1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Just hours ago on a Fox Football Saturday, as we

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: were watching two of the juggernauts of college football take

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: each other on, one thing became abundantly clear. The Ohio

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: State money spent on a transfer quarterback that needed to

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: make the big play lacked.

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: The situational awareness to do.

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: It's Ohio State falls, Oregon wins. And now we have

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: to look at all of it and try and figure

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: out what it means for the wildest, most chaotic year

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: we have ever seen in this sport. It's a Fox

Speaker 2: watching the Game of the Millennium, the Game of the

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: Sinne Oh.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, every week it's you know, just like all the

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: generational quarterbacks that seem to pop up, you know, every

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: damn year it's going on, buddy.

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm just sitting here, still on a high.

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: I'm still sitting here, just juiced. I know we got

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: London football to get to it. Bears, Why I hate

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: international football?

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: How dare you?

29
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: Well? You know it's I love America. That's where we

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: are right right.

31
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Well, we got a story later on that might get

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: your blood boiling then, so that's good. But yeah, Bear's Jaguars.

33
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Come on, Jaguars are a great export.

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: Oh you know, we want to grow the sport by

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: sending the Jags over there.

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: Hey, it still sells out right and clamor for more

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: so as long as the tickets keep getting sold U

38
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: unless the NFL is actually doing the ticket brokering on

39
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: the secondary market, which maybe they got a hand in

40
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: and get their cut, but you know, they sell out,

41
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: they get their money TV that looks good and all

42
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: that stuff.

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: So man, that's fine. We're gonna take the sell out

44
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: if that's the argument, which I'll buy all day long.

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: Can we stop the nickelback hate? Because last time I checked,

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: it's tough to get a nickelback ticket.

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: You know what, I've been arguing that for a year.

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: I have a T shirt that I bought that says

49
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Nickelback fan or liar oh man exact that in See,

50
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: that's always my thing.

51
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Like everybody sits there and tells me how much they

52
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: hate Nickelback and how they're the worst band ever. And

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: then when they're playing in town, you try and get

54
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: a ticket, you can't. It's all sold out. Well that's it.

55
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: Forty fifty million albums sold. They're out there somewhere. They

56
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: might a lot of them might have found their way

57
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: to landfill with all the digital world that we're at now,

58
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: but at some point people shelled out their hard earned money,

59
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: just like everybody did on a Saturday, Jason, all the

60
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: big college games, and certainly for Oregon, hey welcome to

61
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. Chaos ensues. Those final seconds will be

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: mulled over and dissected every which way till Sunday. But

63
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: as you you let it off, like you have the

64
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: situational awareness. One side had all of it, the other

65
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: had none. It's like the three little pigs.

66
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: Well, and you're right, it's gonna be dissected. I understand

67
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: it's gonna be dissected. But the thing that really hit

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: me the most is what can you trust this year

69
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: in college football, and my answer to that has repeatedly been,

70
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: give me a coach with experience that has a quarterback

71
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: with experience. So let's go back in time one week

72
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: and one week ago. Right now, people were yelling and

73
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: screaming about the fact that Tennessee lost a game where

74
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: Nico yama Liava.

75
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: I just wanted to prove it ically done that. Well,

76
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: that was just showing off, and now you're just gonna

77
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: put your headset down and walk away.

78
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: I get if the rest of the show's yama Liava

79
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: is in the situation at the end of the game

80
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: where he needs to make a play. He needs to

81
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: make a throw to the anzeone to try to give

82
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee a chance to win, and instead he loses track

83
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: of time and he runs out of bounds, thinking probably

84
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: that he was going to get out with one second left,

85
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: but instead he gets out with zero seconds. Tennessee loses

86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: the game. Now I forgave that in the moment for

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: all of the work I do at Yahoo Sports covering

88
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: college football, in part because Nico is young. So you

89
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: look at it and say, okay, you know what this

90
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: is what this is the risk you take with the

91
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: young quarterback. You got a kid in there that's barely played.

92
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: He might make that mistake. Last night for Ohio State,

93
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: you had the ball with a minute forty seven seconds left,

94
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: you're driving down. You have the opportunity to make the play.

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: You have the opportunity to come in and win. And

96
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: you had two key moments. One Will Howard did not

97
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: realize after an offensive pass interference that the clock runs

98
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: on the whistle of the ref, so they let about

99
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds just tinkle away for no good reason. And

100
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: then at the very end of the game, when they

101
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: absolutely needed to play, Will Howard runs up the field

102
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: and he thinks he's gonna give himself up with time

103
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: to fall down with one second left. Ohio State doesn't

104
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: get that done. They had a timeout in the bag.

105
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: The whole reason the last minute forty seven looked that way,

106
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: or the last I has forty eight seconds looked that

107
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 2: way is because they had the time out left, so

108
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: they were cautiously holding it and they didn't even get

109
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: to use it. Those are moments from Will how who's

110
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: seen a lot of football, played a lot of football, Harman,

111
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: He's got to be better right there.

112
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Well, And That's the thing, right is you recognize you

113
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: got final seconds, But I mean, how many times do

114
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: we talk about this, Jason? I mean, if you're doing

115
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: the work at Yahoo deep into the night breaking down

116
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: college football, how many times do we scratch our heads

117
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: and go, what the hell are these coaches doing in

118
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: the final two minutes?

119
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: All right?

120
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: We do it on NFL Sundays all the time. It's like,

121
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: all right, you went from the two minute warning, I

122
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: got one playoff and now there's fifty six seconds remain.

123
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: It's like, what are we doing?

124
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: All right?

125
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Where's the urgency, situational awareness and pushing it? And that's

126
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: where we were at with with this situation of all right,

127
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: you know you've got that clock's got to be sped

128
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: up in your head. Of all right, here's what we

129
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: need to do. I've got to make a decision. I

130
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: gotta get down and he doesn't. He thinks he does.

131
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: But you can't leave it to the to the judges. Right,

132
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: It's the old boxing rule. Never let it go to

133
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: the judges. Finish your opponent off if they're there, because

134
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: it goes to the scorecard. All to take is the

135
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: one judge that either didn't like the cut of your jib,

136
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: or maybe they had an angle where they thought your

137
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: opponent got one better blow in on you and that's

138
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: enough to fail you. Here with Howard thought he had

139
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: the extra beat on the clock and he didn't. And

140
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: all credit to Oregon too. The twelve men on a

141
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: feet on the field thing. While it looks dopey in

142
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: real time, it was brilliant situational awareness because they don't

143
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: get those four seconds back on the clock. Took half

144
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: the clock away for five yards, Thank you very much. Okay,

145
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: so it gets a potentially a college kicker five yards closer.

146
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Guess what I'll take my chances.

147
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: You're so right about the four seconds. The four seconds

148
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: mattered so much more, and it was such a key moment.

149
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: You know, if you're Ohio State, you look at it

150
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: and say, man, we had our shot, and you think

151
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: about the way this game went down. You're Ohio State,

152
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: you lost the turnover battle, your quarterback didn't make the

153
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: right situational plays in the last minute of the football game,

154
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 2: had eight penalties for seventy yards. Like, if you're Ohio State,

155
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: everything kind of went wrong for you and you only

156
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: lost by points, So you can turn this you can, like,

157
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: you can polish this one.

158
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Now, that's a good spin if you it's still in

159
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 1: l But again the beauty though, Jason, with the twelve

160
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: team playoffs, does it really matter on the grand scale

161
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: at least right now? No?

162
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: Oh god no. So here's the one way I will

163
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: say it does matter, Like because I've been long since

164
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: I was asked the question last week, you know, what

165
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: is this what does this loss mean for Alabama? Last week?

166
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: And I laughed and I said nothing, Like. I mean,

167
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: they're they're going to play the rest of their season.

168
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: If they win all their games, they're going to go

169
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. The one thing that did hit me,

170
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: and this is the first time I've ever thought there

171
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: was true meeting that game last night. I think we

172
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: can all agree looks wildly different if it's in Columbus, right,

173
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: it's in Oregon, And a lot of credit to the

174
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: Oregon fan base that went nuts and really created a beautiful.

175
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: Environment as they always do.

176
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, that's the one place that does matter is

177
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: because now we talk a lot about, you know, the

178
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: playoff buys and the top four seeds for anyone that

179
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: don't know, will get a college football playoff buy and

180
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: the top four seeds will be the top four ranked

181
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: conference champions. So if you're Oregon, you want those man

182
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: just watching kids try and acclimate to the West coast

183
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: yesterday was tough, right, So your Oregon, that home field

184
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: advantage could be a very big thing. You know. That's

185
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: the one thing that I do look at and say, hey,

186
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of meaning. But you're right, in

187
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: the grand scheme of things, does this matter No, in

188
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: the grand scheme of the things, though, does this continue

189
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: to feed the narrative? What did you have? You had

190
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: a coach on one side and Ryan Day that obviously

191
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: wasn't getting in the head of Will Howard the right

192
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: way before that draft that drive, I should say, you

193
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: have a coach on the other side and Dan Lanning

194
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: that particularly like just absolutely an aggressive on side kick

195
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 2: call in the first half that nobody saw coming, that

196
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: was beautifully executed, but then also a smart decision to

197
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: take the points at the end of the first half.

198
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: After a great goal line stand by Ohio State.

199
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: So like, you got one coach over there in Dan

200
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: Lanning in this problem says a one point when that

201
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: really showed everybody, man, this fire, this emotion, but also

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: this intelligent game management. And you got a guy on

203
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: the other side, that Ryan Day, that may have fed

204
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: the narrative that man sometimes big games against good teams

205
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: isn't his strength.

206
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: Well, and I think that's the bigger part. Right The

207
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: on the field and where it leads for the season

208
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: could be one story, but certainly the narrative of Ryan

209
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: Day is well documented. Still with several big games ahead

210
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: on their schedule, They've got a battle against Nebraska next week,

211
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: then they're on the road at Penn State, and then

212
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: later on, you know, at Northwestern mid November at that

213
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: small field that might just take him out, I don't know.

214
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: And then you've get although Northwestern did put a hurting

215
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: on Maryland on Friday night. But you know, anytime I

216
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: can insert my alma mater and I got to give

217
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: them some love.

218
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: That's allowed. Like, you know, Humble Bragg is a kid

219
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: that went to Juilliard. Like, what do I We had

220
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: a shirt at one point in my life that's at

221
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: Juilliard football still undefeated.

222
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Right, nicely done.

223
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: That's good. It never never played. Yeah, you know, what's

224
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: it like to at least be able to insert your

225
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 2: alma mater into all of this. It just feels like

226
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: that would be fun.

227
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: It feels pretty good. And right now they're three and three,

228
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: one and two in the Big Ten, uh, and we'll

229
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: see where they roll from here. They seem to have

230
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback, so that's fun. Well, well, Northwestern, when given

231
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: a chance at least at this point, seems like they'll

232
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: finish a game. But we'll get to we'll get to

233
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: a good old you here in a minute. But the

234
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: final two weeks of the season are really interesting. You

235
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: got an Indiana team that has just been outstanding, that's

236
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: a game at home, and then finally the old traditional

237
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: game on Big Fox against Michigan UH, and that that

238
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: one's at a home as well. But as you see,

239
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: three huge tests still to come in conference and a

240
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: couple of other teams that can jump up and bite

241
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: you on any given Sunday. So Ryan Day's got some

242
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: work to do in terms of rallies troops to recognize, Hey,

243
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: just this loss doesn't tank a season. But certainly, in

244
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: the moment, you know, you got to go back mind

245
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: your p's and q's about the margins of error.

246
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, in the moment, this feels like you had

247
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: another kick in the no No Places to Ohio State.

248
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: It feels like one of those uplifting moments for Oregon

249
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: where they say, hey, we belong and we are going

250
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: to be national championship contenders. But let me say this

251
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: very clearly, if I had an ap vote today, I

252
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: would still have those as the number two and three

253
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: teams in the country. Why we'll get into that, because

254
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: yesterday there was one result. As much as we just

255
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: said that so much of what happens in college football

256
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, there was one result yesterday that had a

257
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: resounding impact on the rest of this season and maybe

258
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: the next several years in college football. We'll tell you

259
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: about it next on Fox Sports Sunday. He's Mike Carman.

260

Speaker 2: What can you get for over one hundred million dollars?

266
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: Thought that they were getting a coach it would lead

267
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: them to national championships. Instead, Lincoln Riley, one of the

268

Speaker 2: biggest names, one of the most respected people, one of

269

270
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: the sideline while USC season melts away. The question is now,

271
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: how do you fix it? And what's it mean for

272
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: what is supposed to be one of the juggernaut programs

273

00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: and the iHeartRadio app. Harmon. USC loses last night, and

283
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: I can hear everybody right now saying, well, you know what,

284
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: it's okay. This season's just hasn't broken their way. They've

285
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: lost three games. At the very end, it's just been

286
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: one of those heartbreaking seasons to which I would say,

287
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: you spent the entire summer telling me how your team

288
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: bulked up by fourteen hundred pounds. You spent the entire

289
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: summer telling us that you were ready for the change

290
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: over to the Big ten and that you were ready

291
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: to be one of the elite teams. And there's no

292
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: shame in losing to the number four team in the

293
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: country in Penn State, which they did yesterday. But there

294
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: is shame and how they lost, and there's shame on

295
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: the fact that this third loss stacks on top of

296
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: two other bad losses. Now, it's not just about what

297
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: we saw yesterday, Harmon, it's about what we've seen every year,

298
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 2: and USC just has not been good enough.

299
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Year three of the Lincoln Riley run. Yet a Cotton

300
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: Bowl loss back in twenty twenty two where they go

301
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: eleven and three, Like, all right, there's the starting point

302
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: we're jumping off. Last year disappointment. Couldn't play defense, as

303
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: you talk about the physicality of the game, no good,

304
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: even with Caleb Williams running around. It's awf well, five,

305
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: it's a win in the Holiday Bowl, Yay. And then

306
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: you come back this year and it's all right, what's

307
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: gonna be different? What's the approach we're going to the

308
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Big Ten. Here's where we we literally and figuratively bulked up,

309
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: where you know, like you, we're gonna get lean and mean,

310
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna bulk up. Right, We're getting after

311
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: it and we're training, saying our prayers and eating our

312
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: vitamins like hulkoke and told us all those years ago,

313
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: although he didn't tell us about the other vitamins he

314
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: was taking, but pushed out aside for the moment. Is that, yeah, exactly,

315
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: is that you were heading into this new era of

316
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: football going into the Big Ten, everybody joining up. Now

317
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: we're like thirty eight four teams in the conference, and

318
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be ready to compete. And sure you're competitive,

319
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: but you're paid ten million dollars a year to not

320
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: just be competitive, you're to be elite. Right. You see

321
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: all the former USC heroes of the day clamoring and

322
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: chiming in. I'd love smugness of quasi USC fan that

323
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: we see around and gotten all chesty at halftime yesterday's game,

324
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, game hasn't even started yet, Laken's

325
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: in town, all right, let's watch a second half unfold

326
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: before we get to chesty and once again in the

327
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: margins they lose. At USC's three and seven against top

328
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: twenty five teams, Explain that to me, when you're supposed

329
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: to be an elite coach, the whole point of being

330
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: an elite coach is not that we can boat race people.

331
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: Elite coaches, to me are the guys that win in

332
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: the margins when everything's not going right, when you need

333
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: one possession, one decision that's going to make it work.

334
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: And we can cry all we want about a mispass

335
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: interference call. There are one hundred of them at game right,

336
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: officials go youth soccer all the way through. There's a

337
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: million things that folks miss. You gotta play through it.

338
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: You got sixty minutes of football and they come up

339
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: with another l You know, they did work for their

340
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: backers though, because the spread was three and a half

341
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: though fits well, which.

342
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: I either look great teams cover. I appreciate all of that. Hey,

343
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: the funny thing is, and look, I saw this getting

344
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: traction last week and understanding that USC fans don't want

345
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: to hear this right now, but after last week, let's

346
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: remember that, you know, Lincoln Riley at the time was

347
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: twenty two and ten as the USC head coach, and

348
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: Clay Helton was twenty three and nine after thirty two games,

349
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: and Clay Helton also had you know, some big, some

350
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: big wins along the way. So, like USC fans don't

351
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: want to hear this comparison, but to me, the reason

352
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: there was a bidding war for Lincoln Riley is because

353
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley was supposed to be the guy that was

354
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: going to bring this beautiful offense to southern California. And

355
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: this is where it feels kind of nerdy to get

356
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: this deep with it, but I want to remind everybody

357
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: when you look at what it takes to be a

358
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: great college football program consistently, consistently, what do you have

359
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: to have. You have to have a name, image, likeness,

360
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: budget in this in this modern world. Check we know

361
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: that USC has that. You have to have great facilities,

362
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: check we know we have that. Yeah, you look at

363
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: USC and say, okay, you've got to have a recruiting

364
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: area stomping ground that you could own, check we know

365
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: they should have that. Then you look at it and say, okay, well,

366
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: now you got to have a coach that knows how

367
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: to bring in a big name quarterback and the transfer

368
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: portal if they have to or find one that they

369
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: can bring in through the traditional recruiting method. Check you

370
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: have that you need to be able to have a

371
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: top five recruiting class whenever you want. Check they have that.

372
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: There is no outward failing for USC, which means to me,

373
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: when you stack all that together, there is no excuse

374
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: for Lincoln Riley having mediocre results. And this is where

375
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: he's got to understand that certain programs just judge things differently.

376
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 2: If you lose two or three games a year and

377
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: your LSU's coach in the modern college football environment, you're

378
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 2: gonna be okay. I do believe that Brian Kelly's gonna

379
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: be okay if they lose three games a year most years,

380
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: it's gonna they understand. They don't understand it. I don't

381
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: love it. But there are certain programs like Texas, like Alabama,

382
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: like Orgia, like USC that if you consistently lose three

383
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: games a year, you will consistently lose your job. And

384
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: that's that's something that Lincoln Riley doesn't have a lot

385
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: of good will with, Like he doesn't have people in

386
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: the area clamoring to cover him because he's been such

387
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: a great guy since he got there. He doesn't have

388
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: a lot of love behind the scenes for people that

389
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: cover the program, like he hasn't needed that because he's

390
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: just won. Well now he's not winning at the level

391
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: that they need him to win. It just it feels

392
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: like the wheels can fall off on this USC team.

393
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: They gave their biggest punch. They lose. If they lose

394
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: five games this year, people are going to start to

395
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: yell and scream and they still have losable games left

396
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: on the schedule.

397
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing, right, it's the old let's

398
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: nerd out even more from Spider Man. With great power

399
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: comes great responsibility. You got a big paycheck, you have

400
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: the bravado. Look I look at all the Heisman winners

401
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: that I've created, Look at all of these these heroes

402
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: that have gone on to the NFL. And I heard

403
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: local radio a number of folks come playing, oh, well,

404
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: we don't spend that much, we don't have the nil

405
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, well, that that's a problem in organizationally, right.

406
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: It was one of my complaints, again not to make

407
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: it about me, but with Northwestern in this new world, Uh,

408
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: if you've got a guy that can can make the

409
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: grades or whatever you need to do, Like, there's no

410
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: reason that Northwestern shouldn't have been a first mover and

411
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: had an advantage. Syracuse, Duke, Notre Dame, all these schools

412
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: were Maybe you know, you're losing a guy on the

413
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: fringe because he wants to go to a place where

414
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: it translates to NFL money. You could get money in

415
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: his pockets now, right, So you should have had a

416
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: first mover advantage with Usc. There's money all over the place,

417
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Like where in southern California? And

418
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: everybody wants to be attached to a winning program. You

419
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: show results. The checkbooks are flying out right. You're gonna

420
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: get retreads of movies and TV shows that you didn't

421
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: like the first time. And they're gonna throw money at

422
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: a football team as long as they can hang around. Now,

423
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: the old Pete Carroll stuff before he fled like a

424
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: rat off a sinking ship. You know, keep some of

425
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: the Hollywood guys at Bay Jason right, all these years later,

426
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: they're still you know that that tenuous Oh, but you

427
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: know he folk complain. It's like, well, these guys get

428
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty million. It's like, there's no reason

429
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: USC shouldn't be able to match that, and in the end,

430
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: his job is still to coach him up, and that's

431
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: why he's making ten million dollars a year and he's

432
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: not winning games that matter. Again, three and seven against

433
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: top twenty five squads. You went through the full checklist

434
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: of all the things that are there for you at

435
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: your feet at USC, and he's not getting it done.

436
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, the honeymoon is oh, Like, I know everybody's

437
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: expecting different results, right, it's the old definition of insanity.

438
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: You're running out the same product Los Angeles media. I mean,

439
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, if you're winning at all, people are fawning

440
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: all over you. Hell, you don't have to win a lot,

441
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: and they're still doing it nationally and locally, they'll still

442
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: fall all over you because they want to be near

443
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: the program. So you know, whenever he bristles out a

444
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: question and look, the kid asked a bit of an

445
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: awkward question. Both you and I liked this one quote

446
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: he had, but the audio is is suspect because he's

447
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: staring at staring the kid down that asked the question

448
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: about responsibility and margins of error, and he kind of

449
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: tries to stare the kid down of I shouldn't call

450
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: him a kid, but I'm an old man, so relatively

451
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: speaking is he was a representative of the La Times

452
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: that asked the question kind of talking about do you

453
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: see that it's closer? I mean, he tried to give

454
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: him an out, and the guy still got mad at

455
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: him for the question.

456
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 2: The thing of it is, I talked to one high

457
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: level college football coach a couple of weeks ago, and

458
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: we spent the whole time just as friends connecting, talking

459
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: and he kept saying, over and over and over again,

460
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: the margins are so thin. And the weirdest part about

461
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: college football now is everything, whether it's the recruiting with

462
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: the transfer portal, and the margins are so thin. Every

463
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: single margin that is thin should be a win for you.

464
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: They have, like I said, and you make a great

465
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: point about the money they haven't raised, but you make

466
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: an even better point about the money that is there

467
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 2: to be raised. Part of being a coach in modern

468
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: college football is understanding how to find your buddy garrityes.

469
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 2: And you're just gonna you're gonna have to have a

470
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: bunch of buddy guarrities, and then you're gonna have to

471
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: manage those buddy guarrities. That's a Friday Night left right

472
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: lights reference for any of you that didn't watch the show.

473
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 2: But you're gonna have to find your nil. And then

474
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 2: when you have as many players that play in the

475
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 2: league or played in the league that played at USC,

476
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to bring all of that money and

477
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: cachet into what you do. Lincoln Riley at this point

478
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: is not getting the result on the field. And it

479
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 2: is stunning right now. And I know there's still plenty

480
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: of football left, but it's stunning right now to see

481
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: USC near the bottom of the barrel at the Big ten,

482
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 2: with the Big ten standings overall. And we thought UCLA

483
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: was gonna be an abject disaster. We didn't think USC

484
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: would too, and USC at one and two in conference

485
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: is an absolute disaster. All right, it's a Fox Football Sunday.

486
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: There's big news in the NFL that has me saying

487
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: I told you so. We'll tell you about it and

488
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: when we keep going here, But first we got to

489
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: get an update from Kevin Wyer on everything that's happening

490
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: right now. Tell us what's trending, my friend.

491
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a bunch of updates overnight on the

492
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: game set to take place later today. We're about three

493
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: hours away from kicking off Week six of the NFL

494
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars and Bears in London. Ian Rapaport saying

495
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: that Gabe Davis and Evan Ingram listed as questionable but

496
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: are likely to play in that London game. As for

497
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: Texans running back Joe Mixon, he is expected back in

498
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: the lineup today as he's been out the past few

499
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: games with a high ankle sprain. As for Panthers wide

500
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: receiver Deontay Johnson, he should be able to play today.

501
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: He's questionable with an ankle injury. Marlon Humphrey is expected

502
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: to play. He was limited this week with an ankle injury.

503
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: And the Arizona Cardinals unlikely to have their kicker Matt Prater.

504
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: He's questionable the knee injury, and they already elevated practice

505
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: squad kicker Chad Ryland to the active roster. In the

506
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: college ranks, we had some great games on Saturday. Big

507
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: matchup in Eugene number two Ohio state number three Oregon

508
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: came down to the final play, but the Ducks stopped

509
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the Buckeys to get the win thirty two to thirty one,

510
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: so Oregon now six and zero on the season and

511
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: three and oh in their first campaign in the Big Ten,

512
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: And with Texas having a big impressive win against Oklahoma

513
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: thirty four to three, it'll be interesting to see exactly

514
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: who gets that number one spot in this week's rankings.

515
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: Number four Penn State coming back from a two touchdown

516
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: deficit at the half, outscoring USC twenty seven to ten

517
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: in the second half in overtime to beat the Trojans

518
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: thirty three to thirty. Elsewhere in the top ten, Number

519
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: seven Alabama Escapes against South Carolina had a cling for

520
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: dear life, but then you get the win twenty seven

521
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: to twenty five. Number eight Tennessee over Florida twenty three

522
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: seventeen and number thirteen LC one overtime. Didn't get the

523
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: lead until that final play, but it's what they needed

524
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: to win twenty nine to twenty six against Ole Miss.

525
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, all right, it's a Fox Football Sunday.

526
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm Fox Sports Radio. He's Mike Harmon. I'm Jason Fitz.

527
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: You can follow us on social media at Swollen Dome

528
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: for him, at Jason Fitz for me, and you know

529
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 2: I love country music Mike Harmon, Yes, sir, that's part

530
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 2: of my background.

531
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: You and me both. I need more of it.

532
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: There's a there's a good old fashioned country song Randy

533
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: Travis made popular carry Underwood, brought it to a new

534
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: generation called I Told You So. Found myself hummed that

535
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: I'm humming it loud. About eight hours ago when my

536
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: buddy Adam Schefter put out on social media this quote.

537
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: In a fluid and unpredictable situation, it seems to change weekly,

538
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams could wind up staying with the Las Vegas

539
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: Raiders rather than being traded. League sources told ESPN also

540
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: tells everybody that the phone quote is it is not quote.

541
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: Phone is ringing off the hook interest and that the

542
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: fact that the Raiders want a second round pick plus

543
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 2: additional compensation and don't want to pay his salary is

544
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: a big part of the reason why DeVante Adams manned

545
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: up back with the Raiders, and this is this is rare. Mike,

546
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: like I've been wrong. I went on national radio the

547
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: day before Khalil Mack was traded, and I said, there

548
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: is no way in hell that John Gruden is gonna

549
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: trade Khalil Mack. Doesn't make any sense won't happen. The

550
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 2: next day, I wake up hundreds of text messages telling

551
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: me what a more on im? So I've been wrong before,

552
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: I'm first to admit it. But the minute this trade

553
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: and stuff broke, I kept thinking about Khalil Mack, and

554
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: I kept thinking about going to Mark Davis, the owner

555
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: of the Raiders, and saying the new regime, saying, here's

556
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. We're gonna trade one of our

557
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: best players because he doesn't want to be here, and

558
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna get some draft equity which we're gonna use

559
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: as part of a rebuild. If you're Mark Davis, you

560
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: just heard that sales pitch a few years ago and

561
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: whatever you got didn't matter. And Khalil Mack has kicked

562
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: your butt twice a year for years ever since then. Right,

563
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: You just don't want to put yourself in that situation constantly.

564
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: So for me, the fact that all the Raiders were

565
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: likely to get. People I've talked to around the league

566
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: have said that best case scenario is probably a late

567
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: third round draft pick, that's kind of a fourth Why

568
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 2: are you trading Davante Adams for that, even if he

569
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be there late third, early fourth. Just

570
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. I've been saying for weeks. I don't

571
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: think Davante Adams is gonna get traded. Everybody's been telling

572
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: me I'm crazy. I stand by it, and now we

573
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: got Chefter reporting that there's a very significant chance it

574
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: could work out that way.

575
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: Harmon, I'm brilliant. The rest of the world doesnt know

576
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: what they're talking. Nicely done, nicely done. First off, I

577
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: liked your You were drifting down to John Facenda Land

578
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: like you were going to old NFL films and you were,

579
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, gonna give us a little breakdown there. I

580
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: dig that I'm probably gonna run around singing Randy Travis

581
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: songs for the rest of the day because after four

582
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: hours of radio and little sleep and a lot of

583
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of coffee, throat's not so great. Maybe it's

584
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: a karaoke night where you start singing Forever and Ever

585
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: Amen or something along the way. But I told you so. Wait,

586
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: it was a classic, Yeah.

587
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: Mike, Mike Harmon, big karaoke guys.

588
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I'll pop and if the schedule.

589
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: Permits, next time I'm in La, can we do like

590
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: So we.

591
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: Got a couple of places. Yeah, I got I gotta

592
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: go to on right by the Sony Studios, which is

593
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: a really good little bar.

594
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 2: I used to, uh, we'll get back to DeVante everybody.

595

597
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: coming at you from the tyrack dot Com studios. Now

598

00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: Uh really broadcasts professionals nicely.

600
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure they love the way that I did that pastow.

601
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: But I mean, it is the tire Rack Studios. It

602
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: is that time of year, right, I mean, we've had

603
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: weather incidents all over the country. We're well documented. Folks

604
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: getting their power back. Shout out to all the workers

Speaker 1: get yourself ready for the winner.

608
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: This is the moment though, where like I think often

609
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: about former athletes later in life finding ways to still

610
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: get that their competitive juices going. Realistically, you can go

611
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: to the local y and you'll see a bunch of

612
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: guys that played you know, D three college basketball that

613
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: still think they're trying to play in the NBA, that

614
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: are playing aggressively, and I've learned to respect if they're

615
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: playing against like common opponents with each other, I've learned

616
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: to respect that because you spend your whole life being

617
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: competitive and you want to find a way to get

618
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 2: those juices out. When I was touring in music, when

619
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: I first started doing karaoke with buddies, I was so higherd.

620
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm a professional musician, I don't do karaoke.

621
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: And then I did it once and I was like, man,

622
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: it is so much fun to sing something that you

623
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: would never otherwise get to sing. Like when in my

624
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: life was I ever tour in a country band. When

625
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: was I ever going to stand up on stage and

626
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: just suddenly take the mic from the lead singer of

627
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: the band and sing careless whisper I wasn't right, But

628
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: I could get that out of my system and have

629
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: a blast doing it at karaoke. And there's just something

630
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: that over the years has become really It's like it's

631
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: part of my soul. At this point. I love finding

632
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: a dirty, stinky like just dive karaoke bar and just

633
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: going for it. And you know what, I'm gonna be cliche,

634
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sing Sinatra and nobody's gonna st like. I'm

635
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: just I'm all in on this. I was telling Anthony

636
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: Gargano yesterday and the fellas like, I want to put

637
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: together a charity event called Cherioke, right, and and then

638
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: you just have people submit the songs that we have

639
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: to sing. You do it on zoom, and you do

640
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: it in a place you raise money for a charity,

641
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: but you get the chance to just flex that muscle.

642
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: I love getting out there and just singing random songs

643
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: that nobody thinks you would ever sing it a karaoke.

644
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm in, let's go. I'll donate time, effort, I'll smoke

645
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: some meat, whatever we need to do to make that happen.

646
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm in, let's go.

647
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: What does Mike Carmen have a go to karaoke?

648
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 4: No?

649
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean it all depends. I'm really good at helping

650
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: people that are struggling because I'm really loud. Ask my

651
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: daughter at her soccer games. Everybody else is yelling, but

652
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: your voice is the one that we hear and that

653
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: the referees here. So it's fun like that. But generally,

654
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: if you know by time you hit karaoke at a

655
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: late hour, right, Because I don't get off air Monday

656
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: through Friday with Jason Smith here on the network until

657
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: eleven pm. Throat gets a little bit raspy, right, it's

658
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: a little raw from screaming at him about the Mets

659
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: and the Jets and whatever else is going on. So

660
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: I can go and and maybe give you a good

661
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: Steven Tyler, maybe give you a decent axl Rose, who

662
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: showed up at the Intuit Dome, the new Clippers place.

663
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 1: Billy Joel was there last night, shows up and they

664
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: do Live and Let Die. How about that?

665
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: Uh?

666
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: And then uh, you know, so the guys that screech

667
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: my favorite is leading. There was a great rendition I

668
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: heard years ago, is that a thing called bass Player

669
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: Lives raised all sorts of money and celebration of bass players.

670
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: There's how much of a nerd I am. But they

671
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: did a celebration of Geezer Butler. So it was all

672
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: these bass players one after another. And then they had,

673
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, just singers of metal bands coming up one

674
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: after another. And Sebastian Bach of skid Row did Heaven

675
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: and Hell God, So you know, you do some Sebastian

676
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: Bach and maybe you know he was in Jesus Christ superstar,

677
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: so I can go. I'm the theater kid that I

678
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: never was as well, So there you go.

679
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: Oh like, I'm not afraid to bust out some good

680
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: old show tunes. Yeah, I love karaoke. Also footloots, easy

681
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: go to jam two for me nicely nice down there

682
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: you go get people rolling's just got to wear your

683
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: tight pants for some of the high notes.

684
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: Well, I'm working on slimming down with the tight pants,

685
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: so you know we'll get that.

686
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: Well, hey, good for you.

687
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: Well the road to swol.

688
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only thing that deters me a little

689
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: bit if we're being honest with karaoke now, is since

690
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: I in my fitness journey that started in May, I

691
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: gave up alcohol and so I no longer have any

692
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: anything drink. Let's not get it in, folks, I'm California

693
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: sober like. So I'm still out there having a good time.

694
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: But it just that's a little different, you know.

695
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: So there you go. For folks that need to look

696
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: that up, go ahead to look that up. But yeah,

697
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: the one thing that that does become a bummer sometimes

698
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: here in southern California is you do have a bunch

699
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: of professionals that come in it's like, all right, that's

700
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: that's that's too much. Yeah, so like that full in

701
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: That's the one thing I'd say. You're a you're a musician.

702
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: You sing quite obviously. And folks at Jason Fitz you

703
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: can see some of the work he's been putting up.

704
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: He's getting back after it. The muses are speaking. But

705
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: it's you know, the folks that are like, all right,

706
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get discovered because I'm right across the street

707
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: from the Sony studio. So I give it all.

708
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: That brings me my career, that brings me my juices. Though,

709
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: like so like, because I'm not a guy that gets

710
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: up on a karaoke station and puts on a show,

711
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: I usually like, I'm gonna grab a stool, I'm gonna sit.

712
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be very low key about it. But one thing,

713
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: you know, from the beginning, my karaoke experience was always

714
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: in Nashville. You know, lived there for over twenty years, sure,

715
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: and Nashville is the same everybody thinks that's where they're

716
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: gonna get signed and so or you know, frankly, like

717
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: I was saying earlier, it's a lot of people that

718
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 2: have been signed and never really made it. That are

719
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 2: just looking to go out and sing and like, you know,

720
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to have to hire a band and

721
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: put a whole thing together, Like I just want to

722
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: go out and sing a few songs with my buddies.

723
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: Karaoke is a great way to do it. So you know,

724
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: you haven't lived though until you've walked in and you're like, Wow,

725
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: I'm singing karaoke. And that person has a number one

726
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: song on radio right now. That person has put out

727
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: three records, and those three people all have records that

728
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: are working on right now. Yeah. I love that. Like that,

729
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: that that spurs my creative juices. Okay, DeVante Adams, will

730
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: he be a raider? Will he be a jet? And frankly,

731
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: does it matter for New York anyway? And break it

732
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: down when we come back. He's Mike Harmon. I'm Jason Fitzwer,

Speaker 2: from the tai Iraq dot Com studios. He's Mike Harmon.

738
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm Jason fitz Follow us on social media at swollen

739
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: dome at Jason fitz Harmon. I need you to be

740
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: smart because I'm not. I'm pretty, I'm not smart. I

741
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: need you to be smart.

742
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: I'm working to be the latter two. But yeah, I've

743
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: got I've got a giant dome. So let's go.

744
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: H This is where I'm coming to the corner and

745
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: I'm tagging in my tag team partner, and I'm hoping

746
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: you can be my Shawn Michaels because I'm forever going

747
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: to be the Marty Jeannetti in this situation. And you know,

748
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: I keep hearing all of these Davante Adams needs to

749
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: go to the Jets. It works for him, it works

750
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 2: for Aaron Rodgers, and I get why the two human

751
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: beings are really close friends and they want to play

752
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: together like that makes total sense to me. Did I

753
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: miss something where the Jets are doing such a beautiful

754
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: job of utilizing the full potential of Garrett Wilson this

755
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: year that that offense would suddenly become even more explosive

756
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 2: and that would be the missing piece, because what I've

757
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: seen is an offense that frankly looks disjointed, that doesn't

758
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: really have much rhythm in anything. It does. It's only

759
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: force feeding the ball to Garrett Wilson at a depth

760
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: of target that doesn't make a ton of sense to me,

761
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they're signed. They're sort of

762
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: wasting a great wide receiver this year because their offense

763
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: has no rhythm. So to me, I don't look at

764
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: anything that the Jets are doing and saying, you know what,

765
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: they are one wide receiver away from suddenly winning the

766
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, which was supposed to be the metric with

767
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 2: which they were judged this year.

768
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things going on

769
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: with it.

770
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: You know.

771
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: First off, back to the you know, should the Raiders

772
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: get rid of him at all? You know, before we

773
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: got down our karaoke jag was the idea of distress properties.

774
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: How much is it really versus out why? Outside perception? Certainly,

775
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: he did a million interviews. I think Jason and I

776
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: were the only people that didn't get to talk to him.

777
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: He may be on hold now for all I know

778
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: the amount of press that DeVante Adams did over the

779
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: last couple of months. But if internally there's not the

780
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: distress And by the way, you know, the Mark Davis

781
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: fawning all over Shador Sanders thing I think kind of

782
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: plays in this as well. They realize they're going to

783
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: go find a franchise quarterback going forward by hook or

784
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: by crook or in the draft if things really go

785
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: south here, and he's made no secret he'd love to

786
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: see Shador there, which is why you keep saying, DeVante,

787
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: it's got to get better. It's got to get better.

788
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: Take your nine hundred and eighty three thousand dollars a

789
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: week and we'll keep moving on. We're not forced to

790
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: make a deal for the Jets. Does it fix anything?

791
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: I guess you'd have another wide receiver. So maybe Garrett

792
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: Wilson doesn't draw Christian Gonzales and all of these top

793
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: corners each week. But it doesn't matter because unless Devanta

794
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: Adams brings an offensive lineman or three with him and

795
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets that play clock in his head to

796
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: slow down, you know, r E la X, it doesn't

797
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: matter because Garrett Wilson, I mean the average depth, did

798
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: you say it's nothing? Because he's skittish and he's getting

799
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: the ball out fast. He can complain about play calling

800
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: and whether his guy Hackett couldn't get plays in fast enough.

801
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: And maybe Downing will be slightly better at that, But

802
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: do you other than the New England game, and let's

803
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: face it, New England stinks, newsflash. Has Aaron Rodgers looked

804
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: any bit the guy from well, I think it's five

805
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: years ago at this point, but has he looked at

806
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: any the bit of that guy? No, he hasn't.

807
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 2: He's so right to what you say. It's been five years.

808
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: It's sort of a jab to the heart. And look,

809
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 2: I've watched a lot of Todd Downing Jets fans loudly.

810
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 2: I watched him absolutely just he got promoted with the

811
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 2: Raiders to the offensive coordinator spot after being the quarterback

812
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 2: coach Derek Carr and everybody said, Oh, this is gonna

813
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: be perfect. It'll be the continuity the car needs. It's

814
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: gonna be great. The next year was some of the

815
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: just worst play calling I can remember watching as a

816
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: Raiders fan, and I covered part of it with the

817
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans at the time in Nashville, and I watched

818
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: equally dreadful, like the Nathaniel Hackett. How bad he's so bad?

819
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 2: How bad is he? He's so bad that Todd Downing's

820
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: getting another shot at play calling? Like I can't be

821
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: nice here, Like, this is a guy that I have

822
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: no idea. I have no like he's got to have

823
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: great friendships and great relationships in the league. I have

824
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: no idea how he continues to get opportunities to call play.

825
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: But that's how Hackett got his job. That's how a

826
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: bunch of those guys got contracts. And look, Alan Lazard

827
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: may may not work in the rest of the NFL,

828
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: He's fine as a secondary receiver for Aaron Rodgers. They

829
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: have a great connection, but again, timing and getting the

830
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: ball out. Look, you got two good running backs in

831
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: Breise Hall and Braylan Allen who are basically useless to

832
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: you in the current iteration of this offense, right, and

833
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: now you're not suddenly going to become a power offensive

834
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: line because the one thing Downing did have is he

835
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: at least had Derek Henry just give the ball to

836
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: twenty two. That guy's not walking through the door. And yes,

837
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: obviously I used the hyperbole of five years. I was

838
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: having another conversation, and five is a nice number. I know.

839
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers won a couple of MVPs, spurred on by

840
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: being mad when the Packers made the right move to

841
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: draft Jordan Love. But the point is that guy ain't

842
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: walking through the door. They need to figure out what

843
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: this iteration is.

844
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: Also, I love the concept that Aaron Rodgers was so

845
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: mad he didn't know Jordan Love was getting drafted, that

846
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: he wanted to get traded out. And now we just

847
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: were supposed to believe that he had no idea. The

848
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: head coach had fire and he's like, no, that's cool, man,

849
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: Like I don't expect to be in on every conversation,

850
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: like none of this makes sense, will make sense of

851
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: a huge day on a Sunday line up When we

852
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,160

861
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: roll forward here another hour closer to kickoff at Tottenham Stadium,

862
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: there in England, the Bears and the Jaguars. I've got

863
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: a bunch of family representing, including one family member wearing

864
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: a Johnny Knox jersey. How about that fits?

865
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: So was there old portion of you like, did you

866
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: feel at some point like you wanted to go? Because

867
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 2: let me, for anyone that's hearing me for the first time,

868
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 2: let me say loudly, I think the entire International series

869
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: is garbage. I understand why they do it. I think

870
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: it's disrespectful to the West Coast. I think it's disrespectful

871
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 2: to fan bases that lose a game at home. I hate,

872
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: and I mean hate. It's on a field that half

873
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 2: the time isn't ready for football. It's weird elements. Some

874
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: of these games have been key to what will eventually

875
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: we think be playoff standings, and what do you got

876
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: to know? You're playing in a random spot, with a

877
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: random field and in front of a random crowd. I

878
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: hate all of it. But every time I say that,

879
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 2: I do get blowback from some fans that are like, no,

880
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: this is a blast because I get to go to

881
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: insert foreign country here to see my favorite team. Was

882
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: there a part of you that considered, man, I really

883
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 2: want to go see an international game and watch my

884
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: favorite team play in person.

885
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question about it. I certainly had plenty

886
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: of friends, family reach out, We've got some other things

887
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: in the hopper. And then as you know, over the summer,

888
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, my brother and my kids and I we

889
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: made the trip to Ireland, England. We did the whole

890
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift thing. So as far as Harmon's for any

891
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of interplanetary things, I'm tapped for a while. But

892
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: I was really you know, any any of those friends

893
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: that wanted to pony up the money, I was ready to.

894
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: But I do feel the responsibility here. It's it's an

895
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: odd thing. I get it in this day and age,

896
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: and and this is where I age myself. You know, Georgy,

897
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: you actually show up to work every day. Fit's right,

898
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't say that disparagingly to any individual,

899
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 1: but in general, we have a position now where it's

900
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: the all right, this versus just didn't show up. It's

901
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: like anything gonna happen about it. Not not really, We'll

902
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: see him on Monday or Tuesday or when whenever they're back.

903
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what it is. My daughter just

904
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: started a job. She's she's doing some work part time,

905
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: and she has the same thing. And that's when you

906
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: start expanding beyond what we do. I mean, you know,

907
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: someone else will grabbed the microphone full throated at every opportunity.

908
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: But I still feel the responsibility to be here, right

909
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: if there's a big moment, a big game, and certainly

910
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: during football season, right you're doing what six or seven

911
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: days a week? I do six six days a week.

912
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: Saturday is kind of an off day. But you're still

913
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: making a ton of notes. You're still watching games differently

914
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: than you would if you were just a fan, right,

915
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: you still got a notebook in front of you whatever.

916
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: And not to say, hey, it's a hard job, but

917
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: I feel a responsibility to when we crack these airwaves

918
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: to have actually watched the games, not just a highlight

919
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: package or to read somebody's synopsis. So as much as

920
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: I'd love to tap out and go to the International series,

921
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: because I see it a little differently, and except the

922
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,479
Speaker 1: I would agree with the field part of it, because

923
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: it's a soccer pitch and it'll always be a soccer pitch,

924
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: and it's made differently, and it's cultivated differently, and We've

925
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: seen plenty of injuries and issues. Of course, it's not

926
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: much better than what Soldier Field is for the Bears

927
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: might actually be an upgrade.

928
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: You're bylight, like, absolutely, that's hysterical. Soldier Field is is

929
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 2: a beast of its own I do I hear you.

930
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm coming around on the experience portion of it.

931
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: But also I think one thing that we have to

932
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: constantly remember is that the experience is for you know,

933
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: sixty thousand people. The television experience is for millions of people.

934
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: And man, I just West Coast Pst Coast for watching sports.

935
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 2: I live on the East coast now, so I have

936
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: this great advantage. But one thing that I absolutely hate

937
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: frankly about you know, Sundays, is that I wake up,

938
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: you know, and the first games kick off at one

939
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: of the afternoon. So there's a part of me that

940
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: feels like I have an obligation to do something productive.

941
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: In Nashville, which is Central time, the games kick at noon.

942
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: That's a little better. Like by the time you get

943
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 2: up and get your morning rolling, like, there's not really

944
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: time to do anything.

945
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe maybe you go to church. Yeah, maybe maybe

946
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: you go for a walk. You get your gym, work in,

947
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: you walk your dog. Maybe you hit the snooze button

948
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: a couple of times realizing that work week's coming. But yeah,

949
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's tough, like I mean what we do,

950
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: Like I don't get to go to games as much

951
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: as i'd like. Like that's ultimately what got me into this, Jason.

952
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, right, my love of games, live theater, both

953
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: live theater and the pageantry of these games. Right that

954
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 1: you can't just say I'm taking a Wednesday off because

955
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: you know my favorite teams in town. It's like, no,

956
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on, right, a lot of moving parks.

957
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's the International is interesting. And I make

958
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: fun of Soldier Field only because it's owned by the

959
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: park district, right, not the Bears. So you can have

960
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: a tractor pull on Thursday, high school football game on Friday,

961
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: Pearl Jam can come play on Saturday, although they choose

962
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field most of the time, but point being, band

963
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: could play their Saturday night and then the Bears will

964
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: be ready on Sunday. What the field level is and

965
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: what it's looking like, no idea like ground turkey or something,

966
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: but it's uh, yeah, it's it's it's a curiosity. But yeah,

967
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: the international thing and the wake up times, I've just

968
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: gotten used to the West coast thing. So starting at

969
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: six thirty, Hell man, I'm up and I'm on air anyway,

970
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: so let's let's get it on.

971
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: That's fair, That is fair. I just feel like this

972
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 2: moment of I don't know, I don't like my football

973
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 2: with bacon and eggs, you know, like.

974
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, kegs and eggs always a big thing.

975
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean college football tailgating always a thing. I mean,

976
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: look at what we get for big. We call it

977
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: big noon kickoff on a Sunday show. But you know

978
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: what that does when you muddle it together. It sounds like,

979
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: you know, you're having a party on a Saturday night.

980
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: You get my drift. But you see the crowds that

981
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: those morning morning pregame shows get. I mean folks, folks

982
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: are lubricating, ready to go. And I have no doubt

983
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: that many of my friends and family that did make

984
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: the trip to London are very much so right now.

985
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: As they should be. They're also going to see a

986
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 2: Bears offense that is started to click. And I do

987
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: think it's interesting, and you know, frankly, we have such

988
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: high expectations for rookie quarterbacks. The minute they step on

989
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: the field, there is a moment where I look at

990
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 2: and say, hey, it's okay that it takes a second

991
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: for all these things to come together. If I had

992
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 2: one great curiosity about the Bears coming in, it was

993
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 2: whether or not they have the right coaching staff to

994
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: really get the most And by that I mean I

995
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: don't necessarily love Waldron as the hired offensive coordinator. I

996
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: didn't love keeping ebra Flus as sort of a dead

997
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 2: man walking coach. I was a big fan of just

998
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: if you're going to rip the whole thing apart when

999
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 2: you draft, rip it apart, because what you don't want

1000
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: is rip it apart a year or to into Caleb.

1001
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 2: I truly believe that Caleb Williams is going to be great.

1002
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 2: And I know that we are infatuated with Jayden and

1003
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 2: Daniels rightfully so, we're infatuated with CJ. Stroud rightfully so.

1004
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 2: But we're also talking about a year where at this

1005
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 2: point now we will have six rookie quarterbacks that started games.

1006
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to look at it and say

1007
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: not all six are going to have the same success

1008
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 2: right out of the gates the same way. The fact

1009
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 2: that it is starting to click a little bit more

1010
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: for Caleb makes sense. I think that's a good thing.

1011
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: And by the way, I still think that he's going

1012
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 2: to be a superstar in this league for a long time.

1013
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, convincing DeAndre Swift to run north south instead of

1014
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: thinking these Barry Sanders is a really good thing because

1015
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: your offensive line still has issues. But in the end,

1016
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, if you're going to dance around, what's a

1017
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: bad offensive line going to expose you like, you're not

1018
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna have plays just run behind and find your gap

1019
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: that way, right Roshawn Johnson, Herbert when he's been used whatever.

1020
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: But DeAndre Swift the last couple of weeks, Yeah, they

1021
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: had to come to Jesus meeting with Waldron. And for

1022
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: the Bears, you know, they're in that rare space where

1023
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: there's actually expectations coming into the year, right because they

1024
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: spent on all of the weaponry, they draft a dun say,

1025
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: they do all these things that you're thinking, all right, well,

1026
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: all the pieces are in place. To use the old

1027
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: Dave wanstat quote from many years ago, folks could go

1028
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: back and look at that season. The pieces were not

1029
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: in place, but the offensive line still is an issue.

1030
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: And Eberflus to me, you run parallels with Robert Salah.

1031
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: Now obviously quarterbacks on the different ends of the spectrum,

1032
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: no question about it. But suspect play caller, let's call it,

1033
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: well what it is with Waldron, I mean Jackson Smith

1034
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: the Jigma had the uh, the damning thing when told

1035
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: that he was going to Chicago and he just go,

1036
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: good luck with that, and he's like, wait, was that live?

1037
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: Like yeah, was live? You know that kind of thing.

1038
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: So after whatever the meeting was, they simplified things. They

1039
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: started running the ball differently, play calling was more efficient.

1040
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: Would I have brought back Eberflus, Well, probably not. But

1041
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: it's also the Bears, like Mark and I all right,

1042
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: Mark Ramsey are technical producer, follows the Bears, the lifelong

1043
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: fan whatever diseased like me fits and it's the Bears

1044
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: aren't leaving money on the table. You got a contract,

1045
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna work every last day. Should you be on

1046
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: a sideline doing it?

1047
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: No? Maybe not?

1048
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: And off the cases no, But that's one thing all

1049
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: the Chicago teams have in common. They were going to

1050
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: bleed you to your contracts done even if it's to

1051
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: the detriment of the development of your squad, and your

1052
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: point about the rookie quarterbacks is absolutely one hundred percent.

1053
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: Everybody doing the revisionist history Look at Chicago, they're still

1054
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: singed from twenty seventeen because they do the faulty comparison

1055
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: of what Mitch Trubisky became versus what Patrick Mahomes is,

1056
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: which has always been just a faulty, lazy, terrible thing

1057
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 1: for anybody on our network and anywhere else that's used it.

1058
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: It's lazy and it's false because the guy that they

1059
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: quote should have drafted was Deshaun Watson. How the hell's

1060
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: that working out for anybody?

1061
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: Well, and my the other pylon I would add to

1062
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 2: that quarterback Come yeah, let's go Like if we're going

1063
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 2: to sit here and talk about, well they should have

1064
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 2: drafted Mahomes, cool, Did you have Alex Smith in that

1065
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: locker room to teach Mahomes how to be a proche

1066
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 2: hundred percent? In multiple interviews? Did you have Andy Reid

1067
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 2: to develop them? Did you have a way to sit

1068
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 2: him for a year like it's the coach, there's still

1069
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: the bear, it's all of these things together. I just

1070
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: I think the concept that every NFL team has if

1071
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 2: we should have taken My homes presumes that you would

1072
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 2: have had somebody knew what to do with him. And

1073
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: to me, I just think that that's probably under selling

1074
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 2: the impact that the chiefs, organizational structure, and Andy Reid

1075
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 2: had at My Homes. Nobody wants to hear the context

1076
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 2: and nuance, but if we want to have an honest

1077
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: conversation about it, the context and nuance has to be part.

1078
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: No, that's just it, and Washington like, even if we

1079
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: take it to this year, Jayden Daniels coming into the year,

1080
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: I think all of us that have watched the NFL

1081
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: and watched these players, you looked at their offense and

1082
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: say this could be interesting. Now, Brian Robinson's not going

1083
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: to play today, but you brought in Austin Eckler, guy

1084
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 1: who's going to catch seventy balls when he's healthy. Plus

1085
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of wide receivers Terry mclaurin's as

1086
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: good as anybody in the game, right, and Daniels making

1087
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: plays with his legs. Look, and I think it would

1088
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: be this efficient, this brilliantly, this quickly. No, I mean

1089
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: Kingsbury's They're pulling all the strings and the offense has

1090
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 1: clicked on so many levels. I can't wait to watch

1091
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: this game against Baltimore. You want to talk about great theater.

1092
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: Friends down in the Beltway, they're having a blast with

1093
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: this one all week long. But your point about organizational

1094
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: structure and coaching is one hundred percent right, right? How

1095
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: many teams do we actually hold up as great organizations? Five?

1096
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: Seven out of thirty two? I mean, just go down

1097
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: the line, right, the Chiefs the lead the list will

1098
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: take San Francisco still trying to get over. Baltimore consistently wins.

1099
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: You may not like the way they do it, but

1100
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers are at least in the conversation each week

1101
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: and each year. It's not pretty, and the playoff results

1102
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: aren't there for Tomlin, But would you rather be that

1103
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: or a team that's two and fifteen and rolling the

1104
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: dice on the next guy? Riddle me that, I mean,

1105
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't The answer is I don't know. Because I'm

1106
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 1: a Bears fan. I don't know that. Jason.

1107
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 2: I also like, it's amazing what difference having a quarterback

1108
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 2: everybody loves makes. And just think about the fact that

1109
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 2: now all we talk about with Washington is football. Like

1110
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 2: we don't talk about any chaos, we don't talk about

1111
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 2: any problems, we don't talk about anything other than football

1112
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: because Jayden is so good that, like a few months ago,

1113
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 2: it was why would anybody even want the commander's coaching job?

1114
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, Dan Quinn takes it.

1115
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 2: They draft Jadan Daniels. Now it feels like that organization's

1116
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,919
Speaker 2: turned it around. A year and a half ago. Why

1117
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 2: would anybody ever take the Texans job ever again, especially

1118
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: a minority coach? And what do they get? They got

1119
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 2: a coach that absolutely loves the team. They hit a

1120
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: home run in the draft with the quarterback that they drafted,

1121
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 2: and now we talk about the Texans wildly different. For

1122
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: every fan that sits there and says we will never

1123
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 2: be good until our favorite are the owner of our

1124
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: favorite team sells, hey, that's not real, but be just

1125
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 2: look at it. It's not about changing that. I know

1126
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: Washington change their ownership. But the reason we talk differently

1127
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: about them is because they got a quarterback. That's what

1128
00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,959
Speaker 2: it's really about. It's not about who owns a team,

1129
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 2: it's not about who runs the team. It's not about

1130
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 2: any of that. It's like, can you find your quarterback?

1131
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: I still believe that the Bears have their quarterback obviously,

1132
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: So when this eber flu Swaldron thing dies, and I

1133
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 2: think it will, there's still reason for hope because you've

1134
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 2: got Caleb Williams and that's where hope really comes from.

1135
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: No, it's it, and he's shown great strides and the

1136
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: play calling has been more efficient. Is timing with DJ

1137
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: Moore is better? I think having Keenan Allen just on

1138
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: the field is a difference maker. And he's a guy

1139
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: that's going to pick up a bunch of first downs

1140
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: where he's not explosive, and he's gonna miss games due

1141
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: to injury already has right, we set the over under

1142
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: on the show kind of half tongue in cheek, having

1143
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: watched him here in Los Angeles for years. You know

1144
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: stats for days when he plays, but you always had

1145
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: to say the dot dot dot when he plays. You know,

1146
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: we set the games at eight and a half, nine

1147
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: and a half, right, not expecting him, but you're just

1148
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: hoping that he's there come December. If in fact, you're

1149
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 1: playing meaningful football and you've got a defense that's good enough,

1150
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: they'll miss Brisker today with the concussion protocol. But you

1151
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: got a Jacksonville team that you should be able to

1152
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: go in and get a w. But it's one of

1153
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: the more interesting games on the day.

1154
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, a Jacksonville team did. By the way, I mean,

1155
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson's got to be the next to go, right,

1156
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 2: like this thing.

1157
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: He's the leader all the clubhouse. He's plus one twenty five.

1158
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 2: For all of the conversation about what's wrong with the

1159
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: Bears offense that I've had, and like, what's wrong with

1160
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 2: Kayleb Williams. So far after today, the Bears should be

1161
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 2: four and two and the Jags are likely to be

1162
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 2: one and five. Like, that's just when you start saying

1163
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 2: those numbers, those are numbers that you can't just ignore.

1164
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 2: So kudos to the Bears for finding a way to

1165
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 2: win through this, but also, just my god, this thing

1166
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 2: is an abject disaster for the jackson.

1167
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really really quick With the Jaguars, It's interesting,

1168
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: right because you go back to that game against Miami

1169
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 1: that they lost in ot if Etn doesn't fumble that

1170
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: ball off his knee, yep, right, the next play is

1171
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. By the way, the only time we've said

1172
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill's name in a highlight other than highlighting catches

1173
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: he's not making or plays that his quarterbacks can't make

1174
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: over the course of the year. So just to flat.

1175
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: And then they lost the next week, a narrow loss.

1176
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: I think the first two losses were by a total

1177
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: of eight points. And this goes back to some of

1178
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Riley thing, Like Trevor Lawrence has not been good,

1179
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: Like even two weeks ago that lost to the Texans.

1180
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: They should have won that game going away. He missed

1181
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: so many throws down field, and he's got a good

1182
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: one in Brian Thomas Junior. That kid's going to be

1183
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: a star, no question about it. But you know, between

1184
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: ETN Tank Bigsby, they're gonna need to lean on them

1185
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: a bit more because Lawrence is just scattershot, Like his

1186
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: efficiency completion percentage is just in the tank. So they've

1187
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to bolster that. But yeah,

1188
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson favorite in the clubhouse, and like I said,

1189
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: with Lincoln Riley, the margins and the coaching.

1190
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't believe in any of that like it.

1191
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: This is also they already paid the quickly. Just remember it.

1192
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 2: They pay Trevor Lawrence, who now will have been through

1193
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 2: two coaches, he'll be on to his third. I know

1194
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 2: the first one was a joke, but man, this is it.

1195
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 2: You get it right or you're gonna start this career

1196
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 2: path of just you're gonna have to separate from Trevor

1197
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 2: Lawrence and somebody else is gonna have to figure out

1198
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 2: if they can find the best out of it.

1199
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,959
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. Doesn't that seem like so long ago?

1200
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 2: It really does.

1201
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, how time flies. He's Jason Fitz. I'm Mike Garman.

1295
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,680

Speaker 1: Say, Oh, hit that hit that violin.

1297
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,760

1299
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 2: That's the only look at that. The only thing that

1300
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: I would say.

01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Oh, that's some wisdom, previdence, wisdom. Hey, do you want

Speaker 1: Manute cup of coffee has ninety five. So you know,

1304
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,920

01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: over to Shay. Yeah, there you go behind the scenes

1306
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. Hey, we'll talk Pittsburgh quarterbacking in

1307
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: a moment. As we continue here at Fox Football Sunday,

1308
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, grab at Sunday morning,

1309
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I would say it, but why don't we go over

1310
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: to Kevin Wire get an update what's trending in our

1311
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: sporting universe, including all those injury updates which upkay? Yeah,

1312
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: what about two hours away from the first game of

1313
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: the day in the NFL out in London Jaguars and Bears.

1314
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: And speaking of these international games, Roger Goodell actually spoke

1315
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: about them on Saturday, and he said that if the

1316
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: league expands the regular season to eighteen games, that there's

1317
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: a possibility that they could stage up to sixteen international games.

1318
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: And he also said that a Super Bowl overseas is

1319
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: a possibility. So something to keep an eye on as

1320
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: they continue to make that investment into London, Germany, Brazil,

1321
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: several places outside of the United States. That's for the

1322
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: injury news. He and Rappaport with quite a few updates overnight.

1323
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: As the bucksneering full strength with safety's Antwoine Winfield and

1324
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Whyhead, they are likely to play. Offensive tackle Luca

1325
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: Godi and defensive tackle Elijah Cantsey are both expected to play.

1326
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Raiders running back is a mere White is dealing with

1327
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: a groin injury, but he is considered a long shot

1328
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: to play despite practicing and Friday, and they did a

1329
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: downgrade to Kobe Myers to doubtful. Last our Colts quarterback

1330
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson he has listened as questionable with his oblake,

1331
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: but he did have a good week of practice and

1332
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: he could play if he has a good pre game workout.

1333
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: And for the first game of the day, the Jaguars

1334
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: and Bears, Rappaport saying that Gaye Davis and Evan Ingram

1335
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: are expected to play. Texans running back Joe Mixon expected

1336
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: to be back after missing the last few games with

1337
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain. Deyonce Johnson expected to be out

1338
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: there for the Panthers with his ankle injury. Marlon Humphrey

1339
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: supposed to play for the Ravens today despite being limited

1340
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. But the Cardinals is going to

1341
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: be without their kicker, Matt Pray. Ridley's very likely to

1342
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: be without him. They already did elevate practice squad kicker

1343
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: Chad Ryland to the active roster.

1344
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 2: And just a.

1345
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: Couple of notes in college football some big matchups. Number

1346
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: three Oregon Number two Ohio State. The Ducks hold off

1347
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: the Buck guys to win at thirty two to thirty one.

1348
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Number one Texas rolls over Oklahoma thirty four to three,

1349
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: and Number four Penn State, erasing a two touchdown halftime deficit,

1350
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: outscores USC in the second half in overtime twenty seven

1351
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,320

1362
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: after we get off the air. He's got a cool

1363
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: signature that goes with it as well, at least in

1364
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: the digital world. The Pittsburgh Steelers against your Las Vegas Raiders.

1365
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: A little later, Jason thirty seven is the total thirty

1366
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: seven Pittsburgh three point favorites and the on again, off

1367
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: again discussion about the quarterbacking position. Looks like Justin Fields

1368
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: gets one last starts. We talked offensive coordinators and coaching

1369
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: and everything. Arthur Smith still trying to bring out the best,

1370
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: and there's been some parts to justin Fields. For me,

1371
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,959
Speaker 1: it's run game first, right, It's always run first, play

1372
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: defense in Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger the outlier in terms of quarterback play,

1373
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: but hoping to unlock some things with fields and his

1374
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: elusiveness and running ability. But they haven't had both their

1375
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: backs today. They will warn back with nausey Harris, but

1376
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: you've got the whole. George Pickens can undrum find ten

1377
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: thousand for his messaging on his face in this last game,

1378
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: and they've actually had him on a bit of a

1379
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: load management slash pitch count. And if you saw the

1380
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: super cut, I watched it several times. Effort is a

1381
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: lowercase E. If it's there at all, I love.

1382
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 2: The way lowercase it's not there, you know. And it's

1383
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 2: interesting because we talk about everything right now with the

1384
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Steelers like it's a disaster, because it feels like there's

1385
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 2: a lot there that just hasn't clicked yet. But then

1386
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 2: we are reminded, as we are every single year, that

1387
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 2: no matter how much things feel dysfunctional for Pittsburgh, I mean,

1388
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 2: they're three and two and they should win this game today,

1389
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 2: they should be four and two, and so you could

1390
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 2: look at it and say, hey, they've managed the Justin

1391
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 2: Fields era so far, and he's played well enough at times. Frankly,

1392
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 2: I would play I would play Justin Fields today and

1393
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because I don't want to take

1394
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 2: on while they are now just a one headed monster

1395
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 2: with Max Crosby, nobody else on that defensive line for

1396
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 2: the Raiders is remotely healthy. It was already not a

1397
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 2: particularly healthy group, and they have been decimated by injuries,

1398
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 2: the latest of which might be one of the stupid

1399
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 2: stupidest injuries I've seen in modern NFL. Christian Wilkins injures

1400
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 2: his Foot's put on ir He's going to miss some time.

1401
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 2: And how was he injured because another player was climbing

1402
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 2: up his back to celebrate a sack. So there you go.

1403
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 2: Now you lost one hundred million dollar man with the

1404
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 2: foot injury because defensive tackle decided he wanted a piggyback

1405
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 2: bride to celebrate the sack in the middle of a game.

1406
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: Shades gramatica brother jumping up and down after a field

1407
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: goal and tearing his acl The.

1408
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 2: First thing I thought when Adam Butler climbed up his backs, like, man,

1409
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 2: that's just an awkward way to fall. Somebody's gonna get

1410
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 2: hurt that way. Christian Milkins never came back in the game,

1411
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 2: and now he's on ir So you just but you

1412
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 2: look at this defensive line and say, well, it's a

1413
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 2: one headed monster. But that one head is Max Crosby,

1414
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 2: and Max is gonna abuse quarterbacks, that's what he does.

1415
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,799
Speaker 2: I think you like the mobility, frankly of Justin Field's

1416
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 2: being able to run around, and also I think he's

1417
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 2: gonna have Justin fields if he plays in this game.

1418
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: I would hammer the quarterback rushing over because you're going

1419
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 2: to have a bunch of players on the back end

1420
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 2: of the defense that aren't really capable of stopping a

1421
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 2: running quarterback. In my mind, so I would play Justin Fields.

1422
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 2: But I think no matter who they play, they still

1423
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 2: win this football game. And well, go ahead, sorry, well no,

1424
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 2: I was going to say. The only thing is Hammer

1425
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 2: the under We talked about how the point total is

1426
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 2: so small. That's fine. I don't think either of these

1427
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 2: offenses can still score, and I think both of these

1428
01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 2: defenses win the day.

1429
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, kickers first and foremost, right as we as we

1430
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: roll forward in this one, I'm trying to find a

1431
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: rushing prop for Justin Fields as we speak. But we

1432
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: look at that game on the other side, you know,

1433
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders, you talk about the defensive ones, Aidan O'Connell

1434
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: back under center, Gardner Minshumania has been destructed, and you

1435
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: know I would be remiss. It was twenty seven years ago.

1436
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Today the USA Network reminds me that Degeneration X was

1437
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,639
Speaker 1: officially formed. That's right, that's right, Triple H and Sean,

1438
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: you reference me as you know, a Shawn Michael's like candidate.

1439
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: People can go find the glitter coats and other things.

1440
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: I've warned the concerts. I have a little bit of

1441
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: theatricality to me at times. So, yeah, Degeneration X all

1442
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: those years ago. But aide O'Connell gets the helm, but no,

1443
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,839
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers right, he's doubtful, which means he implying DeVante

1444
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: Adams ain't walking through that door and you're missing one

1445
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: of your tight ends. Good thoughts with mayor as he

1446
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: he goes to IR and hopefully he's okay. Family and

1447
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Not a lot of details out of there,

1448
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: but they didn't find a good one in brock Bowers.

1449
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: And I gotta imagine that you see Aidan O'Connell calling

1450
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: hot route and looking for him every turn, And.

1451
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: Frankly, I think Aidan O'Connell should start because Gardner Minshu

1452
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 2: has been reckless with the football. That being said, Aidan

1453
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 2: O'Connell's gonna get murdered today all over the offensive life

1454
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 2: of the Raidersson might be one of the worst Raiders

1455
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 2: offensive lines I've ever seen this year, that's how poorly

1456
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 2: they're playing. I mean, we all know how bad the

1457
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 2: Raiders are year in and year out. This offensive line

1458
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 2: is just dreadful. They are awful, and so it hasn't

1459
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 2: come together. They haven't been able to gel. They've had

1460
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 2: little spurts, little moments missed me with any of the

1461
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 2: PFF numbers on offensive line, And it doesn't matter what's

1462
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 2: the damn games and he's just this is this is

1463
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 2: a total disaster up front, and Aiden doesn't have the

1464
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 2: mobility that Gardner has. So while Gardner has been reckless

1465
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 2: with the football and doesn't deserve to start, Ayden basically

1466
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 2: is being put back there like a sacrificial lamb. It's like, great,

1467
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 2: that's gonna go and go really well for him. I

1468
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 2: hope you hear the sarcasm in my voice. I think

1469
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 2: Gayden could He could end up on the ground seven

1470
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 2: or eight times in this game and it wouldn't surprise me. Yeah.

1471
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: I just sent a bucket to you telepathically to clean

1472
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 1: up all the sarcasm as it's going through. As it

1473
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: drips down, we'll just collect it and see how much

1474
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: we We finished the show with We're in the tirerac

1475
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: dot Com, Fox Sports Radio Studios. There you go. The

1476
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: over under on rushing yards. I was able to find

1477
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 1: it thirty nine and a half for Justin Fields. I

1478
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: concur if nothing else, he'll be running screaming like he's

1479
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: in a horror movie as he's being chased by Max Crosby.

1480
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: And now that I put that image in your mind,

1481
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: we'll talk about a couple of more games as we

1482
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:53,719
Speaker 1: roll through, some big over under totals, some fantasy plays,

1483
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: and maybe just some excitement as fans as we roll on.

1484
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,759
Speaker 1: It's Fox Football Sunday. He's Jason Fitz and I'm Mike Harmon.

1485
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us on Fox Sports Radio. Hey,

1486
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,759
Speaker 1: welcome back, Hen, It's Fox Football Sunday. Here Fox Sports Radio.

1487
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 1: He's Jason Fitz. I'm Mike Carbon, Thanks for hanging out

1488
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: with us. Having a blast this morning. My the time

1489
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: goes so fast as we get ready for kickoff. Yeah,

1490
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: I get those fantasy lineups set. If you do have questions, Jason,

1491
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: I'll tackle some of them over the next two hours

1492
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: on air, but certainly after the show at Swollen Dome

1493
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: is where you can find me because I'll be well

1494
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:33,560
Speaker 1: my rapt attention watching the Bears and Jaguars from Tottenham

1495
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: Stadium as we roll through. It's weird to have expectations

1496
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:40,759
Speaker 1: for a team because I just went through one hundred

1497
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: and twenty one lost season with my White Sox, Jason,

1498
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: So you know, when the old Gary Barnett at Northwestern

1499
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Line was expect victory for the White Sox, it became

1500
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 1: a We're gonna play a game and I'm gonna enjoy

1501
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 1: all one hundred and sixty two of them wherever they fall.

1502
01:12:57,920 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: And now we move on the worst of it, though,

1503
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: is my Weekday partners, well, their teams are playing in

1504
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: the NLCS today. We talked about it with Shay and

1505
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: whether he should go or not. My executive producer, Dodger fan,

1506
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: my Tag team partner Jason Smith. I don't know if

1507
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: anybody's heard kind of a big Mets fan. So so

1508
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: folks should all, just as the Simpsons taught us all

1509
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: those years ago, pray for Mojo. The NFL slate for

1510
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Week six has an interesting disparity dichotomy trench between some

1511
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: of the haves and have nots in terms of games

1512
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: that we really are eagerly anticipating and a few that

1513
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: you might want to watch a streak of paint dry

1514
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: the aforementioned Steelers Raiders game. We have personal interests. I've

1515
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of friends in Pittsburgh. We talked to

1516
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: team a bunch you with the Raiders, and then you

1517
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: got the Chargers. Same thing. Excitement, Hey, Denver bo Nix

1524
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: this week in Week six, although Houston hasn't been able

1525
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: to surmount consistent pressure, so he might actually be okay

1526
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: in this one. No Ramandre Stevenson for those checking at home.

1527
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: But one of the games of the day in the

1528
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: What Are You is Arizona and green Bay forty seven

1529
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: and a half to total, green Bay a five and

1530
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. Jordan Love and his band of

1531
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Merriman Kyler Murray coming off a huge win over the

1532
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, And at this point this is a

1533
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: for me, get the popcorn ready, because I don't know

1534
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: what I'm going to see from either of these squads.

1535
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 2: Is it okay for us to finally start admitting out

1536
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 2: loud that Jordan Love is just sort of inconsistent. That's

1537
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 2: my question. Is there like they're really good throws and

1538
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 2: they're really bad throws. We saw some of that last year,

1539
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 2: but he got hot the last eight games of the

1540
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 2: season and everybody he said, oh well, let's forgive the

1541
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 2: early portion of the season he was knocking off the rust.

1542
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 2: He hasn't played for a while, and I'm thinking that

1543
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,799
Speaker 2: feels like oversimplification a little bit to me. But okay,

1544
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 2: and what do we see the first game of this year.

1545
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 2: He didn't play very well and everybody says, wow, it's

1546
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 2: just the first game of the year. Then he misses

1547
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 2: a couple of games to injury, and he comes back, well,

1548
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 2: he's knocking off the rust. Like, my god, people are

1549
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 2: hurting their hamstrings bending over to make excuses for the

1550
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 2: inconsistencies of Jordan Love. Like, I'm not saying he's bad.

1551
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 2: I just think that we anointed him after a very

1552
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 2: small sample size, and he might turn out to be

1553
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 2: really good. He might also turn out to be kind

1554
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:37,480
Speaker 2: of good and bad. And we've seen that within games themselves,

1555
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 2: like they're just their throws. Sometimes you look at it

1556
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 2: and say, what the heck is he even aiming? Like

1557
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 2: what is he thinking on that throw? And I just think,

1558
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 2: for the level of praise that we give Jordan Love,

1559
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 2: that level of inconsistency doesn't make a ton of sense.

1560
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look at you know, Greg, I always defended

1561
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: the Packers drafting him, right the Aaron Rodgers waffling on

1562
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: on retirement and all of that stuff. But to your point, Yeah,

1563
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,879
Speaker 1: and it's a small sample size and we're so thirsty,

1564
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: and I think he made this point last hour to

1565
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: encapsulate it for the folks. They'll get it in the

1566
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: podcast when they download that later if you missed it live,

1567
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: just the idea of quarterback play. We're so thirsty and

1568
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: so needed, you know, quarterback play to be exceptional that

1569
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: when we see glimpses of it, we grab tight and

1570
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: we don't let go. And for Jordan Love, he had

1571
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: a bit of that in the second half to where

1572
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: it started to click, obviously making the Dallas Cowboys look

1573
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: silly in the playoff game. All comes together, but I

1574
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: don't think he should have been on the field against Minnesota,

1575
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 1: like he looked grossly uncomfortable and out of sorts against

1576
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushes and you know Brian

1577
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: Flores being in his bag. That was a game that

1578
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: I didn't think he should have been out. And I

1579
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 1: don't know how much you improve physically when you're being

1580
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 1: chased around as he wore as he was even last week.

1581
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: Only completed fifty seven percent of his passes in that

1582
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: win against the Rams, and a Rams team. You know

1583
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's not playing. I don't know if you know

1584
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:02,839
Speaker 1: this fit's.

1585
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm blown away. Though as you say that, I realize

1586
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 2: that we as a society are stage five clingers. We

1587
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 2: all one date, one date, and we're like, you know what,

1588
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 2: this might be the one, This might be the one,

1589
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 2: Like why is it in a world we're also you know,

1590
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 2: every like we're scared of commitment as a society though,

1591
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 2: like in general, I think you know, everybody's a little

1592
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 2: afraid to commit to much in today's world, but we're

1593
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 2: not afraid to commit to a quarterback, like we're desperate

1594
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 2: to Well, I gotta get him signed now, Like if

1595
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 2: you know he's the guy, you better get ahead of

1596
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 2: the cycle. Like you're not gonna be able to build

1597
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 2: a team around him if you're like, we find all

1598
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 2: of these reasons that we have to desperately put a

1599
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 2: ring on it with every single quarterback. And I'm like, guys, relax,

1600
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 2: if you love her, you're still lover her in a year,

1601
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,719
Speaker 2: Like it's good, you know it's this isn't gonna go anywhere.

1602
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 2: If if Jordan Love was gonna be the end all

1603
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 2: be all, Oh my god, answered, then you figure out

1604
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:00,839
Speaker 2: the contract. But I do think that there's an element

1605
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,759
Speaker 2: of there was so much desperation.

1606
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: He's got to be the right guy.

1607
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 2: He's got absolutely have to. I'm looking right now at

1608
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 2: the jacksuit we talked about last Segmentute, Is Trevor Lawrence

1609
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 2: really worth fifty five million dollars? I don't know. At

1610
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 2: least with Dak, we've seen MVP caliber performance consistently, love her,

1611
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 2: hate the playoffs. I'm not going to let one game

1612
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 2: outweigh everything I see for seventeen games. And I think

1613
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 2: that we did the opposite of that with Jordan Love.

1614
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,799
Speaker 2: We let one game against an unmotivated, just trash Cowboys

1615
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 2: team suddenly just changed the entire way we talk about him.

1616
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 2: And then we forgave the game on Monday Night against

1617
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 2: my beloved Raiders where he played like garbage, Like we

1618
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 2: just we pick and choose the narrative because we want

1619
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 2: to fall in love with these quarterbacks.

1620
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: Wow, perception of Raiders versus what the Cowboys were supposed

1621
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,719
Speaker 1: to be at that point, right, because we were putting

1622
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: Micah Parson's name in discussions with Lawrence Taylor, not me,

1623
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:54,440
Speaker 1: but collectively as a national media again thirsty for a storyline.

1624
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it goes back to look, I

1625
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: celebrate the real least of the Shawshank redemption all those

1626
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: years ago. We're celebrating thirty years of it that, you know,

1627
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: hopes of the best and worst of things right at

1628
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:11,480
Speaker 1: different stages of the movie. You get that, and it's dangerous.

1629
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: And certainly with quarterbacks, we're talking about all these rookie quarterbacks.

1630
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: We didn't even get to Spencer Ratler, the other one

1631
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna be out there, Like I don't always think

1632
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: that the quarterback needs to play if he's not ready.

1633
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: Guess what, it can wait. You got a couple more

1634
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: years on that deal, because you'd better wait rather than

1635
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: lose him. He's Jayson. I'm buying Fox Football Sunday more next.

1636
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 2: Every season gives us certain games that become benchmarks, prove

1637
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 2: it moments, certain times that you can stop everything and

1638
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 2: say hey, as much as we don't want to make

1639
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 2: too much of one result, this result matters. And today,

1640
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 2: particularly for the Washington Commanders, they have an opportunity to

1641
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 2: gain one of those benchmarks, to get true respect, to

1642
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 2: stop the world and show everybody that in every possible way,

1643
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 2: the Washington commanders had become this year's Texans. And I

1644
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 2: don't know what's more impressive the turnaround or the fact

1645
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 2: that we are sitting here legitimately talking about what a

1646
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 2: threat Washington can be to a team that we thought

1647
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,799
Speaker 2: could be a Super Bowl contender. It's a Fox Football Sunday.

1648
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 2: He's Mike Harmon, I'm Jason Fitz. We're coming at you

Speaker 2: live from the ti iraq dot com studios. Tyrac dot

01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 2: Tirack dot com the way tire buying should be, Harmon,

1653
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 2: the way this NFL season should be. We thought that

1654
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 2: we'd be coming into a year where, frankly, Washington would

1655
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 2: be slowly working Jaden Daniels in to see what he

1656
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 2: could be. Not a lot of high expectations. If we

1657
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 2: rewind to a few months ago, and Baltimore is certainly

1658
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 2: going to go out there and be just Baltimore right,

1659
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 2: the glorious team that we thought that they could be.

1660
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 2: And in fact, as we sit in this weekend, as

1661
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 2: we come into a weekend that you mentioned earlier, has

1662
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 2: some great matchups and some duds. What's interesting to me

1663
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 2: is that we have a Ravens team that, you know,

1664
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 2: frankly has had some inconsistent moments, but looks like they're

1665
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 2: on the precipice of being dominant, and a Commander's team

1666
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 2: that despite the fact that they don't have a lot

1667
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 2: of defenses out here at four and one and they

1668
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 2: are just mesmerizing the world. The question is is it sustainable?

1669
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 2: And realistically that's a hard question to answer in the NFL,

1670
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 2: but it's not a hard question to answer if you're

1671
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,799
Speaker 2: taking on Baltimore in Baltimore with the team that everybody

1672
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:28,719
Speaker 2: seems to respect.

1673
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the curiosity of you know, where the rubber

1674
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: meets the road, right, and this is one of those

1675
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: for the Commanders where we've got the four and one

1676
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: start and we can go back and you know, it's

1677
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: always the Hey, check the tape. Look what I said

1678
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: that we thought the Commanders could be interesting because we

1679
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: didn't think the division was very good, right Philadelphia, a

1680
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: lot of unrest going at the back end of last year.

1681
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 1: One of the huge headlines, you know, that was one

1682
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 1: of the things we talked about, the Jaguars playing the Bears.

1683
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: Later on, Peterson was lucky that the Eagles collapsed so

1684
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: badly that it took all the spotlight off of what

1685
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 1: would have been on Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville, right, because

1686
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: it was so so much a fail in Philly that

1687
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: that garnered all the headlines. And you know, would they

1688
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 1: fire Sirianni after such success? Whatever. But we try to

1689
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: go through and we look at the schedules, and at

1690
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 1: this point it's still a lot of hand ringing of well,

1691
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 1: who did they beat and whatever else. Ravens are great

1692
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: by a lot of metrics, but they lose those two

1693
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: early games, including that loss to the Raiders, that leave

1694
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: people still kind of wondering what it's all about, because

1695
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: the defense certainly has not been the strength of this squad.

1696
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: Quite the contrary, it's all Derrick Henry Lamar Jackson and

1697
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: getting the tight ends involved. A couple of weeks ago,

1698
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 1: I did enjoy talking on the Fantasy podcast that Dan

1699
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: Byer and I do the eyewatch of Flex Jason, just

1700
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: the idea of what a coach has to tell you

1701
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: how much he really enjoyed the pancake blocks of your

1702
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 1: tight ends. You know, your tight ends did not have

1703
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: a good fantasy day for you because there's no category.

1704
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 1: But the commanders like the thought was in the division, right,

1705
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: talk about Philly Dallas offensively, Look what they were putting

1706
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 1: out at running back. Now, Dowdell might be serviceable, but

1707
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's complaining he's not getting the ball. Did you

1708
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: want him getting the ball if you were a fan

1709
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: of the couch No, Hey, that's great for nostalgia, stand

1710
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: on the sideline, But dak in terms of what he's

1711
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: gotten weapons, Ferguson's okay, maybe Tolbert's going to emerge alongside

1712
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: ceed Lamb, but the only thing you've had to hang

1713
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: your hat on is the connection with Ceedee Lamb. And

1714
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: the defense has been suspect now missing both Lawrence and Parsons,

1715
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: so you push them aside. And the Giants are plucky,

1716
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: But are they any good? I don't know. We'll find

1717
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: out tonight over hundred forty eight in the game against

1718
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: a Cincinnati squad that can't play a lick of defense. Hey,

1719
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: remember all you people I met leaving the Super Bowl

1720
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:51,879
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, how's.

1721
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:52,639
Speaker 2: That working out for you? Now?

1722
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,640
Speaker 1: When you thought it was the air of good feelings

1723
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: and how quickly you'd get back there. I told you that,

1724
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: I tell you now anyway back to Washington. A fantastic

1725
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: run thus far, we're.

1726
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 2: Working through something that, Buddy like, maybe we're working through something. Well.

1727
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: I just tried to convince folks because they were just

1728
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: too happy with a loss on a game they gave

1729
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: away that. Ah, you know what, it's the beginning of

1730
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: a great new era. It's like, no, no, it's the

1731
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I should not be walking out as a

1732
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: neutral fan of just the NFL with no dog in

1733
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 1: the fight, being more angry at how that fourth quarter

1734
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: went down than you are. I get it, you got

1735
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: a vacation to southern California, but the expectation of oh,

1736
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:40,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna run back as Dann Marino, how that feels? Anyway,

1737
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: it will work through that. Jane Daniels has been fantastic,

1738
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: Kingsbury pulling all the strings, good weapons. Now we get

1739
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: a step up in class, right, Cleveland's no good, Arizona's

1740
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 1: been up and down. Cincinnati we already discussed can't play

1741
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: defense the aforementioned Giants, and then early on they got

1742
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 1: worked back in Week one by Tampa before rolling off

1743
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: the four wins. So yeah, now Baltimore, which has by

1744
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these metrics you mentioned pff, there's a

1745
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: lot of others where I'm like, I kind of shrug,

1746
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: I go, all right, they're part of a large algorithm

1747
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: that we can put together. I'll take there. But again,

1748
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: I want the eye test. Yeah, if he can go

1749
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: and solve this, he wins the Beltway. And unfortunately, if

1750
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,719
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams doesn't throw for four hundred and four against

1751
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, they may crown Jadeen Daniels emperor.

1752
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 2: I'm not sure they shouldn't, you know. And then yeah,

1753
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 2: let me also crown Cliff Kingsbury here, who you know.

1754
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 2: I think both of us can have a little bit

1755
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 2: of angst in our heart because Cliff Kingsbury was available

1756
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 2: for the Bears to hire if they wanted. You know,

1757
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury was working on a contract with the Raiders,

1758
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:50,800
Speaker 2: but they refuse to give him an extra year on

1759
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 2: his deal. So he becomes Washington's offensive coordinator. And he's

1760
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 2: done a really nice job with Jaiden Daniels of just

1761
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 2: sort of opening the layers one at a time, and

1762
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 2: it's and incredible to watch. I think, what's funny is

1763
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 2: this is what we do when we don't think teams

1764
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 2: are gonna be good. We put a yeah butt next

1765
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 2: to all their wins. Yeah but they beat the Giants

1766
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 2: and the Giants stink. Yeah, but they beat the Bengals

1767
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,560
Speaker 2: first month of the season, that never counts. Yeah, but

1768
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 2: they beat the Cardinals Cardinals there and they good. Like

1769
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 2: we've done that every time. But realistically, if we just

1770
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 2: look at where Washington sits right now, four and one,

1771
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 2: if they get a win today against Baltimore, go to

1772
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:28,520
Speaker 2: five and one the next several games Panthers, Bears, Giants, Steelers,

1773
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 2: They're likely to be a favorite in all four of

1774
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 2: those games. Like, there's a very real scenario that gets

1775
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 2: Washington to eight to nine wins quickly. And that's at

1776
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 2: some point you just got to step back and respect it. Now.

1777
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 2: I realize, you know, we watched Minnesota a few years

1778
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 2: ago just reel off a bunch of wins and they

1779
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,680
Speaker 2: weren't any good. And we watched Philly get to ten

1780
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 2: in one and we realize they weren't any good. But

1781
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 2: I feel like at some point we've just got to

1782
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 2: turn around and say, hey, this team, especially when you've

1783
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 2: got a quarterback, Like this is just in every game.

1784
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 2: Now that being said, everybody's just please sit down, shut

1785
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 2: up in color in your books. If you're gonna tell

1786
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 2: me Jaden's gonna be the MVP, it never happens. Like

1787
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 2: there's only been one time a rookie has been the

1788
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 2: MVP of the NFL, and it was Jim Brown, Like

1789
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 2: we got to go all the way back to Jim like,

1790
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 2: he's not gonna be the MVP. So it's just and

1791
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean he shouldn't be. It just means the

1792
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,760
Speaker 2: voters never do that. So you know, if they never

1793
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 2: do that, I don't think they're gonna suddenly do that now.

1794
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 2: But more important than any of that, you're absolutely right

1795
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 2: that with the rest of the East being as weird

1796
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 2: as it is so far this year, why not Washington.

1797
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I hear you that the Cowboys are one

1798
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 2: dimensional and they're running game stinks, but also they only

1799
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 2: like Tony Poler was only good for sixty one yards again.

1800
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,440
Speaker 1: No, that's it right, he was. He was a compiler,

1801
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: like there was nothing quote special, because I mean a

1802
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 1: thousand yards is I mean over seventeen games that ain't much?

1803
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 2: Right, Well, and my god, I mean the offense only

1804
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 2: having CD Lamb. That's kind of what they were last year.

1805
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 2: It's just falling apart this year. And you know, finally

1806
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 2: it's almost like they find the tortoise and they they

1807
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 2: finally got caught up to in this and you know,

1808
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 2: so in the Eagles are so decimated by the Asuran.

1809
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 2: I don't even think we know right now if the

1810
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 2: Eagles are going to be any good because they just

1811
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 2: they haven't had the most important portions of their offense

1812
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 2: out on the field for any sustainable amount of time.

1813
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:15,879
Speaker 2: Now is that an excuse?

1814
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: No?

1815
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:18,600
Speaker 2: But is that context that we need to know for

1816
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 2: later in the season if we're trying to figure out

1817
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 2: how good Philly is. Yeah, so you know, why not

1818
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 2: Washington when the two favorites in the division just haven't

1819
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 2: put it together.

1820
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 1: No, it's it's a fun exercise. MVP odds. As we said,

1821
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes is in the lead. Plus two seventy five is

1822
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,680
Speaker 1: where he's at on most books. Josh Allen second at

1823
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 1: plus six hundred. But let's face it, look, if the

1824
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: Bills are any good, it's because he's wearing a superhero

1825
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 1: outfit or maybe a cape based on where they're at

1826
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 1: in terms of personnel. Let's let's just be honest with

1827
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 1: what we are here. Lamar Jackson third right behind him

1828
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: at plus six fifty, then CJ. Stroud, Jalen Daniels, certain

1829
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,320
Speaker 1: our Jad and Daniels at fifth right now at ten

1830
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: to one or eleven to one, just ahead of Sam

1831
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,759
Speaker 1: Darnold for anybody that really wants to throw some money

1832
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 1: against the wall again showing what we do with odds

1833
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: and early expectations and returns. But I mean, how many

1834
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: teams do you really say are great in the NFL

1835
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 1: right now? I don't know that there's Washington fits the

1836
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: bill as well as anybody, and you went through the

1837
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: near schedule, I think you keep going the rest of

1838
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 1: their schedule. I don't think there's a game on there

1839
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 1: that I just circle and say they obviously lose this,

1840
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 1: except for saying, Okay, it'll be a tough road game

1841
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 1: at Philadelphia or whatever. Otherwise in New Orleans has come

1842
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: back to Earth, Atlanta's on the schedule, You've got Tennessee

1843
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: on the schedule, go back to Pittsburgh. I mean, they're

1844
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: all winnable games in the current iteration of the squad,

1845
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 1: which I think is exciting also a reminder for a

1846
01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 1: guy like Cliff Kingsbury, because sometimes we want guys, you know,

1847
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: we want that head coach. I think some guys are

1848
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:06,680
Speaker 1: really good coordinators. And that's where where it goes back

1849
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: to Lincoln Riley. Uh, and then we we watch what

1850
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 1: they do, uh when when we're in the full head

1851
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: coach where maybe it doesn't quite work quite quite so.

1852
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 2: Well, well, that's why I think brilliantly several years ago,

1853
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 2: Dominque Foxworth did a piece for ESPN explaining why they

1854
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:28,680
Speaker 2: needed to start a scouting combine where coordinators showed how

1855
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:30,799
Speaker 2: they could handle being a head coach. It's a totally

1856
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 2: different job. Yeah, Like that's the the lost art in

1857
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 2: all of this is that it is a completely different

1858
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,920
Speaker 2: group of responsibilities. So you know, you earn it by

1859
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 2: being great at this. And it's like, oh, imagine just

1860
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 2: suddenly if you you know, you build cars, and then

1861
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,599
Speaker 2: somebody comes in and says, well, you build somebody built

1862
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:50,600
Speaker 2: so many great cars, We're now going to let you

1863
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 2: build this building. It's like, oh, it's totally different skill set.

1864
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's a different type of building. So we

1865
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 2: just forget that. And it's such an arbitrary crapshoot on

1866
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 2: which guys are gonna work and which guys weren't. You know,

1867
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 2: it's it's Robert Salid was supposed to be absolutely a surefire,

1868
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 2: can't miss head coaching prospect, and we saw how that

1869
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:10,840
Speaker 2: worked out.

1870
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:12,759
Speaker 1: Now, you asked who's good?

1871
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, it's a Fox Football Sunday on

1872
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Mike Carmen, Jason Fitz hanging out with you.

1873
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:21,799
Speaker 2: You asked who's good? I will quickly remind everybody twenty

1874
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 2: of the teams in the NFL right now, twenty out

1875
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 2: of thirty two are either five hundred or within one

1876
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 2: game of five hundred either way. Like eleven of the

1877
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 2: sixteen teams in the NFC are within one game of

1878
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 2: five hundred either way or five hundred. Like nobody has

1879
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 2: separated themselves. Like as bad as most of these teams are,

1880
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 2: as much as we can look at and say, oh

1881
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:44,519
Speaker 2: my god, the Bengals are what and for it's over

1882
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 2: for them? Is it? Because nobody's really separating themselves for

1883
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:52,560
Speaker 2: the most part. Kansas City, obviously is Kansas City, Minnesota

1884
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 2: has been great so far this year. They deserve a

1885
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 2: lot of credit for that. I think the Lions are

1886
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:00,799
Speaker 2: a really good football team. I think we can agree

1887
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: on those. I think the forty nine ers will get

1888
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 2: it right. But my god, I mean, I'm just looking

1889
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 2: across the board saying, if you had to bet your

1890
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 2: house on most of these teams, the answer would be no,

1891
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 2: thank you, I'll pass right.

1892
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans are four and one. Have you

1893
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 1: seen anything to say, Wow, this is a great special team. No,

1894
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 1: you got a special quarterback. You've got a really good talent.

1895
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 1: And Nico Collins, by the way, who's gonna miss at

1896
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 1: least the next four weeks, Right, Joe Mixon's gonna come back,

1897
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 1: and that certainly changes some things. He was felled and

1898
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 1: he made his feelings known this week. He was felding

1899
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:38,799
Speaker 1: in that game against the Bears on a hip drop tackle,

1900
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 1: which I don't think, God is nearly the coverage and

1901
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: outrage that it used to. Did we just kind of

1902
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: decide that that one goes to the wayside? Eh, Yeah,

1903
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 1: it's only Joe Mixon, and we don't like Joe Mixon.

1904
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 1: I get it. Joe Mixon did some terrible things. He's

1905
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,840
Speaker 1: still a guy on the field. The selective outrage is

1906
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,640
Speaker 1: always kind of funny to me, Jason.

1907
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 2: But selective outrage was in my mind if you just

1908
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 2: said that, go ahead.

1909
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where we're at, right, Like for some guys, man,

1910
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 1: how many other people have been concussed or had issues?

1911
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:09,680
Speaker 1: I like that there was at least a spotlight a

1912
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,839
Speaker 1: little on the Josh Allen thing, but outside of twatungua Iiloa,

1913
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 1: and we really covered how many other concussions and issues

1914
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: guys have been having. I'm not even talking about Molik

1915
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 1: neighbors going to a Travis Scott concert or a strip club.

1916
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:27,600
Speaker 1: While in concussion protocol, Brian Dable looked thrilled to have

1917
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 1: to answer those questions ahead of a game against Cincinnati.

1918
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: But all of that to say, like we pick and

1919
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:36,680
Speaker 1: choose as we go forward, but you know, trying to

1920
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:38,760
Speaker 1: figure out what's great. I mean, and this is what

1921
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: the NFL wants, right, and they want parody, They want

1922
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:44,320
Speaker 1: excitement week to week. So when we get into December

1923
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 1: and we do all the flexing out of games, all

1924
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 1: of them have consequence. But the Chiefs are five and zero.

1925
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 1: We trust the organization, right, It's the old Philadelphia seventy

1926
01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: six ers trust the process kind of thing. We trust

1927
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:02,440
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, we trust Patrick Homes. Are they a great team,

1928
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 1: great culture? But are they going to blow anybody out?

1929
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, if I guess you're saying, if I can

1930
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 1: keep it in a within a possession game, then yeah,

1931
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take and back all of the Patrick Mahomes

1932
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 1: money up vikings. Are we are we sure Sam Darnold

1933
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:21,600
Speaker 1: is going to be able to lead you where you

1934
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,240
Speaker 1: need to go? No, but I'm intrigued, right, Color me

1935
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,760
Speaker 1: intrigued as they battle the Lions for the top of

1936
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 1: that division. Like all the way through, there's just been

1937
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 1: an uneven start to the season, which which is good theater, right.

1938
01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 1: Part of it is the preseason. Part of it is

1939
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:40,599
Speaker 1: changeover and coaching staffs and coordinators and philosophies and whatever else.

1940
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 1: And part of it is that I think more and

1941
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 1: more teams with the seventeenth game at least start the

1942
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 1: season to where it looks like well, Week one and

1943
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 1: two are kind of just an extended preseason because these

1944
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 1: guys are finally on the field working with each other.

1945
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,880
Speaker 1: So it leads to some sloppiness early on, and they

1946
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 1: all count just the same. As I'd like to remind folks,

1947
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:03,240
Speaker 1: win September. While it may not count as much as

1948
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 1: we yell into a microphone as one at the beginning

1949
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: of December, in the end, it's one of whatever your

1950
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:09,559
Speaker 1: total is.

1951
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 2: You said earlier, the Chiefs. You know they're not a

1952
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 2: great team. I think we all agree on that. The

1953
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,600
Speaker 2: problem is they're only in close games. And that's a

1954
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 2: problem because if you look at Patrick Mahomes's uncanny record

1955
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,240
Speaker 2: in close games, you realize that they're never gonna blow

1956
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 2: you out. You're never gonna blow them out. So now

1957
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 2: you have to beat the best head coach, the best

1958
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 2: defensive coordinated, the best GM, and the best quarterback all

1959
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:33,439
Speaker 2: on the same team in a close game, and that

1960
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 2: just doesn't happen. There's one team today that I think

1961
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,680
Speaker 2: is absolutely Upper Creek, and when they lose, it's going

1962
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 2: to be an indication of why they are Upper Creek

1963
01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 2: for years to come. We'll tell you about it next

1964

Speaker 2: part of what Shay our producer extraordinaire does. He also

1974
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:18,760
Speaker 2: taunts me with pictures of donuts on social media. Is

1975
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 2: he now tweeted out the donuts spread that you guys

1976
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 2: got a lot of respect for this, but I don't

1977
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 2: see gentlemen in the picture there. I don't think I

1978
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 2: see a good quality cake donut, and I'm more of

1979
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 2: a cake donut, so harmon. I don't know which way

1980
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:35,240
Speaker 2: you've gone with this, but I don't see any sort

1981
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 2: of a cake donut there, and that makes me a

1982
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 2: little disappointed.

1983
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:41,559
Speaker 4: We actually we opted to go with a cronut instead

1984
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 4: of a cake donut, so I don't know if you're familiar.

1985
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm familiar with cronuts, guys, like I was a fat

1986
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 2: kid growing up to play the violin. There's nothing I

1987
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 2: don't know about donuts. Let's go crona I'm very familiar

1988
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 2: with the cronut, but like again, look, this is why objectively,

1989
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:01,839
Speaker 2: by the way, about to make a lot of America

1990
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:05,200
Speaker 2: mad unless they sponsor this show Krispy Kremer trash right like,

1991
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 2: because I just don't like yeast donuts that like, and

1992
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 2: I don't want my donuts hot like. I don't want

1993
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 2: to melt in my mouth donut like I want. I

1994
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:14,680
Speaker 2: want a cake donut that feels like I'm eating a

1995
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 2: little piece of cake.

1996
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 3: Like.

1997
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 2: I want a double chocolate cake donut or any sort

1998
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:21,520
Speaker 2: of They give me some of an old fashioned cake donut,

1999
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:24,519
Speaker 2: you know, just has to be cake. Though. The number

2000
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 2: of mistakes made in this box, I just where's the

2001
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 2: full diversity and representation in donut quality.

2002
01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 1: I feel like we have a video that we need

2003
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 1: to make where you start going on a John Madden

2004
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: like rantom, boom over there, look at what that's kind

2005
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 1: of donut? What is this? What's this doing in the box?

2006
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: This doesn't even need to be here? And where did

2007
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: that come from?

2008
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 2: Boom? That looks like when I go viral with this,

2009
01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 2: it's gonna be this is gonna be electric because you know,

2010
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 2: for anyone that doesn't know, when I was a kid,

2011
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 2: the reason I do what I do is because of

2012
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 2: my love of the Raiders. I make no bones about that.

2013
01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:59,400
Speaker 2: When I was a kid playing the violin, the one

2014
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 2: day that I didn't practice with Sundays because my dad

2015
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 2: always said, my dad's a big Raiders fan, and he said,

2016
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:06,479
Speaker 2: I don't want to listen to a cat die while

2017
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,760
Speaker 2: I watched the Raiders game. So no violin practice during

2018
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:09,520
Speaker 2: the Raiders.

2019
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:11,719
Speaker 1: Games, although it would have been appropriate for many a year.

2020
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, my whole life.

2021
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 1: But oh I was trying to be kind. Thank you

2022
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 1: did have that rich Gannon run.

2023
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're right. Three good years and there I forgot,

2024
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 2: you know, thanks Tony Sarahgus, thanks to tuck rule and

2025
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 2: thanks an idiot head coach that I got no Super

2026
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 2: Bowls out of that, But I digress. Dad used to

2027
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 2: go get twelve a dozen double chocolate donuts, so like

2028
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 2: you're dunkin donut, chocolate cake donut with the chocolate frosting

2029
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,599
Speaker 2: on top, and we would eat a dozen donuts during

2030
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 2: the Raiders game. So when I was on the road

2031
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 2: with the Van Parry, every Sunday that we were on

2032
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 2: the road, I would find a local donut place and

2033
01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 2: I would get a dozen double chocolate donuts and eat

2034
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:54,439
Speaker 2: those every Sunday and eat twelve donuts during the Raiders game. Now,

2035
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm a beacon of fitness in the world, so I

2036
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 2: usually try to go to the gym before the game

2037
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 2: and get you know, my workout, and I'm eating healthy food.

2038
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 2: And I found that, you know, the donuts made me

2039
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,680
Speaker 2: feel better during the losses. So yeah, I like the

2040
01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 2: idea of going viral with the John Madden breakdown of

2041
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 2: the proper donut box.

2042
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:12,400
Speaker 1: Though well, I mean, I just feel shamed though that

2043
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:17,439
Speaker 1: not only did I eat a donut two that they

2044
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 1: weren't even of the quality of donut that are up

2045
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 1: the snuff for you. So I feel like doubly shamed.

2046
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 2: No you, I mean you got they look good. They

2047
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 2: look good. They look good, they just aren't, aren't cakey. Also,

2048
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 2: just because I was looking at social media, shout out

2049
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,360
Speaker 2: to pet Joe Kiss, who says not one word about

2050
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Guardians since I got up on Fox Sports

2051
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 2: Radio with a bunch of exclamation points. Yeah, Pet, I'm

2052
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 2: just going to tell you this right out of the gate.

2053
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:46,680
Speaker 2: You're right, We're probably also not going to break down

2054
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:49,760
Speaker 2: the w NBA Game two of the Finals today, which

2055
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:53,760
Speaker 2: I'll watch and I'm excited for WWNBA. Game one was spectacular.

2056
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:56,800
Speaker 2: It's a Fox Football Sunday and I hate to be

2057
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 2: the one to break it to your baseball guys, but

2058
01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:00,120
Speaker 2: like nobody really cares.

2059
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:02,600
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, I'm excited about it.

2060
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 2: Right.

2061
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 1: We're here in Los Angeles, right, so Dodgers Mets, and

2062
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 1: certainly on my radar, I ad a heightened sense because

2063
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: I'm already getting texts from my lunatic partners from the

2064
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 1: week of It's game day. So game one later on

2065
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:22,320
Speaker 1: of the NLCS, and congratulations to the Guardians. They got

2066
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: over on schoolble Right. It's where you get greedy with

2067
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: the starting pitching where he's not right one hundred percent

2068
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,600
Speaker 1: what he is and you get burned. Gives up the

2069
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 1: big home run and that's the end. Seven to three. Congratulations.

2070
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Now we have Guardians going up and getting it. Still

2071
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 1: does not roll off the tongue, by the way it fits,

2072
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:45,799
Speaker 1: It really does not. We have Cleveland going up against

2073
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 1: and look, Cleveland needs everything to cheer about, given what's

2074
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 1: going on with their football team. To bring it back

2075
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 1: to you know, some of the miserable franchises here in

2076
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but against the Yankees. So a lot

2077
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: of folks doing the Look the three hundred million dollars

2078
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 1: pay rolls against the Guardian, Like you could spend money too.

2079
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: Shut up, god, I love that.

2080
01:41:08,200 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 2: Like it's like college football when people say we can't compete,

2081
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:12,880
Speaker 2: they can't. You just got to have the money.

2082
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 1: Just got change. You just got to change the rule,

2083
01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, change how you're doing business. Right, the rules

2084
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: of the game have changed. Let's play along.

2085
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 2: Imagine if I told every single person involved in whatever

2086
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 2: you do. You you make cars, you make music, you

2087
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 2: you have you have a sports franchise. All you have

2088
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:32,840
Speaker 2: to do is spend the most money and you can

2089
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 2: win as much as you want. Like that's the wild

2090
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 2: wild West of Major League Baseball. That's a wild wild

2091
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:39,639
Speaker 2: West to college football right now. Like all you gotta

2092
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,040
Speaker 2: do is raise and spend the most money if you want.

2093
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 2: You know, as a kid from Vegas, I always look

2094
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 2: at UNLV and I think, you know what, I cannot

2095
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 2: believe that UNLV hasn't put together the largest collective of

2096
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 2: casino money we've ever seen just to make UNLV great

2097
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 2: it whatever sport they want to be, well.

2098
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:55,680
Speaker 1: Look at that what they tried to do for the kid,

2099
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 1: and there was Dad, No.

2100
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:02,000
Speaker 2: No, it's it's as Wild Guardians fans. You deserve hope though,

2101
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 2: because you're not getting a lot of hope from your

2102
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:07,640
Speaker 2: football team today. I'll break down why, but first we

2103
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:09,839
Speaker 2: got to get an update on what is trending?

2104
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: What up, Kevin, Yeah, we got some NFL injury updates

2105
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 1: for you, as Ian Rappaport with several updates. We're about,

2106
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, an hour or so away from kicking off

2107
01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: the London game between the Jaguars and the Bears. Rapperpart

2108
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 1: did say that Gave Davis and Evan Ingram were expected

2109
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 1: to play. They are now officially listed as active for

2110
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 1: the London game. Jaguars and Bear set to kick off

2111
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 1: at nine to thirty Eastern time. Rappaport also saying that

2112
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:43,679
Speaker 1: Colds quarterback Anthony Richardson listed as questionable with his oblique injury,

2113
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:45,760
Speaker 1: but he did have a good week of practice and

2114
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,759
Speaker 1: very well could play if he has a solid pre

2115
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 1: game work out. And there's also a good chance that

2116
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior and Josh Downs could be on the

2117
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:59,400
Speaker 1: field today as well. Raiders running backs a Mere white

2118
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:01,840
Speaker 1: Is was back at practice on Friday, but is still

2119
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:05,679
Speaker 1: considered a long shot to play, and they have already

2120
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:10,759
Speaker 1: downgraded wide receiver Jacoby Myers to doubtful with his ankle injury.

2121
01:43:12,920 --> 01:43:16,720
Speaker 1: Panthers wide receiver Deyonce Johnson expected to be able to

2122
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 1: play today, he's dealing with an ankle injury. Joe Mixon

2123
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 1: back in the lineup after missing the past few games

2124
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:25,680
Speaker 1: with a high ankle sprain, and Ravens corner Marlon Humphrey

2125
01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:28,599
Speaker 1: was limited with an ankle injury but is expected to

2126
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 1: be on the field today, But the Cardinals unlikely to

2127
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 1: have their kicker, Matt Prater. He is questionable with a

2128
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:38,960
Speaker 1: knee injury, and practice squad kicker Chad Ryland has already

2129
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: been elevated to the act roster in case the Cardinals

2130
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:46,679
Speaker 1: do need him to kick. In college football, we did

2131
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 1: have a few big games in the top ten. Number

2132
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 1: two Ohio State number three Oregon arguably the game of

2133
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 1: the year, and it lived up to the hype as

2134
01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 1: the Ducks stopping the buck guys as time expired and

2135
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: they hold on for the thirty two to thirty one

2136
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:03,759
Speaker 1: win to move to six and OH on the season.

2137
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:07,400
Speaker 1: Three and oh in their first Big ten campaign and

2138
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:10,720
Speaker 1: Number one Texas rolls over Oklahoma thirty four to three

2139
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 1: and impressive win for the Longhorn sol We'll see exactly

2140
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:16,240
Speaker 1: who's going to be the number one team in the country,

2141
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: as each team certainly has a case for the top

2142
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 1: spot in the next rankings. Number four Penn State was

2143
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 1: trailing Big the USC two touchdowns at halftime, but they

2144
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 1: outscore the Trojans twenty seven to ten in the second

2145
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,719
Speaker 1: half plus overtime to win it in overtime thirty three

2146
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: to thirty. Number five George over Mississippi State forty one

2147
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 1: thirty one. Number seven Alabama hangs on for dear life

2148
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 1: against South Carolina twenty seven to twenty five. Number eight

2149
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee beat Florida and overtime twenty three seventeen and Number

2150
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 1: thirteen LSU did not leave until the last play of overtime,

2151
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 1: but they get the win over Number nine Ole miss

2152
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:57,639
Speaker 1: in overtime twenty nine to twenty six. Back to you, guys, He's.

2153
01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 2: Mike Carmen, I'm Jason Fitz. It's a Fox Football Sunday,

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Follow us on social media at Swollen

2155

Speaker 2: Dome at Jason Fitz coming at you from the ti

2156
01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:09,240
Speaker 2: Raq dot Com studios Harmon. My mom used to always

2157
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 2: say people in hell on ice water, and it was

2158
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:13,679
Speaker 2: her way of saying, you know what, you can want,

2159
01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 2: what you want all day long, you ain't gonna get it.

2160
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:18,240
Speaker 2: Life is not fair. And my buddy used to always say,

2161
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:20,400
Speaker 2: fairs where a pig gets a ribbon. We got to

2162
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:24,599
Speaker 2: understand some of that. When we talk about you can

2163
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 2: feel free to steal. That's just southernism. We talk about

2164
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 2: that a lot when it comes to sports. Because right now,

2165
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,760
Speaker 2: I just mentioned Guardians fans have something to be happy about.

2166
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 2: Brown's fans don't, And I know everybody wants to sit

2167
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 2: here and say the same thing I've said it too,

2168
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:42,439
Speaker 2: that it is time to move on from Deshaun Watson.

2169
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 2: We also know that it is basically financially impossible for

2170
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 2: that to happen. But the biggest part of this, I

2171
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 2: don't think we're talking about enough, is that, frankly, as

2172
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 2: much as you know that Deshaun Watson can't play, as

2173
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 2: much as I know that Deshaun Watson can no longer play,

2174
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 2: as much as I think most of us believe Jameis

2175
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 2: Winston would be better today as a starting quarterback. As

2176
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 2: bad as some of the things are for Cleveland on

2177
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 2: offense other than just a quarterback position, the one thing

2178
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 2: we're not factoring enough is that the ownership group does

2179
01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 2: not want to make a change. And I've talked to

2180
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 2: a couple of the insiders, including a great Charles Robinson

2181
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 2: at YAH who sports We do a podcast there together

2182
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 2: on the NFL, and he made it clear that nobody

2183
01:46:20,439 --> 01:46:23,280
Speaker 2: in the organization is going to be able to bench

2184
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 2: to Sean Watson because that is not what ownership wants.

2185
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 2: And so today, as we look at the Browns taking

2186
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,799
Speaker 2: on the Eagles, I just keep sitting here thinking about

2187
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 2: we can yell into a mic and we could say

2188
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 2: you gotta get rid of the guy. He can't play anymore.

2189
01:46:36,240 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 2: He's got the yips, he's trash, he's no good. What's

2190
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:40,960
Speaker 2: it matter if the owner is not going to make

2191
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:44,679
Speaker 2: a change, and if financially there isn't an easy change

2192
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:47,639
Speaker 2: he can be made anytime in the foreseeable future. I think,

2193
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:50,720
Speaker 2: as hard as this usually is to say in the NFL,

2194
01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 2: it is actually right to say today that the Browns

2195
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 2: are screwed, not just today, not just this week, not

2196
01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:00,479
Speaker 2: just this year, not just next year, but the year

2197
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 2: after it is going to take a full two and

2198
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 2: a half years of football to get through the disaster

2199
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 2: that has become Deshaun Watson.

2200
01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the difficult part of it, right the

2201
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 1: economic terms, as we're talking about building widgets or cars

2202
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:18,639
Speaker 1: or whatever else, you know, we get into the idea

2203
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:22,360
Speaker 1: of sunk costs whatever it is. It could be durable goods,

2204
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:24,640
Speaker 1: it could be you know, something you made of a

2205
01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 1: purchase on, could be a relationship, whatever. You know, the

2206
01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 1: time and money that you've invested in something doesn't matter

2207
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:35,600
Speaker 1: in the moment. And that's where you have the disconnect

2208
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 1: between us on the outside looking in and whatever ownership management,

2209
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 1: whatever thinks of the deal they made with Deshaun Watson,

2210
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:47,720
Speaker 1: if they're willing to just keep forcing it out there

2211
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 1: and right now, would you believe that the reigning coach

2212
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: of the year is the third most likely to be

2213
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:59,600
Speaker 1: the next guy fired. Yeah, that's right, You've got Stefanski

2214
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: is only plus six hundred to be the next coach

2215
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: fired in the National Football League. After the year that

2216
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: they had last year, and obviously a lot of talk

2217
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 1: of hey, why didn't they keep Joe Flacco whatever else?

2218
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:14,000
Speaker 1: Well clear they didn't want him in the room, whether

2219
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 1: it was Deshaun Watson or it was ownership thinking that

2220
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 1: his presence would not be helpful. They moved on from it.

2221
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:24,880
Speaker 1: This is what you got to work with. And as

2222
01:48:24,960 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: long as they're not getting the code read from upstairs

2223
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:31,760
Speaker 1: to bench him, they're just gonna keep spending the bad

2224
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: money regardless. Now it's just a question of whether they

2225
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 1: want to put out the bad product as well, And

2226
01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:39,360
Speaker 1: at least to this point, it looks like Haslam and

2227
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:41,720
Speaker 1: the ownership they're more than happy to continue to do that,

2228
01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 1: and they're hamstringing Stefanski in the process. Hasn't helped that.

2229
01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb hasn't gotten back to for him just yet

2230
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 1: and hasn't been available, and he won't be back this

2231
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 1: week either. Jerome Ford serviceable a time, but your receiving

2232
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 1: corps hasn't been up to snuff. Go all the way down.

2233
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:00,720
Speaker 1: But it all begins and ends with quarterback play, the

2234
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:03,800
Speaker 1: number of sacks he takes, the bad decisions, all of that.

2235
01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 1: But it's a sunk cost and someone should start sending

2236
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 1: I used the Shawshank reference earlier. Let's build a library.

2237
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:16,000
Speaker 1: Everybody send Jimmy Haslam a letter a day or two

2238
01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:19,160
Speaker 1: letters a day, and maybe you can get your change.

2239
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: But until that happens and you change his mind and

2240
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:25,800
Speaker 1: his heart, you're just shouting into the wind. You're don

2241
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 1: Quixote to leave no literary or film reference stone unturned.

2242
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 2: The funny thing about that is that you're watching a team,

2243
01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:40,600
Speaker 2: and whether this is because of Deshaun or just the

2244
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:43,720
Speaker 2: ancillary side effect of all of it, you're watching a

2245
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 2: team where almost everybody has suddenly started playing their worst. Right,

2246
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 2: we know how good the best of Amari Cooper can be,

2247
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 2: but we also know how maddeningly inconsistent Amari can be.

2248
01:49:56,200 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 2: And I talked to a former coach that worked with

2249
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:02,240
Speaker 2: him extensively, and I asked him years ago, Hey, why

2250
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 2: the inconsistency with Themari and the coach I'll never forget

2251
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:06,800
Speaker 2: laughed at me and said, if I knew that, I'd

2252
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:07,840
Speaker 2: probably still have my job.

2253
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 1: And he's gradual response.

2254
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:12,840
Speaker 2: To the fact that you know, week in and week

2255
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 2: out they didn't know that you could get whether it

2256
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 2: was somebody said something to him, or looked at him

2257
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 2: some kind of way in the locker room, or did

2258
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:22,559
Speaker 2: something they were just weeks he was checked out, and

2259
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 2: you see some of that now, and you've got you know,

2260
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 2: the most inconsistent of Jerry Judy, You've got no Nick Chubb,

2261
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 2: You've got an offensive line that has just fallen apart

2262
01:50:32,040 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 2: in front of Deshaun Watson, and you have a quarterback

2263
01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:36,679
Speaker 2: that just kind of feels like he's got the yips right,

2264
01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 2: And so how do you fix all of that at once?

2265
01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:43,240
Speaker 2: You don't. And you mentioned Stefanski getting fired. I know

2266
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 2: that we're not going to see Kevin Stefanski walk away

2267
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:49,160
Speaker 2: from a job, but man, I'd be tempted to if

2268
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 2: if as people are giving indication the ownership group is saying, hey,

2269
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:56,919
Speaker 2: I don't care what you think, Deshaun is our starting quarterback.

2270
01:50:57,280 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 2: The one thing we have to remember is that you

2271
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:02,479
Speaker 2: don't be caught the owner of an NFL team without

2272
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 2: being a billionaire. And if in my life experience, you

2273
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 2: do not become wildly rich without some level of ego

2274
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 2: attached to it. Of course, so now you're asking a billionaire,

2275
01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 2: like one of the one percent of the one percent

2276
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 2: of the one percent that has so much money that

2277
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:23,200
Speaker 2: they can spend their fun money, multiple billions of dollars

2278
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 2: their fun money just overhere on an NFL team, and

2279
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:30,479
Speaker 2: you want that person to suddenly swallow their pride, swallow

2280
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:33,880
Speaker 2: their ego, acknowledge that they've written hundreds of millions of

2281
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 2: dollars a bad checks and say, my bad. I just

2282
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:40,599
Speaker 2: I understand, and I believe in sunken cost theory. I'm

2283
01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:43,559
Speaker 2: not sure that I believe the human element of ego

2284
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 2: from a billionaire will allow the billionaire to accept that theory.

2285
01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 2: It's much easier to simply say, hey, got to be

2286
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:52,000
Speaker 2: the coach, you lost the locker room than it is

2287
01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:53,799
Speaker 2: to look in the mirror and be like, oh, man,

2288
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 2: did I pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the

2289
01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 2: wrong guy and hamstring my entire organization for the next

2290
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:01,680
Speaker 2: five years? Because that's what the Haslums.

2291
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:03,519
Speaker 1: Did well to punctuate it. I mean, it might be

2292
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 1: the only contract I recall in NFL history where you

2293
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 1: actually had other teams, owners gms comment on it as

2294
01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:14,679
Speaker 1: to its setting a bad precedent, as to it being

2295
01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:17,160
Speaker 1: bad for the league. Now, part of it was Little

2296
01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 1: Gamesman shipped on Baltimore's end because they had to deal

2297
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:24,280
Speaker 1: with paying Lamar Jackson. But you saw several other owners

2298
01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 1: and GMS just say, I don't know if this is

2299
01:52:26,280 --> 01:52:29,439
Speaker 1: the trend that we want to go down. And it

2300
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 1: wasn't even dealing with any of what Deshaun Watson's contract

2301
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:36,800
Speaker 1: would later be dealing with, right because at least for

2302
01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:40,719
Speaker 1: the moment, they've resolved all legal issues. But that doesn't

2303
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:43,559
Speaker 1: mean that's still not swirling around there. And I go

2304
01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:47,799
Speaker 1: from the banshees in this year and you didn't say nothing,

2305
01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 1: you didn't do nothing. I just don't like you no more.

2306
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 1: That might just be Amari Cooper and some of the

2307
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:55,640
Speaker 1: teammates and coaches that he's dealt with.

2308
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:59,800
Speaker 2: It's it's hard because there's no fix for it. I'm sorry,

2309
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:03,240
Speaker 2: Eveland fans, and to me yelling you need to bench him,

2310
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 2: he needs to get out of there. Is a little

2311
01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 2: like somebody coming in and trying to make up an

2312
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 2: imaginary NBA trade with no conversation about what it means

2313
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:12,960
Speaker 2: for the salary. Can trade this bum to get this

2314
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,480
Speaker 2: bumb And it's like, hey, you know that it's really complicated.

2315
01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:18,679
Speaker 2: And that's the hardest part about this for Browns fans.

2316
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:21,920
Speaker 2: The result on the field is not complicated. Everything else

2317
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 2: that happens off the field with it is wildly complicated.

2318
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, go guardians.

2319
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how we put go guardians. There's your distraction

2320
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 2: that you need. Speaking a complicated. There were some results

2321
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,720
Speaker 2: yesterday in college football that made the landscape more complicated

2322
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:38,639
Speaker 2: than we thought it would be. I'll explain what I mean.

2323
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:41,920
Speaker 2: Next to Fox Football Sunday, He's Mark Harmon. I'm Jason

2328
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,040
Speaker 2: We'll get back to the NFL in the second Harmon.

2329
01:53:58,200 --> 01:54:01,040
Speaker 2: But I kept talking about last night, and I keep

2330
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:05,320
Speaker 2: thinking about my phone yesterday, right Like, nobody texted me

2331
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:08,160
Speaker 2: you up, Nobody text me like, hey, what's going on?

2332
01:54:08,200 --> 01:54:11,519
Speaker 2: You want to party tonight? No on Saturdays. This is

2333
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:13,519
Speaker 2: life when you do what we do. My phone is

2334
01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:15,760
Speaker 2: not blowing up with any fun exciting. You want to

2335
01:54:15,800 --> 01:54:18,679
Speaker 2: go on a rager, Let's have a bender. I'm sober

2336
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 2: right now anyway, so it wouldn't matter.

2337
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:22,719
Speaker 1: You want to go sing some karaoke? God, Yeah, nobody's

2338
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 1: hit me up figuring it out.

2339
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:25,479
Speaker 2: If I want to go to the Butterfly in West

2340
01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 2: Harford and sing karaoke on a Saturday night.

2341
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:27,560
Speaker 4: No.

2342
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:30,759
Speaker 2: I get blown up all day every day with the

2343
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 2: thoughts on Saturday, particularly about college football. And it hit

2344
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 2: me yesterday because at one point my buddy Steve text

2345
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:40,839
Speaker 2: me he said Alabama is not a top ten team.

2346
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 2: There's no way. As Alabama was struggling to try and

2347
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:47,320
Speaker 2: find their way to a victory yesterday. Later in the day,

2348
01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:50,800
Speaker 2: another buddy text me says, there is no way Tennessee

2349
01:54:50,960 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 2: is a top ten team.

2350
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:53,040
Speaker 1: Take them all out.

2351
01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 2: Later in the night, I get Penn State can't really

2352
01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 2: be number four, can they? I'm looking around at I

2353
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:02,959
Speaker 2: think what we really yesterday is there are three really

2354
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:07,839
Speaker 2: really bankable teams right now in college football Texas, Oregon

2355
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 2: and Ohio State. Even in a loss, I will still give

2356
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:14,240
Speaker 2: Ohio State that credit. After that, the second class whatever

2357
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 2: we want to call that. Like the next grouping of teams,

2358
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:22,320
Speaker 2: Penn State, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama keep going down the list.

2359
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm not sure any of them have really shown that

2360
01:55:25,160 --> 01:55:27,840
Speaker 2: they're great. But the problem is, I believe if I

2361
01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:30,480
Speaker 2: had to on a neutral field right now, bet my

2362
01:55:30,560 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 2: house on any of them against let's say Iowa State,

2363
01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:35,680
Speaker 2: a team that's you know, eleven twelfth in the rankings.

2364
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:38,200
Speaker 2: I would still take all of the teams I just mentioned.

2365
01:55:38,240 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 2: So do they look like what we think of as

2366
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 2: number four five six seven teams?

2367
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:43,160
Speaker 3: No?

2368
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,720
Speaker 2: But are they probably number four five sixty seven teams? Yes?

2369
01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 2: Two things both feel like they're true at once.

2370
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we get into the muddled masses and

2371
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:55,080
Speaker 1: the old Caliperi line to steal from college buckets, the

2372
01:55:55,320 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 1: succeed and proceed ubi who's on the schedule. They all

2373
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 1: count just the same style points are not supposed to.

2374
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're at least not necessarily the same in

2375
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:10,160
Speaker 1: terms of coefficients in that algorithm. Right, once upon a time,

2376
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,120
Speaker 1: it was all right, we've got to impress the polsters,

2377
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:14,240
Speaker 1: run it up by forty, and if we don't, we're

2378
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:16,800
Speaker 1: probably gonna get screwed. Now, you just win, and certainly

2379
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,760
Speaker 1: with a twelve team playoff, you know, just giving yourself

2380
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:22,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity to play. But I think you're absolutely right.

2381
01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:24,800
Speaker 1: You got three teams that are head and shoulders. You

2382
01:56:24,880 --> 01:56:27,080
Speaker 1: got a bunch of question marks. While we're on the

2383
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: college football subject. I think we'll do a chunk of

2384
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: NFL and maybe some more Guardian stock. Next hour is

2385
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:38,400
Speaker 1: the the I don't. I mean that with all love

2386
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 1: to our friends that are on Twitter. That's like, I

2387
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:47,520
Speaker 1: love baseball. It's a football morning. Should Kirby Smart be

2388
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:54,600
Speaker 1: suspended for the push of the opponent quarterback?

2389
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean I'd be okay with it.

2390
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean, just like legitimately, and I've got, you know,

2391
01:57:01,240 --> 01:57:03,520
Speaker 1: forgive the pond dog in the fight.

2392
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:06,879
Speaker 2: But I really wanted you to bark when you said.

2393
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 1: Well I could. Yeah, there you go cott in print,

2394
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:15,640
Speaker 1: but the you know, the shoveling, and you might be

2395
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,600
Speaker 1: without your coach if they really want to adjudicate this properly.

2396
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, to your point, I mean, Miami, we've watched

2397
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 1: a couple of narrow escapes, and maybe the beneficiaries of

2398
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of of officiating help every once in

2399
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,120
Speaker 1: a while. But that's what it takes to get through

2400
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:34,840
Speaker 1: the slog of what is. And I think, as much

2401
01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:37,440
Speaker 1: as we may not want to admit it, aren't we

2402
01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of excited that it kind of looks like the

2403
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:43,640
Speaker 1: NFL a little bit more in parody, right, We like

2404
01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 1: dominant teams until we don't.

2405
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:45,600
Speaker 2: Right.

2406
01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:47,600
Speaker 1: We love the Warriors for about a year and a half,

2407
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:51,160
Speaker 1: and then we got tired of the only dynastic run

2408
01:57:51,200 --> 01:57:54,160
Speaker 1: we've had where people didn't get mad and upset unless

2409
01:57:54,200 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 1: you were in the city. Getting vanquished was going back

2410
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:59,760
Speaker 1: to Jordan's bulls. Otherwise we get mad really fast and

2411
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 1: we want the next thing to pop up and vanquish them.

2412
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:06,600
Speaker 1: College football, Yeah, it's a lot of the usual suspects,

2413
01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 1: but it's a lot crowded, a more crowded a playing

2414
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:11,920
Speaker 1: field where every Saturday and we at least have a

2415
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 1: couple of head scratchers or you getting your phone blown up,

2416
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:17,320
Speaker 1: which is why you got to have the unlimited you

2417
01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 1: know text buddy.

2418
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's I'm old enough to remember when

2419
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:25,920
Speaker 2: we had to manage our minutes. Yeah, I'm rewatching Shameless

2420
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 2: right now, and it's so funny watching the family split

2421
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:31,000
Speaker 2: the minutes on one cell phone. In season one, they're like,

2422
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:32,960
Speaker 2: who gets the cell phone today? We got to watch

2423
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 2: our minute track. Oh oh kids, let me tell you

2424
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:38,680
Speaker 2: what society is going to be like in a few years.

2425
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:41,520
Speaker 1: Said Bill Macy. Yeah.

2426
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's amazing how dark that that show.

2427
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:46,240
Speaker 1: Is next level stuff.

2428
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. But you're right. I think

2429
01:58:49,320 --> 01:58:50,960
Speaker 2: what all of this tells us, by the way, is

2430
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,160
Speaker 2: that the first couple of rounds of college football playoff

2431
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:54,880
Speaker 2: games is going to be electric. We're still only going

2432
01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 2: to have by that time, we'll have a predictable who

2433
01:58:57,760 --> 01:59:00,840
Speaker 2: are the three or four best teams? But man, I'm

2434
01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:03,360
Speaker 2: not I can't tell you today definitively the Poise State

2435
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:06,000
Speaker 2: doesn't belong or that Army doesn't belong with any of

2436
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 2: these teams, because who the heck knows that? It's impossible

2437
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 2: right now to tell. What I can't tell you is

2438

02:01:06,160 --> 02:01:08,760
Speaker 1: Friday here Fox Sports Radio. I have a house divided.

2472
02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:09,240
Speaker 2: I have an.

2473
02:01:09,120 --> 02:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Executive producer who's a huge Dodger fan. And anybody who's

2474
02:01:13,240 --> 02:01:15,720
Speaker 1: heard a minute of Smith and I yelling at each

2475
02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:17,880
Speaker 1: other Jason Smith that how about a frescore? You find

2476
02:01:17,920 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 1: him on Twitter if you want to get after him

2477
02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:23,440
Speaker 1: about this series. You know he's a monster Mets fan

2478
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:25,960
Speaker 1: to where he still has a lot of that six

2479
02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 1: year old boy in him, and quite frankly fits I'm

2480
02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:35,320
Speaker 1: jealous of it. I'm jealous of it sometimes Sometimes sometimes

2481
02:01:35,320 --> 02:01:37,920
Speaker 1: I just want to throttle him. But sometimes I'm jealous

2482
02:01:37,920 --> 02:01:39,720
Speaker 1: that that little boy can still be in there because

2483
02:01:39,880 --> 02:01:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't really have that same thing Outwardly. I may

2484
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:46,000
Speaker 1: feel to burn inside, but I don't rant and scream

2485
02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:46,640
Speaker 1: like an idiot.

2486
02:01:47,720 --> 02:01:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm jealousy. You like the one thing that I promised

2487
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:53,240
Speaker 2: myself when I got into this business full time in

2488
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:57,560
Speaker 2: what twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, was it. I wasn't going

2489
02:01:57,600 --> 02:01:59,800
Speaker 2: to lose the passion that made me want to switch

2490
02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:04,120
Speaker 2: in the first place. So I've always kept my over

2491
02:02:04,200 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 2: the top love of my beloved Raiders, Like I am

2492
02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:10,560
Speaker 2: that guy that just screams endlessly at the and I'm

2493
02:02:10,600 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 2: smart enough to know I shouldn't smart enough to know

2494
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 2: I shouldn't care, but I do, and it ruins. I'm

2495
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:19,480
Speaker 2: still at that spot where when the Raiders are inept,

2496
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:22,360
Speaker 2: which is most of my life, it ruins my Sunday.

2497
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:24,560
Speaker 2: And then Monday, I can't watch any cover. It's like,

2498
02:02:24,800 --> 02:02:27,360
Speaker 2: I'm lucky that Monday is technically my only day off

2499
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 2: for Yahoo, so I spend Monday rewatching games from Sunday

2500
02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:32,760
Speaker 2: that I felt like I should have paid more attention to,

2501
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:36,080
Speaker 2: watching some college football stuff. Like I'm like you, I

2502
02:02:36,160 --> 02:02:38,040
Speaker 2: like to get the consolid data games and then just

2503
02:02:38,440 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 2: do my work on Monday and that transfers into Tuesday morning.

2504
02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:44,240
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna be honest with you, a lot of

2505
02:02:44,240 --> 02:02:47,480
Speaker 2: that is just a sheer distraction from watching any TV

2506
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:49,960
Speaker 2: show that's going to remind me that my favorite team

2507
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:52,720
Speaker 2: is an abject disaster. And then Tuesday night, I get

2508
02:02:52,760 --> 02:02:55,400
Speaker 2: straight into work again as we start college football and

2509
02:02:55,480 --> 02:02:57,760
Speaker 2: NFL shows for the rest of the week. Like I'm

2510
02:02:57,800 --> 02:03:01,200
Speaker 2: not I'm not really over a loss on Sunday until

2511
02:03:01,280 --> 02:03:04,040
Speaker 2: usually Thursday afternoon, and then by Friday, I'm like, here

2512
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:06,280
Speaker 2: we go again. Just got to start bracing myself. Today.

2513
02:03:06,720 --> 02:03:09,200
Speaker 2: I will be on pins and needles at four o'clock

2514
02:03:09,240 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 2: when the Raiders play a meaningless game against the Steelers,

2515
02:03:11,680 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 2: and it will make me yell like it's just I

2516
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 2: wish I could shut that.

2517
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:18,960
Speaker 1: Portionally, well, it's the compartmentalization, because I think in our business,

2518
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:22,480
Speaker 1: when you say you're not a fan of a team,

2519
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:25,520
Speaker 1: I think it's disingenuous. There's still teams you followed as

2520
02:03:25,520 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 1: a kid that I get it. They may have moved

2521
02:03:29,160 --> 02:03:31,560
Speaker 1: to another city and broken your heart. Okay, maybe you

2522
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:35,520
Speaker 1: don't follow them. You probably adopted something else, either a

2523
02:03:35,520 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 1: coach or a player that you had in afinity for

2524
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we certainly see that. But anybody that goes

2525
02:03:40,440 --> 02:03:42,440
Speaker 1: and says, well, I gave up my fandom long ago,

2526
02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not saying that. I'm just saying I don't.

2527
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't let it consume me the way it used to,

2528
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:52,000
Speaker 1: because it was unhealthy. It really was. Because let's face it,

2529
02:03:52,040 --> 02:03:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm a Chicago sports fan except the Cubs. There's a

2530
02:03:55,680 --> 02:03:57,640
Speaker 1: lot of losing involved, right we had a nice run

2531
02:03:57,720 --> 02:04:00,200
Speaker 1: with the Blackhawks that seems like a lifetime ago. The

2532
02:04:00,240 --> 02:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Bulls come on. Nineteen ninety eight is forever ago. Half

2533
02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:08,120
Speaker 1: of our audience, maybe more so listening, weren't even born

2534
02:04:10,160 --> 02:04:13,800
Speaker 1: when Michael Jordan ruled the Earth. The Bears. I'm still

2535
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:16,160
Speaker 1: trading on eighty five. Don't get me wrong. I still

2536
02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:19,240
Speaker 1: enjoyed the Rex Grossman led Bears that lost to Peyton

2537
02:04:19,240 --> 02:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Manning in Miami, the game most remembered for Devin Haster's

2538
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:28,720
Speaker 1: kickoff return and Prince performing Purple Rain at halftime. You

2539
02:04:28,720 --> 02:04:30,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like the halftime show is really

2540
02:04:30,440 --> 02:04:32,520
Speaker 1: what you remember of that Super Bowl. It's not even

2541
02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:37,440
Speaker 1: that the Colts won. They're one with Peyton Manning there

2542
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:42,120
Speaker 1: because he'd em played particularly well. Like they did a

2543
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:45,680
Speaker 1: pretty good job defensively overall. So you know all that

2544
02:04:45,760 --> 02:04:47,400
Speaker 1: to say, you know, you still wear it And in

2545
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 1: a half hour I'll be screaming at the televisions here.

2546
02:04:50,040 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: I can't throw things because it's not my TV, so

2547
02:04:52,400 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 1: if it breaks, it'll come out of my paycheck and

2548
02:04:55,640 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 1: maybe I'll face some disciplinary action here from Fox Sports Radio.

2549
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:03,080
Speaker 1: But just I blame, just blame well, I could.

2550
02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:06,120
Speaker 2: Pretty sure short there sure word versus.

2551
02:05:06,040 --> 02:05:08,240
Speaker 1: You gotta have a fall guy. Yeah, but then I

2552
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:11,640
Speaker 1: gotta payoff Chris, I gotta payoff I low. I mean

2553
02:05:11,680 --> 02:05:13,960
Speaker 1: I did bring donuts, so there are donuts that they

2554
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:17,040
Speaker 1: can consume. But I mean that that's that's a very

2555
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:19,720
Speaker 1: cheap payoff. I gotta I gotta would think these are

2556
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 1: men with you know, if they are, their integrity is

2557
02:05:23,320 --> 02:05:28,839
Speaker 1: for sale. It costs more than a cheap donut. Isaac

2558
02:05:28,920 --> 02:05:31,400
Speaker 1: shaking his head, Gun, Nah, donut'll do it.

2559
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:33,920
Speaker 2: Remember, you don't have to You don't have to like

2560
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:35,879
Speaker 2: bid a ton of money. You just have to outbid

2561
02:05:35,920 --> 02:05:39,880
Speaker 2: Shae Like she's gonna be your competition. So like, all

2562
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:42,160
Speaker 2: you gotta do is outspend Shay on that. And if

2563
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,120
Speaker 2: if there's anything we learned, like Cha's over here debating

2564
02:05:45,120 --> 02:05:47,120
Speaker 2: whether or not he even wants to go to a

2565
02:05:47,160 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 2: you know, a playoff baseball game because he doesn't want

2566
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 2: to spend the Casha's a little cheap.

2567
02:05:51,520 --> 02:05:54,920
Speaker 1: Frugal, So frugal that's the good word. By the way.

2568
02:05:54,960 --> 02:05:57,879
Speaker 1: The other point to make for those that are unaware,

2569
02:05:58,440 --> 02:06:02,280
Speaker 1: free food in radio is the greatest currency you have.

2570
02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:05,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes may actually have a greater value than the paycheck

2571
02:06:05,880 --> 02:06:08,240
Speaker 1: that you receive every two weeks. And I don't mean

2572
02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 1: that literally but figuratively. Yeah, maybe literally. Sometimes we're here

2573
02:06:12,160 --> 02:06:14,360
Speaker 1: at the tire rack dot Com, Fox Sports Radio studios,

2574
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:16,320
Speaker 1: at Jason Fitz where you find him on Twitter, find

2575
02:06:16,320 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: me over at Swollen Home. But this Jacksonville and Bears game,

2576
02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:23,480
Speaker 1: Jacksonville now a slight favorite once again, and we talked

2577
02:06:23,480 --> 02:06:25,480
Speaker 1: about it a little bit earlier in the show, but hey,

2578
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:28,640
Speaker 1: the audience is always changing. And kickoff in twenty two

2579
02:06:28,640 --> 02:06:32,320
Speaker 1: minutes to get those fantasy lineup, pick sets, the pick

2580
02:06:32,400 --> 02:06:35,600
Speaker 1: six DraftKings, all of that stuff, get them in, get

2581
02:06:35,680 --> 02:06:37,520
Speaker 1: them on, get them over, get him in kind of thing.

2582
02:06:37,840 --> 02:06:41,000
Speaker 1: But for Caleb Williams, a big spotlight game, even if

2583
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:44,080
Speaker 1: it is early in the morning, a standalone game against

2584
02:06:44,120 --> 02:06:47,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville where we talked about it. Doug Peterson now the

2585
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:50,800
Speaker 1: favorite in the clubhouse to be the next coach fired,

2586
02:06:51,200 --> 02:06:55,400
Speaker 1: and we're still trying to figure out what Trevor Lawrence

2587
02:06:55,520 --> 02:06:57,720
Speaker 1: is at this point in his career. He's got his contract,

2588
02:06:57,760 --> 02:07:02,360
Speaker 1: so he's there and he's he makes some throws Jason

2589
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,520
Speaker 1: that you know watching him the last couple of weeks,

2590
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:08,120
Speaker 1: like all right, that's that's a big boy throw, you know,

2591
02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:11,600
Speaker 1: tight windows whatever, and then it'll have wide open receivers downfield.

2592
02:07:11,640 --> 02:07:14,360
Speaker 1: And we've seen this with a number of quarterbacks. He's

2593
02:07:14,400 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: certainly not alone in this. And I could do this

2594
02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:18,800
Speaker 1: like the end of a cable movie where I have

2595
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:22,000
Speaker 1: a list of names going by really fast of guys

2596
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: that are missing big time throws. That for you and

2597
02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:28,840
Speaker 1: me and and folks watching them, all right, walk me through,

2598
02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:30,720
Speaker 1: how did you miss that? You're supposed to be the

2599
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:33,720
Speaker 1: best of the best. Where's the accuracy, where's the pinpoint

2600
02:07:33,960 --> 02:07:38,120
Speaker 1: precision there? It hasn't been there. So against a Bears

2601
02:07:38,160 --> 02:07:42,000
Speaker 1: defense that's that's been pretty darn good. They are missing Brisker.

2602
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:45,840
Speaker 1: But you know, an opportunity for Chicago to tack on

2603
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:49,000
Speaker 1: another win in a spotlight performance with the offense just

2604
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:49,600
Speaker 1: getting better.

2605
02:07:50,160 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, for Chicago, you're getting a little momentum. For Jacksonville,

2606
02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:57,240
Speaker 2: everything's just falling apart. And you know, I feel like

2607
02:07:57,240 --> 02:08:00,400
Speaker 2: you could take a shot anytime somebody talks about identity.

2608
02:08:00,920 --> 02:08:04,040
Speaker 2: But realistically, we know the identity of good football teams.

2609
02:08:04,120 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Right now, I think we also sort of know the

2610
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:08,920
Speaker 2: identity of bad football teams. And the Jags are that

2611
02:08:09,080 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 2: right now, the identity of the Jags football team. You've

2612
02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:14,680
Speaker 2: got a quarterback that seems to be, for whatever reason,

2613
02:08:14,840 --> 02:08:18,560
Speaker 2: having some issues with a ball placement. Got a quarterback

2614
02:08:18,600 --> 02:08:21,760
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily playing efficient football. I love to use

2615
02:08:21,760 --> 02:08:23,880
Speaker 2: that word with quarterbacks. And you have a defense it's

2616
02:08:23,880 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 2: absolutely gougeable. So if you're the Jags man, you're not

2617
02:08:27,560 --> 02:08:29,680
Speaker 2: in a great situation right now. If you look at

2618
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:31,320
Speaker 2: it and say, hey, this is what we're going to

2619
02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:33,440
Speaker 2: hang our hat on, this is what we can do

2620
02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:35,840
Speaker 2: well to win football games. I don't think that's an

2621
02:08:35,840 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 2: easy question to answer for Jacksonville, and it is for

2622
02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:41,080
Speaker 2: the Bears, even though they're still growing, you know exactly

2623
02:08:41,080 --> 02:08:43,480
Speaker 2: how they're intending to win football games. So the lack

2624
02:08:43,520 --> 02:08:46,520
Speaker 2: of identity, the lack of culture, the lack of efficiency,

2625
02:08:46,560 --> 02:08:48,720
Speaker 2: all of these things together with Jacksonville just makes it

2626
02:08:48,720 --> 02:08:51,480
Speaker 2: feel like they're free falling and we're just waiting for

2627
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 2: the inevitable replacement a head coach who will then inevitably

2628
02:08:55,440 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 2: be trying to win this job long term. And it's

2629
02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:01,720
Speaker 2: just another year lost. This is just another year loss

2630
02:09:01,760 --> 02:09:04,880
Speaker 2: on a prospect. With Trevor Lawrence, it was so good

2631
02:09:04,920 --> 02:09:07,800
Speaker 2: that I remember standing on the sidelines his freshman year

2632
02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:10,600
Speaker 2: at Clemson covering him at the time, and everybody saying,

2633
02:09:10,600 --> 02:09:13,120
Speaker 2: you know what, he should sue the NFL to get

2634
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:15,280
Speaker 2: the rules changed so he could go into the league.

2635
02:09:15,360 --> 02:09:18,520
Speaker 2: Right now, he's gonna be the best sense lway and

2636
02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:21,240
Speaker 2: none of that. Like, it's just it's I don't I

2637
02:09:21,280 --> 02:09:23,440
Speaker 2: think the Jags have failed Trevor Lawrence, but I think

2638
02:09:23,480 --> 02:09:25,600
Speaker 2: right now Trevor Lawrence is also failing the Jags and

2639
02:09:25,680 --> 02:09:28,320
Speaker 2: that's just a tough spot to be in for your quarterback. Yeah,

2640
02:09:28,320 --> 02:09:28,520
Speaker 2: I think.

2641
02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 1: And it's also the games have been gettable, Like that's

2642
02:09:32,400 --> 02:09:34,920
Speaker 1: been I think the hardest thing going back. We talked

2643
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:38,400
Speaker 1: about it briefly earlier, the loss at Miami to start

2644
02:09:38,440 --> 02:09:43,320
Speaker 1: the season. Then what was wow, just a miserable slog

2645
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:47,800
Speaker 1: that eighteen thirteen loss to Cleveland. Right, So there you go.

2646
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:50,440
Speaker 1: You got two losses by eight points. Then you lose

2647
02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:54,360
Speaker 1: and get absolutely obliterated by Buffalo. Okay, Houston, you gave

2648
02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:57,280
Speaker 1: the game away. So you've got three of your first

2649
02:09:57,320 --> 02:10:00,839
Speaker 1: four games if you could close things out because ad leads,

2650
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:04,800
Speaker 1: they had opportunity and they all slipped away. Like we

2651
02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:07,800
Speaker 1: were talking about back in hour one long time ago.

2652
02:10:08,560 --> 02:10:10,480
Speaker 1: If you've been with us this morning, we appreciate you

2653
02:10:10,560 --> 02:10:14,400
Speaker 1: hanging out talking about USC and their inability to close

2654
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:20,160
Speaker 1: out right and again you reasons slash excuses depending on

2655
02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:22,880
Speaker 1: which side you want to come down. Ultimately, a loss

2656
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:25,640
Speaker 1: is a loss, and that's.

2657
02:10:25,520 --> 02:10:29,400
Speaker 2: The hardest part. You know, When you're a good football

2658
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:32,680
Speaker 2: team and you lose, the coach stands up and says, hey,

2659
02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:34,840
Speaker 2: we are who our record is. When you're a bad

2660
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 2: football team and you lose, the coach and the players

2661
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 2: come out and say, we're just one or two plays away.

2662
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:41,560
Speaker 2: We're just one or two plays away. And it's amazing

2663
02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:44,920
Speaker 2: how we shift that narrative to be whatever seems to

2664
02:10:44,960 --> 02:10:49,120
Speaker 2: be the best for building forward. The fact is oversimplification.

2665
02:10:49,400 --> 02:10:51,440
Speaker 2: Bad teams find a way to win. Good teams find

2666
02:10:51,440 --> 02:10:54,440
Speaker 2: a way to lose. Sorry said that wrong. Good teams

2667
02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:56,000
Speaker 2: find a way to win. Bad teams find a way

2668
02:10:56,000 --> 02:10:58,560
Speaker 2: to lose. You do it, man. At this point, you

2669
02:10:58,640 --> 02:11:00,320
Speaker 2: sort of are who you are if you're losing a

2670
02:11:00,360 --> 02:11:03,520
Speaker 2: bunch of close football games, because news flash, the NFL

2671
02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:06,920
Speaker 2: is meant to be close football games every single week.

2672
02:11:07,080 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 2: So you can either be the Chiefs or you can

2673
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,280
Speaker 2: be the Browns. You can either be the Chiefs or

2674
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 2: you can be the Jackson. I keep using the Chiefs

2675
02:11:13,880 --> 02:11:16,520
Speaker 2: because all they do is win close games, and at

2676
02:11:16,560 --> 02:11:18,600
Speaker 2: some point that's not lucky. That's just part of the

2677
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:19,800
Speaker 2: wiring of who you are.

2678
02:11:20,480 --> 02:11:23,240
Speaker 1: He's Jason Fitz. I'm Mike Carmin. It's Fox Football Sunday,

Speaker 1: Bears and Jaguars in London pregame, trying to get to

Speaker 1: We got one with a nice tasty over under a

2688
02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:56,400
Speaker 1: fifty two. I think you know where we're headed. Big

2689
02:11:57,120 --> 02:12:01,160
Speaker 1: big game means a big total on the board. Yeah,

2690
02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:04,440

2691

02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:33,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you a little anecdote. My cousin's

2718
02:13:33,720 --> 02:13:37,400
Speaker 1: off in London for this Bears game. Here Jason, and

2719
02:13:38,080 --> 02:13:41,040
Speaker 1: this was the latest text I got, saying that they've

2720
02:13:41,080 --> 02:13:46,480
Speaker 1: already seen five Brady Bucks jerseys, one guy that had

2721
02:13:46,480 --> 02:13:49,200
Speaker 1: fabricated a Bears onan And then they took a freight

2722
02:13:49,240 --> 02:13:52,200
Speaker 1: elevator to a suite area. And when they were asking

2723
02:13:52,280 --> 02:13:54,840
Speaker 1: how to get out, the security lady just said, eat

2724
02:13:54,880 --> 02:14:00,280
Speaker 1: as much as you can because it's free. Oh, we're

2725
02:14:00,280 --> 02:14:02,200
Speaker 1: not supposed to be here. We really need to know

2726
02:14:02,240 --> 02:14:03,960
Speaker 1: how to get to our seats. Like take some food

2727
02:14:04,000 --> 02:14:06,520
Speaker 1: with you, take it to go bag. There you go.

2728
02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:10,360
Speaker 2: I kind of like I kind of dig that. Yeah,

2729
02:14:10,560 --> 02:14:12,200
Speaker 2: like I love the idea of it was free.

2730
02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he just kind of wander in. It's like

2731
02:14:13,960 --> 02:14:16,400
Speaker 1: they put out a spread. Evidently the people had not

2732
02:14:16,440 --> 02:14:18,640
Speaker 1: come into the suite yet that were supposed to be there,

2733
02:14:18,960 --> 02:14:21,040
Speaker 1: so she said, help yourselves.

2734
02:14:21,800 --> 02:14:24,080
Speaker 2: I will be get off my long guy. Though, I

2735
02:14:24,160 --> 02:14:27,240
Speaker 2: for a moment just about live events in general. I

2736
02:14:27,280 --> 02:14:31,440
Speaker 2: never understood when people went to concerts when I was touring,

2737
02:14:31,760 --> 02:14:34,760
Speaker 2: and they got so smashed going to the concert that

2738
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:36,600
Speaker 2: they had to be you know, taking out on a

2739
02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:40,840
Speaker 2: wheelchair stretcher from amphitheaters. Happens all the time. We used

2740
02:14:40,840 --> 02:14:42,920
Speaker 2: to have a running bet sometimes on how many people

2741
02:14:43,240 --> 02:14:46,080
Speaker 2: we would see get helped out because they were too drunk.

2742
02:14:46,240 --> 02:14:47,960
Speaker 2: And I always looked at it and thought, Man, if

2743
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:50,400
Speaker 2: you're coming to this concert and you're gonna get that smashed,

2744
02:14:50,600 --> 02:14:53,280
Speaker 2: why not just stay at home and like play the

2745
02:14:53,320 --> 02:14:56,360
Speaker 2: CD instead nowadays like turn on Spotify instead. Why not

2746
02:14:56,480 --> 02:14:58,840
Speaker 2: just sit at home, drink a case of cheaper beer,

2747
02:14:59,160 --> 02:15:01,280
Speaker 2: get tanked, and to listen to the show or watch

2748
02:15:01,320 --> 02:15:04,240
Speaker 2: it on YouTube. I don't understand. I also don't understand.

2749
02:15:04,480 --> 02:15:06,720
Speaker 2: And this is the danger of anything free in the stadium.

2750
02:15:06,760 --> 02:15:08,400
Speaker 2: Like I don't know how to say no to something

2751
02:15:08,440 --> 02:15:11,520
Speaker 2: that's free. No sure drink. So like, if you walk

2752
02:15:11,600 --> 02:15:14,280
Speaker 2: me into this area, like the bridge Stone Arena down

2753
02:15:14,320 --> 02:15:16,680
Speaker 2: in Nashville has the Lexus Lounge, and if you get

2754
02:15:16,680 --> 02:15:19,280
Speaker 2: the Lexus Lounge ticket, man, that's like unlimited food and

2755
02:15:19,320 --> 02:15:21,600
Speaker 2: drink and the number of my friends that are just

2756
02:15:21,680 --> 02:15:24,400
Speaker 2: too hammered to be able to consume a hockey game

2757
02:15:24,440 --> 02:15:26,400
Speaker 2: after that. Always look at that thing. That's a little

2758
02:15:26,800 --> 02:15:28,680
Speaker 2: it's a little off to me, Like, you know, we

2759
02:15:29,160 --> 02:15:30,880
Speaker 2: spent the time and the money to get the tickets

2760
02:15:30,920 --> 02:15:33,080
Speaker 2: come down here like we should. At least I'm all

2761
02:15:33,120 --> 02:15:34,560
Speaker 2: in for, you know, if you want to have one

2762
02:15:34,640 --> 02:15:36,120
Speaker 2: or two, but I think you've got to be at

2763
02:15:36,200 --> 02:15:38,480
Speaker 2: least sober enough to know why you're there. While you're there,

2764
02:15:38,560 --> 02:15:41,000
Speaker 2: I just get off your long, guy. I just don't

2765
02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:41,600
Speaker 2: understand it.

2766
02:15:41,720 --> 02:15:45,840
Speaker 1: No, I understand that is all valid, and certainly from

2767
02:15:45,840 --> 02:15:49,920
Speaker 1: the enjoyment part of it. You know, gluttony is one

2768
02:15:49,960 --> 02:15:53,840
Speaker 1: of our vices, and certainly we go through it. You know,

2769
02:15:53,880 --> 02:15:57,280
Speaker 1: folks cut and get loose in all different ways. Right,

2770
02:15:57,320 --> 02:16:01,640
Speaker 1: you talked about being California sober earlier. You know, sometimes

2771
02:16:01,640 --> 02:16:05,400
Speaker 1: that leads to bad decisions with chip bags and other

2772
02:16:05,760 --> 02:16:07,080
Speaker 1: fast food events.

2773
02:16:07,480 --> 02:16:10,000
Speaker 2: One of the things when I started my fitness journey

2774
02:16:10,280 --> 02:16:12,440
Speaker 2: and they were like, hey, you can't, you can't drink,

2775
02:16:12,440 --> 02:16:14,760
Speaker 2: And I was like, all right, that's fine if I

2776
02:16:14,760 --> 02:16:17,240
Speaker 2: can't drink, but you know, I'm still gonna I'm still

2777
02:16:17,240 --> 02:16:19,880
Speaker 2: gonna party, right, and they're like, yes, you you still

2778
02:16:19,880 --> 02:16:22,320
Speaker 2: want to, you know, have your edible of fun. You can,

2779
02:16:22,640 --> 02:16:25,760
Speaker 2: but you cannot snack after you've had any. And so

2780
02:16:25,920 --> 02:16:28,440
Speaker 2: I had to make this conscious decision of it's either

2781
02:16:28,520 --> 02:16:32,800
Speaker 2: go completely just all in, or it's give myself the

2782
02:16:32,840 --> 02:16:37,240
Speaker 2: discipline to not eat. So I never I never partake

2783
02:16:37,640 --> 02:16:39,280
Speaker 2: until it's the end of the night and I've already

2784
02:16:39,280 --> 02:16:41,080
Speaker 2: had my food allotment for the day. I'm an into

2785
02:16:41,080 --> 02:16:43,960
Speaker 2: my evening fast period and then once I have it, it's

2786
02:16:43,879 --> 02:16:46,560
Speaker 2: only water after that. I have trained myself to enjoy

2787
02:16:46,600 --> 02:16:50,080
Speaker 2: only sparkling water. After I am a I have a

2788
02:16:50,120 --> 02:16:53,160
Speaker 2: few edibles into my evening. It's it's been transformative. It's

2789
02:16:53,160 --> 02:16:55,760
Speaker 2: taken it's taken a while to do that, because all

2790
02:16:55,800 --> 02:16:58,400
Speaker 2: you need is one chip. Like one chip turns into

2791
02:16:58,440 --> 02:16:59,840
Speaker 2: four backs of chips. And that's just the way.

2792
02:17:00,640 --> 02:17:03,039
Speaker 1: See as you went through that whole thing, I thought

2793
02:17:03,040 --> 02:17:04,959
Speaker 1: it was a new edition of And that's one to

2794
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:09,480
Speaker 1: grow on. Meg. I've Detroit three point favorites on the

2795
02:17:09,560 --> 02:17:13,520
Speaker 1: road at Dallas fifty two is the over under the

2796
02:17:13,600 --> 02:17:17,640
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. David Montgomery celebrating himself a brand new contract

2797
02:17:17,879 --> 02:17:20,880
Speaker 1: one of my favorite ex Bears, even though he stayed

2798
02:17:20,879 --> 02:17:23,880
Speaker 1: in division. He's got the right coach and temperament and

2799
02:17:24,200 --> 02:17:28,120
Speaker 1: everything for what they want to do offensively. And we

2800
02:17:28,200 --> 02:17:32,120
Speaker 1: look at this one for Jared Goff and company on

2801
02:17:32,160 --> 02:17:35,400
Speaker 1: the road to Dallas. Dallas missing a couple other big components.

2802
02:17:35,400 --> 02:17:42,800
Speaker 1: Bland also not in the defensive backfield, no Lawrence, no Parsons,

2803
02:17:43,520 --> 02:17:46,640
Speaker 1: should be an opportunity to deal. So I think we,

2804
02:17:46,959 --> 02:17:50,360
Speaker 1: at least on the surface here have ourselves a making

2805
02:17:50,440 --> 02:17:52,600
Speaker 1: of a nice old fashioned shootout.

2806
02:17:53,800 --> 02:17:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of those rare times where you

2807
02:17:55,560 --> 02:17:59,160
Speaker 2: feel like hammer the over hammer individual over zone props.

2808
02:17:59,800 --> 02:18:02,000
Speaker 2: If you've got players in the fantasy spectrum that are

2809
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:04,839
Speaker 2: in this game, this is a home run for you. Congratulations.

2810
02:18:04,879 --> 02:18:09,080
Speaker 2: I genuinely am curious on if either defense can really

2811
02:18:09,120 --> 02:18:11,520
Speaker 2: step up and stop the other offense. So, you know,

2812
02:18:11,600 --> 02:18:14,280
Speaker 2: Detroit obviously wheeling a deal and it can score from

2813
02:18:14,280 --> 02:18:17,760
Speaker 2: absolutely anywhere. Dallas becomes kind of curious to me. I

2814
02:18:17,840 --> 02:18:20,119
Speaker 2: just I think the Dallas is going to be able

2815
02:18:20,160 --> 02:18:22,080
Speaker 2: to move the football. We know that. I mean, Seattle

2816
02:18:22,160 --> 02:18:25,720
Speaker 2: absolutely move the football. It will. I think Dallas should

2817
02:18:25,760 --> 02:18:27,640
Speaker 2: be able to move the football. But if they can't,

2818
02:18:28,040 --> 02:18:31,360
Speaker 2: these these rumblings of a one dimensional offense being the

2819
02:18:31,400 --> 02:18:34,160
Speaker 2: death of the Cowboys are going to become yells. They're

2820
02:18:34,160 --> 02:18:37,360
Speaker 2: gonna become screams. And rightfully so, this feels like the

2821
02:18:37,400 --> 02:18:40,640
Speaker 2: opportunity win or lose. The Cowboys got to get right,

2822
02:18:40,720 --> 02:18:43,199
Speaker 2: they got to start. We have to see their offense

2823
02:18:43,240 --> 02:18:45,000
Speaker 2: start to click. Otherwise I think we're going to go

2824
02:18:45,040 --> 02:18:47,960
Speaker 2: in full whatever panic mode, like where Kermit the Frog

2825
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:50,080
Speaker 2: is running around with there's arms flailing in the air.

2826
02:18:50,280 --> 02:18:51,920
Speaker 2: That's gonna be Jerry Jones by the end of this

2827
02:18:51,959 --> 02:18:54,480
Speaker 2: game if it doesn't go right. And by the way,

2828
02:18:54,600 --> 02:18:57,160
Speaker 2: I just think also it's time to acknowledge, no matter

2829
02:18:57,200 --> 02:18:59,120
Speaker 2: what we think of the brands, and no matter the

2830
02:18:59,160 --> 02:19:01,640
Speaker 2: history of the teams, all these other teams are things,

2831
02:19:01,879 --> 02:19:04,119
Speaker 2: the Lions are the better team. The Lions should win

2832
02:19:04,120 --> 02:19:04,840
Speaker 2: this football game.

2833
02:19:05,200 --> 02:19:10,160
Speaker 1: Note to self ad screaming Kermit the Frog sounder to

2834
02:19:10,600 --> 02:19:16,200
Speaker 1: board note noted we'd be remiss. We've got Chris Burfette

2835
02:19:16,240 --> 02:19:18,840
Speaker 1: with us at Pride of Detroit, at Chrisprophet where you

2836
02:19:18,840 --> 02:19:21,200
Speaker 1: find him in the Twitter verse. Since we have this

2837
02:19:21,280 --> 02:19:25,560
Speaker 1: big game in our lap, you cover this squad, big game,

2838
02:19:25,680 --> 02:19:28,199
Speaker 1: big opportunity here for you. In week six.

2839
02:19:28,520 --> 02:19:31,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're coming off of bye week, they've been trying

2840
02:19:31,080 --> 02:19:32,600
Speaker 6: to get healthy out of that, and it looks like

2841
02:19:32,600 --> 02:19:33,320
Speaker 6: everyone's kind.

2842
02:19:33,200 --> 02:19:34,600
Speaker 1: Of good to go in that regard.

2843
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:36,000
Speaker 4: I agree with Fitz.

2844
02:19:36,160 --> 02:19:39,840
Speaker 6: There is this, like, you know, question about how the

2845
02:19:39,879 --> 02:19:42,000
Speaker 6: Cowboys are one dimensional. It's going to be going up

2846
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:44,920
Speaker 6: against what is for the Lions, a young secondary that,

2847
02:19:45,080 --> 02:19:47,960
Speaker 6: especially for Terry and Arnold, has been very penalized, which

2848
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:50,240
Speaker 6: might allow the may allow the Cowboys to stick around

2849
02:19:50,240 --> 02:19:52,240
Speaker 6: this game. But I think you're right, like this is

2850
02:19:52,640 --> 02:19:55,000
Speaker 6: the Lions are the better team right now. They're the

2851
02:19:55,040 --> 02:19:59,560
Speaker 6: more complete team. They certainly love running the football, and

2852
02:19:59,560 --> 02:20:01,400
Speaker 6: they're going to try to jam it down the throat

2853
02:20:01,440 --> 02:20:03,959
Speaker 6: of the Cowboys here. And Jared Goff's coming off a

2854
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:07,840
Speaker 6: game one of the first quarterbacks ever to have eighteen

2855
02:20:07,959 --> 02:20:11,800
Speaker 6: for eighteen, a complete perfect game from a quarterback. It's

2856
02:20:11,959 --> 02:20:14,920
Speaker 6: kind of, I mean, weird things happen in Dallas, especially

2857
02:20:14,920 --> 02:20:17,560
Speaker 6: when the Lions play there and the refs get involved,

2858
02:20:17,560 --> 02:20:18,080
Speaker 6: it seems.

2859
02:20:18,160 --> 02:20:20,520
Speaker 1: But oh, look at that. I'm just saying, he just

2860
02:20:20,680 --> 02:20:22,560
Speaker 1: he just had to get the refs in. You see that.

2861
02:20:23,360 --> 02:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Come on, you.

2862
02:20:24,480 --> 02:20:25,920
Speaker 4: Tell me, you tell me it's not true.

2863
02:20:26,640 --> 02:20:27,320
Speaker 2: It's not true.

2864
02:20:27,400 --> 02:20:28,600
Speaker 4: No, I know it's not true.

2865
02:20:28,360 --> 02:20:30,440
Speaker 6: But it's either way. But it's just a good talk

2866
02:20:30,520 --> 02:20:32,200
Speaker 6: to get back. I'm not saying it goes one way

2867
02:20:32,280 --> 02:20:34,800
Speaker 6: or the other. I'm just saying weird gremlins tend to happen.

2868
02:20:35,120 --> 02:20:37,879
Speaker 6: So you know, never say never, and you always want

2869
02:20:37,879 --> 02:20:40,000
Speaker 6: to go the opposite way sometimes when you see a

2870
02:20:40,040 --> 02:20:42,520
Speaker 6: lock in the NFL. But hard to root to get,

2871
02:20:42,600 --> 02:20:45,240
Speaker 6: hard to say it's not the Lions game to win here.

2872
02:20:45,240 --> 02:20:48,400
Speaker 1: No, absolutely to eighty three the over under for Prescott's

2873
02:20:48,440 --> 02:20:52,039
Speaker 1: passing yards golf at two forty five and a half.

2874
02:20:52,080 --> 02:20:54,800
Speaker 1: On the receiving side of things, Ceedee Lamb, your leader

2875
02:20:54,840 --> 02:20:57,840
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse for expectations today, eighty eight and a

2876
02:20:57,879 --> 02:21:01,160
Speaker 1: half receiving yards. I think I'd be looking down at

2877
02:21:01,280 --> 02:21:03,120
Speaker 1: a price shot a little bit, and I got to

2878
02:21:03,120 --> 02:21:05,840
Speaker 1: find him. Where he's at on my board is Tolbird.

2879
02:21:05,879 --> 02:21:08,800
Speaker 1: He's at forty five and a half. When we start

2880
02:21:08,840 --> 02:21:11,520
Speaker 1: looking at the secondary, as Chris laid out there, where

2881
02:21:11,560 --> 02:21:16,800
Speaker 1: you've got some youthful situations and you've got like Ceedee

2882
02:21:16,879 --> 02:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Lamb should have bracket coverage, right, Yeah, he'll probably have

2883
02:21:20,040 --> 02:21:21,080
Speaker 1: Carlton Davis on them.

2884
02:21:21,160 --> 02:21:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, Terry and Arnold I hope they spent

2885
02:21:23,600 --> 02:21:26,160
Speaker 2: the last two weeks making in practice with like fortys

2886
02:21:26,160 --> 02:21:28,200
Speaker 2: taped to his hands or something like anything that keeps

2887
02:21:28,280 --> 02:21:30,879
Speaker 2: him from clutching, because my god, I mean, I think

2888
02:21:30,920 --> 02:21:33,560
Speaker 2: you were kind in talking about the penalties and we're

2889
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:36,760
Speaker 2: just talking about absolute grab grab, grab grab for Terry,

2890
02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:39,320
Speaker 2: and I thought coming out he was a really good prospect.

2891
02:21:39,560 --> 02:21:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm really excited for who he can be in the league.

2892
02:21:42,040 --> 02:21:45,840
Speaker 2: But certainly the jump for him has meant a jump

2893
02:21:45,840 --> 02:21:48,800
Speaker 2: in holding, and it's just it's happening too often in

2894
02:21:48,840 --> 02:21:51,560
Speaker 2: too many games, at too many key positions where he's

2895
02:21:51,560 --> 02:21:54,160
Speaker 2: out of position so to present and prevent himself from

2896
02:21:54,160 --> 02:21:57,560
Speaker 2: getting absolutely torts, he's just grabbing cloth and that's just

2897
02:21:57,680 --> 02:21:59,760
Speaker 2: that's not going to hold up. He's going to get

2898
02:21:59,760 --> 02:22:00,960
Speaker 2: a pew if he doesn't fix that.

2899
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:02,840
Speaker 6: I guess part of that is like do you really

2900
02:22:02,840 --> 02:22:04,320
Speaker 6: want a guy burning you or are you just going

2901
02:22:04,400 --> 02:22:06,440
Speaker 6: to take the penalty if you're really burned that way?

2902
02:22:06,480 --> 02:22:08,840
Speaker 6: But yeah, there is a certain point. It's like it's

2903
02:22:08,879 --> 02:22:12,880
Speaker 6: a rookie quarterback in the NFL. Adjustments are needed, and brother,

2904
02:22:12,959 --> 02:22:15,200
Speaker 6: you're not in the SEC anymore. You really can't get

2905
02:22:15,200 --> 02:22:16,480
Speaker 6: away with some grabby stuff.

2906
02:22:16,800 --> 02:22:18,560
Speaker 1: There you go. Check out everything he's got going at

02:24:44,560 --> 02:24:48,520
Speaker 5: North Carolina needed a win to keep its playoff hopes alive.

2949
02:24:48,879 --> 02:24:51,360
Speaker 5: They were scoreless and the final seconds of second half

2950
02:24:51,360 --> 02:24:54,800
Speaker 5: stoppage time. And the person you're about to hear, two

Speaker 5: That was the exact audio. But a great moment for

2970
02:25:52,840 --> 02:25:55,920
Speaker 5: a moment. Nonetheless, Now the queen is back. Queen's back.

Speaker 1: Went, only hey, look you lean into the bit.

2978
02:26:19,120 --> 02:26:22,520
Speaker 2: I said that I send that little meme or Jeff

2979
02:26:22,560 --> 02:26:26,560
Speaker 2: whatever of Kermit running around with his arms flailing all

2980
02:26:26,600 --> 02:26:29,360
Speaker 2: the time. It's one of my favorite you know that.

2981
02:26:29,560 --> 02:26:31,560
Speaker 2: And the the poof of g Littergiff for my two

2982
02:26:31,640 --> 02:26:33,600
Speaker 2: leg go ts. And by the way, it's Jiff, not

2983
02:26:33,680 --> 02:26:37,840
Speaker 2: gift for anyone that wants to try correct me. It's

2984
02:26:37,879 --> 02:26:40,800
Speaker 2: it's Jiff. And the reason it's Jeff is the guy

2985
02:26:40,840 --> 02:26:44,000
Speaker 2: that actually invented the technology. When he was given an award,

2986
02:26:44,560 --> 02:26:48,320
Speaker 2: walked up and his acceptance speech for inventing the technology

2987
02:26:48,520 --> 02:26:52,080
Speaker 2: was literally just it is pronounced Jeff, that's all he said.

2988
02:26:52,400 --> 02:26:54,959
Speaker 2: And look, people may not like that, but if you

2989
02:26:55,000 --> 02:26:56,240
Speaker 2: invented it, you get to name it.

2990
02:26:56,280 --> 02:26:57,440
Speaker 4: He was wrong, he was still wrong.

2991
02:26:57,800 --> 02:27:00,760
Speaker 2: If my parents named me j a son, but tell

2992
02:27:00,760 --> 02:27:03,120
Speaker 2: you it's Hayson, then you're gonna have to call me

2993
02:27:03,160 --> 02:27:05,240
Speaker 2: hay soon, even if it sounds stupid. All right, So

2994
02:27:05,320 --> 02:27:07,280
Speaker 2: that's just the way it's gonna go, he said, Jeff,

2995
02:27:07,520 --> 02:27:10,520
Speaker 2: Therefore it's Jiff. You invent the technology. Turn the page

2996
02:27:10,520 --> 02:27:12,080
Speaker 2: in the book. You get to tell everyone how it's.

2997
02:27:12,240 --> 02:27:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but as we know, things change if it starts

2998
02:27:14,520 --> 02:27:17,680
Speaker 1: getting used in culture differently, Like, look, how many words

2999
02:27:17,720 --> 02:27:20,840
Speaker 1: do we have that now have the complete opposite meaning

3000
02:27:20,840 --> 02:27:22,640
Speaker 1: of what's what they did ten years ago?

3001
02:27:23,879 --> 02:27:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we could do better, be better with something that's

3002
02:27:26,600 --> 02:27:29,480
Speaker 2: very recent that frankly, the inventor is still alive.

3003
02:27:29,560 --> 02:27:31,840
Speaker 1: On I mean this, Yeah, he had a good run.

3004
02:27:34,440 --> 02:27:36,879
Speaker 1: You got credit for it. Let's move on, Hey, let's

3005
02:27:36,879 --> 02:27:40,359
Speaker 1: get back in the NFL. The game is underway. Bears

3006
02:27:40,400 --> 02:27:42,760
Speaker 1: punt on their first possession, Trevor Lawrence getting ready to

3007
02:27:42,760 --> 02:27:46,160
Speaker 1: take over. But and I appreciated all the Bears showing

3008
02:27:46,240 --> 02:27:48,600
Speaker 1: up as peaky blinders. It's a nice little thing if

3009
02:27:48,600 --> 02:27:50,360
Speaker 1: you haven't watched the show, I'll go do it. A

3010
02:27:50,400 --> 02:27:55,720
Speaker 1: movie's coming, Killy and Murphy getting it done. But the discussion,

3011
02:27:55,800 --> 02:27:58,520
Speaker 1: right the Commission always does is a state of the

3012
02:27:58,600 --> 02:28:01,360
Speaker 1: Union kind of thing whenever we start international stuff, because

3013
02:28:01,480 --> 02:28:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, you got to be front and center as

3014
02:28:03,160 --> 02:28:07,600
Speaker 1: a big shot. And look, they're gonna ratify Brady as

3015
02:28:07,640 --> 02:28:11,720
Speaker 1: part owner of the Raiders on Tuesday. Cool checkbox, Move

3016
02:28:11,760 --> 02:28:13,800
Speaker 1: it on. But we talked a little bit earlier in

3017
02:28:13,840 --> 02:28:17,240
Speaker 1: the show bring It Back Here, talking internationally of the

3018
02:28:17,280 --> 02:28:23,960
Speaker 1: potential of a Super Bowl going overseas and handwringing about it.

3019
02:28:24,120 --> 02:28:29,480
Speaker 1: We talked about just the in season games and feelings

3020
02:28:29,680 --> 02:28:33,080
Speaker 1: about those, the loss of a home game for squads,

3021
02:28:33,400 --> 02:28:36,400
Speaker 1: the ability to travel, like you start weighing pros, cons

3022
02:28:36,440 --> 02:28:38,320
Speaker 1: et cetera time of day that maybe you got to

3023
02:28:38,360 --> 02:28:40,440
Speaker 1: get up a little bit earlier to watch your squad

3024
02:28:41,320 --> 02:28:45,160
Speaker 1: go overseas and everything else. But for the international thing

3025
02:28:46,400 --> 02:28:49,480
Speaker 1: for a Super Bowl, I chuckle because people are gonna

3026
02:28:49,480 --> 02:28:51,119
Speaker 1: get really mad and this will be a talking point

3027
02:28:51,160 --> 02:28:53,120
Speaker 1: throughout the week. I have no doubt. So let's jump

3028
02:28:53,160 --> 02:28:56,280
Speaker 1: on it first. And I'll just get ahead of it

3029
02:28:56,360 --> 02:28:58,640
Speaker 1: by saying all anybody does is tell me how super

3030
02:28:58,640 --> 02:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Bowls are too expensive and they'd rather watch it on

3031
02:29:01,480 --> 02:29:04,960
Speaker 1: their big watch whatever sporting event on their big screen

3032
02:29:05,000 --> 02:29:08,800
Speaker 1: TV and buy their snacks anyway, So this shouldn't This

3033
02:29:08,840 --> 02:29:12,440
Speaker 1: is a non starter for all of America. I can't

3034
02:29:12,480 --> 02:29:14,280
Speaker 1: tell you the number of friends like, Oh, my team's

3035
02:29:14,320 --> 02:29:16,200
Speaker 1: finally gonna make it. It's like, well, you haven't made it

3036
02:29:16,280 --> 02:29:19,560
Speaker 1: in thirty years. You put a little bit of money. No, no, no,

3037
02:29:19,680 --> 02:29:21,640
Speaker 1: I didn't you know that kind of thing. It's like

3038
02:29:21,680 --> 02:29:24,199
Speaker 1: saving for the rainy day when your team finally actually

3039
02:29:24,200 --> 02:29:26,400
Speaker 1: gets good for the super Bowl, Like it's all about

3040
02:29:26,400 --> 02:29:29,640
Speaker 1: a cash grab. And think about the actual artists, Like

3041
02:29:29,760 --> 02:29:32,400
Speaker 1: depending on where that which stadium it's in, you know,

3042
02:29:32,440 --> 02:29:35,279
Speaker 1: you could get the hometown a bunch of English performers

3043
02:29:35,320 --> 02:29:35,840
Speaker 1: mixed there in.

3044
02:29:37,520 --> 02:29:40,360
Speaker 2: Look, I actually think you're a thousand percent right. Who

3045
02:29:40,400 --> 02:29:43,360
Speaker 2: cares where the super Bowl is? I At some point,

3046
02:29:43,440 --> 02:29:45,400
Speaker 2: I think the only thing that would be really difficult

3047
02:29:45,440 --> 02:29:47,720
Speaker 2: for the super Bowl is if they move it internationally.

3048
02:29:48,120 --> 02:29:51,119
Speaker 2: The time change will make it a very weird kickoff

3049
02:29:51,160 --> 02:29:54,000
Speaker 2: time in whatever city it's in, depending on what city

3050
02:29:54,040 --> 02:29:55,840
Speaker 2: the Sure put it in, that would be that'd be

3051
02:29:55,840 --> 02:29:57,560
Speaker 2: difficult because they're not going to move it off of

3052
02:29:57,600 --> 02:29:59,959
Speaker 2: the usual time that it plays on Super Bowl Sunday.

3053
02:30:00,160 --> 02:30:02,879
Speaker 1: So tell me that stadium full of people won't rally.

3054
02:30:03,240 --> 02:30:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah right, because the week ahead they're going

3055
02:30:05,360 --> 02:30:07,240
Speaker 1: to get parties all over the place. And think about

3056
02:30:07,240 --> 02:30:08,560
Speaker 1: the locals that you can have.

3057
02:30:09,600 --> 02:30:11,480
Speaker 2: Well, I was stunned the first time I ever was

3058
02:30:11,520 --> 02:30:13,920
Speaker 2: around a Super Bowl. Even before I was doing this,

3059
02:30:14,640 --> 02:30:16,360
Speaker 2: I was just a little podcast trying to make it.

3060
02:30:16,400 --> 02:30:18,840
Speaker 2: And I remember going up and thinking the day of

3061
02:30:18,879 --> 02:30:20,160
Speaker 2: the game, you know, and I'm just going to see

3062
02:30:20,160 --> 02:30:22,040
Speaker 2: if I can get a last second ticket, And even

3063
02:30:22,120 --> 02:30:25,480
Speaker 2: last second, as kickoff was approaching, tickets were still five

3064
02:30:25,600 --> 02:30:30,039
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars for nosebleed terrible seats. So realistically, if

3065
02:30:30,040 --> 02:30:31,480
Speaker 2: you can go to a Super Bowl, if you can

3066
02:30:31,520 --> 02:30:34,000
Speaker 2: afford a Super Bowl knowing that your team doesn't even

3067
02:30:34,080 --> 02:30:36,800
Speaker 2: qualify for it until right before, if you could afford

3068
02:30:36,840 --> 02:30:39,800
Speaker 2: those last second tickets, then you can probably also afford

3069
02:30:39,800 --> 02:30:41,840
Speaker 2: the last second plane ticket that's going to get you there.

3070
02:30:42,600 --> 02:30:45,080
Speaker 2: Who cares? Who cares if it's in London? Who cares

3071
02:30:45,120 --> 02:30:47,680
Speaker 2: it's if it's in Croatia? For all, I can't. I

3072
02:30:47,680 --> 02:30:49,360
Speaker 2: don't care where they play the Super Bowl. I care

3073
02:30:49,400 --> 02:30:52,440
Speaker 2: a lot more about a regular season game that really

3074
02:30:52,440 --> 02:30:55,600
Speaker 2: puts fans out in my mind and takes a home

3075
02:30:55,640 --> 02:30:58,199
Speaker 2: game away. Now, if you tell me that my option

3076
02:30:58,440 --> 02:31:02,160
Speaker 2: is a permanent team in London or an international series

3077
02:31:02,160 --> 02:31:05,200
Speaker 2: where there are games every week internationally, I would much

3078
02:31:05,240 --> 02:31:07,280
Speaker 2: rather and I think it's much more realistic to take

3079
02:31:07,360 --> 02:31:10,320
Speaker 2: the International series. A team in London that they talk

3080
02:31:10,360 --> 02:31:12,879
Speaker 2: about every few years just doesn't make a lot of

3081
02:31:12,920 --> 02:31:16,000
Speaker 2: sense to me from a million different spots, not the

3082
02:31:16,120 --> 02:31:20,600
Speaker 2: least of which is athlete taxation and what it would cost,

3083
02:31:20,959 --> 02:31:23,200
Speaker 2: what the team would have to be done with the

3084
02:31:23,240 --> 02:31:25,160
Speaker 2: salary cap, what they'd have to do with adjusting the

3085
02:31:25,200 --> 02:31:28,640
Speaker 2: dollars and cents overall, paying the Queen, all of these things.

3086
02:31:28,720 --> 02:31:31,720
Speaker 2: I just think there's logistics behind London that people don't

3087
02:31:31,800 --> 02:31:33,920
Speaker 2: ever want to consider it, and I can only when

3088
02:31:33,920 --> 02:31:36,959
Speaker 2: you tour internationally, you find out quickly that if in

3089
02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:39,080
Speaker 2: your lifetime, for example, you've ever made more than ten

3090
02:31:39,080 --> 02:31:41,880
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in Canada, when you work in Canada, you

3091
02:31:41,879 --> 02:31:44,280
Speaker 2: have to pay Canadian tax on top of American tax.

3092
02:31:44,320 --> 02:31:46,400
Speaker 2: And this is a real thing that athletes deal with

3093
02:31:46,440 --> 02:31:48,280
Speaker 2: all the time, and it's the reason why you know,

3094
02:31:48,320 --> 02:31:50,240
Speaker 2: if you're a major league baseball player, your deal for

3095
02:31:50,320 --> 02:31:52,640
Speaker 2: Toronto looks different than it would if your deal was

3096
02:31:52,680 --> 02:31:55,280
Speaker 2: in Texas. You know, it's just a reality. Now, start

3097
02:31:55,320 --> 02:31:57,480
Speaker 2: looking at football teams and the amount of money that

3098
02:31:57,520 --> 02:31:59,840
Speaker 2: would be spent up there. If you're talking about England,

3099
02:32:00,160 --> 02:32:03,120
Speaker 2: that would be international tax alone would be suffocating. So

3100
02:32:03,160 --> 02:32:05,280
Speaker 2: I don't think there's ever going to be an international team.

3101
02:32:05,600 --> 02:32:07,080
Speaker 2: So if I have to make that choice, I'll take

3102
02:32:07,080 --> 02:32:09,160
Speaker 2: an international series. But who cares about the Super Bowl?

3103
02:32:09,240 --> 02:32:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always been a curiosity to me about state

3104
02:32:12,800 --> 02:32:15,960
Speaker 1: income taxes and how much a fight is. But since

3105
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:19,200
Speaker 1: the Players Association can't really agree on much of anything

3106
02:32:19,200 --> 02:32:22,160
Speaker 1: of substance, every time they go to the bargaining table, Hey,

3107
02:32:22,200 --> 02:32:23,960
Speaker 1: would you guys like an extra half day off and

3108
02:32:24,040 --> 02:32:27,800
Speaker 1: a bag of chips? Yes? Please? Okay, sign here. I mean,

3109
02:32:27,800 --> 02:32:29,720
Speaker 1: that's really what we get to in all of these

3110
02:32:29,800 --> 02:32:33,400
Speaker 1: CBA negotiations as it were. Yeah, I went to Super

3111
02:32:33,440 --> 02:32:37,560
Speaker 1: Bowl once I saw the hated Packers actually win, and

3112
02:32:37,600 --> 02:32:39,920
Speaker 1: that was not cheap. But I made a promise and

3113
02:32:39,959 --> 02:32:42,880
Speaker 1: I kept through on that promise, and it was arguably

3114
02:32:43,280 --> 02:32:46,480
Speaker 1: one of the finest sporting events I've ever attended. Even

3115
02:32:46,520 --> 02:32:52,760
Speaker 1: if the wrong team won. There you go, Packers, So yeah, Packers,

3116
02:32:52,800 --> 02:32:54,439
Speaker 1: Steelers at Jerryville.

3117
02:32:55,400 --> 02:32:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. To me, there's just something about my god.

3118
02:32:58,080 --> 02:33:00,160
Speaker 2: I mean, this year with Yahoo being in vegae Us

3119
02:33:00,200 --> 02:33:02,520
Speaker 2: all week and covering the Super Bowl, there's something about

3120
02:33:02,520 --> 02:33:05,520
Speaker 2: the entire experience that it's just stinking incredible.

3121
02:33:05,560 --> 02:33:09,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's it's certainly. I'd relish every minute and

3122
02:33:09,480 --> 02:33:11,200
Speaker 1: been blessed to do this for a while, and every

3123
02:33:11,200 --> 02:33:12,760
Speaker 1: once in a while we get out on the road.

3124
02:33:12,800 --> 02:33:15,920
Speaker 1: The people you meet, the fans you meet next level stuff,

3125
02:33:15,920 --> 02:33:19,480
Speaker 1: and that's part of what this London event does. I mean,

3126
02:33:19,520 --> 02:33:23,720
Speaker 1: you even have chairman McCaskey taking selfies with fans who

3127
02:33:23,800 --> 02:33:26,640
Speaker 1: normally would be writing him hate mail. I mean, that's

3128
02:33:26,680 --> 02:33:29,240
Speaker 1: the kind of love this stuff brings out. He's Jason

3129
02:33:29,240 --> 02:33:31,160
Speaker 1: fitz on Mike Carmen coming up next. We're gonna wrap

3130
02:33:31,160 --> 02:33:33,400
Speaker 1: it up here from the tire Raq dot Com Fox

3131
02:33:33,400 --> 02:33:36,240
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. A couple of quick hitter games that

3132
02:33:36,280 --> 02:33:38,600
Speaker 1: we need to get to before we give way to

3133
02:33:38,680 --> 02:33:40,879
Speaker 1: countdown to kickoff. We'll do that next year on Fox.

3134
02:33:42,320 --> 02:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Dodging the proverbial bullet in London, Jaguars take the three

3135
02:33:47,400 --> 02:33:51,400
Speaker 1: to nothing lead a throw to the end zone off

3136
02:33:51,440 --> 02:33:53,879
Speaker 1: the chest of the intended receiver. It look like Trevor

3137
02:33:53,959 --> 02:33:56,560
Speaker 1: Lawrence had of Solvin easy one, not so fast a

3138
02:33:56,720 --> 02:33:59,920
Speaker 1: drop as the Bears will take the ball for this

3139
02:34:00,040 --> 02:34:03,280
Speaker 1: second time. Reminder coming up in just about ten minutes

3147
02:34:26,400 --> 02:34:30,960
Speaker 1: game live bets as this game develops and everything to

3148
02:34:31,000 --> 02:34:33,000
Speaker 1: get you set up for Week six. And a little

3149
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:37,160
Speaker 1: bit of college football reaction because I gotta imagine Jason

3150
02:34:37,200 --> 02:34:39,920
Speaker 1: Fitz that Jeff Schwartz will probably be peacock in a

3151
02:34:39,920 --> 02:34:41,400
Speaker 1: little bit about ten minutes from.

3152
02:34:41,240 --> 02:34:45,000
Speaker 2: Now, rightfully, so, I wonder how many people hit Jeff

3153
02:34:45,120 --> 02:34:48,160
Speaker 2: up for a hookup to that one, Like I just

3154
02:34:48,200 --> 02:34:48,680
Speaker 2: feel like.

3155
02:34:48,800 --> 02:34:52,480
Speaker 1: Over under forty two and a half.

3156
02:34:53,160 --> 02:34:56,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll take I'll take the under, but not by much.

3157
02:34:57,320 --> 02:34:59,400
Speaker 2: Like I feel like that's a good number. You should

3158
02:34:59,400 --> 02:35:01,640
Speaker 2: work in Vegas. Last Bill what he thinks of that number?

3159
02:35:02,440 --> 02:35:05,119
Speaker 1: A bit aggressive, But you know, it's one of those

3160
02:35:05,120 --> 02:35:07,440
Speaker 1: things where you think you've got an end for the game,

3161
02:35:08,160 --> 02:35:10,800
Speaker 1: game of the week, game of the year. Not quite sure,

3162
02:35:10,840 --> 02:35:16,560
Speaker 1: but you want to talk about meme worthy plenty of it,

3163
02:35:16,640 --> 02:35:21,760
Speaker 1: including the final play. Certainly bad decisions. I mean that's

3164
02:35:21,800 --> 02:35:23,360
Speaker 1: the want to get away kind of thing. You should

3165
02:35:23,400 --> 02:35:28,840
Speaker 1: sign an nil with Southwest. But also the fact that

3166
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:31,600
Speaker 1: you had all the graphics of lead changes in the

3167
02:35:31,640 --> 02:35:35,040
Speaker 1: back and forth, and it's everything we love about sports

3168
02:35:35,080 --> 02:35:39,000
Speaker 1: like encapsulated in that game and really across the slate

3169
02:35:39,280 --> 02:35:42,160
Speaker 1: on Saturday, all that we love. Some that are confusing,

3170
02:35:42,640 --> 02:35:45,480
Speaker 1: the fact that Texas wanted to stick a flag through

3171
02:35:45,480 --> 02:35:49,640
Speaker 1: a Baker Mayfield jersey was still kind of odd. I mean,

3172
02:35:50,080 --> 02:35:51,360
Speaker 1: Baker's been gone a minute.

3173
02:35:53,240 --> 02:35:54,680
Speaker 2: Those are the moments too, that I look at it

3174
02:35:54,720 --> 02:35:58,520
Speaker 2: and say, who's your network, your group where somebody can

3175
02:35:58,560 --> 02:36:01,280
Speaker 2: say that's a bad idea. If you don't have somebody

3176
02:36:01,320 --> 02:36:02,920
Speaker 2: in your friend group that can tell you when you

3177
02:36:02,959 --> 02:36:05,320
Speaker 2: have a terrible idea, you need to get that person.

3178
02:36:05,320 --> 02:36:07,160
Speaker 2: If you don't have somebody in your business group that

3179
02:36:07,240 --> 02:36:09,120
Speaker 2: can tell you that's a terrible idea, you need to

3180
02:36:09,120 --> 02:36:12,040
Speaker 2: get that person, like somebody. Okay. It's what I always

3181
02:36:12,040 --> 02:36:14,120
Speaker 2: say about just in general. Like in the music business,

3182
02:36:14,200 --> 02:36:16,640
Speaker 2: when you hear a terrible song on the radio, remember

3183
02:36:16,680 --> 02:36:18,520
Speaker 2: that somebody wrote it and turned it in and they're like,

3184
02:36:18,560 --> 02:36:20,440
Speaker 2: that's a great song. And then an artist was like, Oho,

3185
02:36:20,440 --> 02:36:22,120
Speaker 2: I want to I want to record that song, and

3186
02:36:22,200 --> 02:36:24,280
Speaker 2: a management company was a God, that's a hit, and

3187
02:36:24,280 --> 02:36:26,520
Speaker 2: the record labels like, oh God, we got to put

3188
02:36:26,520 --> 02:36:28,400
Speaker 2: this out. All of a sudden, it goes to radio

3189
02:36:28,480 --> 02:36:30,160
Speaker 2: stations to start playing it, Like it takes a lot

3190
02:36:30,200 --> 02:36:32,119
Speaker 2: of stupid people to make a bad song hit the world.

3191
02:36:32,200 --> 02:36:33,960
Speaker 2: And I look at that and I'm like, it takes

3192
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:37,360
Speaker 2: a lot of really, really, really uninformed people to turn

3193
02:36:37,360 --> 02:36:39,640
Speaker 2: around and decide that that idea was a good one.

3194
02:36:39,680 --> 02:36:42,160
Speaker 2: But putting the flag through the Baker Jerseys just felt

3195
02:36:42,680 --> 02:36:44,879
Speaker 2: it felt out of place. Petty. I'm in for Petty.

3196
02:36:44,959 --> 02:36:46,840
Speaker 2: I'm just not out and out of place. Petty doesn't

3197
02:36:46,840 --> 02:36:47,320
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense.

3198
02:36:47,360 --> 02:36:48,640
Speaker 1: There you go, if you do like a little bit

3199
02:36:48,640 --> 02:36:52,080
Speaker 1: of Patty and remember as one of the promos use

3200
02:36:52,160 --> 02:36:57,720
Speaker 1: the line pettiness knows no tax bracket like death. I

3201
02:36:57,879 --> 02:37:02,200
Speaker 1: bastardized my own phrase. But the idea of if you

3202
02:37:02,360 --> 02:37:05,440
Speaker 1: like a little bit of Tom Betty the series Bad Monkey,

3203
02:37:05,800 --> 02:37:08,720
Speaker 1: which just finished its first season, worth a binge for you,

3204
02:37:09,040 --> 02:37:12,440
Speaker 1: little Vince Vaughan action down in the Everglades. All right,

3205
02:37:12,560 --> 02:37:15,520
Speaker 1: let's heard of this Apple Plus.

3206
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:19,240
Speaker 2: I can't keep up again. I'm old man. I can't

3207
02:37:19,320 --> 02:37:21,600
Speaker 2: keep up with these sis. I gotta get Apple Plus now, Like.

3208
02:37:21,640 --> 02:37:24,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you got to. I'll tell you about some

3209
02:37:24,920 --> 02:37:27,320
Speaker 1: business dealings that they had. No question, we didn't do

3210
02:37:27,600 --> 02:37:29,680
Speaker 1: really any Jets because, let's face it, I do the

3211
02:37:29,720 --> 02:37:32,000
Speaker 1: show with Jason Smith. During the week, I talked about

3212
02:37:32,040 --> 02:37:37,320
Speaker 1: the Jets a lot, Buffalo New York and Buffalo versus

3213
02:37:37,320 --> 02:37:41,200
Speaker 1: the Jets. Two and a half points spread forty one

3214
02:37:41,520 --> 02:37:45,360
Speaker 1: is the total in this one Jets with Downing calling

3215
02:37:45,360 --> 02:37:47,920
Speaker 1: the plays. Is that enough to fix things?

3216
02:37:49,800 --> 02:37:52,560
Speaker 2: No? Look, we didn't talk enough about the Jets because

3217
02:37:52,560 --> 02:37:53,240
Speaker 2: the Jets suck.

3218
02:37:53,760 --> 02:37:55,280
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, there we go.

3219
02:37:55,720 --> 02:37:58,440
Speaker 2: We did talking about the Jets because we've spent how

3220
02:37:58,480 --> 02:38:01,240
Speaker 2: long talking about Aaron Rodgers when he wasn't even on

3221
02:38:01,280 --> 02:38:02,760
Speaker 2: a field and then he gets on a field and

3222
02:38:02,800 --> 02:38:04,879
Speaker 2: we realize that maybe he's not playing well enough to

3223
02:38:04,879 --> 02:38:07,400
Speaker 2: deserve to be talked about it anymore. And then Aaron

3224
02:38:07,440 --> 02:38:10,000
Speaker 2: Rodgers comes out and says that he is insulted by

3225
02:38:10,040 --> 02:38:12,520
Speaker 2: the implication that he had anything to do with any

3226
02:38:12,560 --> 02:38:14,720
Speaker 2: of this or any knowledge, when in fact, he sits

3227
02:38:14,720 --> 02:38:16,320
Speaker 2: in front of a microphone on one of the biggest

3228
02:38:16,320 --> 02:38:18,520
Speaker 2: shows in the world and never says anything that would

3229
02:38:18,560 --> 02:38:22,320
Speaker 2: stop these implications. I so tough. I'm exhausted. I have

3230
02:38:22,440 --> 02:38:25,480
Speaker 2: Jets fatigue, because when teams are as bad as the Jets,

3231
02:38:25,480 --> 02:38:27,840
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to talk about him anymore. They just suck.

3232
02:38:28,040 --> 02:38:30,280
Speaker 1: I did a really good job. I limited that to

3233
02:38:30,280 --> 02:38:32,840
Speaker 1: two minutes. I will also challenge you go back and

3234
02:38:32,879 --> 02:38:35,600
Speaker 1: watch that clip of Aaron Rodgers and then play Bill

3235
02:38:35,640 --> 02:38:37,959
Speaker 1: Clinton from back in the day. Tell me that the

3236
02:38:38,040 --> 02:38:39,800
Speaker 1: cadence is not the same.

3237
02:38:41,400 --> 02:38:43,240
Speaker 2: He should have been Vice President Rodgers.

3238
02:38:43,320 --> 02:38:46,480
Speaker 1: That's what we got out hang Out. We got Chargers

3239
02:38:46,480 --> 02:38:50,920
Speaker 1: in Denver, we got Spencer Rattler trying to solve the Buccaneers.

3240
02:38:50,959 --> 02:38:53,879
Speaker 1: More young quarterbacks as we go through a full slate

3241
02:38:53,920 --> 02:38:57,480
