And uh the end of 177 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: the week where college football dops its cap and says, hey, 178 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: we have all the attention for this run of five 179 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: seven days. The latest AP poll came out this week, 180 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: and to no surprise, Ohio State number one team in 181 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: the country. After beating Texas fourteen to seven. Last week. 182 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: They ascended number one. Other teams four top ten teams lost. 183 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: They didn't drop all that far, which is good when 184 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: wasn't a knee jerk re action to what we saw 185 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: first week of the season. Look, we saw some big games, 186 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: and clearly none was bigger on the field we talk 187 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: about in the standings and the rankings, then Ohio State 188 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: and Texas. And the funny thing is this is that 189 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: all the attention the last couple of days has been 190 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: on arch Manning, and rightfully so. Right arch Manning and 191 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick are the two stories of college football, and 192 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: arch Manning and his debut and how poorly he played 193 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: and what he has to do and what he has 194 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: to work on, and his arm angles and all of that. 195 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: I get that that was the complete total story. Ohio 196 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: State did not play well. Okay, Ohio State didn't play well. 197 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: Are we sure that Ohio State is good? Just saying 198 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: are we sure or what? Because we don't know if 199 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: Texas is good and Ohio State they were just sort 200 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: of hanging around like they didn't do a lot offensively. Yes, 201 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: defensively they played, but arch Manning missed a lot of throws. 202 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: It was not a well played game. And I get Look, 203 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: obviously arch Manning is a story. He's the rockstar college football. 204 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: But man, Ohio State coming off the championship, I get it, 205 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: But are we or that they're good because they didn't 206 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: look that great on Saturday. There's a couple other teams 207 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: that look better. And yes, it's one week one of 208 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: the season, but all of a sudden, hey here's Ohio 209 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: State number one. You expected a little bit more. If 210 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: they were that good, that'd be more sloppiness in the game, 211 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: be more offense in the game, and there wasn't. And 212 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: Julian saying didn't put up a lot offensively, and it 213 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: was just it wasn't a great game to watch when 214 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: we think these are two great teams. So I mean, 215 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: are we sure Ohio State is good? Because I don't 216 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: know that Ohio State's a great team. I'm gonna put 217 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: it this way. 218 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: I'll put it in terms because we try to grab 219 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: the sporting world in a giant hug. I felt like 220 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: I was watching a Floyd may Weather fight. 221 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 4: That he was gonna win. 222 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: He was holding up the other person for a few 223 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: rounds and I was gonna win. 224 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: But like we're just kind of dancing and watching the 225 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 3: clock tick away, not taking a lot of shots downfield, 226 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: not getting really creative and going for the jugular on 227 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 3: either side. Right, because for Julian saying right, he was 228 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: the number one quarterback the year after Arch or two 229 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: years after Arch. 230 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: Right. 231 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: So, young guy with a lot of expectations on I 232 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: know you had a lot. 233 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 4: Of attrition both sides. 234 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 3: You're losing players to the draft, to the portal and 235 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: all that stuff, new bodies whatever, some of it owing 236 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 3: to the you know, play it close, so don't take 237 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 3: a lot of chances to where you end up getting 238 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 3: run out the gym. Now, the fact that the lack 239 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 3: of creativity or taking the points whichever side you want 240 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: to go on in that third quarter possession where they 241 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: run the ball four straight times inside the Ohio State 242 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: ten and get stuffed, that was one where I'm just 243 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 3: standing there with my you know, shrugging, going what are 244 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: we doing? What I mean, absolutely nothing, no juice and 245 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 3: the play calling and certainly the excellence of execution on 246 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: the Ohio State side, but all of that to say 247 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: we danced and look at what it costs. Texas they're 248 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: number seven. 249 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, But the thing is is that, and this is 250 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: what gets me about this is that this is Ohio State, Texas. 251 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: This is a game that, hey, both teams need to 252 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: win this because this is a If we lose this game, 253 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: you only have so many losses till we can't put 254 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: you in the College Football Playoff anymore. Yeah, this is 255 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: a game, but this is But you know, Ohio State's 256 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: got some tough games this season, So I get that 257 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: when you're playing a take Michigan for example, right when 258 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: they go out and they play New Mexico, I get 259 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: how vanilla their offense was. They don't want to put 260 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: anything on tape for Oklahoma. Look, and no one's seen 261 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: outside of coaches, no one sees more mission games last 262 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: thirty years, and I have this is what they do. 263 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: They never put anything out there until they absolutely have to. 264 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: It's why when they play early in the season they 265 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: don't blow teams out by as much as you think, 266 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: because they don't put stuff out there until they get 267 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: to their first test. So, yeah, the offense was a 268 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: little vanilla, and Bryce Hunder was really good, but the 269 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: offense was vanilla. They didn't really do a ton And 270 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: I get that because what we're going to win this game, 271 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: and if we get to a point where things are 272 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: a little loose, we can make an adjustment, but ohiosea Texas, Hey, 273 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: you got to throw it all out there because you 274 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: lose this game all of a sudden, well, you only 275 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: have one more loss, maybe the rest of the way 276 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs, two more losses, maybe forget it. 277 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: You're out at three. Three is like that line of 278 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: demarcation where hey, two you should be able to stay 279 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: in in a Power five conference. Three I don't know. 280 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, you're one more away and 281 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: you have a tough schedule. So I expected to see 282 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: more creativity, more stuff, a little more of a normal 283 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: outside the box type game plan. And you had Sarkisian 284 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: at halftime telling arch Manning, hey, take what the defense 285 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,479 Speaker 1: gives you, don't try, and and Ohio State being incredibly 286 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: conservative unless they don't just don't trust Julian saying which 287 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: if they don't trust him, goes back to my first point. 288 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: Are we sure Ohio State's a great team? Because man, 289 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: I don't know about that, So you know, pay you 290 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: to say that? 291 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 2: No? 292 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: No, no, I said to Pants. 293 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 4: Did Pants pay you? 294 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 5: No? 295 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: No? They had an extra portion of no, no, I 296 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: need her putting an Ohio State loves me because I 297 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: said on Friday night. What if arch Manning sucks, what 298 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: does that mean for college football? He sucked on Saturday. 299 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: So you're welcome Ohio States and we give it. We 300 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: get uh so yeah, so they're okay, they want it 301 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: was a tough watch. They want to shout. They want 302 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: to know how State have like two order thirteen yard 303 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: they weren't great like they did or something. You see 304 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: these other one. 305 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 3: Throw he needed to tate. Yeah, forty yard touchdown mass 306 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 3: and that's it. There's your explosiveness. 307 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: But you saw these other teams that were all playing 308 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: top five, you know, two other top ten games, right, 309 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: and no, tre Dame still moved the football and looked 310 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: okay offensively against a really good Miami team. And Miami 311 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: did the same thing against Notre Dame. When when we 312 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: watched LSU and Clemson, even though it was seventeen ten, 313 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: Clemson still moved the football. LSU still moved the football. 314 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: They were able to do that. You can't sit here 315 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: and tell me the Texan Ohio States defenses are so good. 316 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: They're replacing so many players. You can't say, well, there 317 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: are two best defense in the country. Of course I 318 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: got no Week one. If you have any kind of 319 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: talent offensively, you should be able to exploit the defense 320 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm not saying it should have been 321 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: forty one forty, but it should have been a little bit. 322 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: But fourteen to seven, man, it's like, whoa, I get that. 323 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: The next couple of days belonged to arch Manning.

Not real observant about what's 423 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 5: going on, Michael irvins So but yeah, like it's been 424 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 5: a wild it's been a wild setup to the season. 425 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 5: Can't wait as he did, Alice get crushed by about 426 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 5: thirty an opening night.

You really can't beat what happened last night, 431 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 5: you know, like and just the Jordan Hudson means and 432 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 5: it just it was out of control last night. I 433 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 5: just went on and went, this is bad for Bill. 434 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 5: This is really really bad for Bill. But yeah, the 435 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 5: person that I really think it's even worse for is 436 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 5: and who's not really getting the quote unquote credit he deserves, 437 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 5: as Michael Lombardi. Who if you know, when you talk 438 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 5: to agents who represent these high school and college kids 439 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 5: now as they moved their way around the country looking 440 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 5: for nil dollars, like the person that they that they 441 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 5: were sort of laughing at the most in terms of 442 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 5: his his arrogance was Michael Lombardy. He was like he 443 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: just he believed that they were going to reinvent college 444 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 5: football inside of the first three months. Yeah, we know 445 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 5: what we're doing here. Yeah, we don't judge players. And 446 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 5: somebody is so full of himself and you know, you 447 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 5: had the books that came out and all this other stuff. 448 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 5: But I feel bad for Bill because I actually liked Bill, 449 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 5: but he kind of deserved it after everything that happened 450 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 5: in the offseason and the way that this is all 451 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 5: played out. He kind of you kind of look at 452 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 5: it and go, Yeah, that's the come up that the 453 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 5: world was looking for for Bill Belichick, and there. 454 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 3: It is, And in forty eight hours we'll see Jerry 455 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 3: Jones front and center. Can the offense score enough to 456 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 3: at least make the game interesting? 457 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 5: Yeah? Score? Okay, I mean I can't run, but they 458 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 5: weren't gonna be able to run against Jalen Carter in 459 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 5: the rest of that group anyway, So you know, kind 460 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 5: of who cares, Like, Okay, let's just open up up 461 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 5: in five wides and just go for it, especially now 462 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 5: that you have Pickens and Lamb. The question really is, 463 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 5: at one point in the game, will George Pickens quit 464 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 5: on a route? And what will Dak Prescott do? Like, 465 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 5: that's what I really want to know, because George Pikets 466 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 5: is good for quitting on a route minimum one time game, 467 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 5: especially in a big game when it's televised, you just 468 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 5: know that he's going to sit there and go you 469 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 5: expect me, that's that. Yeah, it was like within reach. Yeah, 470 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 5: we expect we expected to at least run the route out, 471 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 5: you know, Like I still remember the one against San 472 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 5: Francisco where he's running a deep route and he blamed 473 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 5: Picket for it, right, like Picket halls back and it 474 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 5: was like the one play they had and Piketts quit 475 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 5: on the route. It was like it was a bomb. 476 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 5: Like he was scored against San Francisco that was in 477 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 5: the opener two years ago. What are you doing, man? 478 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 5: Like run the route out? So Pickens Pickings to quit 479 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 5: on a route awesome, literally looking for that. We can 480 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 5: I bet that. 481 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have the right time we get. 482 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: That is there? Can I go to Vegas and bet 483 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: that George Pickens quits on a route? 484 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 5: Like how do I? I think? Yeah, I think if 485 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 5: you go to Caesar So get that on the board. 486 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 5: The other one is the whatever the logic that comes 487 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 5: out of Jerry Jones. My favorite tweet of the week 488 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 5: in the aftermath of the Michael Parkinger trades is Jerry 489 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 5: Jones talking about, you know how we need to upgrade 490 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 5: the run defense and this isn't going to help us, 491 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 5: and help us and help us, and ed Warder just 492 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 5: comes in with the tweet bomb going they didn't draft 493 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 5: anybody who plays along the interior defensive line until the 494 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 5: sixth round this last year. So it obviously was not 495 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 5: a priority earlier in the offseason when you could really 496 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: do something about it. 497 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: Now, look when the night that happened, we said, Jerry, Jerry, 498 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: how do I defend this? And it sounds like they 499 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: just realized, Oh, we have to stop the run. Didn't 500 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: do it in free agency, didn't do it in the draft, 501 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: but all of a sudden, Oh, you gotta stop the run, 502 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: gotta go get that. Yeah, that's why we had to 503 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: make this trade that was going to happen. 504 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: The way you stop the run is outscoring people. That's 505 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 5: how you do it. You force the other team to 506 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 5: have to throw. That's what you do. That's how the 507 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 5: NFL works today. Like stopping the run like it was 508 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 5: in the in the eighties and the seventies, that's not 509 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 5: a thing anymore. It's just not It's that's gone. Like 510 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 5: if you give up a few yards on the ground, 511 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 5: you give one hundred yards in a game, you're okay. 512 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 5: As long as you get your goal has to be 513 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 5: get to get up by these ten points so you 514 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 5: can force the other team to stop running. That's how 515 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 5: you play this game this year, and so all the 516 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 5: Jerry stuff is just it's just a Michi goosh, michi gosh. 517 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 5: Like there we go. That's a good word. 518 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: So we Actually that's the name of the agent that 519 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: talked to for a part. It was it was Michigosh 520 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: and he just said, you got to call me for 521 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: a contract, and I said, I didn't have to. The 522 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: rules say it's not technically illegal. So I had a 523 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: handshake deal. 524 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 5: Okay, let's moving along. 525 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 4: All right. 526 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: You know, by the way, you know, my Jerry Jones 527 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: impression is getting better because he's coming back to me now. 528 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: The older he is getting, he sounds a lot more 529 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: like me doing an impression of him.

What was the question? 553 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 5: I was about the Chargers and Chiefs. 554 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 3: We're just talking about how miserable the field is and 555 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 3: what we expect from Harbaugh. Can he get justin Herbert 556 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 3: actually slinging the ball or we played defense and run 557 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 3: run again. 558 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 5: I think they probably rather play this alligatory alcatraz at 559 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 5: this point. 560 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 7: But wow, wow, oh boy. 561 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 5: I mean, look, people just don't understand like these which 562 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 5: is really important thing is to get right, like especially 563 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 5: when you're dealing with professional athletes. So the fact that 564 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 5: they go and they play these games on fields that 565 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 5: just are not very good, it always just balls me. 566 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 5: It's like you spend millions upon millions of dollars on 567 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 5: athletes and making sure everything's supposed to be right, and 568 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 5: then you go play in a place where it's got 569 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: a crappy field, Like, can't you get this right? You know, like, 570 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 5: how many times does this happen? Last year it happened. 571 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 5: It's happened in Mexico City more than more than once. Yeah, 572 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 5: it even happened in Camon you know at the Hall 573 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 5: of Fame. The Hall of Fame game was it was 574 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 5: canceled one because of the Yeah, the Hall of Fame. 575 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 4: You really push that. 576 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 3: You know what happens eight or nine times a year 577 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 3: at Soldier Field with the Chicago Park Parks Department running 578 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: that place. 579 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 5: It well, yeah, which makes explain what the uh the 580 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 5: mccaskeys are doing at this point in time. But have 581 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 5: they reached a deal on that? I lost track of that. 582 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 5: Do they have a deal yet in Chicago and what 583 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 5: they're going to do or do we know we're still fighting. 584 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: You still have all the politicians that are trying to say, well, 585 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: it's still in Cook County. 586 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 5: So. 587 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 4: Technically it's over here. It's still in that zone. 588 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 5: Some of us still in the Cook zone. As long 589 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 5: as it's like it's still in the frying pan. Okay, No, 590 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 5: I think I like Chiefs and Chiefs and Chargers. I 591 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 5: love this game. I love Yeah, I just there wasn't 592 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 5: this potential distraction of being on a horrible field. You know, 593 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 5: it's start of like last year when you had the 594 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 5: Eagles and Green Bay playing that game, and it was 595 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 5: it was a really good game, and then all of 596 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 5: a sudden, it's like the sidelight is the fields just choppy? 597 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 5: Is I'll get out. You'd like to have a better quality, 598 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 5: and you'd also like to have a division game like this, 599 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 5: not farmed out like if you know, like if it 600 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 5: was the Chiefs playing against you know one, I can 601 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 5: see farm in that game out because you'll draw with 602 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 5: that game no matter what. But but why do you 603 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 5: have to send the Chiefs and Chargers, you know, you know, 604 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 5: outside outside the country. I don't quite. I don't play 605 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 5: to get them.
