The back room, guys, they have their fantasy team. 41 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: They have the fantasy draft coming up later today. Fifty 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: dollars buy him and Marvin won last year's Fantasy League, 43 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: and everybody paid except for one person, and that was Mario. 44 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: Do we have a comment from Mario? All right, Dan, 45 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: So I talked to Mario in the bag and it 46 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: was me him in weeks, our camera guy, and Mario said, 47 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: you're missing one big you know, one big part. Okay. 48 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: So we did a weight loss challenge maybe last summer 49 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: and Mario one and so it was one hundred dollars 50 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: and I paid him over like a four month span. 51 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Its yeah, basically, and so I was like, you know what, 52 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to rush with pay me, you know, 53 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: the fifty dollars. But now we're almost to this season, 54 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: so I kind of want my money now because I 55 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: gave you like a full year almost, you know, whenever 56 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: the season I did, you know, six seven months, so 57 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: purposely withholding this correct Okay, Yeah, that does change a 58 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: story at touch, because according to the statement from Mario, 59 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: last year, I wiped the floor with everyone in the 60 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: weight loss challenge. Everyone paid me except for Marvin. It 61 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: took him four to five months to give set payments. 62 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: So I think this is like a little payback light payback, yes, 63 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: more or not. Payback absolutely, but I want my money 64 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: now though it's payback without paying back. See what I 65 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: did with that more? But I would say if if 66 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: Mario doesn't pay by today, later today, when this show ends, 67 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: then probably shouldn't be in the Fantasy league. Yeah. See 68 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: how much money is? I think it's only fair. I mean, 69 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: he's proved his point. Okay, we got it, but I 70 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: think it's now tied to pony up the fifty bucks. Yeah. See, 71 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: I like when yeah, we go to break and it's 72 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: not like a bombshell like that is revealed and you 73 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: go in the back and all of a sudden, everybody 74 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: is in Mario, is this story true? I know they're 75 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: all giving him great yelling down the hallway to him. 76 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: I knew he wouldn't pay, And then Mario's like, I 77 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: got I have a reason why, And I'm like, all right, 78 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: So I figured Paulie would get the I team on 79 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: that and uh and he has done, of course, just that. 80 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: Jeff and Detroit leads us off this hour. Hi, Jeff, 81 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? One time Chat Road two 82 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: Top of the Backbound Brows had a good weekend so 83 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: much so there that yesterday, I'm listening on Serious and 84 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: that rerunning yourself, but I'm thinking this actual you guys, 85 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to call it. You know, man, listen, you 86 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: guys were talking about nine baths, four bathrooms. I couldn't 87 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: be the only one that's thinking to that self. Y 88 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: will probably really love that house. I like, I haven't 89 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: do that in my house. We don't have a lot 90 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: of baths, but I like to kind of spread things around. 91 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, so to speak, you know. Russell 92 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: Wilson Junior, the third they have four bedrooms twenty thousand 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: square foot home. There's seven full baths and then there's 94 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: five half baths. Why why not? Yeah, yes, but four 95 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: bedrooms and nine spots for a car seems a little Yes, 96 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: more than double more parking spots in your garage than 97 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: you do full time, full bath more than twice. Yes, yes, yes, 98 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: but they strike me as a couple who might have 99 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people around them at all times. So 100 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: maybe you need a lot of parking. But that maybe 101 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: those people go to sleep in their own place, but 102 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: they're around the house all day. So there's a lot 103 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: of people who need to use bathrooms and need parking. Spots. Yes, exactly, exactly. Yeah. 104 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Is that a dining room or a conference room could 105 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: be either. He's the Bill's wide receiver, former Vikings fifth 106 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: round pick out of Maryland and one of our favorites. 107 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs great appearance when we saw him in Minneapolis, 108 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 1: of course, the Minneapolis Miracle and they got the defending 109 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs coming up this Thursday night and he 110 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: joins us on behalf of Sacks SA x X. They 111 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: have something called Chief Ball Officers and yes it is underwear. 112 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a moment. Stefan, Welcome back 113 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: to the program. I'm I'm curious you got game on 114 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: Thursday night. How often do you go back into the 115 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: huddle and you say to Josh Allen, hey, how about 116 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: we do this or maybe we don't do this anymore? 117 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: With Josh not so much, because he's the person coming 118 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: to me like this, Hey, let's do this right here, Mike. 119 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: I can't say exactly what he says, but he'd be 120 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: like this Frundes and saying, well, it's a it's a 121 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: lot of it's a lot of improv with me and Josh, 122 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: because I mean, I feel like we've been together with 123 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: for ten years playing wide receiver and quarterback. But we 124 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: built enough chemistry that owned the field. Like if he 125 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: likes something that he sees something, I got confidence in 126 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: him because he saw it. I'm saying. He's coming from 127 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and if I like something, I'm telling like, hey, 128 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: I want this right here. He's all right. It's not 129 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: too much. It's not too much of a brace him 130 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: or a friction between me and him. It's more like, Okay, 131 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: let's make it work. We'll figure it out. So so, yeah, 132 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: are you more concerned you offensively about Jalen Ramsey or 133 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald? Make sure of both. You gotta know that 134 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: they're both can be the handful of that time. They're 135 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: both could be all of a players at any given time. 136 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: They can change the game. So uh, As a receiver, 137 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, I'm more so a lot of worried about 138 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: demand in front of me. But you back of your mind, 139 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: you gotta know that there's a lot of pressure being 140 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: taking place. You just gotta trust your online. I trust 141 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: my online, I trust my quarterback. I gotta just get open. 142 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: My quarterback job sold me to get open to catch 143 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: the ball. So I just try my best at doing that? Okay, 144 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: what happens if Josh takes off and then you have 145 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: to block and Aaron Donald is chasing after Josh and 146 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: you m, I'm I'm gonna run through the wall for 147 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: him every time, and Aaron Donald being in the wall. 148 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: What was Saron Gotta? What was your welcome to the 149 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: NFL moment? Good or bad? Um? I think in a 150 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: preseason we played the Cowboys and I had like ran 151 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: like a post and then guy was left inside and 152 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: the ball was kind of inside and I tried to 153 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: catch the ball with my body instead of my hands, 154 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: and they picked it and I was like, yeah, I've 155 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: never tried to catch the ball like that, and then 156 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: I was just trying to put my hands on rather 157 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: than a body catching. But it was like so many 158 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: little things, like just little things like that that kind 159 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: of picked me, especially my rookie year. I took my 160 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: lumps my rookie year, and I learned a lot and 161 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: I had success as a rookie, but not as much 162 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: as I would have would have won it. And I 163 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: liked you so as far as like opportunity was, I 164 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: just started howning in on. Okay, every opportunity I get. 165 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: I gotta take full advantage of it. How much advice 166 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: did you give your brother when he first came into 167 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: the league. Whole lot, a whole lot, as far as 168 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: like how to carry yourself, um, how to approach being 169 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: a pro, um, how guys will see you, and how 170 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: guys will look at you. My brother is is somewhat 171 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: like me, but he's a he's a different sign and 172 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's the baby other family. So he was 173 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: he had a little bit. He was a little different. 174 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: He said, I'm a probably a little bit more outgoing 175 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: to My brother's a little bit more shot, and he 176 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: doesn't know. My brother might not even talk to you. 177 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: So um for me, I just I just try to 178 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: give him some things that hang has had on going 179 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: into campus as far as like, um, growing as a player, 180 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: especially when you're young and your your first season, you 181 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't be really doing too much talking, just more so working, 182 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: putting it on display, prove that you can U. You 183 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: not only can play in this league, but you can 184 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: be a good teammate too. So he took, he took 185 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: he to he had a he had a he had 186 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: a solid first ship, but then I him in that 187 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: second year, I really had a couple of conversations with 188 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: him about making that second year jump, and I, in 189 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: my opinion, he made the jump as far as like 190 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: having some success because his first year he had got 191 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: his hands on like eight eight balls and dropped like 192 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: five of them. So I was like, all right, if 193 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: you only can catch half, though, you'll be fine. So 194 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: he ended up catching more than half, so I was 195 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: I was so proud of him. You only want to 196 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: teach him so much if you ever face off against him, right, Yeah, 197 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: I'm not really never. I'm not too concerned about I 198 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: give him the game, you know, like, uh, my grandmother 199 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: used to make, used to make what she used to 200 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: make me. But then I put him, you know, and 201 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: even if she gave my mom in the rescue peach, 202 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: my mom still wouldn't have been able to make it 203 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: how she can make it. So you know, it's all good. 204 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: I love that. But you know, you came in. I 205 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you had a chip on your shoulder. 206 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: What were you have? A fifth round draft pick? Yeah, 207 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: I had the biggest toasted on my right shoulder. It 208 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: was it was definitely something looking back, like, I'm in 209 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: a different I'm in a different Uh, I'm in a 210 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: different chapter in my life now, but I dam I'm 211 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: sure came in with a different kind of chip just 212 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: because you know, it's just when you when you feel 213 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: like you're challenged and you feel like, uh, you missed 214 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: out on some stuff, like as far as like my opportunity. 215 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I got hurt a little bit in 216 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: college and I didn't never want to make any excuses 217 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: for the thing that I had going on. Um, but 218 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: when I got that opportunity in NFL, was just like damn, 219 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: like I finally got my shot, my real shot to 220 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: to succeed, and you know, it's a really blossom. So 221 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: it was it was like it was, it was it's 222 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: a feel good story at this point. But then, so 223 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: your father died, what were you fourteen? Yes, sir, so 224 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: you got to grow up quickly. And then are you 225 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: kind of a father figure in the house a little bit? Yeah? Yeah, 226 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: not a little bit more so if you if you 227 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: ask my younger siblings, I didn't. I did it the 228 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: best round I knew how as far as like leading 229 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: by example. So I'm not saying that I was perfect, 230 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: but I definitely showed we call it a blueprint me 231 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: and me and my siblings, especially now because he hasn't 232 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: signed a little aiden and I got a daughter. I 233 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: want a boy too. But as far as like the 234 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: blueprint of showing kids that it's okay to to develop toughness, 235 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: it's okay to you know, love them, it's okay to 236 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, bring them, bring them to the deep end, 237 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: behold day hand too, because you know, nobody wants to 238 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: really have to do anything alone and it's better to 239 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: have a learning kurt with somebody rather than by yourself. 240 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: So for me, I was just trying to lead by example. 241 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: Started off for a discipline and commitment to the thing 242 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: that I that I wanted to do, and plinting football. 243 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: He's Stephan Diggs, the Bill's wide receiver, joining us on 244 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: behalf of Sacks Chief Ball Officers. So all right, we're 245 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: talking underwear chief ball officers here. Um, what was your 246 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: reaction when somebody says, hey, I got a product called 247 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Sacks and it's about underwear. Well it was. It was 248 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of different conversation, but I definitely when 249 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: I first had the conversation, I felt like it was 250 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: a easy fit for me, especially considering I played wide receiver. 251 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: I catch passes. I somewhat deal with Boss to the 252 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: same extent. Before this this new career, I had a 253 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: new job at PA, so I was like, all right, 254 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: that's not bad. And the fact that I had my 255 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: brother with me, I think I couldn't have done it 256 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: with anybody else but my brothers. It was. It was 257 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: a great fit. I wanted to ask you about the 258 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: back to school giveaway that you were handing out backpacks 259 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: and this was filled with supplies and gift cards. So 260 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: you went to tops where the mass shooting happened in 261 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo earlier this year. How did that impact you? And 262 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: then this call of duty that you felt it was? 263 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: It was real heavy last time we visit, because you 264 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: know when it happened, it was an off season, and 265 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: you know my team. I'm thankful to be on the 266 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: team that I'm more because everybody who you know, considering 267 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: everybody has a busy offseason or has this then the 268 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: third going or our whole team was there. Our whole team, 269 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: whether you flew back, whether you wherever you are, we 270 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: all felt the need to come back and spend that 271 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: time that in that community. So when we got there, 272 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: we're just so heavy. I feel like this spirit was heavy. 273 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot that had took place, and 274 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: as a player, you know what I'm saying, you're not 275 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: in You're not you might not be we're not shopping. 276 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: You might not shop at the grocery store. You might 277 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: insta cart, or you might do this. No, you might 278 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: not do the run in the middle things. But in 279 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: the back of your mind, you can guess the people 280 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: that do my mom My mom shops at the store, 281 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: and my daughter close to the grocery store. My sibling 282 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. So even if you're directly 283 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: not doing those active things, are doing XYZ. Your family 284 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: is said, then it could be anybody where to her mom, 285 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: but or cousin, or anybody who was at the top 286 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: to the top. So sorry, it just felt like something 287 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: that I wanted to take a step back from my 288 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: own life and be like, how can we go back 289 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: in this community and you know, uplift some spirits. How 290 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: can we go back into this community and make a difference. 291 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: So at this point, hopefully it's something that I can 292 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: do annually, but it was my goal and initiative was 293 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: go back and you know, try to impact those kids, 294 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: try to impact those that were directly affected in the situations, 295 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: who lost out on who lost out on Simmons, or 296 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: poor caretakers or providers. So for me, it was not 297 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: only called a duty and I said it. I said 298 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: it not too longer. I feel like I'm doing my 299 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: due diligence because I am a part of Buffalo's community 300 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: and I will be there for some years, hopefully hopefully 301 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: a lifetime. But it's something that I felt like, not 302 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: only I should continue to carry on trying to make 303 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: my community better, but something that I should bring along 304 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: some people as well. How often does somebody bring up 305 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: the Minneapolis miracle? I get it, probably, like I used 306 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: to get it at least once a week back in 307 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years back. But now I get it 308 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: when I meet new people or they have something that 309 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: they think of my name, like this man that catch 310 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: you had in Minnesota. Man, it was crazy. I was like, yeah, 311 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: I've had some better years since then, So I'm not 312 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: trying to put that in the past or nothing, but 313 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: things things not going too bad at my new place. 314 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: You're easy to root for. I wish you well good 315 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: luck against the Rams on Thursday night, and thanks for 316 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: joining us. Thanks. I appreciate a nice starting with you, 317 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs. I like that, he says, as a wide receiver, 318 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: I somewhat deal with balls to a certain extent. Thank you, Todd. 319 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: That's a good promotional fit with that fact thing that 320 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: is doing. Yeah, maybe he should send something. Maybe we 321 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: could model the underwear. Maybe we could uh that, maybe 322 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: our next calendar like Victoria's secret testicle them out of 323 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: something like that. I don't actually pretty good. Okay, all righty, 324 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: let's take a break. Not the thing where we all 325 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: do that. No, no, no, I have a couple of them, 326 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: and it's just best we go right to commercial break 327 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: because that's what we should seem to be having a 328 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: ball talker.

And he was on the 373 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: call for Florida State LSU on Sunday night. Greg, good 374 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: to have you back. Who did more to lose the 375 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: game LSU or Florida State. All they say, more games 376 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: are lost than one, right, Dan, And I mean, I'm 377 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: sure there was a better example of that in Week 378 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: one than what we saw there in New Orleans, a 379 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: cacophony of airs. But I would honestly say the game 380 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: should have been comfortably in favor of Florida's State, whether 381 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: you look at the fourth and two or they went 382 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: for it early as opposed to taking the points after 383 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: they dropped the first punt, the fumble at the end 384 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: zone at the very end as they're putting the game 385 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: on ice, that those two plays right there, I mean 386 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: those are fourteen points. I mean the games should have 387 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: been sideways in favor of FSU. So I would say 388 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: that that LSU made more mistakes and FSU's inability to 389 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: really take advantage of those we were kind of troubling it, 390 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: to be completely honest. You play the position of quarterback 391 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: that call comes in where it's a pitch down by 392 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: the goal line, which I don't understand the logic that 393 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: you would have anything other than take a knee kick 394 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: of field goal or just hand it to him and 395 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: let your running back take Help me understand what that 396 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: play was or what it should have been. Well, I'm 397 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: one hundred percent with you, and we had a rule 398 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: at all levels of football the ball never went in 399 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: the air backwards along the goal line. It just there's 400 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: absolutely no reason for it. Now they ran that play 401 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: earlier in the game, you get into a muddle huddle, 402 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: it's try to create gaps they have unbalanced set to 403 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: the right and just pitch it out. But there's just 404 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,239 Speaker 1: too many things that can potentially go wrong as the 405 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: field condenses. So I think it makes absolutely no sense. 406 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: Like some coaches are willing to put the ball in 407 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: the air, but I as a conservative player and understanding 408 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: the circumstances of the game, a field goal ends it. 409 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you're about twenty five remaining. I actually thought 410 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: that there was a real reason for LSU to let 411 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: them score because I think that the odds, if you 412 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: played odds, and statistically, speaking from an analytical standpoint, I 413 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: have a better chance of coming down coming back from 414 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: two touchdowns than I do stopping them at the one 415 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: yard line from kicking a field goal. So I mean 416 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: the odds actually would say, hey, let them score, then 417 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: get our offense on the field, go down two minute kicking, 418 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: onto kick, go down to it again, but either way, 419 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it just made absolutely no sense. So the 420 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: risk far outweighed the reward. And if they would have 421 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: just handed it off and kicked the field goal, it's game, 422 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: set match. Give me the team, give me the school 423 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: that played its way out of the final four. Already, 424 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to say play your way out, but Utah 425 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: would be the team that would that would come to mind. 426 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: And it's not because they can't potentially win twelve in 427 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: a row and get back into the playoff mix. I 428 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: think that's possible. It's but what I was most disappointed Dan, 429 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: and I don't know if you felt the same way, 430 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: but when you talk all off season about a team 431 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: strength being their front seven defensively, and that front seven 432 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: defensively looked average, that's a little concerning. If you look 433 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: at Florida, for instance, and now it's new coach, new regime, 434 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: all its other stuff, it's fine, but Florida's offensive line 435 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: the last five or six years has been less than stellar. 436 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: They've gotten by with smoking mirrors and Dan Mullin's run 437 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: scheme would occasionally get good run yardage, but this has 438 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: not been a mauling group. To see Florida's offensive line 439 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: for the first time in five years mauling people off 440 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage was eye opening, especially knowing that 441 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be Utah's greatest strength. So I think 442 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: they can still get back in the mix, but the 443 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: likelihood of them going twelve in a row, I think 444 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: is almost an impossibility at this point. Notre Dame, can 445 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: you have a good loss this early in the season 446 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: and still be in the hunt very much so. I 447 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: mean we've seen Ohio State, for instance, twenty fourteen, lose 448 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: Week two. They look awful Week one against Navy One. 449 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: Week two they lost to Virginia Tech by two touchdowns. 450 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: They rallied to win thirteen a row. But that's the 451 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: type of personnel Ohio State has. I think what I 452 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: was most troubled by is Notre Dame really lacked a 453 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: ton of explosiveness as far as their offensive weapons are concerned. 454 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: Not that they ever really not that we expected them 455 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: to be super elite a wide receiver, but I was 456 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: kind of disappointed. I mean, this is an Ohio State 457 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: team that really hasn't been great on defense the last 458 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: couple of years. I know, that they're starting over with 459 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: a new defensive coordinator in Jim Knowles, but I've just 460 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: thought that there would be more firepower from Notre Dame. 461 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, they can get back in the mix. But 462 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: I just don't think you can win like Wisconsin wins 463 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: every week and you know, expect to get to the 464 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: college football Playoff. But you can't just grind out W's 465 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. I mean, you can, 466 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a team who catches fire offensively, 467 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: and if you can't keep up in a shootout, it's 468 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: gonna be a problem. So I was impressed by what 469 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: they did defensively, but offensively, I'm not sure they have 470 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: they have the horsepower to get it done. Speaking of which, 471 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Oregon against Georgia, that I mean, that's that would be 472 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: a no show basically, like you're there in body, but 473 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're there in mind and soul. 474 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: What happened was that, Like what was your impressions of 475 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: I mean, Georgia looked like a finely tuned machine that 476 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: was for a week one game against a decent opponent 477 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: that was clinic real. It was. It was unbelievable. What 478 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: didn't I mean, have you ever seen a team come 479 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: out guns and blazing like that against a solid competition. Well, 480 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: it made me wonder just how good Oregon is because 481 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: I have my downs about Georgia just replacing everybody, but 482 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: still they're still replacing people with people that everybody else 483 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: in the country wanted. Stetson Bennett, you know, he's just 484 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: one of those guys that you go, all right, he 485 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: just kind of gets it done, kind of like you 486 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: in college. He just gets it done kind of a 487 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: Stetson is just kind of a baller I mean, like 488 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: you know, it's like one of those guys. It feels 489 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: like he's gonna get done with the game and know, 490 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: go go to the frat house and you know, drink 491 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: a case of beer. Like he's just such a guy, 492 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: like you know he's but you just he's a baller 493 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 1: man like he is. He just makes plays and I 494 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: think he's very creative. He can make the off schedule play. 495 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: But he played in rhythm the other night. And their 496 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: weapons are ridiculous. I mean they're off. I mean, they 497 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: got tight ends. There's third best tight end might be 498 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: you know, one of the best tight ends in America, 499 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: and that's Derek Gilbert. There are other two tight ends, 500 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: Brock bowers Is he's literally Travis Kelsey and they're the 501 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: same guy. I mean, they're just unbelievable athleticism, and then 502 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: they have a tackle basically tackle body he's sticks eight 503 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: two eighty and Darnella Washington who can run and plays 504 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 1: tight end. So I mean they're they're wet, and then 505 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: their weapons on the outside are ridiculous. Their running backs 506 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: aren't might be better this year, and that's staying a 507 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 1: lot because I thought James Cook, who is with Buffalo now, 508 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a phenomenal rookie year. So 509 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: I just think I'm I mean, it's it's unbelievable to 510 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: watch what they did the other day, and nobody wants 511 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: to wants to play Georgia if they're playing like that. 512 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: Talking to Greg McElroy, ESPN, ABC College Football analyst, he'll 513 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: be on the call with Kentucky and Florida this Saturday 514 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: when you guys would get ready at Alabama for a cupcake, 515 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: North Texas, Florida International, Chatowanooga. What was Nick Saban's pregame 516 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: speech with those games as opposed to facing Auburn. Oh, 517 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: he was much harder on you those weeks. You know, 518 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: playing Auburn, it's like, all right, guys, hey, let's go 519 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: out there and play hard, you know. But against Tennessee Chat, 520 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: it's like, if you guys don't do this, this, this, 521 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: you're losing this week. Like you know it, Like Dan, 522 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: it's the craziest thing. And you know, I think coach 523 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: and like every any coach you're you know, they're little 524 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: kind of minor in psychology, right. I can vividly remember 525 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: teeing it up against Tennessee Chattanooga. We were ten and 526 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: oh in two thousand and nine, played in the second 527 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: to last week of the season. I can vividly remember 528 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: taking the field being like, we better play well today. 529 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: Like I mean, so you bought dabs. He convinces you that. 530 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: It's like I don't. And I now my senior year 531 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: I was, I wasn't quite as naive. Uh you know, 532 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: we're playing against you know, Georgia State or whoever it was. 533 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, we're gonna smoke these guys, Like 534 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: let's just get out of this thing healthy. Um. But 535 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: playing against Tennessee Chat in my junior year, I mean, 536 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: he can just he knows how to press your buttons 537 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: to the point in which you're never comfortable. You're always uneasy, 538 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: and when you're uneasy against a team like that, the 539 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: urgency kind of elevates a little bit. And you know 540 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: he's always gonna say we're gonna play our standard and 541 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: all this other stuff. So the messaging is is clear. 542 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: If you don't play well, you will be replaced, regardless 543 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: of who the opponent is. What do you see with 544 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: with USC the timetable of them coming back into prominence. 545 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: I think we are so far out in front of 546 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: our skis right now with SC people saying they're a 547 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: playoff team, people saying there they are all these other 548 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: things that they might very well be, but it's gonna 549 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,959 Speaker 1: be by a process of elimination in the Pac twelve. 550 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: Like if they make it to the college football Playoff, 551 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be because they beat a bunch of teams 552 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: that probably probably aren't elite in an effort to get there. 553 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: But SC, if you have a quarterback, you have a 554 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: chance right always, And they have an elite quarterback, I mean, 555 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is phenomenal as a couple of years of 556 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: eligibility left, but He'll be a top five pick, no 557 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Game changer. But what I was most 558 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: impressed with the other day was their ball hawking mentality 559 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: on defense. And look, Oklahoma had their fair share of 560 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: ups and downs in Lincoln Riley's tenure on the defensive side, 561 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: but I actually think they got it right with the 562 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: higher It's just gonna take a couple of years at 563 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: Oklahoma to kind of change the culture. But the defensive 564 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: culture at SC has been lethargic for a really long time. 565 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: That was probably one of the more inspired defensive performances 566 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: I've seen. I know it is Rice like, let's not 567 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: get carried away, but you have three picks sixes. I 568 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: mean there's something to be said there. That was the 569 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: first time they've had in multiple pick sixes in the 570 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: game I think in like twenty years, and they had 571 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: I believe one defensive touchdown last year. They had three 572 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: in the first game of the Lincoln Riley the era. 573 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: So I think they're ahead of schedule. But for us 574 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: to now starting to starting to lump them in with 575 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: the best teams in college football, they've got a long 576 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: way to go before they get there. We always crown 577 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: of September Heisman, and it might be Anthony Richardson, the 578 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: Florida quarterback. It feels like the guy who is unbelievable 579 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: in September and maybe not so much in December. Although 580 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm hearing great things about Richardson that he could be 581 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: a top ten draft pick. I mean, is that far 582 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: fetched that he was behind Kyle Trask and that guy 583 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: could be, you know, a higher draft pick than Trask. No, 584 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: because I mean we've seen that before. I mean, like 585 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky was now make what make of it? What 586 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: you what you will? I mean he was a backup 587 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: until the senior year behind a guy that was mobile, 588 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: because he was a better fit for the offense. So 589 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's just while Trask was a good player, 590 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: was an accurate thrower, I think the more unjustifiable guy 591 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: that was in front of him on the depth chart 592 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: was Emory Jones. He was the starter throughout all of 593 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: last year, and Anthony Richardson played at times, but probably 594 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: should have been the guy from the jump based on 595 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: what we've seen when I watched this guy Stevens Young. 596 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: People have compared him to Cam Newton, people have compared 597 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: him to Tebow I don't see it that way at all. 598 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: I think Tebow was a power runner. He was essentially 599 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: a fullback, you know, playing quarterback. And then Cam was 600 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: a little bit more physical as well, where it's most 601 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: going to be about his raw power and he's gonna 602 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: pick up your five and six yards now he can 603 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: get in the open field. But Cam was more physically 604 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: imposing when I watched Anthony Richardson, as see Vince Young 605 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: because of the fluidity and the effortless nature with how 606 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: he kind of goes about his business. I mean, it's 607 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: just he's so fluid and he's moved. He doesn't even 608 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: look like he's running, but he's faster than anyone on 609 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: the field. He can just the way his body and 610 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: his head moves and his arm moves and just everything. 611 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: If you watched them side by side, the comparison is 612 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: it's unique, just how similar they are now. I would 613 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: also compare him to a sophomore Vince Young. And I 614 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: grew up in Dallas and went to the Texas Oklahoma 615 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: game every year, so I watched Vince Young come of 616 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: age over the course of a four year period, and 617 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: Vince Young is a sophomore is about where Anthony Richardson 618 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: is the freak show athleticisms on display every week. But 619 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: there's also a certain he's a little erradic at times 620 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: in the passing game. He isn't great on the downfield throws, 621 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: but it's in there, so it's coming. It's just that's 622 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: the path that he's on right now. So yes, he will, 623 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: I think in time be a super elite multidimensional player, 624 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: but right now he's just such a god given athlete. 625 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: It's just incredible to watch. Before I let you go, 626 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: I mentioned this in the first hour of the program, 627 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: that we're going to twelve teams by twenty twenty six 628 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: unless they break the contract and then they move this 629 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: up a little bit sooner. But that's a lot of 630 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: time in college football because a lot of things happen quickly. 631 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if it's a three year window here, 632 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if there's a restructuring of college football 633 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: over three years to get us to this twelve team 634 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: playoff where maybe we have fifty or sixty teams that 635 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: are the haves and then you have the have notch 636 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: It am I too far down the road too quickly 637 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: with what I think is eventually going to happen in 638 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: college football. I think that actually the twelve team playoff 639 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: kind of slows down a little bit. Damn, to be 640 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,719 Speaker 1: honest with you, I thought that that was where we 641 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: were heading, and I wasn't sure if it was going 642 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: to be a you know, a three year period, of 643 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: five year period, of ten year period. With the grant 644 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: of rights deal with the a SEC, you know, they're 645 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: fairly stable until twenty thirty six or so. But I 646 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: think the twelve team playoff cools further expansion for the moment, 647 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: and partly because of the automatic qualifiers. Right now, the 648 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: structure that they're going to kind of promote is a 649 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: six a twelve team playoff with six automatic qualifiers, meaning 650 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: the top six conference champions as far as the rankings concerned, 651 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: will automatically make the playoff. It doesn't matter if you're 652 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: from the Mountain West or the American or the Pac twelve, 653 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: the Big twelve, the SEC, or the Big Ten. The 654 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: reward for winning the SEC and the Big Ten is 655 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: the exact same as the reward for winning a more 656 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: gettable Pack twelve. So what would be the reasoning for 657 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: say in Oregon to leave and join the Big ten immediately. 658 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: I don't think that they're going to be in a 659 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 1: huge rush. I also don't think that the Big ten's 660 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: is in a huge rush to further expand. But does 661 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: it make more sense though, Greg, that you know USC, 662 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: why not stay in the PAC twelve where if you 663 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: get an automatic birth or Oklahoma, why not stay in 664 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 1: the Big twelve instead of going in with the big 665 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: boys here? And maybe there's so much more money to 666 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: be made, But I was wondering about that. If you 667 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: get an automatic birth and you win the Big twelve, 668 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,439 Speaker 1: who cares? I mean, right, you get that money, and 669 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,240 Speaker 1: or if you win the PAC twelve in your USC, 670 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 1: well you're right. But I mean when we're talking about, 671 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe double what they'll make annually. I'm not 672 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,919 Speaker 1: sure what the PAC twelves deal is going to look like. 673 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: That deal is being currently negotiated. I think it'll be 674 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: based on what I've heard. I've heard they might even 675 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: structure it in a way where every team kind of 676 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: has their own deal in an effort to you if 677 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: there is future expansion, there's not a grant of rights. 678 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: So basically, let's say ESPN, for instance, gets the deal 679 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: that they signed a deal with Oregan. They signed a 680 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: deal with Back twelve, but Oregon's payouts different from cal 681 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: and that would kind of adjust accordingly. So if Oregon 682 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: went to the Big Ten, then ESPN could retain Organ's 683 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: rights and just get a piece at the Big ten deal. 684 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: I don't I don't you know, I don't know. These 685 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: are all these all rumor and hearsay. But you're right. 686 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he wouldn't because if you're playing in the 687 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: Big Ten, the likelihood of getting into the playoff is 688 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: still increasingly high because of the strength of schedule. So 689 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: SC and UCLA will still benefited after having made the 690 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: move financially and because of the schedule, but they'll be 691 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: able to play. But you're right, I mean, the Pack 692 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,439 Speaker 1: twelve will probably be a one bid league, but Big 693 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: ten might have as many as four in the College 694 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: Football Playoff in an expanded field, So there's still a 695 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 1: lot of value to being aligned with the Big boys. 696 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: Thanks for talking to us. We always appreciate it and 697 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: have fun Florida and Kentucky this Saturday night at seven 698 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: Eastern on the Mothership.

I had a friend who works 727 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: at Arizona State, and he goes, what are you doing 728 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: to us? I go, what do you mean? He goes, 729 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 1: You've mentioned that, Hey, if urban Meyer would come back, 730 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: Arizona State makes a lot of sense. I go, I'm 731 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: only telling you what I was told. I'm not saying 732 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: that there is any traction to urban Meyer wanting to 733 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: coach again. It's not a report, even though that's how 734 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: people treated it. I'm telling you the conversation I had 735 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: where I go, why would Fox bring urban Meyer back? 736 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: And then my football sort said, hey, you know what, 737 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: if something opens up, I could see him at Arizona State. 738 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: That's a sleeping giant. You can get your athletes in. 739 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: It's a great atmosphere and you can win the Pac twelve. 740 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: There's enough talent that you could win. That was it, 741 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: But then it was there's a report or Urban Meyer 742 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: Arizona State never said it, just saying if that job 743 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: opens up. I think herm Edwards is reportedly on the 744 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: hot seat. There could Urban Meyer if he got back 745 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: into coaching coach there. That's all it was. Oh, let's 746 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: see Eli Manning's going to join us on the program tomorrow. Yeah, 747 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: in a while since we've had him on.
