How you guys doing today? 240 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Doing pretty good? You know, I was just looking at 241 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Mike me Daniel, you know, just got fired a lot 242 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: of coaches. It feels like in college football we just 243 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: had this too, whereas more than I think I've ever seen, 244 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: I feel like now in the NFL we're seeing this 245 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: a bit. I guess I would like to talk first, 246 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: because it's all just so new with John Harball leaving 247 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: with the Ravens after eighteen years, Like, what are your 248 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: thoughts on that situation? 249 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: Eighteen years is a very long time. I come in 250 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: a little bit called in between, just because of being 251 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: a former raven experiencing John Harball personally, being in that 252 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: city and in that organization, and then a little bit 253 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: of understanding as an analyst, where when you hear reports 254 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: or you hear things, not everything is true. However, enough 255 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: discussion really kind of brings you to the conclusion. Anywhere 256 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: you are for eighteen years, there's a little bit, I 257 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: don't want to say complacency, but your message gets stale. 258 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: And that's just kind of part of business, every organization, 259 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 2: every individual. Where you have a long standing relationship or 260 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: tenure somewhere, there are gonna be people sad to see 261 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: you go, and they're gonna be people unfortunately happy to 262 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 2: see you go, and then there's gonna be people in 263 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: the middle like myself, where I'm not really sure if 264 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: it's a good thing or bad thing, because you got 265 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: to start to see what the next steps are, and 266 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 2: over time you'll say, hey, that was a good move 267 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: or it wasn't. 268 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: If you were an organization and you were looking for 269 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: a coach, or let's say you had a coach kind 270 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: of right on the fence and you didn't know, would 271 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: you bring Harball in to be your guy. 272 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you would bring him in because you know he's 273 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: going to manage every aspect of it. You know, his 274 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: background is special teams, so he's not an offensive play caller, 275 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: he's not a defensive play caller. So he allows his 276 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: coaches to really do their job and he just kind 277 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: of oversees and manages the aspect of the team. So 278 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: I think it's good. I think John Hall Harpball would 279 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: be in a would be good for a place that 280 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: has an established quarterback, that has some things already established, 281 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 2: because he is sixty two years old, and you know, 282 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: for him to start all over and be with a 283 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: team that's going to rebuild and restructure and all that stuff. 284 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: I think it's going to take a little bit of time. Right, 285 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: I'm here in Carolina, so you've seen that it's taken 286 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: a long time. They're in the playoffs for the first 287 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: time in ten years. So to say that is how 288 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: long it's going to take to build up. I don't 289 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: think John Harball is going to put himself at his 290 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: age and the experience he's had that he kind of 291 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 2: want to go through that. Again. 292 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: We live in Nashville and the Titans are here. I'm 293 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: not a Titans fan. It's hard to be a fan 294 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: of a team that isn't good and you didn't grow 295 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: up around, right, so like they haven't been good? 296 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: What is your team there? 297 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm from Arkansas. 298 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: I'm just sitting here. I'm just sitting here about to 299 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: judge you. 300 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: So no, I'm this is absolute truth. I'm not pandering 301 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: to you at all. But so I'm from Arkansas. We 302 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: did not have an NFL team, So I'm a diehard 303 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: Razorback fan. And because I everybody in Arkansas was a 304 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys fan, So I refuse to be a Cowboys fan. 305 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: Because Jerry Jones from Arkansas. So I this year, before 306 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: the season started, I said I'm gonna pick a team, 307 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: a team that does not and I'm gonna be a 308 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: super fan a team that does not have an easy culture, 309 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: like an absolute winning culture. And I picked the Panthers, 310 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: and I've been a diehard fan of the Panther. Why 311 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: did you do the face? 312 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a compliment. Well, because one 313 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: I said, I was gonna judge you. You said Arkansas 314 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: and use football. I'm not sure where those two. 315 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: Actually, no, they haven't a while. Yeah they haven't. No, 316 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: while it's a great point. Yeah, Okay, I did pick 317 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: the Panthers, and I got I gotta keep picking with Jersey. 318 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: Well thanks, well, thanks for jumping on the bandwagon. We're 319 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 2: little crowded though. 320 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: No, there was no wagon when I got on. It 321 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: was empty. It was before the season started. So I 322 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: have been a die hard year one Panthers fan and 323 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: so it's been real fun.

Did you have that when you were 345 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: with Panthers? 346 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I spent the whole that'spent a full year 347 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: of my life in Spartanburg, South Carolina. 348 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: That did not seem comfortable for players that had a 349 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: comfortable life at home. 350 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's what training camp is for though, right. 351 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: Training camp is not you going to the risk call 352 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: to uh you got a bungalow over the over the water. 353 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: That's not the purpose of camp. Camp is to make 354 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: you uncomfortable, to strip you away from all the luxuries 355 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: and to getting down to the nitty gritty can you 356 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: and will you make this team and be able to focus? 357 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: So you're staying at a college when you live in 358 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: a house in dorms, So no, it's not very comfortable, 359 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: but you can do some things to make it comfortable. 360 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: I had I had a luxury like blow up matchres 361 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: with a low top, and I had that for years 362 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: because you can rent a bed or so I bought 363 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: a luxury from I think it was front Gate or 364 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: sharper Image back in the day, and so I care 365 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: kept it for about seven years. So I got my 366 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: money's worth when it was like three hundred dollars a 367 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: day to rent a good mattress down there. So I 368 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: just bought bought myself. You know, I'm I'm very as 369 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: my kids were saying, I'm very frugal. So really that's 370 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: my thumb process. Oh yeah, I'm a I'm a. I 371 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: pick up pennies and quarters off the strip, off the street. Dang, 372 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: put it in my pocket. When I get a coin 373 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: thing and a coin collect Then after six months I 374 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: cash it in going to the coin star full five 375 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: hundred dollars cash. Dang right there? 376 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: Did you save a lot of money while you were playing. 377 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,479 Speaker 2: Oh, I sure did, because. 378 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: I feel like like I I didn't grow up with 379 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: any money at all. And at first when I made money, 380 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: I bought all the stuff that I didn't that I 381 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: didn't have as a kid. And then I got Then 382 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: I got right. 383 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I screwed it up my first My 384 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: first check was blew it. However, you know, I learned 385 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: a little bit after that, and so I took care 386 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: of my money and I'm pretty comfortable. 387 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: You think that Panthers can beat the Rams. 388 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: This is a recorded line. I think, yes, okays have 389 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 2: to do then they have beat them before, But what 390 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: do they have to do so well, it's really tough 391 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 2: because it's hard to be at a really good team twice, 392 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 2: and it's even harder to beat a team where the 393 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: team before they sustain some injuries, just like the Carolina Panthers. 394 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 2: But they're getting some players back and we aren't. So 395 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough but eventually, But the biggest things 396 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: is don't leave the field without scoring points. Because you know, 397 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford is in company, Sean McVay is not gonna 398 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: have the same game plan. And biggest part is third down. 399 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: The Carolina Panthers are not great in the low thirties 400 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 2: in third down conversion, So keeping themselves on the field 401 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: continuously going through drives and not leaving points on the board, 402 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 2: I think they give themselves a chance. If they don't 403 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 2: do those things, it's gonna be very difficult to repeat 404 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: exactly what they did last season and ultimately the playoffs. 405 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 2: Everything you've done in a regular season, that's great, That 406 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: doesn't you get no brownie points and they don't give 407 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 2: you a four second head start because of what you 408 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: did in a regular season is now zero zero and 409 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: everyone has a clean slate. However, you know, we all 410 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 2: know the records and statistics, and it's gonna be a 411 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: tough game. But I'm excited to watch it and excited 412 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: to talk about it after. 413 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: Is it possible to be too hyped up for a 414 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: playoff game as a player. 415 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 2: Yes, but no, you want to be hyped up, you 416 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: want to have nerves where it can get you is 417 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 2: probably there's first first few series. You're so hyped up, 418 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: you have so much ad adrenaline running through you that 419 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: you get super winded super quick because you're going one 420 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 2: hundred miles per hour. Where you probably should have been 421 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: going seventy five miles per hour. 422 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: How do you feel about a team getting a bye, 423 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: let's say it's not about injuries. Do you like the 424 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: week off? And would you take week eighteen off if 425 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: you were getting a bye last two weeks off? 426 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: Then yeah, it just depends on your team. I have 427 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: had the buye. That's been a beneficial for me at 428 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: the time because I had an injury, so yes, but 429 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: I also felt the rust. It took me a few 430 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 2: series to get back. In a mix of things, I 431 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: prefer to play the wild card weekend, so you just 432 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 2: kind of have a flow and in a field and 433 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: you can start to get in rhythm and hopefully you 434 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: get in a rhythm and going all the way to 435 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: the super Bowl, so be able to start stop and 436 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: then reignite after watching another team run around and make 437 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 2: their mistakes and get the rust off. I think it varies. 438 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 2: It varies for both for different teams, and it really 439 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: counts and people utilize it based on the outcome. 440 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the playoffs and there's not a Lamar, 441 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: there's not a Patrick Mahomes, and there hasn't been a 442 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow for a couple of years, but he's one 443 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: of the elite guys over in the AFC. Is this 444 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: the year that he's got to do it? 445 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are saying that I'm not. 446 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair to say he has to 447 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: do it because he's also playing the Jacksonville Jaguars team, 448 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 2: who is pretty stout right. Offensively, they're doing what they're doing, 449 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: but defensively, they're holding a lot of running backs, really 450 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: good running backs, and James Conner is one of those 451 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: guys below seventy five yards per game, Jonathan Taylor, who's almost, 452 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: I believe, the league leader and running for the running 453 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 2: backs and yards, and they held him to like seventy 454 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: five or seventy four yards. Order back of receivers they're 455 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 2: holding under seventy five yards per game. So it's gonna 456 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: be tough to say that Josh Allen needs to do 457 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 2: it where his supporting cast actually needs to do a 458 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 2: little bit more and take some weight off at his 459 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: back because he's been carrying that team for a very 460 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: long time. 461 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: I want to talk about return yards because you have 462 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: a lot of them, but when you're returning, are you 463 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: approaching that different than if you're catching a ball, meaning 464 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: the players are running at you, all of them. Do 465 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: you have to have like a supreme peripheral vision when 466 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: returning a ball. 467 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 2: That's a great question. 468 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: Thanks. 469 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: Neither one is different, and here's why. I would say, 470 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 2: when you're running a ball, when you're running a route, 471 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: jump up and catch it. What's the outcome if you 472 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: drop or pat you drop or catch the football. 473 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: If you drop it, I don't know, you still might 474 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: get hit. 475 00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. If you catch it, yeah. 476 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,239 Speaker 1: I mean if you're drop it, you still might get 477 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: hit too, if it's close. 478 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 2: Yeah. But if you catch it, it's a guarantee you're 479 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: going to get hit. Yep. Hum return same thing. The 480 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: difference is they have a head start and you just 481 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: get to watch them. That's it. It's a mind trick. 482 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 2: The outcome still happens only if the ball that's thrown 483 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: to you in the route is uncatchable or if you 484 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: fair catch. Other than that, you're gonna get everything you're 485 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: you hope you don't get when catching a punt or 486 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 2: catching a route with the ball in your hands, Big 487 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 2: guys trying to knock the snot out of you. 488 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: Did you hate fair catching? 489 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 2: Oh? Yes? I sure did. I was a stat whore. 490 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, could you tell on a punt when they're running 491 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: down could you see the lane before the ball even 492 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: got to you. 493 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where the film study comes. Where the ball 494 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: is going. So for me, is catching a football, I'm looking, 495 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: I'm I'm looking up. As I'm looking up, I'm also 496 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: because look, you're on the team with fifty three guys, 497 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 2: forty six that dress, You eat breakfast with them, you're 498 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 2: around them. Since you know those dorm rooms two years ago. 499 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 2: Though those dorm rooms where you're standing staying next to 500 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: each other, you're learning each other. You also know who 501 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 2: who has a tougher matchup. So if my gunners singled 502 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: or doubled single on the right side, doubled on the 503 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 2: left side, I traditionally will go, Okay, I need to 504 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: be paying attention to my single side. But if the 505 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: player the gunner is extremely good and that's why they're 506 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: doubling them, I still have to pay attention to him, 507 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: and then you're gonna have an outlier where someone gets 508 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 2: out of whack and maybe loses a little bit leverage. 509 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: So I'm constantly looking at the ball, at the flight 510 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: of the ball and while the flight is going, I'm 511 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 2: looking at the football as it spins. Is the nose 512 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: up which means it will continue to keep going? Or 513 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: is the nose starting to go down which means is 514 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: gonna fall? Is about to fall at that depth that 515 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: we know that the punter is usually hitting. And then 516 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: is it a left to right? Is it a right 517 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: footed punter, left foot of punter, right foot of punters spinning, 518 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: it's gonna go to the right, But when it's left, 519 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: it actually falls and it goes to your left. Most 520 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: punters are right foot it, so that throws it off, 521 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: and it's a different spin, so it hits your hands 522 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: a little bit different. So it's a lot of calculated, detailedness. 523 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 2: That that's why the couch folks that watch football think 524 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: they could just get off the couch after a bear 525 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: and some wings and go do it. 526 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: It's not that easy. Were you a guy that when 527 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: you juke somebody out, you went whoop, yep, gotcha? Would 528 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 1: you ever talk while doing while making plays? 529 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 3: Oh? 530 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: I yes, I would. I definitely would would say some things. 531 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: I said more things inside of my head than out loud, 532 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 2: But then out loud would be after I make the play. 533 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: But it was more psychological thing and just you know, 534 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 2: going through my keys and going through all of those 535 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: things I need to do. So on a pump return, 536 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: I had to make sure that was eleven guys on 537 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: the field, you know, so just ten guys ahead of me, 538 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: because I would be the eleventh. It took me a 539 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: while to figure that out because when I first did it, 540 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,959 Speaker 2: I almost called time out because we were short, and 541 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 2: they said they stupid. You need to count yourself. So 542 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: that's the requirement of the pump returner. And then just 543 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: kind of seeing everything. Is the return right is it left? 544 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: Am I on a ten yard line? If I go 545 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: more than a step or two and a half steps, 546 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 2: that means I'm beyond the eight yard eight yards, which 547 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: means it is going to go onto the ball is 548 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 2: gonna go on the end zone. So I have to 549 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: be cautious of that. And I got to look up 550 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 2: by the distract the runners who are trying to down 551 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 2: it within the before it goes in the goal line 552 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: the end zone, and so now have to trick them. 553 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of steps that goes into it. 554 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 2: That is less about what you're saying out side to 555 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 2: people and it's more of how quickly can you go 556 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 2: through your checks list before the play goes on and 557 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: be able to have the right judgment call on the 558 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 2: pump return or catching the football. 559 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: What quarterback did you have the best chemistry with? Uh? 560 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 2: The one I mean the one I was with the 561 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: longest I was with Jake DeLoone, I think probably about 562 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: eight years. We grew up together, we made the playoffs together, 563 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: we went to the Super Bowl together, NC Championships together. 564 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 2: So athletically though, best quarterback obviously is Cam Newton, but 565 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: you know, athletically gifty and spending time and growing into 566 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 2: this game with man, it's hard to just exit. It's 567 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: hard to just kind of cross out eight years of 568 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: experience to say, hey, man, I just had a more 569 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: athletic quarterback for three years. I don't think that's necessarily fair. 570 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: Who's the team to be in the AFC? Man? 571 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 2: I would? I want to say Jacksonville. I'm interested in 572 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 2: seeing how the Patriots are gonna do. I wouldn't be 573 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 2: shocked to the Chargers win and then but the Texans. 574 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 2: The Texans are one of those teams I'm really trying 575 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 2: to figure out who are they? Because defensively their top 576 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: notch offensively, they've had a lot of hiccups emotional roller coasters, 577 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 2: so I would have to go with I'm kind of 578 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: favoring the Jags or the Patriots. 579 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you the same thing about the NFC, 580 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: because again, both sides they're really I don't feel like 581 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: there's a team that's head and shoulders above everybody else. 582 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: But from what you've seen, who's the team on the 583 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: NFC side? 584 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 2: Surprisingly, I think the Bears can shock some people. The 585 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 2: Packers were doing really good until Michael Parser's went down, 586 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 2: and they haven't been able to generate a lot of 587 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 2: sacks so that their defense has changed dramatically. The Rams, 588 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 2: let's see how they play the Panthers, who they played down. 589 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: Is this another game where Matthew Stafford has two touchdowns 590 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 2: and then they also give up fumble so it gives 591 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 2: more opportunity to the Carolina Panthers. And I'm intrigued to 592 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 2: see which Eagles offensively shows up, how Brock Perdy does 593 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: against the top tier defense like the Philadelphia Eagles. So 594 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 2: I'm I'm leaning towards I can see in the NFC Championship, 595 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 2: I can say the Bears and rams. 596 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: You gave me like eight teams there basically said every team. 597 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: You covered all bases there. 598 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 2: Now annalists and here, but here's why. Here, here's the 599 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 2: real truth. The real truth is if I don't mention 600 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 2: all these teams, the teams that I don't mention that 601 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: are playing, when I go to that game or I'm 602 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: on the sideline reporting, they will say something to me, oh, 603 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: I saw you picked U when Philly in Arizona, when 604 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: Philly was playing Kansas City Chiefs. I have picked on 605 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,719 Speaker 2: like four different a couple of different on I would say, oh, 606 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: I got the Eagles, then that when I got I 607 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: got the Chiefs, and I'm so I'm doing some things 608 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl of the game, Patrick Strength, coach 609 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: and equipment manager. So you picked the Eagles, I said, 610 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: come on, bro, I went on another show and I 611 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 2: picked the Chiefs. He said, didn't hear that one. So 612 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: from now on, I'm I'm gonna make sure I hear 613 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 2: everything every team so I can make sure I'm good 614 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: because I still got to do my job. Man, I can't. 615 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: I can't have one team black balling because I didn't 616 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: pick them. 617 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: Whenever you're going into the Super Bowl, and there's that 618 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: two week break. Does that feel like an eternity after 619 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: you've been playing every week? 620 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: It is, It feels like an internity. But it also 621 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: allows you to get everything ready. There's a lot of 622 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: planning that that's involved, and you still have to practice. 623 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: So you have practice to get prepared for the Super Bowl, 624 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: biggest our, biggest event of the year. And yeah, you 625 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 2: got family members chomping at the bit of trying to 626 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 2: how they're going to figure out to get those tickets. 627 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: And when you go to Super Bowl, each player is 628 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: allowed a lot of so many tickets that you're paying for, 629 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: not for free, you're paying for So if you think 630 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: of you, I think ten tickets, or you get the 631 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 2: purchase ten tickets, well, you know it's the biggest game 632 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: and are and football is crazy popular. Well ten tickets 633 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 2: is is not enough tickets, so you try. So there's 634 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: a lot of botering and willing and dealing, dealing going 635 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: on amongst players on the teams that are going to see, hey, 636 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 2: are you going to use all of ten of your tickets? 637 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: You know how much you're gonna sell them to you? 638 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: And then you got a guy who starts to realize 639 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: that he got a hot commodity, and so he starts 640 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: to uh the price that he said for face value. 641 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 2: Now he maybe tries to get extra hundred bucks. So 642 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 2: it becomes a lot of willing and dealing going. 643 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: On with the halftime show making a longer halftime. Did 644 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: you feel that during the Super Bowl? 645 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: Uh? No, you don't go by so fast. Don't feel 646 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: any in that. It seems short. 647 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: Do you remember who played your halftime show when you 648 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: guys play the Broncos. 649 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: I do, because it was some teen years ago, because 650 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 2: it was the infamous justin Timberlay. 651 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: Oh that was the halftime show? 652 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 2: Then? 653 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, did you now do you even hear about that 654 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: during the second half at all? 655 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: No, we didn't unless you have you're listening to the broadcast. No, man, 656 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 2: and I'm on the field, so I don't. I don't 657 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 2: have broadcasting ears to listen. 658 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 659 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know if he did, and I don't know 660 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: if they. 661 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: That's a great question though. 662 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 3: That was crazy for that was. 663 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: Such a cultural moment. I didn't know if maybe word 664 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: got back like Janet Jackson's nipple was just shown at halftime? 665 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: No? Never, Uh never went across our place. Sheet were 666 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 2: sitting in the Nipple were sitting there in the huddle 667 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: and they're going, hey, did you know what happened at halftime? 668 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: That that never happened. 669 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: But a little bit though, Let's say in a game, 670 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: if something like you see somebody in the stands, like 671 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: you see Samuel L. Jackson's here, Adam Sandler's here, like 672 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: you semover and row three, you guys talk about that 673 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: in the huddle, right, we may talk. 674 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 3: About a huddle. 675 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: If you run out of bounds, it's really hard to 676 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 2: see and you kind of see the celebrities before the game, 677 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: touring the game, you're so locked in you're trying not 678 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: to pay attention to it. So when someone does say something, 679 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: it's a big deal in the huddle. 680 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: Talk about your podcast for a second. What are you 681 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: guys talking about on cut to It? 682 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 2: Oh Man? So cut to It? I switched the name 683 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: from cut to It at the eighty nine just recently. 684 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 2: But we just talked about football, everything that's going on 685 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 2: currently right now, talking about the Carolina Panthers and then 686 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,239 Speaker 2: John Hardball getting fired. That we did that one on 687 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 2: Tuesday night just because the news came Tuesday morning, because 688 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: the news came so early, and it was surprising. Then obviously, 689 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 2: like today with Mike McDaniels, what does that look like? 690 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: So we talk about everything about football, and then right now, 691 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: when the playoffs starting, the Super Bowl combine, I'll start 692 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 2: getting in the nitty gritty of a valuating these wide 693 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 2: receivers that are coming out. It's a ton of wire receivers, 694 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: a ton of guys. So I do a little breakdown 695 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 2: on them, what I like, what I think they need 696 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 2: to work on. And that's been pretty successful and I enjoyed. 697 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 2: I love watching film still, so it kind of gives 698 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: me a little niche and I'm kind of a film nerd, 699 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 2: so it lets me kind of geek out and I enjoy. 700 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: So it's called eighty nine. Now you change your name? 701 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: Yep, the eighty nine show. 702 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, the eighty nine show.

I feel like my heart is weighing too 725 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: much on me here. I really want ole Miss to 726 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: win because I want ole Miss to win at all, 727 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: because I want ole Miss to win at all with 728 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: a different coach. I don't even like ole Miss. I 729 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: don't hate All Miss, but I have no affiliation. I 730 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: don't even root for the SEC because it's the SEC 731 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: like that doesn't really happen as much as it used to. 732 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 1: That's not why I'm rooting for all Miss. I'm rooting 733 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: for ole Miss because I love the disaster of they 734 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: win a national championship without their coach who left them 735 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: because he could win a national championship somewhere else. So 736 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go over fifty two and a half. 737 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 3: Oh okay, smart, Okay, good. Yeah. 738 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: I feel like I have too much of a bias. 739 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 3: Yep, And when you bet, that's kind of what you 740 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 3: want to do. Take that bias out. 741 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: If I go to Friday Night Oregon in Indiana, I 742 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: think Oregon wins the game. Straight up. Let's go anytime 743 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: in my life. Well, most times that people are well, 744 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: this is a for sure thing in sports, Yes, it 745 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: turns out not to be a for sure thing. 746 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 3: Like when all the commentators pick the same team, it's 747 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 3: not good. 748 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: Like when you say the Cowboys are for sure gonna win, 749 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: they almost always lose. 750 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 3: It's not always. 751 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Oregon plus three and a half. Okay, 752 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm hedging my bet there. 753 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 3: But see that in that one kind of a heart 754 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 3: that's a heart bet. 755 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: No, because I don't have a heart in this. I 756 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: really don't care. Okay, I think I think Oregon can 757 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: win that game. But I'm gonna go Oregon plus three 758 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: and a half. I think that's going to be the parlay. 759 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: Do I need to do three? 760 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 5: Well, you need to hit the was it three seventy 761 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 5: five mics? 762 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: Is that it is plus seventy five odds? 763 00:35:59,640 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 7: You know? 764 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: But over forty eight and a half? I never bet unders. 765 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 3: Over forty eight and a half on the second. 766 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: In Indiana's got a really good defense. 767 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 5: Really, Yeah, so does Oregon. 768 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, screw it.

The Bears are healthy, 790 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: the Packers obviously aren't. Yeah, I agree, their best player 791 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: isn't playing.

The Packers 795 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: have been there before, at least played in the playoffs, 796 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: but played. 797 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 2: Like a month. 798 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 3: But that's what I'm thinking, Like, do they know that? 799 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: But their favorite on the road? They don't trust Caleb 800 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: uh Sunday Chargers that I'm gonna take the Packers? 801 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 3: Oh really? 802 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: That's yeah. I figure, look at you three and I'm 803 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: like idiot, and I lost twenty four thousand dollars. Sunday 804 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: Chargers at Patriots. 805 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 3: Let's go Patriots, diehard? 806 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: Okay, we need them.

I feel 810 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 3: like this is the Bill's year. 811 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 5: So yes, like Cowboys. 812 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 3: No, I just feel like the Bills for the first 813 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 3: time don't have the Chiefs in the way, you know, 814 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 3: so they can do it this time. 815 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers at Eagles. I'm surprised at Eagles. And again, no, 816 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: we're not talking spread, so I'm surprised the Eagles are 817 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: four and a half point favorite. I get it. The 818 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: forty nine ers have lost their stars on defense, but 819 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: they've been gone for a while for defense does suck? 820 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: Forty nine ers of the Eagles. I'm going forty nine 821 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: Ers Yeah, same, Yeah, I could also have a massive 822 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: future on them.

I feel like that's such 834 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: a slam dunk Texans win, but I think I think 835 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 1: the Steelers can do it. Is it is in Pittsburgh. 836 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 3: The Steelers got so lucky to be there. 837 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 5: They're so hard to watch. 838 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: They won the games they needed to win. 839 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 3: I know, it's just they wouldn't have been ugly division. 840 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it was. Same thing with the Panthers. 841 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: That's the ugliest division. 842 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 3: Ugly kick is what it was. 843 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that sucked.

He was dunking. He 874 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: I just want to say that, tell him that when 875 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: he came to Arkansas and played that basketball, he was 876 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: dunking on everybody and I was like, man, you guys 877 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 1: just don't lose it.

Anytime he's in any type of competition, 881 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 7: you know he's going to go full force no matter 882 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 7: who he's going against. There was a situation to where, 883 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 7: you know, he was at the Ohio State James Hospital 884 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 7: visiting kids that had cancer and one of the kids 885 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 7: wanted to play Men Madden. In that Madden game, Cardio 886 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 7: took no prisoners. He beat the kid like seventy to nothing. 887 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 7: It's most ridiculous thing in the world. 888 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate the time. Everybody check out the script. 889 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: It's podcast on Ohio State. Hey, what did you say? 890 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: What were your takeaways from that game against Miami. 891 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 3: Oh? 892 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 4: It was brutal. 893 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 7: It was very brutal. I mean in Miami they were 894 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 7: so dominant the point of contact. You have to love 895 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 7: the pass rus that they have in Reuben Bann and 896 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 7: the key messador buff for Ohio State. You know, as 897 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 7: a former Buckeye and as a Buckeye fan watching that game, 898 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 7: I was kind of in dismay the fact that we 899 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 7: couldn't pick up the blitz. We couldn't figure out ways 900 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 7: to get the ball out quick and manufacture some type 901 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 7: of offense on a consistent basis. It was dis hardening 902 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,280 Speaker 7: to see because I thought this was a year Ohio 903 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 7: State was trending in that Georgia type direction to where 904 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,879 Speaker 7: they'd be making a statement as being back to back 905 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 7: national championships and going on and you know, making a 906 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 7: run to create this dynasty. But unfortunately they came up short, 907 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 7: but Miami played their tails off. 908 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 1: You played for coach Trussell, But can you give me 909 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: some maybe some some commentary on Ryan Day and why 910 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: you think he is the guy for Ohio State. 911 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 4: I love Ryande. 912 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 7: I think he's the perfect mix between Jim Trussell and 913 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 7: irber Meyer. 914 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 4: He can be a feiighty guy. 915 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 7: He comes across as a very nice individual, but you know, 916 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 7: behind closed doors, he gets after his players. He makes 917 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 7: sure that those guys are prepared. And you know, one 918 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 7: of the things that he has that a lot of 919 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 7: people don't get a chance to see is that edge. 920 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 7: That edge to you know, make sure guys are in 921 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 7: the right mental space because he is He's going to 922 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 7: be and he's preaching that to his players on a 923 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 7: consistent basis. But then when you go look at that 924 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 7: the ex's no's Ryan days, teams are always prepared, and 925 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 7: you know him being a former offensive coordinator, he dials 926 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 7: up offenses with the best. Now, unfortunately versus Miami it 927 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,479 Speaker 7: didn't show. But when you go look at this track record, 928 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 7: you know he's always had Ohio State in contention to 929 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 7: win a national championship down the stretch at the end 930 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 7: of the year. And I think that's what you want 931 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 7: out of a coach, to have your team in it 932 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 7: in the thick of things when it matters most, and 933 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 7: he's done just that. 934 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: I want to ask one other Ohio State question. And 935 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: you played with Brian Hartline and then he obviously was 936 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: coaching on the staff. He just took over the job 937 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: at USF. What do you think about him as a 938 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: head coach? What did you think about hims a player? 939 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: Can you give me both of those? 940 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 941 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 7: No, the Heartline is an overachiever as a player, and 942 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 7: he's one of those. 943 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 4: Guys that's always going to have an edge. 944 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 7: He always played with a chip on the shoulder and 945 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 7: that was the same way that you saw him coaching 946 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 7: at Ohio State. You know, you saw him go out 947 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 7: and be able to go and get the four and 948 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 7: five stars guys at the receiver position at an insane clip, 949 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 7: but not only get those. 950 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 4: Guys, but develop them. 951 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 7: You talk about his track record of a who's who 952 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 7: in the National Football League right now, you talk about 953 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 7: a Mecca and BUCA. You know, the list goes on, 954 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 7: Chris Wilson, Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson. 955 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 4: I mean, the list goes on and on. Mart Harrison Junior. 956 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 7: He developed all of those guys, and it's doing part 957 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 7: to the edge and the chip on his shoulder that he. 958 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 4: Always had and that dates back to high school. 959 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 7: Hardline felt like he was a guy that was overlooked, 960 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 7: even though he did in getting our scholarship to go 961 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 7: to Ohio State. He felt like there were a lot 962 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 7: of guys always talked about more than him. So he 963 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 7: approaches the game from a different perspective, like his back 964 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 7: is against the wall, and I think he's going to 965 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 7: do a heck of a job down there. 966 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 4: USF. 967 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 3: What about you. 968 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: Growing up an Acron did you feel like you had 969 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 1: to go to Ohio State? 970 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 4: Initially?

S see? 997 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 4: I did, I really did. 998 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 3: So. 999 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 7: Crazy thing is I committed to USC while I was 1000 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 7: still committed Ohio State. But my mom shut that down 1001 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 7: so quick. My mom got the I literally called my parents. 1002 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 7: We're off the breakfast with Coach Carroll, and I'm like, 1003 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 7: I'm com coming here. I'm telling him I'm going there. 1004 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 7: I called my parents, my mom and my dad, and 1005 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 7: my dad I tell them I'm going to USC. 1006 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 4: He chuckles. He passes the phone. 1007 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 7: To my mom and I say I'm going to USC, 1008 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 7: and then she gives me an ear full and says, 1009 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 7: give Coach Carroll the phone. And all I see is 1010 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 7: face starting to turn red. And I'm like, well, what 1011 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 7: did she say to you? She said, take you back 1012 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 7: to the airport immediately. So that was my short, brief, 1013 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 7: ten minute commitment to USC. 1014 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,320 Speaker 1: Where else did you visit? 1015 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 4: So I didn't go to a lot of places. 1016 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 7: I went to the University of Michigan, went to Ohio State, 1017 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,240 Speaker 7: and USC. That was it, you know. Once I committed 1018 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,399 Speaker 7: to Ohio State, it was a kind of a deal 1019 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 7: between me and coach Trussell. Well, you can go to 1020 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 7: one more place to visit and see what you like. 1021 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 7: And you know, I think he kind of knew my 1022 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 7: parents wouldn't let me go all the way across the 1023 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 7: world to go to college, so he was like, yeah, 1024 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 7: go visit usc goes check out what LA has to offer. 1025 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 4: And that was the one other place that I went. 1026 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: I still think I have a bit of brand bias 1027 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: unfairly against Indiana, even after watching them be awesome, be dominant. 1028 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: I've just seen them for so many years not be 1029 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean I've not seen a coach like Signetti come 1030 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: in and completely shift a program in two years like 1031 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: he has there Indiana, they are the favorite to win 1032 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: the whole thing. What do you see from them that 1033 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 1: makes them so strong? 1034 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 4: I mean they are complete football team. 1035 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 7: You know, we talk so much about, you know, Fernanda Mendoza, 1036 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 7: but you know it's not just Fananda Mendoza and what 1037 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 7: he's able to do in the past game. 1038 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 4: They have a great offensive line. 1039 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 7: They got a two headed monster, you know, and blacking 1040 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 7: him be in the running back at the running backs position. 1041 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 7: But then on the defensive side, I mean, they get 1042 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 7: pressure like no other team in the country, and they're 1043 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 7: not talked about because there isn't that one dominant pass 1044 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,360 Speaker 7: rusher that you see winning all the college football awards. 1045 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 7: I mean, they're complete football team. And you know, it's 1046 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,879 Speaker 7: been nothing short of amazing to watch a coach coming 1047 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,280 Speaker 7: to a program that has been essential doormat for college 1048 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 7: football for so many years and resurrected and not only resurrected, 1049 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 7: but resurrected to the point in which he's had them 1050 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 7: in the highest points in college football, the College Football 1051 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 7: Playoff the last couple of years, and I think they're 1052 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,240 Speaker 7: probably going to win a national championship. I mean this story, 1053 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 7: I mean, he's gonna have a statue when it's all 1054 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 7: said and done outside in Bloomington, Indiana because of what 1055 00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,320 Speaker 7: he's been able to do there at that program. 1056 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:00,760 Speaker 4: But I'm it's been crazy. 1057 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 7: I mean, they're so good at every single position, and 1058 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 7: it's doing part to one Kerkcineti for him going out 1059 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 7: and finding the right guys in the portal. You know, 1060 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 7: we hear so many people talk about the portal, but 1061 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 7: it's not an exact sign to us. But he most 1062 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,320 Speaker 7: certainly hasn't figured out because he's getting the right guys 1063 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 7: to be able to come into his program and be 1064 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 7: able to deliver. 1065 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: Right now, they're killing in the portal right now, but 1066 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: fairly because they've been really good the last couple of 1067 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: years and they can now pitch that with money. But 1068 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: year one it brought a lot of his JMU guys. 1069 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't that they had a ton of money. It 1070 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: wasn't that they had established a winning culture that people 1071 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 1: knew about. How the heck has he done this? 1072 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 7: I mean, I would say it goes back to the 1073 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 7: culture in which he had at JMU. He brought in 1074 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 7: guys that were familiar with the way that he did things, 1075 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 7: guys that were big time playmakers and Loja Zerat is 1076 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 7: one of those guys that's still on the roster right 1077 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,359 Speaker 7: now in Indiana killing it. But when you bring in 1078 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 7: guys that understand the way you want to do things, 1079 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 7: now as a coach, you don't necessarily have to do 1080 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 7: it all on your own because these players can speak 1081 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 7: to the locker room, they can speak to the other players, 1082 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,800 Speaker 7: they can kind of gobbanize and get those guys infatuated 1083 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 7: with the way that you do things and knowing that 1084 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 7: it's going to lead to the ultimate success because look, 1085 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 7: he won at the other programs. And now if I'm 1086 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 7: a guy that was on Jmlu's roster, I can tell 1087 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 7: him newbie on Indiana's roster, like, all we have to 1088 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 7: do is listen and buy it. 1089 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 4: And it works. 1090 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 7: And when you have other people in the locker room 1091 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,800 Speaker 7: preaching that same message, I mean, that thing makes everything 1092 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 7: cohesively and it makes everything jail so much easier. But 1093 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,439 Speaker 7: it's crazy, it's wild to see because we haven't seen 1094 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,359 Speaker 7: anything like it in college football. A guy that come 1095 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 7: in from a smaller program go up to the big 1096 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 7: leagues essentially and dominate in the fashion in which he's did. 1097 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 7: I mean, one of the all time great coaching stories 1098 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 7: that we'll see in college football history. 1099 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been odd, but refreshingly odd because and I've 1100 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 1: compared it to in a different way, Adrian Peterson bouncing 1101 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 1: back from injury so fast that it actually showed you 1102 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: could do it. And so then fairly or unfairly, people 1103 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: were trying to match themselves to that standard. Like Adrian 1104 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,840 Speaker 1: Peterson's back, He's running the ball months after he was injured. 1105 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,280 Speaker 1: They let people know, now all these coaches are getting 1106 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 1: compared to Signetti fairly or unfairly because he came in 1107 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 1: and changed that word that's thrown around so much culture. 1108 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: Have you been and I don't want you to say 1109 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: any name if you don't want to. Have you been 1110 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:11,800 Speaker 1: in bad cultures before? 1111 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. 1112 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 7: You know, when you play football, we played any sport 1113 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 7: for a long period of time, You're going to experience it. 1114 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,359 Speaker 7: And you know, the one thing that you can't let 1115 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 7: happen with the culture is once you start losing the 1116 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 7: locker room, you start losing some of your veteran players, 1117 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 7: that stuff starts to trickle down, and everybody starts to 1118 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,399 Speaker 7: kind of, you know, start questioning the system and start 1119 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,799 Speaker 7: trying to, you know, figure out their own way. And 1120 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,839 Speaker 7: once you know, people start figuring out their own way, 1121 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 7: I mean, nobody's yelling together. 1122 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 4: Nobody's together. 1123 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 7: So that's the most awful thing that can happen to 1124 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 7: a program, is you lose the locker room and you 1125 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 7: lose your veteran leadership. 1126 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:48,839 Speaker 4: That can go south really quick. 1127 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the portal. I feel like it's a 1128 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 1: wild West. I'm sure you do too. That the story 1129 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: that I was thinking about this morning was the Williams kid, 1130 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,319 Speaker 1: the quarterback at Washington, and you know, he signs four 1131 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 1: million bucks a year, they've pretty much said that's what 1132 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: it was. Now, he signed the paper work, and then 1133 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: now it's like, hey, uls, she was offered him six 1134 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 1: so he wants to go to LSU now, And that 1135 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: is just's that's representative of kind of what's happening now. 1136 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: I mean, it is definitely on the polar side of 1137 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: it if somebody who signs and then probably gets poached 1138 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 1: and said, hey, we'll give you even more money. Like, 1139 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,399 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts in general on what the porter? 1140 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 1: I think players should be paid, first of all, I 1141 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: think absolutely players should be paid, but there's got to 1142 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: be some sort of boundary, right one hundred percent. 1143 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 4: I mean, I honestly think they should be paid as well. 1144 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 7: But when we talk about you know, guys, you know, 1145 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 7: agreeing to something and then you know, all of a 1146 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 7: sudden voting thinking they're gonna get more dollars and going 1147 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 7: to greener pastors, I mean, I think that's where we 1148 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 7: have to, you. 1149 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 4: Know, get this thing reeled in a little bit. And 1150 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 4: obviously on one end. 1151 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 7: We see it with coaches too, because coaches, you know, 1152 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 7: can leave and go to a different program for more dollars, 1153 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 7: I e. 1154 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 4: Langkiff and ole Miss. 1155 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 7: But nonetheless, I mean when it comes to the portal, 1156 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 7: we don't necessarily even talk about the fact that a 1157 00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 7: lot of these kids, if you don't pan out after 1158 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 7: that one year, you may be pushed back into the portal. 1159 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,280 Speaker 7: So I think, you know, there has to be some collecting, 1160 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 7: collective bargaining agreement that is in place for these guys 1161 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 7: and not only protect the players, but protect the university, 1162 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 7: because if I shell out, you know, four million dollars, 1163 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 7: I want to know that this guy is going to 1164 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 7: be committed to this program, will not leave me after 1165 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 7: a year and after he has a great year, just 1166 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 7: because the program says we're going to give him two 1167 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 7: more million dollars. Now, let it be a situation to 1168 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 7: Rock can come and necessarily up my contract that I'm 1169 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,319 Speaker 7: offering a kid before he says, you know what, I'm 1170 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 7: leaving and going elsewhere. 1171 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 4: I don't like that standpoint of it. I think there 1172 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 4: needs to be some rules. 1173 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 7: To rein it in on both phases to protect both 1174 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 7: the player and the university, because nobody wants to be 1175 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 7: left in the dark, and then in the flip side, 1176 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 7: nobody wants to be pushed out if I don't necessarily 1177 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 7: live up to the contract you gave me the year before, you. 1178 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 1: Bring up something really interesting, and I think we saw 1179 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: with the receiver at Texas who is now going to Oklahoma. 1180 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: He basically said, hey, I was pushed out. Like it's 1181 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 1: it's not all just players going hey, I want to 1182 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 1: leave for more. Some point, players are getting in the 1183 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 1: portal because the coaches are going, we don't have a 1184 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: spot for you anymore. You got to get in the portal. 1185 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,359 Speaker 1: And I think there has to be something there too, 1186 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: right to protect players. 1187 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 4: Have no question about it. 1188 00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,319 Speaker 7: I mean, just imagine if you are, you got a kid, 1189 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,240 Speaker 7: and you trusting You're trusting a coach and a program 1190 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 7: to say, you know what, my son's going to commit 1191 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 7: to you, and we're going to expect you to go 1192 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 7: develop my son not only to be a great football player, 1193 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 7: to be a great young man, to be a great student. 1194 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 7: And then all of a sudden, the program isn't winning 1195 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 7: and we're trying to figure out ways as a program 1196 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 7: to go out and get players that are going to 1197 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 7: help us win. Right now, your son is going to 1198 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 7: be exiled because he is a player that's making an 1199 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 7: impact right now because he didn't develop soon enough. 1200 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,400 Speaker 4: Like I don't want that. I wouldn't want that as 1201 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 4: a parent. I mean nobody would. 1202 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 7: So you know, you have to put in some rules 1203 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 7: and parameters to protect these student athletes. If we're still 1204 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 7: going to call them student athletes, right, if you're still 1205 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,840 Speaker 7: going to have the expectation, see for these guys to 1206 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 7: go to school and go to class and to be students, 1207 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 7: you still have to protect him some way in former fashion. 1208 00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 7: I don't want my kid to be pushed out just 1209 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 7: because he is a producer right now for you, because 1210 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:06,799 Speaker 7: he's still a young kid. 1211 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 4: He still needs time to develop. 1212 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 7: He knows he needs to figure out how to be 1213 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 7: a student athlete but also be a young adult in 1214 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 7: the same sense. And it's not easy, especially in this 1215 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 7: day and age, in this climate where it's become more 1216 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 7: about winning and dollars than anything. 1217 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: The timing of the portal opening is terrible. I think 1218 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,879 Speaker 1: everybody agrees on that. I mean, you have running backs 1219 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: at Oregon hopping in the portal. They're still in the tournament. 1220 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 1: If you were the commissioner of college football, like, what 1221 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 1: is the one thing you would do with the portal 1222 00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: to at least give it some sort of semblance of 1223 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 1: it being collective and unified and working. 1224 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 7: Not even just with the portal, but I think just 1225 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,720 Speaker 7: with everything that we've experienced this year with college football, 1226 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:52,040 Speaker 7: from the coaching changes to the portal to signing Day, 1227 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 7: I think we need to bump this thing up. We 1228 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 7: need to move the schedule up to where it's a 1229 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 7: clearcut date to where we're going to be done by, 1230 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 7: to where the por opens after the season and you 1231 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,720 Speaker 7: can take a new job after the college football season. 1232 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,320 Speaker 7: Make this thing done in the early part of January 1233 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 7: to where we're not faced with these situations, to where 1234 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 7: a Lane Kiffin has to decide on if I can 1235 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 7: finish up my college football season where I'm mad at 1236 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 7: Old Miss and still be able to take a job 1237 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,400 Speaker 7: elsewhere and finish up a recruiting class, or go out 1238 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 7: and get the portal guys that I need to help 1239 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,360 Speaker 7: me for the following season. So I think it's a 1240 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 7: whole college football issue. It's not just a porter issue. 1241 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 7: But they most certainly have to fix this calendar if 1242 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 7: they don't want these issues to continue to be a 1243 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,040 Speaker 7: problem and for us to face. We're sitting here talking 1244 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 7: about this issues next year. 1245 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:37,279 Speaker 4: We can't. 1246 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 7: It's too much money at stake. It's too much at 1247 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 7: stake for this to be an issue when it's a 1248 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:41,919 Speaker 7: simple fix. 1249 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 1: Ole Miss is playing with their new head coach, but 1250 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,359 Speaker 1: obviously he wasn't the head coach all year, and they're 1251 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 1: old coaches at LSU right now, and that makes me 1252 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: root for Ole Miss. I would love to see All 1253 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: Miss with I'm not a Miss fan, as a matter 1254 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 1: of fact, I don't like Ole Miss because I'm an 1255 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 1: Arkansas guy. But I'm rooting for hole Mess because I 1256 00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 1: would love to see Lane Kiffin leave for a team 1257 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 1: he thinks can win a national championship and watch his 1258 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 1: team win a national championship. As someone who doesn't live 1259 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 1: in SC country, what are your feelings on Old Mess? 1260 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: Are you rooting for them or against them? 1261 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 2: Gee? 1262 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 4: I'm routed for Old Miss, no question about it. 1263 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 7: I think it's like between Indiana and Old Miss, they're 1264 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,840 Speaker 7: the best stories in college football, right. I mean, I 1265 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 7: honestly couldn't believe Lane Kiffin decided to vote and go 1266 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,359 Speaker 7: to LSU when he shown right now you couldn't win 1267 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,759 Speaker 7: an Old Miss. You can get the guys you can 1268 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 7: get the players, and they're essentially going to give you 1269 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 7: the money to go out and get more. 1270 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 4: Players and give you everything that you need. 1271 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 7: At you're disposed to win, and you decide to go 1272 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 7: to a program at LSU where the expectation is going 1273 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 7: to be so much higher. 1274 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 4: It didn't make sense to me. It didn't make sense. 1275 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 7: At the end of the season this year, he would 1276 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 7: have had a statue at Old Miss and been riding 1277 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 7: high forever, and then he would have been able to 1278 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 7: go out and get recruits at a high rate that 1279 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 7: he wasn't before at Old Miss. 1280 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 4: I mean, it just made no sense. 1281 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 7: The issue that I have, especially with him going to LSU, 1282 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 7: if he doesn't win in three or four years, he's 1283 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 7: going to be on the hot seat and he's going 1284 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 7: to be scratching his head saying did I make the 1285 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,279 Speaker 7: right decision? Hell, he may even be scratching his head 1286 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 7: at the end of the year LSU or Ole Miss 1287 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,760 Speaker 7: wins a national championship saying if I made the right decision. 1288 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: Carnel Te just said he's going to the NFL.

I mean, this is when 1318 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 7: you know, recruiting magazines and recruiting pundits were really starting 1319 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 7: to get popular, right, so you know, all of those 1320 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,479 Speaker 7: guys were at the games, and you know, I felt 1321 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 7: like after the game, I was doing I don't know, 1322 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,280 Speaker 7: six seven interviews and then obviously you had the scouts there. 1323 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 7: So it was a fun time. It was a wild 1324 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 7: time because it was all new to me and my 1325 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 7: family for that matter. But nonetheless, it was a great opportunity. 1326 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 7: And looking back on that, man, I wish I would 1327 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,120 Speaker 7: have enjoyed it a little bit more because you really 1328 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,440 Speaker 7: never know how fast that time period goes. I mean, 1329 00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 7: you know, I was twenty some add years ago, and 1330 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 7: it literally feels like it was yesterday. So I most 1331 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 7: certainly wish I would have taken it in and enjoyed 1332 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 7: it a little bit more. 1333 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 4: But it was a fun time. It was most certainly, 1334 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 4: you know, fun seeing Jim Trussell. 1335 00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 7: Lloyd Carr, the urban mares of the world at your school, 1336 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 7: at your game, you know, walking through your halls and 1337 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 7: then all of the other kids in the school. 1338 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 4: Pointing and seeing, Oh, they're talking to Beanie right there. 1339 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 4: It was an amazing time. 1340 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 1: Was your mailbox just full? 1341 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it definitely was. 1342 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 7: I mean my mom still has tubs of, you know, 1343 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 7: the letters that I got in college, and now my 1344 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 7: son's getting an opportunity to read them. And as they're 1345 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 7: going through the recruiting ranks, they're comparing their letters to 1346 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 7: the letters that I was getting in college. 1347 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 4: So it's the fun time. 1348 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 1: What advice are you giving them as they're going through 1349 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 1: the process. 1350 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 4: Oh? 1351 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 7: Man, just work, you know, I'm telling them all the time. 1352 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 7: Just keep working. I mean, things will come and you know, 1353 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 7: you'll end up where you're often supposed to be, But 1354 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 7: you have to put in the work because without it, 1355 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 7: I mean, you're going to be nothing, and there's always 1356 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 7: going to be somebody out working. You are working just 1357 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,959 Speaker 7: as hard as you think you are, so just keep working. 1358 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 1: Nonetheless, let me ask your one final question about the NFL. Obviously, 1359 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: you played in Arizona. You crushed it there. What's happening there? 1360 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 1: They just fired their coach. I guess what he's talking about. Culture? 1361 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Did they have it? 1362 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 4: It doesn't look like it right now. Most certainly. 1363 01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 7: I mean, especially when you're in a situation to where 1364 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,880 Speaker 7: you're running through multiple coaches, you're running through multiple gms 1365 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 7: and people in the front office. 1366 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 4: That's a tough task. 1367 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 7: It's hard to build a culture when you don't have 1368 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,360 Speaker 7: that continuity upstairs in the front office. And I think 1369 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 7: right now that's what we're seeing. I mean, they're not 1370 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 7: giving guys a lot of time to win, and that's 1371 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,840 Speaker 7: all it is. International Football League in general. They want 1372 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 7: to win right now. So you're getting two two to 1373 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 7: three years to go out and develop a program, build 1374 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 7: a culture, and expect it to win. 1375 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 4: And that's a hard task. But it starts in the 1376 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 4: front office, you know. 1377 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 7: I think when Steve Kahin was there where he was 1378 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,480 Speaker 7: at the GM position, they were winning games. They were 1379 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 7: doing a really good job and retaining players and bringing 1380 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 7: players in from the free agency aspect. And right now 1381 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 7: they just haven't been able to get it done. And 1382 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 7: I think it starts upstairs. They have to figure out 1383 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 7: the right guys and the right pieces to the puzzle. 1384 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 7: And Bidwill who's the owner. He's a great owner. He's 1385 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 7: willing to give, you know, the GM and the coaching 1386 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 7: staff whatever they need to win, but it has to, 1387 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 7: you know, start with whoever they choose at the GM position. 1388 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 1: Over on Twitter, Beanie Wells twenty six, Hey, your CBS 1389 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 1: analysis really good.

But secondly it was to you know, 1397 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 7: talk about the sport for a living. And you know, 1398 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 7: I'm fortunate enough to be able to do that as 1399 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 7: something that's fun to me because I actually love college football, 1400 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 7: so it's not even like work to me whatsoever.

You're right, because he runs 1439 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 3: back and forth and dancing like oh, and he talks 1440 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 3: to the players.

He's 1458 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 3: a huge, you know, supporter of Miami and is the 1459 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 3: face of Miami. I get it, but I want to 1460 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,160 Speaker 3: watch the game, and I think Michael Irvin takes takes 1461 01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 3: that away from the team that's actually playing the game. 1462 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:46,520 Speaker 1: You think Travis Kelsey's retiring, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I 1463 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 1: don't think so why not? I just I just I 1464 01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't think you go out like 1465 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 1: that bad. He goes out sour. 1466 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:54,600 Speaker 4: Well. 1467 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 1: Now he's also on the drama with his charity. 1468 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 4: I saw that. 1469 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 3: They steal money, money laundering. 1470 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 1: Somewhere of my mind goes so I'm not gonna say 1471 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,240 Speaker 1: and you look it up, because I'm going to give 1472 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,000 Speaker 1: you what I know and this is without reading the 1473 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 1: articles that I think when they did some investigati of 1474 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,960 Speaker 1: his charities, like forty percent of it went to the 1475 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: actual cause, sixty percent went to the people that were 1476 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,080 Speaker 1: running the charity. And the people that are running charity 1477 01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 1: were like his close And that's not out of the ordinary. 1478 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 3: No, that's normal. 1479 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're going, well, you're a really rich dude, 1480 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: and it's your foundation. We think more money should be 1481 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 1: going to the charity other than just paying like your 1482 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: people that are your possible friends and family that are 1483 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: running the charity. There's nothing illegal happening. And with most 1484 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,520 Speaker 1: charities that's kind of how it goes. Yeah, I've done 1485 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 1: pay for the infrastructure. 1486 01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,760 Speaker 3: And you yeah, and the people running the charity, the 1487 01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,160 Speaker 3: people working for the charity needs to get paid, you know. 1488 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 3: And so that's kind of it's a weird thought to 1489 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 3: think that, you know, you have money and some of it, 1490 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,240 Speaker 3: not all of it goes to whatever the cause is 1491 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 3: because people need to get paid. 1492 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 1: I think it's really dumb and short sighted when people go, man, 1493 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: this ceo arity, he makes a million dollars a year. 1494 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 1: That shouldn't happen. But okay, let's say you get somebody 1495 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,919 Speaker 1: that makes fifty thousand dollars a year and the charity 1496 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,920 Speaker 1: makes a million bucks overall. Or you get someone you 1497 01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 1: pay a million bucks that would be running another company 1498 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 1: and the charity makes seven hundred million dollars because they 1499 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Because they know what they're doing, Like, 1500 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,200 Speaker 1: do you actually care about the cause? Because if you did, 1501 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 1: you wouldn't so much care about how much money somebody 1502 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 1: makes if they're making more money for the cause. So 1503 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,920 Speaker 1: I always think those people are idiotic. They complained about 1504 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 1: CEOs of a charity making money because if they weren't 1505 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,080 Speaker 1: doing that, they'd be running a company. Yes, but they 1506 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 1: go and hire people that run companies well to run 1507 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:33,880 Speaker 1: this charity. 1508 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 5: What do you see, Kevin, Yeah, it says about forty 1509 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 5: one cents of every dollar has gone to the charity, 1510 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 5: raised in the last couple of years one point five 1511 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 5: million and spending roughly one. 1512 01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 4: Point one million. 1513 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 5: And who is running the charity It is a a 1514 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,640 Speaker 5: Anda management group, a firm co founded by Travis Kelsey's 1515 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 5: longtime business manager. 1516 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 1: So that's connected to him. To sure, I don't think 1517 01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 1: anything's wrong, but that's the controversy. 1518 01:06:58,360 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 4: Now. 1519 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,280 Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything wrong either. I mean, yes, 1520 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 3: it's a little weird. It sounds weird, right, It sounds 1521 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 3: weird that more money doesn't go to the actual cause 1522 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 3: of the charity. But I understand it, so it's not weird. 1523 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,880 Speaker 1: Ex Amplified though, because it's Travis Kelcey and he's at 1524 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift and he's also a really rich guy. And 1525 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:14,880 Speaker 1: you're like, well, why don't you just pay the people 1526 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 1: to run the charity because you have millions and millions 1527 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 1: of dollars? 1528 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 3: What do you think about that? 1529 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: I think it's unfair to judge him because he's differently 1530 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,360 Speaker 1: because of the accomplishments and the success that he's had. 1531 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,640 Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, I think they're running the charity as 1532 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,480 Speaker 1: the charity should be run. From what I know, I 1533 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 1: know very little. A lot of I haven't been in 1534 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,480 Speaker 1: the books. Give me the books. I'll get in the 1535 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:32,880 Speaker 1: Boo book. 1536 01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 3: Give me a week with the books, give me the book. 1537 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:41,320 Speaker 1: We'll see how I come out. But yeah, I I 1538 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 1: tend to think if Mahomes is healthy enough to come 1539 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 1: back at the beginning of next year, you'll come back, 1540 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 1: that he may come back as well. It is an 1541 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: ugly way to leave Yeah, this is a bad year, 1542 01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 1: bad taste in your mouth, sour out. 1543 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,160 Speaker 3: When's the wedding? Who knows? There's no date. 1544 01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:01,480 Speaker 1: My invitation says, pull it up, rand and open for 1545 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. 1546 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 3: Yeah that's right. Yes, he did the Red Tour right. 1547 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're not kidding. No, not a jokey Yeah, 1548 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: but you're making it sound like we're kidding. Yeah. 1549 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 3: What was she like, dude? 1550 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,560 Speaker 6: She was awesome. Yeah, I mean everything everybody says.

Like, look at you? 1553 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 3: I mean, hey, Brandon, I. 1554 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,160 Speaker 6: I think she got my name wrong a few times, 1555 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:30,720 Speaker 6: but I didn't care. But by the end of it, 1556 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 6: she knew it. 1557 01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 5: Hey, let's go on, Braxton Braiden. 1558 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,080 Speaker 3: That's cool though, that's awesome. 1559 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, who's the favorite? When the Super Bowl? According of 1560 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 1: the odds? Eddie, I know you haven't seen it, so 1561 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:47,479 Speaker 1: I have. 1562 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 3: Not seen it. I'm going to guess. I'm going to guess. 1563 01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: The bills No, no, no, no, no, no, bad they're 1564 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,760 Speaker 1: plus eleven hundred, Dan, that's so you should bet on that. 1565 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,760 Speaker 1: Det that's a really good I got a little bit 1566 01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,200 Speaker 1: on them as a future. 1567 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did two like a couple months ago. 1568 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 1: The Seahawks is the favorite, yeah, plus three twenty. The 1569 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: Rams are second plus four hundred, and I think if 1570 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 1: the Rams win this week that will probably even itself out. 1571 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,519 Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks are getting that slight edge because 1572 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: they have a bye week. 1573 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, and the home field they're out. 1574 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:20,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1575 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,400 Speaker 1: The Broncos at three, the Patriots at four plus nine hundred, 1576 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,800 Speaker 1: But the big gap is between the Rams and the Broncos. 1577 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 5: It goes from what did you say? 1578 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 9: Three plus three hundred nine hundred plus six fifty is 1579 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 9: the Broncos, Patriots, Eagles, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Houston, Green Bay, Chicago, 1580 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 9: San Francisco, the Chargers, the Steelers and Panthers are at 1581 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 9: plus twenty thousand. 1582 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,719 Speaker 3: Dang, that's a nice payout. 1583 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 1: Okay, what is that? Just a update? Because I haven't 1584 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 1: seen it, and you have what do we own? Our 1585 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 1: Skins league going to the playoffs? 1586 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 5: Boys, you did the math and no, I didn't do 1587 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 5: the math. We just looked at that math forty nine hundred. 1588 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:00,919 Speaker 3: For word down before the postseason. 1589 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 1: So basically five grand, which would mean I owe twenty five. 1590 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:07,000 Speaker 1: You guys ow twelve to fifty each We need the 1591 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 1: Patriots to win to only lose like one hundred bucks 1592 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:10,439 Speaker 1: this week. 1593 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,800 Speaker 3: Okay, just this week, but if they lose, we lose 1594 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:15,640 Speaker 3: like six hundred six to seven hundred buck and then 1595 01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,439 Speaker 3: we stop making money. Yeah, yeah, we're done. 1596 01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 1: But we don't make money in the first two weeks. 1597 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,720 Speaker 1: We're just trying to stay even. They need to win 1598 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,639 Speaker 1: so we don't lose money the first two weeks. Okay, 1599 01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 1: the only thing that makes me feel better is we're 1600 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 1: not the We don't owe the biggest. 1601 01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 3: That doesn't make me feel better. 1602 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:31,200 Speaker 1: What's that number right now? 1603 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,080 Speaker 5: That's seventy nine hundred. 1604 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 2: Ay yay yaye. 1605 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,600 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, dude, that would sting. 1606 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,880 Speaker 1: If the Patriots. Just doing some math for you guys 1607 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,840 Speaker 1: so you can know, I we're forty nine now and 1608 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,560 Speaker 1: there are what six games. 1609 01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:46,679 Speaker 3: This weekend? 1610 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think you're talking about the Patriots. 1611 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,639 Speaker 1: So we could basically lose another thousand this week, another 1612 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,840 Speaker 1: thousand the next week if the Patriots lose. So if 1613 01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 1: we lose Patriots win, we're probably even. 1614 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 3: Okay, so it doesn't matter. 1615 01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 1: Now five hundred, so I would say we could lose 1616 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 1: that if they lose lose this week we're gonna be 1617 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 1: down one thousand more after next week, so we could 1618 01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,920 Speaker 1: lose another fifteen sixteen hundred bucks. If the Patriots lose 1619 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 1: a medial, we will Okay, the Patriots lose this week, 1620 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose another fifteen sixteen hundred buck So it's 1621 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:19,600 Speaker 1: going to. 1622 01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,639 Speaker 5: Be basically it's a eight grand right to be safe. 1623 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,439 Speaker 1: Now, no, probably seven, okay seven for the season. 1624 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 3: Probably. 1625 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,200 Speaker 1: I would say, oh, yeah, you want super conservative. 1626 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:29,599 Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, I want real. 1627 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 1: Well, I can't do the real because I want worst case, 1628 01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:39,439 Speaker 1: the worst case, realistic, seventy five hundred. Okay, we need 1629 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:41,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots to win or that's gonna be what it 1630 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:42,600 Speaker 1: is the Panthers, Right, what. 1631 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 3: About the Panthers winning? What if they win the whole thing? 1632 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,680 Speaker 1: If they win the whole thing, that's gonna save us 1633 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 1: four hundred bucks. 1634 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:52,600 Speaker 3: Go all right, it's already impossible. 1635 01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,760 Speaker 6: But okay, guys, I know it's January, but should we 1636 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 6: start a car wash, should be a food drive, any 1637 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,679 Speaker 6: offerings so we could. 1638 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,760 Speaker 1: Lose, let's just say so bad, what's up? 1639 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:11,200 Speaker 3: That's so bad? Those numbers are bad, like like, and 1640 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 3: I know everytime you do something like this, you're like oh, 1641 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 3: there's a chance we can probably owe a lot of money. 1642 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,800 Speaker 3: But I didn't. I wasn't really ready for all that. 1643 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 3: I wanted us to be like, oh my god, we 1644 01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,240 Speaker 3: want ten thousand dollars off this thing. 1645 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 1: It's awesome and we definitely could have. 1646 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:27,679 Speaker 3: We could have, we didn't. 1647 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,600 Speaker 1: So if we get to seventy five hundred, each of 1648 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,080 Speaker 1: you guys will owe eighteen hundred bucks basically. Okay, So 1649 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: just say the worst case scenario two thousand dollars. 1650 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:38,120 Speaker 3: Okay. 1651 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,360 Speaker 1: And why didn't Brandon jump on this because he's smart? 1652 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1653 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:42,360 Speaker 5: Remember you wanted to go. 1654 01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:45,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was never asked. 1655 01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:47,760 Speaker 1: Here's the question for you guys. 1656 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 3: You want to jump in new brain take over for me? 1657 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,439 Speaker 1: Maybe next year?
