1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,920

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: me Jason McIntyre. Here fun Straight Fire. Friday December. Struggle

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: to go to bed last night, folks, Oh my goodness,

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: I was on the struggle bus watching the Chargers and

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Rob G's Raiders. What a thrilling game. Will get to

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: that in a second. Just want to quickly remind you

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: guys subscribe, rate and review those reviews over the holidays.

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Oh they wore, wore my heart. Love those um. And

9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: let's not forget Danny Canell. A really good interview coming

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: up shortly. We'll quickly recap Chargers Raiders and get to

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: Danny Canell. And then a special best bet folks. I

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: went a little hog wild because we're hot. I won

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: seven or eight, Um, the numbers are looking good. Um,

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: getting some extra Christmas spending money. I made three college

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: football bets. I know we haven't done those and forever.

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: And then a slew of NFL plays teasers, totals the

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: whole everything. You're gonna love it. But first we've got

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: to start with the mess, the utter disaster that was

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn and the Chargers trying to put away Marcus

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: Mariota and the Raiders. Mariota came in relief for Derek Carr,

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: who looked like he just pulled his groins scrambling to

22
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: get in the end zone in the first quarter. First drive.

23
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: And it's weird, but I don't know about I'll gotta

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: let you chime in and a sect rob g. I

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: thought Marcus Mariota looked tremendous in this game, and we

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: hadn't seen him in action what like a year. He

27
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: got bench somewhere middle of the way last year in Tennessee.

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Tannehill lit it up and then he comes out, and

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean I was stunned. Mariota really looked sharp. Um.

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: The interception late in the fourth quarter hurt obviously, Uh

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: it was a little behind Agila, he got a hand

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: on it. But that was really the only bad play

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: I thought I saw from Mariota in three plus quarters.

34
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: I didn't love the play calls at the goal line now,

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's on Mariota, the o c Um,

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: you don't look at Darren Waller once like thank you

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: for that. Um. I was just stunned. You're throwing it

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: to a fullback on third goal in overtime like very

39
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: very puzzling, um. But overall, Marcus Mariota was tremendous, Like

40
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: sevent to twenty six. He ran nine times for eighty

41
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: eight yards, a lot of r p O stuff. Obviously,

42
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers had not been practiced for him, so I mean,

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: I mean Mariotta was running one on one in the

44
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: open field with guys and he was he was clown

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: suiting him. So a really good performance. In relief, he

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: didn't get the window because Justin Herbert was tremendous despite

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: the best efforts from Anthony Lynn and the money Badger,

48
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: to cost the Chargers the game and cost me a

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: lot of money. I would have been so ticked, um

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: if the Chargers had blown this. And listen, I don't

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: want to act like degenerate gambler, but I felt confident

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: about this one. I had the Chargers plus three and

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: a half and plus three and multiple times there at

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: the end of the game, the Chargers were ready to

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: blow it, folks, I kid you not. One of the

56
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: craziest stats I've seen. Justin Herbert attempted one pass in

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That's it. That's it. One pass in

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. What are you doing just unbelievable stuff. Now,

59
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: I know the Raiders had a very long drive. I

60
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: think the longest touchdown drive of the season. It was

61
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: over ten minutes. But still the Chargers were in good shape.

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: You're inside five minutes, and that's when I start to

63
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: sweat because I know Anthony Lynn finds a way to

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: blow these damn games. The Chargers, thanks to black bad

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: play callings, settle for a field goal and the money

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Badger shakes it left. So at that point I start

67
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: flipping out Car, Sorry not Car. Mariota moves it down

68
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: the field into field goal range and then the interception comes.

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: They Chargers run it back and like all right, Chargers

70
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: have this, and the money Badger misses again, and at

71
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: that point it's like, bro, just get off the sideline.

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: We're not kicking regardless of circumstance. There's no trust in you.

73
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: And then the Raiders go down and botch it, trying

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: to kick a sixty five yard or for the win

75
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: that would have helped Rob G's fantasy team. The snap

76
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: is muffled so they don't even get the kick off,

77
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: goes to overtime, Graiders win the coin toss, march all

78
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: the way down the field fail and you know, luckily

79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert was able to lead them down the field

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: and get the touchdown. Um, Herbert's phenomenal. Guys. I'm sorry

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: I dug up some old, an old Twitter discussion I

82
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: had with Dan Orlovski. We're friendly. Uh, you know, I

83
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: saw him at the super Bowl. We talked. He's a

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: nice guy. Um, but he was adamant that Justin Herbert

85
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: should not have gone to Miami and it should have

86
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: been too Uh. And all along I was on team Herbert.

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: I think this kid is something special. He just looks

88
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: the part, Like does anyone throw a better deep ball

89
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: at his age in the NFL? I mean, it's just

90
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: everything looks so flawless. Um, I'm a big Justin Herbert guy.

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: And what's even more impressive, So Keenan Allen was dinged up,

92
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: had one catch for seventeen yards. Mike Williams was hurt,

93
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: two catches twenty two yards. So Herbert a rookie. He's

94
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: throwing to Guyton, somebody named Johnson who I don't know,

95
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: and a guy and a kid named Hill. Like, I'm

96
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: just marveling at this performance. Um by Justin Herbert. Quick

97
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: word on Joey Bosa, who is an absolute animal living

98
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: in the backfield. I swear he must have had three

99
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: tackles of Josh Jacobs in the backfield. He was just

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: always back there. He didn't get a sack, but he

101
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: was playing his butt off and then he left injured. UM,

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: which hurt. But we I gotta turn it over to

103
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: Rob G resident Raiders fan who I know is not

104
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: happy with the result. Raiders seven and seven almost certainly

105
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: out of the playoff mix here, Rob G. Down the stretch,

106
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: they will have a chance against Miami, obviously, that is

107
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: mustible when they get that at home, and that's the

108
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: day after Christmas and they close out with the Broncos,

109
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: a team they battered badly earlier this season. Um, Raiders

110
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: have to win out and they'll need some help. But

111
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: how are you feeling at this point? Rob, Well, needa's

112
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: to say, I'm upset. Not only did they lose the game,

113
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: but I'm going against someone in fantasy who had Justin Herbert,

114
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: So not only did they lose, but they lose on

115
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: it Justin Herbert quarterback sneak, which counts a six points

116
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: that a four, So that could be uh tough there

117
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: here in this this round. But it was it was

118
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: such a rough game to watch. I mean, even as

119
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: a Raider fan, it was like we were texting back

120
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: for it. It It was just a ship show on both sides.

121
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean you you brought it up. The both teams

122
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: didn't really want to win the game. Even the final

123
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: play where Justin Herbert scores, it looked like he was

124
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: like a foot short. And then on the way down

125
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: in the pile is when he extends in scores. And

126
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: it was just all it was bad all around. Um,

127
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota looked good for a backup quarterback. We'll see

128
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 1: how he looks next week in the All Hawaiian Bowl

129
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: again to uh looking forward to that spicy I forgot

130
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: about well. I mean that's assuming Car doesn't start. I

131
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: think Car popped his groin, so I don't. I'm almost positive.

132
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. I just dug up the number.

133
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: It looks like the Raiders have a five percent chance

134
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. That's it. So you're telling me

135
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: there's a chance. No, I mean it would even if

136
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: they would have wonned last night, they it would have

137
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: been tough because I think Baltimore their scheduled wage shapes out,

138
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, Cleveland, even though they have the head to head.

139
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: The way their schedule shapes out, you know, it's it

140
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: would have been tough sledding either way. But at least

141
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: now I can start scouting some draft picks. I'm curious

142
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: what you think about the Mariota cars situation, because again

143
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: I saw Mariota. My first thought was, Holy hell, Bill

144
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Belichick is just gonna scoop him up, and that's gonna

145
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: be a marriage made in heaven. And Belichick is gonna

146
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: get right back into the playoffs because Mariota looked really good.

147
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Now I know the Chargers adopted planned for him. Um,

148
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: and it'll be a tall order next week if he

149
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: does start against Miami, which has two awesome cornerbacks. Uh.

150
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard's one of the best in the league. Byron

151
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Jones is good. He's not great, Um, but that'll be

152
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: a tall order. But Mariona could have made him some

153
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: money tonight. Well, no, you said it right there. They

154
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance the game platform him. And now

155
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: that he's playing, and I'm sure that he is going

156
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: to start next week, so they're going to know exactly

157
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: what he can do, what he can't do. The one

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: thing that will help the Raiders against the Dolphins is

159
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: they don't have good receivers anyways. So you know the

160
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: fact that the Dolphins have great corners is kind of

161
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: moot because you're not throwing to the receivers anyways. And

162
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: real quick, I know where to get to the interview.

163
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: I just want to say, Gavin, who runs our social

164
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: media account, was in a group chat with you and

165
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: I during the game. He's a big chang and you know,

166
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, he was saying he's

167
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: going off on this long rant like, oh, they don't

168
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: even want to win this game, my Chargers, they're actively

169
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: trying to lose. You can tale by the play calling.

170
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: And then I'm in another group chat with him in

171
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: a Fantasy Football League group chat, and then after they

172
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: want he said, oh, never in doubt, I knew all

173
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: the along my Chargers are gonna win. So Gavin, screw you, man,

174
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: look at that getting personal Vendetta's out podcast. Listen. Gavin

175
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: is a long suffering Chargers fan, and I know he's

176
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: bet on them a lot. I have as well. Listen

177
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: to the Chargers were great and they made money. Rivers

178
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: that run to the a f C second round of

179
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They took down Lamar Jackson in the first round.

180
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: Um and and the last two years Anthony Lynn. I mean,

181
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: there's just zero chance they retained the guy. There's no shot.

182
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: He's so bad, rob and I don't mean listen. It

183
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: gets tough as the podcast grows on. Our numbers have

184
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: been really up, so thank you guys for the support.

185
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: But as the as the audience goes, I I grapple

186
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: with this sometimes and we could dig into it next week.

187
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: Is like, it's easy when the podcast is small and

188
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: you know we've got a small amount of listeners at

189
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: the beginning, and you want to go in on somebody hard, okay,

190
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: But as the podcast grows and the audience gets larger

191
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: and you get more influential people listening, you do feel

192
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: a little bit bad. I don't want to take a

193
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: ship on Anthony Lynn, but he is a terrible football coach. Guys,

194
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: if you watch that keep what is he thinking? He

195
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: everything he did in the first half worked, wonders third

196
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: quarter comes out and instantly is like what am I doing?

197
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Oh let me punt from Raider's territory, and it's like,

198
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: what are you doing half back dive on I think

199
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: it was third and one and you lose four yards

200
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: and then you punt and then what does Mariotta do,

201
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: come right down the field score. It's just like Anthony,

202
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: it was like he knew they were going to adjust

203
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: to him, so it's like, let me adjust first, so

204
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: I can adjust to their adjustment and see how that

205
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: works out. And another thing just to just to pull

206
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: back the curtain America. This was the first time I

207
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: was in a chat with Jason where he was active,

208
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: like talking about a game he had bet on and

209
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: seeing the wild boot swings via text is funny. I

210
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: wish that America could see your group chat. How until

211
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: you were during that game last night. I can only

212
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: imagine when you're on an NFL Sunday with multiple games going,

213
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: how bad you must be. Well listen, Rob And again

214
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: this is something we also need to do more and

215
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Jerry O'Connell talked about a little bit earlier this

216
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: week when he was on how he gets angry about

217
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: his kids during Fantasy and like, my kids were hanging

218
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: around me during that game Thursday night. And again, I'm

219
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: not one of these weirdos who's like totally freaking out.

220
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of freaking out a little bit, and

221
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm all right, guys, guys, go to bed. You gotta

222
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: have to get away from me because I can't take

223
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn screwing up every freaking play. And you guys

224
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: just like asking me a million questions like it's it's tough.

225
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: So I gotta work on that. That'll be a project

226
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: for me. And let's get to a great interview with

227
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: CBS Sports is Danny Cannell. Jason likes to think he

228
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: knows everything when it comes to sports. I know what

229
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: sports stands want, but for everything he doesn't, he knows

230
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: a guy who does. Let's just say I know a

231
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: guy who knows a guy who knows anohing guy. All right,

232
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: let's welcome into straight fire. A guy I've known, Cheese

233
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: probably for a good ten years. Saw him down at

234
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl at the Gifting Suites. We were acting

235
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: like we were ballers. He's actually a bowler. I mean, goodness, gracious,

236
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: this guy. Cover of Sports Illustrated. I believe NFL quarterback

237
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: with the Giants. Danny Cannell, what's up, Danny? How you do?

238
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: How you doing? I'm awesome and I think that's the

239
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: first time I've been introduced as a Sports Illustrated cover boy. Technically, yes,

240
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: I was on not one, but two Sports Illustrated covers.

241
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: One was when Scott Bentley, who was the high school

242
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: All American Kicker of the Year, was coming to Florida

243
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: State and he before he had kicked one ball. There

244
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: was so much hype around Wide left, one and two

245
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Wide right that they actually wanted to promote prote him

246
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: and they were gonna give him the cover without kicking.

247
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: So I was like, he was my roommate, So I said, hey,

248
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: you're going to kick. I'm like, who's holding for you?

249
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: It's like I don't know. So it's like I am,

250
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm holding on the cover. And then the other one

251
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: was the ninety three we won the national championship and

252
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: there's like there's a swath of Florida State players celebrating

253
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: and you can see my arm in there. So I'm

254
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: kind so f s U so Danny. Now, I've known

255
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: Danny for a long time. He's very Actually, a lot

256
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: of the athletes, listen, Danny, I keep trying to keep

257
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: it real here. There's a lot of them with egos,

258
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: understandably so you know, millionaires, women beat throwing themselves at

259
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: you for years, thousands of fans screening for you in

260
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: every stadium. Danny's a pretty down to earth dude. UM

261
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: and Danny, Since we mentioned F s U and Sports Illustrated,

262
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: let's go back. Um. It was recently National signing Day.

263
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: I didn't pay close attention to it, but I'm curious.

264
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: You're you were dominant in high school basketball, I believe, baseball,

265
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: and football. What was the recruiting process like to get

266
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: you to F s U? Were there other serious contenders? Oh? Yeah,

267
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: it was. It was nuts. So I was I don't

268
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: like to brag, uh, but you kind of opened up

269
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: the door to Uh. So, I was the number one

270
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: rated pocket passer coming out of high school. And Tommy Fraser,

271
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: who ended up playing in Nebraska, had an incredible career there,

272
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: won a couple of national championships. He was the number

273
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: one running quarterback, dual threat quarterback. So coming out, so

274
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: I had offers pretty much from anywhere I wanted to go.

275
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean there were you know, ninety plus offers. The

276
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I VS came after me because I was a pretty

277
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: good student. Do you remember when your first offer was Um,

278
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: I remember the first no no, because I didn't start

279
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: playing football until my junior or high school. I didn't start.

280
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: I was a basketball and baseball player. I love those

281
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: two sports. I didn't even really want to play football,

282
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: but the uh the quarterback and graduated. My baseball buddies

283
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: also played football. They knew I had a good arm

284
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: and uh. They basically peer pressured me into play, and

285
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: so I was like, all right, I'll go out and

286
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: it's the course of my life. You know, it's been crazy. Um,

287
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: so that's how I got started. But my first year,

288
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: we won the state championship, and that kind of that

289
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: put me on the map. But I still had no

290
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: idea that I was gonna be a football player. I

291
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: came in, so we played my my junior year fall

292
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: was the first time I'd ever played football. We win,

293
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: We win the high school champions state championship, and then

294
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: the spring we have spring practice and it's you know,

295
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: it's after baseball, so it's May and we're doing our

296
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: spring practice and there's coaches out watching our practice. You know,

297
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: you see Steve Spurrier's out there, Bobby Bounds out there,

298
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: George Perlis was out there, Gary Mueller like all he's

299
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: had coaches and a ton of assistant coaches, and so

300
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: it's going and I like, you know, players are talking

301
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: like oh they're so and so I'm like, oh, that's cool.

302
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: And so about a week or two into it, my

303
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: coach called me in. The head coach called me in

304
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: and he said, Danny said, you realize why all these

305
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: coaches were here. I was like, yeah, they're here looking

306
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: for recruits, you know, trying to see who's good and

307
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: try out. And he's like, uh no, He's like, they're

308
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: all here for you. And I was like, oh, I

309
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: was like really, He said, yeah, they they've never come

310
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: to our practice before. I went to a tiny, single

311
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: a high school where you know, I was the biggest

312
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: guy in the team, and so he explained this to me,

313
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: and that's when it kind of hit me. Was, oh,

314
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: this is kind of a big deal. I had no

315
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: clue I was. I was still intent on playing baseball

316
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: and basketball in college and I didn't I didn't want

317
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: to play football in college. And then because of the

318
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: opportunities that were afforded to me, I just I was like, man,

319
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: I have to jump on these opportunities. So were you

320
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: a big guy at this time. I know, yeah, I

321
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: mean I was pretty no, I was six three. I'm

322
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: six four now, but I was six three as a

323
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: freshman and high school, so I was pretty tall and

324
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: pretty developed. And so even as a junior in high school,

325
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: I could still throw it, you know, sixty seventy yards.

326
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: I was thrown in the low nineties as a baseball pitcher.

327
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: Uh and was drafted out of high school as well.

328
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: And then we're one of the reasons I went to

329
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: Florida State, you know, kind of going back to how

330
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: do you end up at Florida State. I took visits

331
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: to Florida, to Michigan, to Washington, who was a national

332
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: championship team that year in nineteen nine, and uh so

333
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: I took a visit out there. But I wanted to

334
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: play two sports, and Florida State gave me the best

335
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: opportunity to do that, and so that was kind of

336
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: And I love coach Bowden Mark Rick was my kind

337
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: of quarterback coach recruiter, so I love them, but really

338
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: the ability to play two sports was one of the

339
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: reasons I went with there. So, um, you were one

340
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: of these guys who, like as a freshman, was starting

341
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: varsity basketball and dating like a senior cheerleader, and you

342
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: were like getting into all the parties, right, the big

343
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: man on campus. Right is it that easy to see?

344
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: Like it kind of like it. I you you set

345
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: it up. I don't have to say anything. But basically

346
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: you get a lot of things right. You didn't get

347
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things right. Yes, all right, So let

348
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: me ask you where your parents athletes? Is that where

349
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: you got the genetics or my dad, My dad was

350
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: a really good athlete. So my dad six eight, so

351
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: I actually got the short into the stick. I'm only

352
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: six four. Uh, my mom is five six. She was

353
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: a cheerleader from my dad who played football, basketball, and

354
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: baseball in high school. And so like they had the

355
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: high school sweetheart relationships, still married you fifty plus years later. Um,

356
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: but my dad was a really good athlete. He was

357
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: a basketball player, uh, and got offers to a lot

358
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: of big time programs. But he so then he broke

359
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: his leg playing football his senior year. He broke his femur.

360
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: And at the time, you know we're talking in uh,

361
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: you know, late fifties, early sixties, that's kind of a

362
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: devastating blow to your basketball career. So he wasn't able

363
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: to play basketball anymore. But when he ended up, he

364
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: went to pitt because he was from Pittsburgh, and he

365
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: went to pit on a scholarship for track because he

366
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: threw the shot and discus which didn't require as much pounding.

367
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: So he for a while held the shot put record

368
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: at the University of Pittsburgh, which was kind of cool. Um.

369
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, So I definitely I was gifted. Like I

370
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: do think probably eighty eight of getting there being in NFL, NBA,

371
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: major League Baseball, whatever it is, I think eight percent

372
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: of it is natural God given ability that you're that

373
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: you're you know, blessed with to an extent. Now, there

374
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: are certain guys that have worked themselves that probably have

375
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: fift less talent but percent more work ethic. But I've

376
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: got to overcome that. Don't listen, don't sell your work

377
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: ethic short Okay again, I've worked with a lot of athletes, Danny,

378
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and they show up like, hey, what are

379
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: we talking about? No notes, no computer, nothing, no pen.

380
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: They don't give it. They don't care. They just they're like,

381
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: I'll just tell my stories. But you you know, that's

382
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: why I liked you, And I think we clicked. You

383
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 1: always do your homework and know your ship. So let

384
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: me ask you. You go to f s U and

385
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: at this point you're like, oh, school, free ride. You know,

386
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: I get a scholarship. But did you still think like

387
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: NFL future, that could be that could be next for me?

388
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: Did you think that? No? I still didn't, even as

389
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: a freshman. Again, you don't understand how small single a

390
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: football was. When I say I was the biggest player

391
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: on the team, Like I was bigger than every offensive lineman.

392
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I total Like we had some short,

393
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: pudgy like five nine guy who was two oh five,

394
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: but I was six three, two oh five, so like

395
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: technically I was bigger. He was an offensive lineman body,

396
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: but like I and the competition wasn't great. Now, we

397
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: had a fun system and we threw it. But when

398
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: I went to Florida State and I walked in and

399
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: Marvin Shade Tree Jones was on the other side, Derek

400
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: Brooks was on the defense, Sterling Palmer, Dan Footman, Carl Simpson,

401
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: like all these guys played multiple years in the NFL.

402
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: And I was this, you know, freshman coming in here

403
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: like wide eyed. Because I also went to a private,

404
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, very strict Christian school. Um, and there I'm

405
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: in Florida State and I'm looking at these guys who

406
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: were grown men, I mean three year old, and I'm

407
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: still like kind of scrawny. I hadn't like lifted very

408
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: many weights, and I was like, I was worried about surviving,

409
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: much less becoming the starter or getting to the NFL.

410
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: At the time, I was still more fired up about

411
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: playing baseball at Florida State. I was like, oh, man,

412
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: well I'll get through this and then I'll be able

413
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: to play baseball in the spring. And um, so that

414
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: was that was crazy. And then then when I was

415
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: I started playing and it always kind of just came

416
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: easier to me, uh, just football on the success. I

417
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: didn't work super hard at the time. I studied, so

418
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: I knew my plays but didn't take it to the

419
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: next level. And a lot of it is because it

420
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 1: just kept coming easy. I was having all this success,

421
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: and I was putting good positions, and there was an

422
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: incredible amount of talent around me on my side of

423
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: the ball too, So I was smart enough to now

424
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: I could throw it straight enough that I knew where

425
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: to go with the football and I had so many

426
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: talented weapons around me, I just threw it to those

427
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: guys and they did all the work. Um. I guess

428
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: one of the things I've been pushing and I don't

429
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: know if other people have pushed this as well, but

430
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: we had Scott mccluy in the former GM on the

431
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: podcast this week, and he was a big baseball guy too.

432
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: When I said, listen right now in the NFL, Pat

433
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: mahomes Kyler Murray big time baseball player recruits. Russell Russell

434
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Wilson was the other big one. It's like there is

435
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: some similarity right between throwing a baseball and throwing a football.

436
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: Do you think the baseball helped set you up for it?

437
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: I think all the sports that I played helping at basketball. Yeah,

438
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: because I love playing basketball. Might have been the sport

439
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: I love to practice. You know, this is a as

440
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: a hooper, like, it's just the most fun to practice

441
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: basketball because it's like playing a game. Yeah, we still

442
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: had drills, we had to do all those things, but

443
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: I love playing basketball, and I think the agility, like

444
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: pocket movement, uh, you know, just court awareness kind of

445
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: being on the field. You know, as you're a good

446
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: passer in basketball, like seeing the whole court, anticipating moves,

447
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: like all those things that I learned a basketball from

448
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: a very young age, I think carried over to football,

449
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: and I think from baseball you mentioned it are mangles.

450
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Look at Patrick Mahomes like he was a middle endfielder,

451
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: which most guys that are good in high school play

452
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: shortstop right, so you're turning to like you're under you know,

453
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: moving the ball side three quarter, you're dropping down, you're

454
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: having to throw as you run to first base and

455
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: pick up a slow roller. So all those things I

456
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: think just kind of help your transition and they kind

457
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: of compliment each other. And the same thing in football,

458
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: Like things that I learned in the football field movements

459
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: that I was making helped me on the basketball and

460
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: baseball court. So I think there's absolutely a correlation in

461
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, how many different sports you played. And I

462
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: would say this because I get this asked all the

463
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: time from parents of young athletes, is when should we specialize?

464
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: You know, or they don't even ask me. I'll be

465
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: like how old your kid and they're like eleven, and

466
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: they'll say, I'm like, what do you want to be?

467
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: He wants to be a quarterback, We've got him in

468
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: quarterback camp seven on seven. I'm like, well, what other

469
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: sports is he doing? None? And I'm like why not?

470
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, you absolutely should be having him play everything,

471
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: and who knows. You know, you might want to be

472
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: in the quarterback, but he might want to be a

473
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: third baseman. You know, let the let the kid decide

474
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: that and let him enjoy it and have fun. I

475
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: totally forgot that you and I played hoops at the

476
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, right and yeah, Ryan Rissilo, Ye, that was

477
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: that was fun. I mean I think you had to

478
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: bang with him in the post because he's a jacked Yeah.

479
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know, canel Cain? Who? But so you

480
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: get to the NFL and uh, you know, as a

481
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: guy who went to Well, you drafted by the Giants. Yeah,

482
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: drafted by the Giants in the fourth drop. You know,

483
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm a Jet S guy and I'm seeing these dumb stories.

484
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Maybe Trevor Lawrence will want to go to New York.

485
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Danny, you're a guy, you know, small school kid,

486
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: You go to f s U, you get drafted by

487
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Come on, how excited? Everybody's got

488
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: to be excited to go to New York, well the Giants.

489
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: I mean, look at what Eli did to get his

490
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: way to the Giants because of the respect of the

491
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: history of the organization, I do. I'm with you on

492
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I think Trevor Lawrence would be more than

493
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: thrilled at the opportunity to go to New York for

494
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: the Jets, even and I know they've had a track

495
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: record as of late. They're kind of like the Cleveland

496
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: Browns that where you become this kind of it becomes

497
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: what you believe becomes true. And everybody thinks the Jets

498
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: stuck in their organization as a joke, and some of

499
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: these might be true right now, right But I mean,

500
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: if you're Trevor Lawrence, you're most likely going to get

501
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: a new coach, you know, maybe you get a new

502
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: general manager. And if you could tie all those things together,

503
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 1: and he does, I'm not saying he gets to choose

504
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: his coach, but if you get a fresh start and

505
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: you kind of take ownership of that, you believe in yourself,

506
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: like I think Trevor Lawrence does, or Joe Burrow did

507
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: last year, or any other quarterback man haven't played and

508
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: I played in New York. I played in Atlanta for

509
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: the Falcons right before VIC got there, right after the

510
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: year they went to the Super Bowl. So it was

511
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: a good time to be in Atlanta. Uh, it's a

512
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: horrible sports town. It doesn't even come close to New

513
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: Yorkers now. Denver played in Denver two years, so I know,

514
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: you've seen three different franchises, totally different vibes, and all

515
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: of them, Atlanta was by far the least interested. You know, Oh,

516
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: there's a football game, maybe we'll go. Maybe not. You know,

517
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: Denver was awesome, rabid fan base, great uh, no one

518
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: to cheer like all those things, great, great support. Uh.

519
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: And then there's New York who that you have to

520
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: get on a waiting list for the Giant season tickets

521
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: to get them passed down through your family, and they're

522
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: gonna be out there and if you're are you know,

523
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: oh and fourteen, they're gonna be there the last two

524
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: games and tell you how bad you are, you know.

525
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: But they're also gonna beat through you, be by you

526
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: in thick and thin. If you guys are winning, Uh,

527
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: they'll be there for you and they'll be like I

528
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: still get Giants fans that remember me from playing and

529
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: be like Oh yeah, I remember nine guys made the playoffs.

530
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: That was so cool and that was I'll never forget

531
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: this pass, and it was it's awesome, Like they're they're

532
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: a great fan base for sure. Do you who has

533
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: more playoff victories? You were Carson Wentz? Uh, we probably

534
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: the same. I made it to the playoffs. I made

535
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: it to the playoffs, but we were oh and one

536
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: in my playoff debut. We we were up nineteen to three,

537
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: blew the lead, and uh, we're playing against the Minnesota

538
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Vikings and they had a late onside kick that they

539
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: recovered and kicked the field goal to win or else.

540
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: We were onto Green Bay and I remember in the

541
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: second half thinking, man, it's gonna be cold and green Bay.

542
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: I swear I thought we were done. I thought we

543
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: were gonna win. I was like, We're going a Green

544
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: Bay and play against Brett Barr. How cool is this

545
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna be Lambeau? And then uh, an hour later, I'm

546
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: in the locker room. You know where what do we

547
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 1: do next? So let me ask. New York can be difficult, right,

548
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: and you're a guy coming out of small school. I'm

549
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: assuming small town um probably wide eyed, although f s

550
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: us you know, you guys are the big ben on

551
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: campus there. You know, I try to get into the

552
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: head of Trevor Lawrence. To me, he seemed super grounded.

553
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: I've never interviewed him. Just everything I've read the you know, interviews,

554
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: I've watched a very religious guy such as yourself, and

555
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not as religious. I don't think is him,

556
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna do fine. There is a

557
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: narrative out there that, oh, he's not a big city

558
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: guy's gonna hate it. What do you what do you

559
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: believe about that? Um? I think if you embrace New York,

560
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: it'll embrace you. And I think Trevor Lawrence will embrace

561
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: New York. And I'm not saying you gotta be Broadway, Joe.

562
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying if you you're a worker and you

563
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: work hard, which Trevor Lawrence will. I think that's something

564
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: that New Yorkers like. They feel like, Hey, we're tough.

565
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: You know, we're aggressive, We're gonna tell you what we think.

566
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: We don't matter, you know, we don't care what you think. UM.

567
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: You know you don't have to take on that mentality.

568
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: But if you're honest with him and you say you're

569
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: gonna work that they'll support you. It could be a

570
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: great fan base. But I don't, I I don't. I

571
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: think Trevor is made for the big moments. Therefore, I

572
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: think he'd be made for the big city and the

573
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: big pressure of the New York media market, which is

574
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: I see. I think it's not as big a deal now.

575
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: No matter where you play, because everybody has national coverage.

576
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna have you or Colin Calherd or you know,

577
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: pick your radio host is gonna be skewer in Carson

578
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: Wentz whether he plays in Philly or whether you're played

579
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: in Denver, or whether he played in l A or

580
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what market you play in, people

581
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: are gonna talk about you, and it's gonna be a

582
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: national pressure cooker. Um. But even you know, twenty years ago,

583
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: when there wasn't as much constant sports coverage, I think

584
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: it was there was more like the birthplace of talk

585
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: radio was New York City. You know, those those guys

586
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: were crushing you and so it added a little bit

587
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: to it. And there's there were many more local papers

588
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: where everything now that's not really localized, I mean local

589
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: newspaper industry struggling like they're they're struggling to say open. Meanwhile,

590
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: you know there's so many sites to cover teams that

591
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that big a deal that you have,

592
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, five people that cover your sport full time.

593
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, now everybody has fifty people that cover them

594
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: full time and do podcasts and everything. Obviously social media,

595
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: you know you've got fans in your pocket every time

596
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: you open Instagram or whatever. Uh, it is wild out there.

597
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. And I know you

598
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: alluded to it that you can't let Trevor pick the coach.

599
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how to phrase this, because we're watching

600
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: James Harden in the NBA. They've given him whatever he wanted.

601
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: Or you want this coach gone, you want this coach in,

602
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: You want to start in out. You know, you tell

603
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: us James and now James turns on. The NFL is different, though.

604
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you ask him, Danny, who do you want?

605
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: But I think you have to have an idea of

606
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: what you're dealing with that I think Lawrence can succeed

607
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: in any offense, and just like Lamar Jackson and Baltimore

608
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: hey Man, let's play to his skill set. Greg Roman

609
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator doing a great job, and it's like,

610
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna cater to a skill set. What

611
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Jets head coaching search? So I

612
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: absolutely think and they'll know, I mean, they're gonna they're

613
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: gonna get the number one pick, so they're gonna take

614
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, so they'll have an idea all right, we

615
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: know his skills that and I think in those interview processes,

616
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: you know you'll have the combine that's gonna be interesting.

617
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I would assume in a couple of months

618
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: they'd be out to meet in purpose. I mean they

619
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: can still do it zoom and you get multiple hours

620
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: with a team, and during that multiple hour like you

621
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: stay overnight, come back to the facility, all that time

622
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: spent with your management if you haven't hired a coach.

623
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: But even like now, even in the coaching process, you

624
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: should be thinking, all right, and I don't think you

625
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: necessarily have to say the head coach is going to

626
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: be the offensive play caller, but you would have a

627
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: head coach who knows that he needs an offensive play

628
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: play caller and a system that can work with Trevor

629
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence and it has to be a priority. If you

630
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: want to go ahead and say, hey, well then it

631
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: has to be the head coach. Then that that you

632
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: have to do that. Um, you run it double Danny.

633
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I remember you said that there was

634
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: a package deal that should happen. I thought had the

635
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: better angle. That's what made more regional sense now. Dabbo, though,

636
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: I asked, do you think he fits in New York? No,

637
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: clearly not like he's just a good old boy. But again,

638
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: if he wont, you can do it. You can be

639
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: whatever you could. You know, you could be from wherever

640
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: in New Yorker's what you can be from Boston, and

641
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: they way to brace you, you know, like it doesn't

642
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: matter if you win, but they could be Like I

643
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: could I could picture now a New York post back, um,

644
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, back page that says Dabba dooya and then

645
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: like to have him with like a piece of wheat,

646
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: like he looks like a country like hick. You know,

647
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: like I could totally see them mocking him until you

648
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: win and then it's like hey, we love this country boy. Um,

649
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: but what was the question about. So here's why, here's

650
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: where I worry about Dabbo so Dabbo now doesn't call

651
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: the plays like he's not the offensive mind, he's the figurehead. Right,

652
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: so even for both sides of the ball, it would

653
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: be all right, who are you gonna who are you

654
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna have coatured offensive defense? And he would add I

655
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: he would have access to a lot of coaches that

656
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: he could interview, that he could bring with him. Uh.

657
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: That could be great in the NFL. But I just don't.

658
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Dabbo his motivational tactics are very collegial,

659
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: which I'm fine, it works great, whereas Nick Saban is

660
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: he's very professional, you know, like he's this, you know,

661
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna win. That's what motivates you. We're gonna win.

662
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: And Dabbo is more, Hey, we're family, we're all in

663
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: this together, which college guys buy into and it can

664
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: be a great thing. But I don't know if that

665
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: tactic works in the NFL. Guys just hey, what are

666
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 1: what am I getting paid? Oh? It's my contractor year,

667
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: Like now I'm gonna step it up, Like that's more

668
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: of what the NFL is about. And I don't I

669
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: don't know if Dabo fits that. I would agree, let's

670
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: do a couple of minutes from the college football Championship weekend. Um,

671
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, Danny, this has been a brutal

672
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: college football season for me, just speaking personally, I haven't

673
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: watched as much as I normally do. I'm not that

674
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: geek for this weekend. I'm excited for Clempson Notre Dame,

675
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: but that could be. That could easily be a twenty

676
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: one point game, right. Absolutely, it has been. Um, I

677
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: think the Big Ten being so bad and having missed

678
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: so many games has really hurt the college football season. House.

679
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: It's been great. They were tested once, but it wasn't

680
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: by Michigan, who they didn't even get to play. It

681
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: wasn't by Penn State, who people would have tuned in.

682
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: It was by Indiana. And the way the game unfolded,

683
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, Penn State jumped out thirty five to seven

684
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: and everybody probably stopped watching and you're like, oh, they're

685
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna win, and then Indiana kind of made it close

686
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: at the end, but it never was. There haven't been

687
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: that many great games to watch. The first Clempson Notre

688
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: Dame game might have been the best game of the

689
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: entire year. Uh, you know, an overtime game and hopefully

690
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: we get a repeat of that. But you know, Alabama

691
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Georgia early on was pretty good. Uh, Georgia Florida was

692
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. But I'm with you like the overall, and

693
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: it's been incredibly tough to track the games because we've

694
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: had so many games canceled and then their postponed and

695
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: they're made up at a different time, and it is hard.

696
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,239
Speaker 1: Like usually, you know, the third Saturday in October, you're

697
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna get Tennessee Alabama, and you know, it's just there's

698
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: always a date there. Thanksgiving weekend is always rivalry weekend,

699
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: but we lost a lot of those rivalries this year,

700
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: so it was really hard to keep track. So is

701
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: there a selling point on to the casual fan? Hey,

702
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: SEC Championship, you know, every SEC Championship every year, like

703
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: the pageantry around it, even the bands playing like that

704
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: makes the game, even if Alabama always dominates or whatever.

705
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: But like I'm assuming no fans at the stadium at

706
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: the Georgia, Oh no, they'll have I think they're having

707
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand. I think yeah, yeah, yeah. And the

708
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: Mercedes you're you're you're on the West Coast, You're you're

709
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: used to a little different. Yeah, we can't do anything.

710
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean no, no fans and thes got back from

711
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: dinner with my parents, like eating inside. So I don't,

712
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't relate to that Santis hunt.

713
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: You guys are to eat it but inside a restaurant,

714
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: Danny and over nine months. Good see, I'm a foodie too.

715
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: But I was just at the Dolphins game. I went

716
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: and saw to a playoffs. Yeah, they have a bab

717
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: a hole in it. Yeah, oh you know what, Mercedes

718
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: don't They can open it up alright, So like sell

719
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: the casual fan on, Hey, you gotta watch Florida. They

720
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: got a chance against Mac Jones and ye. So here's

721
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: why you sell. That game is easy to sell because

722
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: you have three guys who can win the Heisman Trophy

723
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: that are playing in that game, and you have a

724
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: slew of guys who will be watching play next Sunday. Uh,

725
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, you might find some steels at quarterbacks. Kyle

726
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: Pitts is a tight end for Florida. He is the

727
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: next Travis kelsey Um type of dominant tight end. He's

728
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: a phenomenal athlete. You just tune in to watch him

729
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: if you know in regardless of you're rooting for. He's incredible.

730
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask is a I would say second or third

731
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: round pick where if your team maybe he's looking for

732
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: the future, that's Florida's quarterback. He might be somebody, could

733
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: be a project, that could be maybe a diamond in

734
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: the rough and the other side of the ball. Mac

735
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Jones another quarterback we might be in a market for,

736
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: could go late first round. But Davante Smith, the wide

737
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: receiver for Alabama, is the most dominant player in college football,

738
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: and I think he might end up winning the Heisman

739
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: Trophy from that from his own quarterback, Yeah, because he's

740
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: had I think people are finally start in the notice

741
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: that you know, if your quarterback in that system and

742
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: you have the best offensive line in the country, you've

743
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: got the you know, uh Dope Walker Award winner at

744
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: running back, best running back in the country playing behind you,

745
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: you've got a bolitical when you're throwing too. Like it's

746
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to play quarterback, but that makes it

747
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot easier. And I think you know,

748
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: we're seeing that with tah it was such an anomaly, like,

749
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is unbelievable. It must be to uh,

750
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: But I think it's more about the system and the

751
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: trust and allowing the quarterbacks to throw the ball down

752
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: the field that people are like, oh, this is Alabama.

753
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: What it looks like with offense, like this is scary? Um,

754
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: Why are why don't we have an eight team playoff

755
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: this year? Given all the crap. NBA goes to a bubble,

756
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: Baseball goes to a bubble. They shortened the season, you know,

757
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: when teams couldn't get in all their games. Everybody's adjusting.

758
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: Why can't college football just go to eight this year?

759
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: Make an exception, get an outsider in there, a coastal

760
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: Carolina sinever. Absolutely, and when you've got the discrepancy and

761
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: the number of games, I mean, I could have solved

762
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: that whole dumb debate, which is stupid because I don't

763
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: think Ohio States. I think it's an unbelievable uh competitive

764
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: advantage for them to only play five games and everybody

765
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: else has already played ten. That's a separate one. So

766
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: but you could have liked eased that said, all right,

767
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: Ohio State, we're gonna let you in, but you gotta

768
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: go through another opponent first. So that would have made

769
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot more sense. I totally agree

770
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: with you, my hunches. The calendar wouldn't allow it. Um

771
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: and because the power of ESPN, ESPN runs the College

772
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: Football Playoff their dates that they own our January one

773
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: in January tenth. January one, New Year's Day is a

774
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: college football holiday. It is revered and people know you

775
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: talk about the appointment doing what's gonna happen? Well, New

776
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: Year's Day? You know you're gonna get you know, um,

777
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: the rose Ball, and you're gonna get the playoffs. And

778
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: they're the same this year. And so I don't think

779
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: they I think they would have liked to, but they're

780
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: looking at it. They say, all right, the last day

781
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: of the season is December nineteen, the you know, then

782
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: the week later is the twenties event. Well, January one,

783
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: we want to have where where are we going to

784
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: put the extra game? And they said, you know what,

785
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: we don't want to push everything back. We want to

786
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: try to keep those dates. Uh. And it's the Monday

787
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: night January tent, which is right. You know, it's perfect

788
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: because it's like the absence of Monday night football. It

789
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: fills that void. So Ultimately, I do think it could

790
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: have been perfect college football fans would have loved it. It

791
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: It kind of brought some momentum maybe into next year. Um,

792
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: but they decided against it. That's my hunches to why

793
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: they didn't do it. My only bet that I really

794
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: like in college. This weekend, I'm looking at Northwestern first

795
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: half against Ohio State. Um, you're gonna take it with Western? Well,

796
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: just in the first half, I don't think they could

797
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: win the game out right, Um right, you know, we

798
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: we know how to state it's good. But are they great? Danny,

799
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that we know they're great. They discuss,

800
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: like you said, they played like a handful of games,

801
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: so we know, we know they're good. We know they

802
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: could be great. I think Northwestern is not very good.

803
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: They they have beat. This is more about Northwestern. I

804
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: don't think their defense is I think fourth in the

805
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 1: country and points allowed. Uh meanwhile, oh how States number

806
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: one in the country points scored. But I just I

807
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: think Northwestern the offenses they've shut down, in the athletes

808
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: they've shut down aren't gonna be anything compared to what

809
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: they see. Justin Fields is a baller man, He's he's

810
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch, and he's gonna be

811
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be Trevor and Justin one too.

812
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: But I think people are gonna be surprised at how

813
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: little that gap is. The way we've raved about Trevor

814
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: for so long, I think that gap is pretty tight.

815
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the NFL Real Quick Week fifteen. Um,

816
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. You said you went to the game. I'm curious.

817
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: How was that experience? By the way, it was fun.

818
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: I took my youngest daughter, she's eight, and they do

819
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: have it dialed into a science. Like if you're thinking

820
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: it's a free for all, which I kind of was

821
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: expecting that scene in Florida, I'm like, oh man, what's

822
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: this gun? I've been to some mother. It was about

823
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: a wedding a month ago that was a free for all,

824
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: like it's it's the wedding. No, it was outdoor, but

825
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: it was not many people were in mass I mean

826
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: if people were dancing and on the dance floor and

827
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: having a you know, a blast. Um. But at the

828
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins game and the minute from you you pull up

829
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,959
Speaker 1: for your parking pass and they have a sign says

830
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: mass on as soon as you park your car, you

831
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: step out of the car, and there's there's a tendance

832
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: because there aren't that many people they have. They have,

833
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, attendees for eighty thousand, mem only have seventeen thousand,

834
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: so that ratio kind of as soon as you step

835
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: out of your car, put on your mask, have a

836
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: great day. And they're nice about it, and they have

837
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: people monitoring it throughout. They've got you know, mass police,

838
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: and they have the seats cordoned off where it's only

839
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: season ticket holders and you have your section and there's

840
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: more than six ft I'd say it's closer to ten

841
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: feet between you and the next person, and every other

842
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 1: seat is tarped, so you can't say, hey, you guys

843
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: are over there, come sit with us. The seats are

844
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: tarped only your seats, so you literally can't get more

845
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: than like six in a little section. And you're supposed

846
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: to be family if you do that. So they got

847
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: pretty dialed in. I mean, are you going to Miami

848
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: Patriots this weekend? I am not. So they're not my

849
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: season tickets. It's my buddy, So I'm kind of at

850
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: the mercy of of that one. But I like the

851
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins in that game. Brian Flores, I think they're a

852
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: more talented team. Your buddy gave up his chief's Dolphins tickets. Well,

853
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: he has eight, so we went with him and his daughter.

854
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: He got him through his business. I mean, all these

855
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: business guys, you know, they have a way to write

856
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: it off. Probably doesn't cost him anything, you know, So

857
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: I went with him. So I'm not going because they're

858
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: his tickets. So I mean, I don't know, you just

859
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: be careful. Belichick against rookie quarterbacks. Belichick off a bad loss,

860
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: But Flores knows, you know, McDaniels, you know, And I

861
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: think I think Cam Newton is a little bit, not

862
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it's a lot of a liability.

863
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: You know. It's just not that good of a quarterback

864
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: this year, which is not I don't want to sound

865
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: like I'm bashing him, because that's a tall ask. I mean,

866
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: he only got there eight days into training camp in

867
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: a weird season. I don't think it's fair to like

868
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: be super harsh on Cam Newton, who is quarterbacking the

869
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: Patriots next year. That's a good question. Um, I'm it's

870
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be. It's not Stidham. I know that's no.

871
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: That was when they were like, remember they were all

872
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: raving about him, like, hey, Accordy twins are like, oh,

873
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: he's better and almost better than Tom was, And I'm like,

874
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: come on, um, I think he's probably playing on Saturdays.

875
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: You know, I think you don't think they make a

876
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: run at Like, they usually take good contracts. They don't

877
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: inherit bad contracts, right, they get guys on the cheap,

878
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: they don't overpay for guys. And I think Carson Wentz

879
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, it's gonna be almost tough, you know,

880
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: almost impossible to trade them away. So then what are

881
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: your other options? Like, you're gonna go the free agent,

882
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: you know? You know, I don't. I don't know. So

883
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: that's why I'm looking at the options that are out there,

884
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: and maybe they try to. I don't know, do they.

885
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: They're not gonna go with Cam another year, so I don't.

886
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Maybe there's like a mid tier back, maybe Tyrod Taylor,

887
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: who's the NFL's bridge quarterback. Maybe they could bring him

888
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: in to start for a game or two before they

889
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: their young rookie comes in. Where is Sam Donald quarterbacking

890
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: next year? See? Now that Donald I think would make

891
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: more sense if Donald in division. No, I don't think

892
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: so either. But like I was gonna say, like that's

893
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: the type of contract h they do. I think either

894
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: Carson or Donald should be thrilled to go to Indie. Um,

895
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, if it was allowed. I know that kind

896
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: of those trade rumors for I think it was Carson

897
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: Wentz was the name that came up with them. But

898
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: I think either any of those young quarterbacks would would

899
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: would love to go there. Even if you have to

900
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: watch Philip Rivers for a year, which who may or

901
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: may not happen, then you kind of learned from him

902
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: and then you you take it the year and take

903
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: a breather, which you know a lot of guys may

904
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: not want, but I think it could be a healthy

905
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: option for some of these guys been banged around, you know,

906
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: confidence battered, and they're still young. Is Jim Harball coaching

907
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 1: an NFL team next year? The latest I had seen

908
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: was they kind of offered him at Michigan, you know,

909
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: reduced salary contract, uh, and the buyout has been lowered. Uh.

910
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how he's responded to that yet or

911
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: if he has, but is he stay at Michigan or

912
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: try the NFL again. So I'm gonna say he goes

913
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: another year at Michigan. I do so. I think that

914
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: the word manual, their athletic director did like this was floated,

915
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: somebody reported it, and then it said after the tweet

916
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: it said ward manuals they've had contract extension talks, but

917
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be lower salary, as you mentioned, but it

918
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: said heavily incentive laden, which I think is attractive. But

919
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: then the next thing it said, Jim Hardball has up

920
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: to five NFL offers on the table. And that's when

921
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, this guy may not be

922
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: super dialed in. Do you think Jim Harbaugh has five

923
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: opportunities in the NFL? I don't. I think I think

924
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: the NFL it's kind of over him. I think they

925
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: were like, hey, maybe there's a team that's desperate enough

926
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: that would do it. But I think a lot of

927
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: the NFL the word was kind of out like this

928
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: guy is tough to work with. Okay, so I could

929
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: buy that, But Danny think about this, like where are

930
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: they getting that information from the school or is Hardball

931
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: floating that I've got five options? I don't know. You know,

932
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: Harball is his own agent, so he does all his

933
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: own stuff. So he's negotiating. But so the reason I

934
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: think that Harbor goes back if that's true and if

935
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: it isn't, instead of you know, hey, I think that

936
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: kind of hugs a hardball a little bit like oh yeah,

937
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: I'll earn it. Like he's tough guys, super you know, macho, like, hey,

938
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: I'll do that. That's not and he's kind of old

939
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: school where he might have this old like I'm gonna

940
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: earn it all right, you want me to take a

941
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: pay cut, Well, I'm gonna earn it back, you know.

942
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: Like I could see him being that. He's a super competitive,

943
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: like to a fault type of person and I could

944
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: see him taking on that for sure. But I think

945
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: he'll be back. And you gotta remember he played there.

946
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: I think he he wants to leave it in a

947
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: good spot, but sometimes that makes things go just continue going.

948
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: But this idea that like he wants to stick around

949
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: to beat Ohio State like Danny, that just may not happen. Ever, Like,

950
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: come on, there were what thirty point underdogs before the

951
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: game got canceled. Yeah, now that year was you know,

952
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: this year kind of went south fast for Michigan. But

953
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: until he finds a Justin Fields or Dwayne Haskins or

954
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: an offense that runs a scheme that he kind of,

955
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, feels comfortable with, they're not going to beat

956
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: Ohio State. All right, two more? Um, you know, I

957
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: guess if if pressed, do you think Pat mohole wins

958
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: another Super Bowl this year, which would put him at

959
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: m VP of the league, Super Bowl and Super Bowl

960
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: m v P, and then another super Bowl in the

961
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: first three years of his career as a starter. It's phenomenal.

962
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's you run out of words of what

963
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: to say about him. When I saw him in person,

964
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: I was really curious because you know, you watch on

965
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: TV or you watch on film and just don't get

966
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: a perspective, and he really is like a version. I

967
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: think their team is a version of the Golden State Warriors.

968
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: And when you saw you know, Steph trying threes from

969
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: forty and it just kind of like he's not even

970
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, this is what I do. Like this

971
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: isn't a big deal. When I watched Mahomes and you've

972
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: seen him doing You've seen him throw left handed, to

973
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: see him throw behind his back, you've seen him throw

974
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: no look like you see him in person. He's kind

975
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: of constantly trying little things that normal quarterbacks don't think about,

976
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: and he does them very naturally. It was it was pretty,

977
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: it was fun, and it was a bad game. He

978
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: didn't play that great, but I just noticed, like the

979
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: arm talent, how fast it came out, and just his

980
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: impro improvisational skills were so much fun to watch me

981
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: it was. It was impressive. So the last question, Uh,

982
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: I know you have kids. I do as well. Um,

983
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: I think your kids are a little older than mine,

984
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: but I'm just curious for the dad life crowd. Um,

985
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: how tough has it been for you during the last

986
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: nine months. I know your home spending a lot of

987
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: time with your kids, but I'm talking about like the

988
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: extracurricular stuff. Do you feel like, damn if my kids

989
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: aren't playing sports or hanging out with their friends, it's

990
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: like a lost year and my wiferiend I started to

991
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: get like a little angry just about the situation, which

992
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: is understandable. But we're doing our best to keep them

993
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: seeing their friends every other day outdoors with mass playing sports.

994
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: How how are you handling all this stuff? So again,

995
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: you have to remember where I am. So I feel

996
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: so bad for because it is. There are two experiences

997
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: with COVID. I mean I I've talked to people that

998
00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: I worked with that serious that lost their parents. Know one,

999
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, one guy lost his mom and I hear

1000
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: this was early and I hear these and were terrified,

1001
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my gosh, this is horrible. And

1002
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: then you hear more people up north through getting it.

1003
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: And we in Florida we weren't hit hardly at all

1004
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: by any cases. Like everybody was. The entire country was

1005
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: shut down, and most of Florida was like, well, what's

1006
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: the big deal, And there weren't the cases weren't on

1007
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: the rise so early on. Everybody was scared. Everybody was

1008
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: at home. And we actually have never been a gamer.

1009
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,479
Speaker 1: My kids weren't allowed. I got him an Xbox because

1010
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: I felt so bad, like you had to do something,

1011
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: and we did the sports games. We did, you know,

1012
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: like a lot of connect stuff, old school stuff to

1013
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: try to keep a moving, dance games and try to

1014
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: keep moving around. But we only had that for probably

1015
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: two months. Um, you know, my kids this year were

1016
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: back in school. They were week late, and they've been

1017
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: in school that they just had their last day of

1018
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: the fall year, and you know, they got to do

1019
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: their sports. My daughters played basketball with their hold up

1020
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: hold up five days a week school. Oh yeah, yeah,

1021
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: normal like just like last year, except they're wearing masks

1022
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: and they do temperature checks when they walk in. There

1023
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: were two incidents this year, um from I have three girls.

1024
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: Two of them, my eight year old, had an issue

1025
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: where a parent had COVID and so they they had

1026
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: like eight kids in the class go home because they

1027
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: had hung out with the kid of the parents. And

1028
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 1: then similar situation happen with my other daughter. But my youngest,

1029
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: my eight year old, came home. She was home for

1030
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: seven days and then she did zoom while they were

1031
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: all the other kids were in class, and then she

1032
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: went back. And the other one was like a similar

1033
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: like you know, one that was five days she had

1034
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: to stay home and then she went back. And other

1035
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: than that, it's been normal, like they played basketball, they

1036
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: played volleyball. Um you know, so like I, I only

1037
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: understand it from the perspective and I can only imagine

1038
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: how much worse it gets, because after two months we

1039
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: were going stir crazy, like two months and now you

1040
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: guys are on nine like, that's that's crazy. So I

1041
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: don't I don't know the best thing to do. I

1042
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: don't know what advice to give, how to cope with it,

1043
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: because we were lucky enough to, you know, escape April

1044
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: out of that. Yeah. Well, hey, it's good to hear you.

1045
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: Guys are doing well. You know you and you've got

1046
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: the daughters. You're outnumbered by the women in your family. Dude,

1047
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: that's got to be difficult. I got the dog, I

1048
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: got bounding the Dog, my Golden Retrievers, my buddy. All right,

1049
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 1: Danny canell you for quarterback? Media start? Can I call

1050
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: you a media start? I feel like you're taking more

1051
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: more paychecks than I am. Danny. Look up, keep up

1052
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: with Danny and enjoy the games. Man. It too. The

1053
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: only thing better than sitting on your couch watching the games.

1054
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:39,479
Speaker 1: He's making money while he's doing here's your best bet. Alright,

1055
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: it's time for the best bet here on straight Fire.

1056
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: It's been a hot streak. We've won seven or eight,

1057
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: given out money right in time for the holidays. I

1058
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: like a lot this weekend, which means it's a little

1059
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: bit scary. But thanks to the Chargers, no sweat right,

1060
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: that was an easy cover. My gosh, Anthony Lynn always

1061
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: something with that guy. Best bet now fifty four, forty

1062
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: five and five five. Um, And I'm actually gonna do

1063
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: to college for three college football players in a minute.

1064
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna start in the NFL Saturday six point

1065
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: teaser Buffalo teasing that down from six to pick them,

1066
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: and I'm teasing that with the other game, Green Bay.

1067
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm teasing them from down from eight and a half

1068
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: to two and a half. This feels safe. I feel

1069
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: like everybody's doing this square teaser. Um. I mean it

1070
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: makes sense right, Buffalo on the road. Um, They're one

1071
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: of the hottest teams in the league, and I just

1072
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: feel like Josh Allen is gonna have a lot of

1073
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: success against that Denver secondary. Folks, this is is not

1074
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: an exaggeration. The cluster injuries have officially robbed Denver their

1075
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: top five cornerbacks. They lost both starters last week, two

1076
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: season ending injuries. It's bad, Okay, They're starting a rookie

1077
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: who was benched earlier this year, and they're starting a

1078
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: guy who I believe hasn't played in a in a

1079
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: game since ten uh and they had had him on

1080
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: the roster earlier this year, released him and now he's back.

1081
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: Like that's how bleaking is. And you're doing that against

1082
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley and one of the hottest

1083
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. Um, you know, I'm sure the

1084
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: Bills will have to make this interesting and it won't

1085
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: be a blowout. But I can't see them losing this game.

1086
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: Uh famous last words, Right, So Bills to win and

1087
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: then green Bay to cover two and a half. I

1088
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: like Teddy Bridgewater. Um, he's gonna keep this interesting. D J.

1089
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: Moore's back from injury. Um. We've seen Packers, for whatever reason,

1090
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: in big spreads at home, sort of let down that

1091
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville game. Very uh fortuitous for them to win that

1092
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: Jacksonville had chances to cover. Um, and listen, I think

1093
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: green Bay could jump out to lead. That's how good

1094
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: this offense is. It's not like the Panthers ds good.

1095
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: They made Drew lock look like a superstar. Four touchdowns

1096
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: last week for Drew Lock. Um. But Carolina doesn't give up.

1097
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: This is their thing. They go into Kansas City, they

1098
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: play tough as big underdogs. They are money. Some of

1099
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: the numbers are absolutely staggering Teddy Bridgewater Okay, in his

1100
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: career as a road underdog seventeen and two against the

1101
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: spread Panthers this season as underdogs seven and three, and

1102
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: again that's not a predictive number. But when you look

1103
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 1: at the matchups here, Carolina is going to have success

1104
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: through the year. Looks like Christian McCaffrey will not play

1105
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: hey Man because they haven't had him a ton of

1106
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: other games. UM. I like the Green Bay Packers to

1107
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: cover two and a half. So the teaser on Saturday, Buffalo,

1108
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: uh to pick and green Bay or two and a half.

1109
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: I have a teaser Sunday Arizona another favorite teaser. I'm

1110
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: taking them through the key number of three. They just

1111
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: have to win. Uh you take that from six and

1112
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: a half to half a point. Arizona just has to

1113
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: beat Philadelphia. And again the cluster injuries Friday injury reports

1114
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: later today are gonna be key. Philadelphia decimated in the

1115
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: secondary with injuries and you're going up against an Arizona team.

1116
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: And I had to look this up to make sure

1117
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: it was true. The Arizona Cardinals have run the most

1118
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 1: places this season in the NFL with four ride receivers,

1119
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: so You're going up against the defensive backs that are

1120
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: very beat up and very green, and you've got rookies

1121
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 1: and undrafted guys, guys off the street against DeAndre Hopkins

1122
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk and Um, I think that Kyler Murray

1123
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: will have a lot of success. They just have to

1124
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: win that game. The run defense for Arizona scares me,

1125
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: but I think they win the game. And then the

1126
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: other one of the Colts, and this one scares me.

1127
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: Probably out of the four teaser games, this one scares

1128
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: me the most. Um, you just have to trust your numbers, guys.

1129
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: You do. And there's no way the Colts are seven

1130
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: point favorites here when just a seven and a half. Sorry,

1131
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: there's no way that there's seven and a half when

1132
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: just two weeks ago this was three and a half.

1133
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense. It doesn't add up the

1134
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: sports books. No, ain't nobody gonna be back in the

1135
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: Texans here. I'm certainly not doing it, but I will

1136
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: take the Colts teas down to minus one half. So

1137
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: there's a Saturday teaser and a Sunday teaser. One more total.

1138
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: I've been hot on totals, Jets Rams under forty four

1139
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: if you look at so FI and all the Rams

1140
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: games there, oh my gosh, every game has been low

1141
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: scoring and under forty three points. If you remember last week,

1142
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: we got kind of lucky with the Seattle Jets under

1143
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: because Seattle basically went to the bench in the fourth quarter.

1144
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: Would not shock me if the Rams went to the

1145
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: bench in the fourth Remember Rams Seattle next week? Huge

1146
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: with NFC West implications. Um, so I think the Rams

1147
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: maybe jumped to a twenty one three lead six and

1148
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: they just put it in cruise control. Let's get golf

1149
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: out of there, let's keep cam akers fresh. Uh. And

1150
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: we know the Jets can move to football against a

1151
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: really good Rams defense. Um, I'll take the under forty four.

1152
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: Not my favorite bet, but my favorite total of the week. Uh.

1153
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: And the two sides I like. Listen, Patriots plus two

1154
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: in Miami, this will go down. If you like that

1155
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: and you like what I'm about to say, you might

1156
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: want to grab that now, folks. The New England Patriots

1157
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: are coached by a man named Bill Belichick. You may

1158
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: be kind of familiar with his work off a double

1159
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: digit loss dating back to two thousand and three nineteen

1160
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: and five against the spread, And yes, I can hear

1161
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: you saying, Jason, that's what Brady a quarterback? Okay, there

1162
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: is an element of my gosh, I got embarrassed. I

1163
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: got humiliated on national television. I'm Bill frigging Belichick. Do

1164
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, with the extra time to prepare, how much

1165
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: he's been in the lab, do you know who he's

1166
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: preparing for? A rookie quarterback. Belichick has not lost to

1167
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback since two thousand, twelve, twenty five and

1168
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: five in his last thirty games against rookie quarterbacks. He

1169
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: dominated Justin Herbert a couple of weeks ago. What Belichick

1170
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 1: is gonna do because he's intimately familiar with Nick Saban,

1171
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: his buddy. I believe they jointly did a showtime program.

1172
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 1: You can look that up on in demand together. They've

1173
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: been friends for years. You don't think Nick and Belichick

1174
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: have talked a little bit about two of strength and weaknesses.

1175
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: You don't think so. I mean Belichick is gonna throw

1176
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: defenses at too that he's never seen and compounding that,

1177
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: look at the weapons too, a hass Parker's dinged up.

1178
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: Don't know if he's gonna go Gisecki in don't know

1179
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: if he's gonna go Jachem Grant, what's his status in

1180
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: the slot. So you're downstarting receivers, you're throwing all backups,

1181
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: and what's the running back situation? I don't know. I'm

1182
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: telling you Miami's beat up. I like Miami a lot,

1183
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: but I like the Patriots getting too in my final side,

1184
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh my boys who listen to this in d C

1185
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: All my buddies, you're not gonna like this. Give me

1186
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks favor by six. Now, this is a

1187
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: bit of a risk. I'm taking it at six. I

1188
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: bet this because I don't believe Alex Smith will play.

1189
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: I think they will rest Alex Smith for next week,

1190
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: um when it's a much more pivotal game in the division.

1191
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they have much of a chance with

1192
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. It looks like Antonio Gibson will not play

1193
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: their best running back. We saw them offensively really struggle

1194
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: to move the football without Antonio Gibson against the Steelers.

1195
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: Alex Smith came through with a couple of nice passes,

1196
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: but uh. In the following game against the forty Niners,

1197
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: like this is just a Washington team that won with

1198
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: defense and a small correction. They have Philly at the

1199
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: end of the season. Washington has Carolina next week. They'll

1200
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: be favorites. The Ron Rivera coaching against his former club there,

1201
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: that'll be fun. But I'm taking Seattle minus six. I

1202
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: think they winness one fairly handily. Um some fugazziness. When

1203
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: you look inside the Washington defense, they I mean they

1204
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: faced I'm just gonna rattle off the quarterbacks that the

1205
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: Washington defense has faced and built up all these awesome

1206
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: numbers with. Okay, Nick Mullins, Ben Roethlisberger, they did pretty

1207
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: well against him. Andy Dalton on Christmas excuse me, Um,

1208
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen, I'm sorry, Ryan Finley replacing Joe Burrow in Cincinnati,

1209
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, Um Danny Dimes they lost. Uh, they beat

1210
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 1: up I think it was Dalton and Gucci Danucci maybe

1211
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: or maybe Garret Gilbert, I don't remember. But bout of

1212
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: my bad quarterbacks, I mean, anytime they faced a good quarterback,

1213
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: Um Lamar Jackson, who has not even been good that

1214
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: good this year, they lose by two touchdowns. Jared Allen

1215
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: they lose by twenty, Baker Mayfield they lose by fourteen,

1216
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: and Haskins if you remember had five turnovers against the Browns.

1217
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: So those are my NFL picks. Um. I know it's

1218
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: a lot of them. UM, but I'm feeling good about

1219
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: the about this card now quickly for college football. And

1220
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: I know we haven't given out a lot of college

1221
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: football numbers, um, just because you don't know what games

1222
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,439
Speaker 1: are happening. And I feel like I don't like wasting time.

1223
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: Time is the most valuable resource any of us have.

1224
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit here breaking down games on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

1225
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: and then Friday they canceled it like there's no win

1226
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: there for me. Um. And I feel bad for all

1227
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: the people who were breaking down that Sun Belt Championship

1228
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: game that's now been canceled. Um, But they ain't canceled

1229
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: in this one. It's happening Northwestern, big, big underdog against

1230
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. Now, I it's

1231
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: Friday morning. I haven't seen a first half number yet. Um.

1232
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: That probably will come out a little later today, but

1233
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm taking Northwestern in the first half. That will be

1234
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: my bet. Ohio State, it's really good they are gonna

1235
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: win this football game. I do believe Northwestern can hang

1236
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: for a half. It might just be a quarter, but

1237
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I think that defense could do just enough for a

1238
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: half if the offense could just hold the ball for

1239
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: a couple of drives. Um, I'm you know the lines

1240
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: anywhere from nineteen. If I can get a plus ten

1241
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: and a half first half, that's I would feel awesome. Uh.

1242
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: If I can get a plus uh thirteen, that would

1243
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: be a better But I don't think we're gonna see

1244
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: a number that high. So I'll take plus ten and

1245
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: a half Northwestern in the first half, and again, if

1246
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: that comes out as a nine, we will cancel this bet. Um.

1247
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: Next up Clemson. Oh boy, the Clemson revenge game against

1248
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: uh Notre Dame is a big number ten and a

1249
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: half and I'm gonna lay it with Trevor Lawrence. Uh.

1250
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: It looks like the public is coming in on Notre

1251
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Dame here because they won the first meeting. Uh, they

1252
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: did face the Clemson backup quarterback who is probably gonna

1253
01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation last

1254
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 1: year next year, sorry, um, Trevor Lawrence. Three defenders who

1255
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: missed the game against there Dame are back. And the

1256
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: big key here is you're facing Trevor Lawrence and the

1257
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator of Notre Dame. That's a tall order, right,

1258
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: you gotta get ready. He just took the head job

1259
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt. Do you really think he's dialed in for

1260
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: the a SEC Championship when he's building a staff to

1261
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: go coach with him at Vanderbilt and he's probably doing

1262
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: some recruiting. Like I'm certain Brent Venables and the Clumpson

1263
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 1: assistant coaches are locked in a hundred percent on Notre Dame.

1264
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the Notre Dame d C is not.

1265
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: I just there's just no way humanly possible that you're

1266
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: putting all your time into this game when you just

1267
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: got named head coach at Vanderbilt. So I'm taking Clumpson

1268
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: Favor by ten and a half. And the last one

1269
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: is um kind of a hold your nose and just

1270
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: for fun because you I gotta have money on this

1271
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: game the SEC Championship. We talked about it with Danny

1272
01:01:55,440 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: Cannell earlier. Um, Alabama Florida. I'm taking over seven y

1273
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: four points. Um, they're not gonna hold Alabama under forty five,

1274
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I think Alabama gets probably forty nine

1275
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: or fifty and that means that Florida just has to

1276
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: score like twenty points. Um, and Florida's offense can do that.

1277
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: They got an NFL quarterback, UM, so give me the

1278
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: over seventy four in Alabama versus Florida. So those are

1279
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: three college picks. I gave out one, two, three for

1280
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: five NFL picks. Folks, Let's get some money this weekend. Everybody,

1281
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: have a good one. We'll talk to you Monday.
