1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on Everybody? John Middlecop three

2
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: and Out podcast. After Week seventeen, which is usually the

3
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: final week of the season. Luckily the owners, they love

4
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: their cash, we love football as fans, so we get

5
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: another game. So we still have Week eight teen, still

6
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: a lot on the line. I'm recording this midway through

7
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: probably the third quarter of The Packers are killing, let

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: me repeat killing, the Minnesota Vikings, who I think will

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: be officially eliminated from the playoffs. The Packers will then

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: control their own destiny to be the number one seed.

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans control their own destiny to be the

12
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: one seed. Uh. The l A Rams control their own

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: destiny to win the division and be the two seed.

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: The Eagles are in the play offs, the Niners and

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: the Saints battling for one spot left. The Niners have

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: to win in l A. If the Saints win in Atlanta.

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: If they lose and the Niners, it doesn't matter. Uh.

18
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: The a f C we get the Chargers, Raiders win

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: and they're in. H The Pats officially got in, so

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: we got a lot of playoff movement fun times. I

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: think Rogers is basically the lock M v P. We

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: got Antonio Brown quitting on the field. Mike Vrabel continues

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: to win football games. But obviously there were some crazy

24
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: college stuff. I mean, the two SEC teams destroyed Michigan

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati, especially Michigan. That was a blood bath. The

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl, the grand daddy of them all, was just

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: a fantastic game unless you had about, you know, five

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: one bills on the Utah Utes to win money line.

29
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: I thought I was in the clear. I was already

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: counting my money. And then they lost because Ohio State

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: has an unlimited amount of wide receivers and running backs

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: and c J Stroud California kid, that dude can sling it. Uh.

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Subscribe to the podcast three and out share with your friends.

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: You can find it on YouTube. We go live every

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,000

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock Pacific standard time. I think, coming into this

37
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: new year, start having a weekly golf podcast on the

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: feed as well, golf seasons back, maybe Tournament of Champions.

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: But you know, we gotta start with the NFL because

40
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: this is an NFL podcast, and this is football podcast,

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: and I love what I say. I mean, who doesn't.

42
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it today after Joe Burrow's performance.

43
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: You know, star players and the truly great players define franchises,

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: They define coaches, they kind of define our fandom. And

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: every team gets so lucky. Sometimes a guy falls into

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: their lap. Sometimes they have like the forward thinking approach,

47
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: and every once in a while you just get gifted

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: a guy that's an automatic home run. Like think about

49
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, right, Patrick Mahomes, who's one of the great

50
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: players we've ever seen in the sport, took the Sport

51
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: by Storm m v P Super Bowl champion. He got

52
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: to city year and by no means was he viewed

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: like a lot of people didn't even think it was

54
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: a first round pick. So when the Chiefs draft to

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, it was like a big picture thing. Right.

56
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: He didn't even play his rookie year beside Week seventeen,

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: which was at the time the sixteenth game of the

58
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: season against the Denver Broncos, and they had a playoff

59
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: game the following week. He didn't play. Alex Smith did, right,

60
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about it watching Joe Burrow just

61
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: eviscerate the chief secondary with Jamaar Chase. It's rare that,

62
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: like Number one overall picks are truly ready to hit

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: the ground running, like Peyton Manning it took some time,

64
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: like Shaquille O'Neil ready to roll. Orlando Magic immediately transformed

65
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: King Griffey Jr. Next year, He's in the big leagues

66
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: all time great and just you know, twenty years old.

67
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: It's really rare. The number one overall pick jar golf,

68
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. Like Joe Burrow, I was watching a bunch

69
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: of Madden content on the on the YouTube little website

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: that's owned by Google, and he was talking about and

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: John I think was a big part when he was

72
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: announcing games, talking about guys that had it, And you know,

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: I think the analytic people always pushed back, what does

74
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: that even mean? Well, I think you kind of know

75
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: it when you see it, like Steph Curry has it right,

76
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods had it, Tom Brady clearly has it. This

77
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: kid for Cincinnati, we saw it at l s U.

78
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: But you never truly know in college. Tools really good

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: in college. This guy, looking back his collegiate offense, he

80
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: had Jamaar Chase and Justin Jefferson and Clyde who was

81
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: coming on before he got injured. So he went well,

82
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: is he really gonna be this good? Even though it

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: was hard to not watch him at L s U

84
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: and love him and thinking this guy is a stud,

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: I would take him number one overall pick. I think

86
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: we all agreed for the most part, consensus number one

87
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: overall pick. Then he gets there and he's like better

88
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: than advertised. It was clear last year. Remember on a

89
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Browns, You're like, holy shift,

90
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: this kid can play. But then he gets injured. In

91
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: anytime you get injured early in your career when you're

92
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: on a bad team, you just never know. He pounded

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: the table for Jamaar Chase. And I'm not a huge believer.

94
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just you know, the scout in me

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: to like really listen that much to young players. Of

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: course they're gonna want their friends. He was right. The

97
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase is freaking unbelievable. Is thirteen touchdowns this year?

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: Third team? What those two guys were doing today, I

99
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: mean it was like stock to him alone, twenty years

100
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: into their career. Montana and Rice in Night nine, like

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be that easy year one. Now, I know

102
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: they played together in college, but still, this is the

103
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: Kandasee Chiefs teams that won the a f C two

104
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: years in a row. Clearly one of the best teams

105
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: over the last three years like we've ever seen in

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: a three year run. They're a our house and their

107
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: defense have been playing really well. And early on in

108
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: that game, I'm glad I didn't tweet it. I'm like,

109
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: you know what, because I knew this. I knew the

110
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Chiefs were a little offended and they would never admit

111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: this publicly. But like, if you watch television this week,

112
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: and I really don't, but you know, the NFL network ESPN,

113
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people are picking the Bengals, and even

114
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I thought some people for it would be some stuff

115
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: like this kind of crazy. I saw it on the

116
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: social media streets. I'm like, let's pump the brakes a

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: little bit on the Bengals. They're not gonna beat the Chiefs.

118
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: And then early on in that game, I look up

119
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: and it's like one to seven. I'm like, this blowout city.

120
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: But when you have quote unquote it, when you just

121
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: got like you're gonna be an all time great player,

122
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: because if Joe Burrow stays healthy, he's going to be

123
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: an all time great player. Like, I don't even that's

124
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: not an opinion. I mean, that's just he plays. He

125
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: kicks ass, and he takes names and they have sweet

126
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers for him. Sometimes you get a young quarterbacks

127
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: like they don't know the weapons. Well, they got Chase,

128
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: they got Higgins, they got Mixing the tight end eighty

129
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: seven is pretty good, Like they can play and he

130
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: resurrected a franchise that was a joke. Obviously they have

131
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: had had success and I know Bengals fans get kind

132
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: of mad that they get lumped in with like the

133
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: Lions and the Raiders over the last twenty years, the

134
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer teams than the Andy Dalton teams, Like they've

135
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: gone to the playoffs a lot, But that transition of

136
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: when they moved on from Dalton to what they became.

137
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: The reason they got Burrow, they had the number one

138
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: overall pick and when Burrow got hurt, like you just

139
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: watched him and felt like a franchise going nowhere. But

140
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: it was clear early on that like the franchise when

141
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: you watch that team play earlier this season, like they

142
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of believed they played well. I'm not even talking

143
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Joe Brow, I'm just talking the whole team, like their

144
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: defense flew around, and to be right, now have ten wins,

145
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs at home, and to be I mean,

146
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to win the division. That's that's incredible. It is an

147
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible accomplishment. I said this before the Rose Bowl.

148
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Regardless win or lose, you top being in the Rose

149
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: Bowl is is is? It's sane if you would have

150
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: told any human being besides like Joe Burrows family or

151
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: some L s U fans, that the Cincinnati Bengals we're

152
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs, let alone win the division over

153
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Ravens. If I if I would

154
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: have gone on this podcast and said that, you would

155
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: have thought I was high on drugs. I thought. Chad

156
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Johnson retweeted that he said that on first take, like

157
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: over the summer, but it was like he was biased.

158
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: He was just saying that he wasn't gonna be right

159
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: until he was right, until Joe Burrow turned into an absolute,

160
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: flat out superstar. Jamaar Chase, I'm sure shattering rookie records.

161
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: I bet Randy Moss might have a few more touchdowns

162
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: as a rookie. You have to go back and look,

163
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: I mean he's got thirteen this year. It's just it's

164
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: remarkable to watch. It's why I love sports, because I

165
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: love the great players. Like I watched sports for Peyton Manning,

166
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: for King Griff Jr. For Shaquille O'Neal, for Mahomes and

167
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I don't watch it for Sean Maniel. I

168
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: turn off the television. I got too much other things

169
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: to do in my life when I really don't even

170
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: have that much other things to do in my life.

171
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: I just don't like watching average to below average players.

172
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I hated it when I scouted. Now I refused to

173
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: do it. In a game like today was a full

174
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: on treat to see those guys, to see that individual

175
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: playing that well, to do it against that level of competition,

176
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: it was remarkable. Now listen, I know people are bitching

177
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: and moan about the referees. I don't know, man, like

178
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: this guy deserved it. Last week, I thought the overreaction

179
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: against a j V secondary in Baltimore was a little

180
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: over the top. But then to come back and listen

181
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: Specdolah's calling the you know, full on putting guys in

182
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: man demand situations outside against Mr Chase like that, that's

183
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: on the coach. But Joe Burrow and Ja Marches are

184
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it their report connection. Like I think

185
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: sometimes that report connection clearly comes work ethic in practice.

186
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: But a small percentage of people, most guys the highest

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: level work hard and practice work hard to develop a rapport.

188
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: But you can't make up what stock to Him alone had.

189
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: You can't make up what Steph Curry and Clay Thompson had.

190
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: You can't make up what Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison had.

191
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Some duos are just hell what Tyree kill and Patrick

192
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes have. Sometimes you just got it, and these two

193
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: guys they got it. What a remarkable win by the Bengals,

194
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what a remarkable season. Whether they win a

195
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: playoff game, whether they could blow down in the playoffs,

196
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,239
Speaker 1: I don't give a ship. Just absolute hat tip to them.

197
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, I've been saying it for a while. If

198
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: he had been a quarterback and coached offense like Sean

199
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: McVeigh Kyle Shanahan on the floor, we would put him

200
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: on a pedestal so high. He is forty and twenty

201
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: four in his career as a head coach, his winning

202
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: percentage of six, they played the Houston Texans this week.

203
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: He is going to win twelve games. He won eleven

204
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: last year, He's gonna win twelve this year. Twenty three

205
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: games and two years. But the differences this year, he

206
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: hasn't had his best player. Who's the best player on

207
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: the team by I guess not a wide margin, because

208
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: A J. Brown and Simmons are pretty good, but his

209
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: most important player for when they played this game on

210
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: Sunday to finish the season nine games. He has missed

211
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry for nine games. A G. Brown will have

212
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: missed several games I think four. Julio Jones gonna play

213
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: half the season and they still won twelve games with

214
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: I know Titans fans will like jump in front of

215
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: a bus for this guy, but Ryan Tannehill's pretty average,

216
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: and their defensive personnel, especially you know, on the perimeter,

217
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: is not great like their secondary. Deon Sanders ain't walking

218
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: through that door pac Man Jones in his prime. I

219
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: guess Dean never played for the Titans, But you know

220
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And for them to not just win

221
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: the division, but control their own destiny to win the

222
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: one seed they play the Texas, they're gonna get a by.

223
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: They had moments in this season where I was like, oh,

224
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: they kicked the crap out of the Rams at home.

225
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: Oh they you know, they beat the Chiefs like this.

226
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: It had some crazy moments. But when you look at

227
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: their body of war, it's what they just did against

228
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: the Niners the other two weeks ago. It's remarkable. Mike Rabel,

229
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: How's he not the coach of the year, the number

230
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: one seed when Derrick Henry missed half the season. I

231
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: guess with seventeen games more than half the season, that's

232
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: that's that's that's nuts, Like, that's crazy. This guy is

233
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: such a good head coach, it's stupid. But we don't

234
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: give him his due. I mean I do, but I

235
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: don't think he gets talked about nationally because he's a

236
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: defensive guy. If he was an offensive play caller, we

237
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: would speak about him like all the young stars, but

238
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: we don't because he coaches defense and he's like a big,

239
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: burly old linebacker who just kicks assen, takes names, and

240
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: wins football games. The other big topic today was the

241
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown thing, and Antonio Brown at this point, I

242
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: mean today was you know, insanity, but kind of bores me.

243
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: It's just the same old takes getting regurgitated. One overall

244
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: take I have is you need crazy people in your league.

245
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: The reason the pro sports are so popular because they

246
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of characters, right, you got star players,

247
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: you've got head coaches, and you've got crazy guys. I

248
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: see this all the time about the n B A.

249
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: I when I grew up in the nineties, you know,

250
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: all three sports were massive. It didn't Football was by

251
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: no means. Hell, baseball is probably the biggest, but the NBA,

252
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan's was equally as big as any pro

253
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: sport at the time. In the nineties was the NBA's heyday.

254
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: Do you know an underrated part about the the mid

255
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: nineties NBA. They had absolute lunatics in the league from

256
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: Rashid Wall. I mean, they had guys getting in trouble,

257
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: starting fights, brawls, and you know what, it drew the

258
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: consumer in. It was kind of fascinating. You can't just

259
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: have like Joe Burrow is an awesome player in him alone,

260
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: like people will be interested in, but he's kind of boring.

261
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: He's not gonna say anything too crazy. Patrick Mahomes is

262
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: a remarkable player. You're never gonna get in any trouble, Like,

263
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: you need some guys pushing the envelope. This is ultimate

264
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: a television product. We talked about it last week with

265
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: John Mann, like listen for as crazy as Antonio Brown today,

266
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: And it was when it was happening live, You're like,

267
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: what is going on? And then obviously the information came

268
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: out he quit on the team, walked away like that's

269
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: not the worst thing for the NFL, Like, you need

270
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: some insane dudes, and let's face a part of the NFL,

271
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some insane dudes planned. Now he's the

272
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg. But I also like, I don't

273
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: what am I gonna say. He's an insane dude with

274
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: a long history of doing dumb shit, and today he

275
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: did more. He just quit on his team. This isn't

276
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: the first time we've had crazy guys in the NFL

277
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: doing The Buffalo Bills was the head a guy who

278
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: retired at halftime. Now, Antonio Brown forced his way out

279
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: of the Steelers, burned his feet off, and forced the

280
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Raiders to cut him before he ever played a game,

281
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: went to the Patriots, got cut after a game. Bruce

282
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: Arians was adamant do you know what Bruce Arians wanted

283
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: to say today, I never wanted this guy on our

284
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: fucking team. There's one reason we have him on his

285
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: team because the guy that basically saved the franchise, Tom Brady,

286
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: mandated to the come and we capitulated because we needed

287
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: some help and he's a good player. But like I

288
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: didn't love having this guy on his team. I also

289
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: never talked about his fake vaccination card. If you don't

290
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: think there are guys in pro sports, but definitely, I

291
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: guess baseball hasn't had to have it in baseball and

292
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: football with fake vaccination cards, you're more than naive. You're

293
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: just you're wrong. I can't even imagine how many guys

294
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL gave fake vaccination cards. You would be

295
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: you'd have your head under the sand to think anything different.

296
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: But Antonio Brown the reason he got in trouble because

297
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: he's such a moron. He couldn't pay a chef. When

298
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: when you pay someone to do something, you have to

299
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: like when you agree to a service, whatever it is.

300
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: Someone mos your lawn, someone cleans your house, someone cooks

301
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: your food. She said, hey, I'll pay you ten thousand

302
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: dollars for cooked me meals for the month, you pay

303
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: the motherfucker ten thousand dollars like you're a complete loser.

304
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: So to me, he's a bigger loser for not just

305
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: paying the guy his money videoed him because in my

306
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: world I have you can't lose respect for for me

307
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: faster than stories like oh this guy didn't pay. In

308
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: any walk of life in business, I I don't want

309
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: to associate with those type people. I have no respect.

310
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I was brought up to. When you say you're gonna

311
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: do something, you do it now. If you go broke

312
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: or bankrupt, you don't have any money. Clearly has some

313
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: money he refused to pay. Antonio Brown is a loser.

314
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, Brady loved him. Obviously he's a good

315
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: player and he can help him out. And don't don't

316
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: forget he was good last year down the stretch. But

317
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: this notion like today, Every once in a while, these

318
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: type things for the NFL are good for business. It's entertaining.

319
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: You need some loose cannons. You can't have every You

320
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: know why I find Twitter so boring because every single

321
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: media person has the same predictable take on every fucking situation.

322
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: When Kirk herber Street said that on Saturday morning. I

323
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: could have told you every single person that I followed

324
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: their take is gonna be everyone's predictable. You know what

325
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: happens with predictability. It gets boring. It's hard for me

326
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: to like stay interested. Now, if if I was a

327
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: fan of my team, I wouldn't want the guy to

328
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: quit mid game. But like, let's face it, it was

329
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: a pretty entertaining moment today in the NFL. The guy's

330
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: a loose cannon. And guess what loose cannons do. They

331
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: do stuff like that and then they disappear, and then

332
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: they get cut. I mean, he's been cut by several

333
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: teams now. The Raiders cut him, the Patriots cut him,

334
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: The Bucks have now cut him. Should we be shocked?

335
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: The walks like a duck and quacks like a duck

336
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: is probably a duck. Like if you do dumb shit,

337
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: you're probably a moron. And it's like mental health. I

338
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: don't even know what to say, like mental health. He

339
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: was cool enough to be there. They brought him back,

340
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, like he's just some people are just bad people.

341
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: Why why? Why is it hard to say that in

342
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: two Thousan is just a bad guy? When I was

343
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 1: growing up, people just oh, this guy's a good guy. Oh,

344
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: this guy's a bad guys. No longer saying that like

345
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: he's got some issues. We all got issues. I've never

346
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: met one human being that doesn't have issues. Is there

347
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: one person listening to this that doesn't have issues? This

348
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: guy is just an idiot, a loser. Whatever happened to

349
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: just being like, you know what, Antonio Brown is a

350
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: great football player who's a complete loser. It's okay to

351
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: say that, and clearly Bruce Arians said that today Bye

Speaker 1: College Football Championship. Alabama Georgia clearly the two best teams.

377
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: I said that I thought Cincinnati could upset him. They

378
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: actually played him pretty tight. But the quarterback ritter like

379
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: the gi give me a break, like I ain't drafted

380
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: guy hi uh And Michigan they just got their as kicked.

381
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: I mean Georgia, Georgia destroyed Michigan. That was an absolute

382
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: blood bath. I mean, I'd be hard to bet against

383
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: Saban in this National championship. That would be my pick,

384
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: just because in what world would you bet against Nick Saban?

385
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: And then the Rose Bowl was I had this thought

386
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Day learned football from Chip Kelly. It was like

387
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: his mentor Guy brought him into the NFL. Uh I

388
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: think linked him up with Urban is that is how

389
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: he ended up at Ohio State because Urban and Chip

390
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: were buddies. Ryan Day is an incredible offensive schematic guy

391
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: and recruiter. They're there passing game post Urban to Ryan

392
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Day and the skill set, the skill guys they have

393
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: at wide receiver is mind blowing. It's stupid. It's why

394
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: when everyone said going into the Rose Bowl, like, what's

395
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: Ohio State gonna do a wide receiver? I don't know,

396
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: play some nineteen year old kids who's gonna be a

397
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: future first round pick, who's probably incredible, and practice for

398
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: the scout team. They're gonna be fine. No, I don't

399
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 1: follow Ohio States recruiting, so I didn't necessarily know who.

400
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know Marvin Harrison Jr. Was on the team.

401
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: But the moment you see Marvin Harrison Jr. Like what

402
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: do you think about his genetics? Do you think you

403
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: think his genetics helps him be a good football player.

404
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, his dad was in the Hall

405
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: of Fame. Like yeah, Marvin Harrison Jr. Shocker, he's good

406
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: at football. They have a star quarterback, their passing game

407
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: is elite, their skill guys on the perimeter are NFL level.

408
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: They feel like Jefferson and Burrow at l s U.

409
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: And c. J. Stroud is like a Burrow like guy.

410
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: I mean c J. Stroud is a smooth cat, but

411
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: like Chip Kelly, Like obviously they won the Rose Bull

412
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: and it was a big deal because you want to

413
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: win the game. You don't want to lose. But god

414
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: is Ohio States soft? I mean their culture in the

415
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Ryan day, they can really score points. But Oregon shoved

416
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: him around, Michigan shoved him around, and Utah was doing

417
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: everything until their quarterback got KOed. Utah was scoring on

418
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: them at with ease. So if Ohio State wants to

419
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: compete with Georgia and Alabama, which is who they're trying

420
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: to compete with, not Utah, they need to get tough again.

421
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: What happened to Ohio State's toughness? I have zero worry

422
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: about them scoring. They have an elite NFL quarterback, they

423
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: have an unlimited reservoir reservoir of wide receivers, and they

424
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: can clearly recruit, you know, he can find those guys

425
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: with ease. But they what happened to their toughness? Their

426
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: grit because when Urban was there, they were doing that

427
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: and they were molly wapping news on defense and they

428
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: just hired a defensive coordinated from Oklahoma State in Oklahoma

429
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: State was awesome on defense this year. But if they

430
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: want to be what they expectation is, and that's to

431
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: be in the playoff, and that's to be in the

432
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: National Championship game and play with Bama and play with Georgia,

433
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: play with Clemson. Clemson, I'm sure we'll be back. Well

434
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: maybe not, we'll see, but definitely Bama and Georgia, who

435
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: are now the bar. You gotta get tough again. And

436
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressures on their new defensive coordinator

437
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: because Ryan Day just not a tough guy. He's an

438
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: offensive scoring guy, which he's awesome at. But and I

439
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: also had this thought and I know they had a

440
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: rough day. Besides, like Alabama, I don't know who would

441
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: have covered those wide receivers. I don't know how looking back,

442
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: how do Michigan beat him and they just shoved him around?

443
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I know how they beat him. I watched

444
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: the game, but I had the thought watching Kyle Whittingham.

445
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: You know his defense is usually I was one of

446
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: the worst defensive performance as you'll ever see from Utah,

447
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: especially on the perimeter. They've always had NFL defensive backs.

448
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 1: They have a ton of guys in the NFL at

449
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: corner and safety, so that that is not normal, that

450
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: performance from their defensive backfield. They will be better. They're

451
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: going to give Lincoln Riley trouble because they always have

452
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: NFL defensive players. They always can play well in space,

453
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: and they always hit hard. And Kyle is a defensive

454
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: guy like Lincoln's gonna it's gonna take him a little while.

455
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: I saw today a recruit went to Oaka home over USC.

456
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: Now he's a running back, but still, like I I

457
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: do think the transition for Lincoln Riley with Utah. Utah's

458
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: got everyone coming back. That quarterback they had rising, that

459
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: guy's a stud. That guy's a big time play. I

460
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: didn't realize he was that good. I mean, if he

461
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: doesn't get knocked out, they probably win the game. Even

462
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: though the backup quarterback that came in actually played pretty

463
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: well too. But it was just, you know, there's no

464
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: such thing as moral victories most times in life, sometimes

465
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: there are. Utah was they've been in the Pack twelve

466
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: for like a decade less than that for them to

467
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: not just be in the Rose Ball but go toe

468
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: to toe with Ohio State, and I know Ohio State

469
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: opt out. The other thing on they opt out. That's

470
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: a conversation that's been going left and right. I fall

471
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: under a pretty easy category, and I've thought this way

472
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: for the last two years. Just do whatever the funk

473
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: you want to do. I do, worry about yourself. Do

474
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: whatever you wanna do. If you want to opt out,

475
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: opt out, if you want to play, play. Matt Carroll

476
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: wanted to play, and Matt Correll said before the game,

477
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: I know what I have on the line. How could

478
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: I not play with niet These guys that would be

479
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: out here playing are the reason I have what I

480
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: have on the line. He wanted to play in the game,

481
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: so if he wants to play. Play. If a Love

482
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: and Wilson, the wide receivers of ohiose say don't want

483
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: to play, don't play. Now, if you're a six round

484
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: pick and you're opting out of a game, I can

485
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: call you. I can say that's a dumb decision. I

486
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: can say you can make money depending on your opponent.

487
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: Matt Corrall, who I texted around. Most people I talked to,

488
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's a first round pick. If Matt Correll

489
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: would have thrown three touchdowns against one of the better

490
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: defense in the country and David rand To, the head

491
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: coach at Baylor's also, you know, a great defensive coordinator

492
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: and that defense, he could earn himself some credit. Now

493
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Luckily it's not that big of an injury.

494
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: But as everyone said on social media, he didn't die.

495
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna be okay. You know the guy wanted to play.

496
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Let him play. If you don't want to play, don't play.

497
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: That's my take. Do whatever you want to do. It's

498
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: two thousand two. If you want to do something, do it.

499
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: Don't worry about me. I won't worry about you. Can

500
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: we get back to that, uh, laying in life. You know,

501
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: as long as you don't infringe on my ship, I

502
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: want to infringe on yours. If you want to do something,

503
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: do it. If you don't, don't. Is that how society

504
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: has always worked? Why are we freaking out about college football? Now?

505
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: If you want to play in the ball game, play

506
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: in the bowl game. If you don't want to play

507
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: in the ball game, don't play in the ball game.

508
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: But if you're if you're not played in the bowl

509
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: game because you have an NFL career, you better be

510
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: a pretty high pick. Because if you're like a fifth rounder,

511
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: I might judge you a little bit because you could

512
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: earn yourself some money. The way you earn yourself some

513
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: money in football is put on good tape against good opponents. Now,

514
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: if you're a top fifty pick, Kenny Pickett, I had

515
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: no issue with it. Who cares about that ball game?

516
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: If Matt Correll wanted to sit out of the ball game,

517
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: I would have had no issue with it. But when

518
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: Matt Correll gave his explanation why he wanted to play

519
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: in the ball game and then play the ball game,

520
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: I said, good on him. Do you I'm a big

521
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: believer in do what you want to do. I'd be

522
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: a hypocrite if I said anything different. That's how I

523
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: live my life. I do everything I want to do

524
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't screw with anyone else beside of my competition.

525
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: But like I don't. People are so caught up in

526
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: trying to tell other people what to do. It's it's

527
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: nothing bothers me more. Just let people be audios. The

528
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: volume
