That is exactly why I'm groggy. 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: It had nothing to do with rooting for my favorite boxer, 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 3: Jake Paul taking on an MMA fighter in a boxing 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: competition last night. 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: On paper. 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a thirty eight year old MMA fighter making 22 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: his boxing debut. 23 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 3: But go ahead, I'm retired making his boxing debut and 24 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: let me let me tell you so I did not 25 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,639 Speaker 3: watch the women's national team. Shockingly, now, I did watch, though, 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 3: the Jake Paul fight, and our society has had a 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: gat a weird direction because that is going to obviously 28 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 3: gross the promotions companies that that put on the fight 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 3: a lot of money, and and those two names are 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 3: are obviously carry waiting ideas in the MMA world, Jake 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: Paul in the social media world because he's a great 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 3: troll in our time now. 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: But that was that was a sweaty pillow fight. 34 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: That was one of the worst boxing events, or I 35 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: shouldn't even say boxing events, because some of the undercards 36 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: were actually pretty good. But that was the worst title 37 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 3: fight or whatever you want to call it, prize match, 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 3: whatever it is, exhibition I've ever watched in my entire life. 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 3: It had no juice. Nat Diez does not know how 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: to box. He Jake Paul barely knows how to box. 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: It was it was a laugher from no juice finish. 42 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: All right. So I was going to bring this up 43 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: later in the show, but let's go with this right now. 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: Because you and I are both fans of the sweet science. 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: We're boxing fans, and I have been a boxing fan 46 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: my entire life. The fact that this it's it's not 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: even a fight. And I will say, first of all, 48 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: as far as Jake Paul's concerned, Okay, he's twenty six, 49 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: he's athletic, he is you know, he trains as a fighter. 50 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: I don't have any qualms with that. Here's the problem 51 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: that we have. I mean, this is an effort by 52 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: the Paul brothers and they're well on their way to 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: be billionaires by the time they're thirty, okay, and that's 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: their goal. And you know, when you start off as 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: YouTubers and everything else and get to this level where 56 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: they generate that kind of interest, as you say, going 57 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 2: against a nadist who had never had a professional fight 58 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: in his life. Even as an MMA fighter, his record 59 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: was twenty two and thirteen. It wasn'tlike he was, you know, 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: one of the all time legends. 61 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: Well, and yet he's a legendary MMA fighter. 62 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: But here's the deal. His game is not striking. His 63 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: game is right, he is one of the greatest jiu 64 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: jitsu players on the planets. Well, he's going to submit. 65 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: You, okay. So now, of course Jake Paul has agreed, apparently, 66 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: and then apparently they're expecting to sell out Cowboys Stadium 67 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: for an MMA match. Yeah, and Jake Paul was making 68 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: I mean, it really is sort of the state of 69 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: where we are right now. But the fact that we 70 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: have come from a boxing standpoint, I'm not talking about MMA, 71 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: forget that, just boxing. That this match garnered more attention 72 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: than a battle of undefeated fighters for the welterweight championship. Yep, 73 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: this fight had more attention than the recent matchup of 74 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: undefeated fighters for a unified welterweight championship. I mean it 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: is very sad. There was an era, as you know, Rich, 76 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: where I was in Vegas literally every month covering some 77 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: of the greatest fighters from a Sugar Shane Mosley, Oscar 78 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: de la Hoya, I mean, go down the list, Manny 79 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: pack Al, Floyd May, with all the greats of that era. 80 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: And this is what the sport has been reduced to. 81 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it really is a sad state of affairs, 82 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: but it also is a reflection of the times. This 83 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: is where we are right now, and this is why 84 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: when we sit here and we're covering the sports world 85 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: and we're trying to obviously hit on whatever is hot. 86 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: The fact that you would open with your watching a 87 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: Jake Paul is relevant to the fact that that's what's hot. Yep, 88 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: that's that's what people are watching, even if it really 89 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: has zero connection to the world of boxing that you 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 2: and I appreciate, none, zero. 91 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: This was you know what. 92 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: The next big event obviously is Elon Musk versus Zuckerberg. 93 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 2: They're gonna get They're gonna do some kind of MMA event. Yeah, 94 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: and and in fact, Dana White said it's gonna be 95 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: the most watched fight of all time. They are expecting 96 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: to literally earn hundreds of millions of dollars, which by 97 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: the way, they're they're gonna donate to our military, which 98 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: is great, But that's what people want to see. They're 99 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 2: not they're not worried about the best in MMA. They're 100 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: not really worried about the best in boxing. But boy, 101 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: if we could get Muskin and Zuckerberg together that now 102 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: we're watching, we changed. 103 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, times have change. 104 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: We've reached the point where that's where the juice is, 105 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: that's where the interest is in the fight game. And 106 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 3: I think I think Dana White has done a good 107 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 3: job with UFC of branding and leaning into really loud, 108 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: bombastic fighters like like Connor McGregor and Ronda Rousey, like 109 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 3: the trash talking reached a fever pitch. I would say 110 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: with both of them, on both the men's side and 111 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 3: the women's side, I think that Jake Paul and Logan 112 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 3: Paul both when they were both boxing, Logan Paul's more 113 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: in the wrestling world now, but when they were both fighting, 114 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: they did an amazing job of this. They they basically 115 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 3: took what Don King did for his fighters, and took 116 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: what Connor McGregor did for himself as a UFC fighter, 117 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: and they they turned themselves in from YouTube stole, from 118 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: social media relevant stars to people who well, frankly, now 119 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: the world in certain cases they know them as athletes. 120 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: They know them as ww superstars or or a boxer. 121 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the way they're being regarded now, and 122 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: that's Look, I'm fine with it, because everybody's got to 123 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: have a gimmick, you know, and everybody's got to bring 124 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: some bread home to the dinner table at night. 125 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: And however you do that as long as. 126 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: Nobody's getting hurt, at least unwillingly in the case of 127 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: the fight game, who cares, Because that's how the world works. 128 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 3: And if people are paying tickets to go see you fight, 129 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: then great, But what I watched last night. 130 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: Was was barely a fight. 131 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: Nate Diaz was in good enough shape to walk down 132 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: Jake Paul all night long. He did not have a 133 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: great deal of boxing training, and Jake Paul was just 134 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: basically able to weather the storm of Nate Diaz leaning 135 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: on him a lot. And so what is it an 136 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: interesting fight? 137 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,119 Speaker 4: Yeah? 138 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: I guess because there's that interesting factor of seeing a 139 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 3: former UFC MMA great take on this YouTube boxer phenom. 140 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: But the fight itself stunk. Yeah. 141 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: Well, by the way, the Musk Zuckerberg match actually has 142 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: its own Wikipedia page. Oh wow, Yeah, you can go 143 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: on Wikipedia Elon Musk versus Mark Zuckerberg as a proposed 144 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: cage match between business magnets Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. 145 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: That's a Wikipedia page. 146 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: Yea. 147 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: So the the combative world of the ring or the 148 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: cage has changed dramatically. The octagon, I mean, there's so 149 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: many different venues that it's just sad to me. It 150 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: really is, because when you get a Crawford Spence fight 151 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: and undefeated Walter Waite's getting together. I mean, there were 152 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 2: hardcore boxing fans I mean, Crawford, arguably right now might 153 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 2: be the best pound for a pound fighter out there. 154 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: And I knew he beat Spence because he just a 155 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: harder hitter, but he got almost no attention outside of 156 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: the die hard boxing whereas this fight so called fight 157 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: got all the attention, headlines and everything else. So it 158 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 2: is a very different world, all right. So we got 159 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: a lot to do today. Obviously, we got the Hall 160 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: of Fame game behind us. We got this endless three 161 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: weeks coming up of preseason football games, which is not good. However, 162 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: we're only three weeks away from the start of the 163 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: college football season. Week zero.

Now, speaking of fights, the best 193 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: fight was yesterday between the Guardians and the White Sox. 194 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. If you're Tim Anderson, Yeah, who 195 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: really was the one that you know, got himself set 196 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: to fight first, Like, apparently Anderson has been pulling some Shenanigans, 197 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: and Jose Ramirez thought that Anderson was going to sort 198 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: of help him up. I mean, we're talking about Jose 199 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: Ramirez here, We're talking about one of the best players 200 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: in baseball for quite a while. Tim Anderson has been 201 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: an All Star himself. But instead of helping Ramirez up, 202 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: Anderson decided to square up with him. Let's hear the 203 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: call from the Guardians standpoint. 204 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 6: And another hustle double right over the bag at first. 205 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 6: Now Hoosey and Anderson square off. 206 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: They're fighting. 207 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: They're swinging. 208 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 6: Down Goes Anderson, down goes Anderson. Ramirez went in with 209 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 6: a head first slide. Hosey never gets upset about anything. 210 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 6: They came up chewing. Anderson squared off Hosey dectum. It's 211 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 6: a five to one Chicago lead. But everybody from the 212 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 6: dugouts and the Bullpence congregated around second base. You never 213 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 6: see Jose Ramirez get upset like that. 214 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: Oh he got upset, and he delivered a right cross 215 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: to the chin of Anderson. Dow goes Anderson, dow goes Anderson. 216 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: That was a good call, excellent call. 217 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: It was an excellent call. 218 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: I was the best call of the because later on 219 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 3: there was not that kind. 220 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: Of action at the Paul ds fight. 221 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: No, that was good action and Ramirez delivered. That was 222 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: right on the button. All right, joining us right now 223 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: to give us this perspective on what transpired in that 224 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: matchup between the Guardians and the White Sox and everything 225 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 2: else baseball is our Fox Sports Radio MLB insider John 226 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: Paul Morosi JP. What was interesting to me is is 227 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 2: that when Anderson sort of set up, the umpires backed off, 228 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: they almost look like they were encouraging some kind of 229 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: fisticuffs on the field. What's the fallout? What's the take 230 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: on what happened in this matchup between Jose Ramirez and 231 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: Tim Anderson. 232 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 7: We first takeaway is that we would see this a 233 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 7: handful of times every week in the NHL and not 234 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 7: really make much of a fuss over it. 235 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. Right. 236 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 7: It just talks about the difference in culture between the sports. 237 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 7: A couple of things. Number One, I don't believe that 238 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 7: in any way there was a premeditated you know, hey, 239 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 7: let's let this fight unfold on the part of the 240 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 7: second base Umpliyer. I think rather it's just a case 241 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 7: of we don't see this very often in baseball, and 242 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 7: I think if you're in a context where you're not 243 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 7: expecting to see a fight and one breaks out, your 244 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 7: first instinct is usually just to kind of get the 245 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 7: heck away from it. I think that's probably what happened there, 246 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 7: but I was surprised that it escalated to the extent 247 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 7: that it did. You don't rarely, I mean, you really 248 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 7: rarely see something like that happened in a baseball game. Again, 249 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 7: it happens all the time in hockey. You get five 250 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 7: minute major penalty for fighting, and then you get back 251 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 7: in the game and that's the end of that. There's 252 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 7: not really much the carryover typically when a fight happens 253 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 7: like that, especially when it's two combatants, if you will, 254 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 7: who are engaged and there's not a third person in 255 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 7: there that's taking a cheap shots. That's about as much 256 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 7: of a one on one fight as you're ever going 257 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 7: to see in baseball. And again, MLB is going to 258 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 7: take a look at this. We've seen if you look 259 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,359 Speaker 7: at past precedent, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a 260 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 7: seven or eight game suspension coming for for Anderson in particular. 261 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 7: But it's really a very interesting thing to look at 262 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 7: and just discuss how we handle fights in baseball, because 263 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 7: typically you would see it's a charging of the mound 264 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 7: or something like that, but it's that is a very 265 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 7: very rare entrance to any sort of fight that you 266 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 7: would see in Major League Baseball. 267 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it. 268 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: A JP. 269 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: Speaking of fights, we got the rivalry between the Padres 270 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: and Dodgers all weekend long one to one series. Right now, 271 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: they're going to play four down in San Diego. These 272 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 3: are two teams that have had very different starts to 273 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: the season. I think a lot of people are underwhelmed 274 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 3: by the Dodgers offseason and may be pleasantly surprised that 275 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: they're in first in then on West right now. Meanwhile, 276 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 3: the Padres had an exciting offseason acquisitions and they really 277 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: bummed their fans out playing wildly under expectations. But since 278 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: the trade deadline in a little bit beforehand, showing some fight, 279 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: what do you make of this rivalry and what do 280 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: you make of then L West right now? With the 281 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 3: Padres still clinging onto hopes to make a wild card Berth. 282 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, a few things. First and foremost, am I gonna 283 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 7: see you guys in the game in a while. You're 284 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 7: gonna come down? 285 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: Are you gonna be there? 286 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 7: I'm gonna be at the game, all right, all right. 287 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll make every effort to be there. I didn't 288 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 3: know you were going. That's fantastic. 289 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, it's been I should have let you guys 290 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 7: know further in advance. You know that the trade deadline 291 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 7: has been occupying my thoughts for a while. But yes, 292 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 7: that is our MLB Network showcase game. I'm very excited about. 293 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 7: It's a very unique time. So it's it's four Eastern, 294 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 7: as you know, one Pacific because it's the wrap around 295 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 7: game of a four game set between the Dodgers and Podres. Yes, 296 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 7: I'll be at Petco tomorrow. I've been dialed in. It's 297 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 7: certainly a big win for the Padres last night. You know, 298 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 7: San Diego, they still have a chance of this thing, 299 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 7: and I know at least making a wild card. Berth. Certainly, 300 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 7: for me, the concern over Musgrove is there though obviously 301 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 7: back on the injured list, but last night to me 302 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 7: is a microcosm of why this team is still dangerous. 303 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 7: They were losing until late. They score seven runs in 304 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 7: the eighth inning. Machada was right in the middle of it. 305 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 7: When Machado plays like an MVP, this team can hang 306 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 7: with anybody in baseball. And when he has an ordinary year, 307 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 7: which is what his numbers have been for most of 308 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 7: the season, they're just an okay team. And that's basically 309 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 7: how I feel about the Padres. That if you look 310 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 7: at the record that the Padres have when in games 311 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 7: in which Machado drives in a run, they are well 312 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 7: above five hundred and they would be a playoff team 313 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 7: if that happened on a more consistent basis. And that's 314 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 7: just how important is because the second half of their lineup, 315 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 7: now that they've made some different moves, I think that 316 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 7: it was a good pick up to bring in g 317 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 7: Manchoy and Gary Sanchez has had a bit of a 318 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 7: career renaissance with the Padres. Hasan Kim has been one 319 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 7: of the most important players all season long. They're still 320 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 7: a good team, and they ended up keeping Snell and 321 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 7: Hater at the deadline, So I think tonight's game is 322 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 7: going to be fascinating. You've got Rich Hill making his 323 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 7: Padres debut against his longtime team there in Los Angeles. 324 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 7: It's certainly the Dodgers are the better team, There's no 325 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 7: doubt about that. I think Freddie Freeman is, with all 326 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 7: respect to Ronald the Couna junior, is probably still the 327 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 7: front runner for the NL MVP. Just look at Freddy's numbers. 328 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 7: He's been unbelievable. 329 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 8: Again. 330 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 7: He's going to the Hall of Fame because of his 331 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 7: consistency and everything that he's done. But the Dodgers, they are, 332 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 7: they are the model of consistency, and yet I still 333 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 7: have some questions about their rotation. Their bullpen has been 334 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 7: for the most part pretty good. Obviously last night was 335 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 7: a bit of an outlier. I just I think the Padres. 336 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 7: I look at this club and what they've done at 337 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 7: the deadline, and for all the talk about aj Preller 338 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 7: and questions about it, if he's gonna move Sodo, he didn't. 339 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 7: I think that was the right call. And now the Padres, 340 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 7: I think are very much a part of what is 341 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 7: a wide open wildcard in the National League. 342 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 343 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: The problem for the Padres, who have the best ERA 344 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: in the majors, they're dead last in the majors in 345 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: batting average, with runners and scoring position. That's how you 346 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: could have the best era in the majors and still 347 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: have a losing record. All right, So last Saturday, Rich 348 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: and I were telling you there's no way, no how 349 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: that the Angels can trade show Hey Atani. It would 350 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 2: be an absolute freaking pr nightmare. Since the trade deadline 351 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: on Tuesday, the Angels are zero to five and quickly 352 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 2: evaporating from the wildcard chase in the American League. Now 353 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: we asked you about you know where ultimately sho Hey 354 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 2: Otani is going to end up. You're still leaning heavily 355 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: to the Dodgers. So where does this really leave the 356 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 2: Angels Because I'm looking at their schedule coming up. They 357 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: got a six game roady against the Astros and the Rangers. 358 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: That's a disaster. I mean this seas he's in completely 359 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: fall apart on the Angels. Where does this organization go 360 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 2: If they end up obviously getting nothing for Otani, he 361 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: leaves what's left? 362 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 7: Well, that's a great question, and I still think that 363 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 7: in the context of what was going on the Angels, 364 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 7: I understand why they kept them. I also recognize them 365 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 7: from a baseball operation standpoint, it would have probably been 366 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 7: the more logical baseball operations moved to maximize their assets, 367 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 7: so to speak, and to make the trade with him 368 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 7: obviously at the trade deadline. But I appreciate why they didn't. 369 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 7: I appreciate that they wanted to put on a good 370 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 7: show for their fans down the stretch this season, and 371 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,239 Speaker 7: that their best chance, that their most important outcome as 372 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 7: an organization would be to find a way to keep 373 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 7: showing Otani beyond the end of this year, and the 374 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 7: only way they could do that was by making the 375 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 7: playoffs and by proving to him that they've got a 376 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 7: good ball club. Now that has not quite to your point, 377 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 7: the her to five record. The Mariners have won three 378 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 7: in a row against them, and they've now passed them 379 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 7: by the Angels have fallen back into fourth place in 380 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 7: the American League West. There's there's not a ton in 381 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 7: terms of superstar ability left in this lineup right now, 382 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 7: at least as long as Rendon and Shrouder on the 383 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 7: injured list, that they really rely a ton on showing. 384 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 7: Now they've got some younger players coming. Zach Netto I 385 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 7: think has played really well. Of course, everything that he's done, 386 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 7: I've been pretty impressible with him a shortstop. Mickey Moniac 387 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 7: has found new life for this organization. Matt Feist buying 388 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 7: the plate is I think he's got a chance to 389 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 7: be the catcher of the future. So that they've got 390 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 7: a good team, they really do. But their problem now 391 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 7: is that without show A, you've got other teams in 392 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 7: your division that are better. The Rangers every day lineup 393 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 7: is better. I think the Astros every day lineup is better, 394 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 7: and the Mariners, for all their flaws, they're probably better 395 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 7: team right now too. So they've got without show A, 396 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 7: they've got the makings of a five hundred team, which 397 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 7: is basically what they've been when they've been at their 398 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 7: best with Showy. So it is it's a tough time, guys. 399 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 7: There's their rotation I think is solid, not spectacular. They've 400 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 7: really pushed a lot of younger prospects, Chase Silset is 401 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 7: one of them through the minor leagues very quickly, and 402 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 7: they've they've shown that they can handle things at the 403 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 7: major league level. But this is not a difference making 404 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 7: special division winning team, not with show A and certainly 405 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 7: not without show Hey. 406 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 3: I want to, you know, put our focus on the 407 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 3: East Coast. Also because the New York Mets just had 408 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 3: an unbelievable collapse of a season that led to a 409 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: trade deadline where they were shipping off stars to bring 410 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 3: in some young, bright stars for the future. But the Mets, 411 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 3: they may not be good again until next season potentially, 412 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 3: but really twenty five to twenty six seems to be 413 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 3: with owner Steve Cohen is looking at now measure the 414 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 3: level of disappointment with Mets fans because I don't know. Look, 415 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 3: I grew up in New York, I grew up around 416 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: Mets fans. I know that there is usually low expectations 417 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: for this team because the franchise hasn't been able to 418 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 3: get out of its way in a long time. But 419 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 3: this was a huge commitment from Cohen, huge payroll, and 420 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 3: they rolled into the season and just couldn't get the 421 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: job done. What's the level of disappointment from that fan 422 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 3: base this year? 423 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 7: Rich? I would say this, it is one of the 424 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 7: most profoundly disappointing seasons in the history of Major League Baseball. 425 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 3: Wow what it is? 426 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 7: Because let's just go with the obvious top line statement, 427 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 7: this is the most expensive team in the history of 428 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 7: the game. Opening day payroll is there has never been 429 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 7: a team more expensive than this one ever in the 430 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 7: history of Major League Baseball, and they have a losing 431 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 7: record right now. That's just it's unconscionable that it's happened 432 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 7: this way, that in the span of three days they 433 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 7: traded two future Hall of Fame pitchers and sent away 434 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 7: nearly ninety million dollars in cash to facilitate that. It 435 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 7: is hard to believe. It is really hard to believe. 436 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 7: I think, even on their brightest days, Mets fans, the 437 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 7: Mets fans in my life, and I've been blessed to 438 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 7: have many of them, tend to often wonder where the 439 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 7: storm calrds, where the storm storm clouds are On a 440 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 7: beautiful day in San Diego, for example, there's gotta be 441 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 7: rain coming somewhere, somewhere there's rain, and that's that's kind 442 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 7: of Even when Mets fans are happy, that's what they see. 443 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 7: And so you can only imagine rich. You know, if 444 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 7: you've got a Mets fan in your life, please call 445 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 7: them today and offered a little bit of love because 446 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 7: they need it. Right now. There's there's a lot, there's 447 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 7: a lot of concern, a lot of bewilderment. There's a 448 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 7: general belief that Steve Cohen will keep investing in the 449 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 7: team until he has a winner. And that's great. That's 450 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 7: a wonderful thing to have as an ambition for your team. 451 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 7: But we have to realize that, especially in baseball over 452 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 7: the Big one sixty two, you cannot buy culture. You can't. 453 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 7: You have to have some level of development from within. 454 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 7: There are the exceptions to that rule in general, but 455 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 7: you look around the history of the game and teams 456 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 7: that not just winning one championship but doing it multiple years, 457 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 7: year after year after year. There's almost always a homegrown 458 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 7: quality to what you're doing, and if not originally drafting players, 459 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 7: bringing them in when they're young, and raising them in 460 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 7: your culture, and the Mets are seeing right now, guys. 461 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 7: The folly in that thinking is that when you bring 462 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 7: in nothing but expensive veteran players who are around forty 463 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 7: years old, it's you lose the depth of your organization. 464 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 7: And they haven't even signed their one guy internally, Pete 465 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 7: Alonso is not even sign long term, so they've got 466 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 7: more work to do. My friends, it is going to 467 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 7: be a tough tough time in Flushing Queens for the 468 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 7: foreseeable future. 469 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 2: All right, Well, JP you're going to see Rich tomorrow. 470 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: I have been permanently banned from PECO because I did 471 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: move back up to the Los Angeles area, and so yeah, yeah, okay, 472 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 2: I was banned, and you know the I understand it. 473 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 2: I would have to pay double just to get a 474 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: regular ticket Tobacco if I were to see out there. 475 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: But Rich'll be out there in full force.

I remember years ago when the 601 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: women lost the World Cup to Japan. It was a 602 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 2: big upset. See if I remember what year that was, 603 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 2: that was that was in let's see here. It was up, up, up, 604 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: up about twenty eleven, and I remember it was a 605 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 2: huge upset at the time. Japan, by the way, now 606 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: is a force, but it was a huge upset at 607 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: the time. And I was critical of the women, saying 608 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: that you know, wow, I mean, that's a choke job. 609 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: There's no way you lose that final to Japan. And 610 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: I was hammered, like you like, you can't be critical 611 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: of women losing in sports, And I'm like, what the 612 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 2: hell are you talking about? If this was like the 613 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 2: undefeated Patriots losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl. 614 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: The Patriots are raked over the coals for that loss. 615 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how do you lose to an inferior team? 616 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 2: They got skewed. What's the difference? There is no difference, 617 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: and there should be no difference. So let's call what 618 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: happened today and really in this World Cup for what 619 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 2: it is. It was a catastrophe for Team US today. 620 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 2: They'd never finished lower than third in any other World 621 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 2: Cup and they go out in the round of sixteen 622 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 2: and played miserable throughout this tournament. I mean, I mean, 623 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 2: I'm not going to sugarcoat this. Call it for what 624 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: it is. 625 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 3: Uh. 626 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 2: And by the way, Mega Repino was on than one 627 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: of our great players. She's like laughing she had a 628 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 2: penalty kick. Anyone came down a penalty kick today she 629 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 2: airmailed it. I mean it wasn't even close. Well, look 630 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: if she's laughing as she's walking off the field, I'm like, 631 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: can you imagine, you know, like someone laughing on the 632 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: field after failing in the clutch like that. I'm sorry, 633 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 2: I call it for what it is. It was a 634 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 2: catastrophe for Team US. 635 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 3: Say well, I mean, listen, I I've dealt with failure 636 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 3: my whole life. And sometimes sometimes the way it expresses 637 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 3: itself within you, and obviously you're not always completely in 638 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 3: control as your in control of your emotions. Sometimes it 639 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 3: expresses itself as laughter, like because really the the emotion 640 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 3: you're feeling is astonishment. And sometimes when you're playing so poorly, 641 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 3: and then also not only are you playing so poorly, 642 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 3: but as a team you're playing so poorly, you're you're 643 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 3: you're almost it's almost funny, like in a sick, dark way, 644 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 3: like it's almost like this is I mean, if I 645 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 3: don't laugh, I'll cry because this is astonishing how bad 646 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 3: we're And that's I think the emotion that was being 647 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 3: portrayed there. And and and to say that the women's 648 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 3: national team shouldn't be criticized the way men's sports should be, 649 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think that's very silly because 650 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 3: obviously the search for quality continues in women's sports, you know, 651 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 3: by comparison to men's sports, and so we don't need 652 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 3: to go further down that rabbit hole. But yeah, they 653 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 3: they played poorly. They deserve criticism. And I'm sure if 654 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 3: you go and listen to any of the interviews coming 655 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 3: out of that locker room after that loss and knowing 656 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 3: that they're going home from the World Cup. I'm sure 657 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 3: every last one of them will tell you the same thing. 658 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 3: They didn't show up for this one, and that's that's 659 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 3: unfortunately an embarrassment for the team, and and they're gonna 660 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 3: have to put the pieces back together over these years 661 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 3: now waiting for the next World Cup. 662 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 2: We're bad losers when we when we have something that 663 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 2: we have a grasp of men's basketball in the Olympics, 664 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: like we owned the sport, we created the sport, we 665 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 2: invented the sport, and we lose. No, no, not acceptable. 666 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 2: So back to square one. As far as our women's 667 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 2: national soccer team coming up on the other side, the 668 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame game has come and gone. So what 669 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 2: exactly do we do over the next three weeks as 670 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 2: far as the NFL is concerned the future of preseason football. 671 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harvey, Rich Harberger, Fox 672 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: Sports Sunday. We are live from the tire rack dot 673 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 2: Com studios. So Rich, I sat down on Thursday. I've 674 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 2: been in Arizona for a couple of days, got back 675 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 2: in time to settle in to watch the Hall of 676 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 2: Fame game matchup between the Jets and the Browns, and 677 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 2: you know me, I'm into the Hall of Fame. So 678 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 2: I don't know if you got to see any of 679 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 2: the speeches yesterday. I thought, overall, considering how many you know, 680 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 2: inductees there were, there were nine, little too many. But 681 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 2: I thought the speeches by and large were good. But 682 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 2: you know, the game itself, there was a bunch of 683 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 2: nobody's on the field, and you know, it's you know, like, okay, 684 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 2: I'm seeing live NFL action, right, I'm ready for the season. 685 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 2: And then I look at the calendar and I realize 686 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 2: that opening game between the Chiefs and the Lions is 687 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 2: still more than a month away. Like pre season football. 688 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 2: I mean, the Hall of Fame games one thing. But 689 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 2: now we got three full weeks pre season football. At 690 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 2: least the last week we'll have week zero of the 691 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 2: college football season. We don't have a lot of great matchups, 692 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 2: but at least it'll be I don't know, games that 693 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 2: mean something. How much long are we going to put 694 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 2: up with this charade of preseason football? I mean, it 695 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 2: just it just it seems so archaic. We want something 696 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: of substance. The idea of having these empty football games. 697 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 2: They have zero bearing on anything. Passing them off is 698 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 2: some kind of you know, NFL treat kidding me, Yeah, 699 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 2: can we just eliminate this garbage? 700 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 3: Well, you know what was actually interesting I realized it 701 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 3: about myself is I, as a former player, have made 702 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 3: the transition to fan because I was legitimately excited that 703 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 3: the NFL was back, and I was excited to see 704 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 3: real football being played for the first time, and I 705 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 3: had to retrain my brain that what I'm watching right 706 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 3: now is not real football. That a large majority of 707 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 3: these gentlemen out there on the football field, they're probably 708 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 3: going to be selling insurance or you know, going back 709 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 3: home and working a different job because football at this 710 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 3: level isn't for them, or you know, going to the 711 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 3: XFL or the USFL. You know. The point, the point 712 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 3: being is, yeah, we're still miles from home here for 713 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 3: the regular season, and yeah, we're we're looking at something 714 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,479 Speaker 3: that that is kind of. 715 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: Obsolete at this point. 716 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 3: We know from the pandemic that without training camp the 717 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 3: product can look very similar to the same as it 718 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 3: does without training camp. These guys stay in shape all 719 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 3: year round. Nobody needs to play in shape. If you 720 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 3: had a week of practice for each thirty two teams 721 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 3: and then you had a season. You would still have 722 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 3: the NFL. And that is that is the sad truth 723 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 3: of what we go through for this month. 724 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 2: Well again, risk reward, Yeah, and there's that time. I 725 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 2: mean risk reward, there's no reward. Look at it when 726 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 2: when you look at rosters of NFL teams, I got 727 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 2: news for people out there. Injuries can change the dynamic. 728 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 2: Obviously you have injuries. You got to replace guys. But 729 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 2: mostly there may be at at the most a handful 730 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 2: of roster spots that are actually up for grabs. At 731 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 2: the most rosters have already been determined, salaries are being paid. 732 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 2: So but the risk way out performs the reward in 733 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 2: these preseason games because anybody that plays in a game 734 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 2: could get hurt. 735 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 3: Yep. 736 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 2: So I just it literally makes no sense why we 737 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 2: are still subject to this. 738 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: All right? 739 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, a bombshell on the 740 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 2: college sports scene.

The Way Tire Buying Should be. So rich, 761 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 2: I want to go back to win you and I 762 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 2: got a tour of the new football stadium in San Diego. 763 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 2: This Snapdragon, this is the home of San Diego State football, 764 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 2: And this was before the stadium actually opened, and it 765 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 2: was right after the announcement that USC and UCLA were 766 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 2: bolting for the Big Ten. And one of the people 767 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 2: that we were doing this tour with is JD. Wicker, 768 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 2: longtime athletic director at San Diego stated, dear friend of ours. 769 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 2: So as our tour was ending, I was walking with 770 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 2: j D and I asked him about the possibility. At 771 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 2: the time, I thought the probability of San Diego State 772 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 2: leaving the Mountain West Conference to join the PAC twelve 773 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 2: with the vacancies created by the departure of USC and UCLA. 774 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 2: And he looked at me and said, well, first of all, 775 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 2: you're assuming there's even going to be a conference. 776 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 5: Now. 777 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 2: That was a long time ago. And as it turned out, 778 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 2: he's absolutely right, because the PAC twelve is about to 779 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 2: become the Pack zero, or we're going to see a 780 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 2: merger of the PAC twelve. What remains of it the 781 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 2: four Stanford col Washington State, Oregon State, with what's in 782 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 2: the Mountain West Conference and some other schools. But when 783 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 2: I think about someone as myself, rich that literally has 784 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 2: grown up with this conference, you know, my entire life 785 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:28,959 Speaker 2: to see it collapse on Friday as it did. Completely. 786 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 2: Collapse is a shock to the system and not completely unexpected. 787 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 2: Cleifcough is getting obviously a lot of heat, but his predecessor, 788 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 2: Larry Scott is really the culprit behind the collapse. You 789 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 2: remember that the PAC ten could have been the PAC 790 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 2: sixteen back in the day. He had Texas, he had Texas, 791 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 2: A and they were all ready to come. But he 792 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 2: didn't want to concede to the Longhorn rig you know network, 793 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 2: you know, and just some catastrophic decisions have led to 794 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 2: the death of a conference that's been in existence for 795 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 2: more than a hundred years. But I guess I have 796 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 2: to take a step back and just say we sort 797 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 2: of predicted this, right, Like we've been talking about the 798 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 2: evolution of what has been and what will be, and 799 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 2: this was the latest jolt to the college sports scene. 800 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 3: Well, look, just because something is very old and have 801 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 3: been done for a very long time and baked into 802 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 3: the traditions doesn't mean that it's right, you know. And 803 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 3: I mean there's plenty of examples, positive or negative, over 804 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 3: the course of history that proves that point. 805 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: You know, I was saying this yesterday Steve. 806 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 3: If somebody just all of a sudden parachuted in to 807 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 3: the United States of America and they had no previous 808 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 3: idea of how college football was supposed to be, you know, 809 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 3: so they have any of the nostalgia that we all have. 810 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:07,280 Speaker 3: They have none of the romance or connection to the rivalry. 811 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 3: Is they're just looking at Okay, you have college football? 812 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 3: Does this make sense? Is the question you ask them. 813 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 3: They would start looking at the conferences and realize, well, 814 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 3: none of these conferences really have the same number of teams, 815 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 3: and some of them have an odd number of teams, 816 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 3: and what's the playoff structure look like? Wait a second, 817 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 3: what exactly do conference championships get you? Wait a second, 818 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 3: why why aren't there playoffs inside of these conferences? There 819 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 3: would be more questions than answers, is my point. College 820 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 3: football is a mess, and the only reason why we're 821 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 3: accepting of it is because it's been a mess, and 822 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 3: it's been this way for a long time. It doesn't 823 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 3: mean it's a good system, though. It's not like the 824 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 3: fact that prior to having this ridiculous four game show 825 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 3: pony playoff system that we have now, we just guessed 826 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 3: who was the national champion is ridiculous. 827 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,919 Speaker 1: No other sport does it that way. 828 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 3: The fact that we now have what seems better but 829 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 3: is still a farcical comedy of a playoff bracket with 830 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 3: only four teams invited every year to find out who's 831 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 3: the best in college football, we still don't know who's 832 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 3: the best. So my point is this, Yes, you're right, 833 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 3: this conference that's been standing for a century plus and 834 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 3: these teams and these rivalries and these baked in traditions 835 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 3: that we're all so used to, that's going to feel 836 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,800 Speaker 3: odd and different and maybe even sad seeing. 837 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: The PAC twelve fall. 838 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 3: However, my sincere hope is whatever picture we end up 839 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 3: getting left with, whether it's like a three super conference 840 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 3: system or it's a two super conference system, I'm just 841 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 3: hoping it makes more sense because that's gonna make college 842 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 3: football even more interesting if you make a better postseason 843 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 3: out of college football. 844 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 2: All right, speaking of the post season, Rich, So, the 845 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 2: format for the twelve team playoff, which will begin in 846 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, was this, with the idea that you 847 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 2: had five power conferences, right, and then the group of five. 848 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 2: So you have five power conferences, group of five, So 849 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 2: it would be the sixth highest ranked conference champions in 850 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 2: other words, the Power five conference champions, and then one, 851 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 2: you know, the top ranked group of five champion to 852 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 2: get at least one of those teams in, and then 853 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 2: you have six at large bids. Well, we don't have 854 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 2: five power conferences anymore now, we only have four, So 855 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 2: you're down to the ACC, Big twelve, SEC, and the 856 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 2: Big Ten. The reconfiguration of what's left of the Pac 857 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 2: twelve plus the Mountain West plus other schools essentially will 858 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:52,280 Speaker 2: be the AAC of the West. So there's the ACC, 859 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 2: and then there's the AAC, which by the way, lost 860 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 2: a number of teams to the Big twelve starting this year. 861 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 2: That is not a power at all. So the idea 862 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 2: that the AAC and whatever reconfiguration of what's left in 863 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,320 Speaker 2: the West would each get a slot in the playoff 864 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 2: that can't happen. No no, no, no, no no, not at 865 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 2: the expense of the better teams out there. In fact, 866 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 2: I would dare say, now if I were the organizers 867 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 2: of this playoff, I would ignore any school that is 868 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,400 Speaker 2: not included now in the Big twelve, the ACC, the 869 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 2: Big Ten, and the SEC. I'd say, screw it, We're 870 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,399 Speaker 2: going to get our four conference champions, they will get 871 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 2: the buys and then all eight eight at large bids 872 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 2: are going to come out of those four conferences. Why 873 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 2: are we playing around with us? 874 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: Why? 875 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 2: Why are these schools even consider when we know they're 876 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 2: not on the same level? Why are they included in 877 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,760 Speaker 2: the conversation? Eliminate them? 878 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 3: But hang on a second, Hang on a second. But 879 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,879 Speaker 3: we do see some of those schools in the Group 880 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 3: of five coming out of the Mountwest or the MAC 881 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 3: or otherwise fighting their way into the playoffs. 882 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and how that going Cincinnati, that undefeated CINCINNTA they 883 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 2: got I get rilled. 884 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 3: I get it, But you know what, it makes it 885 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,919 Speaker 3: more interesting to me. Now we made differ an opinion here, 886 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 3: But I like the part of the reason why I 887 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 3: like March madness is not because we're getting to see UNC, Duke, 888 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 3: UCLA hoops, and Michigan State every year in the final four. 889 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 3: Sometimes there's the Cinderella, and I think that's really cool. 890 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 3: I think it's kind of fun seeing a little chaos 891 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:48,399 Speaker 3: baked into college basketball because the regular season, look, it's 892 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 3: very difficult obviously, with you know, three hundred plus teams 893 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 3: to keep your eye on every corner of the United 894 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 3: States state. So the regular season most of the time, 895 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 3: if you're watching college basketball, it's just a big marquee 896 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 3: game that you know that you're being told is important 897 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 3: based on the power rankings in the sport. But unless 898 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 3: you have a team, you're really not following the regular season. 899 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 3: Come March Madness, all of a sudden, things start clarifying. 900 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 3: The picture starts getting a little clearer. You start understanding like, oh, 901 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 3: this team had a really good year, but they've been 902 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 3: down for about a decade. Oh, this team came out 903 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 3: of absolute nowhere. Oh this is one of the traditional powers, 904 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,799 Speaker 3: like you know every year. I just mentioned four of 905 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 3: them that are going to be standing somewhere close to 906 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,879 Speaker 3: the top when this thing ends. But who knows, maybe 907 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 3: there's upsets. I dig that, and that's what I want 908 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 3: for college football as well. I want to see sometime 909 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 3: an expansion of this current idea of twelve teams. I 910 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 3: want to see it to be I wanted to be 911 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 3: more than that. I wanted to be a representative amount 912 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 3: compared to the amount of schools are actually vying for 913 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 3: a championship. In college basketball, you have a field of 914 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,280 Speaker 3: sixty eight that's whittled to one. But again, as I mentioned, 915 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,400 Speaker 3: you have over three hundred teams that you're pulling from. 916 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 3: If you had it all one hundred twenty plus college 917 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,880 Speaker 3: football teams vying for a national championship, I think you 918 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 3: should have a bracket of at least thirty two teams. 919 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: Why not? 920 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 2: All right? You and I are on a very different page, 921 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,439 Speaker 2: and we talked about this any time. 922 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 3: How much fun would that be? 923 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 2: Okay, here's an. 924 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 3: Think about this, think about the bracketology college football. Steve 925 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 3: would be all we would. 926 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 2: Talk about for one seed versus a thirty two seed. 927 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 2: I mean, okay, okay, but that's fine. But again, the 928 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 2: inclusion of a lot of these schools is not necessary. 929 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 2: They have no chance none. They might pull one miraculous upset. 930 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 2: But you know, the difference between the haves and have 931 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 2: nots in college football is way more pronounced than it 932 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,280 Speaker 2: is in college basketball. I agree with you, way different. 933 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: I definitely agree with you. 934 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 3: I'm not saying it would happen as often where you 935 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 3: would see Cinderella's her as often in college football than 936 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 3: college basketball. 937 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,760 Speaker 1: However, I will say this. 938 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 3: When it's single elimination, When it's single elimination, anything can happen. No, 939 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 3: a star player can get injured, a turnover in the 940 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 3: kicking game, a defender falls down defending a deep pass, 941 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 3: and it was just a close game before that. Because 942 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,240 Speaker 3: they played down to competition. Anything in single elimination can happen. 943 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 2: Now. 944 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,240 Speaker 3: I'm not saying we're gonna see something like air Force 945 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 3: beat Alabama for the national title. 946 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:36,360 Speaker 2: Or how about Iowa State or Iowa beating Alabama, or 947 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 2: even that Iowa. 948 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 10: Sam wants to jump in for a second here, Yes, Sam, 949 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 10: Iowa almost got to the playoff in twenty fifteen. They 950 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 10: were in line and. 951 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: They had a late season class well. 952 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 10: Then they lost by a few points to Michigan State. 953 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 10: Then they went on to play Alabama get drilled thirty five. 954 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 3: Nothing. 955 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 10: I agree with Richie or Steve. I think you got 956 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 10: to at least give people the opportunity. Even if your 957 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 10: TCU is going to go up against a Georgia and 958 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 10: that's a Power five program. They got drilled, what sixty 959 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 10: five to seven, But it's still for even the smaller 960 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 10: steel schools. You got to give them the opportunity. 961 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 2: To drop off between the power schools and the next 962 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 2: recruiting though. 963 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 10: You can recruit players, you can build a culture, and 964 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,399 Speaker 10: you can. Yeah, because here's the thing, and I. 965 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 2: Say, the state state of Oklahoma, never forget the selling 966 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 2: point on the four school playoff was going to get 967 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 2: more teams on opportunity to win a national championship. I 968 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,279 Speaker 2: said from day one, it's only going to make the 969 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 2: power schools more powerful because they're going to get more exposure, 970 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 2: which is exactly what happened. Okay, Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State 971 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 2: got I'M more powerful championship for over forty years. 972 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 3: However, how they're in power again. 973 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. 974 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 2: I mean, look the the that's because they're on the 975 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 2: the sec same thing with that LST. 976 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 3: The wheels of time turn and certain teams that are 977 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 3: at the top, they end up at the bottom and 978 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,359 Speaker 3: vice versa. And and my point is this with name, 979 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 3: image and likeness in college, for the fact that you 980 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 3: now can have a strong interested alumni base elevate a 981 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,280 Speaker 3: football or basketball program by dumping money into those programs 982 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 3: and getting better recruits means to me that all of 983 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 3: a sudden, the little guy has a little bit more 984 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 3: of a chance at breaking through. So I mean, you're 985 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 3: not seeing it yet because We've just scratched a surface 986 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 3: on name, image and likeness. But give this, give it 987 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 3: to twenty twenty five, Give this to twenty twenty seven. 988 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 3: Especially in college basketball's playoff, when we get to March Madness, 989 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 3: you're gonna start seeing some of these schools that used 990 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 3: to be out of nowhere become traditional powers because they're 991 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 3: able to recruit like the big boys are. They're able 992 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,359 Speaker 3: to start spending some of that money on bringing recruits in. 993 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,799 Speaker 3: Because look, as much as everybody wants to go to 994 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,759 Speaker 3: Duke or UNC or UCLA or Michigan State or some 995 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 3: of these other powers around the country Kentucky, and they 996 00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:00,160 Speaker 3: want to be treated lavishly in the locker rooms. You 997 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 3: know what also talks money. So if you're gonna go 998 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,319 Speaker 3: and play at one of these smaller schools, but you're 999 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,880 Speaker 3: gonna bring home a couple of five hundred thousand dollars 1000 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 3: a year to help your family out or to help 1001 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 3: you out to set yourself up for the rest of 1002 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 3: your life, man, you might consider going to that little school. 1003 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,200 Speaker 3: So I'm telling you, I think name, image and likeness, 1004 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 3: on top of everything else. We just talked about the 1005 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,040 Speaker 3: re scrambling of the Jets, and college football. It's gonna 1006 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 3: open this thing wide open. 1007 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 2: But what we are seeing with the Big Ten now 1008 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,400 Speaker 2: up to eighteen schools, they're gobbling up everybody. The bigger 1009 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 2: conferences are getting bigger, which is making it the middle 1010 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 2: class has been eliminated. But you could the rich the 1011 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 2: begetting richer, which is why USC, in a desperate effort 1012 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 2: to get back to relativity in terms of national championships 1013 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 2: in college football, has jumped on the money in the 1014 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 2: Big Ten. The more money you have, the more money 1015 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 2: you can hand out and name, image and likeness. 1016 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,840 Speaker 3: Saying like Rutgers is in the Big Ten, pit is 1017 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 3: in the ACC, Vanderbilts in the SEC. 1018 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: Like there are bad teams in these conferences. 1019 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 2: Yeah Nebraska is a bad team. 1020 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 3: Yeah Nebraska Northwestern Like they're I mean, they've been got 1021 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 3: to stay bad, but oh yeah, now they are. But 1022 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,239 Speaker 3: the point I'm trying to make is like it's it's 1023 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,879 Speaker 3: also look, there's quality issues. You always want to try 1024 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 3: to the first ones through the door need to be quality. 1025 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 3: So USC ucla huge media market and a traditional power 1026 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 3: in college football. With the Trojans, you bring them in Okay, Oregon, Washington, 1027 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 3: like some of these teams obviously have been relevant for 1028 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,879 Speaker 3: many years prior to their induction to this new car 1029 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,839 Speaker 3: or to their their induction to the conference. But when 1030 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 3: you think about it, these other teams, these these these 1031 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 3: teams in the MAC or the UH or in the 1032 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 3: Mountain West or you know, you're going to have to 1033 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 3: absorb some of them too, because guess what, once you 1034 00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 3: get done with the cream of the crop, there's gonna 1035 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 3: be battle over the rest of them. I really feel 1036 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 3: like that's where this is trending, all these teams, and 1037 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 3: maybe it's gonna be the top half of these group 1038 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,240 Speaker 3: of five conferences. You're not gonna see maybe New Mexico 1039 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 3: get absorbed immediately or at all, but some of the 1040 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 3: Boise States or the Fresno States or the San Diego 1041 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 3: States of the world, I could see them getting absorbed 1042 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 3: by the Big twelve or the Big ten as they 1043 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 3: make West coast expansion. I could see that happening all right. 1044 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 2: Well, on the other side, we'll get a little deeper 1045 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 2: into this. There's also one very unexplained aspect of this 1046 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 2: twelve school playoff. We'll explain. This is Fox Sports Sunday 1047 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 2: Steve Harvey, Rich Ronberg or Fox Sports. Sunday, we are 1048 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 2: live from the entire IRAQ dot com studios talking about 1049 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 2: the ever changing landscape of college sports and certainly a 1050 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 2: bombshell on Friday with a complete disintegration of the PAC twelve. 1051 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 2: We mentioned now with only four power conferences, they may 1052 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 2: want to reformat the college Football Playoff, which will expand 1053 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 2: to twelve schools starting in twenty twenty four. Still unexplained 1054 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 2: to me, and they've made it clear this is the case. 1055 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 2: So you could have a regular season in which Notre 1056 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 2: Dame post a perfect twelve to zero record is number 1057 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:27,600 Speaker 2: one in the country, the top four power conference champions 1058 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 2: all have a loss, and Notre Dame has no chance 1059 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 2: of being in the top four seats. The highest seed 1060 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 2: they can be is a five. No matter what they're ranking, 1061 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,920 Speaker 2: no matter what their record, they can never get a 1062 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 2: first round by because they will be held down exclusively 1063 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 2: by the four highest ranked conference champions. 1064 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 1: And why is that, Steve. 1065 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 3: Money. The reason why is because the networks are going 1066 00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 3: to make so much more money off of the Big 1067 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 3: Ten cumulatively then they will off of Notre Dame that 1068 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,480 Speaker 3: they are not going to be afraid to I guess 1069 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 3: in this case we would call it penalize Notre Dame 1070 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 3: for being independent, because if they're not interested in strengthening 1071 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 3: one of these power conferences, well then they're going to 1072 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 3: have to, unfortunately at best, play for fifth place in 1073 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,200 Speaker 3: the seeding. Assuming like you were just pointing out that 1074 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 3: these other conference champions don't have more than I would 1075 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,120 Speaker 3: assume one loss, but it would matter if they're conference champions. 1076 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,480 Speaker 3: They could be a two loss conference champion, it doesn't matter. 1077 00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 3: They're going to be ahead of Notre Dame. So them's 1078 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 3: the breaks, because again, nobody's hiding anymore. 1079 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 1: Deon Sanders said it perfect. 1080 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 3: He was interviewed about the Colorado bailing on the Back 1081 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 3: twelve going to the Big twelve, and he goes, yeah. 1082 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 3: He was like, the same teams are complaining about this, 1083 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 3: they're about to leave two. He was like, I mean, 1084 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,160 Speaker 3: this is about money. Everybody knows what this is about. 1085 01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 3: And he's one hundred percent right. 1086 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 2: All right, let me tell them for a second. 1087 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what's fair. It's just what makes these 1088 01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 3: conferences and these networks the most money. 1089 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 2: Okay, So the numbers that we are thrown out, for instance, 1090 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 2: So the way this all came down on Friday, Kleakov 1091 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 2: came in with this Apple plus deal that we get 1092 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 2: each school about twenty million dollars a year, I mean 1093 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 2: just alone for Washington and Oregon. Immediately bolting the Big Ten. 1094 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 2: Even though they're not gonna they're gonna get half of 1095 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,800 Speaker 2: what they'll get down the road, it was still in 1096 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 2: excess of thirty million dollars. Correct, that's their they're buying fee. 1097 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 2: So let's talk about Notre Dame for a second here. 1098 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 2: So Notre Dame has a couple of years left in 1099 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 2: their contract and they got what at the time was 1100 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 2: a sweetheart deal of twenty six million annually. Well, twenty 1101 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 2: six million annually puts them at the low end now 1102 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 2: when you look at some of the money being thrown 1103 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 2: around in the Big Ten and the sec. So they 1104 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,040 Speaker 2: think that Notre Dame, when this current deal ends with NBC, 1105 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 2: could get a deal in which they get sixty million 1106 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,080 Speaker 2: per who to be on par of what the Big 1107 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,479 Speaker 2: Ten is going to be handing out. The Michigan's, Ohio 1108 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 2: State's USC's out there, but they're not guaranteeing it's going 1109 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 2: to go to NBC. So let me ask you this. 1110 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 2: You're a television executive and you are thrown the opportunity 1111 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 2: to pick up Notre Dame football at the price tag 1112 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 2: of sixty million per year? Are you interested at sixty mil? 1113 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 2: That's what they're looking for to put them on par 1114 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,960 Speaker 2: with what the top schools are getting in the Big 1115 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:46,439 Speaker 2: Ten deal. 1116 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 3: Here's my thought process with all of this is you 1117 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 3: got to look where the leverage is. Does Notre Dame 1118 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 3: have more leverage than any of these teams in the 1119 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 3: Big Ten terms of bargaining power? 1120 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 2: Do they? 1121 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 1122 01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 3: I mean, does Notre Dame have any more bargaining power 1123 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 3: than any of these teams in the SEC? 1124 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 2: They think they do. Obviously they're expecting sixty million in 1125 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:15,400 Speaker 2: their next deal. 1126 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 3: Well, I'm telling you that may be possible, right, it 1127 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,040 Speaker 3: may be. But I really do feel as the Big 1128 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 3: Ten and the SEC continue to add better and bigger programs, 1129 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 3: and they have both of them obviously with Oklahoma and 1130 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 3: Texas joining the SEC and what we've seen the Big 1131 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 3: Ten do out West Western expansion, I believe fullheartedly that 1132 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,120 Speaker 3: when the Big Ten and the SEC go back and 1133 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:47,480 Speaker 3: renegotiate their contracts after this ten years, they're gonna blow 1134 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,760 Speaker 3: the doors off of any independent can get, even one 1135 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 3: is with a built in audience like Notre Dame. 1136 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 2: I agree with you, and so again, if they're not 1137 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 2: afforded that kind of money, that really puts them. Not 1138 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 2: only are are they getting penalized because of their independent 1139 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 2: status in terms of the playoff, but they're also going 1140 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 2: to get penalized in terms of the money coming in. 1141 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,960 Speaker 2: I mean, this was the selling point of Notre Dame 1142 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 2: was they were bringing in more money than any individual school. 1143 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:15,840 Speaker 2: They're not even close. 1144 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Strength to numbers. 1145 01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:21,560 Speaker 3: So I mean, listen, you may have an overwhelming like 1146 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 3: if we're gonna put this in war terms military terms, 1147 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 3: you may have a better prepared army, But if I 1148 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 3: have more lesser prepared combatants than you do, I can 1149 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:38,000 Speaker 3: still win the war because it doesn't necessarily matters who's 1150 01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:42,400 Speaker 3: the best or who's the strongest. Sometimes more is what matters. 1151 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,240 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just overwhelming. Think about the product that the 1152 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 3: Big ten has to sell at this point to any network. 1153 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 1: Who wants to do business with them. 1154 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 3: They have usc they have UCLA, they have Oregon, they 1155 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 3: have Washington. They have the entire northern United States covered 1156 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 3: basically ordered to border east to west, and some of 1157 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 3: the biggest teams in this country play in that conference. 1158 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,960 Speaker 3: In terms of success, especially recent success. I mean, they 1159 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,240 Speaker 3: have tradition, they have recency, they have everything going in 1160 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 3: their favor. Notre Dame, don't get me wrong, has had 1161 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,760 Speaker 3: its moments over this past decade. Notre Dame has been 1162 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,439 Speaker 3: a traditional power in college football. I'm not throwing any 1163 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 3: shade at Notre Dame, but what I'm saying is as 1164 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 3: great as they can be individually with the Big Ten 1165 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,360 Speaker 3: or the ACC potentially or the SEC even who knows 1166 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 3: is trying to do, is trying to make it so 1167 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 3: that it's an offer they can no longer refuse, because, 1168 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,920 Speaker 3: as you point it out, they may be vying for 1169 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 3: fifth place at best every year and also getting less 1170 01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 3: money in their television deals. Eventually, a school president, an 1171 01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 3: athletic director, a wealthy enough alumni, whatever, a booster who's 1172 01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 3: been supporting the program for years may say something like, 1173 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 3: you know what, you guys need to change something, otherwise 1174 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 3: we're going to turn off the spickett in terms of 1175 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 3: sending boatloads of cash into the program, and as a result, 1176 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 3: they'll end up cow towing and joining one of these 1177 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 3: super conferences. 1178 01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,920 Speaker 2: Well and that's that's what everyone's been waiting for for 1179 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 2: one hundred years with Notre Dame, and they refuse. But 1180 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 2: the simple economics may point Notre Dame to either a 1181 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:28,640 Speaker 2: ACC which is where the rest of their school programs 1182 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,880 Speaker 2: are part of. But I don't even know about the 1183 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 2: future of that. I want to I want to get 1184 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 2: I'm really into this right now because the s C, 1185 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:40,479 Speaker 2: the SCC and the Big ten are on a different level. 1186 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 2: But before we get to all that, let's find out 1187 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 2: what's trending right now.

This guy's beard had waves in it, like 1330 01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 2: there was a beard in a beard in a beard 1331 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:50,520 Speaker 2: like it was different layers. Yeah, that's it was unreal, 1332 01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,519 Speaker 2: Like there are certain people how you do that? 1333 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,959 Speaker 3: Like I also think about like, you know, look, something's 1334 01:11:59,040 --> 01:11:59,679 Speaker 3: living in there. 1335 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,479 Speaker 2: It was there, yeah, I mean there's thick. And then 1336 01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,200 Speaker 2: there was just like. 1337 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 3: Like I how many times do you think that guy 1338 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,320 Speaker 3: never shaved that it's stroking his chin whiskers and all 1339 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,880 Speaker 3: of a sudden he goes, oh junebug like it. We're like, oh, 1340 01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 3: just a little beetle. 1341 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 2: This guy had like a family of four living in 1342 01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,559 Speaker 2: that beard. I mean it was layer. I mean I've 1343 01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 2: never seen a beard that literally had layers to it. 1344 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:22,840 Speaker 9: I believe it. 1345 01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 8: And then you have like Yankees Pitcher Nasty Nestor Cortes 1346 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,960 Speaker 8: who has a mustache but it looks like very thin. 1347 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,559 Speaker 2: First of all, you're not supposed to have facial hair as. 1348 01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:34,919 Speaker 8: A Yankee, but they let you do a mustache a mustache, 1349 01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:36,920 Speaker 8: which is ridiculous. 1350 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 9: Which is the most ridiculous thing ever. 1351 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, why why did that facial adornment, grow a popularity, 1352 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,320 Speaker 3: shave those sideburns maddingly well. 1353 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,600 Speaker 2: The the Oakland A's of the early seventies were the 1354 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,120 Speaker 2: first guys to grow facial hair. It was very pie 1355 01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 2: and rolly fingers of course, game most famous, yeah rolled 1356 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,000 Speaker 2: up mustache. Yeah yeah, yeah, I want to I want 1357 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 2: to interject for a second and thank you. Mindent packing 1358 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:05,120 Speaker 2: with you later. Winners and losers in this race to 1359 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 2: redefine the landscape of college sports. Loser George Kliakoff, who 1360 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 2: actually inherited a big mess from Larry Scott and made 1361 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 2: it worse. And then there's Brett Yormark, who is the 1362 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 2: commissioner of the Big Twelve. Rich. This conference was on 1363 01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 2: life support. They were down to ten schools. Texas and 1364 01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 2: Oklahoma were bolting, and we assumed, you remember there was 1365 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 2: talk of a merger between the PAC twelve and what 1366 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 2: remained of the Big Twelve, which was down to ten schools. 1367 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,599 Speaker 2: They didn't even have a conference championship game anymore because 1368 01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 2: they only had ten schools. And now they're up to sixteen. 1369 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,920 Speaker 2: They get Colorado back, They add the four schools out 1370 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 2: of the PAC twelve. They get the four schools out 1371 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:57,479 Speaker 2: of the AAC. So even though they're losing Texas and 1372 01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:01,479 Speaker 2: Oklahoma next year to the SEC got to sixteen schools. 1373 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 2: So this Brett, your Mark just destroyed George Kliakoff, who 1374 01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 2: could have done the same thing but was so shortsighted 1375 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,800 Speaker 2: he lost sight of it. And now well he's going 1376 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 2: to be out of a job. 1377 01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 3: Well, hang on, hang on. So your Mark and Kleifkoff, 1378 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:20,400 Speaker 3: what do they have in common. 1379 01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:22,479 Speaker 1: They are. 1380 01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 3: Indebted to the schools that they work for to get 1381 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 3: their bidding done. They are figureheads. They are not decision makers. Now, 1382 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,360 Speaker 3: don't get me wrong. They can apply their opinion. They 1383 01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:46,240 Speaker 3: can certainly disagree with what these university presidents and athletic 1384 01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,679 Speaker 3: directors and board members want to do with the future 1385 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 3: of the conference. But they're not making decisions on their own. 1386 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,280 Speaker 3: Like this is what I always say when people are 1387 01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:59,280 Speaker 3: upset with Roger Goodell, or people are upset with Rob 1388 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:04,719 Speaker 3: Manfred or Adam Silver and you know the the NFL, NBA, MLB. 1389 01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 1: This commissioner doesn't know what he's doing. 1390 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 3: This commissioner is a human shield for the thirty or 1391 01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:15,120 Speaker 3: thirty two owners, depending on which sport we're talking about. 1392 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,520 Speaker 3: And that is the same exact thing for these conference commissioners. 1393 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,679 Speaker 3: Your Mark looks smart because the schools that were helping 1394 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:26,560 Speaker 3: him make decisions were helping him make the right decisions. 1395 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 3: George Kleivekoff does not, and it's for the same reason. 1396 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:37,120 Speaker 3: So I don't blame Clefkoff for the shortsightedness. I blame 1397 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:41,800 Speaker 3: all these university presidents and these athletic directors who overplayed 1398 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,599 Speaker 3: their hand, who didn't understand the tenor of. 1399 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,840 Speaker 2: The organs off the charts exactly. 1400 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:53,360 Speaker 3: That's the problem is these schools like and name them 1401 01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,639 Speaker 3: as Stanford, cow Oregon, Washington. I mean some of them 1402 01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,759 Speaker 3: obviously were had their site set on leaving the conference 1403 01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 3: all together. But they were like, merge with the Big 1404 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:10,560 Speaker 3: twelve and sully our reputation, no chns. I mean, like Stanford, 1405 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 3: their endowment is billions of dollars. So maybe they were saying, like, what, 1406 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 3: and we're going to join the Big twelve with those 1407 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:22,800 Speaker 3: Texas schools. I think not that's what That's the sort 1408 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,080 Speaker 3: of stuff that was happening behind the scenes, all right. 1409 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 2: I got a little time out. On the other side. 1410 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,679 Speaker 2: I want to get into one of what has always 1411 01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:36,840 Speaker 2: been perceived as the most important aspect of college sports rivalries. 1412 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 2: Where do we go from here? This is Fox Sports Sunday, 1413 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 2: Steve Harbin, Rich Harburger, Fox Sports Sunday. We are live 1414 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:50,200 Speaker 2: from the tai Iraq dot Com studios. When I grew 1415 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:54,880 Speaker 2: up rich a million years ago, on the college football scene, 1416 01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 2: it was all about rivalries Ohio State, Michigan, USC, ucla USC, 1417 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:04,639 Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Alabama, Auburn, Harvard, Yale. There was also one 1418 01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,080 Speaker 2: of the biggest rivalries was Oklahoma Nebraska in what was 1419 01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,200 Speaker 2: then the old Big Eight Conference. It was an annual game. 1420 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,960 Speaker 2: In fact, one year in nineteen seventy one, it was 1421 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 2: the game of the century, two undefeated teams. Nebraska came 1422 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 2: out on top of that one. So when Nebraska bolted 1423 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 2: for the Big Ten, people said, wow, you've destroyed the sport. 1424 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,800 Speaker 2: I mean, you've taken away one of the greatest rivalries 1425 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:33,320 Speaker 2: of all time. Somehow college football survived that. And I 1426 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,840 Speaker 2: know a lot of people I saw you yesterday about 1427 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:40,479 Speaker 2: Oregon and Washington departing from their you know stepsisters, so 1428 01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,560 Speaker 2: to speak, Washington State and Oregon State, you know, and 1429 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 2: little Pullman, Washington, Little Corvallis, Oregon no more Civil War, 1430 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,040 Speaker 2: no more Apple Cup. They said, oh maybe every once 1431 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,080 Speaker 2: in a while that I'll have that game. But as 1432 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 2: we've seen over the years, I remember growing up, no 1433 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,080 Speaker 2: one talked about Miami or Florida State of Florida. They 1434 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 2: became powers in the eighties and nineties, and those games 1435 01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:06,559 Speaker 2: suddenly became must watch. Notre Dame and no rivalry against 1436 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:10,880 Speaker 2: Miami until suddenly Miami was good and suddenly we wanted 1437 01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,680 Speaker 2: to see those games. So, and you know me, I'm 1438 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:18,840 Speaker 2: old school, but the idea of preserving rivalries to in 1439 01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 2: some way preserve interest in college football, I think we 1440 01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:25,720 Speaker 2: have gone way past that. 1441 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I think this is going to sound really weird, 1442 01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 3: but I think that college football, if all of a 1443 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:40,840 Speaker 3: sudden every rivalry disappeared, right, if you took away Alabama, 1444 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:45,080 Speaker 3: Auburn and Ohio State Michigan and you just any of 1445 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:49,360 Speaker 3: these regional rivalries, if they all just vanished and it 1446 01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,519 Speaker 3: was because these schools no longer wanted to do this, 1447 01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 3: and the schools ultimately have a tremendous amount of decision 1448 01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,880 Speaker 3: making power, fan bases would be upset for a very 1449 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 3: long time. But college football would. I Look, there are 1450 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 3: certain businesses, right now in this country that. 1451 01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Are just untoppable, and college football. 1452 01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 3: Is one of them. The NFL is another one. You know, 1453 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,760 Speaker 3: if you want to expand the scope into other businesses, 1454 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:19,240 Speaker 3: we could go there. But football right now is king 1455 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,440 Speaker 3: in this country in terms of entertainment. 1456 01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,160 Speaker 1: I just don't think rivalries. 1457 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:26,679 Speaker 3: Are nearly as important to the survival of the sport 1458 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:29,720 Speaker 3: as they once were. And that's the reason why you're 1459 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 3: seeing a team like Oregon extricating themselves to a different conference, 1460 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 3: really destroying the opportunity on an annual basis to have 1461 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,559 Speaker 3: the Apple Cup because it doesn't matter anymore. 1462 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 2: It just doesn't. It doesn't have the same impact. Again, 1463 01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:49,800 Speaker 2: the idea of college football being regional, it was very regional, 1464 01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 2: right and those days are gone. I mean, it just is. 1465 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 2: I mean, there was an era where the South and 1466 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 2: the East and the Midwest the west, you know, it 1467 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,640 Speaker 2: was very separate from the rest of the country. And 1468 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,720 Speaker 2: it's it's just not that way anymore. So get used 1469 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,120 Speaker 2: to it. By the way, suggestions for renaming the Big Ten, 1470 01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 2: which is now eighteen one person just said, how about 1471 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 2: Big ten and friends? Can we go there? I mean, 1472 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,679 Speaker 2: you sort of have to keep it open ended. Because 1473 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:21,640 Speaker 2: they're probably not done it. 1474 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,280 Speaker 3: Excity. It's a playoff of like John and Kate plus a, 1475 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,519 Speaker 3: like Big ten plus eight something like that. 1476 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,800 Speaker 2: Think about that.

By the way, if you're 1485 01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,839 Speaker 2: just tuning in, Monsey's been telling you about Team USA 1486 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,599 Speaker 2: gone from World Cup. What a nightmare now for the network, 1487 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:04,920 Speaker 2: right they have to continue on with this World Cup 1488 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,839 Speaker 2: coverage and no Team USA. 1489 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:09,559 Speaker 1: Yikes. 1490 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 2: That was supposed to carry us a little bit through this. 1491 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,839 Speaker 2: You know preseason football, you know some you know Team USA, 1492 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:22,320 Speaker 2: and that's gone. We got a lot of NFL to 1493 01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:25,439 Speaker 2: get too. Rich. I want to start with the Josh 1494 01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:30,200 Speaker 2: Jacobs situation with the Raiders and the idea that they 1495 01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:35,200 Speaker 2: would actually consider rescinding his franchise tag, which would make 1496 01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 2: him a free agent. And of course there's a couple 1497 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,679 Speaker 2: of teams immediately that, Oh, I don't know, division rivals 1498 01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,800 Speaker 2: like the Broncos, and the rate the Chiefs might jump 1499 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,519 Speaker 2: on a guy like Josh Jacobs. I'm trying to figure 1500 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 2: out where the Raiders are right now. You hired a 1501 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:57,000 Speaker 2: coach who, now, including last season, is eleven and twenty 1502 01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,720 Speaker 2: eight in his last thirty nine games as a head 1503 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 2: coach in the NFL. Imagine the mindset of DeVante Adams 1504 01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:06,400 Speaker 2: right now, right, I mean a year ago, DeVante Adams 1505 01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,000 Speaker 2: wanted to be a Raider so he could be reunited 1506 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 2: with his old buddy, his Fresno State teammate, Derek Carr. 1507 01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,280 Speaker 2: Car's gone, by the way, he's here. The latest on 1508 01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:19,479 Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo is throwing interception after interception during practice. Josh 1509 01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 2: mcdanis says, no problem. I've seen some good throws in there. 1510 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:26,640 Speaker 2: But I'm trying to figure out the direction of a 1511 01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 2: franchise that, even though record wise they haven't been relevant 1512 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:36,160 Speaker 2: in twenty years, there's still a very valuable brand to 1513 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:40,200 Speaker 2: the NFL, especially now with their location in Las Vegas 1514 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 2: and two years ago, this team made the playoffs. You know, 1515 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,040 Speaker 2: with all the ruckus and everything that was going on 1516 01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:50,040 Speaker 2: with Gruden everything else, they made the playoffs. And I'm 1517 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 2: looking at this team right now, I mean potentially if 1518 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs doesn't suit up for this team, not only 1519 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,040 Speaker 2: are they the worst team in the AFC West, I 1520 01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:00,800 Speaker 2: mean they're going to be battle for the number one 1521 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 2: pick in the draft. How did we get here and 1522 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:10,000 Speaker 2: and what would be the mindset of resinding the franchise 1523 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:11,920 Speaker 2: tag offer of Josh Jacobs. 1524 01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:14,920 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's face it. 1525 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:19,479 Speaker 3: If Josh Jacobs is principled enough that he is threatening 1526 01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 3: holdout and and it means like he refuses and I 1527 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 3: mean refuses to play this season for the Raiders as 1528 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:33,640 Speaker 3: a result of those principles. Okay, I mean, like there's 1529 01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,840 Speaker 3: there's a part of me that says, well, just hang 1530 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:40,480 Speaker 3: in there, find the guy into oblivion, and then hopefully, 1531 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 3: you know. 1532 01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 1: He'll play at some point for you. 1533 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 3: But if it looks like this isn't going anywhere positive, well, 1534 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:53,639 Speaker 3: then I mean it's either cut bait now or cut 1535 01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 3: bait later. I mean, like that's that's now. We'll see 1536 01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:04,400 Speaker 3: where that story goes. But particularly talking about the Raiders globally. 1537 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 3: I think where they're going is where a lot of 1538 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 3: NFL teams are going when they are a little bit 1539 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,160 Speaker 3: listless and they don't have a great roster that's built 1540 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,040 Speaker 3: around the quarterback position. The fact of the matter is 1541 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 3: they just don't have a great quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo has 1542 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,519 Speaker 3: had moments of greatness. He just hasn't had it sustained 1543 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 3: long enough for them to win a Super Bowl with 1544 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,120 Speaker 3: him anywhere, whether it was you know, I mean he 1545 01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 3: barely started in New England, but San Francisco, and now 1546 01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 3: that he's a Raider, I mean, we'll see what the 1547 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:39,040 Speaker 3: reunion with Josh McDaniels looks like. But this guy has 1548 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 3: been a winner, but very reliant on the talent he 1549 01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 3: has around him. It reminds me a lot of Kirk Cousins, 1550 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,559 Speaker 3: you know, in some ways, he reminds me of Dak Prescott. 1551 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 3: I think Dak Prescott's a better quarterback. You get my idea, though, 1552 01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:53,840 Speaker 3: Like he's he's somewhere in the middle pack, the middle 1553 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,280 Speaker 3: tier of the NFL. And so where the Raiders are 1554 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,400 Speaker 3: is they They moved on from one guy who very 1555 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 3: similar in Derek Carr, to Jimmy Garoppolo. So in my mind, 1556 01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,840 Speaker 3: unless you have a great roster, and I mean a 1557 01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,679 Speaker 3: great roster built around talents like those two, you're gonna 1558 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,760 Speaker 3: be a team that's going to be just above five 1559 01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:22,160 Speaker 3: hundred most seasons. Or if you get into the postseason 1560 01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:25,480 Speaker 3: on a great season from your offense or defense respectively, 1561 01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,880 Speaker 3: or together a collaborative experience like we've seen in the past, 1562 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 3: it's gonna be an early knockout in the postseason. And 1563 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 3: that's exactly what's happened. It's been a decade of this 1564 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 3: basically since Derek car has been drafted. It doesn't mean 1565 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,120 Speaker 3: that he can't win a Super Bowl. It just means 1566 01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 3: that they haven't built a good enough team around him 1567 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,920 Speaker 3: all those years he was in Oakland and the years 1568 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 3: that he was in Vegas to win a Super Bowl, 1569 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 3: and so time time was up. He wanted to move on, 1570 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 3: and so he did. 1571 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,080 Speaker 2: I get back to a conversation we had with our 1572 01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:01,320 Speaker 2: buddy Bucky Brooks talking about the importance of a franchise 1573 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:06,320 Speaker 2: running back, like what teams can be benefited by having 1574 01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,880 Speaker 2: that dominant running back, And he said, look, if you 1575 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 2: have a great quarterback, you know, top tier quarterback. You 1576 01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:18,320 Speaker 2: don't need a great running back. You can get by 1577 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,800 Speaker 2: with running back by committee. Look at Tom Brady. I mean, 1578 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,760 Speaker 2: his whole career in New England was running back by committee. 1579 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 2: But if you were a middle level I mean, we 1580 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 2: were using Kirk Cousins as an example of that, and 1581 01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,360 Speaker 2: the value of a Dalvin Cook to a quarterback like 1582 01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:40,080 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, it's immeasurable. Minnesota's rolling the dice by not 1583 01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,720 Speaker 2: retaining Dalvin Cook and going by running back by committee. 1584 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,800 Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to play out well with 1585 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,800 Speaker 2: a quarterback like Kirk Cousins. And I would include Jimmy 1586 01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 2: Garoppolo in this same instance. I can't when I hear 1587 01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:58,000 Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels and look at I'll acknowledge this guy has 1588 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,040 Speaker 2: an incredible record as offensive coredinator, but I don't get 1589 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 2: his mindset as a head coach. The explanation for Josh 1590 01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:09,240 Speaker 2: Jacob's breakout season last year was, well, it wasn't by design, 1591 01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 2: it was by accident. Okay, yeah, But by accident you 1592 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:17,040 Speaker 2: found out that you have one of the premier running 1593 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 2: backs in the NFL along with one of the top 1594 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:25,680 Speaker 2: receivers in the NFL. Yeah, why would you pick up 1595 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:28,640 Speaker 2: the ot It doesn't make any sense. And can you 1596 01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:32,280 Speaker 2: imagine if he Ashley ends up with an AFC West rival. 1597 01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,200 Speaker 2: I mean, at some point you have to step in 1598 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:41,320 Speaker 2: and say this organization has no clue what they're doing 1599 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:46,000 Speaker 2: and it's and I get back to you, You're only 1600 01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,759 Speaker 2: good is your weakest link. There's a lot of weak 1601 01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:51,640 Speaker 2: links in this NFL. And yes, the overall picture is 1602 01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:55,240 Speaker 2: nothing but glorious for the Shield, but it's got to 1603 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 2: be frustrating for the league itself when franchises really under 1604 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,799 Speaker 2: mind themselves with really stupid decision. 1605 01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,840 Speaker 3: But franchises can get better in a hurry, and all 1606 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:10,639 Speaker 3: it takes. All it takes is a great quarterback being 1607 01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:12,719 Speaker 3: paired with a talented head coach. 1608 01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,840 Speaker 2: But how many really great quarterbacks are They're rich? I 1609 01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,640 Speaker 2: mean seriously, I mean great quarterbacks. 1610 01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:22,080 Speaker 3: Well, we're seeing more and more enter the league as 1611 01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:25,719 Speaker 3: a result of the emphasis put on the quarterback position. 1612 01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,600 Speaker 2: Two years ago we were talking Kyler Murray was a 1613 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,080 Speaker 2: great quarterback. Is he still a great quarterback? 1614 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 1: Oh? No, absolutely not. 1615 01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:37,800 Speaker 2: And that is that Shawn Watson still a great quarterback. 1616 01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:38,479 Speaker 1: That remains to be seen. 1617 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,720 Speaker 3: Look, I personally think that we've seen the best of 1618 01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,320 Speaker 3: Joshaun Watson, but I don't know if my opinion on 1619 01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:46,360 Speaker 3: that is colored by the. 1620 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,520 Speaker 2: Mark Jackson still a great quarterback. 1621 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:55,040 Speaker 3: Okay, So you're naming three guys who have at one 1622 01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:59,639 Speaker 3: missed two years of football due to sexual misconduct allegations, right, 1623 01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 3: the other one who had a horrific knee injury, and 1624 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 3: the front office in the head coaching position is in 1625 01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:09,640 Speaker 3: complete flux in Kyler Murray in Arizona. And then the 1626 01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:13,360 Speaker 3: third has been something less endurable for the past two 1627 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,840 Speaker 3: seasons after having early success in this league, breakout star. 1628 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 3: So those are three good examples of young quarterbacks who 1629 01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,680 Speaker 3: may or may not flame out. And I don't think 1630 01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 3: we could really categorize Deshaun Watson as a young quarterback. 1631 01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,800 Speaker 3: But how about the ones have recently come out of 1632 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 3: college and automatically had success, like Trevor Lawrence, who in 1633 01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,600 Speaker 3: year two looks like he's going to be a superstar 1634 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,519 Speaker 3: in this league for a decade to come. Josh Allen 1635 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:43,280 Speaker 3: and Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow and 1636 01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 3: two a tongue of Vailoa and Jalen Hurts. I mean, 1637 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,280 Speaker 3: right now, we're entering the age of the quarterback. And 1638 01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,760 Speaker 3: I know we're saying goodbye to the goat, And we 1639 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 3: recently waved to the sheriff as he saddled up and 1640 01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 3: he went off into the sunset with the Denver Broncos. 1641 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:04,799 Speaker 3: And you no longer have the Gunslinger and Drew Brees 1642 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:08,639 Speaker 3: down there with the Saints. But the stock is being 1643 01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:13,200 Speaker 3: replenished faster than it's ever been in NFL history. Because again, 1644 01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 3: when the quarterback position was minted as the most important 1645 01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:23,240 Speaker 3: position in sports, there was a transformation process at the 1646 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:26,559 Speaker 3: youth league and high school level where all of a sudden, 1647 01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:29,880 Speaker 3: these high schools were like, Nope, we're no longer running 1648 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:33,559 Speaker 3: the football every single down, We're no longer running the 1649 01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:34,400 Speaker 3: option game. 1650 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:36,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna open things up, and. 1651 01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:40,799 Speaker 3: We're gonna be a shotgun, wide open, empty set offense. 1652 01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 3: You look around high school football now, everybody's throwing the football. 1653 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,919 Speaker 3: You look back a decade ago, nobody was throwing the football. 1654 01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:51,280 Speaker 3: And so we're entering the age of the quarterback. Yeah, 1655 01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:54,760 Speaker 3: you're right, Lamar Jackson may be too fragile to play 1656 01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:57,760 Speaker 3: long term in this league. Kyler Murray, we may have 1657 01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,920 Speaker 3: seen the best of his days. And he may fade 1658 01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,719 Speaker 3: Deshaun watchin. It's a coin flip if he can knock 1659 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,599 Speaker 3: the rust off. He was an incredible NFL quarterback before 1660 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:11,120 Speaker 3: he was alleged to be involved in all of those 1661 01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:16,680 Speaker 3: sexual misconduct situations. I think that we are entering probably 1662 01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,840 Speaker 3: the greatest moment the NFL has ever had in terms 1663 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:20,519 Speaker 3: of the quarterback. 1664 01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 2: All Right, on the other side, a little personal insight 1665 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:29,240 Speaker 2: on one NFL team looking for a big bounce back 1666 01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:33,439 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three.

On Thursday, Rich my crew, Denise Drake, 1683 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:46,800 Speaker 2: Garrett Parris and her boyfriend, they all went down to Irvine. Yeah, 1684 01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:53,400 Speaker 2: two to ten RAMS training camp. That is because Tyler 1685 01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:58,759 Speaker 2: Higbee and his significant other have become very close friends 1686 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 2: with Denise involved in a real estate thing. But they're 1687 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,599 Speaker 2: much more. They're friends now, right, So they went down 1688 01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:10,439 Speaker 2: to Irvine to check out RAMS training camp. Now, you know, 1689 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 2: you know those days when the fans are allowed to 1690 01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,559 Speaker 2: show up at training camp. You've been part of that obviously. 1691 01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,120 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Yeah. 1692 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,840 Speaker 2: By the way, in your time in the league, when 1693 01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:27,160 Speaker 2: you had a fans day at training camp, and you know, 1694 01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:31,760 Speaker 2: sometimes they actually charge you to be there, were the 1695 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:36,280 Speaker 2: players encouraged to interact with the fans on those days? 1696 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:37,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. 1697 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:41,280 Speaker 3: In fact, I would say the majority of training camp 1698 01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:46,440 Speaker 3: practices were, or at very least fifty percent were open practices, 1699 01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:50,600 Speaker 3: meaning fans were welcome to come to practice and I 1700 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:53,879 Speaker 3: think it's first of all, great for the fans because 1701 01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:59,480 Speaker 3: there's a lot of people who can't afford the ridiculously 1702 01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,679 Speaker 3: high ticket prices in the NFL, but they're still enormous 1703 01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 3: fans of the game. And when they can take off 1704 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 3: days from work or if they have a free afternoon 1705 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 3: to you know, take their kids down to a training 1706 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:19,560 Speaker 3: camp practice, you can actually have a more intimate opportunity 1707 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,799 Speaker 3: to get to know players post practice with autograph signings 1708 01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:26,120 Speaker 3: and things like that. So so yeah, like I mean, 1709 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:30,599 Speaker 3: it was it was a welcoming environment at training camps 1710 01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:31,679 Speaker 3: often for the fans. 1711 01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 2: Well, I think it should be. That's why you have 1712 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:39,920 Speaker 2: days like that. So I was curious when they got back, like, okay, 1713 01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:45,000 Speaker 2: did how the rams interact? And they cited some very 1714 01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:48,559 Speaker 2: positive examples, Tyler Higbee in one of them, but you know, 1715 01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:52,960 Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay, you know, spent some time. But 1716 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:57,360 Speaker 2: there were two two rams, very prominent rams, that said no. 1717 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:03,599 Speaker 2: In fact, even when approached they were literally told no, okay, 1718 01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:12,639 Speaker 2: And those two are Aaron Donald and apparently the worst 1719 01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:18,760 Speaker 2: of it was Cooper Cup And I thinking to myself, 1720 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:22,240 Speaker 2: this is not good pr especially for a team rebounding 1721 01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:26,240 Speaker 2: from a disastrous season in five and twelve. I mean 1722 01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:28,600 Speaker 2: when we talk about training camp and you got your 1723 01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:31,800 Speaker 2: get your working and everything else, that there's time to 1724 01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:34,320 Speaker 2: do all that stuff. But if you have a day 1725 01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:36,519 Speaker 2: where people are showing up paying money to you know, 1726 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:38,559 Speaker 2: sort of you know, and it's not like you know, 1727 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,320 Speaker 2: you have to stand there in cite autographs for hour 1728 01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:46,559 Speaker 2: upon hour and just an acknowledgement. Sometimes that's all it takes. 1729 01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:49,519 Speaker 2: Like you know, you wave and they way back or 1730 01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,559 Speaker 2: you know, you know, that's all it really takes. Yeah, 1731 01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:55,240 Speaker 2: that's all it takes. You know, some kind of acknowledgement. 1732 01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:58,559 Speaker 2: Hey we're big fans, blah blah, Hey thanks so much. 1733 01:35:58,760 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 2: That's all it takes. 1734 01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,559 Speaker 3: All right, I'm going to I'm gonna pump the brakes 1735 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,679 Speaker 3: on this to just say, to just give you insight. 1736 01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:07,240 Speaker 2: Okay. 1737 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:11,000 Speaker 3: And now again, I don't know Cooper cup or Aaron 1738 01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:14,920 Speaker 3: Donald personally. I've never met them, never spoke to them, 1739 01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:17,519 Speaker 3: never interviewed either of them either as a matter of fact, 1740 01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:19,640 Speaker 3: on this side of the work, you know, on the 1741 01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:23,479 Speaker 3: media side. But what I can tell you is, first 1742 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:28,559 Speaker 3: of all, training camp is work, right, you know, the 1743 01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:32,559 Speaker 3: same way you know, you know a garbage man gets 1744 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 3: on the back of the truck, or the same way 1745 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:37,479 Speaker 3: a tax accountant has his crazy times of the year 1746 01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:40,120 Speaker 3: where he's it feels like he's locked in his office 1747 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,800 Speaker 3: in front of a computer, or you know, a salesman 1748 01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:47,680 Speaker 3: is on his beat grinding or working the phones. Like, 1749 01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:50,160 Speaker 3: there are good days and there are bad days. And 1750 01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,559 Speaker 3: depending on what day you catch anybody on if they're 1751 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:58,360 Speaker 3: having a tough work day, the level of communication you 1752 01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:02,880 Speaker 3: want to provide is there's no question about that. Now, 1753 01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:07,599 Speaker 3: at training camp, there are certain position groups that are 1754 01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,719 Speaker 3: required to go around, do the rounds, sign autographs. Usually 1755 01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:14,479 Speaker 3: every team I played for, that's what it was. It's 1756 01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,519 Speaker 3: like today, it's gonna be the offensive lineman. Today, it's 1757 01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,000 Speaker 3: gonna be the receivers. Today, it's gonna be the tight 1758 01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,120 Speaker 3: ends and the quarterbacks. Today it's gonna be the defensive lineman. 1759 01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 3: And you send them around the perimeter of this field. Now, 1760 01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:28,920 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that nobody else is in supposed to 1761 01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:32,960 Speaker 3: or allowed to sign autographs. Anybody can sign autographs, but 1762 01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:34,640 Speaker 3: that's usually the way it's scheduled. 1763 01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:35,920 Speaker 1: I agree with you. 1764 01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:40,960 Speaker 3: Sometimes when players are asked for autographs, or sometimes when 1765 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,960 Speaker 3: players are asked for their time when they're when they're 1766 01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:47,040 Speaker 3: rude to people, it rubs me the wrong way also, 1767 01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:50,840 Speaker 3: But I'm also aware of the fact that this is 1768 01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:54,400 Speaker 3: a workplace environment for these players trying to get prepared 1769 01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 3: for their season, and they too, just like anybody, are 1770 01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:00,880 Speaker 3: susceptible to having good and bad days. 1771 01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:04,320 Speaker 2: Okay, I accept that. Now let's get to the Rams themselves, 1772 01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:10,040 Speaker 2: because you, during the course of last season insisted that 1773 01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:14,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two is an aberration. So I'm looking right 1774 01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:18,120 Speaker 2: now at the odds for the upcoming season for the Rams. 1775 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 2: Of the thirty two teams in the league, they are 1776 01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:26,000 Speaker 2: at plus seventy five hundred, which is twenty seventh in 1777 01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:28,720 Speaker 2: the league, and odds to win the Super Bowl and 1778 01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:32,480 Speaker 2: their victory over under is six and a half. Yeah, 1779 01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:35,519 Speaker 2: six and a half for a team that won the 1780 01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 2: Super Bowl just two years ago. So are you because 1781 01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:44,839 Speaker 2: I know you will wager. You talk about wagering every Saturday. 1782 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 2: I never miss it. Are they under selling this Rams team? 1783 01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,640 Speaker 2: Because these numbers say the Rams are literally going to 1784 01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,600 Speaker 2: be one of the worst teams in the NFL, I 1785 01:38:55,640 --> 01:39:00,759 Speaker 2: mean bad this year or with the four men players 1786 01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:03,280 Speaker 2: plus a coach that. Let's face it, a couple of 1787 01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,400 Speaker 2: years ago, was on top of the world, maybe turned 1788 01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:08,840 Speaker 2: down tens of millions of dollars to bowl coaching to 1789 01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:14,360 Speaker 2: take a cozy network broadcasting job. Are the Rams as 1790 01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:18,160 Speaker 2: bad as Vegas say they are going to be in 1791 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:19,160 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three? 1792 01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:24,280 Speaker 3: Look to me, the Rams aren't as bad as Vegas says. 1793 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,760 Speaker 3: If I if I were gonna lay money on one 1794 01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:29,800 Speaker 3: side of that bet over the hunder, I'm saying the 1795 01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:31,479 Speaker 3: Rams can win seven plus games. 1796 01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:34,960 Speaker 2: I mean seven and ten is a win for you. 1797 01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,240 Speaker 3: Well, well that's that's what I'm saying. Like, think about me, 1798 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:42,439 Speaker 3: think about what. Yeah, they were missing Matthew Stafford for 1799 01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:45,360 Speaker 3: a large chunk of the season, cup and Aaron Donald 1800 01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:48,760 Speaker 3: for the majority of the season as well. You know, 1801 01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:52,799 Speaker 3: you think about that and you say, Okay, the best 1802 01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,280 Speaker 3: defensive player in the league was unavailable for a big 1803 01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:59,320 Speaker 3: chunk of the season. The best offensive player, or a 1804 01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:01,920 Speaker 3: very least one of the best offensive players in the 1805 01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,880 Speaker 3: league was unavailable for the majority of the season. Your 1806 01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:10,000 Speaker 3: starting quarterback, who's a future Hall of Famer presumably was 1807 01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 3: missing in action as well due to injury. So how 1808 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:17,200 Speaker 3: on earth could you have a successful season. Now, they 1809 01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,800 Speaker 3: haven't done themselves any favors roster wise. This offseason. They 1810 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,160 Speaker 3: stuck to the draft picks they had that didn't forward 1811 01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,760 Speaker 3: sell any other draft picks to build a super team 1812 01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 3: like they had in years past. And this is no 1813 01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:32,920 Speaker 3: question a rebuild year. But we've said that before, and 1814 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:38,000 Speaker 3: we've seen teams battle their way through a rebuild year 1815 01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:41,519 Speaker 3: and have a really good season. Look at the Seattle 1816 01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:45,120 Speaker 3: Seahawks last year, everybody said rebuild year. They shipped off 1817 01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:48,080 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, he goes to Denver. They get draft picks. 1818 01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:51,840 Speaker 3: Gino Smith is their starting quarterback. He's in a quarterback 1819 01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:57,240 Speaker 3: competition over the offseason with Drew Locke. The Seattle Seahawks. 1820 01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:01,800 Speaker 3: We're a very very good team. So I'm not saying 1821 01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:04,160 Speaker 3: the Rams are gonna be world beaters. I'm not saying 1822 01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:06,000 Speaker 3: the Rams are going to win a Super Bowl because 1823 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:06,960 Speaker 3: I don't think they can. 1824 01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:10,080 Speaker 1: But could the Rams end up in the postseason. 1825 01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:14,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, you get some pretty good odds right now, 1826 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,640 Speaker 2: I mean some really good odds. But think about what 1827 01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:21,360 Speaker 2: they have. Sean McVeigh, Well, this is why I'm saying. 1828 01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:25,559 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean Vegas is really smart. Yeah, when 1829 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:28,320 Speaker 2: you when you lay a number that low on a 1830 01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:31,040 Speaker 2: team that's just a year removed from winning the Super Bowl, 1831 01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:35,639 Speaker 2: they must know something. Otherwise the whole world's gonna say 1832 01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,120 Speaker 2: six and a half. Geez, I'd go seven and ten. 1833 01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:43,559 Speaker 2: I'm a winner. I'm all over that. So I'm trying 1834 01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:47,080 Speaker 2: to figure out what it is that Vegas knows. I'm 1835 01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,879 Speaker 2: with you. I mean, if you can have Matthew Stafford 1836 01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:53,479 Speaker 2: healthy for the majority of the year, a healthy Aaron Donald, 1837 01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:59,679 Speaker 2: a healthy Cooper Cup, seems to me like I should 1838 01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:01,120 Speaker 2: win it at least seven games. 1839 01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:06,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I think that they're being harshly undervalued, 1840 01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:10,639 Speaker 3: especially when you think about where the Seattle Seahawks very 1841 01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:15,440 Speaker 3: solid season last last year, but the Saddle Seahawks are 1842 01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:19,800 Speaker 3: They're still building in the direction of their future. The 1843 01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:24,639 Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals have basically all but slammed the reset button down. 1844 01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,639 Speaker 3: We'll see if Kyler Murray has anything left in the tank. 1845 01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:29,960 Speaker 3: On the other side of that ACL injury suffered late 1846 01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:34,280 Speaker 3: last season. The San Francisco forty nine Ers are obviously 1847 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:37,240 Speaker 3: the class of the division, but they have a huge 1848 01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:40,360 Speaker 3: question mark. And the huge question mark is at the 1849 01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:44,400 Speaker 3: most important position in the NFL now they were able 1850 01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:46,839 Speaker 3: to survive the end of last season with Brock Party. 1851 01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:49,920 Speaker 3: But guess what now all thirty two teams and every 1852 01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:53,920 Speaker 3: team on their schedule has film on Brock Party. Yeah, 1853 01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:56,599 Speaker 3: you know, it's just going to be a different season now. 1854 01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:58,880 Speaker 3: I don't know if that means that Brock Party is 1855 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,559 Speaker 3: their starting quarter for the rest of the way. Maybe 1856 01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:03,720 Speaker 3: it's Sam Donald, but I mean that's who they have 1857 01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:06,160 Speaker 3: to choose from. It's Sam Donald or Brock Purty or 1858 01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:09,360 Speaker 3: Trey Lance who's been mia since he's been drafted. So 1859 01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,320 Speaker 3: that's a big area of concern for the forty nine ers. 1860 01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:16,720 Speaker 3: We'll see again. When you're missing two future Hall of 1861 01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:20,280 Speaker 3: Famers and arguably the best offensive player in the league 1862 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:24,080 Speaker 3: due to injury last season, then you're going to have 1863 01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,520 Speaker 3: a bad year. When you have as quiet an offseason 1864 01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,120 Speaker 3: as the Rams did, where they really had a volume 1865 01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:33,360 Speaker 3: draft where less need, traded down for more picks, and 1866 01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:36,320 Speaker 3: again had no first rounders. I think the first pick 1867 01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:39,680 Speaker 3: they had was seventy fifth. Overall, you're going to have 1868 01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:41,880 Speaker 3: one of those offseasons where Vegas takes a look at 1869 01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:44,759 Speaker 3: the numbers and says, yeah, we're gonna need a set 1870 01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:48,519 Speaker 3: an artificially low number to get people even interested in 1871 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:49,559 Speaker 3: wagering on the rams. 1872 01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:51,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want on the other side, I want to 1873 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,719 Speaker 2: talk about some of the teams that could emerge, because 1874 01:43:53,720 --> 01:44:00,160 Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a four team parlay a 1875 01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:04,120 Speaker 2: year ago at this time.

And they're like, Okay, what 2050 01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:27,480 Speaker 2: teams you got? Okay, I like to say the Pittsburgh Steelers, 2051 01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:38,840 Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions, and the Seattle Seahawks. 2052 01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:41,760 Speaker 2: Now they would laugh me away, saying, fine, if you 2053 01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:45,000 Speaker 2: want us to take your money, we'll do just that. Well, 2054 01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:47,719 Speaker 2: the fact is, going in at this time a year ago, 2055 01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:51,559 Speaker 2: the odds of any of those teams having a winning record. 2056 01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:56,800 Speaker 2: The Steelers with no Big Ben Well, Jacksonville coming off 2057 01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:59,200 Speaker 2: of season where they had the number one pick in the. 2058 01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:03,760 Speaker 3: Draft and it was Kenny Pickett who were potentially going 2059 01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:07,000 Speaker 3: to be your starter. Jacksonville with the first time not 2060 01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:09,720 Speaker 3: first time, but their first year with Peterson. 2061 01:52:09,479 --> 01:52:11,400 Speaker 2: Well, I mean they're coming up back to back years 2062 01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:13,320 Speaker 2: of having the number one overall pick. And then you 2063 01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:16,920 Speaker 2: have Detroit while the Lions speak for themselves, and Seattle 2064 01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:21,040 Speaker 2: a team that had just traded Russell Wilson away and 2065 01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:22,160 Speaker 2: had Drew Locke and. 2066 01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:24,080 Speaker 3: Drew long Smith competing for the quarterback. 2067 01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:27,720 Speaker 2: So the odds of any of those teams having a 2068 01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:32,200 Speaker 2: winning record was long. Yeah, to say the least. The 2069 01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:35,599 Speaker 2: idea of all four of those teams having a winning 2070 01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:38,080 Speaker 2: record kind of odds could I have gotten? 2071 01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:38,559 Speaker 1: What do you think? 2072 01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:39,559 Speaker 2: Thousand to one? 2073 01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:40,200 Speaker 8: Oh? 2074 01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:40,519 Speaker 3: Man? 2075 01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean maybe more than that. 2076 01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:44,920 Speaker 2: I mean parlaye all four of those teams. Meaning if 2077 01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:47,519 Speaker 2: any one of those teams doesn't have a winning record, 2078 01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:48,320 Speaker 2: I lose. 2079 01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:52,559 Speaker 3: I mean three thousand and one, easy, right, I mean yeah, 2080 01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:56,719 Speaker 3: like I'm that's a long odds future. Bet here. Here's 2081 01:52:56,760 --> 01:53:03,360 Speaker 3: the thing though, Okay, the NFL is very very difficult 2082 01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:04,839 Speaker 3: to predict for two reasons. 2083 01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:06,879 Speaker 1: One injury. 2084 01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:11,520 Speaker 3: It is a there is such a huge, huge percentage 2085 01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:15,000 Speaker 3: of stars that are unavailable at the end of the 2086 01:53:15,040 --> 01:53:17,720 Speaker 3: season compared to when the season starts. And it's a 2087 01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:20,880 Speaker 3: long season. Even though it's only seventeen games. You compare 2088 01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:24,400 Speaker 3: that to basketball or baseball, it seems much shorter. But 2089 01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:28,599 Speaker 3: it's a long season because it's a grind those weeks 2090 01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:33,080 Speaker 3: preparing for the next battle. I mean, nobody's playing one 2091 01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:35,200 Speaker 3: hundred percent healthy come the end of the season. And 2092 01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:37,920 Speaker 3: you could say that about other sports, but it's not 2093 01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:39,880 Speaker 3: the war of attrition that football is. 2094 01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:41,200 Speaker 1: So that's one part of it. 2095 01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:43,920 Speaker 3: The second part of it is the NFL is one 2096 01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:49,720 Speaker 3: of those games where teams and players mature and cultures 2097 01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:54,519 Speaker 3: grow at different rates. So Trevor Lawrence comes in, It 2098 01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:56,800 Speaker 3: doesn't look great with Urban Meyer, but then all of 2099 01:53:56,840 --> 01:53:59,519 Speaker 3: a sudden in year two with a quarterback whisper like 2100 01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:02,679 Speaker 3: Doug p and a good defense and some tools around 2101 01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:06,360 Speaker 3: the offense, and about the half half point of the 2102 01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:10,120 Speaker 3: football season, it started to click in and you could 2103 01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:13,120 Speaker 3: see how bright the future could be in Jacksonville. Same 2104 01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:17,559 Speaker 3: thing with the Detroit Lions. After an abysmal season with 2105 01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:20,680 Speaker 3: Dan Campbell, it felt like the culture was clicking in. 2106 01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:26,240 Speaker 3: Gino Smith, out of nowhere, out of nowhere, has finally 2107 01:54:26,280 --> 01:54:29,800 Speaker 3: figured the thing out at the starting quarterback level. 2108 01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:33,400 Speaker 1: You know. So when you look at a season's. 2109 01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,360 Speaker 3: Preview and then to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 2110 01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:40,440 Speaker 3: fourth leg of this parlay. The Pittsburgh Steelers, the only 2111 01:54:40,480 --> 01:54:43,240 Speaker 3: thing they had going for them was history, was the 2112 01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:46,000 Speaker 3: fact that Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season 2113 01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:49,880 Speaker 3: as a head coach. And outside of that, I mean, 2114 01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:53,320 Speaker 3: it looked bleak. They had a bad offensive system a 2115 01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:56,000 Speaker 3: year ago with Ben Roethlisberger, and frankly, they still had 2116 01:54:56,040 --> 01:55:00,360 Speaker 3: a pretty bad offensive system this year with their with 2117 01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:04,720 Speaker 3: Matt Canada as the ROC, Kenny Pickett looked like he 2118 01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:09,320 Speaker 3: was coming in and surprising people with his athleticism. He 2119 01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:12,480 Speaker 3: was winning games with the Pittsburgh Steelers based on sheer will. 2120 01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:18,120 Speaker 3: The defense overplayed expectations, missing their star in what coming 2121 01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:20,920 Speaker 3: off that edge. I mean it really, it really was 2122 01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:24,440 Speaker 3: an odd start to the season for the Steelers, but 2123 01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:27,560 Speaker 3: they were able to dismount and land with nine wins, 2124 01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:28,400 Speaker 3: which was shocking. 2125 01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:30,640 Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this. How about if I 2126 01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:33,240 Speaker 2: walked to the same window, They're like, wow, you were 2127 01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:36,080 Speaker 2: unreal last year. With that, I said, I like to 2128 01:55:36,120 --> 01:55:39,640 Speaker 2: do another four team parlay. I like to take the Steelers, 2129 01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:44,120 Speaker 2: the Jaguars, the Lions, and the Seahawks, and I want 2130 01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:48,839 Speaker 2: to do a parlay that they all have losing records 2131 01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:50,640 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. 2132 01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:51,600 Speaker 1: The same teams, the. 2133 01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:54,480 Speaker 2: Same four teams that all finished the year at nine 2134 01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:59,320 Speaker 2: and eight.

We'll get to those odds. 2136 01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:10,080 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports. Sunday. Monsie says three hour concert. 2137 01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:14,040 Speaker 2: She would utter every word in unison with Taylor Swift 2138 01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:16,360 Speaker 2: for any song that she sings.

I 2148 01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:40,960 Speaker 3: mean it puts me in the best moves. 2149 01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:43,000 Speaker 2: This is her biggest hit, right I was maybe bad? 2150 01:56:43,200 --> 01:56:43,640 Speaker 3: Yeah bad. 2151 01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:46,680 Speaker 9: I mean, she has a lot of big I don't know. 2152 01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,040 Speaker 8: I'm not but this is like a like a an 2153 01:56:49,120 --> 01:56:50,800 Speaker 8: uppity song to get you going. 2154 01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,240 Speaker 2: Sure yeah, oh shait yeah yeah. 2155 01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:55,080 Speaker 9: You know what I mean, But it's not my favorite. 2156 01:56:55,560 --> 01:56:59,400 Speaker 2: Steve Hartman and Rich Arnberger, Fox Sports Sunday, we are 2157 01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:02,280 Speaker 2: live from the high IRAQ dot Com studios. All right, 2158 01:57:02,320 --> 01:57:05,440 Speaker 2: so I threw a parlay out at you before break 2159 01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:07,520 Speaker 2: is taking the four teams that I won all that 2160 01:57:07,680 --> 01:57:13,040 Speaker 2: money with a year ago. When I said that the Steelers, Jaguars, Lions, 2161 01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:16,760 Speaker 2: and Seahawks would all have winning records. Now I'm gonna 2162 01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:22,000 Speaker 2: turn it around, say they all have losing records in 2163 01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:23,840 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. What do you think of that? 2164 01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:29,280 Speaker 3: Well, when you look at the odds and win totals 2165 01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:33,600 Speaker 3: for these teams, Pittsburgh and Seattle are at eight and 2166 01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:37,360 Speaker 3: a half, right, Detroit and Jacksonville are at nine and 2167 01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:37,680 Speaker 3: a half. 2168 01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:39,400 Speaker 2: So they're right there. 2169 01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:43,680 Speaker 3: You're deciding between whether or not you want to see 2170 01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:46,760 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh or Seattle have a winning season or not. 2171 01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:49,240 Speaker 1: They put them right on that line. 2172 01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:51,960 Speaker 2: I'm saying they all win eight or less games. 2173 01:57:52,160 --> 01:57:54,920 Speaker 3: Well, so the fact of the matter is you would 2174 01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:59,120 Speaker 3: have you would have longer odds last year to pick 2175 01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:02,400 Speaker 3: them as winners than this year to pick them as losers. 2176 01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:03,840 Speaker 3: Is essentially what I'm saying. 2177 01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:05,400 Speaker 2: All right, let me ask you this, So to one 2178 01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:06,480 Speaker 2: of those teams. 2179 01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:08,960 Speaker 3: At plus two thousands something like that, for all four 2180 01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:10,720 Speaker 3: to have losing seasons. 2181 01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:14,080 Speaker 2: I mean really four tremendous coaching jobs. Yeah, to get 2182 01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:16,400 Speaker 2: those teams to nine and eight a year ago. All right, So, 2183 01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:20,240 Speaker 2: if you were to rank those teams in terms of 2184 01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:24,800 Speaker 2: what they'll do in twenty twenty three, which team is 2185 01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:27,880 Speaker 2: the most likely to have? Well, which team would have 2186 01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:30,480 Speaker 2: the most wins. Which team will have the least wins 2187 01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:35,480 Speaker 2: this year? Between the Steelers, Jaguars, Lions, and Seahawks. 2188 01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:40,480 Speaker 3: Based on or division and where the division's presumably heading, 2189 01:58:40,520 --> 01:58:44,160 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh will have the worst season and Jacksonville will have 2190 01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:46,400 Speaker 3: the best. Yeah, yeah, I mean when you look around 2191 01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:49,480 Speaker 3: the AFC South, it looks very winnable, and Jacksonville's on 2192 01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:53,680 Speaker 3: the right upward trend with Trevor Lawrence being the quarterback 2193 01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:55,800 Speaker 3: of the next decade for them, you would assume, and 2194 01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:59,520 Speaker 3: then there's still huge question marks a quarterback. 2195 01:58:59,680 --> 01:59:03,080 Speaker 2: Life could add the best record. I mean that NFC North. 2196 01:59:02,960 --> 01:59:04,080 Speaker 3: That's very winnable too. 2197 01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2198 01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:07,960 Speaker 3: I just look Jared Goff. We've seen a lot of 2199 01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:12,280 Speaker 3: Jared Goff. We've seen one season that looks like it 2200 01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:13,320 Speaker 3: did last year. 2201 01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:17,720 Speaker 2: Well, he had two great seasons with the Rams. He 2202 01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:21,040 Speaker 2: also had top great seasons. Well, he did have Todd 2203 01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:23,680 Speaker 2: Gurley at his peak, you're right, Yeah, and when Todd 2204 01:59:23,720 --> 01:59:26,120 Speaker 2: Gurley suddenly went down, yeah, he wasn't as good. 2205 01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:27,320 Speaker 1: Now we'll see what happens. 2206 01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:31,240 Speaker 3: Because the Detroit Lions just got a first round running 2207 01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:34,520 Speaker 3: back out of Alabama who they're high on. So life 2208 01:59:34,520 --> 01:59:37,640 Speaker 3: could get easy for Jared Goff. And again it was 2209 01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:41,800 Speaker 3: great last year. He looked great last year, performed extremely well. 2210 01:59:42,080 --> 01:59:44,600 Speaker 3: But I'm a big fan of what Trevor Lawrence is 2211 01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:47,480 Speaker 3: and what he could be in this NFL, in this league. 2212 01:59:47,640 --> 01:59:49,840 Speaker 3: And I do think that the AFC South is a, 2213 01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:54,240 Speaker 3: I mean, a convincibly weaker division than even the NFC North. 2214 01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:57,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's some divisions out there, the NFC South, 2215 01:59:57,680 --> 02:00:01,480 Speaker 2: which of course had four losing teams year ago, is 2216 02:00:01,480 --> 02:00:05,680 Speaker 2: that gonna be any better this year? Not looking good. 2217 02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:10,600 Speaker 2: AFC South, NFC North, some pretty pretty slim pickings in 2218 02:00:10,640 --> 02:00:12,640 Speaker 2: those divisions. By the way, on the other side, we 2219 02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:19,480 Speaker 2: have a monumental programming note. Yeah, a monumental programming note. 2220 02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:23,560 Speaker 2: Keep it here. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

Yes, 2246 02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:16,720 Speaker 3: thought that it was one of the best best shows 2247 02:02:16,760 --> 02:02:21,280 Speaker 3: on television last year. Second, I thought that you're I 2248 02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:23,360 Speaker 3: didn't get enough Steve Hartman last night. 2249 02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:24,800 Speaker 2: You're going to get more in season two. 2250 02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:25,520 Speaker 3: So there you have it. 2251 02:02:25,640 --> 02:02:31,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, I for the record, Yeah, as you know, Rich, 2252 02:02:32,520 --> 02:02:36,880 Speaker 2: in December, as they were beginning to shoot season two. 2253 02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:40,320 Speaker 2: I get a phone call from the producers about appearing 2254 02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:42,320 Speaker 2: in an episode. I said, Hey, I'm ready to go 2255 02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:45,600 Speaker 2: down to the recording studio and they're like, no, we 2256 02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:49,800 Speaker 2: want to put you on camera. And I'm like what. 2257 02:02:51,440 --> 02:02:56,920 Speaker 2: So I went down with my broadcast partner, my co host, 2258 02:02:57,000 --> 02:03:02,280 Speaker 2: over at KTLA in Los Angeles to shoot a scene 2259 02:03:04,240 --> 02:03:07,480 Speaker 2: and I, you know, I actually I've actually been on 2260 02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:11,680 Speaker 2: television shows before, but this just seemed next level. Yeah, 2261 02:03:11,720 --> 02:03:13,920 Speaker 2: you know it. It was big time down at Warner 2262 02:03:13,960 --> 02:03:18,920 Speaker 2: Brothers and I go down there for hair, makeup, and wardrobe. 2263 02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:22,920 Speaker 2: I walked into the trailer for the hair lady. I 2264 02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:25,200 Speaker 2: walked in and she looked at me and she's like, Wow, 2265 02:03:25,240 --> 02:03:28,040 Speaker 2: we don't have to do anything with your hair. I mean, 2266 02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:30,440 Speaker 2: we're shooting someday. It's supposed to take place in nineteen 2267 02:03:30,520 --> 02:03:33,200 Speaker 2: eighty four, and you were spot on. I mean, it's 2268 02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:37,880 Speaker 2: like you got eighty four hair. Unfortunately, though, I did 2269 02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:41,440 Speaker 2: come back when we shot the scene on Monday the 2270 02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:44,720 Speaker 2: following Monday, and she got me in the chair and 2271 02:03:44,760 --> 02:03:46,920 Speaker 2: she just wanted to put a lot of product in 2272 02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:48,600 Speaker 2: my hair. This is the days in the ages, you 2273 02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:50,800 Speaker 2: put a lot of stuff and then blow it out 2274 02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:54,080 Speaker 2: to puff out your hair, of course, and which she did. 2275 02:03:54,160 --> 02:03:56,040 Speaker 2: I'm like, you really want me to go on camera 2276 02:03:56,120 --> 02:03:59,360 Speaker 2: looking like this? So anyway, long story short, we shot 2277 02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:04,680 Speaker 2: the scene, took forever. Memorizing lines proved to be a 2278 02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:10,080 Speaker 2: challenge for at least one of us anyway, so we 2279 02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:12,520 Speaker 2: assumed that this scene's going to be there. And then 2280 02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,240 Speaker 2: we came back to actually do some audio scenes, like 2281 02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:18,040 Speaker 2: you know again doing sports talk radio. And one of 2282 02:04:18,080 --> 02:04:22,000 Speaker 2: the scenes that we did audio one was very reminiscent 2283 02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:24,400 Speaker 2: because we can see the screen because everything obviously has 2284 02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:26,840 Speaker 2: got to sync up, and it was the scene that 2285 02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:33,200 Speaker 2: we shot without us, So I think I assume that 2286 02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:36,160 Speaker 2: our on screen time hit the cutting room floor. 2287 02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:40,320 Speaker 3: Okay, well, so your voice is going to be in 2288 02:04:40,360 --> 02:04:42,839 Speaker 3: the scene, just not your physical presence, right. 2289 02:04:42,680 --> 02:04:45,400 Speaker 2: And then my partner seemed to be a little upset 2290 02:04:45,400 --> 02:04:48,280 Speaker 2: about this possibility, and I asked them this question, I go, 2291 02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:50,160 Speaker 2: did you did you see the movie? 2292 02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:50,600 Speaker 3: E T? 2293 02:04:51,640 --> 02:04:52,560 Speaker 2: Who hasn't seen ET? 2294 02:04:52,800 --> 02:04:52,960 Speaker 7: Right? 2295 02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:58,280 Speaker 2: And do you remember how great Harrison Ford was in ET? 2296 02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:02,120 Speaker 2: And you're like, Hare's Ford and E T. Harrison Ford 2297 02:05:02,200 --> 02:05:05,120 Speaker 2: wasn't an ET. Well he could have been, and I'll 2298 02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:07,440 Speaker 2: tell you why. So he had just done Raiders of 2299 02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:10,800 Speaker 2: the Lost Arc with Steven Spielberg, pretty big hit coming 2300 02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:13,320 Speaker 2: on the heels of his Star Wars movies. In other words, 2301 02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:16,920 Speaker 2: Harrison Ford is the number one star in Hollywood. At 2302 02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:22,280 Speaker 2: that point, Spielberg's next movie is et and Harrison Ford said, Hey, Steven, 2303 02:05:22,600 --> 02:05:26,960 Speaker 2: I'd love to maybe get a little cameo. Spielbord said great. 2304 02:05:27,440 --> 02:05:31,320 Speaker 2: They shot a scene where Harrison Ford played a teacher 2305 02:05:31,560 --> 02:05:34,080 Speaker 2: in a classroom for the boy that was the star 2306 02:05:34,160 --> 02:05:38,720 Speaker 2: of the movie. You didn't see it because Spielberg and 2307 02:05:38,840 --> 02:05:42,240 Speaker 2: editing the movie said, eh, didn't really fit. He literally 2308 02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:44,880 Speaker 2: cuts out the number one star in Hollywood out of 2309 02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:45,360 Speaker 2: his movie. 2310 02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:48,360 Speaker 1: Hey, then's the break and it happens all the time. 2311 02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:53,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, in your acting career, you and Harrison Ford have 2312 02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:54,160 Speaker 3: a lot more in common. 2313 02:05:54,320 --> 02:05:56,320 Speaker 2: This is what I was telling about partner. I said, 2314 02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:58,840 Speaker 2: Now you can say I'm like Harrison Ford, just like him, 2315 02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:02,080 Speaker 2: just like him. It is a fun show. I know 2316 02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:04,960 Speaker 2: that Jerry West, who is my idol by the way, 2317 02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:08,880 Speaker 2: is very upset about the way he has been portrayed 2318 02:06:09,680 --> 02:06:13,680 Speaker 2: in this show. And all I can say for Jerry is, unfortunately, 2319 02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:15,680 Speaker 2: you're a public figure, and they can pretty much do 2320 02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:19,240 Speaker 2: whatever they want. Now he's been threatening to take the 2321 02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:22,640 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. What did you like about Season one? Is 2322 02:06:22,800 --> 02:06:23,400 Speaker 2: like any. 2323 02:06:24,760 --> 02:06:27,560 Speaker 3: Actually, I love the portrayal of Jerry West, you know, 2324 02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:30,640 Speaker 3: sort of the conflicted genius. 2325 02:06:30,240 --> 02:06:33,200 Speaker 2: The over the top trophies windows. 2326 02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:38,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, because look, you knew it must be a hyperbolic representation. 2327 02:06:39,400 --> 02:06:42,040 Speaker 3: But I thought the character, or the portrayal of the 2328 02:06:42,160 --> 02:06:48,800 Speaker 3: character made him a sympathetic figure. Like you, you wanted 2329 02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:51,160 Speaker 3: a root for that guy, because even though he was 2330 02:06:52,600 --> 02:06:58,080 Speaker 3: conflicted and and imperfect, there was something, there was something 2331 02:06:58,080 --> 02:07:01,400 Speaker 3: about him that you wanted to root for. Desperate. I 2332 02:07:01,480 --> 02:07:04,440 Speaker 3: loved h I loved the way or uh John c 2333 02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:08,120 Speaker 3: Ryles portrayal portrayal of Jerry Buss. Yes, I thought that 2334 02:07:08,320 --> 02:07:11,200 Speaker 3: was fantastic. I love the fact that they painted the 2335 02:07:11,240 --> 02:07:16,680 Speaker 3: picture of this, you know, magnificent showman that Jerry Buss was. 2336 02:07:16,800 --> 02:07:19,840 Speaker 3: But also how difficult it is to try to be 2337 02:07:19,880 --> 02:07:23,400 Speaker 3: a father to a daughter during this time period of 2338 02:07:23,440 --> 02:07:27,360 Speaker 3: his life. Uh, and then also how difficult it was 2339 02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:30,919 Speaker 3: to be a son to a mother who was losing 2340 02:07:30,960 --> 02:07:33,120 Speaker 3: her grip. And yeah, I mean. 2341 02:07:33,240 --> 02:07:34,520 Speaker 2: Sally Field was outstanding. 2342 02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:38,160 Speaker 3: Sally Field was outstanding as the matriarch of the Buss family. 2343 02:07:38,200 --> 02:07:38,480 Speaker 1: It was. 2344 02:07:38,880 --> 02:07:42,520 Speaker 3: It was just a very well acted, well conceived, well 2345 02:07:42,560 --> 02:07:44,640 Speaker 3: written show and I can't wait for a season two. 2346 02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:46,520 Speaker 2: By the way, I was sitting here with our buddy 2347 02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:49,200 Speaker 2: Carrie Rhodes doing the show a couple of weeks ago, 2348 02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:52,280 Speaker 2: and I was mentioning this, you know scene that I 2349 02:07:52,320 --> 02:07:55,919 Speaker 2: did with the actor Quincy Isaiah who plays Magic Johnson 2350 02:07:55,960 --> 02:08:01,760 Speaker 2: in this series, and Carrie had a second callback for 2351 02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:05,800 Speaker 2: that role. No way, Yeah, I mean Carry's an actor, right, Yeah, 2352 02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:10,440 Speaker 2: and so he actually got a second callback for the 2353 02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:13,120 Speaker 2: role of Magic Johnson in this Wow. 2354 02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:15,720 Speaker 3: I didn't know that. Yes, Yeah, Kerry and I played 2355 02:08:15,760 --> 02:08:20,400 Speaker 3: together in Arizona. Yes, he was one of my favorite 2356 02:08:20,400 --> 02:08:23,880 Speaker 3: guys because he's super duper smart, and you knew that 2357 02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:27,200 Speaker 3: he was going to do something beyond football after he 2358 02:08:27,280 --> 02:08:29,880 Speaker 3: was like, you know, I had no idea he was 2359 02:08:29,920 --> 02:08:32,040 Speaker 3: a talented actor, but I've seen some of his work 2360 02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:35,840 Speaker 3: and he is and and radio is perfect for him because, 2361 02:08:35,880 --> 02:08:38,000 Speaker 3: like I said, he's a thoughtful guy. And so I'm 2362 02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:41,480 Speaker 3: glad to see that he's in the Fox Sports Radio galaxy. 2363 02:08:41,640 --> 02:08:44,280 Speaker 3: And I hope you're not teaching him too many bad habits. 2364 02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:45,320 Speaker 1: Yes, that's all. 2365 02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, So check it out on HBO that is Winning 2366 02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:52,880 Speaker 2: time and see if you can hear my voice. Yeah, 2367 02:08:53,120 --> 02:08:56,560 Speaker 2: they amplify it a little bit because everything I say, 2368 02:08:56,680 --> 02:08:58,720 Speaker 2: it's funny. Every time they hand me one of the 2369 02:08:58,760 --> 02:09:02,000 Speaker 2: scripts I go to. I ever say anything positive about 2370 02:09:02,320 --> 02:09:05,800 Speaker 2: any of these people, it's always I'm ripping Magic, I'm 2371 02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:10,080 Speaker 2: ripping Kareem, I'm ripping Riley, I'm ripping Boss. Is there ever? 2372 02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:10,680 Speaker 3: They go? 2373 02:09:11,120 --> 02:09:15,800 Speaker 2: Just read the script, Okay, just read the script? All right? 2374 02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:19,640 Speaker 2: So all right, So I wanted to get back to 2375 02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:21,760 Speaker 2: the NFL for a second here because you mentioned this 2376 02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:27,600 Speaker 2: a little bit earlier, the perceived predicament facing the San 2377 02:09:27,600 --> 02:09:31,040 Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers as far as the quarterback position 2378 02:09:31,120 --> 02:09:34,800 Speaker 2: is concerned. I think that if you are being objective here, 2379 02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:40,280 Speaker 2: if you take the quarterback out of the equation, which 2380 02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:42,680 Speaker 2: is a big if, but if you take the quarterback 2381 02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:46,400 Speaker 2: out of the equation, I don't think there is a 2382 02:09:46,440 --> 02:09:51,040 Speaker 2: better roster anywhere in the NFL than the San Francisco 2383 02:09:51,080 --> 02:09:54,920 Speaker 2: forty nine ers on both sides of the football. I mean, 2384 02:09:54,960 --> 02:09:59,640 Speaker 2: they've got skill guys that are upper echelon. They have 2385 02:09:59,800 --> 02:10:03,680 Speaker 2: d defensive players that are upper echelon. If you'd take 2386 02:10:03,840 --> 02:10:08,640 Speaker 2: quarterback out, whether it's the Chiefs, the Bills, the Eagles, 2387 02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:11,960 Speaker 2: I think the forty nine ers have the best roster 2388 02:10:12,400 --> 02:10:13,960 Speaker 2: save quarterback in the NFL. 2389 02:10:14,920 --> 02:10:19,120 Speaker 3: Uh Okay, outside the quarterback position, I can see that argument. 2390 02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:22,120 Speaker 3: But the quarterback is the most important I understand that 2391 02:10:22,360 --> 02:10:25,480 Speaker 3: in the league, and so the Philadelphia Eagles have the 2392 02:10:26,040 --> 02:10:30,960 Speaker 3: top rated roster. In my opinion, Jalen Hurts outperformed Patrick 2393 02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,880 Speaker 3: Mahomes in the Super Bowl. I mean there is no 2394 02:10:34,080 --> 02:10:37,360 Speaker 3: question about it. Okay, go back and look at the statistics. 2395 02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:39,640 Speaker 3: Go back and look at the games they both played. Now, 2396 02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:42,120 Speaker 3: don't don't get me drop the ball. 2397 02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:44,800 Speaker 2: He handed them a touchdown that proved to be the 2398 02:10:44,800 --> 02:10:46,880 Speaker 2: difference in the game. You know that I am a 2399 02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:50,840 Speaker 2: huge and I was in some bandwagon Hurts fan. You 2400 02:10:50,920 --> 02:10:53,840 Speaker 2: know that I was a Hurts fan from the get game. 2401 02:10:53,920 --> 02:10:56,680 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that he didn't have a fatal flaw, 2402 02:10:57,160 --> 02:10:59,720 Speaker 3: a terrible moment in that game, which he did. 2403 02:10:59,560 --> 02:11:01,120 Speaker 2: Which I'll cost him the game. 2404 02:11:01,600 --> 02:11:04,520 Speaker 3: But if you look at the way he was able 2405 02:11:04,560 --> 02:11:06,840 Speaker 3: to play when all the lights were on, yea, it 2406 02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:09,760 Speaker 3: just proves to you two things. One what we saw 2407 02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:12,680 Speaker 3: in college wasn't a fluke. He's a champion and he 2408 02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,080 Speaker 3: can play at a champion level at this level. 2409 02:11:15,640 --> 02:11:18,640 Speaker 1: And two, it's it's. 2410 02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:22,320 Speaker 3: Only just the beginning, Like he's gotten better every season 2411 02:11:22,720 --> 02:11:25,280 Speaker 3: and the fact that now he has that performance under 2412 02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:28,960 Speaker 3: his belt, it's not like it's gonna be a great regression. 2413 02:11:29,400 --> 02:11:33,200 Speaker 3: They've only gotten better on offense in terms of talent acquisition, right, 2414 02:11:33,320 --> 02:11:36,640 Speaker 3: They've only gotten better on defense in terms of talent acquisition. 2415 02:11:37,120 --> 02:11:40,480 Speaker 3: This roster improved over this offseason, and they were a 2416 02:11:40,520 --> 02:11:45,080 Speaker 3: super Bowl team last year. So the Philadelphia Eagles, I 2417 02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:48,360 Speaker 3: mean again, if you want to exclude the quarterback position, 2418 02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:52,440 Speaker 3: I'll I'll give the edge to the San Francisco forty 2419 02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:53,960 Speaker 3: nine ers, but barely. 2420 02:11:54,160 --> 02:11:58,120 Speaker 2: Okay, but you got Kyle Shanahan. And by the way, 2421 02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:04,840 Speaker 2: this whole Kyle Shanahan trumpeting the incredible skill set of 2422 02:12:04,880 --> 02:12:10,720 Speaker 2: Brock Purty is pretty incredible. And the reason that they 2423 02:12:11,440 --> 02:12:13,840 Speaker 2: went a different direction to quarterback a couple of years 2424 02:12:13,880 --> 02:12:19,200 Speaker 2: ago in the draft was specifically because Kyle Shanahan felt 2425 02:12:19,240 --> 02:12:21,840 Speaker 2: he was limited with Jimmy Garoppolo and what he could 2426 02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:24,480 Speaker 2: do with his offense, Like I need I need a 2427 02:12:24,560 --> 02:12:27,520 Speaker 2: quarterback with a greater skill set so I can expand 2428 02:12:27,600 --> 02:12:33,160 Speaker 2: my offense. And now all of a sudden he is maintaining, 2429 02:12:33,440 --> 02:12:36,400 Speaker 2: like you're just talking about Jalen Hurts is the real deal. 2430 02:12:36,560 --> 02:12:39,040 Speaker 2: I one hundred percent agree. I don't have any concerns 2431 02:12:39,040 --> 02:12:42,440 Speaker 2: about You know, my argument for years before Hurts was 2432 02:12:42,480 --> 02:12:45,080 Speaker 2: given that opportunity is, remember we used to bring people on. 2433 02:12:45,160 --> 02:12:48,200 Speaker 2: I used to say, what is the ceiling on Jalen Hurts? 2434 02:12:48,440 --> 02:12:50,880 Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure this out. What is the what's 2435 02:12:50,880 --> 02:12:53,400 Speaker 2: the ceiling out a guy like Hurts? Everyone was wrong 2436 02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:56,880 Speaker 2: the way underestimated his ceiling. Oh, of course, But I 2437 02:12:56,880 --> 02:13:02,080 Speaker 2: mean with Brock Purty, is he I mean when when 2438 02:13:02,160 --> 02:13:05,760 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan says he is the real deal, that what 2439 02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:09,000 Speaker 2: we saw a year ago is not a fluke, assuming 2440 02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:10,960 Speaker 2: that he's one hundred percent healthy, Do you buy that? 2441 02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:13,880 Speaker 1: Well, I can buy it. 2442 02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:14,520 Speaker 3: I don't. 2443 02:13:15,080 --> 02:13:15,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. 2444 02:13:15,880 --> 02:13:19,960 Speaker 3: I'm not. I wouldn't put it in the category of 2445 02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:25,280 Speaker 3: inconceivable that he could be a great quarterback because we've 2446 02:13:25,320 --> 02:13:29,200 Speaker 3: seen a sixth rounder become the greatest quarterback of all times, 2447 02:13:29,240 --> 02:13:31,960 Speaker 3: so it's not beyond me to imagine that a seventh 2448 02:13:32,040 --> 02:13:33,320 Speaker 3: rounder could do the same thing. 2449 02:13:33,440 --> 02:13:35,800 Speaker 1: Potentially, But what. 2450 02:13:35,680 --> 02:13:39,800 Speaker 3: We saw was brock Purty gifted a team and the 2451 02:13:40,080 --> 02:13:43,520 Speaker 3: large majority of a season in preparation to play with 2452 02:13:43,600 --> 02:13:46,480 Speaker 3: these teammates of his on the forty nine ers starting 2453 02:13:46,520 --> 02:13:54,120 Speaker 3: offense that that was already full of inertia heading toward 2454 02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:57,800 Speaker 3: a playoff bound season, and he just didn't screw it up. 2455 02:13:57,920 --> 02:14:01,720 Speaker 3: Now as he progressed the final games of the season, 2456 02:14:01,840 --> 02:14:05,200 Speaker 3: he made some plays out arguably won them games down 2457 02:14:05,240 --> 02:14:07,840 Speaker 3: the stretch. But I don't think the pressure was ever 2458 02:14:07,960 --> 02:14:10,640 Speaker 3: on brock Party. I don't think the pressure was ever 2459 02:14:10,680 --> 02:14:13,240 Speaker 3: on brock Party. He was just filling in. He was 2460 02:14:13,360 --> 02:14:17,600 Speaker 3: this guy who, gosh, just keep the wheels on, yes, right, yeah, 2461 02:14:17,640 --> 02:14:19,560 Speaker 3: And so he was able to do that. He kept 2462 02:14:19,600 --> 02:14:22,240 Speaker 3: the wheels on. And then after that it was boyle boy, 2463 02:14:22,320 --> 02:14:26,320 Speaker 3: he's impressive. Can he take this team deep into the postseason? 2464 02:14:26,760 --> 02:14:27,400 Speaker 3: And he did. 2465 02:14:27,920 --> 02:14:28,640 Speaker 1: And then the. 2466 02:14:28,600 --> 02:14:32,280 Speaker 3: Thought was, my goodness, is brock Purty gonna win us 2467 02:14:32,280 --> 02:14:33,000 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl? 2468 02:14:33,200 --> 02:14:37,520 Speaker 1: And the answer, look, it's no, but we can make He. 2469 02:14:37,440 --> 02:14:40,760 Speaker 3: Got hurt and he got hurt bad, so there's there's 2470 02:14:40,800 --> 02:14:43,640 Speaker 3: no there's no way to tell for sure what would 2471 02:14:43,680 --> 02:14:47,360 Speaker 3: have happened if he didn't. But but the answer was 2472 02:14:47,440 --> 02:14:51,960 Speaker 3: essentially no, now the pressure's on. Look, the NFL is 2473 02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:56,760 Speaker 3: a cauldron of superstars, and not only at the field level. 2474 02:14:56,520 --> 02:14:58,400 Speaker 1: But also at the coaching level. 2475 02:14:58,840 --> 02:15:01,400 Speaker 3: You have the best in the bright is working day 2476 02:15:01,400 --> 02:15:03,560 Speaker 3: and night to try to take you apart. 2477 02:15:04,480 --> 02:15:05,560 Speaker 1: And now the pressure's on. 2478 02:15:05,920 --> 02:15:09,360 Speaker 3: Now. Everybody saw how you finished the season last year, 2479 02:15:09,560 --> 02:15:12,960 Speaker 3: and now the target is squarely on your back. Say 2480 02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:16,160 Speaker 3: what you will about Jimmy Garoppolo, over the course of 2481 02:15:16,160 --> 02:15:18,640 Speaker 3: his time as a San Francisco forty nine Ers quarterback, 2482 02:15:18,960 --> 02:15:22,680 Speaker 3: it appeared that he could handle the pressure to a point. Now, 2483 02:15:22,720 --> 02:15:26,200 Speaker 3: he didn't get them over that ledge to become a 2484 02:15:26,240 --> 02:15:29,560 Speaker 3: super Bowl team during the John Lynch Kyle Shanahan era 2485 02:15:29,720 --> 02:15:31,760 Speaker 3: so far, and that's the reason why they've moved off 2486 02:15:31,760 --> 02:15:34,520 Speaker 3: of Jimmy Garoppolo. They tried to draft Trey Lance and 2487 02:15:34,560 --> 02:15:36,800 Speaker 3: now it looks like it's going to be Brock's team 2488 02:15:36,840 --> 02:15:40,240 Speaker 3: at least at first. But I'm telling you right now, 2489 02:15:40,680 --> 02:15:43,040 Speaker 3: the pressure is on in a big way. And this 2490 02:15:43,120 --> 02:15:45,240 Speaker 3: is where the rubber meets the road. This is where 2491 02:15:45,240 --> 02:15:47,200 Speaker 3: we find out whether or not he can play in 2492 02:15:47,240 --> 02:15:47,800 Speaker 3: this league. 2493 02:15:48,320 --> 02:15:52,680 Speaker 2: By the way, some of the feedback that we've been 2494 02:15:52,680 --> 02:15:54,720 Speaker 2: getting out of forty nine Ers camp as far as 2495 02:15:54,800 --> 02:15:59,880 Speaker 2: Trey Lance and Sam Darnold is concerned. Not great, Yeah, 2496 02:16:00,120 --> 02:16:03,280 Speaker 2: not great in fact, Sam Donald, Yeah, I keep thinking 2497 02:16:03,280 --> 02:16:06,280 Speaker 2: you're telling me Sam Darnold doesn't have a skill set 2498 02:16:06,320 --> 02:16:09,920 Speaker 2: of a brock Party. He may be better athlete, but 2499 02:16:10,040 --> 02:16:13,400 Speaker 2: he's not a better quarterback. He's not doing well in 2500 02:16:13,480 --> 02:16:16,160 Speaker 2: camp right now with the forty nine ers, and Trey 2501 02:16:16,240 --> 02:16:19,920 Speaker 2: Lance is okay, not much better than that. All right, 2502 02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:22,120 Speaker 2: We got much more NFL news to get to this 2503 02:16:22,800 --> 02:16:29,360 Speaker 2: his Fox Sports Sunday.

Once again, we're 2517 02:17:13,360 --> 02:17:16,120 Speaker 2: live from the Tirak dot com studios. I want to 2518 02:17:16,120 --> 02:17:18,200 Speaker 2: make a quick note here, Rich. I don't know if 2519 02:17:18,200 --> 02:17:20,119 Speaker 2: you got to see any of the Hall of Fame 2520 02:17:20,200 --> 02:17:24,920 Speaker 2: speeches yesterday, and I know it just you cringe every 2521 02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:27,040 Speaker 2: time I bring up Hall of Fame. But there were 2522 02:17:27,120 --> 02:17:32,560 Speaker 2: two highlights for me yesterday. One was the introduction of 2523 02:17:32,600 --> 02:17:33,240 Speaker 2: Marv Levy. 2524 02:17:33,240 --> 02:17:33,440 Speaker 3: There. 2525 02:17:34,959 --> 02:17:38,800 Speaker 2: Marv Levy on Thursday celebrated his ninety eighth birthday. 2526 02:17:39,120 --> 02:17:39,600 Speaker 3: Wow. 2527 02:17:40,120 --> 02:17:42,840 Speaker 2: To give you a little perspective on that one, he 2528 02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:47,640 Speaker 2: was born Calvin Coolidge was the president, and all movies 2529 02:17:47,640 --> 02:17:53,080 Speaker 2: were still silent. There had not been a sound movie yet, 2530 02:17:54,120 --> 02:17:57,400 Speaker 2: So that's when Marv Levy was born in nineteen twenty five. 2531 02:17:59,280 --> 02:18:01,680 Speaker 2: But not only is he ninety eight, but he is 2532 02:18:01,840 --> 02:18:05,279 Speaker 2: like a spry ninety eight, Like he was just sitting 2533 02:18:05,280 --> 02:18:07,680 Speaker 2: with the other Hall of famers and he stood up, 2534 02:18:07,760 --> 02:18:11,640 Speaker 2: waved to the people, apparently was interacting with everybody just 2535 02:18:11,760 --> 02:18:16,520 Speaker 2: like another day at age ninety eight. So God bless 2536 02:18:16,560 --> 02:18:19,000 Speaker 2: this man. I mean, that is an example. I don't 2537 02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:21,720 Speaker 2: know what he did or how he's done it, but 2538 02:18:22,080 --> 02:18:24,920 Speaker 2: he is very much alive and well at age ninety eight. 2539 02:18:24,959 --> 02:18:25,920 Speaker 2: So good from Marv Levy. 2540 02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:29,720 Speaker 3: Well me and Marv obviously have taken care of our 2541 02:18:29,720 --> 02:18:31,520 Speaker 3: bodies really well over the years. 2542 02:18:31,520 --> 02:18:34,000 Speaker 2: You're very similar, and so I have. 2543 02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:36,879 Speaker 3: A feeling when I'm ninety eight, Yeah, and at that 2544 02:18:37,000 --> 02:18:39,039 Speaker 3: point you'll be one hundred and thirty eight. 2545 02:18:39,040 --> 02:18:40,320 Speaker 2: I believe something like that. 2546 02:18:40,480 --> 02:18:44,480 Speaker 3: We will be here on Fox Sports Sunday. Yeah, heading 2547 02:18:44,520 --> 02:18:48,680 Speaker 3: into our next NFL season, which at that point it'll 2548 02:18:48,720 --> 02:18:51,800 Speaker 3: be two hand touch on the quarterback. The sky judge 2549 02:18:51,879 --> 02:18:55,520 Speaker 3: will have be institute at twenty years prior, and we 2550 02:18:55,560 --> 02:18:57,199 Speaker 3: will now have forty. 2551 02:18:56,840 --> 02:19:00,480 Speaker 2: Teams, yes, at least forty teams. The other the highlight 2552 02:19:00,520 --> 02:19:03,240 Speaker 2: for me was finally to hear the name Don Coriel 2553 02:19:03,800 --> 02:19:06,160 Speaker 2: announced as a Pro Football Hall of Famer. 2554 02:19:06,240 --> 02:19:08,560 Speaker 3: I agree with this. This is if you're gonna have 2555 02:19:08,720 --> 02:19:11,760 Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame and you're not going to include 2556 02:19:11,920 --> 02:19:14,320 Speaker 3: Don Coriel, then what the hell are you doing here? 2557 02:19:14,360 --> 02:19:17,080 Speaker 2: Here's what I tell people about Coriel when they look 2558 02:19:17,120 --> 02:19:19,640 Speaker 2: at his three and six mark in postseason, that he 2559 02:19:19,720 --> 02:19:22,160 Speaker 2: never got to a Super Bowl. By the way, it's 2560 02:19:22,200 --> 02:19:24,800 Speaker 2: amazing that he coached two teams in the NFL that 2561 02:19:24,879 --> 02:19:29,040 Speaker 2: don't exist, the Saint Louis Cardinals and the San Diego Chargers. 2562 02:19:29,320 --> 02:19:30,320 Speaker 2: Just throwing it out there. 2563 02:19:30,240 --> 02:19:34,480 Speaker 3: Anyways, good point, and he was made. He was responsible 2564 02:19:34,560 --> 02:19:35,040 Speaker 3: for both. 2565 02:19:35,240 --> 02:19:40,240 Speaker 2: Yes, he took over two miserable franchises and literally overnight 2566 02:19:40,320 --> 02:19:43,160 Speaker 2: made him winners. His cardinal years almost forgotten, but he 2567 02:19:43,200 --> 02:19:46,039 Speaker 2: went back to back division titles at the height of 2568 02:19:46,120 --> 02:19:48,640 Speaker 2: the Cowboys and the Redskins as they were then known, 2569 02:19:49,080 --> 02:19:53,640 Speaker 2: dominating that NFC East. The Chargers were beyond bad before 2570 02:19:53,680 --> 02:19:58,440 Speaker 2: he introduced Eric Coriel. But two of his assistant coaches, 2571 02:19:58,840 --> 02:20:02,360 Speaker 2: two coaches that are in the Pro Football Hall of 2572 02:20:02,400 --> 02:20:07,080 Speaker 2: Fame who literally got their coaching careers started as assisting 2573 02:20:07,280 --> 02:20:14,560 Speaker 2: coaches under Don Coriel at San Diego State were Joe 2574 02:20:14,600 --> 02:20:18,840 Speaker 2: Gibbs and John Madden, and both of them, in their 2575 02:20:18,879 --> 02:20:22,560 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame induction speeches, mentioned the fact that it 2576 02:20:22,600 --> 02:20:25,560 Speaker 2: was hard for them to fathom how they could be 2577 02:20:25,600 --> 02:20:28,240 Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame when the man they learned 2578 02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:30,560 Speaker 2: everything from is not in the Hall of Fame. 2579 02:20:30,920 --> 02:20:31,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2580 02:20:31,560 --> 02:20:35,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, So the reverence that anyone had for Don Coriel, 2581 02:20:36,920 --> 02:20:39,080 Speaker 2: and I was so happy. Dan Fouts obviously is a 2582 02:20:39,120 --> 02:20:42,800 Speaker 2: great quarterback who was a complete nobody at the professional 2583 02:20:42,879 --> 02:20:48,120 Speaker 2: level until Coriel showed up, you know, finally had his day. So, 2584 02:20:48,720 --> 02:20:50,600 Speaker 2: you know, I go back and forth on this whole 2585 02:20:50,640 --> 02:20:53,240 Speaker 2: idea of you know, just is it right to have 2586 02:20:53,280 --> 02:20:56,840 Speaker 2: too many people in the Hall of Fame. You know, 2587 02:20:56,959 --> 02:20:58,840 Speaker 2: if it was up to me, the way I would 2588 02:20:58,920 --> 02:21:00,879 Speaker 2: do the voting would be very simple. The idea of 2589 02:21:00,879 --> 02:21:04,320 Speaker 2: being on the ballot fifteen times, to me is crazy. Look, 2590 02:21:04,680 --> 02:21:08,280 Speaker 2: you retire five years, you have a room of people 2591 02:21:08,360 --> 02:21:10,920 Speaker 2: that should know what they're talking about in terms of 2592 02:21:11,200 --> 02:21:13,039 Speaker 2: who should belong in the Hall of Fame or not, 2593 02:21:13,640 --> 02:21:15,680 Speaker 2: and you have a vote, and then everyone has a 2594 02:21:15,720 --> 02:21:17,959 Speaker 2: second chance, okay, And so if you don't get in 2595 02:21:18,040 --> 02:21:21,560 Speaker 2: that first time five years later, so now there's ten 2596 02:21:21,680 --> 02:21:24,760 Speaker 2: years removed. Yeah, for you to really have plenty of 2597 02:21:24,840 --> 02:21:27,400 Speaker 2: time to think about is this guy a Hall of Famer? 2598 02:21:28,120 --> 02:21:29,920 Speaker 2: And if you don't make it bad time, then I'm 2599 02:21:29,920 --> 02:21:32,000 Speaker 2: sorry you weren't a Hall of Famer. That's the way 2600 02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:32,560 Speaker 2: I would do it. 2601 02:21:32,600 --> 02:21:33,800 Speaker 3: I think. 2602 02:21:34,800 --> 02:21:36,600 Speaker 1: I think it's I again. 2603 02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:40,800 Speaker 3: I went to the Hall of Fame, and I respect 2604 02:21:40,840 --> 02:21:43,720 Speaker 3: and revere the greatness of the players that came before 2605 02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:48,160 Speaker 3: before my career started, and now it's ended and all 2606 02:21:48,200 --> 02:21:52,840 Speaker 3: that stuff like. But the reality is I hate the 2607 02:21:52,879 --> 02:22:00,240 Speaker 3: fact that it's gate held by people who, for whatever 2608 02:22:00,400 --> 02:22:02,800 Speaker 3: variety of reasons, will keep people out of the Halls 2609 02:22:02,800 --> 02:22:05,680 Speaker 3: of Fame. And this is across all sports, whether it 2610 02:22:05,680 --> 02:22:09,080 Speaker 3: be the NAA Smith Pro Basketball or basketball Hall of Fame, 2611 02:22:09,400 --> 02:22:13,000 Speaker 3: it's Pro n amateur, or it's the baseball Hall of 2612 02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:16,040 Speaker 3: Fame in Cooperstown, New York, or the football Hall of 2613 02:22:16,120 --> 02:22:20,000 Speaker 3: Fame in Canton. I just think that every time we 2614 02:22:20,080 --> 02:22:24,400 Speaker 3: have this discussion. I agree with you about criteria, and 2615 02:22:24,480 --> 02:22:27,080 Speaker 3: I agree with you about a lot of the things 2616 02:22:27,120 --> 02:22:29,000 Speaker 3: that you say. I think we have a lot of 2617 02:22:29,040 --> 02:22:32,120 Speaker 3: common ground, But I just can't stand the fact that 2618 02:22:32,360 --> 02:22:34,879 Speaker 3: still to this day, we have to rely on the 2619 02:22:34,920 --> 02:22:38,360 Speaker 3: subjectivity of Hall of Fame voters to tell us who 2620 02:22:38,360 --> 02:22:38,959 Speaker 3: the greats are. 2621 02:22:39,080 --> 02:22:40,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, we know who they are. 2622 02:22:40,360 --> 02:22:41,040 Speaker 2: Don Coriel. 2623 02:22:41,760 --> 02:22:45,320 Speaker 3: Anybody who pays attention to football and understands influence he had. 2624 02:22:45,280 --> 02:22:47,320 Speaker 2: It still has an influence on the game. 2625 02:22:48,520 --> 02:22:50,600 Speaker 3: Understands that he should have been in the Hall of Fame, 2626 02:22:50,640 --> 02:22:53,800 Speaker 3: and for whatever reason, the gatekeeper said no. And I 2627 02:22:53,840 --> 02:22:56,680 Speaker 3: think that's that happens so often with the Hall of 2628 02:22:56,680 --> 02:22:59,600 Speaker 3: Fame that it's sickening, and that's the reason why I 2629 02:22:59,600 --> 02:23:00,879 Speaker 3: don't have a lot of respect for it. 2630 02:23:00,920 --> 02:23:02,480 Speaker 2: By the way, on the other side, I have a 2631 02:23:02,520 --> 02:23:05,039 Speaker 2: quick question about one potential Hall of Famer that is 2632 02:23:05,080 --> 02:23:07,560 Speaker 2: close to you. Okay, I want to ask you specific 2633 02:23:07,680 --> 02:23:11,520 Speaker 2: about one potential Hall of Famer coming up this year, 2634 02:23:11,560 --> 02:23:14,080 Speaker 2: but first let's find out what it's trending right now. 2635 02:23:14,240 --> 02:23:17,240 Speaker 2: Is well, this is a no brain.

Week five. 2661 02:24:12,800 --> 02:24:15,800 Speaker 9: That's what Jamar Chase is saying. According to the NFL Network, is. 2662 02:24:15,800 --> 02:24:17,279 Speaker 2: That what they're saying about Joe Burrow. 2663 02:24:17,400 --> 02:24:19,840 Speaker 8: No, that's no that they're saying there's no reason he 2664 02:24:19,879 --> 02:24:22,560 Speaker 8: can't play week one. It's just Jamar Chase is like, 2665 02:24:22,760 --> 02:24:23,560 Speaker 8: please don't come back. 2666 02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:24,959 Speaker 3: He's refusing to allow. 2667 02:24:25,400 --> 02:24:27,920 Speaker 9: Yes, he's starting back, to come back. 2668 02:24:27,760 --> 02:24:28,600 Speaker 3: To come back and play. 2669 02:24:28,760 --> 02:24:33,039 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow could be ten percent and I guarantee you he'll. 2670 02:24:32,920 --> 02:24:35,360 Speaker 3: Be there, right I wha are you guys saying that 2671 02:24:35,400 --> 02:24:37,040 Speaker 3: Trevor Simeon can't hang? 2672 02:24:37,680 --> 02:24:43,640 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, kind of okay, not the way Joe Burrow can, 2673 02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:46,840 Speaker 8: all right, right, I mean it's because they're talking how 2674 02:24:46,920 --> 02:24:49,600 Speaker 8: calf injuries can linger and if you come back to 2675 02:24:49,760 --> 02:24:52,920 Speaker 8: early it can go worse for you. So that's really 2676 02:24:52,959 --> 02:24:55,080 Speaker 8: what it stems from. But apparently he should be ready 2677 02:24:55,080 --> 02:24:58,520 Speaker 8: to go for Week one. Let's move on to Major 2678 02:24:58,560 --> 02:25:01,640 Speaker 8: League Baseball. Some games have wrapped up.

Despite Matt Olsen 2695 02:25:41,879 --> 02:25:43,920 Speaker 8: hitting his thirty ninth homer of the season, then he 2696 02:25:43,959 --> 02:25:47,199 Speaker 8: had an RBI single.

We do have a lot of 2708 02:26:16,040 --> 02:26:19,440 Speaker 8: WNBA games going on. I'm gonna mention the top two teams, 2709 02:26:19,480 --> 02:26:22,400 Speaker 8: the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty. With 2710 02:26:22,640 --> 02:26:25,520 Speaker 8: Liberty on top sixty six to forty eight less than 2711 02:26:25,560 --> 02:26:28,480 Speaker 8: five minutes to go in the third quarter, Sabrina Eunescu 2712 02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:31,560 Speaker 8: of the New York Liberty thirty one points so far 2713 02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:33,680 Speaker 8: in the game, and again four and a half minutes 2714 02:26:33,760 --> 02:26:35,080 Speaker 8: left in the third period, third quarter. 2715 02:26:35,640 --> 02:26:37,400 Speaker 2: Did she put on a show at the All Star 2716 02:26:37,480 --> 02:26:37,880 Speaker 2: Game with that? 2717 02:26:38,600 --> 02:26:43,040 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, Oh she's amazing. And the Aces are stacked, yes, 2718 02:26:43,360 --> 02:26:44,320 Speaker 9: stacked stacks. 2719 02:26:44,480 --> 02:26:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like a super two, they really really are. 2720 02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:49,200 Speaker 8: And right now Liberty is putting on a show against 2721 02:26:49,440 --> 02:26:50,119 Speaker 8: I think it's good. 2722 02:26:49,959 --> 02:26:51,400 Speaker 2: For the WNBA. 2723 02:26:51,040 --> 02:26:51,320 Speaker 3: I am. 2724 02:26:51,520 --> 02:26:53,960 Speaker 2: I always think it's good for any sport to have 2725 02:26:54,640 --> 02:26:56,039 Speaker 2: a super dominant. 2726 02:26:55,640 --> 02:26:58,680 Speaker 8: Team, yes, for sure, and to have Sabrina unsk who 2727 02:26:58,720 --> 02:26:59,800 Speaker 8: still shine against them. 2728 02:27:00,040 --> 02:27:00,160 Speaker 1: Yea. 2729 02:27:00,280 --> 02:27:03,920 Speaker 9: That helps. Also, thirty one points thirty one points not bad, 2730 02:27:04,120 --> 02:27:05,840 Speaker 9: not bad. At all. Back to you guys, all. 2731 02:27:05,840 --> 02:27:09,200 Speaker 2: Right, great job as always, MOONSI all right, I want 2732 02:27:09,200 --> 02:27:13,200 Speaker 2: to ask you Rich about a guy whose name could 2733 02:27:13,280 --> 02:27:18,119 Speaker 2: be presented at the Hall of Fame in twenty twenty four. 2734 02:27:18,480 --> 02:27:21,600 Speaker 2: So the process of the voting right now is they're 2735 02:27:21,640 --> 02:27:25,240 Speaker 2: focusing on the Seniors committee. So there's two categories. You 2736 02:27:25,240 --> 02:27:28,240 Speaker 2: have the players, where they can nominate up to three players. 2737 02:27:29,040 --> 02:27:30,840 Speaker 2: They did this for a couple of years because they 2738 02:27:30,879 --> 02:27:32,959 Speaker 2: felt like that a backlog of players they had to 2739 02:27:32,959 --> 02:27:36,920 Speaker 2: get to. And then they have the coach slash contributor category, 2740 02:27:37,160 --> 02:27:42,119 Speaker 2: which produced obviously Don Coriel this year, and the guy 2741 02:27:42,200 --> 02:27:44,480 Speaker 2: that a lot of people are saying is finally going 2742 02:27:44,560 --> 02:27:47,920 Speaker 2: to get the nod in that category. They'll be announcing this, 2743 02:27:48,040 --> 02:27:50,320 Speaker 2: I believe on the fifteenth of August. So coming up 2744 02:27:50,320 --> 02:27:54,200 Speaker 2: here shortly is Robert Kraft, the owner of the New 2745 02:27:54,240 --> 02:28:01,279 Speaker 2: England Patriots. It's not getting younger. And obviously Jerry Jones 2746 02:28:01,360 --> 02:28:05,480 Speaker 2: is in the Hall of Fame. We've had Eddie de 2747 02:28:05,520 --> 02:28:08,320 Speaker 2: Bartelow in the Hall of Fame, so their owners had 2748 02:28:08,520 --> 02:28:12,320 Speaker 2: definitely earn it based on success, and no owner has 2749 02:28:12,360 --> 02:28:17,520 Speaker 2: more Super Bowl trophies than Robert Kraft. So two questions 2750 02:28:17,520 --> 02:28:21,000 Speaker 2: for you as someone that played for the Patriots organization, 2751 02:28:21,120 --> 02:28:26,640 Speaker 2: one of the most celebrated names in Patriots history. How 2752 02:28:26,720 --> 02:28:31,640 Speaker 2: much credit should Robert Craft get for the success of 2753 02:28:31,680 --> 02:28:35,760 Speaker 2: the Patriots organization? That's question one. In question two, if 2754 02:28:35,760 --> 02:28:38,000 Speaker 2: he is elected to the Hall of Fame, who do 2755 02:28:38,040 --> 02:28:41,240 Speaker 2: you believe he would choose as his presenter. 2756 02:28:42,280 --> 02:28:45,840 Speaker 3: He will be elected to the Hall of Fame, I 2757 02:28:45,840 --> 02:28:48,640 Speaker 3: would assume it's going to be soon, because I don't 2758 02:28:48,720 --> 02:28:51,440 Speaker 3: think they I think they would prefer to do it 2759 02:28:52,320 --> 02:28:56,280 Speaker 3: while he's still around and kicking as opposed to posthumously, 2760 02:28:56,440 --> 02:29:01,440 Speaker 3: especially with Jerry Jones setting that trend. Yes, and uh, 2761 02:29:03,120 --> 02:29:06,080 Speaker 3: I mean, if you had to choose anybody, we'll see 2762 02:29:06,280 --> 02:29:11,360 Speaker 3: if my schedule in August, can can really I mean, 2763 02:29:11,440 --> 02:29:14,240 Speaker 3: if things align, I don't know, I mean, will he I. 2764 02:29:14,160 --> 02:29:16,080 Speaker 2: Think this brings up a good point if he were 2765 02:29:16,120 --> 02:29:17,000 Speaker 2: to choose you. 2766 02:29:17,360 --> 02:29:21,440 Speaker 3: He did draft I mean, he was partially responsibil responsible 2767 02:29:21,520 --> 02:29:24,119 Speaker 3: for drafting me in the fourth round of the two 2768 02:29:24,120 --> 02:29:25,080 Speaker 3: thousand and nine draft. 2769 02:29:25,280 --> 02:29:27,080 Speaker 1: And I know, hold your applause. 2770 02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:31,360 Speaker 3: But I so, I mean, one of the greatest decisions 2771 02:29:31,400 --> 02:29:34,080 Speaker 3: the franchise ever made and potentially for the history of 2772 02:29:34,080 --> 02:29:34,720 Speaker 3: the NFL. 2773 02:29:35,120 --> 02:29:36,600 Speaker 1: So that's a big deal. 2774 02:29:36,840 --> 02:29:40,720 Speaker 3: But getting back to Robert, I mean, you could argue 2775 02:29:40,760 --> 02:29:43,119 Speaker 3: that he had some success even before I got there. 2776 02:29:43,800 --> 02:29:49,400 Speaker 2: I'll know that. So when we talk about the unprecedented 2777 02:29:49,400 --> 02:29:53,280 Speaker 2: success yeh over a twenty year period, and we always 2778 02:29:53,320 --> 02:29:57,840 Speaker 2: talk about Belichick and obviously we talk about Brady, Where 2779 02:29:57,879 --> 02:30:02,280 Speaker 2: does Robert Craft fit in to the equation in terms 2780 02:30:02,320 --> 02:30:07,840 Speaker 2: of deserved responsibility for the success of the franchise? 2781 02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:09,120 Speaker 1: Extremely high? 2782 02:30:09,160 --> 02:30:13,560 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you why, because it is very, very 2783 02:30:13,600 --> 02:30:20,920 Speaker 3: easy to get overly involved in anything when when it 2784 02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:21,560 Speaker 3: matters to. 2785 02:30:21,520 --> 02:30:26,039 Speaker 1: You, uh, think about think about any. 2786 02:30:25,920 --> 02:30:29,520 Speaker 3: House project that you ever that you ever had, you know, 2787 02:30:29,600 --> 02:30:33,360 Speaker 3: commissioned on your house, whether it's rebuilding a bathroom or 2788 02:30:33,440 --> 02:30:39,000 Speaker 3: putting in a walking closet or a complete renovation. You're 2789 02:30:39,040 --> 02:30:41,879 Speaker 3: going to obviously give your thoughts and your ideas, but 2790 02:30:41,920 --> 02:30:44,000 Speaker 3: then at some point you're going to put your trust 2791 02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:48,440 Speaker 3: into the thought process of experts who you've hired to 2792 02:30:48,640 --> 02:30:52,600 Speaker 3: handle building the bathroom or the closet or the house 2793 02:30:53,160 --> 02:30:55,600 Speaker 3: because you don't know how to do that. That's not 2794 02:30:55,760 --> 02:30:59,080 Speaker 3: your job. Your job is to write the checks and 2795 02:30:59,120 --> 02:31:03,600 Speaker 3: it's somebody else's job to renovate. Well, that's very similar 2796 02:31:04,240 --> 02:31:09,040 Speaker 3: with an NFL owner, you know. I mean, yeah, you 2797 02:31:09,120 --> 02:31:11,720 Speaker 3: have a general idea of what you want. You may 2798 02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:13,959 Speaker 3: have an idea of what you want your culture to 2799 02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:15,720 Speaker 3: look like. You may have an idea of even what 2800 02:31:15,800 --> 02:31:18,440 Speaker 3: type of players you want on your team, whether it 2801 02:31:18,480 --> 02:31:21,400 Speaker 3: be like, hey, we want all good character guys, we 2802 02:31:21,440 --> 02:31:25,120 Speaker 3: want everybody the focus of this to be to be 2803 02:31:25,240 --> 02:31:28,280 Speaker 3: team over me. Whatever it may be. Like, Okay, so 2804 02:31:28,400 --> 02:31:32,000 Speaker 3: big thematic ideas, but I mean, you're not the one 2805 02:31:32,040 --> 02:31:35,680 Speaker 3: who's down there in the dirt laying a foundation or 2806 02:31:35,720 --> 02:31:39,480 Speaker 3: framing the thing, or drywalling or plumbing or doing the 2807 02:31:39,520 --> 02:31:42,840 Speaker 3: electricity when you get in your house rebuilt same way. 2808 02:31:42,879 --> 02:31:45,760 Speaker 3: And owner shouldn't be the one who is in the 2809 02:31:45,840 --> 02:31:49,240 Speaker 3: draft room making bold proclamations about what the team needs 2810 02:31:49,240 --> 02:31:52,160 Speaker 3: for the upcoming season. And it's really hard to do. 2811 02:31:52,760 --> 02:31:56,080 Speaker 3: It's really hard to do to stay completely uninvolved. Now 2812 02:31:56,080 --> 02:31:58,680 Speaker 3: I'm not saying Robert Craft has stayed completely uninvolved. I 2813 02:31:58,680 --> 02:32:01,400 Speaker 3: do think that there have been occasions over the twenty 2814 02:32:01,480 --> 02:32:04,560 Speaker 3: year span of success that he had with Bill Belichick 2815 02:32:04,959 --> 02:32:12,400 Speaker 3: where he had made his decision known that they were 2816 02:32:12,400 --> 02:32:15,000 Speaker 3: going to go with his idea instead of Bill's idea. 2817 02:32:15,360 --> 02:32:16,280 Speaker 1: But it was rare. 2818 02:32:16,720 --> 02:32:20,959 Speaker 3: He essentially gave the keys of the kingdom to a 2819 02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:25,120 Speaker 3: head coach slash general manager who had limited success in 2820 02:32:25,160 --> 02:32:28,960 Speaker 3: the league as a head coach prior, and said, it's 2821 02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:32,640 Speaker 3: your show, run it however you want, and that's how 2822 02:32:32,640 --> 02:32:36,240 Speaker 3: a champion was built. So even though we credit Bill 2823 02:32:36,240 --> 02:32:40,720 Speaker 3: Belichick and obviously Tom Brady for the incredible success that 2824 02:32:40,800 --> 02:32:47,680 Speaker 3: New England had, it also took somebody having the selflessness 2825 02:32:47,680 --> 02:32:49,720 Speaker 3: and the foresight to stay out of the way and 2826 02:32:49,800 --> 02:32:50,480 Speaker 3: let it happen. 2827 02:32:51,560 --> 02:32:55,160 Speaker 2: Think about this, and this is the one decision that 2828 02:32:55,280 --> 02:33:02,920 Speaker 2: you there's no argument about. So after a course getting 2829 02:33:02,959 --> 02:33:06,520 Speaker 2: fired by the Cleveland Browns, he went back to you know, 2830 02:33:06,680 --> 02:33:11,120 Speaker 2: essentially work with Parcels. And then Parcells steps down as 2831 02:33:11,160 --> 02:33:13,840 Speaker 2: the head coach of the Jets and hands him the job. 2832 02:33:15,040 --> 02:33:18,480 Speaker 2: He was the Jets coach for one day, and it 2833 02:33:18,560 --> 02:33:23,040 Speaker 2: was Robert Kraft that offered the Jets a first round 2834 02:33:23,080 --> 02:33:30,120 Speaker 2: pick to get Belichick, and so he was introduced but 2835 02:33:30,200 --> 02:33:32,760 Speaker 2: not really introduced as the Jets head coach for a day, 2836 02:33:33,520 --> 02:33:34,800 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the Jets get a 2837 02:33:34,840 --> 02:33:36,840 Speaker 2: call from Belichick saying, how would you like a first 2838 02:33:36,920 --> 02:33:40,160 Speaker 2: round pick for this guy? They said, really, We'll take it. 2839 02:33:42,120 --> 02:33:44,560 Speaker 2: And that changed the course of history for both of 2840 02:33:44,560 --> 02:33:47,960 Speaker 2: those franchises. Saw him with you. Craft is very deserving, 2841 02:33:48,120 --> 02:33:52,480 Speaker 2: and he's now into his eighties. It's overdue. Give this 2842 02:33:52,560 --> 02:33:55,200 Speaker 2: man his due, give him an opportunity to thank the 2843 02:33:55,240 --> 02:33:58,480 Speaker 2: people that helped him along the way to become the 2844 02:33:58,959 --> 02:34:02,400 Speaker 2: winningness owner in NFL history in terms of Super Bowl 2845 02:34:02,440 --> 02:34:05,000 Speaker 2: championships of all time.
