15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,919

00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 3: It's that that sort of morning. Yeah, I got that,

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,880

00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: I want to send it to you, baby, I'm want

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,920

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: at No steak this morning. Unfortunate leftover. No pizza steak,

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: that's said.

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 3: But still I've got I've got the fire. I'm ready

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: for the next four hours of greatness. I'm on the

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: East coast this week, not the west coast. It almost

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: feels normal. Let's go.

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: That's let me ask you a question, because just to

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: start off, I love I'll tell you that I love

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: football any night. Like like figure, I'll tell you I

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: love football any night. So if it's Tuesday, I'm in maction, Wednesday,

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I love football every night, and so

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Thursday night football, Like listen, do I think the quality

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: is great? No? But I like it and I watch it,

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: so I can't be ampocrite. The only thing I don't

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: like is when my team plays on Thursday, because I

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: feel like I feel awkward, like I like I got now.

36
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: I look forward too.

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: I love the whole league, so I'll watch a whole

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: slate of it, but I much prefer the like Monday

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: night as to the third Thursday night. So the Eagles

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: played Thursday night, and I go, wow, now you gotta

41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: wait like ten days to see your squad. What do

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: you think of that?

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, So a couple of things on this number one.

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna discover early that I absolutely hate bye weeks

45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: because bye weeks are, like You're right, I love and

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 3: I watch and I consume all football, but bye weeks

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: are the worst. Like the NFL could have made this simple.

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: You play eight weeks, the entire league takes a bye week,

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: and then you play eight weeks. I give us all

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: one week where we have to suffer together. But I

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: hate by week's because my favorite team is not playing.

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: But also, now that I don't work for ESPN, I

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: can just say this out loud. I hate being on

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Monday Night football. I hate sitting there because I have

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: so much angst about the Raiders, you know, like I

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: don't want to sit there. Like all day Sunday, I'm

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: watching every game and I'm just thinking Tomorrow night's gonna suck.

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: That's what happens to me all day, like, cause I'm

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: just I'm worried about Monday night football. I'm with you.

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 3: The Thursday night thing is just such a it's such

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: an aberration, Like it's an outlier for the rest to life.

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: So it feels like on Monday night, at least you

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: got your boys, everybody's coming over, You're doing a thing

64
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: on Thursday for whatever reason, it just feels like society

65
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: doesn't stop the same way for Thursday night football. Right,

66
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: So it's a little difficult because like when my favorite

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: team's on national TV, I want it to be a

68
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: moment that everybody consumes. And it feels like Thursday night

69
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: football is more background noise than attention. That's the part

70
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: I don't love about it. So but I'm with you.

71
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: Sundays just feel weird. I don't know what to do

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: with my hands when the Raiders playing on Suthers.

73
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: And I love my favorite Sunday night, Like I love

74
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: when my team plays Sunday night. So when the Eagles

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: play something like that, you know, i'd siga. I love it.

76
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: It's my favorite because then you get Sunday night and

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: then which is prime time, it's the big one, and

78
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: then Monday night. You know, okay, I got it Thursday night.

79
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: So it's kind of my rhythm. So question U this

80
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Thursday night, this past Thursday night Eagles Vikings takeaways. I'm

81
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: gonna tell you right off the bad but you know

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: it's going to take a little while. And this is

83
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: something that I think all teams are talking about. Nick

84
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: Sirianni talked about it that he would revisit the way

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: he does things in the preseason because his quarterback right

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: now is really rusty. And you saw Jalen Hurts and

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: I and I listen. I think Jalen Hurts is one

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: of the great workers, the great students of the game

89
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: of our time. Like he will put work in to

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: get right, but he's not right right now.

91
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: And you saw it even.

92
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Though they were able to win. And you know, they

93
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: have a tremendous offensive line, as you know, and they

94
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: dost swift off and you see what he does. But

95
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, part of this rurry and there's a lot

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: of angs here in Philadelphia because of both injuries and

97
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: the way Jalen looks early, and I just think it's

98
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: really mostly a degree of rust when it comes to Hurts.

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right. And we saw that across

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: like accuracy was the theme of Week one and Thursday's

101
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: essentially an extension of that. From the quarterback position. It

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: felt like there were only two ways that it went.

103
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: Either defenses were playing so soft that quarterbacks were carving

104
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: them up but nothing was really being done out of it,

105
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: or the quarterbacks that take chances weren't very accurate. Now,

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: one trend we saw on Thursday that matches what we

107
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: saw last year, and I think it just sort of

108
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: speaks to what Thursday Night Football is. I'll be honest

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: I made good cash last year hammering over on rushing

110
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: attempts for quarterbacks that like to run on Thursday night football.

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: My theory has always been short week, and when it's

112
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: a short week, everybody's a little less prepared. And when

113
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: you're a little less prepared, you sort of go back

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: to your instincts. So I wasn't surprised, honestly to see

115
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: teams try and run the football in general on Thursday night,

116
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: because if you talk to you know, big fat guys

117
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: that played the position, they'll tell you offensive line gels

118
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: together running the football faster than it does in pass protections.

119
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: So I thought it was a very safe game plan.

120
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: But it was also very execute game plan. So where

121
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 3: do we draw the line between being a smart coach

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: and saying, hey, here's where we are in a few

123
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 3: days rest when nobody's really ready to do this, versus saying,

124
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: well they look rusty, you know what I mean, Like Bese,

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: what did we really expect if we're going to sit

126
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: there on Sunday?

127
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: Well he morphed. Now he changed things.

128
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: Now it's interesting because oh, the Eagles have a new

129
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: OC Shane Stikeen's Indianapolis. As you know, and Brian Johnson

130
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 1: is your new offense coordinator, right, so there was if

131
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: you looked and talking to those guys afterwards, you know,

132
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: one of the things that they saw was the RPOs

133
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: and the rprs were taken away by Brian Flores. Now

134
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: they saw Belichick doing on Sunday, And if you saw

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: the way that they were trying to run the football,

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: the only thing that was open was between the tackles,

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: and they were able to go with Swift, but they

138
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: took off the edges from Hurts. So I think that's

139
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of the next how do the Eagles, who are

140
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the NFC, how do

141
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: they now counter punch this new defensive luck, which is

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna take away the edges of Jalen So all

143
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: those rprs and RPOs, they're gonna take it away and

144
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: then they're gonna blitch you. And the only thing that's

145
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: really gonna be open the counter is between the tackles.

146
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: And that's why you saw Swift have so much success.

147
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that all makes sense. I'm just saying. When

148
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: we sit there and watch on Sunday and you hear

149
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: the broadcast, people remind you over and over Week one. Hey,

150
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: there's nothing to consimulate four quarters of football. That's why

151
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: everybody looks bad in the fourth quarter. All right, then

152
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: you get three days rest and you got to do

153
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: it all over again. Like of course Week one felt

154
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: a little sloppy. Also in defense of Jalen Hurts, there

155
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: was a touchdown that was called back for procedural era

156
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: that was you know, AJ Brown, And then right after

157
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: that there was it felt to me like a pass

158
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: interference in the end zone that wasn't called on AJ Brown.

159
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: Like part of this is just once he gels with

160
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: his receivers, you're not going to be able to defend

161
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: that offense to the same way. Like there were chances

162
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: there for them, they just didn't quite connect on them.

163
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: So I think we have to look when you when

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: you watch that stuff back, you have to look a

165
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: little bit at the missed opportunities by you know, a

166
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: fraction of an inch and understand that that stuff will

167
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: normalize over the course of a season. Two.

168
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's a good point you have to know.

169
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: And so we're going to get to know each other.

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: So I'm a I'm a loser, right, So I watched

171
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: the all twenty two stuff. I think I'm a coach.

172
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I have like a weird you know, I play. It's

173
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: like a role playing, right, but it's but it's not fun.

174
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: It's I think I'm like a coach. So I know

175
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches in the league, and so blah

176
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, and I go, I think I'm

177
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: a coach. I think I'm a GM like I'm a

178
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: complete delusional mess. So I watched this stuff over and

179
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: over again, and then you know, I'll talk so I

180
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: could actually think that they actually care what I say.

181
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: So when I talk to.

182
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman and go, dude, blah blah blah blah blah,

183
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: he actually goes, oh, Anthony knows what he's talking about.

184
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: Not really like he's just pat me on the head.

185
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: But that's okay. At least I can convince myself. One

186
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: of the things that when you look at what Hurts

187
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: is playing, he's late on his throws. Like there was

188
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: a player early if you saw one of the first

189
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: big players of the game was to Devonte Smith, and

190
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: it should have been a touchdown if he puts the

191
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: ball out in front, Yeah it's a touchdown. He's late

192
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: he's he's not seeing the field. He only had a

193
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: handful of throws. And there's a lot of talk here

194
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: because this is a very manic town where I'm in

195
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: and so when they look at things like they're going,

196
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: we expect you to look the way you did in

197
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl right like that you don't miss a beat,

198
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: and that's just not going to happen.

199
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: And that's just not possible.

200
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: So you know, everybody looks at it and goes, well,

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: what's wrong with Jalen? And so when you and I

202
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: talk and I'm digest, I say it's again, you got

203
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: to get in the rhythm and new oc not nothing

204
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: in the preseason. That rhythm will come, but it's just

205
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: not there yet.

206
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean two new coordinators for the Eagles is

207
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: significant to me. And just look, you know at what

208
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills have looked like since they changed offensive coordinators.

209
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think, by the way, it was

210
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: any sort of an accident. If you go back and

211
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: watch week one, one of the biggest takeaways is what

212
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: do you know Anthony Richardson looked far better than a

213
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: lot of people expected because he's got Shane Stikeen out there.

214
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: Who knows what to do with the quarterback. Shane Stikeen

215
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: has historically been very good at his job, right, That's

216
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: part of why he's a head coach. So I think

217
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: anytime you got a new quarterback, offensive coordinator, combo. Even

218
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 3: even if we want to take the benefit of the

219
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: doubt and say, guys, they're all going to be on

220
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: the same page, we have to understand that that stuff's

221
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: going to take a second. And you know, frankly, if

222
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: you're if you're watching your favorite team and you realize

223
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: that there are things to clean up, which there are,

224
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: but you also realize in the same breath that you've

225
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: got to win over the Patriots and a win over

226
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: the Vikings, like, hey, this guy isn't falling at that point,

227
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: Like you can look around and say, hey, while they're

228
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: cleaning it up, if they're still picking up wins like

229
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: this is that's the best case scenario for all of it. Yeah,

230
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: of course you want to to come out and just

231
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: like look like golden gods out of the out of

232
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,239
Speaker 3: the gates. But other than maybe the cowboys in San Francisco,

233
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: did anybody look like a golden god out of the gates?

234
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: So Miami I'll put Miami at least offensively on that category.

235
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: But I just think we have to understand that this

236
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: is the very byproduct of a weird preseason for most teams,

237
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: like your your whole offense is going to be out

238
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: of rhythm, which is why defenses are ahead of offenses

239
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: in one week.

240
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, that's that spot on Good Morning, Figure.

241
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: Let me bring you in to the conversation, my man,

242
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Figures. Fig what do you think what was your

243
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: assessment Thursday night?

244
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think to Jason's point just week one,

245
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: this the overall sloppiness that you see is something that

246
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 4: we've come to expect over the last couple of years

247
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 4: with the way that teams treat the preseason. And you

248
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: guys brought up the point of what you know, the

249
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: Eagles head coach mentioned about maybe the strategy needs to

250
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: be different going into preseasons moving forward. So I'm not

251
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: overly concerned about the way that the Eagles have performed

252
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: these first couple of weeks, because I do think they're

253
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: kind of working through some rhythm and timing issues, which

254
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: you know, Anthony, that's the kind of offense that they run,

255
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: you know, the rhythm and the timing is everything. I

256
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: think they're fortunate to be able to be able to

257
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: work through those things and still come out of this

258
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 4: at two and oh. So it's not ideal, but I

259
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 4: guess coming back and coming out at two and oh,

260
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: you'll definitely take it.

261
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny, but we live in such an obsessed

262
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: football Chaln's that's insane. That like there's like they want you,

263
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: they're chewing out and Monday I was getting people are

264
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: calling ripping Brian Johnson, Like Brian Johnson, go one game,

265
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: you guys, just calm down, relax, and then you know

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: they win. It's like, oh my.

267
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: God, they're back end. It's decimated by injuries.

268
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: What's wrong with Jalen. It's like we're all star worriers.

269
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, I go relax to it own, man, you

270
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: know the whole thing. Let me ask you.

271
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: Let me real quick.

272
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: Like sure.

273
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: I always tell people I live by this phrase, it's

274
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: better to be lucky than good, right like, because you

275
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 3: could be good all day long, but if you know,

276
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: if luck doesn't break your way, who gives a damn?

277
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: At some point, like there is some element and I

278
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: get the eggs. I mean as a fan, of a

279
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: team that has been just tragically bad most of my life.

280
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: I understand the angs. I guess my only question to

281
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: fans in general is, what's the point if you can't

282
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: enjoy a win? What is the point? Because I see

283
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 3: this not just from Philly, but there are several markets

284
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 3: that get so worked up about all of the things,

285
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: even in a winn, and it's like, man, we know

286
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: this guy is going to be falling if your favorite

287
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: team loses, So, by God, if they get a win,

288
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: relax a little bit. Just celebrate the day thing.

289
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Do you think there's fun in wearing so let me

290
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: just say so. I come from a family they were

291
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: like Hall of Fame warriers, my mother, my aunt Cookie, right,

292
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: Like they used to worry all the time, Oh my God.

293
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Like they worried about like the most ridiculous little things.

294
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: God rest their soults. Right, they were the greatest, but God,

295
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: they would worry over everything, Oh my God. And everything

296
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: was like like Italian people are like dramatic, right, so

297
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: if God forbid, oh my God, you're gonna say it

298
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: prayer because you got a hold in your shirt, right,

299
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: Like it was like the most ridiculous things. They were

300
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: worried about. And I think part of sports fans loves

301
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: the edge, right, Like you love the adrenaline of it's

302
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: great day one and you know that, but it's there's

303
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: some weird, perverse fun in wearing I hear.

304
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: People all the time say, oh, I just you know,

305
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: I'm preparing myself for the letdown, Like, look, the letdown

306
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: is gonna come for thirty one fan basis this year.

307
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: Why not just wait till it happens. Like if you

308
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: go out on a first date with the girl and

309
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: the whole time you spend the time talking about why

310
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: she's gonna break up with you, you ain't gonna get

311
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: a second date. Like what maybe maybe we should just

312
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: go back to tating our favorite teams, like just enjoy

313
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: the night and don't be that guy that's sitting there saying,

314
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure you hate your food and I probably can't

315
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: afford it, and you know, I guess you'd probably think

316
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: I'm not that attractive, Like we've all become ere as

317
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: sports fans. We're just like they're with our ears drooping

318
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: in the rain, and I'm like, don't be fair.

319
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: Don't text her a hundred times, all right, don't They'll

320
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: do that look all of them for a while? A

321
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: little mystery, you know what I'm saying, I played cool.

322
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I watched my beloved Raiders not look

323
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: like world beaters. I don't give a damn there one

324
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: to oh like. At some point, I'm just looking around saying,

325
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: my favorite team is undefeated until they lose it, and

326
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: are they probably gonna lose to Buffalo. Yeah, but I'm

327
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: not gonna worry about it till it happens. Like I'm

328
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: just I'm taking a different mindset after the majority of

329
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: the last thirty years just having my heart stomped on.

330
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to bring some positivity to people.

331
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's beautiful, that's a great that's great messaging, all right.

332
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of teams that are just gone awry and teams

333
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: that have no luck, the Jets, we uh, we're gonna

334
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: talk about that coming up because that is the story

335
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: of the NFL. We'll obviously get into a ton of

336
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: college football. But is there any worse story that would

337
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: happen to Jet fans? Obviously with Aaron Rodgers, we'll discuss that,

338
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: whether or not, speaking of the Thursday night game to

339
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: marry those two, whether or not they should trade for

340
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. So we'll dive into that whole Rogers Saga

373
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: it doesn't get worse than being a Jet fan. Like

374
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: all the torture, Jason, that you have been through, all

375
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: the just angst and torture and everything else, you have

376
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: no comparison to being a Jet fan. You waited all

377
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: like your whole life for a quarterback since Joe Namath,

378
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: like you waited and waited waiting for relevancy, you know,

379
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: watching the Giants, you know, win super balls and get

380
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: a claim. And here you are a slowly Jet fan

381
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: from Queen's and your hopes and everything dreams dashed in

382
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: four freaking plays.

383
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: Probably, Well, here's the thing. Because of that and the

384
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: way you just got sitting by the way, I wouldn't

385
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: wish that on any football fan ever, Like I remember

386
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: when we all have these stories, but I remember where

387
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 3: I was the year that Derek Carr was playing at

388
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: such a high level and the Raiders looked like they

389
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: might have a thin chance at going to the super Bowl,

390
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: and everybody felt great about it. And it was I

391
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 3: think Christmas Eve maybe, but it was right around there

392
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: that car injures his leg and the Raiders season just

393
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: goes to you know what. And I remember sitting there,

394
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: just sinking in my chair, surrounded by family and loved

395
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 3: ones and things that are more important than football, and

396
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: not being able to focus on any of that because

397
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: my heart was breaking. You know, I wouldn't wish that

398
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: on anybody at any time, but especially four plays in.

399
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 3: We all lost here. If you you are pro Aaron Rodgers,

400
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: obviously you're heartbroken. If you were anti Aaron Rodgers, the biggest,

401
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: the best solution would have been Aaron Rodgers came out

402
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 3: and didn't play well like this, Now, for the next

403
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 3: fifty years, everybody you know that's a Jets fan is

404
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: gonna go woe is me every single time, and they're

405
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 3: gonna tell you repeatedly about that season where they had

406
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: the defense, they had everything, and Aaron Rodgers for like,

407
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: for that, You're gonna be sitting in a home in

408
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: thirty forty to fifty years looking at somebody that's gonna

409
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: be sitting there eating their oatmeal, and they're gonna look

410
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: over and be like, but the Jets remember that one year,

411
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: like this is going to be ingrained in the fabric

412
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: of a fandom for generations, and that just is heartbreaking. Like,

413
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: we love this sport, we love the fandom of it.

414
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: It's heartbreaking to think about the way Jets and fans

415
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: are gonna feel about this for generations.

416
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: I know, dude, I just that's horrendous. Just as a

417
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: football fan, I feel cheated. I gotta tell you I do.

418
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: I feel horrible fault. I was looking for that story.

419
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: The Jets defense is legit, and I love those you know, receivers.

420
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm a Garret I love Garrett Wilson to death.

421
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: You can see two great running backs, like that's that

422
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: offense was just incredible, Like it was going to be

423
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: a great offense and Rogers was going to be able.

424
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: You know, again, the whole hype right hard knocks, He's

425
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: all over man Ain't the toast of Manhattan, the whole

426
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: thing there doesn't get more of a polarizing personality than

427
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Rogers and it's over. That's insane, dude.

428
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: It's one of those moments where you just realize that

429
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: that's you know, it's part of what makes every NFL

430
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 3: season so interesting. But you think about the air that

431
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: was taken out of the tires for every single fan,

432
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: Like Monday Night Football put up historic numbers, but even

433
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: where you were, how often for the longest time any

434
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: of us are going to sit there and remember where

435
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: we were when Aaron Rodgers made his debut with the Jets,

436
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: what it was supposed to be, and what happened, and

437
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: to have it happen in such a freak way, and

438
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: to have it happen in such a weird way to

439
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: somebody that that's just not part of the lex kind

440
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 3: of what we think of for Aaron Rodgers, Like there

441
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: wasn't really any consideration even when they were negotiating back

442
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 3: and forth when he plays sixty five percent of the snaps.

443
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: A lot of people, myself included, thought, well, this is

444
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: a dumb thing to be negotiating, because what are the

445
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: chances that he's not going to play sixty five percent

446
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: of the snaps? And how we see that? That looks

447
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: like that was a brilliant negotiation, you know, obviously, but

448
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 3: it's one of those moments that if you think about

449
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 3: the way we feel as a fan, now ask yourself,

450
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: how are they feeling in the locker room, because I

451
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 3: just don't know how you go from the high that

452
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 3: you were feeling to the realization that you're going to

453
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: have to try and get it done with your backup

454
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: quarterback and you know what entity that is Like, that's

455
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: got to be deflating for the entire organization internally as well.

456
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 3: Even if they won't say it, I still believe it's happening.

457
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, just crushing, crushing. I remember being a young buck

458
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: and growing up in Philadelphia. Randall Cunningham broke his leg

459
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: at Bryce Pop from the Green Bay Packers broke his

460
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: leg in Week one and it was the Super Bowl

461
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: like that. Eagles had never won the Super Bowl and

462
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: everybody felt they had the best defense in the league,

463
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: and everybody felt that they were going to make their run,

464
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: and everybody was hyped up, and everybody was freaking out.

465
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: And it's the first week and Randall, the ultimate weapon,

466
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: goes down with a broken leg.

467
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: It was the worst feeling.

468
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: Like I remember that, I could. My heart goes out

469
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: to Jet fans because that's the worst feeling week one.

470
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing if it's late in the

471
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: season or whatever, but the first week four plays in

472
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: that's even more cruel.

473
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: And the one thing I would caution everybody is that

474
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: this speculation of what he will or won't do. This

475
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: is Aaron Rodgers man. Like we've been wrong about what

476
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 3: he's doing at every chapter of his life so far.

477
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: So maybe just like the best approach for all of

478
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 3: us is to just wait and let him figure out

479
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 3: what he's gonna do, because none of us know, none

480
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: of his teammates know, nobody, Like this is the guy

481
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: that had to go into the darkness to figure out

482
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: if he was gonna play. We don't know what, you know,

483
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 3: whale sounds, He's gonna listen to Ali rehabs. It's gonna

484
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: give him some sort of great feeling that he wants

485
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: to be back out there. Like, I'm done trying to

486
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: predict anything that Aaron Rodgers wants to do. So I

487
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 3: think this is that moment too, where they've got to

488
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: figure out as an organization how much he can be

489
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 3: around without that being, you know, a heartbreaking realization, and

490
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 3: they've got to figure out sort of how to make

491
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 3: the best out of this season and then hope, hope

492
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: to hell that somehow someway next year he comes back

493
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 3: and has something left in the tank. I'm not counting

494
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: anything in or out with Aaron Rodgers until he tells

495
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: us what we can bank on.

496
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's listen to him and figure I

497
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: want to come to you in a minute, get your take,

498
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: and then we'll do some trending. But let's listen to

499
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show.

500
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 7: Give me the timetables, Give me all the things that

501
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 7: you think can, should or will happen, because all I

502
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 7: need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That's

503
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 7: all I need. So give me your doubts, give me

504
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 7: your prognostications, and then watch what I do. You know,

505
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 7: we'll see you see what happens. It's just there's a process,

506
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 7: there's certain markers we got.

507
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: To hit you trying to say you're coming back this season.

508
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's happening?

509
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: Are you coming back for the playoffs this year?

510
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna make any of those statements.

511
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 7: I don't feel like that's that's fair to myself.

512
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm just is it a possibility?

513
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 7: I think, as Kevin Garnett said, anything's probable.

514
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: He's wild. I love a wait fig Could you believe this?

515
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Could you believe what happened?

516
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 4: It is one of the saddest things I've ever seen

517
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 4: in my life. To be honest with you, the Jets

518
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: as a franchise, my immediate thought was, if any test

519
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 4: of already getting injured Chad Pennington came back a year

520
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 4: after they had a really good run and he got

521
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: injured in the first game. They just seem I'm not

522
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 4: a big I'm not big on curses, but if there

523
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: is a curse franchise in the NFL, I feel like

524
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 4: it's the New York Jets. With all the pomping circumstances

525
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 4: in the offseason, the drama in just getting Aaron Rodgers there,

526
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 4: the hard knock situation, and you can't even make it

527
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 4: off the field after four plays, and this happens. It's

528
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: it really is devastating, and to your guys' point, and

529
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 4: not only sucks for the New York Jet fans, but

530
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: it sucks for us, for the national fans of the people,

531
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 4: fans of the NFL who were really intrigued to see

532
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 4: where this will go. Whether you loved or hated Aaron Rodgers,

533
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: he was at least must watch TV. And now the

534
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 4: Jets are basically what the Jets were last year, a

535
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: good defensive team with god knows what happened at the

536
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: quarterback position.

537
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I'm big on curses. I'll tell you about it. Man, real,

538
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: at least my grandmother said that we're real. Huh, But dude,

539
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: I just can't believe fake.

540
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: Do me favorit? Hit us with some trendy all.

541
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: Right, well, star with some Major League Baseball from Friday

542
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 4: night with the Dodgers their magic number to clinch the

543
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 4: NL West lower to two after they beat Seattle six

544
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 4: to three. Got home runs there for Miguel Rojas and

545
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 4: James Outman. The loss kept the Mariners a game and

546
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 4: a half behind Houston in the American League West. Texas

547
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 4: was curved on by Cleveland twelve to three. The Astros

548
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: did lose four to two in Kansas City. Arizona tied

549
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: with Cincinnati for the final NL wildcard after beating the

550
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 4: Cubs six to three. Shown is at the second wildcard spot.

551
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 4: There four games behind the Phillies for the top spot.

552
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 4: Phillies defeated the Cardinals five to four. You had victories

553
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 4: for Toronto, Milwaukee and Tampa Bay, who defeated Baltimore seven

554
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 4: to one. Those teams are tied to top the American

555
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 4: League East. Tigers all over the Angels eleven to two.

556
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 4: The big story out of Anaheim star Shoheo Tiny's locker

557
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 4: was cleaned out after the game. The team said it

558
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 4: would have an explanation on Saturday. And in college football,

559
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 4: Maryland defeated Virginia forty two to fourteen. Air Force and

560
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 4: Army with victories as well. Back to the fellas, Oh,

561
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 4: what do you make of that tonic situation?

562
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: That that's weird to me? Like, I don't think you

563
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 3: get to have any sort of grace when it comes

564
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: to We'll give you an update later when you're talking

565
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: about the biggest sport and the star in the sport

566
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: and you're talking about somebody that's been speculated on this

567
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 3: much like we'll give you an update later. Is not

568
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 3: like again, I'm gonna go back to that relationship you've

00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: ever been in when you come in you like if

570
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 3: you came in at four in the morning and you're

571
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 3: drunk and nobody knew you were going out and your

Speaker 4: I will update you later, like let me know how

00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 4: that goes. Like that's the most angel thing ever. I'll

575
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 4: put it in the angels to a tee, I.

Speaker 4: angel I don't know what the angels are gonna say. Oh,

580
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 4: you know oblaque injury hasn't played the last eleven games.

581
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: We knew he couldn't pitch. We don't want to cause

582
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: any further damage. If I honestly think shoey Otani said,

583
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: I'm done with this place, get me out of here.

584
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: I'm not coming back, clean out my locker. I can leave.

585
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,920

593
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: do you think when you get back to the Jets,

594
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: should you go out and get a quarterback? They're already

595
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: rumors surrounding Cousins. Would you go and would you go

596
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: after Kurk Cousins? Yeah?

597
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: I would. You know. Actually I threw a different name

598
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: in the other day on one of my shows on

599
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: y'all who I threw in?

600
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: You know?

601
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: Tannehill? Like the Titans have told you repeatedly that they're

602
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: out on Tannehill. I don't think he's great, but is

603
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: he good enough with the great team to go in

604
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: and win?

605
00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

606
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: I think can put up numbers if I'm the Jets

607
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: aggressive Like for me, I need somebody that will come

608
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: in for a year or two and somebody that will

609
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: have I mean, you want to talk about a star

610
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: that can come in, or a player that can come

611
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: in right now, that's in the league, that is able

612
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: to come in and play right away and be effective

613
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 3: and also wants to show the rest of the league

614
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: that they got something left in the tank. It's a

615
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: great place to go do it right because you're gonna

616
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: look good as a quarterback playing in that offense. And

617
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: if you're the Jets, you need to be overly aggressive

618
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: because of the window you're in. So now, even though

619
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: it would never make sense to give up a first

620
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 3: round draft pick for Kirk Cousins, it would never make

621
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: sense to do that for Ryan Tannehill. I don't know

622
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: I'd overpay. And if I'm the other team that I

623
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 3: think the Vikings have told you they're quietly rebuilding their

624
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: entire roster, that the Titans have told you two straight

625
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: years by drafting a quarterback, they're out on Tannehill. So

626
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: none of them are in love with them. So just

627
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: go out there and overpay, like this is one of

628
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: those Yeah, you just go out there and give the

629
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: farm up. Just go out there and get you a couquarterback.

630
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: No, I think you're spot on. I like Tanneha. That's

631
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: a great name because yeah, you're in that situation. He's

632
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: the perfect kind of stop gap. And he's a guy

633
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: that you know that you got a strong running game

634
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: and you know you get play action and it'll hurt

635
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: you like he's you know, he'll he can move a

636
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: little bit. He's a guy that is first of all,

637
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: it's a great name. And I think he's a guy

638
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: that you can win with. He's he's good enough that

639
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: you can win with him. Like without what else is

640
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: out there, it's not a lot. I mean, you know

641
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, like, do you go that route? I don't

642
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: think so. I think he's a he's a shell. He's

643
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: a shell what he's been ever since. So he's been

644
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: in three different teams. So I agree. I think you guys,

645
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: we'll get a proven quarterback.

646
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: Also, there are very few teams today in the NFL

647
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: that would trade for tanne Hiller, cousins or any of

648
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: them where the fan base would just be a static

649
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: willing to throw parades for that guy. This I can

650
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: come in and be a savior. Right Like most fan

651
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: bases wouldn't be doing cartwheels in the streets to acquire

652
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehil. The Jets would right so it's a win

653
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: for the player, it's a win for the locker room.

654
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: Instead of just getting a veteran that's going to come

655
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: in and back up Zack Wilson. Let's be real, you

656
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: need to get in somebody that can continue to teach

657
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 3: Zack Wilson because whatever you thought that Zack Wilson was

658
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: going to need a year or two to learn, he

659
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: still needs that. He needs that time, he needs to

660
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 3: learn that. If you believe at all that Zack Wilson

661
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: can be your long term starter, then you need to

662
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 3: bring in somebody so that he's not on the field

663
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: right now because you already told him you didn't think

664
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: he was ready, and I don't believe that a few

665
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: months of hanging out next to Aaron Rodgers suddenly changed

666
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: that timeline by two years.

667
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I completely agree with you. He's that

668
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: kid's not ready. He's solid. I mean, he can't come

669
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: in and what you do is just further just crush

670
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: his spirit because he's not going to win for you

671
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: and all that pressure. All right, let me throw some

672
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: other names at you and you guys, Fike, you can

673
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: give me a E or an EU, all right, because

674
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: that's all that's really left other than trading. So you're

675
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: your free option free agent options Wentz Nope, I don't

676
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: even know that's an e.

677
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: Or Nick Foles, Yeah.

678
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy, Joe Flacco, Matt Barkley.

679
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, if you're relying on Matt Barkley to

680
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: save your season, then just just stop. Just just admit

681
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 3: that the damage is done.

682
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: I just put Dalvin Cooking Breeze haul back there and

683
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 4: just run the single wing all year long.

684
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: Might as well do that.

685
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Yeah, you're thrown out.

686
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: I mean I don't hate Matt Ryan. Do we hate

687
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan? I don't.

688
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 4: With a two guys point, with all the weapons around you,

689
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 4: I'm still quite the offensive line is still a little

690
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 4: questionable for from Maddie.

691
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: Ice, who's ah, you know badly.

692
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that will be that might be an.

693
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: Issue for him and the Ice path.

694
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, I mean, Chad, Henny Gross all right, Tradable

695
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: some other names other than cousins of Daniel uh k

696
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: Keenum m m M.

697
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't hate that. I mean,

698
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 3: like case Keenum is I mean, I don't know. I

699
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 3: never really understood how kse Keenum was sucessful as he

700
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: was because he's certainly nothing about him. When you look

701
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: at him in the room, you aren't like, oh, that's

702
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback in the NFL. But it's worked before,

703
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 3: so maybe.

704
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: Red rifle that Andy Dalton. Oh man, can you imagine?

705
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: I got nothing? But that's laughable.

706
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 3: Could you imagine you want to talk about fan bases

707
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 3: going nuts? Could you imagine the Bengals with Joe Burrow

708
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 3: suddenly can't get out of the AFC because Patrick Mahomes

709
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: is just being Patrick Mahomes. The Bengals are sitting there,

710
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: and then Bengals fans have to watch Andy Dalton turn

711
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 3: around and win a Super Bowl.

712
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: With the Jets.

713
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 3: That is god, you know what? Never mind, we've come to.

714
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: This is what I need in my life.

715
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this.

716
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: The level of trolling. I didn't know you talk about curses.

717
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 3: If the curse of the Jets is solved by the Bengals,

718
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: oh my god, we've created something. We are It's hard.

719
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, let's say quick too, will

720
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: come right back where the fellas right here on Fox

721
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Well, welcome back, Fellas from the Taia rack

722
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: dot Com Studios, Jason Fitz, I'm Anthony Gargano, Figgi hang

723
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: on my boy Shay and Mighty Mark, and she had

724
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: a great idea. We're just talking about heartbreak and just

725
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: the death knell to fan base is fitcy right, Like, So,

726
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: what was your worst stroke of bad luck? Because I'm

727
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: telling you, I know Figure was joking about it, but

728
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: curses exist, like there's bad stuff in the universe that

729
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: for a period of time you will get no luck.

730
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: So give me your most unluckiest moment as a fan base,

731
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: because I think you have a few.

732
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 3: Look, I could go down the list. I mentioned the

733
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 3: heartbreak of Derek Carr getting hurt recently, but by far

734
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 3: when you look at the Raiders and a pinpoint moment

735
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 3: that luck that the team became essentially cursed, and it's

736
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: partially my fault. I'm going to take ownership of this.

737
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: We all remember the tuck rule, and I remember where

738
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 3: I was. I was dating this girl and I was

739
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: in her house and with her parents who were super

740
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: religious and like very very like didn't understand sports at all.

741
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 3: So and my language can be fouled during a football game.

742
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: I'm the first to admit that. So I watched it

743
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 3: all go down, and I was being respectful, so I

744
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: couldn't say anything. And I just sat in the chair

745
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 3: and I knew I was beat red, but I couldn't

746
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: yell because they wouldn't have approved of that. And I

747
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 3: just remember the mom looking at me and being like, what,

748
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: It's just a game. I don't understand why you're so upset.

749
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 3: Right after the tuck roll happened, By the way, that

750
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: was the end of that relationship. But the more important

751
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: thing is I remember that era where the Raiders for

752
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 3: a few years have been very good, and every year

753
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 3: they weren't making it out of the playoffs. And I

754
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 3: remember looking at my buddy after the tuck rule and

755
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 3: after the Super Bowl loss and all of that. I

756
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 3: remember looking at my buddy and saying, man, We've been

757
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 3: so close for the last several years. I'd rather not

758
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 3: even make the playoffs than deal with this heartbreak at

759
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 3: the end of the year every year that's coming in

760
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 3: a championship game or a Super Bowl. Then the Raiders

761
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 3: lost double digit games for thirteen straight years. I blame

762
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 3: myself for that, like I actually put that juju, like

763
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: the football god said, okay, prove it. How do you

764
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: feel about it? So it's my fault, But the Tuck

765
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: rule is really the defining moment of the worst luck

766
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 3: ever that I can ever possibly a rule nobody knew existed,

767
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: haunting my franchise.

768
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: Well, Fig, you're a Raider fan, would you agree that

769
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: that would be your lowest moment? We actually know a

770
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: dear friend of ours, not a friend of mine, friend

771
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: of ours, was actually on the field during the talk crawl,

772
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: the great Laking Kennedy, and it would haunt him, like

773
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: haunt him, Fig, would that be your lowest moment?

774
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 2: Easily one percent?

775
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 4: I know exactly where I was too, and I yelled

776
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 4: out an expletive, and I was my mom gave me

777
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 4: one of those what'd you say from the other rooms,

778
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 4: and I was like, Ma, you don't get it, you

779
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 4: don't understand this is this is deaf to me. And

780
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 4: then only then the teas to make it so much

781
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 4: worse as they get back, they get to the Super

782
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 4: Bowl the next year and just get worked over by

783
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: John Gruten and Tampa Bay. That is just but you

784
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 4: know what, at least Jason, at least for me, the

785
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 4: way I looked at it is like, you know what

786
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 4: they got run off the field. I'd rather lose that

787
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 4: way than lose like on the last second field goal

788
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 4: or something. I'd rather just know that I wasn't the

789
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 4: better team and something bad happened that day.

790
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'd rather lose that way.

791
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 3: I remember fifty one to three AFC Championship game when

792
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 3: I was a kid against Buffalo. That doesn't make me cry.

793
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: But the tuck rule, like, oh man, and the fact

794
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: that they replay it is the greatest snow games, greatest, greatest,

795
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: Like the NFL network just like about every three weeks

796
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 3: wants to just kick me in the no no places

797
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: with the tuck rule all year long, doesn't matter.

798
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're masters in that.

799
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:49,520

00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 3: How do we fix it? That's what I like because

823
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't I don't disagree with you. I think sometimes

824
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 3: you just hit that patch as as somebody that's been

825
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: in that patch of fandom for the majority of the

826
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: last twenty years. I'm just trying to figure out what

827
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 3: the hell I need to do to turn that thing around.

828
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 3: Like if there's a like a special you know, voodoo

829
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 3: person I can see, or if there's like a special

830
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: doll I can buy, or like special therapist, I can go.

831
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: Right there. So it was actually she was a dear

832
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: dear She was like his second mother. Her name was

833
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: Eda Prattaro, my buddy Vinnie's mother. Now she was from Collabrea.

834
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: Now Eda knew how to take the curses off. First

835
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: there was a test and it had to do with

836
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: coffee beans and olive oil. And if you had the

837
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: curse of you, they called it the molochio. And if

838
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: you had the molloqs on you, the molochio, you would

839
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: her eye, she would tear. And then there was a

840
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: whole like prayer and who knows what you know, She's

841
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: making all kinds of gestures and speaking in this old

842
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: ancient dialect and that usually would work.

843
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: Well, God rest yoursaults. She passed on.

844
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: Like Starbucks has like a new line of coffee I

845
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 3: haven't tried yet that has like theo or whatever in

846

Speaker 1: Turtle right, and he loved He had turtle tatoo like

924
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: before everybody got inked up, like when nobody had tattoos.

925
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: My man had like fifteen turtle tattoos across his body

926
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: like he was. He was like a cop who played

927
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: uh softball with gangsters, like real mob guys.

928
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: They were all friends. They grew up together.

929
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: He gets gets kicked off the force and becomes a

930
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: bartender in the FOP. He was a guy that was

931
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: so like if you needed anything that you shouldn't need,

932
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: he was the guy like he was a bartender and

933
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: knew everything like they One time they came to arrest

934
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,080

935
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: outstanding tickets parking tickets because he put the car in

936
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:25,320

937
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: that Lou Turtle did, they would you be like what

938
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: and of course he would know Joe mcgot so that's

939
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: kind of how that all happened. That's this bar so whatever.

940
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 3: I grabbed this piece of paper and I started writing

941
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 3: down as you were going through the story, because I'm

942
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 3: just imagining walking into a bar sometime and I got,

943
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 3: you know, cousins like hey, guys fits fits meet Joe,

Speaker 3: Ben Lou Turtle, Josie the Dog, and Joe mcgoach Like

945
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 3: I like, again, I'm writing this stuff down on my hand,

946
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 3: I'm trying to say, and then like if I'm meeting

947
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 3: Josie the Dog, like, there's just a way you deliver

948
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,440

964
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: We had the greatest time. It was Christmas Eve and

965
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: Joe Ben met Big Link. Big Link was was doing

966

00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: is has family in Hirisburg, which is not far away.

969
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: So Big Link in his uncle came to my house

970
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: for Christmas. I do a big Christmas Eve dinner. So

971
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: I cook all the fish and all the pasta and

972
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: I do everything. And so Big Link came over and

973
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: we were watching the game and hanging out. He's the best,

974
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: you know, and then you know Big Link six eight,

975
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: you know, three fifty six eight.

976
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: I was gonna say you like, I'm like, you had

00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,000

Speaker 3: big boy for sure, like he's he was mammoth man.

980
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, I had such great joy feeding Link. I'm like, brother,

981
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: come on, man, I got mother pot mother ball for it.

982
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: He loved him, he was just you know, it was

983
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: the best. You know, so we'll do that. We got

984
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: to do that when when one fell his hangout, it

985
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: would be great. I would, I would absolutely love it.

986
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: So let me, let's let's talk about college football today

987
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: because it's not a great card. So it's it's it's

988
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: amazing because Prime steals Week three again, it's all about

989
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: Prime and it's Colorado State.

990
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 3: That's the craziest part. Like I cannot believe that game

991
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 3: day is flocked to Colorado, Colorado State, like I would

992
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 3: if you told me in a couple of weeks like

993
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 3: USC is going to Colorado State, going to Colorado, that's

994
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 3: going to be, you know, an epic, huge moment. I

995
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 3: can understand that this is Colorado Colorado State. Like this

996
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 3: is a sort of game that not only isn't usually

997
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 3: on the radar, it's barely making anybody's attention, Like from

998
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 3: a national TV perspective, right, Like, when you start thinking

999
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 3: about the conversation, if we were cutting highlights for a

1000
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 3: college football show, most years, at the end of the night, Colorado,

1001
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 3: Colorado State wouldn't even make the highlights show. There are

1002
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 3: so few people interested. And now all of a sudden,

1003
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 3: we live in this world where people are flocking to

1004
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 3: the location because they want Every celebrity is going to

1005
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 3: be their game days there. ESPN and McAfee have been

1006
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 3: there for days, right, Like, you look at these things

1007
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 3: that they're doing, it just shows you the poll of

1008
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 3: Dion and this is this isn't going to go anywhere.

1009
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that every national pre college football

1010
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 3: show is going to try and find a way to

1011
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 3: get there over the course of the next few weeks.

1012
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 3: And by the way, we live in a world like

1013
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 3: this is the two worlds of college football. Now we've

1014
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: got everybody paying attention to Dion, which is one thing,

1015
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 3: and then on the other side, like today is actually

1016
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 3: Tennessee Florida, which for decades was a meaningful matchup that

1017
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 3: people would pay attention to, and now like because Florida

1018
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 3: is not very good, nobody cares, right, So we live

1019
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 3: in this strange world where there's an SEC matchup that

1020
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 3: used to rock college football that is barely a blip

1021
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 3: on the radar and Dion is going to be the

1022
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 3: only thing we're paying attention to for most of the day.

1023
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: It's wild. I mean, it's a great point to when

1024
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: you think about it Tennessee Florida and you go, oh, yeah,

1025
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: that's right, and it's it's bizarre, it really is. And

1026
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, I love to me world's right when

1027
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: certain teams are good and University Florida is one of them,

1028
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: Like I needed them to be deep. I can't have

1029
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: them being horrendous, you know what I'm saying, Like I

1030
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: need them to be a factor. I'm not saying they

1031
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: canna get to win championships, but I got to have them,

1032
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: you know, be formidable.

1033
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 3: This this still becomes one of the things that for

1034
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 3: all the conversation about expansions starting next year and the

1035
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 3: movement from conference to conference, the more big teams that

1036
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 3: we find in the SEC and the Big Ten, the

1037
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 3: one issue that I don't think people have really thought

1038
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 3: about is that there will be less teams that are

1039
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 3: capable of being great year in and year out, Like

1040
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 3: is Florida now going to be a middle of the

1041
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 3: road program that every once in a while pops up

1042
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 3: and wins the SEC East. And if that's the case,

1043
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 3: is Florida, Is Florida Tennessee really going to have that

1044
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 3: same meeting like it needed years of Spurrier versus Fulmer, right,

1045
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 3: like it needed years of great players, you know, the

1046
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 3: t bows coming through the world. Tennessee, it's at number

1047
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 3: eleven right now. And because Florida is not good enough,

1048
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 3: the matchup just doesn't have any juice. And I think

1049
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 3: that's going to be more and more the case across

1050
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 3: all of these super conferences. The teams that for years

1051
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 3: and rivalries for years that had juice just won't because

1052
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 3: those teams are going to be middle of the road

1053
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 3: teams in general. So like you know, games involving some

1054
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 3: of these teams just are going to fall flat if

1055
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 3: everybody's carrying four or five losses a year.

1056
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, look, you know it's kind of

1057
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: the Nebraska effect, right, I mean you look at them,

1058
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: and that's what happened. All of a sudden, the Nebraska

1059
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: goes away. That's going to take I think Matt will

1060
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: get Matt rule will get it back. But it's going

1061
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: to take him a bit, as you see, I mean,

1062
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: you gotta get a quarterback. I mean, it's going to

1063
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: take them a while to try to come back on that.

1064
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: On the in the nation's arms. I mean, I look

1065
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: at it. I think you're right between nil and portals

1066
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: and everything else, that there's such sweet change in like

1067
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: these story programs, it's just recruiting changes, right, So the

1068
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: dissemination the talent changes completely.

1069
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 3: Well, and think about just in general. It used to

1070
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 3: be as long as it was a conference matchup, people cared,

1071
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 3: and I think in a modern attention span world that

1072
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 3: just doesn't happen anymore. You're totally right. I think the

1073
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 3: number that I saw the other day was that the

1074
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 3: top forty recruits went to nineteen schools this year, as

1075
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 3: opposed to only twelve schools five years ago. So it

1076
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 3: shows you that talent spreading out more and more and more,

1077
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 3: which could make things interesting in ways like we could

1078
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 3: have a Colorado situation every year. But it's just a

1079
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 3: weird world to live in where like LSU Mississippi State,

1080
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 3: nobody really cares like you can go up and down

1081
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 3: like you would think most years, at least North Carolina

1082
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 3: Minnesota would give us two ranked teams, and it hasn't

1083
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 3: like so that matchup doesn't really have any juice to it.

1084
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 3: Like across the board, it is a really soft week

1085
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 3: in college football and that's thank God for Dion because

1086
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 3: if it wasn't for coach Prime, Like, I don't know

1087
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 3: what the big story is that everybody would be focusing

1088
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 3: on this week.

1089
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're you're a spot on. All right, let's

1090
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 2: do this.

00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: Let's get a quick time out when I want to

Speaker 3: my life to have a bunch of golden platinum records.

1106
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: From the Van Perry Tim McGraw record, I played on

1107
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 3: a Matchbox twenty record, I played on a Grammy from

1108
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 3: Michael W. Smith record. So yeah, I was lucky enough

1109
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 3: to live the dream. And every time I'm lucky enough

1110
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 3: to get in the car and hear a song on

1111
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 3: that I played on, it always makes my heart happy.

1112
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,320
Speaker 3: It was a very lucky life that I was blessed

1113
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 3: to have for a long time. So I don't miss

1114
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 3: the music business, but I'm glad that I was able

1115
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 3: to make the impact that I made in it.

1116
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: That's a great song. I'm listening to you too, like

1117
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm just listening to play man. It's just great stuff.

1118
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: It's funny because a little inside the radio type of thing.

1119
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: So Muddy Mark is telling me, you know, Mike's op,

1120
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 1: which means my mic is on. But I'm not saying

1121
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: anything because I want to listen to the song because

1122
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: this song is great and I'm listening to you play

1123
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: on it, and I'm going, wow, man, you know that's

1124
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: just unbelievable.

1125
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 3: It was you know, I'll never frascate.

1126
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: Can you play that again, Mark, could you play that again?

1127
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: Can I get more of that? Please?

1128
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 3: Look at that. We're calling it back, We're getting we're

1129
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 3: getting doubles here.

1130
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just need to I need to digest it,

1131
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: all right. So I want you to tell me as

1132
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: you're recording this, like what's going through your what's tell

1133
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: us about it?

1134
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 3: Don't screw it up? Like what's going through your mind

1135
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 3: most of the time is don't screw it up? Right, Like, Uh,

1136
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 3: the funny thing is, when you go in to make

1137
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 3: a record, there's there's so many eyeballs there, and like

1138
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 3: they call it red light syndrome for a lot of people.

1139
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: But when you're recording, the red light comes on. You

1140
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 3: got to find a way to play it in a

1141
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 3: way that just sort of resonates with everybody you know,

1142
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 3: and you don't there's this thought like they think that

1143
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 3: bands sit there for a month practicing before they go

1144
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 3: in the studio. Usually they don't like so you hear

1145
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 3: the little work tape and you're like, all right, let's

1146
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 3: go in and play this thing. So you know, there's

1147
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 3: not this moment it's very fresh when you're playing it.

1148
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 3: You haven't a lot of times you've never played it before,

1149
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 3: so you're just coming in and saying, hey, this is

1150
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 3: off the top of my head. What feels good?

1151
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: So right here?

1152
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So it's a it's it's funny usually, like

1153
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm laughing because usually If I Die Young was sort

1154
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 3: of the biggest what was the biggest song for the

1155
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 3: record for the band? That's the one that people usually pull.

1156
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 3: I haven't heard Hip to My Heart in a long time.

1157
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 3: So and then the next trick, you know, frankly above

1158
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 3: me on all of that, is when you're touring, how

1159
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 3: do you play it like it's the first time you've

1160
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 3: played it and it's your three hundred show in a year,

1161
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 3: you know, like I.

1162
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: Probably because everybody can't wait for it, whether town you

1163
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: go it to.

1164
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I remember my first concert when I

1165
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 3: was a kid was bon Jovi skid Row open for him,

1166
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 3: and I remember watching Richie Sambor, the guitar player for

1167
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 3: bon Jovi. He exploded on stage right and I remember

1168
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 3: sitting in the crowd thinking, Oh my god, that's coolest

1169
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 3: moment in the world. And I was like eleven years old,

1170
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 3: And I always thought to myself when I was standing

1171
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 3: on stage, like there was some kid that had never

1172
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 3: seen a concert before. It's out there, and if I

1173
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: die young has like I was lucky. If I die young,

1174
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 3: better dig two done. They all had huge fiddle solos

1175
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 3: on them. So I had these moments to make impact.

1176
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 3: And when I was exhausted and just didn't feel like

1177
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 3: playing the same set for the thousandth time the number

1178
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 3: of times, I think, yeah, but like, I'll certainly never

1179
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 3: be as cool as Richie Sambora, but tonight maybe I

1180
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 3: could impact an eleven year old kid like he did me.

1181
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 3: So that was all Like the hardest part is in

1182
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 3: that studio.

1183
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: To me, you played a fiddle. Man, That's just that's unbelievable.

1184
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: Well thanks, man, that's just awesome. I mean, wow, I

1185
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: appreciate it.

1186
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 10: Did you know the fiddle is just a violin? Yes, Okay,

1187
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 10: A lot of people don't know that.

1188
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: No, I did know that.

1189
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 3: People always ask me the difference between the two instruments.

1190
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 3: My answer is who's paying the bill. If it's an

1191
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 3: orchestra you're playing for, they're like, oh, grab your violin,

1192
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 3: and if it's a band, they're like, grab your fiddle.

1193
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 3: And now you know that's for sure same same thing.

1194
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 3: But it is funny because.

1195
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful sound. Man, it's that instruments, it's you know,

1196
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: it's incredible.

1197
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 3: Thanks man, I appreciate it. And you know what, we'll

1198
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 3: get the Fellaws up to Philly sometime to eat and

1199
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 3: then we'll get the Fellas down like next time I'm

1200
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 3: sitting in like I think I'm gonna sit in with

1201
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 3: my buddy Chris yelling to play the opery at some point,

1202
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 3: so we'll get the Fellas down there. Like we'll have

1203
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 3: a little un I would.

1204
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Love to do that. I'd never you know, if that's

1205
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: something it's funny because I did not. I'm not musically inclined,

1206
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: and it's you know, that's that's one of those where

1207
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: you go I just I admire, admire. I mean I

1208
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: like to write, right, so that's my creativeness. I like

1209
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: to sketch. So people that play music and have that

1210
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: kind of ear I just didn't admire. I just think

1211
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: it's beautiful.

1212
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 3: Man. Well, I can't to comfort you on the sketching

1213
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 3: like this. When I was a little kid, I mean

1214
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 3: little kid, but I was lucky enough. I got into

1215
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 3: Juilliard when I was very young as a violinist, and

1216
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 3: I was still going to public school while I was

1217
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 3: going to Julliard. And I'll never forget my parents. I

1218
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 3: came home from music class and I'd gotten like a whatever,

1219
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 3: like a C minus or something in music. My mom's

1220
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 3: just losing Like, how is it possible that you're going

1221
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 3: to Julliard and you got a bad grade in your

1222
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 3: music class. And it's because we were doing these reports

1223
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 3: on different you know, famous composers, and you had to

1224
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 3: color in the front of it, like this art project.

1225
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 3: And I can't color in the lines, and so my

1226
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 3: teacher thought I was being like blatantly disrespectful by like

1227
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 3: not like so I can't. So it's funny. For all

1228

1229
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,720

1231
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 3: the lines, I have to like carefully trace and then

1232
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 3: carefully color. I'm the worst art person in the world,

1233
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 3: So look, you got to skial that on him.

Speaker 2: Back to the fellas, I can figure.

1265
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: With your your greatest gifts other than being a great.

1266
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 4: Sport, I am not the most talented person when it

1267
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 4: comes to I guess I would say it'll be writing

1268
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 4: as well. But even even then, it's not not the

1269
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 4: muscle that I've really worked recently. It's sure as hell

1270
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 4: an music, I'll tell you that. So the only thing

1271
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 4: I did I played. I played the recorder, which was

1272
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 4: like was required for fifth graders back in the day,

1273
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,919
Speaker 4: and I barely did enough to get by there.

1274
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 2: So I am not musically inclined at all.

1275
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 3: And that's okay. You know, if everybody was musically inclined,

1276
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have had a gig. That's the way.

1277
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's that's the way I gotta look

1278
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 2: at it. I was half decent that guitar hero. Does

1279
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 2: that count for anything?

1280
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 3: Oh that's cool, So I love me some guitar guitar hero.

1281
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 3: For a while was like meditation because like you can

1282
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 3: just zone out and you know, yeah, I love me

1283
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 3: some guitar hero. I'm all in on that.

1284
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 4: Come on now, now, do real musicians actually get upset

1285
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 4: when people like they act like they're the greatest of

1286
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 4: all time when it comes to guitar heroes, Like, oh yeah,

1287
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 4: I can really riff and play this track. It's so easy,

1288
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 4: and it's like, dude, you're you're pressing four buttons is

1289
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 4: completely legit. Yeah, fine, fine, show guitar he is legit,

1290
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 4: But don't sit here, and don't sit trying to act

1291
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 4: like you're Jimmy Hendrix is a problem.

1292
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: And a lot of people back in the day did.

1293
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 3: Okay, But there is some level of of I don't know,

1294
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 3: I feel I feel like most of us all pretend

1295
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 3: that we're rock odds when we can, so, like, I

1296
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 3: think there's some some commonality that like the fact that

1297
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 3: you have to like throw the guitar up to get

1298
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 3: the the whatever the extra points. You know, like everybody

1299
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 3: nobody just like moves the guitar neck. Everybody's like, wow,

1300
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 3: suddenly you become like Slash or something. Yeah, there's a

1301
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 3: commonality we all share in that, like you never stop

1302
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 3: wanting to be a rock star.

1303
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: That is true. It's fabulous. Where the fellas, and we're

01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,440

1309
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: of college football today. And there's not a lot of

1310
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: ton of great matchups. So I want to kind of

1311
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: go through the teams and I want you to tell

1312
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: me when it comes to well, can they make the playoff?

1313
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 2: Can they win a national championship?

1314
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: Are they real or are they for gayzy meaning that

1315
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: they're not that good and they're not a serious contender.

1316
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: So I'll start and then I'll start with you, FITZI,

1317
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: and then fig you go ahead. We'll start with Florida

1318
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: State noon against Boston College. Florida State obviously the number

1319
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: one team in the country real or for Gayze.

1320
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Florida State's real number three, Yeah, number three, but

1321
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 3: they frankly they should be number one because they're the

1322
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 3: only team that's played anybody. I know that they beat

1323
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 3: Southern Miss last week, which isn't much, but their offenses

1324
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 3: firing on all cylinders, and they have defense just for days.

1325
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 3: Like some of their playmakers on the defensive side of

1326
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 3: the ball are epic.

1327
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: Florida State's I mean they dominated LSU. I mean when

1328
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: you saw that, I mean that defense was your spot on, brother,

1329
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: that defense was wicked.

1330
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can get after almost anybody. And you know, look,

1331
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 3: we all know Georgia and in Michigan are gonna be fine,

1332
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 3: but they haven't played anybody yet, like we've seen enough.

1333
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 3: Like I'm all in on Florida State for sure.

1334
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 4: Big well, I've been tuting Florida State since the preseason.

1335
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 4: You know this because so I'm all over it. You know,

1336
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 4: talk about a team that took advantage of the transfer

1337
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 4: portal and bringing in guys that made immediate impact. Florida

1338
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 4: State has done it with the best of them, and

1339
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 4: you saw it on display in Week one against LSU,

1340
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 4: So absolutely Florida's for real.

1341
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 3: Also real quick, Remember it wasn't that long ago that

1342
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 3: people thought Mike Norvell was going to get fired after

1343
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 3: one season because he couldn't win that locker room. And

1344
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 3: now he's got a team that could very well win

1345
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 3: the national championship this year. So maybe we all need

1346
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 3: to cool our jets a little bit on year one

1347
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 3: with new coaches. That's just, you know, just a little

1348
01:06:58,640 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 3: reminder for everybody.

1349
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, we do. We are impatient. Uh, Penn State,

1350
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: who I'm big on because I love that drew a

1351
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Lar Penn State at Illinois today. Is Penn State real

1352
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: or for gayzy.

1353
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 3: I think Penn State's real. I think I'm with you.

1354
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 3: By the way, Lars played much better than I think

1355
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 3: people expected coming into it. And again we're talking about

1356
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 3: Penn State. The fat boys on Penn State are very good,

1357
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 3: so like, I trust that line on both sides. I

1358
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 3: think Penn State's gonna end up being a very good

1359
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 3: football team this year. I think that I think they're

1360
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 3: real to maybe sneak into the playoffs if things break

1361
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 3: their way.

1362
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: All right, don't mind the puppy. If you hear the

1363
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 1: puppy in the background at all. We have a new

01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: another one. We have a a sheepdoodle and he his

1376
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: name is Goo Goots and would so just just do

Speaker 1: the doggies are are are around, so I.

1379
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 3: Just look, I gotta give you credit because what I've

1380
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 3: never thought of when I named my dogs is like,

1381
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 3: what what's gonna yell? Well when you gotta get them?

1382
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 3: But like Goo Goots, just like you can you can

1383
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 3: yell that all the way across the lawn and like that. No, man,

1384
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 3: that's well done by you.

1385
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: That's that's that's my wife. She's like she named it.

1386
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: She named it, and it's all it means squash and

1387
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: Italian good goots.

1388
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 2: It actually means something that's.

1389
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: A vegetable gets a squash, I mean, but the way

1390
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: she says it's it's fanetic, like g A g O

1391
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: O t Z.

1392
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: It sounds like one of the boys, you're a hand

1393
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 2: out with that at the bar.

1394
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 3: That's the first this my bus, Like that's what I'm

1395
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 3: gonna give. I'm gonna find one of my plumpy friends

1396
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 3: and I'm going to give him the nickname Gogoots. And

1397
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 3: he's not even a squash, you know, like yeah, he's

1398
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 3: not even gonna know why it works though, because you go.

1399
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 2: Guzzi yo guts goots like I called.

1400
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 3: Him go Goots needed another nickname on it, like Gucci.

1401
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: But he's a great dog. But the two of that

1402
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: may fight like it's crazy. All right, I apologize, Figgy.

1403
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 1: Are you and you think Penn State is real?

1404
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1405
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: I do. I'm all in on Penn State. I wasn't

1406
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: on Penn State last year.

1407
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 4: They just had to get over the two hundred thousand

1408
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 4: foot of gorillas in front of him.

1409
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 2: Those are Michigan and Ohio State. Get over those humps

1410
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 2: you're in.

1411
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,959
Speaker 4: So they're absolutely contenders, and now they have a quarterback

1412
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 4: because some people are already saying could be the top

1413
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 4: prospect in next year's NFL draft, not this coming draft

1414
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 4: of the next one.

1415
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that kid. Man, he spins it.

1416
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 2: He's got a big arm. Man, he could throw it

1417
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 2: and he's not small.

1418
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 3: No, it's nice to finally like some of these look

1419
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 3: and nothing against Clifford the Dog, but he was there

1420
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 3: for like seventy two years and it just didn't given results.

1421
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 3: Like just like sometimes you just you look at a

1422
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 3: fan base, You're like, man, I feel happy for you

1423
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 3: guys that there's been a change at quarterback, right, Like

1424
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 3: it's just it was. I'm glad that they've got some

1425
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 3: electric play there at this point.

1426
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm with you, all right. So LSU back

1427
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: in action against Mississippi State. Can LSU kind of you know,

1428
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 1: obviously it's only one loss, but can LSU kind of

1429
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: put it all back together and get hot towards the

1430
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: end of the year and make some noise.

1431
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 3: Now, LSU's fugazy, just partially because I haven't gotten to

1432
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 3: say fugazy yet and I love that word, but also

1433
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 3: because look, Jayden Daniels is legit. I think Jayden Daniels

1434
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 3: is really good. But what we learned in that first

1435
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 3: matchup is that, like when I see trends carry over,

1436
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 3: that's what bothers me. And there were times last year

1437
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 3: that LSU's defense, it was supposed to be so good,

1438
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 3: gave up chunk plays and they gave up big yards,

1439
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 3: and we've seen it over and over again, and I

1440
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 3: just I don't know that they're coaching is what it

1441
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 3: needs to be to be competitive in that version of

1442
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 3: the West. So it's not just that they lost, it's

1443
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 3: that they lost in some of the same ways that

1444
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 3: they had weakness last year, even though last year was

1445
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 3: a good year for him. So I think LSU's like,

1446
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 3: are they a top twelve team? Yeah? But are they

1447
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 3: a national championship contender now? And that was the expectation,

1448
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 3: like could LSU get into the playoffs and get an addie.

1449
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 3: There's no chance in my mind that they're competitive with

1450
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 3: the big boys in that sense. So I'm gonna say

1451
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 3: they're for Gayzy.

1452
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 4: I agree for those same reasons. You got Ole Miss

1453
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 4: coming up here in about a month or so. You

1454
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,560
Speaker 4: have an Alabama who I think is going to be

1455
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 4: much improved by the time they roll around in November.

1456
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,759
Speaker 4: The same issues that played LSU last year. The defensive

1457
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 4: back field. What this is d DBU is supposed to

1458
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 4: be LSU. They have famous number seven. They don't have

1459
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 4: one back there this year. That's gonna be our problem

1460
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:09,600
Speaker 4: for them. So look, they can make it through the

1461
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 4: regular season with maybe a couple of losses and if

1462
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 4: things break their way, you know, maybe they make it

1463
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 4: to Atlanta again for the SEC championship game. But I

1464
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 4: don't necessarily see them beating Georgia in that situation.

1465
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna rush. That's not what happened.

1466
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Georgia crush.

1467
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 2: And that's even if they make it. That's if they

1468
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 2: make it there, which they may not. Yeah, No, I

1469
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 2: think you're I think they win today. You're at Mississippi State.

1470
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 2: They're a ten point fave, nine to a point favorite.

1471
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 3: Win. I think they win in the cover today, like

1472
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 3: I do tess you today. Just don't think long term.

1473
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: Yep, agreed, Agreed, all right? Utah we're at with Utah. Utah. Uh,

1474
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: like they get a cupcake today with the Weber State.

1475
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we don't know yet with Utah. Like

1476
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna have to lean one way or the other.

1477
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 3: They don't look as explosive as some of their some

1478
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:03,799
Speaker 3: of their Pack twelve compadres. But I think Utah looks okay,

1479
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 3: right like. We're still trying to figure out because it's

1480
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 3: interesting their quarterback went off last week, but run of

1481
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 3: the football, but what does that mean? They were playing

1482
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 3: a cupcake, right like. So it's just it's hard to

1483
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 3: tell with them. So I won't, you know, I won't

1484
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 3: say a cupcake necessarily, but it wasn't it wasn't a

1485
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 3: tough matchup for him. So I think Utah is in

1486
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 3: the category of pretty good but not great, right like.

1487
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 3: So they're not going to be explosive enough offensively to

1488
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 3: be able to get after USC compared to what USC

1489
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 3: can do. Like, they're a step behind where Organ is.

1490
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 3: So they're good, but they're maybe the third best team

1491
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 3: in their conference.

1492
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: Big your mixed for Pac twelve.

1493
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so what they did, and they're gonna start

1494
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 4: Nate Johnson, who was their star freshman after Bryson Barnes

1495
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 4: kind of struggled against Florida a little bit. They just

1496
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 4: dominated them defensively, and then last week struggled again and

1497
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 4: they're able to come back against Baylor.

1498
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 2: Now we don't know when they're gonna end up getting.

1499
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 4: You know, their quarterback back you know, and got injured

1500
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 4: in the Rolls Bowl, and he's been out the entire offseason,

1501
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 4: so make a difference. But their margin of error is

1502
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 4: very thin. As you mentioned, Jason, they don't have a

1503
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 4: lot of explosiveness offensively really outside of Nate Johnson, that quarterback,

1504
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 4: And unless they use them as a gadget guy, you know,

1505
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 4: that's it's gonna be tough sledding for them offensively. It's

1506
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 4: tough in today's day and age in college football, big

1507
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 4: boy college football, to win games seventeen to ten, you know,

1508
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 4: even twenty four to twenty one. As good as they

1509
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 4: are defensively, and that Pac twelve with all those great quarterbacks,

1510
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be tough to hold up.

1511
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 4: So for all those reasons, I'm gonna call them for

1512
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 4: Gayzy as a national title contender.

1513
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 3: Figure to double down on that for a second, Like

1514
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 3: when cam Riising comes back, it's different. We all know that,

1515
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 3: But also I just have a hard time presuming cam

1516
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 3: Raising comes back and just automatically say ooh, everything's great,

1517
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 3: like yeah, it takes a second to knock that rust

1518
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 3: off too, So you know, part of that is just

1519
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 3: they're just not as explosive as their their peers are

1520
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,719
Speaker 3: in their same conference. But yeah, I think Cam Rising

1521
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,640
Speaker 3: will make a difference for him. But they're they're a

1522
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 3: they're they're they're a good bowl team, but they're not

1523
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 3: a national championship contender.

1524
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 2: We'll come back and continue down the line.

1525
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: Real or for Gayzy, it's the fellas where as real

1526
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: as you get right here, Fox Sports ready, Wow, it's

1527
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,640
Speaker 1: not our boy, man, he's the best. Jason Fitz, I'm

1528
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:21,759
Speaker 1: Anthony Gargana, what a fella is? Figgy Shay and Marty

1529
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 1: Mark giving you all the all the love right here.

1530
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:27,839
Speaker 1: That's great stuff.

1531
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 3: The funny thing is, uh so your left hand on

1532
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 3: the violin is the one that you put down. It's

1533
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 3: your fingering hands what they call it, and it's the

1534
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 3: way that you you actually play the notes, you know,

1535
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:41,640
Speaker 3: And as that was playing like it's funny, each independent

1536
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 3: finger like I was still playing, like I know those

1537
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 3: songs so well. I played it so many times. I

1538
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 3: looked down and my hand was moving like I was

1539
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 3: still playing. It's kind of funny.

1540
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Ah, I could totally see that sure.

1541
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 3: And it's a I will never forget shout out to Houston.

1542
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 3: The Houston Rodeo. We at the time we set the

1543
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 3: attendance record of the Houston Rodeo. I think it was

1544
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 3: seventy five thousand people. And you wear these in ears

1545
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 3: that are molded when you play shows, so you can't

1546
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 3: hear the crowd at all, Like you can really only

1547
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 3: hear the music that's in your ears. You need to

1548
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 3: so you can play well. One of the only times,

1549
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 3: like the first time in my life I remember ever

1550
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 3: taking those out was that because I wanted to know

1551
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 3: what seventy five thousand I'd never played in front of

1552
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 3: that big of a crowd at the time, and I

1553
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 3: was like, man, I want to know what seventy five

1554
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 3: thousand people sound like. So when I think of that song,

1555
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 3: one of my favorite memories is actually Houston Rodeo in

1556
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 3: the middle of the field, like in all the dirt,

1557
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 3: and you took the ear out and I played the

1558
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 3: solo and I just stood there for what felt like

1559
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 3: a minute was probably fifteen seconds afterwards, just to listen

1560
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 3: to the crowd, and it was like one of those

1561
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 3: surreal moments you'll never forget.

1562
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 2: Very thankful for Houston.

1563
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: That's awesome man that scored a touchdown in a national

1564
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 1: championship game.

1565
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 3: I think that's why to that point when we always

1566
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 3: tell athletes act like you've been there before, I don't know.

1567
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,560
Speaker 3: I think so much about the sacrifice, at least in

1568
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 3: the music business that it took to get there. I

1569
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 3: always was like, act like you'll never get here before

1570
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 3: or get here again. Lact like this is the last

1571
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 3: day you'll ever stand on stage and just enjoy it

1572
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:05,959
Speaker 3: and soak it in. Like there's it's different for everybody,

1573
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,759
Speaker 3: but for me, like there was just such a moment

1574
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 3: of like you work your whole life, you sacrifice your

1575
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 3: whole life in this one moment is something that sticks

1576
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 3: with you forever.

1577
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that because you know, when we talk

1578
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: about celebrations and making big plays, and I don't know,

1579
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: I've never understood why people would would get along players

1580
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: for having, you know, reactions like I listen, if you're

1581
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,799
Speaker 1: down forty two to ten and you celebrate making a tackle.

1582
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: I agree that's a violation, But when you're showing exuberance

1583
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: and real emotion, I never have a problem with that stuff.

1584
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

1585
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and to that end. Like if I'm playing, if

1586
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm having a terrible concert, I'm not going to celebrate

1587
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 3: any of it, right, But if I'm having a good

1588
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 3: show and I have that moment, like I just think

1589
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 3: that there's some element of you score a touchdown. What

1590
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 3: we see as fans or people scoring touchdowns, what we

1591
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 3: don't think about is that person that just scored a

1592
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 3: touchdown and could be in that moment thinking about with

1593
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 3: their mom and dad and their grandparents and everybody else

1594
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 3: sacrifice to get him there and the entire thing that

1595
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 3: they gave up for so much of their life to

1596
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 3: get into that, and so like all of that emotion

1597
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 3: comes in, like my god, if we can't let the

1598
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 3: hard work be worth it, then what's the point of

1599
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 3: any of them?

1600
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: Exactly? I mean, I mean seriously, if you think about

1601
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: a fig you wind up. What people don't see is

1602
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: what fits you just talked about that all that work,

1603
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: all that training, like it's real. That stuff's real. That's

1604
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: kind of all that time that sweat and toil is real. Fake.

1605
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 4: That's why the outpouring of emotion isn't always a guy

1606
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 4: you know, fall into his knees and grind. It might

1607
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 4: be celebrating with a little bit of a dance or

1608
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 4: celebrating with his teammates. You know, you want to celebrate

1609
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 4: a giant milestone. Think of how hard these guys work

1610
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 4: just to make it into the NFL. Magic going the

1611
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 4: game when he touched down in a playoff game or something,

1612
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 4: and the difference that that makes, the impact that has

1613
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 4: you think of all the long roads you got to

1614
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 4: get there. But those are things like Jason has an artist.

1615
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 4: You obviously you know this. People don't know all the

1616
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 4: hours you put in behind the scenes. They just see

1617
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 4: the end result. They just say, oh, this guy is

1618
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 4: just so talented. One of the best things I've heard

1619
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 4: is like one of the worst things you can tell

1620
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 4: in artists that they're talented. It's not that they're not talented,

1621
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 4: but it discounts all the hard work they put in

1622
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 4: to be where they are.

1623
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Got. Yeah, that's a great point.

1624
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 3: That is a fact by you, And you're right. I mean,

1625
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 3: eight hours a day from the time I was eight

1626
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 3: until I was an adult practice and every day missing

1627
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 3: out on stuff. It was all worth it on moments

1628
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 3: like that for sure for me.

1629
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then you know, it goes back to we don't.

1630
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: We should never suppress that, never suppress their emotion. All right,

1631
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: we'll come back and get back to our college football countdown,

1632

1639
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 1: Football Saturday, Fitzi, Figgie, we got Mondy Mark Shay because

1640
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: as we we come, you alive on this Saturday looking

1641
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: at and it's one of those third week it's week

1642
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: three and this is not always historically you don't get

1643
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 1: the great big matchups, so this is kind of cupcake

1644
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: central today. FITZI.

1645
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 3: I'm an event on this one for a second, because sure,

1646
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 3: this really ticks me off, right, because this is where

1647
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 3: the NCAA should have stepped in at some point and

1648
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 3: started working with all the schools on schedules a long

1649
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 3: time ago. Like we learned during COVID that schedules can

1650
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 3: be changed last minute. So we know that they can

1651
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 3: if they need to schedule with less than I don't know,

1652
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 3: eight ten years notice, right, so we know that there

1653
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 3: can be more flexibility. And also somebody needs to come

1654
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 3: in for the greater good of the game sometimes and

1655
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 3: just talk to schools about spreading some of these bad

1656
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 3: weekends out because frankly, in my mind, last weekend, the

1657
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,640
Speaker 3: NFL went in and took everybody's thunder. Last weekend, the

1658
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 3: NFL came in and said, we are kings, we are

1659
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 3: what matters, and that's that's true. But if you're college football,

1660
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:12,600
Speaker 3: I would have made sure that week three, like it

1661
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 3: would be nice to have a scheduling zar that would

1662
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 3: come in and make sure that somebody was scheduling some

1663
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 3: level of greatness here.

1664
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:20,799
Speaker 2: It would flock everybody back.

1665
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 3: To it because like it's just it feels like such

1666
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 3: a lost weekend for the sport. And now I'm sure

1667
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 3: great if we get an unprecedented upset. You know, and

1668
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 3: I know die hards or you know, diehards are always

1669
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 3: gonna watch. This isn't always about die hards, Like die

1670
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 3: hard football fans are gonna watch, you know, the Jags

1671
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 3: play the Titans. But there's a reason they don't put

1672
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 3: Jags Titans on the first Monday night game of the year, right, Like,

1673
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 3: you have to sort of understand the sales pitch of

1674
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 3: all of this, and I think college football forgot the

1675
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 3: sales pitch and letting a weekend this flat happen right

1676
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 3: after the NFL took so much of their I.

1677
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 1: Think that your spot on, brother, I think your spot on.

1678
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: You gotta keep always keeping. I'm at a mouth a fairness.

1679
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: I'm sure they You know, when you think Tennessee Florida,

1680
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: you think it's going to be better, but this is

1681
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: where your schedules are. It's gotta knows better and says, well,

1682
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: Florida's in the middle of a down downturn. We got

1683
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: to do better than Tennessee Florida as our premier game.

1684
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,639
Speaker 2: That's why all.

1685
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: The juice is going on. Colorado, Colorado State, just because

1686
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: of Prime. He's gobbled up all the noise.

1687
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and now we've got a mad Prime that's

1688
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 3: going to come in, you know, with the whole sunglasses

1689
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 3: and hat thing that Jay Norvell comes out and says,

1690
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,799
Speaker 3: and all the Colorado guys are gonna take it personal.

1691
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 3: It's just m Colorado was already drastically better than Colorado

1692
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 3: State anyway, so you know this was already going to

1693
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 3: be a slaughter. So it's funny because all the hype

1694
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 3: will be there before kickoff, but by halftime, unless there's

1695
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 3: some unprecedented result here, by halftime, that game will be boring,

1696
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 3: you know. And I think in fairness, Washington Michigan State

1697
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 3: is supposed to be the sort of game that we

1698
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 3: look forward to. But again, like Michigan, I.

1699
01:22:57,840 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: Think Washington blows you know, blows them out.

1700
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, to your point that you said earlier

1701
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 3: with Florida, this is the same sort of thing. You

1702
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 3: got to look at it and say, hey, let's let's

1703
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 3: stash that game somewhere else and maybe if we get

1704
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 3: a little surprised, that's nice. But you gotta have a landmark.

1705
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 3: You have to have a Monday night Sunday night football

1706
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 3: game every week on the schedule that people will get

1707
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 3: pumped for. And there's got to be a way to

1708
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 3: communicate with the schools and say, hey, let's make sure

1709
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 3: that you're the big national game this season. And maybe

1710
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 3: that can't be done until June, but it's worth it,

1711
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 3: if it's even if it's worth the chaos and when

1712
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 3: it creates scheduling wise to make sure you've got a

1713
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 3: landmark game every week.

1714
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: I agree, dude, you're spot on, man, think about this, right,

1715
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: because you have enough teams, you have enough, you know,

1716
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 1: you gotta have enough cachet that you got to have

1717
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: everybody in on a Saturday night and everybody in on

1718
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: a three thirty. You know, the new, big new kickoff

1719
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: that Fox does. I mean, I like it, but I

1720
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: always think like it should be a little bit later on,

1721
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 1: Like I like the three thirty Eastern twelve thirty Pacific.

1722
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but if I'm looking at schedules,

1723
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 1: I love this stuff. Figure, I'll tell you, but I

1724
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: think three point thirty is always a better I think

1725
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:22,680
Speaker 1: at primetime night is always the best. But you know,

1726
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: three thirty better than the new nine am Pacific start.

1727
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 3: I mean, my god, there's a reason that that three

1728
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 3: thirty game was worth so much money when they started

1729
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 3: bidding it out, right, Like, yeah, people know that that's

1730
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 3: a that's a landmark game to watch, you know, So

1731
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 3: it just it takes somebody coming in and says, and again,

1732
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 3: I know college football diehards, and this is one of

1733
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 3: the hardest parts, Like I'm addicted to all of those,

1734
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 3: like Bar Rescue, kitchen nightmares. Yeah, yeah, shows like I

1735
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 3: love that stuff and I'll never forget. I was watching

1736
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 3: one episode, I think it was Bar Rescue, but I

1737
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 3: was watching one episode where he was changing everything and

1738
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 3: the manager said, Man, if you change all this stuff,

1739
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 3: we're gonna lose are regulars. And John Taffer's response was,

1740
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 3: if you had enough regulars, I wouldn't be here. I

1741
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 3: think you have to avoid from a sports standpoint, you

1742
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 3: have to avoid ever getting into the mindset of like, well,

1743
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 3: what what pleases our diehards, because the fact is your

1744
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 3: diehards are going to watch anyway. So my question is,

1745
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 3: if you are a barely a casual college football fan,

1746
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 3: what's the game today that's going to make you say, Hey,

1747
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 3: I want to go to the bar with my buddies

1748
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 3: and watch this football right? And I just don't think

1749
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 3: you know, we that God Coach Prime has turned to

1750
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 3: be turned into such a sensation. People will watch that,

1751
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,520
Speaker 3: but outside of it, there's just not a destination football

1752
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 3: game today and that that just feels weird for the sport.

1753
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah it does. And you and let's get back to

1754
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: it because you have a thing and you know, we

1755
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 1: were all all three of us love this sport, right,

1756
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: we love college football. And you know, part of part

1757
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: of what I love about college football is I love

1758
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: the culture of this great country. Like you'll go into

1759
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: the nooks and cranny and camp this is all over

1760
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: the place. There's a vibrancy about college football and how

1761
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 1: we celebrate and consume football on different campuses, different regions

1762
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: of the country is really awesome. Uh, And I love that.

1763
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: But it still needs to be on the field, right,

1764
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:21,560
Speaker 1: It still need You still need you know, bigger matchups

1765
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: that just elevate this stuff. And you also need you know,

1766
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 1: more characters, right, And that's why to your point about Prime,

1767
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 1: that's why Prime is such I mean, he gobbles up

1768
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,719
Speaker 1: all the noise because he's such a character.

1769
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1770
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 3: And with college sports, particularly basketball and football, I think

1771
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 3: we more and more programs are just defined by their

1772
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 3: head coach. Yeah, Prime, Prime is going to be there

1773
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 3: and be an attention grabber. Whether Clemson is good or

1774
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 3: not right now, we're not really sure, but we know

1775
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 3: that as long as Dabo speaks, people will listen, People

1776
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 3: are going to want to take a look at it. Saban,

1777
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 3: you know, made headline for the way he was talking

1778
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 3: to one of the callers that called in on his

1779
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 3: show this week. So, you know, these are the personalities

1780
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:10,719
Speaker 3: that drive the sport, you know. And it becomes interesting

1781
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 3: from Prime standpoint because what I'm trying to figure out now,

1782
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 3: the way money is flowing to coaches and the way

1783
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 3: ads are flowing to coaches. I just wonder if Prime

1784
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 3: has sort of opened the door for other dynamic individuals

1785
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:24,759
Speaker 3: that you know, former players, Like is a Michael Irvin

1786
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 3: looking around saying, well, I could coach and you know,

1787
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 3: my god, you want to pay me ten million dollars

1788
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 3: to coach plus another five or six million dollars in ads? Yeah,

1789
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 3: I make fifteen sixteen million bucks, build a good staff.

1790
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 1: That yeah, let me go to you and you know, yeah.

1791
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 3: How much would Miami pay to have Irvan like on

1792
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:42,759
Speaker 3: the on the sidelines and how much of a sensation

1793
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 3: would that be? So I just wonder if this sort

1794
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,759
Speaker 3: of opens the door for other athletes that are dynamic.

1795
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 2: We've seen it in basketball.

1796
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 1: I mean it's a great point, FITZI, because we saw

1797
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing, we saw Penny Hardaway, right, Penny goes to Memphis,

1798
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: Ewing goes to Georgetown, isn't that you know kind of

1799
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: where it's headed.

1800
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 11: Oh.

1801
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:09,759
Speaker 3: I went to a Memphis Yukon basketball game last season

1802
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 3: or a season before up here in Connecticut, and I

1803
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,719
Speaker 3: was stunned as I watched Penny just get mobbed before

1804
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 3: and after the game for pictures which he took. He

1805
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 3: stood around, took all the pictures and really hung out

1806
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 3: with people, and you know, you start thinking about what

1807
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 3: he means to Memphis. I've talked to the local radio

1808
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 3: station in Memphis for years. I do a weekly hit

1809
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 3: with them, and every week during non football season, it's

1810
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 3: something about Penny, like it just it resonates for that city.

1811
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 3: He helps that program make money like that, It's just

1812
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,640
Speaker 3: up and down the board. So you start thinking about

1813
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 3: you know, how many schools are looking at it saying, well,

1814
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 3: what I need to be right now? If I'm not

1815
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:49,759
Speaker 3: going to be great, I dang well sure better be relevant,

1816
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 3: right And a person like Prime makes you relevant. We've

1817
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 3: learned that, like, what's the cost of relevance? Boosters are

1818
01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 3: asking that question right now because if name, image, likeness,

1819
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 3: and transfer portal, they're going to let you rebuild your

1820
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 3: roster every single year. Man, you know, it's it's gonna

1821
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 3: be interesting to see if Dion can continue to replicate

1822
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 3: not just the success but the hype every year.

1823
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 1: Well, and the portal changes everything. Right, so now all

1824
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden you get a high profile coach. He's

1825
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: a magnet for the portal. Right, He's a guy that

1826
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 1: can do and replicate what Prime did and bringing in,

1827
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, build almost rebuilding your whole program overnight.

1828
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 2: Like that's that's very real.

1829
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 3: Which is why if I ran a school today, like

1830
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 3: which I'm not smart enough to do, but if I

1831
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 3: ran a college, I would have a name image likeness

1832
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 3: major established. I would let all my kids that want

1833
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 3: to be sports entertainment lawyers and agents and all those things.

1834
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 3: I'd start a whole program so that right now, like

1835
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 3: if I was recruiting, if I'm Prime, I can say, hey,

1836
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:56,559
Speaker 3: we got a whole program over here that's dedicated just

1837
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 3: to name image like this. We got kids that are

1838
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 3: learning how to be the best market in the world

1839
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 3: that will market for you. We got kids that are

1840
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:04,600
Speaker 3: learning how to be agents that will help you negotiate

1841
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 3: deals along with our professors will we will insulate name

1842
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 3: image likeness at this school, We'll make it a major

1843
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,320
Speaker 3: and then think about it. Like you know Lebron and

1844
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 3: his relationships changed sports agents forever. Could Shador have made

1845
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 3: a relationship at Colorado that changes his world forever By

1846
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 3: deciding he likes this marketing kid and this this agent

1847
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 3: and this name, image, likeness person they stick with him forever.

1848
01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 3: Like you could help grow programs and monetize for kids

1849
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 3: out of the gate if instead of people sitting around

1850
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 3: complaining about it, a school looked at it and said,

1851
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 3: how can we make the most of this opportunity.

1852
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's listen, I love it. That's exactly right.

1853
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:45,480
Speaker 1: Now. Who are and this is interesting part of the conversation,

1854
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:52,760
Speaker 1: who are those people recently retired that could make a

1855
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: similar splash Like you mentioned IRV and FIGI. I don't

1856
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 1: know if you got any in mine, but think about

1857
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 1: these peace people that could be the next prime Like

1858
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 1: who have personality? Right?

1859
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,240
Speaker 2: Who have you know? Uh uh?

1860
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Who can be charismatic? Because that's the other thing. By

1866
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:32,719
Speaker 2: One name immediately comes to mind.

1867
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:34,559
Speaker 4: I don't know if he has interest in coaching or not,

1868
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 4: but he can motivate anybody.

1869
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 2: Ray Lewis. Oh yeah, imagine him being the head coaching

1870
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:41,600
Speaker 2: on the college football program.

1871
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I could totally see that, totally see that.

1872
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 3: Maybe starting.

1873
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:59,320
Speaker 1: Everybody's got some flaws in the back. Everybody's got to.

1874
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 3: It in the closet, you know, I mean, skeletons haven't

1875
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 3: stopped guys from getting hired over and over again. I

1876
01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 3: think you know, there are also guys. Look, they're not

1877
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 3: going to do this at this stage in their life.

1878
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 3: But like the Mannings, if this had been some sort

1879
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 3: of interest for somebody like Peyton, he could have done

1880
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 3: something like this.

1881
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:17,640
Speaker 1: If you want, Oh my god, could you imagine him

1882
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:22,600
Speaker 1: at Tennessee like he would automatically Tennessee would automatically be

1883
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 1: a contender and a heart.

1884
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 3: Beat and he could go to Arts, would have went there.

1885
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:32,759
Speaker 1: It would have been Yeah, he could.

1886
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:34,719
Speaker 3: Go to Tennessee and say I want twenty million dollars

1887
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 3: a year to coach, and they'd say no problem. You know,

1888
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 3: that's just that there is no cap to what some

1889
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,200
Speaker 3: of these guys could bring in. I think somebody like

1890
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,040
Speaker 3: JJ Watt too, Like JJ's one of those guys that's

1891
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 3: all over media right now, dynamic, Like we need to

1892
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 3: maybe start asking ourselves instead of because so often we say, well,

1893
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 3: this former player is just going to slide over to TV.

1894
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, TV is great money for a lot

1895
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,639
Speaker 3: of those guys too. But man, if you can hire,

1896
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 3: you know, if you can hire assistant coaches to really

1897
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 3: handle the majority of your ex's and o's and you're

1898
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 3: just sitting back making sure that you're the right motivator

1899
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 3: and the right connector, I mean, that's a that's a

1900
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:13,759
Speaker 3: pretty cush gig for a coach for sure.

1901
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm feeling man I do. That's a great

1902
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 1: name too. The Ray Lewis one was interesting.

1903
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm thinking Randy Moss wouldn't be a bad one either.

1904
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 3: Oh Randy Moss, Yeah, that's good.

1905
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 2: He'd be a good one.

1906
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 1: He would be fancy.

1907
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,680
Speaker 4: People didn't really know how charismatic he was until he

1908
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 4: became an analyst on TV and he's like, wow, this guy,

1909
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 4: you know, he didn't talk a whole lot when he played,

1910
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 4: and when he did he oftentimes was you know, had

1911
01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 4: issues off the field here.

1912
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 1: And there too, Seevid Marshall.

1913
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the whole Marshall situation was supposed to go

1914
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 4: to what was it, Florida State and that it had

1915
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 4: issues there.

1916
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 2: But I mean he would be amazing.

1917
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,679
Speaker 4: And to you, guys's point, to be a head coach,

1918
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:49,600
Speaker 4: you're more of a CEO than an actual hands on

1919
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 4: coach at this point in time, So you surround yourself

1920
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 4: with good assistance. It'd just be the face of the

1921
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 4: program and the head recruiter. That's really all you need.

1922
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 3: And their relationship, like college basketball always coaches always talk

1923
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 3: about their relationship to the NBA. You want to play

1924
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 3: in the NFL, You want to tell me that you can't.

1925
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,720
Speaker 3: Playing for a Hall of Fame former player doesn't help that.

1926
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 3: Like their phone calls that frankly, Dion can make to

1927
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 3: people that not everybody else can, that are going to

1928
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 3: be received differently than if they're coming even from somebody

1929
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 3: like a Mike Dorvel, Like it is differently received if

1930
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 3: it's coming from Dion, right, Like he can offer you

1931
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 3: that from the outset, help, you know, figuring out who

1932
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 3: your agent's going to be, who the best trainers are,

1933
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 3: because he knows, you know, who the guys that can

1934
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 3: help you get ready for the pros like he can.

1935
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 3: He can help handle all of that, and he's dynamic

1936
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 3: with raising money.

1937
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:37,559
Speaker 1: See, you're right, and both you guys make excellent points

1938
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 1: too because of the like figure what you said with

1939
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,680
Speaker 1: the CEO and the idea that as long as you

1940
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:48,640
Speaker 1: have a great staff, because let's face it, guys, like

1941
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 1: the one of the pitfalls is that great coaches, most

1942
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: great coaches don't play, don't have great success as because

1943
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 1: of the the the nature of the the superstar who

1944
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 1: would get frustrated as a teacher because they can't do

1945
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 1: what they've done. So there's a degree in that, and

1946
01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:15,600
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of why you saw you know,

1947
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:19,719
Speaker 1: a lot of former players fail in basketball. But even

1948
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron McKee, who had a long NBA career,

1949
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 1: played a Temple under John Cheney. I remember thinking out, well,

1950
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 1: that's a great hire for Temple and he you know what,

1951
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: he just was a flop. And part of the reason

1952
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: why he was a flop was it's a shame but

1953
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 1: like he didn't really get out there and and work recruiting,

1954
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 1: work hard recruiting and that sort of thing. The other

1955
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 1: aspect is guys have to you got to grind, right,

1956
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: if you're going to be especially in basketball, you're going

1957
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: to you need to grind. And I don't know, if

1958
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 1: some guys make a lot of money the NBA, do

1959
01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:58,599
Speaker 1: you feel like grinding every day? Yeah?

1960
01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:01,960
Speaker 3: You're You're right, And it takes a special type of

1961
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,680
Speaker 3: Like we got to ask ourselves in this scenario, how

1962
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 3: many coaches that you see their number pop up and

1963
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:09,559
Speaker 3: a kid today is gonna say, oh my god, I

1964
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 3: can't believe this person is called right? Right, because that's

1965
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 3: that's the other thing that Dion offers when you talk

1966
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 3: about recruiting. I mean's Dion's whole pitch. I would think

1967
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 3: Coach Prime his pitches. He calls and he says, Hey,

1968
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:22,680
Speaker 3: it's coach Prime, and that's it. Like I just I

1969
01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 3: took the time to call you and it resonates, you know,

1970
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:27,720
Speaker 3: So I think that that has to be part of it.

1971
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 3: But you're right, like, you can't just you can't necessarily

1972
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:32,840
Speaker 3: impart greatness if it's just part of who you are

1973
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 3: and how you how you were natured, Like if it's

1974
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 3: a talent you have, you can't always teach it. But man,

1975
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 3: if you're dynamic, you can certainly get on the phone,

1976
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 3: and you can certainly raise money, and you can certainly

1977
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:43,320

Speaker 1: Like?

2026
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 3: Cause there's so many different ways this goes. Like you

2027
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 3: work in sports, you watch sports, you have relationships in sports,

2028
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 3: you have opinions on sports, Like I'll be the first

2029
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 3: to admit after my life, like, I'm glad I've never

2030
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:17,240
Speaker 3: had kids that especially because if any of them would

2031
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 3: have wanted to be in music, that would have been

2032
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:20,240
Speaker 3: really tough for me. And I'm the worst to go

2033
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 3: to a concert with because the whole time I'm analyzing everything.

2034
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 3: So what kind of like what kind of dat are

2035
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 3: we in these situations we're just letting it fly or

2036
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:30,840
Speaker 3: we also maybe make a little side comment there here

2037
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 3: and there.

2038
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:36,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm very like, very into this stuff. So

2039
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always teaching. I help out with the coaches,

2040
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and you know, but I

2041
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, I keep my when it comes to the kids.

2042
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 1: I always let that coach do what you do as

2043
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 1: you do do you man, and then uh, and then

2044
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:58,040
Speaker 1: what I'll do is we do our work. So whether

2045
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 1: it's whatever sport it is, coached them in basketball, but

2046
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 1: if it's baseball, I help out and then uh, you know,

2047
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 1: we do our I'll pitch pp we do ground. There's

2048
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:12,519
Speaker 1: long tolls. I mean, like whatever we got to work on.

2049
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 1: And then football, same thing. My little one is a

2050
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 1: quarterback and my older one's big. He's a monster. He's

2051
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:23,680
Speaker 1: a lineman. So like we were talking about, like I

2052
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: had the bigger one and we were talking about I

2053
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: was like, dude, when you get up here sometimes will

2054
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 1: stand straight up. I'm like, you got a fire. You

2055
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 1: got to stay low fire and aim for the hips.

2056
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: So like we'll go, we'll go in and you know,

2057
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 1: we'll talk a lot of technique. So but I do

2058
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 1: that afterwards. I try and to me, the greatest gift

2059
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: in any parent will tell you this FITSI. The greatest

2060
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: gift is the car ride because you're with them and

2061
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 1: it's just a beautiful moment. Like we had this baseball

2062
01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 1: tournament last week that was an hour and fifteen minutes

2063
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:56,719
Speaker 1: from my house.

2064
01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:58,360
Speaker 2: So it's me my little guy.

2065
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 1: Afterwards, you know, we stopped at Burger King, right, we

2066
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:05,120
Speaker 1: stopped in the morning. We stopped the duck of donuts, right,

2067
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 1: I get coffee, You got a donut on the way back.

2068
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 1: He got a hamburger. You know.

2069
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:12,759
Speaker 2: So it's all these moments that you bond with your child.

2070
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:13,520
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.

2071
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:17,759
Speaker 3: I am smiling ear to ear at how amazing that is. Like, truly,

2072
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 3: it's heartwarming to hear that and to think about that moment.

2073
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 3: And you know, I shared a little bit with my

2074
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:25,960
Speaker 3: dad when I was a kid and we were going

2075
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:27,920
Speaker 3: into New York for all the music stuff I was doing.

2076
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 3: I think the coolest part of that that I remember

2077
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 3: was the drive with my dad back and forth, like

2078
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 3: that was always the coolest thing. So that hits my heart.

2079
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 3: You've made one one calculated mistake though that I'm gonna

2080
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,640
Speaker 3: pitch you on. Okay, there's one change we can make

2081
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 3: here with kids, all right, hear me out. Hear me out,

2082
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 3: for all the grief they get. If you got a

2083
01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 3: kid and they can be an athlete, you should make

2084
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 3: them a punter. And this is my logic, right, the

2085
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 3: punter long term in the NFL. You can make really

2086
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 3: good money punting in the NFL. You can do it

2087
01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 3: for twenty years. While you're doing it. If you get hit,

2088
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:00,160
Speaker 3: then that's a penalty, so you don't have to worry

2089
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 3: about your kid getting hit. If you make a tackle,

2090
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 3: then people are like, oh my god, I can't believe

2091
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:06,960
Speaker 3: the athletic play from the punter. If you missed the tackle,

2092
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 3: then everybody turns around and says, that's okay. He's the punter.

2093
01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 3: And you never have to make a game winning kick,

2094
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 3: so it's not like you have to be a field

2095
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:14,720
Speaker 3: goal kicker. You just have to be able to kick

2096
01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:16,600
Speaker 3: it long and in the corner, and the rest of

2097
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:18,639
Speaker 3: the time you work on your golf game. So I'm

2098
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 3: just I'm making the sales pitch here for the family,

2099
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 3: like maybe maybe Gargano should all be punters and then

2100
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 3: we can all live, Like I'll help rep the kids,

2101
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:28,759
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, we got a family

2102
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 3: business going on. I'll take on a family nickname, and

2103
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,160
Speaker 3: before you know, bam, we've got an empire where building.

2104
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 1: I love it. Man, you're a genius, Buddy, You're a genius.

2105
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 1: I love it. Fitcy, That's that's awesome, Hey, fig it

2106
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 1: is what'son treading my brother?

2107
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 4: All right, we'll go to Major League Baseball from Friday

2108
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:49,799
Speaker 4: night with the Dodgers inching closer to clinching the National

2109
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 4: League West with a six to three victory in Seattle.

2110
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 4: With Texas and Houston both losing, the Mariners are a

2111
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 4: game and a half out of first place in the

2112
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,839
Speaker 4: American League West. Toronto a half game behind the Mariners

2113
01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:02,599
Speaker 4: for the AL the final AL wildcard spot. They picked

2114
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:04,360
Speaker 4: up a three to nothing victory over the Red Sox.

2115
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,240
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay's won nine of their last eleven. They beat

2116
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 4: up Baltimore seven to one, Orioles have lost four in

2117
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 4: a row. Those teams are tied atop of the AL

2118
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 4: East and the National League wildcard race. Philly holds the

2119
01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 4: top spot. They beat the Cardinals five to four. Reds

2120
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 4: beat the Mets in Arizona. If you hit the Cubs

2121
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 4: six to four, so Cincinnati and the d Backs are

2122
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 4: tied for the final wildcard of the National League. Miami

2136
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 1: get back to our foray around the Top twenty five figuring.

2137
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:20,560
Speaker 2: Out who's real who's forghazy.

2138
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 1: The Irish Notre Dame in Action three and zero. They

2139
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 1: host Central Michigan. They're a huge favorite, the Irish, who

2140
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:35,480
Speaker 1: have not really been tested yet. Real or fugazy FITSI.

2141
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're right, they haven't been tested. They're about

2142
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 3: to be tested three of their next four against top

2143
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 3: twenty five teams. They got Ohio State coming up, USC

2144
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,680
Speaker 3: coming up. I think they're for real because I think

2145
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:49,479
Speaker 3: Sam Hartman's for real. So you know, it's interesting because

2146
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 3: we define Notre Dame every year by their past failures,

2147
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 3: and I understand that but things are different when you

2148
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:57,680
Speaker 3: have a quarterback, just like things are different when you

2149
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,720
Speaker 3: don't have a quarterback for schools like Clemson, different when

2150
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 3: you do have a quarterback. I trust Sam Hartman so much.

2151
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 3: You're right, they haven't been tested, but they did. I mean,

2152
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:08,639
Speaker 3: they went out big against NC State and then sort

2153
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 3: of settled in and let that game get a little closer.

2154
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:13,880
Speaker 3: Still won by three touchdowns. Right, So NC State is

2155
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 3: at least a little better than some of the other

2156
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 3: opponents we've seen in the cupcake Wars. So I'm all

2157
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 3: in on Notre Dame. I think they're gonna end up

2158
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 3: by the end of the year. I think Notre Dame.

2159
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 3: I'm a bold take here. I think they end up

2160
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 3: in the college Football Playoff.

2161
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wow, in the playoff.

2162
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 1: That's allesome.

2163
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,800
Speaker 3: If they split with USC and Ohio State, if they

2164
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:35,880
Speaker 3: just split with those two teams, then by the time

2165
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 3: they get through this whole thing, if they run through

2166
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 3: everybody else, and I think they will, they'll have one

2167
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 3: great win. And if they have one good loss, I

2168
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 3: can still see him getting in.

2169
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, fag. What's your take on the Irish.

2170
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 4: I'll say they're for real, but It's not because I

2171
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 4: necessarily love their team. It's because of what Jason mentioned

2172
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,720
Speaker 4: is their schedule. Other than Ohio State and USC, I

2173
01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 4: do think they're good enough to be able to split. Honestly,

2174
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:00,719
Speaker 4: I think they have a better chance of beating Ohio

2175
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 4: State than they do of USC this season. They just

2176
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 4: don't have the toughest schedule, and the bonus of not

2177
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,519
Speaker 4: having to play in a conference championship game helps them.

2178
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 2: So for that reason, I'm not a big fan of them.

2179
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 4: Defensively, I do love Sam Hartman, and I do think

2180
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 4: if and when they make it to the playoff they

2181
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 4: could get exposed depending on who they end up matching

2182
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 4: up with in the semi final. But based on their

2183
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,240
Speaker 4: schedule and based on their quarterback, I will say that

2184
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 4: they are for real.

2185
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:27,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I agree. I would say you guys

2186
01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: are right for real. Obviously we know Georgia, the number

2187
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 1: one team in the country, is for real. How good

2188
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: is Georgia compared to last year? Though, I think that's

2189
01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: the question when we talk about the Bulldogs. How good

2190
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:46,000
Speaker 1: are they compared to the dominance and that football team

2191
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 1: that Dave setled last year.

2192
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:50,759
Speaker 3: FITZI, I don't think we know a dang thing about

2193
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:53,640
Speaker 3: Georgia yet, And because you raised a great question, are

2194
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:56,680
Speaker 3: they anywhere near what they were last year? Plus they

2195
01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 3: did go through a ton this offseason that I think

2196
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:01,640
Speaker 3: has got to be emotionally wearing on them. But the

2197
01:47:01,640 --> 01:47:03,720
Speaker 3: fact that they are able to get they get a

2198
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 3: win over U. T. Martin and Ball State, Like, what

2199
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 3: do we actually know out of any of that? The

2200
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 3: answer is literally nothing. So Carson Beck may turn out

2201
01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:14,679
Speaker 3: to be this great quarterback, but my god, Like, I'm

2202
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:17,280
Speaker 3: clinging to South Carolina today and I don't think that's

2203
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:19,479
Speaker 3: even gonna be a good game. But then after South

2204
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 3: Carolina to get UAB Like this, Georgia's schedule. We've talked

2205
01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 3: about Notre Dame's schedule being solved. Right now, as of today,

2206
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 3: Georgia has two ranked teams on their schedule. They get

2207
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 3: Ole Miss at home and they go to Tennessee. They

2208
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:34,479
Speaker 3: don't have anybody else ranked. They're gonna run through this schedule.

2209
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 3: They better run through this schedule. If they slip up

2210
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:39,640
Speaker 3: and take a single loss anywhere, that is going to

2211
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 3: be absolutely catastrophic for them because there isn't any resume

2212
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:48,120
Speaker 3: elsewhere to justify any of it. Like, I'm truly interested

2213
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 3: to hear what the Playoff committee says, you know, on

2214
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,599
Speaker 3: Halloween when they come out with the first playoff rankings

2215
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 3: about a Georgia team that will essentially by that point

2216
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 3: have played virtually no one. It's all gonna be the

2217
01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:00,679
Speaker 3: eye test. So I mean, sure, we all know how

2218
01:48:00,680 --> 01:48:03,480
Speaker 3: talented they are, and they've won two straight national championships,

2219
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:05,680
Speaker 3: so I have to say they're for real. But I

2220
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 3: just don't think we know a single thing about them

2221
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 3: right now. I don't know what you think, but I'm

2222
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 3: I'm stuck in this no man's lamb with Georgia.

2223
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm right there with you. And you know, we

2224
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:17,559
Speaker 4: talk about how bad their schedule is. I mean, leading

2225
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,760
Speaker 4: up into the Halloween time of the year. Who even

2226
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 4: would potentially give them a challenge at that point? Is

2227
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:25,599
Speaker 4: Florida better? I don't think so. They're having a down

2228
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:28,719
Speaker 4: year this year. So the problem is, as the defiting

2229
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:30,720
Speaker 4: national champion, and I know this is supposed to be

2230
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:33,720
Speaker 4: a year to year basis, not necessarily talking about what

2231
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:36,120
Speaker 4: happened last year or the year before, it'd be hard

2232
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:37,600
Speaker 4: to keep them out of the top four in the

2233
01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 4: first ranking unless look, unless They're just struggling, and for

2234
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,439
Speaker 4: some reason, they're winning a bunch of games by a

2235
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 4: touchdown or less, which I really don't see happening. And

2236
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 4: if that does happen, maybe there is a conversation about

2237
01:48:47,880 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 4: having them on the outer limits of the four or

2238
01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 4: five spot in the playoff ranking. But I just don't

2239
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:55,040
Speaker 4: see them having much of a challenge. I will say

2240
01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 4: South Carolina they have a good quarterback. I like Spencer Rattler,

2241
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:01,879
Speaker 4: and he he played well against North Carolina.

2242
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 2: His offensive line let him down. I think he got

2243
01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:05,160
Speaker 2: sacked like eight or nine times in that game or

2244
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 2: something like that.

2245
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:08,479
Speaker 4: And Georgia and I don't know if it means anything

2246
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:10,519
Speaker 4: because they've played a lot of defensive players so far

2247
01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 4: this year. I think they're getting a lot of young

2248
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 4: guys some run and I think that kind of contribute

2249
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:17,080
Speaker 4: attributes to them not really knowing what they are. They

2250
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 4: only have one sack the first couple of games against

2251
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:22,320
Speaker 4: Ball State and UT Martin, And now is that because

2252
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 4: are they being less aggressive defensively? Are they playing younger

2253
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 4: guys and not really going after it. We'll find out

2254
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:30,080
Speaker 4: against South Carolina. This is a rivalry game that we

2255
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 4: know they're gonna go out and try to win. So

2256
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:34,800
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see how Georgia comes out and how

2257
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:37,880
Speaker 4: what the sense of urgency is against South Carolina. I

2258
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 4: think the way they look in this game will give

2259
01:49:39,880 --> 01:49:42,240
Speaker 4: us a good idea of what to expect from Georgia

2260
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 4: moving forward.

2261
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:45,520
Speaker 2: You guys both reference their schedule.

2262
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 1: After South countin today fifty said it uab next week,

2263
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 1: then at Auburn, Kentucky goes to Athens and by the way,

2264
01:49:56,960 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 1: shout out to We're gonna give a yo to our

2265
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:04,639
Speaker 1: man Southside Chuck, who's our resident of Kentucky fan. At

2266
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt at Florida actually the cocktail.

2267
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:13,400
Speaker 2: Game home Missouri Ole Miss.

2268
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:16,679
Speaker 1: Then we go to tennesse Se like you guys said,

2269
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 1: and then Georgia Tech. So again that the way this

2270
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:22,280
Speaker 1: schedule is, I mean, they got a roll. So let's

2271
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:23,200
Speaker 1: see what happened, and.

2272
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 4: Who knows what Old misson Tennessee will be by the

2273
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 4: back end of the schedule, if those two teams will

2274
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 4: be ranked, because I can see a pathword neither of

2275
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:29,759
Speaker 4: them are.

2276
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:35,240
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah yeah. And then Alabama, which made some news

2277
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 1: this week at Saban switches quarterbacks. I'll start with you Fitzie,

2278
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:45,400
Speaker 1: what do we know about Bama real for gazy?

2279
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're for gazy and look to their expectation. The

2280
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:53,559
Speaker 3: expectation for Alabama every year is in national championship. I

2281
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 3: just don't think that that's in the cards right now

2282
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:57,840
Speaker 3: for them. The fact that they're making a change at

2283
01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:01,320
Speaker 3: quarterback after the Texas loss doesn't surprise me, but it

2284
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:03,160
Speaker 3: also speaks to the fact that they don't really know

2285
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 3: what they have at quarterbacks. So this feels like the

2286
01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 3: type of year where they could get caught again. They're

2287
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:09,720
Speaker 3: gonna play a couple of dynamic offenses. We all know

2288
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 3: Old miss is always gonna be able to score points.

2289
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:14,519
Speaker 3: We know Tennessee scores points and beat them last year.

2290
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:17,639
Speaker 3: Obviously Texas A and M is not as good as

2291
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:20,080
Speaker 3: they need to be, but that's still a tougher schedule

2292
01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:22,960
Speaker 3: when you just factor those games in, that's a tougher schedule.

2293
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 3: They've got to run through basically all of that, and

2294
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:27,560
Speaker 3: then not only that, they'd have to beat Georgia in

2295
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:30,600
Speaker 3: the SEC Championship game. Like, it's easy for me to

2296
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:33,719
Speaker 3: find two losses in general when you include the SEC

2297
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 3: Championship game. But I don't really have to work to

2298
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,680
Speaker 3: find three losses for this Alabama team. Like I'm out

2299
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:40,800
Speaker 3: on Alabama being anywhere near the playoff by the end

2300
01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 3: of this year. Fig.

2301
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:44,719
Speaker 2: Now you know I love Texas last week? You did?

2302
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, And now both of you guys like TESSAs last

2303
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 4: week and I did not. Then, yes, I did not

2304
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:51,840
Speaker 4: expect them to out physical Alabama the way they did

2305
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 4: up front. It look even with that and as well

2306
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:56,240
Speaker 4: as Texas played, and the final score kind of got

2307
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 4: away from it at the very end, just a couple

2308
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 4: of costly turnovers at the quarterback position, which is why

2309
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 4: I think Nick Saban decided to make this move. Look,

2310
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:06,200
Speaker 4: they're not as talented as they typically are. I think

2311
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 4: we can all accept that. It's just difficult for me

2312
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 4: at this point in time of the season to go

2313
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:15,720
Speaker 4: against the evil Empire. So because they're Alabama, every time,

2314
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 4: we're even for dead. You know what they may have

2315
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:19,760
Speaker 4: been six or seven years ago, Nick Saban, you know,

2316
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 4: had that ran against the media. If you guys have

2317
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 4: us dead and buried, we're gone. And then they bring

2318
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,160
Speaker 4: on the giant run and went to the National Championship

2319
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:28,599
Speaker 4: Game again. So it's one of those I have I'll

2320
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:30,600
Speaker 4: believe it when I see it. So I really have

2321
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 4: nothing concrete to base this on other than and it's

2322
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 4: Alabama and we've counted them out before and they found

2323
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:38,679
Speaker 4: a way to rebound. So for that, I'm just gonna

2324
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:39,800
Speaker 4: say they're for real.

2325
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:42,760
Speaker 3: Said you said the Evil Empire, I'll just say, like

2326
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 3: Darth Vader. But the funny thing is, nobody wanted to

2327
01:52:45,479 --> 01:52:47,200
Speaker 3: take on Darth Vader. But at the end of the day,

2328
01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 3: Darth Vader never really won, So you know, like maybe

2329
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:52,760
Speaker 3: maybe that's the moment we're at here. You know, it's

2330
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:55,240
Speaker 3: like it's the drama and they'll keep feasting on the

2331
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 3: little admirals here and there, but eventually Luke Skywalker comes

2332
01:52:58,320 --> 01:52:59,719
Speaker 3: in and takes the whole thing.

2333
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:01,599
Speaker 2: That I'll be laye in a couple of weeks, I'll

2334
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:02,240
Speaker 2: be looking.

2335
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 3: The hero of a story with you, and.

2336
01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 1: Uh, we'll come back. We'll look at Duke suddenly a

2337
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:20,040
Speaker 1: football power. We'll look at Ohio State, Washington lots to

2338
01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:25,200
Speaker 1: do as the Fellas move rock on on a great

2339
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:35,719
Speaker 1: Fox Football Saturday. Fellas on a Fox Football Saturday doesn't

2340
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:39,920
Speaker 1: get any better than a Fox Football Saturday. From the

2341
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:44,000
Speaker 1: tire rack dot Com Studios, All right, let's uh, let's

2342
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: continue our real or fugazi and uh, I gotta ask

2343
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:55,639
Speaker 1: you this because my man, the the rockabilly rebel on

2344
01:53:55,640 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 1: on X says, ranch or blue cheese t you fitsy.

2345
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:04,639
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a simple answer. Ranch is just glorified mayonnaise,

2346
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:07,040
Speaker 3: and mayonnaise is trash. So I'm out on Ranch and

2347
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 3: I'm all in on blue cheese. Like this is this

2348
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:12,040
Speaker 3: is simple, like like great ranch is good. I can

2349
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:15,360
Speaker 3: handle great Ranch, but just common like anywhere ranch, not

2350
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:17,719
Speaker 3: like I'm not I'm not ordering Ranch just for anything.

2351
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 3: If you look up the ingredient's main ingredient, Ranch, mayo,

2352
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:23,920
Speaker 3: Mayo is awful. So I'm out on that. Blue cheese

2353
01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:25,400
Speaker 3: is like that tank.

2354
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 1: I despise Mayo as well. You got what's going on here?

2355
01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 1: I despise it. I'm there with you, brother.

2356
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:37,680
Speaker 3: Mayos is disgusting in every possible way. I mean, there's

2357
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 3: there's just there's never better time.

2358
01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:42,120
Speaker 1: Man.

2359
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:44,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, spicy garbage.

2360
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, god, I when you eat a sandwich with mustard,

2361
01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 10: that's it.

2362
01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 1: No, I'm an awful guy.

2363
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:52,640
Speaker 10: Okay, Yeah, I'm talking to Italian, you know.

2364
01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:55,560
Speaker 3: Like, so I mean a good a good sandwich. Yeah,

2365
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 3: I mean I like mustard. I'm all in on mustard.

2366
01:54:57,680 --> 01:55:00,160
Speaker 3: I'm fine that, Like, I'm good with mustard. But like

2367
01:55:00,200 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 3: a good sandwich probably doesn't really need much of that,

2368
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:05,840
Speaker 3: like correct, Yeah, I don't need Mao on it, like

2369
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,200
Speaker 3: and if I'm getting a hamburger somewhere, like like if

2370
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:10,240
Speaker 3: I'm going out to Wendy's, which is an American delight,

2371
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:11,920
Speaker 3: Like if I'm going out to Wendy's, I'm not putting

2372
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,000
Speaker 3: mao on that thing. No, I'm rolling my burger with

2373
01:55:14,040 --> 01:55:14,360
Speaker 3: that mayo.

2374
01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 10: No, I agree, pizza and branches out of violations.

2375
01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:20,240
Speaker 2: Good pizza doesn't need.

2376
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:27,320
Speaker 3: I say one, good pizza doesn't need any topping other

2377
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 3: than cheese. Like that's just let's just be real about

2378
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 3: that good. Like, if it's good pizza, you can just

2379
01:55:31,960 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 3: eat cheese pizza and it's perfect. I will eat any

2380
01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 3: other type of pizza because pizza is pizza. But no,

2381
01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:40,400
Speaker 3: I'm never going to be dipping my pizza. Like if

2382
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:41,480
Speaker 3: you need to get ranch.

2383
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 1: For you, my man, what are we doing? You know

2384
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:51,080
Speaker 1: it's figging figuring those I get freak out on a pizza. Violations.

2385
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:52,520
Speaker 2: Oh so many violations.

2386
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 4: I mean, if you even want to call what they

01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:56,440
Speaker 4: make here real pizza star.

2388

01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:11,360
Speaker 4: had my first hand experience at real Italian pizza.

2393
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:12,200
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

2394
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're a thousand percent right by the way.

2395
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 3: It Just go over there and just feast on the

2396
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:18,360
Speaker 3: pizza all day, every day.

01:56:18,440 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2398
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:21,840
Speaker 3: And also, like that's one nice thing about living in Connecticut,

2399
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:24,040
Speaker 3: Like the pizza here is it's an extension.

2400
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:26,800
Speaker 1: Oh it's it's it's good good, it's pretty.

2401
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 3: Good, like good pizza places.

2402
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that is tremendous. Yeah, that's a

2403
01:56:32,720 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 1: good pie.

2404
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:36,400
Speaker 3: Now I'm all in on, Like there's there's room in

2405
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:38,520
Speaker 3: my heart for all the pizzas, but New York pizza

2406
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:41,280
Speaker 3: is by far the best pizza. And there's no room

2407
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 3: in my heart for like, like if I go to

2408
01:56:42,920 --> 01:56:44,600
Speaker 3: the West Coast and I'm suddenly in LA and they're

2409
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 3: trying to put broccoli on pizza like it out here.

2410
01:56:46,920 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 1: Have you had a pie?

2411
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:50,040
Speaker 10: Have you had like a pizza place in Los Angeles

2412
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:51,800
Speaker 10: and you're like, oh, this is actually good or has

2413
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 10: it always been like okale.

2414
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:56,480
Speaker 3: It's all like the pizza I've had in California has

2415
01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:58,360
Speaker 3: always been like, look, I wanted pizza, and like this

2416
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 3: is fine, you know, but there's no like you get

2417
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 3: over to the East Coast and it becomes super elitist

2418
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:06,840
Speaker 3: on which pizza place you're going to when you're going

2419
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:09,360
Speaker 3: to you know, like yeah, it's it's a much different

2420
01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:13,040
Speaker 3: world up in New England, particularly that that pizza things

2421
01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:14,000
Speaker 3: it gets heated.

2422
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 1: It's us now might be marked from Chicago. Do you

Speaker 1: you know little Caesars out here, so I could do

2427
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: them all. So in Chicago, if you get like a

01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:36,120
Speaker 1: Neapolitan style, right, which is the thin round pizza they

2431
01:57:44,480 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 1: when I ordered The first time moved to Chicago, I

2432
01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 1: ordered a pizza because I don't want the deep dish

2433
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 1: is fine, but you can't eat that on the rag man,

2434
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:52,600
Speaker 1: Like that's.

2435
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:54,840
Speaker 2: Just that's a lot, but I do love a deep dish.

2436
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Giordano's.

2437
01:57:58,240 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my spot.

2438
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:02,600
Speaker 10: Yeah couple, it's a deep dish pizza. Like not the Alcouple,

2439
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:04,720
Speaker 10: the Jason Smith Show. They'll have it like twice a

2440
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 10: week and I do not know how they do it.

2441
01:58:06,440 --> 01:58:09,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's.

2442
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 2: Huge Genails East.

2443
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's okay.

2444
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:14,080
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, Like the best part of pizza

2445
01:58:14,160 --> 01:58:16,080
Speaker 3: is I was. I grew up with a buddy always

2446
01:58:16,080 --> 01:58:18,040
Speaker 3: called them the bones, Like I need the crust on pizza,

2447
01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 3: Like that's the best part. I will walk up to

2448
01:58:19,960 --> 01:58:21,960
Speaker 3: a stranger's plate that's not eating the crust and be like,

2449
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 3: if you ain't, I'll take it, like like that's the

2450
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 3: best part of the entire So, like, don't give me

2451
01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 3: any of these squares or any of these like the

2452
01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:30,480
Speaker 3: problem with the deep dishes, like it's just a total

2453
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:32,480
Speaker 3: different food group. Like it's fine, it's just.

2454
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:35,680
Speaker 1: It's not really pizza. It's like more of a crust.

2455
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 2: Too, it is.

2456
01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:41,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm acknowledge that I could acknowledge that dish pizza.

2457
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:44,200
Speaker 1: Like you can't have the flop Like, truthfully, the great

2458
01:58:44,280 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 1: pizza stands up you put it to the flop. Then

2459
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,200
Speaker 1: you pick it up and it just flops down. No

2460
01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:53,160
Speaker 1: good on how it was cooked, no respect on the phone.

2461
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:54,720
Speaker 3: And you know you're in the right place. If somebody

2462
01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:56,640
Speaker 3: will call out a place for having the flop, then

2463
01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:58,240
Speaker 3: you're like, all right that this is these are my

Speaker 1: we've been all over talk a lot about the Thursday

2479
01:59:57,560 --> 01:59:59,920
Speaker 1: night game. We got into the Iron Rodgers saga.

2480
02:00:00,080 --> 02:00:00,160
Speaker 9: Uh.

2481
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: The the idea of the of the great curse that's bestowed

2482
02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 1: upon the Jet fans fitsie. I mean, can you ask

2483
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:15,240
Speaker 1: for a more devastating happenstance four plays in to the

2484
02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:18,480
Speaker 1: to the season and that he's out.

2485
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:21,200
Speaker 3: I don't think. I think the hope that you have

2486
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 3: week one in any sport right is such a high

2487
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:29,920
Speaker 3: and we spend so much time obsessing through the offseason.

2488
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:31,960
Speaker 3: I've said for a long time, I think like your

2489
02:00:31,960 --> 02:00:34,320
Speaker 3: relationship with your favorite football team is a lot like

2490
02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:36,800
Speaker 3: a bad relationship in life. Like at the end of

2491
02:00:36,800 --> 02:00:38,840
Speaker 3: the season, you're like, I hate I hate her, I

2492
02:00:38,880 --> 02:00:39,520
Speaker 3: can't stand her.

2493
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:42,680
Speaker 2: This is terrible, it's dysfunctional. And then a couple months later.

2494
02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:44,320
Speaker 3: You get to like free agency and you're like, man,

2495
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:46,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, like I do miss this. And then

2496
02:00:46,760 --> 02:00:48,000
Speaker 3: you get to the draft and you're like you, no,

2497
02:00:48,080 --> 02:00:49,480
Speaker 3: it wasn't all bad, like some of it. And then

2498
02:00:49,520 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 3: you get to training camp you're like, no, I really

2499
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:54,000
Speaker 3: miss her, and like it wasn't as dysfunctional as I thought.

2500
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 3: And then you get to week one and suddenly your

2501
02:00:55,960 --> 02:00:58,120
Speaker 3: heart's broken and you realize you're you're still with a

2502
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:00,920
Speaker 3: crazy girl like that's the whole ride that we go through.

2503
02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:03,240
Speaker 3: But Week one is supposed to be this perfect, pure

2504
02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:07,200
Speaker 3: week of joy, and I just wanted everybody to feel that, Like,

2505
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 3: if you lose to the Bills and Aaron Rodgers plays awful,

2506
02:01:11,240 --> 02:01:13,360
Speaker 3: at least then you could say, hey, there's next week.

2507
02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:16,680
Speaker 3: It's rare to make it four snaps into a season

2508
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:19,200
Speaker 3: and then turn around and say there is no next week.

2509
02:01:19,240 --> 02:01:22,400
Speaker 3: And for what the expectations were for the Jets right now,

2510
02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:24,920
Speaker 3: there is no next week. And that's that's a bummer

2511
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:26,040
Speaker 3: for the entire fan base.

2512
02:01:26,480 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 1: It is, and it's absolutely cruel, like there's nothing worse

2513
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 1: than ha haha, that your hopes are dashed the first

2514
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:38,920
Speaker 1: game and four plays into the first game in the season,

2515
02:01:39,320 --> 02:01:43,080
Speaker 1: and then to make matters like it's almost a twisted

2516
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:46,720
Speaker 1: sick way that they win the game the way they

2517
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:50,280
Speaker 1: win the game on a on a walk off punt retarn,

2518
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

2519
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? But also think about the moment that it happened,

2520
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 3: and even after the game, we all know that most

2521
02:01:57,680 --> 02:01:59,680
Speaker 3: of us got that friend in our friend group that's

2522
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:02,760
Speaker 3: a Jet fan that you're ready to troll if Aaron

2523
02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:05,480
Speaker 3: Rodgers goes out and throws four interceptions. You had the

2524
02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 3: tweets ready or the text ready to just fire off.

2525
02:02:07,880 --> 02:02:10,120
Speaker 3: You're ready to troll the whole fan base, and even

2526
02:02:10,120 --> 02:02:12,320
Speaker 3: in the wind, you'd be ready to celebrate. I didn't

2527
02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:14,560
Speaker 3: know what to do with my friends that were Jets fans.

2528
02:02:14,600 --> 02:02:17,440
Speaker 3: I just I waited a day, like even after the wind.

2529
02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't go in and break their balls. No,

2530
02:02:21,640 --> 02:02:23,080
Speaker 1: that's not fair, that's not right.

2531
02:02:23,600 --> 02:02:25,720
Speaker 3: And I can't even go in and say like, hey man,

2532
02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 3: great win, because that still doesn't feel like you had

2533
02:02:28,720 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 3: to give it a twenty four hour grace period. That

2534
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:33,440
Speaker 3: tells you how epic this was in a negative way

2535
02:02:33,480 --> 02:02:35,920
Speaker 3: for the fans, where it's like you can't even troll

2536
02:02:35,960 --> 02:02:38,680
Speaker 3: your buddies. You're like, well, I'll wait till Tuesday, Wednesday,

2537
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 3: just say congrats on the wind.

2538
02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Who yeah, Now, I'm completely with you. I mean, it's

2539
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:44,800
Speaker 1: just that's just cruel.

2540
02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:46,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's do this.

2541
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:50,640
Speaker 1: Let's look at tomorrow's storylines quickly and kind of go

2542
02:02:50,720 --> 02:02:53,120
Speaker 1: through it while the Big Brain's going to be joining

2543
02:02:53,200 --> 02:02:55,160
Speaker 1: us to take a look at the weekend's card from

2544
02:02:55,200 --> 02:02:57,440
Speaker 1: a betting standpoint. But let's take a look at the

2545
02:02:57,480 --> 02:03:01,360
Speaker 1: big NFL stories that will hit tomorrow. B Speaking of

2546
02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Bills offense couldn't do anything against the

2547
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Jets defense. They got your beloved Raiders. You and Figgy

2548
02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:13,879
Speaker 1: got are in Buffalo at Orchard Park tomorrow.

2549
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, everything that was wrong in week one, I

2550
02:03:17,360 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 3: have a sneaking suspicion is gonna look right in week two.

2551
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:22,360
Speaker 3: I think the Bills are gonna right the ship. But

2552
02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:25,240
Speaker 3: that being said, I was high in Buffalo. I've been

2553
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:28,200
Speaker 3: high on Buffalo this whole time. They're my sneaky Super

2554
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:28,680
Speaker 3: Bowl pick.

2555
02:03:28,760 --> 02:03:28,920
Speaker 1: Right.

2556
02:03:29,160 --> 02:03:32,480
Speaker 3: I think Josh Allen playing the way he played is problematic, right,

2557
02:03:32,560 --> 02:03:34,680
Speaker 3: Like he made the same mistakes he made last year.

2558
02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:36,760
Speaker 3: It shows me that they haven't cleaned up what I

2559
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 3: thought they would have cleaned up. But I think they'll

2560
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:40,680
Speaker 3: clean it up against the Raiders. It was interesting if

2561
02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:42,360
Speaker 3: you go back and watch you mention how much film

2562
02:03:42,400 --> 02:03:44,120
Speaker 3: you watch, like I try and go back and watch

2563
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:45,720
Speaker 3: all of these games every week, And if you go

2564
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:47,839
Speaker 3: back and watch the all twenty two on the Raiders

2565
02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 3: Broncos game, what was interesting is that they were protecting

2566
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 3: their secondary by essentially saying we're gonna leave everything super

2567
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:56,520
Speaker 3: in front of us and trust our guys to tackle.

2568
02:03:56,840 --> 02:03:59,720
Speaker 3: That's way easier to do when you're taking on the

2569
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:02,680
Speaker 3: Bronco then it will be when you're taking on Stefan Diggs.

2570
02:04:02,680 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 3: So I think that the Bills are just going to

2571
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:06,560
Speaker 3: be able to chunk yardage their way through this thing

2572
02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:09,200
Speaker 3: and put up a bunch of points. Unfortunately, I think

2573
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a bad Sunday for me.

2574
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of feel that way too. Fig How

2575
02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 1: are you feeling about your beloved Raiders?

2576
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, more of the same, you know, I thought.

2577
02:04:18,880 --> 02:04:21,600
Speaker 4: For I think for Buffalo to ultimately have success, and

2578
02:04:21,640 --> 02:04:23,720
Speaker 4: we've discussed this that nauseum on this show the last

2579
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 4: couple of years, they've got to have some semblance of

2580
02:04:25,480 --> 02:04:27,880
Speaker 4: a run game they don't up here. To still have that,

2581
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:30,200
Speaker 4: you're putting everything on Josh allen shoulders, and as you

2582
02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 4: saw on Monday Night, the more and more you do that,

2583
02:04:33,080 --> 02:04:35,320
Speaker 4: the more prone he is to make mistakes, especially against

2584
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:38,200
Speaker 4: quality defenses. So for that can be an issue for

2585
02:04:38,240 --> 02:04:40,760
Speaker 4: them moving forward throughout the season. But yeah, going up

2586
02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 4: against the Raiders this weekend, I don't think that's gonna

2587
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:44,280
Speaker 4: be much of a problem. One thing I will give

2588
02:04:44,280 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 4: the Raiders, and they didn't run the ball well at

2589
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 4: all against Denver with Josh Jacobs, who looked and maybe

2590
02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:50,160
Speaker 4: it's just me, Jason, you tell me if he didn't

2591
02:04:50,160 --> 02:04:52,240
Speaker 4: look at half step slow, maybe that's just getting his

2592
02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:54,800
Speaker 4: rhythm his legs back under him, but didn't look to

2593
02:04:54,800 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 4: have the same bursts as he did last season.

2594
02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:59,360
Speaker 2: To me, Buffalo does not have the biggest defensive.

2595
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:00,760
Speaker 4: Line, So if the Raiders are going to stay in this,

2596
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:02,800
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to get some traction on the run

2597
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:04,840
Speaker 4: game and not rely on Jimmy g in the passing game.

2598
02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 2: But I do think Buffalo ends up winning, and I

2599
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:07,520
Speaker 2: do agree.

2600
02:05:07,560 --> 02:05:10,000
Speaker 3: I think all of it was a little out of sync.

2601
02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:12,440
Speaker 3: The offensive line and Josh Jacobs together felt like it

2602
02:05:12,520 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 3: was out of sink. So yeah, maybe maybe a week

2603
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:17,920
Speaker 3: helps that. But like, let me just be very clear, y'all.

2604
02:05:18,120 --> 02:05:20,680
Speaker 3: A week from right now, if somehow my beloved Raiders

2605
02:05:20,680 --> 02:05:22,840
Speaker 3: are two to zero, I will be unhinged. It will

2606
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:25,840
Speaker 3: be four hours of me still being You'll be like, hey,

2607
02:05:25,840 --> 02:05:27,680
Speaker 3: have you been on a bender for six days? The

2608
02:05:27,720 --> 02:05:29,720
Speaker 3: answer will be yes, I will have been on a

2609
02:05:29,760 --> 02:05:32,480
Speaker 3: bender for six days. So if I'm either heartbroken at

2610
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:34,600
Speaker 3: four pm or I'm starting to drink celebrate in one

2611
02:05:34,600 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 3: way or the other. Who going to be a week

2612
02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 3: all right?

2613
02:05:37,720 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 1: The other We'll continue to go through the storylines. Another

2614
02:05:40,680 --> 02:05:44,400
Speaker 1: big storyline is in Cincinnati, and speaking of bounce back,

2615
02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:47,400
Speaker 1: Burrow becomes the high it was the highest paid player

2616
02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 1: in the league. We'll try to bounce back from his

2617
02:05:50,120 --> 02:05:55,840
Speaker 1: most terrific day in the league. He was awful, you know,

2618
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 1: we go back to he gets there after the injury.

2619
02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:03,800
Speaker 2: Any concerns in Cincinnati.

2620
02:06:04,200 --> 02:06:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think for it to be that ugly was

2621
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,560
Speaker 3: shocking to me. But I think Cleveland deserves a lot

2622
02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:11,880
Speaker 3: of credit on the defensive side of the ball. Frankly,

2623
02:06:12,320 --> 02:06:15,320
Speaker 3: this game is interesting to me because Baltimore, I've also,

2624
02:06:15,720 --> 02:06:18,520
Speaker 3: like I had high expectations for what their different offense

2625
02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:20,839
Speaker 3: would look like, and it looked out us sink also,

2626
02:06:21,080 --> 02:06:24,400
Speaker 3: So you know, I think across the board, Baltimore Cincinti,

2627
02:06:24,760 --> 02:06:26,400
Speaker 3: since he is a bit of a prove it game

2628
02:06:26,520 --> 02:06:28,680
Speaker 3: early in the season of who's going to be able

2629
02:06:28,720 --> 02:06:32,000
Speaker 3: to get it on track quickest. Now, obviously the Bengals.

2630
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 3: As long as you have Joe Burrow and you have

2631
02:06:33,320 --> 02:06:35,720
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, everybody's gonna feel good about it. But I

2632
02:06:35,720 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 3: don't know, man, Cleveland, Cleveland brought it to him. So

2633
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 3: Baltimore's defense nowhere near where Cleveland's defense is right now.

2634
02:06:41,200 --> 02:06:42,800
Speaker 3: I think Cincinnati bounces his back.

2635
02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, fake, yeah, all one hundred percent agree.

2636
02:06:46,600 --> 02:06:48,520
Speaker 4: I can believe Joe Burrow, come on off of injury

2637
02:06:48,640 --> 02:06:50,080
Speaker 4: or not, is going to look that bad and back

2638
02:06:50,120 --> 02:06:52,160
Speaker 4: to back weeks. And I believe the weather's probably going

2639
02:06:52,240 --> 02:06:54,360
Speaker 4: to be slightly better this weekend a Cincinnati than it

2640
02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:56,400
Speaker 4: was last week, so that might help him out too.

2641
02:06:57,040 --> 02:06:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what the line is on this game.

2642
02:06:59,240 --> 02:07:01,280
Speaker 2: If I were a Betty Man, I wouldn't touch this one.

2643
02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:03,600
Speaker 2: With the Tims Bengals are three point favorite.

2644
02:07:03,640 --> 02:07:05,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would not touch this game because to your point,

2645
02:07:05,720 --> 02:07:07,720
Speaker 4: even with Baltimore, I think they'll end up getting better

2646
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:10,320
Speaker 4: throughout the year. Zay Flowers looks like he can be

2647
02:07:10,320 --> 02:07:12,800
Speaker 4: a player for sure, But I just I don't know

2648
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:15,520
Speaker 4: if I necessarily trust either team in this moment. I'm

2649
02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:17,200
Speaker 4: still trying to fill out both of these teams, so

2650
02:07:17,200 --> 02:07:18,680
Speaker 4: I'd leave it alone. But if I had to make

2651
02:07:18,720 --> 02:07:21,000
Speaker 4: a pick, I'll take the Bengals all right.

2652
02:07:21,160 --> 02:07:23,120
Speaker 1: One of the best early games, and this is a

2653
02:07:23,160 --> 02:07:27,440
Speaker 1: great game. Kansas City will have Chris Jones back. Obviously,

2654
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:32,959
Speaker 1: Kelsey's back against the Jaguars, who are potent. The Jaguar

2655
02:07:33,040 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 1: offense is legit. With Sunshine, He's got, you know, incredible

2656
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:43,120
Speaker 1: weapons now, so that's a great matchup tomorrow. I think

2657
02:07:43,160 --> 02:07:46,400
Speaker 1: that's that could be one of the most fun games Fetzi.

2658
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Jacksonville was interesting to me because there were

2659
02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:52,080
Speaker 3: moments week one where it looked like they were just

2660
02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:54,040
Speaker 3: going to be a powerhouse, and then there were moments

2661
02:07:54,080 --> 02:07:56,120
Speaker 3: week one where it looked like the Colts were going

2662
02:07:56,200 --> 02:07:57,320
Speaker 3: to be able to take it to him. I was

2663
02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:00,480
Speaker 3: a little surprised at how good Indy was in that matchup.

2664
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:02,880
Speaker 3: But I'm with you. I mean, Trevor Lawrence is just

2665
02:08:03,360 --> 02:08:06,480
Speaker 3: a pinpoint accuracy. It just feels like he's found his

2666
02:08:06,560 --> 02:08:09,400
Speaker 3: rhythm in a way he didn't have year one. That

2667
02:08:09,480 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 3: has continued over. This is a big moment for Kansas City.

2668
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:15,800
Speaker 3: I mean, getting those elements back, but most importantly, what

2669
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:19,080
Speaker 3: do they do with Kadarius Tony Right Like, I feel

2670
02:08:19,080 --> 02:08:20,760
Speaker 3: like you got to feed him the ball to show

2671
02:08:20,800 --> 02:08:22,640
Speaker 3: him that you still have faith in him, but also

2672
02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:24,560
Speaker 3: how do you still have faith in him? And then

2673
02:08:24,600 --> 02:08:26,640
Speaker 3: if the blade just doesn't seem to go his way.

2674
02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 3: Does it start to get in his head that he

2675
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:29,840
Speaker 3: doesn't he's not getting the ball, like he doesn't have

2676
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:32,960
Speaker 3: the trust like the mentals for Kadarius Tony I think

2677
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:36,600
Speaker 3: are significant for me. So I expect Kansas City to

2678
02:08:36,640 --> 02:08:39,320
Speaker 3: win this game. But also if they don't, I do

2679
02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:42,680
Speaker 3: think that looks sky is falling drastic. But I do

2680
02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:44,800
Speaker 3: think that it's time to be a little bit concerned

2681
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:46,640
Speaker 3: about what their wide receiver court is going to look

2682
02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:48,160
Speaker 3: like this year. So a lot of pressure on the

2683
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:49,720
Speaker 3: Chiefs in this matchup, to me, think.

2684
02:08:49,840 --> 02:08:51,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, definitely, a lot of Chiefs, a lot

2685
02:08:51,720 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 4: of excuse me, a lot of pressure on the Chiefs

2686
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:54,760
Speaker 4: to get a victory here. But I think a lot

2687
02:08:54,800 --> 02:08:56,960
Speaker 4: of pressure on Jacksonville too. I think that's a big

2688
02:08:57,000 --> 02:08:59,400
Speaker 4: game for them. You got swept by the Chiefs last year,

2689
02:08:59,440 --> 02:09:01,839
Speaker 4: lost in the White the excuse me, the divisional playoff

2690
02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:02,760
Speaker 4: matchup last year.

2691
02:09:03,040 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 2: You're a young team that's on the come. I know

2692
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:08,280
Speaker 2: a lot of times your improvement is not necessarily linear.

2693
02:09:08,800 --> 02:09:09,240
Speaker 2: So a lot of.

2694
02:09:09,240 --> 02:09:11,640
Speaker 4: People expect them to make a jump this year. I know, Anthony,

2695
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:14,040
Speaker 4: you expect them to make a giant leap Calvin Ridley

2696
02:09:14,080 --> 02:09:15,960
Speaker 4: if you forgot, In case you forgot, know that he's

2697
02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:16,400
Speaker 4: a baller.

2698
02:09:16,480 --> 02:09:18,000
Speaker 2: Look at the place he made last week.

2699
02:09:18,240 --> 02:09:20,840
Speaker 4: So I trust Kansas City even if they were to

2700
02:09:20,840 --> 02:09:22,400
Speaker 4: find a way to lose this game, to still be

2701
02:09:22,400 --> 02:09:24,120
Speaker 4: good enough to dig themselves out of a hole.

2702
02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:25,440
Speaker 2: If you're Jacksonville.

2703
02:09:25,480 --> 02:09:28,000
Speaker 4: Just from a pure confidence standpoint, with a team that

2704
02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:30,240
Speaker 4: doesn't have a lot of experience, I think it's a

2705
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 4: big game for them. It will be a statement victory

2706
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:34,880
Speaker 4: if they can beat the feed to beat them early

2707
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:35,400
Speaker 4: in the season.

2708
02:09:36,120 --> 02:09:39,920
Speaker 1: All right, Chargers, guys, all of a sudden they were

2709
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:41,960
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a cross roads, no Ackler,

2710
02:09:42,960 --> 02:09:45,360
Speaker 1: and they lose the heartbreaker last week, and to shoot

2711
02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:48,920
Speaker 1: out with Miami. What do you do because now all

2712
02:09:48,920 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, if you lose the Tennessee, now you're

2713
02:09:52,440 --> 02:09:56,440
Speaker 1: hing two. You know, I was surprised how poorly their

2714
02:09:56,440 --> 02:09:59,960
Speaker 1: defense is. Then you know, things can get a little

2715
02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:02,920
Speaker 1: can go off course pretty quickly. I mean, you got

2716
02:10:02,920 --> 02:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings, the Raiders, but then you got the Cowboys

2717
02:10:05,800 --> 02:10:08,880
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs and it starts to get a

2718
02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:09,560
Speaker 1: little hairy.

2719
02:10:10,560 --> 02:10:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm a little I can't tell how much

2720
02:10:13,960 --> 02:10:16,440
Speaker 3: of this I put on just hey, Week one, Miami

2721
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:19,160
Speaker 3: Chargers like great matchup right, like, so part of me

2722
02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:21,240
Speaker 3: wants to put all of this like two good defenses

2723
02:10:21,280 --> 02:10:22,960
Speaker 3: gave up a ton of points, so I want to

2724
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 3: give him some credit. But what's tough about this? And

2725
02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:28,080
Speaker 3: let's oversimplify for a second. Good teams find a way

2726
02:10:28,080 --> 02:10:29,760
Speaker 3: to win. Bad teams find a way to lose, like

2727
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 3: the Chargers for a long time have found a way

2728
02:10:32,040 --> 02:10:34,280
Speaker 3: to lose these types of games. So I do think

2729
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:37,640
Speaker 3: it's concerning seeing an offense that is that good and

2730
02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:39,560
Speaker 3: the defense has a bunch of players on it. They're

2731
02:10:39,560 --> 02:10:41,560
Speaker 3: supposed to be stars, and then they come out and

2732
02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:44,400
Speaker 3: they just don't look good enough to get that win.

2733
02:10:44,560 --> 02:10:47,160
Speaker 3: So I look, I think the Chargers are a top

2734
02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:50,160
Speaker 3: tier team in the AFC, but they didn't look like

2735
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:53,720
Speaker 3: a top Tierchier team in the AFC. Defensively, the Titans

2736
02:10:53,720 --> 02:10:56,080
Speaker 3: won't threaten them the way all over the ball that

2737
02:10:56,440 --> 02:10:59,480
Speaker 3: obviously Miami did, So I think the Chargers probably get

2738
02:10:59,560 --> 02:11:02,879
Speaker 3: right in this one. But man, I just I'm concerned

2739
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 3: with how their defense looked.

2740
02:11:04,560 --> 02:11:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like the coaching matchup here for the

2741
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:10,760
Speaker 4: Chargers is my thing, So I trust Mike Vrabel to

2742
02:11:10,760 --> 02:11:13,080
Speaker 4: be able to dowle something up against Justin Herbert, who

2743
02:11:13,080 --> 02:11:15,120
Speaker 4: was a phenomenal player in one of the best quarterbacks

2744
02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:16,720
Speaker 4: in the league. But when you don't have one of

2745
02:11:16,760 --> 02:11:19,440
Speaker 4: the best weapons in the entire sport in Austin Ekler

2746
02:11:19,480 --> 02:11:22,400
Speaker 4: back there, that changes things, changes things in your passing

2747
02:11:22,440 --> 02:11:25,800
Speaker 4: game and your run game, play action, all of that. Tennessee,

2748
02:11:25,960 --> 02:11:27,360
Speaker 4: I think is going to have that. They still have

2749
02:11:27,400 --> 02:11:28,680
Speaker 4: a battering ram of Derrik Henry.

2750
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 2: I know they're doing a bit of a run share

2751
02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:33,080
Speaker 2: back there this season with a rookie, and the Chargers

2752
02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:35,840
Speaker 2: run defense was terrible last year and Miami didn't really

2753
02:11:35,880 --> 02:11:38,240
Speaker 2: exploit it last week because they didn't need to.

2754
02:11:38,560 --> 02:11:40,600
Speaker 4: They just threw the ball all over the place. So

2755
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:42,160
Speaker 4: I like Tennessee in this matchup.

2756
02:11:43,120 --> 02:11:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, I have this weird feeling now.

2757
02:11:46,120 --> 02:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I know it's way early. I have this weird feeling

2758
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:52,480
Speaker 1: that Brandon Staley, who we always thought was a disaster

2759
02:11:53,160 --> 02:11:57,320
Speaker 1: who despite having really a lot of talent, things can

2760
02:11:57,360 --> 02:12:01,280
Speaker 1: go awry. Then there's a new code coach, and then

2761
02:12:01,440 --> 02:12:04,760
Speaker 1: there is the leap that the Chargers make once they

2762
02:12:04,800 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 1: get a legitimate coach. Because I brand and Staley. I

2763
02:12:08,440 --> 02:12:11,200
Speaker 1: just do not like there's very little I like about him.

2764
02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:13,880
Speaker 4: There were rumblings, you know, guys, Sorry Jason, I know

2765
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:16,840
Speaker 4: when Kellen Moore was hired because he was kind of

2766
02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:18,640
Speaker 4: on a bit of a fast track, at least among

2767
02:12:18,720 --> 02:12:21,480
Speaker 4: some people to be on head coach watch head coaching Watch.

2768
02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:25,200
Speaker 4: So there's a thought that if things go sideways this year.

2769
02:12:25,280 --> 02:12:26,920
Speaker 4: I don't think Brandon Steely gets the AX in the

2770
02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:28,560
Speaker 4: middle of the season, but if he gets the AX

2771
02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:30,680
Speaker 4: at the end of the year but the offense is productive,

2772
02:12:31,160 --> 02:12:33,440
Speaker 4: don't be surprised if Kellen Moore gets the call up

2773
02:12:33,480 --> 02:12:35,120
Speaker 4: to be the head coach of the Chargers going into

2774
02:12:35,200 --> 02:12:35,680
Speaker 4: next season.

2775
02:12:36,080 --> 02:12:38,200
Speaker 3: But think about, like, it may not even take that. Like,

2776
02:12:38,600 --> 02:12:40,920
Speaker 3: if you're right with your prediction and the Titans win

2777
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 3: this game, they fall to zero to two, I mean,

2778
02:12:43,160 --> 02:12:46,400
Speaker 3: as coach points out, like the Vikings, Raiders, Cowboys, Chiefs,

2779
02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:49,040
Speaker 3: they'll get a winner two out of there. But if

2780
02:12:49,040 --> 02:12:50,560
Speaker 3: they hit that Bears game and they're all of a

2781
02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:53,520
Speaker 3: sudden two and four, like I don't know. I mean,

2782
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:56,280
Speaker 3: I can't imagine the organization's gonna feel very good about this.

2783
02:12:56,360 --> 02:12:59,120
Speaker 3: I think I think there's sneaky pressure on the Chargers

2784
02:12:59,120 --> 02:13:01,600
Speaker 3: to get this thing right. But also they just lost

2785
02:13:01,600 --> 02:13:03,200
Speaker 3: to a team that looked by far like the best

2786
02:13:03,200 --> 02:13:05,800
Speaker 3: team in the AFC in Week one. So maybe maybe

2787
02:13:05,840 --> 02:13:08,000
Speaker 3: all of this kids right just by not playing the Dolphins.

2788
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I gotta yo. My dad, my father,

2789
02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Gargano, he uh, he's listening in Naples, Florida, and

2790
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:20,120
Speaker 1: he wants to tell you, tell you guys, he's loving

2791
02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:22,720
Speaker 1: the show. So uh. You know, he's always been a

2792
02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:25,000
Speaker 1: big Figgie fan and now he's a big FITZI fan.

2793
02:13:25,520 --> 02:13:29,960
Speaker 3: Look at that? Is it pop? Is that what the

2794

2797
02:13:38,400 --> 02:13:41,200

02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:43,360

Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is what I'm talking about. Like

2802
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:51,480
Speaker 3: it's just when but when your name is Anthony gar Like,

2803
02:13:51,880 --> 02:13:55,160
Speaker 3: we're not that creative. Nobody's ever going Jason fitz Junior.

2804
02:13:55,200 --> 02:13:58,400
Speaker 3: Nobody's ever got like, you know, my buddy, it's Junior.

2805
02:13:58,520 --> 02:13:59,320
Speaker 1: Sounds like it.

2806
02:13:59,240 --> 02:14:01,680
Speaker 2: Does sound like an artist of some sort. Yeah, you

2807
02:14:01,760 --> 02:14:04,400
Speaker 2: know my father and father's footsteps. I like that.

2808
02:14:04,880 --> 02:14:07,760
Speaker 3: My buddy Harry is Harry Douglas the fourth, right, Like

2809
02:14:07,920 --> 02:14:09,600
Speaker 3: when your name is Harry Douglas, you could be Harry

2810
02:14:09,600 --> 02:14:11,600
Speaker 3: Douglas the fourth and it makes you feel almost like

2811
02:14:11,680 --> 02:14:15,120
Speaker 3: royalty rather like HD four. That feels like royalty. I'm

2812
02:14:15,120 --> 02:14:17,960
Speaker 3: all on that. Ain't nobody calling it like like JF

2813
02:14:18,040 --> 02:14:20,600
Speaker 3: three ain't gonna be happening like that just feels, you know,

2814
02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just saying so. I don't think I

2815
02:14:22,520 --> 02:14:25,040
Speaker 3: have any kids out there, but if I do, Jason

2816
02:14:25,040 --> 02:14:27,920
Speaker 3: fitz Junior isn't a good name. But Anthony Garcano's Oh

2817
02:14:27,960 --> 02:14:28,720
Speaker 3: that feels good.

2818
02:14:29,280 --> 02:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Good, So greed bag guys. I love Jordan, lovebat I was.

2819
02:14:35,600 --> 02:14:38,040
Speaker 1: We got a little sneak preview last year and we

2820
02:14:38,200 --> 02:14:41,680
Speaker 1: liked what we saw and he looked great in Week

2821
02:14:41,760 --> 02:14:46,360
Speaker 1: one and I think they gotta I like him a lot.

2822
02:14:46,440 --> 02:14:48,240
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be good for them.

2823
02:14:48,440 --> 02:14:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looked great. The Bears looked terrible. But also

2824
02:14:52,240 --> 02:14:55,360
Speaker 3: like Atlanta wasn't don't don't miss me with the numbers

2825
02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:58,440
Speaker 3: like go back and watch it. Atlanta was not good offensive, no,

2826
02:14:58,640 --> 02:15:01,640
Speaker 3: and Desmond ritter Is they are scared to let Desmond

2827
02:15:01,720 --> 02:15:04,240
Speaker 3: Ridderd do anything. I don't know what Arthur Smith's trying

2828
02:15:04,280 --> 02:15:06,800
Speaker 3: to do with that offense. So I think Atlanta's a

2829
02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:09,520
Speaker 3: liability in their play calling right now. So yeah, I could.

2830
02:15:09,880 --> 02:15:11,800
Speaker 3: I think Green Bay wins this game and Jordan Love

2831
02:15:12,040 --> 02:15:14,840
Speaker 3: the hype. Can you imagine Jordan Love's starting too to

2832
02:15:14,920 --> 02:15:17,520
Speaker 3: zero Like Packers fans are immediately gonna feed.

2833
02:15:17,600 --> 02:15:21,920
Speaker 1: J Rogers and Jordan Loves too and oh my god.

2834
02:15:22,040 --> 02:15:24,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god. And then it's like, oh, I'm sorry,

2835
02:15:24,080 --> 02:15:26,360
Speaker 3: we just went from Brett Farv to Aaron Rodgers to

2836
02:15:26,440 --> 02:15:29,400
Speaker 3: Jordan Love. They're gonna anoint him as the next guy,

2837
02:15:29,520 --> 02:15:31,720
Speaker 3: like it's it's crazy. But he looked great week one,

2838
02:15:31,960 --> 02:15:33,960
Speaker 3: and I don't think Atlanta's offense looked like I had

2839
02:15:34,040 --> 02:15:35,520
Speaker 3: any idea what the hall it was trying to do.

2840
02:15:35,560 --> 02:15:36,960
Speaker 3: So I'm in on green Bay winning that game.

2841
02:15:37,040 --> 02:15:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, they look bad, and Atlanta's played so much pressure

2842
02:15:39,560 --> 02:15:41,960
Speaker 4: on Bijar Robinson have to be the guy, and he

2843
02:15:42,040 --> 02:15:44,680
Speaker 4: looked good last week but certainly didn't explode on Tyler

2844
02:15:44,760 --> 02:15:46,480
Speaker 4: is years the one that scored a couple of touchdowns.

2845
02:15:46,520 --> 02:15:49,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Green Bay roles in this one.

2846
02:15:49,480 --> 02:15:51,400
Speaker 4: And even we talked about before the season started last

2847
02:15:51,440 --> 02:15:54,320
Speaker 4: week guys with Jordan Love, so he has to be spectacular.

2848
02:15:54,600 --> 02:15:57,000
Speaker 2: Green Bay has a good roster. He just needs to

2849
02:15:57,040 --> 02:15:57,440
Speaker 2: be good.

2850
02:15:57,760 --> 02:15:59,240
Speaker 4: He doesn't have to be great, and so I think

2851
02:15:59,800 --> 02:16:01,600
Speaker 4: if he perform the way he performed last week against

2852
02:16:01,640 --> 02:16:04,280
Speaker 4: Chicago throughout the majority of the season, I mean, there's

2853
02:16:04,280 --> 02:16:05,879
Speaker 4: no reason why they can't win that division.

2854
02:16:06,760 --> 02:16:10,120
Speaker 1: Hotly, I'm with you, man, I really am. I feel

2855
02:16:10,200 --> 02:16:10,840
Speaker 1: the same way.

2856
02:16:11,280 --> 02:16:13,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the Cowboys.

2857
02:16:13,240 --> 02:16:17,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of hype, the Cowboys, that's the way to start

2858
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:23,000
Speaker 1: a season. That defense looks wicked. They take out I

2859
02:16:23,040 --> 02:16:28,280
Speaker 1: mean two, it's amazing. The first two scores are defensive scores.

2860
02:16:28,720 --> 02:16:31,160
Speaker 1: They're all over Daniel Jones. Now, I know it's the

2861
02:16:31,240 --> 02:16:36,480
Speaker 1: Weir's weather, but the Cowboy defense looked pretty pretty damn good.

2862
02:16:37,680 --> 02:16:41,800
Speaker 1: I still don't understand Daniel Jones and the offense and

2863
02:16:41,920 --> 02:16:45,360
Speaker 1: all the hype that surrounded the Giants, And that's kind

2864
02:16:45,360 --> 02:16:47,360
Speaker 1: of how it played out at least Sunday night.

2865
02:16:48,160 --> 02:16:51,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the Cowboys just were monsters on the

2866
02:16:51,240 --> 02:16:53,920
Speaker 3: How is it possible that Parsons is better this year?

2867
02:16:53,959 --> 02:16:55,160
Speaker 3: Than it was last year, Like.

2868
02:16:55,400 --> 02:16:57,000
Speaker 1: How is it possible to blockable?

2869
02:16:57,240 --> 02:16:59,800
Speaker 3: Like they just had no answer for I did talk

2870
02:16:59,840 --> 02:17:01,879
Speaker 3: to I thought this was kind of interesting. I talked

2871
02:17:01,920 --> 02:17:04,360
Speaker 3: to Jeff Schwartz this week and I asked Jeff why

2872
02:17:04,480 --> 02:17:06,640
Speaker 3: offensive lines are so far behind, and he said, the

2873
02:17:06,680 --> 02:17:09,360
Speaker 3: one thing you don't practice in training camp or in

2874
02:17:09,400 --> 02:17:12,680
Speaker 3: preseason is movement on the defensive line. So guy shifting

2875
02:17:12,720 --> 02:17:14,760
Speaker 3: from one spot to another. He's like, there's just not

2876
02:17:14,840 --> 02:17:17,720
Speaker 3: a good way to practice it. So your communication has

2877
02:17:17,760 --> 02:17:20,160
Speaker 3: to be spot on as an offensive line. It wasn't

2878
02:17:20,200 --> 02:17:22,800
Speaker 3: obviously for the Giants, but guess what it's not gonna

2879
02:17:22,800 --> 02:17:25,199
Speaker 3: be for the Jets either, Right, the Jets offensive line

2880
02:17:25,560 --> 02:17:28,600
Speaker 3: is their weakness. So now Zach Wilson, who's not gonna

2881
02:17:28,640 --> 02:17:31,120
Speaker 3: not particularly good, is gonna have to take on this

2882
02:17:31,240 --> 02:17:33,840
Speaker 3: Cowboys defense. Like that's just this game feels like it's

2883
02:17:33,879 --> 02:17:36,720
Speaker 3: gonna get gross early on. Like I just I feel

2884
02:17:36,720 --> 02:17:39,760
Speaker 3: like at this point moving forward, the Cowboys cut out

2885
02:17:39,800 --> 02:17:43,000
Speaker 3: so the Cowboys defense could outscore the Cardinals offense most weeks,

2886
02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:45,160
Speaker 3: So it's as wild to see.

2887
02:17:45,520 --> 02:17:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Dallas this weekend two for all the

2888
02:17:48,320 --> 02:17:50,920
Speaker 4: reasons that you guys mentioned, and it could look a

2889
02:17:50,959 --> 02:17:53,720
Speaker 4: lot like last week. Now, look the Jets off of

2890
02:17:53,760 --> 02:17:55,760
Speaker 4: our ski defense, excuse me, as one of the best

2891
02:17:55,800 --> 02:17:57,640
Speaker 4: in the league, and they're gonna show some fights. So

2892
02:17:58,000 --> 02:17:59,520
Speaker 4: but as I have, the Cowboy offense really had to

2893
02:17:59,560 --> 02:18:02,039
Speaker 4: do much week because the defense was just so dominant.

2894
02:18:02,080 --> 02:18:06,120
Speaker 4: So with Zach Wilson back there making mistakes being Zach

2895
02:18:06,160 --> 02:18:09,080
Speaker 4: Wilson against that Dallas defense, I think the Jets have

2896
02:18:09,080 --> 02:18:10,560
Speaker 4: put up a fire, but I don't think it's gonna

2897
02:18:10,560 --> 02:18:11,359
Speaker 4: be much of a contest.

2898
02:18:12,680 --> 02:18:14,680
Speaker 1: I feel you, my brothers, I feel you. All right,

2899
02:18:14,720 --> 02:18:17,280
Speaker 1: let's take a quick time out. We're gonna get our man,

2900

Speaker 1: the Big Brain, up to take a look at the

2901
02:18:19,640 --> 02:18:23,600
Speaker 1: weekend from a betting standpoint. In fact, one note, according

2902
02:18:23,640 --> 02:18:28,080
Speaker 1: to Dann Revel, there are two times the number of

2903
02:18:28,240 --> 02:18:32,959
Speaker 1: bets on Colorado laying twenty three and a half to

2904
02:18:33,160 --> 02:18:38,600
Speaker 1: cover then any other college football team today, and Colorado

2905
02:18:38,640 --> 02:18:41,879
Speaker 1: Colorado State is the most bet game. The over of

2906
02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:44,720
Speaker 1: sixty two and a half is the most bet over,

2907
02:18:45,400 --> 02:18:50,400
Speaker 1: which is absolutely wild. The Prime Love continues. We'll talk

2908
02:18:50,440 --> 02:18:53,080
Speaker 1: about it next with our man, the Big Brain. You're

2921
02:19:39,760 --> 02:19:41,800
Speaker 4: All right, Well we'll start with some Major League baseball,

2922
02:19:41,800 --> 02:19:44,240
Speaker 4: as the Dodgers are inching ever closer to clinching the

2923
02:19:44,280 --> 02:19:46,240
Speaker 4: National League West. They picked up a six to three

2924
02:19:46,320 --> 02:19:49,760
Speaker 4: victory and Seattle, so their magic number is now two.

2925
02:19:50,200 --> 02:19:53,039
Speaker 4: With Texas and Houston both losing. Down Girl, with Texas

2926
02:19:53,040 --> 02:19:55,840
Speaker 4: and Houston both ay I sat down Texas and Houston.

2927
02:19:56,080 --> 02:20:00,959
Speaker 4: The coach Toronto's a half k behind the Mariners for

2928
02:20:01,000 --> 02:20:03,600
Speaker 4: the final Al wild card spot. They picked up a

2929
02:20:03,640 --> 02:20:06,320
Speaker 4: three to nothing victory over Boston. Tampa Bay have won

2930
02:20:06,400 --> 02:20:09,840
Speaker 4: nine of their last eleven. They defeated Baltimore seven to one,

2931
02:20:09,920 --> 02:20:12,760
Speaker 4: so the Rays and Orioles are tied atop the American

2932
02:20:12,840 --> 02:20:15,560
Speaker 4: League East and the nationally wildcard race. Philly holds the

2933
02:20:15,560 --> 02:20:18,280
Speaker 4: top spot. They beat the Cardinals five to four. Reds

2934
02:20:18,280 --> 02:20:20,240
Speaker 4: and Mets are should say the Reds beat the Mets.

2935
02:20:20,280 --> 02:20:23,200
Speaker 4: Arizona defeated the cub six to four. Cincinnati and the

2936
02:20:23,200 --> 02:20:25,879
Speaker 4: Diamondbacks are tied for the final wildcard in the NL

Speaker 1: football Saturday.

2954
02:21:17,959 --> 02:21:20,360
Speaker 11: Good morning, See, I think it should be a great Saturday,

2955
02:21:20,480 --> 02:21:25,280
Speaker 11: my friend, big Sleep. Not as many top heavy games

2956
02:21:25,320 --> 02:21:28,960
Speaker 11: as you've seen, maybe in a quote unquote great week

2957
02:21:29,000 --> 02:21:32,160
Speaker 11: of college football, but still enough good bet that I

2958
02:21:32,320 --> 02:21:34,400
Speaker 11: found that I'm looking for to putting in. I've already

2959
02:21:34,400 --> 02:21:34,760
Speaker 11: put in.

2960
02:21:35,640 --> 02:21:37,879
Speaker 3: I love so so hit me then with a little

2961
02:21:37,879 --> 02:21:40,560
Speaker 3: bit of knowledge here, because when we've got games like

2962
02:21:40,600 --> 02:21:42,280
Speaker 3: this this weekend, that where a lot of them can

2963
02:21:42,320 --> 02:21:45,120
Speaker 3: be blowouts and we see huge points spreads, do you

2964
02:21:45,120 --> 02:21:47,160
Speaker 3: get nervous, like when you're looking at some of these

2965
02:21:47,160 --> 02:21:49,240
Speaker 3: spreads at the thought of, hey, this start of my

2966
02:21:49,320 --> 02:21:51,440
Speaker 3: ken pold, this team might take the gas off the

2967
02:21:51,480 --> 02:21:53,440
Speaker 3: brain to pull the foot off the gas. You know

2968
02:21:53,440 --> 02:21:55,480
Speaker 3: what I mean? Like, do you get nervous about the

2969
02:21:55,560 --> 02:21:56,560
Speaker 3: large spreads?

2970
02:21:57,200 --> 02:21:59,840
Speaker 11: Well, it's a great question. Yeah, it's funning. Normally, I

2971
02:22:00,280 --> 02:22:05,200
Speaker 11: am very not willing to lay these big numbers because

2972
02:22:05,240 --> 02:22:06,680
Speaker 11: of that. What I'll maybe do is if I like

2973
02:22:06,720 --> 02:22:09,000
Speaker 11: a big favorite, Let's say, if I like the big

2974
02:22:09,120 --> 02:22:11,840
Speaker 11: team laying thirty four points. Maybe I'll lay in the

2975
02:22:11,879 --> 02:22:15,720
Speaker 11: first half twenty and just say okay, because I know

2976
02:22:15,800 --> 02:22:18,680
Speaker 11: for the first half you always get maxed effort for

2977
02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:21,680
Speaker 11: one half okay, and then the second half again. One

2978
02:22:21,720 --> 02:22:25,040
Speaker 11: of my favorite tricks when you get those games. Alabama

2979
02:22:25,080 --> 02:22:27,120
Speaker 11: is the king of this. Alabama. Let's say is a

2980
02:22:27,120 --> 02:22:31,359
Speaker 11: thirty seven point favorite. They're off thirty one nothing at halftime,

2981
02:22:31,760 --> 02:22:34,760
Speaker 11: that second half ends like seven to three Alabama, seven

2982
02:22:34,760 --> 02:22:37,040
Speaker 11: to nothing. In Alabama, I'll look to hammer the under

2983
02:22:37,160 --> 02:22:39,760
Speaker 11: because what you get in situations like that, or run

2984
02:22:39,840 --> 02:22:43,840
Speaker 11: after run after run from the favorite and then the underdogs,

2985
02:22:43,840 --> 02:22:46,400
Speaker 11: who can't even match up physically, just isn't good enough

2986
02:22:46,400 --> 02:22:48,959
Speaker 11: to score the ball. But if I like a big favorite,

2987
02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:52,360
Speaker 11: much more apps to do it in the first half

2988
02:22:52,800 --> 02:22:55,840
Speaker 11: because of exactly what you said, I don't know, often

2989
02:22:56,160 --> 02:23:00,520
Speaker 11: eliminate the eliminate having to deal with the back to

2990
02:23:00,520 --> 02:23:03,960
Speaker 11: our covers. The team is not putting in their top players.

2991
02:23:04,520 --> 02:23:06,520
Speaker 11: So I'd much want to lay a few more points

2992
02:23:06,920 --> 02:23:10,240
Speaker 11: in the first half, knowing that I get a maximum effort.

2993
02:23:11,720 --> 02:23:14,039
Speaker 1: Makes sense, It makes perfect sense, all right. Well, why

2994
02:23:14,040 --> 02:23:16,920
Speaker 1: don't you hear this with some selections and you just

2995
02:23:17,040 --> 02:23:19,800
Speaker 1: run throw them, all right? So what are you looking

2996
02:23:19,879 --> 02:23:21,800
Speaker 1: at today that we should be on.

2997
02:23:22,720 --> 02:23:25,920
Speaker 11: You know, it's interesting. Kansas State anth me like, I'm

2998
02:23:25,959 --> 02:23:29,039
Speaker 11: a big fan of their quarterback. I think Howard's like

2999
02:23:29,120 --> 02:23:33,240
Speaker 11: a really good player. Missouri. I think it is very

3000
02:23:33,760 --> 02:23:37,320
Speaker 11: okay at CC team Kansas State's laying three. I think

3001
02:23:37,400 --> 02:23:40,360
Speaker 11: Kansas State, you know, they're defending. They were in the

3002
02:23:40,360 --> 02:23:43,200
Speaker 11: Big twelve championship, and they won the Big twelve championship

3003
02:23:43,280 --> 02:23:46,320
Speaker 11: last year. And if you look at you know Howard,

3004
02:23:46,360 --> 02:23:48,040
Speaker 11: he's the only time he's ever lost in his career

3005
02:23:48,200 --> 02:23:51,320
Speaker 11: was to brance Young. I mean, I don't want to

3006
02:23:51,400 --> 02:23:53,879
Speaker 11: think Missouri has much. They can't run the ball all.

3007
02:23:55,040 --> 02:23:57,600
Speaker 11: I was surprised that Kansasdate's only laying three here. My

3008
02:23:57,720 --> 02:24:00,920
Speaker 11: numbers made this closer to a touchdown. I'm gonna take

3009
02:24:00,959 --> 02:24:02,480
Speaker 11: Kansas City. I think I have had a pretty decent

3010
02:24:02,520 --> 02:24:05,000
Speaker 11: team there against a pretty mediocre team. I think that

3011
02:24:05,120 --> 02:24:10,640
Speaker 11: line just too low. If the Oklahoma again interesting, it

3012
02:24:10,640 --> 02:24:14,640
Speaker 11: seems like since fifteen sixty two they've had a bad defense.

3013
02:24:15,240 --> 02:24:18,560
Speaker 11: Maybe they're forming me this year, but I feel like

3014
02:24:18,640 --> 02:24:21,280
Speaker 11: right now they actually had a good defense. I think that,

3015
02:24:21,480 --> 02:24:24,440
Speaker 11: you know, because they played a pretty talented at the

3016
02:24:24,520 --> 02:24:26,760
Speaker 11: new team and they shut them down pretty good. They

3017
02:24:26,840 --> 02:24:30,320
Speaker 11: really locked them down. I like the under an Oklahoma tools,

3018
02:24:30,360 --> 02:24:33,959
Speaker 11: so under fifty nine points, well, I know doing Gabriel

3019
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:36,600
Speaker 11: and company will do their share to score points. I

3020
02:24:36,600 --> 02:24:39,400
Speaker 11: have no doubt that Oklahoma's to score thirty four plus

3021
02:24:39,520 --> 02:24:42,680
Speaker 11: or whatnot. I can see tolls of flat out, you know,

3022
02:24:43,080 --> 02:24:45,080
Speaker 11: getting ten or left, and I actually think that's what's

3023
02:24:45,080 --> 02:24:47,560
Speaker 11: going to happen. I don't think there's gonna be sixty

3024
02:24:47,600 --> 02:24:50,360
Speaker 11: points in this game. I think Oklahoma again, maybe I'm

3025
02:24:50,360 --> 02:24:52,200
Speaker 11: being fooled, they've been being tricked by Actually if they

3026
02:24:52,200 --> 02:24:56,039
Speaker 11: finally have a defense to maybe you know, keep up

3027
02:24:56,080 --> 02:24:58,080
Speaker 11: with their offense this year. I don't think we're gonna

3028
02:24:58,080 --> 02:25:01,600
Speaker 11: get sixty points in that game. And that's just you know,

3029
02:25:01,720 --> 02:25:03,840
Speaker 11: just my opinion, Anthony. And now I'll give you another one.

3030
02:25:04,240 --> 02:25:07,720
Speaker 11: LSU against Missobe State ls just laying less than ten.

3031
02:25:07,800 --> 02:25:12,160
Speaker 11: My numbers made this twelve and you could lay nine. Look,

3032
02:25:12,200 --> 02:25:14,240
Speaker 11: I don't think Misissippi State's really that good. I mean,

3033
02:25:14,240 --> 02:25:17,920
Speaker 11: they got very lucky to be god awful Arizona team,

3034
02:25:18,120 --> 02:25:20,680
Speaker 11: and they only won because they are plus four and tronovers.

3035
02:25:20,760 --> 02:25:23,440
Speaker 11: When you're plus four and tronovers, Anthony, you should be

3036
02:25:23,440 --> 02:25:26,720
Speaker 11: winning that game by double digit left on and overtime.

3037
02:25:27,080 --> 02:25:31,880
Speaker 11: I know LSU had the horrible, disappointing performance against Flaw State,

3038
02:25:32,520 --> 02:25:35,160
Speaker 11: but I do believe in the team. It's important that

3039
02:25:35,160 --> 02:25:38,200
Speaker 11: I believe in the coach. I think LSU should be

3040
02:25:38,240 --> 02:25:41,520
Speaker 11: able to win this game by two touchdowns laying single digits.

3041
02:25:41,760 --> 02:25:45,240
Speaker 11: I'm gonna take my chances. This point's maybe more of

3042
02:25:45,280 --> 02:25:48,800
Speaker 11: a field play Anthony, Georgia. You know, I know they

3043
02:25:48,800 --> 02:25:51,480
Speaker 11: haven't give up any points. I get it, but just

3044
02:25:51,640 --> 02:25:54,720
Speaker 11: watching them, I haven't really been that impressed. I know

3045
02:25:54,800 --> 02:25:56,400
Speaker 11: that scores look okay when you've seen them at the

3046
02:25:56,480 --> 02:25:59,240
Speaker 11: end of the games, but I feel like South Carolina

3047
02:25:59,280 --> 02:26:01,960
Speaker 11: can maybe keep that game a little bit close. Twenty

3048
02:26:01,959 --> 02:26:04,240
Speaker 11: seven points they just a little bit too high. I

3049
02:26:04,320 --> 02:26:07,680
Speaker 11: understand how bad South Carolina's defense. I'm sure their offense

3050
02:26:07,720 --> 02:26:11,440
Speaker 11: so they allowed nine sacks versus North Carolina. But said

3051
02:26:11,520 --> 02:26:15,280
Speaker 11: something about me tells me that Georgia should not be

3052
02:26:15,360 --> 02:26:17,840
Speaker 11: favored by about four touchdowns this one. I like the

3053
02:26:17,920 --> 02:26:19,080
Speaker 11: underdog in South Carolina.

3054
02:26:20,120 --> 02:26:22,760
Speaker 3: So one note that we were talking about earlier is

3055
02:26:23,200 --> 02:26:25,240
Speaker 3: Darren Bell tweeted out there's two times the number of

3056
02:26:25,280 --> 02:26:28,640
Speaker 3: bets on Colorado to cover than any other college football team,

3057
02:26:28,720 --> 02:26:31,040
Speaker 3: and everybody seems to be putting a ton of money

3058
02:26:31,080 --> 02:26:33,600
Speaker 3: on the over. How does that impact? I mean that

3059
02:26:33,640 --> 02:26:34,560
Speaker 3: that's the problem.

3060
02:26:36,320 --> 02:26:37,960
Speaker 11: Do you I like the over in that game to

3061
02:26:38,800 --> 02:26:42,720
Speaker 11: get Jason like I? I it's interesting. You know Colorado,

3062
02:26:42,800 --> 02:26:46,080
Speaker 11: that's the team, not just me, but basically any any

3063
02:26:46,120 --> 02:26:51,040
Speaker 11: pro hinting everythday I am upgraded Colorado with any other

3064
02:26:51,120 --> 02:26:54,280
Speaker 11: team in my entire board. And again, you have to

3065
02:26:54,360 --> 02:26:56,880
Speaker 11: adjust with the times I am. I did not see

3066
02:26:56,920 --> 02:27:00,360
Speaker 11: this coming, but samser is talking about the player should

3067
02:27:00,440 --> 02:27:04,600
Speaker 11: or looks absolutely terrific to me. And listen in the

3068
02:27:04,640 --> 02:27:08,080
Speaker 11: game like this again, and I think they showed it

3069
02:27:08,160 --> 02:27:12,680
Speaker 11: last week. Whether it's fake or not, or but they

3070
02:27:13,040 --> 02:27:16,160
Speaker 11: see the play like it. It's you know what Norvell

3071
02:27:16,320 --> 02:27:19,680
Speaker 11: did to upset this? You know, Dion and maybe team

3072
02:27:20,320 --> 02:27:22,160
Speaker 11: maybe they will, you know, they won't want to stick

3073
02:27:22,200 --> 02:27:24,320
Speaker 11: it to them and say you listen, it's forty two

3074
02:27:24,320 --> 02:27:27,000
Speaker 11: and offen or forty two ten, let's make it forty

3075
02:27:27,080 --> 02:27:29,520
Speaker 11: nine ten, let's make it fifty six, ten, let's make

3076
02:27:29,520 --> 02:27:31,880
Speaker 11: it sixty three tens. You know you want to come

3077
02:27:31,920 --> 02:27:35,520
Speaker 11: after me, I'll come after you. So I do get

3078
02:27:35,560 --> 02:27:39,640
Speaker 11: the over in that because maybe in a situation where

3079
02:27:40,200 --> 02:27:42,240
Speaker 11: team would maybe be have to take the foot off

3080
02:27:42,240 --> 02:27:44,280
Speaker 11: the brakes, maybe he's going to go James Franklin on them.

3081
02:27:45,560 --> 02:27:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could totally see that. Let's switch to the

3082
02:27:47,640 --> 02:27:51,320
Speaker 1: big boys, and don't forget we're talking to the big brain.

3083
02:27:52,160 --> 02:27:54,279
Speaker 1: And before we get to the NFL, real quick, big Brain,

3084
02:27:54,760 --> 02:27:57,680
Speaker 1: if people want more of you, which I highly suggest,

3085
02:27:57,720 --> 02:27:58,320
Speaker 1: what do they do?

3086
02:27:59,360 --> 02:28:03,879
Speaker 11: Yeah? Right? Website at the at, on Twitter, at Brad's

3087
02:28:04,040 --> 02:28:07,600
Speaker 11: best that have a turn of props, front of games.

3088
02:28:07,760 --> 02:28:11,760
Speaker 11: You get everything, my futures, everything out there. You know,

3089
02:28:12,080 --> 02:28:15,520
Speaker 11: I'll win for you. Yeah. I try to get good information.

3090
02:28:16,240 --> 02:28:18,640
Speaker 11: Uh and again I all I can say is I've

3091
02:28:18,640 --> 02:28:21,520
Speaker 11: been doing this for years and I think if you

3092
02:28:21,680 --> 02:28:23,080
Speaker 11: give it a chance, I think you'll be happy.

3093
02:28:24,240 --> 02:28:29,000
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, big Brain? Looking tomorrow? Interesting matchups. I

3094
02:28:29,400 --> 02:28:31,879
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier. I love the Packers tomorrow

3095
02:28:32,040 --> 02:28:35,560
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I'm a I'm a big believer in Jordan love.

3096
02:28:37,080 --> 02:28:41,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, at it's interesting. That's not one of the games

3097
02:28:41,400 --> 02:28:43,000
Speaker 11: in my car. But I will say that, and that

3098
02:28:43,080 --> 02:28:46,120
Speaker 11: line's actually that line's actually moved after me. That line

3099
02:28:46,160 --> 02:28:49,920
Speaker 11: I think open Green Bay by one one may now

3100
02:28:49,920 --> 02:28:53,280
Speaker 11: it's Atlanta by two. I lean green Bay. I like

3101
02:28:53,320 --> 02:28:55,760
Speaker 11: green Bay and teasers you can get green Bay up

3102
02:28:55,760 --> 02:28:58,039
Speaker 11: from plus two to plus eight. That would be my

3103
02:28:58,160 --> 02:29:02,480
Speaker 11: lean in this game. I did bet Desmond Ritter under

3104
02:29:02,520 --> 02:29:05,680
Speaker 11: one hundred and eighty six passing yards and I bet

3105
02:29:06,560 --> 02:29:09,160
Speaker 11: Drake London under forty seven and a half receiving yards.

3106
02:29:09,480 --> 02:29:11,520
Speaker 11: You know, to me, you know Jyiae Alexander is one

3107
02:29:11,520 --> 02:29:15,040
Speaker 11: of the best cornerbacks in all the NFL. And we saw,

3108
02:29:15,720 --> 02:29:19,199
Speaker 11: you know, Atlanta just you know, vo extremely run centric

3109
02:29:19,560 --> 02:29:23,480
Speaker 11: against Carolina. I think screen Bay at the decent defense,

3110
02:29:23,959 --> 02:29:26,600
Speaker 11: So you know, I don't I'm not expecting. And I

3111
02:29:26,680 --> 02:29:28,240
Speaker 11: like the under in the game too, if you especially

3112
02:29:28,320 --> 02:29:31,240
Speaker 11: define a forty one. I think it's really hard for

3113
02:29:31,280 --> 02:29:33,000
Speaker 11: Atlanta to score a lot of points in this one,

3114
02:29:33,120 --> 02:29:34,640
Speaker 11: and I think anything they're gonna do is to be

3115
02:29:34,640 --> 02:29:35,520
Speaker 11: trying to be on the ground.

3116
02:29:36,200 --> 02:29:38,160
Speaker 3: So what's a game on the NFL slate that you

3117
02:29:38,200 --> 02:29:39,920
Speaker 3: look at that you feel the most confident for?

3118
02:29:40,840 --> 02:29:43,920
Speaker 11: My favorite bet, Jason would probably be Look, you know,

3119
02:29:44,120 --> 02:29:46,280
Speaker 11: I like the Bengals. I do. Look, I know, what

3120
02:29:46,360 --> 02:29:48,320
Speaker 11: do we see last week? We saw a Bengals team

3121
02:29:48,320 --> 02:29:51,080
Speaker 11: that was god awful. I get it. Joe Burrow coming

3122
02:29:51,080 --> 02:29:54,640
Speaker 11: off the injury did absolutely nothing. I think see having

3123
02:29:54,760 --> 02:29:56,640
Speaker 11: watched every staff, I think game Berg I think a

3124
02:29:56,680 --> 02:30:00,520
Speaker 11: lot of that I think was weather related. And Baltimore,

3125
02:30:00,560 --> 02:30:02,680
Speaker 11: I know you look at the final story like, huh

3126
02:30:02,760 --> 02:30:06,480
Speaker 11: they killed the Texans. They really didn't. And I didn't

3127
02:30:06,480 --> 02:30:11,640
Speaker 11: think they looked at sharp quite honestly. And they're missing Linderbaum,

3128
02:30:12,000 --> 02:30:14,680
Speaker 11: Ronnie Stanley. They're two best offers a line. Then they're

3129
02:30:14,680 --> 02:30:19,199
Speaker 11: missing they're two you know, they're two back corners, uh Humphrey.

3130
02:30:20,040 --> 02:30:25,200
Speaker 11: And then they're missing uh JK Dobamson towards Achilles. You know,

3131
02:30:25,240 --> 02:30:28,360
Speaker 11: they're out five starters this week. To me, this line,

3132
02:30:28,600 --> 02:30:32,119
Speaker 11: if everyone was healthy, if there was not one injury,

3133
02:30:32,720 --> 02:30:34,720
Speaker 11: my power rankings make the Bengals a three and a

3134
02:30:34,760 --> 02:30:39,440
Speaker 11: half point favorite. Okay, I'm laying three with five starters

3135
02:30:39,440 --> 02:30:42,879
Speaker 11: down Again, I think this line is honestly, you know,

3136
02:30:42,920 --> 02:30:46,240
Speaker 11: should should be closer to at least another two points.

3137
02:30:46,800 --> 02:30:49,039
Speaker 11: I think three is way too light. I think the

3138
02:30:49,080 --> 02:30:52,480
Speaker 11: Bengals at home get healthy. I like them to beat

3139
02:30:52,480 --> 02:30:53,240
Speaker 11: Baltimore here.

3140
02:30:54,080 --> 02:30:58,200
Speaker 1: Uh. Curious about the Sunday night are Miami, which look

3141
02:30:58,280 --> 02:31:02,119
Speaker 1: so potent against the Yards, is offensively too. A monster

3142
02:31:02,280 --> 02:31:07,199
Speaker 1: day against New England more of a defensive types team.

3143
02:31:07,400 --> 02:31:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious in New England Patriots fall thoh and two.

3144
02:31:11,720 --> 02:31:12,680
Speaker 2: How do you see this game?

3145
02:31:13,440 --> 02:31:16,720
Speaker 11: Yeah? There these are two teams, Anthony, that I respect

3146
02:31:16,760 --> 02:31:19,200
Speaker 11: both of them. I'm really not looking to go against

3147
02:31:19,240 --> 02:31:22,000
Speaker 11: either teams. Think both these teams could be underrated. But

3148
02:31:22,080 --> 02:31:26,920
Speaker 11: I did bet to Patriots. I did. Yeah, yeah, I

3149
02:31:26,920 --> 02:31:30,080
Speaker 11: took the Patriots plus three. Look, but it's not it's

3150
02:31:30,080 --> 02:31:32,360
Speaker 11: not an anti Miami play. It's just more I think

3151
02:31:32,360 --> 02:31:34,880
Speaker 11: New England's good. I think they have a very good defense,

3152
02:31:35,120 --> 02:31:37,440
Speaker 11: and I thought last week against Philadelphia and they did

3153
02:31:37,480 --> 02:31:41,600
Speaker 11: everything except win the game. They severely outplayed Philadelphia in

3154
02:31:41,640 --> 02:31:44,520
Speaker 11: my opinion at least, but they just they just made

3155
02:31:44,920 --> 02:31:46,920
Speaker 11: you know, at the beginning from the stakes. But I

3156
02:31:46,920 --> 02:31:50,600
Speaker 11: actually thought Matt Jones looked good. And I feel like again,

3157
02:31:50,640 --> 02:31:53,240
Speaker 11: I think the Patriots. My numbers made this closer to

3158
02:31:53,480 --> 02:31:55,320
Speaker 11: Miami by two. You say, what did the city two

3159
02:31:55,360 --> 02:31:58,879
Speaker 11: and three? Everything is the answer. That's the difference between

3160
02:31:58,879 --> 02:32:01,879
Speaker 11: a you know a thing, fifty six fifty percent winning

3161
02:32:01,920 --> 02:32:04,400
Speaker 11: bet and and a fifty percent winning bet, which is

3162
02:32:04,400 --> 02:32:07,560
Speaker 11: profitable versus non profitable. So I think the Patriots keep

3163
02:32:07,600 --> 02:32:09,600
Speaker 11: this one very tight, and I think they have very

3164
02:32:09,640 --> 02:32:10,680
Speaker 11: good chams to one out right.

3165
02:32:11,879 --> 02:32:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listen man, great stuff as always any

3166
02:32:15,520 --> 02:32:16,440
Speaker 1: other ones you love.

3167
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:18,320
Speaker 2: We didn't cover uh.

3168
02:32:18,720 --> 02:32:21,879
Speaker 11: I did play Denver lane three and a half. I

3169
02:32:21,920 --> 02:32:24,039
Speaker 11: thought Washington got a little bit of a thny win

3170
02:32:24,160 --> 02:32:27,040
Speaker 11: last week over Arizona. Was not impressed with them at

3171
02:32:27,040 --> 02:32:29,840
Speaker 11: all Denver. I know they didn't play great. I was

3172
02:32:29,879 --> 02:32:32,680
Speaker 11: at the game, but I think Russell Wilson did look better.

3173
02:32:32,959 --> 02:32:35,160
Speaker 11: I think they beat Washington by a touchdown. That's called

3174
02:32:35,200 --> 02:32:36,720
Speaker 11: the way of the three and a half, and I

3175
02:32:36,920 --> 02:32:40,119
Speaker 11: just never doubt Mike Tomlin. Anthony liked Pittsburgh and teasers

3176
02:32:40,160 --> 02:32:41,680
Speaker 11: getting up to eight and a half. I think they

3177
02:32:41,720 --> 02:32:43,240
Speaker 11: win the game out right against Cleveland.

3178
02:32:43,800 --> 02:32:46,400
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Hey man, great stuff. We love your Big Brain,

3179
02:32:46,520 --> 02:32:47,919
Speaker 1: thanks for everything.

3180
02:32:47,720 --> 02:32:48,680
Speaker 3: Thanks for bing you guys.

3181
02:32:49,280 --> 02:32:50,280

3184
02:32:57,120 --> 02:32:58,800
Speaker 3: it makes me think of Bobby the Brain Heaton, like

3185

Speaker 3: my eighties wrestling fandom comes out there like I don't

3186

3187
02:33:04,240 --> 02:33:05,840
Speaker 3: like when we do that group hang. At some point

3188
02:33:05,840 --> 02:33:07,320
Speaker 3: he's gonna have to go full Bobby the brain heat

3189
02:33:07,360 --> 02:33:09,520
Speaker 3: and wear like the nice little suits. You know, I

3190

Speaker 3: that's that's coming in our future.

3192
02:33:12,959 --> 02:33:16,480
Speaker 1: I started calling Big Braby cause his name's Brad and

3193
02:33:16,879 --> 02:33:18,520

Speaker 2: You're a baseball man, FITZI.

3218
02:34:34,400 --> 02:34:37,680
Speaker 3: Nah, I mean obviously for what we do, yes, you know,

3219
02:34:37,760 --> 02:34:40,800
Speaker 3: but it's it wasn't necessarily a key sport for me

3220
02:34:40,879 --> 02:34:43,520
Speaker 3: growing up. So for me as I got older, like,

3221
02:34:43,600 --> 02:34:45,480
Speaker 3: I follow it because it's part of what we have

3222
02:34:45,560 --> 02:34:47,840
Speaker 3: to do sure in sports talk radio, but I never

3223
02:34:47,879 --> 02:34:50,120
Speaker 3: had a favorite team. Now, as you know, and as

3224
02:34:50,160 --> 02:34:52,560
Speaker 3: we've talked about over the last few weeks, everything that

3225
02:34:52,640 --> 02:34:55,640
Speaker 3: happens in Vegas I identify with, so like I'm I'm

3226
02:34:55,680 --> 02:34:58,480
Speaker 3: a Raiders fan and now an Aces fan and a

3227
02:34:58,520 --> 02:35:03,400
Speaker 3: Golden Knights fan, so I will become an age But

3228
02:35:03,480 --> 02:35:06,240
Speaker 3: that also feels like miserable, Like I'm sitting there saying, man,

3229
02:35:06,240 --> 02:35:08,039
Speaker 3: I've gone through a lot of tough years other than

3230
02:35:08,080 --> 02:35:10,720
Speaker 3: the Aces who are just crushing it, like I've gone

3231
02:35:10,720 --> 02:35:13,360
Speaker 3: through mostly tough years as a fan, Like couldn't a

3232
02:35:13,360 --> 02:35:17,280
Speaker 3: really good team have moved to Vegas. I mean, and

3233
02:35:17,320 --> 02:35:19,800
Speaker 3: now the Golden Nights have given me a Stanley Cup championship.

3234
02:35:20,040 --> 02:35:23,520
Speaker 3: I feel spoiled now. I just you know, I don't know.

3235
02:35:23,840 --> 02:35:26,320
Speaker 3: It's interesting because if the A's go to Vegas, I

3236
02:35:26,320 --> 02:35:29,560
Speaker 3: will become a huge, lifelong, diehard supporter. But they better

3237
02:35:29,680 --> 02:35:31,720
Speaker 3: understand they need to spend money in that city because

3238
02:35:31,720 --> 02:35:34,560
Speaker 3: there are too many options for the dollar for you

3239
02:35:34,640 --> 02:35:36,560
Speaker 3: to be a bad baseball team in a city like

3240
02:35:36,600 --> 02:35:39,000
Speaker 3: that and still be relevant. Bad situation.

3241
02:35:39,879 --> 02:35:41,800
Speaker 1: All right. As always, we end with what are we

3242
02:35:41,959 --> 02:35:46,760
Speaker 1: watching over the weekend, So let's start with our producer,

3243
02:35:47,000 --> 02:35:47,760
Speaker 1: Shay Shaye.

3244
02:35:47,840 --> 02:35:48,560
Speaker 2: What are you watching?

3245
02:35:51,320 --> 02:35:54,400
Speaker 10: Well, of course, I gotta, I gotta take out a

3246
02:35:54,480 --> 02:35:57,600
Speaker 10: note out of my main guys book. I watched the

3247
02:35:57,720 --> 02:36:05,760
Speaker 10: Adam Sandler Gray Hustle. I actually I forgot you were

3248
02:36:05,760 --> 02:36:08,720
Speaker 10: in that and I was watching it the other day

3249
02:36:09,560 --> 02:36:11,240
Speaker 10: and you were in it and you popped up and

3250
02:36:11,280 --> 02:36:13,320
Speaker 10: I'm like, no way, I gotta deal with this guy

3251
02:36:13,520 --> 02:36:14,520
Speaker 10: while watching TV.

3252
02:36:15,840 --> 02:36:18,000
Speaker 3: I mean TV star like that should be in the

3253
02:36:18,760 --> 02:36:21,400
Speaker 3: intro somewhere, like when you're a TV star, that should

3254
02:36:21,400 --> 02:36:21,959
Speaker 3: be put in there.

3255
02:36:22,400 --> 02:36:28,039
Speaker 1: IMDb after him, Well, Sailor's the best. I love Adam.

3256
02:36:28,080 --> 02:36:31,879
Speaker 1: He's He's a great dude. I love that movie. That

3257
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:34,120
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun shooting that movie. That was

3258
02:36:34,160 --> 02:36:37,800
Speaker 1: that was funny. That's hysterical. So what are you watch him? Brother?

3259
02:36:38,320 --> 02:36:40,640
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to go back and watch that.

3260
02:36:40,640 --> 02:36:42,280
Speaker 3: Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. I'm just I'm just

3261
02:36:42,320 --> 02:36:44,440
Speaker 3: dumbfounded that I didn't know. So now I'm gonna go

3262
02:36:44,480 --> 02:36:47,480
Speaker 3: watch that's look at me. I'm all excited and I'm

3263
02:36:47,520 --> 02:36:48,840
Speaker 3: starstruck now by my co host.

3264
02:36:48,920 --> 02:36:49,640
Speaker 1: It took me back.

3265
02:36:49,720 --> 02:36:53,199
Speaker 10: Okay, I was not expecting it.

3266
02:36:53,200 --> 02:36:55,080
Speaker 1: It's hyterical. So what are you watching it? What are

3267
02:36:55,080 --> 02:36:55,960
Speaker 1: you watching this weekend?

3268
02:36:57,000 --> 02:36:58,960
Speaker 3: So I look, I mean, obviously I'm gonna watch the

3269
02:36:59,040 --> 02:37:00,960
Speaker 3: Raiders get killed by Buffalo, but that's not gonna be

3270
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:03,240
Speaker 3: my That's that's too cliche to do that. I think

3271
02:37:03,400 --> 02:37:05,160
Speaker 3: when you start to look across the board, I think

3272
02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:07,840
Speaker 3: Baltimore and Cincinnati is the one NFL game that I

3273
02:37:07,959 --> 02:37:10,920
Speaker 3: pinpointed on Sunday that I think we will get answers

3274
02:37:10,959 --> 02:37:13,039
Speaker 3: from right one way or the other. We're either going

3275
02:37:13,120 --> 02:37:15,600
Speaker 3: to go into full panic mode about whether Lamar can

3276
02:37:15,640 --> 02:37:17,720
Speaker 3: handle this offense and is it gonna be good enough,

3277
02:37:17,760 --> 02:37:19,680
Speaker 3: or we're going to go into full panic mode that

3278
02:37:19,800 --> 02:37:21,560
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow got paid and now all of a sudden

3279
02:37:21,560 --> 02:37:24,680
Speaker 3: it's falling apart for Cincinnati. But more importantly, you know

3280
02:37:24,720 --> 02:37:26,520
Speaker 3: when you watch the eye test for both of those

3281
02:37:26,560 --> 02:37:28,240
Speaker 3: that's I think there's so much on the line for

3282
02:37:28,280 --> 02:37:30,320
Speaker 3: both of those teams. I think that's the one game

3283
02:37:30,360 --> 02:37:32,440
Speaker 3: I can watch and no I'll walk away with something

3284
02:37:32,480 --> 02:37:33,320
Speaker 3: meaningful from it.

3285
02:37:33,640 --> 02:37:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think of it? Real quick? Fits?

3286
02:37:35,400 --> 02:37:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, I want to get figgy. What do you

3287
02:37:37,000 --> 02:37:39,959
Speaker 1: think of this Sunday night game? Because I do? It's

3288
02:37:39,959 --> 02:37:42,160
Speaker 1: funny Brad likes the Patriots, and I kind of was

3289
02:37:42,280 --> 02:37:45,120
Speaker 1: leaning that way that I think everybody's going to be

3290
02:37:45,200 --> 02:37:47,000
Speaker 1: fall over the Dolphins, and I think that's gonna be

3291
02:37:47,000 --> 02:37:48,160
Speaker 1: a really good football game.

3292
02:37:48,879 --> 02:37:50,840
Speaker 3: I'm all in on the hype train of the Dolphins.

3293
02:37:50,959 --> 02:37:52,959
Speaker 3: I think the Dolphins right now have the chance to

3294
02:37:52,959 --> 02:37:55,320
Speaker 3: be a super Bowl caliber football team. I'm in on

3295
02:37:55,360 --> 02:37:57,360
Speaker 3: the I think the Dolphins gonna make a big statement

3296
02:37:57,360 --> 02:37:59,680
Speaker 3: on Sunday Night. Oh got a disagreement here in the show.

3297
02:37:59,680 --> 02:38:01,400
Speaker 3: We'll see Oh, I like it.

3298
02:38:01,600 --> 02:38:04,080
Speaker 4: I like it, figures, and that was the one that

3299
02:38:04,120 --> 02:38:06,240
Speaker 4: I was gonna pinpoint was a Sunday night game. We'll

3300
02:38:06,280 --> 02:38:08,720
Speaker 4: see it to use your words if they're real or fugazy.

3301
02:38:08,800 --> 02:38:10,920
Speaker 4: The Dolphins against one of the best defenses in the

3302
02:38:11,000 --> 02:38:13,560
Speaker 4: NFL in New England and Bill Belichick. So that's what

3303
02:38:13,600 --> 02:38:14,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have my eyes glued to.

3304
02:38:15,360 --> 02:38:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's gonna be interesting.

3305
02:38:17,240 --> 02:38:17,480
Speaker 3: Fake.

3306
02:38:17,720 --> 02:38:19,680
Speaker 1: And then the other one fig that you know, Kansas

3307
02:38:19,720 --> 02:38:22,360
Speaker 1: City Jacksonville. Yeah, I think it's gonna be a great one.

3308
02:38:22,560 --> 02:38:24,080
Speaker 2: That'll be a fun one. Jacksonville.

3309
02:38:24,120 --> 02:38:26,120
Speaker 4: See if they can avenge what happened last season and

3310
02:38:26,160 --> 02:38:28,480
Speaker 4: take a big step against the defending Super Bowl champions

3311
02:38:28,520 --> 02:38:29,680
Speaker 4: of that, that'll be a big one.

3312
02:38:29,879 --> 02:38:31,240
Speaker 2: That gotta be a statement to win for them.

3313
02:38:31,480 --> 02:38:33,199
Speaker 3: No, we all know the Raiders are gonna be the

3314
02:38:33,320 --> 02:38:35,800
Speaker 3: only undefeated team in the AFC West to the end.

Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's just keep it going. Let's keep this

3316
