1 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: Straight Fire, Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Tuesday, 3 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: November thirtieth. College football world is on fire, is it not. 4 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what a chaotic twenty five thirty hours 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: it has been with Lincoln Riley leaving Oklahoma for USC 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: and then something that I thought he was even bigger. 7 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Brian Kelly bolts from Notre Dame after over 8 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: a decade, he's sixty years old and he goes to LSU. 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: I nearly dropped my phone that that was such a stunner. 10 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: We're setting up, you know, Santa Claus comes through neighborhoods 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: out here in LA and so we're setting up a 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: little gathering and I'm moving some stuff around and you know, 13 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: I get a text, Oh my gosh, and then I 14 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: clicked the link and I'm like what And it was 15 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: from a guy I who went to Notre Dame and 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: it is pretty connected there. Even he was stunned. But 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: we'll do Brian Kelly some deep thoughts on college football, 18 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: which is going through quite the reckoning. Oh my gosh, 19 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: it's getting like the NBA. You know, NBA's all the 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: games in the NBA or AH whatever college football games 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: are eh, but the behind the scenes stuff is I 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: mean Bencer Rattler and all that drama, and then Lincoln 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: Riley and now Brian Kelly and whatever the next time. 24 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: I always like, it's getting wild college football. But we 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: have to start today. Oh, poor Russell Wilson celebrating his 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: birthday Monday Night football, and he continues to look like 27 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: nothing we've ever seen from Russell Wilson. He was better 28 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: than this in his first two years as a game manager, 29 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: back in the Marshawn Lynch days. Like this is a 30 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: bad Seattle Seahawks team, obviously, I'm kind of loving every 31 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: minute of it, kind of sort of as a Jets fan. 32 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: Jets have Seattle's pick thanks to the Jamal Adams heist, 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: one of the This is going to go down as 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: one of the great trades in New York Jets history 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: and obviously one of the worst trades from a Seattle's 36 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: sports perspective. They are now three and eight. They continue 37 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: to just lose games. Can you lose games? Hand over fist? 38 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's all they're doing. They can't get out 39 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,839 Speaker 1: of their own way. They actually looked a little better. 40 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm admitting this with Geno Smith. Honestly, 41 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: Russ is just not himself. He came, he rushed back 42 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: from the finger injury, and he shouldn't have done it. 43 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: But listen, he's a gamer. He wants to get out there. 44 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: He's never really been hurt in his career. So he 45 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: rushes back and he can't do anything against the Packers. 46 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: They get shut out. I back him against the Cardinals 47 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: and they lose against Colt McCoy at home, no less, 48 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: and now they go to Washington. They do pretty much 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: nothing for fifties seven minutes, and Russ is looking at 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: another sub two hundred and ten yard game. He had 51 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: one sixty one against Green Bay, two interceptions. He had 52 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and seven against Arizona at home, and he 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: was staring at like a one sixty burger in the 54 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: eye before a final minute drive gets him ninety six 55 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: yards and he got him up to two hundred and 56 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: forty seven. But this is just not the Russell Wilson 57 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: we know, and folks, I think we can all agree 58 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: it's over. I mean, DK metcalf leading into that final drive. 59 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: I think he had zero catches and three targets, and 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: we know he was chirping in the locker room. It 61 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: is a sinking ship in Seattle, and I think it's 62 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: time to start thinking realistically about Russell Wilson's next steps, because, 63 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: if you remember it, in the offseason, he went so 64 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: far as to name four teams he was willing to 65 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: go to trade me to one of these four. Seattle 66 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: looked around and said, yeah, we're not We're not going 67 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: to do that. The four teams, if you've forgotten the 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and the Dallas Cowboys, 69 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: Well we can easily eliminate some of these teams. Now, 70 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: three fourths of the way through the season alas Cowboys 71 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: signed Dak Prescott to a lucrative deal. Russ ain't going there. 72 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: The Vegas Raiders lost their coach and they don't have 73 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: this guy who's filling in. I don't even know his 74 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: name is not an Rob G can chime in later 75 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: with the guy's name, although it's irrelevant because he's not 76 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: gonna be the head coach next year. I don't think 77 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: Russ is going there unless he can hand pick a coach. 78 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: And are you letting a thirty three year old quarterback 79 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: hand pick a coach like I don't know, I mean 80 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you just give Russ the keys. Who who 81 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: would you like his coach? Yeah, Russ will do it. 82 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: Let's done. So I think you can cross Vegas off 83 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: the list, and I think you cross the Bears off 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: the list. They drafted Justin Fields. Naggi's on his way out. 85 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: There's no way Naggie survives this season despite getting into 86 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: the playoffs twice. He's just not a good coach. And 87 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: Fields is gonna be their guy on a rookie deal. 88 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: You don't move on from that. So I think we 89 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: can safely eliminate those three. And that leaves the Saints, 90 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: who actually looked side with Jamis Winston earlier this season. 91 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Simion is who we thought he was a career journeyman, 92 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: and now they are on the outside looking into the playoffs. 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: They've got Dallas this week, and of course Dallas has 94 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: their own COVID issues. Thanks well, I shouldn't say thanks 95 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: to Amari Cooper, but covid is spreading. He's unvaccinated. He 96 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: should return this week, as should Seeedee Lamb. But their 97 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: head coach Mike McCarthy is out due to COVID. We'll 98 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: see if any other guys drop from Thursday's game as 99 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: we get closer to kickoff. But I don't think of 100 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: any of those four teams, Like, I don't know financially, 101 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: how you get Russ to New Orleans. They gave Taysom 102 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: Hill a lot of money. Recently they have Jamis. I 103 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: don't see it. I'm sorry. If somebody can come up 104 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: creative accounting to get Russell Wilson to New Orleans, great, 105 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: So if you eliminate the four teams that Russ said 106 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: he wanted to go to, what does that leave you with? Well, 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: I think to jump out big time. And a third 108 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 1: one is I would say. For so, we know that 109 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: Philadelphia has the draft picks as it stands now the 110 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: Eagles because they have Miami's draft pick, and Miami's been 111 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: winning as you know. The Eagles currently have their eighth pick, 112 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: the ninth pick from Miami, and the fourteenth pick from 113 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: Indian Carson Wentz. Are you doing eight, nine and fourteen 114 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson? Well, if he doesn't want to be 115 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: there and you're pressing the reboot button and he says 116 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: he's not staying beyond the following season. You've got to 117 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: maximize whatever you can get. I mean, the Jets have 118 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: four and five, the Eagles have eight, nine and fourteen. 119 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: You know, I would take the Jets picks over the Eagles, 120 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: that's for sure. But you know, Jets aren't in the 121 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: mix here. So I also don't think Russell Wilson's really 122 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: a cultural fit in Philly. He's like a I know 123 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: that's going to come off the wrong way and some 124 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: people's going to try to kill me for it. He 125 00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: is a overwhelmingly nice guy. He is a smiling, up beat, 126 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 1: positive individual, and let's be real, Philadelphia is a negative city. 127 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: They thrive off negativity, and I just don't know if 128 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: he's a great fit in Philly. Would you be a 129 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: good quarterback there's certainly yeah, I mean a good quarterback anywhere. 130 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't think Jalen Hurts is the guy long term, 131 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: but they have made it clear they want to Shaun Watson. 132 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: They'll be in the mix. So if you eliminate Philly, 133 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: I think the two teams that you're left with are 134 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: actually kind of exciting, and they're both out of the conference, 135 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: so you won't have to see him every year. It 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: leaves the Pittsburgh Steelers, who clearly are going to be 137 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: moving on from Ben Roethlisberger. And if you believe that 138 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: defense can get their act together, if you trust that 139 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: Naj Harris and Claypool and Johnson and Juju healthy next 140 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: year russ In, that offense has some potential. Now the 141 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: offensive line is not very good, which would be a problem, 142 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: but a players coach in Mike Tomlin, a perennial winner, 143 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: a good franchise, I think Russell Wilson in Philadelphia, and 144 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh makes all 145 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: the sense in the world. Now the division, you're going 146 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: from the NFC West, the toughest division in football, to 147 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: a pretty damn good division in the AFC North. Baltimore 148 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: is always good, Cleveland should be better than it is. 149 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: And the Bengals now have already eclipsed their season win 150 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: total of six and a half. They have seven wins. 151 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: They're ascending. So it's a tough division, no doubt for us. 152 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: But you've got a good coach, good pedigree, really strong roster. 153 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: The only one that tops that, and some people aren't 154 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna want to hear. This is the Denver Broncos, who 155 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: are now six and five. They keep winning games they 156 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: should lose, and thus they're gonna end up keeping Fongio. 157 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: The head coach, Daniel Jeremiah, who's been on this pod, 158 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: you know NFL network guy, he thinks that the Broncos 159 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: have a top ten roster in the league. And the 160 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: scary thing is they've got a ton of injuries on 161 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: both sides of the football. All they do is fine 162 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: guys and plug him in. They draft well, they do 163 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: free agency well, They've got a great roster. And if 164 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: you remember Aaron Rodgers made sense to Denver, would Russell 165 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: Wilson make even more sense? And you know he's younger, 166 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: he's clearly less of a combative, difficult to deal with individual. 167 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: I mean, this offseason not withstanding, I think nobody would 168 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: argue with me that Aaron Rodgers is just difficult. Someone 169 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: will bring up the family stuff and constantly bounce around 170 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: different girlfriends. And this guy, Aaron Rodgers is a problem. 171 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: He is. He's an immensely talented quarterback, arguably the greatest 172 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: talent that the league has ever seen. We know that 173 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: Brady's the winningest. But Aaron Rodgers is obscenely talented. And 174 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: if you're telling me, Jay, who do you want is 175 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: your quarterback? Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson, I don't know. 176 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: Next three years, I would have to give it a 177 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: lot of thought. I would probably lean toward Russell Wilson 178 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: just because less baggage. Younger, Aaron Rodgers has had some Wow. Well, 179 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: he had the COVID toe. If you want to still 180 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: call it, be calling it COVID toe or a COVID 181 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: toe injury. Both have been healthy. Aaron Rodgers is so talented. 182 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: I think he's probably the MVP at this point. If 183 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: you heard Monday's pod, you know I'm glowingly speaking about 184 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: the Packers. But I mean, you're kidding Russell Wilson at 185 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: a at like almost a bargain basement right now, are 186 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: you not? I mean, three straight losses, bad numbers this year. 187 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't I mean, we don't know if it's something 188 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: beyond the finger injury, but thirty three years old, you 189 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: know he's gonna have something to prove for sure. He's 190 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: been to two Super Bowls. Aaron Rodgers has been to 191 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: how many Super Bowls? Farreon Rodgers, Robbers, he's been a 192 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: one that's it. Oh, that's right, because he's like, oh 193 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: for five, there are one for five in the NFC 194 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: title game. Not all that.

Yeah. 198 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, is that too hot of a take? 199 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: I really I like Russell Wilson a lot. I mean, 200 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: he doesn't look good right now, that's obvious. It's not 201 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: your hottest take. I mean, you can make a case 202 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson, especially with his age and factoring that 203 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: in that could be a better investment than Aaron Rodgers 204 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. Aaron Rodgers 205 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: is a little high maintenance, for lack of a better word. 206 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: I do like I mean, as a Raider fan, I 207 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: don't like the idea of him going to Denver, you know, 208 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: but I think Denver makes a und of sense. The 209 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: one team that I want to throw out at you 210 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: that you did not mention is the New York Giants. 211 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 1: I think that everybody's getting cleaned out over there this 212 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: off season. I think the coach, the GM, it's all 213 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 1: going to be gone. The quarterback whoever they bring in 214 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: is gonna have a strong foundation around them. Like I 215 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: know that it doesn't seem like a whole heck of 216 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: a lots going on in New York, But if you 217 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: just look at what their roster has, like their defense 218 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: isn't bad. They got some good players on defense, well, 219 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: Bradbury is okay, and Lennon Williams is okay. They got 220 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: a safety, the kid McKinnon from Alabama, McKinley, Xavier McKinney, yep. 221 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: But then you just look at the skill. I mean, 222 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: you got sa Quan hold up, hold up, hold up, 223 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: hold up, hold up, hold up. Given the running back 224 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: injuries rob in this league, do you think that they're 225 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: gonna even offer the fifth year extension to say one absolutely? 226 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: Think what it's it's the equivalent of a franchise tag. 227 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't hurt you to give him the 228 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: fifth year option, but you can move on after that. 229 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: Carolina had And it's crazy because if you look at 230 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: McCaffrey first three years, he didn't miss a game. They 231 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: give him a money. He played I think in seven 232 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: games last year and he played in three this year, 233 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Down out for the season, Dalvin Cook out again. 234 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: These running backs, I don't I just would move on 235 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: from sa Kuan, would you not. I'm not saying I'd 236 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: give him the contract extent number one. I don't think 237 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: he's that great of a running back. You know. I 238 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: know that the seventy yards running get people excited, but 239 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: he's also just as likely to give you nine straight 240 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: carries for twelve yards, you know, like so weird. Remember 241 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: how dominant he was at Penn State. Was like, yeah, 242 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: but he had he had the same kind of style 243 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: there as he does in the NFL. And that was 244 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: one thing that friend of the show, Brady Papingo, was 245 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: saying before the draft, and everybody was killing him about 246 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: was he was saying, you know, I don't think Say 247 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: Kwan is built for the NFL game. He was always 248 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: trying to go for the big play. He doesn't give 249 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: you the four or five yards that are available. And 250 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: we've seen that kind of play out a little bit 251 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: here in the NFL. Now, his injuries have kind of 252 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: made that, you know, an even bigger talking point because 253 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: I think if he were healthy, he what he'd be getting, 254 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, kind of Barry Sanders comparisons, because Barry Savage 255 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: did a lot of the same things where he'd get 256 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: you six carries for negative two yards and then the 257 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: eightyr touchdown. So but let's just say for argument's sake, 258 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: he's still there. You got Kenny Galladay, Sternly, Ship Brick, 259 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: Darius Tony, Darius Slayton. You know, say what you want 260 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: about Evan Ingram, but he is an athletic tight end. 261 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: DeVante Booker is a very good backup running back, Like 262 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: all they need is a quarterback to get things respectable. 263 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: And it's not like that division is anything great. I 264 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: mean the Dallas Cowboys. We were all very excited about 265 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: them earlier in the season because they were beating up 266 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: on bad teams, and then as soon as they start 267 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: playing average to above average teams, they lose. And that's 268 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: been Dak Prescott's mo basically for the last three or 269 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: four years, that he can't beat good teams. Very Matthew 270 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: Stafford of him. So if you're Russell Wilson and I 271 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: would both agree that he's probably not long for Seattle. 272 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Denver's a good option, Like mentioned, Pittsburgh is a good option. 273 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, But I think that the Giants, assuming 274 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: that they get the coach and the GM in order, 275 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: which if you have a quarterback like Russell Wilson and 276 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: tow you can kind of use that holy triumphant brain 277 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: trust there to figure it out. I think they could 278 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: do some damage next season. It's funny. I like how 279 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: you and when I did Dan Patrick with Rob Parker 280 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: that you guys just love to beat up on that Stafford. 281 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: I'll be only all these just beat bad teams. I 282 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: happen to look this up because I'm doing a piece 283 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: on Fox on Picks this week, and you know everybody's Oh, 284 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: Patriots are the best team in the AFC. They're going 285 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: to Super Bowl. The combined record of teams the Patriots 286 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: have beat in this year thirty eight and fifty three, 287 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: like a lot of shit teams they beat. And then 288 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: they're playing the Bills combined record of the teams the 289 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: Bills beats even worse, thirty one and forty seven. Like, 290 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: or do we know if either of those teams are good? Rob, Like, 291 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: I know we want to bag on Stafford and okay, 292 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: doesn't beat the good teams. People getting fat, But like 293 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: this is a thing throughout the league with the acception 294 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, I don't really know 295 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: who's beating good teams like Rob Kansas City, Like could 296 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: we do this? Should we do this? For the Chiefs, 297 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: like you go, you go up and down the league, 298 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: and like nobody's really beating anyone good. Now, the Bengals 299 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: did lay an ass whooping on the Ravens, and they 300 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: beat down the Steelers twice, but oh yeah, they lost 301 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: to the Jets, and you know, like it's just this 302 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: is a weird season. So I don't want to go 303 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: off off topic and go into the Matt Stafford stuff, 304 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: but I don't I don't know that Giants supporting cast 305 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: like I'm sure there is something to Russell Wilson wanting 306 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: to be in New York obviously would suck for my 307 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: Jets because then all the spotlight goes to the Giants 308 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: because what about the Mormon Mahomes. It was that your 309 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: guy Mormon Mahomes. Yeah, I know maybe that maybe, you 310 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: know what, maybe that's what the Jets need. Put all 311 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: the spotlight on Russ, put all the pressure on him. 312 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: Let's take it off the Mormon Mahomes. By the way, yeah, 313 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't like the way. I don't like the way 314 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: that the Jets have had on their quarterback situation this game. 315 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: I don't like anything about the Jets Right now. I'm 316 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: getting worried. I don't know that he's going to be 317 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: starting this week. That knee injury that he got right 318 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: against Houston. When when your quarterback describes his knee is 319 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: feeling loose, yeah, probably it's not a given. And frankly 320 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, maybe they said him. I don't think it's 321 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: the worst idea in the world. Russell Wilson's got options 322 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: and uh seattles were circling the drain. I kind of 323 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: love to see it, right, Jets get the fourth pick, 324 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: they get the fifth pick, and I'll just put out 325 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: there right now, they're definitely gonna get one of three guys. 326 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: Number one obviously Thibadeau from Oregon. The edge rusher. Number 327 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: two is hutch Aiden Hutchinson from Michigan, who everybody found 328 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: out about on the Ohio State game. I mean, he 329 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: had three sacks. I think I saw that he had 330 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: ten pressures or some ridiculous number. He was in living 331 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: in the backfield. And then the kids Stingley from Lsu, 332 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: the cornerback that we've been hearing about since his freshman year. 333 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: They're gonna get one of those three guys for sure 334 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: with the top five picks. Listen. Yeah, I'm excited about 335 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen at the draft in like next April. 336 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: Despite it being November.

All right, I 340 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: need to pivot to college football now because this Brian 341 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: Kelly stuff I don't rob. I don't want to say 342 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go off on a tangent here, but I'm 343 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: kind of obsessed with this story. So everybody wants to know, like, 344 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: wait a minute, why would he leave when they could 345 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: make the playoff? Let's just start there. The chances of 346 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: Notre Dame getting into the playoffs are probably as likely 347 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: as Joe Rogan coming to me and saying, Hey, Jason, 348 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: I love your pod. It's blowing up. I want to 349 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: have you come on the Joe Rogan Experience this week. 350 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: That's about the likelihood of Notre Dame getting into the playoff. Okay, 351 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: they would need Michigan to lose as a double digit 352 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: favorite to Iowa. They probably would need Georgia to beat Alabama, 353 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: so Alabama can sniff it. And now Georgia is a 354 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: six point favorite, so that could happen. They need Cincinnati 355 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: to lose their double digit favorites, and they would need 356 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State to lose to Baylor. And since in Oklahoma State, 357 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: Baylor is a good game to bet on. And we'll 358 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: talk about it later in the week, but basically, they 359 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: need beyond chaos this weekend, championship weekend. So this idea 360 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: that well, they could make the playoff, how could we 361 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: leave Like, that's not how it works. Guys. You know 362 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: that Brian Kelly, according to reports, is getting fifteen million 363 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: a year. That is more than Nick Saban. We know 364 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Nick Saban as the gold standard in college football. He's 365 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: getting more than Nick Saban. Just let that sink in. Yeah, 366 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly's been great. His record at Notre Dame one 367 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: and thirteen and forty. He's got one of the best 368 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: records in college football. I think in the last four 369 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: years a couple of playoff trips, they haven't won the title. 370 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: But whatever they get into the playoff is awesome. Where 371 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: I think college football got crazy in the last like 372 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: month is this, Honestly, this mel Tucker stuff. It's so 373 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 1: funny because I got a buddy who went to Colorado 374 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: and they had melt Tucker at Colorado for like four minutes. 375 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: I don't even think a lot of people realize this. 376 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: So twenty nineteen, melt Tucker was the coach at Colorado. 377 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: He went five and seven, and he got the job 378 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: at Michigan State. So let me repeat, he did not 379 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: even get to five hundred at Colorado and he got 380 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: a job at Michigan State. So he had a good 381 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: year last year during COVID, and then a really good 382 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: year this year they beat Michigan, And now it's like, oh, 383 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: melt Tucker tot LSU. Just let me just rewind five 384 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 1: and seven at Colorado in twenty nineteen, his only year 385 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: at Colorado, and now he's getting talked about to LSU. 386 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people around the country 387 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: who are like, wait a minute, what's happening. We know 388 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: there's major money in the sport, right billion dollars sport 389 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: players are getting paid. Now is there an extra money 390 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: kicking around for coaches that I need to get involved 391 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: in here. And the next thing, you know, Melt Tucker 392 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: gets a ten year, ninety five million dollar contract at 393 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: Michigan State. And the best part is it's fully guaranteed. 394 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: Ninety five million dollars, fully guaranteed for a guy who 395 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: has never been to the college football playoff and was 396 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: five and seven two years ago. Ninety five million guaranteed. 397 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: So if I'm Brian Kelly, all right, notre day making, 398 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: They're not gonna give me more even if I get 399 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: luck into the playoff. Okay, I'm doing well. I've been 400 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: here for over a decade. I'm sixty years old. Like, 401 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: do I have one big, huge pay day left? Yeah, 402 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen if LSU calls me when I see 403 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: monopoly money flowing into the sport. And Mel Tucker, a 404 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: guy who hasn't accomplished jack squat in college football other 405 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: than a win over Jim Harbor by the way, a 406 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: game they trailed my two touchdowns and they kind of 407 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: got lucky there. He got ninety five mills. So yeah, 408 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: if I'm Brian Kelly, I'm gonna listen. And if LSU's 409 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: gonna money with me, with fifteen million per You're damn right, 410 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: I'm going I mean, I don't know why people are 411 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: panicking and pearl clutching. College football's in trouble. Boh Shim 412 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: Beckler never left Michigan, Paterno never left Penn. Stick like, 413 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: people are just like getting all crazy, and it's like, well, 414 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: let's take a deep breath here. Money is flowing, players 415 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: getting paid. Now, that's good. I'd like to see a 416 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: little more of that. If I'm a coach, I'm gonna 417 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: try to maximize whatever I can. And somebody texting me 418 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: will Jason. You know, do you remember when FS one 419 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: became a player in the media landscape. ESPN was the 420 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: only game in town. And as soon as FS one emerged, 421 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: what happened, everybody got paid. If you were at the top, 422 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: you were only at ESPN. There was nobody else who 423 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: was going to match. And along came FS one and 424 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: FS one is we've got to pay to get guys. 425 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: And then CBS said, well, wait a minute, wait, we 426 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: can't fall behind this newcomer. We got it. We gotta 427 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: start paying. And then NBC so wait a minute, we 428 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: got to expand our stuff.

Everybody who's creating content. 431 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: Everybody gets paid. And then it trickles down to you 432 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: get more producers in the field, and you get more researchers, 433 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, everybody's winning. Like this is great, 434 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: everybody wins. And in college football the same thing is true. 435 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Melt Tucker getting ninety five Who pay Brian Kelly give 436 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: him fifteen mill per I saw a report and again 437 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how accurate this is on Lincoln Riley, Rob, 438 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: you can fact check it, but usc said we are 439 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: going to buy your two houses in Oklahoma for something 440 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: like five hundred thousand dollars over asking, and that will 441 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: be a built in bonus or something along those lines. 442 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: Is that Do I have that right?

Now, but here are the terms 449 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: more or less one hundred and ten million dollars. We 450 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: don't know how long it is, but one hundred and ten. 451 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: You mentioned USC buying both of his homes in Norman, 452 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 1: Oklahoma for five hundred over asking, So that's the equivalent 453 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: of a million dollars bonus. They're gonna buy him a 454 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: six million dollar home in lad Do they know what town? 455 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: They did not say what town because some people where 456 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: I live think he's coming here. Mora used to live here, 457 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: the USC basketball coach lives around here. You're always gotta 458 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: you always gotta do that, don't you listen? Look, I 459 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: know I know a man of the people, but you 460 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: know I do listen. I don't have a house in 461 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: that in that stratosphere you said they're gonna live in 462 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: your area. That's there's low income housing. And then here's 463 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: the last one. This is my favorite one. Actually, unlimited 464 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: use of the private jet twenty four seven, so not 465 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: even for work wise, yep. So if him and his 466 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: family want a jet off to Vegas or Disney World 467 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: or wherever, Colorado, Aspen, Italy, wherever he's bad, must not 468 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: bad a contract. Yeah, I do want to quickly address 469 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: this whole Have you seen this betrayal and trader, and 470 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: they're putting up all these signs in Norman about Lincoln Riley, Like, 471 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't get it. First of all, it's not accurate. 472 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: It's factually incorrect. And I need to ask any Oklahoma 473 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: fans listening. Did Oklahoma betray the Big Twelve when it 474 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: left for the SEC? Was that a betrayal? Were they traders? 475 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: I would say probably no. Right, If the answer is yes, 476 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: then you know the answer on Lincoln Riley. But I'm 477 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and guess that Oklahoma fans like, no, no, 478 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: we just we just got a better offer and we're 479 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: gonna play in a better conference, and like it's gonna 480 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: make our TV deal more lucrative. And guess what that 481 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: trickles down to all the sports. That's awesome. We had 482 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: to do it right. Well, what the hell do you 483 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: think Lincoln Riley's gonna say? Oh, I'm now moving from Norman, 484 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: Oklahoma to Los Angeles. I think that's a great spot 485 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: to be it. I don't care about the taxes because 486 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: guess what I'm paid. Rob just had one hundred million 487 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: dollars deal and oh, by the way, yeah, my chances 488 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: of getting to the playoff probably gonna be a little 489 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: easier in the back twelve, where I'm instantly the best coach. 490 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: No disrespect to Mario crystal Ball. I've been to three playoffs. 491 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: If I'm Lincoln Riley and I had to do it, 492 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: I want to. I want to explore and see what 493 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: else is out there. It's not a betrayal. He never 494 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: said I'm not going to last you. I would never 495 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: do that. And this idea that he's leaving the cupboard empty, like, 496 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: give me a frigging break. Every coach who leaves instantly 497 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: got reaches out to recruits and says, hey, you know, 498 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: I know I was plucking you out of Los Angeles 499 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: to come to Oklahoma. We'll guess what. I'm staying in La. 500 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: Do you want to stay with me? Like, come on, 501 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: this is this is what happens in college football all 502 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: the friggin time, all the time. You don't think the 503 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: second Texas had its coaching issues. I don't know, multiple 504 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: times over the last five years that the Second it 505 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: was any dissension. They were calling back recruits who are 506 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: on the you know, fence for Texas and hey, you 507 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: got I guess what? We still got that Skolly offer 508 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: for you, like this is how the game has played. 509 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it from Oklahoma fans like, no, sorry, 510 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: this is great for the sport, and frankly, I didn't 511 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: think it's been a great year for college football. The 512 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: playoff all of a sudden is not really that sexy. 513 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: Especially again, no disrespect here, but like Oklahoma getting in 514 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: at number four, I'm sorry Oklahoma State. It's like Georgia 515 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: versus Oklahoma State and Michigan Cincinnati. By the way, I 516 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: think Cincinnati could actually win that. Like, those aren't great 517 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: college football playoff games, so I think this drama with 518 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: the coaches is even more fun. And you still have 519 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: big time jobs open. I think Washington's. Is Washington States 520 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: still open or is it Washington? I believe that they 521 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: might be getting filled out the fact check on that one, 522 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: but I've heard report that they could be filled in 523 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: that coming days. I know Virginia Tech was open. Yeah, 524 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: like there's good jobs open. And the only thing I've 525 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: heard on Notre Dame. And again, we had this Santa 526 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: Claus thing last night and I was gassed afterwards, so 527 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: I went to bed quickly. I didn't read everything on 528 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. But the only thing that my contact said 529 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: was it's likely that they'll try to hire Luke Fickle 530 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: from Cincinnati and pay to retain the defensive coordinator who 531 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: is on the rise. His name is Freeman. He's considered 532 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: like a bunning star in the industry. He had actually 533 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: worked for Fickle at Cincinnati. So then you get Fickle 534 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: and Freeman in Notre Dame and you keep them locked down. 535 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: But of course the Ohio State folks are saying, oh, 536 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna grab Freeman. Our defense stinks, as you saw 537 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: against Michigan. We got to get him in here. So 538 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: guess what Brian Kelly getting fifteen million. All that means 539 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: is Luke Fickle's gonna get more. This guy Freeman's gonna 540 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: get more. Like everybody wins. It's it's great. Like I 541 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: can't hate on any of these guys for taking a 542 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: chance and leaving. Like I'm surprised Brian Kelly would leave 543 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Like that's usually a destination job, not a 544 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: stepping stone job. But stranger things have happened, and uh, 545 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: college football just got way more exciting. Rob Yeah, yeah, 546 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: And I know that Fickle is the front runner to 547 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: get that Notre Dame job. But I would just love 548 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: more than anything right now in football to see urban 549 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: Meyer back in college. I mean, he's gone on the 550 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: record multiple times, him and his wife I say Notre 551 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: Dame was a dream job for him. So there'd be 552 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: nothing greater than urban Meyer getting lap dances at a 553 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: local bar down the street from campus on his way 554 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: to an eleven win season and a playoff Berth. I 555 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: just want, I just want to point out that visual 556 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: these are finder. I was so wrong about urban Meyer Jacksonville. 557 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: I can't Trevor Lawrence too, and listen, I will defend 558 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's options right now. Like the guys he's throwing 559 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: to where like the guy who was the third string 560 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: tight end to beat out Tim Tebow back in the day. 561 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: A guy on a practice squad who was on a 562 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: practice squad to start the season, like Marvin Jones is hurt. 563 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: He's in and out of the lineup Chennault in and 564 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: out of the line like they're just Robinson the running back, 565 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: not very good and it just has not gone well 566 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: for urban Meyer. I would feel disappointed if he bolted 567 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: after one year. You know he I think he lives 568 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: in that community Jacksonville. I can't imagine he would pull 569 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: a Petrino in bail after one season. You remember Patrino's 570 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: with the Falcons and he'ven finished the season. He didn't 571 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: he left like a note on a post it poort 572 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, I can't imagine urban bailing. But you know, 573 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: you do have a point. Notre Dame is super attractive. 574 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder what's gonna happen at Oklahoma because 575 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: right now they're just getting used. They're like, oh oh, 576 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, Yeah yeah, sure got it, Cliff king You know, 577 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: I don't know that Oklahoma is as attractive like Ellis, 578 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: who's super attractive. Although that job, man, that is a 579 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: tough job. I mean Rob Edwards drawn won a title 580 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,239 Speaker 1: two years ago. I fired him now. I know off 581 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: the field he was doing some buffoonish shit that you 582 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: just can't do. But it Ellas Used is a sleeping 583 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: giant always because there's so much talent there. But man, 584 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: I just don't know why you would willingly want to 585 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: go to the SEC. Yeah when Nick Saban's there, and 586 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: you know Kirby Smartest has turned George into a juggerna. 587 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: It's like, why would you want to have that kind 588 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: of uphill battle every season? I mean, look at the 589 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: Florida guy Mullin, how fast did that go downhill? I 590 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: thought they were good, like on track two years ago. 591 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: They got some talent there too. Yeah, it's tough. College 592 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: footballs wild. We haven't done any NBA lately, but maybe 593 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: we'll get back into it shortly. I don't know, Rob, 594 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: I haven't paid too much attention to the NBA. In 595 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: the last couple of days, college football got crazy and 596 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm so into this NFL. Big win in fantasy for me, 597 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm heading into the playoffs, but it's it's an uphill climb. 598 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: But anyways, that's a much longer Tuesday Pod than we thought. 599 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: We'll get back at Jue tomorrow. Have a good day.
