Speaker 1: Should be a wild one out here in l A.

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: But I know you're here to talk about football. And

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: today's guest is just phenomenal Brett McMurphy. You have known

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: him for a long time covered college football. He's the

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: guy who ESPN hired. He was crushing into the ESPN

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: but they had a ton of layoffs and they had

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: to lay him off there paying him to not work,

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: and as he tells the story, he ends up breaking

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: massive Urban Meyer News on his Facebook page. It's great,

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: you guys love it. Brett McMurphy's outstanding. But before we

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: get to him, just a quick, quick two piece for you.

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: Number one, did you guys see the report that the

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: next Field of dream game Field of Dreams game? Obviously,

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: last week's Yankees White Sox was a thriller. The game

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: was great, the vibe, the enner, everything was awesome about

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: that game. The TV ratings. I saw it was the

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: most watched regular season baseball game in like forever. Um.

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: So so there's that. But they're quick to pick the

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: next two teams and it sounds like it's gonna be

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: the Cubs and Red's next year. Now. Obviously they want

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: proximity to Iowa for people to tune in and maybe

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: attend the game and make it like a big thing

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: in it to do. I love this. I think baseball

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: is thinking outside the box. I don't know what the

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: n FELL has hatched. We've seen college basketball play games

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: on like, um, what was it on like one of

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: those big warships in the ocean. Um it was. It

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: looked cool. I mean you know it wasn't as awesome

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: because uh, it was outdoor basketball. Um, but it still

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: looked cool. Now you know what's next is um, the NBA.

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: What do they have in store? Something that's intimate And

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: sometimes guys, a smaller crowd can be better for the

46
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: fans and the experience, Like it was tough to get

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: a ticket for the Field of Dreams game. I think

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: they had eight thousand fans there, um in a town

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: with the population and like four thousand. So it was

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: just it. Everything about it felt exclusive and cool, kind

51
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: of like a New York City club. And I could

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: go on a rant because I love to talk about myself,

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: um about how one of the most memorable New York

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: City repetitive nights for me was this place called Swede

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: on Tuesday Night. And you're like, Tuesday Night, Well, Tuesday

56
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: night's like a model night. Uh, if you're a young

57
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: guy in New York City, like I was, like, models

58
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: don't go out as much on like Friday, Saturday. They're

59
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: going to like parties. The clubs are during the week,

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: and that's what's popping off. And I'll never forget I

61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: have my buddy in town. I don't think his wife

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: listens to this, but I'm not gonna say his name

63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 1: to protect him. Anyway, he was on a business trip

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: up to New York and I said, listen, Tuesday night,

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: I know this place pops off. How do I know this? Why?

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: I worked at US Weekly, and you know, the other

67
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: reporters were young, and they would say like, oh, this

68
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: place is great, and this celebrity was there, and of

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: course like you know, awesome. Um So Tuesday night, this

70
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: place called Swede I don't remember exactly, I want to

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: say like it was in like the teens on the

72
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: East Side, and it was like nondescript. You didn't really

73
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: know about it. But I knew that we would struggle

74
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: to get in if we went late. So the move

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: was we had to go a little early, look the part,

76
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: and you know, just hang there for like three hours

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: until it popped off. So we go early. We're not

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: the first people there, but we're early and we get

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: in because there's no line, and you know they weren't

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: it was early, and well, I guess we look moderately cool.

81
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: So we get in and we're just unfortunately getting hammered

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: way too early, and the place, of course, like it

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like long and then you turned around and boom,

84
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: the place is slammed and it's like Vegas tens everywhere.

85
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: It's just an incredible night. The funniest part was me

86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: and my buddy were only like three years out of

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: college and maybe two years out of college, and there

88
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: was this girl who was like maybe she was a

89
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: freshman when we were seniors, but you could tell like

90
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: she was going to run the school UM eventually. But

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: she was younger and she was there, she had just

92
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: graduated UM and she was at the She was like,

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like we were friends. Now. We never

94
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: spoke at school. She would like being functions, but we don't.

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: We never really spoke to her, and we were hanging

96
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: out with her all and she knew like, of course,

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: a ton of people, because all hot chicks do. But exclusivity,

98
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: there is something to that, and I think that was

99
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: part of the reason the Field of Dreams game was

100
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: so damn popular. It was like everybody wanted to be there.

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: It was intimate, small. I mean, I think this thing

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: is gonna be a hit every year. I don't know

103
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: what the NFL can do, Uh, the NBA can probably

104
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: find some kind of and I know people are gonna

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: scream hoosiers, hoosiers, Uh, they could find small gyms and

106
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: play it. I don't know if it will look as

107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: good on TV. You know, the NBA crowds are crazy.

108
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: Baseball crowds are good. They're not as rabid because the indoor,

109
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: the noise and the NBA games. But at any rate, um,

110
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: uh Cubs Reds in two and uh if Fox televises that,

111
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: I guess I'll do my best to try to get there. Uh.

112
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: The other point and and I'm gonna keep this short

113
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: and sweet, is this is becoming a big day for

114
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow. UM Tuesday. I believe this is the first

115
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: day the Jags will make cuts. Um and uh, you

116
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: know there's a chance Tebow gets cut. I personally don't

117
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: think it will happen. I think either way people are

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna be outraged. How is he still there? That's so unfair?

119
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Like you guys just don't know how life works. Okay,

120
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: urban Meyer and Tebow were like living in the same neighborhood.

121
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: They were coach and quarterback over a ten years ago.

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: There's a relationship there, there's a history, there's trust. The

123
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: fourth string tight end does not have that. I'm sure

124
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: I'll be talking about that this morning on the Dan

125
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. Yes, I'll be hosting with Doug Gottlieb. If

126
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: you're listening to this podcast later in the day, well

127
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: you missed me on the Dan Patrick Show at any rate.

128
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: Without further ado, let's get to my main man, Brett

129
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: McMurphy of the Action Network. Jason likes to think he

130
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: knows everything when it comes to sports. I know what

131
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: sports dance want, but for everything he doesn't. He knows

132
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: a guy who does. Let's just say I know a

133
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: guy who knows a guy he knows another guy. All right,

134
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: let's welcome into straight fire. A guy who's uh, he's

135
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: been one of those interesting fellows who spent time in

136
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: newspapers right enough time to like really soak it up

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: and enjoyed life the newspapers. And he's pivoted so smoothly

138
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: to digital. Uh. And he just left stadium for the

139
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Action Network, so you know what that means, churching, gambling.

140
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Brett McMurphy, Brett, how are you man? Hey, Jason. Great

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: to talk to you, buddy. Yeah, it's been a while.

142
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: I think we talked cheese. I think I was back

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: at like the Big Lead, I don't know, like maybe

144
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: ten years ago, seven to ten years ago. And I

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: think I chronicled your big move to ESPN, Right, you did,

146
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: and we we touched face I touched faith based with

147
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: you and every member of the media on the face

148
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: of the earth when I broke the Urban Meyer stuff

149
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: when I was when I was, ESPN was paying me

150
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: not to work and I was reporting on Facebook. So

151
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: good to good to catch up though, so epic. Uh.

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: And I just want to ask because like, I'm one

153
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: of those weird guys who like, when I was in college,

154
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: cell phone started coming out. But I never had a

155
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: cell phone in high school or college. But as soon

156
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: as I got out, I was like, oh, this flip

157
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: phone thing, Yeah, this is gonna be a big deal. Um.

158
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: And and you were in newspapers like I went to college,

159
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Brett to be a journalist. I wanted to work at

160
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: a newspaper and like cover the Lakers, like that was

161
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: an idea of fun. You actually did that in Tampa

162
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: for many many years. Right, I did do that. When

163
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: I grew up in Oklahoma City, I dreamed of working

164
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Morning News someday. That never worked out.

165
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: I worked for the Tampa Tribune for like twenty years.

166
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: But you know, uh, probably living it was two thousand

167
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: eight or nine. Uh, I just saw what was going

168
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: on with the Internet, and unfortunately I saw what was

169
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: going on with newspapers and it sucks. I hate that.

170
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: But I was able to jump to a O L

171
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: FanHouse may arrest in peace and then from there, uh,

172
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: CBS Sports, ESPN Stadium and now with the Action Network

173
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: and again I hope, I think I am. I'm on

174
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: the same trajectory with with Action being you know, look,

175
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: we're not a sports book. I'm not a tout by

176
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: any means, but being involved in the gambling space without

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: the legalization of sports betting, I think is the next

178
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: move to make. And I'll be fascinated to see if

179
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: other insiders, whether it's NFL, NBA, etcetera, will join on

180
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: with other non traditional media sites. I think it would

181
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: be sooner rather than later. In fact, i'd bet if

182
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: there are a lot more agree with you. And it's

183
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: weird because there's a lot of old timers Brett, you

184
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: know them who are just stuck in their ways and

185
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: they're like, I'm a newspaper guy. I don't want to

186
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: be like a digital guy and have to put out

187
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: many stories like I just I like how you have

188
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: been persistent in seeing what the landscape is giving you

189
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: and then adjusting. Not a lot of people can do that.

190
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: How I'm just curious, how has your wife and family

191
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: taken to kind of the difference in lifestyle, because this

192
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: is a big difference digital versus newspaper. It's funny, Jason,

193
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: I've had I don't know, five different jobs, six different

194
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: jobs in the past probably twenty years. Uh, that's the

195
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: bad news. The good news is I haven't we haven't

196
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: had to move out of Tampa the entire time, so

197
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: you're able to do everything mobile. Um. But you're right.

198
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, any old timers like that,

199
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: they're dinosaurs. UM. And Nick's you know, Nick Saban has

200
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: talked about it when he changed his offense. Either adapt

201
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: or you die. And that's kind of the way I

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: look at it. And again, UM, a big thing is Twitter.

203
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: You know, no matter where I'm at, I can stay

204
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: relevant on Twitter. I can link my stories to whatever

205
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: company I'm working for. UM. And I think what what

206
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: really brought this home to me was when I got

207
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: laid off from ESPN. I had eighteen months left. They

208
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: paid me not to work I could not work, so

209
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: all I could do was sit on the couch and

210
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: eat fiddle fattle for eighteen months, which I did a lot.

211
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Or I could just I could eat. I could try

212
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: to report stuff on my personal Facebook page, on my

213
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: personal Twitter page that wouldn't violate the agreement with the ESPN.

214
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: And then fortunately I was able to break you know,

215
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. I broke Scott Frost to Nebraska during the

216
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: UCF game when Steve Levy. I still owe him a

217
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: beer for this, when he mistakenly said first reported by

218
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: our own Brett McMurphy. And I've been laid off, so um.

219
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, I've been very fortunate, and yeah, very pomped

220
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: about the Action Network and all the stuff they're doing there.

221
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: I had totally forgotten about the Urban Meyer thing. I

222
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: mean that was colossal. Now, I just we're gonna focus

223
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: on college. But I just want to ask about Urban Meyer.

224
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: I am curious, and you don't have to answer this.

225
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Did you hear from him after you broke the story?

226
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: And do you guys have any kind of relationship now?

227
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: And how do you think he'll do uh in the

228
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: NFL this year? Uh? The only I talked to him

229
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: at Big Ten Media day, like the day I broke

230
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: the or the day after I broke the story, and

231
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: I talked to him in an interview setting there. I

232
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: have not talked to him since. I have not seen

233
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: him since. Um. And I said that then, and I'll

234
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: say this now. I think he is one of the

235
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: greatest college football coaches, UH presently and and of all time. UM,

236
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: I just I don't have I don't know if that

237
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: will work at the pro level. We're gonna find out.

238
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's a million examples of guys that didn't

239
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: work out. There's a few examples of guys where it

240
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: did work out going from college to the NFL. UM.

241
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I have no matter what he's

242
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: done off the field and some of the curious decisions

243
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: he had made and didn't make concerning um, you know,

244
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: Zack Smith and all that stuff that went down, he's

245
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: a hell of a coach. There's no doubt about that.

246
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: Does that translate to a successful NFL coach? We're gonna

247
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: find out. Yeah. I on on meeting Urban, I am curious,

248
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: Like sometimes it is awkward. I had broke a story

249
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: on Chris Carter when he was at ESPN and it

250
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: ended up with him leaving. Uh. And then I was

251
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: on TV on a TV set with him like two

252
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: years later, and it was awkward to very initially, Um,

253
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: but we got past that quickly. Was it awkward with

254
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: Urban and the day after you broke a huge story

255
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: on him at ten? Now, it really wasn't because it

256
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: was a it was a press conference setting. It wasn't

257
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: a one on one um. He later. The way the

258
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: Big Ten Conference sets up their media days, it's been

259
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: it's the coaches or players sit at a table or

260
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: a podium and everybody kind of circles around him. So

261
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: there's you know, you're within arms length of them, but

262
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: you and forty other media people. So no, it wasn't.

263
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't. Uh, it wasn't awkward for me and he

264
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,359
Speaker 1: you know, I asked a question, he answered it, um,

265
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: and that was that was basically it. All right, let's

266
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: move to college football, Brett. So, one of the biggest

267
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: things now that you're at Action Network, I have a

268
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: feeling that the injury spotlight in college football is going

269
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: to become like a bigger story in the NFL. The

270
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: injury reports are daily, right, everybody knows like if somebody's

271
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: out or doubtful what that means, like it's persistent throughout

272
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: the week. We don't really get that in college football

273
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: as it pertains to gambling. It's kind of a big deal.

274
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: If a star, our quarterback, wide receiver, running back, you

275
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: know whatever, whatever is not gonna play. Do you think

276
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: there can be an edge gained in gambling on college

277
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: football knowing big injuries and and will college football kind

278
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: of adapt with the times and start revealing more information?

279
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Is there an advantage? Absolutely so. Whether it's uh, the

280
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: Sunbelt or the MAC or the SEC, they're all you're wagering.

281
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's still money, you know. Um, Will they

282
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: adapt to the NFL? Absolutely not. And that's the thing.

283
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: The college ranks, the head coaches, the assistants, you know,

284
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: as far as injuries go on, you know, it's like, uh,

285
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, the old Russian block. You're not gonna get

286
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: information out of these guys. And I've talked to several

287
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, s I D s and and and UM

288
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: people with the ESPN about when ESPN will roll in

289
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: to do a game day at a at a site

290
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: and basically the s I D don't tell ESPN before

291
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: the game that the starting quarterback is not gonna play

292
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: because the coach is so paranoid it's gonna get out

293
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: and the other team is gonna be able to adapt

294
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: or prepare for it. I mean we're even talking an

295
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: hour before kickoff. We don't want anything out until kickoff.

296
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: That's just how these guys are wired, Jason. I don't

297
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: think that's ever gonna change. There are there some coaches

298
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: that are you know, Look, if a guy's out, he

299
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: just wants to get it out. The guys out, we're

300
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna go with somebody else. But I would say the

301
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: majority or the opposite, they do not want any injury

302
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: information out there, um until literally the balls in the

303
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: air before disclosing that because they think there's a competitive

304
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: advantage to the other team. I don't necessarily buy it,

305
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: but with all the presser they're under, I guess I

306
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: can see it. Yeah, No, I would agree with that.

307
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: You know that the whole like big fish in a

308
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: small pond deal like one screw up and you get

309
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: the fan base turning on you. It can it can

310
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: move quickly. Now, I will say, even though you don't

311
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: think it's going to change, and I would agree with

312
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: you We've seen so many changes in college football in

313
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: the last fifty years. Obviously the big one this summer

314
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: Texas and Oklahoma leaving for the SEC. I am curious,

315
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: how do you think that's gonna shake out like this year?

316
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: Or Texas and Oklahoma. Are people gonna just hate them

317
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: in conference? Is it gonna be like, listen, I know

318
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: it's but let's get these jerks out of here now. Yeah. Absolutely.

319
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: But for the Big Ten specifically as a league, the

320
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: thing is they want to stay together as long as

321
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: they can, and they want to make as much money

322
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: as they can. So the thinking is they will hold,

323
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: oh you in Texas their feet to the fire and

324
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: make them stay in the league for four more years.

325
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: But then at some point do you just kind of

326
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: accept that, like, look, these guys are gone, let's just

327
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: make let's settle this. We're gonna get a boatload of

328
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: money from these guys, and let's move on. That's how

329
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: it's worked with every other expansive team that went from

330
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: one conference to another. However, the biggest difference in this

331
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: one is with OU in Texas leaving, it could ultimately

332
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: lead to the elimination of a conference, So that's probably

333
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: why the Big twelve of his hesitant on that happening

334
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: as far as the fan base and all that, Oh,

335
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna get crazy. I mean, oh, use last regular

336
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: season game of the year and stillwater bedlam, Um, that's

337
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy. In fact that as a joke, I

338
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: tweeted that, you know, Big twelve has just changed its rules.

339
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: Any player that scores a touchdown and does the horns

340
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: down signal will get nine points for a touchdown instead

341
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: of six. And I actually had to ou graduates by

342
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: the way, text me and say, is that legit? Are

343
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: you kidding? So, oh God, there's gonna be Oh, it's real,

344
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's you know, that's why these

345
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: things usually get settled and you don't have four years

346
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: of lame duck status. But we'll have to say, it's

347
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: kind of a bat. It's like if someone's living together

348
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: with someone they broke up with, you know, it's like,

349
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: what are you doing and get out of imagine and

350
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: then staying four years with your wife because you've got

351
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: to you've gotta you know that you can't get out

352
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: of your your lease for another more years. So spin

353
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: this forward as somebody who likes to look forward on

354
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: the landscape. What are we looking at here three or

355
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: four years from now, We're looking at four power conferences,

356
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: a sixteen team playoff. Where where do you see this headed?

357
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: And I know that I'm not gonna hold you to

358
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: it obviously, like a like, um, oh my gosh, old

359
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: takes exposed he said this three years ago. Like I

360
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: don't give a shit about nobody does. But where do

361
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: you see this headed? We're gonna have multiple conferences with

362
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: sixteen teams. The question is if they're gonna be four

363
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: or five? Um, how we end up at that number?

364
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: That's anybody's guest. One thing I will to you, Jason.

365
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Anyone that says you definitively this is what's going to happen,

366
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: They're they're full of crap because even the commissioners of

367
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: these leagues don't know what's gonna happen yet. There's been

368
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: reports about an alliance between possible lines between the a CC,

369
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: Big TANN and Pact twelve as far as scheduling. Um,

370
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: you know, if you take it to the extreme, the

371
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: possibility that those leagues may all emerge together on some

372
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: on of East coast West coast type deal kind of

373
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: like the NFL has in the National and the American conferences.

374
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: But then that does that impact how many teams you

375
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 1: get into playoff? All these other factors when you start drigging,

376
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: digging down makes them more complicated. I do think this,

377
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: I think ultimately, and I'm an Oklahoma State grad. I

378
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: hate this personally from my alma mater, but I totally

379
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: understand why O you and Texas did this and the

380
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: SEC did this. If you think that down the road

381
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna have sixteen team super conferences, which I believe

382
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: we do and I think a lot of other smart

383
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: people think we do. Would you rather rather be the

384
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: first to get the sixteen, which is what the SEC

385
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: has done, or would you rather wait around and be

386
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: the last to get the sixteen and then your options

387
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: aren't so great? So that's kind of what the A

388
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: C C. Pack twelve and Big ten are kind of thinking,

389
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: is Okay, what's what's our next move? How do we

390
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: combat the SEC? Obviously their meteorites coming up in the

391
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: Pack twelve and the Big ten and the next three

392
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: or four years um also the Big twelve UM, so

393
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: you're we're gonna see a lot of movement. Ultimately, I

394
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: think I hate this for college football because I think

395
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna see the Group of five. If you think

396
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: they're irrelevant, now just wait a few years, they'll you know,

397
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: they may emerge with the FCS. You may have group

398
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: of five schools that just dropped football because if you

399
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: can't play the big money games against the power leagues,

400
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: if they're just gonna play each other, you're only getting

401
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: three four five million a year and METEA rights. You

402
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: can't compete with those other guys three sixty five days

403
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: a year, and that sucks. I haven't I haven't done

404
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: it does suck. I haven't done the numbers. But if

405
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: you just disband the Big twelve and parcel out their

406
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: teams to the a C, C Pack twelve and Big ten,

407
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: does it equal sixteen and four? Well, right now we've

408
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: got if you include a CC, Big Big twelve, but

409
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: five Power five leagues and Notre Dame is sixty five,

410
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: so you could get you could get there. But again, Jason,

411
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: the one thing is everyone think, well, I'm they just

412
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: get the sixteen that makes the most sense. We'll say

413
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: the Big ten. For instance, there at fourteen, there's no

414
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: two teams available that the except for teams in the

415
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: a c C which they have their METEOR rights tied

416
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: up for fifteen years. So it's one thing for ou

417
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: in Texas to get out with four years left. It's

418
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: another thing for a team to get out with fifteen

419
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: years left. We're talking hundreds and hundreds of millions of

420
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: dollars of rights fees. You would you would forfeit. So

421
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: if the Big Ten can't get anybody from the a SEC,

422
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: the only options they have is teams from the Big twelve.

423
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: Maybe get somebody from the Pack twelve. As crazy if

424
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: that sounds, but the bottom line is the only reason

425
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: you do that is if you can increase the value

426
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: of your METEA rights per school. So just because you

427
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: add two teams doesn't necessarily mean that each team is

428
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: going to make more money. You may add two schools

429
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: in the pieces of pie gets smaller, so then there's

430
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: no reason to expand. So uh, somebody had text to be, oh, hey,

431
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: what about you see to the Big ten? And I'm like, well,

432
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: what are you gonna have like the Michigan softball team

433
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: traveling to l A to play a game? Like I

434
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: don't know how, Like I know, we only think about

435
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: football and that's all that matters in the big money.

436
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: But does I mean, does anyone else matter? A disappoint

437
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it does seem a little strange, is it not? Well,

438
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: what they I mean, look anything and everything's on the table.

439
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: As crazy as that sounds. So could USC be in

440
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: the big ten? Yes they could? Um what what happens

441
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: with the Olympic Sports? I think what would happen is

442
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: you would have the Olympic Sports where they would just

443
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: play teams in their region. Um, so they necessarily wouldn't travel.

444
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: You know, you wouldn't see USC at udgers volleyball, and

445
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: then basically the only time they would compete would be

446
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: at a conference tournament or an n c A tournament

447
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. So the the the scheduling that

448
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: you and I are familiar with, where you play everybody

449
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: in the conference, whether it's basketball, volleyball, softball, etcetera, that

450
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: would obviously be tweaked um to make whatever works for football,

451
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: because you know, in football is the one that drives

452
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: the bus, that's where the meteorites are. And so yeah,

453
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: I think that's the least of their concerns, is what

454
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna do Olympic Sports it's more how are we

455
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: going to survive long term with these new meteorites coming up?

456
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: And also everyone doesn't want to get left behind the

457
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: SEC as far as the as far as the media rights.

458
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: So that's why they're thinking of all these different scenarios.

459
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be fascinating. And I'm sure you know

460
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: you'll be talking about various different reports. Some of them

461
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: are most of them are gonna be just guys throwing

462
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: crap against the wall. Um, but they may be throwing

463
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: up trial balloons just to kind of get a read

464
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,720

Speaker 1: R to listen live. All right, onto college football for

469
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: this season. Um, you know, when we headed into last year,

470
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: it was like everybody knew Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields

471
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: are like the two best quarterbacks in the country. Obviously

472
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: Mac Jones kind of popped up, and Jack Wilson had

473
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: a really good year. But this year maybe it's me,

474
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: but I don't know that it's as clear cut that

475
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: like who the best quarterback is some people are saying

476
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: Sam Howell from U n C. Like I would say

477
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: the majority people who listened to this podcast would not

478
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: know him if he delivered door dash to them like today,

479
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: Um that Spencer Rattler would probably be the biggest name.

480
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Is that accurately who's the best best quarterback in college football? Well?

481
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: Best or the who's got the lowest starts to win

482
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: the Heisman? I mean right now, would I would say best? Yeah? Best? Um?

483
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: I would. I would put Sam Howe up there, I

484
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: would put um u I mean Slobus at USC, Yeah,

485
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: J T. Daniels at Georgia. If they actually let him

486
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: do more than hand the ball off, which they did

487
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: the last four games of the last year and they

488
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: actually had a lot of success, I think Rattler will

489
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: put up monster numbers. If there's any you know, college

490
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: football fantasy guys that they already I don't have to

491
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: tell him that. You look at Lincoln Riley and what

492
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: he's done at the quarterback position. It's incredible. Heisman finalists

493
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: the last three years. UM So I expect Rattler to

494
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 1: be in New York. But as far as far as

495
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: the best, it's kind of It's not like the NFL

496
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: where you're comparing apples to apples, because the leagues are

497
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: so different that the style of offenses, the quality of

498
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: defenses are different in league the league, Um, you know,

499
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: you've got corral At at Old Miss, who's gonna put

500
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: up monster numbers with Lane Kiffin. Um, so I guess

501
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm kind of m I guess I'm not answering your

502
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: question who the best one is, But I mean it's tough. Yeah,

503
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I think Sam how is legit

504
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: and with with mac Brown there and what they've done,

505
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: people are a lot of people are expecting big things

506
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: out of out of Carolina there preseason top ten ranking, Um,

507
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: you know, and then in that league after Clemson, you know,

508
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: in Carolina and maybe Miami, you you drop off a

509
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: cliff in that league. So I think I believe Carolina

510
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: is gonna be favored in either all twelve games or

511
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: eleven of twelve games in the regular season. They don't

512
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: get Clemson. Um, so obviously Heisman odds wise, you want

513
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: somebody on a team that's gonna have a lot of

514
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: success If Carolina doesn't stumble, Sam How's got that shot

515
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: to do it. Kind of like Joe Burrow came out

516
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: of nowhere when you let LSU to the national title. Uh,

517
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about Alabama because everybody loves to hate Alabama. Uh.

518
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: They lost six first round picks to the draft, which

519
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: is crazy. I saw some more where they lost where

520
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: they have five new coaches on the staff for saving

521
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: a lot of change there, But it's Alabama. They just reload, right,

522
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Is this still you know the team to beat it?

523
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think Alabama it should be one

524
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: of the favorites to win the title? You know, Jason,

525
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: I vote in the a P Pole and every preseason,

526
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: well for the past few years, I'd sit there and

527
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: I'd consider what you just said. Saban's got five new

528
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: assistant coaches. They just lost six guys in the first round.

529
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: They just lost lost double digits to the draft. Uh,

530
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: they got a new offensive coordinator. They're certainly gonna drop down.

531
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna, you know, drop him from one

532
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: to three. You know that's a huge And then what happened,

533
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: Saban proves you wrong and you brought up valid points.

534
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's new offensive coordinator. You lose half a dozen

535
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: first round picks. They are a lot more inexperienced this

536
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: year than they have been in past years. But dude,

537
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: you can't bet against Saban. I mean you just can't,

538
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: and he would. They were number one on my preseason ballot.

539
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: They were number one voted by ap UM. I think

540
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: George has got a chance to challenge him. But with Georgia,

541
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of mental issues there. As far as Alabama.

542
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: They haven't beat Alabama. Kirby Smart hasn't beat Saban. Saban

543
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: hasn't lost to a former assistant coach. So George has

544
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: gotta get over that mental aspect because they had him

545
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: in the title game, so you know, to ah to

546
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: hit him in overtime. So it's it's um. I definitely

547
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: think Alabama as a team to be It's again, you know,

548
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: let's just look at the last four years of uh

549
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: your preseason podcast, and you know it's the same old

550
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: song and dance Oklahoma, Ohio State, clemps in Alabama, and

551
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: that's that's the four again. Throw George in the mix,

552
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: A and m's got an outside shot. They've gotta they've

553
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: gotta beat Alabama also, and a lot of people like

554
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: Iowa State, they gotta everyone everyone's got everyone back because

555
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: the Super Seniors. But they most talented team they've had.

556
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell's an unbelievable coach. They have one in Norman. Um,

557
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: can they win a Big twelve championship. If so, they're

558
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: certainly gonna be in the playoff and could be a contender. Yeah.

559
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna be in Vegas soon. And uh, somebody

560
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: I respect said, listen, just put a couple of shekels

561
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: on Texas A and M. Just just do it. They

562
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: get Alabama at home. Um, I guess I guess that

563
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the only game Alabama is not a

564
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: double digit favorite this year. Um. Yeah, And I don't

565
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: know A A and M. I'm not a huge Jimbo

566
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: Fish your guy. That's the only thing. Like, I know

567
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: you want a ton at f SU, but he had

568
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: the best players all the time. But I don't know, Brett,

569
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: talk me out of Texas A and M, or or

570
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: talk me into him. Uh, I'll give you to Well,

571
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: obviously you want a national title at Florida State. He's

572
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: also one of eight active head coaches that had a

573
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: team that was ranked in the top ten in the

574
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: preseason and finished that You're un ranked that happened at

575
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: Florida Escape. They come in at number six this year. Um,

576
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: like you said, they're gonna A and M is gonna

577
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: be favored in eleven of twelve games. That one game's Alabama.

578
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: So basically for your your shekels on A and M,

579
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: I guess there's two ways to look at it. I

580
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: would put a small shekel on A and M to

581
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: win the national title. I would put more shekels on

582
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: A and M moneyline against Obama, because you're not They're

583
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: not gonna win the national title if they don't beat Alabama.

584
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: And so if if A and M should lose before

585
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: you get to Alabama, then you don't have to you

586
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: don't have to play the the money eying against Bama

587
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: because you know your national title odds are shot. Um.

588
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I would catch it. Um.

589
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: Everyone keeps waiting and when you're Jimbo Fisher and it

590
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: makes you know, sign a seventy five million dollar contract,

591
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: it's not fair, but the expectations are a national title

592
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: or bust. They've got an empty trophy case waiting to

593
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 1: put a national title trophy in there. Um, you know,

594
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: maybe maybe saving pre profs he's human this year and

595
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: and they drop a little bit and actually lose a

596
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: couple of games. Um. But you know, obviously you're gonna

597
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: need big numbers to take anybody other than there's not

598
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of about I've looked at the number. There's

599
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: not a lot of value. You know, you can take

600
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: a flyer on somebody, but then you know, ultimately by

601
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: the way, I don't have it offense. What was l

602
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: s U that your borrow erupted? I mean they kind

603
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: of came out of nowhere. They weren't like one of

604
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: the favors, right, They were probably like thirty or more

605
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: to start the year, because they actually started the year.

606
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't remember this. They were they

607
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: were six and the a people in the first preseason pole.

608
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: The thing with Burrow was he was not he was

609
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: like a hundred to one or more to win the

610
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: high um because nobody really knew anything about him. And

611
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: then you know he had the he won the Heisman

612
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: when they've wonted Alabama. UM. And uh, you know, so

613
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: that's like when you're looking at Heisman and all the

614
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: people we just named about the top quarterbacks, there's probably

615
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody we didn't name that's gonna win it,

616
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: because that's that's just how it is. They come out

617
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: of nowhere, Like if if I'm spent, the worst thing

618
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: for me is to be the Heisman Trophy favorite, because

619
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: all anyone's gonna do every week is dissect what you

620
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: did wrong. They're not gonna say, oh, rattlers through for

621
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: four hundred yards and three touchdowns are gonna say, Jesus,

622
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: you see that interception? He through? That guy's no good,

623
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, because he's the favorite. And that's what seems

624
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: to happen as far as the Heisman race. I want

625
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: to wrap up with name, image and likeness real quick. Um.

626
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: First of all, hey, this Bryce Young getting a million dollars.

627
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: I think Lane Kiffen was the one who floated that

628
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: correctly if I'm wrong, but like, do you remotely accurate? No,

629
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Saban actually floated it. He was he was talking, He didn't.

630
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: He was talking at a Texas high school coaches convention

631
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: and basically said that that his quarterback had in had

632
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: in the had in the area or in the range

633
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: of seven figures. Well, look, a hundred dollars is in

634
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: the range of seven figures. When you get down to it.

635
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: So you know, could he get seven figures? Absolutely? Does

636
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: he already have seven figures? I seriously doubt it. I mean,

637
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: coaches do one thing three six days a year, and

638
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: that's cruding recruiting, and that's what Saban was doing when

639
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: he's talking all these Texas high school coaches. So you know, look,

640
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, I didn't mention him. Alabama runs a table

641
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: and he puts up numbers like Mac mac jones did

642
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: he maybe winning the Hidsman? So, um, WILLI end up

643
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: with seven figures? I'm I'm kind of doubtful on that,

644
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean this is uncharted territory, so

645
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: we couldn't see people making this. Um does this this

646
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: keep kids in college a year longer? Now too if

647
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: they have a chance to break in this money potentially

648
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: comparable to maybe an NFL contract. That that angle I

649
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: had not thought of. But the recruiting angle is very funny.

650
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: Of course, Saban says that in the state of Texas,

651
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: very fertile recruiting ground. But then you had the kids

652
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: leave from the state of Texas to go to Ohio

653
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: State early. Um. Yeah, so he skipped the senior year

654
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: because the state of Texas doesn't allow. Um, I guess

655
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: n I L for high school players. So he was like, well,

656
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip my senior year and I'm gonna go

657
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: to Ohio State because of N I L. Because he's

658
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: going to make money at Ohio State. Look that's great.

659
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: More power to him. I I don't know about you,

660
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: but I freaking love my senior year of high school.

661
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could do that. But I

662
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: also wasn't the top rated recruiting the country even Yes, yeah,

663
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: our experiences in college as a freshman a little different,

664
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: but that you you bring up a good question though,

665
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: like I don't know how much can these guys make?

666
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: And at what point, though, do we start to see

667
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe divisions in the locker room. Like

668
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: if you're making a ton of money off N I

669
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: L and you start rolling up and I don't know,

670
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: a Lamborghini or a super awesome ride, are you gonna

671
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: Is there a chance to turn off some of your teammates?

672
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: Could that? Could that be a wedge in any way,

673
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: shape or form, or is that a coach's job that

674
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: and we just you report on it the coaches decide, Yeah,

675
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: I don't Jason I don't think so. I mean, like

676
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: Deeric King at Miami, he's already said that he's going

677
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: to share his n i L stuff with his teammates.

678
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: You've seen a couple of other players have done that.

679
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: And also everyone whenever they bring that argument up, and

680
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: I think it's valid. But when everyone brings that argument up,

681
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: it's like, that's exactly how it is. In the NFL.

682
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: De Lineman not blocked for Brady because he's making more

683
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: than a small country gross national product. You want to win,

684
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: you want to do what's best. So if the guy

685
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: in like the NFL, the guy's an asshole, then you're

686
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: not gonna have you know, you're not gonna play hard

687
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: for him, You're not gonna work for with the guy's

688
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: a good guy. Um, you know they'll deal with it,

689
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: you know. I mean the quarterbacks, the running back, the receivers.

690
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: They get all the media attention anyway. Now they're getting

691
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: compensated more. It's not anything new. And shoot, there's a

692
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: there's a ton of offensive lines that are getting sponsored

693
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: by the barbecue restaurants, so that you know, that's all

694
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: they're worried about. Yeah, I do love the n I

695
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: L thing. All right, Brett mcburphy follow him. He's at

696
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: the Action Network a lot of gambling. Are they gonna

697
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: make you do picks every week? Bread or do? Did

698
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: you talk them out of that? No? I think I

699
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: may do some. Um, you know, I'm not. You know,

700
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: it's obviously you know I will do them early enough,

701
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: so it's not like, oh, by the way, I know

702
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: Bryce Young is not playing this week, and I'm not

703
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna report it for for four days until I until

Speaker 1: I place a wager against Alabama. So no, I'm not

705
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: gonna do that. But you know, I'm sure I've done

706
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: it in the past, whether it was on Twitter or

707
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: with the ESPN or CBS and even stadium where I

708
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: did you know your your cliche picks call. I'm so,

709
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll throw some stuff out there and uh,

00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, just take the opposite side and you'll do well. Yeah,
