Speaker 5: Niki is like the San Francisco to if Athens is

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: la That'salik's like San Francisco.

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: It's a northern Greek town. Can you take us one day?

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: Can we go on a trip.

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 6: I've never been to the Sikile, that's even more reason

51
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 6: for us all go.

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: I know people that used to live there. Though. It's

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: a nice place. I heard it's really cool. Where do

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: you go when you go to Greece?

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 5: I was married in a town on the backside of

56
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 5: the island of Rhodes, which is not a place where

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 5: my family is from. But ever since we got married

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 5: there in the Greek church and my wife converted in

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: all that, people in the village sort of remember us.

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 5: So I like to go back there. But this time

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 5: of year it's desolate. I mean, there's nobody there. Greek

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: islands are very seasonal, so the people that live there

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 5: during this time of year live a very austere, spartan lifestyle.

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 5: There's not much open, there's no club life, it's cold,

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 5: it rains, so it's really a summertime thing out there.

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: But the town I got married and if anybody wants

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: to look it up, is a place called Landos l

68
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: n dos Rhads, which is very old old actually, the

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: village predates the name of the island of Rhodes and

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 5: was mentioned in the Iliad by Homer, So they're very

71
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: proud and there's about three hundred of them. And there's

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 5: a lot of British people there because Roads used to

73
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: be a British island during the Crusades, so there's British

74
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 5: castles and stuff like that. And there's a lot of

75
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 5: automate influence because Rhodes is really close to Turkey the Turkeys, Yeah,

76
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: used to be Turkey, so and that that's also very

77
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 5: volatile between the Greeks and the Turk. So very interesting

78
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 5: place of antiquity.

79
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: But my family, very interesting history.

80
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: Lesson my family is from the Peloponti switch is below Athens.

81
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 6: Did you get good grades, man, No, like you're super smart,

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 6: And I was about to say you probably got horrible grades.

83
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: You're probably just an average student. I was not a

84
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: good student. I did better in college, okay.

85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 6: And the reason why I say that, let me let

86
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 6: me qualify it because and I'm calling you a brilliant

87
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 6: dude on having information. No, you are a pretty brilliant dude.

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 7: Man.

89
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 6: I listened to the things you say. But generally people

90
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 6: is intelligent as you are aren't stimulated enough because you're

91
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 6: generally probably more intelligent than the person who was probably

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 6: tasked with educating you. So you end up being a

93
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 6: person that it doesn't do very well in school.

94
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: So I was not a good student. Okay, you weren't interested,

95
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: that's all I guess not I was seen as an idiot.

96
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, class clown, but your class clownness, your class clownness

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 6: was offensive and bothersome to those who ran the classrooms

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 6: because it was over their head or.

99
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 2: Its equal trying to learn?

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I good at the normal better

101
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 6: the normals.

102
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: You know, you're you're not a normal dude. Bro, You're

103
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: a pretty different dude.

104
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: And speaking of different dudes, why don't you ever come

00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 6: you don't like being around people, but it still seems

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 6: like it would be an event where.

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: Where you have to get on a plane.

118
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,159

119
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 6: can draft Vegas. Isn't a bad draft from where you're at.

120
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: No, I've done it.

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 5: I went to the Mountain West Media Day and I

122
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: was just in Vegas calling a football game at Allegiant.

123
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you fly or did you draft?

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 5: I flew because I had to fly to San Diego

125
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 5: afterwards and call another game in San Diego?

126
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: You did JSX? What is that jet? Sweet X? It's

127
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: like a privat jet, but it's like a public private jet.

128
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: I didn't do that. That definitely afraid of flying. I

129
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: don't like it. No, huh, Like what does that happen?

130
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: It all the time?

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't you guys want to talk about college football?

132
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 6: I'm enjoying breaking you down. Yeah, I mean, you know,

133
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 6: we bring a lot of time.

134
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 5: You know, when I was a child, I was gripped

135
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: with fear and then I kind of just sort of.

136
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: Bulowed over with with uh just will.

137
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 5: But now that I'm getting older, I'm becoming very afraid again.

138
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: How do you play football when you're gripped with fear?

139
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 6: Like that's a total antithesis, answered, give it to us fearfully.

140
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 6: You know, we started the show with Mark, with Big

141
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 6: John Henderson, and you remember the clip of him getting

142
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 6: smacked by by his trainer and he's like, come on,

143
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 6: come on, slap me harder, and like he said, because

144
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 6: he was super like, No, I don't think he said scared,

145
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 6: but he said crazy, nervous and wanted to get his

146
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 6: it out before he even went out on the field.

147
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 6: So you would have his trainer slapped the hell out

148
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 6: of him in the training room before he went out

149
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 6: to the field for warm ups.

150
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: Yes, anxiety.

151
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: Did you have somebody slapping the hell out of you

152
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 6: to get the anxiety out of you?

153
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: I did not. Gripping fear. I didn't. Maybe I should have, well,

154
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: talk to us, talk to us.

155
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: So what you've witnessed from college football, there's been a

156
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: lot of that conversation going on. I'm kind of curious

157
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: the playoff, the group of six teams getting in and

158
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 4: didn't get left out.

159
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: It's really it's really becoming quite a saga, isn't it.

160
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 5: And the whole story about when they expanded the playoff,

161
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 5: and some of the detractors said, but people aren't going

162
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 5: to care about who doesn't get in if so many

163
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: teams get in. I think that story or narrative has

164
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 5: kind of been crushed, especially this year. And I think

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 5: the College Football Playoff really did benefit last year from

166
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 5: having Notre Dame play in four of the games, and

167
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 5: that became a huge story. And Notre Dame is the

168
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: number one brand in all of college sports. So they

169
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: are upset and but heard about this because they feel used.

170
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 5: They feel used, I believe by Disney and the ESPN entity.

171
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 5: Here's what bothers me about it. ESPN has a big

172
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 5: stake in the ACC, right if they don't basically own it. Yeah,

173
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 5: they own the SEC, they own the College Football Playoff.

174
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 5: They own a bunch of shows that sit there and

175
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: argue about all of it and wag the dog and

176
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: get everybody all riled up, including the selection show, which

177
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: Notre Dame feels misled by. And then we all go

178
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 5: through these machinations or these stages of the cross or

179
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 5: whatever you call it to satisfy ESPN basically in a

180
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 5: giant circle jerky. It's crazy.

181
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: It's everybody.

182
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: It's all the same people doing the same thing and

183
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 5: creating the story. Notre Dame obviously, I mean two things

184
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 5: can be true at the same time. Is Notre Dame

185
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 5: being a little bit petulant? Perhaps, But do they have

186
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 5: a point? Absolutely, they have a point, and they feel

187
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 5: on the outside of this. Notre Dame is the only team.

188
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure, as was evidenced by the Longhorn Network,

189
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: Notre Dame is the only team that can have their

190
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 5: own TV deal and they've proven it out since what

191
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: is it, nineteen ninety one?

192
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Nineteen?

193
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: How long have they been on an NBC forever? And

194
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 5: as long as somebody's willing to pay them and they

195
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 5: have their own TV deal, they don't have to join

196
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: anybody's conference or playing anybody's reindeer games. Maybe they have

197
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 5: to adjust their scheduling. I don't know, but I see

198
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 5: their point. Maybe Bovaqua has done one or two too

199
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: many press conferences, but I understand that they're upset about it,

200
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 5: and I just what bothers me is.

201
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't like pretending.

202
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 5: That ESPN doesn't own it all and is pulling all

203
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 5: the strings, and that's part of the problem. And Fox,

204
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 5: where we work, as part of the problem too, because

205
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 5: they own the Big ten and represent the Big ten

206
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 5: and both entities run college football, and we're basically making

207
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 5: it up as we go along, and that's going to

208
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: lead to a lot of incongruity. That's always been our sport.

209
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 5: There's always been a lot of confusion and a lot

210
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 5: of argument. It's kind of made the sport what it is,

211
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: and the regional nature of the sport and people having

212
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 5: temper tantrums and getting upset and calling others out and

213
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 5: press conferences and things like that is part of it. So,

214
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I understand it pretty well. But the part

215
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 5: that bothers me is that ESPN owns all of it

216
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 5: and we're all just going through the motions for him,

217
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: and I'm tired of that.

218
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 4: So I've kind of taken this stance on on social

219
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: media for whatever the whatever that matters. But Notre Dame

220
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 4: decides to opt out of the ball game, and I

221
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: understand the motivations as to why, based on how ESPN

222
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: handled the college football playoffs, some of the things that

223
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 4: were told in the weeks leading up that they were

224
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 4: going to be good, they were going to make it

225
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 4: in and obviously that rug gap pulled out from underneath

226
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: of them in the final ranking, and then you know,

227
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: ESPN turns around and says.

228
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: Hey, but come play this bull game. You know you

229
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: want to play for a national.

230
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: Chance we own and we're gonna, Yeah, we're going to

231
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 5: man pop Tart. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna make you

232
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 5: do snow Angels in the rosting.

233
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

234
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 4: And we're going to make sure that we bring in

235
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: a team that also didn't get in as frustrated in BYU,

236
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 4: and we're going to promote the fact that neither of

237
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: your institutions wants anyone to have sex before marriage and

238
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: go from there. But there's a lot of pushback from people,

239
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: and it feels like it's mostly from ESPN folks because

240
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: obviously this hurts their bottom line, but even like other

241
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: people out there, which they're chiming in, and I'm kind

242
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: of like, here's my opinion on all this. We played

243
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 4: in a Bowl game when after ty Wllingham got fired,

244
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: and we voted as a team to do it because

245
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: of a lot of our upper classmen said, unless you're

246
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 4: playing for a national championship, which at that day and

247
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: age right, it was all the BCS or at BCS

248
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: New York six game, you don't go. And we had

249
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: to convince our upper class and to go and it

250
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 4: was like a sixty to forty VOA. And you know

251
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 4: what happened in that bowl game. No one took a

252
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: we got beat up. No one took us seriously, Like

253
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 4: the coaches were looking for jobs players. Everyone was going

254
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: out the entire time. We're in Scott's though. No one

255
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: took it seriously, and everyone says, like, we'll look back

256
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 4: on it, you know, would you have done something differently? Yeah,

257
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: probably not go Probably not go to a bowl game

258
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: that it was a great experience. I had a fun

259
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: time with my teammates, but it was basically a party.

260
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: Could have done that on campus, could have gone on

261
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: vacation together, something else. And so today, like twenty some

262
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: years later, like I look at a Petros and guys

263
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: are opting out because they either going to the draft

264
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: or maybe they're just going to go in the transfer portal,

265
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: or maybe there's even some players who have some injuries

266
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: that need to get stuff taken care of. Coaches are

267
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: looking at the transfer port that comes up here in

268
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: January trying to either retain.

269
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: Guys or fill in spots in their roster.

270
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: It's like it almost makes the case like why would

271
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 4: you play an exhibition game if you're not playing for

272
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: national championship. Like, I understand that everyood loves football is

273
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: for the love of the game and all that, but

274
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: really it's like, what's the upside.

275
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: Anymore with some of these games? Some of them?

276
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: Right, every team has their own story and every individual

277
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 5: coach and group of players has its own motivation. So

278
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 5: I think you're absolutely right. For some people, it doesn't

279
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 5: make sense. For others, they're hypermotivated to have the extra

280
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 5: practice and try to keep the team together and retain players,

281
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 5: or have one more game together and do all that

282
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 5: stuff that we say. I think it goes both ways,

283
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: and I absolutely agree with all of your points.

284
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: I don't think Notre Dame wanted.

285
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: To play in ESPN's charade this year after they felt

286
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 5: used by ESPN during the year, and I think that's

287
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 5: absolutely fine that they didn't want.

288
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: To do it.

289
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 5: And it's totally understandable for some people or some teams

290
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 5: and some individuals the Bowl game is meaningful. For others,

291
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: just depending on circumstance.

292
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: It isn't.

293
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 5: And I think that's fine. If I'm Notre Dame, I

294
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 5: wouldn't want to go have mayonnaise port all over my head,

295
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 5: or run around with the giant pop tart and sit

296
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 5: there and play while the announcers eat and chew in

297
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: the microphone. I totally get it. It totally makes sense

298
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 5: to me. The Bowl season has become something different. I

299
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 5: don't know if it's going to go away, or how

300
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 5: many will go away, or what will happen, but I

301
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: think you're absolutely right. It's just the part that bothers

302
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: me is that everybody just acts like the whole thing's

303
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: not orchestrated by ESPN and their pundits go on and

304
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 5: make all these points and get all excited and point counterpoint,

305
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: and of course we don't have any like It's the

306
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,119
Speaker 5: most ridiculous thing in the world. It's worse than politics.

307
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: And that's part of the problem here. I think, if

308
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 5: you're going to have a committee, which it's not necessary,

309
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 5: but if you're going to have a committee, just have

310
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 5: football people. Are media people like Ivan masl Is on there.

311
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: That's great.

312
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 5: The guys worked everywhere and Sports Illustrated and all that.

313
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 5: Chris All, Mike Riley, Wesley Walls like those are hardcore

314
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 5: football people. But with all due respect to administrators, ads

315
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: are politicians, and politicians do what they flip on public opinion.

316
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 5: They have yeah, politics, politics, publicy, no backbone whatsoever. And

317
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 5: that's why you'll have Notre Dame ahead of Miami all

318
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: year and then suddenly the year ends and it flips

319
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 5: because of political pressure.

320
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: And that's what you have.

321
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: On this board or committee or whatever with a bunch

322
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 5: of ads. If you need to have an administrator, have

323
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 5: one ad be in charge of the whole thing and administrate.

324
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: But to have a bunch of.

325
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 5: Ads in this group makes the group political and politics suck.

326
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 5: If you're going to have a Maybee, you have hardcore

327
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 5: football people, and you'll probably have a less offensive vote

328
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 5: at the end of the year or less surprising vote

329
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: at the end of the year.

330
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 6: Pat tros H, let me follow up on what Q

331
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 6: was saying. Not to step on one, you Jones, but

332
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 6: they want to get too far away from what Q

333
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 6: said the first time in track Yeah yeah, ten dollars yeah,

334
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 6: uh so, so let me ask you.

335
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: Let me ask you.

336
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 6: This, Does this actually create a critical mass situation in

337
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 6: your estimation, like the fact that the premise behind why

338
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 6: Notre Dame doesn't want to do it, you know, doesn't

339
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 6: want to play this game and do the ring around

340
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 6: the Rosie dance with ESPN. Does this set a precedence

341
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 6: that could be dangerous to ESPN moving forward?

342
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think they're going to sell off their stuff.

343
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 5: I think what's likely to happen is they'll be a

344
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 5: bigger playoff. ESPN will sell off some of that to Fox,

345
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 5: just like they've sold some of it off.

346
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: To TNT, and the charade will continue.

347
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: I think the conference championship games are obviously in jeopardy

348
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 5: unless they become playoff elimination.

349
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: Games, which would make a little bit more sense.

350
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 5: And then you have the big mass of bowl games.

351
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 5: Some of those are probably going to end up going

352
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 5: away as well. We need a commissioner or some kind

353
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 5: of czar of college football, but who's going to agree

354
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 5: on that. I mean, the two people that are in

355
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: charge are the people that run ESPEN and Fox, behind

356
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 5: the proxies of the big ten in the SEC. So

357
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 5: I think that we reach critical mass a few years ago,

358
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 5: probably LeVar, But there's nobody with enough power to get

359
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 5: everybody under the same roof and to fix the thing.

360
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 5: So if what you like about college football is the chaos,

361
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 5: which is basically what it's always been, then this is

362
00:19:59,200 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: a great.

363
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: Time to alive.

364
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: Has what college football's turned into because you're somebody who

365
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: grew up family history in college football, you love the

366
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: traditions all that come along with it. Has sort of,

367
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: and we talked about a little in the offseason, has

368
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: this mixed with, you know, the business side and the

369
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: discussions and the has it kind of I don't want

370
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: that tainted. For lack of a better term, I don't know.

371
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all on the whole sport, not.

372
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 5: Really, because if you look back on it, there really

373
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 5: is no good reason that we have and I'm sure

374
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 5: I've made this point before, but there's no good reason

375
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 5: to have these gigantic, multi billion dollar football entities within

376
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 5: our institutions of higher education. In so many ways, the

377
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 5: football team has become the identity of a lot of

378
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 5: these schools, and those two things they really don't jib

379
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 5: It's just something that happened in the early part of

380
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: the twentieth century. And I don't think it happened on purpose.

381
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 5: It happened because the sport was popular and there was

382
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: a demand for it, just like it would happen with

383
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 5: any sport that got popular. The pile of money that

384
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 5: started being made by the athletic departments because of the

385
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 5: TV deals and all the endowment and the boosters and

386
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 5: all that stuff. It got so big that it kind

387
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 5: of towered behind the people that were in front of it,

388
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 5: and that money has to be distributed to people that

389
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 5: are playing.

390
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: At this point, it just has to be.

391
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 5: We could say when Mike was going to games with

392
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 5: my grandfather and my dad at the coliseum and watching

393
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: players play and listening to the fight song, that it

394
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 5: was a purer time.

395
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 2: But what's so pure about it?

396
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 5: You have a bunch of guys making a bunch of

397
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: money for the university that end up getting spit out

398
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 5: by the program when their career is over. We've all

399
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: seen what football can do for people in a positive way,

400
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 5: we've all seen what it can do for people in

401
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 5: a negative way, and we've all seen the ugly side

402
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 5: of the sport, however you want to define that. And

403
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 5: all of that stuff was going on when we thought

404
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 5: the game was more quote unquote pure. So I think

405
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 5: we've always been in the sewer and now it's just

406
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 5: a lot harder to maintain a team and grow a

407
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 5: team and to cultivate a culture, but that doesn't mean

408
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 5: we still don't have culture, and we still don't have games,

409
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 5: and we still don't have identities of coaches and programs.

410
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: So I look back.

411
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 5: I try to avoid talking about the good old days

412
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: because I don't think they exist. I think this has

413
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 5: been an evolving kind of It's been an evolving anomaly

414
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 5: for over one hundred years, ever since Redgrange made the

415
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 5: sport popular at Illinois. And we live in it now

416
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 5: and there's nobody. The NCAA is two week to take over.

417
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 5: The TV companies aren't going to get along and promote us.

418
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: I mean, we've had some uniformity. The SEC agreed to

419
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: play the extra conference game and all that, and they

420
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 5: closed one of the transfer portals. So you could say

421
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 5: that's progress, but it's a little bit like throwing a

422
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 5: deck chair off the Titanic with all the stuff that's

423
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 5: going on.

424
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: It's a great visual.

425
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 4: By the way, you also talked about the expansion and

426
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 4: Fox can get peace. I'm not so sure a little

427
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 4: bit because of how divisive things are between ESPN and Fox.

428
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: And they'll be do a TNT branding. I believe on

429
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: this year's playoff in some games. I mean, TNT is

430
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: really not involved much at all in college football.

431
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: But I digress. I want to generally ask you this.

432
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: You're done with call on games, like, yes, well obviously

433
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 4: you got the radio show going on, But is this

434
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 4: kind of a like what do you venture into this

435
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: time of year?

436
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 5: Some other stuff you guys are doing. I assume family

437
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 5: traveling all that. I wish I could find a way

438
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 5: to make some more money, but well, the Pro Football

439
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 5: Foundation or the National NFF give me some money.

440
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: To tell my story.

441
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I need money, but this time of year I

442
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 5: just kind of delve back into family life and try

443
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 5: to make sure trying to make sure that everybody gets

444
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: their holiday wishes, and trying to support my wife. It's

445
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: not an easy time because you kind of strive and

446
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 5: strive for the year to end, as you guys know,

447
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 5: in the football season, and then the year ends and

448
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 5: you remember all of the problems that you had before

449
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 5: it began, and you kind of.

450
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: Have to go back to working on those. So that's

451
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: kind of where I'm at.

452
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 5: Usually I go through a real state of elation when

453
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 5: the season is over, and then a feeling of loss

454
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 5: and desolation, which is what.

455
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: Is there any sort of optimism or positivity. Can you

456
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: can talk to us about this time of day? No,

457
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 2: I mean the Dodgers signed Edwin.

458
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, the trumpet guy, he plays a trumpet out of his.

459
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: Ass and then he comes. They do that, the Dodgers, Yeah,

460
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna do it. Oh yeah.

461
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 5: They used to have the Eric Gangne Welcome to the Jungle,

462
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 5: and he used to come out and blow people down.

463
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 5: And then they had California Love with Kenley Jansen not

464
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 5: as popular, and now they'll do the trumpet butt call.

465
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: Well, Petro's gonna be great always. Uh, He's appreciated.

466
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 5: It's another guy that blew out his knee celebrating like

467
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 5: Martine great Gramatica.

468
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah in the the World Baseball Classic.

489
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: We'll get into that for you right here on FSR.

490
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: But thanks to Home Serf for sponsoring this show, because

491
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: owning a home is amazing until it's not. One minute

492
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: you're sipping coffee, the next your ankle deep in water

493
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: from a burst pipe. Repairs don't care about timing, and

494
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: they definitely don't care about your budget. You protect your health,

495
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: your car, even your phone, but what about your home.

496
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: It's probably your biggest investment, and when things go wrong,

497
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: the cost can hit hard and fast. And that's where

498
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: home Serve comes in regular homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover

499
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the day to day wear and tear,

500
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues. You're often on your

501
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: own for those. That's where home Serve comes in. It's

502
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: like a subscription for your home for as little as

503
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: four ninety nine a month. They've got your back. Repairs

504
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: hit fast, and they hit hard. But you could be

505
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: searching for a contractor in a panic, or you could

506
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,200

565
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: All right.

566
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: So some of the best in college football to ever

567
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: do it, and you know, there's there's also some other

568
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: stories going on in college football, which really, like what well,

569
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion, way more interesting than any of the

570
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: round matchups is Notre Dame versus. Everybody has been really,

571
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: really entertaining. Pete Bavaqua, the Notre Dame athletic director, spoke

572
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: yesterday about sort of how things kind of took a

573
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: turn when it came to dealing with the ACC and

574
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Jim Phillips, the commissioner of the ACC, let's take a listen.

575
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 8: I think it was like a three to three and

576
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 8: a half week campaign. Saw the first social media post,

577
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 8: and my gut reaction was somebody in their socialmediate department

578
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 8: got over their skis and did something that the ACC

579
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 8: was going to correct. And quite frankly, I was kind

580
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 8: of expecting a phone call saying, hey, sorry about that.

581
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 8: It won't happen again. But then it did happen again,

582
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 8: and we started to communicate with the ACC texts that

583
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 8: I sent, emails that I sent, and it continued to

584
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 8: happen and I had a conversation, I had a phone

585
00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 8: call with Jimmy we could go today saying hey, listen,

586
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 8: you know that's a conversation I want to keep between

587
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 8: me and Jimmy, but certainly got the point across that

588
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 8: this was raised eyebrows and you got to know it's

589
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 8: caused damage here between the university and the ACC. It

590
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 8: just kind of puzzled us that a conference that's home

591
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 8: to over six hundred of our student athletes walking around

592
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 8: this campus today, I guess chose to go down that road.

593
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: Why would you attack.

594
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 8: An unbelievably important business partner of yours in football and

595
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 8: a member of your conference in twenty four other sports.

596
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: So that's a Notre Dame athletic Derek Man. Have you

597
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: talked to him? I haven't talked to Pete.

598
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 4: I haven't talked to our athletic director, but I would

599
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 4: generally just say this.

600
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: You know, college football is what ultimately drives the revenue,

601
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: drives ratings, and that's Notre Dame's identity.

602
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 4: So I personally look at it and say, I get

603
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 4: it from both sides of it, Like I understand that

604
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: there's a lot of other sports student athletes who are

605
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 4: maybe looking at it going, well, we're in the ACC,

606
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 4: like why why are they campaigning like that?

607
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: But I also look at it and said, you're not

608
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: for football.

609
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: And if Jim Phillips, who's the conference commissioner, is okay

610
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: with them pushing for a team like Miami pushing for

611
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: their conference champion, Duke, Like, I get it, that's fine.

612
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it.

613
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 4: Like I don't look at social media, and maybe that's

614
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: just the difference in age and experience and all that

615
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 4: as social media, like I don't look at it to

616
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 4: be this sort of professional platform.

617
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: It's just not so. When we really.

618
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 4: Want to boil us down and say, well, there was

619
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 4: a campaign to me person, I'm like, all right, like

620
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: water under the bridge, you know. I think one of

621
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 4: the things that that I looked at it was like, okay,

622
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 4: this is more of what I would say was kind

623
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: of an issue. Is when you do something out of

624
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 4: the norm, like the ACC network continually playing the Notre

625
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: Dame Miami game for like two three days straight, whatever

626
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: it was. When you see stuff like that, you're like, okay,

627
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: that's a little different. Like that's someone who's actually taking

628
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: cable channel like airtime and they're playing it over and

629
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 4: over and over again, which is out of the norm.

630
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 2: They've never done that before. I think were the intentions

631
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: were to make sure they reminded people that mind me

632
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: beat Notre Dame, and by political ads that you see

633
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: exactly like that was where you kind of felt like, okay.

634
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 6: But you're making it us versus them thing, and that's

635
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 6: kind of what the idea is really trying to drive

636
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: home here, right.

637
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think the one thing that gets a

638
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 4: little bit like the where the water gets a little muddied,

639
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 4: is like, you have a partial affiliation. So even though

640
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 4: it's twenty four of the sports, you're also playing five

641
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 4: games a year that are against the ACC, and the

642
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 4: ACC schedules that like Notre Dame Messina any control over

643
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 4: which five of those are. There's a lot of people

644
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 4: don't understand how the scheduling comes about for Notre Dame.

645
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: That's part of that. A lot of people, by the.

646
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 4: Way, are like, oh, the ACC saved Notre Dame during COVID,

647
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 4: and there's some truth to that as far as what

648
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 4: the that schedule is going to look like for them

649
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 4: because of how various conferences handled COVID.

650
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: I will remind people too though the one year they.

651
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: Are part of the conference, they swept the regular season

652
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 4: and they played the conference championship game lost to Clemson.

653
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: But still if people wanted to join a conference, that's fine.

654
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: I think Notre Dame is going to compare favorably versus

655
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 4: most they would have in the playoff this year, versus

656
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 4: SEC opponents.

657
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: But I think the greater thing that I would draw.

658
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 4: Or point to that ultimately led to the frustration for

659
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 4: Notre Dame fans not getting the playoff at least in

660
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 4: regards to the ACC was the way they went about

661
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 4: determining who played the conference championship game.

662
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: That should be the same for every powerful conference.

663
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 4: The fact that we don't have, I mean, and this

664
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 4: is really the greater issue in college football, the fact

665
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 4: that not everyone plays nine conference games, which they will

666
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 4: starting next year.

667
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: You get the SEC doing that, obviously, the Big Ten

668
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: does that, the Big Twelve, et cetera. You're getting a

669
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: little bit closer to that.

670
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 4: But then it's like, okay, well can we all agree

671
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 4: not to schedule FCS opponents. Like if you look at

672
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 4: a lot of these old MISS resumes this year, or

673
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 4: excuse me, the SEC resumes this year Old MISS in particular,

674
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: they've had an SEC opponent on it. If you really

675
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 4: break down, they played three teams with winning records the

676
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 4: three or four teams something like that. It's like, all right, well,

677
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 4: how hard was that schedule that no one's talking about

678
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 4: that just because they have one loss, It wasn't that

679
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 4: difficult of a schedule. So there's a lot of inequities,

680
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 4: unequal you know, schedules that were trying to compare it

681
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 4: to determine who should be playing off for this thing.

682
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 4: Well that even extends to the conference championship game. How

683
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 4: do we get those two teams there? If they had

684
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 4: adopted the AAC tie breaking scenarios, which is head to

685
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 4: head then the highest college football playoff ranking, you know

686
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 4: which two teams are, you would have got Miami versus UVA.

687
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 4: Miami would have won. Miami's in, Jmu's out, not her

688
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 4: names in. And that's probably how it should have worked.

689
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 2: Like, as much as.

690
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 4: We want to make this a whole Notre Dame Miami

691
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 4: thing and everything else, Miami should have won the ACC.

692
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 2: They're the best team in the conference.

693
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 4: Instead you have Duke playing offers Uva as a five

694
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 4: loss conference champ because of their odd tie breaking. It

695
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 4: was what record versus common opponents or winning percentagers common opponents,

696
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 4: some odd way in which they went to a third tiebreaker.

697
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 6: But that's not an automatic qualifier, right, Well, no, no,

698
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 6: it would be.

699
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 2: It would be an qualify. It would be automatic qualifier.

700
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean you get a buy So two years

701
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 4: ago it meant you would have you the top four

702
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 4: highest conference champion reicks, we'll get buys.

703
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: Now they just said it's automat qualifiers. So duke, it's in.

704
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: They're not in the playoffs. No, that's what I'm saying.

705
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 4: So because they but no, no, because they weren't one

706
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 4: of the five highest ranked conference champions.

707
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: They're a five lost team. Yeah.

708
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 6: But I think what I think some people have been

709
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 6: getting turned around and mixed up on what automatic qualifying represents. Like,

710
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 6: doesn't mean that if you win your conference in a

711
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 6: power in one of the power in any of the

712
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 6: power for conferences, that you're an automatic quality. That's not it.

713
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: Well again, it's it's that's not it because of the

714
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 4: way these different conferences construct their tie breaking scenarios. Yeah,

715
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 4: it should all be the same, Like aren't we all

716
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 4: angling towards the same thing, Like we're trying to get

717
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 4: all the best teams playing for it. So if you

718
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 4: have different conference tie breaking scenarios, you're gonna come up

719
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: with a different result. The ACC came up with this

720
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 4: result where Duke's playing UVA, and if Duke wins, the

721
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 4: disaster scenario for the ACEC they have to sit there

722
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 4: and look at their conference champ with five losses. That's

723
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 4: not gonna get in the playoff. I had no shot

724
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 4: getting the playoff, even though they I think they ESPN

725
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: had someone there. You're standing on campus to the microphone like, yeah,

726
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 4: Jonas up here. We think that Duke Blue Devils ma

727
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 4: have a shot and get again at that's like, no,

728
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 4: they have no shot.

729
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 6: But you get an ACC team into the College Football

730
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 6: Playoff though.

731
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 4: You do, but they're not recognized as their conference champ, right,

732
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 4: That's what they're saying. They have to be lucky enough

733
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 4: that the committee finally moved them ahead of Notre Dame

734
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 4: because they head.

735
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 6: To head like Ohio State wasn't in the Big Ten

736
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 6: championship game last year, and they and think about it,

737
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 6: and I said that I made this point. Ye before

738
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 6: you have a national title holder that didn't even win

739
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 6: their conference.

740
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 4: There's a there's a conference. Yeah, there's a conference. All

741
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 4: four teams last year in semi files. None of them,

742
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: none of them, none of them won the conference. Weird, So

743
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 4: so why I don't find by that?

744
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 6: But whytchul to me, why should the conference championship matter?

745
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 2: Okay, that brings up another question? Why should it?

746
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 4: Like like if i'm if i'm you know, I mean,

747
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to talk for Peter, I'm not trying

748
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 4: to talk to anything else.

749
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: I would I would step back from.

750
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 4: All of this and say, we're not going to point

751
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 4: out like how we feel like we were in you

752
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 4: know it was injust with what happened. Let's talk about

753
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 4: this whole process and let's better understand how we get

754
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 4: to the best twelve of teams playing for it because

755
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: we don't all have the same criteria, we don't all

756
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: have the same stuff. But everyone who wants to hold

757
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: that over Notre Dames head. But join a conference, you

758
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 4: join a conference. You don't need to join a conference

759
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 4: in order to win the national championship, because why the

760
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 4: teams in the conferences don't win their conference and go

761
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 4: play for a national championship?

762
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 2: They played for one last year? Yeah past your point,

763
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State won it last.

764
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 4: Year and they didn't play in their conference champions So

765
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 4: like then it kind of devalues it all together. So

766
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 4: now it makes it like, well, why don't we figure

767
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 4: out a way of structuring this where those games are

768
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 4: like playing games, you know during that weekend?

769
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: Why are we doing conference championship weekend?

770
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 4: Why can't we do like some sort of hey the

771
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 4: top you know, however many teams, the rankings are all

772
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 4: squaring off.

773
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like you could start that round.

774
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 4: There as opposed to saying we got to play conference championships,

775
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 4: then we gotta go to the first round. Then we're

776
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 4: gonna go to the quarterfinal, like you could. You could

777
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 4: expand this thing to sixteen, and we could start this

778
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 4: thing a little sooner, which I think a lot of

779
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 4: people would be all four.

780
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 6: There's too many sensitivities on trying to get X amount

781
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 6: of teams in.

782
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: That's what I think. Yeah, well I think that's part

783
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: of it.

784
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,319

812
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. They've got a brand new quarterback in

813
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: their roster. What's his name, Sims? Philip Rivers. Oh, granddaddy.

814
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: Granddaddy is back at forty four years old. He is

815
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: signed to the Colts practice squad. He could be an

816
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: option if Riley Leonard can't go because of the knee

817
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: injury he suffered. Daniel Jones has been placed on season

818
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: ending ir that's a wrap on his season. And here

819
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: we go with Philip Rivers potentially taken over as quarterback

820
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: one in Indianapolis.

821
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: So interesting.

822
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 4: Note he's on the practice squad now, which means he's

823
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 4: still eligible to be voted in. He's a semi files

824
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 4: for the Hall of Fame. He's still eligible as of

825
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 4: now to be voted now. If he gets moved to

826
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 4: the active roster, clock resets, so you have to wait

827
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 4: another five years.

828
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 2: So interesting kind of note to that.

829
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 4: So obviously he has a desire to want to do

830
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: this to help out to go play. He's been coaching

831
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 4: with high school football, probably.

832
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: Slinging it around. You know, it feels good, they said.

833
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 2: He looked good in the workout.

834
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 4: I think I wonder too if he's seeing not only

835
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 4: how much money some guys are making now, but just

836
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 4: the protection quarterbacks are getting, and he's thinking I can

837
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 4: go in and do this, like I can still go

838
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 4: in and do this.

839
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm out of loss for words on this one. Is

840
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 2: all I'm gonna say.

841
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 6: Forty four, Like I'm literally three to four years older

842
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 6: than him, and.

843
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 2: I know how I feel. I feel old.

844
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 6: He's got to feel old. He's played. He played a

845
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 6: lot longer than I did. I just I don't understand it. Like, listen,

846
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 6: a lot of people had a problem when George Foreman

847
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 6: came back.

848
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: You're old, You're over the hill. That'll never work out

849
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 2: for you. When you get punched, you'll realize you're too

850
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: old for this and you'll go back into retirement.

851
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 6: That I mean, there is the opportunity for this to

852
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 6: be a pretty interesting tale of never giving up. And

853
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 6: if you have a dream of being able to overcome

854
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 6: something like I want to be a forty four year

855
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 6: old that does this after coming back out of retirement

856
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 6: from X amount of years inactive. I guess that makes sense,

857
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 6: but I just don't want to see the alternative. That's

858
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 6: all like if it all, it's all fun and good.

859
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 6: You know, George Foreman was able to get through the

860
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 6: fights and get to a championship fight and win the

861
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 6: title again at an old ass a. He used to

862
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 6: take so many punches thof I mean, bro, he took

863
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 6: a lot of punches.

864
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 4: I remember him at the end of his career when

865
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 4: you're talking about this, Jonas, you did too, but I

866
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 4: just remember thinking, he took so many.

867
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: Times out of the man.

868
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, they couldn't, but he he caught Mike Mercer or whatever.

869
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 6: Michael Mercer, I believe that. Michael Moore, Michael Moore and

870
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 6: he's from WESBA. It's just for me, I don't want

871
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 6: to see somebody get a hold of Philip Rivers and

872
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 6: he just poof and like just you know, literally just

873
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 6: evaporate away after he gets hit, Like I just don't

874
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 6: want to see that.

875
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: You would know this obviously better than I would, But

876
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: just from watching him, he always seemed like a pretty

877
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: quick release, like he was getting.

878
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 2: That really quick release.

879
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 4: He knows how to diagnose everything. And look that they've

880
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 4: got Jonathan Taylor to Lena. So you know, for me,

881
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 4: like I think it's a decent setup. They have a

882
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 4: really good offensive line playing indoors right, and he was

883
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 4: already there, so he knows the system to a degree.

884
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 4: He knows the team, maybe even some of the personnel.

885
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 4: So there are some advantages to why he's the guy.

886
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: I just, you know, I don't know by the way

887
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: he's all ready because I'll say it right now. If

888
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: he's average, they don't even have to make the playoffs.

889
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: If he's average, he's comeback player of the year. I

890
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 1: don't want to hear anybody throw any other name out there.

891
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: And as I go and check who the comeback player

892
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: of the year odds are right now, Christian McCaffrey on

893
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: DraftKings is your favorite.

894
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 2: At minus one forty. Yeah, he's carry them.

895
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: Second is Dak Prescott a plus one twenty five, also

896
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: carry this team, And third Philip Rivers at eighteen to one.

897
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: If he's just average, that guy should win Comeback Player

898
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: of the Year in the NFL this year based on

899
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: what he's doing five years off.

900
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 6: He will base his comeback off of or base it

901
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 6: on him reproducing again.

902
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 2: Like what's hold on? I was going to ask you,

903
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: I can go to the well.

904
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 4: You always bring this up though you think he was

905
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: at home for the five years just miserable and his

906
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 4: waiting for the next.

907
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 6: Say he was miserable, But I'm gonna say, if you're

908
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 6: willing to come back and play after you've been out

909
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 6: as long as he has, as old as he is,

910
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 6: he's looking at the alternative like, Man, I'm coaching, I'm home,

911
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 6: I'm here. It's like I'm herem mob, Hey, that me, Moby,

912
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 6: where are you at?

913
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: Like what? Like bruh?

914
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 6: His house is like a shopping mall, like like seriously,

915
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 6: Like I just I know I get over stimulated and

916
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 6: I'm not anywhere near the amount of kids him or

917
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 6: Sean Alexander have. I'm nowhere near that, And I know

918
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 6: I get overwhelmed, and I'd be like, all right, are

919
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 6: we doing the super Bowl? Like I don't want to

920
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 6: go to the super Bowl, But the only reason why

921
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 6: I want to go to two reasons. See, you guys,

922
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 6: all of us get together and be able to be

923
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 6: in the same place, but I want to get the

924
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 6: hell away from like all of that. From time to time,

925
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 6: I got to get like I'll be sitting up in

926
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 6: there and you actually stop and listen and look at

927
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 6: everything that's going on around you, and you're like, how

928
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 6: the hell did I choose this for myself? Like why

929
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 6: is this where? I? Like, then you start going into

930
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 6: this weird little deal like I used to be somebody

931
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 6: in my life like I used to things used to matter,

932
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 6: and it used to be quiet like and then you

933
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 6: start to look around and then the noise gets louder again,

934
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 6: and then you come back to yourself and it's like, Dad, Dad,

935
