We got NBA games tonight. College football kind 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: of a slate of college football. There's a couple of 17 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: good games, mostly not w SEC, NFL. Same thing. There's 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: like one or two games. Not a great football weekend. 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: Should be a good weekend for baseball. Good weekend for baseball. 20 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 2: I want to start with the game of the weekend, 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: that everybody's gonna talk about is the Packers and taking 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: on Aaron Rodgers and the the Pittsburgh Steelers. First thing 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: is so so Dan, Let me get this straight. Neither 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: of them are wearing their traditional uniforms in this game. 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 2: This in the traditional uniform world. This is as good 26 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: as it gets. Right. Steelers at home should be wearing 27 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: their blacks with their yellow pants, and the Packers should 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: be wearing their road whites also with their yellow pants. 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. I like what the Packers 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: are doing, you know, wearing the those all whites are cool, 31 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: but I don't think this is the game to do that, 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: right that that feels like a Thursday night thing, not 33 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: a Sunday night thing. Sunday night Packers shouldn't they be 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: wearing their traditional uniforms. 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: Well, they both should be, but that's not how things 36 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 3: work in the NFL. I don't mind the Packers want 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: as much. Again, they just need a gold stripe on 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 3: the helmet. It's the medieval times thing that the Steelers 39 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: are that they're going to be wearing. That just bothers me. 40 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: The brown pants, whatever they've got, whatever pattern that is 41 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: on the front of their jersey, the shield. That's just 42 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: I just I understand not forgetting the past, but this 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: just doesn't do anything for anybody except maybe sell a 44 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: few more jerseys for the NFL. 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: Is anybody gonna buy that thing? 46 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there will be. I just don't know if 47 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: they'll make their money back on it. 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: It is uh yeah, it's ugly and it's it just 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: does nothing for the game. There's just so much about 50 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: dress is what's appropriate, not about if you actually dress well. 51 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: It's one of the things I love about Green Bay, 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: Wisconsin is there's nothing ever that's kind of inappropriate in 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: terms of dressing down right. You go to a bar 54 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: and you know this Dan, It's like you're sitting next 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: to the guy. He's wearing jeans and boots and you're like, 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: he could be a multi millionaire or he could have 57 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 2: just got done working on my truck in the shop. 58 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: There's no no real difference there. So how you dressing? 59 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: Being underdressed like this is one where it's pretty simple. 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: It's pretty simple. Packers, Steelers, let's not screw it up. 61 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: Where's something that resembles your traditional uniforms, because these are 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: the ones in which those images are going to go 63 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: out for years and years and years on. Remember when 64 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. I mean, look, I remember when the Packers 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: took on the Vikings at home and Brett Favre came 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: in and won the game. The Vikings were wearing their 67 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: traditional uniforms. Why or as a boomer would say a ESPN, 68 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: what and then there's something else that go ahead? I'm sorry, 69 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: I just said what what? 70 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: What? 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: Yeh? But Rogers is doing that kind of grandfather thing 72 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: right where, you know, it's it's his kind of waning days, 73 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: and so he's talking nice when like, were you that 74 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: nice a long time ago? Here's Aaron Rodgers talking about 75 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: his time in green Bay and Green Bay is gonna 76 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: have a good team this year. It was a game today, 77 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: hirod Ella distant play? 78 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: He is limited, okay, all right today? 79 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: And he is questionable. 80 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: And I like the way those guys are trended. 81 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: So are you able to tell us who's guys? 82 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 5: Feel so good about my time? 83 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: Man? 84 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 5: Because them there Everything great in my life is because 85 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 5: of you know, my football career, and my football career 86 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 5: starts and we'll end one day with with Green Bay. 87 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 5: So we got a lot of love for all those 88 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 5: memories and a lot of great friends that still carry 89 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 5: with me to this day. 90 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 2: He says he it will end with Green Bay? Does 91 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: does that mean the Packers are going to do one 92 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 2: of those one day contract things? Right? Because there is 93 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: the We're like, wait, is he gonna come back to 94 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: Green Bay as a backup quarterback to Jordan Love. I'm 95 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: gonna tell you what. The best thing that happened to 96 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is Jordan Love's good, but he's in comparison 97 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: to Aaron Rodgers just Okay, that's that's the reality of it. 98 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: Living in this town. It's it was. It was kind 99 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 2: of a marriage that had to end at some point. 100 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: Him getting hurt and not having you know, greatness and 101 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: not rubbing it in the face of the Packers I 102 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: think helped. I think there's a younger generation of people 103 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: that they grew up with Aaron Rodgers, love Aaron Rodgers, 104 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: and they they're never going to see the bad side. 105 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: And then I think what adds to that is Jordan 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: Love's not been bad, but he hasn't been great, and 107 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: that helps build up Aaron Rodgers legacy. And then I 108 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: think the last part is Aaron Rodgers is pretty good. 109 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: To Jordan Love, whereas far was not great to Aaron 110 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 2: Rodgers for a long time. And I think they're seeing 111 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: different very differently. Despite the fact there are two Hall 112 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: of Fame quarterbacks that each won a Super Bowl, that 113 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: each left Green Bay and both situations in which they 114 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: left both left for the Jets, and they were both 115 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: kind of weird now they left. Rogers is still more beloved, 116 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: I think than Farvies now. As a native Wisconsinite, how 117 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: do you view Aaron Rodgers today, especially now when he's 118 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: saying only nice things about Green Bay. 119 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: I think in time that he'll be welcome back, just 120 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 3: like Brett Favre was welcome back, and I think that 121 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: day will come for Aaron Rodgers. The unfortunate thing about 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: this matchup is that it's in Pittsburgh, and so we 123 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: can try to play up this. Rogers faces his former team, 124 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 3: faces his former head coach. I think that there's something there, 125 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 3: but again, it's Rogers played mostly with Mike McCarthy, so 126 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: there's that aspect of it. It would be completely different 127 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 3: if this game was in Green Bay, and I'd be 128 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: curious to see the reception that Rogers got. I think 129 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: that was loved more than Rogers was, but when Farv 130 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: did leave for Minnesota, that was something that certain Packer 131 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: fans couldn't get over. At that time, Rogers playing for 132 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: the Jets and then the Steelers doesn't interfere with the 133 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: Packers world in a way, but going to the hated 134 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 3: rival of Minnesota, when many Packer fans stuck with stuck 135 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: with Farv when he went to the Jets. I know 136 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: I've told this story before on this show, but the 137 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: CBS affiliate in Milwaukee requested that they air they get 138 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: the Jets games to air in their market because they 139 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: had the AFC package. It was before Fox and CBS 140 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: could exchange AFC and NFC games, when CBS was basically 141 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: the home of the AFC. The market in Milwaukee asked 142 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: to carry Jets games when FAV was in New York 143 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 3: because there was a contingent of fans that wanted to 144 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: watch Farv. I don't think that happened with Aaron Rodgers 145 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 3: so and also because this is happening again that there's 146 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: another quarterback. So while far like burned Bridges by going 147 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: to Minnesota, I don't think that he was as loved 148 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: as FARVZ. But I do think there will be a 149 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: day where Aaron Rodgers will get his day in the 150 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: sun in Green Bay again. 151 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: You know, there is another side to it being in Pittsburgh. 152 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: It does feel very un Pittsburgh like though, to have 153 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers be their quarterback. And look, I can't tell 154 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 2: you that I've studied Pittsburgh Steeler history or Pittsburgh Steeler lore, right, 155 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: it's really interesting on how nobody mentions the Bubby Bridsters 156 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: of the world, the Cordell Stewart. So this role win 157 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: Slash was their guy. They went to Tommy Maddox and tried 158 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 2: to spread it out and ran Tommy Gunn the offense whatever. 159 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: But the Steelers. For the Steelers to take on somebody 160 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: else's legend, right is it's just not Steeler like. And 161 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: I know they did it last year with Russell Wilson 162 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: as well. This is a very different way for the 163 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: Steelers to do business. Their two Super Bowl winning quarterbacks 164 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: were drafted by the Steelers and played for the Steelers. 165 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: Roethlisberger never played for anybody else. So it does it 166 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: feels like a brave new world for the Steelers, whereas 167 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: the Packers have actually been through this before. And then 168 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: I also think and you brought up the time, will 169 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: it's the old time? Will heal all old wounds? This 170 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: is a lot like a divorce right where they're each 171 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: dating somebody else now and the Packers like, yeah, we're good, 172 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 2: we have Jordan Love, we love Jordan Love. Right, their 173 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: relationship was sort of complicated when they got them, and 174 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: now it's kind of worked out. But I'm sure there's 175 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 2: anybody who watches, and I know this from so many everybody, 176 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: here's a Packer fan is the hey, I love Jordan 177 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: love the person like he's easy, he's not. There's not 178 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 2: as much Aaron can be hard, but he's not not 179 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: as good as Aaron Rodgers or nor has he been 180 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: even close to Aaron Rodgers when Aaron was twenty seven, 181 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: Like not close? And then you know, and then I 182 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 2: think Packers fans who would be jealous or sit there 183 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: and go like, hey, look at who Aaron Rodgers dated 184 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 2: for two years, dated the Jets for two years. Now 185 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: with the Steelers, it's like it feels like the Packers 186 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: dated somebody half their half the age of their last spouse, 187 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers went with somebody his own age. Doesn't 188 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: it like the Steelers are kind of traditional, and you 189 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: know they're they're I think they're playing up his experience, 190 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 2: They're using it, they're leaning on it. It does feel 191 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 2: like he's dated somebody sort of his own age after 192 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: trying to date somebody wild post divorce, and the Green 193 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: Bay Packers have have taken on somebody young, stable and 194 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: kind of trying to mold them into the in the 195 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 2: significant other that they want Jordan Love to be. That's, 196 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: by the way, my most Colhurdian parallel that I could 197 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: I could find. 198 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: I'll tell you talk you talk about dating Doug. It 199 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 3: is interesting because when you compare Farv Love by Wisconsin 200 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 3: people during his time there and Rogers Love. You know, 201 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 3: Farv and his wife Deanna were very visible, and Deanna's 202 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 3: battle through cancer made far you know, even more relatable, 203 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 3: and so she was a part of the fabric of 204 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 3: the community. What's interesting is Rogers had celebrity relationships in 205 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: the smallest market that there is. But when even when 206 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: when Rogers was leaving Green Bay, you would hear conversations 207 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 3: of places that Rogers would go, Rogers would eat, and 208 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: no one had a bad thing to say about him. 209 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: So those direct one on one conversations or the places 210 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: that he would go locally. There was nothing negative ever 211 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: said about Aaron Rodgers. But it's funny on just on 212 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 3: how their how their lives were viewed, because I think 213 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: Brett favre Rogers California kid, right, kid from cal West 214 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: Coast comes to Green Bay. Farv's the old Mississippi bumpkin, 215 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: you know, coming up north. Loves to hunt and fish 216 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: and do that stuff, which a lot of people like 217 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 3: to do in that area, you know, a little bit 218 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: more relatable. I don't know. They love them just the same, 219 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: but they the Packer fans loved them both for a 220 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: variety of different reasons, and the different reasons that they 221 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: had were interesting when you compare one to the other 222 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 3: as well. 223 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: You some of the Aaron Rodgers recent stuff wears the out. 224 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: You're rooting for Rogers. You're rooting for the Packers in 225 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: a game in which you have no you have no 226 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: real rooting interest. 227 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 3: Who am I rooting for Steelers helps the Seahawks? 228 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, that's an out of the way that I 229 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: never even thought of. That angle it, Jay, dude, You 230 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 2: love you love stories like this more than the actual 231 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: games itself, right, that's like one of the things you love. 232 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 2: We love our jobs. You love storylines. What's the better 233 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: story Packers housing the Steelers, Steelers being the Packers. 234 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 4: Let's be clear, I love my job. I don't want 235 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 4: Shapiro to think I don't love my job. 236 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 3: I do. 237 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 4: I really love storylines, and I like Aaron Rodgers. I've 238 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: always said this. In ten fifteen years, I think we're 239 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 4: going to look back on Aaron Rodgers, especially how things 240 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 4: are playing out with everything that's come out about COVID 241 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 4: and everything else. We're going to look back and be 242 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 4: like we were damn foolish for not taking advantage of 243 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 4: a quarterback playing at this highest level, being the best 244 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 4: and the most popular sport in the country, who would 245 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 4: speak his mind, wouldn't speak in cliches, would speak his 246 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 4: mind and say interesting things. You might not agree with everything, 247 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 4: but he says thought provoking things. So every time he 248 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 4: takes the field, I root for him to win, and 249 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 4: I root for him to win the Super Bowl. If 250 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 4: the Chargers aren't in the Super Bowl, I want I 251 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 4: want Aaron Rodgers. 252 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: To I'm rooting for the Steelers. I'll tell you why 253 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: in a second. The only thing I will push back 254 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: on Jase to is the lying about the when he 255 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: said he was they say he was inoculated him with 256 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: the immunized. Immunized. That killed everything that you said, because 257 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: his whole thing was he wanted to speak the truth, 258 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: and then in his moment where he could have stood 259 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: up and said no, I got a different treatment, I 260 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: chose not to. He lied about it, and then since 261 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: then he's been digging out. I actually agree with you 262 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 2: on all the other stuff he's. 263 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: I think he's been in the forefront of everything. I 264 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: don't think we're going to miss anything. I don't think 265 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: I think we've almost overcovered Aaron Rodgers at times. 266 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: I just think in regards to what Jason said, which 267 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: is a quarterback who's an MVP of the league that's 268 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: willing to actually speak their mind in this world of 269 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 2: the cliches. Jason has told everybody on air off air 270 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: that on his tombstone he wants he searched for the 271 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: opposite of whatever BS is. And that's why, like Saron Rodgers, right, 272 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: my point is that sounds great that he's the one 273 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: guy that's not full of it, except for in the 274 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: one time when he had a chance to stand up 275 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: for something that he purports to believe in. He did 276 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: not stand up for the thing he poor ports to 277 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: believe in. Instead, he was full of it. There's the rub. 278 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: I still want to Aron Rodgers to win. I just 279 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: want to Ar Rodgers to win because anybody who's ever 280 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: left somewhere wants to beat the place they left, even 281 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: if the other place didn't do them wrong. Right, Like 282 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: I got in trouble at Notre Dame. I almost went 283 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: to Marquette just because they played Notre Dame every year. 284 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: Why because I'm just a competitive jerk that way, And 285 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: I want to beat the team that I had to leave, right, 286 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: And you're when you leave ESPN to being there for 287 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: a decade like I want to. I like mopping the 288 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: floor with them and the downfall of their radio network 289 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: and the rise of ours. Great. They did nothing wrong. 290 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: They offered me a five year contract. I walked away. 291 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: It's fine, good people. There doesn't change for Aaron Rodgers. 292 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: I don't think he was in the right. I don't 293 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: think he was crazily in the wrong. Think he overreacted 294 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: to them drafting a quarterback. But whatever, Just the way 295 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 2: my mentality works, Like yeah, I'd kind of like him, 296 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: stick it to the man if you will, even if 297 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: all told like the Packers win. Think the Packers could 298 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: be a super Bowl team. At least they look like 299 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: it early in the season. 300 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 6: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 301 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 6: the nation.

Just I 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 7: think we need to look bigger through the spectrum of 328 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 7: who is actually executing this. So if we get prop 329 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 7: bets that are eliminated in regulated markets here on shore, 330 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 7: what do you think the mob's gonna stop, you know, 331 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 7: trying to cheat? Like they're just going to go to 332 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 7: the offshore, unregulated markets where there is very little to 333 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 7: no oversight and all of the security cameras are going 334 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 7: to be looking the other way. So the regulated markets, 335 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 7: although we do get bad actors sometimes that do bad 336 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 7: actor things, they are in place and they are actually 337 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 7: working appropriately. Because that's how we caught this, you know 338 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 7: syndicate going through this very you know intricate web of 339 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 7: of of teams and players and bets and the system 340 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 7: worked properly. The question I have, and this is gonna 341 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 7: be the question I think we're gonna have to ask 342 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 7: going forward. The NBA investigated Terry Rozier and cleared him, 343 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 7: and the FBI said not so fast. So what did 344 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 7: the NBA not find or what did they find and 345 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 7: decide not to go after? That? To me is the 346 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 7: next step of this Because if the NBA says, ah, Rogier, 347 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 7: you're good, and then the FBI has hard evidence that 348 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 7: says no, you're not, I think that's the next level 349 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 7: that I'm very interested to see how it plays out. 350 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinatings Doug Gottlieb Show here on 351 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Tray, let's get some of these games from 352 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: this upcoming weekend. Okay Ole, Miss Oklahoma. I just that 353 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: one now, all of a sudden, I don't know if 354 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: you've seen the news. Lane Kiffen reportedly offered nearly one 355 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars to be the head coach of Florida, right, 356 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: So you got to deal with that as some form 357 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: of distraction. Oklahoma bounced back from the Texas loss to 358 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: the big win. They're five and a half point favorites 359 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 2: at home against the Reps. 360 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, you look at this game and 361 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 7: if you just ignore the point spread and you say, oh, 362 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 7: Ole Miss is the higher ranked team, they should win. Well, 363 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 7: the point spread says Oklahoma is favored by more than 364 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 7: a field goal. So this is one of those scenarios 365 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 7: where the rankings you kind of throw them out and 366 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 7: you just look at each team objectively. Ole Miss last 367 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 7: week their defense was on the field for almost the 368 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,239 Speaker 7: entire game, and that's twofold. Hey, their defense struggles at 369 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 7: times to stop the run, and also their offense moves 370 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 7: so quickly that it doesn't give their defense a whole 371 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 7: lot of time to rest. And I think that's an 372 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 7: issue here in this game because Oklahoma's defense, right, I 373 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 7: think it's a chess match right between Lane and Brent Venables. 374 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 7: Those are both top of class in terms of coaching 375 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 7: their respective sides of the ball. Laye on offense, Brent 376 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 7: on defense, and Oklahoma's defense is number one in a 377 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 7: lot of metrics, especially overall defense and pressure rate. So 378 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 7: I think that matchup is kind of a wash. I 379 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 7: think Lane will drow up some fun stuff that will 380 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 7: maybe put Oklahoma back on its heals a little bit. 381 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 7: But the problem is they run so fast and they're 382 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 7: unable to sustain drives that the Omas defense is kind 383 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 7: of left out to dry a little bit. And that's 384 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 7: where I think Ben Arbuckle, Oklahoma offensive coordinator, probably is 385 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 7: gonna get more out of his running game. 386 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 3: Here. 387 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 7: You would expect John Mattier to be a little bit healthier, 388 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 7: and I think that's kind of the bet here. I 389 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 7: like Oklahoma in the game, and I think if John 390 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 7: mattierrighty came back against Texas, didn't look good, played a 391 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 7: little bit better last week against South Carolina, but now 392 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 7: you would expect three weeks back from that thumb injury, 393 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 7: hopefully he gets a little more accuracy and a little 394 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 7: more consistency, and if his legs continue to be a factor. 395 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 7: I loved what I saw from Oklahoma's traditional run game 396 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 7: last week. They've got a freshman Tory Blaylock, and another youngsters, 397 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 7: Avia Robinson. They both had good games and you throw 398 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 7: mateer back into the mix, like I think, Oklahoma, this 399 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 7: could be one of those games where Ole miss right. 400 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 7: You've got the Florida story hanging over Lane's head. You 401 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 7: got Oklahoma looks like a contender and Materier maybe a 402 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 7: Heisman contender. And I think Oklahoma gets this win at. 403 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 2: Home Bama taken on South Carolina. Bama has been going 404 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 2: through this kind of murderers row. South Carolina just got 405 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: stopped by by OU at home. Spreeds eleven and a 406 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: half totals forty seven and a half. 407 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, usually I stay away from double digit favorites in 408 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 7: the SEC. Last year they went six and twenty four 409 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 7: against the spread. I mean it's awful, Like, it's just 410 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 7: it's hard to win with margin in this conference, Doug, 411 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 7: and I think it's two reasons. Ay, you know, the 412 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 7: athletes are all comparable, so there's not as big of 413 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 7: a gap between the haves and the have nots, like 414 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 7: when the SEC plays a ACC team or a team 415 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 7: from a lower a Group of five conference. And another reason, 416 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 7: I just I think the clock, right, I mean, you know, 417 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 7: you get these new clock rules where the you know 418 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 7: it's not stopping every first down. It's just harder to 419 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 7: win by double digits. How much life the South Carolina 420 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 7: have left? Right, they're kind of on the last legs 421 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 7: with their coach as well. I don't love what I've 422 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 7: seen from their defense all year. I think Sellers has 423 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 7: been a not a bust, but he's definitely underachieved the expectation. 424 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 7: And Alabama listen, the Florida State games funky, but they've 425 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 7: got the best resume in the country. They've got four 426 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 7: wins against current ranked teams. No other team in the 427 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 7: country has more than two. So I think BAM is 428 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 7: the real deal. And they get kind of a breather 429 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 7: this week. Does that mean they cover, Maybe, but I 430 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 7: definitely think they win this game. 431 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 2: A and M LSU LSU hanging on by a threat 432 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 2: of their playoff hopes. This one's under lights in Baton 433 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: Rouge and the Tigers are two and a half point 434 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: dog at home. 435 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, they're kind of begging you to lay it on 436 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 7: the road. With A and M right undefeated team. They 437 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 7: look like a juggernaut at least on both sides of 438 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 7: the ball. Very dynamic run game. The one thing I 439 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 7: did and I did a film study on A and 440 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 7: M's offense this week against his LSU defense, a lot 441 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 7: of eye candy. All of their backs are capable to 442 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 7: catch the ball out of the backfield. Marcel Reads a 443 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 7: dual threat, so you don't know if they're running it 444 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 7: or throwing it. They run a lot of twenty one personnel. 445 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 7: What's that two running backs, one tight end. And when 446 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 7: you got two running backs in the backfield, you got 447 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 7: play action going one way, you got another running back 448 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 7: coming out of the backfield going the other way, and 449 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 7: you got Reed who can throw it out of the 450 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 7: RPO game Like, It's just you need to have incredible 451 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 7: eye discipline as a linebacker in order to defend that. Well, 452 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 7: here's the problem. LSU's best linebacker, whit Weeks, isn't gonna 453 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 7: play and overall Blake Baker's scheme could be very chaotic, 454 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 7: but they also get out of their run lanes often 455 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 7: because their linebackers don't have the greatest eye discipline. So 456 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 7: I do think A and M's offense is gonna have 457 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 7: success in this game. Now, on the other side of 458 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 7: the ball, LSU's kind of in that desperation spot. I 459 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 7: need to see more from Garrett Nussmeyer one out of 460 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 7: sixteen this year on throws twenty five or more yards downfield. 461 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 7: Coming into the year, he was supposed to be a 462 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 7: Heisman candidate. They need a big ana him. He got 463 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 7: back on track a little bit last week against South Carolina. 464 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 7: Unlike the lang Kiffin situation, I don't think Brian Kelly's 465 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 7: going anywhere at LSU, and I think he pulls a 466 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 7: rabbit out of his hat night game death Valley. It 467 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 7: feels like a good spot to buy low on LSU. 468 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 7: How often are they a dog at home against a 469 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 7: team that is still unproven? Right, they're one road game 470 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 7: for A and M. Or actually they play two road 471 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 7: games this year at Notre Dame shootout back and forth 472 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 7: could have gone either way, high scoring game, same thing 473 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 7: with Arkansas last week. They didn't cover the spread. So 474 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 7: my gut says A and M's the better team, but 475 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 7: my brain says LSU at home, the numbers kind of 476 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 7: dangling around the field goal, I probably would take the points. 477 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: Vanderbilt fresh off of beating LSU and Missouri fresh off 478 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: of beaten Auburn on the road in double overtime. Game 479 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 2: is in nash Vegas. The doors are their three point favorite. 480 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: Totals fifty two and a half. 481 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 7: I think these are very similar teams. I think one 482 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 7: of these teams is going to make the College Fotball Playoff. 483 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 7: It's probably gonna be the winner. Of this one. I 484 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 7: like the fact that both teams are run first. I 485 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 7: like the fact that both teams are good on late downs. 486 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 7: They have a little bit of clutchness to them, especially 487 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 7: Vandy Diego Pavia. We've talked about him before, like he's 488 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 7: my favorite quarterback in college football right now. He's not 489 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 7: gonna play in the NFL, but he is certainly one 490 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 7: of those elite, gritty college quarterbacks that just makes instinctual plays, 491 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 7: especially with his legs. Missouri's played some tough qbs though, 492 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 7: right defensively, Daniels Jackson, Arnold, Lonaros Sellers, those are all 493 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 7: guys that are big, strong, who can run, and I 494 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 7: don't necessarily think they're gonna be afraid of this Vandy offense. 495 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 7: I think, actually, if there's a strength of Missouri's team, 496 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 7: it's their front seven. We talked about him a couple 497 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 7: weeks ago when they played Bama. This front seven can 498 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 7: shut you down. And that's what scares me a little 499 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 7: bit about Vandy's. Right, they run a lot of that 500 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 7: A and M type stuff where it's a lot of 501 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 7: eye candy, a lot of quarterback power and counter and 502 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 7: all these movement moving parts up front. Vandy can be 503 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 7: a little sloppy with penalties. I think Missoo plays cleaner. 504 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 7: The big edge that I see here is I don't 505 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 7: think Vandy's run defense is as buttoned up as some 506 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 7: of the numbers indicate. They have not played a team, 507 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 7: frankly who commits to the run and who has a 508 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 7: dangerous running game. The one team that even comes close 509 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 7: was Bama, but jam Miller got hurt in midway through 510 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 7: the game and Bama had a lead, so they were 511 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 7: kind of throttling down. I think Missouri goes into Nashville 512 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,719 Speaker 7: and gets this win. 513 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 2: Doug Wow, Well listen, Jered, you're the best man, and 514 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: by the way, you look good on TV.

Probably most importantly, not probably, is the World 571 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: Series and things that resonate with that. Let's get you 572 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: to Dan Byer and get to the press. 573 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 3: All right, Doug. The NFL has laid down the law 574 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 3: with the New York Giants. They were fined two hundred 575 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: thousand dollars for violating the NFL's concussion protocol in their 576 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: Week six matchup with the Eagles. Not only that, head 577 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 3: coach Brian Daboll was docked one hundred thousand dollars for 578 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 3: going into the blue tent when Jackson Dart was being 579 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: reviewed for that concussion. Cam Skataboo, the rookie running running back, 580 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 3: also popped his head into the blue tent at one 581 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: time he got fined fifteen grand. 582 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like he's fine, he's fine, he's fine. Can 583 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 2: we hurry up? He's fine, he's fine, he's fine. You know, 584 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: a lot of this is about optics more than a reality, 585 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 2: and the NFL has to look like they and I 586 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: do think they care. I think this is one of 587 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: those Hey, you want to spend you want to spend 588 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: just sneezing. You want to spend an extra couple of 589 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 2: minutes to make sure and in the heat, I can 590 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: tell you, like, it's really really hard during game. I'll 591 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 2: give you it happened to me three times last year, 592 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: actually four where I had a player Anthony Roy obviously 593 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: broke his ankle. He's leading the country scoring in Santa Barbara. 594 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 2: But you know, and we've actually had to establish here's 595 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 2: how we're doing it. Because we're playing Providence. It's a 596 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: two point game and Marcus Hall rolls his ankle and 597 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: you know, to get it checked out, they leave the floor, right. 598 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: So I'm like trying to get information. Somebody find the trainer. 599 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 2: Everybody else is so into the game. I just need 600 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 2: somebody to update me. Is he, how hurt is he? 601 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 2: Is he coming back? When is he coming back? What 602 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 2: is the status going to be when he returns? All 603 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: of those things. So I will give day Ball a 604 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 2: pass because having been in that situation, just the lack 605 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 2: of Hey, I don't know, he's going to the tent 606 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: and I think he's fine, and I just is he 607 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: coming back or not? And I'm sure the whole time 608 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: Dart is sitting there going like, I'm fine. But this 609 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 2: is the way it rolls. Two hundred thousand steep, you know, 610 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, how much the giants make. 611 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 2: It's not but that's a lot of money. 612 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: Well, Dabo getting one hundred grand he got, oh yeah, 613 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 3: a six figure fine for his role, all right? And 614 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 3: one other NFL story before we get to a week 615 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 3: eight and who's in and who's out. The new list 616 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: of Hall of Fame candidates from the Contributor class includes 617 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 3: Patriots owner Robert Kraft and late broadcaster Howard Cosell. Now, 618 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 3: a maximum of one candidate from the list of now 619 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 3: twenty one will be eligible for possible in Shriman. Could 620 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 3: be a case where nobody gets him, but Cosell's on 621 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 3: the list. As is Bob Kraft. Also a couple of 622 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 3: other notables. Former Raiders executive Amy Trask is one of 623 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 3: the twenty one names still on the list, and the 624 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 3: late voice of NFL Films John Facenda as well. 625 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how well Howard Cosell's not 626 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. 627 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, that's what I. 628 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: Thought, as well, this is Howard. Did you know that? 629 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 2: I there's a video. I gotta call my mom. She 630 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: has a VHS tape. I had a fifth grade presentation 631 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 2: mister mcfann's class, and I did it the whole thing 632 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: with a where I was imitating Howard Cosell. I was 633 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 2: following myself around with a camp quda in Orange, California 634 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 2: as Howard Cosell. That's what. There's a video somewhere that 635 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 2: that exists. The crazy thing was at that point in time, 636 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if Howard Cosell was still doing Monday 637 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 2: Night Football. I don't think he was. And it was 638 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 2: like a dated reference for fifth grade for my fifth 639 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 2: grade class, because you know, most fifth graders at that 640 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 2: point they didn't watch Monday Night Football. They definitely didn't 641 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 2: know who Dandy Don Meredith was. That was before our 642 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: time I did. That's the kind of household I grew up. 643 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 3: One of my favorite things when we watched Monday night football, 644 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 3: at least in our era, was Frank Gifford would start 645 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 3: the broadcast, but he would throw it to play by 646 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 3: play guy Al Michaels. 647 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be. 648 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 3: You know, hello, everybody, Hello, I'm in Cleveland. That's my 649 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 3: Keith Jackson. But it's kind of it's actually Frank Gifford 650 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 3: because he still had that sort of voice. But the 651 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 3: point being Al Michaels, the actual play by play guy 652 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 3: would slide in and then at the end you would 653 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 3: get Dan Dierdorf, Frank Allen Dan. That's why Frank got 654 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: top Bill. 655 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 2: And Deardorf was he was kind of third wheel on 656 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: that thing. 657 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 3: Yes, Jet, said coach Aaron Glenn still refused to name 658 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 3: a starting quarterback for their Week eight matchup in Cincinnati, 659 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 3: something we talked about a little bit earlier. It'll either 660 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 3: be justin Fields or to Rod Taylor starting Sunday with 661 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 3: Taylor nursing that knee injury. 662 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it feels like everybody wants it to 663 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 2: be to Rod Taylor because he gives you hope to 664 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 2: win right away. But they're they're you know, you're paying 665 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 2: another guy forty million dollars over two years. I don't know. 666 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 2: I don't know how you throw a quarterback out there though, 667 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 2: where the owner says, if we could just complete a pass, 668 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 2: that's what he said, if we could just complete a pass. 669 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. 670 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 2: How do you come back from that one? 671 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, no you can't. Justin Fields has tried to come 672 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 3: back from a lot of criticism. But that's a tough one. 673 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 3: I will say maybe Woody Johnson's ownership style over the 674 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 3: last couple of years maybe takes a little bit off 675 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 3: of the sting because the Jets have been in absolute mess. 676 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 3: One other story before we go, John Harbaugh's job status 677 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 3: has been put into under the microscope. I guess we 678 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 3: could say as the Ravens are are off to an 679 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 3: extremely slow start this season, but it looks like they're 680 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 3: going to get Lamar Jackson back. He practiced fully on Friday. 681 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 3: Harbaugh did say today that Tyler Huntley would be the 682 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 3: starting quarterback if Jackson couldn't go, but Huntley would be 683 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: the backup as they face the Bears on Sunday. If 684 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 3: Jackson starts Ravens obviously one in five. 685 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 2: I mean, there's not legitimacy to his job being on 686 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: the line, is there. I mean, I guess, I guess 687 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 2: it's the idea that at some point everybody's message runs stale. 688 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 2: But I mean, since twenty eighteen, only the COVID year, 689 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 2: have they not won ten games. 690 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 3: I didn't say on the line, I said under the microscope. No. 691 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 2: But one of the reasons is. 692 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 3: But one of the reasons is is this team turned 693 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 3: to Cooper Rush over and they were completely overwhelmed. And 694 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 3: we had seen Tyler Huntley previously fill in for Lamar 695 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 3: Jackson and do decent at times, and so now they're 696 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 3: going back to Tyler Huntley as the backup. As the 697 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 3: Cooper Rush experiment, at least in Baltimore may have worked 698 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 3: in Dallas, didn't work in b More. 699 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's And I also, I'm may be wrong, 700 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 2: but didn't they acquire Snoop Huntley like right when Lamar 701 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 2: went down, like it wasn't like he was with the Ravens, 702 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 2: and then they chose Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush was the backup. 703 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: Lamar goes down, they go to Cooper Rush. 704 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 3: Shnoop Puntley spent time with the Browns in training camp. However, 705 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 3: there was the decision that Cooper Rush was the backup 706 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 3: to Lamar for this season. So it was just their 707 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: decision on Cooper Rush. 708 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, you're you're gonna miss some And 709 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 2: it is weird that they didn't turn the snoop hunt 710 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 2: Ley when he had been so good as a backup before. 711 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 2: But you know, in the we don't have to be 712 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 2: all results oriented. But when you've won ten, fourteen, eleven, 713 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 2: ten thirteen, twelve, and the only exception of a below 714 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 2: five hundred year was that that COVID year, which was 715 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 2: weird and wonkey for everybody, obviously this year is bad. 716 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 2: But I mean it's it's not like it had been 717 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 2: trending this way. I have been trending this way at all. 718 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 2: I've been traded this way. And that is that's press. 719 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 2: All right, that's it for the press. Obviously you got picks, 720 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 2: you got previews. Look, I know that Jase dou has 721 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 2: so much invested in this in this uh, the Dodgers, 722 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 2: I do think that this is a team. It's a 723 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 2: big market team. They pay a lot of money. I'm 724 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 2: talking about the Blue Jays, so it's not David versus Goliath, 725 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 2: but the perception is always going to be that the 726 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 2: Dodgers are, in fact David. 727 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. 728 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 2: You lose your top setup man when your bullpen has 729 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 2: been called into question. I don't love it. I do 730 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 2: still think that Dodgers find a way, and I am 731 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 2: really excited to watch this World Series because I'd like 732 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 2: to have a dominant team. I'd like to have the 733 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 2: Dodgers win it again back to back because then it 734 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: makes kind of what we've had in football, kind of 735 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 2: what we've had in basketball. You have to have one 736 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 2: of those top teams to have a David for other 737 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 2: teams to take shots at them in future years.
