Come to your 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: line from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas. 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: We'll take you up to three am Pacific, six am Eastern, 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: And as usual, even though I've only got four hours, 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: I've got about six hours a material. 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: Will try to get to it all. 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: Actually probably seven hours thanks to that load in the shorts. 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin, who if. 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: You don't know by now, Lane Kiffin has a very 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: well documented history of abrupt departures, controversial departures from several 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: high profile coaching jobs. This may be the cherriot on 14 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 2: the cake. I mean, this is so stupid. We're gonna 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: get to it later. I'll gave you a chronology. He 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: obviously has a reputation for messy innings and he is 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: doing nothing right now to change that. But I digress. 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: I wanted to get to what should have been the 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 2: biggest news of the day. And if you happen to 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: watch the Michigan Ohio State game today, it is the 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: greatest rivalry in all the sports. 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 3: It covered fourteen of him. 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: It started out as a land war in the eighteen hundreds, 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: So think what you want, but as you know, I 25 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: look for turning points of the game. And with about 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: six minutes to go in the first quarter there I 27 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: don't know, Michigan was. 28 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 3: Leading six to nothing. 29 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: Ohio State's Bo Jackson took a little swing pass, turned 30 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: the corner and he pulled the old whipny n stanky 31 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: leg on Michigan's Jimmy Rolder and left his jock back 32 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: in Ipsilanti. And from that point forward, because I was 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: on with Aaron and Jason Icebeak, I said, look, Michigan 34 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: just will not be able to match Ohio. 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: State skill this week. And they didn't. 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: And anybody who thought Ohio State wasn't physical when now 37 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: you're being silly. 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: I'll have some have some stats for you here. But 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: I think. 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: Collectively you all can say your apologies to Ryan Day now. 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: I mean I have never He's been beaten like a 42 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: rented mule basically since he took over for well, he 43 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: didn't take over what he followed Erwin Meyer, let's face it, okay, 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: And then heading into this season, even though he won 45 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: the national championship, certain people who want to give him 46 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: props because he didn't beat Michigan, which I get, I 47 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: get if you want to go. 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: Down that road. 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: And by the way, heading into this season, what if 50 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: I told you Ohio State lost eight. 51 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: Players to the NFL. 52 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: They lost their entire defensive line and both coordinators. But 53 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: since losing to Michigan last year on November thirtieth, Ryan 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: Day is now sixteen to zero, including wins over number 55 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 2: seven Tennessee, number one Texas, number three, Penn State, number. 56 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: Five Notre Dame. In the playoffs last year by. 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: Accumulative sixty points, they beat number one Oregon. Listen, this 58 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: is a team at Texas Texas week one who is 59 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: preseason number one And if you're scoring at home and 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: hope you are. Ryan Day is now two and four 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: versus Michigan. Won a national championship in his fifth year. 62 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: Remember Jimmy Harball, Jimmy Joseph Harrball. He actually started out 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: zero to five against Ohio State. But those same people 64 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: that would put Harball and deify him, and no doubt 65 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 2: he's a Hall of Fame coach, no argument. You want 66 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: to treat Ryan Day like a bastard child. Harball won 67 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: a Nation Natty in his eighth year. Day one in 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: his fifth So back to that physical part. Yeah, Ohio 69 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: State out gained Michigan today four hundred and nineteen yards 70 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: to one sixty three. Just the facts, man, you don't 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: like him, not my problem. Title possession forty minutes to. 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: Nineteen minutes and fifty nine seconds. 73 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: And I we're gonna get into the Brice one Underwood 74 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: thing a little bit later because I like price owners 75 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: under what. 76 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: I like the way he carries himself. 77 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: I think he's got a lot of ability, but I 78 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: don't see twelve million bucks yet. And I saw a 79 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: lot of air and throws today that were late, not 80 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: on time, not on target, And maybe that's why Ohio 81 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: State had twenty two first downs to Michigan's nine. And 82 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: oh yeah, Michigan only had negative eight rushing yards in 83 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: the second half. But give Michigan credit. Their best defensive 84 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: stand was at the end of the game when they 85 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: all stood by the block in at midfield and formed 86 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: a blockade as if Ohio State was going to try 87 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: to plant their flag. The classless move Michigan poll last year, 88 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: I could say this. 89 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: I lived there. 90 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 2: I lived in that area for seventeen years, covered that 91 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: team for fourteen years. Among the Lions and other teams. 92 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: My dear Martha went to the University of Michigan. It's 93 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: a dignified institution, a wonderful institution, but they didn't show 94 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: it Saturday. They made asses of themselves. Ryan Days told 95 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: Sherwan Moore alike. He says, we don't want a problem here. 96 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: You better get your players off the field. Look, we're 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: not going to plan a flag. 98 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 3: We I got to do that. My god, what the 99 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: hell was that about? 100 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: That tarnished a situation that he's really majestic. And that's 101 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: the oh House State Michigan football game. And I gotta 102 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: tell you, be very afraid this Ohio State team's loader. 103 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 2: I know Michigan's young. They get to go to Columbus 104 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: last year. Next year, so we'll see what happens next year. 105 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: But for the first time in twenty ninety one days 106 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,119 Speaker 2: since before the introduction of nil the transfer portal, well 107 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff, the Buckeyes again beat beat Michigan 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: down and give high props, high praise to Charles Woodson, 109 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: who was very classy after the game. He said, look, 110 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: they came in here and took care of business. They 111 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: beat us every which way. But Tuesday, when the line 112 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: of scrimmage won everything and Ryan Dave finally gets the 113 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: monkey off his back, and let's not forget after that. 114 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: Before that, Ohio stated won like seven in a row, 115 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: and it always goes back and forth. It goes back 116 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: to eighteen ninety seven. So now Michigan's had their little run. 117 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: They celebrate a little bit too much, and Michigan's got 118 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: a talent disparity. We'll see what happens next year. But look, 119 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, until coach Day can 120 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: reel off more victories against Michigan, he's record against the 121 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: team up north, and images of his frozen posture following 122 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: that twenty twenty four meltdown is going to continue to circulate. 123 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 3: That's just the way the world works. People love to. 124 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: Dunk on each other, But the truth of the matter is, 125 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: you know, Ryan Day has the last laugh. Saturday, his 126 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: rebuilt offensive line completely dominated the line of scrimmage. They 127 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: gave Julian Saying plenty of time and there were tremendous 128 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 2: rushing layans for Bo Jackson, who had one hundred and 129 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: seventeen yards. The defense was physical at the point of 130 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: the attack. Very much did bother Bryce Underwood enough to 131 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 2: hold the Wolverines. Bryce underwent through for sixty three yards. Now, 132 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, but David Warren, the starting quarterback 133 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: from Michigan last year, through for sixty two yards. So 134 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: for twelve million, you get one more yard. Got I'm 135 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: starting to wonder is he being developed properly at Michigan. 136 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of progression from week one 137 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: to what I saw Saturday. I'm sorry, and I saw it. 138 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 2: I see with arch Manning, see what look at Julian 139 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: saying he's a freshman too. So the truth of the 140 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: matter is for one day, Ohio State, you don't how 141 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: the scene works. It's they get to gloat for a year. 142 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: And I listen, I don't know who's going to beat them. 143 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: They may win back to back national champions championships. 144 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: We'll see. 145 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: If they do that, that'd be twenty one wins in 146 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: a row. And that's the second big takeaway from Saturday, 147 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: Julian saying completely outplayed Bryce went Underwood in the matchup 148 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: of the first year starting quarterbacks. And I could give 149 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: a bunch of numbers, but you saw it. 150 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: Trust your rights. 151 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: They tell you a lot, you know, Will Howard. People 152 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: made fun of him last year, but he still has 153 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: a national championship. But all week, fans and media members 154 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: wondered if Jeremiah Smith and Cardinal Tate would be available 155 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: after they didn't play against Wreckers. Smith had really looked 156 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: like himself for about three or four weeks. Tate hadn't 157 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: even played in the games since beating the Penn State 158 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: back on November first. But they were there Saturday, and 159 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: they showed up and showed out big time. And last 160 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: thing I'll say about the game, you know you were 161 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: one of these people. 162 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 3: Okay, there was an early first of all, Michigan busts 163 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: a run. 164 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: You know, first play of the game, they'd taken ready 165 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: to field Grange and gets stuffed in the red zone. 166 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: But they're up three to nothing. They're off first blood. 167 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: Then Julian's saying throws a pick, and you know you 168 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: were saying, here you go. It got I was one 169 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: of them. That's my buddy, Arnie Spaniard. I called him 170 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 2: and said, I'm not backing off. Ohio State's gonna come 171 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: back and roll them. Just wait till they get going, 172 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: and they did. Michigan tried, but they were overmatched badly. 173 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: Ohio State flipped the field and the next thing you know, 174 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 2: you know. And by the way, Jay Sean Barklem is 175 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: a good player. He got kicked out of the Mexico 176 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: game for targeting a new Mexico game first week of 177 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: the year. It had to sit out a week head 178 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: butts a ref. He should link think his lucky stars. 179 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 2: He was not kicked out of the game, and I'm 180 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: glad he wasn't. 181 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: You know. So at the end of the day, Ohio 182 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: States punter didn't have to take a shower. 183 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 2: Julian sand they don't really have to watch his uniform, 184 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: didn't get hurt. And give it up to Michigan kicker 185 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: Dominic Zavada. He's been struggling all year long, but he 186 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: had a very good game on Saturday. It's all Michigan 187 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: could muster. Were field goals, more field goals. When we're 188 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: ringing field goals to a touchdown fight doesn't usually work 189 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: out well. The other big takeaway, you know, Auburn didn't 190 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 2: beat Alabama. There's not a lot of other craziness. However, 191 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: if you would have told me Duke would play for 192 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 2: the ACC title next week. In football, even though the 193 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: record is seven to five. Well, does the ACC stand 194 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 2: for the All Chaos Conference? Are you kidding me? These 195 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: are the teams who won't play for the title next 196 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: week in Charlotte Louisville they're eight and four, Wake Forest 197 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: they're eight and four. SMU they're eight and four, Pitts 198 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: eight and four, Georgia Tech ninety three. And how about 199 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 2: the Miami Hurricanes ten and two. Hm, they won't play 200 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 2: for the conference title next week. It's Duke and Virginia. 201 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: Get your popcorn ready? 202 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: Uh? 203 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 2: What more can you say? The regular season was a blur? 204 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: And uh, you know Oregon they look scary. It's gonna 205 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: be a fun playoff. They went into Washington, a tough environment, 206 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: and and I know Texas is going to try to 207 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: make their case now they're being penalized for their velost 208 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: to Florida. But you know what, if they had they 209 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: give them credit, they had the coyones to schedule at 210 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: Ohio State week one. Had they not done that, you know, 211 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 2: they might be in the playoff. You know, had they 212 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: scheduled Roast Beef Tech, they'd be ten and two. Right, 213 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: But fifths and butts were candies and nuts. Well, you know, 214 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: what happens, then they're not going to take a three 215 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: loss team. They're not going to take a three loss 216 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: team in the playoffs. So Soarkisian can bitch all he wants, 217 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: But if they should have Beatlehouse State week one, I 218 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: guess it's easier said than done.

Incredible, good luck, LSU, 232 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: you already hired the most unlikable coach in the history 233 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: of coaching, Brian Kelly and now you got the second 234 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: most unlikable coach, except he might now be the. 235 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: Most unlikable coach. We'll see, by the way. I was wrong. 236 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: I thought he would stay. I was wrong. 237 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Comedy.

Did you know that forty seven 270 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: games in the National Football League this season have been 271 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: decided in the last minute with a goal ahead, score, 272 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: last mien of the game or overtime. That's the most 273 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,119 Speaker 2: ever in NFL history heading into December. 274 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 3: But I digress. 275 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: Before we look ahead, I want to look back because 276 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: all four dogs covered and one out right Thursday and Friday. 277 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 2: I just want your quick take from each game Bears Eagles. 278 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: The Bears clinched their first playoff or check that their 279 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: first winning season since twenty eighteen. What's your takeaway from 280 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: that game? 281 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 9: Well, Philly can't stop the run and they couldn't get 282 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 9: off the field on third down. Almost three hundred yards 283 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 9: rushing in ten for seven at seventeen on third down. 284 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 9: That was the difference in that one from a a 285 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 9: bear's perspective, excuse me, from a bear's perspective. And then 286 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 9: the other thing is Philadelphia they had a hangover. You know, 287 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 9: you always say the old Aders don't allow one loss 288 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 9: to beat you twice, and that's exactly what that Dallas 289 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 9: loss was. They were up twenty one to nothing in 290 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 9: the second quarter. Cowboys score with twenty one seconds remaining. 291 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 9: Think about this. The last six quarters they have thoroughly 292 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 9: been dominated and this has really put them in a 293 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 9: tough spot. Obviously the pressure of being the defending champion, 294 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 9: but you know, you see some of these things with 295 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 9: this team. We had the conversation with aj Brown earlier 296 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 9: in the season in sums that he's not happy with 297 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 9: his distribution of balls and things, and so Philadelphia better 298 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 9: find out pretty quickly if they're going to get things 299 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 9: on track. The only good thing right now, though, to me, 300 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 9: is outside of the Rams, and this applies to vote 301 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 9: the AFC and the NFC. I don't know which team 302 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 9: really could stand up and say they're going to be 303 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 9: the Super Bowl champion this year. I feel like it's 304 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 9: a wide open season and this might be a year 305 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 9: to take a look at a long shot. 306 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, man, And which is a nice segway 307 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: into the next game. 308 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: We want to talk about. 309 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: The Cowboys Chiefs. Is Casey done? And could the Cowboys 310 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: make the playoffs? 311 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 9: Well, you know, I don't want to discount Dallas. I'll 312 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 9: still have a ton of question marks about their defense. 313 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 9: But you know, confidence in anything in life is so 314 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 9: vitally important that we're seeing it with the Cowboys. That 315 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 9: win against Philadelphia really seems to propel them. In that 316 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 9: game against Kansas City to be able to hold on 317 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 9: kind of really be the forefront of that game where 318 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 9: Casey was playing from behind, makes a huge difference to me. 319 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 9: Mahomes was tremendous with four touchdown passes, but they got 320 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 9: what they needed done. They threw for over three hundred yards. 321 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 9: And I'm not going to sit there and discount Dallas 322 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 9: at this point in time. You know, they're quietly sitting 323 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 9: at six five and one. They won three in a row, 324 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 9: and they've got a tough game coming up against the Lions. 325 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 9: But the rest of the games, the Vikings, the Chargers, 326 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 9: the Commanders, and the Giants are all winnable games. I 327 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 9: definitely did not have the Cowboys would in ten games, 328 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 9: but this team is in a position where they could eat. 329 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 9: They finished the year ten six and once because I'm 330 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 9: not convincing charges of that good of a team. And 331 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 9: you know Detroit right now got some question marks about 332 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 9: them as well. 333 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't you know, that's the next game. I 334 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: want to talk about Lions Packers. I thought for sure 335 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: the Lions would pan back now, Frank Ragnow Flunx is physical. 336 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 2: The Lions have injuries all over the place, and they 337 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 2: host Dallas next week. 338 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: I still think. 339 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: Detroit and by the way, they go to the Rams 340 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 2: later in the season, they can still make the playoffs, 341 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: but right now they're on the outside looking at quickly. 342 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on Alliance? 343 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 9: They got to get better defensively. I mean, you know, 344 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 9: Green Bay moved the ball effectively in that game and 345 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 9: then they go combined nine to fifteen between third and 346 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 9: fourth downs. Just can't happen. That was the problem in 347 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 9: that football game. And they've got to force some turnovers. Elion, 348 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 9: you got to get lines, have to get better defensively. 349 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Finally, the Ravens. I think you 350 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 2: can stick a FOURK in them. 351 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: I cannot. 352 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 2: I believe, hollywe you were dominated by the Bengals Thursday night. 353 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, I don't tell you. 354 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 9: Bernie. I've met a small play this week on the 355 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 9: Bengals to win the division at twelve to one. 356 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: Why not? 357 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 9: Well, they're three and one within the division. Yeah, we's 358 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 9: got a lot of question marks. They still have a 359 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 9: return date with the Ravens, and I think they have 360 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 9: another home game with the Browns, so they could potentially 361 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 9: finish up five to one in that division. Gives them 362 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 9: a good position. And this Ravens team defensively can't stop anybody. 363 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 3: You know. 364 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 9: I was on the Jets a week ago Sunday plus fourteen. 365 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 9: I was fortunate to win that game. Could have gone 366 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 9: either way late in that one. But the one thing 367 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 9: I'm realizing is Baltimore offensively, it's just not consistent. They 368 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 9: don't have it consistently. We saw them only put up 369 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 9: fourteen against the Bengals. I'd be very concerned if I'm 370 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 9: the Ravens right there. 371 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 3: Very concerned. 372 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: And I will tell you that the Bengals really played 373 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: complimentary football. They were very energized by Joe Burrow's return. 374 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: All right, let's look ahead to later on Sunday, Buffalo 375 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: visits Pittsburgh, both teams coming off losses. Josh Allen was 376 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: sacked eight times last week committed four turnovers, but heading 377 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: into the game on all the Bills have the number 378 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: one pass defense and the Steelers ranked thirty first in 379 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: past defense, giving up two hundred and fifty eight yards 380 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: per game. Buffalo is short favorite on the road minus three. 381 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 2: Do you like a side here? 382 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 9: I would take the home dog simply because Pittsburgh seems 383 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 9: to play well in that building. They just know how 384 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 9: to get things done. And this Buffalo team defensively's got 385 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 9: a lot of concerns. You know, you take away Josh 386 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 9: Allen and James Cook, they don't have much offense, right, 387 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 9: I mean taking about this Coleman was a healthy scratch. 388 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 9: I mean everybody was hyping him up a couple years ago. 389 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 9: I was like, I don't know, I guess you guys 390 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 9: didn't watch him play at Michigan State, but hey, okay, 391 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 9: and you know, so many guys get hyped up. And 392 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 9: I'm not trying to knock him, but it just doesn't 393 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 9: seem like there's anybody else stepping up. Well, can't get 394 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 9: off the field when they need to defensively. You know, 395 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 9: home dogs in the NFL generally have a lot of value. 396 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 9: I'm a guy that college are pub favorites NFL. I'd 397 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 9: probably play about seventy seventy seventy percent underdogs. 398 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're spot on with those comments. It feels like 399 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: a Josh Allen doesn't score six touchdowns a game. They 400 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 2: struggle to find points. All right, this would be an 401 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: interesting one. Minnesota visit Seattle. I'm calling it the Sam 402 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 2: Darnold Bowl. But rookie Max Brosber I can't remember the 403 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 2: last time I quarterback from the University of Minnesota, made 404 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 2: a start in the NFL. I have to look at it. 405 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: It's not that big a deal. And that's just a 406 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 2: throwaway line. I think he's making his first start Seattle. Look, 407 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: they they have a firm grasp on the top wild 408 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: card spot. They're laying a big number. You'd never like 409 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: to lay ever, ever, ever double digits. 410 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 3: In the NFL. 411 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: But if there was ever a time, my goodness, you 412 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: might look up in this thing is thirty four to seven. 413 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 9: Your thoughts, well, first, of all, you know you mentioned 414 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 9: the University of Minnesota product there. I don't want to 415 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 9: tell you right now. I watched him play at U 416 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 9: of M. And how this guy has wound up on 417 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 9: an NFL roster. I don't know if his name got 418 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 9: pulled out of a hat or if it was. You know, 419 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 9: it was like the with Lebron James Junior. Make a 420 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 9: wish program here because there's no reason for him to 421 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 9: be in the league. I'm just being honest here. I 422 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 9: love it, I love it, but listen, DJ Plex hasn't 423 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 9: had a quarterback in forever, right. I've always said, why 424 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 9: did in Minnesota just go direct snap? They'd be able 425 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 9: to roll the boat more effectively. They just went direct 426 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 9: snap and took out the quarterbacks. But this is going 427 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 9: to be a problem. This Seattle team is very good defensively. 428 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 9: They blew that game last week in terms of a 429 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 9: large lead against Tennessee. I don't think that'll happen again here. 430 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 9: I think it's gould be a real challenge as greatest 431 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 9: justin Jefferson is. It's very difficult when the quarterback is 432 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 9: not respected in terms of the ability to kind of 433 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 9: spread the ball around. I think I think this would 434 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 9: be a tough game. Look, I'm not going to lay 435 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 9: the number here, no, but I think this is one 436 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 9: where I'm not looking to take Minnesota, even though Minnesota's 437 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 9: got some pretty good parts and pieces. Again, the quarterback 438 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 9: position has become so important in football. I got a 439 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 9: quick question for you. I don't know if you remember 440 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 9: Henry Ellenson from Marquette. He was a basketball player. 441 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 7: How Pistons took him? 442 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 9: I think the eighteens pick a few years ago. I 443 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 9: watched him at Marquette and I remember going, I'm going 444 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 9: to tell you there's few people that watch more college 445 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 9: basketball than I do, And I go, what the hell 446 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 9: do you see? This guy can't play. It was the 447 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 9: same thing with JJ McCarthy. I never saw anything a mission. 448 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 9: Go oh, that guy was the first round pick. You 449 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 9: know he wants to come to Ohio State. The Buckeyes 450 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 9: didn't recruit him, and I don't understand how when you 451 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 9: had Sam Darnold doing what he was doing last year 452 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 9: they decided to let him walk. But they say, hey, 453 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 9: listen to the handoff merchant. That looks like our guy. 454 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 9: When we have the best receiver in football. 455 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're paying for it now. Dearly, and you know 456 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: this is a team that was ready to win. By 457 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 2: the way, just top of my head, Tony Dungee was 458 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: a quarterback University of Minnesota and the f set in 459 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: Michigan in seventy seven. I'm just again, just another throwaway line. 460 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: But you know, Max Brosber for the Max Brosber fans. 461 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: Of course, if he goes you know what eleven for 462 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: twenty and throws a three yard pass behind the line 463 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: of scrimmage and they go sixty six yards, maybe they'll 464 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 2: give him Player the Century. 465 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: Oh that's a shador joke. 466 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: Thee. The Browns are hosting the Niners Sunday. Schudor gets 467 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: his second start. 468 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 3: Now. 469 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: San Francisco is seven to two on the road against 470 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 2: NFC teams, or seven to two against NFC teams, but 471 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 2: interestingly enough, only one and two against AFC teams. The 472 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: Browns are gonna bring their sack exchange, right, they had 473 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: ten last week. Miles Garrett's gonna probably be all over 474 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: the place. But I want to talk about Shudor. Look, 475 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: I got no beef with the guy. I'm just not 476 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: anywhere near convince he's a major league quarterback. Do they 477 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 2: make the most of his opportunities last week. Does he 478 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: have the it factor? Do they play with different energy? 479 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 2: Come on, man, what are your thoughts on that game tomorrow? 480 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 2: Can sr Door do it back to back weeks. 481 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 8: I think it'll be a different thing. 482 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 9: I thought last week the number was wrong with the 483 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 9: Raiders being three and a half points favorites. I don't 484 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 9: know if the Raiders should be three and a half 485 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 9: point favorites against the team from the Mountain West Conference, 486 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 9: let alone an NFL team with that level of defense. 487 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 9: So for me, I'm not looking at lay numbers with 488 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 9: a team like that. 489 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 10: Now. 490 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 9: I played the undred thirty five and a half in Cleveland. 491 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 9: I think this number is going to come down. The 492 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 9: wind is going to be pretty strong if you're San Francisco. 493 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 9: It's funny you said that Berne. I was talking about 494 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 9: a friend of mine as a Niner fan. I said, 495 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 9: this figure game, we don't take unnecessary risk. You play 496 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 9: this in a way where you keep it conservative as necessary. 497 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 9: You know, today I was apoplectic when Brett Vennibles went 498 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 9: for it on fourth and one at the at their 499 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 9: own forties nine yard line against an LSU team that 500 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 9: couldn't move the ball and then they went up with 501 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 9: a pass interference and erupting the pass or on that drive, 502 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 9: an LSU ties up to three, and I'm like, just 503 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 9: pump the ball. In my opinion, Oklahoma's got the second 504 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 9: best defense in college football, and the same thing with 505 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 9: the Niners. In this game, you're playing against a quarterbacks 506 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 9: who he might be high on his own supply right now. 507 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 9: But the reality of it is they didn't do much 508 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 9: they got because their defense they were stuffing fortuitous situations. 509 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 9: I think you do the Niners. You don't take risks, 510 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 9: you play it safely. You're gonna be able to win 511 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 9: this game against the good defense, but you don't want 512 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 9: to give the Browns any short fields, any opportunities to 513 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 9: make play. I think the Niners win this game, but 514 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 9: this feels like a it's going to be a low 515 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 9: scoring game. I'm not getting involved in the number because 516 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 9: if the win becomes a factor, which I think it 517 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 9: could be, then you might wind up a little bit 518 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 9: of a scenario where it's a thirteen to nine type 519 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 9: of game or something like that. So they played under 520 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 9: thirty five and a half here, Yeah. 521 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 2: I actually got it at thirty six on Thursday, So yeah, 522 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: there's going to be sideways wind and precipitation and the 523 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 2: whole schmier coming off the lake there in Cleveland. So 524 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: I think your assertion is correct. Speaking of another game 525 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: where I think points could be to premium, the Texans 526 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 2: have won three in a row. 527 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 3: They lead the NFL or the NF. 528 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the entire NFL in total defense culture number 529 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: two ranked offense three hundred and eighty four yards. 530 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 3: Per game, but Daniel Jones has the issue with his foot. 531 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 2: An interesting game now, it'll be played in perfect conditions 532 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: in the Dome, but I can't really get my mind 533 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: around this one as well. You could have gotten the 534 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: Texas at four and a half a couple of days ago. 535 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: It's now down to Indianapolis minus three. 536 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 9: Year thoughts amall and numbers come down a little bit, 537 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 9: quite a bit. They're going through four and three and 538 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 9: a half and now down to three. I still like 539 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 9: the Texans here. I think their defense has been underappreciated. 540 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 9: It's kind of the brown A similar situation with the 541 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 9: Browns offense wasn't sustaining drive. I think they'll be able 542 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 9: to play well enough. 543 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 11: CJ. 544 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 9: Stroud comings back in the mix here, hopefully, he can 545 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 9: stay upright and play better, But I don't like this 546 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 9: cold defense. Offensively, we know what they can do, but 547 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be a challenge. Will Anderson has 548 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 9: been tremendous this year. 549 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 12: For this Texans team. 550 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 9: I like the Texas. I did a kind of making 551 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 9: a late surge. When you look around the AFC right now, 552 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 9: Bernie bry were to ask you, which team do you 553 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 9: believe is coming out of the AFC, I could not 554 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 9: definitively give you one team and stop at Bronco fans. 555 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 9: You guys know you were perpetrating the fraud, and so 556 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 9: do the Colt Yeah. 557 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: I couldn't give you one either, because when you throw 558 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: them into a bin, and I don't think Baltimore's gonna 559 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 2: make the playoffs, they blew it and we'll see. 560 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 3: But you know, you get Buffalo. 561 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 2: Kansas City's not dead yet, but anyway, you get your 562 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 2: points taken. All right, one team that everybody's completely gog over. 563 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 11: But I. 564 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 2: Wouldn't look too far ahead. The NFL has a way 565 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: of looking a lot different than January. The Rams US 566 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 2: in Carolina another double digit favorite, this time around the road. 567 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 2: The Rams number one DVOA on offense and defense, double 568 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 2: digit road favorite. I sure as hell don't want to 569 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: lay the points ten and a half, but I don't 570 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 2: want to get in front of a speeding train either. 571 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: If you're Carolina, I thought they and I don't know 572 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 2: why they only give Rico Dodo the ball like twelve 573 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: times money night. 574 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 3: But I digress. Thoughts on Rams Carolina. 575 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm definitely not putting the Rams here. I like 576 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 9: Carolina in ten and a half. I haven't played it yet, 577 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 9: but I would look at them, and if you're like me, 578 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 9: you do a lot of in game betting. You know, 579 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 9: maybe it's a situation you wait to take a play 580 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 9: in play where maybe you get a thirteen and a 581 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 9: half or a fourteen and a half. The Rams jump 582 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 9: out with an early touchdown. But I'm not laying this 583 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 9: number on the road. If anything, I'm taking Carolina in 584 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 9: the spot. 585 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 3: All right. 586 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: Last game, a good old fashioned division rivalry the Raiders 587 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 2: is that the Chargers Chargers licking their wounds, took a 588 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: week off after that. You know Cane, you know Caning. 589 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: They got in Jacksonville the week before. They're laying nine 590 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: and a half. I just don't know how in the 591 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: hell you back the Raiders, but again, you lay over 592 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 2: a touchdown in a divisional game like that, you're asking 593 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: for it. 594 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 3: But I think the Raiders are just hapless. 595 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 9: Your thoughts, Yeah, I think it's one of the few 596 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 9: spots where you look at it. I think a divisional 597 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 9: poem is going to get blown up. Raiders are horrific. 598 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 9: I think We've got to a point in the season 599 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 9: where God's going to be potentially making business decisions. 600 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 12: And the other thing that helps. 601 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 9: I think the Chargers are somewhere in between that performance 602 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 9: against Jacksonville and to win in Brazil against the Chiefs. 603 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 9: I'm not sure which team they are, but there's somewhere. 604 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 11: In between, and I think they can really come out 605 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 11: and take care of business. 606 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 9: Some of that Sunday night game where they destroyed the 607 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 9: Steelers at home. I think you can see a result 608 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 9: similar to that in this one. This is where Jim 609 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 9: Harbaugh is really done well over his career, whether at 610 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 9: the collegiate level and the professional level. I think they 611 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 9: Chargers blow the Raiders out in this game. I know 612 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 9: it's a division game, but man, the Raiders can't stop anybody. 613 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 9: I think Justin Herbert has a good day This is 614 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 9: where the Justin Herbert's a very good quarterback conversational comes in. 615 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 9: Let's go to three hundred yards or two seventy and 616 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 9: you're like, oh, you had a great game, and then 617 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 9: you realize he played Bishop Gorman High School and so 618 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 9: that's the reason why you know, he put up some stats. 619 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 9: And that's basically what the Raiders are at this point 620 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 9: in time. So I just can't back the Raiders at 621 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 9: any point time, Bernie. They are a bad team. Look, 622 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 9: I know the Titans have less wins. In my opinion, 623 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 9: the Raiders are thirty two out of thirty two. Wheres 624 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 9: Michael Lombardi says the Radiers are the thirty third team. 625 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with all that. 626 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: I'm slightly concerned about the Chargers offensive line, which is 627 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 2: a twenty car pile up. It's terrible. But again, I 628 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: don't know if the Raiders can take advantage of amall 629 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 2: great stuff was always tell the folks where they can 630 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: find your stuff. 631 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 13: Yeah. 632 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 9: I'm on with Rick Newhizel Everage Friday on Serious x 633 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 9: tim and then follow me on Twitter at a mall 634 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 9: Shaw one. 635 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 2: Let's get you back in January when the playoffs start. 636 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 2: This is really good stuff.

So, if you watch the Michigan Ohose State 668 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 3: game today and. 669 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 2: You know you did, you saw two quarterbacks there are 670 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: both first year starters, Julian Sayan and Bryce Underwood. Now, 671 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 2: Sayan's on his way to maybe another national championship. Highly 672 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 2: efficient quarterback, nearly flawless season, leads the nation and completion 673 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: percentage very high in patching efficiency. He's very poised, a 674 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 2: very refined passer. Much for more refined passer. Excellent ball 675 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: placement and poise. He's having a much better year than 676 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: Bryce Underwood. 677 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 8: Now. 678 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: Bryce Utterwards considered a more dynamic athlete. He has a 679 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 2: tremendous physical upside. I like the way he's carried himself, 680 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 2: has a strong arm, but his production way less consistent. 681 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 2: He's had some turnover issues, and I know he operates 682 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 2: in a run heavy offense in Michigan. And watch paid 683 00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 2: twelve million for a quarterback. Side by side julians Anne's 684 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: completed the seventy nine percent of his passes, Bryce Underwood 685 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 2: about sixty two, maybe a little less. Bryce Underwood's throwing 686 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 2: for twenty one hundred yards Julian Saying over almost three thousand, 687 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: twenty seven touchdowns, four interceptions for Julian Saying, nine touchdowns, 688 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 2: five interceptions for Bryce Underwood. There's more, but you know 689 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 2: the long and the short of it is, Julian Saying 690 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 2: is considered the better quarterback, the more productive quarterback right now, 691 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 2: with a higher passer rating and better efficiency. But Bryce 692 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 2: Underwood very much noted for perhaps what might be a 693 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 2: higher athletic upside in arm talent. Here's your question, which 694 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 2: quarterback would you rather have, Julian Saying or Bryce Underwood 695 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 2: and why? 696 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 3: And by the way, I like Charown Moore. 697 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 2: Okay, but if you never worked in ann Arbor and 698 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 2: you never lived there, then you're scratching your head as 699 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: to why people are their whispers about your own more 700 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 2: and its future. 701 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 3: Not gonna fire him. He's going to definitely be back 702 00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 3: next year. 703 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 2: But he lost, you know, the three pivotal games this 704 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 2: year to USC to Oklahoma, and not Ohio State. And 705 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 2: that's just the way it works out there. If if 706 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 2: you don't get it, you think it's silly, Fine, you're 707 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: telling me you never lived there and never worked there. 708 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 2: I'm not saying I agree with it, but I'm not. 709 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 2: I'm curious why Bryce Underwood has not been developed better, 710 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,479 Speaker 2: come on, look at it, Okay, Not that it can't 711 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 2: change next year. So I want to know from the 712 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 2: folks eight seven, seven, nine to nine one Fox eight seven, seven, nine, 713 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 2: nine six six three sixty nine, who would you rather have? 714 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 3: You get? 715 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 2: Probably three more years it starts Julian sand or Bryce 716 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 2: Underwood the second one. This one's going to be uh, 717 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 2: I think pretty I'm looking forward to the calls of 718 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: this one more than any of them. And I'm going 719 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 2: to get to the chronology later. 720 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 3: Okay. 721 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin, as I said at the top of the show, 722 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 2: has a very well documented history of abrupt, very abrupt departures, 723 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: controversial departures, messi departures, and all from high profile coaching jobs. 724 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 2: He's got a reputation for messy innings. I'll tell you 725 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 2: what happened later with the Raiders, Okay, Al Davis not 726 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 2: only fired him for cause in September twenty eight, twenty 727 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 2: games into his tenure, he called him a con man 728 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: and a professional liar. 729 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 3: Tennessee. 730 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 2: Kiffin left Tennessee after just one season he was seven 731 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 2: and six in January twenty ten to go to USC 732 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: calling in a dream job, less than a month before 733 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 2: National signing Day. It caused all kinds of fan outrage, 734 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: student protests, Mattress being burned by the way. Kiffin was 735 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 2: famously fired five games into the twenty thirteen season at 736 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 2: USC on the airport tarmac, and even Nick Sabit let 737 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 2: him go, all right, we're going to get into more. 738 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 2: We're going to get into more of the specifics on 739 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 2: that later simple question. It looks like Lane Kiffin is 740 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 2: on his way to LA Is it gonna work? You 741 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: know what I mean by that. You've had three coaches 742 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 2: this millennium win national championships at LSU. Nick Sabman did it, 743 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 2: then Less Miles did it, and then at Ordren did 744 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 2: it within a couple of years after Orgeron and Miles 745 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 2: one that they were fired. 746 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 3: Good luck, Lane, They've already done it without you. Is 747 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: it going to work at LSU? And you know what 748 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 3: I mean by that? I want to hear is it 749 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 3: going to work? And why so? 750 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 2: Who would you rather have? Julian Sayan or Bryce Underwood. 751 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 2: By the way, and the Ohio State Game last year, 752 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 2: the quarterback for Michigan, Davis Warren threw for sixty two 753 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 2: yards on Saturday. Bryce under went through for sixty three 754 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 2: yards three point five yards per attempt. 755 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 3: You paid twelve million. I'm not picking on. 756 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 2: The kid, but hey, come on, now you get in 757 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: a return on your investment. And I like them, but 758 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 2: I expected more. Number two is Lane Kivin gonna work there? 759 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 2: You know where I'm going with that. The third one 760 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 2: I've been wanting to do is for a while, I figured, 761 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 2: what the hell, let's squeeze it in tonight. Let's talk 762 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 2: about our good old pal Tony Romo, who I think 763 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 2: most of us by at this point consider him to 764 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 2: be a very annoying broadcaster. He rambles, He's got kind 765 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 2: of this overly casual style he's full of excessive chatter, 766 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 2: and he's even been accused of bias toward the Chiefs. 767 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 3: I don't know if I know about that or agree 768 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 3: with that or what. 769 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 2: But here, listen, here's what bugs me about Tony Romo, 770 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 2: who never won a damn thing in the NFL. And 771 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: the thing I remember most is when he bobbled a 772 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 2: snap in a playoff game in Seattle and costs Dallas 773 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 2: a playoff win. Tony Tony Romo put up some numbers 774 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 2: as as a cowboy quarterback, no doubt about it, and 775 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 2: he stepped aside for Dak Prescott in twenty sixteen in 776 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 2: a very classy manner. But what is it with these 777 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 2: fake play predictions. He's still I treated about it about 778 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 2: a month ago. They're gonna have fourth down, They're gonna way, 779 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 2: They're not gonna run to play, They're gonna draw. I'm 780 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,959 Speaker 2: off side there. Next play, they run it up the middle. 781 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 2: He's got these fake play predictions. And there was sort 782 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 2: of this initial novelty of his quote play predictionability, but 783 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: I think it's completely worn off and it's not sustainable, 784 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 2: and it's inaccurate over half the time. Now he's very 785 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 2: much jumped to sharp. He was once praised for predicting plays, 786 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 2: but I think his commentary is now seen as vacuous, 787 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 2: and he very much lacks any kind of deep analysis 788 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 2: and more focused on silliness. Frankly, so, he's got this 789 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 2: overly casual rambling style. He's loose and goofy, and he 790 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 2: goes off on tangents, and I think it's very distracting. 791 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 2: I don't think he's informative at all. Excessive chatter, perceived bias, 792 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 2: lack of deep analysis. He's been accused of making inappropriate comments. 793 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 2: What those are I don't know. But the main thing 794 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 2: that bugs me is he tries to give quarterbacks and 795 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 2: teams and offensive coordinators advice when he never won a 796 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 2: damn thing in the National Football League. 797 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 3: I mean not a thing. He was annoying. So Tony Romo, 798 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 3: do you feel the same as me? 799 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 2: Or a Mile Wett? Do you like Tony Romeo? Hey, 800 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 2: this is fun, relax, man, We're all having this. This 801 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 2: is all fun here, all right. So number three, Tony Romo, 802 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: do you like him? Do you feel the same as me? 803 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 3: Give him? Take them? There you go. 804 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 2: So Topic number one Julian sand versus Bryce Underwood, Who 805 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 2: do you like more? 806 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 3: Who would you rather have? And the thoughts on your 807 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 3: own more? 808 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 2: And if his criticism is warranted? And then of course 809 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 2: number two Lane Kiffin. Will he have success at LSU? 810 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 2: Will he win a national championship there? It's national championship 811 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 2: or bust at LSU. If you don't know that by now, 812 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 2: you're gonna know it. And then finally, Tony Romo, I 813 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 2: think he's annoying as a broadcaster. You know where I'm 814 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,919 Speaker 2: going with that. So those are our three topics eight 815 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 2: seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, eight 816 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Let's have some fun 817 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 2: with this night.

I know 1007 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 11: he did make a mockery of it and make a 1008 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 11: mess of it, but isn't doubt what today's day in 1009 00:49:55,160 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 11: ages we're talking about guys at four different colleges at 1010 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 11: you know, seven year majors. It's all the way out 1011 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 11: the window, all of it. So okay, kudos for Lane, Man, 1012 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 11: and I do think he's gonna win. 1013 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:13,280 Speaker 9: You know, Bernie. 1014 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 11: One thing about Lane the guys was silly good Man 1015 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 11: and he gets knocked down, he picks himself up. Bill 1016 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 11: and I don't know what that what are the last 1017 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 11: callers was saying about he's narrow and granted he hasn't 1018 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:34,320 Speaker 11: really won a national championship on his own, but he 1019 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 11: was a big part of a few of those Alabama runs. 1020 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 11: And oh, miss man Ole Miss hasn't been squat other 1021 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 11: than what when Archie and Eli were there, all. 1022 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 2: The more reason for him to stay exactly, and interestingly enough, 1023 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 2: Saban got rid of him a week before the twenty 1024 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 2: seventeen National championship game. But listen, I like the variants 1025 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 2: of opinions. So you're like, hey, Lane's earned the right 1026 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 2: to do this. People want him. That's the way it works. 1027 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 2: Man supplying to Man, and he's one on one. 1028 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. What do you think about 1029 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:06,840 Speaker 3: the other topics. 1030 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,719 Speaker 11: I can't really speak on the Ohio State Michigan thing. 1031 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,320 Speaker 11: I mean, typically as I think about, you know, football, 1032 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 11: other than Tom Brady, I can't really think of any 1033 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 11: OSU or Michigan quarterbacks that really lit up the NFL. 1034 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:31,320 Speaker 11: So you know, I mean I would go Brewsters, millions, 1035 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 11: none of the above. 1036 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 3: Little John Candy reference. All right. Finally, do you like 1037 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 3: Tony rollmore or not? I think he's a clown. 1038 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 11: He is a clown. And you know another thing, it's 1039 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 11: the state of the industry, Bernie, I mean Kirk Galdi, 1040 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:58,319 Speaker 11: Vin Scully, Keith Jackson, no more, you know, I mean 1041 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 11: all vern Lund Quiz these guys that were great, you know, 1042 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 11: and just black and white, you know, showing the game, 1043 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 11: knowing when to let the game breathe, you know, instead 1044 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 11: of like they're saying, inserting all of the crap, like 1045 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 11: nobody gives a damn about that game you played against 1046 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,959 Speaker 11: Pittsburgh in twenty twelve, you know, like just a bunch 1047 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 11: of stuff. Man, Like, let the stuff on the field speak, 1048 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 11: do your research and get the fans what they want. 1049 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 11: An old school broadcast. But you know, hey, man, I'm 1050 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 11: the old man screaming at the clouds, right, Bernie, keep 1051 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:37,359 Speaker 11: up the good work. 1052 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 15: Love you, my man. 1053 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 3: Good to hear from me. Man, Well, don't be a stranger. 1054 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,879 Speaker 2: We go out to Colorado. We're joined by another Broncos fan. 1055 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 2: Welcome back in. 1056 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:46,960 Speaker 3: How are you? 1057 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 8: That's the good Bernie good Man. I'll tell you what 1058 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 8: you know something. I'm glad to hear your voice is 1059 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,760 Speaker 8: doing excellent. We've been kind of plagued with the cold 1060 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 8: around here in the whole shot. Anyway, let's just jump 1061 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 8: into it. The first one, the tea quarterbacks. Yeah, can 1062 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 8: I reserve that spot for something else? I want to say? Yeah, 1063 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 8: go go ahead, dive in Kiffin. Oh good god, I'll 1064 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 8: let you get what you want. You know, I really 1065 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 8: question his loyalty over the years with you know this 1066 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 8: and that the other I'm going hmm, I mean, Excells 1067 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 8: knows great, but damn, I really question its loyalty as 1068 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 8: far as uh well, no, let's discuss that. And then 1069 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 8: I was gonna say something about Romo and no, no, 1070 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 8: I don't think he anyway fair enough. But anyway, Romo, No, 1071 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:48,359 Speaker 8: I'd rather listen to Dave Logan on KOA Regional. He's 1072 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 8: a professional, he's a little bit of a homer, but no, 1073 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,280 Speaker 8: I'd rather listen to him. It's unfortunate with the Simon 1074 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 8: Cass As far as the whole situation with the Okay, 1075 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 8: we're gonna have three seconds and blah blah blah. But anyway, 1076 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:08,359 Speaker 8: what I'd love to say is, as a Colorado sports fan, 1077 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 8: professional teams, the Broncos, the Avalanche, the Nuggets. Wow, how sweet? 1078 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 8: How sweet? 1079 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 3: Yeah? I agree with all. 1080 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:23,120 Speaker 2: I appreciate you checking in again tonight, Broncos fan. Always 1081 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 2: a pleasure. We go out to Phoenix. My man Daves, 1082 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,839 Speaker 2: who I know is a Michigan man, and Dave, I'm 1083 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 2: sure you've got some thoughts. 1084 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 16: I do. 1085 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,240 Speaker 17: Bernie. Actually, I have no real strong opinion on Tony Romo, 1086 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 17: so I'll go to the other two topics. I do 1087 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 17: have strong opinions, and as far as the two quarterbacks, 1088 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 17: saying in Underwood as of right now, you'd have to 1089 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 17: go with saying he's had a much better season, but 1090 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 17: he also has a much better surrounding supporting cast. So 1091 00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,719 Speaker 17: I would preserve judgment until we see what happened in 1092 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,320 Speaker 17: the next couple of years. But I would say this, 1093 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 17: Michigan had a really easy schedule this year and they 1094 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 17: did not take advantage of it. The next two years 1095 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 17: they're going to have much much tougher schedules. And to 1096 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 17: make my point, you know, Michigan has a nine to 1097 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 17: three record that looks okay. But who did they beat 1098 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 17: for their nine wins? I can answer that question. 1099 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 2: Well, here's here's the larger issue. Rather than do all that, 1100 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,440 Speaker 2: they lost to Oklahoma and they didn't look good. They 1101 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 2: lost the USC and look good, olstall House, State didn't 1102 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 2: look good. And the thing about the supporting cast day 1103 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 2: which I would respectfully push back, I'm going to give 1104 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 2: you twelve million bucks. Feel free to elevate your supporting cast. 1105 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, why the hell doesn't Shorelan 1106 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 2: Moore let him do anything? They don't let him do anything. 1107 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of throws down field. You 1108 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 2: paid twelve million bucks for the guy. 1109 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,400 Speaker 17: That's a good point. And in fact, last year Michigan 1110 00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 17: had much much less talent on offense than they this year. 1111 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 17: And yet they escape go to the offensive coordinator and 1112 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 17: fired him, and they brought in Chip Lindsay and they 1113 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 17: told us how much greater he was going to be 1114 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,320 Speaker 17: and how he's going to be a fantastic difference maker. 1115 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,319 Speaker 17: Well we didn't see much of a difference. A little 1116 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,239 Speaker 17: bit of a difference, sure, but not a huge improvement. 1117 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,800 Speaker 17: So I would say it's a disappointing season. They in 1118 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 17: two years, Sharon Moore has eight losses, could end up 1119 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,760 Speaker 17: being nine. In the three previous years they were forty 1120 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 17: and three, culminating in the national title. So there's a 1121 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 17: lot of work to do and they're going to have 1122 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 17: to overcome a tough. 1123 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 2: Stet that next year is going to be a very 1124 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 2: pivotal year. And I like Charon Moore, but look, you 1125 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,720 Speaker 2: live there. I live there, I worked in that market. 1126 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 2: You can't explain it to people who don't get it. 1127 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 2: There's already whispers about Sharon Moore. Finally, real quickly, Lane. 1128 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 18: Kiffen, Yes, well, Lane Kiffin. 1129 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 7: You can argue either way whether he should be allowed 1130 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,440 Speaker 7: to coach Old Miss in the playoffs. 1131 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 17: I don't think they're going to. 1132 00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:58,279 Speaker 11: Let him coach. 1133 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 17: But interestingly, off to coach at Tulane and the coach 1134 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 17: at North Texas Core Leaving, are going to be allow 1135 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,920 Speaker 17: to coach in their conference title games, and if they 1136 00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 17: make the playoffs, they'll be coaching. 1137 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,800 Speaker 2: In that and cour but but, but, but Glayne Kiffin's 1138 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 2: leaving for a conference rival, and he's gonna steal without 1139 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 2: damn team. 1140 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 11: So he got here. 1141 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 9: You're right, You're right, You're right. 1142 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 2: I don't mean to be short with you, Dave.

The 1165 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 9: one thing that kind of annoys me with Lane Kiff 1166 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 9: and stuff is like he's saying he's going to a 1167 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 9: or not sec rival. Yes, but I've kind of got 1168 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 9: numbed to it over the years because one thing before 1169 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 9: Nil hit that these college coaches could ever they can. 1170 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 9: They can do whatever they want anyway. They could promise 1171 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 9: you something tonight and tomorrow they're going to Baylor. 1172 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 2: Okay, very true, but but this is over the top 1173 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 2: because he wants to coach the team. He's supposed to 1174 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 2: make a decision. Okay, you know where we're going with that. 1175 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 2: So if you're okay with it, if it's just all 1176 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 2: part of Christopher the milk. 1177 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 9: Ahead, that annoys me. But the analogy I'd use is 1178 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,120 Speaker 9: like you've got a girl you've been dating for a 1179 00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,160 Speaker 9: long time, you're going, you know, six seven years, you 1180 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 9: think she's your wife, all of a sudden, this better 1181 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 9: looking girl with a little more money, or. 1182 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 15: She just something that you think is a. 1183 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:10,920 Speaker 10: You know enough. 1184 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,680 Speaker 11: Here's the thing, Tyler hear it's probably about. 1185 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the deal. 1186 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 2: He's got an entire organization of people, one hundred players 1187 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 2: on that roster whose lives are at stake a coaching staff. 1188 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 2: So look, if he wants to leave, fine, people do 1189 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 2: it all the time. But he's it's another Jackassian way 1190 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 2: of doing it. What are your thoughts on the other 1191 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:32,800 Speaker 2: two tops? 1192 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 9: It's horrible. I, like I said, I just got so 1193 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 9: numb to it with college coaches where I've seen so 1194 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 9: many of them on TV come out and say one day, 1195 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 9: I love this place more than anything in the world. 1196 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 9: I would do anything for these guys, and then next 1197 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 9: day they're gone. They signed the bigger deal, And I. 1198 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 11: Get that, But like this thing is, you know, this 1199 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 11: is a girl you could marry, you could. 1200 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 9: Stay there for a long time, make a great name. 1201 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 8: He's he has what we all get. 1202 00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 3: We all get the rationale. 1203 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 2: They've already won three championships at LSU in the last 1204 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:03,479 Speaker 2: twenty two years. 1205 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,320 Speaker 3: He just another notch on the belt. 1206 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 2: He could stay at Mississippi and in a po statue, 1207 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 2: let's move on off off the jackass Kiffin. 1208 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 3: I've really I get it. 1209 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 2: You're you're you're just being rational and that everybody else 1210 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 2: is doing it, So why is he so bad? 1211 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 12: Fair? 1212 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 2: Okay, let's move on to Tony Romo and or the situation. 1213 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,920 Speaker 2: Who would you rather have Julian Saying or Bryce Underwood. 1214 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 9: I got still burned out watching the Underwood kid early 1215 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 9: in the year. I haven't paid much attention. 1216 01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 19: To Michigan for the last few weeks because I. 1217 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 9: Got burnt out. I think he's young, he could do well, 1218 01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 9: but I just didn't think he was processing anything. 1219 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,240 Speaker 3: Well, he's not. He's not, And that's part of the 1220 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's development or what. 1221 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 9: Well, it's football. If you don't have a quarterback that 1222 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 9: could either do both or one really good if you're both, Like, 1223 01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 9: he's a good runner, but I just don't think you 1224 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 9: passed the ball. I don't think he win a college championship. 1225 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's one dimensional. 1226 01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 2: He's way far away from being at that plateau real quickly. 1227 01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 2: Do you like Do you like Tony Romo? 1228 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 3: Yes or not? Yes or no? 1229 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 9: I'm not I'm not a Romo fan. Like way, when 1230 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 9: he started calling out the players doing whatever, I thought, 1231 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 9: all right, this guy's great, he's gonna be great. Well 1232 01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 9: that's turned into. 1233 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 3: Being a rambling that's weren't off yet. 1234 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,200 Speaker 9: Whatever.

So yes, I do to your point, Bernie, 1288 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 20: it does hurt because you know you're you're on the 1289 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 20: precipice of doing something they haven't done before, and it's 1290 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 20: it's this great season and then now but we's pulling 1291 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,080 Speaker 20: the rug out from under you, as you might have 1292 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 20: suspect that he might do the thing for me is 1293 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 20: and other calls have said it that they you know, 1294 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 20: and I'm not rationalizing it because you have a wild 1295 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 20: West with the nil and the transfer portal, and really 1296 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 20: College Athletics has just gone absolutely buck wild across the board. 1297 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 20: That doesn't give Lane any any cover. But in terms 1298 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 20: of getting rid of him for the playoffs, even though 1299 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 20: I know it's frustrating, you might want to just keep 1300 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 20: you because he's he's the best coach that you have available, 1301 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 20: so I might keep him. So your point about what's 1302 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 20: going on the big game today Michigan and Ohio State, 1303 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 20: Ohio State kind of handling business and getting hot which 1304 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 20: quarterback I would prefer? I feel listen, this kid bright Underwood, 1305 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 20: twelve million dollar man. You know they gave up everything 1306 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 20: but the kitchen sink to get him for me, Michigan's 1307 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 20: missing a hardball, that's what they're missing, okay, and someone who. 1308 01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,440 Speaker 3: Can develop them. That is that where you're going with that, 1309 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 3: someone who can develop them, Okay, okay. 1310 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 20: Exactly, you know, and so they're not you know, it's 1311 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,080 Speaker 20: you know, it took hardball some time. He was getting 1312 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:47,880 Speaker 20: the break speed off of them by Ohio State for 1313 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 20: some years and then once he you know, found his 1314 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 20: niche and got in his group, he took them to 1315 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 20: a national championship and then he parachuted out to the NFL. 1316 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 20: So with Underwood, I just you know, Ryan Day, he's 1317 01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 20: been there. You know, they have to get their new programs. 1318 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 20: Everybody's not carbum okay. So I think that's you know, 1319 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 20: I don't know if they want to panic or do whatever. 1320 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 3: Well, they had to. They had to know that going in. 1321 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:12,959 Speaker 3: They figured this kid was plug and play. 1322 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 2: And I think he's conquited himself well, but I have 1323 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 2: not seen an ascension towards his ceiling at all. In fact, 1324 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 2: in fact, I've seen a regression real quickly. Tony Romo 1325 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 2: andre yes or. 1326 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 20: No, yes for Tony Romo. But the thing for me 1327 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 20: with him is that everybody's not a broadcaster. Just because 1328 01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:36,160 Speaker 20: you're you can talk and doesn't mean you're a broadcaster. 1329 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,720 Speaker 20: It doesn't mean you're a journalist. So the luster has 1330 01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 20: worn off a little. 1331 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 11: Bit with him. You know what he came in, you know, 1332 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:42,360 Speaker 11: with all of his trips. 1333 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 20: Not wow, it's new, it's amazing, it's innovative. But over 1334 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 20: time he doesn't. He doesn't have the core competency as 1335 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,200 Speaker 20: somebody who's spent years and years. That's it's the same 1336 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 20: thing as when they give a head coach like JJ 1337 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 20: Reddick's doing well. 1338 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,120 Speaker 10: But you know, every time you just give. 1339 01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 20: Somebody a head coaching job with no background, know, and 1340 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:01,960 Speaker 20: they get hot, could win a couple of games, but 1341 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 20: over time there's a regression to the me. That's my 1342 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 20: feeling on Room. I don't I don't have any animies 1343 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 20: towards him, towards him, but he's no, no, no, he's just. 1344 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:13,439 Speaker 3: A fun loving gooseball. He's not my Yeah, he's not. Yeah, 1345 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 3: he's not my Jim. 1346 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, Andre, appreciate it as always. 1347 01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,560 Speaker 2: Hope to hear from me again, Poppy and san diego. 1348 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,160 Speaker 19: Let her rip my man Berdie Well, you know the 1349 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,960 Speaker 19: first one was that college I don't want to.

So that 1352 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 19: was a great rivalry game. So and onto the next one. 1353 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 19: What's the next one, Bernie. 1354 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 2: Well, do you believe Lane Kiffin is gonna make it 1355 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 2: at LSU and win or not? 1356 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 11: I don't know about that. 1357 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,280 Speaker 19: All skins college chock. I'll let somebody else in college expert. 1358 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,160 Speaker 19: I'll leave that for my rat. At the end, Bernie. 1359 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 19: And the third one it was about yeah. 1360 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 3: Do you like him or not?

Go ahead. 1362 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 11: So the thing I know about Tony Romo is there's Bernie. 1363 01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:00,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1364 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 19: I'm surprised no caller than anyone says that when Tony 1365 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 19: Romo was dating Jessica Simpson. I just want to know, 1366 01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 19: Bernie is is it Jessica Simpson. 1367 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,919 Speaker 2: Or what I was like eighteen years ago?

Is this your first time? 1401 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 21: No, No, I've called you for Bruce. 1402 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,160 Speaker 3: My bad, My bad. I got a few holes in 1403 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:38,280 Speaker 3: my game letter rip Jimmy. 1404 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:43,040 Speaker 21: All right, listen, Lane Kippen. I'm not big college football guy, 1405 01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 21: but let me tell you some of I believe uh 1406 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 21: that when you hire bad people, you gotta get bad 1407 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 21: results sooner or later. And this track record speaks for itself. 1408 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 21: So lsu, this program to me is been sketchy the 1409 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 21: last few years. So I think they deserve each other. 1410 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 21: And I don't have much heat. I leave it much 1411 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,680 Speaker 21: sympathy for old Messina because they knew what they were 1412 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 21: getting with Playe Kippin. So I don't think there should 1413 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:09,519 Speaker 21: be a big shock that there's there's a drama drama 1414 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 21: coming up here, and now there's talk about him poaching 1415 01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:17,080 Speaker 21: personnel and all that stuff. So they all get what 1416 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 21: they deserve it with this guy, you know what I'm saying. 1417 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 2: You know, so you're not wrong, You're not wrong. It's 1418 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,680 Speaker 2: just just this one even feels over the top for him. 1419 01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 2: Thoughts on do who would you rather have Julian saying, 1420 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 2: or would you rather have Pryce Underwood. 1421 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:32,519 Speaker 21: I'm gonna have to take a pass to that for you. 1422 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,360 Speaker 2: How about how about the legendary Tony Romo considered an 1423 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 2: annoying broadcaster now his goofy style on and on play 1424 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 2: predictions that falls short. 1425 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,280 Speaker 21: This is what I called you about, Britty about Tony Romo. 1426 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 21: I just care about the guy one way the other. 1427 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:49,720 Speaker 15: Uh. 1428 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 21: And whether you like the guy announcing or not, it's 1429 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 21: like going to a game and worry about the umpires. 1430 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 21: I don't really care. However, I get to take a 1431 01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:02,920 Speaker 21: little issue with you. A number of times he said 1432 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,360 Speaker 21: the guy never won a damn thing, so he doesn't 1433 01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,160 Speaker 21: really have a right to his opinion or whatever. 1434 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,799 Speaker 2: And oh no, he's got a right to his opinion, 1435 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,920 Speaker 2: but it's less credible when you've never won. Maybe he 1436 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 2: won one playoff game, he didn't win like you're paid 1437 01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:25,080 Speaker 2: to win as a quarterback in the NFL. And that's 1438 01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:31,400 Speaker 2: why I take umbrage Jimmy, because he's giving advice at 1439 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 2: what the next place should have been or what I 1440 01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 2: would have done there, and well you didn't do it 1441 01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 2: when you were playing, So anyway, you got the last 1442 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 2: word Jimmy. 1443 01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 21: Well, all I'm saying is from a guy you can 1444 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,200 Speaker 21: only get into a game with a ticket. There's many 1445 01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,440 Speaker 21: people that broadcasted that haven't. 1446 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:45,920 Speaker 11: Won a thing. 1447 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,519 Speaker 21: Dan Founts, Dan Marino for example, and all that. 1448 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:51,559 Speaker 7: So I guess said that's all true. 1449 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 3: But those guys are an annoying goofballs. Go go ahead, Jimmy, 1450 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:55,840 Speaker 3: I'm the same. 1451 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,599 Speaker 21: Like I said, he's on my play breathe. I don't 1452 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,599 Speaker 21: care what was the other I'm the say. Some people 1453 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 21: like him, some people don't. That's how the world, that's 1454 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 21: how it works, you know. And but like I said, 1455 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 21: I think it's a relevant whether he was a great 1456 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,599 Speaker 21: quarterback already good call. 1457 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 2: No good stuff, Jimmy, No, No, that good, good, objective, 1458 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 2: pragmatic opinion. 1459 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

Good to have you. 1464 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I want to start off with Lane kissing man. 1465 01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 14: I think he's the most overrated coach mavering about the 1466 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:42,000 Speaker 14: last ten to fifteen years, like all this hoopla over 1467 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 14: guy that's never won a championship, a playoff game, a 1468 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:50,200 Speaker 14: conference championship game, and LSU was about to spend one 1469 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,480 Speaker 14: hundred million dollars on him. I think that's just ridiculous. 1470 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,880 Speaker 14: And all this drum and stuff that he's putting both l. 1471 01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 14: Shuter and the old mess through, it's just not called for. 1472 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:06,679 Speaker 14: It's not fair to the players, the coaches, their families. 1473 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:08,559 Speaker 14: It's not fair at all. 1474 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:13,040 Speaker 3: And that's well said. It feels like he's leaving. 1475 01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 2: He's holding a hell of a lot of people hostage 1476 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 2: in the most egregious way, right before Mississippi's about to 1477 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 2: go to their first ever playoff Go ahead. 1478 01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's just crazy, you know.

I'm not 1538 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 22: saying it will happen, but it's gonna be possible. It's 1539 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 22: definitely gonna be possible. And Alix fans are going to 1540 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:34,519 Speaker 22: expect that. 1541 01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:38,200 Speaker 3: And well, there's no question Tony. 1542 01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:42,639 Speaker 22: There's unrealistic expectations in college football.

Those guys rab people the wrong way 1551 01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:05,320 Speaker 22: or not me. 1552 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:07,639 Speaker 3: Hey, thanks a lot for checking in, John. 1553 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,040 Speaker 2: And what would be the big story at LSU if 1554 01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 2: he actually did win there, not if he crashes and burns. 1555 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 2: The big story would be if Lane did win? All right, Jeff, 1556 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,200 Speaker 2: you're the final call, Jeff in Denver. We're bringing some 1557 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 2: to that on the minute hour. 1558 01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 18: Hey, Bernie, good talking to you.

But Tony Romo is just doing his thing, man, 1561 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,000 Speaker 18: He's just put providing what he can provide. It is 1562 01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:40,080 Speaker 18: what it is. But all right, Lane, the line Kiffin 1563 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 18: thing is just absolutely wrong to tell kids all year long, 1564 01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,120 Speaker 18: we're in it, this is what we're doing, stick with 1565 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,760 Speaker 18: the program, let's go, let's go, let's go, and then 1566 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,240 Speaker 18: to back out. It's just the most asinine thing in 1567 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:52,759 Speaker 18: the world. 1568 01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:57,760 Speaker 2: Well, what makes you troubling, Jeff, is they're about to 1569 01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,160 Speaker 2: go to their first ever playoff. 1570 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:01,840 Speaker 3: I gotta fight in chance they lost one game this 1571 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:03,920 Speaker 3: year to Georgia, one game. 1572 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,560 Speaker 18: To stay there and build your legacy there instead of 1573 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,519 Speaker 18: jumping ship. You tell these kids to you know, buy 1574 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 18: and buy and buy in and then you back out. 1575 01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,000 Speaker 18: What a horse is behind. 1576 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're never gonna like the way your coach leaves 1577 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:20,120 Speaker 2: if he's been successful. 1578 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 3: But this just adds tremendous insult to injury. The timing. 1579 01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 2: He didn't make the announcement Saturday like you said he was, 1580 01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 2: and I understand there's all kinds of consternation. He's threatening 1581 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 2: to steal a whole team and you better let me 1582 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,639 Speaker 2: coach during the playoff or I'm gonna do this. He's 1583 01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:36,679 Speaker 2: like a petulant child. 1584 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 18: What the LSU doesn't go, You're gonna go somewhere else. 1585 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 18: You know, you tell kids that you know buy and 1586 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 18: buy and buy and then you leave. That is the 1587 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 18: you know, you know, the pot calling the kettle black. 1588 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,920 Speaker 3: Did you have a thought on Julian Sane versus Bryce Underwood. 1589 01:17:58,200 --> 01:17:59,479 Speaker 18: I don't even know who those guys are. 1590 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:03,400 Speaker 1: Tell you, okay, no out gig good enough? 1591 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,479 Speaker 3: Look anything else?

I thought Lebron 1646 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 2: would be out till December first, But I'm still good. 1647 01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,360 Speaker 2: I don't have them in the conference finals or anything. 1648 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 3: No, and if they I'll lead crow in April or May. 1649 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:58,040 Speaker 3: But the truth of the matter, is this really sustainable? 1650 01:20:59,160 --> 01:20:59,640 Speaker 11: I think it is? 1651 01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,400 Speaker 16: Well, I'm a believer in the Lakers. Now, that doesn't 1652 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,400 Speaker 16: mean I'm a believer that they're going to win the 1653 01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,439 Speaker 16: Voice of the Little Area of Brian trophy or beat 1654 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:10,160 Speaker 16: the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, but 1655 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,160 Speaker 16: I honestly wont to be surprised that they finished the 1656 01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,679 Speaker 16: way the season is right now, second in the West. 1657 01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 16: That's not to say it's going to happen to Denver Nuggets. 1658 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:22,559 Speaker 16: They could have a rebuttal, but in the short term 1659 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 16: their managing challenges because Aaron Gordon's out of the lineup 1660 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:30,000 Speaker 16: and hamstring injuries are always sticy. The Houston Rockets can 1661 01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,479 Speaker 16: have a rebuttal because they have Kevin Durant and a 1662 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,879 Speaker 16: really good young core with Alvin Thompson and Albert Singhoun. 1663 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:39,280 Speaker 16: But look, the Lakers have laid down that this blueprint 1664 01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 16: can work. Luca Doctics is early running for MVP, Austin 1665 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 16: Reeves is playing a case for him to be in 1666 01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,560 Speaker 16: the All Star Game, and Lebron he seems alright with 1667 01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 16: playing the third option. And you know they're not strength 1668 01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:56,800 Speaker 16: in numbers Golden State Warriors type depth, but the role 1669 01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,439 Speaker 16: players aren't decent. So you add it all up and. 1670 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:01,000 Speaker 3: Win some games. 1671 01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 2: Well, I covered a team, the Detroit Pistons, where defense 1672 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:09,720 Speaker 2: did win championships, and you made factual statements about their 1673 01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:11,720 Speaker 2: big three, and I don't think any of them can 1674 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 2: guard a park car in the playoffs. You know, Minnesota. 1675 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,080 Speaker 2: Minnesota is gonna have something to say about it too. 1676 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,519 Speaker 2: It took the Lakers in five last year, and you're 1677 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 2: you're gonna run back with essentially the same team with 1678 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,839 Speaker 2: maybe less depth and oh, by the way, defense. 1679 01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,439 Speaker 3: But listen, you answered my question, so let's not debate it. 1680 01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,559 Speaker 2: It's only November thirtieth. I mean, we're a long way away. 1681 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,840 Speaker 2: You saw the MAVs. Cooper Flagg had a coming out 1682 01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 2: party against the Clippers Saturn. I scored thirty five points 1683 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 2: as an eighteen year old, surpassed the aforementioned Lebron Will 1684 01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:46,840 Speaker 2: Dallas wake up and do some things later in the year? 1685 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,599 Speaker 3: Are they cooked well? 1686 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:52,599 Speaker 16: Talking to Dallas average, they're firm believers that they're gonna 1687 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 16: be all right once they got healthy. But I don't 1688 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,960 Speaker 16: see it. Cooper Flag he's going to become a really 1689 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 16: special player. I think that he's shown, you know, barring 1690 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,160 Speaker 16: major injury, he's winning a Rookie of the Year. And 1691 01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,639 Speaker 16: Klay Thompson, you know, how to breakout game tonight against 1692 01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,920 Speaker 16: the Clippers and had some flashback moments as if he 1693 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,760 Speaker 16: was with the Golden State Warriors in his prime. But 1694 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 16: I know Anthony Davis is back, but you never know 1695 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:22,439 Speaker 16: how sustainable his health can be. Kyrie Irving he has 1696 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 16: an ACL injury. The earliest projection for him is likely 1697 01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,479 Speaker 16: January February. And a lot of times when players come 1698 01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 16: back for ACL injuries, like they're not the same player 1699 01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:34,680 Speaker 16: and they have to treat that season is almost a 1700 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:39,280 Speaker 16: gap year. So I would be surprised if the Mavericks 1701 01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 16: can take themselves out of this hole. But one thing 1702 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,840 Speaker 16: I will give the Mavericks credit after seeing them live 1703 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,800 Speaker 16: these past two games, they at least compete guys like 1704 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 16: Nagie Marshall, great role player, two way talent, Cooper Flag 1705 01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,879 Speaker 16: As I mentioned before, he's not afraid to get physical. 1706 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:01,559 Speaker 16: He takes on challenging defensive assignments. He's really aggressive at 1707 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 16: the rim. Klay Thompson, he's for professional with his bench 1708 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:09,479 Speaker 16: playing role. So they're always going to give an honest 1709 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,800 Speaker 16: effort here. But I think it's just very telling that 1710 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:13,680 Speaker 16: how fitting this was. 1711 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 8: PJ. 1712 01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 16: Washington was a late scratch because he's slipped on a 1713 01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:20,920 Speaker 16: basketball and spraying his right ankle during pregame warmups. I mean, 1714 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:24,080 Speaker 16: I think that symbolizes that this team is going to 1715 01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 16: struggle to stay healthy and hence my skepticism. But again, 1716 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,600 Speaker 16: I at least do give credit to a man that 1717 01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,360 Speaker 16: you know, there's no fractured locker room and they're all 1718 01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,280 Speaker 16: trying to, you know, fight and still make it worth 1719 01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:36,760 Speaker 16: their while. 1720 01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,880 Speaker 3: I agree with all that. Again, it's it's very early 1721 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:42,360 Speaker 3: in the season. 1722 01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,280 Speaker 2: And what's interesting is Lebron has actually gone almost thirteen 1723 01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 2: hundred games in a row while he scored. He's got 1724 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:54,000 Speaker 2: a double digit scoring streak. Do you think that gets 1725 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:54,720 Speaker 2: broken this year? 1726 01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,719 Speaker 16: No, I think it's just going to continue because there's 1727 01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:00,560 Speaker 16: been so many games, right, I think, you know what, 1728 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 16: this might be the one that's in then all of 1729 01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,519 Speaker 16: a sudden, he goes on a scoring tear in the 1730 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 16: second half. I think Lebron is very conscious of that. 1731 01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,559 Speaker 16: At the same time, he usually plays the right way. 1732 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:15,760 Speaker 16: But you know, because he's still a focal point, at 1733 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:19,679 Speaker 16: least a third option on the team and on the floor. 1734 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 16: When he's on the floor, he's been still effective playing 1735 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,639 Speaker 16: through injuries. I think that he's still going to get 1736 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 16: that now. I don't think that he's going to be 1737 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,800 Speaker 16: eligible for any All NBA awards this season because you know, 1738 01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,639 Speaker 16: it's the sixty five game minimum. He could really only 1739 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:39,639 Speaker 16: miss a handful more games. And I think that because 1740 01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:41,400 Speaker 16: of where he's at in his career, they're going to 1741 01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 16: rest him on certain back to backs that he's not 1742 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,600 Speaker 16: going to be eligible for that. But I think that 1743 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,040 Speaker 16: double digits scoring streak, I think that he'll be able 1744 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,360 Speaker 16: to sustain that, frankly the rest. 1745 01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:50,719 Speaker 7: Of his career. 1746 01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:54,479 Speaker 2: Tait of Mark Medina Medina Magic or Fox Sports Radio 1747 01:25:54,600 --> 01:26:00,200 Speaker 2: Nbia Guru, also writer for Essentially Sports Mark. 1748 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 3: I want to go off the reservation for a minute. 1749 01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:06,559 Speaker 2: Is there truth to the rumor that the minority group 1750 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,960 Speaker 2: of the Phoenix Suns is accusing Matt Ishbia of using 1751 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 2: his team as his personal piggy bank? 1752 01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 16: Oh yeah, I mean this is all litigated now. Matdishpil 1753 01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,400 Speaker 16: will say none of that's true. You know, this is 1754 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 16: just you know, them trying to extort him and all 1755 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,360 Speaker 16: that and try to get some money out of him. 1756 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,280 Speaker 16: But yeah, there is a lawsuit in that. It's always 1757 01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:32,120 Speaker 16: how it's solved in the courts, but it always starts 1758 01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 16: with allegations. But if I had a guess, I frankly 1759 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,519 Speaker 16: don't think this really goes anywhere. 1760 01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:40,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just when things like that make news. And 1761 01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,240 Speaker 2: by the way, has there been any follow up. It's 1762 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:48,160 Speaker 2: very much under the radar. The whole Chauncey Billups situation 1763 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,639 Speaker 2: with the poker games and the gambling. People kept saying 1764 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,439 Speaker 2: it's a tip of the iceberg. Well, I haven't seen 1765 01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 2: the second shoe drop yet, but what's happening with that. 1766 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 2: It's just quietly for you know, proceeding behind the scenes. 1767 01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:03,519 Speaker 16: Yeah, well, earlier this week he pled not guilty, so 1768 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:07,400 Speaker 16: this is all these court cases take a while. So 1769 01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 16: he appeared in federal court earlier this week he pled 1770 01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 16: not guilty, So you know, they're going to make some scheduling, 1771 01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 16: you know, arrangements on him and Damon Jones on when 1772 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 16: they appear in court next. But this is all just 1773 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:28,160 Speaker 16: kind of procedural. So the fact that you're not hearing much, 1774 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 16: that's kind of just how litigation works. And as far 1775 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 16: as what happens with the investigation with the FBI, you know, 1776 01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 16: I know that they've been trying to call you know, 1777 01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:43,000 Speaker 16: different league officials to testify, so that's another part of it. 1778 01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,320 Speaker 16: I think the other part of it is that the 1779 01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:51,479 Speaker 16: league itself, they're going to cooperate with authorities with going 1780 01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,559 Speaker 16: through their own investigation, with interviewing all these different people. 1781 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,280 Speaker 16: And so I think this is something that's going to take, 1782 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,519 Speaker 16: you know, upwards to a year, and we'll lowly but 1783 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 16: surely have news trickle out about any of these developments. 1784 01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 2: By the way, if I a digress for just a second, 1785 01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:09,720 Speaker 2: I meant to bring this up. The Lakers are giving 1786 01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,519 Speaker 2: up like seventy shooting inside of five feet, so they 1787 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:14,800 Speaker 2: lack rim protection too. 1788 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:16,920 Speaker 3: Do they have a solution for that? 1789 01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 16: Yeah, well they're not a weit defensive team. But one 1790 01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,200 Speaker 16: thing I do want to point out is they didn't 1791 01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:27,920 Speaker 16: bring back the same supporting cast, right. You know, Marcus 1792 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,920 Speaker 16: Smart is a really great defender. Same thing with Jake 1793 01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:35,719 Speaker 16: Wulrabia as far as perimeter defense. And that helps because 1794 01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 16: Austin ree Is, Luka Dodgis that are giving an honest effort, 1795 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:42,880 Speaker 16: better effort defensively this season. But they're not elite defenders. 1796 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:44,840 Speaker 16: You know, I think as far as you know what 1797 01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 16: they do on their front court. DeAndre Ayton, he again 1798 01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 16: he's not going to be an all defensive player, but 1799 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:54,760 Speaker 16: he has shown an engagement level. You've seen the best 1800 01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,920 Speaker 16: version of him so far because he's gained so many 1801 01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:59,960 Speaker 16: easy baskets and as a result of that, he is 1802 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:02,440 Speaker 16: giving an honest effort in the interior. 1803 01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,400 Speaker 2: God bless him. But that's kind of like being the 1804 01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 2: best hockey player in Argentina right now, you know. Anyway, 1805 01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,320 Speaker 2: moving along, and I should have mentioned this too, because 1806 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,200 Speaker 2: you're here again, that's right. Don't forget to try to 1807 01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 2: send my bonet spaghetti here all week. Listen, let me 1808 01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 2: say this mark because I meant to bring this up, 1809 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,240 Speaker 2: and I'm kind of jumping all over the map tonight. 1810 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is and I like Anthony Davis when he's healthy. 1811 01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:32,479 Speaker 2: Scheduled to make like one hundred and seventy million the 1812 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 2: next three years. But I understand the Mavericks are actually 1813 01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 2: exploring a Davis trade already and hoping you get it 1814 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 2: done by the trade deadline. 1815 01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 3: Is your true to that and could they make that happen? 1816 01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:45,920 Speaker 16: I don't think they're exploring trades right now. I think 1817 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,519 Speaker 16: it's just been about trying to be patient with his rehab. 1818 01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,160 Speaker 16: You know, he made his return on the Mini's restriction 1819 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:56,280 Speaker 16: against the Lakers. He played relatively well and established some 1820 01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 16: good chemistry. I think what's going to happen is the 1821 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,800 Speaker 16: Maverick are going to have full clarity. You know, by 1822 01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:06,879 Speaker 16: the end of December mid January. Is this team climbing 1823 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,560 Speaker 16: out of the hole after they're finally getting whole with 1824 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:13,080 Speaker 16: having a Quean Bill health and then that's when they'll 1825 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 16: start becoming sellers. I think when you're looking at the 1826 01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:18,720 Speaker 16: business of basketball and hal NBA teams operate. If they 1827 01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,960 Speaker 16: can't sell winning, they sell hope and what the right 1828 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,240 Speaker 16: of what the Mavericks right now are trying to sell 1829 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:28,160 Speaker 16: us hope that hey, guys are playing hard. Anthony Davis 1830 01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,160 Speaker 16: is coming back, you know, he's getting phase back in 1831 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,120 Speaker 16: the lineup. Maybe some of their guys like Daniel Gafford 1832 01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:37,320 Speaker 16: and Derrick Lively the second can come back soon. Now 1833 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:39,760 Speaker 16: let's see what they're made of. But it is a 1834 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:42,719 Speaker 16: long haul. But to answer your question, they're not making 1835 01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:46,080 Speaker 16: any selling moves right now. But that's because the way 1836 01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 16: the calendar works is no teams are really negotiating because 1837 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,719 Speaker 16: we're still two months away from the trade deadline. 1838 01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:58,120 Speaker 2: Speaking of trades, I'm hearing LaMelo Ball amongst some trade 1839 01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:01,080 Speaker 2: rumors and he might have more than one suit out. 1840 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:04,320 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that that's definitely going to happen. But again, 1841 01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 16: I don't think that the Shard Hornets are entertaining calls 1842 01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 16: at this point because there's still a lot of time 1843 01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:15,920 Speaker 16: before the trade deadline. But I know going into the season, 1844 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,920 Speaker 16: the Hornets wanted to finally be a team that turns 1845 01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,960 Speaker 16: the corner with Wa Melo Ball being more consistently healthy 1846 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 16: and this team finally becoming a playoff team. They've been 1847 01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:31,240 Speaker 16: a team that is very intriguing, but you know, isn't 1848 01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 16: quite making that leap. You know, they've had a few 1849 01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:38,760 Speaker 16: planned tournament appearances but doesn't really go anywhere. So it's 1850 01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 16: really disappointing that even when you look at how great 1851 01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:45,840 Speaker 16: of a performance that Kamker Nipple has had his rookie 1852 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,320 Speaker 16: season with not just being a great shooter but being 1853 01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:51,639 Speaker 16: a great all round player, that everyone else hasn't carried 1854 01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:55,000 Speaker 16: their own weight here. So I think that going to 1855 01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:58,320 Speaker 16: the trade deadline they will be sellers and Ball be 1856 01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:01,200 Speaker 16: at the top of the list. But given his talent, 1857 01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 16: I think the Hornets are going to be expecting a 1858 01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:04,000 Speaker 16: lot in return. 1859 01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:09,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, And again I like him when he's available, 1860 01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,840 Speaker 2: but he hasn't always been available talking with Mark Medina 1861 01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:16,320 Speaker 2: adda magic or Fox Sports Radio NBA guru or a 1862 01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 2: writer also a writer for essentially sports. All Right, I'm 1863 01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 2: invoking this subject tonight because another thirty days have gone by. 1864 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:27,120 Speaker 3: We have November thirties upon. 1865 01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:30,560 Speaker 2: Us in the December first, so the extension for the 1866 01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:34,599 Speaker 2: WNBA CBA is about to expire. Have they made any 1867 01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 2: progress on those talks. 1868 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that they haven't made substantial progress, but 1869 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:46,040 Speaker 16: I think by the time the steadline happens, they agree 1870 01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,080 Speaker 16: to a deal. You know, as much as I'm not 1871 01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:50,560 Speaker 16: following the ins and outs as I have and with 1872 01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:54,160 Speaker 16: the MBA, we've had this discussion that even though there's 1873 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:58,240 Speaker 16: queer disagreements with the players union and ownership on how 1874 01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,599 Speaker 16: they divide the pie, given the recent growth in the league, 1875 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:05,360 Speaker 16: both parties are very well aware of the attention economy 1876 01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:08,759 Speaker 16: and the ramifications if they don't seize on the momentum 1877 01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:13,200 Speaker 16: of ensuring there's no work stoppage. So I don't know 1878 01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:15,120 Speaker 16: when they're going to agree to a deal, but they're 1879 01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:18,160 Speaker 16: going to agree to a deal well before there's any 1880 01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,639 Speaker 16: concern that it can sacrifice, you know, it can leave 1881 01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,360 Speaker 16: next season vulnerable as far as scheduling goes. 1882 01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:29,760 Speaker 3: Marcus Early, we left out that you wanted to bring 1883 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:30,719 Speaker 3: to the table tonight. 1884 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,880 Speaker 16: You know what I think, Yeah, I will say that 1885 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:39,200 Speaker 16: Kevon Looney, you know, Warriors Prize role player, he got 1886 01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:43,759 Speaker 16: a very good video tribute when the New Orleans Pelicans 1887 01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:47,519 Speaker 16: played the Warriors today, So that was very notable and 1888 01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:50,440 Speaker 16: I know that that was something that was very emotional 1889 01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 16: for Kavan Luis. Look, he's only a role player here, 1890 01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 16: but to a man, the Warriors really credit him for 1891 01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,240 Speaker 16: how great of a glue guy he was to compliment 1892 01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,479 Speaker 16: all those star players. And he's in rough sledding right 1893 01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:06,040 Speaker 16: now with the Pelicans, but you know, he's been someone 1894 01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:09,599 Speaker 16: that's trying to inject some veteran leadership on the team 1895 01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:13,720 Speaker 16: and be kind of a model example for Zion Williamson. 1896 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:16,519 Speaker 16: Right like, Kevon Looney entered the NBA having a lot 1897 01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:19,560 Speaker 16: of injury problems and then he became known as a 1898 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,240 Speaker 16: guy that can play you know, allwards of eighty two 1899 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,879 Speaker 16: games these past few seasons. So talking to him earlier 1900 01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:27,840 Speaker 16: in the year, he was saying, you know, it's about 1901 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:32,280 Speaker 16: keeping your routine consistent. And while he did stress that 1902 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 16: he's been impressed with Zion Williamson's work behind the scenes. 1903 01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,479 Speaker 16: He did stress that it's one thing to show it 1904 01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,840 Speaker 16: one day, but you have to be very consistent every 1905 01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 16: single day. But you know what, beyond that, you basically 1906 01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:48,920 Speaker 16: have the whole league cover. That's why this weekly segment 1907 01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 16: is so enjoyable with you. 1908 01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:51,280 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you brought. 1909 01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 2: Up Kevon Looney because he's always been one of my favorites. 1910 01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:57,240 Speaker 2: He got a full minute standing ovation. He was a 1911 01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:00,920 Speaker 2: first rounder ten years ago. Remember Golden State just won 1912 01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,160 Speaker 2: a championship in twenty twenty two. He played all eighty 1913 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 2: two games that season, and I think he was a 1914 01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:10,720 Speaker 2: key cog in that championship season. But he played the 1915 01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:13,320 Speaker 2: game the right way and was a fan favorite. Speaking 1916 01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,120 Speaker 2: of fan favorites, this we'll wrap it up on this one. 1917 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,759 Speaker 2: What in the hell happened to John Moran? 1918 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:21,720 Speaker 3: Three years ago? They were talking about him being the 1919 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:27,519 Speaker 3: face of the league. What to take it, He's going 1920 01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:29,320 Speaker 3: to be working at a cookie factory to. 1921 01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:31,559 Speaker 16: Be well, he won't be the face of the league. 1922 01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:37,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, what what happened? Really? What in the world happened 1923 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:37,559 Speaker 3: to this guy? 1924 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:40,920 Speaker 16: Yeah? Well, I've been able to stay healthy, so that's 1925 01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,720 Speaker 16: point number one, but point number two, when he's been 1926 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,240 Speaker 16: on the court, he hasn't been able to adjust to 1927 01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,479 Speaker 16: what the new coaching staff wants. And you know what, 1928 01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 16: as much as in today's NBA a lot of times 1929 01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:56,240 Speaker 16: they cater to the star players, if you're not consistently productive, 1930 01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:01,519 Speaker 16: you're no longer catered to. So I do wonder it's 1931 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:05,080 Speaker 16: gonna be tough because he embodies the Grizzlies skin of 1932 01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 16: the Memphis community. They really love him for, you know, 1933 01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:11,600 Speaker 16: being a franchise guy that's really embraced the city. But 1934 01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:14,560 Speaker 16: when you're looking at his maturity issues, you know, with 1935 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,439 Speaker 16: the off the court stuff, with the gun, his episodes 1936 01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:21,960 Speaker 16: of Instagram Live, and his poor attitude this season, it's 1937 01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,080 Speaker 16: going to be a really tough decision. It's disappointing because 1938 01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:28,280 Speaker 16: I know, talking to people in the Grizzlies organization after 1939 01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:31,439 Speaker 16: his mistakes, when he had the lengthy suspension for his 1940 01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:34,160 Speaker 16: off the court behavior, they would say, you know what, 1941 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 16: he's in more controit. His work habits are great. He's 1942 01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:42,240 Speaker 16: a great teammate, but he's really he's really not doing 1943 01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:45,760 Speaker 16: himself a disservice by being a distracted with the team. 1944 01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:47,559 Speaker 16: With the way he's conducted himself this year. 1945 01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:51,280 Speaker 2: Well, even on the floor, the last sixty three pointers 1946 01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:53,519 Speaker 2: he's attempted, he's missed fifty of them. 1947 01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:55,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, those are real numbers. 1948 01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:57,840 Speaker 2: I always got a cafe injury. Now he's not playing, 1949 01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:03,400 Speaker 2: but sixty three pointers made, ten and no folks were 1950 01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:07,200 Speaker 2: not talking about Brownie James. Good night, Mark. 1951 01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 3: I always appreciate you.

But then 1995 01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,240 Speaker 2: al Davis hired him at thirty one as the head 1996 01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:24,000 Speaker 2: coach of the Raiders in January will seven. 1997 01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:27,240 Speaker 3: It didn't take long for those two to go at 1998 01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:28,640 Speaker 3: it like I Cantina. 1999 01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:32,519 Speaker 2: Turner facts facts. He was four and twelve his first year, 2000 01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:36,720 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin. Al Davis asked him to resign after year one. 2001 01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:41,040 Speaker 2: Kiffin refused, and I don't know what happened after that, 2002 01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:44,080 Speaker 2: except I do know this. The second season got off 2003 01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:46,799 Speaker 2: to even worse start. He went one to three. Kiffend 2004 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,840 Speaker 2: did his first four games, and by mid September al 2005 01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:54,559 Speaker 2: Davis knew let everybody know he was unhappy with Kiffin, 2006 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:59,200 Speaker 2: and on September thirtieth, he fired. Al Davis fired Lane 2007 01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:02,559 Speaker 2: Kiffin over the phone. He's tenure with the Raiders five 2008 01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:05,599 Speaker 2: and fifteen with Oakland, over twenty games as a head. 2009 01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:09,080 Speaker 3: Coach, and he took over. You know, that's that opened 2010 01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:10,639 Speaker 3: the door for Tom Cable. 2011 01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:16,000 Speaker 2: But what was incredibly noteworthy and infamous al Davis had 2012 01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:20,280 Speaker 2: a one hour press conference after he fired Lane Kiffin, 2013 01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 2: and he completely went scorched to earth on Lane Kiffin. 2014 01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:28,360 Speaker 2: This is just a sample snippet as to what al 2015 01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,400 Speaker 2: Davis said at that press conference. 2016 01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:32,799 Speaker 3: And these are quotes. 2017 01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:33,719 Speaker 13: Quote. 2018 01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:36,280 Speaker 2: I reached a point where I felt the whole staff 2019 01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:39,920 Speaker 2: was fractionalized. The best thing to do was get this 2020 01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,599 Speaker 2: thing to get all right, let me try that again 2021 01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:45,640 Speaker 2: in English. The best thing to do to get this 2022 01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,840 Speaker 2: thing back was to make a change. Al Davis said 2023 01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:52,719 Speaker 2: as he opened up, it hurts because quote, I picked 2024 01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:56,679 Speaker 2: the guy. I picked the wrong guy. At one point, 2025 01:40:57,080 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 2: al Davis read a letter that he said to his 2026 01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:05,000 Speaker 2: former coach that detailed mistakes kiff had made on and 2027 01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:08,320 Speaker 2: off the field. Al Davis went on to say he 2028 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:15,160 Speaker 2: finally fired Kiffen for cause because quote, he disgraced the organization, 2029 01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:20,040 Speaker 2: setting a variety of issues, including conflicts over personnel moves. 2030 01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:23,519 Speaker 2: Alright Lives to the media all quoting dal Davis, he said, quote, 2031 01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:25,280 Speaker 2: I don't think it was one thing. It was a 2032 01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:30,880 Speaker 2: cumulative thing. I think the pattern just disturbed me. It 2033 01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:35,320 Speaker 2: went to arbitration, and an arbitrator upheld Kiffin's firing for cause, 2034 01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,599 Speaker 2: which meant al Davis did not have to pay Lane 2035 01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:41,840 Speaker 2: Kiffin the remainder of his salary. He'd signed a three year, 2036 01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:47,640 Speaker 2: six million dollars deal in two thousand and seven. Afterward 2037 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:52,360 Speaker 2: he left Tennessee in the dust. He returned to college. 2038 01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,320 Speaker 2: Why did Kiffin lead Tennessee? Well, I'm going to get 2039 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:58,200 Speaker 2: to that in a minute, and now that ended in 2040 01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:02,280 Speaker 2: a complete dumpster fire. First, hey, we are eight hours 2041 01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:05,120 Speaker 2: and thirty minutes away from NFL Sunday. 2042 01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:08,000 Speaker 3: It's time for the Fantasy Files. 2043 01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:15,840 Speaker 4: Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch, your go to fantasy football segment. 2044 01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:16,559 Speaker 11: Are you got one? 2045 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:21,200 Speaker 23: God? Welcome to Fantasy Files. I'm Brandon Deutsch and we 2046 01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,400 Speaker 23: have to win our matchups this week. This is a 2047 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:26,040 Speaker 23: pivotal week. We got playoffs in a lot of leagues 2048 01:42:26,479 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 23: next week, and this is the time to really lock 2049 01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:32,880 Speaker 23: in and play the guys that you have the most 2050 01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,160 Speaker 23: confidence in. I know in one league, I sat Roma 2051 01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:38,639 Speaker 23: Doonze for the Friday night game or Friday the day game. 2052 01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:40,479 Speaker 23: Actually I might as well just call it the Black 2053 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,840 Speaker 23: Friday game because it was not at night. But Roma 2054 01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 23: Dunze only had a few fantasy points. I figured against 2055 01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:49,639 Speaker 23: a really stout Eagles defense, he would not be great, 2056 01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:52,280 Speaker 23: and I slotted in Khalil Shakir, so that's gonna be 2057 01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:54,840 Speaker 23: our first lineup lock of the week. Shakier is coming 2058 01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,120 Speaker 23: off of back to back very good games led the 2059 01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:59,439 Speaker 23: Bills and target share last week, and he's going to 2060 01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:02,439 Speaker 23: against the Pitts defense in ranks bottom five in the 2061 01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:06,360 Speaker 23: entire NFL guys, So this is a guy that should 2062 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,519 Speaker 23: get at least fifteen fantasy point flour. I think Josh 2063 01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:11,479 Speaker 23: Allen he always has big games after he has a 2064 01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:12,840 Speaker 23: stinker of the previous week. 2065 01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:14,840 Speaker 1: He's still in the MVP race. 2066 01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:16,960 Speaker 23: Say what you want. I know Matt Stafford, Drake May, 2067 01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 23: and Dak Prescott are probably at the top of that 2068 01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,559 Speaker 23: list because Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and jamieer Gibbs are 2069 01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,720 Speaker 23: not included in JSN because they're not quarterbacks. It's a 2070 01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,800 Speaker 23: quarterback award. But Josh Allen could still very much win 2071 01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:30,960 Speaker 23: this award if he goes on and has a huge 2072 01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:34,080 Speaker 23: few games coming up. I would also start Lad mccaukey 2073 01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:35,840 Speaker 23: against the Raiders. The Raiders have one of the worst 2074 01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:37,400 Speaker 23: teams in the league. I know a lot of people 2075 01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:39,760 Speaker 23: would say, oh, their defense is better than their offense. Well, 2076 01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:43,639 Speaker 23: you can't compare atrociousness with atrociousness. They suck all around 2077 01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:47,000 Speaker 23: right now. The players are not bought in. They're playing 2078 01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:49,240 Speaker 23: for the first overall pick. I don't think they want 2079 01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:49,920 Speaker 23: to win this game. 2080 01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:50,439 Speaker 14: I don't. 2081 01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:53,400 Speaker 23: I think that Lad mccauckey's still the wide receiver one 2082 01:43:53,479 --> 01:43:55,400 Speaker 23: on the Chargers and going to have a big game 2083 01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,120 Speaker 23: coming off of their bye week. I would sit Michael 2084 01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:01,800 Speaker 23: Pittman Junior against Houston. Love this matchup. Houston has been 2085 01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:04,200 Speaker 23: the best defense in all football all season long, but 2086 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:06,920 Speaker 23: especially the last five weeks. They haven't allowed more than 2087 01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:09,080 Speaker 23: one hundred and fifty passing yards per game. So I 2088 01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:11,360 Speaker 23: just don't trust any of the pass catchers for the 2089 01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:14,439 Speaker 23: Colts right now. I would also sit Ricky Piersall against 2090 01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:15,880 Speaker 23: Cleveland and pains me because I thought he would have 2091 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:17,479 Speaker 23: a big week. He gets the Panther's team that plays 2092 01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:19,800 Speaker 23: a lot of zone. Party typically kills zone. But when 2093 01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:22,960 Speaker 23: they played the game, they saw Ayuk's not playing party. 2094 01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:24,080 Speaker 3: Can't beat man coverage. 2095 01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,760 Speaker 23: Let's play man coverage the entire game. Piersall was open, 2096 01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,240 Speaker 23: he got open, he separated, and Piersall was late with 2097 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,680 Speaker 23: those three hitches and through two picks when he was 2098 01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,639 Speaker 23: targeting Pearsall. So we can't trust him against the Cleveland 2099 01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:36,479 Speaker 23: Browns defense that only gives up one hundred and seventy 2100 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,920 Speaker 23: point two passing yards per game, which is second in 2101 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:42,760 Speaker 23: the NFL behind Houston. So I'm sitting Ricky Pearsall. I'm 2102 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:45,200 Speaker 23: also sitting Juwan Jennings in this game. If the Niners 2103 01:44:45,240 --> 01:44:46,800 Speaker 23: want to win this game, they got to control the clock. 2104 01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:49,280 Speaker 23: They get a run with Christian McCaffrey, with Brian Robinson Junior. 2105 01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:51,599 Speaker 23: I do like George Kittle still because he will get 2106 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:53,200 Speaker 23: a lot of checkdowns. I think he gets eight or 2107 01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:57,400 Speaker 23: nine catches. I really really really like in this game 2108 01:44:57,479 --> 01:44:59,759 Speaker 23: Quinn Shawn Jenkins. I know the forty nine ers Brenden 2109 01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:02,400 Speaker 23: Butter is their run defense versus their pass defense ninth 2110 01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:05,200 Speaker 23: against the run. I just don't trust a young quarterback 2111 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,519 Speaker 23: and Shure Sanders in this game to really make things happen, 2112 01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:11,120 Speaker 23: even against the twenty sixth ranked pass defense in all 2113 01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:13,560 Speaker 23: of football, especially after last week Wednesday finally got some 2114 01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:16,280 Speaker 23: turnovers against Bryce Young, who right now is a better 2115 01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,920 Speaker 23: quarterback than Shador Sanders. Shaudor is only played one game 2116 01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:20,920 Speaker 23: and it was against the Raiders, So was it really 2117 01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:21,800 Speaker 23: a football game? 2118 01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:22,040 Speaker 20: Right? 2119 01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:24,040 Speaker 23: Like, we got to ask ourselves out. When you play 2120 01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:26,920 Speaker 23: the Raiders right now, that is like playing a CFL 2121 01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,320 Speaker 23: team that is not an NFL team right as we speak, 2122 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,840 Speaker 23: it's like playing the Titans, right I can't judge somebody 2123 01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:34,280 Speaker 23: off of playing the Titans or Raiders. This is where 2124 01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:36,120 Speaker 23: we can really judge stuor Sanders. I think they'll lean 2125 01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:38,600 Speaker 23: on quinch On Judkins. I think they he will have 2126 01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:41,799 Speaker 23: a pretty big game, get a touchdown, probably sixteen seventeen, 2127 01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:43,599 Speaker 23: eighteen carries. I think this will be a closer game 2128 01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:46,640 Speaker 23: than people think. I would start Stefan Diggs against the 2129 01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:49,479 Speaker 23: New York Giants. I think Drake may is a huge game. 2130 01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,200 Speaker 23: And now I'm not that he played bad last week. 2131 01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,960 Speaker 23: He had fifteen Fantasy points. I do expect the Giants 2132 01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,600 Speaker 23: to be exploited, especially that pass defense is horrible, just 2133 01:45:57,680 --> 01:45:59,960 Speaker 23: a horrible pass defense. Stefan should have a big game, 2134 01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,400 Speaker 23: and of course Hunter Henry, if you're starting a tight 2135 01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:04,320 Speaker 23: end need a streamer, I would start him too. He 2136 01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,320 Speaker 23: should have a pretty big game. I'd sit Quinn Johnson 2137 01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,320 Speaker 23: against the Raiders. Now I know the Raiders suck, but 2138 01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 23: also Quinn and Johnson hasn't done anything in the weeks. 2139 01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:14,040 Speaker 3: He did legit Cardio. 2140 01:46:13,760 --> 01:46:17,040 Speaker 23: Before the bye week zero fantasy points, and Lad McConkey, 2141 01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,160 Speaker 23: Ronde gatst And, and Keenan Allen are ahead of him 2142 01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,040 Speaker 23: on the depth chart. So to me, I don't see 2143 01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:22,720 Speaker 23: an avenue where Quinn and Johnson has a big game 2144 01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:24,920 Speaker 23: unless he gets a touchdown, which I just don't think 2145 01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:28,479 Speaker 23: is likely this week. I would also make sure to 2146 01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:31,759 Speaker 23: start Troy Franklin against watching Troy Franklin has almost double 2147 01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,280 Speaker 23: the targets of any other wide receiver pass catcher in 2148 01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:36,519 Speaker 23: the team combined in the last four games for the 2149 01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:39,799 Speaker 23: Denver Broncos. Bo Nix and Troy Franklin played together at Oregon. 2150 01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:42,200 Speaker 23: They have a rapport that you just can't teach. He's 2151 01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:44,320 Speaker 23: been the one on this team, not Courtland Sutton. I'm 2152 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,560 Speaker 23: not saying sid Courland Sutton, but I think you have 2153 01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:49,040 Speaker 23: to start Troy Franklin at this part. At this point 2154 01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,800 Speaker 23: in the season, he's averaging twelve Fantasy points. The last 2155 01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:53,800 Speaker 23: few games. He's gotten eight plus tarks, every single one 2156 01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:55,920 Speaker 23: of them. Make sure to start Travis etn against the 2157 01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:58,400 Speaker 23: Tennessee Titans twenty fifth ranked run defense. Eten should have 2158 01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:00,680 Speaker 23: a huge game really like he did last week with 2159 01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:02,400 Speaker 23: those two touchdowns. I mean, he's been great all year 2160 01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:05,479 Speaker 23: fifteen fantasy point average. I would sit Aaron Jones against 2161 01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,160 Speaker 23: the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle as a top five run defense. 2162 01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,639 Speaker 23: Aaron Jones has been bad all year, and I would 2163 01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:12,519 Speaker 23: actually start even if he's on a little bit of 2164 01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:16,200 Speaker 23: a snapcount Bucky your being against Arizona. He's just too explosive, 2165 01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:18,719 Speaker 23: too much of a playmaker to keep on your bench. 2166 01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:20,400 Speaker 23: You have to kind of put him in, especially if 2167 01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,120 Speaker 23: for trying to get into the playoffs. And I would 2168 01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:24,799 Speaker 23: sit Tony Pollard because I think it's the opposite of upside. 2169 01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:26,639 Speaker 23: He's a lock it in eight to nine fantasy points. 2170 01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:28,559 Speaker 23: You don't need that. You don't need that. The difference 2171 01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:30,840 Speaker 23: is typically fifteen. You want your flex or your RB 2172 01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:33,599 Speaker 23: two to get fourteen or fifteen fantasy points. So that's 2173 01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,639 Speaker 23: where I would lean Tony Pollard there. I'd start jailing 2174 01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:39,400 Speaker 23: warning against Buffalo great pass defense. Buffalo does not have 2175 01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:40,840 Speaker 23: a good run defense this year, And I would sit 2176 01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:44,599 Speaker 23: Formondre Stevenson against the New York Giants. Just because Trevion 2177 01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:47,320 Speaker 23: is the guy out snapped mondre by a ton last week. 2178 01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:50,280 Speaker 23: Let me know what you guys think. Make sure to 2179 01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:52,760 Speaker 23: check me out at BSD takes on x, Brandon s 2180 01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:56,080 Speaker 23: Deutsch on TikTok, and Bran Deutsch on YouTube. Back to 2181 01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:57,719 Speaker 23: the Bernie Fradershow let's win our matchups? 2182 01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:01,599 Speaker 2: Baby, Yeah, it is the last one before the playoffs start. 2183 01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:05,080 Speaker 2: I know my son's got a big weekend. If he 2184 01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:08,360 Speaker 2: wins this weekend, he will he will finish in first 2185 01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:10,959 Speaker 2: place and ta get up by adding into the playoffs. 2186 01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:14,519 Speaker 3: So this big stuff, but also big stuff. 2187 01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:20,560 Speaker 2: Let's go back to the Lane Kiffen debacle timeline of controversy. 2188 01:48:20,680 --> 01:48:21,360 Speaker 3: So up next. 2189 01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 2: After the Raiders, Kiffen went to Tennessee, where he lasted 2190 01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:30,960 Speaker 2: all of thirteen games one season, thirteen games. He was 2191 01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:34,839 Speaker 2: seven and six, but he accepted the head coaching position 2192 01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:39,960 Speaker 2: at USC quality it his dream job. Timing again the 2193 01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:43,840 Speaker 2: worst less than a month before National signing Day. It 2194 01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:48,280 Speaker 2: cost significant fan outrage. There are all kinds of student protests, 2195 01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:51,800 Speaker 2: mattresses being set on fire, and chance of. 2196 01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:57,920 Speaker 3: Fu Kiffin. You could hear it all around the city. 2197 01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:00,240 Speaker 3: So what was up with that? 2198 01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:05,320 Speaker 2: Why did Lane kiffen leave Tennessee, and by the way, 2199 01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:11,160 Speaker 2: he replaced longtime Tennessee coach Philip Follmer. Foemer had been 2200 01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:15,040 Speaker 2: in Knoxville for a couple of decades, won a national 2201 01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:20,920 Speaker 2: title in nineteen ninety eight, and he was beloved. Kiffin 2202 01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:25,800 Speaker 2: was a debacle debacle, and he described why did they 2203 01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:29,679 Speaker 2: leave Tennessee. He described US as his dream job. Why well, 2204 01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:33,559 Speaker 2: he'd been there six years a decade earlier as an 2205 01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:39,679 Speaker 2: assistant coach under Pete Carroll. He considered Pete Carroll his mentor, 2206 01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:43,720 Speaker 2: and replacing his longtime mentor he believed was too good 2207 01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:47,280 Speaker 2: of an opportunity to pass up. He said Coote, I 2208 01:49:47,320 --> 01:49:51,240 Speaker 2: felt like I loved the time at Kent Tennessee, but 2209 01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:53,479 Speaker 2: I love the people there. But I just can't watch 2210 01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,200 Speaker 2: USC for years on TV and say, man, I had 2211 01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,640 Speaker 2: that job and said no, And whether I was right 2212 01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,439 Speaker 2: or wrong, that's just how I So Lane Kiffin does 2213 01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:06,640 Speaker 2: what Lane Kiffin wants next up on the on the 2214 01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:12,639 Speaker 2: on the Debacle Tree. Yes, we'll go to Alabama and yes, 2215 01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:16,639 Speaker 2: or check that, check that we're not done with the USC. 2216 01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:17,200 Speaker 14: He hasn't. 2217 01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:21,719 Speaker 3: We hasn't finished at SC. That ended like a twenty 2218 01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:23,439 Speaker 3: car pile up as well. 2219 01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,639 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie fraddlewor Kemedy line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports 2220 01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:27,320 Speaker 2: Radio Studios. 2221 01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:27,880 Speaker 3: Keep it locked. 2222 01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:30,360 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 2223 01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:34,000 Speaker 2: All right, back at the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports 2224 01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:37,360 Speaker 2: Radio Company.

So, we told you what happened when he 2238 01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:19,680 Speaker 2: got to the Raiders and left the Raiders. Told you 2239 01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:23,920 Speaker 2: what happened when he left Tennessee and went to his 2240 01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:29,360 Speaker 2: dream job, USA USC. Excuse me, Yeah, it didn't take long. Well, 2241 01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:33,080 Speaker 2: he's five games into the twenty thirteen season, Lane Kiffin 2242 01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:36,760 Speaker 2: was famously fired by then athletic director Pat Hayden at 2243 01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,400 Speaker 2: Lax Airport after the team returned from getting blown out 2244 01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:44,320 Speaker 2: by Arizona State, given up forty three points. The event 2245 01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:48,080 Speaker 2: is referred to as quote the tarmac firing, and that 2246 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,400 Speaker 2: may some people say that may have been the lowest 2247 01:51:51,479 --> 01:52:00,360 Speaker 2: point of Lane Kiffin's career because even though that got 2248 01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:03,759 Speaker 2: blown out and the team was three and two, Kiffin 2249 01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:06,880 Speaker 2: was very surprised that he got fired. He tried to 2250 01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:10,720 Speaker 2: make the case to Pat Hayden to keep him. It 2251 01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:15,719 Speaker 2: didn't happen, USC and the leadership had already made their decision. 2252 01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:20,840 Speaker 2: Kiffin ends up getting fired and who took over an 2253 01:52:20,920 --> 01:52:24,160 Speaker 2: interim coach at Orgeron and in the remainder of the season, 2254 01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:27,639 Speaker 2: as he started out three and two, he was actually 2255 01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:34,439 Speaker 2: six and two. A footnote from that this seems like 2256 01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:38,040 Speaker 2: a pittance compared to the biots these days, but according 2257 01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:42,720 Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Times, USC paid Lane Kiffen two 2258 01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:47,000 Speaker 2: point seven million dollars in twenty fourteen, after a year 2259 01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:49,720 Speaker 2: after he was fired. And the irony is is that 2260 01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:55,360 Speaker 2: Pat Hayden, the sitting athletic director, made two point nine million. 2261 01:52:56,680 --> 01:52:58,439 Speaker 3: The next year the same year. 2262 01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:02,439 Speaker 2: Excuse me, well, after the Raiders are in the books, 2263 01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:05,280 Speaker 2: the Tennessee volunteers are in the books, the USC Trojans 2264 01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:08,639 Speaker 2: are in the books. Could it be he even runs 2265 01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:11,680 Speaker 2: a file a Nick Saban and Alabama was doing well, 2266 01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:16,200 Speaker 2: so he become Kiffin kind of rehabilitated his career much 2267 01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:17,960 Speaker 2: the same way Steve Sarkisky did. 2268 01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:19,120 Speaker 3: Saban does that. 2269 01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:28,240 Speaker 2: Kiffen joins Alabama as Saban's offensive coordinator. But again, once again, 2270 01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:33,439 Speaker 2: it was another tenure that it did very abruptly. A 2271 01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:41,400 Speaker 2: week before the twenty seventeen National championship game, Saban dismissed Kiffin, 2272 01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:45,280 Speaker 2: reportedly due to concerns that Kiffin was distracted by his 2273 01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:49,040 Speaker 2: new head coaching job that he'd already accepted at FAU. 2274 01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:53,800 Speaker 2: So again, not there very long two years and in 2275 01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:56,920 Speaker 2: about two you know, eighty percent of the next season, 2276 01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:01,240 Speaker 2: and interestingly enough, they had success the Okay Obama won 2277 01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:06,320 Speaker 2: the national title in twenty fifteen, and Kiffin presided over 2278 01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 2: multiple Alabama quarterbacks, including Jalen Hurts. But again, Kiffin's exit 2279 01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:17,439 Speaker 2: from Alabama during the twenty six the twenty sixteen season 2280 01:54:17,960 --> 01:54:21,439 Speaker 2: once again was not smooth see because in early December 2281 01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:24,640 Speaker 2: south from Ayer, he accepted the head coaching job at 2282 01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:28,960 Speaker 2: Florida Atlantic while continuing to want to lead Alabama's offense 2283 01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:33,320 Speaker 2: as they prepared to face Washington in the semi finals 2284 01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:35,760 Speaker 2: that year in the Peach Bowl. Now Alabama ended up 2285 01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:38,920 Speaker 2: beating Washington twenty four to seven, and it was Kiffin's 2286 01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:46,320 Speaker 2: plan to split time between both jobs, but just about 2287 01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:50,960 Speaker 2: a week before the National championship game against Clemson later 2288 01:54:51,080 --> 01:54:54,120 Speaker 2: that month, Lane Kiffin simply announced he would leave the 2289 01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:58,040 Speaker 2: team to focus on Florida Atlantic, and he was quoted 2290 01:54:58,080 --> 01:55:00,560 Speaker 2: as saying, coach and I we I had some time 2291 01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:04,520 Speaker 2: together at the office, game planning in Atlanta, and then 2292 01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:07,640 Speaker 2: again this morning, just bouncing some things around. I thought 2293 01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:10,320 Speaker 2: doing both jobs would be easier. But as I looked 2294 01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:12,440 Speaker 2: at it, I rewatched the game a couple times and thought, 2295 01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:13,680 Speaker 2: I don't think we played great. 2296 01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:16,720 Speaker 3: Now those things happened. We still did some good things. 2297 01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:19,640 Speaker 2: We ran the ball well, turn it over, call blah 2298 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:23,880 Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah, just just gibberish, okay, But at 2299 01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:28,200 Speaker 2: the end of the day, Kiffin left. Kiffin left, okay, 2300 01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:34,280 Speaker 2: And on January second, twenty seventeen, I think he was 2301 01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:41,200 Speaker 2: director of Communications. Josh Maxon at Alabama issued the following 2302 01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:43,640 Speaker 2: press release, and this is worth hearing. 2303 01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:46,280 Speaker 3: Okay, I won't do the whole thing, but enough of it. 2304 01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:51,800 Speaker 2: Dateline January second, twenty seventeen, TUSCA loose Alabama. University of 2305 01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:55,800 Speaker 2: Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced Monday that incoming offensive 2306 01:55:55,840 --> 01:56:00,680 Speaker 2: coordinator Steve Sarkisian will assume his duties in advance of 2307 01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:05,680 Speaker 2: the upcoming College Football Playoff National Championship Game. We appreciate 2308 01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:07,880 Speaker 2: all that Land has done for our football program over 2309 01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:11,680 Speaker 2: the last three years. We sat down following the Washington 2310 01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:16,600 Speaker 2: game and talked about the time demands of managing both jobs. 2311 01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:21,080 Speaker 2: We recognize it's best for our players and for Lane, 2312 01:56:21,200 --> 01:56:23,800 Speaker 2: we allow him to turn his full attention to his 2313 01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:27,839 Speaker 2: new head coaching role at FIU. This wasn't an easy decision, 2314 01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,440 Speaker 2: and we appreciate the way Laying handle it in terms 2315 01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:33,200 Speaker 2: of doing what is best for our team. At the 2316 01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:35,080 Speaker 2: end of the day, both of us wanted our players 2317 01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:37,640 Speaker 2: in the best position to be successful. Obviously, we are 2318 01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:39,040 Speaker 2: in a unique situation here. 2319 01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:40,000 Speaker 3: We have our next. 2320 01:56:40,280 --> 01:56:43,680 Speaker 2: Offensive coordator already on staff. We have full confidence that 2321 01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:46,840 Speaker 2: sark will step in right away and make make this 2322 01:56:46,960 --> 01:56:51,160 Speaker 2: a smooth transition after going through these Okay, same, it's 2323 01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:53,360 Speaker 2: it's mischie goas so long, and the short of it 2324 01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:56,440 Speaker 2: is Nick Saban because of the professional guy he is 2325 01:56:56,560 --> 01:57:04,280 Speaker 2: handle it very professionally and without a lot of the 2326 01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:06,920 Speaker 2: craziness that you're hearing right now. But you can't tell 2327 01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:10,040 Speaker 2: me that that ended well. You can't tell me that 2328 01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:13,920 Speaker 2: that was a comfortable situation. They're getting ready to play 2329 01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:16,000 Speaker 2: for the National championship. I know there's no easy way 2330 01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:18,880 Speaker 2: to do these things, But how does a guy like 2331 01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:23,240 Speaker 2: you know, Kaylin de Borr manage to leave Washington fairly well, 2332 01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:26,920 Speaker 2: seamlessly and end up with you know, Alabama. 2333 01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:29,200 Speaker 3: I think it can be done. 2334 01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:32,880 Speaker 2: Not every one of these departures ends up with an 2335 01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,200 Speaker 2: f U kiffen like he heard at Tennessee, or a 2336 01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:41,920 Speaker 2: pretty damning firing on the tarmac at USC by Pat Hayden, 2337 01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:46,520 Speaker 2: a very respective guy, former quarterback on very good USC 2338 01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:49,040 Speaker 2: teams and quarterback of the Rams who helped get a 2339 01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:51,920 Speaker 2: team to the Super Bowl in nineteen eighty, or the 2340 01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:56,640 Speaker 2: situation with Al Davis. You would think that Lann Kiffin's career, 2341 01:57:57,280 --> 01:57:59,520 Speaker 2: I mean, it started out so promising and by the way, 2342 01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:03,840 Speaker 2: he's a son Monti Kiffin, a very respected coordinator in 2343 01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:06,560 Speaker 2: the National Football League, the first ever a million dollar coordinator. 2344 01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:09,480 Speaker 2: He's no longer with us. I'm told Monte Kiffin in 2345 01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:12,480 Speaker 2: his career had fifteen jobs. This is no Lane Kiffin's 2346 01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:17,200 Speaker 2: ninth job. And what's going to happen to Old Miss 2347 01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:20,280 Speaker 2: I really don't know. He may win there. 2348 01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:22,920 Speaker 3: I just think it's a He's. 2349 01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:27,160 Speaker 2: Going to be walking in to the biggest hot firestorm 2350 01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:32,160 Speaker 2: in the history of college football. It's tough down there, man, 2351 01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:37,200 Speaker 2: it's really tough. Saban left after winning a national championship. 2352 01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:40,880 Speaker 2: Les Miles was fired after winning a national championship. At 2353 01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,280 Speaker 2: Orgeron was fired after winning a national championship. 2354 01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:45,160 Speaker 3: They didn't even wait for. 2355 01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:50,480 Speaker 2: You know, the current coach, don't even mean you mentioned 2356 01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:55,920 Speaker 2: his name, the Southern accent, Brian Kelly, didn't wait for 2357 01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:57,080 Speaker 2: his fourth year to finish. 2358 01:58:57,400 --> 01:59:00,480 Speaker 3: So he's walking into a firestorm. We'll see what happens. 2359 01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:02,080 Speaker 2: Coming up, we take you out to Ohio State with 2360 01:59:02,160 --> 01:59:05,000 Speaker 2: Columbus Don Let's talk about what it looked like from 2361 01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:07,400 Speaker 2: the Buckeyes perspective.

Don, 2373 01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:40,800 Speaker 2: Good morning, Thanks for getting up early as usual. 2374 01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:43,919 Speaker 7: Good morning to you as well, Bernie, thanks again. 2375 01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:46,000 Speaker 3: For having I appreciate it. 2376 01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:55,040 Speaker 2: Obviously, Ohio State completely outmanned, outclassed, out coached Michigan on Saturday. 2377 01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,120 Speaker 2: I want to kind of come in from left field. 2378 01:59:58,600 --> 02:00:02,320 Speaker 2: Before the game. Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports said, I 2379 02:00:02,440 --> 02:00:04,440 Speaker 2: know a nervous man when I see him, Ryan Davis, 2380 02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:07,200 Speaker 2: Bryan Day looks nervous. Actually, I thought you were and 2381 02:00:07,280 --> 02:00:10,000 Speaker 2: more look nervous. What was your what were your thoughts 2382 02:00:10,080 --> 02:00:13,400 Speaker 2: if you could remember what they were right before kickoff? 2383 02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:17,520 Speaker 7: Well, I got to say that Portnoy has become one 2384 02:00:17,560 --> 02:00:20,800 Speaker 7: of the most hated men in Columbus. Out there. He 2385 02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:27,200 Speaker 7: certainly has been a real Michigan booster, and so, you 2386 02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:31,080 Speaker 7: know whatever, we believe that they handled this in a 2387 02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:35,520 Speaker 7: very professional manner, very adult. Frankly, there's more of a 2388 02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:40,720 Speaker 7: sense of relief than there is exultation about winning the game. 2389 02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:45,680 Speaker 7: So it's again, they handled this in a very professional manner. 2390 02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:49,160 Speaker 7: They move on, and so there there was obviously a 2391 02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:52,680 Speaker 7: lot of nervousness before the game. You could tell that, 2392 02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:55,960 Speaker 7: you know, it's a big deal here in Columbus when 2393 02:00:55,960 --> 02:00:59,680 Speaker 7: they play Michigan. It's all the other games combined, aren't 2394 02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:02,920 Speaker 7: as it don't cause as much anxiety as the Michigan 2395 02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:04,560 Speaker 7: Michigan as well. 2396 02:01:04,640 --> 02:01:07,000 Speaker 2: I certainly know that I covered fourteen of those while 2397 02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:08,680 Speaker 2: I was a resident of Michigan and then. 2398 02:01:09,040 --> 02:01:11,280 Speaker 3: With WTT and CCBs radio. 2399 02:01:12,440 --> 02:01:16,280 Speaker 2: Here's what I don't get, because it's become beyond silly, 2400 02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:21,160 Speaker 2: the credit that Ryan Day just doesn't get. You know, 2401 02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:24,160 Speaker 2: don heading into the season, Ohio State lost eight players 2402 02:01:24,160 --> 02:01:29,040 Speaker 2: of the NFL. You lost your entire defensive line, both coordinators. 2403 02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:33,040 Speaker 2: And since losing the Michigan day sixteen to zero, he's 2404 02:01:33,080 --> 02:01:36,120 Speaker 2: beaten Tennessee, who was ranked seventh, Oregon at one point, 2405 02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:39,360 Speaker 2: who was first Texas first, Penn State third, Notre Dame fifth, 2406 02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:42,880 Speaker 2: won a national championship and run the table this year. 2407 02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:46,800 Speaker 2: What kind of respect does Ryan Day get inside the 2408 02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:48,080 Speaker 2: average tower at Columbus. 2409 02:01:48,920 --> 02:01:51,400 Speaker 7: Well, you know, you and I and all of our 2410 02:01:51,480 --> 02:01:55,720 Speaker 7: listeners heard what Saban said about people in Columbus needing 2411 02:01:55,800 --> 02:01:58,960 Speaker 7: some help relatives to the anxiety that's created. 2412 02:01:58,680 --> 02:01:59,520 Speaker 14: For the Michigan game. 2413 02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:02,720 Speaker 7: It's, uh, you know, let's say it's the biggest game 2414 02:02:02,720 --> 02:02:04,400 Speaker 7: of the year, and it's again, it's more of a 2415 02:02:04,440 --> 02:02:07,120 Speaker 7: sense of relief and getting that in his review mirror, 2416 02:02:07,160 --> 02:02:09,200 Speaker 7: and now they can move on and not listen to 2417 02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:13,040 Speaker 7: any more Michigan rumors about how he hasn't won and 2418 02:02:13,160 --> 02:02:16,560 Speaker 7: so forth. So it's it's again. It's it's more of 2419 02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:19,440 Speaker 7: a relief and now we can move on and play 2420 02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:22,680 Speaker 7: Indiana next week and uh and hopefully play again for 2421 02:02:22,760 --> 02:02:24,120 Speaker 7: the back to back time. 2422 02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:27,000 Speaker 3: Uh don uh. 2423 02:02:27,240 --> 02:02:30,840 Speaker 2: I joked in my opening monologue that perhaps Michigan's best 2424 02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:33,720 Speaker 2: defensive stand was when they formed a wall around the 2425 02:02:33,800 --> 02:02:37,480 Speaker 2: block m at midfield, as if Ohio State was going 2426 02:02:37,560 --> 02:02:40,120 Speaker 2: to plant the flag the same way Michigan did last 2427 02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:44,440 Speaker 2: year in Columbus. I thought Ryan Day handled it really well. 2428 02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:46,520 Speaker 2: And and so I think Seril mor did as well. 2429 02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:49,120 Speaker 2: But what were your thoughts on that? Did Michigan look. 2430 02:02:49,080 --> 02:02:49,600 Speaker 3: Desperate to you? 2431 02:02:49,720 --> 02:02:52,320 Speaker 2: I mean, what's the what's the takeaway there on Columbus 2432 02:02:52,360 --> 02:02:55,640 Speaker 2: as to the way Michigan conducted themselves, not just losing 2433 02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:58,000 Speaker 2: the game, just sort of the way they conducted themselves 2434 02:02:58,240 --> 02:03:00,760 Speaker 2: with all the extracurriculars and what happened at the end 2435 02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:02,720 Speaker 2: of the game surrounding the block am and not. 2436 02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:03,480 Speaker 3: Leaving the field. 2437 02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:06,440 Speaker 7: You know, we've heard a couple of different rumors about 2438 02:03:06,480 --> 02:03:08,800 Speaker 7: that too. Not only did they circle the block am, 2439 02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:11,200 Speaker 7: but you know we heard as you know, there's only 2440 02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:15,360 Speaker 7: one portal that goes out, that's right, that's right, And 2441 02:03:16,040 --> 02:03:18,840 Speaker 7: you know we heard that Ohio State was jumping up 2442 02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:20,960 Speaker 7: in the stands and having a good time and celebrating 2443 02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,080 Speaker 7: it's over. Then they weren't going to the portal. So 2444 02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:25,680 Speaker 7: therefore Michigan couldn't go in until Ohio State did, so 2445 02:03:25,760 --> 02:03:27,600 Speaker 7: they were just kind of lulling around waiting for Ohio 2446 02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:29,920 Speaker 7: State to go in the portal as well. So that's 2447 02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:31,280 Speaker 7: another rouver that we heard. 2448 02:03:31,400 --> 02:03:35,040 Speaker 2: Oh okay, then I then okay, then then I'm glad 2449 02:03:35,080 --> 02:03:38,320 Speaker 2: you're correcting. That because look, my mom went University of Michigan. 2450 02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:40,200 Speaker 2: I covered that team for a lot of years. I 2451 02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:41,920 Speaker 2: just felt to handle themselves in a bit of an 2452 02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:45,320 Speaker 2: undignified fashion Saturday. But if I'm wrong, this is why 2453 02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:49,440 Speaker 2: we have you on. So is it possible. We know 2454 02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:51,640 Speaker 2: that there are It's the same way at Notre Dame. 2455 02:03:51,720 --> 02:03:54,360 Speaker 2: It's it's clunky, but these old stadiums, you have one 2456 02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:57,520 Speaker 2: portal that both teams have to share coming on the 2457 02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:00,400 Speaker 2: field and coming off the field. Was that basically Michigan 2458 02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:02,280 Speaker 2: wanted to wait till Ohio State left the field first. 2459 02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:05,320 Speaker 7: Well that's that's one of the rumors that we heard. 2460 02:04:05,880 --> 02:04:07,760 Speaker 7: And again, you know, Ohigo State was having a good 2461 02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:09,800 Speaker 7: time jumping up in the stands and so forth that 2462 02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:11,720 Speaker 7: they were going to go out there, and they made 2463 02:04:11,720 --> 02:04:14,280 Speaker 7: it pretty clear to his players before the game, during 2464 02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:16,080 Speaker 7: the game, and even immediately after the game. Look, I 2465 02:04:16,120 --> 02:04:18,440 Speaker 7: don't want this plant to planting of a flag thing. 2466 02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:21,360 Speaker 7: We're not doing that. We want to stand heads and shoulders. 2467 02:04:21,400 --> 02:04:22,960 Speaker 7: We want to Ohio State to be a program that 2468 02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:26,400 Speaker 7: doesn't do that kind of silliness and so forth. So 2469 02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:31,840 Speaker 7: that's entirely possible, But you know it's I'm sure, you know, 2470 02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:35,480 Speaker 7: I'm sure that things came off. The whole day was 2471 02:04:35,560 --> 02:04:37,240 Speaker 7: great for day, so to speak. 2472 02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:40,960 Speaker 2: So we're talking with Don Gessick, our Columbus insider Ohio State. 2473 02:04:41,360 --> 02:04:44,960 Speaker 2: Don most likely and by the way, I think Ohio 2474 02:04:45,080 --> 02:04:47,040 Speaker 2: State will be and as the odds on favorite to 2475 02:04:47,080 --> 02:04:49,760 Speaker 2: win the National championship again, they still. 2476 02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:51,360 Speaker 3: Got to do it. But I got to say, we'll 2477 02:04:51,360 --> 02:04:53,320 Speaker 3: probably have you on again in January right before if 2478 02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:54,760 Speaker 3: they get to the National Championship game. 2479 02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:57,840 Speaker 2: However this this shakes out, but one of the things 2480 02:04:57,880 --> 02:05:01,120 Speaker 2: I want to focus on the Tails quarterbacks. They're both 2481 02:05:01,160 --> 02:05:03,800 Speaker 2: first year starters, they're both freshmen, have three years left 2482 02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:06,320 Speaker 2: of eligibility. We'll see where that goes. 2483 02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:07,320 Speaker 15: Now. 2484 02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:09,520 Speaker 2: I happen to like Bryce under what I think he 2485 02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:12,920 Speaker 2: conducts himself well, but he has not nearly progressed to 2486 02:05:13,040 --> 02:05:15,360 Speaker 2: what we thought in terms of the passing game, and 2487 02:05:15,440 --> 02:05:16,800 Speaker 2: they don't seem to let him do a hell of 2488 02:05:16,880 --> 02:05:19,320 Speaker 2: a lot. They're not getting their twelve million dollars worth 2489 02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:22,240 Speaker 2: that I can see. To this point, What is the 2490 02:05:23,080 --> 02:05:27,320 Speaker 2: honest viewpoint of Bryce Underwood in Columbus. 2491 02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:32,640 Speaker 7: You know, the difference we believe is Brian Hartline, the 2492 02:05:32,720 --> 02:05:36,320 Speaker 7: offensive coordinator for o High State's he's as good an 2493 02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:38,680 Speaker 7: offensive coordinator in college as you're gonna find. He's going 2494 02:05:38,760 --> 02:05:41,600 Speaker 7: to get tons of offers in the offseason for head 2495 02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:45,560 Speaker 7: coaching position. And he brought saying in slowly in the 2496 02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:48,040 Speaker 7: Texas game and then let him throw a few more 2497 02:05:48,120 --> 02:05:49,960 Speaker 7: passes in the next game. In the game after that, 2498 02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:53,200 Speaker 7: he moved him up in an offense that had wide 2499 02:05:53,280 --> 02:05:56,960 Speaker 7: receivers like Kate and Smith, and certainly Michigan didn't have 2500 02:05:57,160 --> 02:06:02,800 Speaker 7: those types of wide receivers. So the offensive situation in 2501 02:06:02,880 --> 02:06:06,360 Speaker 7: the mindset for Michigan was more of a run oriented offense, 2502 02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:09,240 Speaker 7: as you're well aware, whereas Ohio State is swinging it 2503 02:06:09,360 --> 02:06:11,600 Speaker 7: and singing it and Jackson has turned out to be 2504 02:06:11,640 --> 02:06:14,320 Speaker 7: a great running back for them to offset that passing offense. 2505 02:06:14,840 --> 02:06:18,160 Speaker 7: So you know, Underwood, you know, maybe Underwood would have 2506 02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:21,240 Speaker 7: moved along and matured a little bit different if he'd 2507 02:06:21,320 --> 02:06:24,960 Speaker 7: been in Ohio State's offense. But again, Ohio State has 2508 02:06:25,080 --> 02:06:27,880 Speaker 7: an offensive coordinator that's second to none in college. 2509 02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:31,360 Speaker 2: Talking with Don gessigar Ohio State in Saturday, you said 2510 02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:36,560 Speaker 2: something last year about mid season, uh, and I'll never 2511 02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:37,040 Speaker 2: forget it. 2512 02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:37,520 Speaker 3: You said. 2513 02:06:37,600 --> 02:06:41,240 Speaker 2: One of the teams in Ohio State has very much 2514 02:06:41,960 --> 02:06:43,720 Speaker 2: uh that that's really drawn the. 2515 02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:44,760 Speaker 3: Attention of Ohio State. 2516 02:06:44,800 --> 02:06:49,440 Speaker 2: Again, this goes back to this goes back to probably 2517 02:06:49,720 --> 02:06:53,320 Speaker 2: Week five or six last year were the Indiana Hoosiers. 2518 02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:57,200 Speaker 3: So the Buckeyes have the Hoosiers this Saturday. 2519 02:06:57,200 --> 02:07:00,640 Speaker 2: In the Big Ten Championship game. What are your thoughts 2520 02:07:00,720 --> 02:07:02,640 Speaker 2: going into the game. Do you believe this will be 2521 02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:06,400 Speaker 2: Ohio State's toughest challenge? And on a scale of one 2522 02:07:06,480 --> 02:07:11,920 Speaker 2: to ten, how how surprised would you be if, well, 2523 02:07:12,120 --> 02:07:13,560 Speaker 2: you know, Indiana were to pull the upset. 2524 02:07:14,560 --> 02:07:16,120 Speaker 7: You know, it's going to be a fun game. If 2525 02:07:16,160 --> 02:07:18,480 Speaker 7: you're a fan and you have no skin in the game, 2526 02:07:18,720 --> 02:07:20,800 Speaker 7: it's going to be a fun game to watch. Both 2527 02:07:20,960 --> 02:07:23,520 Speaker 7: teams will be winging it and zinging it. You'll see 2528 02:07:23,560 --> 02:07:26,840 Speaker 7: some scoring there. You know, it's an artificial turf, it's indoors, 2529 02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:30,560 Speaker 7: you won't have the elements as a factor. It's going 2530 02:07:30,600 --> 02:07:34,880 Speaker 7: to be fun. And you know, I'm sure that irregardless 2531 02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:37,240 Speaker 7: of who wins that game, you're probably going to be 2532 02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:41,080 Speaker 7: looking at ones and two seeds and so forth. So 2533 02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:43,120 Speaker 7: is it possible Indiana CoA beat? 2534 02:07:43,160 --> 02:07:44,040 Speaker 14: I'm sure sure. 2535 02:07:44,120 --> 02:07:45,320 Speaker 7: I mean they're playing them at home. 2536 02:07:46,040 --> 02:07:47,400 Speaker 3: So well, it's good. 2537 02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:50,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be in Indianapolis, Yes, and inside 2538 02:07:50,480 --> 02:07:54,680 Speaker 2: of dome, perfect conditions, as you say, yeah, look at 2539 02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:57,480 Speaker 2: these things can happen, right, Just a Sile State team 2540 02:07:57,520 --> 02:07:58,840 Speaker 2: looks so buttoned up. One of the things I haven't 2541 02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:02,520 Speaker 2: even talked about is a defense in what Matt Patricia 2542 02:08:02,600 --> 02:08:06,120 Speaker 2: has brought to the fold. They were giving up seven 2543 02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:08,080 Speaker 2: points per game all year. They gave up nine to 2544 02:08:08,200 --> 02:08:11,400 Speaker 2: Michigan on Sunday. But I got to tell you, it 2545 02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:17,040 Speaker 2: feels like Matt Patricia is dialing up defenses and schemes 2546 02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:21,800 Speaker 2: and personnel groupings that are completely confusing college quarterbacks. 2547 02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:23,640 Speaker 3: What's your game planner? What do you expect him to 2548 02:08:23,640 --> 02:08:24,560 Speaker 3: do against Indiana? 2549 02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:28,880 Speaker 7: You know he's great at adjusting at halftime. You saw 2550 02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:31,480 Speaker 7: yesterday that Michigan had the ball twice in the first 2551 02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,560 Speaker 7: five minutes in the red zone and got a total 2552 02:08:34,600 --> 02:08:37,480 Speaker 7: of six points out of it. And anybody that has 2553 02:08:37,520 --> 02:08:41,160 Speaker 7: sen Ohio State play knew that Michigan had better score 2554 02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:44,040 Speaker 7: some points, some real points, some touchdowns in those first 2555 02:08:44,080 --> 02:08:46,000 Speaker 7: couple of drives, and we only got six points. 2556 02:08:46,440 --> 02:08:47,200 Speaker 18: That's bad news. 2557 02:08:47,280 --> 02:08:50,040 Speaker 7: And Patricia's great. I mean, he's been at every level 2558 02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:52,880 Speaker 7: he's been a Super Bowl winner, so he can adjust 2559 02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,280 Speaker 7: on the fly, and he certainly know Indiana. I'm sure 2560 02:08:56,320 --> 02:08:58,640 Speaker 7: we'll have some tricks for him, and they'll have some 2561 02:08:58,760 --> 02:09:02,600 Speaker 7: offensive SCHEMESOSSI believe that Ohio State hasn't seen this year, 2562 02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:06,040 Speaker 7: But Patricia will adjust and adapt to so forth. And 2563 02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:08,400 Speaker 7: he loves it here Into High State loves it here. 2564 02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:15,040 Speaker 2: So I want to go back to Brian Hartline, and 2565 02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:18,160 Speaker 2: I would say this, You're right, he's probably gonna get 2566 02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:20,320 Speaker 2: offers one of the names that's come up as Penn State. 2567 02:09:21,080 --> 02:09:23,680 Speaker 2: Uh do you think Heartline potentially ends up at Penn 2568 02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:24,440 Speaker 2: State last year? 2569 02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:28,800 Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting that Penn State hasn't named a coach. 2570 02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:32,360 Speaker 7: I mean, you've heard some sketchy rumors as to who 2571 02:09:32,400 --> 02:09:34,960 Speaker 7: their coach will be. But it's interesting how nothing really 2572 02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:38,280 Speaker 7: has happened there and you haven't had any real deep 2573 02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:42,560 Speaker 7: seated rumors other than maybe Hardline. So you know, it's 2574 02:09:42,720 --> 02:09:46,240 Speaker 7: entirely possible that he would take that job. You know, 2575 02:09:46,400 --> 02:09:49,920 Speaker 7: it's Uh, it's it's tough to turn that turn down 2576 02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:51,520 Speaker 7: that type of money that he's going to be offered, 2577 02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:52,800 Speaker 7: So it's yeah, it's possible. 2578 02:09:54,080 --> 02:09:56,560 Speaker 2: I want to go back to Julian saying, you duly 2579 02:09:56,680 --> 02:10:00,240 Speaker 2: credit Brian Hartline for his development, as saying, but this 2580 02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:04,080 Speaker 2: kid seems pretty special with his poise, his intelligence. And 2581 02:10:04,880 --> 02:10:08,000 Speaker 2: I played high school football in California. The next time 2582 02:10:08,040 --> 02:10:10,840 Speaker 2: I hear a high school kid in California can't handle 2583 02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:12,800 Speaker 2: cold weather, I'm going to take a hostage. 2584 02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:16,800 Speaker 3: Look what this kid has done with his poise. It's 2585 02:10:16,880 --> 02:10:18,480 Speaker 3: not just his arm and his accuracy. 2586 02:10:19,480 --> 02:10:23,680 Speaker 2: What a find for Ohio State and what was what 2587 02:10:23,800 --> 02:10:27,120 Speaker 2: were Ohio State's thoughts and projecting the kind of success 2588 02:10:27,440 --> 02:10:29,480 Speaker 2: he might be able to have this year, irrespective of 2589 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:31,680 Speaker 2: the fact that anywhere they're they were going to develop him. 2590 02:10:32,520 --> 02:10:35,280 Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting because early in the spring there 2591 02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:39,440 Speaker 7: was competition, a competition for the starting spot as far 2592 02:10:39,480 --> 02:10:43,360 Speaker 7: as being the QB. And even Smith jumped in and 2593 02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:46,880 Speaker 7: talked about how sayans ball comes off his hand in 2594 02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:50,960 Speaker 7: a special way, that he loved the guy. And when 2595 02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:53,400 Speaker 7: you've got Smith, the Date and the wide receivers talking 2596 02:10:53,440 --> 02:10:56,520 Speaker 7: about how special this quarterback is and how the ball 2597 02:10:56,640 --> 02:10:59,360 Speaker 7: comes off his hands. He's a very level headed kid. 2598 02:10:59,440 --> 02:11:02,320 Speaker 7: You talk to it in interviews, are just out and 2599 02:11:02,360 --> 02:11:04,720 Speaker 7: about and so forth. He's a very mature kid. He's 2600 02:11:04,760 --> 02:11:08,360 Speaker 7: a very intelligent young man. So he's certainly going to 2601 02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:11,040 Speaker 7: be sitting there in New York in a few weeks. 2602 02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:13,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think do you think he could win 2603 02:11:13,160 --> 02:11:13,640 Speaker 3: the Heisman? 2604 02:11:13,720 --> 02:11:16,760 Speaker 2: I mean, they're undefeated, his numbers are crazy, he's completing 2605 02:11:16,760 --> 02:11:18,240 Speaker 2: about eighty percent of his passes. 2606 02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:23,440 Speaker 7: Well, he you know, he had three more touchdowns again yesterday, 2607 02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:25,800 Speaker 7: and you know, I had that one interception early in 2608 02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:29,600 Speaker 7: the game, which I would attribute to nerves, but three 2609 02:11:29,680 --> 02:11:32,520 Speaker 7: more touchdowns. He's still got this wide receivers. I mean, 2610 02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:34,040 Speaker 7: he's going to be sitting there and he certainly is 2611 02:11:34,080 --> 02:11:36,960 Speaker 7: going to be among the top two or three selections 2612 02:11:37,240 --> 02:11:39,400 Speaker 7: for the Heisman and so forth. So you know, if 2613 02:11:39,440 --> 02:11:41,240 Speaker 7: he wins it, great, If he doesn't, you know, he's 2614 02:11:41,280 --> 02:11:44,040 Speaker 7: got another year next year that he absolutely will be back, 2615 02:11:44,080 --> 02:11:46,680 Speaker 7: and he absolutely will have Smith back as a wide receiver, 2616 02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:49,440 Speaker 7: so you know, and he's got another recruit coming in 2617 02:11:49,840 --> 02:11:52,560 Speaker 7: that's a five star wide receiver recruit, so he's going 2618 02:11:52,640 --> 02:11:54,200 Speaker 7: to be loaded again next year too. So yeah, he's 2619 02:11:54,200 --> 02:11:54,680 Speaker 7: got a chance. 2620 02:11:55,360 --> 02:12:00,280 Speaker 2: Last question, don so, both Indiana and Ohio State will 2621 02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:04,000 Speaker 2: advance to the playoffs regardless of the outcome next Saturday, 2622 02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:07,200 Speaker 2: and it's possible the two could face each other again 2623 02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:10,839 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But outside of Indiana, who's a legitimate concern? 2624 02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:13,880 Speaker 2: Who else makes you just a little bit edgy? 2625 02:12:14,280 --> 02:12:16,280 Speaker 3: Is it Oregon? Is it Texas A and M? Is 2626 02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:19,160 Speaker 3: it Alabama? Who's on the radar for Ohio State? 2627 02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:23,280 Speaker 7: You know, all of them would be of concern, I 2628 02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:25,320 Speaker 7: would think, and Day has done a great job, a 2629 02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:29,680 Speaker 7: very professional job of keeping these kids focused, keeping them 2630 02:12:29,760 --> 02:12:32,440 Speaker 7: ready for games and so forth. So Oregon could be 2631 02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:35,120 Speaker 7: a challenge, you know, A and M had a bad game, 2632 02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:38,320 Speaker 7: arguably could be called a bad game. Alabama, any of 2633 02:12:38,360 --> 02:12:41,120 Speaker 7: those teams could, you know, could challenge. But it's you know, 2634 02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:43,960 Speaker 7: as long as Ohio State plays their game, as long 2635 02:12:44,040 --> 02:12:46,240 Speaker 7: as they put on you know, even as urban Meyer 2636 02:12:46,360 --> 02:12:49,160 Speaker 7: was talking about yesterday before the game, you know, if 2637 02:12:49,200 --> 02:12:51,320 Speaker 7: Ohio State puts up twenty four points, it's going to 2638 02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:54,440 Speaker 7: be tough for anybody to meet them. With Patricia's defense. 2639 02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:58,200 Speaker 2: My god, they're giving up seven points a game, you know, 2640 02:12:58,480 --> 02:13:01,080 Speaker 2: and I mean I don't care who you planning to 2641 02:13:01,400 --> 02:13:06,920 Speaker 2: sustain that for four months is unbelievable. Don great stuff. 2642 02:13:06,920 --> 02:13:10,160 Speaker 2: As always, Let's plan on getting you back in January. 2643 02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:13,240 Speaker 2: Either way, we're gonna have a story either Ohio State's 2644 02:13:13,240 --> 02:13:16,240 Speaker 2: going to be the champ again or someone's gonna have 2645 02:13:16,320 --> 02:13:18,040 Speaker 2: knocked off the champ, and that'll be your story in 2646 02:13:18,080 --> 02:13:22,160 Speaker 2: and of itself. So appreciate all your input there coming 2647 02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:23,360 Speaker 2: from Columbus. 2648 02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:27,560 Speaker 7: Bernie. Thanks again.

JaMarcus Russell is infamous as people have labeled 2666 02:14:24,240 --> 02:14:26,960 Speaker 2: him maybe the worst bust in history, and interestingly enough, 2667 02:14:27,520 --> 02:14:30,440 Speaker 2: according to Lane Kiff, and he begged Al Davis to 2668 02:14:30,520 --> 02:14:33,200 Speaker 2: draft Calvin Johnson in two thousand and seven, but Al 2669 02:14:33,320 --> 02:14:36,560 Speaker 2: drafted JaMarcus Russell.

He's pretty highly 2690 02:15:43,440 --> 02:15:47,640 Speaker 2: regarded there and won a national title. Urban Meyer in 2691 02:15:47,760 --> 02:15:50,720 Speaker 2: those ninety two games won eighty three. He was eighty 2692 02:15:50,760 --> 02:15:54,560 Speaker 2: three and nine. Well, guess what Ryan Day is eighty 2693 02:15:54,640 --> 02:15:59,840 Speaker 2: two and ten won one less game than urban Meyer. 2694 02:16:01,080 --> 02:16:03,080 Speaker 2: And yeah, there's been some up and down moments, but 2695 02:16:03,200 --> 02:16:07,040 Speaker 2: for the most part, to not give this guy his flowers. 2696 02:16:07,920 --> 02:16:09,680 Speaker 2: It's just a little city silly. Maybe you have a 2697 02:16:09,680 --> 02:16:12,640 Speaker 2: different agenda, but people are entitled their opinion.

All right, JaMarcus Russell's names come up 2706 02:16:43,360 --> 02:16:45,880 Speaker 2: a couple of times. Tonight, my guy, I'm all shaw, 2707 02:16:45,959 --> 02:16:50,000 Speaker 2: he's entertaining guy brought the name up, and I brought 2708 02:16:50,040 --> 02:16:53,320 Speaker 2: it up again because apparently in two thousand and seven, 2709 02:16:54,200 --> 02:16:55,560 Speaker 2: that's the second of the last year I did the 2710 02:16:55,640 --> 02:16:57,840 Speaker 2: Lion's post game show pre and post I remember we 2711 02:16:57,959 --> 02:17:00,520 Speaker 2: drafted the line. I didn't the Lion's draft to Calvin 2712 02:17:00,600 --> 02:17:06,240 Speaker 2: Johnson that year, but apparently Lane Kiffin wanted Calvin Johnson, 2713 02:17:06,800 --> 02:17:13,000 Speaker 2: but Al Davis drafted JaMarcus Russell, which fortunately, unfortunately he'd 2714 02:17:13,040 --> 02:17:15,400 Speaker 2: become kind of a Punchline is one of the biggest 2715 02:17:15,440 --> 02:17:16,320 Speaker 2: busts of all time. 2716 02:17:16,640 --> 02:17:18,560 Speaker 3: But is he the guy? 2717 02:17:18,600 --> 02:17:20,880 Speaker 2: Got no beef with JJ McCarthy. He seems like a 2718 02:17:20,959 --> 02:17:25,640 Speaker 2: solid individual and his career it started slow and now 2719 02:17:25,680 --> 02:17:29,120 Speaker 2: it's fading. I mean, missed the first year completely with 2720 02:17:29,240 --> 02:17:33,000 Speaker 2: an injury. He's been injured again this year, but he's 2721 02:17:33,040 --> 02:17:39,480 Speaker 2: been incredibly inconsistent. Well, he's basically had six starts six 2722 02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:47,560 Speaker 2: career games. In his first six career games, JJ McCarthy's 2723 02:17:47,600 --> 02:17:50,439 Speaker 2: thrown for nine hundred and twenty nine yards, six touchdowns, 2724 02:17:50,840 --> 02:17:54,520 Speaker 2: ten interceptions, had a completion rate of fifty four percent 2725 02:17:54,920 --> 02:17:58,680 Speaker 2: fifty four point one to be exactly, be exact, and 2726 02:17:58,800 --> 02:18:02,920 Speaker 2: a passer rating of fifty seven point nine. All right, 2727 02:18:02,920 --> 02:18:08,680 Speaker 2: Remember the JaMarcus Russell guy we talked about. Well, in 2728 02:18:08,760 --> 02:18:12,879 Speaker 2: his first six games, he actually passed for one hundred 2729 02:18:12,879 --> 02:18:16,920 Speaker 2: and twenty two yards more than JJ McCarthy one hundred 2730 02:18:16,920 --> 02:18:20,040 Speaker 2: and fifty one versus nine twenty nine, throwing for about 2731 02:18:20,160 --> 02:18:24,400 Speaker 2: the same number of touchdowns five McCarthy s six, but 2732 02:18:24,520 --> 02:18:29,560 Speaker 2: McCarthy had ten interceptions and JaMarcus Russell only had three, 2733 02:18:30,280 --> 02:18:33,000 Speaker 2: two for one thousand and fifty one five tds, three interceptions. 2734 02:18:35,040 --> 02:18:38,400 Speaker 2: JaMarcus Russell's completion rate nothing to write home about, fifty 2735 02:18:38,440 --> 02:18:43,160 Speaker 2: four point five percent JJ McCarthy's fifty four point one percent, 2736 02:18:43,879 --> 02:18:47,280 Speaker 2: but the passer rating JaMarcus Russell seventy six point nine 2737 02:18:48,080 --> 02:18:53,840 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy fifty seven point nine. So we're doing quarterback 2738 02:18:53,920 --> 02:18:57,160 Speaker 2: comparisons all over the map tonight, and as we wrap 2739 02:18:57,320 --> 02:19:02,520 Speaker 2: up the show, we're actually going to have another quarterback comparison, 2740 02:19:03,200 --> 02:19:11,000 Speaker 2: and that's going to be well Shador Sanders versus Dylan Gabriel. 2741 02:19:11,959 --> 02:19:14,640 Speaker 2: Now what's interesting is in Sudore is going to get 2742 02:19:14,640 --> 02:19:20,000 Speaker 2: a second start, who's the better quarterback? You already know my. 2743 02:19:20,080 --> 02:19:24,199 Speaker 3: Opinion, But if we're being honest, here's really the situation. 2744 02:19:26,800 --> 02:19:27,320 Speaker 3: I think. 2745 02:19:28,879 --> 02:19:31,920 Speaker 2: Rookie, you know, they're both rookies, should or seen as 2746 02:19:31,920 --> 02:19:36,400 Speaker 2: the more creative talent, better off script, while Dylan Gabriel's 2747 02:19:36,440 --> 02:19:41,920 Speaker 2: viewed more experienced, safe system oriented player, and I expect 2748 02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:46,240 Speaker 2: Sanders to likely be the starter for the remainder of 2749 02:19:46,280 --> 02:19:52,320 Speaker 2: the year. And in a minute, I'm gonna give I'll 2750 02:19:52,360 --> 02:19:57,320 Speaker 2: tell you what I'm gonna give the numbers. Now, remember Gabriel, 2751 02:19:57,360 --> 02:20:01,400 Speaker 2: they both won one game, but give started seven games 2752 02:20:01,480 --> 02:20:06,080 Speaker 2: and Shador has only played two. Or actually Gabriel's been 2753 02:20:06,120 --> 02:20:08,760 Speaker 2: an eight. I think he started six. And I'm gonna 2754 02:20:08,760 --> 02:20:11,960 Speaker 2: give you the numbers because you might be a little surprised. 2755 02:20:12,920 --> 02:20:17,000 Speaker 2: All right, I would say Shador Sanders made the most 2756 02:20:17,040 --> 02:20:20,199 Speaker 2: of his opportunities last week. He's got the yit factor, 2757 02:20:20,520 --> 02:20:24,200 Speaker 2: he's got a flair for the dramatic, he's de seed. 2758 02:20:24,280 --> 02:20:26,480 Speaker 2: The team played. He seemed to play with real good 2759 02:20:26,600 --> 02:20:29,040 Speaker 2: energy around him. But again, how much can you really 2760 02:20:29,120 --> 02:20:31,920 Speaker 2: take away? Because come on, it was with all due respect, 2761 02:20:31,959 --> 02:20:34,600 Speaker 2: it was against the Raiders. We'll see what Shador does 2762 02:20:35,520 --> 02:20:40,520 Speaker 2: Sunday later today at home against the forty nine ers. 2763 02:20:40,680 --> 02:20:44,000 Speaker 2: And again, the play of the shifted everything was when 2764 02:20:44,040 --> 02:20:47,920 Speaker 2: he rolled or was right. I saw the receiver streaking downfield. 2765 02:20:47,920 --> 02:20:49,480 Speaker 2: The other rookie threw the ball up and it was 2766 02:20:49,520 --> 02:20:52,520 Speaker 2: a good play. But what slays me is when he 2767 02:20:52,800 --> 02:20:54,520 Speaker 2: they didn't det up due a lot. They kept taking 2768 02:20:54,600 --> 02:20:56,600 Speaker 2: him out on the ten yard line. Why would you 2769 02:20:56,640 --> 02:20:59,959 Speaker 2: do that, and then he throws a five yard pass 2770 02:21:00,080 --> 02:21:01,879 Speaker 2: behind the line of scrimmage. He got run sixty six 2771 02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:05,199 Speaker 2: yards and that adds to his pass per a tamp total, 2772 02:21:05,240 --> 02:21:08,119 Speaker 2: which was really kind of skewed. Okay, so one game 2773 02:21:08,160 --> 02:21:09,520 Speaker 2: does not a season to make. Let's see what she 2774 02:21:09,680 --> 02:21:14,160 Speaker 2: Door Sanders does from here. And he said some things 2775 02:21:14,200 --> 02:21:16,720 Speaker 2: before the game and after the game that don't appear 2776 02:21:16,760 --> 02:21:20,720 Speaker 2: to be confidence. They appear to be arrogance. But look, 2777 02:21:20,879 --> 02:21:23,680 Speaker 2: on balance, I think Schodor Sanders has handed himself pretty well. 2778 02:21:24,120 --> 02:21:26,640 Speaker 2: He didn't bitch him own about being drafted late. He 2779 02:21:26,720 --> 02:21:29,280 Speaker 2: went to work obviously, and now he listened. He's got 2780 02:21:29,400 --> 02:21:33,000 Speaker 2: a chance. But I'm going to compare there's a season 2781 02:21:33,080 --> 02:21:35,960 Speaker 2: statistics comparison and give a little bit more of a 2782 02:21:36,920 --> 02:21:40,440 Speaker 2: scouting report and analysis comparing both of them coming up. 2783 02:21:40,959 --> 02:21:43,480 Speaker 2: But first, hey, we're one hundred and ninety three days 2784 02:21:43,520 --> 02:21:46,920 Speaker 2: away from World Cup Soccer. It's that time again, time 2785 02:21:47,720 --> 02:21:49,200 Speaker 2: for CHRISP. Perfett's World of Soccer. 2786 02:21:50,720 --> 02:22:07,000 Speaker 4: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, international drum. It's all 2787 02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:10,000 Speaker 4: here in this report from the World of Soccer. 2788 02:22:10,240 --> 02:22:12,600 Speaker 24: So as we wait here for the Major League Soccer 2789 02:22:12,800 --> 02:22:16,600 Speaker 24: MLS Cup final coming up here on Saturday, December the sixth. 2790 02:22:16,879 --> 02:22:20,120 Speaker 24: There is something that took that earlier in the month, 2791 02:22:20,240 --> 02:22:23,200 Speaker 24: took news from the MLS Cup playoffs away from it 2792 02:22:23,600 --> 02:22:26,320 Speaker 24: that really spoke to me, and that was the fact 2793 02:22:26,400 --> 02:22:30,320 Speaker 24: that the MLS Board of Governors earlier in November voted 2794 02:22:30,400 --> 02:22:34,520 Speaker 24: to change the league's schedule to a full format. This 2795 02:22:34,680 --> 02:22:38,320 Speaker 24: basically means that MLS would fall in line with other 2796 02:22:38,800 --> 02:22:43,439 Speaker 24: leagues around the world, like the Premier League and Bundesliga 2797 02:22:43,520 --> 02:22:47,160 Speaker 24: and everyone who plays in Europe. So right now, you 2798 02:22:47,240 --> 02:22:52,240 Speaker 24: know MLS begins right now in spring. Now it would 2799 02:22:52,280 --> 02:22:55,000 Speaker 24: begin in mid July. It would take a winter break 2800 02:22:55,080 --> 02:22:58,760 Speaker 24: around mid December, which is probably a great idea because 2801 02:22:58,920 --> 02:23:03,240 Speaker 24: you know, we've got teams in the North and sometimes 2802 02:23:03,440 --> 02:23:05,760 Speaker 24: it's hard to play games up there, especially when you 2803 02:23:05,800 --> 02:23:09,200 Speaker 24: don't have the mild winters of something like a Europe. 2804 02:23:09,520 --> 02:23:12,840 Speaker 24: But then it would restart in the third week of February, 2805 02:23:13,520 --> 02:23:16,879 Speaker 24: notably avoiding Super Bowl week. And that I can't help 2806 02:23:16,959 --> 02:23:20,160 Speaker 24: but notice here before we really get into the deeper implications, 2807 02:23:20,480 --> 02:23:24,680 Speaker 24: is at the very least in a North American sports landscape, 2808 02:23:24,760 --> 02:23:29,360 Speaker 24: it does mean that MLS stops spending its crunch time 2809 02:23:29,440 --> 02:23:31,840 Speaker 24: at the end of the season and its playoff format 2810 02:23:32,480 --> 02:23:36,400 Speaker 24: in the MLS Cup competing against college football and the NFL. 2811 02:23:36,920 --> 02:23:40,800 Speaker 24: MLS Cup playoffs have been largely irrelevant because it's going 2812 02:23:40,879 --> 02:23:45,200 Speaker 24: on on Saturdays and Sundays where you're watching American football. 2813 02:23:45,640 --> 02:23:47,720 Speaker 24: Did you see the end for the race for the 2814 02:23:47,720 --> 02:23:50,240 Speaker 24: supporter Shield. No, a lot of people did not, because 2815 02:23:50,560 --> 02:23:53,600 Speaker 24: you're competing with football. It starts out good for MLS 2816 02:23:53,959 --> 02:23:57,520 Speaker 24: in the summertime when all your competition really is is baseball, 2817 02:23:57,760 --> 02:24:00,480 Speaker 24: but then it gets a little janky after that, and 2818 02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:03,279 Speaker 24: it doesn't really bring in a lot of other watchers 2819 02:24:03,440 --> 02:24:09,280 Speaker 24: from other markets because again it's such counterprogramming too other 2820 02:24:09,600 --> 02:24:12,280 Speaker 24: leagues around the world because of how they play in 2821 02:24:12,440 --> 02:24:16,360 Speaker 24: this schedule. Now, the bigger ramification of this for MLS 2822 02:24:16,440 --> 02:24:19,640 Speaker 24: itself is that it will get to be able to 2823 02:24:19,720 --> 02:24:23,080 Speaker 24: partake in the European transfer market, those windows that open 2824 02:24:23,240 --> 02:24:26,960 Speaker 24: up in UEFA and other leagues around the world, thus 2825 02:24:27,640 --> 02:24:31,040 Speaker 24: probably being able to get talent at better times of 2826 02:24:31,040 --> 02:24:34,200 Speaker 24: the year and also being able to sell talent to 2827 02:24:34,480 --> 02:24:37,160 Speaker 24: Europe and bringing in some cash that you might need 2828 02:24:37,480 --> 02:24:39,640 Speaker 24: for other deals down the line, or just to make 2829 02:24:39,680 --> 02:24:42,360 Speaker 24: yourself more appealing as far as being part of this 2830 02:24:42,480 --> 02:24:47,320 Speaker 24: ecosystem having that exchange with clubs over in England and Germany. 2831 02:24:47,959 --> 02:24:50,800 Speaker 24: Those two nations in particular, along with Italy, do feature 2832 02:24:50,879 --> 02:24:54,720 Speaker 24: quite a few Americans playing at different level. Leeds has 2833 02:24:54,800 --> 02:24:58,240 Speaker 24: always been a big provider of American talent. 2834 02:24:58,560 --> 02:25:01,360 Speaker 5: You see them in Italy. Christian pulasitch right now playing 2835 02:25:01,400 --> 02:25:01,800 Speaker 5: in Italy. 2836 02:25:02,200 --> 02:25:05,200 Speaker 24: Germany has been the home for several Americans as well, 2837 02:25:05,360 --> 02:25:07,879 Speaker 24: so this all kind of works out a little bit better, 2838 02:25:08,480 --> 02:25:12,440 Speaker 24: especially as MLS wants to compete for more European talent, 2839 02:25:12,680 --> 02:25:16,000 Speaker 24: having brought in Lionel Messi and now paying a massive 2840 02:25:16,120 --> 02:25:19,120 Speaker 24: salary to some hung Men which is only second to 2841 02:25:19,200 --> 02:25:23,680 Speaker 24: Leonel Messi's deal right now in MLS. The bigger change 2842 02:25:23,720 --> 02:25:27,280 Speaker 24: too that's coming is we right now have East West 2843 02:25:27,360 --> 02:25:32,240 Speaker 24: divisions in MLS, which aligns itself with sports like NBA 2844 02:25:32,680 --> 02:25:35,400 Speaker 24: and the NHL. That's going to be gone and once 2845 02:25:35,440 --> 02:25:38,920 Speaker 24: again we are taking a much more soccer specific approach. 2846 02:25:39,040 --> 02:25:42,440 Speaker 24: There is one table one to thirty. That's pretty massive 2847 02:25:42,520 --> 02:25:46,360 Speaker 24: considering most European tables are only about twenty teams or so, 2848 02:25:46,920 --> 02:25:49,640 Speaker 24: but that's kind of the size of the league you have, 2849 02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:52,720 Speaker 24: and you don't really partner with USL and you're not 2850 02:25:52,840 --> 02:25:56,120 Speaker 24: really open right now to promotion relegation, but that single 2851 02:25:56,160 --> 02:25:59,959 Speaker 24: table will feature five sixteen regional divisions, with teams playing 2852 02:26:00,120 --> 02:26:03,360 Speaker 24: each of their division rivals twice home and away and 2853 02:26:03,480 --> 02:26:06,119 Speaker 24: every other team in the league once, so it will 2854 02:26:06,600 --> 02:26:09,120 Speaker 24: kind of make a lot more sense of a schedule. 2855 02:26:09,520 --> 02:26:11,160 Speaker 5: This is going to be a little tricky for MLS 2856 02:26:11,240 --> 02:26:11,760 Speaker 5: to pull off. 2857 02:26:12,440 --> 02:26:15,800 Speaker 24: It will It's not going to happen until twenty twenty seven, 2858 02:26:16,160 --> 02:26:20,160 Speaker 24: at which point there will be a shortened season at 2859 02:26:20,200 --> 02:26:23,400 Speaker 24: the beginning of that year and then start the full 2860 02:26:23,520 --> 02:26:26,959 Speaker 24: season under the new format in July of twenty twenty seven. 2861 02:26:27,400 --> 02:26:29,800 Speaker 24: Now is sheoed around twenty twenty seven or twenty twenty eight? 2862 02:26:29,840 --> 02:26:33,119 Speaker 24: When was when the USL, the United Soccer League kind 2863 02:26:33,120 --> 02:26:35,360 Speaker 24: of the second tier in this country, but that also 2864 02:26:35,400 --> 02:26:37,880 Speaker 24: includes the third, fourth, and fifth tier because they have 2865 02:26:37,959 --> 02:26:42,279 Speaker 24: a whole pyramid was set to implement promotion and relegation. 2866 02:26:42,640 --> 02:26:46,440 Speaker 24: No clue if USL will follow MLS into the fall format, 2867 02:26:46,600 --> 02:26:49,080 Speaker 24: but either way, USL has always been a lot more 2868 02:26:49,160 --> 02:26:52,600 Speaker 24: grassroots for these kind of things, whereas MLS is now 2869 02:26:52,760 --> 02:26:56,160 Speaker 24: at this point thirty teams. It's really hard to justify 2870 02:26:56,280 --> 02:26:59,760 Speaker 24: further expansion and a lot of money came to MLS 2871 02:26:59,800 --> 02:27:02,880 Speaker 24: four those expansion fees, a lot of money. Now the 2872 02:27:02,959 --> 02:27:06,000 Speaker 24: next big thing for them it's not just competing trying 2873 02:27:06,040 --> 02:27:09,400 Speaker 24: to avoid competing against football in this country. It is 2874 02:27:09,560 --> 02:27:13,640 Speaker 24: taking advantage of that global transfer market. That money will 2875 02:27:13,720 --> 02:27:17,120 Speaker 24: be huge. I think there's some very interesting implications for that. 2876 02:27:17,440 --> 02:27:19,440 Speaker 24: I don't know if it all means it's great for 2877 02:27:19,600 --> 02:27:22,640 Speaker 24: MLS as far as bringing in talent. I could see 2878 02:27:22,680 --> 02:27:25,880 Speaker 24: them be much more about selling to try to take 2879 02:27:25,920 --> 02:27:29,840 Speaker 24: advantage of some hot upcoming American soccer players to send 2880 02:27:29,879 --> 02:27:31,920 Speaker 24: them over to Europe. But we have to see and 2881 02:27:32,160 --> 02:27:35,480 Speaker 24: ultimately it's just opened up a lot more opportunities for 2882 02:27:35,640 --> 02:27:39,520 Speaker 24: MLS to be part of the global game and better 2883 02:27:39,640 --> 02:27:42,000 Speaker 24: aligning itself by better aligning its calendar. 2884 02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:44,320 Speaker 5: I like the move a lot injured to see where 2885 02:27:44,680 --> 02:27:45,800 Speaker 5: MLS will go from here. 2886 02:27:46,280 --> 02:27:48,760 Speaker 24: We'll talk next time about the MLS Cup final and 2887 02:27:48,840 --> 02:27:51,480 Speaker 24: where Europe stands next time on the World of Soccer. 2888 02:27:53,520 --> 02:27:57,360 Speaker 2: All right, one hundred and ninety three days until World 2889 02:27:57,440 --> 02:27:59,600 Speaker 2: Cup is here. It's going to come fast and furious. 2890 02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:04,080 Speaker 2: When this whole segments started back in consh she gets 2891 02:28:04,120 --> 02:28:08,160 Speaker 2: just twenty twenty two and the World Cup dates were 2892 02:28:08,240 --> 02:28:10,960 Speaker 2: later in the year. That year, the USA played England 2893 02:28:11,120 --> 02:28:15,680 Speaker 2: on Black Friday. Coming up, we wrap up the show. 2894 02:28:16,160 --> 02:28:21,360 Speaker 2: Actually one more bit of bad news involving LSU, and 2895 02:28:21,400 --> 02:28:23,959 Speaker 2: then we'll take a quick look. Hey, while we're comparing quarterbacks, 2896 02:28:24,040 --> 02:28:30,560 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy to Jmarcus Russell and Julian sayin to Bryce Underwood, 2897 02:28:30,840 --> 02:28:34,760 Speaker 2: how about one more Shoudors Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. I'm 2898 02:28:34,800 --> 02:28:37,360 Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle. We are coming to you live from the 2899 02:28:37,760 --> 02:28:41,880 Speaker 2: Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios. Keep it locked you 2900 02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:43,959 Speaker 2: listen to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 2901 02:28:46,320 --> 02:28:48,119 Speaker 2: I will wrap it up on the Bernie Fraddle Show. 2902 02:28:48,240 --> 02:28:50,920 Speaker 2: I want to thank my producers, Mark and Brianna for 2903 02:28:51,040 --> 02:28:53,760 Speaker 2: other hard work keeping us in on the air, managing 2904 02:28:53,840 --> 02:28:55,240 Speaker 2: the clock, the callers, everything. 2905 02:28:55,520 --> 02:28:56,440 Speaker 3: Really appreciate it. 2906 02:28:59,160 --> 02:29:06,160 Speaker 2: Before I get to the comparison between Shudur and Dylan Gabriel, 2907 02:29:06,840 --> 02:29:10,680 Speaker 2: more not so good news for LSU. If you recall, 2908 02:29:11,360 --> 02:29:15,800 Speaker 2: LSU fired Brian Kelly October twenty sixth, one day after 2909 02:29:15,840 --> 02:29:20,800 Speaker 2: they lost at home to Texas A and M. Kelly 2910 02:29:20,920 --> 02:29:27,600 Speaker 2: then sued LSU. Two weeks later after his buyout, Kelly 2911 02:29:27,680 --> 02:29:30,640 Speaker 2: set in a lawsuit that LSU had told him he'd 2912 02:29:30,680 --> 02:29:33,640 Speaker 2: been fired from his job. He'd later filed the lawsuit 2913 02:29:33,720 --> 02:29:38,200 Speaker 2: alleging that the school was trying to find cause for 2914 02:29:38,280 --> 02:29:41,480 Speaker 2: the firing to avoid paying Brian Kelly the money he 2915 02:29:41,720 --> 02:29:43,119 Speaker 2: was owed on his contract. 2916 02:29:44,120 --> 02:29:49,080 Speaker 3: Well, Kelly won that one. He secured the final. 2917 02:29:48,920 --> 02:29:53,480 Speaker 2: Victory against LSU or with LSU, or depending on how 2918 02:29:53,520 --> 02:29:57,920 Speaker 2: you look at it. LSU informed Brian Kelly in writing 2919 02:29:57,959 --> 02:30:00,880 Speaker 2: three days ago that he is, in fact has been 2920 02:30:00,920 --> 02:30:04,080 Speaker 2: fired without costs. The letter was sent to Kelly by 2921 02:30:04,760 --> 02:30:08,360 Speaker 2: LSU president Wayne rows At states LSU will pay out 2922 02:30:08,440 --> 02:30:11,160 Speaker 2: Kelly's contract in full. They made it clear in the 2923 02:30:11,240 --> 02:30:14,199 Speaker 2: letter that Kelly has a contractual obligation, though to seek 2924 02:30:14,240 --> 02:30:17,360 Speaker 2: a new job. If you follow any of this, I 2925 02:30:17,440 --> 02:30:23,199 Speaker 2: mean this basically means LSU owes Kelly his full fifty 2926 02:30:23,280 --> 02:30:30,039 Speaker 2: four million dollar buyout. Apparently, LSU had offered Brian Kelly 2927 02:30:30,080 --> 02:30:32,280 Speaker 2: two lump sum payments to settle his contract. First, they 2928 02:30:32,320 --> 02:30:36,040 Speaker 2: offered him twenty five million with no offset language, and 2929 02:30:36,160 --> 02:30:38,080 Speaker 2: then offered him thirty million to be paid out in 2930 02:30:38,120 --> 02:30:42,360 Speaker 2: two installments. Kelly declined those offers, so now it looks 2931 02:30:42,400 --> 02:30:45,560 Speaker 2: like he's going to receive nine million annually between now 2932 02:30:45,760 --> 02:30:48,120 Speaker 2: and twenty thirty one. But if Brian Kelly finds a 2933 02:30:48,160 --> 02:30:51,160 Speaker 2: new job, whatever he earns would be offset against the 2934 02:30:51,240 --> 02:30:55,640 Speaker 2: nine million per year he's owned. So whatever you want 2935 02:30:55,680 --> 02:30:58,680 Speaker 2: to call it, a game of Shenanigans, Brian Kelly won. 2936 02:31:01,200 --> 02:31:05,200 Speaker 2: I guess LSU's not happy about the way any of 2937 02:31:05,280 --> 02:31:07,880 Speaker 2: this ended. Kelly, by the way, when thirty four and 2938 02:31:07,959 --> 02:31:10,720 Speaker 2: fourteen and four seasons at LSU and he was five 2939 02:31:10,800 --> 02:31:14,480 Speaker 2: and three this season, you know, will Lane Kiffin have 2940 02:31:14,640 --> 02:31:17,800 Speaker 2: the success that they wanted to have assuming he goes 2941 02:31:17,840 --> 02:31:21,600 Speaker 2: there again, it's early Sunday. Anything can happen with this guy. 2942 02:31:21,680 --> 02:31:28,000 Speaker 2: But assuming Lane Kiffin goes to LSU, well, Nick Saban 2943 02:31:28,080 --> 02:31:33,600 Speaker 2: won a championship his fourth year, Less Miles won a 2944 02:31:33,680 --> 02:31:36,880 Speaker 2: championship his fourth year and then was fired. And at 2945 02:31:36,879 --> 02:31:39,120 Speaker 2: Origin I won a championship and his fourth year and 2946 02:31:39,200 --> 02:31:41,600 Speaker 2: then was fired. Kelly didn't make it through his fourth year. 2947 02:31:41,920 --> 02:31:46,360 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with Lane Kiffen. All right, So 2948 02:31:46,640 --> 02:31:49,360 Speaker 2: Sunday later on to day, we're just a few hours 2949 02:31:49,400 --> 02:31:55,240 Speaker 2: away from Schudoor Sanders making his second start as a 2950 02:31:55,440 --> 02:31:59,200 Speaker 2: National League National Football League quarterback with the Cleveland Browns. 2951 02:32:00,040 --> 02:32:04,480 Speaker 2: When you compare, well, I'll tell you. Let's just for 2952 02:32:04,560 --> 02:32:06,680 Speaker 2: the hell of it, let's compare the numbers. Now again, 2953 02:32:06,760 --> 02:32:10,440 Speaker 2: Sanders has only played two games. He is credited with 2954 02:32:10,480 --> 02:32:13,440 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty six passing yards, but one of 2955 02:32:13,520 --> 02:32:15,400 Speaker 2: them travel three yards in the year behind the line 2956 02:32:15,440 --> 02:32:17,840 Speaker 2: of scrimmage, or maybe five yards in a year. And 2957 02:32:17,879 --> 02:32:19,280 Speaker 2: it was a hell of a run by the player. 2958 02:32:19,320 --> 02:32:22,400 Speaker 2: As the Raiders stood by like a like they look 2959 02:32:22,560 --> 02:32:25,959 Speaker 2: like it was a bullfight, and they were ola letting 2960 02:32:25,959 --> 02:32:27,160 Speaker 2: the guy run to the end zone. It was a 2961 02:32:27,200 --> 02:32:30,520 Speaker 2: hell of a run though, sixty six yards. So really, 2962 02:32:30,600 --> 02:32:33,440 Speaker 2: you know he gets credit for those two hundred and 2963 02:32:33,440 --> 02:32:35,280 Speaker 2: fifty six to sixty six, Well, you get it. 2964 02:32:35,879 --> 02:32:36,440 Speaker 3: For the records. 2965 02:32:36,480 --> 02:32:39,160 Speaker 2: Shoot or is throwing one touchdown passes, two interceptions. His 2966 02:32:39,240 --> 02:32:42,400 Speaker 2: completion percentage is forty one percent. His QB rating is 2967 02:32:42,480 --> 02:32:46,480 Speaker 2: fifty two point five. Now, Gabriel's had six games. He's 2968 02:32:46,520 --> 02:32:48,360 Speaker 2: passed for a niner and thirty seven yards. He's throwing 2969 02:32:48,440 --> 02:32:53,000 Speaker 2: for seven touchdown passes, two interceptions. He's completing fifty nine 2970 02:32:53,000 --> 02:32:56,840 Speaker 2: percent of his passes, and his QB rating is about 2971 02:32:56,879 --> 02:32:57,440 Speaker 2: eighty one. 2972 02:32:58,240 --> 02:32:59,240 Speaker 3: What does that mean? I don't know. 2973 02:32:59,360 --> 02:33:04,320 Speaker 2: Let's compare and apples after Shoodoor Sanders has seven games 2974 02:33:04,440 --> 02:33:05,480 Speaker 2: under his belt as well. 2975 02:33:05,959 --> 02:33:06,640 Speaker 3: We shall see. 2976 02:33:06,680 --> 02:33:10,360 Speaker 2: As I said earlier, I think shud Or Sanders made 2977 02:33:10,400 --> 02:33:11,599 Speaker 2: the most of his opportunity. 2978 02:33:12,280 --> 02:33:13,400 Speaker 3: He has the yit factor. 2979 02:33:14,640 --> 02:33:17,880 Speaker 2: The energy the Browns played around him was admirable, and 2980 02:33:17,959 --> 02:33:19,360 Speaker 2: I think he's got a flare for the dramatic. 2981 02:33:19,520 --> 02:33:22,039 Speaker 3: I am nowhere there yet convinced he's a major league quarterback. 2982 02:33:22,480 --> 02:33:24,240 Speaker 3: It's going to be a while. Can he prove me wrong? 2983 02:33:24,360 --> 02:33:24,560 Speaker 8: Sure? 2984 02:33:25,640 --> 02:33:26,240 Speaker 3: Sure he can't. 2985 02:33:26,760 --> 02:33:29,680 Speaker 2: But now, based on what I've seen, that's an objective viewpoint, 2986 02:33:29,760 --> 02:33:33,760 Speaker 2: not a fanboy viewpoint, not a subjective viewpoint. Am I 2987 02:33:33,840 --> 02:33:35,640 Speaker 2: rooting for shoot Or to fail? What the hell would 2988 02:33:35,640 --> 02:33:37,080 Speaker 2: I do that for? How do I benefit from that? 2989 02:33:39,280 --> 02:33:41,160 Speaker 2: As I've always I've mentioned under Dick shapp a root 2990 02:33:41,200 --> 02:33:44,440 Speaker 2: for the story. What would really be the story? Hell, 2991 02:33:44,520 --> 02:33:46,880 Speaker 2: Cleveland goes on a winning streak, wins five of the 2992 02:33:46,959 --> 02:33:49,760 Speaker 2: next game, you know, the next five games, that would 2993 02:33:49,760 --> 02:33:52,400 Speaker 2: be a story. Shood Or wins the job out of 2994 02:33:52,440 --> 02:33:55,000 Speaker 2: camp next year and leads, that would be a story, 2995 02:33:55,240 --> 02:33:57,720 Speaker 2: not washing out like most fifth round quarterbacks do. 2996 02:33:58,720 --> 02:34:00,880 Speaker 3: So let's see what happens. But if you want to 2997 02:34:00,920 --> 02:34:04,880 Speaker 3: compare the two look, Schnor Sanders he's more of an artist. Okay. 2998 02:34:05,680 --> 02:34:08,920 Speaker 2: Does he make plays outside the offensive structure? Does he 2999 02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:12,160 Speaker 2: make offscript you know, playmaking? Does he involve himself with that? 3000 02:34:12,800 --> 02:34:18,320 Speaker 3: Yes? There are questions though about his pocket movement and 3001 02:34:18,480 --> 02:34:18,959 Speaker 3: arm strength. 3002 02:34:19,200 --> 02:34:21,440 Speaker 2: That's a fact. These are scouts saying it. Not me, 3003 02:34:23,120 --> 02:34:25,760 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel is not an artist. He's more of a scientist. 3004 02:34:26,560 --> 02:34:29,960 Speaker 2: He plays within the offensive structure, within the offensive framework. 3005 02:34:30,480 --> 02:34:32,640 Speaker 2: He had a hell of a much more impressive resume 3006 02:34:32,760 --> 02:34:36,560 Speaker 2: in college at two big schools Oklahoma and Oregon. Dean 3007 02:34:36,680 --> 02:34:39,279 Speaker 2: Sanders and Shoodoor Sanders were part of a major rebuild 3008 02:34:39,320 --> 02:34:39,840 Speaker 2: in Colorado. 3009 02:34:39,840 --> 02:34:42,280 Speaker 3: But they stay. We're thirteen to twelve. Okay. 3010 02:34:42,959 --> 02:34:45,840 Speaker 2: But Gabriel is also known for his quick decisions. He's 3011 02:34:45,879 --> 02:34:49,160 Speaker 2: got a very high completion rate. He set an FBS 3012 02:34:49,240 --> 02:34:52,600 Speaker 2: record for career starts. He's got tons of experience. Although 3013 02:34:53,000 --> 02:34:58,200 Speaker 2: the critics point out he has, you know, an average 3014 02:34:58,280 --> 02:35:03,000 Speaker 2: depth of target shorter, and you know that could inflate stats, 3015 02:35:03,120 --> 02:35:07,120 Speaker 2: just the way Shadors was inflated. So what's the bottom line. 3016 02:35:07,400 --> 02:35:10,879 Speaker 2: Gabriel basically has the edge and experience and consistency. He's 3017 02:35:10,920 --> 02:35:13,160 Speaker 2: better within a defiance system. I think he's more polished. 3018 02:35:13,640 --> 02:35:15,560 Speaker 2: I think he's every bit the passer, if not better. 3019 02:35:16,040 --> 02:35:18,640 Speaker 2: But there are folks who believe Sanders has the higher 3020 02:35:18,720 --> 02:35:23,560 Speaker 2: ceiling and potentially more long term potential as an NFL starter. 3021 02:35:24,760 --> 02:35:26,840 Speaker 2: Now let's see him do it on the field. Maybe 3022 02:35:26,879 --> 02:35:29,680 Speaker 2: he will again, that would be the story. By the way, 3023 02:35:29,800 --> 02:35:33,600 Speaker 2: not for nothing, somewhat flew under the radar because we 3024 02:35:33,640 --> 02:35:37,280 Speaker 2: had so much craziness the Ohio State Michigan game and 3025 02:35:37,360 --> 02:35:40,959 Speaker 2: all that was involved there, and of course the situation 3026 02:35:41,120 --> 02:35:43,040 Speaker 2: evolving Lane Kiffen, which had a way of kind of 3027 02:35:43,120 --> 02:35:45,960 Speaker 2: hijacking the news cycle and still not done. You wait, Sunday, 3028 02:35:46,000 --> 02:35:49,280 Speaker 2: it's going to be. It's going to lead everything because 3029 02:35:49,520 --> 02:35:55,840 Speaker 2: just to the dynamic. But Tuesday they will announce the 3030 02:35:56,480 --> 02:35:59,120 Speaker 2: second to last I guess they call it the penultimate Award. 3031 02:35:59,160 --> 02:36:00,920 Speaker 2: I'm not forbearing with that all of a sudden. Everybody 3032 02:36:01,000 --> 02:36:04,360 Speaker 2: uses now the last two or three years in terms 3033 02:36:04,360 --> 02:36:06,880 Speaker 2: of the college football playoff and if they've been pretty 3034 02:36:06,879 --> 02:36:09,240 Speaker 2: accurate on these things, and I don't think anybody can 3035 02:36:09,360 --> 02:36:14,280 Speaker 2: argue that Ohio State won Indiana two, Georgia should be three, 3036 02:36:15,440 --> 02:36:18,600 Speaker 2: Texas Tech should be four. That's the way they see it. 3037 02:36:18,879 --> 02:36:23,640 Speaker 2: They're projecting it and if that's the case, then all 3038 02:36:23,680 --> 02:36:26,520 Speaker 2: four of those teams would have first round bys. Now, 3039 02:36:26,600 --> 02:36:29,119 Speaker 2: for what it's worth, all four teams are at first 3040 02:36:29,200 --> 02:36:32,240 Speaker 2: round bys last year lost. Now one of them was 3041 02:36:32,280 --> 02:36:35,920 Speaker 2: Boise State. Nothing against Boise State, but Penn State kind 3042 02:36:35,959 --> 02:36:38,960 Speaker 2: of put a whooping on them. That would mean projectively, 3043 02:36:39,160 --> 02:36:41,760 Speaker 2: it looks like if the season were at end today, Tulane, 3044 02:36:41,800 --> 02:36:44,039 Speaker 2: who's the American chap would be sort of the at 3045 02:36:44,160 --> 02:36:48,120 Speaker 2: large group of five entrant. They'd be a twelve seed 3046 02:36:49,000 --> 02:36:51,800 Speaker 2: and they would have to visit Oregon. Oregon wouldn't get 3047 02:36:51,800 --> 02:36:55,880 Speaker 2: a first round by Virginia, Who's let's say they're the 3048 02:36:55,920 --> 02:36:59,200 Speaker 2: ACC champ. They're going to play Duke next week. They 3049 02:36:59,240 --> 02:37:00,879 Speaker 2: may not get in, I don't know. But if they're 3050 02:37:00,920 --> 02:37:03,080 Speaker 2: the ACC champ, the committee doesn't let him in and 3051 02:37:03,120 --> 02:37:05,000 Speaker 2: you win the ACC, what are we doing here? 3052 02:37:05,360 --> 02:37:05,640 Speaker 3: Okay? 3053 02:37:06,240 --> 02:37:08,360 Speaker 2: Now, if Duke wins, it's a five lost team. You 3054 02:37:08,440 --> 02:37:10,960 Speaker 2: got to mess on your hands. But I thought this 3055 02:37:11,080 --> 02:37:13,440 Speaker 2: was supposed to be championship based. Either way, just for 3056 02:37:13,520 --> 02:37:15,400 Speaker 2: the hell of it, work would be let's say it's Virginia, 3057 02:37:15,760 --> 02:37:19,760 Speaker 2: they would visit number six Texas A and m Alabama 3058 02:37:19,879 --> 02:37:21,880 Speaker 2: checks in at number ten. They'd have to go to 3059 02:37:22,000 --> 02:37:24,680 Speaker 2: Old Miss. Yeah, Old Miss is getting it. And even 3060 02:37:24,720 --> 02:37:26,960 Speaker 2: if flat Kiffin leaves, that ought to be a story 3061 02:37:27,120 --> 02:37:30,800 Speaker 2: in and of itself. Alabama versus Old Miss and then 3062 02:37:30,879 --> 02:37:35,160 Speaker 2: number nine Notre Dame at number eight Oklahoma where it 3063 02:37:35,240 --> 02:37:40,080 Speaker 2: goes for there is anybody's guests. Assuming Oregon wins, they 3064 02:37:40,080 --> 02:37:43,840 Speaker 2: would face off against Texas Tech Texas M A and 3065 02:37:44,000 --> 02:37:46,959 Speaker 2: M would be the winner most likely. 3066 02:37:48,480 --> 02:37:50,560 Speaker 3: Check that out. They would not have a bye, but 3067 02:37:50,680 --> 02:37:51,800 Speaker 3: most likely they would. 3068 02:37:51,600 --> 02:37:54,200 Speaker 2: Be the winner of their game and they would face 3069 02:37:54,280 --> 02:37:57,240 Speaker 2: Georgia in the second round, and the Alabama Old Miss 3070 02:37:57,280 --> 02:37:59,280 Speaker 2: winner would face number two Indiana. That'd be worth the 3071 02:37:59,320 --> 02:38:02,000 Speaker 2: price of admission, and then Notre Dame in Oklahoma would 3072 02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:04,800 Speaker 2: face number one Ohio State. So I am liking the 3073 02:38:04,840 --> 02:38:08,200 Speaker 2: twelve team playoff. I hope again the games on the 3074 02:38:08,280 --> 02:38:11,960 Speaker 2: field matter. That means whoever wins the SEC championship game. 3075 02:38:12,040 --> 02:38:14,119 Speaker 2: Grinn and Barrett, this is what she asked for. It's 3076 02:38:14,120 --> 02:38:17,680 Speaker 2: still better than the stupid made for TV Invitational tournament. 3077 02:38:18,320 --> 02:38:19,960 Speaker 2: And that's about all I got to say on that. 3078 02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:22,760 Speaker 2: It's going to do it for the Bernie Frattle Show. 3079 02:38:22,840 --> 02:38:24,320 Speaker 2: And yes, of course we'll be back on this chair. 3080 02:38:24,440 --> 02:38:27,040 Speaker 2: Next Saturday Night eleven pm. But in the meantime, stay 3081 02:38:27,120 --> 02:38:30,320 Speaker 2: tuned for the great Andy Furman Fox Sports Radio
