1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal Hell that for me, I'm 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well, 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: for Dake Edith Steak is that woo woof? And then 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: and Tye, welcome back to the solid verbal boys and girls, 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: my name is ty Hildebrand, joining me as always over 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: there in Chicago Land on this regal occasion. Regal the 8 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: one and only Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you? I'm great. 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: I miss having a live audience for this show. I'm 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: not gonna lie. You know, le bras being thrown at 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: the stage, you drunkenly needing to be revived with smelling 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: salts backstage. There's just there's a certain character, there's a 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: certain texture to the live fantasy Fantasy things experience. That's 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: what they say, by the way, in Barcelona fandom many things, 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: uh that it can't be replicated anymore. Now that we've 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: gone in that direction. Did we even do fantasy things 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: last year? I don't think we did. We were crustfallen 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: last year. Dan, Yeah, we didn't know what to do well. 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean the season was starting at different points for 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 1: different conferences, so it wasn't clear when we should actually 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: do it, so we just we decided to take a 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: by year. So happy to be back with the theme, 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: but sad that we are not doing it in a 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: theater with verbaler's stacked up to the rafters. It is sad, 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: but we are going to go on with this show 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: because the Fantasy Things, I think, without question, one of 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: our favorites that we do every year. I know it's 28 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: a crowd favorite obviously for the last couple seasons, not 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: last year, but twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen. This 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: is a thing that we did live. So we will 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: explain what Fantasy Things means momentarily in case you are 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: new to the program. If you are welcome in. I'm Ty, 33 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: he is Dan. This is the Celiverbal College Football Podcast. 34 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: We have been going three times a week now for 35 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Go back and listen to 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: all of our conference previews done, all the Power Five, 37 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: all the Group of Five, all of the Independence with 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: the lone exception of Yukon. But we decided, I think 39 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: as a group, if that's okay, we should have in retrospect, 40 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: disrespectfully previewed like the two thousand and three Yukon women's 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: basketball team, or whichever was like the greatest, considered to 42 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: be the best, like you, we should have like very 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: like we should have done a deep dive on Diana 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: Tarassi's perimeter game where we could have celebrated Yukon excellence 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: instead of wallowed in the depths. In lieu of a 46 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Yukon preview, we're going to spend five 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: good minutes talking about Jordan Todman. Now ready said, yeah, 48 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: II have good minutes about Jordan Todman. Sure, Dan Orlovsky 49 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 1: can get into the conversation anybody you want. Also going 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: out to verballers dot com. Verballers dot com is our Patreon. 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: In addition to those three shows that we're doing per week, 52 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: we do offer some bonus content as well, early access 53 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: to all of the shows that I just mentioned.

Forballers dot com, 57 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: you will also get access to a special thing that 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: we are working on, which we are not ready to 59 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: take the bubble wrap off of quite yet.

As we said 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: on the last program, you will have access to a 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: prize potentially if you do well enough that we are 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: utterly certain has never been offered before. Oh, we're so 64 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: silly for Ballers dot Com.

All right, Dan, here we go, 67 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Fantasy Things explain for the fine folks out there who 68 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe their mind is a little bit stale. 69 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: They've listened to us for a while, but they didn't 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: hear the Fantasy Things show a year ago. What is it? 71 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: How did it come to fruition? If you're new to 72 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: the show, what the hell is a Fantasy Thing? Give us? 73 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: Give us the backdrop here for what the Fantasy Things 74 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: draft all entails. We draft narratives, We draft storylines, We 75 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: draft occurrences. We build teams out of narrative, storylines and occurrences, tropes, 76 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: anything that that sort of can be repeatable throughout the 77 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: season that isn't just a player performing, which is what 78 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: we're used to as fantasy sports. That we're drafting players, 79 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: and the better the players that we draft do the 80 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: better our individual team does. No it is. For example, 81 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: are some of our favorite things over the years? Is 82 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: SO and SO has a little bit of Baker Mayfield 83 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: in them? What does it mean? Unclear? A little bit. 84 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: There's some Baker Mayfield to them, A little Baker may 85 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: I see some Baker Mayfield. Right, the backup is better 86 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: than the starter. The new defensive coordinator plans on bringing 87 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: an attacking, aggressive mentality and attacking aggressive defense of the team. 88 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: Strength coach. New strength coach doesn't know what they were 89 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: doing here before, but we're this is the big leagues. Now, 90 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: they're in for a rude awakening. The band playing Old 91 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: Town Road, all of these things, right, these commonalities. Dean 92 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: Blandino is wrong about a call he's weighing in on. 93 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: We like Dean Blandino. So yeah, the things that are 94 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: under the radar, funny or weird. That makes college football 95 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: what it is because it keeps happening in weird ways. 96 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Like you're big on weather, So like a lightning delay, 97 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: You love a good lightning delay because then it gets 98 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: us some radar information. The monsoon game, right, yeah, I 99 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: think I have down here, and I don't know if 100 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: we're going to draft it. But like, an example from 101 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: this year is when a game is going to overtime 102 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: and the next game has to be shifted to Fox 103 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: Business and we're like, wait, I have no idea what 104 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: Fox Business is on this cable CNBC, this game is 105 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: on CNBC, this game is on True TV, as is 106 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: the case with the NCAA tournament. So like, weird stuff 107 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: that does happen during the season doesn't always happen, but 108 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: gives us an excuse to celebrate the idiosyncrasies of the sport. 109 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: Idiosyncrasies I think is the name of the game here. 110 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: And at this point, I don't even think we're trying 111 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: to win now. I just think we're trying to dig 112 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: further than the other person, dig farther into the muck 113 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: that is the college football season, to come up with 114 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: the weirdest possible roster. We've tried a couple different ways 115 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: of keeping score. The first year, we just hashed it 116 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: out you and I. We got a rim one January. 117 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: The only feedback I got in response to that show, 118 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: how you bullied me, put me around. You didn't really 119 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: win by that much, but it made it worse. I'm 120 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: a competitive person. I don't know what to tell you, ty. 121 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: We tried to argue it out and that didn't really 122 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: work as well for me. We tried on a couple 123 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: separate occasions to actually keep track on a week to 124 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: week basis, and that just got laborious. That was ridiculous. 125 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: We're now at the point now where we're just going 126 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: to throw out some things that we're looking forward to 127 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: seeing this coming year. We can literally just we can 128 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: post our rosters on Twitter and conduct a poll whose 129 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: team seems more fun and weird exactly. So what we're 130 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: going to do. We have a long list here. It's 131 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: two pages, it's single space, It's a big old Google doc. 132 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 1: In traditional solid verbal fashion, we're going to go through 133 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: and follow the template that we did live. Each of 134 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: us is going to pick six items, count them six 135 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: items for our teams. As we are ready to give 136 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: our selections, you will hear that ESPN draft sound that 137 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: I stole from some website on the Internet to signify 138 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: that a selection isn't coming, And then we are going 139 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: to make our picks fill out our teams. It is 140 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: a snake draft that makes sense. How should we decide 141 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: who goes first? I will flip here, I have a 142 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: camera lens. I'm showing flimp camera for people who are 143 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: watching on the Patreon. I'll take sonny side up, Sony 144 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: side up. Yep, all right, here we go. I like 145 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: my eggs sony side up. It is you get selection? 146 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: I will I will take the number two and number three. 147 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: You want the bookend picks? Yes, alrighty. That means your 148 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: boys up first, Dan, Are you ready for this? I 149 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: put on a collared shirt. I'm excited. Oh I didn't 150 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: I have a T shirt with ping pong paddles on it. Yeah, 151 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: they have faces though they're happy ping pong paddles. Well, 152 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: one of them is with my first selection in the 153 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Solid Verbal Fantasy Things Draft. Yes, I 154 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: would like to select weird COVID training rituals, Dan uh, 155 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: not as relevant this year. You're talking about training at 156 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: a park in the garage, something like that. I feel 157 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: like this is going to be something that all the 158 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: studio shows, that all the broadcasts that they lean a 159 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: little heavier on they were in fall camp. Though Counterpoint 160 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: a game is thirty eight to three, five minutes left 161 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, the announcers still need something to 162 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: talk about. Let's talk about a kid pushing a tire uphill. 163 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: You know it's coming. Sure, this is what we call 164 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: announcer porn. Dan says here Michael bailed Hay to maintain 165 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: his upper body strength. Come on, you know they love 166 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: this stuff. Weird COVID train Did you do any weird 167 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: COVID training rituals? Did you alter your workouts? No? I 168 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: haven't done any training rituals. I haven't been to a 169 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: gym in a year and a half now, if that counts. 170 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: I used to go to a gym in Brooklyn, and 171 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: now I just get yoked at home and go for 172 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: runs and play tennis. So I guess I've altered my 173 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: training rituals. I don't think it's going to be all 174 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: that different. I don't, I mean than normal times for 175 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: these guys. The weight rooms are open. I want it's 176 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,119 Speaker 1: a risky play, but it definitely is. I'm not convinced 177 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: that the college football media landscape is over COVID the 178 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: way much of the country seems to be so any 179 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: little shred of goofiness in a training ritual, I expect 180 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: to hear that on a broadcast come Saturday. Okay, I 181 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: have two picks. Now correct, you do all right? The 182 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: pick is in pick number two. I'm going to go 183 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: with weird, goofy, curious, all of the sudden, nil endorsement. 184 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: Oh that's a good one. I'm going to go with 185 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: a kicker who just demolishes a sixty yarder to upset 186 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: a ranked team and gets an endorsement from Doctor Schulz. 187 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: You know something that's just like because doctor Schulz has 188 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: that sweet cash ty, I'm going with that impromptu out 189 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: of left fields. It doesn't have to be impromptu. It 190 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: could just be somebody who becomes a star and all 191 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden is more attractive to brands. But then 192 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: the deal that they sign is with somebody odd I'm 193 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: going to I'm going to definitely foresee somebody signing a 194 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: deal that that school's compliance department or the NCAA is 195 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: going to say, now, I don't know if you can 196 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: do that. They don't know what I don't and can't do. 197 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can endorse a casino in Macau. 198 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's going to fly. So I'm 199 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: going to go with something. I mean, I know this 200 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: is vague because I use a lot of adjectives, So 201 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: I will say either you said exceedingly curious, and I 202 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: think that's a good fit. So something that happens all 203 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden, or something that you know, there's like 204 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: a shady brand or somebody signs the deal but then 205 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: they have to walk it back. I'm going with that 206 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: with NIL weirdness. And by the way, there's another element, 207 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: another couple elements that I'm not taking. This is not 208 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: a blanket NIL, but yeah, exceedingly curious, name, image, likeness, endorsement, 209 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: sponsorship opportunity. Yeah, I think that's a good one, Dan, 210 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: and especially because it is such of a wild west 211 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: right now as it relates to player endorsements. Right. Yeah, 212 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: there will be things that happen throughout the course of 213 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: the season. We must have we must have half a dozen, 214 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: if not more NIL related items on our shared idea 215 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: bank here. Any never different directions you could go with this, 216 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: So I like it. I actually tweeted out shortly before 217 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: we hit record today the old commercial from Major League 218 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: One when they were just taking on whatever endorsements they 219 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: could get. I'm hoping we get awkward commercials like that 220 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: as we move forward now into this NIL era. I'm 221 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: very hopeful that somebody endorses something, and maybe it's an 222 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: FCS player. Maybe there's just somebody that's clearly just going 223 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: to be a one week wonder, who's like, lo're going 224 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,599 Speaker 1: to get taller, take these silver pills. Some don't know 225 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: this is not advisable. Yeah, I'm excited for that. All right, 226 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: you're on the clock. All right, pick number two for me. 227 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to go with something very specific here. I'm 228 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: going to go with coach gets caught doing something in 229 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: the booth, possibly picking their nose, picking their ears, choking 230 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: on iced tea. There. It's a very specific thing that 231 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: might happen once all year long, but when it does, 232 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: I treasure it. I absolutely treasure when a coach is 233 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: their glasses are all fogged up, there's something weird happening 234 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: to a coach in the booth. I love it. I 235 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: just do. I don't know why I'm picking at this highly, 236 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: but I love it and I wanted it on my team. Initially, 237 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: we jotted down coach gets caught picking nose right on 238 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: the broadcast, So now we're expanding that to gets caught 239 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: doing something. So a coach caught being a human being 240 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: in the booth. So anything beyond looking at his play sheet, 241 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: calling in a play, or talking to another coach in 242 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: the booth, Like if there's just a coach housing a 243 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: chili dog in the booth, that counts. That absolutely counts 244 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: any coach doing something relatably human. I'm not saying picking 245 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: the nose and eating your boogers is relatable, but I 246 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: will take it. I don't think this happens all that much. 247 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen all. You just want you just want it. 248 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: I am going to be laser focused. I'm going to 249 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: be laser focused on coaches doing fun, weird things in 250 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: the booth. Does it when they hit a big play 251 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: and they sort of erupt in celebration with high five? No, no, no, no, 252 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: that's a coaching thing to do. No, that doesn't count. Okay, 253 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: so we're talking just a normal human type of thing. Yeah, 254 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: something something that would make that coach's wife say, you know, 255 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: I really wish the camera weren't on him on that moment. 256 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: I really wish this weren't captured in ten ADP. I'm 257 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: on the clock. Yep, my second pick in the Fantasy 258 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: Things Draft. Dan, It's great to have the fans back. 259 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: Is that the thing it is so great to have 260 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: the fans back. How many times do you think we're 261 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: going to hear that throughout the course of the season, many, many, many, 262 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: many many. Great to have the fans back. Great to 263 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: have the fans back. Great to have the fans back back. 264 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: And my second pick, I select it's great to have 265 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: the fans back. I fully expect that we're going to 266 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: hear this at every studio show before the start of 267 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: every broadcast, probably three times during said broadcasts throughout the 268 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: course of the college football season, at least for the 269 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: first month, month and a half or so. How great 270 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: is it to have the fans back. It certainly adds 271 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: something to the TV product. That was one thing we 272 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: talked about at nauseum last season. It was just not 273 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: kind of not the sane. We don't have a crowd there. 274 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: There's not the same environment. It's different the whites, it's hollow. 275 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: They're pumping in other sounds. It's weird, right, It's great 276 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: to have the fans back. Do you think there will 277 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: be goofs with teams that are not playing well, that 278 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: have empty swaths of their stadium, that there will be 279 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: cracks like they know that you can come back now, right, No, 280 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt fans can come back. No Stanford fans they should 281 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: know either they're allowed in the stadium. They never left. 282 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: They just never came, period. Yeah, they never came. Yeah, Okay, 283 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: I think that's good. Great to have the fans back, 284 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: Great to have them back. My next pick, are you 285 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: familiar with the term year zero? Dan? I am familiar. Yeah, 286 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: year zero twenty twenty. Every preview publication that I looked 287 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: at talking about guys like Mel Tucker, right, first year guys? 288 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: Who else daved? Random? Year zero? Year zero? I don't 289 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: know who came up with year zero. Maybe it's like 290 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: a week zero. Who knows. Whoever came up with it 291 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: got a lot of run out of it. Probably Bill 292 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: Connolly if I had to guess, Yeah, here we are 293 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: as we move forward into twenty twenty one. There were 294 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: a slew of new coaches last year, and many of 295 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: them unfortunate. Jeff Hafley, your boy the half Yeah, Nick Rolovich, 296 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: these guys they had to install everything via zoom, which 297 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: is not optimal. Right, We've said as much. They've said 298 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: as much, and so what's happened now? I guess as 299 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: a means of giving some of these guys a mulligan 300 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: in some cases deservingly so. We've coined the term year zero, 301 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: not year one, because year one wasn't really not a 302 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: fully formed year. It was year zero. You can't count 303 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: what happened last year. Come on, that didn't count. It's 304 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: not even a it's a year zero training camp. I 305 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: fully expect that we're going to hear a ton of 306 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: Year zero, but probably early on in the season, maybe 307 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: not so much, you know, mid October onward, right, because 308 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: we're already sort of ensconced in the season. Totally fair, 309 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: totally fair. I want to get my points early. Let's 310 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: get them on the board. Let's not leave much to 311 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: chance late. That's why we're going with weird COVID training. 312 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: That's why we're going with great to have the fans back. 313 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: There is a point at which this could all fall apart. Sure, 314 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: trying to get my points early. Let's get in the clubhouse, 315 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: let's make you play catch up. All right? Is it 316 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: time for my picks? It is time for your picks? 317 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: Oh man? All right? I have one, I have one tie. 318 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: What do we got? I have an especially strange animated explainer, 319 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: especially strange, and now does it have to be TV animation. 320 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: I guess so if it's an animated explainer. ESPN has 321 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: really dipped into the like remember when all of a 322 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: sudden there was like a Korean animation firm that anytime 323 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: anything relatively controversial would happen inwood I know, inwood Swoop, 324 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: the Korean animation of like Lindsay Lohan getting in a 325 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: car accident. Right, And so for whatever reason, ESPN has 326 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: adopted that way of showcasing football things. And it's every 327 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: year it gets weirder and like, I don't know why 328 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: it exists, but it keeps existing. There was the one year, 329 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: remember when the game day hosts put on the weird 330 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: skin masks of coaches of teams that were playoff in 331 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: the range of the playoff, and there was like a 332 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: Gary Patterson mask and a Chip Kelly mask and a 333 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: Less Miles mask, and the they're all sort of making 334 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: cases for why their team was playoff worthy, but they 335 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: were talking behind the mess. We have like David Pollock 336 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: wearing an Art Brile's mask saying, just look at our offense. 337 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: Just looking at our offense with any about it. It's 338 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: just I appreciate going for it. I do, but I'm 339 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: going to take that weird animation thing because ESPN is 340 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: just getting stranger and stranger with them. I mean, I've 341 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: talked about their awful belt of a scoreboard, their graphics package, 342 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: so I have no doubt they're just leaning into this 343 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: for to get the attention of weirdos like ourselves. So yeah, 344 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: loing weird animated graphics and explainers that I feel as 345 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: if there was something with like NFL teams, like the 346 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: mascots represented with animation. Like it's just I love it 347 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: and I hate it all at the same time. Yeah, 348 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean, we've now entered the stage of broadcasts broadcast 349 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: media m HM, where most of the tricks have been tried, 350 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, not a whole lot out there. There's always 351 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: room for innovation to some extent, it just seems like 352 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: wherever the creative energy goes, it's not always aligned with 353 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: where you and I think it should go. Right case 354 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: in point, the score belt as you've called it. Yeah, 355 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the screen. CBS is doing the 356 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: thing with the four K cameras now that weird like 357 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: super zoomed in view. They've got the camera on the 358 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: field and they're going to follow guy's face as he 359 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: walks into the locker room. They do that thing now 360 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: a lot, and I don't know why, but they just 361 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: find ways to do it. And I think that furthers 362 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: the point of the weird animated explainer. It's just a 363 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: thing that they do because they can, and not really 364 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: because anybody wants it. Again, somebody is spending all week 365 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: working on Like, here's the TCU team, but all their 366 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 1: heads are frogs. They all have frog eyes. Get it? 367 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: Because they're the what why? Why? I love it? Yeah? 368 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: So is that my first pick or my second pick? 369 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: That was your first pick? What's your next pick? I'm 370 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: going to go with failed hurdles. I'm going to tell 371 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: you why to me a failed hurdle, because you're literally 372 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: laying your nuts on the line. Sure, of course, when 373 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: you go to hurdle somebody and it doesn't work and 374 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: you take a helmet to the crotch, I laugh, I 375 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: do laugh. I gotta be real with you, ty, I 376 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: appreciate the effort, but I've seen enough failed hurdles. Now, 377 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: real hurdles obviously superior to a failed hurdle or a 378 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: succeeded a successful hurdle. I'm going to go with that 379 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: failed hurdle. I love it so much because all of 380 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: the sudden it's a wrestling move gone wrong or on 381 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: extremely right, and I love it every time. I love 382 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: a failed hurdle, A failed hurdle, Dan, Yeah, a failed hurdle, 383 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 1: I would think you would go for a successful hurdle. 384 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: You would think you would think. I mean, these are cool, 385 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: those are fun to watch, I know, but there's something 386 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: about somebody overestimating their vertical, overestimating the reaction time of 387 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: the defender, and you get planted, right, you get absolutely 388 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: planted when you fail to hurdle somebody, well, you know. 389 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: Best case scenario is Saquon Barkley, and I think Saquon 390 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: sure almost popularized the move. Yeah, Reggie Bush did it, 391 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: but yeah, Saquon did it most recently and most frequently. 392 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: So that's the best case scenario. The worst case scenario 393 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: is what happened in like the Replacements, where the guy 394 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: got his knee blown off and he could never play again. 395 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: So there is there is definitely an art to trying it, 396 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: having the gumption to try it, and then not stick 397 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: the landing. I think Monty Ball messed it up against 398 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: Oregon and the Rose Bowl the twenty eleven season. Yeah, 399 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: I think he had a failed hurdle and I love it. 400 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: Failed hurdle, failed hurdle. It's interesting selection, Dan, thank you 401 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: very much. I'm just going with what I like. It's interesting. 402 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: I think that's the right play. Go with things like. 403 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: We have some more specific things for players and coaches 404 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: though as well. Speaking of things we like, my pick 405 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: mm hmm, I'm gonna go with shoehorned references to Ted Lasso. Dan, okay, okay, 406 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: explain you have not watched Ted Lasso, have you? I haven't. No. Well, 407 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: something happens when any sports related programming, sports related, you know, 408 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: fictional entity goes mainstream in the world, and that naturally 409 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: means that broadcasters, that naturally means that ESPN, Fox, anybody 410 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: calling a game with time to fill has to figure 411 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: out some way to use that cultural thing, maybe to 412 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: relate to the audience, you know, right, Ted Lasso is 413 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: about soccer. Jason sadaikas Ted Lasso is a soccer coach, 414 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: but he comes over to coach soccer after coaching college football. 415 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 1: I believe it Wichita State, yep, somewhere else, Rits. So 416 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: there's a college football tie in the show has obviously 417 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 1: blown up and got a ton of Emmy nominations, and 418 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure some wins here and there. It seems like 419 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: it's gotten to the point now where most people are 420 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: at least aware of ted Lasso as a thing, whereas 421 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: a year ago, I don't know if it was quite 422 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: as prominent as it's become now that we're in season two. 423 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: Do you love the show? It's a great show. Oh, okay, 424 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: to feel good show. But there's just a lot of 425 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: goofiness in the show that I feel like is almost 426 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: too easy to resist. Do you are you worried that 427 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: it could happen early? But because it's on app it's 428 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: on Apple, right, it's a competitor of Disney plus, competitor 429 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: of Fox. I don't know if people want to be 430 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: promoting it. I don't know if they're going to get 431 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: orders from up high. I mean, this is a Disney 432 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: sport now, I know so, and I thought about that. 433 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you there are there like a hook line? 434 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: Is there like something from ted Lasso in the way 435 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: that you know, if you quote something from Anchorman or 436 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: Dumb and Dumber, any sort of like these canon comedic 437 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: movies or whatever, even if they have nothing to do 438 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: with football, Like if somebody says that's going to leave 439 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: a mark, you know, it's okay, that's like Tommy Boy 440 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: or something. Is there that line from ted Lasso or 441 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: a selection of lines that are immediately already in like 442 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: TV canon. They used a line a lot in season one. 443 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: It's the hope that kills you. And Okay, as we've 444 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: talked about time and again here on the show, college 445 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: football is a sport that barters in hope. That's really 446 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: of course too, so I could envision something like that 447 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: being used. And he just had so many goofy comparisons, 448 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: so many strange analogies that there is a ted Lasso 449 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: tie in here. Part of what I see happening is 450 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: Apple coming in with a huge ad buy Okay, maybe 451 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: setting up one of those weird like extended commercials featuring 452 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: Ted Lasso as a college football coach, Like they're going 453 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: to find some way to force him into the college 454 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: football consciousness here vernacular. Yeah, as we get into twenty 455 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: one here, okay, And I don't know how, and part 456 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: of that, part of that frightens me because it's a 457 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: good show and I don't want to see them do 458 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: something dumb. I know they're going to. Is it? Is 459 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: it a crazy well watched show. It's like, does everybody 460 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: understand ted Lasso references? It's it's gotten to the point 461 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: where I believe it is Apple's biggest The morning show 462 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,239 Speaker 1: is very popular, but ted Lasso has sort of been 463 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: an unexpected breakout hit. Okay, and they're in season two. 464 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna at least do a season three. And it's 465 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: a cheerful, it's an upbeat, it's a fun show. If 466 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: people haven't watched it, I'm certain most people will like it. 467 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: I got my wife into it, and she's not into 468 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: sports content, so there will be forced ted Lassa references 469 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: this year. I mean you are also certain of like 470 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: a ton of Fortnite references that I don't know if 471 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: that happened. It happened occasionally, But I am always a 472 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: sucker for the pop culture thing that an answers want 473 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: to use as a common denominator. And I think this 474 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: could be it. I feel like this could be it. 475 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: Is it my turn? I believe it's my turn again? 476 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: Oh this is pick number two. You're right, I can 477 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: tell from the tone of your voice. You're not a 478 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: fan of any of my picks so far. I just 479 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: haven't watched Ted Lasso. All right, Well, no one's perfect. 480 00:28:53,040 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: It's okay, it's fine. My next pick, yeah, I'm going 481 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: to go with wise cracks about sixty year players. Dan, Oh, 482 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's a good pick. This one. 483 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna make some money on. I expect 484 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: a lot of Van Wilder jokes. Mm hmmm, a lot 485 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: of commentary about you know, this guy would normally be 486 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: working at corporation, a enterprise B. Call him a doctor, 487 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: call a lawyer. Yeah, it's almost sound with medical school. 488 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: But due to odd restrictions and due to expanded eligibility 489 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: rules from the NCAA, perhaps in year zero, I don't know, 490 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: whatever you want to phrase it as, Yeah, he has 491 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: to come back for a sixth year. In some cases, 492 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: might have guys coming back for a seventh year, Dan, 493 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: who knows that's true? Feels like the Eric King's been 494 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: around since the late nineties. Mm hmm. But alas we've 495 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: got a number of sixth year players. I think Oregon 496 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: might be starting a sixth year senior at tackle, boosting 497 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: that returning production in a big way mm hmm. It's 498 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: part of the reason why we have so many teams 499 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: with so much back going to the twenty one season, 500 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: and I feel like it's almost too easy to resist 501 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: or too hard to resist, too easy to make jokes 502 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: about the six year guys. Well, you also have announcers 503 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: joking about themselves. I was a sixth year senior, but 504 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't because of eligibility. Things stretched. It just struggled 505 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: with math. You'll get those. You will give me wise 506 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: cracks for six years, right, fair enough? You're up. So technically, 507 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: technically these are your last two picks. But we can 508 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: keep going because we have a huge list here. But 509 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: just I just think we can talk about the list 510 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: in general, just things that make us laugh. You're up. 511 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: Duce Vaughan is short. Deuce Vaughan is short. This is 512 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: a Tom Hammond special, isn't it. No, It's literally every 513 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: announcer is going to say that duce Van is five 514 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: to five because he is Kansas State's most obvious weapon. 515 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: Now if he gets hurt week three or get suspended 516 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: for accepting a sponsorship from a shady pill company or something, 517 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: duce Von being short, you know, the Mighty mouse or 518 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: whatever is absolutely just going to be an immediate talking 519 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: point for every broadcaster that broadcast Kansastate games. This is 520 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: this is my chunk of change. Pick right now. Duz 521 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: Van is short because he is. That's just the reality 522 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,479 Speaker 1: of the situation. And he's an incredible football player, and 523 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be mentioned every week. DU's van is short. 524 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: Do some allusion to duce Vaughan's height, all right, doesn't 525 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: that feel like it's going to do well? It's it's 526 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: very much got a brock Osweller a six foot seven 527 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: feel to it. Mm hmm. So yeah, it's it's very 528 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: much announcer thing if a guy is too tall or 529 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: too short, that it's notable to bring that up. And 530 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: who was the team? Was it? Asu that's got two 531 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: guys that are six seven on the offense? Really it 532 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: was one team that we talked about Osweiler. Yeah, it 533 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: was one team that we talked about recently where it 534 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, we're gonna hear about this again, aren't 535 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: we Yeah? Does it in Minnesota? Is like their right tackle? 536 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: It's from Australia. Daniel he was like four hundred pounds 537 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: when he came in. That's the thing people enjoy measurements measurables. No, 538 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going to take another measurable pick, but this 539 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: is my second pick is in athletes explaining in video 540 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: how to pronounce their last names and then optional the 541 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: announcer opting to just shorten them to a preferred nickname 542 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: a lah. I think we're gonna get a lot of 543 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: guys calling acc games that called dj U Yung Dju 544 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: Dju big big Sinco, Big Sinco. I think that'll be 545 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: less common. But in the way that we had to 546 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: have Tua explain how to pronounce his name, in the 547 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: way that I think it was star Lotulela for Utah 548 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: all those years ago, I think, and we're most certainly 549 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: going to have Dju Uyang l Lay explain how to 550 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: pronounce his last name in a video as if it's 551 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: his responsibility, over and over when the media guides are 552 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: readily available online and you can watch clips. But for 553 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: I guess the common fan watching the game curious to 554 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: know how to pronounce a player's name when it appears 555 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: in the lower chiron, I guess the player has to 556 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: explain it themselves. So I'm taking that because I think, 557 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: especially with one of the sports headline players in DJU 558 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: being around. I think that's going to be a thing. 559 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely it. It's okay. I think the announcer, the announcers 560 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: are going to really try. And I remember speaking to 561 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: our friend Yogi Roth who during the off season he 562 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: studies rosters and calls sids. He does like the all 563 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: of the research and homework. And I remember I think 564 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: it was now a former USC linebacker. He corrected me 565 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: and it was like, oh, it's not a ota something 566 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: like that. So that is that is a thing. I 567 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: think it's the thing I enjoy. Final pick, I'm gonna 568 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: go with stealth references to the point spread. Dan good pick, 569 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: very good pick. This is a thing that Musburger used 570 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: to do. Musburger always used to refer to our friends 571 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: in the desert, and I think Fouler has started doing 572 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: it a little bit as well, our friends in the desert. 573 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: I actually could have specifically called out our friends in 574 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: the desert, but I'm just going to go stealth references 575 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: to the point spread. This can take on many different forms, 576 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: as you know, right, it can be a straight up 577 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't even have to be sell. It can be 578 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: a straight up reference that yeah, I know they were 579 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: favored by seven points here. It could be there are 580 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: a particular group of people who are very interested in 581 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: what happens on this possession as it relates to the 582 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: over under or the point spread as a whole, so 583 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: many different ways that you can just sort of hint 584 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: at the fact that there is a large quantity of 585 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: money dependent on what happens next. And I feel like 586 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: it happens more than people realize every broadcast, every broadcaster 587 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: is where what the point spread is. They're always where 588 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: what it is they have to be. It's important contextual information. 589 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: How they choose to use that information is always interesting 590 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: to me. Before, of course, back in the day of Musburger, 591 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 1: when he was still around the game, it wasn't quite 592 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: as mainstream as it's become. Because now in most places, 593 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: if you want to place a bet, you can place 594 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: a bet. Even ESPN now right they're talking about point 595 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: spreads openly. They have a wagering show I believe on 596 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: maybe ESPN Plus or something. Yeah, and the Bears always 597 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: on talking about it like they're always talking about the 598 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: point spread. And I think it's important context I really do. 599 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: But as it relates to the actual broadcast. It's still 600 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: a thing that announcers feel the need to just casually mention, 601 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: subtly mention, ensuring that you know, if you know, you 602 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: know so stealth references to the point spread is my 603 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: sixth and final pick. You'll hear broadcasters, by the way, 604 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: say something like that field goal doesn't seem like it 605 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: would make a difference, but to some it does exactly. 606 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: There are some of those references at the end of 607 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: the games that whether or not somebody's hitting it over, 608 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: whether or not somebody is backdoor covering, there is that 609 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: element for sure. I'm going to make a proposal that 610 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: will each get one more pick. Okay, I had a 611 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: number of items that I pulled over from and I 612 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: haven't selected any of them yet. We did start an 613 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: idea bank at least I did. I have one that's 614 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: not on here that I'm gonna use my final pick on. 615 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 1: All right, so let me go first. I want to 616 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: use this one because this I jotted this down last 617 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: year and I was really excited about it. I would 618 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: like to select a play that is quote drawn up 619 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: in the dirt. It's a backyard play, right there, Just 620 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: a backyard play, just drawn up in the dirt play 621 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,280 Speaker 1: breaks down. It's a close cousin of having a little 622 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: bit of Baker Mayfield, didn't you sure? Busted? Play goes 623 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: for something you often hear play drawn up in the dirt. 624 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: That was going to be either my first or second 625 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: round selection last year. I was all in on play 626 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: drawn up in the dirt, and then we didn't do 627 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: the show. So I need to pay homage to twenty 628 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: twenty two year zero. What have you by going with 629 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: play drawn up in the dirt? So that is my 630 00:37:55,239 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 1: seventh selection, Dan, my, this is my seventh. Now, yeah, 631 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: my seventh selection is the SEC network really focuses on 632 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: the SEC portion of college football when discussing an issue. No, 633 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: not that at all. I am gonna go with hold On, 634 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Gus Johnson latches onto a fact 635 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: or nickname throughout a broadcast, so in the way that 636 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: he always claims that he is my partner Joel Klatt, 637 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: and then he goes the all American girl Jenny Taft. 638 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 1: He also will latch on during a fun fact about 639 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: a player, so like it's the old javelin thrower from 640 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: Toledo with the catch. This is a this is a 641 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: Musburger thing too. It's a Musburger thing absolutely, but being 642 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 1: and it's different from a fun fact that only interests 643 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 1: to Hammond because that sort of comes and goes right 644 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: that it's a GPA or his mom was the Librarian 645 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: of the Year or something. Just it's in the ether 646 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: kind of immediately. Yeah, Gus Johnson is a bulldog with 647 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: his background information where it's it's another tackle from the 648 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: terminator as they used to call him in Hanah Lulu. Yeah, 649 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: it's that's so much a Musburger thing too, Musburger influence 650 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: even on this latch years later.

I went out, 675 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: I found a to a video where they went around, 676 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: I think it was al dot Com went around and 677 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: they did, hey, how do you think you say this 678 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: guy's name?

To be clear, we called 682 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Football Johnny Manziel for a solid eight months. I 683 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: said Globe Tomatoes once, yeah, you did, you did. And 684 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 1: finally Gus Johnson latching onto a factor nickname. Mm hmm, 685 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,479 Speaker 1: oh my god loves it. We have a huge list 686 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: here of others go through that we did not get to. 687 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: Let me read. Let me read through some of the 688 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: ones that I jotted down. I actually made a top 689 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: twenty for myself. Yeah that I was into some of 690 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 1: the ones that I did not get. That on a 691 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,439 Speaker 1: draft board, my own draft board, Yeah, yeah, I had 692 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: vaccine controversies ranked pretty highly on here. It's a great pick. 693 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 1: It's a good pick. I kind of I didn't want 694 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: to get into that here. If you were to pick 695 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: that and you wanted to have a quote with it, 696 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: it would be it's sort of a personal situation, and 697 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: that would have done really well for you. It's sort 698 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: of a personal decision. I'm still doing research that would 699 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: have been for you. Yeah. I just I want everyone 700 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: to know that that was high on my draft board, 701 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: and I am listening for it. A character concerns with 702 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: that pick, Yeah, I I didn't really want to go 703 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: there with it. Okay, well, just I just want everyone 704 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: to know that was high and I am listening for 705 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: that type of content. But sure, a last vaccine controversies, 706 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 1: I jotted down the yips. I couldn't remember if we 707 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,919 Speaker 1: ever drafted the yips before in a fantasy things. It's 708 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: just nothing I enjoy celebrating. I don't enjoy celebrating it. 709 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: But the yips are having a little bit of a 710 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: renaissance now because of what happened with the Olympics with 711 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: Simone Bio. Sure. Yeah, twists, twisties, twist determine gymnastics. Yeah, which, 712 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: in fairness to her, the twisties are like, if you 713 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: have the twisties, you can be paralyzed. It's crazy serious, 714 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: let's be real. So it's a form of the yips, 715 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: and I feel like the yips are having a bit 716 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: of a comeback because of that. I don't celebrate them, 717 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: but it is funny. One somebody says it, so I 718 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: had the yips. It's a funny term. The yips, very 719 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: like a skittish dog. Yeah, okay, Next, I have Jack 720 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,840 Speaker 1: Cone puns, which may only apply according to you. He 721 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: might be supplanted midyear. Yeah. Yeah, and this may only 722 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: be me who does the Jack Cones puns. So I 723 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: didn't do it. I had player losing an NIL endorsement, 724 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: which totally on the table I think is covered by 725 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,479 Speaker 1: your nil weirdness, though also might be covered by weird 726 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: vaccine opinions potentially. So yeah, I have a quote unquote 727 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 1: chess match between coaches. Mm hmm, a player who blocks 728 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: out the noise or silences the critics. Sure, I have 729 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush getting Reggie Bush getting salty about nil, which 730 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: has already happened. I don't know if that Yeah, I 731 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: think you knew. Did he produce a documentary? I'm pretty 732 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: sure he did, not about nil, but about looking back 733 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: on what he went through in the punishment that is 734 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,760 Speaker 1: now considered to be not as serious intent twenty one correct. 735 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush wants his heisman back, and he wants I 736 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 1: think his stats re instated. That neither of those will happen, 737 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't think. But I have the bear dunking on 738 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: the rest of the Game day crew in like a 739 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: playful way, you know, because you'll have oftentimes this guy 740 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: and the bear who obviously knows his numbers and knows 741 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: the facts and the stats and everything better than anybody. 742 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: And then you have David Pollock with an extremely just 743 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,280 Speaker 1: emotional take that doesn't really it's not rooted in anything. 744 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: And then the bear has to He's put in this 745 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 1: situation where he has to playfully disagree and just sort 746 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: of dunks in everybody with his his superior knowledge of 747 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 1: the facts. Is it too late to select? David Pollock 748 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 1: believes it all starts upfront at the line of scrimmage. 749 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: It's too late. Is it too late to select? David 750 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: Pollack believes it starts upfront at the line of scrimmage. Damn, 751 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: that'll be on the big board for twenty two. Like 752 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: do you think? And I like David Pollock, he's been 753 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 1: on the show. I happen to think he's good at 754 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: what he does, very good. But do you think if 755 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 1: he comes down with some sort of mysterious ailment and 756 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: the doctors say to themselves, we need to induce a 757 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: coma to reduce swelling. He'll be okay and everything will 758 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: return to normal, but we need to put him in 759 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,720 Speaker 1: a coma, And then it's week eight of the college 760 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: football season, and he wakes up and he's rushed to 761 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: the set of Game Day and doesn't know anything that's 762 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,839 Speaker 1: happened during the season, hasn't watched anything, and doesn't even 763 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: know what game they're talking about. And Reest hosses it 764 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: to David and he insists that he can do the show, 765 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: and he says, what do you think of Wisconsin Michigan? Like, 766 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: who wins this game? David Pollock is gonna think for 767 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: a second and say, you know what, I'm thinking of 768 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: going Wisconsin. It just it all starts, starts up for 769 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, go with the Badgers here. I 770 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 1: wish I could have taken it, but I alas, I 771 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: am too late. I have a ref getting in the 772 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: way of a play ref interference. I love those. Yeah, 773 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: I have a team that would have been in the 774 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 1: top twelve hypothetically. Mm hmmm, I had. I should have 775 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 1: a future playoff, future playoff. I have a workout, a 776 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 1: video montage of a workout of an incredibly athletic player. 777 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: So like we saw the Evan Neil thing, we've talked 778 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: about it, or he jumps he does like the box 779 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: jump and then sticks the landing with a split at 780 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: the top. Just crazy. And then the last one on 781 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: my list here is a broadcaster who thinks t Lea 782 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: could even be better than Tua. Some say, okay Tongo 783 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,399 Speaker 1: by law? What else? What about? What about? I love 784 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 1: Brett Bielama knows the Big Ten as if the Big 785 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 1: Ten is an entity that remains the same every year. 786 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: He's a Shirpa and only a select few know how 787 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 1: to navigate that conference, right, Like Brett Bilima knows Farsi 788 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: like it's just something that exists that you are fluent in. 789 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: He knows, he knows the lay of the land, just 790 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: sort of the way that Mike Loxley knows the DMV. 791 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 1: I enjoy that. One Also subheading to that is Brett 792 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,760 Speaker 1: Bilama has a Hawkeye tattoo. Always enjoyable that he's coaching 793 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: a non Iowa team with an Iowa tattoo. Correct, That's 794 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: always good. I'm so ashamed that of all of the 795 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: all the information I've gathered throughout my life, all of 796 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,400 Speaker 1: the experiences I've now had with two small children, I 797 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 1: still know that Brett Bilama has an Iowa tattoo. That 798 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: information has not been pushed out these past few years, 799 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: not yet. Anyway, I have an impromptu lateral. Yeah, I 800 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: love that. Usually that'll happen on an interception that there's 801 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: a defensive player who's like, I know it to do, 802 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: throw the ball in midair and hope for the best, 803 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,719 Speaker 1: which is why they play safety, Which is why they 804 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: play safety. I have here. Oh, this is what it's 805 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,240 Speaker 1: all about. Yeah, right, I don't know what that means, 806 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,399 Speaker 1: because it applies to so many different things. Sometimes it's 807 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 1: just like a father and son sharing an ice cream 808 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,320 Speaker 1: in a like an Iowa State game or something. Sometimes 809 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: it's a walk on getting a scholarship. Sometimes it's everybody 810 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: jumping around between the third and fourth quarter. That's a 811 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: nice catch all that happens often enough. This is what 812 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: it's all about. Time you know what we missed? How 813 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: do we miss this one? What I died on the 814 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 1: phone when you told me this one? Which someone's mom's 815 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: athletic history. Oh that's great. Oh is that good? Like 816 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: a Javail McGee situation. Yeah, or Steph Curry's mom played volleyball. 817 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: It happens a lot in basketball. But that's great, that's great. 818 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: Actually the real star of the family. Yeah, man, how 819 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: do we miss that one. Yeah, what else do we 820 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 1: got here? Home team loses a color out game? Yep, yep. 821 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: I also like the because sometimes they'll be blackout games. 822 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: But I think Michigan's doing a maze out for the 823 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 1: Washington game. A maze out. What else do you have here? 824 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,880 Speaker 1: We missed, We missed the broadcasters with hot takes on 825 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: Texas and Oklahoma going to the SEC. Oh yeah, and 826 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 1: it'll happen during a MAC game. It'll happen to irrelevant. 827 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I like the way that college 828 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: football is headed. You know, this could be the end 829 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: of the sport as we know it. Yeah, that'll be 830 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: a lot of writers. I saw that happening with the 831 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: BYU scholarship situation. Speaking of writers, how about the sports 832 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,799 Speaker 1: writers who tweet out the picture from the booth with 833 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: the phrase today's office, Today's office, Today's office. Come on, guys, 834 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: today's office right here for Collins. I have, Oh man, 835 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: you really like you have? Gaeale Force wins. Love Gael 836 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: Force wins. It's the only weather element we haven't incorporated. 837 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: I've got roommate revelation as a throwback to the Colt 838 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: McCoy era of Texas football, Jordan Shipley, I've got the 839 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 1: use of masks as a platform of both trash talking motivation. 840 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,959 Speaker 1: I think that's combining a couple of different ones. Yeah, 841 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. Okay, because some of these stadiums, 842 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 1: some stadiums are going to require people to be masked up. Quote, 843 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 1: is this the year a group of five team makes 844 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: the playoff? No, but that question is going to be 845 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: asked because it is every year. Is this the year? 846 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 1: Is this the year? Look, Cincinnati is a top five 847 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 1: or top ten team? Mm hmmm, pre ss, you see 848 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 1: a path? Is this the year they're gonna ask? Let's 849 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: go to let's go to Joey Galloway and get his 850 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: thoughts on this, and he says, no, no, He'll he'll 851 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 1: beat around the bush a little bit, but joe Galloway 852 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 1: tells it straight. He'll be like, no, just not gonna happen. No, 853 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: probably not. You've got a random arch Manning reference on here. Yeah, 854 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: I I you know, it's probably something that will need 855 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,359 Speaker 1: to re tool next year. The problem is he doesn't 856 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: have an older brother currently playing. Right, Let's see about here. 857 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:39,799 Speaker 1: Coaches whose wives are friends. Oh that's good. Yeah, some 858 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: some sort of off field friendship, family friendship, or you 859 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 1: know Nick Saban and Dabbos Sweeney have vacation together or 860 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 1: run into each other on vacation. We got like that. 861 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: We got an email from a guy, Brian who listens 862 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: this is over a year ago, and I jotted it 863 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: down because I really really like it's very specific, very specific, 864 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 1: but you know it, it's a thing. I was real 865 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 1: close to pulling the trigger on Gus Malzon. Looking forward 866 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: to a fresh start, specifically a fresh start at UCF. 867 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 1: I have a zero yard touchdown. I love zero yard touchdowns. 868 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: So stripsack, somebody falls on the ball in the end 869 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 1: zone touchdown, or a blocked punt in the end zone 870 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 1: gets recovered, or a fumbled lateral in the end zone 871 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: gets recovered by the other team. I love a good 872 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,720 Speaker 1: zero yard touchdown. I love limited effort to score six points. 873 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 1: We're going to hear a lot this year about stadiums 874 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 1: being at some percent capacity. Mm hmm. Maybe it's one 875 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: hundred percent, maybe it's only seventy five. We're gonna hear 876 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 1: a lot about that. An emergency quarterback reference or a 877 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 1: guy who play quarterbacks, a guy who played quarterback in 878 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 1: high school. We just had it kind of with South 879 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 1: Carolina was zeb Nolan the GA. We talked about it. 880 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: This is a close cousin of the surprisingly left handed 881 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 1: backup quarterback wide receiver mm hmm, which we've drafted in 882 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 1: the past, the surprise left handed. Yeah. I love that. 883 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 1: I have shirt friendly acronym as something I'm looking forward to. 884 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 1: Last year we had l e oh with Indiana love everyone. 885 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 1: We had the I think Clemson has had a couple, right, 886 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 1: they had like the b yog bring your own Guts. Yeah, 887 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 1: if you remember that, we had the Roy Buss the 888 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: rest of y'all. Yeah, So shirt friendly acronym somebody, it's 889 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 1: gonna pop up somewhere now. Obviously Texas has gone all gas, 890 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 1: no breaks. I don't know if they're gonna go AGNB 891 00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: with their shirts. I haven't seen that yet. But if 892 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 1: really it's going to be Clemson, it's probably going to 893 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 1: be Dabbo just sitting at home thinking, all right, what's 894 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 1: this year's acronym. I look forward to it, That's what 895 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 1: I do. Oh, I've got happy Poncho fans. Oh yeah, 896 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,919 Speaker 1: it's pouring rain. It is a month absolutely, but they're 897 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: just happy to be there. Did they got a poncho 898 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,399 Speaker 1: for free. It was handed out at the gate by 899 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 1: a local sub shop something like that. It's basically a 900 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,240 Speaker 1: piece of cellophane, and you also run into the situation 901 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 1: where people can't put them on. Right. I'm so upset 902 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,880 Speaker 1: that I did not list and select. David Pollock explains 903 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 1: where it all starts. I'm gonna I'm gonna jot it 904 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 1: down here. That's that's just a fun wild card that 905 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,240 Speaker 1: everybody's on. Everybody's board. That's the center of the bingo card. 906 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: David Pollack explains where it all starts. I could go 907 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: with that. We could also go with controvers controversial vaccination 908 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 1: opinions as the center span. Yeah, I mean that's that's 909 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: that's a freebie. But we're staying we're staying out of 910 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: the business. Yeah, all right. Look, this was not the 911 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 1: format that we would have preferred to do this show. No, 912 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 1: we wanted to do this show. I think the plan 913 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: was to do this one in LA, wasn't it. Yeah, 914 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 1: we were gonna do a show in LA. We're going 915 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 1: to do it out West. We're going to do the 916 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,359 Speaker 1: show in LA. It didn't come together. For those who 917 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,879 Speaker 1: have asked us about live shows, it is something that 918 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 1: we are working on. However, we are taking it day 919 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 1: by day here because obviously you know, situations are changing 920 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,439 Speaker 1: as it relates to COVID. Hopefully it won't be as 921 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,720 Speaker 1: big a deal as we move a little bit deeper 922 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: into the college football season. But stay tuned for more 923 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,319 Speaker 1: information on that if you are interested in coming out 924 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: and seeing a show where we're going to try and 925 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: get out there and do some live stuff because it 926 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: is so much fun. But we will just have to 927 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 1: wait and see. See. Can I give you another fantasy thing? 928 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,839 Speaker 1: I just thought of. Where were these like three hours ago? 929 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, this is so specific, it's not 930 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 1: an actually good fantasy thing because it's it happens so infrequently. 931 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 1: But when a player is called for targeting and going 932 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 1: through all of the emotions on the sideline pacing and 933 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,279 Speaker 1: coaches are saying, it's cool, man, it's cool, it's cool. 934 00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: We'll get him next time, and he's so upset that 935 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,279 Speaker 1: he's going to kicked out of the game. But then 936 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 1: the targeting call is reversed and you have so much 937 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 1: emotion with the flip. I love that. I love the 938 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 1: down and then back. I like that, especially when nobody 939 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 1: gets injured. But no, I like the reverse target reverse targeting. Yeah, yeah, 940 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 1: well yeah, we have our picks. We will get them 941 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 1: posted somewhere before long. A week from now, we will 942 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,799 Speaker 1: have games to talk about. It is August the twenty third, 943 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: as many folks are listening to this week zero preview 944 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 1: is what is up next? And yeah, a week from 945 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 1: today we'll be doing reactions to the five games. We'll 946 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: be getting prepared for the week one preview as we 947 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: really dive into this thing over Labor Day weekend. So 948 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 1: hell yes, fantasy things now in the books. I think 949 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 1: that is kind of our annual rite of passage to 950 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 1: move board with the twenty one season. True for that 951 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: guy over there, my good friend Dan Rubinstein, for myself, 952 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,399 Speaker 1: tie heild and grant. We'll talk to you all soon. 953 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,440 Speaker 1: In the meantime, stay solid, peace,
