Falcons had four positive tests 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: this morning, according to sources. We don't know if those 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: are coaches, people in the front office, or players. The 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: Falcons play the Vikings coming up this weekend. We'll keep 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: an eye on this.

David Pollock, former college football player in fact, 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer, is going to join us. 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk about what's going on with the Alabama Georgia 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: game and coach Saban testing positive. We'll have a poll question, 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: play of the day, stat of the Day and you 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: can take part if you like.

Once again, 24 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: mcleven will have a poll question coming up. But when 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: it comes to college football coaches, Nick Saban is larger 26 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: than life and in a sport where players come and go, 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: Saban is one of the cornerstones and that's why the 28 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: news that he tested positive for the coronavirus felt so impactful. 29 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: They've been coaches in the college ranks and the pros 30 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: who have tested positive. Players, of course, have tested positive, 31 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: but Saban, it feels like he is above the Fray 32 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: programs eben Flow, but not Alabama. Since he took over, 33 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: they've been in that top spot or challenging for that 34 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: top spot every year. He has the answers, but his 35 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: diagnosis is just another subtle reminder the virus doesn't care 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: who you are. Saban said, he's asymptomatic for now and 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: hopefully he stays that way. Alabama has Georgia this weekend. 38 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: With Saban not coaching. The line went from my six 39 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: I think down to minus four minus four and a half. 40 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: That's how much of an impact coach Saban has, and 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: it might go down even further than that. But you know, 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: Saban is as respected as any coach in football or 43 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: any other sport. So it's going to be interesting to 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: see how he's involved in this game because right up 45 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: till ninety minutes before the kickoff, he has to cut 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: off communications with his sideline, his coaching staff, nothing during 47 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the game. But also I'm curious to see how coach 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: Saban uses his platform to share this experience with the coronavirus, 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: hopefully educating us as the sports world and everyone else 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: continues to fight this virus. But coach Saban and I 51 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: think he was being interviewed by Tom Ronaldi from the 52 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: Mother's Ship, and of course, of course Tom Ronaldi. Yeah, 53 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Tom Ronaldi brought his piano probably with him to Tuscaloosa. 54 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: But here is a coach Saban talking about getting ready 55 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: for Georgia. So we're still doing everything possible to get 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: ready for the Georgia game. I'll have normal meetings tomorrow. 57 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: Everything I'll be on Zoom will continue to do this, 58 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: you know, starts kind of filling in in my absence 59 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: for anything that needs coordinated in the office. But we're 60 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: going to do everything we can to help our team. 61 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how important the coaches during a game, 62 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: because coaches will tell you you do all your prep 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: work to get ready for that Saturday. So then everybody 64 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: knows their job and they try to carry that out. 65 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: But if like whenever a manager gets thrown out of 66 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: a baseball game, nobody goes, oh my god, they don't 67 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: have their manager football coach Saban coach Belichick more hands on, 68 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: feels like that's a big loss. The fact that coach 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: Saban could affect the betting line by at least two 70 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: to two and a half points is pretty interesting. I 71 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: don't know the last time a coach affected a betting line, 72 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: and maybe Vegas could help us with that. Yes, McLevin. 73 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Do they do that halftime speech in the movies? Like 74 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: is that a factor? Well, I don't know what coach 75 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Saban says at halftime? Is everyone different? I'm assuming he'll 76 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: have a halftime speech. Are you talking about a fire 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: in bridge? Like? You know Belichick is always awesome in 78 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: the second half. Do they give like that speech of 79 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: Saban the address the team and get them fired up? Like? 80 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Is that a factor in a betting line? I don't 81 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: think Belichick gives a raw raw this is a Hollywood 82 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: type speech. I think he just says, this is what 83 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna do in the third quarter, Let's go get him. 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: Who's with me, Let's go Yeah. Yeah, I think that's 85 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: what he does. That his genius is not. And we're 86 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: gonna win, win, win, you know, we're gonna win one 87 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: for the gipperh No, it's just he just says, uh, 88 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: let me break this down and this is what we're 89 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna do, and then let's go ahead and do it. 90 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: And I've been coach Saban doesn't strike me as a 91 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: fire and brimstone. I'm gonna smash a locker or something 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: or smash a mirror. Yeah, Paul, but this had to 93 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: happen against Georgia Georgia week, not you tea Chattanooga week, 94 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: not Samford week. Just at the timing with nuts, here's 95 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: coach Saban about what he'll be doing during the game. Obviously, 96 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: Stark has been a head coach before, and I'm not 97 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: sure exactly how this is going to play out in 98 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: terms of the game comes you know, whether I can 99 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: have communication with people or not. So we'll have to 100 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: research and sort of figure that one out. But we 101 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: did have a plan for each coach on the staff 102 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: as to what might happen, and we just got to 103 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: go from there. Just like if we lose a player, 104 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: we have to do the same thing. So we'll talk 105 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: to David Pollock, who played for Georgia, and he'll join us. 106 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: Coming up a little bit here, Florida LSU was postponed. 107 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: I know that there are people looking at the sky 108 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: is falling in the SEC, but let's go back and 109 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: look at the number of games that have been played. 110 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: Twenty six of twenty eight games have been played, so 111 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: two have been postponed. Those are pretty good odds right now. 112 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: And they did build in a bye week to be 113 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: able to reschedule the game. The SEC has done a 114 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: pretty good job here. Baseball is about to finish the 115 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: season and go to the World Series. The NBA did it, 116 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: the NHL did it. We've had golf, although Dustin Johnson 117 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: just tested positive. We played Majors, We got the Masters 118 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: coming up next month. The sports world has done a 119 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: pretty good job here. I'm not all in on having 120 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: fans go back. In fact, prior to when Dan Mullin 121 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: said I want ninety thousand fans there for the game 122 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: in the Swamp and I'm gonna no, you're not getting 123 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: ninety thousand, maybe nine thousand. Dan, Maybe do a better 124 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: job coaching. It doesn't matter how many fans are in 125 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: the stands if you're coaching well, and you know they 126 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: have that game against LSU. But as far as the players, 127 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: it feels like everybody is doing a pretty good job. 128 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: But this one with the coach Saban, the floor to 129 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: LSU game postponed and we'll find out because I think 130 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: they're more Alabama players that'll be tested today from what 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm told, And then I don't know if they're tested 132 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: on Friday, because there are certain teams, certain leagues that 133 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: they'll test on Friday. And as a source told me 134 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: that they didn't know if they would have players ready 135 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: for Saturday until Saturday when they were playing their games. 136 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: You might have other players on Alabama the test positive. 137 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: If the head coach, the athletic director, were they in 138 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: contact with other coaches anybody else asymptomatic here, were they 139 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: in close proximity to players as well? Those are the 140 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: things to keep an eye on because this game could 141 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: be in jeopardy because of that. But coach Saban testing positive, 142 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: the athletic director at Alabama testing positive. What are the 143 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: odds just those two and coach Saban is one of 144 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: those on the field involved in drills. It's not like 145 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: he's up on an ivory tower looking down. Yeah, Paul, 146 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: is there anything in sports you'd more want a camera 147 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: on the Nick Saban with a sandwich and a doctor 148 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: pepper his living room for four hours watching his team helplessly, 149 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: no matter what the outcome is. I would give anything 150 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: if you told me it was forty nine five pay 151 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: per view to watch Nick Saban watch Alabama Georgia. Take 152 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: my money, take it. I'm there with you, Like, I'd 153 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: be curious just if we got okay, so we only 154 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: got access to him when he's in his study or 155 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: his man cave. There audio direct shot, that's it. Yeah. 156 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: If if his wife comes in or anybody comes in, 157 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: then they're part of the reality show. If I could 158 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: do that and have picture and picture with coach Saban, 159 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: and I would have the game sound down and I 160 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: would just be listening to Coach Saban yelling at the 161 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: TV Nclevin, we kind of poll question do you have? 162 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: I got to get to other headlines here, By the way, 163 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: the Dodgers spank the brave fifteen to three, Astros stay alive, 164 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: still down three games to one. I love that these 165 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: games are every day. I love it and I've been 166 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: watching it. You know, the Dodgers starting earlier and you 167 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: didn't have to watch too Like I was bummed it 168 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: was eleven nothing in the first in Ago. What am 169 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: I gonna watch now? And you start flipping around? I 170 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: watched Louisiana against Coastal Carolina on the Mothership Football for 171 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: a little while, and then I waited for the Raids 172 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: in the Astros. He asked mcklevin, By the way, we're 173 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: getting spoiled. No Thursday night, no football tonight. What am 174 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: I gonna be? Okay? So pol question? Is Nick Saban 175 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: the most famous coach alive? If I put Nick Saban, 176 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Coach K, who is are they all 177 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: in the same exact level? Coach K is more famous 178 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: because he does commercials, this is this has been high 179 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: level stuff for thirty years at the same place. And 180 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: the fact that it's coach K. You know it's duke 181 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: Basketball's worldwide and you know he's coached the Olympic team. 182 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: I probably say Coach K is more famous. I think 183 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: he's not afraid to be famous. I don't think Belichick 184 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: tries to be famous, and I don't think Saban tries 185 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: to be famous. They're famous because they win. Coach K wins. 186 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: But he's also a good interview. He's available. You know 187 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: Saban's available. You see twice a year. You know, he's 188 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: very generous with his time when he comes on. But 189 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: you know Belichick, he does a local hit in Boston 190 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: and he probably gets a paid local radio hit that 191 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: he gets once a week. So I would say it's 192 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: it's coach K. What else do you have? It wasn't 193 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: Saban leaning towards TV too? He likes TV is or 194 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: is that Urban Meyer? I can't remember. Saban did a 195 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: stint on both. Yeah. Yeah, game day? What sports coach 196 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: is the most important? And I'm going to separate NFL 197 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: and college football and then MBA and MLB. What is 198 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: the most important job on game day? I've asked this before. 199 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: H Well, I guess it depends who the coach is. 200 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: If you're saying Bill Belichick on game day, I'd say 201 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: there's no more important coach on game day than Belichick is. 202 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: As far as college football goes, I don't know how 203 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: much adjusting you do during a game, like the coordinators do, 204 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: but it just feels like it's Belichick. I mean, he's 205 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: known for this. Opposing coaches talk about in Marvel that 206 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: Belichick will do something first quarter that's different from the 207 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: second quarter, that's different from the third quarter. He just 208 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: has that ability to find something and then he's waiting 209 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: to unleash it on you. Or the adjustment at halftime. 210 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the brilliance when you do it in 211 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: the moment, as opposed to you got a week to 212 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: prepare for somebody, you know. I mean, that's altered the 213 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: NFL's history because of Belichick's ability to adjust during big games. Yeampaul, 214 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: you asked Rodney Harrison, a former Patriot, what happens at halftime? 215 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: He said, Dan, it's eleven minutes. He goes to the 216 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: defensive captain and the offensive captain go to their coordinators. 217 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: They tell them something, one big chunk of information. They 218 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: run that up to Belichick Belichick, and they sit for 219 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: two or three minutes together and it flows back down 220 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: to the players and it all happens in eleven minutes. 221 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: This program is brought to you by NBC Sports.

Mclovin, Okay, who do you got, 227 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: Braves or Dodgers? And if we put that poll up, 228 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: which way are people vote? It's gonna be Dodgers. Today 229 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: they're leading one two in the series. Yeah, I did 230 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: the math here. The Dodgers fifteen runs are the most 231 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: that any team has ever scored during the first three 232 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: innings of a postseason game. If you combine the first 233 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: three innings last night the final three innings of Game two, 234 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: the Braves have allowed twenty two runs over a six 235 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: inning span that compared to six runs total. And there 236 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: are other seventy innings this postseason. Stead of your day, 237 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: day that best stat of the day? Stat of the day? 238 00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: Here comes that? What stat of the day. And somebody 239 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: said to me last night, is there a mercy rule? 240 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: Should there be a mercy rule? And I said no, 241 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: why would you have a mercy rule. If I'm the 242 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: Dodgers and I'm Dave Roberts, I want you to use 243 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: up your bullpen. I mean, imagine if you go, hey, 244 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: after five innings, if you're up by more than eleven runs, 245 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: then there's a mercy rule. And I thought, no, that's silly. 246 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we have some new rules in baseball this year, 247 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: like extra innings. You started second base, but I want 248 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: you using up your bullpen. And that's what Dave Roberts 249 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: wanted to do. I'm swinging for the fences. There's no 250 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: margin where I go. You know what, We're not going 251 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: to go for any more hits, no more home runs. 252 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: You gotta tax that bullpen. Because now things line up 253 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: really well for the Dodgers because Clayton Kershaw's pitching maybe 254 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: the biggest game of his life, certainly, you know, in 255 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: the top five. Because if he wins Walker Bueller, then 256 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: it sets up nicely for the Dodgers. And the Dodgers, 257 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: by the way, are now back to being favorites in 258 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: the National League, A slight favorite. That's all it took 259 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: is eleven runs in the first inning. Yes, mclovin, I 260 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: saw a lot of Twitter baseball writers complaining that the 261 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: Dodgers pitchers were like nibbling at the corners and like 262 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: in the back old school baseball, it's an unwritten rule 263 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: that you throw fastballs when you're up by ten runs, 264 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: and that they weren't doing that, like the bus are 265 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: only these of the world was saying, why are these 266 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: pitchers like pitching as if it's a close game, don't 267 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: you when you're up throw fastballs. You don't steal bases, 268 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: You just try and get it through it? Okay, But 269 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: if they can score eleven, can the brave score eleven? 270 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: I like, how we go, Hey, you guys, he's up here. Meanwhile, 271 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: these guys are trying their best to hit home runs. 272 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: You'll score runs. They want to tax your pitcher. But 273 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: if you say, hey, we promise not to come back, 274 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: we'll throw strikes. Yes, Ton, And if you're up thirty 275 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: to three in the NFL, you're gonna just play a 276 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: prevent defense the whole rest of the way and just 277 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: give up ten twenty odds that I will play. Yeah, 278 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: you're going, you know I want to put although I 279 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: will say we always look at oh that momentum going 280 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: into the next game. Keep in mind what happened in 281 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Red Sox. In the ALCS. The 282 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: Yankees blew out the Red Sox in a game that 283 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: it was something like fifteen to two, and we thought, 284 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, they're just killing the Red Sox and 285 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. It was one game. Go back to 286 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: the Pirates and the Yankees in the nineteen sixty World Series. 287 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: Pirates won all their games by like one run. The 288 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: Yankees dominated when they won, they won their three games. 289 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: They dominated. Pirates just held on to win. And that's 290 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, momentum is your next day's starter. That's really 291 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: what this comes down to. Yeah, that game you're talking 292 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: about Yankees red Sox was nineteen to eight, oh, nineteen eighth. 293 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: I should know that. I was there. I forgot like 294 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: after a while, you're like, is it over end? Is 295 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: that over end? Yeah? Paul? Was it all four Alcs? 296 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: Somebody won fifteen to two? Game three? I think it was. 297 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: Was it Yankees beat through the Red Sox fifteen to 298 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: two or something. Wasn't there a Blue Jays Phillies game 299 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: that the Blue Jays there was a blowout in one 300 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: of those games. But I've seen this with basketball before 301 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: where you go, Oh, they blew them out Game one 302 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: and then yeah, Game three of the four Alcs, Game 303 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: three Yankees one, nineteen to eight. Yeah, there an echo 304 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: in here. That's what Seaton just said. Oh, I'm sorry, 305 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about the one back in 306 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: the eighties one you were talking about.

Did we decide 369 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: on a pull question before we bring in David Pollock 370 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: from the Mothership. Let's start with that question. Which coach 371 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: is most important on game day? NFL, college Football, NBA, 372 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: or MLB. David Pollock and the College Game Day crew 373 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: will be lying from Tuscaloosa this weekend at nine am 374 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: on ESPN. Let me start with the role of the 375 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: head coach. With Nick Saban not there, David, how important 376 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: is it having your head coach there? The role that 377 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: he plays on game day as opposed to what happens 378 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: during the week. Not every head coach has made the 379 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: same first of all, which is which is important to know. 380 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: But Nick Saban is he is mister detail. Everything runs 381 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: through Nick Saban, like coin toss, Dan, Who's going out there, 382 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: which side they're going to defend? Two point players. By 383 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: the way, warm ups, he's looking at kickers on the 384 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: hash like he's he made it from X he ran 385 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: this play from there. I mean, he's literally as involved 386 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: as any coach in all of college football. So to 387 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: answer your poll question, I literally would put Nick Saban 388 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: at the top of that list. So them not having that, 389 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: And that's that's just from a schematic standpoint, right, I'm 390 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: not even talking about from a motivation standpoint. You've seen 391 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: him get after his guys, and his guys know like, 392 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: you better show up and you better do your job. 393 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: Now you know Dad's not over your shoulder over there 394 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: looking at you. It allows you to relax a little 395 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: bit and maybe not play as as energetic and maybe 396 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: not be as tense. And by the way, he also 397 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: puts his coaches on notice. All those dudes know they 398 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: better bring it too. So this is a huge loss. Man. 399 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: It's not just a game manager. This isn't Bobby Bowden 400 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: that oversaw everything late in his career or Joe pau 401 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: This is a guy that's in Everything in that building 402 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: goes through Nick Saban. Can you imagine Saban at home 403 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: during this game, dude, No way, No, he ain't gonna 404 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: be at home, by the way, I'm telling you, we 405 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: need to have a contest whoever finds him in the 406 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: stadium in the box on the sideline. Like the fine 407 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: Nick Saban games. He's he's so controlling and he's got 408 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: his hand on everything. I just can't And the rules stipulate, 409 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: by the way, that he can't have any communication with him, 410 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: so he can't go back and forth. Now, listen, it 411 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: doesn't say anything about text message, but he can't can't 412 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: have a phone conversation and have a direct line or 413 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: direct contact. And I don't see it happening. Dan, He's 414 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: gonna find a way to make that happen. Do you 415 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: think he's going to be in communication with somebody on 416 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: the sidelines during the game. Yes, I think. Listen, it 417 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: doesn't say anything about text message in the by law, 418 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: so I think he can text. But you know, I 419 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: still think it's Think about this game and how it 420 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: was decided. The last two times Georgia faced Alabama, Alabama 421 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: put in backup quarterbacks. Nick Saban had to make that 422 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: call on the sidelines. You got to look in people's 423 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: eyes and make that call. So yeah, he's gonna have 424 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: to have more trust than he ever has Sarkasian. Obviously, 425 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: he's he's been a head coach in the past, so 426 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: he's kind of got some experience. But I think Nick 427 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: will find a way to make sure that he's got 428 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: his hands on everything and he's he's making calls and 429 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 1: he's trying to put his team in the best position 430 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: to succeed. But I think it's gonna be difficult because 431 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: the rules state you can't. But it's the SEC. I mean, 432 00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: the rules kind of optional down South. Bro came from 433 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: experience having played in the SEC. Yes, schools don't always apply. 434 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's not you know, it's not always. It's 435 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: not always a game. But if Georgia is gonna get him, 436 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: this is like you're running out of excuses here, David. Yeah. 437 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: But you know what though, here's the thing. Even if 438 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: Georgia wins, you know Nicks, Nick's assistant's he's undefeated against 439 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: all of his assistants, does this count Like Hick wasn't there, 440 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: so it really doesn't matter. You know, It's interesting too 441 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: for the playoff picture, Dan, because this game really doesn't 442 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: matter as long as this is a close game and 443 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: neither team gets boat raced, You're still very much in 444 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: the playoff picture. You're still you still got a rematch 445 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: in December. Probably the way things are looking where you 446 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: can go at it again and both those teams will 447 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: be a lie. But um no, if George, if you're 448 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: a Georgia fan, you're like, all right, well, how how 449 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 1: much I had Georgia fans? Obviously I want to University 450 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: of Georgia fans texting me, Well, wait a minute, he 451 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: was close to his defense all weekend. Do we need 452 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: accord game? So I think if you're George and you're 453 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: definitely like, wait a minute, if it's going to happen, 454 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: this has to be the year. Well. Also, I think 455 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: we have to keep an eye out on more positive 456 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: test at Alabama because coach Saban's one of those I'm 457 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: on the field, I'm involved with the players here and 458 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: with other coaches, So I don't know if they're tested today. 459 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: How many times are you tested during the course of 460 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: a week during the season. Every school is different, but 461 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: Alabama's testing every day. Okay. So, and so here's the thing. 462 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: By the way, they're the only two, you know, the 463 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: ad and Nick Saban are the two that tested positive. 464 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: No players, But it could be a false positive. What 465 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: if it comes back today and it's not positive and 466 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: we just had twenty four hours of madness and craziness 467 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: and now Nick's going to be back at practice and 468 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: things can be back to normal. So the more. Here's 469 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: the thing. If you're not like all coaches across college football, Dan, 470 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: they read Nick Saban's books, and they read all these 471 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: books of these coaches and how they think and formulate. Well, 472 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: this year isn't about that. This year you better be 473 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: able to You better be able to improvise. You better 474 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: be able to come up with some stuff on the 475 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: fly on your own. You better be practicing people at 476 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: multiple positions, and you better have plans for when coaches 477 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: aren't there. I mean, you saw it with Mike Norvelle 478 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: from Florida State. He didn't get to coach the game. 479 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: You saw Virginia text defensive coordinator last two weeks, didn't 480 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: get to be at the game. You better be able 481 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: to adapt and improvise this year more than ever. He's 482 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: David Pollock, former NFL player, and uh, when are you 483 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: going into the College Football Hall of Fame? Well, it 484 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: was it was supposed to be this year. But they're 485 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: not doing the the induction ceremony because of all the 486 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: stuff that's going on. So I think next year though, 487 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: if they as they ran out of people to put in, 488 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: so they're gonna put me in next year. No stop, 489 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: what are you benching these days? Can you bench more 490 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: than Fowler? Yes? Come on, I don't know. I'd better 491 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: be able to listen. I know Fowler swoll, but I 492 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: mean if I can't bench more than Fowler, I think 493 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: I would have problems. But I don't go around the 494 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: heavyweight anymore. Dan, I don't need that stuff anymore. I'm 495 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: more of a res guy. We're done with bad Fowler 496 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: is filling the sleeves. Man. He's strong, he's stout, he's 497 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: always taken pride in that. You know, he's got to 498 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: look good in that suit. Man, he's got to Phillip Puppiel. 499 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: It's North Carolina for real. Well, I mean you watch 500 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: their offense and you go, yeah, they just dropped fifty 501 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: on Virginia Tech even though half of Virginia Tech's defense 502 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: wasn't there. But their defense gave up forty. So I 503 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: think they're I think they're a team that is, they 504 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: found their quarterback that got a lot of skill. They've 505 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: got a really good offense, but they're not a team 506 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: that's recruited an elite level for a bunch of years. 507 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: So they're really good, but there I don't think they're 508 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: on the level of Clemsons and these playoff teams that 509 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: have been recruited a high level for a long time. 510 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: But they don't play Clemson this year. Well, they might 511 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: play in the a SEC champion game, but they got 512 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. They got Notre Dame and listen, Notre Dames 513 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: in a position where Notre Dames recruited better and been 514 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: better for longer. So I think Notre Dames a team 515 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: that could obviously get them too. But I'm interested to 516 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: see the ACC with Notre Dame and we say, you 517 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: know Clemson did last week, right, Miami is like, hey, 518 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: Miami's covering, Miami's covering. Clemson's like, shut up, sit down, 519 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: like we're not ready to hear from you. So it's 520 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. Hopefully Notre Dame will give, you know, 521 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: Clemson a game and we'll start to see them get 522 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: challenged at some point because right now it's the ACC. 523 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of like Clemson Okay, then you just push 524 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: people in the face and tell them to shut up 525 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: and sit down. Yeah, And I'm gonna guess if Notre 526 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: Dame played Clemson now I think they play in two 527 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: or three weeks, Clemson's probably going to be close to 528 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: a two touchdown favorite. Yeah, double digit, I'm going to guess. Yeah. 529 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: And Notre Dame had a game and then three weeks 530 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: off and and so they're still kind of finding themselves 531 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: with new weapons. But I'll tell what their offensive line. 532 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: Notre Dame is one of the best in the country, 533 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: and Ian Book has a lot of experience, so you 534 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: would hope they would make some plays. But I also 535 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 1: said that about de Eric King in Miami, that they 536 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: were gonna make some plays, and Brent Vinables and that 537 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: Clemson defense just next guy up, next freak up, next 538 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: five star, putting them in there, and they look pretty bad. 539 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm good. What would your philosophy be if you're a 540 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: Big ten school or a Pac twel school to try 541 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: to impress the voters, just play and try to win 542 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: as much as you can. But here's the thing. We're 543 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: seeing games getting canceled this week. So remember the Big 544 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: Ten has ten consecutive games in a row. So is 545 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: that gonna happen? I mean, you're not gonna have I 546 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: think you're not. I don't think you're gonna get through 547 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: Corona without having something come up. And maybe that's two 548 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: weeks of your season. The Pac twelve has seven games consecutive. 549 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: So listen, this is a year that's it's crazy enough 550 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: as it is. Just play really good football. Maybe you 551 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: got a chance. But I don't understand why the expansion conversation. 552 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: Is it more? I get pissed every week we talked 553 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: about I'm gonna bring it up to Reese every week 554 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: on game day. He's gonna ignore me every single week. 555 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: But in the year of twenty twenty, why the heck 556 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: would we not expand the playoffs. We don't know as 557 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: much about the teams. We don't have as much information, 558 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: we didn't have as much spring ball and fall practice. 559 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: So let's expand it. Get a few more teams in there, 560 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: because now we know we got it right and the 561 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: best team's gonna win. But I'm with you on that, David, 562 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: because especially this here where you need to raise money. 563 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: You need to make money because you have athletic departments 564 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: that have been really decimated here, and if you could 565 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: add four more schools to this. I know we always 566 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: look at the integrity of the bowl games. Well, you 567 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: can still have Bowl games here, but if you're not 568 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,719 Speaker 1: going to have fans, we don't worry about filling the 569 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: stadiums of these bowl games. You could still have the 570 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: Fiesta Bowl as part of, you know, the playoff process 571 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: here there just wouldn't be fans because we were worried about, well, 572 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: how many games can fans go to during normal times? 573 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: But man, expanding it to at least eight this year, 574 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: I think this is a I think these college athletic 575 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: departments needed. It's the perfect year, it's the perfect storm. 576 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: And listen, we don't we're not saying we have to 577 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: keep it that way. But in a year where everything's changing, 578 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: everything's been so crazy, why not expanded a little bit 579 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: and get more teams in there and it makes everything? Yeah, 580 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: raise more money, more TV rights? Yeah, so our company 581 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: won't buy more of that? Yes? Please? I mean and 582 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: put it on air, like more advertising dollars, like more 583 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: By the way to why is why is Reese Davis 584 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: not giving you the platform you deserve? Who is Reese Davis. 585 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: He's an Arkansas guy, so he doesn't know anything about football. 586 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: Reese is Reese is the man though, so he by 587 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: the way, he's my point guard, Dan, So I don't 588 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: get touxas unless I make my point guard happy. I can't. 589 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't slam Reese. And now he's an 590 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: Arkansas guy, right, he's an Alabama guy. Shows Yeah, he 591 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: graduated from University of Alabama. Oh he did. Yeah. He 592 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: probably wants a two team playoff every year, Alabama, Alabama 593 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: and Alabama. Why did I think Reese was an Arkans 594 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: I apologize to Reese. Man, that's that's I really insulted 595 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: him there forgot that he you know what. But back 596 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: then with Reese, they weren't winning. So Reese didn't talk 597 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: about Alabama back then. No, the Mike Shula years, he 598 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: didn't bring up. I never heard from Reese back then. No. Now, 599 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: but the last ten years I've had to hear from You. 600 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: Got out at the right time. David Safe travels there 601 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: to Tuscaloosa. Game Day will be there coming up this weekend. 602 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you again. Thank you, appreciate that. 603 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: That's David Pollock, the College Game Day crew will be 604 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: in Tuscaloosa this weekend at starting at nine am Eastern. 605 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: Ah poor, I apologize to rhes Davis. All these years 606 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: I thought he was an Arkansas guy. Yes point A 607 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: bunch of years ago, a few guys from ESPN we 608 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: got free tickets to go see like I think is 609 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: Boston College hosting Virginia Tech on Thursday night? Nice game 610 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: up in Chestnut Hill. You know what they hold about 611 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand. I happened to be sitting next to 612 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: rees Davis. He's just one of the guys who have 613 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: been sitting next to my go isn't this Grady guess? Yeah, 614 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: it's nice. It's a nice little setting. I remember, Oh yeah, 615 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: it's not Alabama he was. He kept saying, this is 616 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: a nice little setting. He kept saying, nice little setting. Yeah. Well, 617 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: I'd probably feel the same way having gone to Ohio 618 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: State games, and then if you went to a school 619 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: that had a smaller facility, you'd probably go, oh, yeah, 620 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: a nice little setting here. Because you guys were blown 621 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: away when we walked in to the Horseshoe, When when 622 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: we walked into that stadium in Columbus for Ohio State Michigan. 623 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: It's endless. The rows seemed to go on forever, and 624 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: it was just one of those where you went wow, 625 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: like like you don't really understand big time college football 626 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: until you're actually on campus for big time college football, 627 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: and you know, you take over. We got in on 628 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: Friday in town, maybe Thursday, because we did the show 629 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: on Friday, and it was chaos. They brought in the 630 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: marching band. During the show, the Buckeyes marching band came 631 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: into where we were. We're in a bar. We couldn't 632 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 1: hear at all. It was probably horrible radio. And I 633 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: was working with Rob Dibble at the time, and the 634 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: former Nasty Boy the Cincinnati Reds was getting an Archie 635 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: Griffin number forty five tattoo. I think during the show 636 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: Dibble yet, yeah on his calf. Yeah, live on radio. Yeah. 637 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: It was one of those. When I left in that 638 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: that morning, my ears were ringing for hours, and I 639 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: as soon as we got done with our show, I said, 640 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: give me a bloody marry because I needed. It was 641 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: just chaos, just chaos. I remember you were wearing like 642 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: an Andy Katson Morier jersey. You did you had like 643 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: eventually I put it. I think you did. Yeah, I 644 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,479 Speaker 1: think I eventually put on Andy kats I think somebody 645 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: gave me. I asked for an Andy Katsen Moyer jersey. 646 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: That's a good time. Oh, it was such bad radio. 647 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: I think the Thursday night when we got into town 648 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: was the night of Malice of the Past. Yes, it was. Yeah. 649 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: We were standing at the end of a bar and 650 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: we were in Columbus and I look up and then 651 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking what game is this? And you don't hear 652 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: the sound in a bar and I just see run 653 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: our test going into the stams and it was one 654 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: of those moments where you go okay, Like I started 655 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: thinking like what would I be doing as a radio 656 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: host and what you know, how do we cover this? 657 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: And it was just one of those surreal moments there. 658 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: But Ohio State, Michigan, Auburn, Alabama We've seen. I've been 659 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: to games at Georgia, been to games at the Rose Bowl, 660 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: trying to think best atmosphere, and I think I ever 661 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: had you can't go wrong with an SEC game. But 662 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: when we were there, when Cam Newton was at Auburn, 663 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,919 Speaker 1: that was that was a whole lot of fun because 664 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: we didn't even know that Cam was going to play 665 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: that game, and then all of a sudden, you get 666 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: word that he's going to play. Bo Jackson was there. 667 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: We got to see Bo. Yeah, Paul, it was Auburn 668 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: Georgia and Nay had set cam down for the week 669 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: during the investigation. Yeah, and that the Eagle is flying 670 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: around the Auburn stadium. More Eagle and then all of 671 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, Cam comes out of the locker room by 672 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: himself before the rest of the team and starts whooping 673 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: up the crowd. That was intense. Yes, Hunt, where do 674 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: you rank the swamp and Baton Rouge and that group. 675 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: I have not been to a game at LSU. I've 676 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: been to Florida. LSU at night was always on my 677 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: bucket list because it always felt like LSU at night. 678 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: You weren't going to beat him in Baton Rouge trying 679 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: to think. You know, I've been to USC games, been 680 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: to Notre Dame games, trying to think them. I actually 681 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: wanted to do this, and you know, I didn't actually 682 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: convince my wife, but she at least listened to me 683 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: where I said, you know, I'd love to do I'd 684 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: love to go into the PAC twelve and see like Washington, 685 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: Washington State Oregon, Oregon State because I you know, you're 686 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: always accused of East Coast biased, but I grew up 687 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: in the Midwest. But but just understanding, you know, these 688 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: other rivalries and seeing how these these college towns embraced 689 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: these games. Um, you know, because I got spoiled with 690 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: Ohio State in Michigan or Notre Dame in usc but 691 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: the SEC you never get cheated. Acc I'm trying to 692 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: think of I've ever. I haven't been to Clemson before 693 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: for a football game. Mcloven. You went to Clemson. Yeah, 694 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: it's crazy when they run out on the field past 695 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: the rock or whatever it's And you went to Oregon 696 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, we all went to Oregon, did we? Yeah? 697 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: We Okay, I thought, um yeah, when we were in Eugene, 698 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: remember we went the whole show. Did Portland Eugene trip? 699 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: We didn't go to a game? Then, No, I went 700 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: to Portland. We did a show in Portland soccer team 701 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: Oh okay, Yeah, anyway, Oregon's amazing. But the stadium is 702 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: like a giant Nike factory. Yeah, pretty much pretty much. 703 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: And then Oregon's football team it's basically a catalog for 704 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: Nike Lebron and Chris Paul were on the sideline at 705 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: the game too that I was at, which is not 706 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: a rare occurrence. Apparently they go to a lot of 707 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: one Oregon game a year. Well, they probably go up 708 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: to Nike and then you know, they say, hey, would 709 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: you come down on the sideline. Hey, we'll fly you here. 710 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: That's a good recruiting tool to half of Lebron. Yeah, 711 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break. Thanks for listening to 712 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Falcons had four positive tests this morning, according 734 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: to sources. Here's an update. An NFL official just said 735 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: that one member of the Falcons personnel staff had a 736 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: positive test and it's not a player. We'll keep an 737 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: eye on this. Feels like it's ever evolving, and you 738 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: got the Falcons and the Vikings coming up this weekend. 739 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: Just got word from a source no positive tests with 740 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 1: Alabama today. There's more concern about the coaches than the 741 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: players at Alabama for this game against Georgia. But as 742 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: David Pollack just pointed out, they get tested every single day. 743 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 1: I was curious with those coming in contact with coach Saban. 744 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: Other coaches testing positive here and I don't know what 745 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: would bring about a postponent of this game. But if 746 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 1: a coaching staff would happen to be wiped out or 747 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: have to be quarantine, I don't know. We've never you know, 748 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: this is all new. Every single week, it's something new. 749 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: Florida LSU has been postponed as well. But the SEC, 750 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: like the NFL, expected this to happen. That's why they 751 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: built in by weeks just to be able to kind 752 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: of dump a game off or two games off here 753 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: and be able to get all these games in. You know, 754 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: the NFL is doing away with the Pro Bowl this year, 755 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: which is fine with me, but they're trying to build 756 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: in a maybe an extra week or two where and 757 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: we're only in week five going into week six. We 758 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: got a lot of weeks left here, a lot of 759 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: football left. And as teams get out of the playoff chase, 760 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: our guys going to get a little more careless here. Now, 761 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: That's what I was told starting the season. Wait until 762 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: you get to around week twelve, thirteen fourteen, and are 763 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: these players going to be as regimented as they were 764 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: you know at the start of the season. Yeah. Point 765 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 1: And the NFL announced that this year's Pro Bowl rosters 766 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: will be named, but no game will be played. Instead, 767 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 1: the government will be replaced by a variety of engaging activities. Quote, 768 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: a variety of an engaging activities. I smell a segment, Dan, 769 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: what's you go in place of the pro bowl? Um, 770 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm fine with nothing. Oh no, but but the engaging 771 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: So it's not a variety of activities, it's a variety 772 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:33,399 Speaker 1: of engaging activities. Dodgeball, We're gonna do that one again. Yeah, 773 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. How about swimming and diving? Tug 774 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: of war croque, Yes, tug like the baseball dunk you know, 775 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, like the old days of the Battle of 776 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: the Network stars. Just have them sit there and then 777 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: you could just knock get the target and knock them 778 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: into the war in a dunk tank where not? Yeah, 779 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: how about lineman throw and the quarterback stays in the 780 00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: dunk tank? Know you're long snappers? They bend over and 781 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: just by their behind. Can you name which long snappers 782 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: which niche? No? How about know your center and then 783 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: you have quarterbacks have to put their hands under there 784 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: and be able to find their center. There you go, 785 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: that's good TV. Find the center of your universe. Most 786 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: jacked reft contests like they had their shirts on. They 787 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: get oiled up, pose off yest Ton.

Well, yeah, 795 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: but I swear the sports world is stacked against me. 796 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: The Dodgers put up a record setting eleven runs in 797 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: half an ending, making today and tomorrow some of the 798 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: most stressful baseball days. Saturday wake Up the morning started 799 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: with the murdyside derby angry Liverpool after a seven two 800 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: also asked in Villa sitting for two weeks. Then I 801 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: got Georgia Alabama. Alabama's going to be hype hashtag win 802 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: one for Nick. Then of course Sunday, you know, we 803 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 1: don't even worry about Sunday Atlanta United Falcons. We know 804 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: that's justessible. But then Monday, Kansas City Chiefs going against 805 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: the Bills. It like it's like the world doesn't want 806 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: me to relax, take a deep breath now, and maybe 807 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: move out of Atlanta. Thank you. I'll get two more 808 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: phone calls coming up here. Mclubin wants the poll question 809 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: that we which coach has the biggest impact on game day? 810 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: College football is actually running away with it. Then MLB, 811 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: then NFL, then NBA, which can't be true. Well, not baseball. 812 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: I don't know why don't you have to just fill 813 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: on a lineup, but that's it, and then bring lefty 814 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: in against lefty. The thing with NBA, everyone thinks Lebron 815 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: is the coach of his team, so that that's confusing too. Yeah, 816 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: I still think, well, college because they're able to control 817 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: roll more. But I still think the person who is 818 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,439 Speaker 1: most valuable on game day is Bill Belichick. I don't 819 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: think it's even close. Derrick Henry a little bit later 820 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: on One Hour in the Books. Two more to go 821 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: here on the Dan Patrick Show.
