1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Don't listening.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 2: No Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 1: I'm not trying to kind of shine something up that

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve it, right. I mean, if I if this

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: thing was a dump today, if it was a dumpster

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: fire all day long, I'd come in here and just

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: complain what's going on with sports world? I had nothing

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: to talk about. What's Arnie's joke that he always has.

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: I was watching I was watching T and T all day.

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: I'd watching Law and Order all day. I thought, it's

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: a good sports day. We got a lot to talk about, y'all.

15

Speaker 1: Mark's running the show. He's already heard that we're doing

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: the same show we did last night, Mark, So just

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: prepare yourself. I'm kidding. Shay's in charge, and Sega is

23

Speaker 1: going to have updates at the top of the hour.

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: I'll get you caught up on things throughout the evening.

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: If there's anything that we miss, I got a guess

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: that's going to jump on with us in hour number four.

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: So if you're stuck with us all night, if you're

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: working late, if you've got I don't know, a road

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: trip that you're in the midst of, well we got

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: a busy show for you tonight. I want to start

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: with something that's probably not going to get a lot

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: of talk throughout the evening. You know, last night I

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: started the show talking about Lebron James, and I.

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: Quickly came to.

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Realize that the NBA is just it's just not generating

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: the clicks or the energy that it typically would at

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: this time of the year. I don't know if it's

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: the continued growing, just absolute monster that is NFL football

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to ratings and passion and at fantasy

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: into it and now the gambling aspect, I don't know

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: if that's it. I mean, I don't know if, like

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: me selfishly, if it's been hard for me to dive

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: into the NBA because I love college football and we

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: have our first twelve team college football playoff. I mean

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: we're less than a week away from the first round.

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: I mean next next Saturday night into a Sunday morning,

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: when when Bernie takes the air at one am Central Time,

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: we'll pretty much have the quarter final set. All four

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: games will be completed. So all that to say, I'm

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: just I'm not there yet with the NBA, and I

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: feel like, even talking about it, it's not quite there yet.

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: Now this comes from a guy who's in a market

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: where his NBA team is cooking right now and there's

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot of passion and energy around it. But even

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: even to a certain degree, I don't think that energy

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: and care is at the zena that it typically is.

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: Maybe we are also.

58
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: Realizing that it's an eighty two game season, and maybe

59
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: the NBA isn't it starts at Christmas anymore?

60
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: Right?

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: It used to be everybody gets fired up about the

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: NBA around Christmas and you watch the Christmas games.

63
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: Well, now the NFL is playing games on Christmas.

64
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: We mentioned the playoffs, and maybe the NBA is one

65
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: of those where we don't find ourselves getting too terribly

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: excited until we really start getting to the All Star breaker.

67
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: Even after whatever the case might be, I've never seen

68
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: a story.

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: More of a dud than Lebron leaving the Lakers.

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a high profile star in the

71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: league that's stepped away and nobody has an answer.

72
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: Now.

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: Mark Menina was on last night with Jason Smith and

74
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: we played a little bit of that. Ain't brought the

75
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: left foot injury that's being talked about, but I mean

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: even JJ Reddick was short. So in answering questions about it,

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: my point in bringing that up is I'm going to

78
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: open with NBA tonight because we had two stellar games

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: and I thought both of them were very interesting and

80
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: very fun. But in the end, I don't know if

81
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup is really doing for the NBA what

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: they thought it would, except maybe proving that Vegas needs

83
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: an NBA team. Those crowds were pretty good. Now, I

84
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: will say I'm a bit of an old. Okay, I'm

85
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: a bit of an old. But it is the lights

86
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: in the late game, it seemed like everyone had their

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: phone light on the whole time.

88
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: Is that a thing?

89
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: Is this happening other places and I'm just missing it?

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Or is it another one of these kind of gimmicky,

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: goofy things for the NBA Cup. I don't know, I

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: don't care, but I found myself digging it. So I

93
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: figured if I went ahead and started with it tonight,

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: if you don't care and you don't want to hear

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: NBA talk, then you'll be able to say, oh, yeah,

96
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: he's just it's going to give us some highlights and

97
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: then he'll be done with it, right playing give us

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: your highlights, then be done with it, and we can

99
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: move on to talk about things like the Heisman Trophy.

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: But early on Game one, I felt like it was one.

101
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Of those between the Bucks and the Hawks where it

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: just kind of took everyone a little bit of time

103
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: to get going, and once they did, man, kudos to Milwaukee.

104
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about the way they

105
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: play in the NBA Cup, but they are absolutely outstanding,

106
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: almost like it's a completely different team from Milwaukee than

107
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: what you see a majority of the season. And even

108
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: though even though Trey Young was doing things he hadn't

109
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: done all season long, it was it was impressive to

110
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: see everything come together for the Bucks, which it typically

111
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: does during this time of the year in the NBA Cup.

112
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, with forty seconds left.

113
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Damian Lovelin's got is coming across me at fort keeping

114
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: going to the basket the seeds part than Litard's roles

115
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: at home. Damian Lullard finished the night with twenty five points.

116
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Jannis had thirty two. In the end, the Bucks beat

117
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: the Hawks one ten, one oh two. Milwaukee had lost

118
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: twenty consecutive games when trailing entering the fourth quarter until today,

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: And I mean afterwards, as you might imagine, Janie's Janice's

120
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: message was very simple.

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: We've changed our season in that round, but we've got

122
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: to keep going like the job's not done.

123
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Job's not done so far, fifty.

124
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: Five games left, so we just got to keep playing

125
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 5: together and hopefully we can keep it getting better.

126
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: Look at my guy, you knowing how many games they're left.

127
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Sounds like me whenever we get to the final hour

128
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: of the show and I'm like, there's only thirty two

129
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: minutes left in the program. Now there's only thirty But

130
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: at the core of it, right at the core of this, hey,

131
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: good game, fun game.

132
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: Trey Young.

133
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: I think the stat was he forced eleven fouls on him,

134
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: which was the most he had kind of forced all

135
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: season long. And we can debate about you know, maybe

136
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: a bit of a friendly whistle, whatever the case might be.

137
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: But at the core of this is a question does

138
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: the NBA cut matter to players?

139
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: Does it really matter? Doesn't matter to fans?

140
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Am I wasting the first five minutes of this show

141
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: by talking about I Giannis?

142
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: What matters is that you got to get the job done.

143
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: I think the conversation within the team is that nothing

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 4: matters only when stats don't matter. It doesn't add a

145
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: win or the last to our record. Nothing really matters

146
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: how many shots if you go aer full fifteen, you know,

147
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: if you go fifteen for fifteen, it doesn't matter. The

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: only thing that matters, Raje is to get a win.

149
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: And that's the message within our team right now. And

150
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: everybody got to stay locked in. Job's not done.

151
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, job's not done. Say job's not done again, be honest.

152
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Please. Meanwhile, in the nightcap, if you will, the Thunder

153
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: in the Rockets play the Doozy, and early on it

154
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be back and forth

155
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: all night long. Aaron Wiggins got things going early for

156
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: the Thunder.

157
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 6: Hartenstein's top of the key hangling left gives to Mitchell,

158
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 6: Who's slips and then has the ball taken away from

159
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 6: him by Grimes, but he throws it away.

160
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 7: Wiggins has it open right side angle three is.

161
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: In there except saying a thunder moneyball.

162
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, back and forth, fun game between Okac

163
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: and I almost wanted to say at Atlanta okay See

164
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: in Houston, But you gotta remember, okay See has be

165
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: overly dramatic here just a little bit. Okay See has

166
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: the best player I think he right now in Shay

167
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Gilges Alexander, and they've put some dudes around him that

168
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: can make a difference in the paint.

169
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: Up the middle of.

170
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 8: The dove, left wing, Joe catches your rainbow, Free is

171
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 8: up short Hartenstein, the rebound boys is.

172
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 9: Why as the fucking the Thunder's down a big two

173
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 9: hand room rocker.

Speaker 1: Oh isaay a Heartstein dop be so made all right,

00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: ended up wuinning in one eleven to ninety six. You

177
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: can call it the Isaiah Hartenstein game, or just hey,

178
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: you make a lot of money. This is what you're

179
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: supposed to do right twenty one points eight boards as

180
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: OKAC continues to look like the best team in the

181
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: West and now now we're set up for a championship

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: on a random of random days, a Tuesday.

183
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: Hey guys, let's.

184
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Have the semi finals on a Saturday, which I thought

185
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: was cool. Right, they got the I don't know if

186
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Semya was on ABC is still a big deal, but

187
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: they got the ABC coverage, They got a great crowd

188
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: in Vegas. It was fun to watch all day long.

189
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: But welcome to the Night of champions which is Tuesday.

190
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: Now you're kind of caught a little bit because, right,

191
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: you can't you can't mess with the schedule. You're still

192
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: in the middle of the regular season. But in the end,

193
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: I had fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the NBA Cup. And

194
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: this is coming from somebody who has been very slow.

195
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: To dive into the NBA season.

196
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Now, as we come to you live Fromthtirack dot Com

197
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Studios tonight, I am very well aware that the tweets

198
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: and the calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on

199
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: Fox eight seven seven nine ninety six sixty three sixty

200
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: nine probably won't be going in depth on Lebron's mystery

201
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: exit from the Lakers for a minute, and what happened

202
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: in the NBA Cup or the excitement over somebody hanging

203
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: a banner Tuesday Night between the Thunder and the Bucks.

204
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: I truly think that most of the conversation tonight will

205
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: center around football, and I'm fine with that. So we

206
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: add a lot of football to get to a lot

207
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: of gridiron to get to on the program because we're

208
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: entering crunch time, we're entering the home stretch of the NFL,

209
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: and in Vegas, the elegant tank continues. We'll talk about

210
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Max Crosby being out for the season. In Dallas, the

211
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: heartache and heartbreak continues because now Trayvon Diggs is out

212
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: for the year. So you just keep adding. I mean

213
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: that sideline for the Cowboys is kind of look like

214
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: a mash unit. First you lose Dak and now you've

215
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: got Trayvon Digs out of other injuries.

216
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: They've been dealing with.

217
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: It's a mess for the Dallas Cowboys. But at the

218
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: core of today, in leading up to I'm sure some

219
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: of you that had good fantasy teams, you're trying to

220
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: figure out who's in and out. You're trying to figure

221
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: out who's going to play. We got those notes coming

222
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: up in a bit, But I think this might be

223
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: the best afternoon slate of games we've had in the

224
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: NFL this year.

225
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Now.

226
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: My research consisted of looking at the last few weeks and.

227
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: Just saying, yeah, I think this is it.

228
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: But typically in the NFL, you get a boatload of

229
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: early games that you just can't miss. Then you get

230
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: to the Witching hour and everyone's in heaven, and then

231
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: you take a nap at the start of the afternoon games, right,

232
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: and there's usually not a lot of options.

233
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: Well, got a few more options this week.

234
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: Just about every game in the afternoon slate has some

235
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: sort of playoff implication to it. And I'll be honest,

236
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: last week, Arnie and I were doing our Sunday night

237
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: show here on Fox Sports Radio, and I kind of

238
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: ended the race in the AFC for that seventh and

239
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: final wild card spot because the Broncos are currently eight

240
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: and five, and I don't know if the Colts are

241
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: going to make a run.

242
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: I sure don't think the Dolphins are going to make

243
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: he run. But you suddenly look at that.

244
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Colts schedule and one of our Texters slash tweeters brought

245
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: this up. If Indianapolis beats Denver today, this is the

246
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: final three games for the Colts versus the Titans, at

247
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: the Giants and versus the Jaguars. If Indianapolis finds a

248
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: way to win today over Denver, they can easily win out.

249
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: That can be a ten and seven season. Now, this

250
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: is the same Colts team that has already lost this

251
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: year in the Jaguars and has been known to lay

252
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: a few eggs, but they also have some impressive wins

253
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: this season. They beat the Bears earlier this year and

254
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: a fairly dominating fashion, just barely squeaked by the Patriots

255
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: and the Jets the last few weeks. I'm not trying

256
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: to sell you all. The Colts beat a playoff team, Okay.

257
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: My point is you suddenly get a win in a

258
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: game like that this afternoon in the least talked about

259
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: probably of the afternoon games, and the next thing you know,

260
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: you look up and my gosh, the Colts are ten

261
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: and seven. It's possible. You got the Builds and the

262
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: Lions in Detroit, and apparently Detroit's defensive line is getting healthy.

263
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: More on that later.

264
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: You've got the Steelers traveling to Philadelphia to take on

265
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles in what has been one of the more

266
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: compelling storylines all week long. We lived it last night

267
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: and I even missed a few things last night. We

268
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: relived it. The Eagles AJ Brown versus Jalen Hurd, AJ

269
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: Brown even coming out and saying, no, no, we're good, fam,

270
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: We're good. That's three games in the afternoon session that

271
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: have implications, and then and then the Chargers host the

272
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Buccaneers Los Angeles, trying to cement its spot in the playoffs.

273
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: In what has been I mean everything that Charger fans

274
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: and I think NFL fans anticipated it being. In the

275
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: first year of Jim Harbaugh with Justin Herbert, it's been outstanding.

276
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, sucks if you're a fan of the AFC West,

277
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: but Jim Harbaugh has done what we expected Jim Harbaugh

278
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: to do.

279
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: He's been awesome.

280
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: And don't look now, but the NFC South is still

281
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: very wide open, and the Bucks are right there with

282
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: the game lead over everybody. I mean, you kind of

283
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: feel bad for the Cardinals and the Patriots who are

284
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: shoehorn in the middle of this.

285
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: But you've got four of the five games.

286
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: First of all, when's the last time we had five

287
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: afternoon games that have playoff implications? And then you slide

288
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: into a Sunday night game between the Packers and the Seahawks.

289
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: That's awesome. My advice to everybody after the show is

290
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: over today, get your nap in, get your Honey news done,

291
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: because the afternoon slate is outstanding. We'll get you the

292
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: injury updates what Adam Schefter and Ian Rappaport are reporting

293
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: coming up next. But before we grabbed our initial time

294
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: out of the show tonight, I have a Heisman vote.

295
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: I take it very seriously, and I think I think

296
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: I made a mistake in my Heisman vote, and I

297
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: just want to be an open an open book. I

298
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: overstudy on this stuff. I overanalyze it. And I didn't

299
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: have Travis Hunter on my ballot. And it wasn't anything

300
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: negative against Travis Hunter. He was my fourth pick. I

301
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:57,119
Speaker 1: just felt like Shador Sanders was more important to Colorado

302
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: than Travis Hunter was.

303
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean this.

304
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: Has been a There is just a terrible and I

305
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: do mean terrible back and forth on Twitter because for

306
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: some reason, everyone that thought Travis Hunter didn't deserve to

307
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: win the Heisman now suddenly starts taking shots at him. Yeah,

308
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: he absolutely deserved to win the Heisman. Okay, it's just

309
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: It's not a matter of fighting about whether or not

310
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: he is good. He is outstanding, he is special. But

311
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: I didn't have him on my ballot, and I had

312
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Ashton gent as my number one pick.

313
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: I just felt like.

314
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: What he did this year, And call me crazy, but

315
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: I do think wins and losses matter, right, I do

316
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: think that matters. And on a team that had a

317
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: terrible defense and really not the most explosive offense, Ashton

318
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Genty was the one guy for the Boys. He stayed on,

319
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: he was in and he's still what he's gonna set.

320
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: I think we'll see what happens in a couple of

321
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: weeks when Boys he's in the playoffs. But he might

322
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: set Barry Sanders single season Well it's not Barry Sanders

323
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: single season rushing record anymore. It's it's Pumpfrey's out of

324
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: sanegal state. But I just I don't, I don't really know.

325
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: I guess I guess Pumphrey's the career leader overall because

326
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: that was a big fight, right because they ended up

327
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: adding the Bowl game yardage and they had never done

328
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: that with Barry Sanders. But he's gonna he's probably gonna

329
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: surpass the single season record right, the Barry holds. But

330
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: in the end, I just I don't. I don't really

331
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: know how you cannot look at that and say that

332
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't more important to his team's success than Travis Hunter. Right,

333
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: And that was my that was my selling point. But

334
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: I went back and I dug a little bit deeper

335
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: and just you know the why? What is the Heisman Trophy?

336
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: Is it the most valuable player? Is the most important player?

337
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: It's the most outstanding player? Is it the most popular player?

338
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's all these things, And at the core

339
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: of it, I don't think anyone really sits down and

340
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: says this is what it is, this is what you're

341
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: supposed to vote for. It's kind of open to an interpretation.

342
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: So I want to get into that a little bit

343
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: later on. Maybe you can help me out because I

344
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: feel like I made a mistake. But at a seven

345
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox, I can't dismiss Travis Hunter

346
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: based on what he did. And we're gonna hear his

347
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: acceptance speech. He was awesome.

348
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: I got the biggest kick out of him. He doesn't.

349
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: I haven't really heard him do A ton of media

350
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he does or at least all the

351
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: viral stuff out of Colorado seems to come from coach

352
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: Prime and his words.

353
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 10: But I.

354
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Thought Gent should have been the guy. I thought Gent

355
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: should have been the guy. But I absolutely think Travis

356
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Hunter is deserving. We'll dive into that coming up in

357
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: about forty minutes from now. As always, we got a

358
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: crew helping us out. Shay's taking your calls at eight

359
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine

360
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: ninety six sixty three six ' nine. Mark's got his

361
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: finger on the dumb button in case I drop a

362
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: bomb tonight. We'll be ready to protect your ears. And

363
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: we got a very very busy, topic laden program. I

364
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: have him to touch on. A fun night of college basketball.

365
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee goes on the road, beats Illinois in a buzzer beater.

366
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: Yukon seems to have its groove back after an embarrassing

367
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: start to the season. College basketball is infinitely more entertaining

368
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: than the NBA right now, but it has that same

369
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: problem that the NBA does in that, oh, we're not

370
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: even in conference play yet, so we'll touch on that

371
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. We've got so many interesting college football

372
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: notes beyond just the Army Navy game today in which

373
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Navy smoked Army. I mean just flat out smoked them.

374
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that coming up, plus plus before

375
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: we get out of here, a little.

376
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: History in women's basketball.

377
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: It's all coming up on a busy Sunday morning, Fox

378
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. But when we come back, let's find out

379
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: who's in, who's out, who's playing, who's not. I know

380
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: some of you guys have your fantasy football playoffs that

381
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: you care about. I couldn't care less about it, but

382
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: I am intrigued about the potential of a couple of

383
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: backs getting healthy in time for big games. We'll dive

384
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: into that next right here on the Bernie Fratto Show.

385
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Mark, you gotta

386
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: be careful tonight. I just don't want to warn you.

387
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: I spend my son's in the Army. Well, he goes

388
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: to West Point, and he told me he's because he

389
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: actually replied to a text one time. Will once, but

390
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: he texted and he's like, I just got interviewed by Newsmax,

391
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie. I'm not a news guy,

392
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: so I don't know what news max is, and so

393
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: I devyarred it today because I was like, oh, why not,

394
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: he's gonna watch the game. Maybe I'm not gonna sit

395
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: and watch the news when the games are on, right Mark,

396
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to do that missing it. So I

397
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: watched this uh Newsmax thing on DVR. Boy, they really,

398
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: they really spent a lot of time talking about drones, man,

399
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie to you. It kind of

400
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: sucked me in there for a little bit, and then

401
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: I quickly went to Twitter and I was over it

402
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: rather quickly because everyone's got a theory on.

403
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: This big topic.

404
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: If I happen to fall into drone conversations, which by

405
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: the way, I have a drone story up in front

406
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: of me, there's a commercial on TV about the Fusion

407
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: Academy with a girl playing with the drone. I don't

408
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: know what's happening right now, but if it happens, just

409
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: just hit the dumb button and we'll move on.

410
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: Got it. It's easy, It's easy.

411
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: And before we get to the phones at eight seven

412
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine ninety

413
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: six sixty three, sixth Night, hanging their Gunny hanging there,

414
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: Jason and Baton Rouge eight seven.

415
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: Seven ninety nine on Fox. We'll get to you as well.

416
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: I did want to get everyone updated on the latest

417
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: injury updates for week fifteen. Here we go. Adam Schefter

418
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: got in first, so I'll roll through his and then

419
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: we'll sprinkle in a little. Ian Rappaport reports the Chiefs

420
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: are expected to have Harrison Butker back. They released Matthew Wright,

421
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: the NFL Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday. Released. Meanwhile,

422
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: speaking of the Chiefs, left tackle DJ Humphries, who took

423
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: over as the chief starting left tackle last week, has

424
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: been downgraded to out for Sunday's game, today's game if

425
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: you will, against the Browns, due to a hamstring injury.

426
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I'm a firm believer the Chiefs

427
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: are going to the Super Bowl. I think they're gonna

428
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. I think they're gonna.

429
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: Get beat today. I don't know. I just for something.

430
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: There is something about just Jamis letting it rip, and

431
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that they're just gonna let it rip. Meanwhile,

432
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: if you have a Roshawn Johnson on your fantasy team,

433
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: the Bears running back is out for the Monday night

434
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: game already against the Vikings. And DeAndre Swift still listed

435
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: as questionable in the most recent update. Most recent injury update,

436
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did indeed announce that Trayvon Diggs will not

437
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: be traveling with the team to Charlotte. He's not going

438
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: to play. Downgraded due to a knee injury. Some feel

439
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: as if it could be season ending as well. The

440
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: Raiders ended Max Crosby season. He was already ruled out

441
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: early in the day from Monday night's game. Remember we

442
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: got a Monday night double aadder. He was ruled out

443
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: for the Monday night doubleheader. The Raiders aren't playing a

444
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: double header for the Monday night game against the Falcons.

445
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: But he's going to go ahead and undergo arthroscoptic ankle

446
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: surgery so the elegant tank can continue for the Raiders

447
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: so far this season and the clown that I am.

448
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: I will sit in front of my TV, probably have

449
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: a cold libation next to me, and I'll watch the

450
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: Raiders and I'll believe in my heart of hearts that

451
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: they're going to win. When they get beat, I'm gonna

452
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: be pissed. It just doesn't make any sense, man, It's

453
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: like that's my It makes no sense. Leaviscus Channel and

454
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: Eric Tomlinson have been activated by the Chargers. They had

455
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: to place a Jalen Rager, who I completely forgot to

456
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: use even on the Chargers, on injury reserve. The Lions

457
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: have elevated Jamal Adams from their practice squad to the

458
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: active roster for their key gang today against the Bills Saints.

459
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Jay Hayner time. In New Orleans, they

460
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: downgraded Derek Carr to out. More on the future quarterback

461
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: situation in places like New Orleans, Seattle, and Los Angeles

462
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: coming up in a bit, The Cardinals place their running

463
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: back Mari Demarcado on injured reserve. He's out. The Jets

464
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: will be without DJ Reed and Xavier Newman for their

465
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: game against Jacksonville. And I think that's about it. Oh.

466
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: A couple of others, David and Joki, who has been

467
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: a rollercoaster of a ride man in productivity this year

468
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. David and Joku questionable with a hamstring.

469
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna work out, pregame to se if he's able

470
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: to go, And according to sources within Cleveland, Adam Schefter

471
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: reported a couple of hours ago it is a game

472
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: time decision. Now that game is that game is in

473
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City, right, No, No, that game is in Cleveland. If

474
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: you're worried about weather and things of that nature, it's

475
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: actually gonna be pretty nice in Cleveland tomorrow, not gonna

476
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: be in the twenties, not gonna have wind chills in

477
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: the twelves.

478
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: As it stands right now, it looks like it's gonna

479
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: be pleasant weatherwise.

480
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: So if you're worried about that playing a factor, and

481
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: if in Djoku can get worked out, get ready to go,

482
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: then it looks like again And I don't know how

483
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: accurate everyone thinks that you know weather dot com is,

484
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: but according to my weather dot com at there's some

485
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: rain rolling through right now.

486
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: It's going to roll through through the overnight.

487
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: But after that rain gets through, it's supposed to be

488
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: in like the forties without a ton of win. But

489
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: I just really, I really had to take feeling good

490
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: about the weather, and then you dive a little deeper

491
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: into the forecast, like maybe not in Cleveland tomorrow, maybe

492
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: not that high is only forty four and the rain

493
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: is gonna push into kickoff. They expect a quarter of

494
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: an inch, not a ton of Wind. Maybe that's not

495
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: good news about it? And Joe who playing after all.

496
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: Colts wide receiver Josh Down's questionable has his shoulder injury

497
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with, And I guess maybe the two

498
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: more intriguing names are the running backs. Jets running back

499
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Breese hall Listen is questionable for today's game against the Jaguars,

500
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: but is expected to play, according to a source. This

501
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: is all reported by Adam Schefter, who has been listed

502
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: as questionable for the Titans, is expected to play. Get

503
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: this stat, Tony Polar needs sixty three more rushing yards

504
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: for his third straight thousand.

505
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: Yard rushing season. Peeps, I know I'm getting old.

506
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: I get it, I understand it, but man, there was

507
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: a time when a thousand yard rushing season you were

508
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: the b's and knees man. That was big time. Now

509
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, do you guys see the math

510
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: on that? And what a thousand yard rushing season mint?

511
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: Even even in a sixteen game season. He's like that,

512
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: you're not even average a hundred yards a game. Bucky Irvian,

513
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: Buccaneers running back listened to his questionable he's got backing

514
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: hip injuries. Bucks wide receiver Sterling Shepherd is listed as

515
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: questionable he's got a foot injury. And then one other

516
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: note from Adam Schefter on breaking news tonight, because we

517
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: actually have a little bit. The Jets, as they get

518
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: set for their game against the Jaguars, have already started

519
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: the process of interviewing candidates for their new general manager

520
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: are their open general manager's job, and those expected to

521
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: interview include former Titans general manager John Robinson and ESP

522
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: and analyst Lewis Ridick. Now again, I love Lewis Ridick.

523
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 2: I love him.

524
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what in his background would lead anyone

525
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: to think that it's going to be automatic. He spent time,

526
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: at least Riddick spent time in front offices like John

527
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Lynch spent zero time and has been, I think, up

528
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: until this season, an absolute home run with the San

529
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers as their GM higher at least

530
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: with Riddick. He spent thirteen years in NFL front office

531
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: roles from Washington to Philadelphia. He was a pro personnel

532
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: department leader for both of those teams, and he also

533
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: interviewed for GM openings in twenty twenty with the.

534
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Lions and the Texans.

535
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: So at the very least, at the very least, Lewis

536
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: Rittick has some experience in that area, but maybe there's

537
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: a better reputation for him. He just decided to go

538
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: do TV. Better reputation for him in personnel departments, and

539
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: decided to go TV to make a little money, right,

540
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: make it a little bit easier. But those are some

541
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: of the notes that we've been following tonight. I'll tell

542
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: you what, there is nothing that triggers me more than

543
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: when people try to use the Atlanta Falcons worried about

544
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: the role that Bill Belichick was going to play because

545
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: their personnel department was, I don't know, wary of him. Really, Atlanta,

546
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit there and be the people that say, well,

547
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't want Bill Belichick here. But we

548
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: do have a story involving Bill Belichick and the Jets

549
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: tonight that I think is at least worth our time.

550
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not I'm buying into it

551
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, but it's at least worth our time.

552
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: So there's the news notes in tidbits that are making

553
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: headlines as we get set for Week fifteen in the NFL.

554
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: All right, before we wrap up this segment. I want

555
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: to get a couple of your calls in here. A

556
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: lot of NFL talk tonight, a lot of Heisman Trophy

557
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: talk at eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox eight

558
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: seven seven nine ninety six six three six nine. Let's

559
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: see if we can't get Gunny in here to get

560
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: things going on the right track. I mean, what could

561
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong? Good morning, Gunny? What's going on?

562
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: Dude? You good?

563
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 11: Oh?

564
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I'm always good.

565
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: You gotta be careful with that, Gunny.

566
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean in hil too hard and you're gonna find

567
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: yourself passing out. Man, you gotta be careful this late tonight.

568
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 12: I'm a for twenty warrior.

569
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: So what's on your mind? You want to talk some Heisman.

570
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 12: Asking Genty? I'm sorry, but I I agree the guys

571
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 12: in plays both sides of the ball should get the

572
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 12: per sae if he played if if he played it

573
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 12: Boise Shake and Gent played the Colorado, do you think

574
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 12: Colorado would make the playoffs?

575
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: And oh jeez gosh, I wish I was on your level.

576
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: We could have a hell of a high conversation about

577
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: this right now. So, in other words, if Gent was

578
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: on Colorado, are you flop say, Travis Hunter to Boise, right.

579
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 12: Would Boise make the playoffs with Hunter being No, No, exactly,

580
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 12: I don't think so.

581
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: Now again, it's a little different schedule.

582
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: He's he is the rock star of rock stars in

583
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: that schedule more so than he is in Colorado. The

584
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: level of competition they're playing Boise, I think Travis would

585
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: elevate himself even more.

586
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: But with that said, I mean, I guess I'm also

587
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: saying to.

588
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Myself, would gent be less effective in a power for

589
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: conference week in week out?

590
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 12: I'm the Puerto Rican rock star who the hell knows

591
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 12: where Porter, Oklahoma is?

592
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: That's right, well he said, he said Porter rock star,

593
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: Just so we're clear, right, So one more thing did

594
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: on that and Gunny, and then I'll let you get

595
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: back to your enjoyment for the evening. Don't you think

596
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: we need to get back to the point where with

597
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: the voting they let five or six guys go. I

598
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: would have loved to learn more when you see that

599
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: camp Scattabo and the old rules would have been there,

600
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: I'd love to learn more about that dude from Arizona State.

601
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 10: SAT would have probably wanted. I mean, but.

602
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 12: Like I said, if the whole Dell was Genty and.

603
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: Hunter.

604
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, Hunter was swapped. Do you think you know what

605
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 12: I mean?

606
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm following it. Hey, Gunny, good to hear your voice. Man,

607
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: have a great rest of your night. Gunny was on

608
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: one tonight. He's fired up up. If you flop Hunter

609
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: for Genty, you put Hunter on Boise State, is Boise

610
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: stayed in the playoffs right now? I think it's a

611
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: fair question. It's also one of those that I was

612
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: like all over the place. I'm like, well, if you

613
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: put Genty on Georgia, you know, is he doing this

614
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: same thing? And is it you know, it's a wild

615
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: game that you can play. I also think Gunny was

616
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: feeling it, very envious of that. All right, Before we break,

617
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: Jason and Baton Rouge wants to talk a little bit

618
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: about the Giants and the Ravens if he was able

619
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: to hang through that. Good morning, Jason, what's going on?

620
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 11: Man?

621
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 13: Two quick things for you since you brought up Belichick.

622
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 13: But first, yeah, that Giants Ravens game. Seventeen point underdogs?

623
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 13: The Giants, do you know the last team in the

624
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 13: NFL that was a seventeen point underdog and they won

625
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 13: the game outright?

626
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, well, hold on, don't tell me, don't tell

627
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: don't tell me, don't tell me.

628
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: The Raiders on Christmas Day?

629
00:33:58,920 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Right?

630
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 12: Oh?

631
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 13: Oh it was. It was the debut of and he

632
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 13: was a rookie Josh Superman Alan. He put the Cape

633
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 13: on at Minnesota and they won as seventeen point underdog.

634
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: Did not know that?

635
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: Did not know?

636
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: Yes?

637
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 10: Yes.

638
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 13: The one thing about Belichick, just real quick, isn't it hilarious?

639
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 13: How he was too successful that everybody's scared of him

640
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 13: in the NFL.

641
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 14: They won't hire him, they're.

642
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 15: Intimidated by him when he walks in the door. He

643
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 15: was too successful. Atlanta wouldn't hire him, and all these

644
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 15: other teams they're afraid of him.

645
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: You got one hundred percent right, And I don't think

646
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: I've heard many people. Everyone wants to try to say, well,

647
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: they didn't bring him in because look how terrible things

648
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: ended up with the Patriots and the personnel decisions and

649
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: the draft picks. But at the TI they realize, yeah,

650
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna come in here and he's.

651
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: Gonna take our job.

652
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 11: You know.

653
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: That's that's and probably again Atlanta of all the people

654
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: on their like bully pulpit thinking they're making the great

655
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: decisions Atlanta. I mean, you just paid two hundred million

656
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: dollars for a quarterback and the best quarterback is the

657
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: guy that you took in the top ten in the

658
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: draft after you just signed this guy.

659
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 3: Me.

660
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: Come on, So those people trying to stand on and

661
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: clutch their pearls over it, say, yeah, we didn't want

662
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: him to have power really, because you're crushing it with

663
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: your power anyway, I agree with the nine percent, is

664
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Oh no, my bad, I might have

665
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: dropped you there. Thanks for the phone call, Jason with

666
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: the stat of the night. If I could steal something

667
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: from Dan Patrick here stat of the night. The last

668
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: time a team won as a seventeen point or more

669
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: underdog outright was Josh Allen's debut with the Bills. Jay,

670
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: I might have to fact check you on that. Oh,

671
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: we do have to break all right eight seven seven

676
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: he had reached out to the Jets, and they said,

677
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,720

Speaker 1: in bringing the crew, and of course you've all been busy.

683
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: Good morning, Shay, how are you you ready to Well?

684
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: I say, it's still good evening on the West coast, right.

685
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's eleven fifty one than you folks.

686
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're getting there. Are you someone that whenever it's

688
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 7: Oh not at all. I've got it all. Once the

689
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 7: sun comes out, it's good morning for me.

690
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fair enough, fair enough, I'm listen. There's

691
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: no rules here. Mark Ramsey's back running the show tonight.

692
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: He is the weekend warrior of the overnights. Mark. I

693
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: still think the most docking thing we learned last night

694
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: was that Brianna had never seen nor had heard of

695
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: Animal House.

696
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 16: It was a sad, sad moment, Oh my god, all

697
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 16: of history. It was to admit and to say I

698
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 16: have not seen.

699
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 7: That was just very sad.

700
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: Have you seen Animal House before?

701
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 7: I've seen it. I've seen it.

702
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: I just want to make say it was it over

703
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. Germans in bomb Pearl

704
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: Harbor on the roll, all right, we got a story

705
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: that I wanted to get your guys take on. I'm

706
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: going to read this report verbatim.

707
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 2: Uh, this is now. I want to be.

708
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: Clear, I'm not necessarily questioning whether or not this happened,

709
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: because the first report that I saw was from Diana

710
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: Rossini of The Athletic, and then Rich Samini reported it.

711
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: I think there were others that had it across the

712
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: NFL world. I don't think I've seen anything like We're

713
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: Rappaport or Adam Schefter had it.

714
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: But I don't need that.

715
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: But Bill Belichick apparently made a call to the Jets

716
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: before taking the head coaching job in North Carolina. Right,

717
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to read this report. The Athletic first reported

718
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: that Belichick's camp had contacted the Jets, with a New

719
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: York Post reporting that Belichick himself made the inquiry. There

720
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: were no formal discussions with the Jets, who fired Robert

721
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: Sally on October seventh, a source close to Belichick expressed

722
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: serious doubt about whether he had genuine interest, suggesting it

723
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: might simply have been due diligence. More, for years, Belichick

724
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: has expressed disdain for the Jets, so a reunion.

725
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: Never was a realistic possibility.

726
00:38:52,760 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: Wait, so, se if he did, why do he call?

727
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean what my head exploded when I

728
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: saw that. It's like, wait, so he called and inquired

729
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: about the Jets? That's right?

730
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: Did he have interest in the job?

731
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 10: Nah?

732
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 2: But what I mean, he wasn't calling to try to

733
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: hype someone up.

734
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 7: He's just like that old guy that like sticks his

735
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 7: like I got Thanksgiving, like your grandma, just walks up

736
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 7: to your like friends and like cousins and just like

737
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 7: kind of looks at you and he's like, all right,

738
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 7: but you.

739
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: Guys, do you guys? Uh? What's the line from Dumb

740
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: and Dumber big gulps? Huh just kind of sitting there

741
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: poking their nose.

742
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, Like that's what that is.

743
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: I've never been more perplexed by the reporting around something

744
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: in my life. Dinaver seeing how about this for a

745
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: plot twist? Bill Belichick reached out to the Jets about

746
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: their head coaching vacancy. Wow, but then you read a

747
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: little deeper. Yeah, he's never gonna take it. It's quakes.

748
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: I think I'm very perplexed right now. I think I'm

749
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: very confused.

750
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 7: You're not the only one.

751
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'll say this much. I'm a fan

752
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: of what Bill bell Belichick is doing. I think it's

753
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: going to be awesome to see him coach in the

754
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: college game, and I think we could be in for

755
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: a very sweet Bill Belichick FU two or to everyone

756
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: who went in another direction with the head coach, We're

757
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: talking Heisman Trophy next on Fox Sports Radio. Oh and

758
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: the Crew, and the Crew. The Sager's got updates the

759
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: top of the hour. Mark's running the program, Chase, keeping

760
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: us on the rails. Even though Gunny tried to get

761
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: me fired earlier. It's okay, Gunny, I still love you.

762
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

763
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: nine ninety six six three sixty nine. I want to

764
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: carve out some time for the Heisman and a Heisman

765
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: conversation because tonight Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy worthy winner.

766
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: In my mind, I didn't have him on my ballot.

767
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: I want to explain why coming up here in just

768
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: a bit. But I'll also add we've been sitting here

769
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: and it's two am Central time, three am on the

770
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: East Coast. Not a lot of live programming out there,

771
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: definitely not in the TV world. So I was watching

772
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: the reair of the Heisman ceremony during the first hour,

773
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: does she have a very unpopular opinion? And I'm just

774
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: gonna say this, and I'm gonna go to the phones.

775
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a more awkward thing in TV

776
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: than the Heisman Trophy ceremony. I just think from start

777
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: to finish, it's kind of cringe and I hate that

778
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: because I love the Heisman Trophy.

779
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 2: I love it.

780
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,479
Speaker 1: We turn it into this TV show and got talked

781
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: to family, and family's never comfortable being on TV. And

782
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: then you don't no one really knows when they're supposed

783
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: to turn someone's mics on and off, and like Travis

784
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: Hunter's mom is talking while he's talking. It's just I

785
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: don't know. Then you always get a former player up

786
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: there there, blessed the old Man's heart that makes the announcement.

787
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: He's awesome, but still it's just I don't know, man,

788
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: It's like it's one of the most uncomfortable things there is.

789
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: It's like, oh gosh, do I have to listen to

790
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: another interview with Andre Ware? What are we doing right now? Hey,

791
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: at least Chris Fowler was there to say today. Thought

792
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: he was pretty good. But he hand up Heisman fan

793
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: hand up, proud Heisman voter hand up. I think the

794
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: ceremony is just so awkward, and I don't know how

795
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: you make it smoother. I really don't, because you want

796
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: to celebrate him, but I almost, you know, I almost

797
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: feel like that you just gotta we got to quit

798
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: trying to make everything red carpet.

799
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: I mean we're even doing it.

800
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: We're doing it for the freaking NBA cop and I

801
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: blame the NFL.

802
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: Maybe I blame Taylor Swift.

803
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: Because now we've got everyone's entrance into the building. I mean, hell,

804
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: wwe was even doing it tonight on Saturday Night's made event.

805
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: I get everyone's intro to the building. But yeah, it's

806
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: a rough watch for me. I understand, I'm alone. I'm

807
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: not trying to bring people to my side. I just

808
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: want to let you know, if you're somebody that when

809
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: you watch the Heisman Trophy ceremony, like saying zawkward as hell.

810
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: You got a spirit animal here, I got your back,

811
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: all right?

812
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven ninety nine on fix am I wrong?

813
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: By the way, if you guys want to push back

814
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: hard Shay, let me know, because if you're a fan

815
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: of this and I'm misrepresenting the excitement of the Heisman

816
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Trophy ceremony, please call me out.

817
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 7: No, no, you're honestly, it's the most cringey. It it's cringey.

818
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's a cringe. It might be a better word.

819
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: By the way, my favorite thing that I've ever been

820
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: told by an athlete.

821
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: D D.

822
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: Westbrook was a Heisman finalist in try to do this.

823
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: Going backwards, I want to say seventeen, I'm gonna say

824
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. He was a Heisman finalist. This was before

825
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: they made the rule where they'll only take four people.

826
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: I think like seven people went to the Heisman final

827
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: finals that year and D. D.

828
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: Westbrook was one of them.

829
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: And I remember asking the former Sooner now former Viking

830
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: form NFL guy, like, hey, dude, what was the Heisman ceremony?

831
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: Like what was that week? Like he was I would

832
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: encourage everyone to try to do it. I'm like dear

00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,000

Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, duh, of course, He's like, no, Man,

00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: about the belt chick thing. But the heisman, going back

858
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 3: to what you said about your vote or whatever, you

859
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: kind of felt bad. You shouldn't because, first off, it's

860
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 3: an objective thing. You've obviously done your research, you know

861
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 3: what I mean, and judging by the Peanut Forum of

862
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 3: x like, you're probably onto something. So I mean, hey man,

863
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 3: sometimes nothing is cut and dried, especially in sports. You know,

864
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 3: there's a lot of blurred stuff. So hey man, kudos

865
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 3: to the young man Travis Hunter. And if that other

866
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 3: guy is truly you know, exceptional, then he'll be doing

867
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: it on.

868
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: Sunday, right, That's right, and he will be he will.

869
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 17: Be right on.

870
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 3: So that being said, I'm challenging you one thing, Plank.

871
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 3: You're in Oklahoma and I could smell the bulls squat

872
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 3: from here that's coming out at New York City? Are

873
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 3: you kiddying me? Dude? First off, mister Woodrow Johnson aka

874
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 3: Woody Johnson, not a porn star, but a NFL owner,

875
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 3: for God's sakes, Johnson and Johnson, you know, company money air.

876
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 3: This guy is trying to save face because look, man,

877
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 3: he's got egg all over his face from the way

878
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 3: he got hijacked by Aaron Frogers. And you know, now

879
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 3: this guy's at Camp by Yauasca, you know, eternally and

880
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 3: diminishing returns. This guy's floating around ducks over there like

881
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 3: Baiton Manning used to. So it's just a bad look.

882
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: So he's doing the old hey, don't look at that

883
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 3: look over here, and he's trying to say that bellet

884
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 3: Sheet reached out. Dude, you and I have heard bellet

885
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 3: Sheet smack this guy down left and right, you know,

886
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 3: backwards in four words, There's no way in hell Belichie

887
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 3: reached out. I think this is a sham. I think

888
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 3: that the New York Jets are trying to, you know,

889
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 3: come out and get some kind of a positive in

890
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 3: the fans eyes, where the fans could be like yeah

891
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 3: and Belichick, you know we said no to him, you

892
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: know when in reality, man, I don't think that ever happened.

893
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 13: So that's just my take.

894
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 3: Hey, Plank, you know I love you, man. Oh I

895
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: wanted to tell you Spaniard telling me man much pause.

896
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 14: Man, I've been listening.

897
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 3: To that guy since One on one Sports back in

898
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 3: ninety five. The guy is a fossil outro.

899
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: If we mean that in a good way, you're going to.

900
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: Artie. That's a good thing, I think, dude, I would

901
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: tell you. I would tell you something. I was looking

902
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: for a I was looking for a couple of tweets

903
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: for tonight's show, and there was a guy after the

904
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: show last week that was a big mad at me.

905
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: So you gotta pick on Ornie and b I'm like, bro,

906
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: do you listen to that show seriously? I mean, it's

907
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: three hours of all of us just getting ransacked. Hey, well,

908
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean obviously I'm more of a fan than you are,

909
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: you know. And then someone pushes back and and I

910
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: mean I didn't even reply because I was just so agast.

911
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you listening to the same show. Yeah,

912
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna push back and fight with him. When he

913
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: talks about primetime games being three o'clock in the afternoon games,

914
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: that's not primetime. But yeah, I I assume that fossil

915
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: is a award of praise. Yeah, Okay, let me add

916
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: this to what Manuel said. Let me just add this

917
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: and then we'll get back to the phone.

918
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: To an eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

919
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: I would love to take a calls all night long,

920
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 1: because there's so many things worth talking about in debating.

921
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: But I'm having the hardest time believing this happened with

922
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. And that's my point, That's what I brought up. Dude.

923
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: These are respected and trusted NFL reporters, right, These are

924
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: people that I don't think would like Dove climb in

925
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: this thing. I don't think that they would. I don't

926
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: think they would cap and four h five this thing.

927
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: Two people got that that's all that matters. I feel

928
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: like they're trusted, They've got peeps, they've got sources that

929
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: talk to them. But man, I am old enough to

930
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: remember Bill Belichick going scorched freaking earth on the New

931
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: York Jets during a Manning cast after they had just

932
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:50,439
Speaker 1: fired Robert Salah. I mean, I just find it very

933
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: hard to believe that he was so public in crushing

934
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson in this decision that then is as soon

935
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: as he got done, Bill Belichick personally would pick up

936
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: the phone be like, what'd you guys got?

937
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: Would you be interested? I'd love to.

938
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: I just cannot buy hardest thing. I'm with you, Manuel,

939
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you, but I gotta, I mean, I gotta

940
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: trust that what they're reporting is fact because they've I

941
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: feel like they've.

942
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 2: Been pretty solid.

943
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: Now sidebar to this again, I'm sidebarreing a lot just

944
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: to kind of cover my basis. I don't know what

945
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: the overall Jets fans opinion is on Rich Samani or

946
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: Diana Racini. I don't know if there's been some swings

947
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: and misses there in the past that you hold against him.

948
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 2: No clue.

949
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: I personally have had no reason to feel like they

950
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: would blow smoke up my backside. But I also have

951
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: no reason to believe that Bill Belichick would throttle Woody

952
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: Johnson on National TV the way that he did and

953
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: then pick up the phone a week later and be like,

954
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: hey man, you got a job. Just can't fathom that.

955
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: All right, back to the phones. Andre is in Massachusetts.

956
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: What's up, Andre, Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

957
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 3: How you doing.

958
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 6: Thanks for taking the call. Let's wanted to touch base. Comment

959
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 6: on Travis Hunters winning the Heisman Trophy and then his speech.

960
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 14: In terms of the win.

961
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 6: This is not even in the conversation I had him.

962
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 6: You know, if there was a unanimous award winner, I

963
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 6: would pick Travis hunter I just think what he's done.

964
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 3: Both sides of the ball.

965
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 6: Haven't seen it, you know, changing the paradigm. Will it

966
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 6: work in the NFL? Will he be able to do

967
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 6: the exact same thing.

968
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 18: I don't know, but it's going to be a conversation

969
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 18: in the NFL.

970
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 6: So for that and him deciding to go and take

971
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 6: the route that he did, obviously was committed to Florida State.

972
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 6: That was a great when he made the college decision.

973
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 6: That video was, you know, had allllle different hats on

974
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 6: and then decided to go to Jackson State. So I'm

975
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 6: just the person who he is, how he comports himself,

976
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 6: what we're seeing on the field, and then in the speech,

977
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 6: you know, just speaking from the heart, you know, and

978
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 6: making everybody, particularly his father who.

979
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 3: Couldn't be there, you know, and just you know, I

980
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: did it for you.

981
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 6: And I wanted to kind of represent you. I just

982
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,439
Speaker 6: think it summarized. It's a great moment in a great

983
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 6: college football season with the college football playoffs expanding.

984
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 3: So I was really encouraged.

985
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 6: Unfortunate that Colorado couldn't be in the mixing of They

986
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 6: had some losses here and there, but Travis Hunter, I

987
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 6: just think he's a runaway star. He's going to what

988
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 6: we're seeing now in college I think it's going to

989
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 6: seamlessly transition, and it's another question of whether he'll be

990
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 6: able or how much he'll be able to impact the

991
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 6: game on both sides of the ball. Concluding point, his

992
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 6: coach who we shouted out, Deon Sanders. You know that's

993
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 6: the prototype, you know, And obviously Deon Sanders didn't play

994
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 6: whok around both sides of the ball, but he clearly

995
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 6: played two sports and was very successful. So within one

996
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 6: the framework of one sport, I think that Travis Hunter

997
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 6: can have equivalent success on both sides of the ball

998
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 6: and being a generational hall the same type of player.

999
00:52:58,440 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 17: Thanks taking the call.

1000
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 1: I think there's still a chance he could go number

1001
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: one in the draft, and the way I see it,

1002
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: I just I feel like both the Raiders and the

1003
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: Giants might back into a win, and I think there's

1004
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: still a chance that the Jaguars could have the top pick.

1005
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,479
Speaker 1: And if you're Jacksonville and you have that top pick,

1006
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that you would pass on bringing a

1007
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: guy like Travis Suner on board, right, even though you

1008
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: might get a boatload of money from the team that

1009
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: ends up three, if they really fall in love with

1010
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: Shador cam Ward, right, or even I guess two wouldn't

1011
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: really matter unless someone tries to jump in front of you.

1012
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: I guess I'm pointing out. I don't disagree with you.

1013
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: I think he's great. In fact, I even discovered it

1014
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: more kind of as I tried to dig in as

1015
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: deep as I could on the numbers, but I really

1016
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 1: dug more into what the Heisman Trophy is supposed to be.

1017
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: And I've been voted for thirteen years now, maybe fourteen

1018
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: maybe fifteen years now, right, I take it very serious,

1019
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: and I've always thought most valuable player. So I went

1020
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: and dug a little bit more, a little deeper, and

1021
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: I found this. It's pretty fraudo show. I'm Chris Blank,

1022
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: sitting in Shan and Mark are running the show. We're

1023
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: talking Heisman Trophy at eight seven seven ninety nine on

1024
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: Fox eight seven seven nine ninety six sixty three sixt' nine.

1025
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: Coming up in a bit a couple of other college

1026
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: football notes.

1027
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 2: What is the Heisman?

1028
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: This is a description of what the Heisman represents, according

1029
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: to the Heisman Trust, the most outstanding player in college

1030
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: football whose performance epitomizes great ability combined with diligence, perseverance,

1031
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: and hard work. Now, I mean again, I think some

1032
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: of these we have to assume, right, We have to

1033
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: assume diligence, we have to believe in the perseverance, and

1034
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: you'd have to think that if you got to this point,

1035
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: you're a hard worker, right. But the most outstanding player

1036
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: in college football I've always viewed it, and I think

1037
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,959
Speaker 1: that's where that's where some things are maybe a little

1038
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: bit grey when it comes to how people vote for

1039
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. It's kind of a choose your own adventure, right,

1040
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: It's what you make of it. But the more and

1041
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: more I thought about that today, Travis Hunter was the

1042
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: most outstanding player in college football this year? Why because

1043
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: he was able to do it on both sides of

1044
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: the football I voted for I voted for gent Ashton

1045
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: Gent He was number one on my ballot because I

1046
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: just thought he was better in what he did than

1047
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: what Travis Hunter was individually in either one of the

1048
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,479
Speaker 1: things that he did, but combined, right, what Travis Hunter

1049
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: did was more impressive, I think, at least.

1050
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 2: In the eyes of all the other voters.

1051
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: Right. But like, for instance, this was making the round.

1052
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: So this isn't necessarily original from me, but an impacted

1053
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: me it made a difference for me. Voter Ashton Gent

1054
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: was number one in the country in rushing attempts, rushing yards,

1055
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage, rushing touchdowns, touchdowns from scrimmage, total touchdowns,

1056
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: and total points. He was number three in the country

1057
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: in rushing yards per attempt, and Boise States total offensive

1058
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: numbers had them as the fourth best offense in all

1059
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: of college football. Meanwhile, Travis Hunter, while it's impressive that

1060
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: he was in like the top fifteen in each of

1061
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: these positions, right, but he was sixth in receptions, fourteenth

1062
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 1: in receiving yards, fourteenth in receiving yards per game, wasn't

1063
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: in the top one hundred in yards per reception. He

1064
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: was tied for eighth in receiving touchdowns. And then on

1065
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, And I understand it's

1066
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: a little bit skewed to look at interceptions, but he

1067
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: was tied for twenty ninth interceptions on a team whose

1068
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: overall passing defense was fifty third overall and a total

1069
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: offense that was fifty six And again, maybe unfair ways

1070
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: that I looked at it, but it's how.

1071
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 2: I viewed it.

1072
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: He had several games as a receiver where he didn't

1073
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: even eclipse thirty year uplost several. He had won too

1074
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: many games where he didn't eclipse thirty yards as a receiver.

1075
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you can have one bad game, but two

1076
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: three catches for twenty six yards against Kansas State, two

1077
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: for seventeen against Arizona, five for fifty five against Utah.

1078
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: So I looked at that and I probably held that

1079
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: against him a little bit too much. I still stand

1080
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: behind Ashton gent being my vote, but I don't come

1081
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: here as someone that's like Pleae Travis Owner. Look at

1082
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: the snaps. No, No, He's worthy and at the core

1083
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: of what the Heisman Trophy is supposed to be. He's

1084
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: probably the most outstanding player in college football. But in

1085
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: my mind, I don't think he was the most important

1086
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: guy on Colorado's team. I thought it was Shador Sanders,

1087
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: and I definitely thought that Ashton Genty deserved a little

1088
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: bit more than he did.

1089
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 2: But he's a winner and we'll hear from him next.

1090
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 2: When I say that the Heisman.

1091
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: Trophy ceremony is cringe and it makes me very uncomfortable.

1092
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: I want to make this very clear. I'm not talking

1093
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: about the guy's speeches. I think those are usually off awesome.

1094
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: I think everything leading up to it like, oh my gosh,

1095
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: just announced the freaking winner. Please get get all these

1096
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: get all the old heads up there, bless their hearts,

1097
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: let them make their announcements and tell me who won

1098
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: the award, and then let's celebrate all their careers afterwards.

1099
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: Oh all right, quick break, it's the Bertie Frattle Shaw.

Speaker 1: with Arnie Spaniard here from ten p to one a

1115
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: central time. And when I say I'm talking about my

1116
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: Heisman vote, where maybe I made a mistake, I don't

1117
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: really see that much of a difference between most outstanding

1118
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: and most valuable.

1119
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty much the same thing. But my

1120
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: point was is.

1121
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just outstanding that a guy was able to

1122
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: do both at the level that Travis Hunter in obviously,

1123
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: because I mean, he won the Heisman Trophy and was

1124
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: one of the more lopsided favorites that we've had since

1125
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: gambling on the Heisman Trophy became a thing, and then

1126
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: it ended up being as close of a balloting as

1127
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: we've had in quite a while, at least in total

1128
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: overall votes, not really in first place votes. But I

1129
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: just I kind of thought that in my world, most

1130
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: outstanding and most valuable are pretty close. And I thought

1131
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty was more deserving, and I thought that Shirhor

1132
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: Sanders was more important. It was more outstanding in what

1133
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: he did. But like I said, if you pull back,

1134
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: you look at the core of it, and you want

1135
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: to say br but he's playing two positions and he's

1136
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: doing both of them at an elite level. Then maybe

1137
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I swung a mist on the way that I looked

1138
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: at it. But the amazing thing about it is just

1139
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: how the one cool thing about the Heisman is it

1140
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: is a little bit of an unknown. You can say

1141
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: it's the most outstanding and everyone can have their own

1142
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: different opinion, which is why you have so many voters.

1143
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: You have nine hundred and twenty eight voters for this thing.

1144
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: Every region they is represented, and it's cool to see. Now,

1145
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: is there too mini voters?

1146
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 2: Maybe? Do you have a problem with Travis Hunter winning

1147
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 2: the Heisman? No, I think it's awesome.

1148
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: I hate how to defend one point you have to

1149
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: tear down something else. It's my least favorite thing in life.

1150
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: I can sit here and give you all my numbers

1151
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: why I voted for Ashton gent and why I thought

1152
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: he deserved the Heisman, at least in my eyes, and

1153
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: then also tell you why I think that Travis Hunter

1154
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: deserved it because it was one heck of a fight.

1155
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, Cam Scattabo deserve to be there.

1156
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,479
Speaker 1: I don't think he's didn't go well for bryceon Daily Today,

1157
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: but he deserved to be there. So I hope, I

1158
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: hope the college ranks get back to allowing a few

1159
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: more people at the heisman ceremony. All right, let's go

1160
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: to the phones. We'll play Travis Huner time permitting later

1161
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: in this segment, but I want to get to your

1162
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight

1163

Speaker 1: seven seven nine ninety six, six three sixty nine.

1164
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 2: Tom is in South Carolina. What's going on?

1165
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Tom?

1166
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 2: Welcome to Fox.

1167
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 18: Thank you, Chris. First off, first time ever listen to

1168
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 18: your show. And I got to tell you, I agree

1169
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 18: basically with everything you've been talking about. I've really enjoyed

1170
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 18: listening to you this morning, everything like that, really seriously.

1171
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 18: But no, I'm a I'm with you on uh, you know,

1172
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 18: with with Ashton and everything like that. I think my

1173
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 18: thing is, I believe that you brought it up earlier,

1174
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 18: what is the actual definition? And I think everybody has

1175
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 18: different opinions of what is the definition of the Heisman,

1176
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 18: of who's winning the Heisman, of what they are looking

1177
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 18: for and everything like that, And I guess I'm just

1178
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 18: going to get right to the point I look at

1179
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 18: it as And again I'm with you. You just said,

1180
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 18: I don't think you know, you need to, you know,

1181
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 18: tear down somebody else to get you know, lift somebody

1182
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 18: else up. But I just look at it with Travis

1183
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 18: Hunter playing both sides, really really big, really big. But

1184
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 18: at the same time, if say Travis Hunter is not

1185
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 18: on the team for any type of reason, an injury

1186
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 18: or something like that, where are they in their record

1187
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 18: and everything like that, It could be less than nine

1188
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 18: and three, It could be a little bit more. But

1189
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 18: Boise State, and look, I'm on the East Coast. I

1190
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 18: don't get to watch a lot of West Coast games,

1191
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 18: but I mean, Boise State at twelve and one, you

1192
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 18: take ash out, are they twelve and one? Where are

1193
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 18: they exactly? And I think that's just I think it

1194
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 18: has to be in my opinion, whenever I think about

1195
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 18: this stuff, if you take somebody out of a team

1196
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 18: in college football and you're talking about the Heisman, that

1197
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 18: shows if you take them out and they're not even

1198
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 18: close to twelve and one, well then you know they're

1199
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 18: obviously that person has helped them.

1200
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 3: Get to that point.

1201
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 18: That's really really huge. And again I'm not going to

1202
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 18: sit here and say I know everything about Boise State,

1203
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 18: because I truly don't, but I know about him. I've

1204
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 18: seen his clips and stuff. So that's the way I

1205
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 18: look at it with the Heisman trophy. I'm I was

1206
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 18: being I was hoping that Aston would win it. But again,

1207
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 18: two way player in inside this hunter. I get it,

1208
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 18: you know. So, Yeah, understandable.

1209
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, man, I appreciate it. Thanks for

1210
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: your patience too. I left him on hold a little

1211
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: bit too long. He said so many nice things about me.

1212
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: I feel terrible right now. That's my cousin ron out

1213

Speaker 7: How does that to say? Yeah, sounds like he knew you.

1232
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm not complaining about it.

1233
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're right.

1234
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 14: So something different, you know, like you know when you

1235
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 14: go to a restaurant and you always order the same thing,

1236
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 14: a new flavor from the menu, it's always a good thing.

1237
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you, Poppy, I don't disagree with you.

1238
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 14: And yeah, let's tuck NFL. You know a lot of

1239
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 14: good games. Can you tell us the line? I really

1240
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 14: like the game on the Broncos Colts game.

1241
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 10: That's a really great game. You know.

1242
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Let me see here. The updated number on Broncos Colts

1243
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: is Denver minus four and a half. That's that's ESPN Bett.

1244
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: Let me go scores in odds. Real quick, you realize

1245
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: that if Indianapolis wins this game, Poppy, there is a

1246
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: chance that they can finish the season ten and seven, Yeah,

1247
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: four and a half.

1248
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 2: All across the board with an undred and forty four

1249
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 2: and a half.

1250
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: By the way, this line opened with the Colts is

1251
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite, and I don't

1252
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: know when that opening was, maybe in the off season.

1253
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 2: Now it's at four and a half for the Broncos.

1254
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 14: Well, you know, on this one, I really love the

1255
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 14: Denver Broncos with a great coach. You should be coach

1256
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 14: of the Year Sean Payton in my opinion, but hey,

1257
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 14: I don't get a vote on that. But look, I

1258
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 14: really love Vone Necks and everything the Denver Broncos are doing.

1259
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 14: And it's going to be in mile High. So give

1260
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 14: me minus four and a half. We're going to make

1261
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 14: that bling bling bling on that game on the Broncos.

1262
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 14: And I have another game if you want another, another poppy.

1263
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: I want all the picks, So give me one more game.

1264
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: What else do you like in this weekend?

1265
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 14: One more I'm really liking on this canting you tell

1266
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 14: me the Steelers and the Steelers against the Philadelphia Eagles.

1267
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 14: I really love that matchup.

1268
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Philly, Philly is at home, Philly's at home and leaking financial.

1269
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: They are a five and a half point favorite right now.

1270
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 14: Wow, you know what, I'm going to have to go

1271
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 14: take the Steelers because the Steelers have a great defense,

1272
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 14: the offense with you know, you know, Jalen hurts against

1273
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 14: a J. Brown, but there's a lot of trauma right

1274
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 14: there in the locker room, and I really don't like that.

1275
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 14: And you got Mike Tomlin with the defense that are

1276
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 14: going to be stepping up. But what's they're unlimited?

1277
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 10: To me?

1278
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 14: The plus five and a half with the black and yellow.

1279
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 11: You like that?

1280
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: I like that one a lot. Poppy, you have a

1281
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: great time today, man, I hope all your picks hit. Betally,

1282
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: speaking of mister unlimited, I don't know how we're going

1283
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: to have time for it, but at some point, maybe

1284
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: next hour, in the midst of all the fun of

1285
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Week fifteen. Some of us are fans of teams that suck,

1286
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: so we've already already started thinking about the off season,

1287
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: and I think we could have a wild quarterback carousel

1288
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: this offseason. And Russell Wilson is on a one year,

1289
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: one point five million dollar deal with the Steelers and

1290
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: he's been really good. Sam Donald, I mean, what are

1291
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings going to do with Sam Darnold? Mean?

1292
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Because right now I feel like I could just guarantee

1293
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: you two teams that are gonna have different starters on

1294
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: opening Day in twenty five than they did in twenty

1295
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: four at least two guy, two teams that would have

1296
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: a dude that wasn't projected as their starting quarterback right

1297
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: everywhere else is kind of up in the air.

1298
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 2: Gino Smith's playing for a contract.

1299
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Saints don't really have a decision to make with Derek

1300
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: Carr contractually or just as good to keep him unless

1301
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: you want a tank. There's a lot of good What

1302
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: is the future in Cleveland? Can you get out of

1303
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: de Shaan Watts? What are you gonna do right now?

1304
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: If you're the New York Jets, are you just gonna

1305
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,879
Speaker 1: have to suffer through another year with Aaron Rodgers?

1306
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 18: Like?

1307
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: I feel like the Raiders and the Giants are the

1308
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: two teams that will have a different starting quarterback in

1309
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: twenty five than they've had a majority of twenty twenty four.

1310
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 2: But beyond that, I've got two, four, six, eight.

1311
01:08:56,320 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: Nine teams, nine different teams that could end up with

1312
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: something different starting at quarterback next season. We'll get into

1313
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: that coming up a little bit later on the program,

1314
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: but let's get back to the phones real quick. Put

1315
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 1: a wrap on this segment with Butch in Germany, Germany,

1316
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: what's going on Butch.

1317
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,720
Speaker 10: Hey, what's going on, Chris Taria? I'm great man, Hey,

01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 10: on your other show too. But you're still in for

1320
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 10: Bernie doing a great job.

1321
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 2: Thanks buddy.

1322
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: It's always a little different world here, especially where are

1323
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: you at in Germany? Is it like nine in the

1324
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: morning there for you?

1325
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 10: Uh? Yeah, it's uh it's nine thirty.

1326
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, man?

1327
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 2: What what what try to call what's on your mind tonight?

1328
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 10: Well, you're talking about the Heisen thing and you get

1329
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 10: you gave the definition and we're talking about uh, you

1330
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 10: know the guy the two guys and shoot or should

1331
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 10: have not won this year, which reminds me of the

1332
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 10: year that I think it reminded me when Christian McCaffrey

1333
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 10: got totally jobbed just because Derrick Henry was on Alabama

1334
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 10: and they won the national championship. Christian McCaffrey had like,

1335
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 10: I don't know, three thousand something like all purpose yards,

1336
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 10: you know, speaking of you know, so speaking of you know,

1337
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 10: the guy from Colorado, both sides, you know, he had

1338
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 10: all kinds of things. But I think I'm pretty sure

1339
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 10: was Derrick Henry one it that year, But.

1340
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 2: So what did the team by the way, you're right

1341
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. You're absolutely right.

1342
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: It was Derrick Henry that won and it was Christian

1343
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: McCaffrey that was the runner up.

1344
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, totally totally jobbed on that one. And yes,

1345
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 17: I agree with you. The Heisland ceremony sucks. Three or

1346
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 17: four guys sitting in front of a TV, some people

1347
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 17: talking and then someone went the trophy.

1348
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 10: It's like they could pick a.

1349
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 17: Way better way of doing that.

1350
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 13: And yeah, I agree.

1351
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in from Germany. Germany, let's go. I

1352
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on. It's like someone with

1353
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: someone trying to start a fighting with him. When that

1354
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:08,759
Speaker 1: call started, check.

1355
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 7: It sounded like a yeah. I mean Germany is pretty intense.

1356
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,839
Speaker 2: So maybe it was his daughter getting upset.

1357
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 7: Could be that too. I think that would be the

1358
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 7: more more more viable right.

1359
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:28,799
Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen yards rushing for Christian McCaffrey in twenty fifteen

1360
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 1: finished second. What a wild top five that year for

1361
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:36,440
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. Derrick Henry won it, followed by Christian McCaffrey.

1362
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was a sophomore Clemson, Baker Mayfield was fourth,

1363
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: and Keenan Reynolds out of Navy made the top five.

1364
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he got to go to New York though,

1365
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: didn't get enough votes, But you know, that was the year.

1366
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny shows you how much how much

1367
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: things have changed in just the span of what fifteen

1368
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: nine years ago. One of the big complaints about McCaffrey

1369
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: not winning that season was because not enough people stayed

1370
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: up and watched his games. I mean, it was a

1371
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:16,799
Speaker 1: lot of East Coast, Southeast southern byas and Derrick Henry

1372
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: ended up winning the award. Don't get me wrong, Henry

1373
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: was deserving, but that's probably one of those years where

1374
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: McCaffrey deserved it. There's a couple like that where you

1375
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: look back and you say, you know that I would

1376
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: never take anything away from my sooners. Kyler Murray won

1377
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 1: it in twenty eighteen, and he might have won it

1378
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: because it was one of the first years they started

1379
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: mailing ballots out. Later, because they used to mail them

1380
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: out like start in November, and you'd have dopes that

1381
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 1: would vote on it then because they've already made their

1382
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: mind up, I guess in November. So everyone waited that

1383
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: year because I think it was like lamarja who had

1384
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: won it, and everyone kind of decided that Lamar Jackson

1385
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: had won the award early in the season a couple

1386
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: of years back, so everyone was patient. And then Tua

1387
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 1: got hurt in the SEC championship game and it probably

1388
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: won the award for Kyler Murray because he had a huge,

1389
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,799
Speaker 1: big twelve championship game that day. But I'll be curious

1390
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: if history we'll remember this Heisman Trophy as the one

1391
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: where the right guy didn't win it? Right, Well, history

1392
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: remember it as, Hey, it's Ashton Gent's award, or will

1393
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: we look back and say what Travis Hunter did was

1394
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: more than deserving. I tend to think the latter he

1395
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: deserved it. All Right, we got a break. Look at this,

1396
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: Look at this. When we come back, I want to

1397
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: do a double check on some of the injuries that

1398
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 1: have taken place and who's in and who's out, and

1399
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: we'll check some of your tweets at Plank Show at

1400
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Been a busy start to a Sunday morning,

1401
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: so we'll get you ready for a week fifteen. Right

1402
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio, I were cooking Sunday night

1403
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and for Bernie Fratto, my name is

1404
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: Chris Plank. I'm very active on Twitter this week and

1405
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: for some reason at Plank Show. That's at Plank Show

1406
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 1: all one word. I don't know what it is. I

1407
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: just I was so I was so fired up by

1408
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: some of the college basketball action. Then the overall kind

1409
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: of tidbits on the voting for the Heisman Trophy caught

1410
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: my attention, seeing how tight it was but kind of

1411
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 1: really not. Then realizing where all of these guys started,

1412
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 1: even going to the top ten as far as finalists.

1413
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: So I was all in on that they get NFL talk.

1414
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: That's just enraging for me right now. It's like, I know,

1415
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: I know this is better for my team long term

1416
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 1: to lose football games, But come Saturday or Sunday, I guess,

1417
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 1: in this case, Monday night, It's like, Shay, I can't

1418
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: bring myself to be.

1419
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 2: Like, goat, go loose. I want to win every game.

1420
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 2: This is hard.

1421
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: And when Max Crosby is out for the rest of

1422
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: the year, will you lose your best player on your roster?

1423
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: They'll probably win on Monday night. By the way, speaking

1424
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: of that Monday night football game, Shaye, do you know

1425
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the reason I mean is there why we're doing double

1426
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: headers this late in the season on Monday night football.

1427
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 7: I genuinely have no idea. I was thinking the same

1428
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 7: thing too, because it's only been a thing during holidays.

1429
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, early in the season.

1430
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, earlier in the season they did it, and then

1431
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 7: they stopped doing it, and then now we're going back

1432
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 7: to I don't know's It makes zero sense to me,

1433
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 7: to be honest, I mean they're both pretty boring game.

1434
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean listen, if you're not a die

1435
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: hard Raiders Falcons, yeah, Bears Monday Nights Vikings. Yeah, if

1436
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: you're not a diehard fan of those teams and you're

1437
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: kind of out, it's like, oh my gosh, what are

1438
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: we doing?

1439
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 7: And it's not like it's like it's not like a

1440
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,799
Speaker 7: one o'clock start and like a five oclock. It's literally

1441
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 7: like five thirty minutes. Yeah, it's thirty minute difference, which

1442
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 7: it makes sense because everyone's getting off work, I guess.

1443
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 1: But here's the answer that the Google machine gave us.

1444
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: Apparently there are more weeks because in twenty twenty one,

1445
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: the NFL reached an agreement with ESPN to feature more

1446
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: broadcasts on ABC, ESPN and Disney. The New agreement gave

1447
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: the network the rights to broadcast twenty three games per season,

1448
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 1: and that started last year. It was a six game

1449
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: increase from the seventeen games that they could broadcast under

1450
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: the previous agreement, and in order to fit in the

1451
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: full twenty three games in an eighteen week season, several

1452
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: weeks each season will now have multiple money at football games.

1453
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 1: So there's nothing special, there's no why behind it except

1454
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: ESPN paid more money. Now this is me, all right,

1455
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: and I might be alone on this, but if I'm paying, well,

1456
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: there's like a million dollars to the NFL. I I

1457
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: don't want the games starting right on top of each other.

1458
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's literally I feel like you're cutting off

1459
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: your nose to spite your face. It's like, okay, so

1460
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 1: one game's gonna started six o'clock Central time, the next

1461
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 1: one's gonna start at six thirty. Like if you staggered

1462
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,560
Speaker 1: him maybe an hour and a half that'd be a

1463
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: little bit better. But there is the why, and the

1464
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: why still doesn't make those games any more entertaining, does it.

1465
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: I tried shouts out by the way tonight, Gunny, thanks

1466
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: for battling through at chief seventy two. Some of the

Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I don't think we touched base soon enough. And

1474
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: I just see that I got a message from him

1475
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half ago. Next week, next week,

1476
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 1: Mark will be back. My bad, My bad, that's just

1477
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 1: swinging a miss on my front.

1478
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 2: Shout out.

1479
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,799
Speaker 1: Shaney Sean, who was the one guy excited about NBA

1480
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: talk should be Man, the grizz are actually pretty good.

1481
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: Ralph Cup, Come come on, man, it's the NBA Cup.

1482
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: The bucks are in, buddy. We filled up the phone

1483
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: lines in the first hour in the NBA Cup. That's sarcasm.

1484
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: Ralph writes, I have a feeling Arnie will do two

1485
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: things playing. Number one, send the rundown early in the morning,

1486
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: maybe before the show wins at six am Eastern, and

1487
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: number two request that he drives the car Sunday night

1488
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: after you finish.

1489
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,440
Speaker 2: To Bernie Fillen, shows.

1490
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Ralph, I'm telling you guys right now, I beg Arnie

1491
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 1: to drive the show because he has no care what

1492
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: I ever have to say. You know I want to

1493
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm telling you, Ralph, you ever want to go?

1494
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: It's his if he wants it. I could easily be

1495
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: his sidekick. I mean, I'm already his sidekick. What am

1496
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: I talking about? Doug Wrights play Butch is a bin

1497
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: Mallard caller and is usually on the Autobahn doing about

1498
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour.

1499
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 7: Boit we have really, but Butch just called in by

1500
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 7: the way actually, and he goes, uh yeah, yeah, uh uh.

1501
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 7: Family sick. I was trying to feed my daughter.

1502
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 2: Oh what a great dad.

1503
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 7: I was trying to feed my daughter medicine and I

1504
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 7: was like, oh, I feel horrible now, Butch, I'm an

1505
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 7: a hole. Yeah, we suck.

1506
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: Bunch is a good dad, though, Yeah, he's awesome. I'm terrible.

1507
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: And then Jeff Wrights, why don't they offer consolation prizes

1508
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 1: for the runners up of the Heisman? If these four

1509
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: the best college players in the nation, then they should

1510
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: have second, third, and fourth place prizes. Just a thought,

1511
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: maybe Jeff that goes back to what Deanie Westbrook told me. Right, man,

1512
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 1: if you ever get a chance, you need to try

1513
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:54,600
Speaker 1: to win the Heisman, like things like have little mini sculptures,

1514
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 1: many trophies. A lot of these guys end up picking

1515
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: up other awards, right, like the Maxwell Award, the Devut

1516
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: O'Brien awards, so consolation prizes for the Heisman. I think

1517
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm here for it all right. When we come back,

1518
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: We're all in on the big matchups in the NFL.

1519

Speaker 1: tire rack dot com. The way tire buying should be.

1534
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: Everything seems so specific in the open. I feel like

1535
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: I can't talk anything but NFL right now, and I

1536
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: honestly don't know if there's anything else I want to

1537
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:04,560
Speaker 1: talk talk more about now, full disclosure in this exact

1538
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: time slot slot time period, if you will, last night.

1539
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what the carryover is like from one

1540
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,719
Speaker 1: night to the other. I know there might be someone

1541
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: up on the East Coast having to take a friend

1542
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: of the airport or dropping someone off, or maybe you're

1543
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 1: just getting back from Army, Navy, or I don't know,

1544
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: you're just a crazy person. It gets up this early

1545
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: to live life. Maybe you're on the West Coast and

1546
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: you're just getting home from a night out on the bars.

1547
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,919
Speaker 1: Don't drink and drive, I fat drink tonight, don't drive.

1548
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: Too many options out there, lift uber, all kinds of

1549
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: ride shares. Don't risk it, it's not worth it. So

1550
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what the carryover is like as far

1551
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: as people listening from last night in the same time

1552
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: period tonight. But last night in this slot, Shay we

1553
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: talked in depth about the issues in Philadelphia this past week,

1554
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: and I think it's one of the most fascinating stories

1555
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year. Part and parcel because the

1556
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 1: Eagles are the best teams I think in the NFL

1557
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: this year, and they're currently in the midst of one

1558
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: of the hottest streaks that we've seen in the NFL.

1559
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 1: But yet it's been a week dripping with drama. So

1560
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 1: I think I think I want to try to talk

1561
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 1: about Eagles Steelers without talking about the drama and maybe

1562
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 1: save the drama for next hour because I spent so

1563
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: much time on it here last night. I mean, it's

1564
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: it's fascinating whenever you see the starting quarterback basically getting

1565
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:36,759
Speaker 1: blasted by a star wide receiver and then people talking

1566
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: about not making it personal, and then all of a

1567
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: sudden it's like, oh, yeah, they worked it out.

1568
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, there's got to be something more

1569
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 2: to this, right.

1570
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 7: Shay, Honestly, Okay, I wait, are you an Eagles fan.

1571
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 7: I'm not an Eagles fan. I'm a Browns fan.

1572
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: Actually, so oh sorry, I picture team earlier to win today.

1573
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 7: No, it's okay, I don't want them to win. I

1574
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 7: say what he like, I thought you were talking about

1575
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 7: their all sit there.

1576
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 1: For like an hour wanting them to win, and they'll

1577
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you know what, it's not really good

1578
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 1: if we win this game. But I digress.

1579
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 7: The only time I want them to win is when

1580
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 7: they play the Steelers. That's pretty much it. It's the same

1581
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 7: way you want them to win against the Chiefs. You know,

1582
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 7: that's track.

1583
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you only win two games a year, beat

1584
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, so the Broncos or the Charger with it

1585
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: be Fortunately, unfortunately there are two wins of this year,

1586
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Brown So it makes zero sense whatsoever.

1587
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:27,759
Speaker 1: But you am I making too much of this because

1588
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to say anyone egg desa on here.

1589
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say, well, this was Brianna's idea

1590
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: last night, because I am just infatuated with this story

1591
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: right now.

1592
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,640
Speaker 7: Okay, it's definitely a hot story. But the thing is is,

1593
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 7: I think this happens with every team. It's just aj

1594
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 7: Brown decided to go to the media with it, which

1595
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 7: is something I'm super against. I just didn't like the

1596
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 7: fact that he did that. I mean, dude, everyone has beef.

1597
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 7: Everyone for some reason is upset at their star player

1598
01:23:57,680 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 7: or quarterback or whatever and their star widers either. It

1599
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 7: happens like we see this a lot. I as an

1600
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 7: athlete saw within my own team it happens a lot,

1601
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 7: but it's something that in the end, like it is

1602
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 7: something you can just get over. I mean, dudes are dudes,

1603
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 7: and they'll start yelling at each other one day and

1604
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 7: then the next minute they're sharing a beer. Like I

1605
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 7: think it was definitely blown into something way bigger because

1606
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 7: that's what we as media love doing, of course, but no,

1607
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 7: I could definitely see them just being like, oh, we're good,

1608
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 7: let's go win a super Bowl. It's it's easy to

1609
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 7: do that when, especially when you're a grown man and

1610
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 7: you get paid that much money to do that. So

1611
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 7: I definitely think there isn't too much to it. But

1612
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 7: it is a little frightening to hear as a fan. Hey,

1613
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 7: my star wide receiver and my star quarterback are not

1614
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,759
Speaker 7: really liking each other, but who cares because say, Karen

1615
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 7: is doing amazing.

1616
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 2: Go win football gig exact right.

1617
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 7: Exactly, So I think it's just a little too much.

1618
01:24:55,640 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts has won forty five of his sixty four

1619
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: games as a starting quarterback. So my point here is

1620
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold off on the drama. I want to

1621
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 1: talk about the game. I want to talk about this game.

1622
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Steelers Eagles. I want to

1623
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: talk about Bill's lions here in this segment. First off

1624
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 1: with the Steelers and the Eagles. Does the concern over

1625
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 1: the lacks of a passing game bother you for me? Yeah?

1626
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,600
Speaker 2: But again, all they do is win, win, win, no

1627
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 2: matter what.

1628
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: And even though Jalen Hurts can become just the fifth

1629
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: quarterback since the fifties with at least three career winning

1630
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: streaks of at least ten games, think about that for

1631
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: a bit. The Eagles are on the cusp of a

1632
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: ten game winning streak and for Jalen Hurts as a starter,

1633
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: it will be the third time that it's happened in

1634
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: his career. The only other quarterbacks that have done that

1635
01:25:56,439 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 1: are John Manning, who John Elway, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady,

1636
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes. I mean, it's just incredible. Uh, there

1637
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: is that pink elephant in the room that four targets

1638
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,640
Speaker 1: last week for aj Brown with just concerning but I

1639
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 1: feel like that's countered by Saquon Barkley question question around

1640
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 1: the Horn, Shaye, I'll start with you. Do you feel

1641
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: like Saquon Barkley would be having a season like this

1642
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:26,879
Speaker 1: if he was a Giant?

1643
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 2: No?

1644
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 7: Right, I don't think he would be heavy no season

1645
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:37,599
Speaker 7: like this on any other team, exactly. I just best

1646
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 7: case scenario for him, and I don't think any There

1647
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 7: aren't a lot of running backs that could take advantage

1648
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 7: of having a team like this. And I'm not taking

1649
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,719
Speaker 7: he's Yeah, I'm not gonna take that away from Saquon either,

1650
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 7: but he's definitely in a position to be his best self.

1651
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 7: And I'm happy for him. I mean, even Giant fans

1652
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 7: that are happy for him, like they're.

1653
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 2: They Giants fans are happy. But it's gotta be painful.

1654
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 7: Oh yeah. It's like seeing your ex girlfriend that still

1655
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 7: likes you and you're friends with with someone so much

1656
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 7: better than you, so you have to be like, oh.

1657
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Oh hey, and she looks good. Yeah she likeay it,

1658
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: she looks great. Yeah awesome. At least they're not a

1659
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: Raider fan or a Brown.

1660
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 2: Fan, right, I mean, listen, they could be living r hell.

1661
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 7: Right, yeah, two hundred billion for one.

1662
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: Here's the other side of it is Pittsburgh. I watched

1663
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers before Russell Wilson took over whenever they played

1664
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And that night, the Steelers won the game

1665
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:40,559
Speaker 1: thirty two to thirteen. Okay, but at that point it

1666
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 1: was only their fourth win of the season. And I

1667
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: came away from that game again, thirty two to thirteen.

1668
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: I came away from that game thinking, I think Pittsburgh

1669
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:54,600
Speaker 1: kind of sucks. I'm not even lying, because that was

1670
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: a game where it finally became more than a two

1671
01:27:57,680 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: score game with about four minutes to go in the

1672
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,560
Speaker 1: third quarter. Like it took Pittsburgh a little bit to

1673
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 1: fully pull away. It was never in doubt, but I thought,

1674
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 1: I thought the Raiders played one of their worst games

1675
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: of the year and they were still in a position

1676
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: to make that a game in the third quarter. Like,

1677
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 1: you got to be kidding me right now, and we

1678
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: were still living Steeler fans, right the Justin Fields roller

1679
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: coaster where one week kind of like in the second

1680
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 1: half of that Raiders game, he looks incredible, right, I

1681
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,640
Speaker 1: think he almost ran for sixty yards, scored two touchdowns

1682
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 1: five point four per carry. But I didn't think they

1683
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: were very good and they won the game by what

1684
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: at least three scores. But they they've really found something

1685
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. But they've had something all year long

1686
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: that I don't think we're giving him enough credit for.

1687
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 7: I think I know what you're going to say, all right.

1688
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: Well go with an individual, because I'm going with just

1689
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: an overall skill set here or something they shut down.

1690
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 1: Who would you say, George Pickens?

1691
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 7: Oh, I thought you were gonna bring up Mike Tomlin here.

1692
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 1: Oh yes, well this fits right exactly. You've got Mike Tomlin.

1693
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: And what is Mike Tomlin always going to try to do?

1694
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:16,679
Speaker 1: Shut down the opposing teams? He is going now? Numbers wise,

1695
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry still averaged five yards per carry, and the

1696
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 1: Ravens still is a team, averaged six point five yards

1697
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 1: per carry. But it didn't hurt the Steelers too much

1698
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 1: because he only had sixty five yards on thirteen carries.

1699
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: Whenever they played Cleveland, I think what was this? One

1700
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 1: of them was like Chubb's early game back, right.

1701
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, he'd scored two touchdowns and that was like the

1702
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 7: snow Globe game.

1703
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right.

1704
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 7: And the other one was last week, right, yeah, yeah,

1705
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 7: last week? And so they split the Browns won the

1706
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:53,879
Speaker 7: Snowbloat game. Steelers won last.

1707
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:57,800
Speaker 1: Game, but even in that it wasn't because of Nick Chubb.

1708
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 1: In the snow Globe game, he had two touchdowns but

1709
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: only ran.

1710
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 7: For fifty nine yards. He wasn't doing too hot.

1711
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 2: In the Uh oh, I make sure you my number's

1712
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 2: right here.

1713
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:10,599
Speaker 1: Eleven carries for forty eight yards in the twenty seven

1714
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: to fourteen game.

1715
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 2: What just lasts a couple weeks ago.

1716
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, So my point is sure, Saquon Barkley's been incredible

1717
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:19,760
Speaker 1: and he's been a guy that's just been churning out

1718
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 1: one hundred yard games all season long. He's approaching two

1719
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:26,840
Speaker 1: thousand yards. But Pittsburgh has been really good this year

1720
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 1: in slowing down the opposing team's rushing attack. Allah, I

1721
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 1: e as you were saying, Shay, Yeah, got Mike Tomlin

1722
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 1: who just wins football games?

1723
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 7: Right, seriously, because he's a year I think honestly.

1724
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 1: Really could be him or Sean Payton.

1725
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 7: I genuinely think could be him. The turnaround, the two quarterbacks.

1726
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 2: The way they balanced those two quarterbacks.

1727
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 7: Ex Actually, I mean, yeah, they're not first in their division.

1728
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 7: The Ravens are still first in the division, but still

1729
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 7: like the Ravens of Derrick Henry. I mean, come on,

1730
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 7: like what the Steelers are doing with what they have?

1731
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 7: I think it's definitely.

1732
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,439
Speaker 1: You want a wild stat going into this game tonight

1733
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 1: this afternoon, I should say, Russell Wilson has never lost

1734
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 1: to the Steelers. What Russell Wilson as a starting quarterback

1735
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,760
Speaker 1: has never lost to the Eagles. He's gone six and

1736
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 1: zero against them in his career, including one playoff win.

1737
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:21,719
Speaker 1: All those games, by the way, were with the Seahawks,

1738
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:24,480
Speaker 1: so there wasn't like a Denver Bronco win over the

1739
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:25,639
Speaker 1: Eagles in there. Anyway.

1740
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 7: What's the spread, like spread in my mind? Do you

1741
01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 7: see it right now?

1742
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:33,639
Speaker 1: Yeah? It's five and a half. So yeah, the Eagles,

1743
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: by the way, favorite is by five and a half.

1744
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 1: They're home. Eagles are five and one at home this year,

1745
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: eleven and two overall, and Steelers have won five of

1746
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 1: their seven road games this year. So here here's a

1747
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 1: couple of things on this game just to think about. Right,

1748
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 1: can the Eagles win time of possession? Because this this

1749
01:31:55,320 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh plan. Steeler fans, I'll take your bullets if you

1750
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 1: disagree with me, right, I'll go scarface. I can take

1751
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: your bullets. But I feel it's not spectacular how they're winning.

1752
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: It's just death by a thousand paper cuts right where

1753
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 1: they might And with Russell Wilson, they've hit a few

1754
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 1: more big plays. I getting George Pickens involved has been huge,

1755
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,840
Speaker 1: and I think sometimes Russ has been like George is

1756
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 1: down there somewhere and he just throws it up. But

1757
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:27,200
Speaker 1: they have been incredible in getting a lead. It might

1758
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 1: be three zip, it might be six zip, it might

1759
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 1: be nine zip, and they just don't give you the

1760
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 1: football back. They average more than thirty two minutes per

1761
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 1: game with a football. The Eagles average thirty one minutes

1762
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 1: per game. And as far as time of possession, the

1763
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 1: NFL is concerned, that is amongst the best in the league.

1764
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 1: I guess that's that moment where I would say period

1765
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: in a discussion, So a stat that I think sometimes

1766
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: we maybe overvalue a little bit.

1767
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 2: Time of possession.

1768
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 1: I really feel like it's going to play a major

1769
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 1: role in today's game between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. A couple

1770
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:12,320
Speaker 1: of other things to keep an eye on. Will Nick

1771
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Sirianni's been incredible. He has the sixth best winning percentage

1772
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 1: at point seven. Oh three seventy percent, seventy one percent

1773
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: whatever through sixty games, right minimum of sixty games, he

1774
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: has the sixth be winning percentage ever ever. Think about

1775
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,400
Speaker 1: that for a moment. The names ahead of him John Madden,

1776
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 1: Vince Lombardi, George Allen. But yet, for some reason, as

1777
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,719
Speaker 1: great as those numbers are, for Nick Sirianni, I feel

1778
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 1: like sometimes he is the biggest hindrance for the Eagles.

1779
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 1: Bad time management decisions, kind kind of ridiculous fourth down

1780
01:33:57,600 --> 01:33:58,920
Speaker 1: decisions every now and then.

1781
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:01,880
Speaker 2: I just I feel like he.

1782
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 1: I think Kellen Moore has done an incredible job by

1783
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 1: the way, you pull back, and I'm with you, Mike

1784
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 1: Tomlin Coach of the Year conversation, Sean Payton should be

1785
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 1: there coordinator of the year if I don't even think

1786
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:12,760
Speaker 1: the NFL has that, I don't think they have a

1787
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 1: Broils Award. But I think Kellen Moore has done a

1788
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: really nice job in creating this ground and pound attack

1789
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia. But I mean, Eagle fans, it's an incredible

1790
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 1: winning streak. He's done a great job in calumbing the waters.

1791
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:29,720
Speaker 1: But where is your confidence level right now? In Nick Sirianni.

1792
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 7: They were calling for his head earlier in this he's

1793
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 7: been fighting with fans on the side.

1794
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 1: And then I would also add the Eagles cannot turn

1795
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 1: the football over. That is one area where if I

1796
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:47,560
Speaker 1: can you go back to those miserable moments of the

1797
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: early season when the Raiders got smoked by Pittsburgh. The

1798
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,639
Speaker 1: reason he got out of hand they turned the football

1799
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:57,680
Speaker 1: over that period, plain and simple in a discussion. How

1800
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:00,639
Speaker 1: many more times can I say that? And the reason

1801
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,600
Speaker 1: is because the Steelers are very good at forteing takeaways,

1802
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:08,600
Speaker 1: fifteen interceptions, thirteen fumble recoveries. If you want like a

1803
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 1: comparison between what the Steelers have and what the Eagles do.

1804
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,680
Speaker 1: Mentioned fifteen picks thirteen fumble recoveries by the Steelers, the

1805
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: Eagles have eight and seven respectively.

1806
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 2: So it is it is a wild battle of like.

1807
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:28,799
Speaker 1: A strength versus a weakness, and a weakness versus a strength.

1808
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 1: And I guess to some degree there too, strength on strength.

1809
01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 1: What's the strength of the Steelers for his turnovers shut

1810
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,600
Speaker 1: down running the football? What's been the strength of the

1811
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 1: Eagles don't really well, they haven't had too many turnover

1812
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:47,120
Speaker 1: issues and they can run the nam football. So you

1813
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 1: got some strength versus weakness and you have some strength

1814
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 1: on strength. I'm here for it. I feel like it's

1815
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 1: a playoff battle, you know, and it's two teams that

1816
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: would only see each other in the Super Bowl. But

1817
01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:01,400
Speaker 1: I guess you could say fake Pennsylvania State championship.

1818
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun. The Steelers.

1819
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:08,240
Speaker 1: We mentioned the numbers as far as shutting down Nick

1820
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,599
Speaker 1: Chubb and them shutting downs a little bit unfair when

1821
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: he scored two touchdowns, right, Shay, I mean he's still

1822
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 1: scored two touchdown.

1823
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 2: I didn't shut him down.

1824
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 7: Yea, they didn't shut him down.

1825
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: But the Steelers rushing defense is top five in the league.

1826
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: Ninety one point five yards per game is what they allow. Meanwhile,

1827
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley is the league's leading rusher. You got Pittsburgh

1828
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:32,480
Speaker 1: with an offensive line that is young, right, and experienced,

1829
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,839
Speaker 1: and this might be the best interior defensive tackle tandem

1830
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 1: in the league in Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. And

1831
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: let's again, I'll go full circle here before you put

1832
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 1: a rap on this game. If you're Kellen Moore, offensive

1833
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:53,759
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Eagles, you have had so much success

1834
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 1: in what you've developed with the running game, will you

1835
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 1: fill the need, feel feel feel, feel the need to

1836
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 1: try to force feed aj Brown? And if you do,

1837
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 1: will that go against what's become the foundation and the

1838
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:14,000
Speaker 1: identity of this team. The Eagles are last in the

1839
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 1: NFL in pass attempts and thirty first in passing yards.

1840
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:19,800
Speaker 2: But what do they have?

1841
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 1: They have the league's leading rusher. So it'll be very

1842
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: interesting to see what Philadelphia decides to. Do you play

1843
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 1: your receiver, you try to get things going in a

1844
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: positive direction, or do you just go with what works.

1845
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 2: Hey, Pittsburgh is the team right now, Philly fan.

1846
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:42,639
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's the team that when you look at what they've done,

1847
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:45,120
Speaker 1: They're going to force you to throw the football. They're

1848
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to get a hat on a hat,

1849
01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 1: force you to throw the football. And I think this

1850
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 1: is gonna be one hell of a challenge, all right.

1851
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: So if you don't like my Russell Wilson stat, Russell

1852
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 1: Wilson has never lost in the Eagles, here's the other

1853
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:02,800
Speaker 1: side of it, Eagle fans. The Steelers have lost ten

1854
01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 1: straight road games against Philadelphia, dating back to nineteen sixty five.

1855
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 1: It's their longest road losing streak against a single opponent

1856
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 1: in franchise history h R eight seven seven ninety nine

1857
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: on Fox eight seven seven nine ninety six sixty three

1858
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 1: six y nine. We'll dive more in depth than this

1859
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 1: matchup as the night rolls on Plus. I do want

1860
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,880
Speaker 1: to revisit a little bit of the Jalen Hurts AJ

1861
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 1: Brown saga. But it's not the only game in the NFL,

1862
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 1: and it might not be the biggest game in the

1863
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: NFL in my opinion. There's one bigger and we'll talk

1864
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 1: about it next. But first I want to remind you

1865

Speaker 1: that you need to tune in coming up here, can

1885
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 1: us in the final hour. Haven't had a chance to

1886
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:50,639
Speaker 1: get Josh here on the national stage, but he is well.

1887
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 1: He's covering the Raiders unfortunately, but a lot of college

1888
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:55,720
Speaker 1: football to get to one note before we dive all

1889
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 1: in on this matchup between the Bills and the Lines.

1890
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 1: We had a team back out of a bowl game today.

1891
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 1: Now there's a couple of Why's right. Number one, Marshall's

1892
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 1: head coach left to take another job. And when he left, well,

1893
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:15,639
Speaker 1: there were quite a few people that jumped into portal

1894
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:19,959
Speaker 1: with him. In fact, that that number for Marshall players

1895
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:24,640
Speaker 1: in the portal, it's been it's been thrown around, but

1896
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 1: we're talking, we're talking more than half their roster. I mean,

1897
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,679
Speaker 1: it's just it's of guys who wouldn't be able to play,

1898
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 1: and at that point it's not more than half their

1899
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 1: roster in the portal's like thirty. But it's also you're

1900
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 1: you're bringing in a new coach and you don't even

1901
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 1: know who's still going to be around to call plays

1902
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 1: for a bowl game, so.

1903
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 2: They had to.

1904
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech will now slide into the Armed Forces Bowl

1905
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 1: where they will square off with Army, who lost today

1906
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: in the Army Navy game. But I'm honestly, I'm surprised

1907
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,719
Speaker 1: that this hasn't happened more often. I'm surprised this hasn't

1908
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: happened more often, because, you know, you go back to

1909
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 1: last year. I'm old enough to remember whenever Syracuse playing

1910
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 1: in a bowl game and had a freaking tight end

1911
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: playing quarterback for them. It's just it's not it's not

1912
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:26,040
Speaker 1: a coach's fault, it's not Marshall's fault. It's not Army

1913
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 1: or Louisiana Tech's fault. And by the way, Louisiana Tech

1914
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:33,080
Speaker 1: chosen to replace Marshall one of two reasons. Number one,

1915
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 1: they could and number two the proximity to the Independence Bowl.

1916
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,000
Speaker 1: So it's like, right, there in their backyard. So two

1917
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: things work out pretty well. I can imagine those negotiations

1918
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 1: for the Independence Bowl. It's like, listen, we know you

1919
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:48,280
Speaker 1: were five and seven. We want you to come play

1920
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:50,680
Speaker 1: in the bowl game. We don't have a hotel for

1921
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 1: you. You just got to get yourself here. But it'll still

1922
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:58,000
Speaker 1: be fun to watch Army play Louisiana tack. So it's

1923
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 1: not any team's fault. It's the fault of quite possibly

1924
01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 1: the dumbest schedule in the world, in the history of ever,

1925
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 1: in not just sports history, in life and world history.

1926
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,599
Speaker 1: The hell you have free agency going on during your

1927
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:19,600
Speaker 1: playoffs for involving teams that are in said playoffs in

1928
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:22,720
Speaker 1: set bowl games, and I don't know how you fix it.

1929
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,360
Speaker 1: So you want to see then you have another You

1930
01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 1: got another whole issue that's taking place during all of

1931
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:32,800
Speaker 1: this as well, because you have roster limits that you

1932
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 1: need to take into account. Now, I mean, we got

1933
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:39,720
Speaker 1: you got college football teams that are being told you

1934
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: got to tie to your roster up.

1935
01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 11: A lot of.

1936
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 1: Dudes being processed, and if you're not familiar with that term,

1937
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:48,360
Speaker 1: being processed means they're gonna call you into the office

1938
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:50,840
Speaker 1: and you might have a scholarship, you might be a

1939
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 1: walk on, and they're gonna tell you you can't play

1940
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 1: here anymore.

1941
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:56,799
Speaker 2: We don't want you here anymore. Basically, you're cut.

1942
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 1: And it's happening all over college football right now because

1943
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: you have to get your roster to one oh five.

1944
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:08,479
Speaker 1: So there is a lot of player movement that's taking place,

1945
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:12,120
Speaker 1: and some of it maybe would warrant freak outs by

1946
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 1: fan bases. Some would warrant a team backing away from

1947
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 1: a bowl game like Marshall had to. But what this

1948
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:24,559
Speaker 1: warrants more than anything else is somebody, somebody step in

1949
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:27,000
Speaker 1: and say, what are we doing with our schedule college football?

1950
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 1: We got playoff games this week and coming up. I'm

1951
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,639
Speaker 1: so excited for home playoff games. I can't wait. I

1952
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 1: can't wait for Indiana Notre Dame on Friday night. I

1953
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 1: can Notre Dame playing on a Friday night for the

1954
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:43,000
Speaker 1: first time since nineteen hundred. I can't wait to see

1955
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 1: James Franklin try not to wet the bed with SMU

1956
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: coming to town in their high powered offense. I think

1957
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:54,080
Speaker 1: that there is a chance Clemson's going to give Texas

1958
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: everything he can handle. And I'm really over the Moonjack

1959
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:02,360
Speaker 1: through Ohio State Tennessee. But I also know that my

1960
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:04,439
Speaker 1: eye is gonna be on the freaking portal all night long,

1961
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: and that there's gonna be people making decisions as soon

1962
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: as that game's over in masses to leave. We got

1963
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:16,680
Speaker 1: to fix this college football. It's broken. It's a great game,

1964
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 1: it's a great sport. But I saw a couple of

1965
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:21,799
Speaker 1: people fighting about it tonight on social media.

1966
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:23,479
Speaker 2: Oh, it's not really broken.

1967
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 1: No, the player slash roster management process is broken right

1968
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 1: now in college football. There is no job in life

1969
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: that you can go to for a year, have like

1970
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:42,599
Speaker 1: a non binding contract. They can't take your money from you.

1971
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna get paid regardless, and then you get up

1972
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 1: and leave and go somewhere else and probably make more

1973
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:49,759
Speaker 1: money the next year. I mean, it's just it's wild

1974
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: and part of its colleges problem for ignoring this for

1975
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 1: the longest time. And I'm sorry, I'm not trying to

1976
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,840
Speaker 1: get on a bully pullpit here, Shay, but everyone wants

1977
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:00,439
Speaker 1: to like Gallon scream at Marshall or yelling scream at

1978
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 1: the bowl game. No, this is the system, and because

1979
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: it's become so important for colleges to get guys in

1980
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 1: at semester, and because everybody seems to be on a

1981
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 1: different calendar or timeline of across college sports, it's never

1982
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna change. I mean, imagine you're watching an NFL playoff game,

1983
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: just just for a moment, and then all of a sudden,

1984
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:26,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of a playoff game, one of the

1985
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 1: guys leaves the field is like, I'm out here. Well,

1986
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we just saw that happen with the Niners

1987
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 1: the other day. But he is out of here, and

1988
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:36,559
Speaker 1: immediately he's going to go play somewhere else, starting like

1989
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:39,240
Speaker 1: the moment he puts that jersey on. It's just crazy.

1990
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 1: There's really no checks and balances in college sports, and

1991
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: in college football specifically. Revenue sharing is not going to

1992
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:49,639
Speaker 1: fix it all. It's going to be a good step

1993
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 1: in the right direction, but it's not going to fix

1994
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:54,680
Speaker 1: it all. I hate this for the Marshall guys that

1995
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,880
Speaker 1: are sticking around. Marshall, by the way, had a chance

1996
01:45:57,920 --> 01:45:59,679
Speaker 1: to extend their coach and decided not to.

1997
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:01,679
Speaker 2: And only did was win their conference this year.

1998
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 1: It's like, thanks for nothing. Fix Gotta fix the schedule, man.

1999
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:10,479
Speaker 1: College football's got to fix the schedule. All right, it's

2000
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:12,719
Speaker 1: the Bernie Fratto Show. My name is Chris Planks, sitting

2001
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:15,960
Speaker 1: in Welcome in a couple of headlines obviously that we've

2002
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 1: been following tonight. Congratulations to Navy, who got to win

2003
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 1: over Army, first time that they've won that game in

2004
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: a couple of seasons. I was watching, I was in,

2005
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: I was tuned in. I thought it was great. I

2006
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 1: was trying to find my son, I Quinn't he's a

2007
01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 1: cadet at West Point. But I'm always emotional. It's a

2008
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,640
Speaker 1: great day for America and Navy beat him thirty one

2009
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 1: to thirteen. Now Navy goes on to play Oklahoma in

2010
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,800
Speaker 1: the Armed Forces Ball that's December twenty seventh. Army learned

2011
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 1: after the game, of course, it will not be playing

2012
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:48,600
Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech NBA Cup final set on Tuesday. It'll be

2013
01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:53,200
Speaker 1: the Thunder scoring off against the Bucks. I think Milwaukee's

2014
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 1: won eight of their last ten against OKC And Travis

2015
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,679
Speaker 1: Hunter won the Heisman Trophy. We had a big Heisman

2016
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 1: Trophy conversation an hour two so if you missed it,

2017
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was good. We went back and forth.

2018
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:09,439
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy has always been the most outstanding player in

2019
01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: college football. But to me, most outstanding is also most valuable.

2020
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 1: And while it was outstanding that he played both ways,

2021
01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 1: I thought Senor Sanders was more valuable and more outstanding

2022
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 1: and what he did for Colorado. And I'm sorry I

2023
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 1: thought Ashton Genty with my pick. I thought he should

2024
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 1: have won the award. But I got no problem. I

2025
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 1: got no qualms with the win tonight for Travis Hunner,

2026
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:35,560
Speaker 1: well deserved. But if you get an opportunity, check that

2027
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 1: out on the podcast. All right, guys, let's talk a

2028
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:40,880
Speaker 1: little bit about the other big game in the NFL today,

2029
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:43,679
Speaker 1: the other marquee matchup. We went in depth on Eagles,

2030
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:49,000
Speaker 1: Steelers last segment, Bills and the Lions. Now this is

2031
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,559
Speaker 1: interesting because you would probably think, outside of the Chiefs,

2032
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 1: these would be considered two of the favorites to play

2033
01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Right, Some have even set a

2034
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 1: potential super Bowl preview. But I'm sure you know these

2035
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 1: are also two of the twelve teams that have never

2036
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:06,559
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. The Bills were bad defensively last

2037
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 1: week somehow, and the Bills being bad defensively last week,

2038
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:15,120
Speaker 1: it actually bolstered Josh Allen's Heisman chances. They allowed the Rams,

2039
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:18,920
Speaker 1: who last check didn't score a touchdown. On Thursday Night Football,

2040
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,759
Speaker 1: the Bills allowed the Rams to put up forty four points.

2041
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:25,920
Speaker 1: And get this, the Rams were eleven to fifteen on

2042
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:30,759
Speaker 1: third down conversions. Now that's the bad for the Bills.

2043
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:34,719
Speaker 1: The good is they've scored thirty or more points now

2044
01:48:35,240 --> 01:48:39,360
Speaker 1: in seven straight games. I think it's fair to say

2045
01:48:39,400 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 1: that they are they're kind of cooking a little bit.

2046
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was incredible last week, but Detroit has been

2047
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 1: equally as impressive with its offense. Ben Johnson has him cooking.

2048
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 1: They're the number one ranks scoring offense in the NFL.

2049
01:48:57,200 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 1: Detroit is averaging thirty two point one points per game.

2050
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 1: Number two the Buffalo Bills. The sun God has been

2051
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 1: cooking recently. I'm on Rasse Brown, he's up to nine

2052
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the season and the Bills. Both these teams

2053
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 1: have really been set back by injuries. I mean the Lions,

2054
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:20,240
Speaker 1: I got to check their availability report. I haven't seen

2055
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: anything on Josh Pascal or Alan McNeil, but I'll double

2056
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:27,920
Speaker 1: check it. The Bills are getting healthier too, because they're

2057
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:33,840
Speaker 1: getting Keon Coleman back. Reportedly, he hasn't played since November tenth,

2058
01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:38,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know about you, Shay, but as much

2059
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,000
Speaker 1: as the Eagles and the Steelers looks like it's going

2060
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 1: to be a rock fight in a defensive minded game,

2061
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 1: maybe thinking under there, this has all the makings of

2062
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: a shootout coming up in Detroit, doesn't it.

2063
01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:55,760
Speaker 16: He stepped out, Oh, it does seem like to shootout

2064
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 16: peas both offenses from what I can tell their fire,

2065
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 16: they're both you know, powerful, they get the job done.

2066
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 16: They can move the ball through the air, so they're

2067
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 16: both capable. Bon Roger are capable. What Shane News he

2068
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 16: knows we are fired up about this game. Well, when

2069
01:50:14,320 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 16: Doody calls duty calls, I think.

2070
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:20,679
Speaker 1: That there is. I think there's some concern right now

2071
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: with Detroit in the health of its defense, right I

2072
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 1: think there's But I also think, you know, Buffalo is

2073
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 1: really putting a lot on Josh Allen right now, my

2074
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:35,160
Speaker 1: favorite for the MVP, but Kirby Joseph rock Star one

2075
01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 1: of the highest grade the PFF safeties in the league.

2076
01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:41,479
Speaker 1: With what he and Branch have done in that secondary

2077
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:45,120
Speaker 1: has been huge for Detroit this season. Ian Brian Branch,

2078
01:50:46,240 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I feel like, even with

2079
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:52,439
Speaker 1: all the injuries, Detroit's a little bit better defensively than Buffalo.

2080
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a fun game for everything

2081
01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:00,960
Speaker 1: defensive minded that it appears Eagles and Steelers might be

2082
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:04,559
Speaker 1: once you get offensive minded, an absolute shootout. I think

2083
01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 1: coming up between the Bills and the Allions. I was

2084
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:10,360
Speaker 1: looking at the five oh six Sports If you're not

2085
01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:12,880
Speaker 1: familiar with that, it's a website that lets you know

2086
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 1: what games are being showed in what markets. And it

2087
01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting because that at Pittsburgh Philadelphia game,

2088
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:29,840
Speaker 1: it's on Fox and it is, I guess, in competition

2089
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Chargers game for coverage. And

2090
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:36,800
Speaker 1: if you pull up the five oh six sports dot

2091
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:39,800
Speaker 1: com website, it is wild to see how little of

2092
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:42,960
Speaker 1: the country is getting the Buccaneers Chargers game, which is

2093
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:43,759
Speaker 1: a hell of a game.

2094
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:47,280
Speaker 2: In fact, I was kind of surprised by this.

2095
01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:52,000
Speaker 1: Most of the country is getting Pittsburgh and Philadelphia as expected,

2096
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,280
Speaker 1: but yet it's wild. There's the patch right there in

2097
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta that's getting the Bucks Chargers game. Well, is that

2098
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 1: all about the foul want to make sure that Tampa

2099
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 1: Bay doesn't get too far away from him, and in

2100
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:07,479
Speaker 1: that late window, I was honestly shocked to see how

2101
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:12,320
Speaker 1: little of the country is getting Buffalo and Detroit because

2102
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:14,599
Speaker 1: they've got the New England Arizona game, and they've got

2103
01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: Indy Denver. Indy just has that swath of the Mountain

2104
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 1: time zone. Buffalo Detroit's gating the West coast and most

2105
01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 1: of the Midwest, but the northeast is getting New England Arizona.

2106
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 1: The whole state of Arizona's getting it. I just wild

2107
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 1: to see just how much of the country will get

2108
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 1: Philly and Pittsburgh, and how somewhat limited mister unlimited but

2109
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:42,960
Speaker 1: limited when it comes to Buffalo in Detroit. I think

2110
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 1: there's an upset brewing tomorrow, and I think it's in

2111
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 1: the early game. And I'm not just pandering to Shay

2112
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 1: because he's a Lions fan, but I think that clock

2113
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:55,280
Speaker 1: is ticking. I think that clock is ticking. Does it

2114
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:58,640
Speaker 1: finally strike midnight for Kansas City, who's been playing for

2115
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 1: their food too long? I don't know.

2116
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 7: Did you just call my Lions fan?

2117
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I said, Browns fan. Don't worry, Okay, no, no, no.

2118
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,240
Speaker 1: The key here, The key here is I was talking

2119
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:11,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Lions.

2120
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:13,479
Speaker 7: Just wanted to make sure I went.

2121
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 1: I moved on to Chiefs Browns, which is where I

2122
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 1: think an upset is actually going to happen tomorrow. All Right,

2123
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,200
Speaker 1: we'll get to that coming up, Max right here on

2124
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:24,840
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, stick Round. I like this tweet from

2125
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 1: the Russian Kid. I think it's fair. He right, just

2126
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: wanted to throw it out there. Playing without stinking genius.

2127
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 1: It's like peanut butter without jelly. I need to hear

2128
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:38,160
Speaker 1: some Dolphins nonsense. As a Bengals fan, I'm so happy

2129
01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 1: that Jamar and Joe Burrow are tight friends since college days.

2130
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 2: They got to win one together. Happy NFL day, bro.

2131
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of weird doing a show where Number

2132
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:53,240
Speaker 1: one I don't have to worry about someone out of

2133
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:56,439
Speaker 1: nowhere going the Dolphins are going to the super Bowl

2134
01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:01,479
Speaker 1: and reminding you that they're a bigger fan than you

2135
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:02,480
Speaker 1: are constantly.

2136
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 2: I gotta Teyson.

2137
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 1: There are two people by the way, the Russian Kid,

2138
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:09,640
Speaker 1: and it cracks me up that Arnie basically beats us

2139
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:14,840
Speaker 1: up for three hours and when we fire back, I

2140
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: don't know how they time it. This dude last week,

2141
01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm still angry about it. I'm still angry about it

2142
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:21,400
Speaker 1: a week later. I think, Shay, did we talk about

2143
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:22,760
Speaker 1: this on the air? Off the air? I think it

2144
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 1: was off the air right with the guys like you

2145
01:54:25,160 --> 01:54:27,520
Speaker 1: need'd be nice to Arnie. It's unacceptable.

2146
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 7: Yes, are you off the area?

2147
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 1: Okay?

2148
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, are you freaking kidding me?

2149
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:34,520
Speaker 1: We get bullied for two hours and forty five minutes

2150
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 1: and you give it back, and all of a sudden,

2151
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:41,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to white night for Arnie. Come on anyway,

2152
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: Arnie and I'll be back together tomorrow night. All right,

2153
01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 1: later tonight?

2154
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:44,560
Speaker 2: Excuse me?

2155
01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:48,400
Speaker 1: So overnight? Things gotten me thrown off? You bring a

2156
01:54:48,520 --> 01:54:52,640
Speaker 1: Burrow and Chase. That's in relation to the Jalen Hurts

2157
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:55,760
Speaker 1: AJ Brown saga that took place this week that some

2158
01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:57,880
Speaker 1: could say maybe we blew out of proportion a little

2159
01:54:57,880 --> 01:54:59,760
Speaker 1: bit because that's what we do in the old media.

2160
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, you got two guys that really seem to

2161
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:09,080
Speaker 1: enjoy each other's company on the field, and they've had issues, right,

2162
01:55:09,520 --> 01:55:11,760
Speaker 1: but it always seems like when they have issues, you know,

2163
01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 1: it's not with each other.

2164
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 2: I have Joe Burrow.

2165
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:20,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, I guess you could say in this case,

2166
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:25,280
Speaker 1: Jamorrow Chase and a couple of other Bengal receivers. You know,

2167
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 1: their issues don't appear to be with each other. It's

2168
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to spit out. Their issues might be

2169
01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 1: with a contractual situation or with play caller coaching, doesn't

2170
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:36,240
Speaker 1: ever seem to be that their issues are with each other,

2171
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:40,400
Speaker 1: or at the very least if they are. As shape

2172
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:42,520
Speaker 1: put it earlier, it's just a couple of grown assmen

2173
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: having a conversation. That's all.

2174
01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 2: It is a couple of grown men talking.

2175
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:49,840
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of grown men, you don't seem to

2176
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 1: be as in with me, Shay on your Browns potentially

2177
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,840
Speaker 1: pulling it off today in Cleveland, I doubt.

2178
01:55:56,160 --> 01:56:00,240
Speaker 7: I mean, it's what we do. It's doing. Teams play

2179
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:05,520
Speaker 7: against us, good teams especially they played down and for

2180
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 7: some reason Jamis will look like a MVP quarterback and

2181
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:14,640
Speaker 7: not throw those last second interceptions which usually happens against

2182
01:56:14,720 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 7: really really good teams. For some reason, Yeah, I definitely

2183
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:20,360
Speaker 7: could see it happening, because we'll never win the games

2184
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 7: that we're supposed to, but for some reason we'll win it.

2185
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:24,200
Speaker 1: It's enraging, isn't it It?

2186
01:56:24,240 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 2: Really?

2187
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:28,280
Speaker 7: It genuinely is. It's it's extremely frustrating and honestly, again

2188
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 7: I said it, I don't want us to win, but hey,

2189
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 7: if we get to beat I guess the former super

2190
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:35,800
Speaker 7: Bowl champs.

2191
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 1: Like super Bowl champs.

2192
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I take it. I'll take it. I'll take that.

2193
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 7: I'll take a win any day.

2194
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:43,920
Speaker 1: Here's what Patrick Mahomes said about the last few games

2195
01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:44,520
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs.

2196
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 19: I mean, all you can do is focus on the game,

2197
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 19: the practice that you had that day. I'm not trying

2198
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 19: to prepare my body all year long for this stretch.

2199
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 19: That's Taylor and my workouts is Taylor and how you

2200
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 19: practice and you prepare and the coach do a great

2201
01:56:56,440 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 19: job of taking care of us with a practice field.

2202
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 19: I mean, we practice hard as anybody, but they know

2203
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:02,440
Speaker 19: how to kind of dial it back when we need it.

2204
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:05,240
Speaker 19: It's not like a good feeling. I mean, I'm excited

2205
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:08,560
Speaker 19: to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what

2206
01:57:08,600 --> 01:57:10,360
Speaker 19: we did last year. But you never want to play

2207
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:12,280
Speaker 19: this many amount of games and this sort of time.

2208
01:57:12,480 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 19: Not great for your body. But at the end of

2209
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 19: the day, it's your job. Your professional need to come

2210
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 19: to work and do it.

2211
01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 2: So there is.

2212
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:23,560
Speaker 1: There's Patrick Mahomes. Here is a great question that was

2213
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:26,000
Speaker 1: brought up this week. This was on the Pat McAfee show.

2214
01:57:26,280 --> 01:57:29,200
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter was the guest, and this is a question

2215
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:31,040
Speaker 1: I asked myself a lot. And I'm jade because I'm

2216
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:33,760
Speaker 1: a Raiders guy, so some people would say have a

2217
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:37,040
Speaker 1: hard time being objective towards the Chiefs. The question was,

2218
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 1: do we marvel at what the Chiefs are doing right

2219
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:42,360
Speaker 1: now or do we think that at any moment this

2220
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:43,400
Speaker 1: is going to crumble a bit.

2221
01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 2: Here's what Adam Schefter said.

2222
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:48,760
Speaker 8: I think it's incredible time that the Kansas City Chiefs

2223
01:57:49,880 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 8: have won the last two Super Bowls. They've won nine

2224
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 8: straight division championships, nine straight afcus, and yet we are

2225
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:04,160
Speaker 8: continuely questioning whether they can get it done. They have

2226
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 8: one of the greatest coaches of all time, they have

2227
01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:08,640
Speaker 8: one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, they have

2228
01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 8: one of the greatest tight ends of all time. They

2229
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 8: have one of the greatest defensive linemen of all time,

2230
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 8: a future Hall of Famer in Chris Jones. And yet

2231
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:17,160
Speaker 8: people continue to question the Chiefs. But let me tell

2232
01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 8: you why they do. And I stumbled across some of

2233
01:58:19,680 --> 01:58:23,280
Speaker 8: these stats last night in a betting packet that ESPN

2234
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:25,920
Speaker 8: sends out with some betting information. Do you realize this

2235
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:29,040
Speaker 8: season that the Kansas City Chiefs in their past seven

2236
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 8: games are and seven against the spread?

2237
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 2: Oh and seven against the spread?

2238
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 8: No team ever has gone on to win the Super

2239
01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 8: Bowl in the same season it had a six game against.

2240
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:44,280
Speaker 2: The spread losing streak.

2241
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 8: The Chiefs have won eight straight games this season in

2242
01:58:47,440 --> 01:58:50,280
Speaker 8: which they did not cover the spread, tied for the

2243
01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:53,960
Speaker 8: most of a single season since the nineteen seventy merger.

2244
01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:58,320
Speaker 8: And I will say this, for almost sixteen years I

2245
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:01,400
Speaker 8: covered the Denver Broncos, and there are any number of

2246
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 8: games in years in which they were down and out

2247
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 8: and then in the final two minutes John Elwick came

2248
01:59:09,120 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 8: along and rallied into victory against all odds. It happened

2249
01:59:13,360 --> 01:59:19,000
Speaker 8: time and time again. It happened almost regularly. And it

2250
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:22,720
Speaker 8: is almost the same thing with Patrick Mahomes. You may

2251
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 8: think you have him beaten. He may not be capable

2252
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 8: of covering against the spread. They may be down to

2253
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:32,240
Speaker 8: their last breath, but until that breath is taken, they

2254
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 8: are not done. They are the champs. They have won

2255
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:39,200
Speaker 8: two straight Super Bowls. They have won nine straight division titles.

2256
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 8: They are in first place in the A and C

2257
01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:44,400
Speaker 8: currently holding the number one seed with a twelve to

2258
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:45,040
Speaker 8: one record.

2259
01:59:45,320 --> 01:59:46,880
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, they're vulnerable.

2260
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:49,040
Speaker 1: Yes you could beat them, but somebody still has to

2261
01:59:49,080 --> 01:59:51,560
Speaker 1: go do it, and they have it not in a while.

2262
01:59:52,560 --> 01:59:54,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City is so damn good. But yet they're like

2263
01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:58,480
Speaker 1: rope adop in us right now. They're rope Adopus right now.

2264
01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 1: I've seen this movie before, but I think Cleveland's gonna

2265
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:03,720
Speaker 1: get him. We'll go more in depth and next right

2266
02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:08,160
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio into the Bonus Hour. Here

2280
02:00:53,960 --> 02:00:56,720
Speaker 1: which is a fascinating game, and then quite a bit

2281
02:00:56,720 --> 02:00:59,680
Speaker 1: of Detroit Buffalo, which I never do.

2282

02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Helmer is going to join us here. In our next segment.

2290
02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 1: We're going to preview the NFL week and ahead, and

2291
02:01:21,240 --> 02:01:23,200
Speaker 1: we've got a lot still to get to for the league,

2292
02:01:23,200 --> 02:01:26,960
Speaker 1: including the future at the quarterback position at several different places.

2293
02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:30,280
Speaker 1: But I was thinking about this, Shay. I never make picks,

2294
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:33,640
Speaker 1: never do. I leave it to Arnie. It's like his thing.

2295
02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, on a Sunday morning, Week fifteen of the NFL,

2296
02:01:39,040 --> 02:01:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, wait, might I even say it?

2297
02:01:42,280 --> 02:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I gotta do some picks, right, yeah.

2298
02:01:44,040 --> 02:01:48,480
Speaker 7: I think you have to. It's Week fifteen playoffs. Just

2299
02:01:48,520 --> 02:01:49,480
Speaker 7: started in fantasy.

2300
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:52,480
Speaker 1: It triggers me so much.

2301
02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:54,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm only in the one.

2302
02:01:54,120 --> 02:01:57,080
Speaker 1: This was my worst year of fantasy football ever. I

2303
02:01:58,120 --> 02:01:58,640
Speaker 1: was terrible.

2304
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 7: I was horrible, and one lead league and then another league.

2305
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:03,120
Speaker 7: I was great, but I didn't make playoffs.

2306
02:02:03,320 --> 02:02:04,760
Speaker 1: And I hate to be that guy because I know

2307
02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:07,440
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear about your fantasy team, but I'm

2308
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna tell you so many guys that were supposed to

2309
02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: be studs just absolutely cratered this year. I don't know

2310
02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:17,520
Speaker 1: if we've ever had a year like it outside of

2311
02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:20,360
Speaker 1: the year when Peyton Manning after the draft had the

2312
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:22,320
Speaker 1: next surgery and then was gonna miss the whole season

2313
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:22,960
Speaker 1: for the Colts.

2314
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:26,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just a nightmare.

2315
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:29,600
Speaker 1: CMC, who was probably the number CHRISI McCaffrey number one

2316
02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 1: picking a lot of leagues, hasn't even hard league stepped

2317
02:02:33,080 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: on the field this year. Garbage And the person who

2318
02:02:37,560 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 1: wrote it and diagnosed it is garbage. I mean, I

2319
02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:45,600
Speaker 1: really Tyreek Hill, I bought so much stock in him

2320
02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:47,120
Speaker 1: this year's Shay so.

2321
02:02:47,240 --> 02:02:49,400
Speaker 7: Much same here. I had him in two leagues.

2322
02:02:50,600 --> 02:02:53,640
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, by the way, kudos to Cooper Cup for

2323
02:02:53,640 --> 02:02:55,840
Speaker 1: helping making an impact for those people that started him

2324
02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:58,440
Speaker 1: in their first game. What a big, fat and goose egg.

2325
02:02:58,440 --> 02:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Do you know that?

2326
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:02,280
Speaker 7: Ownuts? Good for him?

2327
02:03:03,680 --> 02:03:06,200
Speaker 1: But as down as I am on on fantasy and

2328
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, I can be up on giving you the

2329
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:13,760
Speaker 1: plank parlay before we get out of here. So that'll

2330
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:17,440
Speaker 1: be my ode to Arnie's picks. I've got three player

2331
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:21,920
Speaker 1: props and I got three games. I can't. I can't

2332
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:24,640
Speaker 1: get you on board with my Brown's upsetting the Chiefs.

2333
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Come on, Shay, jump on the train.

2334
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:30,560
Speaker 7: I I'm betting on it. I have to. You said it,

2335
02:03:30,640 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 7: and now I'm If I don't do it, I'm in

2336
02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:35,800
Speaker 7: my Browns fan even so I'm on it. And by

2337
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:38,200
Speaker 7: the way, the plank parlay, that's a great name. We're

2338
02:03:38,200 --> 02:03:38,960
Speaker 7: gonna pla like parlay.

2339
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I've got a few now if it's if Bernie, If

2340
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Bernie ever takes any more time off right and I

2341
02:03:43,880 --> 02:03:47,280
Speaker 1: need to fill in, we'll have a caller related segment

2342
02:03:47,360 --> 02:03:50,560
Speaker 1: called fill in the plank. Oh yeah, yeah, we got

2343
02:03:50,600 --> 02:03:54,800
Speaker 1: that coming up. What the plank and walk the plank.

2344
02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:56,680
Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot of things. Yeah, well, you

2345
02:03:56,800 --> 02:03:58,840
Speaker 1: do a lot of things with it. I've worked with

2346
02:03:58,880 --> 02:04:01,200
Speaker 1: some creative producers in the past, so we'll be good

2347
02:04:01,200 --> 02:04:04,480
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, well, just we'll pick well, what's it

2348
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:06,960
Speaker 1: called dovetail off? That piggyback off? That all we want?

2349
02:04:08,160 --> 02:04:09,640
Speaker 1: I think the Sega mentioned it. But a couple of

2350
02:04:09,640 --> 02:04:12,000
Speaker 1: other quick scores before we get to the guts of

2351
02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:15,240
Speaker 1: this hour. Bucks beat the Hawks one ten one O two.

2352
02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:18,520
Speaker 1: Thunderbeat the Houston Rockets won eleven ninety six. The NBA

2353
02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:21,760
Speaker 1: NBA Cup Finals are set Tuesday night. It'll be Milwaukee

2354
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:25,680
Speaker 1: versus ok See. Navy upset Army thirty one to thirteen.

2355
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Blake Corvat three hundred and eleven total yards, four touchdowns,

2356
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:33,160
Speaker 1: first win for Navy over Army in the last three

2357
02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:36,040
Speaker 1: years college football. Oh, here's my numbers that I was

2358
02:04:36,040 --> 02:04:39,640
Speaker 1: looking for earlier. Marshall has opted out of the bowl game.

2359
02:04:40,040 --> 02:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech is in at the Independence Bowl, the Radiance

2360
02:04:43,720 --> 02:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Technology Independence Bowl December twenty eighth. Marshall has thirty six

2361
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:52,000
Speaker 1: players currently in the portal thirty six now, twenty nine

2362
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 1: of those are scholarship And remember we're in a fight

2363
02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:57,760
Speaker 1: to get our rosters down, so there is a lot,

2364
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:01,840
Speaker 1: probably more players that have been processed than we've ever seen.

2365
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:06,200
Speaker 1: This offseason in college football, Miller Moss committed to Louisville.

2366
02:05:06,520 --> 02:05:09,560
Speaker 1: The former USC quarterback will play for Jeff Brown next year.

2367
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:12,800
Speaker 1: College troops, good night, Tennessee, you wanted the buzzer over Illinois.

2368
02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I think I've well. I think I got that final

2369
02:05:15,040 --> 02:05:18,080
Speaker 1: call here. That was a heck of a finish Illinois,

2370
02:05:18,120 --> 02:05:20,480
Speaker 1: and Illinois is gonna be really good by the end

2371
02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 1: of the year. They're gonna be one of those teams

2372
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:23,120
Speaker 1: that you look up and you got going a long

2373
02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:25,280
Speaker 1: way in your bracket and like, how did that happen?

2374
02:05:25,560 --> 02:05:30,760
Speaker 1: But they're really good, but Tennessee might be better. Tennessee's

2375
02:05:30,760 --> 02:05:32,840
Speaker 1: currently the number one team in the country, and they

2376
02:05:32,840 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: got it done. I don't have the call.

2377
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:36,120
Speaker 2: Final score sixty six to sixty four.

2378
02:05:36,480 --> 02:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Kentucky beat Louisville in the re I guess you could

2379
02:05:40,120 --> 02:05:45,080
Speaker 1: say kindling of that rivalry. Bedlam happened tonight for Oklahoma

2380
02:05:45,120 --> 02:05:49,080
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma State. The Sooners smoked the Cowboys and UCLA

2381
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:52,880
Speaker 1: rallied to beat Arizona fifty seven to fifty four and

2382
02:05:52,880 --> 02:05:55,400
Speaker 1: two quick NFL notes Max Crosby out for the year.

2383
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:59,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys cornerback Trayvon Digson I had written down out for

2384
02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:01,600
Speaker 1: the year, but I think they might be looking at

2385
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:04,080
Speaker 1: him in a week to week basis. So can I

2386
02:06:04,080 --> 02:06:05,880
Speaker 1: play catch up on something here real quick? And you

2387
02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:08,520
Speaker 1: won't judge me because I want to talk about the

2388
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:09,800
Speaker 1: drama with Philly this week?

2389
02:06:10,440 --> 02:06:13,000
Speaker 2: Is Are you done with that? Is it okay?

2390
02:06:13,040 --> 02:06:16,839
Speaker 1: If I just hear kind of the reasons, the reasoning

2391
02:06:16,840 --> 02:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and the whys behind it, don't judge me, Shay. So

2392
02:06:20,480 --> 02:06:25,400
Speaker 1: here we go. Last week, after the Philadelphia Eagles won

2393
02:06:26,360 --> 02:06:31,000
Speaker 1: in less than convincing fashion, there was a postgame interview

2394
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:34,640
Speaker 1: with AJ Brown when they asked him what's wrong with

2395
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:37,800
Speaker 1: the offense and his response was passing.

2396
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:41,720
Speaker 2: He was not happy. In fact, here.

2397
02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:46,040
Speaker 1: It's not the best audio in the world, but you'll

2398
02:06:46,040 --> 02:06:46,920
Speaker 1: get the gist of it.

2399
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:49,160
Speaker 20: What are some things you think they need to get

2400
02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:52,120
Speaker 20: that the offense needs to improve on back passing?

2401
02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:54,520
Speaker 11: Hey, Jay, I know everybody wants.

2402
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 12: To get in the room colon Davia's technology.

2403
02:06:56,800 --> 02:06:59,040
Speaker 7: You know, receivers, just like running backs, whant to get

2404
02:06:59,040 --> 02:06:59,440
Speaker 7: into rid of me.

2405
02:06:59,480 --> 02:07:01,360
Speaker 1: No heart is there's a receiver to get into.

2406
02:07:01,200 --> 02:07:03,560
Speaker 21: A rhythm when you guys are only feeling about twenty

2407
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:04,760
Speaker 21: times incredibly.

2408
02:07:05,600 --> 02:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll spare you you are at it passing why

2409
02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:14,560
Speaker 1: the offense is kind of struggling and then very difficult

2410
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: to get into a rhythm. Now, this seemed to just

2411
02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:20,840
Speaker 1: kind of percolate for a little bit. Yeah, nothing really

2412
02:07:20,920 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 1: too crazy. Jalen Hurts did the Jalen Hurts thing after

2413
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the game. My man is calm, cool and collected, talked

2414
02:07:27,400 --> 02:07:31,360
Speaker 1: about coffee beans, talked about rat poison, and talked about

2415
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:33,080
Speaker 1: everybody wanting the football and.

2416
02:07:33,200 --> 02:07:36,840
Speaker 9: About solving anything. Everybody has a reason to want more,

2417
02:07:36,960 --> 02:07:39,240
Speaker 9: you know, it's a fair desire of being in food

2418
02:07:39,240 --> 02:07:41,320
Speaker 9: and as to what we can be because we've done it,

2419
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:44,040
Speaker 9: just got to build, got to progress, have to find

2420
02:07:44,040 --> 02:07:45,880
Speaker 9: a way to come together and come and sink as

2421
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:47,400
Speaker 9: a unit and play complimentary ball.

2422
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:49,960
Speaker 1: All right. So that's where we left it on Sunday

2423
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:53,040
Speaker 1: after the win over Carolina. Right, Hey see, if these

2424
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:55,280
Speaker 1: grown men can work it out. I didn't even think

2425
02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:57,560
Speaker 1: much of it. In fact, I was looking back at

2426
02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:01,280
Speaker 1: my notes from a Sunday night show and Arnie kind

2427
02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:03,160
Speaker 1: of dismissed it. I kind of dismissed it. It was

2428
02:08:03,240 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 1: just a you know, grown men, they'll figure it out.

2429
02:08:06,840 --> 02:08:09,920
Speaker 1: And then during his radio show this week, Brandon Graham

2430
02:08:10,480 --> 02:08:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of took it to another level.

2431
02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:14,160
Speaker 5: I don't know the whole story, but I know that

2432
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:18,280
Speaker 5: one is trying and I mean, I Levin could be

2433
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:21,120
Speaker 5: a little better with how he respond to things.

2434
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:23,080
Speaker 1: And I know I don't have to clarify this, but

2435
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm just going to because it can be a little

2436
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:29,360
Speaker 1: bit confusing, confusing when Brandon Graham says, you know, one

2437
02:08:29,480 --> 02:08:32,840
Speaker 1: is better, he's talking about Jalen Hurts, right one, the

2438
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:35,200
Speaker 1: number one? Was that necessary?

2439
02:08:35,400 --> 02:08:35,760
Speaker 10: Maybe not?

2440
02:08:36,200 --> 02:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Anyway, here's the rest of it, and they were.

2441
02:08:38,360 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 2: Friends before this.

2442
02:08:39,520 --> 02:08:41,440
Speaker 1: He's like, man, but things have changed.

2443
02:08:41,440 --> 02:08:45,320
Speaker 5: And I understand that because life happens. But it's the

2444
02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:47,680
Speaker 5: business side that we have to make sure that we

2445
02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:50,360
Speaker 5: don't let the personal get in the way of the business.

2446
02:08:50,400 --> 02:08:53,240
Speaker 5: And that's what we got to do better as right now,

2447
02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:57,960
Speaker 5: because we know it's an issue everybody's seen with some things.

2448
02:08:58,360 --> 02:09:01,520
Speaker 5: But we need to, Yeah, but to talk talk things

2449
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:04,120
Speaker 5: out as men, you know what I'm saying. But we

2450
02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:07,200
Speaker 5: need to let personal stuff go and let's get right

2451
02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:09,600
Speaker 5: for this game. Because man, it's like a lot of stuff.

2452
02:09:09,760 --> 02:09:11,440
Speaker 5: Most of the time, it's just a conversation that you

2453
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:13,320
Speaker 5: just need to be had. But the person with the

2454
02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:15,600
Speaker 5: problem got to want to talk to the person other

2455
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:16,200
Speaker 5: than others.

2456
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:19,720
Speaker 1: Oh, that's all I'm saying. So I brought this up

2457
02:09:19,800 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 1: last night, absolutely nobody was on my side. So I'm

2458
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:25,880
Speaker 1: going to try one more time, Shay again. I know

2459
02:09:25,960 --> 02:09:29,600
Speaker 1: you're over this. I get it. Mark's over it too,

2460
02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:31,440
Speaker 1: because he had to hear me talk about it last night.

2461
02:09:32,320 --> 02:09:37,680
Speaker 1: But whenever you hear somebody that's a teammate say that, like,

2462
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how personal you can get about not

2463
02:09:40,880 --> 02:09:43,800
Speaker 1: getting the football unless there's some sort of financial incentive

2464
02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:47,040
Speaker 1: attached that aj Brown feels like he's not going to

2465
02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:50,400
Speaker 1: meet When you start talking about personal, I mean that

2466
02:09:51,360 --> 02:09:54,160
Speaker 1: that seems like something way beyond football that's a problem here.

2467
02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:57,440
Speaker 1: So am I reading too much into this When I

2468
02:09:57,560 --> 02:10:01,200
Speaker 1: say something like, hey, you can say give me the football,

2469
02:10:01,280 --> 02:10:03,120
Speaker 1: you can say passing and all this. But when you

2470
02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:04,800
Speaker 1: have a teammates say they used to be good and

2471
02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:08,240
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be getting personal, I mean that leads

2472
02:10:08,240 --> 02:10:10,360
Speaker 1: me to believe something else is deeper going on here.

2473
02:10:12,760 --> 02:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Could be wrong, but I'll tell you what, I'm an

2474
02:10:16,640 --> 02:10:20,760
Speaker 1: absolute firm believer that a locker room can figure it out.

2475
02:10:22,640 --> 02:10:23,520
Speaker 2: Did they figure it out?

2476
02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:27,320
Speaker 1: This week. Here's what their head coach said, Nick Sirianni

2477
02:10:27,640 --> 02:10:31,200
Speaker 1: on AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts working to get better together.

2478
02:10:32,120 --> 02:10:34,160
Speaker 22: Let's just talk about Jalen and Age. I see them

2479
02:10:34,240 --> 02:10:36,600
Speaker 22: working to get better. I see them working to get

2480
02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:40,360
Speaker 22: better together. I know there was assumptions of things, and

2481
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,080
Speaker 22: we get how that goes. But I can only go

2482
02:10:43,320 --> 02:10:46,760
Speaker 22: on my personal experience of how these guys interact every

2483
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:49,320
Speaker 22: single day. And these guys are so locked in and

2484
02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:52,480
Speaker 22: focused to getting better and getting better together. So they're

2485
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:55,240
Speaker 22: on the same page to go and accomplish the things

2486
02:10:55,280 --> 02:10:58,160
Speaker 22: we want to accomplish. And I witness that every single day.

2487
02:10:58,320 --> 02:11:02,400
Speaker 1: All right, So Nick Sirianni talking about Jalen and Aj.

2488
02:11:03,360 --> 02:11:08,600
Speaker 1: That seems good. Then you had Aj Brown give this,

2489
02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:11,760
Speaker 1: I guess you could say statement this week. BG is

2490
02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:13,280
Speaker 1: just being BG is emotional.

2491
02:11:13,560 --> 02:11:15,880
Speaker 7: In that case, he's just misspoke. You know, a man,

2492
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:17,920
Speaker 7: Jayleen good. Everybody loves BG.

2493
02:11:18,520 --> 02:11:19,680
Speaker 1: You know he's speaking from the heart.

2494
02:11:19,920 --> 02:11:22,560
Speaker 7: You know, he's just giving this perception.

2495
02:11:22,320 --> 02:11:24,680
Speaker 1: To something on the outside. All right, So there you go,

2496
02:11:25,720 --> 02:11:29,520
Speaker 1: there is Aj Brown saying BG, Brandon Graham, We're good.

2497
02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:33,120
Speaker 1: It's fine. He's speaking from the heart. He wants to

2498
02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:37,080
Speaker 1: win Jalen Hurts and I are good. Are you buying

2499
02:11:37,160 --> 02:11:38,600
Speaker 1: that side of it and that they got over it

2500
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:41,680
Speaker 1: or that there's something deeper one other angle on this.

2501
02:11:41,800 --> 02:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Here's what Donovan McNabb, Eagles legend, had to say whenever

2502
02:11:44,800 --> 02:11:45,960
Speaker 1: he was asked about it this week.

2503
02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:49,120
Speaker 11: Look, man, it's too grown men. It's too grown men.

2504
02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:51,920
Speaker 11: If you got an issue, you come to me. Let's

2505
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:54,520
Speaker 11: not go through a media. And so if you got

2506
02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:56,720
Speaker 11: to issue, this conversation needs to be had.

2507
02:11:56,760 --> 02:11:58,760
Speaker 12: Betweme, me and you and Mint we had.

2508
02:11:58,680 --> 02:12:02,120
Speaker 11: That conversation with the play, but let's not go through

2509
02:12:02,120 --> 02:12:04,120
Speaker 11: the media because it now it blows up and then

2510
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:05,400
Speaker 11: now all of a sudden you put it in the

2511
02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:08,280
Speaker 11: microphone back in his mouth, and then all of a sudden,

2512
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:10,160
Speaker 11: now it because well I didn't mean it that way,

2513
02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:12,280
Speaker 11: and I you know, I was saying this, and you

2514
02:12:12,360 --> 02:12:15,480
Speaker 11: know because now what you said is out there in

2515
02:12:15,560 --> 02:12:18,280
Speaker 11: front of everybody. So now either you're going to back

2516
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:24,240
Speaker 11: your statement and make situations worse, or you're gonna now correct.

2517
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:25,320
Speaker 3: It and say this is what I meant.

2518
02:12:26,160 --> 02:12:28,520
Speaker 11: And then even though that you may say it that way,

2519
02:12:28,640 --> 02:12:32,080
Speaker 11: it's still gonna make the situation look worse. Yeah, Now,

2520
02:12:32,160 --> 02:12:34,720
Speaker 11: if there was an issue, yes, let's have that conversation. Hey,

2521
02:12:34,840 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 11: receiving a quarterback. We can have a grown that conversation,

2522
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:40,360
Speaker 11: and then we can have that conversation with the coordinator

2523
02:12:41,040 --> 02:12:41,840
Speaker 11: or the head coach.

2524
02:12:43,240 --> 02:12:44,480
Speaker 2: That's where I was taking one.

2525
02:12:45,120 --> 02:12:48,880
Speaker 1: I had taken aback on this, and that's why that's

2526
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:51,800
Speaker 1: why I just I don't know, Shaye, help me out,

2527
02:12:52,120 --> 02:12:54,080
Speaker 1: let me know if I'm wrong. That's where I thought

2528
02:12:54,120 --> 02:12:56,440
Speaker 1: for a while there might be something deeper than football here,

2529
02:12:57,280 --> 02:12:58,800
Speaker 1: But I guess in the end there really isn't. It

2530
02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:03,120
Speaker 1: was just postgame frustrating, and when you compounded with Brandon

2531
02:13:03,160 --> 02:13:06,960
Speaker 1: Graham's radio show, it just adds fuel to probably something

2532
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,840
Speaker 1: that really wasn't that big of a fire.

2533
02:13:10,120 --> 02:13:13,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's he came in because exactly, he

2534
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:16,040
Speaker 7: just added field to the fire. And I think he

2535
02:13:16,160 --> 02:13:17,880
Speaker 7: was like, oh, this is a good time for me

2536
02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:21,240
Speaker 7: to maybe show that this is my media side. I

2537
02:13:21,320 --> 02:13:23,280
Speaker 7: could also talk like this, and he did a good

2538
02:13:23,360 --> 02:13:25,720
Speaker 7: job of that exactly, And he did do a good

2539
02:13:25,800 --> 02:13:27,240
Speaker 7: job of it. A lot of people were clicking it

2540
02:13:27,640 --> 02:13:30,040
Speaker 7: and we ate it like it was a bag of

2541
02:13:30,120 --> 02:13:33,840
Speaker 7: French fries. But I again, what I was saying is

2542
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:37,440
Speaker 7: is basically, Yeah, it's just it got overblown. I'm sure

2543
02:13:37,520 --> 02:13:41,000
Speaker 7: he regretted, saying Aj Brown regretted saying passing. I mean,

2544
02:13:41,120 --> 02:13:44,080
Speaker 7: I don't even think he meant like Jalen hurts his passing,

2545
02:13:44,200 --> 02:13:45,560
Speaker 7: just like as a team, we need to get better

2546
02:13:45,600 --> 02:13:48,400
Speaker 7: at passing or maybe pass more. Like I don't think

2547
02:13:48,440 --> 02:13:50,720
Speaker 7: he even was going at Jalen Hurt, as Huger.

2548
02:13:50,480 --> 02:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Saying, in other words, it might have been more of

2549
02:13:52,520 --> 02:13:54,840
Speaker 1: the design than it was the execution. So when he's

2550
02:13:54,920 --> 02:13:56,600
Speaker 1: like passing, it's like, we got to pass the ball

2551
02:13:56,680 --> 02:13:57,560
Speaker 1: more exactly.

2552
02:13:57,680 --> 02:14:00,120
Speaker 7: And it's like and he Jalen Hurts just happens to

2553
02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:03,480
Speaker 7: be the quarterback, you know what I mean. And yeah,

2554
02:14:03,560 --> 02:14:05,800
Speaker 7: I don't think there was anything there, just like ever,

2555
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:07,800
Speaker 7: it's just like looking over it, I was like, oh,

2556
02:14:07,840 --> 02:14:09,720
Speaker 7: this is just something that got like blown over way

2557
02:14:09,760 --> 02:14:10,360
Speaker 7: too much, you know.

2558
02:14:10,520 --> 02:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm stupid about it for some reason. No, it's fine.

2559
02:14:14,320 --> 02:14:18,360
Speaker 1: All here's where the deep issues should be. If it's

2560
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:22,800
Speaker 1: not Jalen and AJ's relationship, it's got to be the

2561
02:14:22,880 --> 02:14:25,640
Speaker 1: fact that the Eagles just haven't asked Jalen to push

2562
02:14:25,680 --> 02:14:27,920
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. I still think this stat

2563
02:14:28,040 --> 02:14:33,400
Speaker 1: seems fake, but he has attempted just two passes of

2564
02:14:33,600 --> 02:14:37,800
Speaker 1: twenty plus air yards in his last four games. That's

2565
02:14:37,880 --> 02:14:42,360
Speaker 1: the fewest of thirty quarterbacks who have thrown at least

2566
02:14:42,520 --> 02:14:44,040
Speaker 1: fifty passes during that span.

2567
02:14:44,880 --> 02:14:45,800
Speaker 2: It's a lot of numbers.

2568
02:14:46,320 --> 02:14:48,640
Speaker 1: I guess. The point is they're not pushing the ball

2569
02:14:48,680 --> 02:14:52,720
Speaker 1: down the field, and the Eagles offense is averaging its

2570
02:14:52,760 --> 02:14:57,600
Speaker 1: fewest pass attempts per game since nineteen seventy eight. And

2571
02:14:57,720 --> 02:14:59,000
Speaker 1: to kind of give you an idea on a little

2572
02:14:59,040 --> 02:15:02,200
Speaker 1: perspective on how things have shifted, if you look back

2573
02:15:02,480 --> 02:15:05,600
Speaker 1: to weeks one through ten, that air yard stat that

2574
02:15:05,640 --> 02:15:08,960
Speaker 1: I gave you, where you'd attempted just two of them, Well,

2575
02:15:09,120 --> 02:15:12,120
Speaker 1: in the first ten games of the season, he'd attempted

2576
02:15:12,240 --> 02:15:14,840
Speaker 1: thirty one, which was right in middle of the pack,

2577
02:15:14,880 --> 02:15:19,160
Speaker 1: about fifteenth amongst quarterbacks the two, as we brought up

2578
02:15:19,280 --> 02:15:23,400
Speaker 1: his DFL, the fewest of any of the thirty quarterbacks

2579
02:15:23,440 --> 02:15:26,720
Speaker 1: that have attempted as many passes as Jalen Hurts fifty

2580
02:15:26,800 --> 02:15:30,760
Speaker 1: or more. So it doesn't necessarily have to be are

2581
02:15:30,800 --> 02:15:31,360
Speaker 1: they friends?

2582
02:15:32,320 --> 02:15:32,480
Speaker 11: Right?

2583
02:15:32,960 --> 02:15:35,000
Speaker 2: Can aj Brown and Jalen Hurts coexist?

2584
02:15:35,080 --> 02:15:35,200
Speaker 22: Now?

2585
02:15:35,520 --> 02:15:37,840
Speaker 1: It might be a deeper issue, like, in other words,

2586
02:15:38,480 --> 02:15:42,880
Speaker 1: is there something really wrong with Eagles passing attack and

2587
02:15:43,080 --> 02:15:45,160
Speaker 1: can it be fixed in time to make a run? Oh,

2588
02:15:45,280 --> 02:15:48,400
Speaker 1: by the way, very chiefs ask they're doing all this

2589
02:15:48,560 --> 02:15:51,840
Speaker 1: in the midst of winning nine straight games, so yeah,

2590
02:15:52,440 --> 02:15:54,680
Speaker 1: it's rough. Hey, before we break, I want to I

2591
02:15:54,720 --> 02:15:56,560
Speaker 1: want to shoehorn this sin. Josh Helmer is going to

2592
02:15:56,640 --> 02:15:59,360
Speaker 1: join us next A guess that's right at four am

2593
02:15:59,480 --> 02:16:02,720
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, let's go. Last night on the show.

2594
02:16:04,160 --> 02:16:06,720
Speaker 1: This may be paying off a twenty four hour tease,

2595
02:16:07,360 --> 02:16:10,600
Speaker 1: but last night on the show, I was intrigued by

2596
02:16:11,320 --> 02:16:13,360
Speaker 1: I guess it was a piece of sound that made

2597
02:16:13,360 --> 02:16:16,840
Speaker 1: it into our archives and it was Roger Cadell, and

2598
02:16:17,080 --> 02:16:19,160
Speaker 1: I got to be I don't know where this was from,

2599
02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:23,920
Speaker 1: but the idea of the eighteen game schedule, which I

2600
02:16:23,960 --> 02:16:27,000
Speaker 1: think is something that we'll continue to ask about over

2601
02:16:27,040 --> 02:16:32,000
Speaker 1: the next whenever, because I think everyone feels like it's anevitability. Wow,

2602
02:16:32,080 --> 02:16:35,520
Speaker 1: that's a hard word to say. It's inevitability in the NFL.

2603
02:16:35,920 --> 02:16:39,560
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell though, this week, when thinking about the future

2604
02:16:39,600 --> 02:16:42,360
Speaker 1: in an eighteen game schedule set, hold up here, not

2605
02:16:42,520 --> 02:16:43,000
Speaker 1: so fast.

2606
02:16:43,160 --> 02:16:46,200
Speaker 20: We are doing analysis, I would say, but we are

2607
02:16:46,280 --> 02:16:49,600
Speaker 20: not formalizing any plans at this point. We want to

2608
02:16:49,600 --> 02:16:51,760
Speaker 20: make sure that when we do sit down with the union,

2609
02:16:52,080 --> 02:16:55,800
Speaker 20: we can share that analysis, talk about it, talk about

2610
02:16:55,840 --> 02:16:59,400
Speaker 20: ways to address certain aspects of that, so that we

2611
02:16:59,520 --> 02:17:02,119
Speaker 20: do it upper way. I think, you know, we learned

2612
02:17:02,160 --> 02:17:04,440
Speaker 20: something when we went from sixteen to seventeen. If we

2613
02:17:04,520 --> 02:17:06,240
Speaker 20: do go to eighteen, I'm sure we'll learn something. But

2614
02:17:06,320 --> 02:17:08,800
Speaker 20: hopefully some of the learnings from the last time will

2615
02:17:08,840 --> 02:17:09,200
Speaker 20: help us.

2616
02:17:10,360 --> 02:17:12,560
Speaker 1: Some of the learnings from last time will help us.

2617
02:17:13,600 --> 02:17:16,879
Speaker 1: My feeling on this, the NFL is playing two games

2618
02:17:16,959 --> 02:17:18,840
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day and it's a Wednesday.

2619
02:17:19,400 --> 02:17:20,200
Speaker 2: Why are they doing that?

2620
02:17:20,600 --> 02:17:24,880
Speaker 1: Because Christmas Day has become an absolute jackpot ratings wise

2621
02:17:25,160 --> 02:17:29,400
Speaker 1: for the NFL, and they're printing money right now. They're

2622
02:17:29,440 --> 02:17:32,360
Speaker 1: gonna find a way. They're gonna find a way, and

2623
02:17:32,560 --> 02:17:35,119
Speaker 1: when they do it, everyone's gonna be fired up because

2624
02:17:35,120 --> 02:17:37,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the Super Bowl Sunday that followed up

2625
02:17:37,959 --> 02:17:41,400
Speaker 1: on the President's Day weekend. And I think that's pretty cool,

2626
02:17:42,360 --> 02:17:44,400
Speaker 1: a three day weekend, which is what I think, truly

2627
02:17:44,480 --> 02:17:48,000
Speaker 1: the super Bowl deserves. All Right, We'll have plenty of

2628
02:17:48,080 --> 02:17:51,440
Speaker 1: time to talk about that during the off season, throughout

2629
02:17:51,480 --> 02:17:53,680
Speaker 1: free agency in the draft, but by god, we got

2630
02:17:53,840 --> 02:17:56,880
Speaker 1: games to talk about I got my Plank parlay coming up.

2631
02:17:56,879 --> 02:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here. We got more to

2632
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:01,520
Speaker 1: get to from the college. But when we come back,

2633
02:18:01,600 --> 02:18:03,880
Speaker 1: my buddy Josh Helmer joins us right here on Fox

2644
02:18:41,200 --> 02:18:44,000
Speaker 1: Helmer is my co host on my local show and

2645
02:18:44,440 --> 02:18:47,359
Speaker 1: does a myriad of things beyond just talking college football

2646
02:18:47,800 --> 02:18:52,039
Speaker 1: every day on our affiliate in Oklahoma Carry. But Josh,

2647
02:18:52,160 --> 02:18:54,000
Speaker 1: I do want to talk and good morning. Thanks for

2648
02:18:54,080 --> 02:18:56,760
Speaker 1: joining us late at night. Appreciate it. It's great to

2649
02:18:56,800 --> 02:18:57,640
Speaker 1: be with you. Plank.

2650
02:18:58,440 --> 02:18:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am.

2651
02:19:00,280 --> 02:19:03,320
Speaker 1: These hours are sometimes crazy, so I appreciate the magic

2652
02:19:03,400 --> 02:19:06,400
Speaker 1: and making this conversation with you happen. But how weird

2653
02:19:06,480 --> 02:19:09,040
Speaker 1: has it been covering college football over the last couple

2654
02:19:09,080 --> 02:19:10,480
Speaker 1: of years. Josh and I had done a show together

2655
02:19:10,520 --> 02:19:14,920
Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen, and we've seen everything change in college football? Right,

2656
02:19:15,280 --> 02:19:17,320
Speaker 1: So how wild is it right now to see this

2657
02:19:17,480 --> 02:19:20,640
Speaker 1: world we live in where when the season's over, we're

2658
02:19:20,720 --> 02:19:23,880
Speaker 1: doing nothing but talking about transfer portal and true real

2659
02:19:23,920 --> 02:19:25,600
Speaker 1: life free agency. It's crazy, isn't it?

2660
02:19:26,240 --> 02:19:26,520
Speaker 6: It is?

2661
02:19:26,680 --> 02:19:28,200
Speaker 1: It's funny, you know.

2662
02:19:28,320 --> 02:19:31,080
Speaker 21: This week, a couple of folks chimed in saying, you know,

2663
02:19:31,200 --> 02:19:36,760
Speaker 21: how sustainable is this model for college football where you know, look,

2664
02:19:37,080 --> 02:19:40,040
Speaker 21: we don't know a lot of what players earn, and

2665
02:19:40,640 --> 02:19:43,760
Speaker 21: it is free agency after every season, And really it's

2666
02:19:43,840 --> 02:19:46,480
Speaker 21: not you know, free agency where guys have three year

2667
02:19:46,560 --> 02:19:48,680
Speaker 21: deals and then they're a free agent. It feels like

2668
02:19:48,760 --> 02:19:51,879
Speaker 21: it's a one year deal in free agency for everybody.

2669
02:19:52,240 --> 02:19:55,040
Speaker 21: Having said that, as crazy as wild West as it

2670
02:19:55,160 --> 02:19:58,039
Speaker 21: is for us, for this, oh my gosh, it's great

2671
02:19:58,080 --> 02:19:59,640
Speaker 21: for college creation, for.

2672
02:19:59,720 --> 02:20:03,560
Speaker 1: Com bring it. It's so much content that you that

2673
02:20:03,680 --> 02:20:07,760
Speaker 1: you get to cover. If you're not like a blue blood,

2674
02:20:07,840 --> 02:20:11,000
Speaker 1: diehard fan and your mindset is I hate this right now?

2675
02:20:11,040 --> 02:20:13,160
Speaker 1: Because I hate the way that it's going. Right, we

2676
02:20:13,280 --> 02:20:16,040
Speaker 1: should never pay players. If that's not you, the dude,

2677
02:20:16,080 --> 02:20:19,279
Speaker 1: this is awesome right now, right your team. Look at Indiana.

2678
02:20:19,600 --> 02:20:22,800
Speaker 1: Indiana is playing in the playoffs after being like a

2679
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:25,960
Speaker 1: one win team last year. Colorado was knocking on the

2680
02:20:26,040 --> 02:20:29,760
Speaker 1: door of the playoffs. Arizona State was terrible last year. Now,

2681
02:20:30,160 --> 02:20:32,800
Speaker 1: some of these are the breaks of schedules, and you know,

2682
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:34,680
Speaker 1: an I don't just think you back your way to

2683
02:20:34,800 --> 02:20:36,840
Speaker 1: ten and two if you're in Arizona State. But the

2684
02:20:36,920 --> 02:20:39,320
Speaker 1: point is you can go from being a very mediocre

2685
02:20:39,440 --> 02:20:42,359
Speaker 1: to bad team and Josh find yourself in the playoff

2686
02:20:42,440 --> 02:20:45,800
Speaker 1: mix just with a couple of key additions. It's crazy.

2687
02:20:46,320 --> 02:20:48,800
Speaker 21: It didn't wind up that way late because of the

2688
02:20:49,240 --> 02:20:53,160
Speaker 21: loss to Syracuse and stubbing the toe earlier. But you know,

2689
02:20:53,320 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 21: for Miami they're right there, and nearly it was the

2690
02:20:56,760 --> 02:21:00,720
Speaker 21: addition of cam Ward, so you know, the core back position,

2691
02:21:00,800 --> 02:21:03,080
Speaker 21: of course, can flip things in a hurry for you.

2692
02:21:03,240 --> 02:21:06,280
Speaker 21: But with Indiana, you go when you get Curtis Rourke,

2693
02:21:06,560 --> 02:21:08,800
Speaker 21: somebody that not a lot of people would have thought,

2694
02:21:08,879 --> 02:21:10,840
Speaker 21: you know, coming over from Ohio is going to do

2695
02:21:10,879 --> 02:21:13,000
Speaker 21: the kind of things that he did at Indiana, and

2696
02:21:13,560 --> 02:21:16,320
Speaker 21: rapidly you can overhaul things. You can go from zero

2697
02:21:16,440 --> 02:21:19,240
Speaker 21: to hero in a hurry in this transfer portal era.

2698
02:21:19,440 --> 02:21:23,320
Speaker 21: So it creates some some fun narratives at times. And

2699
02:21:23,360 --> 02:21:27,960
Speaker 21: obviously we've seen some some radical turnarounds in a hurry.

2700
02:21:29,400 --> 02:21:32,640
Speaker 1: You know, we've you and I and covering basically the

2701
02:21:32,840 --> 02:21:36,200
Speaker 1: SEC in Oklahoma for our show. It's been kind of

2702
02:21:36,240 --> 02:21:38,320
Speaker 1: wild to see the news that's been taking place beyond

2703
02:21:39,520 --> 02:21:42,160
Speaker 1: our little bubble. And I still am in shock that

2704
02:21:42,200 --> 02:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has a head college football coach. I know,

2705
02:21:45,120 --> 02:21:48,640
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of writers that are now saying, hey,

2706
02:21:49,560 --> 02:21:52,360
Speaker 1: those who really covered him close saw this coming and

2707
02:21:52,520 --> 02:21:54,320
Speaker 1: thought there'd be a pretty good idea that he would

2708
02:21:54,320 --> 02:21:56,600
Speaker 1: coach college football. I don't know about you, Bro, I'm

2709
02:21:56,600 --> 02:21:59,840
Speaker 1: still in like absolute shock that we're talking about North

2710
02:21:59,840 --> 02:22:01,920
Speaker 1: Carolina head football coach Bill Belichick.

2711
02:22:02,640 --> 02:22:06,800
Speaker 21: It felt as though at first maybe it was angling

2712
02:22:07,200 --> 02:22:09,840
Speaker 21: to try and let NFL clubs know, hey, I'm still

2713
02:22:09,920 --> 02:22:10,760
Speaker 21: open for business.

2714
02:22:10,879 --> 02:22:13,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to be an NFL head coach again.

2715
02:22:13,320 --> 02:22:15,880
Speaker 21: Right, it's wrapping your brain around the idea that Bill

2716
02:22:15,920 --> 02:22:20,320
Speaker 21: Belichick was legitimately going to be a head college football coach.

2717
02:22:20,720 --> 02:22:24,280
Speaker 21: It didn't seem like a destination we'd really get to

2718
02:22:24,400 --> 02:22:28,080
Speaker 21: the conclusion on. And yet as this thing kept progressing

2719
02:22:28,160 --> 02:22:31,600
Speaker 21: with North Carolina, you realize, okay, well it is more

2720
02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:35,800
Speaker 21: NFL light than ever before. And yes, Bill Belichick, the

2721
02:22:37,480 --> 02:22:41,520
Speaker 21: magnetic pull, the gravity that he has, he's the he's

2722
02:22:41,600 --> 02:22:45,400
Speaker 21: one of the few guys playing where you know, because

2723
02:22:45,520 --> 02:22:48,680
Speaker 21: he's Bill Belichick. Somebody made the remark to me earlier

2724
02:22:48,760 --> 02:22:51,640
Speaker 21: this week that, well, you know, do these recruits really

2725
02:22:51,760 --> 02:22:53,920
Speaker 21: know about Bill Belichick. You know, he hasn't been the

2726
02:22:53,959 --> 02:22:56,160
Speaker 21: Patriots head coach in a little while. He's one of

2727
02:22:56,200 --> 02:22:59,560
Speaker 21: those select few guys like a Nick Safe been. And

2728
02:22:59,720 --> 02:23:02,680
Speaker 21: maybe there's other coaches you could mention in another sports

2729
02:23:02,720 --> 02:23:05,120
Speaker 21: that I don't know that you know, he needed to

2730
02:23:05,160 --> 02:23:08,760
Speaker 21: be coaching last week for his gravitational pull to have

2731
02:23:08,920 --> 02:23:11,240
Speaker 21: the kind of effect that it could have at North

2732
02:23:11,280 --> 02:23:14,520
Speaker 21: Carolina in this nil in this transfer portal era. So

2733
02:23:14,800 --> 02:23:18,480
Speaker 21: while it sounded crazy initially with Bill Belichick, the Super

2734
02:23:18,520 --> 02:23:21,560
Speaker 21: Bowl rings everything that he is and how quickly you

2735
02:23:21,640 --> 02:23:22,960
Speaker 21: can transform.

2736
02:23:22,560 --> 02:23:24,400
Speaker 1: Something color be intrigued.

2737
02:23:24,440 --> 02:23:26,320
Speaker 21: I'm not gonna say that he's taken him to the

2738
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:29,400
Speaker 21: College Football Playoff next season or the following year or whatever.

2739
02:23:29,640 --> 02:23:31,800
Speaker 21: I know, he's got his four hundred page document and

2740
02:23:31,879 --> 02:23:34,360
Speaker 21: his five year plan, but color be intrigued.

2741
02:23:35,200 --> 02:23:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. I don't know if it's gonna work

2742
02:23:38,480 --> 02:23:41,080
Speaker 1: because there is so much more that's involved in it now, right.

2743
02:23:41,959 --> 02:23:46,680
Speaker 1: But I mean from a pure football perspective, buddy, I mean,

2744
02:23:46,920 --> 02:23:49,320
Speaker 1: if you're trying to make up your mind about where

2745
02:23:49,320 --> 02:23:52,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna play college football, what a sales piece it

2746
02:23:52,879 --> 02:23:55,760
Speaker 1: is to say, oh, yeah, Bill Belichick. I wonder if

2747
02:23:55,800 --> 02:23:57,320
Speaker 1: he knows how to get me ready for the league.

2748
02:23:57,360 --> 02:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Oh guess what dude's got like rings on every finger

2749
02:24:00,959 --> 02:24:03,360
Speaker 1: seemingly right now? What a sales pitch that's going to be.

2750
02:24:04,240 --> 02:24:08,080
Speaker 21: There's no doubt it's a sales pitch that nobody else

2751
02:24:08,360 --> 02:24:11,680
Speaker 21: can make. Nick Saban again would be the one guy

2752
02:24:11,720 --> 02:24:15,200
Speaker 21: if he was still coaching that his rings in college football,

2753
02:24:15,680 --> 02:24:18,800
Speaker 21: of course, would be comparable to Bill Belichick. But there's

2754
02:24:18,879 --> 02:24:22,160
Speaker 21: nobody like Bill Belichick now in college football.

2755
02:24:21,800 --> 02:24:23,000
Speaker 1: With his Super Bowl rings.

2756
02:24:23,760 --> 02:24:23,880
Speaker 22: Ye.

2757
02:24:24,160 --> 02:24:26,400
Speaker 2: Man, I'm just I'm still incomplete.

2758
02:24:27,360 --> 02:24:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's no bs, dude. I mean, if you

2759
02:24:29,200 --> 02:24:32,039
Speaker 1: would have told me that Bill Belichick, if Josh Hipel

2760
02:24:32,080 --> 02:24:35,480
Speaker 1: got fired took over at Tennessee or Bill Belichick was

2761
02:24:35,560 --> 02:24:39,000
Speaker 1: the next guy at Bama. Makes sense Bill Belichick in

2762
02:24:39,040 --> 02:24:42,960
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I just I don't know. Didn't we do

2763
02:24:43,080 --> 02:24:46,000
Speaker 1: this before? Didn't Bill Walsh go to Stanford after his

2764
02:24:46,200 --> 02:24:48,200
Speaker 1: career in the San Francisco forty nine ers when he

2765
02:24:48,280 --> 02:24:51,520
Speaker 1: was supposed to be retired. And it's different, man, different.

2766
02:24:51,520 --> 02:24:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll get used to it. Josh

2767
02:24:53,160 --> 02:24:54,119
Speaker 1: Helmer is our guest.

2768
02:24:54,720 --> 02:24:54,920
Speaker 11: Josh.

2769
02:24:54,959 --> 02:24:56,840
Speaker 1: In addition to you and I doing a show together

2770
02:24:57,160 --> 02:25:00,680
Speaker 1: on our affiliate in Oklahoma, you cover the NFL's is anyone,

2771
02:25:01,200 --> 02:25:04,120
Speaker 1: especially if at raiderswire dot com. Part of this reason

2772
02:25:04,160 --> 02:25:05,840
Speaker 1: for me waking you up and coming on with us

2773
02:25:05,959 --> 02:25:08,640
Speaker 1: is that I need some therapy with what's going on

2774
02:25:08,720 --> 02:25:12,880
Speaker 1: in Vegas right now. Surprisingly, I'm mad they're two and eleven,

2775
02:25:13,400 --> 02:25:16,000
Speaker 1: But in the same vein it's like, am I crazy

2776
02:25:16,040 --> 02:25:17,920
Speaker 1: if I still believe that Antonio Pierce can be a

2777
02:25:17,959 --> 02:25:21,160
Speaker 1: good and a winning head coach. No, I don't think

2778
02:25:21,160 --> 02:25:21,800
Speaker 1: you're crazy.

2779
02:25:22,760 --> 02:25:22,880
Speaker 6: You know.

2780
02:25:23,080 --> 02:25:27,959
Speaker 21: Obviously this has not been a great endorsement of that note,

2781
02:25:28,040 --> 02:25:31,600
Speaker 21: with the way that things have totally spiraled from the

2782
02:25:31,920 --> 02:25:34,680
Speaker 21: two and two start, and now you know, when somebody

2783
02:25:35,120 --> 02:25:37,240
Speaker 21: a couple of weeks ago would have said, hey, I

2784
02:25:37,360 --> 02:25:41,600
Speaker 21: think that the Raiders might legitimately lose out You think, no, sure,

2785
02:25:41,840 --> 02:25:45,360
Speaker 21: they're gonna pick off one two somewhere, and now all

2786
02:25:45,400 --> 02:25:47,680
Speaker 21: of a sudden you look up and yeah, they legitimately

2787
02:25:47,879 --> 02:25:50,520
Speaker 21: might lose out here in this NFL season.

2788
02:25:50,560 --> 02:25:52,800
Speaker 1: So that's of course not a great endorsement.

2789
02:25:52,879 --> 02:25:55,600
Speaker 21: But you know, the one thing for Antonio Pierce is

2790
02:25:56,360 --> 02:26:00,840
Speaker 21: he was not given a healthy deck of at all

2791
02:26:00,959 --> 02:26:04,520
Speaker 21: the quarterback situation, even if it was healthy, and it

2792
02:26:04,640 --> 02:26:08,959
Speaker 21: has not been. With the season ending injury to Gardner Minshew,

2793
02:26:09,160 --> 02:26:11,040
Speaker 21: we thought for a moment maybe there was another season

2794
02:26:11,120 --> 02:26:14,320
Speaker 21: ending injury to aid and O'Connell, but even Aidan O'Connell

2795
02:26:14,480 --> 02:26:18,000
Speaker 21: before that, Plank had had been sidelined on the IR

2796
02:26:18,160 --> 02:26:20,120
Speaker 21: for you know, an extended period of time. So the

2797
02:26:20,200 --> 02:26:23,280
Speaker 21: quarterback situation, with the injuries and before that, just being

2798
02:26:23,360 --> 02:26:27,039
Speaker 21: totally unsettled, you didn't go get the free agent quarterback

2799
02:26:27,080 --> 02:26:29,920
Speaker 21: that you needed to really go into this season thinking

2800
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:32,439
Speaker 21: that you were going to be any kind of a factor.

2801
02:26:32,160 --> 02:26:35,040
Speaker 1: In the AFC West or the AFC big picture.

2802
02:26:35,080 --> 02:26:37,560
Speaker 21: So for that reason, I say, sure, if you get

2803
02:26:37,600 --> 02:26:40,280
Speaker 21: the right quarterback in there, there's obviously a lot of

2804
02:26:40,360 --> 02:26:43,720
Speaker 21: retooling that needs to happen for the Raiders, but I

2805
02:26:43,760 --> 02:26:44,040
Speaker 21: don't know.

2806
02:26:44,120 --> 02:26:45,760
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's going to get that chance.

2807
02:26:45,840 --> 02:26:47,720
Speaker 21: That's going to be a fascinating storyline I think to

2808
02:26:47,800 --> 02:26:48,920
Speaker 21: follow in the next little bit.

2809
02:26:49,360 --> 02:26:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did, two I did too, and I have

2810
02:26:52,280 --> 02:26:55,200
Speaker 1: another interesting theory to post. I really like both Shador

2811
02:26:55,280 --> 02:26:58,959
Speaker 1: Sanders and cam Ward, but I unlike you. I think

2812
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:01,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders might back in a few wins here. I

2813
02:27:01,840 --> 02:27:04,000
Speaker 1: think that they could be I think they could beat

2814
02:27:04,000 --> 02:27:06,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta on Monday Net Football. Atlanta's reeling and they're not

2815
02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:09,080
Speaker 1: going to go with Pinnis. I think they could beat

2816
02:27:09,160 --> 02:27:11,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and I don't think the Giants are gonna win

2817
02:27:11,600 --> 02:27:15,080
Speaker 1: another game this year. So two things here real quick

2818
02:27:15,120 --> 02:27:18,160
Speaker 1: on the Raiders. Raiderswire dot com is where you can

2819
02:27:18,200 --> 02:27:21,040
Speaker 1: find all of Josh just work covering the NFL. Number one,

2820
02:27:21,440 --> 02:27:25,160
Speaker 1: is there a chance that they have to start looking

2821
02:27:25,280 --> 02:27:27,960
Speaker 1: at bottom of the first round guys, in other words,

2822
02:27:28,800 --> 02:27:30,960
Speaker 1: the Quinn viewers of the world, the Jalen Milroe. I

2823
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:32,680
Speaker 1: don't know if Jalen Milroe is going to declare for

2824
02:27:32,760 --> 02:27:35,760
Speaker 1: the draft, but if he does, I would assume it's

2825
02:27:35,800 --> 02:27:37,960
Speaker 1: now GARRETTNS Meyers going back to LSU, so he was

2826
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:42,480
Speaker 1: always intriguing to me. But do they have to start

2827
02:27:42,520 --> 02:27:46,560
Speaker 1: because I theorize I don't think they ever recovered from

2828
02:27:46,600 --> 02:27:49,000
Speaker 1: the way the quarterback situation played out last year in

2829
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:51,640
Speaker 1: the draft. I think when Atlanta took Pinnis, I think

2830
02:27:51,720 --> 02:27:54,560
Speaker 1: it threw the Raiders for a loop. I really firmly

2831
02:27:54,600 --> 02:27:56,400
Speaker 1: believe that because I think they were said on Pinnicks

2832
02:27:56,640 --> 02:27:59,440
Speaker 1: are bow Nicks. They can't let that happen again, right,

2833
02:27:59,600 --> 02:28:02,200
Speaker 1: So I mean to me, I feel like it's gonna

2834
02:28:02,200 --> 02:28:05,040
Speaker 1: be Ward or Sanders, and if the Raiders win some games,

2835
02:28:05,040 --> 02:28:07,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna mortgage their future to move up, and they should.

2836
02:28:08,320 --> 02:28:11,320
Speaker 1: But should they also evaluate maybe if there's a better

2837
02:28:11,360 --> 02:28:14,080
Speaker 1: fit or do you think this is a Shador Sanders

2838
02:28:14,120 --> 02:28:15,200
Speaker 1: to Vegas slam dunk?

2839
02:28:16,520 --> 02:28:20,240
Speaker 21: Well, I think it's Shadoor Sanders or cam Ward one

2840
02:28:20,320 --> 02:28:23,800
Speaker 21: or the other once we get to the NFL Draft

2841
02:28:23,879 --> 02:28:25,280
Speaker 21: and all of the dust settles on it. But that

2842
02:28:25,440 --> 02:28:29,600
Speaker 21: being said, it would be franchise malpractice to not be

2843
02:28:29,760 --> 02:28:34,080
Speaker 21: kicking the tires on every single quarterback option that they

2844
02:28:34,200 --> 02:28:37,160
Speaker 21: think could be a possibility, dependent upon the way the

2845
02:28:37,200 --> 02:28:41,000
Speaker 21: rest of this thing plays out. I think that I

2846
02:28:41,040 --> 02:28:43,440
Speaker 21: don't think Vegas is winning enough games down the stretch

2847
02:28:43,520 --> 02:28:46,720
Speaker 21: to fall out of the top five per se, So

2848
02:28:46,920 --> 02:28:49,280
Speaker 21: I think that there's a good chance they're going to

2849
02:28:49,320 --> 02:28:52,040
Speaker 21: be right there where they need to be to if

2850
02:28:52,080 --> 02:28:53,920
Speaker 21: they got to move up to get one of those

2851
02:28:53,920 --> 02:28:56,960
Speaker 21: two quarterbacks, they're going to be maneuverable to do that.

2852
02:28:57,280 --> 02:29:00,640
Speaker 1: So I think it's either Sanders or Ward.

2853
02:29:00,959 --> 02:29:03,800
Speaker 21: But just you know, simply to answer the question, I mean,

2854
02:29:03,920 --> 02:29:05,760
Speaker 21: come on, you gotta be looking at all these guys,

2855
02:29:05,800 --> 02:29:07,800
Speaker 21: I think with where the Raiders are at, because the

2856
02:29:08,080 --> 02:29:10,760
Speaker 21: number one issue for them is we've got to find

2857
02:29:10,800 --> 02:29:11,560
Speaker 21: the franchise guy.

2858
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:13,879
Speaker 1: We haven't had them since Derek Carr left. We got

2859
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:16,240
Speaker 1: to go find him. And and as you and I

2860
02:29:16,320 --> 02:29:19,040
Speaker 1: have talked about quite a bit in another world, we

2861
02:29:19,400 --> 02:29:24,160
Speaker 1: were gonna start our podcast called AFC Best, Right, our

2862
02:29:24,920 --> 02:29:28,760
Speaker 1: AFC West AFC Best, that's the West. Yeah, you've you've

2863
02:29:29,360 --> 02:29:31,640
Speaker 1: you know you're from the witch Dawg, Kansas area. You're

2864
02:29:31,640 --> 02:29:34,200
Speaker 1: a Chief Skuy, I'm a Raiders guy. We got friends

2865
02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:36,640
Speaker 1: that are DIALD Broncos fans and shared just fans that

2866
02:29:36,680 --> 02:29:38,680
Speaker 1: we work with. The bottom line is, if you're the

2867
02:29:38,800 --> 02:29:41,800
Speaker 1: Raiders at number one, has been proven you can't stop

2868
02:29:41,879 --> 02:29:45,360
Speaker 1: my Homes right Suddenly it seems like the Chargers got

2869
02:29:45,400 --> 02:29:48,560
Speaker 1: things figured out with with Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert

2870
02:29:48,959 --> 02:29:51,400
Speaker 1: and you know, again there's still a lot to be

2871
02:29:51,520 --> 02:29:52,959
Speaker 1: determined on bow Nicks, but.

2872
02:29:53,040 --> 02:29:57,000
Speaker 2: The early returns with Sean Payton pretty good, feel right.

2873
02:29:57,320 --> 02:29:59,360
Speaker 1: So the point, more than anything else is you got

2874
02:29:59,480 --> 02:30:03,560
Speaker 1: to get your court situation taken care of because hatchwork

2875
02:30:03,800 --> 02:30:05,400
Speaker 1: is not going to beat those three teams at the

2876
02:30:05,480 --> 02:30:07,040
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Just not going to happen.

2877
02:30:07,600 --> 02:30:11,080
Speaker 21: We fall in love in the NFL and fall out

2878
02:30:11,120 --> 02:30:13,800
Speaker 21: of love, by the way, in the NFL very very quickly.

2879
02:30:13,920 --> 02:30:17,320
Speaker 21: But looking at this AFC West picture, we know about

2880
02:30:17,360 --> 02:30:20,120
Speaker 21: Patrick Mahomes, we know about Kansas City. You know, are

2881
02:30:20,200 --> 02:30:23,480
Speaker 21: they gonna track down Brady and you know, win a

2882
02:30:23,520 --> 02:30:25,320
Speaker 21: bunch of more super Bowls? We'll see about all that, right,

2883
02:30:25,360 --> 02:30:27,040
Speaker 21: It's tough to win super bowls, but I think we

2884
02:30:27,160 --> 02:30:30,120
Speaker 21: know that winning the AFC West being in that picture,

2885
02:30:30,520 --> 02:30:33,680
Speaker 21: being in the mix for deep postseason runs and super Bowls,

2886
02:30:33,720 --> 02:30:35,080
Speaker 21: we know that Kansas City is going to be that

2887
02:30:35,120 --> 02:30:37,400
Speaker 21: as long as Mahomes is there and Reid is there

2888
02:30:37,720 --> 02:30:41,000
Speaker 21: and Mahomes is healthy. Bo Nicks, it looks like, yes,

2889
02:30:41,120 --> 02:30:45,360
Speaker 21: the diver Broncos have found their guy. I think that clearly.

2890
02:30:46,440 --> 02:30:48,600
Speaker 21: You know, the Chargers now are in a better direction.

2891
02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:51,280
Speaker 21: So you look around the NFL and you kind of go,

2892
02:30:51,520 --> 02:30:54,440
Speaker 21: you know, division by division, and yes, where.

2893
02:30:54,280 --> 02:30:57,280
Speaker 1: We're existing in today, though this can change again rapidly.

2894
02:30:57,640 --> 02:31:00,600
Speaker 21: The AFC West looks like one of the best divisions

2895
02:31:00,640 --> 02:31:03,200
Speaker 21: on paper, I think for the next at least happen

2896
02:31:03,240 --> 02:31:05,600
Speaker 21: to a decade, right you look at it. So, yeah,

2897
02:31:05,640 --> 02:31:07,760
Speaker 21: from that standpoint, if I'm looking at it from a

2898
02:31:07,840 --> 02:31:11,800
Speaker 21: Raiders perspective, you know, quarterback, of course, you always have

2899
02:31:11,879 --> 02:31:16,000
Speaker 21: a premium there, but their necessity to go find a

2900
02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:19,160
Speaker 21: star quarterback when maybe the Broncos have hit on bow

2901
02:31:19,280 --> 02:31:21,280
Speaker 21: Nicks and you like what you have in Herbert and

2902
02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:24,560
Speaker 21: mahomes is, you know, probably the best quarterback on planet Earth.

2903
02:31:24,800 --> 02:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to find the right guy.

2904
02:31:27,280 --> 02:31:29,039
Speaker 2: Before I let you go, we got a great slate

2905
02:31:29,080 --> 02:31:30,080
Speaker 2: of games coming up today.

2906
02:31:30,120 --> 02:31:34,160
Speaker 1: Man, this is one of those weird Sundays that very

2907
02:31:34,400 --> 02:31:37,920
Speaker 1: rarely happens where there's not a lot of intriguing games

2908
02:31:37,959 --> 02:31:41,360
Speaker 1: in that early window. I mean, I'll be watching Kansas

2909
02:31:41,400 --> 02:31:43,440
Speaker 1: City at Cleveland just because you know, Jamis is going

2910
02:31:43,520 --> 02:31:47,520
Speaker 1: to do something crazy and where we are in the

2911
02:31:47,600 --> 02:31:49,600
Speaker 1: Bible Belt, We're going to get the Cowboys crammed down

2912
02:31:49,680 --> 02:31:50,120
Speaker 1: our throat.

2913
02:31:50,879 --> 02:31:53,920
Speaker 2: But that afternoon window Indy at Denver. Dude, look at

2914
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:54,720
Speaker 2: indy schedule.

2915
02:31:55,040 --> 02:31:58,520
Speaker 1: If they win, if they beat Denver tomorrow, Indy's got

2916
02:31:58,560 --> 02:32:01,520
Speaker 1: a great chance to make the playoffs. Buffalo's at Detroit,

2917
02:32:01,920 --> 02:32:05,920
Speaker 1: Steelers at the Eagles, Hamps at Los Angeles for the Chargers,

2918
02:32:06,280 --> 02:32:08,640
Speaker 1: your Sunday night football game, the game later on this evening,

2919
02:32:08,879 --> 02:32:10,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Seattle. I mean, this is one of the

2920
02:32:10,920 --> 02:32:15,720
Speaker 1: better afternoon slash primetime Sundays that we've had. Man, it's great.

2921
02:32:16,640 --> 02:32:20,920
Speaker 21: Yeah, that Indy Denver game is very important for Indianapolis,

2922
02:32:21,080 --> 02:32:24,200
Speaker 21: very important for Denver. But yeah, teams like Miami and

2923
02:32:24,240 --> 02:32:26,920
Speaker 21: Cincinnati that are trying to think about can we close

2924
02:32:27,000 --> 02:32:30,760
Speaker 21: this season and make a push for that number seven slot.

2925
02:32:31,320 --> 02:32:34,160
Speaker 21: It's going to impact a lot of folks beyond just

2926
02:32:34,200 --> 02:32:35,359
Speaker 21: Denver and Indianapolis.

2927
02:32:36,360 --> 02:32:37,160
Speaker 2: Well, Josh, thank you.

2928
02:32:37,440 --> 02:32:39,400
Speaker 1: I know this is very very early in the morning

2929
02:32:39,480 --> 02:32:41,480
Speaker 1: for you, but we appreciate you finding time for us

2930
02:32:41,480 --> 02:32:44,160
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. And enjoy the rest of

2931
02:32:44,240 --> 02:32:48,760
Speaker 1: your vacation, Blake anytime, my friend, appreciate it. Hi is

2932
02:32:49,160 --> 02:32:51,199
Speaker 1: my guy Josh Almer. You can follow him on Twitter

2933
02:32:51,800 --> 02:32:55,240
Speaker 1: at Josh on ref. He's that weird mix of someone

2934
02:32:55,280 --> 02:32:58,000
Speaker 1: who grew up a Chiefs fan but covers the Raiders,

2935
02:32:58,720 --> 02:33:01,080
Speaker 1: and I think he's adding the forty nine ers to

2936
02:33:01,160 --> 02:33:05,040
Speaker 1: that kind of resume as well. Here soon, all right,

2937
02:33:05,040 --> 02:33:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I've got my pick segment coming up next,

2938
02:33:08,879 --> 02:33:11,560
Speaker 1: which basically means I've got to go six to zero

2939
02:33:12,280 --> 02:33:16,480
Speaker 1: because I'm giving you two can't miss parlays.

2940
02:33:16,640 --> 02:33:19,240
Speaker 2: Now, I want to be clear, I do not live in.

2941
02:33:19,240 --> 02:33:22,640
Speaker 1: A state where gambling is illegal, so I can't say

2942
02:33:22,760 --> 02:33:25,920
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna bet these games. I feel like that's

2943
02:33:25,959 --> 02:33:28,879
Speaker 1: a necessary disclaimer in today's world. But if I could,

2944
02:33:29,360 --> 02:33:31,600
Speaker 1: I absolutely would, and I'll give it to you next

2945
02:33:31,680 --> 02:33:35,000
Speaker 1: right here on Fox Sports Radio. Can't believe it's our

2946
02:33:35,080 --> 02:33:38,039
Speaker 1: last segment. It's her last segment, right, Shay, it's her

2947
02:33:38,160 --> 02:33:42,280
Speaker 1: last segment, right, Mark, were there look at us? Let's

2948
02:33:42,360 --> 02:33:45,640
Speaker 1: not let's not try to spike the ball before we

2949
02:33:46,520 --> 02:33:49,120
Speaker 1: cross the goal line. I try to tear down the

2950
02:33:49,160 --> 02:33:53,680
Speaker 1: goalpost before the game's over. I had a segment carved

2951
02:33:53,720 --> 02:33:57,200
Speaker 1: out tonight for the quarterback off season before I get

2952
02:33:57,240 --> 02:34:01,240
Speaker 1: my picks. Shay, what is your feel on your Browns

2953
02:34:01,640 --> 02:34:06,039
Speaker 1: because in everything I've read it seems like it's Deshaun

2954
02:34:06,120 --> 02:34:08,920
Speaker 1: Watson again next year. Is that what you're feeling?

2955
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:13,199
Speaker 7: Yeah? Sorry, so sucks.

2956
02:34:13,640 --> 02:34:18,800
Speaker 1: I put the Browns still though, as one of nine

2957
02:34:18,920 --> 02:34:22,440
Speaker 1: teams who could have a possible quarterback change next year.

2958
02:34:22,920 --> 02:34:25,360
Speaker 2: Two for certain, going on this list right now, you

2959
02:34:25,400 --> 02:34:26,520
Speaker 2: tell me if you're buying or selling.

2960
02:34:26,560 --> 02:34:30,760
Speaker 1: Okay, two for certain right, Raiders, Giants right now, likely

2961
02:34:30,840 --> 02:34:33,840
Speaker 1: one two picks in the draft. The Raiders are starting

2962
02:34:33,879 --> 02:34:36,480
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter I think on Monday night, and one of

2963
02:34:36,520 --> 02:34:39,360
Speaker 1: the Giants going back to Tommy DeVito here, they're gonna

2964
02:34:39,360 --> 02:34:42,080
Speaker 1: have a different and I don't think either starting quarterback

2965
02:34:42,360 --> 02:34:44,440
Speaker 1: that open the season is on their roster right now.

2966
02:34:45,200 --> 02:34:48,720
Speaker 1: So you buy that with the Raiders and the Giants

2967
02:34:48,760 --> 02:34:58,960
Speaker 1: as certain changes. Certain it's happening, But you got the Jets, Steelers, Browns, Titans, Vikings, Saints, Carolina,

2968
02:34:59,080 --> 02:35:02,560
Speaker 1: Seattle and maybe the so Cleveland. You're kind of host.

2969
02:35:04,400 --> 02:35:08,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is forty one, but you're not really that

2970
02:35:09,080 --> 02:35:12,560
Speaker 1: hamstrung financially by his deal right now. There's a thirty

2971
02:35:12,640 --> 02:35:16,720
Speaker 1: five million dollar roster bonus that's due. He's a forty

2972
02:35:16,800 --> 02:35:19,840
Speaker 1: nine million dollar cap hit, but there's no years on

2973
02:35:19,920 --> 02:35:23,080
Speaker 1: the contract beyond twenty twenty five, and he can be

2974
02:35:23,480 --> 02:35:25,920
Speaker 1: a post June one cut and you can split up

2975
02:35:25,959 --> 02:35:29,360
Speaker 1: that cap hit over two years. Would you buy or

2976
02:35:29,480 --> 02:35:32,600
Speaker 1: sell Aaron Rodgers Shay as the starting quarterback for New

2977
02:35:32,680 --> 02:35:33,400
Speaker 1: York next year?

2978
02:35:33,720 --> 02:35:34,199
Speaker 2: The Jets?

2979
02:35:34,680 --> 02:35:35,800
Speaker 7: He's gonna start next year?

2980
02:35:35,800 --> 02:35:41,360
Speaker 1: Okay? Steelers Russell Wilson one year, one point five million

2981
02:35:41,400 --> 02:35:43,920
Speaker 1: dollar deal. Of course, it helps when the Broncos are

2982
02:35:43,959 --> 02:35:47,760
Speaker 1: playing paying a majority of that freight. Is Russell Wilson

2983
02:35:48,040 --> 02:35:52,200
Speaker 1: still the starting quarterback at Pittsburgh next year? Yeah?

2984
02:35:52,520 --> 02:35:54,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, Okay, he's so, and.

2985
02:35:54,760 --> 02:35:57,880
Speaker 1: We've we've all agreed that, hey, this is what's going

2986
02:35:57,920 --> 02:36:01,039
Speaker 1: to happen with the Browns. So that's so take that away.

2987
02:36:02,600 --> 02:36:06,440
Speaker 1: What about the Titans? Will Levis? Has he claimed the job?

2988
02:36:06,920 --> 02:36:09,640
Speaker 1: He has one win this year? Well, and the Titans

2989
02:36:09,680 --> 02:36:11,440
Speaker 1: have only won like four or five games, but he's

2990
02:36:11,440 --> 02:36:12,920
Speaker 1: got one win this year in a game where he

2991
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:16,680
Speaker 1: started and finished. See, I think Tennessee's a place where

2992
02:36:16,760 --> 02:36:18,320
Speaker 1: like a Sam Darnold could end up right.

2993
02:36:18,480 --> 02:36:20,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's what I was about to say.

2994
02:36:20,080 --> 02:36:22,520
Speaker 7: I could definitely see I don't see them drafting a quarterback,

2995
02:36:22,600 --> 02:36:24,760
Speaker 7: but I see them getting someone with a little bit

2996
02:36:24,800 --> 02:36:27,600
Speaker 7: of experience, so will Lovitz can take a seat kind

2997
02:36:27,640 --> 02:36:29,560
Speaker 7: of has someone Yeah, maybe Kirk Cousins.

2998
02:36:30,760 --> 02:36:32,880
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of that, I guess I need to add

2999
02:36:32,879 --> 02:36:34,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta to this list, don't.

3000
02:36:34,080 --> 02:36:36,200
Speaker 7: I, because that's that's the whole thing right now. I

3001
02:36:36,240 --> 02:36:39,199
Speaker 7: mean they're taking it slow, but I mean next season,

3002
02:36:39,280 --> 02:36:41,280
Speaker 7: if you're just keeping him on the bench, that's like

3003
02:36:42,360 --> 02:36:42,959
Speaker 7: Mike Pinnix.

3004
02:36:43,040 --> 02:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have it Lanta on this list. You're right,

3005
02:36:46,000 --> 02:36:49,760
Speaker 1: you have to add at Lanta to this list. The

3006
02:36:49,920 --> 02:36:53,680
Speaker 1: Vikings has Dnald been so good that they can't move on.

3007
02:36:54,200 --> 02:36:58,680
Speaker 1: Here was their offensive coordinator Wes Phillips talking about Sam's decision.

3008
02:36:59,120 --> 02:36:59,840
Speaker 1: I would hope he.

3009
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:02,440
Speaker 23: Would kind of say, Hey, the body of work that

3010
02:37:02,520 --> 02:37:04,959
Speaker 23: I've I've put in so far is going to take

3011
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:05,760
Speaker 23: care of the future.

3012
02:37:05,879 --> 02:37:08,199
Speaker 1: So really all I need to worry.

3013
02:37:08,040 --> 02:37:11,200
Speaker 23: About is right now, you know, I think we all

3014
02:37:11,320 --> 02:37:14,280
Speaker 23: know that, you know, Sam is gonna going to be

3015
02:37:16,120 --> 02:37:19,680
Speaker 23: sought after type of type of guy from wherever.

3016
02:37:19,480 --> 02:37:19,920
Speaker 11: That may be.

3017
02:37:20,200 --> 02:37:24,200
Speaker 23: So you know, whatever his future ends up being is

3018
02:37:24,400 --> 02:37:26,920
Speaker 23: is I know all of us in this building are

3019
02:37:26,959 --> 02:37:30,080
Speaker 23: gonna be happy for him, no matter no matter where

3020
02:37:30,160 --> 02:37:34,560
Speaker 23: that ends up being. So I don't think he has

3021
02:37:34,640 --> 02:37:36,960
Speaker 23: to worry about that anymore. I think the worry might

3022
02:37:37,000 --> 02:37:40,320
Speaker 23: have been, Okay, this is my opportunity to play. All right,

3023
02:37:40,920 --> 02:37:44,440
Speaker 23: He's past all that, he's proven the doubters, and he's

3024
02:37:44,480 --> 02:37:48,440
Speaker 23: proven that he can play in this league. So let's

3025
02:37:48,520 --> 02:37:50,840
Speaker 23: just make this the best possible season we can have.

3026
02:37:51,720 --> 02:37:54,240
Speaker 1: There's certain assistance. When you hear them talk, You're like, yeah,

3027
02:37:54,280 --> 02:37:55,720
Speaker 1: I get it, why that guy's never been a head

3028
02:37:55,720 --> 02:38:00,040
Speaker 1: coach before, But that kind of I think Minnesota, what

3029
02:38:00,200 --> 02:38:04,080
Speaker 1: is really being careful here? Really careful because I think

3030
02:38:04,160 --> 02:38:07,240
Speaker 1: they know JJ might need more time. I think Darnald's

3031
02:38:07,240 --> 02:38:08,640
Speaker 1: going to be back. I think they're going to franchise

3032
02:38:08,680 --> 02:38:13,480
Speaker 1: tag him Carolina, Seattle, the Rams at the Falcons to

3033
02:38:13,560 --> 02:38:18,840
Speaker 1: that list ten possible quarterback changes, twelve, then potentially total.

3034
02:38:19,280 --> 02:38:20,640
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. We can go ahead and cross

3035
02:38:20,720 --> 02:38:24,840
Speaker 1: all the Jets, Steelers, Browns, Titans, Vikings, maybe the Saints too, which,

3036
02:38:24,879 --> 02:38:27,840
Speaker 1: by the way, we didn't get to it, but shout

3037
02:38:27,879 --> 02:38:30,280
Speaker 1: out to the guy that thought the Saints should just

3038
02:38:30,360 --> 02:38:32,720
Speaker 1: go ahead and tank to try to get arch Manning

3039
02:38:33,560 --> 02:38:36,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Yeah, let's let's tank for a guy

3040
02:38:36,400 --> 02:38:39,000
Speaker 1: that number one we haven't seen play a full college season,

3041
