You'd be 65 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: really mad if you open up an article and started 66 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: reading and all of a sudden they spoiled the meaning 67 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: of life. 68 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: For you. 69 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: It's like they didn't tell me it was a spoiler alert.

Then? 75 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was just the meaning of life. I 76 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: don't know if that's you know, I don't know if 77 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna be something. Okay, meaning of life is great. 78 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, okay, but if you're giving 79 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: me the secret to eternal life, oh that's fine. Yeah, 80 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: but I don't want it.

We get to the 111 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: Thunder the Tea Wolves in a second. The only thing 112 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: that allowed me to get up today sports wise, right 113 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: and and have a day until until I saw the replay. 114 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: Oh Yeah, Haliburton completely double drip because I thought the 115 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: ball got knocked out of his hands. When had happened, 116 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, the ball get knocked out of 117 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: his hands. He's getting Oh no, no, no, no. You 118 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: see that big slow mo NFL films replay like the 119 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: chauffeur of a large limousine content to let the pods 120 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: do with the driving. Oh no, no, no, that just 121 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: fell out of his hands. No call. What got me 122 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: out of bed today was this? Was it? The way 123 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: Indiana celebrated and seemed so way overly self satisfied after 124 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 1: that game was over. Right, you had the Halliburton choke 125 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: at the end of regulation. Right, you had them running 126 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: on the court like they just qualified for the NBA Finals, 127 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: didn't just win Game one? Players all laughing during the 128 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: interviews after the game, even Rick Carlile, who usually only 129 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: likes to stick the knife into the officials, sticking the 130 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: knife into the Knicks, saying, ah, you know it's emotional. 131 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: Halliburton's earned the right to do whatever he wants. Okay, okay, 132 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: because if I'm the Knicks, I'm like anger and inside 133 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: out by this steam is going through my ears, going Okay, 134 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: you want to honk it up and do the choke 135 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: thing and do that. Okay, it's game one, Like That's 136 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: the thing that got me up today that if I 137 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: had any concern that the Knicks can just get up 138 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: and start spewing blood and be ready for the rest 139 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: of this series, have a complete attitude and game adjustment. 140 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: That's the one thing that's the one silver line in that. Boy, 141 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: Indiana really seems like they were ready, like they were celebrating, 142 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: like they won Game seven. Now that being said, again, 143 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: where do you go after that loss? Teams were one 144 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: thy four hundred and fourteen wins and zero losses leading 145 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: by nine or more with fifty seconds left in regulation 146 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: since the NBA started keeping track in nineteen ninety five. 147 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: Fourteen hundred up and zero down, which is what I 148 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: keep going back to go, how are we gonna come 149 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: back from that? How? How did the Nicks come back 150 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: from that? But my dad is my silver line that boy, 151 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: the Pacers really looked like they I don't want to 152 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: say they awakened to sleeping giant because it's look, it's 153 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: the NBA, it's the Eastern Conference Finals. But boy, if 154 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: you needed something else to show you about bearing down 155 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: mentally and playing and playing bigger and making sure that 156 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: you don't have any laps at the end of the game, 157 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: and watching Ogano Nobe just let off of every time 158 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: Nee Smith got the ball to let him shoot a three, Like, 159 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what else there is there. That's the 160 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: one silver lining I had in the day today. Yeah. 161 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: No, a lot of battles on that sideline. Tibbs went 162 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: through the throat laws and just screaming, would somebody get 163 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: out on this man? Kat always a step too slow. 164 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: You look at the overhead views over the shot chart, 165 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: you do the overlay a lot of wide open spaces 166 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: for open threes, so I gotta think the close outs 167 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: are better. The other thing is, look, I know you 168 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: only go seven deep, which means you've got a couple 169 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: of folks that might be able to give you a 170 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 3: hard follow or two and really not affect any other 171 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: part of the game. So just saying, maybe, you know, 172 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: we've been talking a lot about the tush push and 173 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: rugby scrums, and I'm tougher than you. Let's hire a 174 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 3: bunch of the Samoan guys from the WWE and the. 175 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: Bloodline to block for you. 176 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, maybe they've come out to set a 177 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 3: screen or two tomorrow, I to uh make folks think 178 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: a little bit as they're moving around the defensive perimeter, 179 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: just just saying, maybe maybe you get a little bit 180 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: of that. But yeah, you're you're not gonna give up 181 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: that many wide open shots again. Nee Smith had the 182 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: game of his life. No, he did score twenty five 183 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: against the Knicks, going back to a game at the 184 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: end of December. Not helping, not helping, you're not well, 185 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's but it's one data plot, it's 186 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: one plot point. 187 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm trying. 188 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: I'm trying to say, on the large st, the guy 189 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 3: had eight twenty point games all year long. I don't 190 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: think he's suddenly a guy that's gonna be a lights 191 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: out dead eye shooter, you know, like Hawkey, like our 192 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 3: guy Jeremy Renner, that he's he's not coming back for 193 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: a season two. I don't think, just like Jeremy Renner. 194 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: Again, this will only do so much for me, buddy, 195 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: this will only try it. 196 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: I ordered some Geordonald's it'll be here next week, and 197 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 3: I know, I know you know I got that going 198 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: for us.

And I feel like it's gonna be a 209 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: sweep now, because again, how do you come back from 210 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: with a fourteen point lead and two minutes and fifty 211 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: seconds left.

Man, what 217 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 3: are we doing? 218 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: Powell? 219 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: You're like, you gotta you gotta let it go, like 220 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: the Sideshow Bob when he had Bart's name on the 221 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: tattooed on. 222 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: His exactly deep Bart d straight out, straight out of 223 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: a little little cape fear for us. 224 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: All, but it's for the Bart thee oh okay, oh 225 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: that's right. 226 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I know it's it's been a tough twenty 227 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 3: not great. But Jack donya earlier, I mean, you vetoed 228 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: my idea that you know, this was the day to 229 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: let everybody just you know, like Luke Skywalker standing there 230 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 3: and they opened the cannons and really just start firing 231 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: and firing, and then he brushes off his shoulder and 232 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: all that that maybe we just opened the phone lines 233 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: for four hours and just sit back and let people 234 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: on load on you fire. 235 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: Every cabin on that man, every cannon. 236 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 3: He's not running the office. 237 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: I'll continue to be not great for a while. But 238 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 1: right now, let's get to the game happening. Middle of 239 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: the third quarter, sixty eight sixty one Thunder looking to 240 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: take a two games to non lead. It was a 241 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: slow start for shake Gilgess Alexander, but now leading the 242 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: way with twenty one points, making a five point lead 243 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: now sixty eight to sixty three. Minnesota coming out like 244 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: we thought last night, we picked this game, and we 245 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: gave our big picks for DraftKings, I said, look, give 246 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: me the over for Anthony Edwards. He knows that he 247 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: had a game in Game one that he needed to 248 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: play better. He needed to do more, he needed to 249 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: bring more to the table. This is the thing about 250 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: ann Edwards. He doesn't play with the consistency that the 251 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: great NBA players all play with. You want to make 252 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: a Michael Jordan, Well, he can't show up for four 253 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: out of six games in a playoff series, so we 254 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: knew this had to be a bigger game. He is 255 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: playing extremely well over the course of the last few minutes, 256 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: helping get the t Wolves back in this He's at 257 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: eighteen eight and four, shooting eight for nineteen from the floor, 258 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: still not hitting threes, but that happens, but still leading 259 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: the way now for the t Wolves because he's got 260 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: to do this right. But this hearkens back to why 261 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: I picked the Thunder in the beginning, is that you 262 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: need your best players to be great throughout an entire series. 263 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: And I have confidence that even when SGA is getting 264 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: shut down or they're doing things to slow him, he 265 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: finds a way to impact the game. He gets to 266 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: the free throw a lot, He does a lot of 267 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: different things, and Ann Edwards doesn't do it quite as often. 268 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: He has those couple of games a series where boy, 269 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: he really needed to be bigger if we were gonna win. 270 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: And you can't give the Thunder games like that because 271 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: they're just two good. So still a five point lead 272 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 1: for the Thunder right now, six and a half to 273 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: go in the. 274 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: Third twenty one for SGA got his MVP love and 275 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 3: you hear the chant all night long. Also five assists 276 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 3: in this one, moving the ball around quite well. Williams 277 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 3: with fifteen thus far, seven to eleven shooting. 278 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: The other side. 279 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: Right, we talk about Edwards and the need to be aggressive. 280 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: One of seven from three, but where where they need 281 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: some help? They they've gotten McDaniel's going. But Julius Randall 282 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: just two of nine thus far after that huge game one, so. 283 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: True, clearly he's affected by the next giving away game 284 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: in a great game and now he's two for nine. 285 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: He can't hit it three, he stays, I'm telling you 286 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: it's like they're all sharing the same brain still, And 287 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: when you know it's like space jam, when when when 288 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: they when the bodies go out, the bodies go out, 289 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: all of them, all across the board. That's what happens. 290 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: Wow, it just took down the entire net work, just 291 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 3: like that, like someone flipped the switch. Julius Randall, your guy. 292 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: I mean telling you, man, that's that's how it works. 293 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: That's how it works. Then the Knicks, they they they 294 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: bring you up really high, and then they bring it 295 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: down really really low, just so so very low. 296 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 3: Well, but that's it's okay. I mean, you still have 297 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 3: at least three more chances. 298 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: See what I did for you there at least okay, yeah, 299 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: yeh yeah, yeah, yeah, I really I want to I 300 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: want to fast forward to tomorrow night when the game 301 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: is over and you show me what the final score is. 302 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: Neither the series is over or I'll feel a little 303 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: bit better going into the weekend. 304 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: I've got someone at the end of my block that 305 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 3: if I give them my credit card, they they say 306 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 3: they can tell me my future. 307 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: Okay, how does that?

But like, yeah, you 482 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 2: had to do this. This is close the Oregon provision 483 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 2: where yes, okay, so Ohio State really was penned two 484 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 2: and they lost to Michigan and you know, but still, 485 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: if you're Oregon, hey congrats, you're the number one overall 486 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: speed in the tournament and your first game is against 487 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: that Ohio State team. That's not that's just staying right. 488 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 2: You know, that's just there's no advantage to that one 489 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: big winner continues to be notre dame. You just go 490 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: kind of and you're gonna probably be in this thing, 491 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 2: especially when the expanded sixteen. But it's good. I mean, 492 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: you're still gonna get blowouts because again that you know, 493 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: the ACC and big twelve champs goa always gonna be 494 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: a little iffy. But it's fine. But not what they 495 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: need to do is they need to reced it after 496 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 2: this and yet and yet to hear a good argument 497 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: as to why you can't recedu because it's not like 498 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: anything that's given. When it comes to you know, who's 499 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: gonna win those first round games. You can kind of 500 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: guess that the five, six, seven seeds are gonna win, 501 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 2: but you know for sure, So there's no reason because 502 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: the second round is playing the bull bulk game and 503 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 2: that going to a specific you know, uh, college campus, 504 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: so it's not fair necessarily. Still, if somehow that eleven 505 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: seed beats the five, it beats the sixth, and the 506 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: three seed gets to the you know, gets to eleven, 507 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: and the number one seed gets the eight to nine, 508 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: but that's kind of I have that feeling a NCA 509 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: tournament too, it should receive But I digress. 510 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 3: What's going to be great about it, though, Pete is 511 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 3: you know, we always say a bubble teams for the 512 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 3: past tournament, it doesn't matter. But here we're talking tens 513 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 3: of millions of dollars if your team number seventeen eventually, 514 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 3: So this is next level stuff. The jockeying and politicking 515 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 3: that'll go on, it'll be brilliant. 516 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 2: How about how about the five? You know, because now 517 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: before and they said this to everyone, everyone was crying 518 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: about Notre Dame last year. Oh well, now not to 519 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 2: Dame is kind of screwed because they you know, they 520 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: can't get into the top four because they didn't want to, 521 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 2: can't win a conference championship. And I was like, wait 522 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 2: a minute, yeah, but they also aren't gonna lose Carsons 523 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: back to an injury because they're playing some meaningless championship game. 524 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: They're gonna get three weeks off the rest, and you 525 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: get a home game instead of like again and bore 526 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: out because what happened they did. Instead of playing in 527 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 2: a conference championship, Notre Dame got their first you know, 528 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 2: basically got that game at home against Indiana Merry Christmas, 529 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: and then who is Oregon's Who is Oregon's first round game? 530 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: Ohio State? So like now that goes away. So now 531 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 2: Notre Dame can be a top four seeds. They get 532 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: a bye, so then they get best of all possible 533 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: worlds because if you're Notre Dames and you're an eleven 534 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: to one NORN eight team and you're fishing the top four, 535 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: you get like like two months off basically before you 536 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 2: have to do anything real. So so yeah, so there's 537 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: a lot of different courts for this. 538 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: Pete futech ourgus college Footballnews dot com. All right, so 539 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: with this working out the way it is, right, we see, 540 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: this is gonna make a lot of people happy. The 541 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: next thing, I see the big problem is going to 542 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: be how do you deal with the teams that make 543 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: it to the conference championship and don't win, Because that's 544 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: gonna be the big sticky wicket, Like is that team 545 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: good enough? Hey, they got there. Maybe they weren't quite 546 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: as good enough, but they got there, but they lost. 547 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: So now they have three losses versus other teams that 548 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: have two losses. Like I think that's what expansion is 549 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: going to solve. If you get to sixteen teams, you 550 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: may have to do something like, hey, if you make 551 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: the conference championship games, all you do is make the 552 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: conference chap and you can get in, you know, to 553 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: the the to the playoffs. That might be the only 554 00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: way to do it. 555 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: At some point, you got to get to the point 556 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: of like when you get to we get to like 557 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: late you know, February and early March. Look, if you're 558 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: if you're basically if you're on any list of bubble teams, 559 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: you shouldn't be in, Like you really you can't make 560 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 2: a field of sixty eight and these sucks, and you 561 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: shouldn't be playing for the national championship. Same diff if 562 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 2: you're if you're the number seventeen on the seating range 563 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 2: of things, then you don't know you did something wrong. 564 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: You're not good enough, you're like the fifth best team 565 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: in the SEC, or you're you know, kind of the 566 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: team that lost the ACC championship. But I get it though, 567 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 2: I mean, the seating thing matters, and you're now really 568 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 2: kind it does matter to get that get that top 569 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 2: se So like your point, let's flip this roup forgetting 570 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: like the team like lose it. What happens if you're 571 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 2: like twelve and oh whatever, and you know you're in. 572 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: There's no chance you're you know you're good. You're Big 573 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 2: ten or SEC twelve and oh or eleven and one. 574 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 2: Then of course every coach is gonna be well, you 575 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 2: play for SEC championships around here, But really, why are you? 576 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you're gonna be in this tournament 577 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 2: no matter what, and maybe you don't want You're probably 578 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: no worse than a three seed, even if you'll lose, 579 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 2: you know, so like we're gonna get some more moments 580 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 2: where you're gonna load manager that those championis Capference championship games. 581 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 3: All right, Pete. The other story that's been circling in 582 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 3: the background. You mentioned Notre Dame a couple of times. 583 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 3: This thing with USC their deal expires at the end 584 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five. Are we just gonna have a 585 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: series of one year contracts until the college football landscape settles. 586 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: I think so, because it's starting to get way too brutal. 587 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 2: I mean, now you've got Notre Dame in Clemson, which 588 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: is becoming an annual thing now. So the a SEC, 589 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: which you know, Notredame has its friends with benefits to 590 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: deal with them. Now they kind of want to help 591 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 2: it up it a little more. Now they get a 592 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 2: key to a drawer or something, so they get they 593 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 2: get a little more in so that you're playing Clemson 594 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: every year. That's the thing because as you know, as 595 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 2: we've talked before, we'll talk again between now in the 596 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: next ninety eight days before the ball kicked off or 597 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: whatever it is, is that it's all about schedules and 598 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 2: then the acc you know, which is not the Big 599 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: Ten or the SEC or even the Big twelve. It 600 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 2: sucks if you get Notre Dame this year, you know, 601 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 2: because like if you get Clemson, that's bad. Obviously, you 602 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 2: know what that in Miami is gonna be really good. 603 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 2: But if you're one of those teams that gets a 604 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 2: quote non conference game against Notre Dame, that's that's that's 605 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: a raw deal. So now they kind of finalize that 606 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: a little bit. But yeah, for people like us, you know, 607 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 2: who are old and care about these sort of things. 608 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 2: The whole idea of Notre Dame us he is really 609 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: really cool. But as we've seen with past big time 610 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: rivalries that it's fine and then they don't happen, and 611 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: then you kind of forget and everything turned on to 612 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: be Okay, hey, Pete. 613 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: Lastly, obviously it's it's a it's a daily soap opera 614 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: with different twists and turns. Where are you right now 615 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: as to how things are gonna go with Bill Belichick 616 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: this year at North Carolina? 617 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: Oh you know my stance? You know, good for you, man, Hey, 618 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 2: if you're gonna be probably dead within the next fifteen 619 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: years or so, wow, why not knock it out? You know, 620 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: if you're that old and you've got twenty four year 621 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 2: old interested in you, good, good, go for him, a man, 622 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: not go be great. But here's the thing about this, 623 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: I never right now. It's the soap opera. It's also 624 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: lacious and it's all, you know, weird. But look at 625 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 2: that North Carolina schedule. Find me the loss. They're gonna 626 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 2: go to Clemson. That's like the one game that they 627 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: have a real nasty game. But this seems okay, it's 628 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: not that good. But if you're looking for who's this 629 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 2: year is SMU or who's this year is Indiana, well 630 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: we might be in mid November, and your question to 631 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: me is going to be, like, can Bill Belichick really 632 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: make the college football playoffs in his first year. They're 633 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: nine and one, and it's like all this other stuff 634 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 2: will kind of be forgotten about. 635 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Pete Feutech. That is at Pete 636 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: Feutech everything you need college footballnews dot com.

Have 638 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: Notre Dame in Wisconsin's game lambeau Field coming in twenty 639 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: twenty six, Pete, that's always not twenty because it's true. 640 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: See if we'll talk to you next week. Okay, Fox 641 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show, if my best friend 642 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: Mike Harmon. 643 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 5: They're sorry, Jason, I know. 644 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry too. I'm sorry too. They had a good run. 645 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: Still not great, Bob, not great. The day after not great, 646 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: not great. But we have more NBA coming up in 647 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: a few minutes. But the after effects the last twenty 648 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: four hours since the NFL announced a lot of big 649 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: changes coming to the league this year, right, and the 650 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: biggest one has been the Tush push lives Right. Yeah, 651 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: a bit a bit overrated story, Like I think that 652 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: this became got too much attention for what it is. 653 00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: It nearly passes to be banned, but it falls just short. 654 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: Twenty two to ten today already the Eagles have been 655 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: selling push on t shirts, which is just a T 656 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: shirt with a video of Hurts about to take the 657 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: snap in the tush push formation. Apparently Gritty Gritty is 658 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: running the Eagle social media account. Now, hey, just got 659 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: it all right here, Gritty's doing it. Gritty's got it. Yeah. 660 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 3: But they had a billboard up in Philadelphia like eight 661 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 3: minutes after the vote came. Now, oh yeah, but doesn't 662 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: it feel like, you know, there's so much attention to 663 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: being paid to this one, which is nothing Burger that 664 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 3: it's like a bill going through Congress, like, well, obviously 665 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 3: you should put a stop sign there, and then in 666 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: line like two point fifty two, there's some other thing 667 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 3: that gets approved in the process. Like what are they 668 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 3: trying to sneak in? What's the thing that's gonna kill 669 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 3: us all that's getting sneaked into the bill? Well, I'll 670 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 3: tell you what's what's killing them all? Because you bring up, 671 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 3: you bring up. The point with all of this is that, yes, 672 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 3: is it. It's a little bit overrated for a play that, yes, 673 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 3: two years ago almost unstoppable, a little bit less unstoppable 674 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 3: this year. Just ask the bill and Josh Allen, who 675 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 3: ran it really well, what happened? You need that first 676 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 3: down against the Chiefs. I mean, I know the official 677 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 3: came from the chief sideline to overrule it, but I 678 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: mean it's not absolutely unstoppable. It's a play that needs 679 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 3: fourth and one or less to to to execute. 680 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: I get you're mad about it, but you know, as 681 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: you just said, Philadelphia's already got custom gear on it. 682 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: There were uh billboards up about it right after the 683 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: decision came down. They get to keep it. Jeffrey Lourie 684 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 1: said in the in the meeting yesterday with the owners, 685 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: it's it's a I mean, he had a bad analogy, 686 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: but he said, it's it's either we get this band 687 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: because it's too good, or we get to continue to 688 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: run a play that we invented. That that that is 689 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: changing the NFL. What the NFL and what teams that 690 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: don't that, that don't want the tush push don't realize 691 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: and they need to, is that all winning teams have 692 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: that little special something about them that galvanizes them. Right. 693 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: Look back last year the Mets had Grimace and OMG, 694 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: now was that a really big deal? 695 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 4: No? 696 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: But it was it was something outside of the White 697 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: Life lines that Hey, everybody on the team can buy 698 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: into and everybody feels like it's us against them, right, 699 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: it's a great thing. Every every winning team has their thing, right, 700 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: Like when your White Sox won, they play don't stop 701 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: believing right in the in the co op, after every 702 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: single after every single win. In the locker room. Steve 703 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: Perry was singing with them when they won the World Series, Like, 704 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: all teams have their thing. The NFL leave the tush 705 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: push alone, because you are galvanizing the Eagles into making 706 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: this their identity, and you need anything spurs them on. Hey, 707 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: they hate us, they hate the tush push. They're rallying 708 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: around this and it's making them stronger. All good teams 709 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: have that thing. The NFL just let it go, Just 710 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: let it go, let them run it, stop it on 711 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: the field, whatever happens that let it go. Man, it's 712 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: not that big a play. It's not like on third 713 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: and three they can convert all the time. But you are. 714 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: You are empowering the Eagles, You're empowering the fan base, 715 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: everything around the team. You're making it crackle, and this 716 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,239 Speaker 1: spurs them on, and it's a thing that they have. 717 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: The Eagles have that they're able to use to their benefit, 718 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: and the NFL needs to realize that this is what's 719 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: helping the Eagles along and helping them with their excellence. 720 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: Every little bit you can use is an addition. 721 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 3: Well, that's just it, right. You got to find find 722 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 3: your wins, find your your motivation. Whatever it might be 723 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 3: a headline someone talking bad about you, just you didn't 724 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 3: like the look someone gave you as you walk down 725 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 3: the street. In this case, they they lean into this 726 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 3: and now their merchandise. Again, Hey, everybody gets paid. Maybe 727 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 3: maybe the rest of the league says, hey, we want 728 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 3: our cut. 729 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: But all of that to say, are. 730 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 3: We going to flag football eventually?
