Speaker 1: but Travis Kelsey showed up at Taylor Swifts concert and
Speaker 1: you're I learned about this about fifteen minutes ago. You
Speaker 1: saw the performance. What did you think?
Speaker 3: First of all, she's such a professional because she swallowed
Speaker 3: a European grasshop. I think she swallowed a buck. I'm shocked.
Speaker 3: This ain't the first time this happened. I'm sure that
Speaker 3: happened to singers before, but this is the first time.
Speaker 3: Somebody reported that while she was singing the song, a
Speaker 3: bug flew in her mouth, so she had to stop
Speaker 3: for a second spit the bug out. And like I said,
Speaker 3: the bug was European. Like I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's crazy. Like, but I'm like, why hasn't that happened before? Like,
Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of singers have swallowed bugs. So
Speaker 3: I didn't even take the Travis Kelce part out of him.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, Taylor's swallowed them a bug like this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's very Hunian.
Speaker 3: I wanted it, Michael Jackson, A prince swallow a bub
Speaker 3: What's the.
Speaker 4: Worst performance you've ever seen in a concert?
Speaker 2: The worst performance I've ever seen a.
Speaker 4: Could be one song, but someone just did not you
Speaker 4: know what? Right?
Speaker 3: This was not at a concert, and I just hope
Speaker 3: I don't get strugged down. I was at church, okay, okay,
Speaker 3: and this this lady got up and she was like,
Speaker 3: you know, crazy, Lord, if she wanted to talk, then
Speaker 3: she just started singing this little light of mind. And
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not the type person that can hold
Speaker 3: things in, and she just butchered it. Talk and all
Speaker 3: you can hear in the back, you know, everybody's quiet,
Speaker 3: trying to show respect, and you just hit me. Ah, like,
Speaker 3: I just can't hold it because I'm like somebody laughing
Speaker 3: out loud.
Speaker 2: Lord, tell her to stop singing. That's what you want
Speaker 2: to do? What about you?
Speaker 4: I saw Casey and Jojo open up on time. Let
Speaker 4: me tell you something. First of all, these catchers so
Speaker 4: out of it.
Speaker 2: Hey. First of all, they got a concert up here,
Speaker 2: you know that, right, it's.
Speaker 4: Coming to MGM, they are.
Speaker 1: Yes, these guys came out and these suits had to
Speaker 1: be though crowl because I think I think it was
Speaker 1: Casey that like did this and to me, that's that suit.
Speaker 1: And they just came off and they were half naked.
Speaker 1: And these are brothers, as we know, right, we do. So,
Speaker 1: I mean at the end they're singing all My life right,
Speaker 1: that's their banger, right right, So this is you know,
Speaker 1: their hit song outside of Jodasy And so they turned
Speaker 1: to each other and Casey's like, oh my life, but
Speaker 1: does someone like you looks at this. They started holding
Speaker 1: hands and then the hug in the middle of the stage,
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, don't worry.
Speaker 3: About you know, you came to a Washington game, smooth,
Speaker 3: don't worry about their manus.
Speaker 4: We were looking at each other like, what are you
Speaker 4: gonna do?
Speaker 2: Steal what it is? It happens to the best of them.
Speaker 4: It was so funny, man, it.
Speaker 1: Happens to the best of So again, we're talking NFL
Speaker 1: off season some of the things that we've seen in
Speaker 1: the headlines and something we have seen.
Speaker 4: They weren't naked like Casey and Jojo work, but Joe
Speaker 4: Burrow and Justin Jefferson had.
Speaker 1: On some interesting clothes at the Vogue Fashion Show.
Speaker 4: Did you see this? It's like they were wearing the
Speaker 4: jobs Joe, don't.
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow looks like the dude on the front of
Speaker 3: every magazine at.
Speaker 2: The grocery store.
Speaker 4: He's a good looking dude. When I say, just he
Speaker 4: just got the.
Speaker 3: Little the bread pitch jo line when he gets up
Speaker 3: and his hair. You know, some guys just got this
Speaker 3: inner swag that you cannot run from. So at the
Speaker 3: end of the day, I'm never mad when guys show
Speaker 3: they swag through, they fashion right, because.
Speaker 2: Fashion what makes us different.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 2: It can make the same person will feel different, look different.
Speaker 2: So no, I love Joe berrowswag. I love Justin Jaiff.
Speaker 3: Then these guys went to collegegether. They won't stop being friends.
Speaker 3: That's your NFL. Like I tell people, we don't stop
Speaker 3: being friends because we play for a different team. We're
Speaker 3: still friends and we're still going through this thing together.
Speaker 4: And aren't you more bonded than you are?
Speaker 1: Not necessarily NFL, but you're growing together, which is a
Speaker 1: huge part of why you're always going to have that bond.
Speaker 3: And nobody actually understands what you're going through mentally, personally
Speaker 3: and everyday dated life like a person that's going through
Speaker 3: the same exact thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, so that's why we tend to gravitate toys.
Speaker 3: And you ask any X player man what you miss
Speaker 3: about the league. First thing come out. They always the
Speaker 3: locker room because them guys understand you on the level
Speaker 3: your wife might not even understand you.
Speaker 1: No, I get that absolutely now when you think about
Speaker 1: I remember when you played, you weren't someone who.
Speaker 4: You weren't outlandish with the way that you dressed. I'm
Speaker 4: very conservative, kind of like you're always put together, though I'm.
Speaker 2: Always put together, but I'm always wane of them.
Speaker 3: I think the man makes the clothes, yes, not the
Speaker 3: clothes make the maan. So I feel like I could
Speaker 3: wear the same I fit somebody else wearing, I could.
Speaker 4: Wear it better.
Speaker 3: Yes, the swag is just there. You can't hide swag.
Speaker 3: They're like they say, you can't hide money, you can't
Speaker 3: hide swag. So I was one of them people I
Speaker 3: always make But I did have the Joe name it
Speaker 3: for Coke. I was just he was the original, right,
Speaker 3: come on, come on, Joe, Joe Willy name it on
Speaker 3: the sidelines. First of all, Joe Willey walked so I
Speaker 3: could run. Do you not understand that? So he was
Speaker 3: the first swag dude. He was the first athlete that
Speaker 3: was like, you know what, I'm finna party all night,
Speaker 3: loan all right, and I see you in the morning
Speaker 3: for the game.
Speaker 1: So when you played, I think, recent example, Cam Newton's
Speaker 1: probably I know he's out the league now, but he
Speaker 1: was always dressed in something kind of funky when you played.
Speaker 1: Was there someone even now recently who whenever they show up,
Speaker 1: You're like.
Speaker 4: Man, that guy's always on point.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: I used to give out this award, right okay, And.
Speaker 3: Players used to come like every away games, we have
Speaker 3: to wear suits, all right.
Speaker 2: And I used to give out this war called the
Speaker 2: dead Man's Suit of War.
Speaker 3: And I used to get this out because I used
Speaker 3: to tell the players just because you got money don't
Speaker 3: mean you got style. Absolutely, So I used to tell
Speaker 3: him I'm gonna give a ward out every week for
Speaker 3: deep to the terrist suit game on the team. I'd
Speaker 3: be like, yeah, you can dug somebody up out of
Speaker 3: their casket and stole they suit.
Speaker 2: And guys used to.
Speaker 3: Come to my locker before we travel and be like, hey, man,
Speaker 3: what this suit look like?
Speaker 2: So I can tell you so I can give him
Speaker 2: a y nay. So guys walk through. Now my boy,
Speaker 2: Drake Cardle, I love Drake.
Speaker 4: That's my dude.
Speaker 3: He has a fruneral home full of dead Men suit
Speaker 3: and you know they cut the back out of dead
Speaker 3: Man so they don't even have to back it. Drake Carter, Oh,
Speaker 3: I gotta get this with Clint Porters. Toop was more
Speaker 3: see p the type guy walk in the store and
Speaker 3: he won't get it because he think it looks good.
Speaker 2: He'll get it because he think nobody else would get it.
Speaker 4: Okay, I got you.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: He would wear the stuff that none of us even
Speaker 3: dare wear like meaning I'm not wearing that like he
Speaker 3: would wear it, and I'll never forget this. I would
Speaker 3: give that the dead Man's Suit Award and Lavarni's codes.
Speaker 3: Walk through the duty and he has on a full
Speaker 3: Sensay suit.
Speaker 2: Nah no, no, a karate suits, a real sense suit.
Speaker 2: He got on the shoes. We were like, what are
Speaker 2: we missing something? He's like, no, man, it's fresh. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: no it's not.
Speaker 3: No, it's not like I'm the voice of reasoning, yes,
Speaker 3: like I always try to be the voice of reasoning.
Speaker 3: But no, it has been some ugly suit game on
Speaker 3: this team. All right, on this team, I can't speak
Speaker 3: for under locker room. And I went to Minnesota for
Speaker 3: two years. There was some terrible suits up there too.
Speaker 2: Just because your man has money does not give him.
Speaker 4: Style, Lavernius, Why you wearing a hat that Matt suit?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's going on? I thought he was a superhero.
Speaker 3: I like, this is not Halloween, dude, what you're doing?

Speaker 4: Vis at artis dot.
Speaker 1: Com to learn more about how they can help your
Speaker 1: business manage waste more responsibly.
Speaker 4: So guys that have swag, yeah, generally receivers. They like
Speaker 4: to swag it up.
Speaker 1: They always do Diva and then tight ends are known
Speaker 1: as more of the gritty blue cocks. Blue collar, right, lunch, pale, hard,
Speaker 1: hated kind of guys. So AJ Brown tweeted a few
Speaker 1: days ago. Your tight ends always having meetups? Right, they
Speaker 1: have a tight end universe. These guys are all together.
Speaker 1: Why is it.
Speaker 4: Wide receivers can't do this? Are they too diva esque?
Speaker 4: Are they too pretty? What is it about a receiver?
Speaker 2: Just said it? You just said the DB's we mount
Speaker 2: up and say, you know what.
Speaker 3: We got to stop the EVA empio co wire receivers.
Speaker 2: Let's share our tricks to the trade.
Speaker 3: Tight ends get together, say you know what, we need
Speaker 3: to get paid more money. Let's sharpen our skills together.
Speaker 3: Past rush would be like, you know what, we want
Speaker 3: all y'all to get paid, Let's share.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Not wide receivers, they're not sharing anything. They all want
Speaker 3: to be that one dude. They all want to be
Speaker 3: the dude. Yes, it's like trying to start an R
Speaker 3: and B group five.
Speaker 2: You can't like somebody has.
Speaker 3: It's like being a Jackson five and it's five michaels like.
Speaker 4: It's not gonna work, right, It's just not. Tito's like
Speaker 4: I want to sing, Tito, go back there and play
Speaker 4: the bass, like.
Speaker 3: We could walk past Tito and witness right now, I
Speaker 3: wouldn't know who Tito was. The thing about it is
Speaker 3: the wire receivers. Like they say, it's like being the
Speaker 3: king of restaurants.
Speaker 2: It can only be it can only be one. Yes,
Speaker 2: it can only be one.
Speaker 3: And I don't see a time where they all will
Speaker 3: ever get together.
Speaker 2: I don't hear who starts the line off like little small.
Speaker 3: Thing that they just won't agree with that we agree with.
Speaker 3: Like if we all DB's out together and were like,
Speaker 3: all right, yeah, listen, start, it's like twenty of us.
Speaker 3: We don't care who starts to line. Let's just start
Speaker 3: the line. I know for a fact the wires won't
Speaker 3: get anything dumb because whoever gonna be first in their
Speaker 3: line is decides everything.
Speaker 4: Oh those guys, if you're tied in to be like,
Speaker 4: go ahead, man, I want to learn from you. I
Speaker 4: want to watch you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm watching kills right yeah.
Speaker 1: Stefan Dickson be like y'all, y'all just get behind me,
Speaker 1: And Justin Jefferson be like, hey, everyone get behind me.
Speaker 2: I'm not get behind anybody. They go your conversation right there.
Speaker 3: This how it starts, this, how it ends, this, where
Speaker 3: is at like you can't see step Fund.
Speaker 2: They like, Stephan, why did you running rout? Because I
Speaker 2: don't want you to see how I run it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're gonna run it like that.
Speaker 2: It's true though, that's damn that's who they are.
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is this. If you've ever went shopping
Speaker 3: with a wide receiver, you know that they're devas. Oh,
Speaker 3: if you ever go shopping with them. Now you can
Speaker 3: meet your your blue collar guys, like your Tyry Mclains,
Speaker 3: your Satana Moss who kind of been they kind of
Speaker 3: got their own little like your James Thrashes of the world.
Speaker 3: These guys don't care about all that other stuff. And
Speaker 3: that's why Tanna say in Miami, him Andre Johnson, all.
Speaker 2: Those guys they met back up and they worked out
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have any egos, but wide receivers an
Speaker 3: ego drift. Think about it, what other position on the
Speaker 3: field makes a touchdown and pulls a shopping at they saw?
Speaker 3: Also true, who sets a cell phone under the gold post?
Speaker 3: Just in case I get to the eos man? Just
Speaker 3: receivers who is selling theyself more than any position like
Speaker 3: one receiver.
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day. They cannot share
Speaker 2: because they only child mentality.
Speaker 4: And if they don't get enough touches.
Speaker 2: Then somebody gotta pay. Exactly, somebody got pay. They gonna nag,
Speaker 2: they gonna You ain't never.
Speaker 3: Seen me that I ain't got enough picks like you
Speaker 3: don't like. No, it'll happen, It'll come to you. But no,
Speaker 3: I don't ever see them getting together. I don't see it.
Speaker 3: It's a nice thought, but they're not gonna get together.

Speaker 4: Oh I like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna go back out to the phone lines.
Speaker 1: In fact, we're gonna go to the video lines and
Speaker 1: bring in Ryan McGee of Marty McGee and the SEC Network.
Speaker 2: We all understand each other, Southerners.
Speaker 1: Let's get down to it because now we got football
Speaker 1: season coming up. Training camp starts in around a month there,
Speaker 1: maybe a little overall month. We got college football as well,
Speaker 1: so we have a lot to talk about with Ryan
Speaker 1: McGee from the SEC Networks Marty McGee, ESPN Senior writer.
Speaker 1: He does a little bit of everything. He knows a
Speaker 1: lot about a lot. So Rian, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 1: And let's start in the SEC, particularly with a certain
Speaker 1: quarterback here in DC and Jade Daniels who obviously played
Speaker 1: LSU Heisman Trophy wonder, but what did you see in
Speaker 1: your time covering him in the SEC that you think
Speaker 1: will make him a good pro?
Speaker 6: So you guys know there's guys with Swiger, right, yep.
Speaker 6: And there's guys who can play, and a lot of
Speaker 6: times the guys with the swagger aren't necessarily the guys
Speaker 6: who can play, you know.
Speaker 5: But but he's both.
Speaker 6: And you know, it's interesting because the way he carries
Speaker 6: himself is as someone who's been there before. But when
Speaker 6: you don't see behind the scenes how hard he works.
Speaker 5: You know. I've known Brian Kelly a long time.
Speaker 6: Of course, the head coach lsu is at Notre Dame forever,
Speaker 6: and what BK talks about all the time is, you know,
Speaker 6: the quarterback you want is when everybody shows up to
Speaker 6: watch film, he's already been there for two hours. And
Speaker 6: when everybody's done working out and they're going out to eat,
Speaker 6: where's Jaden's He's working out still, you know. And so
Speaker 6: he's that guy. And if you look at the numbers,
Speaker 6: and you look and see him going from like what's
Speaker 6: seventeen to forty touchdowns or whatever familiar to year, and
Speaker 6: it's not just that, but it's it's the subtle stuff
Speaker 6: that I don't know if casual football fans get, was
Speaker 6: just you know, layering, right, and the numbers of the
Speaker 6: throwing the ball, you know, fifteen to twenty twenty to
Speaker 6: twenty five. It's just he's just smart and oh, by
Speaker 6: the way, he's really big and can run. So I
Speaker 6: just what I like about him is but it's also respectful,
Speaker 6: you know, as as as as an older member of
Speaker 6: the media. Now, when I talk to these guys, I
Speaker 6: like them. See how they they operate in the room,
Speaker 6: particularly when they get into a room with you know,
Speaker 6: legends from your school at LSU or arriving for camp
Speaker 6: and you're dealing with NFL veterans. You know, how do
Speaker 6: you handle them when you get in the room. So
Speaker 6: you come in letting them know I think I could
Speaker 6: be the guy, but you're also respectful of who they are.
Speaker 6: So that's a really long way of saying I like him.
Speaker 6: He's one of my favorite players I've ever covered, and
Speaker 6: I'm I'm rooting for him quite frankly, I am.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna need you to play Devin's advocate
Speaker 2: right here.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Everybody like to ask about the good things. Tell me
Speaker 3: some things that you saw him in school that you say,
Speaker 3: you know what, I think you need to polish this
Speaker 3: up on the next level.
Speaker 2: I get better at that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, to me, there were times where he would
Speaker 6: say something like declaring I'm gonna I won't.
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna the Houser trophy.
Speaker 6: That didn't happen a lot, you know, And and there
Speaker 6: are times where you kind of catch your breath like
Speaker 6: all right, now great, but then you back it up.
Speaker 6: It's hard for me to be mad at you. But
Speaker 6: but to me, it's it's understanding what that swagger is,
Speaker 6: Understanding when it's time to check it and when it's not.
Speaker 6: And there were a couple of moments when you felt
Speaker 6: like he's telling the line, but then he would really
Speaker 6: live back in. So you know, I'd love to give
Speaker 6: you some big, long list of I heard it goes
Speaker 6: out all the time, or you know whatever, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't have that and and and it's to me,
Speaker 6: that's that's the best comment I can give a kid.
Speaker 2: They say, is everything right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, right? So I believe they can.
Speaker 5: Find stuff on me. By the way, so that's why I.
Speaker 3: Know, Well, you know, your friend Smoot used to run
Speaker 3: through the sec so then you know they can find things.
Speaker 5: I heard the stories.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 4: You're you're a vault, correct I am?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, So your vault fred within Mississippi State, but I
Speaker 1: went to Texas. So this is a new era for
Speaker 1: the SEC coming up in the fall. Yeah, yes, this
Speaker 1: is sort of a macro view. But how do you
Speaker 1: see things shaking out? Because man, this conference is gonna
Speaker 1: be just unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's it's a it's a it's a crazy time.
Speaker 6: You know, divisions are going away, which I have mixed
Speaker 6: feelings about, you know, as I want them to make
Speaker 6: sure they still protect the rivalries, right, I mean, it's
Speaker 6: a Tennessee alum. I want to make sure that the
Speaker 6: third Saturday in October remains that. You know, that everybody's
Speaker 6: playing who they've always played. But it's gonna be a
Speaker 6: wild year because listen, Georgia's reloaded.
Speaker 5: They're mad.
Speaker 6: You know, the reality is they came within an eyelash
Speaker 6: of making the Costball playoff again last year. They're angry
Speaker 6: that they did not. They still think they should have
Speaker 6: been in it. They're loaded. Alabama's going through that. We
Speaker 6: have now entered the post Nick saban era and everyone
Speaker 6: has been talking right right for fifteen years. Everybody's like,
Speaker 6: what's life gonna be like once that guy freaking retires
Speaker 6: when now he's retired, and so there. I love Kaitlyn
Speaker 6: de Bor, you know, who came from Washington. But they're
Speaker 6: gonna be through a transition. So you can feel everyone thinking,
Speaker 6: all right, now, we got to take care of business.
Speaker 6: And oh, by the way, Oklahoma and Texas are playing
Speaker 6: in the conference now, so it's it's a wild time.
Speaker 6: But the reality is George is better. We'll see what
Speaker 6: they do with that, better than everyone in the conference.
Speaker 6: But that race for number two is wide open.
Speaker 3: Speaking of the races number two, everybody high on Texas
Speaker 3: and I know Jinx is how his Texas on hou.
Speaker 3: How do you think the transition for Texas and Oklahoma
Speaker 3: because this is then between the Big twelve where you're
Speaker 3: playing you know, you might have the Red River shootout,
Speaker 3: but then you got three or four games where you
Speaker 3: can kind of take the week off. How do you
Speaker 3: think they would fare in the SEC weekend and week out?
Speaker 5: Well, that's it, I mean, that's everything.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: I grew up so thirty years ago, right, I grew
Speaker 6: up in North Carolina, grew up on Tobacco Road. You know,
Speaker 6: I'm watching NC State in North Carolina, and you know,
Speaker 6: good but not great programs. Then I went to Tennessee.
Speaker 6: Mississippi State came in our fresh my freshman year, and
Speaker 6: I remember calling home and going, this is they treated
Speaker 6: this like the Orange Bowl, Like these guys are freaking out,
Speaker 6: like this is Mississippi State, but this is But this
Speaker 6: is what the conference is, right, And there are no
Speaker 6: weekends off. There aren't and and I think going forward
Speaker 6: in this expanded playoff era, there's even fewer weekends off.
Speaker 6: You're not gonna be able to schedule homecoming like you
Speaker 6: used to, right, You're not gonna be able to go
Speaker 6: get an FCS school and do whatever. So it's gonna
Speaker 6: be interesting, I believe. And I'm not saying this just
Speaker 6: to make you buy mad. I think Oklahoma is kind
Speaker 6: of the secret deal in this because everyone saw about
Speaker 6: Texas and everyone's obsessed with Texas and everyone you know,
Speaker 6: Texas is just in the playoff all those things. But
Speaker 6: Norman is one of my favorite places to go to
Speaker 6: a college football game. You know, I was on Baker
Speaker 6: Mayfield Watch. I was there all the time when Baker
Speaker 6: was there. And so I think that no one's talking
Speaker 6: enough about the fact that going to games at Norman
Speaker 6: is awesome and the Red River rivalry being a part
Speaker 6: of the conference. But it's Texas's problem is gonna be
Speaker 6: They've always been the big room when it comes to meetings,
Speaker 6: right and decisions. When they walk into the room and
Speaker 6: Alabama sitting there and George is sitting there, and Tennessee's
Speaker 6: sitting there, and Texas A and m is sitting there,
Speaker 6: they're not gonna care what Texas has to say. They'll
Speaker 6: listen to them, but it's not they don't have five
Speaker 6: more votes than everyone else. So that a USC going
Speaker 6: to the Big ten? How are they gonna sit in
Speaker 6: the room and Michigan Ohio stated are gonna be like, Okay, welcome,
Speaker 6: we don't really care what you want to do right
Speaker 6: now because we're Misschigan Ohio State.
Speaker 5: That's the part of all this that I can't wait
Speaker 5: to see.
Speaker 1: Well, as part of the college football conversation, we've heard
Speaker 1: the NCAA toss out the idea that walk On's maybe
Speaker 1: should be eliminated from college football partially because of nil,
Speaker 1: which I think would.
Speaker 4: Just want to destroy part of the fabric of the game.
Speaker 4: Am I off here?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a weird time right now. And what I
Speaker 6: say all the time is is. I love Saturday football.
Speaker 6: I love Sunday football, but I like the fact that
Speaker 6: the NFL looks like the NFL and the college football
Speaker 6: looks like college football.
Speaker 5: And when you start like os fall is going to have.
Speaker 6: A two minute warning, right, Uh, they've already changed the
Speaker 6: way that stop the clock, you know on first downs.
Speaker 6: You know they're getting the MIC's in the helmets. It's
Speaker 6: just subtle stuff, you know, expanded playoffs. This it's going
Speaker 6: to start in August, it's going to end to end
Speaker 6: of January. Why are you trying to lock the NFL.
Speaker 6: The NFL is awesome, but let them be them and
Speaker 6: let college be college. And so those are the things
Speaker 6: like what you're talking about that I worry. As long
Speaker 6: as the games feel the same on Saturday, they'll be okay.
Speaker 6: But the more you tweak it, and the more you
Speaker 6: tweak it, and the more you tweak it and make
Speaker 6: it feel like the NFL because it's free agency now, right,
Speaker 6: I mean, it's we're going we're going to perhaps one
Speaker 6: day an NFC AFC type situation. Why you know you're unique,
Speaker 6: so stay unique. The NFL is unique. The NFL hadn't
Speaker 6: change your thing to be about college They've had a
Speaker 6: lot of chances over the years, they won't do it
Speaker 6: so because they want to be them.
Speaker 5: So that I want.
Speaker 6: To make sure that the games stay unique, because that's
Speaker 6: why we love them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm with you on that one because as
Speaker 3: a guy that was in that college locker room, we
Speaker 3: watched those guys that walk on and we yes, we like,
Speaker 3: like we get a passion for them. Like it's like
Speaker 3: we don't get Santana Moss in the NFL out rudy rulings.
Speaker 3: We don't get these guys without being able to walk on.
Speaker 2: So I think it's the heart, the heartbeat.
Speaker 3: Like it's like everybody wants to be the star of
Speaker 3: a college team, but to say you was a part
Speaker 3: of a team, to me is everything. Not it don't
Speaker 3: matter how many games we won, but to be a
Speaker 3: teammate with some of them guys, I think that's the
Speaker 3: fabric of college football.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you guys know how valuable they are. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know, the Scout Team, Scout Team, man and the
Speaker 6: Scout Team. Most of those half of us guys walk ons,
Speaker 6: and so it's you know, and they work so hard
Speaker 6: to learn the offense and.
Speaker 5: To learn the defense and the opponents is coming up.
Speaker 6: When I was a student at Tennessee, uh you know
Speaker 6: a manion years ago, I worked for the football team
Speaker 6: in the video office, and so I would come in
Speaker 6: for two days in August and they would just put
Speaker 6: us in the dorm and I would room with walk ons.
Speaker 6: And I can tell you that, guys, we're working harder
Speaker 6: anybody else. But Baker Mayfield, who I just mentioned, was
Speaker 6: walking a couple of times. Imagine college football, Imagine the
Speaker 6: NFL without Baker Mayfield, you know, And if you don't
Speaker 6: give him the opportunity to get in the car with
Speaker 6: his mom or drive to Lubbock and try to walk
Speaker 6: on because no one else would give him a chance,
Speaker 6: well then I just taking away those stories. I mean,
Speaker 6: Brian Bullsworth of Arkansas, you mentioned Rudy. I know Notre
Speaker 6: Dame fans get divided about Rudy. I spent a whole
Speaker 6: day with Rudy one time in Las Vegas. I can't
Speaker 6: imagine being a football fan and not knowing who Rudy
Speaker 6: Rudy was. So it just again, if you start messing
Speaker 6: with the fabric of the game, and to me, red
Speaker 6: shirt or how great are this videos? That we all
Speaker 6: love of the Red Shirt guys getting their scholarship because
Speaker 6: they earned it. I can't imagine not having that. I
Speaker 6: just think that's dumb.
Speaker 1: Yep, Ryan, I saw you on Pat McAfee just a
Speaker 1: few days ago and they asked you to throw a
Speaker 1: football hit the target so that some fans will win
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars and with all of that pressure on.
Speaker 4: Yea, absolutely, so tell us about that experience.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you just uh, it was like if you've seen
Speaker 6: the movie Old School when Frank the tank blacks out
Speaker 6: during Yeah. Yeah, I had no idea that was coming,
Speaker 6: you know. So the Thunderdome is a church. It's an
Speaker 6: old church in the suburbs of Indianapolis, and it was
Speaker 6: the church of what they weren't using anymore. Pat bought
Speaker 6: it turned out. But the place is big, like that's
Speaker 6: a big floor. But yeah, they were making fun of me.
Speaker 6: I took like three steps and I'm left handed, and
Speaker 6: they started calling me Steve Young and all that stuff.
Speaker 6: But I know, but I'm retired by the way I
Speaker 6: nailed it. I mean air melt it, you know, and
Speaker 6: in cornhole will call it airmand I air melt it
Speaker 6: went right in and I was like, and I now,
Speaker 6: I told padam never doing that again.
Speaker 5: I don't care if you ever have me back. I
Speaker 5: ain't doing it.
Speaker 6: I'm one for one and I'm retiring. Uh, I'm retiring
Speaker 6: with my gold medal.
Speaker 3: By the way, how fun is it to just be
Speaker 3: around Pat? I got chance to play against Pat while
Speaker 3: I was in the NFL. And you know, kickers don't
Speaker 3: usually have the most upbeat personalities and punters. Now, how
Speaker 3: fun is Pat McAfee. I love his energy. I always have.
Speaker 3: How about yourself?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and listen, all kickers from a different planet, we
Speaker 6: can all agree on that, right, Yea?
Speaker 5: They owned that.
Speaker 6: I mean we had got a Tennessee when I was
Speaker 6: there in the John Becksport, never missed an extra point,
Speaker 6: pretty sextra points.
Speaker 5: You ever saw? John had snakes, you know.
Speaker 6: In his apartment, Like they're just they're just different dudes, right,
Speaker 6: But he's now he's the best.
Speaker 5: I just the big thing was I was there.
Speaker 6: It was Indian applets to cover the Napolis five hundred,
Speaker 6: which I cover motorsports, and so I'm at the racetrack.
Speaker 6: I drive up to do the show and those guys
Speaker 6: are the best. I went to the Pacers Celtics playoff
Speaker 6: game whether the next night, and it was They're just
Speaker 6: they treated me right, and it was but.
Speaker 5: They're uniquely them.
Speaker 6: But yeah, Patt has All kickers are weird, but Pat
Speaker 6: has taken it to a much higher and or more
Speaker 6: entertaining level.
Speaker 3: Now, speaking of the NY five hundred, you know, I'm
Speaker 3: a big Gibbs racing guy. You know, I'm a big
Speaker 3: Joe Gibbs. I got that definitely. Could you tell us
Speaker 3: what you saw at the Indy five hundred?
Speaker 2: How was it?
Speaker 3: And most people don't know I have been in pitt
Speaker 3: roll because of Coach Gibbs. Uh, it's loud, it's thunderous,
Speaker 3: and that pit crew they are athletes.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, they know they are.
Speaker 6: And that's changed a lot, you know, at Indy and
Speaker 6: then so I did the double that day. I was
Speaker 6: with the race car darn and Kyle Larson who did
Speaker 6: the Indy five hundred, and then he did the Coach
Speaker 6: Cola six hundred down in Charlotte and in the same
Speaker 6: day tried to But yeah, one of the biggest changes
Speaker 6: when it comes to NASCAR, IndyCar, any of it since.
Speaker 5: I started covering it, you know, twenty five years ago.
Speaker 6: Is that it used to be the guys who worked
Speaker 6: in the shop, the mechanics would also pit the car
Speaker 6: on the weekends. And I remember Dale Jarrett, who drove
Speaker 6: for Joe Gibbs, had a pit crew and they called
Speaker 6: him the over the belt game because you guys have
Speaker 6: big bellies. They drink barrel Friday night, Saturday night and
Speaker 6: then go pitt the car. But now you walk up
Speaker 6: down to Pitt Lane. Everyone played Coss football.
Speaker 5: Everyone.
Speaker 6: I mean guys who played for Nick Saban, guys who
Speaker 6: played for Dublis Winny and Clemson. I mean, you want
Speaker 6: guys who played at apt State. You walk up and
Speaker 6: down and it is athletes because they figured out there's
Speaker 6: a competitive advantage to have an athletes. And you guys know,
Speaker 6: when you're done playing, whether you play college football, pro football,
Speaker 6: you know, basketball, whatever, you're itching for competition. So it
Speaker 6: was not hard when they started. They literally would hold
Speaker 6: open tryouts. They'd have scouts like the NFL Draft, they
Speaker 6: have scouts guys that the trainers for most of these
Speaker 6: these teams. Of course, you know, coach Gibs brought his
Speaker 6: NFL kind of business model with him, the racing and
Speaker 6: these they would have talent scouts to go out and
Speaker 6: watch small college football games and you know, in the
Speaker 6: highest level and say, you're probably not gonna play in
Speaker 6: the NFL, but if you just want to stay in
Speaker 6: sports once you come, try to be a tire changer.
Speaker 6: And so it's had a huge effect. But it also
Speaker 6: again the fact guys will Pit Lane are gone. I
Speaker 6: walk down there now and it's like, you know, it's
Speaker 6: like I'm on the sideline.
Speaker 3: Away with the fan guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, if you like NASCAR, good chance you probably like
Speaker 1: country music as well. And you were at CMA Fest recently,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to ask you about some of the
Speaker 1: country artists that you've met and who's your favorite, maybe
Speaker 1: just someone that you've interacted with.
Speaker 4: You got a just a great experience with oh we.
Speaker 6: So it was funny because there was kind of this line, right,
Speaker 6: I mean, I love country music, but I don't listen
Speaker 6: to a lot of new stuff.
Speaker 5: You know, I listened. I listened to the new stuff
Speaker 5: of the old guys, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, all that.
Speaker 6: But but Luke Luke Luke Bryan came in to talk
Speaker 6: to us, and Marty and Marty I both known Luke
Speaker 6: through NASCAR stuff. And that guy is the best man.
Speaker 6: He's he is if you ever watch American Idol, that's exactly.
Speaker 5: Who he is. That's just who he is. That's just
Speaker 5: who he's gonna be.
Speaker 6: But you know, uh talking to Ward Treaty, Uh that
Speaker 6: the couple that is kind of changing, I mean literally
Speaker 6: changing the face of country music right now. And they
Speaker 6: were about to walk out there to a sellout crowd
Speaker 6: at Nissan Stadium. But yeah, we but but then we
Speaker 6: had the young ones come in and Dasha and like Breeland.
Speaker 6: They were awesome, but the way that they became country
Speaker 6: music stars and got country music deals was like through TikTok.
Speaker 6: And then you know, we're talking to Thomas Rhett, who
Speaker 6: was old school, got on the bus, went to Nashville,
Speaker 6: was his guitar, grinded it out, wrote songs and became
Speaker 6: a star. It was interesting. It's kind of like you
Speaker 6: know football, you know, the way that you did it
Speaker 6: twenty years ago is not the way you do it now.
Speaker 6: The way you work out, the way you're scouted, the
Speaker 6: way you're drafted, the way you're signed, and so it
Speaker 6: was really interesting to talk to the young people.
Speaker 5: But so.
Speaker 6: Luke Brian tells us this story. Tim Tebow has this
Speaker 6: heisman trophy, and Tim does this amazing thing where you
Speaker 6: can at this big charity auction at Tim's you can
Speaker 6: keep Tim's trophy for like six months, just do whatever
Speaker 6: you want with it, but all the money goes to
Speaker 6: Tim's foundation. And so Luke Brian, you know, paid a
Speaker 6: big amount of money and had Tim's heisman with him
Speaker 6: and an a major League baseball player who shall remain nameless.
Speaker 5: His last name is La Roche.
Speaker 6: He was staying with Luke and saw the massive like box,
Speaker 6: like this big shipping container that the heisman comes in.
Speaker 6: And apparently La Roche has this habit of doodling on stuff,
Speaker 6: like with a sharpie and he likes to draw uh
Speaker 6: anatomical part you can see like a and apparently he
Speaker 6: covered Tim Tebow's the box that Tim Tebow's heisman came
Speaker 6: in with this duel, it's Tim Tebow.
Speaker 2: It goes out.
Speaker 6: So Luke just tells the story just like whatever, like
Speaker 6: any old story. But he's he's the best man. And
Speaker 6: Marty and I shot a commercial a couple of years
Speaker 6: with Luke Combs, who wasn't on our CN based vecial,
Speaker 6: but that guy, I mean he's he's in North Carolinia
Speaker 6: like me. You know, he went to out state. Was
Speaker 6: a bouncer at the door at this country music club
Speaker 6: and their boon and it's just cool to meet these guys.
Speaker 6: It's like out of body experience.
Speaker 3: First of all, to me, a bouncer at country at
Speaker 3: country music club.
Speaker 2: You know, he know how put them dukes up? My Yeah.
Speaker 3: My favorite guy that I got to meet was Willy
Speaker 3: Nelson in a rodeo in Mississippi. Now y'all know how
Speaker 3: that went now, But I thought, I just thought Willie
Speaker 3: was sought of the earth because as a person that
Speaker 3: has made it to the pinnacle of the job that
Speaker 3: I want to be, I made sure I kept my
Speaker 3: feet on the ground.
Speaker 2: Like he showed me that at an early age.
Speaker 3: No matter how how much you succeed and how much
Speaker 3: you do, you still got to be a real person
Speaker 3: in Willing Nelson.
Speaker 2: I get profitted Willing Nelson.
Speaker 6: At the time, it's the biggest compliment. Yeah, biggest call
Speaker 6: can't give anyone, is uh. When I worked at ESPN
Speaker 6: a whole life, Bob Lee, the legendary you know broadcaster.
Speaker 6: He used to talk about red light fever and how
Speaker 6: you're being. Being famous will change a person. You know,
Speaker 6: being on TV will change a person. That red light
Speaker 6: that comes on the camera you're on TV. And the
Speaker 6: biggest compliment I can give an athlete, an actor, a musician,
Speaker 6: you know someone in my business is are you? Are
Speaker 6: you the same person now that you are or performed?
Speaker 6: But I knew who you were and uh and and
Speaker 6: you know Will it WILLI I'll get this sinceity Will
Speaker 6: has money and Will is famous, but I get the
Speaker 6: sincere impression that Willy is exactly now like he was
Speaker 6: you know when he was writing Crazy for Patsy Klein
Speaker 6: in the sixties.
Speaker 5: You know, he's just a dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a dude to dude. That's what I like
Speaker 2: to call round.
Speaker 1: One thing I love about your body of work is
Speaker 1: that you touch on a lot of different things. You
Speaker 1: know about wrestling as well. And every now and then
Speaker 1: in football, we'll see could be a sprinter, could be
Speaker 1: a wrestler. We'll see someone cross crossover and see if
Speaker 1: that athleticism translate. Like right now we have Gable Steveson,
Speaker 1: who is an Olympic gold medalist, was a champion wrestler.
Speaker 1: I believe in Minnesota and here he is trying out
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills right now. We you experienced that
Speaker 1: with Brocklester Minnesota. So what are the realistic possibilities And
Speaker 1: why doesn't that athleticism always translate.
Speaker 6: Well, it's funny because it doesn't translate like going from
Speaker 6: wrestling to football. But the history of wrestling is just
Speaker 6: a bunch of football players. I mean, you know, I'm
Speaker 6: a I'm a full horseman guy, right, I mean, I'm
Speaker 6: old school eighties.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: I just saw Arn Anderson, former mayor of Knoxville. I
Speaker 6: just saw Arn Anderson at a comic book convention a
Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago. Father's Day. Took a picture with
Speaker 6: him and everything. But you know, they played college football.
Speaker 6: You know, his sons played college football. They were wrestlers,
Speaker 6: and you know a lot of the Four Horsemen they
Speaker 6: all played football, I think at Texas State, like for
Speaker 6: the Bobcats. So there's all this. You know, the Tomo,
Speaker 6: Minnesota Rick Flairs where he's from. So there was there's
Speaker 6: always it always works that way. I don't know, but
Speaker 6: but I know I can't imagine smooth. What was it
Speaker 6: like in the locker room though? No, no coronner and
Speaker 6: these guys getting stories right now.
Speaker 3: No, brock was a star when he made it to
Speaker 3: the team already, like he was one of these guys
Speaker 3: that was super established. So as much as people loved
Speaker 3: us because we was in NFL, people people was coming
Speaker 3: to training camp to see brock Lesner like brock Lesnar
Speaker 3: the wrestler, and it was it's so funny, I'll never forget.
Speaker 3: We're doing drills right, We're doing uh dB drills and
Speaker 3: D line drills and I looked down at the D
Speaker 3: line and I see him just wrestling, like he's not
Speaker 3: coming off the ball.
Speaker 2: He's not making football moves, He's wrestling.
Speaker 3: And so we started talking around locker room, what do
Speaker 3: we think the reason why he's not acclimating this fast?
Speaker 3: And I said, because, uh, it's a difference between when
Speaker 3: you a weightlifting and a powerlifter. I think wrestlers are powerlifters,
Speaker 3: and in that power you stiff in your muscles. In football,
Speaker 3: you need to have some flexibility, no matter if you're
Speaker 3: playing offensive line, defensive line, tackle, no matter what you're doing,
Speaker 3: you need to have some bend.
Speaker 2: And what I see with him is he couldn't bend in.
Speaker 3: Certain situations because he was so stiff, but the superstar.
Speaker 3: Oh he still had to stop out.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the sport where they literally all they do
Speaker 6: is teach you holds and that in a sport where
Speaker 6: you can't the one thing you can't do is hold right. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's uh, but it's I remember years ago one of
Speaker 6: my favorite stories I wrote was to make a and
Speaker 6: spent time with Usain Bolt and this is when he
Speaker 6: was at the height of his powers, fastest man in
Speaker 6: the world. He was asking me questions about football. He's, man,
Speaker 6: I got these American football people call me, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: I love.
Speaker 5: To see you run some routes, right, I mean, just
Speaker 5: try it, right, I mean, you know, I just.
Speaker 6: I went to Tennessee. I told about Willie Yall, I
Speaker 6: go Willi's doing. He just outran everybody. I said, I
Speaker 6: like your chances of getting open. I just don't know
Speaker 6: if you can catch. So I love I love it
Speaker 6: when when guys try to make crossovers and why.
Speaker 3: Not, right, why Well, you know what the one thing
Speaker 3: I can say about track guys when it comes to
Speaker 3: football to play wide receiver, it's just not the ability
Speaker 3: to run fans, this ability to stop. And that's where
Speaker 3: they're not good at the don't They don't have the
Speaker 3: ability to stop right there, And I think that what
Speaker 3: bends them to they will. And by the way, since
Speaker 3: you like guy that cross over sports, I'm thinking about
Speaker 3: going pro and bowling.
Speaker 2: What you think about that? He's bowling ready for me?
Speaker 6: Bowling could use you, So yeah, dude, I'm all for it. Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 6: I tell you track stories. So my dad was a
Speaker 6: college football official forever. He was a downfield official.
Speaker 5: He's been.
Speaker 6: He was downfield with smooth, he was uh. He was
Speaker 6: a field judge, side judge, back judge. And he had
Speaker 6: a game at West Virginia and Dad always prided himself
Speaker 6: on getting to the goal line, you know, even before
Speaker 6: the fast guys, because I mean he's got a twenty
Speaker 6: yard head start and uh and that, and Dad was
Speaker 6: always quick. But Dad had a game in West Virginia
Speaker 6: where uh guy received a punt and took off and
Speaker 6: Dad's backing up and he's like, oh, this guy is
Speaker 6: gonna break one. And before Dad could get turned around,
Speaker 6: he said the guy went past him like a Ferrari and.
Speaker 5: It was it was James Jet.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 6: So my dad goes to uh the coaching staff at
Speaker 6: West Virginia and went, who the hell was that guy?
Speaker 6: And they go, that guy, that guy just won a
Speaker 6: medal into four by one hundred bars a little Olympics.
Speaker 4: That was okay.
Speaker 5: I don't know what is bad the goal line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I totally understand.
