15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: by the gnaw Brown's Steelers off the shores of Lake Erie,

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: covered in a blanket. It's snow and it was just

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: everything that's beautiful.

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 4: Oh man. I love snow Globe game, you know, like

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: anytime you put football and put it in snow, you know.

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: And and Michael Junior used to always tell me that's

21
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 4: how you know you didn't play if you didn't like

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: his playing in that is trash and blah blah. I

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: don't care. I don't care what it felt like for

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 4: them on the field to play it. It looked pretty

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 4: for my home, like with the heat on, sitting on

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: the couch, sure look pretty like. I love this. The

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 4: only thing that I would tell Steelers fans it stinks

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: is just get ready because now, like you had, you

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: had a good ending to a game in the snow,

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 4: which means every time NFL Network runs best Snow Games,

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: best Snow Ending's, best rivalry moments, best like I'm used

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: to this from the Tuck rule, like a game in

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: snow gets rerun over and over and over again. That

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: will be part of NFL lore and history. But loved

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: every Yeah, I disagree with you.

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: I love Junior. I disagree with it. I don't know why.

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: You know you listen, it's actually fun because you're not.

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: You really can't. Any kind of climate weather is not fun. Right, cold,

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: you know it, right, the flame that you can only imagine.

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: But there is something fun about it. I mean there

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: is in a sense that it's different, right, and you know,

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: is it you know, pristine seventy two degrees southern California?

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: You know, nice track now, but it's got there's something

44
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: about it that's incredible. You know, it's softer. Yeah, it's

45
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: cold and an whole thing, but you know it's it's

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: got such allure. I can't tell you how much I

47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: love it. I heard a lot of backlash. It's why

48
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: I started with it, because I came in to do

49
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: my show yesterday and it was just like how great football.

50
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: I was annoyed by the NBA right, and the and

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: he had and the NBA with the cup right, this cup.

52
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: You know, the ridiculous, subnoxious courts, all right, you know,

53
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: you dress them up whatever, but you and you'll get this.

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: So there was a commercial and it was a bunch

55
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: of celebrities and they're talking about the NBA Cup and

56
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: you know, and trying to drum it up and listen,

57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: I get it, you know, as you know if you're

58
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,279
Speaker 2: going to market that, you get a bunch of celebrities

59
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: and you say, you draw up a script, you write

60
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: the script, how incredible this is, and you know, the

61
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: much coveted cup, a all this stuff and it's and

62
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: I just look at it and go, this is just

63
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: a mad men creation.

64
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: It's nonsense. It has no meaning.

65
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: And as much as you want to try to invent

66
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: it and give it meaning, it's got none.

67
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: Because nothing can compare.

68
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: It's the same teams, and nothing can compare to a

69
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: two and a half month tournament. That's the playoffs, and

70
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: that's the truth. And it feels like it's scam on

71
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: the public.

72
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: I've always felt to that point. I've always felt like

73
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: and last year, I know the ratings were up for

74
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 4: the Cup games, NBA people were just hammering that point home.

75
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: Fine to your point about the courts being colored. I

76
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: didn't even realize the Cup stuff was going on. I

77
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: saw some highlights on sports and I was like, oh,

78
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: floor looks stupid. It's the Cup, but the entire process,

79
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: to me, presumes that the buying audience is stupid, and

80
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: I just think that's a dangerous way to do business.

81
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: Like yes, yes, Like if you're going to give me

82
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: some sort of in season you know reason that games

83
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: are different, Boy, you better make it clear why it's

84
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: so incentivized. And we're not talking down otherwise. I feel

85
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 4: like the whole time, I'm like, hey, look, I am

86
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: going to pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

87
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: I understand the Wizard of Oz, and I don't really

88
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 4: appreciate what you're doing right now. So, like one thing

89
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: about the NFL was like, I'm all in on the

90
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 4: fact that the NFL pretty much makes it clear, Hey,

91
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: we're doing this for the money, and you're just gonna

92
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: accept it. It's like, okay, nothing we can do about it.

93
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: The NBA could take a page out of honesty from

94
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: that process.

95
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: Dude, that's exactly who You said it better than I could.

96
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: You nailed it. It's exactly what bothers me. It's like

97
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: you're painting offs for fools, Like you're trying to tell

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: us this means something when everybody knows it doesn't. And

99
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: it's a scam. It's a flat out scam. Well the

100
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: public man, and you're it's like, you're exactly right. You

101
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: think I'm stupid. Hey, right, Like I'm not blaming you

102
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: for trying to create something, right, Like, I get it,

103
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: But you think I'm stupid because you know that this

104
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: isn't it.

105
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: You know this is a bad idea, but you're look

106
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: at this.

107
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: Ratings are up looking at fools buying the colored court

108
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: like the stop it's eye watch it's nonsense. And the

109
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 2: thing about the football is, yeah, did they add games

110
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: for money?

111
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: And they did? They taking over Christmas for money.

112
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: And black Friday, and like you said, so what, and

113
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: you know what, I thank you, thank you very much

114
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: because I love.

115
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: To consume it.

116
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: It's like it excites me about college football and the

117
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: finally having this playoff. It's awesome. This is what it's

118
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: supposed to be. Man, this is great. Every game matters.

119
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: Oh I don't care. Oh well the devalues just no,

120
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: it doesn't.

121
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: It. Every game values and it's gonna lead into this

122
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: incredible playoff where you know, you really even know, you

123
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: don't even know who's gonna win. Like in the years

124
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: past you knew it. It was somewhat anti climactic. Now

125
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: it's not. And I and every one of these games

126
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: it's fun. You know, you give me Steelers and and

127
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: and Brown's Ohio Pennsylvania football off the shores of Lake Erie.

128
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you.

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: I think sometimes with with some of these things, too.

130
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: Imagine trying to explain it to a kid that's the

131
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 4: biggest fan in the world. It's like, well, we're doing

132
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: this in season cup, Like, how do you even explain

133
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: this to a kid in a way like if you

134
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 4: if you were explaining it to a child with the

135
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: wonderment of just why where the follow up question answer,

136
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: follow up question. Every answers well, why why why? If

137
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: that's how you were explaining the Cup, you would feel

138
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: like an idiot about three minutes in because you're like,

139
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, buddy, I like, I can't. I've told

140
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: you all I can tell you, Like, there isn't a

141
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: viable way that we get to a why that doesn't

142
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: make the person explaining the In Season Cup look or

143
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: feel like an idiot. That's when you know it's a fault.

144
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: It's a failed process, you know, and there isn't a

145
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: real end goal to any of it that makes sense.

146
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: I can make sense of the play in tournament. I

147
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: can make sense of why they haven't reduced regular season

148
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: games in most big sports, although I think they should.

149
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: I can make sense of all of that, and I

150
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 4: can explain it all the way down to somebody and say, Okay,

151
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 4: that's just the way it is with the In Season Cup.

152
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 4: It's just so arbitrary, it's so rare. Well, this is

153
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: a cup game, guys, Like, do you really think that

154
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 4: when you're sitting there putting together the games you're gonna

155
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 4: buy a ticket to with your kids, You're like, with

156
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: your buddies, you're like, all right, guys, what game you

157
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: want to go to? I don't know there are any

158
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: Cup games. Those are always more energetic, Like really, that's

159
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 4: just not gonna happen.

160
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: What's it saying? Like, you're so right, man, you're so right,

161
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: And what's to say?

162
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: Like, well, you know they play harder for Cup games. Yeah,

163
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: so you're telling me the whole regular season it's a big, giant,

164
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: one gigantic scam anyway, right where half guy half the

165
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: guys don't play, I mean stop. And the court thing

166
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: bugs me, like it wouldn't matter if that was just

167
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: like an every day you want to call it, you know,

168
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: the color scheme jerseys like the alternate jerseys and baseball

169
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: whatever could you want to sell more jerseys? And so

170
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: you're creating this court to do something, okay, whatever, but

171
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: this is just stupid. You're giving me, Oh, this is

172
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: a Cup game. So the difference is the court is funky.

173
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.

174
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, oh my god.

175
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 4: Rush like Color Rush, even though sometimes those Color Rush

176
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: jerseys are just the worst, Like Color Rush at least

177
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 4: has given us something to look forward to sometimes, or

178
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 4: you're like, all right, let's see what the jerseys look

179
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: like maybe I'll go buy an all jersey for my

180
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: favorite team, Like that gives you at least a reason,

181
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: you know. But the fact is the other part of that,

182
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: and let's let's be honest, color Rush jerseys on Thursday

183
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 4: night weren't really a reason to watch, Like they're presuming

184
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 4: you're going to watch Thursday night football. It's just, hey,

185
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 4: while you're watching, is let's give you a three and

186
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: a half hour add for a new jersey you should

187
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: go by. Like that's there's a difference from that to like, no, no, no, guys, guys,

188
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: I know you wouldn't usually watch this game, but did

189
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 4: we tell you that the floors are different and this

190
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 4: is a Cup game. I mean, it's just it's just now, no,

191
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: I'm pieces.

192
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: Me off, and you nailed it.

193
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: Was I was trying to figure out why it makes

194
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: me angry, but you nailed it.

195
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: It's because they think we're stupid.

196
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, and listen, I guess you never go broke,

197
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: you know, thinking that the Mansons are stupid, Right, I

198
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: get it, but I mean, you come on, man, this

199
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: is nonsense. It's the same teams, even the format stupid.

200
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 3: Like if you wanted to do a.

201
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: Week long shutdown the sport and do an NC double

202
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: a style tournament just because it's different. Okay, it's different,

203
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: but it's still the same teams. It's not a seven

204
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: game series. It doesn't mean anything. Oh my god, it's

205
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: the worst. It drives me crazy. And then I'm watching

206
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: you know, I'm watching football, and I'm going and I

207
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: love basketball, so you know, this isn't an anti sport thing.

208
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: It's I'm piss at the NBA thing. I piss at

209
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: the NBA for a million reasons as to how they

210
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: let it got here to this point where guys just

211
00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: don't play.

212
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: It's just awful.

213
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: And then because I love the sport too much. And

214
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: then I just sit there on Thursday night and go, yeah,

215
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: I can. I can come home and disappear for three

216
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: hours and be transported to the shores of Lake Erie

217
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 2: in the middle of a blizzard.

218
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: And then I can be.

219
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: Transported to southern California and watch the you know, hardball

220
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: and you know, watch the Chargers.

221
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's the best.

222
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 4: You know, you said a second ago, you never get

223
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: you never go broke, assuming the masses are stupid, basically,

224
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: and you're right, You're right about that that's something that

225
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: everybody talks about in business in general. But one thing

226
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 4: that's interesting to me is that, you know, my buddy

227
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 4: Frank schwap over at Yaho said the other day, the

228
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 4: NFL has turned every other sport into a niche sport

229
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 4: in some ways. And I believe that when you when

230
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: that's your reality, there is a portion of my mind

231
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 4: that says, hey, understand what your fan base really wants.

232
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: And what do we hear so often from true NBA heads.

233
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 4: They want smarter coverage, they want people that will break

234
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: down more of the game. They they so often diehard

235
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: fans of the NBA are telling you they don't love

236
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 4: the way the sport is covered in general, because it's

237
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: covered with too much of a surface level yelling and screaming,

238
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: right Like, that's that we hear that can play constantly,

239
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: and JJ Redick was part of voicing that concern loudly

240
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: when he was working at ESPN.

241
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 3: Right.

242
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: So, to me, while you can never go broke, you know,

243
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 4: assuming the masses are as uneducated on it as possible,

244
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: I get that. I also think you have to know

245
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: who your core audience is night in and night out,

246
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: and a core NBA head loves that sport. A core

247
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: NBA head wants to be fed deep details on that sport.

248
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: Like NBA fans have become a lot like baseball fans.

249
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: They're passionate about everything involved in their sport, night in

250
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 4: and night out. They're passionate about getting coverage from it

251
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: from people that are watching it every night. They're passionate

252
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 4: about not being talked down to in general, and their

253
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 4: own sport that they love is talking down to them

254
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: with the cup. It just doesn't make any sense, dude.

255
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: It's a great point, but like they always say, they

256
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: want to widen their audience.

257
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: But your spot on.

258
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: And you know what's interesting is that the NBA is

259
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: the new MLB because the NBA think about it the

260
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: back in the day, people loved the MLB stat nerds,

261
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: box score heads, right, you know math, right, like the averages,

262
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: the creating, the all the different arts all the time, right,

263
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: like all that stuff. It's and and the NBA basically

264
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: became that. But part of it has to do with gambling, right,

265
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: like you know all points, rebounds, assists, p R.

266
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: So I was telling me I have Lebron over PRA

267
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: and I'm going PRR.

268
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: What the hell's prah points rebounds assessed. I get it right,

269
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: you know, but it's it's all that, right, it's permitted.

270
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: It's this, it's that, like I had somebody tell me,

271
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Like I had somebody tell me. The other day, a

272
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: friend of mine is talking about the Sixers rookie Jared McCain,

273
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: who's terrific, right, the ballplayer he really is. He's a

274
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: joy to kid, you know, he makes these TikTok videos.

275
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: He's a great kid and highly rootaball and he's good.

276
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: Right.

277
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: And I had said that I wanted Dalton Connect the

278
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: Sixers to take Connect because he was a better fit

279
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: six seven wing could fire it up right, the whole thing.

280
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: And I thought he was better.

281
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: Fit because McCain and Maxie makes them a smaller backcourt, right,

282
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: because they're both small and they're basically two cards.

283
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: No no, no, he Steph Curry.

284
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: And I'm going listen, I like to kidd a lop,

285
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: but what like you can't throw around Steph Curry like

286
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: he could evolve into you don't know, well, like comel man,

287
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: Like you can't be giving me Steph Curry for a

288
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: rookie like as much as and I think the kid's

289
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: a player, but stop, like you.

290
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: Know, and he got mad.

291
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: But it goes back to your point of he he'll

292
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: watch every game every night, sit there, go, you know,

293
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: consume as much as possible, and it's great, but he's

294
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: looking at every box score. Well look at this kid,

295
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: his percentage, this and this and this, and the NBA

296
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: is really like the MLB was with the stat heads.

297
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: And listen, I'm a box scorehead. So when I say nerd,

298
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm calling myself one no.

299
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 4: But that's a good point. Did the analytics nerds that

300
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 4: the box score ors all of that? Like, I think

301
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 4: it just becomes such an easy way for everybody to

302
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: try and be able to compartmentalize what they see, you know,

303
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: because what we're trying to do, especially the gambling portion

304
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: of it, is you're trying to find data that backs up.

305
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 4: Like cause if you go into ato in gambling has

306
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: become so pervasive in our society in general in the

307
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 4: last five years. If you walk into a sports book

308
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: and say, I just got a gut feeling on this,

309
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: I've watched all the games. It just really feels like

310
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 4: this kid's about to have a big game. People are

311
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 4: gonna look at you like you're crazy. But if you

312
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 4: walk into that same or you walk into the sports bar,

313
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: tell your buddies to put the bet on your phone.

314
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 4: But if you walk in and say, man, I've been

315
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 4: watching all these games and oh, by the way, I

316
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 4: got this data that backs it up. Now, all of

317
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 4: a sudden, you feel justified in placing the bet. You

318
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 4: feel justified, and in the take, I feel justifying why

319
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 4: you're seeing what you're seeing. And the funny part about

320
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 4: that is we talk about analytics all the time in

321
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 4: the NFL that you know they show, they show that graphic,

322
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 4: well just to go for it here. However, many percentage

323
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: ninety five percent of the time with the the analytics

324
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 4: don't know is the context of the game? How's the

325
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: game floppen? And where are we right now? Like, the

326
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 4: interesting thing about NBA stats, particularly early in the season,

327
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 4: is that there's a reason why scientific studies shouldn't be

328
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 4: released until there's been enough data to actually collect. We're

329
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: so early in the NBA season, all the numbers everybody's

330
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: seeing right now are going to be so different by February.

331
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: It's just funny to me that everybody wants to trip

332
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 4: over themselves to find different numbers that support their theories

333
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: of a league. That's what twenty games into a long season.

334
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: So it is funny, how to your point, everybody's so

335
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: drawn into these numbers that they want these numbers to

336
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 4: make a conclusive statement, and it's way too early for that.

337
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, you still got guys playing in,

338
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 2: playing into game shape. You still got guys who's missing,

339
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: who's being you know, managed right, load management, all that stuff.

340
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what you glean.

341
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: You know, some younger teams you can look at it,

342
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: but to your point, you gotta wait till you know,

343
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: halfway through the season where there's numbers kind of matter.

344
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: I was having an argument with a buddy of mine

345
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: who is a huge don't olia this guy, and we

346
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: were talking about the concept of you know, if you're

347
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: down twenty eight to fourteen and you score, you're the

348
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 2: trailing team, and you score, and and a lot of

349
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: times teams will go for two to try to get

350
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: it twenty eight twenty two. Yeah, right, And he's like, well, Anthony,

351
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: the math works this way, and I'm like, I understand

352
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: the math, but again I get it.

353
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 3: You get two shots to make you know, a two

354
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: point you.

355
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: Get it, you basically get a free shot at making

356
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: a two point conversion. Here's the problem, because you're taking

357
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: in a face value that you're going to make one

358
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: of those two and depending on the game and all

359
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: the variables happening during the game, it's hard to convert

360
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 2: a two point conversion. A certain teams have a play

361
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: that you can draw upon, but then again, you put

362
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: that on tape, like, it's hard to make two point conversions.

363
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: Either of the math in certain way spits it out.

364
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 2: It's it's it's not as accurate because of the variables.

365
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll say quickly. Roulette dealer years ago, somebody walked

366
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 4: up to the table and was like, oh man, that

367
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: numbers hot, and Rulett Dealer looked a him. He was like, hey, buddy,

368
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 4: numbers are never hot. Every time I roll it, there's

369
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 4: a one in thirty three chance that your number is

370
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 4: gonna hit depending on how your board looks one and

371
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 4: whatever chance. You know, every single time that resets, numbers

372
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: don't get hot, and the whole tables like, ah, But

373
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 4: to your point, you're sitting here looking at well, the

374
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: odds of these two things combined together, I don't know

375
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 4: I'd rather have a ninety eight percent per chance of

376
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 4: having this like and then a ninety eight percent chance

377
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 4: of having this again like. That's why I should never

378
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: have been on dealer, No deal, because I would take

379
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: the suitcase in hand, like, I just give me points,

380
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 4: points win football games. That's your eyes me crazy.

381
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm with you, buddy, all right, were gonna take a

382
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: quick time out. Lots to get to today we will

383
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: dive deep dive. Man, it's getting real and today, Oh

384
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: it's finally here for the fans of the Hoosiers. Big

394
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: This is a huge game.

395
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: Boy.

396
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: I hope wait this week's Game of the century because

397
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 4: I feel like this year we've had so many of them.

398
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: This Week of the Century, why is that and it's

399
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: been awesome.

400
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: Is it strictly because play football?

401
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: It's because college football is better than ever. Like let

402
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 4: me let me pull my soapbox up here for a second.

403
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stand up on this thing because I'm only

404
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 4: five to nine and a quarter, so I need the

405
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: extra height. It used to be five to nine and

406
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 4: a half. I step up. I'm gonna get on my soapbox.

407
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: If you're one of the people still yelling that college

408
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: football is broken, then you are so stuck in your

409
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 4: ways that you are not seeing what is actually happening

410
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: right now. Like I cannot believe we're at a spot

411
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 4: right now where we don't even know who's gonna play

412
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: for the SEC championship. We got no idea right now.

413
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: We have really no idea who's gonna win most of

414
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: the conferences. Right We're looking across trying to figure out

415
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 4: who's actually good this year, and everybody just the parody,

416
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 4: which is what we scream we want in most sports

417
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: is all over the place. More teams matter than ever,

418
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 4: and because there is still a playoff to play for,

419
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 4: like there is just a different level of interest in

420
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 4: every one of these games. Like Ole Miss would have

421
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: been uninteresting a month and a half ago, and instead

422
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 4: they have a real shot at the national championship. Right

423
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: that's this playoff expansion is the best thing that's happened

424
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 4: at college football name image, likeness, and the fact that

425
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: we have more recruits going to more schools than ever,

426
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 4: like we are talking about more schools than ever. The

427
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 4: fact that you can turn around and get you a

428
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 4: quarterback when you need one desperately to save your program. Like,

429
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 4: I think college football has never been healthier, it's never

430
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 4: been more entertaining, it's never been better. This is the

431
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: best seat. I've been covering this sport since twenty seventeen

432
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 4: full time, and I have never seen anything more exciting

433
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 4: than what we are getting right now.

434
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: Please go on.

435
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like, come on, man. Like the fact

436
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: that even if even if Indiana loses now, if Indiana

437
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: gets boat raced today, we all agree Indiana is going

438
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: to be out. Most of us agree that Indiana is

439
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: gonna be out. And I'm not taking anything away from

440
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: the fact that their strength of schedule has been garbage,

441
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 4: right like it's been hot garbage. I think it's one

442
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: hundred and sixth now in the country. But this is it.

443
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: This is the proven moment, Like if you even go

444
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: in and hang with Ohio State, you're gonna make the

445
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 4: college football Playoff. Like it looks pretty clear here and

446
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, this is exactly like again, this

447
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: is the success of what modern college football is. Signetti

448
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: comes in, he brings players in a quarterback with him

449
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 4: that know his system. He's able to quickly have success

450
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 4: because he's able to utilize the transfer portal and bring

451
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 4: in a bunch of speed. I mean, it's just it's

452
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 4: worked brilliantly and perfectly, and all of a sudden, Man,

453
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: now we got this just epic matchup between Ohio State

454
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 4: and Indiana where I feel like a lot of the

455
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: country weirdly is rooting against the Hoosiers. We're such a

456
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 4: David and Goliath. But there are so many college football

457
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 4: fans now that have convinced themselves Indiana doesn't belong in

458
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 4: the conversation that whereas usually it be like everybody's pro Indiana.

459
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 4: It feels like a lot of other fan bases out

460
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 4: there like gotta hope Indiana gets boat racings out of

461
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: this conversation.

462
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because the two teams it feels

463
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: like people root against Indiana and Colorado and it's like

464
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: why and you're to your point. It is it has

465
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 2: never been better.

466
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

467
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: And the fact is that Indiana gets to prove itself.

468
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't go a whole season and then it never

469
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: gets a chance. Right, It's just and like if this

470
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 2: was another era of college football and Indiana never played

471
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State, uh, and they wound up going unbeaten, it

472
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't matter. They would never get their opportunity. They would

473
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: never get a chance. And that's what the playoffs are about.

474
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: The playoffs are you get a shot, man, here you go.

475
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: You're you want to have a chance, and that's why

476
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: this game matters.

477
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: Now. I do think sidebar that the college football playoff

478
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 4: system is so convoluted you gotta have two math degrees

479
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 4: to figure out the fact that this week only one

480
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: team was both ranked and seeded in the same spot.

481
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 4: That's Oregon. Oregon was the number one ranked team and

482
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 4: the number one seed. Every other team was different. And

483
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 4: the fact that you know, we're cramming in the top

484
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 4: five ranked conference champions and giving buys to weird teams

485
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: like this. This has become very confusing, and I don't

486
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 4: there's parts of this that I don't. I don't love

487
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 4: the possibility and this is just a possibility, but there

488
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 4: is right now. If Colorado State tonight wins, they're going

489
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 4: to play for the Mountain West title. They're on a roll.

490
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: They're going to play Boise State. There is a world

491
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: in a world where Army just gets boat raced today

492
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 4: by Notre Dame and Colorado State ends up upsetting Boise

493
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: State in the mount West Championship in a couple of weeks.

494
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 4: There's a world where the highest ranked non power for

495
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 4: conference champion isn't even ranked. And that's that's where it

496
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: gets a little prickly. Like when you turn around and say, well,

497
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 4: we have to let the highest ranked none we have

498
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 4: to live up for the five highest ranked conference champions.

499
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: Well what if the fifth best conference champion isn't even

500
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 4: a top twenty five team. I don't love a system

501
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 4: where we're leaving out Tennessee to cram in Colorado State

502
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 4: with three losses, right Like, that just doesn't That doesn't

503
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: necessarily feed my soul. But I think the rest of

504
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 4: it is just an absolute It's an absolute delight and

505
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: also weird that the Mountain West could end up with

506
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: Colorado STATEUS to champion and UNLV would be ranked higher

507
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: but would not make to go. It's all like, so

508
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 4: this is all like, it's confusing. I feel for Reese Davis,

509
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: who does a better job than ninety nine percent of

510
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 4: the world explaining this, but every week he's got to

511
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: go all the way back to square one. It'd be like, okay, remember,

512
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 4: so the top four seeds that would all get buys

513
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 4: are actually the like first, eighth, fourteenth, twelve ranked like

514
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 4: they're all ranked random spots. It's wildly confusing for people.

515
00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: It is.

516
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: It is, but nonetheless, like you said, and that's just

517
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: a sidebar, I'd rather have it like that than than

518
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: it was.

519
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: In the past. It's it's so much better.

520
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: It's so good and and we're you know it also

521
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: as much as usually, this week depressed me because this

522
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: was the second to last you know, it's the second

523
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: to last week of the of the season, right, and

524
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: you know, the Saturday start to dwindle, like you get

525
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: to December and it's like, oh man, no more college football,

526
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: and you know it's it's and I love college basketball,

527
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: but I have a little resentment toward it because it's

528
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: butting up, it's butting up against football, and it's like, ah, man,

529
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: come on, you know, just hold off for me, hold

530
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: off a little bit.

531
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to see the end.

532
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 2: And now it feels like, all right, I have a

533
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: whole playoff Like I got that, not just trash bowl

534
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: games where nobody plays, right, I actually got a playoffs.

535
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 4: The weekend before Christmas, first round playoff games like days

536
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 4: before Christmas. This year, we are going to see likely

537
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: SEC teams making the long trip up north, and they're

538
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: gonna be playing in whatever the cold conditions could be

539
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 4: in a place like Happy Valley, which separate conversation on

540
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 4: Penn State that we should have at some point that like, man,

541
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: a lot of people spreading hate for Indiana being in

542
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: It's like, what's Penn State's big resume win? Like did

543
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: I miss them? Anyway? There are going to be SEC

544
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 4: teams headed up north.

545
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: Still scowry James Franklin's I mean, but he's a great recruiter.

546
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 4: I mean the best the best resume tick for Penn

547
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: State is they're lost to Ohio State. I don't know,

548
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 4: I'm just I don't know. But there's gonna be the

549
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 4: thought of seeing, for example, Alabama at Penn State the

550
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: weekend before Christmas in a playoff game. Oh, the thought

551
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: of seeing one of these teams have to go to

552
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 4: a Notre Dame for a playoff game. Oh god, yeah,

553
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: Like that's Saturday before Christmas. We are going to be

554
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: riveted to the TV in the way that we haven't

555
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 4: been because there'll be big brands playing in random places

556
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 4: and it's a playoff game like New Year's Eve should

557
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 4: not be. I hope they eventually fix this and they

558
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: stop putting college football games on New Year's Eve. That

559
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: being said, while you know obviously we've had playoff games

560
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: in the past on New Year's Eve, this feels a

561
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 4: little different. This one just feels a little different. Like

562
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 4: you're coming in off of this. You're gonna have teams

563
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: that have been waiting with the buye Oh, it's gonna

564
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 4: be like wait, be juicy.

565
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 3: Okay, So.

566
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: You're right everything you said, except I don't like when

567
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: the both semi final games are on Christmas on on

568
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve. But you gotta put you gotta have

569
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: put some football New Year's Eve.

570
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You gotta New Year's Day.

571
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: This is like your typically cap to you know me,

572
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 4: I don't even like history. You tipped the cap to

573
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 4: history of.

574
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: What I was saying in New Year's Day.

575
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: But I need something, dude, My days of my days

Speaker 2: the kids bag pots and pants right because we get them,

588
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: you know, and and it's it's a nod to our tradition.

589
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 4: You're gonna be asleep by midnight.

590
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 3: Come on right, dude. First of all, I'm a night out,

591
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: so I'm off.

592
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: Like I watched Nevada last you and olv last night.

593
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 4: Let's go that rain soaks drenched awful game.

Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah, I love it. Right.

595
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: I watched West Coast basketball every night, so I'm a

596
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm a night out, so I liked, I need my

599
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: if CONSOO is the best.

600
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: I will say the other three playoff games are on

601
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 4: New Year's Day, so I'll give them grand for that,

602
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: But no New Year's Eve. I don't know. I just

603
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: think there's something about like, yeah, I'd like to keep

604
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: some sort of level in my mind of just being

605
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: able to to say, hey, it's New Year's Eve. Like

606
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 4: the I don't know, there's something about it.

607
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: Dude, if they if they can, if they can have

608
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: if Christmas can be taken by the NFL, you you

609
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: want New Year's Eve.

610
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but see the difference is the difference is Christmas.

611
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 4: Christmas afternoon is taken by the NFL. Like this is

612
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 4: where things get a little different because for years, Christmas

613
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 4: Day has.

614
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: Been the last week. Last year it was a Christmas

615
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: light Yeah.

616
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 4: Oh that's fine too, but for me, most families that

617
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: the reason for years, the biggest movie day of the

618
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: year is Christmas Day is and there's a ton of

619
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: families that after you know, Santa Claus is coming gone,

620
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 4: and President's been open and you're sitting there like, oh,

621
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 4: let's go see a movie. You know, like I think

622
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: the afternoon of Christmas Day has been long since at

623
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: some point. I don't have kids, but I remember as

624
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 4: a kid, by the afternoon, you know, you're playing with

625
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 4: the toys that you got and you're sort of off

626
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 4: in your own world and your parents are trying to

627
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 4: sleep off, not getting any rest to you know, leading

628
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: up to it. Let's say it that, and so all

629
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: of a sudden, you know it's rest. You go to

630
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: the movies. Well now you just like sit on the

631
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: couch watch football. I'm good on that. I'm okay with

632
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 4: the fact that there are games earlier in the day

633
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 4: on New Year's Eve. This is the equivalent of putting

634
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: a football game on at seven am on Christmas Day,

635
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: like because you're writing a thick of it, like when

636
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 4: you start, when you start putting it on at eight

637
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 4: o'clock at now it's going all the way into New

638
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 4: Year's Eve. Like now it's now like depending.

639
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: On it's gonna bust up your party.

640
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 4: It's gonna bust up the party. Like if your girl

641
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 4: wants to go out, you can't go out, Like if

642
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: you want to go to Times Square and watch the

643
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 4: ball drop. You can't do that. You gotta watch.

644
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: Fob I've done times Square. Don't do time square. It's

645
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: it's you want to talk about a scam.

646
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: Don't don't do it. Don't do it.

647
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 4: Can I reveal an entertainment secret here? I don't know

648
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 4: if I've ever told you this.

649
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: We played Wait wait, wait the reveal happens on the

650
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: other side, all right, because now I gotta I need

651

658
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 2: is New Year's Eve.

659
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 3: I'm waiting, all right.

660
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,479
Speaker 4: Well, you know it's just sometimes you got you gotta

661
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 4: get people a little peak behind the curtain. My right

662
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 4: arm is a tattoo of everywhere I've lived in the moments.

663
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: I'm proud of stuff from mostly my music career, but

664
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 4: music and sports. One of those tattoos, particularly on my wrist,

665
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 4: is Dick Clark's Rock and New Year's Eve. We were

666
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 4: lucky enough to play Dick Clark's Rock and New Year's

667
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 4: Eve when I was with the vand Perry.

668
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: Wow.

669
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 4: One of the cool experiences of my life because I

670
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: grew up watching that show.

671
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: But here's what Were you in New York or were

672
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: you were you times Square?

673
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: No, we were in LA and this ah, okay, it's

674
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: interesting because we were in LA, which means that we

675
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 4: went out to LA. I don't know, probably the first

676
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 4: week in December that had all the Christmas decorations up,

677
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 4: the New Year's decorations up. They filled a whole TV

678
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 4: studio with a bunch of people and all of the

679
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 4: bands from LA actually played, like the first week in December.

680
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 4: It was one night we had the MC's were there.

681
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: We pre taped all of that. All of that has

682
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 4: done way in advance, and so every time you see

683
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: them during the live broadcast, the New York broadcast is live,

684
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 4: but the LA broadcast is pre taped. And they do

685
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 4: that in part because it gives them a little bit

686
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 4: of safety while they're resetting stuff. It helps the production

687
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 4: of the show. So while you play it live and

688
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 4: you are live while it's being recorded, it's what they

689
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 4: call live to tape. It means that you know, sure

690
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: it's the same exact thing where they're like ladies and

691
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 4: gentlemen the Van Perry. But we played that early December.

692
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: So because we played it and it broadcasts as live

693
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 4: and everyone thinks the LA portion of it is happening, right,

694
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 4: then you actually can't take a gig New Year's Eve.

695
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 4: It can't be two places at once. It would it

696
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 4: would reveal the myth to everybody. So we got to

697
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 4: sit at home. It's the one New Year's Eve I

698
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 4: can remember in my life that I actually had off

699
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 4: was the New Year's Eve we played Dick Clark's New

700
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 4: Year's Eve. Because we were on the LA set, we

701
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 4: couldn't work. I got to sit at home and watch

702
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 4: myself on TV. So when you watch this year, if

703
00:36:55,040 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 4: you see them, wow, all l like any any stund

704
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: stays on the West Coast is a pre tape that's

705
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 4: been been in the can for weeks, so you know

706
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 4: it's it's it's that it's a fake, fantastic, it's just early,

707
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 4: it's early recording.

708
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, Can I can I? That's fantastic. So my

709
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: wife always right put.

710
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 4: The cark on, you know, put it put rock and.

711
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 3: Evil like run around ten thirty.

712
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 2: You know, we stillways watch a movie with the kids

713
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: and do the whole thing and then put let's put

714
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: it on and then you know, somehow it stays on

715
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: right because then you know, they pop open champagne and

716
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: the kids are back about of bands and we're doing whatever,

717
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 2: and then it's still on right, And then when they

718
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: go back to La. It makes sense now because when

719
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: every time they go back to LA, it feels like fake.

720
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: It feels for Gage, like the people there yep, are

721
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: you know over doing the New Year's thing, like like

722
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 2: you can almost see them acting.

723
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're getting filler people.

724
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: Right, like want of the actors who overact right, So

725
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: you know whereas New York, you know, it doesn't it.

726
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: You see the difference, like you can feel the difference.

727
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. Like as much as they say, all right,

728
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 4: we need that energy, guys, like there's so Maody walks out,

729
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 4: He's like, we need your energy. We're gonna be live

730
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 4: and three two like they do the whole count and

731
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 4: you know, but there's also the element of like in

732
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 4: between those like so we would do our song and

733
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 4: then everything stops and the whole the whole TV broadcast

734
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 4: resets and like they reset for the next band, and

735
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 4: there's like a half an hour forty five minutes everybody's

736
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 4: standing around waiting, and then they go back to that crowd.

737
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: They're like, we need your energy. Like that doesn't happen

738
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 4: on the New York portion of it because you're live

739
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: and you're in times Square, so you've got that energy

740
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 4: like when you're doing the LA portion of it, because

741
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 4: it's all right, the band pares up, and then you know,

742
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 4: half an hour forty five minutes later you'll see whatever

743
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 4: band is next, and then half an hour forty five

744
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 4: minutes later you see whatever bands with next. There's so

745
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: many lulls in it. The crowd just falls asleep in

746
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 4: the middle of it. It changes yet, and so you're

747
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 4: a thousand percent right, it's fake energy because you're trying

748
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 4: to manufacture it after you've been standing around in a

749
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 4: TV studio for an hour.

750
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome. So you're not allowed to do anything,

751
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: not to go to dinner.

752
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 4: Take four, No, you go to dinner like I could

753
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 4: go to dinner. I wasn't a bigger I think probably

754
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 4: like you know that Kimberly, the lead singer, probably shouldn't

755
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 4: have gone to dinner. But yeah, now I just sat

756
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 4: at home. I just after years of working it, I

757
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 4: just sat on my hoss like no doubt, like something

758
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 4: about that's even at home. It's different.

759
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: That's chasing fits. Wait a second, Hou's he over there?

00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: it should be.

771
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 3: All right.

772
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 2: Case you just joined us with first hour and heavy

773
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: owe to football and how great college football is. And

774
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: now once we love the sport and kind of going

775
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: into it, let's get a little bit more specific this

776
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: hour and big newon kickoff. It's finally here. It's a

777
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: great story. We talked about it. It's funny because Indiana

778
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 2: has become polarizing in college football.

779
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 3: I love them, Signetty. I love that guy.

780
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 2: He's He's brash and confident and smart. A good football

781
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: coach is unafraid, undeterred. I love it, and I unabashedly

782
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 2: will root for a the Ada today.

783
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 4: Well, and what get's interesting to me is that so

784
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 4: often the conversation for the last few weeks has been

785
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 4: if Indiana gets boat raced, they'll be out of it.

786
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 4: The question here is can you stop Can anyone stop

787
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: Indiana from scoring points at a level that would actually

788
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: allow them to get boat raced? You know what I mean? Like, yeah,

789
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 4: that's the part of this because off strength, Like yeah,

790
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 4: that offense can can absolutely hum on anybody who's really efficient.

791
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 4: Their passing game is so good. The thing for me

792
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 4: is the path to victory for Ohio State seems pretty

793
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 4: simple in my mind. I know that Indiana has a

794
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 4: very good rushing defense statistically, But if you are Ohio State,

795
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 4: you do not want Will Howard to be the guy

796
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 4: that wins you this game. You want to use your

797
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 4: two superstar running backs and you just want to grind

798
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 4: it down. You want to just wear Indiana down from

799
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 4: the outset of this football game, and you're gonna hope

800
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 4: that you start to pile on points, I think particularly

801
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 4: in the third and fourth quarter, which is what I

802
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 4: think happens here. The thing of it is that's sort

803
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 4: of a more controlled game plan. So if that's a

804
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 4: controlled game plan meant to get Ohio State to likely

805
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 4: presuming that Indiana doesn't shoot themselves in the foot, that

806
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 4: gets Ohio State into the thirties. I don't think you're

807
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 4: holding Indiana to fourteen points, you know what I mean.

808
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 4: So that's why I think that the closer we get

809
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 4: to this.

810
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: Game, and this Ohio State defense isn't an epic great defense.

811
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: So no, I'm with you, And does Chip Kelly have

812
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: the patience to deploy that sort of attack?

813
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 4: This good question any better? I mean to me, I

814
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 4: can't believe we're saying this, But this is also the key,

815
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 4: Like you want to keep Indiana off the field, right,

816
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 4: Like there's just a how often my favorite phrase of

817
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 4: the last month points punts equal points, And anytime you

818
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 4: punt to Indiana at equals points, they're gonna score. So,

819
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 4: you know, I think if you're Ohio State, it becomes

820
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 4: incredibly important to be patient, but it's just, man, if

821
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 4: this game is close going into the fourth quarter, Indiana's

822
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 4: headed to the college football playoffs. So like Indiana doesn't

823
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 4: have this tremendous pressure usually in these situes.

824
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: Right to win, you have to win. It's all or nothing.

825
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 4: Yea, yeah, And I think they're playing with house money

826
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 4: a little bit. Like the expectations are so low from

827
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 4: some people. And I think Ohio State wins this game,

828
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 4: and I honestly I think they win by double digits.

829
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 4: But if the expectation is that they're gonna win by

830
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 4: twenty one to knock Indiana out of the playoff, I

831
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 4: think they'd have to score fifty to do that because

832
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 4: I just don't think. I don't think Ohio State's defense

833
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 4: is gonna hold Indiana to less than you know, mid twenties,

834
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: even if they have a great game.

835
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 2: Dude, I'm with it. I'm with it. They should score.

836
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: They should be able to. Then that's the one thing

837
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 2: about them that's legitimate. Right now, the line is sitting

838
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 2: at ten and a half. So you see a cover,

839
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: you see in.

840
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 4: A high close I see I see a cover, But man,

841
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 4: I see a cover. But I'm I'm relying on a

842
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 4: little bit. I'm relying on two things that are not

843
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 4: controllable in that cover. One is I'm relying on Ohio

844
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 4: State to be smart enough to not let Will Howard

845
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 4: try and win this football. I just don't think. I

846
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 4: think Will will make mistakes. And then I'm relying on

847
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 4: one or two mistakes in the moment from Indiana, Like

848
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 4: that's all this is. This game gets out of hand

849
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 4: if Indiana has a stupid turnover, you know, or two

850
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 4: in the first half and then all of a sudden,

851
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 4: So I do think that there is potential for that,

852
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 4: Like this is a grandiose stage, This is a grandiose

853
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 4: moment that crowd is just gonna be fired up coming

854
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 4: into it with Game Day and Big Noon both being there,

855
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 4: Like it's just ye, frankly, I love the fact that

856
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 4: it's a noon game, like because we're gonna get all

857
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 4: of this electric hype going right up to it and

858
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, bam get hit in the

859
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 4: face with kickoff.

860
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 3: So I can't lie. I mean, I do like the

861
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 3: my game better, but I feel you, I like.

862
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 4: I like everybody's freaking out about the you know, why

863
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 4: these games not at night? I don't know, I'm call me,

864
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 4: call me. I don't know, the noon thing just getting wasted.

865
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 3: You're a you're a purist.

866
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 4: I get all this this rush from like, oh my god,

867
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 4: the game is here, and then all of a sudden,

868
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 4: what like, are they really trying to convince me that

869
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 4: I want to watch this trash game at noon that

870
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 4: usually gets buried there that nobody wants, Like, I don't know,

871
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 4: I'll take I like having an actual big noon kickoff

872
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 4: after big neon, Like I just something special to that.

873
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 3: No, I hear you, I get it.

874
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 4: Called me a purist.

875
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: Now listen, the best days are when you have the

876
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 2: big noon kickoff, a great three thirty matchup, and a

877
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: great night matchup. I mean that's you know, the triple header?

878
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 2: Is there nothing better than the triple header? I thought

879
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 2: we had a triple header to tomorrow in the NFL,

880
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 2: but no party kills that.

881
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 4: Uh And now all of a sudden, you're San Francisco

882
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 4: like they don't have any wiggle room left man like,

883
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 4: So this gets so much tougher because I just think

884
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 4: that the runway is gone for San Francisco to make

885
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 4: a playoff run at this point. They can't get healthy.

886
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 4: It hasn't looked right. Even when they have been healthy,

887
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 4: they seem to be a shell of themselves.

888
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 3: I just.

889
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 4: Well, and while we're all sitting here, and I've called

890
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 4: a lot of people out on this, I think that

891
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 4: everybody's sitting here obsessed over trying to figure out a

892
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 4: way to put San Francisco in the playoffs, but not

893
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: acknowledge it at the same time that Arizona is the

894
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 4: team that actually looks like they're ahead of schedule, Like,

895
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 4: shouldn't we start giving the Cardinals a little love in

896
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 4: this process?

897
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 3: Like, well, I'll tell you what.

898
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: It's funny you brought that up because I had this

899
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: conversation yesterday my buddy Mike Garafalo from the NFL Network,

900
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 2: and we were talking about Arizona, and I know there's

901
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 2: a lot of Arizona love, and listen, it's not not warranted,

902
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 2: double negative. But here's the deal. You go and win

903
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 2: in Seattle Sunday. I'll believe in you.

904
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 4: I mean, that's fair. The funny thing is, and I

905
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 4: hear you on that Seattle has looked far more maddeningly

906
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 4: inconsistent this year than Arizona has.

907
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 3: Yes, they have.

908
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, and Arizona is doing this by being

909
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,959
Speaker 4: ahead of schedule for where we thought their defense would

910
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 4: be and behind schedule for where we thought Marvin Harrison

911
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: Junior would be. If I told you coming into the

912
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 4: season that we'd be this laid into it, Arizona would

913
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 4: be a first place team and Marvin Harrison Junior would

914
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 4: have been more weeks than not kind of a non factor.

915
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 4: We would have been stunned.

916
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 3: Stunned.

917
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: Yes, and yeah, no, I a great Did I tell

918
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: you about Marvin's brother? No, So Marvin has a younger brother,

919
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 2: Blaze Harrison. Oh god, dude, he's all everybody talks about.

920
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 2: He's a sophomore in high school. He's apparently better than

921
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 2: Marvin Blaze.

922
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 4: I can't with the name Blaze though, Like, I just can't.

923
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: Dude, that's awesome.

924
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: You don't like Blaze Blaze all Blade rules.

00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 4: No, we can't. We like Blaze is not like objectively,

926
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 4: Blaze is not a good game, a good name. What

927
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 4: are we doing now?

928
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, Saint Blaze. You don't know Blaze save

929
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: Blaze is the patron save of the throat.

930
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 4: No, I'm you're you're speaking you're speaking Latin to me. Now,

931
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 4: look Blaze is a sonic character, not a name. I'm

932
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 4: just I'm just gonna say it out loud, like guys,

933
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 4: guys want to play Mario Kart. I want Blaze like

934
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,319

Speaker 4: like a really bad like d level uh, like didn't

936

937
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 4: the l.

938
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 3: A I s C.

939
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 2: Now. I don't know how Marvin, I don't know how

940
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 2: Blaze Harrison spells it.

941
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 4: I mean it sounds like like.

942
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: If it's b l A z E. I mean that's

943
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: even better because I like it. I think it's awesome.

944
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 4: No, Blaze wasn't a Transformer. It was a gobot. Like

945
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 4: you got to go about and you're like, mom, I

946
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 4: wanted transformers. This is not a transform She's like, but

947
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 4: that's Blaze. That's a gobot. Like that's what place sounds

948
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 4: like to me. It's just no, I'm out, I'm out

949
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 4: on that. I'm on, dude. I hope he's great. Yeah,

950
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 4: I'm out of place. I hope he's a great player,

951
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 4: but I'm out of place.

952
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 2: Like all to talk is now, Blaze is going to

953
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 2: be better than Marvin. But I think he's in high

954
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 2: school goes as Saint Joe's Prep. And this high school, dude, real,

955
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 2: Crop'm sorry, I'm gonna fig because I was with the

956
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,479
Speaker 2: a d yesterday. This high school has right now eight

957
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 2: NFL players playing currently, eight from one high school.

958
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 3: Everyone they're starting linebackers.

959
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: One's going to Penn State, one's going to Ohio State,

960
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: and one's going to Georgia.

961
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 4: I mean, that's generous riches of.

962
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: That's just their linebackers. Everyone out of their team all

963
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 2: but like eight kids are playing Division one and like

964
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: they're like all check shit. I mean, you name it right,

965
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: and the only reason why and the eight could all

966
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 2: could all have offers. But like I think a handful

967
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:39,479
Speaker 2: of becoming doctors. One's going to join the CAD military. Yeah,

968
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 2: it's crazy, I can't.

969
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 4: I mean, that feels like one of those somebody better

970
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 4: be taking a bunch of footage on it so they

971
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 4: can do a thirty for thirty later. You know, it's

972
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 4: like this this particular high school.

973
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 3: Rob raising my hand because we're doing, like doing a show.

974
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 4: That's amazing. And I don't look, I don't want to

975
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 4: imply that Marvin has been bad. He hasn't been bad

976
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:04,399
Speaker 4: at all.

977
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 3: But thirty standpoint.

978
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the three catches five hundred yards. But what's

979
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 4: amazing is thirty three catches on sixty targets.

980
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they.

981
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 4: Are trying to get him the ball and it is

982
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 4: just not working. And that's to that end for them.

983
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 4: For me to say that about Arizona. But then there's

984
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 4: still six and four in the first place in their division.

985
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 4: I just I don't know. I think we're tripping over

986
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 4: ourselves to find a way to get the forty nine

987
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 4: ers in while we're not acknowledging that Arizona's ahead of

988
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 4: them right now.

989
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 2: All right, so let's go through Arizona because I like

990
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 2: to say that, here's your schedule. Week one, lose Bills

991
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 2: beating Rams, the beleaguered Rams at that time, lose to Detroit,

992
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: lose to Washington forty two, fourteen.

993
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: Beat San fran in San Fran by one. They lost

994
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 3: big to Green Bay.

995
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 2: At Green Bay, they beat the Chargers seventeen fifteen. They

996
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 2: beat the Dolphins twenty eight to twenty seven.

997
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 3: That was that. You know, the Dolphins are mess.

998
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 2: They smoke the Bears twenty nine to nine, and they

999
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 2: smoke the Jets thirty one six. I mean, it's kind

1000
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 2: of indiana Ish.

1001
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 4: But okay, I'll buy that. But here's the thing. So

1002
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 4: they are six wins right now. They still will play

1003
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 4: at home against New England Carolina the Rams. They have

1004
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 4: to go to the Rams, and then they have the

1005
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 4: forty nine ers gains. They have four winnable games left.

1006
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't struggle even if they lose twice

1007
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 4: to Seattle and lose to Minnesota their other games, I

1008
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 4: can still.

1009
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 3: But you're telling me that I got a genuflect.

1010
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 4: I'm telling you that they they're gonna get to ten wins.

1011
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 2: No, but okay, but you're telling me I got a

1012
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 2: genuflect to that team. And I go, all right, like,

1013
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 2: what's so impressive they? I mean, they got crushed by

1014
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 2: Green Bay thirty four to thirteen. They got crushed by

1015
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 2: the Commanders at home forty two fourteen.

1016
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 4: They lost by six in Buffalo, and.

1017
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 3: Okay, they lost was the first game of the.

1018
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 4: Season, and they held Detroit tighter than most. I mean,

1019
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they're a great team.

1020
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 2: It's come on, you give me, you gonna give me

1021
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 2: Irish Cardinals love.

1022
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just got to get wins.

1023
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 4: They don't want to be good. They're gonna get to

1024
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 4: ten wins. Forty are not gonna get to ten.

1025
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 2: But I only give you love if you're good and

1026
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 2: you're playing a eye popping schedule.

1027
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 3: Like that's why I give you.

1028
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 2: Go go beat Seattle in Seattle, and then I go,

1029
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 2: all right, I'll give you my respect.

1030
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 4: I think I think even if you lose to Seattle

1031
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 4: at twice in Minnesota, you're still gonna make the playoffs.

1032
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 4: So I got to just defertive that, like you're going

1033
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 4: to get to nine or ten wins. And if we

1034
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 4: look at San Francisco, San Francisco now without Brock Party,

1035
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 4: we are going to have to go.

1036
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 2: Good, time out, time out. You're sure that that nine

1037
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 2: wins the division?

1038
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 4: That division? Yeah, they've still got to beat up on

1039
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 4: each other. I don't hell, I don't trust the Seahawks.

1040
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 4: One week they look good and one week Gino looks

1041
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 4: like he has.

1042
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: Nine pretty late number. I who's to saying Rams don't

1043
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: going to run. I think the Rams are the best team.

1044
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 4: The Rams could go on a run.

1045
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's the best team in that

1046
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 2: division right now.

1047
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 4: The Rams.

1048
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 3: They just haven't been healthy.

1049
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 4: Okay, but then again, if we're going to talk about

1050
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 4: I know they haven't met healthy. But the Rams have

1051
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 4: losses to the Lions, the Cardinals, the Bears, the Packers,

1052
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 4: and the Dolphins. Their wins, the Rams wins, the good

1053
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 4: Rams wins.

1054
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, greats.

1055
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Patriots, the you know, I mean, yeah they did.

1056
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 4: They do have a win over the Vice Yeah.

1057
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: But again, but again, they've been legitimately hurt, like Cooper,

1058
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: Cupp and Puka have been out of the lineup.

1059
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 3: I mean, they just are just coming back down, the

1060
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 3: two of them.

1061
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with that, By the way, I do

1062
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 4: think that what's ahead of them. They haven't left themselves

1063
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 4: a lot of wiggle room either. And they still have

1064
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 4: the Eagles and the Bills on their schedule in addition

1065
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 4: to the rest of their division. This division is going

1066
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 4: to play each other, but when you look outside of

1067
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:26,959
Speaker 4: the division, they still have the Eagles and the Bills.

1068
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 4: They'll be a heavy favorite to both of those, or

1069
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 4: every underdog. I should say to both of those.

1070
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 2: Well, there are three point a three point dog against

1071
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 2: the Eagles Sunday night, and I'm curious about this game,

1072
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 2: Like you know, I think it's a tough game for

1073
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 2: the Eagles.

1074
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 3: I do. I think it's a tough game. I think.

1075
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 2: Now I love that there are two young defensive backs

1076
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 2: Mitchell and Dejene, because I think they've changed their the

1077
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 2: entire scope of that defense has been changed because those

1078
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 2: kids are legitimately and they're good.

1079
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 3: But this is a spot.

1080
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 4: Man.

1081
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: They're on a streak. They've won a ton in a row.

1082
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 2: Now you're gonna go to LA and you're facing a

1083
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 2: team that needs the game, and they match up and

1084
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,240
Speaker 2: you got no Devonte Smith.

1085
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still like this is one of the rare times.

1086
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 4: Usually I'm the one coming in and saying I don't

1087
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 4: know the Eagles. That Eagles defense. You mentioned their corners,

1088
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 4: but I'll also say their linebackers, their ability to just

1089
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 4: impress the middle of the defensive line. Also, like the

1090
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 4: Eagles are far better than the Rams. I think the

1091
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 4: Eagles actually win this game.

1092
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 3: They are better.

1093
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 2: And if it was a playoff game and the game

1094
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 2: was that lake a financial field, I go, you know,

1095
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 2: I make the Eagles a healthy six point favorite.

1096
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 3: But in this.

1097
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 2: Spot, because since the league is all about spot right, like,

1098
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna have letdown, You're not gonna win

1099
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: every game. The Eagles are on an epic streak. They've

1100
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 2: won six in a row. I mean, I'll tell you're

1101
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 2: off the bat as a you know, growing up an

1102
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 2: Eagles fan, like this was like I love their defense

1103
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 2: is legitimate and it makes me feel great, Like they're good,

1104
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 2: but they're not above you know, getting beaten LA on

1105
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 2: a on a Sunday night by some great skill people.

1106
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1107
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 4: I still think to the Sunday night aspect of this

1108
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 4: is even good for a West Coast or an East

1109
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 4: Coast team going west, like you're not playing early, you know,

1110
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 4: you've got Sunday night action, Like, yeah, all of this,

1111
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 4: I think the Eagles win this game by ten. I'm

1112
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 4: confident in Philly. Wow, I think we're I think we're

1113
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 4: overstating a little bit the Rams. It's just just there's

1114
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 4: a little bit of McVeigh bias here, like we're all

1115
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 4: just looking at it saying, well, you know, look at

1116
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 4: how But again, the Rams have beaten up on some

1117
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 4: bad teams. I don't think the Rams necessarily looked great

1118
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 4: last week against the against the Patriots, and then people say, well,

1119
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 4: the Patriots are playing hard. Well, yeah, I know that,

1120
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna presume that the Eagles play hard too,

1121
00:57:58,880 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 4: and the Eagles are better than.

1122
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 2: The Yeah, but that doesn't But that equation doesn't work.

1123
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: That's because team A. But that doesn't.

1124
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 4: We we bend over backwards. Also, when when a bad

1125
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 4: team plays, stuff like, oh, they're really fighting hard for

1126
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 4: their coaches, like, yeah, but they still suck.

1127
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's let me give you an example. Let

1128
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: me just give you an example. Thursday night. I love

1129
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 2: Cleveland in that game, right, I'm telling everybody, Cleveland, Cleveland,

1130
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 2: They're gonna went out right Cleveland, Cleveland.

1131
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 3: Oh, we're getting in Pittsburgh. Just beat Baltimore and they

1132
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 3: shut Baltimore down.

1133
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: And you come on, James Winston, I'm like telling you,

1134
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 2: it's a spot, and look at the spot.

1135
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 3: This is the perfect spot for.

1136
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland to rise up. And I think Sunday night it's

1137
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 2: a spot. I think when you match it up, particularly

1138
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 2: the Devonte Smith for the Eagles, it's that it's gonna

1139
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: be a tough game.

1140
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 3: Deadline's three. What's that telling you?

1141
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 4: It tells me that maybe they they they have a

1142
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 4: different view in the game than I have. I'll say

1143
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 4: this the Browns, like, I mean, I'm just saying the

1144
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 4: Browns minus the quarterback position, the Browns have a pretty

1145
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 4: good roster across the board that we've been surprised as underperformed.

1146
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 4: And frankly, for all the love that was hitting everybody

1147
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 4: for Philly, beaton Baltimore, which was their defense, played lights

1148
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 4: out that Baltimore. That Baltimore Ravens defense is absolute awful,

1149
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 4: just football, and and the fact to me that they

1150
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 4: only put up eighteen against him was a little bit

1151
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 4: of a weird thing to me. So I could see

1152
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 4: how we got to that. I don't, man, I don't

1153
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 4: see the saying on this. I'm confident. I'm confident in

1154
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 4: the Eagles winning this football.

1155
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 3: And here's the deal.

1156
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 2: I hope you're you're talking to me, right, you know me,

1157
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm your brother, right.

1158
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, no, no light for you today, brother.

1159
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 2: I'm a I love the and I want and you know,

1160
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: deep down now I try to be objective and analyze it,

1161
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 2: and so you know, I don't come here with green

1162
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 2: pomp pomps. So I go, you know, I look the

1163
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 2: way I look at it. I'm telling you. So, I

1164
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 2: hope you're right, But I I know this team. I

1165
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: know I haven't see it. I see the matchup, what's

1166
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 2: going to be interesting? All right, Well, we've got lots

1167
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 2: to do. Man, Oh my god, we're for a break.

1168
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 2: We got to take quick time out. This is the

1169

Speaker 3: Isn't it the best?

1171
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:39,480

1178
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: dot com studios. Uh, I got a question for you

1179
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 2: and off of the Lebron announce and that he's on

1180
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 2: he's off of social media. I'm just curious if you

1181
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 2: and you know, he cites how negative and toxic that

1182
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 2: social media is really in the sports space of it all,

1183
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 2: and I'm curious that, uh, you know, is it too negative?

1184
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 3: Like because there's things that I agree.

1185
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 2: I agree with him in a lot of ways, like

1186
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 2: and then I feel guilty sometimes because we started the

1187
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: show off by loving on football, right, just you know,

1188
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 2: something as simple as hey, man, the snow game.

1189
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Was great, and then I go right into comparing.

1190
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: The NBA Cup because the NBA Cup I just feel

1191
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 2: like it's scam. So I go positive, but then I

1192
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: go negative.

1193
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I think negativity, like it or not, is

1194
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 4: part of where we all go to as a society, right,

1195
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 4: more often than not, when there's an outcome in a game,

1196
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 4: do we focus on how good the winner is or

1197
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 4: how much the loser must suck? Like do we do

1198
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 4: we sit there and say how did they blow that game?

1199
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 4: Or do we sit there and say how do they

1200
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 4: win that game? You know, like we were not not

1201
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 4: necessarily we you and I, but just as a society,

1202
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 4: when there's an interception, it's never what a great.

1203
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,479
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I hate it. I don't

1204
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 3: like the negative.

1205
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 2: I think we should celebrate sports and and I do

1206
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 2: like there is we have a job, right so our

1207
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 2: job is like to look at and from the fans perspective.

1208
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 2: Sports media is like any other media to the sports

1209
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 2: radio is for the fans. You don't do shows for

1210
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 2: players and coaches and organizations for fans, right, Like that's

1211
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 2: the consumer and that's it's for them. It's their voice.

1212
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 2: That's how you know, that's how it all started. And

1213
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 2: by the way, just football fans, remember to tune into

1214
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

1222
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 3: But you get my point, Like so sometimes it's warned.

1223
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 2: It's like I felt like the NBA Cup needed to

1224
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 2: get smashed a little bit because I think it's a

1225
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: scam on the sports, on the fans.

1226
01:03:59,240 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 4: But like when we.

1227
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 2: Talk about play, shouldn't we approach like I know you do,

1228
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 2: But shouldn't we approach it where we celebrate a little

1229
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 2: bit more?

1230
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 4: Noah, we should, But it doesn't work like that. That's

1231
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 4: the funny thing is that it the tone people want

1232
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 4: and the things that get clicks and the things like

1233
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 4: everybody calls things clickbait, and like, guys, there's a there's

1234
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 4: a fine line here, you know, there's a difference between

1235
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 4: clickbait and what they say in our business all the time,

1236
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 4: which is play the hits, right, Like, there's a difference

1237
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,439
Speaker 4: between I'm saying this just because I want to fire

1238
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 4: everybody up and find some way for people to react

1239
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 4: to it, versus just coming in and saying, hey, like

1240
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 4: this is the topic in hand. People love to talk

1241
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,959
Speaker 4: about the Lakers nationally, so we're going to talk about

1242
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 4: the Lakers like that's there's a difference on those And

1243
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 4: where I think Lebron is sort of right is that

1244
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 4: the the social media empowerment of voices. And I say

1245
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 4: this all the time, like everybody, you're allowed to say

1246
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 4: whatever you want, but it comes with consequence, right, And

1247
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 4: we've forgotten that consequence so often if I post something

1248
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 4: about college football that you know, like I think the

1249
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 4: current playoff system is convoluted, and that's I said that

1250
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 4: one of my Yahoo videos this week that, like, to me,

1251
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 4: it's stupid that a bunch of smart people couldn't come

1252
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 4: up with a better, easily explainable concept for it. And

1253
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 4: the first comments coming back on it is who's this guy?

1254
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 4: He's a bum. I've never heard of him. This guy sucks,

1255
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 4: Like that's just part of what Lebron's talking about. Is

1256
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 4: it the way and it's not even just the way

1257
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 4: we cover it. It's like every single ounce of sports

1258
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 4: media now has become I'm going to be meaner to

1259
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 4: you than the next person, and I'll be so mean

1260
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 4: that you'll acknowledge it. And I can see why. If

1261
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 4: you're Lebron, you look right, You're like, man, I don't

1262
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 4: need this. Like Twitter was originally so cool to me

1263
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 4: because I was able to connect with writers and musicians

1264
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 4: and people i'd never meet another walks of life, create

1265
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 4: real friendships. Like you were able to see into people's

1266
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 4: lives in a really cool way, Like there was an

1267
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 4: open conversation with people that you would never get to

1268
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 4: talk to, and that was awesome. Now it's just everybody

1269
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 4: yelling at everybody and telling everybody else what a moron

1270
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 4: they are, and it's like it's like exhausting. At some point,

1271
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 4: you if you're worth a billion dollars and you're out

1272
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 4: here like playing basketball, the game you love, maybe get

1273
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 4: off social media just because, Like I'd say the same

1274
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 4: thing to Joel Embiid, who cares what anybody says. Just

1275
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 4: go just go do your job, Like do what you

1276
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 4: love to do and stay off of it. But you

1277
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 4: know that and look to sidebar on this too. But

1278
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 4: the number of times right now I have, particularly young

1279
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 4: people that will come in and be like, there's not

1280
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 4: even time for me in my life. I don't have

1281
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 4: time to do anything. I can't you know, I don't

1282
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 4: know how people function when they have to work forty

1283
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 4: hour work week and they have to raise kids and

1284
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 4: they have to do Like we hear this complaint constantly,

1285
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 4: and my number one answer when to all of that

1286
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 4: is well they've been doing it for generations without cell phones.

1287
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 4: It's like, look at your screen time. You're telling me

1288
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 4: you don't have time. Look at your screen time. How

1289
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 4: many hours this week did you spend on a cell phone?

1290
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 4: And you say you don't have time to do anything else? Like, yeah,

1291
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 4: you do, You're just not managing your time. So, like

1292
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 4: we've all gotten sucked into this vacuum of hate on

1293
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 4: social media where it's like let's yell at each other

1294
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, you're doing I'm scrolling

1295
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 4: and you're like, well I just spent three hours to

1296
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 4: night on my couch reading other people's hateful comments on Twitter.

1297
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 4: It can'tnot. It can't be good for anybody's mentals.

1298
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Dude, beautifully said, great said, well said, beautifully stated. I

1299
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 2: mean it is a you're right, it's such a time waste.

1300
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 2: Oh god, it is like you could be consuming other

1301
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 2: things like we will.

1302
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 3: I lament. You know, I'm a dinosaur because I lament.

1303
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Nobody reads right or nobody nobody watches good TV. And

1304
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 2: it's you're right, three out, you spent three hours just scrolling.

1305
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 2: It just time just dissipates, and it's just nonsense. It's

1306
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: so much just nonsense, and it's you're right. It's it's awful.

1307
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 2: And I I and I guess that's our nature as

1308
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 2: human beings, which is to be nasty with under the

1309
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 2: cloak of anonymity like the see I never understood now

1310
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I could tell you. And this is just my personality.

1311
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 2: But I've never posted anything negative towards anyone, Like I

1312
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 2: would never comment on I don't comment, but if I did,

1313
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 2: I would never comment about nonsense. Like you know, if

1314
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 2: it's a discussion, that's one thing, right, but you know,

1315
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 2: like call people names, it's just so disrespectful and it's

1316
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 2: so it's such cowardice, like you know, I mean, give

1317
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 2: me a break, like if if you're not going to

1318
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 2: say anything to somebody's face, And that's that's the one

1319
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 2: issue that I've always had with it, which is like,

1320
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 2: you know, you have to treat it like you would

1321
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 2: you would talk to somebody in their face. Like I

1322
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 2: don't understand how that gets how that's okay to.

1323
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,480
Speaker 3: Smile people that way.

1324
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 4: This all could have been solved years ago if they

1325
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 4: simply required a credit card to sign up for every

1326
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 4: single social media site that backs it with your name

1327
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 4: and address, and don't let people use anything other than

1328
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 4: their actual names. Like if you made people put their

1329
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 4: actual names and on the back end of the app

1330
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 4: their names and addresses behind everything that they say on

1331
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 4: social media. The problem is like the Twitter x's of

1332
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 4: the world don't want to do that because they want

1333
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,480
Speaker 4: burner accounts, so they want tons of action that's anonymous.

1334
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 4: They want the conflict. Like I have talked to several

1335
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,600
Speaker 4: people about this that work in social media and conflict

1336
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 4: content creation is a real thing. Like they have figured

1337
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 4: out on social media that everybody's saying, oh, I love

1338
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 4: this doesn't get more traction, but people saying I hate

1339
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 4: this does. So the algorithms now are built to support

1340
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 4: whatever it is that you are looking at. They're going

1341
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 4: to put the comments that, by the algorithm, are most

1342
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 4: likely to get you to react at the top. You're

1343
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 4: going to see the most of it. This is something

1344
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 4: that Twitter, X and Instagram and Facebook all work on.

1345
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:06,480
Speaker 4: So their algorithm is designed to create anxiety, which creates conversations.

1346
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 4: So like, if you had to put everybody's name and

1347
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 4: face on it, and you had to put an actual,

1348
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 4: real address on every single account, then let's see what

1349
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 4: the tone would be like, and maybe then it would

1350
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 4: no longer make sense for social media companies to prioritize

1351
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 4: hate comments or or angry comments. You know. That's that's

1352
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 4: the way that they get conflicts, which gets more traction.

1353
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 4: It's it's it's really become a gross world. Look, if

1354
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 4: I didn't have to be on social media for my work,

1355
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 4: I wouldn't. There's really no gain in any of what

1356
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 4: social media has become now.

1357
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 2: Dude, listen, I'm with you. I mean I feel the

1358
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 2: same way. I mean, I use it just as a

1359
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 2: tool were they're anything. I mean, you know, I'll tell you, like.

1360
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 4: I will say quick, I genuinely love and appreciate every

1361
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 4: person that takes the time to listen to this show

1362
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 4: or watch any of my content. And you know that,

1363
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 4: and people that know me know that. And I've said

1364
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 4: for years, like I'm so lucky that I've spent most

1365
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 4: of the last twenty years of my life working in

1366
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 4: fans supported industries, right, like, so the fact that people

1367
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 4: have supported my work means everything, and connecting with those

1368
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 4: people on social media is amazing. But I'm also man

1369
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 4: enough to admit that for every one comment I get

1370
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 4: from somebody that's like, man, I love the show, then

1371
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 4: I get ten comments that are like you're trash, You're

1372
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 4: a horrible human being. I don't know why anybody ever

1373
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 4: listens to you, and those like like those do sit

1374
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 4: in my head like they aren't great for me. So,

1375
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 4: like it is tough, but I want to say loudly.

1376
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 3: Who wants to rely? Who wants to see that?

1377
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 2: Like nobody wants to see that sort of thing, And

1378
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 2: it messages with your head a little bit, you know,

1379
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 2: until you get to the point where you go, I

1380
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 2: could give two I could care less, all right, you know,

1381
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:42,799
Speaker 2: enjoy your miserable life.

1382
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 3: I had a good day, Like that's it.

1383
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 2: But to your point, it's a shame because it does

1384
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 2: ruin the connection that you have with people that you're like, wow,

1385

01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,040

1390
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:12,519

1418
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 7: You said only Rocky one or only Rocky two? No,

1419
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 7: Rocky four?

1420
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything after two is trash. I mean I could

1421
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 2: do with cluver Lane, I could do a couple of

1422
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: coup l I mean that was watchable and you know,

1423
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 2: somewhat entertaining.

1424
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 3: I would agree, right.

1425
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 4: Hate woman, I'm gonna show you a real man.

1426
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 3: Come on over to my place. What's your forecast for

1427
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 3: a fight?

1428
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 4: Pain?

1429
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 3: Your prediction?

1430
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 4: Pain?

1431
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, as a good film. Yeah,

1432
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 2: it's one and two, that's it. Three Loves are four?

1433
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 4: I mean there's sort of I'm gonna have to say

1434
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 4: there is a bit of a nostalgia to four. To me,

1435
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 4: like four was a big deal when I was a kid, Like,

1436
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 4: so it is for a bad movie objectively.

1437
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, well it's a horrible movie.

1438
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 2: So rock you all of a sudden, who is a

1439
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 2: Peluca from my neighborhood. It's all of a sudden arandite

1440
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:57,639
Speaker 2: and solving the Cold War?

1441
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, that's fair.

1442
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 3: There's I mean, he's a bitter problems I.

1443
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 4: Wasn't paying attention to when I was a kid, that's fairness.

1444
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 4: I was just thinking, oh, man, Rocky is fighting he man,

1445
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 4: that's just about as far as my brain with.

1446
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 7: And like he's avenging Apollo. It's like it's some kind

1447
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 7: of it's like a love, you know, it's like a friendship,

1448
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 7: it's a bond. It's their whole history.

1449
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 2: One of the reasons why well the bree started doing it,

1450
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 2: give us your your your invitation.

1451
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 7: Said, if he dies, he dies, like.

1452
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 2: She was doing movie lines for for Mark and I,

1453
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 2: uh so I'll give you this FITSI that franchise. So

1454
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 2: I was having this conversation there's no Thanksgiving movies, and

1455
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 2: I was trying to think other than planes, trains and automobiles, right,

1456
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 2: and I was trying to think about it. The only

1457
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 2: thing that is there is like something with Thanksgiving in it,

1458
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 2: And Rocky in the original had Thanksgiving in it.

1459
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 3: You remember that?

1460
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 4: No, I did not remember that. I haven't seen it

1461
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 4: rock like twenty years, right, yeah.

1462
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 3: So believe me.

1463
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 2: I mean I can't escape it where I live, right,

1464
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 2: so whatever, But he comes home, Rocky comes goes to

1465
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 2: police house to meet Adrian and it's Thanksgiving Day and

1466
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 2: he says he wants to take her out on a date.

1467
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 2: And she goes, listen, I cook Thanksgiving dinner and I

1468
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 2: got the turkey in the oven and he and Paulie,

1469
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 2: who was a creek, takes the turkey. Well, you want

1470
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 2: the bird, go out in the alley and eat the bird,

1471
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 2: and he throws the turkey, takes the turkey leg off

1472
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 2: to eat and he throws the rest of the turkey

1473
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: in the alley. And then she finally goes out with

1474
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 2: Rocky and that's where they love bud over.

1475
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:02,959
Speaker 3: Skating, but they have a Thanksgiving motif.

1476
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 4: There's no Rocky a Thanksgiving movie.

1477
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, It's just like die Hard is a

1478
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 2: Christmas movie.

1479
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 4: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. I die on

1480
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 4: this hill all the time, but this is my easiest

1481
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 4: argument on die Hard. It was released in the summer.

1482
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,759
Speaker 4: No history has ever released a Christmas movie in the summer,

1483
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 4: So we could sit here all day and debate what

1484
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 4: we think it is because it's a it's an action

1485
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 4: movie that takes place at Christmas time, and I don't

1486
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 4: know why they decided to release it in the summer,

1487
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 4: but they did. And no movie with Christmas spirit that's

1488
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 4: been intended to be, like, they didn't release Home Alone

1489
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 4: in June for a reason. So that's the end of

1490
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 4: my Diehard. So yeah, but I'm gonna listen.

1491
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 2: I think listen, I'll give you a check and a mate,

1492
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, I like, I feel

1493
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 2: you on that. But I was trying to come up

1494
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:54,480
Speaker 2: with something that's Thanksgiving related. Thanksgiving a is a great holiday.

1495
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's no you know, Christmas, New Year's.

1496
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 4: It's because I hope our friendship can stend this statement.

1497
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 4: But Thanksgiving is wildly overrated. The food's really not all

1498
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 4: that good.

1499
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 3: I agree.

1500
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 4: Most people don't really want to spend the day with

1501
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 4: their friendly The number of people that I know that

1502
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 4: are like, oh, I gotta go hang out with the

1503
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 4: family Thanksgiving. I'm like, you don't want to see your family.

1504
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 4: Turkey kind of objectively sucks, like most of the food

1505
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 4: is kind of overrated, like pious trash. So you know,

1506
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 4: it's just up and down the list on reasons, like

1507
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 4: I mean, Thanksgiving. The best thing about Thanksgiving is they

1508
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 4: get to watch football all day. The rest of it.

1509
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 4: You know, it's just it is the most overrated holiday

1510
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,879
Speaker 4: in the calendar. And that includes things like Saint Patrick's

1511
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 4: Day or you know, Marty Graw or whatever other like

1512
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 4: party calendar, you have any of that that that's less

1513
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 4: overrated than Thanksgiving.

1514
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 3: Dude, I listen.

1515
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 2: I'd like it because we have a tradition where my

1516
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 2: friends that we grew up together, we play a turkey

1517
01:18:57,040 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 2: ball every year and then we go to a local bar,

1518
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 2: like right in the shadows of the Lincoln Financial Field,

1519
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,640
Speaker 2: and we now we have all the kids and we

1520
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 2: do the same thing. We take the kids there and

1521
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: we watched the first half of the Lions game and

1522
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 2: everybody loves it. It's a great way to get together.

1523
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 2: And we got to continue the story later where the

1524
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,920

1534
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 2: the slate, shall we today? And of course it all

1535
01:19:55,920 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 2: begins with number five versus number two Indiana Ohio State.

1536
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 2: Now just five hours from big noon kickoff. Uh, let

1537
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 2: me ask you, because we talked about it earlier. We're

1538
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 2: talking about this game and kind of looking at it,

1539
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 2: and clearly Ohio State should be able to score. You know,

1540
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 2: that's the one area is going to be Can Indian

1541
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 2: to keep up?

1542
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 3: Can it? Can it get a couple of stops? That's all.

1543
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 3: That's what Indiana is gonna be looking at.

1544
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 2: Hey man, we just need a stop or two, right,

1545
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 2: give our offense, which is our best part of our team,

1546
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 2: which is potent, and they'll be able to move the

1547
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,759
Speaker 2: ball to Ohio State. But Can they get a couple

1548
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 2: stops to get some put some scare into the Buckeyes.

1549
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, and that's gonna be easier said than done.

1550
01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 4: Just you know this. The funny thing is, is a

1551
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 4: feeling out period in this game? Or do you come

1552
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 4: right in from the outset with the crowd that's going

1553
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 4: to be lathered up at noon and really expects Oh,

1554
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 4: I always stay to explode out of the gates. I

1555
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 4: think Indiana's going to have to show too in this

1556
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 4: process that they can handle the first ten minutes of

1557
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 4: what this game's going to feel like. As much as

1558
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 4: we talk about well, you know, kids now better than

1559
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 4: ever handling the moment, this Indiana football team hasn't been

1560
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 4: around what this moment's going to be like ever. So

1561
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 4: I just don't think we can know how they're going

1562
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 4: to handle that, how's work going to handle that? How

1563
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 4: are they going to handle silent account that they're going

1564
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 4: to have to be in? And I always go back

1565
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 4: two years ago. You know, I was working with AJ

1566
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 4: McCarron on something and he talked about how they were

1567
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 4: playing when Alabama was playing Florida in the swamp. They

1568
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 4: knew that they had to score on the opening drive,

1569
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 4: because if they didn't score on the opening drive, the

1570
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 4: crowd would get just to a point where they couldn't communicate.

1571
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,440
Speaker 4: And on that opening drive they had called two timeouts

1572
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 4: because they couldn't communicate and everybody was just freaking out,

1573
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 4: and they were able to get a touchdown. And by

1574
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 4: getting a touchdown on that opening drive, it brought the

1575
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 4: crowd down that ten percent, and that ten percent was

1576
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:07,839
Speaker 4: enough for them to get a touchdown on the next drive.

1577
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 4: Before you know it, games out of hand. They're able

1578
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 4: to win easily. And so he always talked about that

1579
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 4: as a key to the first ten minutes. I think

1580
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 4: Indiana's got to accept that, you know, a small mistake

1581
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 4: in this game and the opening couple of drives could

1582
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 4: turn into eruptive you know, crowd disturbance in this process too.

1583
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 4: So there's just a lot on Indiana's plate to be

1584
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 4: able to manage. Maybe they can. But you know me,

1585
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 4: I love proof of concept. We haven't seen it, so

1586
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:31,799
Speaker 4: I have no idea.

1587
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, listen, I get you, and I do believe,

1588
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, there's a reason why we're you know,

1589
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's skeptical, and I think people, it's weird

1590
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 2: how Indiana has become polarizing. There's a lot of people

1591
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,719
Speaker 2: that it's bizarre. You made the point earlier. I couldn't

1592
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 2: agree with it more that there's so many people rooting

1593
01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 2: for Ohio State when this is a natural if you

1594
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 2: don't have any sort of you know, rooting interests, you know,

1595
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 2: affiliation toward either team. I mean, it stands the reason

1596
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 2: that you would root for the other dog. That's what

1597
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 2: we all do.

1598
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 3: But how come they get no love.

1599
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 4: Because people are afraid right now that Indiana is going

1600
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 4: to take a bid that they think their favorite team deserves.

1601
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 4: I just there because now, in this twelve team college

1602
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 4: football playoff, I mean, we're not even talking about the

1603
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 4: fact that Texas A and M has a very clear

1604
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 4: path to winning the SEC and currently they are not

1605
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 4: in the twelve team playoff. So when you start looking

1606
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 4: at it and saying, well, wait a minute, I think

1607
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 4: everybody's had this awakening. Wait, so you're telling me that

1608
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 4: the top five conference champions are going to go, which

1609
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 4: means there's a chance that a team ranked in the

1610
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 4: mid teens could go from the Big twelve. And then

1611
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 4: there's a chance that a team ranked what ten to eleven,

1612
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,839
Speaker 4: twelve depending on what happens, could go from the ACC

1613
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 4: and then God only knows who the is it right

1614
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 4: now Boise State. So now all of a sudden, you're

1615
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:03,600
Speaker 4: just doing quick math. You're like, man, there aren't that

1616
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 4: many open slots available, And if you're an SEC fan,

1617
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 4: you're sitting there saying, well, we deserve five teams. And

1618
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 4: if you're a big ten fan, you're sitting there saying, well,

1619
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 4: we definitely, like Indiana should definitely make the playoff. So

1620
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden it becomes it's not just

1621
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 4: about Indiana. It's about Indiana over another team that, you know,

1622
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 4: another fan base that thinks they're more deserving. If you're

1623
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 4: if you're an SEC apologist, right now, your whole logic

1624
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 4: is Indiana's played no one, we've played people. We should

1625
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 4: go even if we have more losses. And this just

1626
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:33,599
Speaker 4: it's where this just gets uglier and uglier.

1627
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess you're right.

1628
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 2: I guess It's also part of the great the fund

1629
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 2: is that when you open it up and you got

1630
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 2: all those spots, right or is that what you know?

1631
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 3: That's what you get?

1632
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 4: Man, you gain you want to tell me, like year one,

1633
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 4: we're gonna get if the playoffs are right now, we'd

1634
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 4: be getting Boise State BYU in Indiana and the College

1635
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 4: Football Playoff. Tell me anybody had that on their Bengo card.

1636
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, yeah, Now it's a it's a great point,

1637
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 2: it is. But I will say they have the elements

1638
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 2: of a great underdog story, right because the coach comes

1639
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 2: from obscurity. He's a really good coach, by the way.

1640
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 2: He's a winner, you know, yeah uh, and he he

1641
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:32,600
Speaker 2: comes from obscurity, and he brings this belief to this team.

1642
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they were, they were, they're a fun team

1643
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 2: and and look they're they're. Everything that's good about modern

1644
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 2: college football that gives hopes to anybody is that, hey,

1645
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 2: you know what, you get the right coach and who

1646
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 2: knows how to build a team and has an I

1647
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 2: L a little n I L money and and a

1648
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 2: good view to the portal. You can you can make

1649
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:00,559
Speaker 2: yourself a content there.

1650
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 4: Which is just such a How often have we been

1651
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 4: saying almost for a year, we've been sitting there saying

1652
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 4: the best thing about college football right now is if

1653
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 4: you want it, you can buy it, and if you

1654
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 4: told somebody, hey, five years ago, if you told a

1655
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 4: program like Indiana, we're just gonna have to spend some money.

1656
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 4: But if you spend that money, man, you can get

1657
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 4: into college football playoff. We would have laughed at that concept. Now,

1658
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 4: well all you got to do is raise that money.

1659
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 4: And for everybody that sits here and says again that

1660
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 4: this sport is broken, man, I don't know. Like I'm

1661
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 4: looking at Indiana, spend the money and they have already

1662
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 4: spent more money on signetti, rightfully, So you look at

1663
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 4: that and you say, hey, there's a path to this.

1664
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 4: At Boise State, you're looking around saying there's a path

1665
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 4: to this, like as a you know, as a UNLV fan,

1666
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it and saying, man, I hope Colorado

1667
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 4: State loses tonight. Why, Like, when when have we ever

1668
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:52,879
Speaker 4: cared about a Colorado State came this late in the season.

1669
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 4: You know, like it's right there for everybody. If you

1670
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 4: spend your way into it, you get a high quality coach,

1671
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 4: you can build a program that can be successful.

1672
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 2: No, it's true, And you know it's it's so interesting

1673
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 2: because you you look at this thing and the way

1674
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 2: it all plays out, and you go Wow, all right,

1675
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 2: you know I see it. It's like bad eefitts itself.

1676
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 2: Let's look at this game now, clearly the big advantage.

1677
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Ohio State is a juggernaut, right, so

1678
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 2: we get it. But I don't think they're gonna be

1679
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 2: able to shut Indiana down. I think Indiana is going

1680
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 2: to be able to move the ball. And I keep

1681
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 2: going back to stops. But can you see in a

1682
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 2: world you get it where I thank you, where the

1683
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,759
Speaker 2: Indiana is able to stop Ohio State.

1684
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 4: No, look, I think I think Ohio State wins this

1685
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 4: game because I don't think Indiana is going to be

1686
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 4: able to stop them in. Indiana is going to get

1687
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 4: worn down out of the course of the full game.

1688
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 4: But that being said, you're so right that, like at

1689
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 4: some point you're looking at this Indiana passing offense and say, man,

1690
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 4: this Indiana passing offense has been able to get it

1691
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 4: done in such alarming fashion this year. God, this is

1692
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 4: a beautiful it's a beautiful test for Ohio State, right,

1693
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,719
Speaker 4: Like you're not gonna face another Like we keep saying,

1694
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,599
Speaker 4: Indiana hasn't taken on a team like Ohio State. Ohio

1695
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 4: State hasn't taken on an offense like Indiana's, you know.

1696
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 4: And so look, I think that Indiana's gonna be able

1697
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,719
Speaker 4: to score substantially. And that's why I just don't think

1698
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,679
Speaker 4: even though I think Ohio State is a better football

1699
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 4: team and will win this game, I just don't think

1700
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:30,600
Speaker 4: they'll be able to run them out of the stadium

1701
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 4: because I don't know that you can stop Indiana from

1702
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 4: still putting up twenty, you know, twenty eight points, let's say.

1703
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 4: And if they put up twenty eight points, the only

1704
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 4: way you're beating them by enough to really take them

1705
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 4: out of contention is if you're putting up fifty, and

1706
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,679
Speaker 4: I just don't think Ohio State could do that. This

1707
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 4: this feels to me more like we end this thing

1708
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 4: at like thirty five twenty one, you know, or thirty

1709
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 4: eight twenty eight. It feels like it comes oup my.

1710
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 3: Great I do.

1711
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 2: All right, we spent a lot of time talking about

1712
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 2: this game, as well we should. But let's go around

1713
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 2: around the afternoon, so I can I ask you something, Miami.

1714
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't understand Miami. I don't think they're good.

1715
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 4: Hey, look, I died on the Miami Hill, and I

1716
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 4: literally died on it. Because I sat here and said, no, no, no,

1717
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 4: Miami's not getting enough love. And then the what they do?

1718
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 4: They went out and lost that week.

1719
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 3: So well, you know you and I were I die.

1720
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 4: We different on this one.

1721
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 3: I don't like them. I haven't liked them all year.

1722
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,679
Speaker 3: I don't get them. They're not good.

1723
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 4: They have one great two great players they have. They

1724
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 4: have a couple of great players. Let's say it that way,

1725
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 4: and that's I mean the calling car for them. But

1726
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 4: you know, we sat here, I think it was last week,

1727
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:43,680
Speaker 4: we sat here talking about that Georgia Tech game. What

1728
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 4: was that November night? Okay, we were talking about that

1729
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 4: Georgia Tech game and then a peek behind the curtain

1730
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 4: for everybody. We were texting. I was standing on the

1731
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 4: treadmill at the gym working out, and he just said,

1732
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 4: you text me like, Miami stinks. I'm like, oh, no,

1733
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 4: they do.

1734
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 3: You're right.

1735
01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:01,679
Speaker 4: I mean. The funny thing is, you know, it all

1736
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 4: came back to haunt them in that game, and Georgia

1737
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:06,720
Speaker 4: Tech did the one thing that I mean, we all

1738
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 4: knew Miami's defense was a house of cards and fraudulent,

1739
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 4: right right, Well, what's amazing is that Georgia Tech was like,

1740
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,720
Speaker 4: all right, then we will just run, we will run

1741
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 4: the football the entire time and then let's just see

1742
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 4: what you can get done. And my god, they did.

1743
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 4: Like so, you know, it's just cam Ward can't save

1744
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 4: the team if he's not on the field, and he

1745
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 4: had a couple opportunities late they weren't able to get

1746
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:29,320
Speaker 4: it done. But you just can't live that way. You

1747
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 4: can't live that way. So now what I think the

1748
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 4: committee set it up a little bit for so they

1749
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 4: keep Miami where they are. SMU is still right on

1750
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 4: the outside looking in. So the SMU Miami ACC Championship game,

1751
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 4: the winner, we'll get in the College Football Playoff. It's

1752
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 4: that easy, you know. It's like, but but you're right,

1753
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:46,679
Speaker 4: is Miami actually a good team?

1754
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 5: Man?

1755
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 4: That defense is just scary bad. That defense.

1756
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 2: That's the next iteration this whole thing, right, which is,

1757
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 2: you know you got to wake the conferences differently, and yeah,

1758
01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 2: at some point, these all the conferences just got to

1759
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 2: go way.

1760
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 3: You know, let's be honest with you, and it's just.

1761
01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:07,599
Speaker 2: Got to be two conferences and that's it, AFC, NFC,

1762
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 2: and then you have all the smaller ones that I

1763
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 2: don't know you can play for a different you know,

1764
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 2: something that large bid.

1765
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 3: But like it's just you know the fact that they're

1766
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 3: ranked what fifth or eighth?

1767
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 4: Eight eighth? I mean, come on, they're ranked eighth, but

1768
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 4: they would be seated with a buye in a home game.

1769
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:33,799
Speaker 3: Like I know it pisces me off because they stick.

1770
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mean or whatever,

1771
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 2: but I just don't think they're very good now.

1772
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Old Miss.

1773
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 2: Is nine and Old Miss is legit like Old Miss,

1774
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 2: Like I think Old Miss crushes Florida today, and I

1775
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:54,679
Speaker 2: think Old Miss is a team that could actually make

1776
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 2: a real run.

1777
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:57,719
Speaker 3: Like they're built.

1778
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 2: They finally got over the hump and they and they

1779
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 2: won a game. They beat a good opponent, right like

1780
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:06,639
Speaker 2: they they unlike Penn State.

1781
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 3: They beat that.

1782
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:13,480
Speaker 2: They've slayed their dragon, so now they have confidence. They're dangerous.

1783
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:19,639
Speaker 4: Yeah. By the way, I got just destroyed by everybody

1784
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 4: this summer. When I put up my college football National

1785
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 4: Championship preview pick and my my national championship I just

1786
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 4: I went for total KOs. I'm the first to admit that.

1787
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 4: But my championship game pick was Oregon versus Ole Miss,

1788
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 4: And everybody told me, I had lost my damn mind

1789
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,559
Speaker 4: and my whole logic. Gun is like, look, I know,

1790
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 4: we all know that it's tough to trust Lane Kivin

1791
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 4: in these big games. I hear it, we all hear it,

1792
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:45,680
Speaker 4: we all see it. But at the same time, I

1793
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:48,240
Speaker 4: trust Jackson Dart, you know, And so for me it

1794
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,720
Speaker 4: was kind of that simple. I trust Jackson Dart and

1795
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 4: I feel good about that now. So you know that

1796
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 4: defensive line for ole Miss showed up, showed out. I'm

1797
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 4: with you. I think they absolutely rolled floored at somebody

1798
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 4: the other day. Try and tell me that Florida could

1799
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 4: put them on upset alert. I'm like, I just I

1800
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 4: don't see it. Nah, this is a Florida team that

1801
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 4: I genuinely believe. They put out the statement about retaining

1802
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 4: Billy and Napier before the Texas game because they knew

1803
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 4: internally they were going to get destroyed by Texas, so

1804
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 4: they wanted to get ahead of the conversation on it.

1805
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 4: Nice little win the week after, but it's still the

1806
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:21,160
Speaker 4: team that got just destroyed.

1807
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:24,280
Speaker 2: Well, lsus is, come on, I mean there are you

1808
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 2: want to talk about.

1809
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 3: A paper tire? Yeah, you would to talk about Come on,

1810
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:31,719
Speaker 3: what they did give me a break.

1811
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 2: Probably Kelly I over rayed. I mean, we'll go how

1812
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 2: many time say it over ed? I mean kidding me.

1813
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:45,799
Speaker 2: You know what's funny? They lost Underwood. They could the quarterback,

1814
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, yeah, and you know he's gonna go

1815
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 2: to Michigan, and so it was funny. I had a

1816
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 2: Michigan guy go, are you kidding me? We have to

1817
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 2: pay this kid all this money? I go, dude, are

1818
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:00,639
Speaker 2: you your mind?

1819
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 3: You should be.

1820
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 2: If you really are a Michigan fan, you should be

1821
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 2: thrilled to pay this kid. First of all, they deserve it.

1822
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 2: They deserve every penny because I'm done with the Oh

1823
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:15,679
Speaker 2: my god, the contracts are out of hand in college

1824
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 2: football and it's a slippery slope and it's only going

1825
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 2: to get worse.

1826
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:19,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

1827
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 2: Look look at the TV contracts. The sport is bubbling over.

1828
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 2: These kids deserve to get paid, and it just makes

1829
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 2: them better for the NFL.

1830
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 3: How great. I love the fact that these kids are

1831
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 3: getting paid.

1832
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 2: Could you imagine starting life Instead of having student loans,

1833
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 2: we're actually having money in the bank. God bless them,

1834
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:50,000
Speaker 2: and he deserves it because the work day for a

1835
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 2: big time college football player is a lot between schoolwork

1836
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:04,760
Speaker 2: and practice and lifting. It's a ton of work that

1837
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:07,799
Speaker 2: you put in that the only people who had benefited

1838
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,800
Speaker 2: in the past were you know, universities and conferences.

1839
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, everything you just said I agree with wholeheartedly.

1840
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 4: And also for all the people to keep saying again

1841
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,559
Speaker 4: that it's going to kill the game. I guess my

1842
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 4: question is how like so far, you know what do

1843
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 4: we have? We had? Juju Lewis was the big transfer

1844
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:34,680
Speaker 4: or the big quarterback recruit this week that changed from

1845
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 4: USC over to Colorado. And look, I was at a

1846
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 4: Rivals event this summer and watched Juju up close, saw

1847
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 4: him throw, and everybody, everybody's in love with the kid.

1848
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 4: All he does is win and boys a talented, talented quarterback.

1849
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:50,680
Speaker 4: So you know, I take nothing away, Like I want

1850
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 4: kids to have the opportunity and if he wants to

1851
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 4: be able to go to the highest bidder and play

1852
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 4: in Colorado, like that's up to him. I just again,

1853
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 4: I will, as I say all the time, we don't

1854
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 4: limit the profitability of any other kid going to college. Like,

1855
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 4: if you happen to design a new technology when you

1856
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 4: go to college, you can get paid for it. If

1857
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 4: you're a great musician. When you go to college, you

1858
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 4: can get paid for it while you're on scholarship. So

1859
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 4: I love all of this, and it's not hurting college

1860
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,439
Speaker 4: football like it's hurting college football fans that want to

1861
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 4: yell about losing a recruit. But frankly, you know, if

1862
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 4: you're LSU and you lose out on a quarterback, then

1863
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 4: you're just gonna go pay another one. Like it's it's

1864
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 4: it's a dog eat dog world. Everybody out there can eat.

1865
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm with you, all right, let's keep going

1866
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:33,759
Speaker 3: around the horns.

1867
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 2: So well, yeah, we both love all miss sem usage

1868
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 2: to me because that's another one. SMU. It has to win, right,

1869
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 2: Like you're at Virginia and they got a lot ride

1870
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:54,799
Speaker 2: on this thing, right, you can get the ACC title

1871
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 2: and croak and croak Miami.

1872
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's the thing is they they've got

1873
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:06,679
Speaker 4: everything on this game, and SMU still controls their own destiny,

1874
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 4: Like they went out and they're gonna go to the

1875
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:14,000
Speaker 4: College Football Playoff like that's for them. There's no trap games,

1876
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:16,160
Speaker 4: no sleeper games, Like they're a better team than Virginia

1877
01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:18,840
Speaker 4: and they should be fine. The committee continually tells you

1878
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 4: that they think that they're they're pretty good. I think

1879
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 4: the committee's actually overvaluing them a little bit. But yeah, SMU,

1880
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 4: I think they actually go in and wipe the floor

1881
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 4: with Virginia and then they just sit back and they

1882
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 4: wait on Miami and this is gonna be a big

1883
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 4: game because man, we've touched on it. Like, I honestly

1884
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:37,680
Speaker 4: think SMU is a more complete football team today than

1885
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 4: Miami is. It's just Miami has a better quarterbacks. So

1886
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:42,800
Speaker 4: you know, do I trust that quarterback to save Miami

1887
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 4: in an ACC championship. I wouldn't be surprised at all

1888
01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 4: if SMU ends up in the College Football Playoffs the

1889
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 4: ACC champion.

1890
01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm completely with it. Let me

1891
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:56,520
Speaker 3: if you uh Kentucky Texas.

1892
01:37:57,160 --> 01:38:00,120
Speaker 2: Kentucky's always plucky, but I just don't think they have

1893
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:01,799
Speaker 2: enough to scare Texas.

1894
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 4: Now, Texas is going to be fine unless Texas is

1895
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 4: looking ahead. But yeah, but all eyes now we're on

1896
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 4: that Texas Texas.

1897
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't.

1898
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 2: I don't see uh, you know, I don't see a sweat.

1899
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:15,559
Speaker 2: I mean, forget a loss. I don't see a sweat.

1900
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:20,439
Speaker 2: Penn State, Minnesota. Minnesota can make that game a little

1901
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 2: bit of a sweat.

1902
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,840
Speaker 4: Boy, Minnesota makes that game a little bit of a sweat,

1903
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:26,960
Speaker 4: then the Penn State yelling is going to just get

1904
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 4: louder and louder and louder, because, man, I do think

1905
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,720
Speaker 4: Indiana has saved Penn State from the eyre that they

1906
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:36,880
Speaker 4: would be getting from a lot of college football fans.

1907
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 4: It's a team that has looked They've looked good, and

1908
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they haven't looked good. Before anybody hits

1909
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:42,760
Speaker 4: me and says I'm a pro State hater, I am

1910
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,040
Speaker 4: not a Penn State hater. I'm just saying that the

1911
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:47,679
Speaker 4: metrics we usually look at when we start talking about

1912
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 4: some of the resume things, and there's got to be

1913
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:54,080
Speaker 4: we just have to rank these teams. I get it,

1914
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 4: But you're talking about a strength of schedule that's been

1915
01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:59,639
Speaker 4: okay so far this year, not great, and the remaining

1916
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 4: strength schedule is not particularly great. So you know, it's

1917
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 4: just I don't know, Penn State hasn't necessarily had that landmark.

1918
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 4: What is there their big Oh my god, well they won,

1919
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 4: I mean they're there. Their biggest resume is a good

1920
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 4: game against Ohio State that they lost. That's their biggest

1921
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:19,519
Speaker 4: resume tick so, and they're gonna make the college Football Playoff,

1922
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:21,880
Speaker 4: not not sitting in the They're not gonna go to

1923
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 4: the Big Ten championship game. They're gonna sit to the

1924
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:26,160
Speaker 4: side and they're not They're not gonna have to worry

1925
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:28,560
Speaker 4: about taking the extra l There basically a lock for

1926
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 4: the college football Playoff. And they've beaten nobody.

1927
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,920
Speaker 3: No I know, I know they've beaten nobody. It's true.

1928
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:38,640
Speaker 2: That's a shame because I like them, like I like

1929
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 2: this team, this Penn State team, I do. I'm a

1930
01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 2: big Allur fan. I think I love him. But he's

1931
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:46,759
Speaker 2: a big arm. They just missed.

1932
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 3: They don't have a receiver, an outside guy.

1933
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 2: If they had, like a couple of years ago, they

1934
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 2: had a couple of them, right Robinson, they had they

1935
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 2: had a couple of guys dots in like, if they

1936
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 2: if they were able to have one big time because

1937
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:08,719
Speaker 2: the tight end is terrific, but if they had one

1938
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 2: big time outside threat with Aler who has got a

1939
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 2: big arm, because their defense is great, I mean in

1940
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 2: their running games terrific. I think that's the difference between

1941
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 2: a true shot at a title and being real and

1942
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 2: just being on the sidelines.

1943
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I I will say this. I think Drew

1944
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,439
Speaker 4: Aller has been better than I expected. I do think

1945
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 4: Penn State gets exposed in the college football playoff game though,

1946
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,759
Speaker 4: when if they're taking on you don't.

1947
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,639
Speaker 3: You don't agree that if they had an outside threat.

1948
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 4: Agree they are utilizing their tight end in a beautiful

1949
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,920
Speaker 4: such their tight end has become so dominant that you know,

1950
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 4: you really have to tip the cap to the way

1951
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 4: that he has looked and it's been a delight, but

1952
01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:58,479
Speaker 4: that you're a thousand percent right, Like if they they

1953
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 4: need to look around the transfer portal also for next

1954
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:02,160
Speaker 4: year and try and figure out how to bring out

1955
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 4: better weapons. If they're going to continue to use this

1956
01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 4: title of offense, they need they need some weapons to construction.

1957
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 3: And they need to they need to play the style

1958
01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 3: of offense. I mean that's just what it is. I

1959
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 3: mean they can still run it like their run game

1960
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 3: is good, but you know, I think you need I

1961
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 3: think you need it. I'm with you. Uh all right,

01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 2: always we can talked about Indiana, Ohio State. We're going

1984
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 2: through the card Ole Miss Florida SMU with the ACC

1985
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 2: title on the line, Texas, Penn State, Minnesota BYU, Arizona State.

1986
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:53,280
Speaker 3: Where you at with BYU.

1987
01:42:54,840 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 4: I mean how much, oh how much changes in one week? Right? Look,

1988
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:04,479
Speaker 4: I think EYU is this year played really solid football

1989
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:07,479
Speaker 4: throughout the course of the year. I don't know right

1990
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,200
Speaker 4: now that I feel confident in BYU over Colorado in

1991
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks, like that's what we anticipate will

1992
01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:14,880
Speaker 4: be the Big twelve championship game. Now, their quarterback has

1993
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 4: played well, BYJU has done a nice job this year.

1994
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:21,560
Speaker 4: The BYU team overall good, not great, and I'm a

1995
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 4: little surprised. I think for a lot of the season

1996
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 4: they've been a little over ranked. Now it feels like

1997
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:27,560
Speaker 4: they're kind of properly ranked. But man, I don't know

1998
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 4: if they're prepared for the explosiveness that they're gonna face

1999
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 4: against Colorado. So, like, the funny thing is I like BYU,

2000
01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 4: but I like Colorado to make the College Football Playoff.

2001
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 2: Well, Colorado, I'm glad you brought it up, because let's

2002
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:46,680
Speaker 2: transition into it. Kansas, right, Kansas, which just upended BYU,

2003
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,599
Speaker 2: now gets another, you know, sling shot.

2004
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 3: They got Colorado coming in.

2005
01:43:56,600 --> 01:44:02,720
Speaker 2: And ye til Lawrence, how dangerous Colorado is only a

2006
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 2: three point favorite.

2007
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:06,679
Speaker 3: I kind of like Kansas in the game.

2008
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 4: I so we both have certain friendships that make it

2009
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 4: hard for certain teams. I'm just the first to scream

2010
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 4: loud and proud that I've been a friend of Lance

2011
01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 4: light Bold to coach at Kansas for a long time

2012
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 4: and this has not been the season Kansas wanted. We

2013
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 4: all know that. Especially losing their offensive coordinator two Penn State,

2014
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:30,439
Speaker 4: I think hurt Kansas a lot in this process. It's

2015
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 4: taken them a second to adjust to it. They are adjusting.

2016
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:36,040
Speaker 4: Kansas is playing better football today than they were two

2017
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 4: months ago. I think that speaks to Lance and the

2018
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:40,560
Speaker 4: coach that he is and the person that he is.

2019
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:43,560
Speaker 4: I man, I don't count Kansas out of anything. And

2020
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 4: if there's anything we've seen over the course of Lance

2021
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 4: light Bolt's tenure at Kansas is that it doesn't really

2022
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:52,559
Speaker 4: matter who the opponent is. They're capable on any given Saturday.

2023
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 4: Like not every team can say that they have for

2024
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:57,760
Speaker 4: years played good teams tough even when they weren't good.

2025
01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:01,639
Speaker 4: So you know, look, I think in Colorado right now

2026
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 4: they should win this football game. But I'm with you,

2027
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 4: I would I'm not putting money on that game. It

2028
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 4: would be hard for me to count Kansas out of anything.

2029
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's tough. Like I know, Colorado has

2030
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 2: to win. I just think that's a tough place to play.

2031
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 2: And I just think they're dangerous. I think they're a

2032
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 2: dangerous squad. I mean that's interesting. It's that's a fascinating

2033
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 2: game to me. There's some good ones and that's again

2034
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 2: part of it. And look tonight, we haven't discussed it yet,

2035
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 2: and it's a great matchup. Yankee Stadium. Is is the

2036
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:43,800
Speaker 2: sight of it, dateline the Bronx and it's Army not

2037
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 2: tree name, and it's going to be interesting, right.

2038
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 3: You know, we saw and I don't know.

2039
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:56,080
Speaker 2: If it's because we saw Notre Dame just completely annihilate

2040
01:45:56,320 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 2: Navy that you go, well, I know Armies bad, but

2041
01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 2: are they good enough to beat Notre Dame.

2042
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I think we're about to watch a bloodbath.

2043
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:12,200
Speaker 4: I honestly do. And this is I was wrong about Navy.

2044
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,880
Speaker 4: I thought Navy could be competitive. Man. I just this

2045
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 4: Notre Dame team has absolutely turned a corner and they

2046
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:22,280
Speaker 4: need this win. They need this win big, just to

2047
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 4: cement everything. Like Notre Dame loses this game, they're out

2048
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:27,240
Speaker 4: of the college football playoffs, so they have no wiggle

2049
01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:30,479
Speaker 4: room left. It gets really interesting to me, man, because

2050
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 4: I think that there's a I think Army gets just

2051
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:35,960
Speaker 4: absolutely beat up in this game, and if that happens,

2052
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden they fall out of the

2053
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:40,599
Speaker 4: top twenty five, and that this all starts to create

2054
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 4: that weird scenario I told you about where like the

2055
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 4: highest the five highest ranked conference champions are going to

2056
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:50,800
Speaker 4: make the College football Playoff. Well, all right, who's that

2057
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:55,160
Speaker 4: gonna be? Because if Colorado State pulls off, if Colorado

2058
01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:58,320
Speaker 4: State wins tonight, they won't be ranked, I don't think,

2059
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 4: and they'll still they'll be playing for the Mountain West.

2060
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 4: If they beat Boise State, there just won't be a

2061
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,720
Speaker 4: top twenty five team left that you know, Army is

2062
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:08,760
Speaker 4: not going to be there from the AAC. So it

2063
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 4: gets ugly, man. I think Notre Dame comes out and

2064
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 4: just absolutely this is a Riley Leonard game. Spot for

2065
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,839
Speaker 4: Ridley Leonard to run the football everywhere, throw the ball efficiently,

2066
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:19,720
Speaker 4: which he's done especially over the last few weeks. Yeah,

2067
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 4: I really like them doing this game big.

2068
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 3: Well, we talked about it.

2069
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,840
Speaker 2: If we've talked about the last couple of weeks about

2070
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 2: how the Irish are a big time dar I think

2071
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,800
Speaker 2: they can make a run. They're playing really well. Their

2072
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 2: defense is really good. I mean, you got studs on

2073
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 2: that side of the ball. They were a dangerous teams,

2074
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:43,520
Speaker 2: especially if you got to play them outdoors.

2075
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, and look, they had some big injuries on

2076
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball, and I thought that

2077
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:52,320
Speaker 4: would slow them down, and it absolutely hasn't. You know,

2078
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 4: that's a big part of it now, the outdoors portion

2079
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 4: of it. I mean, I will say it has been

2080
01:47:57,479 --> 01:48:02,280
Speaker 4: wet and gross and cold and rain and disgusting in Connecticut,

2081
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:04,280
Speaker 4: which is not far from where they're playing in New York.

2082
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 4: So I do wonder field conditions, all of those sorts

2083
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:09,840
Speaker 4: of things they could they could play into this, but

2084
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:11,080
Speaker 4: they're not gonna slow Notre Dame.

2085
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:11,240
Speaker 3: Now.

2086
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 4: I just this Notre Dame team is so much more

2087
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 4: talented than Army is, and that it's unfortunate because certainly

2088
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 4: Army has been a great story, but man, it ain't

2089
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 4: gonna happen here. The Army Navy game is still gonna

2090
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 4: be better than ever, But the Army Navy game is

2091
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:27,479
Speaker 4: not gonna be what we thought it was gonna be.

2092
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 4: A few weeks ago.

2093
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know we all had this.

2094
01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:35,200
Speaker 2: Some delusions of grants are there, you know, thinking, oh

2095
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 2: my god, you know this is gonna be for to

2096
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 2: get into a playoff and the whole thing. Army is

2097
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:45,280
Speaker 2: a great story though again unbeaten. Yeah, right, like they

2098
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 2: have you know, destroyed teams. The quarterback is legitimate. I mean,

2099
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 2: that's the one thing you have to say, is that

2100
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:55,280
Speaker 2: that kid is legitimate.

2101
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:57,040
Speaker 4: You know.

2102
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:01,680
Speaker 2: Again, it's I I'm looking forward to. I kind of said,

2103
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 2: you're right, you know, I would love to see a

2104
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:08,600
Speaker 2: good game though, like a sweat.

2105
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:13,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that would be Unfortunately, I think there's

2106
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 4: a really good chance today we have one high profile game.

2107
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 4: I don't even know that by the end of it

2108
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:20,840
Speaker 4: to be a good game. Today feels like a bunch

2109
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 4: of blowouts. But here's the thing, brother, how many times

2110
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 4: this year of that. But it's probably the third time

2111
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:27,200
Speaker 4: this year I've said, Man, feels like the games, say

2112
01:49:27,200 --> 01:49:29,599
Speaker 4: are going to be kind of lackluster, And so far

2113
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 4: those weekends have turned out to be some of the

2114
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 4: wildest and craziest we've seen. So you know, I'm not

2115
01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:36,760
Speaker 4: taking anything away from him, but we'll see.

2116
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:40,599
Speaker 2: Well, and then you got Alabama Oklahoma, and that's got

2117
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 2: bloodbath written all over it. I mean, it's already why

2118
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 2: this is their super Bowl? Is there any way Oklahoma

2119
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:46,599
Speaker 2: scares them?

2120
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 4: If if Oklahoma doesn't come out with the thunder of

2121
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:55,519
Speaker 4: the Gods, then you really have to question Brent Ventable's future.

2122
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 4: And look, I mean you're talking about somebody that, for

2123
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:01,600
Speaker 4: you didn't want to be a head coach because he

2124
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:03,800
Speaker 4: loved what he had at Clemson as the defensive coordinator.

2125
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 4: And then he gets to a place that he loves

2126
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 4: in Oklahoma, and everybody thinks it's gonna work. And the

2127
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 4: Oklahoma schedule was brutal this year. We all know that.

2128
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 4: But man, it's hard to watch Oklahoma struggle at the

2129
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:19,200
Speaker 4: quarterback position and remember that they as a program decided

2130
01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 4: they were good letting Dylan Gabriel walk away like that.

2131
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:25,280
Speaker 4: They chose not to keep Dylan Gabriel, who looks like

2132
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 4: he's going to he's gonna at least get a Heisman invite,

2133
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 4: and he's a quarterback of the number one team in

2134
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,599
Speaker 4: the country. While Oklahoma has lost games this year because

2135
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 4: they simply don't have any idea what they're doing at

2136
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:35,160
Speaker 4: the quarterback position.

2137
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 6: I know.

2138
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 2: And that's I mean again, if you're gonna if you're

2139
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:45,120
Speaker 2: going to beat Alabama or at least make them sweat,

2140
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:46,679
Speaker 2: you've got to score.

2141
01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:49,760
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how they do it.

2142
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And frankly, you've got to score, and you've got

2143
01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:56,800
Speaker 4: to be able to at some level slow down Jaylor

2144
01:50:56,840 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 4: Milroe's legs. Like last week was not a revelation in

2145
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 4: the sense of, oh wow, Jaylen Milroe ran well and

2146
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 4: through well. Last week was a revelation that there was

2147
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:06,680
Speaker 4: no answer for that.

2148
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 6: Right.

2149
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:09,759
Speaker 4: So now, now, if you're Brent Venables in your calling

2150
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:11,640
Speaker 4: card is what you do on the defensive side of

2151
01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 4: the ball, you better not get thrashed. You better at

2152
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 4: least have a good game plan. And you don't.

2153
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:20,040
Speaker 2: I could see them playing decent, like defensively not getting

2154
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 2: you know, annihilated.

2155
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:25,679
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just don't think ultimately that they could

2156
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 3: score on this team. Yeah.

2157
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 4: I don't either. I think you're a thousand percent right,

2158
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 4: and that's man that's gonna get uh clee early.

2159
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:37,640
Speaker 2: Uh And And I kind of think you're I think

2160
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 2: you're spot on about you know, the card today. I

2161
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 2: think you nail it, Like, you know, we have the

2162
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:46,640
Speaker 2: big new kickoff and then and then it kind of

2163
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 2: gets uh, it looks like a bunch of favorites, and

2164
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 2: it looks like it's it's just kind of how it's

2165
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:56,760
Speaker 2: gonna play. It's gonna be chalky the other game. Again,

2166
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 2: I keep going back to it. If I'm going to

2167
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 2: pick an upset, I gotta go Kansas.

2168
01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I would love that, But boy, that would

2169
01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:07,600
Speaker 4: be just I mean, that would be the sort of

2170
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:11,000
Speaker 4: upset that rocks everything, truly. That would be the sort

2171
01:52:11,320 --> 01:52:15,479
Speaker 4: Kansas going in and beating Colorado today would absolutely change

2172
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:21,600
Speaker 4: the entire dynamic of the college football Playoff because you know,

2173
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:24,600
Speaker 4: at that point then you would have you know, Colorado

2174
01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:28,720
Speaker 4: at that point wouldn't go to the big total championship game.

2175
01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 4: It would be Arizona State, Right. I think Arizona State

2176
01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 4: would go, so yeah, yeah byu Arizona State. Man, that's

2177
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:38,719
Speaker 4: just such a wild difference. And you know, I don't

2178
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 4: know that that would that would absolutely rock what the

2179
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 4: playoff committee thinks. That would rock what we all think.

2180
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 4: It would be an interesting change in tone on Colorado.

2181
01:52:48,080 --> 01:52:50,680
Speaker 4: Look for anyone that's got Colorado fatigue, the one thing

2182
01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 4: I ever met would remind you is last year that

2183
01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:55,719
Speaker 4: was deserved. They weren't worth the amount of talk they're getting.

2184
01:52:56,000 --> 01:53:00,880
Speaker 4: They are genuinely a good football team, so are you know.

2185
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 4: We'll see.

2186
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:06,160
Speaker 2: But I mean it's not exactly a monster upset in

2187
01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:09,280
Speaker 2: the sense that they're only a three point favorite.

2188
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:12,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're right, You're right, all.

2189
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 2: Right, fella's gotta take quick t We'll come right back.

2190
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 2: I gotta, I got you need to expound on. We'll

2191
01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:21,679
Speaker 2: take a little break and then we'll go to the NFL.

2192
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:26,439
Speaker 2: But you need to expand on your Thanksgiving hate, my

Speaker 3: But you said something part of it I.

2200
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:57,479
Speaker 2: Agree with, to be honest with you, But you said

2201
01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:02,519
Speaker 2: something where you went on on a Thanksgiving slash like

2202
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:09,040
Speaker 2: do you want to talk about ThanksKilling you cross Thanksgiving?

2203
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody could actually hate on Thanksgiving.

2204
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:18,360
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, if we're being honest, especially for people

2205
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:22,000
Speaker 4: that are like, look, if you love your family, that's amazing,

2206

Speaker 4: than family. Have a great day with your family. There

2208
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 4: are a lot of people that are coming into the

2209
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:30,439
Speaker 4: day and they're like, oh God, I gotta go see that.

2210
01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:32,960
Speaker 4: I gotta do it, you know. And the Thanksgiving thing

2211
01:54:33,040 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 4: of like you've always got that cousin or uncle that's

2212
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:36,760
Speaker 4: going to say something at the table they shouldn't. That's

2213
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:39,720
Speaker 4: gonna get everybody fired up, especially in the current political climate.

2214
01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:42,520
Speaker 4: You know, it's just always everybody's on edge. The family

2215
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:46,600
Speaker 4: part of it a little overrated. The food wildly overrated.

2216
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:50,840
Speaker 4: Like turkey is just not good. It just isn't. It's

2217
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:54,240
Speaker 4: fine if you really want to eat it. But we

2218
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:57,280
Speaker 4: all know turkey is really not good. Mash potatoes are

2219
01:54:57,480 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 4: are okay, Like mashed potatoes are one of those things.

2220
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 4: And you can also eat mashed potatoes year around. Like

2221
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:03,640
Speaker 4: if you really love mashed potatoes that much.

2222
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not it. I agree with you.

2223
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I like a man who doesn't like a

2224
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 2: mashed potato. But you know, you're right, that's a that's

2225
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:11,920
Speaker 2: in every all year round item.

2226
01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can eat mac and cheese all year if

2227
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 4: you really want to. And then most of the rest

2228
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 4: of the food is either a cast rolls, and cast

2229
01:55:19,120 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 4: roll is just my way of saying I can't cook,

2230
01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:23,040
Speaker 4: so I'm gonna mash a bunch of things together in

2231
01:55:23,080 --> 01:55:25,160
Speaker 4: a powl and bake it and you won't notice. Like

2232
01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:28,960
Speaker 4: cast roles in general are just nah, I'm out and

2233
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 4: they're fine. They're fine. There, it's just not it's not good.

2234
01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:35,320
Speaker 4: And then uh, pious trash. And every time I say

2235
01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:38,240
Speaker 4: pie is trash, inevitably I get this. I get this

2236
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:40,120
Speaker 4: argument where people come back to we were just having

2237
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:42,520
Speaker 4: a hook good pie. Okay, let me just quickly say

2238
01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 4: to that first and foremost humble brag, I've been in

2239
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 4: Michelin star restaurants across the world and had pie. In fact,

2240
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:50,640
Speaker 4: one year for Thanksgiving, I was on the road in

2241
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 4: London and I went to Gordon Ramsey's in London and

2242
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:58,440
Speaker 4: had his special American Thanksgiving Feast and it was just awful,

2243
01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:01,040
Speaker 4: Like it's just not I mean so so like, look,

2244
01:56:01,120 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 4: I've been to fancy places, I've had fancy pie, still trash.

2245
01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:06,080
Speaker 4: And then I spent years of my life on tour

2246
01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 4: in country music where all you do is play county

2247
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:11,120
Speaker 4: and state fairs and festivals, and it's always like some

2248
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:14,000
Speaker 4: mix of a pie contest or a best pie. This

2249
01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:16,920
Speaker 4: the best by that, and then every catering company brings

2250
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 4: a pie and then inevitably me, Mom's backstage. This is

2251
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:22,320
Speaker 4: my grandma's pie recipe. It's from to the family for

2252
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,120
Speaker 4: one hundred Year's still trash. It's all trash. Pie crusty

2253
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,160
Speaker 4: pie crust is bad, all right, there's no there's never

2254
01:56:28,240 --> 01:56:29,840
Speaker 4: a time I want to eat pie crust. And it

2255
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that I haven't had good pie crust. I've

2256
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:34,880
Speaker 4: had award winning great pie crust according to people that know,

2257
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:37,960
Speaker 4: and it still tastes like garbage. I'll eat it if

2258
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 4: it's on a gram cracker crust, because that's a delight.

2259
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 4: But any actual pie that comes with like pie crust

2260
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:44,920
Speaker 4: on the top of the pie and all like this

2261
01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:47,240
Speaker 4: is just awful. It's awful. It's awful.

2262
01:56:47,400 --> 01:56:50,600
Speaker 2: I have to admit, I have to tell you, I

2263
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:56,120
Speaker 2: really I agree with you on just about everything you said.

2264
01:56:57,240 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't like Thanksgiving food, I don't like cranberry. I'm

2265
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:05,160
Speaker 2: not a turkey sucks try. I mean, people go, oh,

01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 2: sure you know it's not horrible, but it's not like,

01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 2: oh my god, like my father loves it.

2269
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 4: It loves it.

2273
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:29,920
Speaker 2: like real potatoes are great.

2274
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 3: Sweet potatoes. I just don't get it.

2275
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 4: Look, I eat a sweet potato. I don't need it

2276
01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:36,880

Speaker 4: I just anything I can do, cake can do better.

2280
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 4: Anything pie can do, cake can do better.

2281
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 3: We all know that and agreed.

2282
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:53,000
Speaker 4: And then also like for anyone that doesn't know, I'm

2283
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:55,919
Speaker 4: not coming at this from like a I don't appreciate

2284
01:57:56,000 --> 01:57:57,440
Speaker 4: desserts like I if you.

2285
01:57:57,560 --> 01:58:00,760
Speaker 3: Know you're a dessert mansert.

2286
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 4: Man, I'm I've been known to eat an entire cheesecake

2287
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:04,240
Speaker 4: in a sitting like that. I'm not ashamed of that.

2288
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:07,000
Speaker 4: I am a fat person at my core, and my

2289
01:58:07,120 --> 01:58:08,760
Speaker 4: trainer even came in and said, hey, we don't have

2290
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:10,680
Speaker 4: to change your diet for Thanksgiving. We can wait a

2291
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 4: week so you can eat whatever you want on Thanksgiving.

2292
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:15,360
Speaker 4: And my response to that was, mah, I'm probably just

2293
01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:19,400
Speaker 4: gonna have a tissery chicken anyway. It's just Thanksgiving foods

2294
01:58:19,400 --> 01:58:21,680
Speaker 4: all is. None of it's worth it, None of it's

2295
01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:24,200
Speaker 4: worth And then I got to run it back for Christmas. God,

2296
01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 4: don't make me eat the same meal twice. God, it's

2297
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:28,320
Speaker 4: all garbage. Well we do it.

2298
01:58:28,560 --> 01:58:29,560
Speaker 3: I do a little different.

2299
01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 4: I know, I know you do it the right way.

2300
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 2: You know, we do a local especially Christmas Eve, I

2301
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 2: do a big Now I do add that. We do

2302
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:40,400
Speaker 2: add depasta. Course I have to my house and Thanksgiving,

2303
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 2: so usually it's lasagna or stuff shells, monagotti or something

2304
01:58:47,640 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 2: like that, so we add to it.

2305
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:51,680
Speaker 4: But Mannicotta, you mean you mean panicotti.

2306
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:56,360
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, thanks for correcting me for the Fellas.

2307
01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:01,440
Speaker 1: Door listening Fox Sports Radio.

2308
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:05,120
Speaker 3: Well, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.

2309
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 2: Happy happy Fox Football Saturday, and a happy Thanksgiving because

2310
01:59:12,520 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 2: we won't talk to you until next week, till afterwards.

2311
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:19,120
Speaker 2: So even though we were hating all the food, we

2312
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:23,040
Speaker 2: want to pitch you guys a blessed and happy Thanksgiving too.

2313
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:26,000
Speaker 4: Dude, I got gotta say. I got somebody on Twitter

2314
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 4: that came in it's like, it's about giving thanks. It's

2315
01:59:28,160 --> 01:59:30,560
Speaker 4: in the name, right, like, and then called me a yankee,

2316
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 4: which I always think is funny because like, look, I

2317
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 4: lived in Nashville for over twenty five years of my life,

2318
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:37,520
Speaker 4: and I lived south of the Mason Dixon line for

2319
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:40,840
Speaker 4: three quarters of my life at this point. So whatever,

2320
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:44,200
Speaker 4: but hey, you want to call me a yankee, that's fine. Also,

2321
01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:47,680
Speaker 4: I don't frankly need a day it's called Thanksgiving to

2322
01:59:47,720 --> 01:59:50,360
Speaker 4: give thanks. I'm an incredibly thankful person for the life

2323
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:52,040
Speaker 4: that I have every single day and for the friends

2324
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 4: that I have and for the family that I have, Like,

2325
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 4: I'm thankful for that every day. So you know, I

2326
01:59:56,320 --> 01:59:58,240
Speaker 4: don't I don't need to. I don't need a day

2327
01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:01,280
Speaker 4: to Like to me, you said, well, so it's about thanks. Okay,

2328
02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:04,320
Speaker 4: Well all right, fatty, don't wait tell New Year's resolutions

2329
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:06,920
Speaker 4: to start your new year, and you don't have to wait,

2331
02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 4: need somebody to tell me when I can be thankful.

2332
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 4: I'm thankful every damn day. There we go. I just

2333
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:17,040
Speaker 4: had to get that off my chest. Oh, it's all Thanksgiving. Gee,

2334
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:21,360
Speaker 4: I appreciate that so much, dumb ass.

2335
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:31,120
Speaker 3: All right, thanks, I get that, fellas. Yeah, yeah, we do.

2336
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 3: We do something fun, I was saying earlier. But I

2337
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 3: love it. So every morning Thanksgiving morning.

2338
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:42,720
Speaker 2: I've had my same friend since we were young, right,

2339
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 2: my cousin, and it's all of our friend group that

2340
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:48,640
Speaker 2: we've known each other since our whole lives, since we

2341
02:00:48,720 --> 02:00:52,760
Speaker 2: were little boys. And we play football. We've been doing

2342
02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:55,560
Speaker 2: it forever and we shall we do our own turkey ball.

2343
02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:58,160
Speaker 2: And then obviously we get older, we have who's got

2344
02:00:58,280 --> 02:01:01,920
Speaker 2: kids and the whole thing, and so now the kids

2345
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,120
Speaker 2: come and they've been doing it, so it's it's just

2346
02:01:05,240 --> 02:01:08,760
Speaker 2: a blest. And then there's like a corner bar Stokes.

2347
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 2: So we go over to Stokes and we watched the

2348
02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:14,760
Speaker 2: first half of the Lions game. It's weird how it

2349
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:17,440
Speaker 2: all happens. But like one of my buddies, Joe Ben,

2350
02:01:18,280 --> 02:01:22,480
Speaker 2: he goes and gets McDonald's for the kids and they drink,

2351
02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:25,760
Speaker 2: you know, Coca cola and eat the McDonald's. We have

2352
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:28,400
Speaker 2: a couple of beers, watch the first game of the

2353
02:01:29,040 --> 02:01:32,120
Speaker 2: watch the Lions, and we've been doing it for god,

2354
02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:36,840
Speaker 2: I can't tell you how long, over twenty years. So yeah,

2355
02:01:36,880 --> 02:01:38,840
Speaker 2: and then we had and then everybody goes their separate

2356
02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:40,960
Speaker 2: ways and you know, you have a nice, nice day

2357
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:41,760
Speaker 2: with the family.

2358
02:01:41,560 --> 02:01:43,640
Speaker 3: That sort of thing. But we love it, like we

2359
02:01:43,800 --> 02:01:44,800
Speaker 3: actually play the game.

2360
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 2: And the kids now are taking over right, Like you know,

2361
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,480
Speaker 2: I got two boys down were monsters. So they're like

2362
02:01:51,640 --> 02:01:53,360
Speaker 2: they love it because they get to beat up on

2363
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,720
Speaker 2: all their uncles. So it's a it's a it's fun

2364
02:01:56,840 --> 02:01:59,560
Speaker 2: like that that piece of Yeah, it's a good time.

2365
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:03,040
Speaker 4: Well anyway, Thanksgiving, I know, we got to get to football.

2366
02:02:03,520 --> 02:02:07,160
Speaker 4: I think Thanksgiving also is a really beautiful thing if

2367
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 4: you have a big extended family, you know, Yeah, and

2368
02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:13,160
Speaker 4: that that's such a cool like if you have cousins

2369
02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:15,000
Speaker 4: and aunts and uncles that you never get to see

2370
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:18,160
Speaker 4: and there's proximity that allows everybody to be together, that's

2371
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,560
Speaker 4: a really amazing thing. That's not something that I really

2372
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:22,840
Speaker 4: grew up with as an experience, so I think because

2373
02:02:22,880 --> 02:02:25,960
Speaker 4: that wasn't really around me, I've always been envious of

2374
02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:27,000
Speaker 4: that possibility.

2375
02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 3: I could see that, Yeah, I could totally.

2376
02:02:29,280 --> 02:02:32,160
Speaker 2: I could totally say I could totally see that because

2377
02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:34,880
Speaker 2: it is like, you know, we always raised with you know,

2378
02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:39,080
Speaker 2: my cousins and like so it was always we loved it.

2379
02:02:39,240 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 3: Like you know, the family people play ball, you know everything.

2380
02:02:43,240 --> 02:02:47,160
Speaker 2: All of our holidays were always geared around the sports.

2381
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:50,760
Speaker 3: So like it just was always that way.

2382
02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:55,960
Speaker 2: You know, football Thanksgiving, like we all everybody watched the

2383
02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:58,600
Speaker 2: game and it hated on the Cowboys, right, like that

2384
02:02:58,840 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 2: was like that was true.

2385
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:01,120
Speaker 3: I was a little kid.

2386
02:03:01,680 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 2: It was like, I hate the root against the Cowboys,

2387
02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:07,080
Speaker 2: hate the Cowboys, and it was fun, you know that

2388
02:03:07,280 --> 02:03:10,720
Speaker 2: sort of thing. All right, so we cut you a

2389
02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:13,080
Speaker 2: lot from the ty rack dot com studios. Tire rack

2390
02:03:13,160 --> 02:03:17,240
Speaker 2: dot com will help you get there an unmatched election fans,

2391
02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:21,240
Speaker 2: free shipping, free roadhazard protection, tire buying the way it

2392
02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 2: should be.

2393
02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:25,880
Speaker 3: Tire rack dot com. All right, some of the big.

2394
02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:31,160
Speaker 2: News obviously Daniel Jones getting released. We knew the running

2395
02:03:31,280 --> 02:03:33,680
Speaker 2: was on the wall. The Giants did not want to.

2396
02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:37,560
Speaker 2: The Giants tried to get Daniel Jones to get rid

2397
02:03:37,560 --> 02:03:40,360
Speaker 2: of the clause in his contract that because if you

2398
02:03:40,440 --> 02:03:41,480
Speaker 2: got hurt today would be.

2399
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,400
Speaker 3: On the hook for him for next year. And he

2400
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:45,080
Speaker 3: didn't do that.

2401
02:03:45,240 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 2: He didn't want to, and so they don't want to

2402
02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:52,960
Speaker 2: risk that and they've decided to move on and they

2403
02:03:53,120 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 2: released him finally.

2404
02:03:56,160 --> 02:03:59,160
Speaker 4: I look, this had to happen, but it's a business decision.

2405
02:03:59,560 --> 02:04:01,480
Speaker 4: I think we have to acknowledge here that both sides

2406
02:04:01,560 --> 02:04:04,480
Speaker 4: understood the business of it. Daniel Jones team wanted the

2407
02:04:05,040 --> 02:04:08,520
Speaker 4: injury guarantee put in because that protects its exact situation,

2408
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:11,200
Speaker 4: and the Giants were comfortable doing it because they knew

2409
02:04:11,240 --> 02:04:14,280
Speaker 4: that this was a possible, inevitable end. So, you know,

2410
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 4: I don't think that there's anything colder callous about any

2411
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 4: of this. I think, you know, we saw this all

2412
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:20,560
Speaker 4: the way back to Steve McNair with the Titans a

2413
02:04:20,640 --> 02:04:22,720
Speaker 4: long time ago, had injury guarantees and they wouldn't even

2414
02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:24,880
Speaker 4: let him in the gym. So, you know, once it

2415
02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:26,640
Speaker 4: became clear that this was happening, we saw it a

2416
02:04:26,680 --> 02:04:28,600
Speaker 4: couple of years ago with Derek Carr and the Raiders too,

2417
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:32,280
Speaker 4: like this is just the inevitability. And now they move on.

2418
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:35,680
Speaker 4: And the funny thing is the hardest part for the

2419
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:38,920
Speaker 4: Giants is that the two things that they're trying to

2420
02:04:38,960 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 4: do right now don't align because, according to some reports,

2421
02:04:41,680 --> 02:04:43,440
Speaker 4: Da b All is coaching for his job throughout the

2422
02:04:43,520 --> 02:04:45,680
Speaker 4: course of the rest of the season. But they just

2423
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:49,400
Speaker 4: benched Daniel Jones, and it's really advantageous for them not

2424
02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:51,960
Speaker 4: to win any more football games, so they don't have

2425
02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:55,040
Speaker 4: a quarterback on the roster. So you know, it's interesting

2426
02:04:55,120 --> 02:04:57,200
Speaker 4: that if the goal is for Dable to coach for

2427
02:04:57,320 --> 02:04:59,040
Speaker 4: his job, but to do it in a way where

2428
02:04:59,040 --> 02:05:00,960
Speaker 4: they still lose games, I don't know how those two

2429
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 4: worlds collide. I don't know how that aligns at any point.

2430
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:06,880
Speaker 4: So that's the part that's confusing for me moving down

2431
02:05:06,920 --> 02:05:07,320
Speaker 4: the stretch.

2432
02:05:08,520 --> 02:05:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm with you, like I like Dabel,

2433
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:16,720
Speaker 2: I love Dabel Buffalo. I think Dable's a sharp guy.

2434
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:20,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they screwed the danger. I don't know what

2435
02:05:20,320 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 2: took them so long. I mean, God bless him. And

2436
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 2: I thought Daniel Jones handled it really well. I know

2437
02:05:25,960 --> 02:05:29,960
Speaker 2: there's some talk about a statement he took questions like

2438
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:34,520
Speaker 2: he was he thanked the fans. I thought he handled

2439
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:36,880
Speaker 2: it like a chant, to be honest with you, now,

2440
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:39,320
Speaker 2: whether or not he was deserved of it, Like, I

2441
02:05:39,480 --> 02:05:43,120
Speaker 2: just never thought he was a good quarterback, starting quarterback

2442
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 2: in this league. And they doubled and the wind up

2443
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:48,520
Speaker 2: triple and down on them and kind of and that

2444
02:05:48,760 --> 02:05:51,720
Speaker 2: really screwed up. I think it screwed up Dabele gave

2445
02:05:51,800 --> 02:05:52,600
Speaker 2: him no chance.

2446
02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:57,600
Speaker 4: Well, and now what So if you're the Giants, that's

2447
02:05:57,600 --> 02:06:00,280
Speaker 4: the only the unfortunate part of it, because I agree

2448
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:01,840
Speaker 4: with you that all of this and back and forth

2449
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:04,440
Speaker 4: has created such a weird situation. But now the Giants

2450
02:06:04,440 --> 02:06:05,760
Speaker 4: are gonna have to figure out if Table is the

2451
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:07,360
Speaker 4: right guy. They're gonna have to figure out if they

2452
02:06:07,400 --> 02:06:09,520
Speaker 4: need a new GM. They're gonna have to figure out

2453
02:06:09,520 --> 02:06:11,760
Speaker 4: if they love one of the quarterbacks in this year's draft,

2454
02:06:11,800 --> 02:06:13,720
Speaker 4: and if they do, can they get in proximity to

2455
02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:15,760
Speaker 4: get one of those quarterbacks, which I think is gonna

2456
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:19,720
Speaker 4: be wildly difficult. I keep saying this, I'll keep yelling this.

2457
02:06:19,840 --> 02:06:22,200
Speaker 4: I believe that the top two quarterbacks will go in

2458
02:06:22,280 --> 02:06:24,320
Speaker 4: this year's draft, and the top three picks. And that

2459
02:06:24,400 --> 02:06:26,760
Speaker 4: doesn't mean they should, just means they will because they're

2460
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:29,160
Speaker 4: gonna have enough teams that are desperate. So if you're

2461
02:06:29,320 --> 02:06:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, if you're the Giants, is stable the guy

2462
02:06:31,200 --> 02:06:34,800
Speaker 4: you want to develop that new quarterback or not. Like

2463
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:37,320
Speaker 4: as an organization, they now they're just sort of a

2464
02:06:37,400 --> 02:06:41,360
Speaker 4: sinking ship with no direction at any key position. So

2465
02:06:41,840 --> 02:06:42,920
Speaker 4: how do you fix it?

2466
02:06:43,680 --> 02:06:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I gotta tell you. I mean, look, Joe

2467
02:06:47,600 --> 02:06:50,120
Speaker 2: Shane has done a decent job with a couple. You know,

2468
02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:54,360
Speaker 2: defense is better, right, He's got a couple of players,

2469
02:06:54,960 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 2: But I mean the Saquan thing he screwed. That upset

2470
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:02,880
Speaker 2: aways for some day. Man, There's no getting around it.

2471
02:07:03,440 --> 02:07:07,400
Speaker 2: And as much as you go, yeah, Daniel Jones is

2472
02:07:07,480 --> 02:07:11,960
Speaker 2: not good. I mean, if you got neighbors and Saquon,

2473
02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:15,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying that they're

2474
02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:17,920
Speaker 2: a playoff team, but I don't think they're trash.

2475
02:07:18,880 --> 02:07:23,240
Speaker 4: No, they're certainly they're not trash. They're good enough to

2476
02:07:23,320 --> 02:07:25,240
Speaker 4: not get their quarterback. But this is just a bad

2477
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,280
Speaker 4: year to need that. Like, I don't think that short term.

2478
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:31,320
Speaker 4: Long term, sometimes organizations have to have such a good

2479
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 4: idea of where they're going and what they're trying to accomplish.

2480
02:07:34,440 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 4: And this thing was never not going to go off

2481
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:39,600
Speaker 4: the rails. The hardest part, We've talked about this before.

2482
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 4: For an organization, I think the hardest thing to do

2483
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:44,560
Speaker 4: is look in the mirror and see exactly who they are,

2484
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:47,600
Speaker 4: you know. And so if you look in the mirror

2485
02:07:47,640 --> 02:07:50,720
Speaker 4: and you see who you are in a very real way,

2486
02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:52,880
Speaker 4: then you can make a business plan how to move forward.

2487
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:54,960
Speaker 4: I don't think the Giants ever really saw who they were.

2488
02:07:56,040 --> 02:07:57,760
Speaker 4: It's like, in some ways they thought they were better

2489
02:07:57,800 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 4: than they were, and in some ways they thought they

2490
02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:02,480
Speaker 4: could sustain without the players that they need. And now

2491
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:05,160
Speaker 4: you know, is Daniel Jones wreck does he ruined?

2492
02:08:05,240 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 7: Is he terrible?

2493
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 4: Or is everything about the Giants just terrible? And is

2494
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:11,120
Speaker 4: that part of wrecking him? So I do think it's

2495
02:08:11,160 --> 02:08:13,640
Speaker 4: interesting too, Like Daniel Jones, in my mind, is going

2496
02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:15,920
Speaker 4: to start somewhere next year. There were just starting enough

2497
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:18,520
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the league. Somebody's gonna give Daniel Wow.

2498
02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:22,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think start, I think backup man.

2499
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:25,000
Speaker 4: I just here's I've made this joke on Twitter, but

2500
02:08:25,120 --> 02:08:26,880
Speaker 4: this is being real for a second. Uh huh. The

2501
02:08:27,040 --> 02:08:29,920
Speaker 4: Giants are getting rid of Daniel Jones because it helps

2502
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:33,040
Speaker 4: him lose football games right now. The Raiders are playing

2503
02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:36,120
Speaker 4: Gardner Minshew because it helps him lose football games right now.

2504
02:08:36,440 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 4: That's how bad the quarterback situation is in Vegas. Daniel

2505
02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:42,080
Speaker 4: Jones would be an upgrade today in Vegas. As bad

2506
02:08:42,160 --> 02:08:45,720
Speaker 4: as he is. He could walk in today and start tomorrow,

2507
02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:47,960
Speaker 4: and it would be an upgrade at the quarterback position.

2508
02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:51,360
Speaker 3: I mean that's like going from RSV to whooping golf.

2509
02:08:52,040 --> 02:08:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, I love that. That is an amazing analogy.

2510
02:08:57,960 --> 02:09:01,640
Speaker 4: That is amazing. But I mean, frankly, like we're gonna

2511
02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 4: look around and what if the Titans can't get a quarterback?

2512
02:09:04,320 --> 02:09:07,000
Speaker 4: I mean you really think Will Levis has shown anything

2513
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:08,960
Speaker 4: to be any better? Like I wouldn't.

2514
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:10,760
Speaker 3: But but the last thing I want to do is

2515
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:11,840
Speaker 3: go after Daniel Jones.

2516
02:09:11,880 --> 02:09:14,520
Speaker 2: To me, Daniel Jones makes sense as a backup, right,

2517
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:18,280
Speaker 2: like you know, I mean look with look Jamis man,

2518
02:09:18,440 --> 02:09:19,000
Speaker 2: Jamis is.

2519
02:09:20,600 --> 02:09:21,880
Speaker 3: Jameis well.

2520
02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:23,880
Speaker 2: First of all, Jamis is better than any of those

2521
02:09:24,080 --> 02:09:28,960
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones or mid Shoe or or Levis. But like

2522
02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:33,560
Speaker 2: it's important to have a decent quality backup. I mean,

2523
02:09:34,520 --> 02:09:37,400
Speaker 2: look at Dallas, like if you if Daniel Jones is

2524
02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:41,840
Speaker 2: upgrade to what they have now, I mean, you know,

2525
02:09:42,160 --> 02:09:43,600
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I don't know if Trey

2526
02:09:43,720 --> 02:09:48,280
Speaker 2: Lance can play a little bit, but whatever, I mean, look,

2527
02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:50,760
Speaker 2: you good teams are gonna want to need a backup,

2528
02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:52,840
Speaker 2: and I think he'll I mean I think he'll that's

2529
02:09:53,160 --> 02:09:56,360
Speaker 2: his role, will be a backup he'll come in now.

2530
02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, because someday he'd be Sam Donald.

2531
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:02,640
Speaker 3: Maybe. I don't know. I mean, if he's in the

2532
02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 3: right spot. But I just i'd never been a fan.

2533
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:10,360
Speaker 4: Well, neither of I from the day was drafted. He

2534
02:10:10,480 --> 02:10:13,520
Speaker 4: was overdrafted, and I think that was pretty clear. I

2535
02:10:13,840 --> 02:10:16,080
Speaker 4: just think that there's going to be enough of a

2536
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:21,720
Speaker 4: problem this year. I mean, let's say Aaron Rodgers isn't

2537
02:10:21,760 --> 02:10:24,320
Speaker 4: back with the Jets. That's an easy example of the

2538
02:10:24,440 --> 02:10:28,360
Speaker 4: Raiders need a quarterback. The Browns probably need something they

2539
02:10:28,440 --> 02:10:30,360
Speaker 4: need up somehow, some way. They need to draft one

2540
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:33,760
Speaker 4: if they can because the salary cap constraints. The Giants

2541
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:35,920
Speaker 4: are gonna need a quarterback, obviously. The Titans are going

2542
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:39,200
Speaker 4: to be in the quarterback market without even thinking that's five.

2543
02:10:39,320 --> 02:10:41,440
Speaker 4: The Rams may be in a quarterback market, depending on

2544
02:10:41,560 --> 02:10:45,320
Speaker 4: what happens there with retirement, you know, so Sam Darnold

2545
02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:47,680
Speaker 4: goes to one of those spots. But man, it's pretty

2546
02:10:47,720 --> 02:10:49,680
Speaker 4: easy to get to six or seven teams that are

2547
02:10:49,680 --> 02:10:52,440
Speaker 4: gonna need a quarterback. The Saints might need a quarterback.

2548
02:10:52,600 --> 02:10:54,120
Speaker 4: I don't know what they're gonna do with Derek Carr

2549
02:10:54,200 --> 02:10:57,560
Speaker 4: moving forward, big, big salary cap number for him obviously,

2550
02:10:57,720 --> 02:10:59,840
Speaker 4: So I mean it's just pretty easy to get to

2551
02:10:59,880 --> 02:11:02,760
Speaker 4: a big number. And this year's draft glass stinks. So

2552
02:11:02,840 --> 02:11:04,840
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I don't think Daniel Jones should be

2553
02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:07,040
Speaker 4: a starter. I think he will be a starter because

2554
02:11:07,040 --> 02:11:10,680
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna overdraft a quarterback and then they're gonna have

2555
02:11:10,720 --> 02:11:13,080
Speaker 4: to figure out can he even play? And while he's

2556
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:15,200
Speaker 4: trying to figure out the ropes, Daniel Jones comes in

2557
02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:17,960
Speaker 4: for a year and sort of bridges the gap. He

2558
02:11:18,080 --> 02:11:20,600
Speaker 4: is that guy now and tries to get an opportunity.

2559
02:11:20,680 --> 02:11:23,040
Speaker 4: I don't think he's a very good quarterback. I just

2560
02:11:23,080 --> 02:11:26,160
Speaker 4: think that you know, there just aren't right now. I'm

2561
02:11:26,200 --> 02:11:28,680
Speaker 4: not even sure there's twenty eight starting quarterbacks in the NFL.

2562
02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:29,840
Speaker 4: Nonetheless thirty two.

2563
02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:33,160
Speaker 2: Well, I mean if you look at it, right, I mean,

2564
02:11:34,320 --> 02:11:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, let's go throw it like, is there an upgrade.

2565
02:11:36,560 --> 02:11:40,240
Speaker 3: It's a little exercise. So you got Baker and Tampa.

2566
02:11:40,280 --> 02:11:43,360
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at the games, mahomes, Bryce Young, Look

2567
02:11:43,360 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 2: where's he going to be next year?

2568
02:11:45,440 --> 02:11:48,120
Speaker 4: Bryce youngks goes. I think I think Carolina gives Pryce

2569
02:11:48,160 --> 02:11:51,200
Speaker 4: another year only because next year's quarterback draft class is

2570
02:11:51,240 --> 02:11:53,360
Speaker 4: much better, So they might as well give him another year.

2571
02:11:53,600 --> 02:12:00,280
Speaker 2: All right, dak Jade Daniels. Patriots got a quarter back,

2572
02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:06,640
Speaker 2: Miami's got a quarterback. You mentioned Levis, Texans obviously have

2573
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:12,720
Speaker 2: a quarterback. Lions, Colts, I mean they're gonna go with Richardson, Vikings, Bears.

2574
02:12:13,400 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 3: They're all set, bo Nicks.

2575
02:12:16,120 --> 02:12:22,520
Speaker 2: You mentioned the Raiders, Niners, Packers, Cardinals, Seattle, I mean, Eagles, Rams.

2576
02:12:22,840 --> 02:12:23,760
Speaker 3: Ravens, Chargers.

2577
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:29,360
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's pretty much set except for Tennessee, the

2578
02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:30,640
Speaker 2: Raiders and the Giants.

2579
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:33,200
Speaker 4: Right Tennessee, the Raiders, the Giants for the Browns. Browns

2580
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 4: are gonna have to draft quarterback. I don't think James Jams.

2581
02:12:37,520 --> 02:12:39,600
Speaker 3: But you're not gonna, right, But you're not gonna.

2582
02:12:40,240 --> 02:12:43,080
Speaker 2: When I say draft, I mean Daniel Jones is gonna

2583
02:12:43,080 --> 02:12:44,000
Speaker 2: pop up in Cleveland?

2584
02:12:44,920 --> 02:12:48,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? Probably not unless yeah unless. My concern is that

2585
02:12:48,720 --> 02:12:50,000
Speaker 4: if you look at tank thumb right now and you

2586
02:12:50,040 --> 02:12:52,720
Speaker 4: look at the draft order, Cleveland has to draft a quarterback.

2587
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:54,800
Speaker 4: But they picked seventh as we sit right now, and

2588
02:12:55,320 --> 02:12:56,400
Speaker 4: that's not gonna work for them.

2589
02:12:56,680 --> 02:12:59,600
Speaker 2: So can I say one thing about the Browns because

2590
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 2: there was some talk about Kevin Stefanski, that dude's a

2591
02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:08,520
Speaker 2: great coach. I believe in Kevin Stefanski. I think he

2592
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:13,080
Speaker 2: knows what he's doing. He got saddled with a disease

2593
02:13:13,880 --> 02:13:17,920
Speaker 2: by the named it Deshaun Watson, all right, and that

2594
02:13:18,160 --> 02:13:19,480
Speaker 2: dude can coach.

2595
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:22,520
Speaker 3: His ownership let him down.

2596
02:13:23,160 --> 02:13:26,360
Speaker 2: And you know, people talking about Wall you know, what's

2597
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 2: the future hole for Kevin Stevanski. The Browns would be

2598
02:13:29,440 --> 02:13:32,600
Speaker 2: even dumber if they moved on from Kevin Stefanski.

2599
02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent agree with that. I don't think

2600
02:13:36,200 --> 02:13:41,160
Speaker 4: he's going anywhere, right, Like you shouldn't go anywhere, right, Yeah,

2601
02:13:41,560 --> 02:13:43,600
Speaker 4: people be lining up to hire him too. If he

2602
02:13:43,760 --> 02:13:46,080
Speaker 4: was fired, people would be lining up to hire him

2603
02:13:46,120 --> 02:13:49,880
Speaker 4: in a heartbeat. So, you know, is Indianapolis. I mean,

2604
02:13:50,840 --> 02:13:51,200
Speaker 4: let's see.

2605
02:13:51,760 --> 02:13:54,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you're not going anywhere. I mean, Richardson's your guy.

2606
02:13:55,560 --> 02:13:57,520
Speaker 4: It's well, I mean, he played really well last week.

2607
02:13:57,560 --> 02:13:59,480
Speaker 4: But if he continues to play the way he did play,

2608
02:14:00,040 --> 02:14:02,680
Speaker 4: I mean, they certainly know that they don't have an

2609
02:14:02,680 --> 02:14:06,160
Speaker 4: option if Anthony Richardson, they can't go into Anthony richard

2610
02:14:06,200 --> 02:14:08,680
Speaker 4: If he can complete forty eight percent of his passes

2611
02:14:08,720 --> 02:14:11,760
Speaker 4: the rest of the year as he did, then Anthony richards.

2612
02:14:11,440 --> 02:14:13,760
Speaker 2: Now he's got another of the year of development, Like

2613
02:14:13,800 --> 02:14:16,080
Speaker 2: you've got to play. You can't give up on him now.

2614
02:14:16,600 --> 02:14:18,960
Speaker 4: No, But they benched him for Flacco. They would bench

2615
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:21,040
Speaker 4: him for Daniel Jones too, Like you could go in

2616
02:14:21,120 --> 02:14:23,000
Speaker 4: there easily and at least compete for it.

2617
02:14:24,280 --> 02:14:26,280
Speaker 2: Maybe, But I mean, like, next year's got to be

2618
02:14:26,360 --> 02:14:30,160
Speaker 2: your See, here's where I would disagree. I think next

2619
02:14:30,360 --> 02:14:34,800
Speaker 2: year you have to fully commit to Anthony Richardson and

2620
02:14:34,880 --> 02:14:36,520
Speaker 2: you got to give him the year and go all right,

2621
02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:40,240
Speaker 2: where's he at at the end of the year, Like

2622
02:14:40,360 --> 02:14:43,000
Speaker 2: I need I need a full year commitment to him

2623
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:46,640
Speaker 2: next year and then I need to because that's the

2624
02:14:46,760 --> 02:14:49,480
Speaker 2: only way I want to find out if he's legitimate

2625
02:14:49,560 --> 02:14:49,720
Speaker 2: or not.

2626
02:14:51,160 --> 02:14:53,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. I think

2627
02:14:53,560 --> 02:14:55,280
Speaker 4: they should have never taken him off the field this

2628
02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:58,120
Speaker 4: year because they should have had a long term development

2629
02:14:58,160 --> 02:15:00,240
Speaker 4: approach to it. But taking him off the field year

2630
02:15:00,280 --> 02:15:02,400
Speaker 4: tells me they don't have a long term development approach.

2631
02:15:02,680 --> 02:15:05,320
Speaker 4: So if they're inconsistent this year, why do I expect

2632
02:15:05,360 --> 02:15:09,960
Speaker 4: them to be consistent next year? That's my only and

2633
02:15:10,080 --> 02:15:11,680
Speaker 4: all of that's going to be predicated on how he

2634
02:15:11,760 --> 02:15:13,920
Speaker 4: plays the rest of this season, Like if he if

2635
02:15:13,960 --> 02:15:15,640
Speaker 4: he turns a corner, which I hope he does. I

2636
02:15:15,640 --> 02:15:18,120
Speaker 4: always root for the kid if he you know, in general,

2637
02:15:18,200 --> 02:15:20,240
Speaker 4: the players that are drafted, I root for If he

2638
02:15:20,320 --> 02:15:23,840
Speaker 4: turns a corner, then you know, totally different conversation. But

2639
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:26,600
Speaker 4: certainly you know they've they've at least left the door

2640
02:15:26,680 --> 02:15:27,320
Speaker 4: open to that car.

2641
02:15:27,440 --> 02:15:29,080
Speaker 2: I mean, like you and I agree, like he should.

2642
02:15:29,200 --> 02:15:31,920
Speaker 2: They should not have thrown him right into it. He

2643
02:15:32,160 --> 02:15:34,080
Speaker 2: was a guy that needed to sit and watch a

2644
02:15:34,120 --> 02:15:37,400
Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, of all guys, he needed to

2645
02:15:37,480 --> 02:15:39,720
Speaker 2: sit and watch, and they threw him right into it.

2646
02:15:40,600 --> 02:15:43,480
Speaker 2: And I get where Stichen was thinking. He's thinking he

2647
02:15:43,520 --> 02:15:46,200
Speaker 2: could do a Hurtz piece with him, and you know,

2648
02:15:46,440 --> 02:15:49,040
Speaker 2: grun him a lot. But I just think you did

2649
02:15:49,080 --> 02:15:52,600
Speaker 2: the kid at the service, and then this year he said,

2650
02:15:52,640 --> 02:15:54,960
Speaker 2: well let's let him watch a little bit, and then

2651
02:15:55,000 --> 02:15:57,640
Speaker 2: you wind up going back to him. You know, I

2652
02:15:57,720 --> 02:16:00,800
Speaker 2: think next year you just got to commit just see

2653
02:16:00,880 --> 02:16:03,360
Speaker 2: all right, Well, you know I might have mishandled the

2654
02:16:03,400 --> 02:16:06,360
Speaker 2: first two years of his career, but let's go, let's

2655
02:16:06,400 --> 02:16:10,000
Speaker 2: get him, Let's really dive into him big off season

2656
02:16:10,160 --> 02:16:16,080
Speaker 2: work and and see if you got something. All right,

2657
02:16:16,160 --> 02:16:21,000
Speaker 2: let's go around the league for tomorrow so quickly. Your

2658
02:16:21,240 --> 02:16:28,480
Speaker 2: Giants and Tommy Cutlets are hosting Buccaneers. Yeah in that game,

2659
02:16:28,800 --> 02:16:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Kcy Carolina.

2660
02:16:32,480 --> 02:16:33,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gonna be a blood bath.

2661
02:16:34,800 --> 02:16:39,200
Speaker 3: Washington. Speaking of blood baths, Washington, Dallas, I.

2662
02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:41,800
Speaker 4: Mean, what's it gonna take to get McCarthy fired? Yep, Okay,

2663
02:16:41,879 --> 02:16:43,600
Speaker 4: that's another blood bath. We got some we got some

2664
02:16:43,720 --> 02:16:45,560
Speaker 4: good games, but we've got some bad ones tomorrow.

2665
02:16:45,680 --> 02:16:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Miabby. New England.

2666
02:16:49,200 --> 02:16:53,720
Speaker 4: Uh, look, I do think New England. I was condescending

2667
02:16:53,720 --> 02:16:56,080
Speaker 4: about this earlier, but New England's played tough this year,

2668
02:16:57,000 --> 02:16:58,920
Speaker 4: and Drake May, by the way, without much around him,

2669
02:16:58,920 --> 02:17:01,560
Speaker 4: I think it's been pretty good. Miami, I'm I'm still

2670
02:17:01,600 --> 02:17:03,760
Speaker 4: waiting for that big explosive holy cow.

2671
02:17:03,959 --> 02:17:04,000
Speaker 5: Like.

2672
02:17:04,360 --> 02:17:07,119
Speaker 4: Yeah. I know that Miami just beat the Raiders, obviously,

2673
02:17:07,400 --> 02:17:09,800
Speaker 4: but that game was close going into the fourth quarter

2674
02:17:09,879 --> 02:17:12,320
Speaker 4: and it shouldn't have been. So, you know, I wonder

2675
02:17:12,360 --> 02:17:14,200
Speaker 4: if New England toys with Miami a little bit.

2676
02:17:16,280 --> 02:17:20,120
Speaker 3: Lions Colts, I mean that.

2677
02:17:20,920 --> 02:17:23,560
Speaker 4: I don't know why people are even looking at that game,

2678
02:17:23,680 --> 02:17:27,400
Speaker 4: like the Lions right now, I'd love they're gonna put

2679
02:17:27,440 --> 02:17:28,720
Speaker 4: up fifty if they want to.

2680
02:17:29,160 --> 02:17:32,800
Speaker 3: The brain, I know you're right, but the brain likes Indianapolis.

2681
02:17:33,879 --> 02:17:37,000
Speaker 4: It's wait to hear why I'm that.

2682
02:17:37,120 --> 02:17:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's coming up. I don't I would I

2683
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:46,480
Speaker 2: side with you, Houston, Tennessee. I know it's not really

2684
02:17:46,600 --> 02:17:46,959
Speaker 2: much there.

2685
02:17:47,800 --> 02:17:47,959
Speaker 3: Now.

2686
02:17:48,240 --> 02:17:56,680
Speaker 2: This is interesting because Minnesota Chicago, and I'm curious. I

2687
02:17:56,840 --> 02:18:01,680
Speaker 2: kind of feel for Caleb because that Minnesota defense is

2688
02:18:01,720 --> 02:18:02,519
Speaker 2: the truth.

2689
02:18:03,840 --> 02:18:04,320
Speaker 1: Flores.

2690
02:18:04,480 --> 02:18:06,360
Speaker 3: There is a great defensive coordinator.

2691
02:18:06,440 --> 02:18:11,360
Speaker 4: Man, Oh my god. Yeah, and I look, I disagree

2692
02:18:11,400 --> 02:18:13,840
Speaker 4: with some people on the concept of him getting another

2693
02:18:13,879 --> 02:18:17,080
Speaker 4: head coaching job anytime soon, but I think he deserves one,

2694
02:18:17,200 --> 02:18:19,400
Speaker 4: to be very clear, And this is going to be

2695
02:18:19,440 --> 02:18:23,280
Speaker 4: a really good test because Chicago obviously came in with

2696
02:18:23,400 --> 02:18:25,600
Speaker 4: a much different looking game plan last week with the

2697
02:18:25,640 --> 02:18:28,920
Speaker 4: new offensive coordinator. Caleb was getting the ball out of

2698
02:18:28,959 --> 02:18:31,000
Speaker 4: his hands much faster, which I've been begging to happen

2699
02:18:31,080 --> 02:18:33,879
Speaker 4: for the course of the last two months. I think,

2700
02:18:33,959 --> 02:18:35,960
Speaker 4: you know, they're sort of pressing the reset button. This

2701
02:18:36,160 --> 02:18:39,160
Speaker 4: is a really good test on that because man, Minnesota,

2702
02:18:39,400 --> 02:18:42,920
Speaker 4: Minnesota is gonna have him seeing ghosts. I like Minnesota here,

2703
02:18:43,160 --> 02:18:47,480
Speaker 4: but also the Sam Darnold shine not for nothing. It's

2704
02:18:47,520 --> 02:18:49,720
Speaker 4: been a little bit on the on the decline over

2705
02:18:49,760 --> 02:18:52,000
Speaker 4: the last few weeks. Seen some bad throws, some bad

2706
02:18:52,080 --> 02:18:55,360
Speaker 4: picks like this, Minnesota. The love isn't going quite the

2707
02:18:55,400 --> 02:18:57,400
Speaker 4: same way it was going for Minnesota a few weeks ago.

2708
02:18:58,240 --> 02:19:00,640
Speaker 3: Agreed, you know, I feel you.

2709
02:19:01,680 --> 02:19:01,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

2710
02:19:01,959 --> 02:19:05,480
Speaker 2: And then your Raiders hosting the Broncos. How about what

2711
02:19:05,640 --> 02:19:09,400
Speaker 2: Sean Payton's done. O my god, he's a great coach.

2712
02:19:10,320 --> 02:19:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and really bringing out this much of Bo Knicks too.

2713
02:19:13,160 --> 02:19:15,480
Speaker 4: It's just I thought Bo was only going to be okay,

2714
02:19:15,560 --> 02:19:17,680
Speaker 4: and Bo looks great with him. I'm a ton of

2715
02:19:17,720 --> 02:19:20,120
Speaker 4: credit to the I was wrong about the Broncos. I

2716
02:19:20,240 --> 02:19:21,840
Speaker 4: think the Broncos are going to roll in this game

2717
02:19:21,879 --> 02:19:24,320
Speaker 4: by three touchdowns. So the Raiders deestimated by injuries in

2718
02:19:24,360 --> 02:19:26,400
Speaker 4: the back end of the defense too, Like it's gonna

2719
02:19:26,400 --> 02:19:27,480
Speaker 4: be an ugly football game.

2720
02:19:28,959 --> 02:19:29,359
Speaker 3: Ugly.

2721
02:19:29,879 --> 02:19:32,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I are not going to win another game this year.

2722
02:19:32,720 --> 02:19:35,520
Speaker 4: I'm well equipped to handle the fact that the Raiders

2723
02:19:35,560 --> 02:19:36,080
Speaker 4: are going to finish.

2724
02:19:36,160 --> 02:19:36,320
Speaker 3: Well.

2725
02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:39,320
Speaker 2: Now, you're you're you're in Tacathon. That's why you're all

2726
02:19:39,400 --> 02:19:40,160
Speaker 2: over Tacathon.

2727
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:43,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean usually it's about week six that

2728
02:19:43,400 --> 02:19:45,200
Speaker 4: I start looking at Tankathon, But at two and eight,

2729
02:19:45,520 --> 02:19:47,320
Speaker 4: I think the Raiders are headed to the dreaded two

2730
02:19:47,360 --> 02:19:50,280
Speaker 4: and fifteen. I genuinely believe that's where they're headed.

2731
02:19:50,959 --> 02:19:53,600
Speaker 2: I feel you all right, fellas, we get the brain

2732
02:19:53,680 --> 02:19:57,200
Speaker 2: coming up to look at things from a betting perspective.

2733
02:19:57,200 --> 02:20:00,280
Speaker 2: I'll give you some plays. Uh, stay with us right

2746
02:20:48,920 --> 02:20:51,360
Speaker 2: a look at the card from the weekend from a

2747
02:20:51,440 --> 02:20:52,560
Speaker 2: betting standpoint.

2748
02:20:53,000 --> 02:20:56,640
Speaker 6: Good morning, Brain, Good morning Anthy, How are you today?

2749
02:20:56,959 --> 02:20:59,879
Speaker 2: Good buddy? Get ready for a big day, a big

2750
02:21:00,120 --> 02:21:05,840
Speaker 2: weekend of football. Let's start with big newon kickoff. Indiana,

2751
02:21:06,040 --> 02:21:11,760
Speaker 2: Ohio state where you kind of side here? And do

2752
02:21:11,840 --> 02:21:14,800
Speaker 2: you think Indiana could put up some numbers. Can you

2753
02:21:14,879 --> 02:21:17,199
Speaker 2: think Indiana could score on Ohio State?

2754
02:21:18,280 --> 02:21:21,640
Speaker 6: You know, the interesting brain has got all the way

2755
02:21:21,760 --> 02:21:25,200
Speaker 6: up to like thirteen now sitting in like the ten

2756
02:21:25,680 --> 02:21:28,400
Speaker 6: to ten and a half area. Look, you know it's interesting.

2757
02:21:28,440 --> 02:21:31,200
Speaker 6: I think to me, two games are pretty similar today, right,

2758
02:21:31,720 --> 02:21:35,840
Speaker 6: the Ohio State game versus Indiana and the Army game

2759
02:21:35,920 --> 02:21:38,560
Speaker 6: versus d game. And they're similar because we have two

2760
02:21:38,640 --> 02:21:42,560
Speaker 6: teams in Indiana and Army that have been great all year.

2761
02:21:42,959 --> 02:21:45,840
Speaker 6: But there's a big elephant in the room. Both teams

2762
02:21:45,879 --> 02:21:49,520
Speaker 6: have played absolutely atrocious schedules. So you say to yourself,

2763
02:21:49,959 --> 02:21:52,360
Speaker 6: you know, you know, you play who you play, and

2764
02:21:52,480 --> 02:21:54,680
Speaker 6: you could be really good. If you don't play anyone great,

2765
02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:57,800
Speaker 6: how can you dominate how great you are or you're

2766
02:21:57,879 --> 02:22:01,680
Speaker 6: just absoutely overrated because of this schedule. Look, I personally

2767
02:22:01,720 --> 02:22:05,080
Speaker 6: think Indiana is good now. They did struggle, probably the

2768
02:22:05,160 --> 02:22:08,520
Speaker 6: mostly struggled any game last week against Michigan. Michigan obviously,

2769
02:22:08,680 --> 02:22:12,200
Speaker 6: you know, has better athletes and defensively gave them a

2770
02:22:12,240 --> 02:22:15,000
Speaker 6: little bit of trouble. All that being said, again, I

2771
02:22:15,879 --> 02:22:19,040
Speaker 6: Anthea keep saying it each week on your show. I

2772
02:22:19,240 --> 02:22:21,680
Speaker 6: believe that this year in college football is the most

2773
02:22:21,800 --> 02:22:24,840
Speaker 6: parody driven year that we've ever seen, at least in

2774
02:22:24,920 --> 02:22:27,640
Speaker 6: my lifetime. I should say, I am going back a

2775
02:22:27,720 --> 02:22:29,760
Speaker 6: lot of years, and I don't think I've ever seen

2776
02:22:29,840 --> 02:22:33,240
Speaker 6: a smaller division between which the number one power rated

2777
02:22:33,280 --> 02:22:36,760
Speaker 6: team versus let's say, the number fifteen power rated team.

2778
02:22:37,040 --> 02:22:39,760
Speaker 6: I think all these teams are somewhat close. I don't

2779
02:22:39,800 --> 02:22:42,879
Speaker 6: think anyone really stands out above, and I think Indiana

2780
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:45,200
Speaker 6: can keep this close. Now again, I think a lot

2781
02:22:45,240 --> 02:22:48,520
Speaker 6: of the value which unfortunately sucked out going from thirteen

2782
02:22:48,560 --> 02:22:51,520
Speaker 6: to ten, that is a big, big, big move. I

2783
02:22:51,640 --> 02:22:54,600
Speaker 6: know they had some more injuries in practice this week,

2784
02:22:54,680 --> 02:22:57,200
Speaker 6: but lean here Indiana. But again, I think a lot

2785
02:22:57,240 --> 02:22:59,320
Speaker 6: of the value has gone now that's gone down to

2786
02:22:59,400 --> 02:22:59,880
Speaker 6: three points.

2787
02:23:00,240 --> 02:23:02,720
Speaker 4: So if you're leaning Indiana there, how are you leaning

2788
02:23:02,800 --> 02:23:03,720
Speaker 4: on Notre Dame Army?

2789
02:23:04,120 --> 02:23:07,800
Speaker 6: You know, let's I love your yeah exactly. I mean, look,

2790
02:23:07,959 --> 02:23:12,520
Speaker 6: you know I earlier bet Army getting I think I

2791
02:23:12,600 --> 02:23:16,320
Speaker 6: was taking sixteen. I took earlier with the Army. In

2792
02:23:16,440 --> 02:23:20,360
Speaker 6: the week. The line has gone down, you know, the

2793
02:23:20,480 --> 02:23:24,040
Speaker 6: line has gone down. And again it's interesting Army has

2794
02:23:24,120 --> 02:23:27,000
Speaker 6: not played again. This is incredible. They have not played

2795
02:23:27,040 --> 02:23:31,280
Speaker 6: a top ninety teen this year in college football, which

2796
02:23:31,360 --> 02:23:35,600
Speaker 6: is almost impossible. I don't know how you get I mean,

2797
02:23:35,920 --> 02:23:38,640
Speaker 6: you do that, but a line's now down to fourteen.

2798
02:23:40,120 --> 02:23:42,680
Speaker 6: I thought the fair line in this game was thirteen

2799
02:23:42,720 --> 02:23:45,000
Speaker 6: and a half to fourteen. Again, I did that. Army

2800
02:23:45,040 --> 02:23:49,000
Speaker 6: getting sixteen at fourteen really just I think kind of

2801
02:23:49,080 --> 02:23:53,720
Speaker 6: like the right number. I just remember that Army game.

2802
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:57,560
Speaker 6: I'm sorry that Notre Dame game against Navy, and Navy

2803
02:23:57,640 --> 02:24:00,480
Speaker 6: again similar to Army. Is that way better? The last

2804
02:24:00,560 --> 02:24:04,720
Speaker 6: year was scoring like crazy, hadn't played anyone good, and

2805
02:24:04,879 --> 02:24:06,760
Speaker 6: we saw what Notre Dame did to them. They really

2806
02:24:06,800 --> 02:24:10,000
Speaker 6: put down the beat down with them. And then again

2807
02:24:10,680 --> 02:24:14,080
Speaker 6: Army's game against for Texas two weeks ago, one of

2808
02:24:14,120 --> 02:24:16,800
Speaker 6: the most deceiving scorers you'll see. They won fourteen to three.

2809
02:24:16,879 --> 02:24:19,280
Speaker 6: I believe I had been on North Texas getting six.

2810
02:24:19,640 --> 02:24:22,280
Speaker 6: North Texas did everything except win the game. I believe

2811
02:24:22,360 --> 02:24:25,280
Speaker 6: four times stopped at the one yard line without scoring

2812
02:24:25,320 --> 02:24:29,840
Speaker 6: a point four times. So I would trick carefully if

2813
02:24:30,120 --> 02:24:32,800
Speaker 6: if you're leaning to Notre Dame laying those kind of

2814
02:24:32,800 --> 02:24:35,760
Speaker 6: points against under a team. But I think I'm gonna

2815
02:24:35,760 --> 02:24:38,320
Speaker 6: look at that live if I see that Army can't

2816
02:24:38,400 --> 02:24:40,640
Speaker 6: hang and they're still saying Notre Dames a far are

2817
02:24:40,680 --> 02:24:43,840
Speaker 6: a better team. I'll probably look to that army. If

2818
02:24:43,959 --> 02:24:46,119
Speaker 6: it looks like to me they're just overmatched, I will

2819
02:24:46,640 --> 02:24:49,720
Speaker 6: gladly take Notre Dame lives that looks like armies in

2820
02:24:49,800 --> 02:24:50,440
Speaker 6: over their heads.

2821
02:24:51,480 --> 02:24:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thinks that's a good strategy. Uh oh Miss

2822
02:24:54,920 --> 02:24:58,760
Speaker 3: today both fourteen and I love them. I know I

2823
02:24:58,920 --> 02:24:59,640
Speaker 3: know you do too.

2824
02:25:01,160 --> 02:25:05,520
Speaker 2: That's the one game I feel most confident today would

2825
02:25:05,560 --> 02:25:06,119
Speaker 2: be All Miss.

2826
02:25:06,879 --> 02:25:08,560
Speaker 6: And I mean we see it the same way. Ole

2827
02:25:08,640 --> 02:25:11,920
Speaker 6: Miss is the team I am most confident. Look, I

2828
02:25:12,040 --> 02:25:14,400
Speaker 6: actually think ole Miss and you're looking at the only

2829
02:25:14,480 --> 02:25:16,560
Speaker 6: thing that we always talk about teams that maybe aren't

2830
02:25:16,959 --> 02:25:18,960
Speaker 6: other rank high, But I mean that the ole Miss

2831
02:25:19,040 --> 02:25:21,120
Speaker 6: I think quite possibly could be the best team in

2832
02:25:21,160 --> 02:25:25,200
Speaker 6: college football this year. Now again they lost a heartbreaking

2833
02:25:25,320 --> 02:25:27,840
Speaker 6: game to LSU, a game they really should have won

2834
02:25:28,240 --> 02:25:30,560
Speaker 6: in the road in one of the rare times Brian

2835
02:25:30,640 --> 02:25:32,960
Speaker 6: Kelly this year has gotten this team to play good

2836
02:25:34,280 --> 02:25:36,960
Speaker 6: against the Florida team looked Napier was coaching for his life.

2837
02:25:37,959 --> 02:25:41,320
Speaker 6: Credit to him, He's right to ship someone. But here's

2838
02:25:41,360 --> 02:25:44,080
Speaker 6: the difference. I just think these two teams count wise,

2839
02:25:44,160 --> 02:25:47,560
Speaker 6: class wise, I see a big chasm, huge difference. I

2840
02:25:47,680 --> 02:25:50,440
Speaker 6: thought the lawn shoping closer to two touchdowns laid nine

2841
02:25:50,440 --> 02:25:51,680
Speaker 6: and a half of the open. I think it's still

2842
02:25:51,720 --> 02:25:54,600
Speaker 6: ten and a half as I look now. I still

2843
02:25:54,760 --> 02:25:57,000
Speaker 6: like Mississippi to win this one by two touchdowns.

2844
02:25:57,040 --> 02:25:57,520
Speaker 3: I really do.

2845
02:25:57,640 --> 02:25:59,959
Speaker 6: I think that they are clicking at the right moment

2846
02:26:00,120 --> 02:26:02,480
Speaker 6: now that they got that big bugaboo off their back,

2847
02:26:02,879 --> 02:26:06,160
Speaker 6: finally winning a big game guys right against Georgia. I

2848
02:26:06,280 --> 02:26:09,160
Speaker 6: think it's smooth sailing for them into the college football playoffs.

2849
02:26:10,040 --> 02:26:12,640
Speaker 4: Okay, so who's actually like when you look at the

2850
02:26:12,640 --> 02:26:15,480
Speaker 4: college football landscape? Because you mentioned more parody, who do

2851
02:26:15,560 --> 02:26:16,840
Speaker 4: you actually have a ton of faith?

2852
02:26:16,920 --> 02:26:21,960
Speaker 6: Then again, like you now, the answer is no one.

2853
02:26:22,480 --> 02:26:24,879
Speaker 6: And I don't say I mean, I'm just keeping it real,

2854
02:26:25,040 --> 02:26:27,199
Speaker 6: Like I'm not saying these teams are bad. They're obviously

2855
02:26:27,200 --> 02:26:28,920
Speaker 6: all good. But what I'm saying is there is no

2856
02:26:29,160 --> 02:26:31,800
Speaker 6: Georgia when the year's smartest way in the titles, but

2857
02:26:31,959 --> 02:26:35,160
Speaker 6: they're seven years that Saban won his titles. There's no

2858
02:26:35,320 --> 02:26:38,160
Speaker 6: Michigan of last year. There's no LSU with Joe Burrow,

2859
02:26:38,320 --> 02:26:40,160
Speaker 6: but there's no team even close to that, like not

2860
02:26:40,240 --> 02:26:42,320
Speaker 6: even forget I mean not even in the in the

2861
02:26:42,400 --> 02:26:44,760
Speaker 6: same close. I mean, all these teams three would be

2862
02:26:44,760 --> 02:26:48,200
Speaker 6: at least touchdown underdogs against those teams. So what it's

2863
02:26:48,240 --> 02:26:50,720
Speaker 6: done is right, which is which is exciting in the

2864
02:26:50,800 --> 02:26:53,240
Speaker 6: sense that when like the number twelve team plays the

2865
02:26:53,280 --> 02:26:55,480
Speaker 6: number one team in the playoffs in years past, did

2866
02:26:55,560 --> 02:26:58,600
Speaker 6: see it would be utter blowout. Those teams wouldn't have

2867
02:26:58,600 --> 02:27:00,640
Speaker 6: a chance. I mean there'd be no don't even playing

2868
02:27:00,720 --> 02:27:03,320
Speaker 6: the game. Really, But now there's a lot of parody.

2869
02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:05,640
Speaker 6: And Anthony we talked about before, He's like, maybe I'm

2870
02:27:05,680 --> 02:27:08,119
Speaker 6: looking for a long shot. I think Notre Dames he mentioned,

2871
02:27:08,400 --> 02:27:10,000
Speaker 6: and they were like twenty eight to one to win

2872
02:27:10,040 --> 02:27:12,039
Speaker 6: the titles something like that. There's every year you want

2873
02:27:12,080 --> 02:27:14,240
Speaker 6: to take a long shot to win the titles. Doesn't

2874
02:27:14,240 --> 02:27:16,520
Speaker 6: mean they're gonna win it, but I think this is

2875
02:27:16,560 --> 02:27:20,560
Speaker 6: a year that a team that's maybe sitting outside being

2876
02:27:20,640 --> 02:27:24,440
Speaker 6: on that top quote unquote upper echelon. I think anyone

2877
02:27:24,560 --> 02:27:26,480
Speaker 6: really can win it who makes the playoffs. Maybe not

2878
02:27:26,560 --> 02:27:28,760
Speaker 6: a team like the Uyu, I don't think they could

2879
02:27:28,800 --> 02:27:30,840
Speaker 6: do it, but outside of you know, a team like that,

2880
02:27:32,480 --> 02:27:34,320
Speaker 6: I really think there's just so much power in the

2881
02:27:34,320 --> 02:27:36,400
Speaker 6: answer to this. I think anyone could be anyone, So

2882
02:27:36,440 --> 02:27:37,520
Speaker 6: I don't trust any of these games.

2883
02:27:38,480 --> 02:27:43,880
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm curious about Colorado Kansas. Could Kansas do it

2884
02:27:43,920 --> 02:27:45,440
Speaker 2: again Las Day?

2885
02:27:45,600 --> 02:27:46,800
Speaker 3: Will they win? Okay?

2886
02:27:47,240 --> 02:27:50,920
Speaker 6: I think it's interesting. I Colorado has been a good

2887
02:27:50,959 --> 02:27:53,480
Speaker 6: team week because I think they've been underrated by the

2888
02:27:53,560 --> 02:27:56,200
Speaker 6: market a lot of I think, I don't know, it's weird.

2889
02:27:56,240 --> 02:27:58,240
Speaker 6: I think it's almost on one to eighty work Deyon

2890
02:27:58,400 --> 02:28:00,880
Speaker 6: started to get like Kate and I feel like a

2891
02:28:00,920 --> 02:28:03,600
Speaker 6: lot of sharp betters. I've almost wanted to prove they're

2892
02:28:03,680 --> 02:28:06,440
Speaker 6: tough or something like that, where they want to like

2893
02:28:06,560 --> 02:28:09,920
Speaker 6: not be like on the Colorado side, and I'm like, again,

2894
02:28:09,959 --> 02:28:12,440
Speaker 6: I have no biases in any of the stuff I do.

2895
02:28:12,600 --> 02:28:14,920
Speaker 6: And I felt like someone College Calordo got a little

2896
02:28:14,920 --> 02:28:17,959
Speaker 6: bit of negative connotation to them because the public initially

2897
02:28:18,160 --> 02:28:21,480
Speaker 6: liked them. That being said, I think it's a tough matchup.

2898
02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:24,119
Speaker 6: I think Kansas has a good secondary and I think

2899
02:28:24,200 --> 02:28:25,920
Speaker 6: Kannas is playing really well, and I guess games to

2900
02:28:25,959 --> 02:28:27,720
Speaker 6: be close. I think it's going to be very tight.

2901
02:28:28,600 --> 02:28:31,160
Speaker 6: You get three points, and again I always love getting

2902
02:28:31,200 --> 02:28:32,640
Speaker 6: three in the game. I think it's kind of fifty

2903
02:28:32,640 --> 02:28:35,080
Speaker 6: to fifties. I think this game is fifty fifties. Give

2904
02:28:35,160 --> 02:28:36,520
Speaker 6: me three points in the game that they can know

2905
02:28:36,640 --> 02:28:36,960
Speaker 6: either way.

2906
02:28:37,040 --> 02:28:38,800
Speaker 4: All right, is there any other play that you're looking

2907
02:28:38,840 --> 02:28:39,920
Speaker 4: at today that we haven't gotten?

2908
02:28:39,959 --> 02:28:40,520
Speaker 3: Do that you love?

2909
02:28:40,760 --> 02:28:41,080
Speaker 6: I love?

2910
02:28:41,160 --> 02:28:42,040
Speaker 3: No, No, not really.

2911
02:28:42,120 --> 02:28:46,320
Speaker 6: I mean Mississippi was my biggest bet of the day. Guys.

2912
02:28:47,440 --> 02:28:52,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the NFL and give us

2913
02:28:52,360 --> 02:28:57,600
Speaker 2: your let's go through your first game. I know you

2914
02:28:57,680 --> 02:29:00,800
Speaker 2: were all Green Bay San fran and you got worried

2915
02:29:00,840 --> 02:29:02,000
Speaker 2: about party earlier.

2916
02:29:02,720 --> 02:29:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was ay, that ship kind of sound Yeah,

2917
02:29:06,520 --> 02:29:07,520
Speaker 3: I mean listen.

2918
02:29:07,480 --> 02:29:09,840
Speaker 6: I kind of got word that party probably wasn't going

2919
02:29:09,920 --> 02:29:12,840
Speaker 6: to play, so I made big bets something under and

2920
02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:16,199
Speaker 6: on San Francisco. But again, like that line has changed.

2921
02:29:16,240 --> 02:29:19,320
Speaker 6: Now we're talking about what is not what was online

2922
02:29:19,400 --> 02:29:22,160
Speaker 6: right now, I believe sitting at five, which you know,

2923
02:29:22,200 --> 02:29:25,840
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be honest, I think that's still like a

2924
02:29:25,959 --> 02:29:29,120
Speaker 6: little bit maybe like like now, again, the thing is

2925
02:29:29,760 --> 02:29:32,960
Speaker 6: is that with Shanahan is a great coach, and I

2926
02:29:33,040 --> 02:29:36,320
Speaker 6: guess you know, listen, we saw with the Vikings another

2927
02:29:36,360 --> 02:29:39,960
Speaker 6: good offense coach for the O'Connell. He made Joshua Dobbs.

2928
02:29:39,959 --> 02:29:43,279
Speaker 6: If you remember last year guys and h Nick Mullins

2929
02:29:43,720 --> 02:29:47,480
Speaker 6: looked like superheroes for a couple of weeks, and these

2930
02:29:47,520 --> 02:29:52,640
Speaker 6: were like, obviously quarterbacks, Can Shanahan do that with Bryt

2931
02:29:52,720 --> 02:29:55,480
Speaker 6: Allen as a quarterback? I don't think so to me.

2932
02:29:55,640 --> 02:29:59,360
Speaker 6: Losing both of guys again, did you watch that game?

2933
02:30:00,480 --> 02:30:00,640
Speaker 4: Now?

2934
02:30:01,320 --> 02:30:04,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just not their year. I believe this is

2935
02:30:04,680 --> 02:30:09,240
Speaker 6: just not your year, and I I agree, I see

2936
02:30:10,720 --> 02:30:12,640
Speaker 6: bay to me, even if again I thought the line

2937
02:30:12,640 --> 02:30:15,320
Speaker 6: would go higher than five, the answer, I thought it

2938
02:30:15,360 --> 02:30:17,360
Speaker 6: would go higher than five. I like party a lot.

2939
02:30:17,840 --> 02:30:20,879
Speaker 6: I maybe ranked pretty higher than I guess the market does.

2940
02:30:21,120 --> 02:30:24,440
Speaker 6: They're maybe saying a system quarterback based on that line move,

2941
02:30:24,480 --> 02:30:26,880
Speaker 6: which was about let's call it three three and a

2942
02:30:26,879 --> 02:30:28,720
Speaker 6: half points, I thought it should have been at least

2943
02:30:29,240 --> 02:30:31,480
Speaker 6: five five and a half points in my third opinion.

2944
02:30:31,560 --> 02:30:32,800
Speaker 6: But we'll see how it plays out.

2945
02:30:33,280 --> 02:30:35,160
Speaker 4: Okay, but I got to hear about this Colt think

2946
02:30:35,160 --> 02:30:39,000
Speaker 4: because I Andy said earlier, you're not on the Colts

2947
02:30:39,040 --> 02:30:40,400
Speaker 4: against the Lions. What do you see?

2948
02:30:41,240 --> 02:30:41,360
Speaker 3: Well?

2949
02:30:41,440 --> 02:30:43,160
Speaker 6: Let me okay, first, let me just say this. Let's

2950
02:30:43,160 --> 02:30:48,320
Speaker 6: say this my again, my biggest future bet you're currently

2951
02:30:48,440 --> 02:30:51,800
Speaker 6: in the NFL by ten X is the Lions to

2952
02:30:51,840 --> 02:30:54,080
Speaker 6: win the Super Bowl. Lines to win the NFC. So

2953
02:30:54,240 --> 02:30:57,600
Speaker 6: I I am very bullish on lines the team. I

2954
02:30:57,680 --> 02:31:00,800
Speaker 6: am very bullish on the way they're Everything in the

2955
02:31:00,879 --> 02:31:03,680
Speaker 6: line's done is right, right. I mean, there's there's nothing

2956
02:31:03,720 --> 02:31:06,880
Speaker 6: to criticize. But you know, it's so interesting for me.

2957
02:31:07,120 --> 02:31:09,080
Speaker 6: And again this is why I like with my problem

2958
02:31:09,080 --> 02:31:12,879
Speaker 6: with analytics. Analytics are great when used in a way

2959
02:31:12,920 --> 02:31:14,760
Speaker 6: where you've used them properly and you don't just go

2960
02:31:15,240 --> 02:31:17,440
Speaker 6: exclusively what the chart says. There's a field of this,

2961
02:31:17,760 --> 02:31:21,560
Speaker 6: there's a nuance to it. And to me, this is

2962
02:31:21,600 --> 02:31:26,240
Speaker 6: a spot situational fit. See Detroit's won what eight in

2963
02:31:26,280 --> 02:31:28,640
Speaker 6: a row, whatever, it is, coming in against a team

2964
02:31:28,720 --> 02:31:31,600
Speaker 6: that you know got their quarterback back, not that he

2965
02:31:31,720 --> 02:31:33,920
Speaker 6: was dating, you know that this guy was great, but

2966
02:31:34,000 --> 02:31:36,600
Speaker 6: he played his best game he's played in a few years, Okay,

2967
02:31:37,200 --> 02:31:40,280
Speaker 6: and they're at home, and I just I think this

2968
02:31:40,400 --> 02:31:42,080
Speaker 6: is a spot where I think it's hard to just

2969
02:31:42,440 --> 02:31:46,400
Speaker 6: win every single game in the NFL against decent competition.

2970
02:31:46,720 --> 02:31:48,760
Speaker 6: The calles to me the definition of a decent team.

2971
02:31:49,040 --> 02:31:50,680
Speaker 6: To me, they're an eight and eight. Well in this

2972
02:31:50,800 --> 02:31:52,080
Speaker 6: world to call it eight and a half and eight

2973
02:31:52,120 --> 02:31:55,840
Speaker 6: and a half team with seventeen game schedule, and I

2974
02:31:56,000 --> 02:31:59,080
Speaker 6: just think situational the spot was. I think Richardson will

2975
02:31:59,120 --> 02:32:02,800
Speaker 6: have some scs running the ball against this Detroit defense.

2976
02:32:03,200 --> 02:32:05,920
Speaker 6: I think they keep this game close. Wouldn't even be

2977
02:32:06,080 --> 02:32:09,120
Speaker 6: shocked if they put out the aud opposite. More of

2978
02:32:09,160 --> 02:32:12,720
Speaker 6: a spot played for me where giving napoletes saved their

2979
02:32:12,720 --> 02:32:16,240
Speaker 6: season last week again se Jets, they're rolling along Detroit.

2980
02:32:16,440 --> 02:32:18,440
Speaker 6: There's always that bump in the road kind of game.

2981
02:32:18,920 --> 02:32:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2982
02:32:19,400 --> 02:32:21,560
Speaker 6: I just think with coming up they have the Vikings

2983
02:32:21,600 --> 02:32:24,160
Speaker 6: coming up, Packers coming up. But I just think this

2984
02:32:24,320 --> 02:32:26,960
Speaker 6: is the spot, This is the game where Indy keeps

2985
02:32:27,000 --> 02:32:27,720
Speaker 6: this game close.

2986
02:32:28,320 --> 02:32:30,440
Speaker 2: All right, I got real quick because we got like

2987
02:32:30,480 --> 02:32:34,120
Speaker 2: forty five second. Give me anybody else you like in

2988
02:32:34,200 --> 02:32:37,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. And then there was a question real quick,

2989
02:32:37,320 --> 02:32:42,000
Speaker 2: and there was a question from a listener knows you

2990
02:32:42,200 --> 02:32:47,040
Speaker 2: have my man, Nick knows you have SMU to win

2991
02:32:47,120 --> 02:32:49,400
Speaker 2: the ac C d aheads with Virginia.

2992
02:32:50,480 --> 02:32:52,760
Speaker 6: No, no, no, not at all, because if he has

2993
02:32:52,800 --> 02:32:54,480
Speaker 6: the same that No, they have to just go one

2994
02:32:54,640 --> 02:32:56,720
Speaker 6: one to make the tournament, to make the SEC title

2995
02:32:56,760 --> 02:32:58,920
Speaker 6: on the A title game all head in the ACT

2996
02:32:59,080 --> 02:33:01,200
Speaker 6: title game. No, they have two games. They're gonna be

2997
02:33:01,240 --> 02:33:04,160
Speaker 6: huge favorites. About they play. I think Cow next week too.

2998
02:33:04,480 --> 02:33:06,640
Speaker 6: He should win one of these two. If they don't,

2999
02:33:06,920 --> 02:33:08,400
Speaker 6: what can I do? If they can't win this double

3000
02:33:08,440 --> 02:33:10,120
Speaker 6: digit favorites two times in a row, that's on me.

3001
02:33:10,360 --> 02:33:13,080
Speaker 6: Here are games run through it? Like under forty nine

3002
02:33:13,120 --> 02:33:15,600
Speaker 6: and a half the Eagles. Rams also know about the Smith,

3003
02:33:15,920 --> 02:33:18,480
Speaker 6: so I think that line's too high. Eagles even playing great,

3004
02:33:18,920 --> 02:33:21,200
Speaker 6: like the Ravens lanying two and a half against the

3005
02:33:21,320 --> 02:33:25,360
Speaker 6: Chargers Monday night, like the Broncos laying six against the Raiders,

3006
02:33:25,920 --> 02:33:28,280
Speaker 6: like the Vikings lane three three and a half against

3007
02:33:28,640 --> 02:33:33,080
Speaker 6: the Bears, And I like, I think that was it, guys,

3008
02:33:33,200 --> 02:33:33,959
Speaker 6: I think that's great.

3009
02:33:35,480 --> 02:33:38,480
Speaker 3: That's great stuff. Brand have a great weekend.

3010
02:33:38,600 --> 02:33:38,720
Speaker 4: Man.

3011
02:33:39,520 --> 02:33:41,800
Speaker 3: You know we root for you here. He is the brain.

Speaker 2: Brother, all right, we'll come back and wrap it up

3014
02:33:46,760 --> 02:33:49,240
Speaker 2: fellas right here, Fox Sports Radio.

3015
02:33:50,520 --> 02:33:52,080

Speaker 3: I know it does. I know, Mighty Mark, he's on point.

3018
02:34:01,800 --> 02:34:06,080
Speaker 4: It's you, dude, God. You know, it just feels good.

3020
02:34:10,680 --> 02:34:12,440

3021
02:34:12,480 --> 02:34:15,560
Speaker 4: to do this again until after Thanksgiving. So it's it's

3022
02:34:15,640 --> 02:34:17,240
Speaker 4: kind of crazy to think that the next time we'll

3023

Speaker 3: I I can't do it. I can't. I can't do it.

3048
02:35:29,959 --> 02:35:31,600
Speaker 4: The key I've done it for years. I've gone out

3049
02:35:31,600 --> 02:35:34,480
Speaker 4: on Black Friday every year. But yeah, I love that.

3050
02:35:34,879 --> 02:35:35,240
Speaker 3: I love it.

3051
02:35:35,480 --> 02:35:38,160
Speaker 4: But here's the thing, you know, I'm not looking for anything.

3052
02:35:38,480 --> 02:35:40,240
Speaker 4: Like my whole thing is like I just love the

3053
02:35:40,360 --> 02:35:43,400
Speaker 4: chaos and like people carrying the shopping bags and like

3054
02:35:44,240 --> 02:35:47,240
Speaker 4: done it. Like I just love, like I love the energy.

3055
02:35:47,280 --> 02:35:50,160
Speaker 3: So you're not so you're not actually going with a purpose.

3056
02:35:50,280 --> 02:35:52,240
Speaker 3: You just go to get the vibe.

3057
02:35:52,920 --> 02:35:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like that's whole things, Like there's nothing I really need,

3058
02:35:56,000 --> 02:35:58,640
Speaker 4: you know, I'm I'm cheap enough that I look around

3059
02:35:58,680 --> 02:36:00,600
Speaker 4: and say, I don't I don't have to buy it. Like, yes,

3060
02:36:00,680 --> 02:36:02,160
Speaker 4: I could go to Best Buy and make it rain

3061
02:36:02,280 --> 02:36:05,360
Speaker 4: on some new Sono speakers, but I don't need any

3062
02:36:05,440 --> 02:36:07,240
Speaker 4: of that sort of stuff. So for me, that's that's

3063
02:36:07,240 --> 02:36:09,119
Speaker 4: one of the keys, is like just to go out

3064
02:36:09,120 --> 02:36:11,680
Speaker 4: and just you know, like I'll get a cup of coffee,

3065
02:36:12,160 --> 02:36:13,800
Speaker 4: walk through and see, oh, like these are the five

3066
02:36:13,879 --> 02:36:15,680
Speaker 4: dollars deals and This is the way I always approach

3067
02:36:15,760 --> 02:36:19,320
Speaker 4: Christmas shopping for my friends is always I'm there's no

3068
02:36:19,400 --> 02:36:22,600
Speaker 4: guarantees anybody gets anything. I think that the most important

3069
02:36:22,600 --> 02:36:25,840
Speaker 4: thing is if I see something that really resonates for someone,

3070
02:36:25,959 --> 02:36:28,160
Speaker 4: I'll get it. And if I don't, I won't. I

3071
02:36:28,200 --> 02:36:29,760
Speaker 4: won't just be like, well, I gotta get a present

3072
02:36:29,840 --> 02:36:31,560
Speaker 4: for this person. Got it? Like, I don't do it

3073
02:36:31,640 --> 02:36:32,920
Speaker 4: that way. But if I'm out, what do you do?

3074
02:36:33,120 --> 02:36:36,160
Speaker 3: Like if you don't find any cash them up?

3075
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:39,560
Speaker 4: No, no, not cash. Gosh, that's too callous now, Like

3076

Speaker 4: we're old enough at this point. That's just a merry Christmas?
