20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 5: I don't know if this is okay to do, but

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 5: product placement a little apple cinnamon this morning?

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,520

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 6: That guy means business when he busts out the apple cinnamon.

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 6: I don't know if anybody knows that, but that's a

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 6: big deal.

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: It is.

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: It's uh breakfasted champions.

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: That's right.

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: It is a top shelf type of day over here, guys.

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 5: But let's just dive right in Florida State, Georgia Tech

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 5: like Old Mills Lane. Let's get it off right in

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 5: Ireland here. It feels kind of weird that they're playing

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 5: behind the Irish's back, you know what I mean, Like

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 5: this feels like Notre Dame territory, does it not?

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: It does a little bit.

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 6: I was talking about that this week, about how all

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 6: these professional sports leagues have taken their games international. NBA

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 6: for many many years, they've been trying to expand their borders.

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 6: They actually do what I described as NBA mission trips

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 6: to a variety of continents, bringing you know, basketball everywhere.

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 6: I mean, there's a huge basketball presence in Africa now

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 6: as a result of that, and Asia. You know, Yao

45
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 6: Ming obviously shepherded in that era of Asian basketball, and

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 6: basketball is huge in China for example. You know, think

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 6: about Major League Baseball, the season began in South Korea,

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 6: the NFL, they're not slowing down. They're adding to the

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 6: international slate. You have a game being played in Germany. Again,

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 6: you have Brazil being added to the slate this regular season.

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 6: So this is the way all sports are going in

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 6: college football being one of the most enormous sports brands

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 6: in our country, college football and Dublin, Ireland have sort

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 6: of become synonymous early in the season.

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: And so yeah, it's a little weird.

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 6: That it isn't what Dame but but college football out

57
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 6: in Ireland.

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: That's starting to make sense.

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the fifth game that will be played

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: at this stadium. I believe there's been a couple of

61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: other games at other stadiums, but this is a Viva

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: stadium in Dublin. I remember watching this game. This game

63
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: the same the Notre Dame Navy game was played on

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: this field last year. I remember I was, you know,

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: got my binoculars. I was trying to find is there

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 4: any field condition issues? It looked okay last year, Brian,

67
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: I don't know if you recall anything, but it didn't

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: look like field conditions were an issue, right. I think

69
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 4: the weather, obviously is always something that plays a factor,

70
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: but it doesn't look like the forecast is that bad. Today.

71
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: Didn't have a competitive game last year. I think we'll

72
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: get some kind of semblance of a competitive game at

73
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: least to start. Georgia Tech's offense is legit, like they

74
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: could score some points. Their defense is a whole nother story.

75
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: But this Florida State offense is what I'm really interested in. Right,

76
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: they lost a ton, I mean they lost pretty much everybody,

77
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: like basically every single player in the skill position group,

78
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: including the quarterback Jordan Travis. So we'll see what dju

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: has right coming in from Morgan State, this will be

80
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: his third program in three years. I trust Mike Norvell.

81
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: I think he's a fantastic coach. The question is can

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: he kind of get all the pieces to fit together

83
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: in a very early season game where the stakes are

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: a little higher for him than I think some of

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: the other games taking place today. Like this is the

86
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: game today, it's the shortest spread of any of the

87
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: of the four games involving FBS teams. It appears to

88
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: be the most competitive game. It's an acc game, so

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: it has a little more juice to it than your

90
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: average week zero game, and it's gonna be exciting. Obviously,

91
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 4: just getting call trouble back is exciting. But of course

92
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 4: this matchup I think offers just enough intrigue to wet

93
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: our whistle heading into weeks zero.

94
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this is a lot of fun, especially considering

95
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 6: the big storyline Brian that Florida State is still smarting

96
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 6: from being left out of a Final four last Well.

97
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say last year the Notre Dame game.

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 5: I remember Sam Hartman, the Notre Dame quarterback, and at

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: the end of the game, he's like, I got this.

100
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: It was like a shelale or something I forget.

101
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 5: He's like, I got this from Is it the King

102
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: Ireland or the Prince?

103
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: He looked very official. I don't know who the hell

104
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: this guy is, but he gave us. It was so funny.

105
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, but uh yeah, this game where I'm really really

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: interested to see what Djui as I call him, looks

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 5: like in a new offense another team. Gosh, he's been

108
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 5: well traveled, right it was Clemson and then Oregon State, right,

109
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 5: do I have that right?

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: Yeah? It was great last year. Yeah, he just inconsistent,

111
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: I think, but he had some good numbers. Yeah.

112
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 5: Now at Florida State and man dj Ui sometimes he's

113
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 5: been DJF you know, but against this Georgia Tech defense

114
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: man last season, they gave up two hundred and twenty

115
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 5: one rushing yards per game out that was one hundred

116
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 5: and twenty eighth among FBS teams.

117
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not good.

118
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 5: And so that's the thing is. We'll get into the

119
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 5: props a little bit later. But you look at BETMGM.

120
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 5: I'm looking at Djui and two hundred and twenty five

121
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 5: and a half passing yards.

122
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: I think they're just gonna be running the ball and

123
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: he will.

124
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, he must have looked at my notes here, Brian.

125
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well listen, DJU is the type of player

126
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 6: where some games he looks like a world beater, and

127
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 6: some games against better defenses, he can struggle. I remember

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 6: going up to Oregon State and watching DJU against the

129
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 6: San Diego State Aztecs defense, and they did well against him.

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: You know.

131
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 6: They they limited some of the things that he wanted

132
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 6: to do, especially some of the stuff outside the pocket.

133
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 6: If you can contain him, if you can almost crunch

134
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: the pocket down on him, he'll get happy feet. Sometimes

135
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 6: he'll make some poor decisions. He threw two picks in

136
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 6: that game. He was fourteen of thirty in that game,

137
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: so a little bit inconsistent there. They really really leaned

138
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 6: on his rushing abilities and the Oregon State Beavers run

139
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 6: game in general to get that victory, and you look

140
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 6: at the scoreboard, it was lopsided. Oregon State Beatdaztecs twenty

141
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: six to nine. But I just remember watching him in person.

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong, He's a compensatory athlete, so like

143
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 6: when he doesn't feel like it's happening through the air,

144
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 6: he'll start beating you with his legs, and that's exactly

145
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 6: what happened in that game. But there are ways to

146
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 6: limit the damage he could do to you through the air. Now,

147
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 6: I think I think going to Florida State now against

148
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech today, I do think that Florida State has

149
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 6: the better quarterback. And I also think that this run

150
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 6: game for Florida State, the seminole run game going against

151
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech's defense, it's a new defense over there on

152
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 6: that side of the ball. So you would give advantage

153
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 6: offensively to Florida State in this opener for the college

154
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 6: football season.

155
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: But we'll see.

156
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 6: Look these road games, especially international road games, for both

157
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 6: of these teams, they can be difficult because it's it's

158
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 6: difficult to get your footing set at the beginning of

159
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 6: any season. So the team with better comfort at opening

160
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: kickoffer or feeling more settled in. That's the teams that's

161
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 6: gonna have the most early success in this one.

162
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, who handles the pitch, who handles the outside elements?

163
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: A little bit more with this game than other games.

164
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: But it's funny because I was going through this Florida

165
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: State offense from last year, and I mean, yeah, it

166
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: just stuts all over everywhere. Johnny Wilson keon Coleman Benson

167
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 4: at running back. I think the kid that came in

168
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: from Bama, Royda Williams is going to be a star.

169
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 4: He will most likely be the belcow. That's another guy

170
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: to keep on your prop radar for today. The running

171
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 4: back for Florida State. I think Georgia Tech's offense, and

172
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 4: we'll get to it a little bit in the parlay platter.

173
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: I think Georgia Tech's offense, if they can handle what

174
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: Rich just said, I think will have some success. Haynes

175
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: King can move a little bit. He's inconsistent, he throws

176
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: a lot of picks that volatility, but this is a

177
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: very very good offense. Brent Kee is a very good

178
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 4: offensive coach. He was a former offensive lineman the Georgia

179
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: Tech offensive line pretty much returning everybody was very good

180
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: last year, one of the only offensive lines in the

181
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 4: country top ten and both run push and sack rate metrics.

182
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: So this is an again underrated Georgia Tech offense. Awful,

183
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: defense absolutely atrocious. They have to make improvements there. But

184
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: when you're talking about an early season game, it's interesting

185
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 4: do you show and we'll talk. I'm very fascinated your thoughts,

186
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: especially you're rich when it comes to the early season

187
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: college football, played college football.

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,479
Speaker 3: College.

189
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: Why should I even be here because I want to

190
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: know what the coaches are saying on the field, like

191
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: do you show something early here? Because there's not a

192
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: bit advantage based on what I'm seeing of playing in

193
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: week zero. The week zero teams tend to do very

194
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 4: poorly in week one actually, And do you show early,

195
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: like do you show your good stuff here in week

196
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 4: zero or do you just you save that for later?

197
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: So I don't know if we're gonna see the best

198
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: today for either offense. But I'm fascinating to see how

199
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: Georgia Sex offense comes out because they can get you

200
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: up a little bit.

201
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, those are competing thoughts, and I will say the

202
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 6: majority of coaches early in the season, if you could

203
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: keep it vanilla and still get wins, you'd prefer to

204
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 6: do that, because you know down the line there are

205
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 6: going to be moments of the season where you're gonna

206
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 6: need to reach deep down into the bag and you're

207
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 6: gonna have to pull something out like the Philly Special.

208
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, Like, yeah, do you get

209
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: that one deep?

210
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you can.

211
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 6: You can win super Bowls, you could win championship games

212
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 6: off of one play that you haven't unveiled. And so

213
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 6: we we know what that looks like. We've seen it before.

214
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 6: It's it's the uh the Statue of Liberty play that

215
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 6: Boise State pulled off in the Fiesta bullet. It happens

216
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 6: at the professional level, it happens at the college football level.

217
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 6: And so No, to answer your question, I don't think

218
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 6: we're gonna see if. If Florida State and by the way,

219
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech both can prevent it from happening where they

220
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 6: have to do too much to win this game, they're

221
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 6: going to prevent that from happen.

222
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Brian, I want to hear your thoughts too.

223
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 5: You know, I don't believe you if You're just trying

224
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: to make me feel better all.

225

Speaker 3: Over the week.

226

Speaker 4: Zero gas bag.

227
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 5: I'm expecting you know how well, we're kind of like

228
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 5: pass the baton, you know, like it's the four by

229
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 5: one hundred meter relay or something. I'm just expecting. When

230
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 5: it's my turn, You're like, you know, let Rich talk

266
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 5: throw this at you guys. So Aaron Rodgers is not

267
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 5: playing in the preseason and I think it's interesting because

268
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 5: their Week one opponent, the forty nine ers, their main

269
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 5: guys were playing last night. You saw Brock Purty out there,

270
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 5: you saw Deebo Samuel out there, you saw George Kittle

271
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 5: out there among others, and it's like, no, Aaron Rodgers,

272
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 5: He's coming off the Achilles injury, and it just seems

273
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 5: like there's there's a chorus, you know, and all the

274
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 5: voices are like right decision thumbs, you can't risk it it.

275
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: Am I the only one that says, why not get

276
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 5: them out.

277
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: There for a series or two.

278
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 5: You're gonna just go into Week one on the road

279
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: against the Niners and expect it to mesh and expect

280
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 5: there to be chemistry. And I also find it weird

281
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 5: where this has been a very hard training camp. This

282
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 5: is something that Aaron Rodgers talked about this week.

283
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: Check it out.

284
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 8: I would say the camp is much harder this year,

285
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 8: and maybe the hardest in the last seven or eight

286
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 8: in my career. I knew that had a little insight

287
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 8: coming into camp. That's what Robert wanted to do, so

288
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 8: I think it's been good for us.

289
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 5: Okay, so hard training camp is something that the head

290
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 5: coach Robert Sala also talked about this week.

291
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 9: We're not trying to revisit the Junction Boys, but at

292
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 9: the same time, this country club style that's kind of

293
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 9: taking on all of sport, not just football, but all

294
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 9: of sport.

295
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: There's a fine line.

296
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 9: They've got to be ready to play football.

297
00:14:59,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

298
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,479
Speaker 5: So that's what's strange to me is this is hardcore

299
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 5: Jets trading cat let's.

300
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: Go knocking heads over here.

301
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 5: Ah, the preseason injuries, it's too scary.

302
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: It's just odd to me.

303
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: And I'm not gonna say the season's gonna crumble, but

304
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 5: you get no playing time in the preseason for Aaron

305
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: Rodgers and everybody else, and you're expecting it to look

306
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: like a well oiled machine come Week one. When the

307
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: Niners like brock Perty's seventeen and four as a starter

308
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: with the Niners, he's four and two in the playoffs,

309
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 5: and he's out there with the ones last night, and

310
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 5: the Jets are like, nep too risky.

311
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: I don't like it.

312
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 5: And I seem to be the only one who's not

313
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 5: like just saluting this decision, like you can't risk it.

314
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: I say, there's another side to it.

315
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 5: You gotta look like you've got chemistry out there, are

316
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: you gonna take a week one?

317
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: L And I think the Jets are a prime candidate

318
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: to do just that. I get what you're saying.

319
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 6: But at the same token, if Aaron Rodgers reinjures himself

320
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 6: in a preseason game and he's out for any length

321
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: of time for the New York Jets, Robert Sala may

322
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 6: not be the head coach before he gets back from injury.

323
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: That's the reality of the situation.

324
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 6: So I think what Robert Sala did is the only

325
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 6: thing he could do being in his situation, Because again,

326
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 6: you're looking at it pragmatically from a standpoint of like

327
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 6: football overall, and I don't disagree with your assertion that

328
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 6: when other teams are putting their starters out there, we

329
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 6: should too, because you never want to fall behind the

330
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 6: eight ball from that standpoint, But when you start thinking

331
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 6: about football as being managed and run by actual people

332
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 6: who have jobs on the line, if Robert Sala loses

333
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 6: his starting quarterback that's his only hope to keeping his job,

334
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 6: then he's going to be viewed as careless, reckless, etc.

335
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: Why was he out there at all?

336
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 6: All of his decision making is going to be re litigated,

337
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 6: and like I said, if it's an eight week injury,

338
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 6: you know, if he hurts his shoulder on a hard sack,

339
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 6: you know, shoot, if he just trips over one of

340
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 6: his offensive lineman's foot and it's a freak thing where

341
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 6: all of a sudden he strains the toe and he's

342
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 6: dealing with turf toe for the rest of the season,

343
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 6: And you know, he comes back six weeks later, but

344
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 6: he's not the same Aaron Rodgers because he isn't moving

345
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 6: quite as crisply crisply, and they lose some games as

346
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 6: a result. Robert Sala could be fired before he even

347
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 6: returns to the lineup. So I think there's a little

348
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 6: bit of job security that's being weighed and measured into

349
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 6: this decision making process.

350
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: So this feels like when I am trying to decide

351
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: when I'm undecided on a bet. Here's my process for

352
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 4: figuring out if I'm going to pull the trigger and

353
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 4: hit the submit button. Will I be more mad if

354
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 4: the bet wins and I didn't make it, Or will

355
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 4: I be more mad if I make the bet and

356
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 4: it loses. Do you put Rogers out there and he

357
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 4: loses something? You make the bet and it loses he

358
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 4: injures it does it? Will I be more upset about that?

359
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 4: Or will I be more upset if I don't make

360
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 4: the bet and I sit Rogers on the sidelines and

361
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: then we come out Week one and we look like

362
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: absolute terrible, like just the bottom barrel basement. The Niners

363
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 4: are running circles around us, and there's behind the eight

364
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 4: ball to start the year. I think in this situation,

365
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: I would be more mad if Rogers if something happened

366
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: to Rogers in the preseason. Like, to me, that's the

367
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 4: lesser of two evils, is to get my butt kicked

368
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 4: week one, but at least he's playing in Week one,

369
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 4: which really wasn't the case. Last year. We got one series,

370
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 4: not even not even the full series. I think last

371
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 4: week I said it was it felt like Christmas got

372
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: canceled and we have to wait until next year. Like

373
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: to me, that is the is the worst case scenario.

374
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: Whereas going out and getting my butt kicked week one

375
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 4: because I wasn't ready to play because I maybe didn't

376
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: get as many preseason reps. I can stomach that, at

377
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 4: least as from a Jets perspective, maybe from the outsider's perspective,

378
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 4: we look at it differently. But if I'm the Jets,

379
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 4: I've got my quarterback in week two, which is a

380
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: which is a step forward than what we had last year.

381
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I hear what you guys are saying.

382
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 5: But I will just say in response, scared money, don't

383
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 5: make money. And this is all it is with the

384
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 5: Jets is what if we could play that game in

385
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 5: training camp? Is like what if Aaron Rodgers trips over

386
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 5: his left guard and then you can't put him in

387
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 5: bubble wrap and just say don't don't touch the field

388
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 5: Rogers until.

389
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: Week you could, but he's he's not gonna be sharp.

390
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: It looks like you're trying to do that.

391
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: Again defending NFC champions.

392
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 5: Like I don't know why we're acting like a preseason

393
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 5: game is like the defensive lineman all have RPGs like

394
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 5: it's Blackhawk down or something like that.

395
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: Land minds everywhere. No, no, no, but I will I

396
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: will say this.

397
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: So say an offensive lineman just goes the wrong way

398
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 6: on a play. You know, here's the wrong play in

399
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 6: the huddle, and all of a sudden it's a jail

400
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 6: break and you have a defensive lineman screaming up the

401
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 6: middle of the offensive formation. Now at practice, like you

402
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 6: were saying, yes, anything can happen at practice, but in

403
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 6: a situation where and these things happen during games maybe

404
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 6: once twice a game, yea where a guy completely misses

405
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 6: an assignment and all of a sudden you have a

406
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 6: free shot at the quarterback. Sometimes the quarterback gets the ballway,

407
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 6: sometimes he takes a hit and then all of a sudden,

408
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 6: that defensive lineman gets to him in this game, this

409
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 6: last and final preseason game, and smokes Aaron Rodgers, and

410
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 6: he lands on that collarbone that he's injured in the past,

411
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 6: and then boom, he's out for eight weeks. Whereas that practice,

412
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 6: having him practice, he's wearing a red jersey. Everybody on

413
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 6: the field knows, even if you have a free shot

414
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 6: at the quarterback, if you touch Aaron Rodgers, you're gonna

415
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 6: be on the next thing smoking out of town. So

416
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 6: you are not going to wrap him up and bring

417
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 6: him to the ground. You're gonna you're probably not even

418
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 6: gonna tag off on him.

419
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: Probably.

420
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 6: The rule is if you get within a two yard

421
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 6: bubble of Aaron Rodgers, you may get a fine in

422
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 6: your locker the next day.

423
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: So that's the difference. Brian.

424
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 6: I understand everything you're saying, and I agree with it

425
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 6: from an overarching Hey, this is football scared money, don't

426
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 6: make no money. That makes sense to me. Trust me

427
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 6: when I tell you I agree with you. But from

428
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 6: this particular standpoint, it's like everything you said makes sense

429
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 6: except for this particular standpoint. Aaron Rodgers doesn't need the reps.

430
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 6: He's going to be fine, or by the way, he's

431
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 6: not gonna get any better if he appears in any

432
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 6: preseason games. Maybe certain players will be more comfortable playing

433
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 6: with him when the live action comes.

434
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: But but Aaron, he's gonna be okay.

435
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: Now, in terms of the potentiality of an injury that

436
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 6: could have a staggering effect on how you start the

437
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: season or your season in total, there's a risk there,

438
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 6: and so mitigating that risk, to me, feels like the

439
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 6: only thing the guy in charge, Robert Salah, can do

440
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 6: at this point to mitigate to mitigate the most risk

441
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 6: by not having him play. If he sends him out

442
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 6: there and he gets him injured, I think he would

443
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 6: probably end up losing his job because there would be

444
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 6: voices inside of that building saying, hey, you shouldn't do that.

445
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: Hey, why are we doing that?

446
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 6: And if he did it anyways, well then all of

447
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 6: a sudden you're rebuking you know, some of the the

448
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 6: the thoughts of the people in the building. Uh, to

449
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 6: do it your own way? And for what for a

450
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 6: game that doesn't matter. So again, getting back to the

451
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 6: human native, the human decision making of football, I think

452
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 6: this is the only choice that could have been made.

453
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 4: Brian, You are one hundred percent right. Scared money does

454
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 4: not make money. Here's the problem, though. The Jets are

455
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 4: scared money. They are scared out of their mind because

456
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 4: of what happened last year, and I think that is

457
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 4: affecting their decision. Like if the Rogers injury doesn't happened

458
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 4: last year the way that it does, I'm willing to

459
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 4: bet that he plays at least a series or two

460
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 4: in this preseason. But it's just it is scared money,

461
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: like they are petrified of something happening, something freakish. And

462
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: that is coming from a fan who has been with

463
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: this team since Keith Byer's fumbled at the goal line

464
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 4: in the ninety eight A. It's a championship game, I

465
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 4: can tell you there's something freakish that is going to

466
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: happen in the NFL. Odds are the Jets are going

467
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: to be involved. But fumble this and Keith Byers fumble that.

468
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 4: It just it seems like it just keeps rearing its

469
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 4: ugly you know what, towards this team. So yeah, this

470
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: is scared money. Like, this is a scared money decision

471
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 4: that the Jets made, and I think because of the

472
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 4: factors that Rich is alluding to, they can live with it.

473
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: Man, I am loading up on Niners first quarter nine.

474
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 4: Oh, that's pretty cool that numbers come down a lot

475
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 4: over the last day or two. I think maybe there's

476
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: some rumblings maybe Brandon and you gets traded.

477
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: Maybe, Yeah, I don't know about that. Still still loading

478
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 3: up even if BA isn't out there.

479
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 5: Last thing I'll say is this real quick is I

480
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 5: would love to know how the top coaches, or all

481
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 5: of the coaches for that matter in the NFL the

482
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 5: rest of them would have handled this decision if it

483
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 5: were their decision. You know, if this is Andy Reid's decision.

484
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes is out there, he's a three time Super

485
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 5: Bowl champion already, Andy, and he's out there in the

486
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 5: preseason right like you're seeing a lot of the main

487
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: guys out there. I think Andy Reid, even with the

488
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 5: same scenario Rogers had four s naps last season. I

489
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 5: think he's out there for a series or two. I

490
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 5: think he's looking at it like the Niners were out

491
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 5: there last night, and we're not gonna have our guy

492
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 5: out there.

493
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: And we're gonna expect to be as sharp. But you're talking.

494
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 5: I know, I get it, I get it, ye right,

495
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 5: But that's the thing with Robert Salah is bro like,

496
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 5: it's not just about you, it's about the squad. And

497
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 5: I know that he's thinking about both. But you're right, Rich,

498
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 5: I think he's thinking a lot about himself, like we

499
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 5: can't we can't have that.

500
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: It's it's like negative thinking.

501
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: Of yeah, it just had the Jets.

502
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: That's the job, man. You're not gonna get anywhere with that.

503
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: You're right, And that's also the Jets.

504
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 6: You nailed it, though it is it is a little

505
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 6: bit of a selfish decision. I really do think it is.

506
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 6: And I think I think if if Rogers was playing

507
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 6: for the Chiefs, if he was playing for the Niners,

508
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 6: if he was playing for even the Ravens, right, because

509
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 6: Harbaugh's got.

510
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 3: Job security, Harball.

511
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, exactly because he could do it everybody.

512
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 6: He can't do any wrong yet he has won or

513
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 6: lost any games. So yeah, when you have job security,

514
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 6: you feel secure in any decision you make, even if

515
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 6: you're going against maybe some of the popular beliefs in

516
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 6: the building.

517
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 3: I guarantee you.

518
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 6: Robert Salah took a temperature of every single person's opinion

519
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 6: around him, and that helped him formulate his decision because

520
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 6: he was like, whatever we do with Rogers, one thing

521
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 6: I know, considering how thin the ice underneath me is,

522
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 6: I'm not going to ruffle too many feathers with this decision.

523
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 6: So I'll ask Rogers, but I'll also ask my GM,

524
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 6: I'll ask all of his lieutenants, I'll ask my assistant coaches,

525
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 6: I'll talk to the owner, and we'll.

526
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: All come to a consensus agreement.

527
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 6: So we're all going to wear the cone of shame

528
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 6: if this doesn't work out the right way.

529
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 3: Because he wants to keep his job. It's good to

530
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 3: be the king.

531
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 6: He may not be the king if Rogers isn't available,

532
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 6: and I think everybody knows that.

533
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: So he's gonna sit him for the preseason.

534
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 6: In the first action we'll see is going to be

535
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 6: against the forty nine ers on the road, and this

536
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 6: time he's praying that that Achilles holds up.

537
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, give us more than a series, please, That's all

538
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: I ask. Can we get more than one series this

539
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: year with this guy I'm playing.

540
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: I don't think if he gets hurt series too.

541
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 5: You're like, it's like progress.

542
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, additional series over.

543
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 4: Here, put him in the Hall of Fame. We got

544
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 4: two series, all right.

545
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: We're hoping for a many, many series from this guy

Speaker 10: fastest in Major League history to reach the forty to

558
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 10: forty club padre shout out the Mets seven to nothing.

559
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 10: Joe Musgrove allowed one hit and struck out nine and

560
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 10: seven innings. In Dan Wilson's debut as the manager of

561
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 10: the Seattle Mariners, they defeated the San Francisco Giants in

00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 11: Finally in the NFL.

568
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 10: Among the games later today, the Los Angeles Chargers visiting

569
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 10: the Dallas Cowboys and at the Chargers team hotel. On

570
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 10: Friday night, fifteen Chargers players and staff members got stuck

571
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 10: in an elevator. The elevator got stuck in what is

572
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 10: known as a blind shaft, in which the top of

573
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 10: the elevator car is at least ten feet below the

574
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 10: closest door opening. The Dallas Urban Search and Rescue Team

575
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 10: had to be deployed and had to help everyone out

576
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 10: through the elevator's ceiling panel. Now rich I realized this

577
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 10: might be a delicate subject, but during your playing days,

578
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 10: in a matchup between you and an elevator ceiling panel,

579
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 10: who wins back to you?

580
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 11: Guys?

581
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, thank you thanky lo.

582
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 5: It is Fox Sports Radios to kick Off, presented by

583
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 5: bet MGM all season long. Bet MGM's offering you a

584
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: second chance on your first TD bet. When a customer

585
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: places a wager on a first touchdown scorer bet and

586
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 5: he does not score first, but score second, bet MGM

587
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 5: will return one of their stake back in cash.

588
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

589
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 5: I just pictured the NCUBLEA with that elevator story for

590
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 5: the Chargers going that is.

591
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: Tell me, tell me Harbaugh was on that elevator. Come on,

592
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: tell me he was on it.

593
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 5: Just tell me he was right, come on, they punished it.

594
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 5: He's not even in college football anymore. But uh yeah,

595
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 5: wild story. And then something else. I Lo mentioned Otani,

596
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 5: freaking Otani. This guy man, This is how it sounded

597
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 5: on Spectrum Sports and at La Joe Davis on the

598
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 5: final call.

599
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: This was amazing.

600
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: First Bitch ser Field series going back, he's at the truck,

601
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: he's at the wall.

602
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 5: That guy man like he had a stolen base and

603
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 5: a home run to get to exactly forty forty on

604
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 5: the season, and Dave Roberts, the Dodgers manager, he said

605
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 5: it after the game, He's like to get a stolen

606
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 5: base and a walk off grand Slam to reach forty forty.

607
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 5: That's unbelievable. That's like a movie where you walk out

608
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 5: like this is dumb. Yeah, it really happened in life.

609
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 5: And he's got a shot for the fifty to fifty club,

610
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 5: which hasn't even been close to being approached in Major

611
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: League Baseball history. Fastest to get to forty forty. The

612
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 5: guy is phenomenal. And this is all after elbow surgery. Yeah, right,

613
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 5: Like he's just crushing it. That guy is just unbelievable.

614
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: He is. He's the best baseball player ever.

615
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 6: I was thinking about it last night, and I understand

616
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 6: we have to contextualize every single part of that commentary,

617
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 6: but if you really start looking at what he's been

618
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 6: able to accomplish and also some of the things that

619
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 6: he's had to overcomadi being an international player, having this

620
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 6: situation that could have completely derailed his season this year

621
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 6: with his interpreter lying and cheating and stealing from him.

622
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 6: All of the attention that we paid to the early

623
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 6: career injuries when he got over here from Japan to

624
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball, and then even this could have been

625
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 6: used as an excuse what you just said, Brian, the

626
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 6: fact that he had elbow surgery in the offseason. This

627
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 6: guy isn't even implementing one of the strongest part of

628
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 6: his game, which is from the mound, and he's doing this.

629
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 6: He is the most sensational baseball player we've ever seen,

630
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 6: and it's a gift to be able to watch him

631
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 6: have these career moments. Because not only was it a

632
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 6: stolen base and a walk off grand Slam homer to

633
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 6: get into the forty forty club, that was also his

634
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 6: first ever walk off home run. He did it in

635
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 6: that kind of heroic fashion. The guy never shrinks away

636
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 6: from any moment. Otani's the best.

637
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. So I was thinking about this last night too,

638
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 4: and I tweeted that I'm just grateful to be alive

639
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: in the prime.

640
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sure of.

641
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 4: Not only show Hey, but also Aaron Judge, who hit

642
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 4: his forty ninth home run yesterday on pace for sixty two.

643
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 4: That number is important in Yankees' lore, obviously being one

644
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 4: more than than what Maris had in that very impressive season,

645
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 4: but I think there's just there's just so many things

646
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: to love about this story in baseball. I think this

647
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: season in baseball has been unique. Of course, I'm very

648
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: you know, engaged in the nerfees in the in the

649
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: run scoring, especially early in games. But run scoring is

650
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 4: down across baseball this year.

651
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: Yep.

652
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 4: Yet sho hey Otani and Aaron Judge are both having

653
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 4: these historic seasons. It really puts it in perspective. You

654
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 4: have to reframe your mind because we have been desensitized

655
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 4: to home runs because of the steroid era. We don't

656
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 4: view it as this amazing accomplishment anymore to hit all

657
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 4: these home runs and hit the ball really far. But

658
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: we have to reframe our minds a little bit because

659
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: recently it hasn't been that era. We've seen run scoring

660
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 4: and power decrease, especially this season. So for them to

661
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: have these types of years, we have to kind of

662
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: trick our brains into being amazed by it because it

663
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 4: really is. And the other thing to keep in mind,

664
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 4: and this is something with baseball that I think, well

665
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 4: will never change, but it's also a reason why the

666
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: stars don't always have as much gravitas. You can pitch

667
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: around players in baseball, you can neutralize the stars in

668
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 4: baseball more than any other sport. You can't do that

669
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 4: in the NBA. You can't do that in the NFL

670
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 4: with a star quarterback. You can kind of do it

671
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: with a star receiver, but at some point that guy

672
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 4: is gonna make a play. They are gonna get the

673
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: ball to him. In Major League Baseball, if you don't

674
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 4: want to face a guy, don't take your base like.

675
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 4: You don't even have to pitch to him. You can

676
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: pitch around him, you can do the unintentional intentional walk.

677
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: But what they're doing this year is defying all of that,

678
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 4: and they are having just it is truly remarkable. We

679
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 4: really do need to take a step back and just

680
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 4: appreciate the greatness of not only Otani but also Aaron

681
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 4: Judge this season.

682
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just thinking, you're big on the ear

683
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 5: fees and nerfees. I wonder if we're gonna have the

684
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 5: oer fee right the Otani run scored in the first,

685
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 5: that's a great bet.

686
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 3: What do you mean, might have to implement that in there.

687
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 5: And I'll just add super fast is I think we're

688
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 5: we're finally starting to get away from the steroid era.

689
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 3: What meaning. It's a shame that Judge has it.

690
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 5: When you said that Jared, he's got a chance to

691
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 5: get the sixty two, I wish that still meant what

692
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 5: it once did.

693
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

694
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 5: But yep, we've got seventy three from Bonds in seventy

695
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 5: from Choir and Sammy Sosa hit over sixty two home

696
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 5: runs in three different seasons, you know what I mean.

697
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 5: It's a shame that this Aaron Judge, like March to

698
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 5: sixty two.

699
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 3: It would be so huge if.

700
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 5: Not for the steroid era. That's the shame in the

701
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 5: whole thing. But you're right, absolutely, the marvels that are

702
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge and Otani. I hope Otani gets to fifty

703
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 5: to fifty bad. I think that would be sensational. And

704
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 5: I wonder if we're gonna hear any any whispers or

705
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 5: murmurs next year if he's pitching and he's not in

706
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 5: the fifty to fifty club of man, if he just

707
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 5: focused on hitting right.

708
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 4: Like, keep him out of the spring training games, that'll

709
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 4: do it, right.

710
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: Just call a Robert Solid. Keep him out of every bench.

711
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: He's not even going to play the first half of

712
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: the season. That's right.

713
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 5: It's risk as the nation is struggling with rising expenses.

745
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 5: Okay, mister Jared Smith, you've been in the lab working hard.

746
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 5: There is smoke billowing out of that facility right there.

747
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 5: What do you have for us this morning?

748
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 4: We are back, same game, parlays are back, props are back,

749
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 4: College football is back. We're gonna put it all together,

750
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 4: mash it all up together. I don't know if you

751
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: guys Thanksgiving dinner, I like to put all my food

752
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 4: together and make a little schmorgsborger. But that's what we're

753
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 4: gonna do here with Georgia Tech and Florida State. Of course,

754
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 4: this game starts in about two hours. Let's start with

755
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 4: a prop, and of all the props today, we'll get

756
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 4: to some more props later in the show. This is

757
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 4: the one I think I like the best, and it's

758
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 4: DJU at plus money to find the end zone. Again,

759
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: he's a bowling ball in the backfield. When they get

760
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 4: close to the goal line. You're gonna hear Roido Williams's name,

761
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 4: but I think you're gonna hear Dju's name as well.

762
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 4: I'm a little bit lower on his passing numbers today.

763
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: I think running the ball is where dj will have

764
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: some success. Georgia Tech's defense was brutal last year against

765
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 4: the run, and it's a great plus money bet on

766
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 4: its own DJU to find the end zone. Florida State.

767
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 4: I don't think this is going to be a high

768
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 4: powered offense this year. I think this is gonna be

769
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: a little bit more conservative of an attack, especially early

770
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 4: as they're working in these new pieces. But again, we

771
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 4: are fading the Georgia Tech defense which has been brutal.

772
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 4: So let's take Florida State to score seventeen or more

773
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 4: in the first half, which is less than half of

774
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 4: what the number is for the full game, and then

775
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 4: for the full game, let's bet them to get to

776
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 4: thirty points. I think Florida State thirty feels like a

777
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 4: safe number for their scoring output today. And then finally,

778
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 4: I think Georgia Tech's offense has a little wiggle here.

779
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 4: I don't think they're gonna like the scoreboard up either,

780
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 4: because I think offenses in general are going to be

781
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 4: a little bit tapered this week. But Georgia Tech getting

782
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 4: to fourteen points one touchdown in each half feels very attainable,

783
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 4: buying about almost a full touchdown off of their full

784
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: game total. So we got dju to find the end zone.

785
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 4: We got Florida State to score seventeen or more in

786
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 4: the first half to score thirty or more for the

787
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: full game. Again, those are very correlated bets. And then

788
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 4: Georgia Tech over thirteen and a half points for the

789
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 4: full game. You put all this together at bet MGM

790
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 4: plus three sixty. Not our juiciest parlay. We'll get some

791
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 4: more juicy ones down the road when we get some

792
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 4: of these underdogs in there. But I feel very confident

793
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: that we are gonna have a little bit of offense,

794
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 4: just enough to get us over the finish line here.

795
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: I like it.

796
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 6: This game has become offensive like we are looking at

797
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 6: a time in college football where style points are needed.

798
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 6: They're desired, they're wanted, they're necessary, they're requisite to make

799
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 6: this now even expanded field the playoff. If there's one

800
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 6: thing Florida State's not gonna do is leave any points

801
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 6: on the field. They're gonna score all of them because

802
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 6: they do not want to get left out in the

803
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 6: cold again. And so it doesn't matter who you're playing,

804
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 6: whether it's Georgia Tech and Dublin or you know, if

805
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 6: you're playing in the conference championship game, if you could

806
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 6: just just stick your thumb over your opponent one last

807
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 6: time garbage points, it doesn't matter.

808
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 3: They all actually I should say they all matter. So

809
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

810
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 6: I think taking the over on a lot of offensive

811
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 6: stats this year for the Seminoles is probably a good idea.

812
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 5: I think with both quarterbacks who are prone to mistakes,

813
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 5: I think this can help your bet, Jared. And I'm

814
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 5: sure it's something that you factored in there where Haines

815
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 5: King had fifteen interceptions last year, Like let's say Haines

816
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 5: King turns the ball over in Georgia Tech territory and

817
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 5: Florida State's even closer to scoring like or vice versa

818
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 5: with DJU. So yeah, shaky quarterback play can actually be

819
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 5: your friend in an older like this.

820
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 4: Sometimes sloppy games do go over.

821
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 5: Absolutely all right, come it up next. This is so

822
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 5: unbelievably weak. We'll give you the details coming up.

823
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 3: Oh, what's going on? Happy Saturday to you.

824
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 5: We are less than two hours away from kickoff.

825
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: It is a beautiful thing.

826
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 5: Florida State and Georgia Tech getting it on in Ireland.

827
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 5: More college football on our minds though this story My goodness,

828
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 5: coach Prime Deon Sanders at Colorado. So the story is

829
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 5: here that Deon Sanders in Colorado will no longer take

830
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 5: questions from a local columnist.

831
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 3: This is Sean Keeler.

832
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 5: He writes for the Denver Post and Colorado says, there

833
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 5: have been some personal attacks with what this guy has

834
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 5: been writing about Deon Sanders in the program. He's used

835
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 5: such phrases as deposition, dion, false prophet, the Bruce Lee

836
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 5: of BS, which.

837
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 3: Is so pretty good.

838
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 5: L and make sure you're sitting down for this. This

839
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 5: cuts deep circus. I know, man, that is more than

840
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 5: enough reason to freeze a guy out.

841
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 3: Stop. Let me collect myself before you get everything you

842
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 3: just said.

843
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 6: I feel ho coach Prime. Coach Prime.

844
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 3: By the way, does he still go by that Moniker? Oh,

845
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't know. But

846
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 3: thoughts and prayers.

847
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 5: Though after this little segment here, Yeah, Dion Sanders, he

848
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 5: does have specific language in his contract that requires him

849
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 5: to speak with quote mutually agreed upon media good boy.

850
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 5: So it's only who I want to talk to. Listen,

851
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 5: Dion was like this at media day. This is on

852
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 5: August ninth, And if he didn't want to talk to you.

853
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 3: He just wouldn't. And I think this is just so.

854
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 5: Incredibly weak, because here's the bigger picture. You're the example

855
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 5: for your team, you know, and you're teaching a lesson

856
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 5: as if in real life you have the block function

857
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 5: on Twitter with people that you don't get a lotong

858
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 5: with or that you dislike or you think are bad

859
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 5: mouthing you.

860
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't work like that. Man.

861
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 5: You can't just do that with a coworker that you're

862
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 5: having challenges with. You've got to navigate around stuff all

863
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 5: throughout your life. And you're setting this false formula in

864
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 5: motion for there are guys that are gonna be in

865
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 5: the NFL you're teaching your son Shador or Travis Hunter

866
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 5: that if you dislike or don't get along with a

867
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 5: columnist who's bad mouthing, you could just not answer his

868
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 5: questions or her questions.

869
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't work like that.

870
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 5: I think this is so thin skin, This is so

871
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 5: weak to freeze a guy out because he dislike a

872
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 5: few of the things that he's written.

873
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 3: It's so lame, it really is.

874
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 6: And to your point, I think it sets the wrong

875
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 6: message to your locker room, to your players. Football is

876
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 6: a tough sport. Tough minded individuals usually have success. That

877
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 6: doesn't mean that everyone who's tough is going to have success,

878
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 6: and it doesn't mean that everybody who's successful is going

879
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 6: to be tough. This is what I'll say this. I

880
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 6: thought Dion Sanders was tougher. I really did. Because that

881
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 6: is weak minded, That is kind of immature. That is

882
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 6: kind of the antithesis of what it seems that he

883
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 6: preaches about the style of football he wants to play

884
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 6: and the type of men he's raising in that program.

885
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 6: Because remember, even though these are professional athletes now capitalizing

886
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 6: on their name, image and likeness, a lot of these

887
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 6: guys they are days or months or just weeks out

888
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 6: from sleeping in their childhood bed. Okay, these guys are

889
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 6: our days or months or weeks out from being grounded

890
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 6: by their parents for the last time or having the

891
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 6: keys taken away because they were out past curfew. I mean,

892
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 6: so you are a part of the maturation process of

893
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 6: these young people who are going to be pillars of communities.

894
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 6: I mean, how many athletes I played with over the

895
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 6: course of my playing career in my life ended up

896
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 6: becoming politicians or leaders of industry, or people who role

897
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 6: models who people look up to. I think this is

898
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 6: the wrong approach. I think there are so many other

899
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 6: ways that they could have handled this, And as far

900
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 6: as the publicly facing storyline behind it, I think he

901
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 6: should be embarrassed.

902
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 4: So I think both of you nailed those takes. I

903
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 4: don't have anything to add except that Dion has a

904
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 4: history of this. In twenty twenty one, he did the

905
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 4: same exact thing at Jackson State to a reporter from

906
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 4: the Clarion Ledger who he got upset that they published

907
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 4: a story related to a court filing about a recruit

908
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 4: and how he did something bad in a prior you

909
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 4: know situation, and then you know Jackson State was recruiting him,

910
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 4: and that reporter was questioning the recruiting process and questioning

911
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 4: bringing in the player, and Dean did the exact same thing.

912
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 4: They barred this reporter. I don't know for the entire season,

913
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 4: but they definitely took some action. Again, it's giving him access.

914
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 4: Right access is everything to these reporters. The only other

915
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 4: thing I'll add is my own personal perspective on it.

916
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 4: I'm not in the public spotlight like Deon Sanders is.

917
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that I am. But over the last

918
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 4: two years doing this show, becoming part of the gambling

919
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 4: media boom, I have been thrust a lot more into

920
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 4: the public spotlight. Obviously, there's been some positives about that.

921
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of negatives. I have never faced

922
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 4: criticism publicly like I have faced over the last two

923
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 4: years for bets that I give out opinions that I have.

924
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 4: But you have to be aware that if you are

925
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 4: spending your entire day, which for the most part I do,

926
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: analyzing other players, criticizing other teams for their decisions that

927
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: they make with players, you have to be okay with

928
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 4: taking that same criticism. You have to be if you

929
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 4: are Deon Sanders, and you are making a splash. You

930
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 4: are a disruptor in college football. You have to be

931
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 4: okay with both sides of that. Positive you're disrupting, you're changing,

932
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 4: you're trailblazing, and negative you're going to take criticism. It

933
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 4: is going. It is inevitable for someone in his position,

934
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 4: and to shy away from it. The one adjustment I've

935
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 4: made in my career is I've hugged the problem. I've

936
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 4: leaned into it. I've become aware of it. I have,

937
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 4: you know, not changed my core values. But you make

938
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 4: adjustments based off of criticism, just like other analysis that

939
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 4: you get from other positive people in your life. So

940
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 4: you just have to be aware of it. And one

941
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 4: hundred percent this is the wrong thing to do is

942
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 4: to block the problem. I prefer to hug it, lean

943
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: into it, and try to fix it. And that is

944
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 4: not what happened here with Deon Sanders.

945
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 3: Right, And that's the weird thing to me, is like

946
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 3: if Dion.

947
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 5: Was never a player, especially like a star player, and

948
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 5: there have been many critical things said and written about

949
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 5: Dion during his playing days, and Dion Sanders was the

950
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 5: type of player that was like, okay, he would take

951
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 5: a lot of things personally. Remember with Tim McCarver. Where

952
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 5: in the locker room when he was with the Atlanta Braves,

953
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 5: He's like, where's macarver at? And he grabbed some It

954
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 5: was like a bucket of water and he threw it

955
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 5: on McCarver. And he's been thin skinned a lot. But

956
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 5: as a player, he'd be like, Okay, watch what I do, right.

957
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 5: I don't think you would freeze a guy out and

958
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 5: not talk to him. He'd be like, okay, I'm gonna

959
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 5: make you eat your words. Why is it different as

960
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 5: a coach? I mean really like he should just make

961
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 5: this local columnist eat his words with what Colorado does

962
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 5: on the football field. But it's a different approach. This

963
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 5: goes back to August ninth. This was one of the

964
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 5: exchanges he had with a local CBS reporter.

965
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: Listen to this. It's such a joke.

966
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 2: Eric Kristensen with CBS Sports Colorado Tyler.

967
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 12: I'm not doing none with CB's next question. It's above

968
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 12: that you got none to do with you. I love

969
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 12: for you, I appreciate respect you, and got none to

970
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 12: do with you.

971
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 2: They know what they did. I'm here in Denver, not national.

972
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 12: You are who you are CBS to CBS, all right,

973
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 12: I respect you. I just why I told you I'm

974
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 12: looking at you and now I as a man, I respect,

975
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 12: I got love for you.

976
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 2: But what they did was found.

977
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 5: Okay, So we don't even know what he was upset

978
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 5: about with CBS. There might have been a column where

979
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 5: Dion was ranked the second worst head coach in the

980
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 5: Big twelve. Maybe that was it, but Dion Sanders is like, yeah,

981
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 5: just CBS, I'm out on that altogether.

982
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, I'd like to take that to.

983
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 5: The extreme where what if I don't know, Tony Romo

984
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 5: wanted to do a sit down interview and he.

985
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 3: Was like that CBS can't do that.

986
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 5: Nope, nope, totally out on anything CBS related.

987
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 3: No, Jim Nance, don't even approach me. It's the local guys,

988
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 3: some dude completely.

989
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 5: It's ridiculous, man, It's just it's such a weak approach.

990
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 5: I thought Rich nailed it where he's like, I thought

991
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 5: Deon was tougher than this. Yeah, that's exactly what I

992
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 5: think too. It's like, bro, you're this thin skinned. I mean,

993
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,760
Speaker 5: that's dude, and not who I want as a head coach.

994
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 5: I mean, what do you expect from the program. If

995
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 5: you are that thin skin, you gotta be able to

996
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 5: take criticism, especially at a major college football institution.

997
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 3: We are we doing here.

998
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 6: Also, what you're teaching your team, your players is, you know,

999
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 6: gump chin and sticktuitiveness and intestinal fortitude. When tough times come,

1000
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 6: how do you handle adversity? That is one of the

1001
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 6: biggest parts of football is the obstacles that lay.

1002
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,280
Speaker 3: In your path overcoming them.

1003
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 6: So with Dion doing this, what the message it sends

1004
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 6: to is his locker room is when times get tough, Yeah,

1005
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 6: just just roll over and use an excuse not to

1006
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 6: deal with those tough times and hope they go away.

1007
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 3: Pull the covers up over your head, you know. So, No,

1008
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk to CBS. Know what they did. Hey,

1009
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 3: columnists from the Denver.

1010
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 6: Fort Fort Post, whatever newspaper or magazine. This columnist who's

1011
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 6: been barred to cover the team any longer works for Hey,

1012
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 6: we don't wanna. We don't want to talk to you

1013
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 6: anymore because you say mean things. Okay, well, how about this.

1014
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 6: If Colorado has a season record wise that mimics last season,

1015
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 6: what are these players gonna do when time gets tough.

1016
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 6: Are they gonna hang in there for Dion Sanders? Are

1017
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 6: they gonna go chase nil money elsewhere in the big

1018
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 6: twelve or or what's left of.

1019
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 3: The back twelve if there is a pack.

1020
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 6: Twelve left anywhere the big ten, the sec you know,

1021
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like, this is the type

1022
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 6: of stuff this echoes and reverberates. I promise you this

1023
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 6: isn't the only place where this thin skinned attitude is

1024
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 6: availing itself. Because this is this is a personality trope.

1025
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 6: This is something that echoes throughout your life. It's not

1026
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 6: just gonna be relegated to this one where it's just

1027
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 6: just these two guys are the only two brush ups

1028
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 6: he's had where somebody says something a little bit, you know,

1029
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 6: out of pocket, and all of a sudden he's writing

1030
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 6: them off.

1031
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 3: How many players have felt that way? You know what

1032
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

1033
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 4: Let's be honest. This is what they do in Russia, Like,

1034
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 4: this is what they do in the countries where they

1035
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 4: don't want free press, Like they just silence the critics

1036
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 4: and it just again, you might not like what they're saying,

1037
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 4: but you have to have context for both sides of

1038
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 4: the argument. Both sides of the argument are valid and

1039
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 4: they need to be heard, and then you, as as

1040
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 4: the consumer of the media, could make your decision. Now,

1041
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 4: is it fair to also say that this reporter probably

1042
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 4: is never going to write anything positive about Colorado. Yeah,

1043
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 4: and it's fair to ask why that's taking place, because

1044
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 4: there are negative stories that need to be reported, but

1045
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 4: you can't overlook the positive just to attack the negative.

1046
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 4: And I think that's where the other side of this

1047
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 4: argument also needs to be stated. I don't know the

1048
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 4: history of this reporter. I don't know if he's got

1049
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 4: a beef with Colorado or if they stiffed him in

1050
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 4: the past, or if he doesn't like Dion. But fair

1051
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 4: reporting is just as important as Dion allowing the fair reporting.

1052
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 4: So both sides of this. But obviously in this situation,

1053
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 4: you can't silence the critics. You have to let the

1054
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 4: critics speak, and then if they're just saying ridiculous things,

1055
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 4: then you have to, you know, make adjustments off of that.

1056
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 4: But yeah, this is this is not a good look

1057
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 4: for for for Prime.

1058
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 5: I wonder what the questions are gonna be like after

1059
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 5: a bad loss by Colorado.

1060
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 4: You know, he's not gonna be any reporters in the room.

1061
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 5: They're gonna be yeah, yeah know, they just don't show

1062
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 5: up against Arizona. They lose by three touchdowns or what

1063
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 5: have you. And the questions are just like, but coach Prime,

1064
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 5: in the second quarter, you had a little uh you know,

1065
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 5: someone asked about Aflac.

1066
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 4: That was one of the questions that was asked.

1067
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, a spokesperson.

1068
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 4: So again, that's the part about it, like we can't

1069
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 4: have Mickey mouse media either, Like we've got to have

1070
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 4: fair on both sides. It has to be positive negative

1071
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 4: and we can't be asking silly questions like Aflac.

1072
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 6: Nick Saban speaking of Aflack was a whiner. He was

1073
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 6: a whiner. There were times where he got to the

1074
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 6: podium and he whined about how his team was being covered.

1075
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 3: Right.

1076
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 6: He would be like, this is rat poison what you

1077
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 6: guys are saying. And he would call out certain members

1078
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 6: of the media occasionally. He never barred anybody knowledge, you know,

1079
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 6: he never just fought back. Yeah, he just fought back.

1080
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 6: He used his bully pulpit sometimes to an advantage. But

1081
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 6: but he told you know, okay, uh Milrow his quarterback. Okay,

1082
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 6: you remember when the hashtag let the naysayers know when viral.

1083
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 3: Because of the college, you gotta really hover on that.

1084
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 6: Okay, so so, but but that's the attitude that's instilled

1085
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 6: by Nick Saban, right, that's the attitude that's instilled at

1086
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 6: that Alabama culture. It's like, we're going to change all

1087
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 6: their minds. They could say whatever they want about the

1088
00:54:59,000 --> 00:54:59,720
Speaker 6: wrong culture.

1089
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah that's right, that's right. They could stay whatever they.

1090
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 6: Want on the outside, but we know and we're gonna

1091
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 6: change their minds. What Dean Sanders saying is if they're

1092
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 6: gonna say naughty, bad things about us, we're gonna pull

1093
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 6: our covers up to our eyebrows and we're gonna pretend

1094
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 6: like like like nobody can say anything nasty about us.

1095
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 6: How about fight back? How about play better football? That's

1096
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 6: how you change minds and hearts.

1097
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 4: That's for me, the right message.

1098
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 5: But that's the question is whichever team you root for,

1099
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 5: would you want your head coach doing the same thing?

1100
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 5: And the answer is hell, no, No, I don't want

1101
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 5: is ah.

1102
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 4: It's just like it also doesn't fly in any other

1103
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 4: place except college because the college programs have so much

1104
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 4: power over who gets access. It's ridiculous.

1105
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.

1133
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 5: You know it's funny. As a fan, I know which

1134
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 5: game you're looking most forward to today. It's got to

1135
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 5: be a ranked team against Georgia Tech. But as a

1136
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 5: better huh, that's a different question. As a better, which

1137
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 5: game are you most looking forward to today?

1138
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 13: Hey guys, going to be back and all right, just

1139
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 13: jumping right in. Okay, alright, so my eyes looking towards Atlanta,

1140
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 13: Georgia do the Swack meac Challenge game. Florida A and

1141
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 13: M in Norfolk State. I really like Florida A and M.

1142
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 13: I'm saying minus thirteen and a half at most shops

1143
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 13: right now, I think I play this number up to

1144
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 13: about seventeen. Florida A and M coming off a great year.

1145
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 13: They lose a lot of talent from last year, but

1146
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 13: they introduce you know, we're talking upwards of almost twenty

1147
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 13: FBS transfers to that team. Meanwhile, Norfolk State, while they

1148
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 13: do have some continuity, they weren't that great last year

1149
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 13: as like three and eight. So Norfolk State they're probably

1150
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 13: gonna improved this year, I think, but I don't think

1151
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 13: they keep this within two touchdowns.

1152
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 4: That's why I love shamu is we get the special

1153
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 4: right out of the game. I remember I was texting

1154
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 4: him yesterday and he's like, already got wired and got

1155
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 4: something circled, but we're waiting on a line. So Florida

1156
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 4: A and M minus thirteen and a half.

1157
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 3: That is the coolest thing I've ever heard.

1158
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 4: The shame is specialist back baby. All right, let's get

1159
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 4: to this Georgia Tech Florida's State game. Because I was

1160
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 4: messaging you back and forth the AFRED yesterday, it does

1161
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 4: seem like the popular pick seems to be the Knowles

1162
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 4: and the sharper side seems to be Tech. Does that

1163
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 4: mean Florida State's going by twenty? Who knows. The game

1164
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 4: has to be played, but from your perspect if, it

1165
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 4: does seem like Florida State is getting a pretty significant

1166
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 4: portion of the handle here at this early stage.

1167
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, coming into the week, it was really fifty to

1168
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 13: fifty split on the money. But the sharper side is

1169
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 13: definitely Georgia Tech. We opened this earlier in the summer

1170
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 13: at plus thirteen and a half and we're already down

1171
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 13: to plus ten and a half on the line right

1172
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 13: now and today the public's definitely coming in on Florida

1173
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,919
Speaker 13: State minus ten and a half, but that number's still

1174
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 13: not budget. We're still sitting there at ten and a

1175
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 13: half total. Really hasn't moved it all from fifty five

1176
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 13: and a half. And you know, Florida State definitely going

1177
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 13: to be in everyone's parlays today, yep, on the money line.

1178
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 6: When we're looking at the NFL preseason, I know we're

1179
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 6: looking ahead, it's countdown to kickoff, we have college football.

1180
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 6: But how much action are we seeing on preseason in

1181
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 6: the NFL?

1182
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 13: Now?

1183
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 6: Has that ramped up a great deal recently with obviously

1184
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 6: the peripherlationa proliferation of sports books going online and things

1185
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 6: of that nature, or are people still just chomping at

1186
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 6: the bit for the regular season or is the preseason

1187
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 6: worthy of of dollars spent at the window?

1188
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 13: I think it's nat to say that we haven't seen

1189
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 13: an increase in preseason betting, you know, like you said,

1190
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 13: the more sports betting is expanding and getting more popular,

1191
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 13: whether it's on social media or like take places like

1192
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 13: ESPN or FS one. People are betting the preseason. It's

1193
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 13: all about news. People are really tuned into you know,

1194
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 13: who's playing, who's going to be playing, how many snaps,

1195
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 13: who's sitting. So definitely sigmore action, and I think it's

1196
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 13: a great opportunity for some people who are trying to

1197
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 13: get into, you know, trying to beat the number. This

1198
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 13: is a great opportunity to try and do so, especially

1199
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 13: earlier in the week when more team news is coming out.

1200
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 5: He's Seamous McGee from bet MGM joining us here on

1201
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 5: countdown to kickoff. You know, it's always interesting to me, Seamus,

1202
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 5: where it's so different than the NFL when you see

1203
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 5: a point spread that's forty and a half, you know

1204
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 5: what I mean, Delaware State in Hawaii. What is your

1205
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 5: process like when you see like an SMU Nevada point

1206
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 5: spread that's twenty seven and a half, and that's so

1207
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 5: drastically different than the NFL. How what's your general approach

1208
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 5: when you go handicapping those type of lines.

1209
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 13: It's just so many schools, there's so many players that

1210
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 13: play Division one college football, there's going to be these

1211
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 13: big gaps and talent, especially in games like Hawaii and

1212
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 13: Delaware State too. Like, it's pretty surprising to see a

1213
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 13: school like that go all the way up to Hawaii

1214
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 13: this early in the season. But I mean it's we

1215
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 13: treat it the same as any other thing that we handicap.

1216
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 13: You know, we see where the market is, we make

1217
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 13: an opinion on it, we hang a number, we take that.

1218
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny because one of the first conversations I

1219
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 4: have with a book maker in this industry when I

1220
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 4: broke in, I was asking, Hey, what's the toughest sport

1221
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 4: to book? And he said, the early season college basketball

1222
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 4: games keep me up at night. And this is kind

1223
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 4: of the same approach, like good luck naming one player

1224
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 4: on State, good luck maybe one player on Hawaii. Yet

1225
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 4: you've got to hang a number, and you've got to

1226
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 4: let the market decide, and it's usually the sharp players,

1227
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 4: I think, right, Shamus, that kind of guide you when

1228
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 4: you get these crazy games with one team that's up

1229
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 4: here and the other team that's down there. You do

1230
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 4: your best to put the number up, and then you

1231
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 4: move it really fast when you start to.

1232
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 13: Get that action exactly, especially when you look at you know,

1233
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 13: I just brought up a team like Florida and m

1234
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 13: They had to bring in a bunch of transfers. They

1235
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 13: might be very talented, but that offense has to click

1236
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 13: week one. Defense has to be bought in week sorry,

1237
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 13: week zero rather, and so we got a you know,

1238
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 13: it's it's just like college basketball. How many minutes are

1239
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 13: these guys going to play? Where did they play last year?

1240
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 13: How are they going to fit on this team?

1241
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 6: It's just like that Seamus you know, based on that

1242
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 6: NFL preseason question, kind of the same question for college

1243
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 6: football during week zero or even week one, where it's

1244
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 6: the first action, do you feel like betters have an

1245
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 6: edge on the books if they follow the team closely

1246
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 6: As a result of what Yared was talking about, because

1247
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 6: so many new faces on a lot of these teams,

1248
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 6: some of these teams have upward of sixty new players

1249
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 6: into their program because of the transfer portal and player movement,

1250
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 6: because of nil and all the things that we know,

1251
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 6: is it easier for a better to have an edge

1252
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 6: this time of year? As opposed to say Week four

1253
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 6: of the regular season.

1254
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 13: Certainly, this is the time you definitely want to try

1255
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 13: to beat the number is early in the season. This

1256
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 13: is where the game of cat and mouse comes to

1257
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 13: play between the bookmaker and the better where we got

1258
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 13: to try to stay on top of information as much

1259
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 13: as the betters do. So I think definitely this is

1260
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 13: the time of year you can have an advantage over

1261
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 13: the opts maker because there's so much uncertainty that comes

1262
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 13: into play earlier in the year, you.

1263
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 5: Know, Seamus, I was just thinking before you go. Jared

1264
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 5: just said this, good luck naming a team, naming a

1265
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 5: player on Hawaii or Delaware State, And I.

1266
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 3: Was just thinking about that.

1267
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 5: Do you at least need to know the nickname of

1268
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 5: the team on them?

1269
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 3: Is that a prerequisite or no? In your book?

1270
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 13: Absolutely not. I mean I'm just a three books all

1271
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 13: these and sixty five college basketball teams, but absolutely not.

1272
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 13: I'm betting League two English soccer right now. Yeah, I

1273
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 13: can tell you a player on any of the team.

1274
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 4: The only thing I can tell you about Delaware State

1275
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 4: is that the state of Delaware has no sales tax.

1276
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 4: That's where my knowledge of Delaware ends.

1277
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 3: Go go Hornets.

1278
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 6: Hey, yeah, you know you feel better about yourself, you know,

1279
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 6: just quick google searcher.

01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 5: Well, hey Seamus, we're glad that ball is back and

1319
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 10: teams have bat boys for the last thirteen years, the

1320
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:40,800

Speaker 10: Bat dog got a little too excited for its debut.

1324
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 10: Instead of retreating the bat, the dog ran wildly all

1325
01:06:55,840 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 10: over the field, punctuating it by relieving itself on the

1326
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 10: infield grass. And how can I put this delicately in

1327
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 10: the scorebook, It went as two on a shuck to

1328

01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean boy, I sid it was in the

1330
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 5: grass though, right like it wasn't on the pictures mound

01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 5: interesting spot?

1349
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 3: Jackpot is relieved himself.

1350
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 4: You know, do you remember the one of the first

1351
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:15,479
Speaker 4: weeks we did the show.

1352
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah, he.

1353
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 4: Looked me right in the eyes. This is right during

1354
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 4: the rapid Fire segment. He looked me right in the

1355
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 4: eyes and was like, I'm sorry, bro, this is happening

1356
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 4: right now. We did Actually it wasn't during rapid Fire.

1357
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 4: I think it was in the second hour. I did

1358
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 4: a whole hour of the show with just really bad

1359
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 4: things like defecating itself right near me. Oh man, So yeah,

1360
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 4: in this apartment there has been incidents.

1361
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1362
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 5: It makes me think of one of my buddies, mister

1363
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 5: freaking Zanchelli, one of my guys in Albany, and his

1364
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 5: dog Odell. You know, he's a big Giants fan, so

1365
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,879
Speaker 5: his dog named his dog's name is Odell. But anytime

1366
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 5: Odell would go to the bonos in his place.

1367
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 3: He'd go what did you do? What did you do?

1368
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 3: And this dog would just be like, I'm I know,

1369
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 3: I suld oh, so I'm sorry father.

1370
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 5: Right, Okay, So not great news for a couple of

1371
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 5: NFL teams at the quarterback position. So this is, first off,

1372
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 5: the Browns. I mean, it's fitting with what we've just

1373
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 5: been talking about. But the Browns they have an issue

1374
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 5: with Deshaun watson arm soreness this week, been held out

1375
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 5: of practice a couple of times. Kevin Stefanski, the head coach,

1376
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 5: says he's not overly concerned. If I'm a Browns fan

1377
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 5: and they say, hey, Deshaun Watson has a hangnail.

1378
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my gosh, what more can go wrong?

1379
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 5: He's played in twelve of a possible thirty five games

1380
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 5: since joining the Browns, and a lot of that was

1381
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 5: the suspension, which we knew was going to happen.

1382
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 3: But twelve games out.

1383
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 5: Of thirty five, a lot of that was last year

1384
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 5: being banged up, you know. So that's the first first

1385
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 5: part of it. And you look at the lack of

1386
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 5: production with the Browns. Deshaun Watson has thrown fourteen touchdown

1387
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 5: passes in nine interceptions for two hundred and thirty million

1388
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 5: dollars guaranteed. So something to keep your eye on with

1389
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,759
Speaker 5: the arm soreness. The other story was Colts quarterback Anthony

1390
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 5: Richardson didn't exactly crush it against the Bengals in the

1391
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 5: preseason game or during joint practices during the week. There

1392
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 5: was a report by James Boyd of The Athletic where

1393
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 5: in the joint practice the Bengals.

1394
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 3: Are talking trash. Right.

1395
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 5: You had Bengals cornerback cam Taylor britt and he was like, is.

1396
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 3: That all he does is run? Is what he said.

1397
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1398
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 5: The defensive tackle bj hill yell at Richardson throw the ball,

1399
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:48,839
Speaker 5: bro and then he threw an interception, and Bengals safety

1400
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 5: Geno Stone was saying, he just he's just throwing the spots.

1401
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 3: He doesn't even see his receivers.

1402
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 5: And then he went out there a rich did in

1403
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 5: the preseason game and errant throws just not on target.

1404
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 5: Not a good look.

1405
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 4: Man.

1406
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 5: Here's the quick thing I want to say is there's

1407
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 5: such a laser focus and fascination with the upside with

1408
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 5: certain quarterbacks. Oh the upside the ceiling, right, It's like, dude,

1409
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 5: there's a downside and there's the floor as well. There

1410
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 5: are a couple of quarterbacks where there are gonna be

1411
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 5: a lot of growing things. With Anthony Richardson, who didn't

1412
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 5: play a lot in college, who only threw eighty four

1413
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 5: passes last year with the Colts, and you're seeing that man,

1414
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 5: you can't be inaccurate with the football, can't do it.

1415
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what.

1416
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 4: He is right now.

1417
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, because those are mistakes. Those are considered mistakes at

1418
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 6: the NFL level. At the collegiate level, you will excuse

1419
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 6: certain errant throws because if you're an electric enough athlete,

1420
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 6: you can make up.

1421
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 3: For a lot of that with your legs.

1422
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 6: And also the defenses aren't as good, so you can

1423
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 6: miss the spot and still get still convert completions. Not

1424
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 6: in the you miss your spot, it's going the other

1425
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 6: way for six. That's how that game works because the

1426
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 6: margin ferrera is so slim. You know, when you look

1427
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 6: at what you just said, Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith, Jimmy Garoppolo,

1428
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 6: you know, to a greater or lesser extent, Dak Prescott,

1429
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 6: you can be a middle tier quarterback or a second

1430
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 6: tier quarterback and have a long and great career and

1431
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 6: make a ton of money. And the reason why dependability

1432
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 6: and the ability to lead a team and to read

1433
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 6: a defense and complete throws and be clutch when the

1434
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 6: moment calls for you to be clutch. Those are important factors.

1435
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 6: Joe Flacco last year emerged as one of the better

1436
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 6: quarterbacks down the stretch of the season. Why because of

1437
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:46,799
Speaker 6: all those things I just said, dependability, mistake, free football.

1438
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,560
Speaker 6: That's how the Browns ended up playing into the postseason

1439
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 6: because he helped lead the way. And oddly enough, guess

1440
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 6: who's backing up Anthony Richardson this year Joe Flacco. So

1441
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be completely shocked if this lack of.

1442
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 3: Confidence in his arm continues.

1443
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 6: If he struggles out the gate with confidence backing you up,

1444
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 6: we could see a re emergence of Flacco. And oddly

1445
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 6: you brought off both of the teams that he most

1446
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 6: recently played for, because he went from the Browns where

1447
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 6: he was filling in for an injured Deshaun Watson, you

1448
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 6: know after you know, four other quarterbacks got the call

1449
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 6: as well before Flacco to the Colts. So yeah, I'm

1450
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 6: very curious to see what happens with the Browns and Deshaun,

1451
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 6: but almost more so with Anthony Richardson because he was

1452
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 6: a high round draft pick last year and it doesn't

1453
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:37,759
Speaker 6: sound like it's going well.

1454
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very barish on the Browns because of Watson.

1455
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 4: The contract is absurd. It's literally an albatross, and he

1456
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 4: has yet to produce a positive efficiency rating in any

1457
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 4: of his time season long efficiency rating with his time

1458
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 4: with Cleveland sixteen total touchdowns in two years. In twenty

1459
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 4: twenty three alone, twenty three quarter eclipsed sixteen touchdowns, and

1460
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 4: that's how many he's had combined total in his tenure,

1461
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 4: if you want to even call it that with Cleveland.

1462
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 4: In addition to whatever soreness or injuries or inefficiencies he's shown,

1463
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 4: he has to also learn a new offense, a very

1464
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 4: up tempo kind of run and gun style offense. Ken Dorsey,

1465
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 4: of course, last year with the Bills comes in. He's

1466
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 4: the new oc here in Cleveland. They like to throw

1467
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 4: the football. Nobody threw it more deep, more deeply, Nobody

1468
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 4: threw it deeper speak Jared than Buffalo did last year Cleveland.

1469
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 4: Cleveland also was a deep was a deep ball team

1470
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 4: last year. And now they get Dorsey, Who's gonna, you know,

1471
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 4: open up this offense even more so? What are the

1472
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 4: two worst things that you could possibly have at quarterback

1473
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 4: when you've got an offensive coordinator that wants to push

1474
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 4: the ball down the field, arm strength, well, arm soreness already,

1475
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 4: you know, popping up here on the injury list. We're

1476
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 4: not even in a week one yet. And decision making

1477
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 4: because if you make a bad disci throwing the ball

1478
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 4: down the field, that free safety's coming over and he's

1479
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 4: gonna act like it's a punt and fair catch it

1480
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 4: for an interception. So you just you've got to clean

1481
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 4: up these things at the quarterback position, because, let's be honest, guys,

1482
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco last year proved if you're even average at

1483
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,799
Speaker 4: quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, you're gonna make the playoffs.

1484
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 4: That's all good. The defense is.

1485
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 5: That's the voice of Jared Smith FSR betting analyst whose

Speaker 2: Prop it Up plays.

1517
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 5: Ah, Yes, Paul is back. The prop bets are back

1518
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 5: as well. Jared we'll start with you. What do you

1519
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 5: have circled today?

1520
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked about it earlier, Brian, I'm probably pretty

1521
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 4: sure you're gonna be on the same page. But Dju

1522
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 4: under two thirty and a half passing yards. I saw

1523
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,759
Speaker 4: two twenty five out there. I'd go under that number

1524
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 4: as well. So he's gone under two thirty and a

1525
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 4: half in twenty eight of thirty seven career games. For

1526
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 4: his career, he's averaging less than two hundred yards passing

1527
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 4: per game. I don't think Florida State has any incentive

1528
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 4: to show much this week. Granted they're not as big

1529
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 4: of a favorite as some of the other FBS teams

1530
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 4: playing today, but they should be able to handle this

1531
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 4: game without giving you the full complement of weapons, in

1532
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 4: the full complement of offensive firepower here. And also they're

1533
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 4: replacing a lot red receiver. I mean, go look in

1534
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 4: the draft and what Florida State did in terms of

1535
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 4: their receiving group, a lot of new faces. It might

1536
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 4: take some time to Jael. I think this is going

1537
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 4: to be more of a running game, So we'll go

1538
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 4: under two thirty and a half for DJU.

1539
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 6: All right, I'm looking at the other side of this

1540
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 6: matchup Georgia tech side specifically one player in the running game,

1541
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 6: Jamal Haynes, who returns for the Yellow Jackets. If you

1542
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 6: look at his stats from twenty twenty three, throwing him.

1543
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 3: The football is not a big part of the game.

1544
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 6: He only had twenty receptions last year for just over

1545
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty yards. So I'm gonna take the

1546
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 6: under on the one and a half receptions for Haynes

1547
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 6: and the under on the thirteen and a half receiving yards.

1548
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 3: He'll get his on the ground.

1549
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 6: He averages over six yards per carry in twenty twenty

1550
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:28,799
Speaker 6: three for.

1551
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 3: The Yellow Jackets.

1552
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 6: He's a little ball of dynamite, but he doesn't have

1553
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 6: great hands, so they don't trust him in the passing

1554
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 6: game all that much. So again under one and a

1555
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 6: half receptions and under thirteen and a half receiving yards

1556
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:40,799
Speaker 6: for Jamal Haynes.

1557
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you, Jared, not that I'm not with you, Rich,

1558
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 5: but I had the same thing. Has circled with dj

1559
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 5: Oui under to twenty five and a half at bet MGM.

1560
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 5: I also like an over here Lawrence to aphee lea

1561
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 5: listen man forty and a half rushing yards that is

1562
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 5: really low. And I know, listen, there are a lot

1563
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 5: of really solid running backs for Florida State. Especially a

1564
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 5: game like this against Georgia Tech. It's gonna be a

1565
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 5: share the wealth type game. You're not gonna have just

1566
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 5: bell Cow, but Toafeely he's gonna be their main guy.

1567
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 3: And ask yourself this, how many carries would it take

1568
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 3: him to get to over forty and a half rushing yards.

1569
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna take that many because Georgia

1570
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 5: Tech's rush defense was freaking brutal last season. I don't

1571
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 5: see them making great strides. So I will hop on

1572
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 5: the over forty and a half for Toea Feely as

1573
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 5: well as the under and passing yards with DJU.

1574
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 3: Jared, what was the stat you said?

1575
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 5: I know you said under in twenty eight of thirty

1576
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 5: seven games career wise for DJU, But what was the

1577
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 5: threshold passing yards?

1578
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 4: The average one ninety five per game. I mean, this

1579
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 4: is not a quarterback that they've relied on at any

1580
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 4: stop to be this, you know, spread it out running

1581
01:19:58,400 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 4: gun passer. I think the offense gonna be a lot

1582
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 4: different this year. Roy De Williams's numbers hovering in the

1583
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 4: high sixties. I got sixty eight and a half. I

1584
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 4: think there's a seventy probably out there. This is, of course,

1585
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 4: the other running back for Florida State. In Georgia Tech.

1586
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 4: They allowed the fourth most rushing yards in the country

1587
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 4: last year. And Williams gets five yards of carry, gets

1588
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 4: fifteen carries, he should easily get the seventy yards on

1589
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 4: the dead.

1590
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, we're just gonna parlay all this stuff together.

1591
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

1592
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 2: It sounds good to me.

1593
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 3: I didn't have to dug you guys into anything. Ready

1594
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 3: to go? All right?

1595
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 5: Coming up next, I need just one minute of your

1596
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 5: time to whine.

1597
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 3: Oh, happy Saturday to you.

1598
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 5: We are less than one hour away from kickoff number

1599
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 5: ten Florida State against Georgia Tech. Paul is back, baby.

1600
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 5: We're all excited. But here's the thing, guys, I just

1601
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 5: need one minute. Okay, I want to cap myself because

1602
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 5: I could go on for thirteen minutes.

1603
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 4: Easy, take a breath, bud on safe space.

1604
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 5: Okay, we know it's weeks zero. Okay week. You know

1605
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 5: day of the week is spelled w E E K. Right,

1606
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 5: I spell week zero w e A K because this

1607
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 5: slate is freaking trash over you are you kidding me?

1608
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 3: Every single year? Why does college football do this? Why?

1609
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 3: Why do you start off with dog matchups? Now?

1610
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 5: Listen, Florida State against Georgia Tech is at least okay,

1611
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 5: that's an okay matchup.

1612
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 3: But the rest of the slate, guys, we got like

1613
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 3: FCS teams, We got Nevada.

1614
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 5: Nevada is in like its own window in primetime against

1615
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 5: same Why can't we do better than this? The NFL

1616
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 5: would never do something like this. This would be I

1617
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 5: try to think of the NFL equivalent of this Florida

1618
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 5: State Georgia Tech game, which is at least okay, that's

1619
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:53,959
Speaker 5: an okay matchup.

1620
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 3: And listen, I get it.

1621
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 5: We are starving for ball, or like we're starving for

1622
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 5: a meal and someone handed us like stale ramen noodles

1623
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 5: and we're.

1624
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 3: Like, any take it.

1625
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 2: We'll tell you anything good.

1626
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 3: We need something in my system.

1627
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 5: But what would be the NFL equivalent of Florida State

1628
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:13,560
Speaker 5: Georgia Tech? I said, it'd be something like a borderline

1629
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 5: top ten NFL team, say like the Browns against What

1630
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 5: would a Georgia Tech be? Like an average no juice Jaguars,

1631
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,839
Speaker 5: Maybe the Jags, or that's a good one. Brown's Jacks,

1632
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 5: welcome back. The NFL is here. No, they give us

1633
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 5: Ravens Chiefs right out of the gate.

1634
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 3: Why can't college football, dude?

1635
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 5: Why why not rant over? I know we're excited for ball.

1636
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 5: I don't want to pooh pooh the party over here,

1637
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 5: but man, can we not do better than this?

1638
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 3: It would be like.

1639
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 6: Who was just on the outside looking in last year's

1640
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,759
Speaker 6: playoff season in the NFL, like the Colts. The Colts

1641
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 6: came down the wire. It would be like the Colts

1642
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 6: versus I don't know, then to kick off the season

1643
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:04,679
Speaker 6: like kind of a kind of like one of those

1644
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 6: bottom dwelling teams in their division versus a team that

1645
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 6: was just out on. Look, there's interest in Georgia Tech.

1646
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:15,560
Speaker 6: I'm with you there. Florida State just miss the playoffs,

1647
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 6: so we have storylines and like you said, we're desperate

1648
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 6: for action. But I agree, I think college football does

1649
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 6: itself a disservice in a lot of different ways at times. Overall,

1650
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 6: I like the product obviously, I think that they get

1651
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 6: a lot right. But compared to the NFL, who appears

1652
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 6: to dominate and lean into every moment, it feels like

1653
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 6: other sports leagues struggle with this.

1654
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 3: I would be on the horn.

1655
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 6: I'd be burning up the phone lines offering all sorts

1656
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 6: of incentives to schools that are willing to put themselves

1657
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 6: out there and play on week zero to make this

1658
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 6: the seminal event, because it really does, at least for now,

1659
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 6: peer like the NFL is getting out of the way

1660
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 6: for weeks zero or week one of the college football season.

1661
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 3: So if you play your card right, if.

1662
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:08,520
Speaker 6: You aim for that preseason bye week, you could dominate

1663
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 6: at least for one week over an NFL weekend.

1664
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 4: You know, so you're not excited for that Delaware State

1665
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 4: Hawaii game at midnight Eastern later tonight. No one's really

1666
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 4: jacked up for that. By the way, I was gonna

1667
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 4: give out the under fifty five and a half in

1668
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:24,559
Speaker 4: that game. A little later, it's down to fifty three

1669
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 4: and a half.

1670
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:26,639
Speaker 3: Now, I hate when that happens.

1671
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 4: I know it happens all the time. But here's the thing.

1672
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,599
Speaker 4: Here's my theory, and you guys are right. The other

1673
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 4: sports besides the NFL suck at this. Major League Baseball

1674
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 4: is the worst. They open their season in Korea during

1675
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 4: March Madness in the cover of darkness. It was like

1676
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 4: nobody knew. But you look at what these teams are

1677
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 4: and you talk about the length of the season for

1678
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 4: college football, and it is I know it's not as

1679
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 4: long as the NFL, but it's long. And these kids,

1680
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 4: they get tired, they have a lot, and they're basically teenagers.

1681
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 4: My theory is week zero offers no upside for a

1682
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 4: team to go all in, and I have data to

1683
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 4: back this up. Over the last two seasons, teams that

1684
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 4: play in Week zero are five and thirteen against the

1685
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 4: spread when they play in Week one against the team

1686
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 4: that hasn't played yet. And we've talked about this before

1687
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 4: because conventional wisdom says, oh, you get that game under

1688
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 4: your belt early, you get lathered up, you're ready to

1689
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 4: go for Week one. But no, you know why because

1690
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 4: all the Week one coaches that aren't playing today, they're

1691
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 4: on their couch with their notepad and they are watching

1692
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:47,480
Speaker 4: everything you do in week zero. There is no advantage

1693
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 4: to playing in week zero and showing your hand early

1694
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 4: and allowing the coaches that aren't playing this week, which

1695
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 4: are many, to collect all of this extra information. And

1696
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 4: let's be honest, week zero not a number so this

1697
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 4: week really doesn't exist, and I don't think there's any

1698
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 4: incentive for these coaches to book these high profile games

1699
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 4: in this week.

1700
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 3: I hear you.

1701
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,679
Speaker 5: But we could go back and look closer at those

1702
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 5: numbers and who were the teams that played in Week zero?

1703
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 3: Might not have been that great, just like I don't

1704
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 3: know today's slight, you.

1705
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying, Like, like, I'll give you an example.

1706
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 5: Next week, Week one, Clemson takes on Georgia.

1707
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 4: Let's go.

1708
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:32,799
Speaker 5: That's a game, okay, that's number fourteen against number one.

1709
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 5: Even next Sunday night, USC against LSU, that's a game, okay.

1710
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 5: Like if those teams are playing in week zero, if

1711
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 5: that's the game Clemson and Georgia, that is a way

1712
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 5: to kick off a freaking season right there. You could

1713
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 5: have weeks months of anticipation for that game. This one

1714
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 5: was like, oh hey, by the way, Florida State plays

1715
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 5: Georgia Tech, it's like, oh, awesome, ball is back. There

1716
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 5: weren't weeks of van anticipation for that and Georgia if

1717
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,679
Speaker 5: they played in Week zero, they'd be like, hey, study

1718
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 5: all you want, it's not gonna matter. Okay, We're gonna

1719
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 5: roll you. In Week one if they happen to play

1720
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,960
Speaker 5: in Week zero, I just look, man, the NFL has

1721
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 5: it right. And I don't know why college football won't

1722
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 5: look to the NFL, or, to your point, Jared, major

1723
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 5: league baseball won't look at the NFL and say.

1724
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 3: They figured this out.

1725
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 5: It's like ball is back Ravens Chiefs, Oh, we're gonna

1726
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 5: hitch you the next day in Brazil with Packers Eagles. Yeah,

1727
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 5: it's a really good week one full Sunday slate primetime

1728
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 5: Stafford goes back to the Lions, Rams, Lions, and then

1729
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 5: Monday Night Jets Niners.

1730
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 3: Wow, what more could you ask for? Today? We've got

1731
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,760
Speaker 3: the Hornets of bellows.

1732
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 13: Us.

1733
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 3: Come on.

1734
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 6: Well, I will say this, the Rainbow Warriors. They cover

1735
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 6: these week zeros a lot, even these insanely long point

1736
01:27:58,880 --> 01:27:59,439
Speaker 6: spread So.

1737
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I'm with you.

1738
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 6: I think that college football needs to tear that that

1739
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 6: front page out of the NFL's playbook, which is, Hey,

1740
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 6: anywhere we can find a weekend to win or a

1741
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 6: week to win, we're gonna go and win it. And

1742
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 6: I think that this preseason bye week isn't going away,

1743
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,759
Speaker 6: even if they expand the regular season to eighteen games,

1744
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 6: and I know that the concentration and the focus is, hey,

1745
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 6: where are we going to place this this college football

1746
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 6: playoff in terms of the months and the days. And

1747
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,440
Speaker 6: you know they want to get all that scheduling logistically

1748
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 6: hammered out. But don't don't give up on week zero

1749
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 6: just to make all that right on the back end

1750
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 6: included into the package. Think about it, place it correctly,

1751
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 6: because again, if you get a bunch of those teams

1752
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 6: to your point, Brian like to play on Week zero

1753
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 6: important games, and you go ahead and you schedule it

1754
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 6: for the NFL preseason bye week where everybody pulls their

1755
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 6: attention away from the NFL for a moment to take

1756
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 6: a deep breath before we go in for the eighteen

1757
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 6: game or seventeen game this year regular season. Man, you

1758
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,600
Speaker 6: could win, You could win huge. And the NFL does that.

1759
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 6: They find weeks to win. You can find a week

1760
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 6: to win. If you're college football, you just have to

1761
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 6: be a little bit more careful with your scheduling.

1762
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 4: Rich if you were a player, let's say you're on

1763
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 4: Penn State this year, or you're on Ohio State, you know,

1764
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 4: high achieving team, would you be jacked up? Would you

1765
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:33,640
Speaker 4: be Notre Dame, would you be jacked up for a

1766
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 4: week zero game against Delaware State like you would be

1767
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 4: in Week one? Like does it matter to you that

1768
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 4: you're playing the first time out of the gate instead

1769
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 4: of getting that extra week? Like I feel like, as

1770
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 4: a player and as a coach, you want the extra week, right.

1771
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:50,879
Speaker 3: You would prefer the extra week to prepare.

1772
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 6: Now, if you're Penn State and they scheduled Ohio State, yeah,

1773
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,720
Speaker 6: in week zero, Or if you're Notre Dame and you're

1774
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 6: scheduled against out Alabama, Yeah, I mean like yeah, well,

1775
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, you're like, oh my gosh,

1776
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 6: this may echo and reverberate for the rest of our season.

1777
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,640
Speaker 6: So ready or not, we are fire. We have to

1778
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 6: be firing on all cylinders right out the gate. But yeah,

1779
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 6: for you know, if you're at Penn State and you're

1780
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 6: you're warming up with you know the akron Z.

1781
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was always Akron or Toledo one of those

1782
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 4: mac teams.

1783
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Toledo or Temple or you know.

1784
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 6: I mean like you you you would go out there

1785
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 6: and you would have this feeling of like, Okay, we're

1786
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 6: gonna roll them, and then what's next?

1787
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 3: Like, you know, it's just that's the feeling.

1788
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 6: And so you know, for all these schools who are

1789
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 6: playing cupcake matchups, and that's not to diminish Delaware State.

1790
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 6: I'm sure the Hornets have a great roster this year and.

1791
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, coming off a one to ten solid season, man,

1792
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 5: they should rip it up this year.

1793
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 6: Right, But you know what, you know, a lot of

1794
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 6: people just they they forget that things don't stagnate. All

1795
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 6: those players are going to get better in year two

1796
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 6: on that roster. So you know what ten and one

1797
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 6: this year, Rich, we're looking at, Yeah, we're looking at yeah.

1798
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 3: The inverse.

1799
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 6: It's going to be one of those games for Hawaii

1800
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 6: or even to a greater or lesser extent for Florida State,

1801
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:14,640
Speaker 6: where you know you're looking at this. There's excitement being

1802
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 6: in Dublin for the seminoles, for the yell Jackets, but

1803
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 6: outside of that, really what you would rather is having

1804
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 6: an extra week to prepare instead of having to play

1805
01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:26,519
Speaker 6: this game in weeks Eero.

1806
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 5: I'll give you a positive thing here, Okay, I am

1807
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,839
Speaker 5: so excited for this college football season because the twelve

1808
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 5: team playoffs the first year for that.

1809
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 3: One of the reasons I'm so excited.

1810
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 5: It's a great stat In the ten years of the

1811
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 5: four team playoff, just fifteen schools made the college football Playoff,

1812
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 5: and it's obviously a lot different. Now we've got a

1813
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:53,879
Speaker 5: group of five that's destined for the twelve team playoff.

1814
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 3: They've got to see it at the table.

1815
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 5: So we're gonna get some teams that have probably never

1816
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 5: made the college football play before. Certainly, you know, group

1817
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:04,840
Speaker 5: of five that's part of the mix. So I think

1818
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 5: that's awesome. And I read something I skimmed through it.

1819
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 5: There was a column from Heather Dnich from ESPN. She

1820
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:15,640
Speaker 5: does a great job, and she wrote about potential matchups

1821
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,639
Speaker 5: in the playoff and it was like number eleven Penn

1822
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 5: State against number six Oregon and then number ten Miami

1823
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 5: against number seven Notre Dame.

1824
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:27,920
Speaker 3: Think about that.

1825
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:31,679
Speaker 5: That would be at Notre Dame on their college campus

1826
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:36,960
Speaker 5: and reviving the old rivalry from the Catholics versus Convicts era,

1827
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 5: and that would be amazing for college football. So I

1828
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 5: am really excited for the season as a whole. I

1829
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 5: wish we could be more excited for Week zero, but

1830
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:48,959
Speaker 5: they're just not sexy matchups.

1831
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 3: But just you wait because there are going to be.

1832
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 5: And I just wish the last little thing that's on

1833
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:59,480
Speaker 5: my wish list as a college football junkie, I wish

1834
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:02,759
Speaker 5: it was a again like the NFL. I wish every

1835
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 5: playoff game except for the championship were on college campuses.

1836
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 5: It would be so much better than playing at neutral sites.

1837
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,720
Speaker 5: Aside from the first week of the playoff. Like you,

1838
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 5: that's your incentive to keep winning and to be one

1839
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 5: of the highest seeds.

1840
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 3: You keep playing at home throughout the playoff.

1841
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,120
Speaker 5: I wish they would ditch the bowls within the college

1842
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 5: football playoff structure. It'd be so much better.

1843
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:26,839
Speaker 3: I completely agree.

1844
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,559
Speaker 6: I think if you expand the playoff further, get rid

1845
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:33,759
Speaker 6: of more bowl games, people will enjoy the sport more

1846
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 6: because what March madness has done to college basketball you

1847
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:40,720
Speaker 6: could do for college football. It doesn't have to be

1848
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 6: sixty four teams. It doesn't have to be. I wouldn't

1849
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 6: hate it. I know we've had that argument before, but

1850
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:49,120
Speaker 6: it doesn't have to be. It could be thirty two,

1851
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 6: it could be it could be sixteen. I think there's

1852
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 6: more room than twelve. I think this is gonna work gangbusters,

1853
01:33:57,280 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 6: and I think that as a result, what you just said.

1854
01:33:59,920 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 3: Is it's true?

1855
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 6: You could have corporate sponsors attached to every single one

1856
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 6: of these bowl games, or pitbull or whatever musical artists

1857
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:11,400
Speaker 6: or Gronk can sponsor whatever quarterfinal round he wants or

1858
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:16,559
Speaker 6: they want, or you know, IBM or Mac or Mobile

1859
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 6: x on they can sponsor bulls or tostitos whoever, or

1860
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 6: I should say, or these playoff games or whoever wants to.

1861
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 6: And so everybody's still gonna make money. Everything is going

1862
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 6: to be just fine. You could still play some of

1863
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 6: these playoff games in the Rose Bowl and some of

1864
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 6: these hollowed grounds for the postseason of college football yesteryear.

1865
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 6: All of those boxes can be checked. Will be different, yeah.

1866
01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:42,840
Speaker 6: Will it be mimicking March Madness a little bit, Yeah, sure,

1867
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 6: But people like March madness and when it works, it works,

1868
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 6: And I think it could work for college football and

1869
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 6: these players since they are professional athletes. Now we're talking

1870
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 6: about guys who can cash in on their name, image

1871
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 6: and likeness. I don't think you're gonna get a lot

1872
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 6: of players complaining about how much extra wear and tear

1873
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 6: goes in on their bodies, because some of these guys

1874
01:35:02,439 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 6: are going to be able to make a down payment

1875
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 6: on a house after one season in college football. So

1876
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 6: I think we're, like I said before, we're checking a

1877
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 6: lot of boxes already, but you could check a whole

1878
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 6: bunch more and it's just a matter of building toward that.

1879
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 6: I think this is a great step expanding it to twelve,

1880
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:22,360
Speaker 6: and I'm super pumped like you are. And I think

1881
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 6: that there's even room for more improvement as the years

1882
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:25,439
Speaker 6: roll on.

1883
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 4: I could see it now, the Pit Bowl sponsored by Jackpot.

1884
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:31,639
Speaker 3: I love it. I mean, there's just.

1885
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 4: So many opportunities now. The expansion in college football is inevitable.

1886
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 4: We talked about it last year. Change you have to

1887
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 4: be comfortable being uncomfortable. The one thing that I think

1888
01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 4: is really important this year is just to kind of

1889
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 4: see how the process develops. And a lot of the

1890
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:49,680
Speaker 4: really smart people that I trust when it comes to

1891
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:53,640
Speaker 4: gambling and making bets, they are very selective early on

1892
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 4: in a college football season. I know that's when you

1893
01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 4: technically have the most advantage because the sportsbooks also don't

1894
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 4: know as much about the teams. But we're also at

1895
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 4: that disadvantage. I think slow playing the college football season,

1896
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 4: getting invested slowly, and then really hitting your stride come

1897
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 4: Week four, Week five, Week six, as we kind of

1898
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,639
Speaker 4: get to that end. But the biggest question this year

1899
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 4: is you change the no nominator with how many teams

1900
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 4: that get in. There will be some teams that just

1901
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 4: punt on games because you know, like, hey, we can

1902
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 4: still get into the playoff even if we lose this game.

1903
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 4: I'm not saying teams are not going to be prepared

1904
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 4: and not going to try to play hard, but there

1905
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 4: might come a point where if it's the third or

1906
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 4: fourth quarter of a Week two game and you're getting

1907
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 4: your butt kicked, all right, let's maybe not empty the

1908
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 4: tank and try to come back here. We're probably not

1909
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 4: going to win this game, but we can still reach

1910
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 4: our goal of making the playoff if we win the

1911
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 4: next game. And how do we win the next game, Well,

1912
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 4: we make sure we don't, you know, put all of

1913
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 4: our pieces out in this game where we're probably gonna

1914
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:56,760
Speaker 4: lose anyway. So again, those are just little things. As

1915
01:36:56,760 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 4: we go on through the course of the season, we'll

1916
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 4: see kind of how teams handle the ebbs and flows.

1917
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 4: Because collegroawall used to be a roller coaster, right, you're

1918
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:05,519
Speaker 4: going up slow, you're going up slower, going up slow.

1919
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 4: If you lose one game, that's it, boom done. Now

1920
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,360
Speaker 4: you can go through one loss, you can go through

1921
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,240
Speaker 4: a dip, and then you could slowly climb the ladder

1922
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:16,080
Speaker 4: again and you could still make the Culturwell Playoff even

1923
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 4: with two losses. I would be shocked if there's a

1924
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,760
Speaker 4: three loss team in the SEC this year that makes

1925
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 4: the Culturalwell Playoffs. So it just it changes the math.

1926
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 4: It changes the way we view these teams, and I

1927
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 4: think it's gonna change the week to week grind as

1928
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:29,000
Speaker 4: we know it.

1929
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,680
Speaker 5: It is funny how the math has completely changed. And

1930
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 5: the team that was the on the outside looking in

1931
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 5: was Florida State last season and that's the first game

1932
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,240
Speaker 5: of this season. Yeah right, Like it's just funny how

1933
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 5: that came together. But they'd be invited to the playoff

1934
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:45,760
Speaker 5: this year the fifth that's just the way it goes.

1935
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 5: All right, We've got Rich Hornberger, Penn State All American,

1951
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:42,240
Speaker 5: is going through Denver right now. Bo Nicks named QB one.

1952
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 5: I gotta give a shout out my guy, Nate Brown.

1953
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 5: He hosts a local Fox Sports radio show in Rapid City,

1954
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 5: South Dakota, and he'll have me on as a guest

1955
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 5: from time to time. And the first question this week

1956
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 5: he says, are you a bowliever?

1957
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I love it. That creates get out

1958
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 3: of here.

1959
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 5: But Bo Nick's a seventy seven percent completion rate in

1960
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:08,679
Speaker 5: the preseason, He's tossed a couple of touchdown passes. He's

1961
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 5: looked good and some people are really really excited, and

1962
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 5: that's fine, but this is mostly against backups, you know

1963
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 5: what I mean. I think the hype train in general

1964
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:23,599
Speaker 5: is really interesting. Take last night Jacksonville. Their number one

1965
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 5: offense carved up the Falcons and their backup defense. Trevor

1966
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 5: Lawrence looked really good. Is anybody today saying, hey Trevor Lawrence,

1967
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:33,839
Speaker 5: look out MVP Odds?

1968
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:36,160
Speaker 3: I'll just saying, look look at what he did. Let No,

1969
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:37,160
Speaker 3: no one's doing that.

1970
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,639
Speaker 5: So when it comes to a rookie, I just think

1971
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 5: it's really interesting, or the hype train goes crazy, and

1972
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 5: they're doing this against mostly backup defensive guys. I just

1973
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:50,640
Speaker 5: got to see it against starters to truly buy in.

1974
01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 3: It doesn't make me a hater. I just I'm not

1975
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:54,560
Speaker 3: as easily as impressed.

1976
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:56,920
Speaker 5: If you're not impressed with Trevor Lawrence, why would you

1977
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 5: be foaming at the mouth or drooling at the mouth

1978
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 5: when it to bow Nicks.

1979
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:01,960
Speaker 3: Doesn't add up.

1980
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 6: I think the NFL has a quarterback issue because quarterbacks

1981
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 6: are getting younger and younger, less and less experienced as

1982
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,679
Speaker 6: they make their way into the NFL. And you see

1983
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 6: what experience gets you. Sometimes not all the time, but sometimes.

1984
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 6: Rock Purdy was the last pick of the NFL draft

1985
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 6: when he came out of college, but he played all

1986
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:25,760
Speaker 6: those years at Iowa State, all those bowl games, and

1987
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 6: that experience paid off for him. He has quickly become

1988
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 6: one of the more dependable quarterbacks in the NFL. Now

1989
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 6: he has hitched his trailer to one of the best

1990
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,679
Speaker 6: rosters in the NFL with one of the best coaches

1991
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:39,360
Speaker 6: in the NFL. But he's made some big boy throws

1992
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 6: in some big boy moments, and so in year two,

1993
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 6: going into year three, now you can see that all

1994
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 6: of that experience helps. We've seen the other side of

1995
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 6: that coin, which is the guys like the Mitch Trubiskys

1996
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 6: of the world, who after only twelve games playing at

1997
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 6: the collegiate level, they come into the NFL as a

1998
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 6: high draft pick, a first rounder, and they struggle. Same

1999
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 6: thing with Trey Lance, who's now a backup with Dallas's

2000
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 6: It does, it does shine through how much experience can

2001
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 6: help a quarterback be a better decision maker at this level.

2002
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:18,400
Speaker 6: Bonnicks played a lot of college football, so I think

2003
01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 6: some of the hype could be real. Do the preseason

2004
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 6: numbers impress me? Not all that much. What impresses me

2005
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:29,480
Speaker 6: is when you turn on those Broncos games, he looks composed.

2006
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:33,680
Speaker 6: He looks like he's communicating the offense. He doesn't look flustered.

2007
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 6: He looks like, for example, the anti Bryce Young. Like

2008
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 6: Bryce Young, everything looked really confused and discordinated last year

2009
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 6: with the Carolina Panthers, even though he was the first

2010
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:50,799
Speaker 6: overall draft pick, Whereas if you look at CJ. Stroud,

2011
01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:54,679
Speaker 6: everything looked like it was coming easier to him. Very

2012
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:59,240
Speaker 6: composed in the huddle, he was good leader, he exuded confidence.

2013
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:02,240
Speaker 6: Bonnicks is doing that year for Denver. I'm not saying

2014
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:04,640
Speaker 6: he's going to have a CJ. Stroud year, but he

2015
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:08,639
Speaker 6: at least he looks confident and comfortable in this offense.

2016
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2017
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 4: I don't think I'll have a CJ. Stroud year either.

2018
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 4: I don't think Denver's defense is as good as the

2019
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,519
Speaker 4: Texans defense was last year. And they have an offensive

2020
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 4: minded head coach who is very And that's why I

2021
01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:21,759
Speaker 4: think bo Knicks will look better than we expect, because

2022
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 4: he has an offensive minded head coach who knows how

2023
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 4: to make it paint by numbers? What do I mean

2024
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:30,439
Speaker 4: by paint by numbers? Against the Packers, and again, Knicks

2025
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 4: has looked good in the preseason. I don't want to

2026
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 4: take anything away from his execution and comfort level in

2027
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 4: the offense, but against the Packers, his average depth of

2028
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 4: target was less than four yards. Of seventy four quarterbacks

2029
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:43,960
Speaker 4: that throw at least five passes in preseason week two,

2030
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 4: Knicks ranked sixty eighth in a dot average depth of

2031
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 4: target paint by numbers. Drop back, throw it right to

2032
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 4: the guy at the line of scrimmage, first read, he's open,

2033
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 4: get it out of your hands. There's negatives to that,

2034
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 4: because we need to push the down the field if

2035
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:02,400
Speaker 4: we want to win in the NFL. If you do

2036
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 4: not threaten the downfield pass, it allows defenses to just

2037
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:08,519
Speaker 4: sit and they can be flat footed and they can

2038
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 4: attack the line of scrimmage. The upsides to it is

2039
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:16,960
Speaker 4: he's comfortable and he's having success, and success even in

2040
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 4: small doses in the NFL leads to confidence. Confidence then

2041
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 4: leads to hopefully and opening up of the playbook and

2042
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:26,800
Speaker 4: allowing bon Nicks to do more. Is that gonna happen

2043
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 4: Week one? Probably not. Is it going to happen at

2044
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:31,599
Speaker 4: some point this season? If the Broncos want to go

2045
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 4: over their win total and maybe make the playoffs. Yes,

2046
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,639
Speaker 4: it is going to have to be handcuffs off at

2047
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 4: some point, But right now, when we're still in the

2048
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 4: you know, the larva stage of what bon Nicks's career is,

2049
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 4: I think it's okay for him to just be a

2050
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 4: quick drop back passer, get the ball out of your hands,

2051
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 4: get some completions, get some confidence, don't make the big mistake,

2052
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:58,720
Speaker 4: and then slowly build on what you would hope is

2053
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:02,160
Speaker 4: a successful season by you know, all all things being relative.

2054
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:05,559
Speaker 3: By the way. You know, who never makes the big mistake.

2055
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 4: No, I know who's you're going here.

2056
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 5: I know, you know, for the people who don't know,

2057
01:44:10,479 --> 01:44:15,599
Speaker 5: it is Isaac Loewen Krawn never makes the big mistake.

2058
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:16,719
Speaker 3: I low with the latest.

2059
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:18,360
Speaker 11: Oh, I'm feeling the pressure now.

2060
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 10: I feel like cal Ripken Game two, seven eight or whatever. Well, fellas,

2061
01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:29,800
Speaker 10: I will try and live up to that very very

2062
01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 10: gracious introduction.

2063
01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:34,719
Speaker 11: Because we're less than half an hour away.

2064
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:38,479
Speaker 10: Half an hour away a college football season kicking off

2065
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 10: a Viva Stadium Dublin, Ireland, a matchup between tenth ranked

2066
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 10: Florida State and Georgia Tech. And I want to try

2067
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 10: and give you guys sample of some of the pregame

2068
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 10: atmosphere at Aviva Stadium. A gentleman who I assume is

2069
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 10: from Ireland, Diori mac diib, posting on social media a

2070
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:12,520
Speaker 10: complaint quote no Guinness zero point zero in west stand

2071
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:17,439
Speaker 10: bad show unquote. I know Guinness is of the beer,

2072
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 10: but I don't know what zero point zero means a

2073
01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 10: zero calorie beer, I suppose, So yeah, that's what's going

2074
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 10: on in the west stand. Meanwhile, let's check out another

2075
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 10: concession stand. I'm going to read you some of the

2076
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:33,920
Speaker 10: items they have. A concession stand at a Viva stadium

2077
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 10: in Dublin devoted just to donuts, including a salted caramel

2078
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:43,639
Speaker 10: donut for three seventy five euros and a cookies and

2079
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:49,160
Speaker 10: cream donut for just three three seventy five in euros.

2080
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:53,000
Speaker 10: How much would that have cost in an American sports

2081
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:57,120
Speaker 10: venue right? Probably eight ninety five per donut. So that's

2082
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 10: what's going on as we anticipate the start of the

2083
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 10: college football season.

2084
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:00,840
Speaker 2: Now.

2085
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 10: In Major League Baseball, on Friday night, sho hey Otani

2086
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 10: reached the forty forty club in show hey Otani like

2087
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 10: fashion against the Tampa Bay Rays. He stole his fortieth

2088
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:13,240
Speaker 10: base of the season at the bottom of the fourth inning,

2089
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:15,640
Speaker 10: and then in the bottom of the ninth inning a

2090
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:19,240
Speaker 10: game winning grand slam for his fortieth home run of

2091
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 10: the season to win the game seven to three. Otani

2092
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:24,679
Speaker 10: the fastest in Major League history to reach the forty

2093
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:27,439
Speaker 10: to forty club Mariners over the Giants and ten in

2094
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 10: in six to five, Dan Wilson winning his debut of

2095
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:33,599
Speaker 10: Seattle's new manager Aaron Judges major league leading forty ninth

2096
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 10: home run, and the Yankees three nothing went over Colorado.

2097
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:40,040
Speaker 10: And finally, all those stories pale in comparison to this.

2098
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 11: This is for you, Rich.

2099
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hear it.

2100
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 10: The San Diego Padres a seven to nothing victory over

2101
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,479
Speaker 10: the New York Mets, and it was Joe Muskrove allowing

2102
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:54,080
Speaker 10: just one hit in seven innings with nine strikeouts, making

2103
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 10: Rich's day back to you.

2104
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 5: Hey, the last leg of the parlay last night, by

2105
01:46:58,240 --> 01:46:59,679
Speaker 5: the way, so maybe Fadres.

2106
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:03,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, everybody wins.

2107
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:06,839
Speaker 3: Very nice shout out to Joe Muskrove. That was beautiful.

2108
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:10,280
Speaker 3: It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff, presented by

2109
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,759
Speaker 3: Bett MGM. We are twenty four.

2110
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:16,479
Speaker 5: Minutes away from kickoff, and if we dive back into

2111
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:19,400
Speaker 5: the college football waters, if we look at.

2112
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 3: Coaches with the most to prove this season.

2113
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:27,519
Speaker 5: At the top of my list, underlined, highlighted, circled many

2114
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:30,920
Speaker 5: times I circled it, Lefty. I'm a right, I circled it, Lefty.

2115
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:33,800
Speaker 5: That's how many times it's Ryan Day at Ohio State.

2116
01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:38,639
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, this guy, talent all over this roster.

2117
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:44,280
Speaker 5: Beat Michigan, do something more in the playoff. There are

2118
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:48,960
Speaker 5: high expectations, and anything less could get him canned. Like

2119
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 5: if he loses to Michigan, or he doesn't go all

2120
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 5: the way at least to the championship game, he could

2121
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,760
Speaker 5: very well be out of a job. So I think

2122
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 5: that Ryan Day, with as much talent at his disposal,

2123
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 5: this is the gots to get it done, territory of

2124
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 5: his coaching tenure with the Buckeyes, gotta get it done.

2125
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:11,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you. I think that's a tremendous

2126
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:15,479
Speaker 6: amount to prove. Also staying in the same conference, and

2127
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:19,400
Speaker 6: I'm sure I'm in a or. I have a friend

2128
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 6: who's going to agree with me. Here another Penn State alumnus,

2129
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:27,680
Speaker 6: Jared Smith. We have James Franklin, kind of in the

2130
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:31,679
Speaker 6: same boat. Look, the recruiting classes have been solid over

2131
01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 6: the years he's been a coach there. The competition obviously

2132
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,719
Speaker 6: is fierce in the conference, but the lack of playoff

2133
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 6: berths through his tenure as a head coach of the

2134
01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:44,920
Speaker 6: Nittney Lions. And I like James Franklin. I think James

2135
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 6: is a good coach. I think he's a good person.

2136
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:50,760
Speaker 6: I think his locker room loves him, the players who

2137
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:55,280
Speaker 6: play for him. He does everything right, except that one

2138
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 6: hill left the climb is breaking into the postseason. If

2139
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:03,880
Speaker 6: they missin extended postseason somehow this year, especially with some

2140
01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:07,200
Speaker 6: of the press that they're getting. With Drew Aller being

2141
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 6: considered one of the higher potential draft picks coming out

2142
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:15,320
Speaker 6: of college football this upcoming season, it's gonna be a problem.

2143
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 6: So I staying in that same conference. I think James

2144
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 6: Franklin is a similar boat to Ryan Day.

2145
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 12: Yeah.

2146
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 4: I used to watch this, this very talented offensive lineman

2147
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 4: at Penn State during my time there. I used to

2148
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 4: go to these games and man, they were so tough

2149
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 4: in the trenches. This Orenberger guy would just get into

2150
01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:34,000
Speaker 4: you make people move at the line of scrimmix. That's

2151
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 4: what Penn State's all about. Baby. It's my dream to

2152
01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 4: attend a Penn State game with you one day, Pal.

2153
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 3: I hope that'd be great. Yeah, we got to make

2154
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 3: that happen.

2155
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 4: I think USC maybe a little later on in the

2156
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 4: year when they come our way out here in the

2157
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,760
Speaker 4: West Coast, might be on the docket. But I think

2158
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:49,439
Speaker 4: Ryan Day is one hundred percent at the top of

2159
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 4: the list. I mean, you can't lose the Michigan three

2160
01:49:51,479 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 4: years in a row, and guess what he lost to

2161
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 4: Michigan three years in a row. You upgraded at quarterback,

2162
01:49:57,200 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 4: You've got a top five recruiting class, You've got every

2163
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 4: rece at your disposal. Michigan's down. There is no excuse

2164
01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:06,439
Speaker 4: for Ryan Day not to be a number one team.

2165
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 4: You know, a top five kind of playoff vibe for

2166
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 4: Ohio State this year, and they've gotta beat Michigan. They've

2167
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 4: got to get back to the playoffs. I'll give you

2168
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 4: one that we might not be thinking of. And the

2169
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 4: hype train on this guy was rolling hard a couple

2170
01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 4: years ago when they hired him, and that's Billy Napier

2171
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 4: At Florida. Everybody was talking about how Billy Napier was

2172
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 4: just going to renovate this Florida offense. Well, guess what.

2173
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 4: Eleven and fourteen and two seasons five and seven, last

2174
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 4: year missed a bowl game, and two years ago his

2175
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:35,120
Speaker 4: first year, he was the first Florida head coach ever

2176
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:38,639
Speaker 4: to lose to all four rivals Florida State, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU.

2177
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:41,719
Speaker 4: Now they beat Tennessee last year, but one in seven

2178
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 4: against the rivals, and this is no picnic for Napier.

2179
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 4: This year they played six of the top seven in

2180
01:50:48,840 --> 01:50:53,719
Speaker 4: the SEC, in addition to your in state rivals Florida State, Miami, UCF.

2181
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:56,719
Speaker 4: Now they're good at quarterback, Graham Mertz was way better

2182
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:59,720
Speaker 4: than expected last year. The receiver group should be the strength.

2183
01:50:59,360 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 3: Of the team.

2184
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:03,960
Speaker 4: So I think Billy Napier doesn't have any excuses this

2185
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 4: year besides the offensive line, which can be shaky, although

2186
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 4: they did add a good transfer coming in from USC.

2187
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 4: I think Billy Napier has to have a good year

2188
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:15,120
Speaker 4: or else Florida might be looking to move on.

2189
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 3: I'll give you another guy on my list, Dabo Sweeney.

2190
01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 4: Yep.

2191
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:20,639
Speaker 3: And because you look.

2192
01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 5: At Clemson, they won ten at least ten games for

2193
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:28,720
Speaker 5: twelve straight seasons under Dabo Sweeney and that came to

2194
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 5: an end last year. So I want to see if

2195
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 5: he can get back on track because they've had so

2196
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:36,639
Speaker 5: much success over there. But a nine and four season,

2197
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:41,160
Speaker 5: that's just that's not what we've seen for a decade

2198
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:46,200
Speaker 5: plus from Clemson and is reluctance to embrace the transfer portal.

2199
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:48,760
Speaker 5: It's one thing if you go against the grain and

2200
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 5: it's working. It's another thing if you go against the

2201
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:53,680
Speaker 5: grain and it is not working. And you look at

2202
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 5: a team like Florida State who plays today in less

2203
01:51:56,200 --> 01:52:00,000
Speaker 5: than twenty minutes, but Florida State passed up Clemson last season,

2204
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 5: and a lot of that was due to transfers.

2205
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 3: Like look at their main guys.

2206
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 5: Jordan Travis, Keon, Coleman, Johnny Wilson, Jeared Verse, all transfers,

2207
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,679
Speaker 5: and Dabo gives the Heisman pos to the transfer portal.

2208
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:15,680
Speaker 5: He's like, no, we like our own guys, like to

2209
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 5: develop them again, man, I think it's outdated and the

2210
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:22,280
Speaker 5: win total has been dwindling. So he's got to get

2211
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 5: that program back on track.

2212
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:24,960
Speaker 3: I think he has.

2213
01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 5: He's on my needs has to prove something this year

2214
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:32,639
Speaker 5: because I haven't sold all my stock. But the arrow

2215
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:34,719
Speaker 5: has been pointing down. He's got to get that pointed

2216
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 5: back up again.

2217
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:38,719
Speaker 6: That's a great thing to point out about Dabo's early

2218
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:42,640
Speaker 6: reluctance to adapt to the new and ever changing landscaping

2219
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 6: college football. Every year it feels like things are different

2220
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:49,840
Speaker 6: than the year before, and not just little differences, like big,

2221
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 6: big differences.

2222
01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:53,719
Speaker 3: And slow adoption of.

2223
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:57,160
Speaker 6: These new processes that are happening is not going to

2224
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,160
Speaker 6: benefit you, because you will look like a dinosaur in

2225
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:03,280
Speaker 6: just months time if you don't adjust. I think that's

2226
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:05,000
Speaker 6: the reason why Nick Saban got out of the game.

2227
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 6: I think he was tired of it. In fact, I

2228
01:53:08,120 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 6: know he was, because he said that he was tired

2229
01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 6: of you know, minutes after the last whistle of a

2230
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:21,400
Speaker 6: playoff game and an exhausting loss to Michigan in the postseason.

2231
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:25,519
Speaker 6: He's got players burning up his phone asking for more

2232
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:27,880
Speaker 6: money or how much playing time he can promise them

2233
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:30,240
Speaker 6: for the upcoming football season because they're gonna hop in

2234
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:32,320
Speaker 6: the transfer portal unless.

2235
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 3: Their needs are met. And so that's just where you're at.

2236
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 6: So if you don't like it, Dabo or anybody, then

2237
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:42,760
Speaker 6: you gotta move on, because somebody else is going to

2238
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 6: do that work. And that's just the direction college football

2239
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 6: is pointing right now, and it's not changing anytime soon.

2240
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 4: D'htell you quick story really fast. In two thousand and nine,

2241
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:55,920
Speaker 4: I was an intern for the Trenton Thunder Minor League

2242
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:58,000
Speaker 4: baseball team, and I was put in charge of their

2243
01:53:58,040 --> 01:54:01,400
Speaker 4: Twitter account, and I was thinking myself, this Twitter thing

2244
01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:03,920
Speaker 4: is so stupid. Who cares what Britney spears and all

2245
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:07,439
Speaker 4: these and all these celebrities are doing this Twitter Thing's

2246
01:54:07,520 --> 01:54:09,679
Speaker 4: never gonna catch on. Why are we spending so much

2247
01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:13,400
Speaker 4: time trying to post tweet? Yeah, that's Dabosweeney with the

01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

2276
01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:44,360
Speaker 2: Rapid fire man.

2277
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

2278
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 5: So it was just last week where the Undertaker was added.

2279
01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:52,960
Speaker 3: You had Rich Ornberger closing strong.

2280
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 5: This is a brief portion of how it sounded I'm

2281
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 5: going all.

2282
01:55:56,640 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 6: Under today and that the Undertaker and he was three

2283
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 6: and Oho then Undertaker.

2284
01:56:02,840 --> 01:56:05,160
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens with Rich momentarily.

2285
01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:08,280
Speaker 5: But first though, Jared Smith kicking us off, what do

2286
01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:09,000
Speaker 5: you like today?

2287
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 4: Well, I went back and looked at my pick history

2288
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 4: from the first two years of doing the show one

2289
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:17,640
Speaker 4: twenty two, ninety three and one fifty seven percent, and

2290
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 4: again we have a little big sample size. Now I

2291
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 4: will try to keep fifty seven percent on the horizon

2292
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:24,920
Speaker 4: for this college football season. I'll give you this under

2293
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 4: in Delaware State Hawaii. It's continuing to move down. I

2294
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:28,920
Speaker 4: bet under fifty five and a half this morning. The

2295
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:32,280
Speaker 4: number here currently at MGM fifty two and a half.

2296
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:35,680
Speaker 4: I play this down to fifty one. What is Hawaii's

2297
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 4: incentive to open up the playbook? They play UCLA next

2298
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 4: week and the Bruins coaches are sitting on their couch

2299
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 4: watching everything the Rainbow Warriors do. I think this is

2300
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:46,480
Speaker 4: going to be a bare bones offense under the Delaware

2301
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 4: State ain't gonna do a whole lot under fifty two

2302
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:50,800
Speaker 4: and a half. Delaware State Hawaii. Late night, I'll give

2303
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 4: you New Mexico catching nearly two touchdowns against Montana State.

2304
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:59,840
Speaker 4: You heard that right, An FBS team catching nearly two touchdowns,

2305
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 4: thirteen and a half, the current number against an FCS team.

2306
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 4: I know Montana State is great, they almost won the

2307
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 4: Natty a few years ago, but still New Mexico Bronco Mendenhall.

2308
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:11,640
Speaker 4: I think they keep this one a little bit closer

2309
01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:13,520
Speaker 4: than the odds expect. And finally, I'll give you an

2310
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 4: NFL preseason total because the Unders are going ham in

2311
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:21,080
Speaker 4: the preseason. Twenty seven and eleven. So what are we

2312
01:57:21,120 --> 01:57:24,560
Speaker 4: gonna do. We're gonna bet it over Brown Seahawks over

2313
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:26,840
Speaker 4: thirty six and a half. I think you're gonna see

2314
01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:29,640
Speaker 4: starters from both offenses play in this game tonight.

2315
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 6: All right, Ravens don't like losing in the preseason. They

2316
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:37,800
Speaker 6: had that ridiculous twenty four win streak. Twenty four game

2317
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 6: win streak in the preseason snapped last year. They're one

2318
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:43,320
Speaker 6: and one this preseason. They're getting two and a half

2319
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 6: today against the Packers.

2320
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 3: I like it.

2321
01:57:45,760 --> 01:57:49,040
Speaker 6: Give me Baltimore Cowboys favored by three and a half

2322
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:50,080
Speaker 6: over the Chargers.

2323
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:51,120
Speaker 3: For good reason.

2324
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 6: It looks like Trey Lance could play the entire game

2325
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 6: and maybe potentially be traded after this game. Well, give

2326
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:01,320
Speaker 6: me the Boys favored by three and a half. Staying

2327
01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:03,200
Speaker 6: with that game for a second, give me the under

2328
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:06,160
Speaker 6: on the thirty three and a half points. The Undertaker returns.

2329
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:09,520
Speaker 6: Chargers have scored a grand total of twelve points through

2330
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 6: two weeks of the preseason, and Padres pitcher Michael King

2331
01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 6: rock solid for the Padres seven games, last seven games,

2332
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 6: five and one record two to one six e r

2333
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 6: facing David Peterson with the Mets last seven games four

2334
01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:27,320
Speaker 6: to one, record two four five era strong pictures, equal

2335
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 6: low run totals.

2336
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 3: Give me the under on the seven and a half

2337
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 3: runs Mets at Padres.

2338
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:35,720
Speaker 5: Okay, I like a bonus pick from Rich because one

2339
01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 5: of his starting pitchers got scratched earlier this season.

2340
01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:42,640
Speaker 3: I think it was Joe Muskrove, it was Threst last night.

2341
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:44,120
Speaker 3: Just karma.

2342
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 4: I love circle.

2343
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:48,240
Speaker 5: Jared and Rich are neck and neck for the summer

2344
01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:52,640
Speaker 5: rapid fire picks. I would like to refer to myself

2345
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:56,640
Speaker 5: as the bronze medalist. I'm on the podium, which is

2346
01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:58,920
Speaker 5: a nice way of saying I'm dead freaking last year.

2347
01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 5: I can't wait for new season. With football officially back

2348
01:59:03,360 --> 01:59:06,959
Speaker 5: next week, we wipe the slate clean. But for today,

2349
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:10,360
Speaker 5: I'm all over this Florida State Georgia Tech game. Give

2350
01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:13,600
Speaker 5: you a couple of props. Give me dj dj uiy

2351
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:17,560
Speaker 5: ungla leg under two twenty five and a half passing yards.

2352
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna rely heavily on the ground game.

2353
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 5: Give me a Florida State running back Lawrence Towah Feely

2354
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:27,240
Speaker 5: over forty and a half rushing yard. It's gonna be

2355
01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 5: rushing by committee. But that Georgia Tech defense, they are

2356
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:35,160
Speaker 5: a sieve over there. And I'm also gonna go under

2357
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:39,120
Speaker 5: twenty seven and a half combined points in the first half.

2358
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:43,760
Speaker 5: I'm not expecting major fireworks right away, so We're gonna

2359
01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 5: slow play this thing just a little.

2360
01:59:45,280 --> 01:59:48,360
Speaker 3: Bit right there. Like it? There you go, I love it.

2361
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:51,880
Speaker 5: Hi, everybody ball is back up on, game is back.

2362
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:55,040
Speaker 5: It is a beautiful day. You guys, enjoy it and

2363
01:59:55,080 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 5: we will catch you soon.
