1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: What is up? Straight firefam hits me Jason McIntyre Straight

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: Fire for Thursday, November twenty First, we are one week

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: away from Thanksgiving, ladies and gentlemen, one week away from

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: the greatest feast day of the year. I cannot wait.

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: I do regret to inform you that the Thanksgiving games

7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: next Thursday are not hot fire. Chicago at Detroit probably

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: a bloodbath, Lions roll Giants at Cowboys looking like DeVito

9
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: Cooper rush. You can just skip that one. And then

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: you've got the Dolphins and Packers. Dolphins are mildly intriguing.

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: Let's see if they get a win this week. They

12
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: are hosting Tampa, and then they would have to go

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: to possibly the Frozen tuns or where all all you

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: will see is Tua. Is this bad in cold weather?

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: So I don't see any great games there. But we'll

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: see the college football slate. Let me see what college

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: football offers a week from today on Thanksgiving. College football

18
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: schedule says, oh, gosh, there's nothing Memphis Tulane really, Oh,

19
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: we'll have the Maui Classic, I think next week, that's right.

20
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: Mai Malui Classic is always good for and that reminds

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: me you would go to college and you would come

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: back and you get like that full week and I

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: would love nothing more than to just lay in front

24
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: the television and watch college basketball, and then you know,

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: your boys are Eventually everybody else comes back. You guys

26
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: start going to the gym, you start pre gaming at like,

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: you know, eight nine. You got no curfew anymore. Now

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: that you're back, there's obviously nothing to do. And you know,

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: small not that's small of a town, but in the

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: area where I grew up. But it was just, you know,

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: you tried to get into some debauchery and it just

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: never really materialized. Were a couple of times I was

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: a little hungover on Thanksgiving. I didn't love that feeling

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: because I'm definitely like, I want to enjoy the food guy,

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: I want to be like you know, all day. But

36
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: it was always a great week. It felt the first

37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: time you go to college and the first freshman year

38
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 2: you come back and that Thanksgiving week you just feel like,

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: I'm like mature. Now, I'm grown. You go to like

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: you go around town, You'll start seeing like the high

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: school girls and you feel like, oh, I'm a freshman

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: at college. You know, I'm so above all. It's just

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: it's that's the kind of stuff I'll remember forever. Anyways,

44
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: we got a great podcast today, Chris the Bear Felika

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: dropping by. We're talking college football quarterbacks for the draft.

46
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: NFL preface this. He is a Jets fan. I promise

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: we're not going to talk a lot of Jets going forward.

48
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: We're just getting it out of our system because all

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: the news is happening. A decent night on the hardwood.

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: I'll just say this because you know, it's not that

51
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: big of a deal, but this situation in Philadelphia. They

52
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: fall to two and twelve. The Big three actually played

53
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: some minutes together. Joel Embiid came out. Remember the last

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: game he did not attempt to free throw, and much

55
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: was made of that. Joel and Biid fourteen and fourteen

56
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: on free throws, played thirty five minutes, thirty five and eleven.

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: Good numbers, right. They lose to Memphis. Yeah, Paul George

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: got hurt. Now now it's Paul George's down. He was

59
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: one of six from the field in seventeen minutes. Maxi

60
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: came back three of thirteen. I mean, folks, they are

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: in a really bad place right now. They lost to

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: a team with that started Jalen Wells, who is a

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: young kid. I don't know that much about Scottie Pippen junior,

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: who was mostly a G League guy. I mean, they

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: let Memphis do whatever they wanted Memphis, it's nineteen threes.

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: But now the issue is this Paul George situation. It's like, gosh,

67
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: if Paul George is hurt and Beid can't do back

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: to backs, I mean, how bleak are we looking here?

69
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: It's just no bueno at all. I feel bad George

70
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: with the hyper extended left knee. They're going to do

71
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: more testing. It's the same injury you had earlier this month.

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: Paul George cannot catch a break. Anyways, Let's get to

73
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,000

Speaker 2: You know him well, he's been on here before, He's

79
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: been on TV for she's well over a decade. He's

80
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: crushing it with the Bear Bets podcast, college football guy

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: and most importantly a huge Jets fan, Chris Folicka. How

82
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: you doing, Chris?

83
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: Oh, we're doing fantastic because now the Joe Douglas era

84
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: has been ushered into a and yeah, I guess. I

85
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: guess you can only miss on what two quarterbacks in

86
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: the draft and then signing Aaron Rodgers in that trade

87
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: and multimately see you through. He had some uh he

88
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: had some good picks. He had some some gems. But

89
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: at the same time, uh, the name of the game

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: is find your franchise quarterback.

91
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: And uh so for three yeah Jets. As a Jets fan,

92
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: it's been a tough, tough going another another year no playoffs.

93
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: I know everybody takes a few as college football, but

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: you are a big time Jets fan. And Chris, I

95
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: got to say this Woody Johnson report that he was

96
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: coming to everybody and saying, hey, we're benching the safety

97
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: this week, Like I mean, you just hear that and

98
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: you're just psych Mike, Can I take up a collection

99
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: so we could get a group to own the Jets

100
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: because this is this unacceptable.

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: Good organ good organization start at the top, and I

102
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: guess the parallel you can make NFL style is what

103
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: Daniel Snyder and the Washington football team commander is Redskins

104
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: whatever it was for for his tenure there, that's that's

105
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 3: what it was. He was known as a kind of

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 3: a meddling owner and getting involved in decisions that he

107
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: probably had people that he hired who were qualified to

108
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: make those decisions and they didn't. Now you got, uh

109
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: if these were sports are true about Widy Johnson and

110
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 3: wanting to bank Aaron Rodgers, like stay out of the way.

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 3: And I guess if you're a Jets fan, any hope

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: and optimism as a Jets fan is a very very

113
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: dangerous thing. But I guess there's the possibility. I mean,

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: he was the ambassador to the UK and Trump's first term.

115
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: Maybe I was back over there. Maybe he sees some

116
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: control of the team to bring in some football people

117
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 3: and he's kind of out of sight, out of mind,

118
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: and maybe you can, maybe you can get this turned around.

119
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: But I mean, you look, you'll and it's gonna be hard.

120
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't have a good cap situation. I

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: mean I would be shocked if Aaron Rodgers was back

122
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: at quarterback next year. Tyrod Taylor certainly isn't a long

123
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 3: term answer. You're gonna have to anty up in Papery's

124
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: Hall and Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson like, not a

125
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: good situation right now, especially in a division where you've

126
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: got one of the head dogs the f C and

127
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: the Bills, and who knows what you're gonna get. It

128
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: looks like the Patriots may have their franchise quarterback to

129
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: a staying healthy now hopefully for the Dolphins, and doesn't

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: look like a great situation for our for Gang Green.

131
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. They won that stupid game against the

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Rams like five years ago that cost them Trevor Lawrence,

133
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: and then last year with Zach Wilson once Rogers went

134
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: down and you're like, oh, well we'll be awful, and

135
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson and the defense kept them in games they

136
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: win seven. I think. So you don't have a super

137
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: high pick, couldn't get a quarterback in a pretty stacked

138
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: quarterback draft apparently. And now you, Chris, you're a college

139
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: football guy. You look at this year's crop, it's like, Okay,

140
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: everybody loves shad Or. I like cam Ward. I don't

141
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: know if everyone else is his high on him as me,

142
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: and then it's like when yours Jalen Milroe, I don't

143
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: would you look at the quarterbacks for this draft, do

144
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: you see anyone that jumps out at you?

145
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: I would imagine Shader will be the number one pick

146
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: in the first quarterback off the board, But I'm not

147
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: sure cam Ward is no the guy in the NFL guy.

148
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Carlson Beck certainly has been turning the ball

149
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: over a ton this year. Quinn, You're certainly is not.

150
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it is a great quarterback class. I think, unfortunately,

151
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna see teams reaching for these guys thinking

152
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: we need a quarterback, we got to get one, when

153
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: in actuality, there may not be one available for them.

154
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: So it's a bad year I think to potentially need

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: a quarterback unless you're a team that you have your

156
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: quarterback and you're picking number one, And I don't know

157
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: how ultimately it's gonna play out who's gonna get the

158
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: number one pick. But if you're a if you're bad

159
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: and you don't need a quarter baby the Patriots somehow

160
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: get the number one pick, you can probably get a

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 3: haul for that pick. Someone who's gonna take take Shudar

162
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: so yeah, bad year to need a quarterback.

163
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: Now, I'm just curious on Shador as we pivot to

164
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: college football. You've seen him a lot. I just wonder

165
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: there's a lot of hype around him obviously, but is

166
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: this one of these like there's not a lot of

167
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: great options, but Shadur is pretty damn good. And then

168
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: you know there's the Dion stuff that's lurking out there

169
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: where Listen, man, if he goes to you know, whatever team,

170
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: it's pretty safe to assume that Dion's probably not far behind, right,

171
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: would you agree with that or no?

172
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: I would disagree. I was being out in Colorado this

173
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: past weekend with been doing Kickoff. I think the sense

174
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: out there, if you talk to people around that program

175
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 3: and on the coaching staff, is that he's going to

176
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: see it out another year because I think he hears

177
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: that narrative and I think he's out to prove people

178
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: wrong and kind of there for a little bit of

179
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: a longer time. I think I'd watch. I would think

180
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: the kid Julian lewis, the kid who just he committed

181
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: from SC and has been all over the place. I

182
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: think there's a good chance he could wind up in

183
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: Boulder next year as the starting quarterback. But yeah, I

184
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: think sha dur is by far the best of a

185
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: group of quarterbacks that aren't great. I was listening actually

186
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: on Todd mcshay's podcast earlier or last week when he

187
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: was kind of going over the quarterbacks, and he kind

188
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: of echoed the same same thing, like, Shaduri is really

189
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: good here his straints, He's not as fast necessarily as

190
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: you think, maybe his arm isn't as strong as you

191
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: normally think. But at the same time, he's playing behind

192
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 3: an offensive line that isn't necessarily great right now when

193
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: he's kind of having to do a lot of things

194
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: on his own. So yeah, I would not. I don't.

195
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily buy all this. Dion Sanders to the

196
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: Cowboys or Florida State or whomever the NFL should that

197
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: team wind up drafting, should there.

198
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting you're I believe, did you go to Miami?

199
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: I didn't, Right, So you've seen cam Ward a lot

200
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: of you wagered on him a lot. Every time I

201
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 2: look at this guy, he's making phenomenal plays.

202
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: Now.

203
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly the extent of what he's working

204
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: with offensive line receivers, but it did your mention of

205
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: the kid at Georgia Carson Beck. So he had Brock

206
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: Bauers in lad McConkey last year and he kind of

207
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: looked like a first round pick. They're now onto the

208
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: NFL and they're crushing it, and all of a sudden,

209
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 2: Carson Beck doesn't look so how much of it is context?

210
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: And does Kim Ward have any dudes in Miami with him?

211
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: Cam cam Ward has some guys at Miami. Zaber Estruppo

212
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: is a really good wide receiver, has been there a while.

213
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: They've got some some tight ends that are really good

214
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: and athletic. He's got an offensive line that Mario Crystaball

215
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 3: has built up. His line's pretty good. I think the

216
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: knock on Cam is he has a tendency to hold

217
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 3: the ball a little bit too long, which is the

218
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: same kind of knock that people have on Shredeur Sanders.

219
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: And he always seems to make a couple of throws

220
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: during the course of the game back across your body

221
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: on the run that gets picked off or could have

222
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: been picked off. He had play at the end of

223
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: the Georgia Tech game where he held the ball forever,

224
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 3: had a chance to get rid of it. Fumble end

225
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: of games. So he always seems to have a game

226
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: or two where he's making a couple of couple of

227
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: plays that ultimately end in a turnover and poorly for

228
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: his team. I'm not sure arm strength. The questions about

229
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: him often says that he's been running in college. These

230
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: very like pass heavy, kind of quick throw kind of

231
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: kind of offenses, said that he's been running. I think

232
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: that maybe you have a little bit of a knock

233
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: against him as well. I'm not saying that he can't

234
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: go on and have a great NFL career. Any of

235
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: these guys can't, but I just I try and weigh

236
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: it in the sense that these guys are going to

237
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: probably go higher than they should, and their career and

238
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: their success is going to be weighed and judged against

239
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 3: them potentially being a first or a second round pick

240
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: as opposed to the type of grade that they probably

241
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: should have, which is more of like a third or

242
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: fourth round pick.

243
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: And somebody's gonna go to the Titans, who stink. Somebody's gonna,

244
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: unfortunately go to the Browns or the Raiders, and you're

245
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: probably gonna have no chance and it's gonna be tough.

246
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: But let's go to college football. I've got the and listen,

247
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm not one of the I do like the phony

248
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: outrage that I'm seeing Chris among you know the top

249
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: twelve so far, and Tennessee's been left out in Indiana's

250
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: in I'm just gonna let you riff for a second

251
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: on did anything really tick you off? Or do you

252
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: hate like the online discussion that surrounds this this playoff.

253
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: I don't hate the online discussion around it, because that's

254
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: why they reveal these rankings every week. It's for the right. Ultimately,

255
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: these rankings mean nothing right now. And that was my

256
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: takeaway from Tuesday night. Everything gets reset, re ordered, and

257
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: a little bit more solidified after we get the result

258
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: in Columbus on Saturday between Indiana and Ohio State. I

259
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: think people who are outraged right now that Texas doesn't

260
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: have a win over a ranked team and they're ranked third,

261
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: and they got to bet on their home field by

262
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: two touchdowns against Georgia and a game that really wasn't

263
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: super competitive. Penn States only win against the ranked team

264
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: is against Illinois on their home field and kind of

265
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: an ugly game. Indiana's faced one hundred and six schedule

266
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 3: in the country and they have no losses. Like I

267
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 3: think the committee has played it very safe right now

268
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: in a sense that they're really just kind of loss ordered,

269
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: and once we get the resilt like Indiana is like

270
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 3: the paper ceiling at five, Like, once we know whether

271
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: that ceiling is legit or if that if that piece

272
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: of paper has kind of been busted through this week

273
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: in Columbus, then we're gonna see the movement with these

274
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: two loss se Alabama all miss Georgia tennis, Like what

275
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: happens then that that's when we're gonna find out where

276
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: this committee goes. But it feels like this committee is

277
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: just kind of right now taking the easy road out,

278
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: playing a conservative Let's just rank them, rank them by losses,

279
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: will give them their due, they've won their games, and

280
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: almost hoping that this thing just plays out where they

281
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: don't have to make a difficult decision like a different

282
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: committee did last year leaving Florida stayed at once Alabama

283
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: won the SEC. So I'm curious to see what happens

284
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: in Columbus this week. In trin Indiana pull the upset,

285
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a massive story and that will send

286
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: Ohio State on the road in the first round of

287
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: the playoffs, because I mean, they'll still be in the

288
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: playoff at ten and two with that win over Penn State.

289
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: But I think a couple of things that you can

290
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: potentially look towards that might shake this thing up a

291
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: little bit. What happens if Texas goes to Texas A

292
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: and M in a couple of weeks and then you

293
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: and they lose. We think Texas is good, we think

294
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: their defense is elite, but the resume isn't really going

295
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: to hold water against a lot of teams. At ten

296
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: and two, Texas might be in trouble. What happened?

297
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Wait?

298
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, Chris, what is Texas's best win right now?

299
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: Is it?

300
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: Right now?

301
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Vy?

302
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: So that's not as good as Ohio State's winning Penn State?

303
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Right?

304
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: No? No, not at all. I mean it's much of

305
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: a as much of a doubt as I have about

306
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: Penn State and kind of the hollow calorie wings that

307
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: they have. It's still a really good defense. They were good.

308
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: They did go on the road and beat SC They

309
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: do have a win over a ranked team against Illinois.

310
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: They're a good team, but I don't necessarily think they're

311
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: the number four team in the country. But like what

312
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: happens if Texas lose? Is like, did they fall behind

313
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: out of the top twelve completely? What about Alabama? The

314
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: Alabama Tennessee discussions, Like Tennessee beat Alabama early in the year,

315
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: Like what happens if Alabama wins and wins in Norman

316
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: this week they win the iron Ball?

317
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: But when they win? What good?

318
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: Really interesting? In Oklahoma?

319
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: I like OU this week plus the points? How much

320
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: did they getting thirteen and a half is what it's

321
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: at now? And I got fourteen Yeah, a couple of

322
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: days ago, and it's moved to thirteen and a half,

323
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: And that's what I've had to go with. But it's

324
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: Alabama struggled moving the ball on to South Carolina. They

325
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: struggled moving the ball at Neiland Stadium. Again, it's a

326
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: really good defense at Tennessee. This is still a proud

327
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: blue blood program in Oklahoma led by a head coach

328
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: who gets very emotional. Uh could use that motivational chip

329
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: about people talking about his job security. They did a

330
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: really good job defensively on a good old miss offense

331
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks back. Would not surprise me at

332
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: all to see OU hang in there. But assume Alabama

333
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: does win, like they should, they win the Iron Bowl,

334
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: they win the SEC championship. Tennessee beat them, and like,

335
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 3: I don't know how you could.

336
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: Put like, Tennessee beat them at home, right, they.

337
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 3: Went home and it was an ugly type game and

338
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: in Alabama couldn't stop Tennessee on third down, but they

339
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: did win the game. And like how the committee would

340
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: judge that tending to Tennessee with a win over an

341
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: SEC champion Alabama, who's gonna probably be at that point

342
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: be ranked third or fourth against an Indiana team which

343
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 3: they depending on how they go to depending on how

344
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 3: they fare if they lose, if they lose this weekend, Like,

345
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: that'll be a very interesting conversation. And then I think

346
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: the other couple of things that could potentially blow this

347
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 3: up or create a good bit of discussion would be

348
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: what if what happens if Army happens to shock us

349
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: all this week and beat Notre Dames?

350
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: No way, Oh my god, are you on the Irish

351
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: or Army this weekend? I like Notre Dame this week Okay, yeah,

352
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: yeah I am as well.

353
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 3: I do it too, But this is this is what

354
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: we do on Twitter and social media and all these

355
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 3: podcasts we talk about, it's hypotheticals and this is why,

356
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: like I said, why they do it. Army beats Notre

357
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: Dame this week, Army beats Tu Lane in the AC

358
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: championship game. They're going past Boise State.

359
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: Right like, wow, Oh that's I mean, I haven't thought

360
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: that that.

361
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: We got it.

362
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: First of all, let let's see if they can even

363
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: could be competitive with the Irish, who I think kind

364
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: of wax them. But let me go back to this indianauto.

365
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: Do style points matter? If so, Indiana's a thirteen point dog.

366
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: If they show well and score a late touchdown and

367
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: lose thirty three to thirty, they couldn't get the on

368
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: side kick, That's that's a good showing. Oh is that

369
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: good enough?

370
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: Let's go it's add that by In my opinion, that's

371
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: absolutely good enough. And I think if you're Indiana, you

372
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: can take a couple of things that have happened in

373
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: recent days and weeks to feel pretty good about your

374
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 3: chances of going in there and competing. Look, I was

375
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: there in Columbus when Nebraska had multiple chances to take

376
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: a lead and potentially win that game, had goal to

377
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: go situations and couldn't score a touchdown or else the

378
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: outcome of that game would have been different. Ohio State

379
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 3: losing their left tackle against Oregon, then you wind up

380
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: losing your center McLachlan yesterday to a torn achilles. Like

381
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 3: that was the one area that Ohio State couldn't afford

382
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: to lose someone. And now you lose the anchor of

383
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 3: your offensive line three days before the biggest game of

384
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: the season for you. That that's not a good thing.

385
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: Indiana's front is pretty good in stopping the run, so

386
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: we'll see if Ohio State can kind of tinker with

387
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: that offensive line, which looked so good against Penn State

388
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. But I think you there's

389
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 3: going to be that group of people that automatically want

390
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: to compare scorers to hey, Indiana beat Nebraska, what fifty

391
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: two to seven?

392
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: Okay, all right? So I just looked at that Ohio

393
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: State Nebraska game. It was it was basically a sandwich spot.

394
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: You're coming off the Oregon loss, right, then you have

395
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: a buy then it's Nebraska, then it's Penn State. So

396
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: it was like they were clearly looking ahead to Penn State,

397
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 2: kind of played with their food. You make a good

398
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: point that Indiana smoked Nebraska, but it's not It's not

399
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: quite apples to apples, is it.

400
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: No? No, I don't think it is at all. And

401
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 3: that was what I was going to was that, like,

402
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: it's always dangerous to compare these scores. Yeah, but what

403
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: the one? But I would have liked Indiana's chances here

404
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: much better before the Michigan game. Yes, yes, watch the

405
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: Michigan game against Indiana. Michigan's like the most like NFL

406
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: prospect body team that Indiana has played so far. They

407
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 3: couldn't move the ball on Michigan. And that's what ultimately

408
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: worries me in a game that might be a bad

409
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: weather game. Curtis Rourke can't throw. Are they going to

410
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: be able to run and move the ball on and

411
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: they need they need two yards on third and two?

412
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: Can they get it on the ground if they can't throw,

413
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 3: if they're running out first down, can they go avoid

414
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: balling behind the sticks? Because that's ultimately the issue that

415
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: I have, Like, this is an Ali of State team

416
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: that talent wise, prospect wise, is better than Michigan and

417
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: far better than Indiana. But hey, that's why we played

418
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 3: the games. Upsets happened. But that would worry me if

419
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: I'm an Indiana fan. Just how much trouble you had

420
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 3: against Michigan moving the ball and now you know you

421
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 3: are playing a better defense this week on their home field.

422
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: So like Tennessee versus Indiana, right, So let's say Indiana

423
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: loses and they lose by twenty and they drop out.

424
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: Tennessee slides in, and you look at Tennessee's resume and

425
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, close loss to Arkansas right before their

426
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: big rivalry game against Tennessee Florida game, Yep, yep, respectable

427
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: loss to Georgia. You know it's Georgia. Come on, Tennessee.

428
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: Seems like they're in really good shape. They still play

429
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: UTEP and Vandy. And let's say you totally vomit all

430
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: over themselves against Vandy. They should Tennessee should be in, right.

431
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: I would think, So, I mean, that's how I would

432
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 3: I would vote in that room. And we're taking order

433
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: these teams. But it's funny we talk about narrowing it

434
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: down right now, like Indiana versus Tennessee and such. You

435
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 3: and I have been following this sport and we bet

436
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: on this stuff long enough to know that something is

437
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 3: gonna happen out there that we're not seeing coming. Alabama

438
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: losing at Oklahoma, Ole Miss losing at Florida A and

439
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: m losing at Auburn, Auburn maybe winning the Iron both.

440
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: Some type of result is gonna happen. That kinda is like,

441
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: oh wow, I didn't expect that, and that's gonna throw

442
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 3: another monkey renche into everything and kind of have us

443
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: rethinking and reorder everything out there.

444
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: I am just curious. Are we in a year where

445
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: there's nobody great, there's no dominant team like in the

446
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 2: last five years. I feel like Chris every there's Michigan

447
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: was dominant last year. I mean they were really freaking good.

448
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: So Georgia was really dominant. Georgia for a couple of

449
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: years has been dominant. I look, I don't want to

450
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: offend Jeff Schwartz here. I don't think Oregon is great,

451
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: right I look at them, They're good, They're fine, They're good,

452
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: unimpressive against Wisconsin whatever, throw it out, fine, They've they've

453
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: been good against other teams. I thought Ohio State outplayed

454
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: them in Oregon. I mean you could say it was

455
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: a toss up. Fine, but like Oregon's won, but I

456
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: don't think they're amazing. I honestly still think Ohio State's

457
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: the best team and they're in a great spot at

458
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: five right.

459
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 3: Yes, And that's one of the crazy things too, Like

460
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: with the way the rankings were on Tuesday night, you've

461
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 3: got a Boise State at four as a team getting

462
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 3: a potentially in a bye, So you could potentially have

463
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: Ohio State playing a Big twelve champion in a five

464
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: to twelve game, whether it's Colorado BYU Arizona State, playing

465
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: a home game against a Big twelve championship, and then

466
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 3: playing Boise a neutral site, like the five seed is

467
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: gonna be like the second or third choice to wind

468
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: up winning the title. But you're right. Before the year started,

469
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: I assumed, and I think a bunch of people did

470
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 3: that it was kind of Ohio State in Georgia versus

471
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: the field. And I think as the year has gone on,

472
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: we've kind of seen Georgia kind of disappoint and lose

473
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: a couple of games, and they've looked great when they've

474
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: needed backs against the Wall of Texas, backs against the

475
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: Wall against Tennessee. They provided a performance that made us remember,

476
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: this is why we thought Georgia was the best game

477
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 3: in the country, and the same with Ohio State, like

478
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: they sputted at Oregon. The injuries in the game against

479
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 3: Nebraska is a flat spot. But when they had to

480
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: go on the road and they had to have it

481
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: against Penn State and didn't allow on offensive touchdown. But

482
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: I think the list of like teams that can win

483
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: the national title, I think we're probably looking at five,

484
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: maybe six.

485
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 2: Hu is Notre Dame in there?

486
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: Notre Dame is not in there for me.

487
00:24:50,040 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: So let me try to guess Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama.

488
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: Is Miami in there for you?

489
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: No? Ole Miss?

490
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: Ole Miss?

491
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: Interesting? I think Ole Miss is gonna be the You

492
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 3: know how in selection Sunday during the tournament you always

493
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 3: get that one trendy team and you don't want to

494
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 3: face in your bracket. Watch out for that's gonna be

495
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: all missed in a couple of weeks from now, when

496
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: when you see where they fall in your bracket, they're

497
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 3: going to be the team that nobody wants to play

498
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: because at Jackson Dart at quarterback and Trey Harris likely

499
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 3: getting healthy and being able to play in a defensive line,

500
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 3: and that's really really good. The team I'm kind of

501
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: on the fence within that group of six is Texas because,

502
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: like I said, they don't have a win.

503
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: A lot of people are fading Texas all of a sudden.

504
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: Huh. I took them a couple of days ago at

505
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: plus six 't eighty to miss the playoff, Justine. Just

506
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 3: in case they go to college station and lose, and

507
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: you looking at that resume, they're not gonna win a

508
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: resume battle with anyone. But without a win over anybody good,

509
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: just like Indiana doesn't have a win over anybody but

510
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: in Penn State right now, their resume is lacking. But

511
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 3: tech this is like if you you're it's not always resume.

512
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: At some point, discussion should be who are the best

513
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 3: eleven teams? Because you had to include the group of

514
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 3: five in there to make it the twelfth. Yeah, at

515
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: some point, if you say Indiana or Texas or whomever,

516
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: they're one of the best eleven teams or one of

517
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: the best at large candidates out here, they're going in. Okay,

518
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 3: that's fine, But in terms of a resume, their resume

519
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: isn't going to beat very many people, if anny at all.

520
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: So in case things get crazy and they go to

521
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: college station and lousher, why not throw a a little

522
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: pizza money on seven hundred dog.

523
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: It's funny that you say that, I just pulled up

524
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: the SEC standings, so Ole Miss is sixth in the SEC.

525
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: But you do think that there's some value in them. Now,

526
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: are they in trouble at Florida this weekend? I would

527
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: assume no. I don't think I bet the game yet.

528
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I did Florida give them in

529
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: billion AVI or a ton of credit because I think

530
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: people thought by Halloween billion Napier was going to be fired.

531
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: That's right.

532
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And they went to DJ Lagway and he has

533
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 3: played better, and you could make a case that if

534
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: he did not get hurt against Georgia, maybe they beat

535
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: the Bulldogs Jacksonville that day, and then they came out

536
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: and they beat LSU for a great win. I just wonder, though,

537
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: that ole Miss front and that defense at front seven

538
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: is really good, and I think it's ultimately going to

539
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: be tough for Florida to move the ball consistently against

540
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: all Miss, and maybe they get a couple of big

541
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: plays here and there. But I do think Ole Miss

542
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: ultimately will escape games. Will with the win. Maybe it

543
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: won't be easy, maybe they won't win by by by

544
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 3: double digits and cover that big number. But what Florida

545
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: and Florida's gonna give them game?

546
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: You mentioned old miss. We didn't really talk about Jackson

547
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: Dart among the quarterbacks potential for the NFL. I haven't

548
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: seen enough of them. And I know it's a four star,

549
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: you know, Gatorayed Player of the Year and all that

550
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 2: fun stuff, and he started at USC, but is this

551
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: more of hey man, when you play with a coach

552
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: like Lane Kiffen, you're gonna put up insane numbers. Because

553
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: there was a guy Matt Kerral a couple of years ago.

554
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 2: Remember he put up huge numbers, got hurt before the

555
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: ball game. I don't even think he's in the league.

556
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: What's your read on Dart as a pro?

557
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: I think you'll get some looks. I mean, look, I

558
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: am not someone who thought Bonnix was going to go

559
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: on and have a good rookie year at all, and

560
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 3: he has proved me yes. And I wonder if maybe

561
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: there are some similarities with a veteran player who's been

562
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 3: to a couple of different programs now and worked in

563
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: a couple of different systems, and I've gotten the experience.

564
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: He's older, he's more mature. Maybe that will bode well

565
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: for him. I mean, if he falls into the right

566
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 3: system and the right situation, sure, why not? I mean that. See,

567
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: this is the conversation that I think NFL gms and

568
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: coaches in front office people are gonna have to have

569
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: when it comes to these quarterback classes. Are you better off?

570
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 3: Do you want to take a a Carson Beck in

571
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: late round one or early round two or you take

572
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: a Jackson Dart a little bit later and you work

573
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: on other areas of your team first. So I'm certainly

574
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: not opposed to a team taking a shot on Jackson

575
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: Dart day two.

576
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: All right, real quick? Last question is NFL related because

577
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: I totally forgot. There's one line this week that I

578
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: don't know what to make of it, and that's the

579
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: reeling Niners getting points in green Bay. Sanford has been

580
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 2: favored all season in every game, and now here they

581
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 2: are dogs in Green Bay, a bit of a revenge

582
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: spot after the playoff game last year. I did see

583
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: Kittles say he's playing it sounds like Bosa probably a

584
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: no go. Robert Perdy's digged up this is This feels

585
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: like a must win game for Shanahan. You go five

586
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: and six and they got the Bills next week. It's

587
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: starting to feel like it's over for them. No playoffs.

588
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: But I'm just curious anything on Packers Niners a game

589
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: that I don't understand.

590
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: I would I have been a Niners backer for a

591
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: lot of this season, probably too much, but yeah, this

592
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: is an absolute must win for them. At the same time,

593
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: I don't know how good Green Bay is. What have

594
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: they got four wings? I think at the gun this year? Yeah,

595
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: on the final play, Jordan Love has a tendency that

596
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 3: turned the ball over quite a bit. Is Ward back

597
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: this week?

598
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: Unclear? He's got the personal that they haven't really given

599
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 2: much light on what the heck's going on?

600
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, I know they had the tragedy, which

601
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: is awful, But I might go back to the well

602
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: one more time if this thing, if this kicks three,

603
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: I will absolutely grab three in San Francisco, just because

604
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: Kittle playing, I think would be it would be a

605
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: big booth for them, especially a party shoulder isn't great.

606
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think, if I remember correctly, I think

607
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: he pops up on the injury report with this at

608
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: some point last year as well, so we'll see. I

609
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: am still a believer in the Niners. Even though I'll

610
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: tell you what is good at a play caller an

611
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: offensive mind that Kyle Shanahan is viewed as man, he

612
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: makes some questionable decisions in terms of game management, like

613
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 3: that fourth and sixth at the forty two Lilight. Well,

614
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: ass like you get see with all those weapons he

615
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: gets six yards on a middling defense in the league,

616
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: the game's over. Yeah, he took Seattle two plays to

617
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,239
Speaker 3: get back to that last twenty seven yard punt. I

618
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: believe he cautious. Kyle can't help himself. And between that

619
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: and then giving games away against the Cardinals and the Rams, uh,

620
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 3: they've dug themselves a whole. Now they have the talent

621
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 3: ultimately to play themselves out of it. But we'll see

622
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: if that if that happens a loss this week and

623
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: they are and they are done, because there's no way

624
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: they're making there's know where they're making a wild card

625
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: at that point. The tie breakers down in that division

626
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: would not be great. So I guess do or die.

627
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: One of my buddies always says he it's a must

628
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: win situation. If you're in a must must win situation,

629
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: you must not be that good. We'll see what happened

630
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: to you.

631
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: They lose.

632
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: I you McCaffrey's miss missed more than half the season.

633
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: You know, everybody's hurt after the suit. They've had such

634
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: a run the last like three years. It's like the

635
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: NBA team that goes to the finals two or three

636
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: years in a row. You know that those extra sixty

637
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: playoff games are gonna wear you down in the next season.

638
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough. I just I don't know if

639
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: they can do it, but I do want to back

640
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: the Niners here. It's just I'm as cowardly as Shanahan

641
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: as when he comes to well he can't trust his

642
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: special teams because the kicker is a train wreck. Yeah,

643
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: so's It's been a tough goal. Anyways, Positive thoughts to

644
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: our Jets and obviously FeliCa. Enjoy Columbus the Big Game.

645
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,720

00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: Here's your best bet.

655
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: Good stuff from Chris Felika, aka the Bear. I love

656
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: how he is all into the gambling college football NFL.

657
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean, like, that's basically most of my wheelhouse every fall,

658
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: although this fall is winding down quickly. All right, let's

659
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: get to Thursday night football Stealers. Fresh off that big

660
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: win over Lamar and the Ravens, they go on the

661
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: road to Cleveland to apparently deal with some lake effect wins.

662
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the temperature. It says twenty to twenty

663
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: five mile an hour wins. Now, the temperature looks like

664
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna be high thirties, low forties, chants of showers.

665
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: It seems like weather will not be great. However, I

666
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: thought I was onto something. Grabbing thirty six and a half.

667
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: I was like, ooh, this is gonna go down to

668
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: like thirty three. Come on, it went down to thirty

669
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: five and a half. Now it's pop back up to

670
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: thirty seven. This is gonna be similar, I think to

671
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 2: raven Steelers last week. However, I did do some digging

672
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: around into historically, Yeah, the last five years, how have

673
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: the Steelers done the week after facing the Ravens. Now,

674
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: it's a little choppy because some of it is week eighteen.

675
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: You face them, and then you have to dig around. Okay,

676
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: we're the Ravens playing guys? Did this game matter? And

677
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 2: so there's three of two of those games you toss

678
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 2: out the week before the playoffs and then you look

679
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: at like the Tyler Huntley games, like, that's not the

680
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: same as facing a Lamar Jackson Ravens team. So the

681
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: data isn't anything concrete. It's this tiny sample size. However,

682
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: just think about it this way. They there were at

683
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 2: least four altercations where the refs had to break up battles.

684
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: We know the teams don't like each other. It was

685
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: a max effort game from both sides. Both teams come

686
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 2: out walking wounded, although Pittsburgh it seems like they're largely healthy.

687
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: High Smith has been ruled out, one of the corners,

688
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: Trice has been ruled out, and we saw a lot

689
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: of vets. Samulo I butchered that the guard. He has

690
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: not practiced all week, but he's gonna play. They're calling

691
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: it just a veteran rest. Same with Cameron Heyward on

692
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: the defensive line, Ogunjobie on the defensive line, like this

693
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: is an older, tired team. Again, I don't like anything

694
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: about the Cleveland Browns. That was my one loss in

695
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: the contest last week. I backed him. I thought it

696
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: was a good spot. Jamis revenge blah blah blah, and

697
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: they couldn't get out of their own way. It was miskicks,

698
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 2: It could not stop the run. It's tough to back

699
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: the Browns here. So I'm just gonna stick it under

700
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 2: thirty six and a half and ride that and hope

701
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: that it rains. And this is in the slop and

702
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: it's you know, thirteen ten, one of those kind of games. Obviously, listen,

703
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: this is not even the best sporting event on the

704
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: calendar tonight, because you know, I got my men's ley

705
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: championship game. By the way, I know you guys would

706
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: love to hear this. Richard Jefferson was I guess in

707
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: Bristol for NBA Studio on Wednesday night. I was watching

708
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: a little bit as I watched Giannis just destroy the

709
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: Bulls and then Nick's Nick Suns, and Richard Jefferson said, hey, yeah,

710
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: I'm hopping on a red eye after the studio show

711
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: and I'm headed back so I can make the championship

712
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: game that, my friends is bigger than Steelers Browns, which

713
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: it's not a marquee game. And in the NBA there's

714
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 2: not even any good games. They don't want to go

715
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: up against Thursday night football. I don't think I can

716
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: interest you in Raptors, te Wolves, heellow Ball, vus Kaid Cunningham,

717
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: you know, Lakers Magic but whatever. Anyways, so overall this

718
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 2: is I know I took some heat on social media

719
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 2: for saying, give me any Bengals Chargers type game over

720
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: Raven Steelers. I just like offense. I just do it's fun.

721
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 2: I like no weather being a factor. If it is fine,

722
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: I'll deal with that. I'll gamble on it. But it's

723
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: just tough for me to pick a side here. I

724
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: will say this because I have five guys on my

725
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: fantasy team on a bye this week. I'm starting Naja

726
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,959
Speaker 2: Harris and Jalen Samuels, which there's no way that ends well.

727
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Browns run defense shows up great. Neither

728
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: of them do anything, and I get smoked. I'm in

729
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: first place, but I mean, honestly, like five starters down,

730
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: I got no chance. So good luck to this seat.

731
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: I'll be rooting a little Steelers, but I don't want

732
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: points twenty one thirteen. That does that work. All the

733
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 2: key fantasy guys get points. I got Boswell the kicker.

734
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 2: You know, maybe he goes for another six six kicks,

735
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 2: although with the Lake effect wins, I doubt it. Anyways,

736
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: we'll enjoy the game tonight and we'll talk about it

737
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 2: manyana as well as a ton of college football. Honestly, guys,

738
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: my best college football season ever. It has been. It

739
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: has been extremely lucrative and a couple really good spots.

740
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 2: I like this week and then obviously next week, which

741
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: we haven't discussed. Shoot the Thanksgiving schedule. Obviously, we'll have

742
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 2: podcasts Monday and Tuesday, and I'm pretty sure yeah, and

743
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: Wednesday as well, But after that, I don't think I'm

744
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: gonna be podcasting. You know, we all need a break. Okay,

745
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: Herd is off the air Thursday Friday. I will be

746
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: hopefully offline little Detox hang out with the family, play

747
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 2: some board games, watch some television. I gotta go see

748
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: Gladiator this weekend before I get to next week. And

749
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: Gladiator is a must, right, gotta see that anyways, all right,

750
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: have a good one. I'm back tomorrow
