9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: folks at Tuscaloosa between now and ten hours from now,

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: we'll have rope burns from their rosary praying for the

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: best possible outcome. They watched from the sidelines today and

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: now they get to watch from the sideline Sunday to

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: see what the committee decides. And that's what I'm going

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: to attempt to do here in the next five minutes

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: is not tell you who I think should be in

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: or who deserves to be in. I'm going to try

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: to make a prediction as to who the committee will

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: put in. And you know exactly where I'm going with this.

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Is it going to be Alabama or is it going

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: to be SMU. And so for those who listen, selectively,

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: try not to because I'm gonna check a lot of

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: boxes here for starters. Let's ask you a question that's

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: not a rhetorical question. Would Alabama beat SMU? Yes, yes

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: they would, Yes, yes they would. Would SMU have beaten

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Georgia this year, LSU or South Carolina or Missouri? No, no, no,

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have. I don't think so. But BAMA beat

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: Georgia and LSU and South Carolina and Missouri. By the way,

28
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: SMU lost to Clemson Saturday night. Who lost to Georgia

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: and South Carolina? If you're scoring at home, the cumulative

30
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: record of Bama's upon was ninety two and fifty two,

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: forty games over five under. The cumulative record of SMUs

32
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: opponents were eighty three and seventy five. And uh, you know,

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: I get it. Who wore SMU's biggest wins. Louisville pitt

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: Okay had a prior to Saturday. Their lone loss was

35
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: a three point loss at BYU, a team that up

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: until last week was in the mix for the Big

37
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: twelve title game. Give it up to SMU. Eleven and two.

38
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: First year at a brand new conference, they were picked

39
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: to finish seventh and they defied the odds as it were.

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: So they had a good season. You know, they they

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: made it to their conference champions You get me. SM

42
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: had a very good season.

43
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: You know.

44
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: By the way, SME doesn't have a quote bad loss

45
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: like Alabama's twenty four to three defeat to Oklahoma on

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: their resume. Matter of fact, Bama finished for three losses,

47
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: but again they have a win over the SEC champ Georgia,

48
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: plus Missouri, LSU, and South Cairline. All those teams had

49
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: at least eight wins this season. See, I don't really

50
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: want to hear about bad losses because if you're gonna

51
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: tell me about bad losses, that means there's good losses.

52
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: And there's no such thing as a good loss. A

53
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: good loss is like a good kidney stone. But here's

54
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: the issue and where I think the committee is going

55
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: with this, and before I before I get to that,

56
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: I want to just talk something and about this laughable

57
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: SEC hate that people are just dying to hate the

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: SEC just because and they're living in the past, they're

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: living on a reputation. And in case you missed it,

60
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: on current NFL rosters the SEC, there are four hundred

61
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and thirty nine SEC players on current NFL rosters more

62
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: than any other conference. And it's not close. Fourteen of

63
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: the last twenty national champions came from the SEC. By

64
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: the way, if you want to go back to ninety eight,

65
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: the SEC has not only been a conference that's routinely

66
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: won the national championship, They've had five different teams do it.

67
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee did it, Ulics, you did it, Florida did it.

68
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: Alabama and Auburn have all done it. Even conferences like

69
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. Finally Michigan got through last year, but

70
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: only Ohio State Michigan. You get the picture early. You know,

71
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: let's not go down that road because we're going to

72
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: convoluted and the people who listen selective leader are going

73
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: to think I'm you know, some SEC hank and I'm not.

74
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: I try to keep it real here. A lot of

75
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: people make predictions and based on who they hope will win,

76
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: or what they think should happen, or what would best

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: serve their lives if it happened. There are objective truths

78
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: in our personal feelings when it comes to these five

79
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: minutes here, we're dealing with objective truths, all right. And

80
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: if the conference championship games mean nothing anymore. Well, that's

81
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: as wrong as rain I'm opening day. There has to

82
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: be some semblance of importance to these games, if not

83
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: even for seeding. You know, obviously you know the BYU

84
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: or checked at the Boise State UNLV game in a

85
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: lot the winner was going to the playoffs, the loser

86
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: goes to a different bowl game. Same thing with Arizona

87
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: State and Iowa State. And I guarantee you at Clemson

88
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: lost Saturday night, the committee was not going to take

89
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: a four loss team. So the games do matter, and

90
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: they also can set up buys, and they also can

91
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: set up you know, seeding and a home game or

92
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: all sorts of different things. So I don't really care

93
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: what ward Manuel said during last Tuesday's ranking show. I

94
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: guess you know. For me, it's clear Alabama played a

95
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: solid schedule. Finishing nine to three is commendable. The road

96
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: loss to Vanderbilt's understandable. The Commodores are a much improved team.

97
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I realized that twenty four to three to loss to Oklahoma,

98
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: it features Alabama's lowest Alabama's lowest point total since two

99
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: thousand and four, is a bad optic. There's a bad optic,

100
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: and you know SMU was largely dominated Saturday night until

101
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: they came up with seventeen fourth quarter points, fought incredibly

102
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: hard late against a good, not great good Kennon three

103
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: Clemson team almost took it to overtime. Almost almost doesn't

104
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: mean much. So where the hell am I going with this?

105
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: Who's it going to be SMU or Alabama? Not what

106
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I think it should be, not who I'm predicting it

107
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: might be. I'm going to try to read the mind.

108
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: And it's against the law to practice psychology without a

109
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: license of the committee. And when I get up Sunday

110
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: morning and we are all in front of our TV,

111
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: I believe I believe the number twelve seed will be

112
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: the SMU Mustangs. That's who I believe the committee will pick.

113
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: And here's what I think it's going to look like.

114
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Your first round byes will be organ as your number

115
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: one seed, right on schedule. Thank you, Penn State. I

116
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: bet two and a half units on that game. We'll

117
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: have feather gun here in about ten minutes. There's no

118
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: value in a torn up ticket. I'm not going to

119
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: take a picture lap. You know how I felt about

120
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Penn State. James Franklin's only one in seventeen now against

121
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: top five teams. Goregon's the fastest team in the world.

122
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Forget it's stupid, come on, stupid. I'm surprised they got

123
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: with an eight. Georgia will be the number two seed,

124
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: well deserve. We're going to talk about them a little later.

125
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying listen, this team's got the DNA, this defense,

126
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: there's no question their defense is worthy of a national title.

127
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: I know they'll be questions about a shaky offense, but

128
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: when you know the fourth quarter, in the final five

129
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: minutes roll around and the situation demand's greatness, Kirby Smart

130
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: and his crew they're great, and they did with a

131
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. So I think O're going to be one.

132
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: Georgia two, Boise State three, Arizona State fourth. All these

133
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: teams seem pretty straightforward. Remember, Boise State started the weekend

134
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: five spots ahead of Arizona State, and then they beat

135
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: in UNLB by two touchdowns Friday night in the Mountain

136
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: West Conference title game. Meanwhile, Arizona State dominated Iowa State

137
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve title game, and they were two

138
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: spots ahead of Clemson in Tuesday's rankings. Clemson did not

139
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: do enough to get a first round by and Boise

140
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: State will probably stay ahead of Arizona State because they

141
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: started out to day ahead of Arizona State and they

142
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: won by fourteen in their conference championship game. So when

143
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 1: December twentieth rows around, you'll have I believe number twelve

144
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: SMU at eleven and two the at large team face

145
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: at number five Texas the at large team. I think

146
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: you have number eleven Clemson, the a SEC champion, traveled

147
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: at Penn State as an at large team. The eleven

148
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: six matchup SMU Texas will be the twelve five matchup.

149
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: Indiana will be tenth. I know, Kurt Signetty's all pissed

150
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: off because you're gonna have to go to Notre Dame

151
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: and play the Notre Dame fighting Irish as the number

152
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: seven seed. They're both eleven and one. Just go there

153
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: and beat him, Kurt, I don't what the hell is

154
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: everybody talking about right front team got COVID. We're gonna

155
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: shut up. Just play the games on the field. Jesus

156
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: number nine, Tennessee, they'll be the ten and two at large.

157
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: They're dangerous. They visit Ohio State number eight and tell

158
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: me every one of these games don't have just a

159
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: phenomenal storyline. Really, SMU, they can validate their selection by

160
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: beating Texas. Meanwhile, Texas is they haven't didn't meet the

161
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: top twenty five team all year, sam U's twelfth, here's

162
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: their chance. I thought, I thought Steve Sarkisan did an

163
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: outstanding job though Clemson Dabosweeney sticks in. Can can James

164
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Franklin win a meaningful game? That's it? You know, Indiana,

165
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: you know they've suffered from this inferiority complex that everybody's

166
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: ripping them right and left. I think Doug Elif said

167
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: they should even be in the playoffs where they get

168
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: to play Notre Dame, which will be a phenomenal in

169
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: state game at Notre Dame. That'd be a hell of

170
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: a program builder to beat them, you know, wouldn't be

171
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: good for Notre Dame's coach, but they've had a good

172
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: year in the Ohio State Ryan Day. Can you imagine

173
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: if he's won and done. It's Tennessee teams for real.

174
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: Things are going to be interesting, right and some of

175
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: these head to head results are going to bring storylines

176
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: along with it. So there you have it. It doesn't

177
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: matter what I think it doesn't matter theoretically who would

178
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: be who if they played. Do I think Alabama would

179
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: be at SMU on a neutral absolutely, but the fifths

180
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: and butts for candy and nuts. You'll all have a

181
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,359
Speaker 1: merry Christmas, which is what just seventeen eighteen days away now.

182
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: So that's my prediction that I predict the comedee. We'll

183
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: pick SMU for the reasons I just gave, and we

184
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: shall see what we shall see coming up. Get your

185
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: pens and pencils ready. You'll be drinking from a fire hose. Fez.

186
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: We'll be talking a lot of NFL. But he wants

187
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: to revisit the college plays he made last week and

188
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: I got I tried to warn him on Penn State,

189
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,160

Speaker 1: Just hours away from Week fourteen of the National Football League,

206
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: the resumption after that Baffo Thursday night game between Green

207
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: Bay and Detroit. And you know him, you love me

208
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Candle without him. He joined this during football season, during

209
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: this time slot every Saturday night. Yep, it's time the time,

210
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: It's the physick fly. These are the five things.

211
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: You need to hear about. No with the only back

212
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: Toup Back Hilton Super Contest winner Steve Zig Here's Bernie Fredo.

213
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: All right, fez, So, I know there are multiple NFL

214
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: teams on buy this week, but be that as it may,

215
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: there's actually several plays I like you'll get to. But

216
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: I think you wanted to have a quick recap analysis

217
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: of the conference champion college football games based on some

218
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: wagers place heading into today. So why don't you take

219
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: it away?

220
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, MC clients are going to kill me.

221
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 4: Went onen four today, Bernie on college football plays, I

222
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: gave out and three and four I gave out early

223
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: in the weekend. You know, Closing line value CLV. We

224
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 4: talk about it all the time, and closing line value crashed.

225
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: And for me, I had Texas minus one twenty five.

226
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: They could have gotten there, but they didn't. I had

227
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: SMU plus one. They closed minus three. They could have won,

228
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: but they didn't. And probably the one I regret the most.

229
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: But as we've discussed in pre production, I penn Stay

230
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 4: plus four and it closed three. And of course James

231
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: Franklin can't win the big game. But you know, at

232
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: some point you get you beat the closing number game

233
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: after game, you're going to win. Where So they say,

234
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: I'm starting to question that at least this year.

235
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: I am, Well, there's a half seg so you want

236
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: to be a gambler. I would say this. I know

237
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: you're an NFL expert college I might have the edge

238
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: on you because I've been doing it so long, But

239
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: you just have a different situation than coms fence and

240
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: one side of the ball. You got better athletes no

241
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: matter who's playing, and maybe I got good closing line value.

242
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I actually got some freeze yesterday Organs legs three if

243
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: I had two and a half units time. So there's

244
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: marble fade on James Franklin. I mean, it's just death

245
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: taxes and James Franklin. Well, we'll just leave it there.

246
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: Any final thoughts about the upcoming twelve team playoff and

247
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: who you might like?

248
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: Oh, you know, and it's so freaking frustrating because of

249
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: course I like Oregon Minas three also, but I can't

250
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: go back to my clients and tell them late three

251
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: when I told them to take four man, that's a

252
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: very profitable middle and heck, the wrong game landed three

253
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: because Smooth wound up landing three. Thoughts. I think there's a.

254
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: Debate that's who was a favorite, so that doesn't count.

255
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: Should should SMU be in? SMU opened up a minus

256
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 4: one thousand favorite to be in. They're down to only

257
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 4: like a minus three fifty. This is the DraftKings. I

258
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: think this is a ludicrous because SMU played well today,

259
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: So you've got an eleven and one team versus a

260
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: nine and three Alabama team, And you really can't doc

261
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: SMU that much for losing basically playing almost on the

262
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 4: road against Clemson and they very close game. It would

263
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: be a travesty. The best example I can give, let's

264
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: assume Bernie I'm in. I'm they made me king, and

265
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: I'm in charge of putting teams in, and I put

266
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: in Alabama over SMU. I would never get another job

267
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: in this country. I'd be just ridiculed for completely incompetent

268
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 4: guys stupid. And yet somehow we're still worried. The odds

269
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: are saying there's a viable chance that they're going to

270
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: sell out and put Alabama in.

271
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: No, that's well stated. I don't know if you've heard

272
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: my opening. It's difficult to get in the mind of

273
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: the committee, but I'm fairly certain they will put SMU in.

274
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: Would Alabama beat SMU, Yes, they would. Would SMU beat Georgia, Missouri, LSU,

275
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: or South Carolina all those teams at eight wins, No,

276
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they would. Bama did that, and Bama

277
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: num Ley did that. Georgia and South Carolina'd be cleansing

278
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: the team. SMU lost to tonight, but SMU got to

279
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: the conference championship game, and they're going to stay true

280
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: to their model and this and this is just it's

281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: made for TV event. They do the best they can,

282
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: we're all gonna be watching. I just think Alabama is

283
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna be left out here? Would I leave them out?

284
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: No?

285
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: They're the better team. You'd agree they're the better team, right, Faz.

286
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 4: Yes, But if we're going to take the twelve best teams,

287
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 4: we just called Brad Powers and say just send me

288
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: your power ratings, it's the teams that have the twelve

289
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: best seasons that those are the teams that should make

290
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

291
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

292
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: No, And that's essentially what they're doing. And it begins

293
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: with championship based performance. So if you're the Big ten

294
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: champ or the SEC champ, or the Big twelve or

295
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: the Mountain West of the ACC, you're getting in. And

296
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: three of those five who got to the championship game

297
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: and yet lost like a Texas, like a Penn State,

298
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: et cetera, they're getting in as well. All right, let's

299
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: move on to the NFL, FAZ, because there's actually some

300
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: games that I really like this week, and I want

301
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts and then we'll get your best bets.

302
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: I want to start with Jaguars Titans. The Titans are

303
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: a team that can't find there. Took us with both hands.

304
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: They're laying four points, They're owing five at home this

305
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: year against the number. As a dog every time one

306
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: in seven is their last eight games. You dress them

307
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: up as a favorite. And I'm not a Max Jones hater.

308
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: I grab Jacksonville And for your thoughts on this game, yeah.

309
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 4: Down to three point twenty five. The market absolutely agrees

310
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 4: with you. My power ratings actually would lean to Tennessee.

311
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 4: But my power ratings are wrong because they're not incorporating enough.

312
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 4: How Will Levis does not take care of the ball.

313
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 4: And the special teams are so bad to the Titans.

314
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: This team gives up so many defensive special teams touchdowns

315
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: and Jaguars are still playing hard. I got nothing on

316
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: this game.

317
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: I passed so Panthers, Eagles. I'm seeing four teams out there.

318
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: Are we in agreement? There are four teams you can

319
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: grab now.

320
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: There were not anymore, but there will be tomorrow. It's

321
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 4: painted thirteen and a half. But if you just be

322
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: cool and you wait it out, you'll get fourteen.

323
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: I know, well I got it earlier today, and I

324
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: know we're going to be on the opposite sides of this, fez,

325
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: but hear me out. You know I feel about double

326
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: digit lines. And let's not forget the Eagles are zero

327
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: and five against the spread in their last five games

328
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: as a double digit favorite. All of a sudden, here

329
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: come to town, the plucky Carolina Panthers and Cuba Hubbard,

330
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: Bryce Young who's finding new life. They've covered four in

331
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: a row. And who do the Eagles play next week?

332
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: They play in state rival Pittsburgh. So I grab the

333
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: fourteen for multiple reasons. We'll see what happens. The Eagles

334
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: have been a double digit favorite twice this year, didn't

335
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: cover either time. I know you're on the opposite side.

336
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: To go ahead and make your case.

337
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: Well, I played the Eagles first half. This is available.

338
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: Draftings miss seven minus one twenty because a team that's

339
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: laying fourteen should not be laying seven on the first half.

340
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: That's just lay later and right now, yeah be later,

341
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: yeah yeah.

342
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 4: At least eight exactly. So that's just it's just not

343
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 4: being priced correctly. There have been enough fourteen point favorites

344
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 4: this year for the makers get it right. So I

345
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 4: just if you're about the Eagles, I would play it

346
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: that way. I can't imagine that Hurts is going to

347
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: be running in the fourth quarter if the Eagles are

348
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: up twelve, by example, So I mean, when am I

349
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: ever going to disagree with taking plus fourteen? But the

350
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: ability bet I made on the game with the Eagles.

351
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: First half, Oh okay, I'm okay, very good. For some reason,

352
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: I thought you you had liked the Eagles minus twelve

353
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: and a half on the sand off line, But I

354
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: stand corrected. Anyway, I like those two plays. Let's talk

355
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: about the Falcons and Vikings. Kirk Cousins and the Falcons

356
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: will never get any of my money. However, there's an

357
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: interesting factoid here, Fez. When Cousins loses two games in

358
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: a row, he's six to zero against the number in

359
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: their third game, and I believe they're catching what five

360
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: and a half Atlanta? What's the number in Minnesota?

361
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's up to six. You know. It is interesting

362
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 4: because I'll argue that, well, Kirk Cousins doesn't play in

363
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 4: the NFL anymore. There's this impost that can't throw the

364
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 4: ball any further than I can, and I'm a sixty

365
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: one year old former chess master, so great candidate master.

366
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: Sorry, so.

367
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 4: You've got a revenge game. Normally expect the quarterback with

368
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 4: the revenge coming back to his old stomping grounds is

369
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 4: going to have a big game. But I mean literally,

370
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: he can't throw the ball, so I can only look

371
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 4: towards Minnesota.

372
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: H I'm not going to be involved in that game whatsoever. Now,

373
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: if you played Boris Spasky, what would be the line?

374
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: Would you be? Like minus one sixty?

375
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 4: You know, I'm glad you brought this up because famously,

376
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 4: I'm the guy that lost to on the Purdue money

377
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 4: line Bobby Fisher. But Bobby Fisher could play me one

378
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: million times and he would beat me one million times

379
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 4: when there's that much of a disparity between chess players.

380
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: Just like I could play like like like a random

381
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 4: you know, person that just doesn't that's never studied, and

382
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: I would literally win every single game because there's just

383
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: no luck in.

384
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: Chess, right right, Well, you got to be you got

385
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: to protect that queen says, you got to protect queen

386
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: the king. The king well, ultimately, but once you lose

387
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: your how many how many chess matches. Do you win

388
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: when you lose your queen first zero against the good thing?

389
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you very much. Good night, folks. You

390
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: be a great audience, all right, fez on, we do

391
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: it all here on the show. Right. The Dolphins, we

392
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: know they're bump slayers fourteen and four against the number

393
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: and their last eight team at home when they are

394
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: favored by six, are more they're favored against. They're favored

395
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: by six against the Jets. I feel like the Jets

396
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: have mailed it in. No breeze Hall, no sauce, gardener,

397
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Fez need I say more. It feels like this is

398
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: a twenty eight to thirteen game in the waiting your thoughts, I.

399
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: Think it's going to be a twenty four to twenty game,

400
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: and I actually look to the Jets. Let me make

401
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 4: my case.

402
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: Go ahead, yes, sir, and.

403
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 4: You're spot on. Miami's just covered against two bad teams,

404
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 4: laying seven, all right, So they covered, and they played

405
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: very well against New England and against the Raiders. But

406
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 4: the Jets are better than those two teams, and those

407
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 4: two teams were catching seven. And before you say no,

408
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 4: the Jets aren't better their garbage. If you wanted to

409
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: bet against the Jets. You had so many opportunities this year,

410
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 4: including but not limited to Jets. At Pittsburgh, Jets were

411
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 4: minus three, Bernie. I know it doesn't seem possible, but

412
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh's better than Miami. So this is how much the

413
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 4: Jets have been downgraded. The Jets were playing three in

414
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh and now they're catching six at Miami. So the

415
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: market has thrown them into the dumpster fire can and

416
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 4: I'm going to buy low on those horrible New York Jets.

417
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's an interesting one. You got me on

418
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: that one says, Just for the record, you know, Mike

419
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: McDaniel likes to be a bumps layer. Last year, the

420
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: Dolphins played the Jets twice and they beat them by

421
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: a total of sixty four to thirteen cumulutes lead in

422
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: both games. You made it right, We'll see, We'll see,

423
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: all right. Another game that's got my attention. It's not

424
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: often that I like to lay seven, and I haven't

425
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: done it yet, but the Browns are one and twenty

426
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: straight up and six and fifteen against the number in

427
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: their last twenty one games in Pittsburgh, and I don't

428
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: want to hear about Jamis. He's two and three at

429
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: a start. They act like he's a second coming of

430
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: Giohnny Unitedson and five. This guy is a pick machine.

431
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: Him and Max Staff are pick six machine. As you know.

432
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: If I had a nickel for every time Jamis threw

433
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: a pick six, Elon Musk could be more in mylong

434
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: Can you make a case for the Browns here?

435
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: Yes, Jamis Winston is leading the NFL this year in

436
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: snow angels after a win. So unfortunately he made those

437
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 4: snow angels in Cleveland Stadium after beating these said Pittsburgh

438
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 4: Steelers on national TV. So they're going to be angry,

439
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: and Pittsburgh owns Cleveland, like you said, eight, there's my

440
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: six and a half's again. I go back to the

441
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. Bookmakers at Southpoint have it mina six

442
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 4: and alf So go lay the six ap with Pittsburgh

443
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 4: with a revenge. That's not too That loss was not

444
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 4: excellent point long ago. So Pittsburgh wins going away.

445
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, an.

446
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: Under the radar game. Though that's going to be dangerous,

447
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: it might end up being good for the books. I

448
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: have a funny feeling the New York Giants sneak up

449
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: on New Orleans Sunday. Your thoughts.

450
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 4: You know this is weird because I agree as well, neighbors.

451
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's going to play, you know,

452
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 4: the rookie wide receiver. Yeah, and he's really important. But

453
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 4: who are the Saints, especially without Taysom Hill, to be

454
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 4: laying five and a half big? So yeah, I mean,

455
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: the Saints are just the Saints are really bad. The

456
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: Giants are horrible, and the Giants are home. I mean,

457
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: it wouldn't shock it wouldn't shock me at all. The

458
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 4: Giants win the game at all. So Giants plus five

459
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 4: and a half the only way I could go.

460
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: I'm not betting, well, not for nothing. The Saints are

461
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: giving up like five yards for five yards per carry

462
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: on the ground, so you can run on this team.

463
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: Just just just saying, uh, Tampa Bay and the Raiders.

464
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: The Raiders have been Plucky's a dog. You get to

465
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: the end of the year. They're still playing hard for

466
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce. Not very good, but they're they're they're playing

467
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: hard and Tampa Bay is very banged up. So you

468
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: got a nice cozy seven point number there. I've made

469
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: a half point half a unit play on the Raiders.

470
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Yeah, I agree, and you can get plus seven.

471
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: It's not easy to find, but I think it'll be easy,

472
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: you know, tomorrow. And I know people don't like it

473
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: when I say this, but this is this is the

474
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 4: way it is. You want to win sports betting, you

475
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 4: need to get plus seven mins one ten. You can't

476
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: play plus seven miles one twenty, so you got to

477
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 4: have enough outs and just I'm sure it'll pop up tomorrow.

478
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 4: Like right now when I look on the screen, one

479
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 4: book has it and the Raiders are playing hard and

480
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 4: brock Bowers should have a big day against the Tampa

481
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 4: Bay Bucks defense that is nothing special at all. I

482
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 4: can see the Raiders putting up twenty three points on

483
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: Tampa and losing like twenty seven twenty three, or they

484
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: could lose twenty seven to twenty. So you got to

485
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 4: be sure to get the plus seven and not pay

486
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 4: extra big to get it.

487
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: And think about what you just said there. If you

488
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: can see the Raiders putting up twenty three points, your

489
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: team total is nineteen and a half. Maybe you look

490
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: at a team total over for the Raiders.

491
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 4: No excellent. I like that as well. I'll certainly endorse that.

492
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing that out there. I can't take credit

493
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: for firing on it. I don't know if it's going

494
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: to hit or not. But I like the way you

495
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: said that. And the Raiders aren't playing hard, They're giving

496
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: an effort, and can they score twenty points? I'm sure

497
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna fire on that play, all right. A game

498
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: that's caught my eye of the Arizona Cardinals laying a

499
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: field goal against the Seahawks. I always like teams who

500
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: can run the ball versus teams who can't run the ball.

501
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: The Seahawks cannot run the ball. They're twenty eighth in

502
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: the league. The Cardinals are fifth in the league. Home

503
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: game lightline. I've liked this Arizona team and Jonathan Gannon

504
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: all year long. You have this Arizona not cover this game.

505
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm baffled if they don't cover this game.

506
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 4: This is the only game I really like. I'm on

507
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 4: Arizona and I understand the line. I understand why Arizona's

508
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: only mis two and a half because power rating wise,

509
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: I make the game two and a half, but everything

510
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: benefits Arizona one. I'm not sure I have them as

511
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: a better team at home, and I'm laying less than

512
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 4: a field go. It's mis two and a half right now,

513
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 4: mice one ten at south point minus two and at

514
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 4: minus one fifteen at book Maker. Secondly, they've got recent revenge.

515
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: They just went to the Pacific Northwest evenly played game.

516
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 4: Murray threw a seventy yard pick six, so Seattle one

517
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: by ten. Stats were equal. And Arizona went to Minnesota

518
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 4: and they played them equal. In fact, they actually should

519
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 4: have won the game, and then they gave up. They

520
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 4: got outscored thirteen to three at the end of the game,

521
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 4: somehow lost by one point. So Arizona zone in two

522
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: and playing just fine. If you look at their first

523
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 4: ten games, for an they went six and four against

524
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 4: the juggernaut of Buffalo's Detroit screen Bays Miami with two.

525
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's unbelievable that they could be

526
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 4: six and four playing nothing but conten or teams in

527
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 4: middling teams like Rams or Bears. So Arizona's undervalued, the

528
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 4: defense undervalue. They face so many good quarterbacks. They're going

529
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 4: to wax Seattle here.

530
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: I really like Eric, I think so too. All right,

531
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: a game, I'm really conflicted on because it feels like

532
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: a mismagic excuse me Buffalo laying three and a half

533
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: at the Rams. Now, A couple things to note here, Fez,

534
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo's got Detroit on deck next week. In Detroit, They're

535
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: going to want to win both of these games because

536
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: they have designs on getting that home by Only one

537
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: team in each league gets to buy this year in

538
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and they have the tiebreaker against Kansas City,

539
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: so they can't falter here. I know some people are

540
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: calling in a look ahead game and all that. I

541
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: don't know how they look into guys' minds in the NFL,

542
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: But here's the point. It's a little scary to lay

543
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: the three and a half on the road, even though

544
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo is the far better team, So it's a stay

545
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: away from me. One final thing, Fez, the Bills are

546
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: own six against the spread in the first of consecutive

547
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: road games the last six times they've played back to

548
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: back road games.

549
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Yeah, you know, in six means they're one

550
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: and six. I don't really pay much attention to short

551
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: term trends like that. I don't like a team from

552
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 4: Buffalo that just had two feet of snow dropped on

553
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 4: them going out to La La Land and laying points.

554
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 4: I think that's that is a bad spot. We've used

555
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 4: to see New England, remember when they'd always go to

556
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 4: Miami with those great Hyman Sure, well then just hey,

557
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: it's sunshine, you know, and it's beautiful, and it's like

558
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 4: like it's a distraction. So I don't like that. But

559
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: having said that about the Rams, I don't want the

560
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 4: Rams plus three and a half against a really good

561
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 4: Bills team when if I fast forward to Thursday, you know,

562
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 4: the Rams are playing Thursday and they're playing the Niners,

563
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 4: and they're catching plus three lay one twenty at DraftKings.

564
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: The Niners aren't even in the same area code as

565
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 4: the Bills in terms of I got those teams separated

566
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 4: by like six and a half points in my power ratings.

567
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 4: So and you're going to spreads the same. So if

568
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: you want to beat and are almost the same. So

569
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 4: if you want to back the Rams, invest in the Rams.

570
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 4: Do it next week when they're playing a Niner team

571
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: that's completely decimated.

572
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: All right, So no more Matt Eberflus after that Thanksgiving Turkey.

573
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: See what I did there. Their offensive coordinator Thomas Brown

574
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: takes over. They had to San Francisco again. I know

575
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: the Niners are a shell of what they have been,

576
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: but you've got a nice little cozy three and a

577
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: half point number here. I am not involved in the game,

578
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: but I could honestly only look to the Niners your thoughts.

579
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: And it's down to three. I watch three point twenty five,

580
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 4: but you can get minus three, Bernie. And if you

581
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: like the Bears and I people listen. I don't want

582
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 4: they don't want this. They do not want me to

583
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 4: say this, but I'm going to say it because you

584
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 4: know what I can tell you. Go talk to one

585
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: hundred people that manage sports betting investment teams like I've

586
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: done in the past, and every all of them will

587
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 4: agree with what I'm saying. And yet Barney and the

588
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 4: Bars and everyone will disagree. They want to hear what's

589
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: the right side? What's the right side? So here it is,

590
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 4: And don't scream at me, because this is the truth,

591
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 4: all right. You can't handle the truths. But you want

592
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 4: me on that wall.

593
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: Jack the Bears.

594
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Bears plus four was the right side, and

595
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 4: then at the Niners, minus three is the right side.

596
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 4: And if you bet both of them. At minus one ten,

597
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: you have a very profitable middle. The Bears fire the coach,

598
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: but they've had ten days, and the Bears are healthy

599
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 4: and the Niners are very injured. But the Bears stink

600
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 4: and the Niners are average. So once that line hits

601
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 4: three and the Niners are home, there, I mean, no

602
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 4: one would debate the Bears are better than the Niners.

603
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 4: Think about this, and the Niners are home and the

604
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 4: lines down to three, now is the time you should

605
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 4: have laid the three with the Niners.

606
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the Niners are banged up, but they

607
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: still have a few good men. Faz, there you go,

608
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, folks. All right, two more Kansas City hosts

609
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers Sunday Night. All they do is win, win, win.

610
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: They're eleven and one. I don't make fun of teams.

611
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: There are eleven in one. A little later in the show,

612
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about I'm going to dissect the Chiefs.

613
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: I know, everybody, it's an oxymoron to say they're an

614
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: unimpressive eleven and one team. You can say that, but

615
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: they know how to win their back to back Super

616
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: Bowl champs. Nonetheless, I think you get max s effort

617
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: out of the Chargers here, and I feel like this

618
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: is another one score game, a light number. I'd be

619
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: more inclined to lay the four than grab it. But

620
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: it's a dicey game. Your thoughts.

621
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 4: I'm on the Chargers. The market disagrees with me. My

622
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 4: handicap is that I know Kansasity is eleven and one,

623
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 4: and I get it. In the Carolina game, they were

624
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 4: never threatened to lose the game, and as soon as

625
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 4: the game got tied, okay, God took over a quarterback

626
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 4: and marched them right down and scored. But there are

627
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 4: games they have won that the Chiefs didn't win their

628
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 4: opponents have lost. Similar to a basketball team where basketball

629
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 4: team's up one and their punts on the free throw

630
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: line and they break both free throws. That's happened in

631
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 4: multi sliple games, specifically Denver thirty five yard field goal.

632
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 4: Denver botches it and they get it blocked. Okay, the

633
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: Raiders are in position to kick a game winning field goal,

634
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 4: they botch it, get a penalty, and they don't wind

635
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 4: up winning. It's not that Kansas City did anything to

636
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 4: win those games necessarily, Okay, they blocked.

637
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: The field goal.

638
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: Give me a break, they're like ninety percent to lose

639
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 4: at that point. So because of that, the underlying stats

640
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 4: in this team are for the Chiefs, they're a five

641
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: hundred team. They're gaining five point three yards per playing,

642
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 4: they're given up five point four. My experience in the

643
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: history of the NFL, the only team that succeeded with

644
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 4: subpar stats with the Patriots because they did so many

645
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 4: other things right. And I don't think Kansas City does

646
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 4: all these other things right like Belichick and the Patriots did,

647
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 4: so I have to say the Chiefs.

648
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: So the Chiefs are one to thirteen teams or check that,

649
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: twenty three teams in NFL history that started at eleven

650
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: and one, but they have the lowest point differential plus

651
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: fifty four. That doesn't really bother me. This is what

652
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: will keep me off the Chargers. The Chargers have played

653
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: three playoff teams this you're Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City.

654
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: They're all in three. They've been outscored by a combined

655
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: sixty seven and forty three, giving up an after three

656
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards per game. So the Chargers are

657
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: a lot like Miami. They're bump slayers, but when they

658
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: step up in class. They're not the same team. Finally, Cincinnati, nowez,

659
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: I've always had a rule of thumb. When you get

660
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: past November and you have a team that's under five

661
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: hundred going on the road and they're laying points, no,

662
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. I'm not going to have a

663
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: team that's under five hundred lane points on the road.

664
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Dallas hasn't really quit. They're not very good. The five

665
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: and a half folks are little juicy? Is that way?

666
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: You see the number right now, Dallas catching five and

667
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: a half money.

668
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: Night, exactly five and a half. I think we might

669
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 4: get six eight if we wait. But I'm with you now,

670
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 4: I'm gonna use the rule of two to explain why

671
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are the right investment. Let's move this spread

672
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 4: two points in each direction. Since he was laying minus

673
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 4: three at Dallas, I don't think Bernie we blink is yeah, okay,

674
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: it seems it seems about right.

675
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: But they're under five hundred. Go ahead fast.

676
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 4: But they're the better team. They are the better team,

677
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: and they have the much better ratifications. We can make

678
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 4: the Bengals a favorite. But but if we move the

679
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 4: two points in the other direction, and we made the

680
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 4: Bengals a seven and a half point favorite, we'd be.

681
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: Like, what the f is this?

682
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 4: This is ridiculous. The Bengals have no defense. I'm not

683
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: even sure the Bengals, like you said, are better than

684
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. And the game is in Texas? Are you

685
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 4: kidding me?

686
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: So?

687
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 4: If plus seven and a half is a ludicrous number,

688
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 4: by definition, plus five and a half has to be

689
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 4: an attractive number. Also, we should bet Dallas.

690
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: Enjoy your day. We'll talk to you next week. And

691
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, all that stuff.

692
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 4: Okay, if you bet the college football and loss, just

693
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 4: just let me know. Come to Vegas. I'll buy your dinner.

694
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh there's some all right, Nick Jensen dropping f bombs,

695
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: So come on, buddy. You keep your kids with that mouths,

696
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: keep it to yourself. Love you, take care of pal.

697
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 4: Thank you, Berdie.

698
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: Coming up, final thoughts on the college football Saturday, which

699
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: was really quite a day, even even if you're just

700
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: a fan and you don't bet. I'm Bernie Frattle. We

701
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: are coming to you live from the Las Vegas Fox

Speaker 1: Sports Radio Tarrack dot Com studios. Keep it locked. You

703
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: listened to the Bernie Fraddle Show. On Fox Sports Radio.

704
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: Do're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. How We're back

705
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: at the Bernie Fraddle Show. Fox Sports Radio, coming to

706
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: live from the Tarrack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

707
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: A couple final thoughts following Saturday's conference championship slate Arizona State,

708
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: massive props, massive respect. They were one hundred and one

709
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: beginning of the year to emerge his conference champions For context,

710
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: he had the same odds as a New Orland Saints

711
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. Camp scadow Bow the first

712
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 1: Big twelve player in history to ever have fifteen hundred

713
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: rushing yards five hundred receiving yards in the same season.

714
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Here's the beauty man. Cinderella usually doesn't make an appearance

715
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: in the college football playoffs, maybe in the baseball basketball

716
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: playoffs March Madness, But the first year of this expanded

717
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: college football playoff, man, you get the Arizona State Sun Devils,

718
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: the plucky underdog, very much worth rooting for. I was

719
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: on I had Jared Smith onlist, and I told him

720
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: I thought that Arizona I felt like they win both

721
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: lines of the scrimmage. And they did, and they forty

722
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: five nineteen. They thrashed Iowa State. They lock up a

723
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 1: berth in the Big twelve playoff field. I think they're leaving.

724
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll jump Boise State. No, no, I don't.

725
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: They won't jump Bois State. They were five spots behind

726
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: and Boise State won by fourteen, so you can't do that.

727
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: But they're going to get a bye, all right. Give

728
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: it up to Kenny Dillingham. They were picked to finish

729
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: last in their league with the media. And this team

730
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: is for real, man. And when you got at Camp

731
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: scattable zero star recruit. His two scholarship offers were from

732
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: Sacramento State and William and Mary. All Right, they're going

733
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: to enter the playoffs in a six game winning streak

734
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: and they are for real. They will be a very

735
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: tough out. Meanwhile, I got some thoughts about Texas and

736
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: the resume they had, you know, some long stretches Saturday

737
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: that suggested they should have beaten Georgia. They won the

738
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: stats totaled by about one hundred and twenty yards, threw

739
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: the ball all over the lot, but eleven penalties for

740
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: ninety four yards. Two errant fieldgal attempts the usually reliable

741
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: Bert Auburn two picks by quinn Ewers that kept things

742
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: close enough for Georgia to close it out in overtime.

743
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: This eventual loss by Texas is going to have to

744
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: call some serious attention to their college Football Playoff resume.

745
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: I know they're in, but if you look at their resume,

746
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: they're their ranks second. There are no danger missing out.

747
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: They are in, but it's fair to ask whether they

748
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: deserve a first round by the long Runs have zero

749
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: wins over top twenty five opponents. They have two losses

750
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: to Georgia, who comfortably won by fifteen points on the

751
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: road in Austin and beat them a second time. Beat

752
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: Texas a second time with a backup quarterback. Frankly, if

753
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: you put Texas resume next to Semus on paper, looks similar,

754
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: but again, I think the SEC is a much different gauntlet.

755
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: They cannibalize each other. There you have it. I love

756
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: Oregon for making me look smart. I knew they would

757
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: pummel Penn State. That game was never in doubt. There's

758
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: a reason Oregon went out and got Dylan Gabriel in

759
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: the transfer portal and he torched Penn State for two

760
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: to eighty four touchdowns. Yeah, you can call it forty

761
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: five thirty seven. Penn State was never going to win

762
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: that game, but they did win respect. They did ruin respect,

763
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: they did play hard. But again, you know my model,

764
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a good loss. That's like

765
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: a good kidney stone. Speaking of good losses, how about

766
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,560

Speaker 1: It's that time. Mark Medina Medina Magic, our Fox Sports

780
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: Radio NBA guru and this particular conversation tonight should be

781
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: an interesting one because I think Mark, we have to

782
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: really start to dissect this entity called the Los Angeles Lakers,

783
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: and I have several angles from which I will approach this,

784
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: but I want to start by their recent patch, losing

785
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: six in a row. I facetiously said before the season

786
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: would surprise me if they didn't make the playoffs. Now

787
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: I give that maybe a ten percent chance, but I'll

788
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: stick to the fact I think they're playing team at best.

789
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Can you really base can you really blame their recent

790
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 1: bad patch because they don't have Austin Reeves on the floor,

791
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes or Jared Vanderbilt your thoughts.

792
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: Well, you don't discount it, But there's so many other reasons.

793
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: I think when you look at the big picture, Jared

794
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt being out the entire season has been a challenge

795
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: because Anthony Davis has been really their only front core

796
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: player and they're only good defender, and that correlates with

797
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 2: them being one of the worst defensive teams in the league.

798
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: But to your point, there's so many other things that

799
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 2: have contribute to this. The roster continuity hasn't really been

800
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: a thing. What it's been is that you're seeing a

801
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: collection of average players that sometimes have good nights but

802
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: can often have bad nights. You're seeing Lebron James face

803
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 2: father times on forgiving touch even more. He's still playing

804
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: a high level, but his three point range has have

805
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 2: a lot to be desired. Before the game against Atlanta,

806
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 2: I think he should shot a combined forty of thirty

807
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: one from the field in the previous I think eight games.

808
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 2: And then the other thing is that, you know, I'm

809
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: not going to pin this necessarily on JJ Reddick, but

810
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: the effectiveness that he had at the beginning of the

811
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: season hasn't been as strong as it was since then.

812
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 2: And so with that, you know, I think JJ is

813
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: going to have to find a way to keep the

814
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 2: team engaged because he knows his stuff, but riding the

815
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 2: highs and lows of every NBA game, at some point

816
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: it's going to have long diminishing returns, and I think

817
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: we saw that. And I think the last thing that

818
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: we I should discuss is that when you're really breaking down,

819
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 2: they're seven of last nine losses, it's been across the

820
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: board like four to the seven or by at least

821
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: twenty points. But then there are also some games against

822
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: Orlando and Atlanta specific or just came down to late

823
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: execution flub and you would think that would not be

824
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 2: a thing with the team that has Lebron. James Anthony

825
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: Davis had some roster cotton Odor so uh.

826
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: He checked a lot of boxes there. I hold the

827
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back to JJ Redick in a minute,

828
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: but I want to focus on Lebron. Look, he had

829
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: a six game stretch where he was, you know, averaging

830
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: less than five free throws forer game. He's not getting

831
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: the rim. Five percent of his shots are at the rim.

832
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: What did he miss seventeen threes in a row? Was

833
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: that the number something? So he can't really shoot threes anymore. Moreover,

834
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: I don't particularly like his body language, and can you

835
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: speak to that. I know it's against a lot of

836
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: practice psychology without a license, but look, you know last

837
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: year they went all in Champagne on the tournament. This

838
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: year they lose the end season tournament. He's a you know,

839
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: this guy is in suff you know, during the COVID,

840
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play a game not in front of

841
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: the fans. Of course, he did it right. Whoever came

842
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: up with the playing tournament should be fired the guy.

843
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: It's just insufferable. But I got to tell you without him,

844
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: and by the way, I'm all over the place, he remark.

845
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: But it's true that with Lebron off the floor, they

846
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: actually have a better plus minus. Is that true?

847
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 2: I need to look at the numbers here, but I

848
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: think it's safe to say that they're a better team.

849
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: Obviously when Lebron James was there. It's going to start

850
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: and end with how healthy and effective he plays. But yeah,

851
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: his three point shot has to get better. The body

852
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 2: language has to get better. I think when you're looking

853
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 2: at that Atlantic loss in particular, where you know he

854
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: had thirty nine points, but his shot selection left a

855
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 2: lot to be desired. He had some deep threes, including

856
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: the final ones that you're saying, Okay, there should have

857
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: been a better shot. But I will say, in fairness

858
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: to Lebron, not that he's got to play better. But

859
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: this whole idea with the Lakers was that they were

860
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: going to lean on roster Connuity Anthony Davis, so that

861
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: wasn't a Lebron James, and I think the one thing

862
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: that we have to keep in mind is he's going

863
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: to be forty December thirtieth, and he's already exceeded expectations.

864
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: He's still playing a high level. But any of this

865
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: idea from the Lakers or fans off only Lebron James

866
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 2: gets right, you know, things will be solved. They can't

867
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 2: operate that way because even if Lebron's doing all the

868
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 2: right things and maybe fixes some things here or there,

869
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 2: his body's going to wear out. And so I think

870
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: that they have to prepare and make roster decisions as

871
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 2: if this is going to be the sign of more

872
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: things to come with Lebron not playing out his best

873
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 2: And so what that means is Anthony Davis has to

874
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 2: take his game to an even higher level. And if

875
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: clearly the roster hasn't been consistent of healthy or not,

876
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: they got to make moves before the trade deadline to

877
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: put themselves in a better position to at least make

878
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So yeah, that's a lot of stuff to

879
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: unpack because there's not a lot of easy solutions on

880
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 2: how they execute those.

881
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: All due respect to Lebrown, I will never let his

882
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: age be an excuse. If he can't play anymore, stop playing,

883
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: all right. I know he's going to rue the day

884
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: because he's going to miss the spotlight a lot more

885
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: than the spotlight misses him. But I saw Kareem Abdul

886
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: Jabbar win a championship at forty I saw Kareem Abdul

887
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: Jabbar win a championship at forty one, and I saw

888
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: him get to the NBA finals in forty two. And

889
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: he was more spry at forty two than he wasn't

890
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: thirty two. He wasn't a punchline in a movie anymore,

891
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: so I will not allow him to use age. But

892
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: I want to go back to JJ Reddick.

893
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: Well, can I interject on that though?

894
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean sure, of course.

895
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: Look when you look at Kareem, he was able to

896
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: do a lessons more approach because but he's better off

897
00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: around him.

898
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, But Lebron says he's the greatest of

899
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: all time, no excuses. He had a different role. I

900
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: get it. He had an aging Magic Johnson, he had

901
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: James Worthy, Bryant Byron Scott. I get all that. I

902
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: get all that. But he filled a very capable role

903
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: and was very critical, especially in crunch time, in winning

904
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: those championships in eighty seven and eighty eight. So you know,

905
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,959
Speaker 1: Magic pulled a hamstring and Byron Scott got hurt before

906
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: the eighty nine playoffs, where the Lakers might have repeated.

907
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. I'm just saying, we're

908
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: going to keep hearing Lebron's age, Lebronze age. I get it.

909
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: I just don't want to. I just don't want to

910
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: give him a hall pass on right.

911
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 2: And here's where I fall on Lebron. When you look

912
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 2: at his time with the Lakers tenure, you look at

913
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 2: how you praise and criticize him in three facets, player

914
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 2: GM or attempt at GM, and a social media leader behavior.

915
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: I think that I think the social media leader behavior

916
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 2: and the attempts to exert roster influence those have all

917
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 2: been fair game. And there's been times where he's crossed

918
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 2: the line. Times the Lakers have enforced boundaries. But when

919
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 2: it comes to how he's played, I don't think that

920
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 2: he deserves a lot of scrutiny on that. I mean, look, yeah,

921
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: he's not playing at as high of a level as

922
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 2: he could this season. But what I'm getting at is

923
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: the scrutiny about Lebron mostly has less to do with

924
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: what he's doing on the floor than everything else off

925
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 2: on it. And that's my point, is that the fact

926
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 2: that he's had to play at such a high level

927
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 2: is indirectly an indictment that the rest of the Lakers

928
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: roster isn't good enough for him to take a back suit.

929
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: Well, look, he did have thirty nine points Friday night.

930
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: I know he's capable of stuffing more stats and blaming

931
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: everybody else. I like sparring with you, Mark. We have

932
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: fun with this, okay, So I mean what it's all about.

933
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: We're not solving the world's problems, know an, you know

934
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: some of them fair enough. Yeah, I'll talk it. I'll

935
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: take it all right. I want to flip to JJ Redick.

936
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: I really like JJ Reddick, But I want to go

937
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: back to a line I've overused, the elegant Chuck Daily.

938
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: Daddy Rich one of the when I grow up, I

939
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: want to be Chuck Daily. He told me, I told you,

940
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, coaching an NBA team is like managing an

941
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: adult daycare center. He didn't say that in the pejorative.

942
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: It's just that they're growing men with families that make

943
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: millions of dollars, and how you manage their egos and

944
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: create the conditions where they want to play hard for

945
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: you and not talk about you is difficult. I'm not

946
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: quite sure if JJ Reddick really has that gear basketball

947
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: like you. Through the charts, he checks every box, but

948
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,959
Speaker 1: there's a certain temperament. And I got to say, here's

949
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: part B of the question. I know I'm going to

950
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: bring down the house on this one. People don't think

951
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about. I'm not one hundred

952
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 1: percent sure all things considered, if he's truly an upgrade

953
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: over Darvinham, well.

954
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: It's an all fair game. But we let's break this

955
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: down to two parts. I think the short term, I

956
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 2: would say JJ Reddick is an upgrade over Darwnham, even

957
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: though the records are identical. We have to keep in

958
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: mind back to the Lebron conversation, is Lebron up until

959
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 2: this point last season was playing at a better level

960
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 2: because he's a year younger, and for all the roster imperfections,

961
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 2: they at least had Jared Vanderbilt available, you know, at

962
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: different points last season. And I think when you look

963
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 2: at that, JJ has had a more innovative offensive mind,

964
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 2: He's had better relationship capital with the players, He's you know,

965
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 2: made better in game adjustments as far as you know,

966
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 2: play calling, et cetera. But to the big picture, I

967
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 2: do see some of the the early honeymoon and excitement

968
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: and adrenaline rush of a new head coach fading. And

969
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: one thing that leaves me concerned for how he is

970
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: is that the highs and lows that he has that

971
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: swings every game, that's going to make him less of

972
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: effective as a coach as more time goes on. I

973
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 2: think in the first month of the season, it was

974
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 2: kind of seen as, oh, this is great. He cares

975
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 2: and there's a total buy in, and he's invested in

976
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 2: a job, and he's making this all these commitment and sacrifices,

977
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: and he's in it with the players. But it's an

978
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 2: eighty two game season. At some point you're going to

979
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 2: wear everyone out, including yourself, if your emotions are that high.

980
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 2: And he is the first to admit it before the season,

981
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: when I asked him, you know what he foresees the

982
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 2: biggest challenges, he said, managing the lows, and he's got

983
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 2: to do whatever he can to you know, be more

984
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 2: even keel about things, or else he's going to lose

985
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 2: all his hair, or at least it all turned gray

986
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: by the time April hoods.

987
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: So Sunday night, the Lakers host the Portland Trailblazer. I

988
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: believe they're nine and a half point favorite. Will you

989
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 1: be at that game?

990
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 2: Surprisingly, I won't. I made the going to go to

991
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 2: the Clippers Rockets game because we see the Rockets are

992
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 2: second to West right now. They're a team to be

993
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 2: reckoned with very much.

994
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: So they're a nice club. I just brought that up

995
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: as a throwaway question. I would expect the Lakers to

996
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: write the ship Sunday night and get a w go

997
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: to thirteen and eleven. But what message does that? You know,

998
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: what image does that send? If the Lakers lose a

999
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: home to the Trailblazer Sunday night, well.

1000
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 2: That would be terrible because the Blazers are one of

1001
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 2: the worst teams in the league. Right I don't think

1002
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 2: Scoot Henderson is playing. I know that there's obviously questions

1003
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 2: on whether Austin Reeves will come back, But to your

1004
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 2: earlier point, at least for Portland, his availability cannot depend

1005
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 2: a hinge on whether they beat the Blazers. They're thirteenth

1006
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference, they've lost three in a row. Yeah,

1007
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers should win this now. If they win against Portland,

1008
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: as isn't suddenly I okay, now they've righted the ship.

1009
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 2: It's more of they just bought some time to hit

1010
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 2: the pause button. So, yeah, they lose to Portland, there's

1011
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: gonna be even more questions to unpack that, you know,

1012
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 2: as if we haven't already unpacked all of them.

1013
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: You'll get to see a great game, I think Sonday night.

1014
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: The Rockets are are pretty good. They're fifteen and eighty.

1015
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: They're over five hundred on the road. The Clippers are

1016
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 1: fourteen to ten. The Rockets are a short favorite. Your

1017
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: thoughts Do you had some dealings with Houston lately? Didn't

1018
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: you want to share?

1019
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was able to connect with him on Aman

1020
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 2: Thompson earlier today at practice. Look, he's become one of

1021
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 2: the best defenders in the NBA. He has just so versatile.

1022
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 2: He can offend good perimeter players, front core players. He's

1023
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: incredibly fast, and you know, I thought it was cool

1024
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 2: to talking to him that he said that he considers

1025
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 2: himself one of the best best defenders in the league.

1026
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 2: And it wasn't just young man confidence. He is a

1027
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 2: guy that watch his film to look at you know,

1028
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 2: all these player tendencies like how they move their head.

1029
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 2: You know, are they a player that tries to foul

1030
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 2: be you know, how do they you know, try to

1031
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 2: use their dribble, et cetera. And so when you're looking

1032
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 2: at the Houston Rockets and they're, you know, stay in

1033
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 2: the Western Conference, it's technically fourth, but they were second

1034
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 2: before tonight's game, it's you know, only a game difference. Uh.

1035
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 2: They have a really good combination of good young players

1036
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 2: and veteran players like a Fred van Vliet and Imaduka.

1037
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he turned things around and with the Celtics

1038
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 2: before his own personal situation forced him out of there.

1039
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: But from you know, basketball standpoint, he is a really

1040
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 2: good head coach. And so while I would put the

1041
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder as the team that will get to

1042
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 2: the finals, I think the Rockets are a team that

1043
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: could challenge them at least in the Western Conference finals,

1044
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 2: or at least be a team that's the out in

1045
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 2: the second round.

1046
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: Well, i'ment. Thompson caught my eye as well. He's young,

1047
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: he's only twenty one, but he's highly productive. He's active.

1048
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't he didn't play in college where he comes from.

1049
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 2: He played overtime elite in the in the G League.

1050
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: Uh okay, So yeah, that that program he.

1051
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 1: Was like the fourth pick over the year before last, right.

1052
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that program is is no more.

1053
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 2: But you know he turned a lot aheads that over time,

1054
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 2: e leite for all the same reasons. And yeah, he's

1055
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 2: just been a spunk. I mean he is a guy

1056
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 2: that lives in the gym. You know, practice ended, you know,

1057
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 2: Sunday late morning, uh here at u c l A

1058
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: in LA and he was the last one out of

1059
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 2: the gym just trying to get a lot of shots up,

1060
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: both with the three point shots as well finishing at

1061
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 2: the room getting free throwers. I mean, he seemed like

1062
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 2: he's a real student of the game. And you know,

1063
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: even though he's confident saying, hey, he considers himself one

1064
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 2: of the best players there is. I think a humbleness

1065
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 2: to him as well as far as just how seriously

1066
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 2: he takes his craft.

1067
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: I think you got this Rockets team pegged. They got

1068
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: a nice plan to I've always liked Steven Adams. You

1069
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: got veteran guys, you got Dylan Brooks. I don't know

1070
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: a lot about the roster. Fred van Vliet I think

1071
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: he's on.

1072
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 2: The team, followed Albert Sengoon. I mean, don't look now,

1073
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 2: but people aren't comparing him to the next nikolejokicch And

1074
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 2: it's not just though, yeah European big man, but he

1075
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 2: has a lot of good fundamentals and he grew a lot.

1076
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: He's he's a six to eleven guy who's a walking

1077
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: double double. That says right there, fair Yeah, well, I

1078
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: mean again, these guys, these guys are productive.

1079
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 2: They and think about the Spurnie a few years ago

1080
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: when they were, you know, in the lottery. The imo

1081
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: on them is they have a bunch of talented young

1082
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: guys that are just trying to get their numbers and

1083
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 2: things that completely changed. And some of those players are

1084
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: still on the team. I mean Jalen Green most notably

1085
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 2: was seen as a very young guy that's talented, but

1086
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 2: does he early contribute to winning basketball? Well, this season

1087
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 2: he is season he was, and I think it helps

1088
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 2: that a you know, there's been more and more time

1089
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 2: for these young players have developed, but they have an

1090
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 2: infusion of good veteran players like a Fred van Vliet

1091
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 2: who came from Toronto. He won a championship there. Yeah, yeah,

1092
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 2: Steven Adams, great screen center. He doesn't play a lot,

1093
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: but he's a good you know, locker room presence, good

1094
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: practice guy. Dylan Brooks, I know you and I have discussed,

1095
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 2: you know, some of his antics, especially with Lebron. Yeah,

1096
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 2: but he is a good player. And so you mixed

1097
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 2: all that veteran talent with really good young talent. That's

1098
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 2: what contributes to winning basketball million percent.

1099
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: A couple other quick things. It looks like Steve Kerr

1100
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: in Golden State is moving some chess pieces around him now.

1101
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: Draymond Green will be coming off the bench. In the past,

1102
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: he's actually handled that role pretty well. What are your

1103
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? Why did he make that move?

1104
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 2: Well, he made the move because it was Jonathan Kaminga started.

1105
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 2: And you know, the Warriors calculus is that Jonathan Kaminge

1106
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: has got to have even more investment because he's the future.

1107
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 2: You know, the last few years they've been really intrigued

1108
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 2: with how he is as a defender, you know, as

1109
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 2: a front court player. His athleticism is off the charts.

1110
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 2: There are all have been growing pains with decision making

1111
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: and a shot, but he's been growing every season and

1112
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 2: so that was the calculus that they got to further

1113
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: lean into that so he can develop. I think the

1114
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 2: other part is that, you know, Steve Kurt ran it

1115
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 2: by Draymond, but I think he also came up with

1116
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 2: this decision thinking that Draymond would be on board with it,

1117
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: because you know, we can we can criticize Draymond all

1118
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 2: we want, and it's very fair game as far as

1119
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: the technicals and the ejections and where's the line that

1120
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 2: he should draw so that he can still be a

1121
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: very energtic defender. But one thing I'll give Draymond credit

1122
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: for is that he is a team guy and so

1123
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: he you know, he's he was on record after the

1124
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 2: game against Minnesota on Fridays, and he is totally on

1125
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 2: board with it. He cares about winning. He admitted earlier

1126
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: in his career he won't have had the same attitude,

1127
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: but he's very mindful that he's experiencing a full circle moment.

1128
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 2: Partly Draymond Green got to where he is now is

1129
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 2: because he got a starting job when David Lee was hurt,

1130
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 2: and David Lee was very professional when he lost his

1131
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 2: starting job to him, and I think Draymond's mind is like, hey,

1132
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 2: I got to pay it forward.

1133
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: Here on thousand percent. He's a thirteen year Vetnam Draymond.

1134
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: He wants to win. Look, I didn't trust the Warriors

1135
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: at twelve and three. I know they're good, but I

1136
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: think they're that good. Then they lose six to seven. Yeah,

1137
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: and so and by the way, for the I think

1138
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: they lost that game to Minnesota by like twenty So,

1139
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, but it's a long season. They're going to

1140
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: be in the in the conversation, and so final thought,

1141
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: it looks like the NBA will be returning to China

1142
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: next season for some games. I think that's kind of

1143
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,919
Speaker 1: a big development given what took place a few years ago.

1144
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt. Obviously we know how you know,

1145
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 2: there's a geopolitical conflict At twenty nineteen, when Darryl Morey,

1146
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: when he was with the Eastern Rockets, tweeted out, you know,

1147
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 2: very innocuous tweet just supporting protests in Hong Kong. But

1148
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 2: that obviously opened up a Pandora's box about you know,

1149
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of international incidents in China and how they

1150
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 2: see Hong Kong and the history of its independence from

1151
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 2: Great Britain, et cetera. And so you know, obviously the

1152
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 2: NBA is one of many multinational companies based in the

1153
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 2: US that has business types of China, so they're trying

1154
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 2: to be diplomatic here. Now. They did hit a pause

1155
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 2: on that, and so the fact that they did resume

1156
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 2: it for starting next season with having two pre preseason

1157
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 2: games with the Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Sun shows that,

1158
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 2: you know, there has been an improvement of relations. And look,

1159
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 2: the NBA, they're always going to be open for criticism

1160
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 2: because of the fact that China has an authoritarian government.

1161
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 2: But I think what we have to keep in mind

1162
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 2: or two things. One, there's so many multinational companies in

1163
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 2: the US to do business with China.

1164
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: The owner of the next did the preseason game. They're

1165
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: going to play the Adelson family. I believe they own

1166
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: an arena there, don't they.

1167
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And the second thing is, even though it

1168
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 2: it did seem a little tone deaf, when you know,

1169
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: the NBA was separating itself from Darryl Moury was an

1170
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 2: innocuous suite of supporting, you know, democrat democratic movement. You know,

1171
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 2: I will say that the NBA also resisted any pressure

1172
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 2: from China about you know, putting any disciplinary action on

1173
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Darryl Moury, whether it was you know, financial or you know,

1174
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 2: getting rid of them entirely. You know, the NBA made

1175
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 2: it clear that, you know, the Houston Rockets are their

1176
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 2: own organization. And obviously Daryl Morey has since gone to Philadelphia.

1177
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 2: But the NBA, in their mind felt like that they

1178
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 2: still stood up for their employees by saying, hey, we're

1179
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 2: not going to allow a different country to impose how

1180
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 2: we're going to handle personnel.

1181
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Well, the irony, ever so quickly is that the Rockets

1182
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: became taboo in China, and the irony is one of

1183
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: the great Rockets of all time was the Chinese national

1184
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: hero Yao Ming.

1185
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 2: But that's right, Yeah, James Harden is a very well

1186
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 2: when he was achieved, and very popular player. I think

1187
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: the other thing, the reason why the NBA got so

1188
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 2: much criticism is, you know, they were known, especially during

1189
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: the times that we're in, as having athletes that spoke

1190
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 2: out on social issues and sometimes delved in the political realm,

1191
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 2: and so they felt like they saw some double standards.

1192
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 2: No doubt there's double standards. But I think you know

1193
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 2: the thing that we also have to keep in mind

1194
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 2: is that it's one thing for players to bring up

1195
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 2: about issues that they're familiar with in their backyard or

1196
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 2: you know, have gone through life experiences when it comes

1197
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 2: to social racial justice issues and much differently than trying

1198
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 2: to provide expertise or commentary on international affairs involving in

1199
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 2: another country.

1200
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: Well, I think maybe next week we can dive into

1201
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: this a little bit. My guess is this is an

1202
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: overture by Adam Silver.

1203
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 2: I love.

1204
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: I think the NBA would love to get that.

1205
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 2: To get money making venture.

1206
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: They want to get that Chinese TV market back.

1207
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, it's a business decision.

1208
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Sure, Mark, great stuff is always full plate, and I'm

1209
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: sure we'll have another full plate when we talk again.

1210
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: You take care, buddy, enjoy the rest of your week.

1211
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate you.

1212
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Thanks Mark. Mark Medina our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru.

1213
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: We have them on every Saturday night at midnight. Clearly

1214
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: you can see that Mark very much has his finger

1215
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: on the pulse. All Right, we have to start to

1216
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: shift toward the NFL. As we are nine and a

1217
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: half hours away from the resumption a week fourteen. I

1218
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: know everybody wants to bash the chiefs, you know, the

1219
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: chiefs that are eleven and one and the Chiefs that

1220
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: have won back to back Super Bowls, and if the

1221
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: playoffs started today would have the home field advantage again

1222
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 1: and a bye. Maybe there are two sides to the story.

1223
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Let's take a little look at the Chiefs and how

1224
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: teams in the past. Maybe who started eleven and one physical?

1225
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: But they weren't the Chiefs. So I want to take

1226
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,919
Speaker 1: off for the Chiefs for a minute. I'm Bernie Fraddle

Speaker 1: show posted right after we get off the air well

1240
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: heavy as the head who wears the crown, and obviously

1241
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs trying to become the first team

1242
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: to three peat in the Super Bowl era. Although if

1243
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: you're scoring at home, the Green Bay Packers actually won

1244
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: the NFL Championship in nineteen sixty six, and when Super

1245
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Bowl One was played on January fifteenth, nineteen sixty seven,

1246
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: they beat the Chiefs thirty five to ten, and then

1247
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: they came back and won Super Bowl two against the

1248
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Raiders thirty three fourteen. So they did win three in

1249
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: the row, but technicality, the first one was not actually

1250
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. It was before the official merger, and

1251
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: so therefore, long and short of it is, the Chiefs

1252
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: are trying to become the first team to win three

1253
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: in a row, and so far, so good. They've won

1254
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: two in a row, and they've started off this season

1255
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: eleven and one, but not without intense scrutiny, and the

1256
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: scrutiny sometimes starts to become laughable because they're not winning

1257
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: in a manner that's particularly dominating. I guess there are

1258
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: a lot of adjectives that describe how the Chiefs have

1259
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: continued to win games for the last twelve weeks. The

1260
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs end almost every game with some sort of narrow

1261
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: victory and some sort of perhaps maybe there's a little

1262
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: bit of magic dust. But look, there's an old saying

1263
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: in life. Man be at the right place at the

1264
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: right time, Comma and do something about it. Well, the

1265
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs take advantage of their opportunities. You can't penalize them

1266
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: for that. But if you must, you can't be called

1267
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: incorrect to call in the least impressive eleven to one

1268
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: team in NFL history. There have been since nineteen seventy now,

1269
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: there have been forty seven teams that have started eleven

1270
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: and one, But the twenty twenty four Chiefs and their

1271
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: point differential at plus fifty four ranks last now and

1272
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not even close. It's the second

1273
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: worst team. Going back to the seventy six Raiders, they

1274
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: started eleven and one. Their point differential was plus seventy four.

1275
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, they went on the stuff the

1276
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Vikings that year they beat the Vikings thirty two to fourteen,

1277
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: a game played at the Rose Bowl. That was Super

1278
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: Bowl eleven and I'll never forget because Fran targeted. That

1279
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: was the Vikings fourth Super Bowl loss and they've never

1280
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: won one. God great, good, great Viking team with Chuck Foreman.

1281
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: The quarterback was Fran Tarkton, and that following Saturday, after

1282
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings lost to the Raiders thirty two to fourteen

1283
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl eleven, played at the Rose Bowl, Tarkington

1284
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: was the hostess Saturday Night Live and he you might

1285
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 1: want to get a you might want to get a

1286
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: rim shot ready here by, because Fran Tarketin gets up

1287
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: and his opening monologue is, Hi, I'm Fran Tarkton, quarterback

1288
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Vikings. And you know, the Vikings have

1289
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: been to the Super Bowl four times in this decade

1290
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 1: and we've lost all four and you know what, we're

1291
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: going back next year and we're gonna lose again. Nicely done, Mark,

1292
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 1: nicely done. That's true, true story. But you can call

1293
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders lucky. I don't think it's all luck. If

1294
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: you look at each team's average winning margin this season

1295
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: and games that they won, the Chiefs five point seven

1296
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: points rankhead of only the Browns, Raiders, and Colts. Yet

1297
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: Volse three have the same number of combined wins. Eleven

1298
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: is Kansas City. So look at the end of the year.

1299
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: They don't ask Coyle just how many. I know a

1300
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: lot of times they look like they're playing with their food.

1301
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: They got to be mentally tired. I mean, this is

1302
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: amazing what they're doing in this day and age when

1303
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: the league is designed to bring parody. But I want

1304
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: to say this, I don't think it's all luck. The

1305
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs are one of just seven teams, along with the Lions, Bills, Eagles, Packers, Vikings,

1306
01:08:55,320 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: and Steelers, to rank top eleven in both offensive and

1307
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: defensive scoring, and their DVA is still above average on

1308
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Mahomes is still better than

1309
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: you think he is fourth and EPA, And despite questions

1310
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: sometimes about the Chiefs defense, didn't get any questions from me.

1311
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: They rank six in yards allowed per play. They also

1312
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: hold the second best Super Bowl odds to win it

1313
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 1: all again. So would you ask yourself, what city you

1314
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 1: live in, what team you root for? Would you trade

1315
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: places with the Chiefs? I bet you would. Now, there's

1316
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: only one or two ways this thing's gonna end up.

1317
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: Could they fizzle? They could? The Chiefs could fizzle. Remember

1318
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two Vikings. They were ten and two

1319
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: at this point nine eleven and one. Remember the Eagles

1320
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: last year they were ten and two, not eleven and one,

1321
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: But they shared very similar slim margins of victory over

1322
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,720
Speaker 1: the September, October, November, and into December games before their

1323
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: luck kind of ran out. The Vikings lost three of

1324
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: their final seven games Philly. Meanwhile, last year went one

1325
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: on six and both those squads lost in the wild

1326
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: card round. But remember they didn't have well, actually, the

1327
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Vikings lost at home to Daniel Jones, but that's not

1328
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: the point. They would didn't have Patrick Mahomes and Andy

1329
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Reid and Travis Kelsey in that DNA. Man, there's something

1330
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: about that red helmet. Something about that red helmet and

1331
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. You know, Casey Stangle, the Yankees were dominant

1332
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 1: in the fifties and went like eight World Series. Casey

1333
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Stangle said, Dude, teams can't beat the Yankees because they

1334
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 1: get stuck staring at the pinstripes. Well, I actually think

1335
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: teams are freaked out about the Chiefs too. I really

1336
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: mean that. I know it's the National Football League, but

1337
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 1: you get to those high leverage points in the game

1338
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: where the heat gets hot, it's hard to breathe, and

1339
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs seem to make all the plays and their

1340
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: opponents don't necessarily do that, so they could fizzle. They

1341
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: could fizzle. Who catches them and ain't gonna be Baltimore

1342
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: forget it. I know they got missed October Lamar Jackson.

1343
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: There's a reason they're eight and five. Ain't going to happen.

1344
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo could, but again when Buffalo go. Josh Allen is

1345
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: like Penn stateon James Franklin regular season Josh Allen, yes, sir,

1346
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: get him in the postseason. I think he's owned three

1347
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. So until they do it, until they

1348
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: do it, so will either fizzle, which I'm not banking on.

1349
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are really good, or they repeat.

1350
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 1: Now entering seven week seventeen. Last year, remember the Chiefs

1351
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: were only ninth in Power rankings. After a one score

1352
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: loss to the Raiders. The record was nine and six.

1353
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: Doubt had very much crept in, but then you saw

1354
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes again win the Super Bowl thanks to a defense

1355
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,440
Speaker 1: that stepped up a defense seventh and dbaa but cornerback.

1356
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: But look, I think it's a fool's errin betting against

1357
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, even though they don't cover every week, but

1358
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: until if somebody knocks them off, and so until somebody

1359
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: knocks off the champ I still think they can. They

1360
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 1: can threepeat. Can they beat the Lines on a neutral,

1361
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 1: Yes they can. Can they beat the Eagles on a neutral?

1362
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 1: Yes they can. Who in the AFC is gonna catch him?

1363
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's Baltimore. It could be Buffalo. I

1364
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,839
Speaker 1: don't think it's anybody coming out of the West. The styles.

1365
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: I look, just let's let it play out. So what happens. Listen,

1366
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: The likelihood is just land somewhere in the middle, all right.

1367
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: For their next five games are teams that have winning records,

1368
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: which means some of those one score games will could

1369
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: start to go the other way. But come playoff time,

1370
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,839
Speaker 1: I would be very dubious about betting against Patrick Mahomes,

1371

1385
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: as we do every week, who's trending up, who's trending down.

1386
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna dive into, as we do every Saturday, the

1387
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: current NFL playoff picture of the standings. If the season

1388
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 1: in the today, who where the you know, where the

1389
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: the seedings would be, Who would have to travel? Who

1390
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: would have a buye it says certainly we're talking about

1391
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: and will and we will absolutely start to dive into

1392
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 1: the matchups on the matchups, talk about some of the

1393
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: winners and losers from week thirteen, because that matters. We

1394
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: always look back before we look forward, because the NFL

1395
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: is very much a week to week league. But I

1396
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: want to take a quick hiatus. We do this every year.

1397
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 1: You know, I've always said, one of the three best

1398
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: things that can happen to you is get fired by

1399
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: George Steinbrenner. He'll pay you and your family for the

1400
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: rest of your life. I'll be hired by the Ford

1401
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 1: family in Detroit. The years I covered the team head

1402
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: coach GM whatever what Matt Million made what fifty million

1403
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: dollars there and they were fifty games under five hundred.

1404
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 1: The Fords were I thought, impeccable employers. They didn't pressure

1405
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: their people. They gave them the freedom to the autonomy

1406
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 1: to run their business. And you didn't even have to

1407
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: produce results. Third thing, you know, you lose the war

1408
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: in the United States, they'll take care of it for

1409
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: the next tenth centuries. But there's another one, another one

1410
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: if you're a fired college football coach. Oh yeah, oh yeah,

1411
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 1: back up. The bringstruck last year was really crazy because

1412
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: we had Jim Fish Jimbo. But this year's no slots either.

1413
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: We'll give you a quick roll call. As of last

1414
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon, fifteen FBS college coaches have been fired during

1415
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: the season or since it ended. Saturday schools owing. These gentlemen,

1416
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: oh nothing about forty million dollars. Now, it wasn't like

1417
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: last year where it was one hundred and eighteen million dollars.

1418
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 1: That was the record, but seventy six million of that

1419
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: was paid to Jimbo Fisher. Nobody's at silly again. But

1420
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: I run some of these numbers by. You tell me

1421
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,880

1456
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: Salary Tracker and other various reports and estimates. And look,

1457
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: there's also sometimes offset language, which means the schools don't

1458
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 1: know the full amount if the coach is getting another

1459
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 1: job somewhere else. But the truth of the matter is

1460
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: and no, probably more. But this is what it works, man,

1461
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't you know. You structure that contract so if

1462
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: they say we don't watch it anymore, you're gonna pay

1463

1475
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad it doesn't. But what if the NFL season

1476
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: ended today? What would the playoff picture look like? Were

1477
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: the standings matchups AFC you already know the Chiefs eleven

1478
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,560
Speaker 1: and one to the number one seed, followed by the

1479
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: bill Steelers, Texans, Chargers, Ravens, and Broncos. They'd all be

1480
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: in the tournament now, hanging on for dear life. But

1481
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: it's getting dimmer. The Colts and Dolphins both already have

1482
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: seven losses, so they're two full games behind Denver in

1483
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: the lost column. They're running out of time. The Bengals

1484
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: are four and eight. I think you could stick a

1485
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: four of them. And that's not even bother talking about

1486
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: the Browns, Jets, Titans or Patriots you get the picture,

1487
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 1: or the Raiders. The NFC you already know, Lions not

1488
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: the first twelve win team in the National Football League

1489
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: to beat Green Bay thirty four to thirty one on

1490
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Thursday night, They'll have they would have the bye as

1491
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: it stands right now, but hey, don't look back. Somebody

1492
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: could be gaining and by the way, the Lions got

1493
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo on deck next week. The Eagles are trending. They're

1494
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: ten and two. They're the number two seed, followed by this.

1495
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: It's a big drop off from there, big drop off.

1496
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: The Seahawks seven and five. I don't know if they'll

1497
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: hold on it win that division. They might the West

1498
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: they get Arizona Sunday. The Falcons at six and six.

1499
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: They're stinky. They're six and six, but they're the whole

1500
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: AFC South. What is with that division? You know, the

1501
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: Vikings ten and two. They'd have a lower seed both

1502
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Falcons because they're not leading their division.

1503
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 1: The Lions are the Pack nine and four of the

1504
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 1: Commandos eight and five, hanging on for dear life. The

1505
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:12,839
Speaker 1: the Bucks, Cardinals at the Rams all have six losses,

1506
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: which is one loss back from Washington in the lost column,

1507
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,639
Speaker 1: and they've they've already had their buy so they they've

1508
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:24,679
Speaker 1: played one more game. I think, you know, the Niners

1509
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: at five and seven, the Cowboys at five and seven mathematically,

1510
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: but come on, you know, I don't. I don't like

1511
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: their chances needed to you, So these would be the pairings.

1512
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 1: The AFC the Chiefs as it stands right now, they

1513
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 1: would they would get to sit the first one out,

1514
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: they'd have a buy and the Chargers at the fifth seed,

1515
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,959
Speaker 1: would visit the would visit Houston and play the Texans.

1516
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: The Ravens as the sixth seed currently, and I wish

1517
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: people would stop force feeding us on how great this

1518
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: team is. They're good, and they're they're pole rated high

1519
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: as they should be. But when it matters, show me,

1520
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 1: don't tell me, show me. They would have actually have

1521
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: to visit Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's currently the number three seed. Can

1522
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: imagine the Ravens being won and done this year. It

1523
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: could have happened, could happen. The Bills are the number

1524
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: two seed, David Host, those pecky, pesky Denver Broncos who

1525
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 1: are not bad, not bad. Over in the NFC, the

1526
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 1: number five seed Vikings would visit Atlanta as the number

1527
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: four seed, even though the Vikings have better record. The

1528
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: Packers would be the number six seed. They would visit

1529
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the number three seed Seahawks again even though the Packers

1530
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: have a better record, and give it up to the

1531
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. Dan Quinn and you know their stud quarterback

1532
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: they're the seventh seed. They'd have to go to Philadelphia,

1533
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: which would be not a lot of fun. But at

1534
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: least they're in the at least they're in the dance.

1535
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: So that's where things stand right now. You know, this

1536
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: season has really sort of been a season of comeback stories.

1537
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: I know that Russell Wilson stock was at an all

1538
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: time low in the NFL. He had back to back

1539
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: subpar seasons, but actually he threw twenty six touchdown passes

1540
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three against eight picks. But he you know,

1541
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: he was just not Sean Payton's guy. It wasn't gonna happen.

1542
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: But I know I told you this back in like

1543
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 1: in camp and in week three or four. He's a

1544
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 1: much better passer than Justin Fields, and Mike Tomlin took

1545
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: a chance on him, and he's been repaid. You know,

1546
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's actually been to a super Bowl and won

1547
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, been to two of them, and I

1548
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: know he's nowhere near that player now, but he's got

1549
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 1: something left in the cookie yard. He understands how to

1550
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,879
Speaker 1: play the position. And you cannot tell me the Steelers

1551
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: have not benefited from upgrading from Justin fields, he's okay

1552
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: to to Russell Wilson. And look, if you would have

1553
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 1: told me back last summer that in Week thirteen Wilson

1554
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 1: would throw for four hundred yards and he'd beat Joe

1555
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,560
Speaker 1: Burrow and the Steelers would be nine and three, I

1556
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: would say, I can see that happening, But none of

1557
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: you would have because you all hate the guy and

1558
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: so your personal feelings override your objective truce. The guy's

1559
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, Okay. I know he's a little weird

1560
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: out there and all that, and people resent him and

1561
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: they're not really sure how to take them sometimes, but

1562
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, hey, when they snap the ball and the

1563
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:21,679
Speaker 1: ball's in the air and then you know the bullets flying,

1564
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,600
Speaker 1: it's real. He's not a bad guy. And this is

1565
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: the thinnest position in all of sports. I want to

1566
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,879
Speaker 1: give a tip of the cap to second year quarterbacks

1567
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 1: Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson because they're trending up. I

1568
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: never gave up on Bryce Young. I want to see

1569
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: a guy get twenty eight starts before he's got too

1570
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 1: many pluses in my view. And you know, once the

1571
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: group think Echo Chambers starts running their mouth, it's over.

1572
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 1: They buried the guy, not me. No, I'm not you know,

1573
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's ready for Canton. I think he

1574
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 1: can play the position. I think he can be more

1575
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 1: than serviceable. I want to see how he does Sunday

1576
01:23:56,120 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. I'm not as nearly as high and Anthony Richardson,

1577
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 1: but I respect the man because he does mean business.

1578
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: And again, he's one of these guys whose default mechanisms

1579
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: to run. But he's made enough plays recently. And if

1580
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: you're our bench, unceremoniously in the anti Richardson's case, he

1581
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: has to be taken out of a game and then

1582
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: you come back and you compete, you have my respect, okay,

1583
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: And those guys are doing that, and I know. And

1584
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 1: by the way, it's funny because people also like to

1585
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: bash Cliff Kingsbury, you know, just because uh and I

1586
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: know a lot of people snickered last year when reports

1587
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: were put forth that the Raiders might be hiring Cliff

1588
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: Kingsbury as their offensive coordinator. Now they didn't do that.

1589
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 2: And guess what.

1590
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 1: Now those same people are criticizing the Raiders that they

1591
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't get Kingsbury. And Kingsbury joins the Commanders and you

1592
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: can't tell me to that that he has not helped

1593
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels and right on cue, somebody said, well, yeah, well,

1594
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: we're heading into December and that's when all the Cliff

1595
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: Kingsbury offenses go off a cliff and technically they may

1596
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 1: be right. And what does Washington do. They've go out

1597
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 1: and have one of their best offensive performances.

1598
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 2: Of the year.

1599
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: So, all of a sudden, again talking about a year

1600
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:16,839
Speaker 1: of comeback feel good stories, Kingsbury went from a failed

1601
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals head coach to possibly landing another head coaching

1602
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: gig in a two year span. I'm told the Bears

1603
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 1: might be interested in him next year. We will see.

1604
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful there's a comeback story that might be in

1605
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: the cards for Justin Tucker, who arguably the greatest kicker

1606
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 1: all the time in the NFL. But he's in the

1607
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: midst of the worst campaign he's ever had. He's got

1608
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do to change the tide.

1609
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 1: And believe me, Baltimore needs him. And you know, he

1610
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 1: cost the Ravens last Sunday and I don't know that

1611
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: they were going to beat Philadelphia anyway, but he missed

1612
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: three more kicks. It happens. Man, it happens. Maybe he's

1613
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: the football version of Ian Baker Finch. Look it up, right,

1614
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles are very much looking the part, all right.

1615
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 1: Not only did they pummel the Ravens last week, they

1616
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,919
Speaker 1: really started to expose a lot of the Ravens weaknesses,

1617
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: all right. And the Bills two weeks ago they beat

1618
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, then they had a bye week, and then

1619
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: they have a snow game that looked like a movie

1620
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: set against the once vaunted San Francisco forty nine ers.

1621
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: And where am I going with this? And right now? Okay,

1622
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: the two teams playing the bets that are looking like

1623
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: the most complete are the Eagles and Bills. Now, I

1624
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: guess I'll also throw the Lions in that category. They

1625
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 1: survived Thanksgiving from Chicago, and then they came out and

1626
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 1: they beat Green Bay. And you know, at the end

1627
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: of the year, they don't ask college just how many

1628
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: the lines are? Twelve and one?

1629
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 2: Right?

1630
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not necessarily saying the Eagles are better than

1631
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: the Lions, but I absolutely believe you if you don't

1632
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 1: think the Eagles are a legitimate threat to knock off

1633
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 1: the Lions. And what could be a collision course, those

1634
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: two teams could find each other on the same field

1635
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 1: in January, and at this point it would be played

1636
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 1: in Detroit. But it's not a lot that that happens, right,

1637
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that the Eagles and the Lions don't

1638
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 1: play each other between now and the end of the season,

1639
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: because they meet in the postseason, maybe even the NFC

1640
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: title Game for the right to go to the Super Bowl.

1641
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 1: Don't man, that would be exciting, That would really be exciting.

1642
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: The Eagles have a defensive unit that can at least

1643
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: perhaps challenge the Lions offense. I think on offense, the

1644
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: Lions have way more weapons than the Eagles do. But

1645
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know Phillies defense, you know, headed by

1646
01:27:56,120 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, They're they're proving very capable. Just that's Lamar Jackson.

1647
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: They couldn't do a lot against Philly's defense last week.

1648
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:09,560
Speaker 1: The Bills, I know, they're they're never gonna outlive you know,

1649
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: the damoclets that hangs over their shoulder. But they're all

1650
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 1: their past postseason uh disappointments, going to four Super Bowls,

1651
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 1: losing them all, having just an inability to get through

1652
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City and the reason you will never see me

1653
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 1: jump ship on Kansas City. Just from a practical standpoint

1654
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: is because I just feel like they're going through the

1655
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: motions right now and doing what they have to do.

1656
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 1: But when January rolls around, they're gonna flex. They're gonna

1657
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: flex now on paper and metrically, they're their struggles are

1658
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 1: slightly worse than they were last season. But remember they

1659
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 1: were nine to six at Christmas Day last year. Uh,

1660
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: they're still eleven and one, and I expect them to

1661
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: beat the Chargers someday. And yeah, you could. You could

1662
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 1: call out the Raiders. I checked that, you can call

1663
01:28:58,479 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 1: out the Chiefs and said, we have barely beat the

1664
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 1: It barely beat Carolina. It's just a bad omen. No,

1665
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 1: it's not. They won those games. Okay, they won those games.

1666
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: And so the bottom line is, you know, there are

1667
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting stories brewing again, the Cliff Kingsbury

1668
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: thing something to watch. Russell Wilson, he wants a second

1669
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring clearly what you want to continue to

1670
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 1: follow the progress of Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young. Both

1671
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: these guys were picked in the top four in the

1672
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three draft, both got benched. Both are having

1673
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,560
Speaker 1: comebacks and second opportunities, and so far they seem to

1674
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 1: be making the most out of all those opportunities. So

1675
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 1: it's a fun it's a fun season, and by the way,

1676
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 1: huge props. I don't think, with all due respect, I

1677
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: don't think the Chargers is exactly miss Tom to Let's

1678
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:56,719
Speaker 1: go and Brandon Staley, because anybody noticed that the draft,

1679
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: just from this past April, he's already, you know, this

1680
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: very first draft class for their GM. Joe Ortiz for

1681
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:11,599
Speaker 1: the Chargers is already paying major dividends their second round

1682
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,839
Speaker 1: to the receiver Lab McConkey. He's basically now justin Herbert's

1683
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: best target in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. Nine

1684
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: catches one hundred and seventeen yards. And I get it, Yes,

1685
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:25,600
Speaker 1: they could have elak neighbors, but Joe Alt, who was

1686
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: the number five pick overall last April, is basically now

1687
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 1: going to be a cornerstone for the Chargers at right tackle,

1688
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,920
Speaker 1: probably for the next decade. So you get a receiver

1689
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 1: who's got the kind of production I just said, and

1690
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 1: you got a cornerstone offensive lineman. You can't beat that. Right,

1691
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: They have another cornerback starting a rookie that was just

1692
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:49,639
Speaker 1: drafted treup Hill. They didn't get him down the fifth round.

1693
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:53,439
Speaker 1: He had one of the pick sixes against Kirk Cousins

1694
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: in the third quarter last week, returned it for sixty yards.

1695
01:30:56,520 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: Another rookie corner Cam Hart, also drafted in the fifth round.

1696
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: A cornerback for the Chargers, making plays right and left.

1697
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: And he's a big dude, man. He's you know, six three,

1698
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 1: two fifteen. And if you want to see the Chargers

1699
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four draft class on display, hey watch this

1700
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night football game against the Chiefs now As you know,

1701
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 1: there are you know what, for every winner, there's a loser,

1702
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: And that's just kind of like, you know, trite phraseology.

1703
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,799
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about some of the folks

1704
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,240
Speaker 1: who are not necessarily having fun in the National Football

1705
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: League this year, and we'll talk about that coming up.

1706
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Freddle. We are Company Lion from the Las

1711
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 1: tarret dot Com studios here in a Lat Vegas, thirty

1712
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: eight minutes away from the Dan Sensation sweep of the nation.

1713
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you? Followed by

1714
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,599
Speaker 1: what my name? I got a doozy tonight from Boston.

1715
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:14,840
Speaker 1: Some individual who wanted to see Tom Brady play so

1716
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 1: badly when he came back with the Tampa Bay Bucks.

1717
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: She's now going to be spending thirty months in jail.

1718
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:22,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to that brand new fool, followed by what

1719
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 1: my name here in about thirty eight minutes. The Falcons

1720
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: brand new fools for breaking the bank for Kirk Cousins

1721
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 1: and then drafting Michael Pennix and they don't even use them. Look,

1722
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:36,599
Speaker 1: the Falcons. The good news is the last left.

1723
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 2: You know.

1724
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: The Falcons are defense. They had their best performance of

1725
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: the year. Five sacks, didn't allow an offensive touchdown. But

1726
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: Cousins and his four interceptions that cost the Falcons her

1727
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:52,600
Speaker 1: third straight game. Who the hell does he think he is?

1728
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston. By the way, Cousins is thirty six years

1729
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 1: old now looking very much thirty six. Maybe hasn't even

1730
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: thrown a touchdown pass since November three. But you waste

1731
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 1: a first dround and I'd say waste because I covered

1732
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 1: the Lions for ten years and I covered ten drafts.

1733
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 1: You want that first round pick to plug in as

1734
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 1: a starter year one and say, this guy's going to

1735
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 1: be a starter for five years minimum. Okay, you got

1736
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:25,439
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks on the roster. One. I don't think he

1737
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 1: can play anymore. He's been poor for a while and

1738
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,679
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Cousins is going to be severely tested

1739
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 1: in Minnesota Sunday. The Vikings are obviously a team who

1740
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 1: know him well, and he's gonna face one of the

1741
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 1: most aggressive defenses in the league. One of the issues

1742
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,560
Speaker 1: with Cousins is funny because defensicksaid, he can't throw a

1743
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 1: pass anymore. He can't move anymore. Cousins has the mobility

1744
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 1: of an upright vacuum cleaner now, so we can't escape pressure.

1745
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,240
Speaker 1: That's a problem because then he goes into this gunslinger mentality.

1746
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 1: He starts throwing the ball to the other team. Falcons

1747
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: were really hoping Cousins could uplift them this year. He's

1748
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 1: throwing thirteen picks and they're you know, they're gonna have

1749
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:11,639
Speaker 1: to hand the keys to Michael Pennis. At some point.

1750
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 1: You drafted the guy eighth overall, what'd you do that for? Why?

1751
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:19,200
Speaker 1: Now I get it. The Falcons are six and six.

1752
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 1: Technically they leave the division and after the Vikings they

1753
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 1: get to play their Raiders, Giants, Commandos, and Panthers. So

1754
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: you know what, do you march panics in there and

1755
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: think he can help you? Or do you what do

1756
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 1: you do? I don't care what they do. I'm just

1757
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: pointing out that I think Cousins is a shot fighter.

1758
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: Right now, we'll see if he can make a layer

1759
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: out of me in Minnesota later on this afternoon. I

1760
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:46,080
Speaker 1: would not bank on it. I feel bad for Christian

1761
01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:50,040
Speaker 1: McCaffrey right snow. Games are fun, especially if you're getting paid.

1762
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 1: It's all fun of games and until somebody loses an

1763
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 1: eye or you lose your starting running back. Kyle Shanahan

1764
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 1: found out Sunday night after getting their butt kicked in

1765
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:03,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo confirmed that McCaffrey has a PCL injury. He'll be

1766
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,519
Speaker 1: probably shut down for the rest of the year. The

1767
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,680
Speaker 1: Niners are five and seven. Their playoff odds dropped to

1768
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 1: ten percent. They do get the Stinky Bears Sunday, but boy,

1769
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,799
Speaker 1: the odds for the Niners to get to the playoffs.

1770
01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:19,559
Speaker 1: They lose thirty five to ten. Hey, Mama said there'd

1771
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,160
Speaker 1: be years like this, right Brandon I who gets paid

1772
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: goes off a Cliff mac Jones or people can't wait

1773
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 1: to throw a brock Purty under the bus. There's another guy, Well,

1774
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 1: he's no good anymore. Didn't that his weapons? Well give

1775
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 1: me a quarterback out there, who does you know go

1776
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl without any weapons? Come on, please?

1777
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 1: You know I love Joe Montana also had John Rice,

1778
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:44,719
Speaker 1: Jerry Taylor, Roger Craig, and one of the best defenses

1779
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 1: in Bill Walsh. Okay, if you lost all those guys,

1780
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:50,160
Speaker 1: you might not have been Joe Montana. So the brock

1781
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 1: Purty haters, you're starting to get on my nerves a

1782
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 1: little bit. You've always been on my nerves actually, But

1783
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 1: that's not good for Christian McCaffrey. The Chargers. Look, they're

1784
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 1: eight and four, or they beat the Falcons last week

1785
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: seventeen to thirteen. Their defense is really stepping up under

1786
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 1: Jesse Mener, who also was the architect of that defense

1787
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 1: at Michigan. But I think if you're a Chargers fan,

1788
01:36:11,720 --> 01:36:16,599
Speaker 1: you should be worried, very worried losing. JK. Dobbins he's

1789
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 1: on IR with an mcl sprain. This is a team

1790
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:22,679
Speaker 1: built to run the ball, build around the run without JK.

1791
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:25,880
Speaker 1: Dobbins or not the same. And now Lab Maconkey's banged up.

1792
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know if the Chargers have a good

1793
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:30,640
Speaker 1: enough defense to go on the road in weather in

1794
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:34,639
Speaker 1: the playoffs, so they may start to trend down. Let's

1795
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: see how they do against Kansas City Sunday night. I

1796
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 1: expect Kandas City to win that game and probably cover

1797
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 1: the spread. We'll see the Jaguars two and ten. You

1798
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:50,759
Speaker 1: know what happened last week. Trevor Lawrence took a pretty

1799
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 1: brutal late hit by a ziz lsheer who's ejected and

1800
01:36:54,920 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 1: suspended for three games. And I think they're shutting Trevor

1801
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:04,679
Speaker 1: Lawrencetown for the year. And they're two and ten. Mac

1802
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 1: Jones came off the bench, not bad, twenty thirty two

1803
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:10,080
Speaker 1: for two thirty five, two touchdowns. They lost to Houston

1804
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty. And it's my belief that the

1805
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaggs plus four on someday. I don't know if

1806
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 1: you get four anymore. Tennessee, Tennessee, they can't find their

1807
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: butt with both hands there laying points. You dressed them

1808
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: up as a favorite. They're onwing five and against the spread,

1809
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:27,960
Speaker 1: and in the last five games at home this year

1810
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 1: and they were all as a dog. Now you dress

1811
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 1: them up as a favorite. I don't know, and I

1812
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell happened to the Bengals defense.

1813
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 1: My god, they're allowing a very good year by Joel Burrow,

1814
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:43,360
Speaker 1: who's played it honestly, has played an elite level every year.

1815
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 1: He can't help them win. And statistically Burrow might be well,

1816
01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 1: certainly a top three quarterback, maybe the NFL's best quarterback

1817
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 1: this season. And when you score thirty points in a

1818
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:58,840
Speaker 1: game four times and lose all four games, that's gonna

1819
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 1: make you have a bad day, right, Bengals are four

1820
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:04,759
Speaker 1: and eight, But they're four and eight because their defense

1821
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: has gone off a cliff. What the hell happened? I

1822
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I love their defensive coordinator, lou Anarrumo. They

1823
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:12,799
Speaker 1: didn't want to sign Jesse Bates, who's go off to Atlanta,

1824
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 1: big time playmaker. Defense goes off a cliff, So you

1825
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:22,120
Speaker 1: know the Kirk Cousins by the way, by the way,

1826
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 1: because I've really sung the praises of Kyler Murray and

1827
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon all year. Jonathan Gannon is the new coach

1828
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: in Arizona. But the Cardinals have at a wall in

1829
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:38,439
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks and they're now six and six,

1830
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 1: and their offense seems to be you know, somebody put

1831
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 1: a governor on their offense. And if you've got Kyler

1832
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,760
Speaker 1: Murray's your starting quarterback, I think you got to let

1833
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: them cook, right, Russ isn't the only one who can cook.

1834
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 1: I've always liked Kyler Murray. He seems healthy this year.

1835
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 1: He's a far more efficient game manager than people give

1836
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:59,640
Speaker 1: them credit for. But he remembers he's the number one

1837
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 1: overall pick back in twenty twenty nineteen. But it feels

1838
01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: like they've put they've put some rains on him, and

1839
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: I think he has too much athletic ability, too much town,

1840
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 1: too much playmaking ability, and they're paying him a fortune

1841
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 1: just to take the safe throws and and and be conservative.

1842
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's hurting Arizona. And they

1843
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 1: could have beaten the Vikings last week they lost twenty

1844
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 1: three twenty two. Although you know, I'm not behind the

1845
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: four walls there, so I don't want to. I don't

1846
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 1: want to be that guy. They have an offensive coordinator

1847
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: named Drew pettsing in Arizona. He's a very bright guy,

1848
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: and I think he's not the type of guy that

1849
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 1: wants his quarterback to be a playground quarterback. And in

1850
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:45,560
Speaker 1: that playground quarterback style, he has never really gotten the

1851
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals anywhere near the Promised Land. And you know last

1852
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: week Kyler Murray through a bad interception when all Arizona

1853
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:57,120
Speaker 1: needed to do is just get in field goal range

1854
01:39:57,800 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 1: to beat Minnesota, and they were, they were close to

1855
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 1: doing it. But look, they're still alive. The Seahawks are

1856
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:07,599
Speaker 1: seven and five if the coincidentally is the Seahawks player

1857
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 1: z on a Sunday and the Zona six and six,

1858
01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:13,240
Speaker 1: So the Zona wins I think to be tied, right,

1859
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:17,839
Speaker 1: But look, you got a first year coach and Jonathan

1860
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:23,639
Speaker 1: Gannon and maybe there's still adjusting to some things right. Finally,

1861
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 1: these guys are top of the dork list, Caleb Williams

1862
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: and Matt Eberflus. If you followed the Bears this week,

1863
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:36,679
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Thanksgiving. Grieber flu showed in the final

1864
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:44,439
Speaker 1: minutes that he might not be capable of operating at

1865
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: a high level when the game is on the line.

1866
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 1: There were multiple opportunities, multiple situations, incidents in twenty twenty

1867
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:54,720
Speaker 1: four where the Bears got into the final minutes of

1868
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 1: close games and Eberflus seemed to be again looking like

1869
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: the Mike McCarthy guy who's wandering around the mall parking lot,

1870
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 1: can't see where he parked his car. The Bears they

1871
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 1: lost those games of the Commanders and Green Bay Packers.

1872
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 1: One was because of a walk off Hail Mary, which

1873
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 1: is unforgivable that seemed to start the street and then

1874
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 1: a block field goal. Those were a couple of brutal losses,

1875
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 1: but that was a picnic compared to the final minute

1876
01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:25,679
Speaker 1: meltdown against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. And you can't

1877
01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:29,640
Speaker 1: exactly say that Eberflus protected his quarterback. He didn't use

1878
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: his final time out. The clock kept ticking, ticking, ticket,

1879
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 1: you're waiting, Will somebody make a decision? What are you

1880
01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 1: doing here?

1881
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 2: Right?

1882
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:41,599
Speaker 1: And then ibra Flus he couldn't take the time out

1883
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: back to Chicago. He couldn't even take his job back

1884
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 1: to Chicago, and ibra Flues it crossed his job that

1885
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 1: was the straw that broke the camel's back. Now everybody

1886
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 1: wants to call them. Maybe not everybody anymore, but they

1887
01:41:54,760 --> 01:42:00,679
Speaker 1: wanted to. Certainly want to call Caleb Williams a franchise quarterback.

1888
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:04,000
Speaker 1: He's nowhere near that yet. Yeah, and I get he's

1889
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:06,960
Speaker 1: a rookie. He's a rookie, but put him next to

1890
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels are bow Knicks. I don't think Daniels or

1891
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 1: bow Knicks would have taken a killer sack. Wasted a

1892
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:14,800
Speaker 1: bunch of time with the game on the line, tick

1893
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 1: tick tick, then defending themselves at the end of the game.

1894
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: Williams Kayla Williams has shown flashes and you know, he's

1895
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 1: kept his wits about him somewhat during the six game

1896
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: losing streak. Maybe he'll get better, maybe he won't. I

1897
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but I don't think they're having a lot

1898
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,200
Speaker 1: of fun in the twenty twenty four version of the NFL.

1899
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:37,560
Speaker 1: You know who is the Eagles. They haven't lost the

1900
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: game since September. They beat Baltimore last week twenty four

1901
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 1: to nineteen, the first time the Philadelphia Eagles ever won

1902
01:42:45,080 --> 01:42:48,160
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Give it up to Vic Fangio. He has

1903
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: a way of marching on elite defense. He's did it

1904
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:52,679
Speaker 1: for Jim Harbaugh back in twenty twelve when they lost

1905
01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: to the aforementioned Ravens. But this seemed to fly under

1906
01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 1: the radar. Vic Fangio and the defense he put on

1907
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:04,920
Speaker 1: the field for Philadelphia containing Lamar Jackson big time. Even

1908
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 1: Cooper dejan had a nice tackle on Derrick Henry that

1909
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: made the rounds. And Saquon Barkley, what a git. Really

1910
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:17,360
Speaker 1: really been a clutch season for him. I think he

1911
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 1: should be mentioned among MVP candidates. He now leads Saquon Barkley,

1912
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 1: now leads Derrick Henry in yards from scrimmage by over

1913
01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 1: two hundred yards on the season. You know, very quietly,

1914
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 1: there was a big deal about this. In twenty twenty two.

1915
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 1: The Vikings are ten and two and they find ways

1916
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 1: to win close games as well. They pulled one out

1917
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 1: a minute remaining last week. Aaron Jones touchdown, he caught

1918
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:45,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass gave the Vikings a twenty three to

1919
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 1: twenty two league and that was the first lead of

1920
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: the entire game. And that's where the score ended. And

1921
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, Jones had fumbled earlier in the game and

1922
01:43:56,439 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 1: Sam Darnell had kind of a resilient fourth quarter seven

1923
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,240
Speaker 1: to twelve for a buck fifteen in a touchdown. This

1924
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 1: bodes well for the Vikings. You know, do I think

1925
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:09,519
Speaker 1: the Lions are the leaders of the pack to go

1926
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:11,519
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Yeah, but the Vikings are one

1927
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 1: of only three teams I think they can beat him

1928
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:16,600
Speaker 1: the NFC, the Vikings, the Packers and the Eagles. And

1929
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they will, but I'm just saying I

1930
01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:21,040
Speaker 1: think they could. I really think those cluster injuries. I mean,

1931
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams had a good second half against the Lions,

1932
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: not because he figured out how to play, but the

1933
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 1: pass rush wasn't getting home. And the Packers put up

1934
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 1: thirty one the other night as well, so we'll see.

1935
01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 1: The Lions can very much get to the super Bowl.

1936
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:37,200
Speaker 1: But by no means is it a lock. No means

1937
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: give it up to the Colts. I was critical. They're

1938
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 1: now six and seven. Anthony Richardson doesn't really put up

1939
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 1: good numbers. He was twelve to twenty four for one

1940
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 1: hundred nine yards, threw a couple picks against the Patch

1941
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:53,760
Speaker 1: last week. But what it mattered most at the end,

1942
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:57,960
Speaker 1: he led another game deciding touchdown drive. And then you

1943
01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 1: gotta love what Shane Steikin did. Made the guts, he

1944
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:02,840
Speaker 1: call to go for a two pointer. He went for

1945
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 1: the win, and Anthony Richardson it was pure effort, it

1946
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:09,760
Speaker 1: was pure desire, willed his way into the end zone

1947
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 1: and the Colt sealed the victory. That is a feel

1948
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 1: good victory, one that you can build on. And I

1949
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 1: got to believe the Colts are are very enthusiastic at

1950
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 1: least you know about the way they compete and the

1951
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:27,479
Speaker 1: fact that they're not dead for a playoff spot. They

1952
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:31,040
Speaker 1: do have a bye this week. However, you know they

1953
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 1: went to Drake Main New England a few weeks ago

1954
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 1: and he continues to impress in my opinion, twenty four

1955
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:37,639
Speaker 1: or thirty last week, two hundred and thirty eight yards,

1956
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: threw a touchdown, he did throw a one pick, wasn't

1957
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 1: his fault, and after the Richardson lunge, you know, there

1958
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 1: were still twelve seconds left in the game and Drake

1959
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 1: may damn near brought him back. Joey Sly, I mean

1960
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:53,920
Speaker 1: they got in position. Joey Sly attempted a sixty eight

1961
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,559
Speaker 1: yard field goal as time ran out and damn near

1962
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 1: almost made the thing. I want to give props again

1963
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 1: one more time to Bryce Young. Yes, the Panthers. They

1964
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 1: lost to twenty six twenty three overtime game to the

1965
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: Bucks last week, but as Baker Mayfield put it, plug

1966
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:13,120
Speaker 1: your ears ear muffs, Young quote played his balls off.

1967
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 4: He did.

1968
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 1: Bryce Young was great. He's only four nineteen years the starter,

1969
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 1: but he's really showing improvement. Had one hundred and eighty

1970
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 1: six yards passing in the first half, through for almost

1971
01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:24,920
Speaker 1: three hundred second most of his career, and at a

1972
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: great catch by Adam Thielen. I liked the way I

1973
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 1: like Bryce Young. I liked him at Modern Day, I

1974
01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: liked him at Alabama, he went to a more bun franchise.

1975
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 1: Dave Canalis comes over as our head coach. Remember Dave

1976
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 1: Canalis is a quarterback. Whisperer just asked Baker Mayfield and

1977
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 1: the effect he had on Baker Mayfield last year in

1978
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay prior to that with Russell Wilson in Seattle.

1979
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 1: There's reasona believe Bryce Young is going to be Okay,

1980
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 1: let it play itself out. I want to see what

1981
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: he looks like after twenty eight starts and you know

1982
01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: not when he's part of a circus act. Steelers N

1983
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 1: one than three. You always knew they could play defense,

1984
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: but did you know they could put up forty four

1985
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: points in a game? Yep. They beat Cincinnati last week

1986
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 1: forty four to thirty eight, four hundred and fourteen yards

1987
01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:14,759
Speaker 1: of offense, three touchdowns from Russell Wilson. They're now averaging

1988
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:16,800
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety yards per game and twenty nine

1989
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 1: points a game since Russell Wilson took over. All due

1990
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 1: respect to Justin Fields is not a major league quarterback.

1991
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:27,879
Speaker 1: He's a world class athlete. He's not a major league quarterback.

1992
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:33,760
Speaker 1: His default mechanism is to run. He's not great on

1993
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:38,879
Speaker 1: pre snap reeds, processing coverages. Look, the position a quarterback

1994
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,560
Speaker 1: is as demanding as any position in the world. You

1995
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 1: have to combine intellectual ability, You've got to have physical attributes.

1996
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to evade large defenders adapt

1997
01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:53,080
Speaker 1: in an instant. It's a situation where you know, you

1998
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 1: make your post snap reeds, you make your pre snap

1999
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,479
Speaker 1: reeds to see if they match up. You have less

2000
01:47:57,479 --> 01:48:00,000
Speaker 1: than two seconds to execute, which is Justin Field's biggest problem.

2001
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 1: It takes too long to get rid of the ball.

2002
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 1: It takes too long to make his reads. He's not

2003
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:07,719
Speaker 1: on time, he's not on target. He takes off and runs.

2004
01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:10,360
Speaker 1: He left plays all around the field and give Mike

2005
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 1: Tomlin a first ballot Hall of Fame coach top credit

2006
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 1: for seeing what the offense could be with a guy

2007
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 1: who could actually pass. I get it. If you need

2008
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: to move your feet to keep a play alive, take note.

2009
01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:26,679
Speaker 1: I don't even think Justin Fields does that. He's willy nilly.

2010
01:48:27,040 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 1: If defense is in man to man, that's a green

2011
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 1: light to run north and south south. Since DB's are

2012
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,280
Speaker 1: typically facing away from you, except for the safety, it's

2013
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:38,599
Speaker 1: probably thirty yards away. But if the defense is in zone,

2014
01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:41,240
Speaker 1: roll latterly. Give your receivers a chance to sign a

2015
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 1: just the routes get open, create a positive play. The

2016
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,760
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is it's between the ears. It's

2017
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:50,559
Speaker 1: all about recognition and reaction. How quickly can you recognize

2018
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:54,639
Speaker 1: the defender's responsibilities, how quickly can you exploit it. It's

2019
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 1: a visual processing skill. Not everybody has it. As a

2020
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 1: matter of fact, very few quarterbacks have it. That is

2021
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: why Justin Fields has had such I think you know

2022
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: it's a difficulty in maintaining consistency. But Russell Wilson steps in,

2023
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:15,720
Speaker 1: and you see the numbers are just putting up three

2024
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:17,679
Speaker 1: hundred nine yards a game, twenty nine points a game.

2025
01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 1: We had. You know, somebody tweet at me, you know

2026
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:26,200
Speaker 1: he was Jeff. He tweets in full disclosure. I'm a

2027
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: diehard Steelers fan. I was cold on Wilson when he

2028
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:30,000
Speaker 1: first drapped, but no, I've warmed to him. I'd love

2029
01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 1: to see him be just getting started. I definitely want

2030
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 1: under the ring, but I'm a realistic fan. Stranger things

2031
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:39,519
Speaker 1: have happened. Yeah, there real questions going to be as

2032
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,679
Speaker 1: it stands right now. Who can stroll into Kansas City

2033
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 1: and win? Could Pittsburgh? Yeah it's not a zero, it's

2034
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 1: not a zero. Pittsburgh could do it. They could do it.

2035
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:52,880
Speaker 1: They wouldn't do it. Justin fields though. I want to

2036
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 1: give Jade and Daniels some props as well. He's been

2037
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,639
Speaker 1: a big reason why the Commanders are zero and five,

2038
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:01,280
Speaker 1: or checked that eight and five. They end their three

2039
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:04,320
Speaker 1: game losing streak last week in very dominant fashion. They

2040
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:06,439
Speaker 1: put up forty two points against the Titans, who are

2041
01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:10,880
Speaker 1: now he favorite this week. Yeah, three and nine I

2042
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 1: guess that the run game got going, which helped Daniels.

2043
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 1: But he carried the ball six times forty five rushing yards.

2044
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: But he also operates nights from the pocket, and you know,

2045
01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 1: he's a type of guy who is making pretty damn

2046
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 1: good decisions with the football and does what he needs

2047
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: to do. Finally, Leonard Williams not only has Seattle and

2048
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 1: now seven and five one to three straight, but you

2049
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 1: talk about a defensive tackle that's playing in a Hall

2050
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,880
Speaker 1: of Fame level over the past two games. Now he's

2051
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:43,720
Speaker 1: thirty years old, he's been in league a while. Last

2052
01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 1: two games, five sacks, six quarterback hurries, blocked an extra point,

2053
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 1: and the longest pick six by a defensive lineman in

2054
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 1: NFL history. Plus he had a crucial third down sack

2055
01:50:56,720 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 1: last week which helped the Seahawks beat his former two team,

2056
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. And this dude weighs three hundred

2057
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 1: pounds and he's helped you know, Seattle on their special teams.

2058
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 1: Look give it up. So these are the guys that

2059
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 1: are having fun, not having so much fun in the

2060
01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:18,320
Speaker 1: National Football League so far this year. And again there's

2061
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: that you know, there's still a long way to go

2062
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 1: in the season. There really is. They'll always remember what

2063
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:27,880
Speaker 1: you did in December. But you know, as far as

2064
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 1: difference makers, people trending up, people trending down, we'd like

2065
01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:37,599
Speaker 1: to cover this every week. Come back stories. There really

2066
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of really cool storylines this year. I

2067
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:43,800
Speaker 1: want to take a quick jump to baseball. Are they

2068
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 1: at some kind of gimmick again? It's possible. We'll talk

2069
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:49,920
Speaker 1: about it coming up. I'm Bernie Frattle. We are comedy

2070
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,639
Speaker 1: line from the Las Vegas Foxforts Radio Tireck dot com studios.

2071
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:54,720
Speaker 1: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show

2072
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, We're back on the

2073
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,759
Speaker 1: Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, coming from the Tarac

2074
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 1: dot com studios here in Las Vegas, just eleven minutes

2075
01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:07,360
Speaker 1: away from the dance sensation sweep in the nation. What

2076
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 1: kind of brand new fool are you? Followed by what

2077
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:17,160
Speaker 1: my name? Well, on the heels of the pitch clock

2078
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:21,360
Speaker 1: and the ghost runner and some of the other things.

2079
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:25,360
Speaker 1: Rob manfriend's probably feeling himself a little bit, and now

2080
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 1: he's got this other new fangle thought he marched out

2081
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:30,639
Speaker 1: the owner's meetings. But by the way, just to set

2082
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:35,320
Speaker 1: the record straight. We're nowhere near getting this implemented. But

2083
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 1: it's something he's calling a golden at bat. What is it? Well,

2084
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:45,719
Speaker 1: Manfred's idea is basic, once per game, once a manager

2085
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:49,599
Speaker 1: can choose to sit down whoever's on deck and instead

2086
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 1: send any batter that he would choose to the plate. Now,

2087
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: because this is in the conversation only stage, we're really

2088
01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent clear how the idea or the

2089
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 1: proposal will exactly work, and there are a few wrinkles

2090
01:53:05,479 --> 01:53:08,639
Speaker 1: right now. They might have an option where the only

2091
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:10,320
Speaker 1: team that is trailing in the ninth inn he can

2092
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:14,400
Speaker 1: use a golden bat where, or maybe teams can only

2093
01:53:14,479 --> 01:53:17,160
Speaker 1: use it the seventhing in or later. It's also not

2094
01:53:17,360 --> 01:53:19,960
Speaker 1: really been decided whether or not there be any restrictions

2095
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:25,400
Speaker 1: on who you can summon. For instance, let's say let's

2096
01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 1: say Shoho Tani's up and he hits a triple? Can

2097
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:34,240
Speaker 1: he can he come back and bat again? And what

2098
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 1: do you do? Who runs it third base for him?

2099
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:39,639
Speaker 1: So these are questions that I'll have to be answered

2100
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:44,600
Speaker 1: if this proposal starts to go up the flagpole and

2101
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:49,639
Speaker 1: gain steam. So when would this rule be introduced? Well,

2102
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 1: is it going to happen. There's absolutely no guarantee this

2103
01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:56,280
Speaker 1: is ever going to happen. It's very much in its

2104
01:53:56,320 --> 01:54:00,759
Speaker 1: embryonic stage in terms of discussions, and it's a concept

2105
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:04,120
Speaker 1: right now that Manfred has put out there. But here's

2106
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:09,400
Speaker 1: one thing though, that is real. It's very likely that

2107
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:12,920
Speaker 1: the minor leagues are going to start testing this because

2108
01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 1: they've been talking about something similar for a couple of years,

2109
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 1: and I would be I would expect that the minor

2110
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:25,479
Speaker 1: leagues will implement this in a test manner somehow, just

2111
01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:27,719
Speaker 1: like they've been doing robal umpires for the last three years.

2112
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 1: There's also talk that they would experiment with this concept

2113
01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:35,160
Speaker 1: during the Major League Baseball All Star Game. It's this

2114
01:54:35,280 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 1: is justin as a possible testing ground for the rule, right.

2115
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:42,760
Speaker 1: Manfred's quote was quote, most of the changes we have

2116
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:47,280
Speaker 1: discussed involved producing matchups in the context of an exhibition

2117
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:49,840
Speaker 1: game that the fans want to see the most, you know,

2118
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 1: more in terms of substitution and whatnot. I'm receptive of

2119
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:56,680
Speaker 1: those ideas in the context of an exhibition game. He's

2120
01:54:56,760 --> 01:55:00,320
Speaker 1: referring to the Major League Baseball All Star Game. Remember

2121
01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:02,520
Speaker 1: the time is long gone now where the winner gets

2122
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:04,640
Speaker 1: the home field advantage of the America to the National League.

2123
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they've done that since twenty eighteen. So

2124
01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: he isn't speaking specifically about the gold in a bat

2125
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:12,040
Speaker 1: or the All Star Game. You know what the hell

2126
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:16,960
Speaker 1: he's talking about, right. I don't dislike Manfred sometimes he's

2127
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 1: a very in artful communicator. Right, And not for nothing,

2128
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:26,160
Speaker 1: believe it or not. Ten years ago, this was even

2129
01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 1: Manfred's idea. It was a president for the Miami Marlins

2130
01:55:29,600 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 1: named Dave Samson and formally threw it out there, ran

2131
01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:36,640
Speaker 1: up the flagpole, and he was part of the competition

2132
01:55:36,680 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 1: committee decked ten years ago and the view was, look,

2133
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:42,520
Speaker 1: you guys are ruining the sanctity of the game, all right.

2134
01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:46,200
Speaker 1: The beauty of it is you you have these unsung

2135
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 1: heroes like Brian Doyle in the nineteen seventy eight World Series,

2136
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: it was his turn to come up. The reason you

2137
01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 1: have that in baseball is because everybody gets to bat.

2138
01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 1: But in football, not everybody's going to get the ball

2139
01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:58,840
Speaker 1: in crunch time. And in basketball and not everybody's gonna

2140
01:55:58,840 --> 01:56:00,400
Speaker 1: get the ball in crunch time. You get the picture.

2141
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:04,480
Speaker 1: When in baseball everybody has to bat, all right, and

2142
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 1: I think it would change the game. I don't really

2143
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 1: care for it. I think it's a gimmick. You'd have

2144
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:13,440
Speaker 1: to put I think very strict limitations on how teams

2145
01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 1: could use it, when teams could use it. I think

2146
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:18,040
Speaker 1: it fundamentally changes the game, all right. It might even

2147
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:20,960
Speaker 1: boost players stats if you what if you did this

2148
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:24,320
Speaker 1: every night for your best hitter, Mike, if you did

2149
01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:26,240
Speaker 1: it every night, you might get an extra one hundred

2150
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:30,320
Speaker 1: and fifty eight bats a year. Yeah, that might change

2151
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:32,880
Speaker 1: the record book as well. And here's the one thing

2152
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,120
Speaker 1: you got to ask, you know, how are some of

2153
01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:38,400
Speaker 1: the former players reacting to this, some of the current

2154
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 1: players reacting, of some of the managers, it's almost mostly negative.

2155
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Yuklis once said, not all change is great, all right,

2156
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: it's a roller coaster ride in baseball. You have the

2157
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 1: unexpected when everybody plays as opposed to these manufactured things.

2158
01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:55,720
Speaker 1: Plus you're baseardizing the game. So I think it's a gimmick.

2159
01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon. And let's

2160
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 1: face it be cute to talk about for some people,

2161
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:04,200
Speaker 1: but the gold in the bat is not going to

2162
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:06,680
Speaker 1: be here anytime soon, you know. What is brand new fooling?

2163
01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:08,960
Speaker 1: What my name? Keep it locked? You're listening to the

01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:41,240
Speaker 1: in the week. You know you love it. You can't

2174
01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:43,440
Speaker 1: leave without it. You see because here on the Bernie

2175
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 1: Frattle Show, our staff, good group, well as Jogiberia once said,

2176
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,720
Speaker 1: you can observe a lot by watching. That's exactly what

2177
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 1: we do because around this great land of ours, and

2178
01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 1: keep it around the planet or in the United States

2179
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 1: from seed to Oily Sea, we help people do things

2180
01:57:57,640 --> 01:58:01,480
Speaker 1: that we observe. And sometimes these activities, well there's somewhat

2181
01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 1: innocuous and kind of stupid and silly, gets you a

2182
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:07,880
Speaker 1: little trouble. Other times are far more serious other or

2183
01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:10,720
Speaker 1: instances where they can even land you in jail. But

2184
01:58:10,840 --> 01:58:14,200
Speaker 1: anyway you slice it, anyway you describe it, anyway you

2185
01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 1: characterize it, these activities, these behaviors, they always leave us

2186
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 1: scratching our head and asking ourselves, what kind of brand

2187
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 1: new fool are you? So? What kind of brand new

2188
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 1: fool are you? Well, this week we take you to Boston,

2189
01:58:37,480 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 1: the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts. You know, Tom Brady may

2190
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 1: have had a few fans or two, and some were

2191
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 1: willing to pay big bucks to go see him play,

2192
01:58:47,720 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 1: even if they didn't have the money. You see, one

2193
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: particular fan, Miss Stephanie, Well, she found out it was

2194
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna be about six thousand a ticket to watch him play,

2195
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:02,960
Speaker 1: and she certainly was able to come up with the money. Unfortunately,

2196
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:06,400
Speaker 1: the money wasn't hers. Courding An, NBC Boston. A federal

2197
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:10,720
Speaker 1: judge on Thursday sentenced Miss Stephanie to thirty months behind

2198
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 1: bars in three years and supervised released because she did

2199
01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 1: a little wire fraud and she'd been accused of stealing

2200
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:21,720
Speaker 1: almost five hundred thousand dollars from her employer, some of

2201
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:23,720
Speaker 1: which they used to fund her twenty twenty one trip

2202
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:27,760
Speaker 1: Kujillet Stadium where Tom Brady had returned. He was no

2203
01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:30,120
Speaker 1: longer a member of the Patriots. He was actually a

2204
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:34,760
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, this money that

2205
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 1: Miss Stephanie lifted over her period of six years was

2206
01:59:38,240 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 1: money she stole from a company she worked for. She

2207
01:59:41,120 --> 01:59:43,840
Speaker 1: was able to pull it off. She was an office administrator.

2208
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 1: She had access to credit cards, bank accounts, wrote bad checks,

2209
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:51,160
Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff. But now it wasn't just Brady.

2210
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: She blew this cash on like a hot tub and

2211
01:59:55,680 --> 02:00:00,360
Speaker 1: plane tickets, fifty thousand dollars worth of products or man Amazon,

2212
02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:04,200
Speaker 1: miscellaneous herbs and spices. Oh yeah, and she also paid

2213
02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:09,400
Speaker 1: fifty six hundred dollars for tickets to that Brady Patriots matchup.

2214
02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:12,440
Speaker 1: According to the US attorney, she cashed a lot of

2215
02:00:12,520 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: unauthorized checks, logged him in his payments to legitimate vendors,

2216
02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:20,400
Speaker 1: to legit vendors, actually in her employer's books. She was

2217
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:23,960
Speaker 1: also accused of altering other company records, et cetera, et cetera.

2218
02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Here's the kicker. Just six months before she started ripping

2219
02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 1: off this employer, Miss Stephanie had just finished serving on

2220
02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:35,080
Speaker 1: a prison sentence for close to swiping ten grand from

2221
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:40,560
Speaker 1: another employer second time around? Why not? So Miss Stephanie

2222
02:00:40,560 --> 02:00:41,920
Speaker 1: will spend the next two and a half years in

2223
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:46,600
Speaker 1: federal prison for her bad behavior and the financial and

2224
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:50,919
Speaker 1: emotional turmoil she caused her behavior or caused her employer.

2225
02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:57,000
Speaker 1: And it was so serious the FBI, the Boston Division

2226
02:00:57,040 --> 02:00:59,200
Speaker 1: of the FBI, even get involved. So hey, you may

2227
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:00,920
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, you may want to see me, you

2228
02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:03,960
Speaker 1: may be willing to fork out the money, but if

2229
02:01:03,960 --> 02:01:05,840
Speaker 1: it ain't your money, you're going to spend thirty months

2230
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:09,480
Speaker 1: in prison. Ms Stephanie from Boston. What kind of brand

2231
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:13,960
Speaker 1: new fool of you? All right, mister Shay always look

2232
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:14,680
Speaker 1: forward to yours.

2233
02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:19,280
Speaker 5: Well, this one is definitely a doozy. This is going

2234
02:01:19,360 --> 02:01:24,120
Speaker 5: to go to Conroe where Conroe ISD. Parents are unraged

2235
02:01:24,240 --> 02:01:28,200
Speaker 5: with student punished with restroom brand leading to an accident

2236
02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:30,640
Speaker 5: in the classroom. So when I read this headline, I

2237
02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:32,920
Speaker 5: was like, oh boy, how is this even a thing?

2238
02:01:33,440 --> 02:01:36,360
Speaker 5: They have to be at least like, what in fifth

2239
02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:38,160
Speaker 5: grade or something, because you wouldn't do that to someone

2240
02:01:38,280 --> 02:01:42,600
Speaker 5: very young. Supposedly the kids were in first grade. But

2241
02:01:42,760 --> 02:01:45,320
Speaker 5: let me let me give you some background here before

2242
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:48,680
Speaker 5: we do anything. Else, so conrou isd parents are expressing

2243
02:01:48,760 --> 02:01:51,480
Speaker 5: outrage after a message was sent home stating their children

2244
02:01:51,520 --> 02:01:54,440
Speaker 5: had lost the privilege to use the restroom because of

2245
02:01:54,520 --> 02:01:58,320
Speaker 5: a lost best restroom pass. The incident occurred at Bartlett

2246
02:01:58,360 --> 02:02:02,480
Speaker 5: At Elementary School in Conroe and has sparks concerns over

2247
02:02:02,560 --> 02:02:06,080
Speaker 5: the well being and treatment of students, especially young students.

2248
02:02:06,960 --> 02:02:10,640
Speaker 5: The controversy began when a first grade teacher, Ashley Berera,

2249
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:13,440
Speaker 5: allegedly took away the restroom pass from her class around

2250
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:15,880
Speaker 5: three pm on a school day, leaving the students unable

2251
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:19,520
Speaker 5: to use the bathroom for hours. According to Amber Johnson,

2252
02:02:19,680 --> 02:02:22,320
Speaker 5: a concerned parent, her daughter was in the classroom at

2253
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:26,320
Speaker 5: the time. It witnessed many classmates struggling to hold it in,

2254
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:28,720
Speaker 5: with some eventually soiling themselves.

2255
02:02:30,160 --> 02:02:31,800
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I know that. I mean.

2256
02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:34,240
Speaker 5: First off, when you're in when you're a first grader,

2257
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:36,760
Speaker 5: you lose, you lose things, you know what I mean.

2258
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:39,720
Speaker 5: So it's like the fact that a teacher would do that,

2259
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,280
Speaker 5: first off, is crazy to me, But the fact that

2260
02:02:42,360 --> 02:02:45,280
Speaker 5: a teacher did that to first graders is even more

2261
02:02:45,360 --> 02:02:47,240
Speaker 5: wild to me. But anyway, let me get back to

2262
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 5: the story. Amber Johnson's daughter so basically came out to

2263
02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:56,520
Speaker 5: say that some people were crying to death to go

2264
02:02:56,600 --> 02:03:00,080
Speaker 5: to the bathroom. And then parents, including Amber John's and

2265
02:03:00,160 --> 02:03:02,720
Speaker 5: were further alarmed when they received a message from the teacher.

2266
02:03:03,640 --> 02:03:06,080
Speaker 5: They literally got a message from the teacher saying that

2267
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:09,800
Speaker 5: the bathroom is no longer available to the students because

2268
02:03:09,880 --> 02:03:13,360
Speaker 5: of the incident of losing the bathroom pass. And then

2269
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:16,160
Speaker 5: in the wake of the incident, Johnson learned from other

2270
02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:19,360
Speaker 5: parents that six students ended up soiling themselves during the

2271
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:23,280
Speaker 5: entire ordeal. Initially they thought it was two, but no,

2272
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:28,360
Speaker 5: after an investigation, they found that six different students soiled

2273
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:30,680
Speaker 5: themselves in that single one day.

2274
02:03:32,240 --> 02:03:33,720
Speaker 6: What's going on with that teacher?

2275
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:37,400
Speaker 5: Absolutely nothing as of right now, they're just investigating to

2276
02:03:37,440 --> 02:03:40,680
Speaker 5: see what's going on. And the actual school district came

2277
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:45,000
Speaker 5: out with a quick little response stating, this afternoon, we

2278
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:47,360
Speaker 5: were made aware of a situation in a first grade

2279
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 5: classroom in which western privileges were revoked. I have spoken

2280
02:03:50,840 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 5: with the parents of both students who which turned into

2281
02:03:53,440 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 5: six who have suddenly had accidents. The class will have

2282
02:03:57,200 --> 02:03:59,440
Speaker 5: a current staff member to serve as a substitute teacher

2283
02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:02,440
Speaker 5: for the remainder of the week while complete our investigation

2284
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:05,280
Speaker 5: into the matter, this incident is not indicative of the

2285
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:09,280
Speaker 5: safe and loving environment we foster at barlat Elementary. I

2286
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:13,200
Speaker 5: thank you for your support and continued partnership. Nothing was

2287
02:04:13,240 --> 02:04:16,560
Speaker 5: basically done after saying that teacher kept their job, so

2288
02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:20,640
Speaker 5: as of right now, the investigation continues. Many parents are

2289
02:04:20,680 --> 02:04:23,160
Speaker 5: hoping that the school district takes swift and appropriate action,

2290
02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:26,840
Speaker 5: but as of right now, absolutely nothing has been done.

2291
02:04:27,280 --> 02:04:33,560
Speaker 5: So this leads me to say, teacher, whose name is

2292
02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 5: Ashley Barrera, what kind of fool are you? They're first graders, man,

2293
02:04:39,280 --> 02:04:41,440
Speaker 5: they're gonna looks. I was about to ask you that

2294
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 5: they're first graders, like they're good. It's crazy, like like

2295
02:04:45,400 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 5: I when I was expecting them to be in fifth grade.

2296
02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:50,360
Speaker 5: Oh maybe they're like they're trying to figure it out.

2297
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:53,560
Speaker 5: They're teaching them like like valuable lessons in life. But

2298
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 5: when you're in first grade, you can't even retain what

2299
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:59,840
Speaker 5: happened earlier that day, So it's like, what is this

2300
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:02,760
Speaker 5: person doing? Like it was just a crazy I mean,

2301
02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:05,480
Speaker 5: I have a first grade cousin and he doesn't even

2302
02:05:05,560 --> 02:05:07,760
Speaker 5: know what we watched thirty minutes ago, So it's like

2303
02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:10,720
Speaker 5: a bathroom pass is giving them that much responsibility, and

2304
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:13,080
Speaker 5: to just take it away and give them that much

2305
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:17,320
Speaker 5: of an insane like take it away bathroom like privileges

2306
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:19,920
Speaker 5: is crazy to me, which is like a human right.

2307
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:22,480
Speaker 5: Almost I thought it was a crazy story. I was

2308
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:25,480
Speaker 5: really upset to read it, honestly, but it was almost

2309
02:05:25,640 --> 02:05:28,280
Speaker 5: like hilarious that this teacher thought that that was the

2310
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 5: right thing to do. Watch out for those teachers, man,

2311
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:33,040
Speaker 5: they all made seem they're great. But who knows.

2312
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:41,280
Speaker 1: We suck again, by the way, not for nothing. We

2313
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:44,960
Speaker 1: all know. My mind doesn't always operate normally. So I

2314
02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:47,400
Speaker 1: think at one point during your narrative there, Shay, you

2315
02:05:47,800 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 1: implied that there were as many as five students that's

2316
02:05:51,680 --> 02:05:54,520
Speaker 1: actually six that had formulated a load in the shorts.

2317
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 1: If you get my grip, What the hell must that

2318
02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:02,760
Speaker 1: room smell like? That's what I probably it's actually Brera

2319
02:06:02,920 --> 02:06:04,960
Speaker 1: like got plug nostrils or something.

2320
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:05,600
Speaker 2: Is she like?

2321
02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:08,320
Speaker 1: That's good? That's like sado masochism.

2322
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:10,840
Speaker 5: Now it's it's seriously, But I mean, if you've been

2323
02:06:10,880 --> 02:06:13,600
Speaker 5: into a first grade classroom, Bernie, they usually smell like that.

2324
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Man, three three toughest years of my life, all right, good,

2325
02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:22,480
Speaker 1: good research, Shay, excellent, excellent, And uh, I guess you.

2326
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where Conra is. It's not Florida, right, I.

2327
02:06:25,680 --> 02:06:28,040
Speaker 5: Don't think it's I did some research, but there's so

2328
02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:29,800
Speaker 5: many different conros out there.

2329
02:06:29,840 --> 02:06:32,200
Speaker 6: I saw Texas, so I'm assuming.

2330
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:33,760
Speaker 1: It's in Texas. Here's a Conrod Texas.

2331
02:06:33,880 --> 02:06:36,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Texas was like the biggest one, so I

2332
02:06:36,560 --> 02:06:37,720
Speaker 5: was assuming it's just Texas.

2333
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:40,000
Speaker 1: But in the art, imagine a nice ninety four degree

2334
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:42,800
Speaker 1: day with eighty percent humidity and no air conditioned in

2335
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:47,640
Speaker 1: the classroom. Oh, six six six kids, you know, formulating

2336
02:06:47,720 --> 02:06:50,880
Speaker 1: a little uh, you know what I mean, a little soup,

2337
02:06:51,280 --> 02:06:53,880
Speaker 1: trying to the teacher won't let them go drop the

2338
02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:55,400
Speaker 1: kids off at the pool, so they just do it

2339
02:06:55,480 --> 02:07:00,880
Speaker 1: right at the right at their desk. Yeah, well, nicely done.

2340
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:04,839
Speaker 1: That will conclude another good job, good stuff, mark, nicely

2341
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:08,280
Speaker 1: done in that, of course, that concludes another rousing edition

2342
02:07:08,440 --> 02:07:10,600
Speaker 1: of what kind of brand new fool of You, which

2343
02:07:10,680 --> 02:07:15,160

Speaker 1: starting quarterback, have thrown more pick sixes in history than

2347
02:07:31,560 --> 02:07:35,120
Speaker 1: any other NFL quarterback. Mark Ramsey, what my name? He

2348
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:38,840

02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:03,200
Speaker 5: It was kind of a crazy story with him and

2421
02:12:03,200 --> 02:12:05,280
Speaker 5: all that he was the coach left there and then

2422
02:12:05,280 --> 02:12:05,560
Speaker 5: he was.

2423
02:12:05,560 --> 02:12:07,560
Speaker 6: Like, hey, like I'm excited to come and all I know.

2424
02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:12,400
Speaker 1: The whole story there was listen uh I reported and

2425
02:12:13,360 --> 02:12:16,280
Speaker 1: too many knuckleheads don't know what they're talking about now.

2426
02:12:16,520 --> 02:12:18,880
Speaker 1: It was never going to come to Fruition, apparently, but

2427
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:22,280
Speaker 1: urban Meyer visited East Lansing. He toured the campus. He

2428
02:12:22,360 --> 02:12:24,200
Speaker 1: spent a fair amount of time. At the end of

2429
02:12:24,240 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 1: the day, they didn't put the deal together. But it

2430
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a zero. He would have stayed if Erban Meyer

2431
02:12:28,360 --> 02:12:30,720
Speaker 1: had come and he didn't like the Guy's a nice guy,

2432
02:12:30,880 --> 02:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan C. Smith. But he's yeah, so this guy, I'm

2433
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:35,600
Speaker 1: out of here. He's no Kenny Dillingham though, No, okay,

2434
02:12:35,960 --> 02:12:38,520
Speaker 1: thirty four years old Kenny Dillingham. Oh he's so good.

2435
02:12:39,080 --> 02:12:40,760
Speaker 6: We'll have him for another ten years.

2436
02:12:40,920 --> 02:12:43,440
Speaker 1: I love this man, dude. I love this team.

2437
02:12:43,920 --> 02:12:46,839
Speaker 6: It's I love this team too. Bernie it's it's genuinely

2438
02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:48,120
Speaker 6: it makes nice so happy.

2439
02:12:48,600 --> 02:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I mean did they're they're we needed. First

2440
02:12:53,560 --> 02:12:54,760
Speaker 1: of all, they're gonna get a buye.

2441
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:57,520
Speaker 6: Yes, I think they'll be four. I think they'll be four.

2442
02:12:58,480 --> 02:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Uh, well, they're gonna be four for one reason. Boise

2443
02:13:01,560 --> 02:13:05,040
Speaker 1: State was already five slots ahead of them last week,

2444
02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:07,800
Speaker 1: and then they beat unov by fourteen in their championship games.

2445
02:13:07,840 --> 02:13:10,000
Speaker 1: So they're not going to fall, right, you can't plus

2446
02:13:10,040 --> 02:13:12,560
Speaker 1: their twelve and one yearsona State's eleven and two. I agree,

2447
02:13:12,680 --> 02:13:16,400
Speaker 1: they're they're comparable, you know, they're they're comparable teams. So

2448
02:13:17,600 --> 02:13:19,840
Speaker 1: we'll see who they get, who they match up with,

2449
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:23,080
Speaker 1: and you know all that kind of stuff. But look,

2450
02:13:23,680 --> 02:13:27,920
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, maybe not Oregon, but I

2451
02:13:27,920 --> 02:13:29,480
Speaker 1: don't there's no one else in this tournament. I don't

2452
02:13:29,480 --> 02:13:30,360
Speaker 1: think they couldn't beat.

2453
02:13:30,400 --> 02:13:32,640
Speaker 5: I think we can easily beat Texas. I don't think

2454
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:33,800
Speaker 5: Texas is an issue.

2455
02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:36,440
Speaker 1: I beat Texas hasn't beaten the top twenty five team.

2456
02:13:36,520 --> 02:13:38,320
Speaker 5: That's I'm what I'm saying. We've beaten more top twenty

2457
02:13:38,400 --> 02:13:41,120
Speaker 5: five teams or Power four teams honestly than them. And

2458
02:13:41,200 --> 02:13:46,440
Speaker 5: then we've also beat Okay, everyone's saying that Boise lost

2459
02:13:46,520 --> 02:13:49,480
Speaker 5: to Oregon, like that's that's the biggest thing.

2460
02:13:49,600 --> 02:13:51,640
Speaker 1: You know, Well, they didn't. If you watched the game,

2461
02:13:52,560 --> 02:13:54,920
Speaker 1: Ashton Jant ran for three scorers one hundred and ninety

2462
02:13:54,920 --> 02:13:56,360
Speaker 1: five yards. They competed.

2463
02:13:56,720 --> 02:13:59,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, they competed, But that doesn't mean that's the only

2464
02:13:59,760 --> 02:14:02,520
Speaker 5: argument that they lost to Oregon. So I'm like sitting

2465
02:14:02,600 --> 02:14:05,040
Speaker 5: here like, oh, you guys lost to Oregon, that's your argument.

2466
02:14:05,480 --> 02:14:08,080
Speaker 5: I'm just like, I think Arizona could go very far.

2467
02:14:08,120 --> 02:14:10,440
Speaker 5: I've been saying this for a long time, and I've

2468
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:12,120
Speaker 5: doubted them in the beginning of the year, but I

2469
02:14:12,160 --> 02:14:14,520
Speaker 5: will not doubt them anymore. And one last thing on

2470
02:14:14,680 --> 02:14:17,560
Speaker 5: cam scat about go ahead, this guy would be a

2471
02:14:17,720 --> 02:14:21,880
Speaker 5: Heisman winner if Travis Hunter and Ashton gent were in

2472
02:14:21,920 --> 02:14:24,400
Speaker 5: a thing. I'm seriously so upset that he had to

2473
02:14:24,480 --> 02:14:27,920
Speaker 5: blow up this year when the Heisman race is so

2474
02:14:28,200 --> 02:14:31,560
Speaker 5: insanely difficult because of the talent that we have seen

2475
02:14:31,680 --> 02:14:34,080
Speaker 5: this year, especially with a two way player like Travis Hunter,

2476
02:14:34,360 --> 02:14:37,040
Speaker 5: and then Ashton Genty was just an unheard of running back.

2477
02:14:37,280 --> 02:14:39,360
Speaker 5: I still think Cam is going to translate to the

2478
02:14:39,480 --> 02:14:42,720
Speaker 5: NFL a little bit better than Genty. Just because I

2479
02:14:42,920 --> 02:14:45,800
Speaker 5: literally I love that fullback type guy, like the guy

2480
02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:48,920
Speaker 5: that just goes runs forward. I don't know what it does,

2481
02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:51,880
Speaker 5: but the NFL isn't really seeing it anymore. So I

2482
02:14:52,040 --> 02:14:53,920
Speaker 5: really hope he does a good job. But we'll see.

2483
02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:56,520
Speaker 5: We'll see what happens. But if it was any other year,

2484
02:14:56,640 --> 02:14:59,440
Speaker 5: Cam would be a Heisman winner. Very upseting what I

2485
02:14:59,480 --> 02:15:00,080
Speaker 5: love about.

2486
02:14:59,840 --> 02:15:04,520
Speaker 1: To Okay, first of all, he had two scholarship offers

2487
02:15:04,560 --> 02:15:06,760
Speaker 1: coming out of high school Sacramento State and William and

2488
02:15:06,800 --> 02:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Mary are you kidding me?

2489
02:15:10,040 --> 02:15:10,080
Speaker 9: So?

2490
02:15:10,800 --> 02:15:13,240
Speaker 1: And then and then you gotta love Arizona State. They

2491
02:15:13,280 --> 02:15:15,320
Speaker 1: were one hundred to one to win the conference at

2492
02:15:15,360 --> 02:15:17,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. That's what the Saints were

2493
02:15:17,520 --> 02:15:19,800
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. And so you know, you

2494
02:15:19,880 --> 02:15:22,880
Speaker 1: got to factor these things in, right, and and and

2495
02:15:23,440 --> 02:15:25,360
Speaker 1: look at them now. I mean they were picked to

2496
02:15:25,400 --> 02:15:28,840
Speaker 1: finish last by the coaches, right, So I mean, my god,

2497
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:31,880
Speaker 1: what an amazing story. By the way, I had it

2498
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:33,960
Speaker 1: right last year. And this is gonna be my projections

2499
02:15:34,040 --> 02:15:39,600
Speaker 1: that you're gonna see Arizona State get a bye and

2500
02:15:39,720 --> 02:15:41,720
Speaker 1: I think they'll play the winner of I think SMU

2501
02:15:41,760 --> 02:15:43,240
Speaker 1: will be the twelve seed and it will be the

2502
02:15:43,320 --> 02:15:46,960
Speaker 1: five seed get the winner of SMU Penn State at home.

2503
02:15:47,200 --> 02:15:49,640
Speaker 1: I agree, Nick could beat either one of them.

2504
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:51,600
Speaker 6: I think we will be either one of the state.

2505
02:15:52,160 --> 02:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, and then you would advance. They don't recede,

2506
02:15:57,040 --> 02:15:59,720
Speaker 1: Oregon will be lying there and wait, they'll play the

2507
02:15:59,760 --> 02:16:02,920
Speaker 1: win or a Tennessee Ohio State. And if Oregon were

2508
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:05,040
Speaker 1: to get knocked off by either of those, Arizona State,

2509
02:16:05,120 --> 02:16:07,800
Speaker 1: would you know, Let's just take it one at a time.

2510
02:16:08,200 --> 02:16:10,800
Speaker 1: So this has been fantastic, all right, man, gotta love it.

2511
02:16:11,160 --> 02:16:15,880
Speaker 1: Love cam Scattabo. All right, I'm the Okay, So here's

2512
02:16:15,920 --> 02:16:18,120
Speaker 1: the situation. You got the You got that one right.

2513
02:16:18,720 --> 02:16:22,320
Speaker 1: Camp Scattabo was the first Big twelve player in history

2514
02:16:22,360 --> 02:16:24,600
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred rushing yards five hundred receiving yards in the

2515
02:16:24,640 --> 02:16:29,320
Speaker 1: same season. However, I'm the last college football running back

2516
02:16:30,120 --> 02:16:32,640
Speaker 1: to get fifteen hundred rushing yards and five hundred receiving

2517
02:16:32,720 --> 02:16:35,560
Speaker 1: yards in the same season. Mark Ramsey what my name?

2518
02:16:35,720 --> 02:16:38,640
Speaker 1: I have mentioned him earlier in the show, and he's

2519
02:16:38,680 --> 02:16:41,200
Speaker 1: out the rest of the year with a PCL injury

2520
02:16:41,240 --> 02:16:41,720
Speaker 1: in his knee.

2521
02:16:42,560 --> 02:16:45,320
Speaker 7: H Bernie, I'm going to phone a friend named Shaye.

2522
02:16:46,959 --> 02:16:50,640
Speaker 6: All Right, the judges will allow it, it's gonna be CMC.

2523
02:16:51,240 --> 02:16:52,800
Speaker 1: CMC, Christian McCaffrey.

2524
02:16:52,920 --> 02:16:56,119
Speaker 6: Right, that's another guy that had basically like genty.

2525
02:16:55,920 --> 02:16:58,400
Speaker 1: Who did it back in twenty fifteen at Stanford.

2526
02:16:58,560 --> 02:17:01,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, he should have won the highest but just didn't

2527
02:17:01,600 --> 02:17:03,640
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like he did so good.

2528
02:17:03,760 --> 02:17:05,800
Speaker 5: But also that was the same year I think that

2529
02:17:06,800 --> 02:17:08,599
Speaker 5: what's his name when this Heisman.

2530
02:17:10,600 --> 02:17:14,840
Speaker 1: Twenty fifteen, Yeah, quarterback, Oh, Derek Hendrick winning twenty five

2531
02:17:15,120 --> 02:17:18,400
Speaker 1: kind Obama, Yeah, out of Bama. You're right, they're similar.

2532
02:17:18,520 --> 02:17:20,840
Speaker 1: You you bring up a good point there, They're they're

2533
02:17:20,920 --> 02:17:24,760
Speaker 1: similar because really, Christian mccaffee came on strong at the end.

2534
02:17:24,800 --> 02:17:27,280
Speaker 1: So you got to remember Arizona State when six games

2535
02:17:27,280 --> 02:17:29,600
Speaker 1: and started winning all these games. That's what really put

2536
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:31,480
Speaker 1: put him on the map. And then you started to

2537
02:17:31,560 --> 02:17:34,320
Speaker 1: see the highlight film of this guy and you're like, oh,

2538
02:17:34,440 --> 02:17:37,000
Speaker 1: my goodness, gracious, this dude is the real deal man.

2539
02:17:37,240 --> 02:17:40,000
Speaker 6: Seriously, CMC was just yeah, you just didn't see him

2540
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:40,240
Speaker 6: as much.

2541
02:17:40,280 --> 02:17:43,160
Speaker 1: Well, I'm I'm scoutables too. I think he's gonna play.

2542
02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:44,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a good NFL career, I hope. So

2543
02:17:45,120 --> 02:17:48,040
Speaker 1: there's too many things he can do. Okay, this he

2544
02:17:48,120 --> 02:17:49,920

02:19:04,400 --> 02:19:07,920
Speaker 1: more fights than anybody, a total of three and thirty

2571
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:11,480
Speaker 1: three fights. Now, this guy's long retired. It's got a

2572
02:19:11,560 --> 02:19:16,560
Speaker 1: very distinctive name, and his first name is It's something

2573
02:19:16,640 --> 02:19:19,920
Speaker 1: you do with your shoes. You blank your shoes. You

2574
02:19:21,640 --> 02:19:23,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to slip on, so you have to

2575
02:19:26,959 --> 02:19:28,920
Speaker 1: what do you do to your shoes? Who is it?

2576
02:19:29,040 --> 02:19:29,800
Speaker 6: Just yell it out.

2577
02:19:30,440 --> 02:19:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be giving you a clue to the guy's name.

2578
02:19:32,440 --> 02:19:34,560
Speaker 6: You tie your shoes, tie your shoes.

2579
02:19:36,800 --> 02:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Well, you got that part right. Now we need to

2580
02:19:39,600 --> 02:19:40,840
Speaker 1: get the name of the hockey player.

2581
02:19:41,240 --> 02:19:43,280
Speaker 6: Okay, who Tie?

2582
02:19:43,520 --> 02:19:45,360
Speaker 1: Who had three hundred and thirty three fights, more than

2583
02:19:45,400 --> 02:19:51,560
Speaker 1: any other Tie. He's also got a son, is No,

2584
02:19:51,879 --> 02:19:53,440
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I don't think. I don't think

2585
02:19:53,480 --> 02:20:00,240
Speaker 1: he ever got in fights. Luke rovertid Tie is his

2586
02:20:00,360 --> 02:20:02,360
Speaker 1: first name, and he's got a son playing in the

2587
02:20:02,480 --> 02:20:04,240
Speaker 1: National Hockey League now he just likes to get in

2588
02:20:04,320 --> 02:20:08,680
Speaker 1: fights too. I can't think of a good clue to

2589
02:20:08,760 --> 02:20:11,000
Speaker 1: give you to the last no matter what, I just

2590
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:12,000
Speaker 1: don't think I know this one.

2591
02:20:12,120 --> 02:20:13,360
Speaker 6: I don't think you want to give it.

2592
02:20:13,640 --> 02:20:14,840
Speaker 1: You give it a shot, Mark Tie.

2593
02:20:16,360 --> 02:20:17,800
Speaker 6: All I have was Luke Robotie.

2594
02:20:18,800 --> 02:20:21,600
Speaker 1: Good enough, that's a fair guess. It's actually Tied Domey.

2595
02:20:21,640 --> 02:20:27,160
Speaker 1: You guys, remember Tied. I don't go google it, man, Okay, badass, badass,

2596
02:20:27,520 --> 02:20:29,880
Speaker 1: all right, guys, Really good job, brand new fool with

2597
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:33,360
Speaker 1: my name having a lot of fun. Uh and maybe

2598
02:20:33,440 --> 02:20:35,520
Speaker 1: not as much fun as those first graders and uh.

2599
02:20:37,240 --> 02:20:39,640
Speaker 6: Oh my god, yeah those first grade I can't.

2600
02:20:39,640 --> 02:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I can't get my mind around that.

2601
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:41,920
Speaker 6: Man, it's insane.

2602
02:20:42,280 --> 02:20:44,080
Speaker 1: I can't keep my mind around that. That. That's that.

2603
02:20:44,240 --> 02:20:45,280
Speaker 1: That one's going to stick with me.

2604
02:20:45,440 --> 02:20:48,120
Speaker 5: By the way, Tied Domie is the Maple Leafs all

2605
02:20:48,160 --> 02:20:50,240
Speaker 5: time leader in penalty month and it's as well and

2606
02:20:50,280 --> 02:20:54,080
Speaker 5: he's not a shock no penalty minutes in NHL history,

2607
02:20:54,240 --> 02:20:54,879
Speaker 5: which is funny.

2608
02:20:55,400 --> 02:20:58,600
Speaker 1: The number one Google YouTube some of his fights. Man,

2609
02:20:59,320 --> 02:21:02,360
Speaker 1: he's fists looked like a couple of pistons going back

2610
02:21:02,400 --> 02:21:02,720
Speaker 1: and forth.

2611
02:21:02,800 --> 02:21:04,320
Speaker 6: And his son's missing some teeth too.

2612
02:21:04,480 --> 02:21:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah. Apple. That doesn't fall from does it.

2613
02:21:10,680 --> 02:21:10,720
Speaker 2: Go?

2614
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:13,280
Speaker 1: Sun Devil Somewhere? Frank Kusch must be smiling.

2615
02:21:13,360 --> 02:21:13,920

Speaker 1: Las Vegas. We covered all including the other sport spelled

2630
02:21:59,040 --> 02:22:03,280
Speaker 1: football he be oil. Chris has some major updates, including

2631
02:22:03,360 --> 02:22:07,000
Speaker 1: crowning a new champion. It's time Chris Popfet's World of Soccer.

2632
02:22:08,240 --> 02:22:18,720
Speaker 8: The Greatest schools, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2633
02:22:21,720 --> 02:22:22,240
Speaker 3: I ain't.

2634
02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:27,480
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2635
02:22:28,200 --> 02:22:32,440
Speaker 9: Six MLS cups. That's how many La Galaxy has. The

2636
02:22:32,600 --> 02:22:35,160
Speaker 9: champions are back. Yes, it has been a while since

2637
02:22:35,640 --> 02:22:39,400
Speaker 9: La Galaxy has reached the rooftops of Major League Soccer.

2638
02:22:39,800 --> 02:22:42,160
Speaker 9: It's been a long time since David Becka wore the

2639
02:22:42,240 --> 02:22:46,959
Speaker 9: Galaxy jersey, or so did slats on Ibrakimovich or Luis

2640
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:51,880
Speaker 9: Hernandez or even the Great landon Donovan himself. And in

2641
02:22:51,959 --> 02:22:55,480
Speaker 9: that time they have had to seed and share Los

2642
02:22:55,520 --> 02:22:59,440
Speaker 9: Angeles with LAFC, the upstarts who have garnered a lot

2643
02:22:59,440 --> 02:23:03,200
Speaker 9: of attention in their own MLS Cups. But Galaxy is

2644
02:23:03,440 --> 02:23:07,240
Speaker 9: back on top and they have claimed their sixth MLS

2645
02:23:07,400 --> 02:23:09,880
Speaker 9: Cup with a two to one win over the New

2646
02:23:10,000 --> 02:23:12,520
Speaker 9: York Red Bulls. The story of the Red Bulls was

2647
02:23:12,640 --> 02:23:16,320
Speaker 9: one of a lot of resiliency. No one as low

2648
02:23:16,440 --> 02:23:19,760
Speaker 9: seated as seventh had ever made the MLS Cup final before,

2649
02:23:20,400 --> 02:23:22,640
Speaker 9: but the dream for New York was really not to be.

2650
02:23:22,800 --> 02:23:25,160
Speaker 9: They got one goal in this game in the twenty

2651
02:23:25,200 --> 02:23:28,000
Speaker 9: eighth minute, but it was the La Galaxy two goals

2652
02:23:28,040 --> 02:23:31,520
Speaker 9: in the first fifteen minutes that dictated everything. A fast

2653
02:23:31,600 --> 02:23:34,640
Speaker 9: start to the game that would end up holding until

2654
02:23:34,640 --> 02:23:37,520
Speaker 9: the final minutes as the game winning goal went to

2655
02:23:37,640 --> 02:23:41,600
Speaker 9: day On Yovelek. We talked about on the previous night's

2656
02:23:41,879 --> 02:23:44,960
Speaker 9: World of soccer as their leading goal scorer for the

2657
02:23:45,040 --> 02:23:49,199
Speaker 9: regular season and someone who just stepped up when Galaxy

2658
02:23:49,280 --> 02:23:53,039
Speaker 9: really needed them the most, slammed that home and Galaxy

2659
02:23:53,200 --> 02:23:55,400
Speaker 9: is taking home the trophy. It's a bit of respect

2660
02:23:55,440 --> 02:23:58,320
Speaker 9: the club has desired and for a club that was

2661
02:23:58,680 --> 02:24:02,240
Speaker 9: up until the final days the RDA season leading the

2662
02:24:02,320 --> 02:24:05,480
Speaker 9: Western Conference, it is pride restored.

2663
02:24:05,600 --> 02:24:07,520
Speaker 1: They may not be lifting the supporter shield.

2664
02:24:07,320 --> 02:24:10,320
Speaker 9: That may go to Interer Miami, but in North America,

2665
02:24:10,600 --> 02:24:15,320
Speaker 9: in our world of sports, doing a playoff tournament, knockout

2666
02:24:15,360 --> 02:24:17,760
Speaker 9: tournament and winning a cup at the end of it,

2667
02:24:18,200 --> 02:24:21,680
Speaker 9: that's really the real championship for an American sport, and

2668
02:24:21,800 --> 02:24:24,960
Speaker 9: Galaxy adds a sixth star to their badge. Again, no

2669
02:24:25,040 --> 02:24:27,480
Speaker 9: one else in MLS is close to what they have done,

2670
02:24:27,480 --> 02:24:30,640
Speaker 9: and while it's been over ten years since their last

2671
02:24:31,040 --> 02:24:33,840
Speaker 9: MLS Cup, it's a reminder that they're still around and

2672
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:34,760
Speaker 9: they are still.

2673
02:24:34,640 --> 02:24:36,280
Speaker 1: The class to really beat.

2674
02:24:36,360 --> 02:24:39,280
Speaker 9: They've gained back some respect in all of this by

2675
02:24:39,400 --> 02:24:44,160
Speaker 9: lifting this trophy, and with a squad of some real stars,

2676
02:24:44,959 --> 02:24:47,840
Speaker 9: to say the least, behind Marco Royce who was able

2677
02:24:47,879 --> 02:24:50,840
Speaker 9: to suit up for this match. Maya Yoshida, their captain,

2678
02:24:51,160 --> 02:24:56,080
Speaker 9: who came over the great Japanese player Joelex, which we mentioned.

2679
02:24:56,800 --> 02:24:58,920
Speaker 1: It's a real coup for Galaxy.

2680
02:24:59,440 --> 02:25:03,000
Speaker 9: It's it's a real moment for them, to say the least.

2681
02:25:03,440 --> 02:25:08,560
Speaker 9: It was in totality the right ending to a very

2682
02:25:08,680 --> 02:25:12,000
Speaker 9: chaotic MLS Cup playoffs that' saw Inter Miami knocked out

2683
02:25:12,040 --> 02:25:15,080
Speaker 9: in the first round, that saw La Galaxy fall to

2684
02:25:15,160 --> 02:25:19,640
Speaker 9: the Seattle Sounders, that saw the defending champions get the

2685
02:25:19,720 --> 02:25:22,200
Speaker 9: Columbus Crew get knocked out in the first round by

2686
02:25:22,280 --> 02:25:24,959
Speaker 9: New York Red Bulls. That cleared the board and set

2687
02:25:25,200 --> 02:25:28,040
Speaker 9: the pieces for a new winner, a new club, and

2688
02:25:28,360 --> 02:25:30,480
Speaker 9: in this case, the new club happens to also be

2689
02:25:30,800 --> 02:25:33,680
Speaker 9: the old club. There was another bit of MLS news

2690
02:25:33,720 --> 02:25:35,640
Speaker 9: we should talk about, and that was the awarding of

2691
02:25:35,720 --> 02:25:38,200
Speaker 9: the MVP, and there was a little bit of there

2692
02:25:38,280 --> 02:25:40,760
Speaker 9: was a few eyes that were raised when it was

2693
02:25:40,959 --> 02:25:44,000
Speaker 9: Leonel Messi who took her on the MVP. And you

2694
02:25:44,120 --> 02:25:47,080
Speaker 9: might be thinking to yourself, it's Leonel Messi, he clearly

2695
02:25:47,160 --> 02:25:50,160
Speaker 9: deserves the MVP. But a lot of that conversation comes

2696
02:25:50,200 --> 02:25:53,280
Speaker 9: from the fact that really only playing in fifty five

2697
02:25:53,360 --> 02:25:58,120
Speaker 9: percent of Inter Miami's games is a precipitously low number

2698
02:25:58,520 --> 02:26:01,360
Speaker 9: to really consider. For anyone who is a MVP in

2699
02:26:01,560 --> 02:26:03,800
Speaker 9: any sport. If I told you that a player in

2700
02:26:03,879 --> 02:26:06,240
Speaker 9: the NBA only played about half the games, you'd say,

2701
02:26:06,320 --> 02:26:09,000
Speaker 9: no way they could be MVP. And if I told

2702
02:26:09,040 --> 02:26:11,440
Speaker 9: you a quarterback only played in half the games of

2703
02:26:11,440 --> 02:26:13,800
Speaker 9: the National Football League, no way they could be MVP.

2704
02:26:14,360 --> 02:26:17,280
Speaker 3: But that's just kind of what the impact of Messi is.

2705
02:26:17,360 --> 02:26:20,280
Speaker 9: I feel like there's good cases on where he deserves it,

2706
02:26:20,600 --> 02:26:24,080
Speaker 9: and I also deeply respect the case that he just

2707
02:26:24,760 --> 02:26:27,840
Speaker 9: did not play enough to really go for the award.

2708
02:26:28,120 --> 02:26:30,960
Speaker 9: But let me go down this is that without Lionel Messi,

2709
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:36,480
Speaker 9: this thirty six goal contributions twenty goals sixteen assists, the

2710
02:26:36,640 --> 02:26:40,920
Speaker 9: most of any player in MLS this season, the second

2711
02:26:41,080 --> 02:26:47,040
Speaker 9: closest with probably Luciano Acosta for FC Cincinnati. But it really,

2712
02:26:47,800 --> 02:26:50,119
Speaker 9: it really must be stressed that I do not believe

2713
02:26:50,160 --> 02:26:53,199
Speaker 9: Inter Miami is the one who's lifting the supporter shield

2714
02:26:53,520 --> 02:26:55,560
Speaker 9: or doing all of these amazing things they did in

2715
02:26:55,600 --> 02:26:59,840
Speaker 9: the regular season without Lionel Messi playing these games. And yes,

2716
02:27:00,160 --> 02:27:01,760
Speaker 9: maybe those numbers could be a lot bigger if he

2717
02:27:01,800 --> 02:27:03,440
Speaker 9: had played more of than we're also talking about a

2718
02:27:03,520 --> 02:27:06,080
Speaker 9: man who's on the tail end of things and Ultimately,

2719
02:27:06,120 --> 02:27:08,040
Speaker 9: at the end of the day, we have to say it.

2720
02:27:08,480 --> 02:27:13,200
Speaker 9: This has been about Lionel Messi coming to MLS. Lionel MLSI,

2721
02:27:13,440 --> 02:27:15,720
Speaker 9: if you will, So it makes sense that the league

2722
02:27:15,720 --> 02:27:17,800
Speaker 9: would work very hard to make sure that he gets

2723
02:27:17,840 --> 02:27:20,440
Speaker 9: the trophy at the end of this and he's been

2724
02:27:20,600 --> 02:27:22,200
Speaker 9: the poster child for this league.

2725
02:27:22,400 --> 02:27:24,119
Speaker 3: Maybe he is not the most valuable.

2726
02:27:23,800 --> 02:27:26,840
Speaker 9: Player as far as on field contributions before this league,

2727
02:27:27,959 --> 02:27:31,000
Speaker 9: raising the eyebrows of everyone around there, trying to make

2728
02:27:31,040 --> 02:27:35,560
Speaker 9: it much more of a home name to be recognized

2729
02:27:35,640 --> 02:27:36,640
Speaker 9: in the world of soccer.

2730
02:27:37,120 --> 02:27:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could understand that.

2731
02:27:38,360 --> 02:27:40,920
Speaker 9: For him, he's still doing amazing things out here, even

2732
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:44,160
Speaker 9: as his rival Christiano Ronaldo does the same thing in

2733
02:27:44,280 --> 02:27:47,280
Speaker 9: Saudi Arabia. Well, with MLS out of the way now

2734
02:27:47,320 --> 02:27:49,360
Speaker 9: we can turn our attention back to Europe, who will

2735
02:27:49,400 --> 02:27:53,200
Speaker 9: continue through the winter and into the spring. And we

2736
02:27:53,360 --> 02:27:57,520
Speaker 9: have some interesting developments that happened on Saturday in that

2737
02:27:58,240 --> 02:28:02,360
Speaker 9: this seems to really be the moments where Manchester City

2738
02:28:02,959 --> 02:28:07,080
Speaker 9: is starting to slide. So we had heavy rain across

2739
02:28:07,200 --> 02:28:11,840
Speaker 9: parts of Britain. Liverpool and Everton's Merseyside derby was postponed.

2740
02:28:11,840 --> 02:28:14,640
Speaker 9: We'll see what happens there. Do I expect Liverpool to

2741
02:28:14,680 --> 02:28:17,360
Speaker 9: pick up points if they ever remake this match. But

2742
02:28:18,040 --> 02:28:22,320
Speaker 9: Manchester City, with a two two draw against Crystal Palace,

2743
02:28:23,120 --> 02:28:26,120
Speaker 9: has seen themselves in a very bad spot where they

2744
02:28:26,160 --> 02:28:29,800
Speaker 9: have now lost for and drew one in their last

2745
02:28:30,080 --> 02:28:33,880
Speaker 9: six games. It is put them in a point where

2746
02:28:34,000 --> 02:28:36,240
Speaker 9: we don't usually see this from City. It has lost

2747
02:28:36,360 --> 02:28:39,240
Speaker 9: their keen start to the season and has now dropped

2748
02:28:39,280 --> 02:28:43,960
Speaker 9: them to fourth behind Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal and with

2749
02:28:44,240 --> 02:28:48,520
Speaker 9: wins With a win by Nottingham Forest over Manchester United

2750
02:28:48,600 --> 02:28:53,800
Speaker 9: and a win by Aston Villa over Southampton, Manchester City

2751
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:59,519
Speaker 9: is dangerously close to falling out of the Champions League qualification.

2752
02:29:01,480 --> 02:29:05,320
Speaker 9: Their manager Pep Guardiola talked about it and said straight

2753
02:29:05,360 --> 02:29:07,520
Speaker 9: up that we can't even we cannot talk about the

2754
02:29:07,640 --> 02:29:10,640
Speaker 9: title race at all. Forget about the Premier League title.

2755
02:29:10,959 --> 02:29:14,199
Speaker 9: We've lost four games in a row and a draw,

2756
02:29:14,600 --> 02:29:16,680
Speaker 9: he said quote. We'll try to recover players we'll see

2757
02:29:16,680 --> 02:29:19,720
Speaker 9: in the last month, but it is a season to suffer.

2758
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:22,720
Speaker 9: We remind everyone too that Manchester City is suffering all

2759
02:29:22,760 --> 02:29:26,800
Speaker 9: of this well also with over a hundred financial violations

2760
02:29:26,879 --> 02:29:30,560
Speaker 9: hanging over their head being deliberated by a tribunal right now,

2761
02:29:30,600 --> 02:29:34,280
Speaker 9: which could see those points shaved off even further. It's

2762
02:29:34,280 --> 02:29:37,039
Speaker 9: a place we're not used to seeing City as someone

2763
02:29:37,080 --> 02:29:39,240
Speaker 9: who is deep in the chase and not one of

2764
02:29:39,320 --> 02:29:42,119
Speaker 9: the chase. Yes, there's been points where they've been close

2765
02:29:42,200 --> 02:29:45,560
Speaker 9: and chasing Arsenal, but not to this degree where there's

2766
02:29:45,920 --> 02:29:48,040
Speaker 9: quite a few points to make up on Liverpool. A

2767
02:29:48,080 --> 02:29:51,760
Speaker 9: Liverpool team that looks absolutely dominant. As again, we're about

2768
02:29:51,879 --> 02:29:55,119
Speaker 9: four games away from the halfway point of the season.

2769
02:29:56,000 --> 02:29:58,920
Speaker 9: I don't and with the way that Manchester City is

2770
02:29:58,959 --> 02:30:01,120
Speaker 9: playing and with the way they've been hurt, I don't

2771
02:30:01,160 --> 02:30:03,160
Speaker 9: really see their path to getting back to this. This

2772
02:30:03,200 --> 02:30:06,000
Speaker 9: will be fascinating because now we're talking about a wide

2773
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:08,840
Speaker 9: open Premier League that's going to do it for us. Bernie,

2774
02:30:09,040 --> 02:30:12,680
Speaker 9: congratulations once again to La Galaxy for lifting the MLS Cup.

2775
02:30:12,840 --> 02:30:16,200
Speaker 9: Congratulations a Linel Messi for the MLS MVP. And we'll

2776
02:30:16,200 --> 02:30:18,240
Speaker 9: see you next time on the World of Soccer.

2779
02:30:25,320 --> 02:30:30,360
Speaker 1: the good folks of Tuscaloosa by now must have rope

2780
02:30:30,400 --> 02:30:34,360
Speaker 1: burns from the rosary, praying hoping, who's it gonna be?

2781
02:30:34,680 --> 02:30:38,440
Speaker 1: Alabama or SMU. Coming up, I'll tell you who I

2782
02:30:38,600 --> 02:30:41,960
Speaker 1: think the Committee is going to pick. I'm Bernie Frattle

Speaker 2: All right, for.

2796
02:31:24,400 --> 02:31:27,039
Speaker 1: About six hours and eleven minutes away from at least

2797
02:31:27,080 --> 02:31:31,360
Speaker 1: the show beginning in which the Committee will reveal to

2798
02:31:31,440 --> 02:31:34,520
Speaker 1: a greatful nation who's it going to be? SMU or Alabama?

2799
02:31:36,200 --> 02:31:40,400
Speaker 1: And for those of you who selectively listen, let me

2800
02:31:40,480 --> 02:31:42,080
Speaker 1: say this. I'm going to tell you who I think

2801
02:31:42,120 --> 02:31:44,879
Speaker 1: the committee will pick. All right, That's what I'm going

2802
02:31:44,959 --> 02:31:48,400
Speaker 1: to try to do here, And let me set up

2803
02:31:48,400 --> 02:31:53,119
Speaker 1: a few things. First of all, would would Alabama be SMU, Yes, yes,

2804
02:31:53,160 --> 02:31:57,000
Speaker 1: I believe they would. I believe they would would SMU

2805
02:31:57,640 --> 02:31:59,920
Speaker 1: this past season based on what I saw have been

2806
02:32:00,120 --> 02:32:04,200
Speaker 1: in Georgia, LSU, or South Carolina or Missouri. No, I

2807
02:32:04,240 --> 02:32:07,600
Speaker 1: don't believe they would have, just my humble opinion. But

2808
02:32:07,680 --> 02:32:11,959
Speaker 1: guess who did Alabama? Alabama beat Georgia, LSU, South Carolina,

2809
02:32:12,120 --> 02:32:15,360
Speaker 1: and Missouri. And oh not for nothing, SMU lost to

2810
02:32:15,440 --> 02:32:18,840
Speaker 1: Clemson Saturday night, who also lost to Georgia and South

2811
02:32:18,879 --> 02:32:24,280
Speaker 1: Carolina who Alabama beat. The accumulative record of the opponents

2812
02:32:24,360 --> 02:32:26,520
Speaker 1: Alabama played this year were ninety two and fifty two,

2813
02:32:27,160 --> 02:32:30,920
Speaker 1: and the cumulative record for SMU eighty three and seventy five.

2814
02:32:30,959 --> 02:32:32,840
Speaker 1: These are just facts. They'll get all up in your

2815
02:32:32,879 --> 02:32:36,360
Speaker 1: fields here, all right. There are objective truths, there are

2816
02:32:36,400 --> 02:32:41,120
Speaker 1: personal feelings. We're dealing with objective truths here. I get it.

2817
02:32:41,200 --> 02:32:44,680
Speaker 1: Obama had three losses, tied, didn't play in their conference

2818
02:32:44,720 --> 02:32:47,960
Speaker 1: title game, but they played a very tough SEC schedule,

2819
02:32:48,520 --> 02:32:50,600
Speaker 1: and I know people want to hate and bash on

2820
02:32:50,680 --> 02:32:53,560
Speaker 1: the SEC while you're at it, just remember to remind

2821
02:32:53,600 --> 02:32:58,000
Speaker 1: yourself that currently on NFL rosters, the SEC features four

2822
02:32:58,080 --> 02:33:01,640
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine players. Of the last twenty national championships,

2823
02:33:01,680 --> 02:33:04,800
Speaker 1: the SEC conference has won fourteen of them. Week in

2824
02:33:04,920 --> 02:33:07,120
Speaker 1: week out. You're not gonna see a better gauntlet, the

2825
02:33:07,160 --> 02:33:10,520
Speaker 1: athleticism on the defensive lines, the physicality week in week out.

2826
02:33:10,640 --> 02:33:13,520
Speaker 1: It's they cannibalize each other. Okay, that's just a fact.

2827
02:33:14,800 --> 02:33:16,920
Speaker 1: Am I an SEC walk Hell No, I'm telling you

2828
02:33:17,080 --> 02:33:20,720
Speaker 1: these are objective truths, not personal feelings. I don't give

2829
02:33:20,800 --> 02:33:24,400
Speaker 1: a horses p duit, all right. And I know you're

2830
02:33:24,400 --> 02:33:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna crap on Alabama because they lost to Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt's

2831
02:33:28,040 --> 02:33:29,920
Speaker 1: a good team. You're gonna crap on them because they

2832
02:33:29,959 --> 02:33:32,640
Speaker 1: lost to Oklahoma. It's a bad loss. I don't want

2833
02:33:32,680 --> 02:33:36,320
Speaker 1: to hear anything about bad losses. Bad losses good. If

2834
02:33:36,360 --> 02:33:38,680
Speaker 1: they're bad losses, that means you have to be good losses.

2835
02:33:38,800 --> 02:33:42,040
Speaker 1: And there's no such thing as a good loss. It's

2836
02:33:42,080 --> 02:33:46,720
Speaker 1: like a good kidney stone, all right. So at the

2837
02:33:46,840 --> 02:33:49,800
Speaker 1: end of the day, who the hell does the committee pick?

2838
02:33:51,160 --> 02:33:56,200
Speaker 1: You make a case for SMU. Their best wins were

2839
02:33:56,240 --> 02:33:59,800
Speaker 1: over Louisville and Pitt. I suppose the only loss prior

2840
02:33:59,840 --> 02:34:02,600
Speaker 1: to Saturday, it came by three points on the road

2841
02:34:02,640 --> 02:34:05,879
Speaker 1: at BUYU, a quality team, but up until just last

2842
02:34:05,920 --> 02:34:07,800
Speaker 1: week was in the mix for the Big twelve title game.

2843
02:34:08,280 --> 02:34:11,240
Speaker 1: And then their second loss was to Clemson, who lost

2844
02:34:11,280 --> 02:34:16,440
Speaker 1: to Georgia and South Carolina of the SEC. But the

2845
02:34:17,040 --> 02:34:19,640
Speaker 1: SMU did make it to their conference championship game. And

2846
02:34:19,720 --> 02:34:25,039
Speaker 1: that's therein starts to offer the clue the verdict. Okay,

2847
02:34:25,480 --> 02:34:27,439
Speaker 1: you never really know one hundred percent what the committee's

2848
02:34:27,440 --> 02:34:29,560
Speaker 1: going to do. I don't really care what ward Manuel says.

2849
02:34:30,720 --> 02:34:34,800
Speaker 1: And I would say that if they're going to honor

2850
02:34:34,959 --> 02:34:39,119
Speaker 1: the integrity of conference championship games, if you're in them,

2851
02:34:39,160 --> 02:34:41,800
Speaker 1: whether you lose them or not, then it's clear to

2852
02:34:41,920 --> 02:34:46,959
Speaker 1: me that I'm gonna guess about within about six hours

2853
02:34:47,000 --> 02:34:51,360
Speaker 1: and thirty minutes from now, the Committee will extend an imitation.

2854
02:34:52,520 --> 02:34:57,880
Speaker 1: Again proticting the Committee will extend the imitation to SMU.

2855
02:34:58,640 --> 02:35:01,520
Speaker 1: I believe they will be the team that finds their

2856
02:35:01,560 --> 02:35:04,920
Speaker 1: way in UH. And it's you know, it's just the

2857
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:07,680
Speaker 1: way it's going to be, based on what I think

2858
02:35:07,760 --> 02:35:09,520
Speaker 1: I know, based on if you put all the data

2859
02:35:09,600 --> 02:35:13,039
Speaker 1: in a blender and mix it up, and again I'll reiterate.

2860
02:35:13,160 --> 02:35:14,879
Speaker 1: Would would SMU beat Alabama?

2861
02:35:15,240 --> 02:35:15,280
Speaker 9: No?

2862
02:35:15,920 --> 02:35:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't think they would. Would the four teams at

2863
02:35:19,959 --> 02:35:24,720
Speaker 1: Alabama beat this year of NOE Georgia Georgia will bet

2864
02:35:24,760 --> 02:35:29,360
Speaker 1: Texas twice, LSU, South Carolina, Missouri? Would would SMU have

2865
02:35:29,400 --> 02:35:30,199
Speaker 1: beatn those teams?

2866
02:35:30,680 --> 02:35:30,720
Speaker 2: No?

2867
02:35:30,879 --> 02:35:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe.

2868
02:35:31,560 --> 02:35:31,600
Speaker 5: So.

2869
02:35:32,200 --> 02:35:34,360
Speaker 1: If SMU would have played Alabama schedule, would they have

2870
02:35:34,360 --> 02:35:36,480
Speaker 1: been eleven to one? No, eleven and two? I don't

2871
02:35:36,480 --> 02:35:40,880
Speaker 1: think so. There's drenth to schedule. Not great, But listen,

2872
02:35:40,959 --> 02:35:42,640
