6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: getting to that portion of the year where there's actually

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: sports on Friday night. I I guess for a while, really,

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: since the NBA Finals ended NBA Playoffs, I hadn't turned

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: on the TV on a Friday night and watched sports. Uh.

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: And last night I saw a little college football USC Oregon.

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: And yes, I did watch several minutes of NBA preseason basketball. Yes, sadly,

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: I asked producer Gavin did you have you watch any

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: preseason It's like, no way, and I'm a little embarrassed

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: to men, I watched some. But listen, when the Lakers

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: are on, I gotta get my um talent Horton Tucker

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: fix Um and I gotta admit, listen, We're gonna get

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: to this later. But did anybody else see Kyrie Irving?

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: He had a preseason game last night in Boston, and

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: before the game, he's walking around the court. This is

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: like two hours before the game, before anybody's in the arena,

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: and he's doing something called saging the arena, burning some

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: kind of like incense deal. And we're gonna have to

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: get to that because I need to actually google this up.

24
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: I saw it last night and I was like, saging.

25
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: So I asked the wife what is saging? And I'm

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: not gonna say her response because I don't want you

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: guys judging her, but basically, um Kyrie Irvings is officially

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: becoming strange, like NBA players saging the arena, okay, uh.

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: And they're showing it on TV of course because it's

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: like a it's a big clip. It's like the hell

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: is saging? So it's into the sports world, folks. This

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: is where we are, less than a week until Christmas.

33
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Hope everybody's out their holiday shopping done. We just had

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: one minor, uh, first world problem. Like we do the

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: family photos every year, you pay a photographer, the photographer

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: finds a good setup, takes the pictures, turns them around quickly,

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: and then you go and order them. And I'm oversharing here,

38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: but I think you guys will laugh, and I'm a

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: little upset by it. We went through this company called

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: shutter Fly. I don't know if any of you have

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: used shutter Fly. We've used them for like five years.

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Always no problem, went smoothly. So this year, of course,

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: because of the U. S. Postal service being a total

44
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: train wreck, um our stuff gets delayed and we ordered

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: it in November, and then of course it shows up

46
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: on like the shutter Fly tracking still waiting, still waiting.

47
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: It had been sitting somewhere for two weeks. And my

48
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: wife turns to me and you, guys, I'm gonna get

49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: ripped for this, that's fine, and she goes, you know,

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: we may have to get you to tweet something at

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: them or go on social media and say something because

52
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: I have, like, what are a little following? And so

53
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: I reached I at Shutterfly. Hey, I've been using you

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: guys for a while. This is incredibly poor service. I'm

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: so disappointed. You know. They respond within the hour. Then

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: they d m me, hey, what's the information on your thing?

57
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Within twenty four hours they sent out a brand new

58
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: batch or total new order, and within forty eight hours

59
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: we got the cards. And I'm sitting there on a

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: turn to the wife. Last night, and I'm like, oh

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, So people who aren't like in media or

62
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: whatever have significant social media followings, what do they do?

63
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Do they just get shafted? Do they have to just

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: sit there and wait for their cards? And I did

65
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: one tweet and they're like, oh yeah, let me help

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: you out, blah blah blah, and boom. It was done

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: in forty eight hours. And Gavin, I probably should not

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: admit that, but this is just honest, you guys, this

69
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: is what you know. I've been doing this like, I

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: was stunned at the reaction and the swiftness, and I'm like,

71
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, wow. I do feel bad for people

72
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: out there who sadly like aren't on social media or

73
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: in a position of hey man, I'm gonna raise some

74
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: hell if y'all don't do something. And I've done that

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: with the airlines before and they all, I mean, other

76
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: people have had success with the airlines. But no one

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: else is going to fight for you, Jason, No nobody.

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: You gotta fight for yourself, well said, yes, all right,

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: So let's get to some actual sports. It's actually a

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: pretty bonker sports weekend. We have college football today, Championship weekend,

81
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys saw me on the herd Uh

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: yesterday touting one big, huge college football Beta made. We

83
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: haven't done a lot of college football bets. Gavin's made

84
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: a bunch. Uh, he's our ace degenerate. And remember he's

85
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: still doing a victory lap for hitting the Raptors two

86
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: years ago and rubbing it on my face as he should.

87
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: I would probably done the same. I am bummed that

88
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: my Russell Wilson m v P future isn't gonna hit

89
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: tear that bad. And and I'm back on the fire

90
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Clay Hilton bandwagon. So Fireclay undefeated. And then he goes

91
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: into the Oregon game. And then how do you lose

92
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: to the back a team they weren't even expected to

93
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: be there? I mean, I don't know what was a

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: spread on that. I'm just curious. I'll check. I want

95
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: to cheese. And they lose. Didn't even get off the

96
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Hail Mary at any rate. Uh, there's a lot of

97
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: good college football today. Clempson Notre Dame is incredible, should

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: be at least. I'm not that excited for Alabama Florida.

99
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: I did have a play on the total, which is

100
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: um basically Arena league totals in that one and then

101
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: of course two NFL games today. Very excited for those,

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be the most square teaser

103
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: on planet Earth is to tease the Packers down, um,

104
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: and tease the Buffalo Bills down, and you get both

105
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: under a field goal. And I think that feels like

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: a slam dunk. Although Drew Lock, yes that Drew Lock

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: may have something to say about it, or Teddy covers

108
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: seventeen and two against the spread as a road underdog,

109
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: just dropping knowledge. Um. So there's Saturday NFL and then

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: Sunday is a pretty weak slate. I think there's only

111
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: one game featuring two teams over five, and that's you know,

112
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: Chief Saints. How about the swings Late this week on

113
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, Drew Brees in all of a sudden,

114
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas out all of a sudden, And I gotta say,

115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: on the Drew Brees thing, I'm just listen. I am

116
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: hopeful Drew Brees old mand Brees is okay, but he

117
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: busted up eleven ribs and he's coming back, and oh yeah,

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: heads up, they have a game on Christmas short week

119
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: ahead against Minnesota. Now you could say Jason the Vikings,

120
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: they can't get to the quarterback, Drew Brees will be fine.

121
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying quick turnaround against Chiefs and Vikings, and like,

122
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: you want to get to a super Bowl, you gotta

123
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: have Drew Brees upright, I don't. I think we can

124
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: all agree Taystom Hill is not winning a Super Bowl.

125
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: So I'm a little surprised at the decision. Um, the

126
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas news came out of nowhere. I mean, I

127
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: guess I you know, you had a decent game against

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I think he had like seven or eight catches,

129
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden he's hurting, not playing. Um,

130
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: So I will say this before we get to what

131
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: I think is the best story of the weekend. Um,

132
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: just keep an eye on cluster injuries this weekend in

133
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's gonna be easy to just lay the

134
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: wood and everybody's gonna want to take favorites. But if

135
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: you look at what's going on in the secondary in Denver,

136
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: the secondary in Philadelphia, uh, the Washington offense, Like, just

137
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: be careful, guys. A lot of cluster injuries here heading

138
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: into um Christmas weekend. Next weekend, um, so, Pat Mahomes

139
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: vers Drew Brees is fun, but I think Pat Mahomes

140
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: versus Aaron Rodgers is a little more exciting. It's basically

141
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: the m v P. You know, Gavin said earlier that

142
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was in the mix. He was like the

143
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: leader for the first three or four weeks, and then

144
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: we had Kyler Murray make a guest appearance when he

145
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: had to hail Murray. That's quickly been squelched, although he

146
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: had a nice game last weekend, and now it's basically

147
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: come down to, you know, Aaron Rodgers against Pat Mahomes.

148
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: An m v P kind of annoys me because remember

149
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: in the NBA, Janice has now won the m v P,

150
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: I believe twice in a row. And in the off

151
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: season in Greece, Janice was asked like, you know, who's

152
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA or something along those lines,

153
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, we know, Lebron is the best player.

154
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: And you know you read that and you're like, wait,

155
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Lebron's the best player, you won the m v P.

156
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: How does that work out? And you I think the

157
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: same thing kind of sort of applies in the NFL,

158
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Like Pat Mahomes had three picks last week. Now. Two

159
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: of them were weirdo tip dinner tip drills. The other

160
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: was a zav And Howard diving backwards pick in the enzoe,

161
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: which was one of the five best interceptions you'll see

162
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: this season. And it's like everybody wants to sell Mahomes

163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: off that game, and I'm like, really against the elite secondary,

164
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: he didn't have his best performance, but they still want

165
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: and you really are selling Mahomes. Let's load up on

166
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, who's carving up one of the weaker schedules

167
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I'm just surprised, Like I think two

168
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: things can be true on a in a usual year,

169
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is the most talented quarterback in the league.

170
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: I've been saying that for years. He's more talented than

171
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I don't think there's a big argument there.

172
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: Brady obviously has a better resume, he's one more, But

173
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: then along comes Mahomes and it's almost like Pat Mahomes

174
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers on steroids. I know that sounds insane

175
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: to say, but anything Rogers can do, Mahomes can do better.

176
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: I really think Patrick Mahomes is off the charts. Good guys,

177
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: I know it's Jason. You're gushing over a five million

178
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: dollar quarterbacks settled down, I would if I could. But

179
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: if you watch him weekend and week out, he's doing

180
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: incredible things. Rodgers is too. It's you know, it's it's

181
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: a very difficult decision. Um. Rogers face is one of

182
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: the worst secondaries in the league this week in Carolina.

183
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: So if he has five touchdowns tonight, are we gonna

184
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: go gaga and hand at Daron Rodgers Mahomes me while

185
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: facing a top five defensive unit in the New Orleans Saints.

186
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: So if Mahomes only has two TVs and maybe throws

187
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: a pick, are we selling him like it's it's a

188
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: little bit silly at the NBA, NBA m v P silly.

189
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: We know that in the NFL MVP Awards becoming the

190
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: same thing. I just I think this is a game

191
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: where Aaron Rodgers is out for blood. Okay, he knows

192
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: we need the number one seed. Last year, Carolina pushed us,

193
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: and I remember that because McCaffrey got stopped at the

194
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: goal line. I was on the other side, needing the

195
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: touchdown for the cover Um and it was just it was.

196
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: It was a tough one. I think this Carolina team

197
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: could hang no no McCaffrey today. Um, but they've had

198
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: their full complemental receivers. And what you're gonna he is

199
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: the Packers give up a lot of points, meaning Aaron

200
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Rodgers has to put up a lot of points. And

201
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a fun ish but annoying m

202
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: v P discussion. If that makes any sense at all?

203
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: Who who would you take? Uh, Chris MVP? Where you're

204
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: a Detroit Lions guy, so you see Aaron Rodgers a lot.

205
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: Are you a Rogers over Mahomes MVP guy? No? I

206
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: I think for me it's rough. I because I I

207
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen I've been so busy this year.

208
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 1: I haven't seen too many Chiefs games. I think I

209
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: would still lean Mahomes over Aaron Rodgers just because I

210
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: just I think the value that Mahomes brings that team

211
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: is just so great. It's just I know Rogers is

212
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: we kind of expect him to do great things, but

213
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: he's had, he has he has quite a bit built

214
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: around him to neither of these guys are on islands.

215
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: I think I still lean Mahomes though, just because of

216
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: just the different weapons he brings to the table. Yeah,

217
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: and don't forget the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line is

218
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to say shambles, but they've got some

219
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: injuries that tackle um you've got to monitor or that

220
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: leading up to the game. And as you, as Chris

221
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: just said, like you got Davante Adams probably the best

222
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: route runner in football right now, you got Aaron Jones,

223
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: a top six back in the NFL. Like you also

224
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: have some really bad losses. That Buccaneers lost the Buccaneers

225
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: as Yeah, he like gave up in that game. I

226
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: don't think that would happen to Mahomes. It definitely hasn't

227
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: this year. So yeah, I think I think Mahomes has

228
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: never lost a game by more than one score. That

229
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: Raiders game by eight was like his biggest loss ever

230
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: um earlier this season. And I don't know. I I

231
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: guess part of me loves Mahomes because I realized how

232
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: wrong I was about him. I mean, outside that Raiders

233
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: seems they're just they've they've just beating everyone. That's that's

234
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: all you can really ask for. At the end of

235
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: the day. When you're looking between the two is that

236
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: they've beaten everyone, whereas the Packers have just been more

237
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: shaky and a couple more games. There's been games where

238
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: the Packers just get run out of the building NFC

239
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: Championship game last year. You know that just doesn't happen

240
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: to Pat Mahomes. He's that good. Um. I guess my fine.

241
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: A little I thought would be that I was so

242
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: wrong on Mahomes coming out of Texas Tech, and I

243
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: think a lot of people were. But I mean, I

244
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: just remember I and this is a learning experience, which

245
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: is good for me. You need to have these losses.

246
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: The failure, like I completely with all I saw was

247
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: I had tunnel vision on Big twelve quarterbacks. They don't

248
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: play defense in that conference. Scores are like seven, Like

249
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: how can you judge a quarterback? All the Big twelve

250
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that have come out have stunk. Give r G

251
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: three's rookie season gets a pass um but everyone else,

252
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: like you can't read a defense. And Pat Mahomes has

253
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: just obliterated that. And yes, I'm sure Andy Reid has

254
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: helped um. And you could argue that Ryan Tannehill is

255
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: a Big twelve quarterback who's now emerging after getting away

256
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: from Adam Gaze. Um, don't make me talk jets. Uh,

257
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: but maybe the tide is turning that the league in

258
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: the NFL is becoming less focused on defense and it's

259
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: an offensive show case I got. I watched Chargers Raiders Thursday,

260
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: and I didn't see a lick of defense, Like none.

261
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Joey Bosa tried his best to get in

262
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: the backfield a bunch and other than him, like nobody's

263
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: guarding anyone. There's no defense being played. This is this

264
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: was September was the highest scoring month in NFL history.

265
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Now that's come down a tick, but nobody plays defense,

266
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: and maybe the NFL is gonna start to look like

267
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: the Arena League or the Big twelve. And that's not

268
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. We know, you know, offenses.

269
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: I pleasing, um, but I guess if you had to

270
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: ask me gun to head, I would have to still

271
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: leave Patrick Mahomes for the MVP award. All right, So

272
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: we have a fun show ahead coming up next is

273
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: I watched Ben Simmons Philly Pacers highlights on the TV.

274
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: Here I start thinking back to the open of the

275
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: show last week, and you guys know, like the goal

276
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: is to be ahead of the curve. You don't. You

277
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: don't always be reacting to news. Everybody reacts to news.

278
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: You can turn on any radio show in America today

279
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: and they're reacting to stuff. We want to be ahead

280
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: of the curve. If you listen to what we said

281
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: last week. We opened the show blasting James Harden. I

282
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: compared him to um my kids and iPad usage and

283
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: video game usage. What comes out on I think it

284
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: was Tuesday or Wednesday this week, massive story on the Rockets, catering,

285
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: bending over backwards to whatever James Harden wanted. We try

286
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: to be out of the curve on the show and

287
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: coming up next, Jared Dudley last week gave it to you.

288
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: He said, within ten days, James Harden is getting traded.

289
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: This is days seven. Is it happening? Is it gonna

290
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: be the sixers? We'll talk about that next year on

291
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Back here on Fox Sports Radio, Oh

292
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: college football betting, we're gonna talk about Shortley. But first

293
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: it's time for the Geico Play of the day. Thomas

294
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: back to prow pressure runs to the side, Paul is

295
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: caught by alignement. He'll be an illegal receiver and this

296
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: ball game is gonna finally end frame of a lifetime

297
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: per an offensive lineman and Drew Mores. But it doesn't

298
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: mean a thing. Mario quest them all gets in. Oregon

299
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: repeats as the Pack twelve champion. That was Jerry Allen

300
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: from Learfield I MG College. Oregon defeats USC in the

301
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Pack twelve championship. Tough loss for USC, but all I

302
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: keep hearing is that you know, everybody wants the coach gone,

303
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: and they were undefeated. They should They didn't deserve to

304
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: be there. Just such an ugly mess as usual at USC.

305
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: Do you own a rent your home? Sure you do. Fortunately,

306

311
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: lot of college football betting, and I gotta be honest guys,

312
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: that we've done this. This is your five of the show,

313
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: and the first four years we would do college football

314
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: heavy betting. We would. The final hour of the show

315
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: is during the first hour of college football kickoff games.

316
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: It is fun. We talked about it, and this year

317
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: has sucked for for college football. It's been awful. UM

318
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: games canceled because of COVID players opting out. It's just

319
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: not normal. And I I have you know again as

320
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: as the authenticity in me trying to be completely real

321
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: with you guys. UM, I'm not the best adjuster. Uh.

322
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: If I to put that politely, UM, I'm a very

323
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: routine oriented guy. And if I have to come off

324
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: that routine, UM, it's it's just not great. And I'm

325
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: working on that. I am working on that personally. That's

326
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: one of my big UM issues. UM. I like to

327
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: do things my way, and UM, if if it doesn't

328
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: really go down, then it's I'm not thrilled with it.

329
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: And if I have to come off that routine to

330
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: do this that the other For instance, you know, you

331
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: get something in the mail from the insurance company and

332
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: they have this all these problems. You gotta call them.

333
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: That's like an hour of your day to get on

334
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: the phone and talk to somebody. And I like have

335
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to do, and I gotta be honest.

336
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: College football, I would look into a game on Tuesday

337
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: earlier in the season and Wednesday and then the game's canceled,

338
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I just wasted two hours rooting

339
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: around college football games and now four of the games

340
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: are not happening. What am I wasting my time for?

341
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: So I just do in the towel um. However, this week,

342
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: since I knew Championship weekend was happening, I went and

343
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: studied big time college football. So we will talk about

344
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: a CC championship, which is that one Pacific for Eastern.

345
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Big Ten title game, SEC title game.

346
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: We will do plenty of that in this show. But

347
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: I quickly wanted to touch on James Harden and Ben

348
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 1: Simmons for a moment um, because you know, this is

349
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: probably a trade that we think is gonna go down.

350
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: We're not sure. Jared Dudley came on this show last

351
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: week and said, Hey, it's going down. James Harden is

352
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: getting traded, uh to Philly. Now here's what's interesting. I

353
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: don't think, and Gavin correct me if I'm wrong. I

354
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: don't think Jared Dudley said it was for Ben Simmons specifically,

355
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: because yesterday Daryl Morey came out and said, we are

356
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: not trading Ben Simmons and I'm like, huh, does that

357
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: mean they're trading Joel Embiid or is this Jerald Morey

358
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: just saying screw it. I'm gonna say I'm not trading him.

359
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: If I have to trade him, I gotta trade him.

360
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: That does happen a lot. The only difference is Daryl

361
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: Morey just got there. You got there like seven minutes ago.

362
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: I don't think you can say about one of the

363
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: two best players on your team, probably one of the

364
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: best players in the league, We're uh, we're not trading him,

365
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: and then turn around to trade him a day later.

366
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: So Morey could already be backing himself into a corner,

367
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: which is suboptimal for him. Here's what Jared Dudley of

368
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: the Lakers said about James Harden. He can only go

369
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: to philil There's nowhere else. Brooklyn doesn't have enough. Philly

370
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: has been Simmons. Look on the league, Denver, no Milwaukee,

371
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: no Wolsey say Miami Heroes not enough. You don't they

372
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: want to keep up hero If you Hero and Bam,

373
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: you can't give it those two. It has to be

374
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: there and when you don't want to discarded superstar and

375
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: James Harden, unlike other superstars, not being the most professional,

376
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: not being there. How different places to bad look and

377
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: when you can get an all star, its potential superstar

378
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: capability and Ben Simmons, you gotta take it. They don't happen,

379
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: it's only every way. Well that's Jared Dudley of the

380
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: Lakers on James Harden getting traded. And of course it

381
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: has appeared as if Harden is going to be on

382
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: the move. Everybody has the Woes alerts uh to their

383
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: phone way for it to happen, which of course a

384
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: frequent guest on this show because I've known him for

385
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: about twenty years. Um, and you just it feels like

386
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: it's imminent. Uh, so much disrespect being tossed around by

387
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: James Harden. My gosh, did you see how James Harden

388
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: was asked, so have you talked to the new GM

389
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: And he's like, haven't had a conversation with him. The

390
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: guys worked in the organization for years. He surely has

391
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: talked to him at some point. For him to just

392
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: come out and say that, it's just like hard to

393
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: just I mean, I don't know. There's guy's a piece

394

00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,240

397
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,879

445
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: poker player. Is that accurate? That is true? Ac When

446
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: we were we were colleagues, I was freelancing for the

447
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: Bergen Record, and I'm the most of the rest of

448
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 1: the time, I was vaguely making a living playing poker

449
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: in the underground clubs in New York City. A long

450
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: time ago. Okay, are you still doing that? I don't.

451
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't playing the underground clubs in New

452
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: York City. I do play occasionally in a home game,

453
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: although honestly we haven't done much card playing since the

454
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: pandemic began. And I was saying to a buddy the

455
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: other day, it sort of makes you realize just how gross,

456
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: from like a hygiene standpoint, gambling and poker and casinos

457
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: are now that you think about, like, you know, washing

458
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: hands and and all the stuff that we've kind of

459
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: gotten used to during the pandemic. So it's hard to

460
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: imagine going back to a casino and playing cards and

461
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: feeling the same way anytime soon. I've played in I

462
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: think two games a buddy in the backyard, you know,

463
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: like six dads are hanging out drinking and playing some poker,

464
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: and literally I'm using the hand gel probably every hand. Yeah,

465
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of what you gotta do. And

466
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: I know then your hands are all dry and you

467
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: feel like a weirdo. But and have you have you

468
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: seen the pictures of like the card rooms in the

469
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: casinos where it's like you're basically in like isolation chamber

470
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: and like they're it's like they're passing the cards under

471
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: like glass and stuff. I mean, it just does not

472
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: look fun at all. I will not be doing that

473
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: so anyway, So Sam has moved on up is now

474
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: at ESPN. I love the title Global Sports Correspondent, and

475
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: he dropped a story about Stefon Diggs, who has been

476
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, listen, we talked about Josh Allen being instrumental

477
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: in turning a corner and going from a sixty completion

478
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: guy to seventy uh and all of a sudden being

479
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: like one of the better quarterbacks in the league. I

480
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: didn't think it was possible. I didn't think Stefon Diggs

481
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: could help him that much. And it's incredible what Diggs

482
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: has meant for Josh Allen. Yeah, the partnership between the

483
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: two of them, I think is really I mean, it's

484
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: certainly better quicker than anybody could have imagined. But you know,

485
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: people have asked me a bunch like, you know, what

486
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: do you think the biggest difference between Diggs this year

487
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: versus last year is? And I mean it sounds crazy

488
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: to say, but I honestly think it's just that he's happier.

489
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: You know, we like to look at these athletes and

490
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: say they're robots. They should be able to perform, you know,

491
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: whatever the situation. But there I think in a lot

492
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: of ways, like you and me, if you're not happy

493
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: with your work situation, it kind of affects everything that

494
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: goes on in your life. And I think Diggs is

495
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot happier in Buffalo. He's with a young quarterback,

496
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: he's a a team that's on the rise, and it's

497
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: pretty clear that that's allowed him to take his game to,

498
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: you know, the level that he really thought he could

499
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, where he felt like he just wasn't getting

500
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: the opportunities. Yeah, it seems like, uh, and again maybe

501
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: I'm reading into this, but Diggs was not thrilled when

502
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski came in and shifted the offense to a

503
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: more run heavy attack. Um and then Diggs went on

504
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: to put out some social media posts that apparently piste

505
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: off everybody, and they were like, all right, we gotta

506
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: get him out of here, but I'm gonna spin it forward.

507
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: We like to do that on the show SAMP. If

508
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: it indeed was Stefanski's shifting of the offense, should we

509
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: read something into Odell Beckham in Cleveland. You know, that's

510
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: an interesting point. I mean, I think it's one of

511
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: those things where I think, you know, you'll always sort

512
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: of look at these things from two two sides. Right.

513
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: You can take the side of the team, you know,

514
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: and say, hey, it's their money, it's their offense, it's

515
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: their coaching staff. They can decide to use the players

516
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: and the resources and whatever way they want, and like, look,

517
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: I'm not a football expert, and obviously Dalvin Cook is

518
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: really good, so you know, you can't look at what

519
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: the Vikings did and say, oh, that was definitely the

520
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: wrong decision. But I think the other side of it is,

521
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: you have these talented players, whether it's Digs, whether it's

522
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, and these guys are able to perform at

523
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: a certain level, but you have to put them in

524
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: positions to succeed. From two thousand eighteen to two thousand nineteen,

525
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: Digs his touches went down almost So is that putting

526
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: a guy in position to succeed? He felt not, And

527
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say clearly it wasn't. And

528
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: now he's in a place where he is able to succeed.

529
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: And whether it's Diggs or Beckham or whoever. I think,

530
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, the majority of the of the job for

531
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: coaches and executives in the NFL and in all pro

532
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: sports is just putting their talented resources in the best

533
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: position possible to succeed. And I think, now you're seeing here,

534
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: here's what happens when Diggs is in that position. And

535
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: that's a weird thing. Like this is a passing league. Now,

536
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: everybody universally says the NFL, You've gotta pass to win,

537
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: passed to win. Stefanski comes in, shifts away from passing

538
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: to running. The Vikings get to the playoffs, kirk Cousin

539
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: wins a playoff game in New Orleans, of all places,

540
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: and then Stefanski gets the jobs and move on. And now, uh,

541
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is a passing league, but Stefanski is

542
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: winning with running. I'm really surprised by it. But it's

543
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: also kind of cool, right, He's going against everything else

544
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: in the league, similar to, hey, let's run with Lamar

545
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: Jackson last year in Baltimore. Totally. And I mean, look,

546
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of disruptors, and I think that there's

547
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: always value in creative thinking. There's always value and sort

548
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: of going against the grain, And I think honestly, in

549
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: talking to Diggs specifically, I don't even necessarily think that

550
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: it was a full on DEVA wide receiver I'm not

551
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: getting the ball enough situation. I think part of it

552
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: was that he felt like the Vikings weren't being straight

553
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: with him. If they wanted to say, hey, look, we're

554
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna zig when everybody else zagging, and that means less

555
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: touches for you, get used to it. I honestly think

556
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: that might have gone over better. My sense from Diggs

557
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: was that it was we're gonna do those things, but

558
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna say to you, Hey, don't worry, You're gonna

559
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: still get your touches. Don't worry it's gonna change. Don't worry.

560
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: We still value you the same way that we did

561
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eighteen. And I think that he

562
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: just felt like, hey, why you know, why why are

563
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: you telling me it's sunny when it's raining, you know

564
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like I think once that once that

565
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: trust was gone, that made it hard for him to

566
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: come to work. Yeah. Yeah, he used a different phrasing

567
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: on that one. Well well done for radio. Let me

568
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: ask we're talking with Sam Borden global sports correspondent for ESPN.

569
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you last nine months, like, how has

570
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 1: this shifted for your job? We know everybody's job has

571
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: been disrupted and changed, but I mean it's tough for

572
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: you to get on a plane now and go cover

573
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: something in Brazil or Mexico. Right, it was got me.

574
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: The global part of my job definitely has changed considerably. Um.

575
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's been a challenge. I mean,

576
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure like you, right, you're probably doing

577
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot of shows and a lot of appearances from

578
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: home or from you know, not able to go into

579
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: the studio. I haven't been on a plane in nine months.

580
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: That's probably the longest I've been in one place in

581
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: twenty years. Um. And you know the interviews that I've

582
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: been doing have been over zoom, you know, spending time

583
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: with guys in their houses, but on FaceTime. You know.

584
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: So the big challenge for me, and for I think

585
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: any storyteller is just how do you get to know

586
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: somebody to be able to write about them or do

587
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: a television piece about them in a way that's real

588
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: and genuine without actually being able to sit across from them.

589
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: And so it's challenge it's challenging for sure, but people

590
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: want content and you kind of have to figure out

591
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: a way to make it work. And that's what we're

592
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: trying to do. Which do you which is easier for you?

593
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: Zoom or FaceTime interviewing somebody? Um, you know, I have

594
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: to say I I for whatever reason, like zoom, I

595
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, the recording thing is easier. I

596
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: don't know, I can kind of like cast it onto

597
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: my TV if I need to, Like with digs, we

598
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: did that where like it was sort of like on

599
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: a big screen television, you know, in front of me,

600
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: where I found easier than face time. But honestly, it's

601
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: sort of like I'll take whatever I can get these

602
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: days because it's so hard to really get, you know,

603
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: any kind of a connection with somebody when you're doing

604
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: it electronically. Yeah, yeah, all right, Sam Borden gotta follow

605
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: him on social media. He's got I love the stories

606
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: he's doing. Their offbeat and you know, we try to

607
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: be a little offbeat on this show. And Sam, congrats

608
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: on all your success man, and happy holidays. Thanks buddy.

609
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Really nice to talk to you. Yeah, Sam Borden, Global

610
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: sports Correspondent ESPN uh you gotta go read that story

611
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: about Diggs. Stefon Diggs man is I mean what, It's

612
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: just an incredible season and it does pain me a little,

613
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: Gavin that when I looked at Okay, Tom Brady's leaving,

614
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: Belichick's ancient. Maybe the Jets can take over this division

615
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: that the Buffalo Bills have Josh Allen and Brian Dable

616
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: and a pretty good, pretty damn good coach in mc dermot,

617
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: And it looks like they may now have con troll

618
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: of the a f C, which which annoys the hell

619
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: out of me. I Like Flores, I don't know if

620
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm as in on Toa as everyone else. Um. I

621
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: do think Brian Dabo will be leaving them this summer though,

622
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: so honestly, maybe over to my team. Um, but the

623
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins too, I mean, they're not going away easily, you know. Now.

624
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: I do think that to A will be the worst

625
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: of the three quarterbacks that came out this year, but

626
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: he might be in the best situation. So yeah, that's

627
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: a good And listen, I'm not down. I mean, Trevor

628
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: Lawrence is what to the Jets unless they somehow win

629
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: a game. They're not winning this weekend at seventeen and

630
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: a half point dogs. But that all of a sudden,

631
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: that division to a Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence like,

632
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I want kind of want to make

633
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: a case and maybe I'll do it next um or

634
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: we'll do it next hour. But Marcus Mariota made him

635
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: some money Thursday night, and does he make sense with

636
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick? Could that work? Mariota in New England? We'll

637
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: talk about that next year on Fox Sports Radio, Felice

638
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: David DoD I love that song, all right, Uh as

639
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: much as I want to talk about Marcus Mariota and

640
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Holy cow, we've got some big news. Let's

641
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: go to Isaac Loewen Kron. What's going down, Isaac in

642
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship game? Well, Jason, Ohio State has

643
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: just announced that it will be without twenty two players

644
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: for today's Big Ten Championship game against Northwestern, including star

645
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: receiver Chris o lave A, starting linebacker Baron Browning, and

646
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: punter Drew Chrisman. So, twenty two Ohio State Buckeye players

647
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: unavailable for today's Big Ten Championship game against Northwestern. Jason

648
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: So the game, Isaac kicks off at I believe nine

649
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: am Pacific, right, correct, So you're telling me seventy minutes,

650
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: seventy five minutes before kickoff they announced their down twenty

651
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: two dudes? What are we doing? College? I mean, what's

652
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: happening here? Seventy they do? They just test this morning?

653
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? I didn't test yesterday. I

654
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: think what happens is I think these uh schools are

655
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: going to announce it at the last possible minute. That

656
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: they're regulated too, they don't cancel it. Yeah, I mean,

657
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: I mean, for example, in the NFL, you don't have

658
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: to release your inactives until you know, ninety minutes before

659
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: the game, and you don't have to put out your

660
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: injury reports on the Friday before the game against a

661
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: certain times. But if somebody's on the COVID list on Tuesday,

662
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: they announce it, right. That's that's correct. That's a league

663
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: mandated transaction. But it's more Wild West esque, if you will,

664
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: in college football. You know, now, listen, we don't even

665
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: know who. We don't have all the twenty two names, correct, Yeah,

666
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: we actually do. We do. How many year starters? Uh? Well,

667
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: it's at least the starting middle linebacker, the star receiver

668
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: or lava they're starting puncher. But yeah, I'm gonna have

669
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: to cross reference twenty two guys down. Let's guess four

670
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: maybe five starters. Okay, they're totally robbed of depth. If

671
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 1: someone comes up with an ankle, anything like depth could

672
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: be an issue. The way the strategy for Northwestern to

673
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: stay in this game. And I should have just given

674
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: out the college football picks earlier. Damn it, I would

675
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: look so smart. I bet Northwestern plus ten and a

676
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: half in the first half. Now, I don't like Northwestern

677
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: to win this game out right. However, their defense can

678
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: be plucky. I like that word plucky, and Northwestern offensively

679
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: can get a few first downs. This is not an

680
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State team with a juggernaut defensive end like one

681
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: of the Bosta brothers or like a Chase Chase Young.

682
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: They don't have that, and you know the defense has

683
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: been had like Indiana. Move the ball on them with ease,

684
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: and I think Northwestern if you great coach in Fitzgerald,

685
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: comes in with a really good game plan, obviously you

686
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: need the ball first, so Well State can't score, You've

687
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: got it. Basically, come out and and empty your playbook

688
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: in the first half and just to keep this game

689
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: within striking distance. And I can see them being down

690
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: seventeen seven, seventeen ten at halftime and then you win

691
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: your bet. Now, second half, you don't have to sweat it,

692
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: because I don't wanna have to sweat going against justin

693
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: fields in the second half. We've seen Ohio State just

694
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: pull away time after time. It looks like, Isaac, I'm

695
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 1: seeing another tweet from Pat forty that, um there, there's

696
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: it looks like it's gonna be there. More than uh

697
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: three starters out so could be could be up to

698
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: five to two key receivers. They're starting linebacker and they're

699
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: starting punter, which is no fuel. Position is huge obviously.

700
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: And you know, if you're Northwestern, you all of a sudden, now, hey, hey,

701
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: let's let's put on a punt block play, let's give

702
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: it a shot, let's try a reverse on our return,

703
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: Like this is your shot, Northwestern, Right, it's a big

704
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: tent title game. How many chance you're gonna get Ohio State?

705
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: And now they're down twenty two dudes? How many guys

706
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: travel you think for that game? Gavin eighty five? Yeah, yeah,

707
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna travel a hundred guys. So if you

708
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: travel eighty eighty guys and you're down twenty five twenty

709
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: two guys. Man. Now, the next level thing, Isaac, I'm

710
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: sure you're seeing this is that there is a twenty

711
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: one day rule if you test positive in the Big Ten,

712
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: right right, So that could affect their status is for

713
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: a potential college football playoffs semi final. And the thing is, obviously, uh,

714
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: they're not mandated to announce officially whether these people have

715
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: either tested positive or have been exposed, kind of like

716
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: it is in the NFL, but it would still affect

717
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: their eligibility. They're either going to be available or unavailable. Yeah. Yeah,

718
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: that's that's crazy. I mean, listen, they change the rules

719
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: to get Ohio State to play in the conference championship game,

720
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: so they could hopefully get them to the playoff. You

721
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: would have to assume the twenty one day rule is

722
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: going to go out the window as well. I mean,

723
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: NFL is adjusted to what is it seven or five?

724
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: I think it's maybe five for contact tracing and seven

725
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: if you test positive you need to several negative tests. Um,

726
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: we know the NBA is gonna adjust. This is the

727
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: year of adjustment, folks, like, just get real, just accept it.

728
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: It's it's not the end of the world. Look at

729
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: the Look at the PAC twelve title game. Who was

730
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be in it was at Washington, Gavin, Yeah,

731
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: Washington was supposed to be in it. They had a

732
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: million COVID tests, so they just took another team. Like

733
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: that's where we are. It's all adapting. And I personally

734
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: and at the point where I just think it's it's

735
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: for pr purposes, Like I wonder how much they actually

736
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: care because they change the rules depending on what fits them,

737
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: what they need. Yeah, and that's kind of you know,

738
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: I think adapting is the perfect word. Gavin. For instance, guys,

739
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: as my wife loves to tell people, um, I love

740
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: when the Christmas tree grows up. I don't love hanging

741
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: all that stuff and bringing lug in the crap out

742
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: of the garage so we can unbox it and put

743
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: it on the tree. I like watching it. I'll take

744
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: the pictures, but let me let me dig into an

745
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: NFL card. Okay, while you guys do that, and I

746
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: put the Christmas music on. This year, Gavin had to adjust.

747
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I'm gonna hang them, but I will

748
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: lead the charge in hanging stuff on the tree. It's

749
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: new Jason. You know, I can, I can, I can struggle.

750
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: And of course what did I do that weekend in

751
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: in the super contest in the NFL contest one and

752
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: four against the spread. I'm not gonna blame it on

753
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree? All right? Coming up next year, Fox

760
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: know what we like to do. To start the second

761
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: hour of the show, we bring him in NFL Picks.

762
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 1: But he also is a big Ohio State alum. Um.

763
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: The news broken the last twenty minutes that the Buckeyes

764
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: will be down twenty two players um, including a couple

765
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: of the best receiver um t A. First of all,

766
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: how are you? And then second of all, what's the

767
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: reaction to you? How state news? And do you have

768
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: money on the game? Hey Jason, Yeah, I mean it's

769
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: it's not unexpected. Um, you know, there were rumors yesterday

770
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: that a Crystal LaVey, who's the other number one receiver

771
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: or number number one leading receiver, I was gonna miss

772
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: the game and a few others. You know, Ohio State's

773
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: got multiple forms high started guys behind him. So that's

774
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: not you know, it's not the end of the world.

775
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: And um, you know, the line did drop a couple

776
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: of points yesterday. I think anticipation of this. I still

777
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: think they're they're gonna overmatch Northwestern. You look at Northwestern's defense,

778
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: you know they rank high, but my god, they have

779
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: faced nobody. I mean, they allowed a bad Michigan State

780
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: offensive score twenty three points on them. So I'm not

781
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, I need to to kind of see it

782
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: to believe it. I still think this is going to

783
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: be a free touchdown win for our state. Okay, I

784
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: bet the and I gave it out on the Straight

785
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: Fire podcast. I bet ten and a half first half Northwestern. Um,

786
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: I or is that is that safe? I feel I

787
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: feel all right about it. You know, down seventeen seven

788
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: and a half, it seems like it's maybe within reach. Yeah. Look,

789
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: Northwestern is always there's such a well coached team and

790
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: they actually have a you know, fairly legitimate quarterback in

791
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: Peyton Ramsey under center, so it's not it's definitely possible,

792
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: um that they can come out fast. I just think

793
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: Ohio States just totally different athletes, and you're you're talking

794
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: about you're in a dome. You know, it's just a better,

795
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: better track. You know you're gonna be hanging by a threat.

796
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: I think, do you have anything actionable on Alabama Florida?

797
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: I took the over. I think I got seventy four,

798
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: which is astronomical. And then Clemson. I unfortunately I loaded

799
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: up on Clemson and I hate it ten and a half.

800
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: But I mean I'm heavy on that one. Yeah, I

801
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: don't have anything, you know, that tangible to really add

802
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: to those two. I mean, I've been looking a lot

803
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: less in college football this year. There's so many guys

804
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: that are in and out, and you know, I'm a

805
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: stats guy, so you can't really crunch these numbers when

806
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: you don't know who they faced with guys in and

807
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: guys out, and you know who the backups are in

808
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: college it's really difficult. So you know, I'll probably have

809
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of action on on Florida. I think

810
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: just because, um, there's probably an overreaction to what happened

811
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: last week and tell us you and there's still a

812
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: very talented team, and I know Bama has been dominant,

813
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: but um, you know, I think getting Florida over seventeen

814
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: is probably the smart play. Notre Dame Notre Dame Clemson

815
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: to me is, um, you know if they went over

816
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: that number without Trevor Lawrence, I don't know why you

817
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't take the over sixty with Trevor Lawrence. So I

818
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: think that at total would be one that I would

819
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: look at. All. Right, let's get to the NFL Week fifteen.

820
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: I think there's only one game matching teams of winning records. Uh,

821
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: let's start their Chief Saints. Any edge either side? No,

822
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. Drew Brees in back as the starter. Chief's

823
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: fourth road game in five weeks, haven't covered in five weeks?

824
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: Do you have anything on that one? So I didn't

825
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: take this side. I will say, you know, we do

826
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: a Sharp Angles podcast, um every Thursday. And you know

827
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: this is before the Drew Brees news came out in

828
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: one of the you know, Rich Rebard does our fantasy

829
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: football analysis. You know said he couldn't believe that the

830
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: line was two and a half three And I said, well,

831
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: that tells you right there that Drew Brees are gonna play. Like,

832
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: there's no reason that line it was gonna dip from

833
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: four below a key number to two and a half

834
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: unless there's really smart people out there, sharp people that

835
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: knew Breeze is gonna play. So that doesn't surprise me.

836
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: Here's here's what, Um, you know the way I look

837
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: at this, So how do you kind of slow down that?

838
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: But slow down? In quotes Patrick Mahomes, you do it historically,

839
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: You've done it with with a pass rush where you

840
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: don't have the blitz, right, so you get pressure with

841
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: your front four. Um, kind of play everything in front

842
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: of you in the secondary, keep everything in front of you. Um.

843
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the Saints do. Saints are seventh

844
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: and pressure rate, but they're only middle of the pack

845
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: in terms of blitz rate, so they don't they don't

846
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: blitz to get their pressure, which is key. Now you

847
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: have you know, they don't have Mitchell Schwartz already missed

848
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: the last few games at at the right tackle. Uh,

849
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: they're left tackle. Fisher is questionable. Their backup Mike Remers

850
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: is questionable as well, and he's the backup to the

851
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: He's been the right tackle since sports have been down,

852
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: So you might be without your top three tackles against

853
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: a really good pass rush. You know, it's a lot

854
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: harder to find the deep shots Tyreek Hill and Hardman

855
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: Um when you're being you're being blited or being rushed

856
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: like that. So I think that's one way that they

857
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: can definitely slow down the homes, so both guys are out.

858
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: I think that definitely is a clear advantage um for

859
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: the Saints upfront and then the other side of the ball.

860
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it came to see defense has

861
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: has you know, struggled a little bit of late. They

862
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: can't stop the run, So we know that that's what

863
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: the Saints do. You know, doesn't hurt that Michael Thomas

864
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: isn't playing. Sure, Um, I think this line is fair

865
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: at three. I don't have an edge of there, uh

866
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: personally either way, but I think it would be a

867
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: great game. I think that the Saints are gonna put

868
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: a lot more pressure on the Homes and I think, um,

869
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of the general public expects. We

870
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: saw the Ravens try that. It did not work well.

871
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: The Ravens. No, no, no. So the Ravens are number

872
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: one in the NFL and blitz rate, that's that's the difference.

873
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: They don't generate pressure unless they blitz, and Mahomes destroys

874
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: teams who blitz, and the and the Saint are only

875
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: average NFL team in terms of blitz rate. They get

876
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: pressure without blissing. That's how you That's why the Chargers,

877
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: who are who blits the least, the mountain the nifliner.

878
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: That's why. That's why they keep games close against the

879
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: Homes because they get pressure with Bosa and England and

880
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: those guys, and they keep everything in front of them.

881
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: That's why the Niners last year in the Super Bowl,

882
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: they don't bliss either. They got all their pressure up front.

883
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: So that that's the way. That's the formula beat. So

884
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: it looks like Remors is doubtful on the injury report,

885
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: Fisher is questionable. So no depth at all. Uh Fisher

886
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: at a full practice Friday. Yeah, I probably will stay

887
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: away from this and try to enjoy watching it. Is

888
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: there a game you absolutely love in this one? Uh? Well, actually,

889
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: today I like, I like the game. Okay, I like

890
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: the Panthers tonight. Um, I got them at nine. I

891
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: don't know what it is in your context, looks eight

892
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: and a half in the contest. Is this is perfect?

893
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a perfect setup for Teddy Bridgewater,

894
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: who's just a covering machine. I mean, um, as an underdog.

895
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: The Panthers are seven and three this year against the spread,

896
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,479
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna fear this Green Bay team. They've

897
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: they've placed one of the toughest schedules in the NFL.

898
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: They went into Kansas City and we're leading a lot

899
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: of that game. They lost by two points. They went

900
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: into New Orleans with Drew Brees and they lost by

901
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: three points. Um. You know, they just lost at Minnesota

902
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: two weeks ago by one point. Is a good offensive team,

903
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: so they played some of the best offensive teams in

904
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. So you know they're not gonna be intimidated

905
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: by going up against Aaron Rodgers and Duvine pe Adams. Um.

906
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: And again, they play kind of a soft zone. They

907
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: they try to you know, they don't want big plays

908
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: being thrown over their heads, so they keep everything in

909
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: front of them and tackle well. So on paper. Everyone

910
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: looks at the Carolina numbers and it doesn't look great

911
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: from a secondary standpoint, but they just are really well coached.

912
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: So um, but in terms of you know, a cover,

913
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's no quarterback. I probably want the NFL down,

914
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, uh ten points and needing to to score

915
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: back door, you know, touchdown or field goal and Petty Bridgewater.

916
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: So I really like, really like that spot there for him.

917
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: And you look at the defense for Green Bay, you know,

918
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: they just aren't. They don't have the same pass rush

919
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: that they've had in the last couple of years. Their

920
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: twenty second in pressure rate UM and they faced one

921
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: of the softest schedules of opposing UM offensive lines in

922
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: the NFL. They haven't really faced any good off line uh,

923
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 1: like they will tonight. I mean Caroline is actually fifth

924
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL in terms of UM pressure rate alloud.

925
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: So he's gonna have the Petty bridge Water is gonna

926
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: have time to throw. He's twelve in the NFL with

927
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: a clean pocket in terms of QB rating. He's got

928
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: his his weapon back in DJ more um, Mike Davis

929
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: should be all makes some plays on the ground. I

930
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: think this game is a lot closer than than you

931
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: might think. So I think getting over a touchdown. Um,

932
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: and that backdoor possibility is a really nice number for Carolina.

933
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's square, but the teaser, the

934
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 1: Saturday teaser of Buffalo down to pick and Green Bay

935
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: down to like one and a half or two or

936
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Um, it feels like a light up,

937
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: doesn't it. I mean, unless you think Denver's Drew Lock

938
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: is gonna do some major damage. Um. I mean, do

939
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 1: you think don't actually that over over? I think there'll

940
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: be some points in that game, but Denver's without the

941
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 1: top five quarters, I mean, they're just Buffalo is gonna

942
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: spread them out and throw all over them. So I'm

943
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: not worried on that. And as much I want to

944
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: say that, like I said, Kansas City, Caroline went into

945
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City lost by two and they lost by three

946
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: at normal, you never know there might be a one

947
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: or two point game, so just be careful on that number.

948
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: I'd almost rather do just a moneyline party. I wouldn't.

949
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: I would do a mondayline parlay Green Bay and Buffalo.

950
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: I think you get about the same odds, and you,

951
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: you know, don't have to worry about you know, a

952
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: random one or two points, you know, win for green Back.

953
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the cluster injuries in the Denver secondary.

954
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: I wrote about this in my weekly Picks column at

955
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: Fox that Philadelphia has a similar situation, and they're facing

956
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: an Arizona team that has run the most four wide

957
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: receiver sets in the league this year. I would assume

958
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: Kingsbury can have a lot of success with Kyler here. Yes,

959
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 1: there is some worry about the Arizona defense showing up

960
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: to stop the run, but I irrationally like Arizona. I

961
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: know it's a big number. Uh Jalen hurts on the road.

962
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: I I think Arizona wins and covers at home. I

963
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: actually agree with you. I think I've got Arizona as

964
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: well in your rights. I mean, the cluster injuries are

965
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: pretty big. I mean they're they're already The Eagles are

966
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: without Avonte Maddox, who hasn't been great this year. But

967
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: you know that's still, um so someone they've got to

968
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: worry about in the secondary. Um Darius Slays got a concussion.

969
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: He is not passed protocol just yet. Um he's questionable

970
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: and he hasn't played great, But at least He's a

971
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: guy you could put on DeAndre hot Hopkins. He's a veteran.

972
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: The one of their backups, Grayland Arnold, who've never heard

973
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: of before, but he's questionable with a hamstring. Um, and

974
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: they've already you know, they've got a guy named Kevin

975
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: seymour Um who's gonna fill in, who hasn't barely taken

976
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: any snaps uh this season. So I mean they've got

977
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: guys you've never heard of in the secondary, but they've

978
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: lost um. You know, the only other guy they really

979
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: have is Nicole Kobe wrote cole uh Nickel, Roby whatever,

980
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: And I always get that three names, Robie Coleman, He's

981
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna be the most likely the slot corner. But make

982
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: Lonster is short. Their depth is really gonna be tested.

983
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: And like you said, against a receiving corps that you

984
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: could spread out could be an issue. And we know

985
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: the Eagles where they struggle is stopping the run in

986
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: terms of quarterback run. And we saw Daniel Jones had

987
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: two months or games on them, you know, we remember, yeah,

988
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: and Lamar had a big game against him, So I

989
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: think you know, we saw Kyler run the ball a

990
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: lot more last week and to get thirteen carries after

991
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: only producing a handful of carries the last couple of games.

992
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: So I think they get that going and that's an issue.

993
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: And look and Jalen Hurts played Okay, the only attempt

994
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: that seven passes over ten yards last week, Okay, it

995
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: was two of seven. So everything was that quick rpo game. Um,

996
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna be ready for it. They finally got film

997
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: on him. You know, the Saints came in, you know,

998
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: essentially cold, right, you said no film on Jalen Hurted.

999
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: What was surprised that the Saints were bum rushing off

1000
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: the edge and just open huge lanes for Jalen Hurts.

1001
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean he was just picking up like eight yards

1002
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: a carry. I was done by that defensive strategy. Yeah,

1003
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: they were not ready for him for sure. And so

1004
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Hurts is a good runner, but he's not.

1005
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: It's not Lamar Jackson. He does not Kylin Murray doesn't

1006
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: have that speed to get around the edge. So you

1007
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: can contain him. He's more of a bigger, bigger body.

1008
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 1: He can run over you. So I think there's ways

1009
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: to contain him if you if you kind of keep

1010
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: keep those lanes there. Um, and I'm just not convinced

1011
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: that he's you know, I'm gonna throw up and down

1012
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: the field. So I think Arizona they get a leader early.

1013
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: Obviously that's gonna be a big deal. Whereas Philly took

1014
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: the lead last week on the Saints and book you

1015
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: got Taysom Hill. He's not a guy who's gonna come back.

1016
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: So it's a different story with Kylin Murray. So but

1017
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: I think if you get under seven here, I think

1018
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: it's a good number for the for the cargo. Alright,

1019
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: So from a game we agree on to when we

1020
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 1: may disagree on. Now, we've been on opposite sides on

1021
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins a lot this um, and it's you know,

1022
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: they're the best covering team in the ten and three

1023
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: against the spread. I love the Patriots here, I mean

1024
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: one and a half. The lines come down, I think

1025
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: it'll probably close around pick them. Um. I don't even

1026
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: need to go into the Belichick verst rookie quarterbacks and

1027
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: Belichick knowing to uh because he knows Sabin and um,

1028
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: Miami a little dinged up, but the receivers did practice.

1029
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like he's going to go the good

1030
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: tight end. Um t A. I don't know, can you

1031
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: can you back the Patriots here? Yeah? I mean I

1032
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: actually like them in a teaser I have them at

1033
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 1: eight points in a tease um with the Browns actually

1034
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: pick them. And you know, like you said, the Belichick

1035
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: thing is, you know, all over the place. So we

1036
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: already know all that. We saw what he did against Herbert,

1037
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: and Herbert's been awesome except for that one game against Bolichick. Um,

1038
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: so you know, we don't have to rehash all of that.

1039
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: But like you said, really to me, the handicapped was

1040
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 1: when you lose DeVante Parker and Jachim Grant and Mike Kasecki. Um,

1041
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: that's a huge deal. Now how many of them are

1042
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna play? They've been they were all limited. You know,

1043
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that Kaseki is play.

1044
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a bad shoulder injury and he

1045
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: didn't you know, he did not look good coming off

1046
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: the field. So even if he does play, how healthy

1047
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: is he? And if you lose Parker, I mean, what

1048
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: do you go to You already lost Preston Williams. Yeah

1049
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,959
Speaker 1: you know, yeah exactly, And you don't have a great

1050
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: This isn't a great passing offense to begin with, it's

1051
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: gonna have to manufacture throws and so I mean, I

1052
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: think from that perspective it keeps the game a low

1053
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: scoring and the other side of the ball, we know

1054
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: Cam Newton has been terrible in terms of throwing the ball.

1055
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: But what does Miami do the best? They defend the past,

1056
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: but they don't stuff defend the run. You're twenty three

1057
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: in d v O A against the run. They ran

1058
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: all over Miami in the opener. Do you remember that

1059
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: game was a twenty one I think the twelve final,

1060
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: so you could see something similar here. I feel a

1061
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: little more. I feel a little better, um getting over

1062
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: seven on a teaser. But you know, I think you

1063
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: probably are the right side. The only variable here that

1064
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,959
Speaker 1: is unknown is now that New England is essentially out

1065
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: of the playoff race. This is the first time in

1066
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: Belichick's such a Belichick's career that happened. Are there are

1067
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: the players gonna even care about this game down in Miami?

1068
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: That's the one area where is an unknown. Are they

1069
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: gonna be fully motivated? I don't know, and we're not

1070
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna We're not sure until so we see kickoff. So yeah,

1071
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: actually that I hadn't thought about that. Now, if Buffalo loses,

1072
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: that does open the door because the Patriots play Buffalo

1073
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: next week. And again it's a long shot for the Patriots,

1074
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: but you're right that that that could come into play. Um,

1075
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: let me hit you with one more totally random game,

1076
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: and I got a quick NBA question, Um, can you

1077
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: lay twelve twelve and a half with Pittsburgh? I know

1078
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: it's a big double digit spread, but um, off two

1079
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: losses facing Brandon Allen or Ryan Finley, I may just

1080
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: have to lay it with Pittsburgh. And I don't love it,

1081
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: but I mean it's Cincinnati has been ghastly the last

1082
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Yeah, so I'm not touching the side yet.

1083
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean maybe come Monday night, I think they're the

1084
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: right side. You know, I've talked on this show and

1085
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: I've just talked in general. You know, we've traded text

1086
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: back and forth about how Tomlin on the road the

1087
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: double digit favorite is historically really really bad, but that's

1088
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: because of motivation typically. Well, Pittsburgh is gonna be fully

1089
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: motivated after two straight losses. Um, and you know they

1090
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: still have a shot to get the number one seed,

1091
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: depending on what happens with the Chiefs in the Saints

1092
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, and we'll know that going in, so

1093
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: especially if the Saints win, I think it adds even

1094
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 1: more fuel to the to the Steelers fire here. But um,

1095
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Cincinnati is just a dumpster fire.

1096
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: Offensively with either Brandon Allen or Ryan Suindley, I think

1097
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: they have two offensive touchdowns since um Joe Burrow had

1098
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: gone out, and one of those was just a broken

1099
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: kind of a broken play. It was a swing pass

1100
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: to Tyler Boyd and he broke it seventy yards. Against Miami,

1101
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna get that. You know, that's kind

1102
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: of a flukey play that you don't expect to get anymore. Um,

1103
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: they couldn't score against I mean it's a bad Dallas defense.

1104
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: He scored seven points. I mean, it's it was pretty bad.

1105
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: You know, I think Pitts would be fully motivated, and

1106
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: I think offensively, you know, it's hard for the Steelers

1107
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: to throw the kind of short passing game dincon dunk

1108
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: offense against good defenses like Washington and Buffalo, um et cetera.

1109
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 1: But against Cincinnatti, which you know doesn't have a good secondary,

1110
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: you have a much better shot of producing, um, you know,

1111
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: marching up and down the field. So I think you're

1112
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 1: on the right side. I think I said, I haven't

1113
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: touched it personally, but I definitely to me it's Pittsburgh

1114
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: or past thirty seconds. Is there an NBA futures bet,

1115
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: whether it's m v P Championship team total over that

1116
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: you got that that you absolutely love NBA. You know

1117
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: I haven't. I'll be honest, I haven't. Dug deep. I

1118
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: will say the one long shot m v P I

1119
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: took just because, um, and now it looks kind of

1120
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: stupid this week, But I saw Ben Simmons m VP

1121
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: at six to one. You can get him almost a

1122
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: hundred of one. I just he's got shooters around him. Now, um,

1123
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: his assist total could really um skyrocket, and that offense

1124
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: that you know, more wide open offense when you've got

1125
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: Danny Green and stept Curry and some other shots around him,

1126
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: might be a little more open for some lane for him.

1127
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: So I think he's got a shot at you know,

1128
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: picking you can do kind of a Russell Westbrook average,

1129
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, a triple double. He's got a shot. And

1130
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: I think Billy is a top three seed in the East.

1131
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: So you know, from a long shot perspective, he's a

1132
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: guy I would look at um for for m v P.

1133
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: You know, otherwise I think maybe, you know, look at

1134
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: the rants numbers. I mean it looks like it looks

1135
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: pretty good in the preseason so far. So I mean,

1136
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: if you can get over ten to one with him,

1137
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: he might be a long shot. But you know, those

1138
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: are those are just two guys that that I would,

1139
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe toss a few bucks at Um in

1140
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: terms of m v P. But otherwise I have not looked.

1141
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: I am not dug deep in terms of wind totals

1142
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: or anything. Yet. The NBA season just as really quickly

1143
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: come upon. So um, I haven't had the time. No,

1144
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: I totally hear that, just quickly trying to look at

1145
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: the m v P. Uh. Yeah, it's take it forever

1146
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: to load. But all right, Ta anyways, thanks a lot

1147
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: for the time. Good luck this we can oh Jayson

1148
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: Tatum plus twenty six fifty any shot? Oh. I love

1149
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: Jayson Tatum. I thought he should have done number one

1150
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: in his draft, so I've always loved him. Seventy Wow,

1151
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: there's some good coin to be made there, all right.

1152

Speaker 1: T A have a great weekend. Good luck to your

1153

1167
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: I just want to say this is super random. I

1168
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: don't know how many markets were in in like the

1169
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: South and Midwest, but you know, you open Twitter sometimes

1170
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: just to see how people react to interviews and stuff

1171
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: you say on the radio, and somebody popped in a

1172
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton video. Um, I guess this is like the

1173
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: forty year anniversary of a TV show she had called

1174
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: nine to five. And every time I see a Dolly

1175
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Parton video, it's a movie. I'm sorry, it's before my time. Sorry, people,

1176
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: every time I see like Dolly Parton talking, she just

1177
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: has this friendly, folksy thing about her that gives off

1178
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: good energy. And Kyrie Irving would love that, right, Mr

1179
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: Sage burning Kyrie Irving. Um. And so I decided, you know,

1180
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: what's her story? I don't know Dolly Parton story. I

1181
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: just know, you know, obviously she's attracted and you know,

1182
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: longtime career. So I start reading a story. One of

1183
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: twelve kids. She was born in a one room cabin

1184
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Like, what a great story, married to the

1185
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: same guy her entire career. Do you know how hard

1186
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: that is to do in the show business game, Just

1187
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: stay married to one person like Dolly Parton has done

1188
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,959
Speaker 1: so much for share Like, this is a good story.

1189
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: This really is an uplifting story. Go go read about

1190
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton. Also, she was on a show that I'll

1191
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: never forget. I was a young kid and I had

1192
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: like a sick day or whatever, and I turned on

1193
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: the TV and like love Boats on and my mom

1194
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 1: and I watch it together, and like, I just started

1195
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: to like love Boat and I think the episode I

1196
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: saw with Dolly Parton was in it, and like love

1197
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Votes a great show, by the way, people, if you

1198
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: can search for it on your cable, although I guess

1199
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,959
Speaker 1: now people are cutting cable and only watch like YouTube TV,

1200
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: so maybe you can't find love Boat, but that's a

1201
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: good show. Um, and Dolly Parton just there's something about her,

1202
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: isn't there. I was Sam, she just has a like

1203
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: on a likability index, She's got a score off the charts. Yeah,

1204
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: she's very likable. Um, she's a national treasure. I mean

1205
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: she's done. She has a quite a catalog of good music.

1206

1208
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:03,360

01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: seem to be angry at beyond social media, and that's

1212
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,640

Speaker 1: keep up on some shows I've been I've been watching

1290
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: this show on nat GEO called Trafficked. Oh I heard

1291
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: about that. Okay, there's one about performance enhancing drugs steroids

1292
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: that will absolutely make it'll blow your mind. You'll cringe

1293
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: all the way through. I just watched it last night.

1294
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: It is so crazy. This one on steroids is called

1295
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Trafficked with Marianna von Zeller. Great show. Holy crap. Um.

1296
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: So they're saying steroids are bad. Oh yeah, No, it's

1297
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: just like underground world of like roiding and bodybuilding and stuff.

1298
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: But then there's one there's episodes on scams coming out

1299
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: of different countries, like scam calls, lottery scams, and also

1300
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: counterfeiting money. It's very fascinating. So speaking of that, uh

1301
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: I somebody told me about this. I guess this app

1302
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: you can get or or some it's something to add

1303
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: to your phone so that when you get one of

1304
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: those spam calls, it says spam risk as opposed to

1305
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: just like eight four four or whatever the numbers. I

1306
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: have that on my iPhone. Occasionally it'll say scam likely. Yes,

1307
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: I just don't answer those anymore. I don't answer any

1308
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: calls that are like from some random state at like

1309
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, eight in the morning. Yeah, I made a

1310
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: mistake answering one of those this week because somebody had

1311
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: told me literally five minutes earlier in a text messages,

1312
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: I'll call you on this. But they had moved recently,

1313
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: and I thought they were calling from their landline in

1314
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: the new area, and idiotic. You felt like such a jackass.

1315
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: I can say, jack okay, I'll stop. Not answer the

1316
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: phone if you don't if you call this people anymore,

1317
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: if it's a number, you know, if it's not a

1318
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: contact of yours, don't answer. Yeah, I'm with you on that,

1319
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: all right. So what we're gonna do some championship Saturday? Um?

1320
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: Can we even use that SEC championship music? No we can't. Okay, well,

1321
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: can you get some music while we get the brattle

1322
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: the picks off? The game start? In twenty five minutes,

1323
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: I was, um, uh, the Northwestern line has come down

1324
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: because of the Ohio State Buckeyes out. It looks like

1325
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: four starters. Now, folks, you know what's gonna happen now

1326
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: that everybody's like, oh Northwestern has a chance Ohio State,

1327
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna probably win forty nine fourteen. But I have

1328
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: bet Northwestern plus ten and a half in the first

1329
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 1: half in hopes that Pat Fitzgerald can deliver. Do you

1330
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: have any action on this game? Gather? I have none

1331
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: action right now. What I am waiting on this weekend

1332
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: is a Cults victory so their future can hit. Let's

1333
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: go look at that, all right, Iowa Sam Um, Big

1334
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: ten Big twelth correspondent. What is your pick here for

1335
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State Northwestern? Yeah? I like um, I like you

1336
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: Ohio State to cover just barely, something like twenty. I

1337
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: don't think it'll territory. I just think the Northwestern's defense

1338
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 1: is too good to allow over you know points. Okay,

1339
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: looks like the line has come down to seventeen some

1340
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: sixteen and a Half's interesting? Um, all right, I guess

1341
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Big twelve game. Is it the

1342
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 1: Big twelve title game or just a Big twel game

1343
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: since nobody nobody's going to the playoff. I don't really

1344
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: know what's going on in this game. Well I can,

1345
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: I can bring it up. Go ahead, So, uh, it's

1346
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 1: number six Iowa State taking on number ten Oklahoma. I

1347
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: believe the line now is six and a half, five

1348
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: and a half. Yep, I think Iowa State's won like

1349
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: five in a row. Oklahoma has won a handful of

1350
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 1: games in a row as well, So this was a

1351
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 1: rematch of a thirty seven thirty loss for Oklahoma versus

1352
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,799
Speaker 1: Iowa State last or earlier this season in Ames, Iowa.

1353
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: So should be a great game. Oklahoma's defense has definitely

1354
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: tightened up for the season. So let me see the raining.

1355
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: A year ago, at this time, Lincoln Riley was all

1356
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: the rage. Is he gonna go to Dallas? Who wants him?

1357
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: And now he's facing the prospect of losing to Iowa

1358
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: State twice. I know, Matt Campbell is a good cup.

1359
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma has won sixth straight. Before that day had lost

1360
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: two straight. That was the Kansas State Iowa State melt

1361
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: demand start out the year one and two. Okay, so

1362
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: what's the pick here? Spread five and a half? Iowas him.

1363
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: I do think Iowa State wins this game. I just

1364
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: think that they've had a charms season. You know, Bruce

1365
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: Hall was the offensive player of the year. They also

1366
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: had the defensive player of the year Coach of the

1367
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 1: year in Matt Campbell. Um, I like, I like Iva

1368
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: State here. I just think that they've got too much

1369
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 1: good mojo going mojo. Alright, Alabama Florida is looks like

1370
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: there's some uh some Florida money coming in. It was seventeen.

1371
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a sixteen, a fifteen and a half. Wow. Um,

1372
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm surprised people are betting on Florida. Here. Alabama, I'm

1373
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: being told this is by far the greatest team in

1374
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: the country. Gavin. I don't know if you've watched enough,

1375
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: They're they're just blitzing team, just crushing them by like fifty. Yeah. No,

1376
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: they're unreal. Mac Jones Heisman, Uh, this is actually the

1377
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Heisman matchup right here. You got Kyle Trashman the other second,

1378
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: so it's trash Is that where we are in the Heisman?

1379
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Kyle trask who you wouldn't know if

1380
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: he delivered you door dash last year at this time,

1381
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: and then Mac Jones. Uh, okay, I guess that's it. Um.

1382
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: I bet the over seventy four. It feels like a

1383
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: forty nine, Uh, you know, thirty kind of game, Ia,

1384
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Sam any any vibe here? I think, I mean, I

1385
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: think Alabama is far and away the best team in

1386
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: the country just because they've gotten through all their games

1387
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: and they there really hasn't been a close one. I

1388
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 1: don't think. Maybe that Georgia game for a little bit

1389
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: was close and then they end up winning by I

1390
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: think the seventeen. But it's a tough freed, right because

1391
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 1: Georgia's down, l s us down, and like, do we

1392
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: believe in Florida off the lost last? I think Alabama.

1393
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 1: I think Alabama covers this sixteen. I'm seeing here, all right?

1394
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: So those are the big games today in college football.

1395
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,799
Speaker 1: And we rounded out with Clemson Notre Dame. I loaded

1396
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: up on Clemson. Uh, Notre Dame's defensive coordinator just took

1397
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: the Vanderbilt job. So what does he do all week?

1398
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: You gotta build a staff. You gotta hit the recruiting trail,

1399
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: you gotta call all recruits, you gotta get the letters out.

1400
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you really have to focus on building next

1401
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: year's team. How much are you focusing on Trevor Lawrence? Like,

1402
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 1: just think about it, guys, when you're when you have

1403
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: a job and you're applying for a job another job

1404
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: in another company, in interviewing elsewhere, how much you locked

1405
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: in on your own work. I'm not saying he's hunting

1406
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: the game and not focusing, but wouldn't be surprised if

1407
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: Clemson came out and you know, Trevor Lauras dropped forty

1408
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 1: five on the Notre Dame defense. We saw his backup

1409
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of success in the first meeting and

1410
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Clemson was down three starters in that game on defense. Um,

1411
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:21,719
Speaker 1: I like Notre Dame, but I bet Clemson fairly big here, Gavin, anything,

1412
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 1: I would go with you on that. I mean, at

1413
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,600
Speaker 1: some point the experience matters in Dabbo Sweeney is just

1414
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: unstoppable in the postseason, so I would roll with Clemson.

1415
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: I also like Clemson Clemson this rematch, Gavin. You know

1416
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: in betting, when you see a public dog, you're like, oh,

1417
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: go the other way. You know, a lot of people

1418
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: are on Notre Dame and it's like, oh, well, Notre

1419
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: Dame on the first meeting, You're getting ten points at

1420
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: a neutral site, Like what's going on here? And I

1421
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: think if you dive deeper into who is betting on

1422
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, I mean, just like you said, it's the public. Yeah,

1423
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: the really sharp guys I think they're on alright, So

1424
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 1: big ten title game here in twenty minutes, the early kickoff.

1425
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 1: I'm assuming no fans at this game, right, It's on

1426
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: I see on TV it looks like tarp over all

1427
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: the seats. Yeah, I don't know if there's gonna be

1428
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: a family members of the teams there, but yeah there's

1429
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: there's no fan. Yeah, you know, we might get into

1430
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: that next hour. Gavin remind me we didn't get to

1431
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: it yet, but this whole like Brian Kelly and who's

1432
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: the other one. Yeah, they were basically saying we don't

1433
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 1: want to go if you can't have your fan, friends

1434
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,759
Speaker 1: and family, and the Rose Bowl saying yeah, that's not allowed.

1435
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,600
Speaker 1: Z all right coming up next year, Uh, quickly be

1436
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: honest and the super Max I haven't touched it. Will

1437
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: do a quick thing on that and maybe also squeeze

1438
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: in the Eagles and Wentz before we get to the

1439
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: final hour here on Fox Sports Radio. This is why

1440
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: he's the best in the business. I always say, I'm delivering.

1441
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton puts a little glisten in your eye, doesn't it.

1442
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Um, when the tree is

1443
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: lit and the fires burning and the lights are dimmed,

1444
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: get a little emotional listen. It's nice. I wish I had,

1445
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,719
Speaker 1: like you're right, a fireplace and some hot chol Actually

1446
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a hot chocolate kind of guy. I don't

1447
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: love hot chocolate. Um, what about apple cider with bourbon

1448
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: in it? Apple cider with bourbon in it? Back here

1449
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, it's me Jason McIntyre. I asked

1450
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 1: for a personalized whiskey barrel for Christmas. I don't think

1451
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. Um. I saw it onl the

1452
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Today Show or one of those morning shows. It's like

1453
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 1: a small barrel but hold whiskey. And it looks cool,

1454
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: like one of those barrels that like a dog would

1455
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 1: have around its neck like up in that. Yeah, one

1456
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: of those, and it like sits and then it has

1457
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: a spout. It looked awesome. I don't think the White's

1458
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: gonna get it for me. It's like, do you how

1459
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: often did you drink whiskey? Once every four months? It's like, well,

1460
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: I might start if this crap doesn't end. Um. Yes,

1461
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 1: everybody's close to their breaking point, folks. I just have

1462
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 1: done an astounding Google search of a barrel with a dog.

1463
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 1: I didn't know this was a thing. It's an old

1464
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: school so those dogs were sent up into the mouth.

1465
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: Well it was for it was just like going back

1466
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: and like the hundred a hundred years ago where someone

1467
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: would be trapped like in an avalanche, and a dog

1468
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: would have this barrel of whiskey or something around typically

1469
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: and then it would like it would provide, it would

1470
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: go run up there. Give this person the avalanche stuck

1471
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: there this whiskey so that they could, like diah a

1472
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: death that wasn't painful or something. Now there's just an

1473
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: app for that. We might need more research. This might

1474
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: need a tad more research. Iowa Sam, just going off

1475
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: on that one, Okay, but that would be a great gift.

1476
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 1: That sounds like the whiskey barrel. Well. Also the dog.

1477
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: I love dogs, and wife have the dog? I can

1478
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,760

1482
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: when you have like people over and you just break

1483
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,880

01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: could do that? And I was like, well, what did

1493
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: do the stocking the Christmas morning and then just all

1494
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 1: the presents on Christmas Day. So I said, okay, fine,

1495
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: we'll do it. So now we want to vote and

1496
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: we're going to open a president on Christmas Eve. So anyways,

1497
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,759
Speaker 1: all right, let's get to actual sports. Um quickly, Marcus

1498
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Mariotta Gavin does he quarterback the New England Patriots next year?

1499
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: Because Patriots are not gonna have a top ten pick. Uh,

1500
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like Cam's gonna be long for their stid. Hum,

1501
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: don't look like the guy. I thought Mariota look fresh

1502
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: and really really impressive. I know the Chargers weren't ready

1503
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: for him, but Marcus Mariota is the quarterback in the

1504
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: Patriots next year. I mean, I would think Mariota looks

1505
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: like what they wanted out of Cam, you know, being

1506
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. I would like him also.

1507
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: I just mentioned it in the break Matthew Stafford and

1508
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: I think would be a good fit in the in

1509
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: New England. Yeah, it looks like I just don't wonder

1510
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: why people will get rid of Stafford. He's good, he's

1511
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: a tough guy. I like him. I think he wants

1512
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: out of there, like we cannot win no matter what happened.

1513
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 1: Um looks like he's gonna start, by the way against Tennessee.

1514
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 1: I'm not touching that game, all right, Eagles and Carson Wentz.

1515
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 1: So I was looking as hard as I could to

1516
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: be interesting on where could Carson Wentz end up. The

1517
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: problem is he's got such a big cap hold next

1518
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 1: year that it's like they can't do much with him.

1519
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: They gave him this massive deal. It really starts in

1520
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 1: earnest next year, and it's like they can't cut him.

1521
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 1: They'll have to eat so much dead money that you

1522
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 1: just can't do that. So what they could do is

1523
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 1: trade him. And obviously the culture going to come up

1524
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: as an option given the Frank Wright connection. And are

1525
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 1: you trading for Carson Wentz at that salary? I don't

1526
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: know that that. Here's the thing, Philip Rivers this year

1527
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: costs million. Why would you bring in Carson Wentz who's

1528
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: million and he's not playing as well as Rivers is

1529
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: I think, I don't think they're gonna be able to

1530
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: move wents and they can't cut him, So then you

1531
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: get the embarrassment of starting if Jalen Hurts wins the job,

1532
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's making no money, second round money and

1533
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 1: and like you got thirty five mill on the bench

1534
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: like that. Just it's a rough situation in Philly. All right,

1535
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: let's quickly pivot um to the Jannae super Max. And

1536
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: I know we're wrapping up a lot of random stuff here,

1537
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: but um, I read something smart about how the best

1538
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 1: stories have two elements, a desire for something and some

1539
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:16,440
Speaker 1: type of opposition. And the desire for Janice obviously obviously

1540
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: is to win a title. And the opposition is like, well,

1541
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: we want your honest, but you want a title, come

1542
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: to us, said Miami, says Dallas as everybody, and your

1543
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: honest decided to sign the super Max now, right, the

1544
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: biggest contract in NBA history for a guy who just

1545
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: took up the sport thirteen years ago. It's a great story,

1546
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: but for it to become a really great story. He's

1547
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: got to carry them to the championship, and I can

1548
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: see this going spectacularly bad. Do you know what the

1549
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: pressure is gonna be on your honest? Now you signed

1550
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 1: the super Max, you got holiday give us a title.

1551
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: Like before it was like, oh, Budenholzer, he can't go

1552
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Now it's gonna be yeah, be honest,

1553
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta take us to the problems And Buddy,

1554
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think this is gonna work

1555
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 1: out long term for the Bucks. All right, coming up

1556

1569
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: college basketball tipping off. I didn't realize Gonzaga Iowa today.

1570
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: Holy cow, are you gonna give us a full preview

1571

Speaker 1: of that game? Gonzaga's look at stacked. They haven't played

1572
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: in two weeks because of COVID, so they're only at

1573
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: three and no, but should be a good game. Iowa

1574
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: has the big fella Garza. He's he's like a folk hero.

1575
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: There is he the biggest deal in Iowa since Roy Marble? No? Sure, well,

1576
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I just say he's putting that work. I'll just put in.

1577
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 1: I'll just say he's putting that works on. He's a worker.

1578
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: Steve Alford was Indiana. He coached Iowa to he coached Iowa. Okay,

1579
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the biggest play India played

1580
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: in Indiana. Who the biggest Iowa college basketball players? Roy

1581
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: Marbles up there? Um? Luke Luke? No? B J Armstrong.

1582
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 1: Sure sure, Iowa Iowa basketball it's uh maybe headed to

1583
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: the Final four this year. Louisville just tipped off against Wisconsin.

1584
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: This is a nice little showdown. This is a great

1585
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 1: weekend for sports. Um, it's not like anybody out there's

1586
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 1: going holiday shopping, right, You're doing it all from home, folks.

1587
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,640
Speaker 1: This might be the first year ever where I just

1588
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: ordered everything online. I know that's not good. I know

1589
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: that's not good. It's suboptimal. I know now some of

1590
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: it have been has been local businesses, not all Amazon. Um,

1591
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: local business online is better than nothing, right, Yeah, I

1592
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: mean you got to do your part to help out, um,

1593
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 1: the local businesses. That's important to the community. I saw this.

1594
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've talked about it on here

1595
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: or not. I saw this clip from the Wall Street

1596
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Journalist video. There was a small town in some uh

1597
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 1: I think it's in South Korea where they were doing

1598
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: the stimulus package where they gave everybody a certain x

1599
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: amount of money. And um, obviously everybody in America hears

1600
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: that and things socialism and panics. But in this town

1601
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,679
Speaker 1: there was restrictions on the money. You could only spend

1602
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 1: it locally. You could not spend it at a local chain.

1603
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 1: You can't go to Burger King and spend the money

1604
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 1: that the state's giving you. Um. The other thing is

1605
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,599
Speaker 1: when the government shuts you down and says you can't

1606
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: work and then gives you money. That's not socialism. If

1607
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: we were running like normal and just handing out money,

1608
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: that's that's different, right, right right, I'm telling you you

1609
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: can't work. Shutting down business is upset. I gotta say, Um,

1610
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: we we run a rogue um basketball game at at

1611
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 1: our house with you know, second and fourth graders. Parents

1612
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 1: were masks and everything, and uh, you know, we had

1613
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: a game this week and one of the dad showed up.

1614
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: Who haven't seen in a while, big business guy, Um

1615
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 1: has multiple businesses, he's doing extremely well. I won't say

1616
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: his name. And I said, what's going on, man? How

1617
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: you doing? How you holding up? I didn't seen him

1618
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,680
Speaker 1: in maybe a month. The first thing he says, I

1619
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,600
Speaker 1: gotta get the bleep out of here, man like with

1620
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: a stone Cole face. Gavin. I was like, oh, I

1621
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 1: guess you saw the Elon must story in the Wall

1622
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 1: Street Journal. He's gone, Rogan's gone, all the rich guys.

1623
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: This guy is not on that level rich um. But

1624
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: I said, dude, you just I'm not. I'm not giving

1625
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: up too much info on him. So he just bought

1626
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: two plots. Uh, he bought a house um on a

1627
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 1: plot and another one and he's going to knock down

1628
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: the houses and build like a big compound. And he's like,

1629
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: I already regret the deal. I gotta get out of California.

1630
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 1: And a lot of business owners are saying that, and

1631
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,600
Speaker 1: I know Gavin feels the same way. Just the restrictions

1632
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 1: on is bad. I mean, and there's even within the

1633
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: state you're living in. L A is the most restrictive,

1634
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, Like, so there's other places in the state

1635
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: that are better to move l A is, But what

1636
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: are you gonna go to? No disrespect, what are you

1637
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna go to Sacramento? No, I'm just saying, like we're

1638
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 1: trying to move back down to Orange County. There's a

1639
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: lot more, a lot different down there. Um. And at

1640
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: the same time, like listen for sports, this Rose Bowl

1641
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: issue is becoming legit. Do we have the Brian Kelly

1642
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: audio so, um, the Rose Bowl is one of the

1643
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: playoff games this year, right, and they're saying no fans,

1644
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 1: no family, nobody, And Brian Kelly and I think Dabo

1645
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,959
Speaker 1: Sweeney have come out publicly and been like, that's garbage.

1646
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: What are you talking about. It's safe for the players,

1647
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: but it's not safe for the family. Members what and listen.

1648
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: I like Dabo Sweeney a lot. I don't like a

1649
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff he said in the last year,

1650
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 1: but I like his story and everything he's done for

1651
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 1: that Clemson program. Um. But he's right here, isn't he? Hey,

1652
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: you guys can put your game on and make a

1653
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: lot of money off the backs of these college football players,

1654
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: but you can't have any other o their family members

1655
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: come out and watch them. Here's the Brian Kelly audio.

1656
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 1: He's really ticked off. They gotta figure out how to

1657
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: make sure that whatever sites they play at, that the

1658
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: parents are gonna be watching their sons play, because it

1659
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: is an absolute shane and a sham if parents can't

1660
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 1: be watching their kids play. And you're gonna tell me

1661
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a playoff and maybe once I can

1662
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 1: have families in the other can't please? I'm not sure

1663
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: we'll play in the playoffs if parents can't be there?

1664
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: Why would we play if if you can't have the

1665
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: families at the game, so a bowl game, yeah, we

1666
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: would opt those. If you can't have families at bowl games,

1667
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, why would you go to a game where

1668
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 1: your families can't be part of it? What what's the

1669
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 1: sense of playing a game, you know, in in a

1670
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 1: in an area of the country where you know what

1671
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody can be part of it. So we

1672
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:42,679
Speaker 1: also have Doubo Sweeney very upset about the college football

1673
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: playoff and uh at the Rose Bowl. It makes no

1674
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: sense to me to put a bunch of kids on

1675
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: playing and fly them all the way to California to

1676
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 1: play in an interstate that It makes zero sense when

1677
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: you have plenty of stadiums right here where you can

1678
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 1: have fans, and most importantly, you can have families and

1679
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: you know there's a stipend involved. Two families get bucks.

1680
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: It should be the same for for all four teams.

1681
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: As far as the opportunity that you have fans, parents, etcetera.

1682
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta agree with them, guys. I college

1683
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 1: football has royally screwed up this year. I mean, it's

1684
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: just been a one disaster after another. I mean, why

1685
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: play the game at the Rose Bowl when there's gonna

1686
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: be no fans? Do you know? I gotta say, um,

1687
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: the pageantry of the big college football games on championship weekend,

1688
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 1: specifically the SEC SEC Championship every year, I love it

1689
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: that the theme songs, the fans are freaking out. Um,

1690
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 1: usually Alabama and Georgia are are in it, and it's

1691
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 1: just an awesome vibe and energy and that is because

1692
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 1: of the fans, and to not have that at the playoff,

1693
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, It's I gotta I gotta side

1694
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 1: with Dabbo. I always say I'm resident college football expert?

1695
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 1: Are you with Dobbo and Brian Kelly here to a

1696
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 1: certain degree? But then I'm also like, if if if

1697
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work, then just play the game, Just

1698
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: go play the game. What do you mean, if it's

1699
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 1: not gonna work, if they don't get their way, then

1700
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 1: just go play the game. I don't I can't imagine

1701
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 1: that they would sit out. But at the same time,

1702
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,040
Speaker 1: what's a college football playoff without Notre dameon Clemson? What

1703
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,560
Speaker 1: are you gonna put Cincinnati in there? Like, I know

1704
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 1: the coaches have the power. By the way, let me

1705
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: interrupt for a second and say, I saw a preview

1706
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 1: for a movie called Safety on the Disney Plus maybe

1707
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,560
Speaker 1: have you guys have has anybody watched it? Either of

1708
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: you guys? Okay, though, so I saw the preview one night.

1709
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm like half asleep and I'm bolt up. I'm like,

1710
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: this looks amazing. This looks incredible. I'm watching it with

1711
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 1: the kids, and it came out streaming, I guess eight

1712
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 1: days ago. I just want to see if anybody saw it,

1713
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 1: if it's appropriate for kids. It seems like, you know,

1714
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 1: it seems like it's set at Clemson, And as I'm

1715
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 1: watching the preview on YouTube, I'm like, wait a minute,

1716
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:12,320
Speaker 1: this is pretty savvy to set it at Clemson. A

1717
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 1: heartwarming story. Young kids under the age of like thirteen

1718
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 1: are gonna watch this and it's gonna look awesome at Clemson,

1719
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: which has one of the best football facilities. I'm curious

1720
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: as to who who made this movie and where's the

1721
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 1: backing and funding behind it, because it almost looks like

1722
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: a big recruiting movie right for Clemson. When you start

1723
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 1: to think about on that level, I mean, it's so

1724
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 1: many in the trailer, which looks hypnotic um, the Clemson colors,

1725
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 1: the stadium, everybody's pumped up, and it looks awesome. It's

1726
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:45,680
Speaker 1: like I want to go there and be part of that.

1727
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 1: I always say, did you get that vibe when you

1728
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 1: saw the Yeah, it looks like it. It casts Clemson

1729
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 1: a very favorable hospitable like I'm gonna I'm gonna be

1730
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: looking into that during the commercial break, very cureus. So,

1731
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Iowa and Gonzaga is an early tip off where I

1732
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:04,719
Speaker 1: don't know where they're playing this game. They are playing

1733
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:08,760
Speaker 1: at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This

1734
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:12,759
Speaker 1: is a true neutral site matchup, no fans in the stands.

1735
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe in Parents, South Dakota. Yeah, the Sanford Pentagon,

1736
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: which is this arena there in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

1737
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: I thought South Dakota was having major, major COVID issue.

1738
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 1: Well who Isn't you know who is? We got Io

1739
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 1: at number three in gonzagat number one, who hasn't played

1740
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. But it's a good matchup. It's

1741
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 1: a big boys in this game. And then Oklahoma driving

1742
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 1: already on Iowa State Big Ten championship about to kick off.

1743
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: This is a good, good sports weekend now going on.

1744
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 1: Getta get excited. Louisville getting beat up by Wisconsin and

1745
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:45,799
Speaker 1: hoops early and there's NFL later, Oh gosh, I'm giddy.

1746
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 1: And then I'm I'm getting text from all my friends

1747
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 1: on the East coast about Oh, we just got hit

1748
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 1: with snow. I gotta go. I gotta go snowblow my

1749
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 1: driveway for the second time. My brother was playing all

1750
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 1: time quarterback in a neighborhood pickup football game with a

1751
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 1: bunch like elementary middle school kids. I'm like, that sounds fun,

1752
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,799
Speaker 1: but I don't want to play in the cold northeaster.

1753
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 1: They did. Yeah. Um, you know, our in laws are

1754
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:14,720
Speaker 1: on the East coast and like the whole northeast is

1755
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 1: just blanketed. I will say I don't miss that. When

1756
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 1: we moved here four and a half years ago. Two

1757
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,600
Speaker 1: things I was like excited to get rid of was

1758
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 1: my generator. Yes, I owned one, and our snowblower. I

1759
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 1: gave him both to my brother. Actually, uh, and he's

1760
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:34,439
Speaker 1: using them, getting a lot of mileage out of those.

1761
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't miss them at all. Um. Things I'm looking

1762
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: to add out here in l a surfboard and um

1763
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 1: maybe a second surpot. I not I'm just kidding around.

1764
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't did you ask Santa? I did not know.

1765
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that now. Um. Anyways, what

1766
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 1: else is there? You know what? Why don't we go

1767
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:54,439
Speaker 1: to break it? Comeback? We got a good guest coming

1768
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 1: up here in about fifteen minutes. Um, he wants to

1769
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 1: take Jared Dudley for to task for what he said

1770
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 1: last week on the show. I don't want to tease

1771
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 1: it too much, but I'm curious just to your thoughts, Gavin,

1772
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:12,320
Speaker 1: just let this marinate during the break. Um, when the

1773
01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: media says something's going to happen and it doesn't, we

1774
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 1: kind of ripped them. What about when players say stuff?

1775
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 1: Dudley saying that Harden was getting dealt in ten days, Um,

1776
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:25,800
Speaker 1: if that doesn't happen, should put people ripped? Jared Dudley?

1777
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:27,680
Speaker 1: Now I would say no. Jared Dudley is a great guy.

1778
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: Came on our show. You asked him a question and

1779
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:32,519
Speaker 1: he gave you an answer. And here's the other thing.

1780
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: We had the guy from out Kick on recently, Ryan Glasbeagle. Um,

1781
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 1: nobody cares if you're wrong anymore. Like I was a

1782
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: little ticked off at Adam Schefter for saying that Cleveland

1783
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: Farrell wasn't gonna play against the Jets, and then all

1784
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I look out and Cleveland Farrell's force

1785
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 1: two fumbles. Jason, there are some hosts that a few

1786
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago we're saying someone uh in Vegas was the

1787
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:56,960
Speaker 1: coach of the year and then now they're calling for

1788
01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: his job. So people can take any take they want

1789
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 1: and no one will wait. Okay, uh and listen. I'm

1790
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 1: sure people are saying right now, well, Jason, what about

1791
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:12,360
Speaker 1: Joe Judge in the fight? Hey? Um, by the way,

1792
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: what does Joe Judge said? Has he denied it? Has

1793
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 1: anybody talked to Colombo? I'm sticking about my story. Maybe somebody,

1794
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 1: maybe somebody will get one of them on the record

1795
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 1: about it. Hey. Yeah, we had a tussle, there was

1796
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 1: a dust up. We ended things. Anyways, we're gonna got

1797
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: a break on that note. We'll come back. I'll give

1798
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,960
Speaker 1: out a couple of week fifteen NFL winners and by

1799
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 1: then Ohio State and Northwestern will have kicked off. I

1800
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: love a good um socially distant coin flip. Look at

1801
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 1: how spaced out everybody is, uh as Oh, by the way,

1802
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 1: Oklahoma just got in the end, Zoe did I was

1803
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: stay fumbled a punt return. Something happened. Flag. They just

1804
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 1: drove down the field and scored. That's what happened. We'll

1805
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 1: be back in a few minutes here on Fox Sports

1806
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 1: Radio be of good cheer Ohio State in Northwestern Underway.

1807
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 1: Buckeyes get a first down. Feels just uncorked a sixty

1808
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 1: yarder that was incomplete. Um, I have a Gonzaga. This

1809
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:08,120
Speaker 1: is a good game, by the way, I don't know

1810
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 1: if you're watching it. Very contested back and forth, good offense,

1811
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 1: good defense, guys just making shots. Is a great sports day.

1812
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 1: Get fired up as Ohio State now moves into Northwestern territory. Um,

1813
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 1: the first play of the game, Justin Fields dropped back.

1814
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 1: His first read was taken, second read was taken, third

1815
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:31,080
Speaker 1: read off the guy's hands, and it looked like the

1816
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 1: linebacker could have picked it. Do you guys know what

1817
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: that would have meant from my first half? Bet an

1818
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 1: interception on the first play deep in Ohio State territory. Oh,

1819
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: it would have been so sweet, but alas it was

1820
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,640
Speaker 1: not to be. All Right, I'm not gonna give you

1821
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 1: every play. UM, let me give you some of my picks. Now.

1822
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:50,439
Speaker 1: If you guys listen to my daily podcast, Straight Fire,

1823
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:54,680
Speaker 1: you know some of these. Um. But I also do

1824
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: a week fifteen picks column for Fox Sports. I put

1825
01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: that on my I g Um, I know it's risky

1826
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: to do unders right, especially in the year where September

1827
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 1: was the highest scoring month in NFL history. I just

1828
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: I think the Rams Jets is a dead under forty

1829
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 1: four and a half now the numbers come down, which

1830
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 1: is good for me, not good for you if you're

1831
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 1: just making the bet now. Um, but I looked at

1832
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 1: every Rams home game. Okay, the Rams, by the way,

1833
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 1: have an elite defense. I'm talking like one of the

1834
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: three best in the league. Okay, these are the Rams

1835
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 1: totals in their home games so far. On a wait, yes,

1836
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 1: so far this season at SOFI Stadium. One game has

1837
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:45,679
Speaker 1: got to forty three points. Now is the forty Niners

1838
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:48,920
Speaker 1: Rams game a couple of weeks back. Um, everything else

1839
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:51,679
Speaker 1: under Cowboys were there in the opener landed on thirty seven.

1840
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't know specifically if that's about something going on

1841
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 1: in the stadium, the travel, I don't know. I have

1842
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 1: no idea the Rams defense obvious, he plays apart. Rams

1843
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 1: are a really good running attack. They like to get

1844
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: the lead and they just ground away instead of letting

1845
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 1: golf make potential bad mistakes. Um, I like that. Under

1846
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: think about the Jets here, folks, Jets flew out to

1847
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:18,799
Speaker 1: Seattle last week kicker mrs three field goals, they get destroyed,

1848
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 1: game stayed under. Then they flied back to New York.

1849
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Then they fly back to l A. And they're facing

1850
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 1: a better defense than Seattle. Now the one play against

1851
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:32,160
Speaker 1: the Jets Seattle under here, I'm sorry, Jets Rams under

1852
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: is next week the Rams play Seattle, probably for the

1853
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 1: NFC West huge game. And you could look at it

1854
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: this way, Huh. Last week's Seattle in the fourth quarter

1855
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 1: put Gino Smith in. He played the entire quarter. They

1856
01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:50,559
Speaker 1: did not really throw the football. It was almost all

1857
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:54,080
Speaker 1: exclusively running. With a big lead, Will the Rams do

1858
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 1: the same if they're up twenty seven nothing in the

1859
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:00,479
Speaker 1: third quarter, we see Jared Goff out there. I don't

1860
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 1: think so. Now the question becomes, what about Aaron Donald

1861
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:05,479
Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey. Are they off the field? That would

1862
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:09,280
Speaker 1: be significant, um, because then maybe Donald could come in

1863
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 1: the back door with some garbage. I just don't see

1864
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:13,519
Speaker 1: it getting four and a half. Jeff, I'm not a

1865
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: totals guy, but I had to. I had to take that.

1866
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 1: I had to. I just absolutely had to. So let

1867
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 1: me look at the next another game. Uh. And we

1868
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 1: talked about this a little with t a New England Miami.

1869
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put the numbers out there for you, Gavin. Okay,

1870
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:31,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick twenty five and five against rookie quarterbacks in

1871
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 1: his last thirty that's straight up. He's won nine in

1872
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 1: a row against rookie quarterbacks. We saw what he did

1873
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 1: to Herbert a couple of weeks ago. Last lost to

1874
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:46,560
Speaker 1: a rookie was Geno Smith of my Jets, Belichick, and

1875
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 1: this is a tough one off a double digit loss.

1876
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:53,679
Speaker 1: He got embarrassed by the Rams on Thursday night. Nineteen

1877
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,639
Speaker 1: and five against the spread. Now, I know what you're saying, Jay,

1878
01:38:57,120 --> 01:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Come on, all those nineteen wins against the spread with

1879
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:02,920
Speaker 1: Tom Rady. He's got Cam Newton new stinks. I get it.

1880
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:07,240
Speaker 1: It's less about that. It's more about game planning. Belichick

1881
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:11,679
Speaker 1: has extra time to prepare. Patriots beat the Chargers forty

1882
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: five to nothing and Cam Newton through for seventy yards. Yeah, yeah,

1883
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:18,719
Speaker 1: they don't have It doesn't have to be about the quarterback.

1884
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 1: By the way, Dolphins aren't going to have Davante Parker

1885
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 1: the best white out sick. Well, I'm I know he's

1886
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,120
Speaker 1: questionable right now, but anyone in the right mind is

1887
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:31,000
Speaker 1: not going to be expecting a lot from Davante Parker,

1888
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,640
Speaker 1: who hasn't been a great match with two anyway. But

1889
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: also Mike get Sicky came out of the shoulders, big

1890
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 1: game man. That guy catches everything. They don't have a

1891
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: running back DeAndre Washington. Is he the starter to well?

1892
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's been officially announced, but again, they're

1893
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 1: they're depleted at that position. I think you know, they

1894
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 1: had their top three running backs out because of COVID

1895
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 1: and injuries last week, and I don't know if they

1896
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 1: got healthier. I don't believe Myles Gaston is back this week.

1897
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of good. He's great, he's their

1898
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:03,679
Speaker 1: best offensive. What I took, I took New England lines

1899
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:05,600
Speaker 1: coming down, all right, here's a big third down for

1900
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Third and three in Northwestern territory. Northwestern comes

1901
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:13,760
Speaker 1: on the blitz and they can't get fields. They had him,

1902
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 1: couldn't wrap him up, and he escapes for the first down.

1903
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 1: Dang it, did you see the cornerback had him off

1904
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 1: the edge. And but that's what makes fields, that's what

1905
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 1: separates him right, That's why he's going to go second overall. Yeah,

1906
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 1: it feels Hey, this is a nice quarterback man. I

1907
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 1: don't know in the NFL comparison for him, Um, I

1908
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 1: think Cam would be a little cheap because of the size.

1909
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,599
Speaker 1: I mean, the fields looks like a big boy when

1910
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 1: you could just shake off a linebacker who honestly, and

1911
01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: this is recency bias because we just watched Herbert play.

1912
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 1: But Herbert had one of those plays. He's a six

1913
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 1: six guy. He was gonna get taken down in the grass,

1914
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 1: but he got away and was able to toss the

1915
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 1: ball out a little similar right there. All right, Hey,

1916
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:54,799
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. So we just saw Herbert

1917
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: Thursday night and Anthony Lynn frustrating game if you were

1918
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 1: betting the Chargers, although they did come through, I gotta

1919
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:04,680
Speaker 1: say Anthony Lynn's won two straight close games. Did you

1920
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 1: see Gavin and this is like inside nerdy sports media?

1921
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,560
Speaker 1: Did you see Chris Mortonson tweet on Friday? Yeah, And

1922
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: I think basically what that is is Anthony Lynn pay

1923
01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 1: to GM to say something nice. Well, my thought was

1924
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: that there is going to be a sentiment Anthony Lynn

1925
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:25,680
Speaker 1: such a nice guy. Hey, you know they had injuries

1926
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and that's all obscuring the fact that he

1927
01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:33,360
Speaker 1: just sucks as a coach in game situations. If they

1928
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:36,639
Speaker 1: bring him back, Gavin Man, that's gonna be bad news. Yeah,

1929
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean, and again, this is why I'm almost convinced

1930
01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 1: sometimes that they're trying to lose, because the offense, they

1931
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 1: make decisions that basically forced them to punt. Like all

1932
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 1: the times that they're running the ball, it makes no sense,

1933
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: like Herbert is tearing them up. And then it gets

1934
01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:58,000
Speaker 1: down to the crucial time out situations and you look

1935
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,080
Speaker 1: up and Anthony Lynn has no idea what to do,

1936
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 1: and I'm going there are thirteen year old gamers playing

1937
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:08,200
Speaker 1: right now that know what to do. It's incredibly frustrating.

1938
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 1: The Charger organization is extremely cheap. Look at their last

1939
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 1: three coaches, Mike McCoy, North Turner. I mean, they're not

1940
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 1: going to do anything excitement. They're probably yeah, I guess

1941
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 1: we can kiss hardball goodbye. Oh yeah, yeah. No. I

1942
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:25,639
Speaker 1: think it's honestly going to be down between Arthur Smith

1943
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 1: right of the Titans. I'm hoping if they go the

1944
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:33,840
Speaker 1: coordinator route, they go Brian Dable run. I think the

1945
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 1: Alan and Herbert comparisons are right there. It's easy to

1946
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 1: see how that would fit. Herbert looks better to me.

1947
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean I do too, but I don't want to

1948
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 1: get too ahead of myself. Alan has been quite the improvement.

1949
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 1: The other thing about Anthony Lynde if the funny line

1950
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,560
Speaker 1: you had about gamers being better than him. Um, I

1951
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 1: just was absolutely stunned. Where in the fourth quarter, leading

1952
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 1: by only a touchdown you start acting like you can

1953
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 1: milk clock. And he had Herbert through one pass on

1954
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Like, what are we doing here? How

1955
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,720
Speaker 1: do you watch him play and go We're gonna just

1956
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 1: hand it off every time unless you, for some reason don't. Again,

1957
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't see why Anthony Lynn would want to lose,

1958
01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:11,760
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be out of a job. But it's

1959
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 1: like they try to lose. It's weird, bad stuff, all right?

1960
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 1: Coming up next year, Uh, friend of the show, Noah

Speaker 1: trying to get in the end zone, your third and goal.

2006
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Noah Kaslows, CBS Sports HQ. No, how

2007
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 1: you doing in? I'm doing all right? Do you do

2008
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:04,680
Speaker 1: you usually roll the RS on radio? Yes? I do

2009
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 1: it just for fun, just for good, a good touch. Yeah, yeah,

2010
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, unique, a little unique action. So I I

2011
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 1: prefaced this with you are in New York City and um,

2012
01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 1: we know times are tough. You guys got hit by

2013
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:21,160
Speaker 1: a lot of snow. I'm curious, what's the state of

2014
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: play right now in New York City? State of play

2015
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:28,160
Speaker 1: for just being able to get out of lifestyle Christmas

2016
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:32,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff, It's, uh, it's pretty much non existent.

2017
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: But it really it actually does depend on what neighborhood

2018
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 1: you're you're in. Yesterday I went, um, I live in

2019
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:39,800
Speaker 1: the East Side night and I went up to deeper

2020
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:42,760
Speaker 1: West Side yesterday and I walked through Central Park and

2021
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: and that did feel festive because the time of day

2022
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: it was after school, so there were a lot of

2023
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:51,680
Speaker 1: kids out playing in the snow sledding and and there

2024
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,479
Speaker 1: were more people around in Columbus Circle than I had

2025
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 1: seen before. But then you go into different you go

2026
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 1: into other neighborhoods like where I live, it's just it's

2027
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 1: completely empty. There's no topic. You go by Rockefeller Center,

2028
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 1: which we did last weekend to go see the tree,

2029
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:07,640
Speaker 1: and they say you've got to scan at two R

2030
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,040
Speaker 1: code to get in line. And it's actually very civilized,

2031
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 1: but it really like, I don't know, maybe there were

2032
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 1: twenty people waiting to see the tree. That's that's very

2033
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:19,600
Speaker 1: that's very Yeah, that's very unusual. So, uh, it is

2034
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 1: it's empty. It is because there are no there are

2035
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:26,920
Speaker 1: no tourists. And when there are no when there are

2036
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:29,840
Speaker 1: no tourists, then um in the city that relies on

2037
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:33,360
Speaker 1: that for billions and billions of dollars, it's gonna take

2038
01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a long time to recover. You see

2039
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:39,639
Speaker 1: you see more, you see more for rent, retail space open,

2040
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 1: you see more of those signs every day. It's getting tough,

2041
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 1: but that means there's gonna be some value shopping there

2042
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 1: here in the coming years, because you know, young people

2043
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:50,200
Speaker 1: want to get to the city. No, when young people

2044
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:52,640
Speaker 1: want to be around other young people, and that's in

2045
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:55,360
Speaker 1: the city that ain't in the burbs. M Yeah, but

2046
01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 1: it also it also depends on Like I've looked at

2047
01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 1: rent and an apartment for sale all over the place,

2048
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: and like, for example, in our building, the maybe some

2049
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 1: rents are going down, but the first and there are

2050
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 1: more apartments for sale, but the sale prices are not

2051
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 1: going down. I mean, if you want to live in

2052
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: a yeah, you're a young person, you want to live

2053
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 1: in a you know, six story walk up building with

2054
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 1: no dorman. You don't have a family, you're not, you

2055
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:24,240
Speaker 1: don't need any of that other you don't need any amenities. Yes,

2056
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,639
Speaker 1: you could find you could find an apartment for left rents. Yea.

2057
01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:31,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to actual sports. Um, I don't know, no,

2058
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 1: what do you want. We can start with NFL, but

2059
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 1: I kind of want to start with your seventies sixers

2060
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,600
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I call him your seventy sixers. You

2061
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 1: know obviously you know them well. Being a Philly guy. Um,

2062
01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm kind of bullish on them this year. I love

2063
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:47,160
Speaker 1: the Seth Requurry move. I'm shocked they were able to

2064
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:50,800
Speaker 1: unload Horford. Everybody was on them last year and they

2065
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 1: let everybody down. I kind of like them more this

2066
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: year than I did last year. I think there's a

2067
01:48:56,360 --> 01:49:00,519
Speaker 1: sense of calm with this team and and but also

2068
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:02,720
Speaker 1: a sense of desperation if you can have both of

2069
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 1: those at the same time. That I think the team

2070
01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 1: needed the Brett Brown reset, that they had it almost

2071
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 1: in their heads that it looked this this jest isn't

2072
01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:16,599
Speaker 1: going to work, and it wasn't working without Horford. Um.

2073
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: I do like Danny Green in the fact that he's

2074
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:22,560
Speaker 1: an adult and they and they need and they need that,

2075
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:27,360
Speaker 1: whether Dwight not exactly an adult and will that cancel

2076
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 1: will that cancel each other out? But I also think

2077
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:32,879
Speaker 1: that DC Rivers is someone who will command the respect

2078
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,640
Speaker 1: and understands how to deal with superstars in or I

2079
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 1: should say stars since Jewel is not a superstar but

2080
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:41,400
Speaker 1: a star in Duel EMBIID and also Ben Simmons, and

2081
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:44,840
Speaker 1: I like the way like the talent isn't as great

2082
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 1: as it was last year, but I think that there's

2083
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:51,200
Speaker 1: just a much better fit with Steph Curry and a

2084
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 1: better fit with Danny Green and not having to force

2085
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 1: out Orford out there. Um. There there are certain teams

2086
01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 1: that can compete in these in conference that if they

2087
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:03,479
Speaker 1: live up to the potential that we all think they have,

2088
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:06,080
Speaker 1: that those are the teams that can win. They can

2089
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:07,760
Speaker 1: win the East. The Sixers are one of them, the

2090
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 1: Nests are another. Uh. Now, let me ask you about

2091
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:14,559
Speaker 1: the alleged Ben Simmons stuff. Jared Dudley came on this show. Uh,

2092
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:18,719
Speaker 1: became a big story. We got a lot of traffic

2093
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 1: and listens from it, uh, saying that James Harden would

2094
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 1: be traded in ten days. You have some thoughts on that.

2095
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: It's what seven days now, and there has been a

2096
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 1: lot of talk. Wood and Sham's kind of duking it

2097
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 1: out who where he may go? Harden that is, and

2098
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 1: um Houston seems to be in the mix to trade

2099
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 1: him to Philly. We'll see what happens. But I'm curious

2100
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 1: just to your bigger picture thoughts on it. Sorry, So

2101
01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:47,240
Speaker 1: I've got two big picture thoughts on it. One has

2102
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,120
Speaker 1: to do with Jared Dudley, the other doesn't. So let's

2103
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 1: start with one that doesn't. If if Ben Simmons is

2104
01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:57,080
Speaker 1: available in a trade for James Harden, then why isn't

2105
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons available in the trade or other stars, Like,

2106
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 1: why aren't they then if Ben Simmons, if he is available,

2107
01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 1: why why are they going after James Harden? Why not

2108
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:11,760
Speaker 1: try to go after anybody else who's available, who might

2109
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: be on a better contract or a better fit. Give

2110
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 1: me a name, what Bradley Beale? Sure? I don't know that.

2111
01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 1: Do you think Bill's as good as Harden? I'd rather

2112
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 1: have Bradley Beal than James. I'm with you, but but

2113
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not saying any of these other

2114
01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 1: guys are available. But like, if you're going to make

2115
01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:33,880
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons available, then how about you just opened the

2116
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 1: door to any number of stars around the league to

2117
01:51:37,040 --> 01:51:39,640
Speaker 1: be able to bring in So but Um was more

2118
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:42,599
Speaker 1: fascinated on the Jared Dudley side that if a an

2119
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:49,280
Speaker 1: NBA reporter put that out and it doesn't happen, that

2120
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:54,760
Speaker 1: person gets excruciated. Right if you are, you're destroyed. And

2121
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 1: then players around the league say this is why we

2122
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: can't trust anything, this is um, this and that and

2123
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:06,839
Speaker 1: and then that type of discourse continues, and the eroding

2124
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:10,599
Speaker 1: of the trust between players and who's carrying who's water, etcetera.

2125
01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:13,639
Speaker 1: But if Jared Dudley, a player in the league puts

2126
01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:17,760
Speaker 1: it out one should he be putting it out a

2127
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:21,680
Speaker 1: current player in the league? Are you is that? Are

2128
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 1: you breaking some sort of locker room coach? He doesn't

2129
01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:28,639
Speaker 1: play on either one of those teams. But yeah, NBA

2130
01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:33,760
Speaker 1: players notions, But so so is Jared Dudley by just

2131
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,840
Speaker 1: by putting this out here. If it doesn't happen, then

2132
01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:40,920
Speaker 1: are we then to go to Jared Dudley and say, hey,

2133
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,080
Speaker 1: how come this happen? Who are your sources on this?

2134
01:52:44,040 --> 01:52:48,000
Speaker 1: Next time? You? You know, triple check? I like, I like.

2135
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 1: I think. I think for someone who in Jared Dudley,

2136
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:52,040
Speaker 1: who wants to be part of the media, and I

2137
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: think it's a I think it's a greater conversation. I

2138
01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 1: think you're actually one to have this. These the players

2139
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:00,840
Speaker 1: themselves who say we want to be breaking the news,

2140
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: we want to do this, this, this, this, like Jalen

2141
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 1: Rose will do it. Well, is Jalen Rose running these

2142
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 1: things past the ESPN news desk? Is he running it past?

2143
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:11,800
Speaker 1: Is he running it past? Woa um? So I think

2144
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:14,120
Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen, I think I think Jared Dudley

2145
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:17,040
Speaker 1: deserves all the scorn that NB a reporter would have.

2146
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:21,360
Speaker 1: I would argue, and I wouldn't argue vociferously because I don't.

2147
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:23,439
Speaker 1: I don't have that strong of a feeling on it.

2148
01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:26,880
Speaker 1: But I just I'm not a believer that that stuff

2149
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:30,840
Speaker 1: matters as much as he used to. Standards are down, Noah,

2150
01:53:31,439 --> 01:53:34,000
Speaker 1: we're not. They shouldn't be. They should not be. But

2151
01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:36,320
Speaker 1: that's just how it is with social media. Well people

2152
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 1: hear stuff so well, so I think that the standards

2153
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:41,640
Speaker 1: should then get back to. And it's the conversation I

2154
01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:44,000
Speaker 1: had on rejecting the screen of the podcast, and I

2155
01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 1: had a long conversation with Howard back about it, and

2156
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:51,080
Speaker 1: it was who it was. It was all about Twitter

2157
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:56,759
Speaker 1: noise and actual journalism and how players cannot differentiate between

2158
01:53:56,840 --> 01:54:01,120
Speaker 1: the two, and it then gets just all lumped together,

2159
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:06,599
Speaker 1: and when in fact it's not journalists who are who

2160
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:10,759
Speaker 1: are putting certain things out there. I guess my counter

2161
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:14,200
Speaker 1: would be, you just can't put the genie back in

2162
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 1: the bottle. It's what like with the free music, Uh,

2163
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 1: people are giving away free music for a while on

2164
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:23,760
Speaker 1: all those what Mozilla whatever they were Napster fifteen years ago,

2165
01:54:24,560 --> 01:54:27,160
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, and then they eventually stopped it, but

2166
01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 1: then nobody wanted to pay for music for a while,

2167
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:31,760
Speaker 1: and then now fifteen years later, people are paying for

2168
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 1: music again because they were able to stop it. Who

2169
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 1: is stopping the journalism from happening. Nobody's stopping it. I

2170
01:54:39,240 --> 01:54:41,400
Speaker 1: know you and Howard are talking about it, and it

2171
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:44,280
Speaker 1: makes sense, and I kind of agree with it. But

2172
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:47,000
Speaker 1: on sub level, unless somebody steps up and stops it,

2173
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:51,320
Speaker 1: like a like an actual not an agency, but someone

2174
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:54,880
Speaker 1: on a high level says we're stopping this garbage, then

2175
01:54:54,920 --> 01:54:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't see it stopping. No, no, no, I'm not

2176
01:54:57,400 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: saying that where where umors come from. I'm talking about

2177
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:06,280
Speaker 1: where who is delivering these rumors. Like Andrea Gobdala had

2178
01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:08,760
Speaker 1: had had did a Q and A with Richard Dipson

2179
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 1: the Athletics, and he said, now you've got um Twitter

2180
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:17,000
Speaker 1: journalists breaking news. That's not that's not true. In the NBA,

2181
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 1: woas and shams are breaking news. Those are journalists on Twitter.

2182
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:24,760
Speaker 1: Not There's not something that a Twitter journalist like Lebron

2183
01:55:24,960 --> 01:55:28,280
Speaker 1: made up washed king. He could have seen that from

2184
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:35,720
Speaker 1: who knows. Somebody writ in utah R exactly right. So

2185
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:41,080
Speaker 1: there's there's gotta be some someone who is um in

2186
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:44,560
Speaker 1: in that player's camp, or whether that falls on Team

2187
01:55:44,640 --> 01:55:49,560
Speaker 1: PR or someone with different agencies who are making sure

2188
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 1: that this relationship does not erode any further and that

2189
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 1: they're able to parse through all the nonsense. I like it.

2190
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:00,080
Speaker 1: H It's ambitious. I'm gonna have to get you on

2191
01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:02,200
Speaker 1: straight Fire. We'll talk about this more at length. That's

2192
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:04,040
Speaker 1: the podcast where I can go thirty minutes. We have

2193
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:07,040
Speaker 1: to wrap now. But Noa Kaslov, you gotta listen to

2194
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:09,880
Speaker 1: his podcast Rejecting the Screen. He had a fascinating story.

2195
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,880
Speaker 1: He was nearly the Charlotte is it the hornets of

2196
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 1: the Bobcats? I keep mixing that up hornets. He was

2197
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:18,360
Speaker 1: nearly the announcer for them, and they went another way,

2198
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 1: and of course I got It's a real good story.

2199
01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 1: Rejecting the screen. Looking up on iTunes and listen. Um,

2200
01:56:23,680 --> 01:56:28,320
Speaker 1: Noah Kaslow, thanks again. Happy Holidays, buddy, Yeah, alright, Noah

2203
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 1: seven three over the Buckeyes, huge third and two. The

2204
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 1: quarterback by the way, Iowa Sam, is it the is

2205
01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:46,879
Speaker 1: he the backup from Clemson or the former Clemson quarterback?

2206
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:50,520
Speaker 1: Are you talking about that? Um? Are you talking about

2207
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:55,120
Speaker 1: the Northwestern qb? He's a transfer from Indiana. From Indiana, dude,

2208
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:56,960
Speaker 1: third and two and he broke off on a read

2209
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:00,240
Speaker 1: option up the middle and then they go Wildcat on

2210
01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:02,200
Speaker 1: the next play and the kid takes it to the house.

2211
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:06,400
Speaker 1: I gotta say, man, Northwestern looked impressive. Now that's a

2212
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:10,000
Speaker 1: scripted drive by Fitzgerald. Unfortunately went super quick, so there's

2213
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 1: a lot of time left. My first half bets in

2214
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:15,880

2218
01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:33,080
Speaker 1: a developing situation in Indianapolis in the Big Ten title game.

01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:52,960
Speaker 1: Porter on nine yard touchdown Rod and an electric fashion.

2224
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:56,960
Speaker 1: The Wildcats have driven seventy five yards to take the

2225
01:57:57,080 --> 01:58:01,160
Speaker 1: lead on the Ohio State buckas six to three. Uh

2226
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:05,200
Speaker 1: that was Dan and in it from Learfield called Learfield,

2227
01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:08,200

2233
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:27,320
Speaker 1: calling the Big Tent title game right now, and I

2234
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 1: believe it's Gus and Joe klat You might hear a

2235
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:38,120
Speaker 1: one nell. Northwestern is in Ohio State territory up seven three,

2236
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 1: and listen. I'm not getting all play by play, but

2237
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: oh boy, here we go Northwestern. Oh no, this is

2238
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:48,000
Speaker 1: this is a disaster. They started. They dialed up a

2239
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 1: end around wide receiver pass and it looked like it

2240
01:58:52,080 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 1: had a chance and then the Buckeye snuffed it out.

2241
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 1: But what Gavin mentioned to me and during the break

2242
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:01,280
Speaker 1: is Fields looked rattled justin Fields for the presumptive number

2243
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:06,480
Speaker 1: two pick in the draft, Northwestern with the great Pats Fitzgerald.

2244
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:09,040
Speaker 1: The Bears want him badly to be their next head coach.

2245
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 1: Oh come on, Oh, they just threw a flag the

2246
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:17,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver end around. They they're gonna call grounding. It

2247
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,560
Speaker 1: seems like some some garbage attill snuff out that drive. Um,

2248
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:25,040
Speaker 1: but justin fields they're sending exotic blitzes at him. He

2249
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 1: doesn't know where it's coming from. On the first drive

2250
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:29,400
Speaker 1: that came up the middle, and then from the outside

2251
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 1: on the second drive they're sending cornerbacks and fields is

2252
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:36,040
Speaker 1: just like, what's going on. He's taking a couple of

2253
01:59:36,080 --> 01:59:38,560
Speaker 1: seconds to diagnose what's happening, and at that point the

2254
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:43,280
Speaker 1: offensive line crumbles. I think that's three sacks on fields already.

2255
01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:45,480
Speaker 1: It might be too but they are living in the

2256
01:59:45,520 --> 01:59:49,880
Speaker 1: backfield right now. Northwestern defensively. Now that flag is just

2257
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna totally bleep up that Northwestern drive. They got taken

2258
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:56,800
Speaker 1: out of Buckeye territory second and twenty six, so like

2259
01:59:57,600 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 1: that just screws everything up. I'm on the first half

2260
01:59:59,720 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 1: under listen. It's not my biggest play of the year.

2261
02:00:02,640 --> 02:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Um My kids badly want me to get a Tesla

2262
02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:07,320
Speaker 1: to fit in with all the other California people. That's

2263
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 1: just not happening. But if some bets go the right way, yeah,

2264
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:17,200
Speaker 1: that that's toast Um, this is not a mortgage payment.

2265
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:22,440
Speaker 1: Bet Um this is We don't need to get into

2266
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:24,360
Speaker 1: it anyways. Coming up next, I see him in the studio,

2267
02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:27,400
Speaker 1: LaVar Arrington and t J. Housh men Zada up on

2268
02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Game Flaxico Burus also checking in. It should be a

2269
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:36,920
Speaker 1: fun show. Last week they had Marcellus Wiley. Who knows

2270
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:39,240
Speaker 1: who's showing up this week. They're trying to level up

2271
02:00:39,320 --> 02:00:42,000
Speaker 1: on me because I had Jared Dudley on here breaking

2272
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,960
Speaker 1: some news last week, although the news hasn't really happened,

2273
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:47,400
Speaker 1: so I don't know how we can quantify that. But

2274
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:51,920
Speaker 1: maybe Hush Menzata will talk about dominating at Domino's and

2275
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:54,960
Speaker 1: LaVar Arrington maybe you can given some insight on the

2276
02:00:55,880 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 1: draft and the kid Parsons from Penn State. Um, we'll see.

2277
02:01:00,480 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they got something, maybe not. Maybe they'll freak

2278
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:06,400
Speaker 1: out like I am about Northwestern and Ohio State. But

2279
02:01:06,480 --> 02:01:08,720
Speaker 1: when a third and seven here, you just don't want

2280
02:01:08,760 --> 02:01:12,280
Speaker 1: to make a mistake, no pick, no fumble, nothing dumb.

2281
02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:15,360
Speaker 1: I draw. I'd run a draw because I'm conservative, But

2282
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:19,160
Speaker 1: that's just me. Guys. What a show. Three hours flew by.

2283
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:22,920
Speaker 1: We got Christmas coming up next weekend probably the college

2284
02:01:22,960 --> 02:01:27,200
Speaker 1: football playoff. We got Clemson tonight. I'm big on Clemson.

2285
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:31,080
