Speaker 1: like it, just hits you know when I was a

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: young ish guy in New York City after college. Um,

11

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: really it's a different reason to get you fired up now. Like,

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna get through this, folks. We are. It may

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: take months, but we are going to get through this.

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: And fortunately we still have Sports Sports has done fairly

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: well against the COVID, although something's going on with the

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. We'll get to that eventually. Um. Thankfully, the

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: NFL has done I would say, very very good for

20
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: the first two months getting through COVID, and um, we're

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: we have a minor distraction. I think we all need it, right,

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: It's been a hellish four days and you know, you

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: guys have followed any of the election. It ain't going anywhere.

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: Recounts out the wazoo. Fortunately, we have a good college

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: football Saturday head although COVID has crushed college football Gavinett

26
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: last count it was what ten games this weekend canceled? Yeah,

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: I mean two pack twelve games. You know, PAC twelve

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: is supposed to have this big opening this weekend and

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: I think they had two games canceled. And I had

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Robert Smith on my daily podcast, Straight Fire. Uh I

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: heart puts that out. But it's a lot of fun

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: and we're crushing it. And Robert Smith came on the

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: announcer for FS one. He's like, man, let's every week.

34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: It's like, who knows what's gonna happen, and it's just

35
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: a different world. One will never forget. You know. I

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: bemoaned the fact that my kids are it's a lost

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: year for them having to do school from home. And

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: I know across the country a lot of kids are

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: back in school. Don't get me started on the l

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: a situation. Um, but you know, the NFL has has

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: powered through it. And before I get into you know,

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: the weekend in sports, and you know we got Breeders

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Cup this weekend, we have the Master's next weekend, we

44
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: have Thanksgiving a couple of weeks away. Um, I just

45
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: want to say something seems fishy Gavin about that Baltimore

46
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: Ravens situation. So Marlon Humphrey their best cornerback test positive

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: for COVID, his contact tracing people are five or six

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: other starting defenders on the Ravens all week The line

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, comes off the three the Ravens are favored

50
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: by two and a half, and slowly but surely it

51
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: takes down and then yesterday, boom, it goes from Ravens

52
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: are favored to the culture favored by one at a

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: few influential gambling outposts. And again you're trying to read

54
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: the markets, everybody's trying to read the tea leaves. Is

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: the what the heck is going on next? And we

56
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: talked about it on this show at nausea, Right. I

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: think Brian Wynhorst is the guy who really started it,

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: because if you remember, Brian Winhorse was a great NBA

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: reporter and he decided, you know what, there's really no,

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: there's no point in reporting on transactional stuff around the league.

61
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: It is commoditized within a minute of it being reported.

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: It's on every blog. Everybody's chasing internet traffic. There's no

63
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: point in chasing news. It's what's next, What's the next

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: domino that's gonna fall? What does this mean for the future?

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: And that applies to sports, And I'm sure elections and

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: movies and TV and Netflix and everything radio as well.

67
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: And I guess my big takeaways, it's so damned tough

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: to say what the heck is going to happen next. Okay,

69
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: five years ago at this time, I was I had

70
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: just got a plane ticket to come out to FS

71
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: one for my first appearance. Okay ever, and I was like, Oh,

72
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting, We'll see what happens. That was

73
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: five years ago. Fast forward to and I'm living in

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: l a. F S one Fox Sports Radio. I have

75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: a daily podcast. I don't did anybody have a daily podcast.

76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that existed. Maybe Joe Rogan,

77
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I'm I'm doing stuff for Fox

78
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Sports Digital and it's like I could not have predicted

79
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: five years ago where I would be now, no way,

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: no shot. How am I supposed to predict what the

81
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: heck is gonna happen in two days in the NFL,

82
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: in five days with COVID tests, with the Matt Stafford

83
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: situation in Detroit. But you have to make an educated

84
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: guest on the information you have, and I'm telling you

85
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: I would not be shocked. We'll find out. I'm sure

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Isaac will have it will probably break in if there

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: is news on the Ravens in the COVID front. And

88
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: that's something to watch because listen, folks, the Baltimore Ravens

89
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: got their I mean they I don't want to say

90
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: they got their butts kicked, but they got it handed

91
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: to them at home by their rivals in a game

92
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: where their quarterback, the reigning m v P, was a

93
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: train wreck. Four turnovers, and this is a big game

94
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. You know, everybody loved to talk about

95
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: the uh John Harball coming off the buy numbers. Well,

96
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean, have you looked at the numbers of John Harbaugh?

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: Um awful loss. I mean he's like a hundred and

98
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: thirty three and eighty six or something insane, Like Hardball

99
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: is a great coach. This is a tough spot Baltimore

100
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Ravens Colts and that's not even Gavin. I don't even

101
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: think it's the top two game of the weekend, right,

102
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean you have to start with Buck Saints. And

103
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: I joked on Cowherd Show yesterday that you know, Buck

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Saints the battle of the two oldest quarterbacks in the league,

105
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady forty three and Drew Brees forty one. It's

106
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: like our presidential election to old guys going at it

107
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: and listen Sunday Night football. Then, Gavin, I'm sure you

108
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: saw the news Drew Brees shoulder injury. What's going on?

109
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Missing practice? Is it a baked in day off? Is

110
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: that he's an old guy and he's got to save

111
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: the shoulder? Are we gonna see Jameis win said against

112
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks like that game Sunday night. I'm so fired

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: up for Michael Thomas. Does Michael yea? What's going on?

114
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: He's he's questionable, it's been And the most intriguing thing

115
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: to me, what does Antonio Brown look? I think he's

116
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: going to be good. Him and Bruce arians again, right,

117
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: Gronkowski starting to cook with Tampa Like that's the game

118
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: of the weekend. And you know, and NFL just has

119
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: an awesome slate. But I want to start with something

120
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: I saw Thursday night and I did. I think we

121
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: have began to touch on this, the Jimmy garoppolo situation

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, and I don't know how overboard you

123
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: guys want to go. And you know, I because of

124
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: the job I have, I basically end up doing radio

125
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: hits around the country almost every day. And I went

126
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: on a San Francisco show yesterday with Mark Willard, a

127
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: former Fox Sports radio weekend guy who I know, nice guy,

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: and we start talking about Jimmy G. And he's like,

129
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't see anything happening with that. They

130
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: love Jimmy G. When he's healthy, they go to a

131
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And I was like, well, you know that's

132
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the thing, Mark. You know, his first full year, you know,

133
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the year after the trade he was traded at the

134
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: trade deadline in um so he finished No, I'm sorry,

135
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: I think it was tough. Seventeen so is his first

136
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: full season. And in Week three tears an a c

137
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: L jogging out of bounds on like a get out

138
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: of bounds play, and he's done for the year. And

139
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: then in twenty nineteen, they go to the Super Bowl

140
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, and then he's hurt multiple times. And

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: then if you think back to the Patriots the year

142
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was suspended for the um cell phone gate,

143
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't even remember was that the flight gate? I mean, Keavin,

144
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: how funny is that? Feels like forever? Yeah? See, so

145
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: Jimmy g gets thrust in as the starter. He's lights

146
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: out in Week one and I never will forget this

147
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: because I was on the Cardinals thinking, oh, Brady's out

148
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: there in trouble, and you know, it was like Patriots

149
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: win by like thirty and che's Jimmy Gee, this guy

150
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: looks good. Game two, he's crushing it against the Dolphins,

151
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: and then he gets crushed shoulder injury and he was

152
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: out on the shelf for a while. Jacoby Brissette then

153
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: had to come in, and it's like, at what point

154
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: he's Jimmy Garoppolo, the guy who can't stay healthy. And

155
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: again I'm not knocking him because he's taking some hits.

156
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: And you know Matt Stafford, remember early in his career,

157
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: was oh Jesus, he and always hurt kind of guy.

158
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: And he's been find Andrew Luck as well, had some

159
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: injuries and ended up retiring early. Only the forty niners

160
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: know what Jimmy Garoppolo's body is like, and the doctors,

161
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: and you know, they they examine this stuff. They track

162
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: it more than ever before. But according to the salary cap,

163
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: the Forts have given Garoppolo all of his guaranteed money

164
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: that he's going to see on this contract that he's on.

165
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: So if they want to get out from under, they

166
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: can just get rid of Jimmy Garoppolo. They can move

167
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: on and find a new quarterback. But then the question

168
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: is will you know you you joke about the Miami Dolphins.

169
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: Once Dan Marino retired, They've had to wait, counting on

170
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty three years now or whatever it

171
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: is for to find a starter. It's impossible to find

172
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: starting franchise quarterbacks. You can rotate in the Ryan Tannehills

173
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: of the world and whoever else Miami has gone through

174
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: over twenty five years. They don't have a franchise guy.

175
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: And I can't knock him because my Jets also haven't

176
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: found one. They thought they had one in Donald. I'm

177
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: gonna have to pass on that comment now. I'm not

178
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: saying Donald's not a franchise guy. We'll get to him

179
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: in a moment. But if you're the forty Niners, think

180
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: about this. Okay, can we do better than Jimmy g

181
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: We've got a Super Bowl roster last year, thirteen and

182
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: three great everywhere quarterback position. We don't have a top

183
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,359
Speaker 1: ten guy. Nobody would argue Jimmy GE's the top ten guy.

184
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: Can we upgrade without having to lose talent elsewhere? We

185
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: need to. We gotta pay Trent Williams, the left tackle

186
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: who's now hurt. You saw how bad it was without

187
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: Trent Williams Thursday. I mean Nick Mullins was under darrest

188
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: all night. You know, we gotta figure out this receiver situation.

189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: If Deebo Samuels goes down, they've got nobody Brenda and

190
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: you Rookie Kittle goes down. What else we got? Like eventually,

191
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to upgrade Richard Sherman, who has been

192
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: out pretty much the whole year, like they've got Holst

193
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: to Phil Well, how do you do that when you're

194
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: paying a quarterback top dollar? Well, who can you get

195
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: in that You're not gonna have to pay top dollars?

196
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: It's good. Let me introduce you to Sam Donald of

197
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: the New York Check. Do we know if he's a

198
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: franchise guy? No? Do you have to pay him a lot?

199
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: And not really, he hasn't proven it. I think Donald

200
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: could work in San France. Like listen, Matt Stafford, you

201
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: know Chris the Detroit Lions GM and coach. They're on

202
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: their way out. What's gonna happen? Do they move on

203
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: from Stafford and start a total rebuild? Mattie Ice in Atlanta?

204
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: Arthur Arthur Blank, the owner of the Falcons. He's always pray,

205
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: sing around on that sideline, looking very angry. It looks

206
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: like a Bond villain, very unhappy. I don't know. Do

207
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: they tear it down and start over? Julio Jonesy had

208
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: a good run, Mattie Ice, Thanks, We're gonna just move on.

209
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. This shapes up as a fascinating NFL

210
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: offseason if you're the San Francisco forty Niners, because if

211
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: you can slide in Donald and then you can build

212
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: around him because you don't have to pay Donald mill

213
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: he has not earned that. He hasn't There could be

214
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: something for the Niners, and then what becomes a Jimmy

215
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: G and Gavin This is a bit of a layoup,

216
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: right Bill Belichick as Cam Newton, Cam look good for

217
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: what two weeks? Jimmy Garoppolo former forty Niners quarterback, Bill

218
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: did not want to trade him. According to all the

219
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: reports we've had, Greg Bedard on Dan Shaughnessy, all these

220
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: guys have told us, Yeah, Tom Brady forced Craft's hand

221
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: to trade Jimmy G. So Belichick gets this guy back.

222
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Could that be possible? I know, playing went back here yourselves. Fun. Listen,

223
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: we just had an an NFL trade deadline where we

224
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: were expecting fireworks and it was like duds. Nothing went down. Um,

225
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: here's my only thought is Sam Donald is under contract

226
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: for one more year and then San Francisco would have

227
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: to pay him to correct and that would be the

228
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: same kind of thing that happened happened with Jimmy. Jimmy

229
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: they had to pay right away the next year and

230
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: they gave him that contract, and I think we agree

231
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: that they probably regret that. Well, they went to a

232
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Yeah, but it wasn't because of Jimmy. It

233
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: was because of Shanahan's system in the defense. Now they

234
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: don't have that defense. Shannahan is still a great coach,

235
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: but he can only scheme up so much. Right, can

236
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,479
Speaker 1: they get the defense back if Donald is on a discount?

237
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Maybe you say, you know what, let's get Donald. Let's

238
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: get a Donald extension done so we don't have to

239
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: have him dominated my system for a year and then

240
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: have to pay him. Maybe we just get a deal

241
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: done on the trade. I don't know that Donald will

242
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: want to do that. But who else is paying same

243
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: Donald right now? Yeah? I don't. I don't think anyone is.

244
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe the Dolphins go you know, don't like to

245
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: h and maybe San Francisco trades for two big weekend

246
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: for two. I'm fasting weekend, huge game. I mean, listen,

247
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: it's the NFL. There's games everywhere. College football has a

248
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: really good slate. No Trevor Lawrence today, which stinks. Um.

249
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: And you know what, there was a curious NBA decision made.

250
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm still mystified by it. They're gonna be going back

251
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: in late December after the season just ended in October.

252
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: And I can't wait for Lebron to just say to

253
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: the NBA, you know what, I need more time. I'm

254
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: not playing in your Christmas Day opener. Sorry, I'm not

255
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: playing on that Tuesday night where you want to do

256
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: the ring ceremony. Sorry, find go go get the Clippers

257
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: to play, Go, get the Warriors to play. They they

258
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: had the last six months off. Um. So this is

259
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: like a great month in sports, and I think we

260
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: need it, um given everything else going on around the country.

261
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: So coming up X, we're going into college football because folks,

262
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: we just talked about big NFL weekends ahead. I'm not

263
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: sure if you guys noticed what happened in Michigan last weekend.

264
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: The Michigan Wolverines lost as heavy? Were they three touchdown

265
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: favorites something like that? It was a Spartans guy. No,

266
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually I graduated from USC, but I mean I

267
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: covered the Lions, so I have to know Michigan and

268
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Michigan State pretty well. I believe it was something close

269
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: to about two. Yeah, it was definitely out right as

270
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: around three touchdown favorites. And now if you look at

271
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: the schedule, they play and I think an undefeated Indiana

272
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: team today and then Wisconsin, which looked great and then

273
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: has acted canceled two games because of COVID, and then

274
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is this Jim Harbaugh's last stand in Michigan. We'll

275
00:14:48,400 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: talk about that next year on Fox Sports Radio. Today,

276
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: the world's best thoroughbreds will compete in fourteen. Exhilarating races

280
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: have a guest on a horse racing guy. I know

281
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: actually UH did a TV show with him. He I

282
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: don't do horses, but we did NFL together. He's good

284
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: give you some winners, make some money on the horses.

285
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Back here on Fox Sports Radio. Um. Yes, So Michigan

286
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: is in a tough spot because you can't fire a

287
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Michigan guy in Jim Harbor, who has not been terrible.

288
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: He just hasn't won any of the games that have

289
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: actually mattered. Bowl games. Not good. Ohio State hasn't beaten him,

290
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: Michigan States have been great. And again if you just

291
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, it's like, oh, how can you

292
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: fire Jim Harball ten and three, ten and three, eight

293
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: and five, ten and three, nine and four, uh one

294
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: and one this year, but lost four straight bowl games.

295
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: And again, what are bowl games? I don't care about

296
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: bowl games. I don't give a rats behind about bowl games.

297
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: However the donors do. They're shelling out money to travel

298
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: with the team and act like they're you know, in

299
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: the mix with the program and friends with hardball and

300
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: the staff. They love that stuff. They don't like losing

301
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: every bowl game. By the way, Kevin, if we talked

302
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: about bowl games at all, what's gonna happen because they're not.

303
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: They're not happening this year, are they? They are happening. Oh,

304
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: they have like a new branding like college Bowl season

305
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: or something, right, but how can they like, we're we're

306
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: struggling with teams practicing right, and then traveling And now

307
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna travel in the middle of December, which we

308
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: all think is gonna be flu season and COVID is

309
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: starting to get worse again, and then you're gonna be

310
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: traveling to these hounds where there could be outbreaks, and

311
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: then you're gonna play a football game, and then you're

312
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: gonna travel home and you're supposed to expect the fans

313
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: to travel with you, who are these fans that are

314
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna go you You couldn't pay me money to go

315
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: to El Paso, Texas in December to watch a college

316
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: football game. They did cancel the Holiday Ball, which is

317
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: the one in San Diego. Yeah, because of course California

318
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: is paranoid, Like, I mean, the weather in California in

319
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: San Diego is gonna be what? And come on, that's

320
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: the probably could play like come on, I mean before

321
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: probably still go to the quick Lane Bowl in Detroit

322
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: in December. I've been to that bowl game before. I

323
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: nearly caught pneumonia and freezing rain. Oh yeah, it's not fun.

324
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's I'm sure it's awesome to go to

325
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: December Detroit in the middle of December. Um, but like

326
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: I can't kill a hardball for wood. He's done. Like listen,

327
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: four of five seasons top twenty finishes. Can I give

328
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: you one out though that that will make you pause

329
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: it if you are if you Ohio State, No, no, no, no.

330
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: It's their record in the Big House against Michigan State

331
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: and Ohio State. Now this is in in arbor. In

332
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: the Big House, they are one and seven, I mean

333
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: one in six excuse me against Ohio State and Michigan

334
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: State in their own building under horrorball, like those are

335
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: the only two games you really if you're a Michigan person,

336
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: that's the only two games he wants. So you don't

337
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: want to give Michigan State the satisfaction to beating you

338
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: because they're the little brothers. It's like the Clippers. Every

339
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: time you know, you saw this year, it was every

340
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: time the Clippers were stunting on the Lakers. Same thing

341
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: happens every year with Michigan State in Michigan so except

342
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: it just ratches up. But then you also want to

343
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: be competitive against Ohio State. And by the way, Michigan

344
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: State's gone to where Ohio Michigan wants to be while

345
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: Harrorba has been there. They've been to the College Football Playoffs.

346
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: They got stopped, but they got to go there, and

347
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: they've beaten Ohio State and Harbor hasn't beaten Ohio State.

348
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: You can't like if you're in, if you're a booster

349
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: at Michigan, those numbers are fine, but that's not good enough.

350
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: You want to be playing for national titles. You want

351
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: to be playing for But here's the thing that Michigan

352
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: was never playing for national titles and that's the big

353
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: they believe. So, but if you like the years, they

354
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: they're not in the They're not in the mix for

355
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: the national championship. Like that. This idea that Michigan is

356
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: a national title contender because the brand is strong, I

357
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: think that's garbage. They just haven't been I agree, But

358
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: the money is is blind to that. The boosters are

359
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: kind of blind to that. They are not ready to

360
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: admit that that's the reality. Yeah, and and you know

361
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: they're they're in a bit of a warped sense of

362
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: worth right now. What is it? Sense of self worth?

363
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: They really think they were an elite and agree the

364
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: reality is, Uh, the SEC dominates college football. Michigan is

365
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: a great brand. They're gonna win a bunch of games,

366
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: but when you get on the field with the big boys,

367
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win. So now you get on the

368
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: field with Ohio State, Michigan State, and you're not winning those.

369
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: My My only issue with Michigan is if you let

370
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: go of Harbor, what do you do Because you ain't

371
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: getting a better coach and recruiter than Jim Harbor. You're not.

372
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: I think at this point some of his record might

373
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: be working against him, but I agree in a large part.

374
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you've got to also

375
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: sometimes change the scenery is good and sometimes there are

376
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: coaches out there. I look at Notre Dame, which does

377
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: which is basically doing everything Michigan wants to do. Like you,

378
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: You've got a guy who can recruit to the north,

379
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: who can get kids from California, from South Florida to

380
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: come to spend four years their lives in northern Indiana

381
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: in the winter. I'm trying to think that is Brian

382
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: Kelly considered a good in game coach. He's taught them

383
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: to the BCS Championship, He's got the independent where they play.

384
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how if their schedules considered tougher uh

385
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: than Michigan, because Michigan has to play Ohio the state

386
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: every year, they have to play Michigan State. Usually when

387
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: they put out those strength of schedules, Notre Dame is

388
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: usually playing one of the tougher ones, just because I mean,

389
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: they go out there and they pulled teams like Georgia,

390
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 1: and they pulled teams like Michigan almost every year like

391
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: the h and then again they get smacked around in

392
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: the BCS. What was your score when they played uh

393
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: Clemson in the in the playoff or was it out

394
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: of It was like, again, compared to Michigan, at least

395
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: they've gone there. But but you know, the Michigan fans

396
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Chris as a As, they're gonna just say what we

397
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: got there, but we got our butts kicked, we got crushed,

398
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: like we got all these Orange Bowl Outback Bowl peach

399
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: sitters and we lose. Like they're just never gonna be happy.

400
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: There are there is a large segment of the population

401
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: that's never gonna be happy. And I don't know that

402
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: I should admit this, um, but I'm kind of in

403
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: the I'm kind of one of those guys like I'm

404
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm very happy and I'm always like, Okay, that's great,

405
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: but um, I'm never satisfied. I guess my point on

406
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: the Brian Kelly thing is that Brian Kelly originally was

407
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: a coach at Central Michigan and then at Cincinnati. Like

408
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: you can go and get a coach from the group

409
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: of five schools who will who can play at that

410
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: next level. You don't have to always be beholden to

411
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: a Michigan man or to an NFL coach if you

412
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: were a Michigan But there's this, there's this mentality that

413
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: he's a Michigan guy. We're all one, we're all Michigan men,

414
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: and if they fire him in an ugly manner that

415
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: would not go over well. I don't think they fire him.

416
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: I think they find a way to say, hey, Jim,

417
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: you know if if you want to go to the NFL,

418
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: will understand, you know, in a in a polite way,

419
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: but you don't kick him to the curb. His contract

420
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: is up next year, so I think that will be

421
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: something really interesting to keep an eye on. It's definitely

422
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: not going to be like what some boosters have said

423
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: before in the past, where they'll give him a lifetime contract.

424
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. So in the next hour,

425
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: we'll revisit this. Because I have a several NFL teams

426
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: I think work for Harball uh and I don't think

427
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: he's a bad coach. People can rip him, but I'm

428
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: not selling Jim Harba. All right. Coming up next year

429
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, we are going to bring in

430
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,080

Speaker 1: coming to you live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

461
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: It's easy to save or more on car insurance with Geico,

462
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: Go a guy, go dot com call on seven Auto.

463
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: The only hard part figuring out which way is easier.

464
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: All right, Our next guest covers the Tampa Bay Bucks

465
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: and they got a big game. If you hadn't heard, uh,

466
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're gonna be facing Drew Brees and

467
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. Let's bring in T. J. Reeves to discuss it,

468
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: d J, good morning, how are you man? We are

469
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: outstanding here. The weekend has gotten off to a great

470
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: start already in Tampa Bay because my ladies seventh and

471
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: eighth grade middle school soccer team already victorious. I know

472
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: your West Coast and it's early and we're just waking up,

473
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: but they're already victorious this morning. And we've had the

474
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: post game donuts, so everybody's in a good mood and

475
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: I know we're ready to talk Bucks and Saints. So

476
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: t J, let me ask you, um, is this, uh

477
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: soccer been happening all season because out here in l

478
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: A you can't play soccer teams that you have to travel.

479
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's amazing all of the things that start

480
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: with you can't do out in California. But that's a

481
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: whole different discussion, isn't it. So yes, we have been

482
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: playing all years since September and socially socially distant and

483
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: constant and uh conscious of all of this, but soccer

484
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: is outside, and so that helps. And so yes, we've

485
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: had a good time with that and gotten repped up

486
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: and now now everybody's getting wrapped up for Bucks and

487
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: Brady and and Saints and Breeze and a rematch from

488
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: Week one in which New Orleans was much better. Yeah,

489
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. When you think back to

490
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: that Week one game, Uh, you know, the Saints could

491
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: not really do anything on offense with Michael Thomas, with

492
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, with Alvin Kamar, they could do nothing. I

493
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: think they barely had two hundred yards of offense. Why

494
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: do Why am I supposed to think this anything is

495
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 1: going to be different this time? The Bucks defense is

496
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: only getting better. Would you not agree? I would agree?

497
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: And the Bucks have been taken the ball away. I

498
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: had a much bigger clip as well. And that's something

499
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: the Saints by and large don't do, is they don't

500
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. And the and the Buccaneers have

501
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: had great success, starting with that Packer win where they

502
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: got the pick six and one other interception to flip

503
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: the whole game around on Aaron Rodgers in the second

504
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: quarterback three weeks ago. Followed that up with a great

505
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: performance uh in in Las Vegas. Defensively, yes, they gave

506
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: up some yards in a cup with scores, but they

507
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: once again got stopped, got a key interception off of

508
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, got the win. You look at the Money

509
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: Night game, same theme. I know it's the Giants, they're bad,

510
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, But the Giants were winning and the Bucks

511
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: got two takeaways again in the second half to flip

512
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: the whole game around. So turnovers will be a big

513
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: key in this one, because the Bucks did turn it

514
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: over in the Superdome with two Brady interceptions. The Saints

515
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: did not, and that's a large reason why they want

516
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: all right, t J, let me switch it over to

517
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks and Antonio Brown. You've been around the team.

518
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: What's the vibe in specifically the wide receiver group, because

519
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, Antonio Brown obviously very talented. He's obviously got

520
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: a connection with Brady, going back to the Patriots where

521
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: he had a cup of coffee with them. I don't,

522
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I get it. He's really really good.

523
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: But if you're Scotty Miller, uh, if you're Mike Evans Godwin,

524
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: are you a little worried that maybe Brady likes the

525
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: other guy more than everybody else? Well, I think it's

526
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: a good you know, it's a good question because the

527
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: whole chemistry thing does come into play, obviously, and at

528
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: the same time, he is a guy that if he

529
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: is right, now we're not talking about the off field problems,

530
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: we're not talking about the antics in the in the

531
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: locker room. If he is right physically, he is a

532
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: weapon vertically down the field that will stretch the defense.

533
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: And that's what Brady sees. That's what Brady understands. But

534
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: you've got pro bo caliber receivers in Mike Evans and

535
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin already. So your point about how does that

536
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: mesh in the room, I think it's one of those

537
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: worth Antonio Brown understands that he may not get targeted

538
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: eight times or ten times every game. He may be

539
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: used at times as a speed decoy to open up

540
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: other things. If he buys into winning and trying to

541
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: win a ring here with the Bucks, then then I

542
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: think it goes well. Uh god went again. Has had

543
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: a finger injury suffered in the Las Vegas game, didn't

544
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: play last week, practice late this week with a special glove,

545
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: with a splint and a special glove. He is going

546
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: to try to give it a go in the pre

547
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: game wealth and see if he can play. If he

548
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: cannot be, Antonio Brown is gonna be counted on Jason

549
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: even more in this game Sunday Night with Mike Evans

550
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: so t J. My only concern with the Antonio Brown.

551
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: I believe he has an incentive laden contract. And this

552
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: is a guy with a lot of legal issues. Um,

553
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: he ain't making no more money heading forward, like he's

554
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: at the almost at the end of his NFL career,

555
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: maybe a couple more years. They now he's paying him

556
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: big bucks. I just wonder is he gonna be chirping

557
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get the ball? Like he can't be

558
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: a decoy out there when he's kind of paid by

559
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: not paid by Target. But you know, if he hits

560
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: certain milestones. Um, I don't know, am I Am I

561
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: worrying about two much with the bucks here? Well, no,

562
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: I think that it's valid that is he going to

563
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: be a problem if he doesn't get the ball? And

564
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be up to him first

565
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: and foremost. I think Tom Brady has been mentoring him

566
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: and working with him. I mean it's no secret Brady

567
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: has said this. He's been living with Brady and Giselle,

568
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: And there's a there's an image on a Saturday morning,

569
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: there's a reality show in the offing with Antonio Brown

570
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: hanging out having breakfast with with Tom Giselle and the kids.

571
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: But in any event, uh, I think that the Bucks

572
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: believe that Brady will have great influence over him, that

573
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: guys like Gronkowski who's a veteran, this one rings Mike Evans,

574
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: who's a veteran, will have some positive influence on him.

575
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: And he's got to buy in. But here's the thing, Jason,

576
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: he's week to week. I mean that's the reality. He's

577
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: week to week. If he doesn't buy in and he's

578
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: a problem, he will be gone. And and Bruce Arians

579
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: has said as much, he won't be here. So it

580
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: begins Sunday night, let's see. Ultimately it lies at the

581
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: feet of Antonio Brown. Can he behave can he buy

582
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: in on the team concept? And if not, he won't

583
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: be in Tampa Bay very long. Not to be clear,

584
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: I do believe the Bucks are the best team in

585
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: the NFC. That's not a hot taped it. I just

586
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: there's a loaded team, right Brady and m v p

587
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: uh he's in the mix s four picks. However, I

588
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: gotta ask about this, Brady Arians, I don't undercurrent. Um,

589
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: maybe it's buried now because they're doing really strong, But

590
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: Arians did say a couple of months ago, like, we

591
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: don't need Antonio Brown on this team. Then Tom Brady

592
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: sums for him, and now he's on the Bucks and

593
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: he's living with Brady. Um, what are we supposed to

594
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: make of Arians and Brady and the offense? Do you

595
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: think they're running more of a Tom Brady offense or

596
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: a Bruce Arians offense. They're still running the Bruce Arians offense,

597
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: but there's definitely some Brady input on some different routes.

598
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's no secret that they've come into their

599
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: own with him finding Gronkowski on things they were doing

600
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: in New England. I mean, each of the last three

601
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: games he's got a touchdown Grock does. But but I

602
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: think the reality is Mike Evans was hurt earlier in

603
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: the year, God when's been hurt twice and God went again.

604
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: As a propo caliber receivers that does a lot of

605
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: the dirty work. They have been banged up overall a receiver,

606
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: and so there's also COVID concerns. But you mentioned the

607
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: Saints and Emmanuel Sanders that they've been without him for

608
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 1: the last two games because of that. So I think ultimately, uh,

609
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: Brady probably one over the front office, the Glazers, the

610
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Yoda and everybody with Hey, there is there's a lot

611
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: of upside and very little risk here that if we

612
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: bring Antonio Brown we're talking about in and he doesn't

613
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: succeed or he is a problem, we can simply get

614
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: rid of it. But for right now, you have an

615
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: extra weapon and extra depth if guys are hurt. And

616
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: that's another strong argument for why he was brought in.

617
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, t J, let me ask you here to

618
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: wrap up about the fans situation in Tampa. Tampa wins

619
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: this game, they have the inside track on the NFC.

620
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: Seattle could still win it. But I mean, I don't

621
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: think we've ever seen this home field advantage in the

622
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: playoffs followed by the Super Bowl in your backyard. Um,

623
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: how many fans are allowed in the stadium? But Tampa

624
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: now and are we going to see that number go

625
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: up or or is it kept, you know, for the

626
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Currently it's right around which is

627
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: somewhere in the neighborhood of fifteen thousand. The hope would

628
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: be later in the year that it might increase. I

629
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: don't know how much. If it's thirty, if it's if

630
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: it's even if it's you're not going to get more

631
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: than about on the map that are socially distanced. That's

632
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna be the Max and the and the super Bowl. Again,

633
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: that comes from the NFL on what they decide to do.

634
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: And and it might this be the first super Bowl

635
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: that basically has fifteen or twenty thousand people at it.

636
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: It may have to be just because of the current

637
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: circumstance with coronavirus, social distancing, the help guidelines, we'll see.

638
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: But for right now, for Sunday Night football tomorrow night,

639
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: I know it will look mostly empty. It's weird watching

640
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: this in other places like Kansas City, where we've seen fans,

641
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: and a couple of other places where it looks like

642
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: no one is there. But this is basically fifteen thousand

643
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: people that are allowed to be there for our night.

644
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: And I will I gotta I'll ask this. Do do

645
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: have you seen a difference in anything at all on

646
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: the on field product with no fans versus fans this

647
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: season because watching at home, it doesn't sound like any quarterbacks.

648
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna be struggling to get plays off, and there's

649
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: noise and they're taking time out. The biggest thing. Yeah,

650
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing is that everybody can hear everything

651
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: and there really is no home field advantage against the

652
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: opposing team trying to change the play get the playoff,

653
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: you know. And I think it has an influence to

654
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: on the officials. We could go on and on about

655
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: this when when they're making calls. Uh, and and there's

656
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand booze that affects you. You're human. You

657
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: can't tell me about that flag. Monday night at the

658
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: Metal Lands, it gets picked up that if there's seventy

659
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: five thousand booing that it's it's not gonna affect the

660
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: guys on the field. So yes, it is weird. Uh.

661
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: On television you can't tell as much. What the fantas

662
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: need to understand is that a lot of these games

663
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: that have no one there, you're not hearing that fake

664
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: crowd noise or the music. You're hearing everything on the field.

665
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: Pads popping, uh, you know, Audible's curse words yelled every

666
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: which direction. You're hearing all of that because there's not

667
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: anybody there. It's bizarre, great stuff. T J. You can

668
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: follow him on Twitter at buck Sideline Guy. Enjoy the game.

669
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: T j will definitely be monitoring everything. That's a great

670
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: Sunday as the guy that always used to walk down

671
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: Saturday night on this network. Good to be with you,

672
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: Jason here as a part of the Fox Sports Radio alumni.

673
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: And let's see what happens with the Bucks the Saints

674
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: be well. Thank you t J. Alright, good good stuff.

675
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: Uh t J covers the Bucks. Listen, it's a great game.

676
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: You know, this is pri I don't know if it's

677
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: one of the games of the season, but it feels

678
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: like it could have a lasting impact if the Saints

679
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: pulled this off. Folks, they now are in the driver's

680
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: seat for home field advantage because they will have two

681
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: wins over the Bucks. And and what happens if the

682
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: Mercedes has been super domins of getting fans later this season.

683
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff to monitor coming up next. You're

684
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. I'm shocked at how quickly this

685
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: news came out, and you probably missed it this week,

686
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 1: you know, given the election, and um, I would say

687
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football, but everybody was watching, uh the election.

688
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: Actually Thursday Night Football ratings were not bad. But we'll

689
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: talk about this news next in case you missed it. Today,

690
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: the world's best thoroughbreds will compete in fourteen exhilarating races.

691
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: We're thirty one million dollars in purses and awards at

692
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: the Breeders Cup World Championships. Learn more about the Breeders

693
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: Cup World Championships at Breeders Cup dot com slash twenty Alright,

694
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: so the NBA usually is the most fun off season

695
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: of any sport, right the winter. What do they call

696
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: the baseball Gavin the Winner stove hot stove. We have

697
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: that here in California. Well, we have the winner of

698
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: the Winner like owners meetings. I think as well is

699
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: in there. So yeah, that's part of the Yeah, and

700
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: it's like baseball the obviously it's okay. NFL offseason it's good,

701
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: but there's not usually a lot of huge moves. NBA

702
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: is where it's been at for like the last five years.

703
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: A bunch of stars have been on the moves. That

704
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: obviously helps. And now this offseason is gonna last basically

705
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: two months unless you're a team that didn't go to

706
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: the bubble, then it's like seven months. So NBA really

707
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: got screwed up this year. And I gotta be honest, guys,

708
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: it's like two weeks to the NBA Draft, um NBA

709
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: free agencies after that, and I don't know how the

710
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: NBA gets in the discussion. Again. Usually this is all

711
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: happening in June and July when there's nothing else going on.

712
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: Now you've got the NFL College Football again, the Masters

713
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: next weekend, the Breeders Cup today. I don't even know

714
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: if there's any more tennis happening. I would assume no,

715
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: but who knows. Uh, there may be Nascar. I don't know,

716
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: Like it's it's the sports world is just so crowded

717
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: right now. Toss in an election, you know, toss in Thanksgiving,

718
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: and where's the interest in the NBA off season. It's

719
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: just a it's a tough one. Now. The good news

720
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: for the NBA is the biggest you know, Domino is

721
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: nice and it's not like he can go anywhere. Basically,

722
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna get offered the Supermax and you know that's

723
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: about it. And the NBA, I guess decided, you know what,

724
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: we don't have a huge off season. We gotta get money, uh,

725
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: meaning we gotta get the owner's money. So we're gonna

726
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: start to the season December. And I think Lebron has

727
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: been mom on it. Unless I missed a comment Gavin

728
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: from Lebron or um, I don't know. I was just

729
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: thinking about I. I I do think Lebron came out and

730
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: said he supports a Christmas deadline of coming back. Um.

731
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: But I do wonder you know what we saw all

732
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: the decline in ratings and everyone has their reasoning for it. Well,

733
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: we're going to find out because the NBA is going

734
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: to come back against the NFL and it's a normal

735
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: time slate, and if the ratings are still down, I

736
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: want to hear what people are gonna say. Yeah, I mean,

737
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: if memory serves, the NBA usually has a first week pop, right,

738
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: Oh it's back. Let's see a first game, and then

739
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: it goes dormant, and then Christmas is like the rebirth right.

740
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, compare it to that time last year,

741
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. Like, just compare it to what

742
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: it was last year at that time. And also first week,

743
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: second week kind of thing. And we're gonna see, we're

744
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of answers. Well, and again we're

745
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: inside two minutes to play in the in the hour.

746
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: But I wonder how much if the election goes the

747
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: way it is now, how much will a president not

748
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: banging on the NBA all the time because he chose

749
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: to bash it a life? How much will that impact,

750
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 1: if at all? And and we don't know. We again,

751
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: we don't know how much it impacted I do. I mean,

752
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: we've never seen an elected I was told that that

753
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: it had nothing to do with the president in social justice. Yeah,

754
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: so I don't want to hear that. I don't want to.

755
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: I think I think everyone needs to stick to what

756
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: you originally said and then we'll find the answer. I

757
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: don't think the ratings are coming back. I don't see

758
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: anything that showed me that interest in the n b

759
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: A is going to flood back. This I just don't see.

760
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: I don't honestly don't see it going up. There's no way.

761
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: The games don't really The regular season has never really matter, right.

762
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: The teams aren't interesting. That's the thing. Is the storylines.

763
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: What is the storyline? Um? The Warriors might be back

764
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: with the healthy cur Lebron Lebron, Why fatigue, Jason. You'll

765

Speaker 1: enjoy greatness, Guys from Ohio and I'm burned out on

767
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: Lebron and I love it. At least Tom Brady, like

768
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, makes it interesting. I don't have Lebron fatigue yet. Anyways.

Speaker 1: like we have some news here. Uh. In a bit

776
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: of a surprise, the Cowboys have decided to start Garrett

777
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: Gilbert against the Pittsburgh Steelers over Cooper Rush. I thought

778
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: maybe Rush would have a slight advantage um, given that

779
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: he was in the Kellen Moore system already, but I

780
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: guess not. Garrett Gilbert against Pittsburgh. That should be fun.

781
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: And you know what, let's dive right into the weekend slate.

782
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: We've been bringing him on. We discovered this guy. He's

783
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: a sharp guy, Like what three or four years ago,

784
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: started bringing him on the show. He's been crushing it

785
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: and now he's got a wife and kids, so we

786
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: don't text as much during the week about the game's

787
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: t A my main man from Ohio t A. How

788
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: you doing. What's up, Jason? Yeah, I gotta I got

789
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: a baby right by behind me cry while we're on

790
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: y I I'm sure that I'll be I've had those days, buddy. Uh,

791
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: It's it's difficult. Let me let me quickly ask you. Listen,

792
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: we know you can't make money long term betting on

793
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: double digit favorites. Any do you make anything of the

794
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert starting against Pittsburgh over Cooper Rush. It's funny

795
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: you said there was a bit of a surprise. You

796
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 1: thought Rush my story. I actually thought I was eatd

797
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: before last week's game. I thought Gilbert deserved it started.

798
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: So remember Gilbert was with the Browns last year, so

799
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: I saw him up close and personal. He actually had

800
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: a really good preseason. He this is a five star

801
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: quarterback who went to Texas. Yeah, and so he's got

802
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: the pedigree. He's got good size. I mean I think

803
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: he's like six two six three. I mean he's actually

804
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: got a strong arm. I I you might be a

805
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: little bit surprised when you watch him on Sunday I

806
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: mean again, tough, tough matchup against Pittsburgh, but he can

807
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: sling it like I wouldn't. Uh you know to me,

808
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea why they went with the new

809
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: chet last week. Maybe just seeing those system over Gilbert,

810
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: but you never know, Gilbert might surprise you. Yeah. The

811
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: only read I could have on that is, uh, we've

812
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: seen the Steeler secondary get beat deep a little bit.

813
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: They've been exposed. The problem is can he hang in

814
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: there against the past rush Steelers pressure rate, all that

815
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: stuffing I mean through the roof. This is a nasty

816
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: defensive line. But the spread is fourteen, So let's not

817
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: talk about that game, all right, t A, Um, Look,

818
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: I like this one. The listening audience. It has a

819
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: past five hundred dollars to bet on one game this weekend,

820
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: one game, and it's against the spread. You can't do

821
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: it total. You gotta pick a side. Where are you

822
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: advising them to put their money? Well, I mean I

823
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: would say Seattle as long as I can get two

824
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: and a half, right, I mean I think it's two

825
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: and at three I got two and a half. Personally

826
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: for me, this is like you never look, you know,

827
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: I like fading Um, I don't like it, but I

828
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: do fade to Russell Wilson from time to time when

829
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: they're bigger favorites because they keep every game close, right,

830
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean except for last week. I mean essentially, Um,

831
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: you know of their games in the last two years,

832
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: you know they don't win by more than seven eight

833
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: points in a game. So yeah, so they keep games close.

834
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: But when you when you get under a field goal

835
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: or even a field goal in a spot like this

836
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: where you're facing a bad defense, I mean, we know

837
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo is really good last year and the second yeary

838
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: was great, but they have really struggled. They have one

839
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: of the worst plotform. There's maybe the worst slot cornerback,

840
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: Terren Johnson. Um, he's gonna have to face Tyler Lockett,

841
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: who spends almost six of his snaps in the slot.

842
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: You know, Dk Metcalf had that big game last week,

843
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: but you know, probably Trinavius White will will shadow him

844
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: and that will leave lockt roaming free for all those

845
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: people that play props. Take a look at his uh

846
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: receiving yards and and and receptions and you know, uh

847
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: all the One day Fantasy League. So um, I think

848
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna I think there's too much for Buffalo's defense. Um,

849
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: you know early down success rate, which is a much

850
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: better predictor of overall game success than you know, just

851
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: total offense and defense. Seattle ranks third best in the

852
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: NFL and Buffalo's twenty eight. I just think, you know,

853
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: they don't have a pass rush, their linebackers are terrible

854
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: in coverage. I think Russell Wilson's gonna have a field day.

855
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: The weather is supposed to be awesome, seventy and sunny,

856
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: and Buffalo no wind concerns. And Josh Allen, you know,

857
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: he started off the season hot. He was getting m

858
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: VP buzz. His first four games, he was second in

859
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: the NFL in e p A per drop back. In

860
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: the last four games, he's twentieth. I mean, he's he's

861
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: really struggled here. I know he's had some some bad

862
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: weather games to deal with, but you know, he's faced

863
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: the Jets, He's faced some bad defense New England, which

864
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: isn't a great defense anymore. So I think Seattle, with

865
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams back and they get Carlos dunloped in the lineup,

866
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: I think they are the right side here. I think

867
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: they'll be able to score. Essentially, they want to against

868
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: his Buffalo defense. I'm with you. I was surprised that

869
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: it dipped down to two and a half. I don't

870
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: know what people are seeing. Uh, And it looks like

871
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: it's like a soft three right now. So I could

872
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: go back down to two and a half. All right,

873
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: let's go with the next game that you know. I'm

874
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: in the contest and I'm Seattle's my my number one pick.

875
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: But it's a tough week, man, and I know this

876
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: is probably not gonna be popular. I'm sure we'll disagree,

877
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: but I think I'm riding with the Bucks. Favored by

878
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 1: four at home, it's four in the contest against the Saints.

879
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't find one edge that the Saints

880
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: have here. We've seen the Bucks defense get beat over

881
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 1: the top by Herbert. Um. You know, Drew Brees isn't

882
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: beating anybody over the top. Maybe maybe Winston comes in possibly,

883
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: but even with Thomas and Sanders, they could do nothing

884
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: offensively in game one. Um. When Drew Brees started against

885
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: Bowls last year, Uh, he missed one game Bridgewater played

886
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: and Breeze couldn't really I mean, he had decent numbers,

887
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 1: but again it was small, five five point one yards

888
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: for play. I believe. I I just I like Tampa here.

889
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: I almost think it's a smash up spot on Sunday

890
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: Night Football. I think Tampa kind of beats him down. Yeah,

891
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: but it's just it's kind of a rare spot. I

892
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: so I looked up. I haven't seen you know, the

893
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: Saints haven't been more than a three point underdogs two

894
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: album seventeen, Like it's been a long time. I Drew

895
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: Brees in the line official mentioned, Um, so this is

896
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: a rare spot. And yeah, he's not a type of

897
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be true to the top and he's so

898
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: ultra he's still ultra efficient underneath. I mean, he's one

899
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks the NFL when it comes to

900
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: a short passes in terms of accuracy. And yes, they

901
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: do get Michael Thomas back. They also get Emmanuel Sanders

902
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: back this week. Um, I don't know, Like that's just

903
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: a lot of points. I love Tampa like they were.

904
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: I was the one preseason who was saying, like, I

905
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: don't believe in you know, there's a lot of people

906
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: wanted to be contrarian and say that they were going

907
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: to struggle this year, that they're just they weren't as

908
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: good as people thought. I had them in the Super

909
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: Bowl personally, so I've been writing them a lot this year. Um,

910
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: but they haven't really you know, besides that Green Bay game,

911
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: they're not really blowing teams out. We saw them play

912
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: a tight game against the Giants. Are coming off a

913
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: um a Monday night game, so it's a shorter week.

914
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't personally love that that side, to be honest,

915
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: but I can see why, you know a little. With

916
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: the fast linebackers of Devin White and was Lante David,

917
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: I can see they can hang with with Kamara, they

918
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: do a good job of shutting down receivers out of

919
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: the backfield, so I can get where you're coming from.

920
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: One one key injury. We should have mentioned the right

921
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: guard for US. Our left guard for Tampa, Ali Marpett

922
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: is out. He's he's the latest one of the top

923
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: five guards by co Football Focus this year. Um. You know,

924
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: not that the Saints have a great pass rush, but

925
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: just keep that in mind. It's the only time this

926
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: year that a Tampa offensive lineman has missed the game.

927
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: So um, and they have no death behind them, I

928
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: mean literally nothing. A guy who's taking sixteen snaps in

929
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: his career will start, So just keep that in mind.

930
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: That could be something if if the Saints could get

931
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: pressure up the middle against Brady who like pressure up

932
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: the middle. Um, So, I don't know, I'd say smashed spot.

933
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: That's um. That's tough. That's tough against the Sint Listen,

934
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: It's that tough of a week for me. Man, Listen.

935
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. We could talk cults Ravens, like I

936
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: feel like the culture of the side, But I mean,

937
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: do you really want to go against the Ravens at

938
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: their rock bottom after Lamar's four turnovers? I don't know,

939
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: where are you on that game? Yeah? That this You're right,

940
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 1: this is the toughest week of the season. In my opinion.

941
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: There aren't a lot of great matchups that I like.

942
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: I you know, I did take a little bit of

943
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens, but I'm possibly regretting it. I don't know,

944
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: Like the more I look into it, there's something going

945
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: on here. Um, here's the thing. Lamar Jackson is really good.

946
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: If you look at his passing splits between facing man

947
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: cotage and zone coverage, He's way better against zone coverage,

948
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 1: like two times better against zones. Than man and a

949
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: team you know will play man on him because if

950
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: you play are sorry, we'll play zone because if you

951
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: play man and you know, get receivers that go deep,

952
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: he can you know, run for it's some amount of

953
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 1: yardage and it's tough to stop him. Now, the Colts

954
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: play the most zone or as much zone as any

955
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, so we'll see if they change

956
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: it up, so he could he could find success. Ronnie

957
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: Stanley obviously out, is a big injury there at left tackle,

958
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: but they will slide Orlando Brown, who's who's still a

959
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: top you know, top thirty ish tackle in the NFL,

960
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: to the left side, so he'll be he he should

961
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 1: be okay there. Um. You know, defensively, they do lose

962
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: Bowing Humphreys, that's a big deal at corner, and Jimmy

963
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: Smith popped up on the injury report again, he's questionable.

964
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of depth there. They got

965
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters and they got them you know, a rookie

966
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent. Yeah, no, t Y Hilt. So that's

967
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: the thing. So they can't really take advantage because there's

968
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: really nobody on the outside for the Colts to really

969
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: take advantage there. So I don't know. And I know

970
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: that the Cults have a great run defense, but so

971
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: did the Steelers and J. K. Dobbins for over a

972
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards and they ran for two sixty five yards

973
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: of the team. So I think it's a top matchup.

974
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: But if you're getting the Ravens, like you said, you're

975
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: almost buying them at a low spot here. Um, the

976
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: line movement scares me a little bit. Yeah somebody, Yeah,

977
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: well l J Fourth they just announced he's out there.

978
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: He's like their second best linebacker. Um, and you know

979
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: you're you're losing guys at the second and third level.

980
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know if Rivers can take advantage. Uh,

981
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: that's my big concern here. Stay through. He completed passage

982
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: to eleven different guys against Alliance. That's the one thing.

983
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, well, is Jordan Wilkins gonna come through

984
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: our three tight ends gonna really catch passes? I don't know.

985
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: Man Rivers scares me. I haven't really better. Huh, sorry,

986
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: nothing interrupt. Here's the thing with Rivers. He's actually you know,

987
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: Baltimore blitzes as much as any team in the NFL.

988
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: He's actually top three in the NFL in QB rating

989
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: against against pressure this year, you'd be surprised. And so

990
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: that's the one advantage there. But he but how the

991
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: reason he's so good is because he hasn't uh you know,

992
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: his running back especially in the he behind has outlets,

993
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: so he just dumps the ball off whenever SE's pressure.

994
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: The Ravens are one of the best in the NFL

995
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: defending running backs out of the back field. So there's

996
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: just like it's like punch CounterPunch, right, It's there's just

997
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways be a game. Yeah, so

998
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: t there's great games. But we that's the thing. We're

999
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: in week nine. Now, there's half a season of data

1000
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: for all these teams. The lines are gonna be sharper,

1001
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: and the matchups this week or brutal, Like where is

1002
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: a layup? I thought maybe the Raiders getting points that's

1003
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: now pick them? Um, I don't know. Is Washington a

1004
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: lay up? Favored by two and a half? Washington? I

1005
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: don't want to go. Man, you know one side I like,

1006
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: you may or may not like it. I like Arizona

1007
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: a lot, and I'll tell you why. So they're five.

1008
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: There are score and a half over Miami and everyone is,

1009
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, the love fest from Miami now for what

1010
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: they did last week. But if you watch that game

1011
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: and you look at the box score, yeah they were.

1012
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: They were excellent on defense. They scored they such a

1013
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: scored twenty one points of their eight on defensive or

1014
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: special teams touchdown. So they they had. You know, the

1015
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: Rams are up seven nothing, they're driving there inside the

1016
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: any of Miami and then you know, a blindside hit

1017
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: of golf, the fumbles and they return to eight yards

1018
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Then they get a punt return touchdown

1019
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: UM against against the Rams, and then they get another

1020
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: fumble recovery, take it down to the one yard line,

1021
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: they punch it in. So essentially point they had. They

1022
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: put up three yards per play on offense three okay,

1023
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: they to you know in his in his first start

1024
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: um their four point three yards per play. Check this up.

1025
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: So they they put up three yards per play. They

1026
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: allowed a little over five. You know, since two thousand

1027
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: in that situation when an offense is put up three

1028
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: and is allowed at least five, teams are two and

1029
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: one and eight. Okay, So for them not only to win,

1030
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: but to win by double digits, I think it was

1031
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: a complete mirage. I love Brian Flores. I think he's

1032
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: done a great job. You're not gonna be able to

1033
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: to scheme up some of those blitzes against Caylin Murray

1034
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: because he can break free and run. Obviously, golf Um

1035
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: struggles against that New England style of defense like he

1036
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: did the Super Bowl. Was the same you know, strategy,

1037
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: same game plan from Brian Flores. I don't think you

1038
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: can get see the same thing here um. And Miami

1039
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: has no run game. I mean, Miles Gaston is out,

1040
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: Matt Breed, other backup is out. They gotta go to

1041
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard who has fourteen yards on eighteen carries. So

1042
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: you're putting a lot of pressure on too. And you

1043
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: know Vante Partner is going to be guarded by Patrick Peterson.

1044
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: So where did you go? Well, no run game, he's

1045
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: got a bad line and he's gotten you know, no

1046
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: number one receiver essentially if he gets slowed down. So

1047
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: I think it's a tough spot for Miami here. And

1048
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: so I like Arizona. So coming into this week, I

1049
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: loved Arizona. I said it on the podcast Monday, that's

1050
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: one of the teams I'm looking at and then you

1051
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 1: get the COVID news Byron Murphy. Their their second best

1052
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: cornerback out, Kennard out. And then Drake Kirkpatrick, who's been

1053
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: bad but he's he's gotta start because they got nobody else.

1054
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: He's doubtful for this game. Miss practice all week, and

1055
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: I just remember the last time Miami, I know, they

1056
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: had Fitzpatrick faced a banged up secondary in San Francisco,

1057
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: pulling guys off the practice squad. Fits torched him a

1058
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: Secky Parker Williams deep and I don't know if Tua

1059
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: can do that, but he's not gonna be under as

1060
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: much pressure and t A this is uh not data

1061
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: that um it can be quantified at all. So I

1062
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: do radio hits during the week, and I must have

1063
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: had four radio hits this week where I asked the host,

1064
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: so who do you like? And their first pick four

1065
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: times was Arizona And you know that that like, I

1066
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: don't know that they're exactly a square side this week,

1067
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: but everybody you know, it's like to come on, he

1068
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: look terrible, And I just I like Arizona a lot

1069
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 1: as a team this year, I just don't as a favorite,

1070
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: right They lose to Detroit. As a favorite, they lose

1071
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: to Carolina. I know they were a little banged up

1072
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: in that one. As an underdog, they're great, but a

1073
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: favorite of four or four and a half five, it's

1074
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: tough for me to lay it. I don't know what

1075
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: what about. I mean, there's one other game. I like

1076
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: the Bears, and I'm kind of off them because of

1077
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: their injury report. Let let me hear your Raiders, Chargers.

1078
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: I really want to take the Raiders here. This is

1079
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: a tough game because I actually like, really I like

1080
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: both teams going forward. Actually, you know, I got an

1081
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: article off at at Shark Football where I talk about,

1082
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, some of the um kind of early season trends,

1083
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 1: like teams that have faced tougher schedules and have essentially

1084
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: underperformed based on plink differential. And the Chargers were like

1085
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: top of the list, you know, they because they have

1086
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,439
Speaker 1: they look about who they faced. They've lost the Kansas City, UM,

1087
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: the same in Tampa all by seven points, are less, right, UM,

1088
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: So they faced a really tough schedule and you know

1089
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: they're hanging in their losing type games, but they've got

1090
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: one of the easiest, if not the easiest schedule um

1091
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: going forward. So I like them as kind of a sleeper.

1092
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: You can get them at seven plus seven hundreds to

1093
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Um. And you know, they're really shifting

1094
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: their strategy the last two weeks. So Anthony Lynn has

1095
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: been known as a run heavy guy right with Tyrod

1096
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 1: Taylor back in Buffalo and early the season. Well now

1097
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: he's starting to, you know, lift up the reins for

1098
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: for Herbert if if you will. And so they're throwing

1099
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: the ball a lot. They're being a lot more aggressive

1100
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: on first down, which I think is very good. I

1101
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: actually loved the over here, but I know it's not

1102
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: you know, a play obviously for contest. I think they

1103
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: can move the ball obviously on this poor Raiders defense.

1104
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: The Raiders lose Maurice Hearst and Art and Key, two

1105
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: of their best pass rushers. You know, the quarterback situation

1106
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: is tough. Um, they're not They're not that good. Um. Defensively,

1107
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Chargers are are missing Bosa,

1108
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: so that's a big deal. And in the Raiders, Yeah,

1109
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders are again another team. I like them going forward.

1110
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: They look they beat the same thing and uh, they

1111
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs you know, you don't do that if

1112
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: you're not a quality team. They're one of the better

1113
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: offenses in the NFL. If they get their offensive line

1114
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: totally healthy, which they're missing Trent Brown Still and Colton Miller.

1115
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: The right tackle is questionable. They need that. They need

1116
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: those guys to be be healthy. They can move the

1117
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: ball on anybody, So I think it's gonna be I

1118
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: think that the line is right. I think it's essentially

1119
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: a pick on game. It's who has the ball lasts

1120
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: and can the Chargers maintain the lead. If they get

1121
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 1: a lead, I think there will be a ton of points.

1122
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: It would be It's probably my favorite like game go

1123
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: watch of the day. Um, But I don't think there's

1124
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: this other right side here. I think both teams have

1125
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: advanced to just that both teams will move the ball, um,

1126
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 1: and I think there's gonna be a lot of points. So,

1127
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: you know, flip a point. I can't really give you

1128
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: a great angle on that one, all right, t A, Well,

1129
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: thanks for the great stuff, the solid fifteen minutes of

1149
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: was reading uh injury reports during the break and then

1150
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: I just opened social media and all it is is

1151
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: a flood of CNN has projected and named a new

1152
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: president because he won the States or whatever. Wow. Um,

1153
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like a big moment, but

1154
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't know. What do you

1155
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: guys make of that? I mean, what does it matter that?

1156
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: What does it matter that like a network calls it is?

1157
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything. But listen, this is it's not

1158
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna be fun, folks. And you know, I was talking

1159
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: with Coward about this. We like it when the sports

1160
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: are center stage. Obviously, listen, the nation matters, and that's huge,

1161
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: But it's fun when we can watch a football game

1162
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: or settle in for six hours of college football and

1163
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: not have to be worrying about states and election fraud

1164
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: and allegations and tweets from elected like. It's just it

1165
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: just sucks. Let's be honest, it's not fun. It's not

1166
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: fun every night when we need to turn on the

1167
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: TV and we want to settle in for some sports

1168
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: and instead there's this guy said this and this. Did

1169
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, It's just it stinks and it would be

1170
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: and listen, given anybody would love to get back to

1171
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: some normalcy, right, the normal normal what we were I

1172
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: don't know eight months ago, well maybe longer that back

1173
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: than that, but I am looking forward to a Sunday

1174
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: hopefully where it's just wal to wall football and I'm

1175
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: actually I just started. Uh. I got added to this

1176
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: new Sunday show for Fox, so um, it's it's gonna

1177
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: be good. It's a Fox NFL gambling show. Uh, it'll

1178
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: be digitally on all your streams, and uh, you know,

1179
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: we'll be breaking down games like. It's good that we

1180
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: can put aside all that other stuff and dive in

1181
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: to just football Like this. Jim Horball topic fascinates me,

1182
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: and ordinarily I would saying Michigan Indiana not a market game,

1183
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: but given Michigan struggles and Indiana winning against Penn State early,

1184
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: this feels like and I said in the first hour

1185
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: Hardball's Last Stand as our resident Big twelve slash Big

1186
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: ten correspondent Iowa Sam, Yeah, well, it's Hardball gonna be

1187
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: the head coach next year. I think so. Really, I

1188
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: think so. I think he'll he'll I think Indiana is

1189
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: a good team, but he'll beat Indiana because they're not

1190
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: one of his rivals. You know, he doesn't beat his rivals,

1191
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: but he doesn't beat State or Ohio State, but he

1192
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: could take down Indiana, and a win over a ranked

1193
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Indiana team on the road would go a long way

1194
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, staving off the critics for

1195
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: at least the short term. But like that is a

1196
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: marquee game because Indiana is good. Try selling that to

1197
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: a casual fan at Michigan Indiana. It's like, well, this

1198
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: is this is the pandemic season where it is like

1199
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina is in the top and you know, Cincinnati's

1200
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: in the top ten. And I think Gavin and I

1201
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: we talked about this b y U quarterback. If you

1202
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: guys watched any of him last night, he's really kids

1203
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: are pro. Last night I looked him up on Rivals

1204
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: three star recruit and we love these guys who come

1205
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: out of nowhere and and are awesome and go to

1206
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: the go to the league. That's where the big value is, right.

1207
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson is his name. I looked him up on

1208
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Rivals at fifteen offers coming out of high school Boise State.

1209
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 1: I had an offer to him Fresno, Hawaii and he's

1210
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: at b y U and he's absolutely crushing it. So

1211
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: this is a year where a lot of teams could

1212
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: need quarterbacks, and thankfully we will have plenty of good

1213
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: NFL draft content. There's gonna be Jets, um, maybe the Falcons,

1214
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: maybe the Lions, certainly the Jaguars, maybe the Giants, And

1215
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: there's only really three or four guys at the top

1216
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: of the draft. I was sam last quick question, Trey

1217
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: lance Um North Dakota State kid, where is he on

1218
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: your radar? I know they've only played one game this year,

1219
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: but because of COVID, but being a Midwest guys, there

1220
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: enough chatter about him in your neck of the woods

1221
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: of Iowa. Um No, I mean he's been talked about,

1222
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, on national shows. I mean he's definitely a

1223
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: sort of a darling out there in U Fargo. I believe,

1224
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: yeah Fargo. Um, let me just circle back real quick

1225
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: to Zach Wilson. He's had a great season so far.

1226
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: He's actually on Steve Hartman's list for the last couple

1227
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: of weeks. But they haven't really beaten anybody. They're probably

1228
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: their big biggest win so far is Boise State, but

1229
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: Boise States only played two games, and yeah, I don't.

1230
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it will. I mean, there's

1231
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: still demolishing teams, and they look like a top ten team.

1232
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence right right, just by virtue of being absent

1233
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: two games. Mac Jones at Alabama, They're not playing anybody

1234
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. You know, Mac Jones had

1235
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: a nice year so far too. I mean, I think

1236
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: we still have a long way to go for the

1237
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: for the Heisman Show, all right, we'll get back to

1238

1267
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's

1268
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: easy to say or more on car insurance with Geico,

1269
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: go to Geico dot com call seven Auto. The only

1270
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: hard part figuring out which way is easier. So our

1271
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: next guest knows Aaron Rodgers and the Packers very very

1272
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: well Packers with ah, you know, light work against the

1273
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: forty nine on Thursday. I'm I'm curious, Tyler done of

1274
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: the Bleacher Report. Where are you right now on the

1275
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: state of the Packers. It seems like every week it's

1276
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: veering extreme left extreme right. Things are great, Oh my gosh, panic,

1277
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: we don't have receivers. We need to make a move

1278
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: at the deadline. Oh yeah, we're winning the division and

1279
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: possibly going to get the number one seed in the NFC.

1280
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: You just nailed. It's like there's no middle ground with

1281
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: this team right now. And uh, I think that, you know,

1282
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: I haven't lived out there in Green Bay when when

1283
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 1: I covered the team a close day to day for

1284
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: four or five years. It's it's different, man. I mean

1285
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: that the team is a religion there. There's there's no

1286
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 1: fan base quite like it, So I get it. I

1287
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, the overreaction to the Jordan's

1288
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: love pick is the overreaction you're seeing to any time

1289
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: the offense struggles at all, it's instantly, oh my god,

1290
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: you're wasting. Aaron Rodgers is prime. What do you do

1291
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: and what do you think? I mean, Look, I think

1292
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,919
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks would die to have the best

1293
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver in football, a top three running back in

1294
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, the best left tackle in football, and a

1295
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: lot of weapons wh are a lot better than people think.

1296
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't think it's necessarily dire

1297
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: strengths around him and that it really wasn't I think

1298
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: it was brilliant with Brian Goodikins met lafore did. It's

1299
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the worst thing you can do is not have a quarterback,

1300
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: and they had a guy that was thirty six thirty

1301
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: seven playing really well. Bridge is the president with the future,

1302
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, give him a couple of years. I don't

1303
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: know if Jordan loves any good they think he's really good.

1304
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: It deserves the shot here. So yeah, to answer your question,

1305
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: I feel like they're a contender. Um. The run defense

1306
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: is still kind of an unknown after they got gased

1307
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: by Delvin Cook, but they're gonna be in the mix.

1308
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: But they always are all right, Tyler John, I'm gonna

1309
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: play Devil's advocate. Okay. I look at the schedule and

1310
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I look and I said, okay, let's see Green Bays beaten. Oh,

1311
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: they beat in New Orleans and other teams with a

1312
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: winning record, They've beat nobody, and they played Tampa Bay

1313
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: and they got smashed by them. Um, I don't know,

1314
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: are we overreacting to a win over the forty Niners,

1315
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: who you know, basically had the j V unit in there?

1316
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: We probably are that might be might be being kind, right,

1317
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,479
Speaker 1: That was more of the modified team, maybe the sixth

1318
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: seventh grade squad getting called to varsity. That was I mean,

1319
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know if some of the players out

1320
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: there and so they better you know, ripped through them

1321
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: like they did. I feel like they're just they're gonna

1322
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: always have a shot. You know, it's always come comes

1323
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: back to buy the Packers. Is they they just get

1324
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: soft in that in that playoff moment? Right? I mean

1325
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: think back to some of those Niner teams with those defenses, Seattle,

1326
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: they get into the NFC Championship game, that get into

1327
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and they were just generally saw And I

1328
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: think I had a lot to do with Mike McCarthy

1329
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: and the way he ran the show. Removing him from

1330
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: the equation gives them a shot in that moment, I'll say,

1331
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: I think I think that was addition by subtraction and

1332
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: the Matt Laplore has done a lot of good in

1333
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: changing the culture they're inside and out. That being said,

1334
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we just referenced the run defense. That's got

1335
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,440
Speaker 1: to be a concern, but there's there's literally some playmakers

1336
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball that they completely change

1337
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: the defense. And I just get sick and tired of

1338
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: everybody crying about the lack of weapons on offense. Aaron

1339
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers has a lot around him. Yeah, and now now

1340
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go the other side of the coin and Tyler.

1341
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to get too excited. But here

1342
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 1: is the rest of the schedule. Remember the Packers did

1343
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: not win the division last year, so they don't have

1344
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 1: that first place schedule. Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Chicago, Philly, Detroit, Carolina, Tennessee,

1345
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: and Chicago. Um, I'd don't see any world beaters on

1346
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: that lineup. I know the Colts can be plucky. The

1347
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: Bears have a winning record, but it's a there's a

1348
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: whiff of fraudulence there. The Eagles we'll see, but the

1349
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: rest of those teams, I mean, we could be again, Tyler,

1350
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: I know people are panicking. You could be looking at

1351
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: a twelve or thirteam win Packers team that is number

1352
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:22,759
Speaker 1: one heading into the playoffs, the number one seed totally.

1353
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: I mean I think that they're gonna be twelve and four,

1354
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna be thirteen and three. They're they're gonna be

1355
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: right at the top of things there. It's gonna come down.

1356
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: Like you said earlier, I think Tampa Bay I mean

1357
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: a team that can just get that pressure without needing

1358
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: to blit cover on the back end that that's always been.

1359
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there isn't a formula to stop and shut

1360
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: down Aaron Rodgers, but I mean you can contain them

1361
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: to a degree with with that, I mean, and and

1362
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,719
Speaker 1: we when you think back to some of those playoffs losses,

1363
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: that's kind of what happened. I mean, the Giants did

1364
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: it to fifteen and one Packers team Seattle San Francisco.

1365
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: They flustered them up front. So Tampa Bay is just

1366
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: absolutely loaded. I mean, they can get pressure without need

1367
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: to bliss so I think at the end of the day,

1368
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the challenge. I don't know if they

1369
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: can beat Tampa Bay, but I think they'll. They'll be

1370
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: in that game. This this team isn't just gonna crumble

1371
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: and fall apart, all right. So now let me ask

1372
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: about the trade deadline and the whole weapons thing you

1373
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: touched on it. I gotta say, when you know, when

1374
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: you get beat up by Minnesota and then you play

1375
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: Tampa and you get smashed, obviously there's a we need help.

1376
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Davante Adams obviously is a superstar. But I

1377
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: know Alan Lazard. You know, it's not like we can

1378
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: count on Allan Lazard returning and being the big difference.

1379
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: Are you surprised that the front office didn't just take

1380
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: a flyer on a Will Fuller Brandon Cooks as a rental? Um,

1381
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: just why not? You know what, it does make sense.

1382
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,600
Speaker 1: I can follow the logic, and I'm sure there are

1383
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: a lot of Packer fans that can remember nine six.

1384
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, Andre Risen was the ultimate rental had him

1385
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: or half of the season, and I mean he caught

1386
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: the first touchdown in the Super Bowl, So I get it.

1387
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know if it's right or wrong.

1388
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: I just wasn't surprised. They think for all the heck

1389
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: that Ted Thompson took and and Brian Goodkin says, is

1390
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: different in a lot of ways. Maybe he'll take chances

1391
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: that Ted wouldn't, but when it comes to value in

1392
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: draft picks, when it comes to just being conscious, there's

1393
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: still a lot of dead there in that front office.

1394
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: I think so they They've got a lot of young receivers.

1395
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: I think that that forty nine a game, granted, you

1396
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: know JB team, like we said, marcusvel the Scandling perfect example,

1397
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: already has this terrible drop and you can just kind

1398
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: of hear everybody in Wisconsin upset that they didn't trade

1399
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: for Will Fuller. And then he comes back he makes

1400
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: two big plays. I think that they are confident in

1401
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: the young talent they have. Alan Bazzard. Yeah, it's it's

1402
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: not a name a lot of people know, but I

1403
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: think he's a legit number two receiver. I mean, he

1404
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: looked great before that injury, and they're getting him back soon.

1405
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 1: They throw all these different tight ends out there, and

1406
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: this is a team that is gonna want to run

1407
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: the ball. And I know Aaron Rodgers has been, you know,

1408
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: unbelievably efficient at this point of his career. But Matt

1409
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 1: with flour can get creative. He wants to pound the

1410
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: ball with Aaron Jones, Jamal Williams. You can see he

1411
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: really wants to get a j Dillon going to Yeah.

1412
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: I just think that this isn't a team that is

1413
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: necessarily gonna go three, four or five wide and need

1414
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: all these weapons that receiver. So why would you just

1415
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: give away give away a mid round pick that you're bad? Yeah,

1416
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: that that's a fair point. I did make a mistake, Tyler.

1417
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: I just got a text from somebody like, hey, the

1418
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: Packers won the division last year, you idiot, My bad.

1419
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: I messed that up. You probably didn't want embarrass me.

1420
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: I they did win the division. I don't know what

1421
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: explains this easy schedule. They're gonna be favored in every

1422
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: game the rest of the year. How is this possible

1423
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: that they got this cupcake schedule despite winning the division.

1424
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Usually you know you're supposed to play that first place schedule.

1425
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,759
Speaker 1: But wow, oh my gosh. Well, anyways, all right, Tyler,

1426
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: I guess I'll wrap up by this. Do you anticipate

1427
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: fans in Green Bay should they get home field advantage

1428
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: or host a playoff game. I know right now COVID

1429
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,959
Speaker 1: is not looking good, uh in your neck of the woods.

1430
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: But come January, do you think there will be fans

1431
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: in the stadium? Oh? Boy, I wish I wish I

1432
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: had the answer to that, man. I mean, I don't know.

1433
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: It's it's bad in Wisconsin right now, and they've got

1434
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: the maps on the big statues of Curly Lambo and

1435
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,600
Speaker 1: been some party outside of the stadium to try to

1436
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: tell folks they put put this thing on. I'd be

1437
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: totally gutting right now. It doesn't it doesn't look good,

1438
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: and it's it's too bad. You wish that there was

1439
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: some kind of middle ground, some kind of balance, some

1440
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,600
Speaker 1: kind of way to to get fans in there. But

1441
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: when it's spiking like this in all these cases, I

1442
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: definitely would think that they're just gonna play it safe. Okay,

1443
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 1: All right, Tyler Dunne follow him on social media at

1448
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: uh I butchered that the Packers definitely won the division

1449
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: last year. And you know he's a good interview when

1450
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't be like yo, yo, they did win the

1451
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 1: division last year. What a brick. But thank you too.

1457
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: longer the president with Biden winning and now Antonio Brown's

1458
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: coming back. Those two have nothing to do with one

1459
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,400

1468
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: Racing in November. Masters coming up next week, college football,

1469
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: you know, besides the ten games that are canceled. Good

1470
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: slate this weekend, UM NFL. Thankfully no gains canceled. I

1471
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:17,600
Speaker 1: do have a mild concern. I don't know, Gather and

1472
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Sam if you agree, But let's say you are a

1473
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: two and twelve NFL team and you've been on pretty

1474
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: much lockdown for three plus months and you you're not

1475
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 1: going to playoffs? Are you being as safe as you

1476
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 1: were back in September when it comes to not hanging

1477
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:37,640
Speaker 1: out with friends? You know, remember your twenty six year

1478
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: old young guy in your prime? Are you being as

1479
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: safe as you should be? And do can we expect

1480
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: more COVID numbers in the NFL going forward? I wouldn't

1481
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: think so. And no, I do think you'll expect more numbers.

1482
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: I don't think they can be trusted. No. I guess

1483
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: that's my only concern, And it came up after I

1484
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 1: saw I don't know who reported maybe Mortenson, that they're

1485
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: an fell tinkering with a sixteen team playoff eight in

1486
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: each conference as opposed to seven, and I'm like, why

1487
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: would they announce that? Now? What on earth is going on?

1488
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: And I wonder if behind the scenes the NFL is

1489
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: a little slightly slightly concerned about everybody keeping their keeping

1490
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 1: their act together. I mean, if one guy gets it

1491
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: and he's hanging out. Now, we did see the Ravens,

1492
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey got it all his contact tracing. None of

1493
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: them contracted it, which is great news. Um, you know,

1494
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: obviously given Halloween last week, there was some concern. I mean,

1495
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,799
Speaker 1: it's only been what six days, seven days, no real impact,

1496
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: I don't think, at least locally for us. Nationally it's bad.

1497
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: And then you know, voting on Tuesday, and now you know,

1498
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: we get into November and it's it's a nightmare. So

1499
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: what's that? Oh, yes, yes we have Well we'll get

1500
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown in a second, but first we have

1501
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: the Geico Play of the day, Zach playfake five step drop.

1502
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: He throws on the end direct and not a touchdown

1503
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: catch for Rex. He goes down and in an end

1504
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: for six, Isaac Rex in the end zone and the

1505
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,759

01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:39,080

1514
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: to buy a house. You're seeing some prices come down. Um,

1515
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, we're I don't know that we're in

1516
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: the market. We're always just looking around seeing what's out there.

1517
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 1: I think that's what you kind of have to do.

1518
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 1: And you could argue that Tom Brady was always looking

1519
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: around to see how they could improve Tampa Bay and

1520
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: adding Antonio Brown man, I'm listen. I'm I'm anti Antonio Brown.

1521
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: If you guys heard me on the Odd Couple when

1522
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: the news broke a couple of weeks ago, I was

1523
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: blasting Antonio Brown as a human being. He is, by

1524
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: all accounts, all the litigation against him, and all the

1525
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: allegations that are out there, not a good human being.

1526
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: He's just not. He's done a lot of bad things. However,

1527
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta give people a second chance. Antonio

1528
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Brown is on what is He's had a lot of chances,

1529
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: and it is weird to see Brady want to bring

1530
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: this guy into his house, um and try to rehabilitate him.

1531
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Antonio Brown in Florida has had

1532
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: some problems. UM. I guess maybe that's why Brady wants

1533
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: to insulate him a little. I'm sure there's a support

1534
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 1: staff they're hanging with Antonio Brown. Um, but he could

1535
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 1: be the difference between this team being the super Bowl

1536
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: leader and you know, a really good, good contender. I mean,

1537
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: think about it. If Seattle is number one competition, how

1538
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: on earth is the Seattle secondary, which has been the

1539
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: one of the worst in the league all season, How

1540
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: on earth are they supposed to contend with Godwin Evans,

1541
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 1: Gronk and Antonio Brown. Earlier in the show, we had

1542
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: um T J. Reeves from He's a Oh Okay, We

1543
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: had T. J. Reeves on Buck Sideline reporter, and you know,

1544
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about the Antonio Brown situation,

1545
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes you gotta take that chance, uh

1546
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: that the Bucks are all in there giving him a chance. Uh,

1547
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: you would expect when Brady is doing things like reaching

1548
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: out to Tony Robbins, Tony Robbins to kind of help

1549
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: him out and get Antonio Brown back on the right path,

1550
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 1: because remember, this guy in Pittsburgh was an awesome talent

1551
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: and it's not like he's that old at this point. Um,

1552
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: I think he could be a huge difference maker. Uh.

1553
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: And that Bucks team we'll see. I think I think

1554
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: they're the team to beat in the NFC. Alright, so

1555
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: final hour coming up. We'll do a lot of NFL,

1556
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: we will touch on horse racing, We'll do some more

1557
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: college football. Um, it should be a fun final hour.

1558
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on in the world, and thankfully

1559
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: sports is still happening. Back after this our number three

Speaker 1: This is a big hour right now for college football.

1565
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: The Pack twelve is finally getting underway. I always Sam,

1566
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: how fired up are you? Pack twelve is back? Baby?

1567
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: Whoa actually you know? Pack twelve got a long way

1568
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 1: to go to get back last Pack twelve national titles?

1569
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,560
Speaker 1: What USC like five teen years ago? Or am I

1570
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: missing something Oregon didn't win not with Mariota. Um, they

1571
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: need the Pac twelve to come back. Listen, we've seen

1572
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: the ratings for UH college football dip a little bit.

1573
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: I saw of the top five games this season, three

1574
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: of them are Big Ten games. Big ten obviously has

1575
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: a large UM footprint in college football, and you know

1576
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: the Big twelve being good Ohio State matters. It would

1577
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: be nice if they could get Michigan back, UH and

1578
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve obviously massive. Obviously. The other big news

1579
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: is now every network has said it's UH. Joe Biden

1580
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 1: has it, including Fox News, which is a surprise. And

1581
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: I at some point, Gavin, I would like to get

1582
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: back to our NBA discussion we were having in the

1583
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: studio NBA NFL and UM, it's not for right now,

1584
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: but I think it's an interesting one in that the

1585
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: NFL had was having a struggle in the post Peyton

1586
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 1: Manning years. If you guys remember that, it's like, well,

1587
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: the NFL had Peyton Brady. We were seeing them almost

1588
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 1: every year play in the playoffs. Peyton was in the

1589
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: most commercials and everybody loved him. And you know, Tom

1590
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 1: Brady kind of wore the black hat with the Patriots

1591
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: and Belichick and it was like those two going at it.

1592
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: And then Peyton retires and you're like, oh, what what's

1593
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: the NFL gonna do? Within I don't know, want five

1594
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: years we have Lamar Jackson winning an MVP. Last year

1595
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: we have Pat Mahomes winning an m VP and a

1596
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl. And this year, right out of the gate,

1597
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: we got Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, like, oh, who

1598
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 1: are these guys? Wow, look at this? This is fun

1599
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: and we've seen two of for like, you know, thirty

1600
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: passes or whatever the number is, I wonder And you know,

1601
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: Gavin and Chris in the first hour kind of steered

1602
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,799
Speaker 1: me toward it, like what's what's the big juice bringing

1603
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: the NBA back? There is a sense of Lebron fatigue. Um,

1604
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:05,719
Speaker 1: I don't think Maybe Kyrie and Katie can put together

1605
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: and eat video and game and they stay healthy. They're

1606
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 1: always hurt. But the guy looked at was was Luca

1607
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: don Chech and Zion. Luca kind of popped in the

1608
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: playoffs the kind of the same way that Burrow and

1609
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Herbert have popped during the regular season, and obviously the

1610
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: pops are different. NFL. We know it's the biggest sport

1611
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: in America, no question. And you know, college football or NBA,

1612
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 1: It's unclear which is second. From the ratings perspective, it's

1613
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: college football. It depends what else you want to count,

1614
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: uh that matters in the World Series, you know, obviously

1615
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 1: did not have great ratings, but the Dodgers were a

1616
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: great story. Everybody's happy to see them when their first

1617
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: World Series since And I just wonder in the NFL, like,

1618
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,879
Speaker 1: are we are we gonna have to worry if Breeze leaves.

1619
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: And I think the the answer would have to be no, right,

1620
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Drew Brees retires, Okay, you got a great career,

1621
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: You're a Hall of Famer. We're gonna miss you in

1622
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans. But it's not like, under any circumstances the

1623
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: NFL in trouble because Drew Brees retires. I mean, Brady

1624
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's going anywhere. The stat that I

1625
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: loved heading into this season more than any was that

1626
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was forty three years old and no quarterback

1627
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: at the age of forty three had played more than

1628
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: six games in a season in NFL history. Well, Brady

1629
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 1: is smashing that he's an m VP candidate, and oh yeah,

1630
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: he's got twenty t d s and four interceptions. Like

1631
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this, Like Tom Brady is old,

1632
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: he's just not he's gonna play. Listen, when Brady said

1633
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna play at five, guys, he wasn't lying. He's

1634
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna be in the NFL till he's forty five, barring injury,

1635
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: of course, And and the league is fine a couple

1636
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 1: of years ago is what we got to Shawn Watson.

1637
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 1: He's up and down. We have Russell Wilson. NFL is

1638
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:11,639
Speaker 1: really in an amazing place, and you would hope that

1639
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: even if Hardball leaves Michigan. And by the way, I've

1640
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 1: got we've got that game on in the studio. Michigan

1641
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: takes the opening kick, okay, and unimaginative Jim Harball diving

1642
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 1: into the line of scrimmage on first down, swing pass

1643
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 1: for negative yards on second down, incomplete bomb on third down,

1644
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: and I mean, I just don't know what on earth

1645
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 1: Jim Harball is doing coming out with that game plan.

1646
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: Three and out in a must win game for Jim Harball. Now,

1647
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 1: I know the Big Ten is gonna be okay if

1648
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: Hardball leaves. And I'm telling you, guys, I know. I

1649
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,719
Speaker 1: Alwa sam our Big Ten correspondent said that Hardball probably stays.

1650
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, this seems season seemed like it's

1651
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 1: on the verge of spiraling out of control again. Wisconsin

1652
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,759
Speaker 1: next up. I think it's only is it a Friends

1653
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: and Emily deal? At Indiana today? Iowa, Sam, I see

1654
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 1: a smattering. I think now they Yeah, they can't really

1655
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: have fans. Um. We got Iowa here, Iowa against Sparty.

1656
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: The Hawkeyes are rolling down the field with ease. We

1657
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: got our first pack twelve game. It's a good day

1658
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: for college football. So you know, it's raining. It's supposed

1659
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 1: to rain out here significantly in l A. Although it

1660
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: was calling for like seventy chance of rain and you know,

1661
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,679
Speaker 1: it's not really raining that much. It's not as bad

1662
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: as we thought. Um, But our game plan was like, Hey,

1663
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna play some board games. Hey we're gonna maybe

1664
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: watch a movie. And I had somebody tell me that

1665
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: they showed their I think fifth grade daughter of the

1666
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: movie scream. Have you guys seen that? Oh? Yeah, it's

1667
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: a classic. Yeah, and the Drew bid They couldn't get

1668
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: past the Drew Barrymore scene, which is like the opening

1669
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: seat of the movie. And uh, you know, I don't

1670
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 1: think my kids are ready for screen. They're not into

1671
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: the scary movies yet. Okay. I loved scary movies growing up,

1672
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: but not in in fifth grade. Um. All right, So

1673
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: as I alway gets into the red zone and Michigan

1674
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: looks to hold off Indiana early, it ain't looking good.

1675
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: I had Robert Smith on my podcast Straight Fire this

1676
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: week when we talked about the hardball situation. Here's what

1677
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,599
Speaker 1: Robert Smith of FS one said about Jim Harbor Michigan

1678
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: even with now a three and three record against Michigan

1679
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: State uh and owen five record against Ohio State. I

1680
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 1: still think that uh and even if he loses to

1681
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 1: Indiana this weekend, which what certainly is not outside of

1682
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 1: the realm of possibilities. I think that we've just we've

1683
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 1: seen everybody say like this year, let's just count this year. Okay,

1684
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: let's just not count this year, let's worry about what

1685
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 1: happens next year. And I honestly think that would be

1686
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,640
Speaker 1: the case, and just thinking about what kind of competitor

1687
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 1: he is uh uh and and obviously being a Michigan man,

1688
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't think the school is gonna want to get

1689
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 1: rid of him. And I certainly don't think Jim Harbaugh

1690
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: is walking away, especially h if he doesn't beat Ohio State.

1691
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 1: There's no chance the man is leaving Michigan with an

1692
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 1: oh and five record against Ohio State on his own. Yeah.

1693
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 1: Robert Smith on my podcast Straight Fire Iowa, Sam, I

1694
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, as after watching your Hawkeyes drive down

1695
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:32,639
Speaker 1: easily in score, how do you handle the Michigan Ohio

1696
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: State game? Like It's tough for me to say, you

1697
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,520
Speaker 1: gotta beat Ohio State. They're gonna be like seventeen point underdogs,

1698
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: maybe more so. What Like, it's kind of unfair, is

1699
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 1: it not? Isn't it unfair to say, Hey, you gotta

1700
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: beat Ohio State. Dude, You're you're probably gonna be three

1701
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: touchdown underdog. Your your your chief rival is one of

1702
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 1: the best teams in America. It's not a great hand

1703
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: to be Dells. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, Like,

1704
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 1: what do you want to just keep him in there

1705
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: until he beats Ohio State. Okay, I think it was

1706
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: his first year. Do you remember that they had that

1707
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: questionable fourth down spot at like the thirty yard line, Gavin,

1708
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 1: do you remember that? Yeah? I think it was a

1709
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 1: mean and listen, Michigan had that game one. I thought

1710
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: the refs jobbed him on the spot. I also had

1711
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 1: money on that game that I lost. M But you know, yes,

1712
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 1: I do remember bets from five years ago, some of

1713
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 1: them heavier than the others. Don't laugh. I know you've

1714
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: got Chargers bets over and I'm thinking, man, it's rainy

1715
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know about that. Yeah. By the way,

1716
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: I like this kid Daniels. This this, Uh, you know,

1717
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to compare black quarterback to Lamar Jackson,

1718
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 1: but just watching him scoot, look at this kid, go,

1719
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, loose. That's like, yeah, he's a night

1720
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: what I calls. Yeah, he's he's wiry like Lamar. He

1721
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 1: can really sling it. He's got like an under respected

1722
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:54,679
Speaker 1: arm and uh he runs some nice rpo action, although

1723
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,800
Speaker 1: you know the USC linebacker can't bite like that. Goodness gracious,

1724
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:00,840
Speaker 1: so it's good to I feel it's starting to feel

1725
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 1: like a big College Football Weekend. Well, and now you

1726
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:08,599
Speaker 1: have all the conferences. We've missed. Big storyline, Jim Harbaugh,

1727
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be? And now, what what do you

1728
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: guys do with Clemson? If they lose this game with

1729
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 1: no Trevor Lawrence and then they run the table, can

1730
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: they still get in the playoff? Because I don't know

1731
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: that a Pact twelve team is going to be in

1732
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 1: the mix. I don't know what Big ten teams are.

1733
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 1: Let's say Wisconsin goes undefeated, what are they gonna be? Five? Six?

1734
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,680
Speaker 1: And oh can they get into the plus? It's just

1735
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 1: so much uncertainty. Uh in college football this year. I listen,

1736
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: I love it. Um. I haven't paid as close attention

1737
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: to college football, but I think today's the day to

1738
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 1: lock in and really kind of enjoy the sport. With

1739
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: all the conferences um happening all right, before we got

1740
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 1: a break, we were got something good here. Former Notre

1741
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 1: Dame quarterback Brady Quinn has chimed in on Notre Dame

1742
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Clemson Clemson. I believes the five and a half point

1743
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:01,799
Speaker 1: favorite seems like a big number. Um. Here's Brady Quinn

1744
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: offs one on the Irish and Clemson. They can compete

1745
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:07,439
Speaker 1: and they can win this game. I mean, look, not

1746
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:09,560
Speaker 1: having Trevor Lawrence, who if you go back to the

1747
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:13,439
Speaker 1: last time these two teams played the semifinal game, that

1748
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 1: was what really hurt them. But that game was a

1749
01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 1: lot closer than the score board actually indicated. It's gonna

1750
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 1: be about whether or not Notre Dame's defense can stop

1751
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 1: Travis et In. If they can stop him, put this

1752
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: entire game on DJ shoulders and then control the game

1753
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 1: on offense with their rushing attack, their stable of running backs.

1754
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:31,880
Speaker 1: But also Ian Book is a part of that. I

1755
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 1: don't think it's not being just competitive. I think there's

1756
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 1: no doubt they can win. Huh. Interesting now, listen, I

1757
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:40,720
Speaker 1: haven't watched Notre Dame closely enough to know if they

1758
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 1: can win this game. I thought the Clemson freshman looked

1759
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 1: good last year, but not great last week. Sorry, did

1760
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 1: you see him the five star kid? Yeah? Yeah, I

1761
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 1: mean they got e t n. You know, they got some.

1762
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 1: They got talent, There's no no question about that. But um,

1763
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 1: you just Brian Kelly. You know we talked about him

1764
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 1: earlier as a potential coach, uh for for Michigan. I

1765
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 1: is Michigan and upgrade from Notre Dame. It feels like

1766
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 1: a lateral move. I Brian Kelly's going anywhere. He's going

1767
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 1: to the NFL, right, Um, So here's what we'll do

1768
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 1: coming up next. We're gonna talk about potential landing spots

1769
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: for Jim Harbow. There's four or five that makes sense

1770
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 1: in the NFL, assuming he leaves college football. And then

1771
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna go back to the NFL and look at

1772
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:26,719
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson because folks, it's coming off arguably the worst

1773
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 1: game of his career, four turnovers, and there is now

1774
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:33,639
Speaker 1: this question, is he a big game quarterback? Kenny Deliver

1775
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:35,880
Speaker 1: in a big spot. I don't want to hear at

1776
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 1: home last year against the Patriots. I don't want to

1777
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,760
Speaker 1: hear that. I want to hear about what have you

1778
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 1: done for me lately? That's what matters. We'll talk about

1779
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 1: that next year on Fox Sports Radio. Today, the world's

1780

Speaker 1: best thoroughbreds will compete in fourteen eggs Zilarating races were

1784
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:16,640
Speaker 1: really popping? Early, folks. We're twenty minutes in and Indiana

1785
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:19,760
Speaker 1: just scored a big boy touchdown. He just I think

1786
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: that's the correct term. There's mossing right. He just went

1787
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 1: up and got it, big kid. I have to google

1788
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 1: that guy to see how big he is. He looks

1789
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 1: like just based on that play and he was being

1790
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 1: interfered with. So Indiana goes up on Jim Harball seven zero,

1791
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: Iowa picks off Spartis quarterback they're driving. Is that his

1792
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:43,599
Speaker 1: name Lombardi? His name is Rocky Lombardi. He's actually from Iowa, Iowa. Sam. Um,

1793
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 1: he is six four. That was Miles Marshall Indiana put

1794
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 1: put to put him on an NFL draft next to

1795
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. I don't need any receivers. Goodness great. So

1796
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 1: maybe the jet scrabing the Ravens. Maybe USC is about

1797
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: to score because the Arizona State had dropped the punt,

1798
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,679
Speaker 1: like off his face masks like come on the clown show,

1799
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 1: and um, so that'll be good. First pack twelve TD

1800
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 1: of the season. We're waiting for a ruling, but at

1801
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: any rate, um, it just feels like college football's back. Oh,

1802
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 1: Michigan is a mesk. I couldn't even feel the kick off.

1803
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 1: It goes to the end. I mean, miss listen, guys,

1804
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 1: I like hardball. Um, I'm not going to trash him

1805
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 1: the way Rob Parker does. I will admit I've been

1806
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 1: wrong on hardball. I firmly thought they would be a

1807
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 1: playoff team and win a championship under Harball, it's hard

1808
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:37,040
Speaker 1: to not call him overrated how much you know they

1809
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,759
Speaker 1: put on him. I mean again, you look at the records.

1810
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 1: He has not been awful, but given the expectations. But

1811
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: that's that that Chris gave us earlier today. One in

1812
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:50,719
Speaker 1: seven from Michigan at home against Michigan State and Ohio State.

1813
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I uh oh it looks like USC oh

1814
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 1: is it elbow down? I can't. Oh. So that's where

1815
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, does it cross the plane and count right away?

1816
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 1: That's going to be reviewed for a minute. Um, so

1817
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:10,120
Speaker 1: you have to go back to Harball for a second. Like,

1818
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 1: what's the word I think underachieved? Can I say that

1819
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: without calling him overrated? Because it's it's Stanford awesome? Rebuilt

1820
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 1: them into a really really strong team. Did have Andrew luck?

1821
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 1: Uh At San Francisco turned Mike Single to his team

1822
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,679
Speaker 1: which had some pieces but could never get it together.

1823
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Uh turned San Francisco into a team that went to

1824
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,479
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. He made Colin Kaepernick. Guys, Let's remember

1825
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick was nothing. He was a quarterback at the

1826
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:42,479
Speaker 1: Nevada who was a non factor. Hardball turns Kaepernick into

1827
01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: a superstar and they go to a super Bowl and lose.

1828
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 1: And you know, listen, I ain't defending the guy here

1829
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 1: at Michigan. He just hasn't achieved. Like, look at this, Uh,

1830
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:54,839
Speaker 1: they can't. They have probably negative yards of total offense

1831
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:57,160
Speaker 1: now and it's a third and a million and they're

1832
01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 1: about to put it back to Indiana, which looks fired up.

1833
01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 1: You can just watch a game and get a sense like,

1834
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:06,439
Speaker 1: oh boy, you could feel the momentum. And look at Iowa.

1835
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,760
Speaker 1: Look what they're doing, just rolling up and down the

1836
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 1: field against Sparty and Uh, I would say they should

1837
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:17,200
Speaker 1: be a little inspired because they're own two. You know, yeah, understandable.

1838
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:19,639
Speaker 1: Michigan State will be flat coming off the big bus.

1839
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 1: Jugan win, Michigan win. What about the kid who had

1840
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 1: an awesome bowl game for um Iowa. He had like

1841
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,960
Speaker 1: a punt return or receiving touchdown. Yeah, mere Smith marcaid, Well,

1842
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:31,640
Speaker 1: he's suspended for this game because he got to know

1843
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:35,639
Speaker 1: a w I. So oh right after the Northwestern laws. Yeah,

1844
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:40,839
Speaker 1: w d U I operating while intoxicated, driving under the influence,

1845
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I didn't see. Oh that's good. Yeah, frustrated.

1846
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,600
Speaker 1: And so he he was out driving his car and

1847
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:49,680
Speaker 1: he had been drinking, unfortunately, and you know, it's a

1848
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 1: poor mistake that too many young people make. But he's

1849
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 1: out this game, and you know he's he's being punished for. Hey,

1850
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: we all make really dumb mistakes when we were young. Um,

1851
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: that's a bad one. And you know, I'm sure he'll

1852
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 1: pay the price. Iowa now in the red zone. Boy,

1853
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: these angry. It feels good, all right. So Jim Harball,

1854
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you my landing spot number one and Iowa,

1855
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 1: Sam and Gavin let me know what you think. I

1856
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 1: think landing spot number one that makes the most sense

1857
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:19,640
Speaker 1: is the l Hardball played for the charges at the

1858
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 1: tail end of his career. Anthony Lynn I in my

1859
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Gambling column, I said it reminds Anthony Lynn

1860
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 1: reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry gets all

1861
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:33,360
Speaker 1: upset at the car rental agency. He's like, you're great

1862
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 1: at taking reservations, you just are good at holding them,

1863
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 1: and Anthony Lynn at getting leads, but you can't hold

1864
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:44,640
Speaker 1: one to save your life. And I think Jim Harball

1865
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: would gladly take that. Now. The other aspect to this,

1866
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 1: Dodgers are on fire out here in l A. They

1867
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: win the World Series, Lakers with Lebron win the NBA Championship.

1868
01:37:54,880 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 1: Rams have been to a Super Bowl. USC is very popular. Um,

1869
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 1: if you're the Chargers, you got a new stadium, you

1870
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:06,919
Speaker 1: need to make an impact. And I think Jim Harbaugh

1871
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 1: is that kind of guy. Now, are you buying tickets

1872
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 1: to go see Harbor? No? But he's enough raw ra

1873
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: that you're like, oh, okay, I can get on board

1874
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: with this. He's gonna talk some smack as he did

1875
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 1: in Michigan. Can he deliver? Well, He's got Herbert, they

1876
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 1: have a great roster. I think the Chargers make the

1877
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: most sense for Jim Harbor. You know they were on

1878
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 1: my list of where he would go for sure, UM

1879
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: underrated or you know my first Charger game I went to.

1880
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh was the quarterback. So I grew up thinking

1881
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 1: Jim Harbow was this Charger great? Um? Yeah, I mean

1882
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 1: I get it. Um. I Also the two other names

1883
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,599
Speaker 1: of my ballot for a next Chargers coach is Lincoln

1884
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 1: Riley and Eric b Enemy. Would love to see either

1885
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 1: of those guys. Um. So yeah, like you think Lincoln

1886
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: Riley would. I don't know enough about him. Is he

1887
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:58,439
Speaker 1: leaving Oklahoma? Like they're not that good? They weren't good

1888
01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 1: this year and they haven't been. And you know, I

1889
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: think where Herbert is right now, you can get in

1890
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 1: with him in his second year and and you know,

1891
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 1: the possibilities are endless. Yeah, if you're a coach who

1892
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: wants a quarterback. The problem is that the spanos Is

1893
01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: are a very very cheap run organization. Yeah, he's making

1894
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,600
Speaker 1: They're going to have to finally pay up instead of

1895
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 1: getting a retread coach. So my my number two choices

1896
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:29,720
Speaker 1: Iowa Sam goes crazy over a touchdown pass by the

1897
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: Hawkeyes fourteen zero over his party. Um, the Chicago Bears

1898
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: they drafted I believe they drafted Horball. He played for them, certainly,

1899
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:45,560
Speaker 1: And he's got that tough guy, blue collar um Midwest

1900
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: ethos if you will, were He's just into toughness. That's

1901
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,519
Speaker 1: that's like the Hardball brand to me is he's just

1902
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 1: a tough guy and as a tough coach, tough talker.

1903
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 1: Remember this is the guy who got into it with

1904
01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:01,800
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll at midfield after a win. You know, hard

1905
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 1: he just he doesn't say he's a no nonsense guy.

1906
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 1: I think Naggy's in trouble in Chicago, even if they

1907
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:10,639
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. We know the GMS in trouble. Um.

1908
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 1: The problem is you don't really have a quarterback in Chicago.

1909
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what they have with Trubisky, but they

1910
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: didn't extend to me. I don't think he's long for them,

1911
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: And like, come on, Nick Foles. I know he wanted

1912
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but let's be realistic. Roster's decent, but the

1913
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 1: skill position players stink. I don't know where are you

1914
01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 1: guys on Hardball and the Bears. I haven't really thought

1915
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 1: about it. I'm so concerned about their quarterback situation. It's

1916
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 1: interesting adjacent for what it's worth. I know that the

1917
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:37,439
Speaker 1: charges are obviously now in l A. But Hardba did

1918
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:39,680
Speaker 1: coach at the University of San Diego before he went

1919
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:41,640
Speaker 1: to Stanford. He's had a lot of success on the

1920
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: West Coast. Obviously, taking the forty Niners to a Super Bowl.

1921
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: Did great at Stanford, did really well at San Diego.

1922
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,679
Speaker 1: So I think his home might be out here. Yeah,

1923
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:51,759
Speaker 1: he he's in I think he went to high school

1924
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 1: out here. I think he's a Northern California guy, nor

1925
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 1: cal Can, I say, North Calia, but playing for the Chargers,

1926
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 1: coaching in San Diego. You could see the by the way. Yeah,

1927
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 1: I'm still We're gonna get to our guests here in

1928
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: a second, but I'm still getting like, I've never heard

1929
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 1: anyone from this area call it so Caw. Is that

1930
01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 1: kind of nerdy? I mean, I grew up with a

1931
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: lot of kids that called it SoCal and may or

1932
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 1: may not have had so Cow chest tattoos. Get out

1933
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:21,000
Speaker 1: of here. Some some kids take it way too far

1934
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 1: wow um. And then people in so Cow will call

1935
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 1: it nor Cow. But if you live in nor Caw,

1936
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 1: you call it no Cow. It's really interesting. It's California

1937
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:37,120
Speaker 1: is weird. It's everything is so easy out here. We

1938
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 1: just find things to spend our time arguing about no Cow. Yeah. Alright,

1939
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 1: So coming up next here on Fox Sports Radio, we're

1940
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk to my guy Dave Weaver. Uh, he's at

1941
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 1: tv G network. We're gonna talk about the Breeders Cup.

1942
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 1: But first, here's Isaac Loewen trending in. All right, Jason,

1943
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 1: let's get right to at the college football scoreboard. With

1944
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 1: third teen thranked Indiana playing host to number twenty three Michigan.

1945
01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:07,720
Speaker 1: Here is the legendary Don Fisher on the i U

1946
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 1: Radio network. And here's another throw the endzon. This time

1947
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: it's Marshall and he made the catch. Touchdown Indiana milds

1948
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:19,599

Speaker 1: on Twitter at ice Cold Exact Dave Weaver. How you doing, buddy?

1986
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 1: It's Breeders Cup Day. This is like, you know, for

1987
01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: a horse racing fan, there is no better day. So

1988
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Let me ask you this.

1989
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 1: So when we started working together at tv G a

1990
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: couple of years back on a on a show, you know,

1991
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 1: you were the horse racing star. I didn't even know

1992
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:46,640
Speaker 1: what an ice cold EXACTA was for the audience. You know,

1993
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,960
Speaker 1: can you tell everybody what an ice cold exact day is? Okay?

1994
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:51,439
Speaker 1: So you know you got a horse to win. That's

1995
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:55,120
Speaker 1: a win back, place back, first or second, show bat first, second, third,

1996
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: But an exact dat is when you have to pick

1997
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,080
Speaker 1: the horse that wins and you have to pick the

1998
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 1: horses finishes second exactly in that order. So that's the exact.

1999
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,560
Speaker 1: But when you really think that it's just going to

2000
01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 1: be a lock a slam dunk and ice cold, that's

2001
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 1: where you go with the ice cold exactly. So if

2002
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 1: you have one bet that you really love on the day,

2003
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna make it your ice cold exact. Okay, so Dave,

2004
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:23,040
Speaker 1: let's get right to it. Breeders Cup today. What is

2005
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 1: your ice cold exact or do you have one? Well,

2006
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,400
Speaker 1: I actually was just gonna give you a horse, but

2007
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 1: now I mean since I am ice cold exactly, that

2008
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 1: would make sense that I have to do it now.

2009
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, So the biggest race of the day. Um,

2010
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 1: there are twelve races already up to race number five,

2011
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 1: so they're zipping through because they started so early because

2012
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:43,600
Speaker 1: then you're not having lights at Kieman, so they have

2013
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 1: to get all these races in before the sun goes down.

2014
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 1: So they started seven o'clock specific time, so at ten

2015
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 1: o'clock local time over in Lexington, so they're colored to

2016
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 1: race six. But we're gonna talk race number twelve, that

2017
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 1: is the long tine. Breeders Cup Classic is the best

2018
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:02,120
Speaker 1: of the best. Around the world the greatest horses, so

2019
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 1: they go for a six million dollar person. I like

2020
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 1: the two horse hits the Law. That might be a

2021
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:08,760
Speaker 1: name that some of the listeners recognize because he was

2022
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:11,479
Speaker 1: the favorite in this year's Kentucky Derby and he did

2023
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:14,720
Speaker 1: not win. He finished second in the Kentucky Derby, but

2024
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:18,719
Speaker 1: he had one every other race up until that point.

2025
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:22,200
Speaker 1: I think he bounces back and he redeems himself from

2026
01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 1: that Kentucky Derby laws. So the number two horse Kids

2027
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,719
Speaker 1: the Law is the winner. Now we need to figure

2028
01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 1: out who's going to be second on the bottom part

2029
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: of that high schooled exactly, and we're gonna go to

2030
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,680
Speaker 1: the number eight horse, and probable we're probably gonna be

2031
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: a favorite in this race for trainer Bob Baffer's the

2032
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 1: California based horse that each race outside of California's son.

2033
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:44,760
Speaker 1: But I think leaving California is a bit of a

2034
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 1: disadvantage to him and that gives his The Law the edge.

2035
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:48,639
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna be good enough to finish second.

2036
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:51,400
Speaker 1: So the ice schoold exact that if you're betting at

2037
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:55,400
Speaker 1: tv G dot com to eight race number twelve. Okay,

2038
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 1: for those who don't know. TVG is a horse racing

2039
01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 1: cable TV network on fine horse racing betting site. So

2040
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 1: you just go on there, sign up and uh, you know,

2041
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:07,559
Speaker 1: follow Dave's advice. He's won a lot of money betting

2042
01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 1: on horses. David, I'm curious, how long have you bet

2043
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 1: it been betting on horses? Well, um, legally since I

2044
01:47:14,479 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 1: was eking, because that's how old you have to be

2045
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: in Telford the bet. But I've been going to the track.

2046
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 1: I grew up in Cyprus, so that is where loss

2047
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:26,680
Speaker 1: Aliments Racecourse is um At and I was probably a

2048
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 1: mile from the track. So what I would get nine, ten, eleven.

2049
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:34,519
Speaker 1: I would go with family members and my my brother

2050
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 1: was a little bit older, so I kind of had

2051
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I was a little bit older than

2052
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:41,760
Speaker 1: my age would indicate. So I was like ten, but

2053
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 1: I was acting like I was, you know, eighteen, so

2054
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:45,920
Speaker 1: I would just go and hang out. So I was

2055
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:47,439
Speaker 1: just kind of grew I grew up at the track,

2056
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 1: you know. So the fact that I now worked in

2057
01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:52,840
Speaker 1: horse racing um is a dream come true because I've

2058
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: always been somebody that loved the horses and and loved

2059
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 1: the math of it and just loved the betting side

2060
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 1: of it, so it just made sense. Everything's worked out

2061
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:04,680
Speaker 1: well for me. So I've probably been betting for it's

2062
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: on forty six now, so I've probably been betting for

2063
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:10,200
Speaker 1: thirty eight years, probably when I was eight that somehow

2064
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:12,800
Speaker 1: got my dad to make a two dollar bet for me. So, Dave,

2065
01:48:12,880 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 1: how do you so? Were your parents big into the

2066
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:19,800
Speaker 1: horse racing down? No? Interesting, So it wasn't It wasn't

2067
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:23,240
Speaker 1: even my my family, but like some neighbors would like

2068
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:25,040
Speaker 1: to go, and you know, me and my brother would

2069
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 1: would pack along with them and just kind of grew up.

2070
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:30,640
Speaker 1: And that was back there was no TV g you know.

2071
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:34,160
Speaker 1: This was where you would get the results of the

2072
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 1: prior nights races when the Orange County Register came on

2073
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 1: your driveway, you know, or the l a time. You

2074
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:43,559
Speaker 1: would literally get racing results in the next morning's paper sometimes.

2075
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:48,960
Speaker 1: But things have certainly changed. Wow, alright, so Breeders Cup

2076
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 1: today and uh, you know, Dave, I'm curious, how how

2077
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:57,160
Speaker 1: has the horse racing year been leading up to this? Impacted? Geez, NBA,

2078
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 1: NFL everything? College football ten games canceled today? How was

2079
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 1: it impact of horse racing gambling? This year. It has

2080
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 1: been a year like no other. And again, at one point,

2081
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:09,920
Speaker 1: obviously with the pandemic first hit back in like mid March,

2082
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:15,320
Speaker 1: racing was essentially shut down, like like every track was

2083
01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: was not even open um, you know. They wanted to

2084
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 1: keep the jockeys safe. And they were two tracks that raced.

2085
01:49:24,840 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: There was one and like Little Grand Island, Nebraska called

2086
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,839
Speaker 1: Shawner Park, and there was one in Oklahoma will Rogers

2087
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 1: that normally would take about five dollars in handle on

2088
01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:38,560
Speaker 1: a given day, and they were people were betting like

2089
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:43,559
Speaker 1: seven million dollars on these races because there was nothing

2090
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: else to bet on, you know, And it was just

2091
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 1: still nice because people need regularity, and horse racing fans

2092
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,519
Speaker 1: are some of the most passionate, like they're just so

2093
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,519
Speaker 1: used to playing the ponies that even though it wasn't

2094
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, del mar Keenland, was still something that's get

2095
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:03,519
Speaker 1: their mind off of everything. Everybody's locked down at home,

2096
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:05,559
Speaker 1: and it was just nice that TVG was still able

2097
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 1: to show horse racing, not at the elite level, but

2098
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 1: it was just those moments are kind of what I remember,

2099
01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 1: just to kind of get us through and then slowly

2100
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 1: but surely tracks figured out how to kind of isolate

2101
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 1: jockeys and make sure that the protocols were in place

2102
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: to be much more shafe, and I think we're it

2103
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,640
Speaker 1: seems like everybody's backed up and running now and a

2104
01:50:25,720 --> 01:50:28,759
Speaker 1: lot of the tracks are familys. You know, some allow

2105
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,160
Speaker 1: certain amount of minimum fans, but for the most part

2106
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:35,720
Speaker 1: it's just empty race track, which was really weird. It's

2107
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 1: it's it's it all feels so strange. I'm watching, you know,

2108
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,679
Speaker 1: packed twelve football here at the studio and there's no fans,

2109
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 1: and then you look at the Big ten, no fans.

2110
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 1: It's just it's a crappy year. But you know, Dave

01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: is on the board, how about it. Michigan in deep

01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 1: trouble early and they quickly rebound and get on the Listen.

2123

2131
01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:02,599
Speaker 1: By the way, Arizona State imploding. Uh USC has taken

2132
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 1: the lead, and UH it looks like another turnover by

2133
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 1: a s you can't get out of their own way.

2134
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 1: A bit of a disaster. Great college football slate today.

2135
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:16,759
Speaker 1: Indiana up now fourteen seven on Michigan. I missed what happened?

2136
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 1: Did you see what I was in? Indiana? Indiana has

2137
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 1: taken We've been very busy behind the scenes here. Yes,

2138
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:26,640
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on here. Steve Hartman has

2139
01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 1: walked into the building. I think he wrote Donald Trump's Concessions.

2140
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 1: Just kidding, Hartman, I'm joking up, just a joke. Just Georgia,

2141
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 1: Florida later today, the World's formerly known as the World's

2142
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: Cocktail Party. Cocktail party. Hopefully everyone's wearing their masks. It's

2143
01:52:44,040 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 1: gonna there's not gonna be what is there? Well, I

2144
01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be a lot of tailgate. The

2145
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: game is in Jacksonville, per tradition, j Ville baby, So

2146
01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:54,320
Speaker 1: they're they're a little bit more lax with the COVID protocol.

2147
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:57,080
Speaker 1: But um, there should be some fans there, I would think.

2148
01:52:57,439 --> 01:52:59,720
Speaker 1: And then of course we have Clemson at Notre Dame. Yeah,

2149
01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:02,360
Speaker 1: Clemson not one of the first Super Bowls I attended.

2150
01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:06,000
Speaker 1: And again I was in a I was working, you know,

2151
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:08,240
Speaker 1: for magazine for a magazine at the time, so I

2152
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 1: wasn't going to the game. I was going to the

2153
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:14,719
Speaker 1: parties and like reporting on the parties, and um, Playboy

2154
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 1: party in Jacksonville was off the hook. And one of

2155
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:21,679
Speaker 1: my another party I went to was a Hooters super

2156
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:26,439
Speaker 1: Bowl party. This is like two thousand six, and um,

2157
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:32,160
Speaker 1: I remember Jim Kelly, the former Buffalo Bill's great, you know,

2158
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, listen these It was a Hooters super Bowl party,

2159
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:36,880
Speaker 1: so there was like a bait bikini contest. It was.

2160
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 1: It was a good scene. And I will not forget

2161
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly and his like buddies making their way to

2162
01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:45,800
Speaker 1: like the end of the stage. You know, the girls

2163
01:53:45,840 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 1: would walk across and everybody would say whatever, and people

2164
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 1: would vote on who's winning the contest, and then Jim

2165
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 1: Kelly and his buddies we're helping the girls off the stage,

2166
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 1: and you know, like Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly

2167
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:01,760
Speaker 1: and all these Hooters women. It was. It was a

2168
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:05,320
Speaker 1: good time. Other than that, Jacksonville was a rough town.

2169
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:07,800
Speaker 1: It's just spread out. You know. I'm more of a

2170
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in a near area guy, where everything's in

2171
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:13,720
Speaker 1: the same proximity. Like, I don't know, Miami last year

2172
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,439
Speaker 1: was great. I'm a little worried about what the heck

2173
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:19,679
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is gonna look like in uh in February,

2174
01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:22,719
Speaker 1: Like will there be fans, will there be the pump

2175
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:25,200
Speaker 1: and circumstance around the Super Bowl? Who's gonna be on

2176
01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Gavin, I'm asking you right now, as

2177
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: we finished the first half of the season, who you

2178
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:33,920
Speaker 1: got in the Super Bowl? Um, that is tough. I'm

2179
01:54:33,920 --> 01:54:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna go Chiefs, Seahawks. Chiefs. Yeah, and you know what,

2180
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 1: I understand the hesitancy on Seattle because of the defense,

2181
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,760
Speaker 1: but I just I just trust them. I trust Russ

2182
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,080
Speaker 1: and uh, otherwise I would go Bucks. I think the Bucks. Okay, yeah,

2183
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna go Bucks. Steelers. See, I can't wait

2184
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:56,080
Speaker 1: for a Steelers Chiefs game. Okay, so we've seen teams

2185
01:54:56,240 --> 01:55:00,800
Speaker 1: like the Niners get to my Homes with the edge rushers.

2186
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:02,640
Speaker 1: The four Niners did it for fifty minutes in the

2187
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:04,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and then fell apart tired at the end.

2188
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:08,200
Speaker 1: What and Dupree will get to Mahomes and then if

2189
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 1: you're forcing Mahomes to make those quick passes, can the

2190
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 1: Steelers zone, assuming they play a zone, uh, get it done?

2191
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,360
Speaker 1: Because if you could get to Mahomes before, you'll have

2192
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: a chance, and the Steelers can. They've got great front four. Um,

2193
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:24,360
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers will have a chance there. I do.

2194
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously like Mahomes a lot to

2195
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: love about it, but I think the Steelers have a chance.

2196
01:55:29,440 --> 01:55:31,720
Speaker 1: The only thing is does Ben fall off a cliff?

2197
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 1: Does Bensburger struggle at One of the sneaky things is

2198
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:37,680
Speaker 1: like if you look at the Football Outsiders d v

2199
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 1: o A quarterbacks, and again this is free info. You

2200
01:55:40,920 --> 01:55:42,360
Speaker 1: know you could go look it up. It's not like

2201
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:46,400
Speaker 1: you need to subscribe anything. They break down everything. And

2202
01:55:46,840 --> 01:55:49,040
Speaker 1: Ben is not having a good season. You know, he's

2203
01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:52,880
Speaker 1: coming off the shoulder surgery or elbow one of those two.

2204
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 1: But Ben just hasn't been great this year. He just

2205
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 1: has not. It's kind of a sneaky um. He's not

2206
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:01,600
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field. If you look at

2207
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:04,040
Speaker 1: all his passes, they're short. I don't know if that

2208
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:06,840
Speaker 1: means his army's shot or they don't want to get

2209
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 1: the hamstring injuries to the to the receivers because they

2210
01:56:09,080 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 1: have the speed on the outside. They got Washington, they

2211
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 1: got Deonte Johnson. Those guys are burners. Um, they got Claypool.

2212
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:17,120
Speaker 1: A lot of the stuff is short and then the

2213
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 1: yak yards after the catch. Steelers are great at that.

2214
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:22,520
Speaker 1: We saw them tear up Tennessee with it. Tennessee's like

2215
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:24,840
Speaker 1: we're not giving up the big play and they just

2216
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: gave up like twenty slants to Johnson and Juju who

2217
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 1: just would turn up field on these terrible cornerbacks for

2218
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:34,280
Speaker 1: the Titans and picked up yardage. Um. I like this

2219
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh team a lot, a lot, the continuity on that

2220
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 1: offensive line, elite defense. Yeah, I just I liked them.

2221
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 1: I always say him, who you got in the Super Bowl?

2222
01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:47,160
Speaker 1: I was Sam's doing some research on the Hawk. Are

2223
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 1: they got twenty one nothing? I think it's twenty one nothing? Uh,

2224
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:52,680
Speaker 1: they are up twenty one nothing in the Super Bowl.

2225
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:55,640
Speaker 1: I picked the Chiefs and the Packers, and I picked

2226
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:59,280
Speaker 1: you can come off those now having seen half to see?

2227
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:01,200
Speaker 1: Well now that I have, so, I had the Bucks

2228
01:57:01,240 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 1: in the NFC title Game, right, but I had the

2229
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:05,880
Speaker 1: Packers advancing. I don't see the Packers advancing past the Bucks,

2230
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:07,720
Speaker 1: especially if it's on the road, seeing how they got

2231
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:10,960
Speaker 1: absolutely panted in Tampa Bay a few weeks ago. You

2232
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:13,480
Speaker 1: look at their schedule, I think they have like one

2233
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:16,400
Speaker 1: or two winning wreck winning teams the rest of the way,

2234
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 1: and they might both be Chicago. It's talking about the

2235
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 1: Packers here. Don't play anybody, but still, you know the

2236
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: weaknesses of a team come out in the playoffs. Obviously

2237
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: in Green Bay's defense against the forty Niners is not

2238
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:30,320
Speaker 1: a good representation of what they can actually do. I

2239
01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: mean they're not they're not. They're not very good, very

2240
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:35,960
Speaker 1: good defense. Seattle doesn't run it as well. By the way,

2241
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 1: Jayra Alexander left the game against the Niners. He's their

2242
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 1: best cornerback, he's one of the best in the league.

2243
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:42,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, have a chance of No, No,

2244
01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:46,000
Speaker 1: they did not have anything. By the way, worst beat

2245
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:49,800
Speaker 1: all year was the under in that Packer Niner half.

2246
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:53,520
Speaker 1: That last second, literally last second, touchdown took it over.

2247
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 1: It's weird, Gevin, I don't mess with a lot of

2248
01:57:56,600 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 1: totals because I hate rooting for inactivity and no pins

2249
01:58:00,760 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 1: or I just want touchdown, you know, because like then

2250
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:07,919
Speaker 1: you get in like the fantasy uh, fantasy football impacting

2251
01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 1: the gambling. I was on a fantasy roll. I got

2252
01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:12,560
Speaker 1: up to second place. Um, and now I've lost two

2253
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:15,520
Speaker 1: in a row. And I started hasty Thursday thinking, oh

2254
01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 1: they got nobody. Hasty will get the touches. And it

2255
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 1: was The McKinnon Show, and that's where you knew. Two

2256
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:22,760
Speaker 1: drives in Like Jason, if your kids ever say when

2257
01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:25,200
Speaker 1: am I going to use this math? The answer is

2258
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:29,080
Speaker 1: betting totals in sports, because you're always going, okay, at

2259
01:58:29,120 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 1: this rate hit you know, yeah, I know. The dad

2260
01:58:32,400 --> 01:58:35,360
Speaker 1: life stuff is fun. And you know your kids are

2261
01:58:35,440 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 1: learning a different way to do math now, and they'll

2262
01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 1: show you the problem and then show you how they

2263
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 1: got there, and you're like, what are you doing? Why

2264
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 1: don't you just do this? And I did that and

2265
01:58:45,040 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 1: then my wife's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. The teachers get

2266
01:58:47,560 --> 01:58:50,480
Speaker 1: ticked if you don't like follow their protocol, So just

2267
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:53,320
Speaker 1: step aside. And so I'm no longer helping with the

2268
01:58:53,400 --> 01:58:56,280
Speaker 1: math homework. And I'm good with math. I was a

2269
01:58:56,360 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 1: math Listen, if we're get we're going full on honesty, year,

2270
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 1: full complete honesty. I'm not hide of holding anything back.

2271
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:07,400
Speaker 1: I was a great student in elementary school, phenomenal math.

2272
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:09,720
Speaker 1: I won the I think it was third or fourth

2273
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:12,080
Speaker 1: grade spelling b and like this other girl was really

2274
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 1: good at spelling and I was kind of rubbing in

2275
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:15,320
Speaker 1: her face and she because she lived near me and

2276
01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:17,440
Speaker 1: we were friends, and I was kind of, you know,

2277
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't look girls in like third or fourth grade,

2278
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:22,760
Speaker 1: and um, and she cried and I felt bad about

2279
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:26,400
Speaker 1: it later, but whatever. And then we get to seventh grade, okay,

2280
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:29,440
Speaker 1: and it was like, you know, three or four elementary

2281
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:33,240
Speaker 1: schools merge, and at that juncture, I mean sixth grade,

2282
01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:36,080
Speaker 1: I started to get into girls. And then seventh grade

2283
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:39,200
Speaker 1: like you know, three or four middle schools combined, and

2284
01:59:39,280 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, look at all these girls. And I

2285
01:59:42,080 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: got on the A B hon Our all the first

2286
01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 1: two quarters or whatever it was, and after and then

2287
01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:49,920
Speaker 1: I got my first girlfriend. And after that, I don't

2288
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 1: want to say the grades tanked, but they did not

2289
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 1: do well. And I was just you know, smitten, chasing

2290
01:59:57,440 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: girls and like, oh I like this girl. And anyway,

2291
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:05,840
Speaker 1: that's a little window into the old Jason McIntyre experience. Listen.

2292
02:00:06,280 --> 02:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Similar for sports, I was a great athlete in elementary school.

2293
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:10,640
Speaker 1: I know, Jason, why are you living off like thirty

2294
02:00:10,680 --> 02:00:12,560
Speaker 1: five years ago? What are you? What are you doing? Um?

2295
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:15,520
Speaker 1: And then come high school, everybody else had gotten bigger

2296
02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 1: and I was not bigger. I know, you guys see

2297
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 1: me on the Graham and I look jacked, and you

2298
02:00:19,120 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 1: want to make nice comments, ha ha. I was not

2299
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:24,480
Speaker 1: in high school a small guy, and I got pushed

2300
02:00:24,520 --> 02:00:26,640
Speaker 1: off the ball and soccer, and I mean I couldn't

2301
02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:28,160
Speaker 1: get to the rim and basketball, I was like, you

2302
02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 1: can't make the team. And that's how I got into sports.

2303
02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:33,600
Speaker 1: And fast forward a bunch of years and here I am.

2304
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: I just rambled for two minutes about nothing, folks. I

2305
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:39,000
Speaker 1: got breaking news for you. I'm going to get my

2306
02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 1: first COVID test right now now. It has nothing to

2307
02:00:41,560 --> 02:00:44,360
Speaker 1: do with me being exposed. Basically, I'm doing that news

2308
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:47,120
Speaker 1: show for Fox tomorrow digitally, and you've gotta be tested
