8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: fast the sports life comes at you. It wasn't that

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: long ago. We were told Jimmy g even though he'd

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: won seventy five percent of his games and got into

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, he was just a game manager. Enter

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Trey Lance a game breaker. But it was all theoretical.

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: And if you follow my tweets over the years and

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: don't take it personal, I just don't think Trey Lance

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: is a major league quarterback. As a matter of fact,

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: it's been misreported Tree Lance is not QB three in

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco. He's QB four behind Brandon Allen. Now he's

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: on his way to Dallas, and I wish him well

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: because he's still got plenty of time to live up

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: to the hype and from everything I understand he's a

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: hard working guy and a good guy, and so hey,

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: the cream always rises, so he's still gonna have his chance.

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: The sports world comes at you fast. What was it

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: twenty six days ago? The Angels decided to make a

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: decision something I absolutely respect. Tip my cat a cap too.

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: They said, no, no, no, no, We're pushing our chips

27
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: to the center. We're going for it. We're not only

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: not going to trade Otani, he doesn't want us to

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: trade him this year, but we're gonna go out and

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: get some help. And it's been unreal what's happened to

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: the Angels since then? Every time you turn around, the

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: lead at the end of the tunnel is just another

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: oncoming train. And now, just like that, o Toanni's magical season,

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: his historic season, the one they say it's too good

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: to be true. It probably is. And it was the

36
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: quote arm fatigue that kept him out for the last

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in terms of pitching, caused him to

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: leave his start Wednesday after one of the third innings. Well,

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: it turned out there was a little bit more nefarious

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: injury than they knew. A tear in the ulnar collateral

41
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: liignment of his right elbow. He's done pitching in twenty

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: twenty three. Fortunately, he was back in the lineup for

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the Angels for game two of Wednesday's doubleheader, so maybe

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: he'll be able to hit the remainder of the year,

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: something he's done before. For the record, he was even

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: an outfielder in Japan. The truth of the matter is,

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: we don't know what's gonna happen here. They're gonna take

48
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: it day by day. And it's been reported he's gonna

49
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: get Tommy John surgery. We don't know that, all right.

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Here's why, Welltani is going to get a second opinion.

51
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: There are a couple of other procedures that can be done.

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Rich Hill, who's now pitching into his sixties in the

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: major leagues. I remember when he pitched at University of Michigan,

54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, back in the nineties. Was there. He had

55
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: a procedure called an internal brace procedure. There are other

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: non surgical means. Masahiro Tanaka was able to avoid Tommy

57
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: John surgery. But if Otani does need Tommy John surgery,

58
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: it'll be the second time he's gotten it. Matter of fact,

59
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: October first to be the five year anniversary, and it

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: was a long recovery. He didn't pitch in twenty nineteen,

61
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: and it was a lingering issue in twenty twenty when

62
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: he only made two starts. So Otani's injury is bad enough,

63
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: but it raises a bunch of other questions. The Angels

64
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: are they just completely snaked? But yeah, very I don't know.

65
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I can't explain this. They're nine to eighteen since July

66
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: twenty sixth, when they decided to take Otani off the

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: trade market and go on a playoff push. There are

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: almost eleven games out of the wild card race. And

69
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: if you believe you know, the analytic websites like fangrafts,

70
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: they have a zero percent chance of making the playoffs.

71
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: Now I'll buy that. I've seen crazy comebacks before. We're

72
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: not even in the labor day yet, but look, you

73
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't hold my breath. You get you get

74
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: the drift. Okay. I'm not suggesting anybody go out there

75
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: shoot babies at the moon or make a you know,

76
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: akneedle in a haystack. Bet this off. This Angel offense,

77
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: even with trot back, they just can't. Again, they couldn't

78
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: score in a women's prison with a fifth full of fifties.

79
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: They just can't do it. The question also, these are

80
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: the Angels potentially snaked it for the future. We don't know.

81
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: We don't know everybody. You know, everybody's got their opinions

82
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: to going to Seattle, going to Boston, going to New York, going,

83
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, going to the Dodgers. Oh yeah, I see,

84
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: they're just waiting for him. You don't know anything. I

85
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: do know he likes very much playing for the Angels,

86
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: and I do not know he likes very much living

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: in southern California. And before this injury, I was giving

88
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: him a sixty percent chance he stays with the Angels,

89
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: and I still think he will get Will he get

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: six or seven hundred million or whatever? No, probably not.

91
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: But remember this is an international superstar, an elite talent

92
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: at transcendent talent, who also has incredible star quality, and

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: he played right field in Japan. So if he ever

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: pitches again, he's gonna be a great everyday player. I

95
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: believe maybe they bring him out of the pen, or

96
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: maybe he come back, comes back and make fools out

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: of all of us in two years from now, he's

98
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: winning twenty games. We don't know how about Otani's MVP chances.

99
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: I still think he's I think he's the favorite to

100
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: win it. He'll still remain the favorite to win it.

101
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: He's dominating. It's theoretically possible to somebody jumping and jumping

102
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: Otani because of this UCL injury, like maybe a Kyler

103
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: Tucker from Houston. But it's a long shot because there's

104
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: really no precedent for a player, even on a bad team,

105
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: to win the MVP just because he his his season's

106
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: gotten cut short right without, let you know, bump to go.

107
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: This is also a rough deal for Major League Baseball

108
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: in general and Major League fans. I believe Rob Manfred.

109
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: You know, he's probably not going to sleep well tonight.

110
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: He I mean, look what a Towani he's done for

111
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: the game. It's no fun when any good player gets

112
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: bad news, much less when you've got an international superstar,

113
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: transcendent player that you see once a century, who's hit

114
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy one home runs in past three seasons. Hope,

115
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: by the way, in the past three seasons, struck out

116
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty two batters. Babe Ruth never won

117
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: struck out more than three batters in a season that

118
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: he hit thirty homers. That's true. This is what's making

119
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: what was Tani's doing so incredible. He's doing them both

120
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: at the same time. I get it, Ruth. You know

121
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: he won one hundred games, he had a microscopic and

122
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: ari in the World Series, But when he stopped pitching

123
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: and started hitting, he didn't do both at the same time. Well,

124
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: Tani forty four home runs this year, and you know,

125
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: had he not got hurt, hypothetically, theoretically he had a

126
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: shot at hitting sixty sixty one, sixty two, No, two

127
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: ways about it. It also raises another question, what about

128
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: the future of two way stars. Now, this is nothing new.

129
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: If you're a baseball fan or a start, you'll remember

130
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Brook's keishnik out of the University of Texas. He hit

131
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: and he pitched, and he got to the big leagues

132
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: with the Cubs. I think he did a little of both.

133
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: The only this has been tried before, This was done

134
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: when I was in college. No one can do it.

135
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: That's why it's not done. Not because no one thought

136
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: of it or no one's tried it. No one can

137
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: do it, much less do it the way show Hail

138
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: Tani's doing it. So we've got a fair question. Now,

139
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: does this put a damper on the future even if

140
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: you have a player like Otani who can do this?

141
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Did you know that in the recent Major League Baseball Draft,

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: which was around July fourth, there were eight players drafted

143
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: this year that were actually two way prospects, including a

144
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: guy named Bryce Eldridge who's already been labeled quote the

145
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: American Otani. He was the sixteenth overall pick by the

146
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants. Giants also took another guy last year

147
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: named Reggie Crawford. He's also a two way player because Pete. Look,

148
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: people have said, if shohey Otani can do it, why

149
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: don't we find out if someone else can. Again, we're

150
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: not reinventing the wheel here. They've tried this, people have

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: tried it. It's obvious Otani could do it, but it's

152
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: even he's human. This is his second arm injury now,

153
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: and I understand he's had armed fatigue all year. And

154
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: you know he got to the United States in twenty sixteen.

155
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Take a year or two after that deal in sixty minutes,

156
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: but twenty sixteen was his only season as a full

157
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: time hitting and pitching star in Japan. He was not

158
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: able to replicate that when he got to the US

159
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: in twenty one or twenty two, and he could even

160
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: make it to the end of twenty eighteen. So in

161
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: fairness also he calls to attention how you know, even

162
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth was truly never a full time two way

163
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: star because he was a great pitcher and then a

164
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: great hit. So I don't know what this does to

165
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: the future of this Now, in the evento Tony does

166
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: go a second or undergo a second Tommy John surgery,

167
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: teams will have every right to treat his pitching arm

168
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: as well toxic. You just don't know what you're getting.

169
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: He would join a list of pictures that I mean

170
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: a short list of pictures who've had Tommy John surgeries,

171
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: and none of them really had success. Maybe you could

172
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: say Jameson Talon with the Chicago Cubs. He ended up

173
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: getting a sixty eight million dollars deal, but if you've

174
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: noticed his CIRA, it's just under six. So look, sports

175
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: come at you fast, the storylines come at you fast.

176
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: We've got an absolute jam packs children night. We're gonna

177
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: get to everything. But the Otani thing hits hard because

178
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: it's been a feel good story and unfortunately. As a

179
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: bart Giamati once said, the game is designed to break

180

Speaker 1: your heart. Coming up at a few minutes, Ralph michaels,

217
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Wager talk Ralph.

218
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: Oh are you buddy, Bernie. I didn't know people were

219
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: awake this time of the night, but pleasure to be

220
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 3: on and whenever I am up, I always enjoy listening

221
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: to your show.

222
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna take full blame, Ralph, I should have

223
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: had you on a long time ago. I take full blame.

224
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: And when you start talking the million plus listeners, we

225
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: do have across six hundred billions around the country in

226
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: serious sex, im eighty three are going to know exactly why.

227
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: And before I dive heavily into the great data, you

228
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: have quick question, Ralph. There's a new rule in college football.

229
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: They're not going to stop the clock on first down

230
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: until two minutes before the half and two minutes in

231
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. In fact, any substantive change with respect

232
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: to totals or markets in line setting.

233
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 3: You know, I've talked to a few guys that I respect,

234
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 3: and we really thought it might be a an eight

235
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: to ten percent change on the totals early. We'll see

236
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: how those adjustments go. Vegas didn't make those adjustments. I

237
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: did not jump on any week one unders because of that.

238
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: But in my mind that would be the max about

239
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: an eight percent, which seems pretty high, But I think

240
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: the eight percent applies more to running teams, those teams

241
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: that can grind out those first downs. The past teams

242
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: are still going to move at their same pace, They're

243
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: still going to get out of bounds, they're still going

244
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: to reset their lineup. So perhaps the teams, the option teams,

245
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 3: the run heavy teams, we may see lower totals as

246
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: the season progresses.

247
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, we have to wait and see how

248
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: it plays out, all right. One of the great things

249
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: Ralph Michaels does. Anybody can get on the air and

250
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: give picks, but Rolf is superb and sharing with folks

251
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: some of the things experts do as they prepared and

252
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: how they analyze data. And ralf we're always talking about

253
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: in college football, how many returning starters. There's returning starters,

254
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: there's returning production. And interestingly enough, you have a rather

255
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: unique approach with respect to how you evaluate returning starters.

256
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: Let me just run down some of the top returning

257
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: starting teams this year. The season's going to start. You

258
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: probably know these teams. I just want to run down

259
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: and then show some differences. South Alabama the only team

260
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: that returns eighteen starters this year, Kansas Miami of Ohio

261
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: returned seventeen. There are about ten or twelve teams that

262
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: return sixteen starters, so very healthy amounts. On the flip side,

263
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: of course, if you don't know Colorado's only returning three

264
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 3: starters by now, you're not a college football fan. Kent

265
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: State has five, Cincinnati and Stanford and UAB all have six,

266
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: and then E Carolina, Indiana and Texas State have seven.

267
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: There's a slew that have eight and nine. But that

268
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: gives you the top and the bottom of those. The

269
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,359
Speaker 3: one thing I want to point out the most important

270
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: factor for those at the top of the list and

271
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: those at the bottom of.

272
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: This I go right to the O line.

273
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: The O line every coach will tell you takes the

274
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: longest period of time to gel, takes the longest adjustment,

275
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: takes two or three years into the process to get

276
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: the wheels rolling where your backups can turn into starters.

277
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: And a couple teams I want to point out, Texas

278
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: A and M and Texas both return all five offensive linemen.

279
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: Kent State, UAB and Texas State all return zero returning

280
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: starters on the offensive line.

281
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: That's very interesting to know because there's a lotre on

282
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Texas this year, and I don't have faith in in

283
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkis and he's never won ten games. Would you

284
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: bring up a great point that returning starting lineup with

285
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: respect to the offensive line as he headed into Obama

286
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. Now, Ralph, you're one of

287
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: the few guys that does a great job of making

288
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: the distinction between not just returning starters, but returning production.

289
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: Talk about that for a minute.

290
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: The important thing to factor in, Bernie is this returning

291
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: starters is such a vague topic or a vague title.

292
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: And let me give you an example. Georgia played fifteen

293
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: games last year. You have five offensive linemen. The players

294
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: made seventy five starts. If you ask most people sitting

295
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: at a bar, how many starts does the player have

296
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: to make to be a returning starter, they're likely to

297
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: say six, maybe seven count as a returning starter. Well,

298
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: if you have seventy five starts and each player is

299
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: making six starts, you could potentially have twelve starters. So

300
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: if you lose three players that started fifteen games each,

301
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: but you have six players that start at seven games each,

302
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: does that give you six returning starters?

303
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 5: No?

304
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: I count returning starters a little differently. If there's a

305
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 3: full time starter, a number one receiving yards production player,

306
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 3: the number one running back. If they leave, it doesn't

307
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 3: matter who you have back. You have to count that

308
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: as a lost starter, so you have fewer returning starters

309
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: in that matter. I think returning production is so much

310
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 3: more important. Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, South Alabama, Missouri, Michigan,

311
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: and Yukon are on top of my list for returning

312
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: production that takes in the passyards, the rush yards, the

313
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: receiving yards, the O line play, the D line, linebacker.

314
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 4: And dB tackles.

315
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: At the bottom of the list, we of course have Colorado,

316
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: ten State, Old Dominion, uab Utah State, East Carolina, and Stanford,

317
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: although many of the one that jumps out because I

318
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: didn't list them on the fewest returning starters because they

319
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 3: have eight. But again when you look at their production there,

320
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: they don't have a quarterback, they only have forty three

321
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: percent of their offensive linement. They return forty nine percent

322
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 3: of their total tackles. So you put all those numbers in,

323
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: you know that's the team. I clearly have a few

324
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: arrows on the down on the downgrade four.

325
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: Talk with Ralph Michaels of Wager Talk. So, Ralph, great stuff.

326
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: What's interesting is in the inverse proportion, what you have

327
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: coming back in terms of starters and even production is important.

328
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: But what may even be more important is what you lost,

329
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: what you lost to graduation, what you lost to the draft,

330
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: et cetera. Talk about that distinction, Ralph, and how that

331
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: affects your approach.

332
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: You know, I completely look at what a team lost

333
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: more than what.

334
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: A team has.

335
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: That as I said, you can take offensive linemen and

336
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: wide receivers and for the most part always say you

337
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: have everybody back where you have four or five returning

338
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: starters on the offensive line, if you had a lot

339
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: of players make starts. I'm going to go back to

340
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 3: my Phil Stiel days and for those that don't know

341
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 3: North Coast Sports and Phil Stiel Publication at Phil Stiel

342
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: College Preview. I worked for Phil for about eighteen years.

343
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: I was the general manager of the last twelve years

344
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: when I've left, and in his magazine he has a

345
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: list of what all conference players are returning and what

346
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: all conference players are gone, And that's an important thing

347
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: to look at because a lost starter is not a

348
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: lost starter. You know, a person that just barely got by,

349
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: got beet out a few games is not the same

350
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 3: as losing an all conference player. And I also do

351
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 3: a draft guy each week, now, excuse me, each season

352
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 3: after the draft, and what I do is we know

353
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: a first round player is not the same as an

354
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 3: eight a seventh round player in the draft. So I

355
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: give a points system. Eight points for the first round,

356
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: seven for the second, sixth for the third, and five, four, three, two,

357
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 3: one all the way down. So you look at what

358
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 3: a team lost to the draft. And obviously, like anything,

359
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: if you're in high school and you lose a five

360
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: star recruit to college, it's going to be tough to replace.

361
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: If you're in college and you lose a first round

362
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 3: draft choice to the NFL, it's going to be tough

363
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 3: to replace. If you're in the NFL and you lose

364
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame player, it's much tougher to replace.

365
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 4: So I just want to run down the quick list.

366
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: Of what teams lost last year. Alabama and Georgia each

367
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 3: had ten players drafted in the NFL draft, but Alabama

368
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: had two first round, a second round, and four third

369
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: round players. So in my system, they actually lose forty

370
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: seven points. Georgia lost thirty eight, So you see the

371
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: significant of what those two have to replace. Ohio State

372
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: lost thirty, Michigan twenty seven. Florida, a team that only

373
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: went six and seven, lost twenty four points. That's a

374
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: big concern TCU. Of course, they're not used to sending

375
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: eight players to the NFL, so them losing eight players

376
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: to the draft is a huge dropoff. Next is Iowa

377
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 3: with twenty three points. Tennessee, Clemson, Penn State. Illinois is

378
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: another one that jumps out that normally doesn't lose nineteen

379
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: points in the draft rankings to those teams.

380
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 4: So look at how.

381
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: Many all conference players are back, look at how many

382
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: all conference players are returning, and actually look at those

383
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: studs that you lost in the NFL draft and where

384
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: did they rate in that draft system.

385
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: Just getting started with Ralph Michaels here coming up, Raffell

386
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: dive into poweringings strength to schedule, some more betting data,

387
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: and then, of course before we let her off go tonight,

388
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: he'll share with you a couple of bets. He's maybe

389
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: even a couple of futures. But first let's go to

390
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: our guy, Kevin figures with the latest.

391
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 6: Okay, Bernie will start in Major League Baseball from Friday night,

392
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 6: Arizona out slugging Cincinnati ten to eight. That's six straight

393
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 6: wins for the d Backs. They now have a half

394
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 6: game lead over the Cubs for the second NL at

395
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: wildcard spot. Shytown did lose to the Pirates two to one. Earlier,

396
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: Spencer Strider picked up his fifteenth win of the season Brads,

397
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 6: beating the Giants five to one. It was Seattle seven

398
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 6: and the Royals five. As the Mariners have won nine

399
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 6: of their last ten twins, handed the Rangers their eighth

400
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 6: consecutive loss. Twelve to two was the final score there.

401
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 6: Milwaukee beat You Darbish and the Padres seven to three,

402
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 6: six straight wins there for the Brewers. Dodgers have won

403
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 6: five of their last six. After they beat the Red

404
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 6: Sox in Boston. In the NFL forty nine, Ers traded

405
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 6: quarterback Trey Lenz to the Cowboys for a fourth round pick.

406
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 6: The Niners lost their preseason matchups to the Chargers twenty

407
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 6: three to twelve. Brock Party five of nine, passing for

408
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 6: seventy three yards and limited action for San Francisco.

409
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 7: Bryce she Young thro.

410
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 6: A touchdown pass for Carolina, but it was a Lion's

411
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 6: picking up a twenty six to seventeen victory, and you

412
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 6: at Tennessee being the Patriots twenty three to seven.

413
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: Back to Bernie Frida.

414
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Kevin. We keep it rolling right along

415
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: with Ralph Michaels. Fascinating high hopes for Penn State this

416
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: year and obviously the Big Tenson Conference are very plugged

417
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: into and I believe ralf they're a top five ranked

418
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: team preseason. Where do you have them in your power

419
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: ratings and talk about some of the highlights of your

420
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: top ten power ratings this year?

421
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: Well, I have Penn State.

422
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: Let's see if I can count real quick, two, four

423
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: to six.

424
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: I have them eight, Okay.

425
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: I obviously have George on top with most teams. I

426
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: have Michigan and Ohio State at the same mark. I

427
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: have them, followed by Alabama, LSU. I have Florida State

428
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: higher than most, and then Texas, Penn State, USC, Clemson

429
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: or and Tennessee. Now, when you're looking at those teams,

430
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 3: one interesting thing I do in my college football guide

431
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: is I do the average line per game. I take

432
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: each team's power rating, I project out the entire season

433
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: with a schedule. I put in the home field edge,

434
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: so it gives you what each team, how many times

435
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: each team is going to be favored, how many times

436
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: they're going to be between the threes, and how many

437
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 3: times they are going to be a dog of three

438
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: and a half or more. And I also use an

439
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 3: average line. Now, let me tell you the top team

440
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: in the country, Georgia. Their average line this season in

441
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 3: a game. I have them at minus twenty eight point

442
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: eight points per game. So it's pretty hard not to

443
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 3: run the table if your average line is a twenty

444
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: nine point favorite in your twelve game schedule.

445
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: Obviously they don't face.

446
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 3: Alabama, they would face them in the SEC Championship. But

447
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 3: when you come down to a team like Tech Texas

448
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: plays a very difficult schedule. Their average line, despite being

449
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: a top eight power rated team in mind, is only

450
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: minus fourteen point one points per game. That ranks number fourteen.

451
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 3: Kinnes see another team that I have very high in

452
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 3: my top twelve, but to their average line almost minus

453
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 3: thirteen point three. That's actually a small number when you're

454
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 3: that high of a power rated team. So people may say,

455
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: who do I think is the best team that is Georgia, Michigan,

456
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: Ohio State. When I say who do you think has

457
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 3: the best chance to run the table, you actually have

458
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 3: to make those distinctions based on the schedule. Obviously, Ohio

459
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 3: State and Michigan play each other. On the bottom of

460
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: the list, people love talking about the top To me,

461
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: I think it's more important to know who those bottom

462
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: featers are because when college football linemakers are making the line,

463
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 3: you never really know how could the first team is.

464
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: You know, you know the difference between two and three,

465
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: you know the difference between two and ten, But you

466
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: never really know how good you have to make the

467
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: top team because you're basing a line on what the

468
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: power rating, what the public is betting, not what the

469
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 3: power rating is. Many times that happens on the back

470
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: end too. If people see a line of forty points,

471
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: even though they should be a forty five point favorite,

472
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: you sometimes get value fading those bad teams because the

473
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 3: Vegas bookmakers or the national book makers now at this

474
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: point don't need to make the line where it is

475
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 3: the bottom of the barrel. For me, it is the

476
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: power rating numbers. Arkansas State Bowl and Green Charlotte, Texas State,

477
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 3: Sam Houston, those are the teams. The worst team as

478
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: far as average line goes, and it makes total sense

479
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: is Massachusetts because when you're a MAC team, or you're

480
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: a Sunbelt team or CUSA teams, that average line gets

481
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 3: flattened out because of your conference play. UMass as an independent,

482
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: doesn't have a bunch of.

483
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 4: Those easy or playing.

484
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 3: Lesser conference opponents, so their average line this year is

485
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: plus fourteen point five points per game.

486
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up you Mass. They're catching seven

487
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: at New Mexico State. I believe they've attracted a lot

488
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: of professional action. But the send off line was ten.

489
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: Is there still value on you Mass?

490
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 4: Saturday?

491
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: Ralph, Well, I wouldn't bet it, but if you asked

492
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 3: me which side I was going to play, I still

493
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: would be betting the U side.

494
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: You excuse me, the UMass side.

495
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: So that's sort of a double edged sword, you know,

496
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: is their value?

497
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: No, would I vet it?

498
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: No, But if I had to pick a side, it

499
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: would still be that. You know, New Mexico State is

500
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 3: a team that doesn't deserve to be a double digit favorite,

501
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: even a touchdown favorite at this time. So again, when

502
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: when you have a team like U Mass going through

503
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 3: the progressions they are, I would tend to lean with

504
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: them in.

505
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 4: This role, all right.

506
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Talking with Ralph Michaels Wager talk great job laying out

507
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: power ratings and top ten, bottom ten JUXTA polls that

508
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: against strength to schedule. You mentioned Michigan, I've got a

509
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: real beef with the cake schedule they have. They've got

510
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: two games I believe, at home against Ohiose State and

511
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: at Penn State. Who do you believe has the toughest

512
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: schedules in the country and the easiest schedules of the country.

513
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: When you sort of when you sort of boil it

514
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: down to those folks on the short list of somebody

515
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: who could be a potential playoff team.

516
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: Well, again, basically, there's no secret formula for my strength

517
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: to schedule. As I said in my College Football Guide,

518
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 3: I have the schedule for every team listed out with

519
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: the average line. So when I'm taking the strength of schedule,

520
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 3: it's basically the twelve teams you're going to play, the

521
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 3: average power rating for those.

522
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 4: Teams, the home.

523
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: Field edge brought in, so you look at the toughest

524
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: schedules and it is excuse me, one second, South Carolina

525
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: clearly the number one Florida the number two. Alabama's a

526
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: surprised because with Alabama's non conference schedule they get up

527
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: to number three. Now, of course those are all SEC

528
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: teams and old misses. Number five, number four is going

529
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: to be in trouble this year. Michigan State has the

530
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: fourth office schedule with their program perdue number six, PU seven,

531
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: Missouri eight, Utah nine. Now, Missouri is the team that

532
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: everyone seems to be betting over the total. I don't

533
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: tend to disagree. Utah is a team that I clearly

534
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: like to fade as well. I think they're an underproposition

535
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: year to date. We talked about Texas earlier for a

536
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 3: minute there. Texas does have the number ten schedule, so

537
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 3: you know, you break that out and and it's and

538
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: it's a situation where I like Alabama this year. I said,

539
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 3: even though they were number one in the NFL Draft,

540
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: they're a team that knows how to reload. There's a

541
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: difference of teams that return five or six starters like Alabama,

542
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: Georgia and Ohio State that are just mills of bringing

543
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 3: in five star talent and know how to recruit talent

544
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: to fill in their slots. But the biggest losses for me,

545
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: the biggest underplays in this situation.

546
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 4: Utah under the total.

547
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: I like Missouri over the total, and I do like

548
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: Alabama as well. Rob.

549
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: Before we dive into a couple of futures, other plays

550
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: on the future places you might have maybe a week

551
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: zero play in a Week one play. I want to

552
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: ask you about a specific game. USC is laying thirty one.

553
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: I believe it's the latest line I've seen to San

554
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: Jose State. Lincoln Riley has been pretty much money Week

555
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: one the last six years, averaging by one of averaging

556
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: by winning by an average margin for about thirty six

557
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: thirty seven points. However, I can't pull the trigger on

558
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: this game because of USC's defense. Do you have a

559
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: thought on the side of that game and if you're

560
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: going to be.

561
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: Involved, I am not going to be involved, but there

562
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: is clearly a side I.

563
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: Do like USC.

564
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: So Bernie, I didn't mention I was going to talk

565
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: about this, but I did a segment on wager Talk today, Okay,

566
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: And I think it's important to know what history has

567
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: shown US Week won college football favorites Game number one

568
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: have covered fifty four point three percent. That's a pretty

569
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: nice margin. Week won away favorite since twenty eighteen have

570
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: covered forty four point eight percent, So positives for home favorite,

571
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: negative for a way favorites and oeah. By the way,

572
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 3: I'm a Stanton Shark guy. Over under since twenty and

573
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: eighteen have gone forty four point eight percent to the

574
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: to the over, so they've gone fifty five point two

575
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: percent to the under. Now we're not going to base

576
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: a play on that, but I also looked at charts

577
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: for game one big favorites.

578
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: Since twenty eighteen.

579
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 3: Game one college football double digit favorites fifty eight point

580
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: four percent, favorites of seventeen or higher, fifty six point

581
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 3: one percent, favorites of twenty four or higher, fifty five

582
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: point three percent, favorites of thirty or higher fifty five

583
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: point four percent. One caveat I did, and I did

584
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 3: post this on Twitter on my Twitter account atkal sports ov,

585
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 3: so you could check out this chart. When an FBS

586
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: team is playing an SBS team in game number one,

587
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: if they're a double digit favorite, they've covered sixty four percent.

588
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: If they're a thirty point favorite like Ohio State, excuse me,

589
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: like USC, they've covered sixty eight point two percent against

590
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 3: the spread. That's just an astronomical number for me. So

591
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 3: when you're playing an FCS team and you're a forty

592
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 3: five point favorite, you're going to bring in your twos,

593
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: You're going to bring in your threes, and how excited

594
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: at those players. When an FBS team like USC is

595
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 3: playing an FBS team like San Jose State, there seems

596
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 3: to be more focused. Perhaps you're playing your ones in

597
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 3: your twos a little bit longer, and perhaps the win

598
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: means a little bit more for the public eye. With

599
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: that said, I am a big proponent of playing those

600
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: big favorites in the first half. When I broke down

601
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: the numbers for the last five years, when a thirty

602
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: point favorite is laying twenty one or less in the

603
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: first half, they've been a more positive expectation ev than

604
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 3: they are for the full game. So I do like USC.

605
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 3: I would clearly play them first half in this role,

606
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: as I do think the offense gets out quick enough.

607
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: I do think the defense has enough of an upgrade

608
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: to keep San Jose State in Bay at least to

609
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: start this season.

610
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 4: Even with Chevron Corder.

611
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: Ralph, I knew this would happen. You hold a nation

612
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: captive with the wealth of information you have. Unfortunately, I

613
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: just got about a minute. So tell the folks a

614
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: game maybe you've already fired on for Saturday, and tell

615
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: the folks where they can find your good material.

616
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm not one to force action. I passed on Saturday. Okay,

617
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: I have a clear lean with Vanderbilt. I think they

618
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: carry take care of business. Two of my top props

619
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 3: Louis Tho over the season total and my top season

620
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: prop Toledo to win their division.

621
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: In the MAC and I believe Vanderbilt is seventeen and

622
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: a half over Hawaii. If this is which is the

623
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: last I saw, tell the folks where they can find

624
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: your stuff.

625
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: Ralph, Well, the one thing I ask is this, don't

Speaker 3: spend a penny. Head to wager talk dot com. Go

698
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: see you get on the field, and when you get

699
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: on the field, make something happen while you're on the field.

700
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: My teethitche every time I hear somebody say, well, he

701
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: didn't get to play that much football, Well, what did

702
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: he do when he was on the field that made

703
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: you believe that he would live up to the hype?

704
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: I know the game he started that he got hurt in.

705
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Kyle Shanahan was running the nineteen oh

706
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: six single wing offense. Didn't let him do anything. And

707
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: I hate to say, Look, there are objective truths and

708
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: there are personal feelings, and you're allowed to have personal feelings.

709
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: Because Trey Lance is very likable. He was also going

710
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: to be QB four, not QB three. He would have

711
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: been QB four behind Brandon. Remember, Jimmy G, he was

712
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: just a game manager. Toss him to the side. He's

713
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: no good, gets hurt all time. Yeah, sure, with Jimmy

714
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: G laughing at now, who's starting for the Raiders when

715
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of his games got to the Super Bowl.

716
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: But he was only a game manager. Trey Lance was

717
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: a game breaker. But it was all theoretical, all theoretical.

718
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: He was supposed to be the starting quarterback for the

719
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: forty nine ers for a long time. In theory, he's

720
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: gone and they got a fourth rounder. And what do

721
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: they have to do to get him? Well, you know,

722
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: they got three first rounders. Or check that the forty

723
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: nine ers traded three first rounders to the Dolphins, so

724
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: they can move up to get Trey Lance two years

725
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: ago and Miami, what do they do. They packaged the

726
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: twenty one pick to get Jalen Waddell, They packaged the

727
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: twenty two pick to the Chiefs for Tyreek Hill, and

728
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: they packaged the twenty three pick to the Broncos for

729
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb. So look, if John Lynch is telling the

730
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: truth and Trey Lance's story is yet written, not yet written,

731
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: and he's got a bright future, good, let's see it.

732
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: Let's see it. I think it would be a great

733
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: story to see him land somewhere else and do what

734
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: they hoped he was going to do in San Francisco.

00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, appearances.

816
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the New York Giants.

817
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you were gonna say it. It's actually

818
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Remember the Patriots got it in

819
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: eighty six when they lost to the Bears forty six

820
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: to ten. Then they got in again in ninety seven

821
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: when the host of Brett Farre's only one, and then

822
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: all those appearances with Tom Brady. Remember he didn't win

823
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: them all. He won six and I think he lost three,

824
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: so eleven appearances. But you knew it. Good question that shake?

825
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Donal, thinking of championships included not.

826
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: Just just appearances, just appearances. He did make that clear,

827
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: he did. So.

828
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 11: The Jets are taking on the Giants in the preseason

829
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 11: super Bowl. The over under a set at thirty nine.

830
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 11: What are you guys taking?

831
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take the under because they just don't see

832
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 6: Dave All playing the starters.

833
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 4: Verry Long and I think I think.

834
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 6: That Aaron's gonna play maybe two sets.

835
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: The most Yeah, I like the under two. As a

836
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: matter of fact, professional moneys come in on the under.

837
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: It's not down to thirty eight and a half, So

838
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: thirty nine is a nice number you're giving us there,

839
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: Uh shay. And oh, by the way, not for nothing.

840
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: The Hard Knocks entrant every year three and fourteen against

841

998
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: where Brady Quinn is. From Dublin, Ireland, where Brady Quinn

999
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: is right now follow along. You made it. That wasn't

1000
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: so bad? Was it?

1001
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 5: So?

1002
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: Now? We get to follow what I believe are the

1003
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: biggest storylines, not the least of which. Can Georgia threepeat? Yes,

1004
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: Georgia is going for a threepeat. It's been done once

1005
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: in the history of college football, back in the fifties,

1006
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: the University in Minnesota. Yeah, and pressure your friends over

1007
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: the water cooler with that one. The University of Minnesota

1008
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: the only team to three peat. They did it back

1009
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: in the fitties. Now Georgia has a chance to do

1010
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: something that I will tell you. Actually, Minnesota did it

1011
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: in the thirties. Forgive me the three straight National Tires

1012
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: titles thirty four to thirty six. Georgia can do it,

1013
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: but they still have to. Okay, they haven't done it yet.

1014
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: You heard Roth Michaels. They're going to be prohibitive favorites

1015
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: in every one of their games and even when they

1016
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: get to the most likely which they will I believe,

1017
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:38,479
Speaker 1: to the SEC Championship game. But the Bulldogs lost ten

1018
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: count of ten more players to the NFL Draft last season,

1019
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: and big ones Jalen Carter, who's already making a name

1020
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: for himself in Philadelphia. Their offensive tackle Broderick Jones, another

1021
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: pass rusher also making a name for himself in Philadelphia.

1022
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith, all first rounders. Stetson Bennett. He was a

1023
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: fourth rounder, but he's looked pretty good in preseason, and

1024
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: I think he has a rule in the NFL. I

1025
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: see a lot in him now. Carson Beck who is

1026
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett. It's a backup last fall, but he's want

1027
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: the starting job. The good news is he inherits a

1028
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: stellar offensive line and a very deep, talented group of

1029
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: receivers and pass catchers. Remember brock Bowers, he can start

1030
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now for multiple teams. He's back.

1031
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: He's a tight end. He's worth a price of admission.

1032
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on him, Brock Bowers. The defense, by

1033
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: the way, absolutely loaded again. Mickel Williams up front, Jamal Dumas, Johnson,

1034
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 1: he's their stud linebacker, Malache Starks, Javon Bullard, Kamar Lassiter.

1035
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: They formed what might be the best secondary in college football.

1036
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: Even though Georgia has lost so much, they've still got

1037
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: so much talent on the roster and again a very

1038
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: favorable schedule. The truth of the matter is the table

1039
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: is set for Georgia to do it again. I don't

1040
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: know that I'm predicting it, but I wouldn't go against them.

1041
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: Michigan can't beat them. Ohio State had them on the ropes,

1042
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: but they couldn't close them. So don't have to navigate

1043
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: through a brutal SEC this year. But they've done it

1044
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 1: before again. I think that's the number one storyline because

1045
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: they're trying to do something has been done in ninety years,

1046
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: and that's the repeat. Remember the Pac twelve, they're now

1047
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: the Pack four. Well actually that's not true. They're still

1048
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve. But this is their swan song. This

1049
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: is it, this is it. And one of the great

1050
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: storylines coming out of the PAC twelve soon to be

1051
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: the Pack four is the USC Trojans because they return

1052
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy winner, their quarterback Caleb Williams, who happens

1053
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: to be the preseason favorite, and USC is the preseason favorite.

1054
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: I head of Washington, Utah Oregon. SC's look, they got

1055
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: a stacked offense and they've they've made some additions through

1056
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: the transfer portal on their defense, which was not great

1057
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: last year. So we shall see how that works. Because

1058
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: if SC can put any kind of defense on the

1059
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: field to match that offense, there's no reason they shouldn't

1060
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: be a playoff team buying something unforeseen or an unfortunate injury. Now, Utah,

1061
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: I remember, SE's on their way to the Big ten

1062
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: after twenty twenty three, Utah, they're on their way to

1063
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. Put some respect on Utah's name. I

1064
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: don't know why people don't. They're actually the two time

1065
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: defending Pac twelve champion. And yes they have a veteran

1066
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: quarterback and Cam Rising, but he is coming back from

1067
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: a torn acl But the Utes, the two Utes could

1068
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: also have the best offensive and defensive lines combined in

1069
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: the conference. Flat out, Utah has gotten it done. Man Now, Ucla,

1070
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: in theory, should be very dangerous on offense, even though

1071
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: they're breaking in a new quarterback could be a five

1072
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: star freshman named Dante More And Oregon State they're coming

1073
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: off a ten win season. Now the question. The question

1074
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: here in terms of the storyline, has can the Pac

1075
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: twelve in their college football playoff drought? They haven't had

1076
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: an entrant in the College Football Playoff since twenty sixteen.

1077
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: At the very least, there should be a good conference

1078
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 1: race Uscucla, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington. They play very good

1079
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: football in the Pac twelve's not like it used to

1080
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: be back in the day. But it's funny how when

1081
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: you put them on the field with other power of

1082
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: five schools, how well they do. Remember Oregon just went

1083
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: into Ohio State a couple of years ago and pushed

1084
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: them around pretty well. Right, So look, I realized they

1085
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: also had trouble against Georgia. I'm not mixed up and

1086
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: had trouble against Auburn. But irrespective of that, I think

1087
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: you'll see a competitive athletic Pac twelve. Now there's a

1088
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: team that it's become a I won't use the term

1089
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: running joke because that's not fair, but there's been this

1090
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: group think echo chamber statement that they've been trying to

1091
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: blurt out for the better part of a decade. Now,

1092
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: is Texas back? Some people say Texas is back? I say,

1093
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: is Texas back? Remember as loaded as they are, and

1094
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: they are, they got athletes on both sides of the ball.

1095
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: And when quinn Ewrs is right, he's right. But I

1096
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: don't really have a hell of a lot of faith

1097
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: in Steve Sarkisian. He's never won ten games. So they'll

1098
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: have a real acid test at Alabama, I think week two.

1099
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: So the question is not as Texas back, which is well,

1100
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: of course that's a question. But can Texas win this

1101
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: new Big twelve? Because remember they're on their way to

1102
00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: the SEC. But you forgot that, all right. This is

1103
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: the first two years of transition for the Big Twelve.

1104
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: It's the final season with Oklahoma and Texas, additionally BYU Cincinnati, Houston,

1105
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: and Central Florida. They're all playing their first seasons in

1106
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: the new Big Twelve. The next year Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado,

1107
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: and Utah will join the Big twelve Oklahoma and Texas

1108
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Gonzo they depart for the SEC. So can Texas win

1109
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: this new look Big twelve before they head to the SEC? Yeah?

1110
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: The times they are change in Utah is on the

1111
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: way to the Big twelve, Texas on the way to

1112
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the SEC, USC on their way to the Big Ten.

1113
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: If you can follow all that, you're better than me,

1114
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: all right. So for the twenty twenty three season only,

1115
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: the Big twelve will actually be the Big fourteen. That

1116
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: figures to be a little competitive. I believe it'll be

1117
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: very competitive. Texan is Texas is the media Darlin. They're

1118
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: the preseason pick to win the league, clearly one of

1119
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the most talented rosters in the country. But stop me

1120
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: if you've heard that before. They routinely fail to live

1121
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: up to expectations. So the third question around Texans. Can

1122
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: the Longhorns win their first Big twelve title since twenty

1123
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: oh nine. That's back when they had Colt McCoy played

1124
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: the championship game January twenty ten and the Rose Bowl

1125
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: lost Alabama. Colt McCoy got hurt. Now, Texas finished third

1126
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: last year behind Kansas State and TCU. TCU was a

1127
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: perfect twelve and zero in the regular season. They failed

1128
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: to Kansas State in the Big Twelve title game, but

1129
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: they rebounded. They beat Michigan, They outgained him, they got

1130
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: a couple of pick sixes. I think they very much

1131
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: bothered Michigan with their speed. I'll take that to my grave.

1132
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: And TCU unfortunately ran into Georgia. But you know what

1133
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: happened there. We're talking about Oklahoma. We're talking about Texas.

1134
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win the Big Twelve. Oklahoma, by the way,

1135
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: coming off its first losing season since nineteen ninety eight,

1136
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: but they're expected to have a bounce back. As far

1137
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: as the rest of the teams in the Big twelve.

1138
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Don't ever go to sleep on Texas Tech. They're a contender,

1139
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: Baylor always loaded with athletes, and I think Oklahoma State

1140
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: is flying under the radar as well. So the top

1141
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 1: three storylines I'm following. Will Georgia get the three peat?

1142
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: The PAC twelve and their swan song, can usc with

1143
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: their Heisman Trophy winner get it done? And Texas? Is

1144
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Texas actually back? Can they win the Can they actually

1145
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: win this new look Big twelve before they head to

1146
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: the SEC? Now, there are three other storylines, one involving

1147
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: the ACC, one involving a certain structure, and one involving

1148
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: a certain coach. No shortage of storylines and we're gonna

1149
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: bring them all to you coming up. But first let's

1150
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: go back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest

1151
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: all Right and Bernie.

1152
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball on Friday night, Spencer Streider struck out

1153
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 6: nine and seven innings of work, leading Atlanta to a

1154
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 6: five to one victory. In San Francisco. The Mariners defeated

1155
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 6: at the Royals, while the Twins hammered Texas, so Seattle

1156
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 6: is now tied with the Rangers for the Al West lead.

1157
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 6: Dodgers defeated Boston seven to four. Arizona won at six

1158
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 6: in a row with a ten to eight victory over Cincinnati.

1159
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 6: You had victories for the Brewers, Phillies, and Baltimore. An

1160
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 6: NFL preseason, The Chargers defeated the forty nine Ers twenty

1161
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 6: three to twelve. San Francisco traded quarterback Trey Lance to

1162
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,479
Speaker 6: Dallas for a fourth round pick. Bryce Young was seven

1163
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 6: of twelve passing for seventy three yards and a touchdown

1164
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 6: to Adam Thielen and a loss to Detroit. Ma Leak

1165
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 6: Willis took the bulk of the snaps for the Titans.

1166
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 6: He threw two touchdown passes and two interceptions in a

1167
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 6: twenty three to seven victory over New England and a

1168
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 6: golf second round at the Tour Championship. Klin, Morricawa and

1169
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 6: Victor Hovlin tied atop the leaderboard at sixteen under Scottie

1170
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 6: Scheffler Is two shots off the lead back to Bernie Freddo.

1171
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Kevin, checking with you and Shaye about

1172
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: forty five minutes from now. I get your thoughts on

1173
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks episode three. All right, Florida State's been in

1174
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: the news a lot. They went out of the ACC

1175
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen. By the way, Saturday Night

1176
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Special guest Larry Sorenson, we're gonna talk about college football realignment.

1177
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Larry's to play by play color man for Wake Forest

1178
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: football and baseball, and all played in the Big Ten

1179
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: as well before ten years in the Major League. He's

1180
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: got a thing or two to say. It's very interesting

1181
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: thoughts and the Wake Forest perspective on college football realignment.

1182
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit more difficult on the

1183
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: student athlete than people realize. So as Florida looks to

1184
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: make their way out of the ACC because they want

1185
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: more TV money, could they overtake Clemson. Clemson's dominance in

1186
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the ACC with Dabbo was damn near automatic for about

1187
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: eight years. There Could that be coming to the end,

1188
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: because if it's coming to an end, it's Florida State

1189
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: or nobody else. All right, Clemson's won the ACC title

1190
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: seven of the past eight seasons, but I think they're

1191
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: in for a serious challenge from Florida State this year.

1192
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Now we'll see how Florida State looks against LSU. So

1193
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you're looking for revenge and I expect them to be

1194
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: much improved here too. Under their coach who has the

1195
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Southern accent. FSU did have a breakout ten win season

1196
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: last year, okay, and they returned a ton of talent,

1197
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: And then you heard Rolf Michaels talk about the importance

1198
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: of that. Not only that, the Florida State made upgrades

1199
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: at a lot of positions thanks to this new thing

1200
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: called a transfer portal. Now, Dabos Sweeney he's one of

1201
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: these holdouts. He kind of refuses to utilize the portal,

1202
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: even when there are position groups on his roster that

1203
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: maybe could use some help. However, Sweeney this year did

1204
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: finally relent and make a change to his coaching staff

1205
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: by hiring offensive coordinator Garrett Riley away from TCU. And

1206
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: you saw what an excellent, you know, offense TCU had

1207
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: last year. And I love their quarterback. So Clemson made

1208
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 1: six consecutive college football appearances between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty,

1209
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: they won two national championships, and then the last couple

1210
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: of seasons, Clemson they've not been anywhere near that standard,

1211
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: particularly on offense. Now, we'll see if kid Klubnik can

1212
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: live up to his hype. We'll see what Garrett Riley

1213
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: can do. Orchestrating that offense. You saw what he did

1214
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: for Max Doug and a TCU. Clemson finds himself in

1215
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: an interesting position. They're shooting for a resurgence. The question

1216
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 1: is can Florida State pull the rugout from under them?

1217
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 5: That?

1218
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: I believe the only team in the ACC they can

1219
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: do that. One of the other storylines this year is

1220
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: this is the last season, the final season of college

1221
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: football's fourteen playoff format beginning in twenty twenty four. Remember,

1222
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 1: college football is going to expand to twelve games, but

1223
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: the mechanism for selecting those twelve teams is now in flux.

1224
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: See when the twelve team format was originally improved, approved

1225
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: for twenty four to twenty five seasons, it was supposed

1226
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: to feature six automatic qualifiers and six at large teams.

1227
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: The automatic qualifiers would be the sixth highest ranked conference champions,

1228
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: presuming that that would be the five Power five champions

1229
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: and one top ranked champion from the group of five.

1230
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: But that could change now because the PAC twelve was

1231
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 1: on the verge of collapse. Right now, college football officials

1232
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: are weighing do we change the format for the twelve

1233
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: team playoff? Could it maybe drop to five automatic qualifiers

1234
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: and seven at large spots, or could there be no

1235
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: automatic qualifiers at all. These are questions that have been

1236
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: raised because it will ultimately effect, by the way, the

1237
01:07:55,520 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: distribution of revenue, and so the college football contract with

1238
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: the ESPN is up after the twenty twenty five season.

1239
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 1: That means the format could even change again completely in

1240
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. But again, let's not bury the lead.

1241
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: This is the final season where there will be the

1242
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: same old four team format, all right. I could have

1243
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: put this as a storyline first, but it's hard to

1244
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: do that when I think this team is only gonna

1245
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: win two or three games. Sorry, because I'm a big fan,

1246
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: but I don't bet with my heart. You get heart disease.

1247
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders is primetime in more ways than one, and

1248
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: he's turned Colorado into mussy TV. Now. They open up

1249
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:44,719
Speaker 1: a week from Saturday against the aforementioned TCU Horned Frogs

1250
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 1: and they're a twenty one point underdog. I don't expect

1251
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: Colorado to have a good year. Maybe they proved me wrong,

1252
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: all right, Remember Dion inherited a one win team. He

1253
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: completely turned over the roster in one offseason. You may

1254
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: man out have seen the spring game, and I think

1255
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: it's sold out. Well, I hope you didn't have a

1256
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: program because it's worthless because since the spring game. Since

1257
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: the Spring Game, thirty nine players have left the program.

1258
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Yes you heard that right, since the spring game. Now

1259
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: we are told the quality, the quality of the roster

1260
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: is massively improved, and you're gonna get to see him

1261
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: on national TV two straight games right out of the

1262
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: gate TCU Nebraska. So how many games, if the if

1263
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: the quality of the roster has really improved, which I

1264
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: will believe it has, how many games? You know, how

1265
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: many wins? Does that translate to? Now? They got pretty

1266
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: good skilled players from what I'm hearing, and you've got

1267
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: the stud Travis Hunter, a two way player, wide receiver,

1268
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: cornerback who had gone anywhere in the country and he

1269
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: went to a Jackson state, which for him personally thought

1270
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: was a good decision. He wanted to play for Dion,

1271
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: goout on an opportunity to develop under Dion, got all

1272
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: the national exposure you could ever want, right, you didn't

1273
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: have to go to Alabama again. It's I think it's

1274
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: worked out for him. I respect the decision he made,

1275
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: but I really think Colorado is gonna lack depth, and

1276
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: there's concerns because they do have a solid quarterback Deon

1277
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: sunshod Or Sanders, God forbid, for whatever reason, he has

1278
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: an issue where he can't play. Because I don't think

1279
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: they have I don't know what they have behind Shud

1280
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: or Sanders. There's major questions about this team's death on

1281
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and from a big from a bigger perspective,

1282
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: it's fair to wonder how you just simply put an

1283
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 1: entirely new team on the field, ask him to assimilate

1284
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: in a few weeks, and how well let translate to

1285
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: results on the field. All right. The one thing, though,

1286
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: is Dion Sanders coach prime has brought one hell of

1287
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: a lot of buzz to the program in his first

1288
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: year as head coach. Will that translate to a lot

1289
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 1: of wins? I don't think so, but you know, you

1290
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna be watching. By the way, way,

1291
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Dion is not the only new coach. You got new

1292
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: coaches at Auburn, Nebraska, Wisconsin. These are storylines. How are

1293
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 1: these guys gonna fare? How is Hugh Freeze gonna do

1294
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: at Auburn? Certainly he's got sec experience, but his tenured

1295
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: Old Miss flamed out, he had a bunch of controversies.

1296
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: He rebounded with a hell of a four year run

1297
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: at Liberty, and he's got a nice transfer class to

1298
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: Auburn's roster, which was not one of their best rosters

1299
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: last year. So Auburn coming off back to back losing seasons,

1300
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: how quickly can Hugh Freeze have them competing, maybe getting

1301
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: back into the upper echelon of the SEC. I think

1302
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze can coach I do. How about the Big

1303
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Ten Nebraska brought in Matt Rule. Matt Rule completely rebuilt

1304
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: Temple and he rebuilt Baylor before he had a little

1305
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: bit of a rough go in the NFL with the

1306
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Nebraska has not played in a bull game

1307
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:58,799
Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen. But the ability to grid that upgrade

1308
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: that roster through the portal, which I believe Ruled in,

1309
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: should pay some immediate dividends. Now what's the measuring stick

1310
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 1: in Nebraska? I think if they got to a ball game,

1311
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: that would be a significant building block for the corn Huskers. Now,

1312
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 1: one other Big Ten team of the new coaches was

1313
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: Concin Remember they fired Paul Chris last year. They hired

1314
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: Luke Fickel from Cincinnati who had a ton of success

1315
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati. Now, just by virtue of that hire a loan,

1316
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: expectations are very high in Madison. Fickel has brought some changes.

1317
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: He brought in Phil Longo as his offensive coordinator. Wisconsin's

1318
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: long been known as sort of this physical, plotting, run

1319
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: heavy offense. Well, phil Longo's background air raid guy. Think

1320
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: of you know Mike Leech, that type of air raid.

1321
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: So can you imagine was consin running an air raid

1322
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: offense with those linemen? It's can't tell me that's not

1323
01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:00,080
Speaker 1: going to be fun to watch. Finally, there are a

1324
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: couple of teams we're gonna have to see. These are

1325
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: proud college programs that have had success, that have had notoriety,

1326
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: that have had thirty four thirties made about them. The

1327
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: question is can they rebound? Coming up? I will share

1328
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: with you who those programs are, who those high profile

1329
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: programs are coming off tom tough seasons. Will they bounce back?

1330
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Can they rebound? We'll chop it up as we finalize

1331
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 1: are what I believe to be the top storylines for

1332
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 1: college football. And it all starts in a little over

1333
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: eleven hours. I want to remind everybody tonight show brought

1344
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: the hour. We're going to talk about Hard Knocks Episode three,

1345
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: kind of recap. I'm going to do my best to

1346
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 1: dissect Robert Salah's it was a little bit of a

1347
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: clunky speech about the four levels of being a competitor. Anyway,

1348
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying Hard Knocks. It's not great, but it you know,

1349
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: it's what we got. By the way, for those who

1350
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: have asked, Okay, so, Jim Harbaugh is the subject of

1351
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: a self imposed three game suspension by Michigan. Yeah, I

1352
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be rough slidon, you know, facing off

1353
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: against East Carolina UNLV and Bowling Green without Harborball there.

1354
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 1: But what Michigan decided to do was launch a preemptive

1355
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: The NCAA wants an apology, and he wanted admission that

1356
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: Harbball was not truthful. This is sort of Michigan's de

1357
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:06,919
Speaker 1: facto attempt to do that somewhat because I don't suspicion

1358
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: Harball will ever apologize. He's angry. My people tell me

1359
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: he's angry. Now, this goes back and whether or not

1360
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: he bought a kid a cheeseburger or not. We're telling

1361
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 1: me we're totally did. But it wasn't that. It was

1362
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: when the NCAA started to ask questions he wasntruthful, and

1363
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: he went from well, I don't remember doing it, so

1364
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: I didn't do it to whatever, and he's like, what

1365
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: are you picking on us for? We're a clean program.

1366
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 1: That's why we don't win because we don't cheat. And oh,

1367
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: by the way, he got way bigger fish to fry

1368
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 1: out there. Well, look, the NCAA. The longer Harball was

1369
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 1: obstinate and refused to cooperate. The NCAA Okay, fine, you

1370
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: want it, you want to do this. It's like Chess

1371
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: palmentary and the Bronx tail. When he locked the door

1372
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: and says, okay, now you just can't leave. They said,

1373
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: how about those how about those zoom calls? Okay, how

1374
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: about the the you know, the the recruiting violations, how

1375
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:01,799
Speaker 1: about the text messages and the practice violations during COVID

1376
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden he got a bunch of

1377
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: level one, level two violations. And when January rolls around,

1378
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: if Hardball leaves remembers Bounce only two point two million.

1379
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 1: You know he wants to go to the fel at

1380
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: some point and win a Super Bowl. It bugs him.

1381
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,679
Speaker 1: He lost to his brother, that's a fact. Well, you'll

1382
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 1: get suitors. And I know, as people have said, hey,

1383
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: look Sean Payton's fifty nine, Like what he got Jim

1384
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 1: Robots fifty nine? What can he get? We think he's

1385
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: a better coach than Sean Paige. He'll stay tuned. But

1386
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: that's why Michigan did what they did. All right, So Michigan,

1387
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: while looking to finish the job top credit. They'd beat

1388
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State two years in a row, got to the

1389
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: playoff two years in a row. We won't talk about

1390
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: what happened next. The fact is they got there. So

1391
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 1: can teams like Texas A and M who they would

1392
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 1: dearly love to get there. And Miami remember them, remember

1393
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 1: the U. Can they ever rebound? These are at one

1394
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: time high profile programs. Johnny Manziel, Johnny Football, Miami, Oh

1395
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: my goodness to you. Texas A and M into the

1396
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season ranked in the top ten, and

1397
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: they completely face planted. They finished five and seven. You

1398
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,560
Speaker 1: would assume based on their roster and what they're returning,

1399
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: they should be better this year, right Jimbo Fisher. I

1400
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: don't know that he wanted to, but he did. He

1401
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: fired our check that he hired Bobby Petrino. Talk amongst yourselves,

1402
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 1: but Bobby Patrino is, you know, has demonstrated his ability

1403
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: to put creative, dynamic offenses on the field. So if

1404
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: those two can coexist, Jimbo Fisher and Bobby Patrino, the

1405
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: Aggies should improve. They've got personnel. Their quarterback Connor Wegman,

1406
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: he's serviceable. He got an excellent receiver group Evan Stewart,

1407
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: Andy Smith. The Aggies also have a ton of promise

1408
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. They've got athletes, by the way

1409
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 1: in the SEC. Florida coming off consecutive six and seven seasons,

1410
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: first time the Gators have had a losing record in

1411
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: back to back seasons in four years. So second season

1412
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: under Billy Apier Kenny rebound Gators open up with a

1413
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: major challenge. They have to go to Utah this year.

1414
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: They nipped Utah last year with Anthony Richardson in Florida

1415
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: that great sunny in night game on Labor Day weekend.

1416
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: Miami another acc team coming off with disastrous five and

1417
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: seven record year one under Mario Christiball christa Ball got

1418
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: rid of both coordinators and he brought in a bunch

1419
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: of players in the transfer to bolster both sides of

1420
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: the ball. At the very least, you should at least

1421
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: see Miami back in a ball game. And then there's Oklahoma.

1422
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: We have to get Chris Plank on the show some night.

1423
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: They went six and seven in their first year under

1424
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Brenton Venables, the erstwhile star defensive coordinator at Clemson head

1425
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: coach at Oklahoma. Now six and seven. Before twenty twenty two,

1426
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 1: Oklahoma hadn't won fewer than eight games in twenty four

1427
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: years entering twenty twenty three. Well, Oklahoma's got a favorable

1428
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: schedule and they have designs on wanting to win a

1429
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: Big twelve title. So there you have it. So many

1430
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: storylines to follow. Oh yeah, what will Harbaugh do when

1431
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 1: o'hof state rolls around? We'll have to see and then

1432
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: they have to go two Penn State, Kent, Texas A

1433
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: and m rebound? Can Miami rebound? Ken? Florida rebound? Ken

1434
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: already said Miami Oklahoma can they rebound? Plenty of storylines

1435
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: in college football and it all starts in ten and

1436
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 1: a half hours. Don't tell me you can't wait. Coming up,

1437
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 1: we talk about Hard Knocks Episode three. Nothing special this year,

1438
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 1: but there are elements to every episode that are worth dissecting.

1439
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're Company Alive from Las Vegas, Fox

1448

1449
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:24,719
Speaker 1: Knocks is each year you look for maybe a team

1450
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,799
Speaker 1: or a coach or a player to so to separate

1451
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:32,879
Speaker 1: themselves apart from their competitors, apart from their fellow teammates

1452
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: in the locker room, other coaches. And I don't know

1453
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: that Robert Sala has done that. I like Robert Sala,

1454
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: but during the third episode of Hard Knocks with the Jets,

1455
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: Robert Sala takes time in this meeting to list quote

1456
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 1: the four levels of being a competitor, survivor, contender, competitor

1457
01:20:55,760 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: and commander. Now his belief that while most our survivors

1458
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: are contender, as Sala says, the level he wants all

1459
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 1: his players to beach is competitor. See he says, quote,

1460
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: A competitor is someone who is internally motivated to be

1461
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: the best, regardless of the situation. His place on the

1462
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: depth chart does not matter, money does not matter, fame

1463
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: does not matter. He's always trying to be his best. Absolutely,

1464
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: he can't be swayed because he's already maxing out his potential.

1465
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: This e F and dude is trying to pr everyday

1466
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: of life. He's got a championship mindset. Hmm. I like

1467
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: Robert Solo. Why do I feel like he's straining to

1468
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: be something he's not. The F bombs don't roll off

1469
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: his tongue. Trust me, I've been around people who can

1470
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,600
Speaker 1: give F bombs the best of them. Kevin and I

1471
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: had talked about the movie Harlem Night. It's just a beauty.

1472
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: It's a masterclass on F bombs. Robert Salad sounds clunky

1473
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: about F bombs, but there's something about that speech. I'm

1474
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: trying to process a key element of that speech because

1475
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 1: by the way, he even looks at Aaron Rodgers and says,

1476
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron, even after twenty years, you can learn

1477
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: something on this one. It's a good one. Dog. I

1478
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I'm waiting for that moment when the

1479
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: receiver runs the wrong route or drops an open pass,

1480
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: or it's going to be a nononomical response. Rogers said,

1481
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: he's not a SMARTSS anymore. People don't escape their nature

1482
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: that easily. And the Jets got a tough first six games,

1483
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: and I would you know, I'm not a fanboy, but

1484
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: I would love nothing better to see the Jets get

1485
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: back to the super Bowl. Seriously, and if they don't,

1486
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: they don't, But I root for the story, and there

1487
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: would be no bigger story. The Jets of the Lions

1488
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,560
Speaker 1: are the two teams. Okay. And at the end of

1489
01:22:58,600 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: the show, I'm going to tell you I think what

1490
01:22:59,880 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: I think. The lines are real. But you know again,

1491
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,480
Speaker 1: Salar reveals his four levels, and I think the content

1492
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 1: was meant to be inspiring. And what he's trying to do,

1493
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: Salas trying to do is hammer home the importance of

1494
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: intrinsic motivation. You know what I mean by that, You're

1495
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: just motivated without any external reasons. You're doing it because

1496
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: it's your duty and you want to and it's natural.

1497
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: And the only thing more valuable than reaching your potential

1498
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: is to help other people reach their contential. A potential,

1499
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, So, how can one level of a competitor

1500
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: be a competitor? And more confusingly, how can a competitor

1501
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: not be the top level of competitor? You can be

1502
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 1: more competitor the competitor. It got a little confusing, Okay,

1503
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,800
Speaker 1: And That's where when Salad does these things, it just

1504
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's really it's natural for him. He's

1505
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,719
Speaker 1: not a motivational speaker. I think he's a solid football man.

1506
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't really know. I don't really know if he's

1507
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: a head. I don't know. We're gonna find out. We're

1508
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: really gonna find out, because they're loaded, all right. And

1509
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: I thought that episode three moved kind of slow. It

1510
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 1: plotted and plotted, and there were mundane conversations and then

1511
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, boom, they show a string of

1512
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: fights during the joint practices with Tampa Bay, and that

1513
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: actually added some juice to the episode. But prior to that,

1514
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: it just felt like this mixtape and they're running out

1515
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,640
Speaker 1: of material. Really, there's just not a whole lot of

1516
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: there there. There's not a lot of meat on the bone.

1517
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: Over and over again. The Jets, you know, they preached

1518
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: the value of competition, even their tight ends. Coach Ron

1519
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Middleton shouts the word out to no one in particular,

1520
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: competition competition, okay, And then all of a sudden, the

1521
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: fight breaks out with Tampa Bay, and Tampa Bay looked

1522
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 1: like they were getting after it. Man, I don't know

1523
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: what pissed them, Pete and theircorn flakes. But they were

1524
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: they looked it felt like they were the instigators. Okay.

1525
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, in episode three, there was no follow up

1526
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: to week two's discussion of the team's offensive line issues,

1527
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: even though Robert Salah went on a pretty big rent

1528
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: that week and even the week before. But we saw,

1529
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of clips sort of preparing for

1530
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's arrival, the plane and stuff. Rogers took a

1531
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 1: back seat a little bit. Producers checked in. He showed

1532
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: some rookies, you showed some journeymen, and then of course

1533
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 1: the obligatory game, right and then the Jets' third preseason game.

1534
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: One of those first year players are running back by

1535
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: the name of Israel Abana Konda. He goes down with

1536
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: a knee injury, or looked like it was knee injury.

1537
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:48,360
Speaker 1: He tells trainers he can hardly feel his leg. Unfortunately,

1538
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:52,680
Speaker 1: his family and friends and coaching staff kind of they

1539
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,919
Speaker 1: have that nervous look on their face from the sidelines.

1540
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: So here's a guy who's a fifth round pick. But

1541
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: these are one of those moments that you look for

1542
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,759
Speaker 1: and hard knocks out of year. The player that comes

1543
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: out of nowhere that becomes a potential game change. You

1544
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 1: saw last year with Roderigo, the linebacker from Oklahoma State

1545
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: who ended up starting for the Detroit Lions, and all

1546
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, this poor guy, fifth rounder having a

1547
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,639
Speaker 1: good camp, but this is a moment that could completely

1548
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: change his career trajectory, and you saw it on film.

1549
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: Could even changes life one of the things that moment did.

1550
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: But you had to really dig deep to notice it

1551
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: and ascertain it and have it sink in that when

1552
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 1: you look at a young man's life, you get it.

1553
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 1: You get it up close, and you get it a

1554
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: close up. What am I trying to say, A close

1555
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 1: and personal look, trying to blurt that out up close

1556
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: in personal look of the stakes. These are the stakes

1557
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: in play. You could look at preseason as is necessary evil.

1558
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 1: You can look at preseason as lackluster. You can look

1559
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: at preseason as blah, I don't cover the lines for

1560
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: ten years. It's very important. That's drama. What you saw

1561
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,719
Speaker 1: there was actual drama. You talk about a young man's life.

1562
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 1: You're talking about a guy in the roster that might

1563
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: have been able to help the Jets. You're talking about

1564
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 1: his potential career being affected all those things. It happened

1565
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 1: right there on tape on Hard Knocks, kind of flew

1566
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: unto the radar. Now we come to find out, fortunately

1567
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: for him, the injury was a thigh contusion. Now that's

1568
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 1: an injury, and it's very painful injury, but thank god

1569
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 1: it's not a torn acl or an achilles or something

1570
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:39,759
Speaker 1: like that. Now, I doubt they'll go into much depth

1571
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: on how his two week absence is going to impact

1572
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 1: his ability to make the roster. Now you've got Dalvin

1573
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: Cook in the depth chart along with pres Hall, so

1574
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: it gets a little crowded, and they don't show cuts

1575
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: anymore on Hard Knocks. But if you watch episode four,

1576
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: which I will be and you'll see it too day,

1577
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 1: that's one of the things I'm going to be looking for.

1578
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: Will they be following up on this, gentleman, this fifth

1579
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: round draft pick is real Lebanaconda? What's the situation with him?

1580
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:14,720
Speaker 1: Because it all played out right there in front of

1581
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 1: God and everybody on tape. Finally, with the last fifteen

1582
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: minutes of the episod episode three, the show kind of

1583
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: turned its attention to the Jets final preseason tune up

1584
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: against the new York Giants, which is Saturday night, and

1585
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: Sala tells Quinn Williams, we're starting everybody in that game,

1586
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: even the big man. The big man is Quinn Williams,

1587
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,720
Speaker 1: who likes to talk about getting sacks, and he got

1588
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 1: upset someone called him fat. I like him. I like

1589
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: that dude. That dude's a vibe. He in addition to

1590
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 1: being a hell of a player, he's a vibe. And

1591
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: I like this Jets team. By the way, the camera

1592
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 1: cuts to Ride and he looks at Randall Cobb and

1593
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: he says, I'm back, So you're actually gonna get see

1594
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers take some snaps as well. All in all,

1595
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: I can't really say that this this year's you know,

1596
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 1: iteration of Hard Knocks is memorable. It's just not. And again,

1597
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: they don't show cuts anymore if you don't have a

1598
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: crazy coach like Rex Ryan. When he did you know

1599
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: that New York Jets twenty ten, I think is when

1600
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:32,799
Speaker 1: they were last on Hard Knocks. Now that that was memorable, memorable,

1601
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 1: be nice if I could say it. So there you

1602
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 1: have it, all right, not a whole hell of a lot.

1603
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 1: You kind of dissect sola speech intended to be inspirational,

1604
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: slightly confounding. Not sure how emotionally impactful or truly inspiring

1605
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: it was. But the content was okay. But again, I've

1606
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 1: always said, you know, it's not enough to know the

1607
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 1: words to New York, New York. If you don't sing

1608
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,439
Speaker 1: it like Sinatra, it's not gonna have the same feel.

1609
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 1: It's not gonna resonate. And I don't know. Look again,

1610
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: I think Robert salas a solid football man, but it's

1611
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not compelling when he speaks to me, okay, And

1612
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I just think that you know, you've seen you've seen

1613
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 1: some moments in Hard Knocks. You've seen some funny moments.

1614
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 1: You've seen some ugly moments, you know, and you've seen

1615
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 1: your your dose of Aaron Rodgers. And you've seen you know, rookies,

1616
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 1: and you've seen the really lousy, lousy rookie show. These

1617
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 1: they're just brutal. They good. Poor guy try to tell

1618
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 1: the joke. I don't know. I can't put my finger

1619
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 1: on it. I will just I guess I'll just say

1620
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: this that this season's episode of this season's you know,

1621
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:52,040
Speaker 1: iteration of Hard Knocks to me is missing something It's

1622
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:54,719
Speaker 1: not I liked last year better with the Detroit Lions,

1623
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: quite honestly, and I had very high hopes because it's

1624
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Woody Johnson, It's New York baby. And by

1625
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,759
Speaker 1: the way, Ralph Matchio the karate kid with a cameo

1626
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 1: appearance at the end, reluctant to drop the F bomb,

1627
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:11,800
Speaker 1: but what the heck? He drops the obligatory F bomb

1628
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,720
Speaker 1: at the end and even barks at Sauce Gardner, who

1629
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 1: looked a little upset when that Tampa Bay receiver beat

1630
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,600
Speaker 1: him on that skinny post. But I digress. Coming up,

1631
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 1: we'll bring in Shade, bringing Kevin, get their thoughts on

1632
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 1: hard Knocks. Maybe I'm being too hard on it. Hey,

1633
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm watching it. It's like eating pizza, Okay, frozen pizza.

1634
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 1: You'll eat it. Taste good, You're not bad, not bad.

1635
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 1: But it's not like going to Grimaldi's not gonna going

1636
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: to your favorite Italian. I mean, it's not like going

1637
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 1: to New York or Detroit or Chicago or a deep dish. No,

1638
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 1: but you still, you know Pete Pete. Even frozen pizza

1639
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 1: taste so you're gonna eat it. This is kind of

1640
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:50,439
Speaker 1: like a frozen pizza to me. How's that for an analogy.

1641
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I want to remind everybody that the tire X Sweepstaks continue.

1660
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe I forgot this part when Woody almost said,

1661
01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: Woody Allen, you know, by the way, let's not forget

1662
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,479
Speaker 1: the New York Jets have had a twelve year draft,

1663
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 1: all right, twelve year drop, meaning that have been to

1664
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs in twelve years. And so Woody Johnson, he splurs,

1665
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 1: this year spent a lot of money on players, and

1666
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 1: he also splurs Donald little Bling comes walking in with

1667
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,040
Speaker 1: his mister T starter kit, takes off his jacket and

1668
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 1: the whole you know, that big, big, that big new

1669
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 1: chain that said Woody on it, his name in silver.

1670
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, in the Jets and the whole

1671
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 1: room was hooting and hollering, and you know, he's the

1672
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 1: boss and he signs the checks and they had to, right,

1673
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: but maybe they meant it. But what he then says,

1674
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,120
Speaker 1: I've inspired by you guys. I've been doing this for

1675
01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 1: a number of years, and this team's coming together and

1676
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: the pieces we've had it and blah blah blah. It's

1677
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:47,800
Speaker 1: almost like, okay, fingers crossed behind my back, please please

1678
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,960
Speaker 1: let this work, please okay. Even though Rogers took a

1679
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 1: pay cut of thirty five million, Johnson did sign off

1680
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:57,080
Speaker 1: on the Jets, absorbing one hundred and ten million dollars

1681
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: on US contract. Then he gave Quinn Williams a long,

1682
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: long term deal four years ninety six million. Then he

1683
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: payt allan Zar a four year, forty four million dollar contract.

1684
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,719
Speaker 1: Then recently he brought in he okayed bringing in Dalvin

1685
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 1: Cook one year deal worth up to eight and a

1686
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: half million. Look, Woody Johnson left no room from interpretation.

1687
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,479
Speaker 1: I've been investing money and now I need to get

1688
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:23,759
Speaker 1: some return on the investment. We got to take advantage.

1689
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen every day. It's up to all you guys.

1690
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: You got fifteen million fans. We're all excited. I feel

1691
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:30,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure on the Jets. Anyway, I'm

1692
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 1: sorry I left that part out because I thought it

1693
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: was a one of the more impactful parts of Hard

1694
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: Knocks Episode three. Kevin, I know you watched episode two.

1695
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 1: We talked about it last week. Have you had a

1696
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: chance to watch episode three?

1697
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Bernie, I did feel free to.

1698
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 1: Comment on any or all of what I said. Take

1699
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:47,400
Speaker 1: your time, you got the floor.

1700
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 6: Well, the last one, the Woody Johnson, which I thought

1701
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:52,120
Speaker 6: was hysterical because the first thing I thought of when

1702
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 6: he took off and you know, his jacket and had

1703
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,720
Speaker 6: the chain. I don't know if you watched thirty Rock,

1704
01:34:57,280 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 6: and there was an episode where Steve U Shimmy played

1705
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 6: an undercover officer and he walks in and he said, yeah,

1706
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 6: I'm going into play a high school student. And he

1707
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:07,320
Speaker 6: wears a backwards cap with the skateboard and walks up

1708
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,120
Speaker 6: to a group of kids, Hello, fellow kids, and he's

1709
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 6: clearly this forty year old guy.

1710
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 7: That's the first thing I thought of when I saw

1711
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 7: Woody Johnson.

1712
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 6: But the overall message was solid, going Bernie, well, no, I'm.

1713
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: Gonna let you jump back in. I'm sorry. I had

1714
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,720
Speaker 1: that feeling too. I'm familiar with that show thirty Rock.

1715
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 1: Was that that was Jim Parsons and Haley Coco? Is

1716
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 1: that is that what that was? Or my wrong?

1717
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 5: No?

1718
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 7: No, that was that was the That was Tracy Morgan.

1719
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry, Yeah, my bad, My bad. Yeah, I

1720
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:39,880
Speaker 1: like that shoe. I didn't see that episode, but to me,

1721
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:42,720
Speaker 1: doing that felt forced. He was like the drunk who

1722
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: stops before the stops on twenty feet, so no one

1723
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 1: thinks you're drunk anyway, continue on, because I think you

1724
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:50,120
Speaker 1: got the same in French nighty continue.

1725
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 6: One and the solid speech, you know, talking about the

1726
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 6: different tiers of players. I thought there were some good

1727
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 6: things in there. I do think to your point, some

1728
01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 6: of this seems a little bit contrived in a little forest.

1729
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 6: But I look again, like we talked about last week,

1730
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,840
Speaker 6: I don't think that his passion is forced, but I

1731
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 6: do think a lot of the stuff is over the

1732
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 6: top and unnecessary. But I do understand the greater overall message,

1733
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 6: which I think was solid. I thought a cool part

1734
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 6: part of it was Randall Cobb and his wife and

1735
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 6: them kind of talking to the two yeah and telling

1736
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:22,439
Speaker 6: their two sons that they have another sibling on the way.

1737
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 7: I thought that was a cool way to present that.

1738
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 1: I agree that was a nice little touch at d

1739
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 1: in there, Yeah Cob.

1740
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 6: Also, I think this was towards the beginning of the episode,

1741
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:34,439
Speaker 6: in a circle with the receivers telling them, if you

1742
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 6: guys continue to make these mistakes out here in the

1743
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:38,720
Speaker 6: practice field, Aaron Rodgers is not going to throw you

1744
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 6: the ball, and just kind of talking about the gravity

1745
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,720
Speaker 6: of the situation and realize, you know, the Jets have

1746
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:46,839
Speaker 6: been also ran for so long, and now everything is heightened.

1747
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 6: You know, you are considered to be favorite. It's not

1748
01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 6: the favorite in the division, but certainly a favorite to

1749
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 6: be able to potentially win the AO East.

1750
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 7: And the standard now is different.

1751
01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 6: That twelve is what he called them, and he says,

1752
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 6: excuse me, eight, the number Aaron Rodgers is wearing. Now

1753
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 6: now that he's here, you guys have to raise your

1754
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 6: level of a game because if you don't, he's not

1755
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 6: going to throw you the ball. So I thought that

1756
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 6: was an impactful speech to have on a pretty young

1757
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 6: core of receivers. You mentioned Quentnin Williams joking about being

1758
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 6: called fat. I thought that was a nice little comic

1759
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 6: relief of him walking around with Mike Evans after the

1760
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:20,799
Speaker 6: joint practice and that they hurt his feelings when.

1761
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:21,720
Speaker 7: They called him fat.

1762
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:25,799
Speaker 6: And the Jern Cap eight mile freestyle for the rookie

1763
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:28,519
Speaker 6: the rookie event, I thought was pretty cool.

1764
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 1: To be honest, I understand Eminem reached out to him.

1765
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 1: He got a kick out of that.

1766
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:35,720
Speaker 6: Yeah that was one. Yeah, that was pretty sweet, and

1767
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 6: he killed it. He absolutely nailed that performance. So I

1768
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 6: thought that was great.

1769
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 1: All right, Those are all really good observations. Give me

1770
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the four levels of competitor. How did

1771
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 1: did that speech work for you?

1772
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 6: It was overall, yes, yes, I certainly understood what he meant.

1773
01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 6: It seemed like more of a speech that you would

1774
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 6: give to like college kids than pros. I'm imagining what

1775
01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers, a twenty year vet, is thinking and hearing

1776
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 6: a speech like that. But I do think overall it's

1777
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 6: a fairly young team, so maybe it'll still have some

1778
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 6: sort of impact. But it seemed more of kind of

1779
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 6: like a rallying cry type of speech that you normally

1780
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 6: wouldn't see in an NFL situation.

1781
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 7: At least that's how I testing.

1782
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 1: Okay, that opens the door for a good little back

1783
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:18,599
Speaker 1: and forth between you and me. Because the ten years

1784
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 1: I covered the Lions, here's what I noticed. There are

1785
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 1: two types of players in the NFL. Half of them

1786
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 1: play the game because they love football. Half of them

1787
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,240
Speaker 1: play the game because they love what football can do

1788
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: for them. It's reality, it's a business. So what I

1789
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:36,559
Speaker 1: think what he's trying to do there is say, hey,

1790
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 1: for you half out there that play the game because

1791
01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:42,559
Speaker 1: of the lifestyle that provides you, face up to the

1792
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,600
Speaker 1: fact you're going to have impact on your teammates, and

1793
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 1: if you want to be an elite competitor, be a

1794
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:48,559
Speaker 1: competitor in a way that affects your teammates. And the

1795
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 1: wonders going to bring that up is because the content

1796
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 1: was good, but I wasn't moved by the way that

1797
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:57,400
Speaker 1: Solid delivered it. He's not the world's greatest order. And

1798
01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't like the four STF bombs. I could do

1799
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 1: with that. I don't mind if a guy's using F bombs.

1800
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien overused them, okay, but they were natural to him.

1801
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 1: He probably uses an F bomb going through wind, he's

1802
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 1: drive through. He just that's the way it rolls, right, right.

1803
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,800
Speaker 1: But back to that speech, believe it or not, it

1804
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 1: still can resonate with an NFL player because you really

1805
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:16,639
Speaker 1: got to get everybody pulling on the rope.

1806
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 6: That makes sense and I can get with that. And

1807
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 6: maybe to your point, Bernie, I think you articulated it great.

1808
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 6: Is that Maybe it's just a way that he presented

1809
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 6: it just didn't seem as genuine to me for whatever reason.

1810
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: Thought you had a lot of good observations. They're a

1811
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 1: nice touch on on Randall Cobb and his two young

1812
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 1: boys and his wife and the support systemy has, and

1813
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 1: that Hard Knocks does a good job of doing that

1814
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: and humanizing these guys are human beings. All right, Shay,

1815
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 1: have you been watching Hard Knocks? I have, Yes, Okay,

1816
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:47,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts, buddy, take it wherever you want to take it.

1817
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 11: So I'm actually I really liked this episode. I was

1818
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,679
Speaker 11: really happy that we finally got to see running backs.

1819
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:55,200
Speaker 11: I feel like in the first two episodes we didn't

1820
01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:57,559
Speaker 11: really see much, and actually it was pretty funny. I

1821
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 11: totally forgot Dalvin Cook was a Jet and then I

1822
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:02,840
Speaker 11: just see him randomly. I'm like, oh, wait a second, yeah,

1823
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 11: And I find it crazy that Dalvin Cook is a

1824
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 11: judge just because of the Aaron Rodgers Dalvin Cook dynamic,

1825
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:12,519
Speaker 11: I mean, a Viking Packers like duo kind of coming together.

1826
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:14,599
Speaker 11: I never really thought i'd see that. Like, especially Dalvin

1827
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 11: Cook and Aaron Rodgers, two Vets, been playing against each

1828
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 11: other for years. It's just so weird to see them

1829
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 11: on the same team. We're in the same uniform. And

1830
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:25,200
Speaker 11: then another thing I really do enjoy watching is just

1831
01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 11: the Randall Cobb Aaron Rodgers relationship. I mean, I think

1832
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 11: twenty eleven was Randall Cobbs first year in the NFL,

1833
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 11: and that's kind of around the time I started watching

1834
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 11: NFL and really getting into fantasy and just the relationship.

1835
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 11: I remember one year I had like the duo of

1836
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 11: the Aaron Rodgers Randall Cobb duo, and this was Randall

1837
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 11: Cobbs one thousand year, one thousand yard year. So just

1838
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 11: seeing the conversations, like him saying, yeah, like this is

1839
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 11: your uncle, Aaron Rodgers, and just the small things. I

1840
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 11: think Cobb also brought up like if he doesn't trust you,

1841
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 11: he won't even like he won't throw it to you,

1842
01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 11: and I thought that was super cool. Just all the

1843
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 11: dialogue between them and just so much history between the

1844
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:03,680
Speaker 11: relationship was super cool to me.

1845
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 1: All good stuff. And I'm glad you brought up the

1846
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 1: running back because it conjured up the memory of Dalvin

1847
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: Cook running twenty or checked that Breshaw running twenty one

1848
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: miles an hour. And then when you see that and

1849
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 1: you know it's a wide receiver in high school, big deal.

1850
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:20,040
Speaker 1: When I see Garrett Wilson coming out of his cuts

1851
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 1: the way he does, I'm like, oh my god, this

1852
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: Jet team really has some dogs, man. They are really

1853
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 1: loaded with talents. So are good observations, guys, And we'll

1854
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 1: do week four next week. Is it starts to wind

1855
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 1: down obviously, and there's there's a lot of meat on

1856
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:36,600
Speaker 1: the boone. I guess you know you put three or

1857
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: four heads into this and our pairs of eyes on it.

1858
01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 1: Everybody made some really good observations, all right. Coming up,

1859
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:45,839
Speaker 1: Speaking of observations, we got Chris Purfett's World of Soccer.

1860
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:48,839
Speaker 1: But first let's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures

1861
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 1: with the latest and Bernie would go to Major League Baseball.

1862
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 1: We had some shaking up in the division standings.

1863
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 6: A little bit on Friday, Marins and Rangers now sharing

1864
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:58,840
Speaker 6: the top spot of the American League West. Seattle defeated

1865
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:02,639
Speaker 6: Kansas City seven five, Minnesota steamroll the Rangers twelve to two.

1866
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 6: Texas has lost eight consecutive games, while Seattle has won

1867
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 6: nine of their last ten. Houston trails each of those

1868
01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 6: teams by one game in the division after they lost

1869
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 6: to Detroit four to one earlier in the day. Michael

1870
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 6: Harris went deep for Atlanta they defeated the Giants five

1871
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,719
Speaker 6: to one, four hits for Freddie Freeman as the Dodgers

1872
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 6: notched a comeback victory in Boston. In the NFL, Bryce

1873
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 6: Young threw his first touchdown pass of the preseason, a

1874
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 6: sixteen yarder to receiver Adam Thielen in what was a

1875
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 6: loss to Detroit. The Chargers defeated the forty nine Ers

1876
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 6: twenty three to twelve. Prior to the game, San Francisco

1877
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 6: traded quarterback Trey Lance to Dallas for a fourth round

1878
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 6: draft pick. Elsewhere you had the Titans being the Patriots

1879
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 6: twenty three to seven. Ryan Tannehill did start the game,

1880
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,360
Speaker 6: but did not attempt to pass. He just handed the

1881
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,759
Speaker 6: ball off a couple of times before taking a seat.

1882
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 6: College Hoops News. The family of Brownie James said in

1883
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 6: a statement he has a congenital heart defect that is

1884
01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:56,520
Speaker 6: treatable and that he does expect to continue his basketball

1885
01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:59,559
Speaker 6: career in the future. James suffered cardiac arrests during an

1886
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 6: on camp his workout at USC last month. Back to

1887
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:04,799
Speaker 6: Bernie Frido, thank.

1888
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 1: You so much. Kevin so is the coach of the

1889
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 1: Spain national team World Cup Soccer. Is he in hot water?

1890
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: MESSI proves to be all the worldly and much more.

1891
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:20,439
Speaker 1: It's why we bring you this time each week. Chris

1892
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 1: burffets world of.

1893
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:35,719
Speaker 10: Soccer, the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama

1894
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 10: him him, It's all here in this report from the

1895
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 10: world of soccer.

1896
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 12: Well, Bernie, it's been an eventful week in the world

1897
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 12: of soccer, so we're going to start with the champions

1898
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 12: of the world in Spain, where the chief of Spanish

1899
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:56,640
Speaker 12: Soccer is refusing to resign following a firestorm of his

1900
01:43:56,720 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 12: own making. This past week, Spain became the champion the world,

1901
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 12: defeating England in the Women's World Cup final, and during

1902
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 12: the metal ceremony, Soccer Federation chief for Luis Rubiales grabbed

1903
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 12: a player, Jennifer Hermosa, a Spanish player, and just kissed

1904
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 12: her on the lips, unprompted, unscripted, unwanted. Louise claims he

1905
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 12: had consents that was purely consensual. I don't think he

1906
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 12: understands the meaning of that word, because Jennifer Hermosa has

1907
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 12: said that at no point was consent given for him

1908
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 12: to just kiss her on the lips. This has created

1909
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 12: a firestorm of his own making and everyone wants him gone.

1910
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 12: As with all things. In twenty twenty three, Rubiales claims

1911
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 12: he is the victim of quote unquote social assassination, a

1912
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,560
Speaker 12: claim that just flies like an arrow with no fletching whatsoever.

1913
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 12: His real problem is that the backlash is pretty much universal.

1914
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 12: The government of Spain is seeking his suspension. Meanwhile, the

1915
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 12: World Championship squad, all twenty three players are preparing to

1916
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 12: boycott and not to play for their country again while

1917
01:44:57,160 --> 01:45:00,240
Speaker 12: Rubiales remains in charge. It is one of those that

1918
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 12: seems just utterly incredible. As always with all things in FIFA,

1919
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 12: these federations are being run by guys who just don't

1920
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:09,760
Speaker 12: seem to have the script in front of them, who

1921
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 12: seem to have weird brains whirling in their head.

1922
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:15,719
Speaker 7: And I think even.

1923
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,640
Speaker 12: If you have problems with some of the political stances

1924
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:21,599
Speaker 12: that soccer players in the women's game take, this isn't

1925
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 12: one of them. This is a pretty easy one. Why

1926
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:26,599
Speaker 12: is this guy being a creep? Moving on, Bernie, I'm

1927
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 12: sure you and I have talked about Roumelo Lukaku before,

1928
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:32,759
Speaker 12: Belgium's all time goal scorer, probably one of my favorite

1929
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 12: players who've seen play in the last few years, a

1930
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 12: brilliant striker of his own right, and unfortunately the past

1931
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 12: few years have just not been kind to his career,

1932
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 12: and yet, in spite of all of that, he is

1933
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 12: the last pig piece set to move in this transfer window,

1934
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 12: which is going to close here on September first. Bukaku,

1935
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 12: as I said, he's Belgium's leading goal scorer. He had

1936
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 12: a remarkable career for a long time with inter Milan.

1937
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:05,400
Speaker 12: Took his game to Chelsea and it bombed out in

1938
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,559
Speaker 12: a pretty bad way. Chelsea right now still owns his rights.

1939
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 12: He was on loan back to inter Milan, his old

1940
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:16,080
Speaker 12: club last year. When he first arrived in Chelsea, it

1941
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 12: was greeted with a lot of fanfare. This was a

1942
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:21,200
Speaker 12: big striking piece they could really use, but Lukaku really

1943
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 12: never panned out for them, and now relations have gotten

1944
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 12: so bad with the club that Lukaku hasn't spoken with

1945
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 12: their new coach since July first. He's done with the

1946
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:32,680
Speaker 12: club and he's ready to go somewhere else, which now

1947
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 12: leaves us with two questions. One where could he go?

1948
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 12: And two could Lukaku still even be good as to

1949
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 12: where he could go? Bernie, that's kind of a little complicated.

1950
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 12: Lukaku himself has some power in this, and he rejected

1951
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 12: a proposal that would have seen him go to the

1952
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 12: Saudi club Al Jalal. As Saudi Arabia continues to make

1953
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 12: their footprint for the Saudi Super League known in this

1954
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 12: transfer window, it's alarmed a lot of English clubs in

1955
01:46:56,680 --> 01:47:01,479
Speaker 12: the relentless courting of big names. It's caused several managers

1956
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:03,320
Speaker 12: to weigh in on just how much money they have

1957
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:06,839
Speaker 12: thrown around to get names like Lukaku and other players.

1958
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 12: Many of those players have rejected it. Lukaku happens to

1959
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 12: be one of them as well. Inter Milan was in

1960
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 12: the cards, but apparently there was a fan backlash reportedly

1961
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:18,559
Speaker 12: that has taken that off the table. In Milan has

1962
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:22,559
Speaker 12: now withdrawn that proposal. Two more Italian clubs in play,

1963
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 12: Juventus and Roma. Juventus, of course, is always in the

1964
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 12: market for big names, but apparently, according to some reports

1965
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,960
Speaker 12: and rumors, Lukaku isn't really that keen on playing with Juventus.

1966
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:37,160
Speaker 12: That leaves Roma and Ruma is intriguing for a lot

1967
01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 12: of reasons, mostly because Jose Mourinho, who we've talked about before, Bernie,

1968
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 12: I know you love Jose Mourinho, was a manager that

1969
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,759
Speaker 12: has worked with Lukaku for many, many years. A reunion

1970
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:49,960
Speaker 12: could be in the cards. We'll have to see as

1971
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:55,360
Speaker 12: the window keeps closing. As for whether Lukaku is still good,

1972
01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:58,800
Speaker 12: I believe so. I believe he's just been under the

1973
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 12: management of some pretty bad fits in the past few

1974
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 12: years at Chelsea and inter Milan, and a fresh change

1975
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 12: of scenery is exactly what he needs. He's thirty years

1976
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 12: old for this year, he's entering that last stage of

1977
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 12: his prime, and he absolutely still has at least a

1978
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 12: few good years under him.

1979
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:16,519
Speaker 7: I think he just needs the right spot.

1980
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:20,600
Speaker 12: And finally, Bernie, we close it with talking about a

1981
01:48:20,720 --> 01:48:24,720
Speaker 12: very somber story here as San Diego, in spite of

1982
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:27,440
Speaker 12: getting an MLS club, is going to be saying farewell

1983
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 12: to one of their clubs. San Diego Loyal, who plays

1984
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:34,719
Speaker 12: in the USL Championship, will be folding following the twenty

1985
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 12: twenty three season. This is notable for several reasons. Loyal

1986
01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:42,479
Speaker 12: was founded and co owned by Landon Donovan, the All

1987
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 12: American great who played for the men's team for so

1988
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 12: many years. A lot of the reasons why they're closing

1989
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 12: has been that they have cited problems with finding a

1990
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 12: near and long term stadium solution right now they play

1991
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:56,240
Speaker 12: at the University of San Diego or six thousand Seed Venue.

1992
01:48:56,439 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 7: They were trying to.

1993
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 12: Seek a modular stadium of about fifteen to twenty thousand

1994
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 12: people to be seated there. But it strikes odd because

1995
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 12: it's not like USL clubs, and if you're unfamiliar with

1996
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:11,680
Speaker 12: the USL, USL forms this next tier of what in

1997
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,679
Speaker 12: the soccer period of play below MLS. It's nothing as

1998
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:17,719
Speaker 12: formal as say the English Football League in the Premier

1999
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 12: League in England, but it's kind of the assumed pecking

2000
01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 12: order of American soccer. We've seen clubs full before down there,

2001
01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 12: but they've always kind of given hints that we're in

2002
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:30,680
Speaker 12: some sort of economic trouble. I think a lot of

2003
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 12: this has to do with the fact that MLS is

2004
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:36,120
Speaker 12: committed to putting a team in San Diego and loyal.

2005
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 12: I believe the people in charge realize that they are

2006
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 12: about to get crushed by this new thing coming. USL

2007
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:46,639
Speaker 12: clubs offer a lot more of a grassroots organization of

2008
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 12: fans and fan culture for soccer, versus something like MLS,

2009
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 12: which is wholly owned by massive billionaires who then go

2010
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,679
Speaker 12: and buy a club and give MLS money to own

2011
01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:59,479
Speaker 12: that club. I would have thought support would continue for

2012
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 12: it in in spite of the fact that there would

2013
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:06,400
Speaker 12: be something like a MLS San Diego team, but apparently not,

2014
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:08,759
Speaker 12: and we are starting to give up the ghost.

2015
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:09,639
Speaker 7: It's a sad day.

2016
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 12: San Diego Loyle was one of the more cherish clubs

2017
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 12: in the USL and it's sad to see them go.

2018
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,160
Speaker 12: That's gonna do it for the World of Soccer, Bernie,

2019
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:18,959
Speaker 12: as always, We'll see you next time.

2020
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 1: All right, Chris. We'll see if Spain's coach apologizes getting

2021
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 1: a little rough there. And Chris is right. I do

2022
01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:32,840
Speaker 1: love Jose Mourinho. He is soccer's version of Bill Belichick.

2023
01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:35,640
Speaker 1: You first heard about him here on the show with

2024
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:40,360
Speaker 1: one of Chris's features of World of Soccer. So all

2025
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 1: good stuff and we'll see what the new cycle brings us.

2026
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:49,440
Speaker 1: Chris back to thirty am Pacific five point thirty am

2027
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 1: Eastern Saturday night. By the way, you know, the New

2028
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:59,520
Speaker 1: England Patriots may have gotten Ezekiel Elliott. Before the Patriots

2029
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 1: got a Zekiel Elliott, their odds to win the championship

2030
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl sixty six to one per bet MGM.

2031
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:15,880
Speaker 1: After signing Ezekiel Elliott. Their odds were sixty six to one. Yep.

2032
01:51:16,479 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 1: I like Ezekiel my man. BJ's probably got him pegged.

2033
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 1: I think he'll he'll do some things in New England

2034
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:26,760
Speaker 1: this year. I think you'll have an impact. But he's

2035
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:28,800
Speaker 1: at that stage in his career where if you need

2036
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:32,479
Speaker 1: two yards, ze will get you two yards. You need

2037
01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 1: four yards, ezek will get you two yards. We'll just

2038
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:38,640
Speaker 1: keep it right there. Finally, want to remind everybody the

2039

2058
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 1: I want to thank my broadcast team back in Los Angeles,

Speaker 1: good job with the games. Shake, Kevin, great job, your

2061
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:54,360

Speaker 1: always great job. Tight show tonight with everybody good job?

2063
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:00,760

2064
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:03,639
Speaker 1: to be more creative on that. We really appreciate everybody's

2065
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 1: effort tonight. All right. Look mentioned the word hype train.

2066
01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:09,320
Speaker 1: Look it up in the dictionary. The Lion's name is

2067
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 1: next to it. All right, The Lions, I get it.

2068
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:13,800
Speaker 1: They're in a bit of a weird spot. Didn't even

2069
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 1: make the playoffs last season, yet they're one of the

2070
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:21,320
Speaker 1: most talked about teams of this offseason, all right, and

2071
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 1: you hear the word culture, and some people might think

2072
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:25,960
Speaker 1: that's an empty buzz word. Look, I would not be

2073
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:29,160
Speaker 1: talking glowingly about the Detroit Lions unless I min it.

2074
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:31,800
Speaker 1: I covered the team for ten years pre and post

2075
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:34,799
Speaker 1: ninety eight to eight. My first year was Barry Sanders.

2076
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:37,920
Speaker 1: Last year I remember August seventh, nineteen ninety nine, he

2077
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:40,240
Speaker 1: retired suddenly. I've seen it all the last year. What

2078
01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:44,759
Speaker 1: happened Rodd Marinelli? Oh in sixteen, that's right, dan Orlowski

2079
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 1: runs out of the end zone. They lose twelve to ten.

2080
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 1: That day. Lions were four and zero preseason preseason champs,

2081
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: score eighty points, gave up thirty two, greatest preseason four

2082
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:56,360
Speaker 1: to OH team in history. I've been there, I've seen

2083
01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 1: it all. There's nothing I haven't seen. This Lions team

2084
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: can win that division. This Lions team should win ten games.

2085
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:06,519
Speaker 1: This LANs team should make the playoffs. What they do

2086
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: from there, we'll find out. Why do I say that? Okay, Well,

2087
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:15,160
Speaker 1: let me start with the division, the Minnesota Vikings. I

2088
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:17,080
Speaker 1: tipped my cap to what they did last year, but

2089
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 1: all year Dan Byer picked up on it. We talked

2090
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:21,920
Speaker 1: about it on a couple of Sundays, and the fact

2091
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,720
Speaker 1: of the matters, he was right, and it showed up

2092
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and the New York Giants the bill

2093
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:30,439
Speaker 1: came do It's called the Pythagoream theorem. If you give

2094
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 1: up more points than you score, you don't win thirteen games.

2095
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:37,440
Speaker 1: Yet the Vikings did that. If you are seven or

2096
01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:41,200
Speaker 1: zhoe one score games, that's gonna come back. What goes

2097
01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 1: up must come down. If you are eleven and one

2098
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 1: in games scored decided by less than a touchdown, come on, now,

2099
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:50,760
Speaker 1: come on now. I don't care what the Vikings are

2100
01:54:50,760 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 1: telling us they did on offense. I think the third

2101
01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:54,440
Speaker 1: nine win team this year we'll see prove me wrong.

2102
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 1: But the Pythagoream theorem usually doesn't lie. It didn't last

2103
01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:00,440
Speaker 1: year with the Raiders. I gave the same speechlast year.

2104
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 1: The Eiders were ten and seven, fired Rich Passacia, and

2105
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:06,280
Speaker 1: they had the same kind of bottleshom numbers, and guess

2106
01:55:06,280 --> 01:55:08,080
Speaker 1: what I said, They're gonna go seven and ten. I

2107
01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 1: was wrong. They went six and eleven. So I'm not

2108
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:12,320
Speaker 1: a Vikings fan. And by the way, the Lions were

2109
01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:13,920
Speaker 1: five and one of their division last year. You may

2110
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:17,760
Speaker 1: have missed that, and they completely molly wopped the Vikings.

2111
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 1: As Kevin would say in one of those games. The Bears,

2112
01:55:22,360 --> 01:55:25,160
Speaker 1: they keep telling us they're better, but I'm tired of speeches.

2113
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:29,800
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for Justin Fields, the individual.

2114
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 1: He's not an NFL quarterback yet again, don't tell me,

2115
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:37,360
Speaker 1: show me, don't make it be your default mechanism to run.

2116
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:39,520
Speaker 1: Show me you can operate from the pocket, Show me

2117
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:41,760
Speaker 1: you can get the ball out of your hands. And

2118
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 1: the Bears, you know, I don't know. They were a

2119
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:47,720
Speaker 1: three win team last year. Three win teams don't improve

2120
01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:51,160
Speaker 1: too well. Actually that's not fair. Cam Newton took a

2121
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 1: one to fifteen team, gone to the super Bowl the

2122
01:55:52,840 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: next year, and then, of course, said Trevor Lawrence did

2123
01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:58,880
Speaker 1: the same thing in Jacksonville. Damn near didn't get him

2124
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, but he took a three win

2125
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 1: team and they won their division for worse than first.

2126
01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears have that in their DNA.

2127
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. I'm not seeing it. If I'm wrong,

2128
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. That leaves the Green Bay Packers. Jordan Love.

2129
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:16,720
Speaker 1: I think he's conducted himself admirably these last three years

2130
01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 1: behind what was kind of a circus. But I don't

2131
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:21,760
Speaker 1: know if these are manor league quarterback. I think what

2132
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 1: you're going to see is flashes, but you're not going

2133
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 1: to see that consistency. And we don't know what he's

2134
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: going to do on third down. We don't know what

2135
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 1: he's going to do in the fourth quarter. We don't

2136
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 1: know what he's going to do with two minutes to go. Okay,

2137
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 1: we don't know what he's going to do in the

2138
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 1: red zone. That's where you make your bones. They don't

2139
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 1: pay it a punt on third down, they pay it

2140
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 1: again first downs. And you got to be that field

2141
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 1: general that can put the team on your back once

2142
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 1: in a while. Now here's the thing, this one under

2143
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 1: the radar. After the line started out one and six

2144
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 1: last year, they fired their dB coach Aubrey Pleasant. He

2145
01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:56,880
Speaker 1: ran this risk reward scheme that was really ineffective. It

2146
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:00,160
Speaker 1: caused all kinds of communication problems. What are the Lions do?

2147
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:02,920
Speaker 1: They install a simpler system and it worked. They were

2148
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,200
Speaker 1: eight and two down the stretch. By the way, dre

2149
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 1: Bli has joined the team as their DB's coach. Additionally,

2150
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 1: The Lions knew they needed to get better in the secondary,

2151
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:16,040
Speaker 1: so they did. They went out and got cornerback Cameron

2152
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 1: Sutton from the Steelers. They went out and acquired safety

2153
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 1: Chauncey Gardner Johnson from the Eagles. And they acquired cornerback

2154
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Molesley from the forty nine Ers. Cameron set from

2155
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers, Chauncey Gardner Johnson from the Eagles, Emmanuel Molesley

2156
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:34,880
Speaker 1: from the forty nine Ers. Those are all big upgrades

2157
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 1: from organizations that have success. Oh yeah, they drafted linebacker

2158
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:44,440
Speaker 1: Jack Campbell from Iowa. Great open field tackler, great ron

2159
01:57:44,480 --> 01:57:48,080
Speaker 1: stuffer fills his gaps. Is he the most super athletic

2160
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:49,960
Speaker 1: guy in the world. No, but he's big, strong in

2161
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:53,120
Speaker 1: a knock you on your butt. He's already being called

2162
01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 1: Jack Lambert by some folks who remember Steelers, the Steelers

2163
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. And by the way, did I mention

2164
01:57:59,480 --> 01:58:01,600
Speaker 1: the Lions. They have the nineth easiest schedule in the

2165
01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 1: NFL this year. Their opponents have accumulative four ninety two

2166
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:07,480
Speaker 1: winning percentage. Now I know. They opened up against the

2167
01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs on Thursday night, a week from Thursday, catching seven

2168
01:58:11,080 --> 01:58:14,280
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes has been pretty tough on Opening Night.

2169
01:58:14,520 --> 01:58:17,480
Speaker 1: Remember a few years ago when Jared goff outdueled them

2170
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:20,360
Speaker 1: fifty four to fifty one. Don't go to sleep on

2171
01:58:20,360 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 1: this Lion's team. Nobody knows more about hyping the Lions

2172
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 1: than I do. Nobody has seen them fall on their

2173
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 1: face more than I have. I'm buying them. I think

2174
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:30,720
Speaker 1: they're good. They got the receipts, they got their roster.

2175
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:33,400
Speaker 1: Now they gotta go do it. But don't go to sleep.

2176
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:35,960
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if they don't win it. If they

2177
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 1: win it, excuse me. It's gonna do it. For the
