Speaker 4: Such a it, It honestly is such a wonderful community thing.

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 5: Right for me.

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: Like I live in Chicago and it's one of those

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: things where any bar you walk past, there are so

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 2: many people in there rooting for so many different teams,

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: especially like on a college football Saturday, where you just

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: you see so many different jerseys and tea and T

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: shirts and like different crowds are going off on this

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: TV and like you hear cheers coming there, Like what's

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: like it is just it brings us all together.

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 5: Wait, sorry, yeah, well, and I was watching Big Noon

32
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 5: Kickoff this morning, which I have just loved the way

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 5: they have elevated that show. And the weather in you know,

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 5: from the Northwestern game. Yeah, was crazy because in the

35
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: morning you're watching time lapses of lightning and stuff, and

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: then it was like what a ball mey seventy degrees

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: at Oh, it's perfect.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: It was perfect.

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: We had some storms here in the morning that we

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: woke up to and then everything cleared out. It's sunny,

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: it's seventy five. It could not be better weather. And

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: then Northwestern it plays on the lake because they're in

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,279
Speaker 2: their practice stadium while the new Ryan Field is being built,

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: and they like you get the breeze coming off the water.

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: I mean it is really like an idyllic place other

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: than the fact I think it holds like.

47
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 4: Twelve thousand, twelve thousand people, but.

48
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: The views, I mean talk about a way to experience football.

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: But I was really impressed to with the way the

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 5: Northwestern student body showed up for you know, for their

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 5: football team. Obviously Oregon, I mean, we can get to

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 5: this later. I think they could be a championship favorite

53
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 5: for me right now.

54
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they like they just flashed. Like Dan

55
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: Lanning in his career at Oregon has like the highest

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: point differential of like any coach and however belong. I mean,

57
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: like Oregon isn't just going out and winning, They're dominating.

58
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: But I mean that's kind of as we expect in

59
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: Northwestern is like the little brother of the Big Ten,

60
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: which is so weird that Organ's now part of.

61
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 5: But well, right, don't get me started on Ucling. I know,

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 5: every game this season, no, it is bad, Carmen, it's

63
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: so bad, and.

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: Then it is.

65
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 5: But no, I mean, so if Oregon does win this year,

66
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 5: does that mean they have to have one game every

67
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 5: year where the mascot gets beheaded?

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know, maybe like the juju

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: now that could be that, that could be the tradition.

70
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: Oregon has to go up against the SEC and actually

72
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: be worth something for the right that the showing from Usela,

73
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: maybe at the showing from my alma bout in Northwestern

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: may be bad. But we have a great show for you.

90
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: Nikki so I talked a little bit of college football.

91
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to more college football, but I need

92
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: to talk about the NFL, and I need to talk

93
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 2: about a team that has been my personal boogeyman growing.

94
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 5: Up, Rent Free Live, rent Free.

95
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: In the heads of everyone here in Chicago. Since you know,

96
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: working in this industry growing up, I you know, cover

97
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: the whole league, I have to be impartial, and I

98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: have actually grown to very much love the organization. But

99
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: Packers Commanders Thursday Night. It's funny because we're getting good

100
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: games and like good matchups on Thursday Night, but inevitably,

101
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: go figure guys on three days rest. Uh, the games

102
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 2: don't end up actually being that good, Like they're usually

103
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: pretty either lopsided or there's just not a whole lot

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: of juice because these guys are so run down. But

105
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: even saying that the green Bay Packers look dominant, they

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: absolutely dominant through two weeks of the season.

107
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 5: It is shocking. I mean it's not really shocking. A

108
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 5: lot of people were, you know, speculating with the addition

109
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 5: of Micah Parsons, like, just how talented could this team

110
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 5: the Green Bay team, which they didn't. They didn't beat

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: any playoff caliber teams a season ago, and now they're

112
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 5: all of a sudden front runner as a super Bowl favorite,

113
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 5: which is it's crazy, but I mean this defense, I

114
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 5: think by the end of the season could be among

115
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 5: the best in the league. And then you know, obviously

116
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: featuring the name Parsons, it's gonna be scary, and isn't

117
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: isn't there something? Jordan Love is the same age that

118
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 5: both Farv and Rogers won their Super Bowls with in

119
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 5: Green Bay?

120
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, ah, I guess. I mean that was earlier

121
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: on in their careers.

122
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: So I think that's the boogeyman. Love is older and yeah, yeah,

123
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: yeah that he's the same age that both Farv and

124
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: Rogers won their Super Bowls in Green Bay. And I

125
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 5: just I know this. I mean, I feel I feel

126
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 5: for Bears fans.

127
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: How did you that's okay? Delusion?

128
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: Are we going to yeah? Are we going to talk

129
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 5: a little bit about the Monday Night?

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: You're real? We need too? Do we need to?

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 5: And I don't know, do we want to talk about

132
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 5: Jamie McCarthy? I mean, well, yeah, well but let's continue

133
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: the Green Bay conversation.

134
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: For me, I need I need, I need to wax

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: poetting a little bit about the Green Bay Packers. The

136
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: twenty seven eighteen win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday

137
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: Night Football. Washington Commanders, who I mean took a lot

138
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: of people by surprise last year. A very good team,

139
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: very solid team. There are still a little more question

140
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: marks on that team than I would like, but they

141
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: have a very exciting quarterback. I love Jayden Daniels. Watched

142
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: Jayden fan a lot of Jade and Daniels. He It's

143
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: it's funny because I marrying into the LSU fan base

144
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: and so now these guys are my guys, and watching

145
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: every snap jay and Daniels took for the LSU Tigers

146
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: has been incredible, and then to see him translate very

147
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: quickly into the NFL. But what the Green Bay Packers

148
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: defense was able to do against him, I mean, seventeen

149
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: yards on scrambles, I believe seven scrambles seventeen yards that's

150
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: all he got. And I'm thinking about the Green Bay

151
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: Packers and that defense with Michael Parsons in a limited

152
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: role by the way, because he's still not all the

153
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: way healthy with that back issue, and I'm looking at

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: them and I'm like, huh, who's the Green Bay Packers'

155
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: biggest like, who's our biggest competitor when it comes to

156
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: our competition when it comes to the NFC for getting

157
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. Who is the stiffest competition that

158
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: they are going to face? And it's the Philadelphia Eagles.

159
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: Who the Philadelphia Eagles have as quarterback Jalen Hurts. What

160
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: does Jalen Hurts do? Really well? He runs, he scrambles,

161
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: They have designed runs for him. If the Packers can

162
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: contain these dual threat quarterbacks that are extremely athletic, that

163
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: know how to use their legs, and they can get

164
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: to them, not just wait for them, but like the

165
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: speed with which the Green Bay defensive line got to

166
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels in that Thursday night game again on short

167
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: rest that if I'm Philadelphia, I am terrified me I'm

168
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: being put on notice, I really am, because that is

169
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: something that you are going to need to contend with

170
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: if you want to make it to the Super Bowl

171
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: and get out of the NFC. And it's something the

172
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers seem to be built for.

173
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: And Jayden Daniels looked pedestrian, honestly, and I think that

174
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 5: might have been the worst game we've seen him play right,

175
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 5: which isn't fair to say in his young in his

176
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 5: second season here, but that is a testament to what

177
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 5: you were talking about with this with this Packers defense,

178
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: And I mean Micah Parsons was facing double teams and

179
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: I think even a triple team on one play and

180
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 5: it's still having an effect. I think he had a

181
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: half second, three quarterback kids something like that. But yeah,

182
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 5: you're and like you said, even still still injured or

183
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 5: not at full capacity, I should say, and he.

184
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: Is elevating those players around him. I mean, you look

185
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: at what Sean Gary is now able to do, what

186
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Lucas van Ness is able to do, and DeVante Wyatt

187
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: I think has like the addition of Michael Parsons has

188
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: paid dividends in the way that I was talking to

189
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: somebody Andy Herman of Packagday this week, and in the

190
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: way that we talk about the elite quarterbacks elevating the

191
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: play of those around them defensively, that's Michael Parsons. Michael

192
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: Parsons has again, even in a limited role, right elevated

193
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: the play of those around him by you know, stealing

194
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: attention from the offense and from blockers and all that

195
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: other stuff, leaving these other guys with really good favorable

196
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: matchups and it's working, and just top to bottom.

197
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 4: They're great.

198
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: And indirectly this also allows for Jordan Love to continue

199
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: playing with absolute reckless abandon When he decides to throw

200
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: the football, it usually works for him. He is almost

201
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: anticipatory to a fault where he is throwing to a

202
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: spot where you don't see a single Green and gold

203
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: or in last in Thursday's case, white receiver anywhere near it.

204
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: And they come out of nowhere and the spot is

205
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: dead on and you have Jordan Love on those fadeaway

206
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: jumpers thrown off his back foot, and sometimes that can

207
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: lead him into trouble. But now you have a defense

208
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 2: that can insulate against that. And that's the biggest thing

209
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: with the Green Bay package.

210
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 5: And no, I want to go back to what you're

211
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 5: saying about Parsons for a moment, because for as someone

212
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 5: who covers a lot of basketball, I see that effect,

213
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 5: you know, and players, as they you know, work their

214
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 5: way through four quarters of a game right and they learn.

215
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 5: The truly excellent players who get the most attention find

216
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: a way to use that attention. Those double teams and

217
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 5: the gravity it creates on them to elevate those around them,

218
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: so they could, you know, not have a lot of

219
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: field goal attempts and not have a lot of scoring.

220
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 5: And that's so as you're you know, laying out what

221
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 5: Parsons has in terms of, you know, the power to

222
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 5: shift and elevate everyone around him, that is that's so true,

223
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 5: and I can't I'm I'm excited to watch the battles

224
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 5: because the NFC is well, the NFC West in particular

225
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 5: is stacked, So it's it's gonna be fun watching some

226
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 5: of these conference and division matchups.

227
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the NFC North is too.

228
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 2: I mean that this is one of the divisions where

229
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: like I've been asked all off season, like how do

230
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 2: I see this shaking out? And I couldn't tell anyone

231
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: because all of these teams are talented and you think,

232
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: you know, I will mention the Monday night game. I've

233
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: been a big believer in J. J. McCarthy pretty much

234
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: this whole time. Like I'm like, I know, he's green,

235
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: I know, whatever, But the sports system he has around him,

236
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: the quarterback coach he has in Kevin O'Connell and Josh

237
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: McCown is in that room, the faith that the Minnesota

238
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: Vikings showed that they had in him by not getting

239
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: anyone of consequence to be that bridge when and then

240
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: and letting Sam Darnold walk instead of re signing him.

241
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: That to me singled like, no, they're riding with JJ,

242
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: and they have reason to do so. And the rest

243
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: of the team top to bottom is so talented and

244
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: has set JJ McCarthy up so well that even with

245
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: the learning curve, he's he looks great.

246
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: You saw it in that game.

247
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 2: That game was a microcosm of everything because he started

248
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: out so poorly and everything the Bears defense was doing

249
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: against him, he was getting miserable, making him miserable, keeping

250
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: him under pressure. And then he he kept fighting and

251
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: he fought back, and not only fought back, but then

252
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: ends up winning the game for the Minnesota Vikings after

253
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: the Bears had dominated for basically three quarters. And having

254
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: that kind of like that response to adversity and that

255
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: resilience is some one of those intangibles that tells me, like,

256
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: you're going to be just fine.

257
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: Carman.

258
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 5: I could not get enough of the locker room video

259
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 5: after it. Oh right, see coach getting you know, just

260
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 5: recognizing him him and not quitting and and I think

261
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: there's a story of him looking at his offensive lineman

262
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 5: or you know, everyone in the huddle and they're down

263
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: and he goes, tell me where, tell me where you'd

264
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 5: rather be right now than this moment. And I mean, honestly,

265
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 5: if they lose the game and it goes horribly, that's

266
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 5: that's that's a little bit of a posturing there. But

267
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 5: it didn't go horribly and he and the comeback did happen.

268
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 5: And I mean, the aura, the aura JJ has in

269
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 5: in his young, young, young career is I am hooked.

270
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 5: I was texting Tracy Sandler during the game being like,

271
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 5: I mean, like, oh, I get, I get what you

272
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 5: saw in JJ and Michigan up front, like a close

273
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 5: and personal that's incredible.

274
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Listen, Wins are not a quarterback stat Yeah, I'll repeat,

275
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: wins are not a quarterback set right right right. This

276
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: kid's a winner and that's all he's ever done. And

277
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: there's there's a mentality that comes along with that that

278
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: I think is going to serve him well and the Bears.

279
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 2: I think the Bears need patience. I've been preacing reaching

280
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: patients for the Bears this entire time. It's not gonna

281
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: look good.

282
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: Right away.

283
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: Everything was overhauled, everything was changed. Does that stop people

284
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: from Chicago from overreacting? No, But there were some decent

285
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: things to take away from that game, and you just

286
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: need to keep pushing forward. And my decentse were I mean,

287
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: in the beginning, like all the scripted stuff, it looked like,

288
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: all right, I could see the vision for the offense.

289
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: Kayla Williams looked decisive during like the beginning of that game.

290
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: And you have like and the like receivers, the way

291
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: that they could run routes, and the way that the

292
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: you know, there was so much change up in the

293
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: offensive personnel that was being used, and they had found

294
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: really creative ways of getting DeAndre Swift the ball.

295
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: The defense I thought looked really really good.

296
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: They're gonna look even better when they get Jalen Johnson back.

297
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: They didn't have Kyler Gordon either one of their other corners, so, like,

298
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: I have faith that they're going to figure it out,

299
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: but I just think it's not gonna look super good

300
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: in the meantime.

301
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 5: All Right, I'm taking your word for it, Uh, take.

302
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: My word for it. We're gonna come back next block.

303
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: We're going to go through maybe a little bit of

304
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: a week two preview talk, a little bit more about

305
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: maybe the AFC looks a little more wide open than usual.

306
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: Too soon to make conclusions about the Chiefs.

307
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

308
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about it. You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday.

Speaker 5: The Drake line like behind me like a ponytail.

352
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 3: There it is.

353
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Clay Thompson tried to quote it one

354
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 5: time and it was completely missed it.

355
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you gotta you gotta have the delivery

356
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: as well as as the knowledge. And Week two is

357
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 2: gonna be a good one, I think, because there's one

358
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: game that I want to talk about first because it's

359
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: not on any of the in any of the primetime windows.

360
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: And I get it, we're getting a Super Bowl rematch

361
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: this week. The the primetime like the Sunday Night and

362
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: the Monday games are a little whatever. But Ben Johnson,

363
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: the new head coach of the Chicago Bears former offensive

364
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: coordinator of the Detroit Lions.

365
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: Is going back to Detroit already.

366
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: We are Week two and this will be Chicago's second

367
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: divisional game that they are playing, and their coach is

368
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: going back to where he came from.

369
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 5: I just thought, well, wait, and I just have to say,

370
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 5: I feel like the NFL screenplay writers, right, you know,

371
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 5: whoever has the script, I just feel like they did

372
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 5: such a good job of giving us all these juicy

373
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 5: matchups in the first two weeks.

374
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: I know, like like as if we needed to be hooked, right,

375
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, I'm already hooked. It's football.

376
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: I'm glad it's back. I'm already going to tune in.

377
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: And now you're really kind of like amp and up

378
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: the juice on it.

379
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, so sorry to interrupt there, but no, of course, Scot.

380
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 2: I just think that this is gonna be very This

381
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: is gonna be a huge test for Chicago because obviously

382
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: they did not play four quarters of football against the

383
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings at home on primetime, so now this you

384
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: take away the primetime aspect of this. However, Chicagana House

385
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 2: go on the road and they have to go to

386
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: fort Field. Ford Field is a dome. Ford Field gets

387
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: deafeningly loud now that the Lions are good as the

388
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: one who is.

389
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 5: I remember the Rams talking about, like and especially Matthew Stafford,

390
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: like just I mean, coming in as an opponent even

391
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: like it is, it is a raucous in there.

392
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 2: It is, And I mean Detroit loves their team so

393
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: much and I'm so happy for Detroit fans, like for

394
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: the Lions themselves. I mean, this is an organization that

395
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: was just the picture of mediocrity for so long and

396
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: now they are. They've been on a tear. But they

397
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: had a coaching exodus. Both of their coordinators, their offensive

398
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator I should say both left and.

399
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 4: They promoted from within.

400
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: They promoted with another familiar face in the case of

401
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator, Johnny Morton, but they have Calvin Shephard

402
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: as the defensive coordinator and Nikki. I was in Detroit

403
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: for training camp this summer and it was only a

404
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, and I walked in and the first

405
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 2: thing anyone wanted to say.

406
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 4: To me was sho week two.

407
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, yes, and like they were already

408
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: because they don't get to play.

409
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 5: Air has been circled. It has been circled.

410
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: They don't get to play Aaron Glenn and the Jets.

411
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: So this is like the revenge tour that they get.

412
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: And it's not even a revenge store because obviously, ten

413
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: times out of ten anybody is taking the job of

414
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: moving from coordinator to head coach. Ben Jonson even put

415
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: it off for at least a year, if not. I

416
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: mean he had some interest propriority last year as well,

417
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: but like the year before, like he had multiple offers

418
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: to go be a head coach, and he's decided to

419
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: stay with Detroit and they won the division again, got

420
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: to fifteen wins, most potent offense in the league, most

421
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: points per game, all this crazy stuff, and finally Ben

422
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: Johnson was like, okay, okay, I think it's time I

423
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: should go, and.

424
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 4: He did so.

425
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: Now it was mixed to There were mixed feelings of

426
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: the people that I talked to, which were coaches, some players,

427
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: even some staff members around the building, and it was

428
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: it ranged from you know, we really want him to

429
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 2: do well just outside of two games a year, you know,

430
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: given that they have to play him. But then other

431
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: people were like, no, I don't want anything good.

432
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: I want him. I want to beat him so bad.

433
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: And regardless of where anybody fell, it was like, these

434
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: teams are going to have some stuff for each other.

435
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 2: They are so familiar with each other, given that there

436
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: were division rivals as it is, but this is what

437
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: happens when you go from being a coordinator at one

438
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: team and then being the head coach of an intra

439
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 2: division team. You have so much context and I cannot wait.

440
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: The thing that concerns me is that this offense in

441
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: Chicago is not where it needs to be to start

442
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: adding all of the fun and creative and petty stuff

443
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: that Ben Johnson likes to do. It's not very so

444
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm very interested to see what he has for Detroit.

445
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: Because Detroit, on the other hand, Kelvin Shepperd, the defensive coordinator,

446
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: has eight Hutchinson back, and that's gonna be it's it's

447
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be.

448
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: It's gonna be tough slutton, I think for the Chicago Bears, and.

449
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 5: I feel like the Lions on top of that need

450
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 5: to get right moment they do too, Yes, and so

451
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 5: it's going to be I think everything is uh. It

452
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: like the Bears are walking into a very formidable situation.

453
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 5: They're they're walking into a get right game for their opponent,

454
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 5: hostile environment, a little bit of vitrio. I mean, the

455
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 5: team can downplay it, but I would I would feel saucy.

456
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 5: You know, your your guy leaves and and yeah, you

457
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 5: can't blame them the nature of the business in the industry,

458
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: but I I and also it's not like Chicago showed

459
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 5: a very strong foundation in week one to.

460
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: Be quite still building it right. You're still building it right.

461
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that and then the highlight of the Week

462
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: is obviously Chiefs Eagles.

463
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 4: I don't know.

464
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 2: I like, is it weird to say that? I think

465
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: it might be kind of a boring game.

466
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 5: It could be, but like, is.

467
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: It too Like are we I've seen the Chiefs do

468
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: this too many times to like really count them out

469
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: of anything, But like, do we think that this game

470
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: will tell us something about whether how seriously we should

471
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 2: actually take the Chiefs?

472
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 5: Do you do you think we're gonna get a shootout?

473
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: I don't know. I like Spags would tell me no,

474
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: but like, I don't know, like.

475
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 5: They I think Spags has a young defense, right that's

476
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 5: still trying to figure out his and he's not slowing

477
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: his stuff down for this defense. And it's also missing

478
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 5: read and it's I think that was on full display

479
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 5: against the Chargers. I'm really curious to see if the

480
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 5: defense grows and sharpens for Kansas City as the season

481
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 5: goes on, or if this is I mean, it's it's hard.

482
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 5: It's hard imagining the lead where the Chiefs aren't formidable.

483
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: Idea it is it is, And like, I mean they're

484
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: going through some stuff offensively too, where see Rice is

485
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: suspended and they don't have the horses there, but like

486
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: two years ago, they didn't have the horses either, and

487
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: they still won the Super Bowl. So like I can't,

488
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 2: I can't conceivably count them out until I see it.

489
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: I feel like right, and I don't want to. I

490
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 5: don't want to either. I like them being good. I

491
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 5: think it's it's fun when they I mean, last year

492
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 5: they were winning ugly. But I hope it's not the demise.

493
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 5: I do love seeing the rest of the AFC get

494
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 5: closer and closer to challenging them, though I do.

495
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, more parody is always better, right, I don't know,

496
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 2: what do you think we're going to go to the

497
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: to the update booth where Martin Weiss is waiting for

498
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: enough day break.

499
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 7: Right now?

500
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 8: I think George is in a ton of trouble.

501
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: Oh that's what I think.

502
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 8: We already saw one upset on the day is Georgia

503
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 8: Tech went into He comes in on a fifty five

504
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 8: yard field.

505
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 4: Say he climbs in? Absolutely not, absolutely not.

506
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, defeated, was victorious over I got limpleout this

507
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 8: so thorists, I'll have something better for you next time.

508
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 8: But it was a to a twenty four to twenty

509
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 8: one win. There right now, Tennessee, the fifteenth ring team

510
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 8: of the nation, with a twenty one to seven lead

511
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 8: over Georgia. Georgia, the sixth ring team in the nation.

512
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 8: It is three minutes and thirty seconds left in the

513
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 8: first quarter. Penn State, with twelve minutes left in the

514
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 8: first half on FS one, has a ten to nothing

515
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 8: lead over Villanova. Penn State is a second ranked team

516
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 8: in the nation. Texas Tech and Oregon State that's on Fox.

517
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 8: That's in a rain delay. Iowa was staying with a

518
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 8: three to nothing lead over or I'm sorry over Arkansas

519
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 8: State with six thirty left in the first quarter, and

520
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 8: Texas with the ball but no score against UTEP right

521
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 8: now ten minutes They just got started in that one.

522
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 8: Earlier today I had big wins for Oregon, Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, Alabama, Michigan, Auburn,

523
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 8: and Missouri. Georgia just scored zachar Riot Branch with a

524
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 8: thirty six yard touchdown catch. So now that score is

525
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 8: going to be twenty one to thirteen with the extra

526
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 8: point pending. In Major League Baseball, Threak school Ball avoided

527
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 8: major injury after getting pulled from his star yesterday.

528
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: Bottom of the eighth inning.

529
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 8: I'm sorry. Top of the ninth inning, raising the Cubs

530
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 8: tie four to four. Bottom of the sixth Baltimore with

531
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 8: the two one lead over Toronto. Top of the third,

532
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 8: scoreless in Pittsburgh and Washington, the aforementioned Tigers. They got

533
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 8: good news with school Boy right now trailing the Marlins.

534
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 8: Won to nothing at the top of the second inning,

535
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 8: Yankees two nothing over the Red Sox, and the bottom

536
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 8: of the first Rangers and the Mets. They're just getting started.

537
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 8: That one was in a range delay as well earlier today,

538
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 8: but it's the top of the first inning. It's scoreless

539
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 8: between the Rangers and the Mets.

540
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, thank you so much, Martin. How

541
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: do you feel about J. J. McCarthy's debut. By the way,

542
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: mister michkin Man.

543
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 8: For the first three quarters, I thought, this is why

544
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 8: Kevin O'Connell seems to be on the phone with every

545
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 8: available quarterback and even some of those that weren't very available.

546
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: But I also, we're only rumors. Also, you know, we

547
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: didn't get any confirmation.

548
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 8: That is true. But also when he pulled that on

549
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 8: that read option and scored the touchdowns, like this is

550
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 8: the JJ McCarthy that I remember like a game in which,

551
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 8: if you watch it, did he play well? Not necessarily,

552
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 8: but at the end of it, it's the most thing ever.

553
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: He's a winner or whatever.

554
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 8: He just makes plays at the end of games that

555
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 8: help you win.

556
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 4: I can't argue with that because he did it.

557
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: So I don't know if Vikings fans and Bears fans

558
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: had the exact opposite experience with this Monday night game,

559
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 2: where like Viking Twitter was melting down like, oh my god,

560
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy's a bus like Kevin mccardoll's not actually a

561
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 2: good coach, like oh my god, we should have done more,

562
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah, and then Bears fans were like,

563
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: oh my god, I don't even feel like I'm watching

564
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: the Bears. And then it shifted, and then Bikings fans

565
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: are like, no, he's the truth. We're good, we're fine,

566
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: And now Bears fans are like, oh my god, it's

567
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: the same old, same old, like we paid a bunch

568
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: of money for a coach that doesn't it's not anything different.

569
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's it was it was, it was,

570
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: it was.

571
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: It was like it was a glimpse into both of

572
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 2: these fan bases, which I thought was really fun. I

573
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 2: think we're having a little bit of trouble getting hold

574
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: of Oh, he's ready, guys.

575
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: We've got a special show.

576
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 5: Really important question though. To start us off here, what

577
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 5: did we think of the gray shirt that killed Williams?

578
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't We'll get to that.

579
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second because we can

580
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: actually Dave and I talked about it quite a bit.

581
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 2: We have Dave Hellman, now the co host of The

582
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 2: Athletic Football Show, joining us right now from the streets

583
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: of Chicago.

584
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: Dave, how are.

585
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: We today, Hey, guys, I'm wonderful. Thanks for having me.

586
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: Yes, of course you are.

587
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: Now you left Fox, You're now onto the Athletic Football Show.

588
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: You get to dive into all the nerdy things uh

589
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL world, and you're back doing a draft

590
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 2: show with Dane Brugler, which, if anybody followed Dave of

591
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: Hellman's career back with the Cowboys, all, this is not.

592
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: The first time you've done a draft show.

593
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: I want to know just about your biggest Week one takeaway,

594
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: like who did we overreact on and who do we

595
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: need to kind of who's the surprise of the week.

596
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: From the NFL season.

597
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 4: You mean, yes, so I.

598
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: Think this synergy here is so perfect, and we actually

599
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: talked about it on The Athletic Football Show heading into

600
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: the weekend. The Indianapolis Colts looked so good in Week one.

601
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: You know, we can make all the jokes with one

602
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: about Daniel Jones and how good he is, and how

603
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: bad it is that Anthony Richardson's not starting for the Colts.

604
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: How much promise this team actually has. All I can

605
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: say is they looked damn good beating the hell out

606
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Now it is a

607
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: valid question the Dolphins might be imploding the vibes I

608
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: seemed terrible in Miami. But guess what. This is the

609
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: beauty of the NFL. It's not college football where you've

610
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: got to wait six weeks to find out how for

611
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 1: real a team is. The Colts play Denver tomorrow, Guys, like,

612
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: what could be a better test than what I think

613
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: is the best defense in the NFL. They gave cam

614
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: Ward a heck of a welcome to the NFL moment

615
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: last week. They were flying around Nick Bonito looks like

616
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: he's ready to make a jump into NFL Defensive Player

617
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: of the Year type conversations. Patzertan has already won that award,

618
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: so clearly this Denver defense is loaded. If Indy I

619
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: don't even need him to win, But if they play

620
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: well in this game and if the offense looks good,

621
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: that is very interesting to me because I don't think

622
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people are talking about the Colts,

623
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: but they got a big They got a big chance

624
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: to make a statement. If they can play well or

625
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: even beat Denver tomorrow.

626
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: Well, what do you need to see from Bow?

627
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: What do I need to see from Bo? I need

628
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: to see Bo make better decisions? And the Tennessee Titans

629
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: have an underrated defense, Like that is a good group

630
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to make again. I don't think you

631
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: ever want to overreact to Week one. But the whole

632
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: thing with Denver is like how good is Bo really?

633
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: And is Bo ready to be the quarterback of a

634
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: team that's going to take the Broncos to another level

635
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: than just losing badly in the wildcard round? And Week

636
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: one was ugly, guys, I think it was two interceptions.

637
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: I think there was a fumble mixed in. The Broncos

638
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: won that game, with four turnovers, which does not happen

639
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That speaks to starting cam Ward, starting

640
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback on the road in week one. I

641
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: don't need him to be a superstar. I need him

642
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: to play cleaner than that, make better decisions than that,

643
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: I think. I think in these defense is probably a

644
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: step down in week two. But yeah, I just I

645
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: need to trust bo Nix more. That's going all the

646
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: way back to his college career. Week one. That made

647
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: me a little uneasy. So play a cleaner game here

648
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: on the road in week two and I'll feel a

649
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: heck of a lot better, all right.

650
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: I got to bring it up. He spent a lot

651
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 4: of time in Dallas.

652
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: They actually did the unthinkable, traded Micah Parsons, and now

653
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: he has just elevated everything about the Green Bay Packers

654
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: defense in the limited role that he's had. What are

655
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: what's the conversation among Cowboys fans right now?

656
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think Cowboys fans are a little more divided

657
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: than you might expect. And let's be clear that the

658
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys bungled this entire thing like they which ironically, as

659
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: we are on the phone right now, it seems like

660
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys might be learning the error of their ways

661
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: because they just made Tyler Smith the highest paid guard

662
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: in football. And that was kind of that was the

663
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys promise in this deal, Like that was their spin

664
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: on it, is, Hey, we can't afford what we want

665
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: to do if we have to pay Micah on top

666
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: of paying Dak and CD. So we'll trade him. We'll

667
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: get some money, flaxability, we'll get some draft picks. Maybe

668
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: we can be a better deeper team for it. And

669
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: in the two weeks since they traded Micah, they locked

670
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: up de Ron Bland and now they've locked up Tyler Smith,

671
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: who I mean, I definitely think Tyler Smith is one

672
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: of the best young offensive linemen in football. So you're

673
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: seeing the Cowboys spin kind of come to fruition where

674
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: they're like, look, we can afford more people, we can

675
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: do more stuff without Micah Parsons. And I think a

676
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: lot of Cowboy fans buy into that, whether it's right

677
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: or wrong, probably because Micah was on several of those

678
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys teams that disappointed in the playoffs. But on the

679
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: foot side of that, even if you buy that narrative,

680
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 1: how can you watch what the Packers are doing and

681
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: feel like this was something that's likely to work out.

682
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: Like the way the way the Cowboys would have to

683
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: navigate this to be better off would be, it would

684
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: be so so impressive when you see what Micah Parsons

685
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: is doing. He's elevating everybody on that Green Bay defense.

686
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: He's picking up where he left off. He looks like

687
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: the best ed trusher in football right now. He's making

688
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: Edrin Cooper and Rashan Gary and Lucas van Ness all

689
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: look like even better players than they already were. And

690
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: maybe we don't want to overreact, but look, green Bay

691
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: has played two games. They beat the best team in

692
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: the NFC from last year and the team that played

693
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC title game in their place after beating them,

694
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: green Bay has a better resume after two games than

695
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: anybody in the NFL could hope to and that carries

696
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: some weight. I mean, they look like they're ready to

697
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: be serious about contending for a Super Bowl, and if

698
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: they do, it's gonna be hard to argue that the

699
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys got the better end of that deal.

700
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 4: Yeah.

701
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that first part that you were

702
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: breaking down sounded like kind of a lot of kopium

703
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: because sure they could be a deeper team and oh

704
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: my gosh, maybe one of those draft picks can actually

705
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: turn into Mico Parsons.

706
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: So it is You're right, Carmen, it is kopium, and like, yeah,

707
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: it's easy for the Cowboys to say, like, oh, well,

708
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: look we can afford more some of these players, we

709
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: can be a more well rounded team. Well, I'd rather

710
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: have one of the best five players in the NFL.

711
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: That's me personally. And this whole thing hinges. You're so right,

712
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: this whole thing hinges on the Cowboys drafting not one,

713
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: but two, like all Pro Hall of Fame caliber players

714
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: with these draft picks, because that's what you gave up

715
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: in Micah Parsons. Jerry Jones loves to bring up his

716
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: famous herschel Walker trade that kind of launched the nineties

717
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: dynasty that Dallas built. The thing is the herschel Walker

718
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: trade landed them Emmitt Smith, who is the most accomplished

719
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: running back of all time, and Darren Woodson, who's one

720
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: of the best defenders in Cowboys history, has a case

721
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame himself. So good luck, Jerry.

722
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: If you think you're capable of finding two Hall of

723
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: famers in the draft be my guest, and if they do,

724
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: good for them. But I think the odds are not great.

725
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: I think the odds suggests that Micah Parsons is going

726
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: to be the better end of that deal.

727
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 4: I love, I love going back to reality with you. Dave.

728
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: All Right, well, thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 4: I really appreciate you joining us.

Speaker 1: Thanks you all have a good one bye.

Speaker 4: Student section is.

745
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 5: No, And that's so funny because they just showed the

00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 5: University of Tennessee and they've done the checkered fan moment

747

00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 4: I think that, yeah, I think talker does that look yeah?

00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 5: Lay listen. I love Moss every day.

751
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 2: I try, especially on college football Saturdays. All right, well

752
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: we are we have our recurring a weekly segment, the

753
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: Dues and the don'ts of the week coming up right now.

754
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 6: Putting a spotlight on the don't the subject brings me

755
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 6: no joy.

756
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: That's insane.

757
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 6: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports.

758
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 2: Okay, Nicky, I'm going to start with a do and

759
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 2: it is going to be do own up to your

760
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: own mistakes, because there's head coach Ben Johnson. Clearly there

761
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: were some mistakes made in that game on Monday.

762
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 4: Night, one of which being.

763
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 2: They had a chance to kind of try and come back,

764
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: and in order to do so, to take advantage of

765
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: the two minute warning, they needed to have their kicker

766
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: kick the ball out of bounds out of the back

767
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: of the end zone.

768
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 4: Basically, there just couldn't have been a return.

769
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: You can even like can get short of the landing

770
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 2: zone and then it's a penalty and they have to

771
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: start at the like the opponent could start the forty

772
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 2: five and cent at forty whatever or forty inside of

773
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: the thirty five. Ben Johnson admitted, after this went horribly awry,

774
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: Kyro Santos hits it exactly into the end zone.

775
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: It does get returned.

776
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: The seconds melt off the clock and the Bears never

777
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: get a chance. They get nine seconds to try and

778
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 2: make something happen when they could have had around a minute. Uh.

779
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: This is one of those things where it was a mistake.

780
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson owned up to it multiple times throughout the week,

781
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: and even as early as late as yesterday, was like, listen,

782
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to keep talking about it, but I'm

783
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: gonna admit I got greedy. I got greedy. I didn't

784
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: want them to have those extra five yards. I wanted

785
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: to keep them. And I should have told them to

786
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: get it out of balance. I should I should have

787
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 2: done something else.

788
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: That was my bad. I needed to know better.

789
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 5: And I appreciate that, okay. And following up on that,

790
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 5: Jean Payton was talking to media this week too, and

791
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 5: he was owning his mistake, quote unquote, taking a responsibility

792
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 5: for bo Nix's interceptions. Do you think that's a coach

793
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 5: protecting his quarterback or do you think Peyton actually could

794
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 5: have been a little bit more prudent in his play calling.

795
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: I think that's still a coach protecting his quarterback, because

796
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 2: when coaches do that to me, I'm like, well, you

797
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: didn't have any direct you're directly doing that. Like yeah,

798
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: you can say that, you can say I should have

799
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: done this that the other to help him out more

800
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: or this whatever. But like Ben Johnson and Ben Johnson's case,

801
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: like that was his call, that was his call to make.

802
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: He shouldn't have done it, and he was like, I

803
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: get it, I'm still learning, and it is. It was

804
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: his first game as head coach, So I'm willing to

805
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 2: give him the benefit of the doubt, especially if he's gonna.

806
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 5: He's got a learning curve. Yeah, okay, okay, I've got

807
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 5: to do and mine is do check your sources. Have

808
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 5: you been following the Clipper scandal at all?

809
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 4: I have?

810
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it's scintillating, Babblo Tory excellent, excellent investigative

811
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 5: journalism by him basically digging up this kind of salary

812
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 5: cap alleged salary cap circumvention scheme that Steve Balmer and

813
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 5: the Clippers might have been involved in when it comes

814
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 5: to paying out Kawhi Leonard an additional I think at

815
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 5: least twenty eight million. I lost track of all the

816
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 5: numbers being floated around. But you know, for every counter

817
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 5: that Balmer had saying and the Clippers saying they didn't

818
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 5: know weren't affiliated, Pablo comes out with a smoking gun.

819
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 5: It's been fascinating. So I really appreciate his digging and

820
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 5: doing all the hard work for us because I'm sack.

821
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 5: I'm sack when it.

822
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: Come yeah, I like and also like when there's a

823
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 2: paper trail like that, that's not that hard to figure out.

824
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: Come on, man, real quick, I got one more, dude,

825
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: Do be a man of the people. Anthony Rizzo is

826
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 2: sitting in the Chicago Cubs bleach jersey's retiring a Cub

827
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: wearing a jersey signed by a bunch of patients visited hospital. Amazing.

Speaker 2: We'll see you on the other side of this. You're

843
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 2: we talked a lot of NFL already. We got to

844
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: it kind of in the beginning of the show, Nikki,

845
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: but I want to dive in a little bit more

846
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: to college right now, because I mean, I'm watching this

847
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: Georgia Tennessee game and George, I mean George is driving

848
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: at this point and we'll see.

849
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 4: But Tennessee just.

850
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: Has some swag or to them this year, and I

851
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: know that's probably like nobody wants to hear that, But

852
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this AP. I want to start there actually,

853
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,959
Speaker 2: because I'm looking at the AP top twenty five pole

854
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: and top five teams, Ohio State and a surprise there,

855
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: Penn State, LSU, Oregon, Miami, My Miami. If you're the

856
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: INCA both you so, I'm I'm looking at the and like,

857
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's early. These are these rankings

858
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 2: were released last week, September seventh.

859
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 4: Ohio State. Do we think that they have the juice

860
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 4: to do it again this year?

861
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 5: I think repeating anytime. I mean, well, college football is

862
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 5: a little bit different, but Ohio State's defense just has

863
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 5: looked so so dominant, and I think if that unit

864
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 5: can carry them even when the offense isn't as I

865
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 5: do think they have some questions offensively that they're you know,

866
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 5: working through. I think they're going to be in the

867
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 5: final four if I'm if I'm putting money on it today,

868
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 5: which I'm not, but I'm very hard eye emoji towards

869
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 5: Oregon at this point, especially especially a PAC twelve former

870
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 5: PAC twelve member myself, same right, you know, I would

871
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 5: love I would love to see the Ducks a top

872
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 5: As we're looking at those top those top five programs

873
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 5: you mentioned, I think Oregon's the most complete. I think

874
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 5: their offense is insane, and I think they have the

875
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 5: most promising resume. Out of that those top five schools.

876
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: It's interesting because I mean, now obviously the Big Ten

877
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: just swallowed up the good teams of the Pac.

878
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 4: Twelve and and some others as well.

879
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 5: The good teams less us LA.

880
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't going to say it.

881
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 5: We're a basketball school. Basketball school.

882
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: The field you have to get through now in the

883
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 2: Big Ten, like I have to think that if you're

884
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: going to be able to contend.

885
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 4: With the SEC.

886
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: And yes, I know Ohio State one one last year,

887
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 2: in Michigan one year before. So it's been all Big

888
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 2: Ten for the last couple of years. But I mean

889
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: it's still when you look at the expanded playoff field

890
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: and you look at the teams that you have to

891
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: get through, I mean, you're already wading through a lot

892
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: of these teams if you're in the Big Ten. So

893
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: like your battle testing at that point. And that's kind

894
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: of been you know, Oregon kind of drops off in

895
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: the postseason or has over the last couple of years,

896
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 2: even though they look dominant and like, here's the thing

897
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: they played Northwestern today. I got my grad degree at Northwestern.

898
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 2: I am very well aware of who Northwestern is as

899
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: a program. They are there. They care too much about

900
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: academics to be any sort of real football program.

901
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 5: I'm fine with you saying that I got waitlisted at Northwestern,

902
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 5: So yeah, care too much about academics. Northwestern not a

903
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 5: football school.

904
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 4: They're not a football school. They just start.

905
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: I mean, even the new stadium their building is only

906
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: going to see it but like thirty something thousand people,

907
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: which I think is the right call because you're never

908
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 2: going to sell out the stadium otherwise. But that being

909
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 2: like Oregon, you know, handed the handled Northwestern very easily.

910
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: You look at what Penn State's doing right now, but

911
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: they're playing Villanova, Like, Yeah, these these other teams in

912
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 2: the Big Ten are the ones that, like.

913
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 4: I think, they're going to kind of beat up on

914
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 4: each other.

915
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: So whoever ends up coming out of the Big Ten

916
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: I think is going to be really well battle tested

917
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: is the point. And so if Oregon is that team,

918
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 2: that's gonna be really interesting. I could see them going

919
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: into the final four.

920
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 4: Two.

921
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: My biggest thing with the AP top five, like of

922
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: the top twenty five and then the top five teams

923
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: that they have that they've ranked.

924
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 4: Do we really think Miami is a top five team?

925
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 5: I think I think a lot of that has to

926
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 5: do with Carson Beck being a third year starting quarterback right,

927
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 5: and I know he was injured last year, but I

928
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,959
Speaker 5: think when they're giving weight to a school and putting

929
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 5: it in the top five and the I mean, who

930
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 5: knows how good that win over Notre Dame could look

931
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 5: in three weeks right right right?

932
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 2: Not to like, yeah, I mean Notre Dame has Texas

933
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 2: A and M and we're going to find out. I

934
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 2: think a lot about about Notre Dame this weekend but

935
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 2: or today, But yeah, I like, I don't know. I

936
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Carsonbeck's body language.

937
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 4: It just kind of bothers me where like, well.

938
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 5: I love a body language doctor.

939
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 4: What is it?

940
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 5: What is it that gets.

941
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 2: It's just like when things are going bad, it's like

942
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: he looks so dejected, like he looked like it's like

943
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 2: compounded on his face when things are like not swinging

944
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: in their direction.

945
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 4: Like I mean, there.

946
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: Hasn't been a whole lot of bad so far they

947
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: are to and no, but like there's been some a

948
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 2: little bit like in that in that Notre Dame game,

949
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 2: there was a little bit of rocky like whatever, and

950
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,399
Speaker 2: I was just like, you know, when the momentum wasn't

951
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 2: in Miami's favor.

952
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 5: I'm a big I'm a big body language reader too.

953
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 5: That okay. Also, can we talk about what went on

954
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 5: with the arch Manning discussion in his face and Steve

955
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 5: Sarkasian's comments about it, like telling reporters not to like

956
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 5: not or to mind their own business.

957
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 4: I like this is because we've seen this happen now.

958
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: More and more, I feel like over the last two years,

959
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 2: and it's it's completely contradictory to how we are now

960
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 2: treating these athletes. Right they are with the nil era

961
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: and the transfer portal.

962
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 4: They are as.

963
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 3: Much professional professionals ever been, yep.

964
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: And if that's going to be the case, then you

965
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 2: have to put them out there too. They have to

966
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: They have to answer for things that happen in a game,

967
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 2: and like whether the pressure is fair or not. That's

968
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: kind of the name of the game. And if you're

969
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: going to be essentially a professional, that comes with the territory.

970
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 5: Well, and a couple of interesting things. I mean, just

971
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 5: so being in LA I do cover UCLA and Deshaun

972
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 5: Foster's media policies. Just keeping media out was kind of crazy, yes,

973
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 5: because it's not a good enough program. I mean, I've

974
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 5: covered programs like the University of Oklahoma, right, and they

975
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 5: run it like a professional, a professional joint there.

976
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 3: You know.

977
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 5: You you go and you talk to what at the

978
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 5: time as Lincoln Riley in on Mondays. You have defensive

979
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 5: coordinators on Wednesdays, blah blah. Anyway, so UCLA just kind

980
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 5: of shutting everyone out. And then the way you know

981
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 5: now having nico Iam Malayava in there, I've seen pieces

982
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 5: written it's like, this is the quarterback UCLA hired, and

983
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 5: that's the correct verbiage, right, it.

984
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 2: Is absolutely it is. I mean, yeah, you talk about

985
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: Bryce Underwood getting ten million dollars just to sign with Michigan,

986
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 2: and like, these are essentially employees and they are I mean,

987
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 2: as much as you want to say they're student athletes

988
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 2: and they are getting an education at these big time

989
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 2: schools with these big time programs.

990
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 4: They are professional programs.

991
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: And I mean LA is the same way, or you

992
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: see USC is the same way as UCLA is.

993
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 4: And I'm like, that's the second largest media market in

994
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 4: the country. You can't get away with that.

995
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 5: And when there's like nine professional teams here too, it's

996
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 5: you want, I mean, and then they're the added you know,

997
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 5: element of losing. It's like, gosh, you you can't be

998
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 5: run in that sort of operation.

999
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: My and my whole thing too is you're not doing

1000
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 2: these guys any favors by sheltering them from that, because

1001
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: if they are that good that they are answering for

1002
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 2: all of that, they're having to answer for all this,

1003
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 2: they are up at the podium after the game, all

1004
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 2: of that kind of stuff.

1005
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 4: This doesn't go away accountable. Ready, I have to go.

1006
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: To the pros and then there is no one that

1007
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 2: is going to field those questions for you or insulate

1008
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: you from any of that.

1009
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 4: You need to learn how to deal with it.

1010
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 2: And oh, I just I think like not getting that

1011
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: practice and not learning how like not being fully media

1012
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: trained in college can hurt guys when they come out.

1013
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 5: And also, okay, this is another you know, this is

1014
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 5: a much bigger picture conversation on the landscape of college football.

1015
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 5: But that's where I take the greatest issue with the

1016
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 5: transfer portal. When things get tough for guys, Okay, I'm

1017
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 5: going to go play somewhere else. And yes, there's a

1018
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 5: lot of freedom in that and opening doors for guys

1019
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 5: to get time, but at the same time, it's like, hey,

1020
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 5: you know sometimes through adversity you need to work and

1021
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 5: sit through it and you know, be patient. So sorry,

1022
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 5: that's my soap box for the day.

1023
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 4: No, I actually love this.

1024
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 2: I mean, like, this is totally this is kind of

1025
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 2: off topic from what we were initially going to talk about,

1026
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 2: but I do like talking about it because listen, NFL

1027
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: scouts will find you if you are a good player,

1028
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 2: they will find you. I promise you, as someone who

1029
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: knows intimately what those departments look like, what the responsibilities

1030
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: of those area scouts are, like, the NFL will find

1031
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: you if you are good enough.

1032
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 4: And so this transfer portal, like.

1033
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: Yes, there is the opportunity to go somewhere where you

1034
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 2: do get to play more and maybe you do get

1035
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 2: to show off your skill set a little bit more,

1036
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 2: and maybe you get more looks from different coaches. But

1037
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 2: the ramifications of that within college programs and coaches in

1038
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 2: particular then having to essentially recruit their own players year

1039
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: in and year out, and there's only so many spots,

1040
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: there are only so many like people that can play

1041
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 2: at once, and I think that there's been a lot Listen,

1042
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 2: recruiting has always been kind of a murky business, right

1043
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 2: like you give out more scholar you promise more scholarships

1044
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 2: than you actually have to give, and like there's some

1045
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: there's a real underbelly to it. That's not the greatest

1046
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 2: thing in the world, but what the transfer portal has done.

1047
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 2: And I don't even know that I'm firmly like against

1048
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 2: the transfer portal. I think I just would like a

1049
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 2: little bit more regulation. Like I think having to make

1050
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: like make guys sit out a year was kind of

1051
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 2: the right maybe the right middle ground there, because it

1052
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 2: makes them kind of think about what they really like

1053
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 2: want and what they they should they should do, rather

1054
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 2: than just like, yeah, the moment things get tough, they

1055
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 2: go into the portal and and try to find a

1056
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 2: better situation, which they you don't even know if it

1057
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: is at the end of the day, Like you could

1058
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: go somewhere and it could be the same thing. And

1059
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 2: I feel like some guys get stuck in this carousel

1060
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 2: of trying to find the right fit and like you

1061
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 2: run out of eligibility in the process. I don't know,

1062
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: It's it's the wild West in college football right now.

1063
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm very interested to see like how they end up

1064
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 2: kind of rains.

1065
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's something, Yeah, something has to shift, right I sense, uh,

1066
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 5: I sense the discussion around it being like, this can't

1067
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 5: this isn't sustainable. Yeah, it's paying guys millions of dollars

1068
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 5: to come play for a year, you know, and and

1069
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 5: so we'll see.

1070
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1071
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 2: I think I honestly think like more than nil being

1072
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 2: the issue, I think that the transfer portal is the

1073
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 2: thing that really kind of turned everything on its head, right,

1074
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: and and just the domino effect of what that's done

1075
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 2: to college football.

1076
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 4: It's really interesting.

1077
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: But I listen, it's still it's still a fun product,

1078
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 2: as evidenced by the games that are on right now

1079
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: FORRS screens right now for screens, for screens, I got

1080
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: a quad box going. It's phenomenal. But we're going to

1081
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: go back to some more NFL conversation. I want to

1082
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 2: talk about the NFC West in particular because you mentioned

1083
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 2: it at the top of the show, Nikki. That's that

1084
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 2: division I think is sneaky stacked for like it's not

1085
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: being talked about enough.

1086
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 4: We are going to talk about it. Right on the

1087
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 4: other side of this, you're listening to Fox Football Saturday,

1088
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 4: all right. So we had like Stadium Rock Techno coming.

Speaker 5: Out now it's easy listening.

1090
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 2: And now I got some easy listening. I love this.

1091

Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, Carmen Vitali here, got Nicky Kay with me,

1093
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 2: vibing out on this college football Saturday, having some fun,

1094
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: talking some football.

1095
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 4: It's great.

1096
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 5: Settle for a field goal on that last drive.

1097
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 4: They sure did so.

1098
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 2: It's still twenty one, seventeen thirty seconds out from halftime.

1099
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 4: Am I behind?

1100
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 5: I don't know, Yeah, no, no, no, no, yeah, I've got

1101
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 5: twenty seven seconds over here. Okay, Tennessee, yep, all right.

1102
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 2: Well, I want to go back to the NFL because

1103
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 2: we talked about I've talked quite a bit about the

1104
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 2: NFC North and how it's one of those divisions that

1105
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 2: I just think is up for grabs. It's a very

1106
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 2: tough division. I think it's the best division of football.

1107
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 2: There's quite a few conversations to have around that. But

1108
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 2: I think what a sneak like, A sneaky division that

1109
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 2: I think is pretty up in the air, and maybe

1110
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: a little bit less so now that the forty nine

1111
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: ers have all of these century issues.

1112
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 5: Already crazy already like I don't know what's going on

1113
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 5: in San Francisco.

1114
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 2: There's something in the water. Good Lord, Like, I just

1115
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. Losing Brock Party especially like the thing

1116
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: is too going into the season, You're like, Oh, we're

1117
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 2: gonna get Christian McCaffrey back, the offense is gonna be

1118
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: a full strength. No, we don't have deepot Sammy anymore,

1119
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 2: but that's okay, Like things are gonna be fine, the

1120
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 2: defense is gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be fine, and

1121
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 2: like it's been anything but fine. And the NFC West

1122
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 2: I think is completely up for grabs unless I don't know.

1123
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: Do you, Nikky, you cover this team very closely? Do

1124
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 2: you think this is the Rams division to lose?

1125
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 5: I mean, that's how I feel. But I think the

1126
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 5: biggest question mark around the Rams dominance would be a

1127
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 5: healthy Matthew Stafford, which is a huge question mark.

1128
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 2: The airstream airstream theories, right, I don't know.

1129
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 4: You bring out the.

1130
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 9: Airstream and I'm just I'm skeptical and okay, But also

1131
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 9: then I look at I mean, the confidence when you

1132
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 9: have a man like Sean McVay running the shows, that

1133
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 9: also adds.

1134
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 5: A lot of you know, belief in and around the franchise.

1135
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 5: I have a question for you, who do you if

1136
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 5: you had to ask today, who do you think the

1137
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 5: best coach in the NFL is? Who would you say? First?

1138
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 5: Probably Kevin O'Connell, Right, I would say Cee and I

1139
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 5: would probably go McVeigh O'Connell one two.

1140
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 2: I mean, to be fair, O'Connell came from the mcmah tree.

1141
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 5: So like, but people say the McVeigh tree, is it

1142
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,479
Speaker 5: really the Shanahan tree.

1143
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always I always call it the Shanahan mcmartree

1144
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 2: because like it started with Kyle and yeah, you.

1145
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 5: Know that la arrogance. We refer to the McVeigh tree

1146
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 5: heavily around here. But yeah, it is really the Shanahan tree.

1147
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

1148
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 2: I put McVeigh in there, but no, I mean I

1149
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: would say it's it's Kevin O'Connell and just but like,

1150
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 2: it's more for his ability to develop players, to galvanize

1151
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: a team, to create a scheme than it is form

1152
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 2: from like or like all the adjustments that he's able

1153
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 2: to make than it is like for the scheme itself.

1154
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 5: Is what I meant to say, Like, yeah, and then

1155
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 5: you can say McVeigh the arguably since the Patriots lost

1156
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 5: has lost, has really fine tuned his ability to make

1157
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 5: in game adjustments all uh Andy Reid, Right, Yes.

1158
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gotten a lot better than and I mean

1159
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 2: I feel like McVeigh also learned to delegate a lot

1160
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: more when it comes to especially defensively, and like that

1161
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 2: has paid dividends with like the young players they have

1162
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 2: on that defensive line especially, and I mean this was

1163
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 2: this is a good team. This is very talented team,

1164
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 2: albeit still young outside of Matthew Stafford at the quarterback,

1165
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 2: who is now one of the oldest No.

1166
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 5: And their their defensive front is like I mean like

1167
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 5: Gong Gos Aaron Donald and this just they just refill

1168
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 5: it with tons of talent. It's been really fun to

1169
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 5: watch too.

1170
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 4: I thought it was really prescient of them too.

1171
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 5: Oh I love that word. Wait can you what does

1172
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 5: that mean?

1173
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 4: Like it was like looking forward, Like it was very

1174
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 4: like yes, future casting, Yes, it.

1175
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 2: Was future yes, like knowing to like knowing that they

1176
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: could not replace Aaron Donald one for one, right, it

1177
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 2: was like we need that whole line to make up

1178
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: for that loss, and like they went out they got

1179
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: multiple guys in last year's draft, then you ended up with,

1180
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 2: you know, the defensive rookie of the year.

1181
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 4: I want, I like, do we think the Cardinals are

1182
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 4: a little bit of a sleeper? I don't know, how

1183
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 4: wide are you about the Cardinals if you're the Ramps.

1184
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1185
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 5: I mean, it's very hard for me to ever to

1186
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 5: ever like say that sentence out loud.

1187
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: The vibes seem kind of good though around Arizona right now,

1188
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. Like the vibes seem kind of good.

1189
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 2: You're calling try McBride, tray kwan. I don't know, Like

1190
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: it's fun.

1191
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 5: Yeah it is. It is fun. And you know what,

1192
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 5: if there's any like give me, give me a good

1193
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 5: sleeper storyline any at any point during the NFL season,

1194
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 5: Like I I actually truly do enjoy those.

1195
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, I do, I do too.

1196
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 2: I mean and granted there when last in Week one

1197
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 2: came over the New Orleans Saints and things are just

1198
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 2: talking about vibes.

1199
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 5: Being well and apparently okay, So their matchup with Carolina

1200
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 5: this this week, apparently the Panthers have a historic run

1201
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 5: of dominance over the Cardinals. I think they won like

1202
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 5: fifteen out of their last twenty one meetings something along

1203
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 5: those lines, very skewed. But I was like, wow, talk

1204
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 5: about two programs with big, big expectations.

1205
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was.

1206
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: Gonna say they're like they're they're scrapping at the bottom usually,

1207
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 2: but no, And then that leaves the Seahawks when we're

1208
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 2: talking about the NFC West, and I don't I mean, granted,

1209
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: it's only week two, so I don't know that I

1210
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 2: should know what to make with the make of the Seahawks,

1211
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 2: But like, I don't know what to make of the

1212
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 2: Seahawks quite yet, because like I think Mike McDonald's a

1213
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 2: great coach after you like, you know what he did

1214
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 2: in Baltimore, like and defensively, I just I don't know.

1215
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 4: They didn't look good against.

1216
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 2: The Niners, and I like, we don't and maybe that's

1217
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 2: because like the Niners, I think are a good team.

1218
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: They just the injury bug is just horrendous. But I

1219
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 2: mean that was a seventeen.

1220
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,439
Speaker 5: Thirteen and then yeah, I what do you think? I mean,

1221
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 5: not that much can be gleaned from it. But like

1222
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, you know, to running back situation, like did

1223
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 5: you think they went with the right choice in their

1224
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 5: one two combo.

1225
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

1226
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 2: I mean it's way too early to tell, right, Like,

1227
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: but like what you do need to do is you

1228
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 2: do need to give Sam Donald something to lean on

1229
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to that. I don't know that that

1230
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: offensive line and that was like my biggest concern about

1231
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 2: the Seahawks coming into the season was like, is that

1232
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 2: offensive line good enough to for Sam Donald to continue

1233
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 2: his like upward ascension that he started in Minnesota. Yeah,

1234
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,439
Speaker 2: and like Minnesota's line last year, the interior was not great.

1235
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you had a really good tackle tandem before

1236
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 2: Christian Darisa got hurt, and but like you saw Sam

1237
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 2: Donald gain confidence, and I'm like, are we just gonna

1238
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 2: you know, is that going to go away now in Seattle?

1239
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 2: And again it's too early to tell, but they do

1240
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 2: get the Steelers, Yeah this week, and we're going to

1241
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 2: talk to Adam I mean right at the other side

1242
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 2: of this update break about it. But yeah, I mean,

1243
01:00:56,200 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 2: now you're going against a pretty scary defensive.

1244
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 4: Front that like, I don't know, I don't know what

1245
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 4: to make of.

1246
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 2: The Seahawks on the whole, Like if they're gonna gonna

1247
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 2: be a sneaky team that hangs around or whatever. But

1248
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 2: I agree with you where I think that this is

1249
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 2: probably still the Rams.

1250
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 4: Division to lose.

1251
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I and that always makes things more exciting here

1252
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles. I mean, and then if you pair

1253
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 5: it with a potential Chargers team, that's.

1254
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, what the heck?

1255
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 6: You know?

1256
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 5: I mean, Justin Herbert, are you arguably the best game

1257
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 5: of his career?

1258
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 4: Like, I don't think that's hyperboles.

1259
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's gonna start paying off with Harbaugh

1260
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 2: as the coach, right, and like you know, it is

1261
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 2: balanced offense, and I think he's found something in like

1262
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 2: how to unlock everything about Justin Herbert and the rest

1263
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 2: of the team and Joe.

1264
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 5: All I mean filling in for Shawn Slater, like he

1265
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 5: he stepped up in a big way. But I still

1266
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 5: think this Chargers offense is going to have a lot

1267
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 5: of question with the weapons, right, Like, is is Keenan

1268
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 5: Allen going to be consistent you know, to to lat McConkey,

1269
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 5: And then like how are you going to replace? Mean,

1270
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 5: I think we saw little signs of it in that

1271
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 5: season opener, but JK. Dobbins gone, is it? Omar and

1272
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 5: Hampton and in Naji Harris, I know is limited with

1273
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 5: that eye injury, are coming back from the eye injury,

1274
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 5: but like it's it's they're going to have to have

1275
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 5: consistent production and Herbert's going to have to keep that

1276
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 5: Superman capon I had a lot of.

1277
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 4: People had a drop crush on Omari and Hampton.

1278
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I saw like, and I have to think that,

1279
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 2: you know, Jim Harbond knows what to do, and like

1280
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 2: there were flashes in that in that game one or

1281
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: week one game where like a Mari and Hampton. I

1282
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 2: was like, huh, go figure, Jim Harbord knows how to

1283
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 2: pick running backs. It kind of tapered off towards the

1284
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 2: end there, but like, I have to think that that's.

1285
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 4: Going to get going.

1286
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 2: And maybe it's just the shuffling of the offensive line.

1287
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 2: You have to take that into consideration as well. But

1288
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Joe Altman, Yeah, I mean you

1289
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,439
Speaker 2: found a foundational offensive lineman in him.

1290
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 5: Prescient.

1291
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were really you know again, I trust Jim Harbor.

1292
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 2: I trust Jim Harbaugh with running backs. I trust Jim

1293
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 2: Harbaugh with offensive lineman.

1294
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 5: I trust him to never fully answer a question. That's

1295
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 5: what I'm learning there.

1296
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 4: You go.

1297
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 5: Give me a good saying though any day.

1298
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,919
Speaker 2: Jim absolutely, Oh yeah, give me a one liner any day.

1299
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

1300
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 2: And and maybe we can get another one liner out

1301
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 2: of Martin Weiss, Martin, what do you got for there

1302

01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 2: West sort of because our good friend play by Play

1348

Speaker 2: Extraordinaire part time DJ Adam is joining us and he

1349
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 2: will be calling.

1350
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Seattle tomorrow.

1351
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 2: Adam, thank you so much for making time for us

1352
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 2: through all of your prep and everything that you're doing.

1353
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 4: How are you, my friend, doing great?

1354
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 10: Guys? How are you guys doing?

1355
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 2: Oh so good, so good to hear your brother in

1356
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 2: the dream we were talking about like how we don't

1357
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 2: really know what to make of Seattle yet, which again

1358
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:22,919
Speaker 2: it's weak two.

1359
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 4: I probably don't know.

1360
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 2: I don't have to know what's going on with the

1361
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 2: Seahawks quite yet, but some thrilling stuff in Pittsburgh last week,

1362
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 2: as Aaron Rodgers got to take on his former team

1363
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 2: and get that revenge.

1364
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 4: Uh, what do you What's what's the.

1365
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 2: Biggest thing that you're looking for in this game, Adam,

1366
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 2: when you're looking at these storylines, are the Steelers for

1367
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 2: real with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback?

1368
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 10: I think the marriage between Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers

1369
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 10: is probably the thing that folks here in Pittsburgh are

1370
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 10: going to track for the rest of the year. Just

1371
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 10: how did it work? What's the kind of a chain

1372
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,959
Speaker 10: of command in this? You know, this is a true

1373
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 10: Arthur Smith play action based offense, you know, and I

1374
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 10: think you know, there was a three year period where

1375
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 10: Arthur was the head coach in Atlanta where it just

1376
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 10: felt like he had the right concepts in mind. I

1377
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 10: think he probably got a bad rap there because the

1378
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 10: quarterback play not being as good in his last couple

1379
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 10: of seasons. But last year in Pittsburgh, he's got Justin Fields,

1380
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 10: he's got Russell Wilson, He's got to navigate a couple

1381
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 10: of different styles of quarterback and they're still able to,

1382
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 10: you know, win ten games. Not a lot of that

1383
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 10: has to do with their defense, but to get a

1384
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 10: guy like Aaron Rodgers who thrives in play action. Three

1385
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 10: of his four touchdown passes last week around play action plays.

1386
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 10: He's got, you know, real skill guys around him. I think,

1387
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 10: you know, janeuz Smith is somebody that Arthur Smith really likes.

1388
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 10: DK metcalf is playing his former team Battle. He's obviously

1389
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 10: got to get a little bit more involved. I think

1390
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 10: there's some promise here. For a team to put up

1391
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 10: thirty plus in their first outing together was pretty impressive,

1392
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 10: so I will be curious to see how that works

1393
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 10: going forward. They're playing a little bit of I think

1394
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 10: a pretty solid defense, a team that's probably going to

1395
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 10: live off their defense in Seattle this season. So that's

1396
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 10: kind of what we're taking a look at thirty thousand feet,

1397
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 10: you know, perspective wise tomorrow.

1398
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 5: Adam, I've got two questions for you here. First of all,

1399
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 5: when are you opening for John Summit?

1400
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 10: When the answer to that is, whenever you tell the

1401
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 10: people that you know that this needs to happen, that's

1402
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 10: when that's happening.

1403
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 5: And like, pull back the current a little bit here,

1404
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 5: how hard is it actually to learn how to DJ?

1405
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 5: I'll tell you every man in Los Angeles thinks he's

1406
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 5: in aspiring DJ so I want to know actually the

1407
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 5: art to it. I'm fascinated.

1408
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 10: I started doing it when I was thirteen, and I

1409
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 10: started doing it on vinyl, like on real vinyl records

1410
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 10: and everything like that. I had to learn how to

1411
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 10: do it. If my brother bought me a par of

1412
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 10: turntables in a mixture when I was thirteen, I you know,

1413
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 10: we had to learn how to you know, use CD

1414
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 10: mixers and CD players as a DJ equipment. As the

1415
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 10: years went on, I used those when I was working weddings,

1416
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:11,640
Speaker 10: I was working homecoming dances, I was working proms, I

1417
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 10: was doing events all over you know, the suburbs. Like

1418
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 10: That's how it paid for my first year of college basically.

1419
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 10: So I did it professionally for a while, and then

1420
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 10: I enjoyed playing at clubs and I wanted to get

1421
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 10: back into it. And as Carmen knows, she was there

1422
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 10: for the first club gig I played in fact two

1423
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 10: years ago. When I got back into it, it was

1424
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 10: I had to relearn all the equipment, and I had

1425
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 10: to relearn all the technology because it's advanced significantly in

1426
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 10: the last you know, ten years since I had basically

1427
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 10: stopped doing it. So it's still music though I grew

1428
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 10: up on music. I played the violin from the time

1429
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 10: I was six in the car when I was twelve.

1430
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 10: I learned the piano about five years ago. Like, the

1431
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 10: music's always been a part of my life, so relearning

1432
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 10: the music was not a problem. It was just relearning

1433
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 10: the technology.

1434
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 5: Adam, what don't you do?

1435
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 4: That's for real?

1436
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 5: Though I appreciate that that is incredible. It's officially on

1437
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 5: my on my list to get to one of your gigs.

1438
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 5: I think that's awesome and I'm really proud of you too.

1439
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 5: I know that's not an easy thing to just dive

1440
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 5: back into, so that's that's epic. But Adam, I want

1441
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 5: I know you do Bulls play by play Chicago Bulls

1442
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,719
Speaker 5: play by play when you're not calling NFL games, which

1443
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,759
Speaker 5: is also incredible, an incredible testament to your your range.

1444
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 5: But I just want to get your thoughts on on

1445
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 5: what's going on with the Clippers and Steve Baumer's connection

1446
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 5: to an alleged salary caps are convention there with Aspiration

1447
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 5: and Kawhi Leonard.

1448
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 10: This is a fascinating story and I know a lot

1449
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,560
Speaker 10: of people following it the way you know that Pablotory

1450
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 10: has been kind of breaking it along on his podcast

1451
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,799
Speaker 10: and kind of following along with it. It's very weird

1452
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 10: to kind of consider this. This is something that happens

1453
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 10: when you get to like just the highest levels of

1454
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 10: possible networks, and this is where money gets funneled to.

1455
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 10: I would be curious to know if this happens in

1456
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 10: other sports and other organizations. Do I like, does it

1457
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 10: affect what I do for a living day to day.

1458
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:12,440
Speaker 10: Probably not, but I do think it's a very strange circumstance.

1459
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 10: And I imagine there are owners around the NBA. Imagine

1460
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 10: there are general managers in particular around the NBA who

1461
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 10: have to deal with a second apron. This last you know,

1462
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 10: these last few years of the new CBA with his

1463
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 10: second apron, it's kind of hamstrung a lot of different

1464
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 10: NBA franchises and trying to dying guys. I'm okay with

1465
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 10: that because I think that helps the parity of the

1466
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 10: league and the distribution of talent. But this is a

1467
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 10: way to circumvent that. If all of this is, you know,

1468
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 10: all of the stuff that's allegedly been put out there

1469
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 10: is true, this helps circumvent some of that. So for

1470
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 10: teams that are struggling with salary cap issues second Apron

1471
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 10: deal over the last couple of years. I imagine they

1472
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 10: would be very frustrated by that. I again, I'm looking

1473
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 10: at it from a very very wide perspective, but I

1474
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 10: get the feeling that that's a conversation that's being had,

1475
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 10: not just on the air between us right now.

1476
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 2: It's interesting pot latory. I just tweeted out the eyeball images.

1477
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 2: Uh oh, we got another dump coming, and I'm like,

1478
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 2: oh God, what else is coming.

1479
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 4: It's interesting though, because I mean.

1480
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 2: Theoretically all of that stuff that's been done with the

1481
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 2: CBA has worked. When you look at the parody that

1482
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 2: has increased in the league. When you look at the

1483
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 2: last few champions in the NBA, it's all been different.

1484
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 2: You finally kind of after years and years of like

1485
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 2: kind of the same teams, now you're getting a lot

1486
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 2: of parody. And I think that's a net good.

1487
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 10: I want to say, it's been seven straight years with

1488
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 10: a different NBA champion at six or seven something like that.

1489
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 10: So too, this is one of the longer stretches we've

1490
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:45,839
Speaker 10: seen probably in forty years basically, So I appreciate it, especially,

1491
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 10: you know, working for a franchise that is in a

1492
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 10: major market but hasn't really been as competitive as they'd

1493
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 10: like to be. In the last parody, I do think

1494
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 10: that it's good for the league to feel like you

1495
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 10: need parody. I think it's good to see teams like

1496
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 10: Indiana and Oklahoma City smaller you know, quote quote unquote,

1497
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 10: smaller market teams that obviously have very passionate fan bases

1498
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 10: and have organizations that want to invest in them. But

1499
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 10: to see smaller market teams be able to make this

1500
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 10: type of playoff push that we just saw and have

1501
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 10: a pretty good shot at retaining a lot of their

1502
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 10: assets and a lot of the players that they want

1503
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 10: to keep around for a little while.

1504
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 4: Now.

1505
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 10: I know Sam Presty has kind of played this we

1506
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 10: heard Houdini act with being able to stash draft picks

1507
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 10: and save it for just this time. We're now, you know,

1508
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 10: all this effort over a ten year period basically has

1509
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 10: come to fruition and led to a championship. I do

1510
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 10: like the parody in the league right now, and you know,

1511
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 10: we get to Major League Baseball, it does feel like

1512
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 10: there is parody, but it's so randomized because of the

1513
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 10: shorter baseball series and you have a three game wildcard,

1514
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 10: you have a five game division series. You know, the

1515
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 10: best team doesn't always win in Major League Baseball. You

1516
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 10: have to get into the postseason and then be the

1517
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 10: hottest team and that's how you get you know, Arizona

1518
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 10: getting to the World Series two years ago. I think

1519
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 10: in the NBA it's less randomized. I think the skill

1520
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 10: and the best talent usually went out. So for the

1521
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 10: parody to be a parent in the NBA is probably

1522
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 10: a little bit more important than maybe some other sports.

1523
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fascinating. All right, real quick, what are you

1524
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 2: What are you getting it for dinner in Pittsburgh tonight?

1525
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, Well see this is a little pull back

1526
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 10: at the curtain. Like usually, like Friday nights, our crew

1527
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 10: goes out. We did Argentinian and Argentinian steakhouse last night,

1528
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 10: So Gotchapinia if you ever in Pittsburgh, it's really really good.

1529
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 10: But tonight Saturday is when we have our big production

1530
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,480
Speaker 10: meeting that we're just hanging out at our hotel. We're

1531
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 10: locking ourselves into a room. We watch all the tape pieces,

1532
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 10: we look at all the graphics, We plan out what

1533
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 10: we might want to say in the open and then

1534
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,719
Speaker 10: once kickoff comes, we basically all out the window depending

1535
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 10: on what happens in the game. So that's what we're

1536
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 10: looking forward to here in the next half hour.

1537
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 4: All right, well, let's just get some Primani brothers to

1538
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 4: live it or something. I don't know. Adam, have so

1539
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 4: much fun tomorrow. Call in the game. Really appreciate your time.

1540
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 4: We'll talk to you soon.

1541
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 1: Thanks, charm Thanks Nick, Adam, I mean.

1542
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 2: Play by play, Like you said, does basketball, he does football,

1543

Speaker 2: and I couldn't be happier about it, quite honestly. And

1567
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 2: what else I couldn't be happier about this is like

1568
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 2: I love the ending the show with this segment, the

1569
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 2: LOL moment of the week, l L, because.

1570
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 5: We all need to laugh, you know. I'll start us

1571
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 5: off here.

1572
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I want you to start off

1573
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 2: what what was your what made you laugh this week?

1574
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 5: So this is a little bit relevant because Texas just

1575
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 5: scored over uteb arch Manning running it in for Thishong.

1576
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Texas Twitter is melting down right now,

1577
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 2: okaying melting down.

1578
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 5: Speaking of Texas Twitter, I alluded to this earlier in

1579
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 5: the show, but I didn't have the exact quote in

1580
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 5: front of me, so I didn't want to misquote our

1581
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 5: our good old ball coach Stark here. But earlier this week,

1582
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 5: you know, in response to Texas Twitter people had noticed

1583
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 5: arch Manning grimacing when he was throwing the ball, you know,

1584
01:16:55,760 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 5: and so some reporter followed up on that those out

1585
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 5: and asked coach if if arch Manning was dealing with

1586
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 5: an injury, and instead of start just responsing responding normally,

1587
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,599
Speaker 5: he he resorted to some toilet humor, quite literally, saying

1588
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 5: he doesn't have any injuries. I don't know. I've never

1589
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 5: filmed any of you guys when you're using the bathroom,

1590
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 5: so I don't know what kind of faces you're making

1591
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 5: when you are doing that.

1592
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 4: So I don't know what arch Manning is throwing a

1593
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 4: foot right right?

1594
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 5: I right right? This is most like it's kind of

1595
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 5: like a weird lol, like bro, what.

1596
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that still makes me laugh.

1597
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 5: Laugh Like it's not that deep. It's not that deep.

1598
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, No, I mean Texas Twitter right now in

1599
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 2: real come melting down everything about how Texas isn't good enough,

1600
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 2: Arch isn't good enough.

1601
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 4: This is supposed to be a tune up game, and

1602
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 4: it's true. It's UTEP, it's UTEP.

1603
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: If you have serious title aspirations, yes, then you should

1604
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 2: be handling this no problem.

1605
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 5: And I mean that was heralded as a preseason Heisman favorite.

1606
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:06,759
Speaker 5: Without everything, this is crazy.

1607
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 4: That's why I don't like, you know, assigning.

1608
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 2: I get that, you know, the bloodline and all of

1609
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, and you he's had every resource

1610
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 2: available to him, but like, at the end of the day,

1611
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 2: what let the kid do something first before you crown him.

1612
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 2: I just that's not that's not fair. Mine is also

1613
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 2: collegeable related. Actually, before I get to my actual one,

1614
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 2: I just because I just saw this on Blue Sky

1615
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 2: the Organ Duck, because I mean, at that point in

1616
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 2: the game of three minutes left in the fourth quarter,

1617
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 2: uh Organ was up thirty four to seven on Northwestern,

1618
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 2: and the Organ Duck decided to get some reading done

1619
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 2: and was reading The Fourth Ring, the Fourth Wing book

1620
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 2: leaning up against like a little thing on the sideline.

1621
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 5: This duck is causing a lot of headlines this season.

1622
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 2: Who knew was into you know, the the I don't

1623
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 2: know what what do people call the I mean it's

1624
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,879
Speaker 2: book talk. Yeah, he's like or the Oregon Duck officially

1625
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 2: is on book talk if they're reading, if he's reading

1626
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 2: Fourth Wing, hilarious, No, Okay, So my actual one though,

1627
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 2: is it happened this morning. Alabama head coach Kaylen Debora

1628
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 2: was on college Game Day, uh phoning in for an

1629
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 2: interview from Tuscaloosa, and as he was being interviewed, the

1630
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 2: crowd around game day started doing the FSU war chant

1631
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 2: like they are not Like Kaylan was obviously getting ready,

1632
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 2: He's in Tuscalusa getting ready for Wisconsin. Game Day was

1633
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 2: not there. This was on a TV screen, but they

1634
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 2: did it loud enough that the mics were all picking

1635
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 2: it up. So as Kaylen debor is doing this interview,

1636
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 2: they are doing the FSU war chant and it is

1637
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, it is an elite level trolling job for

1638
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,520
Speaker 2: those that don't know. Alabama lost to it then unranked

1639
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:52,799
Speaker 2: FSU at Florida State program and we two weeks ago,

1640
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 2: and I mean Florida now that law. I mean not

1641
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 2: that that loss isn't bad for Alabama. And I still

1642
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 2: think that Kaylen to momore is very much on the

1643
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 2: hot seat there. But Florida State looks a lot better

1644
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 2: than we maybe thought they were, so I don't know,

1645
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:08,719
Speaker 2: they could be a sneaky.

1646
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 5: This is why we love game.

1647
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 4: We love it.

1648
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 2: I was I was laughing hysterically. I'm like, you know

1649
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 2: what that is, just that it's because there's there's layers

1650
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: to it and he's not even there. And even then

1651
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 2: when they decided to do the preview for Alabama Wisconsin, Uh,

1652
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 2: the crowd started doing it again. So like it's I

1653
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 2: love college football fans, I love college football.

1654
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 4: The tradition of all of this is exactly why we

1655
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 4: do it.

1656
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,080
