1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man that time of week.

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: My name is Bernie Frownle. We are come to your

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: line for the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas.

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Will take up to three am Pacific six am Eastern.

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: And as usual, I've got about eight hours of material.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: We'll try to squeeze it into four. We're gonna cover

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: it all. And then there was one. There is one

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: day left in the regular season of the National Football

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: League and things aren't quite yet decided. We're gonna get

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: to all that tonight as well, but I want to

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: throw some flowers to the Emerald City for the fourth

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 2: time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks. Yes, they are

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the NFC, and the last

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: three times, if you're scoring at home, or even if

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: you're just by yourself, the last three times the Seahawks

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: were the number one seed, they made the Super Bowl

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: up to Mike McDonald and company. In three short years,

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: they've turned to moribund franchise. Pete Carroll left in the

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: trash and a new offensive coordinator, a new quarterback, a

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: new culture, physical latitude, and there you have it. Where

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: you watch other organizations like the Raiders stumble around like

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: a drunk crossing and icy street for two decades. The

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks are the number one seed. Look where they

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: wore three years ago. Not only that, they clinched their

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: first fourteen win season in franchise history with a pretty

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: dominant beat down of a pretty damn good forty nine

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: Er team who'd been hot, and the forty nine Ers

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: had him at home at Levi Stadium on Saturday, and

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: that earns the Seahawks home field advantage in the NFC.

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: By the way, for you, history buffs the matchup Saturday

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: night between the Seahawks and forty nine Ers first ever

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: regular season finale in league history in which you had

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: a situation where you had two teams entering, both teams

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: entering having won their last six games, and by the way,

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: before Saturday Night's loss, Dan Anders had won seven of

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: their last eight games. Between these two teams, and I

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: think there are some things that stick out to me

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: that are very noteworthy. Let's start with Sam Donald's redemption.

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: People just won't let this guy go. He's a good quarterback,

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: he always has been, and he hung around and he's

42
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: proved it to everybody. He's one over his teammates. Everywhere's

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: been now we get it. Last season, Sam struggled in

44
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: the critical game, the critical final two weeks of the

45
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: season for the Vikings. First they lost to the Detroit

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Lions that cost him the NFC North title, and then

47
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: the NFC wild card game against the Rams was just

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: a complete debacle. And in those two games, Donald completed

49
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: fifty three percent of his pass as a combined four

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: hundred eleven yards, one touchdown, two turnover, sacked eleven times,

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: a sixty six passer rating. Yeah, we're talking about Sam Donal,

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: not shoot or Standers, everybody's favorite hero. However, Donald started

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: on the road to redemption a couple of weeks ago

54
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: that thirty eight to thirty seven overtime victory against the

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: Rams by overcoming a couple of second half interceptions and

56
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: going on to win an overtime. Look are winning without

57
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: having to go to overtime or whatever whatever it was.

58
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: Work with me, you know what I meant the great

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: two point conversion in the same situation in week eighteen,

60
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: you know, in need of a victory to get the

61
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 2: number one seed. Donald was smart. You know he leaned

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: down a strong running game in a nasty defense. But

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: he did his part twenty twenty six a buck ninety

64
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: eight touchdown efficiently, and more importantly, didn't turn the ball

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: over once. And the truth of the matter is his

66
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: teammates do have his back. And there's an old saying

67
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: in life, it's not what happens, it's how you react.

68
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: I think how Sam Donald has reacted has been admirable.

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: But what was even more noticeable is that the Seahawks

70
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: just didn't beat the forty nine Ers. They bullied them.

71
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: That one two running back punch of of Charbonnet and

72
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker. The third one went to Michigan, the other

73
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: went to Michigan State. How about that they ran the

74
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: ball all over San Francisco's defense for the minute they

75
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: got off the bus. They had one hundred and eighty

76
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: yards for the game. And this is a team and

77
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers they'd just been allowing like one

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 2: hundred and three yards a game. Number six in the NFL.

79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Walker had ninety seven. And what that did was control

80
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: the clock and keep San franz offense off the field,

81
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: and they held the forty nine. If you would have

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: told me last night. At this time, the Niners would

83
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: have been held to three points Saturday night. I wouldn't

84
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: have believed it. During their six game winning streaks which

85
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: I just alluded to, the Naers had been averaging thirty

86
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: six points a game. So there's that. Football played in

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: three phases and Seattle's won't we won't talk about the

88
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: kicking game didn't ended up not mattering. But Seattle's defense

89
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: completely bottle up Christian McCaffrey. And that's saying something. Seattle.

90
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: They ran the ball and they stopped the run. Sounds

91
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: like a real, you know, formula for a team that

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: is very much on the short list to get to

93
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, very much on the short list. Christian

94
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: McCaffrey entered Saturday's Saturday Nights game with about twenty one

95
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 2: hundred yards from scrimmage in seventy touchdowns. He's the only

96
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: player in history other than well Ladanian Tomlinson. They have

97
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: three seasons of at least two thousand scrimmy charge and

98
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: fifteen touchdowns. However, Seattle showed you can't stop Christian McCaffrey.

99
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: You have to tackle him. You have to wrap them up,

100
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: which is another thing Seattle does incredibly well. They tackle

101
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: in space. They don't try to blow you up, they

102
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: don't try to play ring around the rosie your neck

103
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: and drag you down stupid. They hit you, they wrap

104
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: you up, They drive you under the ground with bad intentions.

105
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: Twenty three rushing yards McCaffrey had, they couldn't get anything going.

106
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: And then that crazy drop pass near the end zone

107
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: that Seattle's linebacker Drake Thomas picked off that basically completely

108
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: sealed the game and broke the Niners back. So what's next, Well,

109
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: the Seahawks they head back home, maybe to enjoy a

110
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: little ivers fish and a week off and get some rest,

111
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: lick their wounds, and they'll find out who they play

112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: in the divisional round. Meanwhile, Sandfran, now they got a regroup.

113
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to hit the road for an NFC

114
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: wildcard round. And if the Rams lose to the Cardinals tomorrow,

115
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: well the Niners. They'll face the winner of the NFC South.

116
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: But if the Rams win in their fourteen point favorites

117
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: over Arizona, San Fran gets to visit either the Eagles

118
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: or the Bears. I don't think they would enjoy either one.

119
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: And I'm about I'm gonna give my props to Kyle

120
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: Shanahan later in the show how he did it this

121
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: year with duct tape and glue and scotch tape. Huge props.

122
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: And I really thought they'd find to wait Saturday night,

123
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: but I was wrong. Meanwhile, all you gotta just win Carolina,

124
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: that's all. Well, you know, I saw a bumper sticker once.

125
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: Anything's possible if you don't have to do it, and

126
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: they didn't. The Bucks hang on to live another day.

127
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: They beat the Panther sixteen fourteen. That means we're gonna

128
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: have to wait till tomorrow Sunday to find out who

129
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: will be crowned NFCSOU champion. Tampa Bay does hold the

130
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: timebreaker over Carolina with both sitting at eight and nine,

131
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: and before we scoff at an eight nine team make

132
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: of the playoffs. I get it, it's not the best look.

133
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: Remember the day beast Wood was born. The eight and

134
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: nine Seahawks in the twenty ten season, I believe it

135
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: was January twenty eleven, hosted the defending world champion New

136
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: Orleans Saints. Saints were seven point favorites and the Seahawks

137
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: beat them like a rended Mule that day and that

138
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: day Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch was born. So an eight

139
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: and nine team could win just if they get a

140
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: game at home. But if the Falcons beat the Saint

141
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon, we'll have a three way tie at the top.

142
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: And in that scenario it's the Panthers who would advance

143
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: despite losing in a very disappointing fashion on Saturday afternoon

144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 2: in Tampa Bay. Now, if that sounds like a wacky

145
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: way for the number four seed to be decided, well

146
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: it's because it is a wacky way. But this is

147
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: a division that effectively became a battle of who wanted

148
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: at least to race to the bottom. And it's weird

149
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: that it comes down to an otherwise meaningless game between

150
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 2: two teams already eliminated, being Atlanta a three and a

151
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: half point favorite over New Orleans, and nothing about what

152
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: we saw Saturday night would give you the least impression

153
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: of either the Bucks or the Panthers are about to

154
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: make any noise in the playoffs. But again, you never know.

155
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: It's got to be decided on the field. I don't know,

156
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: maybe they should just reduce it to four teams like

157
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: somebody said about our college football playoff. Sure, there's bloouts

158
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: in every sport, but I digress. Meanwhile, the Bucks passing attack,

159
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: even though they won, it's sputtered badly. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin,

160
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: Amika Abuga. I can't even pronounce his name right, which

161
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: is called booger, like the guy in Revenge of the Nerds.

162
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Fifty yards on four catches combine all of them. Tampa

163
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: Bay's defense though, yeah, they're the bend and break defense.

164
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: They ranked twenty seventh in past success rate. But Carolina

165
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: couldn't take advantage. So Sunday Sunday awaits. And there are

166
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: a lot of NFL games of importance. I'n't even got

167
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: to Ravens and Steelers. The winner takes the FC North

168
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: and the final AFC wild card spot. Lamar Jackson is back.

169
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: And before you start licking your chots, Ravens fans, this

170
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: is a de facto playoff game. Lamar Jackson in the

171
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: playoffs three ten touchdowns, seven interceptions, a fifty five percent

172
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: completion rate, two fumbles, and oh, by the way, a

173
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: sixty eight passer rating. Not real appetizing. By the way,

174
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: these two teams in their last thirty thirty two games.

175
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: The dog is twenty five and seven, Pittsburgh catching three

176
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: and a half. Now New England's at Miami in an

177
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: afternoon game. The Patriots can clinch THEFC number one seed

178
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: and a first round by just by beating Miami. Denver

179
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: they play the Chargers. Broncos can clinch the AFC number

180
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: one seed with a win, but if they lose, the

181
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: Patriots or Jaguars can snatch it. Jacksonville, Tennessee Jaguars vying

182
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: for their AFC South title, also potentially a number one seed.

183
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: All right, and you already know about Atlanta, New Orleans,

184
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: which I just told you could determine the NFC South

185
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 2: winter depending on who wins that game. So the game

186
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: the AFC number one seed, you got the Pats, Brocos,

187
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: Jaguars all half past to the top seed and home

188
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: field advantage, THEFC wildcard the Raven Steelers. It's a game

189
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: winner take off for the last AFC wildcard spot or

190
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: playoff spot. Excuse me. Meanwhile, the NFC South again the Bucks,

191
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: Pants Panthers, well, because the Panthers lost, That sets up

192
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: a Falcon Saints game to potentially decide the division title

193
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: and If you followed all that, good for you, because

194
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a lot more coming up. We're gonna

211
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: damna thing I've ever seen in many circles. And I'm

212

Speaker 2: looking at you, Cam Newton. You're still on the Rodney

214
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: But Kurt Signetti said it best. Our players don't really

215
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: know anything about Alabama's historic dominance. They just know what

216
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: they saw on film, and we know what we saw

217
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 2: in the field. We are going to get to all

218

Speaker 2: because your direct to sink style in which you don't equivocate,

250
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: is going to play real well with my audience. And

251
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: I would like to go through several of these games

252
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: Sunday that now actually have different storylines based on what

253
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: happens Saturday, and I'd like to start with New Orleans

254
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: at Atlanta at Lanta Land three and a half. We

255
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: know what happens if Atlanta wins. We know what happened

256
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: if New Orleans wins, and New Orleans is once four

257
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: straight games with Tyler Shirke at quarterback. Do you have

258
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: thoughts in this game?

259
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 5: Yeah? I do. You know, Shuck has been a pleasant surprise,

260
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 5: you know, the rookie out of Louisville. He's gone on

261
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: the road, he's played at home, He's done extremely well.

262
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: And the Saints, believe it or not, have been playing

263
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 5: pretty darn good football. I'm a little surprised that this

264
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: number is as high as it is. I think people

265
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 5: tend to overreact, Burnie, based on what they've seen or witnessed,

266
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: most recently in the fact is, the Falcons looked like

267
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 5: world beaters just the other night, knocking off a very

268
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: good Rams team. But I like the Saints plus the points.

269
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 5: But of course, if Atlanta should win, there's a three

270
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 5: way tie. But Carolina, even though they lost today, would

271
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 5: steal the division. And it's interesting for seating purposes because

272
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 5: you know, Carolina basically lost, but they could steal the

273
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 5: division Tampa Bay they win, and yet the only way

274
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: they can get in is if the Saints pull off

275
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: a mild upset. I like New Orleans plus the points.

276
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: I am with you on that. I grabbed New Orleans

277
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: plus the points, and you've ran up a you know,

278
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: a great point in that Money night was really the

279
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: fact of Super Bowl for the Falcons and Bjan Robinson

280
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: had another fantastic game. So we'll see how that shakes out.

281
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: A game that doesn't have any consequence except for maybe

282
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: a sack record. But the Bengals seem to be hot.

283
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: They're laying seven and a half at home against Cleveland.

284
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: This feels like a potential blowout. Would be willing to

285
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: lay this seven and a half?

286
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: No, never, Okay, I don't trust the Bungles. I don't

287
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 5: trust their defense. I certainly don't trust that Taylor, and

288
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: to a lesser degree, I don't trust Joe Burrow. So

289
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 5: you're talking about a divisional game and you're giving me

290
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 5: more than a touchdown. Yeah, give me the Browns plus

291
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 5: seven and a half. I've made a really good living

292
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 5: for three plus decades betting on ugly dogs points me

293
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 5: more than opinion, So yeah, find me up to the Browns.

294
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: Another kind of ugly game, Indianapolis at Houston. I kind

295
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: of like the under here, but Houston another double digit game.

296
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: This is what happens in Week eighteen. Thoughts on the

297
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: Colts at Houston.

298
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand your thought says they're Bernie. And one

299
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 5: thing I've learned is if Bernie speaks, I listen in

300
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: your viewers and listeners should too, because you've been doing

301
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 5: this as long as I have at the highest level

302
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 5: here in since city in Las Vegas. I respect the

303
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: Houston Texans defense. You know, overall, out of thirty two

304
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 5: teams in the league, they are the top ranked defense.

305
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 5: Not sold on their offense, They've been consistently inconsistent. But again,

306
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 5: give me the double digit plus ten and a half

307
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 5: and I'll see the cashier.

308
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the way you think, because really, when

309
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: the balls in the air, you're going to want to

310
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: be on the side of the book in my opinion,

311
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: and it feels like the books will need the Colts,

312
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: especially because if the Houston Texans win this, they claim

313
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 2: the NFC South title. Is that not correct?

314
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 5: Well, the thing you have to look at here is

315
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 5: I really feel that Hughes the Houston Texans are going

316
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 5: to be a five seed. The Jacksonville Jags are going

317
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: to be the three seed. And it's just one of

318
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 5: those things that everyone is excited about the Houston Texans defense,

319
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: but the fact is they had it not been for

320
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 5: a nineteen point fourth quarter comeback at home against the

321
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: Jacksonville Jags, they wouldn't even be in contention. I mean,

322
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 5: the Buffalo Bills probably are still the best team in

323
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 5: the AFC, but they're going to flight all the way

324
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 5: to a six seed. Houston's going to steal the five seed.

325
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 5: Jacksonville with the top rank rush defense, and all the

326
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 5: football will be three. So that means Jacksonville and Buffalo

327
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 5: will play in the first round. But like I say,

328
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 5: I respect Houston's defense, but respectfully, they're there to win

329
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 5: the game. There is no incentive. I mean, they can

330
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 5: win by ten points but not cover. And what that

331
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 5: means is for those viewers or listeners that want to

332
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 5: lay double digits, if you want to lay ten and

333
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 5: a half, just think about this. The Texans are there

334
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 5: to win the game. Now, get anyone hurt, play the scoreboard,

335
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 5: play the clock late in advance, and if they win

336
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: by ten, they're going to bring on the dancing girls

337
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 5: and put the champagne on ice. And you as a

338
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 5: better at minus ten and a half, you're going to

339
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 5: be eating Ramen noodles.

340
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: Talk with Scott Pritchard. Find him on Twitter at pritchard Wins.

341
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: One of the most successful handicappers here in Las Vegas.

342
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 2: A fixed you're in town and a fixture on all

343
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 2: the major contests in circa Westgate and the like. I

344
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: want to go to a game that has interest primarily

345
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: from a fan standpoint. But if the Bears clinch, If

346
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: the Bears win, they clinched the NFC's number two seed.

347
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: It's a funny line to me. I've seen two and

348
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: a half and I've seen threes, and you got to

349
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: feel that Ben Jonson would like to pay the Lions

350
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: back for the fifty two point drubbing a few weeks ago.

351
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: But I can't keep my mind around this game, Scott,

352
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: so I've stayed off a what are your thoughts?

353
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 5: Well, I like the Lions plus the points and I've

354
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: seen plus three and a half dog twenty, So the

355
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 5: Lions plus three and a half I think presents some value. Yes,

356
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 5: the Bears. They are the most overhyped, overrated team that

357
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 5: I've seen in quite some time. I mean, they are

358
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: far and above the top ranked team in football as

359
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 5: far as plus minus n takeaways. It's a terrible game

360
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 5: plan if you have to rely on turnovers. Imagine what

361
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: they would be, what their record would be if they

362
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 5: didn't get such favorable bounces to go their way with

363
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 5: pick sixers. Even the other night against San fran I mean,

364
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 5: they got a pick six in the first quarter and

365
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 5: they still lost the game. In fact, how bad is

366
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 5: the Niners? I mean they scored. I mean how bad

367
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 5: is the Bears defense? Because the Niners scored twenty seventh

368
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 5: in the league defensively the Bears, and we know that

369
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 5: defense wins championships. Vegas doesn't take the Bear seriously. I

370
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 5: take them even less seriously. But the fact is the

371
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 5: Niners scored forty plus points against the Bears, and yet

372
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: the Niners and a must win at home, they scored

373
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 5: three points today.

374
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, listen, I have to eat crow. I've been

375
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: believing that this Bears high wire act would have ended

376
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 2: a month and a half ago, so I just had

377
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: to recuse myself. But a team you have been correct

378
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: on since early October. You pegged at the Packers will

379
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 2: not only be in the postseason, but they would in

380
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: fact supersede the Detroit Lions in their own division, which

381
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: they did. You won your bet fair and square with

382
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: Jim Feist, and I was wrong. I would have thought

383
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: the Lions would have And the reason I segue into

384
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: that is because the Packers visit the Vikings. The Vikings

385
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: opened up as six and a half point favorites. I

386
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: now see ten and a half's out there. Do we

387
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: dare even take a gander on this game and grab

388
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: the points with the Packers or just have a beer

389
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: and watch it.

390
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 5: No, we watch it, but there's nothing better than watching

391
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 5: football and having action. So I already played the Vikings

392
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 5: at home minus the points, and I tend to lean

393
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 5: on the dog. The fact is the are locked in

394
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 5: at number seven, so they're going to play their cheerleaders.

395
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 5: The game is absolutely meaningless, but it's not meaningless to

396
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: the Vikings and JJ McCarthy, the quarterback for Minnesota. He

397
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 5: has a bit of a reprieve. He has a chance

398
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 5: to prove himself, and the Vikings have a decent competitive roster.

399
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 5: They're at home and this game, Bernie kind of reminds

400
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 5: me of a year ago when the Denver Broncos. We're

401
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 5: looking to embarrass the division rival to Kansas City Chiefs

402
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 5: because the Chiefs took it as a bye. Just same

403
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 5: way here with the Packers and Denver one thirty eight zip.

404
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 5: So I think ten and a half should be the

405
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 5: first half line. The Vikings are going to roll over

406
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 5: the Packers because the Packers are not playing for anything.

407
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 5: They're resting everybody. So yeah, this is an easy game.

408
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 5: Take the Vikings, lay the points.

409
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: Scott is. My research is correct. The Eagles who holds

410
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: the Commanders Sunday, and I believe they're laying for They're

411
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: playing to secure the NFC East and playoff positioning as well.

412
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: A short line for your thoughts on.

413
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 5: That game, Yeah, that's the one game. I look at

414
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: the total I played under thirty nine. I see it's

415
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 5: down to thirty eight. And I think because you're looking

416
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 5: at the two to three seed, the Bears at two

417
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 5: as long as they can win, the Eagles at three

418
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 5: as long as they can win. But if those if

419
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: the Bears should stumble, I mean there's a chance that

420
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 5: the Eagles could steal the number two seed. It doesn't matter,

421
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter who the Bears play, they could lose

422
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 5: them there. Do you really think the Packers at the

423
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 5: seventh seed, are that concerned about going into Chicago to

424
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 5: play the Bears. I mean, no, they're not. I mean

425
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 5: they ad them beat by ten points late in the

426
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: fourth quarter with a backup quarterback. So yeah, as as

427
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 5: long as Love is back in contention and the Packers

428
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 5: are going to have a buye because they're taking tomorrow off.

429
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 5: But I do like the Eagles. I do like the

430
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 5: I can't say I like the Eagles. I like under

431
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 5: in this game because Philadelphia they're going to play it

432
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 5: very close to the vest. They're not gonna The only

433
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 5: way they can lose this game against Washington is if

434
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 5: they beat themselves a la. Turnovers. Turnovers lead the points,

435
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 5: and turnovers it's the great neutralizer when it comes to talent.

436
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, I like the under.

437
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I agree with your assessment on the Packers

438
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: traveling to Chicago. I think when you handicap, you look

439
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: for string versus weakness, and the Packers defense is so

440
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: much better than the Bears defense. I think it's a

441
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: significant edge. Would you agree with that?

442
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 5: I absolutely one percent. The Packers are a top six defense, Okay,

443
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: and offensively, before Love went down, they were a top

444
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 5: six offense. So they're a very balanced team and they're

445
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 5: certainly not going to be concerned about adverse weather. You're

446
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 5: going from Green Bay to Chicago division rival for all

447
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 5: intent purpose. I mean, they should have swept the Bears.

448
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 5: But the Bears remind me of last year's Washington Commander's team, Bernie.

449
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 5: The fact that that team won six last minute, last

450
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 5: second Hill Mary fluke Win, fluke Win, fluke Win, and

451
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 5: then they had their tails handed to them again. The

452
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 5: Eagles in the playoffs by thirty two, even though they

453
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 5: the week prior to that they beat the over rated,

454
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 5: over hyped coach list Dan Campbell led Lion. Lions were

455
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 5: favored by double digits and they lost straight up twenty

456
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 5: three to ten. The Washington lost by thirty two to

457
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: Philadelphia the very next week. So the Bears complete fraud.

458
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 5: They're not going to go anywhere in the playoffs.

459
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't disagree with any of that. Talk with

460
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: Scott Pritchard at Prichard Wins on Twitter, one of the

461
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: most successful handicappers here in Los Vegas. All right, so

462
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: the Rams you might slack me through the phone, and

463
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: the Cardinals are catching fourteen believe it or not. I

464
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: grab the fourteen and now it's down to thirteen and

465
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: a half. And now the Rams they have motivation to

466
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 2: win because they'd rather go to either you know, Tampa

467
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: Bay or Carolina than go to Philadelphia or even maybe Chicago.

468
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: But Sean McVay is going to play as starters. I

469
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: feel like the Rams has some self imposed pressure and

470
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: two touchdowns in a divisional game like this for one

471
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: team's Lucy Goosey. We talked about this last Tuesday, Scott

472
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: over at the over. Don DeMarco's historically in the NFL,

473
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: teams was something to play for facing teams that really

474
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: don't have anything to play for other than basically pride

475
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: the teams that are completely eliminated. Sixty one percent against

476
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: the number, and I'm getting a nice, juicy fourteen points. But

477
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to defer to you. Did I make a

478
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 2: bad bet there? What are your thoughts?

479
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 5: No, you made a great bet and you could lose

480
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: by thirty, but give me fourteen, double digits, two touchdowns. Yeah,

481
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 5: the Rams are there to win the game. I mean

482
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 5: they have a very advantageous seeding position opportunity here because

483
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 5: as long as they just hold, serve and beat a

484
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 5: bad Arizona Cardinal football team, the Rams will be a

485
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: five seed, which means there's only one team in the

486
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: NFC that gets a buy but not this year. The

487
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 5: Rams get to buy because they get to play Carolina

488
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 5: in the next round. So I'm talking about you have

489
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: to be seed at five, and then do you really

490
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 5: think the Rams are that about going back to Seattle?

491
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 5: And I'm not even convinced I have to play Seattle

492
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 5: in the second round because I think the Packers will

493
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 5: knock off the Bears and Seattle would be hosting the Packers.

494
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 5: And in that way, even if in that case scenario,

495
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 5: the Rams, do you think they're concerned about going to Philly?

496
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 5: Give me a break. Last year was the time to

497
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 5: be on Philly, not this year. They're twenty fifth in

498
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 5: the league offensively, eighteenth in the league defensively. We need

499
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 5: to evolve and move on from last year. Okay, they

500
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 5: won the Super Bowl. That was then. This is now.

501
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 5: We don't want to talk about last year. The Chiefs

502
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 5: didn't even make the playoffs this year, and they were

503
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl a year ago. So when we

504
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 5: listened to music, it's no longer an eight track. When

505
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 5: we make a phone call. It's no longer from a

506
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 5: rotary phone. Let's move on. The Rams win the game,

507
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 5: but they're not going to win by fifteen or more.

508
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, how a right you are? I mean, the Chiefs,

509
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: the Vikings, and the Allions combined to go forty four

510
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: and seven last year and none of them are in

511
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: the in the playoffs. Scott, give me your thoughts on

512
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: Denver and the Chargers. I did grab you under at

513
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 2: thirty eight and a half. Tree Lance is not a

514
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: major league quarterback. Denver is a major league defense, and

515
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos will be the top seed if they beat

516
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 2: the Chargers. Your thoughts on the game.

517
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 5: The Denver Broncos are a poor man's version of the

518
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 5: Chicago Bears of the NFC. They've been extremely fortunate, extremely lucky.

519
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 5: One point win here, one point win. They're fluke fluke everywhere,

520
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: a fluke fluke. But they are going to be seed

521
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 5: at one. They are going to be the top seed.

522
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 5: And I do respect their defense. They're a top three,

523
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 5: top four defense. Not sold on their offense, but high ultitude,

524
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 5: thin air, and even the Broncos cannot find a way

525
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 5: to lose if they don't play. Giving that first round

526
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 5: by is huge, and so yeah, I think the Broncos

527
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 5: certainly win the game, but are they going to win

528
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 5: by double digits? I mean, I wouldn't lay it to

529
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 5: your point. You said this last week and it was

530
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 5: so insightful. And that's why when you are on the

531
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 5: Jim Fie Supports Handicapping panel, people come out and drow

532
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: and it's because of you and your content. And you're objective, Okay,

533
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 5: you're unbiased, and you put you for sixty one percent

534
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 5: ats versus the number one a team has to win

535
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 5: versus a team that's not playing for anything. Yeah, Broncos

536
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 5: will win, but you're asking them to win by thirteen.

537
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: Come on, no, And it's not a small sample size.

538
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: It's one O, five and sixty nine going back to

539
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety. Finally, Scott, the game that probably if we

540
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: could only watch one game of marrow, this would be

541
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: the one the Ravens at Pittsburgh, the Steelers getting three

542
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 2: and a half at home. You know where I stand

543
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: on this. In this series, the underdogs twenty five and

544
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: seven in the last thirty two. I'm really not a

545
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson guy, but you've got the last word. My friend,

546
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: on the game Baltimore at Pittsburgh. Truly, for all the marbles.

547
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 5: I'm a big Mike Tomlin fan. This guy has done

548
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 5: more with less than anyone I know. And I'm not

549
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 5: a hardball fan, and I'm certainly not a Lamar Jackson

550
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 5: fan because these guys can't win the big game. Harball

551
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 5: back in twenty eleven again his brother, Yeah, he did

552
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 5: well in the Super Bowl, but Lamar Jackson has never

553
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 5: ever won a big game. But the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean,

554
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 5: I have a strong opinion on this game, and it's

555
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 5: counterintuitive to what the masses are saying. I like the

556
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 5: Ravens money line. Again, I don't trust the three and

557
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 5: a half. I cannot lay three and a half in

558
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 5: a division game. For all the marbles. Baltimore starting to

559
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 5: play a little bit better. But to your point that

560
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: you mentioned earlier in the week, even you know, if

561
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 5: Lamar is playing in the game, he is not himself.

562
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 5: He used to be able to run and pass and

563
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 5: now he's trying to be a pocket passer and that's

564
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 5: just not who he is. He's very tentative to run,

565
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 5: and that's what made him an animal, made him a

566
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 5: man amongst boys was the fact that he could just

567
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 5: take the ball and run and now he's very hesitant.

568
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 5: But take the Ravens money line. You'll be happy you did.

569
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: Scott. I can't thank you enough. We've got to get

570
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: you on again. Appreciate your succinct and tell the folks

571
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: where they can find you. I believe you have your

572
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: own website as well.

573
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pritchard'spicks dot com. Some of the information is free,

574
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 5: some of it you have to pay for. That's Pritchard'spicks

575
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 5: dot com. The only thing I'll say is the most

576
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 5: expensive advice free advice. And then you can check me

577
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 5: out on social media at pritchard Wins. And to your point,

578
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 5: with the Circum Invitational, twenty five of the world's best

579
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 5: going had to head three years ago, actually two years ago.

580
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: I took third. Last year, I took six. This year

581
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 5: right now I'm in third place three weeks to go.

582
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 5: So and then the darn Westgate Survivor Contest five hundred

583
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 5: and fifty five thousand dollars, I made it to the

584
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: final day and lost. That didn't feel too good. And

585
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: then for the Circus Survivor I made it to Thanksgiving

586
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 5: outlasted eighteen thousand plus contestants out of eighteen thy eight

587
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 5: hundred competing for nineteen million dollars. And I was on

588
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 5: the Ravens and Lamar Jackson and Hardball and Oh.

589
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: Against Oh, and you were enough to save them, Jill,

590
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: thanks you, oh exactly.

591
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 5: And not only that, it had the Westgate Contest actually continued.

592
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 5: I had saved Philly against the Raiders winter winners, taking

593
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 5: Lobster Dinner thirty one zip. I had saved Houston against

594
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 5: the Raiders. That was another winner. Last week Cincinnati at home,

595
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 5: that was a winner. And then this weekend I had

596
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 5: saved Jacksonville as a big fat favorite at home against

597
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 5: Tennessee and I must win. So yeah, I would have

598
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: been jen.

599
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: I say, well, just to give the folks in perspective

600
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: your third in the third to Circa Invitational, I have

601
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: a lot of respect for you guys. I've only entered

602
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: one contest in my life. I was in the Westgate

603
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: Super Contest in twenty fourteen Scott As I say, in

604
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: New Jersey, hand to God, I was fifty seven percent.

605
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: I finished two hundred and fourth.

606
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 5: Fifty seven percent is world class, and.

607
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: I finished two hundred and fourth. So if you're third,

608
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 2: and this is against some of the best handicappers in

609
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: a nation in the world. Come from around the world

610
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: to be in this contest.

611
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, contest. It's kind of a side hustle. It's something

612
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll match with with anyone. Maybe it's my

613
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 5: ego talking, but I've been fortunate and blessed. I've done

614
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 5: pretty well in this contest. But to your point, you

615
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: want to ultimately keep the main thing the main thing.

616
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 5: It's a matter of just sticking it to the sports books,

617
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 5: getting the best of it, beating closed closing line value,

618
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 5: cashing tickets. Anything over fifty two point four percent is gravy.

619
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 5: Fifty two point four percent is break even, but that's challenging.

620
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 5: You have to be right eleven times out of twenty

621
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 5: one just to break even. So at fifty five fifty

622
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 5: seven percent, biggest baddest sports better on the planet. Hall

623
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 5: of Famer Billy Walters his golden objective every year is

624
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 5: to hit fifty five percent. Now he's putting six figures

625
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 5: a game. But if his golden is objective is to

626
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 5: hit fifty five percent, who are we to say that

627
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 5: we have to hit sixty Anything over fifty two point

628
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 5: four percent. Man is gravy.

629
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,520

Speaker 2: nine eight seven seven Night Not on Fox. The callers

652
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: have been fantastic since we've been doing this for eighteen months,

653
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: and we've got three topics to that. I'm really looking

654
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: forward to hearing the variance and desperate opinions. On the

655
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: first one. I want to talk about NFL tanking. I

656
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 2: want to get your thoughts on it. Remember suck for Luck,

657
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: tank for Tua? Does it ever work? I hate tanking.

658
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: I know that everybody here wants the Raiders to lose

659
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: Sunday so they get the number one overall pick. Is

660
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 2: if they're not going to screw it up, or maybe

661
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: they won't screw it up, but maybe they get the

662
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: guy they want. But it's one guy. You see. The

663
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: thing is in the NFL. Unlike the NBA, where one

664
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: superstar can turn around a franchise like Magic Johnson did,

665
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: like Larry Bird did, like Lebron did in Cleveland, et cetera,

666
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: et cetera. The NFL has fifty three players, and you've

667
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: got to have a cohesive system, and you have competent

668
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 2: leadership and coaching, and you've got to block and tackle

669
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 2: and do a bunch of stuff. A top draft pick,

670
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: even a quarterback, can't do it alone. They need an

671
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 2: offensive line, they need receivers. The last quarterback drafted number

672
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: one overall to win a Super Bowl for the team

673
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: he was drafted by was Peyton Manning twenty eight years ago.

674
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: I hate tanking. Maybe you do, maybe you like it.

675
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: I want to hear your honest opinion on tanking. Do

676
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: you like it or not?

677
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 7: All right?

678
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: So, a couple of weeks ago, after Oregon beat James

679
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: Manison fifty one thirty four and old Miss Pommel Tulane

680
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: forty one to ten, the same old tired proposal started

681
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: a resurface across sports media. And I think you know

682
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: when Nick Saban said, well, you know, they don't let

683
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: the International Championship team play in the World Series. No,

684
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: they don't. That's because the International League doesn't play against

685
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 2: the major leagues during the regular season, but a group

686
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 2: of five teams do. So I have no problem with

687
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: one group of five team getting the playoffs. It's all

688
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: about opportunity. You can't create outcomes. You can't prevent blowouts.

689
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 2: We had them in the BCS era, we had them

690
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: in a group of four era. We have them in

691
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: the super Bowl. Ten of the last twenty two Super

692
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: Bowls have been blowouts. So someone suggesting maybe a group

693
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: of five playoffs, what would you think about that? A

694
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: group of five playoff? Well, I'm not for it, don't

695
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: you know. Keep we're really close to getting this thing right,

696
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: and you can't legislate against blowouts. I don't know if

697
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: anybody would really watch your group of five playoffs. Okay,

698
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: the FCS championship game last year between North Dakota State

699
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 2: and Montana State drew about two million viewers. That's pretty good,

700
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: where the CFP first round draws fifteen million viewers. So

701
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's going to be a TV bonanza,

702
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 2: and it wouldn't even eliminate the problem we see now,

703
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: which is blowouts. You have blowouts in every level. You

704
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 2: create a separate tournament that would eliminate blowouts, you still

705
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: have five conference champions competing against each other. There'd be

706
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 2: massive disparities and talent resources depth. Some teams would win

707
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: by a large mark origins, and the championship would be

708
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 2: celebrated for about two hours, and then it seems like

709
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 2: the one would care. I think the courage system is evolving.

710
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: It's not perfect, but man, you can't tell me you're

711
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: not loving this looking forward to these final four. So

712
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: on the other hand, I think, you know, some people

713
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 2: might like this. But if you ask Boise State fans

714
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: who've been to the playoffs, would they want to be

715
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: a group of five national championship? No, I don't think

716
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: anybody wants that. So number one, please tell me what

717
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: you think of NFL tanking. Do you like it? Do

718
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: you not like it? Good idea, bad idea? Do you

719
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: hope your team does it? Do you hope they don't? Again,

720
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: remember suck for luck and tug for two? How did

721
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: that work out? I don't think it ever works out?

722
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: And I just gave my reason why the draft is uncertain.

723
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: It's a crapshoot. There's never a sure thing you might

724
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: get to pick you want. It could be a bus

725
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 2: that happens more often than not. And it's one player

726
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 2: and a roster of fifty three. Would you like to

727
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: see a group of five playoffs? Because of you know,

728
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: they're really their inability to truly compete on the national stage.

729
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 2: But I think one team, one team deserves a chance.

730
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 2: Now the third one and I've been needing to do

731
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: this for a while, but this poor guy took so

732
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: much heat after his Ohio state prediction. I'd like to

733
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: get your folks opinion on Urban Meyer. What is his

734
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: image in your eyes? Now? He wanted bowling Green Utah

735
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: championships in Florida, Ohio State. He wrote a great book

736
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: eight years ago called Above the Line. I'm a book reader.

737
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 2: I loved it, but then I saw what happened at Jacksonville,

738
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: and it doesn't feel like he followed the principles and

739
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: philosophies and culture he talked about building in his book

740
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: that he didn't do it at Jacksonville. It was very

741
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 2: bothersome the things I heard. So what's your image of

742
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer? Mine's tainted now. I used to have a

743
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 2: lot of respect for him. So NFL tanking, the group

744
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: of five playoff, yes or no? Meyer, give me your

745
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: honest image and opinion of him. Eight seven, seven nine

746
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: nine six six three sixty nine eight seven seven ninety nine.

747
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 2: On Fox, It's the Madnight Hour, will be taking your

748
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: calls on those three subjects. So let's get it ripping.

749
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

750
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: That's right, your heard the man Bernie Frattle show keeps

751
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 2: rolling right along. My name is Bernie Frattle. We're Comedy

752
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: Life from Las Vegas Studios. We are just getting started.

753
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: And yep, well we've got NFL tanking. I say it

754
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: doesn't work. One player cannot guarantee success or remember tank

755
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 2: for tua, suck for luck. Uh, it's not like the NBA.

756
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: But one guy can turn a team around, and the

757
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: draft is uncertain, a group of five playoff. It was

758
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: suggested after Nick Saban's rant, I say it's a bad idea,

759
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: you might like it. I like what the callers have

760
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 2: to say. And Urban Meyer, after taking another beating on

761
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: his comments, have to the Ohio State non prediction. What

762
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 2: is your image of urban Meyer these days? It's time

763
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 2: it's aim In that hour eight seven, seven, nine to

764
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine nine six six

765
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 2: streets of nine, let's hear from you. Stanley from Massachusetts

Speaker 8: You not bad? We haven't spoken a while. The last

768
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 8: time we spoke was in regard to the simplicity of

769
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 8: how basketball or just sports in general was back in

770
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 8: my childhood from two thousand, all the way to twenty ten,

771
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 8: you said that sports wagering has been is a big

772
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 8: influence in it right now. So so your main points, sir,

773
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 8: especially since growing up playing the sport of football and

774
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 8: all that. I'm just gonna be honest, there's no guaranteed

775
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 8: in tanking because it just doesn't make sense anymore because

776
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 8: you actually have, like teams actually have to put in

777
00:41:59,160 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 8: the work.

778
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 4: That's number one. Number two.

779
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 8: Tom Brady sent himself back in twenty nineteen or twenty

780
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 8: twenty that most of these quarterbacks in college aren't ready

781
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 8: for the simplicity but the sophisticated offenses or just schemes

782
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 8: that come all together in this in the NFL, and

783
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 8: that's why.

784
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 7: Good majority of them fail.

785
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 8: That is why we need to also talk about not

786
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 8: trying to like make something.

787
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 4: Bigger than what it is.

788
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 8: But it's kind of evident now why some quarterbacks like

789
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 8: Anthony Richardson, and we use him for example, this like himself,

790
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 8: who's struggling because he's not only an athletic quarterback, he

791
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 8: only stayed a year in college, which he should have stayed.

792
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 8: Where if it's like someone like a Will Howard or

793
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 8: a Sam not even Sam Bath, that's not even a

794
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 8: good competision.

795
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: Just in general, Stanley, if a team loses so they

796
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: might get a better draft pick in the NFL, I

797
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 2: have not seen that work. I mean, now, are we

798
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: in agreement here because you're it sounds like that's the

799
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 2: case you're making.

800
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 8: No, that's that's the case I'm making. It just it

801
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 8: just doesn't make sense because nothing is guaranteed, and and

802
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 8: the other thing is too You got the media basically

803
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 8: harping on the team saying, oh, that quarterback was bad,

804
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 8: this un the third I'm like, you didn't give them

805
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 8: the time. You You got to understand, you got a

806
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 8: simple simplify things. That is why a guy like just like,

807
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 8: I mean Justin Feels is a terrible example, but I

808
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 8: mean he's something off the top of my head. You

809
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 8: got to understand they're put in situations where they're gonna fail.

810
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 4: Because the only.

811
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 8: Quarterback that's successful to my memory, that done very well

812
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 8: coming out of college was Matt Lyon in two thousand

813
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 8: and eight when he came out of DC. He got thrown.

814
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did well. He beat I covered that game.

815
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 2: He beat the Lions that day, and that was the

816
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: lionsone set team. I I covered Matt Ryan's first game

817
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: real quickly, Stanley, Uh, would you like to see a

818
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: group of five playoffs? And what are your thoughts quickly

819
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 2: on Urban Meyer?

820
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 8: Well as a as a Gator fan. I mean Urban

821
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 8: Meyer's stakes are terrible now. I mean I kind of

822
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 8: really don't know. Listen, man, whether whether he had a

823
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 8: heart condition or not. I mean the man went to

824
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 8: go take an Ohio stay job and won a national

825
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 8: title his what second or thirty year, so so I

826
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 8: don't really care about his takes. And the other thing

827
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 8: is too, Bernie, you got to understand this. You got

828
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 8: to keep the playoffs.

829
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 4: Where it is, like, yeah, because because you got because

830
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 4: it's more competition. The more the teams you put, the

831
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 4: more you're killing the excuse Yeah, killing the bowl games

832
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 4: something that I grew up on.

833
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 8: And it just, you know what I'm saying, It just

834
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 8: it's just not just it's just just it just doesn't

835
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 8: make sense. It just it just hurts the brand. It

836
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 8: just hurts the product. To be one hundred percent honest

837
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 8: with you. And also, one take before you cut me off,

838
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 8: I mean not coming off, well, let me go. I

839
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 8: gotta say. Man officiating in the last six weeks of

840
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 8: the NFL, dating back to the Patriots against the Saints,

841
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 8: the officiating has been horrendous. And that Monday night game

842
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 8: was also another horrendous game by the referees where there

843
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 8: was a clear all these pass in advance and they

844
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 8: did not call it. I just don't know anymore. A

845
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 8: part of me is saying, oh, the NFL is fixed,

846
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 8: But at the same time, it's just like the associating

847
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 8: just stucks. That's all I'm gonna say.

848
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: All right, Stanley, and I agree with the officiating part.

849
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: Glenn from Seattle, Welcome into the Bernie Frattle Show. We'll

850
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 2: start with the NFL tanking. Do you think it works?

851
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 2: Do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea?

852
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 6: Hey, by the way, I love your show. Thank you

853
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 6: as I'm calling you. I think, man, thinking doesn't thinking

854
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 6: doesn't work. I just think the integrity of it is

855
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 6: just not good. You have no integrity when you tank,

856
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 6: and like you said, it doesn't guarantee, uh that you're

857
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 6: gonna get anybody good. And I like what the previous

858
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 6: caller said about Tom Brady because if people I can

859
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 6: said Tom Brady and Montana the two greatest quarterbacks ever

860
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 6: to play. But the thing about Tom Brady is he

861
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 6: sat for I think he sat for what two years

862
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 6: behind Drew was Drew not Drew Brees.

863
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,479
Speaker 2: A year and a half. And then Blessoe got hurt.

864
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: Yes he did, he did.

865
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 6: Right and so and so by him sitting out, he

866
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 6: was ready when his time came, he was ready to go.

867
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 6: And he never relinquished his job after that. So I

868
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 6: agree with the previous colleague. You need to when you

869
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 6: get drafted. Just because you're drafting number one doesn't mean

870
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 6: you're gonna come in and just burn everything up. You're

871
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 6: gonna get a guy out there, no line in front

872
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 6: of you, You're gonna get killed. And then and then

873
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 6: his shot, his confidence is gonna be shot. Look at

874
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 6: look at okay, look at Sam Darnold from Seattle, you

875
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 6: know Seattle. Look at him. When he went to the Jets,

876
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 6: he get killed. And so he had to learn behind

877
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 6: certain people in San Francisco when he was there, and

878
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 6: he learned to be patient and all this other stuff.

879
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 6: And he's turned out to be a better quarterback. I'm

880
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 6: not going to say he's the greatest quarterback, but he

881
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 6: is a better quarterback. And we love him up here.

882
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 6: But now the playoffs, the group of five, this is,

883
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 6: this is what I would do. So you had you

884
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 6: had Notre Dame and by U, who I think were

885
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 6: deserving to be in the playoffs. So why not have them?

886
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 6: Have Notre Dame played Tulane for that last spot and

887
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 6: have b YU played James Madison for that last pot.

888
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea. I think. I think you

889
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 2: ultimately get rid of the conference championship games and replace

890
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: him that weekend with play in games. Yeah, continue on,

891
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: But the point is a group of five playoffs by

892
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: itself would have no appeal to use. That is that

893
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: what I'm hearing.

894
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 6: No, no, no, because no, no, no, you don't want

895
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 6: to do that. They deserve a shot to get in

896
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 6: and you never know that they one of these guys

897
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 6: might put together a great team that goes far in

898
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 6: the playoffs. You just you never know. But I think

899
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 6: they need to play. I need to they think. I

900
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 6: think they need to have a play in to prove

901
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 6: themselves against teams because, like I said, not the name

902
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 6: and by you deserve to be in the playoffs. But

903
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 6: let them play for it, let them play for those

904
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 6: last fives.

905
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, not about any all right, what is your opinion?

906
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 2: What is your image of urban Meyer at this stage

907
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: in his career.

908
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 6: You know, I just think urban Meyer should just quietly

909
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 6: go away and just look. You're you won championship in

910
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 6: Florida and at OSU, So go away, relax, be with

911
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 6: your family, Stop trying to chime in, stop trying to

912
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 6: to be you know, to be relevant. You are relevant

913
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 6: you want already, So enjoy your championships and just leave

914
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 6: everything alone. Stop trying to be controversial.

915
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 2: So you're basically we're kind of two for two. The

916
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 2: other guy because he was a Florida guy, so he

917
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 2: loved it Urban one, But at this stage he's he

918
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot of credibility with you, is what

919
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 2: I'm hearing. And I want to lead the witness, But

920
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 2: is that what I'm hearing?

921
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, because because you know, I think the game may

922
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 6: have already passed them by. So if he were to

923
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 6: get back into coaching again, who you know, he's not

924
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 6: going to stay where he's at. They'll build a program,

925
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 6: then they'll leave, or you know, it's just I think

926
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 6: the game has passed them by. There's so many young

927
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 6: coaches out that deserve a chance. Anyway, So just go relax,

928
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 6: Just relax, be with your family.

929
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 2: Man, all right, thanks for checking in. Don't be a stranger, buddy.

00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 2: Uh Spotswed from Oregon. We have to start with the usual,

Speaker 2: How happy new your young man? Happy new? You're back

935
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: at you? Okay, let's start with NFL tanking. I hate it.

936
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 2: It's that time of year where people are talking about it.

937
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? Does it work or not?

938
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 6: I don't care if it works.

939
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 9: I love it. Okay, I think I think that the

940
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 9: drama and all this stupid stuff that these Yeah, of

941
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 9: course it doesn't work, but everybody wants to know how

942
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 9: many games you're gonna lose. All the drama, all the

943
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 9: idiots out there trying to figure out if they're gonna

944
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 9: get Uh, well, this is the basketball women, Yama, and

945
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 9: I know you're talking to you know NBA. It works,

946
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 9: but you know if you're gonna get you know, the

947
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 9: next big quarterback. I think it's great drama. I think

948
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 9: it's really stupid, and I'm here for it. I'm all

949
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 9: over tanking. It's great.

950
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 2: Interesting, what what what's the appeel that if you know

951
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 2: it doesn't work. I mean, the players are gonna play hard,

952
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 2: it's it's it's the front office that's believing they can

953
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: manipulate and thread the needle to get a better craft

954
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 2: choice by losing more games. And I don't see how

955
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: it ever works.

956
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 7: Well, I know it.

957
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 9: I know it doesn't work. But it's it's it's the drama,

958
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 9: it's the tomfoolery, it's it's the idiocy and some of

959
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 9: the kind of dig that.

960
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 2: All right, that's good enough for me, all right. The

961
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: five playoffs? Do you have any thoughts on such a proposal.

962
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 2: It's been bandied about. I don't think it'll ever go anywhere. No,

963
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: I don't.

964
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 9: I don't want to play the team. If I playoffs,

965
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 9: I think everybody should get a shot. James Madison had

966
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 9: had a shot. You know, frankly, the only way Oregon

967
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 9: State's ever.

968
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 2: Going to get in there.

969
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 9: If there's if there's a possibility of a non you know,

970
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 9: team playoff of a group of five, and all the

971
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 9: college football teams need to have a little bit of

972
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 9: hope so that anybody that is a fan of college football,

973
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 9: can you know, dream about something maybe, and I think

974
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 9: that they should just keep it the way the way

975
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 9: it is. If there's some blowouts, some blowouts, you know,

976
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 9: so what's just blowouts everywhere?

977
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 6: Just like you talked about now.

978
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 9: One of the things I'd like to interject before we

979
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 9: get to Urban my real quick. One of the best

980
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 9: quotes I think I've ever heard a coach from college

981
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 9: football say is Kurt Signatti. He said, I win google it.

982
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 9: That was a swag or move right there, I got it.

983
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 9: I got to say that, oh no.

984
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: Doubt he was, Yeah, yes, fair enough. Nowhere to go

985
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 2: with that one? All right, your thoughts on Urban Myer?

986
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 7: What now?

987
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 10: Now?

988
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 9: Urban Meyer he's the guy that decided not to fly

989
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 9: back with his team so he can chat up a

990
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 9: waitress in a bar somewhere. He's quick teams, uh, you know, oh,

991
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 9: I'm retired, I've got I've got pre frontal low problems

992
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 9: or something. And then he comes back to do something

993
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 9: else and then he, you know, kicks his his player

994
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 9: at the Jags and says, I'm the coach here.

995
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 6: It has left a bad taste in my mouth.

996
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 9: And frankly, I'm not a big Urban Meyer fan. And

997
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 9: he can go away into the good night, like your

998
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 9: other callers said. So that's that's my opinion. I think,

999
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 9: you know, it's kind of like, you know what your

1000
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 9: legacy is the last game you won or you lost,

1001
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 9: and uh, I kind of think Meyer has lost his credibility.

1002
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 9: And that's what I'm talking about.

1003
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 2: All right, my man, enjoy that beverage and happy New Year,

1004
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 2: and we'll talk to you again Jim and Massachusetts in

1005
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 2: the cleanup spot tonight. Welcome in, Jim.

1006
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 7: Oh Burne, my god, you got to hook up a

1007
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 7: breathalyze it to you. Your phone lines man anyway, Oh.

1008
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 2: My god, you're with as long as they're not driving.

1009
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you're asking three questions and they're talking about

1010
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 7: other stuff. It's like, don't you know what the questions? Anyway?

1011
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 2: I have a tendency to give people some latitude. Yeah,

1012
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: go go ahead, Jim.

1013
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I rather stick needles in my eyes

1014
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 7: those people.

1015
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 2: Anyway.

1016
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 7: Tanking, Now, I'm not for that. That's stupid.

1017
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 11: Hey.

1018
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 7: If you're one percent of the population, like football players

1019
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 7: and basketball players and everything, and you make it to

1020
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 7: that level, you play, you don't sit out, you don't tank,

1021
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 7: you don't do anything like that all the people that

1022
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 7: support you, that pay for outrageous parking, that pay for

1023
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 7: outrageous food, their pay rate and see to get there,

1024
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 7: you show up and play. Kids are going to see

1025
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 7: their favorite player and everything like that, and travel for miles.

1026
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 7: I mean there's people that live in New England that

1027
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 7: got not only New York Giants season tickets, they got

1028
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys season tickets. You show up and play. That's

1029
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 7: what you're there for, this tank and always let's get

1030
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 7: this guide. No, no, no, no, I'm totally against.

1031
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I cited bullet points why I've

1032
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 2: I've never seen it work. So again, it's just an opinion.

1033
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: But that's my opinion, all right. So this potential, it's

1034
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: never going to happen. A group of five playoff idea

1035
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: where they kind of have their own little playoff. I

1036
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 2: think it's a bad idea. I don't think you'll ever

1037
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 2: get off the ground. But what are your.

1038
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 7: Thoughts now, it's not going anywhere, Bernie. Wait until after

1039
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 7: this format and they see all the money that's rolled in.

1040
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 7: Just the way it is now, it's all about money,

1041
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 7: you know, it shouldn't be about the fans and the product.

1042
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 7: And everything, But it's all about the money and whose

1043
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 7: pockets it goes in. And they're not going to change anything,

1044
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 7: and they have a plan for that. They're gonna leave

1045
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 7: it just the way it is until until they started

1046
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 7: running a deficit, and they might look at other things,

1047
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 7: but whenever it comes to something like this, just follow

1048
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 7: the money. You know, Iran, he's a he's a looney

1049
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 7: tom all right, Wow, we had his time. Yeah, we

1050
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 7: had his time, and then all this other foolish stuff.

1051
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 7: It goes to character, Brinny. You know, so one of

1052
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 7: the if you're a great football coach, if you don't

1053
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 7: have any character, nobody wants you around, you know. And

1054
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 7: that's what happened to him. The idiot, Well, I.

1055
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,959
Speaker 2: Gotta tell you. Look, he uh you know, he didn't

1056
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: win at Florida but left an unceremonious fashion. One of

1057
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 2: the house state but left it unceremonies fashion would flip me.

1058
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 2: Jim was. He wrote a very good book called Above

1059
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 2: the Line. I read it a couple of times. It's

1060
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: about leadership. It's a very heavy book. But then when

1061
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 2: I observed his demeanor and deportment with the Jacksonville Jaguars,

1062
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 2: it didn't seem to follow any of those basic tenants

1063
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 2: he laid out on a book, and that bothered me.

1064
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 2: So I can't I can't not watch him without thinking that.

1065
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: It's still like listening to him talk and et cetera.

1066
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: But we're kind of forcing.

1067
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 7: You're exactly right, burning, You're exactly right, because he could

1068
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 7: have won four national championships. But then after all the

1069
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 7: stuff that's come out, that's all people think about.

1070
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 6: There's all you know, all.

1071
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 7: The stupid stuff he did, not about the other stuff.

1072
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 7: So you just ought to just don't go away, man,

1073
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 7: Just go away. You know, water, you plant, watch the

1075
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: Hey, real quickly, I'm going to go off script for

1076
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 2: you for one second because you mentioned leagues making money Thursday,

1077
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 2: January ninth, which is sort of this ersats the facto

1078
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 2: deadline the w NBA has set for maybe and I'm

1079
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 2: gonna get in to this later. Apparently, this new econometric

1080
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 2: model that's put forth, if the WNBA union got what

1081
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 2: they wanted, according to a report for me as Pen,

1082
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: the league would lose another seven hundred million dollars. You

1083
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 2: think they're going to come to their senses or is

1084
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,120

1087
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 2: know why, Then we'll find out how valuable they really are.

1088
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 2: If you want to say, Okay, you win, we need you,

1089
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,800

1095
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 7: And that's that's a bernie. You have no idea how

1096
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 7: that stuff. That's the world we live in right now.

1097
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 7: You have no idea how that's gonna mushroom and everything

1098
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 7: like that. But let just walk because you know it'll

1153
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: think it works. One player cannot guarantee success. Uh. The

1154
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 2: draft is a very uncertain, fickle thing. It's been suggested

1155
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 2: a group of five playoffs in college football. Bad idea.

1156
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 2: I think the listeners agree. Urban Meyer, what is your

1157
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 2: image of Urban Meyer in his topsy turvy life in

1158
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 2: the last twenty five years? Poppy in San Diego, Welcome

1162
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 11: Beautiful Tande was like raning, So be safe about that

1163
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 11: for look about thinking. I really love it, Bernie, because look,

1164
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 11: as a better we want to get that inside information

1165
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 11: the teams are gonna take.

1166
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 7: It's gonna help.

1167
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 11: Us and like, yeah, they've been doing it for years

1168
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 11: and stuff like that. But you know, I really like it.

1169
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 11: I think that the reason.

1170
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 7: Now finally the Raiders they're.

1171
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 11: Tanking, so we know what that's gonna happen. So sports better.

1172
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 11: I really love Kansas City minus five and a half.

1173
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 11: That's my bet they're gonna tak them because you.

1174
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 7: Know, Mark David, you should have done that.

1175
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 11: Long time ago. And like the Raiders, they need a

1176
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 11: quarterback and pictures.

1177
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 2: That they need everything poppy, my guys. I'm concerned for

1178
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza if the poor guy ends up here. They

1179
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 2: don't block, they don't tackle, they don't do anything except

1180
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 2: go on the radio and cheer each other on. I mean,

1181
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 2: it's silly.

1182
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, and he should be like, you know, calling and

1183
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 11: like Viva Mexico, like he says in the interview, is

1184
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 11: his stuff. He's landin heritage. So so yeah, I'm interested,

1185
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 11: like to see what's gonna happen. Who the Raiders are

1186
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 11: gonna take. They're gonna be the number one team. Thinking

1187
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 11: about tanking, guys, and next about group.

1188
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Of five playoffs?

1189
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, the players, it really doesn't matter.

1190
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 4: You know.

1191
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 11: Color earlier was saying about the you know college it's

1192
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 11: all a business. Yeah, it's all a business and stuff

1193
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 11: like that. I really don't care about it. They're gonna

1194
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 11: do five, real dad, they'll be interested. Hey, make it

1195
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 11: like the World Cup and making some four groups.

1196
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:21,680

1223
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 12: really care left about him.

1224
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 2: You do know he's a prominent fixture on Big newon

1225
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 2: Kickoff in Fox, and he's a prominent fixture on Colin

1226
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 2: Coward Show. And he does make a multi million dollar

1227
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 2: salary every year. So he may or may not be

1228
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 2: Yesterday's news, depending on it. But your answer kind of

1229
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 2: tells tells me how you feel.

1230
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, fair enough, but I don't let's put

1231
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 12: this weight break my call. I always say I'm not

1232
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 12: a college college football guy, anyhow I look this way,

1233
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 12: you know. So Anyways, like I said, I don't waste

1234
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 12: time on him in terms of the college football but

1235
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 12: I wish they went back to the bulls or some

1236
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 12: like I said, I think they makes the mockery of

1237
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 12: the system and the playoff every time they don't think themselves,

1238
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 12: they make think the system longer, more complicated or dissatisfying.

1239
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 12: And I just wish they just went back to these

1240
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 12: bull system all and not playd bulls are are are mocked,

1241
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 12: they're ignored, they're ridiculed, and it just studs. My whole

1242
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 12: system is worked, you know. And uh So anyway, my

1243
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 12: main point is the tanker. And to me, I'm a

1244
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 12: guy that when you play it straight and always, things

1245
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 12: will always work out better. And and uh, I hate

1246
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 12: to say it. Uh Philadelphia seventy six is with the process.

1247
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 12: How does that work out?

1248
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 2: That's been going on what twelve years now? Ten years?

1249
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1250
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 12: And also I'm a paid I'm in Boston the Patriots

1251
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 12: two years ago. If you remember, Girodmeo got.

1252
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 11: Sack and the fans were living living that he won

1253
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 11: the last game.

1254
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 12: We had Buffalo and Watt on the first first pick

1255
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 12: of the draft, we had to set up for number four.

1256
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 12: It wasn't a shame. We had to set up for

1257
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 12: a quarterback named Drake May and uh, like I said,

1258
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 12: you know, you got to play straight and let the

1259
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 12: chips followed in May a little Bernie so to me

1260
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 12: down on tanking, Buddy, and I hope you have a

1261
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 12: great night.

1262
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, Jimmy and Boston appreciate you. Uh.

1263
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 2: Dave in Phoenix, former mission guy, how are you Dave,

1264
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 2: what's up man?

1265
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 5: Well, Hi, Bernie.

1266
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 13: Three good topics tonight, maybe four. As far as tanking,

1267
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 13: I don't really like it, but I certainly understand it.

1268
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 13: I'll give you an example. We're back in the mid sixties.

1269
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 6: The Philadelphia Eagles.

1270
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 13: Had a terrible team. They were coached by the former

1271
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 13: Notre Dame coach Joe Q. Harrick and beat I believe

1272
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 13: they upset the Lions on Thanksgiving Day, and because they

1273
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 13: did that, they were very unhappy to win that game,

1274
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 13: because that meant they didn't get to draft O. J. Simpson,

1275
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,919
Speaker 13: so they could have used them tanking that day.

1276
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 2: Well, and fair enough, fair enough. He went on to

1277
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 2: Buffalo ran for two thousand yards. But it's all theoretical

1278
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 2: in that just because you think you get this guy

1279
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 2: that is going to change your world, it's almost impossible

1280
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 2: to do on a fifty three man roster because you

1281
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 2: got so many other moving parts. That's my point, right.

1282
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 13: And if you go to basketball, you look at the

1283
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 13: famous coin flip where the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Phoenix

1284
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 13: Suns to get Kareem and just think of that and

1285
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 13: simply come down to who had the worst record. How

1286
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 13: hard would those two teams be trying to lose at

1287
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 13: the end of the states.

1288
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 2: So, okay, that's NBA. And when I made my point

1289
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 2: in the NBA, you know, the Lakers got Magic Johnson,

1290
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 2: and the irony is I was there that day and

1291
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 2: check her and lost his mind. He wanted him to

1292
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 2: draft City Monkrey, but Magic Bird even Lebron, who I'm

1293
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 2: not a fan of, but they drafted him. He went

1294
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 2: to Cleveland. It worked, but it doesn't work typically in

1295
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 2: the NFL. I can't name a time where it's worked.

1296
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,439
Speaker 2: So that's that was kind of where I was going

1297
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 2: with that.

1298
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 6: Okay.

1299
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 13: Now, as far as urban Meyer goes, I'm not a

1300
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 13: real big fan of urban Meyer, especially going back to

1301
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 13: when he was coaching at Ohio State and he had

1302
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 13: an assistant coach whose behavior was unfortunately kind of like

1303
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 13: Sharon Moors, and he covered up for that guy. I'm

1304
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 13: sure you know that story.

1305
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 2: Of course, that's all back ten years. Yeah.

1306
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, But as bad as Urban is, I have to

1307
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 13: say this as a Michigan fan, he's not as disgraceful

1308
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 13: as Dave Cotnery.

1309
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 2: Well. Well, here's the deal. I read Urban's book. It's

1310
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: called Above the Line, it's a superbly written book. And

1311
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 2: this is a guy that repeated success in bowling Green, Utah, Florida,

1312
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 2: and Ohio State. And his book is it's almost gen

1313
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 2: it's from the standpoint it would apply to business and corporations.

1314
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,479
Speaker 2: But then three years after, four years after he writes

1315
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: the book, he goes and coaches at Jacksonville Jaguars. And

1316
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 2: when I hear about his behavior in de Portman there

1317
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 2: and there's things I've heard in my NFL circles you

1318
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't believe. I'm like, who is this guy? Sure? I

1319
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 2: brought I brought up the topic tonight, Dave, because he

1320
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 2: you know, he took a lot of heat for his

1321
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State prediction and how they would stuff Miami and

1322
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 2: Miami you know, wouldn't be able to score, et cetera.

1323
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 2: The point is, if people were lining up to bash

1324
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 2: him so quickly and readily, what's his image these days?

1325
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 2: That's why I put the topic out there.

1326
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 13: Go ahead, right, But you could also say, you know,

1327
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 13: Nick Saban picked Alabama and they got killed. All these

1328
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 13: guys picked the teams that they used to coach or whatever.

1329
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 2: That's true too, but Urban's had a few more besides

1330
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 2: that one. Yes, more all right, we didn't talk about

1331
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 2: the group of five potential playoffs, which I think is

1332
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 2: a horrible idea, but it was banning about your thoughts.

1333
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's a bad idea. I think it's

1334
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 13: fine to have one team from the group of five

1335
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 13: in the twelve team playoffs or fourteen or sixteen team

1336
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 13: playoff that we're going to have very soon. The thing is,

1337
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 13: this year was a flip. You had two group of

1338
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 13: five teams get in there simply because Virginia couldn't win

1339
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 13: that ACC title game and Duke was in there with

1340
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 13: five losses, so they almost have to take James Madison,

1341
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 13: as you know, another group of five team. But next

1342
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 13: year they've already solved a couple of those problems. And

1343
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 13: I don't know if this is for the better or not,

1344
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 13: but they've already said next year, the four power conferences

1345
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 13: are guaranteed to get their champion in, So Duke would

1346
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 13: have been in this year, and then also Notre Dame.

1347
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 10: If they're in the top.

1348
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 13: Twelve, they're automatically in. So you could have had Notre

1349
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 13: Dame and Duke easily in this year.

1350
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that'll get corrected and I don't think

1351
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 2: there should be any more buyers, Dave. I think he's

1352
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 2: a top four. I think your top four seeds should

1353
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 2: get two home games if they win.

1354
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 13: Maybe so right, But also if that format had been

1355
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 13: there this year, you'd have had Duke and Notre Dam

1356
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 13: in and Miami would be out.

1357
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 2: Which would have been a damn shame. Will Miami being

1358
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 2: out here, Dame the Notre Dame deserved to be in

1359
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 2: either exactly. Although I'm gonna give my handicapping later, but

1360
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 2: I think Old miss is gonna beat Miami, all right, Dave,

1361
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 2: good stuff, Gret. I gotta say you. The WNBA things

1362
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 2: come up a couple times, and I'm gonna have a

1363
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 2: commentary on that a little bit later. But Thursday is January.

1364
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Check that Friday's January ninth, and that's sort of this

1365
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 2: de facto date where a lot of things can happen

1366
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 2: if they don't have a deal by it. Remember, their

1367
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 2: damn season doesn't even start to like June. So but

1368
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 2: the rhetoric is so stupid. Eight seven, seven, nine, nine

1369
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 2: six six three six ninth, So still time to get

1370
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 2: in on the midnight hour. The NFL tanking a group

1371
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 2: of five tournament not a good idea? And what's your

1393
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,080

01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 14: Process i'm waiting to see you remember The high farmarre

1395

Speaker 14: you go back in, football BUT i think it was

1396
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 14: the eighty three draft when always basically Told der, says

1397
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 14: if you draft, Me i'm going to play.

1398
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 2: BASEBALL i, remember like, Yesterday.

1399
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 14: Yes, Yeah i'm, Like i'm waiting to see a quarterback

1400
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 14: with the balls to do.

1401
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 2: That. Well, well and don't Forget Eli manning did it.

1402
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 2: Too he didn't want to go to The, chargers ended

1403
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 2: up going to The New York. GIANTS i don't think

1404
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 2: it would happen.

1405
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 14: Today, yeah that's that's just.

1406
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 5: It the.

1407
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 14: Culture it's not. ABOUT i, mean if you're waiting for

1408
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 14: the right, guy what needs to change first is the

1409
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 14: culture of the team very.

1410
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 2: Much, so, YES i feel sorry.

1411
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 14: For this kid From indiana when he if he goes

1412
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 14: to The, raiders he's just going to get the crack

1413
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 14: kicked out of. Him that's such just sad. Truth they're

1414
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 14: not gonna do, anything you, know just afford. Him it's gonna.

1415
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,759
Speaker 2: Bell and the flip side of the corn Of clayton

1416
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 2: is the notion that The, Raiders, uh this would be

1417
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 2: so wonderful if they ended with the number one pick

1418
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 2: is if they don't screw it, up and even if

1419
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 2: they get the guy they, want there's no guarantee of

1420
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 2: success because they need to backfill in so many other.

1421
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 2: Positions and in THE, nfl AS i said, earlier it's

1422
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 2: a fifty three man. Roster it's not like THE nba

1423
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 2: where you got five players on the floor and one

1424
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:34,640
Speaker 2: guy can make a difference day. One. Yeah. True so the,

1425
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 2: NOTION i just, think the notion that you can thread

1426
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 2: the needle and manipulate this to where there's the guy

1427
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 2: we want, them we got. Them so what are your

1428
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 2: thoughts on a potential group of five playoffs which we

1429
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 2: both know will never.

1430
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 14: HAPPEN i, say if you're gonna do, that then you

1431
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 14: need To And i'm An alabama, fan but you need

1432
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 14: to Tell, alabama you need to Tell, georgia you need

1433
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 14: to Tell Ohio state and anybody else it wants to

1434
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 14: play these podunk teams to stop playing.

1435
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 2: Them all? Right thoughts on urban mayor what is his

1436
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 2: image in your? Eyes?

1437
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 14: Uh intelligence coach to some. DEGREE i don't know what

1438
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 14: he was doing In, jacksonville but controversy things to follow

1439
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 14: him everywhere he. Goes BUT i hate to talk about

1440
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,719
Speaker 14: Somebody i've never met face to, face but that's what's

1441
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 14: my observation of. HIM i guess.

1442
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 2: This, yeah that's all you can do is just give

1443
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 2: you give an opinion based on, what yes you. See

1444
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 2: you know.

1445
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,879
Speaker 14: He's a smart. Guy as far AS i guess, coaching,

1446
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 14: well it's LIKE i used to work with people that

1447
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,719
Speaker 14: played Under paul Bear bryant WHEN i was In, alabama

1448
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,560
Speaker 14: and they they said that guy could get those kids

1449
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 14: to do anything he. Wanted that's that charisma that certain coaches,

1450
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 14: have AND i would say he probably had. That BUT

1451
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 14: i never could figure out what he did In, jacksonville

1452
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:03,839
Speaker 14: Bringing Tim kboean and all that that MISS i don't understand.

1453
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 14: That well he.

1454
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 2: Did he lasted nine or ten, games and now you're

1455
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 2: bringing a Guy liam cohenan in one year on the

1456
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 2: short list to go to the Super. Bowl so it

1457
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 2: has a tendency to skew one's one thoughts of Opens all, Right,

1458
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 2: clayton appreciate you call. IT i don't be a, Stranger

1462
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 10: be some home games and no. Buyes The bay rounds

1463
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 10: just seem to BE i don't know part of the.

1464
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 10: Problem the other part is THAT i don't like what

1465
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 10: people are complaining about the little schools Like Too langing

1466
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 10: And James madison getting in the, tournament because if that's the,

1467
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 10: case why are we going to play the. Season let's

1468
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 10: just pick the twelve biggest name and throw them in

1469
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,320

Speaker 2: Football, yeah, see you're Exactly you're exactly. RIGHT i had

1471
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 2: this conversation four years ago When cincinnati went. Undefeated what

1472
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 2: sport in the world can you go undefeated when your

1473
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 2: conference and have no opportunity because of capricious, scenario arbitrary

1474
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 2: reasons to participate in a postseason. Tournament you have to

1475
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 2: give teams a, Chance James madison in their, chance and

1476
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 2: then whatever happens is whatever happens you just, said WOULD

1477
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 2: i believe go, Ahead.

1478
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,719
Speaker 10: Martin completely agree with, You, bernie and on the, TANKING

1479
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 10: i understand why people would do, It but in the

1480
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 10: sport of, FOOTBALL i agree with. You there's not just

1481
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 10: one player that's going to change an, organization and especially

1482
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 10: when you're drafting towards the. Top that means you have

1483
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 10: more than one. Beam, now if The raiders wanted a

1484
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 10: tank for that one pick and then try to parlay

1485
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 10: that into a couple of first rounds and maybe a

1486
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 10: couple of second, rounds THEN i get. That but to, say,

1487
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 10: hey we're gonna Take mendoza and this is gonna be

1488
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 10: the way our franchise is gonna turn. Around, honestly If I'm,

1489
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 10: Mendoza i'd be, SICK i guessing my. Talent if The

1490
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 10: raiders took, Me i'd be, like what the hell's going on?

1491
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 2: Here AND i, think, yeah go, ahead, yeah go, Ahead,

1492
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 2: Martin oh.

1493
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 10: Yeah Yeah. No, now the thing With Urban meyer man

1494
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 10: is WHAT i think is that he's a. Winner he's a, Winner.

1495
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 10: Bernie he wins in. Football but THEN i try to, think,

1496
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,759
Speaker 10: like is he putting winning above? Everything BECAUSE i focus

1497
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 10: on what was happening at The university Of florida and

1498
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 10: he had a troubled young man there that had addiction

1499
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 10: problems and was stacking up bodies like, crazy and he

1500
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 10: turned a blind eye because this kid was An All

1501
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 10: american and was helping him up the national. Rankings we

1502
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 10: all know who this kid was and he was a.

1503
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 10: Problem And i'm not Saying Urban meyer could have helped,

1504
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 10: him but maybe he's gonna stirred him in the right.

1505
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 10: Direction i'm getting a little emotional about this BECAUSE i

1506
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 10: know a lot of these football players out there with

1507
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,879

01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 2: brilliant but WHEN i heard what happened To, jacksonville his

1523
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 2: demeanor and his, support but didn't seem to match what

1524
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 2: he wrote about in his Book i'm dead set AGAINST nfl.

1525
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 2: Tanking remember to suck For luck and tank For. Tua

1526
01:18:57,880 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 2: how'd that work?

1527
01:18:58,479 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 6: Out?

1528
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 2: Now unlike THE, nba where one superstar can transform a franchise,

1529
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 2: again AN nfl team has fifty three. Players you got

1530
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 2: to have a complete cohesive. System you've got to have competent,

1531
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 2: leadership you have to have great, coaching, talent, blocking tackling.

1532
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 2: Everything and the draft is very. Uncertain it's a. Crampshoot

1533
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 2: there are no sure. Things many highly drafted players fail

1534
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 2: to live up to their. Potential johnny Manziel, well by the,

1535
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 2: way Brock party was the last guy. Drafted Lamar jackson

1536
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 2: was thirty second. Overall he's done pretty. Well he's three

1537
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 2: and five of the, playoffs but he's had a good.

1538
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 2: Career it's been AN. Mvp so the notion that you

1539
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 2: got to get somebody, first show me where it's, worked

1540
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 2: and then The group of five, playoffs it just isn't

1541
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 2: ever going to. Happen the notion is that people just

1542
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 2: simply won't watch. It The Boise states of the. World

1543
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 2: they want to play for the, big big, prize and

1544
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 2: you'd still have blowouts even in that tournament as, well

1567
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 2: championship but you, know Given Jason tatum's, injury BUT i

1568
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 2: admire what you know they've gotten after it this.

1569
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 15: Year, well, look With Jason tatum's injury as well as

1570
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 15: Chrisofs porzingis And Drew holliday getting traded because of financial,

1571
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:28,759
Speaker 15: reasons we thought that they would be at the bottom

1572
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 15: of the standings with The Indiana, pacers but said they're

1573
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 15: in third. Place they're only half a game behind The

1574
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 15: New York knicks for second, place three games behind The

1575
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 15: pistons for. First SO i still would give the edge

1576
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 15: of The, pissons but The South steven playing. Well Clearly

1577
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 15: Jalen brown's been on another. Level but just just think

1578
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 15: about This. Berdie they, lost not just WHO i mentioned

1579
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 15: With Jayson tatum with his achilles, injury Chrisofs porzingi's True,

1580
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 15: Holiday Al, Horford Georgia. Sniang now they have all these

1581
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 15: random role, players you, know having elevated. Roles you, Know Derek,

1582
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 15: Whites Gray Peyton, pritcher But Anthony, Simon Sam, Hawser Jordan

1583
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 15: watsh this team should not be in their. Place but

1584
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 15: tussam As, A Joean brown bringing his game to another,

1585
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 15: Level Joe mizoula being a really good head, coach AND

1586
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 15: i think all these role players being the best versions

1587
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,640
Speaker 15: of themselves just playing really well as the.

1588
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 2: Team, well you mentioned The, pistons and The pistons come

1589
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 2: to mind team near and dear to my heart many.

1590
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 2: Years but watch them toy with The lakers the other,

1591
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 2: night and we're to the point of the season now

1592
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 2: where you stats start to. Matter in five key defensive,

1593
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:40,639
Speaker 2: metrics the ranker The lakers ranked twenty, fourth twenty seven

1594
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 2: to twenty sixth last and opponent three point percentage defensively

1595
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 2: and appointed field goal percentage they ranked twenty. Sixth This laker,

1596
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 2: defense it's no longer a. Joke it's not a laughing matter.

1597
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 2: Anymore what are your? Thoughts do they have any hopes

1598
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 2: on patchiness? Together because with all due, Respect, mark it's

1599
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 2: pretty Obvious i've isolated On. Luca he can't play. Defense

1600
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 2: he can't play. Defense you got the.

1601
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 15: Floor, WELL i agree with. You the defense isn't, terrible

1602
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 15: but they are a. Joke they are a laughing matter

1603
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 15: because they've been so awful, defensively and the blame high

1604
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 15: goes all around that the efforts should be. Better Whether

1605
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 15: Luca doctor is just one hundred percent healthy or, not

1606
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 15: whether he's playing heavy offensive you, know role or, not that's.

1607
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 15: Irrelevant he needs to at least try, defensively and the

1608
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 15: beginning of the season The lakers are talking about how

1609
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 15: he was doing. That excuse, Me, bernie okay With Austin.

1610
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 6: Reeves now he's.

1611
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 15: Out that doesn't Help Lebron, james you, know being a

1612
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 15: shell of himself defensively at age forty one doesn't. Help

1613
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 15: but they got some defensive reinforcements With Marcus smart to try,

1614
01:23:56,640 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 15: to you, know add some intensity, here and even to a,

1615
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 15: man he's been. Fine it just really hasn't had any

1616
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 15: trickle down. Effects so what can they. Do, yeah they

1617
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 15: can make like a marginal move to Get Kean allis

1618
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 15: from The sacramento, things but that's not a game. CHANGER

1619
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 15: i think really what's going to happen is trying to

1620
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 15: at least be competitive enough to be a playoff team

1621
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,719
Speaker 15: that gets the second, round and then make durastic changes

1622
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 15: Once Lebron james presumably retires and they'll have some actual

1623
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 15: cap space to Get giannis if he's still.

1624
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 2: Available all, right let's talk About. Lebron he continues to

1625
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:33,560
Speaker 2: take up way too much here in the. Room but we,

1626
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:38,560
Speaker 2: know we knew that was going to, happen and you

1627
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 2: know there are three there are only three possibilities For

1628
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 2: lebron at this. Point retire which is a zero leave

1629
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 2: for another team in free, agency which is, possibility or

1630
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 2: could you possibly envision BECAUSE i can't this turned back

1631
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 2: to clock to twenty. Fourteen Dirk nowitsky turned down a

1632
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 2: ninety two million dollar OFFER i believe for either The

1633
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 2: lakers Or rockets to stay With, dallas and he signed

1634
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 2: a three year deal eight eight million a, year three

1635
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 2: year deal at eight many a. Year would you Anticipate

1636
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 2: lebron would be willing to do something like that and

1637
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 2: would The lakers even want him because he's in the.

1638
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:16,759
Speaker 15: Way, YEAH i don't see it. HAPPENING i, Mean lebron

1639
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 15: took a pay cut to join The Miami heat when

1640
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 15: he teamed up With Dwayne wade And Chris, bosh but

1641
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 15: that was because he was still in the prime of his.

1642
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 15: Career he hadn't won a championship. Yet since, then he's

1643
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 15: been on the mind that he's not in the business

1644
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 15: of taking pay. Cuts and you, know in, fairness he

1645
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,759
Speaker 15: knows that he's a really great player and he generates

1646
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 15: a lot of. Revenue he hasn't made any public sentiment about,

1647
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 15: that but he has made it clear that he's not

1648
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 15: going to stick around THE nba just to be a

1649
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 15: role player a, while like What Vince carter did to

1650
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 15: play twenty TWO nba. Season SO i, think, really even

1651
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 15: though there's a lot of, UNCERTAINTY i talked to some

1652
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 15: people around the league before It sporty first, birthday some,

1653
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 15: scouts assistant. Coaches no one knows truly what he's going to.

1654
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 15: Do some think He's they still he still wants to

1655
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 15: have that barewell tour for an entire.

1656
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 6: Season you.

1657
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 15: Know another coach, said, hey you know he should go

1658
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 15: to The warriors because you, know he would join a

1659
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:17,439
Speaker 15: pass heavy system and you know him playing With Steph

1660
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 15: curry is nice and you, know as much as the

1661
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 15: chemistry is okay With Luka, doncic he's a ball dominant.

1662
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,560
Speaker 15: Player but IF i had to take a, GUESS i

1663
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 15: think this is the last season and it's just going

1664
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:31,599
Speaker 15: to be one of those things that both parties are

1665
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 15: better off involved for it to end this way so

1666
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 15: that both parties can move. Forward The lakers continue to

1667
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 15: build a roster Around Luka doncic and making even better,

1668
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:44,679
Speaker 15: moves And Lebron, james you, know transitioning to the next

1669
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 15: steps of his post basketball career and then, involves you,

1670
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 15: know trying to tap into an ownership grouping and be

1671
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 15: involved as a. Businessman different end of These, Mark can.

1672
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 2: You really see him setting his ego aside and riding

1673
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 2: off into this sutset and not getting a farewell tour

1674
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 2: Like kareem Abdul. Jabbar did you know he wants?

1675
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 15: That he, well he's Saying, bertie he wants to have

1676
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 15: a farewell, Tour but you know, what he also has

1677
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 15: wanted The lakers to make different roster moves to give

1678
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 15: himself a better chance to win a. Championship and The

1679
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 15: lakers have, said you know, what as much as they

1680
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 15: want to win a, title it's about also protecting the

1681
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,679
Speaker 15: long term future so that they don't have a gutted.

1682
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 15: Roster so What i'm getting At bertie Is lebron, has you,

1683
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 15: know had a great, career but the last few, years

1684
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 15: with the exception of Having Browny james on this, team

1685
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 15: there's a lot of things that hasn't gone his. Way

1686
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 15: so just because he wants it doesn't mean it's going to.

1687
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 15: Happen so WHAT i think is that if he wants

1688
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 15: the farewell, tour he would have to for an entire.

1689
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,560
Speaker 15: Season he would have to come back next season with

1690
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 15: an even more reduced, role a bigger pay, cut AND

1691
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 15: i don't think he wants to do. That so it's

1692
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 15: a matter, of you, know what is it important enough

1693
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 15: to go through an entire, Season and, FRANKLY i don't

1694
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:00,560
Speaker 15: think it is for.

1695
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 2: Him talking With Mark Medina Medina Magic, Our Fox Sports

1696
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 2: RADIO Nba, guru, uh If lebron wants a farewell tour

1697
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 2: so bad with The Cleveland cavaliers out to, do let's face,

1698
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 2: it it's where he. STARTED i even saw him play

1699
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 2: a high school game At Saint Vincent Saint. Mary's he

1700
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 2: can come back play one year there for three point

1701
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 2: three million if he wants it so, bad, right and

1702
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 2: he can be a role player because he's. Not he's

1703
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 2: a glorified role player, NOW i, mean let's just be.

1704
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 2: Honest you watch, him watch him, Play. OKAY i Saw

1705
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 2: kareem Abdul jabar in THE Nba finals in nineteen eighty

1706
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 2: nine at age forty two million times more effective Than

1707
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 2: lebron is right.

1708
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 15: Now, yeah, well look, again he might want a farewell,

1709
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:47,560
Speaker 15: tour but not enough to take a huge. Discount and,

1710
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 15: well but what's the.

1711
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 2: Money at this, Point he's almost a. Billionaire why would

1712
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 2: he need? More why would he need? Both he can't

1713
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 2: have his cake and eat it, too can't. He.

1714
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 15: YEAH i don't think it's about how he needs all this.

1715
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 15: MONEY i mean maybe in some respect if he wants

1716
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 15: to be part of a super, group every dollar. ACCOUNTS

1717
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 15: i think it's just more like with ANY nba, superstar

1718
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 15: they want to leave the way they entered the league

1719
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 15: where they were the guy on the. Team you're seeing

1720
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 15: him at their. Best so, YEAH i don't think he's

1721
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 15: in that. Business the other, thing the WHOLE i mean

1722
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 15: here mentioned about how he's not the same. PLAYER i

1723
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 15: actually asked a scout in light of you know again

1724
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 15: forty first birthday game perspective on his fit With luca

1725
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 15: And Austin reeves and what they make, of you, know

1726
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 15: success failure in his father. Time AND i, asked you

1727
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 15: know a few, people including The, scout what are some

1728
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 15: examples that really capture That lebron is not the same

1729
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 15: player as he once was in his. Prime and he,

1730
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:43,640
Speaker 15: said watch any of his defensive. Clips you'll see it

1731
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 15: requires to play defense in THE nba and be good at,

1732
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 15: it And lebron is. It and he just mentioned like

1733
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 15: he doesn't get back in the. Play his weak side

1734
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 15: defense is. Bad he just points out two teammates what to.

1735
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 15: Do he'll got the occasional, rebound you, know a close out,

1736
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 15: block but he's not really getting after. It so you, know,

1737
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 15: again it's not like he's playing terrible per. Se he's

1738
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:09,559
Speaker 15: still putting up respectable numbers at least to make An

1739
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 15: All star. Team but it's not impacting. Winning and that's

1740
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:16,560
Speaker 15: the key. Thing when he was playing for most of his,

1741
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 15: career he was always impacting. Winning he was always carrying

1742
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 15: a team and he's not doing that this.

1743
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 2: Year last thing about, this but it is. Newsworthy So

1744
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:30,680
Speaker 2: Rob bolinka made the statement, quote we would love If

1745
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 2: lebron's story would be to retire as A. Laker that

1746
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 2: seems completely vacuous to. Me how does that? Look is

1747
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 2: he's going to bring him back next? Year is he

1748
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:39,720
Speaker 2: going to want him to retire this year as A?

1749
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 2: Laker how does that? Look how does that manifest itself

1750
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 2: as a practical matter at this?

1751
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 15: Point, WELL i think you had to take it in

1752
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 15: the literal. Sense he just said it would be a

1753
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 15: nice ending for him to retire as A. Laker but

1754
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 15: that didn't mean he said it would be a nice

1755
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 15: ending if he stayed for another. YEAR i think what

1756
01:30:55,880 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 15: he's insinuating is it'd be nice if you end your basketball.

1757
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:00,640
Speaker 7: Career after the.

1758
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 15: Season so that's the Way i've.

1759
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,680
Speaker 2: Interpreted, okay that's. Fair that's WHY i thought the statement was.

1760
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 2: Vacuous but you know he fair, enough all. Right Draymond

1761
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:14,679
Speaker 2: green gets a couple of technicals and is ejected Again saturday,

1762
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 2: night and frankly The warriors need. Him, okay but this,

1763
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 2: IS i guess a mundane. Question will this ever? End

1764
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 2: what what is it going to take to fix this?

1765
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:28,560
Speaker 2: Guy The commission doesn't seem to. Care Steve kerr just

1766
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:30,599
Speaker 2: really AND i have a lot of respect For Steve,

1767
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 2: kerr but he's clearly an enabler at this. Point what

1768
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 2: do you?

1769
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 15: Do, yeah you really can't do much of. ANYTHING i,

1770
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 15: Mean Draymond green is who he is at this. Point you,

1771
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 15: know THE nba has rules if you get sixteen technical,

1772
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 15: fouls you get a one game. Suspension so it's not

1773
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 15: like THE nba is not doing. Anything they have that

1774
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,800
Speaker 15: for every. Player but, yeah he's got him gotten a.

1775
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 15: Lot he's already at nine this. SEASON i think when

1776
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:58,840
Speaker 15: you look At draymond's track, record he usually toes the

1777
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 15: line before he came the sixteenth. Technical now there is

1778
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 15: the infamous exception when you, know in twenty sixteen he

1779
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:10,759
Speaker 15: had a serve that one game suspension the finals because

1780
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 15: of all, That but that wasn't arguing with the. Refs

1781
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 15: that was a you, know Play Iron Lebron james where

1782
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,839
Speaker 15: he got called for it and he would adomly disagree

1783
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 15: to it to this day because he Felt lebron, was you,

1784
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 15: know he was stepping over him and he didn't like.

1785
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 15: That so but that, aside even Though draymond clearly always goes,

1786
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 15: overboard towes the, line always argues with the refs when

1787
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:40,639
Speaker 15: he does get close to, sixteen he suddenly restrains, himself

1788
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:42,759
Speaker 15: and SO i suspect that will be the same thing moving.

1789
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:46,040
Speaker 2: Forward well well Sair EN I talt With Mark Medina Medina,

1790
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:49,320
Speaker 2: magic A Fox sports radio guru also writer For Essentially.

1791
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 2: Sports All, Right Mark, friday Is january. Ninth this is

1792
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 2: becoming a bit more of a. Story and that is

1793
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 2: the collective bargaining agreement between the DOUBLE unba and their players'.

1794
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 2: Association it expires in about five, days AND i REALLY

1795
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 2: i get. It If january ninth comes and goes without

1796
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 2: a new, agreement it DOESN'T i, mean the season is

1797
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 2: not slated to start for five, months and et, cetera et.

1798
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:17,600
Speaker 2: Cetera but the rhetoric now is getting, worse and we

1799
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 2: are now we've not been made aware courtesy OF, espn

1800
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,600
Speaker 2: that if the players got what they wanted based on

1801
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 2: their current, proposal the league would lose seven hundred million

1802
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 2: dollars next year based on their econometric. Model do you

1803
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 2: still believe cooler heads are going to prevail because the

1804
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 2: league is beating its, chest the players are really beating their.

1805
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 15: Chest, YEAH i think horror heads are going to. Prevail

1806
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:43,919
Speaker 15: What i've learned when it comes TO cba, negotiations possible,

1807
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 15: lockouts deadlines mean. Nothing they just throw that out there

1808
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 15: to try to cast you, know this sense of urgency

1809
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 15: or you, know point of no. Return but they often

1810
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:59,719
Speaker 15: break those, deadlines and, ultimately you, know once they actually

1811
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 15: have to start the, season they then. Prevailed now you might, counter,

1812
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:06,240
Speaker 15: hey well THE nba had that lockout in twenty, eleven

1813
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 15: they still missed the beginning of the. Season but you

1814
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 15: know what they, did they made sure that they still

1815
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 15: got Those christmas games in time because that's usually when

1816
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 15: people tune.

1817
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 6: In so what does this mean to THE.

1818
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,200
Speaker 15: Wnba they're not going to miss any games in the

1819
01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 15: season because they know it's a different. Circumstance they have

1820
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:26,640
Speaker 15: some upwards momentum with women's basketball, popularity and they know

1821
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,720
Speaker 15: that any game that's, missed it's going to be not

1822
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,600
Speaker 15: just loss of revenue and money for both, sides but

1823
01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 15: loss of attention span because it's going to be out of,

1824
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,360
Speaker 15: sight out of. Mind SO i know that they say

1825
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 15: This january nine, deadline But i'm not buying. It if

1826
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:44,000
Speaker 15: they go past, it they'll eventually have the cooler heads

1827
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 15: prevailed so that they still start the season on.

1828
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 2: Time, martin why DRE i made my debut in radio

1829
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 2: in the summer ninety four because of my baseball, BACKGROUND

1830
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 2: i covered the. Strike they set a date Of august,

1831
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 2: eleventh and they stuck to it and canceled The World.

1832
01:34:56,479 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 2: Series if these folks were really we're really, serious they

1833
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 2: should have struck before THE, nba before THE Wnba, finals

1834
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 2: when they may have had whatever little leverage they wish they.

1835
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 2: Had they don't have any. Leverage, mark no one will

1836
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 2: missed this league if it goes. Away in two thousand and,

1837
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 2: THREE i believe it was they threatened to, strike And

1838
01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 2: lawrence And briant said, Strike, well shut you down. Tomorrow we're.

1839
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 10: Done, well here's the.

1840
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 15: Thing i'll slightly push back in the SENSE i only

1841
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 15: the players can't afford to have this. Lockout but to

1842
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 15: say there's no, LEVERAGE i, MEAN i would argue that

1843
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 15: the leverage is the same way why the, player the

1844
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 15: same reason why the players should feel. Vulnerable the league

1845
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 15: should also feel vulnerable because they know that never in

1846
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 15: the history of THE wnba has a league bit more,

1847
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 15: popular and if it shuts, down it's gonna hurt the

1848
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:44,679
Speaker 15: league as. Well SO i think that's where the possible leverage.

1849
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 15: Is two sides playing, chicken and no one wants to

1850
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 15: fall off that.

1851
01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 2: Close, well they're not making. Money they did make money last,

1852
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 2: year so if the league doesn't, play the owners don't

1853
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:57,679
Speaker 2: lose any more. Money SO i don't. Know the LEVERAGE

1854
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 2: i think is theoretical because a few more people like

1855
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 2: it because they gave away a lot of free seats

1856
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:05,360
Speaker 2: and five dollars, tickets so young girls who's probably their

1857
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 2: demo can grow up and, say, hey MAYBE i can

1858
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 2: do that. Someday and that's all. Fair but when you,

1859
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 2: Know i've read as much of the agreement AS i,

1860
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 2: can it seems pretty generous to me based on where

1861
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:17,719
Speaker 2: they are are you talk about players making a million

1862
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:20,080
Speaker 2: a year now five hundred and fifty grand a, year

1863
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 2: some revenue sharing seems pretty generous to. Me and they're

1864
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 2: beating their chest, like you, know without, us you got.

1865
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 2: Nothing and so we'll just continue to watch it Next

1866
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:32,719
Speaker 2: saturday at this time A sunday morning when we sign.

1867
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 2: On will there.

1868
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:34,719
Speaker 9: Be a, Deal.

1869
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:39,759
Speaker 15: I'm not, sure but there'll be a deal before the season.

1870
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 2: Starts, okay that's probably a safe. Prediction but the players

1871
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:46,759
Speaker 2: are going to have to back off because the owners

1872
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:49,680
Speaker 2: there's no reason for them, too and the only way

1873
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:51,680
Speaker 2: to find, out the only way to find out if

1874
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:55,679
Speaker 2: they really have leverage is to strike and THE nba

1875
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:57,640
Speaker 2: players there was a workstop at in ninety four and

1876
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 2: they didn't start Till january ninety. Five it actually was

1877
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:02,560
Speaker 2: a pretty good season that. Year we called it the

1878
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:05,560
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five ninety FIVE nba. Season it was a

1879
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:09,200
Speaker 2: fast and FURIOUS i think sixty games or, so and

1880
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 2: it was pretty pretty good. Season, Actually, mark, LISTEN i

1881
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 2: don't think there were a hell of a lot of

1882
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 2: big headlines this, week So i'll let you close it

1883
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:22,760
Speaker 2: out with whatever we want to know THAT i forgot to, Ask, hey, WELL.

1885
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 15: look THE nba this, season it's kind of a wild while,

1886
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 15: west both of The Eastern conference And Western. Conference so you,

1887
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:35,759
Speaker 15: KNOW i know that we talk a lot About lebron

1888
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,439
Speaker 15: and just everything going on with The, lakers but you're

1889
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 15: looking at parody from top to. Bottom no matter what you,

1890
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 15: know issues we have with load management and do people

1891
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 15: care about the regular, season or what do you make

1892
01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 15: of THIS Nba cup at least from a bottom line?

1893
01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 15: Standpoint with the, standings there's a lot of good parody

1894
01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 15: in the, league and because of, THAT i expect that nothing,

1895
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 15: else the playoffs are going to be, very very fun to.

1896
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 15: Watch and even THOUGH i think that the thunder are

1897
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 15: going to defend their, championship there's a lot of worthy

1898
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 15: contenders that can challenge. Them we've seen The spurs already

1899
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,879
Speaker 15: beat them a few times this. Season The Denver, nuggets

1900
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 15: even though they have some injury questions With Nakole, okicic

1901
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,320
Speaker 15: you can't count them. Out The, rockets they Got Kevin,

1902
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 15: Durant they've been going through some ups and, downs they

1903
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:24,800
Speaker 15: have a young, core and The Eastern, conference as we,

1904
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 15: discussed the game of the show is wide open And

1905
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 15: boston has shown that they still deserve to be a

1906
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 15: major player and much kudos And Jaylen brown for that

1907
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 15: with this systy point night, tonight and he was very

1908
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 15: adamant that he feels like he's the best two way

1909
01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 15: player in the, world so he's very salty that he

1910
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,720
Speaker 15: didn't get THAT Nba player of The month that went

1911
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 15: To Jaylen brunson with The. Knicks and because of all,

1912
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 15: THIS i think The Eastern conference is just going to

1913
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 15: be as captivating in the playoffs as it will be

1914
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 15: in The, west.

1915
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 2: Especially if The celtics And knicks. Lockhorns, yeah and they

1916
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 2: both got about the same. Record and even though The

1917
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 2: knicks have lost three in a, row what a ratings

1918
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 2: boon it would be for THE nba if The knicks

1919
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:05,479
Speaker 2: got to THE Nba.

1920
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 15: Finals, well, LOOK i mean that would be, great but

1921
01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 15: let's not forget Your detroit pissons in your. Backyard they're

1922
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,200
Speaker 15: the real. DEAL i know that they've gone through some

1923
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 15: relative rough patches last two games with the wa their

1924
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:19,800
Speaker 15: defense has been BUT i expect that they're going to

1925
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 15: course correct pretty. Soon they've shown through most of the

1926
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 15: first core of the season that they are the real.

1927
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 15: Deal Kay cuneham deserves to be AN mvp, Conversation Usar

1928
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:32,879
Speaker 15: thompson deserves to be considered for An all The defensive,

1929
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 15: team and, YEAH. Jb bickerstaff should be considered as A

1930
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 15: coach of The YEAR kiv as.

1931
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:40,559
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, NO i. Agree they're going to be an

1932
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 2: extremely tough. Out they went at, home they went on the,

1933
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 2: Road they beat The lakers by twenty last and they

1934
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 2: played with their food for two and a half quarters

1935
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 2: and they, Said, okay we're going to have some fun, now, so,

1936
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 2: yeah you're, right that would. Be but just just for,

1937
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 2: posterity can you imagine The knicks and can you imagine

1938
01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 2: A Knicks furs? Final non basketball fans will watched that

1939
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 2: out of. CURIOSITY i, BELIEVE i really believe.

1940
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 15: That they had that in nineteen ninety. Nine it wasn't

1941
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,880
Speaker 15: the same, impact BUT i think here it would be

1942
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,759
Speaker 15: pretty popular because there's this generational talent Named Victor Webben

1943
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 15: damma and The New York knicks that really started for

1944
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 15: that championship since they last won in seventy.

1945
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 2: Three, yes, yeah we were talking over fifty, years, yep

1946
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,639
Speaker 2: and they. Came did they take it to seven games

1947
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:22,840
Speaker 2: in ninety? Nine was that The John?

1948
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:28,839
Speaker 15: Starks, yeah that was The that was The Spurs David Robinson.

1949
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 15: CHAMPIONSHIP i believe it was at some six, games BUT

1950
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 15: i might be mistaken it was five.

1951
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 2: Games Maybe i'm thinking of The, Okay i'm thinking when

1952
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 2: The knicks lost in seven games to The bulls when

1953
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 2: Pat riley was. There those were the good, actually those

1954
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 2: were kind of the better old.

1955
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 15: Days In rockets in ninety. Four you might be thinking about.

1956
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 2: That, WELL i certainly remember that very well because that

1957
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 2: was an out of The White Bronco, chase and no

1958
01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 2: one knew that the right, RIGHT i was in a

1959
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 2: press box Of. Detroit that was one of the wackiest

1960
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 2: sports nights in, history in the least of which you

Speaker 2: of key, issues including revenue, sharing et. Cetera AND i

1970
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:41,640

1971
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 2: eight times higher than the current salary, cap so there's

1972
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 2: lots of opportunity for the players to really increase their.

1973
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 2: PAY i think they're crazy not to take this and

2000
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,160
Speaker 2: Teams the average every year is about seven and in

2001
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five we actually saw two coaches fired. Midseason

2002
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 2: The titans parted ways With Brian callahan and The giants

2003
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 2: sent To Brian dable packing he was an immediate net

2004
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 2: improven For. Tennessee, well The giants will you know how

2005
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 2: The giants have, Been but they're not the only ones

2006
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:43,560
Speaker 2: that are making the rounds as the usual. Suspects SO

2007
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 2: i don't call for anybody's. Job but you read the

2008
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 2: tea leaves and these are the NAMES i think that

2009
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:53,000
Speaker 2: people will be watching On. Monday all these names could be,

2010
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:59,360
Speaker 2: gone some certainly will, be maybe some won't. Be But mike,

2011
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:02,600
Speaker 2: McDaniel the question now is The Miami. Dolphins is McDaniel

2012
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 2: possibly done enough to save his? Job, maybe, see for

2013
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 2: most of the year it seemed like a you, know

2014
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 2: pretty much a led pipe since that McDaniel this would

2015
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 2: probably be his last year In. Miami then The dolphins

2016
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 2: won five of their last seven, games and so it's

2017
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:23,560
Speaker 2: not necessarily a foregone. Conclusion we don't, know you know

2018
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 2: the limitations Of mike McDaniel as a head. Coach he's

2019
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 2: an OFFENSIVE i hate to we use the word, genius

2020
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 2: but he clearly is an offensive smart. Guy but the

2021
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 2: leadership department and THE ceo of a whole, Team i'm

2022
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 2: not sure that act was kind of cute at. First

2023
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 2: the media loved them because they look like most of

2024
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 2: these media. Guys but the decision that The dolphins have

2025
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 2: to make is whether or not they think McDaniel can

2026
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 2: groll the team from, here if he can perhaps be

2027
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 2: a bit more of a of a you, know outgoing vocal.

2028
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 2: Leader he's only forty two years, old, okay three years

2029
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:04,240
Speaker 2: older Than sean, McVay but he's Not sean. McVay you

2030
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:08,560
Speaker 2: see the. Difference but If miami lets McDaniel, GO i

2031
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 2: will just about guarantee you, this he'll have AN oc.

2032
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:14,120
Speaker 2: Job in about five, minutes someone will snap him up

2033
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 2: as his offensive. Coordinator i've even heard rumors so far

2034
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:20,680
Speaker 2: as to say that he could end up In cleveland next,

2035
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:23,600
Speaker 2: year BUT i don't, know we'll see this one's intriguing to,

2036
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 2: Me Pete carroll because The raiders have had five coaches

2037
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 2: in the last six, years if include interim With Rich

2038
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 2: pasacia and At Tonio, pierce WHO i understand we'll get

2039
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 2: IN nfl. Interviews, SEE i thought he did okay Job.

2040
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 2: Pierce The raiders do this every. Year this is gonna

2041
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:47,760
Speaker 2: be our. Year we Got Pete. Carroll they were four

2042
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 2: and thirteen last, year but they're breman with. Talent you

2043
01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 2: Had Geno, Smith Pete carroll hand picked. Him you Had Ashton,

2044
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:57,360
Speaker 2: Genty Pete carroll picked, him hand picked. Him you Had

01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 2: to be a dark horse for a playoffs Body, yeah.

2047
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 2: BOLONEY i never believed it. Once. NOW i didn't think

2048
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:09,120
Speaker 2: they'd be this. Bad AND i don't think there's Anything

2049
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:13,200
Speaker 2: Pete carroll could do to help this. Team his LEGACY

2050
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 2: i think is fairly well secure with what he did

2051
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 2: at se and what he did With. Seattle BUT i

2052
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 2: don't think he's been impressive this. YEAR i don't know

2053
01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 2: IF i let him, go because what are you going

2054
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:27,680
Speaker 2: to do your six coach in seven? Years, AGAIN i

2055
01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 2: don't know what. Happened people want to say he look,

2056
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:34,400
Speaker 2: lost the games passed him. BY i don't it's against

2057
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 2: a lot of practice psychology With thatt a, License i'm

2058
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 2: not going to do. That but he didn't produce. Results they.

2059
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,919
Speaker 2: Regressed they told us they'd be, better and they regressed.

2060
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 2: Badly they're not even, competitive no real appreciable. Adjustments the

2061
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 2: team fought a little, bit but they seem to go

2062
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:54,040
Speaker 2: through the motions a. Lot you, know unless you are

2063
01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 2: on the radio covering the, radios we get. It you

2064
01:46:57,439 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 2: want a cheerlead for the, team just BECAUSE i don't do,

2065
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:03,200
Speaker 2: that AND i covered THE o and Sixteen Detroit. LIONS

2066
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 2: i don't believe in adham when i'm attacks. EITHER i

2067
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,760
Speaker 2: don't believe in making someone a punchline just for the

2068
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:12,960
Speaker 2: sake of a cheap radio. Trick BUT i also believe

2069
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:15,919
Speaker 2: in being a keen observer and not insulting my. AUDIENCE

2070
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:19,679
Speaker 2: i trust my eyes and tell me a. Lot the question,

2071
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 2: is if your paycheck was on the, line would you

2072
01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 2: Want Pete carroll leading the. Charge they're gonna have a

2073
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:28,360
Speaker 2: top five, pick maybe the number one overall, pick AND

2074
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 2: i don't, know maybe there's just sort of this Ceremonial pete, says,

2075
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 2: ah maybe it's time for me to step. Away they

2076
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:35,800
Speaker 2: get the man his, dignity and then The raiders can

2077
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 2: find a new coach without any. Embarrassment but they're already. Embarrassed,

2078
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 2: OKAY i don't. KNOW i don't know what you do

2079
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:45,080
Speaker 2: With Pete. CARROLL i don't know who the replacements. Are

2080
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:47,560
Speaker 2: and given the fact that they're all for five and

2081
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 2: their last, Five La gruden was just bad. Luck bisachia

2082
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 2: was a. Mistake they should give them a. CHANCE i

2083
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:57,160
Speaker 2: thought our show at one time was an interim. Coach

2084
01:47:57,280 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 2: but The raiders do things what The raiders do. Now Kevin. Stefanski,

2085
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:05,720
Speaker 2: look If kevin's here's another guy he may or may

2086
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:08,040
Speaker 2: not be. FIRED i don't. KNOW i don't think he

2087
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 2: Likes Shador. Sanders he's a two Time coach of The,

2088
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 2: year but he's only had two winning seasons in six.

2089
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,640
Speaker 2: Years but how do you win with that? Franchise if

2090
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:23,560
Speaker 2: you read the tea, leaves it doesn't really look Like

2091
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 2: stefanski is back next. Year, okay you get down to brass.

2092
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:32,000
Speaker 2: Tacks everything is sort of stagnated after six, years and

2093
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:37,280
Speaker 2: in THE nfl sometimes they do make change just to make. Change,

2094
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 2: look there are dozens of reasons why none of this

2095
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 2: Messes stefanski's. Fault they've drafted, Poorly they've done poorly in free,

2096
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 2: agency The Deshaun watson. Debacle what was he supposed to do?

2097
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 2: There there isn't a coach working today that would have

2098
01:48:56,840 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 2: succeeded in those. Conditions but at some point you need

2099
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 2: a fresh, start AND i would say there's a Chance

2100
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:08,559
Speaker 2: tofanski's gone probably better than fifty to. Fifty but at

2101
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 2: the same, time he'll get a job quickly too. ELSEWHERE

2102
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:14,960
Speaker 2: i think the man can. COACH i think who's in

2103
01:49:15,080 --> 01:49:20,560
Speaker 2: a terrible situation. Now Zach. Taylor The Cincinnati bengals is

2104
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:24,560
Speaker 2: an interesting. One, okay The bengals are a cheap. ORGANIZATION

2105
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:30,080
Speaker 2: i don't know anybody that raves About Zach taylor raves

2106
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 2: for his imagination or his coaching. Talent he's Had Joe

2107
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 2: burrow And Jamar, chase AND i don't know that they've you,

2108
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,280
Speaker 2: Know burro's been. HURT i get. It but he's got

2109
01:49:43,320 --> 01:49:45,800
Speaker 2: a contract running through twenty twenty. Seven there's a Chance.

2110
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:48,760
Speaker 2: Cincinnati cincinnati would just, say, wait we don't want to

2111
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 2: have to pay a guy who's not going to be.

2112
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:53,559
Speaker 2: Here but he's got a winning percentage of four fifty

2113
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 2: seven and The bengals have been a laughing. Stock now

2114
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 2: they finished the season strong like they always. Doing it

2115
01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:03,639
Speaker 2: doesn't matter and it's going to depend On Mike. Brown

2116
01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 2: does he want to open his checkbook to go get

2117
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,800
Speaker 2: a new coach in the next new shiny Toy and

2118
01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 2: does he want to Pay Zach taylor for the next

2119
01:50:10,120 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 2: two years to not be? There but he's on the. List,

2120
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 2: Okay so these are guys that are on the list For,

2121
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:23,639
Speaker 2: Monday mike, McDaniel Pete, Carroll Devin, Stefanski Zach. Taylor next,

2122
01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:29,679
Speaker 2: Up Jonathan gannon of The Arizona. Cardinals, Okay arizona started,

2123
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 2: slow then, faded and The Kyler murray experiment is. Over

2124
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 2: the big knock On Jonathan gannon is that there has

2125
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,360
Speaker 2: been zero improvement on the defensive side of the ball

2126
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 2: Because Jonathan gannon was the defensive. Guy they're twenty ninth

2127
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:47,920
Speaker 2: in points, allowed twenty fourth against the, pass twenty fifth

2128
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 2: against the. Run and even though The cardinals have struggled

2129
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,320
Speaker 2: a quarterback this, year even though Give Jacobe presseatt a

2130
01:50:56,800 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 2: tremendous amount of credit for competing and putting together some good,

2131
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 2: games it was a defense that defense couldn't stop a,

2132
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:07,120
Speaker 2: parade and that's what got blamed for The wolves this.

2133
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:10,040
Speaker 2: Year And Jonathan gannon was a defensive. Guy so three

2134
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 2: years of missed, playoffs no. Improvement they seem to be

2135
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:16,120
Speaker 2: a rudderless ship with no. Direction now you got a

2136
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 2: potential new quarterback on the. HORIZON i would, say of

2137
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:23,519
Speaker 2: Everybody i've mentioned so, far the most, likely even more Than,

2138
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 2: stefanski is That Jonathan gannon maybe seeking employment elsewhere next. Year,

2139
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 2: now this next one has to be on the. LIST

2140
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 2: i don't give a damn what anybody. Says i'm talking

2141
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:38,320
Speaker 2: About John. HARBALL i get. It hardball is a great.

2142
01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 2: Coach his tenure with The ravens feels, like, well how

2143
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 2: much longer should he? Be there been thirteen years since

2144
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 2: he won The Super. Bowl baltimore has been in the

2145
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:54,719
Speaker 2: playoffs most of that. Time but look up under achievement

2146
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:58,640
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and in the dictionary In baltimore's name

2147
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,680
Speaker 2: is next to. It Lamar jackson. Era he's three and

2148
01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 2: five in the. Playoffs we've talked about. This they've had

2149
01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 2: it set up for him nicely a couple. Times two years,

2150
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:08,720
Speaker 2: Ago Kansas city had to go Into baltimore and beat.

2151
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:11,360
Speaker 2: Him everybody Thought baltimore is going to win that. Game not,

2152
01:52:11,520 --> 01:52:14,960
Speaker 2: me not. ME i Guess John harball is a lot

2153
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:19,320
Speaker 2: better coach when you've got you, Know Ray lewis And

2154
01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:24,240
Speaker 2: Ed reid and that. Group, okay, Finally Aaron glenn of

2155
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 2: The New York. Jets, NOW i don't think you god

2156
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 2: should be one and, done but he doesn't show to

2157
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,679
Speaker 2: me that he's a legit head, coach good defensive. Coordinator

2158
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 2: jets have been one of the worst teams in football this. Year,

2159
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 2: okay feels a little Like Jared mayer's one year tenure

2160
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,960
Speaker 2: with The. Patriots it's not a fair outcome For. Glenn

2161
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 2: he's one of the you, know but HE i, mean

2162
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:48,000
Speaker 2: he left a great spot In detroit as a defensive.

2163
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:50,760
Speaker 2: Coordinator but you, know come, on it just isn't. Working

Speaker 2: that might be getting new coaches next, year well guess,

2175
01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 2: what there's a quarterback carousel that manages to find its

2176
01:53:37,280 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 2: way to The National Football league every. Year, now listen

2177
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:42,519
Speaker 2: close in here if you hear some of the same,

2178
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:48,200
Speaker 2: teams The Cleveland, Browns, Well Shudor sanders has had his

2179
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:51,680
Speaker 2: chance to make us cache down the stretch as to

2180
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:58,680
Speaker 2: someone who might be fighting to be the number ONE

2181
01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:05,360
Speaker 2: qb one heading into twenty twenty. Six But i've been

2182
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:07,880
Speaker 2: waiting for this comparison because they had to both have

2183
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 2: the same. Opportunity so let me let me share this with,

2184
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:16,360
Speaker 2: you Because Shador sanders is now taking three hundred and

2185
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 2: seventy six snaps in his tenure with The browns And

2186
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:25,680
Speaker 2: Dylan gabriel's taking three hundred and seventy two. Snaps but

2187
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:28,880
Speaker 2: The Chador posse thinks he's so much? Better is? He

2188
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:35,320
Speaker 2: gabriel completed one hundred and ten. Passes chador one hundred and.

2189
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 2: Nine gabriel threw for seven touchdowns and two, Interceptions chadors

2190
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:46,320
Speaker 2: doing for seven touchdowns ten. INTERCEPTIONS i could go up

2191
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:47,640
Speaker 2: and down and give a bunch of numbers on the,

2192
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:52,320
Speaker 2: radio but he hasn't separated himself in my, View SO

2193
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 2: i Think cleveland likely is gonna use a pair of

2194
01:54:57,360 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 2: first round picks to target a quarterback the top of

2195
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:03,879
Speaker 2: next year. Draft we shall, see but that's my. Opinion

2196
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 2: another team that was mentioned In New York jets may

2197
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,480
Speaker 2: have a new. Coach, WELL i don't See Justin fields

2198
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:11,920
Speaker 2: is gonna get the second half of his two, year

2199
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 2: forty million. Dollars dally signed with The jets laft. Offseason

2200
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:18,879
Speaker 2: when The jets traded Away Sauce gardner And Quinnin. Williams

2201
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 2: that Gave New york five first round picks over the

2202
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 2: next two, years and three are in twenty twenty, seven

2203
01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:29,000
Speaker 2: which figures to be a stronger quarterback. CLASS i don't

2204
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 2: know if The jets will force it This, april BUT

2205
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:33,240
Speaker 2: i can tell you right. Now And i've always kind

2206
01:55:33,240 --> 01:55:35,920
Speaker 2: of liked To Rob. Taylor he's a good. Backup but

2207
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 2: there's a real argument to be made The jets load

2208
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:44,800
Speaker 2: up this year on other positions of, need and then

2209
01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:48,960
Speaker 2: when the time, comes they'll have the draft capitally get a.

2210
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 2: Quarterback SO i think there's a carousel there as. Well

2211
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 2: same situation with The Arizona. Cardinals, OKAY i Think tua

2212
01:55:57,880 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 2: he is a. Guy it's just for whatever, reason it

2213
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,320
Speaker 2: just hasn't whether it's the, concussions the. Injuries he's the

2214
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:07,440
Speaker 2: only highly paid veteran in the entire league this year

2215
01:56:07,480 --> 01:56:11,280
Speaker 2: that's going to finish the season on the. Sidelines or

2216
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 2: check That Kyler murray is the. SAME i compared them to,

2217
01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:19,080
Speaker 2: too because those are of all the Quarterbacks i'm talking,

2218
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:24,800
Speaker 2: about these are highly paid. Guys, look something happened With

2219
01:56:25,200 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 2: Kyler murray and he fell into his. Favor they talked

2220
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 2: about his injured. Foot Jacoby brissett has done a pretty

2221
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:35,360
Speaker 2: damn good job filling, In But arizona's just a broken team.

2222
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 2: Somehow Kyler murray is guaranteed thirty six man in twenty twenty,

2223
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:41,960
Speaker 2: six so The cards might have to eat some money

2224
01:56:42,680 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 2: to find a trade. Partner BUT i don't think you'll

2225
01:56:45,840 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 2: See Kyler murray as your starting quarterback In arizona. Too

2226
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:52,000
Speaker 2: let's get to him now the writing's been on the

2227
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 2: wall In. Miami and, again notice how these. Teams quarterback

2228
01:56:54,800 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 2: Coach Miami Arizona jats browns to is sitting for the

2229
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:04,040
Speaker 2: final three weeks of the. Season and he's the latest

2230
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:07,680
Speaker 2: example of a team obviously looking to avoid the injury

2231
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 2: guarantees as The raiders did With Derek carr four years.

2232
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 2: Ago tua's do fifty four million in guaranteed money next,

2233
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 2: year but a performance based benching is What tua is

2234
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 2: dealing with right, now and he's making a lot of

2235
01:57:22,360 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 2: money And miami's setting the. STAGE i think to part

2236
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:26,960
Speaker 2: ways with. Them and there was another guy who was

2237
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 2: a former first ROUNDER i had VERY i For ta

2238
01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:32,800
Speaker 2: coming into the. League remember the tank For tua, Again

2239
01:57:32,920 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 2: that's WHY i did the tanking subject tonight on the

2240
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:39,320
Speaker 2: on The midnight mur BECAUSE i don't believe it. Works

2241
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 2: they're in a tough Spot, Miami. Okay you know they

2242
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:47,880
Speaker 2: could potentially saddle themselves with ninety nine million in dead cat,

2243
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 2: money and SO i think the bottom line, is you,

2244
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 2: know they got to find themselves a quarterback and it's

2245
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 2: not going to be too but they got work to.

2246
01:57:55,800 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 2: Do same with The, raiders all, Right they told they

2247
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 2: were getting a steal when they Got Gino smith for

2248
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 2: a third round pick this past. Offseason but he's a cast.

2249
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 2: Off he's a cast. Off he's a mid. Quarterback that's

2250
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 2: what he did for much of his time as a

2251
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:13,760
Speaker 2: starter In. SEATTLE i Think Pete carroll overrated. Him it's

2252
01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:17,160
Speaker 2: a big swing and a. Miss the situation also never

2253
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:20,560
Speaker 2: really Gave smith much of a. Chance and you, know

2254
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 2: how do you stick with a thirty five year old

2255
01:58:23,480 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 2: when he throws the ball to the other team and

2256
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 2: leads the league in. Interceptions i'm not picking on. Him,

2257
01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 2: look he's had his time in THE. Nfl, now the

2258
01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 2: only team here that their coach is now in the

2259
01:58:33,600 --> 01:58:37,200
Speaker 2: hot seat That i'm mentioning of this group Is. Pittsburgh

2260
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:40,120
Speaker 2: Now Rogers Aaron rodgers is STILL i think a, serviceable

2261
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:44,360
Speaker 2: capable starting. Quarterback SO i Think pittsburgh there's a chance

2262
01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 2: he returns for another. Year but we don't know If

2263
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:50,120

Speaker 2: Reputation Casey stengel said it best once The New York,

Speaker 2: can't beat The. Yankees they just get stuck staring at the. Pinstripes.

2294
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:40,200
Speaker 2: Well Nick saban told the story Before indiana kicked it

2295
02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:43,920
Speaker 2: off Against alabama On thursday in The Rose, bowl mentioned

2296
02:00:43,960 --> 02:00:46,480
Speaker 2: that he was golfing with some of his buddies on

2297
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:51,640
Speaker 2: the first tee His Crimson tide palace basically, said, quote

2298
02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:57,240
Speaker 2: we should kick The ish out Of indiana. Now other

2299
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:03,480
Speaker 2: than reputation and history and The Crimson tide, colors what

2300
02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:06,600
Speaker 2: are the factors they considered and thinking that would automatically?

2301
02:01:06,680 --> 02:01:09,800
Speaker 2: Happen because if you looked at the final six games

2302
02:01:10,360 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Before alabama got on the field Against Indiana, thursday they

2303
02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:20,160
Speaker 2: needed two touchdowns in the final two minutes to beat

2304
02:01:20,200 --> 02:01:24,160
Speaker 2: A South carolina team that was four and. Eight, granted

2305
02:01:24,240 --> 02:01:29,600
Speaker 2: they did BEAT lsu by ten and they're at home

2306
02:01:29,880 --> 02:01:33,760
Speaker 2: in LSU's first game after Firing Brian. Kelly then they

2307
02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:37,200
Speaker 2: proceeded to lose at home To. Oklahoma then it took

2308
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:40,520
Speaker 2: a late fourth quarter touchdown to Beat, auburn who was

2309
02:01:40,560 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 2: only five and. Seven then in THE sec title, Game,

2310
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:47,600
Speaker 2: bama who frankly had Beaten georgia earlier the, year lost

2311
02:01:47,640 --> 02:01:50,680
Speaker 2: To georgia by three touchdowns twenty eight to. Seven and

2312
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:52,960
Speaker 2: then they had to come back from seventeen zip deficit

2313
02:01:53,040 --> 02:01:55,760
Speaker 2: to Beat oklahoma on the, road found themselves as seven

2314
02:01:55,800 --> 02:01:59,800
Speaker 2: and a half point. Underdogs so the only reason that

2315
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:03,360
Speaker 2: those golfing buddies Of sabans that Were alabama friends fans

2316
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:06,160
Speaker 2: would say we should kick the issh out Of, indiana

2317
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 2: he's because of what took place in the. Past But

2318
02:02:11,760 --> 02:02:14,760
Speaker 2: Kurt signetti said it. Best he, said our players don't

2319
02:02:14,840 --> 02:02:18,560
Speaker 2: really know anything About alabama's historic. Dominance they just know

2320
02:02:18,600 --> 02:02:22,200
Speaker 2: what they see on. Film whether you like it or.

2321
02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:24,520
Speaker 2: Not indiana is the best team in the country right,

2322
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:27,600
Speaker 2: now and yet still in many, circles And i'm looking

2323
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:29,640
Speaker 2: at You Cam newton for your comments the other, day

2324
02:02:30,640 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 2: they're still in some. Circles The Rodney, dingerfield a college.

2325
02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 2: Football they get no respect even though they're fourteen to.

2326
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:41,440
Speaker 2: Zero you're a consensus number one in a bunch of

2327
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 2: computer ratings before they put that thirty eight to three

2328
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:48,920
Speaker 2: caning On alabama On New Year's. Day their Quarterback Fernando

2329
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:54,840
Speaker 2: mendoza just won The Heisman. Trophy is part Of indiana's.

2330
02:02:54,920 --> 02:02:58,720
Speaker 2: Resume they Beat oregon At, oregon who was ranked number

2331
02:02:58,720 --> 02:03:01,760
Speaker 2: five at the. Time they beat number Two Ohio state

2332
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,000
Speaker 2: and the defending champion In Ohio state in The Big Ten.

2333
02:03:04,200 --> 02:03:12,880
Speaker 2: Championship and there is no logical way to, think, assume

2334
02:03:13,680 --> 02:03:17,920
Speaker 2: or wish that this is not completely, legitimate if it's

2335
02:03:17,960 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 2: even if it's JUST iu on the side of their.

2336
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 2: Helmet but people's brains and impressions and thought patterns are

2337
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 2: sometimes stubborn and in, denial and they're a funny. Thing

2338
02:03:30,800 --> 02:03:33,360
Speaker 2: until a couple of years, Ago indiana was merely a

2339
02:03:33,440 --> 02:03:37,560
Speaker 2: basketball school that had a football. Team, NOW i remember

2340
02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:39,720
Speaker 2: going to The Holiday bowl in nineteen seventy nine when

2341
02:03:39,720 --> 02:03:41,839

2342
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:44,000
Speaker 2: thirty eight to thirty, seven and one of the most

2343
02:03:44,040 --> 02:03:47,040
Speaker 2: exciting bowl. Games and he thought he could turn the program.

2344
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Around And Tom allen had a bit of a, run

2345
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:54,800
Speaker 2: And indiana almost upset In michigan one year and both

2346
02:03:54,840 --> 02:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Sham becker was. There but for the most part they'ren

2347
02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:02,120
Speaker 2: also ran in, football they're a big, ten bottom feed or.

2348
02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,840
Speaker 2: Two and then all of a, sudden you hire a

2349
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:07,480
Speaker 2: young coach he's not, young but he's young at heart

2350
02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:13,400
Speaker 2: From James madison by the name Of, kurtzignetti and the

2351

2357
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:38,600

Speaker 2: Thought alabama would just win because They're. Alabama But indiana

2359
02:04:43,640 --> 02:04:46,040
Speaker 2: played so much better Than alabama throughout the, season and

2360
02:04:46,200 --> 02:04:53,560

Speaker 2: Okay and by the, way they're getting some. Backing if

2384

2386
02:06:21,840 --> 02:06:24,880
Speaker 2: the people who stayed Were indiana, fans and that seemed

2387
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:27,520
Speaker 2: to be about eighty percent of the. Crowd Indiana namalie

2388
02:06:27,560 --> 02:06:30,400
Speaker 2: took over the football, game but they seemed to take

2389

Speaker 2: over the. Day oh by the, way it wasn't just

2390

2393
02:06:46,680 --> 02:06:51,200

2414
02:08:05,720 --> 02:08:08,520
Speaker 2: winning the final game in the. Season that's the one

2415
02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:10,960
Speaker 2: who gets the. Trophy you win the final game of

2416
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:14,720
Speaker 2: the season in the. Playoffs If, indiana for whatever reason

2417
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 2: doesn't win the, title it's going to require an. Upset,

2418
02:08:21,800 --> 02:08:24,000
Speaker 2: otherwise they're on their way to be a sixteen to no.

2419
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Team now they're a four point favorite Against oregon this.

2420
02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:31,480
Speaker 2: Week but if they go sixteen to, oh if The

2421
02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:35,280
Speaker 2: Indian hoosiers go sixteen to, oh maybe we have the

2422
02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:38,920

Speaker 2: days of being a basketball school or taking a serious

2426
02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:53,120

02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:21,360
Speaker 2: a national championship In division two football in a stadium

2468
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 2: that fit not a lot of. People he transfers To

2469
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:30,200
Speaker 2: Ole miss and steps right, in and he's exactly what

2470
02:11:30,280 --> 02:11:34,839
Speaker 2: the doctor. Order if you watched the game Against, georgia

2471
02:11:35,240 --> 02:11:36,160
Speaker 2: now What's georgia known?

2472
02:11:36,200 --> 02:11:36,240
Speaker 7: For?

2473
02:11:36,400 --> 02:11:41,160
Speaker 2: Defense right completed thirteen straight, passes Helped Old miss take

2474
02:11:41,160 --> 02:11:43,160
Speaker 2: a ten point lead with just over seven minutes to.

2475
02:11:43,240 --> 02:11:47,200
Speaker 2: Play and it's not a high rye, iract but he

2476
02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:51,320
Speaker 2: has that whirling, dervish make you miss people play alive

2477
02:11:51,480 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 2: capability that has to drive defensive coordinators. Nuts AND i

2478
02:11:58,240 --> 02:12:01,760
Speaker 2: think This Old miss team is. MOTIVATED i think they're

2479
02:12:01,840 --> 02:12:04,520
Speaker 2: mad At Lane. KIFFIN i think they want to prove

2480
02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:08,960
Speaker 2: they could do Without Lane. Kiffin and there's something about

2481
02:12:09,080 --> 02:12:15,680
Speaker 2: the magic That Trinidad shambless. Brings and he. Understands, listen,

2482
02:12:15,760 --> 02:12:18,240
Speaker 2: yes yes it Was division, two but he knows what

2483
02:12:18,400 --> 02:12:24,760
Speaker 2: that looks. Like, okay Now miami's you, know got maybe

2484
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:28,840
Speaker 2: a few MORE nfl prostects Than Valdosta state did had last.

2485
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:33,680
Speaker 2: Year but in what game have you seen Ole miss

2486
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:37,880
Speaker 2: play where they weren't able to put up? POINTS i,

2487
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:40,000
Speaker 2: mean they put up forty three against or thirty five

2488
02:12:40,040 --> 02:12:43,440
Speaker 2: Against georgia the first, time they played thirty seven the second.

2489
02:12:43,480 --> 02:12:48,760
Speaker 2: Time and if If Ole miss can give shambless, time

2490
02:12:49,480 --> 02:12:52,920
Speaker 2: which they did Against, georgia he Torched georgia for three

2491
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:58,000
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two yards and in eight quarters Against Georgia,

2492
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:04,480
Speaker 2: Trinidad ambliss was never sacked and he threw for six

2493
02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:09,400
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five. Yards, now that was an all time.

2494
02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:13,680
Speaker 2: Game and MAYBE i don't, know no, excuses but maybe

2495
02:13:14,040 --> 02:13:17,200
Speaker 2: the week off didn't Do george any. Good the truth

2496
02:13:17,240 --> 02:13:19,000
Speaker 2: of the matter is is That Old miss is a

2497
02:13:19,040 --> 02:13:22,320
Speaker 2: pretty damn good team and The hurricanes are going to

2498
02:13:22,360 --> 02:13:24,960
Speaker 2: bring a pass. Rush and when you look at the

2499
02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:29,640
Speaker 2: game last week Against Ohio State miami and their pass,

2500
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:36,120
Speaker 2: rush they Put Julian saying in a, vice But Julian

2501
02:13:36,240 --> 02:13:40,000
Speaker 2: san doesn't have anywhere near the mobility and make you

2502
02:13:40,160 --> 02:13:44,480
Speaker 2: miss and keep a play alive whirling dervish style that

2503
02:13:44,640 --> 02:13:47,360
Speaker 2: has Allowed Old miss to extend plays and make plays

2504
02:13:47,400 --> 02:13:52,960
Speaker 2: that should have been. Losses, okay So Trinidad chambliss Gives

2505
02:13:53,680 --> 02:13:57,640
Speaker 2: Old missus offense a chance to make plays off. Schedule

2506
02:13:58,080 --> 02:14:00,200
Speaker 2: that with all due respect To Julian, sann he had

2507
02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:03,200
Speaker 2: a hell of a fine. Year that's not how The,

2508
02:14:03,240 --> 02:14:09,640
Speaker 2: buckeyes you, Know that's not how they do. Business on

2509
02:14:09,760 --> 02:14:12,640
Speaker 2: the other side of the, ball the question will, be

2510
02:14:13,280 --> 02:14:18,280
Speaker 2: can Coach Pete golding come up with a, game come

2511
02:14:18,360 --> 02:14:20,760
Speaker 2: up with a game plan and a scheme that, Says,

2512
02:14:20,840 --> 02:14:23,960
Speaker 2: okay we got a lot of respect for, You, miami

2513
02:14:24,360 --> 02:14:26,280
Speaker 2: but we're gonna put The we're going to put the

2514
02:14:26,400 --> 02:14:29,640
Speaker 2: game On Carson beck's. Shoulders Carson beck is going to

2515
02:14:29,720 --> 02:14:33,000
Speaker 2: have to win this game to beat. Us AND i

2516
02:14:33,080 --> 02:14:37,280
Speaker 2: Think Carson beck at his best is. Good but he

2517
02:14:37,320 --> 02:14:39,680
Speaker 2: hasn't thrown for more than one hundred and fifty yards

2518
02:14:39,720 --> 02:14:43,760
Speaker 2: in either Of miami's playoff. Wins if there's one Thing

2519
02:14:44,920 --> 02:14:48,480
Speaker 2: Mississippi state has proven this year and even last, year

2520
02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:51,000
Speaker 2: you're going to have to score points to beat. Him

2521
02:14:52,480 --> 02:14:55,280
Speaker 2: the one game they lost this, year it was Against,

2522
02:14:55,280 --> 02:14:58,520
Speaker 2: georgia and they exacted their Revenge. GEORGIA i put up forty.

2523
02:14:58,560 --> 02:15:03,760
Speaker 2: Three old miss put up thirty. Five as solid As

2524
02:15:04,800 --> 02:15:07,920
Speaker 2: miami has been in these first two playoff. Games would

2525
02:15:07,920 --> 02:15:11,240
Speaker 2: it surprise me If ole miss put up twenty four or, Thirty,

2526
02:15:11,360 --> 02:15:13,880
Speaker 2: no it would, Not AND i don't Think miami's got

2527
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:15,600
Speaker 2: the kind of exposive playoffense to do.

2528
02:15:15,760 --> 02:15:15,800
Speaker 9: That.

2529
02:15:16,960 --> 02:15:19,080
Speaker 2: NOW i want to Give miami a hell of a

2530
02:15:19,160 --> 02:15:23,480
Speaker 2: lot of. Credit they've come, Out they've exceeded all expectations

2531
02:15:24,280 --> 02:15:27,320
Speaker 2: and that should be. Congratulated you Beat TEXAS a and

2532
02:15:27,520 --> 02:15:29,920
Speaker 2: m you Beat Ohio state and back to back. Weeks

2533
02:15:30,480 --> 02:15:34,360
Speaker 2: that's huge for a program that there are some knuckles

2534
02:15:34,400 --> 02:15:36,640
Speaker 2: that didn't think That miami deserved to spot in the.

2535
02:15:36,680 --> 02:15:40,040
Speaker 2: PLAYOFFS i was not one of those. People they Beat Notre.

2536
02:15:40,120 --> 02:15:43,920
Speaker 2: Dame yes they lost TO, Smu yes they lost To,

2537
02:15:44,120 --> 02:15:49,920
Speaker 2: louisville but this is a playoff and they've already proven they. Belong,

2538
02:15:50,920 --> 02:15:56,520
Speaker 2: Okay Pete golding found a way to go toe to

2539
02:15:56,640 --> 02:15:59,800
Speaker 2: toe With georgia And Kirby. Smart if he can do,

2540
02:15:59,880 --> 02:16:03,560
Speaker 2: that you can't tell me he's not going to dial

2541
02:16:03,640 --> 02:16:06,960
Speaker 2: up a scheme to put speed bumps in front Of

2542
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:11,440
Speaker 2: Carson back and make life uncomfortable For Carson. Beck combining

2543
02:16:11,520 --> 02:16:15,520
Speaker 2: that with how difficult it is to Contain trinidad shambless

2544
02:16:16,280 --> 02:16:19,560
Speaker 2: AND i am not mixed. Up miami gets after, it

2545
02:16:19,720 --> 02:16:22,560
Speaker 2: their pass rushers get. Home but this is a really

2546
02:16:22,640 --> 02:16:25,960
Speaker 2: tough matchup For. MIAMI i get. It the last two

2547
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:28,160
Speaker 2: have been tough as, Well TEXAS a AND m And Ohio.

2548
02:16:28,280 --> 02:16:31,440
Speaker 2: State this is a different. Animal styles make. FIGHTS i

2549
02:16:31,480 --> 02:16:34,400
Speaker 2: think it's a bad matchup For. MIAMI i just simply

2550
02:16:34,480 --> 02:16:39,040
Speaker 2: think That shambless is a mesmerizing, quarterback and you can

2551
02:16:39,080 --> 02:16:42,080
Speaker 2: say he is a fast face to pass rush quite

2552
02:16:42,080 --> 02:16:44,600
Speaker 2: as ferocious As. Miami's but how in the hell Did

2553
02:16:44,680 --> 02:16:47,320
Speaker 2: Jeff brohm And louisville dial up an offense to Beat.

2554
02:16:47,360 --> 02:16:51,160
Speaker 2: Miami Perhaps Pete golding watches that game. FILM i Like

2555
02:16:51,640 --> 02:16:54,960
Speaker 2: Old miss to Beat. Miami all due respect To. Miami

2556
02:16:55,440 --> 02:16:56,960
Speaker 2: it's been a hell of a nice little, run and

2557
02:16:57,040 --> 02:17:01,000
Speaker 2: it's been a pretty damn good. Year big tip of

2558
02:17:01,040 --> 02:17:03,680
Speaker 2: the cap To Mario. Cristobal BUT i think it ends,

2559
02:17:03,720 --> 02:17:09,560
Speaker 2: here all, Right Nick, saban there's never going to be

2560
02:17:09,600 --> 02:17:11,720
Speaker 2: Another Nick. Saban, well maybe there is going to. Be

2561
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:17,040
Speaker 2: Kurt signetti might be the New Nick. Saban, Okay Kurt

2562
02:17:17,080 --> 02:17:21,119
Speaker 2: signetti spent four years On saban's first staff In, tuscaloosa

2563
02:17:21,200 --> 02:17:27,480
Speaker 2: fifteen eighteen years, ago whatever it, was AND i Think

2564
02:17:28,720 --> 02:17:31,040
Speaker 2: Kurt signetti learned a lot From Nick. Saban he's very

2565
02:17:31,080 --> 02:17:36,080
Speaker 2: saving esque in the way they tactically prepare for a,

2566
02:17:36,160 --> 02:17:39,560
Speaker 2: team their process, oriented the way they pick apart their,

2567
02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:45,080
Speaker 2: opponent the way they play mistake free. Football discipline was

2568
02:17:45,720 --> 02:17:49,920
Speaker 2: a key, cog a key component Of Nick Saban's alabama,

2569
02:17:49,959 --> 02:17:53,840
Speaker 2: teams and that's Something indiana. Has you, know they are

2570
02:17:53,920 --> 02:17:58,080
Speaker 2: second in the. Country they only allow approximately twenty eight

2571
02:17:58,160 --> 02:18:03,480
Speaker 2: yards in penalties a. Game The raiders do that every every. Possession,

2572
02:18:05,160 --> 02:18:11,160
Speaker 2: now the Reason indiana Beat, alabama as an example so

2573
02:18:11,360 --> 02:18:15,120
Speaker 2: suddenly is because they didn't give they didn't make any

2574
02:18:15,200 --> 02:18:18,680
Speaker 2: mistakes For alabama to try to take advantage of no.

2575
02:18:18,840 --> 02:18:25,360
Speaker 2: Freebies their defense Held alabama to three for thirteen on third.

2576
02:18:25,440 --> 02:18:28,800
Speaker 2: Downs they made a, punt they kept the Tired alabama

2577
02:18:28,920 --> 02:18:32,680
Speaker 2: defense on the. Field, meanwhile The indiana was ten to

2578
02:18:32,720 --> 02:18:39,000
Speaker 2: fourteen third down situations red zone fourth. QUARTER i gotta

2579
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:42,720
Speaker 2: tell you This indiana team is. Scary they squeeze you

2580
02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:45,840
Speaker 2: like a bowl. Constrictor they got playbakers on both sides

2581
02:18:45,840 --> 02:18:48,400
Speaker 2: of the. Ball they set the, edges they're violent on,

2582
02:18:48,520 --> 02:18:52,680
Speaker 2: defense and they have a quarterback who is quite quite

2583
02:18:52,720 --> 02:18:59,560
Speaker 2: the field general and quite the. Player now this is a.

2584
02:18:59,640 --> 02:19:04,520
Speaker 2: Remap indiana's a four point favorite this. Time and remember

2585
02:19:04,560 --> 02:19:08,600
Speaker 2: The hoosiers Beat oregon thirty to twenty In. Eugene no

2586
02:19:08,720 --> 02:19:11,800
Speaker 2: one does that back In. October and at that, POINT

2587
02:19:11,959 --> 02:19:16,280
Speaker 2: i think the people who Dotted indiana started to BELIEVE

2588
02:19:16,320 --> 02:19:18,360
Speaker 2: i was one of, them BECAUSE i trust my. Eyes

2589
02:19:18,400 --> 02:19:20,840
Speaker 2: they tell me a. LOT i saw the way they

2590
02:19:20,920 --> 02:19:23,400
Speaker 2: won the. GAME i don't repeat, myself but they set

2591
02:19:23,480 --> 02:19:25,440
Speaker 2: the edges And oregon wasn't able to get in space

2592
02:19:25,520 --> 02:19:29,480
Speaker 2: like they were against other, teams And indiana was violent on.

2593
02:19:29,600 --> 02:19:32,520
Speaker 2: Defense they have a couple OF nfl wide. Receivers they

2594
02:19:32,600 --> 02:19:34,480
Speaker 2: run the, ball they stopped the, run they tackled the,

2595
02:19:34,600 --> 02:19:41,640
Speaker 2: block and their quarterback is Outstanding. Indiana everybody saw them

2596
02:19:41,760 --> 02:19:48,320
Speaker 2: Destroy alabama last. Week And Paul, finbaum who's been a skeptical,

2597
02:19:48,480 --> 02:19:52,480
Speaker 2: YEAR i think even he's coming around. Now When oregon

2598
02:19:52,600 --> 02:19:56,480
Speaker 2: Played indiana back In, october the defense got, home Sank

2599
02:19:56,520 --> 02:20:00,520
Speaker 2: daptemore six times and picked them off. Twice and you

2600
02:20:00,720 --> 02:20:04,000
Speaker 2: just Saw oregon shut out A Texas tech offense that

2601
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:08,240
Speaker 2: everybody told us was the greatest thing Since Pepperoni. Pizza

2602
02:20:09,600 --> 02:20:13,400
Speaker 2: finding out maybe their schedule wasn't WELL i don't want

2603
02:20:13,400 --> 02:20:14,840
Speaker 2: to take any more From Texas, tech but you saw

2604
02:20:14,879 --> 02:20:20,680
Speaker 2: What oregon. Did BUT i believe The indian offense is

2605
02:20:20,760 --> 02:20:25,000
Speaker 2: better Than Texas. Tech's and you, know there's an old

2606
02:20:25,080 --> 02:20:28,680
Speaker 2: saying it's hard to beat a team twice in the same,

2607
02:20:28,760 --> 02:20:35,280
Speaker 2: year but that's that's fortune cookie. Wisdom sometimes one team

2608
02:20:35,400 --> 02:20:39,120
Speaker 2: is simply better than the. Other and you, know harkening

2609
02:20:39,200 --> 02:20:41,000
Speaker 2: back to WHAT i said twenty minutes ago about this

2610
02:20:41,160 --> 02:20:45,600
Speaker 2: image people have Of indiana football based on their stinky,

2611
02:20:45,760 --> 02:20:49,560
Speaker 2: history The hoosiers are the, best most complete team. Period

2612
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:53,920
Speaker 2: they showed. It they've they Beat oregon In, oregon they

2613
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:58,280
Speaker 2: beat ohiuse state, that they just completely Demolished. Alabama NOW

2614
02:20:59,400 --> 02:21:03,320
Speaker 2: i think they're going to have success against The ducks

2615
02:21:03,360 --> 02:21:10,040
Speaker 2: offense defensively because Even Texas techs front seven really you,

2616
02:21:10,120 --> 02:21:13,680
Speaker 2: know slowed The ducks, down But Dan lanning and The

2617
02:21:13,760 --> 02:21:17,280
Speaker 2: ducks pulled. Away AND i think THEY'RE dna And benning

2618
02:21:17,320 --> 02:21:20,360
Speaker 2: in situations like that before Where Texas tech hadn't and

2619
02:21:20,440 --> 02:21:24,280
Speaker 2: that experience paid. Off SO i Like indiana to win

2620
02:21:24,480 --> 02:21:28,280
Speaker 2: along the lines of twenty one, seventeen along those, Lines

2621
02:21:28,320 --> 02:21:31,280
Speaker 2: SO i think we are looking at It, Indiana ole

2622
02:21:31,440 --> 02:21:37,039
Speaker 2: Miss National championship coming up on the nineteenth In, miami

2623
02:21:37,760 --> 02:21:39,560
Speaker 2: AND i think that's a, doozy AND i know you

2624
02:21:39,680 --> 02:21:42,200
Speaker 2: all had. THAT i refuse to say bingo. Card it's

2625
02:21:42,240 --> 02:21:44,600
Speaker 2: the dumbest saying. Ever no one carries around bingo. Cards

2626
02:21:45,080 --> 02:21:47,400
Speaker 2: but none of us predicted that at the beginning of the,

2627
02:21:47,480 --> 02:21:52,119
Speaker 2: year none of. Us But i'm here for it because

2628
02:21:52,200 --> 02:21:56,680
Speaker 2: you have two deserving teams and two fascinating. Stories and

2629
02:21:56,800 --> 02:21:58,720
Speaker 2: if it Is Ole miss In, indiana neither one is

2630
02:21:58,959 --> 02:22:02,760
Speaker 2: won a national. Championship both of them have coaches that

2631
02:22:02,840 --> 02:22:05,800
Speaker 2: worked Under Nick saban and you already know The Kurt signetti.

2632
02:22:05,840 --> 02:22:10,279
Speaker 2: Stories Fascinating and can you Imagine Lane kiffin Leaving, elis

2633
02:22:10,560 --> 02:22:13,480
Speaker 2: Leaving Ole miss FOR lsu because he thought he had

2634
02:22:13,520 --> 02:22:15,959
Speaker 2: a better chance to win a national championship and they

2635
02:22:16,040 --> 02:22:18,280
Speaker 2: go ahead and win a national championship without him in

2636
02:22:18,320 --> 02:22:20,040
Speaker 2: the Final cherry on the icing on the cake or

2637
02:22:20,080 --> 02:22:23,400
Speaker 2: whatever it. Metaphor Lane kiffin's already earned five hundred grand

2638
02:22:23,400 --> 02:22:28,039
Speaker 2: and bonuses Because Old miss won two playoff. Games if

Speaker 2: they get to the, finals it's another seven hundred and fifty.

2640
02:22:30,600 --> 02:22:32,800
Speaker 2: Grand and if An Old miss wins it, All Lane

2641
02:22:32,840 --> 02:22:36,400
Speaker 2: kiffin will pick up another million, yep another million seven

2642
02:22:36,400 --> 02:22:38,640

Speaker 2: Level it's all here in this report from The world Of.

2652
02:23:21,480 --> 02:23:25,600
Speaker 17: Soccer so we're at the halfway mark of The Premier league.

2653
02:23:25,720 --> 02:23:28,560
Speaker 17: Season arsenal sits the top of the table forty eight

2654
02:23:28,640 --> 02:23:32,320
Speaker 17: points as Of saturday evening here in The United states

2655
02:23:32,800 --> 02:23:35,880
Speaker 17: on their Heels Aston villa with forty two points both

2656
02:23:35,920 --> 02:23:39,040
Speaker 17: those twenty games Played Manchester city though really the only

2657
02:23:39,120 --> 02:23:42,400
Speaker 17: competition for them at the time being seven points back

2658
02:23:42,879 --> 02:23:46,080
Speaker 17: game to play for them at nineteen games Versus arsenal's.

2659
02:23:46,120 --> 02:23:48,600
Speaker 17: Twenty it should be interesting to keep up with this

2660
02:23:48,959 --> 02:23:52,200
Speaker 17: through the entire, season But arsenal is playing extremely well right.

2661
02:23:52,280 --> 02:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Now BUT i want to.

2662
02:23:53,280 --> 02:23:56,600
Speaker 17: Turn our attention not to number four on the, table

2663
02:23:56,680 --> 02:23:59,720
Speaker 17: where we've been talking About liverpool quite a, bit but number.

2664
02:23:59,760 --> 02:24:02,640
Speaker 17: Five If chelsea sitting on the table with thirty points

2665
02:24:02,720 --> 02:24:07,279
Speaker 17: eighteen back of first, place comfortably In Europa league, qualification

2666
02:24:07,520 --> 02:24:10,760
Speaker 17: and yet they're at the forefront Of as much as

2667
02:24:10,800 --> 02:24:12,960
Speaker 17: we'd like to call it a, sacking some sort of a,

2668
02:24:13,080 --> 02:24:17,640
Speaker 17: departure we're not sure If Enzo, maresca their, manager, left

2669
02:24:17,959 --> 02:24:20,240
Speaker 17: or if he was. Fired what we do know is

2670
02:24:20,280 --> 02:24:22,959
Speaker 17: it's only been six months Since chelsea became THE Fifa

2671
02:24:23,360 --> 02:24:27,440
Speaker 17: Club World cup, champions eighteen months Since maresca took the

2672
02:24:27,560 --> 02:24:31,800
Speaker 17: job in the first. Place and Usually chelsea managers traditionally

2673
02:24:32,200 --> 02:24:35,640
Speaker 17: have an incredibly short. Lifespan they get fired faster than

2674
02:24:35,760 --> 02:24:38,880
Speaker 17: pretty much any other sports manager or coach on the,

2675
02:24:38,959 --> 02:24:42,000
Speaker 17: planet AND i would probably even INCLUDE nba coaches up

2676
02:24:42,080 --> 02:24:46,200
Speaker 17: there with that. Too nobody's quite sure what's exactly happened.

2677
02:24:46,240 --> 02:24:50,120
Speaker 17: There it's a real big head. Scratcher, chelsea if you'll,

2678
02:24:50,160 --> 02:24:54,240
Speaker 17: remember has been under New american leadership ever since it's

2679
02:24:54,400 --> 02:24:59,480
Speaker 17: forced sale From Roman, abramovich its Former russian, owner and

2680
02:25:00,120 --> 02:25:03,560
Speaker 17: it's been quite quite the story watching. Them as we,

2681
02:25:03,680 --> 02:25:07,040
Speaker 17: said they've lifted some serious, hardware and yet here they

2682
02:25:07,040 --> 02:25:10,240
Speaker 17: are fifth on the, table and, like, look with about

2683
02:25:10,320 --> 02:25:12,120
Speaker 17: half a season to, play they're not out of it.

2684
02:25:12,200 --> 02:25:16,120
Speaker 17: Altogether but the, sacking OR i keep calling it a,

2685
02:25:16,200 --> 02:25:20,680
Speaker 17: SACKING i don't know why this departure seems really out

2686
02:25:20,720 --> 02:25:23,480
Speaker 17: of left. Field he was under contract until twenty twenty,

2687
02:25:23,680 --> 02:25:27,600
Speaker 17: nine with the option of a further, year but there's

2688
02:25:27,680 --> 02:25:30,440
Speaker 17: been so much finger pointing in this breakdown it's really

2689
02:25:30,560 --> 02:25:33,880
Speaker 17: something to. SAY a lot of reports really feel like

2690
02:25:34,040 --> 02:25:38,040
Speaker 17: there's a lot of structural issues between him and the,

2691
02:25:38,160 --> 02:25:42,240
Speaker 17: club a reported feud with him and the medical department

2692
02:25:42,360 --> 02:25:47,000
Speaker 17: of the, club and maybe fans really not feeling it

2693
02:25:47,360 --> 02:25:50,320
Speaker 17: with some. Performances BUT i really struggle to see what

2694
02:25:50,320 --> 02:25:51,120
Speaker 17: they're gonna do better Than.

2695
02:25:51,160 --> 02:25:51,600
Speaker 2: Maresca.

2696
02:25:52,200 --> 02:25:54,160
Speaker 17: NOW i do want to turn the attention of world

2697
02:25:54,240 --> 02:25:57,680
Speaker 17: with soccer away from soccer, itself but something this is

2698
02:25:57,720 --> 02:26:00,600
Speaker 17: a STORY i like to call soccer helping to inform

2699
02:26:01,040 --> 02:26:03,800
Speaker 17: a situation in another. Sport i'd like to turn to.

2700
02:26:03,879 --> 02:26:08,800
Speaker 17: Baseball so Sho Heyo tani obviously will be part Of Team,

2701

Speaker 17: japan The Japan samurai for The World Baseball. Classic of,

2702
02:26:14,160 --> 02:26:18,120

2703
02:26:18,240 --> 02:26:21,840
Speaker 17: to represent his country in an event THAT i find

2704
02:26:22,240 --> 02:26:24,920
Speaker 17: is really good for. Baseball The World Baseball classic is

2705
02:26:25,280 --> 02:26:29,160
Speaker 17: a tremendous amount of fun for anyone who's not an

2706
02:26:29,800 --> 02:26:32,960
Speaker 17: Upset mets fan About Edwin. Diaz but this kind of

2707
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:36,320
Speaker 17: gets back to The Edwin diaz problem in that there

2708
02:26:36,480 --> 02:26:40,080
Speaker 17: is questions about how much Sho Heyo tani will pitch

2709
02:26:40,560 --> 02:26:43,880

2711
02:26:49,000 --> 02:26:52,760
Speaker 17: said he hopes that he won't. Pitch this reportedly seems

2712
02:26:52,760 --> 02:26:55,840
Speaker 17: to be a sentiment around The dodgers organization as. Well

2713
02:26:56,280 --> 02:26:58,760
Speaker 17: AND i think The dodgers are going to learn very

2714
02:26:58,840 --> 02:27:01,520
Speaker 17: quickly what we've known in soccer for a long time

2715
02:27:01,600 --> 02:27:04,800
Speaker 17: that if someone really wants to perform for their, nation

2716
02:27:05,160 --> 02:27:08,000
Speaker 17: if someone really wants to represent their, nation there's not

2717
02:27:08,200 --> 02:27:11,040
Speaker 17: much you will be able to tell. Them AND i

2718
02:27:11,200 --> 02:27:14,200
Speaker 17: am sorry To Major League baseball fans out, there but

2719
02:27:14,640 --> 02:27:18,840
Speaker 17: when you introduce something like performing for your country in your,

2720
02:27:18,959 --> 02:27:22,480
Speaker 17: sport you have to accept that sometimes that player is

2721
02:27:22,560 --> 02:27:24,720
Speaker 17: going to be giving one hundred and ten percent for

2722
02:27:24,920 --> 02:27:27,840
Speaker 17: his nation rather than your. Club Now i'm not Saying

2723
02:27:27,879 --> 02:27:32,560
Speaker 17: Shoho tani will ishee the advice and not be on

2724
02:27:32,640 --> 02:27:35,840
Speaker 17: a pitch count For Samurai. Japan BUT i would SAY

2725
02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:38,840
Speaker 17: i wouldn't be surprised if he. Was and we see

2726
02:27:38,879 --> 02:27:41,760
Speaker 17: this all the time with The World. Cup let us

2727
02:27:41,840 --> 02:27:44,320
Speaker 17: let us not forget that in spite of the popularity

2728
02:27:44,320 --> 02:27:46,760
Speaker 17: of The World, cup of all the stuff that comes

2729
02:27:46,800 --> 02:27:48,959
Speaker 17: with playing with your country IN fifa and how much

2730
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:52,039
Speaker 17: we love, it there is a lot of hay made

2731
02:27:52,080 --> 02:27:56,280
Speaker 17: from the club, side from club organizations that really wish

2732
02:27:56,680 --> 02:28:00,680
Speaker 17: they didn't have a conflict of interest in, schedule in

2733
02:28:00,920 --> 02:28:04,680
Speaker 17: health and availability of their stars when they go and

2734
02:28:04,720 --> 02:28:08,720
Speaker 17: play for their. Countries guys get hurt IN Uefa, nations

2735
02:28:09,200 --> 02:28:13,880
Speaker 17: In conca calf and In Copa america and THE Fifa

2736
02:28:13,959 --> 02:28:17,560
Speaker 17: World cup itself all the, time and it can really

2737
02:28:17,680 --> 02:28:22,560
Speaker 17: put a damp on impending seasons for those. Clubs they absolutely. Can,

2738
02:28:22,920 --> 02:28:25,440
Speaker 17: HOWEVER i would say it is the right of the

2739
02:28:25,560 --> 02:28:28,080
Speaker 17: player to choose when and how he can use his,

2740
02:28:28,160 --> 02:28:31,720
Speaker 17: body and his body is not property for a. CLUB

2741
02:28:31,800 --> 02:28:34,680
Speaker 17: i understand they're paying him millions and millions of, dollars

2742
02:28:35,280 --> 02:28:39,760
Speaker 17: but your club directly benefits from that player representing his,

2743
02:28:39,959 --> 02:28:42,400
Speaker 17: country just like it is with The World Baseball, classic

2744
02:28:42,920 --> 02:28:45,280
Speaker 17: just like it is WITH Fifa World. Cup it is all,

2745
02:28:45,360 --> 02:28:48,280
Speaker 17: interconnected and it is all part of a love for

2746
02:28:48,440 --> 02:28:53,160
Speaker 17: a game rather than a bloodless business. Transaction if these

2747
02:28:53,200 --> 02:28:57,200
Speaker 17: were just bloodless business, transactions nobody would be. Watching we're

2748
02:28:57,200 --> 02:29:00,680
Speaker 17: watching for the emotion and the. Passion good news is

2749

2778
02:30:50,600 --> 02:30:54,360
Speaker 2: in THE. Nfc if they Win, sunday that's significant because

2779
02:30:54,400 --> 02:30:56,840
Speaker 2: that'll bring him a first round matchup against the lowest rank,

2780
02:30:56,920 --> 02:30:59,960

2781
02:31:00,800 --> 02:31:04,000
Speaker 2: so you, Know Ben johnson also wants to beat his old.

2782

Speaker 2: Employer he was booed during His week two homecoming and

2783
02:31:08,200 --> 02:31:10,520
Speaker 2: they got smoked that. Game The lions scored fifty two.

2784
02:31:10,600 --> 02:31:15,520
Speaker 2: Points But detroit they want To they they are playing for. Pride,

2785
02:31:15,720 --> 02:31:20,080
Speaker 2: okay it's it's an interesting. Uh lion theyarl in three

2786
02:31:20,080 --> 02:31:22,920
Speaker 2: to The. Bears The lions are not healthy right now on.

2787
02:31:23,040 --> 02:31:25,959
Speaker 2: Defense but, again that game's got. Significance and you heard

2788
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:28,840
Speaker 2: me in the first hour WHEN i was talking With Scott,

2789
02:31:28,879 --> 02:31:34,039
Speaker 2: pritchard our. Handicapper since nineteen ninety teams that are eliminated

2790
02:31:34,080 --> 02:31:38,160
Speaker 2: that are playing teams that need to that are playing

2791
02:31:38,200 --> 02:31:41,960
Speaker 2: for some. Incentive, well the teams that are eliminated are

2792
02:31:42,040 --> 02:31:44,720
Speaker 2: sixty one percent against the spread since nineteen ninety one

2793
02:31:44,800 --> 02:31:48,120
Speaker 2: oh five and sixty. Nine that's. Something so The, bear

2794
02:31:48,360 --> 02:31:51,800
Speaker 2: The lions are, eliminated and The bears are playing for.

2795
02:31:51,920 --> 02:31:58,000
Speaker 2: Something take note The chargers and The. Broncos now neither

2796
02:31:58,040 --> 02:32:00,720
Speaker 2: one is eliminated. Here they're both going of the, playoffs

2797
02:32:01,680 --> 02:32:05,960
Speaker 2: but it would land a better ranking if The bronco.

2798
02:32:06,120 --> 02:32:10,720
Speaker 2: Look Justin herbert's going to. Rest The chargers, are you,

2799
02:32:10,800 --> 02:32:14,800
Speaker 2: know set with their wild card. Slot some veterans will

2800
02:32:14,840 --> 02:32:20,480
Speaker 2: probably sit alongside Of Justin. Herbert Trey lance is not

2801
02:32:20,560 --> 02:32:23,760
Speaker 2: a major league. Quarterback this is going to get. Ugly

2802
02:32:25,600 --> 02:32:28,400
Speaker 2: he's had five career starts And, look let's just put

2803
02:32:28,400 --> 02:32:31,280
Speaker 2: it this. Way it's a massive game for The broncos,

2804
02:32:31,320 --> 02:32:33,960
Speaker 2: anyway because if you handle business at, home then the

2805
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:36,280
Speaker 2: AFC's road to The Super bowl will go Through. Denver

2806
02:32:36,760 --> 02:32:39,600
Speaker 2: denver Wins, sunday they get the number one, seed so

2807
02:32:39,800 --> 02:32:43,720
Speaker 2: it means a lot To. Denver same With. Jacksonville Now

2808
02:32:43,760 --> 02:32:47,640
Speaker 2: Tennessee's tennessee's. Eliminated but remember WHAT i said about the

2809
02:32:47,680 --> 02:32:52,400
Speaker 2: sixty could just be a trap. Game The jaguars quench

2810
02:32:52,520 --> 02:32:55,000
Speaker 2: THE Afc. South if they win in the games at,

2811
02:32:55,040 --> 02:32:57,200
Speaker 2: home that would give them the number three seed at

2812
02:32:57,240 --> 02:33:00,680
Speaker 2: the absolute, worst and you know if they get some

2813
02:33:00,800 --> 02:33:04,560
Speaker 2: help from other. Teams the bottom line is it would

2814
02:33:04,560 --> 02:33:08,600
Speaker 2: be hoove The jaguars to. Win it would also give

2815
02:33:08,640 --> 02:33:11,880
Speaker 2: The jags their second best record in franchise. History give

2816
02:33:11,879 --> 02:33:13,800
Speaker 2: it up To Liam cohen to be thirteen and, Four

2817
02:33:16,240 --> 02:33:22,080
Speaker 2: so not a bad, debut. Right, however if Somehow tennessee beats,

2818
02:33:22,160 --> 02:33:25,480
Speaker 2: them it's not on the rumal possibilities The National Football,

2819
02:33:25,560 --> 02:33:29,680
Speaker 2: league The titans are checked that The jags could drop

2820
02:33:29,680 --> 02:33:32,200
Speaker 2: as far as number. Seven as a number seven, seed

2821
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:37,160
Speaker 2: SO i think Cam ward's shown improvement in his last

2822
02:33:37,200 --> 02:33:40,840
Speaker 2: three outings six touchdowns in the. Interceptions tennessee plays. Hard

2823
02:33:41,480 --> 02:33:44,680
Speaker 2: they plays. Hard they play, Hard so that's a game to. Watch,

2824
02:33:44,879 --> 02:33:48,240
Speaker 2: finally the, game it's the final game of the, season

2825
02:33:48,320 --> 02:33:50,240
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy two. Games this is game number

2826
02:33:50,240 --> 02:33:53,240
Speaker 2: two seventy. Two comes down To sunday night. Football The

2827
02:33:53,320 --> 02:33:55,720
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh steelers are three and a half point dogs at

2828
02:33:55,800 --> 02:33:59,680
Speaker 2: home against The Baltimore. Ravens this is a defective playoff.

2829
02:33:59,760 --> 02:34:03,879
Speaker 2: Game the winner is in the. Playoffs the loser good,

2830
02:34:03,959 --> 02:34:08,840
Speaker 2: Night Irene Lamar jackson will. Play he's three and five

2831
02:34:09,840 --> 02:34:14,400
Speaker 2: in playoff, games ten, touchdowns seven, interceptions two fumbles, completed

2832
02:34:14,400 --> 02:34:17,600
Speaker 2: about fifty fifty five percent of HIS PATS i think

2833
02:34:17,920 --> 02:34:22,600
Speaker 2: sixty eight quarterback. Rating and in the last thirty two

2834
02:34:22,680 --> 02:34:26,680
Speaker 2: games Between harball And, tomlin the dog is twenty five and.

2835
02:34:26,800 --> 02:34:29,080
Speaker 2: Seven so you're getting three and a half In pittsburgh and. Home,

2836
02:34:29,200 --> 02:34:31,720
Speaker 2: okay Either baltimore is going to win the division for

2837
02:34:31,800 --> 02:34:35,600
Speaker 2: the third straight year Or pittsburgh will get back on

2838
02:34:35,800 --> 02:34:38,200
Speaker 2: top of the perch for the first time in six.

2839
02:34:38,360 --> 02:34:42,240
Speaker 2: Years So John HARBALL i think is on the hot.

2840
02:34:42,280 --> 02:34:44,920
Speaker 2: SEAT i think he should, be and this will get

2841
02:34:44,959 --> 02:34:47,480
Speaker 2: him off the hot. Seat and if The ravens. LOSE

2842
02:34:48,040 --> 02:34:49,720
Speaker 2: i think there'll be a hell of a lot of teeth.

2843
02:34:49,760 --> 02:34:53,520
Speaker 2: Gnashing so there's some key games there to, watch and

2844
02:34:53,720 --> 02:34:56,600
Speaker 2: don't think it's going to be so. Automatic by the,

2845
02:34:56,640 --> 02:35:00,240
Speaker 2: way if you're A Baker mayfield, fan you will be

2846
02:35:00,320 --> 02:35:04,320
Speaker 2: rooting for The saints because if The saints win and

2847
02:35:04,560 --> 02:35:07,560
Speaker 2: beat The Atlanta falcons as a road short dog of

2848
02:35:07,640 --> 02:35:10,160
Speaker 2: three and a half, points Then Tampa bay's in the

2849
02:35:10,200 --> 02:35:14,520
Speaker 2: playoffs and they'll host the playoff game if. Care If atlanta,

2850
02:35:14,560 --> 02:35:19,240
Speaker 2: Wins carolina will. Advance so there's rooting interest there as. Well,

2851
02:35:19,320 --> 02:35:24,040
Speaker 2: again these games have meaning and guys are playing for.

2852
02:35:24,160 --> 02:35:27,000
Speaker 2: Jobs you, KNOW i covered THE o and Sixteen Detroit.

2853
02:35:27,080 --> 02:35:30,840
Speaker 2: Lions but one thing That Rod marrinelli used to say

2854
02:35:30,920 --> 02:35:32,680
Speaker 2: is everything's on. Tape one hundred percent of what you

2855
02:35:32,680 --> 02:35:34,240

2856
02:35:34,760 --> 02:35:37,200
Speaker 2: players are gonna play. Hard they may not have a
