Okay, So where the 33 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: hell was I you guys do this. I went on 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: a vacation in August. We went to Hawaii, and while 35 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: I was there, I got sick and I just increasingly 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: kept getting worse. I was struggling to breathe at times. 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: Now we were at altitude, visited some volcanoes I'm sure 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: you saw on Instagram. And then the flight back, I guess, 39 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: you know, six hour flight from Hawaii, things got worse, 40 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: and you know, I get back and I'm feeling like 41 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: total ass and you know, I'm struggling. I'm sure you 42 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: heard me that Monday on the Herd. I sounded terrible. 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: They were like, dude, do you want to take a 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: sick day? I was like, I don't take sick days, okay. 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: And then that Monday night, I'd like wake up in 46 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: the middle of the night struggling to breathe. I'm like, 47 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: f this, I'm going to the er. But I was 48 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: all hopped up on Benadryl and robotussin and I didn't 49 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: really do a good job of finding the closest hospital. 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: So I drive to what's known as UCLA Harbor Hospital. Later, 51 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: two doctor friends told me, bro are you out of 52 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: your mind? You only go to UCLA Harbor if you 53 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: were in a major car accident or you have a 54 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: gunshot wound. Never go there, Okay. I didn't know that. Also, 55 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: Robotussen and Bendroux yes at the same time. So I 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: end up walking into the ear about two thirty in 57 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: the morning and there's like forty people there. I'm like, 58 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: what is going on? Give me a break. So anyways, 59 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: they quickly swab me up. They're like, you don't have COVID. 60 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: You don't have STRIP, you don't have RSV, you don't 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: have anything. It's like, well I got something. I'm dying here. 62 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: And they were like it's about a three hour week 63 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: to see the doctor. I was like, I'm not doing that. 64 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: I gotta go to work. So I headed home showered up. 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: That's what I said on the HERD that I went 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: to the er and blah blah blah. So the next 67 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: day my wife's like, listen, just go to the NT. 68 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: See what the deal is. So I talked to a 69 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: friend who was a fairly prominent doctor. He gets me 70 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: into instantly with a good NT. He shoves that camera 71 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: up my nose. He comes out with good news bad news. 72 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Good news is it's just a ton of mucus and 73 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: we can resolve that. I'll take a lot a week 74 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: to ten days. You know, we get this basically. I 75 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: don't know if anybody's had allergies, but you use this 76 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: thing called the Nettie Pot. I got like a Nettie 77 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: Pot on steroids. Then you go buy over the counter. 78 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: It was like a hundred anyways, I had to do that. 79 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Oh but the bad news is there's like a cyst 80 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: growing in your throat and it's you know, fairly significant inside, 81 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: so we should get that out. And I'm like, what 82 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: the heck? Okay, so I quickly schedule it. They're like, 83 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: you know, you're probably gonna be out of action for 84 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: anywhere from three to seven ten days in that range, 85 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: depending how you know, how the surgery goes. So it's like, 86 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: let's just get it over with. Cowhard was already taken vacation, 87 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: so it's like, fine, I'll take the surgery. And they're like, 88 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna go under. We're not gonna cut you open. 89 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: We're just gonna go in and laser it out and 90 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: we'll pull the cyst out. I was like, all right, 91 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: So I've only been under once for a coldon oskarfee. 92 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: Obviously I recommend that for everyone. And I'm getting nervous, 93 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, like you don't know what they're gonna find. 94 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: And I go under. I wake up and I'm like, oh, 95 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: I throw it's killing. They're like, well, what's the pain level. 96 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm like it's it's at least a nine or ten 97 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: out of ten. It's really bad. So like, all right, 98 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: we got some oxy code one for you. It's like wonderful. 99 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: So they give it. I've never took in oxy code 100 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: on before I take it. I don't remember the car 101 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: ride home. I don't remember anything. Oh, I was just 102 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: in a fog, go to sleep. You know. I apparently 103 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: ox he's super dangerous. You gotta be careful. I know that. 104 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: But then they send me an image of the cyst. 105 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm not going to show you. I've showed my friends 106 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: and buddies, but it's fairly significant. And it was like 107 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: a orange rock growing in my throat. They run tests, biopsies, 108 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: not cancerous. Got the clean bill of health, but they 109 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: said basically no talking for a week. And I said, 110 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: you know, doc, I got. I got my championship basketball 111 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: game in two days. He's like, you can't play. You 112 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: just had surgery. He's like, you can't play. I was like, 113 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: what do you mean I can't play? It's a championship. 114 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: I worked all season for this, dude. He's like, listen, 115 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: you can't put any stress on your throat because you 116 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen to wound from us 117 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: lasering it out, lasering it open, to pull the cyst out. 118 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: Like you don't know what's gonna happen. You could be 119 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: caught it up blood like it's not smart. It's like fine, 120 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: of course, you know, we get semi finals. I'm like, 121 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: I'll sit. We got this and we won, but I 122 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: gotta play in the championship. I have to play in 123 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: the champion at least a couple of minutes of garbage time. 124 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: But there was really not any garbage time. But our 125 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: team was, you know, and I'm like fiery on the bench, 126 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: but I gotta be quiet. And I noticed there's a 127 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: moment where I'm like, you know what, I could just 128 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: go in. Let me go in for ninety seconds and folks, 129 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm not even joking. The games on YouTube you can 130 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: see it. It was one of those moments, like the 131 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: stuff dreams are made of. You know, we're up, I 132 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: don't know one or three late first half, and you know, 133 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: I go in and I'm basically like floating around the 134 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: three point line as usual, and it just so happens. 135 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: My guy lost me within fifteen seconds going in the game. 136 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: I get the ball first, shut up, and it goes in, 137 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: and you know, our bench erupted, and the teams that 138 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: were in the semifinals, one of them, who knows me 139 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: a little bit from the show in the podcast, his 140 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: whole team stuck around because they like us, you know, 141 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: nice guys, young dudes, like twenty five year old guys, 142 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: and they're all freaking out. But here's the craziest part. 143 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: So I make that shot. It's all exciting. The other 144 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: team comes down and they have like a wacky turnover 145 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: and we have a runout a three on one break. 146 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: I go to the corner and I get I'm open, like, 147 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: I hits me with the pass and I put the 148 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: shot up and I'm not even joking. I was like, 149 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: I was like, this can't be real. This is not real. 150 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: But it rimmed out. I could hear everybody go oh, 151 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: like they were like, holy wow. That almost went in 152 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: back to back three's instantly. So I sprint down court 153 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: and my teammate takes a charge and I go, yeah, 154 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm all fired up. I'm pumping the fist and I'm like, 155 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: all right, I need to come out. I instantly came 156 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: out of the game because it's tired. And then that 157 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: was that was basically it for your boy. But I'm healing. 158 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: I think I'll be fine, and now let's get to sports. 159 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: I debated whether to start with NFL because nothing huge 160 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: happened at the end of preseason. We could talk about 161 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. I have a strong take on that. 162 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: I'll use it on the Herd. But it's like the 163 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Who cares the Jonathan Taylor thing. Nothing happened, 164 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: no big deal some Week one lines on the move. 165 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: We could discuss them later in the week. I think 166 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: we have to start with what went down in Colorado 167 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: TCU Saturday afternoon. I do need to add my I 168 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: have Spectrum Cable out here in LA and Spectrum Cable 169 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: has been great. That's how you watch a Lakers all 170 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. Folks. They're in a dispute with ESPN right now, 171 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: and as a result, if you're a Spectrum cable owner, 172 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: you're not getting any ESPN games or ABC games. So, like, 173 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: I'm devastated as a sports fan, I'm like, what the 174 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: hell am I supposed to do? I can I can 175 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: stream games illegal, I can go to a buddy's house. 176 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: You can't watch it on your phone. You're blocked on 177 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: the app. It's like really bad. And as a result, 178 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to be dropping Spectrum in the next twenty 179 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: four hours. If this doesn't sort itself out. I can't 180 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: not have it, so I'll be going. A lot of 181 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: people are saying sling TV is like a decent option, 182 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: and then YouTube TV, so I'll be exploring those two. 183 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: If you have any thoughts, certainly hit me up on 184 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: social media. I'd love to hear at any rate I 185 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: am able to watch. Colorado TCU is a Fox game, 186 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: and I've been making fun of Colorado like most people 187 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: because they have I think seven returning starters. I think 188 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: that's the number seven returning let me get it. I'm 189 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: sorry three Colorado has three returning starters, nine scholarship players back. 190 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: They have eighty seven new players. This is a team 191 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: that won one game last year. They were twenty one 192 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: point underdogs at TCU. And so I watched the you know, 193 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: first draft, I'm like, oh, Dion's kid, he's nice, But 194 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: that was probably a scripted drive that they've been working 195 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: on all summer. They put that package in. I get it. 196 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: And then the weird thing is it continued and Deon's 197 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: kids throws for five hundred yards. He has a fourth 198 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: down like dump off that goes for a score late 199 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: in the game, and it's the go ahead touchdown, TCU 200 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: fails on their final possession in Colorado as a three 201 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: touchdown underdog on the road, wins outright forty five, and 202 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: everybody's freaking out. Deon Sanders was the story of the 203 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: Sports Weekend. I'm not mister negative. I'm not. I just 204 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: need some clarity, Okay, Number one, this is not the 205 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: same TCU football team that lost to Georgia in the Natty. 206 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: This is not the same TCU team that beat Michigan 207 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: in the Semi five. It's just not We know, they 208 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: won thirteen games last year. In the offseason, Max dug In, 209 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: their quarterback, graduated, offensive coordinator, moved on. Top two running 210 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: backs gone, top three receivers gone college football. There's a 211 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: lot of turnover. Okay, TCU lost a lot of guys. 212 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: My first glance, they look like maybe a five hundred 213 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: team this year. I don't know. In that ballpark. They're 214 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: not going to be a threat in the Big twelve. 215 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: TCU will not, So that perspective needed to be there now. Obviously, 216 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: what Dion did was incredible. You go from one win 217 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: to an unbelievable victory. One win last year to an 218 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: unbelievable win at TCU as a heavy underdog. That's impressive. Now, 219 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that the market sorely misjudged a Colorado 220 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: this year and BTCU Colorado was not expected to win 221 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: this game or be competitive, and you just look at 222 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: their offensive machine was like, what do we have here? 223 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: I mean, Sanders looked like an NFL quarterback. This is 224 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: mind you a guy. I had to look this up. 225 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: Sanders had offers from FSU, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, so 226 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: he was no pushover. Obviously. He ended up going to 227 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Jackson's State with his dad and they crushed it. The 228 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: other kid that had a massive game is Travis Hunter, 229 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: and I'll be honest this kid. First of all, let's start. 230 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: Travis Hunter is a dual threat cornerback wide receiver. He 231 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: was highly touted as a cornerback coming out, very talented 232 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: and skill wide receiver. This guy is a borderline superstar. 233 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: I saw the comparisons to Otani a little silly, but 234 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four snaps is pretty incredible. He 235 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: was tested nine times, only gave up three completions, and 236 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: had the red zone interception. That was big and then 237 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: the more interesting to me as a receiver Okay, he 238 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: was going up against the preseason All American quarterback, the 239 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: kid Newton, Josh Newton at TCU, and he lit him up. 240 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: Newton got beat up badly, like he got exposed, and 241 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: Travis Hunter just came out and crushed him. And you're like, 242 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: who can two players win in college football? And answers 243 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: not really. The real answer is this is the new 244 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: college football. Okay, we saw it. Not only Colorado win 245 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: as a big upset, but Texas State was a twenty 246 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: seven point dog against Baylor in one Outright, these two 247 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: teams through the transfer portal were able to rebuild their 248 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: entire program in essentially a heartbeat. You're bringing in over 249 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: thirty and forty guys through the portal, and the days 250 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: of we got a new coach, it's gonna take him 251 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: a few years. That's out. The way that stuff's gone. 252 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: The new formula is, let's bring on a coach, let's 253 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: hit the transfer portal hard, let's get a bunch of 254 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: new starters. Forget about bringing these high school eighteen nineteen 255 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: year olds up. Why don't we just hit the portal 256 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: and grab twenty twenty one year olds who've proven themselves 257 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: and you know I don't think we're gonna talk a 258 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: lot about the FSU beat down of LSU Sunday night. 259 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: But FSU went to the portal grabbed a kid named 260 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: Keon Coleman from Michigan State six four two fifteen oh 261 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: three touchdowns in its first game with FSU. It's like, 262 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: that's how quickly you can rebuild a program by hitting 263 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: the transfer portal. Now what's gonna hurt is the lowest 264 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: tier programs are gonna essentially become feeder programs to schools 265 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: the way people joked at the Florida Marlins are like 266 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: a feeder system to the rest of MLB. We're gonna 267 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: find the diamonds in the rough. Well, then we've gotta 268 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: sell them off to you guys. We're gonna trade them 269 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: for a ton. And in college football though there's no trade. 270 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: You sign awesome kids or middling kids. They explode and 271 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: pop and hopefully you can hold on to them. Otherwise 272 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna go to FSU. Now, Michigan State to FSU 273 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: is interesting, But a lot of the guys Colorado got. 274 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: Deon Sanders is like a name. Okay, people are gonna 275 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: easily Deon Sanders is calling you he wants you to transfer. Oh, primetime. Now, 276 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: I know Dion was in the nineties. A lot of 277 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: these guys who are playing college football now, they're born 278 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: in the two thousands, most, I would say, all of them. 279 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a couple of twenty four to twenty 280 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: five year olds out there, but by and large they 281 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: didn't know deon Primetime, but their parents did. Hey, dad, 282 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: Dion Sanders called me, and it's parents are gonna freak out. 283 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: That's obvious. Deon Sanders. The guy's a legend, well, of 284 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: the best cornerbacks in the history of the sport, and 285 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: he's now becoming a major disruptor in college football, not 286 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: just because of the transfer portal, but his attitude and demeanor. 287 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I saw a thing as small as you know, 288 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: teams put the C for captain on players jerseys, right, 289 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: you put the SEE on it. You're a captain, you 290 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: go do the coin toss. Okay. Dion Sanders has a 291 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: new thing okay where he apparently and I have the 292 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: exact thing in my phone. Instead of having captains, Dion 293 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: Sanders now has a thing where it's called L for leader, 294 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: D for dog. Captains are out. It's now leaders and dogs. 295 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: They will go out and do the coin toss. They're 296 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: your team leaders. So it's not only that though. He's 297 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: now going into press conferences and when people raise their 298 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: hand and ask a question after the game, he's like, 299 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: hold up, hold up, I remember you you were a 300 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: doubter or do you believe now? We don't see coaches 301 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: do that. Nick Saban won't go that far. Deon Sanders 302 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: is younger. He's a little brash, he's abrasive. He's not 303 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: gonna be for everybody he's talking to, talk and eventually 304 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: there will come a time where he will not back 305 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: it up. We get that you're not gonna be able 306 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: to back it up every game, but to come out 307 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: like this opening weekend, run your mouth all summer, go 308 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: on the road, play a team that just played for 309 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: the Natty. We know they're not that good, but again, 310 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: the common the average fan doesn't know that. To beat 311 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: them and then talk more, I think this is gonna 312 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: be a massive boon to the Colorado Buffalos program. TCU 313 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: apparently had. It was like they decided to make this 314 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: a big recruiting game where a bunch of high school 315 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: kids were invited to that game, potential TCU recruits. How 316 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: many of those guys do you think were like, damn, 317 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: Colorado looks good? Say understand what more years he going pro? 318 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: What's going on here? Dion? I mean they look like 319 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: a real player. Now, I don't think they're gonna go 320 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: and win eight, nine, ten games? Okay, will they hit 321 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: their overttal? Maybe we'll see. Schedule ain't easy, but this 322 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: is what's super interesting next week. So Vegas puts out 323 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: their lines for week one and week two. Warely in 324 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: the summer, we had Brad Powers on before I had 325 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: the surgery, who talked about this game Nebraska. It was 326 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: a seven and a half point favorite in week two 327 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: against Colorado seven and a half point favorite. So Colorado 328 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: beats TCU, Nebraska loses a close one, and Sunday the 329 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: lines come out and Colorado is now favorite. It's up 330 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: to three as we record this, So the line has 331 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: moved from Nebraska by seven and a half to Colorado 332 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: by three. That's a ten and a half point swing 333 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: in one game. Now that's what I like to call 334 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 1: a minor overreaction. I'm not touching Colorado, Okay, I think 335 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: the only bed here has to be Nebraska. And Matt Rule. 336 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be hyping Colorado. Everybody's gonna be hyping Hunter Sanders. 337 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna be rock stars on campus. Colorado's gonna have 338 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,479 Speaker 1: a tough time focusing on Nebraska this week given everything 339 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: that just went down. And don't think agents aren't gonna 340 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: be putting their runners out there. Hey, we need to 341 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: focus on this Sanders guy. We need to get it. 342 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: We need to kind of get in touch with Hunter. 343 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: We need to lay the groundwork because they look like pros. Now, 344 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: it's very early. It's one game, but the hype on 345 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: social media, you turn on TV, any college football, it's 346 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: all about Colorado. I would just pump the brakes a 347 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: little bit. Impressive as hell, no doubt, and Colorado's gonna 348 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: be very, very good eventually. But I would just caution this. 349 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: We're going to the playoff. Deon's coach of the year 350 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: standards for the Heisman. Let's just slow down. I know, 351 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: we don't like to preach caution anywhere because it's got 352 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: to be all gas, no breaks. You know, Jason likes 353 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: to preach a little bit of caution. So yeah, just 354 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: keep an eye on some of these transfer portal teams. 355 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: Texas State and Colorado were two of the biggest ones. 356 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: But the portal. Sam Hartman, the new quarterback at Notre Dame, 357 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: is now two and zero again easy wins. But the 358 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: transfer portal is the new game changer in college football, 359 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: and I think Deon Sanders is going to be a 360 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: massive disruptor in the sport. Remember this is a guy 361 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: who a year ago interviewed for the TCU job. They 362 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: gave it to Sunny Dyke. He ended up going to 363 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: the ninety Dion now goes to Colorado. People like, what 364 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: are you going to Colorado for? Deon Sanders wins his 365 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: first game and who knows what's next for the Buffaloes. 366 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: I do want to pivot quickly to the NFL. Nothing 367 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: colossal happened while I was gone. Thank goodness, Aaron Rodgers 368 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: did get a start for the Jets. Yes, I saw it, 369 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: very exciting. I guess the biggest news that I saw 370 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: related to my Jets is that Von Miller will be 371 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: on the pupp list to start the season out for 372 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: the first four games. That's huge for the Jets. They 373 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: don't have to face him. I'd like to remind you 374 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: at this time last year in the season opener, Rams 375 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: Bills Rams. Coming off the Super Bowl. I think they 376 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: sack Stafford nine times. Nine sacks against Stafford. And that 377 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: offensive line, Jets offensive line is a weakness. It sounds 378 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: like Beckton's going to start on the right, Dwayne Brown 379 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: on the left, and we'll see how they hold up. 380 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: But no Von Miller. That's kind of big. Also, no 381 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor of the Colts. He's on the puplist squabbling 382 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: with Jim Mersay, uh, just file us away. I'm gonna 383 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: talk more about it later in the week. Indianapolis Colts 384 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: owner last year decided to call an audible after they 385 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: fired their coach and bring in Jeff Saturday, who was 386 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: on the studio set for ESPN. It was a resounding failure, 387 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: an embarrassment to the organization, and Jim Mersey looked like 388 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: a clown, which is kind of on brand for him. 389 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: So how does he follow that up? I don't know. 390 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: Eight months later, he decides to pick a fight with 391 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: his well respected running back Jonathan Taylor, who if you 392 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: some of the stories that are trickling out of that 393 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: locker room. And Jonathan Taylor is like loved by everybody. 394 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. He's like a leader on the team, 395 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: and the owner, for no reason at all, picks a 396 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: fight with his star running back and then I start 397 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: running back down on the puplast to start the season. 398 00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: I'll just give you a hint of where I'm going. 399 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: Here's a breadcrumb. If you are gonna be the number 400 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: one pick and the Colts somehow get the number one 401 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: pick and they decide, oh, we want that quarterback. I 402 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: know we just drafted Richardson. Who cares. We're you gonna 403 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: pull an Elway or Eli Manning and just say I'm 404 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: not going there. I think that's well within your right. 405 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: You don't want to be anywhere near an owner like that. 406 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: I certainly know I wouldn't want to be. But I'm 407 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: not gonna be the number one pick like KAYLEB Williams is. 408 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be Drake made. Drake may look good, 409 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: Kayler Williams look fantastic. But we'll do more on Collins 410 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: later in the week. I guess the one NFL take 411 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: I've been marinating on I started to read more. So 412 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: the Trey Lance thing went down right before we took 413 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: a little hiatus, and it started to become increasingly clear 414 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: that Jerry Jones did this by himself. He didn't consult 415 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: McCarthy on whether or not Trey Lance would be a 416 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: value add to the quarterback room. At least it doesn't 417 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: sound like he did. Maybe he's bluffing and putting up 418 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: a front, but everything I've read is Jerry Jones just 419 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: said that's value. I want it. And I did have 420 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: this take several months back that this is a massive, 421 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: massive season for Dak Prescott. And if you can start 422 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: to read the tea leaves, they paid Zach Martin. I 423 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: just gave a huge crap ton of money to Terrence Steele. 424 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: They let Zeke go, they got Pollard, they got to 425 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: pay Micah Parsons, they got to pay I think CD 426 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: lambs next. And you guys might remember this take, but 427 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: I said, look at who Dallas has lost to in 428 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: the playoffs the last two years. Jimmy Garoppolo and the 429 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: Niners in a game where Dak and Kellen Moore, whoever 430 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: you want to blame it on, vomited all over themselves 431 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: on the final drive, and then Dak and Kellen Moore 432 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: could not get the offense generating anything against the Niners. 433 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: Also in the playoffs, one was at home, one was 434 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: on the road. Either way, Dak, a higher paid quarterback, 435 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: lost to Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purty. And I'm just 436 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: I put this out there, and I didn't get a 437 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: lot of pushback. I guess people just didn't love the take. 438 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: But I said, if I were Jerry Jones, I would 439 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: seriously look at building everything around the roster. And they 440 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: have arguably the best defense on paper in the leagues. 441 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: With the addition of Gilmore that defensive line, they're gonna 442 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: be good, really good. They got good receivers, offensive line, 443 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: they're paying people. We'll see about Pollard and duce Vaughan, 444 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: but Dak Prescott is the big question. I wanted to 445 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: spot track and I looked up his contract. Did you 446 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: guys know that there's an out in his deal after 447 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: the season. Dak led the league in interceptions last year 448 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: despite missing five games. He was not good. I know 449 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: people want to say he's a top ten quarterback. Fine, 450 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: if you want to say that's fine, doesn't mean a 451 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: hill of beans to me. So let's just put this together. 452 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: Your owner decides, well, Owner slash GM, I'm gonna go 453 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: pick up this quarterback that didn't do anything in San 454 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: fran The coach says, I'm getting rid of Kellen Moore. 455 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: I want to call the shots. Who do you think 456 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: is the next to go? In Dallas? Like, let's just 457 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: say they have a good season, they haven't reached a 458 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: conference championship game in twenty five years or whatever. Let's 459 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: say they lose in the second round of the playoffs. 460 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: Who's to blame. Is it gonna be McCarthy, Is it 461 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: gonna be Dak? It's gonna be one of those two 462 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: or possibly both. I mean, I think McCarthy the easy fixes. 463 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: You just slide Dan quinn in a coach. He's a 464 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: defensive guy, perfect right. Not what I would do, but 465 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: I think for Dallas it's a seamless transition that defense 466 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: is gonna carry the team this year. And then it 467 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: becomes what do you do a quarterback? Are you gonna 468 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: pay Dak a crap ton of money to be mediocre? 469 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: Because that's what he was? The numbers do not say 470 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: Dak has been an excellent quarterback, and the turnover numbers 471 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: are bad. The playoff numbers are worse. Cooper Rush versus 472 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, is that your preseason battle next year in 473 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: Dallas if the Cowboys come up short. Is Cooper Rush 474 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: versus Trey Lance the Dallas quarter Cowboys quarterback quandary next 475 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: offseason Because there is an out in Dak's contract after 476 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: this season, there's still sixty one million dollars a dead cap, 477 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: and I know people are gonna freak out at that. 478 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: In the grand scheme of thing, that's not that bad 479 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: because otherwise, well, you're gonna extend Dak for what three 480 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: more years? One hundred and twenty million dollars. Way, what 481 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: are you doing to do what Dak's not getting you 482 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: over the hump in any of these games. I don't know, folks. 483 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: I've never been a huge Dak Prescott guy. I think 484 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: he's underwhelmed in the playoffs. I mean, if you want 485 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: to give him the win over Tampa Bay, great, congrats Dack. 486 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: One of the high pay quarterbacks in the league, and 487 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: you have now two playoff wins. I think, what are 488 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: you gonna win a game that matters in the postseason? 489 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest question in the NFC, 490 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: because honestly, Philadelphi Eagles Jalen Hurts has been a great 491 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: quarterback for one year. That's it. It was one year. 492 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: You look before that, guys, nothing Rock Perdy eight starts, 493 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: that's your competition in the NFC. So based on what 494 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: Dak's being paid, isn't he the best quarterback of the 495 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: NFC contenders? Now? People say Jalen Hurts, But I'm just 496 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: saying that Jaalen Hurts had one great season. Dak's been 497 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: around a lot longer. Like it's weird, we love Jalen 498 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: Hurts all of a sudden for one awesome season. Great, 499 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: he was phenomenal, almost won the MVP. What had my 500 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: vote if I had one? Even though he missed the 501 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: two games late? Yet for Russell Wilson struggling last year, Oh, 502 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: he might be washed. He's not top ten. Aaron Rodgers, Ooh, 503 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. He kind of washed off one year. 504 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: But Jalen Hurts has one year. Obviously he's younger, and 505 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: it's like, wow, Jalen Hurts is the man. Listen a 506 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: lot overreactions and maybe I'm doing paralysis by analysis, But 507 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: the more I look at this NFL season, the more 508 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: uncertain I am about a lot of things. And it's 509 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: really gonna have to be a week to week journey 510 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: as opposed to making like, hey, I really think this 511 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: is gonna happen full season. I mean, between the injuries 512 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: and shocking teams and crap teams like season's a long slog. 513 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel good about Week one. Beyond that, 514 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: who the hell knows or it will be back tomorrow 515 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: breaking down Week one with one of my buddies. After that, 516 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: I think we'll do college football and then of course 517 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: we got mister Baker coming on later in the week. 518 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big, big week for NFL. Lions 519 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs is Thursday night. Gosh, I can't wait for the 520 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: season start art. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
