Speaker 1: people that when you accomplish stuff and you cross off

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: off a list, it feels it feels great. If you're

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: shod you're doing it, like finishing Christmas shopping for people

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: like that's like a huge sense of accomplishment, like, hey,

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: I finish this side of my family. I feel really

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: good about that. I finish this side of my family.

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: I feel really good about that I finished. I feel

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: really good about it. There's something about getting being done,

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: like yeah, I'm done. I feel good that.

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: Don't exchange a lot of gifts anymore. I show up

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: because it's gonna pay a lot to travel to see people.

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: Here's the gift, Tana. Here, I am pain enough to

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: fly here. Okay, just so you know, I brought you

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: a bottle of booges.

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: So a story I thought wasn't and hoping wasn't going

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: to be true today was true. Because Philip Rivers has

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: come out of retirement to sign with the Indianapolis Colts.

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: He is on the practice squad. It is not known

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: yet if he's going to be activated for this week

39
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: at Seattle.

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: I gotta go see if there's some over underlines for

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: his stats.

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: And that's my full side show, Bob running out of

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: the rake. He has a tryout on Monday, and this

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: shows you how desperate the Indianapolis Colts are is They

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: signed Philip Rivers to a contract to potentially play football

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: for them the rest of this season as they try

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: to salvage what looked like could have been a Super

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: Bowl year midway through the year. Now, Daniel Jones is

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: out for the year, Riley Leonard is week to week.

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson is still out after the orbital fractory suffered

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: earlier this year. This is desperation in its worst form,

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: because I look at the Colts and I go, what

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: the hell are you thinking that this is where you're at,

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: that this was a solution. Like on Sunday night, the

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: brain trust probably got together going, Okay, what do we

56
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: want to do? Hey, no stupid ideas? All right, don't

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: worry about it. No stupid ideas every one of those

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: companies are they? No idea is too stupid. He realized,

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: I really like this idea. But if you think it's stupid,

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: you're never gonna trust me again. No, no idea is

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: too stupid.

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: It's also, you know, really dangerous because now it becomes

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: a nine hour meeting. Yeah no, you have to let

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: them talk. No, that's stupid. Burt Jones, Nah, Burt.

65
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: No, no, No, when you win the MVP seventy five,

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, Burt Joe can't do Burt Jones. Can't

67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: do Burt Jones? All right? How about Jack Trudeau? Wait,

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: isn't he the guy that runs Canada? No, that's Justin Trudeau.

69
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so Jack Trudeau, Jack.

70
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: Zack and Jack here, Fox Sports Radio Mornings back in

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: the day.

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: I can't do it, can't do it. What about Philip Rivers? Now,

73
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: wait a minute. When he was on the team in

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, things were okay for boy. He played pretty well.

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: Things ended poorly. Remember Philip Rivers. At the very end

76
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: you could tell he was done in the NFL.

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: But that was after a lot of throws and a

78
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: lot of hits.

79
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: He's fresh, he was done. Oh, but he's familiar with

80
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the offense, he's familiar with the team. We have weapons

81
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: out there. Let's go get Philip Rivers. How does a

82
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: professional football team get to that decision for a guy

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: that's been out of the game for five years and

84
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: is forty four years old.

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk about a lot of guys starting every year. Right,

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: we're into the fifties and odds are well. I mean,

87
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers is almost fifty fifteen to one installed odds

88
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 3: as comeback player of the year, and that mean some

89
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: third on the list behind Christian McCaffrey and Dak Prescott.

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I fail to see how this became something that a

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: professional football team and not the Jets that said, yeah,

92
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: this is what we want to do.

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: I would love this conversation, right, So what I mean

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: how this comes to be? And we've seen the reports

95
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: that Philip Rivers has regular conversations with stich In, his

96
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: former QB coach, a guy who's worked with in the past,

97
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: and that Rivers had installed essentially what the Colts run

98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: as his offense for his high school team, so well

99
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: versed in the terminology, play call sheets, formations and everything

100
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: that they would utilize. So in that way, you've got

101
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: a quick transition where in your break glass in case

102
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: of emergency, desperation being a stinky cologne that I see,

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: it's like, well, this is all the stuff. He won't

104
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: have to do that one of these younger guys that

105
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: we could plug off a practice squad elsewhere, who might

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: be more mobile and able to play, could do. I mean,

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: he's going to know the play sheet better.

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand you're desperate. I understand desperation is

109
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: a stinky Cologne. I understand that, but wow, there's other

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: guys that have that could fit into this offense because

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: the silver lining is hey. As I said when Daniel

112
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Jones got signed in the spring, I said, that's why

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: they're my super Bowl long shot. He's gonna come in.

114
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: He'll fit with what this offense wants to do. And

115
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: sure enough, first half of the season it was great

116
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: right now and you saw what the division had faded away. Yeah,

117
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, Jacksonville and Houston are

118
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: in this resurgence and have chased them down in the

119
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: standings during this slide, and the consistency wasn't there, and

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Jones was already playing compromised with the leg injury. So

121
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: the elusiveness and being able to get to the edge

122
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: as a runner and buying time.

123
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: For his receivers, that was gone.

124
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: You don't have to worry about that with Philip Rivers, buddy,

125
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: It's already been gone for many a year.

126
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: With Rivers, it's the signing of or the the uh.

127
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: The way the first half unfolded, you were a one

128
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: ad nin Mitchell drop ball away from being undefeated. You

129
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: decided to go for it because you don't make a

130
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: trade for Sauce Gardner unless you know Daniel Jones is

131
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: our quarterback going forward. We have our guy, right, We're

132
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: going on. We're going to get one of the best

133
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: young cornerbacks in theory out there who really has never

134
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: been as good as his rookie year. We're gonna go

135
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: spend a lot to go get him. You gave up

136
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: draft picks, youre going and got him. Now he's hurt.

137
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: I get the desperation, but wow, man, really, I mean

138
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: the stuff you can convince yourself of that's a great

139
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: idea when in the light of day someone needs to

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: walk into that room and go, you guys insane. You're

141
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: taking a forty four year old guy that's been out

142
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: of the game for five years, and it's not like

143
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: he's been training every day to come back. It's not

144
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: like he's been trying to get back and calling teams

145
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: all the time. How did that try How good could

146
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: that tryout have been? That they said, yes, Philip Rivers

147
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: practice squad, How great could that try out have been? Again,

148
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: the guy has been away from the NFL for five years.

149
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: There's players who are in their twenties that are training

150
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: all year round. That if they hold out from camp,

151
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: and they show up about a week before the season.

152
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: When do you really see their best not till midway

153
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: through the season. Need a couple of months to get

154
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: into football shape. These are guys in their twenties that

155
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: this is in there in their wheelhouse to do it,

156
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and they still need time to get into football shape.

157
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is going to show up and be that

158
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: guy and he's gonna run an offense. I mean, I

159
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: cringe at to what the possibility of this is going

160
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: to be. I hope they don't put him in Sunday

161
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: against at Seattle. That would just be absolutely terrible. And

162
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe they will because you need a week.

163
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: He's got to learn the playbook at least a little bit.

164
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: But man, I know you want to win. A better option? Wow? Man,

165
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: who's a better option you? You could you give me names,

166
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: you could go. Okay, let's let's look at some of

167
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: the third where you go get Bailey z Appy off

168
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: the off He's not better than Philip Rivers. Sure he

169
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: is Philip Rivers again, forty four years old, five years away.

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: As you get to bring Keenan Allen with him and

171
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: thereby stink No, there's Look, there's plenty of terrible options

172
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: that are out there. Yeah right, I mean we we

173
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,800

174
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: that you were excited about. He's unemployed? Ellinger? Who was there?

175
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill? Whose name pops up better? No, but that's

176
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: but that's the thing, right, we're talking to all all

177
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: guys that are unemployed, Uh, not for as long as

178
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers, but some that are still hanging around the

179
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: practice squad's Taylor High would be a name, right, Mike

180
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,760

00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: out there.

183
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: Sure, Mike White has stunk for as long as Philip

184
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: Rivers is last playoff, Mike White would be fine for

185
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 4: a come bring back.

186
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: Trevor siyon.

187
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: They these guys have been in the league. At least

188
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: they're there.

189
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I.

190
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Don't know what you're expecting with Philip Rivers.

191
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: Din'd you say?

192
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: Though?

193
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: I didn't understand the break glass?

194
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: You know, I'm really mad as hell and I'm not

195
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: going to take any more of this. Like, who's he

196
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: keeping from really getting a job? This is like when

197
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: j R. Smith was on the golf team, Like, all right,

198
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: so some kids gotta go someone who cares. This guy's

199
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: gonna bring eyeballs and some money, and the kids that

200
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: are on the team with him are probably gonna eat

201
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: really well, travel well, get some pre swag and whatever.

202
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: Tim Tebow when he was in the minor league for

203
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: the Mets, I think everybody probably benefited from that. If

204
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: he's taken a guys either getting to the bigs or

205
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: he's not the same thing here and you're you're wishing

206
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: and hoping, you're saying, you know, this is the Christmas

207
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: miracle of Carol Brady getting her voice back in time

208
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: to sing during ass Man.

209
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: It's a fun story, and I understand it's fun. It's

210
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: fun for all of us because anytime you talk about

211
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: a guy from the past who's doing something we love

212
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: it right retro is something we all love. It all

213
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: makes us think of when we were younger. At this point,

214
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: we're five years younger, remember Philip Rivers career. We were

215
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: younger at whatever it was in the world that at

216
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: that time. We're going back to twenty twenty, which is

217
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: the pandemic, which was awful, all the way back to.

218
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: Two thousand and four when a young, bright eyed Philip

219
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: Rivers came in.

220
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: You're going back to his entire career. And I understand that.

221
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: But you can't look at the back of a guy's

222
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: football card and think, oh, this is what. No, you're

223
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: not getting that guy. You're getting the forty four year

224
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: old version of that guy. You don't go to a

225
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: You go to a high school reunion thinking, oh, I

226
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: can't wait to see Christine. She was so hot. Oh

227
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: my god, Christine's not gonna look the same, just as

228
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: Christine's coming going, Oh, I can't wait to see Jason. Know,

229
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: Jason doesn't look the same, right, doesn't have the same hair,

230
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the same It's getting that version of

231
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: this play.

232
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: But now you look like Luthor and people, so that

233
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: might help you look like a criminal mastermind.

234
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 4: You don't know what version you're getting. He hasn't played

235
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: in five years. You have no idea exactly. It could

236
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: be okay and they win the game. Set but I

237
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 4: could do this for he was very likely was thirteen

238
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: and a half. No, if he was good, he'd still

239
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: be playing.

240
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 2: He would What are you going to do Monday when

241
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: you have to apologize for this?

242
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about having to apologize Monday.

243
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: Well, you better start working on it.

244
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: Not worried about that first writing that apology. You really

245
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: think he's going to get it against the Seahawks in

246
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: Seattle and go wait and light it up. That's not happening.

247
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: Howat would that not be the story of the year.

248
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: It would be a miracle. It would be an amazing story.

249
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: It would be it would be absolutely amazing to be

250
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: a Sportsman of the Year. I can't see a path

251
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: to it. I can't see a path to it, man,

252
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: I really can't. I'd love to be able to say, yes,

253
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: this is going to work out.

254
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: You know, I'm hoping he just is able to still

255
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: physically walk back to the locker room at the end

256
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: of said game.

257
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's excited. You see videos of him from

258
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: his prime. It is if this is the quarterback that

259
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: the Colts are getting, they're gonna win the next guy

260
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: you're not getting that you're not getting because you see

261
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: a highlight of Philip Rivers from twenty fifteen. That's not

262
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: the guy you're getting. Man, that's ten years ago, right,

263
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it really is something that you have

264
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: a lot of other quarterbacks that have been able to

265
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: step in and do some things and at least that.

266
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: Name a better option.

267
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: I just gave you a few, and not one of

268
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: those guys is a better option than Philip Rivers.

269
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: In Philip Rivers career versus these guys career, Philip Rivers

270
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: options better the guys go in the Hall of Fame.

271
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers at forty four, hasn't played five years.

272
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: Those other guys were better options.

273
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: They would have called them not as good as these guys. No,

274
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know why they're calling Philip because he's

275
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: a better option.

276
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 3: No, But it goes back to right and JJ Watt

277
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: posted this and we talked about it a little bit earlier.

278
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: Is the idea that he's got that connection to stiching

279
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: and the terminology whatever. Now does that translate into him

280
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: being able to throw the football?

281
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.

282
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco is not much.

283
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: Younger, and he's winging it around when he's in there,

284
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: And is he always on Tartan No?

285
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, but he can still wing it around.

286
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look and understand Frostburg's wearing his Boltman gear tonight.

287
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: What he's talking about, how great Philip River. Is it,

288
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: By the way, whatever happened to the How do I

289
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: buy that? Is that shown up in an auction anywhere?

290
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Because I want it? I think I think maybe that

291
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: or mack Tonight, the same guy. He was maybe a

292
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: lawsuit with Boltman and duff Man. There might have been Oh.

293
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: No, he wants to party down, Oh no, here comes,

294
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, today's that day? Man.

00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: Look, I'd love to be look and I'd love to

296
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: be able to say I'm wrong. Wow, what an unbelievable

297
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: thing from Philip Rivers. Right, I'd love to say that.

00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: I love because we've had a year. We've watched old

305
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: out of control that you decide really late at night,

00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: It was just side of it. Storage.

399
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: Maybe diet Rule has lost his fastball.

400
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

401
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not the same. He's not the same organist.

402
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Who hasn't lost his fastball? Now, who hasn't edwin? Just

404
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: with a to nothing leading the ninth and suddenly he

405
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: leaves the basis load and it's two to time.

406
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,840

00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: You can hear him really nice in.

410
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: The accompanying video.

411
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: Now, I'm gonna learn how to play the opening of Narco,

412
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 3: and I will torment you every night. You think Diaz

413
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: will consider with a little cassio keyboard the whole time?

414
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: You know why? It may not have sounded so good?

415
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Why not?

416
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: I think his hands are still sore from that eighteen

417
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: inning game.

418
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: He may never be the same. He's still getting hand

419
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: massages every day. That's too tough.

420
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: That was tough.

421
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: Uh. What do you think first time Diz comes out,

422
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: Dieta Rule plays that form or do you think he

423
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: comes out to actual Narco?

424
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: Oh? That Timmy out will be there.

426
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: but when would you hear dieta Rule playing Narco? Like, well,

427
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: maybe if he comes in at the end of an

428
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: inning and then comes out and starts the next inning,

429

00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: big NFL story coming you're wear in a few minutes.

469
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: We had another great meltdown in the wake of the

470
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: college football playoff controversy, Miami getting in over Notre Dame.

471
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: Notre Dame saying we're not going to a bowl game.

472
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: We got an assurance, we got in next year if

473
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: we're one of the top twelve teams. We're upset that

474
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: the ACC pushed their teams over our team, even though

475
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: we're a business partner with the ACC, which is just stupid,

476
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: which is why I said last night, I hope No

477
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Tre Dame gets left out of everything. Every playoff notreme.

478
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: They went from sympathetic, they had the full Anakin, He'll

479
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: turn on now, we're not going to a bowl game.

480
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: We need assurances we get in because we don't want

481
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: to join a conference, so we want to be treated

482
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: as more special in everybody else. And oh, by the way,

483
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: the ACC, how dare they back their full time schools

484
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: over us? Right, it's stupid, but to.

485
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: Side by side comparisons just facts. They put a bunch

486
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: of that, like they started disparacy. He's like yeah, and

487
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: that that running back love his comic book's no good man.

488
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: It's like, just say, just say you went out of

489
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: the a SEC. Just say you went out of whatever

490
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: whatever the arrangement is. Well, never mind the fact the

491
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: AEC saved Notre Dame in twenty twenty during COVID and

492
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: they played a full ACC schedule that year and got

493
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: to the playoff Oh no, no, we're Notre Dame. I

494
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: hope they get left out of everything everything. But today

495
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: Big twelve commissioner Brett your Mark got in on things,

496
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: saying how upset he was with Notre Dame's ADP Bavaqua,

497
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: saying that, hey, we were upset with the acc and

498
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: they've irreparably damaged our relationship with them the comments man

499
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: and the Dan Patrick show. Your Mark said that his

500
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: comments and behavior was egregious and Bavaqua was totally out

501
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 1: of bounds in his approach and if he was in

502
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: the room, I'd tell him the same thing. Okay, now

503
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: this is why this story, and again we talked about

504
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: it last night. College football has no rules. When you

505
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: don't have rules, this is what you're gonna get.

506
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 5: Right.

507
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: We knew it was going to be this much of

508
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: a tire fire because there's no rules. But what's so

509
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: frustrating about this is that the two biggest things were

510
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: things that college football could have prevented, and seventy five

511
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: percent of this controversy would have gone away. Seventy five

512
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: percent would have gone away. All college football needed to

513
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: do was one a week ago, rank Miami over Notre

514
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: Dame or at some point, right Miami ahead of Notre Dame.

515
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: Because if they're that close and Miami beat Notre Dame,

516
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: you look stupid if you can't if you flip them

517
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: when you just want to put them ahead of Notre Dame.

518
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: When then nobody plays and somehow Miami gets ahead of

519
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, that's stupid. But you can't do the twist

520
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: until the season finale, That's just dumb. It was there

521
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: in the bag in the writer's room. It was there,

522
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: is all right, if all this happens, that we still

523
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: have this at our disposal, you could still have that

524
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: that you know how the that was you only.

525
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: Think anybody cared about for weeks until Lane Kiffen left.

526
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: You know how this is gonna come out. You know

527
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: this is gonna come out. This is you know you

528
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: knew you could have and should have put Miami ahead

529
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame, and you would have still had conference.

530
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: We would still argue about it, but you wouldn't look stupid.

531
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: You look stupid. The other thing was this, and we

532
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: told you this a year ago, talk about being ahead

533
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: of the curve. What did I say last year? We

534
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: have to go to sixteen teams because what's gonna be

535
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: the biggest sticky wicket that college football is gonna have

536
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: to navigate. How do you deal with a team with

537
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: two losses that goes to the conference championship game and

538
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: gets that third loss. There needs to be a more

539
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: uniform way of dealing with it, because what did the Ncay,

540
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: what did the committee decide to do? Yeah, not a

541
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: big deal for Alabama. Oh but BYU you're out. Okay,

542
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: that's a really big thing. Right when you go to

543
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: the conference championship game and lose, when you play that

544
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: extra game, that's why you got to go to sixteen teams.

545
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: You have to start taking from the four major conferences.

546
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: You have to take both teams that make it to

547
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: the conference championship, right, And I'd be okay with Duke

548
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: making it If that's the case. You go to sixteen teams,

549
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: you're just making four teams in the conference championship into

550
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: the playoff and you still have stakes to play for. Right,

551
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: You're still playing for a bye most likely if you're

552
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: playing in one of the top four conferences, Right, you're

553
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: still playing for a buye. But knowing that second team

554
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: gets in and there's still four more wild card spots

555
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: out there for you to get right. You're not doing

556
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: anything else but taking away that controversy because we knew

557
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: last year. How are you going to do what that

558
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: extra game? For some teams you decide it means something,

559
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: for other teams you decide it doesn't. And those two

560
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: things right, Miami over Notre Dame and how to deal

561
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: with the conference championship games. That's seventy five percent right.

562
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: You could have done both of those things and left

563
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame out and it would be a big story. Oh,

564
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame got left out, But I'd understand why. I'd

565
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: understand why Notre Dame got left out because here's how

566
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: things went. Miami beat them, they were ranked ahead of them,

567
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: here's where they went. If you had figured out that

568
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: that college football situation with the conference title game, that

569
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: would have taken care of all of the controversis that

570
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: makes you look stupid, and instead we just concentrate on

571
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: the controversy of the selection process itself. That way, it

572
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: takes us back to the early days of the BCS.

573
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: You're talking about arguing for one to two or the

574
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: top four teams. Hey, at least then you have argument

575
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: where you can stand on something and make a big

576
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: and make a big point about and go out. I

577
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: understand why you think this team should be four, but

578
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: I understand why they thought this team was four, why

579
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: this team was three. You would least have arguments that

580
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: are based in what you've seen on the field and

581
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: what you've seen in the rankings. This was just haphazard

582
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: and dumb and makes it seem like, yeah, guys just

583
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: showed up on Sunday going, yeah, let's yeah put these

584
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: teams here. Yeah, Alabama is a better team than bys,

585
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: let's let them in. Yeah, let's end BYU home. I mean,

586
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: I mean that that's kind of what it looks like

587
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: it was done. Seventy five percent of this controversy was

588
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: completely avoidable.

589
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got other folks wanting to abolish rankings preseason,

590
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: in season because you know, number eleven in week two

591
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: is not number eleven in week thirteen. We want to

592
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: get rid of these shows that break down and do

593
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 3: any of this. Let's not rank anybody until the end

594
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: of the year. How dumb is that? And it's one

595
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 3: of the cottage industries when it comes to college football.

596
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: What do you get a promo? It's like Hey, it's

597
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: pretty good team against another. For No, you need rankings,

598
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: but you need numbers in front of them to get

599
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: people fired up. So you're trying to add logic to this.

600
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: You're also gonna suggest You're probably gonna say something crazy

601
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: like having all football people in a room to debate

602
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 3: who should be in these things as opposed to you know,

603
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: well paid, well positioned lobbyists for each conference and heavyweight player.

604
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: Exit up about a Fresca exit swollen down the Jason

605
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike harm.

606
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: It's like, thank you for smoking in there with a

607
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: couple of football people randomly mixed in. What are you for,

608
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: big Tobacco? I'm for I got I got alcohol. What

609
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: do you get?

610
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm Gene Hackman from Runaway Jury. Yeah, I'm gonna charge

611
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna get to bring this verdict home for

612
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: big Tobacco. That's it.

613
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: That's where we're at this in these debates like wait,

614
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 3: who are you standing for? You're my biggest opponent because

615
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 3: you actually have some pretty good data points trailing you.

616
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: Time now to find out what's trending in the wide

617
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: world of sports. With someone who's been called the gene

618
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: Hackman of Fox Sports Radio. He came up with the

619
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: idea of the pick at fence and race team game.

620
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: It's need to say my team's on the court, that's right,
