1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: And we are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: And man, oh man, oh man, it is good. We

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: got football on all of our screens here.

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: We got a Chargers forty nine ers preseason game. We

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: have something that appears to be Arena League football. I

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: didn't know that even still existed, neither here nor there.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: We have high school football. And of course, as the

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: SEGRE just told you, one game left on the week

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: zero slate, Stanford at Hawaii. We will keep you posted

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: on that one. Jay mart Jason Martin, how you doing men?

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: Hope everything's well?

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: Yep, everything's pretty good. Football on television now, football on

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: television earlier today that actually counted. It's good time, it

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 3: really is. The temperature is still kind of hot here,

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: so I'm still waiting for the fall to get here.

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: But past that we're okay. I know it's hot out there.

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it is like unbearably hot, very humid for

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: this time here. Let me ask you this, okay, So

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: a couple of things. First of all, obviously, the big

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: game of the day, Iowa State and Kansas State in Dublin,

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: just really quickly. Iowa State wins twenty four to twenty one.

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: Listen with due respect to our audience and aims and Manhattan, Kansas.

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: You know, if you want the forty five minute game recap,

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: this probably isn't necessarily the place for you. But with

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: that said, I mean, I don't know how much you

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: got to watch, if there were any takeaways, but listen.

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: It is a meaningful game.

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: It's a cop first of all top twenty five matchup obviously,

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: but also a conference game in what I think most

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: of us and in about twenty minutes from now, will

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: reveal our college football playoff bracket. I think we all

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: think the Big Twelve is going to be probably top

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: to bottom, maybe the most competitive league in the country.

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: And so I just bring it up because you can't

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: say it's only week zero doesn't mean anything, because it

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: is a big conference win for Iowa State. Kansas State

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: falls to zero to one only on their regular season record,

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: but also in conference play. So this is a game

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: that could literally have impact through the first week of

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: December in the Big Twelve championship game, which of course

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: would then mean almost certainly impact on the college football

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: playoff as well.

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is this is a tough loss

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: for them to take it's weird because it's week zero,

45
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: and I've said this for years and years. Week zero,

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: week one, I kind of you can't throw it out

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: because it matters, but it's not indicative of what the

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 3: teams are going to be a couple of months from now.

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: The problem is last year they stopped.

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. Like sometimes it is continu to your point,

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: but yeah, but looking at this, like Casey, it's going

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: to have to overcome this, but they're going to have

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: an opportunity to do that. You talk about that league

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 3: being so competitive. What that may mean though, is they're

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: going to beat each other. They're all going to beat

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: each other around a little bit, and so they're going

57
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: to have an opportunity because of that. I just I

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: hate it because I mean, they schedule a conference game

59
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: right out of the gate, and somebody's going to take

60
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: a critical loss. This this is gonna sound just why

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: would I have to go here right now? Oh but

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: you had seventeen versus twenty two right in seventeen twenty

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: two or seventeen twenty one in terms.

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: Of the rankings according to the AH whatever.

65
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: It was, it was right around that number. Yeah, you

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: seventeen twenty two. Okay, you want to expand the playoff

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see where you're going.

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: You big ten. You want to go twenty eight teams? Yeah,

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: you get like seventeen didn't look like a team that

71
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: had any business being near a college football playoff today. Again,

72
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: I'm trying not to overreact to it because this week

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: zero in Week one, but this sport is not deep

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: enough to field a twenty eight to twenty fourteen playoffs like,

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: not at all, not if it wants to hold on

76
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: to the fact that that that postseason is supposed to

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: represent just awesome football teams all the way around. These

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: two teams are. They're pretty good. Neither one of them

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: needs to be we're near a playoff performance. Yeah.

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: No, I think it's a totally fair point. And you know,

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: uh uh, I uh, what was I gonna say? I

82
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: kind of lost my trade of thought here, to be honest,

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: But what I will say is is that you're one

84
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: hundred percent correct, and I just think that it's a

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: let me put it this way, I think that it's

86
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: a metaphor this game for it's fun, it's awesome, it's great.

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I think to your point, though, and we're gonna do

88
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: our college football playoff rankings in just a minute. You know,

89
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: you start getting past team you know five, I mean

90
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: when we did this last year, right, you know, it's

91
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: like you get past team five to six and you

92
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: kind of realize that there's gonna be some teams that

93
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: that maybe are pretty good but have a disadvantageous schedule

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna get in.

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: And then they're.

96
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Gonna be teams that kind of stink but the schedule

97
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: breaks right in their manner, or maybe they don't stink,

98
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: but they stink when they're put up against truly elite teams.

99
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: And so to me, I think it's actually a great point.

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: I hadn't even thought of it from that perspective, but

101
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: it is such an important point though, because now that

102
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: we're talking fucking it through and I don't even know

103
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: where you stand on sixteen. We actually got pseudo news

104
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: this week that you know, the SEC is going to

105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: nine league games, which to me kind of means they

106
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: probably feel like either expansion is coming or certainly they

107
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: feel like they're comfortable with where they stand in the

108
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: twelve team play. I don't even know where you stand

109
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: on sixteen but twenty eight is ridiculous. And then to

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: your point, once we go past I think twelve maybe sixteen,

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: it just completely devalues the regular season.

112
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: And so, yes, this was a fun opener.

113
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: It didn't feature any teams that I think we're going

114
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: to be talking about in late December into January fun

115
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: starts of the season. But to your point, if those

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: are two of the top twenty five teams in college football,

117
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: we don't need them in a playoff setting, right.

118
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, I'm cool with sixteen. I want to

119
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: see a few more teams than it that are playing

120
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: for something that really matters outside of just not that

121
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: they don't care and bowl games out you know, external

122
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: the college football playoff. But there's a difference there. So

123
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: I would like to involve a few more. But a

124
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: few more, is it like eventually that door does need

125
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: to close. It needs to stay elite, or at least

126
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: close to elite. Maybe you elite is the top line.

127
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: Maybe that's too much of a superlative to use. But

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: once you get past that above average line, like we

129
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: don't need to then be trying to parse who gets in.

130
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 3: That's not very good. But somebody has to get in.

131
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: To fill this slot like that, that's just not good,

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: even if you're filling it out with teams that had

133
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: pretty good seasons or even great seasons that were from

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: smaller schools. I just I don't think that that is

135
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 3: going to represent college football particularly well either. So, yeah,

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: sixteen is about my max. But watching this game, it

137
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: was just it does remind you again like these two

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: teams were playing hard, like they wanted this thing so badly.

139
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: It was entertaining. It kind of went back and forth.

140
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: It wasn't like crisp in terms of the offenses. But

141
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: you're not going to see that from most teams that

142
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: are gonna be in Dublin in Week zero, So it's

143
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 3: not the easiest place to play. I don't know how

144
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: much you can take away from it, but if you're

145
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: k State, you got a loss on the record, and

146
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: you got a loss to a team that technically was

147
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: lower than you in the preseason rankings, which in my

148
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: opinion still shouldn't exist. But that notwithstanding, you now have

149
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: a barrier. Now you have a bit of an obstacle

150
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: that you're gonna have to overcome a game that maybe

151
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: you could have lost later on down the road. Now

152
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: you don't have that luxury because you've already got that loss.

153
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna switch gears and taking a different

154
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: direction because your big takeaway was the playoff, you know,

155
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about how deep college football really is

156
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: at the top.

157
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: Here's my takeaway.

158
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: And again, you know, again you said you don't want

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: to be too negative by winding about something. I don't

160
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: want to be too negative whinding about something. I think

161
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: we need to figure out what week zero is. And

162
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: to me, I and what I mean by that is

163
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: this is that right now on my team. Well, first

164
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: of all, you have this great game to open the season.

165
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: You know, great as a relative term or wasn't you

166
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: know we're not gonna be talking about in fifty years,

167
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: but two top twenty five teams Dublin. It feels big,

168
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: it feels awesome. The next game on the schedule is

169
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: not on TV, Idaho State versus UNLV. Then a couple

170
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: hours later you get Fresno State Kansas. You get Sam Houston,

171
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: Western Kentucky, Stanford, Hawaii, which actually just went final to

172
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: say you have the updates for you in just a minute,

173
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: as Hawaii actually beat Stanford to open the season in Hawaii.

174
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: I bring it up because to me, I need to

175
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: we need to figure out what week zero is because

176
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm turning on the TV and we got Top twenty

177
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: five matchup, then nothing, then we have like FBS versus FCS, and.

178
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: Then we have a couple of FCS games.

179
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: We got some high school football on, and to me,

180
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: I just feel like I understand, you know, you know,

181
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to put too much on Week zero

182
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: because you want you know, you want one, no matter

183
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: and all that.

184
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: I guess.

185
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I just like it just was so disjointed, disorganized whatever.

186
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: Where You're coming off the high of that Kansas State

187
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Iowa State game. Iowa State, you know, clinches it in

188
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: the final seconds with a big fourth down conversion. You're excited.

189
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: Then there's nothing on. Then there's something on, but it's

190
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: not on. It's just it speaks to me to the

191
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: dysfunction of college football. Because college football, we know this,

192
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: but there's every there's leadership at the top, but it's

193
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: conference driven, not NCAA driven. And so I think we

194
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: say this all the time. Nobody's looking out for the

195
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: good of college football. They're looking out for the good

196
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: of their individual team, their individual school. Their individual conference,

197
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: they're whatever. And so I was saying about that today

198
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: of just the idea that I think this is a

199
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: metaphor of it's all little disorganized and once we play

200
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: the games, it's awesome. But like today, I thought it

201
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: was a perfect example of we have this one awesome

202
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: game and then there's just nothing basically the rest of

203
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: the day.

204
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that it's all about how

205
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 3: you market it. If you're gonna do a week zero,

206
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: don't have one sort of regionally interesting matchup and then

207
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: nothing else that anybody is going to pay any attention to,

208
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: you talk about disjoint it. It just kind of it's

209
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: just kind of a mess. It's like, here's a game.

210
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: Here's a game. Here's a game. You probably aren't going

211
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: to have any reason to pay attention to this but football, right, Like,

212
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: maybe exactly come up with a way take three, I

213
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: don't know, come up with three or four games that

214
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: are matching in conference opponents. Maybe I'm not talking about

215
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: top five or whatever like that, but make it a

216
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: thing like there's gonna be three or four games whatever

217
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: it is, and they do have relevance, like they're either

218
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: big brands or again, they're big conference matchups or something

219
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: like that, and they could be middle of the road games.

220
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: But at the same time, like do something with it

221
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: where it can be marketed. Like I'm not talking about

222
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 3: an end season tournament, Adam Silver, I'm just talking about

223
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: something to where you can market week zero as Hey,

224
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: this is sort of the soft launch, Like we kind

225
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: of know that Thursday, prior to the Sunday in the NFL,

226
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: you're gonna get a pretty solid PM match up to

227
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: kind of kick off the season, and then Sunday everybody

228
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: else plays. But you only have one game there. Here,

229
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 3: you sort of have several games, but you don't have

230
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 3: any There's not like any way to kind of contextualize

231
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: what's happening. It's just sort of all over the place.

232
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: I think that you bring it home, you structure it

233
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: a little bit. You say, here's an SCC matchup, here's

234
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: a Big twelve match up, here's a Big ten match up,

235
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: here's an SEC matchup, and you do.

236
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: All of those.

237
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: And yes, I know small conferences can whatever, right, I mean,

238
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: they can be added to it, but have three or

239
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: four games where it is set in stone that we're

240
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: gonna do this year after year. After year, put them

241
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: in neutral sites, put them in Dublin, and go overseas

242
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: wherever you want, like put one in London, put do

243
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: whatever it is you want to do, put one in

244
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: Mexico City, or find a different way to do it.

245
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: But do something where it feels a little bit larger,

246
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: where this is a soft launch, but it's more like

247
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: a party, like yes, week one is Week one, but

248
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: at the same time, these teams that play early are

249
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: basically the fireworks show before everything gets started, so they

250
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: have a stage on top of that, and then Week

251
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: one is its own stage.

252
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's a great point.

253
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think they can also feature

254
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: some of those smaller conference you know teams or whatever,

255
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, some of the smaller you know, the whatever,

256
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter who it is, but I think it

257
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: could be a good platform for them as well. But

258
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: it was just weird of going straight from again Top

259
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: twenty five matchup decided essentially on the final play fourth

260
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: down conversion to just nothing, and so so it's interesting.

261
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: It's definitely interesting as week zero is in the books.

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, Week zero is now officially final

263
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: because the final game of the day by the way

264
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: it is. My last gripe about week zero. We got

265
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: a game in Hawaii that kicked off at seven thirty

266
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Eastern time.

267
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what we're doing?

268
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: Can we get it? I'm not asking for the one

269
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: am in week zero, but maybe like a.

270
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: Ten eastern seven Pacific Like that's another perfect example of

271
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: you got the degenerates on the couch, you got families

272
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: on the couch, you got people that want to watch

273
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: football on the couch. And it's over at eleven fifteen Eastern.

274
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: I guess it's eleven fifteen eastern. Maybe it's not so bad,

275
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,479
Speaker 1: but you get the game in Hawaii.

276
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: How are we how are we get? How are we having?

277
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: I think it was a one thirty Easter or one

278
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: thirty local time start there, Come on, college football, be better.

312
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: down to all the biggest games. Tune into Countdown presented

313
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: by BETMGM every Saturday and Sunday morning, right here on

314
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. All right, so

315
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about week one or week zero.

316
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me, all games are now final to say, we'll

317
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: get you the updates in the news and notes in

318
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: just a minute. The big one, of course, Top twenty

319
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: five matchup in Dublin, Iowa State takes that game twenty

320
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: four to twenty one. That was the big result from Saturday.

321
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: Next weekend is going to be insane. And listen for

322
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: all of our criticisms in segment one. We do love

323
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: college football, and so what the heck, We're gonna go

324
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: ahead and drop our college football playoff bracket right now.

325
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: Our twelve teams, who's making the playoff off, who's winning

326
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: the championship? Mary, give us a little music? Oh yeah,

327
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: that banned on campus. It's great, Okay, So this is

328
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: how we're gonna set it up. So just a couple

329
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: quick reminders. Twelve teams in the college football Playoff. You've

330
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: probably heard this year. The only real difference from last year. Remember,

331
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: five conference champions get in, so one group of five

332
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: team is we'll get in. We assume that the acc SEC,

333
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Big ten, and Big twelve get the other four automatic bids.

334
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: The only other change.

335
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: To the playoff this year, yes, it's still a twelve

336
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: for a second year, hopefully we keep it there for

337
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: a while, is that there is no longer auto buys

338
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: to the quarterfinals for conference champions. That's how Arizona State

339
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: got into the quarters last year, It's how Boise State

340
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: got into the quarters last year. That will not be

341
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: the case. It will be true top seeding. So with

342
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: that said, we're gonna give you our bracket. We're gonna

343
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: go in reverse order, giving you team twelve all the

344
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: way down to team one. We probably won't go through

345
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the entire bracket, but we'll give you our national champion.

346
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: Jamart, I'm gonna put it on your plate first.

347
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: Who is your twelve seed in j Mart's College football

348
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: Playoff bracket?

349
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: All right, So, as I told you earlier, I used

350
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: it's non scientific, but it was the way that I

351
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: looked at. This was I kind of wrote down the

352
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 3: teams that I liked, that probably about fifteen sixteen teams

353
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: somewhere in that neighborhood. And then I went and looked

354
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 3: at every one of their schedule, and basically I totaled

355
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 3: up the number of games that I felt were trouble

356
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: spots for them along the road. Now, some of them

357
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: are TBA in terms of their times and some of

358
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. So we know some of the buys.

359
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: We don't know necessarily all of the schedules across the board,

360
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: but we know the teams that they're playing at the

361
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 3: very least. And so I also wanted to find a

362
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: couple of places where I could pick a team that

363
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: maybe a lot of people won't have because there's gonna

364
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: be some brand of chaos this year. So I had

365
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: to find a few that were more off the beaten path.

366
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 3: Now I wouldn't say they're that far off the beaten path,

367
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: but there's one team I don't have in from this

368
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 3: same conference that most people will have in. But I

369
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 3: do have this team in, and I don't know that

370
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: virtually anybody has this team in. My number twelve seed

371
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 3: is the South Carolina game costs. Okay, Okay, Now they

372
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: have some trouble spots and no question about that, but

373
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: Sellers is the truth, and I feel like he's gonna

374
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: come back a more polished passer this year to go

375
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: with what's basically unstoppable when he tries to run the football.

376
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 3: I generally just like what Shane Beemer is building there.

377
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: They've got a stud on defense as well. Even though

378
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: it's going to be difficult, I just like them. I mean,

379
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: they were right on the doorstep last year, and I

380
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: feel like they're gonna be right there again. They're in

381
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: an East situation at least kind of where they used

382
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: to be the way that they used to be seen.

383
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: Even though it's difficult, I like them better than some

384
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: of the other possibilities in the SEC. So I've got

385
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: South Carolina at twelve.

386
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have a surprise SEC team later on

387
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: in the bracket. I will save that for later. My

388
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: number twelve team is the Boise State Broncos. We don't

389
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: have to break down the depth chart, but a group

390
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: of five champion will get in. Boise State obviously last

391
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: year got in with Ashton Genty. Ashton gent is now

392
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: an Oakland Raider, but they return a bunch. They the

393
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks back and basically like they're sort of the gold

394
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: standard at this point of group of five teams. The

395
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: other thing is too I think it'll be interesting. They

396
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: have a couple intriguing games throughout the calendar to kind

397
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: of put people put themselves on people's radar, including at

398
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame in November or in October. Excuse me not

399
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: saying they win that game, but I think, you know,

400
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: obviously they will have opportunities, so I will have I

401
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: will have the Boise State Broncos as my number eleven team,

402
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: number twelve.

403
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 3: Team, your number twelve teen A right now, you can

404
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: give me your number eleven team.

405
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so my number eleven team. I have been back

406
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and forth on two teams for my last at large spot,

407
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: and it's not either of the SEC teams that I've mentioned.

408
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: It's one team that you can inherently trust, but it

409
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: is also a team that everyone doesn't really like. And

410
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: then it is also a team that no one can trust.

411
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: But the talent is there. So I this is gonna

412
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: sound crazy. I almost put Indiana back in because the

413
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: schedule gets much tougher this year at Oregon at Penn State.

414
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of drop off after that big game.

415
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: They're playing Illinois at home. You know what, screw it,

416
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a little fun. I'm gonna put Indiana at.

417
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: Number eleven and changing.

418
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll do it, because, you know what, I don't

419
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: want to just have a super generic, boring bracket.

420
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: The team that I I also had in this spot

421
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: was Miami, and Miami it's the opposite.

422
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: They have the talent. I told you a few weeks ago.

423
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: I do think that there's a little revisionist history on

424
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: Carson Beck. I understand he wasn't great last year, but

425
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: two years ago, twenty four touchdowns, seventy two percent completetion percentage.

426
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: I just don't trust Mario Cristabont, and so bottom line,

427
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: I'll stick with Indiana. I think that they can get

428
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: to ten and two. And I know that everybody's all

429
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: fired up about how Indiana got in last year. I

430
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: just find it hard to believe that Indiana at ten

431
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: and two, a big ten team at ten and two,

432
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: would get left out.

433
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I definitely Indiana was definitely a team that

434
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: I looked at as well as another team that starts

435
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: with the letter I from that exact same conference. So

436
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: here's where I have Boise.

437
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so I.

438
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 3: Don't have to remake your case for you, but I

439
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: wrote down obviously Notre Dame on October the fourth in

440
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 3: South Bend, and maybe you could slip up somewhere. But

441
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: I look at the rest of the schedule and I think,

442
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: really Notre Dame is going to be the only loss,

443
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: and so I think ultimately you're looking at Boise, You're

444
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: looking at Tulane, maybe you're looking at Memphis. There's a

445
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: few other teams that you could potentially look at. But

446
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: I looked at Tulane and they go too Ole Miss

447
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 3: and they go to Memphis. I think they probably lose

448
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: one of those, maybe they even lose both of those.

449
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: And Boise is just a team that when you talk

450
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 3: about trust, Boys is a team that you can just

451
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: trust and they've always kind of been there. So to me,

452
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: they only have that one real chance to lose, and

453
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: probably will lose that game. But that's where I've got

454
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 3: Boys is right there at.

455
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: Eleven, perfect number ten.

456
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: I'll just get to mind because this is the team

457
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: that I've been pseudo teasing I think to your point,

458
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: somebody from the SEC is gonna get in as a surprise.

459
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: I had a few teams circled, including South Carolina, who

460
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: j Mart does have in. You know, I Meani're gonna

461
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: look really smart or really dumb on this one. I'm

462
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Florida Gators.

463
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: Interesting, I thought you were going with A and M.

464
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: So I have been on and off the A and

465
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: M bandwagon all summer. And two quick things. One, they

466
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: just have a weird stretch in their schedule three straight

467
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: road games in the SEC, which I don't know that

468
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: that happens very often, plus Florida on the front end,

469
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: plus South Carolina on the back end.

470
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I mean. You know, even if

471
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 2: they go three and two.

472
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: They play Notre Dame as well, and so I it's

473
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: A and M also, that's part of it. But the

474
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: thing with Florida is, I do think because they've been

475
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: really hammering home this little college football nerdy stuff. But

476
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: they have really been hammering home this whole concept of

477
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, record strength. In other words, they don't want

478
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: teams like Indiana that don't play anybody to just get in.

479
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: And so I think if Florida with that schedule, which

480
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: I won't read all of it, but these are the

481
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: notable games at LSU, at Miami, Texas at home at

482
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: A and M then Georgia ona Neutral Ada will miss

483
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee if they I think if they go nine and

484
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: three with that schedule, they're going to have good wins.

485
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: I will put them in as a nine and three

486
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: sec at large team at number nine.

487
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, I mean, I don't dislike that. It's just

488
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 3: is Laguway gonna be able to stay healthy? I think

489
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: is one of the big things. But yeah, I mean

490
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: they're about fifteen sixteen on most people's lists, so I

491
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: don't think that that's that's not too off the beaten path.

492
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I couldn't quite get there my number ten.

493
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 3: I got Miami. Oh yeah, exactly. But I look at them.

494
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: They go to SMU. I don't know what SMU is

495
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 3: gonna be this year. They go to Florida State. It's

496
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: in state, but I don't know that Florida State's gonna

497
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: be particularly good. They play Florida and they played Notre Dame.

498
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 3: Those two. I think they probably lose, but I think

499
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: they got a shot because man, the ACC is just

500
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 3: weak is all get out, Like, just looking at it

501
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: across the board, I don't see a universe where they

502
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: don't have two teams get in and I know what

503
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 3: the other one's gonna be. So here I've got Miami.

504
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: It's more process of elimination. I don't love them, but

505
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: I do think cars. I agree with with you about

506
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 3: Carson Beck. Jordan's receivers were awful last year in terms

507
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: of their drops, and maybe Beck wasn't. Certainly Beck had

508
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: regressed a little, but that whole team just was not

509
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: the same. And I have a hard time believing that

510
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: Carson Beck is not going to be better this year

511
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: than he was last year, at which point I think

512
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: that that's gonna help Miami out. Not that I think

513
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: Carson Beck's gonna outperform what cam Ward just did, but

514
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 3: I look at it and there's just there are too

515
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: many teams that I just don't feel great about where

516
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 3: I'm just like, yeah, I don't love Miami, but I'm

517
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 3: gonna put him in anyway.

518
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'll tell you what will continue this conversation.

519
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: Do want to take a quick pause because there are

520
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: football scores to update, So for the first time this

521
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: evening on our show, the first time this fall for football,

522
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: even though it's like two hundred ten degrees outside. Steve Seger,

523
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: what is training, my friend?

524
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 7: We did have five games on the Saturday schedule to

525
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 7: start the college football season, and the late game is

526
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 7: in Hawaii. Appropriately enough, the Warriors hosting stamp. Hawaii tied

527
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 7: the game on a field goal of thirty seven yards

528
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 7: with about two minutes to go. Stanford's offense then went

529
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 7: three and out. Quickly, Hawaii got the ball back and

530
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 7: on the final play of regulation lined up for a

531
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 7: thirty eight yard field goal attempt. Is up, o god,

532
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 7: Haaii has done CBS with the call twenty three to twenty.

533
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 7: Hawaii is the final with those two late field goals

534
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 7: in this contest. Tonight and Kansas on Fox TV won

535
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 7: easily thirty one to seven over Fresno State on a

536
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 7: night they reopened the Kansas Football Stadium after construction. Wins

537
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 7: for Western Kentucky and UNLV and for Iowa State, which

538
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 7: started the season with the win in the rain in

539
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 7: Dublin over Kansas State twenty four to twenty one. Each

540
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 7: team was preseason top twenty five as for the NFL

541
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 7: exhibition campaign, it ends with still two more games to

542
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 7: finish up. Tonight in the preseason, the forty nine Ers

543
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 7: have taken the lead on the Chargers twenty three to

544
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 7: six team. There are three and a half minutes to go.

545
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 7: The game was tied, but with six minutes left, Charger

546
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 7: quarterback dj luiangli La, who played for what was it

547
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 7: fifty two schools in college by the end of way.

548
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: I believe. Yeah, we talked about Florida State week zero

549
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: last year. Oh, you can't overreact to week zero. No,

550
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: they just really sticked.

551
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 7: I personally will remember the Oregon State career, but from

552
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 7: that he started seven of seven with a touchdown.

553
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: I forgot about the Oregon Stadium.

554
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: That was how memorable that was the post Clemson year,

555
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: the first one.

556
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 7: That's future Pack twelve champion Oregon State Beavers.

557
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: You're thinking it. They won it last year too. No, actually,

558
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: Washington State, Washington State the Pack two anyway at one

559
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: to zero in league play.

560
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 7: Yes, Dju started seven of seven and since then is uh,

561
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 7: it's not seven of seven. Let's just say he's four

562
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 7: of fifteen with an interception and it was a pick

563
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 7: six with six minutes to go to give the forty

564
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 7: nine ers. The lead now three and a half minutes

565
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 7: left the home team up twenty three sixteen. San Francisco Stadium,

566
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 7: by the way, which is in San Francisco, will be

567
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 7: hosting the Super Bowl at the end of this coming

568
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 7: NFL season. As for the other late game, it's halftime

569
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 7: in Arizona, Las Vegas Raiders tied with the Arizona Cardinals

570
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 7: ten ten Ashton gent with just a couple carries five

571
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 7: yards rushing in the first half. Among the earlier games,

572
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 7: Cleveland kicked a field goal on the final play to

573
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 7: beat the Rams nineteen seventeen. Schudor Sanders was sacked five

574
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 7: times in the second half. Denver won twenty eight nineteen

575
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 7: at New Orleans. The Saints will name their starting quarterback

576
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 7: next week, either Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shuck. There was

577
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 7: an next gould be good, that's yeah, or not so good.

578
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 7: NASCAR's race was tonight. Four hundred at Daytona goes to

579
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 7: Ryan Blaney, who won by half a car length. This

580
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 7: ends their regular season, so with this victory of Blaney,

581
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 7: that means the final two spots unofficially clinch for the

582
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 7: upcoming playoffs. To Tyler Reddick and Alex Bowman, and the

Speaker 3: Rastcar needs some help at Garland playoffs.

585
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe you know, twenty two or twenty six people

586
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 7: can get into the oh. I guess that's already been

587
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 7: suggested this week anyway. Southern five hundred is next weekend,

588
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,320

Speaker 7: the division.

00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: Air towards Jason Martin broadcasting live from the Fox Sports

606
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: Radio studios. Already going along. So Mary, give us some music,

607
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: put us in the mood. Let's keep this college football

608
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: playoff bracket going. We have revealed a grand total of

609
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: three teams.

610
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: A good job.

611
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, number nine, c J mart In your bracket?

612
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 3: Who do you got? Texas Tech?

613
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: Texas Tech Big twelve Conference champions?

614
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: That's right. Look at Utah, at Arizona State, at Kansas State.

615
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: Those are certainly games that they can lose. I'm just

616
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: buying into the idea that they spent a lot of

617
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: money and they did a lot of good work in

618
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: the transfer a portal, and this is the test case

619
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: to see whether or not we're going to see a

620
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: ton of this going forward. If this works, we're going

621
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: to see a lot of duplicates from some schools that

622
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: we have not thought about in a long long time.

623
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 3: They've got deep pockets at Texas Tech. They use them.

624
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 3: I think at the very least that's going to get

625
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: them into the playoffs and win a championship in their conference.

626
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just say this really quick.

627
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: On Texas Tech, it also seemed thought out, like, yes,

628
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: they spent a lot of money, but it is unlike

629
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: the A and M thing where they were just buying

630
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: everybody left and right. It's like, it feels like there's

631
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: a thought process to this. We'll see what happens.

632
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.

633
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: I'll give you my nine and eight in order because

634
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: it does include my big Big twelve champions so we

635
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: can piggyback Number nine.

636
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: Notre Dame fighting Irish.

637
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Two toughest games of the year, Miami to open the

638
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: season on the road, Texas A and M at home

639
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: in actually week three, so they get the early buy.

640
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: I think they split them. I really like Marcus Freeman.

641
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: The only thing I worry about.

642
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: He's taken some weird losses at various points, So I

643
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: think they take a weird loss somewhere, and I think

644
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: there's just enough games that they could lose where they

645
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: still finish ten and two and respectable ten and two again,

646
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame not getting into the college football playoff without

647
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: they're not missing the college football playoff at ten and two.

648
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: Number eight is my Big Twelve Conference champion. I will

649
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: give it to the Arizona State Sun Devils repeat champion.

650
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be tough without Skataboo, but I

651
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: saw my buddy who actually covers the team, mentioned this

652
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: to me.

653
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: They returned.

654
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: I think he said, thirty eight of the forty four

655
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: guys on there too deep from a season ago. And listen,

656
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: I know it's a power for school, but they don't

657
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: really have money like that to just, you know, retain everybody.

658
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: And they retained everybody, and so the schedule is certainly tough.

659
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: At Iowa State, I think Utah will be improved, but

660
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: I have Arizona State as my Big Twelve Conference champion,

661
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: hosting Notre Dame in the first round of the.

662
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: College Football Leaft. Keep give me number seven, j Mart,

663
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: We'll come back and do the rest, all right.

664
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: My number eight?

665
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry.

666
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: I'm is Alabama. I've got Bama at eight at FSU.

667
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: I'm not really worried about at Georgia Tennessee at South

668
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: Carolina LSU. I just I need to see what they're

669
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 3: gonna do with quarterback spot and how well he's going

670
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 3: to play, And just I want to see how they

671
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 3: come back from last year. I think they should be very,

672
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: very good, but I'm just kind of keeping it in

673
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 3: caution mode. So I'm gonna put them eight, and I'm

674
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: gonna put the Oregon Ducks at seven. At Penn State,

675
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 3: Indiana at Iowa are the three that I kind of

676
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: pegged as being trouble. I'm not as worried about Washington

677
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 3: this year. I just I'm not like over the moon

678
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: about this Oregon team. But I also just think they're

679
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: gonna be rock solid in that schedule kind of plays

680
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: to their advantage, and so I feel pretty good about

681
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: them coming in as one of those Big Ten representatives

682
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 3: at the seventh spot.

683
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: Well, I will be quick because my number seven team

684
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: is the Oregon Ducks. And uh, it's basically the exact

685
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: same logic as you. They lost a lot, but reletive, listen,

686
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: I think the Big Ten is getting better at the

687
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: middle and the bottom than it's been. But Oregon losing

688
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot is still better than a lot of Big

689
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Ten teams returning a lot. And so, like you said,

690
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know outs you know, listen that at Penn State,

691
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: Penn State better win that freaking game. So even if

692
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: Oregon loses that game, It's really hard to find a

693
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: second third loss. And so I think they're one of

694
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: these teams where, you know, making the playoff feels like

695
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: their ceiling. But because of the way the schedule breaks,

696
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: I do have them in the playoff. Tell you what,

697
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: we'll come back. When we do, we will reveal the

698
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: rest of our bracket in our National champion. Er toors

699
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Jason Martin, this is Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back, everybody,

700
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Er toords Jason Martin, broadcasting live from

701
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio studios.

702
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: We're taking you up till two a m.

703
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: Eastern time. Week zero is in the books. Five games

704
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: are done. The notable game Iowa State Kansas State in Dublin.

705
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: Iowa State gets the twenty four to twenty one win.

706
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: Week one really kicks off in earnest on Thursday. Boise

707
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: opens at South Florida, Illinois, a top twenty five team

708
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: will play on Friday. Also Nebraska Cincinnati early in the season,

709
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: so a couple intriguing games on Thursday. Tell you what, though, Mary,

710
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, give us a little music, put us back

711
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: in the mood, because we got to get to the

712
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: rest of our college football playoff bracket. Excuse me, we're

713
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: up to the number seven team in our bracket. We

714
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: both had Oregon. Who do you have at number six?

715
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: Georgia? Okay, at Tennessee, then they have a bye, they

716
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: get Alabama Texas, then they've got Ole, Miss and Florida

717
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: also on the schedule. There's just I think they're gonna

718
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: be very very good. Don't get me wrong, I just

719
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 3: I don't know that this is I feel like we've

720
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 3: kind of moved past the juggernaut version of Georgia that

721
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: we've seen. Certainly they're still gonna be there, obviously, but

722
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 3: six is about right. I think there's three four trouble

723
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: spots on that schedule. That's enough for me to hesitate

724
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: to go any higher.

725
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: All right, I'll give you my number six team, maybe

726
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a surprise at how low they are.

727
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: I have Jason Martins, Penn State, Nitney Allons, Yeah, James Franklin.

728
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: Though for people who don't know, we are not fans

729
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: of James Franklin, listen. I think they're gonna get to

730
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship game. They're probably only gonna lose

731
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: to Ohio State in the regular season, but I think

732
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: if you get to a Big Ten Championship game and

733
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: you're hypothetically again playing Ohio State after you again didn't

734
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: beat them, at some point, like it gets in your

735
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: head and I listen, I'll I you know, shaker, I'll

736
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: have Ohio State in this bracket at some point. I

737
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: don't even think Ohio State is anywhere close to as

738
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: good as last year. But if the if Ohio State

739
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: gets that win, if Penn State has to face them

740
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten Championship game again, I would worry

741
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: about the psyche going in. So I have Penn State

742
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: at number six? What's next at number five?

743
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 3: J Mark Notre Dame. Okay, you had them lower obviously

744
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: at Miami and A and M or the two that

745
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 3: I marked are the same ones that you marked as well. Uh.

746
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 3: I want to see what they do, obviously with some

747
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: of their key losses, but they also have some guys

748
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: coming back. I think Freeman has We'll see if he's

749
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: gotten the Northern Illinoise out of his system going forward.

750
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: Like you mentioned, they have had some weird losses. I

751
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: just look at that schedule and I'm just not impressed.

752
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 3: I'm not impressed at all. And Notre Dame was really

753
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 3: good last year. I don't see any reason why that

754
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 3: is going to change. They're still gonna be able to

755
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 3: run like crazy, and they're gonna play hard nosed defense,

756
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: and Freeman's gonna have them coached up. So I feel

757
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: good about them. Just looking at at everything across the board,

758
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 3: I like them at five.

759
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: All right, number five for me as the Texas Longhorns,

760
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: I have maybe more questions than some. The schedule is

761
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: certainly tougher at Florida, at Georgia, and certainly at Ohio

762
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: State next week on Fox at noon. I just it's

763
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: hard for me to find enough losses for them not

764
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: to get in. I think they take a half a

765
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: step back. I have them at number five as the

766
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: third ranked SEC team. I'll give you my other two

767
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: in a minute, but that means that I have two

768
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: SEC teams in the top four. I'll tell you what,

769
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: just to keep the conversation moving, I have Georgia at

770
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: number four SEC runner up. Thing I like about this year,

771
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: remember last year at Texas, at Bama at Ole Miss.

772
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: This year you got all three of those teams at home.

773
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: Some tricky road games that you mentioned at Tennessee. We'll

774
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: see how they handle that. You know, Auburn is always

775
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: a tricky spot for visiting teams. But I like George

776
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: to get back to Atlanta play for an SEC championship.

777
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: And I got them at number four.

778
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I know what your other two are

779
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 3: gonna because I already named both of them, but I

780
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 3: you know what, I had it differently. I'm thinking about

781
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: switching one right now. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna do it.

782
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 8: Do it.

783
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: I am going to put I'm gonna put. No, I'm

784
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 3: not gonna I'm gonna keep it right am. I got

785
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 3: Ohio State at four, Like, yeah, you could lose to Illinois,

786
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 3: but really it's Texas, Penn State at Michigan just because

787
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 3: it's Michigan and it's Ryan Day, so you throw them

788
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 3: out there. I'm not sure what Michigan is going to

789
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 3: be this year quite frankly, but I give them kind

790
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: of a three and a half on the scale of

791
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 3: you're kind of a little worried about certain games there.

792
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be good. I want to see again,

793
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: you know what they're gonna do without Howard, They're how

794
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: they're gonna run, how they're going to kind of manage everything,

795
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: and of course Jeremiah Smith's gonna have the whole world

796
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: on him all season long. I think he's gonna be fine.

797
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: But I think four is about right for them.

798
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: All right, since we're getting a little short on time here,

799
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you three and two. Three Clemson Tigers ACC Champs.

800
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. I think they win next week. I think

801
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: they finish maybe eleven to one, maybe ten and two.

802
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: I think they comfortably get into the College Football Playoff.

803
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: I think they're really good. And then Ohio State at

804
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: number two. I'm a little down again on the talent.

805
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: But to your point about the schedule, it's just hard

806
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: to find losses. The Texas loss, if they were to

807
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: lose to Texas won't matter. They get Penn State at home,

808
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: no Oregon. So I have Ohio State at number two,

809
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: and I'll just tell you what I'll finish it off.

810
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: I have Bam at number one as the number one seed.

811
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: Now caveat being that I don't necessarily think they're gonna

812
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: be the best during the regular season.

813
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: They have to go to Georgia. I think they could

814
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: lose there.

815
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: But if they get Georgia in the SEC championship game,

816
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: I like them to win on a neutral field. So

817
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: I have Bama one, Ohio State two, Clemson three, Georgia four.

818
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: Jam Martin, I know I left you very little time,

819
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: but give us your top three.

820
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 3: All right, Texas at three, we already kind of discussed it,

821
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: but they have a really tough schedule. I had them

822
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 3: hire at first. I got Clemson at two, LSU and

823
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: out South Carolina or the only two that I really

824
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 3: mentioned for them. I think they may be undefeated, quite frankly,

825
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: but you know what that means. James Franklin at number one, Baby,

826
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 3: there you go. I'm just looking at that schedule. I'm

827
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 3: setting him up to fail, quite frankly. But I look

828
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 3: at him, and I look at that talent, and I'm like,

829
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 3: you should be number one, Bro.

830
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 2: Should be number one. Well, I'll tell you what. We'll

831
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: come back.

832
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: When we do, we'll actually make our national championship picks.

833
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: And we'll also, by the way, get into a lot

834
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: of NFL Michael Parsons, Ben Johnson our AFC North picks.

835
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: That's all. Next, Foxport Tritier.

836
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: Come in everybody hour two towards the Martin Fox Sports Radio.

837
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: We are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios

838
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: take me up till two am Eastern time. Our buddy

839
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: Bernie Fratto up. The Bernie Fratto Show follows us No,

840
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: Bernie's got all sorts of good takes and lead up

841
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: to college football in the NFL. I'll tell you what, jamrt.

842
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: We're supposed to fit all this in in the last hour,

843
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: but we bled a little bit over. In about five minutes,

844
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: we'll get to the latest with Micah Parsons as Jerry Jones.

845
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: We're an interview, interesting interview over the last couple of days.

846
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: We'll do that in just a few minutes. I'll tell

847
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: you what what. We just wrapped our college football conversation

848
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: with our twelve team college football playoff. Well, we won't

849
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: go through the whole bracket, but give me your national champion.

850
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: Who do you like to win it all? Who do

851
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: you like to see? Who do you have them beating

852
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: to win it all as well?

853
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 3: Yeah? See, I don't feel good yet about that. That's

854
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 3: sort of the problem. Like I have Penn State as

855
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: my number one seed, but I don't think they're going

856
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 3: to win the championship. I just I'm looking at them

857
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 3: from a regular season standpoint. I think the James Franklin

858
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 3: of it all is eventually going to be a thing

859
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: has to do for them. I just don't know if

860
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna be there or not. Last year I went

861
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: with Texas, and this year I kind of feel the

862
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 3: same way. Obviously, there's figuring out exactly how arch Manning

863
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: is going to do and whether or not Sarkisian can

864
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 3: finally get over that hump and finish the thing. But

865
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 3: I look at Ohio State, there's some question marks there. Georgia.

866
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 3: I just don't feel as good about Alabama. I'm just

867
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 3: not sure about the boor at that job. Not that

868
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 3: him as a coach, but just the pressure cooker involved there.

869
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that that is going to manifest properly.

870
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: Clemson I think is really good, really good, But here's

871
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 3: the problem. I don't think they're going to be battle

872
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 3: tested enough to be able to get through this thing

873
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 3: in the toughest moments. Notre Dame I really like, I'll

874
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 3: tell you what, I'm gonna take Texas over Notre Dame. Oh.

875
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 8: I like that.

876
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 3: That's gonna be my That's gonna be my national champion.

877
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: We were a potential strip score away from that being

878
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: the national championship game last year, if you remember, because

879
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: that's right, Texas was driving strip score. Ohio State seals

880
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: the victory. So J Mart has Texas over Notre Dame.

881
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: How about this.

882
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: I don't have Penn State and I don't have either

883
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: of those teams in my championship. So and by the way,

884
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about this either. I will pick

885
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: Clemson to win the National Championship over BA. You did

886
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: get there, okay, all right, yeah, I mean I just think,

887
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,479
Speaker 1: to my my biggest concern about Clemson is two things.

888
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: One the battle tested thing that you mentioned, and I

889
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: think the other thing too is depth. Now, depth is

890
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: an issue for everybody, but we know the narrative with Clemson,

891
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: right is that they just have not through the years.

892
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: You know, they don't they don't recruit the portal. Now,

893
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: this year they did bring in about two or three guys,

894
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: four guys maybe I don't know, but they brought in some,

895
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: but certainly not the fifteen to twenty that basically everybody

896
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: else is taking at this point. And so it's just

897
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: are you going to have the bodies to survive three,

898
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: potentially four high leverage playoff games. So that's what concerns me,

899
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: but I think Club Nick's the truth. I think they're

900
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: going to get the first round by which helps I.

901
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: You know, I've said it a couple of times. I

902
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: think they're beating ls by the way. Worth noting you

903
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: and I neither of us had LSU in the college

904
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: football playoffs.

905
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 3: So I wonder I felt like you were kind of

906
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: on the same page with me on that. That's why

907
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: I said I thought it would be A and M

908
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 3: if anybody else for you, Like, I know a lot

909
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: of people have LSU at like five, yeah, and all

910
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 3: this kind of stuff, I just don't buy. Garrett Nusmeyer,

911
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 3: I agree, and I'm just not sure I buy the

912
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 3: same way I don't buy. I'm not sure how I

913
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 3: feel about Kaywin de Boor in this role. I just

914
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 3: don't think Brian Kelly at LSU has worked, and I

915
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 3: don't think that that's all of a sudden gonna magically

916
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 3: change this season. I think they're gonna underperform, and I

917
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 3: honestly think this might be his last season there.

918
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: So it's actually really interesting you said that, and I

919
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: wasn't even planning on getting into this.

920
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 2: Two things.

921
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: One I agree with you, and it's funny, right, because

922
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: remember when he got the job and there were people

923
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: that were like, uh, you know, does he make sense

924
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: culturally there? And then there was like the counter of like,

925
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: if you're a good enough coach, doesn't matter where you

926
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: come from, and it's like, no, it it is a

927
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: little bit of a weird fit. And I'll tell you this, dude,

928
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if you've watched any of that

929
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: SEC documentary on Netflix, but LSU is like weirdly prominently

930
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: featured in it. And I just bring it up because

931
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: the vibes just feel weird where it's just you know,

932
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: he's like this is Brian Kelly I'm talking about. He's

933
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: like one of the last, Like he's just kind of

934
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: always on everybody's behind, and you know, like like I

935
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: don't I don't get the sense that it would be

936
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: very fun to play for him, let me put it

937
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: that way. And I've always been a defender, and I

938
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: think one you could get away with it in the

939
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: old days because guys couldn't transfer whatever.

940
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 2: And then I think even at Notre Dame, you know

941
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: it's Notre dame.

942
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: If you commit to Notre Dame, no disrespect to LSU,

943
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna stay at Notre Dame even if you

944
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: don't like the coach, because you know the value of

945
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: getting that that Notre Dame degree. So I just bring

946
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: it up because the vibes are weird. And I was

947
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: watching that thinking, like, if he goes eight and four

948
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: this year, like I do wonder if he just says,

949
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not built for this era. I

950
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: tried the sec You know, we don't know how much

951
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: anyone spends on anio these days, but like they clearly

952
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money, a lot of guys in

953
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: the portal, and so I'm I don't trust them. The

954
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: schedule is tougher than people realize at Clemson, you know,

955
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: at Bama among other games, and I just, yeah, I

956
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: just don't buy them. So anyway, neither of us have LSU.

957
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: I have Clemson winning it all. I have them beating Bama.

958
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: I'll say this, j Mart, you know we're a one.

959
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: We'll find out. To your point about Kaylin de Boor

960
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: this year, I do think though Ryan Grubb being with him,

961
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: I do think is a big deal. Now listen, sure, yeah,

962
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback is limited, but listen, a couple of things.

963
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 2: One Jaylen Milroe.

964
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: I just I don't think he was built to be

965
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback or to be successful in that offense. Germany,

966
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: he was as good as you could expect, but we

967
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: all watch the games. We know what his limitations are,

968
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: and so ty Simpson, even if he's not quite as

969
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: naturally gifted. I do just think that it's maybe a

970
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: better fit for what they want to do. And then

971
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,919
Speaker 1: I think adding Ryan Grubb, who's ben Calen de Boor's

972
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: right hand man, I think will be a difference. But

973
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, they're not a perfect team. Nobody is a

974
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: perfect team in college football. So I have Clemson over

975
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: Alabama in the National Championship Game.

976
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, well look, I mean I don't think that that's

977
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: off the beaten path at all. Like I said, I

978
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 3: almost got Clemson there myself, and I agree with you

979
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 3: a million percent on Clubnik and just kind of their pathway.

980
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 3: And again, the thing that just worries me is just

981
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 3: I feel like they're going to be They're just gonna

982
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: cake walk through their schedule for the most part. South

983
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: Carolina is the one that I really look at because

984
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: I do think they're gonna win in Week one, So

985
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 3: I just I couldn't quite get there. But I like

986
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 3: your pick, I do you. I don't know, I might

987
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 3: even like it more than mine, but I'm sticking with

988
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 3: mine again though, By the way, and Jim, I also

989
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 3: saw this, By the way, I saw the odds for

990
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 3: coaches to be fired in college football, James Franklin's like

991
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 3: sixty to one. He's like fiftieth on the list. What

992
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 3: does he have to do? Like, let's say this year

993
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 3: doesn't go well right, Let's say they lose three four

994
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 3: games somehow or things just fiddle fizzle out, and he's

995
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: at least partially to blame for some decisions and all

996
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 3: this kind of stuff, like is he just going to

997
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 3: continue to be back? Like are they going to be

998
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 3: better in years future than they are this year? When

999
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 3: you look at their pathway and when you look at

1000
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: who they brought back and what the kind of the

1001
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 3: prospects are for those gentlemen going forward, Like I just

1002
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 3: I was baffled by that, Like he's lower than guys

1003
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: that I don't think are even close in terms of

1004
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 3: dudes that can lose their job. Maybe he's just safe

1005
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 3: as all get out and we all just need to

1006
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 3: stay quiet about it. But I'm just kind of baffled

1007
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 3: that Penn State, at least that the feeling is Penn

1008
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 3: State's just going to continue to deal with this forever,

1009
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: even though it's kind of been the same result over

1010
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 3: and over again. Now if they get close, they get

1011
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 3: near a national championship, obviously, yeah, Okay, I get it.

1012
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 3: And last year he may have helped himself out a

1013
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 3: little bit. But at the same time, like he's somebody

1014
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 3: that almost nobody trusts and he's like sixty to one

1015
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 3: to lose his job. Like, I feel like those are

1016
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: those are kind of I would take those odds. How

1017
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 3: about that?

1018
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 2: Well, And I'll tell you this too. Is a couple

1019
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 2: of things. One, it's funny.

1020
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: I have a really good friend who's a Penn State fan,

1021
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: and I actually give him credit. I think that I

1022
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: think that the Penn State fan base to some degree

1023
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: has been more patient than like the national discourse around them.

1024
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: And I think even in the fourteen playoff ear they understood, Okay,

1025
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, Michigan's kind of on an all time run,

1026
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: Ohio State whatever, and you know I talked to him

1027
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: this time last year. Hey, we just got to get

1028
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: into that twelve team playoff you know, if we anything after,

1029
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: that's gravy. I talked to him a few weeks ago.

1030
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: I texted him whatever, and he said, it's nut of

1031
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: your bust.

1032
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,760
Speaker 2: It's that simple. And this is a guy that's been patient.

1033
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: He's not on the message boards fire James Franklin every

1034
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: time they lose the game, every time they lose a game,

1035
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: and he was like, it's naut of your bust. He's like,

1036
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: we have to beat Oregon at home. You know, Ohio

1037
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: State's a coin toss because it's on the road. We

1038
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: have to get back to Indianapolis and we have to

1039
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: make a real run in the College Football Playoff. And

1040
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: no disrespect, but last year you made a run, but

1041
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: it was you beat SMU at home, and you beat

1042
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: Boise Stated on a neutral and you lost to Notre Dame,

1043
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: And so I bring that up, and I do think

1044
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: to your point, Oh, you know, you didn't mentioned this part. Like,

1045
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: let's talk about Ryan Day for a second, because I

1046
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: think it's easy now to just dismiss everything that was

1047
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: being discussed between the end of the Michigan game and

1048
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: the end of the Tennessee game. But like he was

1049
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: kind of in the same boat last year, and I

1050
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: know no one will acknowledge it now, but if they

1051
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: had lost that Tennessee game at home in the College

1052
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: Football Playoff, I don't think there's a one hundred percent

1053
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: chance that Ryan Day is the head football coach at

1054
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State right now. And so I just bring it

1055
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: up because it's kind of the same with Penn State.

1056
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: Is that, you know, my vibe on them is, you know,

1057
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: you don't know how the playoff is gonna break, you

1058
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: don't know how the bracket's gonna break. But it's like,

1059
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: you have to beat somebody meaningful in the regular season.

1060
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: You can't just beat a bunch of lousy teams, and

1061
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: you have to beat real teams in the College Football Playoff.

1062
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: You don't win a championship because you'll lose on a

1063
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: one score possession to Alabama. Okay, but to your point,

1064
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: if it's just another season where they beat all the

1065
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: bad teams and have no significant wins of note, could

1066
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 1: I could see that fan base getting to Ohio State

1067
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: after the Michigan game last year levels of frustration with

1068
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: James Franklin put it in.

1069
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean, I just think the way college

1070
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: football is trending now, it just feels like you're gonna

1071
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 3: have short releases with coaches because you're spending so much

1072
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 3: money on teams because you are buying players, and because

1073
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 3: everything has shifted in terms of transfer and all this,

1074
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 3: like everything has to be going well or you're potentially

1075
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 3: going to be out of the mix for guys that

1076
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 3: you want and you know guys are going to be

1077
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 3: transferring out and all this kind of stuff, like, yeah,

1078
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 3: there's gonna be potentially with playoff expansion and all this

1079
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 3: easier ways maybe to you know, show your worth or

1080
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 3: to say, you know, I've made this thing happen. I've

1081
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 3: made my way into the playoffs now, and maybe that's

1082
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 3: a little bit more job security or it's incentive, it's

1083
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 3: bonus money or whatever like that. But like, I just

1084
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 3: don't feel like you're going to have as long a

1085
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 3: leash as a coach because I feel like you have

1086
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 3: to win a lot faster now in order to maintain

1087
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 3: the momentum that you're collective and your university now directly

1088
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 3: is kind of putting out there if you're paying a

1089
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 3: bunch of money for guys and they're producing to some degree,

1090
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 3: but not to the extent like who is it going

1091
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 3: to fall on It's going to fall on the guys.

1092
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 3: Who's going to fall on the coach. I feel like,

1093
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 3: at least first first time, I think a lot of

1094
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 3: these bigger name coaches are going to finally like feel

1095
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 3: the brunt of that in a way they have in

1096
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 3: the past.

1097
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: Well, and it goes back to the Ryan Day part

1098
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: of last year is that you know, we all knew.

1099
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the school was public about we paid twenty

1100
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: million dollars for this roster, and so I do think

1101
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: there's something there as well of the idea of you're

1102
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: paying a lot of money. And I think that's the

1103
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: other thing too, is I know we're going towards this

1104
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: this quote unquote revshare era where the school is going

1105
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: to be able to pay directly players, but listen, you're

1106
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: still going to need booster help. And the one thing

1107
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: I will say Penn State very clearly went all in

1108
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: on this roster. You know, a bunch of guys that

1109
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: could have gone pro Drew Aller, Nick Singleton, whoever, that

1110
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: all came back. They added a bunch of guys in

1111
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: the portal two or three top receivers on this year's

1112
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: roster are are portal guys. So that's the other thing too,

1113
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: is that one boosters are paying more money, and two

1114
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: they might just stop.

1115
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: Giving you money if if you if you don't perform.

1116
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: So I listen.

1117
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you would actually get fired, but

1118
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: I'll just say this. I think if you again get

1119
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: in as the seventh seed, as an even an eleven

1120
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: and one or an eleven and two, you losing the

1121
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: conference champion or you losing the conference championship game, and

1122
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: then again you're the seventh seed, you're hosting you know,

1123
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: some SEC team.

1124
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 2: And you lose. I think it's a conversation. Let me

1125
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 2: just put it to you that way.

1126
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: Is I just I don't think it's out of the

1127
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: realm of possibility, because again, all you have to do

1128
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: is go back to Ryan Day last year and you

1129
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: can see, like everyone can say all this stuff about

1130
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: it's a new world and you're paying so much for

1131
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: the players. It's like, there are you know, baseline expectations.

1132
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: If you're not meeting them, people will move on to

1133
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: the next thing. So all right, well we definitely didn't

1134
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: do Micael Parsons. That's okay, we'll save it for the

1135
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: top of next hour. But when we come back, we'll

1136
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: get more picks because we just gave our college football

1137
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 1: playoff pick every single week round this time. We have

1138
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: been doing division by division picks in the NFL. We're

1139
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: gonna knock out to today because Ja Marten isn't around.

1140
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: Next week, we'll do our AFC North, our AFC out

1141
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: predictions and picks next.

1158
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: our college football playoff picks a minute ago, but this

1159
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: time every week we have been giving our division by

1160
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: division NFL over under win total picks. We have done

1161
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: so far the entire NFC. Last week we started the

1162
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: AFC with the AFC East. J Mar's gonna be out

1163
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: next week, so we're gonna knock out too. We'll be

1164
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: a little quicker today. We're gonna start with the AFC North.

1165
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: Certainly very interesting. Mary, give us some music. Brandon, who

1166
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: is the first team we are talking about? Alrighty, I

1167
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: think you guys will figure out who the first team is.

1168
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: They may have Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry on their team.

1169
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: Eleven and a half, So Aaron will start with you

1170
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: over under it's pretty high. Over under it is eleven

1171
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: and a half means they have to go twelve and five.

1172
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 3: I'm a believer.

1173
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert. You know I'll save it.

1174
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: But but I bring no, no, no, because we're doing

1175
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, in the Fox Sports radio studios here we

1176
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: have our our Super Bowl picks and everything like that.

1177
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: And let's just say I, you know, I believe in

1178
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: the Ravens two degree. Obviously, that intriguing game to open

1179
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: at Buffalo. But you know, it's a tough schedule. I

1180
00:56:58,320 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: like the over, though eleven and a half means they

1181
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:02,399
Speaker 1: go twelve and five. I believe that they get there.

1182
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: I think there's four very winnable games in the division.

1183
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: You know a couple other easy spots on the schedule, Dolphins, Patriots,

1184
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: et cetera. Go ahead, give me the Ravens to go

1185
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,240
Speaker 1: over eleven and a half.

1186
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 3: At Bills, Lions, at Chiefs, Texans, and Rams. I'm not

1187
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 3: as sure about at Vikings. That's kind of a tricky one.

1188
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 3: Of course, your division, you're playing the Stewards twice, You're

1189
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 3: playing the Bengals twice as well. I like it as well.

1190
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 3: I think they will be over even though the schedule

1191
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 3: is tough. I think that they're built for it, obviously,

1192
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 3: Lamar Derrick Henry, what they're able to do. I think

1193
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 3: the receiving corps has improved for them as well. So,

1194
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 3: barring injury, I think it's an easy over all.

1195
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 2: Right, Brandon, who's next?

1196
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, So next up is the Bengals. I know people

1197
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 9: question their defense, but nine and a half, je Mart

1198
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 9: this time will start with you.

1199
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 3: Man Burrow is really good. That offense is absolutely loaded.

1200
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 3: Were they last year? They were nine and eight last year,

1201
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 3: you said that it's nine this year. Yeah, okay, all right.

1202
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 3: I think the defense is trash. I'm gonna say under.

1203
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 3: I just I just don't like that defense. I don't

1204
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 3: like what I don't like what I've heard from them

1205
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 3: during the offseason. I think Burrow might have an all

1206
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 3: world season and it's not gonna matter. I just there's

1207
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 3: something wrong there, and I don't think that they've handled

1208
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 3: things with Hendrickson particularly well. I just don't feel good

1209
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: about that side of the ball. If you can't stop people,

1210
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a lot of trouble in the NFL.

1211
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 3: So I'm going under. I think they're gonna I think

1212
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: they're either gonna duplicate the nine and eight or be

1213
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 3: even worse than that.

1214
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: So I was ready to go over with the logic

1215
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: of you know, listen, a lot of slow starts last

1216
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: year started zero and three, whatever.

1217
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,919
Speaker 2: But I'm looking at who they actually beat last year.

1218
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: Beat Cleveland twice, beat Tennessee, beat Dallas after dak got hurt,

1219
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: beat Pittsburgh late in the year when they you know,

1220
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,439
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson was kind of washed at that point.

1221
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean he's been washed.

1222
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: I think I said they beat the Carolina Panthers in

1223
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: New York chives, they really beat basically no one of

1224
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: subst Let me see real quick. I know we're a

1225
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: little short on time here, but just think about these teams,

1226
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: J Mart. Carolina team that picked in the top ten,

1227
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: New York picked in the top ten, Cleveland obviously picked

1228
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Las Vegas they beat them, picked

1229
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,439
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Dallas they had a top ten pick.

1230
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: I believe they took Tyler Booker. The point I'm trying

1231
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: to make Tennessee they beat I guess they beat Denver

1232
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: late in the year, but essentially no one of substance.

1233
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm with you.

1234
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: I was ready to say, well, maybe they start a

1235
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: little bit faster, they can find two more wins on

1236
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: the schedule.

1237
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 2: I don't see it. I'll go under as well.

1238
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1239
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 9: Next up is the Steelers eight and a half. And

1240
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 9: remember when was the last time Tomlin had a who

1241
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 9: losing season. I mean it's been close to fifteen years, right,

1242
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 9: has he ever?

1243
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 8: Well?

1244
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 2: J Mart, you've been hot on this. You go ahead,

1245
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 2: go first under.

1246
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 3: I think they might be one in three to open

1247
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 3: the season. I think they'll beat the Jets, but then

1248
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 3: they play Seattle, at New England and Minnesota. I don't

1249
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 3: like that. I really don't like that at all. As

1250
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, maybe they're gonna be two and two,

1251
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 3: maybe they're gonna surprise me. But they also have a

1252
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 3: stretch where they have the Bills, the Ravens, and the

1253
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 3: Lions three out of four games in a row. That's

1254
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 3: not gonna be particularly easy. They've got Green Bay on

1255
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 3: the schedule as well. They're gonna play Cincinnati twice, so

1256
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to deal with Joe Burrow. You've got

1257
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 3: to play Baltimore again to end the season. I just

1258
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 3: don't like it, man. I don't like Aaron Rodgers there.

1259
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 3: I don't like the situation there. I don't think that

1260
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf is going to change much for them. I

1261
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 3: don't think that their ground game is gonna be particularly good.

1262
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 3: I don't even like what I've heard from from Hayward

1263
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 3: in the offseason. I just think this is gonna be

1264
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 3: a bad one. Man. I think they are a seven

1265
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 3: win football team this year.

1266
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: I'll be quick.

1267
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: I've said this a few times. I haven't found any

1268
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: of the Aaron Rodgers talk to be compelling this offseason

1269
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: because I just think at forty plus years old, we

1270
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: know what he is. And I was a guy, as

1271
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, Jamrt, I was, you know, trying to talk

1272
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 1: myself into the Jets last year. I just think he's old.

1273
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: The the you know, the the offenses, you know that

1274
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: the setup is weird there. I know Toman always is

1275
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: able to pull a few out of his you know what,

1276
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: but I just I don't see it. I really don't.

1277
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: I'll go under as well, all right in the last

1278
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: team Browns four and a half over under? Was that

1279
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: the over under on Shudre Sacks today or oh no, no,

1280
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: no soon?

1281
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 9: I believe that's by the way, guys, I think that's

1282
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 9: the lowest dower over under in the league. I don't

1283
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 9: think anybody's even tied with them. Four and a half

1284
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 9: is the because of the Saints, I believe are six

1285
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 9: and a half. So Aaron, go first, what are your

1286
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 9: thoughts on Cleveland? I mean, I'll go over four and

1287
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:46,919
Speaker 9: a half. Joe Flacco was won, yeah they won three

1288
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 9: last year, but you know, Deshaun Watson was quarterback last year.

1289
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 9: I was gonna say, like, listen, I actually flipped on

1290
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 9: that that game was obviously Brandon would know our local game.

1291
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco actually did play today. You forget like he

1292
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: is a competent quarterback. Now he's not gonna make it

1293
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: through eighteen games. Seventeen games.

1294
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I get it.

1295
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: But I think Joe Flacco is competent and they have

1296
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: good players on that team. They just don't have a

1297
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: quarterback that can compete with Lamar Jackson Joe Burrow. Whatever

1298
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: I do like over the four and a half, I

1299
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 1: actually like it quite a bit. I think they're bad.

1300
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I still think they finished last

1301
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: in this division. But I mean five and twelve does

1302
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: not seem like a high barrier to to get over.

1303
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 3: So listen to this. I believe that they are going

1304
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 3: to start the season zero to six, Bengals at Ray

1305
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 3: and his Tackers at Lions, Vikings at Steelers. I don't

1306
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 3: think they're gonna win a single one of those games.

1307
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 3: I think should or Senators. I'm curious. I'm more interested

1308
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 3: to see win and if he gets his real opportunity

1309
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: to start for the team. Nothing against Flacco other than

1310
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 3: I mean he's old and there's nothing dynamic about him

1311
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 3: at this point, he'll hold down the fort a little bit.

1312
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 3: I just the schedule is tough. You've got eight trillion quarterbacks.

1313
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 3: You got the GM out here saying I want to

1314
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 3: keep four of these guys on the roster. All of

1315
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 3: this stuff is happening. I don't like anything surrounding this team.

1316
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 3: I think the schedule is pretty dagone tough as well.

1317
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 3: Four and a half. I think it's under surprisingly enough,

1318
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 3: I think there are three unders in the AFC North.

1319
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 3: Based on those numbers, I think Baltimore will be over

1320
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 3: and everybody else is just not gonna have a good year.

1321
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 2: All right.

1322
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: So jmr and I both went over on Baltimore. We

1323
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: both went under on the Bengals, we both went what

1324
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: under on the Steelers, and of course I went over

1325
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: on the Browns. I'm a believer, not really, but J

1326
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Mark goes under the four and a half. We'll come back.

1327
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna hold our nose and we're gonna preview the

1328
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: AFC South.

1329
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,479
Speaker 2: That's next. But first, no to SAG. You're taken away,

1330
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 2: my friend.

1331
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 7: No offense taken.

1332
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1333
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,959
Speaker 7: Meanwhile, the NFL exhibition season is speaking, holding your nose

1334
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 7: just about over about eight minutes to go in Arizona

1335
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 7: Cardinals leading the Raiders seventeen to ten. Three different quarterbacks

1336
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 7: used by Pete Carroll's Vegas team. The other late game

1337
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 7: as a final in the Bay Area, San Francisco over

1338
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,919
Speaker 7: the Chargers thirty to twenty three. This one had eight

1339
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 7: total punts just in the first quarter. That hadn't happened

1340
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 7: in a preseason game in a decade. Ap says the

1341
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 7: last time in a real NFL game there were eight

1342
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 7: punts in a first quarter was twenty seventeen. Eventually, dj

1343
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 7: Uie along Uyanglila the third string Charger quarterback, well four

1344
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 7: string really, but cuts are coming Tuesday.

1345
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.

1346
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 7: He threw a pick six with about six minutes to go.

1347
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 7: Did have a couple of touchdown passes in this game.

1348
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 7: There were a total of twenty three penalties in this

1349
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,680

Speaker 7: the Mets won nine to.

1382
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 2: Two at Atlanta.

1383
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 7: The Mets hit six home runs tonight, the Braves had

1384
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 7: only five hits, five for thirty one at the plate.

1385
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 7: Aaron Nola was one and seven for the Phillies, but

1386
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 7: went six innings and got the win in Philly tonight,

1387
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 7: six to four, the final over Washington, but phil star

1388
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 7: pitcher Zach Wheeler will miss six to eight months. He's

1389
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 7: two for a second shoulder surgery. Detroit won its fifth

1390
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 7: in a row, four to two over Kansas City. For Toronto,

1391
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 7: first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Junior was out again with hamstring inflammation.

1392
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 7: The Jays did win in twelve innings at Miami, seven

1393
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 7: to six, and the Yankees have lost eight straight to

1394
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 7: the Red Sox head to head, They were beaten twelve

1395
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 7: to one in New York today, the Red Sox got

1396
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 7: seven runs in the top of the ninth. Winning pitcher

1397
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 7: Garrett Crochet eleven strikeouts in his seven innings. He's fourteen

1398
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 7: and five.

1399
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve de Sager.

1400
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: As de Saga mentioned, he'll be back in just a

1401
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: few minutes with his extended update. Cannot wait to hear

1402
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: more from the Saga, especially about Week zero in college football.

1403
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Radio aer towards Jason Martin, broadcasting

1404
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Let's continue our

1405
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: preview the AFC South a conference all your mother could love.

1406
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Let's our division all your mother could love. Let's let's

1407
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: keep it going. Brandon, who's up for who's up first?

1408
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 8: In this?

1409
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 3: Uh?

1410
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 2: I think I know who?

1411
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 9: Well we I think we all know who's up first.

1412
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 9: It's about who's up second. But Texans nine and a half, Aaron,

1413
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 9: what are your thoughts there?

1414
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 2: Nine and a half? Yes, nine and a half.

1415
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: There's just so many winnable games in the division, because

1416
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean it is obviously a first play schedule open

1417
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: at the Rams at Baltimore. Ran de Deutch just San

1418
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. I gotta go over. I mean,

1419
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 1: there's just you know, it's hard to find seven losses

1420
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: on this schedule, even as you play some of the

1421
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: best teams in the AFC at Kansas City, Buffalo at home.

1422
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Go ahead and give me the over of nine and

1423
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: a half.

1424
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 3: Yep, I agree exactly the same reason. It's just I

1425
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 3: don't see enough losses. There's definitely some games that they

1426
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 3: are gonna lose. They may get close to that as

1427
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, but I just don't see a

1428
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 3: world where they're gonna blow enough games to fall under.

1429
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 3: Somebody's got to be over in the division, so I

1430
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 3: like them one.

1431
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 2: Next up, we have a tie.

1432
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 3: Guys.

1433
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 9: Oh, it's weird because I saw the Colts over under

1434
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 9: win total. It's actually seven and a half, which seems

1435
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 9: shockingly high on BETHAMGM.

1436
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: So j Mart, we'll start with you. What are your

1437
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 2: thoughts on seven and a half over under Colts?

1438
01:08:53,720 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 3: Who's a quarterback, Daniel Jones under? What more do you think?

1439
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 3: I mean, really, I'm like, seriously, I know we're gonna

1440
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 3: have more discussion about the Colts a little bit later,

1441
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 3: but I just why would I like the Colts this year? Like,

1442
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 3: there's nothing about that team. That's interesting at all. That

1443
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 3: was an eight win team last year, and I think

1444
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 3: they'll be worse.

1445
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny.

1446
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: I was telling a buddy yesterday they played Miami at

1447
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: home in Week one, and I could see them winning

1448
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: that game. There's always like a random result in week

1449
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: one that everyone's like, oh, you know, maybe we were

1450
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 1: all And it's like, I could see it Indie Indie

1451
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: beating Miami in Week one, maybe maybe relatively convincingly, and

1452
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: US and not us, but the narrative being, oh, you know,

1453
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: maybe Daniel Jones does justin. It is a change of scenery,

1454
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: and it's like and then they'll lose four straight after that.

1455
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 3: So I am with you.

1456
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 2: I'm going under.

1457
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think they'll probably win Week one

1458
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: and people will start to hey, is.

1459
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 2: This were we wrong about them? No, we weren't wrong.

1460
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Though they stink. Daniel Jones stinks. This team stinks. I

1461
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: cannot believe the numbers this high. I'm going under as well.

1462
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it takes a while sometimes to figure that out.

1463
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 9: The Saints last year were like three or four and

1464
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 9: oh and then they you know, went downhill from there

1465
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 9: two and oh maybe rather than they dominated the Cowboys.

1466
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 9: All right, let's go to the Jaguars, tied with the

1467
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 9: Colts seven and a half, Aaron over under.

1468
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 2: You know, I'll say this I was thinking about this,

1469
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 2: is that.

1470
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: If Trevor Lawrence, you know, can't really get it going

1471
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: with Liam Cohen, like second offensive head coach, obviously after

1472
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, you know, I would start to wonder if

1473
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 1: it's just never gonna happen. I mean, the stats were

1474
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: pretty underwhelming last year. Obviously, Travis Hunters a little bit

1475
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: of a help. What is the number again, Brandon.

1476
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 2: Seven and a half? They went four and thirteen last year. Good,

1477
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 2: that's gracious.

1478
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: I'll go I'll go a slight over at eight and nine,

1479
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: maybe nine and eight. I don't think they're significantly better

1480
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: than that, but I'll say they're a little bit better

1481
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: offensive head coach coming in. I know Doug Pearson was

1482
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 1: as well, but Liam Cohen young mind, Travis Hunter new weapon.

1483
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 2: I'll say slightly over at eight and nine.

1484
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 3: Sure, man, I'm looking at the schedule. I'm just like,

1485
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 3: where are the nine wins coming from?

1486
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 2: You gotta get a problem, right, it's seven and a half,

1487
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 2: seven and a half.

1488
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh okay, Well even where they eight wins coming from. Yeah,

1489
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 3: And I don't know about Liam Cohen. I have no idea.

1490
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm very the ceiling on Trevor Lawrence is dropping by

1491
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 3: the by the week. Just in my own brain, can

1492
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 3: I get to over. I'm gonna go against you. I'm

1493
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 3: gonna say under. I just I don't know why I

1494
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 3: should feel that much better. I agree with you on Hunter.

1495
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be really fun to watch. I

1496
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 3: just don't know that Jacksonville is gonna be a place

1497
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 3: that's really gonna be able to feature him in terms

1498
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 3: of a playoff run or anything like that. So I

1499
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 3: just it's year one for Liam Cohen. I just I

1500
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 3: don't like the new coach situation that he's walked into there.

1501
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 3: So I'm under.

1502
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 9: And they all play the NFC West, by the way,

1503
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 9: so that's a tough division to play. Titans last five

1504
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 9: and a half, J Martin, you go first.

1505
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they were obviously atrocious last year in every way.

1506
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say over, not because I think they're gonna

1507
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 3: be that much better. I just think they've got an

1508
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:29,680
Speaker 3: actual quarterback now and that can actually carry them a

1509
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 3: little bit. There's not gonna be a lot of film

1510
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,640
Speaker 3: on cam Ward this season, so this might be the

1511
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 3: best year for him, at least if it's not gonna

1512
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,640
Speaker 3: go well, this will be the year. It's still a

1513
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 3: weak division. I look at the rest of their schedule.

1514
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that great. It's not a huge

1515
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 3: win total for me. So you go over Jacksonville. I'll

1516
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 3: go over Tennessee really.

1517
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:50,919
Speaker 1: Quick, j Mark, because this is right in your wheelhouse.

1518
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 1: You live in Tennessee, you're a Broncos fan. Week one,

1519
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee at Denver. Could you see the cam.

1520
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 2: Ward not a lot of film? Three passing touchdowns, one

1521
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 2: rushing touchdown in the upset. Could you see that happening?

1522
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 3: No, just because I don't think Sean Payton's the kind

1523
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 3: of coach that's going to allow that. And it's a

1524
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 3: tough place to go play in Week one. But your

1525
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,600
Speaker 3: question's not off base, like it's definitely it's definitely a

1526
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 3: trouble spot. It's the kind of game that Denver could

1527
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 3: sleep on and lose.

1528
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 2: All right, I will go. I'll go.

1529
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: What'd you say, five and a half? Five and a half, Yes,

1530
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: I'll go. I'm feeling very generous today. I went over

1531
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: on Jacksonville over on Cleveland. I'll go over on Denver's

1532

1534
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:42,000

1535
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,599

1536

Speaker 1: woke up at four point thirty, and I need to

1537
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,320

1538
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,439

1539
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: a locker room. And so I will go slightly over.

1608
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 7: apiece preseason college football poll, barely ahead of number two

1609
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,759
Speaker 7: Penn State. Out of the sixty five first place votes,

1610
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,560
Speaker 7: Texas received twenty five. Penn State got twenty three in

1611
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 7: the coaches poll. By the way, Texas and Ohio State

1612
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 7: are one to two again. Texas opens at Ohio State

1613
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 7: big noon kickoff noon Eastern on Fox. Ohio State in

1614
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 7: AP is number three. Texas amazingly had never started the

1615
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 7: year's crazy to have in the AP poll. They started

1616
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 7: the number two five times, and here they are starting

1617
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 7: at number one and they are not favored.

1618
01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 2: That is weird.

1619
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's also the first time on

1620
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: the road a number one team in the country has

1621
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: opened as an underdog. I could be wrong that I

1622
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 1: saw some weird stat about that as well, which is.

1623
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 7: To intend to believe that because usually your opener isn't this, No,

1624
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 7: not going to Ohio State.

1625
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 2: And even if it's a good team, it's not Ohio State.

1626
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1627
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 7: Maybe back to as far as results, I can remember

1628
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 7: a Florida State's Miami opener many years ago where there

1629
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 7: were probably top five each and there might have been

1630
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 7: a loss by a number one. But these Buckeys are

1631
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 7: preseason top five for the ninth straight year. And by

1632
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 7: the way, all twelve teams from last year's playoff are

1633
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 7: ranked in this year's AP preseason Top twenty five, including

1634
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 7: number sixteen SMU, which is preseason ranked for the first

1635
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 7: time in forty years. AP's preseason All Americans include three

1636
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 7: players from Texas, three from Penn State, including running back

1637
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 7: Nicholas Singleton. The first team quarterback is Clemson's kid Club Nicks,

1638
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 7: So say it already out loud. Heisman candidate for this year.

1639
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 7: Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love also a first teamer

1640
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 7: on the All American squad, as is Ohio state wide

1641
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 7: receiver Jeremiah Smith. And you were talking about Steelers. They

1642
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 7: had their exhibition finale on Thursday night. It was quarterback

1643
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers did not play again. Mason Rudolph started, had

1644
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 7: one interception. They won at Carolina, which finished zher to

1645
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 7: three in the preseason. The backup QB for the Panthers,

1646
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 7: Andy Dalton, did not play due to a strained elbow.

1647
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 7: Bryce Perkins, the UFL MVP, played the second half of

1648
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 7: that one. Giants over the New England Patriots on Thursday night.

1649
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 7: Tommy DeVito three touchdown passes second half. Rookie Jackson Dart

1650
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 7: looked good again at early touchdown path.

1685
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 3: been a mid season break. We've been out for like

1686
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 3: two three Yeah, I have become one.

1687
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 2: Yes, Well that's why I'm asking what what is the

1688
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:27,839
Speaker 2: big mid season?

1689
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 3: Like, well, they take a break for about three weeks,

1690
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 3: kind of reset, and then come back for the second

1691
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 3: half of the season. There's just a man, there's a

1692
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 3: lot going on. It's it's a heck of a lot

1693
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 3: of fun. And there's actually a battle right now for

1694
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 3: who's gonna win driver Championship this year between two guys

1695
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 3: on the exact same team, and like they're friends, but

1696
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 3: you can see this rivalry and like they're kind of

1697
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 3: getting more aggressive towards one another and the team is

1698
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 3: trying to kind of keep it together, and it's it's

1699
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,839
Speaker 3: it's a fun deal. Like the fact that college football

1700
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 3: is coming back to the exact same tome as f one,

1701
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 3: It's gonna be good times for me.

1702
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of I feel like there's a

1703
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: sports exit, like a football or basketball example of that

1704
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: that I'm blanking on, where like frenemies that are really

1705
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: starting to turn the roundles, I don't know. I thought

1706
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: I had one off the top of my head, but

1707
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: I can't think what I feel like there's one right

1708
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 1: on the tip of my tongue that I can't quite

1709
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: put together.

1710
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 2: So all right, I know who definitely aren't front of

1711
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 2: me is right now?

1712
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good SiGe.

1713
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Michael Parsons. Okay, so listen, this thing

1714
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 1: has been weird.

1715
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 3: We know what the deal is.

1716
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: We know that Michael Parsons wants a new contract. We

1717
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: know that Jerry Jones basically insinuates that a deal was done.

1718
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: We know that the agent got involved. We know Jerry

1719
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: doesn't want the agent involved.

1720
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 8: We know that.

1721
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Frankly, let's be honest, it's twenty twenty five and agents

1722
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: get involved in this stuff, and so.

1723
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 3: And you got Schotenheimer involved now too. Commenting on what

1724
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons did in the final preseason game on Friday, nights,

1725
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 3: so there's that also sitting out there.

1726
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: It is definitely a very interesting time in Dallas. And

1727
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: it's interesting because because when I was traveling this week,

1728
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, you wake up on a Friday morning and

1729
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: you just see that there is an interview.

1730
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 2: That's taken over and listen. I know we kind of

1731
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 2: joke about Stephen A.

1732
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,719
Speaker 1: Smith sometimes, but he's a very prominent voice in our industry,

1733
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: maybe the most prominent voice, and that's not a bad thing.

1734
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: He got to sit down with Jerry and there was

1735
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: a lot that came out of it. But I think

1736
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: probably the most noteworthy quote that caught everybody's attention was

1737
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: this Mary Mack play the sound.

1738
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 8: We wanted to send the details to the agent. The

1739
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 8: agent soldier asked, well, we've got this the resolved in

1740
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 8: my mind for the Dallas Cowboys.

1741
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 3: Not doing the old mother dad deal.

1742
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,800
Speaker 8: How many times have you seen the little rascal so

1743
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,560
Speaker 8: clever go in there and Mama told him you're not

1744
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 8: going to get it, and goes into Daddy, who only

1745
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 8: sees him that after five and afternoon wants to love

1746
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 8: him and says, you can have it, son, you can

1747
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,679
Speaker 8: have that before dinner. And he goes back in and says,

1748
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 8: Mam and Daddy said, I can have it. That's mom

1749
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 8: and Dad had been around since the beginning the time.

1750
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go for that year. That's what's happening.

1751
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 3: What in the world.

1752
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: Very contentious from Jerry Jones. I have a thought, but

1753
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,560
Speaker 1: I'll give you the floor first. J mart on what

1754
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: has certainly become an interesting topic here over the last

1755
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: couple of days.

1756
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 3: This right here is this right here is Jerry Jones

1757
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 3: Lifeblood's like listening to that he is more excited about

1758
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 3: this than any when the Dallas Cowboys will have all

1759
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 3: year long. I hate to say that I believe, but

1760
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 3: I mean, what else am I supposed to say? Listen

1761
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 3: to that he was into it. You could hear the

1762
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 3: passion in it and all that stuff, and it sounded

1763
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 3: like the perfect It was like everything is Micah's agent's fault.

1764
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 3: Like he's trying not to even put it on Micah.

1765
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 3: He's trying to create somebody else to blame it on,

1766
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 3: but also to defend himself completely because he had looked

1767
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 3: so bad going into this interview. You didn't really learn

1768
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 3: anything new here because we already knew that the agent

1769
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 3: and Jerry were not on the same page because Jerry

1770
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 3: doesn't want anything to do with the agent. He also

1771
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 3: said during the interview, you know, we own Michael Partsons

1772
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 3: for the next three years, and some people raise their

1773
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 3: eyebrows and NFL players former players who raised their eyebrows

1774
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 3: say you own him and all this kind of stuff

1775
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 3: and tried to take it there. It's like, dude, he

1776
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 3: owns him because he is the one paying him. He's suggested.

1777
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 3: He's not saying don't take it to a place, he's

1778
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 3: not taking it too, there's no need to do that,

1779
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 3: but he's saying it. Ultimately, I'm the one with the

1780
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 3: leverage because I'm the one that has his rights right

1781
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 3: now because I've paid him in the contract and rookie

1782
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 3: deal and all this other kind of stuff. But at

1783
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,600
Speaker 3: the same time, am I supposed to believe Jerry Jones? No,

1784
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 3: absolutely not. I mean, I think this is great tabloid,

1785
01:25:55,200 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 3: great fodder. I also think that it's an embarrassment for

1786
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 3: a team if they were, you know, on the cusp

1787
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 3: of winning something. Luckily, in this case, the Dallas Cowboys,

1788
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 3: they're not They're they're not good. They're not going to

1789
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:17,799
Speaker 3: be important at all. To anything that matters this season.

1790
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,800
Speaker 3: So this is going this is kind of their Super Bowl, man.

1791
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 3: Like sometimes you have that team that's the small school

1792
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 3: that is getting paid by the big university to go

1793
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 3: play them, and they go beat them and they end up,

1794
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 3: you know, getting the money to fund their athletic department

1795
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 3: for the next year. That's kind of what this is. Like,

1796
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 3: this right here is this is all you got, man.

1797
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,719
Speaker 3: This is not about football. It hasn't been about football

1798
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 3: for a while. I don't think. The only thing I'll say,

1799
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 3: and then I do want your thoughts on this last

1800
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 3: point is I don't I do think that Micah Parsons

1801
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 3: is starting to look worse. I don't know that it's

1802
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 3: because of Jerry, but like the whole deal with Shottenheimer,

1803
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 3: right like you had Micah throwing the gesture to the

1804
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 3: phone when the fans had come to play for the Falcons,

1805
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 3: but then you know he was sitting or he's laying

1806
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 3: on the bench, and Shottenheimer's quote was I need to

1807
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 3: figure out what he was doing and why he was

1808
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 3: doing it, So I'm not going to talk about it

1809
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 3: until I find that out. So he doesn't understand like

1810
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 3: what the guy was doing it's a great coaching hire.

1811
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,479
Speaker 3: You've definitely got You've definitely got the pulse of the

1812
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 3: franchise in the hands of somebody that the players respect.

1813
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,679
Speaker 3: But I do think that Parsons is now coming across

1814
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 3: in a way that his agent may have tried to

1815
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 3: shield him from, if that makes any sense. I do

1816
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 3: want your thoughts now, though.

1817
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:41,720
Speaker 2: Now a couple of things.

1818
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: One that's actually my takeaway as well, And it's very

1819
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:47,560
Speaker 1: clear that I think Jerry, whether he actually accomplished it

1820
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:49,799
Speaker 1: or not, I think he was tired of the narrative

1821
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 1: being one way and he's just gonna say, listen, I'm

1822
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna get this out there on the biggest

1823
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 1: platform that I can get it out there on, and

1824
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out my side of events and my

1825
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: version of events, whether people like it or not.

1826
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:03,560
Speaker 2: So I don't have a problem with that.

1827
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 1: I do agree it, and I think it's getting to

1828
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 1: the point because you know, I mean, listen, if if

1829
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: Micah and Jerry did agree to a number, it does

1830
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: make Michael look bad in some degree in either one

1831
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: went back on his word or two. You know, the

1832
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 1: agent is trying to manipulate the situation. Or have too

1833
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 1: much control. So I do agree with you. Is that

1834
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 1: I remember talking about this. I think it was two

1835
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago, j mart of, you know, I felt like

1836
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: this was really one of the first ones where one

1837
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: of the first kind of holdout deals where the ownership,

1838
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: you know, cause usually fans are just like, dude, agree

1839
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 1: to a contract, get back to camp.

1840
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 2: We don't want to deal with this, you know.

1841
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: And I bring it up because I remember talking to

1842
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 1: us about talking about this a few weeks ago where

1843
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: we said, like, this feels like one of the first

1844
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:51,600
Speaker 1: ones where it's like Jerry kind of looks weird and

1845
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 1: Micah looks like the good guy. And I do think

1846
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 1: that has flipped a little bit now. I also bring

1847
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: that up to say, as I was watching this, and

1848
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking about what you just said about the

1849
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: you know, we own him for three years, and you know,

1850
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: without the undertones that come with it, you know, the

1851
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 1: insinuation is like, you know, we could franchise tag him

1852
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: if we want to.

1853
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 2: And I guess my point is like, isn't that.

1854
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: Weren't these the exact same conversations that we've had over

1855
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of years with Dak not so much

1856
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: CD because he kind of signed during the you know,

1857
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 1: I forget when it was, but it wasn't like right

1858
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,599
Speaker 1: before the season. And I remember even like the first

1859
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 1: Dak negotiation, which it was just like, you know, it

1860
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 1: was the same thing. Well, they could just franchise tag

1861
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 1: him for two more years, and the deal always gets done.

1862
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: And so this just is giving me big vibes of

1863
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,920
Speaker 1: last year where it's like, what's going on, what does

1864
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 1: it mean?

1865
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 2: What does it not mean? This that the other thing?

1866
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 2: And then you know.

1867
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Opening I think last year with Dak, I believe it was,

1868
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, the morning of Week one it got done.

1869
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Jerry was the hero or

1870
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 1: not because he made Dak the highest paid player of

1871
01:29:59,040 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL.

1872
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:01,960
Speaker 2: But I just bring it up because to me, it's

1873
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 2: giving me those vibes.

1874
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 1: W We're gonna talk about it, talk about it, talk

1875
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 1: about it, and then before the season it will get done.

1876
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 2: And again I think it will be by Jerry's design.

1877
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, like he'll probably overpay because

1878
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 1: he overpays for everybody, but I don't know. I just

1879
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 1: I do feel like a lot of this reminds me

1880
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 1: of previous Cowboys negotiations that you know, most of them

1881
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,599
Speaker 1: don't go this deep into training camp. Some of them

1882
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 1: have felt contentious, and yet they always seem to get

1883
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:31,599
Speaker 1: done before it's all said and done.

1884
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the other thing, the only other thing

1885
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,839
Speaker 3: that I would say is it does not come across

1886
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 3: to me like Jerry Jones is not it does not

1887
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 3: want to pay Michael Parsons. Sure, that's the one other

1888
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 3: part about this where it's like, you know, when you

1889
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,280
Speaker 3: see pay the man and all this kind of stuff,

1890
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the issue here, Like there's something

1891
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:54,640
Speaker 3: else going on. And yes, I think that Jerry is

1892
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 3: milking this for all it's worth. But at the same time,

1893
01:30:56,960 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 3: like whatever's going on with the agent, Like the one

1894
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 3: thing that you can't say, it's not like he's trying

1895
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 3: to pay him less or he doesn't see his value

1896
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 3: or anything like that doesn't make any sense at all,

1897
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 3: Like it comes across like we tried to pay him

1898
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,479
Speaker 3: the most that anybody that's not a quarterback's ever been

1899
01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 3: paid in this league and the agent told us to

1900
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 3: shove it, and all this other kind of stuff Like

1901
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what more the owner is supposed to

1902
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:24,519
Speaker 3: do than pay the guy, Like, what what is missing

1903
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 3: in this situation? And then you know, steven A even

1904
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 3: mentioned to his credit, you know, I reached out to

1905
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 3: the agent to mugu Leta, and I reached out to

1906
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 3: Micah to have them on the show, and both of

1907
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,640
Speaker 3: them declined. So it's like, so we're only getting one

1908
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 3: side of this, and it's coming from Jerry Jones, And

1909
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 3: I mean, that's exactly what he should do in this case.

1910
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 3: But I do think this narrative has shifted at least

1911
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 3: a little bit in the favor of the organization because

1912
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what is being gained by the silent

1913
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 3: treatment coming from Michael Parsons camp. Like everything he's doing

1914
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 3: is coming across very so because we don't know, we're

1915
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 3: not getting his side like his agent's supposed to, you

1916
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 3: would think kind of frame it in his favor. And

1917
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 3: I just right now, two weeks ago, I was all

1918
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons. Right now, I'm not anywhere close to that

1919
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 3: because I just don't really see I don't see the

1920
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 3: end game for them. I don't know what they are

1921
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 3: trying to get that they weren't being offered, if that

1922
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 3: makes sense.

1923
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 1: One hundred and I think the other thing too, that

1924
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,560
Speaker 1: does you know I do think about is that. And

1925
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 1: I've said this about everything from a head coach to

1926
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 1: a GM to whatever. Is I think when people have

1927
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 1: a certain job title, there are baseline expectations that they

1928
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:43,720
Speaker 1: are competent and good at their job. And so I

1929
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:47,600
Speaker 1: just bring it up because it's not as though we

1930
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 1: don't have examples of an agent not knowing what he's doing. Uh,

1931
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 1: we go back two months NBA draft Ace Bailey agent,

1932
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 1: we're not doing this, we're not doing that, And it

1933
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:01,320
Speaker 1: was like, you know, it might have cost as Bailey money.

1934
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he still went whatever, third or fourth, but

1935
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I think there's this notion that,

1936
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 1: like again that every agent is totally buttoned up, has

1937
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: their crap together whatever. And I just wonder if this

1938
01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 1: might be a guy and I don't know much about

1939
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 1: his background. I you know, again I don't, I don't

1940
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 1: want to whatever. But is he just misplaying the situation.

1941
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's incompetent or incapable of doing the job,

1942
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 1: but is he misplaying this situation? Because again, to your point,

1943
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 1: like you said, it feels like that they've lost a

1944
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:32,240
Speaker 1: little bit of control of the narrative.

1945
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 2: And then, oh, by the way, I think here's the

1946
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 2: other thing.

1947
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: If you have nothing to hide, why are you not

1948
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the biggest platform available to you in

1949
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 1: sports media?

1950
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 2: And Steven A. Smith, So I don't know if you

1951
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:42,639
Speaker 2: want to piggyback off that at all.

1952
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 3: No, I mean, that's it. It's just like, what are

1953
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:48,160
Speaker 3: you staying quiet for? Like what what is the benefit

1954
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 3: to not telling us your side of the new things

1955
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 3: that are coming out here? Like you staying silent at

1956
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 3: this point is not making you more money. It's just

1957
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 3: kind of becoming tiresome. It's becoming irritating to watch this,

1958
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 3: and less so because of Dallas because at the very

1959
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 3: least Jerry Jones is going to tell you his perspective

1960
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 3: on this, and if he's wrong, then you should be

1961
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 3: want to shout from the rooftops that that's a complete

1962
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 3: lie because and Stephen A said this, He's right, somebody

1963
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 3: is lying here, Like one of these two parties is

1964
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 3: not being fully transparent about how this thing has gone,

1965
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 3: Like somebody is in the wrong and the way that

1966
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 3: this has been done. I've only heard it from one side.

1967
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 3: Maybe Michael Parsons or his agent, maybe they have something

1968
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 3: compelling to offer, But as of right now, Jerry Jones'

1969
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:41,680
Speaker 3: story goes unchecked, like there's nobody there to say that

1970
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,639
Speaker 3: what he's saying is wrong, and it kind of sounds

1971
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:45,479
Speaker 3: plausible to me.

1972
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 2: I agree one hundred percent. Will wrap on this.

1973
01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:51,559
Speaker 1: Do you think Michael Parsons is on the field week

1974
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:53,640
Speaker 1: one with a new deal for the Dallas Cowboys so

1975
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 1: about see?

1976
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 3: I do, yes. I still think it's gonna get done

1977
01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 3: because I think that ultimately what we are talking about,

1978
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 3: his agent knows this. I don't know that. I don't

1979
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 3: know that he's fully come to grips with the fact

1980
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 3: that what he's trying to pull may not actually work.

1981
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 3: But do I think that Michael Parsons is not going

1982
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 3: to be out there in week one? I don't see

1983
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 3: a universe for that because I don't see how that

1984
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 3: benefits Michael Parsons. I don't think he's just gonna sit out,

1985
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:24,720
Speaker 3: and I just I think the reputational damage and all

1986
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Yeah, I think somehow this is

1987
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:27,599
Speaker 3: going to get worked out.

2009
01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and dive into some other NFL related

2010
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 1: news and notes. Jmar you brought this to my attention today.

2011
01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: I think it's actually a very interesting topic. So Ben

2012
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,880
Speaker 1: Johnson a new head coach with the Chicago Bears, and listen,

2013
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 1: I have enjoyed, you know, the accountability that he brings,

2014
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, the the you know, toughness is not the

2015
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: right word, but you know, he's definitely you know, he's

2016
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 1: gotten the message about what hasn't worked in Chicago and

2017
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:21,400
Speaker 1: basically is trying to do the opposite.

2018
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 2: And to me, just to be fair, it feels genuine.

2019
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 1: I think sometimes guys just try to do the opposite

2020
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 1: when they get a head coaching job because they think

2021
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:30,000
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. I think this is

2022
01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:31,600
Speaker 1: who it is. I think this is who he is,

2023
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 1: and I think part of it is coming up under

2024
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:37,560
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. But also, you know, I just I don't know,

2025
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: I just get the vibe that he is being his true,

2026
01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: genuine self.

2027
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 8: Well.

2028
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 1: I bring it up because after the game today they

2029
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:46,840
Speaker 1: played their third preseason game. This was the Chicago Bears

2030
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs, a lot of backups whatever.

2031
01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 1: They ended up winning twenty nine to twenty seven. Actually,

2032
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:57,439
Speaker 1: but after the game, Ben Johns said a couple of

2033
01:37:57,439 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 1: different things, most notably offensively, the first two possessions were

2034
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: really sloppy football that has played us in and out

2035
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:06,479
Speaker 1: of camp so far, and unfortunately that's what we got

2036
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:10,520
Speaker 1: here tonight. He went on to say. It was disappointing

2037
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: for me offensively, for sure. I thought that we had

2038
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:15,000
Speaker 1: worked our way out of that. If the first quarter

2039
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:17,880
Speaker 1: was really any indication, it's just not good enough. So

2040
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 1: we've got to get better in a hurry. Good news

2041
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 1: is we will be able to look at this tape

2042
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 1: and coach it up with our guys, and I think

2043
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 1: it's out of our system. Hopefully going into the regular season.

2044
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:27,240
Speaker 1: We got to make sure that we start faster on

2045
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:30,560
Speaker 1: offense and defense. You heard these quotes and had a

2046
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 1: very interesting take on it. I want you to share

2047
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:35,640
Speaker 1: it rather than me just giving away the punchline here.

2048
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 3: So I asked the question to you, and it was

2049
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 3: and I was just like, am I crazy to be

2050
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 3: thinking this? Because I might be right, I might be

2051
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 3: entirely off base about this. I might be reading it wrong,

2052
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:52,360
Speaker 3: or maybe I just came to it in the wrong

2053
01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:54,280
Speaker 3: frame of mind. I'm not sure what it was, but

2054
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 3: I have seen this now and you talked about kind

2055
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 3: of how he has talked and how he's been kind

2056
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:04,160
Speaker 3: of transparent. He's I feel like he's been very candid,

2057
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 3: but is he being a little too candid before he

2058
01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 3: ever coaches an actual regular season game, Like there's like this,

2059
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 3: there's like this arrogance to it that that's kind of

2060
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 3: off putting. I'm not really sure, like I want him

2061
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 3: to be honest, but at the same time, like we've

2062
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 3: never seen him coach an actual game. We've seen him

2063
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 3: as a coordinator with a ton of talent on both

2064
01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:32,439
Speaker 3: sides of the ball. Both those coordinators got jobs, but

2065
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell was the culture setter there and now he

2066
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 3: is coming into this role. But I don't recall Dan

2067
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:40,560
Speaker 3: Campbell talking.

2068
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:40,880
Speaker 8: Like this.

2069
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 3: Beforehand, Like he talked about eating kneecaps and all that

2070
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 3: kind of stuff, but like that was just that was

2071
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 3: part of the culture thing. This is this is kind

2072
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 3: of how I phrase it to you. It's just like

2073
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of I'm a genius and if

2074
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 3: my stuff doesn't work, it's because he's got a good

2075
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 3: enough That's interesting. That's sort of how it felt to

2076
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:05,920
Speaker 3: me reading it. It's like I want it known that

2077
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:08,360
Speaker 3: I know what I'm doing, and so I'm going to

2078
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 3: be uber critical about what's happening on the field. That way,

2079
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 3: you don't place the blame on me. You look at Caleb,

2080
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 3: or you look at this, or you look at what's

2081
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 3: happening on the field, but you recognize that I'm the guy,

2082
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 3: like you recognize that my brain is gigantic and my

2083
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:26,360
Speaker 3: football IQ is off the charts. Like I said, maybe

2084
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 3: I am completely wrong. And look, you can bury me

2085
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 3: on social media if you want to, if you think

2086
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 3: that I'm off base on here, because you may be

2087
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:37,360
Speaker 3: one hundred percent right. There's just something about this that

2088
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:39,600
Speaker 3: kind of soured me a little bit, Like, dude, you

2089
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 3: don't have to say all the things that you were saying.

2090
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:44,559
Speaker 3: And I feel like it's a little bit of a shot.

2091
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, some people say, oh, he's pointing this

2092
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 3: to the roster. I just don't know that that's necessary.

2093
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 3: I just like, let's get a little further into your

2094
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 3: actual head coaching tenure, because I've seen a whole lot

2095
01:40:56,600 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 3: of offensive geniuses get jobs and fail as hey coaches

2096
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 3: same thing on the defensive side of the ball. I'm

2097
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 3: not saying he's going to fail, matter of fact, I

2098
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:07,880
Speaker 3: don't think that he is. But at the same time,

2099
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:10,960
Speaker 3: like I just feel like he's he is he is

2100
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 3: creating a lot of room, a lot of runway for

2101
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 3: himself at the expense of his guys, and I'm not

2102
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:19,639
Speaker 3: sure that that's the way to go here.

2103
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this is that you know, this is

2104
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 1: one uh by the way you did mention. If you

2105
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:27,599
Speaker 1: want to get if you want to crush JMR on social.

2106
01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 2: Media, that's just due.

2107
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 1: That's uh J Mart at J Mart Radio, I am

2108
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,720
Speaker 1: at Aaron Underscore Torres. Feel free to criticize us both.

2109
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:36,720
Speaker 2: I'll say this.

2110
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 1: You know, I don't I'll say this. I don't get

2111
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:44,560
Speaker 1: the vibe that it's from a place of arrogance. But

2112
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: what I will say is that I think any type

2113
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: of you know, coaching leadership whatever, there does have to

2114
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 1: be a push pull balance, right like like we kind

2115
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 1: of talked about it earlier with Brian Kelly, but like

2116
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 1: you can be tough and not just like annoyingly tough,

2117
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, and you can be you can be a quote,

2118
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, Dan Campbell's probably a players coach who the

2119
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 1: players also know, Hey, you know, if I let this

2120
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: guy down, he's gonna let me have it. And you know,

2121
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 1: I guess that's kind of where I am with Ben

2122
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: Johnson is I like that he's creating accountability. I just

2123
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:25,599
Speaker 1: wonder how long can he keep doing this? How long

2124
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:28,680
Speaker 1: can he keep up this this? You know, I don't

2125
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 1: think again, I don't think it's a shtick, but how

2126
01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: long can he keep this up? Before, you know, before

2127
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:37,680
Speaker 1: guys just start to tune it out. And by the way,

2128
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 1: maybe they win, maybe they start five and oh they

2129
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 1: play Vikings Monday night football. You know, maybe it all

2130
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:44,720
Speaker 1: starts well and it's it's a moot point. And you know,

2131
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:46,559
Speaker 1: he's a genius and let's give him all the credit

2132
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:48,560
Speaker 1: in the world. He turned things around in one offseason.

2133
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: But the counter to that is, you know, if they

2134
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:53,240
Speaker 1: start off one and three, all of a sudden, it's

2135
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna be like, you know, here we go again. You know,

2136
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 1: this guy tried to be the tough guy and look

2137
01:42:57,479 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 1: at where it got him. So I think that to

2138
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:01,600
Speaker 1: me is more where I'm at on it is that

2139
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: it's good to be a tough guy and accountability guy.

2140
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, maybe not a player's coach, but at some

2141
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,640
Speaker 1: point there does have to be the push pull of

2142
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:15,719
Speaker 1: you know whatever.

2143
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:17,559
Speaker 2: And I'll just be quick and I'll wrap this.

2144
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 1: Because I'm kind of rambling at this point, but like,

2145
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:23,720
Speaker 1: we've all worked for bosses that are just jerks, and

2146
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:26,560
Speaker 1: we've all worked for bosses that are really nice. And

2147
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 1: I think the best kind of bosses are the ones

2148
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: that if they have to come down on you and

2149
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 1: you screwed up, they let you know. But they also,

2150
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, positive reinforcement whatever, And so I guess maybe

2151
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes there is some positive reinforcement, but at

2152
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 1: least publicly, it does not appear to be all that much.

2153
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: And I guess that would be my point. Is this

2154
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,840
Speaker 1: all sounds great in the preseason. You start one in three,

2155
01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:52,240
Speaker 1: I think people will say, oh, you know, so much

2156
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: for the Ben Johnson tough guys stick.

2157
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,400
Speaker 2: If it doesn't end up working out, yeah, I.

2158
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 3: Think it's more just like when he comments is all

2159
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:03,519
Speaker 3: about them. It's not about him. It's not that the

2160
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,439
Speaker 3: coach we need to coach him a little bit better.

2161
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 3: It's like, maybe, you know, I thought our schemes were

2162
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 3: a little better than this, but uh, maybe we instituted

2163
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 3: too much too fast, or just any I don't know.

2164
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 3: That's just example, but anything where he's kind of pointing

2165
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:19,880
Speaker 3: at himself and at the staff I think that it's

2166
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:24,720
Speaker 3: easier to criticize others when you first criticize yourself or

2167
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 3: you include them in it, even if you're doing it

2168
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:29,600
Speaker 3: to kind of soften the critique a bit or at

2169
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:32,040
Speaker 3: least come across that balance that you're talking about, that

2170
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:34,720
Speaker 3: push pull that you're talking about. The way that you

2171
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:38,080
Speaker 3: accomplished that is by including yourself to some degree and

2172
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 3: just being like, look, I'm not perfect either, Like there's

2173
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 3: many things that we could do on this staff to

2174
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 3: put them in better chances to succeed. We're just not

2175
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 3: functioning the way we need to on the field. We're

2176
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 3: not functioning exactly the way we need to on the sidelines. Luckily,

2177
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,639
Speaker 3: it's a preseason. We're trying to figure this whole thing out.

2178
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna be ready to go week one. We're gonna

2179
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 3: get better as we move along, like something to that effect.

2180
01:44:58,240 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 3: But you don't ever get that first part. You won't

2181
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,760
Speaker 3: only get the man we sunk on the field, And like,

2182
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 3: that's the only part of it where I'm just kind

2183
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:09,880
Speaker 3: of like, okay, like you you mentioned it right, you

2184
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 3: start one to three. It's like, because of the way

2185
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:17,560
Speaker 3: all of this has been framed, it's like creating this

2186
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:23,120
Speaker 3: mindset amongst anybody that is actually reading this, listening to it,

2187
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 3: paying attention to what's happening in Chicago, and you're just

2188
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:28,000
Speaker 3: kind of like, well, that teem's not very good. At

2189
01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 3: least they're not firing on all cylinders right now. Ben

2190
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 3: ben Jonson's doing all he can. Like that, that's sort

2191
01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 3: of it's just kind of drumming that into your head

2192
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 3: over and over with his comments, and I just I

2193
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 3: don't love it. I got to say I don't love.

2194
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 2: It really quickly.

2195
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 1: Let's switch gears to another topic that has certainly made

2196
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:47,679
Speaker 1: waves in the NFL over the last couple of days.

2197
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts. They've got themselves a starting quarterback. But

2198
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:55,720
Speaker 1: I think what's more notable is who is not only

2199
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:59,160
Speaker 1: not the starting quarterback, but seemingly isn't even really in

2200
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 1: the conversation. Okay, so we know that earlier this week

2201
01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was named the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts.

2202
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 1: But what was very interesting about it is that in

2203
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:16,560
Speaker 1: the process, Shane Steichen basically acknowledged like, this is not

2204
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 1: a you know, one series for one guy, one series

2205
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:22,280
Speaker 1: for another. He's like Daniel Jones is our guy and

2206
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,599
Speaker 1: he is going to be the guy. And I don't

2207
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:27,920
Speaker 1: have the exact verbiage in front of me, but the

2208
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:31,599
Speaker 1: insinuation was not like, you know, he's just gonna give

2209
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 1: us the best chance to win in Week one.

2210
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,720
Speaker 2: But it's still an open competition. It's a close competition.

2211
01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson not happy, by the way, Worth noting the

2212
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts did play their final preseason game on Saturday,

2213
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson did not appear. Maybe the maybe the intention

2214
01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 1: was never to play either of them today. I don't know,

2215
01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:49,920
Speaker 1: so I don't want to.

2216
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:50,720
Speaker 2: Speculate on that.

2217
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:55,839
Speaker 1: But Anthony Richardson, you know, from top five pick, literally

2218
01:46:55,920 --> 01:47:00,559
Speaker 1: three drafts ago, to to the bench. Maybe he done

2219
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,120
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. What did you think of this as it

2220
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 1: broke over the last couple of days.

2221
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it goes back to what we said about

2222
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson at Florida. Anthony Richardson never had the time

2223
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:21,600
Speaker 3: to learn football. Everything that we saw from him was

2224
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:25,400
Speaker 3: so raw and yes, so impressive because he just has

2225
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 3: incredible physical skills. He does like he's got all of

2226
01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, but he was not able to

2227
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 3: actually fully grasp what he needed to. Like I've heard

2228
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 3: this said before, but one of the great things about

2229
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,680
Speaker 3: a guy like and Alex Smith, for example, is that

2230
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 3: an Alex Smith even told I think Alex Smith one

2231
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 3: of the reasons that Mahomes was able to really flourish

2232
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 3: is that when Mahomes came in there, Alex Smith was

2233
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:56,080
Speaker 3: able to teach him the intangible stuff that Mahomes with

2234
01:47:56,200 --> 01:47:58,760
Speaker 3: his physical stuff, with his way he could throw the

2235
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 3: football and all that kind of thing. He learned how

2236
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 3: to lead, He learned some of those kind of factors

2237
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 3: because Alex Smith had to learn all the detail because

2238
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 3: he didn't have all the other stuff. The only way

2239
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 3: he could stay in the league, the only way he

2240
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 3: could become a starting quarterback, was to get all the

2241
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 3: details right. It's like same thing with like an undersized

2242
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 3: cornerback or something that dude's got to know. He's got

2243
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 3: to know the opponent like the back of his hand.

2244
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:24,720
Speaker 3: He's got to understand tendencies in a different way. He's

2245
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 3: got to see things that other guys don't see because

2246
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 3: he doesn't have the physical measurables to go with that.

2247
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 3: Whereas in Anthony Richardson, Anthony Richardson's case, it's kind of

2248
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:39,080
Speaker 3: the opposite. He's able to get by on his skill set,

2249
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 3: but if he had just been able to stay at

2250
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:44,920
Speaker 3: Florida a little bit longer, he might have been able

2251
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:46,760
Speaker 3: to get the other side of that. And then he

2252
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:49,760
Speaker 3: went to an organization that immediately needed to play him

2253
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 3: because they didn't have a quarterback. So he wasn't able

2254
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:56,000
Speaker 3: to sit behind anybody and learn that. And that's mean

2255
01:48:56,360 --> 01:49:00,040
Speaker 3: not knocking his ability to learn, it's me knocking the

2256
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,160
Speaker 3: fact that he never had the opportunity. He was never

2257
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:05,599
Speaker 3: placed in a situation where he could learn. And because

2258
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 3: of that, like when you watch him play, and I

2259
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 3: watched like a video with Chase Daniel. I saw it

2260
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:14,599
Speaker 3: on YouTube, but I guess it came from I don't

2261
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:16,559
Speaker 3: know if he came from ESPNA Athletic or or wherever

2262
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,559
Speaker 3: Chase Daniel was doing it. Chase Daniel was going over

2263
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 3: the play where Anthony Richardson got hurt, and he's like

2264
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 3: nobody understands what he is doing, Like nobody on the

2265
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 3: field knows what he is looking at. I don't know

2266
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 3: what Anthony Richardson is doing on the football field. It's

2267
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 3: like he doesn't know Anthony Richardson doesn't know. So unfortunately,

2268
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:41,719
Speaker 3: all this to say, I think Anthony Richardson is probably

2269
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 3: done in Indianapolis, and what he could have been he's

2270
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:50,519
Speaker 3: never going to be because he just did not get

2271
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:55,599
Speaker 3: that fundamental teaching part that could have made him one

2272
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 3: of the all time greats. And I just don't think

2273
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 3: that he has now the NFL, you just don't have

2274
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,800
Speaker 3: the time, Like there's just not the ability there for

2275
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:06,320
Speaker 3: that to happen. Even if he's working hard in the offseason,

2276
01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 3: and he may be, there's just something that he's not

2277
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 3: going to be able to get. And I think it

2278
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:13,560
Speaker 3: was because everybody shot him to the moon because of

2279
01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:17,639
Speaker 3: his physical gifts and they never actually stopped and helped

2280
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 3: him along the way. Yeah.

2281
01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 2: I don't really have a ton to add. I agree.

2282
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:25,680
Speaker 1: Is that the one thing I will say, you know,

2283
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 1: we always talk about and I think to some degree

2284
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 1: it's true, but I think to some degree it's not

2285
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:33,400
Speaker 1: this notion. Oh you know, it's it's impossible to evaluate

2286
01:50:33,520 --> 01:50:36,479
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and you just never know. And it's like, Okay,

2287
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 1: I get it, but like, let's let's talk through some

2288
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 1: of these guys. Anthony Richardson one year starter team wasn't good,

2289
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 1: basically played one one great game when there was no

2290
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 1: film on him. Trey Lance basically didn't play his entire

2291
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:54,000
Speaker 1: senior year or his tire last year, was already down

2292
01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 1: at the FCS level, plays one game that season, then

2293
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: goes because of COVID, Zach Wilson, Uh, you know, COVID

2294
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:05,960
Speaker 1: year a little bit nobody play, nobody a little bit small.

2295
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:10,240
Speaker 1: It's just like, by the way, Josh Allen, you know,

2296
01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:13,759
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent completion percentage or whatever. There's an exception

2297
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:16,599
Speaker 1: to every rule, but I do feel like in general,

2298
01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:19,280
Speaker 1: like by the way, well Levis, I know he wasn't

2299
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 1: a first round pick. Yeah, okay, what what are you

2300
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:25,280
Speaker 1: seeing that nobody else is because none of us that

2301
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:26,600
Speaker 1: actually watch him play see it.

2302
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 2: And so Tyler Tyler Tyler, Sorry, no, it's okay. Bree

2303
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:32,120
Speaker 2: doesn't produce this show anymore.

2304
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:35,280
Speaker 1: So hopefully not listening, Bri if you're listening, We're very

2305
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:37,720
Speaker 1: sorry about your quarterback situation. But it's just like you know,

2306
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 1: and then you go to the guys that are successful,

2307
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,599
Speaker 1: and we'll see on some of them. But Jaden Daniels

2308
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: I could I think he was a five year starter

2309
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: in college. Multiple years at Arizona State, multiple years at LSU,

2310
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 1: won a heis been in the toughest conference in college football.

2311
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams will see but three year starter, whether it works,

2312
01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:59,560
Speaker 1: whether it doesn't, whatever, cam Ward, cam Ward, four or

2313
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:03,519
Speaker 1: five starter. Everywhere he goes, they win, wins the Heisman.

2314
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, you just go on and on down the list,

2315
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 1: and so I don't know, I just I just I'm

2316
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 1: not surprised. I understand why they made the pick. You know,

2317
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 1: that was a what we believe to be a two

2318
01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,080
Speaker 1: quarterback draft. The two guys at the top were Stroud

2319
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:22,640
Speaker 1: and Bryce Young, and they needed a quarterback. And I

2320
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:24,720
Speaker 1: understand that at some point they had to take a risk.

2321
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 1: They wanted to get off of the carousel of bringing

2322
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 1: in the veteran guy that was past his prime, Philip Rivers,

2323
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:34,479
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, you know, Matt Ryan, whoever, and they needed

2324
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:37,800
Speaker 1: to take a chance. But to me, I just like,

2325
01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised it didn't work, because it felt like

2326
01:52:41,479 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 1: it was kind of set up for failure to be with.

2327
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:44,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not like they're the most

2328
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,160
Speaker 1: functional organization to begin with. And then to your point,

2329
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:48,600
Speaker 1: J Mart, it's not like there was a system in

2330
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:51,680
Speaker 1: place to even help him succeed, which is a part

2331
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:52,720
Speaker 1: of the situation as well.

2332
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think Philip Rivers, if he came out

2333
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 3: of retire, if he decided to play, would be better

2334
01:52:58,040 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 3: than both options at the colts have.

2335
01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:03,280

01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:21,160
Speaker 2: was seven and a half.

2345

2370
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:41,600
Speaker 2: I want to know where this is going for what?

2371
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:44,880
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just curious. I mean, based on everything that

2372
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 3: I hear, apparently he's done everything in the world and

2373
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:52,480
Speaker 3: should be fired from his NFL job and suspended, and

2374
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:58,280
Speaker 3: he stole the national championship and everything. What in the world? Man, Like,

2375
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:00,879
Speaker 3: what universe are we living in? This is college football?

2376
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:04,440
Speaker 3: Everybody steals national championships? No I'm not even si. I

2377
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:07,160
Speaker 3: didnt even want to go down that road. I'm just like, dude,

2378
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 3: you made the point, right, And I think Jonas has

2379
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:12,280
Speaker 3: made the same point in the same week. It's like, dude,

2380
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 3: after the Stallions thing, they went and won games that

2381
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:18,880
Speaker 3: were so impressive, Like, what are we talking about here?

2382
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 3: I still can't believe this is this has this has

2383
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:24,480
Speaker 3: gone this direction after it felt like it was over.

2384
01:55:24,840 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other thing I would add too, and I

2385
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:28,120
Speaker 1: thought about I forget if I mentioned this on the

2386
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:31,360
Speaker 1: show last week, but you know, one of the things

2387
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 1: like in a year like last year where the SEC

2388
01:55:33,880 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 1: does not win the national championship in football and last year,

2389
01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:38,120
Speaker 1: for the second straight year, they didn't even have a

2390
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 1: team play for the national championship, what is one of

2391
01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:42,920
Speaker 1: the stats that you know they hold on to for

2392
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:45,080
Speaker 1: dear life that proves that they're still the best conference

2393
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:49,400
Speaker 1: in college football? Well, we have the most NFL draft picks. Okay, Well,

2394
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:54,000
Speaker 1: after Michigan won the National Championship, they had thirteen players

2395
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:57,120
Speaker 1: drafted in the following NFL Draft. I believe that's tied

2396
01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:01,480
Speaker 1: for second most all time. Then this off the same

2397
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 1: national championship team, they had three more first rounders Kenneth Grant,

2398
01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 1: Colston Lovelin, and Mason Graham. Will Johnson would have been

2399
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,160
Speaker 1: a first rounder if he wasn't hurt all year. So

2400
01:56:11,320 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 1: you're basically talking about thirteen guys off that previous team

2401
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 1: that got drafted right after they won the championship, four

2402
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 1: guys that basically would have been first round picks this

2403
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:25,400
Speaker 1: year that were part of that team. Like, why can't

2404
01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:27,640
Speaker 1: we just acknowledge they were by far the best team,

2405
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:32,960
Speaker 1: had by far the most talent, and whatever factor Connor

2406
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:37,240
Speaker 1: Stallions played, it was a pretty mitigating factor, especially again

2407
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:41,080
Speaker 1: when you factor in that their four biggest wins of

2408
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:43,560
Speaker 1: the year all came after he was fired, two of them,

2409
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 1: by the way, without Jim Harbaugh even on the sideline.

2410
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:47,840
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous to me, but it's just it is what

2411
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:51,080
Speaker 1: it is. So yes, I'll tell you what. So you're

2412
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:52,440
Speaker 1: not going to be in next week. I still haven't

2413
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 1: gotten worried. I assume Arnie Spanier will be filling your seats.

2414
01:56:56,640 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 1: So I'm sure we're not going to get good college

2415
01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 1: football talk in next week. So let's go ahead really

2416
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 1: quickly and talk these Week one games Texas Oklahoma or Texas, Oklahoma, Texas,

2417
01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Uh, tell me what you're thinking for that one.

2418
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have a pick yet, if

2419
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:14,000
Speaker 1: you've thought about it. By the way, if you missed it,

2420
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 1: it's on the podcast Our National Championship Picks.

2421
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:19,400
Speaker 2: Jmar did pick Texas to win the national championship.

2422
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 1: So I'm guessing if you like Texas to win the

2423
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:24,480
Speaker 1: national Championship, you probably feel good about them this week.

2424
01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:29,280
Speaker 3: What do you think? Man? That's a tough one, man,

2425
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 3: because that you're going to the shoe in that scenario.

2426
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 3: And this is Arch right like this this is week

2427
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:40,040
Speaker 3: one of Arch. In this spot where it's his team,

2428
01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 3: you want to make a statement. You have no bigger

2429
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,320
Speaker 3: opportunity than right here, Like the whole world is going

2430
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 3: to be paying attention watching every single move that you make.

2431
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:54,920
Speaker 3: You'll get Fox on campus. Everything's going to be happening there. Gosh,

2432
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 3: and Jeremiah Smith's still the best player in college football.

2433
01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:00,640
Speaker 3: So where am I supposed to go here? I guess how?

2434
01:58:03,120 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm torn, bro, This one's tough. This

2435
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:09,840
Speaker 3: is a very very difficult. You see the ticket price, no,

2436
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 3: what is it? Low? Price is three seventy two. Wow,

2437
01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:19,360
Speaker 3: that's a hot ticket right there. I think Ohio State

2438
01:58:19,400 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 3: will beat them. Okay, that's just my head, that's what

2439
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 3: That's just my first impression right now. I still take

2440
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 3: Texas Winston National Championship, but I like Ohio State in

2441
01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:32,520
Speaker 3: this particular game.

2442
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 2: Tell you what.

2443
01:58:33,520 --> 01:58:36,640
Speaker 1: I haven't formalized this take yet, but I I'm gonna

2444
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 1: take Texas on the road, and I don't feel great

2445
01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:39,240
Speaker 1: about it.

2446
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 2: Ohio State lost everybody.

2447
01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:43,520
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you missed it, I had

2448
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:45,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State winning the Big Ten, So I'm not like

2449
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 1: down on them. I brought this up last week j Martin.

2450
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,320
Speaker 1: The thing that I think everyone's so focused on the quarterback.

2451
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 1: Two new coordinators and like whatever we think about Chip

2452
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,760
Speaker 1: Kelly the college coach, or like the guy knows how

2453
01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:02,040
Speaker 1: to play. And I don't know what went on in

2454
01:59:02,120 --> 01:59:04,320
Speaker 1: that Michigan game, but other than that game, he was

2455
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:05,520
Speaker 1: basically lights out all year.

2456
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 2: And then Jim Knowles has gone too.

2457
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 1: On the defensive side, Matt Patricia is the defensive coordinator

2458
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:13,720
Speaker 1: for people do not know. I have no idea what

2459
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm getting out of him. And then Brian Hartline is

2460
01:59:16,800 --> 01:59:20,960
Speaker 1: the OC and people forget this. He was the OC

2461
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:24,040
Speaker 1: two years ago because remember after the I guess it

2462
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,320
Speaker 1: would have been the third loss to Ohio State the

2463
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:27,720
Speaker 1: big Top. No, I think it was the second one.

2464
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:31,360
Speaker 1: The big topic of conversation was Ryan Deay shouldn't be

2465
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:33,280
Speaker 1: calling plays. He needs to be a CEO head coach.

2466
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:36,160
Speaker 1: They put this heartline guy in and he was so

2467
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 1: bad that to go hied Chip Kelly. So I'm a

2468
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:41,240
Speaker 1: little worried about the coordinators. I'll take Texas to win.

2469
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 1: I think I don't feel great about it. I'm willing

2470
01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 1: to change. We don't have a ton of time. I

2471
01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:48,960
Speaker 1: think I know where you're going with this one. But

2472
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:52,800
Speaker 1: LSU at Clemson that is the seven thirty Eastern time game.

2473
01:59:53,240 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 1: Myself and whoever is on with me, probably Arnie Spanier

2474
01:59:56,360 --> 01:59:58,720
Speaker 1: will be on as this game goes final next week.

2475
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,320
Speaker 3: I do believe in k club Nick. I don't really

2476
02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:04,680
Speaker 3: believe in Garrett nus Meyer, at least to the hype

2477
02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:08,440
Speaker 3: that I have heard. I think Dabo and his squad

2478
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:10,680
Speaker 3: will beat LSU and it will be another one of

2479
02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:13,120
Speaker 3: those where LSU, you don't have to do this. This

2480
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:15,200
Speaker 3: is the ten Cup. Somebody telling me he doesn't have

2481
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:17,120
Speaker 3: to hit it from there like you don't have to

2482
02:00:17,440 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 3: have this scheduled every year, but this is gonna be

2483
02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:21,240
Speaker 3: oho to one again for Brian Kelly.

2484
02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand. I mean, I like it as

2485
02:00:24,440 --> 02:00:27,200
Speaker 1: a college football fan. I'm happy about it, but uh

2486
02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:30,240
Speaker 1: opener against Clemson Natties. I'll tell you what though, we

2487
02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:31,720
