14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: It all began a rough week of injuries in the NFL, devastating,

15
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: catastrophic injuries, Burrow out, Watson out, andrews out, ah man,

16
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: it was a brutal week.

17
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: Brother, Well and think about this, my friend. Like a

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: week ago, the conversation was, would every team in the

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: AFC South make their AFC North, sorry, make the playoffs?

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: You know because of where the standings were, and how

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: good the quarterback played could have been, and how good

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: the rosters are. Everybody looked at it and said, we

23
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: could have every team from one division, and then in

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a matter of days, Browns fans go from feeling hopeful

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: to hopeless, and then Bengals fans join that. And you're right.

26
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: I think the Andrews injury because of the other two

27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: being quarterbacks, has really been undercovered because that's such a

28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: huge part of the limited portion of who you can

29
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: trust as a pass catcher in that offense. I mean,

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: the AFC was already the wild wild West this year.

31
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Fourteen teams within a game of contention here right, like

32
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, bam, you get this in just

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: a couple of days, and the worst way for these

34
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: fan basism for these players. You now have something that

35
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: looked like, hey, we could see one thing. It looks

36
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: wildly different today than it did the last time we

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: were on air together. Like that is such a weird

38
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: phenomenon to me, to see so many significant injuries in

39
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: one division, in one conference that really reshaped the way

40
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: the entire playoffs is gonna look.

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: Oh, it's unbelievable. I mean it really is. I mean,

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: the whole leak in a matter of a week looks

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: completely upside down. So let me start with some Jason fitzlove.

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: Ooh oh yes, let me start by saying you Fitsy,

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: you know your stuff, Fitzy. Let me just say rock

46
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: Purty made you like.

47
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Gys Oh it feels good, you know, taking a rock

48
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: party victory lap? Is that what I'm doing here? Like?

49
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Am I gonna take a victory lap.

50
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: Before we even get started? I gotta give my boy

51
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: by the flowers, man, I gotta give you flowers and

52
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: all the rock party. And I've been chazzy, you a

53
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: little bait, give me a little shy love. He then

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: he looked sensational in uh against Jacksonville on Sunday, And

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: that's where we're talking about the whole league being upside down.

56
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: The Niners are back after losing three in a row.

57
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: They had to buy. They come back in a big

58
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: way and party looked awesome. And listen, that's a good

59
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: Jacksonville team that they destroyed.

60
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: I sit here though, with all of that, and my

61
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: initial thought when I was watching that go down was

62
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: not I'm gonna trash talk the fellas because you know,

63
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: I think you know, victory laps are nice, But my

64
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: initial thought was, what a reminder that he's a young quarterback,

65
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and you know, when when you're young and I don't

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: necessarily mean young in age, but young in league experience.

67
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: I just think the first you know, we've talked about

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: this before, but for me, if you really want to

69
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: know where your quarterback is, for most of them, I

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: think it actually takes almost three seasons. Nobody wants to

71
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: wait that long to say something, but it just takes

72
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: a long time to figure out the consistency. Like tread Water,

73
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: here's who this guy is. And I watched the Jacksonville

74
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: game and it just felt like such a different version

75
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: of him than we'd had leading up to it that

76
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: it just to me. It reminded me that inconsistency's going

77
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: to be get a consistent part of a young quarterback

78
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: on a great team, and because that's where they are.

79
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: But the other thing that and you tell me what

80
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: you think of this guy, because I keep watching every

81
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: single week, and now the more I watch, the more

82
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: I get trust issues, because like, how is it possible

83
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: that one week I'm looking there, I'm like, you know what,

84
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Jacksonville deserves some credit being with the elite

85
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: of the AFC. Then they come out and just get thumped,

86
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: and one week you want to sit here and say

87
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco's finally figured it out, and then they look

88
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: bad and now they look good again. Like, I don't

89
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: know how to not overreact to this year NFL because

90
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: I don't think there's very many teams that I can trust,

91
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: Like I don't think the Eagles are who they were

92
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: last year. We've talked about that, but right now when

93
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: a trust issues league, I don't know why anybody thinks

94
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: the Eagles Chiefs won't just be the Super Bowl again,

95
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: because who can you trust in any of this?

96
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: No, And it's funny because their schedule is gonna get really,

97
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: really tough, and I'm curious, you know how they react

98
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: to it and a couple of losses do people go,

99
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: I'll see they're not as good even though they're eight

100
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: and one, right, because I hear that all the time, like, wow,

101
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: the Eagles that good, and they go, well, you know

102
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: they're eight and one, So the answer would be yes.

103
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: But to your point, I don't know who you trust

104
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: the league, and they guess to you know, this is

105
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: kind of who the league, what the league is, and

106
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: who it is really because you got so many teams

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: and injuries. Man, one thing that we always come back

108
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: to is just injuries. And I gotta tell you, dude,

109
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: I like the barrow thing is sickening, right, Losing to

110
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: Shaun Watson, losing quarterbacks, it just hurts the league. And look,

111
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: I gotta bring this up to you guys because Baldy

112
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: on our podcast we were talking about this is a

113
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: big yesterday a lot and it's I and I'm guilty

114
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: because I'm a more and more and more guy. Even

115
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 2: though the game shouldn't be played like the Ravens played

116
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: three games in eleven days, Like that's too much to

117
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: play three games in eleven days? Is Thursday night football

118
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: just too much of a of a hassle? And do

119
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: you gotta just be more creative? Add the double by

120
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: and then try to get real creative with you know,

121
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: short weeks and using other days so you're not playing

122
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: within four days of each other of games.

123
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: I think there's probably value in that conversation, but is

124
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: there enough value? And I use the word value intentionally

125
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: because everything's about money for the league, right, And we

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: know that, and I'm sitting here thinking to what you're saying.

127
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: It makes great sense, but it's kind of like raising taxes,

128
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: Like once they raise taxes in a local area, they're

129
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: never lowering. I'm like, and once they start getting that money,

130
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: they're going to keep taking that money as long as

131
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: they can, right, Like, That's how I feel about the

132
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: NFL getting money. Like, once they start getting the money

133
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: from Thursday night football, they're never going to give it back.

134
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: So now the question becomes, how do you sort of

135
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: live through it in a way that makes sense and

136
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: does the league care? And I would argue that the

137
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: only thing that can really make the league care is

138
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: if it hurts the league. And to your point, the

139
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: one thing we know hurts the league our quarterback injuries.

140
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: Go back to twenty seventeen, when the playoffs were a

141
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: bunch of quarterbacks nobody had heard of, and the conversation

142
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: might have been twenty eight ten of that year where

143
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: everybody kept saying, oh, the ratings are down and people

144
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: aren't watching the NFL and nobody cares, And even at

145
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: the time, looking around, it's like, well, maybe it has

146
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: something to do with the fact that everybody in the

147
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: playoffs has a backup quarterback and casual fans don't want

148
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: to watch that, Like and that turned out to be true,

149
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: We're in a very similar situation. Like the Josh Tobs

150
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: story is a beautiful, wonderful thing, but it simply masks

151
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: what would usually be an issue for Minnesota also right,

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: like the number of backup quarterbacks were watching, Like, are

153
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: we really we're at this spot where where we're supposed

154
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: to get excited about beaging constantly while we wait for

155
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Justin Fields to come back on a bad Bears team,

156
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: Like we're just we're used to watching bad quarterbacks this

157
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: year because we are seeing so many backups play. That's

158
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: the one thing that I think would catch the attention

159
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: of the NFL because frankly, that costs them money long

160
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: term when you start talking about people watching any interest

161
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: every week.

162
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: Good morning, Figuie, what do you say? What's up? Brother?

163
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, morning, guys.

164
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: I'm with you And one thing that we've seen over

165
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 4: the years, and I think I do know the reason why.

166
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 4: Because you know everything that's such as a salary crunch,

167
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: and you want to maximize them as many spaces on

168
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: your roster as you possibly can.

169
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: You just don't have quality backups anymore.

170
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: You know, back in the day, your backup quarterback was

171
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: a ten eleven, twelve year veteran who's kind of on

172
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: the back nine of his career. Maybe he had his

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 4: best years or behind him, but you knew that you

174
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: can put him in in a three four game spot

175
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: and you can be able to play at a quality level.

176
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: And over the last decade, maybe even fifteen years or so,

177
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: it is a lot of Tyson bagents and undrafted guys

178
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: and sixth round picks without those that veteran presence, yeah,

179
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 4: Jake Browning types, And it's I think that more than anything. Look,

180
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that a group of backup players, they're

181
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: backups for a reason, but if you have a veteran backup,

182
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: you're gonna have more quality football, at least more often

183
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: than not than with you know, undrafted guys who have

184
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: literally no experience, and you're just getting a lot of

185
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: bad football. So I think that's you know, one of

186
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: the big reasons too. Injuries are unfortunately gonna happen, and

187
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: sometimes they just happen to come in bunches, like Joe Burrow.

188
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: The calf injury is one thing you know, injuring your hand. Okay,

189
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: you know, Justin Field's fracturing his thumb. Some of these

190
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: things are just unfortunate, you know, matters that can happen

191
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 4: that are independent of short or wear and tear or

192
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: what have you. But one thing that is that is

193
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 4: not avoidable, or that I think is avoidable that you

194
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 4: can fix, is there's just an epidemic of terrible backup

195
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in this league. And I think the best way

196
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 4: to fix that is just going back to getting veterans

197
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: in the lineup and stop going on the cheap and

198
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: drafting these young guys who are wholly unprepared to play

199
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 4: once their numbers are called.

200
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but a lot of the.

201
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: Hard things about that, though, Figgi, because I hear you.

202
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: But two things that I think factor in that a

203
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of these backup quarterbacks have opportunities outside of the

204
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: NFL when they're done, and they can make better. I mean,

205
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's a great example, Like he's not going to

206
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: sit around and play if he can go do TV

207
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: for even more money. And then the guys make so

208
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: much money, like they can be choosy about wanting to play.

209
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: To your point, in an era where you know, a

210
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: mid level NFL quarterback maybe didn't make the most money,

211
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: they were going to stick around longer than they needed to. Now,

212
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: like the Chase Tannial of the world that's going to

213
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: get contract after contract, even though he's never really playing,

214
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: he's going to make you know that that used to

215
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: be a situation now I don't know, you know. Using

216
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: Chase also as an example, he gets so rich, I

217
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: don't know what keeps the guy around that's been around

218
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: for a minute. So I don't know, Like right now,

219
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: if you're the Bengals and you went out on the

220
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: street and money was no object, I still don't know

221
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: that there's a guy out there that you could bring in.

222
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: It's funny Brown Joe, you know.

223
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: And he was a guy that was on the street

224
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: as a perfect example ant you know. But I mean,

225
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: and I don't know what his price tag would have

226
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: been on the open market. And that's a potential reason

227
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 4: why he has been on the street up until someone

228
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 4: needed him. I'm not one hundred percent sure as of

229
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: what the circumstances behind that are, but he's a perfect

230
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 4: example of it.

231
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: I'll give you another one. Sure Wentz Sure got signed

232
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: by the Rams. Yeah, you know, two weeks ago. So

233
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: you know there are guys I listen, I think you're right,

234
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: fig I think you gotta you gotta have some guys

235
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: who have actually played in games. It's hard, man, it's

236
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: it's too hard with you watching now again the Giants case,

237
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: you're down to your third stringer. So yeah, you know,

238
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: I can't go, you know, rail on the Timmy DeVito

239
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 2: thing because he's he's a third string guy.

240
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: And they had a veteran back up in Tyra Taylor

241
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: that you can't you know, right, yeah, when you.

242
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: Get down to your third street quarterback, at that point,

243
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: all logic's gone, Like there's just no, you're not supposed

244
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: to win that football game. You're just you're just surviving.

245
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: At that point, it just, you know, it just sucks.

246
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: I mean just from a you know, the fan perspective

247
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: that here we are Thanksgiving, this is like this, this

248
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: is uh, you know, Thanksgiving week that we're about to

249
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: embark on. And I hear you, and the league is

250
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: to fits it to your point, the league is upside down.

251
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: It's wild, Like I don't know, I mean, I can

252
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: make a case for about eighteens and like here's the

253
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: other thing. Buffalo. Like, let's take this example. Buffalo is

254
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: a mess right now, right They're a complete and utter mess.

255
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: But you know what, they're not out of it because

256
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: they there's talent there and if somehow they hot, who knows,

257
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 2: Like you go back to the Giants of the when

258
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: they want that wild card run, you know in O nine,

259
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: whoever it was, where you know Colvin Sudden, the team

260
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: gets hot, you know, the next thing you know, they're

261
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: back in it.

262
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as Fitzi mentioned, everything is so clumped together

263
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 4: in the AFC right now, nobody's really pulling away, with

264
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: the exception of Baltimore and Kansas City to a certain degree.

265
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 4: But who knows what happens in a playoff game. Josh

266
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 4: Allen gets in there, he gets hot, they get clicking

267
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 4: with the new offensive coordinator. Anything can happen. So that's

268
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 4: the that's kind of what we This is what the

269
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 4: NFL has wanted for years. This is the parody aspect

270
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: that people have craved for a while. I know it's

271
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: something that I've certainly championed. Not knowing what's going to

272
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: happen on a weekend and week out basis now you'd

273
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,479
Speaker 4: rather not be as a result of multiple injuries because Buffalo,

274
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: you know, I know Ken Dorsey kind of you know,

275
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: he didn't fall on the sword. They basically stabbed him

276
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 4: in the gut. But I don't think all of the

277
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: issues are his fault per se. You know, Josh Allen

278
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 4: is turning the ball over at a high rate, always has.

279
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: They're not running the ball as well, They're not playing

280
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: those well defensively, and I think all those things together

281
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: is the reason why they're struggling. Look, if Buffalo doesn't

282
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: have the special team's brain fart and they actually end

283
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 4: up winning that game against Denver, you know, he still

284
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: has a job as offensive coordinator. There's no doubt in

285
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 4: my mind about that. So it's just weird how those

286
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: sort and side those things work out.

287
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, just think about what you're what you're saying with

288
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: the Bills in the AFC. Like I just pulled up

289
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: the playoff standings to look this up and make sure

290
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't losing my mind. If the playoffs started today,

291
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals would they're looking at they're the tenth seed

292
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: in the AFC because the tie breakers, the Bills are

293
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: the eleventh seed, which is nothing like what we thought

294
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: coming into the season, which is usually the magic of

295
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. We look at it and say, two great

296
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: teams that we thought were going to be Super Bowl

297
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: contenders aren't even really in the playoff contention picture right now.

298
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: That would usually be a great thing. The problem is

299
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: the teams ahead of them just aren't very good. Like

300
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: that's the weird. Like I'm all in for parody. I

301
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: think parody is an important part of what makes the

302
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: NFL great. But you could make a cases about why

303
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are flawed, why the Ravens have been inconsistent,

304
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: and then after you get through those teams, the Jags man,

305
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins man, the Steelers man, the Browns man, the

306
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Texans may like you go up and down the list

307
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: like parody is happening this year. But in the AFC,

308
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: particularly where it was supposed to be, oh my god,

309
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: look at the gauntlet of greatness. We will get out

310
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: of the AFC this year. Instead, it's a big old

311
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: barrel of mediocrity and somebody's got to make the playoffs.

312
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: That's a much different narrative, that's all I'm saying.

313
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, no, it's it's the whole thing's wild. It

314
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: really is it's just wild. You know what else I

315
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: think about it time, time just melts away. Man, we're

316
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: about to be in Thanksgiving week. College football's winding down.

317
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: Fake how many times they'll fit on neurotic? I am

318
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: all right, I'm a so neurotic, like I fear this day.

319
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: I feared it, like when when September was on the cusp,

320
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: right and it was late August, and I was so

321
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: a bundle of happy and the whole thing, and I

322
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: would tell Figgy, fig it's gonna be great. You know,

323
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: we finally got it, and you couple board fits. It's

324
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: so pumped up, and it's football. College football is about

325
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: to start, and I know at some point it's gonna

326
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: be Thanksgiving.

327
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: Yep, you said it. You said it in mid August.

328
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: I remember vividly, and I was like, the season hasn't

329
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: even started yet and you're already dreading the end.

330
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: I'm depressed.

331
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: Jeez.

332
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: The crazy part about that, Like, you're not wrong. I

333
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: was sitting sitting down talking to a buddy yesterday and

334
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: I was just talking about work schedules, things that you know,

335
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: when you work in sports, you have to think about

336
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: getting into the holidays. And it was crazy because one

337
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: of my buddies pointed out, he's like, well, there's only

338
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: a couple more weeks of the college football regular season,

339
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't sink in, Like, at leastfl you

340
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: can say, Okay, it's week ten, week eleven, you know,

341
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: there's six weeks and then we got the playoffs. But

342
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: you're right, it's it's flying by and the fact that

343
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: we're sitting here in a world where the world where

344
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: Michigan is, yeah, Michigan's you know, facing this two more

345
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: games of this suspension with Harball. The real thing that

346
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: sinks in there is that there's only two more games

347
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Like that's that's crazy. Like we

348
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: got this weekend, we got next weekend, and then we

349
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: got conference championships and then we're into bowl games that

350
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: nobody's going to care about like that. It's just it's

351
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: wild that we already got there. It is absolutely insane.

352
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, this will be the last year

353
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 4: that we have to worry about this because starting next season,

354
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 4: we'll have an expanded playoff to add a few more

355
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 4: games to the Ledger, So that'll help at least a

356
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 4: little bit.

357
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: For that.

358
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: For this reason alone, I want that like, just to

359
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: know that, Hey, don't worry, there's another month where the

360
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: quality college football coming. Oh I want.

Speaker 1: in Connecticut, but you know that this area well ing up,

410
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: but Foxo I was. I was stunned when I moved

411
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: like up to Connecticut and everybody said, hey, there are

412
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: two casinos up here. Foxwood's Mohegan and they're you know,

413
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: you're pretty standard sort of Indian reservation casinos that that

414
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: everybody knows about. I I pulled into both of them

415
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: back in the day when we used to play them.

416
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: I never really paid attention to it. They are huge,

417
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: their Vegas style and sized casinos. So I actually really

418
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: enjoy going up there. So I went up to Foxwoods,

419
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: played a little fi, had a nice time with the

420
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: boys of the band.

421
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: Do you miss Blaine regularly?

422
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: No? Not even Like That's the funny thing is last

423
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: night some friends were there and the first thing, everybody's like,

424
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: oh my god, just stood out on that stage. You

00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: just been in you know, I've had two lucky dream jobs.

428
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: I went from playing the fiddle on the road to

429
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, to getting to sit here and talk about

430
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: sports for a living. So the funny thing is sitting

431
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: backstage with Scottie and the boys after the show. The

432
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: number of them that were just repeatedly like, man, I

433
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: wish I'd done what you did, and I wish I

434
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: could do what you do every day, and we were

435
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: just we were talking about sports as a bunch of

436
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: music guys backstage. So you know, it's a good I

437
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: don't miss it at all. How was your week?

00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: It was?

440
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: It was good. It was. It was very good. Although

441
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: my my little guy, my oldest eighth grade he played

442
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: his last eighth grade football game. Oh and I you know,

443
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 2: I get sad. You know, it's like it's sitting down

444
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: the next the next time he laces them up in

445
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: high school. So that's a you know, that's a big

446
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: thing for a parent, you know. So uh that And

447
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: then I coached fifth grade basketball. So we had our

448
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: first practice last night.

449
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: Oh fifth Okay, so coaching fifth grade basketball, Like what's

450
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: a practice? Like when you're coaching? But like, as a

451
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: guy with no kids, I think fifth grade basketball, and

452
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody running a mucket. Nobody really knows what's

453
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: going on.

454
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: So that's fourth grade. Oh, that's exactly fourth grade. I

455
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, it wasn't bad last night. The kids,

456
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: you know, the kids, the kids aren't bad like they

457
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: they you know, they improved over the over the summer.

458
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: I already put in like a couple of systems, like

459
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: we play a matchup zone that I put in last year.

460
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: I'm laughing because I remember like bending Figgy's ear about this,

461
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 2: and you know, about coaching the kids and and uh,

462
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: but they actually looked pretty good last night. I have

463
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: to tell you. I was like they remembered some of

464
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: the some of the comp some of the uh, some

465
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: of the concepts I called the my zone Pterodactyl. So

466
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 2: when when I go, guys defense, and I was just

467
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: making them run just to see what I got, and uh,

468
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: I go, are you guys you know you play? I

469
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: want you to play two three? They go, well, you

470
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: want to want us to play Taro to act all?

471
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: And I was proud of them and they and they

472
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 2: remember the concepts, and I was like, yeah, well we'll

473
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: get to it when the season starts.

474
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 1: I mean that is like it it's incredible that you

475
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: are here teaching concepts to fifth graders, Like I just,

476
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: I it's a wonder to me. The patience that you

477
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: must have to be able to do this is a wonder.

478
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: But I just it's hysterical. That's that's amazing. It is

479
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: so funny win or lose, Like does does the result?

480
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: Like how much does winning and losing as a result

481
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: matter to you as a coach at that age?

482
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: So I'll give you, like that's just half I want.

483
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: I want to really, I mean, the most thing that

484
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: I need the most is to teach the game right,

485
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: like hopefully that they go I'll probably have these kids

486
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 2: move up with them through like until eighth grade. So

487
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: I want. I want them to be able to play

488
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 2: high school if they want to, right to go in

489
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: and the better ones to go in, and you know,

490
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: to be able to go play varsity, Like but you should.

491
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: I want you to make your freshman team if you

492
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 2: love the game. So that's kind of where that's kind

493
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 2: of my mindset. And then like you know, it's fun

494
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: to win, Like I'm not gonna lie. Like we were

495
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 2: in a tournament and I had them and we came

496
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: in third. We lost in the Semis, and you know,

497
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a fun little run.

498
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: I think it's always interesting to me because I've got

499
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: a few friends that do what you do and they're

500
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: out there coaching kids. But b I went down sort

501
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: of the rabbit hole of some old samanisms this week

502
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: when I was meeting with some people and there was

503
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: an extensive period where he was talking about the worst

504
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: thing that happens in sports is the results. Essentially, I'm

505
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: paraphrasing savings, yeah, smarter, but essentially saying, wins and losses

506
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: become such the focus that we stop focusing on what

507
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: really matters, which is the process essentially, and if you

508
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: are worried about being your best and not the best,

509
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: you're focused on yourself and through that process, you grow

510
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: to be the best version of yourself, which is how

511
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: you actually win. And it was a very interesting concept

512
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: because I think he's right in the sense that we

513
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: do because like we were just talking about who's actually

514
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: good in the NFL, well with the losses are what

515
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: we focus on because hey, this team's only lost a

516
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: couple of games that that has to mean something. But

517
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: I also think that in the process of trying to

518
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: achieve greatness, you know, it means more that you are

519
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: running that process. So I just thought it'd be interesting

520
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: talking you know.

521
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: That now it's a great question I ask the kids. Yeah,

522
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: I'd really like to just you know, I love the

523
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: you know, I love all sports, so I kind of

524
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: want to teach it. And you know, it's fun. You know,

525
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: it's fun. It's fun for that, like go out and

526
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: watch that. Like I could see the improvement, you know,

527
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: from last year. And so when you see the kids

528
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: improve and you know, feel good and they like it,

529
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: and I'm you know, so that's it. It's a nice teake. Figgi,

530
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: How was your week?

531
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 3: Week was good for the most part.

532
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 4: I'm still dealing with this hellish kitchener model that's taken

533
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 4: five million years to finish, which anybody that owned the

534
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 4: home and done renovations knows how these situations go.

535
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: So it has not been the most fun.

536
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 4: I think we're kind of in the final, the final

537
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 4: leg here, but I thought that three weeks ago, so

538
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 4: we'll see.

539
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 3: But overall, not too bad. GOTSA.

540
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 4: The niece's in town, so I had a chance to

541
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 4: spend some time with her. I ended up watching as

542
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 4: much Bluey as I did watching football this week.

543
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: But that's quite all right.

544
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 4: So it's been a outside of the kitchen situation has

545
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 4: been a pretty fun week.

546
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny, Cherish is now all right because it's

547

596
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: let's look at some college football, the state of college

597
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: football and win. Where are we at as we? I

598
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: think we all agreed that Michigan would take care of

599
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: Penn State. And you know it was just about that game.

600
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: Is you know, I throw it eight times and they

601
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: could have won that game by forty and yet they

602
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: didn't throw it at all in the second hand FITZI, yeah, I.

603
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: Thought that was just sort of an interesting And we

604
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: see this very rarely in games, but sometimes you see

605
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: a team come out and say I know exactly how

606
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat you, and I know you can't stop it.

607
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: And that's what I took out of that, like there

608
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: was such a level of dominance too, Like you know,

609
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: there's a difference between we're running the ball because we're

610
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: limited on the other side, versus we're running the ball

611
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: because we simply know there's nothing you can do about it.

612
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the most up yours,

613
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: like we're gonna be physical and we're gonna send this

614
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: message and we're just gonna pound this aggression out football

615
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: has I've seen in a long time. I was surprised because, look,

616
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: I thought JJ McCarthy was gonna have a big Heisman

617
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: opportunity in that game to step up, and instead the

618
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: game really wasn't in his hands all and Michigan went

619
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: out there just dominated. So they're able to just keep

620
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: everything close to the vest as they get ready for

621
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State next weekend, right like they can't, you know,

622
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: Maryland can't be a trap game this week. But I

623
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: thought that was a big, big It was a big,

624
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: big moment. But I also do because you and I

625
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: I think couldgreed last week that I kind of expected

626
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: Michigan would come out with the thunder of the gods

627
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: in Penn State would just have to take the body

628
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: blows from that. I do think Penn State did a

629
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: much better job than I expected of staying in that

630
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: game given the all the emotion that Michigan had on

631
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: their side.

632
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I do, I agree, fake yeah, And look,

633
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 4: even I know James Franklin got some incoming for his

634
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 4: decision making going forward and fourth down, you're going for two.

635
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna say that stuff didn't matter, but

636
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: ultimately I don't think it really mattered, to be honest

637
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: with the Michigan Yeah, they dominated them up front from

638
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 4: from a start to finish.

639
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: It wasn't gonna make it.

640
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: And to your point, Michigan knew they can be as

641
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: vanilla as possible and they didn't have to, you know,

642
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: pull out all the stops and do any trick plays

643
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: or throw the ball very much.

644
00:30:59,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: What's the point.

645
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: Why would you put anything extra on tape for Ohio

646
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: State when you don't need to. So I think they knew,

647
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 4: whether it was that then nine ten points, whatever it was,

648
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 4: Kenn State just didn't have whatever word you want to

649
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: use offensively to really mount any sort of offensive thread.

650
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 4: And that and that was the case and honestly has

651
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: been the case for Penn State this season whenever they've

652
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 4: faced any sort of top competition.

653
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's a level of just so much

654
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: that you're like, you're going to be in the game.

655
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: And you know, it's interesting because that game was played

656
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: at home. I don't know if it's under the lights,

657
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: you know, there's a different vibe to it. You know,

658
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: maybe maybe they're in the game, they're not winning the game.

659
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Now.

660
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 4: I think like offensive line great offensive lines and running games.

661
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: Defensive lines they travel well. So the way that the

662
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 4: way Michigan won that game, Yeah, they could have played

663
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: that game on Pluto.

664
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: I don't think it would yeah, the same way.

665
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I feel you, And I ultimately that was

666
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: my point that you know, is there ever a way

667
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: that you're gonna you're gonna get to that point where

668
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: you can play with the Michigan and beat that Michigan team?

669
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: Not now, not now at all. Let's look at where

670
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: we are, all right, FITSI let's go. Let's look at

671
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: all the teams really in this uh race? Okay for

672
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: the four spots. Let's go to eight teams in four spots.

673
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: Let's start off with Alabama. So, Alabama, where are you

674
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: at with Bama. Now Milroe has looked fantastic. I mean

675
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: they actually look really really good. Where are you at

676
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: with Bama?

677
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bama is hot at the right time. And you know,

678
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm the one I feel like all year has been

679
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: trying to leave him for dead, and all they've done

680
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: is continually show that they shouldn't be on that on

681
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: that dead list. And now everything's right in front of him.

682
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: I Mean, if Bama wins out, they're going to the playoffs.

683
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: So the question is can they beat Georgia. Right, that's

684
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: not like I know the iron bowls, ey eye. It

685
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: could happen, sure, Okay, but this really becomes about Alabama

686
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: versus Georgia, and we all know that. The interesting thing

687
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: about Milroe is that he's throwing the ball so aggressively.

688
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: And look, we really saw this against tell issue. They're

689
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: pulling so much back on the defensive side of the

690
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: ball to try and stop these deep balls because he's

691
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: just recklessly throwing the ball down there and it's working. Right,

692
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: So then all of a sudden, if you've got all

693
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: your safeties back and everybody's back and everybody's looking for

694
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: the deep ball in the middle of the field, has

695
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: just been left open the last several weeks for Milroe

696
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: to just run around. So it's like the two things

697
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: he's doing are hard to defend at the same time

698
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: until somebody figures out how to either get at him

699
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: and get him down or somebody figures out how to

700
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: spy him more effectively. So I trust George's defense when

701
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: these two teams play in a couple of weeks for

702
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship Game to bring this whole thing to

703
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: an end. But I don't know, man, Like, right now,

704
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: there's a pretty compelling argument that Milroe wildly has played

705
00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: himself into Heisman candidate consideration. And I cannot believe I'm saying.

706
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: And that's for somebody that was benched earlier this year.

707
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I cannot wait for that football game. December second,

708
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: is the SEC Championship game. Figin Wow, I mean, all

709
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: of a sudden, that game looks like it's gonna be

710
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: a great one.

711
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 4: It does, and like this might be one of Nick Sabans,

712
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 4: if not his best coaching job at Alabama. Considering how

713
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 4: the season started, what the expectations were coming in. People

714
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: thought like, ah, maybe they'll win ten games, they'll go

715
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 4: to a new year six. Most people didn't think they

716
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 4: were going to have a chance to win the SEC

717
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 4: this year, especially after the year started, you know, the

718
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 4: close wins against South Florida early in the year, Mirror

719
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: getting benched, and for them to have turned it around

720
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 4: mid stream the way that they have, and for as

721
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 4: you guys mentioned, for Miro to play as well as

722
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 4: he's played, I think it's absolutely amazing. Still considering that

723
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 4: they don't have the greatest skilled position players you know,

724
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 4: this year, so they have the great playmakers, but they're

725
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 4: finding ways to be able to win games in like

726
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 4: typical Alabama fashion. I don't think they're going to beat

727
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 4: Georgia personally, but the fact that they're even in the

728
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: conversation and they're going to Atlanta as a testament to

729
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 4: Nick Saban and that coaching staff and what they've done

730
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 4: this year considering how people kind of left them for

731
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 4: dead after the first couple of weeks of the season.

732
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's amazing, all right, the analyst continues, We're

733
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: gonna go through the top eight teams where we stand,

734
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 2: and we just did Alabama. We will go through back

735
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: to the NFL. We got lots to do. Fellas just

742
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 2: I need a ruling from you. I need to find

743
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: out what you what you think? I remember what figgy things.

744
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 2: But we're gonna we're gonna throw us out a little bit.

745
00:35:54,840 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 2: The Christmas lights pre Thanksgiving? Are you cool with that?

746
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: Fits? Yeah?

747
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look so there's a couple of things

748
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: on this number one. You know that with some of

749
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: the Christmas lyrics, like I wish it was Christmas every day,

750
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: that's the sentiment. So look if people want to make

751
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: you Christmas every day, like I can't sing those songs

752
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: at Christmas time unless I'm okay with it. But then

753
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: the other part of it, as I say all the time,

754
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: we have to remember, what do you do at halftime

755
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: of a game? You sit down with your buddies, You

756
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: have a drink, you have some food, you catch up

757
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: with everybody, have a nice little time like that. And

758
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: what is Thanksgiving? You sit down with friends and family,

759
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: have some food, some drinks, you have a nice time

760
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: to catch up with everybody. Thanksgiving is halftime at the

761
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: Christmas season, so I got no problem. We're putting Christmas

762
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: up and putting Christmas around right at the beginning of November.

763
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: It's just for Thanksgiving week. Like I usually for that week,

764
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: I'd like to, you know, maybe turn the lights off

765
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I've for years Thanksgiving night was

766
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: always the big like plug in the lights, and that

767
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: was always the big like announced to the world that

768
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: the Griswolds are here sort of moment. So yeah, you know,

769
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in for it. I just think you gotta

770
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: press pause on the lights and the music and everything

771
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: for a couple of days around Thankskimming Figie.

772
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, I do nothing Christmas related until after

773
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: things Thanksgiving night.

774
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 3: I'll give you Black Friday.

775
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 4: Sure, but this playing Christmas carols and having lights flashing

776
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 4: on a lower place in Santa Cruis walking up and

777
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 4: down the street on November eighth. You missed me with

778
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: that absolutely not not feeling it. I mean, I was

779
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: walking around, I don't know where. I think I was

780
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 4: with in Costco.

781
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: With my wife. You cracked me up and This was

782
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 3: like October thirtieth or twenty.

783
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 4: It wasn't even Halloween, and they had three entire aidols

784
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 4: that dedicated to Christmas.

785
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: Well, there was a commercial. Do you remember the TV commercial?

786
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: I think I brought up to you guys. This was

787
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: pre Halloween. There was a Christmas commercial, and.

788
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 3: It's like, what are we doing? So we had hell

789
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: one holiday at a time.

790
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: Look here's the thing. A couple of years ago, you

791
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: know Spirit Halloween. You guys know I'm a big Halloween chunk.

792
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Spirit Halloween. The day after Halloween, everything goes

793
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: half off, sometimes even bigger. And so a couple of

794
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: years ago, I'm in Connecticut, I'm at the Spirit Halloween

795
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: and I am just buying. I'm buying the place out

796
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: and it's like the day after Halloween. I'm just buying.

797
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm cramming all of their like sit the whatever that

798
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: the display animatronics that are even cheaper, Like, I'm cramming

799
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: that stuff in the car. And I'm looking around like,

800
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: why are people staring at me right now? Is I

801
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: cram all these things I bought into the car in

802
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: And I realized it's because the car, like all the

803
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: doors and everything were open as I'm cramming things in

804
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: and Mariah Carrie's Christmas was blaring while I was doing it.

805
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: November first is when Christmas music starts from me, Spigi,

806
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: you would not go on along road trip with me

807
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: because right now half of my channels on my my

808
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: it's all the like serious sex and m put all.

809
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: Of the waw it cut it all up.

810
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: It's all up.

811
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

812
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 2: And so you I like your concept of the pause,

813
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 2: the Thanksgiving pause.

814
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, like I'm gonna pause like the I won't

815
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: turn any lights on.

816
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 3: I won't.

817
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: I won't play any music probably Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but

818
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: then Friday because I will inevitably get up for Black

819
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: Friday deals even though I don't need anything. I just like,

820
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: you know, I'm all in on getting up early and

821
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: going out into the masses in like a Christmas onesie

822
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: and just experiencing the chaos and Black Friday. Yeah, like

823
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: there's a there's a full kickoff for me. Oh like

824
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: I am whatever. You think the worst of all of

825
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: these holidays is, that's me basically, like I'm right in

826
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: on all of it.

827
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: It's fabulous.

828
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I won't but grudge somebody else doing

829
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 4: what they want, and that's fine, fancy. I'll just sit

830
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 4: in the back of the car with my headphones on

831
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 4: and listen to something else. That's that's how it'll work.

832
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: We will sing. We will sing with everybody in the car.

833
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: Because Christmas and the cheer was meant to be shared.

834
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 3: You can find a way to coexist. It's all right,

835
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 3: doesn't get it's.

836
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,959
Speaker 2: Too beautiful, man. I think that's fat. I think that's

837
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: just absolutely fabious. The one thing I will say, because

838
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: you're right, I don't want to. I don't want to

839
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 2: motor pants. Thanksgiving, like, Thanksgiving deserves some love because it is.

840
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: It is great.

841
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 3: It's great.

842
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: How they my only beef around Thanksgiving is they came

843
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: out a new Thanksgiving Day slasher movie Thanksgiving. I go like,

844
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: do we need a slasher Thanksgiving movie?

845
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 4: We can't get we get a sequel to Planes, Trains

846
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 4: and Automobiles or something.

847
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: Right exactly, we got what we gotta people, Moe Turkey, Black, Christmas, Halloween,

848
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: Now we have Thanksgiving.

873
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 2: weeks are really a ton of fun, and that'll kind

874
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: of set the stage for the conference championship games, and

875
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 2: ultimately we're not going to know really the final four

876
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: until after those games.

877
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in sort of a best case scenario. Like

878
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: it's funny when you just mentioned the college football Playoff.

879
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: I keep saying this, but I have to remind everybody

880
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: that this is the absolute best thing that could happen

881
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: to college football the year before the playoffs, because usually

882
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: by now we have a pretty good idea of who

883
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: our top four are, or at least three of our

884
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: top four, and we're sitting here sort of arguing about

885
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: the semantics of which team could separate at the very end.

886
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: But right now, as you look at the college football

887
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: playoff and try and predict who's going to make it,

888
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: what's particularly interesting to me, honestly, is that it's pretty

889
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: easy to find a loss for Georgia if you look

890
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: at that Alabama loss a matchup, pretty easy to find

891
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: a loss for Ohio State Michigan. Obviously they're going to

892
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: play each other. Florida State still has a game left

893
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: against Louisville, who's now the number ten ten in the country.

894
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: Washington still has to play we presume Oregon and presuming

895
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: everything goes to plan, so Washington and Oregon would be

896
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: this huge epic matchup. So I right now, if you

897
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: had to sit here and say, hey, build the top

898
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: four and how they're gonna be, I think more often

899
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: than not, most of us would be wrong. And that's

900
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: a great thing about where the football is right now.

901
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: It really is, you know. I mean, it's funny because

902
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: I look at it and I go, I can make

903
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 2: a case for a bunch of teams that they could

904
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: go on a run and win this thing. Like there's

905
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: not one team. Look, Georgia last year was clearly better

906
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: than everybody else. I mean, it was Georgian and it

907
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: was everybody else. Georgia this year is good. It's not

908
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: Georgia last year. It's sort of like what Figgy said,

909
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, he was talking about the Eagles, or one

910
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: of you guys are talking about the Eagles saying, you know,

911
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: they're good, but are they last year's Eagles?

912
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this version of Georgia at least has come

913
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: to life the last couple of weeks. That's the only

914
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: thing that I can look at and say, hey, you know,

915
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: maybe he won two in a row. I know it's

916
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: a shot at the three peat and Saban's never done that.

917
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: That's the motivating factor. But it really has felt like

918
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: mostly a checked out team this year, right, and then

919
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks they've just come in and

920
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: whooped up on people. So, you know, will the best

921
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've seen top to bottom the

922
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: best that Georgia can be against a great team this year. Obviously.

923
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: I think when we see that it is going to

924
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: put Alabama in their place, I think that. I just

925
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: also think that it's probably pretty fools goal for me

926
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: this year and bet against Nick Saban, so willy nilly,

927
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: like I can, I can say that on both sides

928
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: of my mouth. So I think Georgia still has the

929
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: chance to prove that they are as at least on

930
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: par with where last year was. But so far this

931
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: year they have seemed like that team that just they

932
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: know where they're headed. They're headed to the SEC Championship game.

933
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: They'll get it figured out there, then they'll head to

934
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: the playoff and so there's or to incruise control, which

935
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: is alarmed.

936
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 3: Did you see the line for this week?

937
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: No, for Georgia Alabama it's out.

938
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: No, No, I haven't seen it yet.

939
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 2: So take a guess what the line.

940
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: Is, Dama by five or sorry, Georgia by five.

941
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 2: Fake?

942
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 3: I would have said Georgia by three and a half.

943
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 2: Oh, you guys are good, You guys are good. Let

944
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: me just split the difference. George is a four point favorite.

945
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: Oh, look at that.

946
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: You guys killed it. George is a four point favorite.

947
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: But what that tells me is and I think that

948
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: line's a good line. Georgia by four. Meansky, Alabama's I mean,

949
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 2: Alabama's in this game. Alabama can win this game. They're

950
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: gonna be less than a two to one under dog.

951
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: Are we Are we going to be in a spot

952
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: where like people are rooting for Alabama, Like I cannot

953
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: believe this, but have we become I'm so, you know,

954
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: Blase on the greatness of back to back possibly back

955
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: to back to back, there's actually like a whole group

956
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: of people rooting for Alabama.

957
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 3: That's interesting. I think there is. Yeah, I think.

958
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 4: Alabama's kind of turned into a semi feel good story.

959
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 4: Oh man, ten twelve years, i'd ever say that.

960
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for that. I'm not ready for Alabama

961
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: suddenly taking the heels a baby face turn. Like this

962
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: is a very very eighties wrestling moment here where I'm

963
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: looking at it and I'm like, man, I know I've

964
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: spent the last two years hating this person in the ring,

965
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, like not wait, wait,

966
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: so now Hulk Hogan's a bad guy, Like that's the

967
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: the only like, that's how big it's the opposite. But

968
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: that's how big a turn it would be for Alabama

969
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: to suddenly be the beloved team everybody's looking for to

970
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: sort of change the changing of the card in college

971
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 1: football being Alabama.

972
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 2: Good lord, that's crazy. I mean, all of a sudden,

973
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: it would be like the Yankees being like, you're sympathetic

974
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 2: for him, right, You're right? Like, think about how nuts

975
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: that is. But it's the truth because in that matchup,

976
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 2: you're saying, well, I mean, you know what a good story?

977
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 4: No road Saban, I mean, are we you know, yes,

978
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 4: not a star stutter roster.

979
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: Right, there's no Yo Wattles and Smith's and all those.

980
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 3: Guys Anderson's guys like that.

981
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he said the Fido, you know, I mean,

982
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: Georgia's had a great run. It's kind of interesting, be

983
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 2: kind of interesting to see if Bama could upset down

984
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 2: and what it would like, what would be like if

985
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: Alabama upset them?

986
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, I mean, looking as great as this Georgia

987
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 4: has been this year, they've certainly had their share of hiccups.

988
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 4: I mean that Missouri game but essentially came down down

989
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 4: right right down to the wire till the defensive lineman

990
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 4: got an interception towards the end. Ole Miss was ole Miss.

991
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 4: So you kind of expect that to happen to them

992
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 4: whenever they're playing against a quality opponent. So what you

993
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 4: can say about that, I mean, well, they got pushed

994
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 4: earlier in the year against all Burn.

995
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 3: South Carolina got out to a big lead against them.

996
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: So it's almost like, as great as Georgia is and

997
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 4: they seem to be coming on a bit of late,

998
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 4: they still seem to be a bit vulnerable. So that's

999
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: why it's not out of the roman possibility that Alabama

1000
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 4: can get them, or somebody else in the playoff can

1001
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 4: potentially get them. To your point, they're not the dominant

1002
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 4: Georgia team from last year.

1003
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: Well, I know, I know Ole Miss is gonta hole Miss,

1004
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: but that was a putt wooman. It was, I know.

1005
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: And then like remember going into the Kentucky game, Kentucky

1006
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: had just run the football effectively and so it was like, oh,

1007
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Kentucky can do something here. That was a

1008
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: putt wooman. It just it feels like right now, Georgia

1009
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: is the kid that's like they're on the playground and

1010
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: they can beat everybody up and they're just not trying.

1011
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: And so like I know, that's giving a lot of forgiveness.

1012
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: Let's see what it looks like against Tennessee. But even that,

1013
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: like this version of Tennessee is not who Tennessee was

1014
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: last year. Like you know, as I know, Tennessee is

1015
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 1: sitting here at number eighteen. But I think it's pretty

1016
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: fair to label Tennessee season as a bit of a

1017
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: disappointment this year.

1018
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: They haven't, oh I agree wholeheartily.

1019
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 4: Yes, Well, the only thing for Tennessee and when Georgia

1020
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 4: has had problems this year, it's when teams have been

1021
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 4: able to run the ball on them. And so Tennessee

1022
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 4: is one of the best running teams in the country,

1023
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 4: which is a flip from last year when they were

1024
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 4: one of the best passing offenses in the country. So

1025
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 4: if they are, and I don't think they will, but

1026
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 4: if they are going to have success and have a

1027
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 4: chance to win this afternoon, it'll be because they're able

1028
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 4: to run the ball against Georgia. Georgia has been much

1029
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 4: more stout these last last month or so save for

1030
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 4: the Missouri game up front, And I just don't trust

1031
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 4: Joe Milton more than anything, even at Tennessee's able to

1032
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 4: run the ball silidly. I don't Joe Milton's gonna have

1033
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 4: to be able to make plays to be able to

1034
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 4: beat Georgia, and I don't trust him to be able

1035
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 4: to do that.

1036
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was actually going to say the same thing, like, look,

1037
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: I believe that Joe Milton is going to make two

1038
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: or three plays in this game that win the game

1039
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: for Georgia. I mean, it's just like he is going

1040
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: to make two or three plays where you sit there

1041
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: and say, what in the hell are you doing and

1042
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: it's going to cost them in the game. Like I

1043
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: just I don't trust that he's going to have to

1044
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: have a couple of highlight real moments for Tennessee to

1045
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: win this football game. And I think, unfortunately for the kid,

1046
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be highlight real moments for Georgia's defense.

1047
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: So you know Milton's gonna So far this year, there

1048
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: have been some big accuracy issues on deep throws, there

1049
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 1: have been some dumb throws, and there's been some holding

1050
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: the ball on trying to be a superhero like you

1051
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: add all those things together, that is going to be

1052
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: a disaster I think for them in this game.

1053
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally see that. All right.

1054
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: So we in case you just joined us, we've been

1055
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: going through kind of the contenders in college football. Will

1056
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: give you the top eight and we started with Bama

1057
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 2: at eight. Number seven is Texas at nine to one.

1058
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: Con Texas somehow sneak in is the question, FITZI, where

1059
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 2: are you at?

1060
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: With Holcolm warns, Yeah, Unfortunately, I wish I could come

1061
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: in and say, oh, yeah, Texas is gonna get there.

1062
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know why I decided to use that outside

1063
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: while I said that, by the way, I feel like

1064
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't full like, Look, I played country music last

1065
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: night and this is what happens. I think realistically, The

1066
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: problem for Texas is that they just don't have the

1067
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: real estate ahead of them. They don't have the opportunity

1068
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: when you start talking about one loss teams and everybody's

1069
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to take losses all over the place, and

1070
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: then at some point it'll be about the resume of

1071
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: the one loss teams and you know, just the the

1072
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: almost weekly reminder here that the College Football Playoff Committee

1073
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: does not consider where the team was ranked when you

1074
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: play them. They consider where the team is ranked at

1075
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: the end of the season when they view your schedules.

1076
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: So you know, win over Oklahoma doesn't look near as

1077
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: good if Oklahoma isn't any good. Win over Kansas, who

1078
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: I love, But Kansas has been up and down a

1079
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, they're sort of teering in and

1080
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: out of that top twenty five. So like some of

1081
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: these wins just aren't good enough. Then they'll have Ohio

1082
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: State Texas Tech the next couple of weeks. That's not

1083
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: enough to get you anywhere. So I just I don't

1084
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: think the runways there. I don't think Texas has a

1085
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: shot at the College FOOTBA Playoff.

1086
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 4: They would need too much. Can they need chaos to

1087
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 4: happen in front of them for that to happen. That

1088
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: that's the issue.

1089
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 2: With what happens if Bama beats Georgia.

1090
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 4: Don't you think that Georgia, even with the loss Tobama

1091
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 4: still can make it in and yore that's the problem.

1092
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 3: Georgia has that built in for them. Well, they can lose.

1093
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: I think I think a one loss Like I know

1094
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: people are gonna hate this, but a one loss Alabama

1095
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 1: team will go in over a one lost Texas team

1096
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: even though Texas.

1097
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 2: Well, it would have won that, it would have won

1098
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 2: the SEC championship.

1099
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 1: Correct, and you'd have the best at that point going

1100
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 1: into the SEC Championship. You're going into presumably the number

1101
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: one team in the country. You beat the number one

1102
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: team in the country in Georgia, in the state of Georgia,

1103
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: like that is going to that'll have weight with the committee.

1104
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 3: So yeah to the committee though too.

1105
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 4: And I know, like you know who you beat and

1106
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 4: when you beat, the matters and conference champions matter. Can

1107
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 4: we talk about the current state of the playoffs and

1108
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 4: how they held. Florida State is ahead of Washington that

1109
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 4: if you're telling me that, yeah, what resume does Florida

1110
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 4: State have nobody?

1111
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: No one I have. I have yelled about this on

1112
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: Yahoo stuff all week that you know, every single metrics

1113
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: strength to schedule, strength of resume, which is you know,

1114
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: or strength the record, which for anyone that doesn't know,

1115
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: there's an algorithm that basically says the average top twenty

1116
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: five team, how would they how would they perform on

1117
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: the same schedule. These are things that the Committee Control

1118
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: looks at game control. These are all like metrics that

1119
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: are given to the Committee to consider, and in every

1120
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: one of those metrics, Washington is ahead of Florida State.

1121
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: So the only reason I can figure out that they've

1122
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: put Florida State ahead is just closed. And I don't

1123
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: like that answer, Like just beclose, isn't it? Like I

1124
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: know that Washington's defense hasn't necessarily been lights out, and

1125
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Committee chair Book Corgan came out and

1126
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: said last week that Florida State is a more balanced

1127
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: football team, and it's like, Okay, what the hell does

1128
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: that mean? Like it's not more balanced to be able

1129
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: to do the things you want a football team to

1130
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: do better because they don't have a better game control

1131
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: than I'm better strength to sced than have better anything.

1132
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Florida State and four is a

1133
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 1: joke over Washington.

1134
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 4: It's easier to be more balanced when you're playing Syracuse.

1135
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 4: You know you're not playing Arizona, who's by the way,

1136
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 4: ranked seventeenth and one of the hottest teams in the country,

1137
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 4: Utah twenty second, Oregon number six. So let me get

1138
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 4: this straight. Washington beat Oregon, who you have ranked at

1139
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 4: number six. You respect them that much, but you don't

1140
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 4: respect them enough to have Washington ahead of Florida State,

1141
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 4: who's only top twenty five win against LSU in week one, who.

1142
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 3: Fifteen. It makes no sense.

1143
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't, No, it doesn't. It's a shame because

1144
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 2: quite frankly, I test Washington and Oregon better than Florida

1145
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 2: State easily. Texas is better than Florida at.

1146
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 4: Worst Florida State in Washington on a on a neutral

1147
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 4: field as a pick them, I honestly I think I

1148
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 4: probably have Washington by.

1149
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: Washington that game. I don't take Washington. If you give

1150
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: me a pick, I would bet Washington.

1151
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 3: That game same they played better competition.

1152
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 4: They might not be as quote unquote balance, but you

1153
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 4: have to factor in the fact that they play better

1154
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 4: competition than Florida State has and maybe that's why they've

1155
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 4: struggled at times.

1156
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 3: They is good.

1157
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: Like, at what point do we say, okay, well, Florida

1158
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: State's defense has looked, you know better. Okay, it's been

1159
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: against obviously lesser opponents. But then the other side of

1160
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 1: his Washington's quarterback has looked much better than Florida State's quarterback.

1161
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: And I thought we lived in a world where that mattered. Also,

1162
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: so it's a pick and choos And I love your

1163
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: Oregon point, by the way, like I just repeating over

1164
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: and over and over again, Washington has right now the

1165
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: best win of any team in the country according to

1166
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: the Committee, because they beat Oregon. Nobody has beaten a

1167
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: team according to the Committee that is better than Oregon.

1168
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: They are the highest of the one loss team. So

1169
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: by just that very fact that the Committee has told

1170
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: you how much they love Oregon, how can they do that?

1171
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: You Bury, Washington? It just feels like they're not paying

1172
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: attention or they're waiting for football to take care of itself.

1173
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 4: So the interesting thing is if this stance pat and everything,

1174
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 4: everybody wins the way they're supposed to this weekend, does

1175
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 4: Washington jump them? Because this weekend Florida State's playing North

1176
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 4: Alabama and Washington is playing on the road at Oregon State,

1177
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 4: who's eleventh.

1178
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's I do think they I think they jumped.

1179
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 2: That's another bit, like you know, you win that game,

1180
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 2: you go to Corvallis and win that game, that's a

1181
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 2: big moist shoe. That's another monster winning your resumes, which,

1182
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 2: by the.

1183
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 4: Way, I gotta tell you, I'm if I'm a Husky fan,

1184
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 4: if I'm Lincoln Kennedy, I'm sweating.

1185
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 2: I'm sweating a lot of Pac twelve.

1186
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 4: Want to be Pack twelve champions hopes have died in

1187
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 4: Corvallis later this season the last decade.

1188
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's a nasty place, man, It's dangerous.

1189
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: I completely agree. Coming back, let's we'll come back. We'll

1190
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 2: take a look at, you know, where we stand, what

1191
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 2: happens if Georgia Alabama and then the Ohio State Michigan game,

1192
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,439
Speaker 2: which will have all the ramifications we got to talk

1193
00:56:55,440 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: about that where it all shakes out and it really

1194
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 2: tells you that the big story, which is, hey, we

1195
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 2: need a playoff that's bigger. So thank god that's coming

1204
00:57:53,120 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 2: happens between Ohio State and Michigan and which cinnai? How

1205
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: does that affect the overall situation? So you gotta believe,

1206
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 2: first of all, who do you like in the game?

1207
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: FITSI I think I like Ohio State. I think I

1208
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I've gone back and forth on this one

1209
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: all the time, but I do believe that not having

1210
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: your head coach has some consequence in that football game, right,

1211
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's one thing to stress from the outset,

1212
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: even if it's just keeping JJ McCarthy calm through all

1213
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: of it, even if it's just part of the communications

1214
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: small decisions to go through the game. I think Harball

1215
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: Nott being there is pretty significant. But there is a

1216
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: moment where because it is not. We talked about has

1217
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: it looked as good, right, because I think there were

1218
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: pretty lofty expectations and there always are at the quarterback

1219
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: position for Ohio State. We sometimes forget that Ohio State

1220
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: still has weapons that can get open against absolutely anybody, anywhere, anytime.

1221
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm leaning Ohio State in this game.

1222
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: But man, I think this one's a coin flip, and

1223
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: I think will be all the way up until kickoff.

1224
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 2: So it's interesting. I asked you earlier about Georgia Bama.

1225
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 2: What do you think the line is? The line is

1226
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 2: out for Ohio State Michigan. What do you think that

1227
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 2: line is.

1228
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save four and a half Ohio State?

1229
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 2: Fig, I actually would I remember remember this, remember where

1230
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 2: the game is.

1231
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the big House, so it's.

1232
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: In the n R. Right, Yeah, two and a half.

1233
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm changing them two and a half. I was gonna say.

1234
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 2: I would say one almost to pick them, so you

1235
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 2: guys will be shocked. You guys nailed Bama Georgia. This

1236
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 2: one a little off Michigan. Five and a half. That's

1237
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 2: fat five and a half Michigan.

1238
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: I guys, take this segment. I'm about to go to

1239
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: place exactly.

1240
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm on State right now before that line moves in.

1241
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 4: Geez as you like Ohio State outright, And that would

1242
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 4: have been regardless of the Connor stallions, whether or not

1243
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 4: Harball's on the sideline or not, just based on the

1244
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 4: way these teams are built. I also feel like Michigan

1245
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 4: really hadn't been challenged all season long, and Ohio State,

1246
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 4: when we talked about them struggling earlier on in the

1247
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 4: season before they put it together. They're kind of battle

1248
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 4: tested at this point and they've won in multiple ways.

1249
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 4: I mean, you go all the way back to that

1250
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 4: Notre Dame game, nip and tuck, physical game up front,

1251
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 4: they were able to get a victory on the goal

1252
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 4: line at the very end. Rutgers was beating them up

1253
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 4: up front that entire game, but they found a way

1254
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 4: to cut it through for some turnovers. I think this

1255
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 4: is a grittier Ohio State team. On top of the fact,

1256
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 4: what fits mentioned that they have weapons on the outside

1257
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 4: that Michigan hasn't seen all season long. So they are

1258
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 4: tough upfront unlike they have been in years past, and

1259
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 4: they have the weapons on the outside. So I would

1260
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 4: have liked Ohio State coming into this game, regardless of

1261
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 4: all of the Michigan Shenanigans.

1262
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 3: It's interesting.

1263
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 2: Now the Penn State, you know, Penn State, I mean

1264
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 2: they played the Ohio State tough. Michigan, you know, kind

1265
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 2: of rolled them that the Ohio State game was at

1266
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State. So I hear you, like the Ohio State

1267
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 2: skilled people are really really good. I mean you're throwing Marvin.

1268
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 2: I mean they got everybody man that thing. That thing's

1269
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: they're nasty. Now, the one issue is is McCord ready

1270
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 2: to go into the big house and win.

1271
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair question to ask. But also

1272
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what Figie was saying about, especially

1273
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: with Marmon Rison Junior being as good as he is, Like,

1274
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: I just are we are We're expecting McCord to go

1275
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: in and do all the heavy lifting. I just think

1276
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: all he has to do is not screw it, uh right, Like,

1277
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna be.

1278
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 2: The focal point though, right, Like you're gonna throw it

1279
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 2: with with that burial attack and Wade Michigan plays the

1280
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 2: run like you gotta go challenge Michigan through the air,

1281
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 2: so it's on his shoulder.

1282
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 4: Well, I'll say that if they're not able to run

1283
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 4: at least a little bit, and Travion Henderson is come

1284
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 4: on the last month, they're not gonna win. I'm expecting

1285
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 4: Trevion Henderson and I'm not looking. I'm expecting gon to run

1286
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 4: for four hundred yards or anything, or to even one

1287
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty yards, but at least a respectable enough

1288
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 4: on the ground. Do I think Cole mccorr can make

1289
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 4: enough plays? Yes, But if you're asking me in, can

1290
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 4: com mccor go in and throw for three hundred and

1291
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 4: sixty yards and four touchdowns to win?

1292
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 3: No?

1293
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 2: No, See, I think he's going to add maybe not

1294
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 2: three sixty, but I think he's gonna have to throw

1295
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 2: for two seventy five and he's gonna have to throw

1296
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 2: for two or three touchdowns.

1297
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, look, he didn't have the touchdowns. But I

1298
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: went back and pulled the numbers because I tried to

1299
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: take a look at what he did, remembering the game

1300
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: against Notre Dame. Was at Notre Dame with all that

1301
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: moment to him in the middle of the night at night,

1302
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: he was twenty one to thirty seven for two hundred

1303
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: and forty yards. Like, I think that's sort of travion

1304
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: in that game, fourteen carries one hundred and four yards,

1305
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Like they kept that thing low scoring, which I think

1306
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: they can do again in this situation. So I think

1307
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: Kyle McCort twenty one a thirty seven to two forty,

1308
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: can he throw a touchdown in there? Also? Yeah, I

1309
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that, Like, I think I think

1310
01:02:58,720 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: he's capable of that.

1311
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I can. I think you do

1312
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 4: a little bit better. Good boys.

1313
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 2: I just honestly, I just feel like, remember the Michigan

1314
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 2: defense compared to another Dame defense, to being at home,

1315
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 2: like if the game was at OHIOA State, I might

1316
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 2: feel a little differently with what you're saying, but and

1317
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 2: looking at the matchups.

1318
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 3: Well, I have to throw it.

1319
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 4: I'll also say this the Michigan defense, and I don't

1320
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 4: want to begrudge them at all. What's the best offensive

1321
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 4: team they've played this year? It's a fair point they

1322
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 4: are all terrible. Every offense in the Big Ten outside

1323
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 4: of Ohio State is awful. Every last one of them

1324
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 4: are like ranked in like the nineties and lower.

1325
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 3: So Michigan Dewenton.

1326
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: State offense wasn't a big old barrel to suck that

1327
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: came like that Penn State was ticking around even though

1328
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: their offense was a liability of that.

1329
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 4: Correct, So I'm not trying to take away and like

1330
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 4: people like Michigan hasn't allowed anybody into the red zone

1331
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,479
Speaker 4: for and that's great, but you wouldn't if you're playing

1332
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 4: against Nebraska and Minnesota and Indiana A fair point. So

1333
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 4: I think you're kind of like competition Michigan has played

1334
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 4: all season long and not and say that that factor

1335
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 4: is into at least part of the reason why their

1336
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 4: defense has been good. Not that their defense isn't good,

1337
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 4: they just haven't been challenged because none of the offense

1338
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 4: they've played have been good either.

1339
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 3: This will be far the best offense they play.

1340
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 2: No, which a good point, man, it really is. I

1341
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: still think now I think Michigan's defense is legit now,

1342
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 2: But you're right, I like that's just you know, you

1343
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 2: really don't have you don't know now again, But it's

1344
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 2: why I keep going back to that if Ohio States

1345
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 2: going to win, they're gonna have to throw it to win,

1346
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 2: because I think that's your best chance with the with

1347
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 2: the with the stars, they got studs on the outside,

1348
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 2: and with the studs have on the outside. I think

1349
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 2: that's the that's the best way, because if you try

1350
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 2: to run it against them, first of all, they're really

1351
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 2: good against the run. All, you're kind of playing into

1352
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 2: their I think, into who they are. I think you

1353
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 2: want to scare them and say, gud JJ keep up

1354
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 2: with me.

1355
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1356
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any designs of Ohio State, you know,

1357
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 4: running the ball into the back of the offensive line,

1358
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 4: you know, three times a drive, you know, and then

1359
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 4: you know, three clouds to three yards in the cloud

1360
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 4: of dust or anything. But I think they're going to

1361
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 4: run the ball and are going to have to run

1362
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 4: the ball enough to at least have Michigan respected, because

1363
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 4: I don't think you just want to, even with all

1364
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 4: the weapons that they have, I don't think you just

1365
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 4: want to go in shotgun and just throw the ball

1366
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 4: all over the place from jump and not even attempt

1367
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 4: to try to have them respect to run. I don't

1368
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 4: think that's the path to win either. Hey, fake, while

1369
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 4: you got the floor, do me favorites for trending? All right,

1370
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 4: we'll go to the NBA from Friday night. Lebron James

1371
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 4: thirty five points, tying a season high for the Lakers.

1372
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 4: They beat Portland one oh seven to ninety five. That's

1373
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 4: handing the Blazers their sixth consecutive loss. Kevin Durant scoring

1374
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 4: thirty eight points to lead the Suns over Utah one

1375
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 4: thirty one to one twenty eight.

1376
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 3: A tough blow for the Suns.

1377
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 4: Before the game, they announced that Bradley Bee will miss

1378
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 4: at least the next three weeks as he continues to

1379
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 4: deal with that lingering back injury. Twenty four points for

1380
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:08,920

1398
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 2: But the fact that they're playing you know that this

1399
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 2: game is always at noon. I hate that. It's It's

1400
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving weekend, right and it could give me some may

1401
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 2: give me the lins. I need prime time. I mean,

1402
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 2: this is a game I need to build my my

1403
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 2: night around. It's a great weekend of football, But come.

1404
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: On, can we also acknowledge that I'm not sure there's

1405
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: a better place to be for Thanksgiving weekend than Michigan,

1406
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,959
Speaker 1: like in general, the state of Michigan, because you're gonna

1407
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: get Thursday Thanksgiving football, You're gonna get that week and

1408
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the Lions, and the Lions are actually

1409
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: really good this year. You get Packers Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Rights,

1410
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: it's a fun time. Everybody knows that. Then if you want,

1411
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: you can drive up through road. Even though they suck,

1412
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: you can drive up the road Michigan State Place Friday.

1413
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 1: That's fine, they may suck, and then Saturday you can

1414
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: head over to ann Arbor and get that one. It

1415
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: like that is I mean, that's a that's a trifecta

1416
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: of good good that. I think if you're a football

1417
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: fan on Thanksgiving weekend, I'm not sure there's a better

1418
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: place to be than the State of Michigan. And I

1419
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: don't know how often anybody says that phrase.

1420
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 3: It's a good point.

1421
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 4: Also, you know when you add usually on Thingsgiving Day

1422
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 4: in Detroit you're saying, like, ugh, but this year it's

1423
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 4: because of the Packers.

1424
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 3: It's not because of the Lions. Right, it's like, oh.

1425
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 2: It look it look green Bay look good. It looked

1426
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 2: better last week, Love played better. Uh, the receivers coming

1427
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 2: better a little bit, you know. I mean, I like,

1428
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 2: how about the I mean, the games are good games, right,

1429
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 2: you got Lions, Packers. I think Washington can play Dallas

1430
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 2: a little tough. Yeah, and then it's right, and then

1431
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 2: you got a great game Thursday night Niners Seahawks, which

1432
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 2: is an awesome game. And the look, we even got

1433
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 2: a little black Fridays. Patch not the best game, but

1434
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 2: I'll take it. It's NFL on on, Like what a

1435
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 2: great football weekend? Next weekend is how angry?

1436
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: Angry to their core is the Amazon Prime team because

1437
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: they get Dolphins Jets on Black Friday. And this was

1438
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: a great idea, by the way, Like, look, let's not

1439
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: get a twist. I've said it a million times that

1440
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: Thursday football is difficult, you know for Amazon. But the

1441
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: benefit that they have is that you're not watching it

1442
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: on your regular TV, right, So you have to go

1443
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: into the app. You have to watch it there. If

1444
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: you're non local, you have to have you have to

1445
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: be any consolidated place. You can't look away, right, Like

1446
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: you have to watch the game from one spot. Can't

1447
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: even really easily turn the channel unless you want to

1448
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: log out, log back in. Right, So you think about

1449
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: the logic of Black Friday is perfect because Amazon is

1450
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: out there like everybody else, trying to convince us all

1451
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: to buy a bunch of stuff. So they're like, we'll

1452
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: have a captive audience, we can sell all sorts of

1453
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: cell and we'll give them Dolphins Jets.

1454
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 2: This game will be great.

1455
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Iron Rogers, oh man, now they gets Zach Wilson. Oh god,

1456
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: you know that they're sitting there saying, man, we better

1457
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: put something different on sale, better offer for something free

1458
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: for people.

1459
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 3: What time does that game kick on that Black Fridays?

1460
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 4: Okay, because I know because there's a college football slate too,

1461
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 4: And if you look the final game college game on

1462
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 4: the slate that day is I don't do they still

1463
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 4: call it the Civil War or is that not PC?

1464
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 3: But Oregon State facing Oregon.

1465
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 4: I mean that has National Championship Playoff implications right there,

1466
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 4: So it looks like it's going to be later in

1467
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 4: the day, so I won't go ahead to head the NFL.

1468
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 2: I know is king, but no, it's smart, right, So

1469
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 2: look at it. Look at it breaking this kind this

1470
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: is like, this is great. So I'm a loser. I've

1471
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 2: already planned this out. I looked at this, Oh, because

1472
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 2: I'm a stone freaking loser. Because my next week is

1473
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 2: my favorite weekend. I love, I love to just why.

1474
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,679
Speaker 2: I just od on it right, like from Thursday through

1506
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 2: that's you know what I was. I felt a tinge

1507
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 2: of embarrassment. I was watching We Were My wife and

1508
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 2: I were rewatching the Sopranos, and there was there're like

1509
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 2: a Thanksgiving Day thing and I went, oh, my god,

1510
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 2: that's my house that was growing up, because they would

1511
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 2: have like the football right, and then you have people

1512
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 2: like who's betting, Like your uncle's betting on the games,

1513
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah. And then they did like

1514
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 2: the soup, and then the pasta, and then the meat

1515
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 2: balls and a lot of stuff, and then the turkey.

1516
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 2: And then at night Tony was cracking walnuts and there

1517
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 2: was lunch meat around them. They used to do that.

1518
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 2: They would play this game I'll never forget a vivid memory,

1519
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 2: like I remember thinking, like you guys ate all day long.

1520
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 2: They would break out these gigantic trays of lunch meat

1521
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 2: with fresh rolls, and then they would have these bowl

1522
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 2: of nuts, and then they would be drinking wine. And

1523
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 2: they used to play this game called Polkino, and they

1524
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 2: would like they were they were like pots and they

1525
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 2: would put you know, money, it would it would like

1526
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 2: money would be in the pots and if you got exumatic,

1527
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 2: turnover the deck and they would play this game. And

1528
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 2: so like all they did was eat and then you know,

1529
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 2: who's betting on football and then they're playing cards at night.

Speaker 2: My man Southside Chuck, who is one of our great listeners, says,

1571
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:38,639
Speaker 2: how about this. He does the slow Misquite turkey, slow

1572
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 2: Mesquite smoked turkey for fourteen hours and then the deep

1573
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 2: fried turkey like the South does turkey. That's pretty impressive.

1574
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Deep fride of turkey always scares me, like I'm just

1575
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: afraid I'm gonna screw it up. But man, when people

1576
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: do it, it is a delight that way. You know,

1577
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: here's the funny thing. I kind of can we just

1578
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 1: confess something here? It's probably gonna get me in trouble.

1579
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: Like as as you know, I've told you before, I'm

1580
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: not a big pie guy, right, and so you know

1581
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 1: there there there there are elements of thanksgiving that I

1582
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: think and I say this with some tremendous respect to

1583
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: great traditions. There's elements of Thanksgiving food that I think's

1584
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: a little overrated. Like I'm not not necessarily a huge

1585
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: turkey guy. Like I could live without mashed potatoes as

1586
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: a general rules.

1587
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 2: So like I think really like a mashed potato got

1588
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 2: it's good, It's it's good.

1589
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 1: It's just not like I don't I never order like

1590
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 1: rock Yans.

1591
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 2: I don't rock Yans. I think yam is it overrated item?

1592
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's twice a year that I order mash

1593
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: bear that I eat mashed potatoes. It's Thanksgiving, Giving in Christmas.

1594
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: The rest of the year not really that. So like this

1595
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 1: year I'm thinking OF's just like going to you know,

1596
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: like honey baked ham or something, just get one of

1597
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: their like meal go. Yeah, it's just like, you know,

1598
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,719
Speaker 1: I get a ham, let them make everything. I don't

1599
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: have to worry about anything. I can just sit here

1600
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: and eat, Like you know, it's at least a consideration, cousin,

1601
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,439

01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 2: body and I talked to Big Red and I love them, man.

1682
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 2: I've known him for a long long time and he's uh,

1683
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 2: he's just great people, great coach. He just is uh,

1684
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,719
Speaker 2: he's so interesting, interesting man, and he's an incredible football

1685
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 2: man that brings the Super Bowl rematch on Monday night.

1686
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 2: And I tell him, I've been told tickets are out

1687
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 2: of control right now. It's wild what people want. It's

1688
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:28,919
Speaker 2: going to be the game of the weekend.

1689
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: Buddy, Yeah, one hundred percent. And look a lot of

1690
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 1: times when we see these Super Bowl rematches the next year,

1691
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: these teams are out of contention or one team doesn't

1692
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: look as good or whatever the reason might be. I

1693
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: think the interesting, the most interesting part of this game

1694
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: is that both of these teams have been every single

1695
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 1: week faulted by most people. Well, you know, Kansas City's

1696
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: offense just doesn't have the right synergy. They're not really

1697
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: sure who the wide receivers are. They can't get open.

1698
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts doesn't look like himself, maybe he's hurt. All

1699
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: of these things. It feels like we have had to

1700
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 1: excuse the success of both of these teams every week.

1701
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: Yet here we stand right now and they are each,

1702
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: respectively clearly the best team in their conference. So the

1703
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: fact that we're seeing a Super Bowl rematch between two

1704
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: teams that are being doubted every single week, that are

1705
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,839
Speaker 1: right now each respectively the best teams in their conference,

1706
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: very likely to each have home field advantage in a

1707
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: real scenario, that could get them both back to the

1708
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl this year. Like it's rare that we see

1709
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 1: the rematch with this much juice and disrespect all attached

1710
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:32,839
Speaker 1: to it at once for a Super Bowl rematch.

1711
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, both teams uncanny, Both teams are not

1712
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 2: getting the respect they deserve. That's a true statement, I

1713
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 2: think vague.

1714
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:49,800
Speaker 4: And well, yeah, because even despite their records, I mean,

1715
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 4: Kansas City, you're so used to the high flying offense

1716
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 4: and Patrick Mahomes flinging it all over the place, and

1717
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 4: really it's been their defense. They've kind of won a

1718
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 4: lot of games ugly and gritting it out. In the Eagles,

1719
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at the offensive numbers, the

1720
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 4: production has been there, but it hasn't necessarily been as

1721
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 4: esthetically pleasing as it was at times last year. They've

1722
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 4: had to kind of grind through some games and get

1723
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 4: off to some rough starts and be able to But

1724
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's kind of the mark of

1725
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 4: a good team. Both of those teams, you know, are

1726
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 4: marked coming into the season. Philadelphia wasn't sneaking up on

1727
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 4: anybody like they did last year, and the fact that

1728
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 4: they're still able to be this good despite the fact

1729
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 4: that they're working through some issues, and the same thing

1730
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:26,560
Speaker 4: for Kansas City, I mean, they've been, you know, the

1731
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 4: one of the dominant team in the AFC for you know,

1732
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 4: five six years now.

1733
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 3: It's been in everybody's gun and form.

1734
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 4: And despite the fact that Patrick Mahomes doesn't have a

1735
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 4: lot of weapons, the offensive line is struggling, spags in

1736
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 4: that defense is picking them up a little bit, and

1737
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 4: they're making plays when they need to. I think it's

1738
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 4: a testament to these teams and these coaching staffs that

1739
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 4: they can play as well as they have, or at

1740
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 4: least win as much as they have, despite the fact

1741
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 4: that they're still working through some issues.

1742
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: We also, though, sit back and normalize greatness constantly. Yes,

1743
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: I think that's the hard park, because I just want

1744
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 1: to make sure I hadn't lost my mind. So I

1745
01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,759
Speaker 1: double checked right now, and according to ESPN that lists

1746
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: the playoff standings in order as they stand now with

1747
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: every tie breaker, there is no question about it. I

1748
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: just wonder double check here. The Eagles are the one

1749
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC. The Chiefs are the one seed

1750
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: in the AFC. So like the fact that we're sitting

1751
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,680
Speaker 1: here making fatal flaws to Kansas City's offense, which you're

1752
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 1: right about, and their defense has played much better what

1753
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: you're right about.

1754
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 3: But there's seven and two.

1755
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: Like there's seven and two, the Eagles are eight and one.

1756
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 1: And as I listened to sports talk radio throughout the

1757
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: course of the week, I felt like every conversation I

1758
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: heard was about how the Eagles haven't looked right and

1759
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is hurt. And I'm sitting here thinking that

1760
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: I miss something. This is an eight to one football team.

1761
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: And I know we said earlier, you know, they don't

1762
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,799
Speaker 1: all pass the eye test, but in this year's NFL,

1763
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure anybody passes the eye test. So when

1764
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: I've got two teams that have proven entities, that have

1765
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: played this well in the past, that are now still

1766
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: sitting at the top of their respective conferences in a

1767
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: year where everything looks like it's upside down in the NFL,

1768
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: that has to mean something, like I just right now,

1769
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: like the fact that they both have home field is huge.

1770
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you guys this because I'm

1771
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 2: curious what you guys believe, like with the Eagles, all right,

1772
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 2: because maybe I'm too close and I you know, I

1773
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,640
Speaker 2: cover that team, so I see him every uh, I

1774
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 2: you know, I see him every week, and I autopsy

1775
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,600
Speaker 2: the game and and I grant you that the schedule

1776
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 2: hasn't been that taxing, yeah, because it's going to turn.

1777
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna totally turn. However, they like, what haven't they

1778
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 2: done all right? Like just to go into it. They start,

1779
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 2: they win at the wing on the start. Okay, they

1780
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 2: beat Minnesota, a good team with cousins. All right, you

1781
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 2: win at Tampa, you you win at Homie gets Washington

1782
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:49,080
Speaker 2: with the overtime.

1783
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 3: Both of those Washington games are kind of like, you know.

1784
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 2: Yes, agreed, agreed, you lost to the Jets, which was

1785
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 2: ugly right.

1786
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 4: I get that that Rams game was closer than I

1787
01:26:58,320 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 4: think many of us thought it should have been.

1788
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I know I thought it would have been, to

1789
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 3: be honest.

1790
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: But listen to what we're saying. I mean this this

1791
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: comes back to what figure out.

1792
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 2: I was, yes, yeah, and I was saving the two

1793
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 2: best games, right, Like, so the two their two best games.

1794
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 2: You got at home on a Sunday night. They held

1795
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 2: Miami to seventeen points, like that's that was impressive. Thirty

1796
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 2: one seventeen so and they really weren't control of the

1797
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 2: game from the jump. And then Dallas last before the

1798
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:40,640
Speaker 2: bye on the fifth they take out the Cowboys and

1799
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 2: they looked, you know, looks did Dallas shoot themselves to

1800
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 2: the foot the end had a chance to come back,

1801
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 2: for that to come back, but the Eagles won that game,

1802
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 2: and they won that game, Like, you know, that's the

1803
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 2: Dallas team, which is you know, blows bad teams out.

1804
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 2: You know, they got to be front runner in the

1805
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 2: Eagles beat them.

1806
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean you say they have front runner

1807
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 3: in them, and then they did.

1808
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 4: But I mean, I mean that came down to a

1809
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 4: couple of different plays at the end of that game.

1810
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 4: I mean, the Eagles could have easily lost that one too.

1811
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I was talking about that game

1812
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 4: going into the winsion we had a comeback though, right,

1813
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 4: I mean it was you gotta play sixty minutes. I

1814
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 4: mean yeah, no, here, yeah, it was it.

1815
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 2: And Dak steps out and that and Schoolmaker doesn't run

1816
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 2: the route d or actually Ferguson doesn't run the rob

1817
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 2: the right way. I mean, I get it. But you know,

1818
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 2: ultimately the Eagles won the game. Yeah, I don't disagree.

1819
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: I think so much of this comes down to early

1820
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,760
Speaker 1: in the season. It was that it felt like they

1821
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 1: weren't efficient enough running the football, and we expected that

1822
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 1: that would be a strength for them. And Jalen Hurts

1823
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 1: and the knee and like finding fault in that now

1824
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 1: and it just we expected them to come in and dominate.

1825
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:02,679
Speaker 1: And the fact that they're winning and not dominating from

1826
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 1: open to finish is where people, you know, seem to

1827
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: fall apart on it. I would make the same argument

1828
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. The Chiefs have two losses this year.

1829
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 1: One was a game without two of their most important

1830
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: players and the other was the game where their quarterback

1831
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 1: has the flu. And we've spent the year talking about

1832
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 1: how broken the Chiefs are. They have two lock they

1833
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: have two excusable losses on their record, and we sit

1834
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: here like, ah, I don't know, like I just I

1835
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: feel like when you look at this Eagles team, I

1836
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 1: look at it and say, it's amazing to me that

1837
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 1: sometimes we credit teams for winning ugly football games and

1838
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: sometimes we discredit teams for having to win ugly football games.

1839
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 1: And it feels like, because of the Eagles hype coming in,

1840
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 1: that's where they've been this year and it just seems

1841
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:50,320
Speaker 1: absurd to me. Now any given Sunday, you know, could

1842
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers the best of the forty nine

1843
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 1: ers versus the best of the Eagles to be an

1844
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: interesting matchup in the playoffs. The best of the Lions

1845
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 1: versus the best of either of those teams would be

1846
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 1: an interesting matchup in the playoffs, But is anybody in

1847
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 1: the NFC consistently bringing the best of anything other than Philly.

1848
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 1: They're the closest thing we have to a best team

1849
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,679
Speaker 1: in there, and we're still finding fault with them.

1850
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 4: And I think one you know, you mentioned the injury

1851
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:17,600
Speaker 4: with Jalen Hurts and he didn't want to acknowledge it

1852
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:19,640
Speaker 4: at the press conference a couple of weeks ago. He

1853
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 4: turned the ball over at a much higher rate earlier

1854
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 4: in the first month of the season then he had

1855
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 4: last think he threw eight interceptions in the first six games.

1856
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:29,679
Speaker 4: He only threw six all of last year. So people

1857
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 4: are kind of poking holes at things like that. But again,

1858
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 4: I think they kind of snuck up. All these people

1859
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:35,479
Speaker 4: knew they were going to be good last year. No

1860
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 4: one thought that Jalen Hurts is going to have an

1861
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 4: MVP like campaign like he did last season, So you

1862
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 4: expect him to play to that same standard and not

1863
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 4: expect other teams to adjust to it.

1864
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 3: I think that's just unrealistic.

1865
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 4: So I think it's it's realistic to think that teams

1866
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 4: are going to play them a little bit tougher. So

1867
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 4: the standard was higher for them because they played so

1868
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 4: well last year. It's the standard Ford Kansas City, like

1869
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:56,799
Speaker 4: you mentioned, fits because they've played so well and especially

1870
01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 4: they've played so well offensively over these last few years.

1871
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 3: The stand they're just so high. But to your.

1872
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,759
Speaker 4: Point, as long as you win, that's all that matters.

1873
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:04,880
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how you win.

1874
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,680
Speaker 2: So here's the next five.

1875
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 3: Games for the Eagles. Listen to this. This is a gauntlet.

1876
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:21,919
Speaker 2: So at Kansas City Monday night home against Buffalo next Sunday.

1877
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 2: Now Buffalo's wounded.

1878
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 4: But that doesn't look as tough as it did a

1879
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 4: month ago. But Buffalo is still You're still having elite quarterbacks,

1880
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:32,759
Speaker 4: so you know, and the backhanded Eagles is vulnerable.

1881
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, if there's a bit of a you know, concern

1882
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 2: about the Eagles, it's the back end. Then home against

1883
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 2: the Niners, who you know rebounded nicely last week. Then

1884
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 2: you got to go to Dallas, and then the five

1885
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:52,800
Speaker 2: game stretch ends with a game at Seattle, which is

1886
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 2: always a dangerous place. So at Kansas City home, Buffalo home,

1887
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 2: Niners at Dallas, it's at Seattle. That's a vicious five

1888
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 2: game stretch.

1889
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,600
Speaker 1: That, when you say it out loud like that is

1890
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, I know that they've got an algorithm and

1891
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 1: the computers figure out scheduling. But I just when you

1892
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: think about the way their schedule has run, to have

1893
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 1: that clump together, that just feels like we talked earlier

1894
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 1: about teams having to play eleven days three games, right, Like,

1895
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:27,320
Speaker 1: how how hard that seems. I just oftentimes I look

1896
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: at these schedules and thinks some of these teams were

1897
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 1: predictably good. You tell me that you couldn't spread that

1898
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:33,479
Speaker 1: out for them a little bit, Like, that's just that's

1899
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:35,440
Speaker 1: a countlet, man, that is a contlet.

1900
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 2: What do you guys think?

1901
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 4: Even yeah, I think even if they in that five

1902
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,160
Speaker 4: game stretch they go two and three, I'm not ready

1903
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:44,360
Speaker 4: to say, well, season's over.

1904
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 3: They can't do it. They're lost of the best competition.

1905
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 1: They're not.

1906
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 4: I mean, that's tough. It's a week's week league. They

1907
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 4: lost to the Jets, for God's sakes. So you can

1908
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 4: lose to anybody any week. You can beat anybody any week.

1909
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's an indictment on Philadelphia or

1910
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:00,600
Speaker 4: any other team if they happen to lose on a

1911
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 4: particular week, especially if it's at Kansas City against the

1912
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 4: Buffalo team Buffalo can come in at five and six

1913
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 4: and they can win by twenty.

1914
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:08,360
Speaker 3: I don't think they will.

1915
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 4: And people will saying like, oh my god, the Bills

1916
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 4: founded and the Eagles, Oh my god, what's gonna happen?

1917
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 3: They're done. It's just that's just it's just not the case.

1918
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 4: Look, as long as they keep Jalen Hurts healthy and

1919
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 4: that offensive line and defensive line going, they're going to

1920
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 4: be right where they need to be at the end

1921
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,479
Speaker 4: of the season. So I don't think. Yeah, I guess

1922
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 4: it could be somewhat of a litmus test quote unquote

1923
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 4: in that five game stretch, but save for them going

1924
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 4: zero to five, which is not gonna happen, I don't

1925
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 4: think it's calls for panic or celebration one way or

1926
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 4: the other.

1927
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I'd say to that is during

1928
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:44,120
Speaker 1: that same stretch, I will read you the Lions schedule

1929
01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 1: during that same stretch. Why would peers like the Lions?

1930
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 1: The Lions are gonna end up with the first the first,

1931
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,960
Speaker 1: the first seat in the NFC, I think tea, Yeah,

1932
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: it's just it lays out for him way too easy,

1933
01:33:58,400 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 1: way too easy at this point.

1934
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I agree. Now, if the Eagles could somehow

1935
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:07,599
Speaker 2: manage not to fall apart during the five game stretch

1936
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 2: they and two with the Giants and one at home

1937
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 2: against Arizona. Right, so you're looking at if the one

1938
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:20,080
Speaker 2: seeds alive, you got three layups.

1939
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 4: I guess the question to you, Anne is and that

1940
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 4: we're way future projecting here. But let's just say it's

1941
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 4: an NFC championship game in Philadelphia has to go to Detroit. Like,

1942
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,719
Speaker 4: are you any less confident that Philadelphia can win there?

1943
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:38,559
Speaker 3: Because I'm not, No, I agree, I agree with you.

1944
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 4: That would that the home field advantage situation in that

1945
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 4: particular matchup that doesn't necessarily bother me. Yeah, at home

1946
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,720
Speaker 4: and you'd rather have a dome team play on the road. Absolutely,

1947
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 4: So let.

1948
01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Me let me talk out of both sides of my

1949
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 1: mouth for a second. Villains that which is really difficult

1950
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,120
Speaker 1: to do. But like say this way fake because I

1951
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:00,519
Speaker 1: don't think you're wrong that Like, look, I don't fear

1952
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:06,360
Speaker 1: Philly going into Detroit. I would have zero expectation that

1953
01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 1: Detroit could go into Philly, though, you know what I'm saying,

1954
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: So like, I think that's the only difference is Like

1955
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 1: if you tell me right now that I got to

1956
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 1: make a futures bet on Eagles at Detroit. I'm like, okay, yeah,

1957
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 1: I've every pretty good about Philly. If I have to

1958
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: make a futures bet on the Lions going to Philly,

1959
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: I'm putting my house out on that. It's like, all right,

1960
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 1: get good luck winning in Philly with that team, no doubt.

1961
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you. It's gonna be

1962
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 2: interesting to see how that goes with because if I agree,

1963
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 2: go through that schedule one more time, Fitz, you got.

1964
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 3: It in front of you.

1965
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. So they've got the Lions have coming up, Bears, Packers, Saints, Bears, Broncos, Vikings,

1966
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 1: the next got a lot just I mean, they got

1967
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:54,320
Speaker 1: a lot of cake walk there. There's gonna they're just

1968
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna hang on. They're gonna be like me on Thanksgiving weekend,

1969
01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: hanging out and eating cake.

1970
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,640
Speaker 3: Welcome with the bag of him. That's right, that's a

1971
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 3: bag of hams.

1972
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:10,240
Speaker 2: The only thing that's huge is you know, the Lions

1973
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 2: get that one seed. That's a big Dubai is a

1974
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:13,479
Speaker 2: big deal.

1975
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:15,679
Speaker 4: I buy is a huge deal, no doubt. You don't

1976
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 4: get the double buys anymore.

1977
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 2: You know, Like that's a. That's a monster. It's just

1978
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 2: limiting the fact that you only have to play two games,

1979
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 2: two home games before you get to the super Bowl.

1980
01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:31,600
Speaker 2: Is it's such a such an advantage, it's such a

1981
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:35,479
Speaker 2: big deal. All right, let's say quick too, we'll come back.

1982

1992
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

1993
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:43,720
Speaker 2: Hey real quick, because I was giving yo to my

1994
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 2: man takes the Cake dom. Who's listening to the program

1995
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 2: and who's not a believer in the Niners? See? I

1996
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 2: think Jay Young helps them a Ton right, like he's

1997
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 2: going to help Hargrave. I think they're deeper now up front,

1998
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 2: which makes them scarier, and Debo back really helps them

1999
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:15,000
Speaker 2: obviously completes their offense. And look, I'm you know, I

2000
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 2: give you all the pretty props in the world. FITSI

2001
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:21,920
Speaker 2: because he's your man, and he played well yes last

2002
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:25,639
Speaker 2: week when he the thing about him and it was funny.

2003
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 2: I did a breakdown of his throws, and you know,

2004
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 2: he looks so much better against Jacksonville. I think having

2005
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 2: Debo in there, and he does like Shanahan's is one

2006
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 2: of the best coaches out there, and like he followed

2007
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:42,839
Speaker 2: that script nicely, and he's not afraid. Like the thing

2008
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 2: that you see that you saw Fitsy with Purdy is

2009
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:48,680
Speaker 2: he's not afraid.

2010
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: I think part of that plays into also coming off

2011
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 1: of the buy. Like I think part of that plays

2012
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 1: into what I like about brock Perty in general. And

2013
01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 1: the funny thing is that I think the reason most

2014
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:03,799
Speaker 1: people that aren't believers in San Francisco right now aren't

2015
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 1: is because of Rock Party, and you know, because there's

2016
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: this whole concept of he's just not good enough. He

2017
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 1: is for them, you know what I mean? And when

2018
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:14,600
Speaker 1: you watch him in that game against I think it

2019
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:16,600
Speaker 1: is important to note that that's the Jacksonville team that

2020
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: A is pretty good. B has a lot to play for,

2021
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 1: and they did a couple of things. They kept him

2022
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 1: upright much better than they had for a few weeks,

2023
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:26,160
Speaker 1: Like he seemed like he had time to get comfortable,

2024
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 1: but he also just seems comfortable in this offense, and

2025
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: like this is just one of those thinking man games moments,

2026
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:34,680
Speaker 1: and you know it from breaking it down, like it

2027
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 1: just when he's in control and when he knows where

2028
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: he wants to go to football, he does that really well.

2029
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 1: So you know, yes, there's been a little bit of

2030
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 1: a free fall for a few weeks where things felt

2031
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 1: like they were falling apart, but that was sort of

2032
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: universally across the whole team, and the forty nine ers

2033
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:49,559
Speaker 1: do that almost every year where they have a few

2034
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: weeks they go off. I think what's funny about it is,

2035
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 1: you know, pre injury, when we saw the Bengals start slow,

2036
01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, don't worry, they got Burrow. You

2037
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:59,640
Speaker 1: see a small hiccup for the forty nine ers, and

2038
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 1: it's like, well, now you know, not sure perty's going

2039
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 1: to survive this, Like, I just think it's a little

2040
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 1: bit extreme, And I don't know why. You know, I

2041
01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 1: understand why people may not trust the forty nine ers

2042
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl because maybe you think Prock

2043
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 1: Party in that one game is too much of a variable,

2044
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 1: But why you wouldn't trust the forty nine ers for

2045
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: the rest of this regular season? I have no idea, man.

2046
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 2: Fake, what do you think of the nine ers?

2047
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2048
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 3: I agree for the regular season.

2049
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 4: The only issue that I would have with Purdy and

2050
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,680
Speaker 4: I and I've been on the Fits's side when it

2051
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 4: comes to Party and to feel with him as saying

2052
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 4: that he's perfect for this offense and he fits what

2053
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 4: they need when they do struggle is when they've gotten

2054
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 4: behind early and when you've basically forced him to have

2055
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:39,640
Speaker 4: to throw, and that happened in the Minnesota game, that

2056
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 4: happened in the Cincinnati game. Now, part of that could

2057
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 4: be not having Deebo Samuel in the lineup. I'm not

2058
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:47,599
Speaker 4: saying that that's not a big issue, but if they're

2059
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:49,840
Speaker 4: in a situation where they're not able to run the ball,

2060
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:52,559
Speaker 4: where they don't get up ten to nothing, fourteen to nothing,

2061
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:55,000
Speaker 4: and the defense is dominating and they're in a dog

2062
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 4: fight like they were early on against Cincinnati. I think

2063
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:00,559
Speaker 4: that's kind of where you see the flaws in parties

2064
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 4: sort of come up. So he's great for the system

2065
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:05,479
Speaker 4: when the system is working, But if they were to

2066
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:07,920
Speaker 4: run into somebody that was able to shut down their

2067
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 4: run game and say, like maybe the Eagles were able

2068
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,160
Speaker 4: to get up on their early in a playoff game

2069
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia, then I think that's kind of where you'd

2070
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 4: see his flaws coming up.

2071
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:19,679
Speaker 2: And that's kind of where I've always been with him.

2072
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 2: Can That's the question is can he match score for score? Like,

2073
01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 2: are you going to win a thirty one to thirty

2074
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 2: game with Rock? You know, thriving to throw the football

2075
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 2: right now?

2076
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 3: Right now?

2077
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 2: I don't.

2078
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:36,599
Speaker 4: I'm the problem the issue is, and I think fits

2079
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:39,680
Speaker 4: what would say this as well? This That doesn't mean

2080
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 4: he can't do it eventually. I don't know if he

2081
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 4: can do that right now. It's too young in his career.

2082
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 4: He only has what thirteen starts under his belt or

2083
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 4: something like that. Yeah, So I'm not saying he can't

2084
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 4: develop into that. I just don't know at this very

2085
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 4: point in time in his career that he's prepared to

2086
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:56,280
Speaker 4: do that, and that doesn't mean they can't win with

2087
01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 4: him at the starting quarterback. They just need to be

2088
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 4: able to have everything fall their way to be able

2089
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 4: to win with him as a starting quarterback this year.

2090
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, to Fitzy's point, the thing that shows you it's

2091
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 2: funny we did. I did a whole bunch of I've

2092
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 2: been I've been like geeking out watching tape at NFL films. Uh,

2093
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 2: like every day we watch all we watch all the

2094
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 2: tape bolding and I and the thing that stands out

2095
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 2: is just pretty toughness man Like he makes a throw

2096
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:30,800
Speaker 2: last week. So and you'll love this, Fitzy his music

2097
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:35,280
Speaker 2: to your ears. He pumps. I don't know if you

2098
01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 2: guys remember this. He pumps, and he's got pressure to

2099
01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:43,840
Speaker 2: the pockets collapsing. He pumps up the for a shot

2100
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 2: up the middle and immediately brings the ball back, which

2101
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 2: tells me he was trying to bring the safety over

2102
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 2: and then he lets it go down the right sideline

2103
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 2: for it for a touchdown past the Kittle And it

2104
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 2: was just and a great quarterback, Like he couldn't even

2105
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 2: see Kittle. Basically, he knew Kittle was out there and

2106
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,680
Speaker 2: he saw the pocket breaking down, he pomps. When he

2107
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 2: finally releases the football, he's got all kinds of people

2108
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:18,720
Speaker 2: in his face, he's getting hit, and he delivers the

2109
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:22,560
Speaker 2: strike to Kittle, who won that long touchdown.

2110
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 1: That speaks to intelligence and coaching combined, right, Like, And

2111
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:31,680
Speaker 1: that's the part of this that as much as we

2112
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 1: live in this world where we want to make it

2113
01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:35,559
Speaker 1: about one or the other, I keep saying over and

2114
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: over and over again, I think the Great Ascension a

2115
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:40,599
Speaker 1: lot of times is about the tag team. Like, instead

2116
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 1: of looking and asking do we have the coach, you

2117
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:44,679
Speaker 1: need to ask do we have the coach and the quarterback?

2118
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:45,840
Speaker 1: And I don't think both have to be at a

2119
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:47,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame level to win. I just think that

2120
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 1: you've got to have You've got to have some level

2121
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:52,000
Speaker 1: where the two of them average out to be something

2122
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 1: very good. I credit Kyle Shanahan to part of that.

2123
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:57,599
Speaker 1: I credit Rock pretty for being smart in that. And like,

2124
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those things where you

2125
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 1: know to use a weird dating analogy, Like you might

2126
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 1: have a buddy that's dating somebody that you don't think

2127
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,639
Speaker 1: is all that attractive, and it doesn't really matter because

2128
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 1: he loves her and it's like, okay, like I thought

2129
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 1: he could have done better, but he loves her and

2130
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,720
Speaker 1: that works for him. That's sort of where I am

2131
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:16,719
Speaker 1: on Rock Party. And I think part of the reasons

2132
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:19,320
Speaker 1: I've dug my heels in is because I do think

2133
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco is in love with him, and I think

2134
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:23,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco is least at least in like with him.

2135
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:25,559
Speaker 1: Let's say it that way. They're in a serious, committed

2136
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 1: relationship with him at this point and it's working for

2137
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:30,400
Speaker 1: both of them. And like it's weird because you don't

2138
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 1: have to look at it necessarily and say, man, I

2139
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 1: am scared of Brock Party. He is a world beater

2140
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:37,719
Speaker 1: quarterback the way we do with Joe Burrow. But also

2141
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: I think Zach Taylor, the head coach of the Bengals,

2142
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: is fail Burrow, a play calling over and over and

2143
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 1: over again like Josh Allen, up and down depending on

2144
01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 1: who the coach is. Like, so the only thing that

2145
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 1: matters here is like, you know, maybe Brock Purty isn't

2146
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: all that great for some teams, but with this team,

2147
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 1: with this system, I'm scared of him, like I would

2148
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 1: be scared of taking on the San Francisco forty nine ers,

2149
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,040
Speaker 1: because I trust him to be able to execute the

2150
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:01,879
Speaker 1: vision of what he's being told to execute.

2151
01:45:01,920 --> 01:45:04,360
Speaker 4: You know one thing I wouldn't downplay too is don't

2152
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 4: discount the progression. I know it's different in college in

2153
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 4: the NFL, but we talked about how terrible of a

2154
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 4: star Jayalen Mirro got off to at the beginning of

2155
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 4: this season, and the progression he's made through this year

2156
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 4: and gotten better as they've adjusted and gotten more comfortable

2157
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:18,680
Speaker 4: and called more plays to his locking and he's improved.

2158
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 4: You know that three game losing streak with Brock Purdy

2159
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,040
Speaker 4: and as bad as he looked, which, by the way,

2160
01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:25,519
Speaker 4: even as poorly as he played against Cleveland, he got

2161
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 4: him a makable field goal range should be able to

2162
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 4: win that game, and the kicker missed it. I mean,

2163
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 4: that's a game where he played terribly but made the

2164
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 4: plays to get them in a situation where they can win.

2165
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:35,680
Speaker 4: I don't think you discount the fact that he had

2166
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:37,720
Speaker 4: a couple of terrible games, which to at this point

2167
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 4: in his career he had not and the ability to

2168
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,439
Speaker 4: bounce back, learn from those experiences and see how he

2169
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 4: comes out of it.

2170
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:43,280
Speaker 2: Now.

2171
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 3: Last week against Jacksonville.

2172
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:46,640
Speaker 4: He was great. If you rise momentum and they end

2173
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 4: up going on a long win streak, including over the

2174
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 4: Eagles on the road in a couple of weeks. You know,

2175
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 4: we can look back at that three game losing streak

2176
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 4: early in the season and say that could have been

2177
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:57,360
Speaker 4: a turning point. That was kind of the struggle that

2178
01:45:57,400 --> 01:45:59,200
Speaker 4: he needed to go through to progress to become the

2179
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:02,719
Speaker 4: sort of quarterback that myself and Fits and maybe others

2180
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 4: think he might actually turn into.

2181
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel you, I feel you. Fake do me

2182
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 2: a favor. It's what's some trending?

2183
01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we'll start with the NBA from Friday night,

2184
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 4: with the Clippers snapping a six game losing street. They

2185
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 4: pick up their first victory since trading for James.

2186
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:18,639
Speaker 3: Harden.

2187
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 4: One o six to one hundred was the final score.

2188
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:24,559
Speaker 4: Hard and twenty four points, nine rebounds, and seven assists.

2189
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:27,320
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard leading all scores in the matchup with twenty

2190
01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 4: six points thirty five points for Lebron James. He also

2191
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,960
Speaker 4: had nine assists as the Lakers beat Portland one oh

2192
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 4: seven to ninety five. It was the Suns one thirty

2193
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 4: one in Utah one twenty eight thirty eight points for

2194
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant. He also had nine rebounds and nine assists.

2195
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 4: He also had wins for the Bucks, Sixers, Kings, and

2196
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:47,799
Speaker 4: the Knicks. In college football, Washington State steamrolled Colorado fifty

2197
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:51,720
Speaker 4: six to fourteen UTSA all over USF forty nine to

2198
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 4: twenty one. Injury news out of the NFL, Vikings receiver

2199
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson listed as questionable for Sunday night against Denver.

2200
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:00,799
Speaker 4: He's been out since Week five with a ham string injury,

2201
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 4: and the Bears will welcome back running back Little Herbert

2202
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:04,320
Speaker 4: off of injured reserve.

2203
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:07,559
Speaker 3: He is expected to suit up against Detroit on Sunday.

2204
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 3: Back to the fellas, how about it? Hard a hassa.

2205
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 4: Lid, good clutch for the classic hard and four point

2206
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,759
Speaker 4: play to seal the game on Friday Night, the pump,

2207
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:22,200
Speaker 4: fake baiting the foul.

2208
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,120
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I don't miss him.

2209
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:26,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure you don't.

2210
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 4: Well, why would you as good as those guys are playing,

2211
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:32,120
Speaker 4: but to him and running Covington, Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't either.

2212
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 2: So I don't you know, I don't miss Listen. He's

2213
01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:37,760
Speaker 2: always been a great ballplayer. I think you though, I've

2214
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 2: always said that he's always a great ballplayer, but he's

2215
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 2: a hassa, right, which is the pig that doesn't fly

2216
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 2: straight from scarface, and that means he's gorgeous on stats

2217
01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:52,479
Speaker 2: and he just dominates the ball. He needs to eat

2218
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 2: the basketball. He just controls the basketball past the freaking

2219
01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 2: ball let the ball move drives me insane.

2220
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:05,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think he'll, well, look, if he doesn't figure

2221
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:07,880
Speaker 4: it out this year, he's never going to. He's a

2222
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 4: free agent. He needs to, you know, straighten up and

2223
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 4: fly right. If he has any designs, will get in

2224
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 4: another giant you know extension, you know flight, you like

2225
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:17,720
Speaker 4: that to pick though, I like so this is kind

2226
01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:24,080
Speaker 4: of his lever. He doesn't have the burden of being

2227
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 4: He doesn't have the burden of being the guy or

2228
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 4: even the number two guy.

2229
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:29,719
Speaker 2: With the Clippers.

2230
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:31,439
Speaker 4: And I think that that's the situation he has a

2231
01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 4: been in since early in his career in Oklahoma City.

2232
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:37,559
Speaker 3: So we'll see how he handles it, like the burden.

2233
01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 1: Like my mom said, if I don't have anything nice

2234
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 1: to say, I'd like, look y'all are right. But I

2235
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:46,559
Speaker 1: do think part of this you don't miss him because hey,

2236
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 1: you don't need to miss him, but also you don't

2237
01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 1: miss him. Like it's just it's so nice to just

2238
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:55,040
Speaker 1: watch basketball without the drama, you know, Like, I know

2239
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:59,080
Speaker 1: that sounds dumb, but I just and good and good

2240
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 1: riddance to so much of that where it's like, you

2241
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 1: know what, it's just more fun to watch the team

2242
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 1: than to have to think about all of that bs

2243
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,680
Speaker 1: that came with it before. So, you know, good on

2244
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: him for finally getting that win. Sure, cool, that's great, Like,

2245
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:15,599
Speaker 1: but the tone in my voice is not accidental when

2246
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: it comes to my indifference towards him in general, considering

2247
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 1: the situation he painted himself into.

2248
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and I'm with you, fellas from the tiraq

2249
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:27,360
Speaker 2: dot com studios. All right, let me throw the games

2250
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:31,800
Speaker 2: at you today. Give me your level of interest in

2251
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 2: the game itself. In the college Slate, Michigan Maryland, Michigan

2252
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:43,439
Speaker 2: off the big win against Penn State. Maryland, I mean

2253
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:46,880
Speaker 2: a huge favorite. Obviously, there's no way that Maryland's going

2254
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:49,480
Speaker 2: to scare Michigan, right boys.

2255
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 3: No, no, not at all.

2256
01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:54,400
Speaker 1: I'd love to sit here though and say, like t

2257
01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: leah tongue of Ala, can you know, at least give

2258
01:49:57,200 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of a preview of what we'll see,

2259
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:01,639
Speaker 1: you know what, the State's passing offense because he can

2260
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:04,320
Speaker 1: throw the football, but it's just it's just not consistent enough.

2261
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 1: No Michigan, Michigan a roll in this game. And I

2262
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 1: don't think you know, that's the funny thing about this

2263
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 1: whole distraction of that they've created of what's going on.

2264
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:13,920
Speaker 1: This is the sort of game where I could have

2265
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 1: bought trap game between Penn State before Ohio State, I

2266
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,440
Speaker 1: could have bought trap game. But now with the suspension

2267
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 1: and everything, I just don't think there's anything that could

2268
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 1: change the laser like focus for Michigan at this point.

2269
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:27,679
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, especially as much as Maryland has just fallen off.

2270
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 4: I mean since the Ohio State game, they've just been awful.

2271
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, since the second half of the ise. Right,

2272
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 1: It's like they started in a pretty good place and

2273
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: then they was like just kidding.

2274
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, bab has got to lay up with Chad nougat Tennessee.

2275
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:42,880
Speaker 2: Chad Neuga.

2276
01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 4: I think every SEC team does. This is the classic

2277
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 4: second to last week of the season walk through the

2278
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:51,559
Speaker 4: you know yes, yes, yes, yes, the easy walk around

2279
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:52,720
Speaker 4: for the SEC teams.

2280
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:59,320
Speaker 2: Interesting game in the ACC, very interesting Louisville and Miami. Louisville,

2281
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 2: like you said, yeah, the number ten team in the

2282
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:09,880
Speaker 2: country nine and one goes to Miami. James basically a

2283
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 2: picked Miami at a half point favorite. Fitzy, start with

2284
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 2: you in this game?

2285
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 3: We do you like?

2286
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, look, I like Louisville in this game. I

2287
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 1: think it's important for the entire ACC wants Louisville to

2288
01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:24,880
Speaker 1: win this game because if they fall off, then Florida

2289
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:28,639
Speaker 1: State's got no chance at all. Miami. I'll give Miami credit.

2290
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:30,400
Speaker 1: I think they played Florida State a lot tougher than

2291
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 1: I thought they would last week. But this Louisville team's

2292
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,200
Speaker 1: on a roll, and this Louisville team can actually score.

2293
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:38,240
Speaker 1: So I like Louisville in this matchup. I don't know

2294
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 1: that I believe Louisville is usually a top ten team.

2295
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but this is

2296
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 1: the time where I feel like maybe the Committee's given

2297
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:47,439
Speaker 1: them a little extra love, a little extra value to

2298
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 1: justify the ACC championship game. But I think Louisville comes

2299
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 1: out and wins this game. This feels to me like

2300
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:54,480
Speaker 1: Louisville by a touchdown.

2301
01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 4: It's a tough spot because you expect Louisville to go

2302
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,320
Speaker 4: in and kind of roll against Miami. And I would

2303
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:03,120
Speaker 4: feel better about Miami if they had their freshman Emery Williams,

2304
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,000
Speaker 4: who played He's the one that really had them playing

2305
01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:07,320
Speaker 4: well against Florida State last week. As soon as he

2306
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 4: gets hurt, they put in Tyler van Dyke and what

2307
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:10,400
Speaker 4: does he do? Interception?

2308
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:10,920
Speaker 3: Game over.

2309
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:13,880
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be Van Dyke under center again, most

2310
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:14,759
Speaker 4: likely this afternoon.

2311
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 3: So that's why I like Louisville.

2312
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:18,519
Speaker 4: But if it was Emriy Williams in there, I would

2313
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 4: I would like Miami's chances a lot more.

2314
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you, all right, boys, Payne State's

2315
01:52:25,600 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 2: got Rutgers Old miss you and al Monroe Colahoma would

2316
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 2: b yu. These are the early games.

2317
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:35,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just were glossing over the cupcakes.

2318
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 3: Here.

2319
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 1: Let me just say this. I want to this is

2320
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:40,200
Speaker 1: the world I want to live in. When a great

2321
01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 1: team takes on a cupcake. I think we should just

2322
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:44,640
Speaker 1: have a margin of victory, Like there should be a

2323
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, like spot them, spot them twenty eight. You know,

2324
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:48,760
Speaker 1: like let's make this a game.

2325
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:50,519
Speaker 3: Spot them spot twenty eight.

2326
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 1: And then and then let's see, like you know, let's

2327
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 1: see what happens if the game starts. You know, I

2328
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:57,799
Speaker 1: don't care if it's Alabama versus you know the National

2329
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:00,280
Speaker 1: Auto Diesel College or whoever they're playing this week, like

2330
01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 1: local you know, community college schools that they're playing, Like

2331
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:05,800
Speaker 1: just spot in twenty eight and then see how long

2332
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:07,759
Speaker 1: it takes them to get back. That's a better judge.

2333
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:09,040
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

2334
01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 4: I like the spot as I spot at thirty seven

2335
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:13,759
Speaker 4: and a half against u OL Morrow.

2336
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:17,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, my cousin's the spot. They we used to play.

2337
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:20,320
Speaker 2: We for years growing up. We're playing basketball. He's like

2338
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 2: three and are free years all that at me. He

2339
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:25,960
Speaker 2: would give me the I'll spot you five, right, you

2340
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,800
Speaker 2: know the game's ten. Ye I'll spot of course I

2341
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:32,840
Speaker 2: was little and then right, you know, then you grow. Uh.

2342
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,080
Speaker 4: We used to have some we had some battles. I'm

2343
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:37,799
Speaker 4: sure it was the old school street ball too. Yeah,

2344
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:39,200
Speaker 4: we all play.

2345
01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:44,840
Speaker 2: It was elbows up, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. Uh to

2346
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 2: thirty today Eastern eleven thirty Pacific. Uh, interesting game in

2347
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 2: the pac twelve Utah and Arizona. That's a good game.

2348
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:58,479
Speaker 2: Arizona hot Oh, they're on fire. Wait, some good football man,

2349
01:53:58,640 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 2: you know.

2350
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 4: And if if Jim Harball ends up leaving Michigan, either

2351
01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:04,679
Speaker 4: on his own volition or ends up getting fired, whatever

2352
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 4: it is, keep an eye on Jetfish. He was an

2353
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:11,200
Speaker 4: assistant for Jim harbaught Michigan for a year and one

2354
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:13,879
Speaker 4: of the rising names in college football. I know Arizona's

2355
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:15,599
Speaker 4: going to the Big twelve next year, but if Michigan

2356
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 4: comes call and he definitely has to listen.

2357
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:19,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you're right on man.

2358
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 1: All Right's the way it feels like a bit of

2359
01:54:22,120 --> 01:54:25,639
Speaker 1: a lost year for Utah. Like they've been competitive, they've

2360
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 1: been good, and every week I feel like I'm singing

2361
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 1: what might have been and just thinking.

2362
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:32,680
Speaker 2: Like, say, the injury rising just kills you.

2363
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it kills you, Andy, But they've still been

2364
01:54:35,800 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: so competitive in these games. I think Utah is deserves

2365
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:40,880
Speaker 1: a little tip of the cap for the way they've

2366
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 1: been able to play through that.

2367
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:43,920
Speaker 3: Definitely, I agree. I like that.

2368
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,960
Speaker 2: All Right, Uh take quick too, We'll come back. We'll

2369
01:54:47,040 --> 01:54:51,839
Speaker 2: keep going through the college slate for today. Fellas hanging

Speaker 2: Patrick's in for the Shehay who is under the weather

2377
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:33,360
Speaker 2: so called, in the duty to help produce with the

2378
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 2: mighty mighty Muddy Mark. All right, boys, let's continue to

2379
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:41,920
Speaker 2: kind of go through all of the rest of the card.

2380
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 2: And you know, it's it's interesting because when we look

2381
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:52,440
Speaker 2: at Georgia, Tennessee fits he said it earlier, Tennessee a

2382
01:55:52,520 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 2: bit of a disappointment. George is a ten point favorite.

2383
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:02,480
Speaker 2: I and I don't see Tennessee scaring Georgie. I don't

2384
01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:05,400
Speaker 2: know about and I guess you don't either, FITZI.

2385
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 1: No, I don't. And you know, Viggy pointed out something

2386
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people that if you

2387
01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 1: haven't watched Tennessee may not realize, like Josh Hypel really,

2388
01:56:13,640 --> 01:56:16,280
Speaker 1: to his credit as a coach, converted this entire offense.

2389
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:19,320
Speaker 1: They went from being very pass happy last year. They

2390
01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 1: obviously lose their quarterback and their wide receiver though, so

2391
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:24,320
Speaker 1: now they come into this year and they're much more

2392
01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 1: run centered as an offense. They have to be. Their

2393
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: quarterback hasn't been accurate enough. Tennessee's had a bunch of issues,

2394
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:32,400
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and while they've been good, they

2395
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 1: haven't been nearly as good as we expect. It sort

2396
01:56:34,400 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 1: of proved that the concept that Tennessee was, you know,

2397
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:41,160
Speaker 1: about to become one of these consistent great teams in

2398
01:56:41,200 --> 01:56:43,240
Speaker 1: the East, I think has been disproven right now, Like

2399
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a pretty good team in the East.

2400
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 1: That when things hit right, they can they can do

2401
01:56:47,440 --> 01:56:49,040
Speaker 1: some damage. And when they don't, this is kind of

2402
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:51,360
Speaker 1: where they sit. So now that means the way they

2403
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:53,880
Speaker 1: win this football game is don't laugh when I say this,

2404
01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:56,040
Speaker 1: run the ball. You're gonna have to run the ball

2405
01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:59,200
Speaker 1: on Georgia consistently here, which you know, George has been

2406
01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 1: susceptible times. That's fine, but I just have a hard

2407
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 1: time seeing that happen here. So I think George is

2408
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna roll in this game. I hope I'm wrong because

2409
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:09,120
Speaker 1: I love chaos, but I just don't think we're gonna

2410
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 1: get any chaos.

2411
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 5: Out of it.

2412
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, for chaos sake, I love it too, but just

2413
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 4: based on how these two teams have played, and by

2414
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 4: the way Missouri destroyed and the common opponent thing doesn't

2415
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:20,440
Speaker 4: necessarily always line up. But you know, Georgiailla Missouri, Missouri

2416
01:57:20,480 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 4: beat Tennessee and beat them bad lee, So do that

2417
01:57:22,360 --> 01:57:25,240
Speaker 4: mean George is gonna be Tennessee badly? Not necessarily, but

2418
01:57:25,320 --> 01:57:27,680
Speaker 4: I think they will. And look, by the way last

2419
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:30,280
Speaker 4: year Tennessee last year could have been an aberration, that

2420
01:57:30,320 --> 01:57:32,320
Speaker 4: could have been a lightning in the bottle situation too.

2421
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:34,440
Speaker 4: I mean, let's not forget they got the boat raced

2422
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 4: by South Carolina of all teams late in the season,

2423
01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:39,280
Speaker 4: and then they started kind of fell apart from them

2424
01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 4: at that point. So I think they're Look, they're a

2425
01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 4: good program, They're a solid team this year. Maybe this

2426
01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 4: is just kind of what they are right now under

2427
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:49,800
Speaker 4: Josh Heipel. Maybe they put up a fight early on,

2428
01:57:49,880 --> 01:57:51,560
Speaker 4: but I think Georgia at this point in time has

2429
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 4: kind of figured out who they are. So I kind

2430
01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:56,000
Speaker 4: of expect this thing to be over, if not by halftime,

2431
01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 4: by early in the third quarter.

2432
01:57:57,680 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So here's what I can't get my arms around,

2433
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:03,240
Speaker 2: because everything you guys say is right on, and I

2434
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:08,000
Speaker 2: feel like I don't think George is gonna lose. Why

2435
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 2: why is this line only ten? I mean, George is

2436
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 2: coming off they annihilate all miss right, I mean they

2437
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:21,400
Speaker 2: beat Missouri. The game wasn't really as close as in

2438
01:58:21,400 --> 01:58:25,200
Speaker 2: that sense. I mean they crushed Florida like you know,

2439
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:29,400
Speaker 2: they're playing better. The line's only ten, and Tennessee has

2440
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 2: been unimpressive.

2441
01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:33,480
Speaker 4: I mean, the only thing I can think of is

2442
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 4: why it's a rivalry game. Tennessee has not lost a

2443
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 4: home game, I think since I think in Twey, I

2444
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:40,480
Speaker 4: think I don't think they lost at home at all

2445
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:42,240
Speaker 4: last year. They haven't lost at home this year, so

2446
01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:44,320
Speaker 4: that could be part of it too. There are two

2447
01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 4: losses save for the Florida game earlier this year, which

2448
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 4: is also a rivalry Alabama they played close before they lost,

2449
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:53,880
Speaker 4: and Missouri is was a top fifteen team when they

2450
01:58:53,880 --> 01:58:55,560
Speaker 4: lost to them last week. So maybe they're giving them

2451
01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:58,480
Speaker 4: a credit for a quality loss. All that together maybe

2452
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:01,040
Speaker 4: makes them think maybe they hang with them a little bit.

2453
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, body of work as a hole. This year. Georgia

2454
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:07,240
Speaker 1: has played disinterested for the first half and things have

2455
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: been close, and then you know they've erupted like usually

2456
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: in great college football games. I'm always a big fan of,

2457
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 1: like if you've got a great team, I should say

2458
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a fan of playing first half's lines if

2459
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm dabbling, because you know, by the second half everybody's out.

2460
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:24,080
Speaker 1: Georgia is like the opposite of that this year. Like

2461
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:26,280
Speaker 1: I stay away from the first half line of anything

2462
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 1: Georgia does, and then the second half, you know they're

2463
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 1: just gonna kick it into gear. So I think the

2464
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:32,680
Speaker 1: slow starts of Georgia probably play into a little bit

2465
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 1: of that.

2466
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:38,280
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, you know, I hear you. I just this

2467
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:42,840
Speaker 2: line is weird. Just remember this. If this game's close,

2468
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:46,840
Speaker 2: remember the line. Well we also mentionay you know, yeah,

2469
01:59:46,840 --> 01:59:49,840
Speaker 2: that they're the path to Tennessee to win or keep

2470
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:53,360
Speaker 2: it close. Is what Georgia's biggest weakness at this this

2471
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 2: season has been, which is stopping the run. So if

2472
01:59:56,800 --> 01:59:58,840
Speaker 2: Tennessee is able to run the ball, then you can

2473
01:59:58,880 --> 01:59:59,920
Speaker 2: see this thing being a little bit.

2474
01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:01,960
Speaker 3: Clar yep, yep, I hear you.

2475
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:05,720

2490
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:15,160
Speaker 2: into the ultimate football week. I mean, let's face it,

2491
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:20,080
Speaker 2: this week is a celebration of the sport in its

2492
02:01:20,120 --> 02:01:24,200
Speaker 2: biggest way, right. It culminates with the holiday. There's no

2493
02:01:24,200 --> 02:01:27,720
Speaker 2: no big holiday that that you know is Thanksgiving and

2494
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:31,440
Speaker 2: football go together. We all have our turkey bowls and

2495
02:01:31,760 --> 02:01:35,320
Speaker 2: it's light school football. It's all that stuff. Of course,

2496
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 2: all the NFL. Friday is a big day in college

2497
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 2: football and the NFL. Now with the black Friday game,

2498
02:01:41,400 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 2: all the rivalry weekend going on to college football, and

2499
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:48,839
Speaker 2: the week kicks off with Eagles and Chiefs. So in FITZI,

2500
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:53,520
Speaker 2: it's the celebration of football in so many ways.

2501
02:01:53,960 --> 02:01:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, is this like this feels like it's it, like

2502
02:01:56,920 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: this is the big one. This is you know for

2503
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:01,400
Speaker 1: all the rest of the year and the times that

2504
02:02:01,440 --> 02:02:03,360
Speaker 1: we look forward to, Like opening weekend always has a

2505
02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:06,200
Speaker 1: special place in my heart. In the NFL and college football,

2506
02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:09,080
Speaker 1: rivalry week always has a special place in everybody's heart.

2507
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 1: But there is like there is something about the way

2508
02:02:12,120 --> 02:02:15,160
Speaker 1: that this weekend goes down because it's a combination of

2509
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:17,680
Speaker 1: the two. It's it's it feels like it's just like

2510
02:02:17,760 --> 02:02:19,680
Speaker 1: we are at that chef's kiss time where everything is

2511
02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:21,640
Speaker 1: absolutely perfect. In a few weeks, we're gonna be very

2512
02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:24,080
Speaker 1: sad because you've planted the seed in my head. Now,

2513
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:26,000
Speaker 1: all I can think about is the fact that like,

2514
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:28,200
Speaker 1: like we're coming. I feel like we're on a date,

2515
02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:30,640
Speaker 1: but we both know that we're moving separate to separate

2516
02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:33,120
Speaker 1: cities now, and like this is we gotta we gotta

2517
02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:35,800
Speaker 1: appreciate it what we have it. Oh so it's it's amazing,

2518
02:02:35,840 --> 02:02:36,720
Speaker 1: but sad all at once.

2519
02:02:37,600 --> 02:02:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the dates your football Like like that's stupid, right,

2520
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:47,480
Speaker 2: but my my Anthony had him played his last game

2521
02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:52,160
Speaker 2: for the eighth grade, his eighth grade team. Now he

2522
02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:56,440
Speaker 2: was in this organization for the last was it five years,

2523
02:02:57,080 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 2: so like it was a big deal. Like he played

2524
02:02:59,760 --> 02:03:03,080
Speaker 2: his game for them, he was welling up a little bit, right,

2525
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:05,520
Speaker 2: and like I know the next time he plays a

2526
02:03:05,560 --> 02:03:09,480
Speaker 2: game it'll be for his high school. And you know,

2527
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:12,680
Speaker 2: like that's but that's football, man, It goes by so fast,

2528
02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:15,879
Speaker 2: Like I just think about it. And you know, training

2529
02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:19,840
Speaker 2: camp and all those long, hard, hot summer days leads

2530
02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:23,160
Speaker 2: into the fall, and it's just so quick, right September

2531
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:27,280
Speaker 2: October and you know, a couple of weeks November, boom,

2532
02:03:27,320 --> 02:03:27,800
Speaker 2: it's over.

2533
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 3: I mean there's no sport like that.

2534
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's part of the magic and chaos that

2535
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:36,800
Speaker 1: leads to the feeling that you're in the middle of

2536
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:39,000
Speaker 1: the whirlwind, you know. And that's one of the things

2537
02:03:39,040 --> 02:03:42,560
Speaker 1: that I think is really interesting in general about sort

2538
02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:44,800
Speaker 1: of the difference in each of these and we talk

2539
02:03:44,840 --> 02:03:47,440
Speaker 1: about so often, but the fact is, like you can

2540
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:50,840
Speaker 1: check out of if if life gets in the way,

2541
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:52,800
Speaker 1: you can check out for a couple of weeks from

2542
02:03:52,880 --> 02:03:55,440
Speaker 1: whatever your favorite basketball team is, whatever your favorite hockey

2543
02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:57,520
Speaker 1: team it is, whatever your favorite baseball team. Like you

2544
02:03:57,520 --> 02:03:59,240
Speaker 1: can check out for a minute, come back and say, okay,

2545
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:01,240
Speaker 1: where are we what's going on? You can do that.

2546
02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:03,640
Speaker 1: You can't do that during these seasons, and this is

2547
02:04:03,720 --> 02:04:06,000
Speaker 1: just there's such a short amount of time and a

2548
02:04:06,040 --> 02:04:08,640
Speaker 1: short amount of games. It just it's different. And as

2549
02:04:08,640 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I've said a million times, you know, I'm not a

2550
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:12,360
Speaker 1: huge baseball guy. But you know, as I've said a

2551
02:04:12,360 --> 02:04:15,920
Speaker 1: million times, the Yankees Red Sox series, like one game

2552
02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:18,320
Speaker 1: of the Yankees Red Sox because of the number of

2553
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:21,560
Speaker 1: baseball games, like one Raiders Chiefs game is the same

2554
02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:24,840
Speaker 1: as ten straight Yankees Red Sox games. Like when you

2555
02:04:24,880 --> 02:04:27,920
Speaker 1: think about that math, it just it's it's the reason

2556
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 1: that there's such urgencies to the season, which is why

2557
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 1: we love covering it.

2558
02:04:31,280 --> 02:04:35,480
Speaker 3: Brother, yeah we do. It's uh, it is great.

2559
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:38,120
Speaker 2: Like I think about and like I love baseball, but

2560
02:04:38,320 --> 02:04:40,960
Speaker 2: baseball is best in the fall.

2561
02:04:41,440 --> 02:04:45,600
Speaker 3: So you have like this June, July, August.

2562
02:04:45,200 --> 02:04:51,640
Speaker 2: Three months of like slog right where it's basically just baseball,

2563
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:54,200
Speaker 2: which I look at it. I love the sport but

2564
02:04:54,240 --> 02:04:57,160
Speaker 2: it's not even the best part of the sport, which

2565
02:04:57,200 --> 02:05:00,080
Speaker 2: is which is odd, right, Like the best part of

2566
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:04,360
Speaker 2: the sport happens in October and they rush through it.

2567
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:05,160
Speaker 3: It's weird fake.

2568
02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:08,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we've talked that nauseum about you know what

2569
02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:10,480
Speaker 4: you can do to help. I don't really don't think

2570
02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:12,040
Speaker 4: there's anything you can do. That's just kind of how

2571
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:15,480
Speaker 4: the sport is inherently built, uh for baseball, which I

2572
02:05:15,480 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 4: don't in some senses don't necessarily mind because look, independent

2573
02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:20,520
Speaker 4: of having that in the summer, what else do you have?

2574
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:21,200
Speaker 1: You know?

2575
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:22,920
Speaker 3: So there is that.

2576
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:24,880
Speaker 4: That's I guess you could say it's baseball's time to

2577
02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:27,200
Speaker 4: shine at that point in time. But yeah, there's something

2578
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:29,680
Speaker 4: different about postseason baseball in the fall. I will give

2579
02:05:29,720 --> 02:05:32,360
Speaker 4: you that, but you know what, you know fits use

2580
02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:34,480
Speaker 4: the analogy saying like, hey, this is our final weekend

2581
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:36,600
Speaker 4: with our with our baby who's getting ready to go

2582
02:05:36,680 --> 02:05:38,280
Speaker 4: out of town. Well, you know what, it's gonna be

2583
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 4: a couple of fun nights. Look at it that way,

2584
02:05:41,720 --> 02:05:49,200
Speaker 4: real fun weekend because because it's because it's almost over,

2585
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:51,320
Speaker 4: and like you mentioned, so that's uh, I'm not gonna

2586
02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:53,720
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna fast forward through the weekend and say,

2587
02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:55,200
Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm gonna miss it so much. I'm

2588
02:05:55,200 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 4: going to try to live in this moment and know

2589
02:05:57,560 --> 02:06:00,160
Speaker 4: how much I'm going to enjoy it. About that, That's

2590
02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:01,280
Speaker 4: the way I want to look at I like that

2591
02:06:01,320 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 4: a lot.

2592
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:04,760
Speaker 2: So we've been going through it, and Fitzy, we'll be

2593
02:06:04,840 --> 02:06:07,040
Speaker 2: going through the day a lot. We talked a lot

2594
02:06:07,080 --> 02:06:12,040
Speaker 2: about Georgia Tennessee, which is an interesting game. Tennessee keep

2595
02:06:12,040 --> 02:06:14,160
Speaker 2: it close. We all kind of don't feel like it,

2596
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:18,120
Speaker 2: but I don't know. The line is only ten and

2597
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:21,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of leaning. I'm kind of feeling a weird

2598
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:25,760
Speaker 2: feeling everything my head. Georgia. I think Georgia wins, but

2599
02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 2: it could be a scare. Louisville Miami. Fitzy, you that's

2600
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:34,200
Speaker 2: another good game. But you were talking about and North

2601
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:36,800
Speaker 2: Carolina Clemson. Where's your head at today?

2602
02:06:37,320 --> 02:06:39,880
Speaker 1: No, man, By the way, North Carolina Clemson should just

2603
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:42,879
Speaker 1: be called the disappointment bull Like I get it to Clemson.

2604
02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 1: It's just not particularly good this year, and that's gonna

2605
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:47,400
Speaker 1: happen sometimes. I'm not going to freak out and overreact

2606
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:50,520
Speaker 1: to Dabbo or any of that, but what's lost in

2607
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:53,320
Speaker 1: that because Clemson is such a disappointment as that we're

2608
02:06:53,360 --> 02:06:57,080
Speaker 1: sitting here just anointing yet again, like Drake May some

2609
02:06:57,200 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 1: now are making him the topic in the NFL Draft,

2610
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:02,440
Speaker 1: and we watched this traight mid second straight time that

2611
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:05,200
Speaker 1: like you've got quarterbacks back to back at North Carolina

2612
02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:07,720
Speaker 1: and this felt like a pretty open year for them,

2613
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:09,800
Speaker 1: like the year where it was there to be taken

2614
02:07:09,880 --> 02:07:12,560
Speaker 1: and they didn't get it done. Like I feel like

2615
02:07:12,640 --> 02:07:14,600
Speaker 1: both of these teams are going to look back at

2616
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:16,160
Speaker 1: this year and say, oh my bad, We'll try it

2617
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 1: again next year. But like this is a disappointment for

2618
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,800
Speaker 1: North Carolina and tar Hill fans are gonna have to

2619
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: look in the mirror and figure out, like is this

2620
02:07:22,600 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: what they're bound to be? Like talented offensive weapons are

2621
02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:27,600
Speaker 1: going to come through, they'll want to play there, but

2622
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,000
Speaker 1: for what, you know, what's the end goal there? It's

2623
02:07:30,040 --> 02:07:32,560
Speaker 1: obviously not to win championships. I'm not even sure it's

2624
02:07:32,560 --> 02:07:35,280
Speaker 1: to win the ACC Like they're just sort of they're there,

2625
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:38,120
Speaker 1: but they're not They're not significant. So I did this

2626
02:07:38,160 --> 02:07:39,280
Speaker 1: as the bummer Bowl.

2627
02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:42,600
Speaker 4: For me, it's only interesting to me North Carolina, Clemson,

2628
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:46,839
Speaker 4: if Louisville happens to lose to Miami, because then North Carolina,

2629
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 4: believe it or not, can still win the ACC Conference.

2630
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:51,160
Speaker 4: I know it's not a national title, it's not the

2631
02:07:51,840 --> 02:07:54,000
Speaker 4: national playoff, but if they make it in up facing

2632
02:07:54,040 --> 02:07:56,360
Speaker 4: Florida State, you know, they still have a way to

2633
02:07:56,360 --> 02:07:58,360
Speaker 4: be able to find a way to win win the conference.

2634
02:07:58,400 --> 02:08:00,840
Speaker 4: And who would have thought that three weeks ago, still

2635
02:08:00,840 --> 02:08:01,920
Speaker 4: something to play for there for.

2636
02:08:01,880 --> 02:08:05,040
Speaker 2: Them and in one of the big games Tonight's a

2637
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:09,400
Speaker 2: couple of big games tonight on Fox Texas Iowa State

2638
02:08:09,440 --> 02:08:12,600
Speaker 2: of Chris Texas, that one loss team that looks like

2639
02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:15,360
Speaker 2: it's gonna have a lot of trouble uh steaking into

2640
02:08:15,360 --> 02:08:18,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But you know, Iowa State is a tough

2641
02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:21,200
Speaker 2: place to play. You know, I was just talking to

2642
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:26,720
Speaker 2: rock O Becked yesterday, quarterback for the Cyclones. That's a

2643
02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:27,640
Speaker 2: big game.

2644
02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:29,840
Speaker 3: And son of Anthony Becked, I believe, yeah, one more

2645
02:08:29,920 --> 02:08:30,320
Speaker 3: tight end.

2646
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:32,960
Speaker 2: Correct, it's a dear friend of mine.

2647
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 4: We go wait nice, Yeah, And you know, Iowa State's

2648
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 4: kind of like and to a lesser state, Kansas State

2649
02:08:39,200 --> 02:08:41,760
Speaker 4: sometimes too. Both of those places in the Big Twelve

2650
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:44,280
Speaker 4: are sort of like the Oregon State, the place where

2651
02:08:44,600 --> 02:08:47,480
Speaker 4: you know, teams go late in the season you like

2652
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:49,400
Speaker 4: and look Iowa State, they got off to an awful

2653
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:51,960
Speaker 4: start and they started playing a little bit better towards

2654
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 4: the back end of the year. They're still not a

2655
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 4: great team, but on the road Texas with a lot

2656
02:08:56,080 --> 02:08:59,360
Speaker 4: to play for, they're missing their starting tailback. I feel

2657
02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:01,320
Speaker 4: like this is kind of I won those situations where

2658
02:09:01,360 --> 02:09:03,760
Speaker 4: Texas can be right right for picking I can see

2659
02:09:03,800 --> 02:09:06,560
Speaker 4: Iowa State at the very least cover in the spread

2660
02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:07,600
Speaker 4: and possibly getting to win.

2661
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:08,760
Speaker 3: Here. I can see it happening.

2662
02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree with you at all here. I

2663
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:15,120
Speaker 1: feel like Texas has been a little up and down

2664
02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:18,600
Speaker 1: with some of it, and you're right, Iowa State particularly

2665
02:09:18,720 --> 02:09:22,040
Speaker 1: can be I love this word plucky. Right in these situations,

2666
02:09:22,360 --> 02:09:25,640
Speaker 1: I think Texas pulls it out. Also, Texas a lot

2667
02:09:25,680 --> 02:09:29,000
Speaker 1: to play for right now, But there is this element

2668
02:09:29,040 --> 02:09:30,760
Speaker 1: where Texas I don't think they're going to get the

2669
02:09:30,840 --> 02:09:33,040
Speaker 1: style points that they would need to get, Like they

2670
02:09:33,080 --> 02:09:35,800
Speaker 1: need to come out and win so convincingly in every

2671
02:09:35,800 --> 02:09:38,400
Speaker 1: single game that people rethink the rankings. I don't think

2672
02:09:38,400 --> 02:09:39,840
Speaker 1: they'll get that out of this, but I do think

2673
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:40,200
Speaker 1: they'll win.

2674
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:46,240
Speaker 2: And then is just a nasty we talked about a

2675
02:09:46,240 --> 02:09:52,200
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, but corn Valas is a nasty place

2676
02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:57,800
Speaker 2: to go on that Saturday night, and we got Washington

2677
02:09:57,920 --> 02:10:04,400
Speaker 2: one of the unbeatens at Oregon State. This is going

2678
02:10:04,440 --> 02:10:08,680
Speaker 2: to be an incredible game. Oregon State is the favorite one.

2679
02:10:08,760 --> 02:10:11,000
Speaker 2: Pay a point. How bout it?

2680
02:10:11,120 --> 02:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Man?

2681
02:10:11,880 --> 02:10:17,440
Speaker 2: Thiguis are resident pat twelve man. This is an incredible game.

2682
02:10:18,240 --> 02:10:20,640
Speaker 4: Well, if you look at a styles make fight situation,

2683
02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:23,000
Speaker 4: this is kind of like the high flying, spread out

2684
02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:26,000
Speaker 4: Washington Huskies versus a very you know, Oregon State kind

2685
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:28,440
Speaker 4: of plays an old school Big ten the type of

2686
02:10:28,520 --> 02:10:29,200
Speaker 4: you know offense.

2687
02:10:29,280 --> 02:10:31,480
Speaker 3: They ground and pound, take a shot.

2688
02:10:31,200 --> 02:10:33,840
Speaker 4: Here or there with dj Ewey Young Lala, play really

2689
02:10:33,920 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 4: tough defense. So it really just depends on what kind

2690
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 4: of game this, you know, this thing, what kind of

2691
02:10:39,320 --> 02:10:41,520
Speaker 4: game Oregon State ends up playing here. If Washington can

2692
02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:43,440
Speaker 4: get them in the track meet and get them to

2693
02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:45,480
Speaker 4: score some points early on to try to force Oregon

2694
02:10:45,480 --> 02:10:46,200
Speaker 4: States to keep up.

2695
02:10:46,160 --> 02:10:47,640
Speaker 3: With them, then Washington will win.

2696
02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:50,080
Speaker 4: But if this is one of those you know, seventeen

2697
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 4: to fourteen, and we've seen Washington's offense sputter at times,

2698
02:10:53,200 --> 02:10:55,280
Speaker 4: go back to that Arizona game about a month ago

2699
02:10:55,520 --> 02:10:57,200
Speaker 4: where I think the final score was thirty one to

2700
02:10:57,200 --> 02:10:59,720
Speaker 4: twenty four. Michael Penix didn't even have a passing touchdown

2701
02:11:00,160 --> 02:11:01,600
Speaker 4: in that game. They had to win a game, what

2702
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:03,520
Speaker 4: was it, sixteen to seven where they didn't score an

2703
02:11:03,520 --> 02:11:06,800
Speaker 4: offensive touchdown. So Washington has had their struggles, not only

2704
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:10,000
Speaker 4: defensively at times, but offensively. So if I had to,

2705
02:11:10,280 --> 02:11:12,720
Speaker 4: I'm not putting any money on this one because I can't,

2706
02:11:12,760 --> 02:11:14,760
Speaker 4: But if I had to, I think I might take

2707
02:11:14,760 --> 02:11:18,160
Speaker 4: the beaves in an upset. I feeling it, Yeah, I

2708
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:19,920
Speaker 4: would you fit you?

2709
02:11:20,080 --> 02:11:20,640
Speaker 2: What do you think?

2710
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 1: The thing of it is that you can A good

2711
02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 1: defense can bait Djujungalulay into mistakes. We all know that,

2712
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:30,720
Speaker 1: and a good defense can make that happen. This isn't

2713
02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:33,600
Speaker 1: a great defense, right, so that's part of it. Your

2714
02:11:33,680 --> 02:11:37,160
Speaker 1: right styles make fights. Part of what's interesting about this

2715
02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:42,000
Speaker 1: is because Washington's defense hasn't been particularly good or particularly efficient,

2716
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:44,880
Speaker 1: it feels like teams have scored and that has created

2717
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:47,680
Speaker 1: more of this back and forth, back and forth, sort

2718
02:11:47,680 --> 02:11:50,800
Speaker 1: of a high flying, high numbers sorts of games for them.

2719
02:11:50,920 --> 02:11:54,600
Speaker 1: I just you're right, Figgie, I think the best method

2720
02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:57,280
Speaker 1: here is to slow this down. And make it look ugly,

2721
02:11:57,320 --> 02:12:01,560
Speaker 1: which they can do. You know, Washington has a ton

2722
02:12:01,800 --> 02:12:04,960
Speaker 1: on the line in this game, but the up and

2723
02:12:05,040 --> 02:12:07,600
Speaker 1: down of the offensive times is the part that really

2724
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:10,480
Speaker 1: scares me. And this Michael Bennick Junior has been good

2725
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:14,040
Speaker 1: but not great in every game and that makes me

2726
02:12:14,040 --> 02:12:15,960
Speaker 1: a little nervous in it too. I'm nervous about it.

2727
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 1: But I lean Washington. But I'm with Figie. I'm not

2728
02:12:18,560 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 1: putting anything on this, Like my cash is staying far

2729
02:12:21,080 --> 02:12:22,320
Speaker 1: away from this. There's too much risk.

2730
02:12:22,440 --> 02:12:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2731
02:12:22,640 --> 02:12:25,120
Speaker 4: Look, as an admitted Pac twelve apologists, I want Washington

2732
02:12:25,160 --> 02:12:27,280
Speaker 4: to win, but that's just I just don't see. I mean,

2733
02:12:27,320 --> 02:12:29,480
Speaker 4: I can see obviously they can win, but just from

2734
02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:31,920
Speaker 4: a matchup standpoint, how Oregon State has really played this year,

2735
02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:35,040
Speaker 4: how Washington has played recently. I really think the Bees

2736
02:12:35,040 --> 02:12:35,920
Speaker 4: are going to get this one.

2737
02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Boy, if they get this one, like hammer the under

2738
02:12:39,200 --> 02:12:41,360
Speaker 1: on this, it feels like I hammer the undergame, Right'll

2739
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:42,160
Speaker 1: be comfortable with that.

2740
02:12:43,240 --> 02:12:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, and I think.

2741
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:48,280
Speaker 4: The world and I'm looking at sixty three and a

2742
02:12:48,320 --> 02:12:50,200
Speaker 4: half right now at the at the over.

2743
02:12:50,160 --> 02:12:55,560
Speaker 3: Umer Ah, are you serious over the under on that? Yeah? Yeah,

2744
02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:56,400
Speaker 3: I agree.

2745
02:12:56,480 --> 02:13:00,280
Speaker 2: Coming up don't forget the big brain on brad get

2746
02:13:00,360 --> 02:13:04,480
Speaker 2: us with all the all the picks coming up straight ahead.

2747
02:13:05,320 --> 02:13:09,280
Speaker 2: But let me get to tomorrow, and it's not a

2748
02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:13,000
Speaker 2: great slate tomorrow. The big game obviously is Monday night

2749
02:13:13,360 --> 02:13:17,000
Speaker 2: and the Super Bowl rematch between the Eagles and the Chiefs.

2750
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:20,320
Speaker 3: But it is an interesting game in Cleveland.

2751
02:13:20,920 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 2: Brown's trying to hold on without Deshaun Watson. There's not

2752
02:13:25,520 --> 02:13:29,080
Speaker 2: a sign Flaco they got the Steelers right, all of

2753
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:32,760
Speaker 2: a sudden, that division decimated by injury. The Bengals were

2754
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:37,320
Speaker 2: done without Burrow. The Ravens, as great as they've had,

2755
02:13:37,400 --> 02:13:40,160
Speaker 2: the great as they played, have taken a huge hit

2756
02:13:40,720 --> 02:13:44,480
Speaker 2: with Andrews being lost for this season. So this is

2757
02:13:44,520 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 2: an interesting game. Steelers are right there at six and

2758
02:13:48,440 --> 02:13:50,000
Speaker 2: three FITSI.

2759
02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not good like I mean, this is

2760
02:13:52,880 --> 02:13:55,200
Speaker 1: the thing where the Steelers are winning games and we're

2761
02:13:55,200 --> 02:13:57,600
Speaker 1: sitting here saying, oh my god, Mike Tomlin, this is incredible.

2762
02:13:57,640 --> 02:13:59,760
Speaker 1: And as it's now been well chronicled, they've been out

2763
02:13:59,760 --> 02:14:02,480
Speaker 1: gaining in every game. Right, So there's this moment for

2764
02:14:02,560 --> 02:14:05,240
Speaker 1: me where Cleveland has won with their backup quarterback. Already

2765
02:14:05,280 --> 02:14:07,600
Speaker 1: we know that they've been able to manage this year,

2766
02:14:07,680 --> 02:14:10,080
Speaker 1: and frankly, they're not gonna win or lose because of

2767
02:14:10,120 --> 02:14:12,839
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Cleveland's gonna win or lose because their defense

2768
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:14,600
Speaker 1: and their ability to find a way to run the

2769
02:14:14,600 --> 02:14:17,160
Speaker 1: ball no matter who's running the football. So gonna be

2770
02:14:17,200 --> 02:14:20,240
Speaker 1: hard to get the run going against this Pittsburgh defense, maybe,

2771
02:14:20,520 --> 02:14:22,600
Speaker 1: but man, I feel like because that's the only thing

2772
02:14:22,640 --> 02:14:25,200
Speaker 1: they'll have to commit to stop. I trust the Cleveland

2773
02:14:25,200 --> 02:14:27,680
Speaker 1: defense against Kenny Pickett all day and twice on Tuesday.

2774
02:14:27,760 --> 02:14:29,920
Speaker 1: So like, I feel like Cleveland wins this game, and

2775
02:14:29,960 --> 02:14:33,280
Speaker 1: this starts the dismantling of the Steelers as a good

2776
02:14:33,320 --> 02:14:35,880
Speaker 1: football team starts. It doesn't mean that I believe in

2777
02:14:35,920 --> 02:14:38,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland moving forward. Hell, I don't know who to believe

2778
02:14:38,320 --> 02:14:41,680
Speaker 1: in this division now. I guess Baltimore. I think that Andrews' injury, though,

2779
02:14:41,680 --> 02:14:44,920
Speaker 1: is massive, so you know, I think Cleveland could still

2780
02:14:44,920 --> 02:14:46,480
Speaker 1: come out and get the win. I'm not panicking for

2781
02:14:46,520 --> 02:14:47,360
Speaker 1: the Browns yet.

2782
02:14:47,880 --> 02:14:50,040
Speaker 3: No, although I do think this is a tough spot.

2783
02:14:50,240 --> 02:14:52,320
Speaker 4: Granted it helps it there at home, but going against

2784
02:14:52,360 --> 02:14:54,840
Speaker 4: that Pittsburgh defense with your backup in there can be

2785
02:14:54,880 --> 02:14:56,840
Speaker 4: a tough sled and in the look, and I agree

2786
02:14:56,920 --> 02:15:00,200
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh is not good. You mentioned that they just find

2787
02:15:00,240 --> 02:15:02,720
Speaker 4: ways to win as bad as Kenny Pikett is kind

2788
02:15:02,760 --> 02:15:04,480
Speaker 4: of doing his Tim Tebow thing right now, where he

2789
02:15:04,520 --> 02:15:06,640
Speaker 4: plays terribly for three quarters and then he finds a way,

2790
02:15:06,640 --> 02:15:08,200
Speaker 4: he has one drive at the end of the game

2791
02:15:08,440 --> 02:15:11,040
Speaker 4: and does just enough to get them to victories. And

2792
02:15:11,080 --> 02:15:12,920
Speaker 4: I kind of see that game or that kind of

2793
02:15:12,920 --> 02:15:15,520
Speaker 4: style of fight happening here in Cleveland. So I still

2794
02:15:15,520 --> 02:15:17,160
Speaker 4: think I don't think Steelers are good, but I do

2795
02:15:17,200 --> 02:15:19,320
Speaker 4: think that they have the advantage over Cleveland considering how

2796
02:15:19,360 --> 02:15:22,280
Speaker 4: good they are up front defensively against the backup quarterback

2797
02:15:22,320 --> 02:15:22,879
Speaker 4: in DTR.

2798
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:25,680
Speaker 3: So I still like Pittsburgh in this particular game.

2799
02:15:26,400 --> 02:15:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked. I think the Steelers now again that

2800
02:15:29,440 --> 02:15:30,680
Speaker 2: Browns defense.

2801
02:15:30,400 --> 02:15:33,320
Speaker 3: Is legit great. Yeah, it's a great It really is

2802
02:15:33,320 --> 02:15:33,880
Speaker 3: a great unit.

2803
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:38,360
Speaker 2: The only thing is Pittsburgh has been running the ball better.

2804
02:15:38,680 --> 02:15:41,080
Speaker 2: They've gotten heal fier along the offensive line.

2805
02:15:41,760 --> 02:15:42,040
Speaker 3: Nag.

2806
02:15:42,120 --> 02:15:45,720
Speaker 2: He looks better suddenly with some good blocking, and Warren

2807
02:15:45,840 --> 02:15:48,680
Speaker 2: is a terrific, you know, change of pace back as

2808
02:15:48,720 --> 02:15:51,120
Speaker 2: we thought he would be. He reminds me a lot

2809
02:15:51,120 --> 02:15:51,680
Speaker 2: of Poward.

2810
02:15:53,760 --> 02:15:57,320
Speaker 1: I think that that's an interesting comparison That's an interesting

2811
02:15:57,360 --> 02:15:59,320
Speaker 1: comp in my mind. But what you said at the

2812
02:15:59,360 --> 02:16:01,360
Speaker 1: beginning of it, though, line getting healthy is making it

2813
02:16:01,400 --> 02:16:04,120
Speaker 1: so much easier for the backs to run it, And

2814
02:16:04,280 --> 02:16:07,200
Speaker 1: you and Baldi looking at all the film, you know

2815
02:16:07,320 --> 02:16:09,760
Speaker 1: this as as well as anybody. I feel like I

2816
02:16:09,880 --> 02:16:12,120
Speaker 1: just continually look at bad offensive line plays. So the

2817
02:16:12,200 --> 02:16:14,879
Speaker 1: question is are they playing. Are they running the football

2818
02:16:14,880 --> 02:16:17,360
Speaker 1: better because the running backs are seeing it better, or

2819
02:16:17,400 --> 02:16:20,080
Speaker 1: they're running the football better because the line's holding up better.

2820
02:16:20,120 --> 02:16:22,000
Speaker 1: And if the answer is the lines holding up better,

2821
02:16:22,160 --> 02:16:24,600
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna hold up better against this defense in front.

2822
02:16:24,640 --> 02:16:27,760
Speaker 1: For Cleveland, I really think there's a come to Jesus

2823
02:16:27,800 --> 02:16:30,440
Speaker 1: moment for them on that one. But yeah, I do

2824
02:16:30,520 --> 02:16:32,200
Speaker 1: agree with you that they have been able to run

2825
02:16:32,240 --> 02:16:33,920
Speaker 1: the ball more efficiently, and they've been running it a

2826
02:16:33,959 --> 02:16:34,920
Speaker 1: little bit cleaner lately.

2827
02:16:36,400 --> 02:16:40,480
Speaker 2: Uh, Jags, you got to get better after they're getting pasted.

2828
02:16:41,800 --> 02:16:43,960
Speaker 2: That was that was something that kind of caught us

2829
02:16:43,959 --> 02:16:46,879
Speaker 2: by surprise. I thought then, as I thought that game

2830
02:16:46,920 --> 02:16:51,720
Speaker 2: would be a little bit closer. I mean, the Jags

2831
02:16:51,760 --> 02:16:53,760
Speaker 2: just got manhandled that game.

2832
02:16:54,160 --> 02:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to bounce back, but they also like,

2833
02:16:56,920 --> 02:16:59,360
Speaker 1: this is a big moment for Tennessee because Will Levice

2834
02:16:59,640 --> 02:17:02,160
Speaker 1: had his first sort of rookie game last time, right like,

2835
02:17:02,240 --> 02:17:04,960
Speaker 1: so Will Levis didn't look great in that game, and

2836
02:17:05,080 --> 02:17:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, Tennessee obviously not helping him a lot either.

2837
02:17:07,600 --> 02:17:10,640
Speaker 1: That we talk about offensive line that their pass protection

2838
02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:13,240
Speaker 1: is just a Biz mullen, so you know, he's got

2839
02:17:13,280 --> 02:17:15,640
Speaker 1: one person to throw it to basically, and they had

2840
02:17:15,640 --> 02:17:17,680
Speaker 1: a case of the drops, so some of the receivers

2841
02:17:17,720 --> 02:17:20,400
Speaker 1: did last week. So I think Tennessee, you know, the

2842
02:17:20,760 --> 02:17:23,199
Speaker 1: most interesting thing for them every week right now is

2843
02:17:23,200 --> 02:17:25,720
Speaker 1: is Will Levis the guy. So this actually is a

2844
02:17:25,760 --> 02:17:28,320
Speaker 1: really important game for the Titans to see against a

2845
02:17:28,360 --> 02:17:30,880
Speaker 1: pretty good Jags team, how he's gonna look and what

2846
02:17:30,920 --> 02:17:33,160
Speaker 1: they can do. But I'm curious, is we get more

2847
02:17:33,200 --> 02:17:35,400
Speaker 1: and more film on Will Levis what all of this

2848
02:17:35,520 --> 02:17:37,440
Speaker 1: means for his development, because we live in this CJ.

2849
02:17:37,520 --> 02:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Stroud world where you know, you see greatness on the

2850
02:17:40,800 --> 02:17:43,000
Speaker 1: one side, So like it or not, that's gonna be

2851
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:45,800
Speaker 1: the comparison for everybody. So I'm really interested to see

2852
02:17:45,840 --> 02:17:48,280
Speaker 1: if the Jags bounce back and if Will Levis bounces back.

2853
02:17:48,400 --> 02:17:51,600
Speaker 2: Well, you took the you took the CJ. Stroud right

2854
02:17:51,640 --> 02:17:54,400
Speaker 2: out of my mouth because he was the next guy

2855
02:17:54,520 --> 02:17:57,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about and figure I'll go to you.

2856
02:17:57,240 --> 02:18:01,600
Speaker 2: He's the guy that I just can't stop watching on film.

2857
02:18:01,879 --> 02:18:06,840
Speaker 2: He's weak in week out, one of the best rookie seasons.

2858
02:18:06,640 --> 02:18:10,400
Speaker 4: Ever, really incredible mess. I mean, the way he's understanding

2859
02:18:10,440 --> 02:18:12,440
Speaker 4: of the game is ridiculous. That that I mean, I

2860
02:18:13,200 --> 02:18:15,320
Speaker 4: thought he'd be good, but not like this and not

2861
02:18:15,400 --> 02:18:16,080
Speaker 4: this soon fit.

2862
02:18:16,240 --> 02:18:17,640
Speaker 3: I didn't think it'd be that good at all, to

2863
02:18:17,680 --> 02:18:18,320
Speaker 3: be honest with you.

2864
02:18:18,360 --> 02:18:20,200
Speaker 4: So he's really, you know, putt an egg on my face,

2865
02:18:20,240 --> 02:18:22,280
Speaker 4: you know, because he had so many clean pockets at

2866
02:18:22,280 --> 02:18:24,680
Speaker 4: Ohio State, so many well defined throws, and really the

2867
02:18:24,680 --> 02:18:27,200
Speaker 4: only game where people said wow, he's got something was

2868
02:18:27,240 --> 02:18:29,440
Speaker 4: against Georgia, and you're like, well, is that an aberration

2869
02:18:29,640 --> 02:18:30,000
Speaker 4: or is that?

2870
02:18:30,120 --> 02:18:30,360
Speaker 1: You know?

2871
02:18:30,560 --> 02:18:30,959
Speaker 3: For real?

2872
02:18:31,120 --> 02:18:35,400
Speaker 4: And he has been absolutely amazing, being able to read defense,

2873
02:18:35,480 --> 02:18:37,520
Speaker 4: checking out of place, you know, being able to move

2874
02:18:37,560 --> 02:18:41,120
Speaker 4: around the pocket, placing balls where only receivers can get it,

2875
02:18:41,240 --> 02:18:44,360
Speaker 4: like he has leaps and bounds. Impressed the hell out

2876
02:18:44,400 --> 02:18:46,320
Speaker 4: of me so far. This He's easily going to be

2877
02:18:46,720 --> 02:18:49,080
Speaker 4: the offensive rookie of the year. I think the MVP

2878
02:18:49,200 --> 02:18:50,640
Speaker 4: is a little bit of a stretch, though we still

2879
02:18:50,640 --> 02:18:52,320
Speaker 4: have to see how this season ends up playing out. Look,

2880
02:18:52,320 --> 02:18:54,320
Speaker 4: if they end up making the postseason and even finding

2881
02:18:54,360 --> 02:18:56,600
Speaker 4: a way to win the division, maybe it's a conversation

2882
02:18:56,680 --> 02:18:59,680
Speaker 4: we can have. But he has impressed me by leaps

2883
02:18:59,720 --> 02:19:01,240
Speaker 4: and back. He's been incredible.

2884
02:19:01,920 --> 02:19:04,600
Speaker 1: I will tell you quick to hear that one of

2885
02:19:04,640 --> 02:19:07,840
Speaker 1: my buddies is working on a story about CJ Strodden

2886
02:19:07,840 --> 02:19:10,560
Speaker 1: his development, and I heard this interesting nugget the other

2887
02:19:10,640 --> 02:19:14,880
Speaker 1: day from from her that the CJ was reaching out

2888
02:19:14,879 --> 02:19:18,160
Speaker 1: to different wide receivers right after he got drafted, after

2889
02:19:18,200 --> 02:19:20,800
Speaker 1: looking at their film and saying, Hey, I really like

2890
02:19:20,920 --> 02:19:22,880
Speaker 1: this route, what do you like about that? And things

2891

2893
02:19:27,080 --> 02:19:29,039

2894
02:19:29,040 --> 02:19:31,720
Speaker 1: the from the from day one about what he wanted,

2895
02:19:31,760 --> 02:19:33,480
Speaker 1: how we wanted to run it, and what he could

2896
02:19:33,520 --> 02:19:35,240

2939
02:21:56,320 --> 02:22:00,360
Speaker 5: Brad, good morning, my friend, Hawaii Ansnate, my.

2940
02:22:00,520 --> 02:22:05,400
Speaker 3: Man, you just just slane them. Boom boom boom.

2941
02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:09,800
Speaker 2: That's impressive. Man, You're like, you know, at the at

2942
02:22:09,800 --> 02:22:11,480
Speaker 2: the shooting gallery, at the arcade.

2943
02:22:12,280 --> 02:22:16,440
Speaker 5: Well, and again it's this is what I do. That's funny.

2944
02:22:16,440 --> 02:22:19,040
Speaker 5: My Fancie always makes fun of me. She's like, You're

2945
02:22:19,040 --> 02:22:21,520
Speaker 5: the only person I know who's working every single second

2946
02:22:21,520 --> 02:22:24,560
Speaker 5: of the day. And that's that's just how I'm like

2947
02:22:24,560 --> 02:22:26,560
Speaker 5: OCD with it. But that's why I think I'm good

2948
02:22:26,560 --> 02:22:30,520
Speaker 5: at it. And again, Brad, that's on Twitter. I really

2949
02:22:30,640 --> 02:22:33,840
Speaker 5: truly the only thing is because I do very well.

2950
02:22:34,160 --> 02:22:35,520
Speaker 5: I think it's worth people. If you want to take

2951
02:22:35,560 --> 02:22:37,720
Speaker 5: a look at what I do for people, I definitely

2952
02:22:37,760 --> 02:22:39,080
Speaker 5: think it's extremely worth it.

2953
02:22:38,840 --> 02:22:40,119
Speaker 1: It really mean.

2954
02:22:40,600 --> 02:22:43,200
Speaker 5: Again, I'm one hundred dollars better would be up six

2955
02:22:43,240 --> 02:22:45,440
Speaker 5: thousand dollars, a thousand dollars better would be up sixty

2956
02:22:45,440 --> 02:22:47,880
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. And that's just in two months.

2957
02:22:48,200 --> 02:22:49,879
Speaker 2: I mean, that's ridiculous.

2958
02:22:49,920 --> 02:22:50,600
Speaker 5: You could do the math.

2959
02:22:50,640 --> 02:22:55,320
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. It's so awesome. All right, so

2960
02:22:55,440 --> 02:23:00,680
Speaker 2: let's do this. Let's let's start off Georgia ten See.

2961
02:23:01,200 --> 02:23:07,440
Speaker 2: Now Tennessee getting bombed by Missouri. Right I I me

2962
02:23:07,520 --> 02:23:09,720
Speaker 2: and the guys talking about this. I keep going back

2963
02:23:10,160 --> 02:23:13,680
Speaker 2: that line is the nagging line. That's its Tennessee line.

2964
02:23:15,320 --> 02:23:19,680
Speaker 5: Well, look, Tennessee has been a power ranked team, very hot.

2965
02:23:19,720 --> 02:23:22,160
Speaker 5: It's funny last week, and I'm still mad at myself.

2966
02:23:22,240 --> 02:23:24,360
Speaker 5: I'm still really mad at myself. I told you that

2967
02:23:25,720 --> 02:23:30,600
Speaker 5: last week was a game where I I didn't trust

2968
02:23:30,680 --> 02:23:33,720
Speaker 5: my numbers enough because another I listened to other people

2969
02:23:33,720 --> 02:23:36,520
Speaker 5: and I got off it. But I really liked I

2970
02:23:36,560 --> 02:23:41,480
Speaker 5: really liked Mississippi, not MISSIPI Missouri to beat Tennessee. I

2971
02:23:41,480 --> 02:23:44,720
Speaker 5: didn't understand why Tennessee was favored. I flat out had

2972
02:23:44,920 --> 02:23:47,560
Speaker 5: Missouri as the favorite in that game. And Missouri was

2973
02:23:47,800 --> 02:23:51,120
Speaker 5: a team I blatant underrated earlier in the year. Is

2974
02:23:51,160 --> 02:23:53,360
Speaker 5: now a team that I really respect, is a legitimate

2975
02:23:53,400 --> 02:23:56,520
Speaker 5: top ten team. But Tennessee has gotten power rated all year.

2976
02:23:56,560 --> 02:24:01,360
Speaker 5: Anthony is an elite team, and look, they're really not

2977
02:24:01,840 --> 02:24:04,480
Speaker 5: in reality, but they are at home in this game.

2978
02:24:05,560 --> 02:24:09,800
Speaker 5: And Georgia looked had such a good game against Mississippi.

2979
02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:13,039
Speaker 5: That was their best performance of the year for sure.

2980
02:24:13,280 --> 02:24:15,720
Speaker 5: I mean, I think we've been waiting for that Georgia

2981
02:24:15,879 --> 02:24:18,520
Speaker 5: virtual Rosa performance. We got it last week against the

2982
02:24:18,720 --> 02:24:22,880
Speaker 5: very solid Mississippi team. Look, the only way I can

2983
02:24:22,959 --> 02:24:26,160
Speaker 5: personally hear them again, my ratings made this game ten

2984
02:24:26,200 --> 02:24:30,240
Speaker 5: and a half. The line's ten would be the favorite Bulldogs.

2985
02:24:30,480 --> 02:24:34,400
Speaker 5: I just don't trust laying that many points still on

2986
02:24:34,480 --> 02:24:36,080
Speaker 5: the road as a game that I'm looking to do.

2987
02:24:36,840 --> 02:24:38,840
Speaker 5: And the game is gonna mean I'm taking, is gonna

2988
02:24:38,840 --> 02:24:40,480
Speaker 5: be hype for it. But again, I just don't trust

2989
02:24:41,480 --> 02:24:45,560
Speaker 5: Milton enough. He's just I just I just don't. So

2990
02:24:45,879 --> 02:24:48,000
Speaker 5: you were looking to back kind of see not not

2991
02:24:48,080 --> 02:24:51,120
Speaker 5: something I'm gonna be doing because I just I think

2992
02:24:51,160 --> 02:24:53,119
Speaker 5: Tennessee has been a little bit overrated all year from

2993
02:24:53,120 --> 02:24:54,240
Speaker 5: its power ratings point of view.

2994
02:24:55,280 --> 02:24:56,840
Speaker 1: So talk to me about the big game We've all

2995
02:24:56,840 --> 02:25:00,120
Speaker 1: got our eyes on tonight Washington at Oregon State. How

2996
02:25:00,120 --> 02:25:01,279
Speaker 1: do you see that one plan out?

2997
02:25:01,920 --> 02:25:06,160
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny. I I had a bet. I

2998
02:25:06,200 --> 02:25:09,360
Speaker 5: want to say, like five weeks ago, I made a

2999
02:25:09,360 --> 02:25:11,200
Speaker 5: battle in Washington fifty to one or I think it

3000
02:25:11,240 --> 02:25:13,520
Speaker 5: was the one to win the title. And so I

3001
02:25:13,560 --> 02:25:17,320
Speaker 5: followed this team very closely and I have been waiting

3002
02:25:17,680 --> 02:25:21,720
Speaker 5: for this team to loose all year, and that I

3003
02:25:22,560 --> 02:25:24,520
Speaker 5: made that bet, and it's a quote unquote good bet.

3004
02:25:24,760 --> 02:25:27,640
Speaker 5: But I then made a bigger bet that they would

3005
02:25:27,640 --> 02:25:31,320
Speaker 5: not make the playoffs because Washing Washington. I think this

3006
02:25:31,360 --> 02:25:32,920
Speaker 5: is a team that's bu't gonna lose one game. I

3007
02:25:32,959 --> 02:25:36,160
Speaker 5: think they're gonna lose potentially like two games. I don't

3008
02:25:36,320 --> 02:25:39,320
Speaker 5: I don't love. I like Oregon State here now again.

3009
02:25:39,440 --> 02:25:42,560
Speaker 5: Unfortunately the line. Again, I give the lines maker's credit.

3010
02:25:43,040 --> 02:25:45,560
Speaker 5: The line is actually their favorite, their favorite by one

3011
02:25:45,600 --> 02:25:47,720
Speaker 5: and a half points. I actually made them believe it

3012
02:25:47,840 --> 02:25:52,000
Speaker 5: or not a three point favorite. And I like Oregon

3013
02:25:52,040 --> 02:25:54,160
Speaker 5: State here at home. I like the way they play,

3014
02:25:54,240 --> 02:25:58,440
Speaker 5: I like their physicality, and I get I think that

3015
02:25:58,560 --> 02:26:01,920
Speaker 5: Washington will lose this game, and I wouldn't even be stunned.

3016
02:26:02,200 --> 02:26:04,640
Speaker 5: I mean, they should be Washington State. But again, if

3017
02:26:04,680 --> 02:26:06,760
Speaker 5: they win this game, uh and the big and the

3018
02:26:08,240 --> 02:26:10,560
Speaker 5: if they play in the title game against Oregon, I

3019
02:26:10,680 --> 02:26:13,040
Speaker 5: fully expect Oregon to beat them. And by the way,

3020
02:26:13,080 --> 02:26:16,320
Speaker 5: Oregon probably right now, at least of my numbers, guys

3021
02:26:16,360 --> 02:26:19,920
Speaker 5: would be like a legitimate seven plus baby point favorite

3022
02:26:19,920 --> 02:26:22,680
Speaker 5: against Washington. Washington to me looks like a team that

3023
02:26:22,840 --> 02:26:26,440
Speaker 5: is right to be beaten. I love the running game

3024
02:26:26,440 --> 02:26:29,280
Speaker 5: from Oregon State. I would be surprised if Oregon State

3025
02:26:29,320 --> 02:26:32,320
Speaker 5: does not win this game. I like, you know, Oregon State.

3026
02:26:32,360 --> 02:26:33,880
Speaker 5: I think is the right side tonight.

3027
02:26:34,959 --> 02:26:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too.

3028
02:26:36,480 --> 02:26:39,680
Speaker 3: I love Oregon State and this whole thing. I really do.

3029
02:26:40,040 --> 02:26:43,000
Speaker 2: Hey, I got one big question. So we were talking

3030
02:26:43,040 --> 02:26:47,640
Speaker 2: about Ohio State Michigan and the lines already out and

3031
02:26:47,680 --> 02:26:51,400
Speaker 2: Michigan's a five and alight point favorite. You nobody knows

3032
02:26:51,440 --> 02:26:54,520
Speaker 2: Michigan like you do, and I'm and I'm you went there.

3033
02:26:55,480 --> 02:26:59,840
Speaker 3: You know, I'm curious who do you?

3034
02:27:00,280 --> 02:27:03,960
Speaker 2: Because I like Michigan in the game, but I'm curious

3035
02:27:03,959 --> 02:27:04,360
Speaker 2: who yet.

3036
02:27:05,440 --> 02:27:09,320
Speaker 5: Well it's interesting, Anthony. I like Michigan in the game too. Again,

3037
02:27:09,360 --> 02:27:12,480
Speaker 5: my numbers made the line seven. But here's the one

3038
02:27:12,520 --> 02:27:14,360
Speaker 5: thing I didn't like. And I texted you off air

3039
02:27:14,400 --> 02:27:18,680
Speaker 5: about this. Every Michigan fan was celebrating that win against

3040
02:27:18,680 --> 02:27:22,240
Speaker 5: Penn State, and I get it. But to me, Anthony,

3041
02:27:22,320 --> 02:27:26,800
Speaker 5: they ran the ball thirty two straight times in the

3042
02:27:26,879 --> 02:27:29,080
Speaker 5: last two and a half quarters. They didn't attempt the

3043
02:27:29,120 --> 02:27:31,160
Speaker 5: four would pass. But the guy who was the second

3044
02:27:31,240 --> 02:27:35,680
Speaker 5: choice to win the Heisman Trophy before that game, I

3045
02:27:35,680 --> 02:27:38,720
Speaker 5: think the only reason that game was semi close was

3046
02:27:38,800 --> 02:27:41,360
Speaker 5: because I wouldn't even call conservative play call again, they

3047
02:27:41,400 --> 02:27:43,520
Speaker 5: should just pointed every single time they got the ball.

3048
02:27:43,600 --> 02:27:47,120
Speaker 5: They weren't trying to score. I thought Michigan would have

3049
02:27:47,720 --> 02:27:51,640
Speaker 5: embarrassed Penn State if they just did anything from a

3050
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:55,680
Speaker 5: forward pass point of view, because Timme McCarthy is an

3051
02:27:55,720 --> 02:27:58,840
Speaker 5: elite player. I think he's really, really tremendous, and I

3052
02:27:58,959 --> 02:28:02,520
Speaker 5: just thought the play calling is far too conservative and

3053
02:28:02,560 --> 02:28:05,520
Speaker 5: they got away with it. But I I don't know

3054
02:28:05,600 --> 02:28:07,440
Speaker 5: if that was anything to do with Harball not being there.

3055
02:28:07,520 --> 02:28:10,520
Speaker 5: That's the part I'm trying to decipher and how I'm

3056
02:28:10,560 --> 02:28:12,600
Speaker 5: trying to break down the game, because if they're just

3057
02:28:12,680 --> 02:28:14,920
Speaker 5: going to go that and do that every single play,

3058
02:28:15,280 --> 02:28:19,040
Speaker 5: run run, run, run, run, eventually, I think that's not

3059
02:28:19,160 --> 02:28:22,560
Speaker 5: a recipe of winning winning games against good competition. And

3060
02:28:22,600 --> 02:28:24,600
Speaker 5: say what you want to say about Ohio State, they

3061
02:28:24,600 --> 02:28:27,240
Speaker 5: are a good team. But that being said, I do

3062
02:28:28,000 --> 02:28:31,920
Speaker 5: really believe fiercely that Michigan is a better team in

3063
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:33,600
Speaker 5: Ohio State this year. I think this is the best

3064
02:28:33,640 --> 02:28:36,199
Speaker 5: Michigan team since the next team that won the championship

3065
02:28:36,320 --> 02:28:39,240
Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety seven, and I do think they will

3066
02:28:39,240 --> 02:28:41,279
Speaker 5: win the game by a touchdown plus.

3067
02:28:42,120 --> 02:28:44,160
Speaker 1: All Right, so let's move over to the NFL, because

3068
02:28:44,160 --> 02:28:45,760
Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of action there coming up. Over

3069
02:28:45,800 --> 02:28:48,360
Speaker 1: the course of the weekend. I always get nervous when

3070
02:28:48,360 --> 02:28:51,200
Speaker 1: I see big numbers, especially involving my beloved Raiders. They're

3071
02:28:51,240 --> 02:28:54,879
Speaker 1: a huge underdog against Miami. I think that problem feels right.

3072
02:28:54,959 --> 02:28:57,200
Speaker 1: But when you look at numbers, do you get in

3073
02:28:57,320 --> 02:28:59,680
Speaker 1: general when you see that level of a spread thirteen

3074
02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:02,680
Speaker 1: and a half the last I saw on an NFL game,

3075
02:29:02,720 --> 02:29:05,039
Speaker 1: does that make you nervous?

3076
02:29:05,440 --> 02:29:08,800
Speaker 5: Well, it's funny, Like, that's a game, Jason, where I

3077
02:29:08,840 --> 02:29:13,360
Speaker 5: actually look. I was hoping, praying that that line would somehow.

3078
02:29:13,720 --> 02:29:15,680
Speaker 5: I didn't, but it was going to be like ten

3079
02:29:15,879 --> 02:29:20,000
Speaker 5: because I was really going to love Miami. I think

3080
02:29:20,040 --> 02:29:22,480
Speaker 5: that's just I think this is a really tough situational

3081
02:29:22,520 --> 02:29:25,080
Speaker 5: spot for the Raiders. Let's think about it here. They

3082
02:29:25,080 --> 02:29:29,840
Speaker 5: are like broken cigars going literally like winning these two

3083
02:29:29,879 --> 02:29:33,080
Speaker 5: big games with Pierce as a new coach, beating the

3084
02:29:33,160 --> 02:29:35,320
Speaker 5: Jets in a fifty to fifty game at the end,

3085
02:29:36,440 --> 02:29:38,600
Speaker 5: throwing the Giants at home, two home games where they

3086
02:29:38,640 --> 02:29:41,240
Speaker 5: took care of business against two New York teams. Now

3087
02:29:41,240 --> 02:29:43,160
Speaker 5: they're facing a team in Miami off a bye who

3088
02:29:43,240 --> 02:29:46,240
Speaker 5: By the way, the thing about Miami, I'm just going forward.

3089
02:29:46,320 --> 02:29:51,160
Speaker 5: Everyone listening. I think the hidden gym in Miami is

3090
02:29:51,240 --> 02:29:54,200
Speaker 5: I think defensively, not all I'm talking to you. They're

3091
02:29:54,240 --> 02:29:57,039
Speaker 5: known as an offensive team. I think defensively, going forward,

3092
02:29:57,480 --> 02:29:59,000
Speaker 5: this is going to be one of the better teams

3093
02:29:59,000 --> 02:30:03,760
Speaker 5: in the NFL. We're finally getting healthy, and I actually

3094
02:30:03,800 --> 02:30:07,120
Speaker 5: think Miami is a team that I think could be

3095
02:30:07,160 --> 02:30:10,080
Speaker 5: a real team. The wrecking with going forward, especially Look,

3096
02:30:10,080 --> 02:30:14,080
Speaker 5: you have Baltimore losing key players like Mark Andrews obviously,

3097
02:30:14,200 --> 02:30:18,879
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson going down, obviously, Joe Burrow going down. I

3098
02:30:18,879 --> 02:30:20,520
Speaker 5: think Miami team I was like, going forward the only

3099
02:30:20,560 --> 02:30:21,760
Speaker 5: way I could look at this game. I did not

3100
02:30:21,840 --> 02:30:24,760
Speaker 5: lay the thirteen and a half, but I leaned that

3101
02:30:24,800 --> 02:30:26,200
Speaker 5: way in the since. I think it's going to be

3102
02:30:26,200 --> 02:30:26,960
Speaker 5: a blowout game.

3103
02:30:28,280 --> 02:30:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I think they they roll. I got

3104
02:30:32,280 --> 02:30:35,039
Speaker 2: to ask you about Monday night. I mean, this is

3105
02:30:35,040 --> 02:30:38,640
Speaker 2: the super Bowl. I mean, you know it's Eagles, It's

3106
02:30:38,760 --> 02:30:41,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs in Kansas City.

3107
02:30:41,360 --> 02:30:41,879
Speaker 3: I was talking.

3108
02:30:41,920 --> 02:30:44,800
Speaker 2: I had Big Red on the other day and we

3109
02:30:44,800 --> 02:30:47,720
Speaker 2: were talking about this. Everybody's talking about it. Where at

3110
02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:49,039
Speaker 2: you Anti Gabott.

3111
02:30:49,360 --> 02:30:52,520
Speaker 5: I look, I bet the Chiefs doesn't hurt your feelings. Anthony.

3112
02:30:52,560 --> 02:30:52,959
Speaker 3: Look, I.

3113
02:30:54,640 --> 02:30:58,720
Speaker 5: Always just my bank er over Philadelphia, unfortunately, but I

3114
02:30:58,760 --> 02:31:00,520
Speaker 5: you know, I am a Philly guy, and I you know,

3115
02:31:00,560 --> 02:31:03,720
Speaker 5: I look through the Eagles pregame shows and all respect

3116
02:31:03,760 --> 02:31:06,080
Speaker 5: for what Siriani and company have done this year. Again,

3117
02:31:06,120 --> 02:31:08,840
Speaker 5: I give them a lot of credit, and I get

3118
02:31:08,879 --> 02:31:11,240
Speaker 5: hurt an insane amount of credit, looking not like the

3119
02:31:11,240 --> 02:31:13,840
Speaker 5: player he was last year, but finding ways to get

3120
02:31:13,840 --> 02:31:16,080
Speaker 5: it done right. And he's talking about the players who

3121
02:31:16,080 --> 02:31:18,840
Speaker 5: make excuses. This guy who doesn't make any excuses and

3122
02:31:18,959 --> 02:31:22,080
Speaker 5: just gets it done. I still like, you know, it's funny, Anthony.

3123
02:31:22,160 --> 02:31:25,760
Speaker 5: Kansas City is a team that I've I still fight

3124
02:31:25,959 --> 02:31:27,760
Speaker 5: going forward in terms of winning the super Bowl. But

3125
02:31:27,800 --> 02:31:29,680
Speaker 5: they did it again last year. But because I don't

3126
02:31:29,720 --> 02:31:33,400
Speaker 5: love their offense. But I just think that this Eagles

3127
02:31:33,480 --> 02:31:37,200
Speaker 5: defense is not nearly the same defense that we saw

3128
02:31:37,240 --> 02:31:40,199
Speaker 5: in the super Bowl. You know last year's the league defense.

3129
02:31:40,560 --> 02:31:42,720
Speaker 5: And what what does Kansas City do? And what does

3130
02:31:42,760 --> 02:31:45,000
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes do, Anthony, in games where he's favored by

3131
02:31:45,040 --> 02:31:47,640
Speaker 5: less than field, Well, he covers them. That's that's what

3132
02:31:47,680 --> 02:31:50,119
Speaker 5: he does. And again last year you may just say,

3133
02:31:50,680 --> 02:31:51,800
Speaker 5: you want to say, is that Lucket?

3134
02:31:51,840 --> 02:31:52,680
Speaker 3: How do they keep doing it?

3135
02:31:52,800 --> 02:31:55,440
Speaker 5: But the Chiefs win these close games, and this is

3136
02:31:55,480 --> 02:31:59,480
Speaker 5: what Mahomes does. Look, I made this line as a

3137
02:31:59,480 --> 02:32:03,000
Speaker 5: stone call three. So again, now there's some threes and

3138
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:05,040
Speaker 5: there's some two and a half, so when it was

3139
02:32:05,080 --> 02:32:07,360
Speaker 5: two and a half. I think the Chiefs absolutely merit

3140
02:32:07,360 --> 02:32:11,039
Speaker 5: to play. And I think again just from a matchup

3141
02:32:11,080 --> 02:32:13,560
Speaker 5: point of view, even though their Chiefs offense has not

3142
02:32:13,640 --> 02:32:15,840
Speaker 5: been what it's been in the past, I think that

3143
02:32:16,040 --> 02:32:18,200
Speaker 5: the good or it will be the Eagles defense. Ironically,

3144
02:32:18,240 --> 02:32:20,840
Speaker 5: and the Eagles defense has not been elite, and I

3145
02:32:20,879 --> 02:32:23,840
Speaker 5: think that they'll do enough to win a close game.

3146
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:26,640
Speaker 5: And I also these fun time game Fremlin listening has

3147
02:32:26,640 --> 02:32:29,720
Speaker 5: gone under. All these games are going under the Ravens

3148
02:32:29,720 --> 02:32:31,760
Speaker 5: game didn't. A lot of these games this year have

3149
02:32:31,840 --> 02:32:34,680
Speaker 5: really been going under his FYI. I'm not sure the

3150
02:32:34,720 --> 02:32:37,600
Speaker 5: reasons for that, but it's fine. This number open at

3151
02:32:37,640 --> 02:32:39,440
Speaker 5: forty seven after the total has been put down a

3152
02:32:39,440 --> 02:32:39,960
Speaker 5: few points.

3153
02:32:40,320 --> 02:32:43,840
Speaker 2: The other thing, too, Spag says that defense Chiefs defense

3154
02:32:43,840 --> 02:32:44,800
Speaker 2: playing really.

3155
02:32:44,560 --> 02:32:45,200
Speaker 1: Really good.

3156
02:32:46,200 --> 02:32:49,760
Speaker 2: And you know that's the other thing that you know

3157
02:32:49,959 --> 02:32:52,480
Speaker 2: they match up on the outside a little bit because

3158
02:32:52,520 --> 02:32:54,680
Speaker 2: you know A J. Brown is such a beast.

3159
02:32:55,240 --> 02:33:00,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, no, I will tell you on prop I

3160
02:33:00,640 --> 02:33:03,280
Speaker 5: bet in the game. Uh and again this this is

3161
02:33:03,320 --> 02:33:06,360
Speaker 5: I've done. I had an insanely good propier. But one

3162
02:33:06,400 --> 02:33:08,360
Speaker 5: guy who's kind of been like the Charlie Brown with

3163
02:33:08,400 --> 02:33:11,400
Speaker 5: the football and me missing it has been DeVonta Smith.

3164
02:33:11,680 --> 02:33:15,400
Speaker 5: And I'm gonna fall for it again because last year

3165
02:33:15,680 --> 02:33:20,080
Speaker 5: without Dallas Goddard, Devanta Smith's stats for otherworldly. Uh No,

3166
02:33:20,280 --> 02:33:22,000
Speaker 5: Dallas Goddard, which, by the way, I think is another

3167
02:33:22,560 --> 02:33:24,640
Speaker 5: key thing for the Eagles here yet.

3168
02:33:25,680 --> 02:33:27,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, you know, we talked a lot about

3169
02:33:27,360 --> 02:33:28,760
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews, but Dallas got.

3170
02:33:31,400 --> 02:33:35,080
Speaker 5: Dallas Goddard. You can argue, I'm not going to top

3171
02:33:35,120 --> 02:33:37,039
Speaker 5: three tight end. I think that's a big loss. And

3172
02:33:37,120 --> 02:33:39,360
Speaker 5: again I think this line didn't really reflect that at all.

3173
02:33:39,360 --> 02:33:45,039
Speaker 5: Almost got shoved under the and But anyway, Smith's three

3174
02:33:45,040 --> 02:33:47,360
Speaker 5: are forty four and a half. Yeah, I think I

3175
02:33:47,360 --> 02:33:48,960
Speaker 5: would have just had that, you know, closer to the

3176
02:33:48,959 --> 02:33:50,240
Speaker 5: little sixties without Goddard.

3177
02:33:50,800 --> 02:33:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can totally say, big brain, you're crushing it, man.

3178
02:33:54,520 --> 02:33:55,760
Speaker 2: Keep slay that, buddy.

3211
02:35:59,480 --> 02:36:01,080
Speaker 1: of the Grinches, and it is a delight.

3212
02:36:01,720 --> 02:36:03,360
Speaker 3: Oh nice, that's a good review.

3213
02:36:04,360 --> 02:36:07,800
Speaker 2: Uh, Patrick did a great job filling it for Shay.

3214
02:36:08,840 --> 02:36:11,360
Speaker 2: What do you say, Patrick, what are we watching this weekend?

3215

Speaker 8: You know what, cuz you know what fits see? Well,

3216
02:36:13,720 --> 02:36:17,360
Speaker 8: we're watching day in the sweeka household watching the Seattle

3217
02:36:17,400 --> 02:36:20,680
Speaker 8: Seahawks take on the Rams. That's a that's yours truly's team,

3218
02:36:20,760 --> 02:36:22,760
Speaker 8: the Seahawks. And then, uh, you know, I'm gonna do

3219
02:36:22,840 --> 02:36:25,560

3221
02:36:28,600 --> 02:36:31,080
Speaker 8: night in the in the household. And you know what

3222
02:36:31,160 --> 02:36:33,920
Speaker 8: I think, I'm gonna take a take a rule out

3223
02:36:33,920 --> 02:36:36,199
Speaker 8: of Mighty Mocks book and I'm gonna watch some holiday

3225
02:36:38,840 --> 02:36:42,800
Speaker 2: Nice like that, you too, go to the holiday spirit? Patrick,

3226
02:36:42,920 --> 02:36:47,480
Speaker 2: I love it. Figgots. What are we watching, Figgie?

3227
02:36:48,040 --> 02:36:50,640
Speaker 4: You know it's all college football this afternoon, gotta watch

3228
02:36:50,640 --> 02:36:53,000
Speaker 4: that Washington Oregon State game. And then of course it

3229
02:36:53,080 --> 02:36:55,240
Speaker 4: might be Chip Kelly, your favorite coach of swan song

3230
02:36:55,280 --> 02:36:57,080
Speaker 4: at UCLA as they place usc.

3231
02:36:57,360 --> 02:36:59,400
Speaker 3: Shock meaningless game between the two of them.

3232
02:37:00,160 --> 02:37:02,160
Speaker 4: But I know as Pat's given me the throat slash

3233
02:37:02,160 --> 02:37:03,600
Speaker 4: wearing as UCLA had at the moment.

3234
02:37:04,280 --> 02:37:06,039
Speaker 3: But I'm definitely keeping a close eye on that one

3235
02:37:06,440 --> 02:37:07,080
Speaker 3: so real.

3236
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:10,480
Speaker 2: Quick, because you brought him up. What in the world

3237
02:37:11,920 --> 02:37:15,520
Speaker 2: did it just work for that one moment in time

3238
02:37:15,600 --> 02:37:16,240
Speaker 2: into ore again?

3239
02:37:17,720 --> 02:37:20,320
Speaker 4: No, well no it didn't. He was successful early on

3240
02:37:20,360 --> 02:37:22,720
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia. It just went crumbling down on him because

3241
02:37:22,720 --> 02:37:24,880
Speaker 4: he got drunk with power and destroyed the roster. And

3242
02:37:25,200 --> 02:37:27,480
Speaker 4: you know, I don't he wasn't a failure as a

3243
02:37:27,480 --> 02:37:29,160
Speaker 4: head coach. I think he was a failure as being

3244
02:37:29,240 --> 02:37:31,119
Speaker 4: the head of the snake as you know, in charge

3245
02:37:31,120 --> 02:37:33,480
Speaker 4: of personnel. It's kind of what got him in Philly

3246
02:37:33,520 --> 02:37:35,680
Speaker 4: into a lesser extend in San Francisco. So he's not

3247
02:37:35,720 --> 02:37:38,600
Speaker 4: like he's a bad coach. Things just didn't work out

3248
02:37:38,600 --> 02:37:40,760
Speaker 4: at UCLA. I don't think he really has the resources

3249
02:37:40,920 --> 02:37:43,600
Speaker 4: necessarily out there as well, so that didn't help. And

3250
02:37:43,840 --> 02:37:45,360
Speaker 4: they had look, they had a great year last year

3251
02:37:45,400 --> 02:37:47,240
Speaker 4: won what eight nine games? And this year they had

3252
02:37:47,240 --> 02:37:49,199
Speaker 4: a great defense. But he's supposed to be an offensive

3253
02:37:49,200 --> 02:37:51,480
Speaker 4: guru and just was not able to turn it around,

3254
02:37:51,480 --> 02:37:53,960
Speaker 4: couldn't get the quarterback situation to figure it out this year.

3255
02:37:54,680 --> 02:37:56,879
Speaker 3: Dawn, He'll get a job somewhere else. Yeah, I know,

3256
02:37:57,320 --> 02:37:59,879
Speaker 3: he'll get a job somewhere else. He'll be fine.

3257
02:38:00,160 --> 02:38:03,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's Yeah, but he's getting he's from UCLA.

3258
02:38:03,280 --> 02:38:09,039
Speaker 2: Where are you going next with down spot, FITZI, what's next? Uh?

3259
02:38:09,120 --> 02:38:09,600
Speaker 3: For him?

3260
02:38:09,640 --> 02:38:12,840
Speaker 2: Does he go now to like a big twelve the

3261
02:38:13,000 --> 02:38:14,320
Speaker 2: lower big twelve? Squat?

3262
02:38:14,840 --> 02:38:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? I feel like he's he's at this point. Yes,

3263
02:38:17,120 --> 02:38:20,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna become one of those transitional coaches, you know

3264
02:38:20,240 --> 02:38:22,920
Speaker 1: that comes into a place that hasn't had success for

3265
02:38:22,959 --> 02:38:25,200
Speaker 1: a minute, you know. But also I just kind of

3266
02:38:25,200 --> 02:38:27,039
Speaker 1: love this idea where Texas a and then pays him.

3267
02:38:27,040 --> 02:38:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, just just trolling at that point.

3268
02:38:30,600 --> 02:38:33,240
Speaker 2: Well maybe like listen, he's on the June Jones path,

3269
02:38:33,320 --> 02:38:35,200
Speaker 2: Like pretty soon he'll be wind up in Hawaii.

3270
02:38:35,959 --> 02:38:36,240
Speaker 8: God.

3271
02:38:36,480 --> 02:38:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah that's yeah, good for him, Good for him. I'm

3272
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:41,959
Speaker 1: making all that money and not really having the.

3273
02:38:41,920 --> 02:38:45,119
Speaker 2: Results to back it up, all right, I can't stand

3274
02:38:45,160 --> 02:38:50,400
Speaker 2: a guy, So forgive me, uh give me what you're watching, Fitz.

3275
02:38:51,320 --> 02:38:53,720
Speaker 1: Well, obviously I always watch the Raiders. But here's the thing.

3276
02:38:53,760 --> 02:38:56,280
Speaker 1: We've missed an important game today, boys, a game with

3277
02:38:56,480 --> 02:39:01,440
Speaker 1: much at stake. UNLV football taken on airs, first, first

3278
02:39:01,440 --> 02:39:03,879
Speaker 1: place in the Mountain West. Huge one is at stake.

3279
02:39:03,959 --> 02:39:06,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, UNLV is eight and two, and

3280
02:39:06,240 --> 02:39:09,279
Speaker 1: one of those losses is to Michigan. So I'm just saying,

3281
02:39:09,520 --> 02:39:11,800
Speaker 1: for a program that hasn't been good for twenty years,

3282
02:39:11,840 --> 02:39:14,440
Speaker 1: Barry Otam has come in in one year, turned them

3283
02:39:14,480 --> 02:39:16,920
Speaker 1: around and made them relevant. With all the F one stuff.

3284
02:39:16,920 --> 02:39:19,720
Speaker 1: This weekend, like Vegas is sort of an epicenter, UNLV

3285
02:39:19,800 --> 02:39:22,800
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to do something. Some in Vegas are

3286
02:39:22,840 --> 02:39:26,560
Speaker 1: calling it the most significant game in UNLV football history.

3287
02:39:26,879 --> 02:39:29,199
Speaker 3: Let's go Wow, it's pretty good.

3288
02:39:29,520 --> 02:39:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

3289
02:39:29,920 --> 02:39:32,160
Speaker 4: Air Force lost some luster after losing the last couple

3290
02:39:32,200 --> 02:39:34,640
Speaker 4: of games. They're unbeaten, eron in the top twenty a

3291
02:39:34,640 --> 02:39:35,360
Speaker 4: couple weeks ago.

3292
02:39:36,120 --> 02:39:37,840
Speaker 1: UNLV gets this win, I think they'll be in the

3293
02:39:37,840 --> 02:39:38,959
Speaker 1: top twenty. How do you like that?

3294
02:39:39,040 --> 02:39:40,040
Speaker 3: I like it. I'll take it.

3295
02:39:40,160 --> 02:39:45,320
Speaker 2: Wow wow. And by the way, your boys, I had

3296
02:39:45,320 --> 02:39:46,879
Speaker 2: the condor on this week too.

3297
02:39:47,160 --> 02:39:47,959
Speaker 3: He was fantastic.

3298
02:39:48,040 --> 02:39:49,560
Speaker 1: Oh should have said high for me.

3299
02:39:49,840 --> 02:39:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did, I did. I told about you guys.

3300
02:39:52,440 --> 02:39:54,720
Speaker 2: All right, listen, everybody, have a great weekend. We love
