6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles. Son just starting to come up

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: East coast. It's ten am. You guys are getting ready

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: for college football. And this Nick Saban stuff is kind

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: of funny. I gotta be honest. The false positives, those

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: are the worst, aren't they. One of my neighbors I

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: think I talked about it a few months ago had

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: a false positive. Everybody panicked early. This was early in

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: the pandemic when it was like don't touch me, stay away,

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: and um, false positives are not fun, not at all.

15
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: So we don't know that. The status of Nick Saban

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: and being at Alabama Georgia later today, my guess is

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: he'll be on the sideline. Um, listen, and this is

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: the college football weekend where it's like exactly what we've

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: been talking about for the last I don't know month.

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: It's tough to get into college football, when as the

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: week goes on, you don't know who the hell's playing.

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: You don't know who the hecks coaching. I saw and

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: I probably did. I should have clicked the link before

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: I go with this, Gavin, But I saw that Les Miles,

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: the coach of Kansas UH didn't make the trip this week.

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: So your head coach is just not gonna be there

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: coaching on the sideline, Like college football is so crazy.

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: I believe that LSU Florida is postponed because the Florida

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: Gators had like twenty positive tests. You can't have twenty

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: false positives on our team, obviously, and um, it's just

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a mess with college football. And the Big Ten is

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: slated to come back next week. Very excited about that.

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: You need more than like three games to get excited

34
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: about college ball. Um. But besides that, folks, listen, we

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: had some exciting Major League baseball last night, and Gavin

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: and I were stabbings a text on some topics, and listen,

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: we were thinking of opening I can on the Dodgers

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: if they had choked again last night. I mean, what

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: a brutal postseason this has been from Major League baseball.

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: You're looking at maybe the Rays and the Braves in

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: the World Series not that exciting. I mean, if I

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: went to the street right now and said, hey, man,

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: can you name two players on the Atlanta Braves Gavin

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: what what percent do you think? I would say, like, honestly,

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: less than five. I think the Braves can become a

46
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Cinderella story, just like the Race can. But the thing is,

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: we really need the astros in the world yes, because

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: that that gets the mom's like people that are so casual,

49
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: but if you tell them about the cheating scams, those

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: cheating scumbacks. But yeah, no, the Astros is kind of interesting. Um.

51
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean selfishly, I would like the Dodgers to get

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: in there, obviously, because it's l a more chances to

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: talk baseball, and um, you know, I'm kind of rooting

54
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: for Clayton Kershaw. I don't know how you're not at

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: this time, but obviously, listen, we were we were not

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: going to start the show with the NBA. The season's

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: over Lebron won the title. I mean, I guess we'll

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: do some NBA later. We're doing NBA later. Brian win

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: horses stopping by. I can't wait. Um, I have a

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: feeling we may touch on this um Lebron versus Michael

61
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: Jordan's thing. I don't know. I can hear the eye

62
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: rolls from people listening. Oh do we have to do that? Well,

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: it's fun. I mean there's some new angles, some new

64
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: layers that I've found. Uh. If you guys follow me

65
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: on social media, you know I'm kind of poking the bear. Uh.

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: I said all along all season, I said, if Lebron

67
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: wins the title with the Lakers, he goes to his

68
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: third franchise, wins another chip, he's the goat. Let's say,

69
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: we've never seen that before, and it happened, and we'll

70
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: get to it later. But I have to start with

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: the NFL because you know, I think this is year

72
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: five of the show, because year four we moved to

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Los Angeles as a family from from Pennsylvania, and gambling

74
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: has been a big, big fact on this show. We

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: love talking gambling, not just NFL, we do NBA college

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: football and this weekend is one of those weekends for

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: the sharp or the perceived sharp gamblers. Now, I don't

78
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: know about you guys, but I'm looking at the lines

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: every day, spending time looking at this. I like, when

80
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: you want to be successful, at something. You dive in

81
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: full board every single day. I'm looking at different angles

82
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: for the games. And I'm telling you, folks, every week

83
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: on Monday, you feel great about a handful of games.

84
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: You look at the slate. You don't have too much information.

85
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: You don't have five or six days of nuggets and

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: kernels and COVID reports and injury reports too, you know,

87
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: tweet cure logic, and you maybe come off positions and

88
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: go into positions you don't want to be in. And

89
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: this is the week where guys, you don't want to

90
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: overreact to which you saw last week, right. I mean,

91
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: it's just like in life. If you are a single

92
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: guy going out, you go out one night and you

93
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: just strike out over three. You know, maybe you go

94
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: over four, try to get numbers the golden sombrero, and

95
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: that's not you. You're not the guy who went out

96
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: went over four. You've got to look at your body

97
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: of work for months, for years as a single guy.

98
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: You've had some good runs. There's gonna be some cold droughts.

99
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: And last week in the NFL is the perfect example

100
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: of why you don't want to overreact. I have to

101
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: start with San Francisco forty Niners got dismembered by the

102
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: dolphinstev one of if you're looking for me for the

103
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: biggest three beat downs of the season, that was it

104
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: absolute stunner and everybody's selling San Francisco and the line

105
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: has moved significantly for forty Niners. Uh Rams. This week

106
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: it's Sunday Night Football. Fun fact Sunday Night Football Underdog

107
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: has covered three straight weeks. Doesn't really mean anything, just

108
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: a fact, just tossing it out there. You guys, don't

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: have the casinos work right the sports book. Everybody plays

110
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: the early games. Sometimes they chase on the four PM games,

111
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: and they usually chase in the late game, and the

112
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: late game if favorites have done well, ties into parlays

113
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: and teasers. Okay, the house knows nobody's back in the

114
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: forts after that, so they have to come in high.

115
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: You've got to pay a premium to bet the Rams here.

116
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: And the Rams are in their fourth road game in

117
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: five weeks, which is crazy to say out loud. The

118
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: Rams have four wins and they've beaten the NFC East,

119
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the worst division of football. They beat all those teams

120
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, everybody loves the Rams here Meanwhile,

121
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: nine months ago the Niners only won the Super Bowl.

122
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: They were eight minutes away for winning the Super Bowl.

123
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: I know a lot of change, and they've had injuries,

124
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: but if you do sell the Niners here, you're doing

125
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: the opposite of business. One oh one right, buy low,

126
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: sell high. You're buying the forty Niners right now this

127
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: weekend at their absolute low. They lose to Ryan Fitzpatrick

128
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: by a million. So that's just one game, the forty Niners.

129
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: You don't want to overreact. You don't want to overreact

130
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. What happened Tuesday night and Gavitt, I'm close

131
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: to falling into this trap, like I really want to

132
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: take the Chiefs here. But the Bills, if they thought

133
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: this game was gonna be canceled, right, it was scheduled

134
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: to be played on Tuesday, and they're and they're like, well,

135
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: if there's no test, that keeps getting pushed pushed to Tuesday.

136
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: They come out look like a team that wasn't ready

137
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: for Tennessee. Tennessee hangs forty two on them, six for

138
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: six in the red zone, and oh look at that.

139
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Now Tennessee is a big underdog at home. I'm sorry,

140
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo is a big underdog at home against the Chiefs,

141
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: and be careful betting against Buffalo here. They looked rotten

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night. Are they the team that opened up

143
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: looking great four noh? Or are they the rotten team

144
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: that got smoked by the Titans. We're gonna have to

145
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: find out. And just saying, be careful fading Buffalo here.

146
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: You look at Tampa. Oh, Tampa lost to the Bears.

147
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: Come on, get out of here with Tampa. Okay, did

148
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: you happen to look at the injury report or did

149
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: you just look at the score? Did you know they

150
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: were up thirteen nothing in that game? They unlucky turnover,

151
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: it goes the other way. Bears end up coming back

152
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: and winning. And now everybody wants to take Green Bay

153
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: on the road in Tampa. And I'm saying, be careful,

154
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: look at the Tampa injury report. Look who's back for

155
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: net Shady both of them practicing the big ones. Chris Godwin,

156
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: now I know Davante Adams comes back for the Packers.

157
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Just saying, be careful, saying that Tampa's gonna get smoked here.

158
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: They're not as bad as that lost to Chicago. And

159
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: and the one that really hurt me last week, but

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: only miss in the Circle one point four million dollar contest.

161
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: My only whiff was Washington. I had a good little

162
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: four in one Washington just the wrong side, you know.

163
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: I had a bad read by me. I thought they

164
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: would be way more competitive. It didn't help that they

165
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: lost their quarterback early second quarter. I mean, they had

166
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: like what a hundred and ten yards of total offense

167
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: against the Rams, Like maybe the Rams are being inflated

168
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: because they crushed the Redskins. And nobody sorry Washington, and

169
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: nobody's valuing Washington here. I'm not touching that Giant's Washington game.

170
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: We haven't any read on that divisional game. Yeah, it's uh,

171
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: it's very hard to do that. And then you have

172
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: all the stuff with with Dwayne Haskins and yeah, what's

173
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: the latest with that. He's he's sent home with an illness.

174
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: It's not COVID, but he's as a bit at the

175
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: facility in days exactly. Yeah, and you know, now there's

176
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: rumors swirling about their future at quarterback. And you know,

177
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen hurt and um so it's a it's a

178
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: very tough yeah, And and the Giants are oh and

179
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: five in their favorite, not a lot. I can't imagine.

180
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of history of Owen five teams being favorite,

181
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: a lot of weird favorite teams. I mean, the Dolphins

182
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: massive favorite. And that's one Gavin, We're gonna have to die.

183
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: Let's do that now, right, So you guys know, I'm

184
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: a Jets fan forever, and I think they've quit on Gaze.

185
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: If you watch that Arizona game and I had Arizona

186
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: last week, Kevin, they had one tackle for loss, one

187
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: quarterback hit. That's it. Sixty minutes a hy Kyler Murray

188
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: once and one sack. That to me is a sign

189
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: that we don't want to play for this guy. Then

190
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: Levi on Bell comes out bitching on social media and

191
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: they release him. So darn Old ain't playing. McKay Beckton doubtful,

192
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play. You've got a defense. It looks

193
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: like it's quit your franchise quarterback and your best offensive player.

194
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: And Beckton they both want to quit. They're not playing,

195
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: they're injured, they don't want to go back out there hurt.

196
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: It's almost like they don't want to play for Gaze.

197
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: And now I don't know how many guys are left

198
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: on that roster in um Miami from the Gays days.

199
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: But you know they want to beat him down. Oh

200
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: you have Adam gay Okay, let's hear some Adam Gaye

201
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: sound on. I guess the train wreck that is, uh

202
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. We're sarting speaking to Avery yesterday

203
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: and we said, like, when the player like that gets

204
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: cut in the middle of the season, what what kind

205
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: of message does it center the team? And he said

206
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: his exact words, where nobody is safe. What are your

207
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? I mean, if that's what he thinks,

208
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I mean, he's just being honest

209
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, that's hard hard for me to

210
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: to explain. I think every day's competition. Everybody's fighting for

211
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: their jobs every day, whether you're a player and coach. Yeah,

212
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: think about the assistant coaches on that staff, Kevin, how

213
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: many of them are calling around the League's in Yo,

214
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: what are you looking at in the offseason, can you? Uh?

215
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: Obviously the Gays team is getting out everybody on the

216
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: coaching staff. It's gonna be a blood letting. And I

217
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: think that's why Sam Donald, even though it hasn't worked

218
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: out there. I think many people look at him and

219
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: go I I would take a chance on him. He's

220
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: not Josh Rosen. I think you have to look at

221
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: how much dysfunction has happened in that organization. Think about

222
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: a team like the Steelers looking forward, going, hey, Ben's

223
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: not gonna be here forever. We need our next quarterback.

224
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: I would take a chance at Sam Rudolph and um,

225
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: I forget who the other guy is. They're both terrible. Um,

226
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: but I just when you look at the Dolphins number

227
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: the strategy they had last week, Kevin, they have Byron

228
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Jones healthy, the guy they stole from Dallas of free agency,

229
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: and they have Xavian Howard. When they were able to

230
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: lock up the forty Niners guys outside, they had no offense, nothing,

231
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: and Mimi just blitz the hell out of Garoppolo. The sacks,

232
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they stumped, stunned the running game. If they

233
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: do that to the Jets, who have weaker receivers than

234
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: the Niners, what is immobile Joe Flacco is supposed to do?

235
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: And now you have what La Michael p Ryan, I mean,

236
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, La Michael p Ryan. You take away that

237
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: rocky most start, like a big run last week forty

238
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Niners did nothing, and the Jets are a worse team

239
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: than the Niners. I don't see how this is in

240
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: a blood bath. But again, should the Dolphins ever be

241
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: favorite over anyone? Gavin by nine and a half. You know,

242
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: the only time I like to bet favorites that big

243
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: is when the quarterback can be trusted that much, because

244
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: a big reason for that number is that you're you're

245
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: factoring in the quarterback, taking advantage of the rules that

246
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: are set in place for them that you know, it's

247
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,479
Speaker 1: easier on the quarterback right, more offensive league. But Ryan Fitzpatrick,

248
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: just when you start to trust him, he will fail you.

249
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: And you know, all it takes is a strip sack return,

250
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: a dumb interception for and now you know you gotta

251
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: cover basically seventeen at nine and a half, and you

252
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: give it up an early touchdown and the last game

253
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: I quickly want to touch on. And this is part

254
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: of the reason I don't know if I'm gonna pull

255
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: the trigger on Tampa UM. I really like the Detroit

256
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: Lions this week. I know that's Chris's team, and Chris

257
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: has you know, been through some tough times with the Lions. UM.

258
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: The status I unearthed. I found this yet well, I

259
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: made this guy look it up and he put out

260
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: there road favorites off of a bye. That's what Detroit is.

261
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: You rested coming in to a beat up Jacksonville team.

262
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: By the way, DJ Shark may not play. The last

263
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: time he didn't play, they played Miami. Go look at

264
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: how bad their offense was without their best receiver, unwatchable

265
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: road favorites off of by sixty six, thirty five and

266
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: two against the spread, Gavin, And that is the Packers

267
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: and that is the Lions. So be I gotta be

268
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: careful with that Tampa game. I really like Tampa there,

269
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: but I don't know that road. And I'm not a

270
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: huge trend guy. But there's something to rest. And you know, Kevin,

271
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: I misread that Tennessee Buffalo. When you look at Tennessee

272
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: having two practices in sixteen days, you're like, oh, they're

273
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: not gonna be ready. But what the opposite was true?

274
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: They had a lot of rest. Rest matters so much.

275
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I think we all got fooled on that. I can

276
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: say for definitively I did. I was thinking about how

277
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: little practice a J. Brown, But you know what happened

278
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: to a J Brown, He got healthy, he got it.

279
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean it is crazy, guys, and listen, this is

280
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: it's not and you can look back and say, oh,

281
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: come on, obviously, how did you guys miss that? Well?

282
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Where were you a week ago? Were you sending us tweets?

283
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: Were you in my d ms on Instagram saying Jay, Hey,

284
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: don't don't discount this. Um so you know NFL is

285
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: a tough nut to crack. That's all I'll say. And

286
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: if um quick note, guys, I don't know if you

287
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: just heard, but I took a sip of coffee and

288
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm very disappointed in myself. I was going with not

289
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: sober October, but coffeeless October, and unfortunately this is the

290
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: third one I've had in seventeen days. I'm disappointed in myself,

291
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: but a day't easy. If I can make excuses, they've

292
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: all three come in the last week. Last week after

293
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: the show, I had to drive down to San Diego.

294
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't on a lot of sleep, three hour ride, three hours,

295
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: twenty minutes whatever, and um, I didn't want to like

296
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: fall asleep at the wheel, So I had a Starbucks.

297
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: Thursday night, I played poke or with some guys. No

298
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night football. Um, play some poker. We're up late. Um,

299
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: I wake up Friday, I gotta go on Herd Show.

300
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: I gotta hand in my Friday column for Fox Sports.

301
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: I gotta do pis video for Fox Sports that I

302
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: was feeling a little groggy. I'm like, you know what,

303
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I just want to add the coffee so I'm not

304
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: a total train wreck. And then last night we had

305
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: some friends over a lot of political talk. Maybe I

306
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: will wedge some of that in, um, but you know,

307
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: we're three weeks away from the election. Like it's tough

308
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: not to um hanging out with some friends distance obviously,

309
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: and um, you know, masks and outdoors and up late

310
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: and to bed late and up early, and I want

311
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: to be good for the show. So I got a coffee.

312
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in myself, but coming up next, I'm gonna

313
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: totally redeem myself talking about Lebron and the Lakers and um,

314
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a short NBA off season. I don't

315
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: know where this Chris Paul stumming coming from. Stuff Gavin

316
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: is Chris Paul to the Lakers? I know, okay, see

317
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: we'll be looking to unload him. I don't see that happening.

318
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: Lakers don't have any assets to give up, UM, but

319
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. There's Darryl Morey, Tyron Lieu, UH,

00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: you guys have heard the phrase doom scrolling, have you not.

336
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean I started to get into that this week. Sadly,

337
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: at least I noticed I was doing it when every

338
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: morning I would wake up here in l a Um,

339
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: you know, within like ten minutes, I have to figure

340
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: out what's going on in the sports world, and I

341
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: go to social media and it's just scrolling, and it's

342
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: one negative thing after another. COVID test here and this

343
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: shutdown facility and this player has got to sit. It's

344
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: just and then it's the politics, and it's just so

345
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: doom scrolling is kind of a funny word, but it is.

346
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: It's reality. And I don't know how we're going to

347
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: get off this social media track. We're on it, and

348
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: unfortunately it feels like you're in it and you can't

349
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: get out. It's like you're on that hamster wheel, just

350
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: spinning and spinning. Now, there was some negative NBA news

351
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: that kept coming out every day this week. I don't

352
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: know where we should start this, Gavin, What is the

353
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: origin of this Chris Paul to the Lakers stuff? Anybody

354
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: credible report that? Because I gotta say to say, I

355
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: thought Eric Pinkus was reporting it. Lakers guy, we've had

356
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: on plenty of times. Yeah, I mean, does it make

357
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: sense for the Lakers to go after Chris Paul? Sure,

358
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: he plays defense, which Frank Vogel likes, and he's a

359
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: good leader. Um, but that's there's I would say zero

360
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: point zero percent chance of that happening. No. Well, I

361
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 1: think the thought is the West is going to be

362
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: much better next year. The West will be better. It

363
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: will be a lot better. It will be a lot,

364
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: a lot better. And uh, the Lakers cannot, you know,

365
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: stay where they are right now? We wait, what do

366
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: you mean by a lot better? Warriors will be better,

367
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: Warriors will be better, Rockets will be worse. Okay, but

368
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: you have the Mavericks. We are going to be there's

369
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: no doubt. Um, the Clippers are definitely gonna be better.

370
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of you. Are you a Tyler guy?

371
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: I think, how is that an upgrade? He was on

372
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: the bench with DC Rivers. He was, He's definitely an upgrade.

373
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: Tyler want a title with Lebron. He knows plenty about Lebron. Uh,

374
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: you know that's their main adversary. I also think you're

375
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: underestimating that Paul George was the top five in the

376
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: m v P race just two years ago, right right,

377
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: I just don't know how that the old Garden, that crew,

378
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Lou Williams, Montres Harold will be cool again with the

379
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: load management for Kauai and Paul George thinking he's a

380
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: leader and he's not. I think that's chemistry. It's just

381
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: who the leader who had a big momentum chemistry. Like

382
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: I think in the end, guys want to win a title,

383
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: and I think you move on from Montrez Harrold. I

384
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: think I saw something that Lou will might have unfollowed

385
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: him like that. There's I thought I had seen that.

386
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: It's hard to trust all the Twitter stuff. No, come on,

387
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: remember we did like thirty minutes on the show when

388
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: Jana's unfollowed them, Right yeah, But let me just ask though, um, like,

389
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: what it's different this year for the Clippers. Then last

390
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: year they were down three one to the Nuggets. Nobody

391
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: stood up and said, what the hell, guys, we gotta

392
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: come through. Nobody who's doing that this year? Well, I

393
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing for the Clippers we were hearing

394
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: about was that time they hadn't had to play together.

395
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: They still even into the bubble, they just they felt

396
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: like their starting squad hadn't played that much together, and

397
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: I think next year, I mean I think, yeah, they

398
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: they totally failed in the postseason, but that doesn't you know,

399
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: the um Plenty of teams have failed and then come back.

400
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Remember Villanova, they choked, came right back the next year

401
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: and won a title. Right, Virginia's Virginia Denver Nuggets. Are

402
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: they going to be better? Yes? Absolutely, they might lose

403
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant. Yeah, I know not Michael Porter Jr. A

404
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: lot of heavy dose of that. Okay, see will be worse.

405
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: Presumably Danillo. I would say Danilo Gallinari is more likely

406
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: to end up on the Lakers. But there's a lot

407
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: of teams. I mean, the Phoenix Suns looked good last didn't.

408
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: Memphis should be better, Portland will be better, Utah will

409
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: be better. They didn't have Bogdanovich in uh in the bubble.

410
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: Secondo Kings may eventually get it together. The Pelicans absolutely goodness.

411
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't know who they're coaching. You know. Again, we're

412
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: just talking about having three to five elite teams for

413
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: the Lakers to have to contend with compared to I

414
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: don't even know what this year was. Once the bubble

415
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: got going. It was just the Rockets weren't a factor.

416
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: The Clippers chokes. You never got to play them, so

417
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: they can't blame anyone but themselves. Uh, the Nuggets were

418
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: a complete mismatch for the Lakers. We'll see if that

419
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: changes next year. All right, coming up next year on

420
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, We're bringing in my guy, Aaron Schatz.

421

422
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: But first there's Isaac Loewen Krown with what's trending in

Speaker 1: he has taken a third test and if that test

427
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: also comes back negative, he will be cleared to rejoin

428
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: the team for tonight's game at Georgia. In the NFL,

429
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: Mary kay Cabin of the Cleveland Plane Dealer reporting the

Speaker 1: Browns receiver Odell Beckham junior second COVID test came back

431
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,240

432
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad players

433
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID. The Jaguars will work remotely today

434
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: as a precaution. Tomorrow's home game against the Detroit Lions

435
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: remains on. The Patriots reopened their practice facility this morning.

436
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: Mike Cliffs of k USA Television out of Denver reporting

437
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: that the Broncos running back Melvin Gordon will not travel

438
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: to New England for tomorrow's game against the Patriots after

439
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: being diagnosed with strep throat and Major League. The thinking is,

440
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: according to him, is because strep throat is highly contagious,

441
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: it would not be a good idea for Gordon. Basically,

442
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: do you think he got Is that like similar to

443
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: Sam Donald getting mono? Because strep throat is serious? I

444
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: mean you get that at the seven years old. That's

445
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: like a kids thing, right, Yeah. Well, and especially when

446
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: you're traveling on a on a flight in an confined

447
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: and closed area with your teammates for a couple of hours,

448
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: So it certainly makes sense. In Game five of the

449
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: National League Championship Series on Friday night, the Atlanta Braves

450

Speaker 1: lead the Los Angeles Dodgers two to one. In the

451
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: top half of the sixth inning, the Dodgers had two

452
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: men on when the Dodgers. Will Smith came to the

453
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: plate the biggest swing at his young career. Joe Buck

454
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: and Will Smith with a call and FS one does

455
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: the Dodgers want on to win its seven to three.

456
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: Corey Seager, also at two home runs, braves to lead

457
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: the series three games to two. In the Houston Astro

Speaker 1: go to Geico dot Com Call one seven otto. The

465
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: only hard part figuring out which way is easier. Our

466
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: next guest, you know him well from this show and

467
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders, and he's on ESPN, and I mean he's

468
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: basically global. I think he did um the Seth Meyers Show.

469
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I mean, I mean he's everywhere.

470
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: How you doing this morning, Eron, I'm doing well, guys,

471
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. That's good to hear. Let me start

472
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: off with this right off the top. Levi on Bell

473
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: goes to the chiefs now before we look at the

474
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: Chief's angle. I'm just curious what you think about the

475
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: Jets unloading a star of that caliber at this juncture.

476
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: After we complain on social media the same week that

477
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: it looked like a defense quit on the team. Uh

478
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: when when they only had one quarterback hit on Kyler Murray,

479
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: one tackle for lost, one sack, they like didn't it

480
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: looked like they were toothless out there uninterested. Any thoughts

481
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: First on the Jets melting all the Jets, I mean

482
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: locker room seems like a meltdown if you look at

483
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 1: who their best players were a few months ago and

484
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: what's happened to them since the c J. Mosley opted out,

485
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams basically demanded a trade, Levian Bell got cut,

486
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson went somewhere else in free agency. Nobody seems

487
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: to want to play for that team, and that's the problem.

488
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this, though, Aaron, there are

489
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: nine point underdogs against the Miami Dolphins, and you know

490
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: you'd be buying the market high on the Dolphins. Here

491
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: can Ryan Fitzpatrick should he ever be favored by nine

492
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: points over anyone? It is a divisional matchup. This could

493
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: be dangerous. We just saw the Raiders kind of come

494
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: out of nowhere's double digit dogs and pull off that

495
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: upset outright, Um, what do you advise people saying, Man,

496
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: the Jets have quit, I'm gonna evade them. I don't know.

497
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: Nine points is a lot, though, right, I know. I

498
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: agree with you. I I've got the Jets is my

499
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: pick in this game slightly. But I agree with you

500
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: that there's some things that you know, stats just can't

501
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: pick up, like teams completely quitting. But I don't know

502
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: if Miami is good enough to be quit in that way.

503
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if their defense is enough

504
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: to be quit on, you know, is good enough that

505
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: you can really quit on them, like they may just

506
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: let you date in some yards and score some points. Anyway, Yeah,

507
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: good luck? All right, So let's get to the Levy

508
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: on bell Angle. I don't know. Does this again it's

509
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: a running back, he hasn't done anything in the last

510
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: two seasons. Does this move the needle at all in

511
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs futures for you and and odds to win

512
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: the title? I don't think it does. I'm probably at

513
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: this point a member of the running backs. Don't matter, crowd,

514
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: They don't matter that much if you look, I mean,

515
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: anyone that we thought mattered. Look at what they're doing

516
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: in Carolina with Mike Davis replacing Christian McCaffrey, and Carolina

517
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: has been actually better. Um. I don't think that he

518
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: brings anything to Kansas City that Clyde Edwards a layer

519
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: doesn't bring, if anything, what he brings his caps in

520
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: case there's an injury. But they'll you, you know, they'll

521
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: use him. He'll hurt Clyde Edwards Laire's fantasy value. But

522
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's really gonna Kansas City is

523
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: already our favorite. I don't know if this really makes

524
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: them more of a favorite. I think this just makes

525
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: them the same amount of favorite. All right, Aaron, let's

526
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: go to that game. Chief's Bills now, I totally misread

527
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee Buffalo because I thought Tennessee only getting two practices

528
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: in sixteen days at their facility would hurt them. But

529
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: like the rest helped them. They look so much more

530
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: fresh than Buffalo. Buffalo almost looked like it was thinking

531
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs. Um Any thoughts on Chiefs bills and

532
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: the extra rest for Kansas City here, well, Kansas City

533
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: gets a little bit of extra rest, but you know,

534
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo does get a little bit of extra rest two

535
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: because of the fact that it's a I mean, there

536
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: they get six days. It's not it's not a Sunday game,

537
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: it's a Monday game, so they get most of their

538
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: whole week. I mean, I think Kansas City is clearly

539
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: the better team, but I think Buffalo might cover. It's

540
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: four and a half. This seems like it might be

541
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: a good close game, but absolutely Buffalo. The problem with

542
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo this year is that everything we thought was gonna

543
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: be good has been bad. Everything we thought was gonna

544
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: be bad has been good. Their defense ranks twenty seven

545
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: in our numbers. They were are number one projective defense

546
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: going into this season, and they're twenty seven so far

547
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: this year. So, like Josh Allen has bawled out, but

548
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: the defense has really left them down. And defense has

549
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: really left them down is not a phrase you want

550
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: to hear when you're about to play Patrick Mahomes, which

551
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: is why I say Kansas City definitely is rightly favored

552
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: of this one. What about this silly idea that well,

553
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: you know what the the Chiefs are so good. Did

554
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: you see the plays they dialed up against the Ravens.

555
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: We're going to see that level of plays in a

556
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: big game against the Bills. Well, couldn't you just say, well,

557
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: where was that in the second half against the Raiders?

558
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: Why didn't they just do that kind of stuff? Because? Yeah,

559
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Andy Reida Mahomes coming off a

560
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: loss is something you you'll feel good about the Chiefs

561
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: bouncing back. But I don't know where are you on

562
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: that whole, Like, Hey, big game, Chiefs are gonna be

563
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: up for it. They weren't up for the Raiders, a

564
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: team they historically have died dominating. I feel like this

565
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: is the NFL. Man. These guys are professionals. They're they're

566
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: up for pretty much every game unless they quit on

567
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: their coach. And um, I mean I don't think Kansas

568
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: City saves its better plays for certain games. I mean,

569
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: I think they go out all out to win every week.

570
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: When you're trying to get the number one seed and

571
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, you go all out to win

572
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: every week. So I don't think that this week is

573
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: any different for them than any other week. They're all

574
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: out to win every game. Uh, Aaron chats football outsiders,

575
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: where are you on Patriots Broncos this week? Again? That's

576
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: barely been excuse you talked about? And uh, you know

577
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: there are there are the COVID fears on the Patriots,

578
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot of unknowns. It seems like Cam Newton will

579
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: be starting, but I mean, listen, Bill Belichick two weeks

580
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: to prepare for Vic Fangio and Drew Lock. This feels

581
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: like a layup Patriots winning handly. What am I missing?

582
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: Why is this line only eight and a half or nine?

583
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: I think because of the COVID fasis. I think because

584
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: of the idea that the Patriots have not gotten enough practices.

585
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: And again, this is something that's really hard to quantify.

586
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: We haven't had another season in history that we can

587
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: look at and go, oh, that's what happened when this

588
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: team couldn't practice because of COVID, Like, there is no

589
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: other season like that that we can use as an example. Now,

590
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: certainly Tennessee would be an example that having fewer practices

591
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: isn't a problem, but we don't, you know, that's one example.

592
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: We don't know, if for sure, what that means. So

593
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: that's probably why this line is only like nine rather

594
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: than being like eleven or twelve. But also, Denver's defense

595
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: has been reasonable this year. They're actually ten in our numbers.

596
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Has been reasonable, their offense has been hideous, and they

597
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: had a couple of random quarterbacks. Aaron, I'm curious. So

598
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: the Jets and Darnald they were in that game until

599
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: the end? Were they not? And and the Jets are

600
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: in that they I mean they could barely walk a

601
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: straight line. Yeah, I mean again, I mean, look, it's

602
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's no easy wins. Like every team is

603
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: trying usually for the most part, or we thought that.

604
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: We thought that Jets were trying at least up until

605
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: that point. So no, I mean, the Patriots are heavy

606
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: favorites of this game, but I think the line, this

607
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be like a good game to try

608
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: to get value on as far as the line goes like,

609
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: I think the line is pretty accurate. Okay, So how

610
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: about this, I'll I'll give it to you. Is there

611
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: a game or two that you absolutely love a side,

612
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: not a total, not a total. Pittsburgh by three and

613
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: a half. I really like Pittsburgh by three and a half.

614
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: We have Pittsburgh nine. We have Cleveland sev uh Cleveland actually,

615
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: uh we have in our numbers. Indianapolis actually slightly outplayed

616
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland on the play by play. Obviously Cleveland won the game,

617
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: but Indianapolis had more yards per play and a higher

618
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: offensive success rate than Cleveland did. And Mayfield is dealing

619
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: with the ribs the rib injury, so I really like

620
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: That's my favorite line of the week is Pittsburgh to

621
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: cover three and a half. I also like Indianapolis by

622
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: seven and a half. I think people are sleeping on

623
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: just how good that defense has been. And yeah, Rivers

624
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: has had some problems, but rivers problems have generally come

625
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: when he's losing this year, and I don't think he's

626
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: gonna be losing very much to Cincinnati. Interesting, but again,

627
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: I know a middle linebacker is not worth a ton.

628
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: But what about the Darius Leonard. I mean, he is

629
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 1: the captain of their defense, and it looked like they

630
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: were a little soft against the run against the Browns. Um, well,

631
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: everyone looks like they're soft against the run against the

632
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: Browns because the Browns have had the best running game

633
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: in the legal true story. But do you think that

634
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: if Leonard does not play, do you still feel as

635
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: good and that's a tough one with the injuries. Like,

636
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: how much do you value Darius Leonard? Well, he was,

637
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: wasn't he almost the defensive player of the year, the

638
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: rookie of the year? Um, when when he first came in,

639
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: he was awesome right out of the gate. Um. Do

640
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: you if he if he's out, do you feel as

641
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: confident about the Colts? Yeah? I do feel less confident

642
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: up Polts covering if he's out. I mean, obviously, uh

643
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: seven and a half. I believe it's the line, and

644
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: that's a hard line to cover, right because you can

645
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: win by seven pretty easily, and that's not a cover.

646
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: So if he's at a little not quite as good

647
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: about it, but definitely still good about Indianapolis winning that game.

648
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: All right, Aaron Schats Football Outsiders, he's at FO Underscore

649
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: A shats Aeron Chats always great information and up to

650
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: speed on everything. Thanks a lot, Aaron, have a great weekend. Hey,

651
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on the show. All right, coming

652
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: up next year on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, Gavin,

653
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: did you give any thought at all two Colts Bengals?

654
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: Because I'm looking at that here and I have it

655
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: in my notes. I like the Colts a lot, but

656
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: with Leonard doubtful. I don't know that. And again it's

657
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: just one player, and you don't want to make your

658
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: decision on the middle linebacker. But he's instrumental to that defense.

659
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: He's everywhere. I also think the Colts are gonna pull

660
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: back the rains on rivers a bit, kind of like

661
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: what they did in the first few weeks, not have

662
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: them throw as much as we saw last week that

663
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: led to their downfall. Yeah, yeah, um, I guess I'm

664
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: with him. I definitely like Pittsburgh that is that's my

665
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: number one coming up next year on Fox Fox Port Radio,

666
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: Darryl moriy y'all are laughing at him. He didn't even

667
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: get to the NBA finals now once, but he had

668
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: such a massive impact on the NBA in the last

669
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: thirteen years. We're gonna give him a shout out here.

670

681
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Back here on Fox Sports Radio, good stuff from Aaron Schatz.

682
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: I was just looking at some of the numbers. We're

683
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: gonna have to get to this game next hour. But

684
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: Houston Tennessee does not make a lot of sense to me,

685
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, Houston is objectionally bad, and their

686
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: wind came over Jacksonville, which half its defense was hurt,

687
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: and Houston outside of that has not looked very good.

688
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: And Tennessee is undefeated, and the matchup like all the tenants,

689
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: all the Houston linebackers are hurt. McKinney's out. Why can't

690
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry have a hundred fifty yard game here? I'm

691
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: done doubting Tennessee guys. I just I don't understand how

692
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: they're good. The numbers say they're not good and all

693
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,959
Speaker 1: they do is win. So what's the line on the game?

694
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: Three three and a half four? So I mean they're

695
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: saying it's essentially even, which is insane, like to say

696
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: that the Titans and what am I missing? Well, I

697
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of those things, right when it

698
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: gets that funky like that and it makes no sense

699
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: I and I would go with the Texans. That would

700
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: go because I look, the Titans are one of the

701
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 1: most I don't even know what you call them because

702
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: they continue to to show out, but it's always hard

703
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: to believe them, to trust them. And I I still

704
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: chuck that big Monday night game or Tuesday night up

705
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: to the Bills not being ready, you know, and Derrick

706
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: Henry has not looked the same. He did not look

707
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: like last year. It does feel like green Bay and

708
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee are the respective teams in each conference that the

709
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: stat guys do not like. The numbers say those teams

710
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: are not very good, but all they are is undefeated.

711
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: Now green Bay looks way better. Yeah, well, green Bay

712
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: is undefeated against the spread. Tennessee is all I think

713
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: one in three a t s. But um, but the

714
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: Titans beat up on or they beat They barely beat

715
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: a Broncos team, right like they they They've had these

716
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: wacky games and I don't know, I just I would

717
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: go Houston there, but I'm not bidding it. Yeah, that's

718
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: that's the problem. It's like, you know, backing these dogs

719
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: is tough. All right, Let's quickly just put a bow

720
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: on Darryl Morey's impact on the NBA. You guys do

721
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: remember what the NBA was like before Darryl Morey was there. Right,

722
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: There's a lot of post ups, a slowdown basketball, and

723
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Daryl Morey said, I found a market inefficiency. We're gonna

724
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: shoot three pointers, and for the next decade plus, all

725
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: anybody's done is shot three pointers. Obviously, more he wasn't alone.

726
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 1: The Warriors were early on that as well. And spotting

727
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: market inefficiencies in any walk of life, whether it's the

728
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: stock market or the NFL gambling market, like you want

729
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: to be early on that. That's where you can find

730
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: an edge, and the Rockets were able to find an edge.

731
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: Of the problem is he doesn't. He didn't ever get

732
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: through the finals, didn't break through. And I don't know, Kevin, like,

733
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: where do you come down? As Darryl Morey like a

734
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying always a failure, he never

735
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: got to the finals. Yeah, I don't. I think that's

736
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: kind of why when you look at a quarterbacks record

737
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 1: and say it's all on them, Like Justin Herbert hasn't

738
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: won an NFL game, No one thinks he's not going

739
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: to be a good franchise quarterback. Darryl Moore. Morey has

740
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: completely changed the NBA. He what he did with the

741
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: small ball lineups, and look, no it didn't completely come

742
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: to fruition, but there's a lot to be said about that.

743
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: What if Chris Paul doesn't get hurt, right and what

744
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: was Yeah? Uh, I mean there there's plenty that could

745
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: have gone their way. Um, and I you know, I

746
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,479
Speaker 1: think the NBA is better for it. And by the way,

747
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: I completely and I don't know this, but I completely

748
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: believe that Daryl Morey was pushed out. I'm not sure.

749
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: I think they had just run its course. And if

750
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: Daryl Morey wants another job in the NBA, he will

751
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: get it. You think it had to do with that

752
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: China tweet. I think it could have been a factor,

753
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: but I'm not I don't think that was the completely

754
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 1: It's weird. Somebody put out this interesting thread on Twitter

755
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: about how all the NBA analytics driven guys have gotten

756
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: pushed out of their respective organization. Sam Hinky obviously in Philly,

757
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: Uh Morey. There's like three or four other guys listed.

758
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: And the the author of the tweet used to work

759
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: at ESPN. His name is Henry Abbott, and he likened

760
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: it to the president pushing out people who don't say

761
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: what he wants to hear. And I didn't like that comparison. Um,

762
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: why would the owner care if Daryl Morey's making them

763
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: analytics driven? All the owner cares about is winning in

764
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: the bottom line. And and I don't. I think it's

765
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: a little nefarious to think we don't want too much

766
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: stats in this league, we've got to push them out.

767
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything there. Uh, it is a

768
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: fun conspiracy theory, and who doesn't love a good conspiracy theory?

769
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,560

776
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: the hour talking some NFL a lot of silliness about

777
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. They figured him out, but we're gonna get

778
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: we gotta get this guy on here. He's one of

779
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: the best guests we have. He's one of the most

780
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 1: plugged in NBA guys. There is Brian Winhorst of ESPN

781
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: joining the show. Brian, how are you man? I'm good?

782
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: Thank you? Jason? Yeah, I mean, how do you feel?

783
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: The season's over now? And it's gonna be the shortest

784
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: off season ever. There's so much uncertainty, uh in this offseason,

785
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't know how much movement there's gonna be. Uh.

786
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: You see Darryl Morey's gone DC Rivers to Philly. Um,

787
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this off season? The timing

788
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: of it just seems so strange, is it not? Yeah?

789
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean, normally this would be the week that the

790
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: NBA season would start, and in fact, in Europe they

791
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: are starting the NBA season and it's kind of weird

792
00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: to be following that as normal, and so um, when

793
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: you talk to teams out there, there's a lot of uncertainty.

794
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: Um some teams will say, look, we're not having any

795
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: trade conversations at all right now because we don't have

796
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: guidance from the league. There are other teams who are

797
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of major preparations too. As soon as

798
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: they get the green lights, begin to, you know, get

799
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: involved with other teams looking to make deals. So while

800
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 1: I can't tell you when the flag is gonna drop,

801
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: I do expect it to be a pretty active off season.

802
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: However long that actually goes. There are teams that have

803
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: not been able to make trades since February who have

804
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: been looking to be active. I think we'll see movement

805
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: around in this draft. This has been the most analyzed

806
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: draft in the history of the NBA because these teams

807
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: have had nothing to do for months and they've been

808
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: studying all this time. Watching it, They've fallen in love

809
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: with various players, and so I think we will see action.

810
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: I just can't describe exactly how it's gonna go. I

811
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: don't know how much you love the draft, but is

812
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: already buzz about any players in particular that you're hearing,

813
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: you know? I think one of the things people think

814
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: in this draft is the is the place for where

815
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: you can when you can hit a home run is

816
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: in picks like eight through a team. There's not a

817
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: lot of excitement about the top of the draft, where

818
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: you know, people don't think that Lamar you know that

819
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: LaMelo ball is gonna come in and all of a

820
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: sudden change your franchise, you know the way. We saw

821
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of that with John Morant, for example,

822
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: in Memphis last year. But there is excitement about some

823
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: of those guys in that second tier that maybe picked

824
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: up higher than their draft position. But I gotta tell you, Jason,

825
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: this is my eighteenth year about to start covering the NBA.

826
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: Every single draft has different people saying different things about it.

827
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: Every single draft has an impact player in it, but

828
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: sometimes it's very hard to predict. So the one thing

829
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: I will ask in the final four teams in the Bubble, Okay,

830
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: we we've been told this is a wing league at

831
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: three point shooting league. Final four teams in the Bubble

832
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: featured Anthony Davis, bam At a bio Uh they ended

833
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: up going to the finals, and then yokich Uh from

834
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: from Denver Boston was a wing heavy team. But seeing

835
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: three bigs of the final four, is this just an

836
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: anomaly or is this maybe give some credence to Okay,

837
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: big men are not totally dead in the NB end. Well,

838
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: I think, if you could put it quickly, I think

839
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: what people want in the NBA today is versatility. They

840
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: want players who can play multiple positions. Uh. That's not

841
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: really Yokich, although he kind of can play point guards. Um,

842
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 1: but that's certainly bam At a bio. That's certainly Anthony Davis.

843
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis could probably get he was playing small forward. Uh,

844
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: that you had to at some points in this league.

845
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: So I think people love versatility, and that's one of

846
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: the reasons why there's a lot of interest in a

847
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: guy like Wiseman. That's one of the reasons why LaMelo ball.

848
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: Even though he doesn't shoot the ball great, his shooting

849
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: members haven't been great. They love the fact that he

850
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 1: can handle the ball and he sticks with seven. They

851
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: love guys who fit that bill. And that's what everybody

852
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: is looking for right now. And when you look and

853
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: look at the dominating players out there in the league,

854
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: most of them are multidimensional players. All right, let's get

855
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: to the Lakers in their championship win. Brian, I think

856
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: you had said that Lebron really wanted to play with

857
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: Rondo because he had played against him when he was

858
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: in Boston and he knows the kind of tenacious COMPETITORI

859
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: is Lebron wanted Anthony Davis he got that. Is there

860
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: anybody out there that could hit the market that you

861
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: think Lebron wants to play with? Obviously Carmelo Anthony's a

862
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: name where I would suspect you're gonna hear. But I'm

863
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: curious just to your thoughts on this Chris Paul stuff.

864
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know where it started, but I'm curious

865
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: if you think there's any legs to that whatsoever. Well,

866
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: you know, Lebron places point card for the Lakers now

867
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: and he's a championship point card, and so I'm not

868
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: sure how that would find. I will say that they

869
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: have an interesting decision coming up with Cantabious Cauldwell Pope.

870
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna opt out of his contract, but Akers can't

871
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: really replace him, um, so they're probably going to have

872
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: to resign him, but they have the option of trying

873
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: to sign and trade him, and that opens up some

874
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: options and So the Lakers are gonna have to decide

875
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: whether they want to try to be dynamic. Do they

876
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: want to see what the market is for Danny Green,

877
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: for example, do they want to see what they could

878
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: possibly do in a sign and trade for Contavious called

879
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: well Pope, or do they want to bring back the

880
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: championship roster that they have. And these are discussions that

881
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna be having in the next few weeks. Um.

882
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, I can draw you a map of how

883
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers could get Chris Paul. It would probably make

884
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: your head spin a little bit, um, But I was

885
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: actually talking to a lead executive yesterday and we went

886
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: over how you could do it. Um, it can be done.

887
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 1: But the question you have to ask yourself is do

888
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: you want to break up a championship roster? Do you

889
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: want to take wing players like Danny Green and Cantaba's

890
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: called all Pope guys were pretty valuable in today's NBA

891
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: and swap them out and then to have to try

892
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: to find a way to replace those types of players.

893
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: So that's the thing, Like, Um. The other thing is

894
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: Lebron and Chris Paul have had opportunities in the past

895
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: where they could have tried to play together, and they

896
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: have not. Even though they're great friends, and even though

897
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: I think there's an interesting you know, in the grand scheme,

898
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that they feel like they would fit

899
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: all that great on the same team. I'm with you, Brian.

900
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: We'll talking with Brian Winhorst, BOOKSELLERYSPN guy, NBA superstar. Uh.

901
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you know you live out there in Warren Buffett Country? Okay,

902
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: you know that in the markets you want to sell high.

903
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: Wouldn't this be the perfect sell high of KCP? Like

904
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: any team dumb enough to back up the brinks for

905
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: a guy who looked pretty good in a couple of

906
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: games playing with Anthony Davis and Lebron Like, I mean,

907
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: go ahead, Orlando, take him, He's yours. You know, Lakers

908
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: should not overpay for KCP. I know he had some

909
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: good games, but Brian, like, let's not let a few

910
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: finals games obscure the big picture body of work. Like

911
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: he's easily replaceable. So, Jason, I have covered a number

912
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: of championship teams now, And this is what pat Riley

913
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: discussed is often when he talks about the disease of

914
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: more um. This definitely happened with the Calves in two

915
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, where some of their role players went

916
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: off and got paid and left the championship team. You know,

917
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Uh, the reason Cantavious Callwell Pope is

918
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: so valuable to the Lakers is he cannot be replaced

919
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: eas So his leverage is the difficulty in replacing him.

920
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, there's not there's not The Lakers don't have

921
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: an enormous amount of salary cap room or or flexibility

922
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: to go out and sign a player. So you say,

923
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay me more money because you

924
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: can't replace me. And Rob Polika is a former agent.

925
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: He has made this exact argument at times in the

926
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: past that he's wanted to get his guys resigned. So again,

927
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna take some management here. It always takes management

928
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: and to keep it a team together. But I think Jason,

929
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: your point is interesting. You know, would it be interesting

930
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: for the Lakers to investigate what the market would be

931
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: four k CP and assign and trade when they go

932
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: out there and look and see what they could do,

933
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: uh with with the Amy Green and you know, will

934
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: they themselves look to go chase free agents in the

935
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: market like one of the things. That's the reality here

936
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: that I think benefits the Lakers. I would say the

937
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: good news badness for the Lakers next year is I

938
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see some some stronger competition because the

939
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: Warriors are coming back online. We think the next we

940
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: expect to be a championship contender next year. Those were

941
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: teams that were out of the mix this year the

942
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: Lakers don't have to deal with. But the positive for

943
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: them is I expect this to be a bear market

944
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: in free agency, so players who will not get the

945
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: money that they can that they want may look for

946
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: other things such as where they can live, who they

947
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: play with, playing for a championship. So let me just

948
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: give you a name as an examp apple. Not that

949
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: I am saying that the Lakers would go after him.

950
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: Danilo Gallinari is a free agent. I'm not sure there

951
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a strong market to pay him

952
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: more than the mid level because I don't know if

953
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: teams are gonna rewinding to spend on a guy like that.

954
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: That's the guy with the Lakers would say, hey, come

955
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,959
Speaker 1: take the money we can offer you for one year

956
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: and try to win a title here. That's not a

957
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: player you could normally get um, you know, with the

958
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: mid level exception in the past. So that is an

959
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: example of where the Lakers could to bring their team

960
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: back and still add So yeah, Brian, this is great.

961
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: I argued on on my podcast that, like, listen, if

962
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: you are in the NBA, you've got a decision to make.

963
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: Hey man, I'll take a little less to go play

964
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: with the Lakers. Have I was with the Lakers on

965
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: my resume, and you know we've seen Jared Dudley. Now,

966
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: I know he didn't have a ton of options. He

967
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: comes to the Lakers, he gets into the social media stuff,

968
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: he's down in the l A market, he's going on

969
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 1: the radio, he's going on TV. You really opens doors

970
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: for you to play in l A and with the

971
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: Lakers and with braun. If I'm a guy like I

972
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: don't know, Avery Bradley, I'm like, buy KCP. I now

973
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: have more opportunities. I mean, I'm just looking at the

974
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: free agent list of shooting guards and listen, it is

975
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: pretty bleak Rodney Hood, I think, coming off an injury,

976
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: But what about I don't know, what about a guy

977
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: like Kent Baysmore. Is he that much of a downgrade

978
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: from k cp uh. You know, I think that's a challenge,

979
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: like like like technically, Rondo could ask the Lakers for

980
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: up to ten million dollars. The Lakers have the ability

981
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: to pay Rondo up to ten million dollars next year.

982
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: Do you give Rondo ten million dollars? No? Is he

983
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: a ten million dollar players? So so does Rondo goes

984
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: somewhere else where he could get you know, seven or

985
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: eight million if the Lake you know this case cp

986
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: you know he made eight million this year. He's opting

987
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: out of eight and a half. I could see him

988
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: saying to the Lakers, you pay Danny Green's fifteen million.

989
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm as valuable as Danny Green. This case p make

990
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: an issue. You know, these are the things that you

991
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: don't know. And also with the uncertainty in the finances

992
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: for next year, we don't know how many people the

993
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: Lakers are gonna be able to and to have into

994
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: the arena. While they are a rich franchise, and while

995
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: they just did something that's very very rare Jason, which

996
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: is they won a championship without being a luxury tax payer.

997
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: It's only happened like twice in the last fifteen or

998
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: eighteen years. Um, you know, there's a lot of money there,

999
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: but they but they might have to draw the line

1000
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: somewhere because they're gonna have to give Anthony Davis a

1001
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: pretty big race here as well. So, um, before it's

1002
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: before you can analyze what's gonna happen with the Lakers

1003
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: in free agency, yeah, or you know you have to say, well,

1004
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: who are they keeping and how is this all working out?

1005
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: And what sort of contract is Anthony Davis signed? I

1006
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: could see him. I think the thing that makes the

1007
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 1: most sense is only signing a two year contract because

1008
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: of the uncertainty with the salary cap. And then you

1009
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: could argue head with some Lebron's only got one and

1010
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: left deal, maybe he should always sign a one year

1011
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: deal to make sure everything say okay in a year, Uh,

1012
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: to match Lebrian's situation. Oh my gosh, so much fun.

1013
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Clippers real quick. Uh.

1014
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: Kind of an uninspiring move for from me from my

1015
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 1: point of view, Tyler like he was on that bench,

1016
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: he was in all those huddles where they melted down

1017
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 1: against the Nuggets up three one end up like twenty

1018
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: points in the third quarter. I don't know, to me,

1019
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: It's not big of a move. Do you think anything

1020
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: else is coming to the Clippers? Like, say, do they

1021
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: look to move off of Paul George? If these rumors

1022
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: about dysfunction with lou Will and Harold and Paul George

1023
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 1: and Kauai and load management? Uh, do you think anything

1024
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: else is coming with the Clippers or the potential there?

1025
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 1: Let me just say that I'm aware of that stuff

1026
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: that happened. I know that the athletic reported it and

1027
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: it's accurate. I mean I was aware of it in

1028
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: mid season. I do not think that that had anything

1029
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: to do with the with the reason the Clippers fell

1030
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 1: apart against the Nuggets. Do I think that star players

1031
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: in this league get preferential treatment and the role players

1032
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: get annoyed by a time? Yeah, it happens. Do you

1033
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 1: know where else it happened? Did I get in Toronto?

1034
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: But the Toronto players got annoyed with with Kauai getting

1035
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: special treatment last year and guess what when they were

1036
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 1: when they were in their parade, they didn't care about

1037
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: it for one iota. Okay, it's part of it's part

1038
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: of the deal. Um. You know. The the challenge for

1039
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: the Clippers is, you know they have a couple of

1040
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: free agents to deal with. What do you do with

1041
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: Marcus Morris? What do you do with Montrese Harroll. Do

1042
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: they look into the sign and trade market? Do they

1043
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: see what Montrese Harrold can do in terms of of

1044
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: a sign and trade somewhere? Is that's something they get into.

1045
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: To me, their personnel is as important as their coaching higher.

1046
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: But you brought up a very good point. If I'm

1047
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: the Clippers, but I'm Steve Ballmer, I'm asking Tyler and

1048
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: my first question in the interview, um, what exactly happened?

1049
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: Because you were there for all. In my from what

1050
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: I und stand, Tyrone Lou was always the number one

1051
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: candidate from that job. He was almost always going to

1052
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: get it. I know that they did go through a process,

1053
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: and they spent the last forty eight hours telling every

1054
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: reporter who called them about their process. We went through

1055
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,959
Speaker 1: this process, We talked to ten guys, We were very

1056
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: very thorough. To me, that was just and I'm sure

1057
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: they did go through the process. I'm not saying that's

1058
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: not true. To me, it was just a way to

1059
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: cover for the fact that they fired a very successful

1060
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: coach and replaced him with the guy on the staff,

1061
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: which is a risk. There are times where that has

1062
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: gone well in NBA history, and there are times when

1063
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: that has gone poorly. I know Tyrone lou Well, I

1064
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: have a mental respect for him as head coach, but

1065
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that he could have fixed what went

1066
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: against the Clippers. They are they were one of the

1067
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: most disappointing teams I've ever seen. They need some some

1068
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: they need some internal leadership from the roster. There's going

1069
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: to have to be roster changes. I don't think the

1070
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 1: mag I think Paul Georgia, Kauahi Leonard are very hard

1071
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: to get in, very hard to replace. Those guys aren't

1072
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: going anywhere. But there's gotta be some other leadership. With

1073
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: Wilmot Rawson, Yeah, I don't know where it comes from

1074
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: because Kauai is no leader, that's obvious, So maybe lou

1075
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: Will I don't know. All right, let me the last

1076
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: two quickly. Uh does in your guests, does Janice sign

1077
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: the Super maxis offseason? Well, we have to see what

1078
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: the rules are. We don't know how the thing's made. Change.

1079
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a bit of a cop out answer,

1080
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: I agreed, but it's also true. So we have to

1081
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: see the rules. But he really doesn't benefit. I go

1082
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 1: the rules that are currently in place after it. If

1083
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: those rules stay in place, he really doesn't benefit by

1084
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: signing it now. Um, he has the same options a

1085
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: year from now in terms of getting paid, and he

1086
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: limits his options for movements. So I would say it's

1087
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 1: more likely than not that he does not sign it.

1088
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: It's not like percent five percent, there's a there's you know,

1089
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: there's two hundred million reasons why it could be very

1090
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: incentivized to sign it. So but I but what is

1091
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: this way? Teams out there are operating under the belief

1092
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: that that's probably not gonna happen, right, last one, super quick?

1093
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: Sorry you gotta go. Um Ben Simmons and Joel and

1094
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: b Do they get split up this offseason? Highly doubtful.

1095
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: I think they changed the coach to try to figure

1096
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: that out. But long term, a year from now, next summer,

1097
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: I think that if they don't have a great year

1098
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: this year, it's it's on the table, all right. Good stuff,

1099
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: Brian Winhorse, hey man, thanks a lot for the time.

1100
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Sell more books. Uh, you've

1101
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: got a great podcast. Brian Winhorse crushing it in life

1102
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: and on the NBA. Thanks man, um boy, there there's

1103
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff there. He's just I mean,

1104
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: I had to keep him on. I'm sorry. I was saying,

1105
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: I know you're excited. We will get I always. Sam's

00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean the knowledge there, the depth, it's just riveting.

1109
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk a little bit about that and

1110
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: get back to the NFL. UM after this, perk up

1111
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: your ears for Farmers policy perks from discount too, added benefits.

1112
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: You can get a whole lot of something. Get a

1113
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: quote by calling one farmers. Were Farmers not available in

1114
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: every state? Only available is like Farmers brand policies underritten

1115
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: by Farmers. Rucker fire insurance exchanges are affiliate. Back here

1116
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, thirty five minutes to the college

1117
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: football schedule. We'll do that next Ila, Sam, So get

1118
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: ready to fire on all cylinders. Whether it's Dabo's face guard,

1119
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's latest COVID negative test Alabama, Georgia seems interesting.

1120
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: Um So, I'm still reading the book Sa Sapiens. Guys,

1121
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: It's taken me forever. It's an incredible book, And unfortunately

1122
00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: the best time for me to read is right before

1123
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: I go to bed, so I'll only bang out like

1124
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: two or three pages. But it's thick and dense, and

1125
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: you've really got to think about it, so I gotta

1126
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: reread paragraphs. I'm taking notes, jotting stuff down. And one

1127
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: of the key aspects to the book that from my perspective,

1128
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: and I haven't looked up reviews or any of this stuff, um,

1129
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: is the ability of humans to create things out of

1130
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: thin air and the imagination of humans like what we've

1131
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: been able to accomplish. It is pretty astonishing. And you've

1132
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: got to read the book Sapiens. And when I think

1133
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: about the NBA and just listening to Brian Windhorst, the

1134
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: amount of creativity in that league has really helped it.

1135
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: I know the ratings weren't good, although the ratings have

1136
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: been terrible for everybody, all sports, prime time TV, NBA

1137
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: ratings have been bad. The creativity is what drives this

1138
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: league in the off season. Who could be on the move,

1139
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: who could team up potential trades like that stuff is

1140
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 1: just to me, it's fascinating. And listen to Windhorse and

1141
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: it felt pretty good to hear Gallinari right after we

1142
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: mentioned him in the first hour, right, Gallinari's a guy

1143
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure would love to ruin a ring. He's a scorer.

1144
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's too soft for a guy

1145
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: like Lebron. But and the idea that Chris Paul and

1146
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Lebron are friends and they've had chances to link up

1147
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: but they haven't, does that mean maybe they don't want to?

1148
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: And and I know, listen, we do mostly NFL on

1149
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: the show. NFL is number one the casual listener. I think,

1150
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: driving in his car his kid to soccer practice on

1151
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, wants to hear who Jason likes or give

1152
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: me an interesting take on you know, Lions, Jags, Uh, Cardinals, Cowboys.

1153
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: We haven't even talked Dak Prescott's injury. So much has

1154
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: happened in sports in the league since then. But there's

1155
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: something about just the potential for this in the NBA,

1156
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: like if I had more time with Win worse. Is

1157
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,959
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal on the move? Do you know how many

1158
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: people Gavin sent me the link? Bradley Bell bought a

1159
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: house in Venice? Does he want to go to the Lakers?

1160
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Is he going to the Clippers. M hmm. I mean

1161
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: he married or he's getting married to a woman they

1162
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: have a couple of kids together, who was briefly in

1163
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: a reality show and maybe that's like her future. Like

1164
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: it's just so crazy how that stuff drives interest in

1165
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: the NBA. And I'm going to push back because we

1166
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: just saw the NBA ratings, I mean, setting records for

1167
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: how bad they were. I think the majority of our

1168
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: listeners are more concerned about their NFL team and hearing

1169
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: outside the Lakers. The Lakers are one team, massive fan base,

1170
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: but it's one team and it just doesn't draws. Yeah,

1171
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if there's as much interest

1172
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: in the potential for what could happen like the Orlando Magic.

1173
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Who cares? You know, maybe seven people listening could even

1174
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: name three guys on the Orlando Magic roster, but I'm

1175
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: sure if we made it. Um, what's the second biggest

1176
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: college football game? Who's Notre Dame playing the Notre Dame?

1177
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: All of a Sudden's top five team in the country.

1178
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't know Gavin about college football, Like,

1179
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 1: how are the I saw the ratings were pretty down

1180
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: for college football this year. Um, how interested are you

1181
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: in college football right now? I'm well, I mean the

1182
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: product has looked great. Products the biggest thing. You know,

1183
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: We've got Georgia Alabama. Later, there's gonna be fans bare right, Yeah,

1184
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: there will be fans that believe Sam? Is that correct? Oh?

1185
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: I will I will fact check that. I was thinking

1186
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: there was UM and I know a lot of the

1187
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: NFL teams. I think the Eagles are about to start

1188
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: allowing fans. Oh no, this weekend. I don't know about

1189
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: this weekend. I love the Ravens. I gave that out

1190
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: earlier this week on the podcast Straight Fire. UM, and

1191
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: it's now up to like nine and a half because

1192
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles offensive line is going to be the whole

1193
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: right side is with like down lane Johnson's out, Um,

1194
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: And we'll get back to NFL. And second, I guess

1195
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: what Sunday the Eagles will fans in the stadium up

1196
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: to people so the same amount that we just saw

1197
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: it the Titans game on Tuesday. Yeah, I couldn't tell

1198
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: if that made like a difference noise wise, did it

1199
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: for you on on TV? It's hard to tell because

1200
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: they pump up so much fake noise. But I really

1201
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: do think that it impacts the players, And you know,

1202
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: part of me wonders if, um, you know, the the

1203
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: impact this is having on guys. You know, maybe Brady's

1204
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: thing wouldn't happen in a normal year. I don't know,

1205
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, the fourth down thing. Yeah, so

1206
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: sometimes I I do, I do wonder how much and

1207
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: the rookies, right, would justin Herbert be looking this good

1208
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: if he had to go into hostel? Yeah, Chiefs, that's

1209
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: a great point. All right, let's touch up on that.

1210
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: We'll come back after the break and hit on that

1211

01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,200

01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: comes back negative, he will be cleared to rejoin his

1217
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: team for tonight's game at Georgia. A short time ago,

1218
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Saban himself appeared on college Game Day. I've ever had

1219
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: any symptoms, pay be asymptomatic of fever. Oxygen levels are great,

1220
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: never been sick at all. In the NFL. Mary Kay

1221

Speaker 1: Cabin of the Cleveland Playing Dealer reports that Brown's receiver

1222

1223
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: so he's been cleared to play tomorrow against the Steelers

1224
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad players tested positive for COVID.

1225
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: The Jaguars will work remotely today as a precaution, but

1226
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: as of right now, Tomorrow's home game against the Detroit

1227
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: Lions remains on. And finally, Mike Cliss of KUSA Television

1228
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: out of Denver reports that Broncos running back Melvin Gordon

1229
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: will not travel to New England for tomorrow's game against

1230
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots after being diagnosed with strep throat. Jason back

1231
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: to thank you, Isaac, I actually cut Melvin Gordon this league.

1232
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm done with him. First of all, why did you

1233
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: have him on your team in the first Well, he's

1234
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: decent running back, you know, like, I'm in a twelve

1235
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: team league. It's pretty maybe it's a four team um,

1236
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: and it's pretty competitive, so you need some bad running

1237
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: backs on your team. But Melvin Gordon, first of all,

1238
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: that Lindsay's coming back from injury, right, and they you

1239
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 1: know that. I think he's gonna get Gordon's looking at

1240
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: his suspension for the d u y probably a game

1241
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: or two and now the strep throat and I just

1242
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: by the way, no one wants to talk about it,

1243
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,479
Speaker 1: but what a terrible look to get a Dewey during

1244
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: a pandemic, Like what are you doing? Do we? I've

1245
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: never heard it referred to as that. I wonder where

1246
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: was he at a bar like his Denver? But that's

1247
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: the thing, like I just man self awareness, give the

1248
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: whole new meanings of the term Dewey decimal system. I

1249
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: didn't know there was meaning. I think he was from

1250
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,919
Speaker 1: what I read he was driving around downtown Denver. Maybe

1251
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was, you know, like ripping

1252
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: around the streets or something and maybe caught the attention

1253
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: to police. But that but obviously yeah, but he had

1254
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: been to a business or somewhere where he was able

1255
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: to drink out in public or someone's private residence. But

1256
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: also he had just complained on Twitter about having his

1257
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: bye week stripped of oh, you know, are we really

1258
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: going to have this game canceled after practicing all week priorities,

1259
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: so he took it out on the public by Gavin

1260
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: what's worse A do you I during a pandemic? Or

1261
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: cheating on your wife and an orgy with your brother

1262
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 1: and some women in the middle of a pandemic, and

1263
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: then your wife showing up? Yeah, didn't she have a gun?

1264
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,760

1277
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: Let me ask you. I'm looking at the college football

1278
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: schedule today kicks off in twenty five minutes. Um, it

1279
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: just hasn't felt like a normal I mean, nothing's normal.

1280
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm I'm looking at the schedule, like

1281
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: what time is Alabama Georgia? Is it a three thirty?

1282
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: Is it a night game? Um Son five? So eight o'clock,

1283
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: So it's a night game. So I may catch some

1284
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: of that because you know, I'm a dad. I don't

1285
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: have a life at night. I don't really do anything. Clemson,

1286
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. Look at this spread on that bad boy

1287
01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: twe I just saw Pittsburgh on the road in Miami.

1288
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh like your quarterback's got COVID or something. He's out, Like,

1289
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 1: come on, Pittsburgh. There's no chance I would gather Auburn

1290
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Not a lot of great games today. Obviously

1291
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Alabama George is the headliner. But you know I looked

1292
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: through everything else, and you know what would have been

1293
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 1: a great game was Oklahoma State and Baylor, but it's postponed.

1294
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: Um four or five postponed games today, Yeah, Florida and

1295
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: l s U. Okay, what am I missing here? Ia

1296
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 1: Sam Cincinnati is the eighth rated team in the country. Well,

1297
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: you gotta keep in mind that there's no Big Ten

1298
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: teams really ranked. I mean there are in some polls,

1299
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: like they're they're sort of placeholders. Yeah, I see O

1300
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: and O and there rank. Yeah, well, you know, Coastal

1301
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: Carolina could be ranked like in a week or two

1302
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: because they just beat Louisiana, and Louisiana Raging Cages were

1303
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: number twenty one. So they're like the rankings are a

1304
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: little wonky right now, actually very wonky. Um, did you

1305
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 1: guys see Now? I will say this. I did flip

1306
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: over to some of B y U Houston um last

1307
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: night during the Dodgers game. And if you've never heard

1308
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: of Zack Wilson, he's gonna be on playing on the

1309
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: Sundays in the NFL. That guy is a pro. Um.

1310
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: Quite a comeback in the fourth quarter by B y U.

1311
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: They just put it on Houston. But this kid, Zack Wilson,

1312
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, Um, he's a future NFL player.

1313
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: Six three, big, strapping dude. I mean he looks he

1314
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: looks apart, that's for sure. And UM, I don't know.

1315
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get into college football. We'll see with

1316
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: Alabama today. I saw their score last week. I was

1317
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 1: sham sixty six on All miss. They gave up what

1318
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: forty eight or something. So we're definitely what definitely feels

1319
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: like college and pro feels like arena football a little bit,

1320
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: doesn't it. You're just having these really high scoring games.

1321
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: It's entertaining. But it's no no doubt that fans help

1322
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: defense and they feed off that energy, and I think

1323
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: it actually gives them focus, you know, you have when

1324
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: you have fans in the stands. It can really disrupt offenses.

1325
01:09:58,360 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we should all we should all

1326
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: know that by now, so you're the guys are able

1327
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: to concentrate more on the field, you know, they're not

1328
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: they're not duped by the crowd noise. So I guess

1329
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL, the theory was, well, you know, the

1330
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: league would love it if offense was through the roof

1331
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: because eyeballs gravitate towards scoring and attractive football points. Um,

1332
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: what's the excuse in college? Is it just that the

1333
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: offenses could practice together in the defenses obviously couldn't. Yeah,

1334
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: that's part of I think defenses take longer to jail. Um,

1335
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: you know. And again, I think when you're at home

1336
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: and you have your fans packed in the stands and

1337
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 1: you're on defense, you feed off of energy and and

1338
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: it's almost you know, because defense is all about anticipating

1339
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: what's coming to you and then if you can stop it,

1340
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, you get the crowd involved. And uh, it's

1341
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: the fans are that's a big deal that they're not

1342
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: in the like, you know, full capacity. I would say

1343
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: it matters more for college right, I mean sure, crazy

1344
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: loud in some of those stadiums. You've got nineteen year

1345
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: old kids stadiums with you know, a hundred thousand people

1346
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: capacity at e and and they're they're empty right now.

1347
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: And so you know, the fans in college football are

1348
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,640
Speaker 1: a crucial part of the game, which we love. I

1349
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: just I have how how's the situation in Iowa. Well,

1350
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: they're they're starting a week from today, if that's what

1351
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: you're asking. Yeah, and and I know COVID was pretty

1352
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: bad there. Yeah it was. It was about them six

1353
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago as it wasn't worth a lot of college campuses. Um,

1354
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: they've gotten it under control. I think the actually the

1355
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: io athletic department has done a pretty good job at

1356
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: mitigating cases and and managing that. Um. But yeah, it's uh,

1357
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: the Big ten is going to be marching forward no

1358
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: matter what's happening next week, right, yea next week. And

1359
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's interesting. I was actually listening to an

1360
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: interview UH at my old station in Iowa, and they

1361
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: were interviewing a Penn State reporter and he said, the

1362
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: thing you gotta watch that they've some of the big

1363
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:54,719
Speaker 1: ten teams have learned is that the guys you leave behind.

1364
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: You can't take everybody on a road trip, right the

1365
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: guys you leave behind who are either maybe walk ons

1366
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 1: or they're they're injured and they can't make the trip,

1367
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: they're the ones who actually end up kind of going

1368
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: off and maybe like watching a game with friends, and

1369
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: then they end up getting COVID. So you gotta you

1370
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: gotta keep it tabs on those guys that might be

1371
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 1: a little discouraged that they didn't get to make the trips,

1372
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: so they get a little lax in their in their

1373
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: precautions and so end of the bench guys, hey man,

1374
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: you can't just go come And they practiced with the team,

1375
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: but then they might have been hanging out with people

1376
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: and not being supervised. I mean, I guess the big

1377
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: difference I would say is apparently there have been almost

1378
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: no hospitalizations from the young kids as far as I

1379
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: can tell, which is great. Um, it's obviously not great

1380
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: if they go back home for Thanksgiving break and get

1381
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: spread it to the family and older you know, grandparents

1382
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: who may have show up for Thanksgiving. But I'm just

1383
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: curious on a personal level, Gavin and Sam, we've started

1384
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: to consider how we're going to handle the holidays with family. Um,

1385
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: have you guys talked to your family? And I'm just

1386
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: curious on a personal level. Doesn't have to do with sports.

1387
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:00,560
Speaker 1: How are you going to Are you guys gonna do

1388
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: like a normal holiday with your family? Yeah, we're still

1389
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: deciding that were That is definitely something. It's a tough one.

1390
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: Like I know, your parents, your grandparents and in laws

1391
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: are out here, right Gavin. Yeah, yeah, they're out here.

1392
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: There's no flight, no no flight, Um, but there are

1393
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: members that are immune, you know, compromised, and we got

1394
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: to be careful there. And then I say, you've got

1395
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: family in what Iowa? Yeah? I have a family spread

1396
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: across the Midwest and especially in Iowa. But I'm I'll

1397
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: be here for most of the holidays. So I might

1398
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 1: join my my girlfriend and her her folks and you know,

1399
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 1: they're their family and stuff, but um, I'll be working

1400
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: through most of the holiday, so I'm on the same boat. Uh.

1401
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: Usually the big stars Coward Dan Patrick takeoff time and

1402
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: that's when I fill in gets me great reps. Hey,

1403
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: I'm the Nubian Radio. I love it. Um. But that's

1404
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: easy when the family goes to the East Coast and

1405
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: I think we come to the decision we're not going

1406
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: to be doing that. I like, first of all, travel

1407
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: around the holiday sucks to begin with, right, And I

1408
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: just don't think going from here to the cold weather, Um,

1409
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be indoors on the like. You don't want

1410
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: to be on the East Coast in November December. It's cold.

1411
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 1: You can't have Thanksgiving dinner outside. You can do that

1412
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: here in l A. It's just one of those it's

1413
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 1: I just hate this crap man. And it sounds like

1414
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: the vaccine stuff ain't close um, And that just makes

1415
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: it more depressing because I hate to say, and we

1416
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 1: were complaining last night hanging out with some friends, like

1417
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: this isn't going away, guys, I don't. I think by

1418
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: we'll still be wearing masks in the grocery store six

1419
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: months from now. And if there is a vaccine, maybe

1420
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 1: by next summer things will open up. But I don't

1421
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: know how the heck NBA college basketball, Like, how how's

1422
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: that going to happen? In January February? I don't know.

1423
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 1: College basketball is marching on. Well, they say they are

1424
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: better be they say they're they're talking a tough game.

1425
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: You know what I want? College basketball? Damn it? College

1426
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: football talked to tough game for a long time and

1427
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 1: then come August, whoa hold the horse? But isn't isn't

1428
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: college football playing out exactly how we thought it would? Postponements,

1429
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: positive tests, delays, one travel a week. College basketball, what

1430
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: are they gonna do? I mean they're playing gonna play

1431
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 1: slightly shorter scheduled Still, I mean, if you're gonna do

1432
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: a Tuesday Saturday game or Wednesday twice, you're traveling in

1433
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 1: a week, potential for way more exposure than you think

1434
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: unless there's no overnights. Yeah, I mean, you know that's

1435
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: why they're playing mostly conference games. Yeah. Disappointing. All right?

1436
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, we'll go

1437
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: back to the NFL. I'm seeing news here that uh

01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: all week, and Baker mayfields hurt. I'm telling you this

Speaker 1: a mask out there? But can somebody get Dabbo Sweeney

1460

Speaker 1: a tailor? My gosh, what what kind of suit is that?

1461
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: It's like a size too large. It looks like a

1462
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: vacuum sales. And seriously, Dobby Bowden of the nineties right there.

1463
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: I have this love hate relationship with Dabo because he

1464
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: doesn't want to hey the players or let them get paid.

1465
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: But man, I love his story and I like almost

1466
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: everything else about him. Um. November six and seven, the

1471
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: This is how nerdy I am Gavin during the break

1472
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: and I'm so into the NFL. I've got like five

1473
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: different checks chains about with friends about gambling and um,

1474
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: someone just said, how are we missing the Tennessee Houston game?

1475
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Houston has two extra full days of rest. Shouldn't you

1476
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: just take Houston? If we're just talking about rest throughout

1477
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 1: the show, that rest matters. So then another guy said, well,

1478
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: what about Monday night football teams that played Monday? How

1479
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: have they done the year? And I'm calculating and it's

1480
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,560
Speaker 1: not doesn't look good. If you play Monday, you're on

1481
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 1: less rest. And I haven't done week five yet, but

1482
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:09,600
Speaker 1: one three and one heading into week five not a

1483
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: huge sample size. And I'm sure there's a segment of

1484
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: people out there, Gavin who were like, man, Jason, you're

1485
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: going overboard. Um. Colin Coward likes to say that one

1486
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: of my biggest strengths is I'm able to identify like

1487
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: where things might be headed and what might be next.

1488
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 1: I got listen, some of it is dumb luck, um.

1489
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: And I've talked about the very the various kinds of

1490
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: luck on the show before. Um. Sometimes you can get

1491
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: lucky just by stirring up stuff. Uh where where? When

1492
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: I was a young guy, I wanted to work in newspapers,

1493
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: and I blindly sent my resume to like thirty different

1494
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: newspaper editors. You know, you print out the copies of

1495
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: your work and you send it and maybe one or

1496
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: two are like, oh, this guy is interesting. But there's

1497
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: also the kind of luck where you put so much

1498
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 1: effort into it, eventually you're gonna strike gold. And this

1499
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,680
Speaker 1: is not that different from going to a bar and

1500
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: am I being saying you've got to be an aggressive

1501
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: I almost said a bad word there, an aggressive jerk.

1502
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: But the more women and people you talk to, the

1503
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: better your chances of meeting someone. And when you look

1504
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,679
Speaker 1: at the NFL, the more you dig into every game

1505
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 1: and every aspect of everything, the better your chances of

1506
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: coming through. Now there is the alternative where you get

1507
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: an overload of information that you know you just short

1508
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: circuit and screw up. But I guess, going back to

1509
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: Cowhard's thought is I have been pushing gambling for a while,

1510
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: and it just so happened that I position myself when

1511
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: gambling starts to become legal in states. Let'sten, I'm not

1512
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: an idiot and say I'm like the foremost authority. But

1513
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: I've done the homework. I've been gambling for a long time.

1514
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to talk about it, uh in various capacities.

1515
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,560
Speaker 1: And when I got to Fox, I was doing the

1516
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: shows and doing this radio show, and I said, guys,

1517
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: why don't we why don't we do some gambling videos

1518
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: for NFL? And College Football Weekly and they were like,

1519
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:16,560
Speaker 1: let's try it, and so we did that, and you know,

1520
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 1: I have three years a body of work of doing

1521
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: that for Fox. Now we're not doing college this year

1522
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 1: because Big Ten's not back. But I'm wondering, are they

1523
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna come to me and say, hey, j Big Ten's back,

1524
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: can we do gambling videos? And like, right now, I

1525
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:30,799
Speaker 1: don't know where I'd find the time in my schedule,

1526
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: but I make time obviously, And um, I'm doing a

1527
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: show Mondays with Cissa and Colin and then I do

1528
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: a Thursday gambling show with Jeff Schwartz and they just

1529
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: hit me and they're like, hey, we have this idea

1530
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 1: for one more show. And it's at a pretty high

1531
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: profile time and a pretty high profile position with a

1532
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 1: couple of big names I can't talk about, and it's gambling.

1533
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: And the more you look around, there's more states operating

1534
01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: in a deficit, you know, partially thanks to covid um

1535
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 1: an unintended consequence, And how are you going to make

1536
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 1: up that budget deficit? Well, why don't we legalize gambling

1537
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: and take it cut? Oh easy? You know, it's like boom,

1538
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: it's a slam dunk. So it's coming. You want to

1539
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: prepare yourself for it. Um, and now I've just gone

1540
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 1: on like a random gambling rant. Anyways, next hour NFL

1541
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: college Football, maybe a dollop of NBA, but college football

Speaker 1: kicks off in five minutes. Our number three here on

1548
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: Our number one was Aaron Chatson. We have a special

1549
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: former Major League Baseball old player coming up in about

1550
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes. I've done some TV with him. He

1551
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: is a fun funny guy. Also, as a hint as

1552
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: to who it is, he's married to a actress. So

1553
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: there's that. Um, it's funny. So I told you guys,

1554
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: I played poker Thursday night and there was a new

1555
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: guy there who, um, I hadn't met before. And it

1556
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 1: turns out he is a like he's like a barbar.

1557
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: He cuts hair and he's been doing it for a while.

1558
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: He has his own business, and um, we start talking

1559
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: about COVID, and he says, almost every kid in this

1560
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: area who was hair I cut, who went to college

1561
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: has gotten COVID and they got it in like the

1562
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: first month. And I was like, well, how do you

1563
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: know that. He's like, well, they told their parents and

1564
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 1: I cut their parents hair. And these kids are at

1565
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: big schools Alabama, Um, I think one is it like Tennessee.

1566
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: I was surprised a lot of kids from the South

1567
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: Bay where I'm at go to schools all over the country.

1568
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 1: I thought would be a little more West Coast flavor.

1569
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: But um, he said, I guess it's just happening a

1570
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: college campus and a the kids have symptoms for a

1571
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 1: day or two and then they're fine. And it was

1572
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 1: like nothing like the college kids. So this stuff is

1573
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: just it's not going away. And um, we got some

1574
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: good college football action today. We have a couple of

1575
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 1: games postponed. We'll obviously be watching and let you know

1576
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: if anything big happens. It sounds like all signs are

1577
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: pointing to Nick Saban coaching today. Tonight I should say, um,

1578
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: Alabama and Georgia the marquee game of the day. Um, Gavin,

1579
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: are you a weather guy? When it comes to gambling, like,

1580
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: where does that factory into your NFL because I see

1581
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: they just flashed on the screen it's a beautiful day

1582
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: in Miami. Well the weather is that could be beautiful

1583
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: tomorrow for Dolphins. Yet I think it usually impacts the

1584
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 1: totals um. But that is one of the reasons that

1585
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: I was bummed out to hear that the NFL wants

1586
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: to do a bubble in l A and Dallas for

1587
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: the postseas in because you're gonna not have the weather

1588
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 1: games in that time of year where we all love it.

1589
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: That's football weather, right rain? Yeah, I think. Didn't it

1590
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: snow during a Kansas City playoff game? I don't know,

1591
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: it always does it? Oh? Yeah? And that's what I

1592
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: mean is I would. I'm fine with the bubble aspect,

1593
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: it's just that they want to do it in these

1594
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: dome stadiums weather cities. Yeah, I think the other aspect

1595
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: of the NFL. And again I got Peter King came

1596
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: on my podcast Straight Fire, and I asked him like,

1597
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 1: why don't they just add a week to the end

1598
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 1: of the season and that makes the most sense, right,

1599
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: and his counter and listen, it's Peter King, Okay, that

1600
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 1: guy's as plug didn't it gets I don't know if

1601
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: he got this directly from Goodell? Who knows if you

1602
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:47,680
Speaker 1: add a week after week seventeen? Okay, the number one

1603
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,919
Speaker 1: seeds that will have home court advantage or home field advantage.

1604
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Let's say they rest their starters in week seventeen, So

1605
01:24:56,400 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: now you get week seventeen off, the added we eighteen off,

1606
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,679
Speaker 1: and then the bye week. So keavin is it fair

1607
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: for Kansas City or Seattle or uh? I don't whoever? Else?

1608
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: Could Green Bay? Is it fair for them to get

1609
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: three weeks off? I mean we've already the question. I mean,

1610
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: and yeah, when these games get postponed, there is a

1611
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 1: benefit to certain teams. Oh yeah, So I don't personally,

1612
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's fair at all. I mean, we've

1613
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: seen teams get hot, the wild card teams come in

1614
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: as underdogs and make runs simply because they don't have

1615
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: that week off. Now, the Patriots historically of love that

1616
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: week off. They don't want to play that week. Um,

1617
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,959
Speaker 1: But other teams, I don't know, I can disrupt the chemistry.

1618
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: Three weeks off is a long time, um. And and

1619
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: you come out flat for a quarter and boom, you're

1620
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,680
Speaker 1: down fourteen nothing and you can never rebound. The other

1621
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: team just starts ground and pound. I don't like that idea.

1622
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: I had been a proponent of the week added to

1623
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: the season, but now I'm I'm off that. Yeah, And

1624
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:01,560
Speaker 1: one thing I was thinking about what happened. You know,

1625
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots played the Chiefs so tough. I personally believe

1626
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: that if they had Cam Newton they would have won

1627
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: that game. Chiefs have not looked like the juggernauts they

1628
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: have been in the years past. Um, if they lose

1629
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,799
Speaker 1: the one seed and they're one game out of the Chiefs,

1630
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: how are they not going to look back at that

1631
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: game and goo, why wasn't that postponed? Why didn't we

1632
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: get it early bye week there instead of having to

1633
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: play that game with with Brian Hoyer as their quarterback.

1634
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: That's that's entirely fair now. I guess the only counter

1635
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 1: I would say is, you know, if you're looking across

1636
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: the field and seeing Brian Hoyer at quarterback, you're like, oh,

1637
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: we got this, You're probably not locked in if it's

1638
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I think it's probably a different mindset, right,

1639
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 1: different like attitude. I hear you, But I just thought defensively,

1640
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: they played the Chiefs very well. Brian Hoyer doesn't play

1641
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: on the defense, and and the Chiefs just have not

1642
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: looked like their normal selves at this point. And now

1643
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: you've gotten lev On Bell maybe that'll fix. So of

1644
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: course I end up looking like a clown when I say,

1645
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 1: after they crush the Ravens and um, they could go

1646
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: sixteen and no. Yeah, like it made total sense to

1647
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: me when you look at the the schedule. They played

1648
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: nobody good. But as you just said, they could, they

1649
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: tend to play down to the level of their opponents, right,

1650
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's the only reason, on the only

1651
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: excuse for that Raiders game. They let Gavin I know,

1652
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 1: my Chargers were up on the Chiefs. They took them

1653
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,679
Speaker 1: to overtime. Yeah, I mean imagine looking across the field

1654
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait, who started justin Herbert like they

1655
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 1: were I don't think they were ready for him at all.

1656
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: And and then they're like, well are we ready for

1657
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer? Do we care? We're gonna win this game?

1658
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: And then you look at the Raiders and the history

1659
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,679
Speaker 1: was we've dominated them, We've beat them by X amount

1660
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: of points in the last six games. At home or whatever.

1661
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a walkover. And they lead one

1662
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 1: ten and they just like stopped playing the defense looks

1663
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 1: looked like they were ready for like, you know, their

1664
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:59,439
Speaker 1: bye week or whatever. It was embarrassing. Um. But to

1665
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 1: go back to a point about extra rest, Gavin, I

1666
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: just during the commercial break, talied teams that play Monday

1667
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 1: this year and go into Sunday on short rest. Okay,

1668
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:15,879
Speaker 1: So two two teams played each other them the Steelers

1669
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,760
Speaker 1: open the season on Monday, and then they played Denver,

1670
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: which opened they had the double header on Monday. They

1671
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: both played the next Monday, and um, Green Bay had

1672
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 1: a bye week so that doesn't count. And Kansas City

1673
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: played on Monday against Baltimore and then the next Monday.

1674
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 1: So teams that play on Monday and then play Sunday

1675
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: are one five and one against the spread this year. Now,

1676
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 1: again small sample size. What does it mean? I don't know,

1677
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: I have no idea. This is a COVID year. Who

1678
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: the hell knows, but Gavitt, If teams that play Monday

1679
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:47,679
Speaker 1: and then play Sunday are one five and one against

1680
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:49,840
Speaker 1: the spread this year, what do you think that's gonna

1681
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: do for teams that play Tuesday and then play on Sunday.

1682
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: So you're saying we should I think I might have

1683
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: to fade the Titans. Now the Bills. One's interesting, right,

1684
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: because I almost feel like the Bills were had the

1685
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,679
Speaker 1: mindset of Kansas City. They were they were not really

1686
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 1: focused on this game. It was nearly canceled, and they

1687
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: were never really in that. It didn't feel like they

1688
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,839
Speaker 1: were in that. Did they No? And I was heavily involved.

1689
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I had a fantasy game where this is

1690
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: one of the wild This has been a weird year.

1691
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: The guy I faced had Melvin Gordon and Michael Thomas

1692
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 1: couldn't play either of them because of the bye and suspension,

1693
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 1: and all of his backups were Patriots or Lions that

1694
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 1: were on so he I. He essentially had said, I'm

1695
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna give you the win. I'm not gonna do some

1696
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 1: crazy roster construction. I had Josh Allen in Buffalo defense.

1697
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: I think I needed points, and I lost the game.

1698
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: I lost it by like three points, and and and

1699
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass with ten

1700
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game and never saw the ball again.

1701
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 1: He was on fire at the end of the game. Yeah,

1702
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: well I think like the kick returner fumbled it or something. Yes,

1703
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:01,920
Speaker 1: And I had turned off the game at that point

1704
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 1: because I was so down. But yeah, that was a

1705
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 1: tough one. Let me asked, this is Josh Allen is

1706
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: a good point. So you have him on Fantasy. He's

1707
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: been killing it. My brother has him on Fantasy and

1708
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:15,719
Speaker 1: he was undefeated. And who is the real Josh Allen Gevin?

1709
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 1: Is he the guy who we saw for over a

1710
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,759
Speaker 1: year as a Buffalo starter barely be able to complete

1711
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 1: six his passes and um, he likes to tuck and run.

1712
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 1: Or is he the guy we saw for four weeks

1713
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 1: come in and just throw, throw, throw completions dynamite. I

1714
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 1: think it's this Josh Allen we're seeing this season. I

1715
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 1: really think the one aspect that drove me crazy on

1716
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday was that Josh Allen did not run the ball

1717
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: at all. Don't they took? Yeah, but he has in

1718
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: the weeks past a little bit. Um, but he's incredibly

1719
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:55,679
Speaker 1: accurate this year, which looks great, and he's getting tons

1720
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: of time. I mean, that offensive line is playing terrific.

1721
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:02,600
Speaker 1: My only thought is we should they should mix in

1722
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more of that run. When he's dropping

1723
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 1: back and no one's open right away, he should take

1724
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,640
Speaker 1: off and run be safe with it. Yeah. Um, but

1725
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: if they can put it both together, I do think

1726
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 1: this is the real Josh Allen. Yeah, I just that

1727
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: game made me wondering again, like are things different? At

1728
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 1: the third play of the game, the past doesn't go

1729
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: off the wide receiver's arm right into the bread basket

1730
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 1: of Malcolm Butler interception the other way three plays later touchdown.

1731
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,799
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, yeah, and then that was freaky.

1732
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 1: That wasn't on Josh Allen. I didn't think. No, it

1733
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 1: wasn't at all. And the other interception was his fault,

1734
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:40,639
Speaker 1: but it was really you know, late into the drive.

1735
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean they were driving there that it should have

1736
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: been a closer game, but there were some turnover factors

1737
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 1: that went against. Yeah. I think the public is loading

1738
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 1: up on Tennessee because they saw the final score and

1739
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, Buffalo was unbeaten. Buffalo is supposed to

1740
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 1: be good, and like Buffalo moved the boat. Well, you

1741
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 1: said it right that the stats are I mean, if

1742
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 1: you look at just the box score, take a way,

1743
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: all the narratives and everything, they're like Okay, this should

1744
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 1: have been close. The thing is when when you when

1745
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 1: you have that many players in fantasy in the game,

1746
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 1: you pay very close attention to how it's going. The

1747
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,679
Speaker 1: Titans the majority of the time, they had very short fields.

1748
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 1: Their first touchdown he was their their first drive was

1749
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 1: one play to A. J. Brown and he was a

1750
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty thirty yard pass because they got a turnover and

1751
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 1: they were right there. And A J. Brown you mentioned

1752
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 1: him earlier. I think right, his his return is pretty significant.

1753
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,280
Speaker 1: He's I mean, that guy's all yeah, he is a beast.

1754
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:35,599
Speaker 1: He you know, he reminds me of his DK Metcalf.

1755
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I say reminds. But you look across the league.

1756
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: He looks physically imposing. Yeah they were ye. Yeah, And

1757
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 1: it seems like A. J. Brown is older because he's

1758
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 1: always hurt and he seems like his body has been

1759
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 1: through a lot more. But um, but man, he is

1760
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: a he is an animal out there, and uh, you

1761
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 1: know he's going to be going up against this kid,

1762
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 1: uh you know, hopefully not Vernon Hargraves, who's terrible on

1763
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 1: the outside for Houston, but Bradley Roby playing very well.

1764
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 1: He was a highly touted kid coming out, Um, he's

1765
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 1: showing well. I think you have to have Roby basically

1766
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 1: follow around a J. Brown that that's the only way

1767
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 1: because the other side, I mean, the kid Hargraves is rough.

1768
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,600
Speaker 1: He was the first round pick and he's been a

1769
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: total bust. All right, So we just did way too much.

1770
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 1: But I think I just talked myself. I gotta make

1771
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 1: a note into Houston in the contest. Um. They were like,

1772
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, one of my fringe teams, But I think

1773
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with them. By the way,

1774
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan in the NFL of free agent

1775
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 1: acquisitions working out, and Stefon Diggs has absolutely worked out.

1776
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 1: In the Bills, Oh my gosh, by the way, by

1777
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: the way, Bills, we didn't talk about it mysteriously, John

1778
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:44,800
Speaker 1: Brown and trade Avious White were late scratches. I mean,

1779
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 1: what were they holding them out? So they definitely play

1780
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:49,800
Speaker 1: this week like and that's the one thing, Gavin. In

1781
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles Baltimore Ravens game, I looked at that

1782
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: this week. I said, man, this is beat up Eagles team.

1783
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 1: They're about to fall to one in five. And I

1784
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,719
Speaker 1: look at the schedule and they have New York Giants

1785
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: next Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants. If you're the Eagles,

1786
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody ever punts a game or

1787
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:16,559
Speaker 1: tanks a game, That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying.

1788
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:20,920
Speaker 1: If you are the new Philadelphia Eagles, Gavin, and you've

1789
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 1: got the choice of holding out Lane Johnson and holding

1790
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,680
Speaker 1: out to Sean Jackson and al Shan Jeffrey so they

1791
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: are a healthy for next week against the Giants, you

1792
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 1: do that. This Ravens game doesn't mean anything. It's not

1793
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: it's a non conference game. Your path through the playoffs

1794
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:37,920
Speaker 1: if you're the Eagles is win the division and that's

1795
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 1: still in play. Dak Prescott's now hurt. I'll take Carson

1796
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: Wentz over Andy Dalton. I know once has been awful,

1797
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:46,960
Speaker 1: but I think the Eagles, if they play it smart,

1798
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 1: they sit there superstars who are not healthy, Lane Johnson,

1799
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: their best offensive lineman. We haven't seen the Shan Jackson

1800
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: al Shan and you get them full back next week.

1801
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: You beat the Eagles, then you beat Andy Dalton, then

1802
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,360
Speaker 1: you beat the Giants that and and all of a sudden, Oh,

1803
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going to the playoffs because they're healthy

1804
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 1: and and again this is uh the mindset I got

1805
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:10,479
Speaker 1: into this week. And again this is coming from like

1806
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: devouring every freaking aspect, guys. I mean I'm looking at

1807
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 1: the schedule, as I said, I'm looking at the weather,

1808
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Pro Football Focus rankings. I mean,

1809
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm taking everything into account that I possibly can. Yeah,

1810
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 1: I'll take a glance at trends. But if you want

1811
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 1: to be successful in life, in anything, you gotta go

1812
01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 1: full board. And I'm diving in heavily to NFL. And

1813
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 1: and it's you know, maybe my fortuitous luck that there's

1814
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:39,200
Speaker 1: barely any college football yet. Um and like I'm just

1815
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:42,599
Speaker 1: the NFL season to me has been incredible and um

1816
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: yeah I like the games this week. Quick other notes, So,

1817
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 1: if I had asked you who the best guard in

1818
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 1: the NFL was before the season, you probably would have

1819
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: said quentn Nelson on the Colts. Guy's a monster. The

1820
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 1: highest rated Pro Football Focus guard so far this year

1821
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: is a kid named Wyatt Teller for the Cleveland Browns. Like,

1822
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 1: who the hell is that? Well, he's shown really well

1823
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 1: and oh look, the Browns offensive line has been a

1824
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 1: juggernaut and they lead the league. They're one of the

1825
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 1: league leaders in rushing the football thanks to this Wyatt

1826
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 1: Teller interior run in the Stefanski zone running scheme. We'll

1827
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 1: look who's hurt and not playing this week. Wyatt Teller,

1828
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,600
Speaker 1: the highest graded offensive lineman for the Browns, who is

1829
01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 1: the best graded offensive guard in the NFL. He's out?

1830
01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 1: Who were they facing? The Pittsburgh Steelers with the number

1831
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 1: one pressure rate in the league, tied for the league,

1832
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 1: the NFL lead in sacks. What dupre hardgrove inside, folks,

1833
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 1: Just Pittsburgh is their goal is gonna be We're gonna

1834
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: pressure the hell out of Baker Mayfield. And I wrote

1835
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 1: this in a column Tuesday for Fox sports dot com.

1836
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: Obviously if you follow me on all the social media,

1837
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:05,560
Speaker 1: you saw this. The Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. Not

1838
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 1: only is he dinged up with the ribs, but under

1839
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:11,599
Speaker 1: pressure has been his weakness. Right first year, Odell Beckham,

1840
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: Uh not ode Beckham, sorry, Baker Mayfield was money in

1841
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:17,559
Speaker 1: the pocket set the record I think for quarterback touchdown

1842
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 1: passes with last year, what do they do well? We

1843
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 1: noticed a weakness if you pressure him and you force

1844
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:28,759
Speaker 1: him one way and then he performs terribly under pressure.

1845
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:32,720
Speaker 1: This year, Baker Mayfield's completing his passes and three of

1846
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: his four picks were under pressure, and now he's facing

1847
01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 1: the number one pressure defense in the league. I don't

1848
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: know how people are taking the Browns. I'm sorry. Alright.

1849
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 1: Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, maybe we'll

1850

1964
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 1: been it's been a year at least maybe two. Um.

1965
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm doing well. It's a pandemic, but we're

1966
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,200
Speaker 1: hanging in there. How about yourself, Oh, brother, hey man,

1967
01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:34,919
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Well, I'm a quarantine

1968
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 1: all star baby, you know what I'm saying. Like you

1969
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:39,600
Speaker 1: know me, I'm a silver line. He's guy. I've been

1970
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:41,640
Speaker 1: able to spend a lot of time at home, and

1971
01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think I can honestly say, for the

1972
01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:45,200
Speaker 1: first time in my life, I've been able to be

1973
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 1: a full time dad, right, not jumping on a plane

1974
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,599
Speaker 1: every four or five days. So for me, my man, bro,

1975
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: I've been loving this time. It's been major family time.

1976
01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:55,720
Speaker 1: And I also think a lot of people, at least

1977
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: for myself, kind of you know, reset yourself, you know,

1978
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:00,559
Speaker 1: really kind of find out what's important in your life.

1979
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 1: And I've been able to do that. It's been great.

1980
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 1: Nick Swisher, smart guy. Now is your wife? I know

1981
01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:08,160
Speaker 1: she's a big time actress. Is she filming stuff? So

1982
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 1: that you being Dad's solo or is she no? No, well,

1983
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:15,520
Speaker 1: well she just got a season two of Sweet Magnolias,

1984
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: which is amazing, and so they actually pushed back the

1985
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 1: filming day. They won't start filming I think until March

1986
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:24,360
Speaker 1: because they didn't want to film during the winter, which

1987
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 1: I get it right. I mean winter is kind of

1988
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:29,760
Speaker 1: for like Hallmark movies and things like that. So it's nice,

1989
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 1: all right, Bro, I don't want to be going to

1990
01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta in the wintertime. Bro, I want to say I

1991
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 1: wanted to warm up around there, you know, seriously? Yeah, alright,

1992
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 1: So pretty interesting series here happening the Raise Astros, I mean, Nick,

1993
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I'm here in conspiracy theories that

1994
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball wants no part of the Raise

1995
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 1: in the World Series and and they're gonna do everything

1996
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 1: in their power to get the Astros there because everybody

1997
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:54,559
Speaker 1: hates the Astros. I don't know any thoughts on how

1998
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:58,559
Speaker 1: the hell of this series turned around? Oh man, quick, right,

1999
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: I got two words for you, Carlos Correa. I'm telling you, man,

2000
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 1: it's funny because like I even did a little you know,

2001
01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:07,320
Speaker 1: I've been doing my six second recaps and I even

2002
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: said last night, I was just like, what makes this

2003
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 1: Astro's team so frustrating is that it takes me back

2004
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:15,880
Speaker 1: anytime I think of the Houston Astros, I think of

2005
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: the cheating scandal. But at the end of the day,

2006
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: this team has talent. This team has everything that they

2007
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:23,839
Speaker 1: need to win a World Series. So in my opinion,

2008
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:27,680
Speaker 1: this makes that cheating scandal so frustrating because after you

2009
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 1: watch this team play at the highest level like they

2010
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:32,920
Speaker 1: have been for the last three games, they didn't need

2011
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: to cheat. They had all the talent in the world

2012
01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 1: and they still went and did what they did. So

2013
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 1: I just think for me, man, for them to show

2014
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 1: the world exactly what they have is you know, it's

2015
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: impressive to me because I think that they've gone through

2016
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 1: so much on and off the field and to be

2017
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,840
Speaker 1: in this position fighting to get, you know, one game

2018
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: away from going to the World Series. Man, I I

2019
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:56,240
Speaker 1: think for the Houston Astro fans, I mean you have

2020
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: to be extremely proud of them. I mean, I think

2021
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:01,759
Speaker 1: everybody wants to see that Houston Astros Los Angeles Dodger rematch.

2022
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:04,640
Speaker 1: For yeah, definitely, all right, But we're talking about Nick

2023
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 1: Swisher MLB legend. Uh Nick You've been in in plenty

2024
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:12,960
Speaker 1: of baseball wars here, how do you do I mean,

2025
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 1: can you give an edge to the Astros having won

2026
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 1: three in a row? And is it who's the pressure

2027
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:20,280
Speaker 1: on here? Is it on the race? Oh? Yeah, I

2028
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 1: definitely think it's on the race for sure. There's no doubt.

2029
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 1: There's only been one other team in the history baseball

2030
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 1: that has even caused a game seven after being down three.

2031
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 1: Oh and that was a two thousand at four Boston

2032
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 1: Red Sox, and they went on to win the World Series.

2033
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 1: And everybody remembers through the Boston Red Sox beat in

2034
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 1: that four game set right in New York Yankees. Everybody

2035
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 1: remembers that. So I think what's happening is, yes, I

2036
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:43,040
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of you know, obviously, there's a

2037
01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:44,559
Speaker 1: lot of talk and there's a lot, like you're saying,

2038
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories around the Houston Astros in the whole nine,

2039
01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 1: But I think right now, I mean, listen, the Tampa

2040
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 1: Bay Rays have been the number one seed in baseball

2041
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:54,639
Speaker 1: since the season began, right They've they got that stable

2042
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 1: full of nights down there throwing you know, ninety eight

2043
01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:59,720
Speaker 1: miles an hour, all of them, and for them if

2044
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 1: this would be a this is a total collapse, if

2045
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 1: the if the Tampa Bay Rays can't pull today's win off,

2046
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,160
Speaker 1: and also to you got to think about it. These

2047
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:11,040
Speaker 1: guys have gone through so much, right they they they've

2048
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:13,799
Speaker 1: got up, they sacrifice things, they've been away from their families.

2049
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:15,800
Speaker 1: They've been able to give us live sports, which has

2050
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 1: been absolutely amazing. But at the end of the day,

2051
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 1: somebody's going to get their name on that trophy this year,

2052
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:24,080
Speaker 1: and I think obviously everybody's going for that. This would

2053
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 1: be a major disappointment in my mind movie forward for

2054
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays organization if they can't pull this

2055
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 1: win off, for sure, no doubt. But so let me

2056
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: ask you this, Like we all know everybody says that

2057
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:37,759
Speaker 1: the Astros World Series is tainted because of the cheating.

2058
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:40,000
Speaker 1: What if they are able to pull this off and

2059
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 1: win the World Series this year, are they off the

2060
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: hook for the cheating? Look we won with the cheating

2061
01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:47,479
Speaker 1: and now we want without it, you know, Like, oh,

2062
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 1: no doubt? I mean, bro, that would make me shut

2063
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:52,640
Speaker 1: up for sure? Yeah about it? Right? I think that

2064
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,479
Speaker 1: would make a lot of people on the media side

2065
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 1: really kind of quiet. There. I guess their overall opinions

2066
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:01,560
Speaker 1: of the Houston Astros what they did, because at the

2067
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: end of the day, we know that they're not cheating

2068
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 1: this year, and if they go off and pull this

2069
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:08,520
Speaker 1: thing off, which by the way, is a likely possibility,

2070
01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 1: then I think that definitely is a huge one. Eighties.

2071
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:13,400
Speaker 1: But you've got to be able to have somebody in

2072
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 1: that locker room that could turn that momentum around. Right

2073
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,640
Speaker 1: Carlos Coorea came out in the playoffs popping off from

2074
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:21,680
Speaker 1: the get go. They were like and he at the

2075
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:23,400
Speaker 1: end of the day, he was like, Hey, jump on

2076
01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:26,200
Speaker 1: my back. I've got this. I'll take it on the chin.

2077
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: From the cheating. Ever since the cheating scandal came out,

2078
01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,800
Speaker 1: he has been in the forefront of doing the most

2079
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: talking out of anybody. For him to come up and

2080
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 1: show up the way he has in the postseason, man,

2081
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:40,719
Speaker 1: as much as I don't want to give him credit

2082
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:43,479
Speaker 1: because they're still kind of been time out for me,

2083
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 1: I think you have to the way you've been swinging

2084
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:48,599
Speaker 1: the bat, the adjustment that he has made at the plate,

2085
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 1: his hands are a little far further away from his body.

2086
01:49:51,600 --> 01:49:54,679
Speaker 1: He's given himself more room to work with and you're noticing,

2087
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 1: just like I'm noticing he's not missing anything. So if

2088
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 1: anybody misses in the middle part of the like, this

2089
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 1: guy's gonna do some damage on it. Uh. Nick Swisher,

2090
01:50:03,760 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 1: former MLB stories on Fox talking baseball all the time? Nick,

2091
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: where are you on Braves Dodgers today games? Uh? You know,

2092
01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 1: four thirty Eastern time on FS one. Walker Bueller going

2093
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:20,760
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. Any thoughts on whether they can pull off?

2094
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this come back would be spectacular, no, no doubt.

2095
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, well, you know, I think everybody's kind of,

2096
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, rooting for the Dodgers to kind of come back.

2097
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:30,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I think everybody kind of knows the stories

2098
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:32,800
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers and how they've been to the World

2099
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:35,680
Speaker 1: Series multiple times in a row, haven't quite exactly been

2100
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:38,639
Speaker 1: able to pull it off. Maybe some heartbreaking losses along

2101
01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 1: the way. You know, you've got Clayton Kershaw, the whole nine.

2102
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: But I think right now, with where they are, I mean,

2103
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the momentum is with them. I saw,

2104
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, last night, Corey Seeger is having one of

2105
01:50:49,920 --> 01:50:53,639
Speaker 1: amazing post seasons ever. Obviously for a Dodger, the best

2106
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 1: most rb I most home runs by a short stop

2107
01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 1: in baseball history in the you know, in a single season,

2108
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 1: in a single series. So I think with where they

2109
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:03,479
Speaker 1: are right now, they were saying like, you know, to

2110
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:05,920
Speaker 1: see you after the game last night. Wow, you know,

2111
01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 1: like you're the first Dodger to do this, You're the

2112
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:12,080
Speaker 1: first Dodger to do that, and his overall responses like yeah, yeah,

2113
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:14,640
Speaker 1: that yeah, that's cool, right, because I think they're just

2114
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:17,560
Speaker 1: they're they're they're in mission mode right now. They know

2115
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:19,840
Speaker 1: that they have some work to do if they want

2116
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: to get themselves in back in the World Series where

2117
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 1: they think they belong. Listen, I think a lot of

2118
01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 1: people have them in the World Series. I think it

2119
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,880
Speaker 1: would be a disappointment for them and also too, I

2120
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 1: think on the back end of it, if they don't

2121
01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 1: make it to the World Series, the Clayton Kershaw thing

2122
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 1: is just gonna blow up. Everybody feels like that's the

2123
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,640
Speaker 1: guy that they can go after in this season. And

2124
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 1: by the way, Clayton Kershaw bro he's got back spasm.

2125
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:44,639
Speaker 1: He fought himself to get back in that rotation. Obviously

2126
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: did not have the success that he would want to.

2127
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Man, Clayton Kershaw

2128
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:50,560
Speaker 1: is Hall of Famer in my mind, postseason or no

2129
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 1: post season. I just think it's, you know, obviously you

2130
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 1: want him to do well and you want him to

2131
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 1: get over that hump. For myself, back at oh nine,

2132
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to be in a line up

2133
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:03,680
Speaker 1: with somebody that had some postseason struggles Alex Rodriguez, and

2134
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:06,200
Speaker 1: absolutely broke the chains off right there in front of

2135
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:09,080
Speaker 1: our faces to be able to have obviously an extremely,

2136
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 1: uh a memorable post season. And obviously for Clayton Kershaw,

2137
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 1: you want that too. You want him to be able

2138
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 1: to have that success. You want him to be able

2139
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,320
Speaker 1: to have another opportunity to take them out and get

2140
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 1: his team to where they're going. But I think right now, man,

2141
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 1: there's just there's a lot of question marks. I think

2142
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: in the back end of the bullpen Kenley Jansen, I mean,

2143
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:27,599
Speaker 1: is he gonna be the closer if it's a high

2144
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: game coming down to the wire. You've got Grader Ale

2145
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:32,760
Speaker 1: doing his thing. Bias has struggled a little bit, So

2146
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 1: I think there's some things definitely going on. But if

2147
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:36,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers keeps swinging the bats the way that they

2148
01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 1: are that offense can mask any sort of pitching problems

2149
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 1: at all. The one thing that we need to look

2150
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 1: for tonight in the game is to make sure my man,

2151
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller has his tight pants on. From that, you know,

2152
01:52:48,760 --> 01:52:51,280
Speaker 1: he needs to have the skinny whites on. Bro. He

2153
01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:53,880
Speaker 1: needs to be ready, right because I remember when he

2154
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,880
Speaker 1: had his first start rocket that everybody was talking about that.

2155
01:52:57,200 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 1: I even shot him at text, like, man, walk Bro,

2156
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:02,759
Speaker 1: can you moving up things? Bro? Hey, that's his swag.

2157
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing. And if I'm a Los

2158
01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodger fan, I feel extremely confident putting somebody like

2159
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 1: Walker Bureller on the mount tonight. I get somebody as

2160
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:14,240
Speaker 1: awesome as Max Freed for the Braves and Nick Swisher

2161
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 1: part time comedian. All Right, Nick, I gotta get you

2162
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:17,960
Speaker 1: out of here with one question. I know you're a

2163
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:22,320
Speaker 1: passionate NFL fan being from Ohio. Um you're not a

2164
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:27,519
Speaker 1: Bengals fan, obviously. Um, go ahead, I'm saying I'm a

2165
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow fan. Bro. You do like it, yes, sir.

2166
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:32,840
Speaker 1: I like the swag. I like the way that he's

2167
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of kicking everything right in stride and at the

2168
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 1: end of the day. Man, he's a leader, and I

2169
01:53:37,280 --> 01:53:39,160
Speaker 1: talked more about it any times than not. We need

2170
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 1: more leaders in this world, and for him, Man, that's

2171
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 1: the guy that I would want to follow. But Brown

2172
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:46,360
Speaker 1: Steelers specifically, I wanted you to quickly any thoughts on

2173
01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 1: that big, big game this weekend in the NFL. I mean,

2174
01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 1: I feel like with everything is happening, you know, oh

2175
01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: b J is having a great season, you know, as

2176
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:57,280
Speaker 1: well as the Brown's offensive defensively, I think they could

2177
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,800
Speaker 1: they could work a little bit, no doubt about it.

2178
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 1: But then the steel curtain, Bro come on, Man, Roethlisberger's back.

2179
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:05,920
Speaker 1: They feel good about where they are, you know, defense

2180
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 1: obviously that's their trademarks, So I think what's where they are?

2181
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this is like a New York Yankee

2182
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox matchup in the football world, so everybody

2183
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:16,320
Speaker 1: wants to be watching that game. I'm so excited that

2184
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:18,600
Speaker 1: fans are starting to get back in the stands a

2185
01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:21,599
Speaker 1: little bit, which I think is amazing. And obviously, Bro,

2186
01:54:21,720 --> 01:54:23,519

2190
01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:35,840
Speaker 1: same thing. Man, these guys are sacrificing so much. I

2191
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:38,640
Speaker 1: think fans really need to realize that this isn't any

2192
01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:41,960
Speaker 1: this isn't just any regular year. There have been a

2252
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 1: with Melvin Gordon? Alvin Gordon apparently has strapped all right,

2253
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:57,840
Speaker 1: who knows this stuff? Man? So a couple of college

2254
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:01,800
Speaker 1: football quick notes. Auburn was rolling over South Carolina. Bo

2255
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:03,760
Speaker 1: Nicks just got picked in the game. Cocks are in

2256
01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:09,920
Speaker 1: the red zone. Tennessee has two pick sixes, or I

2257
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:12,400
Speaker 1: think two pick six is by the quarterback of Tennessee,

2258
01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:15,600
Speaker 1: Jared Guantana. MEA, I'm just saying that. I don't know

2259
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:20,920
Speaker 1: how to say his last name, Guantanamo. Yeah, I was

2260
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 1: just I was just joking around. Um, I think he's

2261
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:27,240
Speaker 1: done two pick sixes or the second No, yeah, they

2262
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 1: were both pick sixes. Yards. Hopefully you started Kentucky started

2263
01:58:33,880 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 1: Kentucky defense fantasy. Um, yeah, I don't know how you

2264
01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 1: can bring him back out. South Carolina is in the

2265
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 1: end zone. Clemsons Trevor Lawrence first pick of the season. Um,

2266
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:48,600
Speaker 1: that game has a lot of points. Is he over

2267
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:52,880
Speaker 1: like in the fifties maybe sixties because it's seventeen seven,

2268
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 1: But there's also been three turnovers already and it's just

2269
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,760
Speaker 1: defense is just optional in in college football this year.

2270
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 1: A little comical. The total on that game was trying

2271
01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:11,600
Speaker 1: to find it right now, Mimi Miami seven fifty nine

2272
01:59:11,680 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 1: and a half when it opened, it's currently sixty four

2273
01:59:14,920 --> 01:59:17,080
Speaker 1: and a half. W Oh my gosh, that did not

2274
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 1: just happen again. The Tennessee backup comes in and just

2275
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 1: got picked by Kentucky. Three interceptions by Tennessee in the

2276
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 1: first twenty one minutes of the game. Kentucky must be

2277
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:31,640
Speaker 1: good at this because they also had a pick pick

2278
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: six against Mississippi State. Dude, they brought in the backup

2279
01:59:35,120 --> 01:59:41,080
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's just so that's just interception two quarterbacks.

2280
01:59:41,720 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing. He's throwing into a crowd. Dude,

2281
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:45,520
Speaker 1: you come in the game, get the kid a simple

2282
01:59:45,520 --> 01:59:49,120
Speaker 1: pass in the flat. Goodness gracious. Um, all right, so

2283
01:59:49,240 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm winnowing down my picks. Um, what do you feel

2284
01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:56,640
Speaker 1: most confident in tomorrow? Yeah? I have Steelers is my

2285
01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:00,760
Speaker 1: number one bet Baltimore An Now it's minus seven in

2286
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:05,360
Speaker 1: the contest, so definitely my number one. Um, I'm struggling.

2287
02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:07,840
Speaker 1: I want to see if DJ Shark is playing. Yeah,

2288
02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:10,560
Speaker 1: I know he is playing. No, no, no, I agree

2289
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:13,400
Speaker 1: with you. And also Jacksonville is taking the off day

2290
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 1: because of some positive tests there and Detroit has major

2291
02:00:17,640 --> 02:00:21,360
Speaker 1: extra rest. Um, we'll see. Three and a half is

2292
02:00:21,400 --> 02:00:24,280
Speaker 1: a lot from Matt Patricia team. I just can't stand

2293
02:00:24,320 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: that guy. I want to take the Chiefs against the Bills.

2294
02:00:27,520 --> 02:00:29,880
Speaker 1: I want to take Tampa. I want to take the Colts.

2295
02:00:29,960 --> 02:00:33,240
Speaker 1: There was a practice squatter for Jacksonville that tested positive,

2296
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:36,800
Speaker 1: so they're taking precautions. It doesn't mean the game is postponed.

2297
02:00:37,280 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Tough for me to pull the trigger in Miami. We

2298
02:00:39,120 --> 02:00:43,080
Speaker 1: discussed it earlier. Can you back Ryan Fitzpatrick favored by

2299
02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:46,880
Speaker 1: nine against my dumpster fire Jets who may or may

2300
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:48,920
Speaker 1: not have quit? And then the Patriots. I really want

2301
02:00:48,960 --> 02:00:51,600
Speaker 1: to take them favor by ten because Bill Belichick with

2302
02:00:51,680 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 1: two weeks to prepare for Vic Fngio and Drew Lock,

2303
02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 1: it feels like just an absolute and utter destruction. Come

2304
02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:03,840
Speaker 1: up next, it's Hartman and Coatino Mobley. UM. I guess

2305
02:01:03,840 --> 02:01:06,600
Speaker 1: they'll put a bow in the NBA season. Do a

2306
02:01:06,640 --> 02:01:11,000
Speaker 1: lot of college football? Um, we haven't dove into the

2307
02:01:11,160 --> 02:01:14,200
Speaker 1: TV ratings for the sports. I don't know. It feels

2308
02:01:14,240 --> 02:01:17,680
Speaker 1: a little oh, look at that played by Clemson. Oh

2309
02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:21,560
Speaker 1: my gosh, Trevor Lawrence read option and the tight ends

2310
02:01:21,600 --> 02:01:26,360
Speaker 1: wide open. Nobody within fifteen yards Clemson Tigers seven. Uh,

2311
02:01:26,720 --> 02:01:28,520
Speaker 1: I wonder the only question in this game, Gavin, is

2312
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:30,920
Speaker 1: when do you pull Trevor Lawrence after two quarters of three?

2313
02:01:31,720 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Step on the throat. That's what I do. Dabo coaching

2314
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:41,120
Speaker 1: Texans next year, amazingly. Oh, that's interesting, Trevor Lawrence does

2315
02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:43,000
Speaker 1: not have a Heisman Trophy yet. All right, guys, thanks,

2316
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:48,040
Speaker 1: I WA Sam, Chris, Gavin, uh Isaac Lowan Crown with
