Speaker 2: Time, right yeah maybe yeah, Like all right, so let's

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: dive in. We'll get to the hoops and all that

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: good stuff here. Huge game Bama hosting Auburn will break

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: that one down.

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 3: For sure, and some other of the the goodies.

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: But we got to start with the Super Bowl, man,

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: because that was the last show we did leading up

50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: to the game. And wow, wow, who expected that game

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: to go the way it did. I don't know anyone,

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: anybody I heard taking Philly was still like last second

53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: field goal, you know, it's like by just the slimmest

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: of margins, and you look up and the Eagles had

55
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: twenty four points at halftime and the Chiefs had fourteen yards.

56
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: If you would have told me that's what would happen,

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: I'd be like, you don't know football at all.

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: There's just no way, And that's exactly what happened.

59
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm shocked that Mahomes looked drunk in the

60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: first half, Shocked that the Chiefs were as just sloppy

61
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: as they were beating themselves. And hats off to Philly men.

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: They were dominant, especially in that first half. That was

63
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: crazy to me.

64
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 6: There was no answer to the problems that the Eagles

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 6: were posing the Kansas City Chiefs, which was basically upfront

66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 6: on the defensive line. Our guys are better than your guys,

67
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 6: prove us wrong. And throughout the course of the entire game.

68
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 6: The Chiefs did not make the adjustments in their pass

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 6: protection to give Mahomes enough time to operate.

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: And there are ways to mitigate.

71
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 6: A great defensive line, and for whatever reason, the Chiefs

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: didn't make those adjustments. Certainly not soon enough, but not

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 6: with any sort of effectiveness they were getting. And when

74
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 6: I say they the tight ends, the offensive lineman, the

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 6: running backs were involved in the past protection scheme against

76
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 6: what ultimately was a four sometimes three man rush of

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 6: the Philadelphia Eagles.

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 5: They were getting home.

79
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 6: Almost every single passing play, somebody was putting a hand

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 6: on Mahomes.

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 5: Mahomes was running for his life.

82
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 6: He was trying to get the ball out of his

83
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 6: hands as quickly as possible, causing turnovers. They didn't have

84
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 6: an answer to that problem, and as a result, they

85
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 6: lost the game in hideous fashion.

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if there was going to be a

87
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: blowout in the game, I think we actually discussed it.

88
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 7: It made more sense on the Eagle side. Yeah, because

89
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 7: of just the way that the Chiefs had played this year.

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 7: I don't think they blowed out anyone this year. They

91
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 7: It's just not there. This is not their style.

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 4: The irony is if you actually Now I know this

93
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 4: sounds crazy, but the Chiefs actually won a decent portion

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: of the box score.

95
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 7: They won yards per play, they won the success rate.

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 7: What did they not win? Turnovers and penalties?

97
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: And did they win first downs? Tell me they won

98
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: first downs?

99
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 5: Oh?

100
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 7: They the Chiefs did not win first out.

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: I thought there was an accounting era that error.

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that was one of the bigger bets I

103
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 4: made in the game. But the turnover battle was so

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 4: unique because it was like it was like Mahomes was

105
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: almost drunk, and my cousin, who's a big you know,

106
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: football He's like, did he get concussed? And I was like, well,

107
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: I didn't even think about that, because he did kind

108
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: of take a big hit early in the game, and

109
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 4: a couple of the throws later in the game were

110
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 4: just so anti Mahomes, like like, you know, the one

111
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 4: to the gene on the pick six was like it

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 4: was like he was right there, Like how do you

113
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: not see him?

114
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 7: And you just have to.

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: Tip your captains, like there's really nothing more to in

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: the game other than Philly bludgeon them. And and at

117
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: some point Kansas City, I think realized this probably wasn't

118
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: going to be our night, and then they got a

119
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: little bit desperate. Mahomes probably got a little bit desperate,

120
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 4: a little bit you know, trigger happy with some of

121
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: the throws, and he was under drest the entire night.

122
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: And and it goes back to two Super Bowls that

123
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: I can recall.

124
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 7: The first one was that first Patriots Giants one where.

125
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 4: It was just the front four, you minor and straight

126
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: hand talking, and it was just it was it was complete,

127
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: you know, chaos for Brady in that game. And then

128
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 4: the second one, the other Brady one, where he just

129
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: got completely pummeled by the Bucks defensive line or excuse me,

130
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: when when the Bucks beat the Chiefs the first game

131
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: that Mahomes had a chance and kind of looked bad

132
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl. So now this is two really

133
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 4: ugly Super Bowl performances for Patrick Mahomes. And yeah, you

134
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: just got to credit the front four and the offensive line.

135
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 4: And that's why the trench warfare is a big deal

136
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: in this sport, especially in a one game roll of

137
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: the dice.

138
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and that was the thing, the pick six.

139
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: It was ten to nothing at that point and Mahomes

140
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: was acting like these are the last this is the

141
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: last two minutes of the game and he's got to

142
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: make something happen. It's go for broke time. It's like,

143
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: it's still the first half. You know, if you have

144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: to punt, not the end of the world. He just

145
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: forced one and that did not work out whatsoever. Many

146
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: they could not have looked worse. He could not have

147
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: looked worse in that first half and the third and three.

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: Early in the game, Kelsey's wide open and the balls

149
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: thrown at his feet.

150
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, who is this guy?

151
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Did you remember the commercial where Tom Brady like fell

152
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: asleep and they had to replace the batteries in his forearm. Yeah,

153
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: that was mahomes mahomes like and they never replaced his batteries.

154
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: That was his performance. And it's funny because we are

155
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: on the same page mostly Jared. Where the two Super

156
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: Bowls that I thought of immediately? It was the prash

157
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: in Super Bowl forty two that the Giants got on

158
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and the Patriots.

159
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: Remember that was before the game. Plexico Burus was like, yeah, I.

160
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: Think we're gonna win twenty three seventeen, and Tom Brady's like,

161
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: We're only gonna score seventeen points.

162
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: They scored fourteen.

163
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: You know, like the pressure had a huge impact on

164
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: that game. And the other one was Super Bowl fifty

165
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: five compared to this last one where Mahomes was just

166
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: under duress. The thing was, Mahomes played great against Tampa.

167
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: He had Mike Evans miked up on the sideline. He's like,

168
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: this guy keeps making place. He's throwing like dimes on

169
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: the run falling down. He individually played great. So that's

170
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: the thing. Mahomes has faced pressure before, he's faced pass rushes,

171
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: he's gotten knocked around before, and he's played great.

172
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: He was freaking terrible last.

173
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: Sunday against Philly Man he had no answers and that's

174
00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: shocking to me.

175
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: He's a special quarterback, he is.

176
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: And it was shocking.

177
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 6: And I'll say this about any quarterback when you are

178
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 6: faced with as much pressure as he was faced with

179
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 6: in that game, and the team can still the team

180
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 6: you're facing can still drop eight defenders and seven defenders

181
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 6: and they're not manufacturing that pressure by adding rushers. What

182
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 6: happens is when you throw to those zones that are

183
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 6: typically open, because when you're rushing five, that means you're

184
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 6: dropping six, and when you drop six into coverage, you

185
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 6: have less people to cover more field. But when you

186
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 6: can drop seven, when you can drop eight, all of

187
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 6: a sudden, guys are in spots that you're not expecting

188
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: them to be, especially when you're simulating pressure, which is

189
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: something that Vic Fangio I tip my cap to him.

190
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 6: There was some confusion. There were times where based on

191
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 6: the pre snap alignment, it looked like the Philadelphia Eagles

192
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 6: were rushing five and six defenders, and all of a sudden,

193
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 6: Mahomes felt pressure.

194
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 5: So his assumption in times was, oh, they must be

195
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 5: rushing five.

196
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 6: I know who I'm hot with, which means the receiver

197
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 6: who he throws to.

198
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: If there's a free rusher off of this side, I

199
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 5: know where to go with the ball.

200
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 6: Well, the problem was based on the protection rules, the

201
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 6: offensive line protection rules. There was a free rusher sometimes,

202
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: but the Eagles were only rushing four guys. So you

203
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 6: have seven, you have seven zone droppers. You have safeties

204
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 6: sometimes three of them with their backs to the goalposts

205
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 6: staring down Mahomes. And on that Cooper dejen interception, I mean,

206
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 6: it couldn't have been more easy for him because he

207
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 6: paid attention to his drop depth, he kept his eyes

208
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 6: on Mahomes. He realized he was under pressure, and he

209
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 6: jumped route that he's not supposed to jump in that situation,

210
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 6: but he knew where he was going with.

211
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: The football because he had nowhere else to go.

212
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 6: When you force good quarterbacks into being predictable, they look

213
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 6: like bad quarterbacks. And that's what vic Fan and Joe's

214
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 6: defense did all night long against Patrick Mahomes.

215
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was not It wasn't a great game plan.

216
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: It wasn't a great change up, like there was no

217
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: run game. It was it was a very I don't

218
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: want to say boring game, but there was really not

219
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: a lot of intrigue after the first half. Like you

220
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: just you thought maybe there was a glimmer, like a

221
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 4: door creaked open for Mahomes at one point to make

222
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: some kind of insane comeback, But there was really no

223
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 4: moment in the second half either where that gained any

224
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: momentum like they had like the Xavier Worthy touchdown, like

225
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: they had a couple of moments in the game, but

226
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: there was no real momentum towards the comeback. I mean

227
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 4: it was the field was tilted in one direction the

228
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: entire night, and you tip your cap toove Philly and

229
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: and now we you know, hear all the fallout right

230
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: coming into the game. It was the three peat, now

231
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 4: it was now it's the fallout because now it's kind

232
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: of funny how the pendulum in our sports media society

233
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: just swings like the Chiefs were this jugger. Now people

234
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: were lining up in droves to bet the Chiefs because

235
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,359
Speaker 4: they thought a the game was rigged and be Mahomes

236
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: is god. Now it's like the Chiefs are terrible. Get

237
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: them out, throw the baby out with.

238
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 7: The back ward like it's so crazy. In a minute,

239
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 7: it switches.

240
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 3: It's such an overreaction. It's ridiculous.

241
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: Man.

242
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: Like we'll get to that a little bit later in

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: the show because I would like to rant, Oh I

244
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 2: love please.

245
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 4: Rant for both of us, because that's it's insane. You

246
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 4: would think Mahomes was like like a sub B prime player.

247
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 7: Now I know he's done. It's over.

248
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: It's turned into like, ah, they're the Texans maybe.

249
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: Going forward, the Jets.

250
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: Come on, it's the Chiefs, it's Mahomes, it's Andy Reid.

251
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: Like they're not gonna be what seven and ten team

252
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: next season? Like they're gonna be a problem consistently. Yeah,

253
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: they've got to upgrade and retool in some areas, but

254
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: I thought I just put a bow on the on

255
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: this too.

256
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: So far.

257
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: Is what you're saying, Rich, is that's when you see

258
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: a defense really working together, meaning the pass rush helping

259
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: out the secondary, the secondary helping out the pass rush.

260
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: They're just cooking with grease.

261
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: Because if you think about it, if you look at

262
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: the Eagles corners, they have some good corners. You know,

263
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: Quinyon Mitchell had a really good rookie season, Cooper Dejen

264
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: really good rookie season. You got Darius big Play Sleigh

265
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: out there, and they're like, what chiefs receivers are.

266
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: Gonna beat us? Exactly?

267
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: You know, we don't need to double anybody. And then

268
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: the pass rush with the front four was getting home.

269
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: You're just there were no answers right there, none, And

270
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: that's why we got the beatdown we got. It makes

271
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: sense after the fact, you can explain it. But going

272
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: into the game, if somebody had told you, hey, here's

273
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen, but bob ba, bob, but bob Abo,

274
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: you'd be like, you're out of your freaking mind, right,

305
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: for the second year in a row, there was an

306
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: epic comeback in Rapid Fire and an epic choke job

307
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: in Rapid Fire. And unfortunately I was on the good

308
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: end last year. I was on the wrong end this

309
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: year because I had rich you and I had a

310
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: lead on Jared so large you needed binoculars to look

311
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: back and be like, what is it? I swear that's

312
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: like a rock on the sidewalk, But no, that's Jared.

313
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: Jared's all the way back. He came all the way

314
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: back and caught me.

315
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: The last two weeks, we make three picks leading up

316
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, and well, I made two college

317
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: basketball picks at one one lost because of a three

318
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: pointer at the buzzer. My team was up by six

319
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: Michigan was up six at Rutgers and they were minus

320
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: five and a half. Here comes Rutgers three in your face.

321
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: And that led to Jared catching me by half a point,

322
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: and so I had.

323
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: This epic collapse.

324
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Jared was six and oh, shout out to him the

325
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: last two weeks, and he caught me by half a point.

326
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: And so I have to do the uh, I have

327
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: to do the Will Levis with the mayo and the coffee.

328
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 5: Horrible news, unfortunate. Whenever you plan on doing that, I'll

329
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 5: be right there next to you.

330
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got years of back block mayo.

331
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: We'll do it.

332
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: I was gonna do it today. I was gonna pay

333
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 3: it off.

334
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 7: To get it over with. That's why I like you

335
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 7: get it over with.

336
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 3: Well, we'll plan on next week, Rich, We'll do fantastic. Yeah.

337
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 4: Can we get a little round of applause by the

338
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 4: by the crew and everyone.

339
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 7: What's that the you know sound effect for the six

340
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: six and oh? Super Bowls? Pretty good? That's pretty good.

341
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 5: That's pretty good.

342
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: After a terrible year by your boy gambling on these college.

343
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: Games and it's like all these you won, you got

344
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: these pretty comfortably. Where your six picks you had Johan

345
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: Dotson to have a receiving yard did more.

346
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: Than a couple of nice catches in that game.

347
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: How about that first touchdown co seventy five to one

348
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 4: for first touchdown.

349
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: They got really robbed so close, right, Can you imagine

350
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: doing Wood's fist pumps thinking you hit your seventy five.

351
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 4: To one new one was thinking that, let's review that

352
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 4: down and then the old push push.

353
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, uh but yeah, Jared killed it.

354
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: I I did not.

355
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: The funny one one of the Super Bowl bets that

356
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: was close was Mahomes over thirty five and a half

357
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: passing attempts, and gamescript wise, it couldn't have played out better.

358
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't not get there.

359
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: They're getting crushed in the first half and so it's

360
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: just gonna be pass past past past pass in the

361
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: second half. And the funny thing was they got the

362
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: ball back around midfield late and instead of kind of

363
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 2: like dinking and dunking down the field, he threw the

364
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: bomb to Xavier Worthy. It was a one play drive

365
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: and he ended with thirty two passing attempts.

366
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: I needed four more, which we were We were close, man,

367
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 3: before halftime.

368
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: If that completion of DeAndre Hopkins occurs right, He's wide open,

369
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: nobody is around him, and it wasn't a great throw.

370
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: It was certainly not a great catch.

371
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: Tripped over himself. If that ball is completed, we might

372
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 3: have gotten there.

373
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: It's crazy that these props come down to stuff like that,

374
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: where it literally could go one direction or the other

375
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: based on one little play.

376
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 7: It's crazy.

377
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 5: Right here.

378
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 6: On Fox Sports Radio the Sunday Show, we had an

379
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 6: extended show leading up to Super Bowl fifty nine, and

380
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 6: right before we got off the air for the.

381
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 5: First touchdown scorer Steve Hartman, he asked me.

382
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 6: He was like, look, I just got a text from

383
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 6: my kids and my ex wife. They want to know

384
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 6: who's scoring the first cutch sound.

385
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 4: He's like, I don't know any alimony with the first touchdown, Beton.

386
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 6: And so he asked me, and I go, look, it's

387
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 6: gonna be Jaellen Hurts with a toush push. I was like,

388
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 6: book it call yeah, And all of a sudden, I'm like, well,

389
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 6: I guess I was wrong. That was a nice grab.

390
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden they're like, ooh, he's

391
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 6: down by this much. I'm like, oh my goodness. I

392
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 6: was like, toush push activated.

393
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 5: I love it. It's amazing though, and it's amazing.

394
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 6: Look when you have a play that automatic, I mean,

395
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 6: credit to the Eagles for making the transition from Kelsey

396
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 6: to oh I'm blanking on his name now, but the

397
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 6: backup center to Kelsey last year.

398
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: Who's become the starter this year? Juriggons, thank you.

399
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jurgens, Cam Jurgens and Jalen Hurts are on the

400
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 6: same page. That play is just as effective this year

401
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 6: as it was last year. And so I mean the Eagles,

402
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 6: they just have an automatic one or sometimes two yards

403
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 6: in their pocket whenever they need it. That makes games

404
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 6: really really difficult to defend when you're playing against them.

405
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think in our recap of the Super

406
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 4: Bowl in our first segment there you know a lot

407
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: of obvious negative to Kansas City, and there needs to be.

408
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 4: I mean, they did not play their best game. But

409
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 4: you know now that we can kind of zoom out

410
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 4: a little bit what Howie Roseman's done and what the

411
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: Eagles were able to construct. I mean that roster is

412
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: just insane, Like it is an absurd roster. What they've

413
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 4: been able to do the way that they I don't

414
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: want to say they're cheating, but like the manipulation of

415
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: the salary cap with how they kind of extend contracts

416
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: and kind of make things a little bit more palatable

417
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 4: to bring in some of these star players on you know,

418
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: unique deals. I don't even know how it works half

419
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: the time, but Howie Roseman figured out a way to

420
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 4: kind of get all of these pieces together. And the

421
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 4: trenches are just insane, like the fact that Philly can

422
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 4: just continue to own the line of scrimmage with what

423
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: they're able to do defensively. And then of course the

424
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 4: tush push and the offensive line which is just in

425
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: like my Lotta and and and Johnson, like they're just

426
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 4: ridiculously athletic tackles. And I don't know if they're gonna

427
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 4: to keep all these guys together. But Howie Roseman, he

428
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 4: heard he took a little knock yesterday on the head

429
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 4: during the parade.

430
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: I hope he's okay, Ali, I hope all right, But.

431
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 7: I don't go to the hospital the stitches or something.

432
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: But just you know, tip of the cap to him,

433
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: because that roster physically dominated the football game, and I

434
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 4: think all year long they were two and two.

435
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 7: They were a two and two football team.

436
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 4: They were going through some iss with Fangio and the defense,

437
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 4: getting that defense to kind of come together.

438
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 7: But man, did they really turn it on.

439
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 4: And it was It's a testament to everyone in that

440
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: front office and you know, the you know, the staff

441
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 4: that that that scouts, the personnel. I mean, they really

442
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 4: are doing it at a different level right now with

443
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: their with their with their front office.

444
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 3: It's officially a Philly party.

445
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: If the GM gets smacked in the forehead by a beer,

446
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: can you know, it's awesome.

447
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he took one for the team right there.

448
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: And that's the last thing I'll say real quick and

449
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: we'll get to the college hoops is. It blows my

450
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: mind that Philly was that dominant and Saquon Barkley didn't

451
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: do that much at all. Think about that right Like

452
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: he was bottled up running the ball. He had a

453
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: nice catch down the sideline near the goal line. He

454
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: made his presence known in the passing game a bit,

455
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 2: but he's under sixty yards rushing. The Chiefs take that

456
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 2: all day, you know, and the Chiefs were still nowhere close.

457
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: That's that's wild. It played out that way. Let's get

458
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: to this. It reminds me of college football. You know,

459
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: you'll notice a consistent theme as we transition more to

460
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: like basketball season, football finds its way in somehow, some way. Right,

461
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: we've got number one Auburn against number two Alabama. It

462
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: reminds me of the old school nineteen ninety three Game

463
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: of the Century, right, Florida State against Notre Dame, number

464
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: one versus number two?

465
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: Does that not remind you of this?

466
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: Huh one versus Maybe it's just me, I don't know,

467
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: But how about these offenses here?

468
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 3: You've got the number one and number.

469
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: Two teams in offensive efficiency and eighty points scored in

470
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: college hoops? Pretty good. Auburn has done it eighteen times

471
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: this season. Alabama has done it twenty one times this

472
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: season where they've cracked eighty. That's the best in Division One.

473
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: And look, man, I expect a lot of points today.

474
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that total hasn't moved a whole lot. It

475
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: is high, man, it's what one seventy one and a half?

476
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: One seventy two and a half, And by I expect

477
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 2: points here. I don't know if the rest of the

478
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: betting community is. But what do you guys see? Initially,

479
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: Rich will start with you. It's one seventy two and

480
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: a half at bet MGM. Yeah, give me the over.

481
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: This is going to be a track meet.

482
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 6: These are two teams that can run the floor extremely well,

483
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 6: high tempo teams, great offenses obviously just mentioned. I mean

484
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 6: kem Palm has them one and two, and I think

485
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 6: Alabama's interior defense, you know, their rim protector may force

486
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 6: this game into the perimeter a little bit, which Auburn

487
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 6: would be happy to oblige. I mean, they're devastating from perimeter,

488
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 6: and it could it could be one of those games

489
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 6: where it's a race to one hundred, you know what

490
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 6: I mean, which whichever one of these two teams eclipses

491
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 6: triple digits first is going to be the one that

492
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 6: takes home the win.

493
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 5: Plus NATO's Brute Pearl.

494
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 6: They face each other six times, four of those games

495
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 6: hit overs hit, so I mean that's that's a part

496
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 6: of this too. These these are these are coaches who

497
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 6: have devised game plans and teams and rosters that have

498
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 6: benefited the over in the past. So I think it's

499
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 6: gonna soar past that number.

500
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

501
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 4: The two keys in this game one Bama limiting turnovers

502
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 4: that's been there Bugaboo this.

503
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 7: Year, very helter skelter team.

504
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 4: When they're on they are elite, but they can get

505
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 4: a little sloppy with the basketball. Auburn is a good

506
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: defensive team. They has size, so I think that's a

507
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 4: key to the game. And and Rich nailed it, like the

508
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 4: Auburn shooters are gonna get open looked because you would imagine,

509
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: and we'll see how Natos plays it, but you would

510
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 4: imagine the game plan is crash the glass, do not

511
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 4: allow Broom to be.

512
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 7: A dominant for us, which he is.

513
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: He might be the best player in college basketball this year,

514
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 4: which means is gonna be a lot of open threes, right,

515
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: a lot of kickouts. You got Denver Jones, Miles Kelly,

516
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: Cheney Johnson, those are the three shooters for Auburn that

517
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: if they can step up right and this is not

518
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: an easy environment. You're on the road in the sec

519
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: raucus one versus two, So can you make those shots?

520
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 4: They will be open shots. That's actually been the issue

521
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 4: for Auburn this year. They're a good scoring team, but

522
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 4: they're not a great shooting team straight up outside the

523
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 4: top fifty and open three rate this year, So when

524
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 4: they get open threes, they don't make them, and I

525
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 4: think that's going to be, to me, the biggest key

526
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 4: in this game, because I do think the Bama defense

527
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 4: will crash. Bama has bodies they can throw at Broom.

528
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: You got Diabate six to seven, he can guard all

529
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: five spots. You got the Omiyori, who's the Rutgers transfer

530
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: who is an absolute monster.

531
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 7: I don't know if Grant Nelson's that guy.

532
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: He's a little more wiry, but that's another body that

533
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: will see how Nato to utilizes them.

534
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 7: Auburn is a very experienced team, the oldest team in

535
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 7: the SEC.

536
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: They've got twenty four to twenty five year old men

537
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: on this roster, so I don't expect them to be

538
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 4: afraid of the moment. But again, that SEC environment is different,

539
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: and you do have the return matchup coming up.

540
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: Final game of.

541
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 4: The regular season at Auburn and BAMA schedule over the

542
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 4: next two weeks is like ridiculous. They have the toughest

543
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 4: schedule in college basketball down the stretch. The SEC is

544
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: a behemoth, so I think BAM at home gets it done.

545
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 4: But this is a toss up game. If Auburn makes

546
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: their threes and forces some turnovers.

547
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 7: I think they will.

548
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 4: They will win, but I think Auburn won't make as

549
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 4: many open shots because Bama does have the home the

550
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 4: home core.

551
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious about that because look, man, Auburn's offense.

552
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: It's funny, right, I think Alabama gets way more credit

553
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: offensively than Auburn does, even though they're pretty close.

554
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: You remember the old sky I don't know if they

555
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 3: write them anymore.

556
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 2: On your like side mirrors where it's like objects are

557
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: closer than they appear.

558
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 3: Like they should still write that, shouldn't they They should

559
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: just have.

560
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 4: The stuff on the line been replaced by the little

561
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: you know, yellow triangle where like someone's in your blind

562
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 4: spot right now.

563
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: But it used to say that, like objects.

564
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: Are closer in your mirror than they appear, and or

565
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: something like that. And I think that Auburn is closer

566
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 2: offensively to Alabama's offense. Then they get credit for Auburn

567
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: as a really really good offense. And I hear you, Jared,

568
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: it's can they knock down threes? Especially when they get

569
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 2: open looks? I think it's it's sometimes demoralizing, especially in

570
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: college hoops, where you move the ball well, you set

571
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: up a wide open three point shot and sometimes it's

572
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: nowhere close, you know what I mean. Like, so that's

573
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: gonna be a test today for Auburn. I'm curious if

574
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: they can knock down threes in general, but especially open threes,

575
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: and they're gonna get a lot of good.

576
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: Quality just open threes.

577
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: You're warming up in the gym by yourself basically, you know,

578
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: can you hit those consistently? And that's gonna be a

579
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: big part of the game because, hey man, you can

580
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: talk to me about defense wins championships all you want,

581
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: but in a game like this, you gotta put up

582
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: some points or you're gonna lose, right like no.

583
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 6: Doubt, There's no doubt, And Auburn hitting those threes is

584
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 6: gonna be important because, as Jared mentioned, Johnny Broom in

585
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 6: the paint has been electric to start the season, Player

586
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 6: of the year's stuff. However, after the mid January ankle

587
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 6: injury when he came back, he hasn't been as effective

588
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 6: hitting those two pointers that he really started to gain

589
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 6: national acclaim for. So if it does become that type

590
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 6: of game where Alabama's defenders are starting to sneak out

591
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 6: toward the three point line, they need to be able

592
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 6: to rely on Broom to be more effective than he

593
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 6: has been in the very recent past. But look, these

594
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 6: are huge games, a huge road game. It's a rivalry game.

595
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 6: You know, whatever it is, ankle, knee, you just the

596
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 6: pain fades for the hour and a half you're on

597
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 6: the court for He's an electric player.

598
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 5: I think he gets the job done.

599
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 6: But that's gonna be a key to If he looks

600
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 6: like he's limping or hobbling at all, or if he

601
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 6: rolls that ankle again, it could be.

602
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 5: A problem for Auburn.

603
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 4: And that's why I think Bama's going to be very

604
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: physical and force him to give it up. Like I

605
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 4: think they are going to throw bodies at him consistently,

606
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 4: and Bama has a deep enough roster to do it.

607
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 4: That's why I think I like Bama in the game

608
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 4: is because I think they just have one or two extra.

609
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 7: Game like this. Again, it's a coin flip game.

610
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 4: The numbers moved a little bit, but it's essentially Bama's

611
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 4: getting there.

612
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 7: Two to two three points for being at home, and

613
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 7: this is a coin flip game.

614
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 4: I actually think the fact that it's under three tells

615
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: me that on a neutral Auburn probably would be favored,

616
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: and I think that makes sense because I do think

617
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: Auburn is a little bit more consistent. But the one

618
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 4: thing I've noticed, not only this year but recently, the

619
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 4: home atmospheres in these high major gyms are just absurd.

620
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 4: They are frenzied, and I think that makes the difference

621
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: in this game because there's not a lot separating these

622
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: two teams. I think the two things that separates a

623
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 4: the home atmosphere and be the fact that Auburn still

624
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: has the home game left at the end of the year.

625
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 4: So if this does get a little like if, for example,

626
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 4: if Broom does get a little gimpy, hey we've got

627
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 4: a lot of you know, runway left in the year.

628
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: So I do think Bama is just a nose in

629
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: front in this game. I think I'll betting them at

630
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: one and a half.

631
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy is two thoughts this matchup today,

632
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: Auburn at Alabama. It does remind me a bit earlier

633
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: in the season where it was Bama at Kentucky and

634
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: it was just a track meet that whole game, especially

635
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: the first half. But there was a healthy stretch of

636
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: that first half where neither team was hitting threes and

637
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: it's still soared way over like I remember, because it

638
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: was just the pace and they hit enough threes where

639
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: it went over the first half total. And maybe you

640
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: see something similar in the matchup tonight, where especially early

641
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: on first half, maybe you're not hitting threes at a

642
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: great rate, but just the pace and the overall scoring,

643
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: you're still seeing a healthy amount of scoring. And Jared,

644
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: when you're talking about the point spread fluctuating a little bit,

645
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: it's been Bama minus one and a half, Bama minus

646
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: two and a half. It's kind of gone up and

647
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: down there. It reminds me of last night. So it

648
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: was Indiana hosting La Ucla was favored by a point

649
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 2: and a half than right before tip off, they're favored

650
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: by two and a half. And as fate would have it, right,

651
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: you had IU down four at the very end of

652
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: the game, they're like four seconds left, they're down by four.

653
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: They throw a half court pass. Guy chucks it at

654
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 2: half court, not even close, but it hits the backboard

655
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: and an IU player gets the rebound and lays it

656
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: in at the buzzer. Ucla wins by two. So think

657
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: about that minus one and a half Bruins minus two

658
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 2: and a half Bruins. Depending on when you got it,

659
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: it made all the difference in the world, and.

660
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 7: Just bet the money line.

661
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: You might be looking at something similar with Bama fluctuating

662
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: between one and a half two and a half.

663
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: It's something to keep in mind.

664
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 6: I know, I like the total here so much better

665
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 6: because of that, because I do think it's going to

666
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 6: be a track. Mean, I do think the three point

667
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 6: line is going to play a factor in this one.

668
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 6: So it's much more co uzy game watching the number

669
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 6: instead of watching the spread. But if you want a

670
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 6: good sweat, uh yeah, I think my leen's Alabama.

671
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 5: I'll say this about Auburn, more battle.

672
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 6: Tested, least amount of losses against the toughest schedule in

673
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 6: the country. That tells you all you need to know Alabama.

674
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 6: They haven't been as tested, but still a great team

675
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 6: and they can push the tempo.

676
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 5: So we're in for a great game.

677
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely we are. That's Rich Herenberger, Penn State All American.

00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:42,800

702
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,280

00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,839

704
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:48,160

Speaker 5: Buddy? Oh?

707
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 4: It's moneyline parlay time in college basketball, and.

708
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 7: Y'all are talking about Alabama Auburn.

709
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 4: I'm talking about North Alabama against Jacksonville.

710
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 7: That's the real game of the day. Guys, Come on people.

711
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 7: North Alabama is an absolute wagon.

712
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: In the Atlantic Sun. They're a six and a half

713
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 4: point home favor. Today we're gonna put them on the

714
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: money line. First leg of the parlay. North dal has

715
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: only lost one home game all year. That was back

716
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 4: in November to Samford. They forced turnovers. They're a beast

717
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: on the glass. I think they get it done against Jacksonville.

718
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: Second leg of the money line parlay, Grand Canyon against U. T.

719
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 7: Arlington. Come out with bringing out all the big guns

720
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 7: for this one. Early the looks are legit, guys. They

721
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 7: are a seven and a half point road fave in

722
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 7: this game. They were a top sixty team over the

723
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 7: last month.

724
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 4: Remember they won a game in the tourney last year

725
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 4: and they played Pamatov in the round of thirty two.

726
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 4: Very experienced lineup Tyan Grant Foster. He's an NBA caliber player.

727
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 4: They're long and strong defensively.

728
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 7: Don't love U. T. Arlington.

729
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 4: They're coming off an ot win over cal Baptist where

730
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: they trailed by seventeen in the second half.

731
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 7: Crazy comeback.

732
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 5: I was actually on U T.

733
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 7: Arlington in that game.

734
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 4: I think they dropped this one though, So we'll put

735
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 4: Grand Canyon on the money line for leg number two.

736
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 7: Leg number three, I'll give you a big.

737
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 4: Kind of game here. Texas at home again Kentucky. So

738
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 4: how about this pranked Kentucky on the road against.

739
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 7: Texas, who's four and eight in conference play. Guess who's favorite.

740
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: It's the home team that has only won four SEC

741
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 4: games all year. Again, that unranked home team. We love

742
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 4: that vibe when they are favorite. So we'll put Texas

743
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 4: on the money line. Kentucky dealing with some injuries right now.

744
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 4: They might be without Lamont Butler, their fifth year senior.

745
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 4: Came over from San Diego State and had a great

746
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 4: run to the Final four with the AS Techs. He's

747
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 4: a little bit banged up. Texas has the leading scorer

748
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 4: in the SEC, trade Johnson. This kid is an absolute

749
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 4: rock star. The complimentary pieces around him are fantastic. Scheddrick

750
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 4: in the middle. You got Kolumba, the trans from k State.

751
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 4: He's the four man, and I really like the point

752
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 4: guard Julian Larry very good points plus assists per possession.

753
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 8: Guy.

754
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 4: So Texas, Grand Canyon and North Alabama, Not Alabama, North

755
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 4: Alabama all on the money line plus one eighty four

756
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 4: over at Bett MGM.

757
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, Texas, how about that Texas coming off of that

758
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 6: loss to Alabama.

759
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 5: But they've lost three straight so.

760
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 6: You're counting on the bounce back here and that Alabama game.

761
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 6: Going back to what we were talking about, because big

762
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 6: one against Auburn today, Alabama was on fire from the

763
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 6: free three point line.

764
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 5: So I like that.

765
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 6: I like Texas over Kentucky. They're gonna get back off

766
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 6: the Schneid.

767
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 7: Off to Schneid.

768
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 4: Anytime I have teams backs against the wall and they're

769
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: fevered in a home game against a team that's ranked

770
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 4: and the team that's favored is not good, it's like right,

771
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 4: you know, it's like those red flag the alarms go off.

772
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 7: Oh take a look at this game.

773
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's the old I always hear the price

774
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 2: is right thing in my own where it's like right,

775
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: right right, when you went to both showk showdowns right there?

776
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what do you have to be within like

777
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: ten dollars? It's ridiculous when you want a full showcase showdowns.

778
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: But that's the noise I hear in my head. You're

779
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 2: right it's uh man, the team that's lost three straight

780
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: games unranked and favored over the ranked team.

781
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 7: It's like, yeah, wait, wait on.

782
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 4: Kentucky's dealing with so many injuries right now, and we

783
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 4: haven't talked a lot about Kentucky this year. They've had

784
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: a pretty good season all things considered, with Pope in

785
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 4: his first year.

786
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 7: But it just feels like this is a tough spot.

787
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 7: Those home environments in the SEC are really tough, really

788
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 7: tough to overcome.

789
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, and I'll tell you props to you for

790
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 2: going random on a full slate Saturday.

791
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 3: You know, this almost sounds like a Friday parlay.

792
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 4: Last Alabama team I love so the two teams you're

793
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 4: gonna be hearing me bet on a lot down the

794
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 4: stretch North Alabama and Grand Canyons.

795
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 7: I love these two teams.

796
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 5: The Antelopes, man, they they're sneaky.

797
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 6: They they are one of those teams where you don't

798
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 6: pay attention, Like you said, all of a sudden, they

799
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 6: show up in March and they could be dangerous to

800
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 6: teams that they face in the early rounds.

801
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 5: Round the sixty four, round the thirty two. Yeah, oh,

802
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 5: I do.

803
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 4: Not want to face Grand Canyon and I'll be honest,

804
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 4: this conference is really fun. So the Whack they play

805
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 4: their turn A lot of teams play a lot of

806
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 4: conference to play their tournaments here in Vegas, but they

807
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 4: have an unbelievable hashtag for their tournament, hashtag Whack Vegas.

808
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 7: I mean, it does not get any better than that.

809
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 5: The tournament.

810
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 4: It was nuts last year. Remember last year some guy

811
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 4: got like pegged with a ball, like you got like

812
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: like absolutely punted because it was like an out, like

813
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 4: you know, the game got crazy late and I got

814
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 4: absolutely It was a fun tournament last year here in Vegas.

815
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

816
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 2: Man, some of these like random matchups, they're great games.

817
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 5: You know.

818
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: I wasn't watching the game, but I was following all

819
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: the scores. I don't know what I was doing last night.

820
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: I was point A to point B or I don't

821
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 2: know what was going on, but uh, I was keeping

822
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: tabs of Marist at Siena.

823
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 5: I think it was.

824
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sienna had a big lead, They're up twenty something.

825
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: They lost the game out right. I'm like, look at Marist,

826
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: look at the Red Foxes coming back.

827
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 4: The lead is ever safe in college basketball again. I

828
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 4: was on that cow Baptist ut Arlington game on Thursday.

829
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 4: It was an afternoon game at at UT Arlington. They

830
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 4: were down seventeen in the second half all of a sudden,

831
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 4: like completely left for dead, and then all of a sudden,

832
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 4: it's the game's in overtime.

833
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

834
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: No, Hey, listen, man, sometimes these random matchups are your friend.

835
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: You don't have to go big game hunting number one

836
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: versus number two. You can find value a.

837
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 3: Lot of different places.

838
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 7: Because nobody find more value, nobody.

839
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 4: Bets some the numbers don't move as much as a

840
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 4: softer market, I think the mid major games and we

841
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 4: hear you know, I mean, that's why we have Shameless

842
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 4: on all the time, with the shame of special like

843
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 4: he's he's made a name for himself with him.

844
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 7: That's where you really, that's where I love that.

845
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: In college oops, yeah, no doubt.

846
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: All right, we'll have more college hoops for you coming

847
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 2: up throughout the show, some more intriguing matchups. Houston at

848
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: Arizona is a good one. We'll get into that here

849
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 2: as we go along. Also, coming up, the name is

850
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: way bigger than the game right now, we'll have details.

851
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 2: Oh welcome in. I hope your morning is off to

852
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: a great start. Hey, we do have to mention some

853
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: ball over here in between all the basketball chatter. But

854
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, he was let go by the Jets officially,

855
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: Jets informed Aaron Rodgers that they are moving in a

856
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: different direction, and uh, what's next for Rogers? If any

857
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 2: Here's a legitimate question, and it might vary team by team,

858
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: but would you rather have Sam Donald or Aaron Rodgers

859
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: right now? Like, that's a legitimate question based on the

860
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: age the last season that both of them had.

861
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 3: Does it vary from team to team for you?

862
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: For instance, if you're the Raiders, why would you want

863
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers over Sam Donald. I'm not doing backflips for

864
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, but he's way younger than Rogers. Where are

865
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 2: you going with Rogers in one year? With the roster

866
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: you have, You're going nowhere? If you're the Steelers, maybe

867
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: you'd go with Rogers thinking you have a playoff ready

868
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: type type team type roster and.

869
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 3: You make a run for it. Maybe it varies, does

870
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 3: it very for you?

871
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 5: Rich?

872
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 2: If you go team by team, would you rather have

873
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: Sam Donald or Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback?

874
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 6: It's a good question that I haven't committed a lot

875
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 6: of thought to if I were to think team by team,

876
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 6: But I have committed some thought to, like QB comparisons,

877
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 6: guys who are presumed to be available or are available,

878
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 6: And both Donald and Aaron Rodgers were presumed and now

879
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 6: are available. So I have thought about which one makes

880
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 6: a better fit with most of these teams. And every

881
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 6: single time I spin the wheel at lands on Donald,

882
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 6: because Aaron Rodgers, as talented as he is, you are

883
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 6: right now gauging your potential success on just that his

884
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 6: potential because he has not played to his potential in

885
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 6: literally years. Sam Darnald, you can make the same argument.

886
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 6: But he's coming off of the strongest season of his career,

887
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 6: So look, is he as veteran of talent as Aaron.

888
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 5: No.

889
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 6: Has he been a leader deep into the postseason like

890
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 6: Aaron has been in the past.

891
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 5: No, But also Aaron Rodgers hasn't done that in a

892
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 5: long time.

893
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 6: And so you're you're really taking a flyer out on

894
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 6: both of them. One of them is probably going to

895
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 6: be less experience expensive, that's Aaron, but also has a

896
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 6: a a nearer expiration date. Donald is going to be

897
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 6: more expensive. But if it works out, you may have

898
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 6: yourself a franchise quarterback potentially, So I I mean, if

899
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 6: we're rating it on potential alone, and where I see

900
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 6: the arrow pointing for these two quarterbacks, I think for

901
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 6: the majority of teams, I think Sam Donald's the better,

902
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 6: safer choice.

903
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the tag on Donald will be like forty mil So,

904
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 4: the Vikings will obviously you know he's gone, and he'll

905
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 4: be he'll be in the wild and anyone can sign

906
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 4: him and be in the wilder like in the wild,

907
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 4: and you'll you'll see what his fair market value really is.

908
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 4: Whereas Aaron Rodgers is a lot like Russell Wilson last year,

909
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 4: where you know the Jets are going to pick up

910
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 4: the tab and someone else is going to get a

911
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 4: really cheap discount, really cheat So you're gonna see a

912
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 4: lot of teams that are going to be very excited

913
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 4: to try to sign Rogers and get him on the team.

914
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 4: I think that at Pittsburgh makes sense. Vegas makes a

915
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 4: lot of sense at Aaron. I don't know if you're listening.

916
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 4: The plant medicine out here.

917
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 7: In Vegas is fantastic.

918
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 4: Don't ask me how I know, but we know Aaron's

919
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 4: a big ayahuasca guy.

920
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, this is the spot for it. Aaron,

921
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 7: come out to Vegas. It's fantastic out here.

922
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 4: No, there's a lot of positives I think with the

923
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 4: Vegas situation as well, because of the defense, and really

924
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 4: like as a Jets fan speaking objectively here, Aaron was

925
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 4: not the problem last year. Now do I love the

926
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 4: fact that he was a content creator first quarterback second, No,

927
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers was not the issue with the Jets

928
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 4: last year. He was not the reason that they just

929
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 4: completely fell off a cliff. I think there's one good

930
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 4: year of football left in Aaron's arm, and it's all

931
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 4: about finding the right situation, the right culture.

932
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 7: He needs to go to an established culture.

933
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 4: He needs to go to a place where his quirkiness

934
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 4: is a little bit more appreciated and accepted.

935
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 7: Whereas the Jets, they expected.

936
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 4: Him to be the leader, and I just don't think

937
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 4: he's that guy at this stage of his career.

938
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 7: I think he's a guy that needs to come into it.

939
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 4: He needs the parachute into an established spot with an

940
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 4: established culture. He needs to play his best year of

941
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 4: football and then he'll probably move on. But I would

942
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 4: be surprised if it's not either Pittsburgh or Vegas.

943
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,479
Speaker 2: Well he was better down the stretch the last ten games,

944
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: who were a lot better than the first seven games

945
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: for Rogers. Where you look at the first seven games,

946
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: it's like ten touchdowns to seven picks, that's not what

947
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 2: you're looking for. The last ten games, eighteen touchdowns to

948
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: four picks, that's that's better.

949
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 3: That's better.

950
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 2: So I think that some of this is viewed a

951
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 2: little bit too negatively because the expectations were so high,

952
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 2: right it was, oh, you got Rogers and a real

953
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: defense man, that they could be a real player come

954
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: playoff time, and they weren't even sniffing the playoffs five

955
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 2: and twelve, you know, And a lot of that does

956
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 2: fall on Rogers' shoulders. But if you look at, to

957
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: Jared's point, just individually what his numbers were, his numbers

958
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 2: might be better than you thought, just.

959
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 3: Based on how high the expectations.

960
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 2: Were, how low the results were team wise, and you're like, man,

961
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: did Rogers throwing more picks than touchdowns?

962
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

963
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 2: It just feels like the individual production was actually worse

964
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: than it really was. But with all that being said,

965
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: you got a high maintenance quarterback that you have to

966
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 2: ask yourself, is it really worth getting into business with

967
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: this guy at this stage of his career. I just

968
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 2: I don't get the Raiders thing at all. That roster

969
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 2: is nowhere near competing. What in the AFC West with

970
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,959
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Chargers, even Denver was a playoff team.

971
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 3: What are the Raiders doing with Rogers? They're doing nothing.

972
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: Don't know why he would say yes, other than just

973
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 2: to get a pay check and stay relevant where he

974
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 2: goes on shows and he's an active quarterback instead of retired.

975
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 2: Other than that, they're not winning anything nothing with the

976
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: Raiders this next season.

977
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 6: I also think that Aaron's gonna be choosy. I think

978
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 6: that there's a possibility that maybe he even takes a

979
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 6: gap year because the right team, with the right situation

980
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 6: didn't look to sign Aaron Rodgers. I could see that too,

981
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 6: and we've seen that in the past. Look guys have

982
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 6: been you know, retired or have been out of the

983
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 6: league and they've been called back into action and they've

984
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 6: had success. Look at Joe Flacco, you know, with the

985
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 6: with the Cleveland Browns. He led them last season, not

986
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 6: this past season, but the twenty twenty three season into

987
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,959
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty five or twenty twenty four season, into

988
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty three season, into the twenty twenty four playoffs.

989
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 5: With the Cleveland Brown.

990
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 6: You know, he was called off the lazy boy, he

991
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 6: was on the recliner, and he got back out there.

992
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 6: So even if it's a situation where Rodgers is out

993
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 6: of football, it's possible that he could make a return

994
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 6: if the right situation comes up and he's at the

995
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 6: point in his career where he can be choosy. But

996
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 6: I agree with what you said, Brian. When you sign

997
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers, you onboard some problems. There's issues with his

998
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 6: the freedom that he has as an elder statement in

999
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 6: this league, and that's something you're not gonna have to

1000
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 6: deal with with Sam Donald. Sam Donald is way more

1001
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 6: controllable because even though he'll be one of one of

1002
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 6: the higher paid quarterbacks in the league this upcoming season,

1003
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 6: he still has a ton to prove. Aaron Rodgers is

1004
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 6: I mean miles down that road, and in fact, I

1005
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,439
Speaker 6: feel like he's going to flip the paradigm. I think

1006
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 6: there's gonna be a team or teams out there who

1007
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 6: are interested in him, who don't have who don't have

1008
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 6: enough to prove to Aaron in order for him to

1009
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 6: sign with them.

1010
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was weird because Diana Rassini reported that there

1011
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 4: were these stipulations that the Jets gave him. You can't

1012
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 4: appear on the McAfee show, you have to show up

1013
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 4: the mandatory mini camp and all the you know, the

1014
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 4: little things that a lot of veterans get a pass

1015
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 4: on these days if they, you know, they have a

1016
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 4: legit excuse. And then Ian Rapport came on NFL network

1017
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 4: and said that wasn't true, and both parties just decided

1018
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 4: to part ways. So there's been a little bit of confusion,

1019
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,439
Speaker 4: I guess, and I don't. I honestly don't know which

1020
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 4: of those.

1021
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 7: Two stories is true. They both are very credible reporters.

1022
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 4: But my guess is there were probably conversations about that,

1023
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 4: and that was a part of it, but maybe not

1024
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 4: the full part of it, and both parties just kind

1025
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 4: of wanted to move on from each other. But my

1026
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 4: guess is, you know, to kind of tie a bow

1027
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 4: on why would he go to Vegas. Vegas probably would

1028
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 4: let him do those things, and they probably wouldn't care,

1029
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 4: you know, like that's so it might be the freedom

1030
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 4: that he is entitled to as a veteran that maybe

1031
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 4: a new culture like Aaron Glenn won't tolerate. But Pete Carroll,

1032
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 4: who's a little bit more of a player's coach, not

1033
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 4: trying to you know, get into his first head coaching

1034
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 4: job in Ruffle Feathers, like Aaron Glenn's really trying to

1035
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 4: pull the reins back in and really grab this Jets

1036
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 4: locker room, whereas Pete Carroll, I think is I would assume,

1037
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, I would assume we'll have a little

1038
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 4: bit more hands off, lase fair approach to the Raiders

1039
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 4: locker room might allow him some freedoms. And let's be honest,

1040
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 4: if he goes to Pittsburgh, I would say Mike Tomlins

1041
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 4: more on the Aaron Glenn's side of the aisle with Hey,

1042
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna grab this locker room by the horns, and

1043
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 4: this is my locker room, and we're going to control

1044
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 4: the culture here in Pittsburgh. So that might be a

1045
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 4: deciding factor for where Aaron goes. Where does he have

1046
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 4: the most freedom, Where can he be the most energetic

1047
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 4: healing you know, iahwa Skill like I think the free

1048
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 4: spirit that he is might fit Vegas.

1049
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 7: Based off of that vibe.

1050
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: No, I hear you. It makes sense what you're saying.

1051
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 2: The only thing that keeps me from the Raiders is

1052
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 2: we're guessing what Aaron Rodgers really wants at this point.

1053
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 2: And granted that can be, you know, an adventure what

1054
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 2: he wants exactly, but I would assume that if you're like, hey, Rogers,

1055
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 2: do you want to sign up for five.

1056
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 3: And twelve again? What do you think buddy?

1057
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, no, I've had my fair share of

1058
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 2: five and twelve?

1059
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 3: Thank you?

1060
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 8: Right?

1061
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: Like, does he really want to run it back with

1062
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 2: a similar season and a similar lack of team success

1063
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: than what he just experienced with the Jets? That's what

1064
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 2: you're signing up for with the Raiders. Best case scenario,

1065
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 2: you're like seven and ten, Like literally that would be

1066
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 2: like pie in the sky is we're inching toward five hundred?

1067
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 4: Do you think he really cares that much about winning

1068
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 4: another Super Bowl? Honestly, Like, deep down in his gut.

1069
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 3: I think he cares about winning.

1070
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, like priority wise super Bowl versus I

1071
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 2: want to do this and I want to go here

1072
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 2: and I want to have the freedom that it's Aaron

1073
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: Rodgers we're talking about. So I don't know how his

1074
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 2: list exactly breaks down, but I think what rich said

1075
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:19,919
Speaker 2: makes more sense where if I'm Rogers, I would rather

1076
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: just be a free agent.

1077
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 3: And granted, it's not the best case.

1078
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 2: Scenario where you're waiting for a better situation if a

1079
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 2: quarterback goes down, Like think about the Cowboys last season

1080
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 2: when Dak went down. If they had a legitimate record

1081
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 2: and they're like, hey, let's give Rogers a call here,

1082
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 2: I'd much rather go to.

1083
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 3: A roster like that than the Raiders.

1084
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to sign up with the

1085
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: Raiders day one and be their quarterback. I would rather

1086
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 2: keep my options open if it was down to those

1087
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 2: two options.

1088
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, it could be a situation where I mean, look,

1089
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy, he gets injured in training camp, Sam Darnold

1090
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 6: works out, But I mean, obviously they're they're pushing their

1091
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 6: chips in the middle of the table with McCarthy and

1092
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 6: Darnold is going to be a quarterback for someone else.

1093
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 5: What if that knee isn't right or what if what if?

1094
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 5: What if? And I'm not just focusing.

1095
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 6: On McCarthy, but any of these quarterbacks we see.

1096
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 5: Injuries all the time.

1097
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 6: So if the right move doesn't avail itself to Rogers immediately,

1098
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 6: I think the waiting game and a little patience could

1099
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 6: behoove him. And even if that means, hey, I'm gonna

1100
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 6: skip a season all together, I'm gonna do the media circuit.

1101
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 6: Maybe I'm gonna co host some shows, just like you know,

1102
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 6: Bill Belichick took a gap year before taking the UNC job,

1103
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 6: or Pete Carroll was, you know, an adjunct professor at

1104
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 6: USC before.

1105
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 5: Taking the Vegas Raiders job.

1106
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 6: As coaches, you know, when you're an elder statesman and

1107
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 6: you have a name like Carol or Belichick or in

1108
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 6: the quarterback Realm Rogers, it always feels like there's gonna

1109
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 6: be a seat at the table for you. It's just

1110
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 6: a matter of where and what the situation looks like

1111
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 6: and if you think it benefits you. So I could

1112
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 6: see this story carrying on for a long time.

1113
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 5: And by the way, wouldn't Aaron Rodgers like that?

1114
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 6: Because his name ends up in the media a lot,

1115
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 6: and I think it's by design. I think he likes

1116
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 6: to inject himself into the conversation. He likes having narratives

1117
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 6: swirling around him and this would be another narrative like, Wow,

1118
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers went on went unsigned, Where does he go next?

1119
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 6: You know, dot dot Dodd stay tuned. It's it's just

1120
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 6: a way to feed that cycle.

1121
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 7: I think the key in this.

1122
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 4: Quarterback classes is Stafford and what the Rams decide to do.

1123
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 4: I think that will flick the domino and start to

1124
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 4: put the wheels in motion for where everything else pans out,

1125
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 4: because that's to me, that's the most intriguing. I mean,

1126
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 4: if you're a team looking for a quarterback one year

1127
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 4: bridge quarterback.

1128
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 7: That's the guy I want.

1129
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 4: That's the guy who has already proven in his first

1130
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 4: year with a new team he can go to a

1131
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 4: super Bowl. And I think that is the If there's

1132
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 4: one team that can really set the tone for the

1133
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 4: free agency the off season in the NFL, it's the

1134
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 4: Rams and how they decide, and not only Stafford but

1135
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 4: cup I mean, imagine, imagine how quickly you can turn

1136
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 4: and the Commanders did it last year right now.

1137
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 7: They did it through the draft and building.

1138
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 4: I would say the right way, but you can see

1139
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 4: the worst to first is there, Like if there's a

1140
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 4: team Giants tight, somebody that can figure out a way

1141
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 4: to pry Stafford and Cooper Cup away from the Rams Raiders.

1142
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 4: I mean, whoever it is you go from worse to first,

1143
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 4: or you can really, you know, set your sights on

1144
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 4: a division with a snap of a finger, just like

1145
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 4: that with one with one wave of your wand.

1146
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 7: And getting those two guys in toe.

1147
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 4: So I think Rogers is kind of because of the

1148
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 4: price tag on Rogers and because of the Jets having

1149
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 4: to eat the I mean, that's just the only contract

1150
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 4: this year that's worse than the Rogers thing is what's

1151
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 4: going on with the Angels and Anthony Rendome, but that.

1152
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 7: We can save that for baseball season.

1153
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 4: It's it's crazy how how much, how cheap he will be,

1154
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 4: and I think that'll be kind of the hey we

1155
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 4: need a guy, let's bring in Aaron.

1156
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 7: He's real cheap.

1157
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 4: Whereas Stafford, I think, is the guy that will kind

1158
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 4: of set the market for quarterbacks in the off season.

1159
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 3: I just don't see.

1160
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you could give the Raiders whatever combination Rogers

1161
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 2: in Cup.

1162
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 3: They're going nowhere.

1163
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 2: You could give the Raiders Stafford in Cup and I

1164
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 2: would I heavily bet against them in that division.

1165
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 3: They're not They're again like the.

1166
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, the division's really tough. I agree.

1167
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Chiefs are going for a three peat. You know,

1168
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 2: they've been the class. They've been in the AFC title

1169
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 2: Game seven straight years. Like I know, worse the first

1170
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: can happen in the NFL. I totally get that. But like,

1171
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 2: is Rogers like Jayden Daniels at the stage of his career.

1172
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 7: No, I don't think Rogers moves into I think if

1173
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 7: the Raiders.

1174
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 4: Get Stafford in Cup, I would I would be very

1175
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 4: I'd be like whoa.

1176
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 3: I'd be like, whoa, there they go eight and nine.

1177
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 3: But I'd be like, they're.

1178
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 2: Going nowhere, nowhere in that division, even with those guys, Chargers, Chiefs, Broncos. No,

1179
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: not happening.

1180
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 3: Sorry.

1181
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 6: There usually is an odd man out divisionally, right, you know, there's.

1182
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 5: A team that even even if in.

1183
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 6: The preseason they look like on paper, they can compete.

1184
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 6: It's hard to have four competitive teams in a division,

1185
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 6: and it does feel like the Raiders are the odd

1186
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 6: man out. But who knows roster construction, you know, a

1187
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 6: change of guard at the top of this organization, maybe

1188
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 6: some stability we haven't seen before, and and things. Things

1189
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 6: are constantly influx in the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised

1190
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 6: if there were surprises in the AFC West for US

1191
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 6: this upcoming season.

1192
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 7: He was always the Jets in the afcast.

1193
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 4: Let's just leave it there, it's always the Jets.

1194
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 2: As I hope they do get significant upgrades because that

1195
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 2: would be a lot of fun. It would a lot

1196
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 2: of fun to you know, they anticipate where they're gonna be. Yeah,

1197
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 2: the NFL is more exciting, hundred relevant.

1198
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:21,959

1227
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 2: at Alabama. And I know that you love your you know,

1228
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 2: off the radar college basketball plays, but do you love

1229
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 2: this one?

1230
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 3: Also for a player too.

1231
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 8: Guys gonna be back this week. I don't know, I

1232
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 8: don't see much of it edge here. I think both

1233
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 8: teams are really really good. It's going to be really tight.

1234
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,439
Speaker 8: I don't see a side I particularly loved here. Even

1235
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 8: the total, I mean, seventy two and a half total

1236
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 8: seems high, but both teams have showed over the course

1237
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,479
Speaker 8: of the year that they can score the basketball I will,

1238
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 8: so I don't really see much of a sign here.

1239
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 8: I know this line opened, you know, around one and

1240
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 8: a half. We're still sitting there, so we'll see which

1241
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 8: way the money falls come closer to tip.

1242
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Seamus, I think just an absolute behemoth of a

1243
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 4: Saturday in college basketball. I want to give you a

1244
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 4: chance here as the football season officially concludes. Just an

1245
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 4: epic super Bowl for the I mean, I know no

1246
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 4: one listening cares, but for you as a sports book,

1247
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 4: was that the most part I heard, the most profitable day,

1248
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 4: the biggest day in bet MGM history because of all

1249
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 4: those Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown bets that came up empty.

1250
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 6: Oo.

1251
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure everyone listening is just, you know,

1252
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 8: put on Super Bowl Sunday. Everyone's pumped. But yeah, it's seriously.

1253
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 8: Our PR team put it out earlier this week. It

1254
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 8: was one of the best days we've ever had as

1255
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 8: a company. That's even with you know, coming in, there

1256
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 8: were so many different factors about which side we're rooting for.

1257
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 8: It ended up being fairly balanced either way. About the outcome,

1258
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 8: a couple of things he said that worked out for

1259
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 8: a Saquon under his totals no touchdown, Kelsey under his totals,

1260
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 8: no touchdown, incredible stuff. I mean, HER's first touchdown was

1261
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 8: the only market that really felt like that was where

1262
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 8: we took a bit of a hit. But we're talking

1263
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 8: all of these, you know, sing game parlays getting cooked

1264
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 8: the Chiefs. We stood a lot of liability on the

1265
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,919
Speaker 8: last legs of parlays that included the Chiefs. Even when

1266
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 8: that game we're in the Super Bowl. You have a

1267
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 8: live book where everyone races to bet the Chiefs whenever

1268
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 8: they're losing, and they just kept getting pummeled and not

1269
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 8: even covering big spreads. It seemed like everything seemed to

1270
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 8: go our way in that game. So it's definitely one

1271
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 8: we're going to remember, and it was one of the

1272
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 8: best I think we've shown in a while. We had

1273
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 8: over thirteen hundred markets, over thirty five hundred selections you

1274
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 8: can make on the Super Bowl. Definitely one of our

1275
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,479
Speaker 8: best looking books we've ever had. For a Super Bowl.

1276
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 8: So just a great job for the trading team all

1277
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 8: around from us.

1278
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 5: Incredible.

1279
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 6: As we turn our attention to college basketball, it's just

1280
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 6: about time we start talking about the tournament. We got

1281
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 6: a couple of double bubble games like West Virginia, Baylor,

1282
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 6: Wake Fours SMU.

1283
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 5: How about how about bubble teams you like?

1284
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 6: I mean, there's plenty to choose from Vandy, Texas, San

1285
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 6: Diego State that one hits close to home. Is there

1286
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 6: a bubble team or a couple that have your attention

1287
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 6: at this point of the season.

1288
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, it's definitely a definitely a weird bubble.

1289
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 8: It feels like we're talking about expanding the tournament in

1290
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 8: the coming years and I don't see when, Like this

1291
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 8: bubble is pretty lack luster. Like, you have an SMU

1292
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 8: team record looks great, They've beaten absolutely no I think

1293
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 8: they have one win against a Ken Palm Top fifty

1294
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 8: team like Wake Forest is outside the bubble. I'm not

1295
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 8: sure how much I love them West Virginia, I mean

1296
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 8: that was a team I liked. If they had Tucker

1297
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 8: de Breeze going the rest of the year, you know,

1298
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 8: you got a roof for Vanderbilt like it'd be so

1299
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 8: cool to see them make it back here into the tournament.

1300
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 8: But yeah, I don't you talked about you see San Diego,

1301
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 8: but like it's tough to see. Are we going to

1302
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 8: really get a two big big West? That would be

1303
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 8: really crazy to see. I mean, Arkansas's a bubble team

1304
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 8: just loaded with talent, but you know, they keep not

1305
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 8: winning these big games. Frankly, like I don't even know

1306
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 8: how many teams I really you know, like that are

1307
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 8: on the bubble, like to even make a run.

1308
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny going back to the super Bowl

1309
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 2: that you guys had and all the money that you made.

1310
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 3: What do you guys do as a company.

1311
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 2: I just picture like, hey, guys, we made twenty two

1312
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: million chili.

1313
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 3: Is at lunch today for everyone. Like what do you

1314
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 3: guys do to celebrate anything for like a cash like that?

1315
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 8: Come on, well, it's exactly what you know the public

1316
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 8: sports betters think we do. We just talk champagne and

1317
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 8: the party alloted for sleep through the night after the

1318
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 8: super Bowl. No, it's you know, this week, it's you know,

1319
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 8: it's a big debrief. We look back on the on

1320
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 8: the football season. You know, we try not to you know,

1321
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 8: be like, hey, that was a great result. Let's you know,

1322
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 8: take some time to credit your respective teams and whatnot.

1323
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 8: But March Madness is around the corner, so we don't

1324
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 8: have a lot of time to just you know, you

1325
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 8: know it, say a great job and everything, because we

1326
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 8: got to keep moving forward and you know, keep improving.

1327
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 8: So uh yeah, we're locked in on the college basketball

1328
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 8: coming ahead, and you know, it's still funny of NBA going.

1329
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 8: We're a little bit of a break with the All

1330
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 8: Star Game coming up, and we've got Four Nations hockey,

1331
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 8: which has been awesome this week and we're seeing some

1332
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:51,439
Speaker 8: good handle there.

1333
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1334
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 4: Actually that has been the buzz amongst some of the

1335
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 4: gambling social media circles this week. Is those the Finland

1336
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 4: you know us say Canon, all those crazy hockey matchups

1337
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 4: that are happening right now. A quick transition question with

1338
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 4: college hoops, we're in that week now where everyone starts

1339
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 4: to focus on college basketball. Would you say at this

1340
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 4: point the market has fully caught up to that or

1341
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 4: is there a little bit of a grace period for

1342
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 4: the casual college basketball better that has missed out on

1343
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 4: the first three months of the season to kind of

1344
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 4: get their feet wet with the softer market, or are

1345
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 4: you guys, do you feel your defenses are impenetrable at

1346
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 4: this stage where you've had twenty five data points on

1347
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 4: most of these teams, you kind of know what they are.

1348
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 4: Or do we get a little bit of a grace

1349
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 4: period for the next couple weeks until March madness.

1350
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 8: You might get a little bit of like an edge

1351
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 8: this week, But you know, we have a pretty decent

1352
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 8: sample size. Most teams have played around, you know, a

1353
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 8: little north of twenty games already this year, so market's

1354
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 8: definitely settled on a lot of teams. But you know,

1355
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 8: you look at these smaller conference teams that you know

1356
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 8: I always come on here and talk about you can

1357
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 8: always find an edge there. I mean, if you're locked

1358
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 8: in you know, the Swack Conference or you know the

1359
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 8: Horizon League Church, you can still find an edge. But

1360
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 8: you know, this time, like there is a lot of

1361
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 8: teams that you probably have missed the boat a little bit.

1362
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 8: But you know, if there's a team I always like

1363
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 8: to see teams who have started playing better since the

1364
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 8: new year, and you know, you get a team like

1365
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 8: Wisconsin right now, they've been playing some of the best

1366
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 8: basketball in the country right now, So that could be

1367
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 8: another team where it's like, oh, well, maybe you know,

1368
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 8: is the market caught up to them yet? We'll see.

1369
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 8: That's just an example.

1370
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 5: Number one, verse number two. I said it earlier today.

1371
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 6: Auburn at Alabama, I'm expecting a track meet. I think

1372
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 6: the over is a safe bet. How do you feel

1373
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 6: this game is going to be played? I'm thinking tempo,

1374
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 6: but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

1375
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 8: I agree. I mean, it's hard not to see tempo,

1376
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 8: especially with Nate Oates. Do you know how he likes

1377
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 8: to play, especially at home. They're gonna they're gonna really

1378
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 8: run the ball, and we're prol It's not as DNA

1379
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 8: to ever take the air out of the ball. So

1380
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 8: I think you're definitely going to see a track It's

1381
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 8: just are we going to see the shops?

1382
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 5: Ball?

1383
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 8: Is all we need?

1384
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 5: All right?

1385
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 2: Seamus Seamus special time. It doesn't sound like Auburn Alabama,

1386
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 2: So what's it gonna be?

1387
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 7: Alabama? That was a pick I gave that earlier.

1388
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 8: If you're watching one game today, it's not a college

1389
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 8: basketball game. It simply must be USA Canada eight o'clock

1390
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 8: Eastern in the four Nations face off in Mancha. It's

1391
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 8: going to be an electric atmosphere. And I go to

1392
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 8: a player prop here. Brady could Chuck was all over

1393
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 8: the ice for USA against Finland in their game last Wednesday.

1394
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 8: I mean, this guy, he's getting bumped up to the

1395
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 8: first line. It looks like from what we're seeing with

1396
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 8: his brother, Matt and Jack Eichel, those three guys were

1397
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 8: probably the three best forwards for the team in that game.

1398
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 8: I like Brady could Chuck to score a goal here.

1399
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 8: I think he gets some pretty good odds because he's

1400
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 8: skitting with the third line the first game. But I

1401
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 8: don't know, maybe it looks like the markets will slow to,

1402
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 8: you know, figure him out on the on the top line.

1403
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of goals in that game.

1404
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 8: It's you know, it's someone on Cana has said this tournament,

1405
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 8: they take sweetens the fastest hockey game you ever played in.

1406
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 8: You have the best hockey players in the world save

1407
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 8: the Russians playing in this and there's just so much

1408
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 8: speed out there. I could see some goals in this game.

1409
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, love that Four Nations, very nice, all right,

1410
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 2: good stuff is always here. Seamus I hope you have

1411
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: a great day and maybe not as successful as the

1412
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

1413
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 3: You know, maybe not, but it's.

1414
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 8: Gonna be those for a while.

1415
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:34,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

1416
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: We'll catch you soon though. Thank you for your time, Seamus.

1417
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 2: As always, thanks guys. There he is Seamus McGee, team

1418
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 2: lead of Sports Trading at bet MGM. Okay, let's keep

1419
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 2: the hoops talk going over here. First thing, you guys,

1420
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 2: see the one on one tournament that was going on

1421
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 2: last night in the unrivaled league, like literally.

1422
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 3: One on one.

1423
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you love to see that in the NBA? Are

1424
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 2: you all Star weekend? Like what the Dunk Contest has

1425
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 2: turned into with a bunch of no names disaster, You

1426
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 2: could spruce up the weekend massively if you add a

1427
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 2: little bracket one on one and players were actually invested

1428
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 2: in that, that could be unbelievable.

1429
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 3: I would love to see that.

1430
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think that.

1431
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 6: I think that in general, what fans are missing when

1432
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 6: it comes to All Star weekend, well, you know what,

1433
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 6: let's expand.

1434
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:31,919
Speaker 5: This to all sports.

1435
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 6: All Star weekend in baseball and basketball, Pro Bowl for

1436
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 6: football is the feeling that the players really care that anything,

1437
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 6: whether it be integrity or interest, is.

1438
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 5: Really on the line. I think that's what makes it fun.

1439
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 6: Now again, all of those festivities are more geared for

1440
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:57,879
Speaker 6: a younger crowd. But if you have a sports betting culture,

1441
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 6: which the United States sports viewing culture is turning to,

1442
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 6: more competitiveness is important. You know, nobody wants to, you know,

1443
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 6: put their real hard earned cash on something where they

1444
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 6: don't think the results are all that uh fought for.

1445
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 5: I guess is the best way it could come up with.

1446
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 6: Uh, it's you want you want to feel like not

1447
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 6: only are you vying for a win, but also those

1448
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 6: who you're placing your wageron are vying.

1449
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 5: For a win. Yeah.

1450
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 4: I think the NBA All Star weekend needs a major renovation.

1451
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 4: It needs some botox facelift, little micro needling, I mean,

1452
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 4: something just to revitalize what is happening something something, I

1453
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 4: mean it's suck out. Yeah, And it got to the

1454
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 4: point now where so I wrote a paper about this

1455
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 4: in college. The definition of a sport and the way

1456
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 4: that I defined it is the most purest form of

1457
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 4: sport is one that there is no outside, you know,

1458
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 4: interference with who decide two wins. So anything that is

1459
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 4: based on a judge saying I think miss.

1460
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,919
Speaker 7: Triple axle is better than that triple axle.

1461
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 4: I get a little bit clammy on on the result,

1462
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 4: Like it's really hard to do. And I'm not saying

1463
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 4: gymnastics or figure skating isn't a sport. I'm saying it

1464
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 4: is not the purest form of sport because the action

1465
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,560
Speaker 4: is not being decided on the playing surface. It is

1466
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 4: being decided upstairs by a judge. You cannot have the

1467
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 4: dunk contest continue to linger on in obscurity with this stuff.

1468
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 4: We need to revitalize this weekend. They have tried so

1469
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 4: many ways, they tried to elam ending. Now they're doing

1470
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 4: this weird four way thing. It's like a it's like

1471
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 4: an orgy of bad basketball. It's just, it's just, it's

1472
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 4: just we need a shape. The NBA All Star weekend

1473
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 4: used to be my favorite weekend of this month.

1474
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was.

1475
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 3: Vince Carter saying it's over.

1476
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 4: It was Nate Robinson five whatever, jumping over people like,

1477
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 4: we need to figure out a way to get that

1478
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 4: excitement back. The NBA's got they've got a problem with

1479
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 4: this All Star weekend. I don't think they have any

1480
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 4: idea what to do with it. It's not like the NFL,

1481
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 4: where it's a throwaway at the end of the year.

1482
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 4: It's smack dab in the middle of the season and

1483
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 4: nobody gives a hoot. Nobody cares. Even the three point

1484
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 4: contest is getting a little bit of a like vibes,

1485
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 4: but it's not what it was, And I think we

1486
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 4: I don't know what the answer is. I think one

1487
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 4: on one's a good idea, Lebron against Giannis.

1488
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 7: Like, are you kidding me? The problem is those guys

1489
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 7: don't want to do it.

1490
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 4: You have to pay them, you have to incentivize them

1491
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 4: to do it. That might be the only way to

1492
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,799
Speaker 4: get these big names back in an All Star weekend.

1493
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,679
Speaker 3: Well, I still love the three point contest. But that's

1494
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 3: the thing.

1495
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 2: This is gonna sound like, you know, old man yelling

1496
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:48,759
Speaker 2: at clouds, but it's true.

1497
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 3: It became cool to not care.

1498
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the that's the reality here of All Star

1499
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 2: weekend where no one, no big names care about doing

1500
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 2: the dunk contest, no big names care about playing in

1501
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. Right, It wasn't that long ago.

1502
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 2: It was maybe one of the first years of the

1503
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:10,719
Speaker 2: elam ending. It was actually pretty good. Like that fourth

1504
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 2: quarter they were really competing and it was it was

1505
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 2: worth watching. And man, these last few years it has

1506
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 2: been freaking brutal. It's I love the NBA. It's unwatchable,

1507
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 2: it really is. And this goofy four team thing, I

1508
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 2: don't know, man, Like we have one of these teams

1509
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 2: like last night there's a bunch of young guys, a

1510
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 2: bunch of non all stars going up against an all

1511
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 2: star team.

1512
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 3: It's like, what are we doing over here? But that's

1513
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 3: at the heart of it.

1514
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 2: No matter how you repackage it, no matter how you

1515
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 2: try to put lipstick on the pig. If they don't care,

1516
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna suck no matter what the format is.

1517
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 3: And I just hate that it's turned into that.

1518
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 2: You see some of these highlights of like when Jordan

1519
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 2: and Kobe were going, they.

1520
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 3: Were going at it it all star.

1521
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 2: They used to be a lot of fun and the

1522
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 2: last hand full of years there's just no effort whatsoever.

1523
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 2: And it's sad if you're used to watching what it

1524
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 2: used to be. It used to actually be a competition.

1525
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 2: It's not even close to that now.

1526
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1527
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel for NBA fans who were born of

1528
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 6: our generation because I've like, if you were a kid

1529
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 6: during the nineties, right, you got to watch an era

1530
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 6: of basketball where players played for pride during All Star Games,

1531
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 6: and All Star Weekend was a big deal. Like Jared mentioned,

1532
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,839
Speaker 6: it was one of the best parts of the sports

1533
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 6: calendar because there's a lull after the Super Bowl, right Like,

1534
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 6: so all of a sudden, your attention turns to the

1535
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,719
Speaker 6: NBA and you have this opportunity to see the best

1536
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 6: stars actually fighting and clawing through an exhibition.

1537
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 5: It was the coolest. It really felt like the soft

1538
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 5: launch to the NBA season.

1539
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 6: Now, granted they had been playing for forty games to

1540
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,799
Speaker 6: that point, but nobody he was paying as much attention

1541
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 6: until the All Star Game, and it really has faded.

1542
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 6: It is faded to the point where the NBA has

1543
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 6: now how to create this play in tournament to make

1544
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 6: a larger field than the playoffs, to actually get people

1545
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 6: motivated to pay attention to their sport with an expanded postseason.

1546
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 5: And it's sad.

1547
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the NBA needs a big facelift, There's no

1548
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 6: question about it.

1549
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1550
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

1551
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,759
Speaker 2: That's Rich Orenberger, Penn State All American, Jared Smith FSR

1552
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 2: betting analyst with US. I'm Brian no On Fridays, BETMGM,

1553

Speaker 2: authorized gaming operator of the NBA, is making first field

1554
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 2: goal scorer wagers more exciting with second Chance.

1555
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 3: What second chance?

1556
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 5: Well?

1557
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 2: You ever bet on your favorite player to score the

1558
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 2: first field goal only to see him make an assist

1559
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 2: to his teammate for an easy layup.

1560
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 3: Not great?

1561
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 2: But with betmgm's second Chance, you'll get your stake back

1562
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,759
Speaker 2: in cash if your first field goal scorer score second

1563
01:15:57,960 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 2: instead of first.

1564
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 3: Right right around the corner, prop it up.

1565
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,880

01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,719
Speaker 1: Prop it up player plays.

1577
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 3: Look at the brand new imaging. I heard the sneakers

1578
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 3: squeaking right there.

1579
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:45,440
Speaker 5: Huh.

1580
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 3: Let's go.

1581
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 2: We got some college basketball plays. Today, Jared, what are

1582
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 2: you looking at that, buddy?

1583
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 5: Oh?

1584
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 7: You know I've got college basketball props for you. So

1585
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 7: I do like the over in this Wisconsin Perdue game

1586
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 7: a lot. It's priced at one to fifty and a half.

1587
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 4: So let's take it a layer deeper and let's figure

1588
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 4: out what's gonna be the vibe of the game. And

1589
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a lot of pick and roll.

1590
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 4: That's what Purdue loves to play. Braiden Smith the number

1591
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 4: one assist rate man in the country. He's had ten

1592
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 4: games this year of double digit assists and again high

1593
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 4: scoring game, high total, a lot of points, a lot

1594
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 4: of buckets, a lot of assists. His number at bet

1595
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 4: MGM is seven and a half plus money to the over.

1596
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 7: I think that number closes higher.

1597
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 4: In fact, that wouldn't be shocked to seeing eight and

1598
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 4: a half pretty soon, even maybe.

1599
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 5: After we give this out.

1600
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 7: But Braiden Smith over.

1601
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 4: Seven and a half assists. I love This game feels

1602
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 4: like a tempo game between the Boilers and the Badgers today.

1603
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 4: So I think Brayden Smith with Trey Kaufin Wren, he

1604
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 4: is the roller to the pick.

1605
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 7: I think you're gonna see a lot of.

1606
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 5: Assists today from Brayden.

1607
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 6: Can't keep my eyes off of this number one, number

1608
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 6: two matchup Auburn Alabama. I'm I'm looking at the Miles

1609
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 6: Kelly three point prop. I may I may take the

1610
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 6: over there, but Johnny Broom is going to get his.

1611
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 6: He is contention for the player of the year in

1612
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 6: the country. Big man, He's gonna get his. This is

1613
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 6: gonna be high scoring affair nineteen and a half. I

1614
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 6: think his player prop sores pass over on the point total.

1615
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 5: Give me, give me Johnny Bruman over on points.

1616
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,839
Speaker 3: Okay, here's the thing. I'm looking at the same.

1617
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 2: Game, auburnett at Alabama, and we're anticipating a track meet.

1618
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 3: A lot of shots, a lot.

1619
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 2: Of makes you know, hopefully if you're on the over,

1620
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 2: but there's gonna be a lot of misses.

1621
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 3: It's just number one, number two teams in.

1622
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 2: Terms of offensive efficiency pass up there.

1623
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 3: So I expect the track meet.

1624
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 2: One of the random things I'm expecting a couple of

1625
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 2: long rebounds.

1626
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 3: Let's stark a guard with rebounding. Here, give me Auburn.

1627
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 2: Guard Denver Jones over two and a half rebounds. Why

1628
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 2: he's not known as a rebounder our guy jan I

1629
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 2: broom Is. It's fantastic that guy might have double digit

1630
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 2: rebounds in this game. But give me Denver Jones to

1631
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:09,839
Speaker 2: get to three rebounds. He's had at least three rebounds

1632
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 2: in four of its last six games, so I anticipated.

1633
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,759
Speaker 3: Some opportunities here where it's just a loose.

1634
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 5: Ball, long rebound.

1635
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 3: I'd say it finds Denver Jones at least three times today.

1636
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 7: What do we don't have a problem with that?

1637
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 5: Okay, I think more more point.

1638
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 4: That's actually a kind of misconception with a lot of

1639
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 4: the high total games.

1640
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 7: You think lower total games, more misses, more rebounds. But

1641
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:33,759
Speaker 7: I prefer the more.

1642
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 4: Shots, more rebounds, more volume of shots. I think that's

1643
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 4: where the vibe is in this band game.

1644
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 7: I'll be honest. I think the total is so I

1645
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 7: would I would not bet over with a total in

1646
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 7: one seventy. I am so many.

1647
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 5: I don't care.

1648
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 3: I'm doing drought and it's over.

1649
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 5: I don't care.

1650
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 2: We got paced, we got three point shooting. We're going over,

1651
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 2: baby track me.

1652
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 7: I've also bet the under, but I don't know if

1653
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 7: i'd bet the opper.

1654
01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 5: I hear you.

1655
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 3: I'm also what do you guys think of this. I'm

1656
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 3: gonna go with Brant Nelson, just ask one to three.

1657
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it track feed Earlier against Kentucky he had

1658
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 2: seven three point attempts.

1659
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 4: Yes, he's gonna step out because he's gonna bring broom

1660
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 4: away from the basket.

1661
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna take too.

1662
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 2: All right, coming up next, If anyone wants to sell

1663
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 2: this team stock, I will happily buy it. Oh what

1664
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 2: is going on? I hope you're having a fantastic Saturday.

1665
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 2: Thanks for being here. You know, we will fully embrace

1666
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 2: hoop season as we go along here, but uh ball

1667
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 2: is still gonna be part of the chatter.

1668
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 5: You know.

1669
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,839
Speaker 2: We got the draft and the not too distant future.

1670
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that when the new odds come out.

1671
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 2: Football wise, we'll dive into that. And I just have

1672
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 2: to I gotta go mini rant for it just just

1673
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 2: a minute here, Jared, you mentioned this early in the show,

1674
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 2: where the overreaction to the Chiefs going forward. Yeah, they

1675
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 2: got punked by the Eagles in the Super Bowl. We

1676
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 2: all saw what happened. But the overreaction of where the

1677
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs go next, it's been a steady diet of oh well,

1678
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 2: this sucks about the roster and that sucks it. Oh

1679
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 2: my gosh, the arrows pointed down cautionary tale, major warning signs.

1680
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 2: It's like, guys, let's hold on for a second here.

1681
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 2: Do you realize when they got crushed by Tampa in

1682
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl fifty five that they won two of the

1683
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 2: next three Super Bowls?

1684
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1685
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,719
Speaker 3: Right, Like, just keep that in mind.

1686
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 2: I know they got squashed, but to think like Mahomes

1687
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 2: just sucks going forward, Like what are we doing? There's

1688
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 2: been far too much of that over the week where

1689
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 2: it's just, oh my gosh.

1690
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 3: They make it.

1691
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Sound like they'd be lucky to win ten games and

1692
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 2: challenge for the AFC West. It's like they've been in

1693
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,759
Speaker 2: the AFC title game seven straight years. Why are people

1694
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 2: just willingly selling their Chief stock. I'll buy it, man,

1695
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 2: I think this is time to buy some stock.

1696
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 5: I'm with you.

1697
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 6: I am one hundred percent with you. The same way

1698
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts was undoubtedly motivated by the Super Bowl loss

1699
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 6: to the Chiefs. I think Patrick Mahomes shares a similar

1700
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 6: furiosity after a game like that because it wasn't his fault.

1701
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 5: It really wasn't. Now.

1702
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 6: I understand he threw interceptions, but when you were under

1703
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 6: that level of duress. Throughout the course of a football game,

1704
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 6: you don't have very many good options, and I actually

1705
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 6: appreciate a quarterback who kind of goes for it. In

1706
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 6: a game like that. Nothing was going well for the Chiefs.

1707
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes was under consistent pressure, and it wasn't because

1708
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 6: he was making poor decisions or patting the ball in

1709
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 6: the pocket and.

1710
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 5: He was too slow.

1711
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 6: Nobody was getting open, and his offensive linemen were getting

1712
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 6: individually beat and giving up a tremendous amount of pressure.

1713
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 6: And so when that happens, you have to force a

1714
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 6: couple of bats throws to try to make something, to

1715
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 6: try to turn the tide, to try to grab a

1716
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 6: chunk play, to try to make something explosive happen.

1717
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 5: And like you said, Brian, this isn't the start of

1718
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 5: a decline.

1719
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 6: This was a really bad game in a really bad moment,

1720
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 6: which every single great player in the history of literally

1721
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 6: every sport has played a real bad game in a

1722
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 6: real bad spot.

1723
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 5: It's a part of being an athlete. It's the reason

1724
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 5: why we love.

1725
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:35,759
Speaker 6: Sports because there are no predictable outcomes. Now you may say, well,

1726
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,719
Speaker 6: when the officials are in the Chiefs pockets there are.

1727
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 6: It's like, Okay, if that were true, then the Chiefs

1728
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 6: would have won the Super Bowl, but they didn't, so

1729
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 6: that narrative falls on deaf ears. Now here's the reality.

1730
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 6: Brian and Jared, I know you feel similarly about the Chiefs.

1731
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 6: It really is like, until proven otherwise, this is right

1732
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 6: now the bar. They're setting the bar in the NFL,

1733
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 6: and those who can scrape up underneath it, well they'll

1734
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 6: be in contention in the AFC.

1735
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 5: But the Chiefs they've set the bar.

1736
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think you get to this point in

1737
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 4: Mahomes's career and like, what are we talking about here?

1738
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 4: It's the overreaction to one game. But then you get to, Okay, well,

1739
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 4: what are the Chiefs going to be next year? Probably

1740
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 4: the same team. They're gonna be a team that doesn't

1741
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 4: dominate the regular season because they don't need to, and

1742
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,520
Speaker 4: they're gonna be a team that shows up in January

1743
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 4: and they're the same nails defense with a great, elite

1744
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame.

1745
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 7: Quarterback that they've always had.

1746
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 4: And I think the overreaction is just the natural ebbs

1747
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 4: and flows of again, our sports media landscape, which is never, never,

1748
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 4: there's never any in between.

1749
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 7: It's either all to one side or all to the

1750
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 7: other side.

1751
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 4: Like you can't just objectively look at a game and say, yeah,

1752
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 4: the Eagles were better. The Eagles were the best team

1753
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 4: in the NFL this year, best roster in the NFL,

1754
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 4: probably should have been favored in the game, but they

1755
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 4: weren't because Mahomes is God and nobody. You know, if

1756
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 4: you think bet MGM made a lot of money on

1757
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 4: the game if the Eagles were a dog, imagine if

1758
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 4: the if the Chiefs were the dog, how much more

1759
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 4: money would have come in on Kansas City. Bet MGM

1760
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 4: actually did y'all a favor keeping Kansas City favored in

1761
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 4: the game, because I can't imagine.

1762
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 7: The overflow of money if Philly would have been the favorite.

1763
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 4: But I, like Brian, I just think this is this

1764
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,520
Speaker 4: is par for the course for our media landscape, Like we.

1765
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:39,799
Speaker 7: Just don't know how to react.

1766
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 4: It's always an overreaction, and I think the reaction to

1767
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 4: what we saw someday the Eagles were better than the Chiefs,

1768
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 4: but it doesn't mean the Chiefs are worse than the

1769
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 4: Texans or the Bills. I mean, I still if you

1770
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 4: line those teams up tomorrow and it was Chiefs Bills

1771
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 4: again in the AFC Title Game. I bet Kansas City

1772
01:25:58,080 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 4: again and they probably win again.

1773
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, And I think if they played the

1774
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 2: Super Bowl ten times between the Chiefs and the Eagles,

1775
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 2: do you think it would have gone the same way?

1776
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 2: Like the Eagles smack them around most of I don't

1777
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 2: think so.

1778
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 4: I read think more often than not, the Eagles would

1779
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,879
Speaker 4: have won. I don't know about forty to twenty.

1780
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 2: Two, right right, right exactly, Like maybe they win six

1781
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 2: out of ten, maybe they go six and four, But

1782
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 2: of those five other wins, if that's the number, they're

1783
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 2: not boat racing them. I just don't think it would

1784
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 2: be a consistent trend. But I also look at other teams,

1785
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 2: like take the Chiefs out of it. Think about the Broncos.

1786
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 2: Remember when the Broncos lost forty three to eight in

1787
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, they won the Super Bowl two years later,

1788
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like they had a good roster,

1789
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 2: and you look at the Chiefs roster. You get Rashie

1790
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 2: Rice back, You got Rashie Rice matched.

1791
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 3: With Xavier Worthy. That's pretty good.

1792
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:52,599
Speaker 2: You need a left tackle so Joe Toney can kick

1793
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 2: down to guard his natural position. You can run the

1794
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 2: ball more effectively. But defensively, you've got Chris Jones, Trent McDuffie,

1795
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 2: you got Spat, You've got a lot to work with.

1796
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 2: You just can't lose sight of that. I also think

1797
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 2: about this, does yours honest question? Does your top ten

1798
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 2: quarterback list to begin with Mahomes right now?

1799
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 3: Because mine still does?

1800
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1801
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 3: Absolutely right.

1802
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 2: So you got the best quarterback in the league. Yeah,

1803
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 2: he came off an all time stinker. But you're gonna

1804
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: sell your stock with the best quarterback in the league

1805
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 2: matched with Andy Reid and a legit roster. Okay, Okay,

1806
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 2: it's not the time to sell. What do you guys

1807
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:31,799
Speaker 2: think about Travis Kelcey?

1808
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 3: Has he done?

1809
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 2: He's got until March fourteenth, he's got one month to

1810
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 2: decide if he's gonna play next season.

1811
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 3: Does he run it back?

1812
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 5: I think you will.

1813
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 6: I think he will because I think Kansas City, you know,

1814
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:47,719
Speaker 6: to really finish off the point you just made about

1815
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:53,680
Speaker 6: the Chiefs, I think the Kansas City Chiefs campaign at

1816
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 6: the top of the NFL isn't even close to being finished.

1817
01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 6: And so Travis Kelcey, if he feels like he's got

1818
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 6: any tread left on the tire. You got to stick

1819
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 6: this out. I mean, he's got another year on the contract.

1820
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:11,560
Speaker 6: He is one of the most talented and devastatingly effective

1821
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 6: players when he's playing well. This season was a down year.

1822
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 6: Does he want to finish on a dour note? I

1823
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 6: don't think so. I think the competitive nature of of

1824
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 6: most athletes, but especially football players, is going to fuel

1825
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 6: him for one last offseason. And there's also somewhat of

1826
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,959
Speaker 6: a springboard, right that you're looking for when you're finishing

1827
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 6: your career and you're you're you're moving headlong into the

1828
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 6: next that that off ramp can be long.

1829
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 5: You know.

1830
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 6: Tom Brady, for example, after a career of greatness in

1831
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 6: the NFL, it it didn't feel like he came to

1832
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 6: the end as smoothly as people thought he would like.

1833
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 6: There was some speculation he would would retire. There was

1834
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 6: a retirement announcement, and then he came out of retirement

1835
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 6: to play one more season, and then it sounded like

1836
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 6: he was going to get right into the booth broadcasting,

1837
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 6: and he ended up taking a year and collecting himself

1838
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 6: before getting it to work with Fox. So I don't

1839
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 6: think he seems ready yet to me to move on

1840
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 6: from the game and move on to the rest of

1841
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 6: his life whatever whatever that'll look like.

1842
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think Kelsey will be back. I don't know.

1843
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 7: I mean, I think there's a lot of physical.

1844
01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 4: Limitations at this point. And he's owed seventeen million next

1845
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 4: year and guaranteed money.

1846
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:38,560
Speaker 7: Like that's a lot.

1847
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 4: And I think that's that's gonna be the question that

1848
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 4: the Chiefs have because they do have some retooling to do,

1849
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 4: and maybe they ask him to restructure and they and

1850
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 4: they get something a little bit cheaper. It sounded like,

1851
01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 4: and I know they played the clip during our commercials

1852
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 4: of the New Heights where he was kind of talking

1853
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 4: about I think it was on Dan Patrick's show. It

1854
01:29:58,160 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 4: sounded like he had a lot of things to work through.

1855
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 4: So and again, I don't I don't know what the

1856
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 4: answer is. I don't know what he's thinking. I think

1857
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:09,680
Speaker 4: he has such a bright media career in front of him,

1858
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 4: Like at what point do you say, Okay, physically I'm

1859
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 4: not the same player that I was, and obviously I

1860
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 4: can't compete at that level anymore, but I can still

1861
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 4: make a lot of money doing a lot of other things.

1862
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 4: It doesn't me it'll be a very interesting decision. I

1863
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 4: do think if he does stay, the Chiefs have to

1864
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 4: figure out a way to restructure. So I don't think

1865
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 4: you can have seventeen million on the cap for a

1866
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 4: tight end who's over the hill.

1867
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 7: I just I think that's a lot.

1868
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 2: I hear both of you, and it's interesting because, look, man,

1869
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 2: the timing of this conversation, you got to take into account.

1870
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 2: It reminds me a lot of his old teammate, reminds

1871
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:45,719
Speaker 2: me a lot of Tyreek Hill. Remember after Week eighteen,

1872
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 2: Dolphins lose to the Jets of yeah, Tyler Huntley can't

1873
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 2: can't throw.

1874
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 3: The ball to Tyreek at all.

1875
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:57,720
Speaker 2: They missed the playoffs, and Tyreek's like, I gotta get

1876
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 2: out of here, right, And then you give it a

1877
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:03,600
Speaker 2: couple of weeks and he's like, nah, I kind of

1878
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 2: like Miami, I don't you know. And so with Travis Kelsey,

1879
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,719
Speaker 2: it'd be like be like going to the gym for

1880
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 2: at least a week straight and having these grueling workouts

1881
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 2: and then on the final day someone sticks a microphone

1882
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,679
Speaker 2: in your face and says, hey, how do you feel

1883
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,759
Speaker 2: right now? And you're just like, I'm spent, man, Gosh,

1884
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 2: everything hurts, everything aches, and I guarantee that's how Travis

1885
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:31,120
Speaker 2: Kelsey play it feels right now.

1886
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 3: And he did mention that it's tough.

1887
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 2: When he's not able to do the things that he

1888
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:38,599
Speaker 2: once was able to do, and that might be the

1889
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 2: honest reality where he does walk away because he's not

1890
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:45,519
Speaker 2: the same player anymore. But I also think the timing

1891
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,600
Speaker 2: of when he's making these comments you give it a

1892
01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 2: month fair and that might change a lot of what

1893
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 2: he thinks where you gotta gear up big time. That's

1894
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 2: a huge commitment to play one more year. But he

1895
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 2: might say I'm up for it, and I don't want

1896
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 2: to go out like that. I want to have one

1897
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 2: more year here. I would not be surprised at all

1898
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:06,719
Speaker 2: if he comes back. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

1899
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 7: Agree.

1900
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 2: But I think if you give it three four weeks,

1901
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 2: I think your perspective changes a lot.

1902
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 6: The Travis Kelcey conversation is a difficult one because you

1903
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 6: have to start bringing up almost the.

1904
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:22,560
Speaker 5: Mortality of an athlete.

1905
01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,599
Speaker 6: You die too, deaths when you're an athlete, and when

1906
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 6: you've tasted greatness like Travis Kelcey has gotten to enjoy

1907
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 6: over the course of his illustrious career. Yeah, there may

1908
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 6: be great things waiting for him in the wings, and

1909
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 6: the PostScript of his career in the NFL will parlay

1910
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 6: nicely into a media career. But there is nothing like

1911
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 6: putting on the shoulder pads and pulling the jersey over

1912
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:54,640
Speaker 6: those shoulder pads and belting up the chin strap and

1913
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 6: going out there with your brothers who you forged a

1914
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:03,679
Speaker 6: bond with over years and toil and fighting for each other.

1915
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,559
Speaker 6: It's the greatest part of the game. It's the part

1916
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 6: of the game that I miss the most, is the

1917
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 6: camaraderie and the laughter and the kinship and the family.

1918
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 6: You are leaving your family behind when you lay down

1919
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:24,719
Speaker 6: the sword for good. That's a really, really hard decision

1920
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 6: to make. And that's the reason why there's a lot

1921
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:30,679
Speaker 6: of tears and a lot of second thoughts when great players,

1922
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:32,680
Speaker 6: especially are moulling retirement.

1923
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's well said, and again, obviously speak to that

1924
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 4: because you know, other than my high school jersey, I

1925
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,679
Speaker 4: can't really I can't really relate too much.

1926
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:45,599
Speaker 2: But think about that, right, Jared, That feeling of it's

1927
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 2: over right, I remember taking from Think if you're still

1928
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,320
Speaker 2: playing at a high level, which Kelsey is not the

1929
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 2: same level, but still a high level. Yeah, and he's

1930
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:57,800
Speaker 2: still got something left in the tank. And you're making

1931
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 2: the decision to walk away from all of that. That

1932
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 2: that's that's really difficult.

1933
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 7: Here's my follow up.

1934
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,639
Speaker 4: Do you think his relationship with his brother and how

1935
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 4: his brother handed because let's be honest, I think a

1936
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 4: lot of people thought Jason might might come back one

1937
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:12,760
Speaker 4: more year and he decided not to.

1938
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 7: Do you think that situation plays a factor?

1939
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:18,640
Speaker 4: Like, hey, Jason, you know, maybe left the year to

1940
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,320
Speaker 4: her and think about it, he left the Eagles won

1941
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl right years later, Like, do do you

1942
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 4: think that decision affects Travis's decision at all?

1943
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:32,799
Speaker 6: It does, But also exactly what you just said, Jared,

1944
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:34,680
Speaker 6: that part of the conversation is going to come up

1945
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 6: to because he's going.

1946
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,599
Speaker 5: To talk to his brother Jason. They're they're close.

1947
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 6: I mean, they speak to each other, you know, and

1948
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 6: I understand like some of it's a business relationship, right,

1949
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 6: they're doing a podcast together. But when when like like us, right,

1950
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:52,080
Speaker 6: you know, on you're on this you're on this radio show.

1951
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 6: But because we're we're partners on air, we've become friends.

1952
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, these guys are partners for life. They're brothers, yea.

1953
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 6: And then they have this great excuse of doing this

1954
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 6: podcast together to stay in better touch than most siblings.

1955
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 6: And I guarantee he's bouncing things off a Hey, Jay,

1956
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,639
Speaker 6: you know, how did it feel watching your team win

1957
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl this year?

1958
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 5: Right?

1959
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 6: And you know, and when you start peeling back the

1960
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:20,719
Speaker 6: layers of that, and you know, man, I gotta tell you, Travis,

1961
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 6: that was that was tough.

1962
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:24,759
Speaker 5: You know. I wish I was out there still fighting

1963
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 5: with them.

1964
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 6: And who knows it, Maybe maybe Jason's in a better

1965
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,640
Speaker 6: headspace of that. Maybe he's one hundred percent over it.

1966
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 6: He's happy with this next evolution of his media career

1967
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:37,680
Speaker 6: now and he's having fabulous success and he deserves it

1968
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 6: because he's a supremely entertaining guy and a really talented orator.

1969
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:47,439
Speaker 6: But and it's a big butt. There is nothing, there

1970
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 6: is nothing that compares to the adrenaline rush you get

1971
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 6: when you achieve with a group of men that you've

1972
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 6: been fighting with for you know, and and you know,

1973
01:35:57,439 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 6: and obviously making a lot of sacrifices to do that.

1974
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 6: It's a whole different thing. So I'm very curious about

1975
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 6: that conversation that Travis and Jase are going to have.

1976
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:07,759
Speaker 5: Jared, I think it's an important piece of this puzzle.

1977
01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 5: I get.

1978
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:09,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1979
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:10,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1980
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 2: Last thing I'll say about it is, you know, for

1981
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 2: anybody who's saying, hey, all these media, the opportunities that

1982
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 2: will come his way, they're still going to be there. Yeah,

1983
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 2: if he decides to play one more year, it's not

1984
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 2: like that just goes away. And look, I know the

1985
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 2: last two games, the super Bowl against the Eagles, the

1986
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:32,879
Speaker 2: game against the Bills, he didn't do much of anything.

1987
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 2: But the first game of the playoffs seven catches for

1988
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:38,560
Speaker 2: a buck seventeen and a touchdown against the Texans. You

1989
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, I think we're used to

1990
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 2: Kelsey playing at such a high level that we freak

1991
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 2: out a little bit too much when he has a

1992
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:47,679
Speaker 2: down game or two, or it's like this guy's washed.

1993
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1994
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 4: Last thing that goes back to the Mahomes discussion that

1995
01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 4: we just had, like one bad data point, it's over,

1996
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 4: it's done.

1997
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 5: Back it up.

1998
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guy can still play. What do you say,

1999
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 2: real fast, Jared? Coming back or retiring?

2000
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 7: What do you think you're retiring?

2001
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:04,679
Speaker 3: What do you say rich coming back?

2002
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 5: I think he'll come back.

2003
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 4: I think he's coming back, but we'll see friendly mean,

2004
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 4: maybe go on tour with Taylor for a few months.

2005
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 7: I don't even know if they're on tour.

2006
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:20,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, we got Rich Jornberger, Penn State

2033
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 2: but there's a basketball team that kind of plays like

2034
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 2: a football team. That would be your Houston.

2035
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:37,559
Speaker 3: Cougars mp man.

2036
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 2: They play a physical style of basketball on the road

2037
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,040
Speaker 2: at Arizona today in Houston they are two and a

2038
01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 2: half point road favorites.

2039
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 3: How about that right there.

2040
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:51,160
Speaker 2: But if you love physical basketball and you love defense,

2041
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 2: Houston is your squad because they get after it in

2042
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 2: both categories.

2043
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Koug's taking on the Cats.

2044
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:02,679
Speaker 6: Wildcats havn't lost in their home arena yet this season,

2045
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 6: so being road favorites, it's it's it's quite the statement.

2046
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 6: But like you said, Houston dictates how these games go.

2047
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 6: Kelvin Sampson's team is an incredibly stifling defensive squad. And

2048
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 6: then also if you look at their offensive numbers, they're

2049
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:27,680
Speaker 6: not gaudy, but it's because of this reason. They like

2050
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 6: to dribble and pass. They really like to take their time,

2051
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:34,920
Speaker 6: they choose their shots, they find the open man, and

2052
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 6: they they will slow a game down. It's just like

2053
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 6: it's just like, I mean, think about think about any

2054
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 6: team in the NFL with a great run, run game, right,

2055
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 6: with a great ground game, what do they want to do.

2056
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 6: They want to get an early lead and then they

2057
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 6: want to take the air out of the football. They

2058
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:54,680
Speaker 6: want to run it. They want to have you know,

2059
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 6: these sixteen play drives where it's.

2060
01:39:57,200 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 5: You know, three or four yards out of time.

2061
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 6: Maybe a couple of explosive plays, but they're just gonna

2062
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:06,679
Speaker 6: grind you down. And that is exactly what this Houston

2063
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 6: Cougar's team does on a basketball court. And it is

2064
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:13,719
Speaker 6: a very different way of playing basketball, especially in today's game,

2065
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 6: where you see a lot of high flying offenses, a

2066
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 6: lot of tempo, a lot of three point perimeter shooting.

2067
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,479
Speaker 5: That is not what Houston does.

2068
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 6: They play stifling defense and they slow the game down

2069
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 6: on the offensive side of the court.

2070
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Houston being a road favorite here, I think kind

2071
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 4: of speaks to the prowess that the market gives them.

2072
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 4: Zona coming off a really bad loss to Kansas State.

2073
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 4: Caleb Love was just non existent. Zona's had a really

2074
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 4: up and down year. Non conference not so great. They

2075
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 4: were six and five. They got blown out by Duke

2076
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:49,759
Speaker 4: at home. They blew a fourteen point lead to UCLA.

2077
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 4: Lost that Wisconsin a lot one hundred and three points

2078
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 4: and forty seven free throw attempts in that game. Can

2079
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 4: we get that kind of game today between Wisconsin and

2080
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 4: Produce and so we're on the over lost to Westford

2081
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:00,799
Speaker 4: Ginian overtime.

2082
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 7: That was when Tucker DeVries was still healthy.

2083
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 4: So Zona just kind of slept, walked through the non

2084
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 4: conference and all of a sudden, big twelve play explosion.

2085
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 4: Only losses were at Texas Tech and then the game

2086
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 4: they just lost at Kansas State, which snapped that six

2087
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 4: game win streak.

2088
01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 7: Zona's got the two alphas.

2089
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 4: Kleb Love is a stud, fearless, It's got almost a

2090
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:22,000
Speaker 4: thirty percent usage rate. And I really like the point

2091
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 4: guard TJ. Bradley, great perimeter defender. I think both of

2092
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 4: those guys work really well off each other. It is

2093
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 4: an elite backcourt. Houston can just suffocate you defensively. Now

2094
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 4: here's the difference between this year's Houston and last year's Houston,

2095
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 4: which was a number one seed and expected to go

2096
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:38,600
Speaker 4: to the Final four. They ended up losing in the

2097
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 4: sweet sixteen to Duke. That was the game Jamal Shed

2098
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:45,679
Speaker 4: got hurt. But this year's Houston team's significantly better shooting team,

2099
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 4: and I think that's why they're more equipped to make

2100
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:50,640
Speaker 4: a run to the Final four this year. We know

2101
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 4: they like to slow it down. We know Arizona likes

2102
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:56,679
Speaker 4: to play fast. Arizona is a transition team. Well, Houston

2103
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:57,839
Speaker 4: really defends the transition.

2104
01:41:57,920 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 8: Well.

2105
01:41:58,200 --> 01:41:59,959
Speaker 7: I think this is a bad matchup for Arizona.

2106
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 4: I mean, unless Caleb Love rekindles the magic and does

2107
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 4: the exact opposite of what he did in the last

2108
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 4: game at Case State, which is score six points and

2109
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 4: almost put up a bagel. I do think we're gonna

2110
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 4: see a very aggressive Houston offense here.

2111
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 7: Get some early shots.

2112
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 4: They can make those shots, and I'll be honest, I

2113
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:21,679
Speaker 4: really like Houston in this spot. I think the fact

2114
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 4: that they're favored in the game makes me believe they're

2115
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:26,600
Speaker 4: going to win the game. I know that sounds really simplistic,

2116
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:28,759
Speaker 4: but when you're on the road in conference play High Major,

2117
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:31,680
Speaker 4: usually that home team, like we're sawing with Kentucky and

2118
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 4: Texas tonight, right, Like Kentucky's the better team, but Texas

2119
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:36,879
Speaker 4: is favored at home. Not the case with Houston in Arizona.

2120
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:39,720
Speaker 3: I'll give you two comparisons. You tell me if you

2121
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:41,840
Speaker 3: like it. You know what is it? The old line

2122
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 3: from Anchorman.

2123
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 2: If you don't like it, just send it back my way.

2124
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 3: Caleb Love reminds me of j R.

2125
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 5: Smith.

2126
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 2: Oh the NBA player, just streaky shooter. Caleb Love. When

2127
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 2: he's feeling it, he is, He's lights out. When he's

2128
01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:01,519
Speaker 2: not feeling it like JR. Smith, it's like, oh he's.

2129
01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 3: Cold right now.

2130
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:07,240
Speaker 2: These cold so which Caleb Love shows up is a

2131
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 2: big deal for today's game. And Houston, they remind me

2132
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 2: sit down for this one. They remind me of.

2133
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 3: The Legion of Boom right.

2134
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:17,320
Speaker 5: They think about.

2135
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 2: Seattle really like they would just push the envelope as

2136
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 2: much as they could. Richard Sherman, he's getting his hands

2137
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:27,720
Speaker 2: on the wide receiver. It's almost like daring the officials

2138
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 2: to make a call. And if they're not making calls,

2139
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:34,839
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, game on. You guys are screwed. And Houston,

2140
01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 2: how physical they are defensively? The whistles could make a

2141
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:42,639
Speaker 2: big impact in this game. Because Arizona has the top

2142
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:45,680
Speaker 2: offense in the Big Twelve, You've got Houston with the

2143
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:46,760
Speaker 2: top defense in the.

2144
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:48,560
Speaker 3: Big Twelve and in the country.

2145
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 2: And if the officials are a little lax with the

2146
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 2: whistles and they're allowing physical play, that.

2147
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:57,800
Speaker 3: Is a huge deal for Houston. It's just like the

2148
01:43:57,880 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 3: Legion of Boom.

2149
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 2: The more they get away with them, the more they're

2150
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 2: going to just suffocate you. And so if the whistle,

2151
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 2: if it's on the side of Arizona, that's a big

2152
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 2: thing to watch in today's game, huge impact.

2153
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, if Arizona wants to win this game, I think

2154
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:16,559
Speaker 6: what they're gonna need to do, because I agree with

2155
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 6: what you said about Caleb Love, is they're gonna have

2156
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 6: to loosen.

2157
01:44:20,080 --> 01:44:20,679
Speaker 5: Up the paint.

2158
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,599
Speaker 6: So they're gonna need to get the ball into open

2159
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:27,679
Speaker 6: looks on the wings, hit some perimeter shots, get Houston

2160
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 6: out of the paint a little bit, give him a

2161
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 6: little room to cook. And that transition offense is going

2162
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 6: to be really important if they can get to the rim.

2163
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:41,720
Speaker 6: Like you said, Houston's really good in transitions, so that's

2164
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 6: gonna be a tall task. But you got to generate

2165
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:47,400
Speaker 6: turnovers and test that theory. But in your half court offense,

2166
01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:49,960
Speaker 6: you have got to hit shots from the perimeter in

2167
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 6: order to give Caleb Love some room. Now, Houston, I mean,

2168
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:56,360
Speaker 6: we know how they have success. They have to play

2169
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 6: their stifling branded defense and they have to control the

2170
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 6: pace of play.

2171
01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 5: So if you're looking for a play, I like the

2172
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 5: under here.

2173
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 6: I think that we see because Arizona we talked a

2174
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 6: lot about their offense, pretty good defensive team, two metrically,

2175
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 6: so two defensive teams, one who really likes to dribble

2176
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 6: the basketball in Houston.

2177
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 5: Give me the under on this one. Yeah.

2178
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 4: I think this is an easy correlated play. If you

2179
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 4: like Arizona, you bet the over on Caleb Love props.

2180
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 4: For example, Arizona money line parlayed with Caleb Glove over

2181
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:30,880
Speaker 4: two and a half May threes is almost three to one.

2182
01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 4: I just don't see a world where Arizona wins the

2183
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:37,600
Speaker 4: game and Caleb Love doesn't have a good game. Like

2184
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:40,559
Speaker 4: There's just not a lot of scenarios where that takes place.

2185
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 4: So you correlate those bets together. If you like Arizona,

2186
01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:47,240
Speaker 4: you probably like an over. If you like Houston, you

2187
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:50,160
Speaker 4: probably like an under. If you like Arizona, you probably

2188
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:52,839
Speaker 4: like Kayleb loves props to go over. If you like Houston,

2189
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 4: you probably like Kleb loves props to go under. Just

2190
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:57,559
Speaker 4: the way to kind of spice up the game a

2191
01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 4: little bit. I think I'd pick Houston in the game thing.

2192
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:01,639
Speaker 4: If you can find a cheap money line on Houston.

2193
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 4: I saw minus one thirty out there. I think that's

2194
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 4: the way I would bet it straight up. But I

2195
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,759
Speaker 4: do like the correlated parlay with Kleb Love going over

2196
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:12,000
Speaker 4: and Arizona winning or opposite, if that's your.

2197
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 7: Cup of tea today.

2198
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 4: It just like I was looking at the two losses

2199
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 4: for the Big Twelve this year with Arizona zero for

2200
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 4: seven from three oh five from three for Kaleb Love.

2201
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:22,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, like it just it seems like it's low hanging fruit.

2202
01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 4: If Kaleb Love shoots it well from outside, Arizona's probably

2203
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 4: gonna win, and the opposite if they lose.

2204
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 2: One other thing is this is great Houston. Seventy is

2205
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 2: the magic number defensively, so when they allow opponents to

2206
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 2: score more than seventy points, they're one in four.

2207
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 5: Wow.

2208
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 3: If they hold opponents to under seventy points, they're nineteen

2209
01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:44,360
Speaker 3: and oh.

2210
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 2: So wow, like the number one offense in the Big Twelve,

2211
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 2: that's the Arizona Wildcats. Can they score seventy because they

2212
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 2: if they can get to seventy, they're live. You know,

2213
01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 2: they're absolutely live in this game. But that's gonna be difficult.

2214
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 2: It reminds me a bit of a game tomorrow. I'm

2215
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,799
Speaker 2: excited for this one crazyton at Saint John's. Saint John's

2216
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 2: plays a similar style to Houston. They're they're tough, you know, rebounding, toughness, defense,

2217
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:12,719
Speaker 2: and so it's a bit of a clash of styles

2218
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:15,839
Speaker 2: with Creighton. Who man, they can score from the perimeter,

2219
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,519
Speaker 2: they can fill it up. But I'm excited for that

2220
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,840
Speaker 2: game tomorrow too. And I love these physical teams. It's

2221
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 2: not just today and tomorrow to watch, but as we

2222
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:28,719
Speaker 2: get closer to March Madness, these physical, defensive oriented teams.

2223
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 2: How much do they get away with in terms of

2224
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:34,559
Speaker 2: physical play because not every officiating crew is the same.

2225
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 2: But it's something to watch today with Houston, it's something

2226
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:38,839
Speaker 2: to watch tomorrow with Saint John's.

2227
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, with Saint John's, well, I should say, really with

2228
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:45,840
Speaker 6: with Creighton, what you need to do is use Saint

2229
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 6: John's aggressiveness against them. So, as you mentioned, Creighton better

2230
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:54,840
Speaker 6: perimeter shooting team, but also you gotta find ways to

2231
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 6: drive the lane to get Saint John's some of their

2232
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 6: their rim defenders into trouble. If you start making a

2233
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:06,479
Speaker 6: little bit easier to score from inside, well you've got

2234
01:48:06,479 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 6: a second half where you have a softer lane. So

2235
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 6: to me, this is one of those games where you

2236
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 6: know you gotta take some chances getting into the paint

2237
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 6: early in this game, try to draw some.

2238
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:20,879
Speaker 5: Fouls, hit your shots.

2239
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 6: Obviously, if you have an open three, look take them

2240
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:27,440
Speaker 6: up on that offer, you know, because they're good from outside.

2241
01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 5: But but you want to try to find a.

2242
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:34,559
Speaker 6: Way to use a strength of your opponent as a

2243
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 6: potential liability.

2244
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:38,479
Speaker 5: And I think Creyton could could exploit that.

2245
01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:41,679
Speaker 7: What a great year for Rick Patino man.

2246
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we're gonna be talking about Satan the Johnny's

2247
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 4: in March. They are a force defensively. I love Kadaria Richmond.

2248
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 4: We've seen him in the tournament before with Seaton Hall.

2249
01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 4: You had that great run a couple of years ago.

2250
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 4: They just do everything well. They're just again a well

2251
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:00,559
Speaker 4: coached team in a tough conference that play is really

2252
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 4: solid basketball. They played Creighton tough in Omaha about two

2253
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 4: months ago. This was actually New Year's Eve in Omaha,

2254
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:09,640
Speaker 4: and they lost by a point, so it was a

2255
01:49:09,680 --> 01:49:11,960
Speaker 4: tight game. It was a low scoring game, both teams

2256
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 4: coming off losses. I do like this Creighton team a lot.

2257
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 4: I actually watched this Creighton team in person back in November.

2258
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
Speaker 4: They were in Vegas. They played a really tight game

2259
01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 4: against Texas A and M. Really good game actually, and

2260
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 4: you just see the physicality of Creighton with Kalkbrenner in

2261
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 4: the middle, I mean he is just a force and

2262
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:31,240
Speaker 4: Ashworth on the outside. Stud Pop Isaacs was a tough

2263
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:34,680
Speaker 4: loss for them. The Texas Tech transfer got hurt midseason,

2264
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 4: but they've played well since again. That lost to Yukon

2265
01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 4: on Tuesday. That's the first loss they've had since January third.

2266
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 4: I mean they've played again. Their losses this year. They

2267
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 4: lost to Yukon, they lost a Marquette, tough game at Georgetown,

2268
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 4: got blown out. Georgetown's been better this year. Lost, Obama

2269
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:52,639
Speaker 4: lost to A and M lost to San Diego State.

2270
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,519
Speaker 4: I mean these are all top fifty tournament type teams.

2271
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,559
Speaker 4: So you just haven't seen a whole lot of dip

2272
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 4: with Creighton's level, despite the at that pop Isaacs was,

2273
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:03,559
Speaker 4: you know, the starting point guard. Great, great player. So

2274
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 4: I do think this is gonna be a battle. Feels

2275
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:07,760
Speaker 4: like a low scoring game. Looks like the total is

2276
01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 4: gonna be around one forty. Saint John's will be about

2277
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 4: a four to five point favorite. That's kind of where

2278
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 4: Ken Palm has the game. I haven't really dived into

2279
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 4: the numbers yet on it, but I would lean Saint

2280
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:20,919
Speaker 4: John's because I just think they're just a better defensive

2281
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:22,400
Speaker 4: team and I think at home Maype got a.

2282
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 7: Little bit of an edge. You get the revenge angle

2283
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:24,760
Speaker 7: as well.

2284
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:28,639
Speaker 2: Man, That's the thing you mentioned Kalkbrenner down low, how

2285
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 2: many how many shots he impacts or like nullafies not

2286
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,479
Speaker 2: just blocking them, but dudes will be driving toward the

2287
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:39,560
Speaker 2: basket and they're like, yeah, let's go with Plan B.

2288
01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 2: Not shooting right now, not a good option. But I

2289
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:48,439
Speaker 2: mean he he really helps that defense overall, because Steven

2290
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 2: Ashworth is not a defender, you know what I mean.

2291
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:54,240
Speaker 2: He's an undersized guard who can shoot it like crazy,

2292
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 2: but he's not a defensive player.

2293
01:50:56,280 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 3: But Kalkbrenner. Man, he helps Creighton's defense so much.

2294
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 2: I would love to see a stat We're all about

2295
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:06,479
Speaker 2: stats and stats and stats, but the amount of just

2296
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,839
Speaker 2: changed shots right where you a guy.

2297
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:11,639
Speaker 3: Will literally go up to shoot it.

2298
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 2: It's not a block, but he has to alter his

2299
01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 2: shots so significantly to just get it on the rim.

2300
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 2: You know, there should be a stat for that, right

2301
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:23,599
Speaker 2: if there should be Like these guys like yeah Wemby

2302
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:27,400
Speaker 2: or Anthony Davis in the league, or you know, like Kawkbrenner,

2303
01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 2: they affect shots, they change shots, they affect misses, and

2304
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:35,320
Speaker 2: they don't get any credit for that stats wise. I

2305
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:38,400
Speaker 2: would love to see that changed. But man, he does

2306
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:40,760
Speaker 2: if it doesn't show up in the stat sheet, he

2307
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:44,440
Speaker 2: he changes a lot of shots and helps Creyton's defense massively.

2308
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:46,680
Speaker 5: I love that you brought that up.

2309
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:49,840
Speaker 6: I really do, because when I watched Creighton earlier in

2310
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 6: the season against San Diego State, I was thinking the

2311
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:56,640
Speaker 6: same exact thing. Where they're dangerous is say you have

2312
01:51:56,680 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 6: a shooter who's really good, you know, twelve foot twelve

2313
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:02,559
Speaker 6: feet are in you know, or even fifteen feet are in.

2314
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 6: If you have a a a defender who can who

2315
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 6: can affect shots inside the paint from from a rim

2316
01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 6: protectors standpoint, where guys are taking shots from mid range.

2317
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:19,160
Speaker 6: Meanwhile they're better under the hoop. Well that helps you

2318
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 6: if you have a perimeter defender who is in the

2319
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:26,439
Speaker 6: face of perimeter shooters. Somebody goes up for three to

2320
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:29,519
Speaker 6: have a hand in their eyes, like, it's it's difficult

2321
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:33,680
Speaker 6: to sink those shots. So it's it's like, how what

2322
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 6: would be a metric that you could compare to, like

2323
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:36,759
Speaker 6: QB hurries.

2324
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, you know, like sure you know if

2325
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 3: you look.

2326
01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:43,559
Speaker 5: At at blocks as sacks.

2327
01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, obviously you're completing the act.

2328
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 5: I mean it changed.

2329
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:51,080
Speaker 6: It's it's a it's an attempted shot it gets knocked down,

2330
01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 6: or it's a quarterback getting tackled to the ground and

2331
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 6: it's a loss of yardage. But how many times is

2332
01:52:56,040 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 6: that quarterback harassed during the course of the game and

2333
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 6: what effect does that have on the passing game in

2334
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 6: terms of timing with his receivers, rhythm of the throw,

2335
01:53:06,280 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 6: ability to throw from a stable platform. Well, same thing

2336
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 6: in basketball. If a guy is trying to shoot from

2337
01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:14,880
Speaker 6: eight foot and he has to pull up at twelve,

2338
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:18,640
Speaker 6: well maybe he hits iron instead of net. So I

2339
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:22,760
Speaker 6: think that's a really great metric that somebody should look into.

2340
01:53:22,880 --> 01:53:24,559
Speaker 6: I mean, it would take a long time to break

2341
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:26,639
Speaker 6: that down and somebody will look into it.

2342
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 5: Well.

2343
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 4: It's funny because you know Pro Football Focus does the

2344
01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:32,840
Speaker 4: pressures thing, and then other sites have started to do

2345
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:36,599
Speaker 4: the pressures metric and there's always a difference, like there's

2346
01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:39,200
Speaker 4: always a little bit of a discrepancy because sometimes it's

2347
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 4: close and you know it's a it's a it's kind

2348
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 4: of a call. But the Big East, I think this

2349
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:47,640
Speaker 4: is a showcase game for a conference that really is underrated.

2350
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:50,680
Speaker 4: They are the fourth best conference in America this year

2351
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:53,000
Speaker 4: it's SEC, Big Ten, Big twelve and then Biggie the A.

2352
01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:55,600
Speaker 4: SEC is having a down year. So these are the

2353
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:58,400
Speaker 4: two other than Yukon obviously two time Defenny champs, but

2354
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:00,439
Speaker 4: they're having a bit of a down year too with with.

2355
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:01,479
Speaker 7: The with what they lost.

2356
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:04,640
Speaker 4: These are I think the two best teams in what

2357
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:07,280
Speaker 4: is a very underrated conference and a conference that really

2358
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:08,639
Speaker 4: could create some noise in March.

2359
01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:12,479

Speaker 6: and I'm so mad that I didn't pay off the

2377
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:00,560
Speaker 6: Mayo bet last year because I'm at the top of

2378
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:02,840
Speaker 6: the board. I mean, I should be in the house.

2379
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,640
Speaker 6: I should be getting fitted for my jacket. Instead, I'm

2380

2416
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:54,200
Speaker 4: it's more the term will be at the end of

2417
01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:56,920
Speaker 4: week zero. Week zero of college football will be the

2418
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:59,640

2419
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 4: just like last year.

2420
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:02,840
Speaker 3: Okay, that's exactly what.

2421
01:57:02,760 --> 01:57:04,600
Speaker 7: We did last years. Is that all in agreement? We

2422
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:06,400
Speaker 7: can we can figure out this the terms later.

2423
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 2: We need to figure out the terms, right freaking out?

2424
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 7: I think of anything better than Mayo.

2425
01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:14,200
Speaker 3: Mayo and the coffee. It's a staple.

2426
01:57:14,440 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, I would be down that mayonnaise.

2427
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:18,640
Speaker 5: Man.

2428
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you if you're finally last and it's there's

2429
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:23,880
Speaker 2: no Mayo in the coffee.

2430
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys have been You guys are trying to

2431
01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:27,600
Speaker 4: get me to drink Mayo my coffee for three years now.

2432
01:57:27,600 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 4: All right, here we go. I'm taking Boise State. This

2433
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 4: is an Orenburger special. I'm taking Boise State plus two

2434
01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 4: and a half at San Diego State. Love the Road,

2435
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 4: Revenge spot Boys. He lost at home earlier this year.

2436
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:38,960
Speaker 4: San Diego State shot really well in that game. They're

2437
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,040
Speaker 4: not a great shooting team.

2438
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 5: Boys.

2439
01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 4: He's been good on the road, one at u n LV,

2440
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:44,120
Speaker 4: one at Wyoming, one at San Jose State, even the

2441
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 4: match teams.

2442
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:45,560
Speaker 7: I'll take the points.

2443
01:57:45,760 --> 01:57:48,240
Speaker 4: I love the over in this Purdue Wisconsin game, but

2444
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:50,760
Speaker 4: I like the Braiden Smith asist prompt more so I'll

2445
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 4: give you Braiden Smith.

2446
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 7: Over seven and a half assis. It's still even odds

2447
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 7: over at that MGM.

2448
01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:56,720
Speaker 4: It was plus once ti earlier when we gave it out,

2449
01:57:56,880 --> 01:57:58,560
Speaker 4: so we've seen a little bit of buye on that

2450
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 4: ten games this year with double d assist.

2451
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 7: I think the triple double is in play for brat

2452
01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 7: Smith today.

2453
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 4: Shooters shoot at home better, and I think the assists

2454
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 4: you gotta have the shots go in. So I think

2455
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:11,000
Speaker 4: the assist prop being at Mackie makes a whole lot

2456
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 4: of sense there.

2457
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:12,920
Speaker 7: And I think Mama wins tonight.

2458
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:14,720
Speaker 4: I'll take them on the money line minus won twenty

2459
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:15,960
Speaker 4: cheap money line price there.

2460
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:16,440
Speaker 5: For Bama.

2461
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 4: It's a little bit of buy on Auburn today, but

2462
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:20,160
Speaker 4: I think the home cooking and tuscle loose against the

2463
01:58:20,160 --> 01:58:20,880
Speaker 4: Crimson Tide home.

2464
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:24,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I'll start there, Jared, because that total

2465
01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:26,360
Speaker 6: is up over one hundred and seventy.

2466
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,320
Speaker 5: I think it's one seventy two and a half.

2467
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:33,520
Speaker 6: I would take the over probably up to one seventy five.

2468
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 6: I think this is gonna be an absolute track, mate.

2469
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:41,080
Speaker 6: It's a race to one hundred for both of these squads. Now,

2470
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:42,760
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take an under on a different game we

2471
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:44,160
Speaker 6: talked about a little bit earlier.

2472
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 5: On the Houston Cougars. I think they control the clock.

2473
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 6: I think that they're gonna look to really slow this

2474
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:55,400
Speaker 6: game down against the Wildcats on the road. They're favored.

2475
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:58,480
Speaker 6: I like them on the money line. I also like

2476
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:02,160
Speaker 6: the under, so Ston Kruger's money line, give me the

2477
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 6: under one thirty eight.

2478
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:05,760
Speaker 5: I believe the total is at right now.

2479
01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:08,240
Speaker 6: I would probably take the under all the way down

2480
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 6: to one thirty five.

2481
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:12,840
Speaker 5: I think this is gonna be a time of possession

2482
01:59:12,880 --> 01:59:13,879
Speaker 5: basketball game.

2483
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 7: All right.

2484
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:15,760
Speaker 3: I'm on a couple of dogs here.

2485
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:19,520
Speaker 2: Gimme coach Cal and the Razorbacks plus eight and a

2486
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 2: half bat a and m. Yeah, big number, and they've

2487
01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:25,000
Speaker 2: they've been a covering machine as of late.

2488
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 3: This is a common theme with Cal's teams.

2489
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:31,640
Speaker 2: Right, they start to gel and start to hit their stride.

2490
01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 2: So I'll take them plus eight.

2491
01:59:32,560 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 7: And a half.

2492
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:36,480
Speaker 2: This line, I just I'm gonna go on the with

2493
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:38,240
Speaker 2: the Knowles here. Give me them plus four and a

2494
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:42,240
Speaker 2: half versus Clemson. It just seems like a low number.

2495
01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:45,120
Speaker 2: Clemson has played well as of late. Big upset against Duke.

2496
01:59:45,400 --> 01:59:49,920
Speaker 2: I like the Knowles in this spot here and then listen,

2497
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:53,120
Speaker 2: far be it from me to go against the guy

2498
01:59:53,160 --> 01:59:54,480
Speaker 2: who had this epic comeback.

2499
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 3: Give me Bama on the money line as well.

2500
01:59:57,120 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 2: You know, I like the Crimson tide at home holder

2501
02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 2: like a track meet as well.

2502
02:00:01,880 --> 02:00:04,120
Speaker 3: Enjoy the hoops, everybody h
