1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Well that's right, you heard the man. It's that time

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: a week. My name is Bernie Frattle. We are compy

00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. Wait, you know you watched it.

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: Don't act like you didn't. And I know they'll be

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: the the gratuitous complaints, But the truth of the matter is,

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: we have a real college football playoff now. And I

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: know it's a little disjointed. Why is it the number

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: one seed Oregon who actually beat Penn State, Ohio State,

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: and Boise State, and of course all three of those

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: teams are in the tournament. Why is it that they

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: would ostensibly have a tougher path to the finals, and

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: say Penn State, who lost to there were only two

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: tournament opponents, Ohio State and the aforementioned Oregon. But here's

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: what makes this thing great. Let's not bury the lead.

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: It's going to be decided on the field and maybe

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: in future years. Maybe next year there can be some

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: tweaks like no buys, or maybe you recede after the

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: first round. But let's not do the ward on Lincoln's nose. Okay,

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: we've gone from one playoff game decided by a bunch

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: of writers and the felanx of mathematicians in the Seattle

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 2: Times that couldn't expland it themselves called the BCS remove

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: the Sea, and that's what you really had. Then that

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: graduated to the four team made for TV invitational tournament

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: that you heard me rail on over the years. But

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: now we're going to have eleven playoff games and yeah,

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: Indiana deserve to be there based on the criteria. Why

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: would you leave out at eleven and one team whose

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: only loss was at Ohio State? All right, and yes

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: they got hammered Thursday night, check that Friday night. But

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: what you think is the first time that a playoff

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: team has been hammered in any There have been many

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Super Bowls that were blowouts. So to imply that Indiana

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: didn't be there, it belonged there just because they got

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: stuffed by a pretty damn good Notre Dame team, that

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: doesn't change the narrative. It should not change the narrative

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: that this is a championship based type tournament where your

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: exploits on the field are going to be more valuable

43
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: than the perception and the interpretation from a bunch of

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: writers who watch the games on TV. Now, I do

45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: think there are going to be some takeaways here, all right.

46
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: The funniest thing about these big bloated conferences now is

47
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: that you're not going to have balance scheduling. And oh,

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: by the way, if you do, you're gonna have situations

49
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: like Rutgers where it's closer for them to fly to

50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: Europe than it is to fly if they have to

51
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: play the Washington Huskies. But the problem is going to

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: be scheduling that arises once these leagues all hit sixteen teams,

53
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: and Indiana is an excellent example of what can happen

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: with the perfect storm that comes from removing divisions and

55
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: randomizing schedules. Think about it. Indiana had a good year,

56
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: but they only played two teams in the top half

57
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: of the Big Ten. They barely beat Michigan twenty to fifteen,

58
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: and they got beat by twenty three at Ohio State.

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: But the only two losses they had and the only

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: games the Hoosiers didn't win by at least fourteen points,

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: but they were the only two teams in the top

62
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: half of the Big Ten that they played, So you

63
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: haven't in bounced schedule, and balancing a schedule is going

64
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: to be damn near impossible in college football given the

65
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: volatility of teams on a year to year basis, right,

66
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: So this is a weird deal. Both Indiana and Texas

67
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: had defending national champion Michigan on their schedule this year,

68
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: and they both registered wins over Michigan. That would be

69
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: a rank victory in most years, but this year, Michigan

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: was only seven and five. If they hadn't be a

71
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: hotbeat in Ohio State, we wouldn't be talking about them

72
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: right now so much. At the end of the day,

73
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: it would have been very bad for him to leave

74
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: Indiana out of the playoff. And we'll just leave it

75
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: right there, and if you want some takeaways going forward,

76
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: turns out Notre Dame's balance might be a real problem

77
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: for somebody. We'll see how they fare against Georgia on

78
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: New Year's Day. But if you've been watching Notre Dame

79
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: since they lost that game to Northern Illinois, they're one

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: of the top two or three teams in the countries

81
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: this week too. They've steamrolled all comers on their schedule.

82
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: Indiana was no exception. This was the added stakes of

83
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: a playoff game. I get it. But Indiana did enter

84
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: the game as the nation's second ranked run defense and

85
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: they allowed more yards I think of one hundred and

86
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 2: ninety three almost six yards per rush. That speaks to

87
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: me as to how good Noted Dame is not whether

88
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: or not Indiana should not have been there. And when

89
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: Jeremiah I Love turned the corner and took it to

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: the house for ninety eight, I said, Okay, this game's over.

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: That was not a slide in Indiana. Notre Dame's got

92
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of NFL players, Indiana does. They got a

93
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: bunch of damn good college players, a lot of them

94
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: who transfer from James Madison, who made the most of

95
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: their opportunity. And I like what sick Kurt Signetti has

96
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: brought to the college game. But as you know, Jeremiah

97
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: Love said, there's there's no place like Notre Dame. Riley

98
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: Leonard said the same thing. This is a championship caliber team.

99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: You know, I think the Georgia Notre Dame game might

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: be the de facto championship entrance to get into that game.

101
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: I still can't see anybody beating Norton, you know, And

102
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: I'll get to a preview later. You already know how

103
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: I'd feel about Penn State and such. But I think

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: this is going to be a chalky weekend as it

105
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: pertains to college football. But I do want to talk

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: about Thursday Night's NFL game because there's so much football

107
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: to get to. It's such a fun time of the year.

108
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 2: Give it up to our guy Jim Harbaugh, who pulls

109
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: a rule book rule out of his took us that

110
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: hasn't been employed successfully since nineteen seventy six, and in

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: doing so, you could argue that it completely changed the

112
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: tenor of the game Thursday Night against Denver and allowed

113
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: the Chargers to win. So let's set this up. And

114
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: by the way, in case you've been living under a

115
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: rocker mars, the Chargers beat the Broncos thirty four to

116
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven Thursday Night. And that you know, people complain

117
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: a lot about the Thursday night games in the schedule,

118
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: but that game featured two elements that would make for

119
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: a great football game. One certainly playoff implications. By winning,

120
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: the Chargers now tied Denver nine and six, and the

121
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: records are both nine and six in the standings, and

122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: they assure themselves of the tiebreaker, it will almost certainly

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: be a wildcard team. I give it, but give Jim

124
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: Harbaugh plenty of flowers for taking a five win team

125
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: and turning them into this. After what Brandon Staley did

126
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: last year, I got I miss him doing in that

127
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: cat crawl yoga move. Actually, no, I've don't at all.

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 2: That was stupid. Anybody that hires that guy again should

129
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: be first line from front of the botomy. That's the

130
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: story for a different day. But this is a team,

131
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: don't forget just a year ago.

132
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: Now.

133
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: They lost December fourteenth and gave up a sixty burger

134
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: to the Stinky Raiders. So hardball's taking this team a

135
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: long way, the Chargers. The second thing that made the

136
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: settlement is this obscure rule. In the Thursday night game,

137
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: one of the Chargers scores came with is something called

138
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: a fair catch free kick. It's basically a version of

139
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: a field goal that a team can attempt after any

140
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: fair catch. Now, it's rare for obvious reasons. Usually fair

141
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: catches happen well beyond the field goal range.

142
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: Right.

143
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: Also, teams prefer to drive for touchdowns more so than

144
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: kickfield goals. But the wrinkle that came into play on

145
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: Thursday night was that if no time remains after a

146
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: fair catch interference penalty, an offense can attempt an untimed

147
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: free kick. For what it's worth, any fair catch can

148
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: be followed by one of these kicks, but it's typically

149
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: only worth trying if you're in range and there's no

150
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: time on the clock and you have a reasonable field position.

151
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: So later, I'll be Harbaugh and I believe this dude,

152
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: he's that eccentric, says it's his favorite rule in football.

153
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: That play all but guaranteed. I believe the chargers of

154
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: the playoff birth. I'll get to that in a second.

155
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, yes, I knew the rule all right.

156
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: Doesn't make me smarter than you, Just mean I knew

157
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: that rule. It even includes a drop kick if just

158
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: so inclined, you could do a drop kick. In fact,

159
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: for you trivia buffs, I may do this on what

160
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: my name is Saturday night. The last successful drop kick

161
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL wasn't that long ago. It's by Doug Flutie.

162
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: He's playing for Bill Belichick's New England Patriots against the

163
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: Dolphins in two thousand and six. He did it with

164
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: a drop kick. So anyway, you know, after the game,

165
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: harball again re eight. It's his favorite rule. Here's the thing,

166
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not a body landage expert, but there

167
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: was a real shift in this Chargers win after that

168
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: fair catch kick at the end of the first half.

169
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: Because Herbert had thrown his second interceptions in his mini games,

170
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: the Broncos took over, throwing eighteen forty one seconds remaining.

171
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: The Chargers forced to stop, and on the ensuing plant,

172
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: the Broncos cornerback Tremont Smith interfered with a fair catch

173
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: of the punk returner happened to be Darius Davis. That

174
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: gave the Chargers an additional fifteen yards to work with.

175
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: So instead of a seventy two yard field goal, which

176
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: they would never done, Harbaugh said, what the hell, we

177
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: have nothing to lose. We try a fifty seven yard

178
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: place kick. Cameron dick or the kicker, nailed it. Nailed

179
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: it with room to spare. If you watch the body language,

180
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: the effect of that swing was completely evident. On the Chargers' sideline.

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: Several players, including Davis, were ten yards off the sideline

182
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: celebrating it. Dick Or jogged off. The kick revitalized the Chargers.

183
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: They outscored the Broncos twenty one to three in the

184
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: second half. The Chargers defense, by the way, in particular,

185
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: started to maybe find its form in the second half

186
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: after that fair catch kick. It just energized them, made

187
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: it a one possession game. The pass rush came alive,

188
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: the defense improved, and there was an energy that just

189
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: wasn't present in the first half. That's coaching, that's hardball,

190
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: and little things like that. Little things make a difference

191
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: that don't necessarily show up in the box score. Coming up,

192
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: We've got a legend, Jim Feist. I'm sure you know

193
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: who he is. The New York Times dubbed him a legend.

194
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: Larry King dubbed him a legend. He's a good friend

195
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: of mine. He's a legend here in Las Vegas. Who

196
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: are going to have us some real talk about the NFL.

197
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: We'll look ahead to Saturday's games, next week's games. Who

198
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: can you trust, who don't you trust? And how do

199
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: you make hide nor hair of handicapping? The NFL these

200
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 2: days with all the craziness going on. I'm Bernie Fraddle,

201
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: who comes to line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

202

Speaker 2: Tiret dot com Studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to

203
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

204
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

205
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: All right, back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

206
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: Come to live from the Tarrat dot com studios. It's

207
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: welcome and a gentleman, an absolute legend. The New York

208
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: Times dubbed him a legend many years ago. Subsequent to that,

209
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: he spent time with Larry King, sharing his expertise on

210
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: sports betting and brought Larry King out of the shadows.

211
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: And long before PASSPA was overturned in twenty eighteen, this

212
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: gentleman recognized as an interstry leader here in Las Vegas.

213
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: I would say this, he is still gambling and sports

214
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: betting what Clint Eastwood was to action movies. Say hello

215
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: to my good friend Jim Fis. Jim, it's so good

216
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: to have you on the night.

217
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you, Ernie. It's great to be here.

218
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: How are you doing well? And it's it's I got

219
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: to tell you do these panels and you're in your

220
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: around town. It's amazing how many people said, Jim, I've

221
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: live here twenty years. I've always wanted to meet you,

222
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: and for very good reason. So what I want to

223
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: do tonight is have a little fun and talk NFL.

224
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: In the second half, I want to run over. I

225
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: want to run through some teams and ask you who

226
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: can we trust anymore? But before we get to that,

227
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: in this day and angel handicapping, Jim, given the fact

228
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: that the numbers are so tight, the product is different.

229
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: I mean, there were fifty one turnovers last week and

230
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: that's the most in nine years. You've got inconsistent refereeing,

231
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: Instagram play, everything added all up, Jim, how has that

232
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: shaped how you handicap games now versus in the past.

233
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: Well, I think, boy, you that's a lot. That's a

234
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 5: big sentence with it's going to take a long answer. Basically,

235
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 5: your consonence Lebill has to go down a little bit

236
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: over a lot when you have a fifty one turn

237
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 5: I didn't realize was that many. Yeah, he's got a

238
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: lot of very inconsistent refereeing. And we we've always had

239
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 5: bad beats and bad refereeing. I mean it's it's normal function.

240
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: I mean, human beings make mistakes, but they're so inconsistent.

241
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 5: I mean, if you see things out there, you just

242
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 5: pull your hair out, scratch your head, you know whatever.

243
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 5: So I think you have to be very cautious. And

244
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 5: you know, if you're really putting real money on this stuff,

245
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: which we all know that a lot of us do,

246
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 5: I think you have to cut back a little bit

247
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 5: to some degree or to a lot just you know,

248
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 5: you're throwing your money up in the wind and you

249
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 5: hope it blows your direction. You got to be a

250
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: little bit more careful when when the product is so inferior.

251
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 5: We need to upgrade refereeing. We need to make it

252
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 5: more consistent. We need to have better coaching. Now you're

253
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 5: talking about the quarterbacking and Caleb being number four, Now

254
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: what is it? You know A lot has to do

255
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: with not his talent. I mean we all know he

256
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 5: can throw the ball, an you can run. He's very talented,

257
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 5: But it's the coaching. He has a bat system and

258
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 5: you got to be really unlucky to get the Chicago

259
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: Bears with what's going on over there, and when you

260
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 5: have somebody with Sean Payton, you got he's got a

261
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 5: good coach, and it has to do with coaching. I mean,

262
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 5: you know over in Washington they have good coaches and

263
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 5: Quinn's have been around a long time. Then you got

264
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: you're not just talking about the head coach and talking

265
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: about the quarterback coach. You're talking about training something. I mean,

266
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: some of these young guys have to go to to

267
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 5: a quarterback school in the offseason and learn from the

268
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 5: real pros about what they're doing wrong and let the

269
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 5: films break it down. And it's but the answer to

270
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: your question directly, if you're not comfortable what you're seeing

271
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 5: on the field, cut your bets down, be a little

272
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 5: bit more careful with what you're doing.

273
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: And I think that's always a major tenant for sports

274
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: betters who don't want to lose their money. Bank Roll

275
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: management is extremely important. It's always I think that at

276
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: the forefront, talk just a little bit about your theories

277
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: on bank roll management. For the casual.

278
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't think you should. I don't think you

279
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 5: should have any more than two or three percent of

280
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 5: your bank roll on anyone bet. It's just if you have,

281
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 5: if you have a thousand dollars a bankroll, you better

282
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: not risk five hundred dollars a play. It's not it's

283
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 5: not wise to do something like that. Then one hundred

284
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: dollars bank one hundred dollars bet is even too much.

285
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 5: I mean something like thirty or twenty or thirty dollars

286
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 5: for a thousand dollars bankroll would be sufficient. And then

287
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 5: you've got the number of bets you might be I mean,

288
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: if you go out there with thirty bets at twenty

289
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 5: dollars and there's your bank, that's a big part of

290
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: your bankroll. So you have to cut down on that

291
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 5: as well. You got to live within your means. I mean,

292
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 5: it's like any you can't you can't spend too much,

293
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: you can't risk too much. You have to be careful

294
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 5: you're going to run into I mean, you know, I

295
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 5: just went on a great streak in college basketball. I

296
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: was ten out of twelve. Then what happens the next night?

297
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 5: I go, oh three, So now I'm ten out of fifteen.

298
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 5: I mean, you're just it's just a natural. There's there's

299
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 5: a big randomness in what we do. And I've been

300
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: doing this six decades and to survive that long with

301
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: that kind of pressure, and there's there is a lot

302
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 5: of pressure because you're putting your money at risk every day.

303
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: I mean, most people go to work and or whether

304
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: they're making fifteen twenty dollars an hour or whatever it is,

305
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: they come home and they have that in their paycheck,

306
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: and you know at the end of the week, well,

307
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 5: in this business, whatever you earn today, you're putting back

308
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: at risk tomorrow. And it's a totally different mentality. You're

309
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: going to be almost like an Old West gunslinger because

310
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 5: you get shot down at any time.

311
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Talk with Jim Fife, legendary handy kapper recognize industry leader,

312
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: was on Larry King one of the one of the

313
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 2: more entertaining interviews I think I've ever seen in the New

314
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: York Times has called them a legend. We're lucky to

315
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 2: have him here in Vegas, and jim'son all around good

316
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: guy to have lunch with. I'll tell you so, Jim,

317
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: let's say that's before I go down there, our little

318
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: roll call of who can we trust. One of the

319
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: things I hear people say flippantly is that you know,

320
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: Vegas must like that, Vegas must I try to tell

321
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: people I'm gonna make a stay of me, and I

322
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: just want you to respond to it. I try to

323
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: tell people Vegas is not a monolith. We're not in

324
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: the prediction business. We're not in the fortune telling business.

325
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: The betting line is merely an instrument to create opportunities

326
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 2: for the sportsbook and minimize risk and maximize profit. The

327
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: market does the rest respond to that? So people can

328
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: understand that there's in some sort of magic crystal ball

329
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: Vegas ass.

330
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I had a long talk with Jake

331
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 5: Cornegie of that. He was on the show that I'm doing,

332
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 5: and you've been on. That sort of came up, not

333
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: not directly, but you know, they put up a number,

334
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: but that number is everywhere, and it's nobody's gonna You're

335
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: not going to see too many places that hang a

336
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 5: four and a half and hang a two and a half.

337
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 5: Most of the numbers are going to be pretty close together,

338
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 5: three two and a half, three and a half. But

339
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 5: since it's a live number, three, you're not going to

340
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 5: see too much deviation off of that. But what you're

341
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 5: what you're talking about is you're talking about mathematics that

342
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 5: make the number and public opinion. I mean, you go

343
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 5: back in the day where Bob Martin made the lines

344
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: from you know, back, you're going back a long time,

345
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 5: but I'm going back a long time into what I did.

346
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 5: It wasn't all done with computers and you know in

347
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 5: all the metrics and all the things that are they

348
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 5: were done. Yeah, it was well, they had power ratings.

349
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 5: But you put you put in Okay, what is the

350
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 5: public like the Well, the public likes this team. So

351
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: we're going to shade a way and make the public

352
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 5: have to pay a little extra price for the fact

353
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 5: that they love that team. I mean, maybe this year

354
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 5: it's can't Well at the beginning, it certainly was Kansas

355
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: City going back for the three pet They haven't lived

356
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 5: up to expectations. They win a lot, but they're not

357
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 5: winning impressively. So you know, the odds maker would would

358
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 5: would have a bias in there because of the public

359
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: wants to bet this side. But we're talking public now,

360
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 5: we're talking with Now we look at the Sharks. How

361
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: do the Sharks bet? The Sharks don't bet on teams.

362
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 5: They bet on numbers. They're looking, they're doing mathematical equations

363
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: and how they the yards for play yard you know everything,

364
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 5: passing yards, rushing yards, offensive line play coaching, biases, et cetera,

365
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 5: et cetera. They're betting on numbers. If they think the

366
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 5: numbers should be four and a half and it's only

367
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: and it's five and a half, they're gonna they're gonna

368
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 5: take develop and they don't care what name is next

369
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: to the number. They're just going by the numbers and

370
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 5: their analytics. And that's what they do today. And in

371
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 5: the old days, it wasn't so much the analytics. It

372
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 5: was more field.

373
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 6: It was more what did.

374
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 5: I see on the field? You know, on these how

375
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 5: they played. Now it's a lot more math because you've

376
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 5: got a lot more you got a lot more computers

377
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: involved in what's going on. So but in the old

378
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 5: days it was more field. Now it's still some field,

379
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 5: but there's still a lot of numbers in it.

380
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: Talking with Jim Feist, legendary gambler sports industry here in

381
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, let's start with the Chiefs. So this line

382
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: opens up. They're catching too. The presumption was Mahomes might

383
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: not play. The line swings all the way around to

384
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: the Chiefs minus three and a half. I understand exactly

385
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: what you're saying. In some sort of pythagorea in theorem world.

386
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: The Chiefs should not be thirteen and one, but they are.

387
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: And you know, the game is played by human beings.

388
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm one of the only people that still trust the Chiefs.

389
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Kansas City.

390
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 5: Chiefs, Well, they have a hell of a head coach.

391
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: And first of all, when this game opened up, it

392
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 5: was I saw one and a half, I saw two

393
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 5: to two and a half, and eventually I got the three.

394
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 5: Houston was three. I I bet Kansas City plus three

395
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 5: at that moment. Yeah, well, you know there was I

396
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 5: had no idea that Mahomes was going to play. I

397
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 5: expect them to be out. But here's what you got.

398
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 5: You've got a great defensive coordinator in Specs, You've got

399
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 5: a great head coach in Reed. You've got a pretty

400
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 5: damn good offensive line except for the left tackle, which

401
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 5: they've been playing around with, and you know that's been

402
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: a big problem. Why Mahomes has gotten hit as much

403
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 5: as he's had. I mean, they have adequate receivers, but

404
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 5: not great. They're getting Hollywood Brown backed the Chaco's in

405
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 5: the backfield. He makes he's a hammer and he makes

406
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 5: a big difference in the running game, and he has

407
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 5: missed a lot of games. So this is still a

408
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: winning team with optional coaching and an exceptional quarterback. Now

409
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,719
Speaker 5: you remove if he wasn't playing, you remove Mahomes and

410
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 5: you put in a backup, which happens to be Kent wins.

411
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: And he's had his days when he's been good, and

412
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 5: he's been very erratic, kind of like a Jameis Winston

413
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 5: wrote a lot of mistakes. But you know, still you're

414
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 5: betting on a team. It's sometimes Super Bowl champion at

415
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 5: home getting three points. So that's why I took it.

416
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 5: Now it's crazy. He comes, Mahomes comes back, he's practicing

417
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: the line stretch, moving and moving, and now you're looking

418
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 5: at Kansas City three, and I'm sure the bookmakers are

419
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 5: going crazy. They got they had Houston three, and now

420
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 5: they got the other side three and a half. So

421
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 5: they're in a very bad situation with this. If there

422
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 5: was enough play early on one side, now they're getting

423
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 5: a lot back on the other side. So it's not

424
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 5: a good situation for the book maker. And some guys

425
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 5: that were able to take both sides of it, they're

426
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: getting plus three on each side, and it's not a

427
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: bad situation.

428
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: No, no, And you don't see this very often, and

429
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: you mentioned Steve Spagnoan. I'm glad you did, because that's

430
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: what got me on the Chiefs. Their defense this year

431
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: has been the reason that there's a difference maker. They've

432
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: They've had twelve sacks in the last three weeks and

433
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: Texans have given up almost fifty sacks this year, fifth

434
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: most of the league. So I expect their pressure rate

435
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: to get to the other quarterback. And look, we've joked

436
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: about this Casey Stenego once said teams don't beat the

437
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: Yankees and gets stuck staring at the pinstripes. I think

438
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have that kind of a stequ when the

439
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: heat gets hot and it's hard to breathe late in

440
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: the game and you've got to make a player either side.

441
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: That combination of Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey and

442
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: the defense, they find a way to come up with

443
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: when they need to. Let's talk about the Steelers and Ravens.

444
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm not sold on the Ravens. I'm not sold on

445
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson unless it's October. By the way, he's zero

446
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: and five against Steve spagnolo defenses. Interesting game tomorrow. This

447
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 2: is a game that's notoriously close. What are you seeing

448
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: that with Warren Baltimore laying six and a half.

449
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 5: Well a their home b they have revenge. See they

450
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 5: have a very great running game with Henry En and Lamar.

451
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 5: But the problem here is you got Tomlin on the

452
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 5: other side. You got you know, you got the wats

453
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 5: Is coming back to play. They do lose the wide

454
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 5: receiver that can take the top off off the off

455
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 5: the defense and give Russell Wilson a chance to hit

456
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 5: some home runs down the field. That's a problem. And

457
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 5: you know this isn't the Russell Wilson of years ago

458
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 5: when he was a championship material at Seattle. He's marginal now,

459
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 5: but he's still good and there's a lot of very

460
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 5: not good quarterbacks in the league. So you know, in

461
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 5: that situation, he's probably in the top twelve out of

462
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 5: the full league. But taking the listening to court, losing

463
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 5: to the wide receiver like that, it's tough, but getting

464
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 5: watchback is. But the history of this, why can't Lamar

465
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 5: step up in big games? I don't know the answer

466
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 5: to that, except I guess the psychologist would say it's psychological.

467
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 5: And Tomlin has a way of beating this team, and

468
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 5: the games are I mean, I think twenty some twenty

469
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 5: five in the last fifty times, it's only been three

470
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 5: points or less. That's right, you know, it's it's pretty

471
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 5: absolutely amazing.

472
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: How cool the dog is thirteen and one of the last.

473
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 5: Fourteen, oh, I know, and Pittsburgh has won most of

474
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 5: those games, so straight up without the points, and it's

475
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 5: it's pretty amazing. Now you're you're looking at the six

476
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 5: and a half seven point line. I mean, I'm I

477
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 5: can't pass that up.

478
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 7: I got to be on the Dog, and I mean

479
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 7: I got I got a great coach in.

480
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 5: Tomlin, I got a you know, a better than average quarterback.

481
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: I've got a decent running game. I can control the ball.

482
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 5: I got a good defense. I mean, it's going to

483
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 5: be hard to beat this team on the road because

484
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 5: you're in a revenge situation. But you're talking at six

485
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 5: and a half seven points now, you know, Now you're

486
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 5: talking about a number game. Now you're betting the number.

487
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 5: I can't make it that high. If you made it

488
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 5: three and a half or four, I'd probably be scratching

489
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 5: my head and say, well, maybe I'm not going to

490
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 5: do anything with this. You know, but then I'm looking

491
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: at it to say, Okay, there's still a total look

492
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 5: at too. I mean, this is going to be a tough, physical,

493
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: normal physical game. You know the AFC, this North is tough.

494
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: It's always been a physical division. I'd probably have to

495
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 5: look at the under as well.

496
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely well, a lot of the majority of those games

497
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: I've gone under. And you've got a divisional game I'll

498
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: do North of November, and it's over forty five to total.

499
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: So that's a pretty strong train we're gonna we'll finish

500
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: up with this, Jim, let's flip to the In the NFC,

501
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: the Vikings are twelve and two, the Lions are twelve

502
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: and two, the Eagles are twelve and two. There's only

503
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: one buy this year. Who do you trust of those

504
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: three teams the most to be the one standing and

505
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: to buy a corner when the playoffs start?

506
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 5: Well, if you asked me that three excuse me, if

507
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 5: you asked me that three weeks ago, out of said Detroit.

508
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 5: I can't say that now because of the cluster injuries

509
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 5: they have on defense and losing there. They're very good

510
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 5: running back last week. I still like Detroit a lot,

511
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 5: and I think they're going to make a big effort

512
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 5: this week to get back in the winning calling me

513
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 5: and they're not playing a very good team. However, the

514
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 5: Philadelphia Eagles are playing at a very high level. And

515
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 5: right now, that's that offensive line, that running game that

516
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 5: they have. Hurts is good enough to beat a lot

517
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 5: of people. He's much better than people give him credit

518
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 5: for you, and and the way they're playing right now,

519
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: that's the hottest team in football. Even when you look

520
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: at the other side in the AFC with Buffalo, Buffalo

521
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 5: would not be able to stop the running game, this

522
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 5: running game that Philadelphia has. And I know a couple

523
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 5: of years ago they said, don't pay the running backs.

524
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 5: It's a waste of money. No, that's bull run. The

525
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 5: best teams in football are the ones that can run

526
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 5: the ball and keep the offensive line and the defenders

527
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 5: a little bit honest and give the quarterback a little

528
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 5: bit more time with the play, you know, the run

529
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: pass option, et cetera, et cetera. And you've got Hurts

530
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 5: in this case, he's also can run the ball, so

531
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 5: he can not only pass effectively, but can run. You know,

532
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 5: this is a this is a and of course you

533
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: got Barkley. I don't know how the Giants have recovered.

534
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 5: To him, that was insane, but that's incredible. That team

535
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: right now is the best team in football.

536
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: Totally agree. Great second half team, great defense, the most

537
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: complete team with a stellar running game. Jim, tell the

538
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: folks where they can find your stuff, Buddy.

Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

579
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: All right, back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio,

580
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: coming live from the Tarack dot Com studios here in

581
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. We are fourteen minutes away from the midnight hour.

582
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: Callers have been fantastic. We've done this almost a full

583
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: year now and you can reach us at eight seven,

584
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: seven nine nine six six three six nine, eight seven,

585
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox. All right, couple topics and

586
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: of course the rant if you've got something you want.

587
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: But here's where my head is at. Look, the college

588
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: football Playoff is here, and yes, I get that it's

589
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: got loopholes in everything, but it's going to be decided

590
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: on the field, and there's always going to be complainers.

591
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: But based on what you've seen, do you like it?

592
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: I get it? Why would Oregon have a more difficult

593
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: path in Penn State? When they beat Penn State, they

594
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: also beat Ohio State. Penn State didn't beat them else

595
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: beat Boise State. There's some loopholes. Maybe there shouldn't be buys,

596
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 2: maybe the wrong teams are getting buys. We can pick

597
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: it apart, like you can pick the part the wart

598
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: on Lincoln's nose. But there are also other issues going

599
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: on in college football that's part of this larger discussion,

600
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: not the least of which is the nil complete wild

601
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: West tobacle. You just had Michigan pay twelve million dollars

602
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: for a quarterback who's never taken a single snap yet

603
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: in college football. Okay, that's part of it. And the

604
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: portal madness. Now, we've been talking about portal madness for

605
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: a while, but it's reached a fever pitch. Penn State

606
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: will play SMU here, it'll kickoff in a little over

607
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: nine hours. Both of their backup quarterbacks have entered the portal.

608
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: Bull Perbula, who is a backup queue for Prince State,

609
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: and he's contributed. I think he's seen time in almost

610
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: every game this year. I think he's accounted for in

611
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: his Penn State career for like nineteen touchdowns. And James

612
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: Franklin was very classy. He's not mad at the kid.

613
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: The systems flawed, all right, there should be. Nick Saban

614
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: has suggested get through springball and then maybe in May

615
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: you have a thirty day free agency period. But if

616
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: you are affecting teams that are currently in the College

617
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: Football Playoff. Preston Stone is the backup quarterback at SMU.

618
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: I have no idea what the situation is there. All

619
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: I know is he also, he too is in the

620
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: is in the transfer portal. So when you've got when

621
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: you've got a situation where you've now got players that

622
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: are still involved in the CFP Playoff hitting the portal,

623
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 2: and you've got Marshall University who had twenty nine players

624
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: in one fell swoop enter the portal. So Marshall was

625
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 2: not able to play their bowl game. All right, So

626
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: this is the new college football players getting paid? No problem.

627
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: You want to work, you want to you know, you

628
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: want to do that. Fine, it's not regulated. It's going

629
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: to be more regulated. They'll start to put up some guardrails.

630
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if they ever completely get their arms

631
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: around it. But between the College Football Playoff, we've got

632
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: a fabulous triple header on Saturday. Still, there are some

633
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: people that don't like the way teams were selected based

634
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 2: on perhaps strength to schedule. Perhaps on yeah, I do

635
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: realize Alabama I believe would beat SMU, But there are

636
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: a three loss team and that conference at four teams

637
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: to the playoff, and look, you get the picture. This

638
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: is what we have. Do you like it? I do.

639
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. I get there's change. We once

640
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: fought wars with a single shot rifle. So want to

641
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: hear the people's thoughts about that. And by the way,

642
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: you've heard me say it a thousand times. The most

643
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: boring conversations are when everybody agrees. So just bring it

644
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: and I know you will. Second thing is, I want

645
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: to talk Bill Belichick. All Right, this book's just missing

646
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: a chapter to be You're not going to sell me

647
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: on the fact that it was just dream to go

648
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 2: to North Carolina. There are other factors that play here,

649
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: So let's just play. Let's just play the handword dealt.

650
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick right now is a head coach at North Carolina.

651
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 2: How long is he going to be there? You think

652
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: he'll stay three years? You think he's won and done?

653
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: Will it work? Meaning will he get this? Will he

654
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: get North Carolina to the playoff? What will be their legacy?

655
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: What will be his success? Rate there will Bill Belichick

656
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: every be back in the NFL. Let's play it, you know,

657
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 2: I know it's against a lot of practice psychology, with

658
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: a lot of license, but we do it because it's

659
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 2: sports talk radio. And part of the reason I'm broaching

660
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: it in this fashion is that Bill Belichick's North Carolina

661
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: contract has one interesting wrinkle that will very much, I believe,

662
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: at least keep speculation about him returning back to the

663
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: NFL alive, despite his own words that he shoots it

664
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: down every day. I'm not buying it. First things First,

665
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick's deals for five years through December twenty twenty

666
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 2: nine will pay him ten million annually in base salary,

667
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 2: and he's got some supplemental income there. Now, the first

668
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: three years are guarantee that the file two or not,

669
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: so it effectively makes it a three year, thirty million

670
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: dollar contract if you know, North Carolina decides after three years, okay,

671
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: we've had enough or whatever. Whatever. But Belichick's buyout terms

672
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 2: not exactly what you typically find in most college football

673
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: coaching contracts. You see, what if Bill Belichick terminates to

674
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: deal without costs? All right? For instance, Let's say something

675
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: happened and all of a sudden between now and June first,

676
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: which is right around the corner, an NFL job was

677
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 2: offered to him. Somebody's gonna owe North Carolina ten million dollars.

678
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: But if they offer him that job June second, that

679
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: drops to one million dollars. Why would you put that

680
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: clause in that contract? Now, there was an introductory press conference,

681
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: which you've all seen a thousand times. In his beautiful

682
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: powder blue suit, Belichick said, quote, he didn't come here

683
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: just to leave. When asked whether or not he would

684
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 2: consider returning into the NFL, you know, he says, I

685
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: feel like doing it for a long time, and I'm

686
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: sure he does. I know he likes to coach, that's fine,

687
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 2: and he he's what was born to be a coach.

688
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 2: And he's only fourteen wins away from Don Jule's all

689
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: time record, which we all thought he wanted, but maybe

690
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: he doesn't. But he called this job coaching in college

691
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 2: a dream come true. Are you really buying that? Come on? Man?

692
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: Remember back in two thousand, Belichick agreed to become the

693
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: Jets head coach for one day. Then he stepped down

694
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: before his press conference so we could take the Patriots jobs.

695
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 2: Now there'll be at least seven openings this year when

696
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: all is said and done, only one so far as

697
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: interviewed Belichick. That was last year the Falcons. But I

698
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: will be shocked if this year's cycle or next year's

699
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 2: cycle comes through and there isn't even a conversation about

700
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 2: with Bill Belichick. So those are our two midnight hour

701
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:55,040

Speaker 2: Tell me your thoughts on the portal of the Crazy Marshall.

704
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: Twenty nine players exit kend even played their bowl game.

705
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: Penn State's backup quarterback backing out throwing the freaking playoff?

706
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: For crying out loud, Bill Belichick? How long is it

707
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: gonna be at UNC? Is it gonna work? Will they

708
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: make a playoff? What's gonna happen? Keep it locked? You're

Speaker 2: of course the college Football Playoff twelve teen to format

729
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: subject matters and don't hold back. And I know you

730
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: won't start wherever you want.

731
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 8: Bernie, no way, no way with this new twelve and

732
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 8: twelve team thing. I think that's gonna explode in about

733
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 8: five years. Just like you mentioned the whole team from

734
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 8: Marshall going into transfer transfer portal. I just think that's

735
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 8: gonna it's in time, it's just going to ruin everything.

736
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 8: It's just going to ruin the whole.

737
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: As long as people keep watching. And I'm not gonna

738
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: stop watching it as long as people can bet on

739
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: a gym and the stands were packed tonight, and then

740
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure the TV ratings are going to be great.

741
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 2: You know, we're all a bunch of slappies. We need

742
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: our sports. Don't you think it finds a way to

743
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: sustain itself.

744
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 4: No, because you added three more games to a college

745
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 4: and a way. You're talking about kids that are seventeen

746
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 4: to twenty one years old that you know, not everybody

747
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 4: can make the pros, but that's all what they're thinking about.

748
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: And I just think it's gonna make for a lot

749
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 4: of bodily injuries these young kids and setting them up

750
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 4: with even if they are great athletes. Just you know,

751
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 4: it's it's just a Russian Rulette type of thing. I

752
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 4: just I just don't like it. Too young a players,

753
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 4: you know, and too younger adults and all that's going on.

754
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 4: And like I said, what's going on at Masha. I

755
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 4: just think it's gonna it's just going to open a

756
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 4: bad can of worms within five years and then they're

757
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 4: going to reevaluate their whole program.

758
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: You know, all right, let's talk about Belichick. You're in

759
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: his neck of the woods for many years. I feel

760
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: like this book's missed in a chapter. What are your

761
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 2: thoughts about this whole North Carolina deal.

762
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna know. I personally think he's gonna

763
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 4: like it there. He always he owns homes up here,

764
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: you know, on the vineyard and other places where it's

765
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 4: like in the country setting. I mean, it's a beautiful

766
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 4: area where he's going to I'm sure he knows that.

767
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 4: And yeah, he did all he had to do in

768
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 4: the Pros. I mean, I don't think he really cares

769
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 4: about the twelve games, you know, to take the lead

770
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 4: over Shua. I think he's he like you said, he

771
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 4: loves coaching, and I think he wants to get back

772
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 4: with the kids. And you said it yourself. When you're

773
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 4: coached in the on the pros, it's like manage an

774
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 4: adult day kiss center. And he's been there twenty five years.

775
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 3: I think he's done with that.

776
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 5: I think he's got peace.

777
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: You know, he may very well be right, you know

778
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: what time hotel, But you may very well be right.

779
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, Jim. Thanks buddy. Christopher in North Carolina

780
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 2: joins this. So I'm hoping you've got some thoughts on

781
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 2: Belichick being there. Are you in your chapel Hill?

782
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 9: Well, I'm currently in Hilton Head, South Carolina on my

783
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 9: Christmas break, Bernie, but I do live in Charlotte and

784
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 9: it will be very interesting to see.

785
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 3: I've got two takes on it.

786
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 9: Number one, since his dad was a graduate of the university.

787
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 9: It's a great Alma mad thing. It makes you and

788
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 9: see something marketable again. So all we don't talk about

789
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 9: is basketball.

790
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 6: But let's be realistic.

791
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 9: The NL I have money is set up to make

792
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 9: these strategic teams that have the most money the best players.

793
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 9: And are you going to tell me Bill Belichick's going

794
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 9: to get that kind of money to get that kind

795
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 9: of talent something of value in the eighties?

796
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: Hold on, God, stay right there, Christopher, because you have

797
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 2: just hit a bullseye on the one thing that none

798
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: of us are going to know until it happens, and

799
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 2: it's going to He's got that four star recruit, five

800
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: star recruit out of Texas locked up, plugged him in

801
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: a running back. You're going to getting three million a

802
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 2: year and the next day he calls back and says, sorry, coach,

803
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to Miami. They gave me five million. You

804
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: know that's gonna happen. How's belchicking a deal with that?

805
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 9: Think about it another way, just like how Michigan based

806
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 9: on our route, based on you and I coming from Michigan.

807
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 9: Look what Michigan did when they stole the talent from LSU.

808
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 9: It's not gonna be the university. It's gonna be where

809
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 9: the money gets, just like the NFL. So yeah, it's

810
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 9: a shiny new penny. It makes UNC look great, But honestly,

811
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 9: tell me how many true athletes are gonna come and

812
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 9: be a part of UNC. I mean, it's a great campus.

813
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 10: It's the greatest.

814
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: Think about it. Think about it if the money is there. Listen,

815
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 2: we all know what happened to SMU with Craig James

816
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: and Eric Dickerson and the Pony Express. That was nineteen

817
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 2: seventy eight. So it can't happen. But the question is

818
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 2: who's got the deep pockets in North Carolina to compete

819
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 2: with what Michigan's willing to all of a sudden to

820
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 2: spend now and some of the other schools.

821
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 6: Well, you'll see it.

822
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 9: They'll spend the money at the college side for basketball,

823
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 9: they'll drop millions. And I mean they've got some of

824
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 9: the best arena pools and features for any college basketball

825
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 9: program in the country. But it's all going to come

826
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 9: down to can you get the money which the booties have?

827
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 9: Are they going to call it up?

828
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 11: One and two?

829
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 9: Is he truly going to relate to eighteen year olds

830
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 9: at seventy bus Come on, Bernie, it's not going to happen.

831
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 9: He's not going to be interested in real quickly.

832
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 2: So I want to get together calls. Do you have

833
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 2: any thoughts on the twelve teen playoff format?

834
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 4: It's a joke.

835
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 9: It's just a way, well think of it just this way.

836
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 9: We're going to have the best game tonight, and so

837
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 9: after tonight, who's going to care because Oregon is not playing.

838
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 9: So we'll have our best game in Georgia tonight, and

839
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 9: after that, nobody's gonna care anymore because the best page

840
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 9: you're already going to be played, and so who we

841
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 9: have left isn't gonna matter because people are going to

842
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 9: be thinking about the holidays again. So Merry Christmas to you,

843
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 9: my friends. Thanks for taking my call. I wish you

844
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 9: and all your teams a very happy holidays. I look

845
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 9: forward to talking to you agetting twenty five.

846
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 2: Great thanks Christopher, Mike in Texas joins us next, welcome in, Mike.

847
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 10: How are you hi, Ernie?

848
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 12: How are you good man?

849
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: Where would you like to start on these two topics?

850
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 10: I'm okay with starting with Belichick? Give you and I

851
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 10: think you know Jordan went to you and you didn't

852
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 10: played basketball or whatever.

853
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 13: I think you played for the name Belichick.

854
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 9: Is a how many super Bowl winners?

855
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 10: I think anybody would want to play some one. I

856
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 10: don't think it matters really about the money and what

857
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 10: you've got to pay to get people to come, you know,

858
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 10: in IL, I just think people don't want to play

859
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 10: for billetechause everybody.

860
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: I think you're going to have some of that. I

861
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 2: think you listen, that's fair. But what we are seeing

862
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: unequivocally his players will leave for more money tomorrow, and

863
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: we're seeing that for some of these guys, it's life

864
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 2: changing money. Do you think Belichick will stay at North

865
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: Carolina at least three years?

866
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 10: I mean, the dude, I don't. I don't know that

867
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 10: if he toach him much longer. I think this is

868
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 10: maybe his last bashes.

869
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 5: Bit and and he wants that.

870
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 14: He wants to go out on a big one.

871
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: And the better to do it, which is a un

872
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: or do anything on the playoffs like the playoffs as

873
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: far as the tub team playoff.

874
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 6: I am from.

875
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 10: Texas, I am from Lubbock. I am a Red Raider.

876
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 10: I get that, But it seems like boydi states have

877
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 10: been who've been streaming for years of the Midwest Conference

878
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 10: gives us a camp and now here we are the

879
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 10: first time that the first year of the twelft playoffs

880
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 10: and boys do say finished. So I mean, I think

881
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 10: I think it benefits college football. And I'm kind of

882
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 10: tired of saying, you know, the extended playoffs in the

883
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 10: NBA and the NFL and and and whatever you have

884
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 10: it that way. Where the MLB is going with theirs,

885
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 10: I don't know.

886
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 14: But.

887
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 5: It's behind on the day.

888
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 10: And to only have four teams to play for a

889
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 10: national championship over the years, I say, I think you give,

890
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 10: give give most of the conferences can't get a player.

891
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, give them a chance.

892
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:47,479
Speaker 10: So yeah, not just players, it's it's about it's about

893
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 10: schools and pay you know South Dakota State Community College.

894
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 10: If their team is rocking, let's let's see what.

895
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 3: Them to do.

896
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, Mike. Look, but it brings

897
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: up a good point there, and that is you start

898
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 2: your season. What other sports you start your season and

899
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 2: you say, no, matter what we do, we can't play

900
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: for a championship. We're going to be blocked out. And

901
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: I did a long commentary on this a couple of

902
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 2: Decembers ago, and that's wrong. Now there's a path. There

903
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 2: actually is a path. I mean not be an easy one,

904
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: but exists. Hey, Jerome and Charleston, what's happening Jerome?

905
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 6: You didn't get your shots?

906
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 15: Did you under the weather?

907
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: Dude? I'm on antibiotics, Dude, I got I got a

908
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: sinus infection. I might as well just run my face

909
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: into a brick wall, but I don't. You will never

910
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: see me calling sick Jerome.

911
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 7: Uh huh uh huh.

912
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,959
Speaker 6: Hey. By the way, Kurk Club would be very happy

913
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 6: with the modern day going on.

914
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, with all the money.

915
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 2: I'm mad at the Players Union for not giving Kurt

916
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,879
Speaker 2: Flood his own shrine, and Pam is just taking care

917
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 2: of him the rest of his life. But we'll have

918
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: to We'll talk about that another day.

919
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 6: Let's talk about he were talking about the Belichick relating. Hey,

920
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 6: he's got a twenty four year old girlfriend. He's relating

921
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 6: pretty good by now, Okay, so don't talk about him

922
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 6: relating to these young guys. And by the way, when

923
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 6: I think of Belichick, I think of that old song

924
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 6: bought the min A song.

925
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: Well, here here's the thing, here's the thing. I got

926
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: a lot of callers, jerum, I want a standpoint. Here's

927
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 2: the thing I want to focus on. Though. Yeah, you

928
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: heard me talk about some of the stipulations in Bill

929
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 2: Belichick's contract, which raises eyebrows. Is he is he want

930
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 2: a stepping stone back to the NFL? Is he gonna

931
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: love it at North Carolina? Is he going to have

932
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 2: success there? And what a success? Well, his success is

933
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: getting to the twelve team playoff. Now you got to

934
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: get to the dann plaoff.

935
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 6: You think he'll do it in Tan here it's called

936
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 6: playing both bands against the mill as a rock shop.

937
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 6: He may stay one or two years, it was not

938
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 6: he gets a better offer. He's probably going back to

939
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 6: the NFL because that's where he's most comfortable. Lad so

940
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 6: real cree.

941
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: You like the new playoff format, yes or no.

942
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 6: It's not a Finnish product yet, but they all live

943
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 6: with it for now, to the to the powers that

944
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 6: be decided what they really want because it's not it's

945
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 6: not a Frennish product yet. They're gonna keep tweaking it

946
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 6: until they get it like they really.

947
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: Want it to be. Now that's a measure response. I agree,

948
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 2: I agree, all right, thanks a lot cher. Hey Kyle

Speaker 15: Happy holadays? Merry Christmas because you won't be on there

954
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 15: that day, So give it to you now.

955
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 3: So I got a couple of.

956
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 15: Things before I get it, before iotens your topics. The

957
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 15: first thing is if Rody Johnson actually did this with

958
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 15: his matting rating and not wanting to trade for players

959
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 15: for that, we're gonna have it, and we're gonna have

960
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 15: Madden players becoming gms. We're getting jobs as offensive.

961
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 4: Coordinators or defensive coordinators soon.

962
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 15: That's the first thing. Second thing, the NBA sucks right now.

963
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 15: Don't even want to talk about it. Don't even bring

964
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 15: it up, don't you mentioned the NBA because it's trash.

965
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 15: Now to go to your Bill Belja Bill Belichick's topic,

966
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 15: he hasn't out. He credited a pipeline system to where

967
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 15: if he wants to leave, he can leave and not

968
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 15: owe anybody anything, not even an explanation as to why

969
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 15: he gleeping. So I give him credit for that. It's

970
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 15: an exit strategy. But however, that tends to play on

971
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 15: the psyche of what he's really there for. And I

972
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 15: agree with you that he's not planning to stay longevity.

973
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 15: It's not a long it's not a long tenure that

974
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 15: he's playing on stage. He can tell people all the

975
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 15: stuff that he wants to tell him, but he ain't staying.

976
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 15: And as far as the playoffs go, man, listen, I

977
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 15: agree with Jerome.

978
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 7: It's not a finished product.

979
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 15: It's not clean, it's not polished, but it's something for

980
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 15: right now. The way I'm looking at it is it's

981
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 15: a participation trophy. Everybody's going to get something.

982
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 4: At the end of the day.

983
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 15: You can't please the masters, and next thing you know,

984
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 15: we're gonna have a ninety six team playoff style tournament

985
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 15: like a basketball and I don't want that to.

986
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 4: Race the sport.

987
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 15: You know, I'd not to see some of these kids

988
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 15: play these final games instead of transferring out. You know,

989
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 15: back when I played college ball, you know, back when

990
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 15: a lot of us remember college football. You get to

991
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 15: a Sugar Bowl, you get to an Orange Bowl, you

992
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 15: get to a Rose Ball, I Fiesta Ball. Those were

993
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 15: your championship games. Those were the games that you looked

994
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 15: forward to. Now these kids are like, hey, I make

995
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 15: twelve million dollars. Why would I go out there and

996
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 15: go risking injury and then not get drafted. But then

997
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 15: they get drafted in third round and they still a millionaires.

998
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you covered a lot of really good ground there, Kyle,

999
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 2: And I don't disagree with anything you said. And don't

1000
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 2: be a stranger man. This is what I want to do.

1001
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 2: Provoke thought and James Lynn, Jim hanging there, don't go

1002
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 2: anywhere you are. We're getting all yeah. And I want

1003
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 2: to give everybody plenty of air time tonight. And regarding Belichick, Okay,

1004
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 2: I want people to remember this. Bill Watsh was as

1005
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: legendary as coach. In his time as Bill Belichick, those

1006
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 2: forty nine er teams were dominant. He was called the

1007
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: Genius for a reason. He found Joe Montana the same way,

1008
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 2: essentially that Tom Brady was found by Bell Belichick at Michigan.

1009
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 2: Bill Walsh, after winning his three Super Bowls, went back

1010
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 2: to college. He coached Stamford for three seasons. He's final

1011
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 2: a record next Stint seventeen seventeen and one. The real

1012
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 2: narrative will be whether or not Belichick wins or loses,

1013
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 2: and that will shape and form formulate the real narrative.

1014
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 2: James Lynn, Jim, You're up next. Eight seven seven nine

1015
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 2: nine six six three sixty nine. Let's hear from you.

Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. All Right, why am I not accepting on

1032
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 2: face value that he says he's going to go to

1033
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: North Carolina to be happy and I could very well

1034

Speaker 2: be wrong. James in Los Angeles. Thanks for hanging on there, Bud.

Speaker 4: What's uping man A.

1037
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 3: You know I'm old school. I still believe Hagler was

1038
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 3: robbed in that Sugar Linards fight. I'll go to my

1039
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 3: grave believe in it, and I'm always gonna hold on

1040
00:55:55,040 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 3: to that. Having said that, to everything turn turn earn.

1041
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 3: I love the college football playoffs. I think for me

1042
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 3: this gives the bowl game for validity because how many

1043
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 3: times do we have the rolls, the sugar.

1044
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 2: The.

1045
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 3: The orange that that you know at the end of

1046
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 3: the at the.

1047
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 4: End of the year.

1048
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 3: It was a great bowl game, but it didn't need

1049
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 3: it anywhere. What it did would set you up for

1050
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 3: the next year. Apart it may gave you some some

1051
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 3: some some gross for next year.

1052
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 7: But now it's all.

1053
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 3: Kind of centered in to where it does mean something.

1054
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 3: To get to each Bowl game is the stuffing stone

1055
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 3: for something else.

1056
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 16: So I love it.

1057
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 3: I think it it uh you know, gives you a

1058
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 3: chance to to to lose and and and uh go

1059
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 3: through those things. Ohio State is still in it, and

1060
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 3: they married they may very well win at all with

1061
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 3: two losses. And and that tells me right there that uh,

1062
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 3: you know, they they troubled the organ and then they

1063
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 3: they messed up again and they're still able to to

1064
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 3: pull pull their fat out of the fire. So to me,

1065
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 3: I love it that they get a chance. I still

1066
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 3: think they're the best team in the country. I still

1067
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 3: think that even though they have two losses, that they're

1068
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 3: better than Texas and.

1069
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 2: And and the beauty, here's the beauty of it, here's

1070
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 2: the beauty of the James. Whatever the hell happens is

1071
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 2: going to be decided on the field. We don't have

1072
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 2: to speculate if this and that or what we all had,

1073
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 2: if it's and butts were you know, candy and nuts

1074
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 2: with all the merry Christmas. It's going to be decided

1075
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: on the damn field.

1076
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 3: The point and and that is what that is what

1077
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 3: we've been looking for forever, and now that we got it,

1078
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 3: they're still in. They sayers that are They're saying, oh, well,

1079
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 3: what about teams fourteen, fifteen, and six. You know they

1080
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 3: weren't They're gonna keep fighting for that and they weren't

1081
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 3: good even if they they twelve was enough.

1082
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 2: But we know, Well, here's the thing, I'm not sure

1083
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 2: if I like to buys, maybe you have sixteen in

1084
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: the first four seeds, get two home games if they win,

1085
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 2: and listen, I know Alabama would have beaten several teams

1086
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: in this field. But they didn't beat Oklahoma, they didn't

1087
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 2: beat Vanderbilt. So it was decided on the field that

1088
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 2: they didn't get in. So there's no that's where they

1089
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 2: had their chance. I got to get to the other

1090
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 2: callers real quickly. Belichick, Yes, no, thumbs up, thumbs down.

1091
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 2: What's up?

1092
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 3: He has supplanted himself as the greatest coach to me

1093
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 3: in history. If he wants to go out, you know,

1094
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 3: into the Ponderosa any way he wants to, that's fine.

1095
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 3: Let him go out the way that he wants deserved.

1096
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 2: It sounds good man. I'm I'm down with that. I mean,

1097
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 2: I had no problem with that. I just am curious

1098
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 2: what is this whole North Carolina thing really about Lynn

1099
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 2: and San Diego. Perhaps you can answer some of these

1100
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 2: pressing questions facing the world tonight.

1101
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 14: Yeah sure, thank you, Bernie. You're a staff the girls.

1102
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 14: She's real courteous, always answers on the first or second ring.

1103
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 14: So this is the greatest radio show on earth right

1104
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 14: now for his unncerners taking the time as well. Yeah, thanks,

1105
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 14: so let me be a part of it. College football.

1106
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 14: I like the new setup because it gives you more

1107
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 14: to watch, more to see, more people can be the

1108
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 14: chance to play. And the only reason why I wouldn't

1109
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 14: like it is because I'm a major, major USC fan

1110
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 14: because Charles White used to let me in the games

1111
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 14: when I was growing up in South Central only many

1112
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 14: years ago. So I'm in love with that sea forever.

1113
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 14: But I'm it because I love college football. So they

1114
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 14: answer to your question, I really like it a lot.

1115
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like you too. We've gone from one playoff

1116
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: game to three to now eleven. And you know what,

1117
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 2: if you do right, you're going to find a way in.

1118
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 2: And if you don't deserve to get in, you don't

1119
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 2: deserve to get in. But it's going to reduce arguments.

1120
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 2: I think at the National Champion. What are your thoughts

1121
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: on Belichick?

1122
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 14: The only thing I don't like his money is running

1123
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 14: everything college games, the pros. They're paying them too much.

1124
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 14: I hope these kids continue to get paid, but I

1125
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 14: wish they stopped jumping around so much. Just let you yes,

1126
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 14: I mean yes, and then I won't take up too

1127
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 14: much of your time. But okay, so I don't really

1128
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 14: know Belichick, but I know he had a good run

1129
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 14: with Tom Brady. But what I do know about Belichick

1130
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 14: isn't his girlfriend twenty four year old?

1131
01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1132
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I don't.

1133
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 14: Look, this is where I'm going with it.

1134
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 2: Look, it's not a it's not a good look. It's

1135
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 2: none of my damn business I would say this about.

1136
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to figure out only this. Maybe I

1137
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 2: didn't I didn't lay out the subject properly. Is Belichick

1138
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 2: going to stay at North Carolina three years? Is he

1139
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: gonna bolt to the NFL? Is he gonna win? Is

1140
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: he gonna get to a playoff? That That's all I'm

1141
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 2: trying to figure out here. Okay, Because no one, and

1142
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 2: I mean no one saw this coming. Then all of

1143
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 2: a sudden it's coming through. Yeah, come on, man, I

1144
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 2: I you know, come on, I call bs on that,

1145
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 2: all right, Mabe it is maybe I'm wrong.

1146
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 14: Go ahead, we'll make a final comment and get off.

1147
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 14: Belichick he looking for challenges late stage in life, so

1148
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 14: he's out playing.

1149
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 5: Uh.

1150
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 14: He obviously likes young girls, so he's at a place

1151
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 14: where a lot of them are. He's getting paid excellent me.

1152
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 2: Hello, but is he gonna win? He gonna stay, That's

1153
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 2: all I'm trying to figure out.

1154
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 14: All right, he goes stay till he started playing, Bertie,

1155
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 14: you go stay till he started playing.

1156
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 2: I'll be very all right. Thanks a lot learning Merry Christmas.

1157
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 2: I would just say this, I'll be very curious what

1158
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: happens if the right NFL team comes along with the

1159
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 2: right package. Be very curious. Uh, Jim and Iowa, you're

1160
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 2: up next. Thanks to your patience. Hey, Bertie, what are

1161
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 2: your thoughts tonight? Jim?

1162
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 16: I think Belichick is going back to the pros eventually.

1163
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 16: I think that nobody wantsing right now. I think due

1164
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 16: to h maybe how he treated Brady and also the

1165
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 16: Craft situation, I think he'll go down to uh North

1166
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 16: Carolina be the big CEO show. That he can run

1167
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 16: the show again, and uh, one of your disperate teas

1168
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 16: will probably give him a chance.

1169
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 2: And also I think he stays at Carolina all three years.

1170
01:02:55,520 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 16: You win one, two max one or two mats. These

1171
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 16: men like him Popperman have huge e goose and you're

1172
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 16: that close to something special like that, he wants it bad.

1173
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 2: Yep, I agree with that. Thanks, thanks a lot, you

1174
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 2: appreciate it, bud uh Manuel in Guardiana. I'm sure you

1175
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 2: have got a lot of thought these subjects.

1176
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 12: Just known to celebrate, Ernie. How the hell are you?

1177
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 2: My marriage doing fine? Doing fine? Happy holidays?

1178
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 12: Man, Well, hey Mary, Christmas to you and all the staff.

1179
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 12: Let's get down to the brat tax here. That college

1180
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 12: football thing, I'm not a fan. I don't like it.

1181
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 12: I think it's way too overblown. I know that there

1182
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 12: was not a great system in play, but uh, I

1183
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 12: don't think there was too many national champs that were

1184
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 12: actually like challenged or split.

1185
01:03:58,480 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

1186
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 12: I just think it's a overkill. I'm not a fan

1187
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 12: of the guys being able to leave during the playoffs either.

1188
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 2: I think that's that's crazy. That's crazy.

1189
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 12: And the money that they're throwing around I mean, I

1190
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 12: guess it's good for the kids, but I don't know. Man,

1191
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 12: it's not called cathletics some more.

1192
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 5: It's the minor league.

1193
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 12: That's how I look at.

1194
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 2: It, you know what, I was thinking that same thing. Now.

1195
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 2: It's basically essentially become a way station for the NFL

1196
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 2: and the minor leagues where if you don't get to

1197
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 2: the big leagues, you can still get paid. So you

1198
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 2: get paid a little pay a little bit maybe, you know. Listen,

1199
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 2: and I want to set it up this way. This

1200
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 2: is all I care about with the Belichick thing. Is

1201
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 2: he gonna win? And is he going to stay there?

1202
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 12: As far as Belichick, I think he's setting up with Turbil,

1203
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 12: but Turabal being steede have you ever seen speede?

1204
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 2: Oh that was part of the contract. That's that's one

1205
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 2: of my understandings. And Bobby Knight did the same thing

1206
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 2: with his son back in Texas Tech like in two

1207
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 2: thousand and seven or two thousand and eight.

1208
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 12: Go ahead, So he's going to lebron route and Epatism

1209
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 12: and at least the Stevies, you know, credit. He might

1210
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 12: look like a giant Turbul, but he actually had some

1211
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 12: football knowledge, so it might work out. But you know

1212
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 12: as well as I do, Berny, he wants on shoeless record.

1213
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 12: If anybody gets in the shot, he's on.

1214
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 5: The first aage.

1215
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 2: Well that's my thing.

1216
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 12: I don't care if he's got a twenty four year

1217
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 12: old eight tall or not.

1218
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 3: All right, I've.

1219
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: Always believed you want a chewless record. Thanks, Manuel, And

1220
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 2: I see you know. I feel that Belichick had to

1221
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 2: do something and this is a preemptive strike and an

1222
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 2: NFL team can still come along, and there is a

1223
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 2: buyout if you want to be able to listen college

1224
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 2: NFL coaches Phil Right and left and anyway, let's not good.

1225
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 2: Let's get to the callers. Go back out to the lines.

1226
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Are in the riverside, California. Thanks for hanging on out,

1227
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 2: you're up next.

1228
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, hey, Ernie, nice to talk to you.

1229
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 13: Just wanted to say, back in the nineteen eighties when

1230
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 13: I first started betting football, I remember the name Jim Fie,

1231
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 13: Jim Fist and Mike Warren and those guys. You probably

1232
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 13: remember them too.

1233
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 5: I just want to say it.

1234
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm a good deal.

1235
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 13: Glad GYM is still around. And also I'm glad they

1236
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 13: went to the twelve team. But it should have been sixteen. Now,

1237
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 13: just look how perfectly this would have worked if you

1238
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 13: have sixteen teams instead of twelve. Everybody has to play

1239
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 13: three games to get the championship game, not some playing

1240
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 13: three and others only having to played two. Plus all

1241
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 13: three teams in the SEC that complained Alabama, Mississippi, and

1242
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 13: South Carolina would all have been in the playoffs, and

1243
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 13: the one other team that complained, Miami, would have been

1244
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 13: in two. And I wanted to say about Indiana's schedule,

1245
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 13: this is really fun.

1246
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 5: I've listened on the computer.

1247
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 13: I've read maybe ninety to one hundred sports articles since

1248
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 13: this whole selection, this college selection thing has started. And

1249
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 13: nobody on the radio, no article on the computer, nothing

1250
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 13: has has Nobody has criticized Boise schedule. It's all about

1251
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 13: Indiana's schedule. I think they want to pick on a

1252
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 13: nationwide conference. And I've come to realize that Boise is

1253
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 13: not a hot talk topic. But nobody really cares about

1254
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 13: Boise except the people in that area.

1255
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 4: But boys, it is.

1256
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 2: Here and their only loss was at Oregon about field goal. Yeah,

1257
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 2: and they're very good and they'll play the winner of

1258
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 2: SMU Penn State. Right, here's the beauty of this, and

1259
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 2: I'll give you the last words, and I gotta let

1260
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 2: you run. It's going to be decided on the field.

1261
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 2: You see, we won't have to wonder golly would Boise

1262
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 2: have beaten kinds of state? Go ahead, you got the last.

1263
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 13: Word, had effectively. I'm sure you're old enough to remember it.

1264
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 13: I am too. Bois technically had a one double A schedule.

1265
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 13: Back when I was in college, there was a Division

1266
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,439
Speaker 13: one A in a one double A and one double

1267
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 13: A was a tier below one eight. Boise play teams

1268
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 13: like Portland State, Utah State, Oregon State, San Jose State, Hawaii,

1269
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 13: Wyoming and the that arena that is a one double

1270
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 13: A schedule, but they got no criticism whatever. And Notre

1271
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 13: Dame schedule was no better than Indiana, so I'll prove it,

1272
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 13: and similar with SMU and Clemson two. Notre Dame played

1273
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 13: Virginia pretty good at not ranked Georgia Tech pretty good,

1274
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 13: not ranked Florida State last place in the ACC, Stanford

1275
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 13: next to last in the ACC. Stanford was only three

1276
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 13: and nine, Purdue last place, and in the beginning, I.

1277
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 2: Got you, I got you don't know listen, and who.

1278
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 13: They lost to their schedule was no better than Indiana's,

1279
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 13: but not one word of criticism about Notre Dame schedule

1280
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 13: because it was all about history in is bad history

1281
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 13: and emotions.

1282
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 2: But okay, Ed, thanks for checking in. I hope you

1283
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 2: can hear this comment and call next week. This is

1284
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 2: gonna continue. Indiana had their chance on the field against

1285
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, and they deserve to be there, but they

1286
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,560
Speaker 2: were overmatched. So we can no longer argue about what

1287
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 2: your schedule was or how your results were because when

1288
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 2: the game got kicked off on the field, you could

1289
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 2: pretty clearly see that Notre Dame was the much better team.

1290
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 2: But you bring all valid points. All right, coming up,

1291
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna wrap up the midnight hour, But Michael in Louisiana,

1292
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 2: Mike and Modesto and Henry Minneapolis, don't go anywhere. Definitely

1293
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 2: want to hear what you've got to say on both

1294
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,439

1304

Speaker 2: The Bertie Fradle Show Fox Sports Radio. Been a good,

1305
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 2: strong min that hour. As per usual, Let's go back

1306
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: out to the phone lines, joined by Michael and Louisiana. Michael,

1307
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 2: thanks for checking in and out. What are your thoughts.

1308
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 7: About the college playoffs? I think every team that got

1309
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 7: in deserved.

1310
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 6: To get in.

1311
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 7: Every team that deserved to get in is in, but

1312
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 7: there were some teams that obviously might not have been

1313
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 7: up the snuff that snuck in. I honestly think Army

1314
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 7: deserved to get in. But Belichick, uh, you know, he's

1315
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,839
Speaker 7: got an aura around him, one of the most successful

1316
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 7: coaches of all time. I think the trick will be

1317
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 7: for him if you can convince enough of these kids

1318
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 7: that come into his team will get them ready for

1319
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 7: the NFL and they'll sacrifice some of that nil money

1320
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 7: for the potential learnings in the future.

1321
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 2: That's possible Is it too idealistic though, to think that way,

1322
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 2: given the.

1323
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:21,560
Speaker 7: Way this whole thing is rolling, Well, of course, I

1324
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 7: mean you're gonna have to pay some of these marquee players,

1325
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 7: the ones that are pretty much guaranteed to get a

1326
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 7: spot in the draft one of these years, whenever they

1327
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 7: decide to leave. But I mean putting together the entire roster.

1328
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 7: You can't pay everybody, And I think he's got the

1329
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,600
Speaker 7: gravitas to actually pull some guys in that might not

1330
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 7: have even looked that way to unc.

1331
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 2: You know that thought has crossed my mind, Michael, and

1332
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 2: we'll see if if that comes to fruition. Appreciate your

1333
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 2: thoughts tonight on both subjects, Mike and Modesto returns.

1334
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 11: How are you, Mike, I'm doing good, Bernie. Things for

1335
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 11: the lining versus the portal. I think the portal needs

1336
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 11: to be improved. They shouldn't be like free agency. I'd

1337
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 11: still make the players sit out in the air if

1338
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 11: they transferred. I'm less the coach leaves, then.

1339
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 12: I let them be eligible right away.

1340
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 11: That's how you fix that. The playoffs, God, we're finally here.

1341
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 11: I hated it for so long, was crying for a

1342
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 11: playoff for so long. They gave every excuse, the kids,

1343
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 11: the school, everything, there's too much money in it. We're

1344
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 11: finally here.

1345
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 6: And it's like sixteen teams too.

1346
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 11: But I'm not going to cry for teams like al

1347
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 11: Obama who lost the thicke in Oklahoma. You don't deserve

1348
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 11: crap if.

1349
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 12: You lose to Oklahoma.

1350
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 11: Secondly, on that, we're getting what we want. Conference champions

1351
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 11: trumpet champions aren't getting screwed.

1352
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 7: Now that's the point.

1353
01:12:54,560 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 11: You want to be assured, Bernie, win your conference, then

1354
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 11: you are in.

1355
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 2: That's always been my beast, and go ahead continue.

1356
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1357
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 11: Now, now, Belichick, you and I both know everybody knows

1358
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 11: the goal is in the NFL. Whether he won't go

1359
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 11: there more than it's a.

1360
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 12: Three year max.

1361
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 15: It could be one year or gig in a game.

1362
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 11: But I see Belichick is going to use this though,

1363
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 11: because he's not.

1364
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 6: He doesn't want to go just to.

1365
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 11: Any NFL situation that opens up, as bad as he

1366
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 11: wants too's record, he wants to go to a team

1367
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 11: where the situation is he could win and have success.

1368
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 11: So if that takes one season at North Carolina, two

1369
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 11: seasons at North Carolina, he'll do it. He's gonna, he's gonna,

1370
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 11: he's gonna play the field.

1371
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 12: Jenny win there, Yes he can.

1372
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,759
Speaker 11: His alumnis only need to get the type of players

1373
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 11: to win a week eight seed. He's not playing, he's

1374
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 11: not coaching in the SEC. He's not coaching in the

1375
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,639
Speaker 11: victim'sc He can easily pull enough money by his name

1376
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 11: and the money to win that conference like we talked about,

1377
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 11: and get in that playoff every year. Okay, Bernie, thanks

1378
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 11: for the time, buddy.

1379
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 2: All right, good, I'd like your definitive thoughts. No equivocating there.

1380
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 2: Henry in Minneapolis, you're up next. Good evening.

1381
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 17: Hey, Bernie, thanks for taking my call. I kind of

1382
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 17: agree with the last guy, I, you know, with the

1383
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 17: first part, finally get into the playoffs.

1384
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 4: Letting the conference.

1385
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 17: Champions kind of, you know, do what they need to do,

1386
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 17: but let the Cinderella stories kind of have a shot.

1387
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 17: You know, look at the couple of years ago UCF

1388
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 17: claiming that they're.

1389
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 3: In the National champions because they never lost a game.

1390
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 4: Let them prove it on the field, just like you said.

1391
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 17: But with Belichick, I agree with him because he played

1392
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 17: this perfectly. He's not in the Big Ten, he's not

1393
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 17: in the sec. He could get a huge payout, buy

1394
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 17: him out of his contract if he wants to leave,

1395
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,560
Speaker 17: or if he does it right, do exactly what he

1396
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 17: did with New England and be like.

1397
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 2: Hey, you're I know he's got those options. The question is,

1398
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 2: what are we talking about two years from now, Belichick leaving,

1399
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 2: Belichick still there? Did he win? Do he lose? I'm

1400
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 2: just trying to figure out it's just going to work

1401
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 2: because it's off to a weird start.

1402
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 17: It is, and I think he's got all the cards.

1403
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 5: He's got a couple in his.

1404
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 17: Sleeve because it goes perfectly for him. Why should he

1405
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 17: leave it doesn't go well, Bill pay to buy him

1406
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 17: out of his contract and he still gets fifty million.

1407
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Every good stuff. Man. I want to get to all

1408
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:33,839
Speaker 2: the callers. We do this every week. Don't be a stranger.

1409
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 2: Marvin Berkeley, you're up next.

1410
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 18: I think somebody who's authorized said, look, you better do

1411
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 18: something fast. He went too fast. He could have taken

1412
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 18: more time and he would have gotten a college, a

1413
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 18: better college team or approaching message. To my opinion, he

1414
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 18: just did this too fast, I think, And I wanted

1415
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 18: to throw something at you, and you might think I'm crazy.

1416
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 18: What about taking the next two wildcard teams, the teams

1417
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 18: that didn't make the wildcards, the next two best NFL

1418
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 18: teams having the one game playoffs, and whoever wins that

1419
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 18: game plays the college cham.

1420
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:06,600
Speaker 5: What do you think of that?

1421
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 2: Remember back in the day, it is before my time,

1422
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 2: the college All Stars would play the old they stopped

1423
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 2: doing well injuries. You're not gonna get it good. Yeah,

1424
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna never gonna. I will tell you right now.

1425
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this right down, and I gotta let

1426
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 2: you run a second. But hang on. You can give

1427
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 2: me the worst team in the NFL right now out

1428
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 2: here with the Raiders Jacksonville. Put them on the field, Georgia.

1429
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 2: They'll be they'll be laying twenty eight points and they'll cover.

1430
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 2: It's really, oh my god, that much. All right, Mark,

1431
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 2: thanks a lot, Buddy Bright, bring it to him, you

1432
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 2: our last caller. We got about a minute go ahead.

1433
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 19: All of the int screw up the college football playoffs

1434
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 19: like they have. I know everybody else loves them, and

1435
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 19: everybody's talking about.

1436
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 4: How winning the conference guarantees you in.

1437
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 19: But if I'm organ right now, I'm winning my car

1438
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 19: and then having to get stuck with probably the toughest

1439
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 19: road going to the national titles and not get a

1440
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 19: home game at all in.

1441
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 4: This I'd be pissed.

1442
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 19: So, yes, I'm glad that we have the more games,

1443
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 19: but they still found a way to mess this time.

1444
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 2: They've got a tweak it. No, I listen, I talked

1445
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 2: about it.

1446
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:18,600
Speaker 14: I don't know.

1447
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 2: If you're at the top of the show. You've got Oregon,

1448
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 2: who's beaten three teams in this tournament. Ten States lost

1449
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 2: to both the teams in this tournament that they played,

1450
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 2: and yet Ten States ostensibly has an easier path to

1451
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 2: the finals in Oregon does.

1452
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 19: Oh sure, And that's so I'm glad that we have it. Yes,

1453
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 19: but Bill definitely needs a lot of restructuring, and ou't

1454
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 19: think going to sixteen teams is going to help with that.

1455
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 4: It's going to be a different way.

1456
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 3: Seeing these teams to where it's more.

1457
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 19: If you get that number one seed you should have.

1458
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think the flaw here, Bryce, and

1459
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 2: thanks so much for the call, and I want you

1460
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 2: to have more time for everybody. We want you to

1461
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 2: keep calling in. Got to measure it as best we can.

1462
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,599
Speaker 2: The fatal flawt we've seen right now is all right,

1463
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 2: you win your conference, you're guaranteed a first round by.

1464
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,720
Speaker 2: I think in retrospect, you win your conference, you're guaranteed in,

1465
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 2: but maybe not a first round by. And maybe no

1466
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 2: one should get a first round by. All right, and

1467
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,759
Speaker 2: these are things we'll tweak and maybe they should recede

1468
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 2: after your first round playoff. Think about that. Look at

1469
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 2: some of the seedings. Penn State wins, they get Boise,

1470
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,719
Speaker 2: whereas maybe they don't deserve that seed, and how Boise

1471
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 2: beats them if that happens. But be that as it may.

1472
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, you're like movies up next, Breeze

1487
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 20: So I know, earlier this week it was announced that

1488
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:39,919
Speaker 20: Rock Party gifted ten Toyota trucks to his offensive linemen,

1489
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 20: and Patrick Mahomes gifted his offensive linemen like some normal

1490
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 20: tech compression socks or like socks, like those little boots

1491
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 20: that go around your legs, little cowboy boots and a

1492
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 20: Rolex so like, you know, Christmas cheer. And I was like, okay,

1493
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,600
Speaker 20: let's talk about like holidays just in general. So I

1494
01:19:57,680 --> 01:19:59,919
Speaker 20: kind of was just thinking holiday is like all combined

1495
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 20: and everybody celebrates all kinds of different, you know things

1496
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 20: through the through these few months. So I started off

1497
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 20: with Planes, Trains and Automobiles because that's a Thanksgiving movie,

1498
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 20: and I feel like that's really like the only Thanksgiving movie.

1499
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,680
Speaker 20: I feel like Christmas has all movies and Thanksgiving. I

1500
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 20: always think of like TV shows when it comes to Thanksgiving,

1501
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 20: but like Planes, Trains and Automobiles is like a Thanksgiving movie, right,

1502
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 20: Like like yeah.

1503
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 2: John Candy and yeah, it was definitely a holiday movie.

1504
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 20: Yeah, definitely like holiday movie. So it was super cool

1505
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 20: because I was reading that they kind of base the

1506
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 20: characters off of like the actual actor, so like Steve

1507
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,719
Speaker 20: Martin is actually like like a neat freak, and John

1508
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 20: Candy was obviously like super easy going and just kind

1509
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 20: of out there, so that I thought that was pretty interesting.

1510
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 20: And the original cut of the movie was like almost

1511
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 20: four hours long, and so you know, it was only

1512
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 20: an hour and a half, like you know in general.

1513
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 20: So that was my first movie and then I then

1514
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 20: I went with Christmas, and so I was between, Okay,

1515
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 20: well I'm just gonna go I actually I went, It's

1516
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 20: a Wonderful Life, just like very classic. And I feel

1517
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 20: like I could probably watch the movie like seven times

1518
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 20: in like December, and like I could love it like

1519
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 20: every single time. So just a total classic. Obviously, Carrie

1520
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 20: Grant was actually originally chosen for the movie, which I

1521
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 20: didn't know, so I thought that was like a little

1522
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 20: bit interesting. And then the movie was shot in nineteen

1523
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 20: forty six in the summer, like during a heat wave,

1524
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 20: so there's like a few scenes and I've always noticed this,

1525
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 20: but he was like a little like he was sweating

1526
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 20: a little bit, like when they shot him up close,

1527
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 20: and so I just thought it was like, you know,

1528
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 20: like the drama effect of like, oh my god, you're

1529
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 20: super stressed out.

1530
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 21: No, like it was because it was.

1531
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 20: Like there was like an actual heat wave. And then

1532
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 20: so a new type of snow was also made just

1533
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:49,520
Speaker 20: for the movie, because originally it was just like cornflakes

1534
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 20: that were painted white, but every time somebody would like

1535
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 20: step on them, it would crunch and that would kind

1536
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 20: of kill like, you know obviously like the sound effects

1537
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 20: and everything. Yea, So they created like foam mite, which

1538
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 20: is what they use in chemicals and like fire extinguishers,

1539
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 20: along with sugar and water. So they used six gallons

1540
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 20: of that throughout the whole movie, So that I thought

1541
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 20: was also a little bit of an interesting tidbit. And

1542
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 20: then the last one, because I'm a girl, you know,

1543
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,759
Speaker 20: I have to go with my rom com kind of vibe.

1544
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:21,600
Speaker 20: I went with Bridget Jones Diary because you know that

1545
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 20: takes place at the beginning of New Year's right, so

1546
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 20: I'm hitting Thanksgiving, I'm hitting Christmas, and then I'm hitting

1547
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 20: New Year's with renee Zelwigger coming up with all her

1548
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 20: New Year's resolutions of what she wants to do, losing

1549
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 20: weight as we all want to do at the beginning

1550
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 20: of the year, keeping a journal, and then obviously you know,

1551
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 20: falling in love like Colin Firth, and then you know

1552
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,600
Speaker 20: that whole thing with Hugh Grant also two great actors.

1553
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 20: You know, she smoked her herbal cigarettes instead of like

1554
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 20: regular cigarettes, which is a little bit interesting. And then

1555
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 20: in the movie, you know, she was like, you know,

1556
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 20: an editor and she had a picture of Jim Carey

1557
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 20: on her desk because they were dating at the time,

1558
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 20: in that time period in the early two thousands. So yeah,

1559
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 20: those are my three movies holiday, a little bit of everything,

1560
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 20: and then we'll go around and do our you know,

1561
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 20: honorable mentions after but I'll go to mark.

1562
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 21: So one of my holiday movies that I picked is

1563
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 21: the nineteen seventy Scrooge, which is another Charles Dickens tale,

1564
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 21: And this is with that Albert Finnie and I can

1565
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 21: remember it was a school trip and we all went

1566
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 21: to the movie theaters and we watched this movie, which

1567
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:35,759
Speaker 21: was a you know, drama musical. So it was amazing

1568
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 21: to see the songs and just the dancing, just the

1569
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 21: whole thing and Albert Finnie. This is the Scrooge movie

1570
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 21: that I always look forward to watching with Albert Finnie.

1571
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,719
Speaker 21: Now my next movie that I picked is the Jim

1572
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 21: Carrey The Grinch, and it's I like that a lot.

1573
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,679
Speaker 21: And there's a particular scene in the movie where Jim

1574
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 21: Carrey is doing an impression of of Ron Howard because

1575
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 21: he's wearing the baseball cap and just the way he's

1576
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 21: directing and talking to the dog. It's just, you know,

1577
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 21: funny if you kind of know what's coming that he's

1578
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 21: kind of making fun of how Ron Howard directs a movie,

1579
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 21: was directing him in The Grinch. That was pretty fun

1580
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 21: that I always look forward to that. And then my

1581
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 21: third movie, once again, I pick It's a Wonderful Life.

1582
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 21: I like it just because of, you know, the whole

1583
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 21: message and just you know, Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

1584
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 21: And it was a big success. Well, it wasn't a

1585
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 21: big success when it first came out, but yeah.

1586
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 2: Frank Kapper, they couldn't get anybody to take that movie

1587
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 2: for five years.

1588
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 21: And then once the it went into public domain, TV

1589
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 21: station started playing it during the holidays, and then that's

1590
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 21: when it kicked off to become something that everybody wants

1591
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,600
Speaker 21: to see during the holidays. And currently, you know, there

1592
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 21: are people that have their podcasts and they have reaction

1593
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 21: to movies, and this is one of the favorites that

1594
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 21: people and the people in there twenties and thirties and

1595
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 21: forties who haven't seen a bunch of movies. They sit

1596
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 21: and watch and react to old movies, and this is

1597
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 21: one of the movies that they react to because it's

1598
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 21: just they haven't seen black and white movies. They don't

1599
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 21: know Jimmy Stewart, they don't know Donna Reed, they don't

1600
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:20,679
Speaker 21: know Frank Kapper. So it's really popular for the reaction

1601
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:24,720
Speaker 21: people to react to this great movie. It's a wonderful life.

1602
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 21: So those are my three. The Scrooge, the Grinch, and

1603
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 21: It's a wonderful Life.

1604
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty clear, it's a wonderful life. It's very synonymous

1605
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 2: with the holiday season. And you know, we've only showed

1606
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 2: on TV during the holiday season. Obviously I stuck with

1607
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 2: Christmas for me. Obviously, a movie that holds up is

1608
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 2: Christmas Story Ralfey Wants His Red Rider Gun and that

1609
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 2: movie came out, you know, many years ago, obviously, but

1610
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 2: it tells a funny story, it's an entertaining story, and

1611
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 2: it checks all the box for a nice, lighthearted, fun

1612
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 2: Christmas movie. The second one, I will always watch it

1613
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 2: whenever it just comes through. That's National Lampoon's christmasification. That

1614
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 2: franchise just took off the chemistry between Chevy Chase and

1615
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 2: Randy Quaid and he sweated out. He wants to get

1616
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 2: that swimming pool for Chevy Chase for his Christmas bonus,

1617
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 2: and he doesn't get it and goes ballistic, and I

1618
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 2: don't know, it's just a it's a comedy. It's a

1619
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 2: funny comedy, and it takes place over Christmas. And then

1620
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 2: the third one for me was was Home Alone, and

1621
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 2: this one we never Here's why Home Alone came out.

1622
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 2: My kids were just barely old enough to understand the

1623
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 2: concept of Santa Claus. So the Christmas that came out

1624
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve, my wife, we took the kids to see it,

1625
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 2: and little did we know we'd be moving to Michigan

1626
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,600
Speaker 2: and that was the last you know, Christmas who we

1627
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 2: had in California. And then look that franchise Home Alone too.

1628
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Well, Caullley Calkin blows up. We couldn't

1629
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 2: have known it at the time. So those are my

1630
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 2: three Christmas story National Lampoon's Cristification, and then Home Alone.

1631
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 21: Do you have any honorable mentions?

1632
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 20: I don't, Okay, I went Home Alone too with one

1633
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 20: of mine. I love Home Alone two taking place in

1634
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 20: New York. That's just like my favorite. And then I

1635
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 20: went with Christmas Carol nineteen fifty one. I think that's

1636
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 20: like I love that black and white. It's like very serious,

1637
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,599
Speaker 20: it's just you know, and then at the very end,

1638
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 20: I think it just kind of ties in together and

1639
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 20: just has that warm message. So those were my two

1640
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 20: honorable mentions.

1641
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 21: I have three. One of them is so much later

1642
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 21: in life, I found ELF with Will Ferrell and Bob

1643
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 21: Newhart and James Kahan, so I finally caught up with

1644
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 21: Elf to watch Will Ferrell be funny. And then my

1645
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 21: second one is the Santa Claus with Tim Allen. I

1646
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 21: like that one just the way it all happened is

1647
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 21: just the whole story of what happens at Tim Allen.

1648
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 21: It's pretty funny. And then it's one of those movies

1649
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 21: that everybody argues about. I like lethal weapon when it

1650
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 21: comes to a Christmas movie argument. But I like that

1651
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 21: one with Danny Glover and Mel Gibson and then my

1652
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 21: last one, I'm sorry, one more love actually for another

1653
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:20,759
Speaker 21: holiday movie. Just a big giant cast of British actors

1654
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 21: and American actors. It's really funny.

1655
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 2: And just when.

1656
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 21: There's the version that they play on TV that they

1657
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 21: can't show certain parts because of a particular couple within

1658
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 21: the whole movie. But it's pretty funny to watch.

1659
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 2: Thee Yeah, it was released in July, but it takes

1660
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 2: place during Christmas, right, right, So it's always an argument

1661
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 2: is it a Christmas movie or not? But Bruce Willis

1662
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 2: Danny Glover, that movie really got legs and Gary Busey, Yeah,

1663
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 2: that was an intense movie.

1664
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:53,640
Speaker 10: Yes, you know.

1665
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 2: The bad guy. He since passed the British guy. The

1666
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 2: names of it anyway, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I agree

1667
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 2: with a Christmas movie. It passes as a Christmas movie,

1668
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 2: even though ironically it was released in July. All right,

1669
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:11,640
Speaker 2: excellent job everybody, good good research and good discussion. And

1670
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 2: that is Breeze three movie round Table. By the way,

1678
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 2: I have some thoughts I want to share with you

1679
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 2: on Nil. What does it mean? Is it bad for

1680
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 2: college football? Is it good for college football? Is ruining

1681
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 2: college football? But there was a major story it took

1682
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 2: place right here in Las Vegas just three months ago,

1683
01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 2: having to do with their football team, which sort of

1684
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 2: underscores the double edged sword that nil has come, that

1685
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 2: nil has become, and how it's leaving a bad taste

1686
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 2: in a lot of people's mouths. We'll chop that up.

1687
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 2: Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle, who come be live from

1688
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tirac dot Com Studios. Keep

1689
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 2: it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on

1690
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

1691
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 1: Listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1692
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:28,200
Speaker 2: Right back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

1693
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 2: Come to your live from me tarrac dot com studios

1694
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. We had another excellent midnight hour

1695
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 2: or one of the topics. It was a college football

1696
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 2: twelve teen playoff. But everything's kind of linked, so you

1697
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 2: can't really talk about that without talking about the transfer

1698
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 2: portal and nil. And just so you know, the transfer

1699
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 2: portal is only a few years old. There's never been

1700
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 2: a year like this in the transfer portal. In the

1701
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:59,640
Speaker 2: first seven days the portal opened for undergraduates, they were

1702
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 2: already two thousand FBS players that entered the portal. Two thousand, Okay,

1703
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:09,720
Speaker 2: that could field forty rosters. By the way, last year,

1704
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 2: the record was set last year two thousand and six

1705
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 2: hundred and eleven. Now the portals open for another three weeks.

1706
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 2: They're gonna blow that record out of the water. So

1707
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 2: that's where we are, folks, and I'm not complaining. This

1708
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 2: is the hand we're dealt. We'll see if this is

1709
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:33,880
Speaker 2: assistant that sinks under its own weight, or as long

1710
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 2: as people keep watching college football, which I think we are,

1711
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 2: and you can bet out it, which people will, I don't,

1712
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 2: you know, it's just going to continue. What will happen ultimately,

1713
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 2: Remember if you're a collective and you are spending money

1714
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:52,679
Speaker 2: on a player and you don't really have any idea

1715
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 2: if he's going to pan out, or that player or

1716
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 2: that roster is going to net you a championship or

1717
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 2: whatever your ultimate goal is is. You know, there's no

1718
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:04,800
Speaker 2: you know, most rich people I know want return on

1719
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 2: their investment. They'll put up with something for a while.

1720
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 2: But let me get to my point. I told you

1721
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to. I wanted to, you know, get in

1722
01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 2: my soapbox a little bit about NIL, which conceptually a

1723
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,720
Speaker 2: few years ago, actually made a lot of sense. It's fair,

1724
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 2: all right. NIL obviously stands for name, image and like this.

1725
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 2: So the theory was, and obviously this is very idealistic

1726
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 2: that you know, you're the quarterback you know State Tech

1727
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,720
Speaker 2: and everybody knows you, and you represent the university well,

1728
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 2: and you know you own a car dealership and you

1729
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:39,760
Speaker 2: want to have him come out on a Saturday for

1730
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 2: four hours and meet and greet and save a load

1731
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:49,679
Speaker 2: of people. And now you're a business who has decided

1732
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 2: to hit your wagon to a reputable entity, a college

1733
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 2: football player that's successful everybody likes. And for that, you

1734
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:00,960
Speaker 2: know what, what you pay what if you want five grand,

1735
01:33:01,040 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 2: ten grand, whatever, That's not what this is anymore is

1736
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 2: free agency. I'm gonna go to the highest bidder, right,

1737
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:13,559
Speaker 2: And I al used to refer to Kyle's athletes making

1738
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 2: money through endorsement deals, personal business ventures, social media. It

1739
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 2: became legal in twenty twenty one. The US Supreme Court

1740
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:30,360
Speaker 2: actually rejected the NCAA's appeal, and I trust lawsuits since then.

1741
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 2: I know it's way way way over used cliche, but

1742
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 2: it is the wild West. There's no guidance, there's no regulation,

1743
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 2: there's need uniformity. Nick Saban said it best earlier Saturday

1744
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:48,640
Speaker 2: for Friday. He said, look, until they federalized this, you

1745
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 2: really can't make any progress because these states all have

1746
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 2: their own rules on how they decide to handle it. Right.

1747
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 2: So this past September UNLV there were three and zero.

1748
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 2: He end up having a pretty good year. Their quarterback,

1749
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 2: Matt's Luca, who had transferred in from Holy Cross. He

1750
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 2: up and quit after three games and sent a shock

1751
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 2: through UNLV and sent a shock through the college football world.

1752
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 2: And at that time it was an unprecedented decision, and

1753
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 2: I raised concerned about how issues surrounding INNIL could disrupt

1754
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 2: the sport. His claim was he'd been promised to one

1755
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:32,599
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. He didn't get it. They offered him

1756
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 2: something less, so he left. And this therein lies if

1757
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,599
Speaker 2: you look at the subtext to what I'm describing here,

1758
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 2: therein lies the essence. Here's where I am right now,

1759
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 2: Here's what I'm getting right now. But I can maybe

1760
01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 2: go somewhere else and get a better deal, and there's

1761
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 2: nothing stopping me, and there's no guide rails. I can

1762
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 2: do it in it for three and oh in the

1763
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,240
Speaker 2: middle of the season. I can do it if my

1764
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:07,800
Speaker 2: costumes in the playoffs. And all I know is every

1765
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 2: year and il deals become more and more common and

1766
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 2: more and more lucrative. But there's no legislation. There's no

1767
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 2: legislation that guide these agreements between players and their institutions.

1768
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 2: And I'm not into history onics where people write things like,

1769
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 2: well it's changing fast. It could be in real danger.

1770
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 2: College football is going nowhere. Stadiums are packed, there's still tradition,

1771
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 2: there's pride, and people love to watch the games, people

1772
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,479
Speaker 2: love to bet on the games. You've heard me say

1773
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 2: it a thousand times. We don't have royalty in this country,

1774
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,160
Speaker 2: our athletes and are entertainers. They are, in fact, our royalty,

1775
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 2: and these college players are becoming household names. But now

1776
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 2: you've got a situation where it's a gold rush and

1777
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 2: athletes and institutions they all want to cash in, But

1778
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:07,160
Speaker 2: at what cost, at what disruption? And your breaking commitments.

1779
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:13,160
Speaker 2: And NCAA athletes have typically played for free. You can

1780
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:15,680
Speaker 2: say that although if you're getting a scholarship, you're not

1781
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 2: playing for free. And I don't want to hear your

1782
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 2: lame ass argument that my argument is lam ass because

1783
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 2: it's not a college scholarship is a thing to behold.

1784
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:27,600
Speaker 2: For many fans, though amateurism, they also found it to

1785
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 2: be an endearing aspect, and there was some sort of

1786
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 2: this holistic you know, they're playing for pride and love

1787
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 2: of the game and honor of the institution was noble.

1788
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna I'm not gonna go down that

1789
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 2: road because you know, you'll people think I'm an idiot

1790
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 2: because things change in sports all the time, and the

1791
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 2: professionalism of college sports, I truly believe has been going

1792
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,679
Speaker 2: on for sixty years. It just went under the radar.

1793
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 2: If you honestly don't think players have been paid before

1794
01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:07,720
Speaker 2: before anybody could even spell an il, you're crazy. One

1795
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 2: of the best thirty for thirties on ESPN is The

1796
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 2: Pony Excess, the story of SMU and how they built

1797
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:18,880
Speaker 2: this team and got Eric Dickerson and Craig James and

1798
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 2: a bunch of stud players and they ran rough shot

1799
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 2: and they ended up, you know, paying dearly for it

1800
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 2: with the death penalty. And I'm not saying school pride

1801
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 2: doesn't exist anymore in college athletics, but I no longer

1802
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 2: think it's the primary source of motivation. And I also

1803
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:38,880
Speaker 2: believe that college football is like religion in many parts

1804
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 2: of the United States. And that's not hyperbolic. You've got

1805
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 2: diehard fans who absolutely pledge their undying support to their team,

1806
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 2: and they live under this illusion that the fans want

1807
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 2: to win for them, but in reality that's not the case.

1808
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 2: Every year, the best players in college football on and

1809
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 2: roll from the school they're at and they go to

1810
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:07,719
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft and they get multi billion dollar contracts.

1811
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 2: And the first thirty two picks in the NFL signed

1812
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 2: contracts for last year combined six hundred and forty million

1813
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 2: dollars now cools. Without saying most eligible players are not

1814
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 2: concerned about their degree, the alumni network, they don't care

1815
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 2: about the marching band. They want to go to the NFL. Unfortunately,

1816
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 2: in Division one college football, ninety eight point four percent

1817
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 2: of the players who play in college don't make it

1818
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 2: to the NFL. But what does the NIL do. It

1819
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 2: provides an opportunity for everyone else to earn their fair

1820
01:38:38,280 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 2: share because college football is a business, and it's a

1821
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:45,680
Speaker 2: very lucrative business, and it's propagated on the backs of

1822
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 2: student athletes who do generate money for the school, and

1823
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,960
Speaker 2: the money he's gotten so outrageous that they should not

1824
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 2: have to play for free. But there's never been TV

1825
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:58,200
Speaker 2: contracts like this, There's never been advertising deals like this.

1826
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 2: Even see at University of Michigan. Next year you watch,

1827
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:05,640
Speaker 2: you'll you'll see would they sell the rights to the

1828
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 2: Big House and call it, you know, preparation ate stadium. Hell,

1829
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they will, maybe they won't, But

1830
01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 2: it's nothing's off the table anymore because now that athletes

1831
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 2: are profiting off their name, image and likeness, and it's

1832
01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 2: really not that anymore. It's just out and out free agency.

1833
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 2: Let's face it, that money's got to come from somewhere,

1834
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 2: and if you've been pulling up year after year and

1835
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 2: you got nothing in return, well they got to find

1836
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 2: a new place to get that money and the athletes

1837
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,759
Speaker 2: there's no shame in Matt's Luca's case, his agent claimed

1838
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:42,200
Speaker 2: he was promised to Hunter Grand in a verbal cook

1839
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:45,599
Speaker 2: agreement that motivated his decision to transfer from Holy Cross.

1840
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 2: Do you want to be in the first place? The

1841
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 2: team got off to a hot start. They won their

1842
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:52,960
Speaker 2: first three games. Sluca was playing well, but he decided

1843
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 2: that he would make a money decision. He would utilize

1844
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 2: the rest of his eligibility next season with a new

1845
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 2: team for more money, and that situation stirred up a

1846
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 2: lot of emotion on both sides of the debate. Some

1847
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 2: people called Sluca quitter. They condemned him for banning his

1848
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:14,040
Speaker 2: teammates and coaches. Others claim this is an unacceptable behavior

1849
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:17,600
Speaker 2: from UNLV. It was a perfect example of how not

1850
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:23,520
Speaker 2: to navigate the nil landscape. But I don't think Sluca's

1851
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 2: case is going to be when the history books are written,

1852
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,600
Speaker 2: an isolated case. We'll talk about this more over the

1853
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,799
Speaker 2: next month, because you're gonna hear more and more crazy stories.

1854
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 2: But buckle up because it's gonna get worse for it

1855
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 2: gets better. But do I think college football is in danger?

1856
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 2: Hell no, how you kidd me? It's more popular than

1857
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:47,160
Speaker 2: ever and you know it all right. We covered all

1858
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,680
Speaker 2: on this show, including the football spelled futbol. It is

1859
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 2: time Chris profets world soccer.

1860
01:40:53,200 --> 01:41:03,959
Speaker 22: The greatest goals thrilling finishes the international drum.

1861
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 5: Aim.

1862
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer, Ernie.

1863
01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 23: Happy holidays to you and yours out and to everyone

1864
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 23: listening to the world of soccer out there. We're going

1865
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 23: to talk a little bit about a one Boxing day

1866
01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:22,800
Speaker 23: matchup I really have my eyes on. But first we

1867
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 23: have to start with MLS as they kind of look

1868
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 23: at the past year that has been for them, and

1869
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:31,240
Speaker 23: unfortunately for them, it's not great news. It's a little

1870
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 23: bit of coal in the stockings and it's one that

1871
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:36,280
Speaker 23: I've long had my suspicions about and it turns out

1872
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:39,559
Speaker 23: to be right. I worried a lot when MLS penned

1873
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:42,760
Speaker 23: this deal with Apple for them to put together the

1874
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 23: season pass on Apple TV, not part of Apple TV itself.

1875
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,560
Speaker 23: It's a multi hundred dollars add on. You have to

1876
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 23: purchase ten years to two point five billion. It's certainly

1877
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:55,840
Speaker 23: made MLS flush with money, but has it really worked?

1878
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 23: Has it been good for the game. Well, we kind

1879
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 23: of got a sign that things weren't great. So this

1880
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 23: past year all that was really on linear TV, cable

1881
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 23: and network was a thirty four game schedule on Fox,

1882
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 23: only two games from inter Miami with the Golden Child

1883
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 23: Leonel Messi and you know, the playoffs and the MLS Cup. Unfortunately,

1884
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:20,679
Speaker 23: in spite of featuring two teams from the two biggest

1885
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 23: markets in this country, LA Galaxy and Red Bull New York,

1886
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:28,600
Speaker 23: viewership for the MLS Cup was down hold on a

1887
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 23: second forty seven percent. Over half your audience vanished on

1888
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 23: a year to year. That's insane. That's enough to get

1889
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:40,680
Speaker 23: even Adam Silver up and alert and paying attention to

1890
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:44,479
Speaker 23: how bad things are going. You've lost almost half your audience.

1891
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:47,679
Speaker 23: And this isn't like something that is a passing fat.

1892
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:50,640
Speaker 23: Only a couple of years ago, this MLS Cup had

1893
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:55,720
Speaker 23: great numbers for Philadelphia Union and LAFC and kind of

1894
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 23: lead ins for a lot of these played well with

1895
01:42:58,280 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 23: other sports.

1896
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 1: And it's really the woes of.

1897
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:06,640
Speaker 23: Hiding everything on streaming you take away people who are

1898
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:09,719
Speaker 23: curious about your sport and you tell them to pound

1899
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,599
Speaker 23: rocks it. Thirty four games is not enough to get

1900
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 23: people to understand what some of these teams are, and

1901
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 23: thankfully MLS seems to have noticed, and in spite of

1902
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 23: being flush with money from Apple, they're going to try

1903
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 23: to acknowledge some of their shortcomings and plan to make

1904
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 23: some changes for twenty twenty five. Some of those changes

1905
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:32,360
Speaker 23: would be perhaps bringing back the idea that T mobile

1906
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,040
Speaker 23: subscribers will get free MLS season pass, just like T

1907
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:39,519
Speaker 23: Mobile subscribers right now get MLBtv for free each year.

1908
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 23: That was something that used to be offered, but it

1909
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,160
Speaker 23: was taken away because Lionel Messi was such a money

1910
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:47,479
Speaker 23: maker they didn't want to hand that out for free. Meanwhile, also,

1911
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:51,479
Speaker 23: MLS for some reason, doesn't really have any standalone time

1912
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:54,719
Speaker 23: slots for big marquee matchup and it's in the report

1913
01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 23: they want to create that Apple wanted to consolidate all

1914
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 23: match windows into a standard time of seven thirty pm

1915
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:05,839
Speaker 23: local to form habitual viewing. But really, without marquee matchups,

1916
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 23: I'm not sure that's a great idea at the end

1917
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:11,519
Speaker 23: of the day, And you really need to highlight specific teams.

1918
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: You need to get back more on linear TV.

1919
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 23: It will make Apple mad, I'm sure, but you need

1920
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 23: ways for people to access and get curious about this.

1921
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 23: Maybe there are a lot of people internationally who bought

1922
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 23: season pass because they want to watch Lenel Messi. But

1923
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 23: you know what, you have to grow the game here

1924
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 23: here in North America. You have to be a league

1925
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 23: here here in North America. This is something I've always

1926
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 23: been frustrated about in the streaming era, Bernie, is that

1927
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 23: I fear that as we go behind our gated walls,

1928
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 23: we will lose have people lose access and stop watching

1929
01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 23: because they just won't be curious about what they're not seeing.

1930
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:47,400
Speaker 23: And it seems like MLS is learning some of those pitfalls.

1931
01:44:47,880 --> 01:44:50,719
Speaker 23: Now over to England, over to the UK and onto

1932
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 23: Boxing Day. For those who don't know, Boxing Day is

1933
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:57,000
Speaker 23: part of the Christmas Time holidays in the United Kingdom.

1934
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 23: It was once a holiday to donate gifts to those

1935
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 23: in need, but it's basically become another shopping gay to

1936
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:07,719
Speaker 23: get after Christmas deals and it is a celebrated across

1937
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 23: of the UK and former Commonwealth of Nations. But it's

1938
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 23: also a day where we get plenty of soccer in

1939
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 23: the Premier League. And there's quite a few matchups on

1940
01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:21,479
Speaker 23: this day that are really interesting to watch. Manchester City

1941
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 23: is playing Manchester City who has been in a lot

1942
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 23: of trouble as of late, dropping the Manchester Derby and

1943
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 23: awaiting and really falling behind in the standings. Chelsea playing

1944
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:35,679
Speaker 23: Everton in a very interesting matchup, and I really believe

1945
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:39,240
Speaker 23: that Chelsea might be the one team that can challenge

1946
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 23: Liverpool for the Premiership this year, notwithstanding Arsenal or maybe

1947
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 23: Nottingham Forest. Now I've got some reservations in Notmeningham Forest.

1948
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:51,560
Speaker 23: I'll explain that, but let's talk about Nottingham Forest. This

1949
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 23: is a club that just got promoted a couple of

1950
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 23: years ago and really they had clawed their way back

1951
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,120
Speaker 23: to the Premiership. They were one of the founding members

1952
01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:01,360
Speaker 23: of the Premier League League and this is a club

1953
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 23: with a lot of history. Founded in eighteen sixty five,

1954
01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 23: they are champions from the nineteen seventy eight First Division season,

1955
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 23: the four runners to the Premier League, and they have

1956
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 23: won the European Cup twice in the eighties, which is

1957
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 23: now the AEFA Champions League. They were the toast of

1958
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 23: Europe in the eighties, but the nineties really saw the

1959
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 23: club fall on some really really hard times and they

1960
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 23: returned to the Premier League in twenty twenty two by

1961
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 23: winning playoffs and now right now they have had a

1962
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,599
Speaker 23: fantastic start to the year. They are right now coming

1963
01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:39,040
Speaker 23: into this weekend on Friday, sitting in fourth place with

1964
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 23: twenty eight points, two behind Arsenal, which means if they

1965
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 23: the season ended today, they would be in the Champions League.

1966
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 23: That's incredible and a lot of their success is coming

1967
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:54,759
Speaker 23: from their forward Chris Wood. Of the twenty one goals

1968
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 23: scored in Premier League play this year by Nottingham Forest,

1969
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 23: Chris Wood has ten of them. He has over half

1970
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 23: of them. But that's also why I start to get

1971
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 23: a little concerned about Nottingham Forrest.

1972
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:06,519
Speaker 2: In the long term.

1973
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 23: That kind of imbalance kind of shows you that, hey,

1974
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 23: you got to be careful. Maybe there might be an

1975
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,800
Speaker 23: injury down the road that really screws up this, or

1976
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 23: maybe there's something that really kind of falls apart. Either way,

1977
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 23: they are a fantastic story right now. I have my

1978
01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 23: reservations on them. On Boxing Day, they will be playing

1979
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:29,680
Speaker 23: Tottenham Hotspur, a good club, not a great club, but

1980
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:32,800
Speaker 23: that will be one hell of a matchup ten am

1981
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 23: Easter and seven am Pacific. Something to really keep an

1982
01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 23: eye on. That will be the real treat of Boxing

1983
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 23: Day as we continue to see if Nottingham can keep

1984
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:45,680
Speaker 23: pace with the giants of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea for

1985
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 23: this Premier League season.

1986
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 1: That'll do it for us.

1987
01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 23: Bernie, Happy holidays to everyone out there and we'll see

1988
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 23: you soon for the new year. On the world of soccer.

1989
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:56,600
Speaker 2: You know, it was funny. I living in Detroit, we

1990
01:47:56,680 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 2: had great awareness of Boxing Day because Detroit's basically across

1991
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:04,759
Speaker 2: the street from Canada. Boxing Days the day after Christmas,

1992
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 2: of course, December twenty sixth, and it's sort of like

1993
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 2: the Canadian Christmas, I think. But there you have it.

1994
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 2: Christ Prophet's World Soccer coming up, all right, We had

1995
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 2: a listen. It was twenty seven to three or two

1996
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 2: minutes to go. So you can't say Indiana Notre Dame

1997
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 2: was a great game, not at all. But it was

1998
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 2: a legitimate playoff game, and it felt like a playoff game,

1999
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 2: and it felt different and felt significant and for me,

2000
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 2: that was good enough. And as I said at the

2001
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 2: top of the show. You know, we've had Super Bowls

2002
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,240
Speaker 2: that were blots, We've had NFL playoff games blots, college

2003
01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:48,400
Speaker 2: football games blows. So le Mir mentioned that Indiana, I

2004
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 2: can't really say they looked a part completely. Did they compete, absolutely,

2005
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 2: But see, here's the thing college football, you got better

2006
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:57,320
Speaker 2: athletes on one side of the ball in every game.

2007
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:02,760
Speaker 2: The margin maybe narrow, but regardless, it's just the way

2008
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 2: it shakes out. Notre Dame's got some NFL athletes in

2009
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:09,640
Speaker 2: Indiana dozen and give Kurt Signetti a hell of a

2010
01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 2: pat on the back for the job he did this year.

2011
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 2: Heading into Friday's game, they lost one game at Ohio State,

2012
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 2: and so they deserve to be there by the framework

2013
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:22,400
Speaker 2: and the criterion, which once these things are done, now

2014
01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:24,720
Speaker 2: they deserve to be there. But it's one of four.

2015
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 2: We got a triple header to look forward to, and

2016
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:31,759
Speaker 2: the first game here kicks off in about seven hours

2017
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:35,840
Speaker 2: and about seven and a half hours, so I want

2018
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 2: to we're gonna talk about the triple header and give

2019
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:43,320
Speaker 2: you my thoughts and some matchup criteria shortly after the

2020
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:46,400
Speaker 2: show or podcasts will be going up. If you missed

Speaker 2: Frattle Show comedy live from the tarrac dot Com studios

2031
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Before I go any further in

2032
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 2: the remaining minutes of the show, I want to thank

2033
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:29,639
Speaker 2: my broadcast team back in Los Angeles, Mark and Brienna.

2034
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 2: Excellent job. Appreciate all the hard work turning all to

2035
01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 2: the dials, keeping us glued together, handling the callers the segments.

2036
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 2: Excellent job. Appreciate the teamwork very much. All right, we

2037
01:50:44,280 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 2: have a triple header later today, and if I can

2038
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 2: only watch one of the three games, it would probably

2039
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 2: be Tennessee Ohio State, because I think it'll be the

2040
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 2: most competitive. But I'd be lying if I'm mildly curious

2041
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:04,760
Speaker 2: as to how the Penn State game unfolds. I think

2042
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 2: it's going to be a chalk day again Saturday. I

2043
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:11,080
Speaker 2: believe at least two of the three favorites will cover.

2044
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:16,200
Speaker 2: The favorite covered Friday Night. But this Penn State team look.

2045
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 2: The best thing that ever happened to Penn State was

2046
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:24,599
Speaker 2: the twelve team playoff. This really gave them a chance.

2047
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:28,000
Speaker 2: Who there's not a dot in my mind if it

2048
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:29,600
Speaker 2: had been the same four team deal they've been on

2049
01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 2: the outside looking in again, they would not have made it.

2050
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:34,559
Speaker 2: They didn't beat Oregon, they didn't beat Ohio State. They

2051
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 2: were't getting in. They weren't getting in a four team

2052
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 2: made for TV tournament. But this twelve team deal gives

2053
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 2: them a chance now to play postseason football. And knowing

2054
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:46,640
Speaker 2: that they took full advantage. They actually made it to

2055
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:49,200
Speaker 2: the Big Ten title game for the first time in

2056
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 2: eight years and even earned the right to host a

2057
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 2: playoff game. And that's good news for them because they

2058
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 2: got a SMU draw whose average temperature in their games

2059
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 2: this year has been two degrees. You probably already heard

2060
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 2: that seventy two times. And it's going to be cold

2061
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,759
Speaker 2: in Happy Valley. Sub freezing temperatures could be in the twenties,

2062
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 2: and I think that's always overrated. These are football players, man,

2063
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,640
Speaker 2: they know how to deal with Payton, all right. The

2064
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:21,679
Speaker 2: difference is going to be probably the company that Penn

2065
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:25,639
Speaker 2: State kept versus the company has MU kept. But listen,

2066
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:28,800
Speaker 2: you put two teams on the field. This is why

2067
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:32,600
Speaker 2: I like this twelve team format. It's going to be

2068
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:36,280
Speaker 2: decided on the field. And if Kevin Jennings, who was

2069
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:38,320
Speaker 2: an electric athlete, he's the quarterback and took over for

2070
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:43,000
Speaker 2: SMU and instead running back for Shard Smith, they're averaging,

2071
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 2: you know, thirty eight points a game. Offense can travel.

2072
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:50,639
Speaker 2: Can they do it against Penn State and a little

2073
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:55,880
Speaker 2: bit more physical defense? You know Indiana, who I tip

2074
01:52:55,920 --> 01:52:58,680
Speaker 2: a cap to. They didn't moved ballwell against Michigan. They

2075
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 2: moved ballwell in Ohio State, and they didn't do it

2076
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:04,360
Speaker 2: against Notre Dame either. And the Nitty Lions have shown

2077
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 2: they can put up points this year as long as

2078
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:10,759
Speaker 2: you're not playing you know, Michigan, Ohio State or Oregon

2079
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:14,040
Speaker 2: or somebody really good. I don't know if they'd beat Texas.

2080
01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:16,360
Speaker 2: We're again it's going to be decided on the field.

2081
01:53:17,320 --> 01:53:19,799
Speaker 2: You got a quarterback Drew Aller, who's probably a little underrated,

2082
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:22,240
Speaker 2: but he's had a fine year. He's coming back for

2083
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 2: another year, but he's put up some good numbers. And

2084
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:28,840
Speaker 2: you've got Tyler Warren, who's a Mackie Award winning tight end.

2085
01:53:29,479 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 2: You got the two, You've got the duel running back

2086
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 2: of k Tron Allen and Nicholas Singleton and so James,

2087
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:40,400
Speaker 2: you know, Matt James Franklin has weapons. And Penn State's

2088
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:42,760
Speaker 2: defense has only given us sixteen points a game, right,

2089
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 2: so it feels like it's a Penn State win, like

2090
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:49,719
Speaker 2: a twenty eight to twenty thirty to twenty game. Styles

2091
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:52,960
Speaker 2: make fights, and their styles here. SMU has got better

2092
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 2: team speed than Penn State. Penn State's more of a

2093
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:57,560
Speaker 2: power team. The winner they get a trip to the

2094
01:53:57,640 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 2: Fiesta Bowl to play at Boise State, which is no slouch.

2095
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:04,640
Speaker 2: All right, no slouch. You gotta play them on the

2096
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:07,240
Speaker 2: blue field too, And how did how the hell did

2097
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:09,200
Speaker 2: Penn State pull that off? Which is the biggest beef

2098
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:11,880
Speaker 2: of the I mean, they lose to Oregon, they lose

2099
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:18,200
Speaker 2: to Ohio State, they lose to Let's see, I said

2100
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 2: all three year earlier and I checked that. I apologize

2101
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:24,400
Speaker 2: Penn State lost only two games Oregon and Ohio State.

2102
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:26,479
Speaker 2: Oregon won all three their games they played the tournament

2103
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 2: Penn State, Ohiose State, and Boise. So there you have it.

2104
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 2: That kicks off a little over seven hours from now,

2105
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:37,080
Speaker 2: and I'm sure James Franklin would love to just turn

2106
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 2: this into a classic big ten game, fist fight and

2107
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:47,480
Speaker 2: phone booth, cold weather conditions. And you know, Penn State

2108
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:51,480
Speaker 2: got this hot offensive coordinator Andy koodle Nikki. We'll see

2109
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:53,720
Speaker 2: if he can dial it up on the matter. I

2110
01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:55,480
Speaker 2: don't feel like Penn State's gonna have a lot of

2111
01:54:55,480 --> 01:54:57,880
Speaker 2: trouble at SMU. They might for two or three quarters.

2112
01:54:58,280 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 2: That's not a slat at SMU. I just have to

2113
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 2: go with what I saw when they ran into a

2114
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:06,320
Speaker 2: physical defense against BYU, and I felt like there was

2115
01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:09,400
Speaker 2: a little too big for them against Clemson. Let's see

2116
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:13,440
Speaker 2: prove me wrong. I think enoughset this weekend would be

2117
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 2: good for the sport. Wasn't gonna happen in Indiana. I

2118
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:18,800
Speaker 2: don't know if it's gonna happen in Penn State, could

2119
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 2: happen in Texas. They're up to fourteen now, very tough

2120
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 2: spot for Clemson. Davilos. Swinney has nothing to lose. He's

2121
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 2: got the lowest rated squad in the playoff, the twelve seed.

2122
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:31,160
Speaker 2: But for the Tigers to pull off this upset, it's

2123
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 2: gonna have to be cap Klubnick. He's gonna have to

2124
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 2: have a huge game on the ground and in the air.

2125
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:38,360
Speaker 2: You get your running back Phil Maffa. He's been banged

2126
01:55:38,440 --> 01:55:40,800
Speaker 2: up for most of the season. He's supposed to play Saturday.

2127
01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 2: Texas will be able to open up running lanes. I believe,

2128
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:48,840
Speaker 2: even though Clemson has a very talented front, and I

2129
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:50,840
Speaker 2: think this is gonna be one of those situations where

2130
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:54,200
Speaker 2: you'll see a game Clemson team and you get to

2131
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 2: about the halfway through the third quarter or the fourth

2132
01:55:57,280 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 2: quarter and Texas flexes their muscles, have better athletes than

2133
01:56:00,880 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 2: they have more of them. All Right, the stakes are high.

2134
01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:08,400
Speaker 2: Texas has football experience, playoff experience. They got depth of quarterback,

2135
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 2: they gotta shut down defense. There are only two losses.

2136
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:13,960
Speaker 2: We're both against Georgia, and by the way, Clemson lost

2137
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:18,080
Speaker 2: to Georgia two thirty four to three. We'll see Clemson's

2138
01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:19,840
Speaker 2: got the DNA too. But I don't think I don't

2139
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:23,280
Speaker 2: think they have the chance against Texas. We'll see. I'm

2140
01:56:23,320 --> 01:56:25,200
Speaker 2: on the air Saturday night at eleven pm. You can

2141
01:56:26,080 --> 01:56:29,720
Speaker 2: call me out if I'm wrong. Tennessee, Ohio say, it's interesting,

2142
01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:32,920
Speaker 2: it's the most intriguing. It's the toughest to predict. On paper,

2143
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State, you'd win this game based on talent and

2144
01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 2: homefield advantage. However, after watching them lose to Michigan, I'm

2145
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:43,040
Speaker 2: hearing the cloud is still hanging over Columbus and they're

2146
01:56:43,080 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 2: gonna have to let it go. Dylan Samson gets going

2147
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 2: for Tennessee. He's one of the best in the nation,

2148
01:56:49,320 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 2: and the buck out the Buckeyes front seven is not

2149
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:54,960
Speaker 2: as great as it's been in the past. And if

2150
01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:58,480
Speaker 2: they evolves have success with Sampson early, guess what now,

2151
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 2: it opens it up for Nico. Maybe take some shots.

2152
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 2: The volunteers, by the way, have an excellent defense as

2153
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 2: good as Michigan's. This feels like a game Ohio State

2154
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty. It's probably the most interesting first

2155
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:15,080
Speaker 2: round game. But if there is an upset of the four,

2156
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 2: that's the one where it could happen. I'm not predicting it,

2157
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 2: but that's the one work could happen anyway, Slice it.

2158
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 2: I'll be back on these airwaves again Saturday night, eleven pm,

2159
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 2: breaking down not only the college games, but the doubleheader

2160
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:28,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL and looking ahead to the NFL's late

2161
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 2: and all the storylines that'll do it for the Bernie

2162
