24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,520

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: rare times I'm not home. I'm in the place that

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 4: I was born, but it's not home for me anymore.

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 4: I'm sitting in Vegas. So I'm actually looking right now

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: over at the strip in the middle of the night,

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 4: some guy's yacking in the hallway, Like this is the

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: perfect backdrop to everything just starting absolutely the way that

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: you know we wanted to here. So I'm feeling the energy,

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: feeling the vibe. Can't wait, man, Saturdays are gonna be electric.

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: Well listen, I mean think about it, right, if we're

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: talking Fellas and there's got to be a Vegas element

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: to the Fellas, you know what I'm saying, Like it's

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: part of the DNA the Fellas to have a Vegas element.

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: And let's get this full circle, right, because I really

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 2: want to explain this to our audience. So about oh, man,

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: sixteen seventeen years ago, we started the Fellas. It was

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: me and mister Raider, Lincoln Kennedy and Mike dear dear

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: friend Lincoln Kennedy, and we did the show for years,

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: I mean up until Link had to step away a

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, about a year and a half

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: ago because of some health stuff and last year was

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: our first football season that he was going. Now, remember

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: Link is still the voice of the Raiders with Bret

47
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: Mosberger and he's like one of the greatest. So we

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: always thought that we had this camaraderie, right. We have

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: our producers, we have our man Kevin Figures, our beloved

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: figure who just heard the update. He will be hearing

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: with us all the time. We got our producer, Shay

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: Mighty Mark, our sound engineer, and now we get Fitsy.

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: And I'm so excited for Jason because Jason Fitz is

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: exactly a fella. And I missed my Link right, like

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: my Big Link was my was one of my best friends.

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: We grew up with. It's funny a day apart we

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: were born. And so I think it's a perfect like

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: fit that FITZI is an incredible Raiders fan, like you're

59
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: you are born, you love the Raids. The Raiders are

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: such a part of your life. And Big Link was

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: mister Raider.

62
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: I mean the first time I ever met and he

63
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: probably doesn't even know this, but the first time I

64
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: ever met Link, like I found like I was like

65
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: a kid at.

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: A boy band concert, you know, like you.

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: Got that moment where you're like, oh my god, like right,

68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: it hits different, but yeah, you're right, Like you know

69
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: for me, and so many people have asked, why is

70
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 4: it for anyone that doesn't know my story?

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: For years, I was a musician, and you know, I

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to.

73
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: Tour Grammy Award winning musician, you.

74
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: Know, and at the time, I was to room with

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: one of the biggest country music bands in the world.

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: And you know, when I left that band, we had

77
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: the fourth biggest song of all time in that genre,

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: and like we were crushing it. But like what I

79
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: was always passionate about was actually sports. So I left

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: music to talk about sports. And that's because of the Raiders.

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: It's so funny. I grew up in Vegas, an La

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 4: Raiders fan that became an Oakland Raiders fan that's now

83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: a Vegas Raiders fan. Right, Like, my worlds have collided.

84
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: But I'm sitting here, I'm pacing around in my room.

85
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the strip and in my reflection, I

86
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: can see my right arm is the tattoo of everywhere

87
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: I've ever lived. In the moments I'm proudest stuff, and

88
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: one of those is the outline of the Raiders shield

89
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: with the American flag in it because I was lucky

90
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: enough to play the national anthem on the fiddle for

91
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: the Raiders when they were in Oakland, and it was

92
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: such a cool moment for me, Like I was such

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: a w I had so much adrenaline getting to do

94
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: that for my favorite football team.

95
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: It's funny that now.

96
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: I get to sit around and talk about sports, and yes,

97
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 4: I always managed to find a way to just cram

98
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: my beloved Raiders into the conversation.

99
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: So y'all, it's gonna have to get used to that.

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: Like that's just part of life.

101
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: Listen, that's what it should be. Man that listen, that's

102
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: part of it. Like we're so geeked, and people that

Speaker 4: room here, They're like, Figgy is a cool nickname.

113
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: Becuz is it?

114
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: Like y'all like y'all got the nickname thing, Like the

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: fella's got the nickname thing figured out here, Like Figgy

116
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: is just getting figgy with it. Like there's so many

117
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 4: things that this is. This is just life right here.

118
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's funny. So Kevin, Right, So when

119
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: we first started, when Kevin first started came on our show,

120
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: I grew up with a kid in South Philly named Figgy.

121
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: That was his nickname. And so when I'm for some reason,

122
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: I just started calling Kevin Figgy because I just thought

123
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: it fit perfect. Like he's got a great personality, He's

124
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: just a great dude. And that's what this guy, Figgy

125
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: was growing up in South Philly. That's what he was, Figgy.

126
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: And so I met Kevin and I was like, he

127
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: reminds me of Figgy. He's a Figgy. And you know,

128
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: I tend to do this. I nickname a lot of

129
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: people because growing up everybody had nickname bones, right, it

130
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: was Billy Bones, Tommy Horsehead, there was there was like

131
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 2: a there's like a million you'll hear these stories. I'll

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: regaluate a lot of these stories. I just he's got

133
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: two fingers, he lost he's got fingers, he lost fingers

134
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: and gambling.

135
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 4: In my mind's eye, Tommy Horsehead is now like a

136
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 4: doctor and every time he sees his buddies, you guys

137
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 4: just still call him that and he's like, guys, come on,

138
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: like I'm doing well now, Like you know, it's there's

139
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: nothing more Philly than the fact that, like everybody has

140
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: the perfect nickname.

141
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: That's an absolutely right on brand with that.

142
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean it seems like it. You should

143
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: see like every kid, every kid had that name. They

144
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: had some kind of some kind of way about them,

145
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: and it was kind of growing up that way. And

146
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: so you're being a perfect fella, you'll have some I

147
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: don't know what it is, because it's funny. Your last

148
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: name is fits right, so it feels like a nickname.

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: It feels more like a nickname than a last name.

150
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

151
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: Well, this is where I got beef with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

152
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 4: And he doesn't even know it because, like see, everybody

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: that has Fitzpatrick, Fitzgerald, fitz Simmons, they all go by fitz.

154
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: I didn't have a choice.

155
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: It's just fits for me, Like that's it. It's just fits.

156
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: And in sixth grade there were six Jason F's in

157
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: my class.

158
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: That was the first.

159
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: That was the first year of my life that teachers

160
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 4: started calling me Fits. And that's all I've been called

161
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: my whole life. So like fits is cool, it's fine.

162
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: It's just common. Like there's so everybody's taking it like

163
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: it's not Fits magic, by the way, It's like, couldn't

164
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: have been Fitzpatrick magic. That's still what it worked, like

Speaker 4: TP magic or something like he's out here taking my

166
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: last name. So it just doesn't feel as special sometimes,

00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: in your life right now.

201
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think I laugh about it all

202
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: the time when people are like, oh, how do you

203
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: get to where you are in life? And I'm like, well,

204
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: I guess if you want to talk about sports every day,

205
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 4: you just practice violin.

206
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I've had the.

207
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: Luckiest life, you know, and certainly I've worked my tail

208
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: off to get all of it. But yeah, I grew

209
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: up a music kid that practiced eight hours a day

210
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: by the time I was eight years old. Like I

211
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: played Juilliard or I got into Julliard when I was ten.

212
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 4: I played Carnegie Hall when I was ten. I thought

213
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: I was going to be this little, you know, classical

214
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 4: music prodigy. And as I got older in life, I

215
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: realized that, you know, the fiddle was a lot better

216
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: than the violin, Like the girls like it more.

217
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: And you practice less.

218
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: So I transitioned in life over to you know, eventually

219
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 4: ended up in Nashville and played on a bunch of records,

220
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: played on everything from Matchbox twenty records to Tim McGraw

221
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 4: records and kind of everything in between. And you know,

222
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: through that process linked up most notably with the bam Perry,

223
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: and I was lucky enough to tour the world. I

224
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: spent years touring the world and If I Die Young

225
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: was you know, a massive hit for the band. And

226
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: we were able to literally play everywhere. I think the

227
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: biggest crowd we ever played in front of was one

228
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 4: hundred and ten thousand, and we were all over the world,

229
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 4: man like, there's we toured through you know, Europe and

230
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 4: Japan and you know Norway and all like everywhere in

231
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: the world that you can imagine. Everything I wanted to

232
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 4: do I got to do. And the weirdest part about

233
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: it is that our busiest year, our busiest year, we

234
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: were gone three hundred days on the road, and I

235
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: just you know, I came home and I was like, God,

236
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: I'm so thankful to do what I do, and I'm

237
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: good at what I do, but I don't love it,

238
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: Like it doesn't feed my soul anymore.

239
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Just it wasn't the thing that really like drove me.

240
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: And so the question was what does And you know,

241
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: the question I was asked is if you if you

242
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 4: asked a hundred of your friends what you really care about,

243
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: what would the answer be? And I said sports, And

244
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 4: so you know it was, hey, find a way to

245
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: talk about it. So I started a podcast before people

246
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: did that, and I would take all of my gear

247
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: with me out on the road and I go from

248
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: you know, city to city, and I talked to music

249
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 4: guys about sports and sports guys about music. And that

250
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 4: was like twenty thirteen, and I was just man, I

251
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: was just trying to get ESPN to notice me someday.

252
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: That was the dream, right, and they did.

253
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: And in twenty sixteen, I got a call and it

254
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 4: was a hey, we're going to offer you a college

255
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 4: football show on ESPN. You a tiny show with Michael

256
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: Luke Junior and man that we can fire you after

257
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: one episode if it stinks. So I went to the

258
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 4: band and I said, I'm gonna go do this and

259
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: they said great, and then a week before the show,

260
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: they said, never mind, we don't really want to let

261
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: you take that time off.

262
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: So I quit the band without any idea how I

263
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: was going to make my bills.

264
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: I had no idea if they were going to keep me,

265
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 4: and I had no idea if I could actually do

266
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: this thing. And I went into Charlotte, North Carolina, and

267
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 4: I did my first ever TV show and.

268
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: Lucky, thank god, it went well.

269
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: And you know, the crazy thing is Right around that time, Nashville,

270
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: where I'd lived for twenty years, had an opening on

271
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: their morning show and I knew somebody there at the

272
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 4: ESPN there, and they called and said, Herd, you quit

273
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 4: the band. You want to come over here and do

274
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 4: some radio for pennies. And I said, oh my god, yes,

275
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: I will do it. And they helped change my life too.

276
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: So I just started grinding. And man, I was like

277
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 4: sleeping on the couch in that studio because I was

278
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: doing overnight subwork for ESPN Radio. I'd sleep on the couch,

279
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: I get up and I'd do the morning show in Nashville,

280
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: and that just I was like, man, any rep I

281
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 4: can get anyway, I can get out there. Just let

282
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 4: people hear that I'm good at this and I could

283
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: do this, and that that's what got me to ESPN.

284
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: And so that's what.

285
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: It's a great story, dude.

286
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: It's a long story. But you know, it's a long story.

287
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: But you know, but all that to say, man, like

288
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: you know when that came to an end. The coolest

289
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: thing for me ever is that when it came to

290
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: an end. I think anybody that's done anything can appreciate

291
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: Sometimes you think your value is assigned to one place.

292
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 4: And the coolest thing for me that happened is the

293
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: day that it came to an end. So many people

294
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: reached out and then so many people started talking to me,

295
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: and then what do you know, you blink and all

296
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 4: of a sudden, I land here, and I land with

297
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 4: Yahoo Sports doing all of their video on demand stuff

298
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 4: and digital content, and like, my life has.

299
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: Never been better.

300
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 4: I've literally never been more excited about my career than

301
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: I am right now. And that's crazy to say, considering

302
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: a few months ago. Just you look around in your

303
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: shell shock. You have no idea what's happening.

304
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can only imagine it. And you know, it's

305
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: so fascinating that here you were playing in front of

306
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: thousands of people on hearing the applause and the same

307
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: way that athletes hear the applause, and the athletes sell

308
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: out the stadiums, and you're selling out stadiums. And it's

309
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: kind of cool because it's very relatable, I think, for

310
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: you to the athlete.

311
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 4: You know, honestly, the biggest thing that I learned right

312
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: away in this business is like everything is about the

313
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: sacrifice you put in and the work you put in

314
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: and the music world in the sports world are so

315
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: similar in that the number of athletes that are now

316
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: close friends, and I think it's just because we all

317
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 4: understand kind of the grind it takes behind the scenes. Yeah,

318
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: the work you spend as a kid, the sacrifice you

319
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: give in your life, all the things you're trying to do,

320
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: the time you give up with your family to try

321
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: and do things like these are these are all things

322
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: that they're commonalities, right Like, So it's it's really incredible

323
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: that the number of athletes that have embraced me in

324
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 4: this process. And I think what's really worked for me

325
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 4: doing what we do, like honestly, is that I've never

326
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: forgotten my fandom. Like I am here because I am

327
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 4: a fan and I always want to be the voice

328
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 4: of fans, you know. And I think that that's what

329
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: relates people to me. When the Raiders win, I have

330
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: a better week. When they lose, I have a worse week,

331
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 4: and I'm living it and breathing it just like everybody

332
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: else is. And I think that's that helps me connect.

333
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: As long as we can stay real, I think that

334
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: that that's the real fiber that brings all this together.

335
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny because you and I very kidred spirits,

336
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: you know, because I love I love sports. It's you know,

337
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: I'm the big believer sports stage the world not to

338
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: be you know, overly modeling about it, but I believe it.

339
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: I believe in in the power of sports. I think

340
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: sports built churches. Like you think about you know, people

341
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: who are together right who and you feel it it's organic,

342
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: like you're let's take Raider fans like you and FIGI

343
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: and all the Raider Nation. You know, you guys are

344
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: brought together and you might not know each other, and

345
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: you come from all different walks of life, but your

346
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters you know inside Raider Nation and it's

347
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: and it's organic and and God wants you to be together.

348
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm a big believer in that. So I think sports

349
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: actually builds churches, and it's an honest way of getting

350
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: people together. All you want is people to connect and

351
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: have and share this love, and sports will do that

352
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: for you. I'm you know, the way you feel about

353
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: the Raiders and Las Vegas. Of course, I like that

354
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: with Philadelphia. I was, you know, born and raised in Philly.

355
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: I moved I was leedwork to Chicago. I worked in

356
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: New York travel extensively, did the whole thing. I was

357
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: a writer, and then I still I went back home

358
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: to Philly because that's kind of where my heart is.

359
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: And so I'm a big proponent of the city of

360
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 2: Philadelphia and I think it's bad rap so I'm always

361
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: defending it all the time and it's a part of me.

362
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: So I think we mets a lot in that way.

363
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: So I'm very excited about how you're going to fit

364
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 2: in with, you know, Figgie and Shay, Mighty Mark and

365
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: the crew, and it's just going to be a lot

366
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: of fun.

367
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: Man.

368
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: You know, what you said about Philly, by the way,

369
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: is one of the coolest things about everybody I've met

370
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: from Philly, you know, And it's something that makes certain

371
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: cities special. Like as you've identified each of the fellas

372
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: part of what you've identified is where they're from. That

373
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 4: speaks to what Philly is and what Philly is to you,

374
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 4: and it speaks to what Vegas is to me. It's

375
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: it's one of the interesting things that you know in

376
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: a world, because you're right, you know, fandom is what

377
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 4: brings us together. Look at fantasy football, man, like that's

378
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 4: we all come together during fantasy football because we want

379
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 4: to have this moment together as fans and friends. We

380
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 4: want to experience the highs and lows together, right, Like

381
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 4: that's the whole reason. You know, sports books are huge

382
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: and fantasy football and we want to share this stuff.

383
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're absolutely right, Like it's it's incredible when

384
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 4: you think about, you know, cities and backgrounds and how

385
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: they can define so much of who we are. And

386
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 4: it's it's a beautiful thing about the Fellas.

387
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: Let's go.

388
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 2: I love it all right, we got lots to do

389

Speaker 2: and obviously we got a monster, a monster football game

390

426
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: Cousin Fitz, Figgie, Mighty Mark and of course that's our group,

427
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: that's the fellas, And we got a big game, boys,

428
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: because the big neon kickoff on Fox is Coach Prime

429
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: against Nebraska and my man Mattie Rowell as these storied rivals, Jase,

430
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: I mean not for nothing. I mean it's Colorado Nebraska.

431
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: How awesome is that today?

432
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

433
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 4: Well, and the part of this is, you know you

434
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 4: mentioned coach Prime without Coach Prime or we talk about

435
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 4: this game this way. I mean, this is really interesting

436
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: because Colorado is the focal point of college football right now.

437
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 4: We all know that Georgia Alabama, we know that there

438
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 4: are great teams out there that will take over the conversation,

439
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: but for right now, the conversation is completely based on

440
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 4: Coach Prime. And he's doing it different right like, not

441
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: just from the transfer portal portion of this, which is interesting,

442
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 4: but also from the empowerment player position of this, because

443
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 4: if you think about it, Saban over here has been

444
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 4: one type of coach, right like, he's this, you know,

445
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 4: he's sort of the crotchety old, you know, grandpa sort

446
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: of guy on the soccer. And then you've got the

447
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 4: way Dabo's done it for years, where he's a much

448
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 4: different personality. Prime comes in now and says, Okay, I'm

449
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 4: gonna do it this way, and coach Prime comes in.

450
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: He wants his players to be this big personality. He

451
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 4: wants to let them play free, all of these things.

452
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 4: He's basically coming out and showing everybody the blueprint for

453
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: creating a college football program that's based completely on free agency.

454
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: If this works, it'll change the way people approach college

455
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 4: football every year.

456
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's brilliant, I mean, the whole thing. But

457
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: the other part of it is he is such an

458
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: incredible figure, right Like, so he's so charismatic that and

459
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: the whole belief thing and his son and the way

460
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: the whole thing is put together is just completely awesome.

461
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: It's fascinating. It's such a great story and his messaging

462
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: and getting everything out you know on social media halftime

463
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: speeches like you. It's genius because I think everyone feels

464
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 2: kind of embedded in their ride.

465
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 4: But what's interesting about that and what makes it so smart,

466
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 4: is that all we've talked about for the last week

467
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 4: are tremendous positives because Colorado pulls off an upset. What

468
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: we haven't talked about for a second is the Colorado's defense.

469
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it.

470
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: They gave up five hundred and forty yards, they gave

471
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 4: up forty two points. They didn't have a single sack

472
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 4: or tackle for loss, like they got carved up on

473
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball. We ain't talking about that,

474
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 4: but we don't need to because we've got over here

475
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: this great distraction of Yeah, but look at how great

476
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: it was and how explosive it was, and should Ur

477
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 4: Sanders played so well? Travis Hunter played so well, like

478
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 4: Prime sort of there's a way that he handles all

479
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 4: of this business that is almost like, you know, as

480
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 4: great a coach as he can be, we'll see, but

481
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 4: right now it's almost like, hey, pay no attention to

482
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: this over here, just pay attention to me.

483
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: And while he does that, it sort of distracts.

484
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 4: Everybody from what Colorado shortcomings are, which is why I

485
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 4: think today's game is interesting.

486
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 2: Oh it's completely fascinating. But again, if you're going into

487
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: the season, I was fascinated by what, you know, what

488
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: they could be. But again, they were a three touchdown

489
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: on the dog right to TCU, so I'm not thinking

490
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: that they're, you know, a national powerhouse. So you know,

491
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: especially along their fronts right their front, I mean, you

492
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: know they're not. They're not Alabama or Georgia across their front.

493
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: So I was expecting some vulnerability. I was not expecting

494
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: that offensive display though, and the way those kids left

495
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: it out there, I just, I mean, like everybody else,

496
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: it's hard not to fall in love with that story.

497
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're so right about the lines and the

498
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: way they played too. I think the other variable that

499
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: I expected was, look, we have no idea what they

500
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 4: were going to look like on offense, so it didn't

501
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 4: surprise me in the first half that TCU didn't really

502
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: know what was coming, and Colorado played with so much

503
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: pace and they were getting out there and they were

504
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: confusing TCU. TCU has a really good coaching staff, so

505
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 4: I thought there'd be some great adjustment where we normalize

506
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 4: and then the second half, all of a sudden, TCU

507
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: would run away and instead to give you know, coach prime.

508
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 4: In that entire staff of Colorado credit, it felt like

509
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 4: they were one step ahead. So I'm also interested in

510
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 4: you know, Matt Ruhle is going to go in and

511
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: have a week of film, So what differences do we

512
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 4: see when you've had a week of film to look

513
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 4: at Colorado? These are all of the things without you know,

514
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 4: making Dion feel like I don't believe what I think

515
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 4: are fair without you know, belief one way or the other.

516
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to say, hey, I'd like to

517
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: see what happens when, and that's really what we're going

518
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: to see today because Matt rules had a week to

519
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 4: get ready now for what we have on film, Will

520
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 4: that change the way Nebraska approaches this game plan?

521
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. I talked to Matt yesterday and Matt's

522
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: a close friend, and you know, he's he feels like

523
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: like almost a passenger on this on this whole story,

524
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: which is I think knowing him is exactly where he

525
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: wants to be, because like he's cool going in there

526
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: and you know, being the underdog and no one expecting

527
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: anything from him because he does have He's got good

528
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: line play, So while he's a little green on offense,

529
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: he knows how to coach defense. And they got some

530
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 2: players on defense. So I think it could be like

531
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: a really truly epic football game.

532
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're you're totally right. One thing Nebraska

533
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 4: did well offensively Week one. I mean that was such

534
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: a weird game, right, Like that Nebraska in Minnesota game

535
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 4: was just it felt the whole thing felt weird.

536
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: But Nebraska ran the ball.

537
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: Well you look at this, that's one thing they're gonna

538
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 4: have to do here because if they're capable of just

539
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 4: running the ball, and again you look at yards per

540
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 4: play that Colorado gave up. If you're Nebraska, you're saying, hey,

541
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: let's just get that and slow this game down. The

542
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 4: more the more Nebraska can just slow that game down,

543
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: I think the better benefit to them through this process.

544
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 4: And that's you know they can do that, especially you

545
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: know the quarterback can get loosen and get a little

546
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: bit of the artists there too. So I think Nebraska

547
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 4: has some interesting weapons. But Nebraska's offense sure's heck, didn't

548
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 4: look like they were ready for a shootout. Week one.

549
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 4: They ain't gonna be ready for a shootout in this game.

550
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 4: This is really just two styles. They're going to be

551
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 4: butting heads.

552
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah no, and that's not who That's not who Matt

553
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: is as a coach, and I think who we want

554
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: to reflect. And again he's got a young quarterback, so

555
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: I don't expect that we saw the mistake, you know,

556
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: it to shape because the Nebraska goes into Minnesota and

557
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: that game was the I mean, he he has that

558
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: game won and you know, a bad read, right, just

559
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: a mistake, and next thing you know, the game turns.

560
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: Then there's a fumball. You know, as Nebraska goes back

561
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 2: down that looks like they're gonna kick the game winning

562
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: field goal, there's a fumball, and you know, all of

563
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 2: a sudden, you lose. And it's a shape because they

564
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: played Minnesota in that game.

565
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know that speaks to why this is

566
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 4: going to be such a weird college football season. I

567
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 4: genuinely believe that, Like there are so many teams in

568
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: the middle that are closely they're closely knit, right, they're

569
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 4: all packed in together, and the teams at the top

570
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 4: I think are really packed in together this year so

571
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: one or two plays is.

572
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Gonna make such a difference.

573
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,239
Speaker 4: I mean, that was an agonizing ending, not just for

574
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: the kids on the but for everybody that had action

575
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 4: one way or the other on it. You know that

576
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: you're just watching that thing saying, how of all the

577
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 4: ways to lose? And now, if you're Matt Ruhle, you've

578
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 4: really got to find a way to just you know,

579
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: crumple it up, throw it away. Not for him, but

580
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 4: for the kids on that that you know, on that team,

581
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: they've got to find a way to sort of put

582
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: that one behind him quickly and move.

583
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: Forward like that's going to be a key for them.

584
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 4: It's it was a shell shocking loss though, to watch

585
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 4: that happen in that fashion for.

586
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: Sure, you know, dude, I mean not for often, right,

587
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: it's crazy. Did you see this that Nebraska Colorado? At

588
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: one point yesterday? And I don't know if it's still

589
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: the cakes, but at one point yesterday there was more

590
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: action you use the word action. There was more actional

591
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: on Nebraska Colorado then all of the NFL games combined.

592
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: Oh that's because we're paying like, at some point, we're

593
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 4: paying attention to it, right, you know, as you and

594
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 4: I were talking about when we first started the other

595
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: the other work that I do is with Yahoo doing

596
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: all this digital stuff, and we saw right away, like.

597
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: I've always been transparent about this stuff.

598
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: It changed my whole workflow for today because we want

599
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 4: to put videos out quickly that people care about in

600
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 4: college football. After we saw the numbers that we got

601
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: just on people watching content on Colorado, we immediately looked

602
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 4: at it and said, well, we know we're going to

603
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 4: have to do a reaction video to Colorado and Nebraska.

604
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: Would we have said that a year ago? Would we

605
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: have said that two years right?

606
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 4: But now Colorado Nebraska is an immediate where we got

607
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 4: to get something up right away, right.

608
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Because people care, and when people care.

609
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: Especially about coach Prime, everybody's got an opinion, that means

610
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 4: everybody wants to put a little.

611
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: Cash on it.

612
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 4: Like we're infatuated with this offensive explosion.

613
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: We're like, yep, let's put a little money on that one. Fake.

614
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,239
Speaker 2: What do you think about it? What do you think

615
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 2: about it? This figures a great college football man, as

616
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 2: you know, you know, this story is just incredible. Man.

617
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm fascinated by like you guys have been discussing

618
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 5: for Colorado, and none of us expecting Colorado will have

619
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 5: that sort of effort coming out of last weekend. Nobody,

620
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 5: you know, we talked about this weekend. If they were

621
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 5: to be competitive, that would have been a victory, let

622
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 5: alone them actually going on the road and getting a

623
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 5: victory at TCU. The way that they performed defensively, I

624
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 5: think there's still going to be some issues, but I mean,

625
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 5: who cares? They're going to be that exciting Shdeer Sanders

626
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: already on certain people's radars as far as NFL draft boards.

627
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 5: He was a four star recruit coming out, so it

628
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 5: doesn't surprise a whole lot of people that he was

629
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 5: able to perform. But to consider that he was transferring in,

630
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 5: you turn over the entire roster of seventy some odd

631
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 5: new players, a brand new offensive coordinator from a different school,

632
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 5: with a bunch of receivers who you never played with.

633
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: It looked like they've been together for four years already.

634
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 5: It was absolutely spectacular. And how the line here is

635
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 5: only three Vegas knows more than I do, but based

636
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 5: on what I saw from Nebraska last weekend, in Colorado

637
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 5: last weekend, I'm surprised that the Buffs are not favored by.

638
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: More than three points. I know I thought the same thing.

639
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: I'll be honest that I sold that line. And by

640
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: the way, this will test the theory. So the theory

641
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: of the line that speaks to you and Jake stick

642
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: about it, right, Like all of a sudden, there's all

643
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: the public money is coming in on Colorado, yet the

644
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: line keeps going down because you've got a couple of

645
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: you know, huge wells, right, some huge sharps that's coming

646
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: in on Nebraska. And that kind of always is a

647
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: tell The one thing when you read these things is

648
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: that when you have all the money on one side,

649
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: yet the line doesn't move, that sometimes tells you what

650
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 2: people with the true power indexes.

651
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 4: And that's why you know, patients is a virtue with

652
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 4: all that stuff, like it is funny because so many people,

653
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 4: especially like if you're just a dabbler, if you're out there,

654
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 4: you know you're just dabbling in it a little bit.

655
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 4: The longer you wait, you can see what the smartest

656
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 4: people are doing because it's helpful. And you're right, I mean,

657
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 4: that's got to speak to something. I do want to

658
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: make sure we give Travis hunder his flowers. And I

659
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: know everybody has.

660
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 2: So why do me a favor. Let's not sure, change

661
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: it because I'm so with you on this. So let's

662
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: get trending. And then when we come back, well, uh

663
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: well we'll give all the flowers. Man, you're spot on

664
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: with that, brother, Fikey, take it away, all right.

665
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 5: We'll start with some Major League baseball from Friday night,

666
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,240

Speaker 1: In the second?

702
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: He is him?

703
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 7: We missed him on two dpauls.

704
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 2: He get those two depos that has been is at

705
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: his crep chin and right now, godlass, thanks coach. Great,

706
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: he's a jays he gets those two deep balls. The

707
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: hives's chill. It's right, He's got it. It is right

708
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: in his fridge. Did you see his odds? They shot up?

709
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: It's amazing, man, people started loading up on him to

710
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: win the Heisman. Would an incredible performance go on? All

711
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: those snaps? Dude? That was amazing, Yeah.

712
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 4: You're talking about it was one hundred and fifty one snaps.

713
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: And then you think about the first week and how

714
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 4: many times did you hear on any broadcast they talk

715
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 4: about well, first week conditioning. There's just no way to

716
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 4: simulate it. Your body just can't be ready for it.

717
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: In that Texas heat where the temperature on the field

718
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: was what one hundred and ten degrees? Played one hundred

719
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 4: and fifty one snaps? And what's crazy about that couple

720
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 4: of things? One, it really hit me that number one,

721
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: Dion's letting him do that right, Like coach Prime comes

722
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 4: in and isn't saying, hey, you got to pick one

723
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 4: or the other. He's like, nope, We'll let you flourish

724
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 4: everywhere and it'll figure itself out. Not a lot of

725
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 4: coaches would do that. And you mentioned his heismands, I'm

726
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 4: actually not stunned by that because what we saw over

727
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: the weekend was, you know, Michael Pennix Junior had big numbers,

728
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 4: and obviously should hear Sanders had big numbers like we

729
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 4: saw quarterback after quarterback.

730
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: Throw video game numbers.

731
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be some mindset where some

732
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 4: of those guys cancel each other out, even in their greatness,

733
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 4: even like holing in normalizing Caleb Williams.

734
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 2: Right.

735
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 4: So then all of a sudden, you look over and

736
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 4: you're like, well, here's a guy that's not a quarterback,

737
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 4: and he's doing all this right. Like if he keeps

738
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 4: just playing on both sides of the ball and playing

739
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 4: in an effective level, I think those odds are going

740
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 4: to keep going up and up.

741
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: So I agree. I think you're you're spot on, dude,

742
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: completely right, because you look at your quarterback play and

743
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 2: you see it all around college football and You're right,

744
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: the numbers are gaudy. So how do you differentiate other

745
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: than while you know your team itself. But something as

746
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: unique as this story about a guy playing on both

747
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: sides of the ball in the in the shadows of it,

748
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: like in the same vein of his coach who did it,

749
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: you know, back in the day. I mean, that's a

750
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: great story. And I think you're right. You know, I

751
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: voted for the Heisman for a long time, and I

752
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: know that that I would that I would do that.

753
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: I mean I would, I would certainly vote for him,

754
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: assuming that I get that level of play weekend week

755
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: out on both sides of the ball.

756
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just humble brag here, But that's that's amazing, dude,

757
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: Like I would love to have a Heisman. Well that

758
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: is that's a level.

759
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 4: Look, I'm a look, I'm just gonna throw this out there.

760
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: I'm a pulletan, a.

761
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: Call for reward voter, which I always thought was.

762
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 4: Funny because my buddy Harry Douglass, who is an NFL

763
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 4: wide receiver, isn't. But I don't know how that happened,

764
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 4: but so I always lorded that over him. But yeah,

765
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 4: I think when you start talking about what these guys

766
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 4: do for Heisman and you start talking about the way

767
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: we'll pay attention to it. Man, it's just it's gonna

768
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 4: keep hitting different and different. But while you're saying that,

769
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 4: I keep thinking about this too, Like, as the NFL

770
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 4: season kicks off tomorrow, think got how many fan bases

771
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 4: are watching college football right now and just salivating because

772
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 4: there is Kayleb Williams and Drake May and Michael Bennix

773
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: junior and shooter centers.

774
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: Like it feels like, all of a sudden, we're one

775
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: week in.

776
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 4: And it feels like teams are going to turn around

777
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 4: and say there are five or six saviors out there

778
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 4: for the first round of next year's draft, Like it's crazy.

779
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 4: What's happening in productivity wise at the quarterback position this

780
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 4: year in college football?

781
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: It is right, I mean, and the level of quarterback

782
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 2: I mean, my god, the level of play is just incredible.

783
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: I mean, like, you know, look there's something that is

784
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: as Sam Hartman with Notre Dame and you're looking at

785
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 2: this at this level of play, and it's truly, man,

786
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 2: this is the golden age of quarterbacks. I was messing around,

787
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: I was doing a thing where I did the ten

788
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: most beautiful arms of all of all time because I

789
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 2: love arm talent. I'm like, I'm fascinated by arm talent.

790
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 2: I have a little I got a little kid, right,

791
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: So I got two boys. They both play football. My biggot,

792
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: my oldest, is Anthony. He's like a behemoth, right, so

793
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: he's he plays right tackle and he plays defensive tackle

794
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 2: on defense. And my little one is ten and he's

795
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: got he's got a great arm. And and I'm like,

796
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: all right, I'm like Marva Mavrinovitch with his arm. Right, dude,

797
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, I give the I give the massage. Right.

798
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 2: Because he pitches. We got a baseball Torbert later today.

799
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 2: He pitches and he plays quarterback. So I'm like nurse

800
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 2: in the arm, I go, we gotta make this arm, dude.

801
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: This is the arm. This is the ticket. This is

802
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: the golden arm. So anyway, I was doing this thing

803
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: today or the other the other day about the most

804
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 2: beautiful arms. And if you look at you know, we

805
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 2: talked about Rogers and I made a list and and Alan,

806
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 2: I mean, like the other if you remember the throw

807
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: that Alan makes up in Foxborough with the winds howling,

808
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: and he cuts it through the wind right like a machete,

809
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: that thing right along the sidelines. I mean, that's amazing.

810
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: And we see that we can week out across college football.

811
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 4: And that's the craziest part about that, because you're so right,

812
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 4: is that the more NFL teams realize that they need

813
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 4: success out of their college quarterbacks.

814
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: Quickly, right.

815
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 4: They need them come in and immediately be able to

816
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 4: be productive. What we're seeing is the change in offense

817
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: to the NFL level that allows that, which means you

818
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 4: got wide receivers that are contributing more like the trickle

819
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: down effect of the quarterback play at the college position

820
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 4: is changing the NFL. And so in a world where

821
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 4: if you're an AFC fan, you're chasing Mahomes and Burrow

822
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 4: and Allen and Lamar and the Herbert the list goes

823
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 4: on and on, at least there's this hope because it

824
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 4: feels like every two three years in college we're getting

825
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 4: another four or five guys that come out. You say,

826
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 4: that's gonna be I mean, Caleb Williams is doing Mahomes

827
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 4: like things every single Saturday.

828
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: Right, that's just crazy to be saying.

829
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you look at the devil you know, Mahomes

830
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: makes a throw the other night. We're gonna get into Lions,

831
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: Chiefs and he makes a throw the other night if

832
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: you remember the side arm piece for the touchdown, which

833
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 2: he's like, you know again, his arm slots, his arm angles,

834
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 2: and he practices all the time. Are just ridiculous. And

835
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: that throw was something that now you know, kids will practice, man,

836
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 2: like you got what you call around watching some of

837
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 2: the elite quarterback players. You bring up Caleb Williams and

838
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: and I watched him and I go, my god, look

839
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: at how beautiful his arm is.

840
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, and you're you're right. He's practicing that stuff.

841
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: That's the biggest difference.

842
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: Man.

843
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 4: They're practicing these Mahomes things at an earlier age. They're

844
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 4: better earlier.

845
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's the truth. All right. What we got

846
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 2: to do is we're to come back. We got to

847
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: talk about Chiefs and Lions and are the Lions for real?

848
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 2: We got to dive into a little uh little pro

00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: So I love. I'm in my room for this first

872
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: show and you know it's whatever.

873
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 4: It's three in the morning in Vegas, and I'm yelling

874
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 4: into a mic at three in the morning. But here's

875
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 4: the great thing. I'm standing here. I'm looking out the

876
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 4: window because you know, I love this view of this strip.

877
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 4: The lights have officially gone off on the strip, so

878
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: like they because it's three in the morning. Like you know,

879
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 4: I've never really looked around, so the strip is dark

880
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 4: everywhere I can see. This is weird, man, Like you know,

881
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 4: all the years of growing up in Vegas and all

882
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: the times that I come back to Vegas, I don't

883
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 4: think I've ever just looked outside to see like the

884
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 4: haunting darkness of the strip. But it's you know, it

885
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 4: feels different without the neon. I'm telling you, I'm in

886
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 4: my fields right now.

887
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: Well it's cool, man, it's a cool scene. I'm a

888
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: big scene guy, right, No, I am. I love this

889
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: because I as a writer, and some I write film

890
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: and television, so so get marky mark my my script

891
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: and I I like. I love that stuff. I love

892
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 2: because it creates a mood. A scene creates the mood,

893
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 2: and I'm feeling your vibe. Man. Look, any fellas get

894
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 2: hangout has to has to happen. Part of the in Vegas.

895
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 4: What I'm also learning is that Vegas at three in

896
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 4: the morning sober is a lot different than I think

897
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 4: Vegas at three in the morning actually is. Again, when

898
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 4: we started the show, I could hear the guy yaking

899
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,479
Speaker 4: in the hall so like people are having a good time,

900
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 4: like you know, he was getting it out of his body.

901
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 4: So maybe it's just maybe I've seen this before. It's

902
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: just hits different when you're actually sober. So you know,

903
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 4: it's just my experience.

904
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I've ever been sober at three

905
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning in Vegas. I wouldn't know.

906
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a lot of people walking around the strip

907
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 4: sober at three in the morning.

908
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: That's probably fair.

909
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: I remember you. It's funny. I was doing something and

910
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: I was doing it. So I was doing a show

911
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: from Summer League a few years back, and I was

912
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: in the morning, and so you know, so I'm on

913
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: the East Coast, so I actually had to get to

914
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 2: this studio and I remember walking through the casino at

915
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 2: two point fifteen looking for coffee, right, and I got

916
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: no shot. Man, I'm like, what is this? You're right,

917
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 2: I'm walking around I'm sober because I'm getting ready to

918
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 2: do my show back in the East, and I'm like,

919
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: I need coffee, man, and there's nowhere and all I

920
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: just see is autohole everywhere.

921
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: That's it.

922
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 2: I give you a gen and Tonic. All right, let

923
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: me the first thing. Oh my god, all right, listen,

924
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: we got the NFL's back. I'm geeked out, dude. I mean,

925
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: this is this is the greatest we got football back.

926
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 2: You wait and wait and wait and wait, and finally

927
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: it's here. So we had Lions and Chiefs the other night,

928
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 2: and I'll ask you to start it off Lions for real.

929
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:51,959
Speaker 1: I think.

930
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 4: So, you know, the hardest part is that we're you know,

931
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 4: and so many Lions fans will say, well, the Lions

932
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 4: are gonna Lions.

933
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: So many of us will say the Lions are gonna lie.

934
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 4: But if you just if you took the brand off

935
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 4: the chest and you just looked at the roster top

936
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 4: to bottom, there are so many other question marks in

937
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 4: their own division. I think the Vikings told us this

938
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 4: year with the way they handled the offseason that they

939
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 4: realized last year better to be lucky than good. They're

940
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 4: not very good, so they realized they're going to take

941
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 4: a step back. They showed us that with their player acquisition,

942
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 4: the Bears spent ninety million bucks, but we don't really

943
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 4: know what that looks like yet, and the Packers are

944
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 4: complete unknown because we have no idea whether Jordan Love

945
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 4: is going to be any good or not.

946
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: So all of that puts this.

947
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 4: Extra pressure over here on the Lions, and for whatever reason,

948
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 4: Dan Campbell just seems to be able to keep that

949
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 4: noise out for the guys. So I thought the fact

950
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 4: that they found a way to win, like good teams

951
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 4: find a way to win, as simple as that is,

952
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: and that's usually what Kansas City does, right Like, so

953
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 4: the fact that the Lions found a way to win

954
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 4: that football game, and their offense still looks like it's

955
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 4: going to be pretty good. Their defense played better than

956
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 4: a lot of people expected. Yeah, I think I think

957
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 4: the Lions showed us all that they deserve to be

958
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 4: considered the favorite in their division.

959
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I again early, and you know it's better

960
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: than ay, you know when you get to early, you

961
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: know early the first few games of September are an

962
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 2: extension to the preseason because guys aren't playing the whole thing.

963
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 2: So you saw mistakes and Kadarius Tony aside you saw,

964
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 2: you know, the lines make some mistakes too. I mean

965
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 2: you saw them, you know, sputter at times. Because they

966
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 2: did move the ball, they had the one fumble deep

967
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 2: in Kansas City territory. They were able to kind of

968
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: go up and down the field. I mean you could

969
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: see the explosiveness of Gibbs. You see Montgomery being the

970
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: sturdy back, so that that looks like a one two

971
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: punch and you got amen ra. I mean, you know,

972
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 2: Laporta could play a tight end. So I do expect

973
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 2: their offense once they get it in gear. I think

974
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: their offense is going to be pretty good.

975
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

976
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 4: I think fantasy football players are probably kind of disappointed

977
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 4: because you make a great point that Gibbs is not

978
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: going to be the workhorse, which I think we should

979
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 4: have known, like Montgomery all along is that guy. But

980
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 4: I think you know, people wanted to come in.

981
00:46:58,920 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 2: They gave him big money.

982
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

983
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, people just wanted to annoint Gibbs because of the

984
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 4: draft pick. But if you're the Lions, you know you're

985
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 4: just gonna be patient in your approach and that's gonna

986
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 4: work for you. And there we talked earlier about the

987
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 4: Lions in college football. I think the offensive line for

988
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 4: the Lions held up obviously. Know, you know, missing Chris

989
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 4: Jones is different for the Chiefs. But you know, I

990
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 4: feel like the Lions did everything they needed to do,

991
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 4: and by the way, they wanted arrowhead like that, if

992
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 4: the Lions go out and get cloppered, we're not forgiving

993
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 4: that right. So if they go out and win, we

994
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 4: got to give them the credit for it.

995
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, without of doubt. Now conversely, Kansas City, I mean, look,

996
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: Darius Tony alone kind of cauts you the game. You

997
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: had the interception return for a touchdown, you had the

998
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: key drop at the end of the at the dur

999
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: that one of that last drive. There were two drops,

1000
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: one or early the first half, one late in the game.

1001
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: And then you got to say, look, you know, if

1002
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 2: you have Kelsey in that game, you expect them to

1003
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: at least have another scoring drive.

1004
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean.

1005
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: The funny thing is, though, I'll be honest, late in

1006
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, I looked at my TV and I said,

1007
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 4: this is why I drink because it really felt like

1008
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 4: the Chiefs were going to get through it no matter what.

1009
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: And you look at it and say, man, if Patrick

1010
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 4: Mahomes and Andy Reid win in this situation where they

1011
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 4: don't have Travis Kelcey not just the tight end, but

1012
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey also their best receiving option also basically their

1013
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 4: wide receiver one Kadarius Tony having a nightmare of a

1014
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 4: football game. They're missing their best player on the defensive

1015
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 4: side of the ball, and they're still in a position

1016
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 4: where it looks like they're going to find a way

1017
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 4: to win that football game. Like I don't know, man,

1018
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 4: there's this moment where you look at it and say,

1019
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 4: Mahomes and Andy Reid together And I don't think we

1020
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 4: give Andy Reid enough credit in this, but Mahomes and

1021
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 4: Andy Reid have become like Macho man in Hulk Hogan

1022
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 4: from the eighties, Like it's an unbeatable tag team. Like

1023
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 4: it just you look at it and say, there's nothing

1024
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 4: like other than bringing a chair out from under the ring.

1025
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 4: There's no way you're taking them down. Like It's just

1026
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 4: it was amazing to see how well they played or

1027
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 4: how competitive I should say they were at the end

1028
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 4: of a game. Really, they could have been blown out

1029
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 4: and we would have forgiven him right. So to me,

1030
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 4: the fact that they were even in that thing with

1031
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 4: Kadarius Tony having the worst pro football focused creative of

1032
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 4: any wide receiver since like twenty eighteen, right Like, it

1033
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 4: was stunning, man, it was stunning.

1034
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 2: I know, and listen, you're gonna give it how bad

1035
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 2: it figgure you're gonna get my boys bags a lot

1036
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: of credit because he called the great game, man, he

1037
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 2: was still able to get enough pressure in it. And

1038
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 2: the only thing I was kind of shocked about is,

1039
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: you know, fourth and twenty I probably right before the

1040
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 2: two minute warning, I probably punt, but okay, you got

1041
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 2: my home. So but when it's fourth and twenty five,

1042
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 2: I think you almost have to punt there probably fourth.

1043
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 5: And twenty three timeouts of the two minute warning. I

1044
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 5: think it's an obvious situation. Upon at that point in time,

1045
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 5: I don't know what Andy Reid was thinking. Like we've

1046
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 5: read Brandon Staley in the past for making questionable decisions

1047
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 5: and going forward on fourth down, I don't understand in

1048
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 5: any way, shape or form. Side the Lion's defense was

1049
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 5: getting gashed all night long. We mentioned that Tony drops,

1050
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 5: but I mean for the most part they played pretty

1051
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 5: well too, So at that point in time, I think

1052
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 5: the easy decision would have been to punt the ball

1053
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 5: away and try to get yourself a defensive stop fourth

1054
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 5: and twenty is almost impossible to do, even with someone

1055
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,479
Speaker 5: as good as Patrick Mahomes. I don't understand what Andy

1056
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 5: Reid's the thought process was there.

1057
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 4: But the only thing I'd say, though, guys, is that

1058
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 4: if you look at it at some point.

1059
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: Because you're right about all of that, but there.

1060
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 4: Is this moment of that pass was almost complete on

1061
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 4: fourth and twenty five, as absurd as that sounds, and

1062
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 4: then the other side of it is I think Andy

1063
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 4: Reid knew that they had nothing left in the tank.

1064
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, when's the last time.

1065
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 4: We saw somebody get the ball on the Chiefs and

1066
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 4: just cram the ball down their throats over and over

1067
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 4: and over again to run out the park. I think

1068
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 4: Andy Reid knew as guys were gassed, and it was like,

1069
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 4: we need a miracle either way. I saw somebody on

1070
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 4: Twitter or ACT or whatever the heck we're supposed to

1071
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 4: call it now talking about you know, the strategy should

1072
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 4: have been Mahomes run backwards and then you know, basically

1073
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 4: turn the ball over in scoring range, let the the

1074
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 4: Lions turn around the score and try and tie it

1075
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 4: that way, like it's we're getting into weird analytics with

1076
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 4: all Yeah. Yeah, I feel like Andy Reid just knew

1077
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 4: his guys were done.

1078
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah listen, And I think there's a part of him

1079
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 2: that goes, all right, well, you know, if I hold

1080
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 2: them to a field goal, it's still the same thing,

1081
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 2: so you know. But my only point was, if you

1082
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 2: it when it's fourth and twenty and you have three

1083
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 2: timeouts and the two minute warning, you kind of have

1084
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 2: a shot there if you punt it away. And I

1085
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 2: love Andy so and he's a dear friend. So I

1086
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 2: look at it and I go, I get it. I

1087
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 2: think you're partly right. I do. I think you're right.

1088
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 2: I think that's part of the equation. I should say

1089
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 2: that he's looking at it and going, it's a hot night.

1090
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 2: It was, you know, guys are cramping up. Yeah, if

1091
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: I got my homes, I'd rather take my chances with

1092
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 2: my quarterback than convert the damn thing. Because they did.

1093
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: And and to your point, they did have plays down

1094
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 2: the field that they should have been converted really all

1095
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:58,959
Speaker 2: night long.

1096
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 5: And with that, by the way, I think that's the

1097
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 5: part of the reason why Dan Campbell decided to go

1098
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 5: forward on that fourth and two because he said, you

1099
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 5: know what, I'd rather keep my offense on the field.

1100
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 5: I trust us to get two yards more than I

1101
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 5: trust us to stop Patrick Mahomes from getting forty or

1102
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 5: whatever he needed to get them in field goal arrange

1103
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 5: to get the victory. That I completely understood and didn't

1104
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 5: question for one second. I'd rather keep my offense on

1105
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 5: the field than try to ice his game then give

1106
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 5: the ball back to Patrick Mahomes with well timeouts in

1107
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 5: his pocket.

1108
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 4: And to your point, you know, I mean, also there's

1109
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 4: consistency and play calling, because we saw the Chiefs go

1110
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 4: down the field a couple of times, have fourth and

1111
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 4: short in the red zone and in red zone area

1112
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 4: and then turn around and settle for field goals. They

1113
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 4: weren't being aggressive, they were just taking points.

1114
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: Right.

1115
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 4: Conversely, Dan Campbell, like, I mean we nickname him Grapefruits

1116
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 4: at this point because like he was coming out right,

1117
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 4: like he was not afraid of anything. The fake punt

1118
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 4: and it deep in his own territory. The all yeah,

1119
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 4: I mean, Campbell was saying from the outset, like hey,

1120
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 4: we're just gonna put it out there and we're gonna

1121
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 4: do everything we have to do because, like I mean,

1122
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 4: that was consistent. I think that's one of the questions

1123
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 4: that's fair to ask on Andy Reid a while. Again,

1124
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to go like he's obviously one of

1125
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 4: the best coaches in the league, right, I think it's

1126
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 4: fair to say, look, how do you how do you

1127
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 4: settle on fourth and short and then go on fourth

1128
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 4: and twenty five? Like that feels like Madden.

1129
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: No, that's true, listen, I think, and he still has that.

1130
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 2: You know, I know Andy really well from his days

1131
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: in Philly, and you know the game where the game

1132
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 2: has changed, and he's been he's been a pioneer in

1133
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 2: this thing. I remember him talking about shell philosophies and

1134
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: you know, up tempo offenses and the whole thing in

1135
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 2: the early two thousands. Like I remember sitting in his

1136
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 2: office and he's like, this is the game's going to be.

1137
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: So he's been always ahead of the curve. The only

1138
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 2: thing that's interesting where he's lagged a little bit is

1139
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: that he'll go to his kicker probably more than other

1140
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 2: guys will today. So he'll take the three more than

1141
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 2: other guys. All go for it and try to get

1142
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 2: and try to push you in the sevens more. Yeah.

1143
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 4: Well, and what's interesting is that the battle between analytics

1144
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 4: at some point, I do see the just the value

1145
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 4: in points, right, especially when you're talking about a game

1146
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 4: that they lost by one point. In fairness, you know,

1147
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 4: every single point we know can matter in these things.

1148
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 4: And it's interesting how we fault and not you and I,

1149
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 4: but we as a general football culture will fault any

1150
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,479
Speaker 4: coach it feels like, for not going forward on fourth

1151
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 4: and short somewhere. But then at the same time, we'll

1152
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 4: listen to a broadcast where at halftime they'll say, well,

1153
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 4: they came away with no points twice. Yeah, I mean

1154
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 4: like your damn if you do, and damned if you

1155
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 4: don't like either.

1156
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 2: Way, that's the truth. All right, Well, let's take a

1157
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 2: quick too. We'll come right back. And there's another college

1158
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: football game that ad actually a monster and it was

1159
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 2: almost an upset last year? Will it be this year?

1160
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that game. We'll get back to the NFL.

Speaker 2: of just way he observes Jase, he observes.

1201
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 4: I feel like, if there's anything I've learned, this is

1202
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 4: the show that I would feel comfortable getting into a

1219
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh that is this is brilliant and out.

1220
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 2: I'll give me a guy gave a great story. Like

1221
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 2: in Chicago. So years ago, like one of my first

1222
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 2: jobs was in Chicago. I was I was working for

1223
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 2: the Associated Press doing sports and you know, doing some

1224
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 2: newspaper work. And uh so I started seeing a girl

1225
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 2: and her father had a parking lot the Bridgeport you

1226
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 2: know Mark Bridgeport. It's on the south side of Chicago.

1227
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm aware of it. Yeah, yeah, all right.

1228
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 2: So it was one of these you know, you know,

1229
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,720

Speaker 4: can't even imagine when you're actually related at that point,

1268
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 4: you know, no, you that's when you just you plan

1269
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 4: an exit strategy. But also you know, you plan an

1270
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 4: exit strategy that he can't be around too, because he

1271
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 4: might he might get into that thing too, So you

1272
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 4: gotta be careful with that one.

1273
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,919
Speaker 2: Bruce Canatello was his name.

1274
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 6: No way, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, because we

1275
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 6: can't go over the fact that Couz just said he

1276
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 6: was in a bar fight and then just didn't go

1277
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 6: over the fact that how the bar fight went. And

1278
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 6: also were you like in prime fighting like age, Like

1279
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 6: how old were you at this time?

1280
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I was in my early twenties.

1281
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 3: I was.

1282
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, straight out of football.

1283
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 6: I was like, Tyson, okay, so you lost, you lost,

1284
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 6: is what you were saying.

1285
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 2: I got no kidding me. There was like six dudes

1286
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 2: and we're getting killed. Good god, we're getting pummeled from

1287
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 2: you know, you're just swinging now. Back in the day,

1288
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 2: that's how it was. Like it felt like Mark, you

1289
01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 2: know this right back in the day. For some it

1290
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 2: was savages. It was savagery.

1291
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 7: Just start swinging right, like.

1292
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 2: You know, that's who you were taught like growing up.

1293
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 2: You just gotta hold you just gotta go, Like if

1294
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 2: you think it's gonna happen, then you got to swing first.

1295
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 7: Do you give as well as you get? Just take

1296
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:16,959
Speaker 7: them out.

1297
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 4: The least surprising thing ever here, gentlemen. But I should

1298
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 4: remind you that I grew up a fat kid that

1299
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 4: played the violin, so I wasn't doing a lot of

1300
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 4: the swinging and these things like that's why I run

1301
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 4: my mouth right like a fat kid that plays the

1302
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 4: violin runs his mouth.

1303
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: Let somebody else do the swinging for him. That's right

1304
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: on brand for me.

1305
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 4: You know, I've gotten myself into some situations, but thankfully

1306
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 4: I've always had some bigger people to help me get

1307
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 4: out of them because it doesn't work well.

1308
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: Well for the fat kid that plays the violin.

1309
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,320

01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 2: We talked about Colorado and the brask and I want

1342
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 2: to get back to it from the coach Prime standpoint

1343
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 2: and that angle. But there's another game, Jase. We got

1344
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 2: another game, and it's a big game tonight. It's Texas

1345
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 2: and Alabama, and quite frankly, I mean you remember last

1346
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: year Texas should have won that game.

1347
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's got to be sitting in Texas's crawl

1348
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 4: all year on. That's my southernism of the day, sitting

1349
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 4: in there crawl all year long. They've been thinking about this,

1350
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 4: but this is a huge game also for Quinnewers, right,

1351
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 4: Like Quinn Ewers, the quarterback for Texas.

1352
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: He had some games last year, big games he was great.

1353
01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Little games he wasn't.

1354
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 4: And now I just keep thinking about what it's like

1355
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 4: when the most anticipated quarterback recruit in years and you know,

1356
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 4: Arch Manning is sitting behind you. And some of the

1357
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 4: people I talked to around college football, the numbers I

1358
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 4: heard that he was getting for name, image, likeness to

1359
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 4: just come in the door were astounding. So I think

1360
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 4: there's this like quiet pressure on Quinn yours to be

1361
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 4: able to deliver in these sorts of games. Plus we

1362
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 4: all know Texas is headed to the SEC right, so

1363
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 4: if you you've got to be able to win in Tuscaloosa,

1364
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 4: consistently if you ever want to consistently be a good

1365
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 4: SEC team. So I actually think this is kind of

1366
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 4: interesting because Texas has all the pressure on them to

1367
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 4: prove that they can do this, and we don't know

1368
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 4: anything about Alabama still, like they MTSU Middle Tennessee come

1369
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 4: on right, like they ate a cupcake.

1370
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 2: Week one ros A Nights game and whatever, and that

1371
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 2: is what it is, like you don't need to do it,

1372
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 2: And I'm with you, like you don't really know much

1373
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 2: about Batman, which is I kind of like Texas again.

1374
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 2: Now Texas is seven point line. By the way, I

1375
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 2: like Texas thing to keep this game close. I I

1376
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 2: think they could have every big a chance to win

1377
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 2: this game.

1378
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, seven felt big to me, Like I think this

1379
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 4: is down to the wire game. So seven felt really

1380
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 4: big and also interesting because I honestly think for both

1381
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 4: of these teams, the offenses can struggle against the defenses

1382
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 4: they'll be facing. Like Texas has a really good defensive line,

1383
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 4: They're gonna be able to do some work there. Texas

1384
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 4: has good corners, They're gonna be able to do some

1385
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 4: work there. Conversely, I'd say the same thing about Alabama defensively,

1386
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 4: So I don't know that points are gonna come a

1387
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 4: seven points in a college football game that I don't

1388
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 4: think is going to turn around and be like what

1389
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 4: we saw last week from Colorado or like this doesn't

1390
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 4: feel like one of those you know, forty five to

1391
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 4: forty two type games. This feels like one of those games.

1392
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 4: It's going to be in the mid twenties. So seven

1393
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 4: points feels like a lot to me. So I'm kind

1394
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 4: of stunned by that number.

1395
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am two fig which side you got.

1396
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got to sign with Obama on this one,

1397
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 5: you know, to be honest, going down into TUSCGTE. So yeah,

1398
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 5: you know the thing last last year we talked about

1399
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 5: the fact that it came down to the wire for

1400
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 5: you know, for the long Horns, and they had a

1401
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 5: chance to win it before Bryce Young pulled out his magic.

1402
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 5: I know, Jalen Millroe lit up middletonn to see as

1403
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 5: you guys mentioned a second ago. But I see more

1404
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 5: of an element of Alabama reincorporating the physical the run game,

1405
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 5: kind of like the Jalen Hurts style of offense. And

1406
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 5: I think they're more physical upfront than Texas is. It

1407
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 5: doesn't mean Texas is not good on the offensive and

1408
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 5: defensive lines. But I do think this is gonna be,

1409
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 5: you know, an offensive display where Alabama kind of grounds

1410
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 5: and pounds him a little bit. And will quinn Ewers

1411
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 5: be up to the task to go down into a

1412
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 5: tough environment and be able to play well against you know,

1413
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 5: against Alabama, that Alabama defense. I don't know if you will. Look,

1414
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 5: he played well last year at home with all the

1415
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 5: momentium and the home ground behind him. I think it'll

1416
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 5: be a little bit of a different story. So look,

1417
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 5: the seven point spread seems about right to me. If

1418
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 5: were me, I wouldn't touch this game with a ten

1419
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 5: foot pall to be honest with you from a gambling standpoint.

1420
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 5: But yeah, I can definitely see this as to you

1421
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 5: guys's point being played in the twenties. But ultimately I

1422
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 5: think Alabama, Alabama ends up winning it.

1423
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to put a little skit, coward,

1424
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 4: You have to put a little skin into something that's

1425
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 4: like they can't all be easy, come on now, Like no,

1426
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,439
Speaker 4: but I'm with you. This is is like as as

1427
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 4: the resident to you know, cheap guy. I look at

1428
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 4: these things, I'm like, God, I don't know, man, this one.

1429
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 4: This one is tough to justify opening the wallet four

1430
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 4: for me because yeah.

1431
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 5: If I if I had to, Jason, if you were

1432
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 5: if if I had to put money down, I will

1433
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 5: take Alabama to cover the seven.

1434
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Who Yeah, I don't know.

1435
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 4: I don't know about like I think if I had to,

1436
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 4: I would actually go the opposite way, just because I

1437
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be close. I think I think Alabama

1438
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 4: wins this football game. But it's just man, this feels

1439
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 4: like one of those late field goal crowd goes nuts

1440
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 4: great moment for college football games to me, because.

1441
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it dolls. I feel the same way. And again,

1442
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 2: I maybe I like Hueers man I do, and I

1443
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 2: like Tech. Know I gotta weak this because we talk

1444
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 2: about this a lot. I just think I think that

1445
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 2: Texas team is about to to really start the flex.

1446
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 2: So you know, again, this is all about tonight, so

1447
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see how we play. And I mean

1448
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 2: he looked okay, I mean again, he played They played Rice,

1449
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 2: so who cares, right, Like, just like, who.

1450
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 5: Knows if they showed anything against Rice? Because I know

1451
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 5: he was especially his d balls weren't the greatest, but

1452
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 5: who knows what they opened up?

1453
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 2: Or now.

1454
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 5: So I don't know how much you can take out

1455
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 5: of it and apply it to this matchup.

1456
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Hey, one other thing before we get back to coach prime.

1457
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 2: So Jason Figui is mister Pac twelve and I got

1458
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 2: to give him his tour about Flowers. Dude, it's the

1459
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 2: com It's amazing. State looked ridiculous too before.

1460
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 5: They end up dying. Yeah, it's of course, of all

1461
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 5: years for the Pac twelve to get out to a

1462
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 5: phenomenal start. This is pretty much the swan song for them.

1463
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 5: So yes, they look great. Oregon State looked amazing, which

1464
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 5: we've talked about the last couple of weeks. Oregon State

1465
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 5: we expect to have a really good year, the year

1466
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 5: of the quarterback in the Pac twelve, you know, probably

1467
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 5: the best conference top to bottom if you're talking about

1468
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 5: quarterback talent, and we don't really we weren't even talking

1469
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 5: about Shora Sanders in that mix the last couple of

1470
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 5: weeks when talking about it. So impressive showing for them

1471
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 5: to go undefeated last week, that obviously is gonna have

1472
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 5: a going to take a hit this week at Stanford

1473
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 5: plays USC. I think we all know how that situation

1474
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 5: is gonna go but certainly a good sign for the

1475
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 5: Pac twelve to get off to a good start, and

1476
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 5: maybe they'll get off to it, they'll have a great

1477
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 5: finish to the season this year, and hopefully you have

1478
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 5: a team in the playoff USC We'll see.

1479
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's this conference is nasty. It's really good.

1480
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 2: Now it's gona be interesting to see, uh, Washington State Wisconsin,

1481
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 2: so you have you got the conference on the line there.

1482
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 5: Now, that was a low scoring game last year in Madison,

1483
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 5: So we'll see how this weekend goes.

1484
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't Wisconsin too, is going to be tough

1485
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 4: to figure Like Luke fikel over there, It's going to

1486
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 4: take a minute for him to figure out what that

1487
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 4: offense looks like right right now, I think Wisconsin's in

1488
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a transition period than anybody

1489
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 4: wants to admit right now. So that's a big it's

1490
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 4: a sneaky big game for Wisconsin too, because like in

1491
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 4: the world of expansion, Wisconsin can find themselves being a

1492
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 4: mediocre team for a very long time if they don't

1493
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 4: get things rest. So you know, that's it's it's sort

1494
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 4: of it's curious how this expansion is going to create

1495
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 4: pressure on certain teams that are just sitting in the

1496
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 4: middle of their conferences.

1497
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 2: All right, So I got to ask you, is you

1498
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: bring up Fickle going there and changing the whole vibe

1499
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: of Wisconsin going more spread, more attack. So the way

1500
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 2: coach Prime does and the way he goes to Colorado,

1501
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 2: the way he manipulates the portal, the way he uses

1502
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 2: you know, social media, the way he's got his Amazon

1503
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 2: Prime show. He's got a whole bigness, huge nil money, right,

1504
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,480
Speaker 2: and he comes in with this big personality, so charismatic,

1505
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,440
Speaker 2: very very player and using a lot of player empowerment.

1506
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 2: Is that the new formula for college football? And you

1507
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 2: had brought this up early, and I want to explore

1508
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,919
Speaker 2: it because I think it's fascinating. You brought up Satan

1509
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 2: and you brought up the old Stayed ball code. Right,

1510
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 2: It's suddenly it does feel all did Stayed now again.

1511
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 2: There's a place for it, and he's an incredible coach

1512
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame everything else, But it is

1513
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 2: the way Prime is going about it. Is that the

1514
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 2: new way that takes over?

1515
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I think so.

1516
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,640
Speaker 4: But I also think to your point, you know, what

1517
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,560
Speaker 4: kind of coaching does a kid want. And you know,

1518
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 4: I'll go back to my music experience and if anyone

1519
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 4: that ever saw the movie Whiplash, where you know you've

1520
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 4: got teachers that are yelling at kids like that was

1521
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,759
Speaker 4: sort of my my Juilliard experience. I had one teacher

1522
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 4: that he would yell in Russian and he would just

1523
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 4: pick up whatever was on his desk and he would

1524
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 4: throw it at me, right. And I had one teacher

1525
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 4: that had a prosthetic leg and he actually, you know,

1526
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 4: took that leg off and threatened to hit me with

1527
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 4: it when I was a kid, which is funny now,

1528
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 4: but like as a kid, I need my lessons like

1529
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 4: crying after you know it's car. But you know, the

1530
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 4: portion of that for me is it made me a

1531
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 4: great musician. It taught me for decision and discipline and

1532
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 4: all of these things that matter to this day. You know,

1533
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 4: for anyone that doesn't know, we get coaching at what

1534
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 4: we do right, like people come in and help us

1535
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 4: get better. I'm one of those people that I don't

1536
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 4: really need you to come in and slap me on

1537
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,560
Speaker 4: the button, tell me a great game. I need you

1538
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 4: to come in and say do this better, do this better.

1539
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 4: That's what I respond to. So for me, I would

1540
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 4: want to be coached by somebody like Nick Sabant, But

1541
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 4: there are a lot of people that are the exact opposite.

1542
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 4: And what we see now I think, particularly when you

1543
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 4: talk about kids, is they understand their brands, they understand

1544
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 4: their empowerment, they understand social media, they understand how to

1545
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 4: market themselves. It is interesting to see a coach that

1546
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 4: comes in that is not just saying, hey, can we

1547
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 4: can sort of make a name image like this system.

1548
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 4: It's a coach coming in and saying, I want you

1549
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 4: to be you in every possible way the way kids

1550
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 4: are right now. I think that's going to resonate. And yeah,

1551
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 4: I think you're going to see younger coaches. You're going

1552
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 4: to see more former players stepping onto college football sidelines.

1553
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 4: Build a great staff that can handle x's and o's,

1554
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 4: and let that coach come in and really help the

1555
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 4: players be the best version of themselves.

1556
01:12:58,680 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: They can be.

1557
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think this is a transformative moment

1558
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 4: for college football.

1559
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 2: And by the way, let's all get paid, right, Like

1560
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 2: that's the part of the messaging is that you know, well,

1561
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 2: all the NIL deals and and they're huge, and look,

1562
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 2: you make no bones about it. You go, hey, let's go,

1563
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 2: we're all part of this thing, and we're going to build,

1564
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 2: you know, something that is big and loud and makes

1565
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, and will make an impression

1566
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 2: on you want to wear or the other.

1567
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 4: The only question is at what point will results be

1568
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 4: expected at a higher level, because right now, like you

1569
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 4: win seven games of Colorado.

1570
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw a parade for you, right yeah.

1571
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 4: But you do that for a few years in a row,

1572
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 4: you keep rebuilding this Like let's remember mel Tucker went

1573
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 4: out used their transfer portal, got himself Kenneth Walker the

1574
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,799
Speaker 4: third and got himself ten million bucks a year. Michigan

1575
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 4: State fans now are sitting around saying, yeah, but where

1576
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,879
Speaker 4: are the wins? So I do think it'll be interesting

1577
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 4: to see at the end of the day, Dion's is

1578
01:13:58,360 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 4: still coach. Prime is going to have to come in

1579
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 4: and put a top level product together every single year.

1580
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: We all know this in the NFL.

1581
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 4: If you're constantly going to the free agency to build

1582
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 4: your team, man, your every year's.

1583
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: A roll of the dice. The draft is the way

1584
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: to do it, right.

1585
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 4: So I think it'll be interesting to see if the

1586
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 4: expectations continue to just be like, oh no, it's cool,

1587
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 4: have great kids, or if the expectations become win a

1588
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 4: national championship, because that's a much different combo.

1589
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And that's where you get back to Hey,

1590
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 2: you know, Nick Saban has a lot of experience a

1591
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 2: winning national championships and playing in playoff games. So that's

1592
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 2: where can you reach that certain threshold. I think you're

1593
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 2: spot on. All right, we'll come right back and don't forget.

1594
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 2: Coming up next hour, we're going to do every NFL

1595
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 2: game on the card. We we'll go through all the

1596
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 2: plot lines, the storylines. The NFL is back. Oh my,

1597
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 2: how do we enjoy it? And I want to ask

1598

1610
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 2: me your typical NFL Sunday. Like, I'm a complete loser, brother, right, Like,

1611
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 2: all I want to do is sit there, right, like

1612
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 2: with a I have a note book, and I just

1613
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 2: have screens everywhere, and it looks like a beautiful mind. Right,

1614
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 2: I'm completely a loser, man.

1615
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: How many TVs are we talking? Because how many teams?

1616
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 2: Well, I got I got at least three, but I

1617
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 2: got you know, devices everywhere. I got the iPad. I

1618
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 2: got a couple of iPads, and I got a couple

1619
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 2: of skirt TVs. And I'm just kind of sitting there

1620
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 2: and then I'll yell at my kids to come to

1621
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 2: watch with me, and invariably, look they get bored and leave. Right,

1622
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 2: And even Eagles, like Eagles is religion, like and see

1623
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,600
Speaker 2: how you with the Raiders? Right with the Eagles, I

1624
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 2: can't have like I don't want, you know, over abundance

1625
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 2: of food. I don't listen. I'm a I love having

1626
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 2: a good time, right, But like, I'm not one of

1627
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 2: these people that gets whacked while I'm watching football, Like

1628
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't need that. I want to concentrate

1629
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 2: on the game. I want to be lucid because I

1630
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 2: extract great joy from the game.

1631
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1632
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,719
Speaker 4: Well, and you know there is part of this element

1633
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 4: of two. We talk about the games for a living too,

1634
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 4: so I think that has to curb some of it

1635
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 4: because we're one of this song.

1636
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 2: I was like that before. Oh really Yeah, Like when

1637
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 2: I was in I'd go around as a national writer.

1638
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 2: I'd write these long, five thousand word pieces. And when

1639
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 2: I watch Eagle games, like I have a cousin Joey,

1640
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 2: who's like my brother. So cousin Joey and I would

1641
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 2: always watch our games, get my father, like we would

1642
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,799
Speaker 2: all have I'm text and call and watch games together

1643
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 2: and whole thing, and I would not. I don't. I'm

1644
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 2: the same way. I can't. I can't like I don't

1645
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 2: want to get I want to be looseh it.

1646
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 4: So for me, it's always been about food, Like I

1647
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 4: eat like you know, a crazy. I take good care

1648
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 4: of myself now, you know, I like to think of

1649
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 4: myself as being in pretty good shape.

1650
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: I work out a lot of time.

1651
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 4: I try and take you know, I'm scrawny guy, try

1652
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 4: and take care of myself. But the interfact hit still

1653
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 4: comes out on Sundays because like when I was when

1654
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 4: I was little, my dad would go to Dunkin Donuts

1655
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 4: and he would get a dozen double chocolate donuts, just

1656
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 4: the chocolate cake donuts that are chocolate frosted, you know,

1657
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 4: a dozen of the exact same donuts because that was

1658
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 4: my favorite, and we would split that dozen donuts while

1659
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 4: we watched the Raiders game. So that was always sort

1660
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 4: of in great like snat I stress he when I

1661
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 4: watched the game. So the funny thing is, even when

1662
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 4: I was out on the road, like with the vam

1663
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 4: Parry when we would have we were always gone on weekends,

1664
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 4: but on Sundays, I would always find someplace where I

1665
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 4: could get a dozen donuts and I would sit there

1666
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 4: by myself and eat a dozen donuts, and then I

1667
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 4: drink a ton of diet soda in general, like a

1668
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 4: it's a bad habit for me. So like on the road,

1669
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 4: I would go through a dozen donuts and probably four

1670
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 4: or five two liter bottles of diet Routier on the

1671
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,600
Speaker 4: tour bus and that is still sort of so for me,

1672
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 4: I have to watch. I've got all the screens and

1673
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 4: I'm watching all the games. I'm anti red zone because

1674
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 4: the red zone gets ahead of everything and so I

1675
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 4: just want to see it as we go.

1676
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 2: Waity second time time, time, time time. You don't like

1677
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 2: the red zone.

1678
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: I don't like the red zone. I don't like red

1679
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: zone elation.

1680
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 2: Can I tell you I love you because I'm crazy.

1681
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 2: I hate the red zone because it's Shay right, Why

1682
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 2: dudes like Shay who don't appreciate the game itself and

1683
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 2: how the game evolved?

1684
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 7: Okay, no, no, no.

1685
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 2: And it's all about the cliff notes of football. Oh

1686
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:26,600
Speaker 2: you're looking is just your crane, your next like a

1687
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 2: crane going from one to the other to the other,

1688
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 2: and you're not even not even watching. You appreciate the sport.

1689
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 6: But think about this. You said yourself, you got more

1690
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 6: than one TV. Okay, you got Okay, this is me.

1691
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 6: I got one TV designated for the Browns, I got

1692
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 6: another TV designated for the primetime game, and then I

1693
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 6: have a TV designated to red zone. So let's say,

1694
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 6: let's say I'm watching Fantasy, which is what everyone's doing

1695
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 6: basically on a Sunday, I'm looking at my fantasy team.

1696
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 6: I'm trying to make sure everything's good. But I can't

1697
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 6: really watch every game that's red zone. The primetime game

1698
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,600
Speaker 6: is for what I want, and then the Browns is

1699
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 6: just I like watching the Browns. So obviously I'm getting

1700
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 6: at all. But red zone is a necessity, Like if

1701
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 6: you don't, I know, everybody loves the red zone.

1702
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 2: Everybody loves it. I listen, I hear you, and then

1703
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 2: people talk about all the time. Jason and I are

1704
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 2: in the minority. I've talked, I've reailed against it forever.

1705
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 2: It's the cliff notes to a novel. I can't agree

1706
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,719
Speaker 2: with you with that. I know we'll get into it,

1726
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 2: when you think about like a raidar game, how like

1727
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 2: you know? Or the ig R seat can you wait

1728
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 2: for tomorrow at the Raiders?

1729
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 4: And I mean, look, this is I'm a little stun there.

1730
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:53,920
Speaker 4: Let me be in public. I'm the first to admit

1731
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 4: because you were talking earlier how you watch and for me,

1732
01:21:57,800 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 4: it's it's divided, right because I got to watch all

1733
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 4: the game. That's part of my job and I take

1734
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 4: that part very seriously. So I do watch everything. And

1735
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 4: you can get the condensed games out on you know,

1736
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 4: the NFL plus thing, So I go back and rewatch everything.

1737
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 4: That's just part of what I think is important to do.

1738
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 4: But when it comes to the Raiders game, like all eyes,

1739
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 4: all focused goes like the one team. That's the one

1740
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 4: time that I'd love to tell you that I'm paying

1741
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 4: attention to anything else. I'm not like they're gonna let

1742
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 4: me out in public tomorrow at this you know that

1743
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 4: the Venetian, like the Yahoo Sports Book gonna be there

1744
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 4: hanging out right, and they're gonna have all these social

1745
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 4: media influencers with their phones out and doing that. Like

1746
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 4: that's gonna be dangerous for me, man, because you know,

1747
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 4: the first thing I know is my language isn't isn't

1748
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,559
Speaker 4: family friendly. I know that I yell a lot, and

1749
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:40,719
Speaker 4: I know that I talk to the TV level players

1750
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,600
Speaker 4: can actually talk like like it's like they can hear me.

1751
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 4: I don't know what's gonna come out of my mouth,

1752
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 4: Like I'm I'm a little worried about being like I

1753
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 4: just like to be somewhere where I can have unlimited

1754
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 4: donuts and unlimited diet soda. And I understand how stupid

1755
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 4: those two things sound together, but but they're my joys.

1756
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 4: So I want my diet soda, I want my donuts,

1757
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 4: and I want my Raiders. I want anything else in

1758
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 4: the middle. You know, it's I'm worried about tomorrow because

1759
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 4: I'm worried about my ability to keep my job through tomorrow.

1760
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 2: I like to you go, diet coke and donuts pretty good.

1761
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 4: I mean, Diet Rutier and diet Doctor Pepper are both

1762
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 4: like oh Chef's kiss, right, Like those are those are

1763
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 4: It's like a little splurge that way, And I don't know,

1764
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 4: maybe that's balance, but yeah, it's not uncommon for me.

1765
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 4: Like I said on the on the tour bus, I

1766
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 4: was going through a dozen donuts in a football game

1767
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 4: and then four or five two liter bottles. So like

1768
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 4: that's that shows you like I stress eat, I stress drink.

1769
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 4: So those are the two things I'm going to be

1770
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 4: doing tomorrow, especially because I you know, I rarely do this.

1771
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 4: I try not to put money on my beloved Raiders

1772
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 4: because I don't want to get hurt. But I feel

1773
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 4: really good about the matchup, so I just went all in.

1774
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 4: So now not only am I emotionally invested, but I

1775
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:50,879
Speaker 4: am financially invested.

1776
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 2: Like we're just liking tomar. Let's let's let's because we're

1777
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 2: going to go through team by team. We're going to

1778
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 2: go through the matchups and kind of look at the storylines.

1779
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 2: And I really want to cover that this hour. So

1780
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 2: let's start since you brought them up. And by the way,

1781
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 2: it's funny how you go diet, diet soda and donuts,

1782
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 2: so I would be, uh, pallagrena and cheese steaks.

1783
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 4: Hey, let me a sparkling water. That's that's that's the youth.

1784
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 4: The sparkling water is a Monday through Saturday. The diet

1785
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 4: soda is the Sunday.

1786
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: There we go.

1787
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I gotta bribe my kids, right like, because

1788
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 2: I need when we're around, I gotta bribe them. So

1789
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 2: I'll go get pizza and cheese steaks for them and

1790
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,479
Speaker 2: you know, let them let them feast because I figured,

1791
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 2: you know what if I can get them to watch

1792
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 2: because they both play football. So I'm like, yo, you

1793
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 2: gotta watch the game. You gotta study, you gonna you're

1794
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 2: gonna understand the game. So I'm constantly yelling preaching like

1795
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 2: the game to them. So I have to bribe them.

1796
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 2: So the best way to bribe is with food, you know,

1797
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 2: Dorito's and David chips or whatever. He's what. All right,

1798
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 2: let me just just sit here. What's the game? Woman?

1799
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 2: Please and put your phone down. I mean, well, I'm

1800
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:08,520
Speaker 2: on my phone, all right, So let's look at Raiders,

1801
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 2: Raiders and Broncos And uh, I'm curious because listen, you

1802
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 2: know the whole Ross is going to be under Peyton.

1803
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 2: I have no idea, no judy. So that means, you know,

1804
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 2: he's down a receiver and I don't know how that

1805
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 2: marriage is going to work. If anybody can get him

1806
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,639
Speaker 2: kind of resuscitated, it's Peyton. But I think it's gonna

1807
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 2: be a while. And I do think the Raiders are

1808
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 2: kind of undervalued. And I don't hate Jimmy g.

1809
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 4: I think the Broncos are currently the most overrated team

1810
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 4: in the NFL and they are going to absolutely hit

1811
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 4: a wall this year. And this has nothing to do

1812
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 4: with my fandom because I can turn around admit them.

1813
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 4: I think the Chiefs are one of the best and

1814
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 4: the Chargers are one of the best. Like, I have

1815
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 4: no problem. It makes it easier when your team's not

1816
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 4: good to admit that their opponents are good, because then

1817
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 4: you feel better about it, right, But that's not the

1818
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 4: case with the Broncos. And go back in history and

1819
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 4: look at how many coaches have come in for a

1820
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 4: second stint and how quickly it usually works.

1821
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 1: Even Joe Gibbs struggled when he went back to Washington. Right.

1822
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 4: So this concept that Sean Payton's going to come in

1823
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 4: and just suddenly, bam, everything's fixed, I don't think it happens.

1824
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 4: I think the Broncos are going to be fine over time,

1825
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 4: but this year they'll take a step back. I don't

1826
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 4: think the Russ marriage is a good one, and frankly,

1827
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 4: I think he's cooked, so to Russ is going to

1828
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 4: go into this game where the Raiders are at this point,

1829
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 4: The biggest strength for them coming through the preseason and

1830
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:33,679
Speaker 4: through practices was their defensive line. They can get after

1831
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,640
Speaker 4: the quarterback. Even without Chandler Jones playing, They're still going

1832
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 4: to be able to get after the quarterback.

1833
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: Max Crosby's going to have a big game.

1834
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 4: I think they'll be disruptive. Raiders have played it well

1835
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 4: against the Broncos. Josh Jacobs is fresh. This just feels

1836
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 4: like a strong opening game statement opportunity for the Raiders.

1837
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:56,679
Speaker 2: It's fascinating the idea of replicating greatness, and it's hard

1838
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 2: to do when you're a coach and you go to

1839
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 2: a different You know, you've had success somewhere and then

1840
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 2: you go somewhere else. That second act is so hard

1841
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 2: to replicate. Now, that's what makes Athy read so great

1842
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,800
Speaker 2: is the fact that he built the Eagles into a

1843
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 2: super Bowl contender, a perennial super Bowl contender. And I

1844
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,759
Speaker 2: can actually argue that his fingerprints were on the super

1845
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:22,679
Speaker 2: Bowl in twenty eighteen even though he was in Kansas City.

1846
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 2: And of course then he goes to Kansas City and

1847
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 2: he completely turns them into a super Bowl winning team.

1848
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 2: So like that is a unique and that's part of

1849
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:35,919
Speaker 2: his greatness. But it's usually hard to take that success

1850
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 2: and replicate it somewhere else.

1851
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 4: Well, and think about this, Bill Belichick maybe the greatest

1852
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 4: NFL coach of all time without Tom Brady. And I

1853
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 4: don't think this is an indictment on Belichick, but when

1854
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 4: you have Mac Jones as your quarterback, things just don't

1855
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 4: look the same. And we're just presuming that Sean Payton

1856
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 4: is going to be glorious in a godsend for the

1857
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 4: Broncos without Drew Brees. I think that's a huge assumption

1858
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 4: to make. Eventually he'll find his quarterback, I'm sure, and

1859
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 4: eventually they'll get it right. He doesn't have his quarterback now,

1860
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 4: they're not healthy enough to compete. This is I think

1861
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 4: the Broncos are closer to being a top five draft

1862
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 4: pick than they are to being a threat to anybody.

1863
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Listen, I think that's a chew cho

1864
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 2: I think you know you're right about the chew top

1865
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 2: teams in that division. I like the Charges of Ton,

1866
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, and the Chiefs, so I kind of I

1867
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 2: would agree with it. By the way, one of the

1868
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 2: worst sports movies ever, the Sean Payton Home Team whatever

1869
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 2: it was called horrendous. Could you say it?

1870
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,040
Speaker 4: I couldn't do it, Like I made it like ten

1871
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 4: minutes in and I was like, nope, I just can't.

1872
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:38,719
Speaker 1: I can't.

1873
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 4: I'm such a If a movie doesn't catch me in

1874
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 4: the first thirty minutes, then I immediately regret the time

1875
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:46,719
Speaker 4: I spent and I'm out in that movie.

1876
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: Like I didn't even make it to the thirty minute market.

1877
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: I was out.

1878
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hard for It's a horrible premise. It

1879
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 2: was just it was bad. You know, it's a sim

1880
01:28:56,120 --> 01:29:00,160
Speaker 2: because my Masimo likes it. He's like Daddy could to

1881
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 2: say movies over and over again, all right, Like all

1882
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 2: the time he likes There's a movie called twelve. It's

1883
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: about a youth baseball player, and so we watch it

1884
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 2: all the time. And you know, it's like Rocky for

1885
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 2: Little League. There's like all these different movies that sports

1886
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:18,720
Speaker 2: movies that will watch. And he's like, Dad, you want

1887
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 2: to watch the Sean Payton. No, I hate Sean Payton

1888
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 2: all right. More Wise, that movie sticks. Figure, that movie sticks.

1889
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: You see it.

1890
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 7: No, I have better things to do.

1891
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 2: I don't blame you your Raiders. What do you think you would?

1892
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 2: You would? It's great like you and Jason. It's like

1893
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 2: I'm back in time between you and Link ganging up

1894
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 2: on me Raider Nation. It's awesome. So tell me your

1895
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 2: thoughts about tomorrow.

1896
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 5: I'm pretty much in lockstep with you guys when it

1897
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,759
Speaker 5: comes to Denver. Just a general outlook, that offensive line

1898
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 5: isn't any better. Garat Bowles is like bear hugs more

1899
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 5: than he actually blocks anybody. McGlinchey I think hasn't been

1900
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 5: good as an offensive lineman. Also, Wilson really has thrived

1901
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 5: in his career outside of structure, which is the antithesis

1902
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 5: of what Drew Brees had at his success down in

1903
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,640
Speaker 5: New Orleans. And to your point that some of his

1904
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 5: weapons are banged up. The only thing Denver has riding

1905
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 5: on them is their defense. Their defensive backfield is spectacular,

1906
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 5: but that's only gonna take you so far. So I'm

1907
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,600
Speaker 5: with you, guys. I really don't see the immediate turnaround

1908
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 5: that people are talking about. From a raider's standpoint, I

1909
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 5: think there's still a lot of question marks. There's a

1910
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 5: lot of unknowns, how if Jimmy G's gonna stay healthy,

1911
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 5: how he's going to readjust to going back into Josh

1912
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 5: McDaniel's system, how that defense is going to play, especially

1913
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:33,680
Speaker 5: if Chandler Jones is not going to be part of

1914
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 5: the equation. Uh this season, can you name any of

1915
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 5: their line I mean we can, but you know what

1916
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 5: I mean. Their linebacking corpse is pretty much no name

1917
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 5: and rebuilt and retold, and their defensive backfield has some

1918
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 5: young guys without without a lot of experience. So, uh,

1919
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 5: they're hoping another year under Patrick Gramm will help. I

1920
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 5: think they'll have a solid season, but I don't think

1921
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 5: there's any designs of the of the playoffs. But if

1922
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 5: you have to ask me, I think I think Denver

1923
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:58,679
Speaker 5: is still bringing up the tail end of the AFC West,

1924
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 5: and I think the Raiders are probably finishing at third

1925
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,759
Speaker 5: bine Kansas City and the Chargers.

1926
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 4: I actually don't disagree with any of that. By the way,

1927
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 4: I think best case scenario, the Raiders are maybe a

1928
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 4: seven to eight win team if everything breaks right, but yep,

1929
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 4: probably a six win team. I just think the Broncos

1930
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:14,440
Speaker 4: are closer to a three win team.

1931
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 2: All right, So let's stay in the division. And now

1932
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 2: let's look at the Chargers. Because we talked chiefs earlier.

1933
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:22,719
Speaker 2: When we look one of our chiefs, Lions, now looks

1934
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 2: look at the Chargers. So Chargers and Dolphins it what

1935
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:31,600
Speaker 2: is the jewel of the later afternoon games? Four to

1936
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 2: twenty five Easter one, twenty five Pacific Miami. At the Chargers,

1937
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,760
Speaker 2: and I think this thing is going to be a

1938
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:42,000
Speaker 2: great year. I love the Chargers, other than the head coach,

1939
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 2: whom I just think is horrific. I love Herbert all

1940
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 2: day long. I like the weapons they have, and I

1941
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 2: do think that they have a real good chance of

1942
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,360
Speaker 2: winning that division and nay, they can get out of

1943
01:31:57,360 --> 01:32:00,120
Speaker 2: the AFC. They have that kind of talent. It's Staley,

1944
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 2: you know, block them.

1945
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,599
Speaker 4: This matchup too, is the two other guys, right, because

1946
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 4: the Chargers don't get a ton of attention right now

1947
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 4: because of the Chiefs, and the Dolphins aren't getting a

1948
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 4: ton of attention because I pick your poison either the

1949
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 4: Bills or the Jets, right, But this is a chance

1950
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 4: for both of them quickly to show. And these matchups

1951
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 4: are gonna matter too, because I think the AFC is

1952
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 4: going to be so stacked this year that these teams

1953
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,439
Speaker 4: are going to be fighting for home field advantage throughout

1954
01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 4: the course of this entire team or entire season. So

1955
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 4: having a head to head matchup where we get a

1956
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 4: yoked version of Tua at this point, who's you know,

1957
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 4: spent the entire offseason in the gym coming in against

1958
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 4: the Chargers team. That to your point, not only when

1959
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:42,480
Speaker 4: you look at Stately, I think he's been a liability

1960
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 4: as a coach, but they've had injury issues every single year.

1961
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:47,640
Speaker 1: You know, I have to.

1962
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 4: Apply universal benefit of the doubt here. If I'm gonna say, okay,

1963
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 4: the Chargers can be healthy this year. Well, then I'll

1964
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 4: also say two, it can be healthy this year. And

1965
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 4: if that's the case, these could be two of the

1966
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 4: best teams in the entire conference playing in Week one.

1967
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 4: I mean, this is this is dynamic offenses versus dynamic defense.

1968
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 4: It's this talent top to bottom. This I think it's

1969
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 4: honestly the best matchup of the entire weekend. And it's

1970
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 4: a Sunday afternoon game.

1971
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah it's I mean, Jets, Bills, Cowboys, Giants. I mean

1972
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,719
Speaker 2: they're all good too. But you're right, that's a great one.

1973
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. Why do I look

1974
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 2: at Tiua and I go, eh, he's the biggest met

1975
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 2: for me. I don't. I don't particularly like him.

1976
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 4: I think we're waiting still for like his You know

1977
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 4: what do we always say in college football, like your

1978
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,719
Speaker 4: Heisman moment, We're waiting for two to put that together.

1979
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:44,120
Speaker 4: And the other hard part about the injury bug for

1980
01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 4: him is that we all know it's concussion. It's like

1981
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,680
Speaker 4: we're used to as a society. Okay, it takes this

1982
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:50,960
Speaker 4: long to recover from an ACL injury. It takes this

1983
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,800
Speaker 4: long to recover from a hamstring a cash string. We

1984
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:56,720
Speaker 4: know these things. We know elbow issues, we can put

1985
01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 4: a timeline on it. None of us really know what

1986
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:00,720
Speaker 4: to do when we're talking about a break an issue

1987
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:02,720
Speaker 4: and you can't see it. You don't know it, you

1988
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 4: don't know what's causing it, you don't know what prevents it.

1989
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 4: So I think that's why everybody's cautious with Toua. And

1990
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,639
Speaker 4: then we're just we're waiting for that explosive moment where

1991
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:13,439
Speaker 4: he just comes out and it looks like he has

1992
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 4: single handedly dragged his team to like you have to

1993
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:18,719
Speaker 4: have that. We've seen Lamar do that. We've seen Josh

1994
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:20,559
Speaker 4: Allen do that. We've seen Joe Burrow do that, We've

1995
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 4: seen Mahomes do that. We just can't put him in

1996
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 4: the category until we see that moment where it just

1997
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 4: feels like he's taking on one V fifty three and

1998
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 4: he suddenly wills them to VIC three.

1999
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 1: We just haven't seen it.

2000
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and I don't think you're going out. I mean, listen,

2001
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 2: I want nothing but health for him. I pray for

2002
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 2: nothing but health for him. You know obviously, right Isaac,

2003
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:45,879
Speaker 2: when he's healthy, I just go I'm not overly impressed

2004
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 2: his arm is Okay, it's amazing because as a pro,

2005
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts has leaked him, you know, like over and

2006
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 2: over again, like it's not even close. Whereas Hurts has

2007
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,040
Speaker 2: made himself into you know what, do you want to

2008
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 2: call it? Top five, top six quarterback in the league.

2009
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I mean again, he's going to

2010
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 2: have another year where people are going to examine his throwing.

2011
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 2: He had his best game in the Super Bowl against

2012
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:19,839
Speaker 2: a pretty good young chief secondary and a great defensive

2013
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:22,599
Speaker 2: coordinator in Spags who pressured the hell out of him.

2014
01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:25,679
Speaker 4: But remember a year ago, right now, it was, oh,

2015
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 4: can Chalen Hurts deliver for a lot of people? And

2016
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,439
Speaker 4: then he did that. If Tuas stays healthy this year

2017
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 4: and has I mean he was playing in an MVP

2018
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 4: caliber through portions of the season last year. If he

2019
01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 4: stays healthy, he could put himself back in the conversation.

2020
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,800
Speaker 4: It's just that's a huge that's a huge, Mike, could

2021
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 4: you know?

2022
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 2: No, no, But and listen, I lived that Hurts thing,

2023
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 2: and you're spot on because you know, none of us

2024
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 2: the previous going to last year did the previous year

2025
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 2: he had lost to Tampa in the playoffs. The Eagles

2026
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 2: lost to Tampa, and they really overachieved Syriane's first year.

2027
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:02,639
Speaker 2: They make the playoffs. They really shouldn't have made the playoffs,

2028
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:05,840
Speaker 2: but they play. They didn't play anybody, and they're in it.

2029
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:08,640
Speaker 2: And and he looked just horrible, right, like they have

2030
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 2: to feel. Was he cut off half the field. He

2031
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 2: was erratic with his throws. So there was a lot

2032
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 2: of concern. And I'll even tell you at Novacare the

2033
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 2: Eagles headquarters, there was a lot of, hey, maybe we're

2034
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 2: gonna look at Anthony Richardson for the following year because

2035
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 2: they had they had a lot of draft capital going

2036
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 2: into last year, so they were looking at the draft.

2037
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 2: They had made overtures for Russell Wilson. You want to

2038
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 2: think about how a wood Iff scenario. The Eagles had

2039
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 2: talked to Denver about the prospects of Russell Wilson, or

2040
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:44,760
Speaker 2: had talked to Seattle, and if you remember, he didn't

2041
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 2: want to come East, he didn't want to come to

2042
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 2: the Eagles. So that thing never really got again. Andy

2043
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 2: Steam they were watching the Shawn Watson stuff, so they

2044
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,680
Speaker 2: were and they had an eye out that you know,

2045
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:58,559
Speaker 2: we don't know if Jalen's going to pan out and

2046
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 2: it turns out he's a tireless worker. It's the it's

2047
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 2: the second year in his system, and he just looked,

2048
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 2: you know, spectacular last year.

2049
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2050
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 4: And by the way, the tireless worker portion of that,

2051
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 4: I think that is part of what we have to

2052
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 4: just keep in this equation. So much of what quarterbacks

2053
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 4: are going to become is really laid at their own feet,

2054
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 4: like what do they put into it?

2055
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 1: What are they getting out of it? You know?

2056
01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 4: And we all know that Tua, you know, has been

2057
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 4: a little bit you know two has been a little

2058
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 4: bit more let's say, assertive in some of what he

2059
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 4: had to say over the course of the last few weeks.

2060
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: I think that's good.

2061
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 4: I think to at some point has to sort of

2062
01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 4: step up and stand out and start to be that guy,

2063
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 4: you know. I think that's an important part of his

2064
01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:43,720
Speaker 4: development process to me.

2065
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the other thing is in shape brings up

2066
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 2: a good point. And this is the thing that we

2067
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,679
Speaker 2: are concerned when it comes to Tua, which is at

2068
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 2: what point is he Andrew luck which is one of

2069
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 2: the great shames and sins of all time, is that

2070
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 2: you know, he gets robbed of what it could have

2071
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 2: been an incredible career.

2072
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 4: The only thing I would say is that Andrew Luck

2073
01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 4: knew he needed to walk away. I mean, I do know,

2074
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:14,719
Speaker 4: and was able to talk to some of the family

2075
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 4: members around too. I know it was a long conversation

2076
01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 4: that the family had, and there was a lot of

2077
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 4: conversation around that, but they, the entire family feels like

2078
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:25,680
Speaker 4: he's capable of continuing. So that does speak to one

2079
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,559
Speaker 4: difference in my mind that tuas where Andrew Luck looked

2080
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 4: at it and said, Nah, not worth it, tuas looking

2081
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 4: at it saying whatever it takes to get on the field,

2082
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 4: I want to do. That has to mean something here.

2083
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 4: I don't think if he really felt like he couldn't

2084
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 4: stay healthy, then he would continue to put his body

2085
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 4: through it.

2086
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:43,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. All right, coming up, Let's

2087
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 2: stay in the AFC East. Oh, they're freaking out over here,

2088
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:55,440
Speaker 2: Chase it fits there going knots in New York. The Gangreen,

2089
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 2: the Jets, Jets, Jets, they are like everybody's going not.

2090
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:03,720
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Rogers and the Jets. And I

2091
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 2: think everybody's got bills fatigue, and I think that's a mistake.

2092
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 2: So we'll get into the AFC East, coming up, looking

2093
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 2: at your matchups, Fellas geeking out football and Matt right

2102
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 2: Is it a violation for me.

2103
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 12: To root against my kids baseball team tomorrow or root

2104
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:03,479
Speaker 12: or root for rain because we have a tournament that's

2105
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 12: an hour and change away from my house and I

2106
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 12: don't I want to watch.

2107
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 2: Football all day and we had Eagles playing four twenty

2108
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 2: five and I'm cringed at just the thought of being

2109
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 2: at this field all day.

2110
01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: Cousin, I got you on this. This is simple, all right.

2111
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,519
Speaker 4: All you need to do is root for your kids

2112
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 4: to play incredibly well, but the team to lose, all right,

2113
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:30,080
Speaker 4: so they still have the best experience they can have.

2114
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 4: And they can continue to grow. But the team just

2115
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 4: couldn't get it done that day, you know, and hey,

2116
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 4: then you can teach valuable lessons about Hey, you can

2117
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 4: go out and give your best and sometimes that doesn't

2118
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 4: mean that the results what you want on the field,

2119
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 4: but you know, you live to see another day and

2120
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 4: you try and get it done. And you sit there

2121
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 4: and you laugh at what a great dad you are

2122
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 4: while you're watching the games, because you're sitting there watching

2123
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:51,479
Speaker 4: the games supporting their dreams.

2124
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 1: All right, but you were rooting for them to be great.

2125
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:55,639
Speaker 1: That's all we.

2126
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 4: Need focus on. We don't need focus on what we're

2127
01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 4: rooting against. We just need to focus on what we're

2128
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 4: rooting for. Four we're rooting for their personal greatness.

2129
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:03,840
Speaker 1: I got you.

2130
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 2: You're a genius man. I love it. Like you're thinking

2131
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 2: about the tournament starts today. So we got like two

2132
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:16,680

01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,559
Speaker 5: back to you, thanks fig.

2165
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:05,400
Speaker 2: We are the fellas as we hang out from the

2166
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 2: tire rack dot com studios. All right, Rogers Jets, you

2167
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 2: buying Brava.

2168
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 4: No, not at all. And here's the thing I'm buying.

2169
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 4: They're gonna be good. But this is what you have

2170
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 4: to do going into a season. In my opinion, you

2171
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 4: have to apply benefit of the doubt, as I said earlier,

2172
01:43:23,080 --> 01:43:25,720
Speaker 4: universally to every team. So if we're only gonna think

2173
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 4: sunshine and roses, we have to think that about every team.

2174
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: So if you look at the AFC East, if.

2175
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 4: I'm gonna buy that Aaron Rodgers goes back to MVP

2176
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 4: form and that everything's gonna be glorious for Aaron Rodgers,

2177
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:38,320
Speaker 4: and that that offensive line is not going to be

2178
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 4: a problem for the Jets. If I'm gonna buy all

2179
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 4: of those things, that's fine, then I also have to

2180
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 4: turn around and buy that in the second year with

2181
01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 4: Ken Dorsey is the offensive coordinator, that Josh Allen doesn't

2182
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 4: make as many boneheaded stupid throws in the red zone

2183
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 4: as he did last year, that the injury bug won't

2184
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 4: hit the Bills on the defensive side of the ball.

2185
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:57,920
Speaker 4: And by the way, the Bills only lost three games

2186
01:43:58,000 --> 01:43:59,760
Speaker 4: last year, So I'm gonna have to buy that they

2187
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:01,800
Speaker 4: can that. And I'm gonna have to buy that twa

2188
01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 4: stays healthy. Because I'm applying universally. If we do all

2189
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 4: of those things, the Bills are better than the Jets.

2190
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:09,720
Speaker 4: The Dolphins are better than the Jets. Even if Aaron

2191
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 4: Rodgers plays to the level I think he'll play. And

2192
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 4: even though I think the Jets are going to be

2193
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,640
Speaker 4: a good football team, I think they finished third in

2194
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:16,559
Speaker 4: the AFC East.

2195
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's fascin. The only thing is a couple of things. One,

2196
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 2: I love the Jets defense right and I think Jets

2197
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 2: defense is really good. Their old line is good, so

2198
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:33,760
Speaker 2: I love Garrett Wilson. I think Rogers still has a

2199
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 2: lot left and so they got weapons they got back.

2200
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:43,720
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not a lot of weakness on that team. Now,

2201
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 2: what I agree with you is I like the Bills.

2202
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 2: I still think the Bills are the class of that division.

2203
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:52,520
Speaker 2: And I think people are off the Bills only because

2204
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:55,640
Speaker 2: they just haven't gotten back to the super Bowl and

2205
01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:58,880
Speaker 2: last you know, two years ago with Kansas City, last

2206
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 2: year with Cincinnati, and so I think the people kind

2207
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:04,559
Speaker 2: of wrote them off like they wrote the Milwaukee Bucks

2208
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 2: off the year they won the title. So I think

2209
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 2: people are sleeping a little bit on Buffalo. But I

2210
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 2: like the Jets over Miami. That might be a butler

2211
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:13,640
Speaker 2: for you and I.

2212
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 4: So, well, let me go to the Buffalo thing for

2213
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 4: a second, because by God, we're going to agree with that.

2214
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:20,439
Speaker 1: We're going to keep pount on the table.

2215
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 4: Like I think it's fair when we hit the playoffs

2216
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:24,040
Speaker 4: to say, hey, the bill is going to be good

2217
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 4: enough because they've struggled in the playoffs. But last year

2218
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 4: for them, I mean they went through the disaster they

2219
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 4: went through. They only played sixteen games instead of seventeen.

2220
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 4: Like I said, Josh Allen regressed in a lot of ways,

2221
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 4: was bad in the red zone.

2222
01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 1: In several ways.

2223
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 4: They had key injuries on the defensive side of the ball,

2224
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 4: and they went thirteen and three. If they had won

2225
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 4: that game that did not end, they would have had

2226
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:46,519
Speaker 4: a home field advantage. Mahomes would have had to gone

2227
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 4: through Buffalo. Think about that, like when you think about

2228
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:51,639
Speaker 4: what a change that could have made. We're talking about

2229
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:53,720
Speaker 4: the Bills like they're dead. I don't think they are

2230
01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 4: at all. So I agree with you on that. With

2231
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:57,599
Speaker 4: the Miami portion of it, I'm going to go back

2232
01:45:57,640 --> 01:46:00,680
Speaker 4: to the weapons obviously, and I think Miami's got a

2233
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:02,560
Speaker 4: little bit of a question mark. Will they commit to

2234
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:04,800
Speaker 4: running the football. They need to commit to running the

2235
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:06,840
Speaker 4: football at least a little bit. I don't think they

2236
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:08,320
Speaker 4: were good enough there. I was surprised that.

2237
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: They didn't go out and get Dalvin Cook.

2238
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 4: But the other side of it is that they've got

2239
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:15,880
Speaker 4: playmakers absolutely everywhere, and when Tua was healthy last year,

2240
01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:18,680
Speaker 4: they looked virtually unbeatable for portions of.

2241
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 1: The season too.

2242
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 4: So I still think that when you put those weapons,

2243
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 4: it's all over the place. All three of the teams

2244
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:27,240
Speaker 4: are very good. It's just not hard for me for

2245
01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:30,679
Speaker 4: Rogers to play. He'd have to play lights out behind

2246
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 4: that offensive line. That offensive line would have to hold

2247
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:35,479
Speaker 4: up better than I think they will for them to

2248
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 4: get to the twelve win range. And I mean I

2249
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 4: could see the Bills again being a thirteen win team.

2250
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:43,800
Speaker 4: I could see the Dolphins and Jets both sort of

2251
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 4: being in the ten to eleven range.

2252
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you bring up how great that division is.

2253
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:53,840
Speaker 2: The AFC East is great. The West you got obviously

2254
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 2: a couple of really good teams. You get the Raiders

2255
01:46:57,080 --> 01:46:59,680
Speaker 2: and then the other. The AFC's so stacked, and the

2256
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 2: division in the AFC North is really good. And I

2257
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 2: want to get your opinion on because I think one

2258
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:10,320
Speaker 2: of the surprise teams I like is I like the Steelers.

2259
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 2: I think pick I hear great things about Picket. Their

2260
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 2: defense is healthy again, They're gonna be able to run

2261
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 2: the ball. You got war and two. You know Pickets

2262
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:24,719
Speaker 2: is going to be a star. I like that Steeler team.

2263
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I'll yell at the Mountaintops.

2264
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 4: I was wrong about Pickett, Like I thought, anytime we

2265
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:33,000
Speaker 4: sit there and try and put a college star in

2266
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:34,519
Speaker 4: the same city and we try and make it this

2267
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 4: great story, I roll my eyes because like that shouldn't matter,

2268
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 4: you know, But there is this level of between the

2269
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 4: weapons he has and how comfortable he's looked in the preseason.

2270
01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:47,679
Speaker 4: If that continues, that defense is where that team division,

2271
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 4: I should say, is really hard to predict to because

2272
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 4: you're right, I love the Bengals and Lamar is going

2273
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 4: to be very good with the new offensive coordinator. But

2274
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 4: then you've got the Steelers and the Browns. Is Deshaun

2275
01:47:57,640 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 4: Watson going to be able to come back to form?

2276
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 4: I mean that division becomes tough to predict because Kenny

2277
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 4: Pickett has looked far better than I expected, and the weapons.

2278
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 1: There are really good.

2279
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 4: Like Pittsburgh's offense has a chance to be dynamic. I

2280
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 4: don't believe we're saying that, but like, yes, dynamic offense

2281
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 4: for the Steelers.

2282
01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:18,920
Speaker 2: I thought the same thing. I'm like, you know what,

2283
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 2: they're going to be good, especially with and it's true,

2284
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:27,920
Speaker 2: like the hometown college guy or the hometown guy playing

2285
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:32,880
Speaker 2: for the NFL team, it almost never works, It almost

2286
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 2: never does. And yet this I think this thing is

2287
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:40,680
Speaker 2: now the rest of the vision you brought up the Browns,

2288
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 2: Shay's Browns. I just don't know about Watson. I mean,

2289
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 2: could it be that he's just off a cliff and

2290
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:51,800
Speaker 2: he never gets it back. I mean, that's I guess

2291
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:54,520
Speaker 2: that's a possibility that that happens.

2292
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so stunning.

2293
01:48:57,479 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 4: And you know, to be clear, as we all know,

2294
01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 4: we're talking about to Shawn Watson the football player here, right,

2295
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 4: And when you talk about Deshaun Watson the football player.

2296
01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:06,960
Speaker 4: At his best, he was a top five quarterback in

2297
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,400
Speaker 4: the NFL. I mean, there's a reason that the Browns

2298
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:11,320
Speaker 4: gave up a king's ransom to get him. And at

2299
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:13,840
Speaker 4: the time, we asked what would make it worth it,

2300
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 4: and the answer was, he's got to make the playoffs.

2301
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:17,400
Speaker 4: He's got to win super Bowls, right, Like, all of

2302
01:49:17,439 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 4: this conversation around what would have to be accomplished, and

2303
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:22,640
Speaker 4: now we're saying, is he cooked? Like I have to

2304
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:24,640
Speaker 4: think that he was trying to get some of the

2305
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 4: russ knocked off that you know, he's getting comfortable again,

2306
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 4: he's trying to get back into a rhythm. I just

2307
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 4: at his age and the way he plays, he hasn't

2308
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 4: taken the hits that would make you say, okay, right,

2309
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 4: he doesn't have it anymore. That would be a stunning development.

2310
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 4: And by the way, if he isn't any good everybody's

2311
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 4: getting fired, like everybody in Cleveland.

2312
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:51,200
Speaker 2: Get you know, that fully guaranteed deal changed the landscape

2313
01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 2: a quarterback contracts, And look, you know last year you

2314
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 2: expected you brought it up like of course, when you

2315
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 2: sit out all that that long, there's going to be

2316
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 2: a ross. He didn't expect him to come back and

2317
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 2: be any good. The only problem is, and again it's early,

2318
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:12,280
Speaker 2: it's preseas, it doesn't mean anything. But during the joint practices,

2319
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:16,240
Speaker 2: the Browns were in Philadelphia with the Eagles, and I

2320
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:19,679
Speaker 2: didn't hear good things about how he looked. Now we'll

2321
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 2: see again. You know, that's what that's what training camps for,

2322
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:28,439
Speaker 2: So we'll see. It's just bears worth watching until I

2323
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 2: see who he is. I can't. I got to refrain

2324
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:35,880
Speaker 2: from the opinion on the Browns because it all everything's

2325
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 2: hinges on him.

2326
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you mentioned those joint practices. I think as fans,

2327
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,680
Speaker 4: we need to spend less time talking about preseason and

2328
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:47,400
Speaker 4: more time talking about joint practices. So much is accomplished there.

2329
01:50:47,439 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 4: So when a quarterback or when a player really shines

2330
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:52,720
Speaker 4: or really fails in a joint practice with everything that

2331
01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 4: both coaches have on the line, that holds some weight, right,

2332
01:50:55,760 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 4: So what Kevin Stefanski's obligation is right now, and I

2333
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 4: do mean obligation is like, you got to sit down

2334
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:04,280
Speaker 4: with DeShawn and figure out what are you comfortable with?

2335
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 4: What are the ten or fifteen throws that we can

2336
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 4: put out there that are going to make you comfortable

2337
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:10,599
Speaker 4: at the outset of this thing, because I think if

2338
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 4: things start poorly and by the way, the Brown's having

2339
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 4: the Bengals week one, I mean that's a huge matchup

2340
01:51:16,479 --> 01:51:19,120
Speaker 4: for them to show that they can compete. You've got

2341
01:51:19,160 --> 01:51:21,280
Speaker 4: to make him comfortable and you've got to understand that

2342
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:23,600
Speaker 4: the pressure cooker is just going to get hotter and

2343
01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 4: hotter and hotter for him over the course of this year.

2344
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 4: They got to find a way to make sure he's

2345
01:51:27,479 --> 01:51:29,840
Speaker 4: comfortable early. Keep to play calling in a way that

2346
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 4: he can execute early. I put a lot of that

2347
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:33,599
Speaker 4: on the coaches too, to make sure that they're putting

2348
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:34,559
Speaker 4: him in the right situation.

2349
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, Hey, don't forget football fans, be

2350
01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 2: sure to tune in to Fox Sports Radio every Saturday

2351
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:45,240
Speaker 2: morning beginning at nine am Eastern six am Pacific right

2352
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:49,600
Speaker 2: after offs for count down the Kickoff, presented by that MGM,

2353
01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:54,360
Speaker 2: my man, Brian no Rich Warrenberger, and betting analyst Jared Smith.

2354
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 2: We're going to have you covered three hours before college

2355
01:51:57,240 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 2: kickoffs every Saturday morning. Listen to count Down to Kickoff,

2356
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:05,679
Speaker 2: presented by Bett MGM right here on Fox Sports Radio

2357
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 2: and the iHeartRadio app Baltimore. Is gonna be interesting because

2358
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 2: the new offense, it's gonna be a much more spread

2359
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 2: attack style offense through the air. Is Lamar up to it?

2360
01:52:19,040 --> 01:52:19,439
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2361
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 4: I mean Todd Munkin is going to come in and

2362
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 4: be creative. That's what he's always done as an offensive mind. Right,

2363
01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 4: So I think Lamar is up for it, and I

2364
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,519
Speaker 4: think it's gonna give us a real chance to finally

2365
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,280
Speaker 4: evaluate what he looks like. Didn't the Ravens kind of

2366
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 4: tell you how they felt about everything when they made

2367
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 4: the coaching changes, right, They're telling you, hey, we think

2368
01:52:37,400 --> 01:52:40,240
Speaker 4: we have an issue. So in my mind, Monkin comes

2369
01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 4: in and again we talked about getting comfortable with the quarterback.

2370
01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna take a little bit of time.

2371
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 4: But one of the most interesting things about their Week

2372
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:50,519
Speaker 4: one matchup is just watching what does this offense look like?

2373
01:52:50,560 --> 01:52:52,960
Speaker 4: What are they doing motions and shifts and are they

2374
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 4: really still committed to running the football? Are they going

2375
01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:56,560
Speaker 4: to try and spread it out? Are they going to

2376
01:52:56,680 --> 01:52:58,840
Speaker 4: use tight ends the way that you know Georgia used

2377
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:01,479
Speaker 4: tight ends with Munkin is the offensive coordinator. I think

2378
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 4: it's it's interesting to see what they put on tape

2379
01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 4: early on, on film, early on on this one. Because

2380
01:53:07,640 --> 01:53:10,040
Speaker 4: Lamar's got all the tools we've all seen. It is

2381
01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:11,680
Speaker 4: somebody going to be able to get the best out

2382
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:12,760
Speaker 4: of them. That's now their job.

2383
01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 2: Yep, Yeah, I fully agree. And I can't wait to

2384
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:19,720
Speaker 2: see Andrews back healthy with Lamar. And I mean that's

2385
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:21,880
Speaker 2: going to be in that offense. That should be fun.

2386
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,400
Speaker 2: And they're going to need to score because their defense

2387
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 2: is not good.

2388
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And imagine what we're saying right there.

2389
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:31,560
Speaker 4: When's the last time we said, oh that Baltimore is

2390
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:33,519
Speaker 4: going to need to go out and score. Also to

2391
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 4: the point that you know we talk about the change

2392
01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 4: in style. If they're going to commit to throwing the

2393
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:40,560
Speaker 4: ball more, they're going to put their defense on the

2394
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:42,720
Speaker 4: field more. That's the inevitability of it, right, So you

2395
01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:45,120
Speaker 4: better be efficient in your drives, you better be able

2396
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:47,080
Speaker 4: to get the most out of it every single drive.

2397
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:48,720
Speaker 4: It puts a lot of pressure on Lamar. It's going

2398
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 4: to be a lot of pressure on the Ravens to

2399
01:53:50,040 --> 01:53:50,559
Speaker 4: execute that.

2400
01:53:51,520 --> 01:53:54,599
Speaker 2: So, brother, we just talked about the Steelers. We talked

2401
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 2: about the Ravens, We talked about the Browns. Well Burrow

2402
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 2: there is the richest quarterback in the NFL. We got

2403
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 2: to talk about the Bengals coming up and whether or

2404
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:09,520
Speaker 2: not it's their year to make yet another deep run.

2405
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 2: Where the fellas. He's Jason Fitz, I'm Anthony Gargano. We

01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:20,640
Speaker 4: to anybody on sports talk radio, they're better if they

Speaker 4: know him, right, Like, So that means a lot, Like

2424
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:25,400
Speaker 4: the fact that he would say that that that's pretty spectacular.

2425

Speaker 1: Good work by him, good work by us, look at us?

2426

Speaker 2: Yeah, so are you? Shade was just busting my balls

2427
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:36,640
Speaker 2: because I'm not a breakfast guy.

2428
01:55:38,120 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 4: Eating Wait wait, what do you mean? You're not a

2429
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:41,920
Speaker 4: bread like like as in, you don't eat anything or.

2430
01:55:41,960 --> 01:55:46,280
Speaker 2: Now usually never eat anything until like the afternoon. Okay, okay, right,

2431
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 2: because I don't. I don't and I loathe breakfast foods.

01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 6: But that's not the case today. You're eating something at

2433

Speaker 1: What are we eating at seven?

2435
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:55,400
Speaker 10: And So.

2436
01:55:57,120 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 2: I had a long day yesterday, I get back and

2437
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:04,879
Speaker 2: I I brought home pizza and steak sandwiches for the family.

2438
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:08,200
Speaker 2: So I had gotten a pizza steak. You know what

2439
01:56:08,240 --> 01:56:13,360
Speaker 2: a pizza steak is, so cheese. It's basically a cheese steak,

2440
01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:16,839
Speaker 2: but with tomato sauce on it. Right, So it's tomato

2441
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 2: sauce and mozza ala cheese. So and it's on top

2442
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 2: of a steak sandwich, so chopped up steak like a

2443
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 2: Philly cheese steak, but it's with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Right.

2444
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:31,960
Speaker 2: So I got the pizza steak. I didn't eat it

2445
01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 2: because I had a long day and I just whatever.

2446
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,680
Speaker 2: So I woke up. I was hungry, so I grabbed

2447
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:39,920
Speaker 2: half and I was eating that because Sha goes, what

2448
01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 2: do you muntion on? I got a half a pizza steak,

2449
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:45,720
Speaker 2: and he goes, what it's seven o'clock. I go, dude,

2450
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 2: I hate breakfast, Like I don't eat eggs, I skiv

2451
01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 2: all that breakfast stuff.

2452
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:54,800
Speaker 6: But that doesn't mean you eat a pizza steaks.

2453
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:58,120
Speaker 4: I'm still stunned at this phrase pizza steak, because it

2454
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:01,400
Speaker 4: really feels like an episode Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's

2455
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 4: like the Gang discovers pizza steak, Like it feels like

2456
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 4: that's where like that it is a pizza steak is

2457
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 4: it makes so much sense. It's just it sounds like

2458
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:11,440
Speaker 4: a funny food.

2459
01:57:11,480 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 2: So imagine like you got a roll, right, and people

2460
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:16,640
Speaker 2: know what the cheeseteak is right now, right, So usually

2461
01:57:16,720 --> 01:57:20,200
Speaker 2: they have either American cheese or chadar, like there's a

2462
01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 2: whiz kind of thing. It's that gooey yellow cheese or

2463
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:29,520
Speaker 2: chatter type or in our And in this case, it's

2464
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 2: just mozzarella what you put on a pizza and then

2465
01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:35,720
Speaker 2: tomato sauce. So that's and then and then it's it's

2466
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:39,040
Speaker 2: cooked to all that together and put on a roll,

2467
01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:40,960
Speaker 2: and that's a pizza steak.

2468
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:43,440
Speaker 1: And we're eating this at at seven in the morning.

2469
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:47,360
Speaker 6: It sounds delicious, yeah, but it's it's entirely tasty. You

2470
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:50,320
Speaker 6: started your day just not caring. It's just today is

2471
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:53,440
Speaker 6: a wash, you know, It's like today is not going

2472
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:54,240
Speaker 6: to be a good day for you.

2473
01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:58,680
Speaker 2: Can I tell you anything with a pizza steak is

2474
01:57:58,680 --> 01:57:59,520
Speaker 2: a great day.

2475
01:57:59,360 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 7: An hour in.

2476
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna let you guys know, like most days,

2477
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:05,400
Speaker 4: most days my day, like I said, I take care

2478
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:07,560
Speaker 4: of myself now, right, Like, so most days I got

2479
01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:09,680
Speaker 4: a orange theory in the morning, I do like this

2480
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:12,640
Speaker 4: massive workout I get it in. I immediately take down

2481
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,160
Speaker 4: a core Power protein shake. Then I get home and

2482
01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 4: I have a cup of egg whites with a protein bagel.

2483
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:18,879
Speaker 1: Like that is breakfast.

2484
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:21,240
Speaker 2: That's for you.

2485
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my that's my daily routine. I thought of

2486
01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:27,120
Speaker 4: the thought of a pizza steak starting my day off.

2487
01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:29,400
Speaker 4: I don't even like if you if you start your

2488
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:31,880
Speaker 4: day with the pizza steak, you immediately like the old

2489
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:33,880
Speaker 4: bugs bunny, you just hold up like the little sign

2490
01:58:33,920 --> 01:58:34,840
Speaker 4: that like the white flag.

2491
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 1: You're like, I I quit for the day.

2492
01:58:36,280 --> 01:58:38,760
Speaker 4: Because I'm saying is gonna lead to pizza, which is

2493
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 4: then gonna lead to cheese pizza and cheese stick. Today,

2494
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 4: You're gonna have a pizza steak, pizza and a cheese steak.

2495
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, no, So this is your own stain right,

2496
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 2: so you give them all your eguight you want. I

2497
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 2: don't matter me right, So I justify by saying I

2498
01:58:55,440 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 2: didn't eat dinner last night. So in theory if orange.

2499
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:05,640
Speaker 2: But in theory, I'm having my dinner now and I'm

2500
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 2: going with it and it's protein. So I'm having meat,

2501
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:10,920
Speaker 2: so it's protein.

2502
01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 1: What I respect this.

2503
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:16,520
Speaker 4: I respect what you're saying about the calories, Like I

2504
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:19,240
Speaker 4: did ask somebody once. It's a nutritionist, and they were like, look,

2505
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 4: it's about caloric deficit every day. They always tell you

2506
01:59:21,600 --> 01:59:23,760
Speaker 4: like as long as you're burning more than you take in.

2507
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:26,520
Speaker 4: So my question, of course, was like, so you're telling

2508
01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:28,839
Speaker 4: me if I if I'm gonna eat two thousand calories,

2509
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:30,800
Speaker 4: can I just eat that in cake? If I could

2510
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 4: just eat two thousand calories and cake every day, I'd

2511
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 4: be a happier person.

2512
01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:38,360
Speaker 2: See, I'm not a sweets guy, so like it's funny,

2513
01:59:38,400 --> 01:59:41,040
Speaker 2: like I don't do the sweets. I don't, And I

2514
01:59:41,200 --> 01:59:44,080
Speaker 2: usually never eat breakfast. Some reason why I had something

2515
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 2: today was because I didn't eat dinner last night, so

2516
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:49,520
Speaker 2: I woke up hungry. But I never eat breakfast, so

2517
01:59:49,640 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 2: I'm kind of I just have my coffee. I do

2518
01:59:52,840 --> 01:59:58,440
Speaker 2: five shots of espresso. It's my fair fast. Felts hang

Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be four hours from kickoff. Dude,

2539
02:01:14,560 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 2: how bad at Jace Dion Prime against the Brasca.

2540
02:01:21,160 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 4: You know what's crazy is that when that game ends,

2541
02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 4: the overreaction either way is going to be huge because

2542
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:33,520
Speaker 4: if if they lose, if Colorado loses to Nebraska, then

2543
02:01:33,560 --> 02:01:35,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a whole bunch of people that feel like,

2544
02:01:35,440 --> 02:01:38,080
Speaker 4: to Dion's point, there are people that are out there

2545
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:40,000
Speaker 4: to coach Primes point there are people out there that

2546
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:42,360
Speaker 4: seem like they're rooting for him to fail just because

2547
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:44,720
Speaker 4: they don't like his bravado or whatever. Right Like, so

2548
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:48,840
Speaker 4: you know those people are going to be loudly screaming

2549
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:52,920
Speaker 4: if somehow Colorado wins, they'll be turning around saying, you know,

2550
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:54,600
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, this team should.

2551
02:01:54,320 --> 02:01:55,600
Speaker 1: Be getting getting more credit.

2552
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:58,080
Speaker 4: Right so, no matter what happens, either the hype train

2553
02:01:58,160 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 4: blows up or the doubters come in try and blow

2554
02:02:00,640 --> 02:02:02,560
Speaker 4: it up. Either way, that's part of what makes this

2555
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 4: really fun. This is almost like NBA level drama around

2556
02:02:06,040 --> 02:02:08,440
Speaker 4: the guest where we're like, we just want the soap opera,

2557
02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:10,400
Speaker 4: which we're gonna get inevitably with the outcome.

2558
02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:13,040
Speaker 2: Dude. You know what's funny? How about it? Figgie and

2559
02:02:13,080 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 2: I were talking about this. We talked them about this

2560
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:19,680
Speaker 2: last I think last week over at all the hardened drama.

2561
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:24,080
Speaker 2: The Hasa, I call him the Hasa. You ever see Scarface?

2562
02:02:24,320 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course?

2563
02:02:25,280 --> 02:02:27,720
Speaker 2: All right, so you know what a hasa is, Frank,

2564
02:02:28,200 --> 02:02:31,800
Speaker 2: that's a pig that doesn't fly straight. All right, that's

2565
02:02:31,920 --> 02:02:35,440
Speaker 2: hard all right, Hall of fame, great great player, the

2566
02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:40,200
Speaker 2: whole thing. But he is a glutton for points and

2567
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:45,280
Speaker 2: numbers and himself and not a team guy. He's a

2568
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:48,600
Speaker 2: hasa frank, all right. So we were talking about this

2569
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:53,919
Speaker 2: when it came to the NBA and all the drama

2570
02:02:53,960 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 2: that we always talk about the drama, but we never

2571
02:02:56,440 --> 02:02:59,160
Speaker 2: talk about what happens on the floor, Like we forget

2572
02:02:59,200 --> 02:03:03,160
Speaker 2: about the Nuggets. Nugets were a great story. But in football,

2573
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:07,360
Speaker 2: it's still about the field, all right. It's still about

2574
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:10,120
Speaker 2: what happens on the field. And as much as there's

2575
02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:13,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of noise surrounding Colorado and Prime and everything else,

2576
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:18,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna watch the game and the game will dictate

2577
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 2: how we feel.

2578
02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 4: And with that being said, isn't it a great opportunity

2579
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:27,360
Speaker 4: to continue to discover Shudear Sanders?

2580
02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:27,560
Speaker 3: Right?

2581
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:30,320
Speaker 4: Like, that's one of the things that when you talk

2582
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 4: about five hundred and ten yards, four touchdowns last week,

2583
02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:37,400
Speaker 4: memory service, correct and efficiency, you talk about ball placement,

2584
02:03:37,440 --> 02:03:39,120
Speaker 4: you talk about the ability to run around or do

2585
02:03:39,160 --> 02:03:42,440
Speaker 4: everything highlights right, he's doing it against it now to

2586
02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:47,000
Speaker 4: go into a rivalry matchup against Nebraska, that people will

2587
02:03:47,080 --> 02:03:47,640
Speaker 4: they'll give.

2588
02:03:47,480 --> 02:03:48,040
Speaker 1: It more credit.

2589
02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 4: They just will Like the TCU, people are looking to

2590
02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:53,840
Speaker 4: doubt the TCU outcome if Shutor comes out and does

2591
02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:56,680
Speaker 4: that against Nebraska, even though I think you know it

2592
02:03:56,680 --> 02:03:59,440
Speaker 4: shouldn't be doubted, it will stack up another brick. And

2593
02:03:59,480 --> 02:04:02,120
Speaker 4: that's what what they're doing right now. It's all stacking

2594
02:04:02,200 --> 02:04:04,600
Speaker 4: up more bricks of evidence. And the weirdest thing about

2595
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:06,280
Speaker 4: what we do and what all of us do when

2596
02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:08,560
Speaker 4: you talk about sports is it's almost like writing a

2597
02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:11,320
Speaker 4: book report after every chapter, right like you don't know

2598
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:12,880
Speaker 4: if the book's going to be good. You just know

2599
02:04:12,960 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 4: after the first chapter you got to say, hey, is

2600
02:04:14,760 --> 02:04:17,720
Speaker 4: it good? So right now, after one chapter, Colorado's getting

2601
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:19,440
Speaker 4: all this hype. If they live up to it, and

2602
02:04:19,440 --> 02:04:21,600
Speaker 4: Shaduur continues to do it he did, and Travis Hunter

2603
02:04:21,640 --> 02:04:24,080
Speaker 4: continues to do what he did, that is going to

2604
02:04:24,080 --> 02:04:26,240
Speaker 4: go next level. I mean, Big Newton's going to be

2605
02:04:26,240 --> 02:04:28,600
Speaker 4: putting them on every single time they can possibly put

2606
02:04:28,600 --> 02:04:31,760
Speaker 4: them on, because it's just it's worth the attention.

2607
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it is. And I think though getting overlooked

2608
02:04:38,440 --> 02:04:43,320
Speaker 2: is my man Matt Ruhle and the Huskers, and they're

2609
02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:46,800
Speaker 2: going to be interesting because they'll be able. I think

2610
02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:49,960
Speaker 2: there's a distinct advantage. I think this game is really good.

2611
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:54,160
Speaker 2: I know that everybody and their mother has bet Colorado.

2612
02:04:54,200 --> 02:04:57,640
Speaker 2: They are all invested in this whole thing. I go,

2613
02:04:57,840 --> 02:05:01,840
Speaker 2: not so sure. I think col I think Nebraska has

2614
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:06,080
Speaker 2: the advantage in the trenches and especially on defense. Nebraska's

2615
02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:09,000
Speaker 2: got players on defense, They've got playmakers. That's going to

2616
02:05:09,080 --> 02:05:12,840
Speaker 2: be a great matchup to watch. And I'm telling you,

2617
02:05:13,080 --> 02:05:16,640
Speaker 2: and I think you and I agree, don't sleep on Nebraska.

2618
02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:19,480
Speaker 2: They're gonna be able to control the trenches and that

2619
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:20,680
Speaker 2: may control the outcome.

2620
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again, if Nebraska can slow this game down,

2621
02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:26,040
Speaker 4: like that's what everybody's going to be trying to do

2622
02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:28,640
Speaker 4: from now on. Slow down the pace of the game

2623
02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:31,360
Speaker 4: when you play Colorado, keep that snap count down.

2624
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:34,120
Speaker 1: That's going to be the goal. Nebraska's built to do that.

2625
02:05:34,160 --> 02:05:36,879
Speaker 4: If they can sustain drives, I would not be surprised

2626
02:05:36,920 --> 02:05:40,000
Speaker 4: at all to see Nebraska try and essentially limit possessions.

2627
02:05:40,080 --> 02:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Right, So, hey, we're just going to make this drive

2628
02:05:42,400 --> 02:05:43,240
Speaker 1: take as.

2629
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:45,840
Speaker 4: Long as possible, and even if it doesn't end up

2630
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:47,640
Speaker 4: in points, we want to hold the ball.

2631
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:49,160
Speaker 1: That's the right strategy.

2632
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:50,640
Speaker 4: The thing of it is that means they need to

2633
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:52,600
Speaker 4: be efficient with those possessions, right, They're only going to

2634
02:05:52,640 --> 02:05:55,600
Speaker 4: get a few of them. So that's an interesting chess

2635
02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:57,800
Speaker 4: match to me. I don't think this game is a

2636
02:05:57,840 --> 02:06:01,120
Speaker 4: shoe in either way. And Matt rule if you're looking

2637
02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:03,640
Speaker 4: at it saying, hey, this is an opportunity for Nebraska

2638
02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:04,960
Speaker 4: to make a statement of their own.

2639
02:06:04,960 --> 02:06:06,760
Speaker 1: They were in that game all the way to the end.

2640
02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:09,400
Speaker 4: As we talked about, it was a weird ending. How

2641
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:12,120
Speaker 4: much different if that ending is different, how much different

2642
02:06:12,120 --> 02:06:13,840
Speaker 4: are we talking about Nebraska right now?

2643
02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Right?

2644
02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:16,920
Speaker 4: So Nebraska has a chance to write that quickly if

2645
02:06:16,920 --> 02:06:19,520
Speaker 4: they can go in and beat Buffalo, or beat Buffalo,

2646
02:06:19,560 --> 02:06:21,120
Speaker 4: beat Colorado in Colorado.

2647
02:06:22,080 --> 02:06:25,600
Speaker 2: And you know what, I do love the fact that

2648
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:29,000
Speaker 2: it's like this, it's Nebraska and Colorado and it's like

2649
02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:34,360
Speaker 2: these age old rivals that are suddenly thrust back together.

2650
02:06:34,840 --> 02:06:38,560
Speaker 2: They had disappeared right not playing each other. You know,

2651
02:06:38,680 --> 02:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Nebraska the Big Ten and Colorado now in the in

2652
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve, before that, in the in the Big twelve,

2653
02:06:46,760 --> 02:06:50,080
Speaker 2: and so now that they're together, the rivalries back, you know,

2654
02:06:50,160 --> 02:06:53,839
Speaker 2: the old Big eight teams kind of are at center stage.

2655
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:57,200
Speaker 2: I think that's so cool. And let's face it, going

2656
02:06:57,200 --> 02:07:00,080
Speaker 2: into the season, you didn't think that this would be

2657
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:01,760
Speaker 2: anything like it is going to be.

2658
02:07:01,880 --> 02:07:05,520
Speaker 4: Now, no, no, and think about this too. When you

2659
02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:07,480
Speaker 4: look at the schedule and playing the schedule game is

2660
02:07:07,520 --> 02:07:11,320
Speaker 4: always a little dangerous. But after this Colorado has Colorado State. Well,

2661
02:07:11,320 --> 02:07:14,400
Speaker 4: if they've beaten TCU and Nebraska, they're gonna beat Colorado State.

2662
02:07:14,440 --> 02:07:16,600
Speaker 4: In all likelihood, they could be heading into a matchup

2663
02:07:16,600 --> 02:07:20,160
Speaker 4: against Oregon at Oregon undefeated. They'll have Oregon and USC

2664
02:07:20,240 --> 02:07:22,320
Speaker 4: back to back weeks. I think that's why this game

2665
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:25,560
Speaker 4: is particularly important though, because if they go into that

2666
02:07:25,600 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 4: two game stretch at three and oh, they're still having

2667
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:30,960
Speaker 4: a great season. If they go into that two game

2668
02:07:31,040 --> 02:07:33,800
Speaker 4: stretch at two and one, this whole thing, teeter's on

2669
02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:36,680
Speaker 4: a much different level. Right, So I think this is

2670
02:07:36,720 --> 02:07:38,960
Speaker 4: an important game for Colorado to keep the hype going

2671
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:42,480
Speaker 4: into that Pac twelve matchup against Oregon, which we talked

2672
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:44,440
Speaker 4: about earlier. I mean, the Pac twelve right now looks,

2673
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:47,600
Speaker 4: especially at the quarterback position, a lot stronger than people

2674
02:07:47,880 --> 02:07:49,760
Speaker 4: wanted to give it credit for being even a week ago.

2675
02:07:49,920 --> 02:07:52,440
Speaker 4: So can they maintain that momentum. That's the best part

2676
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:55,520
Speaker 4: about second week college football, real second week, is that

2677
02:07:55,600 --> 02:07:57,400
Speaker 4: we get to see what's real and what was just

2678
02:07:57,480 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 4: one second, you know, flash in the pan.

2679
02:08:00,120 --> 02:08:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's so true. And Ady, you know, we

2680
02:08:03,360 --> 02:08:07,400
Speaker 2: talked about it earlier, but Alabama, Texas tonight, Washington State,

2681
02:08:07,440 --> 02:08:11,400
Speaker 2: Wisconsin tonight. You know, it's not the big, not the

2682
02:08:11,480 --> 02:08:15,080
Speaker 2: greatest card, but it's still interesting. Notre Dame on the

2683
02:08:15,120 --> 02:08:18,240
Speaker 2: road heads he states they're only a seven point favorite.

2684
02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:19,440
Speaker 2: What do you think about the Irish?

2685
02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:22,640
Speaker 4: Oh Man, This is the thing with with Notre Dame

2686
02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:24,920
Speaker 4: is that we love to talk about what they didn't

2687
02:08:24,920 --> 02:08:27,160
Speaker 4: do in the playoffs in the past, right, but none

2688
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:29,640
Speaker 4: of that matters right now because Sam Hartman, who's you know,

2689
02:08:29,920 --> 02:08:32,040
Speaker 4: been playing college football for what thirty seven years? At

2690
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:35,280
Speaker 4: this point he's replaced like Deshaun Clifford is the guy

2691
02:08:35,320 --> 02:08:37,240
Speaker 4: that you're like, oh, he's still But here's the thing,

2692
02:08:37,280 --> 02:08:40,360
Speaker 4: Like Hartman's been doing this just nobody paid attention. So

2693
02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:42,760
Speaker 4: now that he's at Notre Dame, all we're seeing is

2694
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:45,360
Speaker 4: the same version of quarterback he's already been in his career,

2695
02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:47,760
Speaker 4: Like he's been able to handle shootout after shootout. If

2696
02:08:47,800 --> 02:08:51,440
Speaker 4: your Notre Dame you haven't had competent quarterback play in years,

2697
02:08:51,480 --> 02:08:52,720
Speaker 4: go back and watch last year.

2698
02:08:52,720 --> 02:08:54,800
Speaker 2: I mean that was it was a horrible.

2699
02:08:54,560 --> 02:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Dreadful quarterback, dreadful offense.

2700
02:08:57,320 --> 02:09:00,120
Speaker 4: Man, they they nobody wants to see them in the

2701
02:09:00,160 --> 02:09:02,400
Speaker 4: playoffs because they always lose their I don't think the

2702
02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:04,120
Speaker 4: committee is going to be able to overlook them though.

2703
02:09:04,160 --> 02:09:07,360
Speaker 4: His greatest Hartman's play, and I notre Dame is making

2704
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:07,919
Speaker 4: a statement.

2705
02:09:08,560 --> 02:09:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm with you, man, and you're right, Like

2706
02:09:12,560 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 2: you know, the portal really provides something like that if

2707
02:09:16,240 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 2: you if you miss on a quarterback. Now, how about that?

2708
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:25,280
Speaker 2: How about this story? How about Clemson? DJ Goes had

2709
02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:30,200
Speaker 2: some crazy game right and Clemson can't get out of

2710
02:09:30,200 --> 02:09:33,800
Speaker 2: her own way and they can't they get suffocated by Duke.

2711
02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:35,680
Speaker 2: Is that incredible?

2712
02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and not only that, but Duke was. It

2713
02:09:39,520 --> 02:09:42,200
Speaker 1: didn't just win the game. Duke was the more physical team.

2714
02:09:42,440 --> 02:09:43,360
Speaker 2: Yes, seat him.

2715
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:46,360
Speaker 4: At the line of scrimmage. Clemson's wide receivers couldn't get

2716
02:09:46,360 --> 02:09:49,800
Speaker 4: open to save their lives against Duke. Like I know,

2717
02:09:49,880 --> 02:09:51,680
Speaker 4: everybody you know wants to clap back and say, well, no,

2718
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:53,840
Speaker 4: this is different. It's still Duke. All right, let's let's

2719
02:09:53,920 --> 02:09:56,240
Speaker 4: let's let's be real. Clemson is supposed to be better

2720
02:09:56,240 --> 02:09:58,720
Speaker 4: than Duke. So this is interesting because as much as

2721
02:09:58,720 --> 02:10:01,520
Speaker 4: we've talked about d on and what coach Prime is

2722
02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:03,960
Speaker 4: going to do for coaching in college football. I'm looking

2723
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:06,880
Speaker 4: at Dabbo thinking, man, you were supposed to be the

2724
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:09,240
Speaker 4: next Saban at one point, and now it.

2725
02:10:09,240 --> 02:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Looks like you're gonna have to figure out how to.

2726
02:10:11,120 --> 02:10:13,400
Speaker 4: Compete in the new world, right, Like he seems to

2727
02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:17,000
Speaker 4: be so resistant to nil and so resistant to the

2728
02:10:17,040 --> 02:10:19,360
Speaker 4: transfer portal and all of these things that it's like, well,

2729
02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:22,360
Speaker 4: that's cool, man, but like, you know what what's cooler

2730
02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:24,480
Speaker 4: is winning football games. Like Clemson fans are not going

2731
02:10:24,560 --> 02:10:26,840
Speaker 4: to be happy if this turns into a three loss

2732
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:27,560
Speaker 4: team every year.

2733
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:28,960
Speaker 1: My god, I know.

2734
02:10:29,200 --> 02:10:31,480
Speaker 2: And you could see it, like you could see it

2735
02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:35,200
Speaker 2: totally teetering and kind of going that way I have

2736
02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:39,120
Speaker 2: that was and then to add, you know, salt to

2737
02:10:39,160 --> 02:10:41,960
Speaker 2: the wound, there's DJ going and going and playing out

2738
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:42,520
Speaker 2: of his mind.

2739
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2740
02:10:43,440 --> 02:10:45,680
Speaker 4: Well, and that comes back to something we talked about

2741
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:48,000
Speaker 4: earlier with the way we view coaches. Right when you

2742
02:10:48,080 --> 02:10:50,400
Speaker 4: had Trevor Lawrence, when you had the college version of

2743
02:10:50,440 --> 02:10:53,880
Speaker 4: Shaun Watson, boy, your program looked like it was set

2744
02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:56,640
Speaker 4: for life. And now you know it hasn't looked as good.

2745
02:10:56,640 --> 02:10:58,840
Speaker 4: But you're right, DJ goes somewhere else and does that,

2746
02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:01,640
Speaker 4: and it's it's eye opening because now you have to

2747
02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 4: start asking a bunch of questions about what the future

2748
02:11:04,280 --> 02:11:07,080
Speaker 4: looks like because the ACC just is not going to

2749
02:11:07,160 --> 02:11:09,240
Speaker 4: be on par with the other Big two when all

2750
02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:11,720
Speaker 4: this expansion goes down. I mean, you better be winning

2751
02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:14,400
Speaker 4: the ACC every single year because that's going to be

2752
02:11:14,400 --> 02:11:16,640
Speaker 4: your only real shot into the playoffs. Like when we

2753
02:11:16,680 --> 02:11:19,960
Speaker 4: live in a wild card type spot for the playoffs,

2754
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:22,480
Speaker 4: they're going to give those teams to those spots, to

2755
02:11:22,560 --> 02:11:24,840
Speaker 4: the teams that play all of the other SEC and

2756
02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:27,600
Speaker 4: Big Ten teams like Florida State looks like they're much

2757
02:11:27,640 --> 02:11:30,480
Speaker 4: better than Clemson right now moving forward, like it's kind

2758
02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:32,440
Speaker 4: of I think that Clemson's in a little bit of

2759
02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:33,400
Speaker 4: panic mode right now.

2760
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you all right. Back to the NFL

2761
02:11:38,520 --> 02:11:41,840
Speaker 2: because Week one is tomorrow. We talked a lot about

2762
02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:45,120
Speaker 2: the Lines and Chiefs earlier. This is really good games tomorrow.

2763
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:50,320
Speaker 2: So forty nine Ers and Steelers tomorrow. I think that's

2764
02:11:50,360 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 2: a fascinating game. You mentioned Dolphins and Chargers, which is

2765
02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:58,920
Speaker 2: going to be incredible, Giants and Cowboys this Sunday night game,

2766
02:11:59,040 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 2: and Bill's Jets' the Monday night game. There's some really

2767
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:03,960
Speaker 2: good matchups.

2768
02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:07,600
Speaker 4: So let me ask you this, Are you all in

2769
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:10,160
Speaker 4: on brock Party being the answer forever for the forty

2770
02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:12,240
Speaker 4: nine ers, because like, I was wrong about him last

2771
02:12:12,320 --> 02:12:14,760
Speaker 4: year and it turned out to look great, But they

2772
02:12:14,840 --> 02:12:17,680
Speaker 4: don't have much other option right now, and so we're

2773
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:20,240
Speaker 4: just sort of presuming that he sustains it and that

2774
02:12:20,280 --> 02:12:22,360
Speaker 4: the elbow is not an issue. Like, I'm a little

2775
02:12:22,440 --> 02:12:24,440
Speaker 4: surprised the forty nine ers are where they are right now.

2776
02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:27,720
Speaker 1: Maybe it works, but I don't know. I've got some

2777
02:12:27,800 --> 02:12:28,560
Speaker 1: hesitation on that.

2778
02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:31,680
Speaker 2: It's funny you say that I like Pittsburgh in the game.

2779
02:12:31,960 --> 02:12:34,320
Speaker 2: I think I like the Steelers in the game. I'm

2780
02:12:34,320 --> 02:12:36,960
Speaker 2: not Again, I'm not sure I get the kick credit.

2781
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:41,320
Speaker 2: Like when he was rolling, he played well like he played,

2782
02:12:41,800 --> 02:12:45,680
Speaker 2: He managed the game, he made the right reads, he

2783
02:12:45,840 --> 02:12:52,520
Speaker 2: protected the football. You know, I'm still skeptical. I think

2784
02:12:52,560 --> 02:12:54,760
Speaker 2: you are too when you look at him, and then

2785
02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:57,560
Speaker 2: you know you get Donald as your backup, So okay,

2786
02:12:57,680 --> 02:12:58,320
Speaker 2: good luck with that.

2787
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you gave up Trey Lance for a fourth throng.

2788
02:13:02,040 --> 02:13:04,600
Speaker 4: I know it wasn't working fine, but for a fourth

2789
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:07,920
Speaker 4: round pick, maybe I'm risk averse I'll admit that. But

2790
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:10,360
Speaker 4: if I just lost in the AFC Championship game with

2791
02:13:10,400 --> 02:13:12,800
Speaker 4: a guy playing quarterback that nobody even realized was in

2792
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:15,600
Speaker 4: the NFL, I would probably keep every quarterback on the roster.

2793
02:13:15,720 --> 02:13:16,520
Speaker 1: I could. That's just me.

2794
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he answer your question because Lance goes to Dallas.

2795
02:13:21,840 --> 02:13:25,200
Speaker 2: And let me ask you about the Cowboys for a second,

2796
02:13:25,240 --> 02:13:29,000
Speaker 2: because I was talking to a friend of mine who

2797
02:13:29,040 --> 02:13:31,960
Speaker 2: was in the league, and Dave telling me beware of

2798
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:34,600
Speaker 2: the Cowboys because we were talking about the Eagles, and

2799
02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:37,200
Speaker 2: now the Eagles are easily the class of the NFC,

2800
02:13:37,280 --> 02:13:41,960
Speaker 2: and they were saying, listen, they like Dallas a ton. Now,

2801
02:13:42,200 --> 02:13:48,840
Speaker 2: just FYI, I'm a cowboy hater, all right, hater, there's

2802
02:13:48,920 --> 02:13:51,760
Speaker 2: nothing but the They might as well be the Ottoman

2803
02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:55,480
Speaker 2: Empire of the NFL, all right. They haven't been relevant.

2804
02:13:55,760 --> 02:13:59,360
Speaker 2: They were a once dynasty that hasn't been relevant in

2805
02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:04,680
Speaker 2: this century. So they're they're to me, always over hyped.

2806
02:14:04,920 --> 02:14:09,240
Speaker 2: The quarterback's overhyped. Everything about them is overhyped. And then

2807
02:14:09,320 --> 02:14:11,160
Speaker 2: I get a buddy of mine who's in the league saying,

2808
02:14:11,720 --> 02:14:14,880
Speaker 2: dude could be really, really good. The problem.

2809
02:14:15,240 --> 02:14:17,320
Speaker 4: The problem is, and I think they could be good,

2810
02:14:17,720 --> 02:14:20,760
Speaker 4: but The problem is, is that ever enough. If the

2811
02:14:20,800 --> 02:14:24,680
Speaker 4: Cowboys this year go fourteen and three. Let's say they

2812
02:14:24,720 --> 02:14:26,800
Speaker 4: go fifteen and two, they get all the way to

2813
02:14:26,800 --> 02:14:29,520
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship Game, and they lose, they don't go

2814
02:14:29,560 --> 02:14:31,600
Speaker 4: to the super Bowl, there will be people out there

2815
02:14:31,640 --> 02:14:33,720
Speaker 4: that say, see, the Cowboys just can't get it done.

2816
02:14:33,840 --> 02:14:36,520
Speaker 4: If the Cowboys go ten and seven and get in

2817
02:14:36,640 --> 02:14:38,520
Speaker 4: as a wild card and then go through a magical

2818
02:14:38,560 --> 02:14:40,200
Speaker 4: run and get to the super Bowl but don't win,

2819
02:14:40,240 --> 02:14:43,360
Speaker 4: people say, see, the Cowboys can't get it done. I

2820
02:14:43,400 --> 02:14:45,400
Speaker 4: think actually the amount of attention we pay to the

2821
02:14:45,440 --> 02:14:48,360
Speaker 4: Cowboys has skewed what we view as success. So, like,

2822
02:14:48,440 --> 02:14:51,320
Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys are a very talented team. Obviously

2823
02:14:51,360 --> 02:14:52,720
Speaker 4: they've got they've.

2824
02:14:52,520 --> 02:14:56,240
Speaker 2: Got any defense. I love Parsons of death right, you know.

2825
02:14:56,360 --> 02:15:00,000
Speaker 2: Obviously I like Brandon Cook's coming in, so you get

2826
02:15:00,160 --> 02:15:05,440
Speaker 2: legitimate another wide receiver, so you know, and then Zeke

2827
02:15:05,600 --> 02:15:10,720
Speaker 2: is is gone, so your focus more on powered. But

2828
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:15,320
Speaker 2: I still think Prescott's a heartbreaker. I think McCarthy's a heartbreaker,

2829
02:15:15,800 --> 02:15:18,000
Speaker 2: and ultimately I think they underachieve again.

2830
02:15:18,320 --> 02:15:21,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the problem is, I think Prescott is I

2831
02:15:21,760 --> 02:15:25,040
Speaker 4: like to call it like upper middle third. So like,

2832
02:15:25,360 --> 02:15:27,520
Speaker 4: you know, if you took the quarterbacks in the NFL

2833
02:15:27,520 --> 02:15:29,920
Speaker 4: and you sort of broke him into thirds and say, okay,

2834
02:15:29,920 --> 02:15:32,080
Speaker 4: who are the best ten? Well, I think Dak, when

2835
02:15:32,080 --> 02:15:34,040
Speaker 4: he plays really well, is at the you know, he's

2836
02:15:34,080 --> 02:15:36,560
Speaker 4: like in that top ten to twelve to thirteen range

2837
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:38,640
Speaker 4: when he plays really well. But when you're in that

2838
02:15:38,680 --> 02:15:41,520
Speaker 4: middle third, you're looking at hey, when things grow go great,

2839
02:15:41,680 --> 02:15:43,920
Speaker 4: you are great. And when things don't go great, you

2840
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:45,800
Speaker 4: are bad enough to lose your football game. And I

2841
02:15:45,840 --> 02:15:47,880
Speaker 4: think that that could be Dak. I'm not willing to

2842
02:15:47,920 --> 02:15:50,560
Speaker 4: take the same presumption everyone else is that the interception

2843
02:15:50,680 --> 02:15:53,520
Speaker 4: issue is just fixed, Like we don't know what caused it,

2844
02:15:53,560 --> 02:15:55,360
Speaker 4: so how do we know how to fix it? So,

2845
02:15:55,720 --> 02:15:57,360
Speaker 4: you know, I think we need to see it. But

2846
02:15:57,600 --> 02:15:59,840
Speaker 4: the amount of pressure that's on McCarthy in DAC this year,

2847
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:03,160
Speaker 4: it's just again that's gonna be suffocating too. So things

2848
02:16:03,200 --> 02:16:06,400
Speaker 4: go a little wrong for the Cowboys and it becomes catastrophe.

2849
02:16:06,720 --> 02:16:08,040
Speaker 1: I think that there's something to that.

2850
02:16:08,200 --> 02:16:10,360
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I wouldn't bet my house on the

2851
02:16:10,360 --> 02:16:13,560
Speaker 4: Cowboys doing anything other than you know, making the playoffs

2852
02:16:13,560 --> 02:16:16,360
Speaker 4: best case scenario. But best case scenario, I think they

2853
02:16:16,400 --> 02:16:18,000
Speaker 4: can be a playoff team.

2854
02:16:18,520 --> 02:16:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I'm play off team too.

2855
02:16:20,160 --> 02:16:23,760
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't think people are talking Super

2856
02:16:23,840 --> 02:16:26,400
Speaker 2: Bowl again and they're gonna come out of the NFC.

2857
02:16:27,600 --> 02:16:30,040

Speaker 1: You mean the Raiders game? You mean the Raiders game tour.

2913
02:19:33,680 --> 02:19:36,360
Speaker 1: Not It's a rat like I got a Raiders tattoo. Here,

2914
02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:38,360
Speaker 1: bred Brad, I got, I got a Raiders tattoo. So

2915
02:19:38,400 --> 02:19:40,680
Speaker 1: it's the Raiders game, all right. I just just clarifying.

2916
02:19:40,800 --> 02:19:43,000
Speaker 3: I think the Raiders, and I like the Raiders in

2917
02:19:43,040 --> 02:19:44,360
Speaker 3: the game. So does the Raiders game.

2918
02:19:45,879 --> 02:19:48,680
Speaker 2: He's got a big wager. So so how about this.

2919
02:19:48,800 --> 02:19:52,320
Speaker 2: The brain loaded up on the raate or the Raiders,

2920
02:19:52,480 --> 02:19:53,840
Speaker 2: and so did Jason.

2921
02:19:55,800 --> 02:19:57,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't lose.

2922
02:19:58,600 --> 02:20:00,840
Speaker 1: Look I don't. I rarely you know, I know we're

2923
02:20:00,879 --> 02:20:01,640
Speaker 1: just getting to know each other.

2924
02:20:01,640 --> 02:20:03,160
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you this, I rarely bet on my

2925
02:20:03,200 --> 02:20:05,720
Speaker 4: beloved Raiders because I'm too emotionally invested. I don't like

2926
02:20:05,760 --> 02:20:09,080
Speaker 4: to be financially invested. But every year after the Super Bowl,

2927
02:20:09,120 --> 02:20:11,080
Speaker 4: I take, you know, my little like whatever I got,

2928
02:20:11,120 --> 02:20:13,200
Speaker 4: and I just set it aside and say, okay, I'm

2929
02:20:13,200 --> 02:20:14,800
Speaker 4: gonna bring this back at football season.

2930
02:20:14,879 --> 02:20:16,400
Speaker 1: Just start my kiddy off and sprinkle.

2931
02:20:16,680 --> 02:20:18,440
Speaker 4: And I saw the I saw the line on it,

2932
02:20:18,440 --> 02:20:20,320
Speaker 4: and I saw the Raiders on the on the money line,

2933
02:20:20,320 --> 02:20:21,439
Speaker 4: and I was like, I'm not sprinkling.

2934
02:20:21,600 --> 02:20:22,320
Speaker 1: I just went all in.

2935
02:20:22,440 --> 02:20:24,520
Speaker 4: I took all the chips and I said, boom, let's

2936
02:20:24,600 --> 02:20:26,200
Speaker 4: just place them all in the middle. So I am

2937
02:20:26,200 --> 02:20:29,560
Speaker 4: both emotionally and financially invested in the inner rators when

2938
02:20:29,640 --> 02:20:31,680
Speaker 4: which I feel very confident for tomorrow.

2939
02:20:32,200 --> 02:20:35,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, listen again, I felt like you know, and

2940
02:20:35,520 --> 02:20:39,640
Speaker 3: I know, if we spoke on this last week about

2941
02:20:39,640 --> 02:20:44,400
Speaker 3: the Lions game against you and I both love Detroit

2942
02:20:45,000 --> 02:20:47,640
Speaker 3: and we were rewarded. I feel the same way about

2943
02:20:47,640 --> 02:20:50,200
Speaker 3: this game. I feel like the underdog is gonna win

2944
02:20:50,240 --> 02:20:52,360
Speaker 3: the game, out right, I do, all right.

2945
02:20:52,280 --> 02:20:55,640
Speaker 2: So let's let's go around and uh and look at

2946
02:20:55,680 --> 02:20:58,920
Speaker 2: it and by and Jason, So Brad is a pro,

2947
02:20:59,240 --> 02:21:02,199
Speaker 2: all right, so he does this for a living. He's

2948
02:21:02,280 --> 02:21:05,879
Speaker 2: really really good at it. Let's start off with your game,

2949
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:09,800
Speaker 2: Nebraska and Colorado. It's the game. Everybody's talking about it.

2950
02:21:09,800 --> 02:21:11,760
Speaker 2: It was funny at some point it was there was

2951
02:21:11,840 --> 02:21:15,200
Speaker 2: more actual in this game than the entire NFL car

2952
02:21:15,320 --> 02:21:15,920
Speaker 2: put together.

2953
02:21:17,240 --> 02:21:20,800
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable, Anthony, it is unbelievable. But it lets you know,

2954
02:21:21,360 --> 02:21:24,160
Speaker 3: just on to sign out what a great hire Dion

2955
02:21:24,280 --> 02:21:26,760
Speaker 3: Sanders was for this program. If he was not on

2956
02:21:26,760 --> 02:21:29,160
Speaker 3: the team, no one in the world would be talking

2957
02:21:29,160 --> 02:21:32,680
Speaker 3: about Colorado, and I mean no one. And now, as

2958
02:21:32,720 --> 02:21:35,360
Speaker 3: of a few days ago, this one game had more

2959
02:21:35,360 --> 02:21:38,400
Speaker 3: money bet on it the entire NFL card combined. Are

2960
02:21:38,440 --> 02:21:41,920
Speaker 3: you kidding me? It's interesting to know this line has

2961
02:21:41,959 --> 02:21:46,879
Speaker 3: been bet down despite over eighty five percent of the

2962
02:21:46,920 --> 02:21:51,800
Speaker 3: money being bet on Colorado. So look again, the quote

2963
02:21:51,840 --> 02:21:55,879
Speaker 3: unquote sharp money here is on the underdogs Cornhusks. But

2964
02:21:56,000 --> 02:21:59,720
Speaker 3: this is not a game I personally played, because I'll

2965
02:21:59,720 --> 02:22:03,960
Speaker 3: tell you why. I'm not prepared to just totally discount

2966
02:22:04,160 --> 02:22:07,560
Speaker 3: what Colorado did. Answer me, uh, Gadora Sanders to me,

2967
02:22:08,480 --> 02:22:10,960
Speaker 3: looks and there's some damn good quarterbacks this year in

2968
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:13,359
Speaker 3: college football. I don't remember if I've seen a year.

2969
02:22:14,760 --> 02:22:18,320
Speaker 2: We said the same thing. It's crazy, Yeah, it's amazing.

2970
02:22:18,480 --> 02:22:21,960
Speaker 3: I really don't know the last time there's this many

2971
02:22:22,040 --> 02:22:26,160
Speaker 3: good college quarterbacks in one year. He looked like he's

2972
02:22:26,160 --> 02:22:28,760
Speaker 3: a you know, right, potentially top five, top ten guy.

2973
02:22:29,440 --> 02:22:32,760
Speaker 3: And obviously Hunter looked incredible and everything that he did.

2974
02:22:34,200 --> 02:22:38,000
Speaker 3: And this is gonna be incredible crowd. You know, I'm

2975
02:22:38,040 --> 02:22:41,320
Speaker 3: not so sure that it's not because of their offensive ability.

2976
02:22:41,680 --> 02:22:45,000
Speaker 3: Well win this game. We look at the lines three

2977
02:22:45,480 --> 02:22:47,400
Speaker 3: it's you're gonna see two and a half and three

2978
02:22:48,280 --> 02:22:51,320
Speaker 3: lead Nebraska. But not a game I'm betting just for

2979
02:22:51,400 --> 02:22:53,520
Speaker 3: the you know, first, I'd love to see. I really

2980
02:22:53,520 --> 02:22:57,520
Speaker 3: would love to see Colorado win. But to me, I'm

2981
02:22:57,560 --> 02:23:00,480
Speaker 3: not prepared to like step in front of Colorado. I

2982
02:23:00,600 --> 02:23:03,120
Speaker 3: want to see a little more data. And you know,

2983
02:23:03,280 --> 02:23:08,080
Speaker 3: Nebraska the quarterback play, it's just they were awful, and

2984
02:23:08,160 --> 02:23:13,640
Speaker 3: I mean awful last week. Jeff Simms was brutal Minnesota.

2985
02:23:13,879 --> 02:23:17,279
Speaker 3: They really should have but Sims just was that bad offensively.

2986
02:23:17,360 --> 02:23:21,400
Speaker 3: So not that Colorado looked great defensively. A certain ding

2987
02:23:21,440 --> 02:23:25,120
Speaker 3: ands TFU. But I don't want to back Jeff Simms here.

2988
02:23:25,120 --> 02:23:26,120
Speaker 3: I really don't.

2989
02:23:26,440 --> 02:23:29,199
Speaker 4: All right, go ahead, Jason, Well, let's stick in college

2990
02:23:29,240 --> 02:23:31,080
Speaker 4: football for a second then, because we were trying to

2991
02:23:31,120 --> 02:23:32,599
Speaker 4: figure out Texas Alabama.

2992
02:23:32,879 --> 02:23:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the seven feels like a big number for

2993
02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:36,520
Speaker 1: Texas Alabama, doesn't it.

2994
02:23:37,560 --> 02:23:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, actually, and it's funny. You know you actually

2995
02:23:39,879 --> 02:23:42,600
Speaker 3: can get seven and a halfs out there. Encourage everyone

2996
02:23:42,640 --> 02:23:45,039
Speaker 3: to do your shopping because that there is a winning

2997
02:23:45,040 --> 02:23:47,080
Speaker 3: and losing. That out of all the advice I give

2998
02:23:47,120 --> 02:23:49,480
Speaker 3: to anyone, make sure you have more than one out.

2999
02:23:49,720 --> 02:23:51,840
Speaker 3: Get more than one out. You're going to get that

3000
02:23:51,879 --> 02:23:54,720
Speaker 3: extra half point. And this is the perfect example this game.

3001
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:57,199
Speaker 3: Some books will have seven some well seven and a half.

3002
02:23:57,400 --> 02:24:00,760
Speaker 3: If you like Alabama, make sure you get that Steven Texas,

3003
02:24:00,959 --> 02:24:02,760
Speaker 3: make sure you get that seven and a half. Yeah,

3004
02:24:02,800 --> 02:24:05,920
Speaker 3: I think the line is too high. Look, I know

3005
02:24:06,120 --> 02:24:08,600
Speaker 3: Milroe had a good game this day, you know, last week,

3006
02:24:08,800 --> 02:24:13,560
Speaker 3: and they you know, they crushed Tennessee State. Okay, mil

3007
02:24:13,600 --> 02:24:17,720
Speaker 3: Tenessee State. But I really do think that last year's

3008
02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:20,240
Speaker 3: game was obviously a great game between these two teams.

3009
02:24:20,840 --> 02:24:24,320
Speaker 3: Albama got a very fortunate win at the end over

3010
02:24:24,320 --> 02:24:26,080
Speaker 3: at Tota. Here again, I don't I'm not as big

3011
02:24:26,080 --> 02:24:28,280
Speaker 3: on Bama this year as the Mansas are as the

3012
02:24:28,320 --> 02:24:31,160
Speaker 3: market is. I think Texas can win this game out right.

3013
02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:33,480
Speaker 3: I really believe that. And I think if Bama wins,

3014
02:24:33,520 --> 02:24:35,600
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be close. You know, I don't

3015
02:24:35,600 --> 02:24:37,080
Speaker 3: think they're gonna I think they're gonna a hard time

3016
02:24:37,120 --> 02:24:40,280
Speaker 3: winning by double DIGITU. I really do. I like Texas

3017
02:24:40,320 --> 02:24:42,360
Speaker 3: here again, another game, I think it'd be an opt

3018
02:24:42,520 --> 02:24:43,080
Speaker 3: out right win.

3019
02:24:44,160 --> 02:24:47,760
Speaker 2: Anything else stand out to you in college?

3020
02:24:49,000 --> 02:24:50,960
Speaker 3: I mean, geez, there is just there's a you know,

3021
02:24:51,400 --> 02:24:55,760
Speaker 3: so many different games. You know, I will say this, Anthony,

3022
02:24:56,840 --> 02:25:00,600
Speaker 3: the Utah Barringham are just talking about that. You know,

3023
02:25:01,720 --> 02:25:04,920
Speaker 3: Bryce and Barrs actually played pretty well last week. And Bailor.

3024
02:25:04,959 --> 02:25:09,480
Speaker 3: Their quarterback Blake shape and is out and the replacement player,

3025
02:25:09,560 --> 02:25:14,000
Speaker 3: Soyer Robertson struggled badly and they give up forty two points.

3026
02:25:14,280 --> 02:25:19,760
Speaker 3: Forty two points versus Texas State. I and I love

3027
02:25:19,959 --> 02:25:23,000
Speaker 3: Utah's coach. That's just a good program to me. I

3028
02:25:23,120 --> 02:25:26,880
Speaker 3: get Bailor. I bet They're season went under. I think

3029
02:25:26,959 --> 02:25:29,600
Speaker 3: that maybe a long year for them potentially. Don't like

3030
02:25:29,680 --> 02:25:32,440
Speaker 3: the way things have started for them. Uh and I'm

3031
02:25:32,560 --> 02:25:36,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna lean there the Utah laying seven, you know,

3032
02:25:36,520 --> 02:25:39,119
Speaker 3: and another game ant me. This one just may seem

3033
02:25:39,959 --> 02:25:44,840
Speaker 3: too easy, but I just I'm gonna do it. Oregon

3034
02:25:44,959 --> 02:25:49,039
Speaker 3: laying six against Texas Tech. Fix Tech loses out right

3035
02:25:49,080 --> 02:25:53,080
Speaker 3: to Wyoming last week. Oregon. Again, I do think it's

3036
02:25:53,120 --> 02:25:55,080
Speaker 3: a game. The pack fall was very tough this year.

3037
02:25:55,879 --> 02:25:59,960
Speaker 3: I made that number closer than nine, and I think

3038
02:26:00,200 --> 02:26:02,400
Speaker 3: bo Dix and company to win this game by at

3039
02:26:02,440 --> 02:26:03,199
Speaker 3: least a touchdowns.

3040
02:26:05,080 --> 02:26:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yeah, go ahead, go ahead, cousin, No, no

3041
02:26:08,240 --> 02:26:09,120
Speaker 1: you go No.

3042
02:26:09,480 --> 02:26:10,800
Speaker 4: So, I was just going to take you over to

3043
02:26:10,800 --> 02:26:13,200
Speaker 4: the NFL stuff because I have a general question for

3044
02:26:13,240 --> 02:26:14,720
Speaker 4: you here before we even get into any of the

3045
02:26:14,720 --> 02:26:17,200
Speaker 4: game specific How the hell do you guys figured out

3046
02:26:17,240 --> 02:26:19,640
Speaker 4: in week one, Like, it's just there's we've been talking

3047
02:26:19,680 --> 02:26:22,360
Speaker 4: all morning long about all the variables and we don't

3048
02:26:22,400 --> 02:26:24,240
Speaker 4: know what anything looks like and we can't take anything

3049
02:26:24,280 --> 02:26:25,240
Speaker 4: away from preseason.

3050
02:26:25,440 --> 02:26:27,360
Speaker 1: How do you even figure this thing out when you're

3051
02:26:27,360 --> 02:26:28,119
Speaker 1: going into week one?

3052
02:26:28,959 --> 02:26:32,039
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great question, but it's interesting. Week one.

3053
02:26:33,280 --> 02:26:37,640
Speaker 3: Most of my debts, literally ninety five except for the props,

3054
02:26:38,400 --> 02:26:41,280
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of them were made months ago. You

3055
02:26:41,320 --> 02:26:44,640
Speaker 3: heard me correct, months ago, And that's because these lines

3056
02:26:44,640 --> 02:26:47,560
Speaker 3: when they first come out were inefficient. Now they've had

3057
02:26:47,560 --> 02:26:50,119
Speaker 3: they've been supposed, I have had months and months to betist.

3058
02:26:50,400 --> 02:26:54,000
Speaker 3: These lines are incredibly efficient, but you would you would

3059
02:26:54,080 --> 02:26:58,119
Speaker 3: chances to attack what were weak lines that opened months ago.

3060
02:26:58,200 --> 02:27:00,680
Speaker 3: To these sportsbooks. Now they want to have these stuff

3061
02:27:00,720 --> 02:27:03,280
Speaker 3: opened as long as possible. So this stuff was up

3062
02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:05,440
Speaker 3: months and months ago. So there is a chance to

3063
02:27:05,480 --> 02:27:09,280
Speaker 3: find value with certain teams in certain games. Looking in

3064
02:27:09,360 --> 02:27:12,120
Speaker 3: like games for what we're talking about right now with

3065
02:27:12,160 --> 02:27:16,879
Speaker 3: the lines, are they a couple of things? San Francisco Pittsburgh.

3066
02:27:17,360 --> 02:27:19,160
Speaker 3: When I look at a game like that, now this

3067
02:27:19,240 --> 02:27:21,040
Speaker 3: line was at three but down to two and a half.

3068
02:27:21,080 --> 02:27:23,640
Speaker 3: But I still like I like Pittsburgh, and I love

3069
02:27:23,680 --> 02:27:27,440
Speaker 3: the way Tom would attacks the preseason. He's playing his players.

3070
02:27:27,440 --> 02:27:29,800
Speaker 3: They played, they had five drives with the first team unit,

3071
02:27:30,080 --> 02:27:34,480
Speaker 3: five touchdowns Frisco. They're still uncertain to me with brock Perty,

3072
02:27:34,600 --> 02:27:36,600
Speaker 3: I don't know how healthy he really is or how

3073
02:27:36,680 --> 02:27:38,800
Speaker 3: he's gonna do that. Bos of the situation to me

3074
02:27:38,879 --> 02:27:41,160
Speaker 3: is a real thing. I mean, how much practice time

3075
02:27:41,240 --> 02:27:42,440
Speaker 3: is he gonna have? Is he gonna be able to

3076
02:27:42,440 --> 02:27:45,200
Speaker 3: play in effective? Dick both the game? I don't know.

3077
02:27:45,520 --> 02:27:48,080
Speaker 3: I think the wrong side favorite there again. I actually

3078
02:27:48,320 --> 02:27:50,040
Speaker 3: should have Pittsburgh. I think this one should be a

3079
02:27:50,080 --> 02:27:52,480
Speaker 3: baby favorite. Instead, they're getting two and a half points.

3080
02:27:52,520 --> 02:27:55,320
Speaker 3: You could take a dollar twenty with the money line.

3081
02:27:55,520 --> 02:27:57,480
Speaker 3: I think there's some nice value in the game like that.

3082
02:27:58,280 --> 02:28:02,480
Speaker 2: I who it's funny. I love. I love the Steelers.

3083
02:28:02,640 --> 02:28:04,879
Speaker 2: I do. I think the Steelers win all day long.

3084
02:28:05,840 --> 02:28:09,199
Speaker 2: I'd lie love. We were talking about how good Picket.

3085
02:28:09,080 --> 02:28:12,560
Speaker 3: Is well Pickett again, I think Picket is legitimate and

3086
02:28:12,560 --> 02:28:15,560
Speaker 3: anthwer We talk about pizza bets now again, this is

3087
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:21,000
Speaker 3: a bet that again it's exactly that a pizza bit.

3088
02:28:21,040 --> 02:28:25,280
Speaker 3: I sprinkled something on it. But I actually took the

3089
02:28:25,320 --> 02:28:27,959
Speaker 3: Steelers to be the highest scoring team on Sunday at

3090
02:28:27,959 --> 02:28:30,360
Speaker 3: one hundred and one odds. Now, do I expect them

3091
02:28:30,400 --> 02:28:34,480
Speaker 3: to be? No, of course not. But I really think

3092
02:28:34,520 --> 02:28:37,680
Speaker 3: their offense is underrated and I would not be shocked

3093
02:28:37,680 --> 02:28:39,320
Speaker 3: if the still gets off a little bit of a

3094
02:28:39,320 --> 02:28:43,040
Speaker 3: closed start and I could see them scoring thirty plus points.

3095
02:28:43,160 --> 02:28:45,640
Speaker 3: I know that maybe sound crazy to some people, but

3096
02:28:45,720 --> 02:28:47,640
Speaker 3: I think there's a better than one percent chance. So

3097
02:28:47,680 --> 02:28:49,040
Speaker 3: I made a little tiny bet on that.

3098
02:28:50,200 --> 02:28:51,880
Speaker 4: Is there a game out there on Sunday that you're

3099
02:28:51,879 --> 02:28:54,560
Speaker 4: looking at saying, wow, this is the one that everybody's

3100
02:28:54,560 --> 02:28:55,120
Speaker 4: getting wrong.

3101
02:28:57,240 --> 02:28:59,080
Speaker 3: Well, one of the games. Again, I think people are

3102
02:28:59,080 --> 02:29:02,240
Speaker 3: getting wrong and Pittsburgh should be the favorite in that game.

3103
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:04,560
Speaker 3: And we talked about it. You know, I know, you

3104
02:29:04,600 --> 02:29:07,800
Speaker 3: know you're being a Raiders guy. I'm not so sure

3105
02:29:07,840 --> 02:29:10,080
Speaker 3: that Russell Wilson and I know that thing was let

3106
02:29:10,160 --> 02:29:12,920
Speaker 3: Ruff cook. Well, I think Ruff is cooked, and I

3107
02:29:12,920 --> 02:29:16,560
Speaker 3: think that that's a different thing completely and I think

3108
02:29:16,600 --> 02:29:19,240
Speaker 3: the Raiders. Look, I think the Raiders are underrated team

3109
02:29:19,280 --> 02:29:23,080
Speaker 3: in general. I bet their season win total over I

3110
02:29:23,240 --> 02:29:25,760
Speaker 3: was able to bet over five mass season wins. I

3111
02:29:25,760 --> 02:29:27,560
Speaker 3: think that was just too low. I think that they're

3112
02:29:27,600 --> 02:29:30,320
Speaker 3: a team that look, you look at their skill players.

3113
02:29:30,640 --> 02:29:32,520
Speaker 3: You know, they had a guy that arguably is the

3114
02:29:32,520 --> 02:29:35,920
Speaker 3: best receiver in Adams and obviously the best you know

3115
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:40,520
Speaker 3: running back potentially led League Rushian Josh Jacobs. And you

3116
02:29:40,640 --> 02:29:42,879
Speaker 3: have a quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo. Say what you want

3117
02:29:42,920 --> 02:29:45,480
Speaker 3: to say, you give me the trust of him and

3118
02:29:45,560 --> 02:29:48,800
Speaker 3: Russe Wilson. Right now, I'm thinking Jimmy Garoppolo, that guy's

3119
02:29:48,800 --> 02:29:51,640
Speaker 3: still never had a bad year, always done his win

3120
02:29:52,200 --> 02:29:54,959
Speaker 3: And yeah, he had this unfortunate situation where he got,

3121
02:29:54,959 --> 02:29:57,160
Speaker 3: you know, a little wally pipped by the prop Berdie thing.

3122
02:29:57,200 --> 02:29:59,840
Speaker 3: But I think I think Denver's getting maybe because of

3123
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:03,000
Speaker 3: it's Peyton a little bit too much respects And I'll

3124
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:05,880
Speaker 3: get another one on Monday night. And I look, I

3125
02:30:05,959 --> 02:30:07,560
Speaker 3: maybe I know. And this is when me and Anthony

3126
02:30:07,640 --> 02:30:10,960
Speaker 3: usually agree on We're not agreeing on this one. I

3127
02:30:10,959 --> 02:30:13,039
Speaker 3: think the Jets should be favored against the Bills. I

3128
02:30:13,120 --> 02:30:15,720
Speaker 3: truly believe that. I think the wrong side is favored

3129
02:30:15,720 --> 02:30:19,280
Speaker 3: there as well. First of all, matchup wise, when these

3130
02:30:19,280 --> 02:30:23,959
Speaker 3: two teams played, Josh Allen really struggled against the Jets,

3131
02:30:24,200 --> 02:30:27,760
Speaker 3: and I mean really struggled. I think that this year

3132
02:30:27,800 --> 02:30:30,840
Speaker 3: the Jets I haven't power ranked every bit as good

3133
02:30:30,879 --> 02:30:33,000
Speaker 3: as the Bills. They're at home. It's going to be

3134
02:30:33,040 --> 02:30:36,320
Speaker 3: a raucous home crowd again. I this reminds me of

3135
02:30:36,320 --> 02:30:38,200
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh game a little bit, where I thought the

3136
02:30:38,240 --> 02:30:40,840
Speaker 3: Jets would have been a tiny, tiny, tiny favorite. Instead,

3137
02:30:40,840 --> 02:30:42,160
Speaker 3: you can get two and a half points, so you

3138
02:30:42,200 --> 02:30:44,280
Speaker 3: can take a dollar twenty dollar twenty five in that area?

3139
02:30:44,760 --> 02:30:47,320
Speaker 3: Mean other game? To me? I think, MERRICKU bet.

3140
02:30:48,480 --> 02:30:52,560
Speaker 2: What about the Cowboys Giants? I mean, you know there's

3141
02:30:52,600 --> 02:30:55,279
Speaker 2: a couple of great games. There's the Chargers and Dolphins,

3142
02:30:55,879 --> 02:30:59,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys and Giants. Where do you kind of sit on

3143
02:30:59,280 --> 02:31:00,280
Speaker 2: those two games? Yeah?

3144
02:31:01,680 --> 02:31:04,960
Speaker 3: Well look the Cowboys Giants game. To me anthey, fuck

3145
02:31:05,000 --> 02:31:07,800
Speaker 3: at three and a half. To me, that's just that's

3146
02:31:08,200 --> 02:31:11,840
Speaker 3: that's the value of me was taking Dallas when the

3147
02:31:11,879 --> 02:31:14,600
Speaker 3: line was was left in the field goal. Now, when

3148
02:31:14,600 --> 02:31:16,200
Speaker 3: I look at that game, the thing I like most

3149
02:31:16,240 --> 02:31:17,960
Speaker 3: of that game is probably the under forty five and

3150
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:21,120
Speaker 3: a half. I think Dallas the defense is going to

3151
02:31:21,160 --> 02:31:25,360
Speaker 3: be the stellar elite. Darren Waller may not play. I

3152
02:31:25,400 --> 02:31:28,680
Speaker 3: had that total closer right now forty four, So forty

3153
02:31:28,720 --> 02:31:30,440
Speaker 3: five and a half, forty five key number in the

3154
02:31:30,520 --> 02:31:33,360
Speaker 3: NFL forty four key number in the NFL. That would be

3155
02:31:33,360 --> 02:31:35,200
Speaker 3: my favorite way to look at that game of the under.

3156
02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:38,200
Speaker 3: I think that though, I think it's gonna be a

3157
02:31:38,200 --> 02:31:41,920
Speaker 3: lower scoring game than what the market shows right now.

3158
02:31:42,000 --> 02:31:45,720
Speaker 3: And he said the Miami game. Yeah, yeah, look that

3159
02:31:45,800 --> 02:31:49,600
Speaker 3: that's gonna be. I think an absolute, like really exciting,

3160
02:31:50,080 --> 02:31:52,840
Speaker 3: exciting shootout kind of game. My numbers made this three

3161
02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:56,800
Speaker 3: the Chargers of three. You know, I this is gonna

3162
02:31:56,800 --> 02:32:00,680
Speaker 3: be a hard game because you have matter of last

3163
02:32:00,720 --> 02:32:05,560
Speaker 3: year's Sunday night football game. I think it's gonna be

3164
02:32:05,560 --> 02:32:07,920
Speaker 3: a higher scoring game. This is one of the few

3165
02:32:07,959 --> 02:32:09,880
Speaker 3: overs in the week that I like. I think both

3166
02:32:09,920 --> 02:32:12,080
Speaker 3: teams are they get their twenty four points, that they

3167
02:32:12,080 --> 02:32:13,840
Speaker 3: both get twenty four points, it's going to go over

3168
02:32:13,920 --> 02:32:17,280
Speaker 3: fifty and a half. But the sidewise, again, I like

3169
02:32:17,320 --> 02:32:19,000
Speaker 3: the Chargers when it was two and a half, it's

3170
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:19,600
Speaker 3: three and.

3171
02:32:21,600 --> 02:32:23,880
Speaker 4: Any thoughts on on Green Bay this year. I'm trying

3172
02:32:23,920 --> 02:32:25,920
Speaker 4: to figure out what the Packers in Chicago, what we're

3173
02:32:25,920 --> 02:32:28,000
Speaker 4: supposed to do when we don't know much about Jordan Love.

3174
02:32:29,240 --> 02:32:31,200
Speaker 3: I think Jordan Love's going to be fine. I think

3175
02:32:31,240 --> 02:32:34,160
Speaker 3: Jordan Oull's going to be fine. You know, I think

3176
02:32:34,240 --> 02:32:36,360
Speaker 3: Jordan ULL's going to be fine. The thing is for

3177
02:32:36,440 --> 02:32:39,240
Speaker 3: them obviously, losing Christian Watson for this game can be

3178
02:32:39,280 --> 02:32:41,280
Speaker 3: a big thing. I think the Packers defense is not

3179
02:32:41,320 --> 02:32:45,000
Speaker 3: as bad as maybe the market thinks, and I know

3180
02:32:45,120 --> 02:32:48,000
Speaker 3: that obviously fields with the running ability will prefern a

3181
02:32:48,080 --> 02:32:50,160
Speaker 3: stern test. I took the Packers and a bunch of

3182
02:32:50,200 --> 02:32:52,480
Speaker 3: teasers this week. You know i'd see them up from

3183
02:32:52,520 --> 02:32:54,160
Speaker 3: getting now lines down the one, but you can still

3184
02:32:54,160 --> 02:32:55,800
Speaker 3: get them team with the seven and a half. I

3185
02:32:55,800 --> 02:32:58,440
Speaker 3: think if the Bears win this game, I think it's

3186
02:32:58,440 --> 02:33:00,560
Speaker 3: gonna be very close. I do like green Bay and

3187
02:33:00,600 --> 02:33:04,560
Speaker 3: Teasers getting them again above seven, and I do think that,

3188
02:33:04,959 --> 02:33:06,880
Speaker 3: you know, I think Eileen green Bay to win the

3189

Speaker 3: showed last year in limited time what a big play

3192
02:33:15,560 --> 02:33:17,760
Speaker 3: threat he could be. But I think Love has a

02:33:17,840 --> 02:33:20,400
Speaker 3: chance to be Look, Aaron Rodgers didn't play well last

3194

3195
02:33:23,400 --> 02:33:27,039

3196
02:33:27,120 --> 02:33:29,520

3239
02:35:49,280 --> 02:35:53,720

3240
02:35:53,920 --> 02:35:57,360
Speaker 2: Great Kevin figures Figgi when you pumped up to watch

3241
02:35:57,440 --> 02:35:59,080
Speaker 2: this weekend? Which game and why?

3242
02:35:59,320 --> 02:36:01,240
Speaker 5: It might sound here to you, but I'm actually looking

3243
02:36:01,280 --> 02:36:03,119
Speaker 5: for it to old miss in two lane. I think

3244
02:36:03,160 --> 02:36:05,000
Speaker 5: the over under on that game is sixty six and

3245
02:36:05,040 --> 02:36:06,720
Speaker 5: a half. I'm going way over on that. I love

3246
02:36:06,760 --> 02:36:08,760
Speaker 5: me some high scoring offense and both of those teams

3247
02:36:08,760 --> 02:36:10,440
Speaker 5: bringing that to the table. So that's what I'm looking

3248
02:36:10,440 --> 02:36:12,879
Speaker 5: forward to today and on Sunday. I mean, I gotta

3249
02:36:12,879 --> 02:36:17,039
Speaker 5: be glued to the Raiders and Broncos right on. That's

3250
02:36:17,080 --> 02:36:17,760
Speaker 5: a question.

02:36:18,120 --> 02:36:18,760

3252
02:36:20,560 --> 02:36:23,760
Speaker 2: That's right, You're the best man. I think that's fabulous.

3253
02:36:24,240 --> 02:36:27,480
Speaker 2: Mighty Mark, what's your five of thought? What do you

3254

3255
02:36:28,920 --> 02:36:31,600

3256
02:36:31,959 --> 02:36:36,120
Speaker 11: and what the Bears do, and we'll see what the

3257

Speaker 4: Vegas above the strip. This is a surreal view. To

3280
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:51,240
Speaker 4: bring this show to a close, today, I'm watching Notre

3281
02:37:51,360 --> 02:37:53,520

02:37:55,959 --> 02:37:59,400
Speaker 4: Hartman keeps that role going, So I'm really excited for

3285
02:37:59,400 --> 02:38:01,640
Speaker 4: that one. Tomorrow, obviously I'm watching the Raiders. But I'll

3286
02:38:01,680 --> 02:38:03,600
Speaker 4: give you one other good game that I've got to

3287
02:38:03,760 --> 02:38:06,200
Speaker 4: all eyes on, and that's Miami versus the Chargers. It's

3288
02:38:06,240 --> 02:38:09,040
Speaker 4: such a proved game for the AFC. Oh No, I'm

3289
02:38:09,080 --> 02:38:11,320
Speaker 4: just I'm all in on that one. Oh feels good.

3290
02:38:11,720 --> 02:38:13,400
Speaker 2: I know that game is going to be a fight.

3291
02:38:14,040 --> 02:38:17,800
Speaker 2: That's the Figgy talking about the electric you know, old

3292
02:38:17,840 --> 02:38:20,560
Speaker 2: Miss Tulane and all the points. That's gonna be the

3293
02:38:20,600 --> 02:38:24,160
Speaker 2: same thing when we talk about Miami and the Chargers.

3294
02:38:24,520 --> 02:38:27,280
Speaker 2: The points gonna be amazing. I'll tell you that I

3295
02:38:27,680 --> 02:38:30,280
Speaker 2: can't get enough of Prime. And then they're playing my

3296
02:38:30,480 --> 02:38:34,200
Speaker 2: Boy and I'm a big Maddy Ruhle fan, as people know.

3297
02:38:34,360 --> 02:38:38,400
Speaker 2: And so I'm looking forward to Nebraska, Colorado to find

3298
02:38:38,440 --> 02:38:41,960
Speaker 2: out if it's real. Right, is the whole thing real?

3299
02:38:42,640 --> 02:38:46,199
Speaker 2: I suspect so, But I do think Nebraska is gonna

3300
02:38:46,200 --> 02:38:49,960
Speaker 2: be uh give them a test for particularly in the trenches.

3301
02:38:50,280 --> 02:38:53,400
Speaker 2: And tomorrow, while you guys are watching the Raiders Broncos,

3302
02:38:53,400 --> 02:38:57,320
Speaker 2: which is great, I'm gonna be watching Eagles and Patriots.

3303
02:38:58,120 --> 02:39:02,000
Speaker 2: So I'm all about the Eagles tomorrow to defend the

3304
02:39:02,120 --> 02:39:04,880
Speaker 2: NFC and get back to the Super Bowl. And then

3305
02:39:04,920 --> 02:39:08,920
Speaker 2: of course I'll be looking forward to hate watching Giants

3306
02:39:09,040 --> 02:39:10,119
Speaker 2: and Cowboys.

3307
02:39:11,760 --> 02:39:13,800
Speaker 1: Oh the Hate Bowl. There we go, hate Pol twenty

3308
02:39:13,840 --> 02:39:14,240
Speaker 1: twenty three.

3309
02:39:14,440 --> 02:39:18,640
Speaker 2: That is my hate ball. Giants and Cowboys cannot wait

3310
02:39:18,840 --> 02:39:20,680
Speaker 2: to root against both teams.

3311
02:39:21,520 --> 02:39:23,560
Speaker 4: That is absolute perfection. I just want to be in

3312
02:39:23,560 --> 02:39:24,760
Speaker 4: the house listening to you scream.

3313
02:39:25,120 --> 02:39:29,879

Speaker 1: Oh thanks for having me, man. Feels good to be

3316
02:39:35,480 --> 02:39:35,960
Speaker 1: a part of this.

3317
02:39:36,800 --> 02:39:39,280
Speaker 2: Love it well. Thanks to listen to everybody. The Fellas

3318
02:39:39,440 --> 02:39:40,119
Speaker 2: are out.
