9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: What a freaking day? You know? This new playoff format

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: clearly has created, for my money, the most exhilarating season

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: we've seen in I don't know how long, maybe forever,

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: the most fascinating season. You know, the late great John

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Wooden coach John Wooden, who won what eleven championships at

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: UCLA once said pressure causes some to break others to

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: break records. And you know by now today alone Indiana Army, Alabama,

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: Old miss BYU, Colorado, Texas A and m they all

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: took the gas Pipe and Penn State easily could have

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: and of those games. And we'll have to try to

19
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: surmise maybe later in the show, what the new twelve

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: team playoff is going to look like. And I'm going

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: to I'm gonna talk about strength to schedule because I

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: think that should matter when it comes to ascertaining who

23
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: should be in and maybe who's on the outside looking it,

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: because we're going to have this debate now. Is a

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: three loss SEC team better than a one loss Indiana

26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: team who could only muster one hundred and fifty one

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: yards today and that's the first of the three games.

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: I want to give a full autopsy to anybody know

29
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: who Jim Knowles is when Jim Knowles take a bow.

30
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: They brought in Jim Knowles as the new Ohio state

31
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator this year, and he sent his high profile

32
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: defensive line on a hunting mission Saturday. They came back

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: with a whole lot of Curtis Rourke left his body

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: parts all over the field. The entire Buckey's defensive unit

35
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: deserves to have that performance framed hung at the louver

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: next to the Mona Lisa. It was downright scary. They

37
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: had five sacks on Indiana's quarterback, well above what the

38
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: Hoosiers had allowed this season. They were only lying one

39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: sack per contest. Indiana entered the game ranked fifteen in

40
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: the country, averaging almost seven yards of play. They were

41
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: held to two and a half Saturday, eighty three net

42
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: rushing yards and sixty eight net passing yards and that

43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: was your day. So first time this century twenty five

44
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: years that an AP Top five team was held to

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: so few yards in each category in irregular season game.

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: The main critique of Indiana's ten and no start this

47
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 2: season was the question that everybody had on their mind

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: given the fact that their strength to schedule was one

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: hundred and sixth. They hadn't played a team that top

50
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: half of the Big Ten until this week. Anybody you

51
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: know that was repeating that echo Chamber group think talking point.

52
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: You take your flowers as well, because you were validated

53
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: on Saturday. The Hoosiers simply could not block or tackle

54
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Buckeye's thirty eight fifteen win moves them clearly

55
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: past the Hoosiers, and the conference standing sets the table

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: for Ohio State to clinch a spot in the Big

57
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Ten title game of the All you gotta do is

58
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: beat Michigan next week, and they will. By the way, Indiana,

59
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: who's been very buttoned up all year, and even in

60
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: the first ten to fifteen minutes, they look like a

61
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: legit top five team when seventy yards for an opening

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: touchdown in the early lead. But then this truck, you know,

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: the clock struck midnight would allow the analogy, but we

64
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: use it anyway. Cinderella's slipper fell off seven straight drives.

65
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Their next seven drives, Indiana totaled eighteen net yards. That's right,

66
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: eighteen net yards. But ironically it wasn't so much at

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: their offense. Saturday couldn't have scored the Women's prison with

68
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: a fist full of fifties. It was two special teams

69
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: plays that actually changed the game. Indiana lined up to

70
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: punt with the score seven to seven, about a minute

71
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: and a half to go in the opening half. The

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: Hoosiers were set to receive the opening kickoff in the

73
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: second half, So flip the field, go to halftime, tie score,

74
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: and you go into the locker room and you'll take

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: that out Ohio State. They silenced the crowd somewhat and

76
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: then disaster, their punter fumbled the snap. Ohio State recovers

77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: it inside the ten. Essentially they give the free touchdown

78
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: to the Buckeyes and the game is never the same.

79
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: But Indiana wasn't done. Later in the game, their punting

80
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: unit came through again for the wrong reasons early in

81
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: the second half, this time thanks to the brilliants of

82
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: Caleb Downs Give it up the star safety. He races

83
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: seventy nine yards for a backbreaking touchdown return that pushed

84
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State's lead to fourteen points, and at that point

85
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: you knew the Hoosiers were going to be done. They

86
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: weren't going to make up a two touchdown deficit. The

87
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: win did come out of the sales Ohio State taking

88
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: nothing away from Indiana, But I googled SETTI today. They lost,

89
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: taking nothing away from a brilliant season. But they had

90
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: a chance to make a statement today and they did.

91
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: It just wasn't the right one. So Indiana will actually

92
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: have Purdue next week, and I believe they'll finish with

93
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: an eleven to one record. Whether or not the committee

94
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: will overlook the Hoosiers lack of signature wins is something

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: that Hoosier fans aren't going to know about until the

96
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: final ranking show December eighth. The second game I want

97
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: to give a big autopsy too, and this one might

98
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: surprise you is the Alabama Oklahoma game. See here's why

99
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: everything's connected to everything in this man's college playoff football season.

100
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: The debate over whether Indiana should still be in the

101
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: players picture after they lost to Ohio State at noon

102
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: Pacific time today didn't last till dinner time. Because in

103
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: Old Miss lost in Florida. That was one thing. But

104
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: Alabama not only loses at Oklahoma, it was an all

105
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: right debacle, and those two I think will probably just

106
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: about guarantee the Hoosiers a playoff spot. When you consider this,

107
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: I mean, really, what's Oklahoma had done this year? They

108
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: hadn't even beaten an FBS opponent in four months. The

109
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: sooners four straight FBS losses were by a margin of

110
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: one twenty five to forty nine, outscored seventy six points. Meanwhile,

111
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: Alabama they hadn't lost three games in a regular season

112
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: in fifteen years.

113
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: Now.

114
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: To add to the matter, Brent Venables, Oklahoma's highly towed

115
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: do head coach, clearly had been on the hot seat.

116
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 2: Now we get he's one of the best defensive minds

117
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: in the country, just as daplos wine it, but his

118
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: defense dared Jalen Milroe to beat the Sooners throughout the air,

119
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: going all out. They wanted to limit Milroe, who's been

120
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: fairly explosive this year as a runner, and that scenario

121
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: did not work out so well for Jalen Milroe. Before

122
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: the seats were frankly warm, Oklahoma was up twenty four

123
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: to three, and that's where it ended. Bill Row was

124
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: picked off three times, was just eleven of twenty six

125
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: for a bucks sixty four Alabama only scoring three points

126
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: in a game. Three points in a game. The last

127
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: time that happened was two thousand and four. Nick Saban

128
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: was not at Alabama yet, So expect Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

129
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: people in water coolers and bars and twoes and threes

130
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: will debate whether Bama should still be in the playoff.

131
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: But I don't know if it's debatable anymore. There was

132
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with the loss of Tennessee. Will give you that.

133
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: The Vanderbilt thing, okay, But this no show at Oklahoma.

134
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna keep Kaitlyn Debor out of the

135
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: playoff and that, you know, a playoff without Alabama is

136
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: you know, ad your own clever metaphor. But it will

137
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: be weird the third game. I want to give an

138
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: autopsy too, because I talked about this at length last night.

139
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: How about those Kansas Jayhawks. And you know, it's not

140
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: how you drive in life, sometimes it's how you arrive.

141
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: Arizona State has won six at their last seven. Look

142
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 2: out Kansas, three straight signature wins versus ranked teams. Florida

143
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: finishing strong. They beat LSU and they knocked they punched

144
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: Old Miss in the chin Saturday. But Kansas give it up, man.

145
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: They are beating ranked teams now. They're five and six record,

146
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: very deceiving. I talked about this on my Friday night show.

147
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: They became the first team in college football history with

148
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: a losing record to beat ranked opponents in three straight games.

149
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: Colorado hasn't been hot, They've been red hot. They were

150
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: the latest victims. Give it up to running back Devon Neil.

151
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 2: There I go is I would. I had Darren McKeon

152
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: last night singing the praises of Dion's defense and had

153
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: a caller calling in. I wish I could remember his name.

154
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: I'd give him flowers. He said, well, who they played offensively?

155
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: They could really scare him. He's right, Okay. Now, Dion

156
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: and their twenty first ranked rush defense, which is in bad,

157
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: allowed Devin Neil to shred them two hundred and seven

158
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: yards three touchdowns. They lose by sixteen eighty yards and

159
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: a score through the air. Devin Neil accounted by himself

160
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: for two hundred and eighty yards of the night, just

161
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: twenty behind what the entire Colorado team did. Kansas centered

162
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: the season is one of the top four favorites to

163
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: win the new Big Twelve, but something happened and they

164
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: got off to rough start. However, they've been closing very

165
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: well and I think their tour to run to close

166
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: the season gives them a huge role and decided the

167
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: most chiata conference in the sport. Because the Big Twelve

168
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: is crazy, stupid, weird. I know conference realignment remove some

169
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: big name programs like Texas and Oklahoma, but there's a

170
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: resulting mayhem that's actually improving the product of the Big Twelve.

171
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: They don't play a lot of defense, but they are

172
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: fun to watch. Remember I told you you always remember

173
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: what happens in November BYU and Iowa State inner November

174
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: tied for first with perfect records. Three weeks later, the

175
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: it's got two losses. However, they are tied among the

176
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: conference top along Arizona State and Colorado. Oklahoma State in Utah,

177
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: the two betting fit favorites to win the conference. They're

178
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: combined one and fourteen in Big Twelve play and how

179
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: is your day? So there is a path, there is

180
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: a path for Colorado to get back to the playoffs.

181
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: But they've got to beat Oklahoma State next week, which

182
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: they should. But they're gonna need a whole lot of hope,

183
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: and we're not gonna worry about going over that right now. Meanwhile,

184
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: give it up to Notre Dame. They serve no doubt.

185
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: They got better athletes than I thought, and they may

186
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: be a dark horse in his playoff tournament. Florida, they're

187
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: different with Lagway. Give it up to Billy Napier. They

188
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 2: were cheering his name in the swamp. This is a

189
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: team that could have mailed it in. Players could have

190
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: started making business decisions getting ready for the NFL. They

191
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: did not do that. They have You know, they should

192
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: be Florida State next week, Florida. That would give the

193
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: Gators a seven to five record. They played one of

194
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: the toughest schedules in college football history. They had their lumps,

195
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: but I think with their quarterback and Billy Napier with

196
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: renewed life, the future might be Brighton Gainesville, Penn State.

197
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: You're everything I thought you weren't in Less. Okay, there's

198
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: something about this team that just looks boring and mechanical. Yes,

199
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: they beat Minnesota twenty six to twenty five, and I

200
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: don't know, let's just leave it there at the end

201
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: of the year. Sometimes they don't ask Kyle just how

202
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: Annie and begrudgingly, I'm going to have to probably wann

203
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: State in the playoffs, and if they're not one and done,

204
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: I'll be surprised. Hey, football fans, be sure to tune

Speaker 5: Doing great? Bernie?

233
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: How are you good? And I want to start. We've

234
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: got an interesting slate Sunday, some interesting divisional games, and

235
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: I want to start with one that you've got a

236
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: cheat sheet on Arizona, who's been very plucky this year

237
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: they had to Seattle. But you found kind of a

238
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: cheat sheet angle on this game having to do with

239
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: Scott Novak's crew and the kind of penalties he has

240
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: a proclivity to call.

241
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, so novak major emphasis on the offensive side of

242
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 5: the ball, ranked second overall for offensive penalties, is a

243
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 5: total percentage of their penalties called. So straight away, both

244
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 5: offensive lines are going to be under the gun tomorrow,

245
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: and I think Arizona has the better of the two.

246
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 5: But to give you some some numbers, Ye, false start,

247
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 5: offensive holding, delay of game. Those three penalties right there

248
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: make up almost forty seven percent of Novak's crew his

249
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 5: crew penalties assessed, and that's well above league average for

250
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: those three penalties. Right there, You've got that what do

251
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 5: they call it the cyclone bomb or something, the bomb

252
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 5: cyclone coming into Seattle tomorrow.

253
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: I had not heard that this state go ahead.

254
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 5: There's a huge storm. There's a huge storm that's supposed

255
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 5: to its already there. So you've got heavy rain, I

256
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 5: think some wind. You've got Novak's crew who's looking to

257
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 5: throw a penal on every offensive play if they can.

258
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: You know, Seattle's offense is one of the most penalized

259
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: in the league. Arizona's actually been pretty good this year.

260
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 5: I'll get a given credit like they've really cleaned up

261
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 5: their acts because they are one of the most undisciplined

262
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,479
Speaker 5: teams in the league the last few seasons. But they're

263
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,119
Speaker 5: really good this season. There's some numbers there that favor Arizona,

264
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 5: but I actually liked the I don't know what you think,

265
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 5: but I like the under in the game.

266
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: I actually played the under Joe. I got it at

267
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: forty six and a half. When we get to November.

268
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: It's a trend I've played for probably eight years. When

269
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: you have two divisional teams teeing it up in November

270
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: or beyond and the total is north of forty five,

271
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: it goes under about seventy percent of the time. Now

272
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: this year so far it hasn't been great. I think

273
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: it's like three and three or four and three. But

274
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: I think there are three such games this weekend in Arizona.

275
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: Seattle is definitely one of them.

276
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 5: Well, that absolutely advised anyone tomorrow check the weather up

277
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: there because it's it's pretty gnally. The wind is obviously big,

278
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 5: big key in that one, but there's a ton of

279
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 5: reign up there a ton, and you're going to refereing

280
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 5: crew that loves to colo's offensive penalties, and like I said,

281
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 5: a team in Seattle that is one of the most

282
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 5: penalized on the offensive side of the ball this season.

283
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: You know you mentioned rain. Do you know what the

284
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: win is there a wind report? Because typically when win

285
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: gets up around twenty miles an hour, that's what really

286
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: affects an under more than anything.

287
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 5: Right last, that's always like fifteen to twenty guff right

288
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 5: thing to twenty.

289
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: But there's there's a couple other data points you have

290
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: on this. It's interesting because under Scott Novac, the Seahawks

291
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: are three and zero at home, but division home teams

292
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: are only eleven and twenty against the spread. That's only

293
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: thirty four percent. So how do you reconcile that so

294
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: it gives it's a little conflicting the games being played

295
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: in Seattle.

296
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean those are the numbers. I look at

297
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: the biggest picture one, which would be the divisional home

298
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 5: teams just eleven twenty and one against the spread. That

299
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 5: obviously that's much large to sampleifize, But I just give

300
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: you the numbers, and like I said, the Seahawks are

301
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 5: three and zero with Novak. So I just give you

302
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 5: the numbers. I lean to Arizona, but you can certainly

303
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 5: make an argument for Seattle based on those numbers we've

304
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 5: just gone through. Like I said, Arizona and the under

305
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: the two that I would look at.

306
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Seattle's coming off that that big win against the

307
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: Niners on the road, physical game, and I don't.

308
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: Both were streaky teams there, both very streaky. Both quarterbacks

309
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 5: a streaky. I'm not a big fan of Geno's. Mike

310
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 5: McDonald talks him up quite a bit, but you know,

311
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: to quote the old Zoobie Brothers song, what a tool

312
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 5: believes he seeing Mike McDonald. Yeah, with Mike McDonald's great

313
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 5: sunk in the seventies. I mean, look, he's got to

314
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 5: talk Gino up because that's the quarterback I suppose, but

315
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 5: I'm not sold on him. Kyle has actually played pretty

316
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: well this year. I kind of like this Arizona team.

317
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: Well, I like them a lot. I think their new coach,

318
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: Jonathan Gannon has done a phenomenal job with this team.

319
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: I think Arizona's catching a short number, aren't they. What's

320
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: the number you show?

321
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I say pick him in minus one.

322
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a couple other things here. I didn't play

323
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: a side, but Carler Murray, believe it or not, you're

324
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: not going to believe this. He's twenty three and twelve

325
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: against the number in road NFL games, so he's been

326
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: a dog a lot. He's good as a dog. And

327
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: he's nineteen and eight when not laying points, so he's

328
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: not laying points here. And I think when I look at,

329
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: you know, the coaching matchup, but I look at the

330
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: quarterback matchup and I think Arizona, you know, there's a

331
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: reason they're actually leading the NFC West right now. They

332
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: don't beat themselves go They're very plucky. They're you know,

333
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: they're very plucky.

334
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: Like I said, they've been extremely disciplined this year, like

335
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 5: from a penalty perspective, and they with the statistics of that.

336
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 5: The Possese season, though, are one of the sluppiest teams

337
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 5: in the league. They've really cleaned up their acts.

338
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about another divisional game right here

339
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: in Las veg Vegas, Denver visits the Raiders. Last number

340
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: I saw Denver lane six. Ron Torbert has a very

341
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: distinctive aspect to his refereeing style. Once you lay it

342
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: out for the people.

343
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's two things. He is special teams. This crew

344
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: is number one for special teams penalties per game, and

345
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 5: that really just leads to negative field position for the

346
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 5: most part. And then you combine the special teams and

347
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 5: offensive penalties as a combination, this crew leads the league

348
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 5: as a percentage of their overall penalties in those two categories.

349
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: So negative on the offense, negative on the special teams penalties.

350
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 5: Those two things lead to obviously bad field position, so

351
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 5: false start and offensive holding. They ranked second in the

352
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 5: league in per game average behind Sean hockey Ley's crew.

353
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 5: And I'm sure a lot of people know who hockey

354
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 5: Lely is, but Torbert's right behind him, So yeah, it's

355
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: and both defense is a very good generating offensive holding

356
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: penalties on the opposing offensive line. So you've got two

357
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: defenses that can get after it create havoc on the

358
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: opponent's offensive line. You've got Torbot's crew who are going

359
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 5: to look to throw those offensive holding penalties. And like

360
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: I said, the special teams penalties get overlooked a bit,

361
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 5: but they play a huge part in the game because

362
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: more often than not, at least to negative field position,

363
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 5: so it's longer starting field position. I like the under

364
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 5: in this game as well. Torbert's a great under referee.

365
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: This goes back to twenty twenty. He is forty seven

366
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: thirty and one to the under, so sixty one percent

367
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: to the under. The Bungos are actually two and over

368
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 5: with him. With Sean Payton, they had a game earlier

369
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: this season with him that was that ten to nine

370
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: win at the Jets, and then they had him last

371
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 5: season on Sunday Night Football that was a twenty one

372
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 5: to twenty win. So they've had two games at Torbot,

373
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 5: both by one point. They've won. Uh, that's a pretty

374
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 5: big number tomorrow to lay though, you know, five and

375
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 5: a half six.

376
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: But you bring up a good point. Now I'm not

377
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: I didn't get my credential for Sunday. I'm gonna sit

378
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: this one out of bidding off Raider games this year

379
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: getting a headache. But you bring up a good point.

380
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: The Raiders as a home underdog under Torbert, a whole

381
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: underdogs like the Raiders only sixteen and thirty against the spread.

382
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: The Raiders defense is very banged up, and Joe I

383
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: don't have the numbers on this you might, but the

384
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: Raiders commit penalties routinely. Stupid penalty.

385
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, most of the penalties that come on the

386
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 5: defensive side of the ball. To see, their offense has

387
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 5: actually been pretty good, pretty disciplined. But yeah, that's a

388
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 5: big picture thing with Torlbot home underdog sixteen to thirty

389
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: against the spread going back to twenty sixteen, that's thirty

390
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 5: five percent. He's not a good home field referee in general.

391
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 5: And the Raiders play hard. I mean they were in

392
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 5: that game last week against Miami. It was kind of

393
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 5: a fluky play late that cost him the cover, but

394
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 5: Devers really getting pressed out here. To you a premium

395
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 5: premium value, well, you.

396
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: Never want to lay points on the road of the

397
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: divisional game, and you're almost laying a touchdown here. So

398
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be involved in this game. We

399
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: know the books are gonna need though. The problem is

400
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: the Raiders can't score points and Denver's defense is I

401
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: think third overall now, and so I you know, when

402
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: you add to the fact that the penalty is the

403
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: type of penalties Ron Torbert's crew calls. I've seen the

404
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: Raiders and again I don't have the stats in front

405
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: of me. I've seen the share of false starts holding.

406
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 2: I've actually, I actually have seen quite a bit. You know,

407
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: you've got kind of a projected score twenty three to eighteen. Man,

408
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: if the Raiders score eighteen points tomorrow, you know, well maybe.

409
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 5: Can kick six field goals.

410
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: You might. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.

411
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 5: Just don't see. You know, Denver's offense is not great either.

412
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I like the under mold than anything else.

413
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: I think. I think bow Knicks is actually rounding out

414
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: into a guy that I think is going to get

415
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: a lot of Rookie of the Year votes. I mean,

416
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: he's won the locker room over he's making he's making

417
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: plays or yep. You know, they put up thirty eight

418
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: points in four touchdowns last week against Atlanta, and at

419
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: Denver's defense hasn't really got the credit deserves number three

420
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: overall ranking in the league. Raiders have lost six in

421
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: a row. I'm not betting this game, but it feels

422
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: it feels like a twenty seven to ten type game

423
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: to me. I'm just gonna throw that out there, don't.

424
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that the Rats and be able to

425
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: score any scoringy points, but we shall see, all right,

426
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: another game I think that will certainly be heavily watched

427
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: because I think a lot of sharp money is coming

428
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: in on Indianapolis. I'm not not my money. I don't

429
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: want to get in front of a speeding train called

430
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. But you mentioned Sean Hockeyly a minute ago,

431
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: talk about some of his habits and how he calls

432
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: penalties and how that factors into this game.

433
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 5: Okay, so Hockey League number one in the league calling

434
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: offensive penalties. Sixty three point five to sent of these

435
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 5: penalties are on the offense. So to put that into spective,

436
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 5: the league average is fifty one point nine, so he's,

437
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 5: you know, just over ten percent more than the league average,

438
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 5: especially on third down plays, and that's key. The third

439
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 5: down is the money down. This puts another thing in perspective.

440
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 5: Forty nine percent of third down penalties are called on

441
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 5: the offense. Hockey's creucals eighty two percent on the offense.

442
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 5: So that shows you how disproportionate they are as far

443
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 5: as penalizing the offensive side of the ball. They're number

444
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 5: one for false starts, number two for legal formation. They've

445
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 5: actually toned it down on the offensive holding penalties this season,

446
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 5: but you know, throughout his career that they've either been

447
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 5: at the top or near the top for offensive holding.

448
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 5: But both these offensive lines are pretty good, the Colts

449
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 5: and the lines. But the lines offense, by my rankings,

450
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 5: the most disciplined unit in the NFL. So if there's

451
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 5: anybody that can navigate a game with Hockeylely officiating, it's

452
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 5: the lines. That they're just like a well oiled machine.

453
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not breaking any news telling you that

454
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 5: that's super disciplined, not a lot of pre snap penalties,

455
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 5: and so they really have the makings of a team

456
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 5: that can navigate through a game without Hockey League sort

457
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: of interrupting the flow of the offense, you know, those

458
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 5: little penalties, both starts and offensive holdings. The other thing

459
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 5: is the Lions defense is the most penalized in the league. Now,

460
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 5: this makes sense because they play from ahead. So yeah,

461
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 5: when you're playing ahead, you know you're fifty two to

462
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 5: ten or whatever, Well, yeah, the other team is going

463
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 5: to be throwing a lot and obviously a byproduct of

464
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 5: that is excess defensive penalties. But Hockeyley's crew and the

465
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 5: key combination of defensive pass interference and defensive holding penalties

466
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 5: calling the fewest penalties in the league in those two categories.

467
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 5: So we'll see how it goes tomorrow. I like Detroit.

468
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 5: I like Indianapolis too. I like the Colts. I think

469
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 5: Stockings a really good coach, but you know, they're still

470
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: trying to find their way as a team. They've got

471
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 5: a young quarterback, their offensive line. I think they've got

472
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 5: a couple of injuries. Actually, if I remember correctly, where

473
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 5: the lines are full strength.

474
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, well, I mean they lost Alex Sands alone

475
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: last week, and remember they still haven't replaced. They really

476
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: have replaced. He's got a broken arm. You mentioned something, though,

477
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm I'd have great concern about Anthony Richardson. He pulled

478
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: off the win last week, but if you watch the game,

479
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: he had a lot of trouble with mid range passes.

480
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: And Detroit does run a well oiled machine offensively. They

481
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: fall out of bed and score thirty points. They scored

482
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: fifty three times this year, and I think the number

483
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: is six and a half seven. What's the number you're

484
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: seeing there, len Okay, I don't know if the Coats

485
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: will hang that number. I'm not going to be involved

486
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 2: in this game, but I know your your prediction thirty

487
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: to twenty sound sounds pretty good. One last thing about

488
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 2: this game, and this is sort of an interesting factoid.

489
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 2: I don't know how it completely applies here, but you

490
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: mentioned that home teams are forty seven and fifty five

491
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: against the spread in hockey Ley's career indies the home team.

492
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 2: What do you attribute that poor you know ats you know,

493
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: efficiency rate to Sean Hockey.

494
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 5: I think I think he likes to rub it into

495
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 5: the team. I think he likes the people doing him.

496
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is. I mean, there's no

497
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 5: sort of overwhelming statistic that led me to that as

498
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 5: far as like this is the reason that's that number

499
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 5: forty seven to fifty five. He does call it. Over

500
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 5: his career, he has called a disproportionate amount of penalties

501
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 5: on the home team. But there's no one thing where

502
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 5: I can say, well, yeah, this is obvious. Those are

503
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 5: just the numbers. I just I give people the numbers

504
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 5: and you can make of them what you will.

505
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 2: That's fair. No, that's fair. I don't question that. I

506
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: just was wondering, what, you know, what the angle is,

507
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: what the correlation is. Maybe he's not intimidated by home crowds. Maybe.

508
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 5: Well, that's exactly it. I don't think he cares the

509
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: In fact, I think he kind of likes being a villain. Yeah,

510
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 5: but those are the numbers.

511
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: Let's move ahead. I want you to talk about one

512
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: more game and then we'll get to some of your

513
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: favorite plays. Kansas City coming off their first loss, AID

514
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: won fifteen in a row. They visit Carolina laying double

515
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: digits on the road. But what's interesting is this is

516
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: an odd year in the NFL. Double digit favorites are

517
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: covering right and left this game. This crew is Sean Smith.

518
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: Don't know a lot about Shawn Smith. What are some

519
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: of his habits?

520
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, the one thing that stands out with these

521
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 5: guys is they call below average offensive holding. And the

522
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 5: reason that's key is anyone who's watched Kansas City, they're

523
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 5: one of the most penalized teams for offensive holding year

524
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 5: in and year out. Like they're always in the top three.

525
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 5: The best case, they're in the top five, but they're

526
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 5: up there. So straight up the bat, the primary issue

527
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 5: for the Chiefs, which is offensive holding, doesn't really become

528
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 5: a point of emphasis to this particular crew. So they

529
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 5: have had a lot of games with Smith you know,

530
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 5: and this is the third game in the last twelve

531
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 5: with Shawn Smith officiating. The previous was the AFC Championship

532
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 5: at the Ravens and then week four, I think it

533
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 5: was at the Chargers. They're well, they're very familiar with him,

534
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 5: and they've had a very good record with him.

535
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 6: You know.

536
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 5: It's just one of those things familiarity. I mean, that's

537
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: a big thing. When you have the same officiating crew

538
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 5: on a consistent basis, you start to learn every little

539
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 5: trick in the book and you can you can utilize

540
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 5: that your advantage. And the Chiefs have that with this

541
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 5: with this officiating crew.

542
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: Wrap it up with Joe Gibbs at find him on

543
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: Twitter at NFL refstats and also his work with Warren

544
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: Sharp very unique product. All right, Joe, we spent a

545
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: lot of time together in Vegas. I know you're very disciplined,

546
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: buttoned up better. Uh, you're careful about what you do.

547
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: Let's have kind of a rapid fire on three games. Uh,

548
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: the hardball Bull Baltimore visits the Chargers. Do you have

549
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: an angle on that game? If you fired on that game.

550
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: That's the that's the you pick the hardest one first. Donty.

551
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 5: I love Baltimore like I've been riding Baltimore.

552
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: Olie, just listen. I hate when people say that an

553
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: NFL team has played a soft schedule. There's no such

554
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: thing as a soft schedule in the NFL. Some teams

555
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: are better than others. Some teams are statistically better than others.

556
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: Some teams have better one loss records than others. The

557
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: reason I bring that up is because the Chargers have

558
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: not faced a lot of top tier offenses this year,

559
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 2: and they're facing one this week. So your thoughts on

560
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: that game ever so quickly, and if you don't have

561
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: big thoughts, we'll go to the next one.

562
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 5: Well, I like Hobble. I like Hobble's team to win.

563
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 5: How's that?

564
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

565
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 5: There you go, bet bet the Harbaugh and you keep

566
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 5: out seriously serious, it would be Baltimore or nothing to me?

567
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: All right? Fair enough? I mean interesting. There's one side

568
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: interesting aspect about this game, and that is uh, it's

569
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: the only matchup on the entire card where both teams

570
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: have a winning record both teams. It's the only matchup

571
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: of the entire card. Yeah, and I I know the

572
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: Ravens loss to the Steelers is one they'd like to

573
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: have back again. What's what's the final number you see

574
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: on this game that you're working on.

575
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 5: You're working on two and a half minus Baltimore minus

576
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 5: two and a half.

577
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

578
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: Ay, though, you know what's crazy in that game is

579
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 5: that the Charges have the better kickoff. I think Justin

580
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: Tucker looks like he's done.

581
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, I don't know what the hell

582
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: happened to him. You're not wrong there, man, That's that's crazy.

583
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: He's got the yips, all right. Philadelphia and the Rams,

584
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: I know a ton of sharp money has come in

585
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: on Philadelphia. I believe they're laying three and they'll be

586
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: playing in the same stadium the next night.

587
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 5: Right. Everyone loves La, you know, Randy Newman, I love La.

588
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 5: It seems like the league does two that have made

589
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 5: La the center of the NFL universe this weekend.

590
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: I could not I could only look to Philadelphia. Here.

591
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: They're very quietly steamrolling teams and wearing them out in

592
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: four quarters. But I'm fire on that game.

593
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: There's two things about this game that I just stand

594
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 5: out to me. That Eagles defense is getting better by

595
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 5: the week with Vic Fangier running the operation like you

596
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 5: can see it. It's tangible. But the big thing for me,

597
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 5: and this is the first thing I look at, is

598
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 5: the offensive line, and that's where the Eagles do have

599
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 5: the advantage in this one. They're healthier at the offensive line,

600
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 5: and they're just better overall than the Rams. That's the Rams,

601
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 5: you know, that's kind of the downfall. They have everything else,

602
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 5: but the offensive line's been shaky. I love the Rams though.

603
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 5: I think they're a really good team. I love McVeigh.

604
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 5: He's a good coach. I like both these teams, and

605
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 5: so obviously i'd like the Rams to win because it

606
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 5: kind of keeps them in the thicket things. If they

607
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 5: lose that they're on the outside looking in. But yeah,

608
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 5: if I had to, it would be Filly or nothing,

609
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 5: just because of the offensive line. There's so much better.

610
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: Upfront, big time, and I think the Eagles have designs.

611
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: I'm making a run at the Lions to get the

612
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: number one seed, and they've won six games since their

613
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: bye week. But we'll see. It's a tough game to pick.

614
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: It's not an easy card this week. Finally, this game's

615
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: lost a lot of luster because no Brockferdy, no Joey Boso,

616
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: but San Francisco, you know, they'll lean on Christian McCaffrey

617
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: when they rush for one hundred and fifty yards or more.

618
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: Are they're thirty six and four against the spread, it

619
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: would not surprise me if San Francisco steals one in

620
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: Green Bay Sunday, even though they're going in with you know,

621
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: down two key players.

622
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 5: Your thoughts interesting, Okay, See, I'm on the complete opposite

623
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 5: side of that.

624
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: I be lying though I didn't bet the game.

625
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was one of my idd I always do

626
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 5: a preview of three games per week for shop Football,

627
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 5: and the Packers where my play. That was back when

628
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 5: it was I assume Brock Curdy was still playing, but

629
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: obviously things have changed. But I love this Packing team.

630
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: I'm extremely bullish on Green Bay. I mean, not that

631
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 5: anyone thinks they're a bad team, but I think they're

632
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: they're good team.

633
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: They're a good team.

634
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 5: They're the one team that can beat Detroit, and we

635
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: saw them going there last year and just beat the

636
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 5: snut out of Detroit. And the problem Green Bay is

637
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 5: they're very as you know, they're reckless. They played reckless,

638
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 5: but that makes them dangerous as well. It does get

639
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 5: them in trouble. But if they're on, if they're clicking,

640
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 5: I think their best is better than anyone else's best

641
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 5: in the NFL. I'm serious when I say that.

642
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: Now here's one thing denote. They have a young defense

643
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: with seven first round draft choices that is really coming

644
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: to its own in the last couple of years. I'm

645
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: sold on Jordan Love and when they blocked that kick

646
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 2: last week to beat the Bears for the eleventh straight time,

647
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: that's the kind of DNA a team expects to win.

648
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to get If you get him down,

649
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to kill him, is what I'm saying.

650
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 5: What the Packers haven't played a good game the whole seat.

651
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 5: They played one game that I can consider a complete game.

652
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 5: That was against Arizona. There's seven and three. It's a miracle,

653
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 5: that's seven and three. They haven't played one good game yet.

654
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not wrong, Joe. Great stuff, Good luck Sunday,

655
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: And as we get closer to the playoffs, definitely want

656
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: to get you back on because I think this is

657
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: going to be a tremendous tournament.

658
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 5: Keep up the great work, Joe, Good luck, Good luck Sunday.

659
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 2: Joe, Gibbs NFL restats coming up. Let's make some sense

660
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: on who the committee might want to think about when

661
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 2: it comes to reassembling the updated college football Playoff twelve

662
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: team rankings this Tuesday. I want to bring in strength

663
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: to schedule. You might be surprised at what you hear.

664
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Friddle. We're coming to live from the Las

665
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirerac dot com studio is keep

666
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: it Locker. Listening to the Bernie Friddle Show on Fox

667
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. All right, back on the Bernie Fraddle Show,

668
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, coming to you live from the Tarrack

669
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 2: dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Just getting started.

670
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 2: We'll take you up to three m Pacific, six am Eastern.

671
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 2: It did not take long after today's bloodbath, Saturday's blood

672
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: bath to project a new top twelve looks like this again,

673
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: it's a projection. We'll see what the ESPN crew does

674
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Oregon's still number one, They're the Big ten champion.

675
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 2: This are projections Texas number two, the SEC champion, Miami

676
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: number three, the a SEC champion, Boise State, checking in

677
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 2: and forth, the best group of five champion that would

678
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: leave the following matchups number twelve Arizona State versus number

679
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: five Ohio State, Number eleven SMU versus number six Pence State.

680
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: You see that all of a sudden, two ACC teams

681
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: are in there, number ten Tennessee versus number seven Notre Dame,

682
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 2: and then number nine Georgia, who now jumps into the

683
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: because of Texas A and M losing, they're automatically now

684
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: in the SEC championship game. So now when it comes

685
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: to the SEC, you got Texas, You've got Tennessee, and

686
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 2: you've got Georgia. Three SEC teams in the big ten.

687
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: You've got Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, and Indiana four.

688
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: Then Notre Dame and you've got two ACC teams, the

689
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: ACC champion Miami and SMU. And then of course that

690
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: leaves Notre Dame, which, barring well, I can't see them

691
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: losing the USC. Here's what I think needs to be

692
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: discussed more. Heading into today, Army, they were alive actually

693
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 2: for a playoff, one of the last remaining unbeaten teams.

694
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: But there's strength to schedule one hundred and thirty three Indiana.

695
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 2: And this was the heading into Indiana. Yes, first eleven

696
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 2: and zero start in program history, Indiana was the story

697
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 2: of college football, but the strength of schedule came into question,

698
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: and it showed up and showed out Saturday. You can't

699
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: argue Indiana strength to schedule one oh six UNLV they're

700
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 2: not dead. It looks like with Colorado State losing, you know,

701
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 2: he's got an outstanding chance to play Boise State for

702
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: the rights to be the best, they would play Boise State.

703
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: It looks like for the Montwist Conference championship, which if

704
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: you played here in Vegas, but they got to get

705
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: past Nevada next week. Their strength to schedule is only

706
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: one hundred an I'm standing here. They would have been

707
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: in a big time contention for a football playoff bid,

708
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: but they lost to Syracuse and Boise State. But they

709
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: jump back into the rankings and if they beat Boise State,

710
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: we'll see. Tulane was mentioned. Their strength to schedule was

711
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: ninety six SMU right now based on projections would be

712
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: in their strength to schedule is eighty six. Notre Dame

713
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 2: strength to schedule only eighty two Boise State seventy seven

714
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 2: Colorado who still has a path. We'll talk about it

715
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 2: more next week. Seventy four Iowa State strength to schedule

716
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: seventy two. Arizona State, who's caught fire. They're eight and two.

717
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 2: They've won sixty to the last seven, the nine to two.

718
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 2: Excuse me. Their strength to schedule is sixty seven. Miami's

719
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: is fifty fourth. BUYU, you can stick a four in

720
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 2: them fifty three. Guess whose strength is schedule is number one? Oregon,

721
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: Texas is third, Penn State's fourth. I think this matters.

722
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: It's not just you know what your schedule is, it's

723
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: who you be actually check out. I apologize. The strength

724
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: to schedule is Georgia owns the number one strength to schedule,

725
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: So you know, I think that gotta be in. I

726
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 2: don't know what they're gonna win the This is gonna

727
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 2: be an argument. Let's say Georgia loses in the SEC

728
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: Championship game. A three loss SEC team better because their

729
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: strength to schedule is number one and Indiana's is number one.

730
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 2: Oh six. Then I'll say a one loss Indiana team

731
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: South Carolina, there's strength to schedules eight? What if they

732
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: beat Clemson next week? Meanwhile, Oregon strength to schedule is

733
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: forty three, Texas is thirty eight, Penn State's thirty five.

734
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State's twenty eight. You get the picture. Some of

735
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: these teams. Not all records are created equal, and that's

736
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 2: what the committee is going to have to sort out Tuesday.

737
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: And I think today went a long way in ferreting

738
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: out what this new college football format is going to

739
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 2: look like. Teams handle pressure, others don't. All right, Coming up,

Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Medina Magic, we talk about the NBA. Keep

Speaker 2: Absolutely. I wasn't going to start with this, but I'm

762
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: going to The Lakers led by six Saturday night against Denver,

763
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: ended up losing by twenty five. The numbers don't look great. Well,

764
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: do you have a takeaway from this game? Because Denver's

765
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: righting the ship right now and I can't figure this

766
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: Laker team out even though they're ten and six.

767
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wow, that's inexplicable. I mean, the Lakers, to

768
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: your point, were up at the first half, and then

769
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: they got out to thirty seven to fifteen in the

770
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 3: third quarter, seventy to thirty nine in the second half.

771
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis did not have a good game, while Nikola

772
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 3: Jokic had a tremendous game. So I think on the surface,

773
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: you think, yeah, it's the same old story. The Denver

774
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 3: Nuggets have the Lakers numbers. They eliminated them in the

775
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen Western Conference Finals, same thing in the first

776
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 3: round last year, and there was always a sense that

777
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 3: games competitive and then once the second half hits, the

778
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 3: Nuggets do Nuggets things. But this season's been entirely different context.

779
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: The Lakers have been playing at a high level, but

780
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: much more consistent, much more organized with JJ Redick on

781
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: the Nuggets, on the other hand, they've been kind of

782
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 3: a hot mess. They've continued to lose their supporting cast

783
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: in free agency, Aaron Gordon's out with an injury. They've

784
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 3: been inconsistent all season. But you know, I guess the

785
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 3: clock can always strike correctly twice a day. And that's

786
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 3: what you saw with the Nuggets and Lakers, where it

787
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: reminded you of things in the past, even though that

788
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: things in the present have very much change for both teams.

789
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 2: Well, I looked at this at the stat lines, and

790
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers actually, you know, one the turnover battle had

791
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: more block shots, more steals, but they got out rebounded badly.

792
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: What do you attribute that to?

793
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very good question, something that JJ Reddick

794
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 3: was asked afterwards, And you know, I want to be surprised.

795
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 3: It's a mix of both scheme and effort. You know.

796
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 3: The reason why scheme is Nikoleokich is a bruising big guy.

797
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 3: The reason why its effort is that the Lakers have

798
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 3: more front court depth than the Nuggets right now because

799
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 3: they don't Aaron Gordon and so they have Anthony Davis

800
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 3: ruly action more finally came back and were missing the

801
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 3: last three games with an injury. They don't have Jackson

802
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: has and Christian Wood, but they have good perimeter death.

803
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 3: They have Lebron James. So this is a game where

804
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis just did not play well. I mean, he

805
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 3: had fourteen points, six to nineteen shooting and that is

806
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: uncharacteristic of this season where he's logging usually thirty point

807
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 3: type performances those things. Lebron James had six turnovers, so

808
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 3: it seemed a lot of it was just self inflicted wounds.

809
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 3: And again this is something that we saw against the

810
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 3: Nuggets in the past, previous playoff rounds, but nothing like

811
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 3: so far of the season.

812
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: Mark, let me ask you a quick question, because it

813
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: wasn't just Nikola jokicch Michael Porter had eleven rebounds, which

814
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 2: is the same amount as the other four starters outside

815
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: of Anthony Davis, Rue Cron, Cam British and Austin Reeves.

816
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: That's desire. The Lakers tired already? Are they tired? I

817
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: mean they did log in a lot of minutes.

818
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 3: Well, they very well could be. And there's always a

819
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 3: concern about Lebron James because he's going to be forty

820
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 3: December thirtieth. But I can't really accept that answer, Bernie.

821
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: The Denver Nuggets run a second night of a back

822
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 3: to back, and I know how the NBA is a

823
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: lot of people around the league always feel that when

824
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 3: you're talking about back to backs, the most difficult is

825
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 3: when you're traveling to are from Denver's right, because the

826
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 3: airport works really far and even though it's in the

827
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: West Coast, it's in mountain time. I mean, this is

828
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 3: a game that you would think it would be the

829
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets that would be having an energy, left effort

830
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 3: and going through the motions, and quite the opposite. Now. J. J.

831
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: Ruddick was saying something pregame that was interesting. He said,

832
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: from his playing experience, sometimes it can almost work the

833
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 3: opposite because you just feel like you're running adrenaline. You're

834
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 3: running on fumes and sometimes that's the extra push to

835
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 3: get you going. But I thought that this game, even

836
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 3: though it's the Nuggets and they have that history, it's

837
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: a national TV game, I thought the script would have

838
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 3: been flipped where it the Lakers running like an well

839
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: oiled machine and the Nuggets being lethargic, and it was

840
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 3: the opposite.

841
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: Well before the season. I don't know what they hell

842
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: hot take means. It's an overused tournament sports, but I

843
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: will say this, I can't lie. Before the season, I

844
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 2: said it will not surprise me if the Lakers missed

845
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and I mean that now they should. But

846
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: the more I look at this crowded West where one

847
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: game in the lost column currently separates the third seed

848
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 2: from the ten seed, they're looking to me, Mark Lake,

849
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: They're on their way to being a playing team again.

850
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: Your final thoughts on.

851
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 3: The Lakers, Yeah, I think that I'm going to respectfully

852
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 3: disagree here. I'm not putting the Lakers at championship contending status,

853
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: but I will give the Lakers some grace in the

854
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: sense that they lost two games in a row, and

855
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 3: we dissected the Nuggets lost pretty well the magic Vron

856
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 3: Fondner had a go ahead game winner Anthony Davis missed him.

857
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 3: Gimme free throws. Butter than that, the Lakers could have

858
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: won that. Before that, they had once games in a

859
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 3: row because Ad and Lebron playing at a high level.

860
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick doing some good things as far as how

861
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 3: he's managing rotations. That's not to say the Lakers aren't vulnerable. Obviously,

862
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 3: you do wonder because where Lebron's at at the stage

863
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 3: of his career eighties injury history, can they be healthy

864
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: through the whole season. They're supporting cast that has depth

865
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: without consistency. But I think based of what I've seen

866
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 3: this first full month, they're a team that can get

867
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 3: to the playoffs without the plan, but they're ceilings probably

868
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 3: second round or first round. I don't think right now,

869
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 3: even with the two games they lose, it means they're

870
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 3: in the plan or they could miss the playoffs. But yeah,

871
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 3: as far as they're strong start, they're not championship contending status.

872
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 3: That belongs to the Oklahoma City Thunder and surprisingly Bernie

873
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 3: even the Golden State words. I mean, they defied my expectations.

874
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: That's a team I did not think would be in

875
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 3: that run. I thought that they would just be part

876
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 3: of the convo because of Steph Curry and Draymond Green,

877
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 3: but it would be they would have their own inconsistency.

878
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: But so far, so good, and they've actually been better

879
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 3: with al koy Thompson.

880
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 2: I agree, all right. Last year the NBA Cup was

881
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 2: a resounding success. There's just no question about every metric

882
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: I've talked about it. This year, I'm here in whispers

883
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: and twos and threes. It feels like they've been a

884
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 2: little handhanded in the way they're promoting it. Did the commercials,

885
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 2: did the goofiness the celebrities and the commercials? Is it

886
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 2: being force fed a little bit? Is the bloom coming

887
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: off the roads in the NBA Cup? Because nobody I

888
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: have talked to believes that winning this thing really has

889
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 2: any significance, And it feels like it's manufactured your thoughts.

890
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think the competition's good. Even though you

891
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: know these players make a lot of money. They like

892
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 3: it making even more money five hundred K. And I

893
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 3: think the bigger thing is not so much the star players.

894
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 3: It's the end of the rotation guys, because that money

895
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 3: has real consequences and real benefits. But I think in

896
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 3: fairness way you're and the novelties and the curiosity isn't

897
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 3: the same as it was last year. But I still

898
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 3: think there's a buy and I still think there's an Injurgue.

899
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 3: One thing that they got to change are these courts.

900
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel so blinded. I feel like I

901
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 3: need to look and get an appointment here to see

902
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 3: if my prescription needs to get updated. Here.

903
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: I got the same affliction Mark Horts.

904
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 3: I mean, it's bright, the colors are crazy, and.

905
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: He complain about that.

906
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 3: Yes, and yeah, thankfully my eyesight it's good. And I'm

907
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 3: being a little facetious, but I'm being serious where it's

908
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 3: just an eyesore and it's about the competition, it's about

909
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 3: the game.

910
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: No. I've heard that as one of the many complaints

911
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 2: where everything's just kind of extra. Everything's a little extra.

912
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 2: You know. It's like the dude who walks out of

913
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 2: the elevator with like five pounds of hig karate colonna. Okay,

914
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: we get it, dude, you kind of defeated your own purpose. Man,

915
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 2: you're killing everybody telling me, all right, you like that?

916
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 2: All right, I want to talk about that yeah, oh

917
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: you do, dog, I got a good act. The NBA

918
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 2: All Star Game. This is a topic you and I

919
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 2: have bandied about for years, and now I understand the

920
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: NBA is in serious discussions regarding this new tournament style

921
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 2: format for the twenty twenty five All Star Game. Here's

922
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 2: where it completely falls to the ground to me, the

923
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 2: NBA mark has made it abundantly clear they don't want

924
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 2: to compete. They don't want to take a chance and

925
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 2: blow an ankle. There's not going to be a USA

926
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: versus World games. They don't want to. So since no

927
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 2: one gives a damn about the All Star Game, much

928
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: the same way about the Pro Bowl in the NBA,

929
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: why doesn't the NBA just pull their head out of

930
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: their took us and cancel the All Star Game? And

931
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: I'm not being facetious. They don't want to compete, so

932
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: you can create these All Star teams and the winner

933
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 2: of the Rising Stars Game and all that. They don't

934
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 2: want to compete at the.

935
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 3: Floor, Well, Bernie, I think you know the answer to

936
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 3: but you're afraid to receive it. You know why they're

937
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 3: the money scrap it because exactly, okay.

938
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: Okay, you scrapped the game. But how about this for

939
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: an idea, how about a three day Bronnie James showcase

940
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: day whoa day one he can face off against Caitlin

941
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 2: Clark into three point.

942
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: On shoots tournament lebron and Bronny. I mean, I think

943
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 3: that would solve all the also week on issues.

944
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 2: So they don't want to compete though you don't want

945
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 2: to compete. How about Caitlin Clark versus Bronnie James in

946
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: a three point shooting contest. You think people would watched that?

947
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 3: People would watch that. I think it's all seriousness here,

948
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: heart attack.

949
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't see.

950
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 3: That Steph Curry three point shooting contest. I mean that

951
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 3: was that was the one thing that was great last

952
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 3: year when Stephit Sabrina went out of that thing is

953
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 3: great and that is going to continue.

954
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 2: I think your honor, you're your honor permission to treat

955
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 2: the witnesses hostile. You're you're evading the browny athmet for this.

956
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: He kept telling us, Yeah, the Ronnie concept, that would

957
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 3: make it even worse than they all sarg oh.

958
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 2: I think it'd be so it'd be awesome. They could

959
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 2: charge ninety nine to ninety nine pay per view and

960
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 2: I'd pay for it right now. Oh my listen, I

961
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: saw a status lad. They keep telling us he's an

962
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: NBA player, just needs to develop, you know. And I'll

963
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: get off this in a second, but I got to

964
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: get this off my chest, you know, Mark. There are

965
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 2: currently sixty NBA players that are on two way contracts,

966
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 2: Bronnie being one of them. In terms of offensive production

967
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 2: the various metrics points. I think Bronni's shooting like sixteen percent,

968
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: whatever the case. He ranks fifty ninth out of sixty.

969
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 2: The sixtieth kid I can't pronounce his name. He was

970
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 2: drafted three spots after Bronnie. He came out of the

971
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 2: NBA Africa Development program. Bronnie's ahead of him.

972
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: Anyway, go ahead, We're talking about the Lakers issues with

973
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 3: the Nuggets. You know, wonder what if if he got

974
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 3: some minutes maybe the Lakers energy? What if you catch

975
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 3: it up much? Okay? In all seriousness that that All

976
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 3: Star weekend, we're talking about the game itself.

977
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: I hang.

978
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 3: In the short term, we have seen when they've done

979
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 3: some of these, you know, new ideas to create competition

980
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 3: or excitement. It has worked. The only problem is it

981
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 3: only works for a few years like the Ending Eon

982
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 3: Ending where you had to you know, reach a target score.

983
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 3: That made for some competitive basketball, but it wasn't long lasting.

984
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 3: And last year we saw the All Star Game being

985
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 3: at its worst where there was no defense at all.

986
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 3: And So to your point here about this proposal that's

987
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 3: being a float around of having a Torment style format,

988
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 3: I think for this year it could work because it's

989
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 3: new and players you know, are very well or the

990
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 3: criticism last year where I was embarrassing. But I think

991
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 3: the broader point that I'm making here is that structurally

992
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 3: it's broken and it's not going to change unless the

993
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 3: players actually care. Now, the players will say, look, we

994
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 3: have all these sponsorship events, these long player intro productions.

995
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: You know, the NBA doesn't care about the game either.

996
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 3: They care about the money.

997
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 5: But I think.

998
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 3: Upset the tone here. Number one. Number two, I think

999
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 3: the way the NBA can help beyond maybe you know,

1000
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 3: not having the player intro intros, be as long as

1001
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 3: a quarter is changed the crowd so that the ticket

1002
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: prices are lower. Maybe give some donations to the local

1003
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 3: boys and Girls club so that there's a real atmosphere.

1004
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 3: Look like, I'm not going to propose that as a

1005
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 3: solution for NBA regular season games or playoff games, like

1006
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 3: it is a business, but when you're looking at All

1007
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 3: Star games, like that's one thing that's a sacrifice that

1008
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 3: can be made. And I think that improved environment where

1009
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 3: you know, it's not the corporate crowd, it's you know,

1010
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 3: people who probably one have been able to go to

1011
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 3: a game otherwise. There's an excitement with that that could

1012
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 3: pump up some more interests. But again, it starts with

1013
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 3: the players. They always step the tone with everything, and

1014
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 3: I don't think any of these proposals can ever lead

1015
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 3: to long lasting changes because the crux of the problem,

1016
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 3: as to what you're saying, they just don't care about

1017
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 3: it as much anymore. And it's sad because they get

1018
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 3: paid a lot of money and their competitive juices should

1019
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 3: start flowing because that's what they're paid to do. Well.

1020
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 2: There was a time when the NBA All Star Game

1021
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: was nothing short of phenomenal. I was at the All

1022
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 2: Star Game at the Forum in eighty three. It was

1023
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 2: a couple of years after I finished up my internship there.

1024
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 2: Juliet Serving was the MVP. It was a real basketball game.

1025
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: I mean it was fantastic to see that much talent.

1026
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 2: I know we're never going back to that, and I

1027
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 2: also know Mark, You're right, it's all about the money.

1028
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: So it's about maybe finding creative ways to put eyes

1029
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 2: on the NBA and generate the revenue they want without

1030
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 2: having to make a suffer through this charade. Fagazy that's

1031
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 2: been the All Star Game in the last few years,

1032
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 2: where it's a dunk layup line. It's it's really not

1033
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: funny anymore. Yeah, it's not funny anymore.

1034
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 3: And to be clear to some of the listeners who

1035
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 3: might be thinking that we're going on a soapbox about,

1036
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 3: you know, back in the day, how much things are better,

1037
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that the players should be expected to

1038
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 3: give games, have an intensity, or play through an injury

1039
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 3: that could, you know, compromise their availability the second half

1040
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 3: the season. It's just about competing and trying to put

1041
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 3: on a fun show for the fans.

1042
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 2: That's it. It's an entertainment medium. Yeah, I mean they're

1043
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 2: making more money than ever. I don't care make all

1044
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 2: the money you want. I when I see people making

1045
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 2: a lot of money, I see that those are the

1046
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: possibilities we have. I'm like all right, let's move along.

1047
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: Zion was really in the news this week. He fires

1048
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: his agent my understanding, but he's pulled a hammy on

1049
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: November sixth, and now they're talking about he may not

1050
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 2: even be back to late December. I love Zion. I

1051
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,439
Speaker 2: was here when he made his debut in the Summer League.

1052
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

1053
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: He is every bit the phenomenal basketball player. But I'm

1054
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 2: starting to during this conclusion mark and his height and weight,

1055
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 2: having missed like two hundred and six games out of

1056
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 2: four hundred in his career. Uh, God didn't make a

1057
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 2: body like that to play NBA basketball. And there's got

1058
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 2: to be some kind of come uppings here eventually, because

1059
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna come to six weeks or with a pulled hamstring.

1060
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 2: Can you take me behind the curtain? Was what's happening there?

1061
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it just seems like the same old

1062
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 3: story with his Ion Williams. And I mean when you

1063
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 3: talk to the Pelicans, it's always they've been saying, basically

1064
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 3: since his rookie season, always said he well I talked

1065
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 3: to that. Yeah, it conditionings to get better. But he's

1066
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 3: he's about the right things. He's coachable, he's willing to

1067
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 3: listen to the training staff, it's just about improving his

1068
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 3: body mechanics. But even though every year they always say

1069
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 3: there's improvement, it's not quite enough. And again this goes

1070
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 3: back to Bill bart Parcell's old quote, the best ability

1071
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 3: of ability as availability. Zion hasn't done that whether and

1072
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm not discounting how unique of Mettalon he is, how

1073
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 3: great of a versatile playmaker he is. And when you

1074
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 3: talk to people behind the scenes of the Pelicans, they

1075
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 3: do say he's coachable and he's a good teammate, but

1076
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 3: you just can't count on him ever to be available.

1077
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 3: And this is really tough for the Pelicans because they've

1078
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 3: been dealing with so many other injuries with the Jon

1079
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 3: Say Murray and Sij McCollum and Herb Jones, Shrey Murphy,

1080
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 3: the third Ose Alvarado, Like really the only notable player

1081
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 3: that's available right now is Brandon Ingram And you know,

1082
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 3: in related is there four and thirteen. They've lost four

1083
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 3: straight to their last eleven games. And this is a

1084
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 3: team that was expected to be part of that tough

1085
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 3: Wow Wow West of teams that could make the playoffs,

1086
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 3: you know, and make some noise. And because of all this.

1087
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 3: It's the same old story, and I think it's got

1088
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 3: to the point that they can't depend on, you know,

1089
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 3: another off season of revamped, you know, work on his body.

1090
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 3: It is what it is, and with that, I would

1091
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 3: cut my losses moving forward.

1092
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's a shame last thing for me. Speaking

1093
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 2: of availability, the good news is Philadelphia stopped their six

1094
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 2: game losing streak to beat Brooklyn. The other news is

1095
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 2: guess who's out again now, Julian Biid and they're swelling

1096
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 2: is in his knee. There wouldn't be swelling unless there's

1097
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 2: some sort of injury. What do you know about that?

1098
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 2: Because this is not looking good. This this season is

1099
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 2: going to go right down the toilet for these guys.

1100
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it isn't looking good because you know, this

1101
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 3: is the same need that he's been dealing with, you know,

1102
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 3: to open the season. And I think that this illustrates

1103
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 3: kind of the fallacy that the Sixers are talking about,

1104
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 3: you know, when they're in LA and you know earlier

1105
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 3: in the season that they felt like, hey, things are

1106
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 3: going to be fine once show em beat is back,

1107
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 3: once Paul George is back, you know, they'll be able

1108
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 3: to make up ground and it's a lot of ground

1109
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 3: to cover. But two, just because either of those players

1110
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,439
Speaker 3: or both of those players are back, you can't think

1111
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 3: that they're going to be available through the rest of

1112
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 3: the season because they've had extensive injury histories that suggests otherwise.

1113
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 3: So you know, the Sixers are a very precarious u

1114
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 3: situation here because I don't think they can make a move.

1115
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 3: They put all their chips in for the roster that

1116
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 3: they have, and to a man, they have a good team.

1117
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 3: It's just that one. You know, Joel Embiid and Paul

1118
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 3: George haven't shown they can be consistently healthy. Kyrie s

1119
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 3: Maxi also hasn't been healthy, but when he's come back,

1120
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 3: he's been usually durable, but he hasn't shown he can

1121
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 3: be a number one guy when the other two stars

1122
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,439
Speaker 3: are out. And three, they do have good roster depth,

1123
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 3: but it's good players, not great players, and so I

1124
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 3: don't think they have an ability to absorb the absences

1125
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 3: of any of those big three players, you know, all

1126
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 3: at once or overlapping. So you know, I know it

1127
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 3: is early, but because of how poor of a start

1128
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 3: they got off, you can't help but think that they're

1129
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 3: going to be trying to make up ground for the

1130
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 3: rest of the season. At some point it'll be too little,

1131
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:10,439
Speaker 3: too late.

1132
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,439
Speaker 2: Look, it's just bad luck. You brought up a great

1133
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 2: point about the roster. Can you imagine if you had

1134
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 2: a healthy Tyre Smacksy, Paul George, and Jewel Embiid for

1135
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 2: say seventy two games each for entire season? That yeah,

1136
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean conference.

1137
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 3: Final, they would be a team that could challenge Boston.

1138
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 3: That was the feeling I got when I talked to

1139
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 3: people around the league before the season. You know, everyone

1140
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 3: chose Boston as a team to be in the East,

1141
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 3: but a lot of people were either choosing Philadelphia or Cleveland.

1142
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 3: Now Cleveland is allowed to extene expectations that Kenny Atkinson

1143
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 3: has had a huge impact from the group. But with

1144
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 3: Philadelphia there was no question marks about can the fit work,

1145
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 3: How do Paul George and Joelbee coexist? How about Tyree

1146
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 3: Smacks who being the third guy. Everyone that I talked to,

1147
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 3: you know, assistant coaches and gms around the league, they

1148
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 3: all thought actions and those, it's great, it's just can

1149
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 3: they stay healthy? Well, unfortunately they already answered that question

1150
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 3: and it's no.

1151
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta let you fly. But I'll leave you

1152
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 2: with this thought. That trio of Maxi, George and Embiid

1153
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 2: they've played a total of six minutes together the entire season,

1154
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: and ironically it was all in the same game against

1155
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 2: Memphis and they lost. Mark already looking forward to next Saturday.

1156
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 3: Night, Bud, looking forward to then Mark.

01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 2: We are coming touly from the Tarak dot com studios

1170
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. We are nine and a half

1171
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 2: hours away from the resumption of NFL week twelve, and

1172
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 2: now it's panic time for lots of fans and lots

1173
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 2: of cities, starting in Cincinnati. I was wrong about Cincinnati.

1174
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 2: I thought they'd be a perhaps at least an AFC

1175
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Conference championship game team, Joe Burrows having one of his

1176
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 2: great years, and I think the Bengals are cursed. I

1177
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell's going on. And if you

1178
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: watch them play against the Chargers last week, they melted

1179
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 2: down the last two minutes. For the first half, they

1180
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 2: looked like the one of the worst teams in football,

1181
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 2: then the best team in the second half, and you know,

1182
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 2: they take the game. They tied up at twenty seven,

1183
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 2: and now they find themselves. They lose thirty four to

1184
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Of the Chargers the Bengals do. Now they're

1185
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: four and seven and one of the most difficult divisions

1186
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 2: in football. So the rest of the schedule isn't monumental,

1187
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 2: but they're gonna have to run the table now to

1188
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 2: go ten and seven. They got it in them. I

1189
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 2: covered a Lions team that actually did that in the

1190
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 2: nineties and they got the quarterback to do it. And

1191
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 2: so the reason I say I wouldn't write off Cincinnati

1192
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 2: yet even though it is very much time to panic.

1193
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 2: If you're a Bengals fan, you might want to, you know,

1194
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 2: have a few extra hue Pole beers to dull the pain.

1195
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 2: At least the Bengals aren't the Jets. And I railed

1196
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 2: on the Jets pretty badly last night, and I stick

1197
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 2: to my guns, but I won't personalize it tonight. You know,

1198
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 2: as long as there's no more you know, hiahuasca and

1199
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: hanging out in dark rooms and going to Egypt by

1200
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 2: everybody else, I'm sorry, man, that doesn't fly with me.

1201
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Unless you produce, then it's all good, right, But if

1202
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: you don't produce, you know, Brett Favre, this could be

1203
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 2: a topic for me next week. I think Aaron Rodgers'

1204
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 2: legacy is going to take a hit, big hit, because

1205
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 2: if you look at other quarterbacks in their twilight, like

1206
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 2: a Bread who went to the Jets, got him to

1207
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs, then he went to Minnesota and almost got

1208
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 2: him to darn Super Bowl. He had a swan song.

1209
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 2: Joe Montana back in the day left the forty nine

1210
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 2: ers of all in very unceremonious fashion to pave a

1211
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 2: way for Steve Young went to the Chiefs got him

1212
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 2: to the playoffs a couple of times. They were good teams. Obviously,

1213
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 2: Tom Brady went to a second team won a Super Bowl.

1214
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 2: So quarterbacks have moved before, but this epic failed that

1215
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: they're presiding over with the Jets. They're now three and eight.

1216
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 2: They get out dueled by Anthony Richardson. Then the five

1217
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 2: and six Colts twenty eight to twenty seven, same story again.

1218
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 2: The team has talent across the board on paper, can't

1219
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 2: buy a win, and we found out that week four

1220
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 2: the owner wanted Aaron Rodgers benched. Tyra Taylor is a

1221
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 2: good quarterback. He's a fishing I mean, are you serious

1222
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 2: about winning or are you just serious about saving people's feelings?

1223
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 2: Or what I mean? What do you don't think there's

1224
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 2: any guarantee Rodgers's back next season? So the Jets are

1225
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 2: a mess. The Bengals are not the Jets. I can't

1226
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 2: even though they've only won one more game. It's a

1227
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 2: damna thing about this year in the NFL. Bad vibes

1228
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 2: in Chicago. You better panic. There was a once promising season.

1229
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 2: You had the number one overall draft pick, and now

1230
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 2: that's sinking like an anvilain a bugs bunny cartoon, including

1231
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: the twenty nineteen disaster against Green Bay, who's now seven

1232
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 2: to three. Bears four game losing streak has now turned

1233
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 2: at once promising four and two season into a four

1234
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 2: and six season, block losses, maddening defeats by a thumbnail

1235
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 2: block kicks, I would say, and I don't like to

1236
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 2: do this, but I would say Matt Eberflus is in

1237
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 2: big trouble. Heading in the next year, Caleb Williams showed

1238
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 2: some progress, but it's all for not thanks to the

1239
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 2: blockfield goal, Bears have now lost eleven straight to the Packers.

1240
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 2: There is uncertainty in the NFC South. You can worry

1241
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 2: a little bit here after year. This division is kind

1242
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 2: of confounding because it's, well, the Lions are great, but

1243
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 2: through the years it's actually been even though the records

1244
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 2: have been gaudy and haven for mediocrity. I remember Dan

1245
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 2: Byer and I were doing a Sunday show back in

1246
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two when the Vikings had that gaudy record,

1247
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 2: but in the pythagoream theorem, I mean they'd actually given

1248
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 2: up one more point that they'd scored, and even though

1249
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 2: they won seven one score games and they were like

1250
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 2: ten and two. We called them out when Viking fans

1251
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 2: came after us like a mad, mad mob. Well when

1252
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 2: they got to come up, it's Gets who went in

1253
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 2: there and beat them Daniel Jones in the playoffs. So

1254
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: you know it's the NFC South is very confounding. You

1255
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 2: talk about mediocrity. The Saints have already fired their coach.

1256
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 2: Wouldn't write them off just yet, but you know they've

1257
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 2: won two straight. Certainly, they certainly took care of the

1258
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 2: Browns by three touchdowns last week. They're only two games

1259
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 2: behind Atlanta, and you really have faith in Atlanta. So

1260
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 2: this is an interesting division. The Falcons, they were once

1261
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 2: shoe wins for the division crown. They got wallat by

1262
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 2: bow Knicks last week thirty eight to six. They've now

1263
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 2: lost too straight and so I don't you know, Bill

1264
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 2: par Sills once said you are what your record says

1265
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 2: you are. The Bucks are five and five, and I

1266
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 2: think you throw that division into a blender and somebody's

1267
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 2: gonna get hot, win three or four in a row

1268
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 2: in a couple divisional games in a row, and they

1269
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 2: might sneak in. So Darren Rizzy guy is he's a

1270
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 2: piece of work. But if they win, they win. Kind

1271
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 2: of remember Tony Sperano got arrest his soul. He used

1272
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 2: to weark sunglasses on the sidelines. Okay, I'm all over

1273
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 2: the map. Now. I'll tell you who doesn't have anything

1274
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 2: to worry about, at least in terms of being in

1275
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs. The Lions, Bills, and Steelers. Okay, nine to one.

1276
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 2: Detroit is the best team in the NFL right now,

1277
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 2: no argument. They are the odds that I'm favored here

1278
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas to now win the Super Bowl. They

1279
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 2: took care of Jacksonville last week fifty two to six.

1280
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 2: I mean the week before if Jared Goff threw five

1281
01:07:55,840 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 2: picks and they still won. This team is awesome. An

1282
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 2: four last week, four hundred and twelve yards, four touchdowns,

1283
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 2: and they gave Jacksonvilleer their worst loss in franchise history.

1284
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 2: Who's the second and third best teams in the NFL?

1285
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 2: I think the Bills and Chiefs are neck and neck,

1286
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 2: all right. The Bills handed the Chiefs their first loss

1287
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 2: of the season, incredible thirty to twenty one Buffalo win.

1288
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 2: Josh Allen was awesome, and I think they're headed on

1289
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 2: a collision course to meet again. In the playoffs. But

1290
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 2: you know, there are two teams that I believe will

1291
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 2: certainly make the playoffs, and they're trying to stop that outcome.

1292
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 2: Baltimore gets a little too much love for me. I mean,

1293
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 2: they are seven and four, but I don't envision a

1294
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 2: n AFC playoff chase without Baltimore, ignor with Pittsburgh and

1295
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 2: the Steelers. I know they're eight and three now. They

1296
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 2: followed up that eighteen sixteen victory over the Ravens, you know,

1297
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 2: with not a good looking, in artful loss Thursday night

1298
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 2: to Cleveland, which I think talked about on my show.

1299
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 2: But if you're Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Kansas City, Buffalo, or Detroit,

1300
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 2: you can pretty much make plans, I believe, barring you know,

1301
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 2: one of these teams has like a breakout of malaria

1302
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 2: or something and they can't play anymore. But other than that,

1303
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 2: but as far as the Bengals, Jets and Bears meh,

1304
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 2: and the NFC South, someone's got to emerge. Right. We've

1305
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: seen a seven to nine team playoffs make the playoffs

1306
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 2: before they played seventeen games. Now I saw that, you know,

1307
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 2: Beast Mode and Marshawn Lynch had that infamous game, I

1308
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 2: mean acredible game in Seattle many years ago, and they

1309
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,560
Speaker 2: they ended the playoffs seven and nine. So look, the

1310
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 2: NFL continues to be, continues to be, you know, the

1311
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 2: the what do they say, they're not for long league,

1312
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 2: But there are certain teams with certain DNAs and a

1313
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 2: little later in the show, there's more than one way

1314
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 2: to skin a cat. Okay, it's amazing how these teams

1315
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: find a way to win, all right. The Chiefs of

1316
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 2: the True odd Ball their eight to one record last

1317
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 2: nine games. They even trailed by a touchdown at one

1318
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 2: point that finally got a loss on Sunday. But they've

1319
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 2: been doing it in ways that are really really kind

1320
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 2: of unconventional, but they're doing it. And if you compare,

1321
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 2: it's funny because quarterback play is so important in the

1322
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 2: National Football League, And through ten games, the Chiefs were undefeated,

1323
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 2: and if you compare the last time a team, Tom

1324
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,520
Speaker 2: Brady's Patriots did that seven But through those ten games,

1325
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 2: Brady'd thrown for over thirty one hundred yards, Mahome had

1326
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 2: only thrown for twenty two hundred yards. Brady was completing

1327
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of his passes. Mahomes sixty five. Here's

1328
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 2: the kicker prior to last Sunday, Patrick Mahomes only twelve

1329
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 2: touchdowns and nine interceptions. Brady in that same ten game

1330
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 2: stretch and seven thirty eight touchdowns and four interceptions. But

1331
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have a superb defense, a great coach, and

1332
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:00,759
Speaker 2: they've got the DNA, and so this is an interesting season.

1333
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 2: So coming up a little later, we'll talk about who's

1334
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 2: trending up, who's trending down in the NFL, and how

1335
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 2: the contenders are doing it. Okay, the Eagles, they have

1336
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 2: some odd stats, the Vikings, the Ravens, the Commanders that

1337
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 2: kind of defy logic, but they still find a way

1338
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 2: to win. Coming up, we'll talk about some of the

1339
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:27,839
Speaker 2: interesting tidbits factoids trending as we head into Week twelve.

1340
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 2: And believe it or not, the Texans and they host Houston.

1341
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 2: Check that they host Tennessee. I digress Tennessee's to be

1342
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,839
Speaker 2: in Houston. They were the Oilers. They host Tennessee Sunday

1343
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 2: and they're laying about seven and a half points. What

1344
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 2: if I told you the Texans are only one and

1345
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 2: six against the spread in their last seven division home games.

1346
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean they're gonna win, They're gonna lose, but well,

1347
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 2: I've been burned on Tennessee too many times. They won't

1348
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 2: get any of my money. But we'll talk about some

1349
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 2: of the interesting factoids. Heading into Week twelve our thanks

Speaker 2: if the NFL playoffs started today, these would be the

1371
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 2: seeds and these would be them pairings. And I know

1372
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,600
Speaker 2: it's going to change, but the show is today, So

1373
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 2: let's deal with today. In the AFC, obviously the Chiefs,

1374
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 2: you're number one seed that'd have a buye, followed by Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Houston,

1375
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 2: the Chargers, the Ravens, and the Broncos. Broncos. How about

1376
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 2: those Broncos. So if the playoffs started today, that triple header,

1377
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 2: the Chargers would visit the Texans, the Ravens would visit

1378
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 2: the Steelers, and the Broncos would be hosted by Buffalo.

1379
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 2: In the NFC, the Lions, obviously at nine to one,

1380
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 2: they would be they would have a buy in the

1381
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 2: opening round of the playoffs. The Eagles are the second seed.

1382
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 2: Currently they're eight and two, and again these can change. Arizona,

1383
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 2: we talked about them being plucky, believe it or not.

1384
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 2: At six and four, they are the number three because

1385
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: they're the leader in the clubhouse right now. In the

1386
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 2: AFC West, Atlanta's fourth that certainly could change, Minnesota, Green Bay,

1387
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,879
Speaker 2: and Washington. You'll notice three to four NFC North teams

1388
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 2: would be in the playoffs the first round pairings the

1389
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 2: wild card round. The fifth seed Vikings would visit Atlanta,

1390
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 2: the sixth seed Packers would visit Arizona. And for now,

1391
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 2: although I think this team's going to have a come up,

1392
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 2: it's I could be wrong. The number seven Commanders would

1393
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 2: have to travel to Philadelphia, and Philadelphia has really started

1394
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 2: to assert themselves if Nick Siana doesn't get in the way,

1395
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 2: you know. So let's see. I think sunny Monday night

1396
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 2: against the Rams is going to be I think a

1397
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 2: good acid test for both teams. I can't see Philadelphia

1398
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,600
Speaker 2: not going in there and taking care of business, but

1399
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 2: we'll see. So what's trending hitting into week twelve? The

1400
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: lovable Carolina Panthers, believe it or not, they've losed their

1401
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 2: They're losing by an average of twenty two points against

1402
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 2: teams who currently have a winning record, and guess who

1403
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 2: they have. Later today, the Chiefs. Chiefs are laying ten

1404
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 2: and a half on the road in Carolina. The Niners

1405
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 2: now take this one with a grand assault because they

1406
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,719
Speaker 2: don't have their quarterback brought party. They're starting Brandon Allen

1407
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 2: and they don't have Joey Bolso and that affects their

1408
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 2: pass rush quite a bit. But nine and three against

1409
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,719
Speaker 2: the spread as underdogs over the last five years, winning

1410
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 2: seven of those games outright, But again, grand assault, Green

1411
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 2: Bay is going to be a a tough task On Sunday.

1412
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins, look out here, they come all right.

1413
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 2: They're eight and three against the number as favorites of

1414
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,679
Speaker 2: more than seven points as long as Tua is starting

1415
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 2: the game. How about the Arizona Cardinals, Well, they're two

1416
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 2: and twelve against the spread after they allow seven or

1417
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,719
Speaker 2: fewer points. Where am I going with that? They played

1418
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 2: a great game last week they allowed fewer than seven.

1419
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 2: Now they head to Seattle, and Seattle's weird. I want

1420
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 2: nothing to do with them. When I get on them, Gino,

1421
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, turns into the geno that we all know

1422
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 2: and love. And when I fade them, Gino turns into

1423
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 2: the geno you all know and love. It didn't work

1424
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 2: for me, so I don't you know, I kind of

1425
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 2: pay attention to what happens in life. I don't want

1426
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 2: to putt I don't puff from the rough. If you

1427
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 2: get my drift, I'm not looking to make things more difficult.

1428
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 2: The Texans one in six against the spread and their

1429
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 2: last seven divisional home games. Now, I will tell you.

1430
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 2: I will tell you this is a sharp play by

1431
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 2: the Sharps, grabbing Tennessee in the points. The Texans, oddly enough,

1432
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,679
Speaker 2: coming off that Monday night game. For whatever reason, they've

1433
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 2: only won one of their last five against the spread

1434
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 2: and post Monday night performances. And interestingly enough, now Tennessee

1435
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: has burned me. I'm very selective on who I bet.

1436
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 2: I don't spray the board Tennessee. Though, It's worth noting

1437
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 2: that even though they struggle mightily this season, they owned

1438
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,919
Speaker 2: the teams, they owned the league's second ranked overall defense.

1439
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 2: So if you own the second ranked overall defense and

1440
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 2: you're getting seven and a half, you look to take points,

1441
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 2: all right. But you know, and the Texans looked really

1442
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 2: impressive against the Cowboys last week, but that offense maybe

1443
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 2: a bit of a fall sense of security going in

1444
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,680
Speaker 2: that Dallas defense. And by the way, the Texans gave

1445
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 2: up three hundred and eighty eight yards last week to

1446
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, so you can't you ignore that as well.

1447
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 2: Harbaugh Jim Harbaugh. I don't know again if this correlates,

1448
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 2: but the Chargers over the last eleven times they've played

1449
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 2: Cincinnati the following week, they're ten and one against the spread.

1450
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,719
Speaker 2: That to me is one of those odd ball trends

1451
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 2: that doesn't have a lot of context in my view.

1452
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 2: This one does. The Commanders are zering five against the

1453
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 2: spread as double digit favorites. You might be paying a

1454
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels tax here, and I don't know if that's

1455
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: such a smart idea. Now. I give a lot of

1456
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 2: credit to what dan Quinn and the and the Cowboys

1457
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 2: check that the Commanders have done. And of course they're

1458
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 2: playing Dallas, right but Cooper Rush, Look, Dallas will started

1459
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 2: playing with pride at some point. You know, the books

1460
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 2: are gonna need him. I'm not grabbing them just yet,

1461
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 2: but they're due to cover one and it could be Sunday.

1462
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 2: It could be Sunday. The New York Giants another offense

1463
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 2: they couldn't, you know, score with the fifty to fifties

1464
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 2: and the Couselville repute. They're two and twenty two to

1465
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 2: the under as a home dog of six or fewer

1466
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 2: points that correlates the Giants. I look, I expect them

1467
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 2: to struggle, but it just didn't work out with Daniel Jones.

1468
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,719
Speaker 2: They host Tampa Bay. I expect Tampa Bay to actually

1469
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 2: win that game, and points might be a premium. And

1470
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 2: weather started to be a factor in some of these

1471
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 2: November games. So that's something you've also got to be

1472
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 2: a pay attention to do. All Right. I talked about

1473
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 2: how some of these contenders are winning. There's more than

1474
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 2: one way to skin a cat. And when I share

1475
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 2: with you what some of the good teams with good

1476
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,440
Speaker 2: records are doing in spite of some of their peccadillos,

1477
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 2: you might get a kick out of it. Keep it locked.

Speaker 2: see the show posted right after we get off the air.

1494
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:12,879
Speaker 2: All right, I mentioned you know there are some teams

1495
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 2: that just managed to find a way to win and

1496
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 2: some teams that don't. And it's a cultural thing, it's

1497
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 2: a DNA thing. The teams repeat success over the years

1498
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 2: and sometimes there's not always a linear reason, and sometimes

1499
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:29,839
Speaker 2: there is. I know that after Sean McDermott beat the Buffalo,

1500
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,719
Speaker 2: It's beat Kansas City last Sunday, which ended the Chiefs

1501
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 2: fifteen game winning streak. So for now, the Patriots winning

1502
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 2: streak of twenty one in a row back in three

1503
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 2: to Zho four is safe. The Lions have won nine

1504
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 2: in a row. They'd have to win twelve more in

1505
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 2: a row just to just to tie that. But where

1506
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 2: am I going with this, Okay, Sean McDermott make the statement,

1507
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 2: he goes, this is not our super Bowl. Okay, well,

1508
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 2: fair enough. I don't know if you know you're grand

1509
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 2: standing or virtue signaling or it's a platitude. But he's

1510
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 2: not wrong, because you believe it or not. The Bills

1511
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:10,799
Speaker 2: have beaten the Chiefs fourth straight times in regular season games,

1512
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:13,680
Speaker 2: so you're right, it's not your super Bowl. That can

1513
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 2: only come in February if you get past Mahomes in

1514
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 2: the playoffs, which you haven't done in the playoffs against

1515
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:26,919
Speaker 2: the Kansas City they're zero to three. But watch the Bills,

1516
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen's having a very good season. The Bills

1517
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 2: are nine and oh this season when Josh Allen is

1518
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 2: completing just above fifty five percent, which is not allowed

1519
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,679
Speaker 2: to ask in the National Football againf you're only completing

1520
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 2: fifty five percent of your pass is probably gonna be

1521
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 2: without a job. But Josh Allen has other ways to

1522
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 2: beat you. But as long as you throw as above

1523
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 2: fifty five percent, all right. Bills are nine to oh.

1524
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 2: Something to watch. The Eagles are eight to er when

1525
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:59,759
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts completes at least one pass further than thirty

1526
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 2: are cards, with their two losses coming when they had

1527
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,639
Speaker 2: fewer of than four plays of twenty plus yards. One

1528
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 2: was against the Falcons and what was against the Buccaneers.

1529
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 2: You can say big plays matter in Philly, well, the

1530
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 2: big plays matter in the NFL. But with Seikon Barkley,

1531
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 2: if you show a bit of a vertical passing attack,

1532
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 2: clearly that opens up running legs, running lanes. But just

1533
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,799
Speaker 2: in one of these odd ball factoids that what managed

1534
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 2: to find. The Eagles are eight to o when when

1535
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts completes at least one pass further than thirty yards.

1536
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Vikings are also eight to o, and I

1537
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 2: get this. When they hold an opponent under thirty points,

1538
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 2: then nests like a lot right. But their only losses

1539
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 2: came against Detroit and the Rams, who scored thirty one

1540
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 2: and thirty respectively. Vikings are also zero to two when

1541
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 2: they run two high safety less than thirty percent of

1542
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 2: the time, which happens when they fall behind early and

1543
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 2: teams run the ball. Something to watch. Brian Forster has

1544
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 2: done a good job of that defense. The Ravens now

1545
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 2: this is one you're gonna probably swallow. Hard on. The

1546
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 2: Ravens are six to zero when Justin Tucker doesn't miss

1547
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 2: a field goal. I talked about this earlier with Joe Gibbs.

1548
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 2: We don't know what the hell has happened to Justin Tucker.

1549
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 2: Dude's got the yips man. He's probably the greatest kicker

1550
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,600
Speaker 2: of all time in the National Football League based on

1551
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 2: his body of work. But this year, if Justin Tucker

1552
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 2: just misses one field goal in any of those games,

1553
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 2: the Ravens are only one in four. That's why they're

1554
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 2: seven and four. Very concerning Tucker's thirty four years old.

1555
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,759
Speaker 2: He's struggling. He's in the midst of his first season

1556
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 2: ever of missing or hitting his field goal rate it

1557
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 2: being less than eighty percent. Let me try that again

1558
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 2: in English. That was crappy, Symtex. Okay, the Ravens are

1559
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 2: one in four when Tucker misses a field goal, and

1560
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 2: this particular season he's been struggling. This will be the

1561
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 2: first season in his career, at least so far, that

1562
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 2: he's checking in with a sub eighty percent hit rate.

1563
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 2: That was better, you know what I'm trying to say.

1564
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 2: All Right, the Commanders, they're seven and one when they

1565
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 2: rush for four yards per carry, and they're seven and

1566
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 2: oh when they break at least one run for twenty

1567
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 2: plus yards. When the Commanders lost to the Eagles last week,

1568
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 2: Washington's running back due of Brian Robinson, he only had

1569
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 2: sixty three yards and Austin Eckler eighty nine receiving yards.

1570
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 2: They were the only productive parts of the offense. So,

1571
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 2: while not exactly a new flash, but they got to

1572
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 2: run the ball and average four yards of carry to win.

1573
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 2: If you are the Commanders, the Packers are five and

1574
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 2: oh when they run the ball in the red zone

1575
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 2: at least sixty percent of the time, and six and

1576
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 2: oh when Josh Jacobs and his crew see twenty five

1577
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 2: or more rushing attempts. By the way, I wonder if

1578
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 2: the Raiders regret letting Josh Jacobs go, you think they

1579
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 2: could use them. Josh Jacobs is the first Green Bay

1580
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 2: Packer with over one thousand yards from scrimmage in his

1581
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 2: first ten games since the Moon Green did it back

1582
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,879
Speaker 2: in two thousand and two. He's been a huge asset.

1583
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 2: He's helped Jordan Love. He gets you the hard yard,

1584
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 2: he moves the chains on third down. He's phenomenal in

1585
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 2: the red zone. He's phenomenal on the goal line. A

1586
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 2: big fan of Josh Jacobs. Until Thursday, the Steelers were

1587
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 2: actually four and oh with Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback.

1588
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,839
Speaker 2: And by the way, their defense ranks fifth until EPA.

1589
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:46,759
Speaker 2: The Lions nine to zero when scoring over twenty points.

1590
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 2: Somehow in Game two the Buccaneers who actually handed the

1591
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 2: Lions their only sole loss. And by the way, if

1592
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 2: you watch that game and Tampa Bay was healthy, their

1593
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 2: pass run was phenomenal that day. They were living in

1594
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 2: the backfield. They hit Jared Goff more times in Rocky Balboa,

1595
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 2: and they held the Lions. The Buccaneers in Week two

1596
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 2: held the Lions to sixteen points that day. That was

1597
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 2: the Lion's only loss. The Lions are plus one fifty

1598
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 2: nine in point differential, and if you go back twenty

1599
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 2: years through Week eleven with a plus one fifty nine

1600
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,640
Speaker 2: point differential, that makes them fifth. Now, let's give this

1601
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 2: some perspective, because I told you that the Lions have

1602
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 2: become the betting favorite in Las Vegas now to win

1603
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. So let's take a quick look at

1604
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 2: those other teams in the past twenty years who had

1605
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 2: that same kind of gaudy statistic whereby they were plus

1606
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 2: one fifty nine and a point differential, and three of

1607
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 2: those four teams above them made the Super Bowl. One

1608
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 2: of them the New England Patriot. Now this is ridiculous.

1609
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 2: Now that's the game. They ended up losing to ELI

1610
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl in two thousand and eight. But

1611
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 2: it was a two thousand and seven season. Get this,

1612
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 2: through ten games. Through ten games, the Patriots had a

1613
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 2: differential a point differential a plus minus a plus two

1614
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 2: fifty four. I mean they're out, they're out scoring teams.

1615
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 2: We almost four touchdowns a game. The Patriots also have

1616
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 2: the second best record twenty nineteen one hundred and seventy

1617
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 2: nine points plus the New Orleans Saints back of nine.

1618
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 2: Of course, that was the Super Bowl played in twenty ten,

1619
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:40,680
Speaker 2: when Drew Brees and they beat the Indianapolis Colts. They

1620
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 2: had a point differential of plus one sixty five to

1621
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 2: two thousand and six Chicago Bears, who also made it

1622
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. That game was played in you know,

1623
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:53,719
Speaker 2: January February two thousand and seven. They lost to the Colts.

1624
01:27:54,080 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 2: Their point differential was was one sixty two and in

1625
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 2: the lines checking at one fifty nine. Now, one last thing.

1626
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are true odd balls. They have an eight

1627
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 2: to one record in their last nine games, and yet

1628
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,679
Speaker 2: they trailed by at least a touchdown at any point. Finally,

1629
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 2: the loss came Sunday, and I think this time somehow

1630
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 2: the Chiefs were on the receiving end of quarterback magic

1631
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 2: by Josh Allen. But remember what I said. The Bills

1632
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 2: have beaten the Chiefs four straight times in the regular season,

1633
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 2: but they're on to three against the Chiefs and the playoffs,

1634
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:36,759
Speaker 2: and I think that I think it's safe to believe

1635
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 2: that there's a high probability of those two teams are

1636
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,719
Speaker 2: going to find each other in the playoffs. Playoffs. Again,

1637
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,839
Speaker 2: I don't like Baltimore's DNA in the playoffs. It just it't.

1638
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 2: They don't do it. And you know, don't tell me,

1639
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 2: show me. And I think this Bills team is very

1640
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 2: buttoned up. And believe me the Chiefs. If you don't

1641
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 2: think they can threepeat, you haven't been paying attention. I'm

1642
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 2: not saying it's automatic, but don't go to sleep sleep

1643
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:00,080

Speaker 2: coaches sometimes even categories that are trending upward in the

1646
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:11,799
Speaker 2: National Football League, and certainly there are teams and coaches

1647
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 2: and players and situations that are trending down. We'll take

1673
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 2: right after we get off the year. Who's trending up

1674
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 2: in the National Football League? Well, this one's an easy

1675
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 2: one for me. The case for Josh Allen to be

1676
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 2: the MVP. That signature touchdown run on fourth and two

1677
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:01,880
Speaker 2: to seal the game against Kansas City, beat the Chiefs

1678
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 2: for the four straight time in the regular season, got

1679
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 2: the Bills nine and two, gave them the Buffalo the

1680
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 2: edge and the AFC tiebreaker and a calfed off a day,

1681
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 2: A capped off a day. Excuse me? That really showcased

1682
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, at least for that day, looking like the

1683
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:19,639
Speaker 2: best player in the NFL, doing so without his starting

1684
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 2: right tackle Spencer Brown and his two leading pass catchers.

1685
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 2: Kean Coleman didn't play, neither did Dalton KDIs tight end.

1686
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 2: And the announcer escapes me as to who was on

1687
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:34,240
Speaker 2: the call that day. I can hear the voice because

1688
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 2: it was a risky play and fourth and two and

1689
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 2: he said he made a B line of the en zone.

1690
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 2: It was a kind of play that if if the

1691
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,600
Speaker 2: Bills get to the Super Bowl, that'll be replayed. And

1692
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:47,640
Speaker 2: the announcer said, this is the play of the year

1693
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 2: in the NFL. And when you juxtapose that in the

1694
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:53,679
Speaker 2: context of the situation and who Buffalo was playing against,

1695
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 2: and I think they needed it for their psyche to

1696
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,679
Speaker 2: beat Kansas City. Kansas City is the real deal, all right.

1697
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 2: They're the closest thing I've seen to Bill Walsh's forty

1698
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 2: nine ers, where you had the trifecta, where you had

1699
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 2: carbon policy, Bill Walsh and Joe Montana. You have Clark Knt,

1700
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. And as Casey Stenego once

1701
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 2: said when the Yankees won nine on twelve World Series,

1702
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 2: people can't beat the Yankees because they get stuck staring

1703
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 2: at the pinstripes. I really believe those red helmets, those

1704
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs uniforms and the way they carry themselves.

1705
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 2: I think they got some team sucked out. I really

1706
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 2: believe that. But we'll see. We'll see when November rules

1707
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 2: around there. Technically, Green Bay did three pete right. They

1708
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 2: won the NFL championship in nineteen sixty six. Then in

1709
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,679
Speaker 2: Super Bowl one and sixty seven they beat the Raiders

1710
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 2: thirty five to ten. Checked that they beat the Chiefs

1711
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 2: thirty five to ten, and they beat the Raiders thirty

1712
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:47,639
Speaker 2: three fourteen in Super Bowl two. They they won three

1713
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,280
Speaker 2: in a row, but no one's won three in a

1714
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 2: row in the Super Bowl era. Do I think the

1715
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 2: Chiefs can do it? I do, but it ain't gonna

1716
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 2: be easy, and the Bills are standing in the way.

1717
01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 2: They're one of a couple teams. Maybe I'll give a

1718
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:06,559
Speaker 2: slight thumbs up to rookie quarterback Growth. Chicago's now four

1719
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 2: and six, But if I'm being honest, Caleb Williams will

1720
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:14,000
Speaker 2: looked better last week, and I think there are some

1721
01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 2: early returns that they changed the offensive coordinators, so they're

1722
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 2: slightly better. But you know, Caleb Williams, if you just

1723
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 2: look at the numbers, last week, by far the best

1724
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 2: game of his career. He led what should have been

1725
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 2: a game winning drive, finished twenty three and thirty one yards,

1726
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:37,639
Speaker 2: ran for seventy yards against a very solid Packers defense,

1727
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 2: and he did it on his birthday. So happy birthday, Caleb.

1728
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 2: And again that Packers defense is real. Believe me. They

1729
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 2: have seven first rounders, and they they're young, and they

1730
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 2: keep they they've round into shape every year and they

1731
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 2: get better as the season goes on. And I think

1732
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 2: I don't think he seemed the best of the Packers.

1733
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 2: So for Caleb to do that in a tough divisional game,

1734
01:33:57,960 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 2: even though it's a loss, I don't want to hear

1735
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: the good loss. No such thing as a good loss.

1736
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:04,680
Speaker 2: It's like a good kidney stone. Okay, go, I've never

1737
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 2: had one of those. All Right. In Denver, bow Knicks

1738
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:11,440
Speaker 2: trending up big time. They're six and five now. Bownicks

1739
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 2: made NFL history against Atlanta by becoming the first rookie

1740
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:19,560
Speaker 2: to finish for three hundred passing yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions,

1741
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,799
Speaker 2: and a complete percentage above wait for it, eighty percent.

1742
01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 2: It's incredible. Now, Sean Payton is a quarterback whisperer, I believe,

1743
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 2: and he's a Bill Parcelles disciple and Darren McKee, who

1744
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 2: was on Friday night from Denver, covers the team. He said,

1745
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 2: Sean Peyton has been raving about bo Nicks since August

1746
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:47,680
Speaker 2: and September goes just wait, just wait, Well, he's almost unrecognizable.

1747
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 2: Bow Knicks is from back in the first two games.

1748
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:53,599
Speaker 2: I think he's a Rookie of the Year contender. He's

1749
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 2: been throwing darts man and he's comfortable. He keeps his

1750
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 2: eyes downfield. The game is not too fast for him.

1751
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:05,240
Speaker 2: He's a big reason why Denver's having the success they're having,

1752
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 2: and of course Denver visits Las Vegas here later on

1753
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 2: today in about twelve hours in New England, Drake May,

1754
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 2: again another rookie quarterback, continue to look better than a

1755
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:19,880
Speaker 2: lot of people expected. He was thirty or forty two

1756
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty two yards. He competes through two touchdowns,

1757
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 2: one interception and it was a loss, but it was

1758
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 2: against the Rams. Blitz and Sean mcvagh even mentioned after

1759
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:34,680
Speaker 2: the game how impressed he was with Drake May So,

1760
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:39,799
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, bo Nicks, Drake May, all rookie quarterbacks starting

1761
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 2: to pay some dividends. Of course, Interestingly enough, two of

1762
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 2: the three lost their games. But this is a work

1763
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 2: in progress. Look at Jordan Love. All of a sudden,

1764
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 2: he shot to the moon. After looking at people were

1765
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 2: very much questioning whether or not Green Bay made a

1766
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 2: mistake Anthony Richardson Now he does not qualify as a rookie.

1767
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. He's actually younger Anthony Richardson than

1768
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 2: both Bownicks and Caleb Williams and the man competes. I've

1769
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, I wrote him like a ren and mule

1770
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 2: because he's not exactly a great passer and he had

1771
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 2: three terrible quarters last week and their win over the Jets.

1772
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,599
Speaker 2: But what do we say in life, it's not what happens,

1773
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 2: it's how you react. He came out, Anthony Richardson came

1774
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 2: out in the fourth quarter, and his performance is very oppressive.

1775
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 2: He was eight to ten passing for one hundred and

1776
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 2: twenty nine yards, rushed the ball twice for eight yards,

1777
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:38,240
Speaker 2: including the game winning touchdown. A very good decision on

1778
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 2: his part, and that solidified their twenty eight twenty seven

1779
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 2: win over the Jets. You know they say redemption's good

1780
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 2: for the soul. Redemption was good for Anthony Richardson. The

1781
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 2: next test though, Detroit, so we'll see if he can

1782
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:54,160
Speaker 2: follow it up at least for one week. Anthony Richardson

1783
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,880
Speaker 2: did a fine job, and this was the you know

1784
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 2: game following the game where of course he took himself

1785
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 2: out needed a breather. Who else is trending up? Jim Harbaugh?

1786
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:11,640
Speaker 2: All Right, Why we knew that there would be a

1787
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 2: culture change after Brandon Staley and Los Angeles with the Chargers.

1788
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:19,799
Speaker 2: We knew that there would be improvement. But the pace

1789
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:24,759
Speaker 2: and rapidity and the way that Harball has completely changed

1790
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:27,439
Speaker 2: this culture and it's showing up in the win column.

1791
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:31,120
Speaker 2: There's seven to three. Their first ten games looked very

1792
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:35,760
Speaker 2: similar to the first ten games coached by Harball with

1793
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:39,840
Speaker 2: Alex Smith back in the forty nine Ers in twenty eleven. Now,

1794
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm not predicting this. That's the year the Niners made

1795
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 2: it to the Super Bowl and he lost to his brother.

1796
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 2: But if you compare the two after the first ten

1797
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,719
Speaker 2: games with the team Harball nine to one that year

1798
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,679
Speaker 2: seven and three. Now, that forty nine Ers team averaged

1799
01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 2: twenty five points in game. This Chargers team is averaging

1800
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 2: twenty three. But here's where it gets very similar. That

1801
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:05,479
Speaker 2: Niners defense was phenomenal. They were only allowing fourteen point

1802
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 2: three points per game. This Chargers defense fourteen point three

1803
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 2: points per game, very much improved the quarterbacks. They had

1804
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:18,520
Speaker 2: young quarterback Okay Alex Smith that year thirteen pass touchdowns,

1805
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 2: nine rushing touchdowns, Justin Herbert thirteen pass touchdowns, nine rushing touchdowns.

1806
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 2: One of the things that Jim Harbaugh does he played

1807
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:31,080
Speaker 2: quarterback of Michigan. He played quarterback in the National Football

1808
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 2: League for more than a decade. He understands what goes

1809
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 2: on between a quarterbacks years and his role within the

1810
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 2: organization is the field general and he takes pressure off

1811
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback. You know, people look at quarterbacks in the

1812
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 2: National Football League as if they're the be all, end all,

1813
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 2: and they kind of need to be, except they're the

1814
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 2: most dependent of everybody else on the team in what

1815
01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:58,200
Speaker 2: they do. You know, when you orchestrate and prosecute at

1816
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 2: NFL offense, this is always my issue with justin fields.

1817
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 2: He'll take off, he'll drop back, and he'll just take

1818
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 2: off and run and you can't do that. But in

1819
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:12,680
Speaker 2: order to have success as a quarterback, you have to

1820
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 2: really understand it's not really all on your shoulders. Every

1821
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,720
Speaker 2: quarterback is a game manager. Tom Brady was a great

1822
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 2: game manager. It's not an insult to be called a

1823
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 2: game manager. You got to manage the game. Harball understands

1824
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:26,800
Speaker 2: the psyche very well, and obviously he's imbued that with

1825
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert. Herbert looks more relaxed, more comfortable. He's always

1826
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 2: been phenomenal, but he really looks like he's coming into

1827
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 2: his own. You gotta give Jim Harball a lot of credit.

1828
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 2: I like Taysom Hill. I liked him at BUYU. The

1829
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 2: guy has torn his you know, by the way, just

1830
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 2: one last thing, I said, Harball's training up and he

1831
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 2: says it does help he as Justin Herbert. Okay, the

1832
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 2: dude throws dimes. He also led the team in rushing

1833
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 2: last week again Cincinnati. He was sixty five yards. They

1834
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 2: put up thirty four points. So you know you don't

1835
01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:01,960
Speaker 2: do it alone. In National Football League, Saints are now

1836
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 2: two to zero under interim coach Darren Rizzy, only two

1837
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:10,639
Speaker 2: games behind Atlanta. Taysom Hill's stat line when they beat

1838
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:13,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland this last week looks like a fantasy team dream.

1839
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 2: He ran for three touchdowns. He rushed the ball seven

1840
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 2: times for one hundred and thirty eight yards. He had

1841
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 2: eight receptions on ten targets and fifty receiving yards. He

1842
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,519
Speaker 2: actually had a kickoff return for forty two yards and

1843
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 2: he completed to pass for eighteen yards. Pretty sure he

1844
01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 2: sold popcorn as well. Now, for those lucky enough to

1845
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 2: don't do fantasy league football anymore, but if you had

1846
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:40,120
Speaker 2: Taysom Hill in your fantasy league lineup last week, he

1847
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 2: finished with forty two and a half PPR Fantasy points.

1848
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 2: I like Taysom Hill, always have as a gamer. The

1849
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:49,719
Speaker 2: dude's born to play football. He's a baller, all right.

1850
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 2: Some teams trend up, others trend down. Sometimes it's the

1851
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:58,600
Speaker 2: same usual suspects. The Falcons suck. I'm sorry they do

1852
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:04,240
Speaker 2: nothing for me. And again I did this with green Bay,

1853
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 2: meaning that when you assess performance or you you know,

1854
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 2: graded team's results production, it has to be juxtaposed against expectations.

1855
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 2: You cannot tell me with the money they paid Kirk

1856
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 2: Cousins and the fact that Falcons were a playoff team

1857
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 2: last year, that you didn't have expectations and they're six

1858
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 2: and five and they're coming off to a thirty eight

1859
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 2: to six loss to the Broncos, and what that did

1860
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 2: was really with you know, the white hot intensity of

1861
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 2: a million sons evidence the bad defensive issues that the

1862
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 2: Falcons have. Denver one of the things that just I mean,

1863
01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 2: we learned this in high school, how to tackle an

1864
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 2: open field. Denver routinely broke tackles routinely, as a matter

1865
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 2: of fact, one of these weird you know, analytical stats.

1866
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:04,160
Speaker 2: In that game, Denver had the eleventh most yards after

1867
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:10,240
Speaker 2: a catch in a single game in NFL history. They

1868
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 2: can't tackle anybody at Atlanta, and they you know, they

1869
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:16,680
Speaker 2: only got one sack. The NFL have a check that

1870
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 2: the Falcons have an NFL low ten sacks on the season.

1871
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,760
Speaker 2: You're not getting after the quarterback, are you? For perspective

1872
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:27,759
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. So that the Falcons ranked thirty first, thirty second.

1873
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:30,360
Speaker 2: The Dolphins are right behind them at thirty first. They

1874
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 2: have seventeen sacks. Trey Henderson of the Cincinnati Bengals, one player,

1875
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 2: has eleven and a half sacks in the air. The

1876
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:42,640
Speaker 2: Falcons have ten as a team. And I get it,

1877
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins doesn't play defense either, but there's just something

1878
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 2: about that team, man, They're just they're not. They're like

1879
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,599
Speaker 2: that friend you lend him your car and he brings

1880
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:54,120
Speaker 2: it back and he's just dent in the door. So

1881
01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 2: how did this happen? All? Well, the Falcons, they just

1882
01:42:56,720 --> 01:43:00,080
Speaker 2: they bug you. They they are trending down too. They

1883
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 2: are trending down finally. You know, I know there was

1884
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 2: this sort of this feel good vibe about the Bears

1885
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,000
Speaker 2: and Matt Eberflus and they are on hard knocks and

1886
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe Chicago is cursed, maybe bad teams

1887
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 2: just find a way to lose, or maybe, with all

1888
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:20,759
Speaker 2: due respect, Matt Eberflus is not an NFL caliber head coach.

1889
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 2: Maybe just look at last week. You know, you have

1890
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 2: to question the things he does. No one likes an

1891
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 2: armchair quarterback. But the day after a decision to burn

1892
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 2: thirty two seconds rather than try for a closer field

1893
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 2: goal that might very well have just cost the Bears

1894
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 2: of the game that last week. And that's not the

1895
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 2: first time. So I got a funny feeling. And I'm

1896
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 2: hearing that there may be as many as seven openings

1897
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:48,600
Speaker 2: in the National Football League this year. We already know

1898
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 2: there are two, and you know, I don't like to

1899
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 2: turn a guy into a dead man walking. But might

1900
01:43:56,320 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 2: Eberflus be one of those. I say it's fair that

1901
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 2: that's entirely possible. He might be. He might be one

1902
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 2: of those. Will Dion Sanders perhaps phill one of those

1903
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 2: openings in the National Football League if it opens up.

1904
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I'll tell you why. There was

1905
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:20,799
Speaker 2: a real development this week, but I think changes things

1906
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 2: quite a bit. I'm Bernie Fradder. We're coming to line

1907
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:25,759
Speaker 2: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirect dot Com studios.

1908
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 2: Keep it locked. You listened to the Bernie Fradle Show

1909
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. We're back at the Bernie Fraddle Show,

1910
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,599
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, coming to Lie from the Tirec dot

1911
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 2: Com studios here in Las Vegas. We are now at

1912
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 2: that point in the NFL season we start to look

1913
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 2: ahead as to the twenty twenty five NFL head coach

1914
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 2: candidate list, and the headlines are already being written. Okay,

1915
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 2: now we know that the Jets and Saints have already

1916
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:55,760
Speaker 2: fired their head coaches and they're not going to be

1917
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 2: the last team to make a change at the top.

1918
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 2: The headline is this, he's actually shaping up to be

1919
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 2: kind of this star studied hiring cycle. You've got a

1920
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,599
Speaker 2: mix of proven candidates and what would be considered some

1921
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 2: up and coming talent, which could lead to ownership groups

1922
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 2: making some very interesting decisions. Of course, you got the

1923
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 2: usual suspects, right Bill Belichick, he wants to be back

1924
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 2: in the NFL. He's going to be back in the NFL.

1925
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:25,519
Speaker 2: When I do Mallard Show on Thursday, I have a

1926
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,599
Speaker 2: special guest from Boston who's connected to Belichick. He'll give

1927
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 2: his thoughts on where he thinks he's going to end up.

1928
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 2: Belichick needs fifteen wins to break down Jules Record. Now.

1929
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 2: I know he's all of a sudden looking hard at Jacksonville.

1930
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:37,640
Speaker 2: I think the New York Giants are is going to

1931
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 2: be in the mix regardless. And I know you know

1932
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 2: they're saying Belichick doesn't come at the personal control he

1933
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:48,439
Speaker 2: used to. And Cowboy owner Jerry Jones said he'll never

1934
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:52,720
Speaker 2: hire a general manager. But here's the deal. I don't

1935
01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:55,320
Speaker 2: think that's a fix a fit with the structure in Dallas.

1936
01:45:57,360 --> 01:46:00,560
Speaker 2: It's not one hundred percent fire Mike McCarthy. But belichicks

1937
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 2: in the mix. So it was Mike Vrabel. Mike Rabel

1938
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,400
Speaker 2: went fifty four and forty five and six seasons with

1939
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 2: the Titans. Then he got fired, very surprising. He's he's

1940
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,599
Speaker 2: kind of a coaching personnel assistant with the Cleveland Browns.

1941
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:15,920
Speaker 2: A lot of people thought he would land a job

1942
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,719
Speaker 2: on this pass cycle. Maybe he was picky and didn't

1943
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 2: want one of the ones he got. He isn't kind

1944
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 2: of a no nonsense approach. He knows how to establish

1945
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:27,600
Speaker 2: a strong culture. And I expect Mike Able to be

1946
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:32,559
Speaker 2: back on the sidelines next year. Now, Mike McCarthy, he's

1947
01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:35,240
Speaker 2: on an expiring contract with the Dallas Cowboys. I'd be

1948
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 2: shocked if Jerry Jones were using. Okay, here's a guy though,

1949
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:41,160
Speaker 2: and I call him Barnie Rubel, and I make fun

1950
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 2: of him because he, you know, when the again, when

1951
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:44,800
Speaker 2: the heat gets out and it's hard to breathe, and

1952
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 2: it's the playoffs, he's wandering up and down the sidelines.

1953
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:49,439
Speaker 2: He looks like a guy who's in the mall parking

1954
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:51,720
Speaker 2: lot can't find his car. That's just Jerry Jones. I mean,

1955
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 2: that's Mike McCarthy. But he did coach the Packers for

1956
01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 2: thirteen years. He's actually popular among players, and you know

1957
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 2: he's been with Cowboys five years. So here's a guy

1958
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:06,880
Speaker 2: with experience. All right. There is talk that he's not

1959
01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 2: exactly on a short list with anybody, but he could

1960
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:11,840
Speaker 2: get He could get another job next year if he

1961
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 2: vacates with the Cowboys, and even the New York chants

1962
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:20,600
Speaker 2: were mentioned. But Rex Ryan wants that job that I

1963
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 2: just hire him. Brian Flores, I would say he's proven

1964
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:27,760
Speaker 2: to be way better than average defensive coordinator. He did

1965
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 2: have a shot with the Dolphins. Probably deserves a second chance.

1966
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if an NFL owner is in a

1967
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:36,479
Speaker 2: hurry to hire Brian Flores after his lawsuit accused the

1968
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:41,600
Speaker 2: league of racial discrimination. But Brian Flores is a defensive mastermind,

1969
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:44,320
Speaker 2: and I think he's in the conversation. He's a phenomenal

1970
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:47,840
Speaker 2: success as a defensive coordinator. He's a great football mind,

1971
01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:50,679
Speaker 2: He's a he's natural born leader. Things might have gotten

1972
01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 2: away from him in Miami, but you know, I think

1973
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:55,000
Speaker 2: he learned from that and he might be ready for

1974
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:57,720
Speaker 2: another shot in the NFL. I believe he'll you'll, you know,

1975
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:01,720
Speaker 2: along with maybe Mike McCarthy, certainly might raveral Bill Belichick.

1976
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 2: You got to put Florist in the mixed, So he's

1977
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 2: same with Steve Spagnolo hasn't been a full time coach

1978
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,679
Speaker 2: in the NFL since he was with the Saint Louis

1979
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 2: Rams fifteen years ago. Maybe the ship sailed, But if

1980
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 2: you look what Steve Spagnolo has done with the Chiefs defense,

1981
01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:21,080
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's got a reputation as a very

1982
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 2: strong communicator, got a reputation as a good personality. And

1983
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 2: because dan Quinn has had success with the Washington Commanders,

1984
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 2: Spagnol is a comparable example as a guy who could

1985
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 2: be a second time coach who can inject sort of

1986
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 2: a professional mentality into the into a new team's culture.

1987
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:43,959
Speaker 2: Now having said that, he's been, you know, the architect

1988
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:48,880
Speaker 2: of this Kansas City Chiefs defense, Spagnolo has and he

1989
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:50,679
Speaker 2: gets a lot of credit for how good that defense

1990
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 2: has been. Maybe he's happy just to stay there. That

1991
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 2: might not be the worst gig in the world. Then

1992
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 2: he got the arrest of the future, you know, usual suspects,

1993
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury because of what he's done with the offensive

1994
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:05,240
Speaker 2: as the offensive coordinator with the Washington Commanders. It he'll

1995
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:07,599
Speaker 2: be back in the spotlight. So will advanced Josepho's done

1996
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:11,720
Speaker 2: a phenomenal job as a defensive coordinator for the Broncos,

1997
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 2: and Darren McKee and I talked about that Friday night.

1998
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 2: Then you got the first time guys. Ben Johnson. He

1999
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 2: was a bell of the ball last year, and I

2000
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 2: think that teams wanted him, he said, Now I got

2001
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 2: unfinished business. I am told by people I trust that

2002
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:30,599
Speaker 2: if the Bears do part way with Matt Eberfluss, because

2003
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:33,519
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson one of the best league's best offensive mines,

2004
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 2: He's an elite play caller. He'll revive Jared Goff's career

2005
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 2: tournament with one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL.

2006
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,439
Speaker 2: Quarterback development is more valuable than anything right now in

2007
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:45,800
Speaker 2: who the Bears have ANUE quarterback. Wouldn't surprise me if

2008
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:47,479
Speaker 2: there is a break the bank to try to get

2009
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:50,639
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, But again, there's no guarantee he'll leave Detroit.

2010
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 2: And there's one other there's one other thing to kind

2011
01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 2: of throw the monkey wrench into. When you look at

2012
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:02,240
Speaker 2: that hiring cycle and the cadence and the time on

2013
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:06,640
Speaker 2: the calendar when people are hired, the Lions are going

2014
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:09,719
Speaker 2: to have a long playoff run. They might have all three.

2015
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:13,679
Speaker 2: They might have both of their playoff games at home,

2016
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:16,760
Speaker 2: and if they get to the super Bowl, that's you know,

2017
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 2: that takes you into February. And I know those are riffs,

2018
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:22,040
Speaker 2: but don't be surprised what happens. Where am I going

2019
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 2: with this? That's going to limit Ben Johnson's interview availability.

2020
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 2: So that's an issue, which finally brings me to Dion Sanders.

2021
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 2: And I don't want to forget Aaron Glenn. He's the

2022
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:37,800
Speaker 2: Lions defensive coordator who's also done a phenomenal job. Zach Robinson,

2023
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 2: he's the offensive coordinator of Atlanta. But I don't know.

2024
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. But let's get to Deon Sanders, which

2025
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 2: is where I was going with this. Dean fifty seven

2026
01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:50,519
Speaker 2: noun says he has no plans to leave for the NFL,

2027
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 2: but I think teams might want to talk to him. Okay,

2028
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,400
Speaker 2: maybe the money, maybe the spotlight, maybe the right opportunity

2029
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 2: could that's way standards top five pick, the opportunity to

2030
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 2: coach his son. It all sounds good. I don't think

2031
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:07,840
Speaker 2: it's going to happen. You know, Jerry, this is not

2032
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,960
Speaker 2: a circus. Okay, this is not You don't build teams.

2033
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 2: I saw Matt Millan do this crap in Detroit. You

2034
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:17,560
Speaker 2: build teams from the inside out, not on the periphery.

2035
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 2: This is not a circus act. And you know the

2036
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 2: late great Chuck Daily, the fabulous coach of the Detroit

2037
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 2: Pistons and the ninety two Dream Team, told me once

2038
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 2: he said, you know, coaching in the NBA is like

2039
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 2: managing an adult take care center. He didn't say that

2040
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 2: in a negative pejorative though. What he meant was he's

2041
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 2: her going men with families to make a lot of money.

2042
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:40,800
Speaker 2: So how you treat them, how you talk to them,

2043
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 2: how you coach them. He's totally different than how you

2044
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:45,639
Speaker 2: do in college. And Sanders is a mentor. I really

2045
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 2: believe that. And I will also say this that there

2046
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:51,479
Speaker 2: are horses for courses. And I think sanaters life would

2047
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:54,799
Speaker 2: was better as a as a college coach. Right, Sanators

2048
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:56,360
Speaker 2: would need to show he can he can hire a

2049
01:51:56,360 --> 01:51:58,720
Speaker 2: solid staff, which he's done done in Colorado, you need

2050
01:51:58,760 --> 01:52:01,600
Speaker 2: a strong general manager and archer personnel. We had a

2051
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 2: caller Friday night that brought up a great point. Deon's

2052
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:06,960
Speaker 2: able to pick his own groceries percent in Colorado, you

2053
01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:08,519
Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to do that in the NFL. There'd

2054
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:11,200
Speaker 2: be a lot of risk involved, and I'm not I

2055
01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:13,639
Speaker 2: think Dean Sanders may or may not have success anywhere

2056
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 2: he goes. I don't think it's a fit. I don't

2057
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:19,439
Speaker 2: think it will happen. I don't. And then something happened

2058
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:23,920
Speaker 2: this last week which I believe would clause the Sanders

2059
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:29,559
Speaker 2: buzz to the NFL might be, you know, never get

2060
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 2: off the tarmac, all right, So let's just say, for

2061
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,040
Speaker 2: the hell of it, the Dallas Cowboys are on the

2062
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 2: market for a new head coach, and you know they've

2063
01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:43,800
Speaker 2: underachieved obviously either three and seven. They're not competitive in

2064
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:47,920
Speaker 2: their games, and all of a sudden there's this Deon

2065
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:53,080
Speaker 2: Sanders speculation, which feels frankly a little forced. It does.

2066
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,360
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, Michael Irvin, the Cowboys legend,

2067
01:52:56,439 --> 01:53:00,160
Speaker 2: said he'll be in Jerry Jones here about hiring Sanders.

2068
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:05,320
Speaker 2: Irvin also reported in quotes that Sanders would in fact

2069
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:09,600
Speaker 2: leave Colorado to coach the Cowboys if Dallas agreed to

2070
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 2: draft his son, Schudoor. Sanders is going to be a

2071
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 2: top five, top ten pick in the NFL, and he's

2072
01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 2: done an outstanding job. He's eight and three with Colorado.

2073
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:21,160
Speaker 2: They play a little playground ball, but clearly he's got

2074
01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 2: all the physical proclivities to play in the NFL. And

2075
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 2: Shooter Centaer's a tremendous competitor, just like his dad was.

2076
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:30,879
Speaker 2: A couple problems though. Okay, and by the way, even

2077
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 2: Colin Coward said the other day, I'm not sure if

2078
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:36,559
Speaker 2: there was alcohol involved here. With all the respect to Colin,

2079
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 2: he said, maybe the Cowboys could trade Michael Parsons, get

2080
01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 2: three first round draft picks, move up and drafts your door.

2081
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 2: But see that would imply that you are moving on

2082
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 2: from Dak Prescott. Okay, come on, you gotta do a

2083
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:52,200
Speaker 2: little homework here. Prescott's sixty million dollars a deal year

2084
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:57,120
Speaker 2: kicks in next year, and if you understand the business

2085
01:53:57,160 --> 01:54:02,920
Speaker 2: aspect and the implications moving on from Dak Prescott, the

2086
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:05,320
Speaker 2: Cowboys would have one hundred million dollar cap hit if

2087
01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:08,880
Speaker 2: they moved on from Dak Prescott next year. You really

2088
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:09,760
Speaker 2: think they're gonna do that?

2089
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:10,720
Speaker 5: Not?

2090
01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:15,160
Speaker 2: No, hell no, you know maybe the second Tuesday, never never,

2091
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:18,280
Speaker 2: you know they're not gonna do it. And I'll stick

2092
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:22,200
Speaker 2: by that. And that would mean that Shador what goes

2093
01:54:22,240 --> 01:54:27,400
Speaker 2: there and Dion watches him stand on the sidelines with

2094
01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:29,840
Speaker 2: a clip order where they watch Dak, you know, have

2095
01:54:29,880 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 2: another mediocre season. Who gives it? Damn if they go

2096
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 2: twelve and five three years in a row. The Cowboys,

2097
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:37,760
Speaker 2: they want to win a Jones desperately wants to win

2098
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 2: another Super Bowl. So I can't see that scenario. A

2099
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar cap hit with Dak Prescott number two.

2100
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:50,720
Speaker 2: You know, Shador Sanders standing on the sidelines for a year,

2101
01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 2: which wouldn't be the worst thing. Which wouldn't be the

2102
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:56,560
Speaker 2: worst thing. Tom Brady said at many times, watch your

2103
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:58,920
Speaker 2: your pro do it from the sidelines, watch how they

2104
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:00,920
Speaker 2: do it. I'm not trying to have to learn on

2105
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 2: the job. And you know, a lot of including Patrick Mahomes,

2106
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 2: a lot of very successful quarterbacks sat for a year.

2107
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:11,920
Speaker 2: But something happened the other day that I think might

2108
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 2: bring this conversation to a halt. Dion and Colorado Lando

2109
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 2: were the top quarterback recruits of the class of twenty

2110
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:21,840
Speaker 2: twenty five. They got a kid by the name of

2111
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 2: Julian Juju Lewis. He's the number two playoff or number

2112
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 2: two ranked quarterback in the ESPN three hundred behind Bryce Underwood,

2113
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 2: who just got ten point one million dollars to go

2114
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 2: from Belleville High School to Michigan next year. Julian Lewis

2115
01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:40,840
Speaker 2: committed to Colorado just this past week. Georgia was after him,

2116
01:55:40,920 --> 01:55:43,760
Speaker 2: Indiana was after him. He'd actually committed to USC I

2117
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:48,760
Speaker 2: think verbally. Okay, He's the number two pocket passer recruit

2118
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five. He hails from Georgia, played great

2119
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 2: high school football in Georgia. He sets up as a

2120
01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:58,640
Speaker 2: successor to Sue Door Sanders, who will be drafted very

2121
01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 2: high in April, and Sanders in Colorado. Uh, you know,

2122
01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders likely would have had to shop for a

2123
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:09,840
Speaker 2: quarterback and the transfer portal, but now they're not gonna

2124
01:56:09,880 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 2: have to now that they got Juju Lewis. This is

2125
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:18,200
Speaker 2: the biggest recruiting win for Colorado probably forty years. Arguably

2126
01:56:18,240 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 2: the nation stop recruiter. This is Dion Sanders. He's got

2127
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 2: his fingerprints all over it. And Deon Sanders said something

2128
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 2: about the kickstand. Maybe he is happy, all right. He's

2129
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:33,840
Speaker 2: done amazing things thereon Boulder, and he's got his son,

2130
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 2: his other son, Shiloh Sanders, also returning to Boulder next

2131
01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 2: year for another season. So, with all due respect to

2132
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:44,520
Speaker 2: Michael Irvan and the national media trying to Steve Adore

2133
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 2: this story to escort Dion Sanders and the Cowboys next year,

2134
01:56:48,560 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't see it happening. It all sounds good, would

2135
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 2: make for a great story story. But Jerry Jones, even

2136
01:56:58,080 --> 01:56:59,640
Speaker 2: when he was on one oh five to three the

2137
01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 2: Fan and Dallas last week, was a little non plus.

2138
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 2: He sounded a little disinterested. Now we know that Jerry

2139
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 2: Jones likes coaches with previous NFL experience, That would explain

2140
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:13,280
Speaker 2: why you probably have a better chance of Bill Belichick,

2141
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 2: which I still don't buy that he would go there,

2142
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:19,240
Speaker 2: but what do I know? And Mike Grabel I think

2143
01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:24,800
Speaker 2: would be another real possibility ahead of Dion Sanders. Look Sanders,

2144
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:27,200
Speaker 2: it's you know. I mean. Then the rumors started to flying.

2145
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:29,920
Speaker 2: Would would he go to the Jets in a package

2146
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:31,760
Speaker 2: to you with shudor would he go to the Raiders?

2147
01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:35,600
Speaker 2: And you know, I think Mark Davis is a good dude,

2148
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:40,360
Speaker 2: but this Raiders, his team has become a circus and

2149
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 2: all you need is another tent. And you know what

2150
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:45,640
Speaker 2: maybe you do bring in d is Shudor and Dion,

2151
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 2: and I believe me for the people listening selectively out there,

2152
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 2: I'm not predicting it. I'm not expecting it, and I

2153
01:57:51,520 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 2: sure as I wouldn't recommend it. This doesn't work, It's

2154
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:58,879
Speaker 2: not I've covered an NFL team for ten years, serious business.

2155
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 2: The notion that you just bring in, uh, you know,

2156
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 2: a marquee type coach, even though it is Dion Sanders,

2157
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer in every aspect in the Sunsha door.

2158
01:58:08,240 --> 01:58:10,640
Speaker 2: I can list fifty reasons why I don't think it

2159
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:12,560
Speaker 2: would work and why Dywon might not want it, and

2160
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 2: my Jerry Jones, with all due respect, would go a

2161
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:18,120
Speaker 2: different direction. Okay. Now, Sanders might eventually plot a move

2162
01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 2: to whichever team's draft his son to talk to him,

2163
01:58:21,400 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 2: you know, coaching Dallas. I think he's not going to

2164
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:27,320
Speaker 2: get off the ground. That's my opinion. I'm sticking to it.

2165
01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 2: But it's a fun story to watch and we'll see

2166
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:32,920
Speaker 2: what happens. Okay, coming up, the dance Sensation sweep of

2167
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:34,640
Speaker 2: the Nation. What kind of brand new fool of you?

2168
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:36,640

2179
01:59:06,280 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 2: You know what, you love it? You can't live without it.

2180
01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 2: The dance sensation sweep of the nation, you see because

2181
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 2: you're on the Bernie Frattle Show. Will hate when I

2182
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 2: go third person like that. We as Yogi Berra would say,

2183
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:20,960
Speaker 2: you can observe a lot by watching, and we do

2184
01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 2: because around this great country of ours, from seed to

2185
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:26,440
Speaker 2: oily seed, even around the planet, the entire global people

2186
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 2: do things that sometimes are very questionable, sometimes are innocuous

2187
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:34,200
Speaker 2: and silly, and other times it gets you in trouble.

2188
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,160
Speaker 2: Other times they're very serious and can land in jail.

2189
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 2: But any way you slice it, any way you characterize it,

2190
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 2: any way you describe it, all these activities they always

2191
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:47,880
Speaker 2: leave us scratching our head and asking ourselves, what kind

2192
01:59:47,920 --> 01:59:51,360
Speaker 2: of brand new fool are you? So I gotta set

2193
01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:55,600
Speaker 2: this up because what happened took place in New York

2194
01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:58,240
Speaker 2: and no one broke the law. Nobody did anything crazy

2195
01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 2: or nefarious, well maybe, but not nefarious or something that

2196
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:08,520
Speaker 2: would land somebody in trouble. And you know, look, what

2197
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 2: I know about art couldn't fill a thimble. What I

2198
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:18,240
Speaker 2: don't know about art could fill volumes. And I was

2199
02:00:18,280 --> 02:00:21,520
Speaker 2: in France, in Paris with my wife last May, and

2200
02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:23,640
Speaker 2: there's art everywhere and I can look at it and

2201
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:26,760
Speaker 2: appreciate it and say, Okay, that looks pretty cool, but

2202
02:00:26,760 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 2: I still know what the hell I'm looking at. You

2203
02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:31,120
Speaker 2: could put a six million dollar Boto Chelli painting in

2204
02:00:31,120 --> 02:00:32,920
Speaker 2: front of me and I don't know what I'm looking at,

2205
02:00:33,800 --> 02:00:36,680
Speaker 2: and it's probably a good thing, because what I tell you,

2206
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:40,760
Speaker 2: what happened this last week on Wednesday at Softbee's auction

2207
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:44,880
Speaker 2: in New York. If this doesn't leave you scratching your head,

2208
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:48,320
Speaker 2: all right, so let me set this up. Additionally, this

2209
02:00:48,400 --> 02:00:52,280
Speaker 2: stunt was tried five years ago, and this particular painting

2210
02:00:53,040 --> 02:00:55,800
Speaker 2: actually sold for one hundred and twenty grand, so five

2211
02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:58,840
Speaker 2: years later, they decided to do it again, and all

2212
02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:02,520
Speaker 2: of a sudden, this one particular art piece attracted all

2213
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:06,240
Speaker 2: this attention at the auction at Softbeast, a very busy auction.

2214
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:08,840
Speaker 2: It was wall to wall people in a crowded room.

2215
02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 2: People are holding up phones to take pictures. As the

2216
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,839
Speaker 2: two handlers brought out this piece of art, they decided

2217
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:17,840
Speaker 2: the bidding was start at eight hundred thousand dollars, and

2218
02:01:17,880 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 2: within minutes it shot up to a million, then two million,

2219
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:27,400
Speaker 2: then three million, then four million, then five million, and

2220
02:01:27,440 --> 02:01:30,640
Speaker 2: then it got to five point two million, in which

2221
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 2: a gentleman by the name of Justin who's heavily into cryptocurrency,

2222
02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:39,680
Speaker 2: decided to purchase this what he believes an incredibly valuable

2223
02:01:39,760 --> 02:01:42,640
Speaker 2: piece of art. In addition to the five point two million,

2224
02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:45,760
Speaker 2: that didn't include the one million dollars in auction house

2225
02:01:45,760 --> 02:01:49,440
Speaker 2: fees which are always paid by the buyer. Now, in

2226
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:53,440
Speaker 2: buying this piece of art, Justin said quote, this represents

2227
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:58,000
Speaker 2: a cultural phenomenon. It bridges the worlds of arts, memes,

2228
02:01:58,320 --> 02:02:01,720
Speaker 2: and cryptocurrency community. Now let me tell you what the

2229
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:04,440
Speaker 2: piece of art was, and I'm not making it up.

2230
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:08,840
Speaker 2: It was a banana on a whiteboard held up by

2231
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:13,040
Speaker 2: a piece of duct tape. Sold for six point two

2232
02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:17,680
Speaker 2: million dollars A banana, A fairly well rotten looking banana

2233
02:02:18,640 --> 02:02:24,800
Speaker 2: held up by a piece of duct tape on a whiteboard. Now,

2234
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,880
Speaker 2: I guess maybe you can justify the money because it

2235
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:31,960
Speaker 2: turns out that banana was bought at Whole Foods. But

2236
02:02:32,080 --> 02:02:36,360
Speaker 2: I digress. So a gentleman who obviously has a lot

2237
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:41,240
Speaker 2: of money paid six point two million dollars for a

2238
02:02:41,280 --> 02:02:43,640
Speaker 2: piece of art that was a banana held up by

2239
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:47,320
Speaker 2: a duct tape on a white board. Yes, he said,

2240
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 2: it represents a culture phenomenon. And to bring it all home,

2241
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:54,240
Speaker 2: he said. Justin said additionally, in the coming days, I

2242
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:56,800
Speaker 2: will personally eat the banana as part of the unique

2243
02:02:56,880 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 2: artistic experience, honoring its place in both arts history and

2244
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:06,080
Speaker 2: popular culture. I think I just threw open my mouth.

2245
02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 2: With all due respect, Justin, you might be the smartest

2246
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 2: guy in the world, but I have the right to ask,

2247
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:13,760
Speaker 2: if you are paying six point two million dollars for

2248
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:15,480
Speaker 2: a piece of art that's a banana with a duct

2249
02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:18,760
Speaker 2: tape on a whiteboard, what kind of brand new fool you?

2250
02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 2: I got a headache. No one broke the law right now.

2251
02:03:26,360 --> 02:03:29,800
Speaker 2: Usually our guy Shay Mognguard is with us on Saturday night.

2252
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:32,880
Speaker 2: He loves this segment Brand new fool really gets into it,

2253
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 2: especially if it's from Florida. But Shay is under the weather,

2254
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:39,880
Speaker 2: he is sick. So in his place tonight, pinch hitting

2255
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Brianna Muro who will join us now for what kind

2256
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:44,080
Speaker 2: of brand new fool?

2257
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:47,440
Speaker 7: Alrighty, So I yeah, I don't. I couldn't find a

2258
02:03:47,480 --> 02:03:51,200
Speaker 7: Florida one, but I did find something in Wisconsin, so

2259
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:56,640
Speaker 7: less than two hours from Lambeau. Ryan boardwatt age forty

2260
02:03:56,680 --> 02:04:00,240
Speaker 7: five of Waterton, Wisconsin, has been a regular contact with

2261
02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:03,320
Speaker 7: authorities and sent them a video this month saying he

2262
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:06,240
Speaker 7: was safe and secure after he faked his own death

2263
02:04:06,360 --> 02:04:09,880
Speaker 7: back in August by making it appear that he had

2264
02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:14,680
Speaker 7: drowned in a kayaking accident. He went fishing in Green

2265
02:04:14,760 --> 02:04:18,120
Speaker 7: Lake and left behind a capsized kayak and his vehicle.

2266
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:21,680
Speaker 7: Investigators found like a fishing rod, a tackle box with

2267
02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 7: his keys, wallet, and driver's license inside, but obviously like

2268
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:30,200
Speaker 7: he had totally disappeared. The authorities spent weeks searching the

2269
02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:33,600
Speaker 7: lake for his body before a digital forensic analysis of

2270
02:04:33,640 --> 02:04:36,240
Speaker 7: a laptop that his wife had given to them. To

2271
02:04:36,280 --> 02:04:40,800
Speaker 7: the investigators revealed that mister Borgwat had moved money into

2272
02:04:40,880 --> 02:04:43,600
Speaker 7: a foreign bank account and had been communicating with a

2273
02:04:43,720 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 7: random woman and it was a biggest stand that I

2274
02:04:47,440 --> 02:04:51,080
Speaker 7: cannot pronounce. Data on the laptop also showed that he

2275
02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:54,000
Speaker 7: had bought an airline gift card and had taken out

2276
02:04:54,040 --> 02:04:56,919
Speaker 7: a three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars life insurance

2277
02:04:56,920 --> 02:05:01,680
Speaker 7: policy to benefit his family. So when mister Borgat reached

2278
02:05:01,720 --> 02:05:04,520
Speaker 7: out to the investigators and sent them the video, he

2279
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:07,120
Speaker 7: admitted that he ditched his kayak in the lake and

2280
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:09,160
Speaker 7: threw his phone into the water and gotten an e

2281
02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:11,840
Speaker 7: bike that he had stashed near the boat launch and

2282
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:16,560
Speaker 7: rode overnight to Madison, Wisconsin. From there, he boarded a

2283
02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:19,680
Speaker 7: bus to Detroit and then to an airport in Canada.

2284
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,200
Speaker 7: He then got on a plane to an unknown destination.

2285
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:27,200
Speaker 7: So the like he had told the Sheriff's department, like

2286
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:32,040
Speaker 7: he wouldn't really describe why he had left his family.

2287
02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:34,560
Speaker 7: He said that he had personal matters going on and

2288
02:05:34,600 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 7: felt like this was the right thing to do, so

2289
02:05:38,960 --> 02:05:42,480
Speaker 7: he if he were to return to Wisconsin, he could

2290
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:45,840
Speaker 7: face an obstruction charge for having staged his own death,

2291
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:50,600
Speaker 7: and the officials are also like seeking restitution for about

2292
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:53,600
Speaker 7: forty thousand dollars that was spent on the search for

2293
02:05:53,640 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 7: his like fake body that obviously is nowhere in the lake.

2294
02:05:58,440 --> 02:06:02,200
Speaker 7: So it looks like he left his entire family to

2295
02:06:02,320 --> 02:06:05,480
Speaker 7: like go off with some random woman in Eastern Europe,

2296
02:06:05,960 --> 02:06:08,880
Speaker 7: and which is like insane. And so the authority said,

2297
02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 7: Christmas is coming, and what better gift that mister Borgwalk

2298
02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:14,680
Speaker 7: give his children to be there for Christmas? As they're

2299
02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:16,880
Speaker 7: trying to convince him to come home, and he's kind

2300
02:06:16,920 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 7: of being like, no, I did this. I need to leave.

2301
02:06:20,360 --> 02:06:23,200
Speaker 7: I needed an escape. So Ryan Borgwalk, what kind of

2302
02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:24,040
Speaker 7: brand new fool are you?

2303
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 2: It definitely falls into a brand new fool category. This

2304
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:31,440
Speaker 2: guy's an idiot. Is he going to be extradited from Canada?

2305
02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 2: Do we know? Is there any more of the story?

2306
02:06:33,680 --> 02:06:37,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, so he's an Eastern Europe right, yeah? Yeah, so

2307
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:41,280
Speaker 7: it was a big a Kistan. It was Bekistan, yes,

2308
02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:44,400
Speaker 7: And so he's actually there. He sent the video. It's

2309
02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:47,520
Speaker 7: like it's him in a random apartment with like white

2310
02:06:47,520 --> 02:06:50,320
Speaker 7: walls and a gray door, and he's just like I'm safe,

2311
02:06:50,360 --> 02:06:53,640
Speaker 7: I'm secure, I'm alive. You know, my bad for faking

2312
02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:56,440
Speaker 7: my own death, but I ain't coming home like that's ith.

2313
02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:59,040
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, definitely a brand new fool that will

2314
02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 2: h That will conclude this week's edition of what kind

2315
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:07,160
Speaker 2: of brand new fool you? Whose bekistan might be a first,

2316
02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:13,440
Speaker 2: which now allows us to segue into our second favorite

2317
02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:16,160
Speaker 2: bit that we lovingly referred to as what my name?

2318
02:07:16,560 --> 02:07:20,280
Speaker 2: All right? This past week, this is an NBA question.

2319
02:07:20,960 --> 02:07:25,040
Speaker 2: I became the first NBA player to record two hundred

2320
02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:28,760
Speaker 2: triple doubles in a career. Mark Ramsey What my name?

2321
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:32,760
Speaker 2: And he has a nickname that really upset his kids

2322
02:07:33,640 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 2: In terms of shots, he was missing Mark Ramsey, What

2323
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:40,480
Speaker 2: my name? Fans were dogging him on this nickname?

2324
02:07:40,680 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 8: Is it Westbrook?

2325
02:07:41,840 --> 02:07:48,000

2326
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:54,240

Speaker 2: NBA in triple doubles last season. Here's a clue. He's Russian. Brianna,

Speaker 2: What my name? DeMont Bonus is the correct answer?

2329
02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 7: Thank you for the clue. Not really helping him.

2330
02:08:14,480 --> 02:08:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that wasn't my idea. My wife said, you need

2331
02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:19,360
Speaker 2: to give more clues, so it's working better. So here's

2332
02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:23,440
Speaker 2: the deal. Let's stay in NBA triple doubles. I led

2333

02:08:30,160 --> 02:08:32,800
Speaker 2: give you a clue, Mark, some people regard him as

02:08:32,840 --> 02:08:36,840
Speaker 2: the best player in the world, Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2337

Speaker 8: Lebron James.

2338

Speaker 2: Not Lebron James. He does have a few triple doubles

2339
02:08:43,400 --> 02:08:46,600
Speaker 2: this season. I currently lead the NBA in triple doubles

2340
02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:49,120
Speaker 2: this season. Some people regard him as the best player

2341
02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:51,560
Speaker 2: in the world. Brianna, what my name.

2342

02:09:38,960 --> 02:09:44,520
Speaker 2: back to basketball. This past week, I became the all

2388
02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:37,200
Speaker 2: tune into Fox Sports Radio every Sunday morning, beginning at

2389
02:11:37,240 --> 02:11:40,800
Speaker 2: ten am Eastern seventy m Pacific Contown to Kickoff, presented

2390
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:43,200
Speaker 2: by bet mg and Brian Not, Jeff Schwartz and professional

2391
02:11:43,280 --> 02:11:46,520
Speaker 2: better Bill Krackenberger. Have you covered three hours before kickoff?

2392
02:11:46,520 --> 02:11:49,160
Speaker 2: Every Sunday morning, listening to Contown to Kickoff presented by

Speaker 2: BETMGM right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart

2394
02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:56,960
Speaker 2: Radio app. Coming up, there was another big time player

2395
02:11:57,200 --> 02:12:00,560
Speaker 2: named that was reported to perhaps get a coach and

2396
02:12:01,040 --> 02:12:05,000
Speaker 2: a coaching job in college football, and this would follow

2397
02:12:05,080 --> 02:12:07,920
Speaker 2: sort of the same model as Dion Sanders. But the

2398
02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:10,880
Speaker 2: university was pretty blunt saying, no, that's not true, it's

2399
02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:14,160
Speaker 2: not happening. I'm surprised by that because I actually think

2400
02:12:14,160 --> 02:12:15,760
Speaker 2: this would work even though this guy didn't have any

2401
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:18,680
Speaker 2: coaching experience. I'll tell you what's going on. Coming up.

Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. Before I get to the coaching story

2413
02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:58,080
Speaker 2: I just mentioned, I want to talk about one game

2414
02:12:58,080 --> 02:13:03,320
Speaker 2: ever so quickly. The Ravens are Chargers. It's the Harbaugh Bowl,

2415
02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:05,680
Speaker 2: and I got a feeling the Chargers take care of

2416
02:13:05,720 --> 02:13:09,640
Speaker 2: business and the Ravens would fall to seven and five.

2417
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:14,760
Speaker 2: The biggest storyline is the Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert playing

2418
02:13:14,760 --> 02:13:17,440
Speaker 2: with some of the best football in his career's streak

2419
02:13:17,520 --> 02:13:20,440
Speaker 2: of two and forty six pass attempts for the interception

2420
02:13:20,560 --> 02:13:23,000
Speaker 2: longest in team history. Jim Harbaugh has a lot to

2421
02:13:23,040 --> 02:13:26,160
Speaker 2: do with that. He also has six touchdown passes of

2422
02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:28,960
Speaker 2: more than twenty yards downfield, tied for the most of

2423
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:32,720
Speaker 2: the National Football League. This matchup could be in his

2424
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:37,200
Speaker 2: favor because the Ravens have the NFL's worst pass defense,

2425
02:13:37,240 --> 02:13:40,400
Speaker 2: alowing two hundred and eighty five yards a game. Part

2426
02:13:40,400 --> 02:13:42,080
Speaker 2: of the reason I bring that up is ray Lewis

2427
02:13:42,120 --> 02:13:46,960
Speaker 2: ain't walking through that door. Well, guess what, ray Lewis.

2428
02:13:47,520 --> 02:13:50,680
Speaker 2: He's been rumored as a head coaching candidate for the

2429
02:13:50,800 --> 02:13:55,520
Speaker 2: Florida Atlanta football team. He wants the job. He's been

2430
02:13:56,040 --> 02:13:59,839
Speaker 2: I think politicking for the job. Remember they just Florida

2431
02:14:00,360 --> 02:14:03,640
Speaker 2: just parted ways with their former head coach Tom Herman

2432
02:14:03,800 --> 02:14:06,720
Speaker 2: on Monday. Herman's had quite a you know, he's been

2433
02:14:06,760 --> 02:14:10,440
Speaker 2: moving a lot of big teams, Houston Texas, but he underperformed.

2434
02:14:10,440 --> 02:14:12,040
Speaker 2: He had a winless record in the a SEC he

2435
02:14:12,040 --> 02:14:15,600
Speaker 2: played this season. And luckily for them, you know, Lewis

2436
02:14:16,080 --> 02:14:21,720
Speaker 2: brings an exceptional resume. But but apparently they've thrown cold

2437
02:14:21,760 --> 02:14:24,800
Speaker 2: water over it, and he wanted I think he wants

2438
02:14:24,840 --> 02:14:28,760
Speaker 2: to follow Dion Sanders method when he went to Colorado

2439
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:32,280
Speaker 2: and become their next head coach. I'm for it. I mean,

2440
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:36,040
Speaker 2: Rey Lewis has no head coaching experience, but let's face it,

2441
02:14:36,720 --> 02:14:39,000
Speaker 2: you don't think people would want to play for Ray Lewis.

2442
02:14:39,760 --> 02:14:42,240
Speaker 2: It's tough to say. He hasn't been a head coach before.

2443
02:14:42,680 --> 02:14:46,080
Speaker 2: And you know, Dion coached at Jackson State. He led

2444
02:14:46,080 --> 02:14:48,320
Speaker 2: them to two ten plus win seasons. He didn't have

2445
02:14:48,320 --> 02:14:52,120
Speaker 2: any coaching experience, led them to two Celebration Bowls, and

2446
02:14:52,200 --> 02:14:54,280
Speaker 2: he got the He flipped the number one recruit in history.

2447
02:14:54,280 --> 02:14:58,200
Speaker 2: He got Travis Hunter after Travis Hunter, you know, had

2448
02:14:59,320 --> 02:15:05,000
Speaker 2: had committed to do to Florida State. And look, it's been

2449
02:15:05,040 --> 02:15:08,080
Speaker 2: reported by CBS in twenty four to seven Sports. There's

2450
02:15:08,120 --> 02:15:12,960
Speaker 2: been no direct communication between Lewis and the school at

2451
02:15:12,960 --> 02:15:16,000
Speaker 2: this point, and it's highly unlikely that that FAU does

2452
02:15:16,120 --> 02:15:20,720
Speaker 2: end up hiring Ray Lewis as a head coach, although

2453
02:15:20,800 --> 02:15:23,960
Speaker 2: that outcome could happen. You bring in someone like a

2454
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:25,640
Speaker 2: Ray Lewis, I think it could be a spark that

2455
02:15:25,720 --> 02:15:27,960
Speaker 2: the program really needs. And in order for that to happen,

2456
02:15:28,800 --> 02:15:30,800
Speaker 2: or any FBF program, they want them to be a

2457
02:15:30,840 --> 02:15:34,800
Speaker 2: head coach. You know, they're gonna have support. They're gonna

2458
02:15:34,800 --> 02:15:38,200
Speaker 2: have to have support of the administration, which so far

2459
02:15:38,560 --> 02:15:41,320
Speaker 2: appeers they're throwing nothing but cold water on it. So

2460
02:15:41,720 --> 02:15:43,640
Speaker 2: I don't know why they're so dismissive of it. I would.

2461
02:15:43,800 --> 02:15:45,680
Speaker 2: I think they should at least talk to ray Lewis.

2462
02:15:46,960 --> 02:15:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm a big believer and unconventional hires. You know, they

2463
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:56,080
Speaker 2: have a tendency to work. Frankly, they do. I mean

2464
02:15:56,440 --> 02:15:58,560
Speaker 2: the winningest coach of all time, which I brought up

2465
02:15:59,080 --> 02:16:03,600
Speaker 2: earlier on the show on Shula is you know he

2466
02:16:03,640 --> 02:16:05,640
Speaker 2: had no head coaching experience when he got his first

2467
02:16:05,640 --> 02:16:07,840
Speaker 2: head job in the NFL. He's won more games than

2468
02:16:07,840 --> 02:16:10,680
Speaker 2: anybody else. You can either do this, you can't. Well,

2469
02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:13,520
Speaker 2: ray Lewis saint walking through that door. When it comes

2470
02:16:13,560 --> 02:16:17,960
Speaker 2: to the Ravens Chargers on Sunday, and I think I

2471
02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:21,800
Speaker 2: think Baltimore could use them another LA team. A game

2472
02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm watching a storyline to watch. The Rams are coming

2473
02:16:25,880 --> 02:16:28,640
Speaker 2: off only their second game of the season without a turnover,

2474
02:16:30,000 --> 02:16:35,400
Speaker 2: and they you know, they have somehow managed to get

2475
02:16:35,400 --> 02:16:38,800
Speaker 2: the five and five, and everybody seems like they're really

2476
02:16:38,879 --> 02:16:40,520
Speaker 2: high on this Rams team, But I don't get it.

2477
02:16:40,640 --> 02:16:43,800
Speaker 2: You know, when you've got Pooka Nakua and you've also

2478
02:16:43,879 --> 02:16:49,920
Speaker 2: got you know, Cooper Cup playing, obviously, that gives you

2479
02:16:49,959 --> 02:16:54,080
Speaker 2: a fighting chance. But I think this Phillies team is

2480
02:16:54,120 --> 02:16:56,880
Speaker 2: going to be much too much for the Rams. The

2481
02:16:56,959 --> 02:16:58,879
Speaker 2: Eagles have had one hundred and fifty rushing yards two

2482
02:16:58,920 --> 02:17:02,640
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns five straight games. The last team to do

2483
02:17:02,680 --> 02:17:04,680
Speaker 2: that was the eighty eight Bengals. They did five straight

2484
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:06,520
Speaker 2: back in eighty eight with they Ikey Shuffle. That team

2485
02:17:06,560 --> 02:17:09,080
Speaker 2: went to the Super Bowl and lost a close one

2486
02:17:09,959 --> 02:17:12,480
Speaker 2: to the forty nine Ers. It's a game I'll be watching.

2487
02:17:12,520 --> 02:17:14,320
Speaker 2: It's a game that both teams want to make a stake.

2488
02:17:14,400 --> 02:17:16,720
Speaker 2: And remember the Eagles are eight and two and the

2489
02:17:16,720 --> 02:17:19,160
Speaker 2: Lions have to host the Buffalo Bills later in December

2490
02:17:19,200 --> 02:17:21,280
Speaker 2: at home. You know, well, the Lions end up with

2491
02:17:21,320 --> 02:17:23,880
Speaker 2: one loss at sixteen and one, they could that it's

2492
02:17:23,920 --> 02:17:25,520
Speaker 2: DOWNFA but right now the Eagles are eight and two.

2493
02:17:25,560 --> 02:17:26,760
Speaker 2: If they go to nine or two, they're only one

2494
02:17:26,760 --> 02:17:29,720
Speaker 2: game back from the Lions. And they very much have

2495
02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:33,720
Speaker 2: designs and want to just steal that number one draft

2496
02:17:33,720 --> 02:17:36,440
Speaker 2: pick or number one draft excuse me, the number one

2497
02:17:36,440 --> 02:17:38,680
Speaker 2: seed and get you know, the homefield advantage throughout the

2498
02:17:38,680 --> 02:17:43,080
Speaker 2: playoffs and a bye another team that I think maybe

2499
02:17:43,120 --> 02:17:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm just wrong about. Maybe that ship has sailed on

2500
02:17:45,160 --> 02:17:47,920
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers. They're five and five right now,

2501
02:17:47,959 --> 02:17:50,119
Speaker 2: they're banged up as hell. Their chances just loan down

2502
02:17:50,160 --> 02:17:53,040
Speaker 2: the Packers and Jordan Love took a big hit this week.

2503
02:17:53,520 --> 02:17:56,240
Speaker 2: Nick Bolsos ruled out with a left tip and oblique situation.

2504
02:17:57,120 --> 02:17:59,640
Speaker 2: San Franz simply does not have a reliable pass rusher

2505
02:17:59,640 --> 02:18:02,520
Speaker 2: and is not on the field. And Brock Purdy he's

2506
02:18:02,560 --> 02:18:05,520
Speaker 2: dealing with that right shoulder injury, so he's not gonna play.

2507
02:18:05,560 --> 02:18:08,039
Speaker 2: So you're going in there with a backup quarterback, Brandon Allen,

2508
02:18:08,640 --> 02:18:11,920
Speaker 2: and you're going in there with a situation where you've

2509
02:18:11,920 --> 02:18:14,720
Speaker 2: got you know, a green Bay hot at home. They're

2510
02:18:14,760 --> 02:18:18,080
Speaker 2: seven to three. Green Bay is a short two point favorite.

2511
02:18:19,400 --> 02:18:21,040
Speaker 2: You know they're gonna need a massive game out of

2512
02:18:21,080 --> 02:18:23,040
Speaker 2: George Kittle. Would it surprise me this is the way

2513
02:18:23,080 --> 02:18:26,119
Speaker 2: the NFL works. Would it surprise me if the Niners

2514
02:18:26,120 --> 02:18:29,200
Speaker 2: went in and still that game, No, it would not no,

2515
02:18:29,280 --> 02:18:32,640
Speaker 2: it would not. But Jordan Love was a perfect six

2516
02:18:32,680 --> 02:18:35,360
Speaker 2: for six last week against the Bears on throws of

2517
02:18:35,520 --> 02:18:39,720
Speaker 2: fifteen or more yards downfield, four went to receiver Christian Watson.

2518
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:42,760
Speaker 2: He's still top five in the league in ear yards

2519
02:18:42,760 --> 02:18:45,199
Speaker 2: per at ten. But the Niners defense has been strong

2520
02:18:45,240 --> 02:18:48,200
Speaker 2: against deep throws. But they're not getting to the quarterback

2521
02:18:48,240 --> 02:18:50,320
Speaker 2: now the way they're gonna be when you don't have

2522
02:18:50,440 --> 02:18:54,320
Speaker 2: Joey Bolsa. That's just a fact. That's another game to watch.

2523
02:18:55,600 --> 02:18:57,959
Speaker 2: One of the probably uglier games of the week might

2524
02:18:58,000 --> 02:19:02,000
Speaker 2: be right here in Las Vegas. The Broncos six and

2525
02:19:02,160 --> 02:19:06,160
Speaker 2: five at the Raiders two and eight. Broncos are six

2526
02:19:06,240 --> 02:19:11,440
Speaker 2: point favorites. Here's what's interesting since moving to the Desert.

2527
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:14,280
Speaker 2: The Broncos are owned four in Las Vegas since the

2528
02:19:14,360 --> 02:19:17,800
Speaker 2: Raiders made the move here to Las Vegas. So this

2529
02:19:17,840 --> 02:19:20,279
Speaker 2: is going to come down to how well the Broncos

2530
02:19:20,320 --> 02:19:22,240
Speaker 2: offenses closes the deal in the red zone. I think

2531
02:19:22,240 --> 02:19:24,400
Speaker 2: Bownix is coming off the best game of his career

2532
02:19:25,120 --> 02:19:28,119
Speaker 2: against Atlanta last week three hundred and seven yards, four touchdowns,

2533
02:19:28,160 --> 02:19:31,920
Speaker 2: eighty four percent completion percentage, and then went over the Falcons.

2534
02:19:31,920 --> 02:19:35,000
Speaker 2: The Broncos five of fifteen in the red zone. Look,

2535
02:19:35,280 --> 02:19:39,000
Speaker 2: the Broncos are hitting on all three cylinders. The Raiders

2536
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:41,520
Speaker 2: already have the worst ranked running game in the NFL,

2537
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:45,040
Speaker 2: and their top two running backs, Alexander Madison and Zamra White,

2538
02:19:45,120 --> 02:19:50,000
Speaker 2: both missed practice this week. So Amir Abdullah, who's got talent,

2539
02:19:50,040 --> 02:19:51,480
Speaker 2: but he's been hurt a lot in his career. The

2540
02:19:51,560 --> 02:19:54,480
Speaker 2: Raiders will look to him. This feels like Broncos, and

2541
02:19:54,600 --> 02:19:58,360
Speaker 2: Broncos cover the number, but you never know what happens

2542
02:19:58,400 --> 02:20:00,280
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. It is a week to

2543
02:20:00,360 --> 02:20:03,800
Speaker 2: week league, and on any given Sunday, as they say,

2544
02:20:04,360 --> 02:20:09,400
Speaker 2: plenty of interesting matchups Minnesota, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Dallas, Washington,

2545
02:20:10,360 --> 02:20:13,400
Speaker 2: you know, and I think again Arizona Seattle's we talked

2546
02:20:13,400 --> 02:20:17,280
Speaker 2: about earlier with Joe Joe Gibbs. So bottom line is,

2547
02:20:18,160 --> 02:20:21,040
Speaker 2: you know, we are seven and a half hours away

2548
02:20:21,080 --> 02:20:25,120
Speaker 2: from another NFL Week twelve Sunday to re emerge, and

2549
02:20:25,160 --> 02:20:27,920
Speaker 2: as they say, expect the unexpected, as Burtpell once said

2550
02:20:28,320 --> 02:20:32,160
Speaker 2: in the National Football League on any given Sunday, and

2551
02:20:32,200 --> 02:20:36,520
Speaker 2: that has actually proven to bear itself out. We do

2552
02:20:36,600 --> 02:20:40,040
Speaker 2: cover it all here on The Bernie Frattle Show. And

2553
02:20:40,040 --> 02:20:44,880
Speaker 2: that's why We also cover the sport spelled football futbol.

2554
02:20:45,480 --> 02:20:48,959
Speaker 2: It's played around the world. It's time Chris Purfett's World

2555
02:20:49,040 --> 02:20:49,879
Speaker 2: of Soccer.

2556
02:20:51,400 --> 02:21:02,160
Speaker 6: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2557
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:04,360
Speaker 5: Heim.

2558
02:21:07,280 --> 02:21:10,760
Speaker 4: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2559
02:21:11,240 --> 02:21:14,160
Speaker 9: So Harry Kane just became the man to scored the

2560
02:21:14,640 --> 02:21:19,200
Speaker 9: fifty goals, the fastest in Bundesliga history, coming on Friday,

2561
02:21:19,320 --> 02:21:23,280
Speaker 9: thanks to a hat trick over Augsburg Bayern Munich three

2562
02:21:23,400 --> 02:21:27,279
Speaker 9: Augsburg nil, all three goals from Harry Kane. The Englishman

2563
02:21:27,360 --> 02:21:30,440
Speaker 9: has seen something of a resurgence yet again, if you

2564
02:21:30,440 --> 02:21:33,080
Speaker 9: could even say he slowed down at all when.

2565
02:21:32,920 --> 02:21:34,840
Speaker 8: He left Tottenham Hotspur.

2566
02:21:35,320 --> 02:21:38,280
Speaker 9: Previously, the fastest to reach fifty goals was the name

2567
02:21:38,320 --> 02:21:40,879
Speaker 9: you've probably heard of in Bundesliga, and that would be

2568
02:21:40,879 --> 02:21:44,160
Speaker 9: Earling Holland fifty goals and fifty games when he played

2569
02:21:44,200 --> 02:21:47,400
Speaker 9: for Borussia Dortmund. Harry Kane has been able to eclipse

2570
02:21:47,440 --> 02:21:50,680
Speaker 9: that and gets to fifty goals in just forty three games.

2571
02:21:50,959 --> 02:21:53,040
Speaker 9: But you might have thought at age thirty, maybe this

2572
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:55,120
Speaker 9: is the place at thirty one, excuse me, this is

2573
02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:57,440
Speaker 9: a place where Harry Kane starts to take a step

2574
02:21:57,520 --> 02:22:02,080
Speaker 9: back as he enters into a later part in his career,

2575
02:22:02,200 --> 02:22:05,680
Speaker 9: and nothing really has slowed him down. At Euro twenty

2576
02:22:05,720 --> 02:22:10,160
Speaker 9: twenty four he tied as the top scorer while being

2577
02:22:10,320 --> 02:22:14,000
Speaker 9: captain for England. Another time captaining for England, and I

2578
02:22:14,040 --> 02:22:17,600
Speaker 9: see no doubt why he won't be with England far

2579
02:22:17,720 --> 02:22:20,000
Speaker 9: less just being its captain. I think he'll be both

2580
02:22:20,040 --> 02:22:23,560
Speaker 9: of those for World Cup twenty twenty six in North America.

2581
02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:26,400
Speaker 9: But it just leaves a bitter taste if you are

2582
02:22:26,440 --> 02:22:29,920
Speaker 9: someone who roots for Tottenham Hotspur to watch him continually

2583
02:22:29,959 --> 02:22:33,200
Speaker 9: score over and over and over, back from the days

2584
02:22:33,240 --> 02:22:36,240
Speaker 9: where he apparently had a gentleman's agreement with the team

2585
02:22:36,280 --> 02:22:39,119
Speaker 9: owner at Tottenham where he'd be allowed to go and

2586
02:22:39,160 --> 02:22:43,840
Speaker 9: that was not honored, and just the acrimonious breakup that

2587
02:22:43,959 --> 02:22:46,600
Speaker 9: happened with the club that saw him going to Germany.

2588
02:22:47,080 --> 02:22:49,560
Speaker 9: Either way, the German giants at Bayern Munich are more

2589
02:22:49,600 --> 02:22:51,879
Speaker 9: than happy to have him giving them something of a

2590
02:22:51,920 --> 02:22:55,560
Speaker 9: shot in the arm after a season or so where

2591
02:22:55,680 --> 02:22:58,440
Speaker 9: it's looked like they just need to get back on track.

2592
02:22:58,879 --> 02:23:01,680
Speaker 9: As for tattenhaimself, sitting tenth on the English Premier League

2593
02:23:01,680 --> 02:23:04,480
Speaker 9: table coming into this weekend. It's some time in the

2594
02:23:04,480 --> 02:23:08,039
Speaker 9: wilderness without their longtime captain. They're one of their greatest

2595
02:23:08,080 --> 02:23:11,800
Speaker 9: scores of all time and a reminder of happier days

2596
02:23:11,879 --> 02:23:12,760
Speaker 9: as he seems.

2597
02:23:12,520 --> 02:23:16,560
Speaker 8: To be doing quite well with his new bo in Deutschland.

2598
02:23:17,120 --> 02:23:19,280
Speaker 9: Now let's move over to Spain, a place we haven't

2599
02:23:19,320 --> 02:23:21,279
Speaker 9: really been on World of Soccer in a minute, because

2600
02:23:21,920 --> 02:23:24,280
Speaker 9: there's some question marks starting to go up against the

2601
02:23:24,879 --> 02:23:29,080
Speaker 9: football royalty. And yes we are talking about Real Madrid

2602
02:23:29,320 --> 02:23:33,039
Speaker 9: as drama seems to really pile up and signs weaknesses. Yes,

2603
02:23:33,160 --> 02:23:37,280
Speaker 9: weaknesses in Real Madrid are starting to form.

2604
02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:39,960
Speaker 8: I don't think I ever expected this to happen.

2605
02:23:40,400 --> 02:23:42,039
Speaker 9: Now, they do have a game on Sunday where they

2606
02:23:42,080 --> 02:23:44,360
Speaker 9: will try to get right against a club that is three,

2607
02:23:44,480 --> 02:23:48,920
Speaker 9: five and five in Laganas, But however they.

2608
02:23:48,959 --> 02:23:52,640
Speaker 8: Have kind of been like there's no other way around it.

2609
02:23:52,680 --> 02:23:55,560
Speaker 9: They got trounced last time they played out Classico against

2610
02:23:55,600 --> 02:24:00,120
Speaker 9: a Barcelona squad that is still unbeaten as of Friday

2611
02:24:00,400 --> 02:24:03,520
Speaker 9: going into the La Ligo weekend, and they have dropped

2612
02:24:03,600 --> 02:24:07,640
Speaker 9: two games in the Champions League, one to Milan and

2613
02:24:07,720 --> 02:24:09,520
Speaker 9: a bit of a laffert which was kind of I

2614
02:24:09,600 --> 02:24:12,760
Speaker 9: mean Milan's very good. I don't think I really, you know.

2615
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:16,560
Speaker 8: Have any problems there. But then you also dropped a

2616
02:24:16,600 --> 02:24:17,039
Speaker 8: game to.

2617
02:24:17,040 --> 02:24:22,440
Speaker 9: Leah A, the fourth place club in French in the

2618
02:24:22,440 --> 02:24:26,680
Speaker 9: French play that managed to get into the Champions League play.

2619
02:24:26,680 --> 02:24:29,440
Speaker 8: I don't I this.

2620
02:24:29,440 --> 02:24:32,000
Speaker 9: Was supposed to be the Real Madrid roster that was

2621
02:24:32,040 --> 02:24:36,080
Speaker 9: welcoming in killing Embape, that all of these fantastic pieces

2622
02:24:36,120 --> 02:24:40,360
Speaker 9: all around it, that was going to cement Real Madrid's

2623
02:24:40,400 --> 02:24:42,960
Speaker 9: place among the Cosmos is one of the greatest teams

2624
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:45,920
Speaker 9: of all time. And right now, part way into the season,

2625
02:24:46,840 --> 02:24:49,640
Speaker 9: I mean, they're playing well, but they're not playing Real

2626
02:24:49,800 --> 02:24:54,040
Speaker 9: Madrid good. They are on FRAU As of Friday, coming

2627
02:24:54,040 --> 02:24:57,640
Speaker 9: into the weekend, they sit a good solid six points

2628
02:24:57,640 --> 02:25:02,240
Speaker 9: behind rivals Barcelona. And again, last time they played Barcelona,

2629
02:25:02,480 --> 02:25:04,160
Speaker 9: Barcelona whooped.

2630
02:25:03,760 --> 02:25:05,840
Speaker 8: Them, whooped them.

2631
02:25:06,160 --> 02:25:08,160
Speaker 9: And as it stands right now in the Champions League,

2632
02:25:08,160 --> 02:25:11,360
Speaker 9: they are not an automatic run into to the round

2633
02:25:11,360 --> 02:25:14,480
Speaker 9: of sixteen. They would have to play in knockout stages.

2634
02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:16,280
Speaker 9: There's a little bit of a different format this year

2635
02:25:16,280 --> 02:25:18,680
Speaker 9: for the Champions League. And this is all just made

2636
02:25:18,800 --> 02:25:21,880
Speaker 9: even more surprising because as I am sitting here, I

2637
02:25:21,920 --> 02:25:24,720
Speaker 9: am saying all these things about how the team hasn't

2638
02:25:24,720 --> 02:25:29,000
Speaker 9: come together fully understanding that Vensius Junior, one of their

2639
02:25:29,040 --> 02:25:32,080
Speaker 9: great young pieces, has had two hat tricks in the

2640
02:25:32,120 --> 02:25:35,760
Speaker 9: past calendar year. And really you do have to put

2641
02:25:35,800 --> 02:25:38,160
Speaker 9: some attention onto Killian Embape.

2642
02:25:38,400 --> 02:25:40,039
Speaker 4: This was supposed to be the home run.

2643
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:44,200
Speaker 9: Arrival of Killing Embappe, the prolific French scorer who merely

2644
02:25:44,280 --> 02:25:47,920
Speaker 9: saved France in the World Cup and has just been

2645
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:52,720
Speaker 9: a fantastic, fantastic watch all throughout these years. And yet

2646
02:25:52,879 --> 02:25:57,039
Speaker 9: he's been very modest at best being integrated into this club.

2647
02:25:57,080 --> 02:25:59,600
Speaker 9: And yes, I get it, there's a lot of pieces

2648
02:25:59,640 --> 02:26:01,880
Speaker 9: on this This is a club that has Venisias Junior,

2649
02:26:01,959 --> 02:26:08,360
Speaker 9: Jude Bellingham, Valverde Eduargo Kamavinga like there should be no problem,

2650
02:26:08,440 --> 02:26:12,520
Speaker 9: no shortage of goal scoring yere. But unfortunately it looks

2651
02:26:12,600 --> 02:26:15,720
Speaker 9: like the woes for Real Madrid come once again.

2652
02:26:16,240 --> 02:26:18,199
Speaker 8: It always seems to happen, Bernie.

2653
02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:23,600
Speaker 9: It's the midfield, folks, it's the midfield, stupid. The retirement

2654
02:26:23,640 --> 02:26:27,440
Speaker 9: of Tony Kruz really seems to have really started to

2655
02:26:27,920 --> 02:26:31,279
Speaker 9: take its toll upon the club, with no real options

2656
02:26:31,320 --> 02:26:34,440
Speaker 9: there for them to go to as they are trying

2657
02:26:34,480 --> 02:26:37,039
Speaker 9: to figure out things and maybe at least try to

2658
02:26:37,080 --> 02:26:39,920
Speaker 9: salvage some of this in in Champions League. I don't

2659
02:26:39,920 --> 02:26:43,800
Speaker 9: know about LaLiga. It's a long season, but when you're

2660
02:26:43,800 --> 02:26:46,960
Speaker 9: in the business of Real Madrid, you want to win Laaliga,

2661
02:26:47,040 --> 02:26:49,360
Speaker 9: but ultimately you want to be the Kings of Europe

2662
02:26:49,720 --> 02:26:53,240
Speaker 9: more than anything else, and this stuff kind of just

2663
02:26:53,360 --> 02:26:55,840
Speaker 9: keeps piling up for Real Madrid. One of the stories

2664
02:26:55,840 --> 02:27:00,760
Speaker 9: we hadn't talked about from past month was that decided

2665
02:27:00,800 --> 02:27:04,240
Speaker 9: to skip decided to boycott the Blondeire because the award

2666
02:27:04,280 --> 02:27:07,880
Speaker 9: went to Rogerie of Manchester City instead of to their

2667
02:27:07,920 --> 02:27:11,240
Speaker 9: own great young player of Venisius Junior, and their decision

2668
02:27:11,280 --> 02:27:14,800
Speaker 9: to skip that award didn't really garner them a lot

2669
02:27:14,879 --> 02:27:18,360
Speaker 9: of favorable press. It didn't really garner them I think

2670
02:27:18,400 --> 02:27:21,120
Speaker 9: the reaction they expected. I think they expected more people

2671
02:27:21,120 --> 02:27:24,160
Speaker 9: to be on their side about this, and it's kind

2672
02:27:24,200 --> 02:27:27,080
Speaker 9: of another sign to a club that is really flailing

2673
02:27:27,120 --> 02:27:31,000
Speaker 9: in the win right now, which is really really not

2674
02:27:31,280 --> 02:27:34,960
Speaker 9: characteristic of Real Madrid. I'm not spelling doom and gloom

2675
02:27:34,959 --> 02:27:36,959
Speaker 9: on the club, but I'm just kind of looking at

2676
02:27:36,959 --> 02:27:38,840
Speaker 9: them right now and i just want to know what's

2677
02:27:38,920 --> 02:27:41,480
Speaker 9: going through their heads. Right now, what is your plan

2678
02:27:41,560 --> 02:27:44,160
Speaker 9: with killing Embappa. You have all this great talent. You

2679
02:27:44,160 --> 02:27:46,879
Speaker 9: should not be looking like this in European play. You

2680
02:27:46,879 --> 02:27:50,640
Speaker 9: certainly shouldn't be getting trounced by Barcelona. Great as they are,

2681
02:27:50,920 --> 02:27:54,400
Speaker 9: and Barcelona, I know, very rarely eclipsed Real Madrid, but

2682
02:27:55,200 --> 02:27:58,320
Speaker 9: Barcelona right now is number six in the standings for

2683
02:27:58,360 --> 02:28:02,600
Speaker 9: the Champions League, while you Real Madrid are down eighteen

2684
02:28:02,720 --> 02:28:04,880
Speaker 9: and would have to play in knockout rounds if we

2685
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:08,240
Speaker 9: left the group stage today. Humility, it's not a ward

2686
02:28:08,320 --> 02:28:13,199
Speaker 9: you really associate with kings or royalty. But for Real Madrid,

2687
02:28:13,320 --> 02:28:17,840
Speaker 9: the supposed the longtime kings of football in Europe, they're

2688
02:28:17,879 --> 02:28:20,119
Speaker 9: starting to eat a little bit of it right now.

2689
02:28:20,320 --> 02:28:22,840
Speaker 9: We'll keep an eye on that. Have so much more.

2690
02:28:23,000 --> 02:28:26,200
Speaker 9: We got MLS Cup playoffs around in the semi finals

2691
02:28:26,200 --> 02:28:28,680
Speaker 9: this weekend, Bernie, after a long time away.

2692
02:28:28,800 --> 02:28:30,800
Speaker 8: Enjoy all of it, and we'll see you next time

2693
02:28:30,800 --> 02:28:31,640
Speaker 8: on the World of Soccer.

2694
02:28:33,959 --> 02:28:38,560
Speaker 2: Yep, the World of Soccer. It's always something, as they say.

2695
02:28:40,040 --> 02:28:44,120
Speaker 2: Coming up, we wrap up the show and a couple things.

2696
02:28:45,080 --> 02:28:48,920
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick might have a dance partner for the NFL

2697
02:28:49,160 --> 02:28:53,320
Speaker 2: next year. One team is targeting him and he looks

2698
02:28:53,320 --> 02:28:55,920
Speaker 2: like he's open minded. Now they still have a coach,

2699
02:28:56,160 --> 02:28:58,000
Speaker 2: but it looks like it might be a fate, a

2700
02:28:58,120 --> 02:29:02,280
Speaker 2: complete we'll see. Also, you might not want to hear this,

2701
02:29:02,360 --> 02:29:04,359
Speaker 2: but you're not going to believe what major League Baseball

2702
02:29:04,680 --> 02:29:08,520
Speaker 2: is considering next help considering it. They're already experimenting with it.

2703
02:29:08,600 --> 02:29:11,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I'm for it. I don't think

2704
02:29:11,680 --> 02:29:14,600
Speaker 2: I'm for it. We'll see. I'm Bernie fraddlework company line

2705
02:29:14,640 --> 02:29:17,039
Speaker 2: from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tarreck dot Com Studios.

2706
02:29:17,120 --> 02:29:19,280
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here, listening to the Bernie Fraddle

2707
02:29:19,320 --> 02:29:25,480
Speaker 2: Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, wrapping it up

2708
02:29:25,480 --> 02:29:27,920
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frattle Show. I want to thank my

2709
02:29:27,959 --> 02:29:31,039
Speaker 2: crew in Los Angeles. Ja Moulgangar was out sick tonight,

2710
02:29:32,120 --> 02:29:36,120
Speaker 2: Brand and Mark holding it down. Appreciate all the efforts

2711
02:29:36,160 --> 02:29:45,000
Speaker 2: tonight keeping the show glued together. One quick thing. You

2712
02:29:45,080 --> 02:29:47,080
Speaker 2: might not want to hear this, but Major League Baseball

2713
02:29:47,240 --> 02:29:50,240
Speaker 2: is going to continue experimenting with robot umpires during spring

2714
02:29:50,280 --> 02:29:54,560
Speaker 2: training in twenty twenty five, and they have plans to

2715
02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:57,920
Speaker 2: use this what's called the Challenge System at thirteen ballparks

2716
02:29:58,560 --> 02:30:00,600
Speaker 2: during spring training, which will host night team teams and

2717
02:30:00,640 --> 02:30:03,920
Speaker 2: if it's successful, it could make it actually, it could

2718
02:30:04,040 --> 02:30:06,560
Speaker 2: actually make its way to regular season games by twenty

2719
02:30:06,640 --> 02:30:10,200
Speaker 2: twenty six. That's what Rob Manfred, the commissioner said that

2720
02:30:10,240 --> 02:30:13,240
Speaker 2: the owners meetium is past week and for the system

2721
02:30:13,280 --> 02:30:15,280
Speaker 2: to be implemented Major League Baseball, well, they're going to

2722
02:30:15,320 --> 02:30:18,080
Speaker 2: have to have an agreement between the Major League Baseball

2723
02:30:18,400 --> 02:30:25,199
Speaker 2: of Major MLB's Umpire Association after their collective bargain agreement

2724
02:30:25,360 --> 02:30:30,920
Speaker 2: expires this Sunday or not this Sunday, this Monday after Thanksgiving. Now,

2725
02:30:30,959 --> 02:30:34,400
Speaker 2: this automated umpiring system, it has been tested in the

2726
02:30:34,440 --> 02:30:36,760
Speaker 2: minor leagues over the past five years, although there's still

2727
02:30:36,760 --> 02:30:38,120
Speaker 2: a lot of work to be done in terms of

2728
02:30:38,760 --> 02:30:43,040
Speaker 2: determining a proper strike zone. And then the system is

2729
02:30:43,040 --> 02:30:45,600
Speaker 2: going to be evaluated by Major League Baseball during spring

2730
02:30:46,680 --> 02:30:49,800
Speaker 2: spring training. That'll that will determine the appropriate next steps

2731
02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:53,640
Speaker 2: towards implementation. There's two sides to it. It's what the

2732
02:30:53,640 --> 02:30:55,480
Speaker 2: clubs think about it, and also what are the players

2733
02:30:55,520 --> 02:30:57,160
Speaker 2: think about it. They're gonna have to soar through a lot.

2734
02:30:57,360 --> 02:30:59,920
Speaker 2: I hope this never happens. Now there's still be an

2735
02:31:00,040 --> 02:31:05,400
Speaker 2: umpire back there, right Like Leslie Nielsen in the naked

2736
02:31:05,440 --> 02:31:09,320
Speaker 2: gun where he's you know, balls and strikes. But there's

2737
02:31:09,360 --> 02:31:12,200
Speaker 2: something about it that fundamentally pisses me off. Because I'll

2738
02:31:12,200 --> 02:31:15,960
Speaker 2: tell you why. Ball players will tell you players have

2739
02:31:16,000 --> 02:31:19,119
Speaker 2: certain tendencies. Some guys see the low pitch, some guys

2740
02:31:19,160 --> 02:31:22,360
Speaker 2: see the high pitched, vice versa. Back in the day,

2741
02:31:22,600 --> 02:31:25,520
Speaker 2: you know, one league used chess protectors, the other league didn't.

2742
02:31:25,800 --> 02:31:27,959
Speaker 2: Some umpires set up right behind the catchers, some set

2743
02:31:28,040 --> 02:31:30,119
Speaker 2: up to the left of the right, So they have tendencies.

2744
02:31:30,120 --> 02:31:32,720
Speaker 2: And if you're doing your homework and you understand these tendencies,

2745
02:31:33,840 --> 02:31:36,040
Speaker 2: he may give you an edge. Baseball is a thinking

2746
02:31:36,080 --> 02:31:41,680
Speaker 2: man's game. I don't get this infatuation with technology that's

2747
02:31:41,720 --> 02:31:44,640
Speaker 2: gone too far. I understand they want to get it right,

2748
02:31:44,680 --> 02:31:47,440
Speaker 2: you know in the National Football League, but it's you

2749
02:31:47,440 --> 02:31:50,560
Speaker 2: can't even have a pass caught or someone out of

2750
02:31:50,600 --> 02:31:53,040
Speaker 2: bounds or a scoring play without stop and play with

2751
02:31:53,160 --> 02:31:56,119
Speaker 2: his knuckleheads, you know, stare into the tunnel for an hour,

2752
02:31:56,640 --> 02:32:00,480
Speaker 2: and sometimes it adds more confusion to the situation. So

2753
02:32:01,120 --> 02:32:05,440
Speaker 2: baseball is going to continue experimenting with robot umpires. And

2754
02:32:05,520 --> 02:32:07,920
Speaker 2: the only thing I can say is they think it's

2755
02:32:07,959 --> 02:32:09,800
Speaker 2: for the betterment of the game. I'm not so sure

2756
02:32:09,920 --> 02:32:12,920
Speaker 2: it is. By the way, I want to give Dion

2757
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:17,439
Speaker 2: Sanders a lot of credit. Apparently he very much chastised

2758
02:32:17,480 --> 02:32:21,800
Speaker 2: his Colorado team after the game for very good reasons.

2759
02:32:21,840 --> 02:32:24,520
Speaker 2: And if you saw it, they lost their composure. Even

2760
02:32:24,560 --> 02:32:28,840
Speaker 2: Shudor Sanders himself shoved an umpire, a referee from behind.

2761
02:32:30,120 --> 02:32:33,039
Speaker 2: He's lucky he wasn't kicked out. That could easily could

2762
02:32:33,040 --> 02:32:36,760
Speaker 2: have happened, but it didn't. And after losing thirty seven

2763
02:32:36,800 --> 02:32:40,080
Speaker 2: to twenty one at Arrowhead, Dion said, look, he said,

2764
02:32:40,120 --> 02:32:43,440
Speaker 2: we couldn't stop the bleeding. Hats off to the Jayhawks.

2765
02:32:43,440 --> 02:32:45,240
Speaker 2: They were more physical, They were more physical on us.

2766
02:32:45,280 --> 02:32:46,880
Speaker 2: They outplayed this They wanted it a lot more than

2767
02:32:46,920 --> 02:32:49,360
Speaker 2: we did. And I think that's true. And he also

2768
02:32:49,400 --> 02:32:51,000
Speaker 2: went on to say, you think this team has lost

2769
02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:53,120
Speaker 2: its focus? He said, quote, not one of you can

2770
02:32:53,160 --> 02:32:55,200
Speaker 2: say you played your best game. Nobody here can say

2771
02:32:55,200 --> 02:32:57,720
Speaker 2: they played good. See. The problem is you guys are

2772
02:32:57,760 --> 02:33:02,119
Speaker 2: intoxicated with success. Sanders is I think he's a wise man. Okay,

2773
02:33:02,760 --> 02:33:05,920
Speaker 2: Colorado was sixteenth in the country. Uh, you know, And

2774
02:33:05,959 --> 02:33:09,039
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, uh, you know, what

2775
02:33:09,080 --> 02:33:13,320
Speaker 2: did what did Bill Walsh check that? Not Bill Walsh.

2776
02:33:13,400 --> 02:33:17,800
Speaker 2: It was Nick Saban. What did he say? Press clippings

2777
02:33:19,080 --> 02:33:22,160
Speaker 2: They're like rat poison, but only if you drink it up.

2778
02:33:22,400 --> 02:33:25,800
Speaker 2: Obviously Colorado have been drinking their own press clippings. Clearly,

2779
02:33:26,720 --> 02:33:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't see how you could see they did. And

2780
02:33:28,720 --> 02:33:32,760
Speaker 2: then you know, look, you know most alpha dogs, when

2781
02:33:32,760 --> 02:33:37,080
Speaker 2: they experience failure, they're they're determined to bounce back and

2782
02:33:37,200 --> 02:33:39,880
Speaker 2: fight back and get up. And but everybody deals with

2783
02:33:39,879 --> 02:33:43,600
Speaker 2: success differently, and that's Colorado has. Perhaps his team, in

2784
02:33:43,640 --> 02:33:45,879
Speaker 2: spite of all their wonderful accomplishments this year and what

2785
02:33:45,879 --> 02:33:49,760
Speaker 2: they've done where they've come in two years, you know,

2786
02:33:50,080 --> 02:33:51,800
Speaker 2: they haven't learned how to deal with success yet. And

2787
02:33:51,800 --> 02:33:55,480
Speaker 2: that's something they're gonna have to gonna have to learn. So,

2788
02:33:56,080 --> 02:33:59,240
Speaker 2: in case you missed it, Saturday was was a bloodbath

2789
02:34:00,320 --> 02:34:03,279
Speaker 2: in college football. The SEC went from demanding five playoff

2790
02:34:03,280 --> 02:34:05,240
Speaker 2: teams to hope we didn't get four and they might

2791
02:34:05,280 --> 02:34:08,080
Speaker 2: have to settle for three. As you're heading, do you

2792
02:34:08,120 --> 02:34:12,320
Speaker 2: know a rivalry week? Florida beat Old Miss twenty four

2793
02:34:12,360 --> 02:34:15,400
Speaker 2: to seventeen. Rebels were just three or fourteen on third down.

2794
02:34:15,480 --> 02:34:18,760
Speaker 2: Alabama's uneven season continues. They can not only lose at Oklahoma.

2795
02:34:19,000 --> 02:34:22,400
Speaker 2: They lose twenty four to three. Alabama hasn't scored three

2796
02:34:22,440 --> 02:34:26,800
Speaker 2: points in a game in twenty two years. Terrible. Not

2797
02:34:26,959 --> 02:34:29,680
Speaker 2: just that they lost, it's a terrible loss. And Oklahoma

2798
02:34:29,760 --> 02:34:33,120
Speaker 2: completely shut down Jalen Milroy through three interceptions, and the

2799
02:34:33,200 --> 02:34:36,080
Speaker 2: Sooners get this signature home victory really kind of their

2800
02:34:36,120 --> 02:34:38,400
Speaker 2: first big one they can build on in their first

2801
02:34:38,480 --> 02:34:43,320
Speaker 2: SEC season. Now, you can't politic this year, okay, And

2802
02:34:43,879 --> 02:34:47,439
Speaker 2: I think what happened Saturday is gonna probably knock Alabama,

2803
02:34:47,560 --> 02:34:50,000
Speaker 2: Ole Miss, and BYU out of the playoffs. But that

2804
02:34:50,160 --> 02:34:54,520
Speaker 2: bodes well for Tennessee, Arizona State, and SMU. So where

2805
02:34:54,520 --> 02:34:57,360
Speaker 2: am I going with this? Here's what we believe will

2806
02:34:57,400 --> 02:35:03,560
Speaker 2: be the projected rankings on Tuesday when ESPN does their

2807
02:35:03,560 --> 02:35:08,040
Speaker 2: second to last or third to last twelve teen projected

2808
02:35:08,080 --> 02:35:11,280
Speaker 2: field for the new playoff format. Clearly, Oregon's still number one.

2809
02:35:11,320 --> 02:35:13,880
Speaker 2: They're eleven to another. They're the Big Ten champion, They've

2810
02:35:13,879 --> 02:35:16,280
Speaker 2: already reserved a spot in the Big Ten championship game.

2811
02:35:16,920 --> 02:35:20,480
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, if they if Ohio State beats Michigan, which

2812
02:35:20,520 --> 02:35:23,120
Speaker 2: I believe they will, they would Ohio State would be

2813
02:35:23,120 --> 02:35:25,480
Speaker 2: favored in a Big Ten rematch at Lucas Oil Stadium

2814
02:35:25,480 --> 02:35:29,200
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. But nonetheless, the Oregon Ducks are number one,

2815
02:35:29,320 --> 02:35:31,360
Speaker 2: and that's what we have to deal with today. Like

2816
02:35:31,520 --> 02:35:35,160
Speaker 2: Arnie says, the show is today, all right. Number two

2817
02:35:35,240 --> 02:35:37,440
Speaker 2: ranked team right now, Texas ten and one, looks like

2818
02:35:37,440 --> 02:35:40,800
Speaker 2: they'll be the SEC CHAMPI again, these are projections. Don't

2819
02:35:40,800 --> 02:35:44,440
Speaker 2: listen selectively. They beat Text, They beat Kentucky thirty one

2820
02:35:44,520 --> 02:35:48,640
Speaker 2: to fourteen. Quinn Ewer is another good game. Miami ranked third,

2821
02:35:49,120 --> 02:35:51,680
Speaker 2: ten and one. They probably the projected ACC champ in

2822
02:35:51,680 --> 02:35:56,840
Speaker 2: Arizona State now this late season, Darling, they beat BYU

2823
02:35:56,959 --> 02:35:58,959
Speaker 2: twenty eight, twenty three, the six and one in their

2824
02:35:59,040 --> 02:36:01,760
Speaker 2: last seven games. And the truth of the matter is

2825
02:36:01,840 --> 02:36:04,800
Speaker 2: that Sun Devil's now control their own destiny sound from

2826
02:36:04,800 --> 02:36:07,400
Speaker 2: Maier in the Big twelve championship race, So what would

2827
02:36:07,440 --> 02:36:12,280
Speaker 2: that make the matchups? Those four would get buys Arizona State, Miami, Texas,

2828
02:36:12,360 --> 02:36:15,199
Speaker 2: and the Oregon first round matchup would be number twelve

2829
02:36:15,240 --> 02:36:18,040
Speaker 2: Boise State, who I think will end up being the

2830
02:36:18,080 --> 02:36:21,400
Speaker 2: Mountain West champion. They would have to visit the Horseshoe

2831
02:36:21,400 --> 02:36:25,880
Speaker 2: at Ohio State and face number five Buckeyes SMU and

2832
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:29,320
Speaker 2: their first season. In the ACC A very nifty ten

2833
02:36:29,360 --> 02:36:31,240
Speaker 2: and one, they were ranked eleventh. They would have to

2834
02:36:31,320 --> 02:36:34,960
Speaker 2: visit Penn State and Big Ten. It appears if things

2835
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:39,000
Speaker 2: go according to Oils, Penn State will be the Big

2836
02:36:39,040 --> 02:36:42,279
Speaker 2: ten at large entrant with their ten and one record.

2837
02:36:42,560 --> 02:36:45,840
Speaker 2: All right, the e Lions managed to shake off Minnesota

2838
02:36:45,840 --> 02:36:48,160
Speaker 2: twenty six to twenty five. They had kind of a

2839
02:36:48,200 --> 02:36:50,520
Speaker 2: game winning drive that featured a fake punt a second

2840
02:36:50,560 --> 02:36:53,800
Speaker 2: fourth court down conversion. Give James Franklin some credit for

2841
02:36:53,840 --> 02:36:56,760
Speaker 2: those crunch time calls, but I don't know ten Penn State,

2842
02:36:57,280 --> 02:36:59,680
Speaker 2: there's something about them that bugs me. Tennessee would be

2843
02:36:59,680 --> 02:37:02,400
Speaker 2: the number ten ranked team now they'd be the SEC

2844
02:37:02,440 --> 02:37:05,720
Speaker 2: team at large two losses. They would visit Notre Dame,

2845
02:37:06,440 --> 02:37:10,200
Speaker 2: who ten and one as an independent is looking pretty good.

2846
02:37:10,200 --> 02:37:11,560
Speaker 2: They might be better than I thought. We'll see how

2847
02:37:11,560 --> 02:37:14,520
Speaker 2: they do against USC next week, and then finally number

2848
02:37:14,560 --> 02:37:18,120
Speaker 2: nine Indiana. Because of the carnage today, it looks like

2849
02:37:18,160 --> 02:37:20,600
Speaker 2: they would survive as the Big ten team at large

2850
02:37:20,640 --> 02:37:23,160
Speaker 2: ten and one, but they'd have to visit Georgia, who's

2851
02:37:23,240 --> 02:37:26,000
Speaker 2: nine to two would be the SEC teams Okay Iowa

2852
02:37:26,120 --> 02:37:28,400
Speaker 2: State BYU Clemston, Texas a and m is still in the

2853
02:37:28,400 --> 02:37:31,280
Speaker 2: bubble and if passed his prolog it could get all

2854
02:37:31,320 --> 02:37:35,600
Speaker 2: shaken up again next Saturday. So stay tuned. It's been

2855
02:37:35,600 --> 02:37:37,640
Speaker 2: an exhilarating college football seat. It's good do it for

2856
02:37:37,680 --> 02:37:39,560
Speaker 2: the Bernie Fradlers Show'll be back on the airwaves Thursday.

2857
02:37:39,560 --> 02:37:41,520
Speaker 2: Of doing Ben Mallard keep it locked up next to

2858
02:37:41,520 --> 02:37:43,480
Speaker 2: the great Andy Furman, Fox Sports Radio.
