Rick Neuheisel CBS Sports will join us. He says, 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: somebody from Ohio States Receiving Corps has tested positive and 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: an assistant coach has tested positive, but that game is 15 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: still on against Northwestern. Bill Plashky for the La Times 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: Around the Horn, we'll talk all things Los Angeles, including 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: USC football. Is Jerry West in trouble with the NBA 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: as they investigate whether or not there was a payoff 19 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: of helping deliver Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers, So we'll 20 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: have Plashki who will join us coming up a little 21 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: bit later. On your phone calls are always welcome. We 22 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: say good morning to our radio and TV partners, Chargers. 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: They beat the Raiders in overtime as Derek Carr out 24 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: with a groin injury. And who remember that Marcus Mariota 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: was with the Raiders and that seems like they paid 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: a lot for him, but seems like a pretty good signing. 27 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: Bring him in. He played well last night, so he 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: had two former Ducks in there, justin Herbert, who played 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: extremely well. Once again. Your college football weekend, Clemson, Notre Dame, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina has been canceled due to COVID. Yeah, I know. 31 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: Oregon USC is tonight, Northwestern Ohio eight that's a noon 32 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: start Saturday. Oklahoma and Iowa State. James Hardened trade teams expanding. 33 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Although Polly said Polly saw it on the bottom line, 34 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: the crawl on ESPN had said Harden and then expanding, 35 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: and we thought that was a little insensitive by ESPN 36 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: to say Harden's expanding. I couldn't believe someone would post that. 37 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: I just was watching out the court of my eyes. 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: I see Harden expanding like that's cold blood and it it 39 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be a new scroll. Yeah, that's mean, but 40 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: Hardened expanding his trade his teams that he could be 41 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: traded for. I pready mean, I wouldn't post that Hardened 42 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: expanding on him. Wow, whoa, whoa, that's mean spirited by 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: the mothership there.

That's what this weekend's all about. 52 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: The eye test. Playoff committee will be watching closely to 53 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: see not only who wins, but how they win, how 54 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: much do they win by or how do they lose. 55 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: I check with my college football source and they said, 56 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: can Notre Dame lose its way out of the final 57 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: four this weekend and my source said only a loss 58 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: greater than Alabama A and M. That margin between A 59 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: and M and Alabama. That was the first week in October. 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: Alabama beat Texas A and M, who was number five 61 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: in the country at the time, fifty two to twenty four. 62 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: My source says that's the only way Notre Dame would 63 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: drop out of the Final four if they got blown 64 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: out by a big score like that. My source said, 65 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: keep in mind, Notre Dame beat North Carolina by fourteen. 66 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: North Carolina annihilated Miami, plus they beat Clemson and hard 67 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: to erase those so the only way Notre Dame would 68 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: drop out as if they get blown out in this 69 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: game against Clemson. Clemson is favored by a little more 70 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: than ten points, but the Irish can lose still stay 71 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: in the Final four. Alabama against Florida, it feels like Alabama, 72 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: even with the loss, is going to stay in there. 73 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: Ohio State is in with a win. It wouldn't hurt 74 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: if they had a convincing win against Northwestern in the 75 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Big Ten title game. Everyone else needs help. Iowa State 76 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: blowing out Oklahoma would be a good start, but not 77 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: exactly sure what the committee considers with its eye test here. 78 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: What's A and M able to do against Tennessee that's 79 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: going to impress the committee? But it feels like we're 80 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: going to be arguing about this comes Sunday when they 81 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: issue the final rankings with the final four. This program 82 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: brought to you by Master Class.

Go to Masterclass dot com slash Patrick Masterclass 95 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: dot com slash Patrick Yes Paulli. What if Ohio State 96 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: on a neutral field has a hard time with Northwestern? 97 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: Kind of like the Indiana game where it comes down 98 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: to the buzzer. Could Ohio State have a bad showing 99 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: and a win and somehow not make it. Would that 100 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: like a would a bad showing take them out or 101 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: as a win a win? I think a win is 102 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: a win for them because they haven't budged. They've only 103 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: played one game since November twenty first, and we've seen 104 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: where other schools haven't played, or maybe they played one game, 105 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: they've dropped in the standings. It feels like Ohio State 106 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: is in there with a win. I don't know if 107 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: a m can do anything to get in there. Iowa 108 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: State can do anything to get in there. And they've 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: kept Cincinnati far enough on the outside that you know, 110 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: even with a win over Tulsa, they're not going to 111 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: get in. You know, some of these other schools usc 112 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: like they're they're just it feels like the committee is 113 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: set that this is the final four and if you win, 114 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: you take care of business. You're in Ohio State. If 115 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: Notre Dame loses but doesn't get blown out, they'll stay in. 116 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: Alabama could still lose, but they're going to stay in. 117 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: But if Florida wins, you know, that's the interesting part. 118 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: If Florida beats Alabama, and Alabama's favored by seventeen eighteen 119 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: points here, but I don't know if Florida could somehow 120 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: get in there if they had a really really impressive 121 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: game performance. By the way, the over under Alabama and 122 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: Lourda seventy four and a half not a basketball game. 123 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Oh I love that. I love that, And it could 124 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: come down to the Heisman is decided between Mac Jones, 125 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Trask Davante Smith. See I looked at Smith and said, 126 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: if not that Nick Saban's going to do this, but 127 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: if you feature him the way Michigan did Charles Woodson 128 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: or Michigan did Desmond Howard, there is a chance. There 129 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: is a chance Davante Smith at worse would get an 130 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: invite for the Heisman. But there is a chance, and 131 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: hopefully people haven't you placed their votes yet. I'm waiting. 132 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm waiting until all the games are over on Sunday. 133 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: Got my ballot, but I want to see because if 134 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: he's the difference, or if he has, you know, he'll 135 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: he'll take kicks, back, punts back. Obviously a very good wide, 136 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: great wide receiver, But it could come down to just 137 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: the winning quarterback between Alabama and Florida is going to 138 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: win the Heisman Trophy. Yes, McLevin, I'm sorry to bring 139 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: up system quarterback on a Friday, but oh, this is 140 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: the system. I mean. Is Devade Smith even better than 141 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: the other wide receivers at Alabama over the last two years? 142 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: And is Mac Jones any different than Kyle Trask. It's 143 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: it's how he determine which is which. So now you're 144 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: on system receivers, from quarterbacks to system receivers. Well, look 145 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: at Alabama. Their receivers catch a ball, there's not a 146 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: defender within twenty yards. They've schemed up something crazy there, 147 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: I mean, makes circus catches. But he might not be 148 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: the best of those four. Did you do this with 149 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: l I shoot, did you say those worst system while? 150 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: Oh you did. I didn't hear that. You get it. 151 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: You said, how can you tell Joe Burrows? You said 152 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: he's going through a worst team the following year. But 153 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: after Daddy that he did at Alice, you know, I said, 154 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: he has much talent as any quarterback I've seen. Yeah, 155 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: but that didn't mean they had system wide receivers. Well, 156 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: at some point you can only cover, you can't. There 157 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: were about eight guys on that ALSU offense. You had 158 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: a double team. So the point is like everybody helps 159 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: each other. Same with Alabama. DeVante Smith is pretty special. 160 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's better than Rugs a Waddle 161 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: who got hurt, Jerry Judy. I don't know, but these 162 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: are pretty special special wide receivers. I mean, who was 163 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: the wide receiver after Julio Jones in Alabama? Like, if 164 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: it was a system, then Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley is 165 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: nowhere near Julio Jones. It's not a bad answer at 166 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: to me. No, it's apecially, I'm gonna walk off. I 167 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: can't believe I pulled that name out. And I don't 168 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: even know if he was right after, it might have 169 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: been years later. Yeah, but he's a good wide receiver. 170 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: But you know it's like Alabama running backs. Do you say, well, 171 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: that's a system. They usually have a really good running back. 172 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: He's just not a really good running back in the NFL. 173 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: Although Josh Jacobs is real. You know, I watched the 174 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: game last night with the man. The Raiders should be good. 175 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: They got talent, got a great tight end. You're running 176 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: back is good, you got receivers, got a big offensive 177 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: line and there's something amiss there. And then you have 178 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: the Chargers. I mean, these were two teams that it 179 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: was a perfect fit that they would face each other 180 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: because they find ways to lose game, Like, how are 181 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: you going to find a way to lose a game? No, 182 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna top you. We're going to find another way 183 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: to lose this game. But the Chargers somehow got the 184 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: win over the Raiders and Justin Herbert playing great once again. 185 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: Here's Anthony Lynn, the Charger's head coach, on Justin Herbert 186 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: showing growth. He's doing it with young, young, young receivers 187 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: on the field, spraying the ball, moving, just doing everything 188 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: that he has to do to he plays alive in 189 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: extend plays, you know, and his eyes down to field. 190 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: He has legs and the athletic abilities of runn It's 191 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: but I like it when he gets the boats our 192 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: receivers down the field. We worked those scramble drills a lot, 193 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: and that is a really dangerous play because that's the 194 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: play of the defense can't prepare for. And I thought 195 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: he held there really will today he did. He looked great. 196 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: He's far surpassed expectations here. He's thrown for twenty seven 197 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: touchdowns three hundred yards. Again, like he's putting himself in 198 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: a category, just category statistically with some really really good quarterbacks, 199 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: including Andrew Luck. Now Baker Mayfield has the single season 200 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: rookie record at twenty seven. Justin Herbert should pass that. 201 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: But Terry Bradshaw was gushing about Justin Herbert last night, saying, Marino, Elway, 202 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and that's heavy stuff to throw in there. 203 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: Would I would caution Terry to throw him, you know, 204 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: throw in those names, put them all in a hopper 205 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: here and go. You're right in there with Elway, Well, 206 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: Elway wasn't very good as a rookie. Andrew Luck, I 207 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: believe was good as a rookie. Dan Marino was pretty good. 208 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: But you're throwing him in there, I'd wait a little 209 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: bit because he might have thrown Baker Mayfield in there. 210 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: With twenty seven touchdowns. We thought, wow, that's a finished product, 211 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: and we found out that he's not a finished product. 212 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert looks good and the moment, there's no moment 213 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: that looks too big for him. And that's where I 214 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: want to see your composure. I want to see when 215 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: things go bad, what happens, What do you do you 216 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: throw an interception and then how do you come back 217 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: from that? By the way, the Raiders got down to 218 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: first and goal from the four yard line and they 219 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: got Marcus Mariotte in there, and I thought, okay, here 220 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: is your run pass option. He's had eighty eight yards rushing. 221 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: They have to be aware of him running or passing. 222 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: You run it twice up the middle, and then you 223 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: have an incomplete pass and I went, what are you 224 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: what are you doing? I want to utilize Marcus Mariotte? 225 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: And I go what is Gruden doing? And that really 226 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: summed up the Raiders season right there. I went, and 227 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: you get to the goal line, you're nineties six yards 228 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: and kick a field goal. That's who you are this year. 229 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: And they're a whole lot better. And please don't tell 230 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: me all the injuries. Tell me a team that doesn't 231 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: have injuries. I mean, come on. But those two were 232 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: meant to face each other, where we go, all right, 233 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: who's going to screw up and lose this game and 234 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: hopefully do it in dramatic fashion. And then it went 235 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: to overtime and I thought, oh boy, this is gonna 236 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: be spicy. Yeah, Paul I got a two part Chargers question. 237 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: All right, it's weird because they won last night, But 238 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: do you think that the Charger's head coaching job is 239 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: open a month or so from now? And how attractive 240 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: is it because of their roster quarterbacks? I think the 241 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: job is open going to be open. I mean, I 242 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: don't know the Chargers, and you know, hate speculating on 243 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: a job or somebody's future, but it feels like Anthony 244 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: Lynn has had his opportunity. The opportunity has passed him by. 245 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: They've lost in dramatic fashion. But I think it's first 246 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: of all, you don't have a passionate fan base. Imagine 247 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: if this would be Packers Steelers, you know, throw in 248 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: any other fan base, the Cowboys, like, they would be 249 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: yelling and screaming, they'd be mad. But you know, the 250 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: Chargers just sort of, you know, it's like a ship 251 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: in the night. You're like, okay, there they go. All right, 252 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: but they do have talent. And if I can go 253 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: in and I got a quarterback who will be in 254 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: his second year that rookie contract, you got weapons, you 255 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: got some defensive players. Yes, I think that's a very 256 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: very enticing job there. But you know, justin Herbert needs 257 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: just under three hundred yards in his last couple of 258 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: games to break the single season rookie record for passing yards. 259 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has that record, but Cam Newton was great, 260 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: Jamis was great, Carson Wentz, but Justin Herbert has a 261 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: chance to do that and will likely do that. He's 262 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: had seven three hundred yard passing games that surpasses Andrew 263 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: Luck for the most by rookie all time. So two 264 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: weeks left and he's within range. I mean, he could 265 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: have statistically the greatest rookie season a quarterback has had 266 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: in modern history. Yeah, mcclevin. Justin Herbert Camp asked, don't 267 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: mention Carson Wentz in the same sentence with him ever, 268 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: because he wants to be with that Luck marine. I 269 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: talk about a guy who looked like he was going 270 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: to be the next thing, Like, so you don't know, well, yeah, 271 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: there's injuries. You know, obviously with what happened to Carson 272 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: Wentz has never been scripted before where you go, oh, yeah, 273 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna be an MVP, You're gonna try to take 274 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: on two RAMS defenders, You're gonna have knee surgery and 275 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: never be the same. By the way, your backup is 276 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: going to come in and be the hero, and they're 277 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: gonna build a statue of him outside the stadium. Yeah, 278 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: of course, just as we expected, just as we scripted it. Right, 279 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: let's pull question. We're gonna go with him. We'll take 280 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: a break. I got Rick new Heisl joining us. New 281 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Heischol is the one who tweeted out Ohio State one 282 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: of their wide receivers is tested positive. I haven't seen 283 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: anything else. My source said that they have an assistant 284 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: coach who I don't want a name right now, who 285 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: has tested positive as well. I don't know what's happening 286 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: behind the scenes with Ohio State, but we'll talk to 287 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: new Heisl about that. With this game against Northwestern, Yes, mcclum. Oh, 288 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: just for clicks, can we put up who's most likely 289 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: to be an NFL MVP someday? Herbert to a Kyler Murray, 290 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or Baker Mayfield. You gotta put Baker in there? Sure? 291 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: Why not? It's Friday. I'm very lenient on Friday. Like 292 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm actually enjoying my conversation with Todd today. 293 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: We talked quite a bit this worry. Odd went to 294 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: the well topic the topic was Todd, Sun has some 295 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: minor knee surgery coming up this morning. We hope it's 296 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: minor knee surgery. So I I pulled down my pants 297 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: and showed Todd all of my don't. I wasn't prepared 298 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: for that. Todd goes, well, what's the incisions look like? 299 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: And I go, well, and I got these corduroys on it, 300 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: and I tried to roll on my path verbally to 301 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: kind of describe. Well, No, I said, they were just 302 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: little marks that they went in with the scope. I'm 303 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,479 Speaker 1: not complaining, Hey, but I was expecting it to be 304 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: more of a conversation and tell. So we were talking 305 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: about knee surgery, and I, of course am one of 306 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: the U leading experts on NAS. Nice imagery to take 307 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: it to the weekend. We're not complaining. Yeah, if your 308 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: wife was here, I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't 309 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: have said, well, this is what the INSI. I would 310 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: have been a little awkward. Yes, it would over but yes, 311 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: that's that was my nickname high school tenderline, beef tenderline. Um, 312 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm joking to that was okay, it could have Yeah, 313 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: I you know, I discouraged that. I don't like that. Yeah. 314 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: See that's what I thought, Steph Curry instead of Golden 315 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: Flow or whatever that that shoe is like golden Boy. Yeah, yeah, 316 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: golden Flow for a shoe. I still was laughing about that, 317 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: Steph Curry's new shoe from under Armour, Golden Flow.

By 322 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: the way, all right, let me take a break here 323 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: twenty after the hour. Rick Newlis will stir in it up. 324 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: We'll talk to him a few things. And is the 325 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: Auburn job a good job? That's open now? Is it 326 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: a good job some of these other, you know, other jobs. 327 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: Are we going to see some coaches who are going 328 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: to leave the current programs to go to some of 329 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: these other places? And passing the eye test? Does USC 330 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: get to get in on that eye exam? Do they 331 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: get to pass the test? They're only a three point 332 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: favorite against Oregon. This is one of those we talk 333 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: up USC and then all of a sudden Oregon wins Oregon. 334 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: Who comes in and it's like, hey, Washington can't play? 335 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: Whooll play? Oh we're good. It's like an episode of 336 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: the Bachelorette. Remember she left early, fell in love, and 337 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: then they had to bring in a new bachelorette.

Rick Neuheisel caught my attention with a 379 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: report a tweet that talked about the Ohio State and 380 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: one of their wide receivers is tested positive for COVID. 381 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: No names attached here. I followed up, tried to get 382 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: the name from my Big ten source, and then I 383 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: was told one of their assistant coaches as perhaps tested 384 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: positive as well. Rick new Heisl, CBS Sports college football 385 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: analysts of course, former college coach. All right, let's start 386 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: with Ohio State. What's going on with the COVID test here? Well, 387 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: as all great reporters do. Now that I'm on your 388 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: side of the tracks and the media, and I'm just probing, 389 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get inside information. A friend of 390 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: mine out in California who's very close to the program, 391 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: gave me that information. Didn't give me a name. So 392 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: I was asking Rick Piezo yesterday on Sirius XM who 393 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: it was. He did not give me any names either, 394 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: but did not say that it was a false rumor, 395 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: so we'll wait and see. The bigger question, not so 396 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: much for the Northwestern game, is will it be a 397 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: Big Ten rule that is, a twenty one day quarantine, 398 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: which would of course then keep him out of a 399 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: New Year's Day game? Should this have happened over the 400 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: course of this week, so that that's what we're trying 401 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: to divulge. We're not armchair quarterbacks, were armchair ophthalmologists this 402 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: weekend with the eye test here? So can Ohio State 403 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: win but hurt their chances by barely beating Northwestern? Like? 404 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 1: Is there a scenario where Ohio State could win and 405 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: not stay in the final four? I don't believe. So. 406 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: I think they're the darlings they have. I mean they were. 407 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: They were number two in the country without even having played, 408 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: right even when before the games were done this when 409 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: the announcement came back that the Big Ten was going 410 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: to be in the fray starting in late October, Ohio 411 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: State started getting into the rankings but without even having 412 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: played a game. So I think the Buckeyes are a 413 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: lock short of losing to Northwestern. If you were on 414 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: the committee, and I just said you privately, what is 415 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: your philosophy could you look at this and go, look, 416 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: we want the four best matchups, we want TV ratings, 417 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: we want you powerhouses in here, and whatever way it is, 418 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: however we do this, this is what we want to do. Like, 419 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: could that be the philosophy of the Playoff Committee without 420 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 1: them ever telling us that? From outside looking in, it 421 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: looks as if it is. Yeah, given the brand recognition, 422 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: now having known a lot of people on that committee, 423 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: and you know, not questioning their integrity in any way, 424 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: shape or form. The problem with the committee's directive is 425 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: they are asked to give us the four best teams, 426 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: and all of us growing up, realize that we want 427 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: the four more deserving teams, meaning that you've wanted on 428 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: the field of play. You can't ignore that, you know. 429 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: Let's let's just use Louisiana. They went to Iowa State 430 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: and beat them by seventeen points, and here they are 431 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: twelve spots behind with one loss, while Iowa State is 432 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: up there with two losses. Now we can all say 433 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: that on another day and given the improvement that we've 434 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: seen with Iowa State, we would probably pick Iowa State 435 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: to beat Louisiana if they played again. But the bottom 436 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: line is we saw the game, and the game told 437 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: us another thing. So ultimately, we've got a group of 438 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: five that's being locked out of this college football playoff, 439 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: and we've got some brands, you know, Allah the New 440 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: York Yankees that the television people are just in love 441 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: with and want to see continue to play. I've been 442 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: railing on this the last couple of days, and I'm 443 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: sure this audience is tired of hearing me talk about this. 444 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: So what is equitable for the schools like Cincinnati will 445 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: never play in the Final four? Coastal Carolina, BYU. You 446 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: can run down these schools, They're not going to be 447 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: in there. They're never going to allow them because they 448 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't be good for TV ratings. What is what is 449 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: the solution that makes sense for all involved here? Well, 450 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: I think there's a tweak that has to be done 451 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: in the regular season so the committee has more data 452 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: to make determinations. Obviously that was not possible this year 453 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: with COVID, But I think we need to see more 454 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: crossover games, more home and home games in you know, 455 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: it's looking at the schedules as they start to exist 456 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: five ten years down the road, I think we're going 457 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: to get more of that, but I think that's one 458 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: piece of it, and then the other pieces that I 459 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: think we have to go to eight and maybe sacrifice 460 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: the conference championship games because those games, I mean, we'res 461 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: Those are money grabs. No, those are money grabs. I 462 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: love what happened in the ACC as a one off 463 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: this year. Notre Dame's inclusion was a great thing, but 464 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: the way they went to one league rather than split divisions. 465 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: The Coastal has never actually gotten to the finish line right, 466 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: It's always been the Atlantic. I like one league, get 467 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: rid of the conference playoff games, and then we can 468 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: maybe take that weekend and create an eight team playoff 469 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: which always has a group of five representative, which will 470 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: give more inclusion to the Cincinnatis of the world. And 471 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: while it's it's a long shot that they're going to 472 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: do well and win it, I think we all love Cinderella. 473 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: Notre Dame stay in the ACC after they should. They should. 474 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: It'll be an interesting question how they would go about 475 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: keeping some of those relationships like with USC and Stanford 476 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: and such and a big ten rival, but they should. 477 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: This has been a huge success for them. I don't 478 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: know what the dollars and cents mean Dan in terms 479 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: of their NBC deal. It's all in the pot right now. 480 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: But this for Notre Dame football is a huge boon 481 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: in my mind. I check with my college football source 482 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: and they said, you know, Notre Dame loses, how much 483 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: can they lose by and then drop out of the 484 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: final four? And my source said, if it's an an 485 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: m loss to Alabama margin that was fifty two to 486 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: twenty four, could you see a scenario where Clemson blows 487 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: out Notre Dame? Any chance that Notre Dame falls out 488 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: of the top four. It would have to be a 489 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: significant blowout. I don't know that it has to be 490 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: the Ohio State Wisconsin blowout fifty nine, nothing that we 491 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: saw in twenty fourteen, but it would have to be 492 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: a significant blowout, and given the way Notre Dame has 493 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: played defensively, I can't imagine that happening. I think short 494 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: of anything just monumental the Irish air end. What else 495 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: intrigues you about this weekend that we should keep an 496 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: eye on? Oh I think you know the Florida game. 497 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: You know the fact that Florida only fell one spot. Why? Why? 498 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: Why is that shocking? Shocking? But I think they were 499 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: just I mean, well, they're trying to keep them had 500 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: to Georgia. They beat Georgia, but then the question is 501 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: why is Georgia there? Right two losses? There are teams 502 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: like you mentioned USC before we came back from the break. Now, listen, 503 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: the Trojans have in terms of game control, it's their 504 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: own fault. They have not looked dominant. It's I can 505 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: understand where the committee's coming from. But that's a brand 506 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: that's won eleven national championships. That's a brand that's sitting there. 507 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, it would move the needle in terms of 508 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: television sets, and yet they're getting absolutely no consideration. But 509 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: if the brand had competed for a national title in 510 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: the last three or four years, I think USC would 511 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 1: get far more love and they would be higher in 512 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: the rankings because we would go, hey, you know what, 513 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: last year they went to the final four, the previous year, 514 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: whatever it is. USC has not been relevant in a while, 515 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: and that's why they don't get the benefit of the 516 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: eye test, nor has the Pac twelve. This is good. 517 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: They have been to the College Football Playoff two years 518 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: in seven tries, and that is just where it sits. 519 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: But that's why we have to expand the playoff, because 520 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: that will tip the scales back a little bit more 521 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: evenly for recruiting purposes. It won't change that Clemson, Ohio State, 522 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: and Alabama are still winning the titles, but it will 523 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: change where all those recruits are going if there are 524 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: more spots to fill to get to the h to 525 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: get to the promised land of the College Football Playoff? 526 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: Is Auburn a good job? Auburn is a great job 527 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: from a money standpoint. I mean, only jus is gonna 528 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: get ten point eight here in the next twenty days, 529 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: you know that's that's a good deal, and have ten 530 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: more eight ten eight more coming? Why not keep him? 531 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: Like if I'm gonna if I have to pay you 532 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: that kind of money, I'm gonna keep you. It's like 533 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: a divorce, you know. It is it cheaper to just 534 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: get married you live on that side of the house. Exactly. Yeah, 535 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: this makes no sense. Uh. The only guy out there 536 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: that I believe would make sense. As you freeze and 537 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: obviously see they're a little bit concerned, you know that. 538 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: I guess that the people inside the program are worried 539 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: he might bring more view from the NCAA. Heck, they 540 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: hired Bruce Pearl. They hired Bruce Pearl. I mean he 541 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: was he was an nca purgatory and they hired him 542 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: and it worked out. They went to a final four. 543 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: To me, Hugh Freeze is the answer, because both Gus 544 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: mels On and Nick Saban tried to hire Hugh Freeze 545 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: to be their coordinator. They know what kind of coach 546 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: he is. Usually when the NCAA's looking at you, you've 547 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: done well, they just questioned why you've done well. So 548 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: maybe that would be a positive for for Auburn. Amen. 549 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: And I think it's also a story this year as 550 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: to where is the NCAA. I've not seen them be 551 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: part of this. They didn't have much in the way 552 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: of answers for eligibility, they didn't have much in the 553 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: way of answers for what should be the protocol. They 554 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 1: left everything up to the individual conferences and commissioners. And uh, 555 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,479 Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a very weird year for 556 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: that entity in Indianapolis. They're there, so say, we don't 557 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: know who they are, perfect like that is perfect. We 558 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: have no idea. We know they're there, but we don't 559 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: know what they look like Um I saw this. I 560 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: don't know if it was a report to be fair 561 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: to it, Urban Meyer Ucla no way. Well, I know 562 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: I thought of all people, knowing what you went through 563 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Way and their lack of commitment to their football program, 564 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: Urban would would not do well at UCLA. Well I can't. 565 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: Now they do now have a Buckeye as their athletic dram. 566 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: I know that Martin Jarman is there and they just 567 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: signed a huge deal that people aren't realizing is a 568 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: huge deal with that Jordan brand. The Nike thing that's 569 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: going now at UCLA got out from under armor and 570 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: now have the the Nike brand, uh and the Jordan 571 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: brand along with it. So that is a monster deal 572 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: for UCLA. But Urban no way. I think Urban's is 573 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: either done comfortable with Fox or if Brian Kelly takes 574 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: an NFL job, that would be where he would go. 575 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Well, he passed on Notre Dame yell long 576 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: time ago, and I think he wants to do over. 577 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: That's just my gut. I haven't talked Urban, I don't know, 578 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: but I'm throwing that out there just because I think 579 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: it's sexy. Wow. I like that one better than the 580 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: UCLA rumor.

The Covid reindeer wasn't feeling quite himself, and 592 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: when the doctor saw him, asked if he'd been near 593 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: the elves. All of the other reindeer, now we're being 594 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: contact traced, if they had been with route Off into quarantine, 595 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: they'd be placed. Santa, of course, was quite concerned Christmas 596 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: might be a bust, so he asked the CFP, that 597 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: committee of thirteen learned individuals to get opinions he could 598 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: trust Santa now felt much better. Losing Christmas isn't really 599 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: a shame. Heck, he could still be Santa without even 600 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: playing a game.

It 634 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: would have gone to three twenty five if they had 635 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: won that game in overtime.

Masterclass dot com Slashpatrick Masterclass dot com Slashpatrick. 641 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: People accuse me of trying to show Derek carrd the 642 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: door and let's go back to Oakland. When they were 643 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: into Oakland going to Vegas, I wondered if they were 644 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: going to try to make a big splash. Now. I 645 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: had a source tell me that John Gruden had his 646 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: eye on a quarterback in the draft and really loved 647 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: that quarterback. They stayed with Derek Carr, and Derek Carr 648 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: is a good quarterback and has had a good season here. 649 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: It just I'm not quite sure what I'm missing there, 650 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: because I think he is a He got injured last night, 651 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: and then I started to wonder, he's doing forty million 652 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 1: dollars over the final two seasons of his contract. Okay, 653 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: now he's twenty nine. The Raiders could cut him next 654 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: offseason and they would take only a two and a 655 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: half million dollar dead cap hit. I don't know if 656 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota is the answer. I do like Mariota. I 657 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: think what we saw last night was more indicative of 658 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: what he was like when he won the Heisman Trophy. 659 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: A dual threat put pressure on the defense arm legs, 660 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: and he did not do that, you know, in Tennessee. 661 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 1: For whatever reason, he just seemed tentative. What I saw 662 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: last night was maybe what he should have been and 663 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: maybe can still be. I don't know if that's Let's 664 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: say the Raiders end the way they do, They're they're 665 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: in line to get a high draft pick, and would 666 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: they invest at in a quarterback. You have Mariota for 667 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: one more year, you want to keep Derek Carr for 668 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: two more years at forty million dollars. John Gruden doesn't 669 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: do well with quarterbacks. John is always in love with 670 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback that he doesn't have, and you know, maybe 671 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: he's satisfied with Derek Carr. And but I just I 672 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: just wanted to at least look at this as a 673 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 1: possibility for the Raiders, because if you can get a 674 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: quarterback on a rookie deal, that's what it all comes 675 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: down to. Every team looks at a five year window. 676 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to draft a quarterback I mean that's why 677 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, if they're on the clock and they have 678 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: a chance to get a quarterback who can come in 679 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: and play right now for a team that's built to 680 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: play and win right now, then would they take a quarterback. 681 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: The Bengals won't be in the market for a quarterback. 682 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: The Jags are going to be in the market for 683 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback. The Jets will be in the market for 684 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: a quarterback. You're looking for that quarterback because once I 685 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: get that, now I can exhale. You know. The Chargers, 686 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: I mean Chargers found gold here because they can now 687 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: use money that will eventually go to Justin Herbert. They 688 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: can spread it around and maybe build themselves a quality team, 689 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: a playoff team, a potential super Bowl team. That's what 690 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,479 Speaker 1: you're looking for Miami, the same way did they find 691 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: it into a The Bengals are on the clock. They 692 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,479 Speaker 1: have now four or more years with Joe Burrow before 693 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to pay one hundred and fifty million 694 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: dollars or whatever the going rate is right now. Detroit's 695 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: looking at this. I would try to if I got 696 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: to take her on. Matthew Stafford. If I'm Atlanta and 697 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to have a high draft pick. Now Carolina 698 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: is going to be up there and have an opportunity 699 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 1: for a high draft pick. There are quarterbacks that you 700 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: can sign in the off season. There are quarterbacks you 701 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,720 Speaker 1: can draft. I want a draft one unless my team 702 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: is ready to win right now, and I bring the 703 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: quarterback in and it's Matthew Stafford or Matt Ryan. Like 704 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: San Francisco. If you said the Niners get Matthew Stafford 705 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: or they get Matt Ryan, that's an upgrade, a significant 706 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: upgrade in my opinion over Jimmy Garoppolo. But these other teams, 707 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: would the Raiders explore that, you know, have Mariota for 708 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: one more year, take a quarterback, let him sit, let 709 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: him learn. You know, Zach Wilson at BYU, Trey Lance 710 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: at North Dakota State. If these guys are legitimate, because 711 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if they are. I'm being told they are, 712 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 1: but I don't know that. But I just wondered about 713 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: that with the Raiders, that you have a team that 714 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: I think has a young nucleus there, and is Derek 715 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: Carr the guy that you want as your quarterback there? 716 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: This in from Drew Adam Schefter. Drew Brees will be 717 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,720 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback against the Kansas City Chiefs. Saints believe 718 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: he's fully healthy and doctors have cleared him to play. 719 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: That's big news. But they believe that he is fully 720 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: healthy and so he's been cleared to play against Kansas 721 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Yeah, Paul, quickly back to Car, would that be? 722 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: You know, Car's got good numbers, some of the best. 723 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 1: He's having really good numbers, not big numbers, but good numbers. 724 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: Is it almost like what Kansas City did a few 725 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 1: years ago? They had a good quarterback and Alex Smith 726 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: dan Orlovsky just tweeted getting that number one seed is 727 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: more important than somebody's full health. So maybe not buying 728 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: in that Drew Brees is actually fully healthy to play. 729 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll talk to Jesse Palmer from the mother 730 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: Ship
