Speaker 3: So?

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: Week zero? How can you have week zero? It's week one? Like,

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: what are we doing? How is there a week zero

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: when it's really week one? And it walked me through

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: this makes no sense. Week zero even feels the value.

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: They're like, it's a week zero, you know, like just

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 4: make a week one, make it a big thing. I'm

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: at least glad that we get one ranked team and

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: the Dublin experience is gonna be incredible. But this is

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: this is sort of like the appetizer, Let's be honest, right,

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 4: Like I'm like, we're all salivating for next perise.

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: Maybe the appetizer. It's like the uh.

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 4: Oh, what's it called? When you when you're in the

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: restaurant and the the like the fancy place and the

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: chef just sends out the little thing that you're like, hey,

32
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: I didn't order this, but they send it out anyway.

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: It's a little one byte thing. It's that that. It's

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: the one BikeE. It's the one bite getting you're ready

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: for the entire like slate of games. And you're right,

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: not for nothing. I think bread, Oh oh, how much?

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: How much bread? Is too much?

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: Bread?

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: Too?

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: Like you can't with the bread before the meal.

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: You can't you know the last time I had bread, Dude,

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: Like I don't even know what to do, Like I

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: have a hoss up on that bread. Like give me

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: all the breads and all the dipping sauces. And that's

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 4: that's Florida State here. Because I will tell everybody. I

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: think it's important to note Florida State comes in still

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: with the chip on their shoulder. Florida State comes in

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 4: still angry about what happened last year. But Florida State

49
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: comes in with the reimagined roster, Like they lost several

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: Playton players to the NFL, so all of a sudden,

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: they're going to really have to prove that they are

52
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 4: sustainably Florida State at this point that they are back.

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: Mike Norvella, I think has a little sneaky amount of

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: pressure this year to get something done in a just

55
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 4: junk acc so out of the gates. I'm interested to

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: see what they look like in Dublin.

57
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be uh it's you know where I

58
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: look at it. I just see a game, right, a

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: game that matters, and.

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 3: You know, that's what Week zero is all about.

61
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: Like it's just like it signifies the start, and you're right,

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: we'll get into your spot on about Florida State, but

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: it's a game that matters.

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: I actually love the name.

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: Because it's not really Week one, and I don't know

66
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: something about like zero, like zero is cool, Like I

67
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: don't know, I just always liked it, Like I just

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: think I like the whole thing, Like like I want

69
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: to expand week zero. I think week zero is a

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: great name that could be expanded and become even bigger.

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: You have lost your mind, good sir, because weeks are

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: like nobody says you go from one to a hero,

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: You go from a zero to a hero. Right Like,

74
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: there's just this point for me where week zero feels

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: like it's almost an accident. You know we're not counting

76
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: this one guy.

77
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: It's just a.

78
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: Little teaser here. Yeah, for me, exact, I love the

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: expansion of it. Just make it week one, you know,

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: let's just be honest about it here.

81
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: Well, well, examine it real quick, real quick. Zero right

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: like zero and counts zero dark thirty like zero.

83
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: It's got a it's got like a there's something about

84
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: like I don't look at it as a negative.

85
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: I almost look at it like it's it almost feels

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: almost I don't.

87
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: Know, exotic zero dark thirty might be changing my mind,

88
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: Like I guess you're right. There is a level of

89
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: like suddenly I'm like, oh, that doesn't.

90
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 3: Like you understand where I can't convey it.

91
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: It just to me, I look at it almost like

92
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's uh, sounds so stupid. But like,

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's like military, it's it's oh my god, zero,

94
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: it's you know, zero counting.

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 2: I almost view it as the dumbest thing in the world.

97
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous conversation. But I love I think I take

98
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: a completely different connotation.

99
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: Can I Can I tell you what I'm excited about today,

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: though not just because we're all sitting there talking about

101
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: like Florida State Georgia Tech. Game's gonna be in Dublin.

102
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: I got a bunch of friends that are over in

103
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: Dublin now going actually have some friends that were just

104
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: passively going to Dublin and are now going to the game.

105
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: So like this, the environment's gonna be incredible. All the

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: TV shows today are gonna be incredible, Like it's gonna

107
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: be awesome. What I'm genuinely looking forward to on the

108
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: East Coast tonight is about nine to fifteen at night

109
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: when I realize I'm sitting back watching SMU take on

110
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: Nevada and just feels right. Things just just gonna feel

111
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 4: right when it's nine or ten at night on the

112
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 4: East Coast on a Saturday night, and I don't have

113
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 4: to sit there and pretend that I want to watch

114
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: another episode of Law in Order that I've already seen

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: fifty two times. I'm just gonna have SMU Nevada on

116
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: in the background, and I'm just gonna be able to

117
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: sit there and bask in the glory of knowing, realizing.

118
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 4: From here on through the rest of the year, I

119
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 4: don't have to actually think all on a Saturday or

120
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: a Sunday. My life is so easy. Now just turn

121
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 4: on a TV. From the minute I wake up, I

122
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 4: had every TV, every of the fifty two damn TVs

123

Speaker 4: all day. My electricity bill's gonna go through the roof

125
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: and they're all gonna have different football games on it.

126
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 4: That's that's that is. I find such peace in ut That's.

Speaker 2: That is so right, so right, And you know, I

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: look at it the same way, which is like it's

130
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: it man, It's on like you know, Labor Day weekend.

131
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: We know what that's about. And then the NFL and

132
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: the NFL this year, I have to admit, I'm like

133
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: crazy that my squad is the Friday and playing from Brazil.

134
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: But I love it. I love a Friday.

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: Oh, like a Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday.

136
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's awesome.

137
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: Well, and even this, when I think about what today means,

138
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 4: it means the start of even more because you mentioned

139
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 4: the NFL sleep. But let's be real. This coming Thursday,

140
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: there is a full slate of college football games. Now

141
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 4: a bunch of them are you know, they're they're they're fine,

142
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: they're fine, they're whatever. But like Thursday, Friday, Saturday, like

143
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: when the Fellas hits the air a week from today, Yeah,

144
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: we'll be talking games all through the weekend. We're about

145
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: to have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday of college football games.

146
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: And that's just man, that's just hits different. There's just

147
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: something about it that that hits different. And it reminds

148
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: us how long we've been waiting for this, because we

149
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: haven't had just the normal slate of Saturday and Sunday

150
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: are covered and we don't have to think of college

151
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: football in the NFL since what December? Right, Like, so

152
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: you know you think about how long that actually is.

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: That's why for all the time that every show spends

154
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: just lamenting whatever's wrong with the NBA, whatever's wrong with

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: the NHL, whatever's wrong with Major League Baseball. I would

156
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 4: just remind everybody that there's one core thing that simply

157
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: makes football different and then it's and that's this that

158
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: it's just now August and we're finally getting to the

159
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: spot where like if you if you just love regular

160
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: season college football in the NFL, you haven't had this

161
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: since the end of November, honestly, like where you've had

162
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: both sports Saturday Sunday. That's a long time to just

163
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: sit there and miss her, you know, like, that's a

164
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: long time to just sit there and be like, God,

165
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: I just I just wander back. I want her back

166
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 4: in my life. Well, what's happening this weekend?

167
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: That's a that's a great point because it's my favorite

168
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: time of the year. I it's not even close the

169
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: first of all, you know, it all in all September,

170
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: legionto October and the confluence of all four sports, but

171
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: knowing that you have football, NFL and college football together

172
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: is really the greatest.

173
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: It's it's funny.

174
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: It's the one sport where I don't think the playoffs

175
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: are that much better than the regular season, Like obviously

176
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, you know, the title games.

177
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: I get it right.

178
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: But the game, the regular seasons themselves have so much

179
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: meaning to them that they're so heightened that every game

180
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: matters so like, so it's why each week is so

181
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: important that I hate rushing through the season. Like listen,

182
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: we're in baseball and I love baseball, right, you know that,

183
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: Like we talk about this right around now, it's like,

184
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: all right, man, like let's get to like October, right,

185
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: like thinking about from that sport, it's like it's season

186
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: is so long, Like it's amazing that there is another

187
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: five weeks to go in MLB, and MLB has been

188
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: fun this year, like the game's move, the players are,

189
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: there's a lot of good, young talented players to watch.

190
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the game actually is a great I think

191
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: in a great spot, but it's so long. It's like,

192
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: all right, you know, let's get to let's get to

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: the playoffs. NBA is the same way, Like what.

194
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: You hit.

195
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: January and February and it's an all star game, You're like,

196
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: all right, we still got how much still the playoffs start?

197
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: How long we got to go for the playoffs? Hockey?

198
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: Same thing, I mean, you say it.

199
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: It's it's interesting too, because it is the one sport

200
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: that I think honestly translates the same too. We all

201
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: know playoff baseball's wildly different, playoff basketball, wildly different. Playoff hockey.

202
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: My god, get one hot goldie, you can suddenly find

203
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 4: yourself in the cup. Playoff football is just a heightened

204
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 4: version of what we've already seen all year. Like when

205
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: you get chief spills in Week ten. Yeah, chief spills,

206
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: I'm making that up. That's not the actual week. But

207
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, a regular season chief spills

208
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: game versus a playoff chief Spills game, maybe it's a

209
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 4: little bit more amplified, but it's not a completely different

210
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 4: game that you're watching. And I think that's the case

211
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: in almost every other The playoff version of every other

212
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: sport is so different. So it just makes it feel

213
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: different when you watch these things in the regular season

214
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 4: because the regular season stills valued. Every other sport has devalue.

215
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 4: The regular season Football simply hasn't, and I and it

216
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: simply won't. There just aren't enough games for any of

217
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: it to lose its value.

218
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: Dude, that's so spot on.

219
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: The playoffs are so different in those all the sports,

220
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: and that's why. And also, don't you love like you

221
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: talk about being in the sports bar with all the games,

222
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: the volume. You love the volume. We love the fact

223
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: that there's like I get depressed with the playoffs because.

224
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: The schedule shrinks, you know.

225
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: I love the fact that I could I got Thursday

226
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: if you just looking at NFL right Thursday, and then

227
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 2: you know all day Sunday early, you know, afternoon night, Monday.

228
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I love the Monday doubleheaders. So like there's

229
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: this rhythm to it where there's a lot of games.

230
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: The playoffs, it may be heightened, but it's sparse, Like

231
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: you look around and other than that, the first weekend,

232
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: which is great, all of a sudden, you know, by

233
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 2: the championship weekend you got two games and you're like,

234
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: damn that. I always hate the feeling of that championship

235
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: weekend Saturday when there's no football for the first time.

236
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: It's the opposite of like Week zero, right, Like that

237
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: Saturday of Championship weekend there's no football for the first time.

238
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: It's it is funny when you talk about that, because

239
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: as much as I absolutely love every single Sunday, one

240
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: thing about Sundays that always just bums me out as

241
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: a Raiders fan is that the majority of the slate,

242
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: especially early in the year, is always the one o'clock

243
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 4: games on the East Coast. So you go, you sit

244
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 4: in the bar one o'clock game. The vibes are just electric, right,

245
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 4: everybody's rooting for Somebody starts cheering in the corner. You

246
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: look over, You're like, oh, the Browns. Something happened in

247
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 4: that game. Like it's electric. And then at four o'clock

248
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: on the East Coast, particularly, the bar kind of empties

249
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: out and you're left with ten percent of the crowd

250
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: you used to have because there's only three games at

251
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: four twenty five, and they don't have as many people

252
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: there that care, and everybody's been drinking all day, so

253
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: they all sort of go home, and that vibe just

254
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: gets a little sad. Sometimes you're like, man, I wanted

255
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: everybody to stay and watch me yell at the Raiders game,

256
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?

257
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that makes sense to me.

258
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: Like it it just sort of empties out the vibeusiness.

259
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 4: That's why I prefer watching the four o'clock games at

260
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 4: home most of the time, because I just the vibe

261
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 4: isness is electric out. You're right that having a slate

262
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: of games where it's just all of the games have

263
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: everybody living that high at once. Is one of the

264
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 4: beautiful things about watching football on Sundays in the bars,

265
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 4: Like the slate of action is great. And one thing

266
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: that's great about every like, especially if you're in a

267
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: place that you know, dabbles in the art of gambling.

268
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: You go out on a Saturday, my god, Like every

269
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 4: college football bar is packed because people have money on everything.

270
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: So it's just it's so electric when you get that

271
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: many games at once that are all wildly important to

272
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 4: each fan base. It's not just a let's sit back

273
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: and have some nachos. And if the Red Sox Yankees

274
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: game happens to be on the background, that's cool. Like,

275
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 4: it hits much differently when it's somebody passionately sitting there

276
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: saying Florida State's national championship playoff hopes are on the line.

277
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: You know, it just it makes it more electric.

278
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you're way more locked in.

279
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: Like I went, like my father was in town and

280
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: we went out to get a bit to eat and

281
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: watch the Phillies game. It was Wednesday night, and yeah,

282
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, like and it was a good game.

283
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: It was Philly's Brave. So the game mattered for the division.

284
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: But you know, like you're there and you know there

285
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: was a the bar was there and people were having

286
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: a bite and the game was on, but it was

287
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: completely background.

288
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you were watching it, but you're not locked in.

289
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: You're talking.

290
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: It's football. You are laser focused and you really only

291
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: talk to one the commercials, which is I.

292
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: Prefer That's never a doubt. Like I'm just imagine, especially

293
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: you know Anthony, like Anthony Gargano, like the consummate Italian,

294
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 4: you know, just we give you the shirt off his back.

295
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: Just great dude that just loves talking and catching up

296
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: on life the minute the Eagles game is on. I'm

297
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: just imagining the glare that comes across the table when

298
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: somebody's sitting there running their yapp or during the middle

299
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 4: of the game.

300
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Prather, you have no idea.

301
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: I hate when people talk door to game, like talk

302
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: about other stuff other than the game. You know, I

303
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: don't want to hear about like the game's not theft

304
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: like the background. So I don't care about your week

305
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: right now, all right, if you must during the commercial

306
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: not doing the game, man, I don't want to agree hash.

307
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to catch up. I don't want to

308
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: just watch the game talk about the game. I'm in

309
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,600

00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 4: to something. We're like, no, we talked about it during

314
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: the Raiders game. And I'm like, that's got to stop.

315
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: Like that's just there's no way, Like, don't talk to

00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: It's interesting, Uh, my producers in the early twenties and

326
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: and you know, I constantly am on them for the

327
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: etiquette of football, right like a producer in Philadelphia, and

328
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: I'll always talk about the etique like of just being

Speaker 2: a sports fan. There's a lot of you know, just

330
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,800

Speaker 2: The fall is obviously a big social time, So there's

372
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: a couple of things a play here.

373
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: One anything that is not.

374
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: Vital and I'm talking you know, christenings, weddings, right, Like

375
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: I prefer that you do your due diligence and get

376
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: married on a bye week, But like I do understand

377
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: that you know, the fall is a long.

378
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: Period of time.

379
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: So anything that is trivial, like all due respect to

380
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: the baby reveal, that does not belong on a Sunday

381
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 2: in the fall.

382
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: It just does.

383
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: Look. Look, I'm just gonna come with the most controversial

384
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: take as a guy with no kids. I really don't

385
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: care what gender your baby is. I just don't. I

386
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: don't need a video. I don't need exploding blue or

387
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 4: pink things. I don't need a party on that like that.

388
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: You know what they always say in the corporate world.

389
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: That could have been an email, could have been a text.

390
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: It's a boy. Awesome now I know what to get you, like,

391
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: I just I just don't. I don't need to have

392
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: a big gathering where everybody gets dressed up and you know,

393
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: you you suddenly shock the world with your elaborate scheme

394
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: to tell us what gender your baby is. I'm going

395
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: to spend the next you know, roughly eighteen years around

396
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: the kid. We'll figure out what gender it is. I

397
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 4: just don't need I don't need any of it. I

398
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: don't need any of that as part of my life.

399
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 4: So if you're giving me a gender reveal party and

400
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 4: the Raiders have a significant game, I'm not going like

401
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: that's just and that's okay, Like you should understand that

402
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 4: about me, I should understand that about you. It's fine.

403
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 4: It's fine, dude.

404
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: That's a just right. It should not be controversial take

405
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: at all. In fact, it's right, Like, here's what I

406
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: wish for you, that you have a healthy baby.

407
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 3: All right, amen? Amen, that's it, all right.

408
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: So whatever this gender revealed nonsense that has coming to

409
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: the forefront of society. It's the most bizarre thing in

410
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: the world, right, I mean, you got two choices, right, It's.

411
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: Not like it's just ridiculous. It's just so ridiculous.

412
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: And these people who are having parties during this NFL Sunday, like,

413
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: are you out of your mind?

414
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 4: Like no, so, like I mean, if we're being honest,

415
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 4: I don't really like I don't really want to give

416
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 4: you my money that many times on it like like

417
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 4: it just feels like this is all a ploy. It's

418
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: all a ploy to get an extra gift, right, Just

419
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 4: hit me up for the extra gift. Just be like, hey, man,

420
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 4: give me two things off the registry. I respect that

421
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 4: at least be like, Okay, I got you, I got

422
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 4: you boo. But like the going to a gender revealed

423
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: party and then there's still gonna be a baby shower.

424
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: Then it's just it's just too much. It's too much.

425
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: I just way too much. Honestly, it's out of control.

426
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: What's going on here, completely out of control, Like you know,

427
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: the shower should be abolished.

428
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: I mean I'm talking about the wedding shower.

429
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't think you were talking about actual

430
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: showers because like, let's face it, you've been around enough,

431
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 4: you have teenage boys. There's there's no ways, there's no

432
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 4: way that you're you're eliminating showers from life.

433
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: Oh, speaking of that, you know what, I don't know

434
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: what you guys call it? What do you call a

435
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: sandwich that is with traditional lunch meat and uh, lettuce

436
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: and onion and tomato.

437
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: It's just which is a sub?

438
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: So you call it a sub? Right?

439
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: In Philadelphia we called a hogi, right, And the name

440
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: hogi just kind of connotes like a smell to it,

441
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: like it's you know, there's onions and it's you know,

442
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's a.

443
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 3: It's a good smell.

444
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: Right, You're hungry and you go into a Hogi shop

445
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: type of thing and you go, oh, right, you know

446
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: it's good, But that Hogi smell is not good on

447
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: a human.

448
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: Being Oh my god, raw onions don't smell good on.

449
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:45,639

570
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: talked about Florida State and Georgia Tech from Dublin. Then

571
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: at four o'clock FS one, Tanta State, New Mexico, And

572
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: just in case you're wondering, Montana State is a fourteen

573
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: point favorite, the total fifty four and a half. Cantu

574
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: and Nevada, like you said, primetime eight o'clock CBS Sports

575
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: Network SMU of course a big favorite, lay twenty seven.

576
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: And then if I don't know if this game is

577
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: on television, but apparently there's a line on it because

578
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now in ESPA, Delaware State,

579
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: Hawaii at midnight, I can't find where it's on Hawaii's

580
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: forty and a half.

581
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: Colley. And the sad thing is that, like there's a

582
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 4: part of me that just kind of wants to tonight marathon.

583
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,680

584
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 4: I can find that Hawaii game on at midnight, maybe

585
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,880

586
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: and sit back and see if I can make it

587

Speaker 3: North Dakota State. They're not bad.

650
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: You know, Perennial, They're a team that is always that

651
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: one double eight.

652
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: They're always around.

653
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: They give you a good Some good quarterbacks come out

654
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: of their Carson Wentz came out of their Easton Stick

655
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: came out of there.

656
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 4: So Easton Stick, No. Look, the funny thing is that

657
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 4: all eyes are gonna be on call. This is sort

658
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: of a known situation for Colorado out of the game,

659
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 4: right because if they come out and they struggle, even

660
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: just a little bit, people are gonna for a read

661
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: out trying to figure out what's wrong. Is Diona fraud

662
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 4: all these things?

663
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 5: You know.

664
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: Now you've got this controversy where the school has decided

665
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 4: not to let a particular reporter ask any more questions

666
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: for the rest of the year because Dion doesn't like

667
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 4: his tone, finds his reporting to be personally attacking. And

668
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 4: so you've got just this this sort of cloud over

669
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: everything where much like I think there are certain coaches,

670
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 4: Lincoln Riley is another one that you know, I don't

671
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 4: think Lincoln Riley has done much to ingraining himself into

672
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 4: la as we've talked about, like things better go really

673
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: right if you're Colorado this year. Fournate ain't gonna be

674
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 4: good enough. You've talked too much. Talk four Nate got

675
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 4: you a little bit last year of grace, but there

676
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 4: ain't gonna be any grace this year for Dion thea

677
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 4: ain't gonna be any grace for Colorado, and frankly, there

678
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 4: shouldn't be. You can't talk that level of talk and

679
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 4: then just turn around and ask people to have patients

680
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 4: in a program that that's just not gonna happen. So

681
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 4: they don't just have to win. They gotta come out

682
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 4: and they gotta look like one of the best, one

683
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: of the best teams in the country out of the gates.

684
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: I mean, it was pretty amazing last year.

685
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: The Buffalo's the Colorado phenomenon. Man, you remember early on

686
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: how big it was. Oh my god, I mean it

687
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: was like the odd stole college football for the first

688
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: month of this season.

689
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 4: Well, and I remember, you know, last year doing videos

690
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 4: for y'all who Sports my other job, you know, and

691
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 4: we were doing reaction videos to all the college football action.

692
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 4: After two weeks of the season, we realized we had

693
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 4: to push everything back to include Colorado in it. Not because,

694
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 4: as people on Twitter like to say, you're shoving Colorado

695
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 4: down nfans. It's not that at all. It's that you

696
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 4: put Colorado in it and people clicked on it, right,

697
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 4: So which came first, the chicken or the eggs? So

698
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 4: I'm genuinely curious to see what the national level of

699
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 4: interest is this year for Colorado football. Is it the

700
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 4: same where everybody's paying so much attention to it that

701
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 4: a game like Colorado Colorado State's putting up historic numbers?

702
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

703
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bizarre. I guess it started. Let's relive

704
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 2: it for a second. So last year, it starts with

705
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: they got their schedule in front of me. That TCU game,

706
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: Remember that crazy game forty five forty two. They win,

707
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: and it was like, wow, they up and they upset

708
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 2: TCU and the thriller.

709
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 3: Then they breath.

710
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: Then they beat Nebraska thirty six fourteen, and then they

711
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 2: they beat uh, Colorado State in overtime. So then it's

712
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: they're three and oh and then they get then at

713
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: Oregon just lays it like a can on them.

714
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: Uh.

715
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: Then they lose to to USC forty eight forty one,

716
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: and then we realized that USC's defense was not good.

717
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: Right right, and that that's the funny thing about that is,

718
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 4: like there's a a level as you just laid it out,

719
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: Like the hardest part early in the year is trying

720
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 4: to figure out who's good and then where their opponents are,

721
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 4: Like was this really good or is that team just

722
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 4: really bad?

723
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 5: Right?

724
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 4: And USC's defense being just a joke, abysmal, being absolutely

725
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 4: just an abomination what other words, gonna like USC's defense

726
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 4: just being a whole barrel of suck definitely changed the

727
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 4: way that that was perceived, you know.

728
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Then they beat Arizona State, which is no good.

729
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: They beat then they give up forty six to Stanford

730
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: in overtime. Then they lose, So they lose forty six

731
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: to forty three. They lose to UCLA, and they lose

732
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: to Oregon State. They lose to Arizona good game, they

733
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 2: lose thirty four to thirty one Arizona State. Washington State

734
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: buries them, Utah beats them close game, but beats them.

735
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: And that's kind of how it all fizzled out so quickly.

736
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 2: I don't I mean, there's a level to just how

737
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: good were they really? How good were they really? I

738
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 2: mean we remember at the time that they were kind

739
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 2: of like puffed up, you know.

740
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 4: I mean, the funny thing is we're sitting here saying

741
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 4: how good were they really, and then you look at

742
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 4: their record and the answer is they were bad. Like,

743
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 4: the funny thing here is that our expectations were so low.

744
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 4: And this is what we do for every sport, it's

745
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 4: what we do in life in general. But because Colorado

746
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 4: football has a history of being an absolute joke, the

747
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 4: fact that they were foreign eight and competitive suddenly irrelevant,

748
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 4: suddenly felt like something special. But if we're being honest,

749
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: Colorado was a bad team and a bad conference that

750
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 4: you know, right now, I don't have a lot of

751
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 4: reason to believe won't also still struggle.

752
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, And it's just bizarre how they became

753
00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: the story strictly because of you know, Dion and even

754
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: like even now, you know, the the banning of the reporter,

755
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 2: like thrust them back into the spotlight.

756
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 3: You know, it's like Colorado like they matter.

757
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 2: Wait, we wouldn't be talking about Colorado went all off

758
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 2: not for Dion.

759
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're right about all of that. And by

760
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 4: the way, like it doesn't sustain.

00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 4: He's got the fellow's coming. No, he ain't sleeping.

774
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: He made me.

775
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: You're probably right, but he's probably got you know, ESPN

776
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: on or Fox on low FX one, something like low.

777
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: The baby right now is probably sleeping on his shoulder

778
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: and he's in the in the chair in front of

779
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 2: the TV with one eye open the other eye closed.

780
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 3: That's how it is.

781
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: I hope we didn't listen to the part where I

782
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: said there are a lot of ugly babies, because you know,

783
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 4: I don't you know, we work together figures. Yeah, I

784
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 4: mean figure you're if you're listening now, your baby's beautiful.

785
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 4: There we go covered all my basis.

786
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: Well the best is like he's doing that right now.

787
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: And you talked about how all smells, including baby smell,

788
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 2: is gross, like you were like, it's all bad.

789
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not wrong, Like I'm out on I'm

790
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 4: out on most of these, like when people are like, oh,

791
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 4: I love the smell of puppies, Like now I'm just

792
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 4: sort of out on all of that, Like I don't know,

793
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

794
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: Well, we were talking about we started the show talking

795
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,479
Speaker 2: about football etiquette. We covered Colorado at the end there,

796
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 2: and I want to do get back to them a

797
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: little bit and we'll get through the tiers of college football.

798
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: But we were talking about a lot about football.

799
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: Etiquette, and this is this time of the year where

800
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 2: and I brought up the story that was that went

801
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: viral about a husband who gave his wife his two

802
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: weeks notice for football season, which was absolutely classic.

803
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 3: But it's indicative of how we.

804
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: View the fall and when our team plays. Like these

805
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 2: social things that we got going on, we're really separated

806
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: into two groups, football people and non football people. Like

807
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 2: non football people live in almost this oblivion right, like

808
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 2: they're completely clueless as to this whole world that exists

809
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: outside of them, and they don't understand. They look at

810
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: you like an alien if you say, well, no, I

811
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: don't want to meet you for a drink tonight or

812
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: whatever to talk when the game's on, Like they don't.

813
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: They're the people that are driving, go Wow, how come

814
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: there's nobody else on the road. Well, the game's on,

815
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 2: all right, and so everybody's home watching a game and

816
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 2: they have no concept of this. Like, I'm sure in

817
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 2: the music industry you found some people like this, right.

818
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 4: Almost everybody I toured with was like that, like just

819
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 4: didn't really like sports at all. The amount of people

820
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 4: when I was living on a tour bus that looked

821
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 4: at me so strange. When I was sett up a

822
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 4: mic to do a podcast at the time back in

823
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 4: what twenty twelve, twenty thirteen to do a podcast, and

824
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 4: it was like, I want to make it in sports,

825
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 4: and everybody's looking at me like what, Like all the

826
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 4: guys in the band, they had very little, if any interest,

827
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 4: and still have very little of any interest in sports.

828
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: Like most of my friends that I toured with in

829
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 4: on that project still don't really understand what I do

830
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 4: for a living. Like, so, you know, I think I've

831
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 4: been around more people that don't understand and understand sports

832
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 4: than do, you know, and I totally I think the

833
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 4: one thing for me about that, though, is that I've

834
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 4: never looked at looked at any of it judgmentally. My

835
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 4: thing is like, if you don't like football, cool, Like

836
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 4: I don't judge that at all. You don't have to

837
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 4: like football. You don't have to like country music, right,

838
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 4: you don't have to like the things that have impacted

839
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: my life. I just don't need you to, you know what,

840
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 4: all over the fact that I do like football, So like,

841
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 4: that's the part of it that I've always What I

842
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 4: don't get are the people that hate sports and they

843
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 4: want to vocally remind you cont how much they hate sports.

844
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 4: It's like that's just a lot of negative energy to

845
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 4: put towards something that most of the rest of the

846
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 4: world is enjoying. And I don't really like. I don't

847
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,479
Speaker 4: I would say I don't understand opera, but I could

848
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 4: not imagine going to an opera as a former classical musician.

849
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 4: I can't imagine sitting in an opera house and the

850
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 4: whole time saying this thing sucks. I don't know why

851
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 4: you guys gonna like this. I don't tell you. It's

852
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 4: just it makes no sense to me.

853
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: I know, I dude, I feel you. And there is

854
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: it's funny that subculture really does they and they hate

855
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: sports because it makes them feel almost ostracized, right, So

856
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 2: I think they lash out.

857
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 3: And it's not that anybody's ostracizing them.

858
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 2: It's more that sports has become such a phenomenon, right,

859
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: so big that if you're not into it, there is

860
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: something you know, all not off, but there's something that

861
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 2: you're missing, right, because most society is so you're on

862
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: the alps because you're not into it, and it's just

863
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 2: and I think it gives them like an attitude towards

864
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 2: sports people especially.

865
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 4: And that is yeah, well, I think because it's so prevalent, right,

866
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 4: it is right there, it's so impossible to if you

867
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 4: don't like football and you live, for example, in the South,

868
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 4: like you're screwed on Saturdays and Sundays. You just are

869
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 4: like it's it is harder and harder to find ways

870
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 4: to go places. And I've lamented this in the past

871
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 4: at times, like if I go to a really nice restaurant,

872
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 4: if I am laying out KSh if I'm putting the

873
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 4: bag out to go to dinner and there's a TV

874
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 4: in the restaurant playing a football game. That's a little

875
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 4: weird to me, But in the South, that's everywhere, right,

876
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 4: So like everywhere you go, it doesn't matter if you're

877
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 4: going to, you know, a Michelin Star type restaurant, there's

878
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 4: going to be a TV somewhere with whatever. The college

879
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 4: football game of the weekend is on. And I'm I'm

880
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 4: like sitting there thinking, I don't know, man, Like, if

881
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 4: this is a three hundred dollars dinner, I probably don't

882
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 4: need the football game. So I understand why people that

883
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 4: don't like it feel attacked by it because it's just everywhere.

884
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 4: But also, you know, just at that point, just figure

885
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 4: out a way to work around it.

886
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: You know, yesterday it was during work.

887
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: We stopped and I had some work people with me,

888
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: and we stopped into a bar and and they were like,

889
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 2: we meet us at this bar and we were going.

890
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: I was, we're going to pick up lunch for everyone.

891
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 2: So I meet him at this bar and I walk

892
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 2: in and you ever noticed when something's off and something's weird, right,

893
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: and it's GREATO, it's a great local bar. Whatever and

894
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 2: I've been there before, like years ago. But I'm sitting there,

895
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: I'm at the bar and I get a drink with them,

896
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 2: and I'm just kind of looking around.

897
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's what's what's wrong in this picture?

898
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: And then I realized they don't have a television in

899
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 2: the bar, and like, listen, I think that's cool, right,

900
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 2: Like that's a place that's that's cool, like no TV.

901
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: And I respect that, but it's in this day and

902
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 2: age where you know, like, you're right, like even nice

903
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 2: restaurants have a bar area and there's always a TV.

904
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 2: There's a dining area without television, but the bar area

905
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: always has a TV.

906
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 4: I mean, you're right, but you gotta pick and choose

907
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 4: that battle, right, because if you're a super swanky bar,

908
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 4: like maybe if there's a game day like that.

909
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 2: That way, and this was not This is not like

910
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 2: a swanky bar. It's just a it's a it's it's listen.

911
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: It's in the center of town, so it's a nice

912
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: part of town, but it's not a swanky bar. It's

913
00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 2: it's really just an an everyday bar that has it's

914
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: known for. And I forgot. I'm like, oh word, Fergie's

915
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 2: and Fergize does not have a bar, and that was

916
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 2: what I was like, Wow, what's weird about this room?

917
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 2: And I'm looking around and I realize it's right down.

918
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 2: I'll have a TV.

919
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 4: I will say. The thing that bothers me is the

920
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 4: mid level bar, the sports bar. And I don't care

921
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 4: if we're talking about like a Chili's or we're talking

922
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 4: about a local place. I don't care. I love you Chilies,

923
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 4: by the way, love me back. I think what bothers

924
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 4: me is the bar that has like just enough TVs

925
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 4: to not get every game on every Sunday. That's the

926
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 4: one I can't handle. Like, I'm in this bar and

927
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you're gonna have the Raiders game

928
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 4: on because you don't have enough TVs to have a

929
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 4: full slate of Sunday ticket That is the ultimate party foul.

930
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 4: The ultimate football foul of a bar is once you

931
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 4: get past like three TVs in your place, you got

932
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 4: to go enough that you have every game on every Sunday.

933
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 3: So I like that rule. I do.

934
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this rule because I this bothers me.

935
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 2: They weren't a game. I do not want to hear music.

936
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 2: I like listen while games on music is the worst.

937
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 2: I just want to watch the freaky game when here

938
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 2: be announcers.

939
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 4: I had a buddy that was playing there's a there's

940
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 4: a little bar and that's not little, it's huge. There's

941
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 4: a big like brewery placing Connecticut, Connecticut called Lissit and

942
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 4: there was like a little band that was playing in

943
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 4: the corner and it was like loud, like five piece band,

944
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 4: drums like the whole thing. And this place is like

945
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 4: a big almost, like it's a massive, massive ceilings. TV's everywhere, right,

946
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 4: So they are you know, they're not a sports bar,

947
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 4: but they certainly have every sporting event on. And my

948
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 4: buddy asked me if I wanted to sit in for

949
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 4: a few songs. This is a while back back when

950
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 4: Duke was playing North Carolina in the Final four, if

951
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 4: you remember that game, and so that game came down

952
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 4: to the wire. It was a close game, and that

953
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 4: was the night that I got asked to sit in

954
00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 4: and I was like, I'll go watch the game and

955
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 4: like sitting for a couple of songs. Well, the band

956
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 4: was playing while that game was coming down to the wire,

957
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 4: and I kept looking around thinking what are we doing,

958
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 4: Like just stop everybody should just stop right now because

959
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 4: we are in the second half of a close game

960
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 4: between two of the biggest rivals and all the sports

961
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 4: and everybody in the bar was intently watching the fifty

962
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 4: TVs they have around. But the band kept going. Band

963
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 4: just kept going. You know that that that that was

964
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 4: an absolutely I felt like I felt like I was

965
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 4: a part of a foul I didn't want to be

966
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 4: a part of I've never gotten back to sit in since.

967
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 4: I feel like we failed.

968
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, now that's you gotta read the room, don't you.

969
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: But don't it doesn't the leader like whoever's you know,

970
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: the guy in Chwarz, go yo, listen, give it, give

971
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 2: you the this throat slash, like, let's go, let's take

972
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 2: a break and do whatever and then come on after

973
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: the game.

974
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of like you got to read

975
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 3: the room.

976
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 4: I mean there is a You also gotta swallow your pride.

977
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 4: That's the hardest thing in those situations, Like you gotta

978
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 4: you gotta real like that nobody is there to hear

979
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 4: your cover of a Zach brahmaton. They are they are

980
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 4: there to watch this game, you know, and you're right,

981
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 4: like that's one thing that bothers me again, I'm just

982
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 4: throwing sponsors out all over the place. But there's a

983
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 4: bar right down from my house up in Connecticut, the

984
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 4: bar On Seater. I love bar On Theater, Like the

985
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 4: food is really good. It's a dive bar, you know.

986
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 4: I feel like John Tafford would probably come in there

987
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 4: and shut it down. But I love that place, like

988
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 4: I just I love it, but most of it and

989
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 4: they have great TVs all over the place, but they

990
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 4: also have one of those like you know, touch tunes

991
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 4: type of things where you can play music. And even

992
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 4: I was in there once on a Thursday night and

993
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 4: flat out ass they're only like ten of us in there.

994
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 4: I was like, can we turn the music off and

995
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 4: turn the game on? And the guys like, Nope, can't

996
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 4: do that. We never do that. I'm like, that's just

997
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 4: I'm out on that. Like if I got to listen

998
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 4: to like obnoxiously loud music and I can't hear the

999
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 4: game broadcast, I'm out. They only played the audio when

1000
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 4: it's a Patriots or Giants, like when it's a local area.

1001
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 4: The rest of the time they cover it up with music,

1002
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 4: which which means I don't go there as often.

1003
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 3: Dude, I wouldn't. I don't disagree with you like that.

1004
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: That's a that's a deal breaker for me, Like I

1005
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 2: don't want to like listen, I love music, but I

1006
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 2: don't want to hear it door to game. And I

1007
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: don't understand why that's a thing. Like if you have

1008
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: a Sunday with you have a game, all like all right, like, dude,

1009
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 2: like stop force feeding me to music at least, Like

1010
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a Sunday night game or

1011
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 2: a Monday night game. I mean, how about you put

1012
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 2: the music on uh it commercials? I mean you gotta

1013
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 2: put it all door to game, like you know the same,

1014
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: and you gotta do that, then you freakingt annoying, man, that's.

1015
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 4: Why you really got it. That's the one risk in

1016
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,919
Speaker 4: going out to watch football games when it's your favorite team, right,

1017
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 4: Like that's part of the reason that I enjoy watching

1018
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 4: the Raiders at home, because hey, my language is offensive.

1019
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 4: I apologize to my neighbors every year. But and b

1020
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 4: I want to be able to jump and down the

1021
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 4: scream and not worry about if anyone's staring at me

1022
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 4: or pulling their phone out. But then there's also this

1023
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 4: element of I and I think you could appreciate this.

1024
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 4: I don't like to risk anything on game day, So

1025
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 4: for me, if the Raiders are playing at four twenty five, like,

1026
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 4: I gotta go to the bar, I gotta figure out

1027
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 4: which TV is gonna be on. In a lot of

1028
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 4: bars don't do a great job of labeling that. Are

1029
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 4: they even gonna have my game on? What if the

1030
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 4: early games are running late? Where am I gonna sit?

1031
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 4: Is the crowd gonna come out?

1032
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 3: Like?

1033
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 4: Is there? Like? Am I gonna have a spot at

1034
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 4: the bar? Or am I gonna have to wait till

1035
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 4: the early games? And am I gonna miss the first

1036
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 4: ten minutes of the game because I'm waiting for somebody

1037
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 4: to flip the TV channel?

1038
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 5: Like?

1039
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 4: All of these are variables that absolutely drive me crazy,

1040
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 4: which is why I genuinely believe that there is some

1041
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 4: element of finding one spot and creating a relationship with

1042
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 4: that one spot and going back to it every week,

1043
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 4: because it at least provides me consistency. If I walk

1044
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 4: in and the bartender has seen me every week and

1045
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 4: I have already tipped the bartender, well, I know that TV

1046
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 4: is gonna get moved over early. But I can't. I

1047
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 4: can't take that risk early in the season, particularly not smart.

1048
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to the conversation that I

1049
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 2: had with Brianna. So Brianna our producer alone with Mighty Mark,

1050
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 2: a great production team. Uh, Brianna, tell Fitzie your dating

1051
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 2: plans for the fall.

1052
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 8: Well, I did say that I was probably going to

1053
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 8: go into like a dry spell because I don't know

1054
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 8: if I'm going to date, like I don't know if

1055
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 8: I'm going to socialize, like I just don't think, Like

1056
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 8: I'm not going to be in a position to be

1057
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 8: sitting at a bar and I'd be half paying attention

1058
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 8: and have to hear like how many brothers.

1059
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 3: And sisters do you have?

1060
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 8: Where did you go to school? Are you a coffee

1061
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 8: or you a tea person? And do you like to

1062
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 8: go outside and go camping? Like I don't. That's just

1063
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 8: I just don't. I don't see that happening for me,

1064
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 8: you know.

1065
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 4: So here's my counter. I think if you went out

1066
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 4: on the profiles and you went out with anybody that's

1067
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 4: going out with and you're like, hey, you want to

1068
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 4: watch a game, like we don't need to do the

1069
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 4: get to know you is just like let's just go

1070
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 4: watch football. I think that the right person would be like, hecky,

1071
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 4: I'm all in for that. You know, I personally wouldn't

1072
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 4: do that on a date just because I don't need

1073
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 4: somebody to see that side of me right out. Also

1074
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 4: that that is just like, yeah, I can't be held

1075
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 4: responsible for what happens when somebody, you know, fumbles the

1076
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 4: when Derek Carr fumbled the ball out of the back

1077
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 4: of the end zone, and suddenly like, I can't be

1078
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 4: held responsible for that. I don't want you to be

1079
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 4: held responsible for that now as a Saints fan, and

1080
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 4: it's two different.

1081
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 8: Brianna's like, that's why I and we talked about that earlier.

1082
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 8: I don't go out to bars anymore to watch my

1083
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 8: Saints game because I lose control. Same with like the

1084
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 8: seeing the Suns, Like I need to be in a

1085
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 8: bre cave and I need to be just locked away truly.

1086
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 4: A bre cave. I love it.

1087
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I can't. I have my three TVs for a reason,

1088
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 8: you guys, you know what I mean, Like I do

1089
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 8: not need to be seen in public. I don't like

1090
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 8: I'm a completely different person, you know, kind of like

1091
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 8: doctor chuckle, mister Hyde kind of thing like different breathe well.

1092
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 2: I love too, Like where did you did you catch

1093
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 2: the uh? You know, the level of disdain for the

1094
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 2: small talk that she has, which I completely love, Like

1095
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 2: you know how.

1096
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 4: You brother sisters?

1097
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 3: You have you coffee or date?

1098
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 2: She's like, oh my god, yeah another one? Like you know,

1099
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 2: can you break down a cover two for me?

1100
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 4: There is an element too, like I don't know, especially

1101
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 4: if it's like a first date on that stuff, how

1102
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 4: much of that is is being retained? Like the first

1103
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 4: date is like a really weird audition, right, you know,

1104
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 4: and so like you're just trying to figure out if

1105
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 4: you even want to talk to the person. So like

1106
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, miss me with the whole conversation about

1107
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces I and just give

1108
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 4: me the bare minimum, like let me figure out if

1109
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 4: you can even have a decent conversation and then we'll

1110
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 4: figure out like what your family structure looks like on

1111
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 4: a third date, you know, like let's let's getting vested

1112
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 4: before I have to actually worry about anything again. I

1113
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 4: am all I'm cold and callous today. I sound like

1114
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 4: a real jerk.

1115
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 8: No, I'm really jealous. I mean, I kind of wish

1116
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 8: I could feel like that, because I mean, I'm just

1117
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 8: very I don't even I'm just closed off to the

1118
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 8: idea completely, Like there's nothing that I'm like, Oh no, no,

1119
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 8: I mean there's just no way, Like I can't.

1120
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 4: I feel like if you have seventy four brothers and

1121
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 4: sisters that you know live on a ranch, I can

1122
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 4: figure that out over time. I don't have to figure

1123
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 4: that out on a first date. Like we can expand

1124
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 4: and explore the ranch life over time. It doesn't have

1125
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 4: to be right there that it's life.

1126
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's priceless. I love with brigos, she says to me,

1127
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 2: even like they're happy for other jobs. She goes happy hour,

1128
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 2: I want to watch the game, Like, no, I don't

1129
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 2: want to go to happy hour on Thursday.

1130
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 4: Oh I never thought about that because you're in LA.

1131
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 4: The game is on during.

1132
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 8: Happiness it is and so and I and I work

1133
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:58,920

00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 8: five percent paying attention, and I will give you one

1139
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 8: hundred percent during commercials. But no, like, I don't know.

1140
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 8: It's a different kind of version of me.

1141
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 3: You know, isn't that great? I love it, completely love it.

1142

Speaker 8: loves it.

1144
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no no, like look well to peel

1145
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 4: behind the curtain. You know, Mighty Marks just said break time,

1146
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 4: So I was like, I'm just gonna lay out. I'm

1147
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 4: gonna let that. I'm gonna let that happen.

1148
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1149
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: I usually, you know, and Money marks the best because

1150
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 2: he'll be the steward here and uh, you know, I

1151
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 2: usually get like one pass until the second break time

1152
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: where he gets a little bit more forceful is when

1153
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 2: I go all right, like I gotta go to break

1154
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna do that right Mark, Like the

Speaker 2: All right, Fitzy, let's get back to the schedule and

1193
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 2: kind of looking at some of these teams, kind of

1194
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 2: where we're at with the tiers of college football. And

1195
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 2: then I want to get to midshow mania. Do you

1196
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 2: have Minshew mania?

1197
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 4: I have?

1198
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 5: What?

1199
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 4: What? What's in the middle? What's like? I'm not completely Yeah,

1200
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 4: I got mintioned, may I'll give you minch meh. Here's

1201
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 4: the thing, though, I will say this about Gardner Minshaw

1202
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 4: being named the starter of the Las Vegas Raiders over

1203
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 4: Aidan O'Connell. I don't think that made any difference to

1204
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 4: their final win total. I really don't. It just tells

1205
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 4: you that Aidan O'Connell isn't the future, which I already

1206
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 4: knew anyway, I think most of us did. But I

1207
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 4: don't think it suddenly takes the Raiders from well, they

1208
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 4: were going to be an eight win team to now

1209
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 4: a six win team. Because the gardener instead of or

1210
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 4: vice versa. I just don't think it makes a difference.

1211
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 4: The team's not going to be defined by their mediocre quarterback.

1212
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, I listen, I agree with you.

1213
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 2: And it's you know, he's a placeholder and they were

1214
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 2: breath place holders, so and you knew that going in.

1215
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 2: So I'm with you. So let's look at this for

1216
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 2: a second. So I was reading over this schedule for

1217
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 2: you on Thursday last week, left this coming Thursday. We

1218
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 2: got a couple of decent games. I mean, you know,

1219
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 2: it's North Dakota State and Colorado on ESPN is a

1220
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 2: big one in North Carolina, Minnesota on Fox. I mean

1221
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 2: those are your two kind of standout games. And then

1222
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 2: you got Friday. Oh god, I'm a Temple guy and

1223
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 2: we have Oklahoma in Norman.

1224
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 3: That yeah, wow.

1225
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 4: Good luck for that. So how many minutes? How many

1226
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 4: minutes or you just sigh? I'd say, what.

1227
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 3: Thirty eight forty three?

1228
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 4: O my first this was going to be forty two,

1229
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 4: and I felt like that was too high.

1230
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Boomers, sooner forty three over Temple.

1231
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 2: And what will happen is and you'll know this, there's

1232
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 2: the rhythm of college football when the patsy's play, right.

1233
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 2: So when you're a patsy and I've you know, been

1234
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 2: a Temple guy, I've been a patsy all except for

1235
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 2: a handful of years under met rule and a little

1236
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 2: bit under Al Golden and used to the down twenty

1237
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 2: one six minutes to go in the first quarter. Yeah,

1238
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 2: like you've seen that.

1239
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:42,439
Speaker 3: Right.

1240
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 4: There just isn't any And this is one of the

1241
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 4: hard things I think for a lot of football programs now.

1242
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 4: There isn't a viable, reasonable thing that I think they

1243
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 4: could do to prevent that. When you schedule that sort

1244
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 4: of a team like it, just that is just the

1245
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 4: stark reality. Like you can hope for a miracle, and

1246
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 4: who doesn't like that's great, But weekend and week out,

1247
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 4: if you're if you're Temple and you're playing a team

1248
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 4: like Oklahoma, that's what's going to happen. That's what's always

1249
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 4: going to happen, and that's the way it's always going

1250
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 4: to be.

1251
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Saturday, next Saturday we'll be talking.

1252
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 2: I'll go, hey, you see that Temple ago, Yeah, I

1253
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 2: saw its sixty three to seven.

1254
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 4: Yeah that feels about right, Yeah, that feels about right. Uh.

1255
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 2: Wichcon Western Michigan, Wisconsin, TCU, Stanford and then Saturday is awesome.

1256
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 2: So Saturday is the real day, right, So the uh,

1257
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 2: the big kickoff, the big nude kickoff is.

1258
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 3: Clemson and Georgia. Dude, that's it.

1259
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 2: A week from today at twelve o'clock eastern, non am

1260
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Pacific Georgia and Clemson.

1261
01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

1262
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 4: It's also it speaks to how far Clemson has fallen

1263
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 4: in the eyes of many, that we're not sitting here

1264
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 4: just salivating over that game for a month and that

1265
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 4: there are you know, obviously it's it is the premier game,

1266
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 4: but it just doesn't well I guess Texas A and

1267
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 4: m Notre Dame wants something to do with that, right,

1268
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 4: But I think it's interesting to me. If Clemson comes

1269
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 4: in and is competitive, we're gonna have to rethink some

1270
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 4: things we think about where Dabo is right now with

1271
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 4: that program. But if they get absolutely destroyed, as most

1272
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 4: of us think they will in this process, it's just

1273
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 4: going to be a oh, how the Mighty have fallen?

1274
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 4: Because it wasn't that long ago that Clemson was a

1275
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 4: perennial national championship contender. If they go out there and

1276
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 4: get thumped by Georgia, it will be a reminder that

1277
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 4: they are now part of the clearly second tier in

1278
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 4: college football.

1279
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, does it get any more indicative than

1280
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 2: the quarterback? Right to Sean Watson and the Mighty Fall Like,

1281
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 2: it's amazing because the Browns who gave all that guaranteed

1282
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 2: money are sitting there going, all right, we got a

1283
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 2: great team. If the quarterback can play, we're good.

1284
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah.

1285
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 2: If the quarterback can play, and it's a big if, well,

1286
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 2: I don't know to expect from him this year.

1287
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I don't. I don't expect anything. I'm out

1288
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 4: on Deshaun being great. And it's funny because I think

1289
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 4: the Browns are Super Bowl caliber team otherwise, so it's

1290
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 4: really unfortunate that they got to Shawn. And at the time,

1291
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 4: what I asked was, given everything off the field, what

1292
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 4: would it take for the organization to feel like it

1293
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:39,919
Speaker 4: was worth it? And the answer that I kept coming

1294
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 4: back to is probably at least an appearance in the

1295
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. And what's funny is I believe the rest

1296
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 4: of the roster is now capable of that. DeShawn just

1297
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 4: is no longer even anywhere close to a top five quarterback.

1298
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 2: No, I mean he's he's now now you go? Is

1299
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 2: he a bad quarterback? Like I heard that data want

1300
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 2: anything to do with bringing Flacco back because the minute

1301
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 2: he had issues, the crowd will be chanting for Flacco

1302
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 2: and they didn't want to deal with that.

1303
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 4: That is such a foreign concept to me to think

1304
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 4: that it's gone that far, Like to think that the

1305
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 4: person that was absolutely universally praised by so many Browns fans.

1306
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 4: I will say that there are Browns. I'm just talking

1307
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 4: about the football player, not the human being. To be

1308
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:33,719
Speaker 4: very clear, the football player Deshaun Watson. Browns fans rightfully,

1309
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 4: so very excited about the football player from the outset,

1310
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 4: and now to think that he's become the biggest liability

1311
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 4: for that roster and the way the fans just have turned,

1312
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's heartbreaking for Browns fans above

1313
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 4: beyond everything else, it's heartbreaking for Browns fans that you're like, no, guys,

1314
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 4: we might actually be in a super Bowl window with

1315
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 4: this roster if it weren't for this one dude.

1316
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 3: It's the truth.

1317
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 2: Uh my main nick, he give me a yo, taking

1318
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 2: Georgia and laying it. How about Penn State Virginia West Virginia.

1319
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 2: That's a great game on Fox at noon, the big

1320
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: new kickoff, Penn State at West Virginia.

1321
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm definitely in on that game.

1322
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 4: State. By the way, is I keep using them as yeah,

1323
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 4: me too, But I think I keep using them as

1324
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 4: the example of expanded playoff Let's see, yes, you know,

1325
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 4: like because if you're Penn State, you don't have to

1326
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 4: win your conference anymore. I just you have to get

1327
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 4: in the playoffs every single year. Like that's gonna be

1328
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 4: the expectation. James Franklin gets paid too much. Not too

1329
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 4: I think Penn State has a ton of talent. But

1330
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 4: in a stacked Big ten they should now be renamed

1331
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 4: the Big eighty seven or whatever. But like in a

1332
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 4: stacked Big ten, Penn State becomes an interesting like you

1333
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 4: better rise. You got to be part of that that

1334
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 4: crew that stays at the top of the top, because

1335
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 4: if you fall into that middle tier, that's gonna be

1336
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 4: absolutely like the world will be the sky will be

1337
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 4: falling for Penn State fans.

1338
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you have no idea. I mean being in

1339
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 2: the middle of Penn State country, Like that's the m

1340
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 2: up what you just said, right, like, and you know

1341
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 2: they'll they'll forgive you to a point like all right, well,

1342
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,759
Speaker 2: you know Iowa State was great or Michigan was great,

1343
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 2: but at some point you've got to play with those teams.

1344
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 3: You got to beat one of those teams.

1345
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 4: I mean, now, the projections that have them finishing fourth

1346
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 4: in the Big Ten, you know, behind Ohio State, Oregon,

1347
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 4: maybe Michigan. You know that. Let's see what USC looks like.

1348
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of belief there, but Penn

1349
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 4: State opens the season at number eight, but by the

1350
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 4: end of the year I could see where fourth or

1351
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 4: fifth in the conference is is kind of real And like,

1352
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 4: how does that feel to Penn State fans being in

1353
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 4: fourth place in your own conference? I don't know, as

1354
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 4: long as you make the playoffs, but it man, I

1355
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 4: don't know.

1356
01:10:55,479 --> 01:11:00,080
Speaker 2: No making the playoffs is now it's going to shade

1357
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,919
Speaker 2: how we view these coaches too, because you're right about Franklin,

1358
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 2: very good coach, great recruiter, or the whole thing. But

1359
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 2: now he gets held to a different kind of standard,

1360
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 2: which is all right. Well, before, even though you weren't

1361
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 2: a series contender, you weren't the level of Michigan or

1362
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 2: higher State well, now you got to make the playoffs.

1363
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, there's no more you're skating. You got

1364
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs.

1365
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And that's gonna be In the NFL, we

1366
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 4: rarely see coaches fired for making making this wild card, right,

1367
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 4: I wonder if that's gonna be the case in college football.

1368
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna take a minute to it, just because if

1369
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 4: Penn State, let's say for the next three years, Penn

1370
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 4: State makes the playoffs every single year, that's fine, but

1371
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 4: they never win the Big Ten in that process, they

1372
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 4: don't really make any noise in that process. Will that

1373
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 4: be enough? I don't, I don't know, you know. And

1374
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 4: and this is why I think the Big Ten becomes

1375
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 4: particularly interesting because teams like Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, even miss

1376
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 4: chign State that have made little runs where suddenly they

1377
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 4: pop up and it's like, this is a year that

1378
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 4: we won ten games and we're right on the cusp of,

1379
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 4: you know, being relevant. Well, those teams now in a

1380
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,759
Speaker 4: tougher Big Ten. You know, they're they're looking at six, seventh,

1381
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 4: eighth place, Like some of those teams are going to

1382
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 4: be struggling for bowl eligibility and a tougher big ten. Like, boy,

1383
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 4: that's a different mindset. Like then, you know, if you're

1384
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 4: used to winning eight to ten games and all of

1385
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 4: a sudden it goes to seven to nine games, that's

1386
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 4: a big difference in the way it is. He's a program.

1387
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 2: No, dude, you're You're spot on. It's a it's a

1388
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 2: huge difference. And by the way Oregon looks, you know,

1389
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 2: on paper, Oregon looks just frightening.

1390
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I think Oregon's legit.

1391
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,879
Speaker 2: Right, I I just I saw them earlier being listed

1392
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 2: as the ESPN did the tiers like I was talking

1393
01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 2: you about, and Dan Oregon and a Tier two fig there,

1394
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 2: Tier one.

1395
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 4: I think Oregon has a real shot at the national championship.

1396
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 4: And I don't think Dylan Gabriel, the quarterback that's there now,

1397
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 4: I don't think Dylan Gabriel is a world beater. But

1398
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 4: he's old and he's played a lot of football, and

1399
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 4: I just believe in that. And if you get into

1400
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 4: the playoffs and you have the choice in the playoffs

1401
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 4: between a young kid that's you know, less than a

1402
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 4: year removed from a proposal versus a kid that's seen

1403
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 4: a ton of college football, I just think there's a

1404
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 4: lot of value for experience. So I think right now,

1405
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 4: as much as Ohio State probably should win the conference,

1406
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:32,640
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Oregon in

1407
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 4: the Natty.

1408
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. All right, let's say quick

1409
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 3: to you.

1410
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 2: We'll continue going through Saturday, which Saturday is elite, man,

1411
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 2: you got you know, it's real on Saturday. You know

1412
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 2: Today's you know, it's some fun and then we're joking

1413
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 2: about it. But next Saturday, I mean, that's slate is impressive.

1414
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 2: We'll get back to it. Where the fell is Jason Fitz,

1422
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 2: Good excuse to talk about the games and the teams

1423
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 2: and kind of what to expect from some of these teams. Saturday. Again,

1424
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 2: it's a week from today, August thirty. First, we gave

1425
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 2: you to Chris the Big games early Clemson, Georgia, Penn

1426
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 2: State and West Virginia, Illinois, Iowa, Illinois State and Iowa, Yukon, Maryland,

1427
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 2: Kent State, pitt Tennessee, and Chattanooga.

1428
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,719
Speaker 3: Tennessee is interesting. What's your outlook on the on the Voles.

1429
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 4: I think Tennessee's being slept on a little bit this year,

1430
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 4: you know, I mean honestly that too. They've got so much.

1431
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 4: First of all, I believe in their offensive skill set

1432
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 4: in general. I believe in their coaching in general. I

1433
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 4: think that's an important part of it. Uh, we become

1434
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 4: so obsessed with how certain teams look in the SEC.

1435
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 4: To me, you know, they get NZ State this year,

1436
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 4: that's tough. They get Oklahoma, that's tough, But I think

1437
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 4: they can win. That game. Really comes down to they

1438
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,679
Speaker 4: have Alabama and Georgia. I'm not at the same spot

1439
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 4: everybody is with Alabama. So I think Alabama is a

1440
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 4: winnable game for Tennessee. That Georgia game is really the

1441
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 4: big difference because Georgia is just in the class of

1442
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 4: their own. So I think I think Tennessee has the

1443
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 4: chance by the end of the year to be a

1444
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 4: sneaky playoff team.

1445
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 2: What don't you like about I'm curious about, Like, what's

1446
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 2: the biggest thing you don't like about Bama, because I do.

1447
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 2: I mean, Milroe took the step we kind of wanted

1448
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 2: him to take last year.

1449
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 4: I just think culture just being slept on a little bit,

1450
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 4: you know. Like talk to Kaitlyn de Boor at the

1451
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 4: National Championship Game and one thing his players stressed to

1452
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 4: me is that he never yells. And one of his

1453
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 4: rules is he doesn't like to raise his voice on

1454
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 4: the sideline at anybody for any reason. So I asked

1455
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 4: him about it at the time and he said, yeah,

1456
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 4: you know, like controlling emotions is something he takes seriously.

1457
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 4: And he said, I wouldn't say never yell, but I'd

1458
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 4: say that I'd do my best to never yell. And

1459
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 4: that's a really nice part of who he is as

1460
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 4: a coach. I love that. I appreciate that that's such

1461
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 4: a culture shift from what we're used to seeing, you know.

1462
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 4: And then you've also got the other side of it,

1463
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:37,440
Speaker 4: which was the success at Washington, which was really tremendous,

1464
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 4: also came with people that knew his system, knew what

1465
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 4: to execute, and people that had been in that system

1466
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 4: for a minute. I think we're sort of undervaluing how

1467
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 4: much Saban meant, and we're overvaluing Kaitlyn de Boor's ability

1468
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 4: to just come in and suddenly compete at that level.

1469
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 4: So I think there's just a transition here. I don't

1470
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,959
Speaker 4: think Alabama's bad. I just I could easily see Alabama

1471
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 4: being a three or four law team this year. It

1472
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 4: feels like everything's in the right spot. It's just, man,

1473
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 4: it's going to take a minute for that to get

1474
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 4: to where it needs to be. And that that's not

1475
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 4: hating Onbama. Also, they do have Georgia and then they

1476
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 4: have a gauntlet in three straight weeks where they have

1477
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 4: Tennessee Missouri, LSU, Mercer, then Oklahoma.

1478
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 3: So read that schedule to me.

1479
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 4: So they've got a couple of cupcakes, Western Kentucky, Florida.

1480
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,839
Speaker 4: Then they go at Wisconsin. It's a winnable game for them, obviously.

1481
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 4: Then they have Georgia at home Vandy South Carolina. Those

1482
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 4: are easy, but then they have at Tennessee Missouri number

1483
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 4: eleven for anyone that doesn't know, then at LSU for

1484
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 4: three straight weeks, Mercer, and then they go at Oklahoma.

1485
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 4: That's just it's pretty easy for me to find three

1486
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 4: losses there, and that three losses doesn't mean you stink.

1487
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 4: It just means that, you know, new normal.

1488
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, listen, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. Buck

1489
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 2: Eys gets acron out of state going to be nasty.

1490
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 2: It's a it is. It is interesting, right. It feels

1491
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 2: like those two teams take their Michigan Ohio State have

1492
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 2: taken turns over the last you know, decade, and right

1493
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 2: now it's the Buckeyes turn.

1494
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this Buckey's team. Look, they they spend a

1495
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 4: lot of money to put together a team that they

1496
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 4: think can turn around and win a championship right now.

1497
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 4: And I do think there's heavy expectations on Ryan Day

1498
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 4: and this Buckeyes team to live up to that. And

1499
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean, you know, we always say what is that,

1500
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 4: you know, you gotta win a Natty. I don't think

1501
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,679
Speaker 4: it's that. I think that Ohio State throughout the course

1502
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 4: of the year has to be one of the best

1503
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 4: teams in the country. And I think that when they

1504
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 4: have huge games, there needs to not be some like

1505
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,719
Speaker 4: just absolute glaring moment here where it's well, coaching costs

1506
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 4: them or that was a bad game, or that was

1507
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 4: a stupid moment, Like, look, if they lose an epic

1508
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 4: game somewhere along the way and it keeps them from

1509
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 4: winning a national championship, I don't think you fire everybody,

1510
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 4: but if you turn around and suddenly they get dominated

1511
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 4: by Michigan or they you know, they go into Penn

1512
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 4: State and get their buck kicked, or Oregon clearly just

1513
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 4: throttles them down, Like they've got some tough games this

1514
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 4: year coming on the schedule. They are at Oregon, They're

1515
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 4: at Penn State this year, you know, and then obviously

1516
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 4: they have Michigan, so I think, and then let's remember

1517
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 4: the Big Ten Championship game. They've gotten rid of divisions

1518
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 4: in the Big Ten, so it's gonna be one v two.

1519
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 4: So in my mind, they're gonna go to Oregon. But

1520
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 4: then they're also gonna play Oregon again for the Big

1521
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 4: Ten Championship game and might have to play Oregon again

1522
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, right, so you know, I don't think

1523
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 4: they have to win it all, but man, they have

1524
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 4: too much talent to not be clearly one of the

1525
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 4: two or three best teams in the country all year long.

1526
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see Will Howard, who you know,

1527
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: comes over, and I'm fascinated by it, right because you

1528
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 2: know McCord, there was a lot of there was a

1529
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 2: lot of blame that was putting his shoulders. So now

1530
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 2: you've got Will Howard coming up over. I'm curious see

1531
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 2: how he's gonna fare.

1532
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 4: Another guy that's seen a lot of football and now

1533
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 4: he's going to be executing Chip Kelly's offense. Right, So

1534
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 4: you know that that's the other You know Chip Kelly's

1535
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 4: offense very well. Right, So it's it's just a little

1536
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 4: adjustment there, you know, it's it's a little adjustment and

1537
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 4: a little adjustments for the top two or three teams.

1538
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 4: You know that paper thin margin becomes something substantial when

1539
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 4: you're talking about little adjustments.

1540
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what happens? What happens to Chip? They have

1541
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 2: a big year? Does he get the job automatically or

1542
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,679
Speaker 2: does he does he have a home for a while.

1543
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 4: I think he's there for a while. I think he's

1544
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 4: just there for a while, winning a bunch of games

1545
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 4: and sort of rehabbing whatever the concept is around Chip Kelly.

1546
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of see the same thing, Like you know,

1547
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 3: I almost think he needs.

1548
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 2: To stay put for three or four years, and just

1549
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 2: before you take one more shot at it, you know.

1550
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 4: Yep, I totally agree, Like, stay put for three or

1551
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 4: four years, win some rings, get some get some bling,

Speaker 3: Jason Fitz, Anthony Gargano FITZI, Hey.

1566
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: The one thing I do want to bring up off

1567
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 2: of last night was the O Tawny Grand Slam. Was amazing, dude,

1568
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 2: Like I mean that dude, the theater of that moment,

1569
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:06,919
Speaker 2: you know, locked in and it's extras bas is loaded,

1570
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 2: and he hits the Grand Slam and he's now already

1571
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 2: into the forty forty club, which is like truly absurd.

1572
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 3: He really is a marvel.

1573
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And to do both of those things in one game,

1574
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 4: to do the walk off, and then to really cement

1575
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 4: the reminder here that what we're seeing is just special.

1576
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 4: It's different, and you know, we have to stop. And

1577
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 4: I use this Russell Westbrook comp a lot, but you know,

1578
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 4: the first time we saw Russ average a triple double

1579
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 4: for a season, everybody was enamored. The next season, everybody

1580
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 4: was just sort of blase with it. We can't blase show. Hey, right,

1581
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 4: there's just fastest player in Major league history to reach

1582
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 4: the forty four mark. Forty forty mark, I should say,

1583
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 4: took one hundred and twenty six games. You know, that's

1584
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 4: the solid twenty one games faster than the next fastest.

1585
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,560
Speaker 4: So you think about what that means and what it

1586
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 4: means to his dominance right now, and how special this is.

1587
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 4: It just I think we need to stop every once

1588
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 4: in a while and just remind ourselves that we're seeing

1589
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 4: a modern marble.

1590
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1591
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 2: I mean it was interesting, right because I was kind

1592
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 2: of going over this show, and so I was online

1593
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 2: and I'm like looking at the baseball stuff, and so

1594
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 2: I was following the game and I was like, oh wow,

1595
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 2: like the Rays are tied and so here they are.

1596
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers had I think months he was up,

1597
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 2: they were getting down of the inning. Month they walk monthsI.

1598
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, months he's a pitch or he just

1599
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 2: come back. He's pretty locked in. He's had a couple

1600
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 2: of home runs since he got back. So they walk

1601
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 2: Monthsy and it's like, wow, here's your your you walk

1602
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 2: Monsie and you get show Hey.

1603
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 3: And man, it was like boom. I talk about just

1604
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 3: dramatic and man he is. He's box office.

1605
01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 4: He really is.

1606
01:23:58,640 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 3: He's amazing.

1607
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 4: Pretty incredible to me too, that that was the first

1608
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 4: walk off of his career. You know, like that's just

1609
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 4: that doesn't even seem real considering all the greatness that

1610
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 4: he constantly brings. But you're right, it is. It is

1611
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 4: box office and there It's very rare to have a

1612
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 4: player that I feel like, every time they're up to bat,

1613
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 4: an entire bar stops and just says, oh, let's see

1614
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 4: what happens here. That's what show Hay has become, you know,

1615
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 4: and very reminiscent. Remember during the home run battles between

1616
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 4: Maguire and Sosa that ESPN at the time would count.

1617
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 4: Every time one of them was up to the plate.

1618
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 4: ESPN would cut it in no matter what they were showing,

1619
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:36,640
Speaker 4: just to see if somebody was going to hit a

1620
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 4: home run. It kind of feels like that moment would

1621
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 4: show hey, not with the home runs, but just with

1622
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 4: the ability to constantly do the unexpected in a way

1623
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 4: that makes the top ten list. You know, it's just

1624
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 4: every single time he has the opportunity, he makes the play.

1625
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 2: It was thoughts, I actually went on the Sosa beat.

1626
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 2: I was working for the New York Posts. Wow, and

1627
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 2: you bring that up, and it was like, oh man,

1628
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 2: I was like swept up in it. And so wherever

1629
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 2: it was, the god started early, so I started middle

1630
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 2: to end of August. Excuse me and I So they said, listen,

1631
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,680
Speaker 2: we want you to go on the Sosa beat. So

1632
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 2: wherever Samy goes, wherever the Cubs go, you're going to go.

1633
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 2: So I literally set up shop in Chicago, and you know,

1634
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 2: I traveled with them over the last six weeks in

1635
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 2: the season, and there was in fact, I was in

1636
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 2: Saint Louis when they square it off. When do you

1637
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 2: remember when the reporter grabbed the bottle of Andro diastem.

1638
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 3: Adam McGuire's locker. I was standing right there when he

1639
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:50,680
Speaker 3: did it.

1640
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 2: Oh god, and I was like why, Like the worst

1641
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 2: thing you could do was like going, you never go

1642
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 2: on somebody's locker, but the andro was right there and

1643
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 2: nobody really understood what it was, and uh, but it was.

1644
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 2: It was kind of interesting. But that was one of

1645
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:14,480
Speaker 2: the greatest moments, man. I covering that thing was was unbelievable,

1646
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 2: and like you're just there and I'm just writing, like

1647
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 2: the home run, like what's it like? And uh, it

1648
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 2: was interesting. Then he would hit like a couple on

1649
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 2: the game.

1650
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 4: It was wild.

1651
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 2: Therese two going back and forth, and whether you know

1652
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 2: the juice thing or whatever it was, you still got

1653
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 2: to hit it all right. Like the one thing I

1654
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 2: always tell people about that stuff is you still got

1655
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 2: to hit the baseball, Like you still got to go

1656
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 2: connect on a you know, ninety nine mile an hour

1657
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 2: baseball and uh and and get your bat around.

1658
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 3: So you know, there's a massive skill to it.

1659
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 4: Well, and that was because of everything that it encapsulated

1660
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 4: in that moment. It became a moment where baseball took

1661
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 4: over America. I would love to see show, hey have

1662
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 4: that same level of impact. You know, Unfortunately, it's hard.

1663
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 4: You'd need Show Hey and Show Hey Light. You'd need

1664
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:12,519
Speaker 4: like a Show A A, one A one B to

1665
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 4: sort of replicate any of what that was because it

1666
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 4: wasn't one dude going on that run that made that

1667
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 4: so actual. It was the fact that there were two, right,

1668
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 4: So you know, I don't know how that happens, but

1669
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 4: I do know that the more that we see Show A,

1670
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 4: especially with the Dodgers, that I just continue to think

1671
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 4: that this is going to be the moment where all

1672
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 4: of a sudden, the world stops and pays attention. And

1673
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 4: you know, what he did last night is a part

1674
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,759
Speaker 4: of the reason why, like we we love greatness until

1675
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 4: we're bored with it. And the beautiful thing is that

1676
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 4: we're not bored with the greatness of Show Hey, yet.

1677
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 4: I just think we need to maybe love the rise

1678
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 4: a little bit more.

1679
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, because you know, I'm

1680
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a scene head, so I'm kind

1681
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 2: of a little bit I shouldn't be, I should be

1682
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 2: disqualified from the conversation, but I look around baseball and

1683
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 2: we're talking about Show Hey.

1684
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 3: But there's some amazing talent across the sport.

1685
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 2: Bobby Witt Junior, who plays in Kansas City, is one

1686
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 2: of the most dynamic players. He is for power, ridiculous power,

1687
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 2: He's scot ridiculous speed. He it just all he does

1688
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:28,719
Speaker 2: is hit like I mean crazy. I mean he's hitting

1689
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 2: whether it is over four hundred since the All Star Break.

1690
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 2: He's just an amazing player. But he's not alone like

1691
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,560
Speaker 2: you got you know Elie Dela Cruz and Cincinnati's his

1692
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 2: six ' five short stop, the kid O'Neil Cruz and

1693
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 2: since in Pittsburgh is his six ' seven short stop.

1694
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 2: There's so many dynamic young players across the sport, but

1695
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: yet nobody knows them. And I don't know what it

1696
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:05,679
Speaker 2: is about MLB and marketing its players, but it's almost sad.

1697
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 3: Like I look at it, I go that people don't

1698
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:12,759
Speaker 3: know how good this sport is. Right now. It's it's great.

1699
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 3: The players are some epic talent.

1700
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 4: So then the question becomes, how do you find your

1701
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark? Because I would argue that the w has

1702
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 4: been on a trajectory of getting better and better and

1703
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 4: better with some really strong players all the way across

1704
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,599
Speaker 4: the board for years, right, but it took Caitlyn Clark

1705
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 4: to get people to really become enamored with it, and

1706
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden it feels like it's blown up, right,

1707
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 4: And so you know, it's not just like it would

1708
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 4: we pay as much attention to Angel Reese getting as

1709
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:45,599
Speaker 4: many boards as she does if there wasn't Caitlin Clark

1710
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 4: in the sport, I don't know. I think you got

1711
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 4: to have your Kitlin Clark. So then you ask yourself,

1712
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 4: what's Caitlyn Clark? What makes Caitlyn so special? And it's

1713
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 4: that she's doing things nobody's ever done before. Shouldn't show

1714
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 4: hey be doing that? Like, shouldn't show hey have the

1715
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 4: impact that brings people to me duty and it makes

1716
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 4: them want to discover the rest of them, you know,

1717
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 4: like that's.

1718
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,720
Speaker 2: I don't know why showhy is not Caitlin Clark or

1719
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, and Bobby Wood Junior, right, but forever.

1720
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:13,799
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

1721
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 2: But Mike Trout before, it's a shame his injury, just

1722
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:20,720
Speaker 2: his careers just got the railed by injuries. But you know,

1723
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 2: it was like watching Joe Damagio, like it was watching

1724
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 2: one of the great players ever and he got no

1725
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 2: press and nobody really cared. And I'm looking around and

1726
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 2: I could pick the like five Caitlin Clark's and yet

1727
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 2: nobody pays.

1728
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 3: Nobody cares or.

1729
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 4: It's funny because you need somebody that will change everybody's

1730
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 4: mind and that that's just being real like and and

1731
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:50,479
Speaker 4: it's so hard to look lightning in a bottle here,

1732
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 4: but you could look at uh, you know, Connor McDavid

1733
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 4: and wonder why somebody doing what he's doing isn't bringing

1734
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,120
Speaker 4: more people to hockey, right, Like, it is funny to

1735
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 4: me that you need somebody that is so good that

1736
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 4: people will change their perception of the league that they playing,

1737
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 4: because that certainly happened with the W There's no doubt

1738
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 4: about that show. Ay is that good and should be

1739
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 4: that good that it resonates? I honestly don't have the answer.

1740
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 4: I'm not smart enough to know why it hasn't necessarily

1741
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 4: clicked at that same level because you're one hundred percent right,

1742
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 4: think of how the not just he's every.

1743
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 2: Been at Caitlin Clark, Like, listen, Kitlin Clark's ridiculous, great

1744
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 2: player in the whole thing. But like I'm look at

1745
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 2: Otani and I go, yeah, he checks all those boxes too,

1746
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:37,720
Speaker 2: what doesn't he have? And it's maybe it's just that

1747
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 2: basketball is just a we have a love affair with

1748
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:46,680
Speaker 2: basketball in this country, that hey, we have fallen out

1749
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:50,600
Speaker 2: of love with baseball, that baseball really just is of

1750
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:51,719
Speaker 2: another time.

1751
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 4: Baseball has been friend zoned, and I don't know how

1752
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 4: you get out of the friend zone. You're like, you'll

1753
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:57,800
Speaker 4: hang out with him when you want to, but like,

1754
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:00,440
Speaker 4: I just don't know how you get out of that mindset.

1755
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:03,720
Speaker 4: I genuinely don't know this. This is It's interesting because

1756
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 4: I hadn't thought about it til you brought it up.

1757
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 4: But certainly it should be transcending. Why it doesn't And

1758
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 4: if show A doesn't transcend, what the hell does?

1759
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:11,560
Speaker 5: Like?

1760
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 4: What the hell? Ever?

1761
01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 3: Will you know?

1762
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:16,040
Speaker 4: That's a? That's a really that's a difficult question because

1763
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 4: I don't think Major League Baseball is not trying to

1764
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 4: market their stars. It's just I don't know. I don't

1765
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 4: know what you do in that situation, And like, what

1766
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 4: do you you know?

1767
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 3: I mean, you're more general on the sport.

1768
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:33,760
Speaker 4: I'm not a same head at all.

1769
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Like I'm may weren't into it, so I

1770
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 3: seek it out?

1771
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 4: What is it?

1772
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 5: Like?

1773
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 3: How come they don't have you And I mean, I

1774
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 3: know they got you to extent, but like.

1775
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:50,800
Speaker 4: No, they got it's part of my job, You're right,

1776
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 4: Like I don't wouldn't sit down and watch baseball if

1777
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 4: it wasn't part of my job, But like, what.

1778
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,600
Speaker 3: What is it? I guess it just has to be

1779
01:32:58,680 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 3: the sport.

1780
01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 2: If like the w grabbed you, it was a part

1781
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 2: of your job, but the WNBA grabbed you man like

1782
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 2: you you know, you know a lot about it, not

1783
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 2: just because it was your job, like you got into it.

1784
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:16,160
Speaker 4: I think there's an element of baseball feels like to me,

1785
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,719
Speaker 4: it feels like a much heavier lift. There's just so many,

1786
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:22,720
Speaker 4: so many games, so much catching up to do. And

1787
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 4: if we're being honest, like a lot of times, baseball

1788
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 4: fans are so hell bent on the history of the

1789
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 4: sport and very like baseball guy is a very special thing.

1790
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:36,560
Speaker 4: We all know that, right, Like baseball guy is so

1791
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 4: rooted in the don't mess with baseball, Like sometimes it

1792
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 4: doesn't feel like it's as well, Like it feels like

1793
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 4: we all sort of not not all of us, but

1794
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 4: a large portion of the country came together to the

1795
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 4: WNBA at the same time. So it was this discovery

1796
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 4: of a new thing for everybody at once. Sometimes the

1797
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 4: baseball it just feels like, hey, it's intimidating to get

1798
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:56,920
Speaker 4: into because there's so many games, there's so many players,

1799
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 4: there's so much history you should know, but you don't know.

1800
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 4: And then I would argue that baseball fans as a

1801
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 4: whole are not always the most welcoming to the new

1802
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:07,680
Speaker 4: fans coming in. So it's just it doesn't have that

1803
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 4: same thing. That's community point.

1804
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 2: It's a great point, man, it's a great point that

1805
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:17,200
Speaker 2: there is that that baseball already has a club.

1806
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

1807
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 2: That's a spot on point, man, I've ever thought of that.

1808
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 2: And we we do like to we do like to

1809
01:34:30,040 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 2: be the first. Like there's something about people, you know

1810
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:38,719
Speaker 2: that we you know, we're all wired as human beings,

1811
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:42,560
Speaker 2: like we want our own thing, right, like we want to.

1812
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,880
Speaker 2: It's why people like eclectic music, right even if they

1813
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:52,120
Speaker 2: they know that, you know, pop music is for a

1814
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 2: reason they want to be different, like, oh well I

1815
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 2: don't listen to that. I listened to this, right because

1816
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:03,759
Speaker 2: they want to be all most inventing the new sounds.

1817
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:04,880
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?

1818
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:09,280
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean and also, like God, forbid. You say

1819
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:12,640
Speaker 4: something wrong about baseball in general, you just get eviscerated

1820
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 4: for it. You know, it's it's it just it it

1821
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 4: is not to me. It's a lot like you're walking

1822
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,680
Speaker 4: into the Cafeterian High School and there's a table over

1823
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 4: on the side that like, the kids aren't that cool,

1824
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 4: but they think they are, and they really don't want

1825
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 4: anyone to join their party. That's what baseball has always

1826
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 4: felt like to me. The w felt like the party

1827
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 4: table over on the side and they're like, come on,

1828
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 4: come hang out, like everybody's hanging out here, look at

1829
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 4: this cool kid like that. It just it just opened

1830
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 4: up more easily because of that.

1831
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 2: To me, fat that's so interesting to me, And it's

1832
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:44,720
Speaker 2: funny because like I don't know, like you know, you

1833
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 2: know you are you are right so and in my

1834
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 2: city it's a big deal and it's always a big

1835
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 2: been a big deal. Now obviously football's football, but the

1836
01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:00,400
Speaker 2: town was always a baseball town. It means to be

1837
01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:03,640
Speaker 2: close too. Like you said, you know, baseball's are the

1838
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 2: friend zone. Whereas you know, it came from being football

1839
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:16,720
Speaker 2: like before, in the in the previous generation, baseball was

1840
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 2: bigger than if you go back to what nineties it switched,

1841
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:26,799
Speaker 2: But like in the early nineties, baseball was bigger than football.

1842
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it seems unfathomable, but it really was.

1843
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 4: Well, isn't that the word to the wise When anyone

1844
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 4: says football will never die, It's like, I don't think

1845
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 4: football will die anytime soon. I and God knows, maybe

1846
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:41,519
Speaker 4: it never will. But certainly you're right. If you went

1847
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 4: back in time to let's say, nineteen eighty five eighty six,

1848
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 4: and you told everybody that baseball would be largely irrelevant

1849
01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 4: nationally and football would be the thing that absolutely rules

1850
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 4: our society, I think people would have laughed at you.

1851
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:55,720
Speaker 4: Absolutely would have laughed at you.

1852
01:36:56,479 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I think you're I think you're bottle on.

1853
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 2: It's so interesting. But the World Series wasn't national thing

1854
01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 2: like everybody was. I remember being a kid when you

1855
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 2: were little. Did you do the same people when you

1856
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:14,840
Speaker 2: were little, Like it was like, oh my god, the

1857
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 2: World Series is on, and they were slowly that went

1858
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 2: away and then football took over.

1859
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 4: The World Series was such a stop and notice moment

1860
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 4: for every It was it was like the Super Bowl

1861
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 4: is now, but it was two weeks of it, you know,

1862
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 4: it's two weeks of of you know, games constantly like it.

1863
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 4: Just but also that was a time when finding sports

1864
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:40,560
Speaker 4: content was harder than ever, so we were we ate

1865
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,879
Speaker 4: what we were fed, you know. So we were fed baseball.

1866
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 4: It was like, well, this is awesome. But now you're

1867
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 4: fed every game from every place, from everywhere, and it's

1868
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 4: just it's become I mentioned watching Law and Order marathons earlier,

1869
01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 4: that's become baseball for a lot of people. It's just

1870
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 4: background noise. You know, it's background noise. And if you

1871
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:59,679
Speaker 4: can have a sport that's background noise, and the fans

1872
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,560
Speaker 4: of it are super protective of it. And you know,

1873
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 4: if you don't, you know, you don't necessarily feel the

1874
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,679
Speaker 4: most welcome to that background noise. Eventually just turn around.

1875
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:09,280
Speaker 4: It's like, man, I don't know, I don't know that

1876
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 4: that really grabs me. I don't know that I need

1877
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:12,560
Speaker 4: to be a part of that, like it. It's a

1878
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 4: lot of lyft for very little joy in that.

1879
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's shame, man. You know, I I'd love

1880
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 3: to see it, you know.

1881
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:23,840
Speaker 2: I think they've you've changed the game a little bit,

1882
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 2: and they made it faster, they made it fun.

1883
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:28,520
Speaker 3: I'd like to changes.

1884
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 4: Well, and it's funny when you mention it.

1885
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 2: Sport, man, it's like, right now, it's way better now

1886
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 2: than it was ten years ago.

1887
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 4: One of the top things that you'll hear people say

1888
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 4: me included is I don't love baseball, but I love

1889
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 4: going to games. I hear that all the time. The

1890
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:48,920
Speaker 4: number of my people in my life that'll be like, oh,

1891
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 4: do you like baseball? No, but I love going to games.

1892
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 4: How often do you hear that? Like, think of how

1893
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 4: weird it is for a sport to be something that

1894
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:58,840
Speaker 4: I'll go to Hartford Yard Goats whenever and whenever I

1895
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 4: can possibly get a chance of the arguts. I love

1896
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 4: going to it because, like, going to a game is

1897
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 4: so much fun, sitting outside with the buddies. You know,

1898
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 4: you're having a drink, it's a beautiful day. Baseball's onto

1899
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 4: the background, like it's perfect. But I don't remember the

1900
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 4: last time I just turned on a game and said,

1901
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:13,639
Speaker 4: let me watch seven innings of this, you know, Red

1902
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 4: Sox Yankees game. That's just it doesn't happen.

1903
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that's interesting.

1927
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 2: get it back to college football. And they kind of

1928
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 2: go through we were going through Saturday schedule for you

1929
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:42,880
Speaker 2: to kind of look into a good way for us

1930
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 2: to kind of look at some of the teams and

1931
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 2: some of the outlooks the outlook preseason wise. Next hour

1932
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 2: we'll get into NFL. But we went over Clemson, Penn State,

1933
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 2: we talked to Loto State, Alabama. Let me, uh, let

1934
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 2: me ask you about Texas because they're interesting, man. They

1935
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:10,280
Speaker 2: they could be really good at Seccene. Now changes they

1936
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 2: look on paper, I mean yours back, they look super strong.

1937
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 5: Man.

1938
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:20,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think there's a real weakness for Texas

1939
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:25,000
Speaker 4: right Like, it's just it's a great, great team with heavy,

1940
01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:28,920
Speaker 4: heavy expectations coming straight in and you know, not for nothing. Also,

1941
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 4: they sort of won. I know, you know, you never

1942
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 4: know how the schedule is going to play out. And

1943
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 4: I know people say, well they're going to at Michigan.

1944
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 4: That's fine, they got to go to Michigan. They take

1945
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 4: on Oklahoma obviously, But when you compare the gauntlet that

1946
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 4: Oklahoma has in their first year the SEC versus the

1947
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 4: gauntlet that Texas has, I just want to remind everybody

1948
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 4: not all schedules in college football are created equally. I

1949
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 4: think the schedule is pretty favorable to Texas. I'd be

1950
01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:55,839
Speaker 4: stunned if Texas isn't in the College Football Playoffs, Absolutely stunned.

1951
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 4: And Quinn Eewers becomes really interesting because a lot of

1952
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 4: nil money, a lot of nil money was given obviously

1953
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,960
Speaker 4: to arch Manning, and so all these expectations and Quinn

1954
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:08,720
Speaker 4: has done nothing but manage keep him on the bench,

1955
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:11,600
Speaker 4: which I think, in and of itself is pretty spectacular.

1956
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 4: So that was the number three defense against the run

1957
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 4: last year, one of the best defenses in the country.

1958
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 4: They lost some people, but they're still going to be very,

1959
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 4: very good. I just I feel like this team has

1960
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 4: everything they need to be a national championship contender. I'm

1961
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 4: not going to say Texas is back, because that always

1962
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 4: bites us in the butt, but I think Texas is

1963
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:31,599
Speaker 4: going to walk into the SEC and immediately cement themselves

1964
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 4: as one of the absolute top teams in the conference.

1965
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 4: I'd be pretty stunned at the end of all this

1966
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 4: they're not. I've got Texas finishing third in the SEC,

1967
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 4: but I could see them going anywhere from two to four.

1968
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:45,559
Speaker 4: And that's pretty amazing for your first year.

1969
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 2: In I know, right, I mean, but I to your point,

1970
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 2: I don't see really any weaknesses. You know, I look

1971
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:55,720
Speaker 2: at them and they look great up and down. Hey,

1972
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 2: by the way, speaking of Texas, you see with Xavier

1973
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 2: Worthies the one for the Chiefs. No, oh my god, dude,

1974
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:08,400
Speaker 2: you sleep about sleeper. He's going to be a sleeper

1975
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:13,120
Speaker 2: you want. Andy Reid is gonna This kid's gonna have

1976
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 2: a role this year.

1977
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,280
Speaker 4: Look, when he was drafted, I thought it was a

1978
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 4: great pick, especially for that offense. And I think he's

1979
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 4: a great player. So I'm not surprised by that at all.

1980
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 4: You know, you get a little benefit of the doubt

1981
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 4: too when you go into Andy Reid. So yeah, none

1982
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 4: of that surprises me. I think people need to be

1983
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,640
Speaker 4: a little bit more aware of, you know, sort of

1984
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:35,000
Speaker 4: what Andy can do there and what Patrick Mahomes is

1985
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 4: going to bring out, Especially with injuries at the wide

1986
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:39,920
Speaker 4: receiver position, there's gonna be opportunity. Yeah, a hundred percent right.

1987
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:43,680
Speaker 2: And you know it's funny because I mean obviously that

1988
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 2: was their biggest weekness last year and with the injuries now,

1989
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I this kid, this kid's a player. I like,

1990
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 2: I love Worthy. I think he's a player. I think

1991
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 2: he's going to have an impact right away.

1992
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 3: H let's keep.

1993
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:05,120
Speaker 2: Going Miami against Florida. How about that game Florida Miami

1994
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 2: on Saturday?

1995
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:07,680
Speaker 3: Do you remember that game?

1996
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:12,559
Speaker 4: Used to be Yeah, that game used to like, look

1997
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:15,560
Speaker 4: for anybody young listening right now, Florida Miami used to

1998
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 4: sort of shut down the world right like it just

1999
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:22,839
Speaker 4: it meant so much. And now, you know, frankly, honestly,

2000
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 4: my heart breaks for Billy Napier in Florida this year

2001
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:28,920
Speaker 4: because the schedule Gods, you know, absolutely, it's the toughest

2002
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:30,920
Speaker 4: schedule in the country or one of the toughest schedules

2003
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 4: in the country. I don't love anything about this schedule

2004
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:35,840
Speaker 4: for them. They're gonna have their hands full of Texas,

2005
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 4: A and m They got to go to Tennessee. They

2006
01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 4: gotta take on Georgia, they gotta play Texas, they gotta

2007
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 4: play LSU. In fact, in a row, they played Georgia, Texas,

2008
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 4: LSU Ole miss in a row. Like Billiy Napier and

2009
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 4: Florida could be pretty good and still lose six games

2010
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,760
Speaker 4: this year. It's wild how bad their schedule is, how

2011
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 4: tough their schedule is. And Florida is added to that

2012
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 4: conversation I had earlier about teams like you know, Wisconsin,

2013
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:01,720
Speaker 4: Nebraska that are trying to figure out what they look

2014
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:04,600
Speaker 4: like in this new world, like Florida might not be

2015
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:12,280
Speaker 4: terrible because of their schedule. Finish looking at it, eleven twelve, geez.

2016
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 2: Look at it. So here just just start to finish.

2017
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 2: To put it in context. So you got Miami to

2018
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 2: start to cease, and then you got Samford. All right,

2019
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 2: So then here it starts Texas A and m at

2020
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 2: Mississippi State, you get UCF. Then at Tennessee home against Kentucky.

2021
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:38,360
Speaker 2: And like my man Chuck, who is a great listener,

2022
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 2: who is a fella, He's like Kentucky. He's down there,

2023
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:47,679
Speaker 2: he knows the deal. Kentucky's gonna be good at Georgia,

2024
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 2: at Texas home, LSU home, Oh Miss at Florida State

2025
01:45:57,600 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 2: to end it.

2026
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,200
Speaker 3: Oh god, I think.

2027
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 4: They could lose the games, Like I think they could

2028
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,639
Speaker 4: genuinely finish the season with the five game losing streak.

2029
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:10,400
Speaker 4: And it doesn't mean they're bad. It just means that, Look,

2030
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:12,559
Speaker 4: this isn't a hot take. Florida is not as good

2031
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 4: as Georgia, not as good as Texas, not as good

2032
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 4: as l s U, not as good to an old mess,

2033
01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 4: and not as good as Florida. Florida State, like all

2034
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 4: of those teams right now, in a neutral field, would

2035
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 4: be favored over Florida I just they don't have the

2036
01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:26,800
Speaker 4: talent to be able to compete with those teams right now.

2037
01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:32,960
Speaker 2: Wow, that's gold man, I ain't seen that skill that

2038
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:34,640
Speaker 2: schedules nasty.

2039
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn man, Yeah they got no shot.

2040
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 5: Wow.

2041
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:46,560
Speaker 3: Uh we talked about Bama. It's funny, man. I do

2042
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 3: love that no Row, Yeah, I do too.

2043
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:52,799
Speaker 4: I love monro lot like. I think I get your.

2044
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 2: Point as to why you're not as bullish on them,

2045
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 2: and I think you make a good point. I love

2046
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:00,439
Speaker 2: that kid that I love that kid.

2047
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 4: Man.

2048
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:02,439
Speaker 3: I'm just curious where he's at.

2049
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:05,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he has a real shot to be

2050
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 4: a Heisman contender if things go well. Yeah, you know,

2051
01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 4: you are asking him to learn an all new system

2052
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 4: coming into this, so I think there's a little bit

2053
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 4: of you know, hey, wait and see, I trust I

2054
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:19,240
Speaker 4: only trust coaches so much to be able to get

2055
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:21,720
Speaker 4: the best out of them, right, So let's see what

2056
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 4: that looks like. But you know, Jalen Mirroll has all

2057
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 4: the tools to be a superstar, absolutely no doubt.

2058
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 2: Should we think about the old miss you buy it?

2059
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean they're loaded, yeah, Jackson Dark, I mean they're

2060
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 2: they're loaded, that's for sure.

2061
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're loaded. All over the place. I mean, there's

2062
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 4: just they I don't look at them and say, man,

2063
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:47,760
Speaker 4: the way they've used the transfer portal is reminiscent of

2064
01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 4: if you take Michigan State Meltucker what he did his

2065
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 4: first year where he used the portal to you Kenneth

2066
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:53,400
Speaker 4: Walker and a bunch of other players, and all of

2067
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 4: a sudden he got himself ten million dollars a year.

2068
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 4: Like they've taken that, and they've elevated that game right

2069
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 4: like the way that they've gone, and basically Lane Kiffin

2070
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:03,840
Speaker 4: has said, all right, we are going to we are

2071
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 4: going to use the transfer portal like free agency, and

2072
01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:10,120
Speaker 4: we are going to absolutely build. If this works for

2073
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:12,639
Speaker 4: Ole Miss, it changes the way everybody does business moving

2074
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 4: forward because they are going to try and build a

2075
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,000
Speaker 4: super team every single year. They have a quarterback that's

2076
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 4: been in this system for a minute that knows it.

2077
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 4: The only thing that I would say is that in

2078
01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 4: a playoff game, we'll find out how great Lane Kiffin

2079
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 4: actually is as a coach. He's got to win some

2080
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:29,920
Speaker 4: of these big games against big teams. But I think

2081
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:33,240
Speaker 4: their schedule is relatively favorable. They obviously have to take

2082
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:35,800
Speaker 4: on Georgia this year. That's going to be tough. Oklahoma

2083
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 4: is a tough matchup. They should be able to win

2084
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:39,320
Speaker 4: that though. I think they're better than LSU as it

2085
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 4: stands right now. So for me, I'd be stunned if

2086
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:44,760
Speaker 4: ole Miss also isn't in the college football playoff. But

2087
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 4: moreover than that, ole Miss has got to win some

2088
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:49,759
Speaker 4: playoff games. They have too much talent with the quarterback

2089
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 4: that's been around for a minute for me to look

2090
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:53,960
Speaker 4: at it and say just making the playoffs is enough.

2091
01:48:54,160 --> 01:48:55,599
Speaker 4: I think ole Miss has a real shot at being

2092
01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 4: in the national championship game.

2093
01:48:57,520 --> 01:49:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you're right. I think you're uh,

2094
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 3: you're spot on.

2095
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 5: That.

2096
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 3: What we're gonna see next year of the portal is

2097
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:09,680
Speaker 3: is just a free for all.

2098
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 4: How wild is Oxford gonna be if ole Miss is

2099
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 4: actually a like I've got him finishing second in the SEC.

2100
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:22,559
Speaker 4: How wild is that because that environment is wild when

2101
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:26,080
Speaker 4: they suck? How crazy is it going to be down

2102
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:29,640
Speaker 4: there if ole Miss is actually a national championship caliber like,

2103
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,720
Speaker 4: I desperately want ole Miss to be the number one

2104
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 4: team in the country, even if it's for one week,

2105
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 4: just because I want to see what the environment would

2106
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 4: be like down there for the number one team in

2107
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 4: all the land. Co he just in check that in

2108
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 4: my veins. That would be such an iconic college football moment.

2109
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 3: I know, dude, I know.

2110
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 2: I mean they got let's see, so you know their

2111
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 2: their line was a problem, right, Yeah, So right off

2112
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 2: the bat, he got the two big guards from Washington

2113
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 2: that are both over three hundred pounds for the interior,

2114
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:13,000
Speaker 2: and they got a commitment from North Carolina diego pounds

2115
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,800
Speaker 2: to left tackle. And then and then on defense, I'm

2116
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:20,679
Speaker 2: just reading the storts. It's unbelievable, man, with they add

2117
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 2: they add three studs to that defense just to stop

2118
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 2: the run. Oh my god, Nolan Chris Paul Jr. Princely,

2119
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 2: they got that kid. He could play. Oh my god,

2120
01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 2: the way he did it is so interesting. And he's

2121
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:43,840
Speaker 2: smart because you're right, that's the name of the game.

2122
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 2: You got n Il money. Let's go and then and

2123
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:54,240
Speaker 2: no run. Now here's I'll throw this say how soon

2124
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:55,600
Speaker 2: until one of.

2125
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 3: These schools.

2126
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:03,160
Speaker 2: Says you can't try to poach my players in the

2127
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:06,320
Speaker 2: portal because that's tampering.

2128
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 4: I mean, that seems like the inevitable that when we

2129
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 4: talk about ways the NCAA can change things because me,

2130
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:14,640
Speaker 4: let me be very clear, I think this is the

2131
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 4: best era of college football in history. I think this

2132
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:19,639
Speaker 4: is going to be the most incredible season in college

2133
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 4: football history. And if you're listening right now and you're

2134
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 4: hearing us talk about the transfer portal, and you're rolling

2135
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 4: your eyes and you're yelling about what's bad about college football,

2136
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 4: kindly shut up, because this is everything that's good about

2137
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 4: college football. The fact is Olmus decided they wanted to

2138
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 4: make a run at a national championship game, so they

2139
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:38,720
Speaker 4: raise the money and they're making the run. That is

2140
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,479
Speaker 4: empowering to me. I love everything about it. But when

2141
01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 4: we talk about what's going to change, like the name

2142
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:46,160
Speaker 4: nim Is likeness, stuff isn't going to change because anytime

2143
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:48,400
Speaker 4: somebody tries to throttle it back, it's going to be

2144
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:50,760
Speaker 4: challenged in court and they are going to lose. Like

2145
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 4: this is, courts will step in and say that you

2146
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 4: cannot collude against these players, like the NCAA lost their

2147
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:59,680
Speaker 4: opportunity to do this. So barring Congress stepping in and

2148
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:01,800
Speaker 4: making some sort of massive statement, which I don't think

2149
01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:04,680
Speaker 4: they're gonna do anytime soon, this is college football. So

2150
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 4: how can college football navigate it well. They could start

2151
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:10,760
Speaker 4: to come up with standards and practices and rules for

2152
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,360
Speaker 4: how the transfer portal can be used by other schools,

2153
01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:17,080
Speaker 4: not denying kids any opportunity, but simply trying to create

2154
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:19,599
Speaker 4: a better structure for what happens when a kid wants

2155
01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 4: to enter the transfer portal. That's a real thing, and

2156
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:23,560
Speaker 4: I think that's gonna happen soon. You see more and

2157
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 4: more schools too, hiring gms now, salary cap people, nil

2158
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:29,560
Speaker 4: people like. All of these things that we've seen in

2159
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,600
Speaker 4: the NFL, they now exist in college football. So this

2160
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:35,080
Speaker 4: is going to end up looking just like the NFL

2161
01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 4: in a few years, I think.

2162
01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:38,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. In fact, that.

2163
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:44,560
Speaker 2: At the Eagles's a guy named Jake Rosenberg who was

2164
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:49,320
Speaker 2: the number two to Howie Roseman. He left to start

2165
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:53,439
Speaker 2: his own consulting firm. He just signed up Oklahoma and

2166
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 2: Nebraska and he's got a couple other teams on the hook.

2167
01:52:59,880 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 2: So basically, he's a consultant to come in and do

2168
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,600
Speaker 2: build an NFL front office for you.

2169
01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 3: So he's going to come in and build the front

2170
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 3: office for you. This is what they need.

2171
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:15,600
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a brilliant idea by the way, and

2172
01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 4: should I mean good for him on being ahead of it.

2173
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,080
Speaker 4: He's gonna make a lot of money doing it. But

2174
01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 4: also schools need this, and look, cousin, I've died on

2175
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 4: the sill again. But I will remind everybody that might

2176
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:27,719
Speaker 4: be listening to this the first time. If your favorite

2177
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:30,479
Speaker 4: school is struggling to figure this out and you want

2178
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:32,479
Speaker 4: to make a difference, I would talk to your school

2179
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:34,760
Speaker 4: and I would ask them why do we not have

2180
01:53:34,840 --> 01:53:38,200
Speaker 4: a name, Image, likeness major program? Because to me, what

2181
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 4: I would do if I was an ad right now

2182
01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 4: in a school, I would create the opportunity to major

2183
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 4: for everybody, not just the athletes. Like, let's say you

2184
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 4: got kids there in your law school that want to

2185
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 4: be agents. Let's say you got kids that want to

2186
01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:50,640
Speaker 4: be marketing brand reps. Let's say you've got kids that

2187
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:53,840
Speaker 4: want to run social media for football teams and football players. Like,

2188
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:57,639
Speaker 4: there's a great opportunity to start a program where actually

2189
01:53:57,760 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 4: these kids can start to connect with each other, and

2190
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 4: then by connecting with each other, you might be creating

2191
01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 4: relationships to go into like Rich Paul with Lebron, you

2192
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:07,760
Speaker 4: might be creating relationships to go into the next level.

2193
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:10,320
Speaker 4: And instead of trying to step bury your head in

2194
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:13,400
Speaker 4: the stand like an Ostrich Gott and embrace what NIL is.

2195
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:15,720
Speaker 4: Get yourself free labor from the kids that are in

2196
01:54:15,800 --> 01:54:18,559
Speaker 4: your program. Let them start working these marketing deals. Let

2197
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 4: them start making money for everybody. Create a real atmosphere

2198
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 4: around NIL that makes your school, not just athletes, but

2199
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:26,760
Speaker 4: everybody win. And I think schools will win in the

2200
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:28,840
Speaker 4: long term. This is the future of college sports to me.

2201
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:31,040
Speaker 3: Well said, Well said.

2202

2218
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:37,040
Speaker 2: then NFL. Then we're on the horizon, so cutdown days

2219
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:42,360
Speaker 2: coming up next week. So next next Saturday is we

2220
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 2: said earlier, just to put a bow on it. Farida State,

2221
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:49,440
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech today and then next Saturday. You had your

2222
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 2: great early games, like we told your collapse in Georgia,

2223
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:58,040
Speaker 2: Penn State, West Virginia. Then you're gonna have Tennessee, Oklahoma State,

2224
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 2: all ranked teams. Ohio State's in action in Texas, Colorado

2225
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 2: State at three thirty, Miami, Florida at three thirty, and

2226
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:12,280
Speaker 2: then that takes you into the evening, and there's a

2227
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 2: couple of good ones. There is uh well, Alabama's playing

2228
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:21,200
Speaker 2: at night. You also have old miss Kansas State. They're

2229
01:56:21,200 --> 01:56:26,240
Speaker 2: playing all the uh the donkeys. But then Notre Dame

2230
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 2: and Texas A and m on ABC. I mean, this

2231
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:36,120
Speaker 2: is it like that that's gonna be incredible. Oregon and

2232
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 2: Michigan are playing as well. Michigan's got Fresno State and

2233
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 2: uh Ucla Hawaii.

2234
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 3: I mean, look at it. Look at the cards Saturday.

2235
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:47,760
Speaker 3: It's it's a full slate, buddy.

2236
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that Notre Dame Texas A and M game two.

2237
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 4: So much on the line for Texas A and M.

2238
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:57,520
Speaker 4: I mean, really, if your Notre Dame, the playoff is

2239
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:00,160
Speaker 4: the expectation because you always feel like you're getting at

2240
01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 4: large bid and Notre Dame schedule is softer and sharman

2241
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 4: this year, so you know, I don't think they have

2242
01:57:05,720 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 4: a tunnel wiggle room obviously to screw up. And this

2243
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:12,800
Speaker 4: game is obviously at Texas A and M, so that's

2244
01:57:12,840 --> 01:57:14,960
Speaker 4: a big deal here. But man, if you're Texas A

2245
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:16,800
Speaker 4: and M, you're really trying to right the ship. And

2246
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 4: I think this is an opportunity if you can come

2247
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:21,640
Speaker 4: out and beat Notre Dame. It's an opportunity to tell

2248
01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:24,080
Speaker 4: this version of the SEC that you belong right now,

2249
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 4: because I just don't know what to make of where

2250
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:30,840
Speaker 4: this team is, you know. And it's it's interesting too

2251
01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:33,840
Speaker 4: because if you're Texas A and M, you're head coach

2252
01:57:33,920 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 4: Mike Elko a lot of familiarity with the quarterback he'll

2253
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:38,720
Speaker 4: be taken on at Notre Dame, so you know there's

2254
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:41,720
Speaker 4: a Riley Leonard is the quarterback and Notre Dame. Those

2255
01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:43,680
Speaker 4: guys know each other from their time together Duke, so

2256
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:47,560
Speaker 4: it's there's a lot in that matchup that really matters

2257
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:50,080
Speaker 4: to me. I expect Notre Dame to be able to roll,

2258
01:57:50,160 --> 01:57:52,920
Speaker 4: but Texas A and M. Really they got to prove

2259
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 4: that they're closer to, you know, matching up with the

2260
01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 4: Tennessees of the world than they are to the Bandis

2261
01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 4: of the world. And it feels like that Week one

2262
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 4: matchup is a big statement for them because I think

2263
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a tough year for A and M.

2264
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:06,000
Speaker 4: They're sort of middle of the pack at best in

2265
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 4: the SEC. They need to come out of the gates

2266
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:09,120
Speaker 4: and prove everybody wrong.

2267
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's I mean, they're they're they're they're up

2268
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 3: for it. Dude.

2269
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:21,040
Speaker 2: That conference is too good. Yeah, they got uh let's

2270
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 2: look at their schedule for a second. You get the Irish,

2271
01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 2: then you got McNeice, and you're at Florida and you're

2272
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:33,720
Speaker 2: home Bowling Green, then your home Arkansas, then your home Missouri,

2273
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:40,160
Speaker 2: then you're at Mississippi State, then you host LSU, then

2274
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 2: at South Carolina, home New Mexico State at Auburn and

2275
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:45,800
Speaker 2: then Texas.

2276
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:46,240
Speaker 5: Dude.

2277
01:58:47,440 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 4: But if you think about it, like to what I

2278
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 4: was saying, let's say they lose to Missouri, LSU, and

2279
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 4: Texas all excusable losses. Three losses in this this current

2280
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:00,640
Speaker 4: version of the SEC feels pretty good. If you lose

2281
01:59:00,680 --> 01:59:03,360
Speaker 4: to Notre Dame, four losses feels much different and you

2282
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:05,200
Speaker 4: get no wiggle room the rest of the year, you know.

2283
01:59:05,440 --> 01:59:08,720
Speaker 4: So it's that's where it gets. It's if you tell

2284
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 4: me that Texas, A and M comes out of the

2285
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:13,160
Speaker 4: season with three losses, I would feel pretty spectacular. I

2286
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 4: feel like it's more likely they come out with five losses,

2287
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:17,880
Speaker 4: and that's because Notre Dame and then one other slip

2288
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:19,720
Speaker 4: up somewhere along the way when the season doesn't really

2289
01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:22,000
Speaker 4: matter the way it should. So, you know, Auburn sitting

2290
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 4: here looking at him and saying, hey, why not us?

2291
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:24,240
Speaker 2: You know.

2292
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 4: So it's just amazing how different the narrative is around

2293
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:29,440
Speaker 4: the team depending on whether or not. That's why I

2294
01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:31,080
Speaker 4: think this week one matchup is so big.

2295
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 3: And so that's Sunday night, Well, have Sunday Night football.

2296
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:38,920
Speaker 3: It's it's a great game.

2297
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 2: USC LSU seven point thirty Sunday Night, Labor Day weekend.

2298
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that is going to be just again. Now

2299
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:50,520
Speaker 4: you're putting a standalone game together with the team in

2300
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:53,720
Speaker 4: the USC that is going through how much change constantly?

2301
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 4: It feels like there's constant change there with the coaching

2302
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:57,720
Speaker 4: staff trying to figure out how to actually play some

2303
01:59:57,840 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 4: semblance of defense. I'm not sure they can. And then

2304
02:00:00,360 --> 02:00:03,080
Speaker 4: you're taking on an LSU team that's trying to replace

2305
02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:04,560
Speaker 4: you know, one of the best players in the country

2306
02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 4: at the quarterback position. So obviously, you know everybody wants

2307
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:11,840
Speaker 4: us Miner to be you know, no drop off. But man,

2308
02:00:11,920 --> 02:00:15,400
Speaker 4: you got to see something there. So it LSU has

2309
02:00:15,440 --> 02:00:17,600
Speaker 4: an opportunity this year to surprise some people too. I

2310
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:19,640
Speaker 4: think this is a big, proven matchup for both of

2311
02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:22,800
Speaker 4: these teams. It's it's a perfect Sunday night, standalone college

2312
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:24,919
Speaker 4: football game in the modern environment.

2313
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:28,320
Speaker 2: Hey, let me ask you, because I'm disappointed the Labor

2314
02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:32,840
Speaker 2: Day night game stakes. Yep, Well, you get Florida State

2315
02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:37,600
Speaker 2: again right fresh off the trip from the Dublin and

2316
02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:38,800
Speaker 2: it boss to college.

2317
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:43,280
Speaker 4: Why I mean, you're basically conceding that everybody's drunk at

2318
02:00:43,280 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 4: the end of that Monday and they don't feel like

2319
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:47,120
Speaker 4: what I don't understand it at all. I thought that

2320
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:49,320
Speaker 4: was a lame pick for a game. And I think,

2321
02:00:49,520 --> 02:00:51,400
Speaker 4: you know, realistically, looking at some of the ones we

2322
02:00:51,480 --> 02:00:54,000
Speaker 4: talked about, like Clemson Georgia, you could have put that

2323
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:56,240
Speaker 4: on on Labor Day. That would have been great. Could

2324
02:00:56,240 --> 02:00:58,760
Speaker 4: have put you know, you could have put anything. It

2325
02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:00,800
Speaker 4: would have been better there. Notre Dame in Texas, A

2326
02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:01,920
Speaker 4: and M would have been better there too.

2327
02:01:02,240 --> 02:01:05,120
Speaker 2: Listen or at least move something to get like, at

2328
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:09,880
Speaker 2: least schedule the games right. Schedule some some tougher games

2329
02:01:09,920 --> 02:01:13,760
Speaker 2: and some interesting games that you could put on on

2330
02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:16,920
Speaker 2: Labor Day. I mean, I even think that Sunday there

2331
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:19,040
Speaker 2: should be like three like treat it like an NFL

2332
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 2: Sunday and early.

2333
02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 3: At mid and late.

2334
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:24,680
Speaker 2: You know, I agree talking with them all day exactly

2335
02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:27,080
Speaker 2: where the fellaws big NFL hour a head.

2336
02:01:27,720 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Next you're listening to sports radio radio.

2357
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:49,960
Speaker 2: card ahead from a betting standpoint with the Big Brain.

2358
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:54,120
Speaker 3: He will join us coming up in about a half hours,

2359
02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:56,120
Speaker 3: so we'll take a look at that.

2360
02:02:56,280 --> 02:03:02,880
Speaker 2: But let's look some NFL my man, all right, So

2361
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:08,000
Speaker 2: NFL big boy football, this is it the last weekend

2362
02:03:08,320 --> 02:03:13,000
Speaker 2: of preseason? Today is it? And then cutdowns come next week.

2363
02:03:13,040 --> 02:03:19,600
Speaker 2: There was a trade earlier in the week by the Eagles. Fitzy,

2364
02:03:19,720 --> 02:03:22,680
Speaker 2: I love this trade. The Eagles had a big hole

2365
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:28,480
Speaker 2: at third receiver and they get Jahan Dotson from Washington,

2366
02:03:29,440 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 2: and he's a dramatic upgrade to what they had. He's

2367
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 2: a guy, he's twenty four entering his third year, had

2368
02:03:38,200 --> 02:03:42,160
Speaker 2: some issues with confidence in the preseason, some drops, but

2369
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 2: he's a former number one pick, new regime in Washington,

2370
02:03:46,680 --> 02:03:48,800
Speaker 2: so it's easy to kind of use him to make

2371
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:49,760
Speaker 2: a statement.

2372
02:03:50,680 --> 02:03:51,880
Speaker 3: And so they trade him.

2373
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:56,600
Speaker 2: And he's a guy with aj Brown, DeVante Smith, Barkley

2374
02:03:56,640 --> 02:03:58,560
Speaker 2: out of the backfield, got it is a tight end.

2375
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:02,240
Speaker 2: He's their fifth option and in a lot of space

2376
02:04:02,280 --> 02:04:04,720
Speaker 2: he can get behind it. He can get behind the secondary.

2377
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:08,520
Speaker 2: So I love that from an Eagles offense standpoint, that's

2378
02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 2: good trade.

2379
02:04:09,560 --> 02:04:11,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I liked it a lot. And again I'll go

2380
02:04:11,720 --> 02:04:14,840
Speaker 4: back to his college career at the time covering it.

2381
02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:19,320
Speaker 4: Just a guy that always had a invisible escalator under him,

2382
02:04:19,360 --> 02:04:21,200
Speaker 4: like he can high point a football from anywhere. So

2383
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:24,920
Speaker 4: I think Johan Dotson was underutilized in the last regime.

2384
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 4: And sometimes you just need somebody to reignite the best

2385
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 4: of who you can be. We've seen the best of

2386
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:36,040
Speaker 4: who Johan Dotson could be, frankly repeatedly in college. I

2387
02:04:36,200 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 4: think that that shows in Philly. It's a great pickup. Look,

2388
02:04:39,760 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 4: it's not somebody that's gonna come in. He doesn't have

2389
02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:43,840
Speaker 4: to come in and be you know, the superstar, doesn't

2390
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:45,560
Speaker 4: have to come in and be the main guy. That

2391
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:48,520
Speaker 4: being said, he's gonna get a lot of numbers simply

2392
02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:51,200
Speaker 4: in my mind because he is the other option, gonna

2393
02:04:51,200 --> 02:04:54,160
Speaker 4: have same favorable secondary matchups. Like, I think this was

2394
02:04:54,160 --> 02:04:56,160
Speaker 4: a good pick. I still believe in Johandatson the player

2395
02:04:56,200 --> 02:04:56,520
Speaker 4: a lot.

2396
02:04:57,800 --> 02:05:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again like to your point, yeah, I mean

2397
02:05:00,480 --> 02:05:03,600
Speaker 2: you got a J. Brown, you got Devonte Smith. You

2398
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:07,160
Speaker 2: don't need you know, I mean you need. Look, when

2399
02:05:07,200 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 2: you're an eleven personnel, you know who's your third receiver,

2400
02:05:10,720 --> 02:05:14,360
Speaker 2: and now they have one and so's it's a pretty

2401
02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:17,200
Speaker 2: good you know, I think, pretty good, pretty good deal there.

2402
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:22,960
Speaker 2: So I'll start with you because we touched it a

2403
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:28,200
Speaker 2: little bit. But Gardner Minshew is your quarterback? Thoughts?

2404
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, look, I'm a little surprised because

2405
02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 4: I don't think either quarterback did anything to separate themselves.

2406
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:37,560
Speaker 4: So with that being said, I thought of no one separated.

2407
02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:39,760
Speaker 4: Aiden would get the job simply because he's young and

2408
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:41,320
Speaker 4: it's been around for a minute and maybe you want

2409
02:05:41,360 --> 02:05:43,640
Speaker 4: to see if you can develop something. But this really

2410
02:05:43,680 --> 02:05:46,120
Speaker 4: comes down to the fact that to me, this puts

2411
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:48,640
Speaker 4: all the pressure in the world on offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.

2412
02:05:48,760 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 4: Now Getsy was the offensive coordinator in Chicago withusin fields

2413
02:05:52,280 --> 02:05:54,560
Speaker 4: that obviously didn't work out for either the player or

2414
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 4: the coach. But the one thing we have to remember

2415
02:05:56,920 --> 02:05:59,920
Speaker 4: is that last year the Colts were on the brink

2416
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:02,320
Speaker 4: of the playoffs, not because of Gardner, but because Shane

2417
02:06:02,360 --> 02:06:06,000
Speaker 4: Steichen did a magnificent job working a game plan that

2418
02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:07,840
Speaker 4: got the best out of Gardner Minshew. So now I

2419
02:06:07,880 --> 02:06:10,880
Speaker 4: look at Luke Getsy and say, Okay, your job is

2420
02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:13,920
Speaker 4: to do every bit the job with Gardner Minshew that

2421
02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:17,200
Speaker 4: I don't know another coach just did. So I think

2422
02:06:17,240 --> 02:06:19,520
Speaker 4: that's why it becomes to me it launches a ton

2423
02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:21,880
Speaker 4: of pressure on Luke Getzy to be able to get

2424
02:06:21,880 --> 02:06:24,560
Speaker 4: the most most out of this offense. I think it

2425
02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:28,480
Speaker 4: launches a ton of pressure on him to be able

2426
02:06:28,560 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 4: to design things that get guys open. But I also think,

2427
02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:33,440
Speaker 4: you know, not for nothing, and you know the studying

2428
02:06:33,520 --> 02:06:36,320
Speaker 4: with Baldi, what do they want? Like every offense has

2429
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:38,160
Speaker 4: to know what their identity is. I think the Raiders

2430
02:06:38,240 --> 02:06:40,960
Speaker 4: offense is identity is going to be two tight ends

2431
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 4: with the rollout quarterback that's throwing the ball six to

2432
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:45,640
Speaker 4: eight yards down the field, trying to make something happen

2433
02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:49,360
Speaker 4: that way. So in that sense, Aidan O'Connell has no athleticism.

2434
02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:50,400
Speaker 4: This kind of made sense.

2435
02:06:51,920 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you said it earlier we talking about but

2436
02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:57,120
Speaker 2: you know their placeholders, I mean, and you get it.

2437
02:06:58,960 --> 02:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Bode Nicks in Denver looks good, right like, it looks

2438
02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:08,240
Speaker 2: like Sean Payton as a quarterback. And when Sean Payton

2439
02:07:08,320 --> 02:07:13,640
Speaker 2: as a quarterback little dangerous. How do you look at

2440
02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:18,080
Speaker 2: your neighboring Broncos in that AFC West.

2441
02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:21,440
Speaker 4: Look, Bonix has looked really good. But go back to

2442
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 4: his college career, especially at Auburn, and really examine his

2443
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:30,040
Speaker 4: road and away splits. There's drastic versions. I've said this

2444
02:07:30,120 --> 02:07:32,040
Speaker 4: for years, Bo give it them, Bo take it away.

2445
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:35,640
Speaker 4: So you know, we've got to see this in live action,

2446
02:07:36,040 --> 02:07:37,560
Speaker 4: and frankly, I've got to see what he looks like

2447
02:07:37,680 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 4: at Arrowhead. He didn't struggle as much in the PAC

2448
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:43,080
Speaker 4: twelve in Oregon with the road splits as much, but

2449
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:45,760
Speaker 4: also that was the PAC twelve, right, So to me,

2450
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:48,960
Speaker 4: no discredit, but also a little bit of discredit. I

2451
02:07:49,040 --> 02:07:51,280
Speaker 4: think what does he look like on the road, What

2452
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:53,760
Speaker 4: does he look like against non vanilla offenses. I think

2453
02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:56,200
Speaker 4: Bo's pretty good. But I'm not going to buy into

2454
02:07:56,240 --> 02:07:58,440
Speaker 4: any of this like massive, oh my god, a hype

2455
02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:01,000
Speaker 4: that we're getting right now from some people on Boatecks.

2456
02:08:01,080 --> 02:08:02,960
Speaker 4: I just let's wait and see what it looks like

2457
02:08:03,040 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 4: in the actual regular season, see what he's taking on there.

2458
02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:08,520
Speaker 4: I still think, you know, you've got a decent quarterback,

2459
02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:13,800
Speaker 4: not a great one. We'll see. Spoke like a man,

2460
02:08:14,440 --> 02:08:16,960
Speaker 4: all right, man, I mean, let's just say this. I'm

2461
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:21,400
Speaker 4: not losing sleep suddenly, like super super scared of the possibility.

2462
02:08:20,840 --> 02:08:25,520
Speaker 2: About when they got its chiefs, right, yeah, exactly exactly

2463
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:28,800
Speaker 2: what you're sake divisions to goat is what it is.

2464
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:31,400
Speaker 2: It's just some news around we're going up through the

2465
02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:34,280
Speaker 2: through the NFL. Some of the news of the week,

2466
02:08:35,080 --> 02:08:40,560
Speaker 2: uh speak of quarterbacks. My god, the Steelers. Oh Ross

2467
02:08:40,960 --> 02:08:47,120
Speaker 2: is so cooked. Yep, he's just so done. Like I

2468
02:08:47,240 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 2: feel sorry for the Steelers. Man, Oh, you gotta got

2469
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:53,480
Speaker 2: to go. You're gonna try to have to go with

2470
02:08:53,600 --> 02:08:56,120
Speaker 2: fields and see if you can make something with fields.

2471
02:08:56,320 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 4: Which is what I remember predicting from the outset like

2472
02:08:58,640 --> 02:09:00,840
Speaker 4: even look at the financials on like, I just don't

2473
02:09:00,840 --> 02:09:02,720
Speaker 4: think it makes sense for us to win this job,

2474
02:09:03,120 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 4: and he hasn't done anything to actually win the dang thing. So,

2475
02:09:06,240 --> 02:09:09,240
Speaker 4: you know, And I talked on Yahoo Sports this week

2476
02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:11,880
Speaker 4: on our show, I talked to Charles Robinson, our insider,

2477
02:09:11,880 --> 02:09:14,440
Speaker 4: and he made it clear that no decision has been made.

2478
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:16,760
Speaker 4: And if no decision has been made, then I think

2479
02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:19,280
Speaker 4: that the fact that the door is open for Justin

2480
02:09:19,320 --> 02:09:22,560
Speaker 4: Fields speaks to the poor play of Russell Wilson, like,

2481
02:09:22,600 --> 02:09:25,600
Speaker 4: because that's just fact to me. So I think Justin

2482
02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:28,400
Speaker 4: Fields wins this job. But also I wouldn't be surprised

2483
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:30,120
Speaker 4: if we end up with a rotating you know, maybe

2484
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:31,640
Speaker 4: it's this guy for a few weeks. Maybe it's this

2485
02:09:31,720 --> 02:09:33,520
Speaker 4: guy for a few weeks, and you just don't win.

2486
02:09:33,640 --> 02:09:35,280
Speaker 4: Like I'll say the same thing about the Raiders. If

2487
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:37,800
Speaker 4: it's Gardner, Minshew and then Aiden and then back to Gardner,

2488
02:09:37,840 --> 02:09:40,280
Speaker 4: you don't win that way. That's the that just tells

2489
02:09:40,280 --> 02:09:41,760
Speaker 4: you that your season with the you know what.

2490
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:48,360
Speaker 2: Now, I'll ask you this, give me three teams and

2491
02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:51,640
Speaker 2: we could do it by conference. Who you think their

2492
02:09:51,880 --> 02:09:55,560
Speaker 2: fortunes have changed? And it doesn't need to be dramatically,

2493
02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:58,880
Speaker 2: but have been altered by the preseason.

2494
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:04,160
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty fair to say Minnesota like comes

2495
02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:06,680
Speaker 4: to mind first because JJ McCarthy being out like that,

2496
02:10:06,840 --> 02:10:10,839
Speaker 4: that just I think that that absolutely that has tremendous meanings.

2497
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:13,200
Speaker 4: So I put them on that list.

2498
02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:17,640
Speaker 2: As we'll study the NFC, we'll go NFC and the

2499
02:10:17,880 --> 02:10:21,080
Speaker 2: Chiefs that whose fortunes have been altered, and it could

2500
02:10:21,160 --> 02:10:25,120
Speaker 2: be by play, what you've seen, what you've heard, injuries.

2501
02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:27,720
Speaker 4: I think, you know, I'll give the Seahawks a little

2502
02:10:27,720 --> 02:10:29,400
Speaker 4: bit of love here because I've been sort of out

2503
02:10:29,480 --> 02:10:33,280
Speaker 4: on that Seahawks defense, the thought being that it's going

2504
02:10:33,360 --> 02:10:36,800
Speaker 4: to need some time to gel together. But the Seahawks

2505
02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:40,280
Speaker 4: defense in the preseason has actually looked pretty good, So

2506
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:43,400
Speaker 4: you know, I put the Seahawks on that on that

2507
02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:46,240
Speaker 4: list of at least it's changing my mind a little

2508
02:10:46,240 --> 02:10:49,640
Speaker 4: bit with the Seahawks. And then I don't know that

2509
02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:52,040
Speaker 4: the fortunes have changed, but I would say that I

2510
02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:53,640
Speaker 4: think the Bears are sort of living up to the

2511
02:10:53,720 --> 02:10:56,600
Speaker 4: early height. You know that, So I was I was

2512
02:10:56,720 --> 02:10:58,680
Speaker 4: cautious with it. I'm no longer cautious. I think the

2513
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:00,400
Speaker 4: Bears have a real shot at the playoffs this year,

2514
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:01,400
Speaker 4: So I don't know that.

2515
02:11:01,440 --> 02:11:05,440
Speaker 2: That's yeah, yeah, no, I agree, No, you're right, I

2516
02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:08,200
Speaker 2: think he is. He's an upgrade.

2517
02:11:09,160 --> 02:11:09,280
Speaker 5: Uh.

2518
02:11:10,480 --> 02:11:14,160
Speaker 2: I get good vibes about Atlanta. I got a downturn

2519
02:11:14,280 --> 02:11:18,560
Speaker 2: about the Giants. I hear the Giants are just awful.

2520
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:24,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and well yeah, but the other thing is like

2521
02:11:25,080 --> 02:11:28,760
Speaker 4: what chance do they have once things start to erode

2522
02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:30,440
Speaker 4: for the Giants, what chance do they have to get

2523
02:11:30,440 --> 02:11:33,400
Speaker 4: it back on track? So you know, yeah, I love it.

2524
02:11:33,480 --> 02:11:35,240
Speaker 4: I love the Giants as that pick too, I'll give

2525
02:11:35,240 --> 02:11:35,880
Speaker 4: you that for sure.

2526
02:11:36,600 --> 02:11:36,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

2527
02:11:36,960 --> 02:11:40,160
Speaker 2: You know what people are talking about in the NFC

2528
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:44,160
Speaker 2: under the radar And obviously you got your Lions and

2529
02:11:44,240 --> 02:11:50,040
Speaker 2: your Grinton Packers and and and Niners and Eagles, but people,

2530
02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:53,000
Speaker 2: they swear to me, I heard it from like four

2531
02:11:53,080 --> 02:11:57,440
Speaker 2: different NFL people that the Buccaneers are going to be good.

2532
02:11:58,800 --> 02:12:03,280
Speaker 2: And as much as I'm like eh on Baker Mayfield,

2533
02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:06,040
Speaker 2: they're like, dude, like, look what at with golf?

2534
02:12:07,240 --> 02:12:07,360
Speaker 5: Right?

2535
02:12:07,520 --> 02:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Like, you don't you're not making him that face when

2536
02:12:10,160 --> 02:12:12,720
Speaker 2: it comes to Jared Goffe any more, are you? And

2537
02:12:13,240 --> 02:12:16,040
Speaker 2: they think the same thing can happen with Mayfield. And

2538
02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:20,840
Speaker 2: they love their defense and you know they're bullish ing

2539
02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:24,520
Speaker 2: with shot White and I go, all right, but it's

2540
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 2: four different guys told me that, So I just won

2541
02:12:27,480 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 2: the pants and along.

2542
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 4: No, I think the only difference that I would say

2543
02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:34,000
Speaker 4: is that golf still has the same offensive coordinator, and

2544
02:12:34,120 --> 02:12:37,240
Speaker 4: I really think that Canalis not being there. Let's see

2545
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:40,640
Speaker 4: what that means. But Baker was reinvented at the Super Bowl,

2546
02:12:40,880 --> 02:12:43,440
Speaker 4: you know, seeing him there and just talking to him

2547
02:12:43,440 --> 02:12:45,880
Speaker 4: about why success, and he talked about how he doesn't

2548
02:12:45,880 --> 02:12:47,600
Speaker 4: feel any pressure and he could just be himself and

2549
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:50,360
Speaker 4: all these things like there is something to reinvention for

2550
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:52,280
Speaker 4: some of these guys that have just been through the cookers.

2551
02:12:52,320 --> 02:12:54,360
Speaker 4: So I would love to see that. I also keep

2552
02:12:54,400 --> 02:12:56,680
Speaker 4: hearing people tell me that Arizona is just going to

2553
02:12:56,720 --> 02:12:59,800
Speaker 4: be absolutely dynamic offensively, almost dynamic to the point that

2554
02:13:00,200 --> 02:13:03,320
Speaker 4: they can make up for their abomination of a defense.

2555
02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:06,000
Speaker 4: I need to see that first. I'm not the same

2556
02:13:06,040 --> 02:13:08,160
Speaker 4: believer in Tyler Murray as everybody else right now, but

2557
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:11,480
Speaker 4: certainly people around me continue to tell me that Arizona's

2558
02:13:11,520 --> 02:13:12,320
Speaker 4: gonna be worth watching.

2559
02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:15,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I uh, I don't know.

2560
02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:22,040
Speaker 2: I let's go to AFC because the one team if

2561
02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:26,200
Speaker 2: it appears like the Colts are gonna be nasty. It

2562
02:13:26,360 --> 02:13:31,760
Speaker 2: appears that Stiking has Anthony Richardson poised and ready to

2563
02:13:31,840 --> 02:13:35,600
Speaker 2: come back and pick up short sample size. But he

2564
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:39,320
Speaker 2: looked good, He's looked good so far in the preseason.

2565
02:13:39,880 --> 02:13:41,840
Speaker 2: He threw that one pick, but he you know, the

2566
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:45,280
Speaker 2: pick six, but he he could be a dangerous weapon.

2567
02:13:46,040 --> 02:13:49,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's probably a pretty fair point. That Again,

2568
02:13:50,120 --> 02:13:52,839
Speaker 4: all all tips of the Caps right now go to Stichan.

2569
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:55,240
Speaker 4: Like sometimes you just have a coach that you know,

2570
02:13:55,360 --> 02:13:57,680
Speaker 4: if you've got McVeigh, you don't have to worry about

2571
02:13:57,720 --> 02:14:00,480
Speaker 4: the same things. And it just feels like Stiking has

2572
02:14:00,560 --> 02:14:02,400
Speaker 4: the pulse on this thing. So got to give him

2573
02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:05,120
Speaker 4: a lot of credit. I think Indy much better so

2574
02:14:05,200 --> 02:14:07,840
Speaker 4: far than I thought. I really came into this saying, hey,

2575
02:14:07,960 --> 02:14:10,160
Speaker 4: it's okay to give Indy an incomplete because what do

2576
02:14:10,240 --> 02:14:13,040
Speaker 4: we know yet we need? We know Anthony Richardson needs

2577
02:14:13,080 --> 02:14:14,880
Speaker 4: more game time and he didn't get that last year.

2578
02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:17,680
Speaker 4: I'll also say, in the same division, we don't know

2579
02:14:17,720 --> 02:14:19,520
Speaker 4: a lot about the Titans, and I think the Titans

2580
02:14:19,560 --> 02:14:22,400
Speaker 4: have looked better. There's this preseason so far than I expected.

2581
02:14:22,520 --> 02:14:25,280
Speaker 4: So you know, let's see because if if the Titans

2582
02:14:25,400 --> 02:14:27,120
Speaker 4: end up finding out that they do have an answer

2583
02:14:27,120 --> 02:14:29,440
Speaker 4: at quarterback and Will Levis, they got a lot of talent.

2584
02:14:29,840 --> 02:14:32,440
Speaker 4: There's talent on the offensive side of the ball. There's

2585
02:14:32,440 --> 02:14:34,840
Speaker 4: a lot of unknowns in who Callahan's going to be

2586
02:14:34,880 --> 02:14:36,880
Speaker 4: as a head coach. I think the Titans have looked

2587
02:14:36,920 --> 02:14:38,600
Speaker 4: a little better than I expected early on too.

2588
02:14:39,560 --> 02:14:42,360
Speaker 3: Did you see, Speaking of Will Levis, did you see

2589
02:14:42,400 --> 02:14:43,200
Speaker 3: his new cologne?

2590
02:14:43,640 --> 02:14:43,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

2591
02:14:43,840 --> 02:14:47,200
Speaker 4: God, yeah, Like you know, I wish, I wish somebody

2592
02:14:47,240 --> 02:14:48,840
Speaker 4: and his team would have said stop. But hey, I

2593
02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:51,400
Speaker 4: appreciate the entrepreneurial lials and go get that money. Will

2594
02:14:51,640 --> 02:14:53,560
Speaker 4: You'll get that money. You go get that bag for

2595
02:14:53,640 --> 02:14:54,880
Speaker 4: the Mayo mail bag.

2596
02:14:55,200 --> 02:14:55,640
Speaker 3: That's right.

2597
02:14:55,800 --> 02:15:02,320
Speaker 2: So he gave a Mayon A's scented cologne because he's

2598
02:15:02,400 --> 02:15:04,040
Speaker 2: such a fan of Mayo.

2599
02:15:05,440 --> 02:15:12,120
Speaker 4: M that's Mayo's disgusting. Like it's not desinarately, Yeah, like

2600
02:15:12,240 --> 02:15:14,320
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't even like because it has too

2601
02:15:14,400 --> 02:15:17,800
Speaker 4: much Mayo in it. Like I'm out, Like Mayo is

2602
02:15:17,920 --> 02:15:20,680
Speaker 4: as absolutely you put Mayo on it and you can

2603
02:15:20,760 --> 02:15:22,040
Speaker 4: just throw it away from me. I don't even want

2604
02:15:22,080 --> 02:15:24,120
Speaker 4: to taste it. Like IM out And unless it's the

2605
02:15:24,200 --> 02:15:25,800
Speaker 4: Duke's Mayo Bowl, which is the best of all the

2606
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:27,480
Speaker 4: bowl games, and Dukes, I love you, call me back,

2607
02:15:28,040 --> 02:15:30,640
Speaker 4: but if it's actual, like just you want me to

2608
02:15:30,680 --> 02:15:32,440
Speaker 4: eat mayo, No, I'm out, Like I'm out of mayo,

2609
02:15:32,560 --> 02:15:35,440
Speaker 4: I'm out on whatever, miracle whip, all of those things.

2610
02:15:35,720 --> 02:15:38,000
Speaker 4: It's just they're all they don't belong in sandwiches. They

2611
02:15:38,040 --> 02:15:40,800
Speaker 4: don't belong in food. If your summer dish that you

2612
02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:42,800
Speaker 4: bring to a party has mayo in it, shame on.

2613
02:15:42,880 --> 02:15:45,280
Speaker 4: You do better, be better. Like it's just there's nothing

2614
02:15:45,320 --> 02:15:47,720
Speaker 4: about the Mayo game that I even respect.

2615
02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:50,840
Speaker 3: I know nothing about the Bao game. That's it's funny.

2616
02:15:50,880 --> 02:15:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan either, but I do love the

2617
02:15:53,800 --> 02:15:57,280
Speaker 2: Mayo Ball because the Duke's Mao Ball just because the

2618
02:15:57,400 --> 02:16:00,840
Speaker 2: coach gets the mayo bad is you know, fa fantastic, right,

2619
02:16:01,000 --> 02:16:07,600
Speaker 2: This is great theater. I hear Buffalo's run game is

2620
02:16:08,280 --> 02:16:10,800
Speaker 2: looking really really strong.

2621
02:16:12,040 --> 02:16:14,880
Speaker 4: Which it needs to write like, I mean, this is

2622
02:16:15,040 --> 02:16:17,960
Speaker 4: and and look, the death of the Bills is reported

2623
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:21,080
Speaker 4: annually and never happens. So you know, I think Buffalo

2624
02:16:21,200 --> 02:16:23,240
Speaker 4: is going to be just fine if they can figure

2625
02:16:23,240 --> 02:16:26,160
Speaker 4: out how it's to me, the issue is not running

2626
02:16:26,200 --> 02:16:29,680
Speaker 4: the ball and hopefully they fix this when they change

2627
02:16:29,720 --> 02:16:32,280
Speaker 4: offensive coordinators last year. The issue is actually having the

2628
02:16:32,320 --> 02:16:34,840
Speaker 4: discipline to run the football during the game, right like,

2629
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:37,240
Speaker 4: And that's that's where I think they just got to be.

2630
02:16:37,440 --> 02:16:39,600
Speaker 4: They've got to be disciplined in their play calling one

2631
02:16:39,680 --> 02:16:42,360
Speaker 4: hundred percent of the way. So I think there's an

2632
02:16:42,400 --> 02:16:45,720
Speaker 4: opportunity for Buffalo. I think Buffalo's still very very good

2633
02:16:45,760 --> 02:16:49,640
Speaker 4: by the way. I hear that.

2634
02:16:51,200 --> 02:16:55,920
Speaker 2: We talked about this before, but the Deshaun Watson thing

2635
02:16:56,080 --> 02:17:00,640
Speaker 2: that there's more struggles and the rest store arm.

2636
02:17:00,760 --> 02:17:03,640
Speaker 3: Dude, yeah, sore arm. What are we doing?

2637
02:17:04,040 --> 02:17:06,080
Speaker 4: I'm out on the I'm out on the quarterback position

2638
02:17:06,160 --> 02:17:08,800
Speaker 4: for the Browns, which only stinks because I thought they'd

2639
02:17:08,840 --> 02:17:11,280
Speaker 4: be a sleeper this year and now I just don't

2640
02:17:11,320 --> 02:17:12,960
Speaker 4: know that I can call it. Like when you talk

2641
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:15,400
Speaker 4: about teams that I think we can downgrade from the preseason,

2642
02:17:15,800 --> 02:17:19,039
Speaker 4: I think the Cleveland Browns belong on that list one

2643
02:17:19,120 --> 02:17:22,080
Speaker 4: hundred percent because I just I've seen nothing that I

2644
02:17:22,160 --> 02:17:23,280
Speaker 4: can trust in any way.

2645
02:17:23,320 --> 02:17:28,720
Speaker 2: Shape shamee man. And I like damn man. I like

2646
02:17:28,840 --> 02:17:31,120
Speaker 2: the way I mean, I love that to you. I

2647
02:17:31,200 --> 02:17:33,080
Speaker 2: like that I like that Kevin Stevans get a lot.

2648
02:17:33,680 --> 02:17:37,360
Speaker 2: I think he's a really good coach. Yep, yeah, I

2649
02:17:37,440 --> 02:17:38,000
Speaker 2: feel I feel.

2650
02:17:38,000 --> 02:17:39,039
Speaker 4: I love the rest of the roster.

2651
02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:43,160
Speaker 3: I know, I know it's a good roster, man, it

2652
02:17:43,320 --> 02:17:43,760
Speaker 3: really is.

2653
02:17:46,879 --> 02:17:49,560
Speaker 4: I'm also, by the way downgrading the Raiders, Like, even

2654
02:17:49,600 --> 02:17:53,119
Speaker 4: as a fan, I'm downgrading the Raiders. They are absolutely

2655
02:17:53,160 --> 02:17:54,959
Speaker 4: getting run all over, and I think teams are going

2656
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:56,920
Speaker 4: to figure that out quickly. I think their past rush

2657
02:17:57,200 --> 02:17:58,480
Speaker 4: has the chance to be one of the best in

2658
02:17:58,520 --> 02:18:01,160
Speaker 4: the NFL, but they got to shore up the run.

2659
02:18:01,520 --> 02:18:03,120
Speaker 4: I don't feel good about that. I don't feel good

2660
02:18:03,120 --> 02:18:06,360
Speaker 4: about their quarterback position, particularly so you know, I thought

2661
02:18:06,400 --> 02:18:08,560
Speaker 4: they were maybe an eight win team. Now it's it

2662
02:18:08,680 --> 02:18:11,080
Speaker 4: just feels like a seven win team is probably more likely.

2663
02:18:11,200 --> 02:18:13,400
Speaker 4: So downgrading my beloved Raiders.

2664
02:18:13,600 --> 02:18:17,600
Speaker 2: How do you go into a ceason and look, you

2665
02:18:17,680 --> 02:18:20,760
Speaker 2: know you've had practice of this where you know you

2666
02:18:20,840 --> 02:18:25,400
Speaker 2: got first year Antonio. Antonio appears fired up, right old thing.

2667
02:18:26,120 --> 02:18:29,640
Speaker 2: After you know the tag comes off, you have a

2668
02:18:29,800 --> 02:18:35,840
Speaker 2: team that you got some players to watch on defense. Max,

2669
02:18:36,320 --> 02:18:39,920
Speaker 2: you love Max, but you know you got no quarterback

2670
02:18:40,080 --> 02:18:44,800
Speaker 2: and you know your expectations are limited. So how do

2671
02:18:44,879 --> 02:18:49,280
Speaker 2: you gear up for a six, seven, eight win You

2672
02:18:49,360 --> 02:18:50,119
Speaker 2: know forecast.

2673
02:18:51,040 --> 02:18:53,520
Speaker 4: My goal is to see more Sundays that I'm happy

2674
02:18:53,600 --> 02:18:56,560
Speaker 4: than I'm sad. So nine and eight is like, I

2675
02:18:56,600 --> 02:18:59,000
Speaker 4: can get to nine and eight, might I might throw

2676
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:01,199
Speaker 4: a little like parade up and down my street in Connecticut,

2677
02:19:01,240 --> 02:19:03,520
Speaker 4: might get a little confetti out, just start chucking it

2678
02:19:03,600 --> 02:19:05,360
Speaker 4: in the air. If I can get to more more

2679
02:19:05,400 --> 02:19:07,400
Speaker 4: good Sundays than bad Sundays, that I have won the

2680
02:19:07,440 --> 02:19:09,400
Speaker 4: Life Lottery this year, That's the way it goes. And

2681
02:19:09,520 --> 02:19:12,240
Speaker 4: the difference like, because you're not wrong most of the time,

2682
02:19:12,280 --> 02:19:14,200
Speaker 4: you can turn around and say, hey, you know what,

2683
02:19:14,760 --> 02:19:17,000
Speaker 4: as long as our Like if you're a Bears fan

2684
02:19:17,240 --> 02:19:20,080
Speaker 4: and the whole season goes awry, but Caleb Williams is

2685
02:19:20,120 --> 02:19:23,760
Speaker 4: a superstar, you got something right. So the problem here

2686
02:19:23,840 --> 02:19:26,040
Speaker 4: is that I genuinely don't believe the Raiders will be

2687
02:19:26,120 --> 02:19:28,760
Speaker 4: bad enough to be picking at or near the top

2688
02:19:28,879 --> 02:19:30,400
Speaker 4: of a draft.

2689
02:19:31,600 --> 02:19:33,240
Speaker 3: When does draft come into.

2690
02:19:33,120 --> 02:19:36,640
Speaker 4: Play midway through the season. I think you want to

2691
02:19:36,680 --> 02:19:38,400
Speaker 4: hope that maybe there's a miracle and you can have

2692
02:19:38,520 --> 02:19:41,600
Speaker 4: one of those seasons nobody expected and by by you know,

2693
02:19:41,800 --> 02:19:44,800
Speaker 4: especially by Thanksgiving, then you're like, okay, but look, if

2694
02:19:44,800 --> 02:19:47,360
Speaker 4: you're a Patriots fan, it's probably a three or four

2695
02:19:47,400 --> 02:19:49,640
Speaker 4: win team this year, and that's okay because you're you're

2696
02:19:49,720 --> 02:19:51,520
Speaker 4: you're gonna find out that Drake May is great and

2697
02:19:51,600 --> 02:19:53,760
Speaker 4: everything's gonna beautiful. Like I love all of that. But

2698
02:19:54,280 --> 02:19:56,080
Speaker 4: you know, if you're a Raiders fan, you're just sitting

2699
02:19:56,120 --> 02:19:59,240
Speaker 4: there there, they're terrible. If you're a Raiders fan, you

2700
02:19:59,400 --> 02:20:01,160
Speaker 4: just I don't I don't know the easy solution because

2701
02:20:01,160 --> 02:20:03,600
Speaker 4: there's not going to be a quarterback available. So you know,

2702
02:20:03,720 --> 02:20:05,959
Speaker 4: you're just you survive the season and you hope by

2703
02:20:06,000 --> 02:20:08,160
Speaker 4: the end of the year that it's deck next year

2704
02:20:08,280 --> 02:20:08,960
Speaker 4: or something like that.

2705
02:20:09,959 --> 02:20:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting, All right, let's take a quick time out.

Speaker 2: good morning. All right, we're good. We're we're happy because

2726
02:21:26,160 --> 02:21:31,439
Speaker 2: Fitzy and I go, it's week zero. We have real football.

2727
02:21:32,240 --> 02:21:36,040
Speaker 2: It's our first taste. It's a uh you know what

2728
02:21:36,160 --> 02:21:40,560
Speaker 2: this this dere's the analogy, Fitzy, I finally got the analogy.

2729
02:21:41,879 --> 02:21:47,480
Speaker 2: When Sunday morning, my grandmother would be up early and

2730
02:21:47,640 --> 02:21:52,800
Speaker 2: she would make the traditional Italian gravy they called it

2731
02:21:53,160 --> 02:21:57,800
Speaker 2: like a red sauce, right, and she would be like

2732
02:21:58,000 --> 02:22:01,000
Speaker 2: frying the meatballs and the putting all the thing and

2733
02:22:01,080 --> 02:22:04,480
Speaker 2: making this big pot that we would devour later in

2734
02:22:04,560 --> 02:22:07,200
Speaker 2: the day. But she would get a little meatball that

2735
02:22:07,320 --> 02:22:10,560
Speaker 2: she fried, and and she would give it and give

2736
02:22:10,600 --> 02:22:12,680
Speaker 2: it to me is a treat in the morning.

2737
02:22:13,600 --> 02:22:17,720
Speaker 3: And it was that that little tiny bite is what

2738
02:22:18,040 --> 02:22:19,680
Speaker 3: today week zero is.

2739
02:22:21,600 --> 02:22:23,640
Speaker 5: He had something I think that it's a pretty good

2740
02:22:23,680 --> 02:22:26,880
Speaker 5: compy you I like it. Look, there is one decent game.

2741
02:22:27,160 --> 02:22:29,720
Speaker 5: I mean, the Georgia Tech Florida State game is certainly,

2742
02:22:30,400 --> 02:22:32,920
Speaker 5: you know, a game of Note, which I do think

2743
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:36,960
Speaker 5: you know, will be you know, a competitive, decent game.

2744
02:22:37,040 --> 02:22:41,560
Speaker 5: It's twenty line of that game. It's interesting, Anthony, I

2745
02:22:41,720 --> 02:22:44,640
Speaker 5: thought that line should have come in at like twelve.

2746
02:22:45,879 --> 02:22:47,800
Speaker 5: If you can get a ten out there, I lean

2747
02:22:50,040 --> 02:22:54,160
Speaker 5: Florida State. It's interesting. Djole guy somethings like he's been

2748
02:22:54,200 --> 02:22:55,600
Speaker 5: around thing for seventy five years.

2749
02:22:55,640 --> 02:22:58,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's what it is with this portal, right,

2750
02:22:59,360 --> 02:23:01,800
Speaker 2: fancy with the portal, Like do you see these guys

2751
02:23:01,840 --> 02:23:02,120
Speaker 2: are here?

2752
02:23:02,200 --> 02:23:04,760
Speaker 3: Were like five six years. It's unbelievable.

2753
02:23:05,680 --> 02:23:10,840
Speaker 5: I mean, the guy changes teams every single years. Unbelievable.

2754
02:23:10,920 --> 02:23:15,800
Speaker 5: He really he's been around forever. But it's interesting they

2755
02:23:16,200 --> 02:23:19,959
Speaker 5: talking about Georgia Tech. They got James king Beck, who

2756
02:23:20,920 --> 02:23:23,560
Speaker 5: you know, decent running quarterback. Didn't do as well for

2757
02:23:23,760 --> 02:23:25,400
Speaker 5: Tech s a m. But he did do decently for

2758
02:23:25,520 --> 02:23:28,800
Speaker 5: Georgia Tech last year. Tech has eight starters back on

2759
02:23:28,879 --> 02:23:33,800
Speaker 5: offense going into pretty good Florida State secondary. It's interesting

2760
02:23:34,240 --> 02:23:37,360
Speaker 5: Georgia Tech's weakness last year was they were stopping the run.

2761
02:23:37,440 --> 02:23:40,400
Speaker 5: They were almost dead last in college football, and Florida

2762
02:23:40,440 --> 02:23:44,520
Speaker 5: State does have a good offensive line. Look again, I

2763
02:23:44,720 --> 02:23:46,400
Speaker 5: thought the fly should come in at twelve. It's like

2764
02:23:46,680 --> 02:23:48,560
Speaker 5: ten and a half most places. But if you could

2765
02:23:48,560 --> 02:23:51,960
Speaker 5: find a ten, I do think that I you know,

2766
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:53,920
Speaker 5: don't think he could do worse than taking Floridastate. I

2767
02:23:53,920 --> 02:23:55,320
Speaker 5: do you think they one the game at double digits?

2768
02:23:55,760 --> 02:23:57,840
Speaker 3: But you do think this game is competitive though?

2769
02:23:59,240 --> 02:24:01,880
Speaker 5: Well yeah, certainly. Again I thought the line was again

2770
02:24:01,920 --> 02:24:03,960
Speaker 5: it was close to my numbers, So yeah, I mean,

2771
02:24:04,360 --> 02:24:07,879
Speaker 5: look Tech again, Tech did get eight starters back offensively,

2772
02:24:08,040 --> 02:24:10,879
Speaker 5: they it's interesting they did win. I think Tech lester

2773
02:24:11,560 --> 02:24:15,440
Speaker 5: was six and six. They you know, they hadn't for them,

2774
02:24:15,920 --> 02:24:18,199
Speaker 5: you know, a pretty a pretty solid year, and ains

2775
02:24:18,240 --> 02:24:20,840
Speaker 5: King played better for them in my opinion. It's a

2776
02:24:20,879 --> 02:24:24,360
Speaker 5: lot less pressure. So much pressure on him at tex Am,

2777
02:24:24,720 --> 02:24:26,560
Speaker 5: you know, and it just Dean never was able to

2778
02:24:26,920 --> 02:24:30,000
Speaker 5: do what they needed him to do there. But going

2779
02:24:30,040 --> 02:24:32,080
Speaker 5: at a little less of a you know, the spotlight,

2780
02:24:32,160 --> 02:24:34,240
Speaker 5: so to speak, at Georgia Tech, I thought he did

2781
02:24:34,280 --> 02:24:36,160
Speaker 5: a nice job for them. But I do think that

2782
02:24:38,080 --> 02:24:39,160
Speaker 5: I do think Sarta State.

2783
02:24:39,040 --> 02:24:41,200
Speaker 2: Which this one I want to one last thing I

2784
02:24:41,240 --> 02:24:44,400
Speaker 2: want to I want to give it to Fiti. Uh total,

2785
02:24:44,680 --> 02:24:47,160
Speaker 2: is it you already vibe on the total for this game?

2786
02:24:47,160 --> 02:24:51,000
Speaker 2: Because I'm curious. It feels like there should be some

2787
02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:53,000
Speaker 2: points now, yeah.

2788
02:24:52,920 --> 02:24:54,800
Speaker 5: But the total of things around fifty five and a

2789
02:24:54,840 --> 02:24:58,200
Speaker 5: half ish? Uh yeah, I mean, listen, there should be

2790
02:24:58,320 --> 02:25:01,920
Speaker 5: some points in the sense that again, I definitely think

2791
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:06,840
Speaker 5: that Georgia Tech is very susceptible to FOTA six running game.

2792
02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:11,720
Speaker 5: And but I'll say this, I'm just I'm not confident

2793
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:15,680
Speaker 5: enough for me personally taken over here, I'm not confident

2794
02:25:15,800 --> 02:25:19,200
Speaker 5: enough that Georgia Tech's will score enough points. I actually

2795
02:25:19,240 --> 02:25:23,039
Speaker 5: do respect Florida State Secondary, I'm not and they're gonna

2796
02:25:23,040 --> 02:25:25,840
Speaker 5: have to probably get, you know, certainly into the prior

2797
02:25:25,920 --> 02:25:27,960
Speaker 5: for this game to go over, you know, at least

2798
02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:31,280
Speaker 5: in the twenties. Not totally confident they're going to be

2799
02:25:31,320 --> 02:25:33,600
Speaker 5: able to do that. So for me, the totals of

2800
02:25:33,640 --> 02:25:34,920
Speaker 5: path I think it's the right number.

2801
02:25:36,240 --> 02:25:39,720
Speaker 4: Give me a philosophical answer here to a sport with

2802
02:25:39,840 --> 02:25:43,480
Speaker 4: no preseason, we come into week zero, week one for everybody,

2803
02:25:43,879 --> 02:25:45,560
Speaker 4: for everybody that is trying to figure out how to

2804
02:25:45,680 --> 02:25:47,640
Speaker 4: gamble and what to gamble over the course of the

2805
02:25:47,720 --> 02:25:51,200
Speaker 4: next ten days. Essentially, how do you factor in what

2806
02:25:51,320 --> 02:25:53,560
Speaker 4: you've seen in the past versus what you expect right

2807
02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:55,520
Speaker 4: now when there has been nothing for you to put

2808
02:25:55,560 --> 02:25:57,440
Speaker 4: your eyes on going into this weekend's games.

2809
02:25:57,800 --> 02:25:59,760
Speaker 5: Well, well, listen all. First of all, well, there are

2810
02:26:00,080 --> 02:26:02,600
Speaker 5: like and there's you know, there are string the practices

2811
02:26:02,800 --> 02:26:05,240
Speaker 5: and you can read about w or watch them. These

2812
02:26:05,280 --> 02:26:07,360
Speaker 5: games are not actually on, they tell these games are

2813
02:26:07,360 --> 02:26:11,280
Speaker 5: televised by the networks. They could watch us bring games three.

2814
02:26:11,360 --> 02:26:13,080
Speaker 5: What's going on? You have to be up on the

2815
02:26:13,160 --> 02:26:15,280
Speaker 5: transfer portal. Which team, like sort of State did well

2816
02:26:15,320 --> 02:26:18,680
Speaker 5: in the transfer portal this year? Norville always is you know,

2817
02:26:19,000 --> 02:26:21,720
Speaker 5: one of the better guys that's doing that. You have

2818
02:26:21,840 --> 02:26:26,119
Speaker 5: to look at that obviously, like returning starters, returning quarterback play. Listen,

2819
02:26:26,280 --> 02:26:30,920
Speaker 5: it is to a certain extent and educated guests right

2820
02:26:31,120 --> 02:26:33,119
Speaker 5: where you're giving you have all the data you need.

2821
02:26:33,240 --> 02:26:35,480
Speaker 5: But so you're right until the team actually plays and

2822
02:26:35,600 --> 02:26:39,040
Speaker 5: you see how they look in jail, you know. But

2823
02:26:39,120 --> 02:26:42,560
Speaker 5: then I again, some people are more leary of adjusting

2824
02:26:42,600 --> 02:26:45,520
Speaker 5: their power ratings early. But I can't play how many times,

2825
02:26:45,760 --> 02:26:48,800
Speaker 5: like remember there was a year I picked I bet

2826
02:26:48,840 --> 02:26:51,320
Speaker 5: Oklahoma to win the national title. And they played the

2827
02:26:51,360 --> 02:26:54,040
Speaker 5: opening game, this is like five years ago, against the

2828
02:26:54,120 --> 02:26:57,080
Speaker 5: team they really favorite, the Pummel, And I watched the

2829
02:26:57,160 --> 02:26:59,960
Speaker 5: game and they they struggled, and I'm like, all right,

2830
02:27:00,120 --> 02:27:04,520
Speaker 5: I severely lowered my power ratings in Oklahoma immediately. I

2831
02:27:04,720 --> 02:27:07,160
Speaker 5: wasn't in and it turned out to be correct. Like

2832
02:27:07,400 --> 02:27:10,160
Speaker 5: I'm more apt to see how things are going in

2833
02:27:10,200 --> 02:27:13,320
Speaker 5: the beginning and if the team is like established, like

2834
02:27:13,320 --> 02:27:15,520
Speaker 5: in the NFL, I'm more patient with my power ratings.

2835
02:27:15,959 --> 02:27:18,960
Speaker 5: But in college I will adjust quickly if I see

2836
02:27:19,000 --> 02:27:22,040
Speaker 5: a team is overrated or underrated, because I think the

2837
02:27:22,120 --> 02:27:24,200
Speaker 5: college is much more volatile because of what you said.

2838
02:27:24,280 --> 02:27:26,760
Speaker 5: It's the terms of understanding who's good, new isn't.

2839
02:27:28,160 --> 02:27:31,440
Speaker 4: Is there any level does the does the college football playoff?

2840
02:27:31,680 --> 02:27:34,240
Speaker 4: Like like for everybody right now that's jumping in and

2841
02:27:34,280 --> 02:27:37,200
Speaker 4: trying to figure out when totals like futures bets, does

2842
02:27:37,240 --> 02:27:39,160
Speaker 4: the college football playoff impact any of the way that

2843
02:27:39,200 --> 02:27:40,119
Speaker 4: you're betting that stuff.

2844
02:27:40,959 --> 02:27:43,480
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, not at all now. But

2845
02:27:43,800 --> 02:27:46,160
Speaker 5: it's injured the college old payoffs. So and listen, it's

2846
02:27:46,320 --> 02:27:49,400
Speaker 5: a great comp great comp is you know, like in

2847
02:27:49,480 --> 02:27:51,320
Speaker 5: my air, like when I was growing up, you know,

2848
02:27:51,520 --> 02:27:53,400
Speaker 5: I think that's this like it used to be, you

2849
02:27:53,480 --> 02:27:56,000
Speaker 5: know before teams that makes the playoffs. In baseball you

2850
02:27:56,080 --> 02:27:58,680
Speaker 5: have the you know before it was four divisions and

2851
02:27:58,800 --> 02:28:01,120
Speaker 5: each team made it and and that was that, you know,

2852
02:28:01,240 --> 02:28:04,520
Speaker 5: that was that was four teams the playoffs. Think about that,

2853
02:28:04,879 --> 02:28:06,920
Speaker 5: the four the wind provision wonners. That's what the college

2854
02:28:06,920 --> 02:28:09,080
Speaker 5: football playoff was like, right, there's only four teams that

2855
02:28:09,160 --> 02:28:11,480
Speaker 5: made it. And now you have the baseball playoffshere twelve

2856
02:28:11,480 --> 02:28:13,240
Speaker 5: teams may get the same thing with the college football

2857
02:28:13,240 --> 02:28:15,880
Speaker 5: playoffs year where it's going to open it up like crazy,

2858
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:19,400
Speaker 5: and it's like again, what it does is, in my opinion,

2859
02:28:19,440 --> 02:28:21,560
Speaker 5: it makes it, yeah, well more teams get in. I

2860
02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:25,920
Speaker 5: think it makes it extremely harder in my opinion, maybe

2861
02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:28,400
Speaker 5: not so much in football as baseball, but certainly in

2862
02:28:28,440 --> 02:28:31,960
Speaker 5: baseball for the best teams to get through. And that's

2863
02:28:32,080 --> 02:28:33,959
Speaker 5: that's my opinion, because you have to win more games

2864
02:28:34,480 --> 02:28:37,720
Speaker 5: and it just becomes you know, more, more things get involved.

2865
02:28:37,879 --> 02:28:40,320
Speaker 5: But I think for the sport itself, guys, having the

2866
02:28:40,440 --> 02:28:44,000
Speaker 5: twelve team playoffs is going to be amazing for the sport. Absolutely.

2867
02:28:44,080 --> 02:28:45,840
Speaker 5: I think the interest is going to be through the roof.

2868
02:28:46,400 --> 02:28:48,920
Speaker 5: I mean absolutely through the roof. And I think it's

2869
02:28:48,959 --> 02:28:51,640
Speaker 5: going to be like a you know, a great an

2870
02:28:51,760 --> 02:28:55,000
Speaker 5: incredible thing for the sport. Like I think it's I've

2871
02:28:55,040 --> 02:28:57,320
Speaker 5: been wanting this forever and I think it's going to

2872
02:28:57,360 --> 02:28:58,520
Speaker 5: be absolutely incredible.

2873
02:28:59,360 --> 02:29:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you. It's funny. It's always great.

2874
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:03,640
Speaker 3: Where I got.

2875
02:29:03,720 --> 02:29:06,920
Speaker 2: One of our listeners, Eddie Webster says, I can't wait

2876
02:29:06,959 --> 02:29:09,600
Speaker 2: for the brains Florida State pick today.

2877
02:29:09,879 --> 02:29:19,199
Speaker 3: So you are they know you anything? What's that, buddy?

2878
02:29:20,400 --> 02:29:22,520
Speaker 5: I do lean Florida State. Yeah, you know from the

2879
02:29:22,600 --> 02:29:25,080
Speaker 5: part what he just said. I do. I do lean

2880
02:29:25,160 --> 02:29:25,760
Speaker 5: the Florida State.

2881
02:29:25,840 --> 02:29:31,840
Speaker 2: First, let me ask you this, anything this week got

2882
02:29:31,879 --> 02:29:35,640
Speaker 2: your either, I mean, I mean the other couple of games,

2883
02:29:35,720 --> 02:29:37,600
Speaker 2: they aren't really attractive.

2884
02:29:37,640 --> 02:29:39,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've got an advantage.

2885
02:29:39,560 --> 02:29:41,960
Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't. I look, I'll be honest, I

2886
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:44,200
Speaker 5: didn't get any of these weeks zero games. But I

2887
02:29:44,400 --> 02:29:47,840
Speaker 5: wanted to discuss the Florida State games. So that was

2888
02:29:48,240 --> 02:29:51,680
Speaker 5: to me the most you know, the biggest game of

2889
02:29:51,760 --> 02:29:53,680
Speaker 5: the card. And again, if it was a padlock again

2890
02:29:53,760 --> 02:29:56,720
Speaker 5: it was a tad lower, you know, especially an hundred ten,

2891
02:29:56,760 --> 02:30:00,320
Speaker 5: I would have I would have taken uh, cause it's

2892
02:30:00,560 --> 02:30:02,720
Speaker 5: ten and a half. It's closed, because even you know

2893
02:30:02,840 --> 02:30:04,840
Speaker 5: half point point lower. I may have played a bet

2894
02:30:04,879 --> 02:30:07,560
Speaker 5: on philosophy, but I personally did not been anything for

2895
02:30:07,600 --> 02:30:09,840
Speaker 5: every listening, I personally did not be anything myself in

2896
02:30:09,920 --> 02:30:10,760
Speaker 5: these week zero games.

2897
02:30:12,320 --> 02:30:15,360
Speaker 2: How about uh later in the week, anything stand out

2898
02:30:15,520 --> 02:30:16,600
Speaker 2: Thursday or Saturday?

2899
02:30:17,080 --> 02:30:18,199
Speaker 3: Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

2900
02:30:19,320 --> 02:30:22,160
Speaker 5: No again, not here. Listen, I'll tell you this what

2901
02:30:22,280 --> 02:30:28,360
Speaker 5: I what I did do. I did that in UH

2902
02:30:28,959 --> 02:30:31,760
Speaker 5: in the NFL, I did bet the Unders the Cardinals

2903
02:30:31,840 --> 02:30:34,800
Speaker 5: Broncos game. But I don't think that number is still there.

2904
02:30:34,920 --> 02:30:37,879
Speaker 5: Let me check real quick. I did that under thirty

2905
02:30:37,959 --> 02:30:41,200
Speaker 5: five in that game. You're gonna get absolutely no one

2906
02:30:41,840 --> 02:30:43,600
Speaker 5: playing in that game. Let me just see what it

2907
02:30:43,840 --> 02:30:45,120
Speaker 5: is now it is?

2908
02:30:46,720 --> 02:30:46,840
Speaker 4: Uh?

2909
02:30:47,760 --> 02:30:49,640
Speaker 5: Why am I not saying it? I'm not getting up

2910
02:30:49,680 --> 02:30:51,560
Speaker 5: on my screen right now. I'll give me one second.

2911
02:30:52,320 --> 02:30:56,880
Speaker 5: Uh Cardinals, Uh, okay, it's down to thirty two. I

2912
02:30:57,040 --> 02:31:00,560
Speaker 5: love so much for that. Okay, but you're gonna absolutely

2913
02:31:00,680 --> 02:31:03,520
Speaker 5: no one uh in that game. In terms of you know,

2914
02:31:03,640 --> 02:31:06,360
Speaker 5: it's interesting I lost the bet Anthony left night. Listen

2915
02:31:06,440 --> 02:31:09,400
Speaker 5: this in the history of this happening, A history of

2916
02:31:09,680 --> 02:31:12,800
Speaker 5: UH these spreads. There was the biggest line move of

2917
02:31:12,840 --> 02:31:15,800
Speaker 5: any game ever, and I lost the game. I had

2918
02:31:16,760 --> 02:31:20,959
Speaker 5: a bet on San Francisco yesterday. I think they opened

2919
02:31:21,320 --> 02:31:24,280
Speaker 5: as like a they closed as like a ten point

2920
02:31:26,080 --> 02:31:28,960
Speaker 5: It's like a ten point favorite or something like that,

2921
02:31:29,200 --> 02:31:32,800
Speaker 5: and I I was laying like two and a half.

2922
02:31:32,959 --> 02:31:34,680
Speaker 5: That made a pied against the Raiders.

2923
02:31:35,080 --> 02:31:38,880
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Yeah, that's what he gets, buddy.

2924
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:42,120
Speaker 4: They tied against the Raiders. And there's a freaky ending

2925
02:31:42,200 --> 02:31:44,720
Speaker 4: on that too, like it almost a bunch of laterals

2926
02:31:44,760 --> 02:31:47,520
Speaker 4: almost scored. You know, you almost you almost got there,

2927
02:31:47,640 --> 02:31:50,640
Speaker 4: almost got there. That's the story of everybody almost.

2928
02:31:50,360 --> 02:31:53,080
Speaker 5: Got I was so disgusted. I got to think that.

2929
02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:55,360
Speaker 5: I was so disgusted when it when they kicked the

2930
02:31:55,400 --> 02:31:57,640
Speaker 5: forty three year fulgal, I just turned it off. What

2931
02:31:57,800 --> 02:31:59,640
Speaker 5: what I did then't look look at the play by

2932
02:31:59,720 --> 02:32:02,360
Speaker 5: play with how close was it? What was like what

2933
02:32:02,680 --> 02:32:05,199
Speaker 5: before forty five year pass or something.

2934
02:32:05,120 --> 02:32:07,200
Speaker 4: Like he threw sort of a hail mary that was

2935
02:32:07,320 --> 02:32:10,000
Speaker 4: underthrown and then but it was caught by the forty

2936
02:32:10,080 --> 02:32:12,800
Speaker 4: nine ers close to the goal line. And then they

2937
02:32:12,879 --> 02:32:15,560
Speaker 4: started this lateral game and an offensive lineman was tackled it.

2938
02:32:15,680 --> 02:32:17,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, inside the five yard line, but they

2939
02:32:17,920 --> 02:32:20,119
Speaker 4: kept fumbling and lan laterling. It was one of those

2940
02:32:20,200 --> 02:32:24,320
Speaker 4: like only in preseason football plays that that happened. Let

2941
02:32:24,320 --> 02:32:26,400
Speaker 4: me ask you this about preseason. Have you seen anything

2942
02:32:26,440 --> 02:32:28,760
Speaker 4: in preseason football that's changed the way that you view

2943
02:32:28,760 --> 02:32:30,840
Speaker 4: any of these teams going into this year as far

2944
02:32:30,879 --> 02:32:32,360
Speaker 4: as the winter have that's yeah.

2945
02:32:32,360 --> 02:32:33,800
Speaker 5: I got to tell you something. That's a great question,

2946
02:32:34,160 --> 02:32:37,560
Speaker 5: and there's really there's one team to me that really has.

2947
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:41,120
Speaker 5: And I'm you know, I was against this team to

2948
02:32:41,240 --> 02:32:45,560
Speaker 5: begin with, but I am telling everyone listening to the show. Look,

2949
02:32:45,680 --> 02:32:48,800
Speaker 5: I think Pittsburgh is a team that they're going to

2950
02:32:48,800 --> 02:32:52,200
Speaker 5: be stout defensively, you know, but I think offensively this

2951
02:32:52,360 --> 02:32:55,000
Speaker 5: team is I love all their unders. I've been under

2952
02:32:55,040 --> 02:32:57,760
Speaker 5: forty three in the Atlanta game and now I think

2953
02:32:57,760 --> 02:33:00,879
Speaker 5: it's down the forty two already. But I I love

2954
02:33:01,280 --> 02:33:03,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna and I did Atlanta in a week one

2955
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:06,040
Speaker 5: laying less than a field one. That line did move

2956
02:33:06,080 --> 02:33:07,920
Speaker 5: to three, but I still like Atlanta even laying three.

2957
02:33:08,520 --> 02:33:12,120
Speaker 5: I think Pittsburgh is a team especially it's just going

2958
02:33:12,200 --> 02:33:15,240
Speaker 5: to be so in ft offensively. I think the quarterback

2959
02:33:15,280 --> 02:33:18,800
Speaker 5: play they have is going to be like going to

2960
02:33:18,879 --> 02:33:21,520
Speaker 5: the dentist. From their point of view, Tomlin's not one

2961
02:33:21,560 --> 02:33:24,400
Speaker 5: of his nine games this year. I know, death taxes

2962
02:33:24,440 --> 02:33:27,039
Speaker 5: and Mike Tomlin winning all going over five hundred. It's

2963
02:33:27,080 --> 02:33:28,680
Speaker 5: been the three things in life that we could say

2964
02:33:28,760 --> 02:33:31,960
Speaker 5: for sure happens not gonna happen this year in my opinion. Uh,

2965
02:33:32,600 --> 02:33:35,160
Speaker 5: that's the team. They played two straight games, but their

2966
02:33:36,120 --> 02:33:38,360
Speaker 5: their offense and they can't They can't score a point

2967
02:33:38,400 --> 02:33:42,440
Speaker 5: against all backups. Think about that. I mean to me,

2968
02:33:42,560 --> 02:33:44,920
Speaker 5: that's that even the thing when there's smoke, there's fire,

2969
02:33:45,560 --> 02:33:47,920
Speaker 5: I mean to me, that's the definition. Tickns is a

2970
02:33:47,959 --> 02:33:51,560
Speaker 5: good receiver. They have some good running backs, but you listen,

2971
02:33:51,800 --> 02:33:53,960
Speaker 5: when you don't have a quarterback play, I just think

2972
02:33:54,000 --> 02:33:58,600
Speaker 5: it absolutely ruins you. And that's the team that again,

2973
02:33:58,640 --> 02:34:00,920
Speaker 5: and I was optimistic the beginning with guys, but that's

2974
02:34:00,959 --> 02:34:04,320
Speaker 5: the team. I'm really really downgraded and knowing we're near

2975
02:34:05,400 --> 02:34:07,280
Speaker 5: as bad as I thought they were, I think it

2976
02:34:07,360 --> 02:34:09,440
Speaker 5: may be worse for them. I think they're going to

2977
02:34:09,440 --> 02:34:09,800
Speaker 5: be the worst.

2978
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:14,080
Speaker 3: They're going to be awful. Yeah, they're gonna be dreadful. Hey,

2979
02:34:14,480 --> 02:34:18,200
Speaker 3: anything y'all's for us before you roll?

2980
02:34:18,640 --> 02:34:22,040
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, I got the basebook plubling, real quick frame, Ervald,

2981
02:34:22,120 --> 02:34:25,280
Speaker 5: this has been absolutely on fired the guys. His last

2982
02:34:25,320 --> 02:34:27,920
Speaker 5: seven starts everything about nine strike ups. The game they

2983
02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:29,680
Speaker 5: made a total five and he's gone over six or

2984
02:34:29,760 --> 02:34:31,000
Speaker 5: last seven they made a total five and a half

2985
02:34:31,000 --> 02:34:33,600
Speaker 5: against the Baltimore team that has been striking out recently,

2986
02:34:33,600 --> 02:34:36,720
Speaker 5: and it just hasn't been nearly as productive as they

2987
02:34:36,800 --> 02:34:39,120
Speaker 5: have all year in terms of not striking out and

2988
02:34:39,240 --> 02:34:41,680
Speaker 5: scoring runs both. I like battles or five and a

2989
02:34:41,720 --> 02:34:43,240
Speaker 5: half strike ups. I thought that should have been six

2990
02:34:43,240 --> 02:34:46,480
Speaker 5: and a half that Gallon Arizona. And this is more

2991
02:34:46,480 --> 02:34:49,040
Speaker 5: of a legacy that than anything, I'll be honest. And

2992
02:34:49,120 --> 02:34:52,360
Speaker 5: the matchup that Anthony, you respect matchups. Gallen's only five

2993
02:34:52,440 --> 02:34:53,840
Speaker 5: hundred of that bet this year over four and a

2994
02:34:53,840 --> 02:34:55,959
Speaker 5: half strike ups, but if the last three years he's

2995
02:34:56,000 --> 02:34:59,000
Speaker 5: fifty nine and thirty two. Okay, And here's the reason

2996
02:34:59,040 --> 02:35:00,920
Speaker 5: I really like the bet now, Chef Sampony, you talk

2997
02:35:00,959 --> 02:35:03,920
Speaker 5: about it all the time. Red Sox third Major League

2998
02:35:03,920 --> 02:35:06,200
Speaker 5: Baseball and strikeouts this year at last fifteen games get

2999
02:35:06,240 --> 02:35:09,240
Speaker 5: struck out the most times buy a wide margin. Because

3000
02:35:09,280 --> 02:35:11,120
Speaker 5: of the matchup gowns only at half the time this

3001
02:35:11,240 --> 02:35:13,039
Speaker 5: year two out and three of the last three years.

3002
02:35:13,320 --> 02:35:15,320
Speaker 5: I'll take my chance. This is one of the times

3003
02:35:15,360 --> 02:35:17,680
Speaker 5: he gets there against the bed sucks, Red sucks in

3004
02:35:17,800 --> 02:35:20,520
Speaker 5: the strikes. Not a lot. George Kirby under two and

3005
02:35:20,560 --> 02:35:23,920
Speaker 5: alf fronts. It's pricey La Dollar picks the area. But

3006
02:35:24,040 --> 02:35:26,720
Speaker 5: this guy at home allows eleven two runs a game.

3007
02:35:27,920 --> 02:35:30,000
Speaker 5: He's eight and three this year to the under twenty

3008
02:35:30,080 --> 02:35:32,320
Speaker 5: nine and eleven at home in the last three years

3009
02:35:32,680 --> 02:35:36,600
Speaker 5: against the very suspect Giants team. I say he goes

3010
02:35:36,840 --> 02:35:39,960
Speaker 5: under two and a half runs, and I like under

3011
02:35:40,040 --> 02:35:41,440
Speaker 5: three and a half runs in the five inning line

3012
02:35:41,440 --> 02:35:44,240
Speaker 5: of that game. Everyone like you have Blake Snell, who's

3013
02:35:44,280 --> 02:35:48,120
Speaker 5: pitching historically blate in the seven starts against Kirby, I

3014
02:35:48,200 --> 02:35:51,760
Speaker 5: will dare four runs between those two offenses to be scored.

3015
02:35:51,920 --> 02:35:54,000
Speaker 5: I just don't say it, and I double dip. I

3016
02:35:54,040 --> 02:35:57,360
Speaker 5: took Kirby underruns two. I really like the under of

3017
02:35:57,400 --> 02:35:57,720
Speaker 5: that game.

3018
02:35:58,959 --> 02:36:04,160

Speaker 4: you have to do a lot of prep? But it's

3041
02:37:12,560 --> 02:37:14,360
Speaker 4: like no, I would sit down and watch all of

3042
02:37:14,440 --> 02:37:15,880
Speaker 4: these games anyway. I just have to do it with

3043
02:37:15,959 --> 02:37:17,760
Speaker 4: the notepad out. That's the only difference, so I don't

3044
02:37:17,760 --> 02:37:21,720
Speaker 4: think out what I'm thinking life ever, Yeah, I could

3045
02:37:21,800 --> 02:37:22,039
Speaker 4: never have.

3046
02:37:22,160 --> 02:37:27,320
Speaker 2: Any any tips for the people fantasy wise know how

3047
02:37:27,360 --> 02:37:29,440
Speaker 2: to attack their draft. A lot of people's drafts are

3048
02:37:29,440 --> 02:37:30,240
Speaker 2: coming up this week.

3049
02:37:31,120 --> 02:37:34,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say this. People are kind of obsessed

3050
02:37:34,840 --> 02:37:37,000
Speaker 4: with tight ends right now unless you're getting one of

3051
02:37:37,040 --> 02:37:39,840
Speaker 4: the absolute top tight ends. Wait, patience is a virtue,

3052
02:37:40,280 --> 02:37:43,680
Speaker 4: and then be really diligent about where you think the

3053
02:37:43,840 --> 02:37:47,080
Speaker 4: line in the sand is for the running back position.

3054
02:37:47,280 --> 02:37:49,840
Speaker 4: Like if what happens so often in these snake drafts

3055
02:37:49,920 --> 02:37:51,400
Speaker 4: is you sit there and say, well, it's a little

3056
02:37:51,440 --> 02:37:53,119
Speaker 4: too high to take this guy. Okay, Well you really

3057
02:37:53,160 --> 02:37:55,640
Speaker 4: got to ask yourself is he still going to be

3058
02:37:55,680 --> 02:37:57,360
Speaker 4: there when it comes back around to me? And if

3059
02:37:57,400 --> 02:37:59,080
Speaker 4: he isn't, how big is the drop off? Because I

3060
02:37:59,080 --> 02:38:01,920
Speaker 4: would argue you can find a ton of wide receivers,

3061
02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:03,960
Speaker 4: not maybe a ton of the great ones, but you

3062
02:38:04,040 --> 02:38:06,040
Speaker 4: can find a ton of wide receivers. It's the running

3063
02:38:06,080 --> 02:38:08,280
Speaker 4: back you gotta be a little careful. Like so you

3064
02:38:08,360 --> 02:38:10,800
Speaker 4: know right now there's a stigma about drafting running backs

3065
02:38:10,840 --> 02:38:13,320
Speaker 4: too high. I would I would not share that Stigma'd say,

3066
02:38:13,360 --> 02:38:15,640
Speaker 4: go get your guy, like, make sure you got somebody

3067
02:38:15,680 --> 02:38:17,440
Speaker 4: that you love at that position. After you get your

3068
02:38:17,480 --> 02:38:18,320
Speaker 4: superstar wide.

3069
02:38:18,200 --> 02:38:21,320
Speaker 3: Receiver, any anybody stand out to you you like.

3070
02:38:22,200 --> 02:38:24,480
Speaker 4: Not that's not that's different than the rest of the world.

3071
02:38:24,520 --> 02:38:26,720
Speaker 4: But I will say in the rookie class, you know,

3072
02:38:27,040 --> 02:38:29,440
Speaker 4: I think one thing that's interesting is look for guys

3073
02:38:29,480 --> 02:38:31,320
Speaker 4: that are going to have a median impact. So that's

3074
02:38:31,360 --> 02:38:33,680
Speaker 4: why when you're looking in the rookie class, like I

3075
02:38:33,840 --> 02:38:35,320
Speaker 4: like eighty Mitchell a lot. I think he's going to

3076
02:38:35,400 --> 02:38:37,920
Speaker 4: have a shot to have a lot of reps. But

3077
02:38:38,360 --> 02:38:41,720
Speaker 4: in general, one interesting stat I learned from Yahoo eighty

3078
02:38:41,920 --> 02:38:45,720
Speaker 4: five percent of the teams in Yahoo League history that

3079
02:38:45,840 --> 02:38:48,920
Speaker 4: have started three and oh have made the playoffs. So

3080
02:38:49,040 --> 02:38:50,920
Speaker 4: we sit here and worry all the time about what's

3081
02:38:50,959 --> 02:38:52,560
Speaker 4: going to happen late in the season, and we worry

3082
02:38:52,560 --> 02:38:54,080
Speaker 4: about five weeks and we worry about all that. Now,

3083
02:38:54,360 --> 02:38:56,920
Speaker 4: right start three and a. Yeah, if you start three

3084
02:38:56,959 --> 02:38:59,000
Speaker 4: and oh, you've got a really good shot. Eighty five

3085
02:38:59,040 --> 02:39:01,160
Speaker 4: percent of the teams that make the playoffs or that

3086
02:39:01,280 --> 02:39:03,720
Speaker 4: start three to zero make the playoffs. And that number

3087
02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:06,360
Speaker 4: if you start one and two. So with the losing record,

3088
02:39:06,400 --> 02:39:08,480
Speaker 4: I think it drops down to like twenty something percent.

3089
02:39:08,800 --> 02:39:11,720
Speaker 4: So you talk about the drop off of percentages, go

3090
02:39:11,840 --> 02:39:13,480
Speaker 4: get somebody that's going to help you right now. So

3091
02:39:13,600 --> 02:39:15,879
Speaker 4: that also means, by the way, not for nothing. If

3092
02:39:15,920 --> 02:39:18,720
Speaker 4: you love Hollywood Brown, the numbers say you don't take

3093
02:39:18,800 --> 02:39:20,440
Speaker 4: him because he's not going to be playing for you.

3094
02:39:20,480 --> 02:39:22,920
Speaker 4: The first couple of weeks of the season, so you know,

3095
02:39:23,400 --> 02:39:25,160
Speaker 4: just to stick with guys that can help you right now.

3096
02:39:26,200 --> 02:39:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. How about the quarterbacks? You know, with

3097
02:39:29,680 --> 02:39:32,440
Speaker 2: the PPR league, you know, the quarterbacks are so devalued.

3098
02:39:33,240 --> 02:39:35,640
Speaker 2: It's the only thing that I look at and I go,

3099
02:39:35,920 --> 02:39:39,160
Speaker 2: you know, when it comes to the skill and the

3100
02:39:39,240 --> 02:39:42,680
Speaker 2: stats of the league that doesn't mimic it, which is

3101
02:39:42,720 --> 02:39:47,400
Speaker 2: the importance of the quarterback. But are you of you

3102
02:39:47,600 --> 02:39:49,000
Speaker 2: just got to take a duel forreck guy?

3103
02:39:49,959 --> 02:39:52,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's why Frankly, I love Josh Allen

3104
02:39:52,440 --> 02:39:55,200
Speaker 4: so much because working with Damien Harrison the draft, he

3105
02:39:55,280 --> 02:39:57,240
Speaker 4: made it clear that the Bills believe that Josh Allen

3106
02:39:57,320 --> 02:39:59,800
Speaker 4: accounts for forty touchdowns a year and they don't care

3107
02:39:59,840 --> 02:40:01,800
Speaker 4: how that comes, whether it's on the root, on the air,

3108
02:40:02,280 --> 02:40:04,000
Speaker 4: in the air, on the ground. I think a guy

3109
02:40:04,080 --> 02:40:06,160
Speaker 4: like Josh Allen, a guy like Jalen Hurts is gonna

3110
02:40:06,440 --> 02:40:09,240
Speaker 4: have opportunities to score some touchdowns on the ground. That

3111
02:40:09,320 --> 02:40:11,920
Speaker 4: really helps you. Lamar helps you, you know. So Anthony Richardson,

3112
02:40:12,520 --> 02:40:16,080
Speaker 4: the only thing with Anthony is everybody's absolutely falling in

3113
02:40:16,280 --> 02:40:19,560
Speaker 4: love with Anthony Richardson. And I would say I just

3114
02:40:19,640 --> 02:40:21,280
Speaker 4: want to see a little bit more proof of concept,

3115
02:40:21,400 --> 02:40:22,280
Speaker 4: that's all. That's all.

3116
02:40:23,520 --> 02:40:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that, I get that.

3117
02:40:25,560 --> 02:40:30,080
Speaker 2: I think he could be, you know, a very explosive

3118
02:40:30,480 --> 02:40:34,720
Speaker 2: and dynamic but yeah, I mean he scares me in

3119
02:40:34,800 --> 02:40:37,360
Speaker 2: the sense that we overrake it. Like guys like here

3120
02:40:37,400 --> 02:40:39,720
Speaker 2: we go overboard and we overdraft you.

3121
02:40:39,760 --> 02:40:44,560
Speaker 4: Know, yep, yeah, now that's the we. We also we

3122
02:40:44,680 --> 02:40:47,600
Speaker 4: overdraft because we fall in love with potential. And again,

3123
02:40:47,640 --> 02:40:50,000
Speaker 4: I just I like proven entities, I like proving concept.

3124
02:40:50,320 --> 02:40:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Barkley's gonna be interesting guy this year because

3125
02:40:54,400 --> 02:40:55,039
Speaker 2: he's gonna be good.

3126
02:40:55,080 --> 02:40:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. And the kid McCaffrey. Can he replicate

3127
02:40:59,200 --> 02:41:00,440
Speaker 3: when he's been when he's been.

3128
02:41:00,400 --> 02:41:03,120
Speaker 4: Doing until he doesn't, you know what I mean, Like

3129
02:41:03,160 --> 02:41:05,920
Speaker 4: I believe in it. I cannot. There's no way I'm

3130
02:41:05,959 --> 02:41:06,640
Speaker 4: not believing in that.

3131
02:41:07,080 --> 02:41:09,400
Speaker 3: No way, No, I know, I know. I just you know,

3132
02:41:09,440 --> 02:41:11,200
Speaker 3: you always worry about the injuries and stuff like that.

3133
02:41:11,280 --> 02:41:14,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right on. Hey, listen, this will do

3134
02:41:14,400 --> 02:41:14,920
Speaker 3: for us. Man.

3135
02:41:14,959 --> 02:41:17,959
Speaker 2: I have a great week, brother, h fellows, love you guys,

3136
02:41:18,120 --> 02:41:19,600
Speaker 2: Thanks for hagging. We'll see you next week.
