1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. Is that time

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: of week. My name is Bernie Friday. We are coming

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: toy line from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Will take up to three am Pacific, six

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: am Eastern. This is our annual five hour extravaganza daylight

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: saving show in our Eastern time zone. The clocks just

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: flipped the two, which means they were turned back to one,

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: and in three hours here in the Pacific time zone

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: where I'm at, the clocks will magically turn from two

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: back to one and you'll get the extra hour. This

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: is the fourth year, I think at a row I

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: have done this and I am here for it. And

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: what a segue into tonight's show, you know. Perhaps former

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball Commissioner A. Bart Giamatti said it best,

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: said quote, the game is designed to break your heart.

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: Somebody went home and their heart broken Saturday night, Sunday morning,

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: depending on where you live. And as you've heard me

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: say a thousand times, Sports, well they're the greatest reality

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: show and you can script everything but the ending.

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: You know.

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: I was fully prepared to begin tonight's monologue by talking

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: about why it's so hard to win back to back series.

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays came home up three games to do,

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: but that's all water under the bridge. We are still

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: going to get to that. Because of all the major

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: American sports leagues, Major League Baseball represents the toughest league

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: to repeat his champion. And I'll explain why later. But

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: for the first time in twenty five years. By the way,

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: I bet you didn't know this. They call it the

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Commissioner's Trophy. It's not going anywhere. It will stay in

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: Los Angeles at least one more year. As the Dodgers

33
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: came back to beat the Blue Jays in Game seven

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: at the Rogers Center Friday night, five to four and

35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: eleven innings, they clinched the World Series Championship. It's their

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: second straight title, third in the last six years, baseball's

37
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: first repeat champions since the two thousand New York Yankees,

38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 2: who actually won three in a row. Dodgers, who have

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: been in five to the last nine World Series, three

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: of the last six playoffs, nine years in a row,

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: and yes, the first team in back to back twenty

42
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: five years, and maybe they have not won but two Unicorns.

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Because there are things I will remember about Game seven

44
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: that I'll never forget, much like the seventy five series

45
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: when Carlton Fisk hit that home run. Yes you remember that.

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: Maybe that was the greatest World Series. I don't know.

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: We might get into this in the midnight hour. You

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: could make a case this might have been the greatest

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: World series when McGill rohas Remember Dave Roberts made the

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: snap decision heading into Toronto just to switch things up,

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: decided to start mcgil rojas in the at second base

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: in Game six, hits a ninth inning solo home run

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: to tie the game. The Blue Jays were two outs

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: away from breaking Champagne his solo homer tied the game.

55
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: Then Will Smith's solo homer and the eleven dining gave

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: the Dodgers their first lead of the game. But what

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: will I remember most about the series and certainly Game seven?

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Yoshinobi Yoshinobu Yamamoto became a legend at postseason legend forget it.

59
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: He comes out of the bullpen the day after starting

60
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: Game six, records the final eight outs to earn the win.

61
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: This is an incredibly legendary performance for any era won

62
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: for the Ages and oh by the way. The Blue

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Jays failed in their quest to win their third World Series,

64
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: and they went back to back World Series in ninety

65
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: two to ninety three, so this was not an easy

66
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: thing to do. But what Yamamoto did in this World

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Series is nothing short of remarkable. He threw a one

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: run complete game in Game two on the road, and

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: in Game three, Yamamoto warmed up in the eighteenth inning.

70
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: It was going to pitch the nineteenth had the game continued.

71
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Yamamoto then threw six innings of a one run game

72
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: with the season on the line Friday night in the

73
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: Game six win. That right there put him on the

74
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: short list of World Series MVPs. But perhaps could it

75
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: be that Yamamoto saved his best for even when it

76
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: mattered even more? That's terrible, English saved his best for last.

77
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: Let's just say that one day. I've never seen this

78
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: one day. After throwing ninety five pitches in Game six,

79
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Yamamoto comes out of the bullpen in Game seven, records

80
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: the final eight outs. He enters with runners on first

81
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: and second and one out in the ninth. He gets

82
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: out of that jam. Then he throws the scoreless tenth inning,

83
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: then throws the scoreless eleventh inning, thirty four pitches on

84
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: zero day's rest. Just incredible. Add it all up, what

85
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: a nine days it's been for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. His eira

86
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: accumulatively one point zero two. That's just two earned runs

87
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: and seventeen and two thirds innings across two starts and

88
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: one massive relief appearance. His seventeen and two thirds are

89
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: the most by any pitcher in any postseason round since

90
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: Madison Bumgar Garner through twenty one innings in the twenty

91
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: fourteen World Series. And yes, very deserving Yamamoto was named

92
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: the World Series MVP. But there are other things that

93
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: will also remember Dante Bishett, whose knee was so bad

94
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: he probably shouldn't have played. There's a chance that Game seven,

95
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: did I see Dante Bichet? That was his dad? Oh

96
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: my god, I haven't been drinking. I promise there's a chance,

97
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: though Bolbashett has played his final game as a Blue Jay.

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: I'm just saying there's a chance he's going to be

99
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: a free agent. But if, if, if he has played

100
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: his last game, he went out with a bang. He

101
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: went out with a very memorable swing, even if it

102
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: came in a loss. He opened up the scoring in

103
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: Game seven with a bomb, a three run bomb in

104
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: the third inning, and that gave Toronto a three to

105
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: zero league shohey Otani, Yes he actually is human, well

106
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: not every day, but some days. Actually hung a breaking

107
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: ball and Bolbashek, you know, deposited in the second deck.

108
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: That rally started with George Springer leadoff single, who also

109
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: came back from an injury. When he had that oblique

110
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: situation in Game five or checked that Game three, didn't

111
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: play in four or five, I thought he was done

112
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: for the series. These oblique things can last weeks. So

113
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: the Blue Jay has put the leadoff man on base

114
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: in each of the first three innings, and that continued

115
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: because Vladimir Gerril Junior had an intentional walk as part

116
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: of that. But sandwiched in between that, Nathan Lucas had

117
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: a sack button a wild pitch that moves spring of

118
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: the third and that's what happens. You walk a guy

119
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: to get to Bashett and he made them pay three

120
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: run Dinger. Give it up to Bolbaschett. He played through

121
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: a fairly serious knee injury, had to play at a position.

122
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: He suffered it in a collision at home plate about

123
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: a month and a half ago, and it was easy

124
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: to tell by the way he was running. There were

125
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: times Saturday night he couldn't score from second on a single,

126
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: He couldn't advance from second to third on a single.

127
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: It was it was rough to watch, but he swung

128
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: the bat six to nineteen, hit three sixteen, three walks,

129
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: then hits the three run dinger in Game seven. So

130
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: whatever happens to the rest of his career, he's etched

131
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: in you know, Blue Jays fandom for eternity. Now, this

132
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: is what I'm always also going to remember. Is it

133
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: possible the Dodgers went maybe to the well one too

134
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: many times with shoey Otani. He was pitching on two

135
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: days rest, and yes, he was touching ninety nine hundred,

136
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and one. It was pretty evident right away

137
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: he didn't have the command he normally has. He was

138
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: not himself on the mound. He was all over the

139
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: place in the first and second innings, and he escaped

140
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: the second innings scoreless only because Bashett couldn't run with

141
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: his knee. Bashett couldn't score from second on Ernie Clement's

142
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: to watch single. Otani escaped the jam. No far be

143
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: it for me to bag on Otani any of these decisions.

144
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: These are just things I'll remember. So Otani took the

145
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: ball to start the game after two days rest, through

146
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: forty three pitches in the first two innings, wild took

147
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 2: a ton of time between innings, which I think the

148
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Blue Jays objected to. But the rules allow the umpire

149
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: to give a pitcher extra warm up time if he

150
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 2: ends the previous inning on base or at the plate

151
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: or on deck, which actually Otani did in the first

152
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: and third innings. But Otani, if I'm being honest, looked

153
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: to take a little bit of advantage of the rule.

154
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: He spent a long, long time in the dugout between ings.

155
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: Do you blame the guy? I mean, my god. But

156
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: despite all these situations and roadblocks and red flags, Dave

157
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Roberts sent Otani back out to the moth for the

158
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: third inning, and frankly, it backfired. He retired only one

159
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: of four batters he faced, and that one was on

160
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: a sacrifice bun. So, rather than take the two scoreless

161
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: innings and take it home and be happy to be

162
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 2: happy you got it, is it possible the Dodgers got

163
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: a little greedy went to the well one too many times,

164
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: tried to squeeze a third inning out of Otani. It

165
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: could have, it didn't. Fifths and butts were candy and nuts.

166
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: We're not going to go down there, but it could

167
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: have cost in the World Series. For the record, Otani

168
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: was charged with three runs on five minutes and two

169
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: walks and two and the third innings in Game seven,

170
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: and the Blue Jays tagged him for seven runs and

171
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: eight and the third innings in his two World Series starts.

172
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: But he showed a Otani and that Game three was

173
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: one for the ages. My god, the home runs, the

174
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: four for four, you get it, okay, and for you

175
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: trivia buffs and gave it up to Will Smith. The

176
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: Dodgers knew what they were doing last year. They they

177
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: locked him up to a ten year contract, one hundred

178
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: and one hundred and forty million, fourteen million year. It

179
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: seems like a tremendous bargain. Will Smith, such a clutch player,

180
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: such a selfless guy, caught all eighteen innings the other night.

181
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: He he had a huge part in the Dodgers winning

182
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: this World Series. And the funny line I was going

183
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: to get to it's not really funny, believe it or not.

184
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: This is the sixth straight World Series championship for someone

185
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: named will Smith. Will Smith, the catcher for the Dodgers

186
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: won the twenty twenty World Series. Then there's a lefty

187
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: reliever named Will Smith who won the twenty one, twenty two,

188
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: and twenty three World Series, and Will Smith the catcher

189
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: won twenty four and twenty five. But Will Smith the

190
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: catcher provided the game winning run with an eleventh inning

191
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: solo home were in Game seven on Friday. Look, the

192
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: bottom line is all I can say is this. I

193
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: will remember Yamamoto, I will remember Bashett, I will remember

194
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: Otani and everything he did, and of course I will

195
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: remember Will Smith. He caught every single inning of the

196
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: World Series, or were a total of seventy three, like

197
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: everybody else in the Dodgers. There were times he struggled

198
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: at the plate, but what it mattered most and they

199
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: needed a clutch hit or they needed contact. He rallied

200
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: late to make the impact and he'll forever go down.

201
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: You know, as part of this Dodger legend, he never

202
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: took an inning off behind the plate. In one Game

203
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: seven with an eleventh inning homer. You know what pitchers

204
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: and catchers don't report till February twenty fifth. I will

205
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: tell you get some rest, Will Smith. They're going to

206
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: need you and they're gonna be talking three pete And

207
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: why shouldn't they. This team checks every box, whether you're

208
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: a fan or not. Give them their due. Finally, you

209
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: don't see this often. I'll also remember this about the

210
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: World Series. In Game seven, just to add to all

211
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: the excitement and craziness, the bench is actually cleared during

212
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: Game seven. Specifically, Andre's hymnist. The shortstop for the Blue

213
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: Jays was jaw jacking it Justin Robleski, the lefty Dodger reliever,

214
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: after taking a fastball to the hand. And you know,

215
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: cooler heads prevailed. There's not going to be punches or

216
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: anything like that in the World Series. But again, these

217
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: are things you don't see. So up next the Dodgers

218
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: will have a parade and everybody else in the off

219
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: season will be scratching their heads and saying, all right,

220
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: what do we do to catch these guys. It's not

221
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: going to be easy. And by the way, just so

222
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: you know, Yamamoto took less money. Other organizations offered him

223
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: the same or more, but he wanted to be a

224
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: Dodger for those who complained that the Dodgers bought this

225
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: World Series. By the way, be sure to you subscribe

Speaker 2: and nationally, highly respected handicapper and all around great guy.

263
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: Bill crack Man Crackenberg Bill, how are you, buddy?

264
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 6: Hey, Bernie, thanks for having me on.

265
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: Everydy is cool always and follow him by the way

266
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: at crack Wins. I have to start with the World Series.

267
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm imagining the handle was pretty decent size. Do you

268
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: have any inkling and how the books did during the

269
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: World Series in total.

270
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 6: H fine. You asked that because I actually was talking

271
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 6: to one of the bookmakers tonight in town, and I

272
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 6: was surprised at their results. I don't know. I just

273
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,479
Speaker 6: guess say, you know, the margins have become so wide, Bernie.

274
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 6: In other words, I first started betting professionally thirty years ago.

275
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 6: Even when when I was a kid growing up back

276
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 6: in back East, you know you had ten ten baseball

277
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 6: lines minus one forty come back dollar thirty. That is

278
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 6: extinct here in Nevada. It's extinct in America in legalized

279
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 6: sports wagering. Actually the more norm now a dollar forty

280
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 6: come back a dollar twenty. They've widened the juice, taken

281
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 6: double out. So it's harder and harder to win, especially

282
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 6: an efficient sport, an efficient line like the World Series,

283
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 6: with so many eyeballs on it. So to hear that

284
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 6: a sports book that I know of that actually lost

285
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 6: money tonight pretty much surprised me. They lost money on

286
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 6: the futures book of the Dodge, couldn't get Toronto money

287
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 6: and actually lost to the game tonight, even which actually

288
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 6: surprised me. I was surprised to hear that a corporation

289
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 6: could lose to When you have a future's book that

290
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 6: is so geared towards a favorite like the Dodgers, you

291
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 6: would think you'd make it appetizing for the other side

292
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 6: unless you want to take a big side or a big,

293
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 6: a big risk, you know. So I was actually surprised

294
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 6: to hear that they that they lost to the game.

295
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 6: And I wouldn't be surprised if that is the same

296
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 6: feeling and not only feeling the same real numbers across

297
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 6: the board sports books across America. I'm thinking there's so

298
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 6: much volume by let's call it the square public that

299
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 6: vet's a team like the Dodgers, big favorite coming out

300
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 6: of winning last year's World Series. So I'm thinking the

301
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 6: books maybe, you know, I got a little bit other

302
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 6: head handed to them, a little bit just hearing that

303
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 6: this one company, like I said, lost to the game.

304
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 6: I'm thinking to myself, well, you know what, I bet

305
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 6: you A lot of people have bet the Dodgers, you know,

306
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 6: in volume I'm talking about you know, guys that are

307
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 6: betting one hundred and two hundred, three hundred and five

308
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 6: hundred dollars in the future. But there's so many people

309
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 6: that have bet that because they're the favorite, even though

310
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 6: they're not even in what they should be. In other words,

311
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 6: that they were, you know, plus four to one, there

312
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 6: were only plus three to one. And you know, the

313
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 6: Dodgers season wins were one hundred and four and a

314
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 6: half this year. Unbelievable a team ever like that. They

315
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 6: were about one oh two when I originally started seeing

316
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 6: one up to one hundred and four and a half wins,

317
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 6: an easy winner for the sports books that people that

318
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 6: bet the over of course lost on that, but the

319
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 6: people like betting the futures more than they like betting

320
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 6: regular season wins over under, So hearing the books got

321
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 6: hurt on the favorite of the Dodgers, you.

322
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: Know, I'm wondering. I'm wondering if part of this was

323
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: in game because at one point, I know they have

324
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: these win percentage predictors that drive me nuts, But at

325
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: one point during the game, the Dodgers had just an

326
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: eight and a half percent chance of winning, and I

327
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: wonder if somebody jumped on that and got a nice

328
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: plus price. I didn't follow it that closed. I don't

329
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: do any in game betting. Could that have been possibly

330
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: part of the mix?

331
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 6: It wasn't part of the mix yere because I actually

332
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 6: found out about this during the door in the game,

333
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 6: and that was like maybe the fifth or sixth inning.

334
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 6: But it's funny to say that because I was with

335
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: I was with John Orlando. I went and watched the

336
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 6: game with him tonight, and I was with him and

337
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 6: he kept on asking me every few minutes, not something

338
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 6: I normally would watch, but every few minutes, like when

339
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 6: the Dodgers were down with the line, with the line,

340
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 6: with the line, and I was constantly hell, no, no,

341
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 6: plus two and a half, the one, plus three and

342
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 6: a half, the one. And finally as they got late there,

343
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 6: when it was four to two, they were plus six

344
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 6: and a half, even six ninety. Let's it's called seven

345
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 6: to one. You could have took back on the dot.

346
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 6: And I'm sure that's only one way betting going on there.

347
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 6: The public's not laying, you know, eight, seven, eight, nine,

348
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 6: ten to one. They're only betting the Dodgers in that situation.

349
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 6: So I'm sure the live wagering, some of the Joe

350
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 6: public's got a hold of the Dodgers there, But there's

351
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 6: no one, you know, holding a collection bucket off of

352
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 6: the sports books when it comes to live wagering, the

353
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 6: live wagering platform is absolutely I don't want to say

354
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 6: unbeatable because that's that's not right, but it's it's double

355
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 6: hard to beat than it is the pre flop number

356
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 6: of minus one to ten both ways. When you're charging

357
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 6: double the juice on on live wagering, it's very hard

358
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 6: to beat. And most of the public is pretty fickle.

359
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 7: You know.

360
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 6: They see a touchdown by a team like Kansas City

361
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 6: at Buffalo or you know, one of the main team,

362
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 6: mainstream teams, and what didn't they say? And I knew

363
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 6: they were going to blow them away? I knew it.

364
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 6: Let me bet it live now, so you know now

365
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 6: of course they're they're going to pay a tax, and

366
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 6: not only in the way of double the juice, but

367
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 6: they're going to pay a tax in the way of

368
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 6: the book makers know which way the public's the public's betting.

369
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's it's live wagering is a really, really

370
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 6: hard to beat, you know. Myself, I focus more on

371
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: proposition bets and team totals, maybe some totals and player props.

372
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 6: I stay away from a lot of NFL sides and

373
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 6: especially the NBA sides when you have so many different

374
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 6: factors involved and injuries and lineups and who's playing, and

375
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 6: it's just it's a very hard sport to beat. This

376
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 6: This sports betting is pretty hard to beat. And if

377
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: you could beat it, well, they're going to slow you

378
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 6: down and stop you. I've been thrown out of many

379
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 6: sports books. I'm not allowed to play many sports books

380
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 6: right here in Vegas just for doing one thing using

381
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 6: my brain. So I'm going to bet on smaller market

382
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 6: things like you know, w n B A and like

383
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 6: I said, player props and things that I can read,

384
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 6: the Beat Report and things that I can follow my

385
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 6: social social media and me and my team, that's what

386
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 6: we concentrate on. We there's so much information out there,

387
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: but it requires work. It requires doing the you know

388
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 6: your due dilligence checking, checking the you know the old

389
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 6: days to be checking the newspapers, but checking the sites

390
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 6: and now the local newspapers online, where the Beat reporters

391
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 6: are and what they're putting down, and make sure you

392
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 6: know which ones to follow and which ones not to

393
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 6: because some of them are bs too. So that takes

394
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 6: the years of doing it and working out the kinks.

395
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 2: Of course. John Orlando our good buddy John Alndo, the

396
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: son of music legend Tony Orlando.

397
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 8: Uh.

398
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: You mentioned favorites now last week in the NFL correct

399
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: ten favorites covered already Thursday night and eleventh favorite is covered.

400
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: Baltimore beat Miami on the road. There are eight roads

401
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: favorites this week. I want to go over a handful

402
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: of these NFL games with you to get your take. Okay,

403
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 2: I want to start out with a short road favorite.

404
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: The Colts lay in three and a half at Pittsburgh. Look, Indiana,

405
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: I believe is for real or in Indianapolis. They lead

406
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: the NFL in scrimmage yards, rush yards, touchdowns points. Five

407
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: of their wins will have come against losing teams. Meanwhile,

408
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: the Steelers have allowed the most passing yards in Pittsburgh's

409
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: thirtieth in the league in total defense, lasting past defense.

410
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Indianapolis? Do they keep it going at

411
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Sunday?

412
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 6: Yeah? And you know what you said that about the

413
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 6: favorites winning. I didn't check this. I did in fact

414
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 6: check this. It's fairly easy to do, but I didn't.

415
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 6: I was told they went my if you bet favorite

416
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 6: and over last week you went twenty wins and two losses. Wow,

417
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 6: I mean the books had to get you literally, maybe

418
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 6: get their head handed to him for their first time.

419
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 6: But I didn't hear really nobody crying them. Maybe that

420
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 6: Cincinnati game, maybe some of the teasers didn't get there.

421
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 6: I don't know, just I didn't hear no one crying

422
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 6: around town. Usually the books will will cry a little

423
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 6: bit when that happens. But then again, they've been making

424
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: so much money throughout this year. But let's look at

425
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 6: this week. Indianapolis Pittsburgh opened up two, two and a

426
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 6: half and up to three and a half, which of

427
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 6: course crosses the key number of three. You said something

428
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 6: good there, Indianapolis. Boy. Every week I want to say,

429
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: are they for real? As I google, I'm pretty sure

430
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 6: there's seven and one, But yes, so there's seven. Not

431
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 6: only they seven and one, they lead to South the

432
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 6: jack Warser second place four and three, followed by the

433
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 6: Texans three and four, Titans one and seven. I mean,

434
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 6: are the Colts for real? They just maybe for real?

435
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 6: You know, it's just every week the public doubts them.

436
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 6: Finally they're they're a little bit now, they're they're favoring

437
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 6: on the road here and then they got some some

438
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 6: backing them up to minus three and a half. But

439
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 6: I can't lay down on the road. I'm not that

440
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 6: much of a Pittsburgh fan, and I actually had Pittsburgh

441
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 6: one of the rare sides I had last week. I

442
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 6: had a great line at a plus with three and

443
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 6: a half when the market was like two and a

444
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 6: half or three the most. I had three and a

445
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 6: half on Pittsburgh and they played a good first hast

446
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 6: let me down on the second half. First Green Bay.

447
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 6: I'm just never sold by this team. But you know,

448
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 6: with a three and a half points at home, probably

449
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 6: a good spot to look at Pittsburgh. But then again,

450
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 6: even though I say that, this Indianapolis team never ceases

451
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 6: to amaze me, amaze me. So I won't have a

452
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 6: play on this game, but if anything I forced to,

453
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 6: I would have a I would take the points.

454
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not involved in the game. Pittsburgh scares me though,

455
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 2: losing two in a row and their lasted total defense.

456
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: Talk about a line green Bay land thirteen and a half,

457
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: But this is a weird year Carolina. Bryce Young returns

458
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: Green Bay three and zero at Lambell Fielder averaging twenty

459
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: seven points a game, but Carolina is looking for their

460
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: best start since twenty nine, since twenty nineteen. When they

461
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 2: start five and four, how the hell do you lay

462
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: thirteen and a half there? But at the same time,

463
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 2: you know, you may look up and the damn game,

464
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: you know, maybe thirty to seven in the fourth quarter.

465
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that game.

466
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, don't.

467
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 6: I don't get this Carolina team. I really don't even know.

468
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 6: They're four and four and having the best year that

469
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 6: I remember in a long time. They beat the Dolphins,

470
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 6: then they go and they beat the Cowboys next week,

471
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 6: to come out and beat the Jets and then get

472
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 6: destroyed by the Bills, which I guess they're supposed to

473
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 6: get destroyed by the Bills, but I mean, they really

474
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 6: got destroyed forty to nine. And you know, you look

475
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 6: at them this week and again you say, wow, it

476
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 6: just seems like a ton of points versus Green Bay,

477
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 6: who's probably in a position to maybe even overlook a

478
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 6: game like this when they're that big of a favorite.

479
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 6: This game opened up ten and a half, quickly went

480
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 6: up to twelve and a half, thirteen. There's even some

481
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 6: thirteen and a half on my screen here in front

482
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 6: of me. I can never lay double digits in the NFL.

483
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 6: I have never in my life ever ever laid double

484
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 6: digits in the NFL on a favorite, whether it's home, away,

485
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 6: anything like that. At all. Years ago, you would be

486
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 6: able to take a thirteen well excuse me, a twelve

487
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 6: and a half point favorite and have a ten point teaser,

488
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 6: which was decent odds and it was a big, big

489
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 6: money maker for the public. And they've since, of course,

490
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 6: jacked up the juice on these teasers. There's not a

491
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 6: place in this town that teasers are beatable now. As

492
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 6: a matter of fact, I'll even say the nation. There's

493
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 6: not a place in the nation or with the legal

494
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 6: sports book that teasers are beatable because the juice went

495
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 6: up so much on these three point seven and ten

496
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 6: point teasers, six point teasers. So I don't even look

497
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 6: at that in this game. I can't lay the points.

498
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 6: If anything, again, I would take the points there at Carolina,

499
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 6: but it just matters what team shows up, matters what

500
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 6: Carolina team is going to show up, and it matters

501
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 6: if Green Bay is going to overlook this game as

502
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 6: a simple w Again, never ever in my life, and

503
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 6: what I ever lay double digits with any NFL team.

504
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. All right, we're talking with Bill

505
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: Crackman and Krackenberger. Let's jump to a game that will

506
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: probably end up being the game of the day, at

507
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: least as being build as at the Chiefs are at

508
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: Buffalo lay in a short number. Since twenty twenty, the

509
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: Bills are four and one versus the Chiefs in the

510
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: regular season, but they struggle against him in the postseason.

511
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, these they are both perennial division champions, but

512
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: they enter Sunday's game with neither one in first place.

513
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: It looks like the Chiefs offense is rolling right now

514
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 2: because they got Recidi Rice sixteen receptions in the last

515
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: couple of games, three touchdowns, but Buffalo's tough at home.

516
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Buffalo Kansas City crack Well, now.

517
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 6: Now you're in my wheelhouse. The only NFL game that

518
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 6: I bet a side on this week is the Kansas

519
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 6: City Chiefs. So I have bet the Chiefs. Look at

520
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 6: the money line here in town minus one twenty five

521
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 6: minus one thirty. It is the money line here in town.

522
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 6: And listen, Chiefs are five and three, but yet they're

523
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 6: they're you know, they have the charge They're in a

524
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 6: tough AFC West. The Chargers are five and three, the

525
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 6: Broncos are six and two. So that the Chiefs really,

526
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 6: even though they are rolling along now as we can see,

527
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 6: they handle handle the Commander is really good and shut

528
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 6: out the Raiders. I mean, the Lions victory was a

529
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 6: big one a couple of weeks back when they beat

530
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 6: the Lions pretty handily, because you know, for the previous

531
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 6: couple of weeks it's kind of a little bit scary

532
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 6: for them. Well, they only lost the one game to

533
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 6: the Jaguars, but they lost to Jacksonville. They lost the

534
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 6: Eagles early in the season. Chargers they opened up, they

535
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 6: losing their Chargers opening day, so they had a couple

536
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 6: of losses there. They had a rebound from they have.

537
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 6: They're really the probably the hottest team in the NFL

538
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 6: right now. Well i mean, of course maybe the Cults

539
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 6: are hotter, but I'm just saying the Chiefs really are

540
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 6: rolling along like we expected send them two all year.

541
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 6: And then you look on the other side of the

542
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 6: ball there you look at Buffalo, and of course Buffalo

543
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 6: is also you know, they're the teams that listen. There

544
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 6: was two teams this year the wise guys picked to

545
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 6: win the Super Bowl. Buffalo Bills was one of the

546
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 6: highest bets, one of the one of the bigger bets

547
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 6: in town. I know, if one of the syndicate groups

548
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 6: butt Buffalo, that group also bet the Ravens, which they're

549
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 6: kind of going to be out of that though. So

550
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 6: you know, this is another one of those games. Now.

551
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 6: You look, Buffalo just came off a big victory on

552
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 6: the road. I almost don't want to count that Carolina game.

553
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 6: But the week before that, I watched that game prime time.

554
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 6: The Soutains beat them by by by you know, ten points.

555
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 6: You know. The week before that, again, Buffalo lost that

556
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 6: home to the Patriots. So you don't know what team

557
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 6: is going to show up here. And it's just it's

558
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 6: you know, you see that big victory last week by

559
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 6: thirty one points, and you say, oh my god, Buffalo, Yeah,

560
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 6: we knew that. They're great. They're great. Well, I want

561
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 6: to tell you something, I don't think they're that super

562
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 6: Bowl team. Yes, they are very I love the quarterback,

563
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 6: love the team, but I just don't think they're going

564
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 6: to be that team that gets to the super Bowl

565
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 6: this year again. And I think Mahomes was rolling along here.

566
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 6: I bet them on the money line. It seems like

567
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 6: that kid is just he's a superstar man. He always

568
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 6: even though last year he did not look good in

569
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 6: the super Bowl versus Eagles, I think he has the experience.

570
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 6: And even though they are on the road here, I

571
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 6: just think that I think Kansas City gets the job

572
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 6: done and instead of laying the points, very rare that

573
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 6: I'll go to lay double the juice or triple the

574
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 6: juice on the money line, but I did lay the

575
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 6: dollar on a quarter on the money line. I just

576
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 6: think even though it's one or two, is not valuable

577
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 6: those points with analytics that come into the game and

578
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 6: teams that are going for two, and also teams that,

579
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 6: let's face it, a lot of times you're on the road,

580
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 6: you just want to get out with a victory. Sometimes

581
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 6: you'll actually kick, you know, instead of kicking the extra

582
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 6: point to tie the game once a while, you vote

583
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 6: for the victory and just take the victory. And if

584
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 6: they went by one, I don't want to be laying

585
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 6: too when I could have had the money line. So

586
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 6: I want to say Kansas City in this matchup. But

587
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 6: then again, Bernie, make sure that people know out there listening.

588
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 6: I'll have five times more money on it NFL player

589
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 6: proposition bet than I will even this Kansas City Chiefs, and.

Speaker 2: I surely know that. Crack. I appreciate you coming on.

Speaker 2: As always, it's the callers that make the segment, and

Speaker 2: it starts in about nineteen minutes the midnight hour. I'll

Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the Bernie

631
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, thirteen minutes away from the

632
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: midnight hour eight seven seven nine ninety six six three

633
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: six nine eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I

634
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: want to hear from you three topics tonight. The World

635
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: Series just wrapped up a couple of hours ago, went

636
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: seven games. All right, hear me out. Could you make

637
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: a case this was the greatest World Series of all time?

638
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: And when you consider whether or not it's the greatest

639
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: World series, and of course it's subjective, but there has

640
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: to be overall serious competitiveness, which there was that in

641
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: my Dosa's year. Historical significance, this is the first time

642
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: the Dodgers a team is repeated in twenty five years.

643
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: Dodgers did it. And oh, by the way, there was

644
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: a lot of drama, a lot of drama. I know

645
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: that people might say the Cardinals Rangers, Rangers are one

646
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: strike away in twenty eleven. I believe that was the

647
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: greatest World Series. I don't know. You're always gonna hear

648
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy five World Series between the Big Red

649
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: Machine Reds and the Boston Red Sox, especially because of

650
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: Carlton Fisks legendary home runs in the movie Goodwill Hunting.

651
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 6: It was.

652
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: You know, we just had the fifty year anniversary of

653
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: that and the Reds came back in won Game seven,

654
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: that forced the game seven. So the seventy five series,

655
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: how about the eighty six series? The ball goes through

656
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: Buckner's legs. It looked like the Red Sox had its set.

657
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: By the way. The Dodgers seventy eight series with the

658
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: Yancas was also extremely memorable. And let's not forget the

659
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: legendary nineteen ninety one World Series between Minnesota and Atlanta.

660
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 2: It went seven games as well, high drama baseball. It's

661
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: frequently mentioned and listed because every game was closely contested

662
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: and you know, lots of high drama baseball. So could

663
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: you make a case that this was the greatest World Series? Yes?

664
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: Or no? But here's the other thing I want to add.

665
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 2: This is part B. You will not hear me say this,

666
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 2: but some people might say the Dodgers didn't win. By

667
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: the way, get the Dodgers' top credit. So for those

668
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: who listened selectively or faded it out. I'm giving the

669
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: Dodgers top credit for what they did, but there are

670
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 2: going to be those who believe maybe the Blue Jays

671
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 2: lost the series more than the Dodgers won the series.

672
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 2: Consider this, After winning Game one at home, they didn't

673
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 2: win a game at home the rest of the series.

674
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: They lost three of the four home games. Now, Game

675
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: three was epic, six hours and thirty nine minutes worth.

676
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: Game three, you had a situation where the Blue Jays

677
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: had five chances to win it, and oh, by the way,

678
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: including when Nathan Lukes, who's a terrific player, clearly swung

679
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: in ball four and Clayton Kershew came in through a

680
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: curveball that got away. It was very low and a

681
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: wait he grounded out. I know he didn't want to

682
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 2: get caught with a bat on his shoulders, but that

683
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: would have walked the time run in. It's likely the

684
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: blue Jays might have prevailed. They came back at one

685
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 2: the next two. By the way, the blue Jays left

686
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: forty one men on base Between the three losses Game three,

687
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: the eighteen inning game, and then Game six and seven.

688
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: The blue Jays left a total of twenty two men

689
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 2: on base, constantly getting the bases loaded. Situations you get

690
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 2: a man to third with nobody out, there's eleven ways

691
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: of scoring without getting hit. Blue Jays couldn't get it done.

692
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: Could you make a case that the Blue Jays lost

693
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: this series more than the Dodgers won it? Again, that's

694
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 2: not the case I make. But you might have noticed

695
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 2: on Twitter, our good buddy Rob Parker said the Dodgers

696
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: should be in the North Pool, not Downtown LA, since

697
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays gave them an early Christmas present gift trap.

698
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 2: If you will, I'm not gonna be dismissive of that.

699
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: There's merit to what he's saying. Now the Dodgers, listen,

700
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 2: there's an old saying in life, be there at the

701
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: right place, at the right time. But I had a

702
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: comment of that, and do something about it. So you

703
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: have to get the Dodgers credit for do something about

704
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: doing something about it, which they repeatedly did in Games three, six,

705
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: and seven when they were a bit up against it.

706
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 2: But be that as they may. You can't tell the

707
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: whole story if we're gonna be honest without acknowledging that

708
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays there were some contributory negligence on their part.

709
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long winner for them. When you're

710
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 2: two hours away at home and you've led the game

711
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 2: for basically most of the game, boy, you know it's

712
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: gonna be a long winner. So question one is this

713
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: possibly the greatest World Series of all time? And again,

714
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 2: I get it, it's subjective, all right, based on your thoughts,

715
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: and I've listened to some others A seventy five, the

716
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: eighty six series, the seventy eight series, ninety one Minnesota

717
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: Atlanta Course twenty eleven you had the Cardinals and the

718
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 2: Rangers as well. Part B, is it possible the Blue

719
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: Jays lost it more than the Dodgers winning it? Question

720
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: three is abute. I expect to hear some real comments

721
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: on this one. The NBA season is well underway, and

722
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: we'll be talking about this with Mark Medina at one

723
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 2: am Pacific time. You've got a situation where lebron seems

724
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: very conspicuously absent, very conspicuously absent, worzy. He got ripped

725
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: by Craig Carton, national radio host. Here's what he said.

726
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 2: Quote Lebron as allows the teammate he did not travel

727
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: to Minnesota to watch the Lakers without him and Luca Well,

728
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 2: he had no problem going to the Dodger game, and

729
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: that before because Big Show Bob. The reason Lebron is

730
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: not playing is because his feelings are hurt. Lebron does

731
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: not have siatica whoa. You will never hear me, nor

732
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 2: have I ever in my ears twenty what thirty years

733
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: in radio question an injury because I don't know, I

734
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: don't know paying thresholds and I don't know. You know,

735
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: you will never question that Satika is serious. So I'm

736
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 2: not gonna question that. This is what Krek Carton said.

737
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 2: But he went to the Dodger game, didn't look like

738
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: he had. Satika called him allows the teammate. Other very

739
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: reputable reporters have indicated that Lebron's situation with the Lakers

740
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 2: is uncertain and that it's been intimated that maybe he'll

741
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 2: look for the door as the season goes on if

742
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like the Lakers are gonna contend. I

743
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 2: don't know what they're gonna do. I told Mark Ndie,

744
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be forty two and forty this year.

745
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: That's the way. That's just the way I see it.

746
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: They're competing, they play hard, but it just it doesn't

747
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 2: look like it's gonna It doesn't look good to me.

748
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 2: So I want to hear your thoughts on Lebron. Did

749
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: Craig Carton's comments have merritt? How do you feel about

750
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 2: what's going on with Lebron?

751
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 9: So?

752
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: Question one? Can you make a case this is the

753
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: greatest World Series of all time? Question two? Did the

754
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: Blue Jays blow to the Dodgers win it? Question three?

755
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 2: What's going on with Lebron? Is his situation with the

756
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: Lakers and future with the Lakers uncertain? Or do you

757
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: think he's running some kind of game? Why has he

758
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 2: been absent? If the feelings hurt? And Craig Carton said,

759
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: he's allows your teammate eight seven seven nine nine six

760
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 2: sixty three, sixth nine, it's the bed night hour, dial

00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: you in about two seconds. Again, Topic one, could you

771
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 2: make a case this is the greatest World Series ever? Yes,

772
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 2: it's subjective, but based on the competitiveness, the high drama,

773
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: the historical significance, he had all those things. I mean,

774
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: you had a game seven, just go extra innings, Okay,

775
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: you saw everything to happen? Yes or no? Could you

776
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: make that case? Part B? Did the Blue Jays based

777
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: on all the reasons I gave you leaving forty one

778
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: men on base in the last three losses? You had

779
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: the situation with Addison Barker, you had the situation with

780
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: Nathan Luke swinging at Kershaw's ball.

781
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 6: Four?

782
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: Did they perhaps perhaps lose this series more than the

783
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 2: Dodgers won? And then finally, Lebron is he allows even

784
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: teammate like Kreik Carton says, and what's going on? He

785
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: seems very absent and according to reputable reporters, his future

786
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: with the Lakers is uncertain. Whatever that means. What's going

787
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: on with Lebron? It's time for the Minute Hour and

788
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: Carlin Vegas leads us off today welcome in, Kyle. What

789
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: do you got, buddy?

790
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 10: Oh, I wasn't going on already, tired of seeing this

791
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 10: blue and white flags all flying around with these Dodgers

792
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 10: on it. I'm sorry. We live in Las Vegas, California.

793
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 10: Now all of a sudden, No to me, honestly, no,

794
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 10: I don't think that this is the most historical. They

795
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 10: do something that hasn't been done quite some time. Yes, repeating,

796
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 10: give them all the kudos in the world. The second

797
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 10: part of that question that you had is a little

798
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 10: kind of twenty fourteen Russell westbrookish, where did you guys

799
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 10: lose this series? Or did they win this? And it's like, what,

800
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 10: come on, man? They go out there and try to

801
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 10: play the game as far as they can at all,

802
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 10: at all levels.

803
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 9: Of the sport.

804
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: So well, you know the hold that thought, Kyle, because

805
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: it's not my position. I get the Dodgers credit top credit. Yeah,

806
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: then what you needed to do. But you know, there

807
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: are those folks out there, and I read one tweet

808
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 2: from a prominent guy who believes just the opposite. That's

809
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 2: why I think it's a conversation.

810
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, obviously, so you know, and it's a good question.

811
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 10: But the thing about it is the.

812
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 3: Dodgers just had they just had that night.

813
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 10: You know, the baseball gods they looked out for them.

814
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 10: They came through with a win. The most historical World Series,

815
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 10: in my personal opinion, which I'm biased, is the Chicago

816
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 10: Cubs twenty sixteen winning the World Series for one hundred years.

817
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 2: Fair, you know, because it's significant. But I don't know

818
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 2: if it was the greatest World Series. I'm talking about

819
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: the greatest based on drama and all the things that

820
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: go along with it.

821
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 10: You know, that's true. That is very true. And to

822
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 10: answer part two to your other question, same I heard

823
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 10: the same similar things, but it was when Lebron comes back,

824
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 10: how does the flow of the offense turn out. We

825
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 10: have Austin Reeves who's having a coming out party. Hey,

826
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 10: I want to show you guys that I can be

827
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 10: a dominant two, maybe even that better first option. Let

828
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 10: Luca come off the ball. When Lebron gets in the

829
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 10: game or gets back from whatever illness, injury cycle drama

830
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 10: that he likes to pull. Every year, it's something new,

831
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 10: whether it's during the beginning of the season, right around Christmas,

832
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 10: right around the trade deadline. He always has some foolery

833
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 10: that has to be said. So do I think he

834
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 10: allows a teammate. Yes, I think that the offense is

835
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 10: going to become stagnant once he comes back in.

836
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 9: Yes.

837
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 10: The real drama, though, is why is it taking so

838
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 10: long to get a real diagnosis. I get Yatika has

839
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 10: nothing to play with. I have it, and like you said,

840
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 10: you can't judge another man's illness based upon what reports say.

841
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 10: But until we get some type of real confirmation, no,

842
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 10: I don't buy it. I think he's just being very

843
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 10: I don't know if I'm allowed to say this from

844
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 10: the air, piss poor with the decision making that he's

845
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 10: coming out with lately, it's been really reg Caunless. You

846
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 10: got your son dropped at fifty five, got on the team.

847
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 11: He's trash.

848
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 10: You gave all.

849
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 7: These good all these great players.

850
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 10: Around you, and yet you can't seem to ever win.

851
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 10: Everything is always an excuse, Bernie, as always, brother, I

852
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 10: love the show. I want to hear the other callers

853
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 10: in their opinions as well. You guys have an awesome

854
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 10: night and go Cubs, go Bulls five and oh.

855
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 2: How about that we'll talk to Mark Medina at one.

856
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: I am about that all right, Kyle starts us off strong. Steven,

857
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City, Welcome in, Steve.

858
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 6: Oh, Bernie.

859
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 2: One a night.

860
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 11: It's always a good night to dissect the Dodgers. Listen,

861
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 11: I think we can throw out the Cubs and the

862
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 11: Red Sox, you know, ending one hundred year drafts. I

863
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 11: think this is definitely the greatest series since in terms

864
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 11: of drama and and what the criteria the two identified

865
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 11: it since Rangers, yeah, and.

866
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals competitiveness and historical significance. You put you together, and

867
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 2: we had plenty of Yeah, go ahead, Well I.

868
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 11: Would I would just make the point. I agree with

869
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 11: most of the panel on Baseball tonight in the post

870
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 11: game show that said the best team did not win

871
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 11: this World Series. The most talented team might have won,

872
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 11: and they're very they're they're very they're not very consistent. Uh,

873
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 11: the better team was the Blue Jays. And no one

874
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 11: can dispute that. No one with the brain can dispute

875
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 11: that the Toronto Blue Jays were outstanding. And it's it's

876
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 11: a shame there had to be a loser.

877
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 6: But the this this series.

878
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 11: Historically may be remembered for identifying the Dodgers the weaknesses

879
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 11: of the Dodgers. Normally, when the Chicago Bulls have a

880
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 11: or the Kansas City Chiefs have a dynasty, you know,

881
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 11: it's pretty it's pretty knowledge they're the best. This this

882
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 11: Dodgers team is winning in spite they have so much

883
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 11: money and so much talent and Dave Robert, in spite

884
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 11: of their manager, in spite of their bad hitting, in

885
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 11: spite of their bullpen. They're they're they're doing They're winning

886
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 11: world championships because because of the fact that they just

887
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 11: lay out so many guys, eventually somebody is.

888
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 7: Going to do something.

889
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 11: So that's what I find interesting that that most of

890
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 11: the baseball I mean, it's just shocking to see baseball media.

891
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 6: After on a big on the biggest.

892
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 11: Sports one of the biggest sports networks, Jessica Mendoza is

893
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 11: saying that the better team did not did not win tonight.

894
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 11: Everyone knows, all.

895
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 2: Right, So you feel the you kind of answered part

896
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 2: B the question because I want to make sure I

897
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: get to all the callers. Part B. You feel the

898
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 2: Blue Jays may have lost it where the Dodgers wanted.

899
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: I want to put work at your mouth, but that's

900
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: what I'm feeling.

901
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 11: Oh absolutely, And I think a lot of fans will

902
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 11: definitely agree that. I can respect the fact that the

903
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 11: Dodgers are are talented and that they have a lot

904
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 11: of money, but that doesn't mean we have to declare

905
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 11: them the greatest. I only believe that Toronto was the

906
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 11: essence of a like the Kansas City Royals in twenty fifteen,

907
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 11: or pick one of your recent champions who were a team.

908
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 11: And this issue about Carton and Lebron, I'm I'm a

909
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,479
Speaker 11: you know, I'm not a I'm not a big Lebron guy,

910
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 11: but listen to Carton's Carton's off the reservation here. Lebron's

911
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 11: obviously has an injury. You know, He's not gonna help

912
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 11: anybody watching a game in Minnesota. So so so Lebron

913
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 11: gets a break on this one. I'm hard on Lebron,

914
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 11: but he let him watch a ballgame in peace without

915
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 11: without the Carton getting all over him. So God, God

916
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 11: bless the Blue Jays. They did great, they did it.

917
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 11: A shame someone had to lose. It was a fantastic

918
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 11: World Series and the Dodgers. The Dodgers. I can root

919
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 11: against them for many years to come.

920
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 7: It'll be fun.

921
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, appreciated man John in California. You are up next.

922
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: What have you got Bernie good? Good sir? How are you?

923
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 6: Oh?

924
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 12: I'm doing right right. When I tuned in, the first

925
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 12: first thing I heard you say was did the Dodgers

926
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 12: winner of the Blue Jays loose?

927
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 6: Did I You.

928
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 12: Know, I think the Dodgers bought it.

929
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 9: That's how I always feel about the Dodgers.

930
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 12: They bought a world series for the money that they

931
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 12: put out for one thing. But you know, I find

932
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 12: it kind of ironic that that with all the money

933
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 12: that they spend, some little second baseman from nowhere that

934
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 12: nobody expected.

935
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 6: You can call me the MVP.

936
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 12: I mean, your Moto did everything he did, but I

937
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 12: mean for drying out loud without that kid from second base.

938
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 12: We're not talking right now about this.

939
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: All right, what I'm getting at though? Fair enough? Do

940
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 2: you think this was the greatest World Series of all time?

941
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 2: And I know it's entirely subjective.

942
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 12: You know, to watch, Yeah, in recent history, I've watched

943
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 12: a lot of world series, but yeah, one of the

944
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,959
Speaker 12: most exciting I've ever watched. I'm a diehard Dodger hater,

945
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 12: and I was praying with everything I had that they

946
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 12: were gonna lose.

947
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 9: But they pulled it off.

948
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 12: But yeah, it was one of the most exciting I've

949
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,439
Speaker 12: ever seen. And I mean it was only a half

950
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 12: inch away at home plate. You know when that kid

951
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 12: threw him out from second base from there.

952
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: Was so many I mean, how about Game six where

953
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 2: a ground real double wedges in the wall. All let's

954
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 2: junsle Lebron. I got to get to all the callers.

955
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: John is Lebron a bad teammate like Craig Cark, Carton says,

956
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: and he's he you know, you got designs on getting

957
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 2: out of the out of l A.

958
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 12: You know what Now, I'd say, yeah, back in the day,

959
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 12: see was you know, everybody was diving to be his teammate.

960
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 6: So you can take that way.

961
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, appreciate it. John, don't be a

962
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 2: stranger to our show. Bryce in Texas, welcome back. What

963
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 2: have you got?

964
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 9: Man?

965
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 7: This has to go down.

966
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 13: This one of the top three World series. That's not

967
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 13: the only thing I could compare this to. I m

968
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 13: akin City Royals fans that twenty fourteen World Series reminded

969
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 13: me just as like this one. I felt like I

970
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 13: was really living it for just I mean, you made

971
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 13: the comparison earlier Yammoto did exactly what mess bum Narner

972
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 13: came out and did to us back in twenty fourteen.

973
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 2: That's right.

974
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, the guy before me mentioned the Rojas hitting a

975
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 13: getting that bass hit or the home run that tied

976
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 13: the game, and yeah, he's right, like he deserves credit.

977
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 13: But nobody talks about Mike Morris hitting targetting Darby I

978
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 13: in Game seven to win the World Series for the Giants. Y'all,

979
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 13: Moamoto will go down as the one that won this game.

980
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 2: All right? All right? Did Blue Jays lose it more

981
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 2: than the Dodgers won it? Again, not my deal, but

982
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 2: we've had people intimate.

983
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 13: That absolutely not. Okay, the Dodgers played probably this Game

984
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 13: seven and the Game three that went eighteen innings like

985
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 13: that was swallless, swallless baseball. And every time the Dodgers

986
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 13: met stuff, Toronto took advantage of them. Every single time

987
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 13: Dodgers had to play probably the perfect game in order

988
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 13: to beat Toronto.

989
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 6: They didn't lose.

990
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 3: Barn didn't lose this.

991
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 6: Dodgers definitely wanted.

992
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 2: That, all right. Finally, Lebron James, reputable reporters have intimated

993
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: he might be looking for the exit. I don't know

994
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 2: if that's true. Danny Creig cart And called him a

995
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: lousy teammate. Whe are you wighing on Lebron.

996
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 13: I think he really does have a paint invite, but

997
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 13: I don't think it's Byantica. I think it's called Autin

998
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 13: Reeves and Luca Donnage like from to sit behind those

999
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 13: two guys, and.

1000
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 6: What's so bad?

1001
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 2: That's what Carton said, all right, as always, strong stuff. Bryce,

1019
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,919
Speaker 3: What's happening? Man? It was an exciting night.

1020
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 14: And this is somebody I'm just telling you right now, I.

1021
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 3: Have not watched a baseball game, and well over I

1022
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 3: mean since COVID you're talking about for four or five years,

1023
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 3: like from beginning to end, and this game, which bizarre

1024
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 3: is it are exciting? Was it came from the from

1025
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 3: all the corruption and the nonsense of termining, the rigging

1026
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 3: of possible football games, and the manipulation of basketball games.

1027
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 3: And one thing that was cool about watching baseball for

1028
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 3: a change was it's I was thpeaking about the gambling scandals,

1029
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I don't know if you've it's betting

1030
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 3: on this. This just seems really pure right now this moment.

1031
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 3: And I took to go back to the history. I

1032
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 3: don't I'm not going to pretend and I don't know

1033
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 3: the history of the great games. But it was a refreshing, exciting,

1034
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 3: you know, way to break out break into November.

1035
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 2: Do you feel like the blue Jays gave it away

1036
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 2: more than the Dodgers won it? Again, not my premise,

1037
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 2: but it's a conversation people are having.

1038
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 15: No.

1039
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 3: I think the blue Jays had the chance to close,

1040
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 3: to wrap it up.

1041
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 14: But I definitely like if if the blue Jays were

1042
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 14: up seven runs, eight runs, then you could say.

1043
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got okay, it's the excellent point. What are

1044
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: your thoughts some Lebron Tony.

1045
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 3: I bet my thought Lebron, as you would always say,

1046
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 3: our athletes and entertainers are kings and queens. One thing

1047
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 3: I will never do, and I'm sure you won't either,

1048
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 3: his bow down to whatever that is, and he he

1049
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure if he does, I'll gladly defend you.

1050
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 3: I don't think he's talking about you, but Bernie, and

1051
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 3: I'm saying this with the utmost respect, I don't think

1052
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 3: Lebron James is worth one more breath of air from

1053
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 3: your lungs.

1054
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 2: Brother, Well, I respect that. I mean, I know, I

1055
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 2: know people can get Lebron fatigue, but this is a

1056
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 2: story because it's the Lakers. He's not there, there's this injury,

1057
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 2: and you've got this situation now where a national media

1058
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 2: guy called him allows you teammates. So he's there in

1059
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 2: the end of his career. Anyway, you get the last word,

1060
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 2: you get the last word. I have to respond to

1061
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 2: these things. Go ahead, Do you get the last time?

1062
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's allow the I don't know him, I.

1063
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 14: Don't need to know him, but I can bet pretty

1064
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 14: well I can make take an assumption that he's not

1065
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 14: he's he's Allowsy everything. But I honestly, I think his

1066
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 14: last relevance, and I may have told you this in

1067
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 14: the past, was this last year in Cleveland. I mean,

1068
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 14: what's wild and I'll wrap it.

1069
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 3: Up here is he's sitting in a city and we're watching.

1070
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 14: The Dodgers, and the Dodgers.

1071
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 3: Are doing everything that Lebron forget la Lebron's never done

1072
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 3: in any of it stops. So I want to I

1073
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 3: want to ask you this and I'll get off.

1074
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 14: I'm curious to know in the twenty first century, the

1075
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 14: last twenty twenty five years, you got you got Brady,

1076
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 14: you got Tiger Woods.

1077
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 3: And right now I'm looking at Otani and what he's done,

1078
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 3: not just in l agis in the dominant of sports.

1079
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 3: Do you look at him in higher regard than whatever

1080
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 3: the hell Lebron's done. I'll let you go.

1081
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 2: I want to wait till he gets the end of

1082
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 2: his career, but I would say the short answer is yes,

1083
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 2: because he's in. No one's done what Otani's done, and

1084
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 2: then includes Babe Ruth. Baby Ruth was three and zero

1085
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 2: in the World Series and had a microscopic yahrab it

1086
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 2: was one for ten at the plate, but he also

1087
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 2: hit more home runs than anybody else. He was hitting

1088
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 2: sixty home runs when teams are hitting ten. So yeah,

1089
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: I would look at Otani in a much higher regard

1090
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 2: than I look at Lebron because of the way he

1091
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: carries himself. But you can't. As much as I don't

1092
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 2: care for Lebron, I don't want to be dismissive of

1093
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 2: his impact that he did did help teams lead, you know,

1094
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 2: get three championships. Thanks again, Tony, John and Georgia, thanks

1095
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 2: to your patience. You're up next, sir. Do we have

1096
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 2: John and Georgia? Yeah, you're on the Airpow.

1097
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 9: Can you hear me?

1098
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 2: I can hear you? Just fine? Go ahead?

1099
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, this series was really interesting when you

1100
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 9: look at the dynamics of everybody. The thing that people

1101
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 9: don't realize. I'm a retired military guy, and uh, I

1102
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 9: spent a lot of time in Asia, and I've watched

1103
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 9: a lot of the Japanese and Korean baseball players, and

1104
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 9: I'm telling you there's a way that's going to come

1105
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 9: with these guys.

1106
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

1107
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 2: I think it's already here. Actually I really do.

1108
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's it's going to continue to come.

1109
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 2: But uh, was this the greatest work series you ever saw?

1110
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 9: I believe? So? Yeah.

1111
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 2: All right, so let me ask you this. Let me

1112
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 2: ask you this, John, Uh, do you believe the Dodgers

1113
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 2: won far and square? Obviously? Of course he did? Or

1114
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 2: was it more the Blue Jays kind of giving it

1115
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 2: away a little bit?

1116
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 9: I believe the Blue Jays failed on a lot of uh,

1117
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 9: you know, they could have been better on the hitting.

1118
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 9: But the fact is Jampo when he comes in, it's like, uh,

1119
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 9: what do you do? You know?

1120
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: No, that's for that's for sure that what he did

1121
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: was incredible back to back knights or right finally real quickly, Lebron,

1122
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 2: is he a bad team in like Krik Carton says?

1123
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 2: And is he angling to get out of La?

1124
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 9: No? I don't believe. So, I think Lebron is Lebron

1125
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 9: is a I'm not I'm a big fan of him.

1126
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 9: But the reality is is that this guy's a the

1127
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 9: great and you can't take away of what he's given

1128
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 9: to that fair. That's fair, and and and the biggest

1129
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 9: thing is that you know the legacy that he leaves behind.

1130
00:59:56,080 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 9: That is you know what who comes behind Lebron?

1131
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, maybe maybe SGA. But all right, thanks

1132
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 2: a lot for checking in tonight, John, appreciate you. And yeah,

1133
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 2: we can hold two thoughts concurrently. Uh, whether or not

1134
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 2: Lebron is overstate is welcome, whether you like him or not. Uh,

1135
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 2: he has been a part of championship for three different teams,

1136
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 2: So you have to hold those thoughts concurrently. Jim in Massachusetts,

1137
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 2: we got to you and Diana here what you gotta say.

1138
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 7: Hey, right, as far as the Dodges and the Blue

1139
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 7: Jays go, that was that was a really good World Series.

1140
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 9: It was entertaining.

1141
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 7: Uh, you know, you had an eighteen inning game and

1142
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 7: you had an over a fixtra inning game for the

1143
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 7: for the game seven. But I don't know who won

1144
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 7: the MVP, but they should have given it to that Yamamoto.

1145
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 7: I mean he did.

1146
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 2: Yamamoto did win the MVP. There was no Okay, Greg,

1147
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 2: by the way, do you think this series superseded seventy

1148
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 2: five were just a week removed?

1149
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 15: Now?

1150
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 7: No, no, no, it was entertained, not no, no, nothing

1151
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 7: seventy five, you know. And the big thing about feeling five,

1152
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 7: the big thing about seventy five World Series was is

1153
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 7: Jim Rice wasn't playing the best fastball hitter of his time.

1154
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 2: During that you had the big red machine and and

1155
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: the thing people seem to forget is that, you know,

1156
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 2: Carlton Fisk's home run just got them to Game seven,

1157
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 2: which they lost. So I think people but fair enough.

1158
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 2: I had a feeling maybe given where you're at, you

1159
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 2: might feel the same. And I understand that. Uh, all right,

1160
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 2: did the Blue Jays give it away? Or did the

1161
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 2: Dodgers win it? Jim?

1162
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 7: Uh, that's a tough one, Brunie. I'm going to stay

1163
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 7: in order to be in order to be the best,

1164
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 7: you got to beat the best, all right. How's that

1165
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 7: for a line? You know? I mean, you can't enough,

1166
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 7: you can't you can't throw you know, kerosene on a fire.

1167
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 7: It was just a great world The greatest one in

1168
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 7: recent time. You know, it might help baseball going forward,

1169
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 7: you know, people tuning in and everything and stuff like that.

1170
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 9: But it's not one of the greatest of all time, but.

1171
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 7: It was definitely one of the entertaining World Series of

1172
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 7: all real quickly.

1173
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 2: On Lebron, Jim, you heard my thoughts.

1174
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know Lebron. You know he's in a quiet taste,

1175
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 7: I think now that I think about it. I mean

1176
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 7: I was never a fan of his. Uh, I knew

1177
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 7: how he was when he was playing aau ball and everything.

1178
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 9: He was always that big.

1179
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 7: I mean, he never had anybody put him in his place, So,

1180
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 7: you know, he did a lot of good things and

1181
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 7: great things and stuff with basketball. But yeah, I.

1182
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 2: Was onto something. Man, he's he was mirroring Craig Carton,

1183
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 2: who's basically he's his feelings are hurt. He's just he's

1184
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 2: not the guy. They don't want him. They didn't want

1185
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 2: to re up him. First time he's been told no,

1186
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 2: you got the last word, Jim real quickly.

1187
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, you know what, Bernie, he should have left

1188
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 7: five five years ago A right.

1189
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Probably probably. I think I think he could be here

1190
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 2: five years now. I'm not I'm not kidding. You never

1191
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 2: get rid of this guy. Jim always appreciates your thoughts.

1192
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Candidates to sync Alan and Saint Louis sainks for your patients.

1193
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 2: You are up next, my friend.

1194
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 16: Well, good morning, Bernie.

1195
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 2: How are you good?

1196
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 16: I tell you one thing I'll say, out of all

1197
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 16: the World Series I've seen, this has been the greatest

1198
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 16: because you're talking about drama from anyone to any eighteen

1199
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 16: to the to the K and I heard a previous

1200
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 16: earliest period. I kind of disagree with the previous call.

1201
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 16: He's talking about the team about Toronto was a better team.

1202
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 16: If you look at the Dodgers, what the non superstar

1203
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 16: players did. They made more big plays.

1204
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 2: That's a great observation. They put in Andy Pajas in

1205
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 2: center field for defensive purposes and he makes one of

1206
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 2: the toughest catches I can remember in the World Series.

1207
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 2: That game's over and he'd be just about bowl over

1208
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 2: the left fielder.

1209
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 9: Go ahead, you know.

1210
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 16: And you know we always criticize the manager when he

1211
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 16: took Tommy Edmond out. You think Edward would have made

1212
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 16: that play at second base?

1213
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Well never know, but they seemed like Dave. He put

1214
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 2: in Miguel Rojas going into Game six, he turned the levers.

1215
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 2: He had the guts to do some unpreventional you know,

1216
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: uh uh, some unconventional things, and it worked out. Dave Roberts.

1217
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 16: Course, of course, the Dodgers have a large payroll, but

1218
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 16: the players that won't help win this series they were

1219
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 16: they were not high payroll players.

1220
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 3: And that's what a team is, actually having.

1221
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 16: The other players step up when because let's face it,

1222
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 16: the top four hitters average wise, they didn't do they

1223
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 16: didn't do the greatest, but the other players pulled them up.

1224
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 16: And that's why I loved it, because I just loved

1225
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 16: the drama. You know, with the players at the play.

1226
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 16: How many players of the.

1227
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 6: Play have you seen that?

1228
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 9: Yes?

1229
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, Finally, your thoughts on Lebron if you

1230
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 2: have any.

1231
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, okay, First of all, I didn't date Toronto lost

1232
01:04:58,160 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 16: it too.

1233
01:04:58,520 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: I just think, oh, yes, that's fair.

1234
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay.

1235
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 16: As far as Lebron's turn, I'm going to use it

1236
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 16: in three words, Lebron can't win. Now, people say Lebron

1237
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 16: is silent. If Lebron was around the media and everything

1238
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 16: answering questions, they would say he's trying to steal the spotlight.

1239
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 16: And you know, maybe this could he's being quiet and

1240
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 16: he's not going to be with the team all the time.

1241
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 16: He can't travel with him because he has atoica. Anybody

1242
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 16: with a bad back and gets on an airplane will

1243
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 16: know what happens when that cabin pressure drops. So you know,

1244
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 16: I don't know everything that's going on, but I think

1245
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 16: this is one time Lebron being silent. Maybe that's not

1246
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 16: his choice. Maybe the team is telling him, you know,

1247
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 16: as for you know, Craig Carton out, I gotta get

1248
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 16: there with a whole other story. But there's always somebody

1249
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 16: out there who says, I think this is a.

1250
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 2: Very measured, pragmatic response on tip of the cap to you,

1251
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 2: we don't know the whole story. And you're right. This

1252
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 2: is one of those cases is where perhaps Lebron is

1253
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 2: damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Last word

1254
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 2: Allen and I got it too. The next one ahead.

1255
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 16: Since we get an extra hour? Do we get an

1256
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 16: extra hour of the power hour?

1257
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 2: What's what's the power hour?

1258
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 16: I not the power hour? I'm thinking about something. Hell,

1259
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 16: but what's going on now?

1260
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 9: What?

1261
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 16: You don't lose my trainer's all. But I could listen

1262
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 16: to these callers all day because.

1263
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, maybe maybe the I have a

1264
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 2: guest from Ohio State the final hour of the show.

1265
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 2: Uh but maybe I maybe I will open up the

1266
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 2: phone lines and if yeah, maybe I will. We'll see.

1267
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 2: I got so much to get to I may not

1268
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 2: get to it all. I got five hours. Thanks a lot.

1269
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 2: Alan really appreciates, really measured thoughts. Man Well and Guardina. Yes, sir,

1270
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen.

1271
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 15: I just won't to celebrate because Elie just win back

1272
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 15: to bag World Series champions. Baby.

1273
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 2: No one can take it away from him, give it you.

1274
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 2: It's very hard too.

1275
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 15: What a series, Bernie, right, I mean, like the caller earlier,

1276
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 15: I'm not going to go as far as saying it's

1277
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 15: the greatest ever. Seventy five was pretty up there, sixteen

1278
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 15: was pretty unbelievable. Yeah, but what a series? I mean,

1279
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 15: Michel fing Rojas, Yoshinobu fing Yamamoto, Daves fing Roberts. What

1280
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 15: you said, man, to have the Gonad to not only

1281
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 15: pull Tommy Edman, to put in Pohis, to put in Rojas,

1282
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 15: pull all those levers and have them come. You know,

1283
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 15: it could have been xxx Instead it was Cherry Cherry

1284
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 15: Cherry and the jack pot hid. I mean, this team

1285
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 15: man play one back to back in this run, especially

1286
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 15: this World Series run, despite their own self. Man, at

1287
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 15: times they look like a damn littleby teams, you know,

1288
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 15: running themselves out of innings playing that defense. But they

1289
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 15: showed the heart of the champion two outs away and

1290
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 15: absolutely not. It would be disrespect to say Toronto lost

1291
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 15: that game. The Dodgers showed the heart of the champion

1292
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 15: and they took that game, Bernie, in more ways than one,

1293
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 15: in all kinds of plays late innings. That's what champions do.

1294
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 2: Outstanding thoughts on Lebron Miguel Sorry.

1295
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 15: You know, man, I'm not a big Lebron fan either.

1296
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 15: I think he is starting to get selfish. He never

1297
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 15: was really, but now, I mean, his ego precedes him.

1298
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 15: His ego is bigger than the mansion that he lives in.

1299
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 15: And like you said, he can't take no for an answer.

1300
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 15: And when the Lakers said, hey, he's a big fella,

1301
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 15: this is not your party anymore. We're going with the

1302
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 15: fat Euro, he didn't like that, man. So uh, you know,

1303
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 15: he's got to find his role. That's what good champion

1304
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 15: players do. But I don't think is he going to

1305
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 15: allow him to? And I think he will be around

1306
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 15: five years. Like you said, Bernie, love the show.

1307
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Thanks so much. Manuel James in Australia, welcome in.

1308
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 8: Good to hear from you, Bernie. How you got Mike?

1309
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 2: Good? Thank you, sir, you.

1310
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 8: Very good. Now I'm gonna say that that was the

1311
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 8: most epic guy, the most epic advice boat that I've

1312
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 8: ever seen. And it's a world series. Well, let's call

1313
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 8: on the world series Japan. I Clay break Canada, didn't.

1314
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 17: I in that?

1315
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 2: That's why I love this segment so much. Callers come

1316
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 2: up with such great angles. Yeah, you're not wrong, rookie

1317
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 2: y Yamamoto sani.

1318
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 8: Right, that's right.

1319
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 4: He was a doc.

1320
01:09:58,760 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 15: He's a doc.

1321
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 8: Tame me on the second Guide and there was the

1322
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 8: second Weapon.

1323
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 2: Well, listen, that's an interesting take. And I it's you know,

1324
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,560
Speaker 2: whether or not it was the greatest world series as subjective,

1325
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 2: but you can make that case based on the criteria

1326
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 2: I lay it out.

1327
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 9: Now.

1328
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 2: I have to ask this because it's a conversation point.

1329
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 2: It's a talking point. You think the Blue Jays gave

1330
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 2: it away a little bit more than the Dodgers actually won. It.

1331
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 9: Well, I.

1332
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 8: Didn't want to sign this because a lot of the

1333
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 8: Australians were going to Canada. But I think I think

1334
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 8: there was a few dodgy tactics with the Bloy Giants

1335
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 8: and I'll just flavored of that.

1336
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 2: By the way, down in the great country of Australia,

1337
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 2: have you ever heard of Lebron James down there?

1338
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 8: We definitely have ye.

1339
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 2: Yes, So your thoughts on Lebron James and he's heading

1340
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 2: into uh because I listen, we had some great calls.

1341
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,600
Speaker 2: Alan Lewis says, we don't really know. Maybe he's not

1342
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 2: allowed to travel and he's dan if he does, dan

1343
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 2: if he does not. On the other hand, Man Well

1344
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 2: pointed out, listen, Lebron likes to be front and center,

1345
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 2: and it'd be he wouldn't be human if it wasn't

1346
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 2: bothering him. That Luca's really kind of aced him out. Thoughts.

1347
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 8: Oh, look, Lebron's the I's gonna be a gun, gonna

1348
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 8: be a legend in that books. I mean, yeah, you

1349
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 8: look at his look at his look at his repertoire,

1350
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 8: look at his history. Right hey, yeah, every everyone, everyone

1351
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 8: wants to be the villain. But like you know, that's

1352
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 8: all right, that's all.

1353
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:43,600
Speaker 2: Rot, all right, thanks for checking in. James really appreciate it.

1354
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 7: Now.

1355
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 2: We had Danny in Toronto holding on and he jumped offline.

1356
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 2: It's a bummer. I really wanted to hear from Danny

1357
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 2: in Toronto because someone in Toronto. I've been to that

1358
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 2: stadium many times, been to that city many times. Young Street,

1359
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 2: Sean Green, he was a very good friend of mine.

1360
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 2: We'd visit him when I lived in Detroit when he

1361
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 2: was playing for the Blue Jays. What a hell of

1362
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 2: a baseball town that people don't realize what a great

1363
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 2: baseball town that is. So I'm sure Danny, if you're

1364
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 2: still listening, take a minute to call back in, because

1365
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 2: I do. I really did want to hear what you

1366
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 2: had to say. Eight seven seven nine nine six sixty

1367
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 2: three sixty nine eight seven seven, nine to nine On Fox.

1368
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 2: We're having a terrific midnight hour as always because of

1369
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 2: the callers, very interesting, disparate opinions and thoughts. We're talking

1370
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 2: about is just the greatest world series of all time.

1371
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 2: And I listed other ones seventy five, eighty six, ninety

1372
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 2: one right on down the line, twenty eleven, twenty sixteen,

1373
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 2: Look it's subjective, I get it. But there was drama,

1374
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 2: there was historical moments, it was very competitive, and then

1375
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 2: you know the Blue Jays. They left forty one men

1376
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 2: on base the last three losses and there were just

1377
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 2: things they did. There were mental mistakes that that really

1378
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 2: cost him. And then finally Lebron according to reports from some,

1379
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 2: he may be have a he may have a very

1380
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 2: uncertain future in Los Angeles. What that means, I don't know.

1381
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:09,839
Speaker 2: I don't know. Will he look for the door halfway

1382
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 2: through the year. Could there be I know, their trade rumors.

1383
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 2: I don't know about any of that. We're gonna talk

1384
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 2: to Mark Medina later, but it's it's part of the mix.

1385
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 2: So eight seven, seven, nine nine sixty six three six nine.

1386
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,640

1415
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven nine, ninety six, six three six nine.

1416
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 2: Some thoughts and the reason I threw it out there

1417
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 2: as to why we going to have a conversation. Yes,

1418
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 2: it's subjective that this may have been the greatest World

1419
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 2: Series of all time. We'll consay when you're at the

1420
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 2: water cooler on Monday, just think about it. These are

1421
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 2: some of the things we saw during this World Series.

1422
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 2: He's last nine days, an eighteen inning game in Game three.

1423
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 2: You see that every day, No, and over seven hundred

1424
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 2: World Series games, only five made it past inning twelve.

1425
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 2: He had to pinch it Grand Slam by Addison Barger

1426
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jays. He had a walk off, another walk

1427
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 2: off home run by well, Freddie Freeman. Of course, that's

1428
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 2: what he does the World Series. I remember, I'm old

1429
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 2: enough to remember he did that last year in game

1430
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 2: won against the Yankees. That World Series wasn't anywhere near

1431
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 2: as dramatic as this one, but Freddy did it again

1432
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 2: in his walkoff was dramatic, ending the six hour and

1433
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 2: thirty nine minute game on Monday night, which led it

1434
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 2: to Tuesday morning. How often you see this game? Five

1435
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:56,799
Speaker 2: back to back home runs by Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero

1436
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 2: Schneider was in for George Springer, who we didn't think

1437
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 2: would be in the rest of the series. He leads

1438
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 2: off the game of the home run. First pitch, all right,

1439
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 2: n Vladdie hits it off, and all of a sudden,

1440
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 2: it's two nothing in game five, and well, you know

1441
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 2: what happened. You don't see complete games ever anywhere, but

1442
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 2: you saw a complete game by Yamamoto. And then he

1443
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 2: comes back and does what he does, three road wins.

1444
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,719
Speaker 2: How about a twelve strikeout game. Okay, you don't really

1445
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 2: ever see twelve strikeout games in the World Series, But

1446
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 2: how about a guy that had only been in the

1447
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 2: big leagues for forty seven days? Treya Savage? What the

1448
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 2: guy's got a release point of over seven feet high.

1449
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 2: It's talking about a buddy Larry Sorenson about this. I've

1450
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,719
Speaker 2: never seen an arm slot like that. But here's the kicker.

1451
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 2: So I was in Florida my wife in early May

1452
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 2: went to a minor league game Dunedin against Saint Pete Phillies. Well, you, Savage.

1453
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:03,680
Speaker 2: Treya Savage was playing for Dneed in Single A in May,

1454
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 2: and he's in the big leagues in the World Series.

1455
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 2: Half at a time, He was almost a World series eero.

1456
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 2: He was a World Series eero. They didn't win, but

1457
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 2: he was. You think you seen this kind of stuff

1458
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 2: in every world series, No, you don't. Only one other

1459
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 2: world series in history featured a walkoff homer, a pinchhit homer,

1460
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 2: back to back homers, and a complete game. And it's

1461
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 2: the one I was talking to Jim from Massachusetts about.

1462
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 2: That was the classic nineteen seventy five Cincinnati Reds Big

1463
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 2: Red Machine Red Sox World Series, which had Carlton Fisk's

1464
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 2: twelfth inning walkoff homer which forced Game seven, two Bernie

1465
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 2: Carbo pinchhate home runs, two Louis t On, complete games,

1466
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 2: and by the way, the Reds and the Big Red

1467
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 2: Machine hit back to back home runs in Game three.

1468
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 2: That's the only other world series in history that featured

1469
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 2: some of the things that this world series did. Oh.

1470
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 2: By the way, only one other world series in history

1471
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,560
Speaker 2: matches this one for a slightly different set of accomplishments,

1472
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixty four Cardinal the Yankees World Series. That

1473
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 2: one had a Mickey Mantle walkoff homer, an extra inning game,

1474
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 2: two grand slams, a complete game, and a double digit

1475
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 2: strackout game. From the legendary Hall of Famer Bob Gibson.

1476
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 2: But what's interesting is that's not all you talk to historians.

1477
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 2: And by the way, how about show Heo Tani got

1478
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 2: on base nine times in the Intonadian game? Nine times

1479
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 2: in one game? How many of these balls, bats, uniforms

1480
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 2: are gonna end up in the Hall of Fame? And

1481
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 2: in game seven? Have we ever really seen anything like

1482
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 2: a Game seven like we saw? Because there were things

1483
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 2: you don't look. I said at the top of the show,

1484
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 2: baseball or sports are the greatest reality show. You could

1485
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 2: script everything, but the ending, well, there's an old thing.

1486
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 2: Just when you think you've seen it all, you see

1487
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 2: something new. That's baseball. This was the one hundred and

1488
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 2: fiftieth season of Major League baseball. There have been one

1489
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two years of postseason baseball. This was

1490
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 2: the seven hundred and sixth World Series game ever played.

1491
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 2: It was also the one eight hundred and seventy seventh

1492
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 2: postseason game ever played. Now, why don't you give you

1493
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 2: all those numbers on the radio? You followed them? Don't

1494
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 2: like to do that, but there's a reason. Okay, there

1495
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 2: have been more than seven hundred World Series games none

1496
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 2: had ever ined on a double play like the one

1497
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 2: that ended on Game six on Friday Night, a lion

1498
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 2: drive to leftfielder, who then doubled up the runner on

1499
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 2: second base, seven to four. If you're scoring at all,

1500
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 2: there have been eighteen hundred postseason games, none of them.

1501
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 2: And think of how the inning started. Hit a walk,

1502
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 2: and then and then Barger hits a ground ruld double. Well,

1503
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 2: if it's an inch fire, the Blue Jays probably scored

1504
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 2: two runs, but it lands in the wedge. Justin Dean

1505
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,679
Speaker 2: raises his hands a ground ruld double. The very next hitter,

1506
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 2: Amens lines out to left field, Barder gets double off second,

1507
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 2: and ninety seconds he went from what might have been

1508
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 2: a hero to a goat. Oh man, I could go

1509
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 2: on and on and on and on, and maybe we

1510
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 2: will later in the show, because I do want to

1511
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 2: talk about why it's so hard to repeat, and oh,

1512
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 2: by the way, and we'll get to the money stuff

1513
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 2: later as well, but we got to get to the

1514
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 2: NBA coming up top of the hour mark madeIn and

1515
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,160

01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 2: Sports Radio NBA guru, also a writer for Essentially Sports,

1527
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 2: Mark Bedina joins us. Mark, let's dive right in some

1528
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 2: fairly inflammatory comments about Lebron Jame from Craig Carton and oh,

1529
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 2: by the way, from repudoy reporters who have implied somewhat

1530
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 2: perhaps that Lebron's silence and lack of presence, as it were,

1531
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 2: might he be at some point this season angling to

1532
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 2: move on? The quote was his future is uncertain? What

1533
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 2: that means? Mark, there's three or four questions here taken away.

1534
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 18: Yeah, well, look, anything can happen with Lebron James. But

1535
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 18: I'm on record, and I know it doesn't sound sexy, sallacious,

1536
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 18: but he might be dissatisfied with things with the Lakers,

1537
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 18: or not making enough even more aggressive moves, or not

1538
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 18: giving him an extension this summer. But practically speaking, he

1539
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 18: is not leaving the Lakers. He's not going to negotiate

1540
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 18: a buyout. It's making fifty two million dollars this season.

1541
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 18: And I think, also in fairness to Lebron, there's a

1542
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 18: lot of insinuation al he's faking this injury all that.

1543
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 18: I talked with some other doctors this week about sky Attica,

1544
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 18: Like it's a real injury, it's very painful. So I

1545
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 18: would very much doubted that he's, you know, just faking

1546
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,679
Speaker 18: this as some sort of political protests or something against

1547
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 18: the Lakers.

1548
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 2: No, I'm in agreement with that. I've never questioned a

1549
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 2: player's injury in any sport.

1550
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 17: Ever.

1551
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 2: You don't know the threshold, the pain threshold they have,

1552
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 2: and it's I don't think it's fair to do that.

1553
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 2: But it's been implied by you know, Craig Carton, who's

1554
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 2: pretty out there in terms of his you know, commentary

1555
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 2: every now and then. I know you know who Craig is.

1556
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 2: So you believe there's really no merit to that whatsoever

1557
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 2: at all.

1558
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 18: No, but at the same time, that doesn't mean that,

1559
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 18: you know, Lebron James and the Lakers front office are

1560
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 18: you know, locked to the hip and everything. But I

1561
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 18: do think that, you know, there's a lot of interpretation

1562
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 18: his for the season opener on his very stolic body language,

1563
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 18: and you know, I think that's a tone you like

1564
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 18: to have the leader of the team, you know, celebrate

1565
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 18: and clap. But you know, the next game, when Luca

1566
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 18: Dodgers was going off, he was he was celebrating. So

1567
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 18: there is kind of that fine line of reading too much.

1568
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 18: But that's not to say he's blameless. I think a

1569
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 18: key thing with this injury that I do want to

1570
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 18: point out is, while nothing is definitive, I did ask

1571
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 18: the question because there's all this speculation from Laker fans,

1572
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 18: I had Lebron James get injured. Welp golfing and you

1573
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 18: know the Lake Lebron's folks will say it happened in

1574
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 18: a workout, but a lot of the doctors I talked

1575
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 18: to said, you know, I can't definitively say that was

1576
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 18: the factor, but golfing is something that can perpetuate that

1577
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 18: injury because of the twisting torquing motion. And all that,

1578
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 18: And that's something that they were surprised he would indulge in,

1579
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 18: given you know where he's at in his career at

1580
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 18: four years old.

1581
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think Creig Carton was nonplus by the fact

1582
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 2: he didn't travel to Minnesota either when he made a

1583
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 2: point to beat the Dodger game the night before. But

1584
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 2: let's let's move off that. I've watched the Lakers a

1585
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 2: lot this year. They're foreign two. I'm on record as

1586
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 2: saying I think they're going to be forty to and forty.

1587
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 2: I could be eating crow A come March, but we'll see.

1588
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 2: But here's here's the thing. Sure, Austin Reeves goes on,

1589
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 2: goes off when he's got the ball. He's ball dependent.

1590
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 2: Luca's ball dependent, So Lebron is ball dependent. Let's not

1591
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 2: kid ourselves. So when all three of them are on

1592
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 2: the floor and they all are ball dependent in order

1593
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 2: to be at the ceiling that the Lakers want them

1594
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 2: to be, isn't this a conflict? Isn't this sort of

1595
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 2: heading toward a collision course in your view?

1596
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 18: Well, there's certainly a lot of sacrifices that Luca, Dongregen Lawson,

1597
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:54,640
Speaker 18: Reeves are going to make They're not going to get

1598
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 18: the amount of shots because Lebron's there. But you know,

1599
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 18: when I'm looking at last season and kind of the shortcomings,

1600
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 18: I don't think that it was X's and O's conflict

1601
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:08,560
Speaker 18: with Lebron and Luca. I think till Lebron's credit, he

1602
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 18: embraced the defensive role, embraced playing off ball. I think

1603
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 18: Luca sometimes played too much one on one basketball, not

1604
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 18: enough ball movement, but that I think has improved so

1605
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 18: far in his return here. And I think a bigger

1606
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 18: thing is they've upgreated their roster. It's not blockbuster home

1607
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 18: run moves, but again, deandreid and you have an actual center,

1608
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:31,720
Speaker 18: you have a pick and roll lob Thread. You have

1609
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 18: some wing defenders like Marcus Smart, Gabe Vincent. He's out

1610
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,799
Speaker 18: with the injury, but pre injury, he was hitting shots,

1611
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 18: defending well. So I think those reinforcements can make a

1612
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 18: difference now. Big picture, look the Thunder undefeated for a reason,

1613
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,799
Speaker 18: even with some of their own injury issues with Jalen Williams.

1614
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 18: The San Antonio Spurs like they've shown that they are

1615
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,959
Speaker 18: the real deal. Victorwebanyama is not only in the defensive

1616
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 18: player of the Year conversation, but he could very well

1617
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,799
Speaker 18: be in the MVP conversation. So I think the general

1618
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 18: thing when Lebron comes back, the fit will be well.

1619
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 18: But you know, the ceiling is they're the second among

1620
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 18: the second tier of Western Conference playoff teams and they're

1621
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 18: probably not getting past the second round because Oklahoma City

1622
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 18: and Denver and maybe even San Antonio are that much

1623
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:22,959
Speaker 18: more dominant.

1624
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 2: Taman Mark Medina Medina Magic Are Fox Sports Radio NBA

1625
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 2: guru writer for Essentially Sports. Yeah, you're not wrong about

1626
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 2: san Antonio. Not only the five and oh there point

1627
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 2: differential is almost fifteen points per game. So we'll continue

1628
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,639
Speaker 2: to watch that as we will with the Chicago Bulls,

1629
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 2: the only undefeated team in the Eastern Conference. Didn't see

1630
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 2: that coming, Mark, What do you make of the Chicago

1631
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 2: Bulls and five to zero?

1632
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 18: I did not have that online big old Bengo card either.

1633
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 18: I mean, part of it is, yes, the Eastern Conference

1634
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 18: is wide open, but I thought this would be a

1635
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 18: Chicago Bulls team that's just on empty calories. Yeah, they

1636
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 18: have Josh Kitty Nikolovusovich, but they don't have a lot

1637
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 18: of cohesion. They broke up, you know, their team for

1638
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 18: financial reasons and also just accepting the fact that their

1639
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 18: ceiling was just playing tournament in a quick out and

1640
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 18: so it is early in the season, but I think

1641
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 18: the fact that they have a lot of balance on

1642
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,680
Speaker 18: offense or hustling really well. And the Eastern Conference is

1643
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 18: wide open with you know, Boston clearly showing this is

1644
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 18: a gap year with al Jason Tatum, and you know,

1645
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 18: the business decisions with trading Drew Holliday and of course

1646
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 18: out for zingis in separate deals in Indiana because tyres

1647
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 18: Halburn is not healthy with his achilles injury. But you know, look,

1648
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 18: momentum can be a thing in the NBA and when

1649
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 18: he get off to a good start, sometimes that can

1650
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 18: be a snowball effect.

1651
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, very true, and it's it's very early. But oh,

1652
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 2: by the way, that deafening silence we hear out there

1653
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,719
Speaker 2: is all the use about the NBA Cup. Do people

1654
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 2: realize the NBA Cup is.

1655
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 18: Start Mark, here's why people realize. The courts are so

1656
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,600
Speaker 18: bright you need to wear sunglasses if you're watching it

1657
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 18: both live or on TV.

1658
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 2: Fair fair enough, and hopefully you haven't been imbibing too

1659
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 2: much and staring.

1660
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 18: Hey, Bernie when you tell a hell of a joke,

1661
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 18: I tell the audience to tip. The audience tip the

1662
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 18: servers well tonight. So you know, I'm not saying the reciprocate,

1663
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 18: but I'm saying the reciprocate.

1664
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 2: All right, all right, don't forget to tip those waiters

1665
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 2: and waitresses. Two shows, Mark, Meadena opened up for Shecky.

1666
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 2: I believe you're opening up for Shacky Green and the

1667
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 2: Cats Skills next week. I have to check my schedule,

1668
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 2: but good sections available. Mark, you never I we don't

1669
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 2: we hear any of this, and you're you're spot on

1670
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 2: with uh all of your off the hip on knowledge.

1671
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's shift gears. Speaking of injury, could it

1672
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 2: be Anthony Davis three games into the season is already

1673
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 2: heard again?

1674
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 18: I mean, look, we've seen his injury history, so uh,

1675
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 18: you know, he excited Mavericks fans at least a little

1676
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:05,680
Speaker 18: bit the first half of his first game after the

1677
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,759
Speaker 18: Leucadogics trade went down them and he had a severe

1678
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 18: injury that sidelined him not for the entire season, but

1679
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 18: for a good chunk.

1680
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 6: You know.

1681
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:17,680
Speaker 18: I know his injury history is what it is, but

1682
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 18: I thought when the Dallas Mavericks goot Anthony Davis. He

1683
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:25,679
Speaker 18: would show that he was more durable than people thought.

1684
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 18: Here's why, when you're looking at the timeline from January

1685
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 18: twenty third to when the Lakers actually trade him, he

1686
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 18: didn't have a major injury. I mean, he wasn't mister Ironman.

1687
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 18: No one's calling him the air to ac Green. But

1688
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 18: the amount of games he missed were just a handful

1689
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 18: here or there. So you know, right now it's very

1690
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,680
Speaker 18: short term. They're just saying first two games because of

1691
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,599
Speaker 18: a calf strain, But calf strains are no joke, even

1692
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 18: if it's low grade. That's what THEMRI revealed. Those are

1693
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:01,960
Speaker 18: very sensitive injuries. And so the other thing is caps

1694
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:06,720
Speaker 18: trains historically can lead to Achilles injuries exactly, does not

1695
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 18: managed correctly and the player rushes back. So yeah, there's

1696
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 18: always been a lot of problems with the Dallas and Avericks.

1697
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 18: First training for Luka Dontrich, even though you got some

1698
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 18: good players in return with Andy Davis and Max Chirsty

1699
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 18: first round pick not good enough for generational talent, the

1700
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 18: NAD getting hurt, Kyrie Irving having the ACL injury to

1701
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 18: shut him out for the rest of the season, he's

1702
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 18: probably not coming back from midway this season. Cooper flags

1703
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 18: rookie struggles, which I think will turn around, But now

1704
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 18: Anthony Davis having injuries, it just seems like, already very

1705
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 18: early in the season, the Dallas and Mavericks are in

1706
01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 18: a deep pole.

1707
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, it is early in the season, and two years

1708
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 2: ago at this point, I think when the Lakers started

1709
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 2: like eight and fourteen or something, you end up in

1710
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,640
Speaker 2: the conference finals. So we shall have to wait and see.

1711
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of early in the season, is it true the

1712
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 2: Pelicans already considering firing their coach Willie Green one weekend

1713
01:30:59,600 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 2: of the season.

1714
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 18: I have in sense that, you know, I caught up

1715
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 18: with the Pelicans when they're in LA against the Clippers.

1716
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 18: You know, you never know in today's NBA. And you

1717
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 18: also have to keep in mind that you du Mars

1718
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 18: took over the front office, so it is a reasonable

1719
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 18: thing to monitor because a lot of times when there's

1720
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 18: a new person in front office, they want to have

1721
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 18: someone that they hired. But you know, it's too early

1722
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,640
Speaker 18: in the season to know. I think that they've been

1723
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 18: very encouraged with how aggressive Zion Williamson has been on

1724
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 18: both ends of the floor. More consistent of score actually

1725
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 18: being a pretty good defender. They are missing Kevon Looney,

1726
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 18: who was a you know, it's not a game changer,

1727
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 18: but he's a valued role player with the Warriors as

1728
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 18: a championship equity. He's expected to come back, possibly as

1729
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:51,439
Speaker 18: early as today against Yoklahoma City Thunder. So too early

1730
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 18: to see, but yeah, the Pelicans have been riding this

1731
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 18: kind of road for the last two seasons where they

1732
01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 18: have an intriguing young roster. But now it's about pipeline

1733
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:07,560
Speaker 18: up to their potential. That starts with Zion, but you know,

1734
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 18: in fairness, it's also about Trey Murphy the third. Can

1735
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 18: Jeremiah fears Be have a good rookie season? Is that

1736
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 18: Derek Queen rookie draft pick something that they'll regret or

1737
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 18: can he blossom into something? But so far they haven't

1738
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 18: learned how to win close games. Three of those losses

1739
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:27,879
Speaker 18: have been by single digits. They almost beat the Clippers

1740
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 18: the other night before Kawhi Leonard hit a step back

1741
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 18: jumper over them. So yeah, too early to see, but

1742
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 18: they got to turn this around pretty quickly or else

1743
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:38,560
Speaker 18: this will be a conversation I will probably have in

1744
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 18: future segments.

1745
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:46,040
Speaker 2: So One of the other ominous headlines in this early

1746
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 2: NBA season is the league, I think collectively and the

1747
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 2: pulland Drail Blazers trying to reconcile this situation with Chauncey Billups.

1748
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:58,640
Speaker 2: I think people are in shock the situation, and I

1749
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 2: understand that his pay and Terry Rosier's pay are being withheld,

1750
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:06,559
Speaker 2: but the union is fighting that. Can you tell us

1751
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:08,080
Speaker 2: about how that's progressing.

1752
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 18: Yeah, Well, the union, I think, philosophically, are always going

1753
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,639
Speaker 18: to fight for their players because that's what they represent.

1754
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 18: But it's also just about ensuring that there's due process.

1755
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 18: Everyone takes these allegations seriously, but they have to go

1756
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 18: through the court of law to determine the severity of

1757
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:30,759
Speaker 18: it and guilty not guilty, but if guilty, what's true

1758
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 18: what isn't.

1759
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:33,560
Speaker 19: So that's what it is.

1760
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 18: I think we have to temper expectations on how long

1761
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 18: this is going to happen. I mean, they made an arrest,

1762
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 18: but now it's about going through the court process and

1763
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 18: all that. So I would expect that this is a

1764
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 18: season long investigation with the FBI, and so you know,

1765
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 18: they put the Portland Trailblazers put Shauncey Billups on leave.

1766
01:33:57,160 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 18: They can't actually say he's fired because you know, from

1767
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,679
Speaker 18: a appeals process, that could get them into hot water.

1768
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 18: But you put them on on pay leave, it'll kind

1769
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,960
Speaker 18: of sort out. So even though Tiago's Splitter is technically

1770
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 18: the interim head coach, he's the head coach the rest

1771
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 18: of the year and likely onward, and you know, to

1772
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 18: a man from this purely a basketball lens, he's handled

1773
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 18: the job really well. I've been really impressed while with

1774
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 18: how well they're competing talking to some of the guys

1775
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 18: with the Blazers, Drew Holliday and most notably as you know,

1776
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 18: being an established all star veter on the team. They've

1777
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 18: really sung Thiago Splitter's praises by how resilient he's deal

1778
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 18: with the group, talking to them about the situation as

1779
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:47,160
Speaker 18: a group individually and really having them have tunnel vision

1780
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 18: on just trying to you know, focus on basketball. Because

1781
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:53,280
Speaker 18: even though all the players you know on this team

1782
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 18: had relationships with Chauncey and to a man through the

1783
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,640
Speaker 18: basketball lane, they have a lot of respect for him

1784
01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:01,960
Speaker 18: and they hope this can sort out as best as

1785
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 18: possible for them. They're also, you know, very much stressing

1786
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:09,800
Speaker 18: that this has nothing to do with them, and so

1787
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 18: they have to focus, you know, forward on strictly the

1788
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 18: basketball lens. Let everything else take care of itself.

1789
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:17,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1790
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 2: Of course poor Lands is foreign too, and they won

1791
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,360
Speaker 2: one three in earl. Moving along, I understand how the

1792
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 2: refs are going to be wearing headsets, which will help

1793
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 2: expedite their communication with the replay center. Is that true?

1794
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:32,679
Speaker 2: Is that happening or is that not happening?

1795
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean that's true. Now is that going to

1796
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 18: expedite the replay center?

1797
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 3: Who knows?

1798
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 18: I mean, we've made the often recycled joke, and look,

1799
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 18: we can reuse the material because it was great. We've

1800
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 18: often joked during these replays that we've decided to watch

1801
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 18: Oppenheimer while they're deciding to wait if the call is

1802
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,679
Speaker 18: right or not. So I guess anything that can help

1803
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,920
Speaker 18: mitigate it, but I'm going to wait and see. There's

1804
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 18: been so many time times that they've been disrupting the

1805
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 18: flow of the game because they're obsessed with getting the

1806
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 18: call right. And I get it, you want to be accurate,

1807
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 18: But I think that the biggest criteria that referee should

1808
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:18,840
Speaker 18: be held to is are they ensuring a good flow

1809
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,760
Speaker 18: to the game, and are they being consistent. I think

1810
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:25,840
Speaker 18: those two things are arguably actually more important than if

1811
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 18: it's a right or wrong call. Because everyone's human, You're

1812
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 18: going to make mistakes. That by that constant stopping and

1813
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 18: the constant inconsistency, I think frustrates both teams and certainly

1814
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:37,759
Speaker 18: the fans.

1815
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,759
Speaker 2: Wrapping up with Marvinina a couple of other quick things, Mark,

1816
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 2: I understand Memphis has suspend a job Moran for conduct

1817
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:48,439
Speaker 2: detrimental to the team. Do we have what you like,

1818
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,080
Speaker 2: take up two parking spots or what would happen would be?

1819
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 2: What did he do?

1820
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 18: No, he didn't take up too smart parking spots. In

1821
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 18: all seriousness, It's not like the incidents that we saw

1822
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 18: in recent seasons involving the gun episodes on social media. No,

1823
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,720
Speaker 18: I think this is pretty simple. He was showing a

1824
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 18: lot of poor attitude and the Grizzlies loss against the

1825
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 18: Lakers on Friday. You know, he didn't play well season

1826
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 18: low eight points three or fourteen from the field. He

1827
01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 18: made a lot of crypto comments post him when he

1828
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 18: was being asked about his struggles, and he kiss just

1829
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,639
Speaker 18: kept repeatedly saying you know, you know, asked the coaching

1830
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:28,479
Speaker 18: staff about this, so you know, I don't think it

1831
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,559
Speaker 18: sat well with them. And when you're looking at their

1832
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 18: you know, new head coach to Moss, he's Allo, He's

1833
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 18: a European coach. You know, he has a lot of

1834
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 18: years coaching Germany and France, and I think when you're

1835
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 18: looking at the cultural differences, you know they come from

1836
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:47,760
Speaker 18: the school of you know, they can be that you know, commanding,

1837
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:50,240
Speaker 18: do what I say type head coach, and that's much

1838
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:54,360
Speaker 18: different than the conventional NBA coach had always adheres to

1839
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 18: the superstar and they don't want to ruffle feathers. European

1840
01:37:57,640 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 18: coaches aren't afraid to call guys out, So you know,

1841
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 18: I know it's out there for ESPN that that there

1842
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 18: was uh, you know, some shooing out in the locker

1843
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 18: room in front of the team, and John Moran may

1844
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:11,639
Speaker 18: not have taken kinway to it, but look, when you're

1845
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 18: the leader of the franchise, you're making a lot of money.

1846
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 18: You got to perform, and so you know, you can

1847
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,679
Speaker 18: be frustrated about that, but use that frustration the right way.

1848
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 18: And clearly the Memphis Grizzy sent the message that are

1849
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 18: not going to tolerate that behavior.

1850
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 2: All the talent in the world. But I'll tell you

1851
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 2: what I don't. I don't know what this dude's problem is.

1852
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 2: Which said, what would you have say something else?

1853
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1854
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 18: I was just say and it's sad. Here's why his

1855
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 18: teammates love him. I've talked to him, you know, even

1856
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:43,760
Speaker 18: during it after the gun episode and recently they've always said, Hey,

1857
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,639
Speaker 18: he's matured. He's a great locker room guy. He's very positive.

1858
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:50,640
Speaker 18: We feed off his energy, love his work ethic. But

1859
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 18: when he has episodes like this, it underminds that cause

1860
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:57,639
Speaker 18: I think secondly, you know, Taylor Jenkins was fired last season,

1861
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,480
Speaker 18: and part of it was because I think there's frustration

1862
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 18: with the new offensive system where there weren't a lot

1863
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 18: of play calls for him, and it was a lot

1864
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:08,679
Speaker 18: of you know, fast paced that wasn't pick and rolls.

1865
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 9: You know.

1866
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 18: Uh, He's alloh, his whole coaching philosophy is more pick

1867
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:17,240
Speaker 18: and roll sets for John Moran to ron so that

1868
01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 18: that's all about play cain to him, but he also

1869
01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 18: wants John to actually try. So he's been frustrated with

1870
01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 18: season low minutes, but he's going to reward him if

1871
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 18: he actually gives effort.

1872
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 2: Mark, I got to run that last minute was going

1873
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:35,719

Speaker 2: hard to win back to back World Series? Now, money

1897
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:42,040

1913
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 2: couple of minutes here we're going to get to the

1914
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 2: Fantasy files. We're eight hours and now we're going to

1915
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 2: lose an hour here in a minute, we're spot By

1916
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 2: nine hours away from another fantastic NFL Sunday, We've got

1917
01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:39,880
Speaker 2: a great guest from Ohio State coming up at five

1918
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 2: am Eastern time. Again, you got to follow along because

1919
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 2: in thirty one minutes here on the left coast, two

1920
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 2: o'clock's going to become one o'clock and we still have

1921
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:53,760
Speaker 2: two more hours of the show after that. This slays me.

1922
01:41:54,280 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly, the erstwhile coach at LSU, who has had

1923
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 2: quite a career. Okay, it's given to give their manage due.

1924
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,679
Speaker 2: He's done some good things, but it bombed at LSU,

1925
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 2: bomb and paid him fifty three million bucks to go away,

1926
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, the starting with the fake Southern accent, all

1927
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,920
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. I mean, here's a guy from Worcester, Massachusetts.

1928
01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 2: It didn't fit in the South. He was not a fit.

1929
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 2: We're hearing now. I didn't even know all the players' names.

1930
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,640
Speaker 2: He becomes such an unpopular figure. I mean, we're now

1931
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 2: finding out that his issues went beyond football. But what's

1932
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 2: interesting is is that reportedly Brian Kelly worked with an

1933
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 2: image consultant. The guy allegedly worked you heard me with

1934
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 2: an image consultant. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to go

1935
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 2: and disagree with it. There, Bill Lumberg, I would just

1936
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:46,920
Speaker 2: say this like I wonder if he get money back

1937
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 2: with all due respect, or maybe the image consultant gave

1938
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 2: him good advice and he didn't folp. Who knows. But

1939
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:55,919
Speaker 2: of all the jobs that are opening right now, Florida

1940
01:42:56,320 --> 01:43:00,360
Speaker 2: Penn State, LSU is getting the run man terms of

1941
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 2: you should see the list of candidates to possibly replace

1942
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:06,200
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly. We'll go over that a little bit later

1943
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:10,439
Speaker 2: in the show. But get your pens and pencils ready.

1944
01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:13,040
Speaker 2: Time to drink through a fire. Host. Fantasy football is

1945
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 2: big in his country. My son's in first place in

1946
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 2: his league. So it's time for the Fantasy Files.

1947
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 4: Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch, your go to fantasy football segment.

1948
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 6: At one gone.

1949
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:34,439
Speaker 17: Welcome to Fantasy Files. I'm Brandon Deutsch, and here we are.

1950
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 17: We are going to win our matchups this weekend and

1951
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:42,920
Speaker 17: start Tetoa McMillan against the Green Bay Packers. He's a

1952
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 17: must start at this point. I really like what he's

1953
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 17: been doing. Believe, nine catches last week, ninety plus yards,

1954
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 17: two touchdowns. With Bryce Young a few weeks ago, he

1955
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:54,559
Speaker 17: is the top target in this offense. Now, Jalen Coker

1956
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 17: is going to get some targets. But remember Green Bay

1957
01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 17: can be exploited in their secondary. That's their big weakness.

1958
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,639
Speaker 17: Their defensive line is great, but you gotta think Green

1959
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 17: Bays can be ahead the entire game, which means who's

1960
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:07,959
Speaker 17: going to be passing the ball the entire game, Carolina,

1961
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 17: which means who's gonna get targets? Teteroa McMillan. I really

1962
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 17: like him in that matchup, and I actually speaking to

1963
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:17,760
Speaker 17: that matchup, would sit Matthew Golden. I just don't haven't

1964
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 17: seen enough. They have five different receivers that they utilize

1965
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 17: on a weekly basis. I just don't love that they're

1966
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:25,639
Speaker 17: not targeted in him, and at this point you can't

1967
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:28,439
Speaker 17: trust him. I faded him preseason. I made a lot

1968
01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:31,639
Speaker 17: of Fantasy football content about that, telling people Matthew Golden

1969
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:34,479
Speaker 17: was not a good draft pick in fantasy because simply

1970
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:36,479
Speaker 17: they have they utilize too many different guys. Now they

1971
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 17: have an elite tight end, right, so I don't think

1972
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:42,599
Speaker 17: that he's going to ball out at all this season. Next,

1973
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 17: I would star Kendrick Bourne against the New York Giants.

1974
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,680
Speaker 17: Kendrick Bourne has a great matchup. Ricky Piersoll still out,

1975
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:49,960
Speaker 17: rock Perty is still out. I like what he can

1976
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 17: do this week, and this will be his final big game,

1977
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 17: because remember he had those two big games and then

1978
01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 17: he hasn't done anything but Cardio the last few weeks.

1979
01:44:56,560 --> 01:45:00,439
Speaker 17: At Jones can really really take advantage of this bad secondary.

1980
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 17: The last two games they were playing good second theary.

1981
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:04,040
Speaker 17: That's why he didn't get the targets, That's why he

1982
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 17: didn't get the fantasy points.

1983
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:05,320
Speaker 9: Right.

1984
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:08,719
Speaker 17: Yes Kittle will be involved, Yes Christian McCaffrey will be involved,

1985
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:11,439
Speaker 17: but you have to think that Kendrick bourn is going

1986
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:14,080
Speaker 17: to have at least a ten target game and probably

1987
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 17: six or seven catches for one hundred plus yards. Make

1988
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 17: sure to start Kareem Hunt against Buffalo. This is the

1989
01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 17: best game of the weekend. Kareem Hunt is coming off

1990
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 17: of two touchdowns. He's had a bazillion touchdowns all year long,

1991
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 17: so you can rely on him. I Piccheco's banged up now,

1992
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:28,760
Speaker 17: Brichhard Smith. I'm not saying that he's not going to

1993
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 17: get some usage, and I'm not saying Kareem Hunt is

1994
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 17: going to just all of a sudden dominate this game.

1995
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:34,640
Speaker 17: But I would not be shocked if he gets two

1996
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:36,680
Speaker 17: or three touchdowns again in a game that I think

1997
01:45:36,760 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 17: is going to be high scoring. Make sure to sit

1998
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 17: what he marks against Denver Wood. He marks his only

1999
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 17: play for upside and for fantasy points in this game

2000
01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 17: is past catching. If they're down the entire game, which

2001
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 17: I actually do not think they will be. I think

2002
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 17: Houston's gonna play very well and this will be a

2003
01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 17: close game. They can't run the football on that Denver

2004
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 17: d line. But remember Hat Sertan is out, he's not playing,

2005
01:45:57,160 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 17: and that was the guy that was shadowing all of

2006
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 17: the receivers. So Nico Collins is probably due for a

2007
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,400
Speaker 17: big game in every all the pass catchers are due

2008
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:05,720
Speaker 17: for a big game, but the run game will be

2009
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 17: almost non existent, especially with that offensive line against the

2010
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 17: really elite defensive line. Make sure to start Khalil Shakir

2011
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 17: against Kansas City's coming off of a fifty five plus

2012
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 17: yard touchdown great game last week. I think he has

2013
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 17: another big game, and remember he's played well against Kansas

2014
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 17: City in the past, so I think this is an

2015
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 17: easy start. A sit Courtland Sun against Houston. So I

2016
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:26,599
Speaker 17: would sit Courtland Sun, and I would sit Troy Franklin

2017
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 17: against Houston. That might be unpopular because Troy Franklin's been

2018
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 17: awesome in the last few weeks and Courtland Sun is

2019
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:33,639
Speaker 17: a one, so it's hard to sit a wide receiver one.

2020
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:38,559
Speaker 17: But Houston's secondary is top five against the pass. They're insane.

2021
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 17: They have the healthiest defense of the elite ones right now.

2022
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,799
Speaker 17: Right Kansas City Buffalo has a pretty good pass defense,

2023
01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:48,759
Speaker 17: Denver Patzer Tangas got hurt, and it's Houston right Houston

2024
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:51,639
Speaker 17: is probably the toughest matchup right now for any opposing

2025
01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 17: wide receiver. So I would firmly confidently sit Courtland Sun,

2026
01:46:56,720 --> 01:46:59,280
Speaker 17: Troy Franklin, and Bone Nicks because I don't think they'll

2027
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:01,400
Speaker 17: be able to run the FOOTBA we forget Usays defensive

2028
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 17: line is great too, and they needed to win last week.

2029
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 17: I was not shocked they beat San Francisco. This is

2030
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 17: another desperate game for the Broncos, don't need to win.

2031
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:11,719
Speaker 17: Houston does make sure to start Marvin Harrison Junior against Dallas.

2032
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 17: Dallas's thirty first ranked pass defense. Obviously they're abysmal, right,

2033
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:18,560
Speaker 17: Marvin Harrison Junior should have another big game, regardless of

2034
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 17: who's playing quarterback. I mean, it doesn't really matter. With

2035
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 17: Jacoby Brissett. He's gotten targets, less targets than with Kyler Murray,

2036
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:28,040
Speaker 17: but he's still gotten targets. He should ball out against

2037
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:32,000
Speaker 17: Dallas regardless of who is playing quarterback. Josh Downs versus

2038
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 17: Pittsburgh is a must start Pittman two. I mean, these

2039
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 17: are must starts. Pittsburgh has the thirty second ranked pass

2040
01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 17: defense in the National Football League, behind Dallas. That's how

2041
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 17: bad they are. I mean, they're giving up thirty plus

2042
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 17: points every single week. We know that the Colts are

2043
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:48,919
Speaker 17: going to try to run, and if they can establish

2044
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:51,479
Speaker 17: even some form of run game, it'll open up the

2045
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:53,880
Speaker 17: passing game so much and they'll throw for Dane Jones

2046
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 17: with throw for like three hundred and fifty yards in

2047
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:57,879
Speaker 17: this game. Make sure to sit Trey Tucker against Jacksonville.

2048
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:00,320
Speaker 17: Jacksonville's defense is still very good even without Trap Hunter.

2049
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 17: Their secondary is pretty good, their d line's obviously good,

2050
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 17: and their linebackers are fantastic. So I have a really

2051
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 17: hard time believing that Trey Tucker will have those explosive

2052
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,560
Speaker 17: plays against Jacksonville, though I do think that they'll be

2053
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:14,280
Speaker 17: down in this game, so there is a possibility that

2054
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 17: he'll get targets in the second half once they're down.

2055
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:19,799
Speaker 17: Make sure to start Kamani Vidal against the Tennessee Titans.

2056
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 17: My favorite start of the week. This guy's going to

2057
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,960
Speaker 17: have two or three touchdowns. They'll be ahead the entire game.

2058
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:24,839
Speaker 17: Against Tennessee.

2059
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 2: I really like what he can do.

2060
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:28,000
Speaker 17: To make sure to sit Rico Dawdle against green Bay

2061
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 17: chewba Hubbard's back, taking away some snaps in green Bay's

2062
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,759
Speaker 17: run defense is incredible. And finally, start Chase Brown against

2063
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 17: the Chicago Bears. Elite matchup, Elite play. Chase Brown is

2064
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 17: going to dominate this week. Thank you for listening to

2065
01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 17: Fantasy Files. Let's all win our matchups in Week nine.

2066
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:43,760
Speaker 17: Back to the Bernie Fratto Show.

2067
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, of all the games mentioned, the Texans Broncos has

2068
01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:54,439
Speaker 2: as my attention more than any You've got two very

2069
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:58,439
Speaker 2: good defenses against two offenses that are up and coming,

2070
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:02,200
Speaker 2: are starting to come into their own. But the key

2071
01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:06,560
Speaker 2: that was mentioned here, and it's important, Patrick's Ertan is

2072
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:09,400
Speaker 2: out for Denver. He takes away half the field. Houston

2073
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 2: has a very heavy pass They have a pass heavy offense.

2074
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 2: Their fifteenth and passing player percentage in twelfth and passing

2075
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:19,679
Speaker 2: first down rate, and they get Nico Collins back because

2076
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 2: there's certain's injury. I have a feeling Houston is going

2077
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 2: to win this game. And the Texans have played much

2078
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:28,559
Speaker 2: better at home. They're two and one straight up against

2079
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 2: the number at NRG Stadium, and the Broncos just two

2080
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 2: and two on the road and then struggle actually against

2081
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:38,080
Speaker 2: much better defenses. They got healthy against Dallas, but you know,

2082
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 2: little sisters of the poor could move on that defense right.

2083
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:46,280
Speaker 2: The pass rest for the Broncos against Houston suspect offensive

2084
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 2: line is going to be interesting to watch here. But

2085
01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 2: I just get a feeling that Houston, Houston gets their

2086
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:56,720
Speaker 2: way on Sundays. That's a game I've I've really got

2087
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:01,479
Speaker 2: got my eye on. By the way, not for nothing,

2088
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:05,400
Speaker 2: this has come up more than once. I can't really

2089
01:50:05,479 --> 01:50:08,760
Speaker 2: say that Dodgers have bought the World Series. Yes, they

2090
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 2: got the highest payroll between you know, Otani, Betts and Yamamoto.

2091
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 2: But you know what's interesting is the five highest payrolls

2092
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 2: in the league. Two of those teams didn't make the playoffs.

2093
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 2: And the reason that's significant to me is because what

2094
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 2: that guarantees use in this man's Major League Baseball money

2095
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 2: can't buy a title, but at what it does. It

2096
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:34,559
Speaker 2: buys regular season success, which leads to more butts and seats,

2097
01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 2: which leads to increased revenues. That's a fact. Okay, So

2098
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,640
Speaker 2: the Dodgers drew for four million fans this year, but

2099
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 2: their payroll didn't guarantee them a title. Like the earlier

2100
01:50:43,200 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 2: callers said, I think it was Allen from Saint Louis.

2101
01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 2: It was there. It was their lesser paid players. Andy

2102
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 2: pie has coming up with a huge catch, Miguel Rojas

2103
01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:55,000
Speaker 2: injecting life into the team. Tommy Edmund right on down

2104
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 2: the line. Those role players filled their role. Well, the

2105
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 2: pottery has do three pointing three million fans. Why people

2106
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 2: come to see Machado and Tatis and Xander Bulgertz. And

2107
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:08,760
Speaker 2: by the way of all the things these top five

2108
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:11,559
Speaker 2: payrolls have in common, all five have at least two

2109
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 2: players with three hundred million dollar contracts. Remember the Mets,

2110
01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:19,120
Speaker 2: they got Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. They do three

2111
01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 2: point two million fans. Did you see them in the playoffs.

2112
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 2: The Phillies do three point two million fans. They got

2113
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:27,719
Speaker 2: Tredy Turner and Bryce Harper, the Yankees. How about those Yankees?

2114
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, Garrett cole Gen, Carlos Stanton. So it's a

2115
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,280
Speaker 2: little lazy, with all due respect, and I'm not defending

2116
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:40,760
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. I just I'm spewing facts. Money cannot buy

2117
01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:43,479
Speaker 2: you a World Series. It buys you regular seed and success,

2118
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:47,880
Speaker 2: with which more butts in the seats coming up. I

2119
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:51,479
Speaker 2: want to just revisit, ever so quickly, why it's so

2120
01:51:51,640 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 2: hard to win a World Series, why it's so hard

2121
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 2: to repeat in a World Series, and why Baseball, of

2122
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:01,680
Speaker 2: all the major leagues, of all the sports leagues, is

2123
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 2: the most difficult to repeat as champion. I'm Bernie Frattlew're

2124
01:52:06,120 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 2: comany a line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios.

2125
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 2: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

2126
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back at the Bernie

2127
01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 2: Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy live from the Las

2128
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:24,920
Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios, our annual five hour turn

2129
01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:28,120
Speaker 2: back the Clock Daylight Savings Extravaganza. You've already done it

2130
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:30,880
Speaker 2: back East, You've already done it in the Central time Zone,

2131
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 2: and fourteen minutes will be doing it here in the

2132
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:36,720
Speaker 2: Pacific time zone. In case you missed it, you've been

2133
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:41,400
Speaker 2: on Mars or maybe an elongated nap. Dodgers became the

2134
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:46,360
Speaker 2: first team twenty five years to repeat as World Series champions,

2135
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 2: and what could be argued based on the competitive nature,

2136
01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:52,760
Speaker 2: the drama, the historical perspective, one of the greatest World

2137
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 2: Series of all time? A bar Giamati said it best.

2138
01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:58,240
Speaker 2: The games designed to break your heart. And you know,

2139
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:01,040
Speaker 2: in Toronto there's a lot of broken hearts, and it

2140
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:04,080
Speaker 2: could have been here, very easily happened in Los Angeles.

2141
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 2: And as I've said a thousand times, sports are the

2142
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:11,599
Speaker 2: greatest reality show. You can script everything but the ending.

2143
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 2: So why is it so hard to win back to

2144
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:18,400
Speaker 2: back World Series? The belief of all the major American

2145
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 2: sports leagues, major League Baseball represents the toughest league in

2146
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 2: which to repeat is champion and there are lots of

2147
01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:27,840
Speaker 2: reasons for this. First of all, baseball is really not

2148
01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:32,519
Speaker 2: a game designed for a short playoff series. It's a marathon.

2149
01:53:32,600 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 2: It's a long way. You play one hundred and sixty

2150
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:37,880
Speaker 2: two games for a reason that allows for more randomness

2151
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 2: in the postseason, not just simply a fact you've had

2152
01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:43,759
Speaker 2: people that I did not see this or witnesses had colors.

2153
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 2: Tell me. Someone on ESPN said the best team didn't win. Okay,

2154
01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 2: the last repeat champion in two thousand. Since that happened

2155
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 2: with the Yankees, Major League Baseball has expanded the playoffs twice.

2156
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,800
Speaker 2: The latest change came, you know, in this ever of

2157
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:06,160
Speaker 2: playoff format see for Until nineteen sixty eight, Major League

2158
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,840
Speaker 2: Baseball playoffs consisted of the World Series. That was it.

2159
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:11,599
Speaker 2: You won the American League or you won the National League.

2160
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:13,559
Speaker 2: I think they were about twenty teams in league. Then

2161
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,320
Speaker 2: each of the league's winner would just faced the other.

2162
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:20,559
Speaker 2: That's it. Then in nineteen sixty nine Baseball Major League

2163
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:25,599
Speaker 2: Baseball added the American League Championship Series and the Nation

2164
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:29,599
Speaker 2: League Championship Series, which was essentially a four team playoff

2165
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 2: that lasted for twenty four years. And then nineteen ninety

2166
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 2: three things really changed. Nineteen ninety five, Major League Baseball

2167
01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:42,520
Speaker 2: added the wildcard team in each league, and in doing so,

2168
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:46,520
Speaker 2: they also realigned both leagues to include three divisions, which

2169
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:50,840
Speaker 2: resulted in eight playoff teams overall. Then Major League Baseball

2170
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:52,600
Speaker 2: added a new playoff team in each league with the

2171
01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:56,400
Speaker 2: introduction of the wildcard games in twenty twelve, before adding

2172
01:54:56,480 --> 01:55:00,160
Speaker 2: two more playoff teams and instituting what we I now

2173
01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 2: know as the wild Card Round in twenty twenty two.

2174
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,280
Speaker 2: Before that, you have to win one game. Now it's

2175
01:55:05,320 --> 01:55:08,720
Speaker 2: best to three, but the better team, that team with

2176
01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 2: the better regular season record, gets all three games at home.

2177
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:16,600
Speaker 2: So therefore, just on the merits to that alone, teams

2178
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:19,640
Speaker 2: simply have to beat more opponents to win the World

2179
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:24,560
Speaker 2: Series than before. Once again, baseball is a sport that's

2180
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 2: not designed for a short playoff series. This allows for

2181
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:31,520
Speaker 2: more randomness. You got to beat more teams, more randomness,

2182
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 2: more chances for backs to go cold, or you get

2183
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:38,120
Speaker 2: it now. Baseball is a streaky sport, which you also know,

2184
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:41,240
Speaker 2: which means teams can enter a cold stretch or at

2185
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:44,640
Speaker 2: the wrong time, have a strong regular season, get a

2186
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:47,040
Speaker 2: few days off, and all of a sudden where the

2187
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:52,040
Speaker 2: offense go. Baseball is a game predicated on failure. There's

2188
01:55:52,080 --> 01:55:56,120
Speaker 2: failure every fifteen seconds. Pitcher fails to throw a strike,

2189
01:55:56,560 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 2: hitter fails to make contact, fielder fails to make a

2190
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:01,960
Speaker 2: play a hit, or fails to reach base, and it

2191
01:56:02,040 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 2: repeats for three hours. How you respond from that? Determines

2192
01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 2: your success. Look how well the Blue Jays responded from

2193
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 2: that eighteen winning, gut wrenching loss, eighteen inning, gut wrenching

2194
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:18,680
Speaker 2: loss Monday Night, came back and won the next two. Well,

2195
01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 2: look how the Dodgers responded from that, having to go

2196
01:56:21,200 --> 01:56:24,040
Speaker 2: on the road and win two straight in a pretty

2197
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 2: tough environment. Now, look, it's difficult to rebeat in Major

2198
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:34,280
Speaker 2: League Baseball. Again, I think largely because of the randomness

2199
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 2: and the increased number of playoff rounds and the general

2200
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 2: unpredictability of not just the playoffs, which I've spent most

2201
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 2: of the time talking about, because the expanded postseason means

2202
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:47,920
Speaker 2: a team has to beat more opponents, which increases the

2203
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 2: chances of going in a cold streak at the wrong

2204
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:53,680
Speaker 2: time or a lesser opponent on a hot streak. A

2205
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:56,880
Speaker 2: baseball got a streaky nature in and of itself. When

2206
01:56:56,880 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 2: there's more, there's an incredibly high level of competition across

2207
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 2: the board major League Baseball, and that makes it harder

2208
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 2: for a single team to maintain peak performance for two

2209
01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 2: consecutive seasons. If you even get to the playoffs, you

2210
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 2: still got to navigate the unpredictability of a one hundred

2211
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:16,920
Speaker 2: and sixty two game season, the long season, This is

2212
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:20,960
Speaker 2: another part of it is a grind. It's a tremendous grind,

2213
01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 2: and it's difficult to maintain a consistently high level of

2214
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 2: performance for the regular season and hopefully you get into

2215
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:32,560
Speaker 2: the postseason. A team can have an incredible season but

2216
01:57:32,680 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 2: run into a hot team in the playoffs, or simply

2217
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:36,840
Speaker 2: have a slump at the wrong time. How many times

2218
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 2: have we seen teams are the best record in the

2219
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:42,440
Speaker 2: major leagues don't win the World Series? Happen again this year,

2220
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:45,880
Speaker 2: it happens almost every year team. By the way, teams

2221
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 2: that win over one hundred games almost never win the

2222
01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 2: World Series. And again you talk about the randomness and

2223
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 2: the grind of a regular season. All right, So I

2224
01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:56,960
Speaker 2: was in Los Angeles in May. My wife and I

2225
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,600
Speaker 2: went to a Dodger game. We saw the Arizona Diamondbacks

2226
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:04,000
Speaker 2: weep the Dodgers in May, and all we heard were panic, panic,

2227
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:06,680
Speaker 2: is a time for the Dodgers to panic. Then they're

2228
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 2: talking about there were ten games over five hundred. Then

2229
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:11,840
Speaker 2: you got to September, there were fifteen twenty games over

2230
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 2: five hundred. Panic, panic, panic, Well, that also adds to

2231
01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 2: the equation the pressure to repeat success. You have to

2232
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:25,600
Speaker 2: remember the quality of teams in Major League Baseball is

2233
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 2: higher than ever, especially with the increased parody ever since

2234
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 2: the had been a free agency. This means a team

2235
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 2: you have to overcome much more talented and well matched opponents,

2236
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 2: day in day out, over six months, an entire season.

2237
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, baseball is a game

2238
01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 2: that you play every day and fatigue sets in and

2239
01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 2: that creates a medical check that a mental and physical toll.

2240
01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 2: Really unlike any other sport. If you're going to repeat

2241
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:01,520
Speaker 2: as a champion, that all requires an exceptional amical Why

2242
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 2: can't I say the word mental? There's no such word

2243
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:07,240
Speaker 2: as menical. Put up with me. You have to have

2244
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 2: a through the roof level of mental and physical endurance

2245
01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:15,280
Speaker 2: to keep playing at a high level after the emotional

2246
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:17,680
Speaker 2: and physical demands of an entire season. And then you

2247
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:19,480
Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, and then you have an eighteen

2248
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 2: inning game that takes six hours and thirty nine minutes.

2249
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 2: You think you were getting fatigued sitting on the couch

2250
01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:29,640
Speaker 2: watching that game. How about the players? Freddie Freeman coming

2251
01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 2: up in the eighteenth inning to hit another walkoff, so

2252
01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 2: because of the randomness, the expanded playoffs along one hundred

2253
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 2: and sixty two game season, the fact that the level

2254
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 2: of competition, there's more parody than ever because of free agency,

2255
01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:46,920
Speaker 2: the mental and physical tool and the fact you have

2256
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 2: to navigate a long season and stay healthy only to

2257
01:59:51,760 --> 01:59:53,720
Speaker 2: get to a short season and a cold streak could

2258
01:59:53,800 --> 01:59:57,640
Speaker 2: end it. That's what makes baseball the toughest sport to repeat.

2259
01:59:58,080 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 2: But the Dodgers did it, Hats off, and what was

2260
02:00:01,480 --> 02:00:05,520
Speaker 2: an incredible and entertaining World Series of the likes. Well,

2261
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 2: hopefully we see one like that next year. Coming up,

2262
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:11,440
Speaker 2: let's talk about what happened in college football Saturday. This

2263
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:13,880
Speaker 2: is the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2264
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:17,760
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2265
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:20,600
Speaker 2: That's shrud. You heard the man. Bernie Fraddle Show keeps

2266
02:00:20,800 --> 02:00:23,160
Speaker 2: rolling right along. My name is Bernie fraddlew or Kenedy

2267
02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:27,400
Speaker 2: Lyon from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas.

2268
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Just like that, here on the left coast, the clocks

2269
02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:36,720
Speaker 2: went from two o'clock AM back to one o'clock. We

2270
02:00:36,840 --> 02:00:40,880
Speaker 2: are in the midst of our annual five hour extravagance,

2271
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:43,440
Speaker 2: a daylight saving show. By the way, an hour from now,

2272
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:49,680
Speaker 2: our Ohio State insider Don Gessick will join us from Columbus.

2273
02:00:51,040 --> 02:00:54,120
Speaker 2: Had him on before the season we followed, have him

2274
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:57,000
Speaker 2: back on after the Penn State game we saw what

2275
02:00:57,040 --> 02:00:59,320
Speaker 2: happened wasn't much of a game. Ohio State probably could

2276
02:00:59,320 --> 02:01:03,120
Speaker 2: have named their score. And that leads me to the

2277
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:06,440
Speaker 2: subject matter that we usually cover much earlier in the show.

2278
02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:09,760
Speaker 2: But with such an intense world series, such an historic

2279
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:13,960
Speaker 2: world series, in my view, we college football took a

2280
02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:16,919
Speaker 2: little bit of a backseat, but not too much because Tuesday,

2281
02:01:17,040 --> 02:01:20,440
Speaker 2: by the way, we'll see the first iteration of what

2282
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:23,240
Speaker 2: the twelve team playoff will look like this year. It

2283
02:01:23,360 --> 02:01:24,600
Speaker 2: is going to be changed. But what were some of

2284
02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:29,160
Speaker 2: the takeaways from Saturday's college football action. Let's start with

2285
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:34,560
Speaker 2: Nieland Stadium in Tennessee. Now back and forth. I remember

2286
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:36,920
Speaker 2: when I covered Michigan football the big House in ann Arbor.

2287
02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:39,440
Speaker 2: You know, they'd see one hundred and three thousand, and

2288
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:41,520
Speaker 2: Kneeland Stadium would add a few more and they'd go

2289
02:01:41,560 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 2: to one hundred and five. Then ann Arbery would go

2290
02:01:44,280 --> 02:01:46,040
Speaker 2: to one oh seven, and I think right now I

2291
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:48,800
Speaker 2: Narburg's like one ten, one eleven. Kneeland might be one

2292
02:01:48,920 --> 02:01:51,680
Speaker 2: twelve when they sell out one hundred and twelve thousand,

2293
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,160
Speaker 2: one of the toughest places to play in college football.

2294
02:01:55,320 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 2: But they see defense travels, and apparently the Oklahoma defense travels,

2295
02:02:01,640 --> 02:02:06,960
Speaker 2: and these Sooners, as evidenced by their game against Michigan,

2296
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:11,839
Speaker 2: have a very ferocious front seven, and they sacked Tennessee

2297
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 2: quarterback Joey Aguilar four times, eight tackles for loss, and

2298
02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:21,640
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Oklahoma, I don't know. I can't

2299
02:02:21,720 --> 02:02:23,480
Speaker 2: say that I'm predicting they're going to win it all,

2300
02:02:23,520 --> 02:02:26,320
Speaker 2: but on any given day, they're going to be a

2301
02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:30,600
Speaker 2: problem for people. They picked off Joey Aguilar three times,

2302
02:02:31,400 --> 02:02:35,640
Speaker 2: and he clearly was spooked by Tennessee's pass rush. And

2303
02:02:36,400 --> 02:02:38,760
Speaker 2: this is the guy who's had real successful he's had time. Well,

2304
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:44,040
Speaker 2: he didn't have time against Oklahoma. And the Oklahoma Sooners

2305
02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:48,120
Speaker 2: get it by next week and they'll lick their wounds

2306
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:50,600
Speaker 2: if they have any. In week twelve, they have a

2307
02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:55,920
Speaker 2: massive blockbuster matchup at Alabama and we'll see how that

2308
02:02:56,040 --> 02:03:00,360
Speaker 2: defensive front does against Ty Simpson and the Crimson tied

2309
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:03,720
Speaker 2: with that passing attack. But for now, Oklahoma looks to

2310
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:06,240
Speaker 2: me like to be the very real deal, but not undefeated.

2311
02:03:06,320 --> 02:03:08,960
Speaker 2: But by the way, it's so brutal in the in

2312
02:03:09,080 --> 02:03:11,720
Speaker 2: the in the SEC we're gonna we're gonna get to

2313
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:14,960
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly and the candidates maybe to replace him. And

2314
02:03:15,080 --> 02:03:17,640
Speaker 2: again half these candidates aren't even interested. But these are

2315
02:03:17,720 --> 02:03:20,280
Speaker 2: the people that are listed for the fodder.

2316
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 18: Uh.

2317
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:27,120
Speaker 2: Hugh Freeze in his chance for redemption at Auburn isn't

2318
02:03:27,160 --> 02:03:32,000
Speaker 2: working out so well. Uh. They dropped to one in

2319
02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:37,200
Speaker 2: five in SEC play and they lose to Kentucky. And

2320
02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:41,760
Speaker 2: you might, I think you might, You don't. You never called.

2321
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:43,880
Speaker 2: I don't. I've never called for anybody's job on the

2322
02:03:43,960 --> 02:03:45,880
Speaker 2: radio or no if I had ever predicted. But it

2323
02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 2: didn't look good for U Freeze. It just doesn't. The

2324
02:03:48,240 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 2: offense is non existent. And this has been a common

2325
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:55,240
Speaker 2: theme all season at Auburn, even though ironically Hugh Freeze

2326
02:03:55,280 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 2: is he has consistently been considered an offensive You know,

2327
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna use the word guru, but certainly, you know,

2328
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:09,120
Speaker 2: his offensive prowess has been his stock in trade in

2329
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:12,400
Speaker 2: all those years of coaching. He's got five star receivers

2330
02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:17,000
Speaker 2: and he's got you know, a quarterback that should have

2331
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:19,440
Speaker 2: been good, but the truth of the matter is they

2332
02:04:19,440 --> 02:04:22,880
Speaker 2: haven't performed. And you know, the good news is Freeze

2333
02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:26,880
Speaker 2: His buiout is very modest by today's standards. We've already

2334
02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 2: talked about one hundred and sixty nine million dollars of

2335
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:34,440
Speaker 2: buyout so far. And look, Auburn fired Gus Melzan a

2336
02:04:34,480 --> 02:04:36,200
Speaker 2: couple years ago. They're not afraid to pull the trigger.

2337
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 2: So it's I don't know. Last Saturday, at this time,

2338
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:42,160
Speaker 2: I got a text that they were looking into Brian

2339
02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:45,960
Speaker 2: Kelly's buyout at LSU that I predicted to be fired

2340
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:48,320
Speaker 2: the next day. No, I didn't, but he was. So

2341
02:04:48,480 --> 02:04:50,600
Speaker 2: this is we are in different times. And I laid

2342
02:04:50,600 --> 02:04:55,120
Speaker 2: out why. Okay, it all started with the transfer portal,

2343
02:04:55,960 --> 02:04:58,440
Speaker 2: add the nil to that, and now you've got effectively

2344
02:04:58,520 --> 02:05:01,720
Speaker 2: free agency in college sports. So the collectives and the

2345
02:05:01,840 --> 02:05:05,040
Speaker 2: donors pulling up the money and as they do, and

2346
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 2: we're talking we're not talking chump chains, We're talking millions

2347
02:05:07,720 --> 02:05:12,200
Speaker 2: of dollars. And so therefore they their belief is we're

2348
02:05:12,240 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 2: de facto owners now and we have say we will

2349
02:05:16,360 --> 02:05:18,640
Speaker 2: give you thirty two million dollars to stack your roster.

2350
02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 2: But oh, by the way, we don't want that coach here,

2351
02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:27,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna fire. So moving on ls or USC and

2352
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Lincoln O'Reilly had an interesting test in Nebraska. Yeah, the

2353
02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:33,040
Speaker 2: were six point favorites. For the narrative was you can't

2354
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:35,360
Speaker 2: lose the Nebraska and your fourth year if you are

2355
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:41,640
Speaker 2: Lincoln O'Reilly at USC. And a common theme since USC

2356
02:05:41,800 --> 02:05:44,040
Speaker 2: made the move to the Big Ten was that quote

2357
02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 2: the Trojans were simply not physical enough to compete in

2358
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:50,080
Speaker 2: the conference, especially if they had to travel east in

2359
02:05:50,120 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 2: the month of November. Well, I would say that Lincoln

2360
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:55,480
Speaker 2: Riley's team actually and we don't know how far this is,

2361
02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:58,320
Speaker 2: how long this goes, and how far this goes, but

2362
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:01,400
Speaker 2: I would say they're flipping that narrator. They pushed Michigan

2363
02:06:01,440 --> 02:06:04,000
Speaker 2: around two or three weeks ago and they grinded out

2364
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,160
Speaker 2: a twenty one to seventeen road win in Nebraska. Why

2365
02:06:07,280 --> 02:06:10,000
Speaker 2: because they ran the ball and that's what Big Ten

2366
02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 2: football is, basically running the ball. Not not like it

2367
02:06:12,920 --> 02:06:15,440
Speaker 2: used to be, but let's face it, it's a staple

2368
02:06:15,560 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 2: of their offenses. And if you remove the sacks taken

2369
02:06:18,400 --> 02:06:21,680
Speaker 2: by Jade Mayava, that's cea average over six yards per

2370
02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:24,320
Speaker 2: carry on the ground. They ran for two hundred and

2371
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:26,840
Speaker 2: two yards on the ground with two scores. Don't look now,

2372
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:30,800
Speaker 2: let's see, looks like a Big Ten team. Maybe now.

2373
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:35,240
Speaker 2: Their passing attack USS has been one of the best

2374
02:06:35,280 --> 02:06:36,560
Speaker 2: in the country, even though they don't want a hell

2375
02:06:36,600 --> 02:06:38,680
Speaker 2: of a lot of games or beat ranked opponents, although

2376
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:42,520
Speaker 2: that's starting to change. But Mayava completed only nine passes

2377
02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:45,680
Speaker 2: against Nebraska. In almost every previous Big Ten game, that

2378
02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:48,960
Speaker 2: would have been curtains for USC, but that wasn't the

2379
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:53,160
Speaker 2: case Saturday, Big takeaway. The Trojans ran the ball, only

2380
02:06:53,200 --> 02:06:56,040
Speaker 2: completed nine passes but one on the road, and that

2381
02:06:56,240 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 2: victory actually keeps the Trojans alive in the playoff race

2382
02:07:00,600 --> 02:07:03,200
Speaker 2: and they got some big games coming up in November

2383
02:07:03,240 --> 02:07:06,680
Speaker 2: to prove their metal. You know what's interesting is Matt Ruhle,

2384
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:10,120
Speaker 2: who was mentioned as part of the you know, one

2385
02:07:10,120 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 2: of the candidates to take over for James Franklin at

2386
02:07:13,920 --> 02:07:19,280
Speaker 2: Penn State. He played linebacker there and he's a favorite

2387
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:19,680
Speaker 2: son there.

2388
02:07:19,720 --> 02:07:20,040
Speaker 7: I get it.

2389
02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 2: Matt Reel's a good coach. He just got a new

2390
02:07:22,600 --> 02:07:24,960
Speaker 2: contract this week. They said, now I don't don't go anywhere, Well,

2391
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:28,600
Speaker 2: we'll give you a new contract next week with a

2392
02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:33,040
Speaker 2: seventy one million dollar buyout. Now, what was James Franklin's

2393
02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:37,640
Speaker 2: achilles heel couldn't beat ranked teams? What if I told you,

2394
02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:40,520
Speaker 2: with all the respect Matt Rule, he's two and twenty

2395
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:42,840
Speaker 2: four versus top twenty five teams in his career, oh

2396
02:07:42,960 --> 02:07:47,240
Speaker 2: to eight. When Nebraska, now you might get you might

2397
02:07:47,280 --> 02:07:51,120
Speaker 2: give them a hall past Saturday because his quarterback Dylan

2398
02:07:51,200 --> 02:07:53,600
Speaker 2: Riola was injured. He left in the third quarter. He

2399
02:07:53,680 --> 02:07:56,960
Speaker 2: injured his leg, didn't return. The corn Huskers went completely

2400
02:07:57,040 --> 02:08:00,280
Speaker 2: staggering after that, and USC outscored by two over in

2401
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:03,600
Speaker 2: the second half and won the game. Nebraska had controlled

2402
02:08:03,600 --> 02:08:05,280
Speaker 2: the game, they led fourteen to six for most of

2403
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:10,480
Speaker 2: the game. But even in spite of that, two and

2404
02:08:10,640 --> 02:08:14,320
Speaker 2: twenty four against top twenty five ranked teams. We'll see

2405
02:08:14,320 --> 02:08:19,720
Speaker 2: how the SEC bandwagon keeps going. Now, how about the

2406
02:08:19,840 --> 02:08:22,280
Speaker 2: antithesis of that and the guy who just finds ways

2407
02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:25,720
Speaker 2: to win? He said at many times, Kirby Smart, you're

2408
02:08:25,720 --> 02:08:27,880
Speaker 2: gonna have to get us down and kill us. There

2409
02:08:27,920 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 2: may be some truth to that. This is a program

2410
02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:35,880
Speaker 2: you could trust, is it? But the truth of the

2411
02:08:35,960 --> 02:08:40,720
Speaker 2: matter is are we overrating Georgia? Okay, another late comeback

2412
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:43,240
Speaker 2: over a three and five of three and five Florida

2413
02:08:43,280 --> 02:08:46,560
Speaker 2: team that just fired as coach. It's clear that Georgia

2414
02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:48,960
Speaker 2: is a good team, but I don't think a great team,

2415
02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:53,160
Speaker 2: certainly not an elite team the kind that Kirby Smart

2416
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:55,880
Speaker 2: used to have on every layer. Well, guess what the

2417
02:08:56,120 --> 02:08:59,720
Speaker 2: ni L and Transfer portal, let's change that it's created.

2418
02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:04,040
Speaker 2: They can't stockpile like they used to. Really, what's interesting

2419
02:09:04,200 --> 02:09:06,400
Speaker 2: is the Gators are going nowhere this year and I

2420
02:09:06,480 --> 02:09:11,879
Speaker 2: realized it's a classic SEC matchup and it's the world's

2421
02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:15,320
Speaker 2: largest cocktail party, one of the most noteworthy college football

2422
02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:19,000
Speaker 2: games on the schedule every year. But Florida and Georgia

2423
02:09:19,080 --> 02:09:21,440
Speaker 2: looked incredibly even through the vast majority of the game,

2424
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:24,560
Speaker 2: and Georgia needed some magic in the final quarter to

2425
02:09:24,720 --> 02:09:26,960
Speaker 2: turn a loss into a victory and still remain in

2426
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:30,000
Speaker 2: the race for the conference title games. If you're scoring

2427
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:33,640
Speaker 2: at home, that's now three SEC games that Georgia needed

2428
02:09:34,040 --> 02:09:38,080
Speaker 2: late history onics and dramatics to win. After previously needing

2429
02:09:38,080 --> 02:09:40,839
Speaker 2: a touchdown in the last three minutes to force overtime

2430
02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 2: at Tennessee and a seventeen oh runn of the fourth

2431
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:47,960
Speaker 2: quarter to beat Old Miss. Now give the Bulldogs credit.

2432
02:09:48,080 --> 02:09:51,920
Speaker 2: They find ways to win. They're resilient. But at a

2433
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:54,760
Speaker 2: certain point you have to question whether or not this

2434
02:09:54,960 --> 02:09:58,200
Speaker 2: is sustainable because this is not a team like in

2435
02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:00,160
Speaker 2: past teams that has he in a build the has

2436
02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:04,920
Speaker 2: the ability to separate from their opponents. Part of the

2437
02:10:04,960 --> 02:10:07,320
Speaker 2: reason is it comes down to a defensive line that

2438
02:10:07,480 --> 02:10:12,360
Speaker 2: gets no pressure on the quarterback. Boy, what a change Georgia.

2439
02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:14,560
Speaker 2: You wouldn't recognize them. They make one hundred and twenty

2440
02:10:14,640 --> 02:10:18,720
Speaker 2: seventh nationally in sacks and one hundred and thirty third

2441
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:22,200
Speaker 2: out of one hundred and thirty six FBS programs and

2442
02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:26,840
Speaker 2: tackles for loss. That seems impossible when you consider the

2443
02:10:27,120 --> 02:10:31,240
Speaker 2: history of defensive line freaks that Kirby Smart seems to

2444
02:10:31,400 --> 02:10:34,760
Speaker 2: always send to the NFL. But those numbers don't lie,

2445
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:39,280
Speaker 2: and eventually that may be Georgia's undoing. Now, Texas, A

2446
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:41,760
Speaker 2: and M in Alabama they are the class of the

2447
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:45,760
Speaker 2: conference at this point. Georgia and Old Miss just right

2448
02:10:45,840 --> 02:10:49,320
Speaker 2: below them. All four, though, could make the college football

2449
02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:54,160
Speaker 2: playoff field if everything breaks right. However, what's Georgia gonna

2450
02:10:54,160 --> 02:10:57,200
Speaker 2: do when they get to the playoffs? If they dance

2451
02:10:57,240 --> 02:10:59,040
Speaker 2: around and play with their food like they have been,

2452
02:10:59,440 --> 02:11:02,000
Speaker 2: they may not long for the playoffs when they get

2453
02:11:02,080 --> 02:11:05,360
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. If you've followed all that, how about

2454
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:07,760
Speaker 2: the ACC? I mean again, this is a weird year.

2455
02:11:07,880 --> 02:11:12,280
Speaker 2: Clempson loses again Saturday, where they three and six. Now

2456
02:11:13,200 --> 02:11:15,680
Speaker 2: at the end of November there will be two teams

2457
02:11:15,720 --> 02:11:18,560
Speaker 2: headed to play in the ACC title game. If you

2458
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:21,600
Speaker 2: can tell me that you're smarter than I am, I

2459
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:24,560
Speaker 2: get it, Big ten. You got Indiana, Ohio State the SEC.

2460
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:27,160
Speaker 2: You got Texas A and M in Alabama. Who the

2461
02:11:27,160 --> 02:11:31,360
Speaker 2: hell is it in the ACC? Somehow? Georgia Tech's a

2462
02:11:31,480 --> 02:11:34,720
Speaker 2: very good football team, very good and what's been there not?

2463
02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 2: You know? Haines King the stud running back, great coach.

2464
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:41,600
Speaker 2: Then they lose to NC State on Saturday, their first

2465
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 2: conference loss. Guess who now stands as the only unbeaten

2466
02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:49,000
Speaker 2: team in league play, even though they also lost to

2467
02:11:49,120 --> 02:11:52,960
Speaker 2: n C State. It's Virginia and Virginia struggled I think

2468
02:11:53,040 --> 02:11:56,040
Speaker 2: against Cal Saturday. Cal's not a bad looking club. The

2469
02:11:56,080 --> 02:11:58,760
Speaker 2: a SEC is better than people think. But who is

2470
02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:04,040
Speaker 2: going to be in that ACC championship game. Georgia Tech

2471
02:12:04,320 --> 02:12:07,320
Speaker 2: sits tied for second with one loss, but there are

2472
02:12:07,440 --> 02:12:11,480
Speaker 2: four other teams. Miami, which looked like at least three

2473
02:12:11,520 --> 02:12:14,720
Speaker 2: weeks ago, the most talented team in the league, is

2474
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:19,760
Speaker 2: beginning their annual November crash out. I saw stat Saturday

2475
02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:27,360
Speaker 2: that Mario Christobal is what four and ten in November

2476
02:12:27,400 --> 02:12:28,960
Speaker 2: in the last two years, four to ten in November

2477
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:31,520
Speaker 2: December in the last two years. A lot of chaos

2478
02:12:31,720 --> 02:12:35,000
Speaker 2: in the AEC. And don't look now, remember all your

2479
02:12:35,040 --> 02:12:39,320
Speaker 2: knuckleheads were making fun of Texas and arch Manning a

2480
02:12:39,400 --> 02:12:41,560
Speaker 2: month and a half ago because he wasn't throwing for

2481
02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:43,920
Speaker 2: eight touchdowns a game. And I get it, I'm not

2482
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:47,280
Speaker 2: an idiot. He didn't look good. Something was off. He

2483
02:12:47,320 --> 02:12:49,680
Speaker 2: should have hit his cutoff. Man he's doing balls and bolency.

2484
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:52,360
Speaker 2: He did not look good. I contend he had some

2485
02:12:52,480 --> 02:12:55,280
Speaker 2: sort of physical malady which they weren't reporting or whatever.

2486
02:12:55,760 --> 02:12:58,120
Speaker 2: I don't have any proof, but something didn't look right

2487
02:12:58,240 --> 02:13:00,960
Speaker 2: and he was not living up anywhere to the billing

2488
02:13:01,080 --> 02:13:03,760
Speaker 2: of all world won and done NFL.

2489
02:13:03,960 --> 02:13:04,240
Speaker 6: I'm out.

2490
02:13:04,240 --> 02:13:08,040
Speaker 2: What was his third year Heisman Trophy? Okay, he didn't

2491
02:13:08,080 --> 02:13:10,560
Speaker 2: ask for any of that, but I'll say right now,

2492
02:13:11,520 --> 02:13:14,200
Speaker 2: if you're a Texas fan, it's been like Sybil up

2493
02:13:14,240 --> 02:13:17,720
Speaker 2: and down the last ten year or the last few weeks.

2494
02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:21,760
Speaker 2: But once again, Texas supplied one of the more dramatic

2495
02:13:21,840 --> 02:13:25,840
Speaker 2: finishes of the week. They had Vanderbilt down and they

2496
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:29,800
Speaker 2: were trying to step on their neck. Vanderbilt comes back

2497
02:13:29,880 --> 02:13:33,160
Speaker 2: with a furious twenty one point rilly of their own

2498
02:13:33,280 --> 02:13:38,000
Speaker 2: to keep their playoff hopes alive Texas. Texas escapes Vanderbilt

2499
02:13:38,040 --> 02:13:41,240
Speaker 2: with a three point victory at home, and that comes

2500
02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:45,160
Speaker 2: on the heels of back to back overtime victories against

2501
02:13:45,200 --> 02:13:49,960
Speaker 2: Kentucky and Mississippi State. The good news, arch Manning looked solid,

2502
02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:53,040
Speaker 2: very good throughout the entire game, three hundred and twenty

2503
02:13:53,040 --> 02:13:55,800
Speaker 2: eight yards passing three touchdowns. Remember it's only his first

2504
02:13:55,880 --> 02:13:58,960
Speaker 2: year starting. He had only eight incompletions on the day.

2505
02:13:59,040 --> 02:14:02,560
Speaker 2: The offense looked yes it has all season versus someone

2506
02:14:02,680 --> 02:14:06,560
Speaker 2: in a power conference game. Now maybe for the first

2507
02:14:06,600 --> 02:14:10,320
Speaker 2: time this season, Manning finally got some good protection from

2508
02:14:10,360 --> 02:14:13,600
Speaker 2: his offensive lineup front. Vanderbilt didn't get a singales sack.

2509
02:14:14,880 --> 02:14:18,400
Speaker 2: But I'm not implying that. Okay, See, I told you

2510
02:14:18,440 --> 02:14:19,800
Speaker 2: he was a number one pick. Never said that, and

2511
02:14:19,800 --> 02:14:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it now. But it's a long way

2512
02:14:23,080 --> 02:14:25,760
Speaker 2: He's come a long way from he's only getting attention

2513
02:14:25,960 --> 02:14:29,960
Speaker 2: because of his last name. All right, But it's a

2514
02:14:30,040 --> 02:14:33,800
Speaker 2: four quarter game. It's always a big butt beewee, it's

2515
02:14:33,840 --> 02:14:37,440
Speaker 2: a fourth quarter. It's a four quarter game. Vanderbilt out

2516
02:14:37,600 --> 02:14:42,840
Speaker 2: gained Texas two hundred and thirty eight to forty over

2517
02:14:42,880 --> 02:14:47,480
Speaker 2: the final fifteen minutes on eleven yards per play. Texas

2518
02:14:47,520 --> 02:14:51,240
Speaker 2: has a good defense. What happened now? They always say

2519
02:14:51,960 --> 02:14:55,600
Speaker 2: they always remember what you did in November. Well, when

2520
02:14:55,640 --> 02:14:59,080
Speaker 2: they write the history books, you'll have to remember at

2521
02:14:59,120 --> 02:15:03,360
Speaker 2: Texas won the game, but they didn't finish great. They

2522
02:15:03,480 --> 02:15:08,120
Speaker 2: hung on. That's gonna have to be addressed again. Texas

2523
02:15:08,200 --> 02:15:10,400
Speaker 2: has a bye this week before coming up with a

2524
02:15:10,480 --> 02:15:16,240
Speaker 2: three game stretch at Georgia, Arkansas not so much but

2525
02:15:16,440 --> 02:15:22,040
Speaker 2: still still the SEC, and then Texas A and M.

2526
02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:29,040
Speaker 2: Those games I will assume. We can't assume anything, but

2527
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:33,960
Speaker 2: for purposes of this radio show, we'll assume that Texas

2528
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:36,880
Speaker 2: handles Arkansas, but they got to go to Georgia and

2529
02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:39,640
Speaker 2: then they play Texas A and M. Those two games

2530
02:15:39,680 --> 02:15:45,200
Speaker 2: will determine whether or not Texas returns to the College

2531
02:15:45,240 --> 02:15:48,880
Speaker 2: Football Playoff this year. Coming up, we're gonna tell you

2532
02:15:48,920 --> 02:15:54,680
Speaker 2: what happened in Miami, predictable Ohio State? And how about

2533
02:15:54,760 --> 02:15:57,560
Speaker 2: that kid Fernando, And I don't know what's going on

2534
02:15:57,680 --> 02:16:01,040
Speaker 2: in Clemson, but it ain't good. These are all stories

2535
02:16:01,320 --> 02:16:02,280
Speaker 2: you can't ignore.

2536
02:16:02,560 --> 02:16:03,520
Speaker 7: And what was it?

2537
02:16:03,960 --> 02:16:11,600
Speaker 2: Interesting? College football Saturday? Not particularly a noteworthy college football Saturday,

2538

2559
02:17:12,840 --> 02:17:16,800
Speaker 2: am Eastern. All Right, what happened to the Miami Hurricanes?

2560
02:17:16,840 --> 02:17:20,400
Speaker 2: It looks so good, but the annual Miami crashout is here?

2561
02:17:22,200 --> 02:17:25,520
Speaker 2: You know, it seems like, you know, the fall rolls around,

2562
02:17:25,560 --> 02:17:28,160
Speaker 2: the leaves change colors, you turn the clocks back, daylight

2563
02:17:28,280 --> 02:17:31,480
Speaker 2: saving time, you get Halloween, you get Thanksgiving, and then

2564
02:17:31,560 --> 02:17:37,680
Speaker 2: you got Miami losing as a large favorite down the stretch. Inevitably,

2565
02:17:38,040 --> 02:17:41,440
Speaker 2: they do it every year. Sometimes it takes longer till

2566
02:17:41,480 --> 02:17:44,680
Speaker 2: late November. But the Hurricanes said, why wait around this year?

2567
02:17:45,440 --> 02:17:48,920
Speaker 2: You lose as a twelve point road favorite at SMU,

2568
02:17:49,879 --> 02:17:51,720
Speaker 2: the first time SMU is at a home win over

2569
02:17:51,760 --> 02:17:55,200
Speaker 2: a top ten team in fifty one years. Now, I'm

2570
02:17:55,200 --> 02:17:59,480
Speaker 2: picking on the Hurricanes. I'm just dating facts. I honestly

2571
02:17:59,560 --> 02:18:01,520
Speaker 2: thought this team was very much on the short list

2572
02:18:01,879 --> 02:18:05,400
Speaker 2: to get to the not to just get to the playoffs, well,

2573
02:18:05,400 --> 02:18:07,520
Speaker 2: maybe get to the final four of the championship game.

2574
02:18:08,280 --> 02:18:12,440
Speaker 2: Now explain this one to me. Okay. By the way,

2575
02:18:12,480 --> 02:18:14,960
Speaker 2: it's the second setback of the season for Miami, and

2576
02:18:15,120 --> 02:18:17,520
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you this one really hurt their playoff chances.

2577
02:18:18,360 --> 02:18:22,200
Speaker 2: The Hurricanes are now an incredulous four and twelve once

2578
02:18:22,280 --> 02:18:26,400
Speaker 2: the calendar hits November. During Mario Christoval's tenure, Miami's had

2579
02:18:26,560 --> 02:18:29,840
Speaker 2: great early season results the past few seasons. They show

2580
02:18:29,879 --> 02:18:31,920
Speaker 2: a playoff caliber team that should be able to compete

2581
02:18:31,920 --> 02:18:35,000
Speaker 2: with anybody in the country. They got Carson Beck transferring

2582
02:18:35,080 --> 02:18:38,240
Speaker 2: over from Georgia. They got athletes on both sides of

2583
02:18:38,280 --> 02:18:42,080
Speaker 2: the ball, but they had a bit of an October

2584
02:18:42,200 --> 02:18:47,560
Speaker 2: swoon and they just simply, for whatever reason, Miami consistently

2585
02:18:47,720 --> 02:18:51,760
Speaker 2: underperforms this crunch time rolls its head rears its head.

2586
02:18:52,400 --> 02:18:54,560
Speaker 2: Last year it was a leaky defense they let down

2587
02:18:54,680 --> 02:18:57,400
Speaker 2: cam Ward. They had the nation's top offense. This time

2588
02:18:57,480 --> 02:19:02,840
Speaker 2: it's Carson Beck's interceptions. He has thrown six interceptions and

2589
02:19:02,840 --> 02:19:07,240
Speaker 2: they're two losses this season. So I don't know where

2590
02:19:07,280 --> 02:19:10,000
Speaker 2: the projections will be Tuesday. Maybe we can take a

2591
02:19:10,080 --> 02:19:14,840
Speaker 2: look at that in a minute here When the first

2592
02:19:15,120 --> 02:19:19,560
Speaker 2: pass Tuesday twelve team playoff is November fourth, As to

2593
02:19:19,680 --> 02:19:23,080
Speaker 2: what theoretically it'll look like when the playoffs actually start

2594
02:19:23,080 --> 02:19:25,360
Speaker 2: in late December. But the truth of the matter is

2595
02:19:25,879 --> 02:19:28,800
Speaker 2: we all know that the you know, it never looks

2596
02:19:28,840 --> 02:19:33,400
Speaker 2: like that when it starts anyway, right, everything changes by

2597
02:19:33,440 --> 02:19:38,160
Speaker 2: the way, Ohio State is We're going to have Ohio

2598
02:19:38,240 --> 02:19:43,080
Speaker 2: State guy on here top of the next hour. I

2599
02:19:43,240 --> 02:19:46,400
Speaker 2: really liked Julian saying, and I didn't know this until

2600
02:19:46,400 --> 02:19:48,320
Speaker 2: a few days ago. They actually started his career at

2601
02:19:48,320 --> 02:19:51,200
Speaker 2: Alabama and Nick Saban had him on the scout team

2602
02:19:51,240 --> 02:19:53,520
Speaker 2: and end of transferred to Ohio State. He is the goods.

2603
02:19:54,600 --> 02:19:58,040
Speaker 2: And when you have wide receivers like Jeremiah Smith, who

2604
02:19:58,080 --> 02:20:01,840
Speaker 2: I think should be mentioned in high trophy, I'll ask

2605
02:20:01,959 --> 02:20:04,520
Speaker 2: Don about that coming up. You had Jeremiah Smith and

2606
02:20:04,560 --> 02:20:08,120
Speaker 2: Carlel Tate as their top wide receivers. Ohio State just

2607
02:20:08,160 --> 02:20:10,720
Speaker 2: blows people out for fun. They haven't lost the game

2608
02:20:10,760 --> 02:20:12,480
Speaker 2: since they lost the Michigan last year. They won twelve

2609
02:20:12,520 --> 02:20:17,000
Speaker 2: in a row, and they're killing everybody all right, Julian

2610
02:20:17,120 --> 02:20:19,920
Speaker 2: saying what he is doing in his first season as

2611
02:20:19,959 --> 02:20:25,080
Speaker 2: the starting quarterback is remarkable. Absolutely torched penm State on

2612
02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:28,880
Speaker 2: Saturday through for three hundred and sixteen yards, four touchdowns

2613
02:20:29,360 --> 02:20:32,879
Speaker 2: twenty of twenty three, and let's face it, he had

2614
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:37,840
Speaker 2: more touchdowns and incomplete passes four touchdowns, three incomplete passes.

2615
02:20:38,360 --> 02:20:40,200
Speaker 2: You knew that Smith and Tate would be the top

2616
02:20:40,280 --> 02:20:43,840
Speaker 2: receiver due in the nation, but Julian saying was a

2617
02:20:43,920 --> 02:20:45,800
Speaker 2: bit of a question mark because the first time snarata

2618
02:20:45,920 --> 02:20:49,000
Speaker 2: only because you just don't know, you hadn't seen them.

2619
02:20:49,200 --> 02:20:51,720
Speaker 2: You heard great things. He had to win the job.

2620
02:20:52,120 --> 02:20:55,680
Speaker 2: He won the job. What you didn't know might there

2621
02:20:55,760 --> 02:20:59,920
Speaker 2: be growing pains. You step right out of basically high school,

2622
02:21:00,160 --> 02:21:07,360
Speaker 2: go to you know, go to the horseshoe, defending national championships. Man,

2623
02:21:09,560 --> 02:21:11,760
Speaker 2: He's had three games where we've completed eighty five percent

2624
02:21:11,840 --> 02:21:15,640
Speaker 2: of his past is that's the most in FBS this year.

2625
02:21:16,280 --> 02:21:18,640
Speaker 2: And I haven't seen the growing page. Not only is

2626
02:21:18,680 --> 02:21:21,640
Speaker 2: he getting the job done for as a first year starter,

2627
02:21:22,360 --> 02:21:25,280
Speaker 2: he is a star as a first year starter, Julian

2628
02:21:25,320 --> 02:21:28,120
Speaker 2: sand and he's arguably playing the best of any quarterback

2629
02:21:28,160 --> 02:21:32,160
Speaker 2: in college football across the board. Although this gentleman from

2630
02:21:33,520 --> 02:21:38,600
Speaker 2: Indiana might have something to say about that. You know,

2631
02:21:38,840 --> 02:21:43,880
Speaker 2: the moniker I'm about to apply to this gentleman's name,

2632
02:21:43,920 --> 02:21:48,360
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza Heisman contender, possible first overall pick. That was

2633
02:21:48,400 --> 02:21:50,480
Speaker 2: what they were calling arch Manning. This is what Fernando

2634
02:21:50,560 --> 02:21:54,959
Speaker 2: Mendoza has done. By the way, he's also got He's

2635
02:21:55,000 --> 02:21:58,080
Speaker 2: a good big brother to his younger brother, Alberta, who's

2636
02:21:58,120 --> 02:22:00,320
Speaker 2: a freshman backup, and just for fun, he needs to

2637
02:22:00,360 --> 02:22:03,160
Speaker 2: come up. You see. One of the benefits of watching

2638
02:22:03,240 --> 02:22:05,680
Speaker 2: your older brother, you know, blow the doors off every

2639
02:22:05,720 --> 02:22:08,560
Speaker 2: single opponent on the schedule, is that as a younger brother,

2640
02:22:08,680 --> 02:22:09,920
Speaker 2: you get to get in the game too. In the

2641
02:22:09,959 --> 02:22:13,959
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and Alberta Mendoza got some action Saturday, Indiana.

2642
02:22:14,440 --> 02:22:16,600
Speaker 2: You know, oh, just what the hell? Forty eight to ten?

2643
02:22:16,640 --> 02:22:19,400
Speaker 2: They ended up winning fifty five to ten. Albert Mendoza

2644
02:22:19,440 --> 02:22:22,039
Speaker 2: comes into the game, throws his first touchdown of the season,

2645
02:22:22,400 --> 02:22:25,840
Speaker 2: and then just for fun, he takes off on a

2646
02:22:25,920 --> 02:22:31,360
Speaker 2: fifty three yard run. All right, In the last two weeks,

2647
02:22:32,560 --> 02:22:35,959
Speaker 2: Indiana has outscored their opponents one eleven to sixteen. It's

2648
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:41,560
Speaker 2: by ninety five points. I listen, eventually this is going

2649
02:22:41,680 --> 02:22:46,400
Speaker 2: to have to be decided on the field, right, But

2650
02:22:48,160 --> 02:22:51,039
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, you put Indiana on the field

2651
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:53,760
Speaker 2: with Ohio State. We'll talk to Don about that. I

2652
02:22:53,879 --> 02:22:56,120
Speaker 2: remember last year he was saying they had their eye

2653
02:22:56,160 --> 02:23:01,200
Speaker 2: on Indiana. Last guar Ohio State did. Now, Indiana was good.

2654
02:23:01,320 --> 02:23:04,480
Speaker 2: They got to the playoff. You know, the last two

2655
02:23:04,560 --> 02:23:06,920
Speaker 2: long the only two loss is Kurt Signetty has had

2656
02:23:07,720 --> 02:23:10,480
Speaker 2: at Indiana or to Notre Dame in Ohio State, who

2657
02:23:10,520 --> 02:23:13,840
Speaker 2: happened to be last year's finalists. And this Indiana team

2658
02:23:13,920 --> 02:23:17,120
Speaker 2: is better. They showed it at Oregon. They've upgraded a quarterback,

2659
02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:20,760
Speaker 2: they have two NFL wide receivers, two lockdown corners. They

2660
02:23:20,840 --> 02:23:23,120
Speaker 2: said they went up to autstin stadium. No one does this.

2661
02:23:23,200 --> 02:23:26,200
Speaker 2: They set the edges, they were physical, they were violent

2662
02:23:26,280 --> 02:23:29,440
Speaker 2: on defense, and they beat up. They beat up Oregon.

2663
02:23:29,480 --> 02:23:31,360
Speaker 2: They beat him up. They beat him by ten. They

2664
02:23:31,400 --> 02:23:35,080
Speaker 2: were seven point underdog. That's what they told us Clemson

2665
02:23:35,160 --> 02:23:41,000
Speaker 2: might do this year. Look, I would say I feel

2666
02:23:41,080 --> 02:23:46,800
Speaker 2: bad for Dabble Swiney, but I just I don't. His

2667
02:23:47,160 --> 02:23:51,440
Speaker 2: legacy is secure. But watching him just melt down in

2668
02:23:51,560 --> 02:23:55,600
Speaker 2: front of the lineman today and the defense on National

2669
02:23:55,680 --> 02:24:00,760
Speaker 2: TV and God and everybody, I'm like, you know, he's

2670
02:24:00,840 --> 02:24:02,760
Speaker 2: not dealing with this. Well, remember he.

2671
02:24:02,800 --> 02:24:03,080
Speaker 3: Had that.

2672
02:24:04,920 --> 02:24:08,879
Speaker 2: You know that that press conference about four weeks ago.

2673
02:24:08,959 --> 02:24:11,720
Speaker 2: If you're all sick of losing. You know, I can

2674
02:24:11,760 --> 02:24:14,880
Speaker 2: go somewhere else, you know, blah blah blah. Well, I

2675
02:24:14,920 --> 02:24:17,280
Speaker 2: don't know. Are sick of winning? He said, you're all

2676
02:24:17,320 --> 02:24:25,160
Speaker 2: sick of winning. Yeah, I'm a little speechless about that.

2677
02:24:25,600 --> 02:24:27,480
Speaker 2: But I never bought that Clemson was going to be

2678
02:24:28,520 --> 02:24:31,680
Speaker 2: a Final four team this year. Duke Duke had their

2679
02:24:31,720 --> 02:24:32,360
Speaker 2: way with Clemson.

2680
02:24:32,400 --> 02:24:32,640
Speaker 9: Today.

2681
02:24:32,680 --> 02:24:36,240
Speaker 2: I think I thought Clemson's down three and six. They've

2682
02:24:36,280 --> 02:24:39,920
Speaker 2: turned Death Valley into Happy Valley when you go there.

2683
02:24:39,959 --> 02:24:42,960
Speaker 2: They're two and three at home since as I said

2684
02:24:43,040 --> 02:24:46,600
Speaker 2: five weeks ago, when Clem when Dapolos Winny said, quote

2685
02:24:46,640 --> 02:24:49,000
Speaker 2: if Tempson, if Clemson's tired of winning, they can send

2686
02:24:49,040 --> 02:24:51,039
Speaker 2: me on my way. Well, I don't think they're going

2687
02:24:51,080 --> 02:24:54,320
Speaker 2: to send him on his way. But Clemson has now

2688
02:24:54,440 --> 02:24:59,640
Speaker 2: lost six straight home games to Power Conference teams for

2689
02:24:59,680 --> 02:25:03,680
Speaker 2: the first time in fifty five years. They're one and

2690
02:25:03,800 --> 02:25:06,320
Speaker 2: four at home with two games left, They're going to

2691
02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:08,160
Speaker 2: have a losing home record for the first time in

2692
02:25:08,240 --> 02:25:11,600
Speaker 2: twenty seven years. Two and four also their worst ACC

2693
02:25:11,760 --> 02:25:15,280
Speaker 2: start in twenty seven years. You might want to dial

2694
02:25:15,360 --> 02:25:18,680
Speaker 2: it back, dabble win some games, win some games, and

2695
02:25:18,800 --> 02:25:20,440
Speaker 2: you were in a society of what you've done for

2696
02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:24,360
Speaker 2: me lately. So that's kind of what happened in college

2697
02:25:24,400 --> 02:25:30,800
Speaker 2: football Saturday. We look ahead to Tuesday. Okay, now we

2698
02:25:30,920 --> 02:25:34,360
Speaker 2: don't know what the committee's going to say. It's a mystery,

2699
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:39,840
Speaker 2: but I feel secure in the belief that these four

2700
02:25:39,920 --> 02:25:43,760
Speaker 2: teams will be the top four teams as you project

2701
02:25:44,760 --> 02:25:48,200
Speaker 2: the twelve. The top twelve, which you don't know is

2702
02:25:48,800 --> 02:25:51,680
Speaker 2: how far does Miami fall. They've lost twice and lost

2703
02:25:51,720 --> 02:25:55,560
Speaker 2: to LSU and Notre Dame also has two losses. But

2704
02:25:55,879 --> 02:25:59,280
Speaker 2: can they rise? Mike, Texas Tech make their debut in

2705
02:25:59,320 --> 02:26:05,160
Speaker 2: the College football Top twenty five. Okay, Vanderbilts had their

2706
02:26:05,240 --> 02:26:07,039
Speaker 2: day in the sun, but after they lost in Texas,

2707
02:26:07,560 --> 02:26:09,920
Speaker 2: does that rain on their parade? I believe Ohio State

2708
02:26:09,959 --> 02:26:12,400
Speaker 2: they're defending CHAMPI. They should be number one. They've been

2709
02:26:12,440 --> 02:26:16,000
Speaker 2: one of the most consistently complete teams and that season

2710
02:26:16,040 --> 02:26:19,080
Speaker 2: opening win against Texas. At this point, it's starting to

2711
02:26:19,120 --> 02:26:23,520
Speaker 2: look better all the time. They also beat the Texas

2712
02:26:23,560 --> 02:26:25,720
Speaker 2: and Texas by which I mentioned in minut Ago beat

2713
02:26:25,840 --> 02:26:29,040
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt on Saturday, so it helps their playoff hops and

2714
02:26:29,120 --> 02:26:32,920
Speaker 2: it helps Ohio State's resume. Okay, the only way the

2715
02:26:33,080 --> 02:26:35,920
Speaker 2: committee might have them at number two. Is you could

2716
02:26:35,959 --> 02:26:39,560
Speaker 2: say Indiana has the better best win by double digits

2717
02:26:39,600 --> 02:26:43,560
Speaker 2: at Oregon, and they're statistically comparable. The Hoosiers are number

2718
02:26:43,560 --> 02:26:46,400
Speaker 2: two and total efficiency ranked in the top six both

2719
02:26:46,480 --> 02:26:51,879
Speaker 2: offensive and defensive efficiencies. That's seeing a lot the Buckey's

2720
02:26:52,040 --> 02:26:54,760
Speaker 2: toughest remaining game. You all know it. In four weeks

2721
02:26:54,879 --> 02:26:57,720
Speaker 2: at Michigan. They're trying to avoid a fifth straight loss

2722
02:26:57,840 --> 02:27:00,320
Speaker 2: to their rivals. In the interim. I think, talk to

2723
02:27:00,360 --> 02:27:02,640
Speaker 2: down I think they've got Rutgers.

2724
02:27:02,280 --> 02:27:02,360
Speaker 4: And.

2725
02:27:04,040 --> 02:27:07,120
Speaker 2: You know, I expect the Ohio State to be undefeated,

2726
02:27:07,440 --> 02:27:10,160
Speaker 2: and I expect them when they play Michigan, and I

2727
02:27:10,240 --> 02:27:12,600
Speaker 2: expect them to also be number one of the pole.

2728
02:27:12,720 --> 02:27:15,760
Speaker 2: I expect Indiana to be number two. Their third road

2729
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:19,360
Speaker 2: win of the season on Saturday at Maryland. Indiana has

2730
02:27:19,360 --> 02:27:21,119
Speaker 2: been one of the most dominant teams in the country.

2731
02:27:21,200 --> 02:27:24,400
Speaker 2: Regardless of who they play, they kill them. I mean,

2732
02:27:24,440 --> 02:27:26,720
Speaker 2: they're only second to Ohio State, I think, the only

2733
02:27:26,720 --> 02:27:28,160
Speaker 2: one of the best wins in the country. They beat

2734
02:27:28,200 --> 02:27:31,080
Speaker 2: Oregon thirty to twenty on October eleventh. That shocked a

2735
02:27:31,160 --> 02:27:34,360
Speaker 2: lot of people. All Right, if the Hoosiers run the table,

2736
02:27:34,400 --> 02:27:36,720
Speaker 2: then just simply play for the Big Ten Championship. They're

2737
02:27:36,760 --> 02:27:39,120
Speaker 2: a lock to be in the College Football Playoff. Even

2738
02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:41,840
Speaker 2: if they lose in the Big Ten title game, they'll

2739
02:27:41,879 --> 02:27:43,840
Speaker 2: keep them in contention for a top four finish in

2740
02:27:43,879 --> 02:27:47,040
Speaker 2: a first round. By there's always that chance they're toughras

2741
02:27:47,080 --> 02:27:52,280
Speaker 2: remaining game. There really isn't one. They play Indiana Place,

2742
02:27:52,400 --> 02:27:55,800
Speaker 2: Penn State, Wisconsinantin, Purdue, and they all have five losses,

2743
02:27:56,640 --> 02:27:59,800
Speaker 2: and if you're an analytics wonk, they have a seventy percent,

2744
02:28:00,080 --> 02:28:03,560
Speaker 2: seventy seven percent chance to win each of those games.

2745
02:28:05,320 --> 02:28:09,760
Speaker 2: All right, The Alabama Crimson tied. Forget that Florida State game.

2746
02:28:10,200 --> 02:28:14,600
Speaker 2: You can flush it. If Georgia is a top five

2747
02:28:14,640 --> 02:28:17,960
Speaker 2: team on Tuesday Night, Notre Dame behind him Alabama's best

2748
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:20,320
Speaker 2: win with Trump, Texas A and M's top win against

2749
02:28:20,360 --> 02:28:26,640
Speaker 2: the Irish. The difference is though, tied Calin de Bor

2750
02:28:26,800 --> 02:28:31,200
Speaker 2: and his team. They've beaten Vanderbilt, Miszoo, and Tennessee and

2751
02:28:31,240 --> 02:28:33,119
Speaker 2: they're all going to probably be top twenty five teams

2752
02:28:33,160 --> 02:28:38,039
Speaker 2: on Tuesday night. Bama has four consecutive wins, and these

2753
02:28:38,080 --> 02:28:40,800
Speaker 2: are against teams that the Committee will hold in high regard,

2754
02:28:40,879 --> 02:28:45,120
Speaker 2: including two key ones on the road. All right. The

2755
02:28:45,200 --> 02:28:48,040
Speaker 2: difference between a number three seed, which I think Alabama's

2756
02:28:48,080 --> 02:28:50,120
Speaker 2: going to be in the number four seed. The three

2757
02:28:50,200 --> 02:28:54,280
Speaker 2: seed faces the winner of eleven versus six. The four

2758
02:28:54,360 --> 02:28:56,600
Speaker 2: seed has the winner of the five to twelve, the

2759
02:28:56,760 --> 02:28:58,640
Speaker 2: toughest remaining game. When I talked about it a few

2760
02:28:58,680 --> 02:29:04,960
Speaker 2: minutes ago, they host Oklahoma on November fifteenth. It's likely

2761
02:29:05,040 --> 02:29:08,000
Speaker 2: That'll be the last top twenty five team BAMA faces

2762
02:29:08,560 --> 02:29:11,440
Speaker 2: during the regular season. Number four. Give it up to

2763
02:29:11,480 --> 02:29:13,680
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. There eight, No, they have one

2764
02:29:13,680 --> 02:29:16,120
Speaker 2: of the best non conference wins in the country. They

2765
02:29:16,200 --> 02:29:18,840
Speaker 2: beat Notre Dame forty one to forty on September thirteenth,

2766
02:29:19,400 --> 02:29:22,400
Speaker 2: and I realized the win against LSU is not as

2767
02:29:23,120 --> 02:29:25,640
Speaker 2: glossy as it might have looked. But at the time

2768
02:29:26,240 --> 02:29:28,520
Speaker 2: you stroll into Baton Rouge and score forty nine points

2769
02:29:28,560 --> 02:29:32,119
Speaker 2: after scoring forty one at Notre Dame before that, well

2770
02:29:32,160 --> 02:29:33,400
Speaker 2: you're gonna get people's attention.

2771
02:29:34,160 --> 02:29:34,520
Speaker 6: All right.

2772
02:29:35,720 --> 02:29:37,920
Speaker 2: I think Texas A and M is very deserving, gonna

2773
02:29:37,920 --> 02:29:42,560
Speaker 2: be in fourth the committee. It's gonna be predicated on

2774
02:29:42,680 --> 02:29:46,480
Speaker 2: how the committee views LSU. That's gonna be a factor

2775
02:29:46,560 --> 02:29:49,080
Speaker 2: in how they judge A and M's resume because, in

2776
02:29:49,120 --> 02:29:53,080
Speaker 2: addition to Notre Dame, Texas A and M's wins came

2777
02:29:53,160 --> 02:29:55,440
Speaker 2: against LSU when they reversed when they were above five

2778
02:29:55,520 --> 02:29:59,320
Speaker 2: hundred and Mississippi State. So Texas A and M and

2779
02:29:59,360 --> 02:30:03,440
Speaker 2: Alabama ha three road wins each, but Bamas were better.

2780
02:30:03,560 --> 02:30:07,320
Speaker 2: They came against Georgia Missouri. Those are ranked teams. That's

2781
02:30:07,360 --> 02:30:10,199
Speaker 2: why I have Bama third and Texas A and M fourth.

2782
02:30:10,760 --> 02:30:14,480
Speaker 2: Their toughest game and this, believe me, and it's the

2783
02:30:14,560 --> 02:30:18,520
Speaker 2: same weekend that Michigan plays Ohio State. I believe it's

2784
02:30:18,560 --> 02:30:20,440
Speaker 2: a Friday game this year, I have to double check

2785
02:30:20,480 --> 02:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Texas A and M visits Texas. Who's going to be

2786
02:30:24,320 --> 02:30:26,640
Speaker 2: number five? Well, I think it's going to be the

2787
02:30:26,680 --> 02:30:31,600
Speaker 2: Georgia Bulldogs. Yes, Florida wasn't great, They're not great, but

2788
02:30:31,640 --> 02:30:33,600
Speaker 2: they were feisty and it's a tough place to play

2789
02:30:33,640 --> 02:30:37,760
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, the world's largest cocktail party. Georgia's only lost

2790
02:30:37,800 --> 02:30:40,560
Speaker 2: three points at home to Alabama. It's No. Number twenty seventh.

2791
02:30:40,920 --> 02:30:44,160
Speaker 2: Their best win October eighteenth against a very good Old

2792
02:30:44,200 --> 02:30:49,400
Speaker 2: miss team. All right over the overtime win at Tennessee,

2793
02:30:49,800 --> 02:30:52,880
Speaker 2: Will I think helped separate Georgia from other one loss contenders.

2794
02:30:53,320 --> 02:30:56,200
Speaker 2: There have been lots of questions about Georgia's defense, but

2795
02:30:56,680 --> 02:31:00,800
Speaker 2: Florida was only two to thirteen on third down Saturday,

2796
02:31:01,200 --> 02:31:06,920
Speaker 2: toughest remaining game Again, Georgia hosts Texas on November fifteenth.

2797
02:31:07,959 --> 02:31:10,840
Speaker 2: Ole Miss give it out to Lane Kiffin and by

2798
02:31:10,840 --> 02:31:12,360
Speaker 2: the way, I wonder if he'll be there next year.

2799
02:31:12,440 --> 02:31:13,879
Speaker 2: We'll see. We're gonna get to that a little later

2800
02:31:14,480 --> 02:31:19,959
Speaker 2: about candidates to replace Brian Kelly. Ole Miss really struggled

2801
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:23,640
Speaker 2: to contain Lenorth Sellers in South Carolina, at least in

2802
02:31:23,680 --> 02:31:25,240
Speaker 2: the first half of the game. But in the fourth

2803
02:31:25,320 --> 02:31:29,240
Speaker 2: quarter that defense woke up. They swarm Sellers, Old Miss

2804
02:31:29,280 --> 02:31:33,320
Speaker 2: pulled away. They will probably be the Committee's top one

2805
02:31:33,440 --> 02:31:36,360
Speaker 2: loss team. They're gonna be ranked behind Georgia because of

2806
02:31:36,360 --> 02:31:39,359
Speaker 2: their head to head loss to Georgia on October eighteenth.

2807
02:31:40,840 --> 02:31:43,080
Speaker 2: And you don't know how the Committee will treat BYU.

2808
02:31:43,120 --> 02:31:46,080
Speaker 2: They're undefeated the inner week ten, ranked ninth and total efficiency.

2809
02:31:46,560 --> 02:31:51,160
Speaker 2: Ole missus twenty first BYU, fifth in strength to record

2810
02:31:51,680 --> 02:31:54,200
Speaker 2: slid edge over old Miss, number seven in strength the record.

2811
02:31:54,240 --> 02:31:55,640
Speaker 2: By the way, Texas, A and M. I believe he's

2812
02:31:55,680 --> 02:31:58,960
Speaker 2: number one in strength to record. Who is Old Miss's

2813
02:31:59,080 --> 02:32:03,400
Speaker 2: tough toughest game, Well, that's easy, number twenty eighth. The

2814
02:32:03,480 --> 02:32:08,640
Speaker 2: toughest remaining game twenty eight at Mississippi State the egg Bowl.

2815
02:32:09,040 --> 02:32:12,920
Speaker 2: That is never a gimmey, never a gimmy in Mississippi State.

2816
02:32:12,959 --> 02:32:15,240
Speaker 2: It's about five hundred now and the games played at

2817
02:32:15,240 --> 02:32:20,400
Speaker 2: Mississippi State. Why that's important to will Miss because if

2818
02:32:20,400 --> 02:32:23,920
Speaker 2: they have designs on advancing in the playoffs, well, if

2819
02:32:23,920 --> 02:32:25,800
Speaker 2: they lose the Egg Bowl, they're gonna probably go on

2820
02:32:25,840 --> 02:32:29,560
Speaker 2: the road in their first round of the playoffs insteading

2821
02:32:30,040 --> 02:32:34,360
Speaker 2: instead of playing a home game, or or they run

2822
02:32:34,400 --> 02:32:36,560
Speaker 2: the risk of being bumped out of the bracket entirely.

2823
02:32:37,440 --> 02:32:40,520
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, we are going to preview seven

2824
02:32:40,600 --> 02:32:43,640
Speaker 2: through twelve, And make no mistake, this is a guess

2825
02:32:43,959 --> 02:32:48,760
Speaker 2: how to HALLOWEENO? How HALLOWEENO? But their educated guess is

2826
02:32:48,800 --> 02:32:51,000
Speaker 2: based on track records and what the committee is likely

2827
02:32:51,080 --> 02:32:54,160
Speaker 2: to do based on strength the records, schedule and all

2828
02:32:54,200 --> 02:32:55,520
Speaker 2: the good things like that. By the way, if you

Speaker 2: hour Extravagans a daylight savings sixtravagans that continues keeps for

2845
02:33:42,600 --> 02:33:48,160
Speaker 2: rolling right along. Who is the number seventeam? We are

2846
02:33:48,320 --> 02:33:53,400
Speaker 2: guessing that will be as part of the first Projection

2847
02:33:53,640 --> 02:33:57,800
Speaker 2: twelve team playoff on Tuesday's show, The BYU Cougars or eight. No,

2848
02:33:57,920 --> 02:34:00,360
Speaker 2: they had a bye week this last week, but I

2849
02:34:00,440 --> 02:34:02,280
Speaker 2: think they're the well, first of all, they're the lone

2850
02:34:02,360 --> 02:34:05,720
Speaker 2: undefeated Big twelve team to consider. I mean BYU is

2851
02:34:05,800 --> 02:34:08,400
Speaker 2: back to back wins against Utah and Iowa State collectively

2852
02:34:08,480 --> 02:34:11,680
Speaker 2: better than really anything Georgia Tech has done on its resume,

2853
02:34:11,840 --> 02:34:15,560
Speaker 2: and heading into Saturday, b YU was ranked five and

2854
02:34:16,240 --> 02:34:21,480
Speaker 2: in ESP and strength Strength of record measure. All right, now,

2855
02:34:21,560 --> 02:34:23,920
Speaker 2: BYU and Texas Tech are the most likely matchup in

2856
02:34:23,959 --> 02:34:29,080
Speaker 2: the Big twelve title game, but they will first have

2857
02:34:29,160 --> 02:34:30,760
Speaker 2: to play each other, believe it or not and love

2858
02:34:30,800 --> 02:34:33,160
Speaker 2: it next week? So b why you will travel to

2859
02:34:33,280 --> 02:34:36,480
Speaker 2: Texas Tech? And if BYU reaches the Big twelve title

2860
02:34:36,520 --> 02:34:39,200
Speaker 2: game undefeated, they will almost certainly get in that large bit.

2861
02:34:39,560 --> 02:34:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't see how they wouldn't. They got a week,

2862
02:34:42,320 --> 02:34:43,800
Speaker 2: they had a week to prepare. The Red Raiders are

2863
02:34:43,800 --> 02:34:46,200
Speaker 2: coming off a road win against Kansas State next Saturday.

2864
02:34:46,280 --> 02:34:48,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it when I sign on b YU

2865
02:34:48,680 --> 02:34:51,440
Speaker 2: at Texas Tech. But again we're talking about Tuesday's projection.

2866
02:34:52,240 --> 02:34:58,960
Speaker 2: This Tuesday, the much anticipated show that is the first

2867
02:34:59,040 --> 02:35:02,720
Speaker 2: pass of you know what the projected twelve team playoff

2868
02:35:02,720 --> 02:35:05,400
Speaker 2: field might look like come December? And oh yeah, it

2869
02:35:05,520 --> 02:35:08,520
Speaker 2: never ends up being that, but why not have a

2870
02:35:08,560 --> 02:35:13,160
Speaker 2: little fun with it. Number eight the Oregon Ducks. Okay,

2871
02:35:13,240 --> 02:35:15,480
Speaker 2: they're going to be one of the Committee's most interesting

2872
02:35:15,640 --> 02:35:20,640
Speaker 2: teams to ponder because they've played well, but wait for it,

2873
02:35:22,240 --> 02:35:26,119
Speaker 2: their best win was at Northwestern back in early September,

2874
02:35:27,280 --> 02:35:30,279
Speaker 2: and that it turns out that's the only team Oregon's

2875
02:35:30,320 --> 02:35:34,320
Speaker 2: beaten with a winning record. Now, it's not an indictment

2876
02:35:34,360 --> 02:35:37,160
Speaker 2: against Oregon. They don't make their own schedule, but Oregon's

2877
02:35:37,160 --> 02:35:40,080
Speaker 2: opponents had a winning percentage of forty seven percent. That

2878
02:35:40,160 --> 02:35:42,520
Speaker 2: ranks one to one in the country. They also have

2879
02:35:42,560 --> 02:35:46,879
Speaker 2: an FCS win against Montana State. That doesn't mean Oregon

2880
02:35:47,200 --> 02:35:50,280
Speaker 2: can't get a deep playoff run, but we want to

2881
02:35:50,280 --> 02:35:51,600
Speaker 2: see how the committee looks at it. Might Now I

2882
02:35:51,600 --> 02:35:54,360
Speaker 2: got a number eight. Remember they lost to Indiana. That's

2883
02:35:54,400 --> 02:35:56,400
Speaker 2: the best team they played. They played at home, lost

2884
02:35:56,440 --> 02:35:59,800
Speaker 2: by double digits. Again, these are facts. Now, Oregon has

2885
02:36:00,400 --> 02:36:03,360
Speaker 2: many more chances to impress the selection committee. In November.

2886
02:36:04,640 --> 02:36:07,160
Speaker 2: You get to play Iowa, you have to play USC

2887
02:36:07,520 --> 02:36:11,160
Speaker 2: and they travel to Washington. All those teams have winning

2888
02:36:11,200 --> 02:36:15,320
Speaker 2: records and likely will be in the CFP Top twenty five.

2889
02:36:16,480 --> 02:36:21,400
Speaker 2: But the committee doesn't project ahead all right, So wherever

2890
02:36:21,560 --> 02:36:23,600
Speaker 2: Oregon is on Tuesday, which I believe will be eight,

2891
02:36:23,640 --> 02:36:26,400
Speaker 2: they'll be only judged by the resume they've had so far.

2892
02:36:27,240 --> 02:36:29,920
Speaker 2: All Right, their toughest game, I'd have to say it's

2893
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:33,840
Speaker 2: at Washington November twenty ninth, same day Michigan plays at

2894
02:36:33,840 --> 02:36:36,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State Washington six and two. They've only lost to

2895
02:36:36,800 --> 02:36:39,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State and on the road against Michigan, so be

2896
02:36:39,840 --> 02:36:42,200
Speaker 2: a tough game. All right. We just mentioned BYU in

2897
02:36:42,280 --> 02:36:44,880
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. Texas Tech we have checking in at ninth

2898
02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:49,000
Speaker 2: or eight and one very talented team, big and ile

2899
02:36:49,080 --> 02:36:52,920
Speaker 2: money spent this year. They may well be better than

2900
02:36:53,080 --> 02:36:56,440
Speaker 2: BYU even though E E BYU is undefeated and Texas

2901
02:36:56,520 --> 02:37:01,360
Speaker 2: Tech has a loss at Arizona State and that's going

2902
02:37:01,440 --> 02:37:03,520
Speaker 2: to prevent them from being any higher than ninth in

2903
02:37:03,600 --> 02:37:07,360
Speaker 2: this initial ranking on Tuesday, and they don't really have

2904
02:37:08,560 --> 02:37:10,879
Speaker 2: a major win to sort of offset that loss at

2905
02:37:10,920 --> 02:37:16,720
Speaker 2: Arizona State. They did have a pretty impressive win at

2906
02:37:16,840 --> 02:37:20,920
Speaker 2: Utah thirty four to ten back on September twentieth, and

2907
02:37:21,000 --> 02:37:24,680
Speaker 2: they did beat win at Kansas State Saturday, and that

2908
02:37:24,840 --> 02:37:30,360
Speaker 2: was Texas Tech's third Big twelve road win. But they

2909
02:37:30,480 --> 02:37:35,520
Speaker 2: had like a lousy, lousy, lousy non conference schedule. They

2910
02:37:35,560 --> 02:37:39,119
Speaker 2: played Arkansas, Pine Bluff, Kent State, and Oregon State. None

2911
02:37:39,120 --> 02:37:41,920
Speaker 2: of those teams have a winning record, and so their

2912
02:37:42,040 --> 02:37:47,560
Speaker 2: strength of record is number sixty. So look, actually it's fourteen.

2913
02:37:47,600 --> 02:37:51,480
Speaker 2: Excuse me, their strength to schedule is sixty. So the

2914
02:37:51,640 --> 02:37:57,640
Speaker 2: game against BYU next Saturday at home is looming large

2915
02:37:57,680 --> 02:38:00,200
Speaker 2: for Texas Tech because if they lose but still win

2916
02:38:00,240 --> 02:38:03,840
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve, then they can be a lock to

2917
02:38:03,879 --> 02:38:07,240
Speaker 2: go to the playoffs. The problem is, if Texas Tech

2918
02:38:07,320 --> 02:38:10,720
Speaker 2: loses a second conference game, then they're gonna need help

2919
02:38:10,760 --> 02:38:13,039
Speaker 2: to reach the Big Twelve championship, So lost to BYU

2920
02:38:13,640 --> 02:38:18,040
Speaker 2: could really severely damage Texas Tech conference and college football

2921
02:38:18,080 --> 02:38:21,160
Speaker 2: playoff hopes. All right, but if Texas Tech beats b

2922
02:38:21,440 --> 02:38:24,360
Speaker 2: YU next Saturday, but then they turn around and lose

2923
02:38:24,440 --> 02:38:27,080
Speaker 2: to BYU in the Big twelve championship game, well let's

2924
02:38:27,080 --> 02:38:29,840
Speaker 2: still have a chance of that large bid and they'd

2925
02:38:29,879 --> 02:38:31,480
Speaker 2: be able to claim and win over the eventual Big

2926
02:38:31,560 --> 02:38:35,200
Speaker 2: Twelve champs. That would help. But again it's going to

2927
02:38:35,240 --> 02:38:39,720
Speaker 2: determine other games against BYU. All right, Texas Tech ends

2928
02:38:39,720 --> 02:38:41,720
Speaker 2: the scheduled against UC after only four and four in

2929
02:38:41,760 --> 02:38:44,920
Speaker 2: West Virginia. At only three and six, we have Texas Tech.

2930
02:38:44,959 --> 02:38:48,199
Speaker 2: But again this is for Tuesday. We're projecting, not looking

2931
02:38:48,240 --> 02:38:51,840
Speaker 2: beyond that. We got Texas Tech checking in at ninth,

2932
02:38:52,920 --> 02:38:56,560
Speaker 2: number ten. The Notre Dame fighting Irish we think they'll

2933
02:38:56,640 --> 02:38:59,160
Speaker 2: check in at ten. They're six and two. They started

2934
02:38:59,200 --> 02:39:03,160
Speaker 2: out zero and two, which hurt, but they've won six

2935
02:39:03,200 --> 02:39:05,960
Speaker 2: straight and now they're making a case to be that

2936
02:39:06,120 --> 02:39:11,000
Speaker 2: tenth team. It helps when Miami loses, Georgia Tech loses,

2937
02:39:11,320 --> 02:39:16,280
Speaker 2: and Vanderbilt loses. That helps Notre Dame a lot. They're

2938
02:39:16,320 --> 02:39:19,000
Speaker 2: head to head, lost to Miami, and the season opener

2939
02:39:19,480 --> 02:39:21,840
Speaker 2: is going to be a talking point. It's one of

2940
02:39:21,920 --> 02:39:26,440
Speaker 2: several tiebreakers. And if the committee, though, feels that Notre

2941
02:39:26,560 --> 02:39:29,160
Speaker 2: Dame is now the better team whether then they have

2942
02:39:29,280 --> 02:39:33,400
Speaker 2: the autonomy to rank them that way. Notre Dame I

2943
02:39:33,440 --> 02:39:36,520
Speaker 2: thought was very unimpressive against Boston College. They won twenty

2944
02:39:36,560 --> 02:39:38,160
Speaker 2: five to ten, but they were playing with their food.

2945
02:39:38,560 --> 02:39:41,680
Speaker 2: They pulled away. Boston College is one an eight team

2946
02:39:42,040 --> 02:39:44,280
Speaker 2: and they're typically a very good program, but they're one

2947
02:39:44,320 --> 02:39:47,240
Speaker 2: in eight this year. Notre Dame's best wins against USC

2948
02:39:48,240 --> 02:39:51,320
Speaker 2: and it could have another ranked opponent on their schedule.

2949
02:39:52,080 --> 02:39:55,920
Speaker 2: If Pitt somehow becomes a top twenty five team on Tuesday,

2950
02:39:56,000 --> 02:40:00,440
Speaker 2: remember the Tuesday Show. They don't just project the top

2951
02:40:00,520 --> 02:40:03,560
Speaker 2: twelve and the playoffs. They do the TULL Top twenty five.

2952
02:40:05,160 --> 02:40:08,000
Speaker 2: Notre Dame will travel the Pit on November fifteenth. And

2953
02:40:08,440 --> 02:40:11,280
Speaker 2: let's face it, Notre Dame's defense is improving. They have

2954
02:40:11,360 --> 02:40:13,600
Speaker 2: a very strong running game. Jeremiah Love one of the

2955
02:40:13,640 --> 02:40:18,080
Speaker 2: best backs in the country. And you know, if you

2956
02:40:18,160 --> 02:40:23,200
Speaker 2: believe in these statistics, sometimes that are supplerfluests. Notre Dame

2957
02:40:23,240 --> 02:40:25,800
Speaker 2: has about seventy five percent chance to win the rest

2958
02:40:25,840 --> 02:40:30,080
Speaker 2: of their games. Toughest game November fifteenth, that Pit, Okay.

2959
02:40:30,760 --> 02:40:33,920
Speaker 2: Pit's an ACC team, a tough team, a tough home team.

2960
02:40:34,520 --> 02:40:36,000
Speaker 2: They have a bye week, you prepare for it, and

2961
02:40:36,000 --> 02:40:40,160
Speaker 2: they've won five straight ACC games. Number eleven. The Texas

2962
02:40:40,360 --> 02:40:44,960
Speaker 2: Long Horns, well, they beat Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech's loss

2963
02:40:45,000 --> 02:40:48,680
Speaker 2: to NC State. Texas is back in the conversation. They

2964
02:40:48,720 --> 02:40:52,640
Speaker 2: don't have two wins in what should be top twenty

2965
02:40:52,680 --> 02:40:55,119
Speaker 2: five teams in Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, and they season opening

2966
02:40:55,160 --> 02:40:57,200
Speaker 2: loss at Ohio State is not going to hurt the

2967
02:40:57,240 --> 02:40:59,440
Speaker 2: Long Horns in the eyes of the committee. Now, the

2968
02:40:59,560 --> 02:41:04,320
Speaker 2: loss Florida October fourth is bad, but unlike Georgia Tech,

2969
02:41:04,360 --> 02:41:07,080
Speaker 2: the Longhorns, well, they have statement wins to help offset it.

2970
02:41:07,400 --> 02:41:10,360
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, Texas has now won four straight games since

2971
02:41:10,400 --> 02:41:13,920
Speaker 2: they lost to Florida and they have the rival win

2972
02:41:14,120 --> 02:41:17,200
Speaker 2: again head to head against Oklahoma and the Red River shootout.

2973
02:41:17,760 --> 02:41:21,040
Speaker 2: That win is looking better every day, especially since the

2974
02:41:21,120 --> 02:41:25,640
Speaker 2: Sinners beat Tennessee on the road Saturday. So the selection

2975
02:41:25,760 --> 02:41:30,720
Speaker 2: committee will likely drop Georgia Tech or Miami. They could

2976
02:41:30,800 --> 02:41:33,640
Speaker 2: ed Virginity to the mix, but I think Texas long.

2977
02:41:33,760 --> 02:41:36,440
Speaker 2: The Texas Longhorns sneak in and they open up the

2978
02:41:36,520 --> 02:41:40,760
Speaker 2: fray at eleven, their toughest game. We talked about this earlier.

2979
02:41:42,160 --> 02:41:45,320
Speaker 2: November twenty eighth, they host Texas A and M. It

2980
02:41:45,480 --> 02:41:48,039
Speaker 2: is not going to be easy to win at Georgia

2981
02:41:48,440 --> 02:41:51,800
Speaker 2: November fifteenth, but Texas will have a bye week to

2982
02:41:51,840 --> 02:41:54,800
Speaker 2: prepare for that. So you got a top four rival

2983
02:41:54,840 --> 02:41:57,320
Speaker 2: on a Friday night in the regular season finale November

2984
02:41:57,320 --> 02:41:59,880
Speaker 2: twenty eighth versus Texas A and M. That'll be this

2985
02:42:00,000 --> 02:42:02,800
Speaker 2: second best opponent of Texas faces all season, the lone exception,

2986
02:42:03,320 --> 02:42:06,560
Speaker 2: of course, being their seats season opener against Ohio State.

2987
02:42:06,640 --> 02:42:09,680
Speaker 2: Finally rounding out the top twelve in the playoffs. This

2988
02:42:09,879 --> 02:42:12,160
Speaker 2: is all the guests, but it's an educated guess. The

2989
02:42:12,200 --> 02:42:15,200
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Sooners. The Sooners again, they look very good at

2990
02:42:15,240 --> 02:42:18,680
Speaker 2: Tennessee Saturday. Their two losses were the Texas and Old

2991
02:42:18,760 --> 02:42:22,480
Speaker 2: miss They're respectable losses. I'll never call them good losses.

2992
02:42:22,760 --> 02:42:24,560
Speaker 2: No such singers. A good loss in any sport not

2993
02:42:24,680 --> 02:42:27,800
Speaker 2: buying it good loss. It's like a good kidney Stone.

2994
02:42:28,360 --> 02:42:31,560
Speaker 2: Not good with their Week two win at Michigan, or

2995
02:42:31,600 --> 02:42:34,000
Speaker 2: check that it was home against Michigan. He's one of

2996
02:42:34,040 --> 02:42:37,240
Speaker 2: the nation's better non conference wins, and they really pushed

2997
02:42:37,320 --> 02:42:39,840
Speaker 2: Michigan around, by the way. The Wolverine's now seven to two,

2998
02:42:40,360 --> 02:42:44,560
Speaker 2: three straight wins. Oklahoma also entered Saturday ranked twenty second

2999
02:42:44,600 --> 02:42:47,240
Speaker 2: in strength to schedule and number sixteen in total efficiency.

3000
02:42:47,840 --> 02:42:51,040
Speaker 2: They had to have loss, though, well, that's going to

3001
02:42:51,120 --> 02:42:53,959
Speaker 2: help keep them behind their rival Texas. That's why I've

3002
02:42:54,000 --> 02:42:58,120
Speaker 2: got them twelfth in Texas eleventh. If the playoffs were

3003
02:42:58,200 --> 02:43:02,000
Speaker 2: to start today, they're not. There's a chance Oklahoma would

3004
02:43:02,000 --> 02:43:04,520
Speaker 2: be bumped to make room for the fifth highest conference champion,

3005
02:43:04,760 --> 02:43:06,840
Speaker 2: which is guaranteed a spot on the twelve team field.

3006
02:43:06,920 --> 02:43:10,600
Speaker 2: Right now, that team is actually Memphis, but they'd be

3007
02:43:10,680 --> 02:43:13,120
Speaker 2: ranked outside the top twelve. The toughest remaining game and

3008
02:43:13,200 --> 02:43:16,840
Speaker 2: this is a tough one week from next Saturday at

3009
02:43:17,120 --> 02:43:20,120
Speaker 2: Alabama again, the Sooners have a bye week to prepare.

3010
02:43:21,840 --> 02:43:23,840
Speaker 2: But it's going to be a must win situation for

3011
02:43:23,920 --> 02:43:27,959
Speaker 2: Oklahoma in Tuscaloosis. So we see Ohio State, Indiana, Alabama,

3012
02:43:28,000 --> 02:43:30,920
Speaker 2: and Texas A and M getting buys. If it started today,

3013
02:43:31,360 --> 02:43:34,800
Speaker 2: Memphis would visit Georgia, Virginia at Old Miss Notre Dame

3014
02:43:34,840 --> 02:43:37,560
Speaker 2: at BYU in Texas Tech at Oregon. That rounds out

3015
02:43:38,080 --> 02:43:42,200
Speaker 2: your top twelve to start the whole festivities again, this

3016
02:43:42,400 --> 02:43:47,320
Speaker 2: is a guess. It is a educated guests coming up.

3017
02:43:47,560 --> 02:43:49,879
Speaker 2: We take you out to Columbus, Ohio. Don gessik our

3018
02:43:49,920 --> 02:43:52,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State Insider joints us. We say we have them

3019
02:43:52,520 --> 02:43:54,760
Speaker 2: after the Penn State game. Well that's come and gone.

3020
02:43:55,080 --> 02:43:57,879
Speaker 2: Let's tuck Ohio State football. Keep it locked. You're listening

3021
02:43:58,040 --> 02:44:00,560
Speaker 2: to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

3022
02:44:02,040 --> 02:44:04,720
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

3023
02:44:05,120 --> 02:44:07,560
Speaker 2: That's right, you heard the man. Bernie Foerls Show keeps

3024

Speaker 2: rolling right along our five hour annual Daylight Savings Time

Speaker 2: Turn back the Clock Extravaganza. We're come to line from

3026
02:44:14,520 --> 02:44:17,640
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios here and Las Vegas. Would

3027
02:44:17,640 --> 02:44:21,920
Speaker 2: take at to three am Pacific, six am Eastern. Let's

3028
02:44:22,000 --> 02:44:25,039
Speaker 2: continue on with college football. Let's go to the epicenter

3029
02:44:25,080 --> 02:44:27,840
Speaker 2: of the college football universe. They've won twelve games in

3030
02:44:27,920 --> 02:44:29,000
Speaker 2: a row. Look good doing it.

3031
02:44:29,520 --> 02:44:29,640
Speaker 6: Now.

3032
02:44:29,680 --> 02:44:32,720
Speaker 2: We had this gentleman on last year. All his predictions

3033
02:44:32,760 --> 02:44:34,640
Speaker 2: were right. We had them on. At the beginning of

3034
02:44:34,680 --> 02:44:36,760
Speaker 2: this year. We said, well, have you on after the

3035
02:44:36,840 --> 02:44:40,360
Speaker 2: Penn State game. That'll be a good point of demarcation

3036
02:44:40,520 --> 02:44:44,279
Speaker 2: and inflection. Say hello to our Ohio State insider from Columbus,

3037
02:44:44,400 --> 02:44:46,959
Speaker 2: Don gessig Don. Thanks for getting up early as always.

3038
02:44:48,320 --> 02:44:50,240
Speaker 19: Thanks Bertie, it's always nice talking to you.

3039
02:44:50,400 --> 02:44:51,160
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on.

3040
02:44:51,920 --> 02:44:54,200
Speaker 2: I was looking forward to this conversation because when we

3041
02:44:54,360 --> 02:44:59,480
Speaker 2: talked last August, Look, we didn't know what Julian Sane

3042
02:44:59,520 --> 02:45:02,080
Speaker 2: would be, We didn't know what would happen after the

3043
02:45:02,160 --> 02:45:05,280
Speaker 2: Penn State game. All those things. Now we fast forward

3044
02:45:05,879 --> 02:45:09,039
Speaker 2: ten weeks and I want to start with Julian saying,

3045
02:45:09,200 --> 02:45:12,920
Speaker 2: because Ryan Day said he should be included in Heisman

3046
02:45:13,640 --> 02:45:17,360
Speaker 2: Trophy talks, well, believe it or not, here in Las Vegas,

3047
02:45:17,800 --> 02:45:19,880
Speaker 2: he's right now the winner or checked out. He's the

3048
02:45:20,080 --> 02:45:24,080
Speaker 2: favorite alongside of Fernanda Mendoz of Indiana right about two

3049
02:45:24,160 --> 02:45:27,400
Speaker 2: to one? How is it? Julian saying, is this good?

3050
02:45:27,480 --> 02:45:28,000
Speaker 2: This fast?

3051
02:45:29,800 --> 02:45:32,640
Speaker 19: He well a Day has done a wonderful job. He's

3052
02:45:32,680 --> 02:45:35,840
Speaker 19: been very slow, very meticulous. He started him out against

3053
02:45:35,840 --> 02:45:40,120
Speaker 19: the Texas game with a very basic game plan, and

3054
02:45:40,200 --> 02:45:43,200
Speaker 19: then as the games have gone along, he's added more

3055
02:45:43,360 --> 02:45:46,800
Speaker 19: wrinkles to the offense and allowed him to open up

3056
02:45:46,800 --> 02:45:48,800
Speaker 19: a little bit. He's really brought him along. And of course,

3057
02:45:48,879 --> 02:45:52,760
Speaker 19: you know with Hardline as their offensive coordinator, you know

3058
02:45:52,840 --> 02:45:55,720
Speaker 19: he's done a magnificent job too. So he's he's growing

3059
02:45:55,800 --> 02:45:58,400
Speaker 19: right into the role and he's looked very good, very

3060
02:45:58,520 --> 02:45:58,840
Speaker 19: very good.

3061
02:46:00,280 --> 02:46:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. By the way, I don't

3062
02:46:02,040 --> 02:46:04,760
Speaker 2: mean you don't go down a rabbit hole here. I'm

3063
02:46:04,840 --> 02:46:09,480
Speaker 2: hearing that Brian Hartline is one of the names mentioned

3064
02:46:09,520 --> 02:46:14,280
Speaker 2: in the Penn State job opening. You know, if if

3065
02:46:14,320 --> 02:46:16,720
Speaker 2: you were to handicapped this, what are the chances you

3066
02:46:16,800 --> 02:46:21,720
Speaker 2: think Brian Hartline might might might strongly consider that if offered.

3067
02:46:22,680 --> 02:46:25,480
Speaker 19: You know, we're hearing it here in Ohio to that,

3068
02:46:26,720 --> 02:46:29,640
Speaker 19: you know that he's being entertained not only by Penn State,

3069
02:46:29,720 --> 02:46:32,720
Speaker 19: but he's had other colleges kicking the tires on him,

3070
02:46:32,760 --> 02:46:35,760
Speaker 19: and even this time last year he had colleges talking

3071
02:46:35,800 --> 02:46:38,119
Speaker 19: to him. And you know that's one of the reasons

3072
02:46:38,200 --> 02:46:41,200
Speaker 19: why they moved him up to offensive coordinator. He had

3073
02:46:41,200 --> 02:46:43,160
Speaker 19: to do something with him to keep him on board.

3074
02:46:43,520 --> 02:46:44,760
Speaker 6: He got a nice pay raise.

3075
02:46:46,040 --> 02:46:48,879
Speaker 19: You know, it's entirely possible that, you know, the TENN

3076
02:46:48,959 --> 02:46:50,600
Speaker 19: State's going to make a real run at it. I

3077
02:46:50,720 --> 02:46:54,080
Speaker 19: have to imagine if Penn State actually does secure him

3078
02:46:54,160 --> 02:46:56,680
Speaker 19: or whoever it is, that Heartline could be the highest

3079
02:46:56,760 --> 02:47:00,600
Speaker 19: paid coach of a major college football team that has

3080
02:47:00,680 --> 02:47:03,640
Speaker 19: no head coaching experience whatsoever when he lands.

3081
02:47:04,040 --> 02:47:07,480
Speaker 2: So I know a little bit about his background, but

3082
02:47:07,600 --> 02:47:09,520
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't does he have any Penn State

3083
02:47:09,640 --> 02:47:10,240
Speaker 2: ties at all?

3084
02:47:11,520 --> 02:47:14,600
Speaker 19: We're not aware of any Penn State ties. He obviously

3085
02:47:14,640 --> 02:47:17,600
Speaker 19: he went to Ohio State and so forth, and you

3086
02:47:17,680 --> 02:47:20,440
Speaker 19: know he's grown up through the ranks and uh, you know,

3087
02:47:20,480 --> 02:47:22,480
Speaker 19: we're not aware of any of that. But you know,

3088
02:47:22,600 --> 02:47:25,320
Speaker 19: the the positive is that you know, not only would

3089
02:47:25,320 --> 02:47:27,840
Speaker 19: Penn State get him as their head coach, but he

3090
02:47:28,360 --> 02:47:30,720
Speaker 19: he would be he would be crippling Ohio State's program,

3091
02:47:31,120 --> 02:47:34,119
Speaker 19: you know, by taking their offensive coordinator. He's a wonderful recruiter.

3092
02:47:34,200 --> 02:47:35,920
Speaker 19: I mean, you could see the types of wide receivers

3093
02:47:35,959 --> 02:47:39,000
Speaker 19: he's bringing on board, and it's entirely possible, you know,

3094
02:47:39,120 --> 02:47:42,039
Speaker 19: with the way the college football is these days, if

3095
02:47:42,080 --> 02:47:44,600
Speaker 19: indeed he goes to Penn State or wherever he may go,

3096
02:47:45,320 --> 02:47:47,360
Speaker 19: that you know that he could take a couple of

3097
02:47:47,400 --> 02:47:50,520
Speaker 19: these wide receivers. They have some five star guys, so

3098
02:47:50,600 --> 02:47:53,280
Speaker 19: there are wide receivers coming in for next year as well.

3099
02:47:53,640 --> 02:47:56,920
Speaker 19: So you know, if Herdline would go, then he obviously

3100
02:47:56,959 --> 02:47:59,320
Speaker 19: could take some of these some of these recruits with it.

3101
02:48:00,080 --> 02:48:03,000
Speaker 2: And of course Brian Hartline was a great wide receiver

3102
02:48:03,200 --> 02:48:05,520
Speaker 2: in his own right. And speaking of great wide receivers,

3103
02:48:06,080 --> 02:48:09,880
Speaker 2: I saw Jeremiah Smith's one had to catch today. This

3104
02:48:10,000 --> 02:48:12,640
Speaker 2: guy's constantly open. They're going to need to find a

3105
02:48:12,680 --> 02:48:15,160
Speaker 2: higher league for him soon. That's called the NFL. But

3106
02:48:15,360 --> 02:48:19,320
Speaker 2: don he's also forty to one to win the Heisman Trophy.

3107
02:48:19,480 --> 02:48:23,360
Speaker 2: Why can't a wide receiver, especially if it's Jeremiah Smith

3108
02:48:23,800 --> 02:48:26,320
Speaker 2: win the Heisman Trophy? Is Ohio State doing anything to

3109
02:48:26,400 --> 02:48:29,240
Speaker 2: promote Jeremiah Smith as an Heisman Trophy candidate?

3110
02:48:30,160 --> 02:48:32,960
Speaker 19: Well, the good problem that Ohio State has is they've

3111
02:48:32,959 --> 02:48:35,840
Speaker 19: got multiple candidates that could qualify for that. You've got

3112
02:48:36,080 --> 02:48:41,120
Speaker 19: downs who's a defensive back who Patricia loves. Now, you've

3113
02:48:41,160 --> 02:48:44,960
Speaker 19: got saying who you've discussed earlier. That is plan outstanding.

3114
02:48:45,160 --> 02:48:48,680
Speaker 19: You've got Smith and every play if you follow him

3115
02:48:49,000 --> 02:48:50,920
Speaker 19: or watch any of the patterns and so forth, he's

3116
02:48:51,000 --> 02:48:54,600
Speaker 19: being at least double teamed on every single play. That's

3117
02:48:54,640 --> 02:48:56,320
Speaker 19: one of the reasons why Tate is having such a

3118
02:48:56,360 --> 02:48:59,879
Speaker 19: great year because they're double and sometimes triple team and Smith,

3119
02:49:00,160 --> 02:49:03,480
Speaker 19: so they can only single cover State and you're seeing that,

3120
02:49:03,640 --> 02:49:05,320
Speaker 19: so they have multiple candidates.

3121
02:49:05,680 --> 02:49:06,480
Speaker 6: It's a good problem to have.

3122
02:49:07,520 --> 02:49:10,320
Speaker 2: Talk with Don Gessick, our Ohio State insider. We had

3123
02:49:10,400 --> 02:49:14,320
Speaker 2: him on last year heading into the playoffs and Ohio

3124
02:49:14,440 --> 02:49:16,920
Speaker 2: State won. It had him on the beginning of this year,

3125
02:49:17,040 --> 02:49:19,160
Speaker 2: and so far down they haven't lost a game since

3126
02:49:19,200 --> 02:49:21,520
Speaker 2: we've had Yon. We had Young after the Michigan game.

3127
02:49:21,560 --> 02:49:24,680
Speaker 2: By the way, Marcot calendar, because four weeks from today

3128
02:49:24,720 --> 02:49:26,360
Speaker 2: we want to have you on after the Michigan game.

3129
02:49:26,680 --> 02:49:28,160
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a minute. I'm glad

3130
02:49:28,200 --> 02:49:32,200
Speaker 2: you brought up Matt Patricia. Clearly, Matt Patricia made his

3131
02:49:32,400 --> 02:49:36,040
Speaker 2: bones under Bill Belichick as a defensive coordinator with the

3132
02:49:36,080 --> 02:49:38,640
Speaker 2: pencil in his ear all those years as part of

3133
02:49:38,800 --> 02:49:42,600
Speaker 2: multiple Super Bowl championship teams went to the Lions. Not

3134
02:49:42,800 --> 02:49:46,959
Speaker 2: so much bounced around little, but you had a pretty

3135
02:49:47,040 --> 02:49:51,560
Speaker 2: darn good defense last year with Jim Knowles. He moves

3136
02:49:51,600 --> 02:49:54,520
Speaker 2: on to Penn State, Matt Patricia comes in and his

3137
02:49:54,760 --> 02:49:59,200
Speaker 2: schemes and his personnel groupings and the way he's able

3138
02:49:59,240 --> 02:50:02,480
Speaker 2: to confuse oppose teams. He I have to give it

3139
02:50:02,560 --> 02:50:06,440
Speaker 2: up to him. Matt Patricia has elevated Ohio State's defense

3140
02:50:06,520 --> 02:50:10,720
Speaker 2: to an entirely different level. Talk about the impact Matt

3141
02:50:10,760 --> 02:50:12,400
Speaker 2: Patricia has had at Ohio State.

3142
02:50:13,520 --> 02:50:17,080
Speaker 19: You know, we're hearing that the players love him, and

3143
02:50:17,440 --> 02:50:21,440
Speaker 19: he apparently really loves Columbus and the whole college environment

3144
02:50:21,480 --> 02:50:23,920
Speaker 19: and so forth. It's kind of interesting, even at the

3145
02:50:24,000 --> 02:50:27,400
Speaker 19: press conferences and after the game yesterday and after multiple

3146
02:50:27,400 --> 02:50:29,360
Speaker 19: grime just you can just tell by looking at a

3147
02:50:29,440 --> 02:50:31,720
Speaker 19: person when they're happy. He's got a smile and he

3148
02:50:31,800 --> 02:50:34,520
Speaker 19: says he's having a good time. You know, he's he's

3149
02:50:34,560 --> 02:50:36,680
Speaker 19: he's just having a great time. And and you know

3150
02:50:36,800 --> 02:50:38,960
Speaker 19: what we were here in too, and you kind of

3151
02:50:39,040 --> 02:50:41,680
Speaker 19: expect it is that, you know, Knowles didn't leave on

3152
02:50:41,800 --> 02:50:46,680
Speaker 19: exactly the best of terms from Ohio State from day's perspective,

3153
02:50:47,360 --> 02:50:50,520
Speaker 19: even though they're not saying anything unprofessional about it, and

3154
02:50:50,640 --> 02:50:53,280
Speaker 19: he didn't live he didn't leave on the best of terms,

3155
02:50:53,720 --> 02:50:56,760
Speaker 19: you know, but apparently Patricia's system is much easier, much

3156
02:50:56,840 --> 02:50:59,600
Speaker 19: more flowing. You know, the players just kind of gravitate

3157
02:50:59,680 --> 02:51:01,440
Speaker 19: into it. But you know he's got to you know,

3158
02:51:01,560 --> 02:51:06,000
Speaker 19: he's got Downs as basically a coach on the field

3159
02:51:06,120 --> 02:51:09,119
Speaker 19: helping him and so forth. And you know, he's got

3160
02:51:09,640 --> 02:51:12,440
Speaker 19: other defensive players and so forth that are doing a

3161
02:51:12,480 --> 02:51:16,680
Speaker 19: great job. And so you know that the kids are

3162
02:51:16,760 --> 02:51:18,960
Speaker 19: really enjoying playing for him. He's really enjoying planning for

3163
02:51:19,080 --> 02:51:21,240
Speaker 19: High State and you know it's been it's been a

3164
02:51:21,280 --> 02:51:24,200
Speaker 19: good flow. But how could you not enjoy coaching at

3165
02:51:24,240 --> 02:51:27,360
Speaker 19: Ohio State when you've got a corner kopeia of great

3166
02:51:27,440 --> 02:51:28,160
Speaker 19: players out there.

3167
02:51:28,920 --> 02:51:32,000
Speaker 2: You know, it feels like, in addition to Caleb Downs

3168
02:51:32,040 --> 02:51:34,520
Speaker 2: and other potential NFL players of ho State has in

3169
02:51:34,560 --> 02:51:38,000
Speaker 2: all Americans, he's brought NFL concepts and the way he's

3170
02:51:38,040 --> 02:51:40,920
Speaker 2: able to disguise looks. Can you speak to that in

3171
02:51:41,040 --> 02:51:43,720
Speaker 2: terms of the style of play that Matt Patricia is

3172
02:51:43,760 --> 02:51:46,200
Speaker 2: bought to Ohio State that even elevated what Jim Knowles had.

3173
02:51:47,080 --> 02:51:49,640
Speaker 19: Well, He's again, it's a more flowing system where the

3174
02:51:49,720 --> 02:51:53,760
Speaker 19: players he adapts as they go along. He tends to. Yesterday,

3175
02:51:53,800 --> 02:51:56,720
Speaker 19: for example, the first half was kind of a basic

3176
02:51:56,840 --> 02:51:59,440
Speaker 19: first half and so forth. And you know, as many

3177
02:51:59,480 --> 02:52:01,840
Speaker 19: people say, you know, a good coach makes changes from

3178
02:52:01,840 --> 02:52:03,879
Speaker 19: week to week. He makes his changes at the half,

3179
02:52:04,640 --> 02:52:08,320
Speaker 19: and so he adjusted at halftime. Penn State scored that

3180
02:52:08,440 --> 02:52:10,880
Speaker 19: touchdown at the tail end of the first half, and

3181
02:52:11,080 --> 02:52:13,680
Speaker 19: he adjusted. So he makes great adjustments, and so forth

3182
02:52:13,720 --> 02:52:16,080
Speaker 19: started blitzing a little bit in the second half. And

3183
02:52:16,280 --> 02:52:17,840
Speaker 19: you know, of course, when Penn State has to pass

3184
02:52:17,920 --> 02:52:19,360
Speaker 19: on every single down, that's not good.

3185
02:52:21,160 --> 02:52:24,240
Speaker 6: So you know, he's been adjusting a lot more.

3186
02:52:24,280 --> 02:52:26,680
Speaker 19: He's given down some latitude to make some changes on

3187
02:52:26,720 --> 02:52:30,000
Speaker 19: the field, and it's it's it's gonna It's worked out

3188
02:52:30,000 --> 02:52:30,880
Speaker 19: great for them, obviously.

3189
02:52:32,160 --> 02:52:35,120
Speaker 2: So your next three opponents are for Due, UCLA and Rutgers.

3190
02:52:35,200 --> 02:52:39,400
Speaker 2: They all have under five hundred records, and you don't

3191
02:52:39,760 --> 02:52:43,000
Speaker 2: you don't take anything for granted. But looming large is

3192
02:52:43,080 --> 02:52:46,640
Speaker 2: Michigan on November twenty ninth. As you know, it's connected

3193
02:52:46,720 --> 02:52:50,320
Speaker 2: that program for many years. This still beat their chest heavily,

3194
02:52:50,920 --> 02:52:54,000
Speaker 2: and Dave Portnoy beats his chest heavily. They're right in

3195
02:52:54,080 --> 02:52:57,240
Speaker 2: the wave. I get it. What's the narrative inside the

3196
02:52:57,320 --> 02:53:00,920
Speaker 2: Avery towert Ohio State about Michigan in the upcoming game

3197
02:53:01,760 --> 02:53:04,240
Speaker 2: that none of us perhaps here. What is Ohio States

3198
02:53:04,320 --> 02:53:06,520
Speaker 2: position on that this year is the game will be

3199
02:53:06,560 --> 02:53:08,880
Speaker 2: played in an arbor. I believe Ohio State will be

3200
02:53:09,160 --> 02:53:10,080
Speaker 2: a pretty big favorite.

3201
02:53:11,040 --> 02:53:14,480
Speaker 19: You know, it's interesting too that obviously Ohio State wants

3202
02:53:14,560 --> 02:53:16,880
Speaker 19: this game, and because of the new playoff format and

3203
02:53:17,000 --> 02:53:20,080
Speaker 19: so forth, it's not the game that it used to

3204
02:53:20,160 --> 02:53:22,440
Speaker 19: be back in the day when they had to win

3205
02:53:22,520 --> 02:53:25,680
Speaker 19: that game to go onto the playoffs for the championship.

3206
02:53:25,959 --> 02:53:28,720
Speaker 19: If they win it, they certainly want it. They certainly

3207
02:53:28,840 --> 02:53:32,440
Speaker 19: absolutely want it. You know, Day wants it, even though

3208
02:53:32,520 --> 02:53:35,320
Speaker 19: this year, unlike last year, he won't be under the

3209
02:53:35,400 --> 02:53:37,800
Speaker 19: gun to win the game or start hearing about to

3210
02:53:38,320 --> 02:53:40,200
Speaker 19: need and to terminate him or anything like that. But

3211
02:53:40,280 --> 02:53:45,000
Speaker 19: they absolutely positively want that game. It's at Michigan, obviously.

3212
02:53:45,280 --> 02:53:48,800
Speaker 19: And the follow up to that is that the following week,

3213
02:53:48,840 --> 02:53:50,680
Speaker 19: assuming that they win, that they would play in the

3214
02:53:51,120 --> 02:53:54,440
Speaker 19: Big Ten championship game, which would be in Indiana. Lucas

3215
02:53:54,520 --> 02:53:58,960
Speaker 19: Oil and Indiana would be presumably their opponent there, so

3216
02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:01,760
Speaker 19: they'd basically playing back to back away games in very

3217
02:54:01,800 --> 02:54:02,680
Speaker 19: hostile environments.

3218
02:54:03,200 --> 02:54:06,160
Speaker 2: Well, there's an interesting angle this year too, So Michigan

3219
02:54:06,480 --> 02:54:09,480
Speaker 2: has a buy coming up. Then they go to Northwestern

3220
02:54:09,600 --> 02:54:14,440
Speaker 2: and Maryland, both road games to complete their schedule. Now

3221
02:54:14,520 --> 02:54:16,119
Speaker 2: we don't know what's going to happen in those games,

3222
02:54:16,200 --> 02:54:20,240
Speaker 2: but for purposes of this conversation, Michigan's five and one

3223
02:54:20,480 --> 02:54:22,960
Speaker 2: in conference play, they would be seven to one. If

3224
02:54:22,959 --> 02:54:26,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State runs the table, there'll be eight to no.

3225
02:54:26,800 --> 02:54:29,200
Speaker 2: That means a Michigan Ohio State game would feature an

3226
02:54:29,200 --> 02:54:32,640
Speaker 2: eight zero conference team Ohio State in a seven to

3227
02:54:32,720 --> 02:54:36,440
Speaker 2: one Michigan team. If Michigan were hypothetically to win that game,

3228
02:54:37,240 --> 02:54:41,160
Speaker 2: Michigan would actually advance to the Big Ten championship game.

3229
02:54:41,400 --> 02:54:43,560
Speaker 2: I believe Ohiose State will still certainly make the playoffs,

3230
02:54:43,920 --> 02:54:46,840
Speaker 2: but Michigan would advance if that were to happen. Has

3231
02:54:46,879 --> 02:54:48,360
Speaker 2: any of that been talked about? It all?

3232
02:54:49,720 --> 02:54:52,760
Speaker 19: Very little has been talked about that. On a negative side,

3233
02:54:53,000 --> 02:54:55,880
Speaker 19: It's been mostly positive. You know, let's beat them, let's

3234
02:54:55,879 --> 02:54:59,760
Speaker 19: get on and frankly, even if that situation were to happen,

3235
02:55:00,520 --> 02:55:04,560
Speaker 19: wouldn't be good in the Ohio State size, having basically

3236
02:55:04,640 --> 02:55:07,520
Speaker 19: a buye going into the playoffs if they don't make

3237
02:55:07,600 --> 02:55:11,600
Speaker 19: the Big Ten championship game would be very similar to

3238
02:55:12,080 --> 02:55:12,720
Speaker 19: previous years.

3239
02:55:13,360 --> 02:55:15,640
Speaker 2: Well, and that was your I'll give you credit. That

3240
02:55:15,720 --> 02:55:18,640
Speaker 2: was your point last year because after the Michigan game,

3241
02:55:19,320 --> 02:55:21,920
Speaker 2: in spite of the fact that it's a devastating loss,

3242
02:55:22,040 --> 02:55:24,959
Speaker 2: believe me, I covered ten of those, it's worse than

3243
02:55:25,040 --> 02:55:26,520
Speaker 2: death because they have to live with it for a year.

3244
02:55:26,800 --> 02:55:30,600
Speaker 2: The bottom line is this. You aptly pointed out that

3245
02:55:30,800 --> 02:55:33,800
Speaker 2: still all the rest of Ohio State's goals were against him,

3246
02:55:34,360 --> 02:55:37,480
Speaker 2: and they proceeded to trunce through the playoffs. One of

3247
02:55:37,520 --> 02:55:39,400
Speaker 2: the things you also pointed out last year ahead of

3248
02:55:39,440 --> 02:55:42,039
Speaker 2: the curve was Ohio State very much had their eye

3249
02:55:42,080 --> 02:55:42,640
Speaker 2: in Indiana.

3250
02:55:43,240 --> 02:55:43,360
Speaker 9: Now.

3251
02:55:43,760 --> 02:55:46,880
Speaker 2: They handled Indiana last year, and Indiana's only two losses

3252
02:55:46,959 --> 02:55:50,040
Speaker 2: under Kurtzignetti were two Ohio State and two Notre Dame,

3253
02:55:50,440 --> 02:55:54,720
Speaker 2: the two teams who played for the National championship. Don

3254
02:55:54,840 --> 02:55:56,480
Speaker 2: I want to run a couple of things by and

3255
02:55:56,520 --> 02:55:58,800
Speaker 2: tell me if you do your disagree. I think this

3256
02:55:58,959 --> 02:56:01,840
Speaker 2: Indiana team is way better. They've upgraded a quarterback, You've

3257
02:56:01,840 --> 02:56:05,480
Speaker 2: got two NFL wide receivers in Sarratt and Omar Cooper.

3258
02:56:05,520 --> 02:56:08,360
Speaker 2: You got two NFL lockdown cornerbacks, and they just get

3259
02:56:08,400 --> 02:56:10,000
Speaker 2: after it the way they set the edges and more

3260
02:56:10,080 --> 02:56:15,240
Speaker 2: violent against Oregon. What kind of challenges does Kurt Signetti

3261
02:56:15,320 --> 02:56:18,880
Speaker 2: and Indiana present for Ohio State. Because I go on

3262
02:56:18,959 --> 02:56:21,720
Speaker 2: a limb, I believe Ohio State will be Michigan and

3263
02:56:21,800 --> 02:56:24,440
Speaker 2: it will be Indiana and Ohio State in the Big

3264
02:56:24,560 --> 02:56:30,000
Speaker 2: Ten Conference championship game. Talk about your view of Indiana

3265
02:56:30,080 --> 02:56:32,200
Speaker 2: from the isle of the Ohio State prism.

3266
02:56:33,440 --> 02:56:35,720
Speaker 19: Well, it certainly would be a challenge for Ohio State.

3267
02:56:35,920 --> 02:56:38,640
Speaker 19: They are able to pass, they are able to put

3268
02:56:38,720 --> 02:56:42,120
Speaker 19: up points, and it will certainly be a unique situation

3269
02:56:42,400 --> 02:56:44,960
Speaker 19: the opponents at Ohio State has had up to this

3270
02:56:45,080 --> 02:56:47,400
Speaker 19: point this year that have not been able to put

3271
02:56:47,440 --> 02:56:49,200
Speaker 19: up a lot of points. So well, First and foremost

3272
02:56:49,320 --> 02:56:51,040
Speaker 19: is the fact that a lot of State's defense is

3273
02:56:51,160 --> 02:56:54,720
Speaker 19: very very good. But the fact that Indiana has the

3274
02:56:54,760 --> 02:56:57,720
Speaker 19: ability to pass. They have stud receivers as you've just discussed,

3275
02:56:58,200 --> 02:56:59,880
Speaker 19: and you know they'll be able to put up some

3276
02:57:00,040 --> 02:57:02,800
Speaker 19: point so uh, you know, Ohio State, it'll put up

3277
02:57:02,800 --> 02:57:05,640
Speaker 19: their normal thirty five. Uh, but it'll it'll be a

3278
02:57:05,720 --> 02:57:08,520
Speaker 19: real challenge. It'll be more of an offensive game. I'm

3279
02:57:08,560 --> 02:57:11,959
Speaker 19: sure Patricia would be looking forward to uh scheming against

3280
02:57:12,040 --> 02:57:15,200
Speaker 19: the A offense at you know, there'll be winging the ball.

3281
02:57:15,400 --> 02:57:18,039
Speaker 19: So it'll be it'll be very exciting for the fans,

3282
02:57:18,280 --> 02:57:20,760
Speaker 19: and it'll be uh, it'll be a great experience, and

3283
02:57:20,800 --> 02:57:24,199
Speaker 19: it will certainly be interesting to see how Indiana adjusts

3284
02:57:24,640 --> 02:57:28,080
Speaker 19: to the pressure of you know, last year, they kind

3285
02:57:28,120 --> 02:57:31,040
Speaker 19: of got in as an afterthought if you want. It's

3286
02:57:31,160 --> 02:57:33,640
Speaker 19: kind of a cruel term to say, but they kind

3287
02:57:33,680 --> 02:57:35,720
Speaker 19: of got in. It was a nice exciting thingle this year,

3288
02:57:35,760 --> 02:57:38,720
Speaker 19: there's gonna have expectations attached to them being in the playoffs,

3289
02:57:39,280 --> 02:57:42,840
Speaker 19: and so that brings a significant additional pressure that they

3290
02:57:42,879 --> 02:57:45,360
Speaker 19: may or may not be prepared for, you know, whereas

3291
02:57:45,440 --> 02:57:49,440
Speaker 19: Ohio State has been in this many times and you know,

3292
02:57:49,600 --> 02:57:51,480
Speaker 19: so it it certainly will be an exciting game, and

3293
02:57:51,520 --> 02:57:54,320
Speaker 19: I'm sure that Ohio State will be looking forward to that,

3294
02:57:55,840 --> 02:57:58,720
Speaker 19: especially after the Michigan game, and assuming your thoughts are

3295
02:57:58,760 --> 02:58:01,440
Speaker 19: correct as our Ohio State thoughts that they would beat Michigan,

3296
02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:04,039
Speaker 19: you know, hopefully they wouldn't have a little mini letdown

3297
02:58:04,160 --> 02:58:06,760
Speaker 19: after that game and after finally beating Michigan having a

3298
02:58:07,240 --> 02:58:10,320
Speaker 19: letdown to put the Indiana game. But it'll be a

3299
02:58:10,400 --> 02:58:11,040
Speaker 19: very exciting game.

3300
02:58:11,520 --> 02:58:16,480
Speaker 2: So just to wrap it, up. Your premise is duly noted.

3301
02:58:17,000 --> 02:58:20,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State lives here. They've been in this moment, I mean,

3302
02:58:20,240 --> 02:58:23,000
Speaker 2: going back fifty years. This is all really new to Indiana.

3303
02:58:23,560 --> 02:58:25,400
Speaker 2: As good as they are, as talented as they are.

3304
02:58:25,800 --> 02:58:27,560
Speaker 2: When you put them on the big stage, we'll see

3305
02:58:27,720 --> 02:58:30,680
Speaker 2: what happens. Ohio State's been there. Not that Indiana can't

3306
02:58:30,760 --> 02:58:32,640
Speaker 2: run the race, but they're going to have to prove

3307
02:58:32,680 --> 02:58:34,640
Speaker 2: it like Ohio State did, and I think to your point,

3308
02:58:35,120 --> 02:58:38,920
Speaker 2: it probably will be a shootout. Indiana's put up some

3309
02:58:39,000 --> 02:58:41,360
Speaker 2: big numbers this year, so we shall see. So Don,

3310
02:58:41,680 --> 02:58:45,120
Speaker 2: great stuff again. Mark your calendar four weeks from now,

3311
02:58:46,080 --> 02:58:47,920
Speaker 2: as we sit here, four weeks from now, we'll have

3312
02:58:48,160 --> 02:58:52,960
Speaker 2: the it will have the final result of the twenty

3313
02:58:53,080 --> 02:58:56,600
Speaker 2: twenty five iteration of the Ohio State Michigan War as

3314
02:58:56,680 --> 02:58:59,400
Speaker 2: it were, and we'll have to break it down that Sunday.

3315
02:58:59,400 --> 02:59:02,520
Speaker 19: Okay, Don Bernie, it's always great talking to you. Thanks

3316
02:59:02,520 --> 02:59:03,200
Speaker 19: again for having me.

3317
02:59:03,560 --> 02:59:06,720
Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate it. Don Gessick from Columbus, Ohio, our

3318
02:59:06,760 --> 02:59:10,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State insider. I remember him last year after they

3319
02:59:10,680 --> 02:59:13,560
Speaker 2: lost to Michigan, people were saying they were going to

3320
02:59:13,600 --> 02:59:15,920
Speaker 2: fire Ryan Day. He said, no, that ain't gonna happen.

3321
02:59:16,240 --> 02:59:18,400
Speaker 2: If you do that, you'd you'd lose a bunch of

3322
02:59:18,480 --> 02:59:21,360
Speaker 2: recruits and then blow the program up. It would not

3323
02:59:21,520 --> 02:59:23,360
Speaker 2: it would not be good. Of course it didn't happen,

3324
02:59:23,440 --> 02:59:26,920
Speaker 2: And he also pointed out that Ohio State still had

3325
02:59:27,360 --> 02:59:30,400
Speaker 2: their goals in front of them, and they certainly did

3326
02:59:30,920 --> 02:59:34,200
Speaker 2: and they went on to win the national championship in

3327
02:59:34,480 --> 02:59:36,800
Speaker 2: fine style. He also pointed out that he thought Indiana

3328
02:59:36,959 --> 02:59:38,840
Speaker 2: was a tremendous up and becoming team in lo and

3329
02:59:38,920 --> 02:59:43,400
Speaker 2: behold when you know it, it looks like it. You look.

3330
02:59:43,959 --> 02:59:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not dis Michigan in the least. Do

3331
02:59:47,879 --> 02:59:49,640
Speaker 2: I think they'll beat Ohio State this year in the

3332
02:59:49,680 --> 02:59:53,680
Speaker 2: Big House? Unlikely. If they don't, it's going to be Michigan.

3333
02:59:53,760 --> 02:59:55,560
Speaker 2: It's going to be Ohio State in Indiana. And that's

3334
02:59:55,600 --> 02:59:57,880
Speaker 2: going to be the matchup that Donald was looking at you,

3335
02:59:58,000 --> 03:00:00,879
Speaker 2: so we'll know for we Now coming up, we got

3336
03:00:01,000 --> 03:00:04,120
Speaker 2: to get to this. There's a bunch of candidates that

3337
03:00:04,240 --> 03:00:11,200
Speaker 2: allegedly are listed to potentially replace Brian Kelly. Now I

3338
03:00:11,280 --> 03:00:14,840
Speaker 2: mean a bunch lsu is a very sought after job

3339
03:00:14,879 --> 03:00:16,920
Speaker 2: and you get the governor involved. Now, they just fired

3340
03:00:16,920 --> 03:00:19,160
Speaker 2: the athletic director. Could it be any more of a

3341
03:00:19,240 --> 03:00:21,080
Speaker 2: mess there? But it is a hell of a job

3342
03:00:21,160 --> 03:00:23,560
Speaker 2: for the right person. I mean, but you got to

3343
03:00:23,600 --> 03:00:27,520
Speaker 2: be the right person. The last three at Orgonon, less Miles,

3344
03:00:29,680 --> 03:00:35,720
Speaker 2: and well, the last three coaches won a national championship

3345
03:00:35,760 --> 03:00:39,879
Speaker 2: in their fourth year. Actually the last three national champions

3346
03:00:40,200 --> 03:00:42,240
Speaker 2: it was Nick Saban at Orgeron and less Miles. The

3347
03:00:42,320 --> 03:00:45,320
Speaker 2: point of the matter is this, this was Brian Kelly's

3348
03:00:45,360 --> 03:00:48,080
Speaker 2: fourth year and it didn't happen. So whoever gets there

3349
03:00:48,160 --> 03:00:51,480
Speaker 2: is going to have those expectations. And with all these openings.

3350

3369
03:01:51,520 --> 03:01:55,920
Speaker 2: my fourth year doing this and no better appropriate bumper.

3370
03:01:56,720 --> 03:02:00,680
Speaker 2: Then that's exactly what happened to Brian Kelly. Hit the road,

3371
03:02:00,760 --> 03:02:04,880
Speaker 2: jack and take your fifty three million. As LSU looks

3372
03:02:05,240 --> 03:02:07,720
Speaker 2: for a new coach, and believe it, there's no shortage

3373
03:02:07,760 --> 03:02:10,320
Speaker 2: of candidates that have been mentioned. Top of the list

3374
03:02:11,840 --> 03:02:14,119
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin. He's going to be the top target mostly

3375
03:02:14,400 --> 03:02:18,039
Speaker 2: for all the marquee openings because he's a longtime head coach,

3376
03:02:18,720 --> 03:02:21,080
Speaker 2: knows what it takes to compete in the SEC. He

3377
03:02:21,200 --> 03:02:23,880
Speaker 2: understands how to develop a quarterback, and he has a

3378
03:02:24,320 --> 03:02:28,480
Speaker 2: personality that kind of fits the narrative right. He's unabashed,

3379
03:02:29,040 --> 03:02:32,640
Speaker 2: He'll stir the pot. He'll probably be a top choice

3380
03:02:32,680 --> 03:02:35,440
Speaker 2: at Florida as well. The question is he's kind of

3381
03:02:35,480 --> 03:02:37,640
Speaker 2: got a maid there, he's kind of got made there

3382
03:02:37,680 --> 03:02:39,520
Speaker 2: in Oxford, Mississippi. I think he really wants to go.

3383
03:02:41,520 --> 03:02:44,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, you can't improve unhappy. I think

3384
03:02:44,600 --> 03:02:47,320
Speaker 2: he's happy there. He's comfortable there. And oh, by the way,

3385
03:02:47,440 --> 03:02:49,560
Speaker 2: he's got to be very comfortable. Who's doing the hiring.

3386
03:02:49,600 --> 03:02:53,120
Speaker 2: Who's doing the hiring at LSU. I know that they

3387
03:02:53,160 --> 03:02:55,039
Speaker 2: got rid of their ad, and they've they've named another

3388
03:02:55,120 --> 03:02:57,920
Speaker 2: gentleman who's been a former player there, etc. The governor

3389
03:02:58,040 --> 03:03:01,120
Speaker 2: is involved, and all right, you get the picture at

3390
03:03:01,120 --> 03:03:03,120
Speaker 2: the end of the day. I'm if I don't do

3391
03:03:03,200 --> 03:03:04,880
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Lany Kiff or no, neither

3392
03:03:04,959 --> 03:03:07,840
Speaker 2: do I think it will be Dan Lanning, who's also mentioned. Okay,

3393
03:03:09,080 --> 03:03:14,320
Speaker 2: they fired their ad Woodward. He would target a big name,

3394
03:03:15,120 --> 03:03:17,000
Speaker 2: and Lanning is the big name I think he would

3395
03:03:17,000 --> 03:03:19,360
Speaker 2: have targeted. But Woodward's no longer there. And again there's

3396
03:03:19,440 --> 03:03:22,800
Speaker 2: questions why would Dan Lanning leave Eugene, Oregon for a

3397
03:03:22,920 --> 03:03:27,880
Speaker 2: job like LSU. He's got a massive buyout and and

3398
03:03:28,680 --> 03:03:32,680
Speaker 2: you know it's I think Dan Lanning's staying. And from

3399
03:03:32,720 --> 03:03:34,119
Speaker 2: what I'm here and he may have told people he's

3400
03:03:34,120 --> 03:03:37,160
Speaker 2: going nowhere as well. Now this third name you may

3401
03:03:37,240 --> 03:03:40,560
Speaker 2: not jump at you immediately, but if you stop and

3402
03:03:40,600 --> 03:03:43,000
Speaker 2: think about it for a minute, you'll remember the name.

3403
03:03:43,480 --> 03:03:47,840
Speaker 2: He's currently the Buffalo Bill's offensive coordinator. It's Joe Brady. Now,

3404
03:03:47,879 --> 03:03:51,080
Speaker 2: I'm guessing the LSU boosters are going to be maybe

3405
03:03:51,200 --> 03:03:53,360
Speaker 2: ruffling some feathers to try to get this guy to

3406
03:03:53,760 --> 03:03:58,480
Speaker 2: yes return to LSU. He was part of one of

3407
03:03:58,560 --> 03:04:01,000
Speaker 2: the greatest college football teams of all time. That's the

3408
03:04:01,080 --> 03:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Joel Burrow team with those great wide receivers. National Championship,

3409
03:04:05,080 --> 03:04:08,440
Speaker 2: no question. Joe Brady's a bright offensive mind. He's been

3410
03:04:08,560 --> 03:04:11,520
Speaker 2: up for several gigs in the NFL in many years

3411
03:04:11,640 --> 03:04:14,040
Speaker 2: recent years, and it'll be a top candidate I think

3412
03:04:14,440 --> 03:04:17,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL this year. Would he consider a move

3413
03:04:17,959 --> 03:04:23,800
Speaker 2: back to college Ala Jim Harbaugh. Now, it's possible. I

3414
03:04:23,879 --> 03:04:29,040
Speaker 2: think LSU will inquire, but I don't think the school

3415
03:04:31,320 --> 03:04:33,760
Speaker 2: will get him, no matter how much money they throw

3416
03:04:33,800 --> 03:04:35,680
Speaker 2: at him, because I just don't think he's going back

3417
03:04:35,720 --> 03:04:39,800
Speaker 2: there again. These are guesses now. Jeff brom the Louisville

3418
03:04:39,800 --> 03:04:42,880
Speaker 2: head coach, he's royalty in Louisville. He has his entire family,

3419
03:04:42,959 --> 03:04:46,520
Speaker 2: tide of the university. He's on the list of potential candidates.

3420
03:04:46,560 --> 03:04:48,880
Speaker 2: But again, would he give up everything he has to

3421
03:04:49,000 --> 03:04:51,680
Speaker 2: coach in the SEC at a place that could, you know,

3422
03:04:52,400 --> 03:04:57,720
Speaker 2: maybe give him a national title. Louisville's an excellent football program,

3423
03:04:57,800 --> 03:05:00,960
Speaker 2: They're not going to win a national title. Would Brohm

3424
03:05:01,080 --> 03:05:04,760
Speaker 2: consider it? I think he'd consider it, all right, So

3425
03:05:05,760 --> 03:05:08,920
Speaker 2: that's a maybe. I think Brady's no Landing's no Kiffings. No.

3426
03:05:09,200 --> 03:05:12,720
Speaker 2: How about ht Lashley at SMU fresh office solid win

3427
03:05:14,000 --> 03:05:17,640
Speaker 2: at home against Miami Saturday, is a twelve point home underdog.

3428
03:05:18,160 --> 03:05:21,720
Speaker 2: He's a tremendous twenty five and foreign conference play. He

3429
03:05:21,879 --> 03:05:25,520
Speaker 2: lost his first ACC game just a couple of weeks ago.

3430
03:05:26,200 --> 03:05:29,240
Speaker 2: He already has one College Football Playoff appearance. He knows

3431
03:05:29,280 --> 03:05:32,039
Speaker 2: how to recruit the state of Texas, and he knows

3432
03:05:32,080 --> 03:05:35,120
Speaker 2: how to recruit the Deep South. And he has previous

3433
03:05:35,200 --> 03:05:41,240
Speaker 2: experience as an assistant at Auburn. Now, if Auburn moves

3434
03:05:41,280 --> 03:05:43,440
Speaker 2: on from Hugh Freeze, and there's no guarantee they will,

3435
03:05:44,160 --> 03:05:47,760
Speaker 2: I gotta believe lastly will be a top choice at Auburn.

3436
03:05:48,440 --> 03:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Arkansas is his alma mater, But things are set up

3437
03:05:53,080 --> 03:05:57,000
Speaker 2: much better to win at LSU, would lashly go. He's

3438
03:05:57,120 --> 03:05:59,200
Speaker 2: very comfortable though in Texas, but this could be one

3439
03:05:59,200 --> 03:06:02,280
Speaker 2: of the few jobs that's once in a lifetime that

3440
03:06:02,400 --> 03:06:06,920
Speaker 2: turns his head. So he listens and realizes it potentially

3441
03:06:06,959 --> 03:06:09,080
Speaker 2: gives him the best chance to win a national championship.

3442
03:06:09,080 --> 03:06:12,240
Speaker 2: But see, that's the fatal trap that Brian Kelly felt

3443
03:06:12,320 --> 03:06:15,560
Speaker 2: and fell into. He got to the championship game twice

3444
03:06:15,600 --> 03:06:17,280
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame. He said, boy, when get the LSU,

3445
03:06:17,320 --> 03:06:19,600
Speaker 2: with those resources and those athletes in the South, I

3446
03:06:19,720 --> 03:06:21,879
Speaker 2: can finish what I started at Notre Dame. Didn't work?

3447
03:06:21,920 --> 03:06:26,959
Speaker 2: Did it didn't work? Now here's another terrific coach. He's

3448
03:06:27,000 --> 03:06:31,680
Speaker 2: at Missouri, Eli Drinkwitz. I would say, right now, if

3449
03:06:32,240 --> 03:06:34,400
Speaker 2: he would be off for the job, I just check that.

3450
03:06:34,520 --> 03:06:36,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody's gonna be off for the job,

3451
03:06:36,920 --> 03:06:39,640
Speaker 2: but I would say he'd be a choice after Lane Kiffin.

3452
03:06:39,720 --> 03:06:42,879
Speaker 2: If Kiffen decides he doesn't want to go there, okay,

3453
03:06:42,920 --> 03:06:45,400
Speaker 2: so he'd be a second choice. But he's not only

3454
03:06:45,480 --> 03:06:48,360
Speaker 2: built Missouri up into a quality top twenty five contender,

3455
03:06:49,040 --> 03:06:51,160
Speaker 2: but he's really been ahead of the curve on nil

3456
03:06:51,400 --> 03:06:54,560
Speaker 2: and he manages the transfer, portable portal, as good as

3457
03:06:54,600 --> 03:06:57,720
Speaker 2: you can, as good as anybody, and he knows how

3458
03:06:57,720 --> 03:07:01,520
Speaker 2: to develop quarterbacks. He's also quite a bit different than

3459
03:07:01,800 --> 03:07:05,360
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly, and he is a type of guy who's

3460
03:07:05,400 --> 03:07:10,360
Speaker 2: got the opposite of Kelly's personality. We're talking inside the

3461
03:07:10,400 --> 03:07:12,560
Speaker 2: building with players and outside the building in the community.

3462
03:07:13,400 --> 03:07:17,400
Speaker 2: So that's something that might resonate well with the faithful

3463
03:07:17,480 --> 03:07:21,240
Speaker 2: there at LSU. Can't rule that out. But you just

3464
03:07:21,320 --> 03:07:27,640
Speaker 2: don't know Willie Fritz. He is, you know, almost seventy

3465
03:07:27,720 --> 03:07:31,000
Speaker 2: years old, but he's been a winner everywhere he goes,

3466
03:07:31,480 --> 03:07:34,360
Speaker 2: and he you know, his first year at Houston not

3467
03:07:34,480 --> 03:07:38,360
Speaker 2: so much, but Houston's done well. His second year he

3468
03:07:38,480 --> 03:07:40,560
Speaker 2: made two lane relevant, he took the school to the

3469
03:07:40,600 --> 03:07:44,280
Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl in his first powerful job. He proved he

3470
03:07:44,320 --> 03:07:47,240
Speaker 2: could recruit with anybody. And he's got one of the

3471
03:07:47,280 --> 03:07:50,440
Speaker 2: top quarterbacks in the country next year committing to go

3472
03:07:50,600 --> 03:07:54,920
Speaker 2: to Houston. So I don't Willie Fritz. I think would

3473
03:07:54,959 --> 03:07:57,400
Speaker 2: be crazy to go down to LSU in the middle

3474
03:07:57,400 --> 03:07:59,600
Speaker 2: of that mess. And I think he's got some good

3475
03:07:59,600 --> 03:08:03,120
Speaker 2: stuff with Houston. But I really think, though, again, if

3476
03:08:03,160 --> 03:08:05,920
Speaker 2: you heard what that governor said, our goal is to

3477
03:08:06,040 --> 03:08:08,840
Speaker 2: get I forget what the name of the representative was

3478
03:08:08,879 --> 03:08:11,640
Speaker 2: the former player there. He said, our goal is for

3479
03:08:11,800 --> 03:08:14,360
Speaker 2: LSU to be in the College Football Playoff every year.

3480
03:08:15,080 --> 03:08:17,560
Speaker 2: There's twelve teams that get in. Now we want LSU

3481
03:08:17,720 --> 03:08:23,760
Speaker 2: in there every year. Well, I think with Wullie Fritz

3482
03:08:23,760 --> 03:08:28,840
Speaker 2: as their coach and his offensive innovativeness innovation, I think

3483
03:08:28,879 --> 03:08:32,760
Speaker 2: they would be Do we dare mention Dabbos Sweeney? What's

3484
03:08:32,760 --> 03:08:34,400
Speaker 2: the old sitting. If you can't beat him, join him.

3485
03:08:35,240 --> 03:08:38,400
Speaker 2: Dablos Sweeney is just one of three active coaches with

3486
03:08:38,560 --> 03:08:42,520
Speaker 2: a national championship, and he would check actually a number

3487
03:08:42,520 --> 03:08:45,600
Speaker 2: of the boxes that LSU is looking for in terms

3488
03:08:45,640 --> 03:08:50,279
Speaker 2: of their foundations and building and rebuilding a national championship

3489
03:08:50,320 --> 03:08:55,640
Speaker 2: caliber football program. Now, I think Dablosweeney would have a

3490
03:08:55,680 --> 03:08:57,800
Speaker 2: little bit more convincing to do at LSU than some

3491
03:08:57,879 --> 03:09:01,240
Speaker 2: of the other candidates I've mentioned. And he'd also have

3492
03:09:01,400 --> 03:09:04,720
Speaker 2: to relinquish some power and bring in a strong general manager,

3493
03:09:04,760 --> 03:09:07,480
Speaker 2: which is the new rage now in college football to

3494
03:09:07,520 --> 03:09:10,000
Speaker 2: help build his roster. He'd have to be a lot

3495
03:09:10,040 --> 03:09:13,480
Speaker 2: more willing to utilize the transfer portal than he does currently.

3496
03:09:14,360 --> 03:09:16,920
Speaker 2: He's been kind of dragged into that kicking and screaming

3497
03:09:17,720 --> 03:09:19,840
Speaker 2: I need to bloom is off the rose right now

3498
03:09:19,920 --> 03:09:24,960
Speaker 2: with Dapolsweeney. But at the same time, again, he's got

3499
03:09:25,080 --> 03:09:31,760
Speaker 2: national championship resume. That speaks a lot. Okay, a young guy. Now,

3500
03:09:32,080 --> 03:09:34,200
Speaker 2: if I had my choice of any of these guys,

3501
03:09:34,280 --> 03:09:37,360
Speaker 2: this might be the guy I would select. And it's

3502
03:09:37,560 --> 03:09:40,880
Speaker 2: Kenny Dillingham out of Arizona State. And you saw what

3503
03:09:40,920 --> 03:09:42,600
Speaker 2: they did last year in the playoff. No one took

3504
03:09:42,680 --> 03:09:45,920
Speaker 2: him seriously and yeah he had camp scattible. They took

3505
03:09:46,000 --> 03:09:51,040
Speaker 2: Texas to task, could have easily beaten Texas. See Kenny

3506
03:09:51,120 --> 03:09:54,320
Speaker 2: Dillingham is the prototype of what it's like to be

3507
03:09:54,400 --> 03:09:58,119
Speaker 2: a head coach in this current era of college football.

3508
03:10:00,240 --> 03:10:06,240
Speaker 2: He is genuinely passionate about fostering and building relationships and

3509
03:10:06,360 --> 03:10:09,880
Speaker 2: bonds and relating to his players and his community and

3510
03:10:10,280 --> 03:10:12,840
Speaker 2: the faculty in staff. He understand what it takes to win.

3511
03:10:13,600 --> 03:10:17,320
Speaker 2: He's done tremendously well on the field, turning around to

3512
03:10:17,320 --> 03:10:20,720
Speaker 2: Arizona State and making Arizona State into a genuine national power.

3513
03:10:20,800 --> 03:10:23,160
Speaker 2: Look that got to the playoffs last year. Okay they

3514
03:10:23,240 --> 03:10:25,520
Speaker 2: had they could have easily beaten Texas. I already said that.

3515
03:10:26,400 --> 03:10:26,600
Speaker 6: Now.

3516
03:10:27,240 --> 03:10:30,320
Speaker 2: The one drawback though, is if you're LSU and you

3517
03:10:30,400 --> 03:10:33,360
Speaker 2: want Kenny Dillingham. He grew up in the Phoenix area

3518
03:10:33,400 --> 03:10:37,720
Speaker 2: and he went to school of Arizona State. However, to me,

3519
03:10:37,840 --> 03:10:42,200
Speaker 2: he seems like enough of a go getter that a

3520
03:10:42,360 --> 03:10:44,840
Speaker 2: job like LSU might only tap you on the shoulder

3521
03:10:44,920 --> 03:10:47,520
Speaker 2: once in a lifetime and he might think hard about it.

3522
03:10:47,560 --> 03:10:49,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I gotta tell you, I think

3523
03:10:49,720 --> 03:10:53,320
Speaker 2: that's a guy who wouldn't who wouldn't and I say

3524
03:10:53,400 --> 03:10:56,959
Speaker 2: this ever so carefully piss everybody off, like Brian Kelly

3525
03:10:57,120 --> 03:10:59,840
Speaker 2: ostensively did not even knowing all the players' names. It

3526
03:11:00,360 --> 03:11:02,760
Speaker 2: just at the end of the day they said it

3527
03:11:03,040 --> 03:11:08,320
Speaker 2: just wasn't a fit. Period. Now the list gets a

3528
03:11:08,360 --> 03:11:11,520
Speaker 2: little wacky here because somehow Lincoln Riley is on the list.

3529
03:11:11,959 --> 03:11:18,680
Speaker 2: See before LSU hired Brian Kelly, Lincoln Riley, who I

3530
03:11:18,720 --> 03:11:21,080
Speaker 2: believe was still at Oklahoma at the time, he was

3531
03:11:21,160 --> 03:11:25,000
Speaker 2: one of the people LSU had their sights set on. Okay,

3532
03:11:26,040 --> 03:11:28,160
Speaker 2: do they take a second bite at the apple and

3533
03:11:28,440 --> 03:11:35,039
Speaker 2: try to maybe take a run at Lincoln Riley even

3534
03:11:35,080 --> 03:11:39,400
Speaker 2: though he's just now seemingly extensively trying to figure out

3535
03:11:39,440 --> 03:11:43,160
Speaker 2: and navigate these big ten waters be he went to Nebraska.

3536
03:11:43,200 --> 03:11:45,120
Speaker 2: We'll see how they finished their season. You got a

3537
03:11:45,160 --> 03:11:50,440
Speaker 2: waste to go right and no by no stretches is

3538
03:11:50,720 --> 03:11:55,080
Speaker 2: USC a lot to make the playoffs. So we'll see. Look,

3539
03:11:55,480 --> 03:11:57,840
Speaker 2: there's no denying Lincoln Riley is a great play caller.

3540
03:11:58,720 --> 03:12:01,800
Speaker 2: He would probably bring the offense that excites LSU people.

3541
03:12:02,400 --> 03:12:06,040
Speaker 2: But defensively, what's been there. Bugaboo. Defense is a little

3542
03:12:06,040 --> 03:12:07,920
Speaker 2: better at USC this year than the past years, but

3543
03:12:08,280 --> 03:12:10,720
Speaker 2: it was a low bar and that's always been his achilles.

3544
03:12:11,760 --> 03:12:14,560
Speaker 2: Now here's a couple of names under the radar, really

3545
03:12:14,640 --> 03:12:16,400
Speaker 2: under the radar. The head coach of Tulane, a guy

3546
03:12:16,400 --> 03:12:21,680
Speaker 2: by the name of John Thumral. All Right, I would

3547
03:12:21,760 --> 03:12:27,000
Speaker 2: say there will be some candidates that eliminate themselves for

3548
03:12:27,120 --> 03:12:33,359
Speaker 2: various reasons, or perhaps there is a There are schools

3549
03:12:33,879 --> 03:12:36,640
Speaker 2: that would be averse to hiring a coach from Tulane

3550
03:12:36,800 --> 03:12:41,480
Speaker 2: to take over a big time gig. But from people

3551
03:12:41,520 --> 03:12:43,840
Speaker 2: who know John Sumral, they say he is ready for

3552
03:12:43,920 --> 03:12:47,440
Speaker 2: a big time SEC gig. He has a reputation as

3553
03:12:47,480 --> 03:12:50,720
Speaker 2: a tremendous recruiter or a relentless recruiter. He knows the

3554
03:12:50,760 --> 03:12:54,840
Speaker 2: southern region and remember Tulane's right there in New Orleans.

3555
03:12:54,879 --> 03:12:59,320
Speaker 2: He's already down there, and he has recruited and coached

3556
03:12:59,400 --> 03:13:03,240
Speaker 2: and presided over the hard nosed teams that would frankly

3557
03:13:04,480 --> 03:13:05,400
Speaker 2: represent LSU.

3558
03:13:05,480 --> 03:13:05,680
Speaker 6: Well.

3559
03:13:07,080 --> 03:13:10,120
Speaker 2: He's a native of Alabama, and one thing he has

3560
03:13:10,440 --> 03:13:13,560
Speaker 2: that I think LSU needs is he's a defensive minded coach.

3561
03:13:13,920 --> 03:13:15,840
Speaker 2: I mean ulics. He just gave up forty nine points.

3562
03:13:16,920 --> 03:13:19,360
Speaker 2: Let you know, the other day to Texas Saint It

3563
03:13:19,480 --> 03:13:24,880
Speaker 2: just didn't go well, did it. So don't don't go

3564
03:13:25,040 --> 03:13:27,959
Speaker 2: to sleep on someone under the radar like a John

3565
03:13:28,040 --> 03:13:32,520
Speaker 2: Sumral who's done well Tulane, great recruiter, knows the region,

3566
03:13:33,959 --> 03:13:37,320
Speaker 2: you know, develops hard nosed teams. He's a defensive minded coach,

3567
03:13:37,360 --> 03:13:41,200
Speaker 2: and he's already there in New Orleans. Finally, I don't

3568
03:13:41,200 --> 03:13:45,200
Speaker 2: know about this one, but Dugan nuss Meyer, who's currently

3569
03:13:45,280 --> 03:13:50,120
Speaker 2: the Saints' offensive coordinator, has been around the program quite

3570
03:13:50,160 --> 03:13:52,720
Speaker 2: a bit. He's the father of if that name sounds

3571
03:13:52,760 --> 03:13:55,480
Speaker 2: for mayor, of course it does. He's the father of

3572
03:13:55,520 --> 03:13:59,920
Speaker 2: the current LSU starting quarterback Garrett Knutsmeyer. And I think

3573
03:14:00,360 --> 03:14:02,959
Speaker 2: Doug Messmeyer has a good intuitive feel for what works

3574
03:14:03,000 --> 03:14:06,160
Speaker 2: and what doesn't work at LSU. In the bat Rouge, area.

3575
03:14:06,800 --> 03:14:08,880
Speaker 2: He's won a Super Bowl, and he's won a BCIs

3576
03:14:08,959 --> 03:14:12,320
Speaker 2: title as an assistant, and he's bounced around between college

3577
03:14:12,360 --> 03:14:14,320
Speaker 2: and the NFL. But he's no stranger to the SEC,

3578
03:14:15,240 --> 03:14:17,080
Speaker 2: and he could view this as one of the spots

3579
03:14:17,480 --> 03:14:20,600
Speaker 2: where he would entertain to go as a head coach.

3580
03:14:20,760 --> 03:14:23,440
Speaker 2: Not At the end of the day, I've really, honestly

3581
03:14:23,520 --> 03:14:26,160
Speaker 2: no idea if every one of these names I just mentioned,

3582
03:14:26,200 --> 03:14:32,680
Speaker 2: and there's two, four, six, eight, ten, thirteen names, have

3583
03:14:33,080 --> 03:14:35,840
Speaker 2: no idea if any of them actually end up getting

3584
03:14:35,959 --> 03:14:38,360
Speaker 2: hired at LSQ. How many even get interviewed. How many

3585
03:14:38,440 --> 03:14:39,920
Speaker 2: are even interested. I can tell you right now two

3586
03:14:40,000 --> 03:14:42,760
Speaker 2: or three are interested at all. But this is a

3587
03:14:42,840 --> 03:14:46,680
Speaker 2: big time job. When you got the governor involved, all right,

3588
03:14:47,240 --> 03:14:48,920
Speaker 2: all right, this is going to get fun to watch.

3589
03:14:49,240 --> 03:14:51,800
Speaker 2: College football is so crazy now. I don't know whoever

3590
03:14:51,840 --> 03:14:55,480
Speaker 2: could have predicted this. No one predicted this, But we're

3591
03:14:55,640 --> 03:14:58,400
Speaker 2: just in an era now where ten coaches are fired

3592
03:14:58,440 --> 03:15:02,080
Speaker 2: before October at one hundred and sixty nine million in

3593
03:15:02,200 --> 03:15:07,040
Speaker 2: buyout clauses, just because it's frankly insanity. I don't know

3594
03:15:07,040 --> 03:15:09,000
Speaker 2: how you build continuity. Guys come and go so fast.

3595
03:15:09,040 --> 03:15:11,959
Speaker 2: It's a revolving door. You know there'll be another twelve

3596
03:15:12,040 --> 03:15:15,959
Speaker 2: hundred players under the transfer portal this this January coming up.

3597
03:15:16,000 --> 03:15:18,120
Speaker 2: We wrap up the show and I want to go

3598
03:15:18,240 --> 03:15:20,880
Speaker 2: back to the NFL. I'm calling this segment before you

3599
03:15:21,080 --> 03:15:21,680
Speaker 2: fire away.

3600
03:15:22,440 --> 03:15:23,160
Speaker 9: I got seven or.

3601
03:15:23,120 --> 03:15:24,880
Speaker 2: Eight matchups that I want to share with you some

3602
03:15:25,080 --> 03:15:28,320
Speaker 2: tidbits before you fire away and bet on these games

3603
03:15:29,000 --> 03:15:32,360
Speaker 2: which now kick off in about seven hours and twenty minutes,

3604
03:15:32,400 --> 03:15:34,520
Speaker 2: well not all of them, Summer Sunday night and one

03:15:52,560 --> 03:15:55,200
Speaker 2: five hours for the fourth year in a row. Now

3612
03:15:55,240 --> 03:15:59,680
Speaker 2: I've completed another five year turn back the Clock Daylight

3613
03:15:59,800 --> 03:16:03,640
Speaker 2: Say extravaganza, and I didn't get to all my topics.

3614
03:16:04,280 --> 03:16:08,680
Speaker 2: There's some WNBA negotiation stuff and they just extended their

3615
03:16:08,720 --> 03:16:12,119
Speaker 2: deadline another thirty days and we'll see how that goes.

3616
03:16:12,879 --> 03:16:14,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what's gonna go on I bet I

3617
03:16:14,879 --> 03:16:18,560
Speaker 2: did research it. It turns out the WNBA, from the

3618
03:16:18,680 --> 03:16:20,480
Speaker 2: best I can see, to not make a profit again

3619
03:16:20,520 --> 03:16:23,200
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. But they want more money. Maybe

3620
03:16:23,240 --> 03:16:26,199
Speaker 2: they work something out where start this as a baseline

3621
03:16:26,200 --> 03:16:28,640
Speaker 2: and if you grow from here, the players go along

3622
03:16:28,680 --> 03:16:30,640
Speaker 2: with it. Remember if they lost a billion dollars in

3623
03:16:30,720 --> 03:16:33,400
Speaker 2: twenty eight years, They've never made a dime, so I'd

3624
03:16:33,440 --> 03:16:36,280
Speaker 2: be very careful. Although things they say are looking up,

3625
03:16:36,920 --> 03:16:38,960
Speaker 2: that's what they say. By the way, the NFL just

3626
03:16:39,080 --> 03:16:41,959
Speaker 2: had their full meetings. I'll get to that next week.

3627
03:16:42,040 --> 03:16:45,039
Speaker 2: They talked about the Pro Bowl games, an eighteen game season,

3628
03:16:45,120 --> 03:16:50,280
Speaker 2: the Tush Push TV viewership, you know, bad money, all

3629
03:16:50,400 --> 03:16:52,640
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff I didn't get to. I had a

3630
03:16:52,720 --> 03:16:55,560
Speaker 2: small update on the NBA gambling probe update I didn't

3631
03:16:55,600 --> 03:16:57,880
Speaker 2: get too. But we'll get to all this stuff in

3632
03:16:58,000 --> 03:17:01,200
Speaker 2: future shows and we'll keep you post it. One of

3633
03:17:01,240 --> 03:17:02,640
Speaker 2: the things I do want to get to because we

3634
03:17:02,720 --> 03:17:07,119
Speaker 2: have another exciting NFL slate kicking off here in about

3635
03:17:07,280 --> 03:17:10,520
Speaker 2: seven hours, in twelve minutes, and I'm calling this segment

3636
03:17:10,640 --> 03:17:12,360
Speaker 2: before you fire away.

3637
03:17:14,360 --> 03:17:14,840
Speaker 6: Be aware.

3638
03:17:15,000 --> 03:17:18,520
Speaker 2: So the Colts are at Pittsburgh, and the Colts are

3639
03:17:18,520 --> 03:17:24,240
Speaker 2: a short favorite leave three and a half. And it's

3640
03:17:24,320 --> 03:17:26,640
Speaker 2: interesting because every week people want to say, are the

3641
03:17:26,640 --> 03:17:28,640
Speaker 2: Colts for reel or the Coats for real? Are the

3642
03:17:28,680 --> 03:17:32,080
Speaker 2: Colts for real? Well, you tell me. They lead the

3643
03:17:32,200 --> 03:17:39,640
Speaker 2: NFL and scrimmage yards, rush yards, touchdowns points. But detractors

3644
03:17:39,840 --> 03:17:42,920
Speaker 2: is always big butt. Detractors want to say that, well,

3645
03:17:43,040 --> 03:17:45,600
Speaker 2: but five of their wins have come against losing teams. Meanwhile,

3646
03:17:45,640 --> 03:17:52,320
Speaker 2: the Steelers have all but been terrible on defense. They

3647
03:17:52,440 --> 03:17:56,119
Speaker 2: have allowed the most passing yards, they're thirtieth and total

3648
03:17:56,160 --> 03:17:59,280
Speaker 2: defense and lasting past defense. There's no acting back to

3649
03:17:59,360 --> 03:18:01,400
Speaker 2: Steelers here. But I don't know that. I want to

3650
03:18:01,480 --> 03:18:03,360
Speaker 2: lay three and a half on the road and watch.

3651
03:18:03,400 --> 03:18:05,520
Speaker 2: I'll look up, it'll be halftime and the Colts will

3652
03:18:05,520 --> 03:18:08,560
Speaker 2: be at twenty one to six. Again, the Colts are

3653
03:18:08,600 --> 03:18:10,600
Speaker 2: for real. People don't want to give them their props.

3654
03:18:10,640 --> 03:18:13,800
Speaker 2: But they aren't for real, I think. But Noitherord. You

3655
03:18:13,920 --> 03:18:15,720
Speaker 2: dress them up as a road favorite in Pittsburgh. That's

3656
03:18:15,760 --> 03:18:17,640
Speaker 2: a horse of a different color. By the way, it's

3657
03:18:17,640 --> 03:18:19,600
Speaker 2: getting a little cold there, and they're a hothouse team.

3658
03:18:19,680 --> 03:18:23,879
Speaker 2: Remember there are a dome team going outside in Pittsburgh, Carolina.

3659
03:18:23,920 --> 03:18:26,480
Speaker 2: At Green Bay, the Packers thirteen and a half point favorites.

3660
03:18:27,240 --> 03:18:29,160
Speaker 2: I would never lay thirteen and a half in an

3661
03:18:29,240 --> 03:18:33,959
Speaker 2: NFL game ever. Now, Brusshong returns for Carolina, Green Bay

3662
03:18:34,040 --> 03:18:36,160
Speaker 2: maybe three and oer at lambeau Field, and they're averaging

3663
03:18:36,200 --> 03:18:41,320
Speaker 2: twenty seven points per game at home. But meanwhile, a

3664
03:18:41,440 --> 03:18:45,440
Speaker 2: Carolina win would give them the best start of their

3665
03:18:45,560 --> 03:18:50,200
Speaker 2: franchise since twenty nineteen. They'd be five and four and

3666
03:18:50,360 --> 03:18:54,080
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs has scored touchdowns now in fifteen of his

3667
03:18:54,400 --> 03:19:02,160
Speaker 2: last sixteen games. Atlanta at New New England. Well, the

3668
03:19:02,240 --> 03:19:07,720
Speaker 2: real Falcons, please stand up, Drake May. It appears to

3669
03:19:07,840 --> 03:19:11,440
Speaker 2: me is absolutely the real deal. Now, I'm not gonna

3670
03:19:11,480 --> 03:19:13,960
Speaker 2: call him Josh Allen or I'm not gonna yeah, I'm

3671
03:19:13,959 --> 03:19:16,880
Speaker 2: gonna compare him to Josh Allen. That's what I'm gonna do, Okay,

3672
03:19:17,680 --> 03:19:21,120
Speaker 2: because with all due respect, I know he hasn't been

3673
03:19:21,160 --> 03:19:24,840
Speaker 2: in league nearly as long. But what can he do

3674
03:19:26,280 --> 03:19:28,920
Speaker 2: that Josh Allen does? And New England's a four and

3675
03:19:28,920 --> 03:19:31,480
Speaker 2: a half point favorite home, and Mike Rabel has completely

3676
03:19:31,560 --> 03:19:34,360
Speaker 2: changed the culture that franchise. I said before the season,

3677
03:19:34,360 --> 03:19:35,840
Speaker 2: I said, watch out for New England. They're gonna be

3678
03:19:35,879 --> 03:19:38,480
Speaker 2: for real and watch out for Arizona. I think they're

3679
03:19:38,480 --> 03:19:40,880
Speaker 2: gonna be make some noise. I was half right by

3680
03:19:40,879 --> 03:19:44,160
Speaker 2: the way Kyler Murray's out. Arizona's let me down. They

3681
03:19:44,280 --> 03:19:48,360
Speaker 2: look very weird to me. And they're not a game

3682
03:19:48,560 --> 03:19:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about on the on this list, Okay, they

3683
03:19:53,640 --> 03:19:56,800
Speaker 2: they just you really don't know what you're gonna get

3684
03:19:56,840 --> 03:20:00,360
Speaker 2: with Arizona, and so there's no point in in. Really

3685
03:20:01,280 --> 03:20:04,240
Speaker 2: I ignore them when it comes to handicapping because they're

3686
03:20:04,280 --> 03:20:06,680
Speaker 2: at Dallas on Monday night and Dallas can score forty

3687
03:20:06,720 --> 03:20:09,200
Speaker 2: points against anybody, but they're only laying three and a

3688
03:20:09,240 --> 03:20:11,440
Speaker 2: half against Arizona, So go figure. And I don't think

3689
03:20:11,520 --> 03:20:13,560
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray's gonna play. But believe it or not, Ue

3690
03:20:13,640 --> 03:20:17,320
Speaker 2: Jacobe Brisset looks better. But why am I talking about Arizona.

3691
03:20:17,360 --> 03:20:22,280
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Drake May and New England. He's got

3692
03:20:22,360 --> 03:20:25,520
Speaker 2: a one to weight passer rating in seven straight games.

3693
03:20:26,160 --> 03:20:28,120
Speaker 2: The New England Patriots have won five in a row.

3694
03:20:28,920 --> 03:20:29,040
Speaker 6: Now.

3695
03:20:29,120 --> 03:20:33,439
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix, I believe is slated to return for Atlanta.

3696
03:20:34,120 --> 03:20:38,520
Speaker 2: But Atlanta is the beacon of inconsistency. They've scored ten

3697
03:20:38,720 --> 03:20:42,320
Speaker 2: or fewer points three times this season, and you better

3698
03:20:42,400 --> 03:20:45,040
Speaker 2: hope Kirk Cousins doesn't come in the game, because you

3699
03:20:45,160 --> 03:20:47,200
Speaker 2: talk about ninety million dollars, they might as well lit

3700
03:20:47,200 --> 03:20:48,720
Speaker 2: it on fire. At least it would have kept him warm.

3701
03:20:49,600 --> 03:20:54,200
Speaker 2: So Atlanta, I don't know really what to make of

3702
03:20:54,720 --> 03:20:59,600
Speaker 2: that game. They could surprise you at New England. It's

3703
03:20:59,640 --> 03:21:01,200
Speaker 2: kind of a debt number four and a half. You

3704
03:21:01,320 --> 03:21:05,280
Speaker 2: land in that five range there about. Again, it's not

3705
03:21:05,400 --> 03:21:07,440
Speaker 2: a game I am involved in.

3706
03:21:07,520 --> 03:21:07,600
Speaker 3: Now.

3707
03:21:07,720 --> 03:21:11,200
Speaker 2: Kansas City Buffalo, this should be one of the more

3708
03:21:11,240 --> 03:21:14,960
Speaker 2: intriguing games of the day. Kansas City all of a

3709
03:21:15,000 --> 03:21:19,000
Speaker 2: sudden now look like And by the way, them and

3710
03:21:19,040 --> 03:21:22,240
Speaker 2: the Lions are the two odds on favorites to win

3711
03:21:22,320 --> 03:21:26,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. And it's not front running because Kansas

3712
03:21:26,320 --> 03:21:29,920
Speaker 2: City got Rashid Rice back and he's in two games,

3713
03:21:30,000 --> 03:21:34,080
Speaker 2: sixteen receptions and three touchdowns since returning. Since twenty twenty,

3714
03:21:34,120 --> 03:21:36,120
Speaker 2: the Bills are four and one versus the Chiefs and

3715
03:21:36,160 --> 03:21:39,480
Speaker 2: regular season games, but not so much in the playoffs.

3716
03:21:39,879 --> 03:21:43,280
Speaker 2: Now they're both perennial division champions, but ironically neither one

3717
03:21:43,360 --> 03:21:46,120
Speaker 2: is in first place right now. Both teams really kind

3718
03:21:46,160 --> 03:21:48,080
Speaker 2: of need this game. Will it change their fate in

3719
03:21:48,120 --> 03:21:48,760
Speaker 2: the poleseason?

3720
03:21:49,120 --> 03:21:49,160
Speaker 17: No?

3721
03:21:49,360 --> 03:21:51,000
Speaker 2: They're just gonna have to win games on the road

3722
03:21:51,440 --> 03:21:54,760
Speaker 2: to go to the Super Bowl. Minnesota at Detroit. I

3723
03:21:54,840 --> 03:21:57,520
Speaker 2: think this is a bawout. Now, you don't make a

3724
03:21:57,560 --> 03:21:59,480
Speaker 2: lot of money by laying lots of points in the NFL,

3725
03:21:59,520 --> 03:22:01,959
Speaker 2: but I think the Lions can win this game by

3726
03:22:02,000 --> 03:22:05,040
Speaker 2: double digits. JJ McCarthy will return to the field and

3727
03:22:05,080 --> 03:22:07,040
Speaker 2: make his third career start. The Lions have won their

3728
03:22:07,080 --> 03:22:09,760
Speaker 2: last five meetings versus the Vikings and are averaging thirty

3729
03:22:09,840 --> 03:22:12,280
Speaker 2: nine points a game at home. I think the Lions

3730
03:22:12,320 --> 03:22:14,880
Speaker 2: are loaded for Bear in this game, and I think

3731
03:22:14,920 --> 03:22:19,680
Speaker 2: they romp. Speaking of Bears, the Bears visited Cincinnati. Both

3732
03:22:19,760 --> 03:22:23,440
Speaker 2: teams or check that the Bears. Actually, the Bears lead

3733
03:22:23,520 --> 03:22:25,680
Speaker 2: the league and their two and a half point favorites

3734
03:22:25,720 --> 03:22:27,520
Speaker 2: on the row. Can you imagine it. They lead the

3735
03:22:27,600 --> 03:22:31,440
Speaker 2: league in takeaways, but none last week versus Baltimore. Meanwhile,

3736
03:22:31,480 --> 03:22:34,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals blew a fifteen point lead versus the Jets

3737
03:22:34,320 --> 03:22:37,720
Speaker 2: last week, and Cincinnati could be without Joe Flacco and

3738
03:22:37,959 --> 03:22:40,879
Speaker 2: Trey Henderson. Now, the Bears stink in the red zone

3739
03:22:41,000 --> 03:22:43,920
Speaker 2: and they commit way too many turnovers, but Cincinnati's given

3740
03:22:44,000 --> 03:22:47,039
Speaker 2: up at least twenty seven points in five straight games.

3741
03:22:47,600 --> 03:22:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't want anything to do with that game. Finally,

3742
03:22:49,440 --> 03:22:55,640
Speaker 2: Seattle is three to zero on the road and Seattle

3743
03:22:55,800 --> 03:22:58,240
Speaker 2: is at Washington. The Commanders or Land two and a half.

3744
03:22:58,680 --> 03:23:01,760
Speaker 2: They rank seven defensively, and they're coming off a buie.

3745
03:23:01,920 --> 03:23:05,400
Speaker 2: The question is can Jadeen Daniels resume his prowess on

3746
03:23:05,520 --> 03:23:08,280
Speaker 2: the ground and get him running again. We shall see

3747
03:23:08,680 --> 03:23:10,840
Speaker 2: a tough card this week in the NFL. There's some

3748
03:23:10,959 --> 03:23:14,280
Speaker 2: things you might want to know before you fire. It's

3749
03:23:14,320 --> 03:23:18,160
Speaker 2: gonna do it for our five hour extravaganza Daylight Savings,

3750
03:23:18,200 --> 03:23:21,120
Speaker 2: Turn Back the Clock Show. We'll see you next week,

3751
03:23:21,240 --> 03:23:24,199
Speaker 2: back my regular time. Up next, the Great Andy Furman

3752
03:23:24,400 --> 03:23:25,960
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio
