8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: And with that, we're lucky years ago Portnoy when he

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: was starting Barstool. They've emerged as a big college football network.

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: But the reason they became that is they went out

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: and hired Casey Smith, who hosts their show with Portnoy,

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: Big Cat and Brandon Walker and those guys are that

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: sounds like a mixer that you get in trouble with

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: that the big personalities. So you're A. You grew up

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: in Dallas, You're and then you will go to Texas

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: A and M. Like myself, we didn't have sports fans

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: in the family. You became this are for barstool and

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: we met a few weeks ago at the US Illinois game.

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't buy Texas A and M. Not that I

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: don't buy, and they're obviously good. I like their coach.

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: I know, I feel like they keep beating teams that

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: have just fired their coach or they're going to I

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: love Bama this year, and it's a little confirmation bias

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: because I'm such a Kalin Debor fan. Sell me in

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: a minute on an M. They're athletic quarterback, they got

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: a lot of big dudes, they have an NIL Why

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: do I need to buy them?

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you talk about bias, I mean,

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 3: I'm wearing maroon and white kicks today, Colin.

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: I knew what you were going to come with. No

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: and I.

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, the only teams they

33
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: can play are the teams that are on their schedule.

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: And I hear you about the coaches getting fired. A

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: and M's also getting those coaches fired. The way that

36
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: A and M is playing in all three phases of

37
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: the game, Marcel Reid in the pocket, just everything from

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: an ex's and O standpoint is there. The bigger thing

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: for me is that this team is playing for Mike

40
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: Elco differently than I've ever seen them play for a

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: coach in my entire life.

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: He buys it in the culture.

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: Tommy Moffatt, the strength and strength and conditioning coordinator, came

44
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: from LSU He's got this team playing tough, and they

45
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: just don't look like the A and M eight and

46
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: four that we've made fun of for our whole life. Yes,

47
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: I mean, and I have to defend that every year,

48
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: and then every November I start getting scared.

49
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: I'm like, Oh, is this going to happen again?

50
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: This team is playing differently, and just when you look

51
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: at the talent across the board, you look at the money,

52
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: the nil and then you get a guy like Mike

53
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: Elko and his staff in there, like, this team is

54
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: for real.

55
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: And I understand where you're coming from. Alabama.

56
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 3: They're not the same team that lost to Port of State,

57
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: but they still lost to Porida State and then plays

58
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: Notre Dame gets that non conference win, so you have

59
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: to believe in them.

60
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 4: They're nine to zero in the middle of November.

61
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: I like that.

62
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Bama fan. I don't think Ty Simpson's

63
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: quite as people project. I think he's a good kid.

64
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: He sat for three years, was a backup, didn't do much.

65
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: The world's changed. Nil Texas has the most money Texas

66
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: and Hen has the second most money in the conference.

67
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: That's the reality is that a lot of these sec

68
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: schools are in small towns where a car dealers like

69
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: the rich guy. Well at Ohio State or Michigan it's

70
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: venture capital guys, or Notre Dame. It's a different ballgame.

71
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: So Obama is not what they were with saving It's

72
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: not Caitlin de Bor's fault. I think they're underserved because

73
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: of that loss to Florida State, and everybody just labeled

74
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: them because they got dogged, they got.

75
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: Dragged, everyone said they were dead.

76
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: I think in the last month your thoughts on Bama.

77
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: So I agree with you that Ty Simpson he has

78
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: looked unbelievable. And when you look, they do look a

79
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: little bit one dimensional because Alabama.

80
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: They don't run it.

81
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: And you look at the successful Alabama teams. You had

82
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: guys that could always run the ball. And you look

83
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: at all of their rushing stats right now, it's all

84
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the sec. That's just not the

85
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: way Alabama wins games. And I do think under coach

86
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: Saban they had a little bit more of a toughness.

87
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: I agree with you that it's not pushed.

88
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: To Bor's fault, but there's something about these Alabama teams

89
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: under Kaylin de Board that just don't look like they

90
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: are as tough and as physical at got pushed around,

91
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: and that never happens with Nick Saban, and that to

92
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: me is a little bit alarming.

93
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: Now when you look at what.

94
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: Ty Simpson in this offense has done, especially in the

95
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: passing attack, you have to believe in them, and you

96
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: know they're going to have guys on defense. But when

97
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: they're going up against teams with really good front sevens,

98
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: and you know that they're going to throw the ball,

99
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: what are they going to be able to do? Because

100
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: they can't run the ball right now?

101
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: So you never asked anybody. Their age are obviously very young,

102
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: and young people talk to young people. Young people don't

103
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: talk to people like me, So I want to bring

104
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: up they just not that young.

105
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: And I'm talking to you right now, and.

106
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 5: My producers ignore me at every request.

107
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: So Lane Kiffin is kind of cool and he's got

108
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: an identity, and a smart coach told me recently, offensive

109
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: high school players will follow coaches. Defensive guys want to

110
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: go to the big schools. They're going to go to

111
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: your Texas's and your Ohio States and your Bamas. So

112
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: I think Nicks there's a pied piper feeling in college.

113
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: I think he'd be great in the pros. What are

114
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: the people that you know, they are young and players

115
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: and coaches. What do they tell you on Kiffin you

116
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: have a heartbeat of the SEC. Is he considering pro football?

117
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: I think you have to think he's considering all options

118
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: at this point.

119
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: But I think that he connects so well.

120
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 3: With these young players, and you see his connection with

121
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart and he's cool and he's the best at

122
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: social media trolling and these guys love that. And you

123
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: know that anything that comes out of his mouth, whether

124
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: it's in the media or it's on social media, is

125
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: going to get clicks. And I think that really fits

126
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: in recruiting and for you know, you look at.

127
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 4: All the jobs that are open, and.

128
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: He's going to coach five teams next year. It seems

129
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: like he's just going to be coaching everywhere. But right now,

130
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: what he's building at Ole Miss, he's making Ole Miss

131
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: a destination that you know, ten fifteen years ago, these

132
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: kids wouldn't have necessarily wanted to go, and he seems

133
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: like he connects to that level. So it would be

134
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 3: dumb to sit and say he's not considering the NFL,

135
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: especially the Giants with Jackson Dart there. But I think

136
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: he's a college coach. I think he fits the culture,

137
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: and he's young and he's cool and he's happy there.

138
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: He's got young kids. If I was him, I would

139
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: stay in college.

140
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: But you know, no, I think it's a really good point.

141
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: I think fit in life matters. And I think he's

142
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: just snarky enough that he would offend an owner or

143
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: a GM. Yeah, he's just inappropriate enough on social media,

144
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: like you guys are a lot that I work for a.

145
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: Company that's always in appropriate. That's what we do.

146
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: So tomorrow you're at Wrigley, it's Michigan and it's Northwestern.

147
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I think Underwood's unbelievable. I think he's Oh my god,

148
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: he's just an unbelievable talent. Think marsh is one of

149
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: the receivers. I like, what do you make? You know

150
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Dave loves his Michigan. Do you think deep down in

151
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: his heart he thinks this hardball replacement's the guy, because

152
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, you when you hire the guy on the staff,

153
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: it goes, So you know, I understand why you do it.

154
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: Players like him as loyalty as the brand. Where are

155
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: you with Michigan? What does Dave say privately about Michigan.

156
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: Well, Dave is as authentic as you can get.

157
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: You know that you've been around him.

158
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: He believes, truly that Michigan's going to be to Ohio

159
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: State this year, and he's going to believe it. Even

160
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: if he doesn't believe it, he's going to say it.

161
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: I think that one thing with this team, they're also young.

162
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: You know, you talk about just the way that they

163
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: had the turnover, and it wasn't just losing losing coach Harbaugh.

164
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: It was just a lot of guys leaving, and just

165
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: so the fact that they're still even in the mix,

166
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: they're still you know, in the the you know, the

167
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: lower level conversation of being able to get in the playoff.

168
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: They would have to be Ohio State on Thanksgiving obviously.

169
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: But I think that this is a great spot for

170
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: Michigan to be in. And I see where the nil

171
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: money and that's where Dave really loves to get involved,

172
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 3: right because you know, he's got the big money coming in.

173
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: But I mean, if you're a Michigan fan right now,

174
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: you shouldn't be thinking poorly of this team.

175
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: Their young kids and Bryce looks great.

176
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, He's a pretty phenomenal guy. So when

177
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: you grow up in Texas and now you live in

178
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: New York and you hang out in Chicago and all

179
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: this stuff, how do you view Everybody said the Pac

180
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: twelve going to the Big Ten, they won't be able

181
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: to handle the weather. My take was they'll bring all

182
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Yeah, I mean even Tom Brady played at Michigan,

183
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: he's from California, Andrew Louck, Aaron Rodgers. The quality of

184
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in the Big Ten now, Jayden Mayava, Dante More,

185
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: even that nico I Mahaliava's like he's got the skills.

186
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: So I think the West Coast teams have brought kind

187
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: of a smarter and more sophisticated quarterback driven offense. But

188
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: how does somebody like you that grows up in Texas

189
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: and Big Ten country? How do you view sc Do

190
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: you see him as soft? How do you view that

191
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: little sc Lincoln Riley things?

192
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: So I love Lincoln Riley. I liked him when he

193
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: was at Oklahoma, so I thought it was a great hire.

194
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: And they actually used to make fun of me at barstool.

195
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: They were like, do you have like a crush on

196
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: him or something? Why are you always so high on him.

197
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: It's like he's an offensive mind that he just needs

198
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: to find somebody to help him with his defense, and

199
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: he's going to get this team right. I've always thought

200
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: with USC and UCLA and Oregon, it's like they're kind

201
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: of like the sexiest school, but they're not going to

202
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: be able to handle it in the SEC or the

203
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: big ten week in and week out. We're seeing that's

204
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: not necessarily true. We saw what Oregon did last year.

205
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: We saw what Dan Lanning is built. You're seeing, you know,

206
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: USC is very clearly in the hunt.

207
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 5: Year good at home. USC is good at home.

208
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: And I just truly believe that, you know, you see

209
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: these different fits. I didn't like that the PAC twelve

210
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: fell apart because right before it fell apart, you had

211
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: a million quarterbacks in Thisslage.

212
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: Why the best Pac twelve season in the history of

213
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve the last year they had seven good

214
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: teams and we're like having.

215
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: A funeral for it. It was unbelievable.

216
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 3: And so to look at that, and I think the

217
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: bigger thing was not even necessarily the weather.

218
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: It's the travel.

219
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: I mean, West Coast team's having you all the way

220
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: the East coast and back and forth, like it takes

221
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: away the regionality of college football.

222
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 5: Which I grew up two or three hours.

223
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, and like time, you know, as you

224
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: get older, and I mean, you know, I know you

225
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: said I'm young, I'm not that young. Time really does

226
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: matter when it comes to these guys are so used

227
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: to rigid schedules.

228
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: So but I do like seeing the quarterback play. It's

229
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: the Big ten. Used to be it's like you're gonna

230
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: run the rock.

231
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna have these great, big offensive linemen

232
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: and it's going to be you know, a nine to

233
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: six game. Now you're seeing guys like Dante More and

234
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: you're seeing just these teams have these offenses that come

235
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: from the Pac twelve and that's exciting. Now if they

236
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: played you know, a weekeet and week out every single year,

237
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 3: it'll start to even out for sure.

238
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

239
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: The so you barstools interesting. So I don't really know.

240
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: I've met Big Cat and brand and you and Portan,

241
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: I have met him. It's a it's a wild a

242
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: lot of juice, a lot of energy, and you've really

243
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: you feel like part of the team. But it is

244
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean when it first started it was like it

245
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: was a boys club, it was a frat, and it

246
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: was I.

247
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 5: Mean when I that's what it was.

248
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: And then you walked in you or I remember seeing

249
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: you in Boston and then you moved to barstool?

250
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 5: What was your first week at barstool?

251
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: Like, oh my god.

252
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: It was so crazy because I was used to Network

253
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: TV doing three hours of Network TV, like you know,

254
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: every single night, and then I walk in and it

255
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,239
Speaker 3: was like right before March madness and they're all gambling,

256
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: and like I was just like, what's going on. We

257
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: don't have production meetings, we don't have like I don't

258
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: have a B block.

259
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: What are we talking about?

260
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: But it was really cool because I grew up with

261
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of guy friends loving college football,

262
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: and it was you know, you get to to watch

263
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: TV and you talk about the x's and o's and

264
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: you hear the ins and outs of what's going on,

265
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 3: and then you go hang out with your friends and

266
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: you're sitting down, for the lack of better terms, on

267
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: a barstool talking about these games. And that's what that's like.

268
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: And that's what what Dave is really built. Well, it's

269
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: what she would talk about your you know, your friends

270
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: with watching a game, but to be the only woman

271
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: there doing it.

272
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: Then we have other women in content. They are phenomenal.

273
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 5: You were a big rock star for them.

274
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, especially in sports, like you know, we've

275
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: had pop culture shakes in the office.

276
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: Was great, but uh, it's it's the different world. But

277
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 4: I love it.

278
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: And I love that we've now partnered with you guys

279
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: because I.

280
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: Get both right to the large TV and then yeah.

281
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: A little bit of x's and o's and like we

282
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: have to be professional, and then we get to go

283
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: yell at each other and tell you that we're stupid.

284
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: So you know, it's a great It's a great mix.

285
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: But no, I love working there and Dave's as authentic

Speaker 2: This is the herdline news.

314
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to that big Fox matchup Ram Seahawks.

315
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 7: Should be a good one.

316
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 6: Matt Stafford firmly in the MVP race pretty much against

317
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 6: Drake may A, couple other guys. I think Josh Allen's

318
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 6: still there, but we'll see this weekend. The Seahawks defense

319
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 6: is feisty, Colin. They're coming to so far looking to

320
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 6: make a statement. I know they've bottled up some bad quarterbacks.

321
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 6: Here's Mike McDonald talking about just how good Stafford and

322
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 6: the Rams offense has been.

323
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 8: He's playing great football, decisive, They're put him in great situations,

324
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 8: diagnosing defense at a really high level, hailing the protections

325
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 8: at a high level. They're really explosive right now in

326
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 8: their past game, and then and then they're converting in

327
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 8: some of those and a lot of those conversion downs

328
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 8: to which keeps drives extended. So yeah, he's playing great football.

329
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, two of the three or four best rosters in

330
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: the sport. You got two MVP quarterbacks. Home fields not

331
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: a thing at so far in this space. A lot

332
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: of Seahawks fans there.

333
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 7: You sure Seahawks fans travel that well to to LA.

334
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 6: I guess I'd want to get out of rainy Seattle

335
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 6: to come, oh to rainy Los Angeles.

336
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 7: Got it?

337
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, these are gonna be fascinating. I don't know how

338
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 6: much three tight end stuff the Rams are gonna Do

339
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 6: you know Seattle will be ready for it.

340
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 7: I mean they've used it.

341
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 6: Three weeks in a row. I just worry about this.

342
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 6: You know, DeVante Adams, Pooka. I know Seattle has good corners,

343
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 6: but there's no cheating on the run game with those two.

344
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 7: You can't cheat up in the box.

345
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 6: Last week you could do that, right, Hey, let's load

346
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 6: up on Trey McBride. They don't have much else and

347
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 6: they're swarming after Bresid.

348
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 7: You go attack Stafford. He's one of the best quarterbacks

349
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 7: against the Blitz in the league. Cling. You really like

350
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,119
Speaker 7: Seattle here, huh?

351
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 5: I do special team's edge?

352
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

353
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 7: The rams kicking situation has been mid is.

354
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a close game. Special

355
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: team's edge. Both teams run the ball. Seattle has not

356
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: been generating the sacks in the last couple of weeks

357
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: they did earlier.

358
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 5: Keep your eye on that.

359
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 6: Who do you trust more two minutes with the ball

360
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 6: TI game, Matt Stafford or your boy Samba both?

361
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: Oh?

362
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 7: Stop it you.

363
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 6: You are sitting on the fence so much today. This

364
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 6: is embarrassing. Pick a side man. Next up, Let's go

365
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 6: to a topic near and dear to your heart, and

366
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 6: that is brock Purdy. He's back calling. Kyle Shanahan talked

367
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 6: to the media yesterday said he's in. Brock Purdy then

368
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 6: spoke to the media. I wonder is he rushing back

369
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 6: because of mac Jones? Here he is brock Perty talking

370
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 6: about week eleven.

371
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 9: I feel really good, feel healthy and excited to be

372
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 9: back and ready to go and leave you guys. So

373
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 9: I'm really shy about this week. It's been a good

374
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 9: week so far and kind a couple more days obviously,

375
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 9: I got to finish out strong this week, but feel

376
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 9: really good. For me, it's been how do I feel physically?

377
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 9: Has nothing to do with I need to get back

378
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 9: out there. For the political side of things, it's been

379
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 9: all about how do I feel really good to go

380
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 9: out and lead when I do get back.

381
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 6: Interesting for him to reference the political side of things.

382
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 7: What do you think that means?

383
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 9: Well?

384
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: Mac Jones played very well. I support that message.

385
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 6: Is there is there a controversy here? Let's say brock

386
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 6: perty loss to Arizona. Is there a developing situation?

387
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 5: So I come a topic on Monday.

388
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 6: I don't think it leads Broncos beating the Chiefs quickly

389
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 6: did you see how about this from the staff Ricky Piersoll,

390
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: who has missed more time with this knee injury than

391
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 6: when he got shot last year. Okay, he's on track

392
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 6: to maybe return this week. We still don't know where

393
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 6: Brandon Ayuki is. It's funny when he wanted his contract,

394
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 6: he was all over social media.

395
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 7: Now he's hurt.

396
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 6: I'm not hearing anything for Brendan and I don't know, man,

397
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 6: I'm feeling I don't.

398
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: Want to parasol. And was playing very well before he

399
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: got hurt. He was playing, he was playing really well.

400
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: I didn't love it as a pick late first rounds.

401
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: No man's land for GMS. He's played well, He's looked

402
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: really good.

403
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 6: If you have looked at the Arizona injury report, it

404
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 6: is getting ugly. Johnson doesn't look like he's going to

405
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 6: go again. There looked like there was a lot of

406
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 6: quick last week in that team in Seattle when they

407
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 6: got jumped on early. I know they're going home. We'll see,

408
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 6: we'll see. I think the Niners are probably.

409
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 7: The side here. You have you anything for you?

410
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: No, they are to me.

411
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: I do worry because when you get humiliated like that,

412
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: you usually come back the next week.

413
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 5: But they're missing Connor. They're missing Harrison.

414
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 7: Harrison, Yeah they need him.

415
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, he's played better of.

416
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 7: Lay miss practice yesterday. We'll see. They need him back.

417
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,359
Speaker 7: He's their best ed rusher. All right, Final.

418
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 6: Story, Colin, Let's go to Major League Baseball. They announced

419
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 6: the MVPs weirdly. I don't know why they take so long.

420
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 6: The season has been over for weeks.

421
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 4: Show.

422
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 6: Hey, Otani wins it in the NL and Aaron Judge

423
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 6: in the AL. No surprise at all otani fourth career

424
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 6: MVP in the fourth unanimous won in the last five years.

425
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 6: Judge goes back to back like Michael Jordan ninety six

426
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 6: ninety seven winning MVP awards and cal Raley.

427
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 7: He was nearly won the MVP, but it was Aaron Judge.

428
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's Aaron Judge is a great player. Otani is

429
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: a unicorn historically he wait, wait, Judge is more than

430
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: a great player. I mean, come on, he's a Hall

431
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: of Fame lock. Okay, yeah, Otani though, yes, he is

432
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: not just a picture. He's an elite pitcher and an

433
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: elite based eater and an elite power hitter, and he

434
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: can hit for average Otani is just different and everybody else.

435
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 7: He's built different, as the kids say.

436
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 6: So, here's a fun fact on Aaron Judge, thirteenth player

437
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 6: in MLB history to win three MVPs, joining Yogi, Jolton,

438
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 6: Joe Demaggio and Mickey Mantle as the only.

439
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 7: Yankees to do it. Boy and MLB loves its history.

440
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 5: Huh.

441
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 6: I mean those are some big time names that Judge

442
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 6: just joined. Ok at that I got the highlights of

443
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 6: Aaron Judge. What a great player. Gotta say, nice, good guy,

444
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 6: Well though, I and a good guy had to balance out.

445
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 7: Your hate towards the Yankees every postseason.

446
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: But I would take the World Series titles. How many

447
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: Jeter's got? What four or five of those?

448
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: I take?

449
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: Those MVPs are great. I want titles obvious. Yes, those

468
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,680

469
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: very interesting. We call it tomorrow's headlines. Today. J Mack's

470
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: got five big ones, Commanders and the Dolphins. Isn't that

471
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: one overseas or something?

472
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

473
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: You know, I think I took the bait colin this season.

474
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 6: I've been doing a lot of early week betting and

475
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 6: it hasn't been profitable until lately because you start to

476
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 6: see what happened last week with the Dolphins, and you

477
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 6: see what happened with the Washington and this feels like

478
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 6: a slam dunk.

479
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 7: The headline for.

480
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 6: Commander's Dolphins from Madrid will be Tua top Us by

481
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 6: LOOA Madrid menu features bite size starters.

482
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 7: Give me the Dolphins here my biggest bet of the week.

483
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 7: I'm ready to.

484
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 6: Get my top in. But Colin, one of the cool things.

485
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 6: You know, I talk about Chad Gpt sometimes. I'm telling

486
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 6: you you can learn quickly about the dan Quinn's schemes.

487
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 6: Historically he has struggled slowing down the Miami Dolphins and

488
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 6: McDaniels offenses. What he plays the single high safety and

489
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 6: the problem in Washington, Colin, they're very slow at linebacker

490
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 6: because as you've noted, they're an old team. What does

491
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 6: McDaniels do. McDaniels put stress on the edges with the

492
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 6: speed in the motion, and I'm telling you, like, this

493
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 6: is good. This is lining up for a big Devin

494
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 6: eighth Chan game. He's having quietly a monster season.

495
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: Speed.

496
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 6: Like if you try to match up Bobby Wagner with

497
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 6: him on these screen passes. I mean, Wagner's had a

498
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 6: great career, but he's.

499
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 7: Like thirty five years old. And you saw Detroit.

500
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 6: Speed just mess up Washington last week. Also Payne, the

501
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: best defensive player Washington, has suspended for throwing that punch

502
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 6: in the Lions game, Colin, I see nothing here for

503
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 6: Washington that improves, and I alluded to it earlier. Both

504
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 6: these teams go on there by week after. If you're

505
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 6: Washington and you know the season's cooked, you got smashed

506
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 6: four games in a row. Do you basically have huge

507
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 6: plans in Europe this week and you just stay over there?

508
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 6: There's no reason to rush back. The Miami fans want

509
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 6: to come back to South Beach. I like the Dolphins

510
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 6: here big.

511
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: All right, Tomorrow's headlines today another Florida team, the Buccaneers

512
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: and Baker go to Buffalo.

513
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting. Tampa was so good for first half

514
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 6: of the season. They've slowed down a lot. What is happening?

515
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 6: The headline for Bills Tampa Bay will be Captain Cooked

516
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 6: rby Waves Button voyage to Bucks defense. This is a

517
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 6: as you alluded to earlier, big running weekend.

518
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 7: Horrible weather.

519
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 6: They're calling thirty to forty mile an hour gusts of

520
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 6: wind plus rain and snow that leads to heavy James

521
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 6: Cook action. And again this is a Tampa defense. I

522
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 6: didn't see them slowing Trayvon Henderson last week, did you?

523
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 6: I mean Henderson had a monster game. Tampa really struggled

524
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: slowing down Drake may and the big plays. Who does

525
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 6: big plays better than Josh Allen Cook Now no, Dalton

526
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 6: first aid, that's his new nickname, Dalton Kinkaid. He's hurt again.

527
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 6: So I do worry if they have to throw, but

528
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 6: in this wind, I don't anticipate it. I think Josh

529
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 6: Allen runs a lot, and I think one of the

530
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 6: craziest stats I've seen this week, Colin Baker Mayfield last

531
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 6: three games has zero rushes for zero yards. That is

532
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 6: absolutely puzzling, given his legs have been a huge weapon

533
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 6: for Tampa earlier this season. You got to wonder how

534
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 6: the oblique injury is. Chris Godwin ruled out, Bucky Irving

535
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 6: ruled out again. Tampa's ind some trouble here. I don't

536
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 6: know if Atlantic can gain ground or Carolina, but I

537
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: do think Tampa takes one on the chin here.

538
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today Big One chiefs at the Broncos.

539
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 6: So you know, the guys on staff to give you

540
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 6: a peek behind the curtain, they ask for the picks.

541
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 7: And I'm still I'm struggling a.

542
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 6: Bit this week, and I'm like, oh, you know I

543
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 6: have a brand in the NFL, and that's going against

544
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 6: a certain team. The headline for Broncos Chiefs will be

545
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 6: there's bow Use crying Chiefs, Mahomes sick for arrowhead.

546
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 7: I'm on an island here, Colin.

547
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 6: Give me the Deedninver Broncos straight up taking down Andy.

548
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 7: Reid and the Chiefs.

549
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 6: How about this Andy Reid twenty two and four off

550
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 6: of by six and one with Mahomes. Everybody's citing all

551
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 6: the Andy Reid rest stats and how great Mahomes is,

552
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 6: how he owns this division. Colin, I'm throwing it all

553
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 6: out the window. This is not last year's Chiefs team.

554
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 6: Last year, as you said, eleven to zero one score games.

555
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 6: You know who's dominating one score games this year.

556
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 7: Bo Nix and Denver.

557
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 6: Now, I know they've had slow starts, and if you

558
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 6: watch them last Thursday against the Raiders, there's no way

559
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 6: you can bet them this week. Well, I watched it,

560
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 6: and I'm saying that's an aberration. I look at some

561
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 6: of these things. Bo Nicks last year, first meeting with

562
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 6: Spags and Reid twenty two of thirty two hundred and

563
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 6: fifteen yards two touchdowns in the Arrowhead.

564
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 7: Remember that game they had a lead and ended up

565
00:23:59,440 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 7: blowing it.

566
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 6: How about the chiefs Andy Reid and Mahomes? For whatever reason,

567
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 6: they're struggling against pressure. Remember Mahomes was three for sixteen

568
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 6: under pressure against Buffalo and that's with Rice and Worthy.

569
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 6: I don't want to hear any excuses. What does Denver

570
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 6: do Colin number seven in blitz percentage, top three in pressures.

571
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 7: They're going to get after Mahomes? Can he make the place?

572
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 6: I know we love Mahomes, He's a Hall of Famer

573
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 6: all that, but I just want to know this year,

574
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 6: why is Patrick Mahomes struggling under pressure? I haven't heard

575
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: the media talking about it because they love him, but

576
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 6: why is it not there?

577
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 7: What's going on?

578
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think they have a consistent run game.

579
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're a little behind the sticks. I feel like

580
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: they're in more third and sixes, not third and twos.

581
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: And I think it's harder to throw. And I think

582
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: it's a convergence of things with no run game always

583
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: make I don't care who the quarterback is. They just

584
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: everybody you know, Jared Goff, Seattle. They're so good on

585
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: the road. Why because Sam Darnold has a run game.

586
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: When you go on the road, run games, and defense

587
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: travels the passing game and the protection doesn't know his travel.

588
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 6: This is expected to be the first game back for

589
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 6: the Ohio State left tacking rs Simmons. Simmons, He's expected

590
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 6: to play, you know, returning from that weird absence, and

591
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 6: they struggled without him protecting against the Jags and also

592
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 6: against Buffalo.

593
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 7: Colin, We'll see what he's made for made up.

594
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 10: You know.

595
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 7: Denver's pass rush is kind of nasty.

596
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today. Listen, it's it's a it's a good one.

597
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: One of the many good games this weekend. Detroit Lions

598
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: at Philly.

599
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know your your guy, Dan Campbell. I feel

600
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 6: like you have a bit of a man crush on

601
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell. You're now Midwestern. He is like mister Midwest.

602
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: The headline for Lions Philadelphia will be this is how.

603
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 7: We do it.

604
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 6: Eagles built for the big dance. Colin, I'm all over

605
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 6: the Eagles here. I'm the Sam Laporta. News that you

606
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 6: revealed kind of shocking. I didn't know this. He's not

607
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 6: practicing again today. Yeah, according to Dan Campbell, that is soools.

608
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 5: You know, nobody knows what they're getting with penay Sewol.

609
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, I know that the book on

610
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 6: Goff used to be take him outdoors. He's not as

611
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: great as he is indoors. Right up the middle, pressure

612
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 6: Jalen Carter one of the best defensive tackles in the league.

613
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 6: A lot of stuff lines up here for the Eagles

614
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 6: to push around the Lions in the trenches. I do

615
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 6: wonder though, primetime game Monday, that was a big one

616
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 6: against the Packers, and now you got to turn around

617
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 6: and play another primetime game this Sunday night against a

618
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 6: good Lions team. Lions, of course, wet East Coast, then

619
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 6: go back to the Midwest. Now back to the East

620
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 6: Coast after the Washington game. I don't know, Colin. I

621
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 6: like the Eagles here, not a lot, because their offense

622
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 6: is just kind of in the slot. Terry on Arnold

623
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 6: looks like he's gonna miss one of their safety Kirby

624
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 6: Joseph is go either way.

625
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 7: This could be as long as they don't force feed A. J.

626
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: Brown.

627
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 7: I think they're fine, but get him the ball, right

628
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 7: would you? Would you agree?

629
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 6: DeVonta Smith is good Goddard's good. Aj Brown's a game changer.

630
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Finally, Tomorrow's headlines today Cowboys is the Raiders. I'm surprised

631
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: you picked this game. I didn't have any interest this one.

632
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 7: Why.

633
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 6: I mean, there aren't many legups on the board this

634
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 6: late in the season, right the Vegas you know, the

635
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 6: margins are saying betting NFL is hard.

636
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 7: I don't see how this one's even close.

637
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 6: The headline for Raiders Cowboys Monday will be Vegas strict

638
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 6: poker naked bootlegs fleece the Raiders. I just, I mean,

639
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 6: why would anybody back the Raiders in any capacity at all?

640
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 7: I mean, Gino Smith feels like a dead man walking.

641
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 7: I know they, you know, had.

642
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 6: The max effort against Denver to get the cover, but

643
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 6: they couldn't do anything in that game the scripted drive

644
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 6: and then it was literally nothing the rest of the way, Colin,

645
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 6: this team has messed around with like the Tennessee Titans.

646
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 7: They look bad against the Bears.

647
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 6: You show me what data there is that says the

648
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 6: Raiders keep these even close. Geno Smith is a total

649
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 6: pumpkin when it comes to primetime games. One in five

650
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 6: straight up, when the lights are bright one in five

651
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 6: against the spread. Like Colin, he's just not a big

652
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 6: time quarterback. The concern obviously with Dallas. They had the

653
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 6: very difficult loss of the defensive lineman, his passing, and

654
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 6: you wonder how a team responds. Everything I've heard out

655
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 6: in the locker room is hey, we're doing it for him.

656
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 7: They love this guy.

657
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 6: It feels to me like, you know, a galvanizing moment

658
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 6: for the team. I think Dallas goes and serves. Notice

659
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 6: here coming off that Arizona loss, I think they you know,

660
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 6: at least thirty five points against his Raiders defense.

661
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff. Also the big game and it's

662
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: a Fox game. A Seattle travels to Los Angeles. I

663
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: do like Seattle. Mike McDonald took over for Pete Carroll

664
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: instantly made an impact. Now in year two, the defense

665
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: is hyper aggressive. They rotate in a lot of pass

666
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: rushers and a lot of guys they've drafted. Well, here's

667
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: Dave wantstat what he sees with kind of a Sean

668
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: McVeigh on defense in Mike McDonald.

669
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 10: Before he got that Seattle job, when he was at

670
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 10: Baltimore as the coordinator, they were first, second, or third

671
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 10: every year that he was there in defense, so he

672
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 10: he obviously had a foundation for what he wanted to do.

673
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 10: I really appreciate what he's done, and you can you

674
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 10: can do it a lot of different ways. You might

675
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 10: get somebody up here it's a blitzmaniac and he's going

676
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 10: to see it completely different. You can win and win

677
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 10: Super Bowls doing a lot of different ways.

678
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, McDonald is special. And you know, I still contend this,

679
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: this league is built through the draft because you increasingly

680
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: you have to pay quarterbacks, even b quarterbacks. You got

681
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: to pay him forty million a year, and so that

682
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: means how do you defer costs? You know, you can't

683
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: do like Baseball does with Otani's contractor and the Dodgers.

684
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: You have to hit on draft picks. Well, Seattle just

685
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: doesn't miss on a lot of them. So when you

686
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: can hit on draft picks and they're highly productive their first, second,

687
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: third years and you're not paying them even first round guys,

688
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: you're not paying him big money. And that's what Seattle's done.

689
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: They have just you know, they let go of DK

690
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, and I think kind of the

691
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: universal leaf was, uh oh, there is JSN A one

692
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: maybe the best one. Then they go get a kid

693
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: out of Colorado State, and then they go grab Cooper

694
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: Cup at evaluation that's pretty cheap. And then they go

695
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: make a deal for Rashid Shaheed and Donald's a big

696
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: My take was Seattle was going to be a playoff

697
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: team this year. I had him as a wild card team,

698
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: and I one of the things I said is, you know,

699
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: Donald is so much more athletic than Gino Smith. You

700
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: got a second year with Mike McDonald and John Seinner

701
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: just doesn't miss in his draft picks. So I mean,

702
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: they just they just I mean, you know, certain times

703
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL it's not that complicated. Just turn the

704
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: sound down and watch and just Seattle is fast everywhere

705
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, edge rusher, corners, safety, linebacker.

706
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 5: Seattle just runs.

707
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: And you know the advantages of all those West Coast teams,

708
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: they you know, the LA teams you got pretty warm weather.

709
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, San Francisco is kind of mild weather. Seattle

710
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: gets pretty salty late October on, so they're going to

711
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: be you know, there's gonna be these opportunities. Seattle has

712
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: been such a great road team, but they got a

713
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: home field advantage one of the louder stadiums. It gets

714
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: really wet, damp, cold, and windy. I think they're one

715
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: of the reasons there's such a good road team. It's

716
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Travel. Your defense and your run

717
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: games travel a lot of times. You know, warm weather

718
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: team goes into cold weather. The vertical passing game does

719
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: not travel. But Seattle's built the travel ten straight road

720
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: winds and a lot of them comfortably. So I like

721
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: Seattle close in that.

722
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 5: You know.

723
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: Twenty seven to twenty six, twenty eight, twenty seven, twenty four,

724
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: twenty three field First, Things First, Next
