00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: I gotta get you.

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: Come down. Man, you're too close to you got to

24
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,720

00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: You know, you have such a magical and yes, I

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: would love that. And also, I don't know, it just

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: always hits me at Christmas time because so often, you know,

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: people get overwhelmed by their families, and look for years,

29
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: I did too. I think we all do. You get

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: overwhelmed by your family sometimes at the holidays. But I

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: just always find myself sitting back and saying, you know,

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: as overwhelming as it is, I just remind everybody every year,

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: and I'm that guy, and it annoys people. I'm like,

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some time in life where you're gonna

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: turn around and you're not gonna have this massive family gathering.

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: So like, I don't know, my heart's always full of appreciation,

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: even for the annoying cousin that you just wish would

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: shut up. I'm just to that guy that sits there

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: and says, hey, someday, you're gonna wake up one day

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: and say, man, I really miss the chaos of that

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: that environment. So I find myself appreciating it and telling

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: people all the time he is annoying as your mom is.

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: By day three, it's it's still, you know, better than

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: the alternative, just just just a little reminder.

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: Oh it's perspective, man, that's that's so so poignant and

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: so spot on.

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: And it's funny.

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: You know, every year we do this thing because there's

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: a lot of prep work that goes into play in

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: the house, and you know, we're disheveled. I don't know,

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: you know, like everybody, uh we think we're like we

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: look around and go, oh my god, everybody's got it

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: together and we don't, right, like we you know, the

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: house is a mess, the kids, you know, just keeping

55
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: up every day with.

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: The kids and everything.

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: And so to to do the party, my wife freaks

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: out right like she's you know, she's out of her mind,

59
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: clean every nothing in the cranny in the house, and

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: you know what we're doing, We're doing all stuff and

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: it's like high stress. She's like, never again, never again,

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: you know, And.

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: Then we do it. You know, it's beautiful.

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: And the next thing, know, it's you know, three in

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: the morning and her and I are sitting there and

66
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: she's like, you know, it was great. And every year

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: we say the same thing, and it was beautiful. Yeah,

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: glad it's over, But it was beautiful as it was

69
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 2: going on. And then Christmas Day is nice and shell

70
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: so it's it's it was a it was a nice night.

71
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: How was how impressive, by the way, I know what

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: we got off to get to today? How impressive was Netflix?

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: As as jaded as I was going into this thing

74
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: after the way they blew the fight and I thought

75
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: it was going to be terrible. I thought Netflix broadcast

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: of Christmas Day games, I mean, I don't know what

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: they did for that screen quality to get it like that,

78
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: but my god, like it just looked amazing. And I

79
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: thought their camera work looked amazing. Yeah, clarity of the

80
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: shots were great, like the overall broadcast, just I think

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: it puts several broadcast to shame. I thought Beyonce was

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: absolutely killer in that halftime. So that was a super

83
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime show for a Christmas Day game, Like, I

84
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: just look, I know there's there was plenty of doubt

85
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: about that coming in, but man, I thought, I thought

86
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Netflix just crushed that thing on Christmas Day.

87
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was going to bring the number

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: up to here because I think you're right. I had

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: some weird buffering issues. I'm not sure, okay if it's

90
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: me though, because most people did not and I'm like,

91
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: maybe I need to upgrade my system or whatever.

92
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

93
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: I'm not the most tech savvy, right, I thought cable right,

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, I respect that, you know, so maybe it's

95
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: something along those lines.

96
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe it was my own doing.

97
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: I got to get upgraded, like from comcasts because I

98
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: stole my routers old And maybe.

99
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: That's what it is.

100
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: But to your point, yeah, I mean the camera work

101
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: and the production, uh was just excellent and Netflix killed it.

102
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: I will say this, sixty five million people watched Christmas

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: Day two games. Now they were both bad games. However,

104
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: you had Mahomes and Lamar and so you had two

105
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: stars and they played terrific. They were great, and I

106
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: just I go nothing. I was having this conversation the

107
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: other day. I'm like, sixty five million people watching the

108
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: NFL on Christmas Day? When do we ever have any

109
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: shared experience? I mean, these are Super Bowl type of numbers.

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: Sixty five million. It's crazy. It's a staggering number to

111
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: five right, five million people watch the NBA compared to

112
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: sixty five bouts in the NFL. And you think about

113
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: the sheer volume of those numbers and all they did

114
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: was take two games from Sunday and put them on Wednesday,

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: and people ate it up.

116
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it look I think it speaks to and

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: the fact that the NBA was trying to turn around

118
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: and say, well, look, our numbers are up to our

119
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: numbers are up too, and it's like that's a problem.

120
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: Like that's a problem that your numbers are up and

121
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to praise that and you're getting your buck

122
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: kicked that way. I mean, this is just this is

123
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: the NFL showing you exactly who they are. They're just

124
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: they're the bully on the block. And you know, it

125
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: felt special. It did. I'll be honest, like, I wondered

126
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: if you know, this would feel like just you know,

127
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: for all the people like, oh, the NFL is taken

128
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: over another day for no good reason. I wondered if

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: it would feel like that, And I didn't think it did.

130
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: I felt like it truly to me, felt like a

131
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: special kind of like Thanksgiving just has a different feel.

132
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Everything about that broadcast felt like it had a different feeling.

133
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Guess what if Netflix is getting in the sports game,

134
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a game changer. I mean, because the

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: other part of it is not just the number of

136
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: people watching, but over two hundred countries. Like it is

137
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: apparent that the NFL is focused on international growth, just

138
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: like the NBA has for years, Right, the NFL is

139
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: growing with this international series. Part of what they wanted

140
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: was over two hundred countries across the world watching that

141
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: game in that moment. That's just that's that's a home

142
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: run for the league if you can get those sorts

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: of numbers all over the world watching it. And yeah,

144
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: neither of those games weren't necessarily what anybody wanted them

145
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: to be, but the fact is it didn't matter. It

146
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: just had that Christmas Day This is special. You're sitting

147
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: down with your family watching feel and it's you know,

148
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: at this point, the NFL is cemented that they're going

149
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: to be the Christmas tradition moving forward, just like Thanksgiving

150
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Day is an important day. I will be looking at

151
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: the calendar every year excited for what the Christmas Day

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: game is going to be.

153
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the only change that they'll make is

154
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: the lads and like game, I think that's it.

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: You think they will, you think they'll they'll we'll go on.

156
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I'm surprised.

157
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: They didn't this year. Honestly, like, why have too and

158
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: not have that third?

159
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: I think it was.

160
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: It was a soft kind of happening on a Wednesday, right,

161
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: because look what you had to do, right, You had

162
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: to play those games on a Saturday. You can only

163
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: have four You had to have four teams and then

164
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: mix them up, right, so all four teams played on

165
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: Saturday to make it Wednesday. Now next year it's Christmas

166
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 2: falls on a Thursday. So you ain't got to worry

167
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: about that. You got three days, right, You're good to go.

168
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: You got three games. You're not gonna have amazon dude,

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: be the be the Christmas Night one.

170
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, that's actually you're one thousand percent right.

171
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: And then just think about the fact that, look, we

172
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: had frankly, we had two Wednesday games that were we

173
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: had a Thursday night game that was painful. We have

174
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: three Saturday games by the time we get to Sunday,

175
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: and then Sunday night and Monday night. By the time

176
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: we get to this Sunday on what is a particularly

177
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: pitiful slate of games this weekend, there are a lot

178
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: of bad games, and they're all very like Sunday one

179
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: pm and four pm. Those games stink. There's just a

180
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: lot of games that stink, and we're still gonna flock

181
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: to it, like it's pretty amazing. You and I last

182
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: week on air were saying how excited we were, rightfully so,

183
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: for the college football Playoff, and the question was could

184
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: they compete and the answer was they they didn't. I mean,

185
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: we all saw the TV numbers, like the NFL went

186
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: out and beat the first round of the college football

187
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: Playoff for the first time that we've ever seen the

188
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: college football player.

189
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: What was the what was the ft? I didn't see

190
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: the numbers.

191
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: I guesst of it here. It was I think the

192
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: night games were around fourteen million, which is good, but

193
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: the Saturday games that were up against the NFL specifically

194
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: did like six million to the NFL's fourteen to fifteen million.

195
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: They didn't even do half. They didn't even do half

196
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: of the NFL's number.

197
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and I wonder if those games were

198
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: more competitive, had you know, would that change a bit?

199
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: Right? I don't know?

200
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's where where like the the at

201
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: least the Notre Dame in Ohio State games, because they

202
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: weren't up against an NFL game, did Okay, numbers. But yeah,

203
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be real, we got blowouts, which, frankly,

204
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: if you were listening to the Fellas last Saturday, I

205
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: think we told you you were gonna get to mostly blowouts.

206
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: Guess what I think this college football playoff, we're gonna

207
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: get mostly blowouts. This is just the matchups aren't right

208
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: this year. And that's because the seating wasn't what like.

209
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: And for all the people that are like, well, you

210
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: guys keep complaining about the seating, well, it gave us

211
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: terrible matchups. I mean, it's just like fun matchups brand wise,

212
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: but these were gonna be the blowouts. And that's sort

213
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: of the price the cost of doing business when you

214
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: do business this way. So you know, I don't know

215
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: what everybody expected.

216
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm one.

217
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: I was having a kind of sure, what a buddy

218
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: of mine because I love ball seas.

219
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 3: I do.

220
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: I love ball seats. It sounds stupid, but I always

221
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: love the balls, right, and it's their dad. He's like,

Speaker 3: I can't be.

225
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: Big actually huge, like or is he is that just

226
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:09,880

227
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: Like big tall? No, he's like six five six four.

228
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: I want a big nick to be ironic, but that's okay,

229
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: now big Knicks literal. He's big Nikki. Yeah, Nikki Primos.

Speaker 2: He owns a sandwich. Uh well I was.

231
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: Before you said what he owned. I was like, that's

232
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: the name of a guy that owns a deli. That's Oh,

233
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: that's amazing, Nicky Nicki Primos, That's that's amazing.

234
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so it was.

235
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: So we're talking about this and he's right, like, you know,

236
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: like they completely guess what. I've actually still watched and

237
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: enjoyed the hell the usc A and M game last night.

238
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: It was freaking awesome. Watson Cole McCord was awesome. It

239
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: was great.

240
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: The Toledo pickame was really really good, all the.

241
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: Brawls in the Toledo picking. Two games that don't have

242
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: two teams that don't have historic rivalries sat there and

243
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: fought their way through a bowl game and we're talking

244
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: too fool games don't matter. I'm like, that's amazing to me.

245
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: That's supposed to be the moment where teams are like, nah,

246
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm out, and instead, nope, they were fighting the whole way.

247
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

248
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: I love that.

249
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I just think like I listen, they got

250
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,479
Speaker 2: to fix the We know this, everybody said it. Everybody's

251
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: on top of it. You got to fix the portal.

252
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: You can't have free agents like it be like NFL

253
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: have a free agency the first week of the playoffs.

254
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: Like you can't do that, right, right, you know, it's ridiculous.

255
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: So they got to number one. Fix that, fix the seeds,

256
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: like they know what they have to do, Like they

257
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: know they completely screwed up. But it's all right because

258
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: this was needed to happen so they could actually fix

259
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: it and get it right. And I mean, I just

260
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: think once you fix the portal and get the dates right,

261
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: fix the seating, and get the format right, you're gonna

262
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: be good. The only thing that scares me is what's

263
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: it going to take to fix the portal because everybody sues, right,

264
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: so you know, we can have this whole conversation that hey,

265
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna move the portal back and we're gonna stop

266
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: with the pretense about semesters and getting in. Every school

267
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: is gonna be in on it, and they'll have to

268
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: agree that the kid is allowed in the second semester,

269
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: no matter when it falls. Blah blah blah blah, blah.

270
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: But all it takes is for somebody to sue and

271
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: that's the end of it.

272
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Right, And that's I mean, hell, we're seeing that with

273
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: eligibility requirements to the quarterback for and Andy suing saying that

274
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: Juco shouldn't count for his requirements, and you know, everybody

275
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: backing down and saying, okay, you know, yeah, we're seeing

276
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: this all the time. And you're right that that's there

277
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: are times, you know, as much as you know collective

278
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: bargaining and agents and these sorts of things to become

279
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: nasty words. Part of the reason that collective bargaining is

280
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: good for the players and the leagues is because it

281
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: allows everybody to figure out how to move forward and

282
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: get things negotiated in a way that doesn't result in

283
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: an individual lawsuit every time it happens. College football doesn't

284
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: have that advantage, so you're right, right, everybody just suits

285
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: and they win every time. So yeah, this isn't about fanom.

286
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: It's about legality at this point, and that's a weird

287
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: concept for everybody to sort of wrap their heads around,

288
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, I mean, certainly there are things

289
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: to fix. I feel like this is the this is

290
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: the nerdy moment of the college football calendar and playoff

291
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: where there's somebody in the room and well, guys, I

292
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: told you this was gonna happen, but nobody wanted to

293
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: believe it. You can only make so much change it once.

294
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: We do have to have a little understanding that you know,

295
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: everybody's dealing with the new format, new system and some

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: things that were inevitable. But you also sort of have

297
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: to see it and practice before you can freak.

298
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: Out exactly, like you know, like they'll fix it, like

299
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: I rerat'll get a handle on it and it'll get

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: but it's still awesome, I'll tell you, Like I still

301
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: think everything's grown. I think it's I think it's bigger.

302
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: The NFL thing is is just amazing. You know, Like

303
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: there's three games today and like you said, we'll just.

304
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: Consume the hell out of that, okay, And you know, and.

305
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: Then tomorrow everybody will watch in Minnesota Green Bay, and

306
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: everybody will watch the Sunday night game even though it's

307
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: not that good, and everybody will watch Monday night. It's

308
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable how that sport captivates us.

309
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: It just it does.

310
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: It's and listen, like I know, the NBA and the

311
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: NBA gets back up and this and that, but let's

312
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: be real here for a second. I mean these games,

313
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: they just don't matter in the NBA, the regular season games.

314
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: I did to watch a minute of the NBA action

315
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, and that's not an NBA fan. It's

316
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: just like by the time I watched football, then I

317
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: had other things to do and I was like, okay,

318
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was still Christmas, so it was like,

319
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's this moment for me where it's like

320
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: and also frankly for all the people like oh Lebron

321
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: and Steph for the draw, Yeah, I guess, but I

322
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: mean I don't know, Like I'm just sort of tell

323
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: me why I should care, like as you know, and

324
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: for anyone that's about to hit me with, I just don't.

325
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't love ball. As you know, I'm a hockey fan.

326
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: I haven't paid a single second of attention to to hockey.

327
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm going to cover college basketball, and when

328
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: I cover college basketball, I will start with everybody. So

329
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: like this dirty little secret, but like you know, I

330
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: was out on the road with Game Day for a

331
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: year and I watched Reese start, you know, Reese Davis

332
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: is better than anybody, so much of this stuff, and

333
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: watching Reese try and ballots the last three weeks of

334
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: the college football season where he's cramming college basketball at

335
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: the same time, it was really just it was art.

336
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: Like the fact is that nobody's paying atten right now

337
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: of college basketball. I love it, but nobody's paying attention

338
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: to it. I'll have a game on in the background

339
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: that I don't even care about the final score, but

340
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting there like absorbing it. So when we

341
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and there's less football to consume,

342
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: then I'll do what I do every year, like I'll

343
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: start going back and watching all the college basketball. I

344
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: can't get ready for March madness, Like that's that's because

345
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: that's my job. Like I don't, I just don't know.

346
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: You know at this point, how the NBA cuts through

347
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: when it's impossible to make it. It is impossible to

348
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: give Christmas Day games meaning other than well, this is

349
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: a fun little exhibition and that that's not.

350
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: Worth it to me, now I know, I mean, you

351
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: know again, I think it runs into the same issues

352
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 2: about devaluing the regular season. Now the game needs to

353
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: be fixed. You know, they sold their soul. And again

354
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: I go back to it because you know, it wasn't

355
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: always like that. Jordan watching Mike, Michael Jordan and the ball.

356
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: I covered those games. I mean I was a reporter

357
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 2: and I would cover the Christmas Day games in Chicago

358
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: United Center, and those games mattered, like those games felt

359
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: like Eventschris.

360
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: You know, Bulls.

361
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: Knicks Christmas Day was always fun and everybody watched it.

362
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: Now was that because there was no football or because

363
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: Bulls Knicks was better? I do think the product was

364
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: way better. The game is a better game.

365
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: And also not for nothing, but for a long time,

366
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: you couldn't see Michael Jordan every single night of the week.

367
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: You couldn't see so like because there wasn't the same

368
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: if you lived in Vegas like I lived in you know,

369
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: all over the country growing up, so it wasn't like

370
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: for me. I actually was was a huge Lakers fan

371
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: as a kid, and you know, going across country when

372
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: I moved to the East Coast. Part of what made

373
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: those Lakers Celtics matchups so cool was like I couldn't

374
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: see the Lakers every game. That didn't exist, like hello, kids,

375
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: there was a life pre internet and we didn't have

376
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: these six and so a you knew how important the

377
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: matchups were be you couldn't see them every day. So

378
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: like it felt like America sort of flocked to it

379
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: now that there is just constant you can get every game,

380
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: even without the NBA League Pass, you can get pretty

381
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: much every important game throughout the course of it. It

382
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: just it makes it tough for all of these things

383
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: make it tougher to make people care about this one game.

384
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: And also, as we've talked about a million times, the

385
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: players don't play like they give a damn most of

386
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: the time. So I mean, it's just I'm just being honest,

387
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel that every you know, yeah, that is.

388
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: The game itself, Like watching Mike.

389
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: I hate to tell God, I hate doing this with Kobe,

390
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: you know, I hate talking about you know, Kobe and

391
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: deifying how it was back then, you know, but it's true,

392
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: like those games were exciting.

393
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, in my mind's eye, I.

394
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: Just remember Kobe playing like it was the playoff game

395
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: and not not wanting to lose.

396
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: I just don't get that vibe.

397
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: And it just maybe it's just because it's just too

398
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: easy to just jack up threes and that's the game.

399
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

400
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: And I know they get their back up and the

401
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: commissioner gets his back up about it, but he's presided.

402
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: And look, they're making money.

403
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: But if that's all you care about and that's how

404
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: you measure success, then fine. But the game is not

405
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: well and he can bristle at it all he wants,

406
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: bristle at the media. Oh it's old haters, this and

407
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: that nonsense. It's not as good.

408
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And all you have to do is watch it

409
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: and feel like sometimes if you're defending it and you're

410
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: just yelling and screaming into it into the clouds, you

411
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: got to look around and say, Okay, what is actually

412
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: happening here? And how do I Like they always say

413
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: in business, you got to figure out who your customers

414
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: are and what your customers actually want. Sometimes I question

415
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: if the NBA has actually took it, taking a look

416
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: at it and say, hey, what do our customers actually want? Analytics?

417
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: Then I'm not the guy that yells and screams about

418
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: analytics typically, but analytics figuring out the value of the

419
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: three and devaluing the two has become such an interesting

420
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: part of the change in basketball because I understand why

421
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: it's the right strategy, but my god, it just seeing

422
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: the way they you know, inappropriate play now in basketball,

423
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: it's the same sort of play that people used to

424
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: scream in the gym. Oh my god, don't shoot that.

425
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: So like it's crazy to me, it's crazy.

512
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 6: Right, they still slay, rides in the snow if you

00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: I wish it was Christmas every day. Well, if you

516
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: can't sing that song, if you're trying to turn the

517
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: music off on the twenty six now, I'll be an

518
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: old man. For a minute, because unlike I'm actually old

519
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: and so one thing that I always remember is when

520
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: I was a kid again pre internet people, which means

521
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: there was no serious or anything for like any of

522
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: us to get through to to listen to Christmas music.

523
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: The only real shot you had was if you own

524
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: records or tapes, you put those on in your house,

525
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: and then the local station there was always one that

526
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: would flip over to Christmas music the day before Christmas

527
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: eve Day, and they'd flip over, and at noon on

528
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: Christmas they would stop, like they would go back to

529
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: being regular music. So maybe because when I was a kid,

530
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: you had to hunt for this stuff so much. I

531
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: sit there, I'm like, man, I don't want it to stop,

532
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: because like it was the worst. When you're like you

533
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: barely opened your presence and you're like, all right, it's

534
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: noon and we're now back to, you know, whatever was

535
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: popular at the time. We're not back. I don't I

536
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: don't want that, you know, I don't know why I.

537
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 3: Pulled out these rules. You know, I'm with you. I'm

538
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: completely with Mark.

539
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: Play the Christmas music every door and all the breaks.

540
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, Mark, you can play Christmas music in June

541
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't fault your money.

542
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 6: It just means that you have I'm listening to what

00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 6: you both are saying. But there's somebody giving me a look.

00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,040

546
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,800

00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: It's it's funny. Yeah, we do it. Uh so are

621
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: we clear, Brie? Are we good? Do we have your blessing?

622
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 7: Yes, father son? Christmas music, go for it, Holy Spirit.

623
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 7: We are ready to go jingle bell rock, even though

624
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 7: there's no more jingle belling to do.

625
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: Okay, But you understand the concept of the season, right, Oh, I.

626
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 7: Wonderful time of the year. I love that. That's a

627
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 7: great song. It's the most wonderful time of the year,

628
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 7: because that's not Christmas, y, that's a season, like you said, right,

629
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 7: there's so there's different types of Christmas music.

630
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 1: That's But if I'm dashing through the snow, can't I

631
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: still be dashing through the snow all through? Like in theory,

632
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: I can weather snow in one horse open sleigh for

633
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: for months at a time.

634
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 7: Acceptable, there's no I don't mention.

635
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: I don't even think frosty.

636
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: Don't if frost snow, Frosty exists.

637
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 7: Frosty. Yes, but rude off. See, that's no good because

638
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 7: the Christmas is over. There's no more Rudolf.

639
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: Rudolf is gone, so like he works his tail off

640
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: and then we don't even appreciate.

641
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 7: Him at about you guys, he's getting a toe.

642
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you can't risk that red nose.

643
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: Really, that's the last thing he's doing. He's relaxed now

644
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: by the fire Pinia Kolada.

645
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 7: You guys, Bloody Mary's to match the red nose. Oh

646
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 7: my gosh, we saw it. We thought.

647
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: By the way, the Travolta Santa Claus is still the greatest.

648
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: Santa Claus.

649
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 6: That was the best idea for commercial to have them

650
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 6: dancing in the Santa suit.

651
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: The greatest. Yeah, they did a killer job on that.

652
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: He was great.

653
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: He was I think he's the He's a great he

654
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: was the best stand of all the Sanders. He's strong.

655
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: Sand Andy Ree was there too. Speaking of which, we

656
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: got to talk about them. They are unbelievable. I mean,

657
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: you felt the Patriots dynasty was special. Let's talk about

658
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: the kiddessity a little bit. Uh, lots of get to

659
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,600

00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: Most one time. Oh we're back, baby.

662
00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 3: See all of a sudden, the smiled Hey Mark is

665
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 7: song because it's a time it's like it's talking about

666
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 7: something broad like a time of the year.

667
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: No, God, that's great, fellas Jason Fitz Anthony Garotta from

668
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: the tire rack dot Com studios.

669
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 3: Yes, Amy Reid was a great Santa Uh dude, they're better.

670
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 3: They're better than they were last year.

671
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: Man.

672
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: They're so good that now you get Hollywood Brown.

673
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: Right now you have actual three weapons on the outside

674
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: receivers to go with Kelsey and your two running backs.

675
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: And they fixed their offensive line by kick about Tony

676
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: to tackle. Tony who's a great guard, right they kick

677
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: him out to tackle, and they put cali Endo a guard,

678
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: and Andy who knows how o line like anybody, like

679
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: nobody else fix their old line problems. And now all

680
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 2: of a sudden, their offense is back.

681
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: They suddenly and weirdly, like every every ounce of the

682
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: this isn't the same team that we've seen. They're not

683
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: that good. Blah blah blah. That's all just melted away,

684
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: Like you know, we keep asking for when it's going

685
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: to look easy for the Chiefs. So that's the last

686
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I mean, I don't just know. You

687
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: look at this team right now, and I understand Baltimore,

688
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: by the way, looks great. I don't want to take

689
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: anything away from Baltimore, but also you just look about

690
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: the Bills look great. I don't want to take anything

691
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: away from these teams. But the fact is, at some

692
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: point you just look just the eye tests, the eye test.

693
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: This does not match the Chiefs all year, and the

694
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: eye test now matches the Chiefs. That's the part of

695
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: this that is just suffocating for everybody. If you are

696
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: fatigued of Kansas City, this is not going to be

697
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: a great year for you. It just isn't. I just

698
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: I know that everybody wants to sit here and find

699
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: a reason why it's not going to be the same old,

700
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: same old, and and heck maybe it won't. You never know.

701
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: It's wild in the playoffs. But if your answer is, well,

702
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs really aren't that good, that's been the easy

703
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: thing so many people have been able to say over

704
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: the course of the last how long. And then you

705
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: look at what we've seen lately from this team, and

706
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean just the absolute demolition of the Texans and

707
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: the demolition of the Steelers, like these are teams like

708
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers were supposed to be according to most of

709
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: the Steelers were supposed to be a playoff team. They

710
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: went from winning the luckiest games you could possibly imagine

711
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: just going out and kicking the snot out of people.

712
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: And that's that's just real. Like they are kicking the

713
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: snot out of people now.

714
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess their margin of victory has

715
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: gone up over each of the last three games, or

716
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: certainly over the last month. And it just makes sense.

717
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you bring Hopkins in. Hopkins allows Worthy to

718
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 2: be the gadget big play guy. Then you got Hollywood Brown,

719
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 2: So now all of a sudden, you got two guys

720
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: capable of big plays. Hollywood Brown is a perfect mesh

721
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: between Hopkins and Worthy. And then, oh, by the way,

722
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 2: Kelsey can still catch the ball, right, so he could

723
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: still get open, and he's still posts up and he

724
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: can still catch the ball, and you got a running game.

725
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: And you've that all works because you've fixed your O

726
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: line and you have the best quarterback in football, so

727
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: you fixed your old line now. And by the way,

728
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: your defense, you have the best defensive coordinator of football.

729
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 3: So you're good.

730
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: And as much as listen, I love the Bills, and

731
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: you know we're falling on ourselves like you said.

732
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: You know, Josh down on the MVP Lamar.

733
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: An MVP candidate too, and look how great he's playing.

734
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, the Chiefs are just they just roll. It's crazy,

735
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: you know the other part of it, And they're way

736
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: more likable than Abaciro anybody says that the Patriots.

737
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the fact is this is very reminiscent to

738
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: me of when the Warriors went on there their run

739
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: and everybody just loves Steph through all of that. Like

740
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: there's just a likability for this team. And that's coming

741
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: from a guy right now as I talk to you

742
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: that is wearing a Raiders shirt, a Raiders hoodie, Raiders sweats,

743
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: and Raiders shorts, and even I have to step back

744
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: and say, man, the hardest part about this is that

745
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs are so good and so damn likable in the process,

746
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: Like that's real. And you know the other part of

747
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: it is is you well know, and anybody you talk to,

748
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: the guys that played and guys that have been around

749
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: locker rooms, like fatigue is a real thing. And it's

750
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: easy to look at this Chiefs team and say, man,

751
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: how how do you make Week seven matter as much

752
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: to them? When they're back to back Super Bowl champions,

753
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: and like they know how long the season is. And

754
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: it's not that they don't care about a regular season game.

755
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: It's just that they know what the real the end

756
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: goal is and you just reach a point where you

757
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: get numbed all of it. Last year, about this time

758
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: was when the Chiefs started to wake up and it

759
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: felt like they found that extra gear. All through the playoffs,

760
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, this is more like the Chiefs.

761
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: What do you know? You see that clip in the

762
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: locker room of Andy dancing around like Santa and all

763
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: the guys celebrating. There's a joy to what they're doing.

764
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: They're having fun with what they're doing, and they're getting

765
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: charged up. Like this is the time where the Chiefs

766
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: hit the next level. Like I know everybody sits here

767
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: on social media, it's just why do we constantly kiss

768
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs? But because we're seeing one of the greatest,

769
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: if not the greatest dynasty will ever see. So that's why,

770
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why.

771
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 2: Facts, Yes, facts, they do it the right way, man,

772
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: they do The coach is all has them buttoned up right,

773
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 2: like they just got them buttoned up. You're spot on, man,

774
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,480

775
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: Of instead of hating this entire process, maybe if you

776
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: don't have a dog in the fight, even if you're

777
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: rooting against him, just step back and just acknowledge, like

778
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,400

Speaker 1: we're seeing this, Like this is this is going to

780
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: be different. This is the sort of thing you'll tell

781
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: your grandkids about. Like I just just watch the greatness,

782
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: soak it in and appreciate it now.

783
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: And I think you're right. I think they're you know, listen,

784
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,720

Speaker 2: games sets up tomorrow and there's not a lot of

803
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: drama left before the playoffs. But what's going on in

804
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: the nc North is freaking awesome. Like we talked about

805
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and how great that story is, the story

806
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: of the NFC North is freaking awesome. Like, listen, blessed

807
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: the Lions, man, I mean being decimated, right, I mean

808
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: we talked about it over and over again, how they've

809
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 2: just been decimated by injuries.

810
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 3: And you know, listen, they don't miss a beat.

811
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: They going to Chicago, and I know the Bears are

812
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 2: a mess, but they go into Chicago, they take care

813
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: of business. Meanwhile, you're gonna have Green Bay and Minnesota

814
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 2: go at it tomorrow. Four twenty five, the lone game,

815
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: I mean, this division. Vikes at thirteen and two, the

816
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: Lions at thirteen and two. The pack at eleven and four,

817
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 2: those three teams are incredible.

818
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna finish fourteen and three and end up a

819
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: wild card, Like that's just crazy. I know that is

820
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: insane to think about. And you know, to your point,

821
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: the Lions have withstood incredible injuries to still be where

822
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: they are. I think we're all waiting to see if

823
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: that will sustain when they have to play the best

824
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: of the best. Right, Not that I don't think the

825
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: Lions are a great offense, It's just, man, how much

826
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: can any team suffer when it comes to injuries on

827
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and then on the

828
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: flip side of it, the Vikings. I mean, you want

829
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: to talk about the quietest two loss team I can

830
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: remember in a long time, Like nobody feels like it's

831
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: sitting there saying, you know, Vikings are a legitimate super

832
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: Bowl contender, and they are like that, Not only are

833
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: they a legitimate super Bowl contender, but they're in this

834
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: weird situation where just let's go back to August when

835
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: we weren't sure if JJ McCarthy, yes, yeah, like I

836
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: genuinely believe and I've said this repeatedly on my work

837
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: on Yahoo Sports. Sam Donald is gonna get franchised at

838
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: the end of this year. If he doesn't sign a

839
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: deal with the Vikings. Outright, he's gonna get franchised. They're

840
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: going to keep Sam Donald. They're not gonna let him

841
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: just walk out the door for nothing. But even at that,

842
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: even when they franchise him, I think the intent is, man,

843
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: we wanted to find a quarterback, and it sures hell

844
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: looks like we have So I don't believe they're just

845
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: gonna cut bait and see if JJ can play. We

846
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: have no idea that it makes the most sense here

847
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: for the Vikings to just sit here and say, let's

848
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: run it back. Like I believe their coordinators are going

849
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: to be back. Like the Vikings are sort of quietly

850
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: pressed set in a situation where they could be good

851
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: for the next several years doing just what they're doing

852
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: right now. And that's given the way that they've gotten

853
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. He had that little funk in the middle

854
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: of the season, we were all ready to say, Okay,

855
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: is this gonna be Sam Donald broken out of it.

856
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: He's playing so well. I think this is such a

857
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: perfect match because not only is Minnesota benefiting, but so

858
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Like, I mean, if I'm Sam, I want

859
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: to stay there. Like, look at the way he's viewed

860
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: today versus how he was viewed six months ago.

861
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean, let's face it, right, you know, the Jets

862
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: were unmitigated disaster. You know that that's dumpster fire franchise.

863
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: Carolina was going through it. It was during COVID. I

864
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: remember talking to Matt Ruhle, you know, he still had

865
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 2: I asked mad about Donald a while back, and we

866
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: were talking at him and he's like, dude, he goes

867
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: he could play. I mean we were just you know,

868
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 2: we were up against the COVID situation. We were trying

869
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 2: to establish something. They were looking for some continuity. They

870
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: really never had a chance to get that thing off

871
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: the ground in Carolina before temper poles to plug.

872
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 3: And I think that affected him.

873
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: And we're never going to learn right when we talk

874
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: about quarterbacks that it's got to be in the right situation,

875
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 2: the right coach, the right system. I mean for guys

876
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 2: to really flourish, Yes.

877
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: Is this matter system? Like I just this is such

878
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: an easy thing to say, but I got to yell

879
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: at for all of the fans out there that are

880
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: listening to have a team that suck like mine. It's

881
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: not just drafting a guy, it's making sure that what

882
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: you do with that guy gets the best out of him.

883
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: And I just don't believe the majority of coaches, gms,

884
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: and owners do a good job of that. I said

885
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: when Trevor Lawrence was drafted that the Jaggs would fail

886
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence before Trevor Lawrence would fail the Jags, and

887
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: I just I've taken that logic into almost every draft

888
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: pick we could possibly see. Like, I have no idea

889
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: if Bryce Young is actually going to be a long

890
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: term good quarterback, but I know that the Panthers did

891
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: everything they could to screw him over trying to get

892
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: him there. I there's no nice way to say that.

893
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just the constant thing you and

894
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: I have talked about before, like Mahomes isn't Mahomes if

895
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: he's not playing where he's playing. I genuinely believe that,

896
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, and you go up and down the list,

897
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: like for all the people that are obsessed with got

898
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: to get a first overall pick. Okay, well, just remember

899
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen became Josh Allen because he was drafted

900
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: somewhere that didn't listen to the outside noise. They had

901
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: a plan on how they were going to increase his accuracy.

902
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: I sat there and watched people that I worked with

903
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: at ESPN doing long rips on his highlight showing why

904
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: he would never be an accurate passer. And guess what,

905
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: the Bills didn't listen to any of that. They figured

906
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: it out, They got the method for him. Lamar Jackson

907
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: was supposedly not going to be a capable NFL quarterback

908
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: and he could be a three time NFL MVP. My god,

909
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: Like you look at all of this, it's just a

910
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: reminder that your favorite team needs to go out and

911
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: draft the right guy. Yes, but then they need to

912
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: develop that guy the right way. And that's where everybody

913
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: fails over and over and over.

914
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: And you know again you need the right coordinator, the

915
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: right head coach, right depending on if he's an offensive guy.

916
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 3: You know that that system needs to be in place, like.

917
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: The Bears, perfect example, Bear to bring them. The Bears

918
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: did not do the thing for me is when you

919
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: draft Caleb Williams as an organization, what what the entire

920
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: organization should do from the absolute top down. And I

921
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: keep yelling this. I don't care if it's the janitor.

922
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: If they don't speak Caleb Williams, get him out of

923
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: the building. Like the first thing you do when you

924
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback is you say, we're gonna surround that

925
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: quarterback with one voice that makes one sense, that is

926
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: to that quarterback skills that we can develop him into

927
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: the pro that he needs to be, because you know,

928
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: a tiger has its stripes, like look at Caleb's the downfall.

929
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: The only thing that I heard about Caleb coming out

930
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: from smart people that cover the team that I respect,

931
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: cover the draft that I respect, was look, he makes

932
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: these great highlight plays, but he holds the ball for

933
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: a long time, and sometimes there's a question, why did

934
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: you make the highlight play when the easy throw was

935
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: right there. That's real, and I think Caleb is a

936
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: superstar in the making. I believe in Caleb Williams. I

937
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: don't believe in the Bears to develop him. They haven't

938
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: done that in one year. And frankly, even Bears fans

939
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: that are sitting here saying, well, Ben Johnson's gonna save him.

940
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson likes a quarterback that is quick and efficient,

941
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: gets the ball out on time. Ben Johnson likes Jared Golf, Like,

942
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: I think you got to stop thinking about who the

943
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: hot name is and start looking at it and saying, Okay,

944
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: who speaks Caleb Williams to get the best time? Because

945
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: Andy Reid certainly figured out how to get the best

946
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: out of Patrick Mahomes, right, And I just I wish

947
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: more people would slow down and say, Okay, it's not

948
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: just the guy, it's who can develop the guy in

949
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: the right way, in the way that works for that player.

950
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: If the marriage isn't perfect, it's like an eighties tag team,

951
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: if you know, if both of them aren't perfect, man,

952
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna fail.

953
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And look, I mean you know, I mean

954
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 2: he's now they're runnerless, right. I watched you know, unfortunately

955
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 2: the Bears are own you know National TV.

956
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 3: Correct.

957
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 2: I mean we've watched that now and we've seen Caleb

958
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 2: and you know again, it's just like just what this

959
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: m O coming out is exactly what he is. And

960
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 2: you know, he makes some tremendous plays. I mean, he's

961
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: got a gifted arm. He can like the play he

962
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 2: makes in that terrible game the other night against Seattle

963
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: Thursday night where he's he's reversing field and going back

964
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 2: back back, and he makes a throw to I don't

965
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: know who swift, I guess it was, and it was

966
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 2: it was the DJ More and it was along the

967
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 2: right side, and it was It was a great ridiculous throw.

968
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 3: He should have been sacked. And you go, that's the

969
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: kind of arm talent the kid has.

970
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 2: But you know he's got right now, he's swimming like,

971
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: holds all the ball way too long three times when

972
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: he just has no feel for the game. He's got

973
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 2: no coaching. They can't figure out any kind of sort

974
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 2: of time management. You know, they have trouble getting plays

975
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 2: in now the head coach has gone, so that makes

976
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: it worse. But they're just an absolute mess of a

977
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: mess right like they're they desperately need Jim Harball. Oh

978
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 2: that's wait, they didn't want Jim Harball. Yeah, I mean

979
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 2: the jokes, like, honestly, that franchise is a joke. When

980
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 2: they're chanting to sell the team on Amazon right and

981
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: the postgame show for the whole world to hear it

982
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: was so profound. I mean, it's the same organization that

983
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 2: didn't take it me with Jim Harball. Are they out

984
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: of her minds well.

985
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: And according to some reports, Harball would never have wanted

986
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: to go there because he doesn't have a good relationship

987
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: with their president's CEO, Kevin Warren. And to that I

988
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: would say, cool, I'll find a new president and ceo,

989
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: like way here to find it. And and this is

990
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: the thing I will, I will.

991
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 3: I also heard I heard that he wanted to go there.

992
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 3: That was that was a place that he wanted to go.

993
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he loved the idea of Chicago. He just

994
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: the couple of reports where he didn't like Warren. And

995
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: if that's the case, Chicago, then you fire Warren and

996
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: you you go get Harball. I mean, look, my beloved

997
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: Raiders chose not to even interview in any meaningful way Harball,

998
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: uh and went with Antonio Pearson instead, which I understood.

999
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: I said at the time, I understand why this is happening,

1000
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: but if this doesn't work, it's going to be a bad,

1001
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: bad look. And what do you know, it looks like

1002
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: a bad bad look when you look at what the

1003
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: Chargers are doing and look at what the Raiders are

1004
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: doing like this is for to sell the team crowd,

1005
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: I will remind everybody. Unfortunately, if your favorite team stinks.

1006
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: You don't get to tell your ownership to sell. Like

1007
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: if your favorite restaurant goes in the dumps, you don't

1008
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: get to kick down the door and tell them you

1009
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: gotta sell this place. You're ruining the food. That's not

1010
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: the way business works in America. Unfortunately, your team stinks.

1011
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: The problem is go up and down the list of

1012
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the NFL right now, and you'll

1013
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: see most of the worst teams have most of the

1014
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: worst owners right Like the Giants, you're an abject disaster

1015
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: the Raiders ownership. Obviously, it's not that Mark Davis hasn't tried.

1016
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: It's just that, obviously he's not good at identifying the

1017
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 1: right talent. So like, okay, nothing you could do about

1018
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: that shotcom for the Jags is a joke, right, So

1019
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: just keep going up and down the list of the

1020
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: worst teams in the NFL. And we hear all the

1021
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: time cultures built from the top down, right like in

1022
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: any business, Well, culture is built from the top down

1023
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL too. If your owner is an idiot

1024
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to basic football moves, if your owner's

1025
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, you're gonna struggle. You just are. You don't

1026
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: get to tell the guy to sell, and there's nothing

1027
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: you can do to take somebody's hand out of the

1028
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: out of the cookie jar once they're in there. So

1029
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: it's it's an unfortunate situation to be in.

1030
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1031
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean we got on the subject of

1032
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,919
Speaker 2: this whole thing because we're talking about the NFC North

1033
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: sometimes at the backtrack of how we got some meandering

1034
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 2: way through the forest, right, and we got there talking

1035
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 2: about the NFC North. I do want to do a

1036
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 2: showdown later on in the program, and it's a Raiders

1037
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 2: Bears showdown about who's the worst franchise, truly the worst,

1038
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 2: because you're talking about two teams that were the top

1039
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 2: of the eighties, Right, the Raiders they win it in

1040
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: eighty three, Right, the Raiders were the team of the

1041
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 2: seventies into the eighties. The Bears had the most dominating

1042
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: team still probably to this day, the Bears eighty five

1043
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 2: Bears in the two thousand Ravens were probably the two

1044
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: most dominant defense in the history of the league.

1045
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 3: So we're going to take it from that moment of

1046
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 3: the eighties and we'll do.

1047
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 2: A showdown Raiders versus Bears because you're iconic franchises, right, right,

1048
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 2: Bears Raiders iconic franchises. They're not Jackson though, right, all

1049
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: due respect to the Jaguars. So what has Who's the

1050
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 2: king of calamity? So I want to kind of go

1051
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 2: through it coaches, quarterbacks and kind of do the tail

1052
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 2: of the tape, which I'm sure you can recite chapter

1053
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 2: and verse off the top of your head.

1054
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. Like look, I will say this.

1055
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: I've often joked because as most people know that I've

1056
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: consumed my work. I'm a Raiders fan because my dad

1057
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: is a big Raiders fan. When I was a kid,

1058
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: he would go get a dozen donuts, we'd sit down

1059
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: together and we watch the La Raiders. When I was

1060
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: in Vegas, every Sunday we watched the La Raiders as

1061
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 1: a kid. And I have often joked, man, why couldn't

1062
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: my dad have been a you know, a Packers fan

1063
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: or a Patriots fan through all of these dynasties or

1064
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: continual continual success. I made that joke, and somebody said

1065
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: to me a couple of months ago, when I made

1066
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: the joke, He's like, Hey, for what it's worth, your

1067
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 1: dad was like in the seventies and eighties. The Raiders

1068
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: were that team. So you're you're like, it was not

1069
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: like this was one of the better franchises in all

1070
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: of sports in the seventies and eighties. Since it's like, man,

1071
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: I forget about that sometimes because I haven't seen that

1072
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: in my adult life. I have not seen that.

1073
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 2: But you know the history of it all right, like

1074
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I'm not that

1075
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: wasn't a literal question, you know, the history of the

1076
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 2: Raiders and Madden and al Davis out Davis being Steinbrenner, right, Like,

1077
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: I mean, they were they were just the Yankees, you know,

1078
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 2: which is for those people that don't remember that or

1079
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: we're alive, don't know about that stuff.

1080
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 3: I mean they were.

1081
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 2: I mean they were a huge They were a huge deal.

1082
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: They were a big deal. The Raiders, like they were, man,

1083
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 2: they were mythical in a lot of ways, you know that.

1084
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 2: I mean they were the NFL. The NFL films made

1085
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 2: them right, or you know, the whole thing they worked

1086
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 2: and them together, the autumn win was a pirate.

1087
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 3: It was all about them.

1088
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels all right.

1089
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: So we got there to this point by talking about

1090
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 2: the greatness of the NFC North.

1091
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 3: We start with Minnesota and the Vikings.

1092
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 2: You're right or under the radar because of the anti

1093
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 2: Donald bias, They're under the radar. But they have a

1094
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 2: really good defense, Like their run defense is very good.

1095
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 2: Flores is a great defensive coordinator. They have all the

1096
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 2: weapons of the world. I mean, again, you used to

1097
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 2: talk about Donald, but look look at Jefferson, Addison, Naylor, Hockinson,

1098
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones.

1099
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 3: I mean, are you kidding me that you put that

1100
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:19,240
Speaker 3: crew up against anybody?

1101
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 1: No, yep. And they have one of the better coaches

1102
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL too. I just we saw we saw

1103
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: what O'Connell was able to do last year piecemealing at

1104
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and it's just alarming to see how

1105
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 1: much he's been able to get out of this offense

1106
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: with one quarterback being And part of this is Darnald,

1107
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 1: but part of this is also consistency at the position,

1108
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, compared to what he dealt with last year.

1109
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, when the injury bug started to come in

1110
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: and then it was a revolving door at the quarterback position.

1111
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: So you know, I think that's that's what makes this

1112
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: really interesting. You've got one of the better offensive tacticians,

1113
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: and you've got one of the better defensive coordinators in

1114
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. And really, frankly, if you look at the

1115
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: North where we started this comment, I would say the

1116
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: same thing at this point about Matt Lafleur. I would

1117
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: say the same thing at this point obviously about the

1118
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: Lions and their coaching staff. Like you have, the three

1119
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: teams that are really dominant in this division are all

1120
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: well coached, and they all have weapons that they can

1121
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: rely on to win football games in a myriad of

1122
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: different ways. They can all run the ball when they

1123
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: need to, they can all pass the ball when they

1124
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: need to, They all have they all have beast running

1125
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: backs that can take over when they need to, and

1126
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: they all have weapons that are hard to cover one

1127
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: on one, Like it's tough to stop each of them.

1128
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: And so it's funny because Minnesota, of the three we're

1129
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: talking about, Minnesota has by far, I believe, the best defense, right,

1130
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: Like that's not even because of the injuries, particularly to

1131
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: the Lions. Minnesota has a huge advantage defensively. So the

1132
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: question is I think the.

1133
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 3: Like Green Bay's front a lot?

1134
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: I do I like their front a lot. I agree

1135
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: with you on that I think green Bay in this conversation,

1136
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota is the best defense. Green Bay is the second

1137
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: best defense. The Lions are the third best defense because

1138
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: of the injury. So you know what's interesting is any

1139
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: given Sunday, like when these two teams play, when the

1140
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: Vikings play the Lions week eighteen, Man, this is it's

1141
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: truly going to be earned. Like the best team here

1142
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: is going to earn their way into that number one

1143
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: seed in a bye. And that's just it's wild to

1144
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: think of how good these teams are. And let's throw

1145
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: Philly into that mix. If Jalen Hurts gets right.

1146
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll think quick. Til will come right back and

1166
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 2: talk and a little u NFL North.

1167
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 3: So here's the thing.

1168
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 2: I don't understand why is Minnesota not a favorite over

1169
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 2: green Bay at home?

1170
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

1171
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean that one surprises me. Honestly, I can't figure

1172
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: out why other than just like I said, it feels

1173
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: like the world is slow to give Minnesota a lot

1174
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: of credit here and.

1175
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 3: The line is moved right, so Minnesota's a slight. It

1176
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 3: opened up.

1177
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 2: Green Bay was the FA and now it's moved, its

1178
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 2: steamed to Minnesota. Min It's those one and a half

1179
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: still like even though there was a line Chaine online movement.

1180
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: I was surprised that green Bay came in as the favorite,

1181
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 2: and even now it's a pretty short line.

1182
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I think the Packers, particularly the team

1183
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: that i've I've miacole plud several times this year.

1184
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:27,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was wrong.

1185
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: We argued badly, continued to do that.

1186
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 3: You know who we argue. We argued love Jordan Love.

1187
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we ordered it. And I was wrong about the Cowboys,

1188
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: certainly wrong about the Cowboys. There's no doubt about that.

1189
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Jordan Love still takes some risks sometimes that you know,

1190
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: But look, Jordan Love is is played really well throughout

1191
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: the course of this and they've been on a bit

1192
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: of a heater the last few weeks against you know,

1193
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: some questionable opponents.

1194
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the States. You know, you don't get

1195
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,959
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, points for beating that direk

1196
01:00:59,160 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 2: the drek out.

1197
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 3: Of that team.

1198
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: You look at their there. If you go through and

1199
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: again I'm not trying to apply the college football model here,

1200
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: but if you take the Lions games out the two

1201
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: losses that they have through this win streak, other than

1202
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: the Lions, I mean the Jags, the Bears, the forty

1203
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: nine Ers, the Dolphins, the Seahawks, like they're not beaten Juggernauts.

1204
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: I think this is an important game to really figure

1205
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: out where these two teams stand. And really it's an

1206
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: important game because of what we talked about before the break,

1207
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: the two respective defenses. I want to see how these

1208
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: offenses perform against better level of defenses than they've seen

1209
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: for much of this much of the season, so that

1210
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: that's a real I think litanus test in all of this.

1211
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: And the interesting line in the NFC is going to

1212
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: be because I'm looking squarely at the Eagles, and let's

1213
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: just we're going to presume for the sake of this

1214
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: discussion that Jalen Hurts comes out of concussion protocol and

1215
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: is fine. And if we come out of concussion protocol

1216
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: and he is fine, I'm still looking at the Eagles. Fine, yeah, right,

1217
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: And so I'm looking at this saying, this is an

1218
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Eagles team that can beat you a million different ways offensively.

1219
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: But that's the same thing that I could say about

1220
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings. That's the same thing I could say about

1221
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: the Lions. So let's let's couch the offensive conversation for

1222
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: a second and then just look at the defenses. If

1223
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Lions, the Vikings, the Packers, and

1224
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the four respective defenses here, the Eagles defense

1225
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: is the one that I wouldn't want to face, right,

1226
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: So I'm genuinely interested to see how the Vikings and

1227
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Lions play against better defenses, because if we're going to

1228
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: talk about who belongs to the Super Bowl, I honestly

1229
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: think that side of the ball is going to be

1230
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: the that's going to be the defining moment here for

1231
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: whichever team makes it. Like, all of the offenses on

1232
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: the elite teams can perform well enough, so which defense

1233
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: is going to be the hardest to get through?

1234
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? I agree, I do.

1235
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 2: I agree of all those teams, even with Montgomery on

1236
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 2: the sidelines, I still put Detroit as the top offense.

1237
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 3: But you're to your point, they're all right there.

1238
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 2: I mean, the Eagles offense ridiculous because you have two

1239
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 2: unbelievable weapons in Barkley and A J.

1240
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 3: Brown. Like, you can't man up a J. Brown.

1241
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 2: They'll beat you in man coverage until destroy you in

1242
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 2: man coverage. And opposite a J. Brown is DeVante Smith.

1243
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 2: So you got two elite, elite receivers to go with

1244
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 2: the triangle of Barkley.

1245
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 3: So you know that's formidable.

1246
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Obviously, we talk about the Lions green Bay with Jacobs,

1247
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 2: and you know they got two tight ends now at

1248
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 2: Musgrove's back, and they got a slower receivers, right, like

1249
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 2: they go five deep down into Wicks at receiver. And

1250
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 2: then we went through the Minnesota's offense. So like you

1251
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 2: look at these offenses, they're all really good and so

1252
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 2: your theory's right, it's whitch defense. And you know it

1253
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 2: also depends like where you're play him to like if

1254
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 2: you play the Lions, I still and I know that

1255
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 2: you know the Buffalo wented to the dome and smacked

1256
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 2: them around, but I still believe, Man, if you put

1257
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 2: them in a dome in the playoffs sort a tough out,

1258
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 2: I don't care who's who's playing them.

1259
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where you know, home field is such a

1260
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: massive I think if we're talking about the home fields

1261
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't want to have to go through, Philly

1262
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: is number one because the elements played into that, right,

1263
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: Like I don't have to worry about the elements in

1264
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: Detroit or Minnesota. I have to worry about the elements

1265
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: in Philly and green Bay. But green Bay is not

1266
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: part of this home field advantage conversation, right, So With

1267
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: that being said, I'm looking at Philly's the one if

1268
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: the entire NFC should be rooting against Philly to get

1269
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: home field advantage from there, I do. I agree with

1270
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: you like I think the Lions and Vikings both. I mean,

1271
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: it's chaotic, The Dome is going to be wild. It's

1272
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: going to be crazy. The NFC has truly given and

1273
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: it's what's funny about this is we all knew the

1274
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: NFC North was going to be very good. I think

1275
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: most of us included Chicago and the conversation, didn't realize

1276
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: they were going to be as terrible as they are.

1277
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: What's surprising is that the NFC has given us this

1278
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: level of dominance in a season where the Cowboys and

1279
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers both suck, right Like that's I

1280
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: think that's sort of the unpredictable variable here. So what's interesting,

1281
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: And also go back to you mentioned the ability for

1282
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobson, you know, the ability to run the football.

1283
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: All of these teams that we're talking about can run

1284
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the football, like that's just it. It's funny, how so simple.

1285
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe defense necessarily wins championship game and championships anymore.

1286
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 1: I think it's part of it. But you know, for me,

1287
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: what's funny is you look at these teams that are

1288
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 1: dominant in the NFC. They can all whoop your tail

1289
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, and they can

1290
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: all run the ball in a nasty game if they

1291
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: have to.

1292
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they live off of play action, right like

1293
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 2: you know, look, look what the Lions do with play action,

1294
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 2: Green Bay with play action. You know, Minnesota, same thing.

1295
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 2: The Eagles are a different animal. The Eagles also fit

1296
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 2: their elements right, like you say. You know, they're tough

1297
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: to be in January at Lincoln Financial Field, and their

1298
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 2: style is exactly that right where they just Hurts can

1299
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 2: hurt you with his legs and he just makes such

1300
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 2: a difference like you saw with him going out against Washington.

1301
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 2: Barkley had racked up over one hundred yards in the

1302
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 2: first quarter and then Hurts goes out and it's just impossible.

1303
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 2: You're not gonna have the same level of run of

1304
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 2: dominance in the run game because you're taking Hurts out

1305
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 2: of the equation, like he means so much the Barkley and.

1306
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 3: The run game.

1307
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 2: And you know, come January, you're outside and you got

1308
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 2: to deal with those two and then oh, by the way,

1309
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 2: when you sell out like the way the Steelers did

1310
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 2: and you go man on the receivers, that's where a J.

1311
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 2: Brown Devonte Smithy up. So they're a tough matchup outside.

1312
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when with all of this, and it becomes

1313
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: for me, if we know the ceiling for every one

1314
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: of these teams is a Super Bowl, then the question

1315
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: is like, what's the floor, what's the bad game protection?

1316
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 4: Right?

1317
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: And because some of these any given Saturday Sunday in

1318
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right Saturday games, we know they can be

1319
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: a bad game. So then the question becomes, which team

1320
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: do you know can survive a bad day from their quarterback?

1321
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Right now, We've seen the Lions survive horrible days from

1322
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: Jered Goff this year with a five interception, five number game.

1323
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: They survive that, but that defense is so decimated with

1324
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: injuries now, I don't know if they could survive that.

1325
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 4: Right.

1326
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,439
Speaker 1: Like, if you have to take the ball totally out

1327
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: of one of these quarterbacks hands and say win without

1328
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: your quarterback being able to do anything, I still think

1329
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: that that all leans Philly. I mean it leans Philly

1330
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 1: over Like if I know that my quarterback is just

1331
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: going to be a liability in the game. I might

1332
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: go Philly and then Green Bay number two, then Minnesota,

1333
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: then Detroit because of the defensive injuries.

1334
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:05,919
Speaker 3: At this point. Yeah, yeah, no, I think you're right.

1335
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 2: I think they're the most dangerous because defensively, they're so

1336
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 2: good in the secondary.

1337
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 3: See.

1338
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 2: Now, it was interesting because Terry McLaren was asked after

1339
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 2: the game last week because Washington beats the Eagles. Now

1340
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 2: Washington beats the Eagles, and figure, it really takes an

1341
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: act of God, right, Like Hurts leaves the game, it's

1342
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett that comes in the game. So you know,

1343
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 2: you still got to take it with a grain of

1344
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 2: salt that they lost the game. That said, McLaren said

1345
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 2: he was surprised how teams showed so much respect to

1346
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 2: queen Yon Mitchell, who's their rookie corner out of Toledo.

1347
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 2: Teams just stay away from them. Now they went after

1348
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 2: a little bit and they had some success. I think

1349
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,719
Speaker 2: only because I think he had a lot of depth,

1350
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 2: and you know, his cushion was pretty against Mclaw was

1351
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 2: pretty steep. But I mean he's a terrific young player.

1352
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,440
Speaker 2: So they got to They have a really good secondary

1353
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 2: with Mitchell and Cooper Dejeen, the other rookie who plays

1354
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 2: slock corner in the middle of.

1355
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 3: The field for him. And then you know, Zach Bonn

1356
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 3: has been a revelation.

1357
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 2: He I mean, this is a guy that originally they

1358
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: thought they were going to bring in to play off

1359
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 2: the edge and Vic Fangio of the defensive coordinator for

1360
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 2: Philadelphia's and no, no, no, we're gonna play him at linebacker.

1361
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 2: And he's just had an amazing year. And the Jalen

1362
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 2: Carter in the middle is a game wrecker, like he

1363
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 2: just wrecks your offense. The only thing I worry about

1364
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 2: with them is they're really thin up front. They're thin

1365
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 2: on the edges and Jalen Carter's been playing a ton

1366
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,560
Speaker 2: of snaps, So you know, wearing down would be my

1367
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 2: only kind of concern of their front.

1368
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I can see that obviously, But the game

1369
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: wrecker portion of it is just I'll take the ability

1370
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 1: to absolutely destroy the interior portion of a line early

1371
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: and if they wear down, then they wear down. You know,

1372
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: you're right, I see that. I wonder what impact And

1373
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: this is where you and I talk all the time

1374
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 1: at this point. It's part of what I love about

1375
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: how matchups matter. Like, if you were taking on Josh Jacobs,

1376
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: for example, somebody that's just going to absolutely like try

1377
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: and hammer straight up to the middle of the line

1378
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: and get through that thing and just wear you down

1379
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: over the course of the game. That's part of how

1380
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: Josh is always on the football, right. So if you're

1381
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: taking on Josh Jacobs, and I worry about that interior

1382
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 1: defensive line depth because you're just gonna be going at

1383
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: him the whole time. I don't know that the Lions

1384
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: without David Montgomery, the Lions an't going to be running

1385
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: the ball that way.

1386
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 3: So it is.

1387
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: It is interesting, and this is where too the coaches

1388
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: are going to earn so much street cred in the

1389
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: process of how they attack these matchups like these are

1390
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: these are what three of the best, four of the

1391
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: best coach teams in the NFL at this point, Like,

1392
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: and it's funny because we've set here for just how

1393
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: long and questions Sirianni, And that's fine. Look, you know

1394
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: that you know that situation better than most everybody sits

1395
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: here and yells about Sirianni. And I'm just looking at

1396
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: it and saying, okay, even the question to me now

1397
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: is going to be Is Sirianni going to be a

1398
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: difference maker in the game plan that they come in

1399
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: with versus Lafleur, who I think is just absolutely proven,

1400
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,719
Speaker 1: you know absolutely. I mean I cannot say enough about

1401
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: where Lafleur is right now and where that offense is.

1402
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: And then you've got obviously the Golden Child and Ben

1403
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Jonson the offensive coordinator for the Lions. Everybody's in the level,

1404
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,719
Speaker 1: both of their coordinators obviously, and I already gave flowers

1405
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: to Kevin O'Connell, right, So the question is, then, if

1406
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: all things being equal, which which coach do you trust

1407
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 1: the most?

1408
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 3: You know, well, that's a great point, it really is, because.

1409
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: That's that's the advantage we always talk about in the

1410
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: AFS Like look, look AFC Championship game, if we're talking

1411
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 1: about the Ravens or the Bills taking on the Chiefs

1412
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: will remind everybody, as we say on the show, all

1413
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: the damn time, you aren't just beating Mahomes. You gotta

1414
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: beat Mahomes, You gotta beat Andy Reid, and you gotta

1415
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,600
Speaker 1: beat SPACs, right like, so you have to beat the

1416
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: father Son and Holy Ghost of Trinity of effectiveness right now, right,

1417
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: So you gotta you gotta, you gotta outplay you gotta

1418
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: outplay Mahomes, you gotta out coach Andy Reid, and you

1419
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: got out coach SPACs. Which of those coaching staffs that

1420
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: I just mentioned. You know, like, certainly we've seen enough

1421
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: stupidity that Bill's fans have yelled about from their head

1422
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: coach in situation and time management even this year, that

1423
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: that you sit there and say, Man, I'm I got

1424
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm a McDermott fan too, but I'm just there's been

1425
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: a couple of like one little mistake, one little mistake

1426
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: makes everybody blow up. And then I mean Todd unkin

1427
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinated for the Ravens. There are times that

1428
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: I just look at it and think, man, he's totally

1429
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: lost control of what he's game planning for. Like it

1430
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: just it feels like that game plan gets away from

1431
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: their strength. Sometimes you can't do that against the best

1432
01:12:58,360 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 1: of the best. I don't know, I don't know.

1433
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 2: Well, it's a great that's a great question. It's a

1434
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 2: great question because you know laflor Ben Johnson. Now, the

1435
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 2: thing with the Eagles and O'Connell Flores is nasty man,

1436
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 2: they might be the two best ye tandem.

1437
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:18,560
Speaker 4: You know.

1438
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,759
Speaker 2: You know, Kellamore's done a nice job with the Eagles offense,

1439
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 2: and Fangio is terrific. Right, So he's that grizzle veteran.

1440
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 2: He's you know in the Spags moulled. Different scheme obviously,

1441
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 2: but you know, the same kind of grizzled, you know,

1442
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 2: defensive veteran. It's a great point. We're gonna take quick

1443
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 2: t o. We'll come right back.

1444
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 3: Man.

1445
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,560
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of stuff next hour. We go

1446
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 2: through the college playoffs. We'll do that. We've got tons

1447
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 2: of things to do. Fellas hanging out right here. Fox

1448
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Oh Fellas, Jason Fitz, Anthony Gargana. You know,

1449
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 2: it's funny you bring up you brought up the college

1450
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 2: basketball thing earlier, because you know, right after the season,

1451
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 2: you know, after college you'll go right into college basketball,

1452
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 2: and you know, I'll do the same thing and NBA

1453
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 2: two and the whole thing. We'll get, you know, back

1454
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 2: into into into ball. But you know, it's the same

1455
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 2: thing in college basketball. I know Jim Laernega, you know,

1456
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 2: he steps down and he blames the whole system, and

1457
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 2: you know, guys are leaving because guys are getting better

1458
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 2: deals and the whole thing. And I know that this

1459
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 2: is a transition period, but I still can't help but

1460
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: think it's going to be better for the sport.

1461
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 3: Look. I get the portals of pain and the ads

1462
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 3: for the coaches and the whole thing.

1463
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 2: However, once this whole thing plays shakes out, guys will

1464
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 2: stay in school longer. You can build a team you'll

1465
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 2: be I mean, look what's going on with college football

1466
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 2: and the quarterbacks like Kyle McCord is trying to get

1467
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 2: another year eligibility, come back and play, earn and even

1468
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 2: get more season for the NFL.

1469
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. There is a we're seeing

1470
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: it right now. We're college football players, as we mentioned earlier,

1471
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: are fighting to stay in the game even longer. There

1472
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: are so many kids playing at the highest possible level

1473
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 1: in college athletics that are not going to play in

1474
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: their respect to professional leagues. Right Look back, go back

1475
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: to the COVID year in college basketball, Casius Winston from

1476
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 1: Michigan State was one of the most dominant players in

1477
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: all of college basketball. That Michigan State team could have,

1478
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: should have would have won a national championship it was

1479
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: all ended because of COVID. Obviously, Casius Winston played like

1480
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: three seconds in the NBA, right, and then went over

1481
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: to Europe. There are plenty of people that go over

1482
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: to Europe, play play over there, make good money, have

1483
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 1: a great life. That it's a very viable way. It's

1484
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,640
Speaker 1: a really respected way. Like I have nothing nothing but

1485
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: love for the guys to go and play in Europe.

1486
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: But if you can stick around play an extra year

1487
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: college ball, would you, right, Like, if you can transfer

1488
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: and go play somewhere where there's an opportunity. I mean, look,

1489
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: look this year in the college football playoff, Dylan Gabriel

1490
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: is the quarterback and the number one ranked team of

1491
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: the country. I don't know anybody that tells me that

1492
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,839
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel has a shot of being a real Sunday

1493
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback, right, But you know what, He's made a

1494
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: ton of money playing college football, right fully, so right

1495
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: and when his career is over in college football. It

1496
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: was extended because of the transfer portal. It was extended

1497
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: because nil, like all of these things give the guys

1498
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,839
Speaker 1: a chance and girls a chance that are playing sports

1499
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: that are not going to be playing at the highest

1500
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: possible level, and isn't that what we should want? Like,

1501
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. For me, it's one of those things

1502
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: that you see so often and I really saw when

1503
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 1: I was working at ESPN. You go over to the

1504
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 1: gym across the street from ESPN, then you they have

1505
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: a like a rec center, and the number of people

1506
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: that were playing basketball, that played high level Division one basketball,

1507
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: that were you know, production assistants on shows and like

1508
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 1: behind the scenes on shows and not on air. People like, yeah,

1509
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: you'd have former NBA players dunking on each other, but

1510
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,919
Speaker 1: you have guys and girls that played D one basketball.

1511
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 1: They just don't have an outlet anymore. Like why are

1512
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 1: we trying to end the outlet early? For anybody that

1513
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: wants to play the game that they've played their whole life.

1514
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 3: Let him play.

1515
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 2: And the other thing, too, is to your point, you know,

1516
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,919
Speaker 2: it's a big business, right, So those contracts, those TV contracts,

1517
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 2: you generate a lot of revenue, so let them earn.

1518
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I mean, I'm dude, I'm so

1519
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 2: with you. I told her all the time about my

1520
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 2: two right, Like, you know, my Anthony is a pretty

1521
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 2: big boy, and you know he's a freshman in high

1522
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: school and he'll start his training in January. It was

1523
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 2: one of the Santa's gifts, right, Like, he's going to

1524
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,679
Speaker 2: go to a trainer, you know, three days a week

1525
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 2: who just trains the ends in linebackers, right like literally

1526
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 2: ends in linebackers. He'll go three days a week. I'll

1527
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,759
Speaker 2: you know, he and I left, well watch like film

1528
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 2: right tape while he does school work, and that'll take

1529
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 2: him up until the season because it's a big season

1530
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 2: for him and the sophomore year and get him ready.

1531
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 3: Right, My little one is eleven, and you know, listen,

1532
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:10,799
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's gonna.

1533
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 2: Project at, but he plays baseball and football and basketball.

1534
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: But I think he came he's a quarterback and he

1535
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 2: goes to we go to all the quarterback work. I

1536
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 2: throw with him every day.

1537
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 3: We throw. He's got a high school ball.

1538
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 2: He's got big hands, so I make him throw the

1539
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 2: high school ball and we play every day and he throws,

1540
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 2: and you know, I don't see what happens, but if

1541
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 2: it works out where he can actually play college football

1542
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 2: and get paid, you imagine and imagine starting life with

1543
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 2: a little net egg and not in debt because of

1544
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 2: going to college I mean, what parent doesn't want that?

1545
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: And you get to play the sport you love for

1546
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 1: as long as you possibly can, and once you stop

1547
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: playing at the college level, it's hard to find that

1548
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: competition anywhere else.

1549
01:18:58,479 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

1550
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take a look at the big

1561
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 2: let's take a look at what's going to happen in

1562
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 2: the playoffs at college football landscape. So this gounda be

1563
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 2: fun man to New Year's Eve it gets back. I mean,

1564
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 2: you know you can't get roll Penn State, Boisy. I

1565
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 2: gotta ask you, is there any way, is there any

1566
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 2: way a boys he has a chance in this game?

1567
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,719
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think the path is pretty simple.

1568
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: We all know it. You know, Ashton Genty is gonna

1569
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: be huge, and he will be huge. He's gonna have

1570
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: a big game. I don't think you slow down. I

1571
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: don't think you stop Ashton Genty. Let's say it that way.

1572
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: So if your Boise State, your hope is that you

1573
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: know you can maximize the limitations at Penn State does

1574
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,839
Speaker 1: have offensively, you can get a couple of early mistakes

1575
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: somehow someway from Drew Aller, turnover, turnover, and then hold

1576
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: the ball for a long time. Do I think that

1577
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: they win this? No, I don't, And frankly, I don't

1578
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 1: think this game is going to be close. So this

1579
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: is this is where I say this gently because part

1580
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: of the magic of the opening weekend of college football

1581
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: playoffs was that we got a game at Happy Valley

1582
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: and that we got a game at Notre Dame. I

1583
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: don't think the general like college football barely fan right,

1584
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: the casual like, oh I watch sometimes. I don't think

1585
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: he's gonna be absolutely losing their minds over home playoff

1586
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: game at Boise State. They're gonna watch like a diehards

1587
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: like us. They're gonna watch it, but it wouldn't have

1588
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: had the same impact. However, if our opening weekend would

1589
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: have had a better seeded playoff, we would have had

1590
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: better games, and this weekend we would also have better games.

1591
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: I just I believe that. I think Penn State roles

1592
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: in this one. Boise State can keep it close for

1593
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: a minute. Boise State's still gonna get their one hundred

1594
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: and sixty one hundred and eighty yards from Ashton genty.

1595
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 1: That's just what he does. But I don't know how

1596
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: Boise State stops. Even though at times Penn State can

1597
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: be a little one dimensional in their passing game, I

1598
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: don't think that they can be slowed down by Boise State.

1599
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 2: Penn State roles in this one. Three touchdowns. I'm still

1600
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 2: going the same thing. The line's eleven. I was going

1601
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 2: the same thing, like I look at it and I

1602
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 2: go and Aler did not play well last week. It

1603
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 2: got lost in that the game was such a mismatch.

1604
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean, poor Jennings right from smu warnted nothing to

1605
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:56,799
Speaker 2: deal with the elements.

1606
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean he was running off the field

1607
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,640
Speaker 3: like he just he just was completely lost. He had

1608
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 3: a horrific start.

1609
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll be honest with you some it was

1610
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 2: Penn State roles in the game, but Franklin still makes

1611
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 2: ridiculous decisions like you're up, the reason why you're leading

1612
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 2: is you have two pick sixes, so you go for

1613
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 2: a fourth and one deep inside your own territory, up

1614
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 2: two scores.

1615
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 3: Which sense did that make?

1616
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? I honestly felt like in that moment, Franklin was

1617
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: a little bit like, I get the cocky we could

1618
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 1: beat anybody. We're not worried about them. We're gonna go

1619
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: out there and be who we're like. I get football

1620
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: coach speak on that. I thought it was. It was

1621
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: I understand that what you're trying to do is send

1622
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: a message, and you believe that you're so much bigger

1623
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 1: and stronger you can get it done. I just thought

1624
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: it was foolish, you know, And that's to be to

1625
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: be honest, even above and beyond the fact that it

1626
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 1: disrespects your opponent, and you know, I think it over

1627
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: it showed an over inflated value of self to where

1628
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 1: he viewed Penn State in that matchup. To me, look

1629
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: and that's coming from somebody that again, I picked Penn

1630
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: State to win that game by twenty so they were

1631
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: gonna roll. I just thought it was. It was foolis

1632
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: yet and at some point, all things being equal, again,

1633
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: we'll go back to the NFL conversation we had for

1634
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: a second here like that didn't hurt him against SMU.

1635
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that sort of decisi would hurt him

1636
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 1: against boise State there enough of a face. Will it

1637
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: hurt him against Dan Lanning in Oregon at some point

1638
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 1: or against sark and Texas at some point?

1639
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 4: Yep?

1640
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 1: You know those are the things that I think that's

1641
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: where it starts to get real.

1642
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 2: So I'm with you, and I don't think Boisey can

1643
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 2: stress Penn State either. The New Year's Day games on Wednesday.

1644
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 2: Obviously Texas Arizona State the other mismatch of the grouping.

1645
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 3: So this line Texas is thirteen.

1646
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 2: Now you know it's about Scatterborough and you know, look,

1647
01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,679
Speaker 2: can catch the ball out of the backfield, You're gonna

1648
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 2: have to fit got away because you're not gonna be

1649
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 2: able to run it against Texas front. So you got

1650
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 2: to figure out a way to get him the football

1651
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 2: in space. Now you catch it out of the backfield.

1652
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 2: That would be my biggest game plan, which is to

1653
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 2: get him the ball in the short pass game.

1654
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the funny thing is that I will

1655
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: give Arizona State credit. They had more balance than I

1656
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: thought they would in the big Teal championship game. They

1657
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: had played with more balance throughout this run than I

1658
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 1: think that I give them credit for it. Went back

1659
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 1: and watched a couple of games too. I just don't

1660
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: think they can get that against this Texas defense, right, Like,

1661
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: the thing of it is, they're going to be made

1662
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: one dimensional, and once they're made one dimensional, they're not

1663
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: going to be able to beat Texas. It would take

1664
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: a catastrophic game from Quinn Eewers for this to even

1665
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 1: be close. And that's Quinn's the shell of himself right now.

1666
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: I genuinely believe that when we finished the season, we're

1667
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: gonna find out that Quinn's been battling a lot of

1668
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 1: things we don't even know about. Injury wise. The shoulder

1669
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: never seemed right. Now he's got the ankle on top

1670
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,679
Speaker 1: of it. We're seeing a fraction of who Quinn Ewers

1671
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: can be in this process. I'm a little surprised that

1672
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 1: we didn't see Arch in the last playoff game just

1673
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: take over. But that being said, yeah, I think the

1674
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 1: problem here for Arizona State is that you can't handle

1675
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: the grown men that are on the defensive side of

1676
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,600
Speaker 1: the ball. For Texas, I'll give Arizona State credit to

1677
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,680
Speaker 1: they've got a much bigger defensive line. Then I think

1678
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: a lot of people realize size wise, they've they've got size.

1679
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,600
Speaker 1: But man, I just to me, Texas is going to

1680
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:28,560
Speaker 1: run the ball and they're not going to be run on.

1681
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 1: And when when Texas runs the ball, they didn't run

1682
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,160
Speaker 1: the ball in the SEC championship game, they looked foolish.

1683
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: When they can run the football, they can absolutely decimate you.

1684
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 1: And that's what they're gonna do.

1685
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because then all of a sudden twenty one. Yeah,

1686
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,919
Speaker 2: because then yours he works so much better. All quarterbacks

1687
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 2: to off of play action, but especially him. I think

1688
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,800
Speaker 2: you're when they're running the ball and it's second to three,

1689
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 2: and you know, it makes quarterback playing easy.

1690
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

1691
01:25:56,479 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 2: I don't see either being close. But if I sadia,

1692
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 2: which game is closer, Penn State, Boise or Texas Arizona State,

1693
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 2: we got.

1694
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: I think because of Ashton Genty's simple, magnificent play, I

1695
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: could see Boise State turning this into seven to eight

1696
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: minute drives, just just slowing this game down so much

1697
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 1: that maybe they can keep it closer. Like maybe maybe

1698
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: we hit the midway through the third quarter and it's

1699
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: still a ten point game before it blows out. Yeah,

1700
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I think I'll give the Texas Poise State.

1701
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 1: But that's cautious on this, Like I'll give Texas Boise

1702
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 1: State the better chance to state close.

1703
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 3: What do you think Penn State bois Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1704
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 3: that's that's.

1705
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 1: What I'm Penn State boys they sorry, yeah, I give

1706
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: that one a better chance of stay close. What do

1707
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 1: you think?

1708
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 3: I agree?

1709
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,680
Speaker 2: I think it's Penn State Boise and strictly because the

1710
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 2: genty because and I like Scataboro, But I just think

1711
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 2: the Texas front negates that. Listen, Penn State should be

1712
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:02,639
Speaker 2: able to u k not get completely riddled by gente.

1713
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,600
Speaker 1: But all right, So look, we're having some technical difficulties

1714
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: peaked behind the curtain. I'm here. I don't know if

1715
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:12,600
Speaker 1: we have cousin, But continuing that conversation, I think we

1716
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: have to understand because over the course of the first

1717
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: weekend of the college football Playoff, a lot of what

1718
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: we talked about was frankly, you know, oh my god,

1719
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:22,879
Speaker 1: look at this, they got the wrong teams in the playoffs.

1720
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: I think what we're gonna learn over the course of

1721
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: New Year's even New Year's Day, is that, frankly, there

1722
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 1: just aren't that many playoff caliber football teams, right, Like,

1723
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna see in this process is that

1724
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: the expansion from four to twelve in many ways was

1725
01:27:39,640 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: frankly about getting more teams in because we want more

1726
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: playoff games. There was never a guarantee that that meant

1727
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 1: we were going to get more close playoff games. Because

1728
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:51,759
Speaker 1: if you look at the way that this is seeded

1729
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:53,799
Speaker 1: out and you look at the way the bracket has fallen.

1730
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: All right, we just told you. Texas Arizona State we

1731
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: both believe is going to be a blowout. Penn State

1732
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: Boise I believe it's going to be a blowout. We

1733
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 1: both believe it's going to be a blowout. Georgia certainly

1734
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: has the team to be able to compete, but they've

1735
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,639
Speaker 1: got a backup quarterback at this point against a Notre

1736
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: Dame team that's playing the hottest defensively that we've seen

1737
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 1: in a long time. A Notre Dame team that I

1738
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: think can absolutely handle Georgia. Hopefully we get a close

1739
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 1: game out of that. I believe it'll be a closer

1740
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: game out of that. But I look, there's a real

1741
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: shot that we get into this weekend. This week, I

1742
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: should say, and three of the four games could turn

1743
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:36,759
Speaker 1: out to be pretty easily handled. Ohio, Ohio State, Oregon

1744
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: I think might end up being the only really good

1745
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 1: game that we're gonna get New Year's even New Year's Day.

1746
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: And that just speaks to the fact that for all

1747
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 1: the yelling about well Alabama should have gotten in or

1748
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 1: Olemas should have gotten in, I think what we're really

1749
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 1: going to realize, guys, is that there just weren't twelve

1750
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:56,720
Speaker 1: teams on the same level. Anthony, Like, this is for me, Yeah,

1751
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean the system is broken. It just

1752
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,799
Speaker 1: means that they're there weren't twelve teams that were capable

1753
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 1: of winning a national championship, which more years than not

1754
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: I think is going to be the case.

1755
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 2: You know, agreed, except like there are teams that I

1756
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 2: would like to see in the mix that aren't in

1757
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 2: a playoff, right, sure, sure, you know, I mean, you

1758
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 2: know it's fair to say, who knows what Alabama does.

1759
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that, but we're we also would

1760
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: presume in the conversation of Alabama belonged in. We're presuming

1761
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: that we get the version of Alabama that has played

1762
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 1: lights out, not the version of Alabama that got beat

1763
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 1: by an Oklahoma team that's trash right, Like, so, I

1764
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 1: think my only point is that look, Oregon, Ohio State,

1765
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Georgia. Maybe we'll see with the backup quarterback Texas.

1766
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: Those are the only teams Penn State that have a

1767
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 1: real shot at a national championship, Like Tennessee got their

1768
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:59,640
Speaker 1: asses kicked, And I mean certainly, there's no presumption in

1769
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:01,920
Speaker 1: my mind, and there's there's no proof that that wouldn't

1770
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,520
Speaker 1: have happened to Ole Miss or South Carolina or Alabama

1771
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: as well. Like it's just the first round gave us

1772
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 1: more of what the second round. Texas is gonna blow

1773
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 1: out Arizona State, Penn State's gonna blow out Boise State.

1774
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:15,799
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure that Notre Dame doesn't

1775
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: easily handle Georgia. I know that's a hot take to

1776
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 1: a lot of people, but I feel like we got

1777
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 1: a chance that we're gonna be sitting here saying, in

1778
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: the first two rounds of the college football playoff, we

1779
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: got one really close, compelling, oh my god, game, and

1780
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 1: that's Oregon Ohio State.

1781
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think Listen, I'm with you. I like

1782
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 2: Notre Dame in the game, but I mean, I still

1783
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 2: think that could be a good game. And by the way,

1784
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 2: you know, George is the favorite. So I do think,

1785
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 2: you know, even if the game turns out that Notre

1786
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 2: Dame wins, and even if they win handily, it does,

1787
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 2: it's not an indictment on those I think you got

1788
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 2: half to I think you got a half to half.

1789
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 3: The games are gonna be good, those two.

1790
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 2: And I think it's a look all Mission and Bama,

1791
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 2: I do believe would give you know, better game.

1792
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 3: I just think they just need to fix the seating.

1793
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 2: And I'm all right if the first round is, you know,

1794
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:12,680
Speaker 2: a little little lopsided.

1795
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 3: It's like that in the NFL in the playoffs sometimes too.

1796
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 3: In the NFL, it's like.

1797
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:18,519
Speaker 1: That in the NCAA tournament in the first round. Like

1798
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of these games are blowouts in the NCAA tournament,

1799
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,600
Speaker 1: like and that's where you're right. The seating would have

1800
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: fixed things like I think we would have had a

1801
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 1: better game if we had you know, Arizona State taken

1802
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,120
Speaker 1: on Poise State in the first round, for example. We

1803
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: would have had a better game, it just wouldn't have

1804
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: had the same like sexiness of I mean, the fact

1805
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 1: that the first ever college football playoff game was at

1806
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. It's just that's just sexy, right, So I look,

1807
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 1: I have no problem with the college football Playoff the

1808
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 1: way any of it went down. I just I'm not

1809
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 1: overly concerned about the fact that I think we're gonna

1810
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 1: get a bunch of blowouts and Georgia, Man, Georgia is

1811
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 1: hard for now. We've got, as we said last week,

1812
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of Georgia fans have killed

1813
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 1: me for this because they're all convinced the backup quarterbacks

1814
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 1: even better. But this is a that led the country

1815
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 1: and drops. So now you're talking about a wide receiver

1816
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,840
Speaker 1: corps that plays, that catches the ball like it's a

1817
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 1: game of hot potato taking on a Notre Dame defense

1818
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 1: that just the secondary on that defense is suffocating, right,

1819
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,880
Speaker 1: That Notre Dame defense is it needs to get a

1820
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:19,680
Speaker 1: lot more love. Now, I do believe George's defense is

1821
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:21,679
Speaker 1: gonna shut down a lot more of what Riley Leonard

1822
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: tries to do as a runner. I'll give you that.

1823
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 1: I think that could be an ugly low scoring game

1824
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 1: in some ways, but I just Notre Dame wins by

1825
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,840
Speaker 1: ten to me, and ten's close, but it's not gonna

1826
01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: be this. I don't think we're looking at two minutes

1827
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: to go, Oh my god, who's gonna win this game?

1828
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong, But to me, the one game

1829
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna be destination. Cancel all your plans, cancel your meetings,

1830
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 1: shut off your phone is gonna be New Year's Day,

1831
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:47,839
Speaker 1: five pm, Ohio State organ.

1832
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rose Bull.

1833
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, and I still can't believe

1834
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 2: if you're Oregon and you got to play this game,

1835
01:32:58,240 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 2: you're like, are you kidding me?

1836
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,920
Speaker 3: Living? But like I get it, Like you know, it

1837
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 3: just fits right. It's rose Ball.

1838
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 2: It's you know, the elements of the old Pac twelve

1839
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 2: against Big ten and the whole thing. It's a great game.

1840
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 2: It's a great matchup. But man, it's so undeserved by Oregon, right,

1841
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 2: Like it's so you're the number one seed and you

1842
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 2: got to take all the Ohio State like that a

1843
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 2: load should have gave the committee. Uh, they should have

1844
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 2: blown up the whole idea.

1845
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 3: Of it all.

1846
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 1: Well, and I will say too to me, I don't

1847
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 1: give a damn about where these bowl games are, the

1848
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 1: Orange Bowl, the Rose Well, I don't care about any

1849
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:40,800
Speaker 1: of that. I really wish this round was also home

1850
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: playoff games.

1851
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 3: I just I do too.

1852
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:46,679
Speaker 1: And like if this game was Ohio State at Oregon,

1853
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 1: now we're talking about a home field advantage, right that

1854
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 1: that to me is such a different like Notre Dame

1855
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:55,680
Speaker 1: going to Georgia. Now we're talking about something different, you know.

1856
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 1: And it's gonna feel so stale on New Year's even

1857
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,880
Speaker 1: New Year compared to what we had the first weekend,

1858
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 1: because we're not seeing the best of what college football is.

1859
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: Like there's a reason that they sent big noon in

1860
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 1: game day two sites instead of doing them in the studios. Right,

1861
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 1: they do that because the best thing about college football

1862
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 1: is the atmosphere, and we saw it on the first weekend,

1863
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,760
Speaker 1: like just seeing the marching bands and seeing the best

1864
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: d in band in all the land and tears in

1865
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:23,720
Speaker 1: their eyes as they're marching on the field, and the

1866
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 1: college football Playoff gave me goosebumps, it gave me feels.

1867
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: It's a moment I will as a sportsman. I will

1868
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,839
Speaker 1: never forget watching the first weekend of the college football

1869
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 1: Playoff and seeing those home atmospheres. I am angry to

1870
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 1: my core this weekend or this week coming up that

1871
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: these games are stuck in a bowl game that's just

1872
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,559
Speaker 1: gonna feel stale and obnoxious compared.

1873
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great point, brother, and I.

1874
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: Can say that now. I could. I'll be honest with

1875
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: you all. I always pull back the curtain. You're not

1876
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,280
Speaker 1: allowed to trash the ball games at ESPN. That is

1877
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 1: one thing. You cannot make fun of the bowl game names.

1878
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 1: You can't make fun of the bowl games. It's a

1879
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 1: big partnership. I'm making fun of them now. Like I

1880
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 1: do not care about the vr be O Fiesta, ble,

1881
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: I just care about Penn State Boise State. Come on.

1882
01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 3: This this match?

1883
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 2: I you know again, I like Ohio State, I guess,

1884
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:16,680
Speaker 2: but this map. I mean the first game was ridiculous.

1885
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if you go back and remember the first game,

1886
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 2: how how great it was two versus three? And it

1887
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 2: was the great showdown in UH In Week seven thirty two,

1888
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:34,240
Speaker 2: thirty one, Gabriel the magic.

1889
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 3: But look at the Look at the.

1890
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 2: Numbers, right, total yards Oregon four ninety six, Ohio State

1891
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 2: four sixty seven. I mean, they're they're so similar, three

1892
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 2: forty one to three twenty six, passing one fifty five

1893
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 2: to one forty one. On the ground, I mean their

1894
01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:59,240
Speaker 2: numbers are almost identical other than Ohio State turned the

1895
01:35:59,240 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 2: ball over twice.

1896
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:04,679
Speaker 1: The two fumbles well, and to that end, I cannot

1897
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:06,439
Speaker 1: get out of my head. And I'm sure Oregon has

1898
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 1: spent weeks preaching it the way Penn State just rammed

1899
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 1: the ball down their throats Big Ten Championship game, and

1900
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 1: now you got those those Ohio State backs coming in woo.

1901
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Oregon better have fixed that. They better have

1902
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 1: fixed that. Look, Oregon's been the number one team in

1903
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 1: the country all year, and I want to give them

1904
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt because they have earned that number

1905
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: one seed. But you're absolutely right, Like I think, the

1906
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:36,160
Speaker 1: toughest matchup that they're gonna play, the top, the top

1907
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:38,040
Speaker 1: matchup we're going to see in all of the college

1908
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:40,600
Speaker 1: football playoffs is that game. I don't believe they'll be

1909
01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: a better game.

1910
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:43,840
Speaker 3: I'm curious about one thing.

1911
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 2: Just bringing it back to Notre Dame and Georgia, the

1912
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,080
Speaker 2: one game I can't get out of my mind. Hey,

1913
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 2: look is FC putting up thirty five on that defense

1914
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 2: and it's one thing dominated against Indiana. And I mean,

1915
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:04,720
Speaker 2: I like the players, and you can only play who

1916
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 2: you play. I get it, but I still kind of

1917
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:12,639
Speaker 2: have that are we sleeping? Are we overrating the Notre

1918
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 2: Dame defense?

1919
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we're overrating the Notre Dame defense. I

1920
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,600
Speaker 1: do think they had a bad game against USC, Like

1921
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:22,639
Speaker 1: this is one of those two things they are true

1922
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: at once. But you're right, I mean, who else did

1923
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,640
Speaker 1: they play for a lot of the season. Like, I

1924
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: think that's a fair argument to make. You know, when

1925
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: your biggest to the biggest offense, the best offenses you

1926
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 1: took on. We're a Navy team that turned out to

1927
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 1: not be all that great, or an Army team that

1928
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:40,639
Speaker 1: turned out to compared to the elites maybe Louisville when

1929
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 1: they face them. We're not talking about taking on a

1930
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 1: lot of juggernaut offenses, right, Like, So, I do think

1931
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:47,840
Speaker 1: it's fair to look at and say what the hell

1932
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:52,679
Speaker 1: happened in that USC game? Particularly, But man, I don't

1933
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,640
Speaker 1: know the way they were flying to the ball, just

1934
01:37:55,960 --> 01:38:00,120
Speaker 1: absolutely like Signetti was eating a bunch of crow and

1935
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of crow in that matchup. Because of the

1936
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 1: way that defense was flying around. The back end of

1937
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:06,720
Speaker 1: that defense is what I think scares me in the

1938
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 1: college football playoff in a good way. Like that, the

1939
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 1: back end of that defense just they have closing speed,

1940
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:18,559
Speaker 1: They hit hard, they get they close windows quickly. I just, man,

1941
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:20,640
Speaker 1: I think the back end of that defense is not

1942
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna let George is gonna have to run the football

1943
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 1: incredibly well to have any chance in that game. Incredibly well.

1944
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, I listen, I feel you. I just just wonder,

1945
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 2: just get this little nagg and field. Because I listen,

1946
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:37,680
Speaker 2: I like, I picked Notre Dame weeks ago, and so

1947
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:42,000
Speaker 2: I love them. But I'm starting to get I start

1948
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 2: to get a little. As much as I feel like you,

1949
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 2: I go, Notre Dame's gonna beat Georgia, and there's a

1950
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 2: part of me it goes I'm curious to see what

1951
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:53,759
Speaker 2: George's offense looks like because I agree with the backup

1952
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 2: when it comes to back and getting the ball down

1953
01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 2: the field. The only thing is, again, they missed outside

1954
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:05,639
Speaker 2: receivers all season long, like Mconkee Bowers. Those threats, those

1955
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 2: downfield threats. That's what's missing, that that explosiveness off the

1956
01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 2: Georgia offense.

1957
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And look, the backup quarterback there for

1958
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 1: Georgia is much highly recruited. Everybody loves him. I get it.

1959
01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 1: He's more dynamic as a runner, I get it, all

1960
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 1: of these different threats, I get it. This is what

1961
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: Georgia fans have been yelling at me for weeks. The

1962
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 1: thing of it is, he's not going to be able

1963
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 1: to throw the ball with any real You can't depend

1964
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: on it. I can't depend on guys to catch the ball,

1965
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 1: and I can't depend on, you know, backup quarterback to

1966
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 1: come in and throw the ball against that defense. So

1967
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 1: whatever he does with his legs is really going to

1968
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 1: be their only shot. It's And by the way, if

1969
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 1: your answer is a mobile quarterback against Notre Dame, I

1970
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 1: will remind you that they spend every single day practicing

1971
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,000
Speaker 1: against one of the best mobile quarterbacks in the country,

1972
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: and Riley Leonard, you're not showing them something they haven't

1973
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 1: already seen and don't not a game plan for I

1974
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: just this just felt like the wrong matchup for Georgia.

1975
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great point. All right, let's take quick too.

Speaker 2: then I want to kind of get into a little

1985
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 2: bit of the uh what we're gonna see today we

1996
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:18,799
Speaker 3: Do you have that. I'm telling you, man, the drones

1997
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 3: are still flying in Jersey. So the drones said.

1998
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 1: Story, Yeah, no, did the drones freak out? That's this

1999
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: This is to a fault. Again. As I've said a

2000
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 1: million times, I'm not the buddy you want in a

2001
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 1: zombie apocalypse. I'll just go to the drug store. I'll

2002
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,720
Speaker 1: break in and I'll I'll go out and you know,

2003
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 1: blaze of glory. It's just really high. So like, I'm

2004
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: not the person that's going to fight my way through

2005
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: any sort of like apocalyptic sort of moment. But everybody

2006
01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 1: freaks out about the drones. And I'm also not a

2007
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 1: government conspiracy theorist or any of those things. I look

2008
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: at it, I'm like, well, shoot, if it's UFOs, I'm

2009
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: not gonna be equipped to take them on anyway, So

2010
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna worry about it. If it's a foreign government,

2011
01:41:58,120 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: I would think that our government's probably going to figure

2012
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:02,800
Speaker 1: it out, you know, at least better than I am.

2013
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: And if it's our government, I'm not going to be

2014
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 1: able to stop them. So I'm just like all right, cool, Like,

2015
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 1: you know, guess what if you're if you're taking pictures

2016
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 1: of my life it's not that exciting. Just send me

2017
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 1: any good ones of the dogs. I don't know, Like

2018
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm this is where I'm the worst. Like my my

2019
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 1: friends that get so worked up about this stuff hate

2020
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:21,759
Speaker 1: me because I'm always like, yeah, okay, so there's drunks,

2021
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:24,240
Speaker 1: like not going to change my Saturday. But they're flying

2022
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: over Jersey like that. That's right in your neck of

2023
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 1: the woods. Are you are you like looking at it?

2024
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we see them all the time, and they're

2025
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 3: a little off putting and.

2026
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 2: Less for me because I kind of I'm kind of

2027
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:40,400
Speaker 2: like subscribe to your theory, be honest with you. I'm

2028
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 2: pretty much laid back kind of person, but like I

2029
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:46,799
Speaker 2: feel bad for like, you know, like my kids, especially

2030
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:49,800
Speaker 2: my little one. He's a little freaked out by it,

2031
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like what is it, daddy?

2032
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 2: And you know, and you're trying to explain to him,

2033
01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:59,080
Speaker 2: like you know, listen, we have satellites and we know

2034
01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:01,280
Speaker 2: where they come from, and you know, I'm trying to

2035
01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:03,880
Speaker 2: give them the the you know, talk them off the

2036
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:06,160
Speaker 2: ledge and not and not make it worse. So that's

2037
01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:08,320
Speaker 2: kind of really it. But yeah, I mean they've been

2038
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 2: like they've been fine. It's bizarre.

2039
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:13,599
Speaker 1: Brother, that's a huge difference when you have kids too,

2040
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 1: Like that, that's the other side of it. Like I'm

2041
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: the first to admit that part of what makes me

2042
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 1: at times like I feel like I'm just sort of

2043
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:21,680
Speaker 1: devil and angel.

2044
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 3: All in one.

2045
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:23,600
Speaker 1: Like I feel like overall, I feel like I'm a

2046
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:26,720
Speaker 1: good person. I too, but there are also parts of

2047
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: me that I just are like terrible. So I look

2048
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:30,719
Speaker 1: at it and I'm like, yeah, I don't have kids,

2049
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 1: so like the future of the world's not something I

2050
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 1: really worry about the same way, and I want to.

2051
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: It just doesn't. It can't hit I don't think it's

2052
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 1: kind of like you mentioned earlier, there's a magic to

2053
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: Christmas when you have kids, there's a magic to Christmas

2054
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 1: when you don't have kids. I still try and help

2055
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:49,760
Speaker 1: the world as best I can on that day, as

2056
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, But I also look at it as like, man,

2057
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm in my forties and I don't

2058
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: have kids, Like Christmas doesn't. I don't have any family,

2059
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,240
Speaker 1: So Christmas just doesn't hit the same way that it

2060
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 1: does for some people with kids. Same when it comes

2061
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: to like when I sit here and think about foreign

2062
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: policy and the future of the economy and all these things,

2063
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:09,920
Speaker 1: Like it's hard for it to hit me the same

2064
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:13,600
Speaker 1: way because like I don't really I'm not gonna my

2065
01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: family is not going to be impacted in any way

2066
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: that I know, So like it's just it's just harder

2067
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 1: to hit. That sounds very selfish when I say that

2068
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 1: out loud, but you know where I'm coming from.

2069
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 2: Dude, I completely understand. Believe me, I get it. Hey,

2070
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 2: just get real quick getting back to it and we'll

2071
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 2: get back to the NFL in a second. But I

2072
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 2: did want to ask you, are you watching any of

2073
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 2: the Bowl games like today's agent.

2074
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:39,400
Speaker 1: They're always on both Yeah, they're always on.

2075
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, me too. I'll tell you there's a ton

2076
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 3: of them today.

2077
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 2: Uh. You know, like I was going to actually go

2078
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:50,680
Speaker 2: up to Nebraska because they're playing the Yankee Stadium and uh,

2079
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 2: but I got all the duties and it's hard for us.

2080
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 2: It's an early game, hard for me to get up

2081
01:44:56,080 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 2: there to make it early. But uh, Nebraska, and I'm

2082
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 2: a big Rayola fan. I love Rayola, and you know,

2083
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 2: with Matt Ruhle and then in Miami, Iowa State, that's

2084
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 2: another interesting game. Roco Beck should throw for a zillion

2085
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:15,520
Speaker 2: in that game. I'm interested and I'm interested in BYU Colorado.

2086
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:19,760
Speaker 1: Don't don't uh, don't back off that pinch stripe Bowl though,

2087
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 1: is rule like you got to hook up a coach,

2088
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some like fancy pin stripe Nebraska stuff like.

2089
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: That's one of the cool things about these bowl games.

2090
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:28,760
Speaker 3: Is that now the swag, it gives you.

2091
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 1: The real opportunity to get different swag that hit different ways.

2092
01:45:32,680 --> 01:45:36,000
Speaker 1: That's why, frankly, I understand why you know, go into

2093
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:38,559
Speaker 1: the Gronk Bowl was good for UNLV, and they always

2094
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 1: seem within the last couple of years their bowl games

2095
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 1: have been out West. That's fine. I was hopeful that

2096
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:47,600
Speaker 1: UNLV would get a more and this like more incredible

2097
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:50,000
Speaker 1: sort of yeah, I could. I could justify flying to

2098
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: a bowl game that just didn't happen with this one.

2099
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, like b WHYU Colorado? And by the way,

2100
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 1: Colorado being adamant that you know, they took out insurance

2101
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: policies to cover their their best players and they're making

2102
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 1: sure that their players play in this game. And you know,

2103
01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 1: dion Is is obviously coach Prime is continuing to build

2104
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 1: a certain culture around the expectation. They're like, that'd be

2105
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 1: why you Colorado game. I'm I'm genuinely excited for it,

2106
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,640
Speaker 1: Like that's that's good football we're gonna see tonight. I

2107
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna be a mail and in bowl

2108
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: for either side.

2109
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 3: I agree.

2110
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking for to that game. And I think I

2111
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,360
Speaker 2: alwould state Miami could have a lot of fireworks.

2112
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, Miami is just gonna be the

2113
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 1: what might have been. It's just I'm always interested to

2114
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 1: see what happens to a team and how they come

2115
01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:41,719
Speaker 1: out for a bowl game when it wasn't what they thought, hoped, wanted,

2116
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 1: any of those things. You know, it's just the season

2117
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 1: that and you were right about Miami the number of times.

2118
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 1: And we were texting after the show so often guys

2119
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 1: where you know, I come in and say, I'm telling

2120
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:53,680
Speaker 1: you it doesn't matter. Miami finds a way to win

2121
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:55,720
Speaker 1: because of Cam And then you know, I feel like

2122
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 1: an hour after the show, Anthony, I'd be texting each

2123
01:46:58,280 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 1: other it's like, God, this Miami team stinks.

2124
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 3: You're actually watching the defense.

2125
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:06,639
Speaker 1: That defense was just horrid, horrid and what a waste.

2126
01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 1: Like that's one thing I do think we have to

2127
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Speaker 1: sort of change our mindset on in college football because

2128
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:16,320
Speaker 1: the transfer portal has made it such a one year

2129
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:19,840
Speaker 1: rental quarterback situation. If you don't take advantage of the

2130
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:22,519
Speaker 1: rental quarterback you have, then shame on you, right, And

2131
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 1: Miami didn't take advantage of it. They had cam Ward

2132
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:27,600
Speaker 1: this year and an opportunity that they knew was going

2133
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,080
Speaker 1: to be. This was the year with cam Ward where

2134
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:31,920
Speaker 1: they were going to be able to try and win

2135
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of games and really showcase. And you know,

2136
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 1: there are reports out there that, for example, Michigan State's

2137
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 1: prepared to offer four million dollars to Quinn Youewers to

2138
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 1: come play quarterback for him next year. Okay, what are

2139
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 1: you going to build around that to make sure that

2140
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: you take advantage of that so that you're not just

2141
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 1: playing in the Pop Tarts Bowl, as much as we

2142
01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:50,519
Speaker 1: love pop darts, not playing in the Pop Darts Bowl,

2143
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:52,600
Speaker 1: you're playing in the college football playoff. Miami didn't do

2144
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 1: enough on the defensive side of the ball for that,

2145
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:54,960
Speaker 1: and shame on them.

2146
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:58,640
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. You know, I've never eaten a

2147
01:47:58,680 --> 01:47:59,160
Speaker 3: pop dart.

2148
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:04,160
Speaker 1: This is this take is going to get me in trouble.

2149
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 1: But I think pop tarts are so overrated, so overrated.

2150
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:07,960
Speaker 3: I never eat one.

2151
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 2: I just never. We weren't a pop tart family. I

2152
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 2: know all the people they love the pop tart. I

2153
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 2: just never had the you know, toasters are better.

2154
01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm gonna say out loud what the world

2155
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:22,479
Speaker 1: should know. Toaster stroutles are better. Plus I didn't grow

2156
01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:24,600
Speaker 1: up on any of that stuff. My brother growing up

2157
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 1: was allergic to artificial coloring, so we never had like

2158
01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:30,839
Speaker 1: the first time I ever had kool aid, it had vacated,

2159
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 1: like I didn't. I never grew up around stuff like

2160
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:38,840
Speaker 1: I didn't have lucky charms, the better ju juice. Yeah,

2161
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:40,400
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you're right about that.

2162
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 4: You know.

2163
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: Still to this day, I'll take a nice you know,

2164
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: give me, give me now. It's better vodka.

2165
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:45,560
Speaker 4: It's not.

2166
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: It's not pop off now, you know. But I'm I'm

2167
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 1: not too classy to put you know, some fruit punch

2168
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:52,639
Speaker 1: in my in my grape goose.

2169
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 4: Let's go.

2170
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 1: But that that makes me sound terrible. But pop tarts

2171
01:48:57,880 --> 01:48:59,599
Speaker 1: were in that same category, so I didn't have most

2172
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 1: of those. So I was in like my twenties or thirties,

2173
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, God, if I'm gonna have lucky charms,

2174
01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 1: I might as well just have a donut. Donuts are better, right.

2175
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 3: All right?

2176
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 2: Coming up, I want to go through each of the

2177
01:49:11,479 --> 01:49:15,719
Speaker 2: games because there's three off today NFL. There's three NFL

2178
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 2: games and they're all pretty good. They all have decent storylines,

2179
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 2: so I kind of want to dive through each of

2180
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 2: the three today. I do love the NFL and set

2181
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:27,720
Speaker 2: like today looking up at all these college games and

2182
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:29,639
Speaker 2: NFL games, it's a great football day.

2183
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:33,360
Speaker 3: So I'm like, you know, just a good day. It's raining.

2184
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 3: Is it snowing up there? Is it raining?

2185
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:37,240
Speaker 1: Just raining, just gross rain.

2186
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had there's.

2187
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 2: A bit of a warm spell now, so it's going

2188
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:44,720
Speaker 2: to be raining for the next like four days. It's

2189
01:49:44,720 --> 01:49:47,600
Speaker 2: a great day to just kind of nestle in and

2190
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,799
Speaker 2: watch the ball. So we'll be doing that, Fellas, hanging

2191
01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:54,479
Speaker 2: out right here with you every Saturday. Jason Fitz, Anthony Gargana,

2192
01:49:54,760 --> 01:50:01,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Fellas, Jason, It's at the new organ

2193
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 2: from the ti Raq dot Com studios. All right, tripleheader

2194
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 2: on the NFL network. So this is the Saturday where

2195
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 2: the NFL network gets a bone. How long until that

2196
01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 2: just goes away?

2197
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 1: The games are the network itself?

2198
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 2: Well, maybe both, like because like there's no reason you'll

2199
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,759
Speaker 2: have the network just to have the network, right, because

2200
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 2: it's always good just to have a pr win, right,

2201
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, why put games on the NFL network, like

2202
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 2: back in the day made sense?

2203
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 3: Right?

2204
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:37,439
Speaker 2: It doesn't serve anybody now because like before, you were

2205
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 2: looking at it to try to grow the channel, but

2206
01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:42,839
Speaker 2: you were going to make way more money with streaming.

2207
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:48,439
Speaker 2: So why waste a Saturday, a primetime Saturday with three

2208
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 2: big You know, I got three games.

2209
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:54,120
Speaker 3: I could sell that to a streamer. Hey, paradou plus.

2210
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 1: Hey, uh, you know.

2211
01:50:57,520 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 3: What's the peacock?

2212
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 4: Right?

2213
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:04,599
Speaker 3: K two B come on down? You're right, somebody goes

2214
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 3: pay for it.

2215
01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 1: You're right. And it's funny because nothing before you know it,

2216
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: nothing's going to be available on free TV across the

2217
01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 1: across the board. You know, we had someone tweetests that

2218
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 1: saying on ESPN and it's and ESPN is about to

2219
01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 1: do their own standalone version of ESPN for anyone that

2220
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 1: hasn't seen. Next year, they released their first direct to

2221
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 1: consumer app that's not like what you're used to. You

2222
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,280
Speaker 1: won't have to have cable or anything else. You'll be

2223
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 1: able just to buy an ESPN. You can get all

2224
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 1: of ESPN for You're right there in the app without

2225
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: having a cable provider or having a TV provider. But

2226
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 1: it's going to cost an arm and a leg. And

2227
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 1: so you do look at this at some point and say,

2228
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,680
Speaker 1: my god, when's enough enough? Like I was listening to

2229
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:54,280
Speaker 1: one of the promos and they were talking about the

2230
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:56,479
Speaker 1: fact that not everybody has Netflix. I'll be honest, like,

2231
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm the one person in the world that if I like,

2232
01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm a team guy, and so T Mobile gives me

2233
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 1: Netflix for free. That's one of the perks of T Mobile.

2234
01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 1: That's what I love. But the fact is, when I

2235
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: had to log into Netflix to watch the football game,

2236
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:14,800
Speaker 1: I had to try and remind myself what my password was.

2237
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:17,599
Speaker 1: I don't ever watch Netflix. I'm just not really sit

2238
01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:21,280
Speaker 1: down and binge watch TV guys. So like I'm a

2239
01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: background noise TV person more often than not. So like

2240
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 1: I feel for everybody, because it is true. If you

2241
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:31,320
Speaker 1: don't have NFL Network today, you're not gonna see I mean,

2242
01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:35,639
Speaker 1: Broncos Bengals is an important playoff game, so you better

2243
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,800
Speaker 1: have a provider of some sort that will give you

2244
01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 1: that opportunity to watch it. Otherwise you can't see it.

2245
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:44,200
Speaker 1: And that's just the NFL is going more and more

2246
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:47,240
Speaker 1: and more to this model. Now, let's be real, I

2247
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:49,679
Speaker 1: grew up in an era that didn't have NFL Sunday Ticket,

2248
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:53,639
Speaker 1: and I'm certainly a lifelong, diehard NFL fan, But once

2249
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 1: you've been used to being able to see all of

2250
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: the games, not being able to see all of the

2251
01:52:57,360 --> 01:53:01,040
Speaker 1: games feels like a huge loss. I don't know, like

2252
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 1: the long term ramifications of this, I think are rather interesting.

2253
01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:08,679
Speaker 1: That there are big, important, beefy games in the schedule

2254
01:53:09,120 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 1: that unless you're out here, you know, I think Yahoo

2255
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 1: said this year was going to cost a thousand dollars

2256
01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 1: basically to have all of the streaming services you would

2257
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 1: need if you want to see every single game, including

2258
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:20,680
Speaker 1: NFL Sunday Ticket, And you know, I think it's kind

2259
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 1: of wild to me, is somebody that's paid for Sunday

2260
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:25,360
Speaker 1: Ticket the majority of my adult life, the fact that

2261
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, you can't get some of these games on

2262
01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:31,799
Speaker 1: Sunday Ticket, it's just it's all frustrating. It's all frustrating,

2263
01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 1: and I will remind everybody that we are the only

2264
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 1: country in the world that doesn't offer NFL Game Pass

2265
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 1: on an ola carte team to team, week to week basis.

2266
01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:45,160
Speaker 1: So when I toured in Europe and I got over there,

2267
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:47,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to watch the Raiders game. And the first

2268
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:49,240
Speaker 1: thing game Pass said when I signed up over there

2269
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 1: was do you want just this week? Do you want

2270
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 1: just the Raiders? Different costs for all of it. They

2271
01:53:53,800 --> 01:53:55,360
Speaker 1: offer that to the rest of the world, but you

2272
01:53:55,520 --> 01:53:57,920
Speaker 1: get here and you're limited on what you can buy

2273
01:53:58,000 --> 01:53:59,360
Speaker 1: and how you can buy it and where you can

2274
01:53:59,439 --> 01:54:02,479
Speaker 1: watch it. Now you have three games, including again two

2275
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:06,520
Speaker 1: important but like Cardinals Rams. I know the Cardinals are eliminated,

2276
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:08,560
Speaker 1: but the Rams, there's a lot of importance this and

2277
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 1: Broncos Bengals is one of the most important games of

2278
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 1: the entire weekend.

2279
01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 2: Right, Charges not for nothing? Right, you want to see

2280
01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 2: what's going to happen with Chargers. It's you know, Chargers

2281
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:23,880
Speaker 2: New England. I'm with you, And that Broncos Bengals game

2282
01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 2: is a great game. That's that should be a blast,

2283
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 2: that game, you know.

2284
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 1: And the fact that the Bengals are just trying to

2285
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 1: scrape their way into this playoff behind just a miraculous

2286
01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 1: performance this year by Joe Burrow. I've said it continuously.

2287
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals are the biggest disappointment in the

2288
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:45,800
Speaker 1: sport this year, and the fact that they're doing what

2289
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 1: they're the fact that they're so bad and compared to

2290
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 1: what they should be, and they get such great play

2291
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,120
Speaker 1: from Burrow and from Jamal right now, it's just I

2292
01:54:55,200 --> 01:54:57,320
Speaker 1: can't believe it. It's stunning to me. I didn't know

2293
01:54:57,400 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: you could screw it up as badly as their defense

2294
01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:00,280
Speaker 1: is tried to screw it up.

2295
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 3: This year right now, Dude, it's crazy in it, It

2296
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:07,840
Speaker 3: really is. It's insane how they just their defense is

2297
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:08,680
Speaker 3: just tragic.

2298
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 2: And you watch Knicks is going to move the ball. Yeah,

2299
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 2: he's going to move the ball. You watch He's moving

2300
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 2: the ball for sure. That's I like Bock. I like

2301
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 2: what Peyton's done with him. You know, he's got a

2302
01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:22,920
Speaker 2: little bit of a you know he's going to be

2303
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 2: I think again, you have a good coach. I think

2304
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:29,880
Speaker 2: he's going to be good. I like the dow down

2305
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 2: the field with Sulton. I think I think this game

2306
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:35,080
Speaker 2: is could be entertaining. I like the Bengals in it,

2307
01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 2: But I think it's gonna be entertaining game.

2308
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:39,400
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the best games of the weekend, honestly.

2309
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 1: And you're right, bo Nicks has turned out like because

2310
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: Sean Payton has done a masterful job. And I really

2311
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:50,000
Speaker 1: I think bon Nicks will have long term, will have

2312
01:55:50,080 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 1: his limitations. But is he going to be a very

2313
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:54,640
Speaker 1: good quarterback? Sure looks like it. Is he going to

2314
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 1: be in my mind? Is he gonna end up being

2315
01:55:56,920 --> 01:56:00,200
Speaker 1: a world beater? No, but we'll see. I mean, he's

2316
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 1: way ahead of where I thought it'd be in one year,

2317
01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:05,520
Speaker 1: that's for sure. That's a testament to Sean Payton, you know, Joe.

2318
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 1: On the other side of it, the Bengals are playing

2319
01:56:08,240 --> 01:56:12,160
Speaker 1: with desperation here. I mean just I'm a little stunned

2320
01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals defensive coordinator lou Anoumo has kept his job

2321
01:56:15,040 --> 01:56:17,200
Speaker 1: considering how bad that defense has been now for two

2322
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:20,640
Speaker 1: straight years. I can't imagine why they didn't make a

2323
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:23,280
Speaker 1: change at some point this season. But now they're kind

2324
01:56:23,320 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 1: of they are where they are, and you know, so

2325
01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:28,640
Speaker 1: which defense of the Broncos defense can certainly get stops?

2326
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:32,720
Speaker 1: This is interesting to me because these are two teams

2327
01:56:32,800 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 1: that believe they belong in the playoffs, and this this

2328
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 1: is basically a playoff game.

2329
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I will say, I mean the Bengals have

2330
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,880
Speaker 2: been they big crushed on defense with injuries too sure

2331
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:48,920
Speaker 2: up front right like so like you know, it's amazing, man,

2332
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:52,960
Speaker 2: you watch this sport and it's just so simple to

2333
01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:56,440
Speaker 2: see if your stat up front, you were gonna you'll

2334
01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 2: be competitive defensively.

2335
01:56:58,280 --> 01:56:59,600
Speaker 3: That's it right.

2336
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 2: Last night Washington State had no defensive line right because

2337
01:57:04,120 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 2: of all the portal and they just couldn't stop Syracuse

2338
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:09,920
Speaker 2: at all. If you have no front, you're you're done.

2339
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:13,360
Speaker 2: You you just can't compete defensively. I think that was

2340
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:14,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals problem.

2341
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,480
Speaker 1: Fat guys win football games on the front and on

2342
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 1: the offensive defense.

2343
01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sure, all right, big our head, last hour,

Speaker 2: get ready for the big for the big weekend of

2369
01:58:35,880 --> 01:58:40,800
Speaker 2: football for us, big NFL tomorrow comes down to Packers

2370
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 2: and Vikings and then Lions at San Francisco on Monday night,

2371
01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:50,520
Speaker 2: and there it is. It's the race for the number

2372
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:54,040
Speaker 2: one overall seed in the NFC. Of course, Chiefs had

2373
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:57,880
Speaker 2: that wrapped up. We spent a good portion in Kansas

2374
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 2: City earlier in the show. So now it's down to

2375
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 2: the NFC and who gets the number one overall seed there, FITZI.

2376
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the number one overall seed there is gonna

2377
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:11,600
Speaker 1: just be absolutely huge to have such a This is

2378
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 1: a weird weekend in the NFL, I mean honestly, because

2379
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:18,400
Speaker 1: the way the schedule is laid out. As I mentioned earlier,

2380
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:22,560
Speaker 1: there's only a few games Sunday, and the few games

2381
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:25,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so many of them stink. Like I mean,

2382
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:31,960
Speaker 1: if we're being honest, Colts, Giants, Raiders, Saints, like, Jets, Bills, Cowboys, Eagles,

2383
01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:35,839
Speaker 1: is okay? I mean you just go to Titans, Jags,

2384
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 1: my god, two three and twelve teams taking each other

2385
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:40,680
Speaker 1: on like there are so many bad games. And then

2386
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:42,960
Speaker 1: to think through all of that that Monday night, we

2387
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 1: will forget all of that because we get the Lions

2388
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:46,520
Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers, and the Lions have so

2389
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:49,440
Speaker 1: much to play for, you know. It's just it's wild

2390
01:59:49,520 --> 01:59:53,800
Speaker 1: to think about how there are and I don't say

2391
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,640
Speaker 1: this lightly, there are more bad teams in the NFL

2392
01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:59,280
Speaker 1: this year than I can ever remember in a single season.

2393
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Bad football everywhere, but the good teams are so stinking

2394
02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:07,720
Speaker 1: good that it makes up for it, and that's wild.

2395
02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean that is maybe it's not that different than

2396
02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 1: college football a lot of times, where there's just a

2397
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:14,880
Speaker 1: bunch of bad if you look up and down the list.

2398
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:16,800
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this for a couple of months now.

2399
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 1: There are teams picking that would be picking in the

2400
02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 1: draft at nine, ten to eleven that most years would

2401
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,160
Speaker 1: be picking at one. They're so bad and all of

2402
02:00:24,200 --> 02:00:26,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, it's that's just the way it goes.

2403
02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:29,760
Speaker 1: So we get a lot of bad football. Like I'm sorry,

2404
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 1: it is hard to sit here and look at some

2405
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 1: of these games and think they're great. But Packers Vikings

2406
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:36,440
Speaker 1: is gonna mask all of that like it is is

2407
02:00:36,560 --> 02:00:39,160
Speaker 1: lipstick on a pig, because Packers Vikings is gonna be

2408
02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:41,400
Speaker 1: so sticking good that we'll forget about the fact that

2409
02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 1: we have to suffer through Titans Jags to get there.

2410
02:00:43,960 --> 02:00:46,880
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's let's dive into the stank, all right,

2411
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:49,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, let's get there. All right, Let's dive into

2412
02:00:49,200 --> 02:00:53,600
Speaker 2: the stack, and we'll save our Super Bowl of Stank

2413
02:00:54,480 --> 02:00:56,720
Speaker 2: Bears Raiders for last.

2414
02:00:57,200 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go in the AFC. The stank is.

2415
02:01:01,560 --> 02:01:05,000
Speaker 2: I'll leave the Dolphins because they don't stank. They're just

2416
02:01:06,120 --> 02:01:10,440
Speaker 2: missing something, right. But deep into the stag is the Jets.

2417
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:13,120
Speaker 2: I mean, what in the world are you going to

2418
02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:15,440
Speaker 2: do next year with Rogers?

2419
02:01:17,080 --> 02:01:18,600
Speaker 1: There are people in the building that want to bring

2420
02:01:18,680 --> 02:01:20,920
Speaker 1: him back, the people in the building that want to

2421
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:23,600
Speaker 1: run it back. And I just think when you have

2422
02:01:23,640 --> 02:01:25,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback that stets up at the podium and talks

2423
02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 1: about being a professional, like the same quarterback that skipped

2424
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:31,520
Speaker 1: part of the OTAs and then just said, hey, it's

2425
02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:34,000
Speaker 1: just an ota, it doesn't matter, you know, then when

2426
02:01:34,320 --> 02:01:38,320
Speaker 1: we people have a quarteractice, yeah, I mean that's there

2427
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 1: are I just don't know how you survive this element.

2428
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:43,360
Speaker 1: The Jets need to rip it all the way down

2429
02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 1: to the studts and just start over.

2430
02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:48,080
Speaker 2: And who's the coach? And by the way, who goes

2431
02:01:48,160 --> 02:01:52,839
Speaker 2: in there? And because they need somebody to take control

2432
02:01:52,880 --> 02:01:57,240
Speaker 2: of the damn thing. So now what do even place

2433
02:01:57,760 --> 02:01:58,400
Speaker 2: and run it?

2434
02:01:58,640 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 3: Run it?

2435
02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:02,440
Speaker 1: That's the hardest part about it though, right I think

2436
02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:05,640
Speaker 1: about it. Brother, when you're talking about putting an owner

2437
02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 1: in their place, which is virtually impossible to do, so

2438
02:02:08,760 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about ownership that stinks with the quarterback situation

2439
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: that is complicated with salary cap that's near the middle

2440
02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:17,360
Speaker 1: of the pack at best, and a draft pick that

2441
02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:21,640
Speaker 1: is not going to be franchise saving. I mean, I

2442
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:24,960
Speaker 1: think it's pretty easy to make the argument that the Jets,

2443
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:28,120
Speaker 1: of all of the upcoming job openings, the Jets are

2444
02:02:28,360 --> 02:02:32,160
Speaker 1: likely to be maybe the worst. According to Tankeathon. Right now,

2445
02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:34,680
Speaker 1: they would have the ninth pick in the draft. They've

2446
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,200
Speaker 1: got a quarterback situation. Where do you bring back a

2447
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 1: guy that at times has looked broken and at times

2448
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:43,040
Speaker 1: has looked okay. But either way, it's just a lightning

2449
02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:45,120
Speaker 1: rod for everything. You don't want to have to deal

2450
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:48,120
Speaker 1: with a lightning rod for distraction. There's no culture of

2451
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:51,400
Speaker 1: championship there. They're there. It's hard to bring in that culture.

2452
02:02:51,800 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 1: You've got weird contracts to work out across the board.

2453
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:57,160
Speaker 1: I just the Jets are a dumpster fire right now.

2454
02:02:57,600 --> 02:03:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. And they need somebody to

2455
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:07,240
Speaker 2: come in strong that can build it. That's that's definitely Listen.

2456
02:03:07,280 --> 02:03:10,200
Speaker 2: New England's on the right path. I think, you know,

2457
02:03:10,320 --> 02:03:12,400
Speaker 2: we'll see I like May and you've got to just

2458
02:03:12,520 --> 02:03:15,080
Speaker 2: rebuild the whole thing. You're you're in the building mode.

2459
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:18,440
Speaker 2: I think you're kind of you're there, right, I mean,

2460
02:03:18,520 --> 02:03:21,080
Speaker 2: this is what's going on the next three years is

2461
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:25,360
Speaker 2: a slog back to build great.

2462
02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:27,080
Speaker 1: And we had to know that this is where New

2463
02:03:27,120 --> 02:03:29,080
Speaker 1: England was going to be. Like I think going into

2464
02:03:29,120 --> 02:03:32,160
Speaker 1: the draft, everybody said, hey, I mean, I say, coming

2465
02:03:32,200 --> 02:03:34,040
Speaker 1: into the year, why even play Drake made this year?

2466
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Your team stinks. You're gonna have to rebuild the whole roster. Okay,

2467
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Drake May has played pretty well. I think I think

2468
02:03:38,760 --> 02:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Drake has shown that he's going to be a good

2469
02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:42,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. So you got your quarterback. And

2470
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:45,160
Speaker 1: right now, if the draft were today, you have the

2471
02:03:45,240 --> 02:03:46,680
Speaker 1: second pick. So you're going to go out and get

2472
02:03:46,680 --> 02:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter like he's for According to most people, he's

2473
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:52,480
Speaker 1: the best best player in this draft, and he's going

2474
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:54,839
Speaker 1: to be available to you too. You get a dynamic

2475
02:03:54,920 --> 02:03:57,240
Speaker 1: playmaker you can this draft. They'll be able to get

2476
02:03:57,240 --> 02:03:58,800
Speaker 1: two or three guys that can come in and help

2477
02:03:58,880 --> 02:04:01,120
Speaker 1: and you start the slow rebuilding. It's gonna take next

2478
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:03,600
Speaker 1: year and another year for them to even get to competitive.

2479
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:05,920
Speaker 3: In my mind, yep, yep. Agree.

2480
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Brown's restructured Deshaun Watson, which probably single signals he's back

2481
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:18,280
Speaker 2: which is a complete disaster of a deal for the Browns.

2482
02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:23,160
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski, I mean, God bless him. No chance with

2483
02:04:23,320 --> 02:04:28,080
Speaker 2: that quarterback. They he can't play. I mean, I don't

2484
02:04:28,120 --> 02:04:30,040
Speaker 2: know what you do if you bring him back because

2485
02:04:30,080 --> 02:04:32,440
Speaker 2: of the salary cap. You restructure it, but you can't

2486
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:33,800
Speaker 2: play him. He's unplayable.

2487
02:04:34,320 --> 02:04:37,720
Speaker 1: And now you know it's funny because I remember not

2488
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:40,720
Speaker 1: long ago in this season, people were talking about fire Stefanski.

2489
02:04:40,880 --> 02:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Hell if I'm Stefanski, give me out.

2490
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me liberate me, liberate me from Deshaun Watson.

2491
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:54,640
Speaker 2: That's truth, all right. Jags and Titans, so they're both

2492
02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 2: three and twelve now. I left the Colts out because

2493
02:04:58,720 --> 02:04:59,800
Speaker 2: I do like the Colts.

2494
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:01,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I know it.

2495
02:05:01,560 --> 02:05:04,960
Speaker 2: Richardson needs a lot of work, but they got a

2496
02:05:05,160 --> 02:05:08,160
Speaker 2: nice day. I still have the death some players. I

2497
02:05:08,360 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 2: like Shane Stike, and I think Indianapolis is is not

2498
02:05:13,600 --> 02:05:16,760
Speaker 2: in stank mode. I think they're kind of coming out.

2499
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:20,800
Speaker 2: Now you've got Jacksonville and Tennessee. Jacksonville, you're gonna have

2500
02:05:20,840 --> 02:05:25,480
Speaker 2: a new coach. I don't know how you win there. Like,

2501
02:05:25,800 --> 02:05:31,520
Speaker 2: that's another franchise with a lot of issues, So I

2502
02:05:31,560 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 2: don't know how you win in Jacksonville. They're the same

2503
02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 2: thing where you're gonna need a gotta go in there

2504
02:05:38,240 --> 02:05:42,680
Speaker 2: fix Lawrence right, because that's number one, and you're gonna

2505
02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:46,080
Speaker 2: have to deal with, you know, three London games probably

2506
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 2: during the course of the year, if not more. So

2507
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:54,720
Speaker 2: that's a tough job. Tennessee is a tough job. It's

2508
02:05:54,760 --> 02:05:57,160
Speaker 2: hard to get them to win. You know, we've seen

2509
02:05:57,200 --> 02:05:59,320
Speaker 2: them have be a playoff team type of thing, but

2510
02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:03,040
Speaker 2: they need a love a love team that needs a quarterback.

2511
02:06:03,200 --> 02:06:04,280
Speaker 3: Levis is the answer.

2512
02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:08,400
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry, go ahead, buddy, No Levis Levis not

2513
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:10,960
Speaker 1: the answer in Tennessee. I think the harder question for

2514
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee is they got to take a good look in

2515
02:06:13,520 --> 02:06:15,960
Speaker 1: the mirror. I know this team well. I lived in

2516
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Nashville for over twenty years, so yesses fans. I don't

2517
02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:20,800
Speaker 1: say this lightly. I do not think that ran Karth

2518
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:22,760
Speaker 1: on the GM has done anything to show that he

2519
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:24,840
Speaker 1: deserves to be a GM in the NFL. I just

2520
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:27,800
Speaker 1: don't believe that he has. And frankly, I'm not sure

2521
02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:30,400
Speaker 1: that Callahan has shown anything in one year that makes

2522
02:06:30,440 --> 02:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, I understand the direction of where we're going.

2523
02:06:33,120 --> 02:06:36,080
Speaker 1: I am a firm believer that what the Tennessee Titans

2524
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:38,040
Speaker 1: need to do. If they're going to draft a quarterback

2525
02:06:38,080 --> 02:06:40,440
Speaker 1: this year and they need one, if they decide that

2526
02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 1: either came or should do or is the future of

2527
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:45,440
Speaker 1: the franchise, then they need to also look in the mirror,

2528
02:06:45,520 --> 02:06:48,160
Speaker 1: like I've said repeatedly, and ask, is everybody in that

2529
02:06:48,240 --> 02:06:52,160
Speaker 1: building the person that you want to develop Cam or

2530
02:06:52,160 --> 02:06:54,520
Speaker 1: should whoever it is. I don't think they have those

2531
02:06:54,560 --> 02:06:56,640
Speaker 1: guys in the like I would do a complete reset.

2532
02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 1: I would just absolutely reset the entire organization for the Titans.

2533
02:07:00,360 --> 02:07:03,040
Speaker 1: If you're taking a quarterback, I would start that reset now.

2534
02:07:03,120 --> 02:07:05,080
Speaker 1: If you're not taking a quarterback, then take the best

2535
02:07:05,120 --> 02:07:07,600
Speaker 1: player available. Start the reset the next year when you

2536
02:07:07,680 --> 02:07:10,120
Speaker 1: take a quarterback. But will Levis is not the answer.

2537
02:07:10,240 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 1: You don't have an answer, And I don't think they

2538
02:07:12,320 --> 02:07:15,400
Speaker 1: have a short or long term path to being competitive

2539
02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:16,280
Speaker 1: where they are right now.

2540
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:18,880
Speaker 2: All right in the NFC, and I think you're spot

2541
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:26,800
Speaker 2: along the Tennessee. The Giants are just tragic, tragic disaster.

2542
02:07:27,520 --> 02:07:27,720
Speaker 4: God.

2543
02:07:27,800 --> 02:07:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I thought Dabel was going to be a

2544
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:32,720
Speaker 2: good cook. I loved him in Buffalo, what he did

2545
02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:38,240
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen and the offense. But man, they're a mess.

2546
02:07:38,320 --> 02:07:40,880
Speaker 2: I mean I think partly the GM. I mean, it's built.

2547
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:44,480
Speaker 2: It was horrific the way it was built. You know,

2548
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:48,080
Speaker 2: first of all, you built it around Daniel Jones, that

2549
02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:50,440
Speaker 2: you let Barkley go. I mean, there were so many

2550
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:54,680
Speaker 2: mistakes with the roster that it's almost it almost takes

2551
02:07:54,840 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Stable off the hulk in my mind.

2552
02:07:57,520 --> 02:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the hardest art about, you know, it's

2553
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:04,960
Speaker 1: just it's right there. The mistakes are right there. All

2554
02:08:05,040 --> 02:08:06,640
Speaker 1: of the things that were done that could have helped

2555
02:08:06,640 --> 02:08:10,000
Speaker 1: the Giants have been done the incorrect way for a

2556
02:08:10,080 --> 02:08:14,160
Speaker 1: couple of years now. So you got to look within

2557
02:08:14,320 --> 02:08:17,520
Speaker 1: and figure out is Daboll the guy at this point?

2558
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. Dab All got to that job

2559
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:22,280
Speaker 1: because he was considered to be the great quarterback, whisper

2560
02:08:22,400 --> 02:08:25,440
Speaker 1: and developer of Josh Allen. Now, guess what I mean,

2561
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 1: Not for nothing, we've seen Josh Allen continue to ascend.

2562
02:08:28,440 --> 02:08:31,560
Speaker 1: So maybe in this situation, when you're asking, well was

2563
02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:33,960
Speaker 1: it Dabell or was it Josh Allen, maybe we need

2564
02:08:34,040 --> 02:08:36,840
Speaker 1: to start giving Josh Allen a little bit more credit

2565
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:39,400
Speaker 1: in this situation for who he is as a quarterback

2566
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:41,080
Speaker 1: and maybe a little less shined to do.

2567
02:08:41,240 --> 02:08:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, although I felt the offense worked like so I

2568
02:08:43,960 --> 02:08:46,960
Speaker 2: think in totality, so yeah, I agree with you. I

2569
02:08:47,240 --> 02:08:49,240
Speaker 2: think you got to give I mean, you give Alan

2570
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:51,720
Speaker 2: all the props, but I think dabl did a good

2571
02:08:51,800 --> 02:08:52,120
Speaker 2: job there.

2572
02:08:52,120 --> 02:08:53,760
Speaker 3: I think he was legit.

2573
02:08:54,920 --> 02:08:56,840
Speaker 2: I just look around, I go, how do I judge

2574
02:08:56,880 --> 02:09:00,960
Speaker 2: the guy with no quarterback has had a quarterback?

2575
02:09:02,120 --> 02:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. The unfortunate thing is that

2576
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:07,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not just saying this because the Raiders don't

2577
02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:11,720
Speaker 1: have the number one overall pick. I don't believe that

2578
02:09:11,880 --> 02:09:15,000
Speaker 1: cam Ward or Shador Sanders are anywhere near the sure

2579
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:17,800
Speaker 1: thing that we usually think of for a quarterback. So

2580
02:09:17,880 --> 02:09:20,000
Speaker 1: the hardest part about this for all of these teams

2581
02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:22,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about is I believe, in a normal draft,

2582
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:28,520
Speaker 1: if Sanity Rail was the norm, Shaudre and cam are

2583
02:09:28,720 --> 02:09:30,600
Speaker 1: mid to late first round picks that you take a

2584
02:09:30,640 --> 02:09:32,520
Speaker 1: flyer on and you develop and you see, hey, can

2585
02:09:32,560 --> 02:09:34,960
Speaker 1: this guy be the guy? Neither of them are what

2586
02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:37,360
Speaker 1: I think of for when I think of first overall pick,

2587
02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:39,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Joe Burrow, and neither of these guys

2588
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:42,840
Speaker 1: to me look like Joe Burrow right now. So neither

2589
02:09:42,880 --> 02:09:45,400
Speaker 1: of these guys, to most of the guys that I

2590
02:09:45,520 --> 02:09:48,720
Speaker 1: talk to, look like Joe Burrow right now. So you know,

2591
02:09:49,280 --> 02:09:51,520
Speaker 1: the unfortunate thing for the Giants is they are in

2592
02:09:51,600 --> 02:09:54,919
Speaker 1: the unenviable position where they have to take a quarterback.

2593
02:09:55,160 --> 02:09:57,600
Speaker 1: They do not have one. They need to press reset.

2594
02:09:58,000 --> 02:09:59,800
Speaker 1: This is a terrible draft to need to do that.

2595
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:01,800
Speaker 1: And I don't care if we're talking about the Giants

2596
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:04,560
Speaker 1: of the Raiders. It's a terrible draft to need a quarterback. Kid.

2597
02:10:04,600 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 1: Sure might work, I mean, heck yeah. And you might also,

2598
02:10:07,640 --> 02:10:09,280
Speaker 1: as I say all the time, you might go to

2599
02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the gas station today, you might buy a scratch off

2600
02:10:12,280 --> 02:10:15,720
Speaker 1: lottery ticket, and it might be how you pay your bills. Congratulations.

2601
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:18,000
Speaker 1: But man, I wouldn't go to the bank and be like, hey,

2602
02:10:18,040 --> 02:10:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm buying a car because I'm headed to buy the

2603
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:22,280
Speaker 1: scratch off lottery ticket. That's what this year's draft feels

2604
02:10:22,280 --> 02:10:22,600
Speaker 1: like to me.

2605
02:10:22,920 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's it.

2606
02:10:25,960 --> 02:10:30,360
Speaker 2: Uh, Arizona kind of in no man's land a little bit.

2607
02:10:30,520 --> 02:10:32,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you're locked in with Kyler?

2608
02:10:34,080 --> 02:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Is he your answer? Is it his fault? I don't.

2609
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's his fault, But I don't think, man,

2610
02:10:41,560 --> 02:10:44,160
Speaker 1: do any of us feel like is a franchise savor right?

2611
02:10:44,280 --> 02:10:46,680
Speaker 1: Like there's this this middle of the ground and that's

2612
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:50,520
Speaker 1: middle ground on all of this is just man, Kyler

2613
02:10:50,640 --> 02:10:52,920
Speaker 1: is just good enough to win you some games and

2614
02:10:53,640 --> 02:10:55,760
Speaker 1: lose you some games. I don't I don't know what

2615
02:10:55,880 --> 02:10:59,200
Speaker 1: the easy answer is for Arizona. I just I can't

2616
02:10:59,240 --> 02:11:01,240
Speaker 1: look at Arizona and say and look, there's seven or eight.

2617
02:11:01,320 --> 02:11:04,000
Speaker 1: This guy's not falling for Arizona. There's seven or eight.

2618
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:06,960
Speaker 1: I just don't look at Arizona and say, yeah, I

2619
02:11:07,040 --> 02:11:10,200
Speaker 1: think we talk about disappointment. Marvin Harrison Junior this year

2620
02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:12,920
Speaker 1: has been a disappointment. There's no nice way to say it.

2621
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not even the best rookie drafted. When

2622
02:11:16,240 --> 02:11:20,280
Speaker 1: you talk about impacted wide receiver, Brian Thomas has been

2623
02:11:20,600 --> 02:11:23,440
Speaker 1: far more impactful, you know. I mean it's kind of

2624
02:11:23,520 --> 02:11:25,880
Speaker 1: alarming at this point when you look at what we

2625
02:11:26,040 --> 02:11:28,800
Speaker 1: expected from Marvin Harrison Junior versus what we're getting. It's

2626
02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:31,360
Speaker 1: a reminder that none of this is a sure thing,

2627
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:32,720
Speaker 1: because he was about as sure as he gets it.

2628
02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:35,800
Speaker 1: He's been good. He's been good, but he hasn't been transcendent.

2629
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:38,960
Speaker 1: And so if you're Arizona, man, you got a lot

2630
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:41,520
Speaker 1: to figure out on how to jump from being okay

2631
02:11:41,600 --> 02:11:44,240
Speaker 1: to being really good. I don't know that Kyler is

2632
02:11:44,280 --> 02:11:45,760
Speaker 1: the guy, but I also think you run it back

2633
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:48,440
Speaker 1: with Kyler for another year because Kyler is better than

2634
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:50,480
Speaker 1: any option you're gonna have this year in free agency

2635
02:11:50,600 --> 02:11:51,120
Speaker 1: or the draft.

2636
02:11:51,520 --> 02:11:53,560
Speaker 3: Yep. And then you got the Saints.

2637
02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:59,959
Speaker 2: I mean they're horrible, right, Like, if you need a quarterback,

2638
02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:04,280
Speaker 2: you're going to even coach they're they're even a complete

2639
02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:05,720
Speaker 2: rebuild to that team.

2640
02:12:06,120 --> 02:12:09,280
Speaker 3: That's pretty rough. That's a rough undertaking.

2641
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:12,280
Speaker 1: This is the year I think it finally makes sense

2642
02:12:12,320 --> 02:12:14,800
Speaker 1: for New Orleans just completely reset the whole thing. They're

2643
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:17,520
Speaker 1: According to over thecap dot com, they're always the worst

2644
02:12:17,520 --> 02:12:19,560
Speaker 1: than this. But according to overthcap dot com right now,

2645
02:12:20,040 --> 02:12:23,000
Speaker 1: they are sixty four million dollars over the cap next year.

2646
02:12:23,360 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 1: So you know, they've been kicking the can down the

2647
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 1: road for a long time. They get away with it

2648
02:12:27,520 --> 02:12:29,440
Speaker 1: all the time, but you start to think about dead

2649
02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:32,520
Speaker 1: cap next year. I mean, there's no way they're getting

2650
02:12:32,600 --> 02:12:35,040
Speaker 1: rid of Derek Carr. As much as Derek Carr hasn't

2651
02:12:35,080 --> 02:12:39,400
Speaker 1: been particularly good. A pre June first cut of Derek

2652
02:12:39,480 --> 02:12:41,960
Speaker 1: Carr is a sixty three million dollar capit. They can't

2653
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:45,160
Speaker 1: take that. If they designated post June first, it's still

2654
02:12:45,200 --> 02:12:48,000
Speaker 1: a twenty three million dollar cappit. There are already sixty

2655
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:50,680
Speaker 1: three million dollars over the cap. I just don't Derek

2656
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:52,240
Speaker 1: Carr is going to be the quarterback of the Saints

2657
02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:54,960
Speaker 1: next year. And also, you know, as I keep mentioning,

2658
02:12:55,040 --> 02:12:57,080
Speaker 1: look at where they draft this year, New Orleans is

2659
02:12:57,160 --> 02:12:59,880
Speaker 1: going to pick tenth, and they're picking tenth behind several

2660
02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:02,360
Speaker 1: teams that need a quarterback. So their best case scenario,

2661
02:13:02,480 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 1: even if they wanted to draft a replacement, barring a

2662
02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:08,360
Speaker 1: massive trade up, would be the fourth best quarterback maybe

2663
02:13:08,440 --> 02:13:11,040
Speaker 1: in this year's draft. That's a third round pick in

2664
02:13:11,120 --> 02:13:13,960
Speaker 1: this year's draft, not a first round pick. So and

2665
02:13:14,080 --> 02:13:15,520
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing you can do, and I

2666
02:13:15,560 --> 02:13:17,520
Speaker 1: don't care if we're talking about the Saints or even

2667
02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, my beloved Raiders, the worst thing you can

2668
02:13:20,040 --> 02:13:21,800
Speaker 1: do is trade up a bunch of equity to move

2669
02:13:21,880 --> 02:13:23,400
Speaker 1: up for one of these guys this year. I just

2670
02:13:23,920 --> 02:13:27,560
Speaker 1: it's already a crapshoot, a crap shoot with future you know,

2671
02:13:28,080 --> 02:13:31,120
Speaker 1: future equity attached to it. That just feels gross.

2672
02:13:31,960 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, gross, Oh man, are you kidding me? Poor Brianna

2673
02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:38,760
Speaker 3: is crying.

2674
02:13:39,280 --> 02:13:46,480
Speaker 7: You're right, Brie hysterically crying. Yes, devastated, especially when fifty

2675
02:13:46,560 --> 02:13:50,200
Speaker 7: said those numbers about the sixty three million, that's really depressing.

2676
02:13:50,880 --> 02:13:55,040
Speaker 1: They got no coach, They have roster holes everywhere, they

2677
02:13:55,120 --> 02:13:58,440
Speaker 1: have no money. Like the best thing you can say

2678
02:13:58,560 --> 02:14:00,600
Speaker 1: right now to me for the same since they've spent

2679
02:14:00,640 --> 02:14:03,000
Speaker 1: a lot of years trying to delay this, this is

2680
02:14:03,120 --> 02:14:06,120
Speaker 1: that come to Jesus moment. All right, just rip it apart,

2681
02:14:06,880 --> 02:14:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, get through the next year. And while you're

2682
02:14:09,160 --> 02:14:10,960
Speaker 1: getting through the next year, just take all the lumps

2683
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:13,040
Speaker 1: that you possibly can as quickly as you can, get

2684
02:14:13,080 --> 02:14:16,600
Speaker 1: out as many contracts as you can, and start the slow, long,

2685
02:14:16,680 --> 02:14:20,080
Speaker 1: painful process of rebuilding. And this is a big reminder,

2686
02:14:20,440 --> 02:14:23,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Saints are not that different. Things

2687
02:14:23,360 --> 02:14:25,400
Speaker 1: look different when you have a Hall of Fame coach

2688
02:14:25,480 --> 02:14:28,160
Speaker 1: and a Hall of Fame quarterback caliber quarterback. When you

2689
02:14:28,280 --> 02:14:30,680
Speaker 1: have those two things, when you have greatness at coaching quarterback,

2690
02:14:31,080 --> 02:14:34,320
Speaker 1: things seem really easy. When you don't, it isn't, you know.

2691
02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:36,600
Speaker 1: And that's just that's the fact for both of them.

2692
02:14:36,880 --> 02:14:42,400
Speaker 2: That's true, and that leaves the Super Bowl bad because

2693
02:14:42,480 --> 02:14:45,080
Speaker 2: both go back basically to the eighties. Nine other Raiders

2694
02:14:45,720 --> 02:14:51,600
Speaker 2: had that blip with you know, my dear boy, my

2695
02:14:51,720 --> 02:14:56,560
Speaker 2: dear friend, Lakey Kennedy, and you know, the Raiders had

2696
02:14:56,640 --> 02:14:59,520
Speaker 2: that year, you know, I mean, geez, it was a

2697
02:14:59,600 --> 02:15:04,760
Speaker 2: great run and unfortunately Tuck Roll probably killed that Super Bowl.

2698
02:15:05,680 --> 02:15:08,160
Speaker 2: And then you know, the Mets started right after that,

2699
02:15:08,400 --> 02:15:13,760
Speaker 2: right after Gruden the leaves, so after that, the Bears. Meanwhile,

2700
02:15:13,880 --> 02:15:17,800
Speaker 2: I had that one Super Bowl you know, appearance in

2701
02:15:17,920 --> 02:15:21,040
Speaker 2: the rain if you remember, But other than that, it's

2702
02:15:21,120 --> 02:15:25,840
Speaker 2: really been a disaster, both with quarterback and coach.

2703
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:28,040
Speaker 3: And it continues. Now.

2704
02:15:28,080 --> 02:15:31,000
Speaker 2: You know, you got a quarterback with Caleb Williams, but

2705
02:15:31,080 --> 02:15:34,800
Speaker 2: he needs so much work. You gotta get him fixed.

2706
02:15:35,320 --> 02:15:37,480
Speaker 2: The Raiders meanwhile, I don't know, I mean, I feel

2707
02:15:37,520 --> 02:15:40,680
Speaker 2: bad for Antonio Pierce because how do you judge Antonio

2708
02:15:40,800 --> 02:15:42,400
Speaker 2: Pierce without a quarterback?

2709
02:15:44,080 --> 02:15:48,240
Speaker 1: You don't, I mean, you can't. But at the same time,

2710
02:15:48,480 --> 02:15:50,800
Speaker 1: there been this is where Raiders fans will yell and scream.

2711
02:15:51,760 --> 02:15:54,680
Speaker 1: There have been mismanagement moments all over the place for

2712
02:15:54,720 --> 02:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce, and that that's all fair, But you either

2713
02:15:57,960 --> 02:16:00,280
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, you don't you know and send stat

2714
02:16:00,360 --> 02:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Lincoln Kennedy Raiders team since two thousand and two, two

2715
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:06,240
Speaker 1: thousand and two, let me say that again, when the

2716
02:16:06,320 --> 02:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Raiders lost the Super Bowl. I've watched two winning seasons,

2717
02:16:10,680 --> 02:16:13,720
Speaker 1: two total since two thousand and two. I've seen two

2718
02:16:14,240 --> 02:16:18,080
Speaker 1: winning seasons. You want to talk about just historically bad

2719
02:16:18,560 --> 02:16:21,640
Speaker 1: year after year after year. Two winning seasons in the

2720
02:16:21,720 --> 02:16:25,360
Speaker 1: last twenty two years is just that's a level of

2721
02:16:25,480 --> 02:16:28,840
Speaker 1: disgusting that I don't know how to even process. And

2722
02:16:29,160 --> 02:16:36,440
Speaker 1: then you know, just looking quickly here one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,

2723
02:16:36,680 --> 02:16:39,440
Speaker 1: fourteen seasons in the last twenty two years with double

2724
02:16:39,480 --> 02:16:45,720
Speaker 1: digit losses, think about that, like double digit losses fourteen times.

2725
02:16:46,160 --> 02:16:49,879
Speaker 1: That's a level of aneptitude that is just currently unfixable.

2726
02:16:50,320 --> 02:16:52,920
Speaker 1: It's unfortunately, it's a bad year. Need a quarterback. I

2727
02:16:53,040 --> 02:16:55,160
Speaker 1: just there's not an easy answer for it, for any

2728
02:16:55,200 --> 02:16:58,520
Speaker 1: of it. Like I'm ever the realist right now, and

2729
02:16:58,600 --> 02:17:02,200
Speaker 1: ever the realist says that this team needs I don't know,

2730
02:17:02,680 --> 02:17:05,720
Speaker 1: ten new starters, ten new starters, including a quarterback.

2731
02:17:05,840 --> 02:17:09,959
Speaker 9: And when you need that's good, Yeah, yeah, brock Powers

2732
02:17:10,080 --> 02:17:13,000
Speaker 9: is a beast look and I talk about I talk

2733
02:17:13,040 --> 02:17:15,560
Speaker 9: about wasted seasons, I'll be I'll be as I'm sitting

2734
02:17:15,640 --> 02:17:18,800
Speaker 9: here with the Max Crosby signed jersey behind me, like

2735
02:17:18,920 --> 02:17:21,560
Speaker 9: they have wasted Max Crosby year in and year out,

2736
02:17:21,840 --> 02:17:23,000
Speaker 9: just wasted.

2737
02:17:22,720 --> 02:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Over and over and over again. A A elites could

2738
02:17:25,879 --> 02:17:27,960
Speaker 1: end up being Hall of Fame caliber player has just

2739
02:17:28,080 --> 02:17:32,039
Speaker 1: been wasted in his prime. It's it's wild to watch,

2740
02:17:32,120 --> 02:17:33,760
Speaker 1: and you know, and so now what do you do?

2741
02:17:34,080 --> 02:17:36,119
Speaker 1: Because when you know you're gonna suck, and you're gonna

2742
02:17:36,160 --> 02:17:37,760
Speaker 1: suck for a minute and it's gonna take a long

2743
02:17:37,800 --> 02:17:40,720
Speaker 1: time to rebuild this, Like, I just don't know. Do

2744
02:17:40,800 --> 02:17:42,920
Speaker 1: you reach a quarterback and take a quarterback because you

2745
02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:45,600
Speaker 1: have none, or do you just continue what Tom Telesco

2746
02:17:45,680 --> 02:17:47,840
Speaker 1: did last year, which was best player available. I mean,

2747
02:17:48,400 --> 02:17:50,480
Speaker 1: everybody I know tells me the Raiders were gonna take

2748
02:17:50,520 --> 02:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Penix last year. They didn't expect that he'd be gone

2749
02:17:53,200 --> 02:17:55,879
Speaker 1: he was, so they went best player available. This year,

2750
02:17:56,320 --> 02:17:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna reach and trade up for Shador

2751
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:01,959
Speaker 1: or you're gonna sit back and just take best player available.

2752
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just know that there's not

2753
02:18:04,879 --> 02:18:07,560
Speaker 1: an easy solution. Not an easy solution for the Raiders.

2754

2771
02:19:04,760 --> 02:19:09,080
Speaker 4: I enjoyed Iceland, and I'm not even close. It was

2772
02:19:09,080 --> 02:19:10,400
Speaker 4: the best trip I've been in in my life.

2773
02:19:13,320 --> 02:19:16,040
Speaker 3: I saw some of those pictures were think you sent me.

2774
02:19:17,080 --> 02:19:19,240
Speaker 4: The stuff I saw in Iceland was the best like

2775
02:19:19,640 --> 02:19:23,960
Speaker 4: nature that I've ever seen. I beyond loved it. I

2776
02:19:24,000 --> 02:19:26,160
Speaker 4: thought it was incredible. I like Spain. Don't get me wrong.

2777
02:19:26,200 --> 02:19:30,320
Speaker 4: I enjoyed it and go back. But the stuff I

2778
02:19:30,400 --> 02:19:34,680
Speaker 4: saw in Iceland was just absolutely phenomenous and called Diamond Beach.

2779
02:19:35,280 --> 02:19:38,600
Speaker 4: Anyone ever trustfully on one thing in life, if you

2780
02:19:38,640 --> 02:19:40,200
Speaker 4: ever wanted to make a trip and see something that

2781
02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:41,880
Speaker 4: was the most beautiful than you've ever seen in your life,

2782
02:19:42,160 --> 02:19:48,320
Speaker 4: google Diamond Beach and Iceland phenomenal. Cannot stress enough, nothing

2783
02:19:48,480 --> 02:19:51,160
Speaker 4: like nothing else I've ever seen before. Be like watching

2784
02:19:51,280 --> 02:19:53,879
Speaker 4: Joel be played back in that games just impossible.

2785
02:19:54,720 --> 02:19:58,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

2786
02:19:59,200 --> 02:20:01,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm a big fan of the tapa Is

2787
02:20:02,400 --> 02:20:04,480
Speaker 3: and uh that's Battish culture.

2788
02:20:04,560 --> 02:20:07,080
Speaker 4: So you know, look, I by the way, I got

2789
02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:09,800
Speaker 4: to tell you, man, I tell you this. I I went.

2790
02:20:09,920 --> 02:20:13,520
Speaker 4: I saw my first two in person soccer games, which

2791
02:20:13,879 --> 02:20:17,480
Speaker 4: you're going to find this shocking, I think. I actually

2792
02:20:18,240 --> 02:20:21,320
Speaker 4: I would rank it like in person probably my second

2793
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:22,480
Speaker 4: favorite sport for watch.

2794
02:20:22,760 --> 02:20:24,480
Speaker 3: I could say it. I could totally say it. I'm not.

2795
02:20:25,040 --> 02:20:27,320
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it a lot. I loved it. I

2796
02:20:27,400 --> 02:20:29,480
Speaker 4: didn't like it. I loved it. I would like I

2797
02:20:29,520 --> 02:20:31,680
Speaker 4: would go every day to watch them. I really enjoyed it.

2798
02:20:32,640 --> 02:20:34,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise me. And I will tell you. I've

2799
02:20:34,840 --> 02:20:36,640
Speaker 1: been lucky enough to go to a bunch of MLS games.

2800
02:20:36,680 --> 02:20:39,199
Speaker 1: I know it's much different in the States, but MLS

2801
02:20:39,280 --> 02:20:42,080
Speaker 1: games do a really nice job. I've been to soccer

2802
02:20:42,360 --> 02:20:45,080
Speaker 1: in England and MLS does a really good job of

2803
02:20:45,320 --> 02:20:47,200
Speaker 1: recreating it. I've never been to Spain, though Spain's on

2804
02:20:47,240 --> 02:20:48,320
Speaker 1: the list. It's it's one of the.

2805
02:20:48,680 --> 02:20:53,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of games. The Athletico Madrid Stadium was

2806
02:20:53,600 --> 02:20:58,320
Speaker 4: just phenomenal, like phenomenal, it was great. Listen, man, I

2807
02:20:58,680 --> 02:21:00,360
Speaker 4: and I always say that when you lived long, if

2808
02:21:00,400 --> 02:21:03,640
Speaker 4: you can you have the ability and time to see

2809
02:21:03,840 --> 02:21:07,600
Speaker 4: other cultures of the world, it's just worth it in

2810
02:21:07,720 --> 02:21:10,760
Speaker 4: my humble opinion. But you know, just if you have

2811
02:21:10,840 --> 02:21:12,360
Speaker 4: the ability to do. I just think it's really cool

2812
02:21:12,360 --> 02:21:15,040
Speaker 4: to see how other people live, what things they like,

2813
02:21:15,160 --> 02:21:19,240
Speaker 4: what things they enjoy, how they spend their time. It's

2814
02:21:19,320 --> 02:21:21,360
Speaker 4: just uh. I always try to learn, and so it's

2815
02:21:21,360 --> 02:21:24,160
Speaker 4: always I love. I love to see new things, new places,

2816
02:21:24,240 --> 02:21:24,959
Speaker 4: new experiences.

2817
02:21:25,800 --> 02:21:27,760
Speaker 3: That's fabulous. And you open up your kids mind, that's

2818
02:21:27,879 --> 02:21:30,520
Speaker 3: that's awesome. All right.

2819
02:21:31,120 --> 02:21:33,560
Speaker 2: Let's if somebody wants to try to take a trip

2820
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:35,240
Speaker 2: to Iceland, let's try to help them pay for it.

2821
02:21:35,280 --> 02:21:39,000
Speaker 4: All right, well said about it.

2822
02:21:40,040 --> 02:21:41,560
Speaker 3: So a couple of things.

2823
02:21:41,840 --> 02:21:44,560
Speaker 2: Let's start off before we get to college, because we'll

2824
02:21:44,560 --> 02:21:48,560
Speaker 2: go through the college all the college games, but NFL today.

2825
02:21:48,720 --> 02:21:52,640
Speaker 2: So let's tackle the NFL today and tomorrow. Three games today.

2826
02:21:54,280 --> 02:21:56,680
Speaker 2: I've off the bat. The Bengals stand out.

2827
02:21:56,560 --> 02:21:56,800
Speaker 4: To me.

2828
02:21:59,360 --> 02:21:59,960
Speaker 3: The thing.

2829
02:22:00,400 --> 02:22:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I lit, I laid the three with the Bengals, Antony, listen,

2830
02:22:05,080 --> 02:22:09,800
Speaker 4: I I just this is obviously there their super Bowl,

2831
02:22:09,920 --> 02:22:13,240
Speaker 4: so to speak, and I just as great as them

2832
02:22:13,280 --> 02:22:14,520
Speaker 4: for has been. And I don't think this is a

2833
02:22:14,600 --> 02:22:16,880
Speaker 4: qute unquote bad number. I thought it would come in,

2834
02:22:17,480 --> 02:22:21,440
Speaker 4: you know, three and a half fourish, I got three.

2835
02:22:21,560 --> 02:22:23,480
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying like I thought they'd be like

2836
02:22:23,600 --> 02:22:28,680
Speaker 4: some crazy favorite. But I just I just trusted this

2837
02:22:28,920 --> 02:22:31,080
Speaker 4: game with all the things on the line. I just

2838
02:22:31,160 --> 02:22:34,560
Speaker 4: trust Borrowing Company to get it done more than bo

2839
02:22:34,720 --> 02:22:38,440
Speaker 4: Nixon Company. I just did this to meet again, this

2840
02:22:38,600 --> 02:22:40,280
Speaker 4: is their super Well, I think they would escape by

2841
02:22:40,280 --> 02:22:41,600
Speaker 4: at least touchdown. I really do.

2842
02:22:43,040 --> 02:22:45,080
Speaker 1: What do you think of the Cardinals rams Cardinals with

2843
02:22:45,200 --> 02:22:47,720
Speaker 1: nothing to play for? Factor that sort of a matchup,

2844
02:22:47,760 --> 02:22:49,680
Speaker 1: especially when we don't know what's up with James Conner.

2845
02:22:50,360 --> 02:22:53,160
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, listen, when you say in the pounds.

2846
02:22:53,160 --> 02:22:55,960
Speaker 4: Obviously Cordres's been great for them. But when you say

2847
02:22:56,000 --> 02:22:57,800
Speaker 4: they not to play for it, listen, the woman I

2848
02:22:57,920 --> 02:23:01,160
Speaker 4: always will say about that is, you know, as long

2849
02:23:01,200 --> 02:23:03,480
Speaker 4: as they're playing their players, these guys you would agree

2850
02:23:03,520 --> 02:23:06,199
Speaker 4: to see, you're playing every single week for their jobs

2851
02:23:06,240 --> 02:23:09,000
Speaker 4: in the sense that their auditioning, not for their team

2852
02:23:09,240 --> 02:23:11,960
Speaker 4: like for some other teams. So I don't think like

2853
02:23:12,320 --> 02:23:14,840
Speaker 4: players just started, I'm not trying this week or anything like.

2854
02:23:14,879 --> 02:23:17,760
Speaker 4: I don't think it ever really happens. Now. Organizationally, you

2855
02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:19,800
Speaker 4: could say, all right, you know, like for example, the

2856
02:23:19,840 --> 02:23:22,840
Speaker 4: Cowboys are resting ceedee lamb, right, I think that stuff happens,

2857
02:23:23,160 --> 02:23:25,200
Speaker 4: But I think the players are always giving quote unquote

2858
02:23:25,280 --> 02:23:27,720
Speaker 4: max effort. I'm not expecting any of these guys to

2859
02:23:28,040 --> 02:23:31,080
Speaker 4: look the line is pricey, right, I mean, if this

2860
02:23:31,200 --> 02:23:33,280
Speaker 4: game was played two weeks ago, I think this line

2861
02:23:33,280 --> 02:23:37,600
Speaker 4: would have been lere than three. Oh yeah, I think

2862
02:23:37,640 --> 02:23:40,680
Speaker 4: with the must than three. I really do. In fact,

2863
02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:43,360
Speaker 4: Arizona was power rated to be the better team, So

2864
02:23:44,040 --> 02:23:46,000
Speaker 4: the only way I can look here would be Arizona.

2865
02:23:46,040 --> 02:23:48,800
Speaker 4: Arizona me is one of those teams where I hate

2866
02:23:48,840 --> 02:23:52,840
Speaker 4: them laying points, hate them taking points. They're always into

2867
02:23:52,920 --> 02:23:55,520
Speaker 4: me and as that punters chance just because of the

2868
02:23:55,640 --> 02:23:58,920
Speaker 4: uniqueness of Kayler, Murray rams to be not a team

2869
02:23:58,920 --> 02:24:01,400
Speaker 4: I want to be laying points. It didn't bet the game,

2870
02:24:01,480 --> 02:24:03,840
Speaker 4: but for me, easy lean would be the Arizona Cardinals

2871
02:24:03,879 --> 02:24:08,879
Speaker 4: getting the plays with the Chargers. Ye know, look there

2872
02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:11,880
Speaker 4: laying about six against New England first with Drake and May.

2873
02:24:11,920 --> 02:24:15,200
Speaker 4: By the way, guys, I won't want to call it,

2874
02:24:15,280 --> 02:24:18,080
Speaker 4: but I think he's incredible. I love Drake May everything

2875
02:24:18,400 --> 02:24:20,800
Speaker 4: about this guy. I think he's absolutely going to be

2876
02:24:20,879 --> 02:24:24,920
Speaker 4: a stud like him. Yeah, yeah, I really like Drake May.

2877
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:26,240
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be like one of these

2878
02:24:26,320 --> 02:24:29,440
Speaker 4: quarterbacks the next twelve years. Really quite good. Only I

2879
02:24:29,520 --> 02:24:31,680
Speaker 4: bet this game. I bet Ymandra Stevenson over ten and

2880
02:24:31,720 --> 02:24:33,840
Speaker 4: a half rusher temps. He's going over at six in

2881
02:24:33,879 --> 02:24:36,720
Speaker 4: his last seven games. I see no reason why I

2882
02:24:36,720 --> 02:24:39,039
Speaker 4: shouldn't do it. Here a game against hit the Chargers,

2883
02:24:39,160 --> 02:24:42,119
Speaker 4: a game of chitty relatively close. I only game trips

2884
02:24:42,160 --> 02:24:45,360
Speaker 4: and they get away from there from the Patriots here

2885
02:24:45,360 --> 02:24:47,640
Speaker 4: really going to fall behind by too many. Uh. That

2886
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:50,320
Speaker 4: was my favorite bet, and that particular game with Stevenson

2887
02:24:50,440 --> 02:24:52,520
Speaker 4: over ten and a half rusher Temps. I think I

2888
02:24:52,560 --> 02:24:54,039
Speaker 4: think the game will be I think I think six

2889
02:24:54,200 --> 02:24:56,039
Speaker 4: is the right number in this game. Guys, I really

2890
02:24:56,080 --> 02:24:57,600
Speaker 4: do all right, give me.

2891
02:24:57,640 --> 02:25:01,280
Speaker 1: To college football playoffs. I'm too excited. I got help me.

2892
02:25:01,440 --> 02:25:03,640
Speaker 1: Help us figure out what to expect with one of

2893
02:25:03,680 --> 02:25:06,080
Speaker 1: the games that we've been debating a lot today and

2894
02:25:06,080 --> 02:25:07,600
Speaker 1: whether or not it's gonna be good or not. Notre

2895
02:25:07,760 --> 02:25:09,880
Speaker 1: Dame Georgia. What do you see there?

2896
02:25:10,600 --> 02:25:12,600
Speaker 4: God, well, I mean it should be a good. Look.

2897
02:25:12,640 --> 02:25:17,280
Speaker 4: I listen, I give look. Anthony. By the way, I'm

2898
02:25:17,320 --> 02:25:18,600
Speaker 4: not sure if you said it on your show, but

2899
02:25:18,680 --> 02:25:21,840
Speaker 4: on this Pholley Show he did say. For everyone listening.

2900
02:25:22,040 --> 02:25:25,480
Speaker 4: Anthony was like five six weeks ago, we're talking about stuff,

2901
02:25:25,520 --> 02:25:27,520
Speaker 4: and he goes, he loved Notre Name at twenty eight

2902
02:25:27,600 --> 02:25:29,800
Speaker 4: or thirty one ops to win the title, and man,

2903
02:25:29,840 --> 02:25:31,720
Speaker 4: if you had that ticket right now, that that could

2904
02:25:31,720 --> 02:25:35,720
Speaker 4: pay for multiple trips fight. So that was his team,

2905
02:25:35,840 --> 02:25:38,120
Speaker 4: and so I know he's probably a meaning mayor. You know,

2906
02:25:38,240 --> 02:25:40,760
Speaker 4: it's interesting Georgia's team. I don't love it, Georgia, But

2907
02:25:40,800 --> 02:25:43,240
Speaker 4: I actually did that Georgia at a pick here. Believe

2908
02:25:43,240 --> 02:25:46,000
Speaker 4: it or not, You're like, I laid like a balansive team,

2909
02:25:46,080 --> 02:25:49,560
Speaker 4: But I actually think Georgia couldn't win the game. Now.

2910
02:25:49,959 --> 02:25:53,119
Speaker 4: For me, one of the reasons was having watched Georgia

2911
02:25:53,120 --> 02:25:55,480
Speaker 4: play like, you know more, I think more or less

2912
02:25:55,480 --> 02:25:57,520
Speaker 4: every game they played this year. I thought Carson Beck

2913
02:25:57,760 --> 02:26:02,000
Speaker 4: was the most over to college athlete I've ever seen.

2914
02:26:03,080 --> 02:26:07,119
Speaker 3: Like, I think, yeah, that's Georgia.

2915
02:26:07,600 --> 02:26:11,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, right on the blind Like on the blind, I like.

2916
02:26:11,760 --> 02:26:15,280
Speaker 3: Everything I heard about the kid. That kid. I think,

2917
02:26:15,480 --> 02:26:18,160
Speaker 3: what is named to Gunner as your quarterback?

2918
02:26:18,720 --> 02:26:21,440
Speaker 4: And you did you see smart Anthony talking about him

2919
02:26:21,440 --> 02:26:24,520
Speaker 4: at halftime? There's just something that like, again, look you

2920
02:26:24,560 --> 02:26:27,280
Speaker 4: always need toe quote unquote coach speak, but it seems

2921
02:26:27,840 --> 02:26:29,039
Speaker 4: like a really like like.

2922
02:26:29,360 --> 02:26:33,640
Speaker 3: Kid, Yeah, yeah, your cat smile about that?

2923
02:26:33,800 --> 02:26:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, something like that. And and I look, Notre Dame. Look,

2924
02:26:38,480 --> 02:26:42,360
Speaker 4: they clearly outclass Indiana. They did. And I mean there's

2925
02:26:42,360 --> 02:26:44,920
Speaker 4: no other way of saying they Indiana clearly. Again. I

2926
02:26:44,959 --> 02:26:46,760
Speaker 4: remember I said either you believe you don't believe in

2927
02:26:46,760 --> 02:26:49,040
Speaker 4: them in the beginning, and they they turned out to

2928
02:26:49,080 --> 02:26:51,879
Speaker 4: be fake. They had the easy schedule, and then when

2929
02:26:51,879 --> 02:26:54,960
Speaker 4: they stepped up in class against Ohio State, they got

2930
02:26:55,000 --> 02:26:58,320
Speaker 4: absolutely trounced. They step up in classed against Notre Dame

2931
02:26:58,520 --> 02:27:01,000
Speaker 4: they and I hate it with their co guy was

2932
02:27:01,120 --> 02:27:04,360
Speaker 4: just talking smack like crazy. Man, he's punting on my

2933
02:27:04,480 --> 02:27:07,000
Speaker 4: fourth and two's at midfield when you're down by multiple

2934
02:27:07,080 --> 02:27:12,560
Speaker 4: touchdowns in the fourth quarter. But anyway, I did bet Georgia. Again.

2935
02:27:12,560 --> 02:27:14,360
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a bad number by any stretch,

2936
02:27:14,680 --> 02:27:18,520
Speaker 4: but I think Georgia will win a close game here

2937
02:27:19,120 --> 02:27:23,160
Speaker 4: because again, to me, I just think any I guess

2938
02:27:23,240 --> 02:27:25,840
Speaker 4: maybe I'm being summer. I just think that the I don't.

2939
02:27:26,560 --> 02:27:28,959
Speaker 4: I think that the quarterback was holding them back all year,

2940
02:27:29,160 --> 02:27:32,400
Speaker 4: and I actually trust them a little bit more on

2941
02:27:32,400 --> 02:27:34,120
Speaker 4: I trust start naming to score a few more points there,

2942
02:27:34,160 --> 02:27:34,320
Speaker 4: I do.

2943
02:27:34,800 --> 02:27:37,680
Speaker 3: All right, let's say the big the best game for

2944
02:27:37,800 --> 02:27:39,200
Speaker 3: last fits. You can talk about that.

2945
02:27:39,320 --> 02:27:47,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, the two mismatches, Yeah, either of Boise or Arizona

2946
02:27:47,320 --> 02:27:49,080
Speaker 2: State and have a chance to keep it close or

2947
02:27:49,120 --> 02:27:50,000
Speaker 2: which one does the best?

2948
02:27:50,520 --> 02:27:53,760
Speaker 4: Listen, I do think that that of the two, I

2949
02:27:53,879 --> 02:27:55,960
Speaker 4: think Boise has the much better chance to keep me

2950
02:27:56,040 --> 02:27:58,760
Speaker 4: a close anthy, Look, I'll be on the Penn State.

2951
02:27:58,840 --> 02:28:03,360
Speaker 4: To me, look, I think they're a solid team, don't

2952
02:28:03,360 --> 02:28:05,160
Speaker 4: get me wrong. And again I call this tournament to

2953
02:28:05,240 --> 02:28:09,680
Speaker 4: James Franklin Invitational because I'm pretty convinced that James Franklin

2954
02:28:09,760 --> 02:28:12,680
Speaker 4: was the one who set these playoffs up because he

2955
02:28:12,840 --> 02:28:15,280
Speaker 4: got a draw of all draws, and I don't know

2956
02:28:15,360 --> 02:28:16,840
Speaker 4: how he was able to do it, but this was

2957
02:28:16,920 --> 02:28:21,560
Speaker 4: the all time draw for Penn State. But I actually,

2958
02:28:22,480 --> 02:28:24,280
Speaker 4: you know, when I look, I watched Penn State play

2959
02:28:24,320 --> 02:28:26,560
Speaker 4: again all their games this year. This is the team

2960
02:28:26,640 --> 02:28:30,400
Speaker 4: that's I mean they, I mean they're not some unbeatable

2961
02:28:30,440 --> 02:28:32,320
Speaker 4: team either. Just like was he have me? Three weeks

2962
02:28:32,320 --> 02:28:37,760
Speaker 4: ago fifty Minnesota lost to them by a point. Minnesota, Yeah, uh,

2963
02:28:37,920 --> 02:28:40,720
Speaker 4: and I and I certainly think Boise, as crazy as

2964
02:28:40,760 --> 02:28:43,520
Speaker 4: he is, theoretically better than Minnesota. Maybe I'm not saying

2965
02:28:43,560 --> 02:28:48,080
Speaker 4: by a ton, but I I don't think Penn I

2966
02:28:48,200 --> 02:28:51,240
Speaker 4: watched again, going back in time, watching the Penn State

2967
02:28:51,400 --> 02:28:55,840
Speaker 4: USC game in USC completely outplayed them and lost. I

2968
02:28:55,920 --> 02:28:58,720
Speaker 4: don't think Penn State's that great. I don't. I think

2969
02:28:58,760 --> 02:29:00,800
Speaker 4: they're a solid team. I think are a good team,

2970
02:29:02,280 --> 02:29:04,160
Speaker 4: but I don't think they're a team. Again, we talk

2971
02:29:04,240 --> 02:29:06,560
Speaker 4: about teams with margin that they did do it against SMU,

2972
02:29:07,040 --> 02:29:09,240
Speaker 4: but again, I think part of that was you were

2973
02:29:09,959 --> 02:29:12,120
Speaker 4: a cold weather team against a team that had no

2974
02:29:12,240 --> 02:29:14,680
Speaker 4: interest in playing them. The cold in that game, or

2975
02:29:14,720 --> 02:29:19,000
Speaker 4: they absolutely traunged SMU. I will say that if the

2976
02:29:19,080 --> 02:29:22,560
Speaker 4: game had played in the warm weather atmosphere, I just

2977
02:29:22,600 --> 02:29:25,320
Speaker 4: felt like every possible thing in the world win against

2978
02:29:25,440 --> 02:29:28,040
Speaker 4: SMU in that game, to make that game probably a

2979
02:29:28,080 --> 02:29:31,240
Speaker 4: lot more deceiving than it really could have been if

2980
02:29:31,240 --> 02:29:33,640
Speaker 4: it was played in a different climate. I think with

2981
02:29:34,520 --> 02:29:36,480
Speaker 4: the running game that Boise he has, I think they

2982
02:29:36,520 --> 02:29:39,000
Speaker 4: can keep this game close. I do eleven points to me,

2983
02:29:39,040 --> 02:29:42,080
Speaker 4: it's just a little bit too high. Out of those

2984
02:29:42,080 --> 02:29:44,160
Speaker 4: two games, I think I actually do like the boys

2985
02:29:44,240 --> 02:29:46,560
Speaker 4: sid I did that Boise. I think they do keep

2986
02:29:46,600 --> 02:29:50,160
Speaker 4: it less than eleven the other game. I definitely think

2987
02:29:50,200 --> 02:29:53,560
Speaker 4: Texas is a totally different class than ASU. But again,

2988
02:29:53,680 --> 02:29:56,880
Speaker 4: fourteen points, guys, I have no interest, no interest in

2989
02:29:56,959 --> 02:29:59,480
Speaker 4: laying fourteen points in any of these kind of games

2990
02:29:59,480 --> 02:30:03,280
Speaker 4: because I at all year, I don't think any team Georgia,

2991
02:30:03,440 --> 02:30:08,200
Speaker 4: Notre Dame, Texas, Oregon, Ohio State, I don't think any

2992
02:30:08,200 --> 02:30:11,960
Speaker 4: of these teams merits being like a fourteen point favorite,

2993
02:30:12,240 --> 02:30:13,920
Speaker 4: because I think any of these teams can be beaten

2994
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:15,760
Speaker 4: that thing on any giving Sunday in this case, any

2995
02:30:15,760 --> 02:30:17,640
Speaker 4: given Saturday or whatever. Yeah, I think any of these

2996
02:30:17,720 --> 02:30:20,920
Speaker 4: teams can be beaten, so to me, my side would

2997
02:30:20,920 --> 02:30:23,200
Speaker 4: actually still be ASU, but I'm not betting it. And

2998
02:30:23,240 --> 02:30:25,280
Speaker 4: out of the two, I definitely for Poise.

2999
02:30:25,680 --> 02:30:27,520
Speaker 3: All right, we got We're up against it real quick,

3000
02:30:28,160 --> 02:30:29,680
Speaker 3: Ohio State Oregon.

3001
02:30:29,840 --> 02:30:31,640
Speaker 4: I like the over, like the over. That's how I

3002
02:30:31,760 --> 02:30:35,800
Speaker 4: bet this game. Lean Oregon, Lean Oregon, especially if you

3003
02:30:35,840 --> 02:30:38,480
Speaker 4: can get a three. Because think I made this game

3004
02:30:38,560 --> 02:30:40,720
Speaker 4: of pick. I did two and a half two to

3005
02:30:40,800 --> 02:30:43,400
Speaker 4: the over, but I like over fifty five points. I

3006
02:30:43,480 --> 02:30:47,840
Speaker 4: think both teams get mid you know, at least mid twenties.

3007
02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:49,720
Speaker 4: I really believe. I think both teams get to thirty.

3008
02:30:49,720 --> 02:30:51,880
Speaker 4: I think this is going to be a great game,

3009
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:54,359
Speaker 4: and I think both offenses will have a lot of success.

3010
02:30:54,400 --> 02:30:56,680
Speaker 4: I see no reasons why either defense is going to

3011
02:30:56,760 --> 02:30:59,160
Speaker 4: really slow down either offense. Here again, I think that

3012
02:30:59,280 --> 02:31:00,879
Speaker 4: they played this all.

3013
02:31:00,840 --> 02:31:05,000
Speaker 2: Right, love it anything else? Bowl games or NFL tomorrow.

3014
02:31:05,600 --> 02:31:08,360
Speaker 4: And again, yeah, I listen, guys, I I believe in

3015
02:31:08,440 --> 02:31:11,960
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings. I think they are better in every

3016
02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:16,560
Speaker 4: aspect in Green Bay offense, defense, coaching every single aspect

3017
02:31:16,720 --> 02:31:19,760
Speaker 4: at home. Now laying a point, I don't understand that line.

3018
02:31:19,800 --> 02:31:22,480
Speaker 4: I think I should have been posted at least two

3019
02:31:22,520 --> 02:31:25,080
Speaker 4: and a half, and I think I have the better

3020
02:31:25,160 --> 02:31:26,560
Speaker 4: team at home that they just have to win the

3021
02:31:26,600 --> 02:31:28,160
Speaker 4: game and take my chances with the Blakers.

3022
02:31:28,480 --> 02:31:30,280
Speaker 3: There you go. Good luck to you, my brother.

3023
02:31:30,520 --> 02:31:31,800
