Speaker 1: Instant reaction twenty nineteen Cowboys win Strange Lions looked like
Speaker 1: they had a walkoff two point conversion or close to
Speaker 1: a walkoff nullified. Then the Cowboys commit a penalty and
Speaker 1: then the Lions. I would have kicked the pat and
Speaker 1: get it to overtime. Dallas. You know, I've come to
Speaker 1: the conclusion. What we watched tonight, strange game. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: yards of offense, both teams averaged almost six and a
Speaker 1: half yards of play, and it was twenty to nineteen.
Speaker 1: So I thought it was going to be a shootout.
Speaker 1: The yards would indicate and the yards per play would
Speaker 1: indicate it was a shootout. But you have a fumble
Speaker 1: by Ceedee Lamb near the goal line. You know, little
Speaker 1: miscues here and there. I think, what we watched tonight.
Speaker 1: Beyond a strange game was two good teams. Neither a team,
Speaker 1: to me, is good enough to go on the road
Speaker 1: and win a big playoff game. Although I'll tell you
Speaker 1: I thought about this tonight, I think I like Detroit
Speaker 1: more than Dallas. One of the reasons I like Michigan
Speaker 1: to win the National Championship is because I've watched Texas, Washington,
Speaker 1: and Alabama each play at least five times. I've watched
Speaker 1: Michigan play pribably seven. Every time I watched Michigan play,
Speaker 1: I get the exact same game. Alabama's offense is hit
Speaker 1: and miss. Washington's defense is hit and miss. Texas both
Speaker 1: sides hit and miss. I get the same performance every
Speaker 1: time from Michigan. When I watched the Detroit Lions, there
Speaker 1: are things they consistently do. They consistently have two good
Speaker 1: running backs. Gibbs is boy. He is special. He may
Speaker 1: not be Adrian Peterson is a rookie, but that guy
Speaker 1: is special. Jamier Gibbs he just doesn't look like a
Speaker 1: lot of other running backs. He's not Christian McCaffrey yet,
Speaker 1: but he has a burst and strength and quickness that
Speaker 1: is different. I get explosiveness out of the backfield. With Detroit,
Speaker 1: I get a veteran quarterback generally with time to throw
Speaker 1: who's accurate. I get the best rookie tight end in
Speaker 1: a long time, and I get a good pass rush.
Speaker 1: They have flaws, but I know what I'm getting with
Speaker 1: Detroit and some of those things. Travel well, a run game,
Speaker 1: a great old line. I kind of know what I get.
Speaker 1: I also get a very very risk, comfortable head coach.
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know Dan Campbell. He's the most
Speaker 1: aggressive coach in the league. So aggressive coach, run game,
Speaker 1: pass protection, great tight end. I feel like I get
Speaker 1: that every game with Detroit, win or lose. They're better
Speaker 1: at home than on the road. But they could have
Speaker 1: won this game tonight. I just I think both of
Speaker 1: these are good teams. Dallas is the opposite of Michigan football,
Speaker 1: and they don't give me the consistency of Detroit. They
Speaker 1: can't run the ball now. I mean, it's just the
Speaker 1: offensive line's gotten worse. It's banged up. They can't run
Speaker 1: the ball. I had said I pled with Dallas at
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. Go get Derrick Henry, Go get a
Speaker 1: power back, Go get a number one. Don't get a
Speaker 1: guy you have to pay a forts and two for years.
Speaker 1: Go get Derrick Henry for a year. Give up a
Speaker 1: couple of picks, maybe a year and a half. Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard to two. I mean tonight, he was the third
Speaker 1: best running back in the game. I mean Montgomery Gibbs
Speaker 1: than Tony Pollard. So you're just talking about a very
Speaker 1: very You know, he's a number three starter. He's not
Speaker 1: even a number two starter in Major League Baseball. He's
Speaker 1: a three. So Tony Pollard was a nice change of
Speaker 1: pace when Zeke was closer to his prime. He's just
Speaker 1: a guy, and he doesn't look like he's got quite
Speaker 1: the burst. He certainly doesn't have the burst of Jamiir Gibbs.
Speaker 1: Forget it, different class or running back. I also, the
Speaker 1: past protection for Dallas is usually good. It was spotty tonight.
Speaker 1: But the only thing I know I get with Dallas
Speaker 1: is Ceedee Lamb is a terrific top five six receiver
Speaker 1: in the league that I know. But even the secondary
Speaker 1: they get Torch drawn Bland. Come on. I mean's he
Speaker 1: is fun, he can play, takes big swings, but he
Speaker 1: gets burned too. He's not a top five corner in
Speaker 1: the league. He I can't trust him. And Micah Parsons
Speaker 1: is a great athlete and Ceedee Lamb is a tremendous receiver.
Speaker 1: But Dak's hot and cold, and Dak needs come on
Speaker 1: at this point in his career. Detroit's got one time
Speaker 1: out left, there's under two minutes, and Dak's flinging it
Speaker 1: out of bounds. What are you doing? Come on, Dak?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing with Mike McCarthy. None of
Speaker 1: us trust him situationally. I think Mike's a good coach,
Speaker 1: but we don't trust him situationally. But Dak's got to
Speaker 1: pick that up. Can't be in this league for it
Speaker 1: mean just certain things. I don't care if you're a
Speaker 1: trial attorney. I don't care if you're a landscape or
Speaker 1: a quarterback. There's certain things you know right like you
Speaker 1: don't you just don't. You don't throw it away and
Speaker 1: stop the clock for Detroit when they got one time
Speaker 1: out left and they have to drive down the field.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? So if you told me Dallas
Speaker 1: or Detroit right now to win a playoff game, to
Speaker 1: win two playoff games, don't know if either will, but
Speaker 1: I would take Detroit. It's the same reason I like
Speaker 1: Michigan to win the Natty. When you get into the postseason,
Speaker 1: what do you consistently deliver? You're going to have to
Speaker 1: lean on that stuff. Man. I don't know what Dallas
Speaker 1: gives me beyond an unbelievable receiver and an unbelievable pass
Speaker 1: rusher in Micah Parsons. That's just personnel. But what do
Speaker 1: they give you? Do they give you great first halfs?
Speaker 1: Do they give you a great run game? Do they
Speaker 1: give you dependability in the clutch? They? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't check any of those boxes. They're lucky to They
Speaker 1: should have lost that football game Detroit. Apparently a Lion's
Speaker 1: offensive lineman didn't check himself into the game. Although there
Speaker 1: seemed to be some dispute on the Lion's sideline, they
Speaker 1: were pissed. They were angry, as if they'd done it right.
Speaker 1: Seems to me, I agree with Troy Aikman. If you're
Speaker 1: going to run that play at that time, you're gonna
Speaker 1: check with the officials. Don't love that call deciding the game.
Speaker 1: I've really lost. I got sucked in by Dallas twenty
Speaker 1: five years. I didn't buy it. They reeled me in,
Speaker 1: you know, about week ten through about week thirteen, they
Speaker 1: reeled me in and they are day I feel like
Speaker 1: I get less consistency every week. Hey, everybody gets fooled
Speaker 1: once in a while. I've been fooled by. I don't
Speaker 1: think Dallas can win two playoff games, not two road
Speaker 1: playoff games. Just can't. Just don't trust them. Detroit's got
Speaker 1: a division title, They'll get a home playoff game. My
Speaker 1: guess is they'll win it, even if it's the hot
Speaker 1: Rams and I could see Detroit. Philadelphia is not consistent
Speaker 1: enough offensively, has some holes in the back end. You know,
Speaker 1: there are worse things in the world than the Lions
Speaker 1: getting to the NFC Championship. I want to say this
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Johnson getting into the Ring of Honor. You
Speaker 1: know there's there's an understanding at Fox Sports. I don't
Speaker 1: think this is a big secret that on on the
Speaker 1: Terry Jay Glazer, Howie, Michael Strahan, Kurt Menefee, Jimmy Johnson's
Speaker 1: Sunday Show that Jimmy wants a coach. Ola was a coach.
Speaker 1: Is really the glue that holds that show together that
Speaker 1: you know he's on the set. He kind of organizes
Speaker 1: all of it, and you could see him take you know,
Speaker 1: the field tonight in the microphone, and you know, he's
Speaker 1: the man of the moment. He's very good at that.
Speaker 1: I've been at a two or three dinners with Jimmy
Speaker 1: Johnson and the fellas. He kind of takes control of
Speaker 1: the room. That's what coaches do. You know, Jimmy isn't
Speaker 1: a really rarefied class dominated college and dominated the NFL.
Speaker 1: There's just not a lot of Jimmy's out there. I mean,
Speaker 1: most of these college coaches, even the great one Spurry
Speaker 1: or Saban Urban, it just doesn't work. Pete Carroll dominated
Speaker 1: college football for a few years. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: ever dominated the NFL, but he's certainly a good high
Speaker 1: end NFL coach. But Jimmy's very unique. And when I
Speaker 1: used to work on the Sunday Show, Jimmy was always
Speaker 1: the first to arrive. I had to arrive because my
Speaker 1: show was on an earlier by an hour than him,
Speaker 1: So I would get in early, our crew got in early,
Speaker 1: and Jimmy would be there by himself. He'd walk from
Speaker 1: the hotel in the wee hours of the morning, always
Speaker 1: the first to arrive, and I after putting makeup on it, prepping.
Speaker 1: I'd go in and have about ten minutes and I
Speaker 1: just pepper in with questions and just always had great stories.
Speaker 1: Some I can repeat, some I can't. Any question you
Speaker 1: had about football. He was like a mentor, and I
Speaker 1: always appreciate that. I always appreciate, you know, when they
Speaker 1: take time. I'm in paint of the butt. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure out football and football philosophies.
Speaker 1: So Jimmy could tell you everything from recruiting highs school players.
Speaker 1: I think he would have been great in the transfer
Speaker 1: portal NFL. We talk about position coaches hardest to find,
Speaker 1: easiest to find, you know, and Jimmy always said every
Speaker 1: time I'd asked Jimmy, most important thing when you're drafting players,
Speaker 1: he said it if I asked him ten times. Smart intelligence.
Speaker 1: If a guy can't learn the playbook and repeatedly makes
Speaker 1: the same mistakes, it doesn't matter how athletic they are,
Speaker 1: how talented. You got to get guys who are smart,
Speaker 1: work hard, head down, love the game, coachable week to week.
Speaker 1: You can add assignments, and I think this cowboy team
Speaker 1: would drive him nuts. I think Dak thrown it out
Speaker 1: of bounds, like, come on, Dak, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: You're better than that. You know, It's just one of
Speaker 1: the reasons you could trust to Jimmy team. You know,
Speaker 1: they were physical, they were punishing, but they were really
Speaker 1: good situationally, and boy, I worry about the Cowboys and that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, tip of the cap, Jimmy long overdue in
Speaker 1: the Ring of Honor for the Dallas Cowboys. Speaking of that,
Speaker 1: some thoughts on the transfer portal. People, you know, Florida State,
Speaker 1: Ohio State, all these teams losing players at the transfer portal,
Speaker 1: take a deep breath. College football will look completely different
Speaker 1: next year. This was the last year of the old
Speaker 1: college football twelve team playoff, expanded Big ten, expanded SEC.
Speaker 1: It's going to look different. You're not going to see
Speaker 1: as many quarterbacks transferring out of these big programs because
Speaker 1: they're going to be in the playoffs. Ohio State's quarterback
Speaker 1: would not transfer out before a bowl game because he
Speaker 1: would be in a twelve team playoff, and NFL scouts
Speaker 1: would That would be a highly highly questioned move if
Speaker 1: you're going to the playoff for a national championship and
Speaker 1: you transferred out, so you're not going to have that.
Speaker 1: So now you know this year, some of these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: are like, what's the point I'm playing in the Liberty
Speaker 1: Bowl or the Cotton Bowl. It's not going to be
Speaker 1: like that. And these bowl games are overwrought anyway. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest, about about eight ten years ago, we got
Speaker 1: to a point where nobody watches half these bowl games.
Speaker 1: Nobody goes to three quarters of these bowl games. And
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. TV networks run this sport. They
Speaker 1: can't make money on these bull games. You know, when
Speaker 1: I first got to Fox, Larry Jones, who's now retired,
Speaker 1: he was our kind of chief negotiator for the company.
Speaker 1: We were talking one time and I said, you know,
Speaker 1: our college slate, we only got like one bowl game here.
Speaker 1: I think it was a Holiday Bowl. I'm not even
Speaker 1: sure if we had it. At the time, I said,
Speaker 1: why don't you guys had the Sun Bowl and a
Speaker 1: couple others and go after some bull games? And he said,
Speaker 1: they don't make any money. So once once something doesn't
Speaker 1: make any money for a sports network, you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: gonna lean to stuff that makes money, like the expansion
Speaker 1: of the Big Ten and a twelve team Playoff and
Speaker 1: the expansion of the SEC networks are the reason we're
Speaker 1: expanding in that direction is that bull games were dying anyway. Networks.
Speaker 1: You know, you had two or three that were break
Speaker 1: even ventures, maybe six, but most the networks aren't making
Speaker 1: big money on these bowl games. They're paying a lot
Speaker 1: for them. There's only so many ad spaces available bowl games.
Speaker 1: I see. The ratings had been ticking down for years
Speaker 1: being less relevant, and this is the last year of it.
Speaker 1: Next year, college football, if it's a stock, buy it.
Speaker 1: The Big ten is going to take over college football
Speaker 1: because they have so many different time zones. You'll be
Speaker 1: able to put a Penn State game on at nine
Speaker 1: in the morning Pacific, you know, Wisconsin playing a pac
Speaker 1: twelve school, at noon Pacific, at three or four Pacific,
Speaker 1: you could have the Huskies hosting Michigan, and at night
Speaker 1: you could have you know whoever, Michigan State playing UCLA
Speaker 1: in the Rose Bowl. You're gonna have four different games
Speaker 1: on because of all the time zones. Whereas the SEC
Speaker 1: a lot of those games, the majority of those games
Speaker 1: are in one time zone, the Eastern time zone, so
Speaker 1: they cannibalize each other. Georgia Texas Vama can all be
Speaker 1: playing at the same time, same time zone. So the
Speaker 1: expansion of the Big Ten is going to change the landscape.
Speaker 1: The Big Ten now is going to get much more coverage,
Speaker 1: much more discussion, much more eyeballs. With the addition of
Speaker 1: the LA Market two schools, Seattle and the Oregon Ducks,
Speaker 1: it's going to be something to behold. And you know,
Speaker 1: the last year of anything, I don't care if it's
Speaker 1: the last year of a sitcom, the last year of
Speaker 1: a company, the last year of anything, a marriage, it's bumpy.
Speaker 1: This was just an ugly ending and inevitable ending to
Speaker 1: college football's past. Now we're moving to twelve teams, explosion
Speaker 1: growth of the Big Ten in the SEC, and it's
Speaker 1: going to be absolutely long overdue and fantastic. I can't
Speaker 1: wait the volume. Listen. We've all had fender benders in
Speaker 1: our life. Sometimes it's even more serious. People between the
Speaker 1: ages of twenty five and thirty four, in fact, have
Speaker 1: the highest amount of drivers involved in car crashes. Be careful,
