Speaker 3: Coming up on the show tonight special edition, why because

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 3: Petros Papadakis will be joining us here and that's always fun.

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 4: He's our college football.

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 3: Expert and we've been hanging out with him all week

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 3: long and now you guys get to get his opinions, yeah.

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: On everything that's going on with the college football playoff rankings,

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: and there's a lot just college football news in general. Obviously,

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: the hiring of Matt Campbell away from Iowa State going

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: to Penn State. Nobody seemed to want that job until

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: Matt Campbell jumped in and scrambled towards it for an

18
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: eight year contracts. So we'll talk to the op about that.

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: I'll probably mention that a little bit coming up on

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: the second segment of the show as well. We also

21
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: have the NFL six Pack to get into big week

22
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: of a lot of big pivotal matchups in the National

23
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: Football League to get to as well.

24
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: Two on two off in the back end of this

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: hour Stranger than fiction, we got it for you involving animals.

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: But as we always do well, first off, here for.

27
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: You go time that's wrong.

28
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 3: Speaking of animals, the Lions would get the victory over

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys in a pseudo playoff game on Thursday

30
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: Night Football, which turned out to be a pretty good

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: game considering Dallas gave it a run at the end before.

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: Was that Sonic or Knuckles who put the game away

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: for the Detroit Lions.

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: I would imagine that Jamiir First of all, Jamier Gibbs

35
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: can be sonic and knuckles and throwing tails at the

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: same time. He can be whatever the hell you want

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: them to be. I heard this stat yesterday. So he

38
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: is tied with Barry Sanders for the most touchdown runs

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: for a career at the age of twenty four. Seems good, yeah,

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: which is he's had scored more touchdowns faster than Emmitt

41
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Smith at the same age.

42
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: Well, probably a better offensive line than Barry Sanders had

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: to work with in Detroit.

44
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: I would say better offensive line than Emmitt Smith.

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: Though, no, not quite No, No, Emmitt Smith. Look, we're

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: not saying he was a fraud here, he's one of

47
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: the greatest.

48
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: The most nyer fraud.

49
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: I've never the people who say that they throw disrespect

50
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: to Mmit Smith's name and say that he wasn't a great.

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: Player, Like those are Cardinals fans. They didn't get the

52
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: real ms.

53
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: Let me throw you back to was it the ninety

54
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: four or ninety five season when Emmitt Smith held out

55
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 2: and missed the first three games of the year and

56
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: they couldn't run the ball a lick?

57
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: What about offense? A broken collarbone? Yeah, and ran for

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: like two hundred yards or whatever.

59
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: You know, if the if the offensive line was so

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: dominant and it didn't matter, why couldn't the Cowboys run

61
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: the ball at all when Emmitt Smith wasn't there?

62
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: This is fair.

63
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: It wasn't a Denver Broncos situation where you plug.

64
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: In Mike Anderson. I think it was in Orlanda's Gary

65
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 4: keep going now.

66
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: I am not disrespecting Terrell Davis either, because he's one

67
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 3: of my favorite running backs and I did think he

68
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: belonged in the Hall of Fame, and he eventually got in,

69
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: but they were doing a lot of cut blocking, and

70
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: well those Denver Broncos offensive lines, they could open up

71
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: holes for just about any of it.

72
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: Well, look if it was legal at the time, you

73
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: know it was.

74
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: I mean, what did Mark Schlare say that they used

75
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 3: to put on themselves just like vasoline up like diddy

76
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: baby oil? Like what what did they use back then?

77
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: So no defensive line could get by him. I just

78
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: just flopping all over the place. I don't know if

79
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: this is true, but I feel like it is. So

80
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: you know that Mark Schlere's nickname is stink. Do you

81
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: know why that is? No, I'd like to because he did.

82
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: He wasn't very the most hygienic player when he was

83
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: out there on the field, very purposefully.

84
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: Oh you don't want to be?

85
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

86
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: Yes, And when I pancake you and stand over you, you're

87
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: really gonna smell this?

88
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: Yes, So I haven't forbid I use you as a

89
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: whoopy cushion the bottom of a pile.

90
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 5: Like.

91
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: Those are interesting tactics, but they were effective at the time.

92
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Troit lines jump out to a huge

93
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: lead against the Cowboys, and now, as you mentioned, Dallas

94
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: did battle back and make a little bit of the

95
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: game of it, but just shot themselves in the foot

96
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: a little bit too much. Three turnovers, losing Ceede Lamb

97
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: by the way, huge because he was having a humongous

98
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: game before he left with the concussion. So you can't

99
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: discount that.

100
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: They had to settle for too many field goals when

101
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions were cooking with touchdowns out there. That

102
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: was a big differentiator to me. But this is also

103
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: kind of a leveling type of game where you find

104
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: out where you are a measuring stick contest. The Lions

105
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: are just better. Dallas has gotten better. Yes, the defense

106
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: has been better. They still put up forty on them

107
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: and this was a must win game, you felt like

108
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: for both teams with playoff implications on the line.

109
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really was.

110
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: And Detroit and fock for people who and look, you're

111
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: not the only one, Adam who said this last week

112
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: about their championship window potentially closing. Our colleagues here at

113
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Rob Parker set this a couple of

114
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: weeks ago.

115
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: Our Jeff Schwartz say this earlier this week.

116
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna still act like I was the first.

117
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 6: That's fine.

118
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that there was a narrative that's been

119
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: thrown around out there that the Detroit Lions window to

120
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: compete for titles has closed, And I'll be honest with you,

121
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's closed this year. Like,

122
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: is there anybody in the NFC that really scares you

123
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: as much as we like the Rams? Well, look what

124
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: happened to them against Carol last week. I mean, damn straight,

125
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: So everybody that's in the playoff field at this point

126
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: in time, I would even go to the AFC as

127
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: good as New England looks, I don't know if I

128
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: would necessarily say that they're unbeatable at this point. So

129
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: consider all the talent that the Detroit Lions have. I mean, look,

130
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at just look at their roster. Forget that,

131
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: but the coordinators and by the way, people talk about

132
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: losing Ben Johnson and how big of a deal that was.

133
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: They have the number one offense in the league last year,

134
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: their third this year. It's not like has missed some

135
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: giant drop off or anything. If anything, it's been defensively.

136
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: They were I believe fifth in the league in total

137
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: defense last year and they've dropped to like sixteenth or

138
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: seventeenth this year. So if anything, they're probably missing Aaron

139
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: Glynn more than they're missing Ben Johnson.

140
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: Well, to your point of the field being wide open

141
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: when they had all the advantages being the number one

142
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: seed in the NFC last season, they blew it.

143
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: There's context and there always is, so this is what

144
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: people talk about. So two years ago they went to

145
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game in San Francisco, had a lead

146
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: at halftime and lost. You can chalk it up to

147
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: not having a lot of playoff experience. Fine, go to

148
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: last season records in the NFC. They were limping into

149
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: the postseason. It was a mass unit on defense. I

150
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: contend I think I said this, I may have been

151
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: doing a show with either Jason Fitz or Anthony Gargano

152
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. If their defense was healthy,

153
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: I think they beat Washington last year. Washington ran up

154
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 2: and down the field on them because their defense was unrecognizable.

155
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: All their best players got hurt the last third of

156
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: the season.

157
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: But Golf still had three or four picks in that game.

158
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: No, he did, but it still was what forty five

159
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: to thirty or forty five to twenty eight, something like.

160
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: That it was within striking distance. For how much the

161
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 3: score wasn't indicative of how close the game was.

162
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: Context needs to be added when you talk about why

163
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: teams lose in certain situations, you're right. And I'm looking

164
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: at Jared Golf who's still in the probably in his

165
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: prime at this point in time, and he's better than

166
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: an above average quarterback.

167
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: I'd say he's a good starting NFL quarterback.

168
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: Amarasse Brown is in his fifth year, He's twenty six

169
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: years old and is one of the best receivers in

170
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: the league.

171
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 4: Sam Laporta, who was hurt, one of the best tight

172
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: ends in the league.

173
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams fourth year in one of the better young

174
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: receivers who's still on the on the come we just

175
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: talked about. Jamir Gibbs already in what year two three

176
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: is one of the best players offensive in the league,

177
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: regardless of position. You got Pinn Sewell at left tackle,

178
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: All Pro, one of the best offensive linemen in the league.

179
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Is just locked up.

180
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: Aiden Hudgson, one of the best defensive ends in the league.

181
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: Jack Campbell, who had a great game the other night,

182
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: is also an All Pro at linebacker.

183
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 4: And when you say all that, how are they only

184
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: seven and five? Well, look, this is this happens that

185
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: this happens sometimes too.

186
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: I mean, they have had some inconsistencies this year, like

187
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: a lot of teams have.

188
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: And the division is fantastic because we didn't see the

189
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: Bears being this good incremental improvements with bringing in Ben Johnson,

190
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: I didn't think they'd be at the top of the

191
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: division like this. Where I was going with that though,

192
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: is they had everything in their favor last season and

193
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: it didn't work out for them with the number one

194
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: seed because the injuries.

195
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the injuries are big.

196
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: Everything going in their favor until that happened, and that

197
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: can't be discounted.

198
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, maybe they'll actually be more battle tested

199
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: because they've had to start early with these pseudo type

200
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: of fake playoff games going on where their backs were

201
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: against the wall earlier in the season and they have

202
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: to win.

203
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: That's where I was going to go.

204
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: I said, I think the fact that they actually have

205
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: that playoff experience under their belt and now they're playing

206
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: games that they have to win late in the season here,

207
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: I think it could actually end up working in their favor.

208
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: Well, not just games primetime games against other teams who

209
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: were desperate to win, and they still won that game

210
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: against Dallas, who's been playing very well. Their record doesn't

211
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: tell you how good they've been playing over the last

212
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: few weeks.

213
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 4: Not in the least.

214
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: And if you look at Detroit their next game against

215
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: the Rams, I'm surprised that one is not in prime

216
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: time that's gonna be at so far, that's another pseudo

217
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: playoff game.

218
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 4: Where's the flex where's the flex at? That's a good question.

219
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: One game get flexed recently?

220
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: It did?

221
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: Didn't that happen?

222
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: It did?

223
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: Thursday night game got flex?

224
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: I mean, forget exactly which matchup it was, Beya, Bree

225
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: can look into that one for us. I forget exactly

226
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: what it was.

227
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 4: FlexIt please.

228
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: But that's a huge measuring stick game for Detroit going

229
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: AGAINSTO Los Angeles to see exactly where they measure up

230
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: against the Rams.

231
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 4: I think that's going to be a huge one next week.

232
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,479
Speaker 3: Well, And I would say this for the Dallas Cowboys,

233
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: last night or Thursday night is not the game that

234
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 3: killed them. That's not the game that was always going

235
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: to be a tough game. It's earlier in the season.

236
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: It's a loss to the Panthers, it's a loss to

237
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: the Cardinals.

238
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: Those are the.

239
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: Games you look back upon and say, we let one

240
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: get over.

241
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: We could even say the Bears game where the Bears

242
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: were still early in the seasons kind of figuring things out,

243
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: and really their first breakout performance was against Dallas. It

244
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 2: was kind of a stepping was that week two or

245
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: three of the season or something like that. So when

246
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: people say, and you hear about this in the NBA

247
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: a lot too, or even in Major League Baseball, a

248
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: lot of these early season games you're feeling it out.

249
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't necessarily matter. Every game matters, you.

250
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: Know, thought I was talking to somebody about the NBA.

251
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: There was about the Lakers last year and how they

252
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: finished with a third seed and you know where they're

253
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: going to finish this year.

254
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. Just get in.

255
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: That was like the difference between the third seed and

256
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: the ninth seed last year and the Western Conference was

257
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: two games. So a random loss on a Tuesday night

258
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: in December against Atlanta matters. It could end up mattering

259
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: when it's all said and done. There are no games

260
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 2: that you can just give away.

261
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: And in particular, while the NFL has had wild card

262
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 3: teams go in and get hot at the end of

263
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: the season and win it all. Hasn't had a team

264
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: that wasn't top three win the championship since the ninety

265
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: five Rockets, and they had won the year before, so

266
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: that was kind of a fluky thing. Anyways, There's been

267
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: two teams ever that have won the NBA Championship that

268
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: weren't top three seeds. So it definitely matters where you're

269
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: ranked now.

270
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously the sample size is much smaller in

271
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: the NFL. You have fewer games to work with, so

272
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: every game is much more important. But yeah, you can't

273
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: afford to give games away early in the season because

274
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 2: now you finders because look, if you win those two

275
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: games and now all of a sudden, you're what eight

276
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: and six or seven and six, whatever it is at

277
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: this point, and you have a little bit more breathing room.

278
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: Now, do you think the Dallas Cowboys are done after

279
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: this game?

280
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: No, because the way the Philadelphia Eagles are playing does

281
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: not inspire confidence. And if the Eagles find a way

282
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: to lose on Monday Night to the Chargers, which I

283
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: think is very possible, we're in the same situation we

284
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: were going into Thursday night. The Eagles have a one

285
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: game lead in the division over the Cowboys with what

286
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: four games left on the schedule.

287
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: So they dropped from like what a fifty percent chance

288
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 3: if they won that game to a nine percent chance

289
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,359
Speaker 3: or a seven percent chance to make the playoffs.

290
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: Losing it not in their favor.

291
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: Basically, they probably have to win out and the Eagles

292
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: would have to lose two of the last four games.

293
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 4: So it's not likely to happen, but it's possible.

294
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: Right again, based on how Dallas has looked the last

295
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: four weeks save for Thursday night, and how Philly has

296
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: looked really all season long, but especially the last three weeks,

297
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: I'm not good.

298
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: I can't say with full on.

299
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: Confidence, Yeah, the Dallas is done and the Philadelphia Eagles

300
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: have the NFC East locked up.

301
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: I have to say the one ad I've done with

302
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott this season because of not just his play

303
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: but his leadership, I forgot how much I like him

304
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: just as a guy. Like as much as people have

305
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: hated the Dallas Cowboys over the last fifty years, I

306
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: don't hate their last two quarterbacks at all. I find

307
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: them extremely likable. Between him and Tony Romo.

308
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: Romo talks a little bit too much for me on

309
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: the TV broadcast with it. Sorry, okay, But back when

310
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: he was playing I loved him.

311
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I was the last one to buy into Dak Prescott,

312
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: even though he was having that outstanding rookie season.

313
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: I was like, no, you know what you have with him?

314
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: And then he got in for some garbage time touchdown

315
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: against the Jaguars in that regular season and mop up time,

316
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: and I was like.

317
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: No, stick with Romo.

318
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: Stick with him, and we'll never know what would have

319
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: happened Dak Prescott. It looked like he had regressed to

320
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: some degree this season. Though he's been outstanding. He's still

321
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: in his prime. He can win a Super Bowl with

322
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: the right makeup around him, with the right construction around

323
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: him roster wise.

324
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Now we talk about that roster construction, and a godsend

325
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: for that team has been George Pickens. He's been amazing

326
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: for them all season long. But he was a source

327
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: of some controversy on Thursday night because after Ceedee Lamb

328
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: went out, he became the number one option. And this

329
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: has happened. See he missed the game earlier this year

330
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: and Pickens was the number one option, and he was phenomenal.

331
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: But there have been issues with Ceedee Lamb going back

332
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: to his days in Pittsburgh, which is, by the way,

333
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 2: the reason why he's not in Pittsburgh. Some off field issues,

334
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: some effort issues. Even this year, Brian Schottenneimer has admitted, Yeah,

335
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: he's missed a couple of team buses, He's missed a

336
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: few team meetings. When we talk about all this star players,

337
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: great players have longer leash than other than you know,

338
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: your regular everyday Joe.

339
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: On the back end of the roster.

340
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: Yes, but it comes to a head when it's on

341
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: national television and Richard Sherman is god doing a little

342
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: bit of a breakdown.

343
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 4: Do we have audio of this breeze?

344
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: So here's what Richard Sherman, analysts for Amazon Prime, said

345
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: about George Pickens and his effort on Thursday night in

346
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: the postgame show The.

347
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 6: Big Story, Here's George Pickens.

348
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 7: George Pickens throughout the game, especially late in the game,

349
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 7: just looked uninterested, uninterested in playing football, you know, And

350
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 7: that's what you can't have if you're going to be

351
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 7: a superstar, if you want to be the best receiver

352
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 7: in the National Football League, you can ever be disengaged.

353
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter if the game's.

354
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Going your way.

355
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 6: I'm not going your way. You can't just disappear in

356
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 6: these games or.

357
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: Else you're not gonna have impact.

358
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 7: And just right here, cruising cruising routes, you're the guy,

359
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 7: You're the guy.

360
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 6: Ceedee Lamba's not in this game.

361
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 7: He's out and you get intercepted on your slat routes

362
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 7: and you can't beat the guy in half ascid. I'm sorry,

363
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 7: that's just you can't. It's unacceptable. And if you're the

364
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys and you're looking at him and you're looking

365
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 7: to pay him big time receiver money forty million dollars,

366
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 7: you got to look at this state and say, hey,

367
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 7: is this a guy we can trust paying forty million

368
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 7: dollars to show up regardless of circumstance.

369
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: But I don't know now he said you look at

370
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: him A look at the tape. You obviously can't see

371
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: that here on Fox Sports Radio, but we can explain

372
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: to you if you haven't seen the actual tape that

373
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: was rolling while if Richard Sherman was speaking, Yeah, Pickens

374
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: is kind of lollygagging.

375
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 4: A couple of routes.

376
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: There was a ball, kind of a fifty to fifty

377
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: ball where he could have really attacked it and decided

378
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: not to when the defender broke it up.

379
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: Looked like Cam Newton the Super Bowl, going for that

380
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: fumble or not going for it.

381
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

382
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll bring that up every time that pray

383
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: fair enough, I understand.

384
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: So George Pickens, as I think this might be the

385
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: third time this year where he's done this. Oh really,

386
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: He hosts an Instagram post in response to Richard Sherman.

387
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: Wait and they defined did you find that commentary that's

388
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: scathing from Richard Sherman.

389
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: I thought it was fair. You thought it was fair.

390
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: I thought it was fair. For personal.

391
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it was personal. I don't even

392
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: know that they It's like they played against each other

393
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: or anything. I don't think there's anything personal. Richard Sherman

394
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: is very outspoken, always has been, obviously, and look he

395
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: had the tape to back it up.

396
00:14:59,560 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: You know.

397
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: Again, it's not like George Pickens's reputation has not followed him.

398
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: We see he has the talent to be a tough

399
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: five receiver in the league. He's amazing.

400
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: I thought he took it maybe a little bit further

401
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: than he needed, tokay, just for clicks and attention, talking

402
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: about if he's gonna give effort like that, you can't

403
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: pay a guy or you have to wonder about that.

404
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: But it wasn't bad. I don't think it was unprofessional.

405
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: I don't think it was over the line, and I.

406
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: Don't think it warranted this response. Well, I'm gonna try

407
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 4: to clean this up a little bit. Good luck.

408
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: So.

409
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: George Pickens' response on Instagram before it was actually deleted said,

410
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: this is a team game, lmao.

411
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm not the only one on the team.

412
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: Stop becoming an analyst and talking about one player when

413
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: he playing a team's game. A lot of our ish

414
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: has to go right for explosive plays. And it's funny

415
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: because I thought former players would know that. As such, Richard,

416
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: I can't say those two words on the air. Sherman, who,

417
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: by the way, ain't ish without the legion of Boom.

418
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: We all remember San Francisco. Brother, what does that mean?

419
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 4: I don't know what he ain't. He was a big

420
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 4: part of the Legion of Boom. What are you talking about?

421
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: He closed out that game against San Francisco. He knocked

422
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: the pass away leading to the pick and that's why

423
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: he was.

424
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 4: Calling out Crabtree afterwards.

425
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: Don't speak on me unless you know the game of

426
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: football as a former player, not a blank fan slash

427
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: analyst that act like double team is not a thing,

428
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: or certain bracket coverages don't exist. Knowing you play ball,

429
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: wouild show me you a leech weirdo? Now Twitter eat

430
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: this up?

431
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: We did, we did, and now we're spitting it back out.

432
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: Some of this is like he's messing up history talking

433
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: about remember San Francisco, You mean when they beat him

434
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: in the NFC Championship and then smoke the Denver Broncos

435
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: because of that legion of boom that yes, he was

436
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: the best corner for there were other guys.

437
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: It wasn't just him, but but I mean, he was

438
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: one of the faces.

439
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 4: Chandler Chancellor is probably my favorite.

440
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: Safety at that knock your head off with the way

441
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: he hit.

442
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: Didn't he get Megatron once?

443
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 3: Didn't that happen like on a fumble right before he

444
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: was about to cross.

445
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: The end Z I'm gonna look it up though. I

446
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: know that meg Charn's.

447
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: Also one of my favorites, but I do not understand

448
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: where he's coming from. Was some of the criticism or

449
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: the response to Richard Sherman, because when you say double

450
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: team bracket coverages.

451
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: Just like, why don't you respond to.

452
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: The specifics of what Richard Sherman was looking at. He

453
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: had your tape of you pulling up lame and not

454
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: going all out.

455
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: For a ball tape.

456
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: Don't lie, Come on, had nothing to do with the

457
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 3: double team. No, that's just you not giving an all

458
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: out effort. Well, and see that's what calls into question.

459
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: Now they're not gonna do it at this point in

460
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: time because they already traded for me and I think

461
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: at worse they're gonna franchise them. Yeah, but obviously it's

462
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 2: great to have a receiver duel like Ceede Lamb and

463
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 2: George Pickens, But can you rightfully commit that much money

464
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: in a long term contract? And Pickens is going to

465
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: demand number one type receiver money to two guys, first

466
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: of all, just two receivers in general, knowing the needs

467
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: that you have on the defense and on the offensive line.

468
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: That's one, and then two to a guy that you

469
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: might not be able to rely on.

470
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 3: He's so damn talented though, that is the problem. And

471
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: he has played like a number one receiver all season

472
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: without and Pittsburgh knew he had that talent in him,

473
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: but things were so bad there they gave up on him.

474
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 4: Now is he on his best behavior? Is this what

475
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 4: his best behavior looks like? That's the thing, Adam.

476
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: His best behavior is missing team buses and missing team

477
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: meetings and loly gaggan on the field. So once he

478
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: actually gets broken off and gets paid, then what mediocre?

479
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 4: Hey, that's what you worry about. Mediocre, that's the problem.

480
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: If this is the.

481
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: Effort he's giving in basically a contract year in a

482
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: game where ced goes down and they need him to

483
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: step up, and he's obviously capable of doing it, you

484
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: do worry. But I you mentioned the franchise tag. You

485
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 3: can do that two years in a row, now, right.

486
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: I think they will obviously take the risk. It's the

487
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: long term contract that then you wonder about down the line.

488
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: Or is he going to be happy being franchise tag

489
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: because he's not getting that long term money that's guaranteed

490
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: play to something else.

491
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, no player is ever happy to get tagged.

492
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 3: But sorry, you're only getting paid the average salary of

493
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 3: a top five player at your position.

494
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, which is twenty plus million dollars if

495
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: who knows what at the receiver position. Yeah, I think

496
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: he'll survive.

497
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: I they're two dynamic with him and CD. The only

498
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: chance they have the hope moving forward is because their

499
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 3: offense is so spectacular and if the defense can just

500
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 3: be as Richard Sherman would say, mediocre, yeah, mediocre next

501
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: year mediocre, then they are a contender. So yeah, they're

502
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: going to take the risk. He's worth it, But there

503
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: are some warning signs right now, no doubt, no doubt.

504

Speaker 2: Fox Football Saturday. You can't hit us up on the

533
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 2: socials on x at K fig one and that follow

534
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 2: Adam Ay Adam. We do have some reaction to our

535
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: Richard Sherman versus George Pickens conversation from the first segment.

536
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: Is this corrections and retractions. We're trying to bite a

537
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: real show.

538
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 10: Now.

539
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: What's happening here?

540
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: Said at Superstar Dad says he's talking about when Sherman

541
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: played for the forty nine ers. When he says, we

542
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: all saw what happened in San Francisco. I think Jayson B.

543
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: Diamond also says. The way I looked at what George

544
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: Pickens said is he meant Richard Sherman the year he

545
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: played for the forty nine ers.

546
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 3: Well, now he double sourced it correct, so they must

547
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 3: be right. That's what he was talking about. But that's

548
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: still not a very good argument from Pickens.

549
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 4: Because he was washed at that point.

550
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: Yes, he was coming off of an ACL injury, which

551
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: is a big reason why he didn't sign back with Seattle,

552
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: and San Francisco signed him, and he was damaged goods

553
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: at that point.

554
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: He and Achilles, he wasn't the same player. Yeah, he

555
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: was done.

556
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: That's not a fair comparison, being like, oh, he was

557
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: hiding behind the muscles of everybody else with the lesion

558
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: of boom and that's the only reason.

559
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: He was good.

560
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 4: We compared him.

561
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: I remember we did a show back then to who's

562
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 3: the best corner between him and Patrick Patterson or Peterson?

563
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: Patrick Peterson, Patrick Peterson for the Arizona Cardinals. We talked

564
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: about that Richard Sherman was elite mediocre.

565
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 4: He was not mediocre.

566
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: He was that good. So Pickens, he's wrong about this.

567
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: I'm sorry Yes, he needs a history lesson.

568
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: He's young. I get it, Breece.

569
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: Should we go to Hermosa Beach? Should we go to

570
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: abbey a?

571
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 5: Right?

572
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: Is that near Seal Beach?

573
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: It is not.

574
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: It's quite a ways away. That's kind of near my

575
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: neck of the woods. Abby, what's going on? You leave

576
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: a Hennessy tavern or Patrick mlloy's.

577
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 4: What's going on?

578
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I'm not a Patrick mclloy's, but I've been

579
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 5: there quite a few times. I just wanted to say

580
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 5: I'm a Niner fan and I totally understood his comments

581
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 5: to be about the Niners. But he George Dickens is

582
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 5: very talented. You said that, but he needs to mature,

583
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: Okay in his comments about world time players like Richard Sherman.

584
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 5: He can't just be talking when Cavalier attitude like he's

585
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 5: the best person in the world.

586
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 10: He's not.

587
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 5: He hasn't proven it yet. Richard Sherman has proven it. Yes,

588
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 5: he was damaged as coming to the forty nine Ers,

589
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 5: but the forty nine ers respected him enough and he's

590
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 5: still an amazing commentator. And I hate to say that

591
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 5: because I hated the Seahawks.

592
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 2: A forty nine Er fan yeah, we feel Youavy, Thanks

593
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: for the call, much appreciate it. To be safe out

594
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: there intermerussa beach.

595
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 3: You know what George Pickens should have said nothing, nothing,

596
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 3: or he's right, I need to be better, yeah, instead

597
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: of deflecting and saying it's a team game, just like, yeah,

598
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: this one's on me.

599
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: I'll do better next time.

600
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: And that's it.

601
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: It doesn't become a story at that point time. And

602
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 4: if anything, it actually.

603
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: Helps the narrow around you because that's something that's followed

604
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: you your entire.

605
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 3: Career, that would show maturity and growth, that would make

606
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers green with envy.

607
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: That you left them.

608
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 3: Yes, they let you go, but still all.

609
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: Right, So before we talk about the potential of a

610
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: NBA star being traded, we do want to talk about

611
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: some of the big news from Friday night. It has

612
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: now become official that Matt Campbell is leaving the university

613
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: or Iowa State University, i should say, and is now

614
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: will be the head coach at Penn State after Penn

615
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: State could not find anybody to take that job. Kline

616
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: Satakia b why you turned them down? Jeff Brahm at

617
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: Louisville turned them down. It's been hard sledding for for

618
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: Penn State.

619
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 3: Is that about unrealistic expectations by the fan base?

620
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: Maybe?

621
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 4: I think what it is.

622
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: I think it was probably just a quick and emotional

623
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 2: decision by their athletic director who fired James Franklin, but

624
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: probably didn't really have a plan in place as to

625
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: who was going to replace him.

626
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: You could say what you.

627
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: Want about James Franklin and his shortcomings, He's still considered

628
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: one of the best coaches in America, and it's gonna

629
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: be hard to replicate what he did as far as

630
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: bring the amount of talent that he brought in. I

631
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: know he didn't get the top ten wins or beat

632
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: Ohio State and all that. We can talk about all that,

633
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 2: but that's really difficult to do.

634
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: He set a baseline of competitive greatness. Yeah, they just

635
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: couldn't get over the hump in the biggest games.

636
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: So now you have to meet that base, you have

637
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 2: to surpass that baseline. If you're Matt Campbell, that's the problem.

638
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: So the expectation level is going to be raised from

639
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 2: you from day one, you know. But Matt Campbell did

640
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: at Iowa State for his decade plus. Was our actual decade.

641
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 2: It was ten years.

642
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 4: Was great because that was a Wobegone program that did nothing.

643
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 4: You've been a fan of his for a while.

644
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 2: He's been great, and I know Petrols has too. We'll

645
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: ask Petrol's about it because I know Petrols has been

646
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: a fan of Matt Campbell. I advocated for Matt Campbell

647
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: to get the UCLA job when it's been opened the

648
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: last couple of times, the USC job when it's been

649
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: opened the last couple of times. We warned him over

650
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: west side here he got offered the Detroit Lions head

651
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: coaching job before no relation. Dan Campbell got offered and

652
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: he turned it down. He turned it down.

653
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 3: Well, now someone probably wouldn't turn down that job. Nan

654
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: Campbell was the one really taking a risk at that

655
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: time because of all the dysfunction and losing that well.

656
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: I had to buy off a few Niue caps and

657
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: look where they are now to turn them around. Yeah,

658
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: so I would say a good hire all things consider,

659
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: considering where things have been the problem is now you've

660
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: surpassed the early signing period. You do have the portal

661
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: coming up in January, so that helps, but your recruiting

662
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: class is dog.

663
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 4: Yes, their recruiting class sounds like George Pick. It's terrible.

664
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 3: It is.

665
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 2: And this is what happens when you fire ahead coach

666
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: and you thought you were getting out ahead of it

667
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: by doing it early in the season and you'd find

668
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: somebody to be the replacement, and you just haven't done it,

669
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 2: and now you find yourself as one of the last teams,

670
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: really the last major FBS program to fill your head

671
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: coaching position, and it's after the early signing period.

672
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 3: The stuff the AD said after releasing James Franklin also, yeah,

673
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: we are here to win championships.

674
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 4: This is Penn stake. We have to bring in someone

675
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 4: who can recruit and who can win. And WHU can

676
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 4: was like, all right, well, I'm sorry. When's the last

677
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 4: time they won a national title? Been a long time? Eighties?

678
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: Been a long time eighties. Yes, I don't think.

679
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: Carrie Coles and Kajohna Carter one in ninety five, did they?

680
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 4: I don't believe. So maybe shared And.

681
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 3: Anyways, everything's different. Now it's a college football playoff. It's

682
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: twelve teams, it'll be twenty four teams soon. The standard

683
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit too high. I know, I know,

684
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: you shoot for the moon and if you miss, you're

685
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: among the stars. And I know you should set it there,

686
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: but when you get turned down by this many guys, humbling,

687
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: isn't it Even Matt Campbell's gotta be like, Eh, I

688
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 3: know I wasn't your first choice here, but uh, I'm

689
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: gonna do a good job for you.

690
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: No, the good things can come out of this. I mean,

691
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll was like the fifth choice for USC when

692
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: nobody wanted that job.

693
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: You could stumble into making the right decision.

694
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: You're absolutely higher. And I do think that Matt Campbell

695
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 2: is a good coach. But it's just interesting how they

696
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: all this route came about to them making this higher.

697
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: So I hope it ends up working out for them.

698
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: James Franklin, by the way, I know he hasn't coached

699
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 2: a game yet. He's already cleaning up when it comes

700
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: to recruiting into the transfer portal at Virginia Tech.

701
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: So we'll see how thing about Lane kiff in two

702
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: a little bit later, because that became official.

703
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 4: The riding was on the wall.

704
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 3: We talk about a little bit last week and over

705
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks, but we'll get into that

706
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: later and talk with Petros about it. I'm sure a

707
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: little bit of NBA news going on. This is something

708
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 3: I had been talking about, I mean all summer long

709
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: on Clippers talk. I've done multiple shows regarding a non Clipper,

710
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: just in case this player became available, because he's that

711
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: good that you talk about him even before there's real buzz.

712
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 4: Well, you're gonna talk about the Clippers.

713
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, okay, this was this summer. Well okay, sorry,

714
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: speaking of a high bar. We had real expectations going

715
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: into this season. Unfortunately, there's six and seventeen. After another loss,

716
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: the bar broke, fans swearing at me. Pet's head was.

717
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 4: Trying to do like trying to do a swing on

718
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: that bar and just totally collapsed on you. All right.

719
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: We thought it was gonna be Libby Dune on that bar.

720
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened. Uh, but Gianni is dead

721
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 3: at Kompo, as predicted. Is going to ask for a

722
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: trade at some point, if he hasn't all ready because

723
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 3: of all these conflicting reports.

724
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: Doc River says he hasn't happened. Yeah, Now, Brian Windhorse

725
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: is kind of like saying, it's essentially semantics. I mean,

726
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: the talks over the summer about the Knicks and the

727
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: Bucks and whether or not there will be a trade there.

728
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: It sounds as if Johannis went to the Bucks front

729
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: office and said, hey, you know, I wouldn't necessarily be

730
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: mad if you talk to the Knicks, and if there

731
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: was some sort of deal in place, I'd be okay

732
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: with that.

733
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask it.

734
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 6: For a trade.

735
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: No one, So he's probably hedging a little bit so

736
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: we can all he can say faces I never asked to.

737
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 4: Be traded anywhere.

738
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: I just said, if you were going to entertain trade talks,

739
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: here's a place that I wouldn't necessarily mind going to.

740
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: What I said this summer was and this was after

741
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: he was I think in Israel with the social media

742
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: star I show speed.

743
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

744
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, they had a whole thing. I remember this, Yes,

745
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 4: he said.

746
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: Then he was asked about are you gonna stay in Milwaukee,

747
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: and he's like probably maybe. He was so noncommittal about

748
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: it that you knew this could happen, especially when you

749
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: saw the roster and how desperate they were where they

750
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: did a sign no no, no, they.

751
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: Did a stretch wave for Damian Lillard so they can

752
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: free up enough money to sign.

753
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: Which has been a dud at this point. Yes, total dud.

754
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: They thought that was the replacement for brook Lopez, which a.

755
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: Lot of people, by the way, at the time said

756
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: it was gonna be a dud. And it was a

757
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: desperate move.

758
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 3: It absolutely reeked of desperation, the stinkiest cologne out there,

759
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: and so we all knew it could happen once they

760
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: started losing. And the thing I kept saying was they're

761
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: going to field calls regardless of what they're saying. Teams

762
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: are going to call them. They know it's close. Yeah,

763
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: even this past summer. They know there's a chance, and

764
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: eventually someone's gonna make a godfather offer.

765
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 4: And what's gonna happen is.

766
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 3: Because Giannis is a legacy player the front office, if

767
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: they like the offer, they're gonna go to the honest

768
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna say, hey, would you be interested in going

769
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: to this destination? And if he signs off on it,

770
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: they're good. They're not gonna blindside him. He doesn't have

771
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: a no trade call. They're gonna work with him on this.

772
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: They're not gonna pull the Luca ad situation on him

773
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: and do it in the middle of the night.

774
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 4: They will not Okay, it won't be a Blake Griffin situation.

775
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: Not here. I don't I can't remember what happened there.

776
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: But they're not gonna blindside him. He's a legacy player.

777
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: He brought them their first championship in forty years. They're

778
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: gonna do this the right way. But they're gonna have

779
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: so many teams bidding that surely there will be one

780
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: that Giannis is interested in going to. And there were

781
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: rumors also, I think it's September about him being interested

782
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: in the Knicks because of the flights to Greece and

783
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: how much closer it is he might stay out east.

784
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: I just know you're more dialed into this one, especially

785
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: when it comes to salaries and aprons and all that stuff,

786
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: than I am. But I mean, do the Knicks even

787
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: have enough assets without actually hurting their the depth of

788
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: their roster to bring him in because they don't have

789
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: any first round picks. They've traded all their picks from

790
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: now until twenty eighty Bridge who is a good player.

791
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: He is, and he's an important part of what they're doing,

792
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 4: and he's always available.

793
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: Well there's that part too, but without you know, trading

794
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: car all Anthony Towns or Josh Hart or guys who

795
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: are important to what they do is gonna end up

796
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: hurting your roster.

797
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 4: In your depth town trade form, towns would be included,

798
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: you have to be so.

799
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the exact trade package that

800
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: Milwaukee would be looking for to start over. What you

801
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: want is a young foundational piece that has real potential

802
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: on a high ceiling, and a bunch of first round picks.

803
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 4: Right, that's what you want.

804
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 3: That's what the OKC thunder got, yeah, from the Clippers

805
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen. That's best case scenario. Obviously, that's what

806
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 3: they're going to be asking for. But they could go

807
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: another route where if Doc Rivers is still there, maybe

808
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: he wants to be competitive. They want to still try

809
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: to fight to make the playoffs. They want to be

810
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 3: a good team. That's not a great team, but that's

811
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: a hard place to be in. However, if you're getting

812
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: enough first round picks like that could entice you to

813
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: do a move, even if it's not perfect, especially if

814
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: Jannis is good with going there, because he's always going

815
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: to be attached to the Milwaukee fan base and that franchise.

816
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: They want to have a good relationship ship with a

817
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: franchise player. Now it's all coming back to the Clippers

818
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 3: over and over again. Now I'm thinking of CP three

819
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: and the disaster.

820
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 4: Going on right now.

821
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: They don't want anything like that happening a strained relationship, No.

822
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: They don't so, and I think it's really hard to

823
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: try to play both sides of it, to be somewhat

824
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: mediocre while also trying to rebuild. I think usually for teams,

825
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: they end up turning it around. You're one or the other.

826
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: You're at the very top and you're competing for titles,

827
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: or you're at the bottom you're getting lottery picks and

828
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: you're rebuilding from scratch.

829
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 4: There's really not much in between.

830
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 3: It's hard to stay competitive as a forty five win

831
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: team every year and end up building a contender. Now

832
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 3: some would say the Indiana Pacers did that to a degree.

833
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: They kind of accumulated talent without totally bottoming out, at

834
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 3: least for multiple seasons. But they also got lucky with

835
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 3: the Sacramento Kings working with them that Halliburton trade.

836
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 4: They want some.

837
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: Bonus, they got Hallie. He ended up being a big

838
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: time stealing razor for everybody around him.

839
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: And at the time when that trade was made. Nobody

840
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: saw Halliburton turn into the player that he was in Indiana.

841
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: They it kind of I don't want to say it

842
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: lucked out or whatever, but to a certain.

843
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: Degree it did.

844
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 3: Although I did scream many times over Sacramento, cannot do this.

845
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 3: You should not do this. Sabonis has a really low

846
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 3: ceiling because he can't defend the rim, but he has

847
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: to be your center because he can't shoot that well either. Yeah,

848
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: I was on the right side of history in this

849
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: particular instance.

850
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 2: I just make sure that he plays against Anthony Davis

851
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: every single game and he'll be a superstar.

852
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: Okay, he does own ad We'll give him that.

853
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 4: Oh okay, So.

854

858
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 3: live among us. It walks among us. That was a

859
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 3: sequel to the creature from the Black Lagoon.

860
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 4: Oh I there's something about me us. I've been caught

861

Speaker 3: one one after her McDonald's run out of McNuggets streams.

880
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 3: He can't give a drunk man riding a horse at

881
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: EWI because unlike cars, boards just don't have motors.

882
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: They have a mind in their own.

883
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 10: Strange things begin.

884
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: Twenty four year old man now Juessy throwing an alligator

885
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: through a drive through window.

886
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 10: You are STANGEI.

887
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 3: So I live in Burbank and Glendale area in southern California,

888
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 3: near the La Equestrian Center.

889
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 4: That's where all the horses are.

890
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: It's near Griffith Park, so there's trails everywhere. It's really

891
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 3: a ferm goalie situation with Batsy played.

892
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 4: By Robin Williams. My name it used to wrap Batsy.

893
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 3: I love it even when at night because my cat

894
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 3: lady neighbor puts out cat food for stray cats.

895
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 4: It leads, wait, aren't you a cat lady neighbor to

896
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: the cat lady.

897
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: Cat daddy that's what they call themselves, all right, excuse me.

898
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 3: She puts up the cat food, the stray cats come up.

899
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 3: But it's not just the stray cats that are coming

900
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 3: for it. There's a lot of nocturnal animals out there, coyotes, skunks,

901
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: and possums. Maybe even the one that once stalked Fred Rogan. Oh,

902
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: I hope so he loves telling that story. Now, you

903
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: never heard that it might be after me. Now it

904
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: might have even had a baby possum. Because I've seen

905
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: a baby possum right at my door. It's possum kingdom there.

906
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 3: One time I was walking outside in sandals late at

907
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: night and I stepped on something and I realized it

908
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: was a possum.

909
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 4: In my sandals. About I had one of those.

910
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 3: Type of moments where like, you know, you turn white

911
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 3: with fear and you're falling over like the life Alert.

912
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 2: It's like the old comic books where they were cursed,

913
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: but they couldn't actually write the words, so it was

914
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: just like you know what an ampersand and a number

915
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 2: signed and a bunch of other things.

916
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 8: You know.

917
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 3: It was shocking, but it didn't bite me. I didn't

918
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 3: have to get any shots or anything. I think it

919
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 3: was just as scared of me. And I love when

920
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: Peter or animal conservationists or marine biologists are like.

921
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 4: The sharks are more scared of you than you are

922
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: of them.

923
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: It's like, it sure seems scared to me when you

924
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: took a bite out of my ass, real scared. So

925
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: what's the worst thing that happens to them? If I'm scared,

926
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 3: I just stare at them frozen in fear. While the

927
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: worst thing that happens to me when they're scared is

928
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: they eat me. It's not the same or at least

929
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: mall me a little bit. Yeah, they just were taking

930
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: a test bite.

931
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, cool, My memoral artery is rough. I want

932
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: to kill you. They just want to take a little taste.

933
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, great, now another animal that could do

934
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: that would be a bear. What and apparently, well, I

935
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 3: can stay out of the ocean, I cannot escape the

936
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 3: forest surrounding me.

937
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 4: By Griffith Park, a smoky came after you too.

938
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 11: Well.

939
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 3: A man a little bit northeast of me in Alsadena, California,

940
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: had an encounter with a black bear this week that

941
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 3: has been sleeping under his house in a crawl space

942
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: where he had a camera installed this summer, and he

943
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 3: picked it up to be a pretty big crawl space.

944
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 3: Guy's name is Ken Johnson, who's he's sixty three. He said, quote,

945
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: it's a huge bear, yeah, describing it as tall as

946
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: a table and bigger than the trash bins in front

947
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 3: of his house. He said, it's really unnerving because I

948
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: don't know if he's going to to tear everything up

949
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 3: under there.

950
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 4: I don't know how to get him out now.

951
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: The reason the bear ended up there is probably because

952
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: of the tragedy with the wildfires.

953
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 2: Going on in the area of Alsadena, so they came

954
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: down into the neighborhoods when looking for food.

955
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: And such displaced bears. But Ken Johnson he hears the

956
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 3: bear under his floorboards all the time and he's called

957
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 3: local law enforcement after it grounded him. They told him

958
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 3: call the state officials. What But he was eventually directed

959
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: to fill a form out online reporting a bear siding.

960
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 3: He checked a box for property damage and wrote, quote,

961
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 3: it's living under my house.

962
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 4: Sorry, my taxpayer dollars going for right? What are we doing?

963
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 3: Apparently California Department of Fishing Wildlife, they're too busy with

964
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: other bear situations.

965
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 4: I guess they're really backed up right now.

966
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: It's literally a bear living under a man's house that

967
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: could attack him and destroy his house at any time.

968
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 3: So this guy says, quote, the plan is, I'm gonna

969
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 3: buy a bunch of dinner rolls and line them down

970
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 3: the street up to the hole and have some sand

971
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 3: bags ready. When he comes down the street to get

972
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 3: the dinner rolls, I'll throw the sandbags in there, cover

973
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 3: it with pepper spray, and just hope he stays away.

974
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: So this is like the old bugs bunny trick or

975
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: something where you lure somebody in and they fall into

976
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 2: a hole in the street.

977
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 7: That's what it is.

978
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, a manhole. It's looney Tunes, all right. I wonder

979
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 4: you know. I pulled out the laser pointer.

980
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 3: Last night with my cats to get him out of

981
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: my bedroom.

982
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 4: Would a laser pointer work on a bear? You know what,

983
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 4: you should test that out, Adam.

984
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: You should go to that guy's house in Oltadena and

985
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: find out.

986
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 4: It's like a twelve minute drive. Report back to me

987
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 4: and let me know how that goes. If you're able

988
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 4: to NFL six pack coming him next on fsr P.

989
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

996
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 2: Matt Campbell at Penn State. Talk about other off field

997
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: issues going on in college football with coaching and recruiting.

998
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 4: What about the part snake, part rat.

999
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: You have to talk about that to right, Oh, and

1000
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 2: I guess it is championship weekend. I guess we can

1001
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 2: talk about football that's actually being played on the field.

1002
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 3: For the love of God, anything happening or like the

1003
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 3: top two ranked teams playing or something unbelievable.

1004
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: Only sport now maybe the NBA the only sport where

1005
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 2: people talk more about what happens off the court, off

1006
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: the field, et cetera, than what's actually happening.

1007
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 3: All right, dulous, we'll get into it. But right now, Mark,

1008
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 3: we know what time it is.

1009
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: Time for the NFL six pack.

1010
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 4: All right, six categories. We each go through them here,

1011
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 4: starting with.

1012
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: Hot seed heat check.

1013
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: That's right, the kulture player under the most pressure going

1014
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 2: into this weekend.

1015
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 4: You want to start, you want me to start here,

1016
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 4: I'll start.

1017
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

1018
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 3: I try to tell you all about the Bills we

1019
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 3: go and how they redeemed themselves last week in Pittsburgh

1020
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: and boy did they winning twenty six to seven and

1021
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 3: making Aaron Rodgers look like one of the wet bandits

1022
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 3: with that picture going around of him with a busted

1023
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: up nose and a black beanie on postgame with the

1024
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 3: caption quote, Aaron Rodgers looked like he tried to rob

1025
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: Kevin mccallister's house. Someone took it a step further and

1026
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: had the blowtorch booby traps singing.

1027
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 4: His hair off, making him bald.

1028
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 3: Well that blow torch and that might be under the

1029
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: seat of both head coaches in this game in Baltimore

1030
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 3: on Sunday, with a loser might get a pancake to

1031
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: the face or a paint can to the face, I

1032
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 3: should say, because this is the early moment of truth.

1033
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 3: I know they still have a game left in Pittsburgh

1034
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: at the end of the season, but this, this is big.

1035
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 3: This one is going to separate Pittsburgh and Baltimore because

1036
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 3: the winner will be seven and six standing alone at

1037
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 3: the top of the AFC North and the loser they're

1038
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: gonna feel like they stepped on that nail after climbing

1039
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 3: up the tar covered stairs only to fall backwards into

1040
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 3: the basement like Marv did.

1041
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 4: I was home alone one.

1042
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: But John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin they're like the two

1043
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 3: turtle doves and home alone two right now birds of

1044
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: a feather in their current coaching situations, with both feeling

1045
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 3: the heat of that hot door knob and home alone

1046
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 3: as one of them could be shown the door at

1047
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 3: the end of this season, and this game could weigh

1048
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 3: heavily on that decision. Now, if I had a guess

1049
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 3: who had more pressure on him going into this ball game.

1050
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 4: Probably Tomlin.

1051
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: No, it's Mike Tomlin, he's been I feel like he's

1052
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: been feeling the heat at least from Steeler fans for

1053
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 2: at least the last five years.

1054
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 3: You know why, because he kept the door open for

1055
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: the Ravens after going to five in their last seven

1056
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 3: games with the Steelers.

1057
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 4: That's fair.

1058
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 3: They made Baltimore believe they could steal the division away

1059
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 3: from Pittsburgh after the Steelers started four and one and

1060
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 3: the Ravens were one in five. If that's the circumstance

1061
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: that leads to Mike Tomlin having his first losing season

1062
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 3: as a head coach, it's about as pathetic as getting

1063
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 3: your ass kicked while trying to rob a house defended

1064
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 3: by a ten year old with a pellet gun and

1065
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 3: a tarantula. But the web connecting these two coaches is

1066
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: melting by the seat that continues to warm. And whoever

1067
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 3: loses this game, well that loss is gonna sting more

1068
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 3: than the after shave hitting McCauley Colster and Kevin mccallister's

1069
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 3: face when he finally applied it a thank you, one

1070
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 3: of the great screams in film history.

1071
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 5: It is.

1072
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I honestly don't know.

1073
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: I don't feel like John Harbo's on the hot seat,

1074
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, Mike Tomlin, definitely, this is

1075
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 2: year nineteen. I believe for him, we are a long

1076
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: way removed from just their last playoff win, let alone

1077
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 2: their Super Bowl, which he won in his second year

1078
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: as coach.

1079
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 4: Like, it's been a long time beginner's luck.

1080
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and at a certain point, you know, and I'm

1081
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: not necessarily a fan of like just change for the

1082
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: sake of making change. But the you can only ride

1083
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: the we've been have had non losing seasons for however

1084
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: many straight years. You can only ride that for so

1085
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: long when the expectation is to compete for championships.

1086
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 3: Also, can we remember all the fluky stuff that happened

1087
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 3: for them to win that Super Bowl, The crazy catch at.

1088
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 4: The end, all the Sanntonio homes catch, the return touchdown

1089
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 4: to end the first Hans Harrison, the interception at the

1090
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 4: goal line against Kurt Warner. They really we're fortunate there.

1091
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1092
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, If not for that, he's fired six seven years ago.

1093
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 2: So because you're talking about him being zer and two

1094
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl, because they lost a few years

1095
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: later to Green Bay, I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagles

1096
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: on Monday Night football against the Los Angeles Chargers. And

1097
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 2: look if we wind back to pre week one, Remember

1098
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 2: we talked to James co about fantasy football and Adam

1099
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: you asked him about Saquon Barkley and if you would

1100
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: be fall victim to the two two thousand yard rushing jinks.

1101
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,959
Speaker 2: James said he looked more at total touches than yards

1102
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: accumulated and determining whether or not it will affect his

1103
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: play this year the rule of three to seventy right,

1104
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 2: So in twenty twenty four, three hundred and seventy eight

1105
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: total touches for two thousand, two hundred and eighty three

1106
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage. This season so far, two hundred and

1107
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: thirty three touches for a total of nine hundred and

1108
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 2: ninety nine yards. So his effectiveness has gone down. But

1109
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: the surprising thing is his amount of touches has gone

1110
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 2: down last season twenty three touches per game this year nineteen. Now,

1111
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: on the surface, you might say for or few are

1112
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 2: not that big of a deal, but consider how big

1113
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: of a home run threat he was for that offense

1114
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 2: last season. There was a handful of games last year

1115
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 2: where he rushed for one hundred and forty yards, but

1116
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: seventy of them came on a carry on a breakaway

1117
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: touchdown on the fourth quarter. For as much as we

1118
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 2: talk about aj Brown complaining and being disgruntled about not

1119
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: getting the ball and making enough plays, which he does, Yeah,

1120
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 2: the explosiveness of the Eagles offense last season came on

1121
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: the backs of their running game, not their pass game.

1122
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: It was not the classic run the ball to set

1123
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 2: up the pass. It was run the ball so you

1124
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: can keep running the ball and wear teams down. So

1125
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: when the fourth quarter rolls around, the defense is so tired,

1126
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: Barkley can break off long game ceiling runs. Yes, and

1127
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,479
Speaker 2: that just has not happened this season for whatever reason.

1128
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 2: A lot of the blame is going to the new

1129
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, Kevin Patulo, who should not have had his

1130
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 2: house egged, by the way, be classy and tpe ad

1131
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: at least all right, well, you gotta break the guys windows.

1132
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 4: What are we doing?

1133
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 3: Was it Halloween or just any Sunday or something?

1134
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 4: No, this is just last week. Philly fans. They're so

1135
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,439
Speaker 4: p oed with the guy. They actually egged his house.

1136
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 4: They doorbell ditchim while they were at it. Ridiculous.

1137
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: I'd rather you do that, But unfortunately for him, he's

1138
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: really the only major variable that's changed. I know they

1139
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 2: lost Mackay Beckton to the Chargers, Lane Johnson and Lander

1140
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: Dickerson on the offensive line have been in and out

1141
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 2: with some injuries, but even when the offensive line has

1142
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 2: been whole, they still have had issues running the ball

1143
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: and really in pass protection as well. For whatever reason,

1144
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 2: they should bring in Chip Kelly. He knows how to

1145
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 2: run the ball, at least unlesson's unless he's in Las Vegas.

1146
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: I guess he's calling the right with the wrong players

1147
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 2: or plays that aren't even play sheet apparently, but that

1148
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: you had to La Monday night. And this essentially, like

1149
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 2: most of them, are going to be a home game

1150
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 2: for the road team. Philadelphia packs the house in Los Angeles.

1151
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 2: We've seen it for years, so this is not going

1152
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 2: to be any different. So now the problem is they

1153
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 2: have the exact same record on the home on the

1154
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 2: road as they do at the Link, So it's not

1155
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 2: there's really working at any advantage one way or the

1156
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: other for them. But I think this is a scary

1157
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: spot because they're reeling at the moment. I talked about

1158
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: their offensive issues, but their defense, which has carried them

1159
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: this year, has been shredded the last two weeks. The

1160
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: Cowboys eight their defensive secondary alive in that second half,

1161
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: and then the following week the Bears had the most

1162
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 2: rushing yard as a team since Walter Payton was playing there.

1163
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 4: Who yeah. So the Chargers come in after a win

1164
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 4: over the Raiders.

1165
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: Which is essentially a bye week at this point, but whatever,

1166
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 2: they're riding some momentum.

1167
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 4: The doll broke out and had a huge game on

1168
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 4: the ground.

1169
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: It looks like a Marion Hampton is going to be

1170
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: back in the lineup, so that adds more offensive juice

1171
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 2: to them in the backfield. And of course Justin Herbert's

1172
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: hand is going to be an issue, but not a

1173
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 2: major one seeing as it's not his throwing hand. With

1174
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 2: the way that Jesse Menzer draws up defense defenses, I

1175
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: think that this can end up being a nightmare Samario

1176
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 2: for the Eagles because with a win, the Eagles would

1177
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: open up a two game lead over Dallas in the

1178
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 2: NFC East, but if they lose, they'd still be hanging

1179
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: on to just a one game lead over Dallas with

1180
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: still five games left in the regular season.

1181
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 4: Have they lost their identity?

1182
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 3: You mentioned the lack of touches with Saquon Barkley and

1183
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 3: all those explosive plays that haven't happened this season. Everything's

1184
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 3: just so difficult for them on offense. They've even had

1185
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 3: some trouble with some touch pushes.

1186
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: They have fumbling the bad Yeah, and I don't And

1187
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: again you can talk about the offensive coordinator, but generally speaking,

1188
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: are they now? They're not running the same schemes in

1189
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 2: the same plays with the same players for the most part.

1190
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 3: I mean, how much could this just be Super Bowl hangover?

1191
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 3: Because they did party pretty hard afterwards. Billy knows how

1192
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 3: to party.

1193
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 4: It's just possible.

1194
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 2: And like you make multiple deep runs into the postseason,

1195
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: which they have over the last four years, it can

1196
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: catch up with you.

1197
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 11: Now.

1198
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 2: It hadn't slowed down Kansas City until now, I guess,

1199
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 2: And they've made all these deep runs, so maybe there's

1200
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: something to that. But something just doesn't seem right. And look,

1201
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 2: we can talk about the loss of effective effectiveness for

1202
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley, but the fact that he's just not even

1203
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 2: getting as many touches as many opportunities to make plays

1204
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: is the puzzling part of me.

1205
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 3: Look up, Philly fans, you know what you're seeing there.

1206
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: It's the jig.

1207
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 4: The jig is up.

1208
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's over your gimmicky offense. It's over, baby.

1209
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 4: It looks like it might be.

1210
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's hard to give up on

1211
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 3: teams like this because it wasn't like they won on

1212
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 3: a fluke last season, because they had been good and

1213
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 3: just lost a Super Bowl two years before. They have

1214
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 3: been a quality team that has found different ways to win.

1215
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 3: And you just don't want to bet against a team

1216
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 3: like that. As long as they make the tournament.

1217
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: That's the thing they have to. It's just like Kansas City.

1218
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 2: They have to find a way to actually make it in,

1219
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: which I'm confident that they will. Casey, no, no, no,

1220
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: at Philadelphia. I'll get to Kansas City later in the

1221
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 2: six Pact.

1222
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: Trust me.

1223
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 3: It was our friend get to weigh in on the

1224
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 3: on the on X Yeah, bubbah social media, baby, but

1225
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 3: Bubba Phillipeah, Well, Philadelphia, I'm fairly confident they're gonna end

1226
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 3: up making it in.

1227
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 4: But what happens?

1228
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: Again, I mentioned that this is a pretty wide open

1229
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 2: NFC field where look, the Rams are touted as the

1230
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,959
Speaker 2: best team of the NFC, and Philadelphia beat him earlier

1231
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 2: this year. Despite Philadelphia is a consistency.

1232
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 3: But when they beat him at home last year in

1233
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: the playoffs, like they had to beat him at home

1234
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 3: this year, that's a little bit of a concern because

1235
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 3: weather played a factor in that game last year in

1236
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs against I know Matt Stafford still threw for

1237
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 3: three hundred yards.

1238
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they were knocking on the door of tying

1239
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 4: that game, and.

1240
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 3: He was off with the throw to Puka I think

1241
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 3: late in the game.

1242
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 4: It wasn't final drive, just a little bit off.

1243
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, almost golf, you could say, with the way he

1244
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 3: would miss throws for the Rams.

1245
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 4: Oh God, kill me.

1246
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 2: All right, this is f and A on FSR, Fox

1247

1248
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 2: a second. We want to get the old p Petros Papadekas,

1249
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: college football analyst for Fox and FS.

1250
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 4: One going to join his coming up next definitely kill me.

1251
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 2: Go around the college football world, talk about some of

1252
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: these championship games coming up later today, and a lot

1253
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:05,200

1275
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 2: it is championship weekend in college football. We already have

1276
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 2: one team that's punched their ticket to the twelve team playoff,

1277
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: being Tulane, who beat North Texas in the eight I

1278
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 2: was gonna say the AAC they want us to call

1279
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: the American Championship Conference. Now we can't ever do it

1280
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 2: the AAC anymore.

1281
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 3: And it's the British Open all right exactly.

1282
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: So have much more of that coming up to preview

1283
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 2: what's happening in this coming weekend, as well as talk

1284
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 2: about some of these stories, the all field stories, which

1285
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 2: has dominated college football pretty much since before the football

1286
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 2: season even started. It's not joining one of our favorite guests, Adam.

1287
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: Let's get to it, Alan Dragan did thank you?

1288
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 4: Donny Well join the show right now.

1289
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 3: Is a college football expert who may not have a

1290
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 3: Heisman vote or be on the playoff committee, but that

1291
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 3: just means he's not a dumbass and would know that

1292
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: when it comes down to a choice between two teams

1293
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 3: with the same record, maybe just go with the team

1294
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 3: that won on the field where this man used to

1295
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 3: run the rock for USC, back when they didn't complain

1296
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 3: about playing Notre Dame. Now that was a privilege as

1297
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,919
Speaker 3: much a privilege is being mocked by Petros some money

1298
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 3: for doing a late night podcast. I should be so lucky,

1299
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 3: and we are right now having college football analyst Petros Papadaki.

1300
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 4: Is here on F and A on fsr P. What's up.

1301
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,479
Speaker 1: Good morning? Hello, I mean good evening, I mean yes, hello,

1302
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: it's morning.

1303
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 2: Depending on the side of the country you may be

1304
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 2: sitting on right now, it's all good, it's all gooppy

1305
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 2: to be here, Thank you, ping, Happy to have you.

1306
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 2: So since Adam brought it up, we haven't had a

1307
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 2: chance to talk to you about where the committee sits

1308
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 2: in their rankings at the moment when it comes to

1309
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 2: Miami in Notre Dame. Do you find it interesting that

1310
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: Miami has the head to head over Notre Dame, yet

1311
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: they are ranked behind them in the CFP.

1312
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then public reaction like this will flip it

1313
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 11: back and we'll see what happens in the games.

1314
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: But it's all manufactured. I mean, it's the wagging of

1315
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: the dog.

1316
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 11: It's ESPN that owns the playoff, that owns the twenty

1317
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 11: four hours of coverage, that owns the SEC and it's

1318
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 11: all just a ridiculous conversation leading up to these games.

1319
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 11: And it's interesting because people used to scream and yell

1320
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 11: about how if you made the playoff, bigger people weren't

1321
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 11: going to argue like they did with the BCS, and

1322
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 11: it wouldn't be as fun, but you can totally see

1323
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 11: that there's still a lot of arguments and giant fan

1324
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 11: bases up in arms. And if the chaos part of

1325
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 11: college football is what you like about it, then this

1326
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 11: has been a great year. There's no doubt about it.

1327
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 11: We haven't talked enough about what happened on I mean,

1328
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 11: it's probably ironic because, like you said, what happened on

1329
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 11: the field was Miami beat Notre Dame early in the year,

1330
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 11: and then Notre Dame had no margin of era for

1331
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 11: the rest of the year and had to win out.

1332
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 11: But the biggest stories all year long in college football

1333
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,760
Speaker 11: weren't really on the field related. They were about coaches

1334
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 11: getting fired. There about coaches being bought out. They were

1335
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 11: about CAA and coaching searches and extensions for coaches and

1336
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 11: all of this different stuff that really kind of stole

1337
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 11: the headlines from the young people playing. So it's been

1338
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 11: an interesting year. But the chaos reigns supreme, as it

1339
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 11: always does.

1340
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 4: It's like the NBA, who cares about the actual games?

1341
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: But let's like that it's kind of been that way.

1342
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 3: Let's say BYU loses to Texas Tech Pe and now

1343
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 3: they're right next to one another Notre Dame in Miami.

1344
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 4: Could they have a change of heart. Could there be

1345
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 4: enough pressure.

1346
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 11: I've seen it happen a bunch of times where the

1347
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 11: committee does something all year and then all of a sudden,

1348
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 11: public sentiment will be a certain way, and then they'll

1349
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 11: switch two teams and everybody will argue about it, and

1350
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 11: ESPN will send out an army of proxies like Chris

1351
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 11: Fowler and Kirk kurb Street to tell you everything's on

1352
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 11: the up and up, and then somebody there will argue

1353
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 11: that maybe it's not, and they'll have the argument with

1354
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 11: each other, and then they'll put the game on their

1355
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 11: own network with their own pregame show, and they're all

1356
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 11: represented by the same agency and they own the whole thing.

1357
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 11: So it's fine. It's fun to talk about. I'm glad

1358
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 11: that the Playoff is thriving. It's fun to have more

1359
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 11: games that mean more. As the year goes on, they're

1360
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 11: probably going to expand the Playoff because there's more money

1361
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 11: to be made and the championships will go away. As

1362
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 11: far as the championship games and college football, as we've

1363
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 11: talked about, probably needs a stronger governing body than Fox

1364
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 11: under the Mask of the Big Ten and vice versa

1365
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 11: with ESPEN and the i SEC.

1366
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: But that's who's in charge right now. They have made

1367
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: some steps.

1368
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 11: Revenue sharing on a lot of teams and the SEC

1369
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 11: agreeing to play another conference game, and some uniformity is

1370
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 11: taking shape closing one of the transfer portals. So there

1371
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 11: are some good things happening. But if you enjoy chaos,

1372
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 11: then this month is for you well.

1373
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: As you brought up earlier, though, it's just very noisy

1374
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 2: during the season with all the stuff happening, the coaching changes,

1375
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 2: the early signing period was earlier this week. Even though

1376
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 2: yes they've shrunk down the transfer portal period to just

1377
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 2: one isolated situation, it's still during the college football playoff.

1378
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 2: There's still games going on while that's happening. You mentioned

1379
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 2: that we're kind of getting a little bit closer to

1380
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: some uniformity. But when you have all these different conferences

1381
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 2: and all these commissioners and all these TV deals, a

1382
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 2: lot of different people serving different masters, is there a

1383
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 2: way outside of having one giant governing body that we

1384
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: can hone all this in and just have the focus

1385
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 2: be on on the field and they have all the

1386
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 2: off field stuff happened after the season ends.

1387
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 11: No, there's not, because the off field stuff drives the

1388
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 11: ratings of the infield stuff, on field stuff and all

1389
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 11: the shows that are built around it, and everybody trying

1390
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 11: to maximize their investment in having the rights to the game. So,

1391
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 11: like you said, I don't think when you're talking about universities,

1392
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 11: they're all so vastly different.

1393
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: That's what makes college football cool.

1394
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 11: The region and the place and the school and the

1395
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 11: style of football and the fit they all still matter.

1396
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: Even in the transfer portal era and the NIL era.

1397
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: All of that stuff is still evident in the sport.

1398
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 11: So the fact that all of those things kind of

1399
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 11: feed into each other, I don't think you're going to

1400
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 11: be able. I mean to say that there's some uniformity

1401
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 11: is not me saying that things are great. It's an

1402
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 11: absolute mess, and that's what you get when the TV

1403
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 11: networks are in charge.

1404
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't run like the NFL. It's not going to

1405
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: run like the NFL. But if you like the.

1406
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 11: Regional nature of the fan bases and college football, I

1407
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 11: would say that that character of the sport has kind

1408
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 11: of survived through all of this chaos, and it's fun

1409
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,439
Speaker 11: to talk about these places like Ole Miss and people

1410
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 11: sending out tweets saying, look, it's another episode of as

1411
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 11: the Trailer Park turns, and then all the ls screaming,

1412
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 11: red faced LSU people when Kiffin's private jets shows up

1413
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 11: and so on and so forth. So you know, whatever

1414
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 11: is happening at Penn State and that fan base is

1415
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 11: up in arms, and all the people connected to the

1416
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 11: area have been swooped up by either UCLA or re

1417
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 11: signed by Nebraska and all that. So it's it's still

1418
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 11: fun to cover, but there's there's a lot there, and

1419
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 11: it's it's everything. It's a whole cauldron of bad and

1420
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 11: good like it always has been. And when you talk

1421
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 11: about different universities with different sets of rules and constitutions

1422
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 11: and really the calendar of how school works, because this

1423
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 11: is all still wrapped up in institutions of education, you

1424
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 11: know you're gonna have a hard time getting everybody on

1425
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 11: the same page.

1426
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: And that's always been the case.

1427
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to Lane Kiffin in a second. But

1428
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 2: since you brought up Penn State, why did it seem

1429
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: like nobody wanted that job, or at least so it seems.

1430
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 11: Well what they're saying, Well, first of all, it's hard

1431
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 11: to James Franklin won a lot, sure did so if

1432
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 11: you hire I mean, yeah, he didn't win big games,

1433
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 11: and he was probably a bit of an a hole,

1434
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 11: which probably didn't help. But and who knows what he

1435
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 11: was like behind the scenes. It feels like if somebody

1436
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,959
Speaker 11: was difficult behind the scenes, then somebody is more apt

1437
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 11: at these big schools to come up with a bunch

1438
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 11: of money and buy them out. It's not like it's

1439
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 11: costing the school any money. Somebody ponied up that cash.

1440
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 11: It's rumored in this case to be Adidas, I think.

1441
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 11: But the thing is is the guy that's replacing him

1442
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 11: is going to have to win all the games that

1443
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 11: they're supposed to win and beat Ohio State and Michigan too,

1444
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 11: and that's the tall order. So and there's the rumors

1445
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 11: that because James Franklin's a Jimmy Sexton guy, Jimmy Sexton

1446
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 11: is making sure that no one else gets that job

1447
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 11: and gets extended at their other places and all that.

1448
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of rumors about it.

1449
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 11: But but I guess it's because it's going to be

1450
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 11: a tough guy to replace, kind of like Nick Saban

1451
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 11: and Kaylin de Boor. And then the secondary part of

1452
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 11: that is maybe there's some behind the scenes effery going

1453
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 11: on keeping him whoever he is, out of that job

1454
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 11: and keeping them from having a coach during the signing period,

1455
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 11: which is got a funny.

1456
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 3: Well and p it looks like it's gonna be Matt

1457
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 3: Campbell Corn to Bruce Feldman. At least they're fine.

1458
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: I like him.

1459
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 11: I like him. He's a good coach, and he probably

1460
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 11: isn't connected to Jimmy Sexton.

1461
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I would guess probably not if that rumor is true.

1462
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 11: And I've been trying to get Matt Campbell hired over

1463
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 11: on the West Coast for years, so I think it's

1464
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 11: a good hire. I don't know if he's going to

1465
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 11: win as much as Franklin did, but maybe a breath

1466
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 11: of fresh air for everybody in a happy valley, let's hope.

1467
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing, because the ad when he made

1468
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 2: the change and he went up in grants that and

1469
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 2: to say we're going to bring in a new coach

1470
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 2: that's great at recruiting, which Franklin was good at, by

1471
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 2: the way, and is gonna win all these big games.

1472
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 2: All due respect to Matt Campbell, who we all like

1473
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 2: and think he's a good coach. Someone asked him last week,

1474
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 2: you know you didn't win the Big Twelve this year.

1475
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: It was a disappointing season. He says, it wasn't disappointing

1476
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 2: to me. That was your expectation, not mine. I just

1477
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 2: don't want to be good every single day. You can't

1478
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 2: sell that to a Penn State fan base that's looking

1479
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 2: to compete for championships.

1480
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: In the Big Twelve.

1481
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 11: No, and Ames Iowa was a different place, and he

1482
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 11: turned Iowa, stayed around and made them no longer a walkover,

1483
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 11: Like you got to play that game and they might

1484
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 11: beat you, and they might dominate you. And he was

1485
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 11: very innovative in the world of the Big Twelve. His

1486
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,919
Speaker 11: defensive coordinator bringing the well A lot of people called

1487
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 11: it big nickel, but having like one of those big

1488
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 11: old's safeties way back but up into the line of

1489
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 11: scrimmage immediately as a run support guy. They always had

1490
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 11: a great player doing that, and it was very innovative.

1491
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 11: A lot of people started doing that in the Big Twelve.

1492
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 11: How does all that translate to the Big Ten? I

1493
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 11: guess we're going to find out.

1494
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 4: So you brought up Lane Kiff in a little bit.

1495
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 4: You bring up all the chaos. He is the agent

1496
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 4: of chaos.

1497
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 3: What did you make of the way he left and

1498
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 3: the propaganda as you were saying on Twitter during the

1499
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 3: entire thing.

1500
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 11: Well, it's just that everybody's connected. And then they go

1501
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 11: on TV and act like they're not. I mean to

1502
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 11: be giving somebody advice behind the scenes and then going

1503
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 11: on TV like Nick Saban or Herb Street or whatever

1504
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 11: and saying that old miss should let this guy coach

1505
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 11: even though he's taken another job. That's egregious, that's crazy,

1506
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:50,959
Speaker 11: and everybody sees it, and nobody really is I guess

1507
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 11: that offended by it, or there's just a few and

1508
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 11: then they go on their all shows and have an

1509
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 11: argument all their own shows and argue with each other

1510
01:04:58,400 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 11: about it.

1511
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I guess.

1512
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know what it means, but a

1513
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 11: lot of the stuff with Kiffin is I mean, he's shown.

1514
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: Everybody what he's like for many many years.

1515
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 11: This has been the same guy that he was when

1516
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 11: I met him in two thousand and one, and circumstances

1517
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 11: made him a very hot coach, and he's done some

1518
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 11: very good things. I don't think the demand for Kiffin

1519
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 11: is relative to how good he really is. I think

1520
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 11: the circumstance of the situation has built into a storm.

1521
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 4: He's never really won anything. No, all due respect to him,

1522
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 4: I mean, but you know, and.

1523
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 11: People say, well, logo, look what happened with al Davis.

1524
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 11: But you know, al Davis didn't have to do the

1525
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 11: overhead thing like he did. USC didn't have to fire

1526
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 11: him on a tarmac. They could have just fired him.

1527
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 11: You know, that was al Davis. I mean, yeah, Kiffin

1528
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 11: probably got himself fired by being himself, but al Davis

1529
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 11: created that mythology not laying Kiffin us. He listened to

1530
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 11: a donor and fired and wouldn't let him back in

1531
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 11: the office for whatever reason, and created this weird mythology

1532
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 11: about that. Now, the other stuff that happened at Tennessee

1533
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 11: and all the other chaos around him, you could put

1534
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 11: that on him, but that stuff.

1535
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Way early in his career.

1536
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 11: Yes, he was being himself and getting himself fired, which

1537
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 11: he had done twice in September, which is very hard

1538
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 11: to do. But the fact that al Davis gave some

1539
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 11: crazy old man rambling speech about probably a bunch of

1540
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 11: stuff that was dead right about Kiffin and that USC

1541
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 11: fired him on a tarmac for no good reason other

1542
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 11: than to create an entire narrative about every time a

1543
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 11: coach loses on the road, he's going to get fired

1544
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 11: on the tarmac.

1545
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Those other things, they're all vintage Kiffin.

1546
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 11: But that stuff that happened way back in the day,

1547
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 11: it's just kind of gets lumped in with the rest

1548
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 11: of it. But it's not all his fault. And probably

1549
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 11: that's the case at Old Miss and LSU too. It's

1550
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 11: the agents, it's ESPN, it's all they all these donors,

1551
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 11: people involved with millions of dollars that want to be

1552
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 11: involved with college football.

1553
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: It's all. It's all in the cauldron.

1554
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 11: But Lane Kiffin is I don't think it's going to

1555
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 11: end pretty at LSU, but they might get something out

1556
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 11: of it. We'll see what happens. But I don't I

1557
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 11: don't think he's a championship coach, but we'll see.

1558
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 3: Do you think it's an interesting decision just because I mean, obviously,

1559
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 3: as teams in the playoff, he could win a national championship.

1560
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 3: He built this you see signetti staying at Indiana. He

1561
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 3: could go somewhere else.

1562
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Why a lot of money?

1563
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 3: Sure, why not just build your own legacy, make that LSU.

1564
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be more impressive?

1565
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Well, I guess.

1566
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 11: I mean, but LSU is pretty is the top of

1567
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 11: the ladder for a lot of college football people and

1568
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 11: their thoughts and Signetti and Kiffin are very different, I

1569
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 11: would say. And Kiffin is constantly moving around and constantly

1570
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 11: wearing people out and constantly wearing out his welcome in

1571
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 11: many ways. You don't hear a lot of people weeping

1572
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 11: about it in old miss and saying nice things about

1573
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 11: him or saying what a man of integrity he was there.

1574
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: So I think that all of.

1575
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 11: These situations are individual, and you know the sad part

1576
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 11: about it. I never feel bad for a guy that

1577
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 11: gets tens of millions of dollars to go away, But

1578
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 11: I do feel bad about the staffs and their kids

1579
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 11: and all these other people that get moved around the country.

1580
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: That's not easy.

1581
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 2: Petris Papadeka is joining us here on Fox Football Saturday,

1582
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures and Adam Alston with you know, we're talking

1583
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 2: about the lack of attention that the on field product

1584
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 2: is getting behind all of the coaching changes and everything else.

1585
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 2: Do you think that there just isn't necessarily a standout player.

1586
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 2: When we talk about the Heisman race this year, it's

1587
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 2: pretty I would say it's wide open. But you know,

1588
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 2: you look up for Anna Mendoza, you look at a

1589
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 2: love from Notre Dame, but there's no one who really

1590
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 2: jumps off those the sheet at you as far as

1591
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 2: a slam dung Heisman guy. Do you wonder because there's

1592
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 2: not giant individual performances or somebody that stands out that

1593
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 2: kind of takes away from it this year.

1594
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 11: It kind of reminds me of the year that Carson

1595
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 11: Palmer had in two thousand.

1596
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: And two and won the Heisman, where no one really knew.

1597
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 11: There was the great running back Larry Johnson, and there

1598
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 11: was Dorsey McGahee.

1599
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1600
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, Dorsey was the head coach, excuse me, the quarterback

1601
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 11: at Miami and they had a great supporting cast around him.

1602
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: But I remember being.

1603
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 11: Close to that USC team and it felt like Carson

1604
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 11: was on a Heisman run right to us, even though

1605
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 11: no one else in the country was really feeling it.

1606
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: He ended up winning.

1607
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 11: But I think it's probably the same inside Indiana, you know,

1608
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 11: inside Notre Dame when it comes to love and so

1609
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 11: on and so forth.

1610
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 1: So but yeah, You're right.

1611
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 11: Nationally, no one's really grabbed the reins of it because

1612
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 11: we're too busy arguing about James Franklin's bald head. So

1613
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 11: to me, cookies, yeah, yeah, to me, I think that

1614
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 11: it's Ferdie Mendoza. Uh, that that should win it or

1615
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 11: will win it, and it'll be a hell.

1616
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: Of a speech. He's very good with the media.

1617
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 11: But I love the running back as well, and a

1618
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 11: Notre Dame Heisman winner like Tim Brown is always really

1619
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 11: cool and creates a lot of mythology.

1620
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: So we'll see, uh, we'll see how it shakes out.

1621
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 11: But no, it's not a year where everybody's really tripping

1622
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:36,799
Speaker 11: out about the Heisman.

1623
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 2: Well, before we let you run, can we actually talk

1624
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: about some football didn't played on the field this weekend,

1625
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 2: you know, championship weekend for the love of God, so

1626
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 2: majorly majorly in the Big Ten, because I really think

1627
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 2: on paper, like it doesn't really matter who wins the game.

1628
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 2: Indiana might care about winning the Big Ten championship and

1629
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 2: having a leg up on Ohio State. Ohio State probably

1630
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 2: just wants to make sure they make out of it,

1631
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: you know, healthy. But as far as Mendoza, Julian's saying

1632
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 2: the quarterback for Ohio State's put up some really good nonumbers.

1633
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 2: A lot of people think that that might be a

1634
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,560
Speaker 2: de facto Heisman Trophy square off. Just how do you

1635
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 2: view the Indiana versus Ohio State matchup and how motivated

1636
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 2: these kids will be to even play in this game

1637
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 2: knowing that in the grand scheme it won't really matter.

1638
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, I think a conference championship for Indiana

1639
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 11: and where they've come from and their past is still meaningful,

1640
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 11: and that does bang the question what does it mean

1641
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 11: to Ohio State other than the fact that they might

1642
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 11: end up playing each other again or the Big Ten

1643
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 11: supremacy is a really big deal.

1644
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: I think it's going to matter. I think the teams are.

1645
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 11: Going to take the field and it'll be a pretty

1646
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 11: good game, and I'm watching very closely. I think it'll

1647
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 11: be a lot of fun. And I think that there'll

1648
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,839
Speaker 11: be less volume of games obviously with the championship weekend,

1649
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 11: and people will come to appreciate it. But as the

1650
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,440
Speaker 11: playoff grows and as we try to create more uniformity,

1651
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 11: it's probably something that will go away. But I think

1652
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 11: obviously Ohio State probably will have the advance in this

1653
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,600
Speaker 11: game because they're so talented top to bottom and that

1654
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 11: they've dominated the whole year. But you could say the

1655
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 11: same about Indiana. They've done miraculous things that Kurt Signette's done,

1656
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 11: and what he's done has changed the expectations for a

1657
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 11: lot of other coaches all around the country.

1658
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to it.

1659
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 3: Georgia Obama. Let's say, let's say Alabama gets smoked. B

1660
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 3: why you get smoked?

1661
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 4: Is there a chance Miami and Notre Day both get in?

1662
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, I'm sure that whatever the consensus will

1663
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 11: be the bunch of athletic directors and their interns eating

1664
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 11: at an omelet bar in a four seasons, we'll do

1665
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:49,600
Speaker 11: something and somebody's gonna end up getting super buttered about it,

1666
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 11: and that's okay. I'll end up playing in a Bowl

1667
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,839
Speaker 11: game and the world will keep on turning and millions

1668
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 11: and millions of dollars will be circulated and it'll just

1669
01:12:59,280 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 11: keep on happening.

1670
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't, I don't.

1671
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 11: It's very hard to know where these teams are at

1672
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 11: as the year goes on. It's even harder when they

1673
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 11: have more than a week off. So when you're playing

1674
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 11: one week, right after the season's over, feels like a

1675
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 11: pretty good gauge of where people are in December. It's

1676
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 11: a long time to play, so I think that these

1677
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,640
Speaker 11: games will have weight on what the committee does. And

1678
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 11: the committee's just a bunch of people like us that

1679
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 11: are bending to opinion, and that's why we probably don't

1680
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 11: need them, but.

1681
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: They're going to make a decision. But yeah, well there'll

1682
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: be a lot of intrigue, adam for everybody involved.

1683
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, line, I said, it was my last question, but

1684
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 2: I just thought of this because USC did get the

1685
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 2: number one recruiting class in the country, which is a

1686
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 2: pretty big deal. First time since what two thousand and six,

1687
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 2: I believe they've done such a thing.

1688
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 11: We've been critical two thousand and six, everybody recruited out

1689
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 11: of high school.

1690
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 4: Now it's yeah, exactly.

1691
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 2: Well, my question too, was how big of a deal

1692
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 2: is because you can get as many four and five

1693
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 2: stars at this point as you want. But I mean,

1694
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 2: if those guys aren't playing in year one, they're just

1695
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 2: going to leave the next year. So retention is just

1696
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:07,879
Speaker 2: as important as recruiting.

1697
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 11: Retention is the big word that everybody uses now that

1698
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 11: we didn't even use before. That's a bigger deal than recruiting.

1699
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 11: And obviously you want to recruit from high school and

1700
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 11: develop on your own players, but keeping them if they're

1701
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 11: not happy or if somebody's trying to poach your.

1702
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: Team is not easy either.

1703
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 11: I would say having the number one recruiting class back

1704
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 11: in two thousand and six is.

1705
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: A lot bigger deal than it is now.

1706
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 11: And even back in two thousand and six, there was

1707
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 11: maybe one or two guys on that class that we're

1708
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 11: going to contribute for you as true freshmen, and that's

1709
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 11: probably still the case, if not even more, because the

1710
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 11: people are striving to stay in college football longer, play

1711
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 11: college football, longer, getting exemptions for extra years, JC years,

1712
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 11: all these different things that are happening. Being twenty three

1713
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 11: playing college football was really old back when I was playing,

1714
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 11: and now it's it's not so freshmen are even less

1715
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 11: likely to contribute in the in the transfer portal nil era.

1716
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 11: So congratulations to USC and their GM with the number

1717
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 11: one recruiting class. I guess it doesn't mean as much,

1718
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 11: but at a place like USC, when they hired a

1719
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 11: GM specifically to recruit local talent and keep them in LA,

1720
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 11: which is what they did, you could say that that

1721
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 11: certainly does deserve celebration.

1722
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 3: Maybe it'll help them be to Oregon and get that

1723
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 3: West Coast crown.

1724
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: Check until they get their own offensive linemen and develop them.

1725
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 4: You're right.

1726
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 3: Here's Petros Papadaga's college football expert for Big Fox and

1727

1729

Speaker 4: Yeah, p s being so cranky yesterday.

1730
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh it's okay, I understand.

1731
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 4: I heard you guys got into it. It's the holidays.

1732
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get into it with anybody. I'm a happy guy.

1733
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 4: Thank you, Petey, much appreciated brother. We'll talk to you soon.

1734
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 11: All right, I'm gonna go get on a zoom with

1735
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 11: Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan's.

1736
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 4: Who go all wait for the Instagram story?

1737
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 3: Hell medj see, I could see that happening tonight.

1738
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:15,680
Speaker 4: Is CP three duncan on him?

1739
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 7: Now?

1740
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 4: They lost the game without him? Or do you know

1741
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 4: CP three can get up high enough to dunkle anybody?

1742
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 3: Oh? Sorry, hey, you remember when he caught Dwight Howard

1743
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,879
Speaker 3: though back in the day was playing for the Hornets.

1744
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 3: That was one of the greatest NBA calls of all time.

1745
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 3: I forget who the commentator was, but he was.

1746
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 4: Like, come here, right, come guess some of this. Oh

1747
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:35,839
Speaker 4: not Dwight Howard.

Speaker 4: You You Me, you Me, It was you. It's me

1765
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 4: entire time.

1766
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 2: Trap Game Tap a favorite who may be in trouble

1767
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 2: or facing a trap game. This week, I'm going with

1768
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks on the road, taking on the Atlanta Falcons. Now,

1769
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 2: before last week's game against the Vikings, I gave Sam

1770
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 2: Darnold all the credit in the world for bouncing back

1771
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 2: and playing okay against Tennessee in a victory, because you

1772
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: never know how guys who haven't had a lot of

1773
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 2: sustained success in their careers are going to respond to

1774
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 2: poor outings.

1775
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 3: Especially guys that said they once were seeing Ghost South

1776
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 3: exactly admitting that.

1777
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 2: So I placed the emphasis on he played okay against

1778
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 2: the Titans, because last week against the Vikings, not so much.

1779
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: Seattle won going away, but it was because of their defense.

1780
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 2: Donald fourteen of sixteen passing just one hundred and twenty

1781
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 2: eight yards, no touchdown, and he lost to fumble. You

1782
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 2: could say that was because he went up against Brian

1783
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 2: Flores and a Vikings defense that saw him all last year.

1784
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 4: Sure, why not.

1785
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 2: But you could also say that maybe there's a book

1786
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 2: on him too, and the other teams have seen that

1787
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 2: and they can actually use that against them. The level

1788
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 2: of competition, the intensity of games, all that's going to

1789
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 2: ramp up now later in the season. And we saw

1790
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 2: our Donald played down the stretch last year in these situations.

1791
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 4: I heard that books titled Sam Donald Soft.

1792
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: It could be.

1793
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 4: Here's why. Well, here's the thing.

1794
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 2: So now they hit the road, they take on Atlanta.

1795
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 2: They're playing out the string at this point in time.

1796
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 2: They have nothing to play for other than Raheem Worris

1797
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 2: trying to save his job, which I think is very

1798
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 2: much in question here at the end of the season.

1799
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 2: And if I look out over the horizon on the

1800
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 2: seahawks remaining schedule, I'm not gonna call it a gauntlet,

1801
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 2: but they will be facing a group of teams that

1802
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 2: all have something to play for. After this Sunday, they

1803
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 2: host the Colts and Rams and back to back weeks,

1804
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 2: huge games for everybody involved there. Then they finish on

1805
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 2: the road against Carolina, who's probably still going to be

1806
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 2: in a fight with Tampa for the NFC South, then

1807
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 2: on the road against the forty nine ers, and again,

1808
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 2: and that could be either the NFC West Championship game,

1809
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 2: depending on what happens with the Rams, or nothing else,

1810
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 2: a battle for seating or potentially a battle for a

1811
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 2: playoff spot in general. So this game in Atlanta has

1812
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:12,600
Speaker 2: I know it's a cupcake, it looks like that on

1813
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 2: their schedule, but this is kind of where nut.

1814
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 4: Cutting time begins.

1815
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 2: To steal a phrase from a from a football gods,

1816
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 2: if you want to say, is that basically yes?

1817
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 3: So some we're saying nut up, though some are saying

1818
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 3: it's not up to not cutting. Some are saying nut up.

1819
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 3: I heard that from Dan Lanning in the fourth quarter

1820
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago with the Oregon.

1821
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 2: I haven't heard the time the nut up, but you know,

1822
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 2: if it works for Dan Lanning, fine by me works

1823
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 2: for me?

1824
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:37,600
Speaker 4: Are we letting them hang or are they going up?

1825
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 6: He's nuts?

1826
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 2: Well, we have to make sure they get a secure

1827
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 2: victory here against Atlanta for what comes ahead. But I

1828
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 2: don't know if they'll be able to do that. It's

1829
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:47,759
Speaker 2: not fair to them. They don't make their own schedule.

1830
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,640
Speaker 2: But Seattle a three and two record against teams that

1831
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 2: are five hundred are better, which is fine. You'd much

1832
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 2: rather be on the plus side than on the minus side.

1833
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 2: But that also means they have they have cleaned up

1834
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 2: against lower tier competition for the majority of the season.

1835
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 2: So that's possibly a good omen as they hit into

1836
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,640
Speaker 2: tomorrow's game in Atlanta, or it could serve as a

1837
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 2: major letdown game for them as they get ready to

1838
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 2: hit what will be a tough home stretch here at

1839
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 2: the end of the season, So I know it looks

1840
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 2: like this should be a gimme and may I do

1841
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 2: the expect them to win, but it will not surprise

1842
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 2: me at all if Atlanta makes a bit of a

1843
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 2: game of this one.

1844
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 3: Plus Atlanta has been funky all season long. It's hard

1845
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 3: to get a read on them or beat on them.

1846
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 4: In this case.

1847
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 3: Now it's easier to get a read on passes from

1848
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins. I guess this is true, and that makes

1849
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:29,839
Speaker 3: things a little.

1850
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 4: Bit easier for them.

1851
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, I agree, this could be a problem. This

1852
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 3: could be a trap game. And by the way, does

1853
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,520
Speaker 3: anyone have more pressure on them than Sam Darnold because.

1854
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 4: Everything else is set up. They're ready. They are if

1855
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 4: you play well, they can win a Super Bowl. Or

1856
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 4: defense is where it needs to be.

1857
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 2: You're able to run the ball, can't you make the

1858
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,600
Speaker 2: plays that are necessary when it matters most down the

1859
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:52,879
Speaker 2: stretch of the season. Coming up next, we will continue

1860
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 2: the NFL six Pack here on FSR. You're listening to

1861
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Radio well hour of Fox Football Saturday

Speaker 2: with FNA.

1863
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 4: I'm Kevin Figures.

01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 2: He is Adam Allston, you can hit us up on

1865
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 2: x at kfig one and at follow Adam A. Coming

1866
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 2: up in just a little bit, we'll get into a

1867
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 2: college football forecast. We'll talk about the Lane Kiffin situation

1868
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,679
Speaker 2: transitioning from Old Miss to LSU. We got championship weekend

1869
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 2: across college football as well coming up, so we'll get

1870
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 2: into that coming up in about twenty minutes or so.

1871
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 3: More NFL six Pack. I got my trap game tap here.

1872
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: Mark trap game tap.

1873
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 3: You know, because of my friends Pat and Andy. Growing up,

1874
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 3: I always viewed the Raiders and Broncos as more of

1875
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 3: a rivalry than the Raiders and Chiefs, which I think

1876
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 3: is where you stand.

1877
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 1: All right.

1878
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 4: I think the Chiefs are the biggest rival. I was

1879
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 4: raised to hate the Chiefs. Okay fair, But.

1880
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 3: Because of that, I'm going with this is my trap

1881
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 3: game tap. I told you all last week I thought

1882
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 3: the Commander's Broncos game could be a good one because

1883
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 3: Denver will play down to their opponents since really their

1884
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 3: offense just isn't that good to pull away from anyone.

1885
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 3: They've already been in a close game with the Raiders,

1886
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 3: like I don't know, a month.

1887
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:08,719
Speaker 4: Ago, two weeks ago, about a month ago. It was ugly.

1888
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 3: Now the Broncos are going on the road, this time

1889
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 3: to Las Vegas, which is a fortress. They even have

1890
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 3: a castle there ex Caliber.

1891
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 4: Believe it or not.

1892
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 3: The Broncos are one in four in Vegas since the

1893
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 3: Raiders relocated there.

1894
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 4: The Raiders, they even will have two wins at home

1895
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:32,639
Speaker 4: this season, or at least one two. No, they got one.

1896
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 3: They got two wins on the season and one of

1897
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 3: those was at home because they won in Week one

1898
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 3: on the road in Foxborough and then they beat the Titans.

1899
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 4: That's not easy. I mean beating the Titans.

1900
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 3: You mean their name is the Titans. That's tough, man.

1901
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 3: You gotta be a good football team if you're name

1902
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 3: of the Titans.

1903
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 4: Raiders got that win.

1904
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm looking for a Geno Smith special where he throws

1905
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 3: only one pick and has only one loss fumble on

1906
01:22:58,320 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 3: Sunday against Denver.

1907
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 4: Willing to put money on that?

1908
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 3: Who's money exactly?

1909
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 2: I'll take the over on that turnovers? Hold on, here's

1910
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 2: that defense for Gino.

1911
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 3: Oh listen to this logic though, when they lost and

1912
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:15,600
Speaker 3: only had seven points against Denver a month ago, that

1913
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 3: was a completely different offensive coordinator for the Raiders.

1914
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:18,600
Speaker 1: I was.

1915
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 3: Gino Smith had his highest completion percentage of the season

1916
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 3: last week with Greg Olsen as his offensive coordinator. He

1917
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 3: was eighteen of twenty three nineteen of twenty three if

1918
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 3: you count the tipped interception down the left sideline.

1919
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1920
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 3: Sure, he only threw for one hundred and sixty five yards,

1921
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:39,639
Speaker 3: but he's been sacked twenty five times the last four games.

1922
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,839
Speaker 3: That actually should prepare him more for this Broncoast defense.

1923
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 3: Plus he already played him. No one is more prepared

1924
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 3: for one of the greatest defensive lines we've seen in

1925
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 3: modern football than Gino Smith. And I'm sorry, but Bo

1926
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 3: Nicks is still not impressing me. I'll ask the same

1927
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 3: question I asked last week. Is there really that much

1928
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 3: of a difference between bow Knicks and Marcus Mariota after

1929
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 3: what I saw?

1930
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1931
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 3: Marcus almost won that game, and they're both Oregon Ducks.

1932
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 3: But Bo Knicks, he's been saved by that Denver Broncos defense,

1933
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 3: because if you ever had to play against it, we're

1934
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 3: looking at like a ten pick game. He's lucky he's

1935
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 3: on that team. I'd hate to see what happens in practice.

1936
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 3: Could be rough, but I do think it could be

1937
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 3: a trap game for them in Vegas where they have struggled.

1938
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 4: I could see that. I also do.

1939
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,920
Speaker 2: I think the comparison for me, it's a little bit different,

1940
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 2: but I find it's more of t Bow to a degree.

1941
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 2: Now he's not been as bad through three quarters of

1942
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 2: games like Tebow was and finding ways to win games.

1943
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 4: But Bow knicks, I think has let like five game

1944
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 4: winning drives.

1945
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, so he has whatever quote unquote clutch

1946
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,759
Speaker 2: gene that you want to call it now for whatever reason,

1947
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: is not being consistent on a weekend, week out basis

1948
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 2: throughout the entirety of the game. But you have a

1949
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 2: defense that good with a quarterback that seems to be

1950
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 2: able to make plays when it matters most. You know,

1951
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 2: they might be able to make some noise and win

1952
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: some games and make some noise in the postseason when

1953
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:06,679
Speaker 2: it matters.

1954
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 3: We'll see like Tebow did once upon a time.

1955
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:11,839
Speaker 4: That's right, all right, want a playoff game against Pittsburgh

1956
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 4: Raider is not going to be making noise in the playoffs.

1957
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, or next year, next decade, or the year

1958
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 2: after that or the year after that, exactly.

1959
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 4: Next category mark beer goggles Kate the ugly matchup that

1960
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 4: might be entertaining.

1961
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:25,919
Speaker 2: I am going with the Tennessee Titans versus the Cleveland

1962
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 2: Browns just as game presents as ugly as it seems

1963
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 2: hard to put a positive spin on two and to

1964
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 2: nine verses one and ten. But there are some important

1965
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 2: things to watch, Adam, like what okay? Well, above anything,

1966
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 2: I think we've reached the self loathing part of the

1967
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 2: NFL calendar, where fans of bad teams start looking at

1968
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 2: tankathon dot com. You start researching the top five prospects

1969
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 2: in the draft, and this is a place where both

1970
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 2: of these franchises know all too well. So if you're

1971
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 2: a Titans fan or a Browns fan, you're kind of

1972
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,679
Speaker 2: looking for the same thing. That's how our rookie quarterbacks

1973
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 2: look as good as they possibly can in a losing effort,

1974
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 2: so the team can get as good of a draft

1975
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 2: pick as possible. So should George Sanders fell back down

1976
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 2: under earth last week like most people thought he would,

1977
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 2: although I'll be honest, he showed himself decently well at times,

1978
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 2: still held onto the ball way too long, which was

1979
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 2: a criticism of his coming out of Colorado. He did

1980
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 2: have that ninety yard touchdown drive before the end of

1981
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 2: the first half. That was pretty impressive. Now the rest

1982
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 2: of the game after that, not so much. But he's

1983
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 2: a rookie running out running with the scout team what

1984
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 2: three four weeks ago, So I think we can't allow well,

1985
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm just saying we cannot allow the outsized expectations of

1986
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 2: him based on what media types were saying to draft

1987
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 2: our judgment and talking about what he actually is, which

1988
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 2: is a rookie fifth round pick who just started taking

1989
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 2: starters reps two weeks ago. So, for those of you

1990
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 2: who aren't Titans fans and are simply gluttonous for pain

1991
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 2: or something like that, if you watch cam Ward at

1992
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 2: all this season, I think you can't be all that

1993
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 2: displeased with how he's looked. The team was devoid of

1994
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 2: many impactful weapons coming into the year. Calvin Ridley was

1995
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 2: their best playmaker. He's been hurt, and even when he

1996
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 2: was healthy, he was inconsistent. Their offensive line is ranked

1997
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 2: between twenty eighth and thirtieth, depending on what analytic metric

1998
01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 2: you decide to use, and the current ranking is actually

1999
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 2: account for the fact that the line has.

2000
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 4: Improved a lot since the start of the season.

2001
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 2: So what does that tell you? That they've improved and

2002
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 2: they're still thirtieth? So that tells you how bad their

2003
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 2: offensive line is.

2004
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 4: I didn't know that.

2005
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 2: So when you have two young quarterbacks trying to find

2006
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 2: their footing and are playing against poor competition, maybe there's

2007
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 2: a part of you as a casual that perks up

2008
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 2: a bit and hopes to see some of their talents

2009
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 2: on display. I'll also say another thing to watch for

2010
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 2: in this game. You know I mentioned how bat the

2011
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 2: Titans offensive line is. Guess who they have to line

2012
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 2: up against on Sunday, the man who is on the

2013
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 2: verge of shattering the NFL sack record.

2014
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 3: You know, this has to be one of the most

2015
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 3: underrated stories outside of Oklahoma City. Being twenty and one

2016
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,560
Speaker 3: and not getting talked about much in sports, this is

2017
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 3: the second most underrated story.

2018
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett will enter into tomorrow's game with nineteen sacks

2019
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 2: on the season. Now, the official league record is twenty

2020
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,679
Speaker 2: two and a half sacks for a single season that's

2021
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 2: shared by Michael Strahan and TJ.

2022
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 5: Watt.

2023
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 2: Now, the unofficial record, according to Pro Football Focus, is

2024
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 2: twenty sacks by Bubba Baker, who did it as a

2025
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 2: rookie in nineteen seventy eight, but sacks didn't become He

2026
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 2: was a really good player back in the day for

2027
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 2: the Vikings, but sacks didn't become an official stat until

2028
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two.

2029
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 4: So he just missed the cut line on that. Bubba

2030
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 4: got screwed.

2031
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:14,640
Speaker 1: Yes he did.

2032
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 3: Wow like Larry Bird, not knowing you could take threes

2033
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 3: his rookie here.

2034
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 2: So Garrett is on the verge of demolishing the sack

2035
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 2: record and considering who he's facing this weekend. Tell me, Adam,

2036
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 2: would it surprise you if he accomplished that feat in

2037
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:27,639
Speaker 2: this game?

2038
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 4: I'm expecting it.

2039
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 2: I mean, just not out of the Roman possibility. This

2040
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 2: guy can rack up three and a half five sacks and.

2041
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Break the record.

2042
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:36,560
Speaker 3: How about he puts it out of reach in this

2043
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 3: game and is up to thirty sacks.

2044
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 4: Why the hell not?

2045
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 2: That alone should be enough for you to tune in

2046
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,680
Speaker 2: to what otherwise will be a terrible game that we

2047
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 2: usually will pawn off on London or some other countries

2048
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 2: because nobody here wants to watch it, and.

2049
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 3: This does feel like a London Madrid type of games

2050
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 3: going on here.

2051
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 4: All right, my beer goggles.

2052
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:55,799
Speaker 1: Game, You're a has been in a drunk.

2053
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 3: The Rams maybe seven and a half point favorites on

2054
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 3: the road against Arizona, but with my beer goggles on,

2055
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:06,879
Speaker 3: I see a Rams team that is battered and broken

2056
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 3: in mind, spirit, body, everything. After losing to my Panthers

2057
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 3: last week Panthers again, that might have been the best

2058
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 3: Panthers win since they beat Arizona in the NFC Championship

2059
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,799
Speaker 3: to get to the Super Bowl back in twenty fifteen.

2060
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 3: When you lose a game to the Panthers like that,

2061
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 3: it forever changes you. It's like when Rogue got that

2062
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 3: gray streak in her hair from a traumatic experience in

2063
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,800
Speaker 3: X Men, Like I expect Matt Stafford's beard to look

2064
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 3: like Santas right now after what the Panthers did to him.

2065
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 4: He only had two picks on the season. He threw

2066
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 4: two picks in that game against.

2067
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 3: Carolina, one in the end zone and one for a

2068
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 3: pick six.

2069
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 4: And then what do you do to the end of

2070
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 4: the game, bumble?

2071
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, Vegas better of taking the Rams Super Bowl odds

2072
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 3: off the board because they can't win it now. After

2073
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:01,679
Speaker 3: losing to my Panthers, we ended the Sean McVay, Matthew

2074
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 3: Stafford bake Era last week, you'll see, and what's left

2075
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 3: of them?

2076
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 2: I realized you can kill a dynasty with a win

2077
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 2: week in a random week twelve game of the NFL.

2078
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 3: But yet here we are, Well Carolina Panthers, Bill Different

2079
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 3: keep pounding what's left of them.

2080
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 4: In LA with the Rams.

2081
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 3: They now have to face the Cardinals. Yes, who may

2082
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 3: only have one win since September, but they will have

2083
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 3: the power of the Panthers.

2084
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 4: Win over the Rams with them. I don't think that's

2085
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 4: how that works.

2086
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,600
Speaker 3: But all right, the spirit of the Panthers is in

2087
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 3: all of us after they won that game against the Rams, like,

2088
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:42,160
Speaker 3: we can achieve anything now because of the Panthers can

2089
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 3: beat the Rams, who everyone already had raising the Lombardi

2090
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,719
Speaker 3: Trophy last week. What can't we do in this world?

2091
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 3: The only people with limitations Saints fans. They only spirit

2092
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 3: of a Panther one is a spiller of T'Challa. All right,

2093
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 3: you're a lot of Panthers.

2094
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 4: Not so much for me. I take it back.

2095
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 3: The Saints can still achieve the number one taking in

2096
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 3: the draft.

2097
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 4: That's right, playing for something, all right? That's uh my

2098
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,080
Speaker 4: draft game? Tap mark?

2099
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:12,599
Speaker 1: What's next?

2100
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:33,639
Speaker 10: Oh my god? Oh my god. Oh I'm so sorry.

2101
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 2: Yes, the player or team with the epic failed potential

2102
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 2: coming up this weekend, and I'm going to go back

2103
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas in the game you talked about a

2104
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 2: couple of minutes ago at him with the Broncos taking

2105
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 2: on the Raiders. So you're probably gonna say this. You're

2106
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 2: not because I guess you kind of agree with me

2107
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 2: in this notion. But a lot of people are gonna say, Kevin,

2108
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:53,560
Speaker 2: you're just a Raider fan. You're shrouded by hatred of

2109
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:56,160
Speaker 2: the Broncos while wearing silver and black blinders. Yeah, and

2110
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 2: you know what, that's partially true, but there are some

2111
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 2: disturbing trends for this team. As great as they have

2112
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 2: been and with as many games as they've won, there

2113
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 2: are a few bounces away from being five hundred or worse.

2114
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 2: So since demolishing the Cowboys right before Halloween, they've won

2115
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 2: four games by a total of nine points.

2116
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 4: This is what bow Knicks had to defend the other day.

2117
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it is You're right, And look I defended

2118
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 2: him a second ago saying that he's had all these

2119
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 2: game winning drives. But I mean, if you look at

2120
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:22,639
Speaker 2: their season as a whole Seven of their nine wins

2121
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 2: have come by four points or less. Four of those

2122
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 2: seven wins have come against teams that aren't even sniffing

2123
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs right now. Now, there's two ways to look

2124
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 2: at it. You can say they have the clutch geen

2125
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 2: like I talked about a minute ago, and they find

2126
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,560
Speaker 2: ways to win games late, and that's an attribute that

2127
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 2: you need if you're going to have playoff success. You

2128
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 2: can look at it the other way and say that

2129
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 2: they've eked out so many wins this season against both

2130
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 2: good teams and bad teams, and that way of living

2131
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 2: in the NFL is just unsustainable.

2132
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:48,760
Speaker 3: Now.

2133
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:51,000
Speaker 2: Kansas City was able to sustain it all of last

2134
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 2: season and make it to the Super Bowl. We know

2135
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 2: they were eleven to zero and one score games last year,

2136
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 2: but they also had the comeback King and the ultimate

2137
01:32:57,560 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 2: finisher and Patrick Mahomes.

2138
01:32:58,800 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 1: On their side.

2139
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 2: So no disrespect to bow Nicks, but as you talked

2140
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 2: about a second ago, he's not on that level. He's

2141
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 2: more of a Tim Tebow type, at least at this

2142
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 2: point in his career. He's a better player than Tebow,

2143
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 2: and I think he's going to end up being a

2144
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 2: good starting quarterback. But right now, the inconsistency is just

2145
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 2: too much to ignore at this point in time. So

2146
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 2: as they get ready to have to Vegas to play

2147
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 2: a Raiders team that's playing out the string, I do

2148
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 2: think there's potential for an upset. You mentioned earlier the

2149
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 2: ten to seven game on that Thursday night about a

2150
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 2: month or so ago, and really Denver only got that

2151
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:27,519
Speaker 2: field goal to take a ten to seven lead because

2152
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 2: the Raiders had a punt and blocked backed up on

2153
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 2: their own end.

2154
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:32,679
Speaker 4: Forgot about that. That was literally the only reason.

2155
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 2: Why Denver got the field goal to get ten points.

2156
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 2: That game goes overtime tied at seven apiece.

2157
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:38,679
Speaker 3: They deserved a loss in that game.

2158
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 2: Both teams deserve to lose. That should have been a tie,

2159
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 2: to be honest with you. So maybe that was a

2160
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 2: wake up call for Denver. They took the Raiders lightly,

2161
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 2: and that won't happen here because we all know that

2162
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 2: they're clearly the better team. But based on their history,

2163
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 2: I adventure to say that this is just the DNA

2164
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 2: of this Broncos team. Now they still have a month

2165
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:57,120
Speaker 2: to continue to refine who they are, and maybe they

2166
01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:58,960
Speaker 2: look a little bit more formidable when it comes to

2167
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,599
Speaker 2: tomorrow in Las Vegas. And as our colleague and former

2168
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 2: Bronco eph Salam did tell us, anything can happened in

2169
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 2: the Raider Bronco robbery, and I expect this one to

2170
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,799
Speaker 2: be a nail bier, not because I'm a myopic Raider fan, Adam,

2171
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 2: but because that has been the identity of this Bronco

2172
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 2: team all season long.

2173
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're living on a razor's edge. Eventually you get cut. Yeah,

2174
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 3: all right, my ols Troy epic failed potential game. I

2175
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 3: guess we're flip flopping here. You just talked about this one.

2176
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 3: We both took the Browns to cover last week at

2177
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:29,240
Speaker 3: home against the Niners.

2178
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 4: That did not happen, dumb ass.

2179
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 3: I think they were getting five points and they lost

2180
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 3: by eighteen.

2181
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 4: Five and a half. I believe it was we were

2182
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 4: getting five and a half and they lost by eighteen.

2183
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 3: Shador Sanders did have a more legitimate touchdown pass in

2184
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 3: that game where he actually had to push the ball

2185
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:49,720
Speaker 3: down the field this time.

2186
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 4: Good to see.

2187
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 3: What's funny to me is that was early in the

2188
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:57,320
Speaker 3: game they win for two, and going for two that

2189
01:34:57,479 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 3: early in the game, I'm fine with it. If you're

2190
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:01,960
Speaker 3: admitted to it. The analytics say do it.

2191
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 4: It seems unnecessary to me. By whatever, I'm not gonna

2192
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:05,280
Speaker 4: hate on you too hard for well.

2193
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 3: In this case, it's just comical when at the end

2194
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:10,320
Speaker 3: of the game you lose by a final score of

2195
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 3: twenty six to eight, and it's like, yeah, a good thing.

2196
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 3: We went for the two point conversion early on, as

2197
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,559
Speaker 3: if they thought it was gonna be a close game. Well,

2198
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 3: the time that you did it, sure that extra point

2199
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 3: is going to be the difference maker. Here they lost

2200
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:24,600
Speaker 3: twenty six to eight, So here we go.

2201
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 4: It's uh. Now the Browns in a game.

2202
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 3: Against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. This has oh Troy

2203
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 3: epic failed potential because how many times are the Browns

2204
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 3: ever favored by five points?

2205
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 2: Ever, you could have just ended the sentence with how

2206
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 2: many times are the Browns ever favored and just ended there.

2207
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:50,679
Speaker 4: I'll take the under. Yeah for uh Shaduur Sanders.

2208
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 3: He really needs to help his own cause if you

2209
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,800
Speaker 3: don't want them to draft a quarterback, win games. So

2210
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 3: your pick isn't that good for the brown to be

2211
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,560
Speaker 3: enticed into taking a quarterback?

2212
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 8: Oh?

2213
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 2: Look good enough to where it's like, hey, we have

2214
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 2: a high pick, we can get a receiver to help

2215
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 2: you out or whatever.

2216
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 3: Right now, there are currently six teams with the same

2217
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 3: record or worse than the Cleveland Browns and their three

2218
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:16,719
Speaker 3: and nine record. The Titans do have the worst record

2219
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 3: in the league at one and eleven, and that one

2220
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 3: win was gifted to them by the Arizona Cardinals. A

2221
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 3: snap hit Kyler Murray in the face back when he

2222
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:31,280
Speaker 3: was the quarterback, a player intentionally dropped the football before

2223
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 3: crossing the goal line like DeShawn Jackson, and they somehow

2224
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 3: turned an interception into a fumble into the end zone

2225
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 3: for the Titans to fall on. That one win the

2226
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 3: Titans got was I think more improbable than the Patriots

2227
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:48,200
Speaker 3: twenty eight to three comeback on the Falcons.

2228
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding.

2229
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 3: You have to beat this team in play well, Shador,

2230
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 3: you need to secure the quarterback job because it's not

2231
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:58,760
Speaker 3: just the draft that could try to take it back

2232
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 3: from him. The show Watson is likely still going to

2233
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 3: be on the team next year. Actually, they're paying him

2234
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 3: all that money, he might as well be there, right

2235
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 3: They're looking at if they cut him an eighty million

2236
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 3: dollars dead cap hit. So you're saying that ain't happening. Yeah,

2237
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 3: I'm saying there's not a chance. If you want a

2238
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 3: happy ending this season with you as the presumptive starter,

2239
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:23,640
Speaker 3: you have to what did I have to? Oh I

2240
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 3: even notice that?

2241
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 4: Of course you didn't.

2242
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 3: If you want to be the guy heading into next year,

2243
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 3: should or the pressure is on and oh, Troy epic

2244
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:36,120
Speaker 3: fail is lurking if you lose this game to the

2245
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans.

2246
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 2: You think it's possible that Deshaun Watson grass back the

2247
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 2: starting role in Cleveland.

2248
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 3: Some are saying he's on track to maybe play in

2249
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 3: week seventeen or how far do we go now?

2250
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah it is.

2251
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 2: It's eight there's eighteen weeks, seventeen games. There's no way

2252
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,479
Speaker 2: they're bringing him back this season. Yeah, I imagine they

2253
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,280
Speaker 2: put him in week eighteen. He goes in there and

2254
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 2: then he gets hurt and he's out for a full

2255
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 2: season again, and you're paying eighty million dollars to not

2256
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 2: play again. Now, at least want to bring him back

2257
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 2: to training camp healthy next year and see maybe he

2258
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:07,439
Speaker 2: does have something in the tank.

2259
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 3: Who knows, Create a quarterback competition, push one another, iron

2260
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 3: sharpens iron.

2261
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 4: That's probably best case scenario.

2262
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 1: No doubt.

2263
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:16,679
Speaker 2: This is an F and A on FSR, Fox Football Saturday.

01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 2: with two on two off. If it's Kevin Figures, Adam Alslin,

2284
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 2: Thanks brother Big Rig Rob says k Fig. You know

2285
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:21,759
Speaker 2: who your Raiders need besides a franchise quarterback Mike Tomlin.

2286
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:23,840
Speaker 2: He needs a fresh start and would definitely turn the

2287
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 2: Raiders around. I wouldn't be mad at that. I could

2288
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:27,639
Speaker 2: see that actually makes all the sense in the world

2289
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 2: to me.

2290
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 4: A decent fit. Yeah, I wouldn't be.

2291
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 3: Mad at that, But then again, I thought Pete Carroll

2292
01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:32,439
Speaker 3: would be a decent fits.

2293
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2294
01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 2: All right, Mark, let's dive back into the six pack

2295
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 2: under the microscope. All right, the game player team. Everybody

2296
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:40,840
Speaker 2: should watch closely this weekend at him.

2297
01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 3: I have the New York Giants enter the microscope during

2298
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 3: the bride week. Okay, I'm watching them as closely as

2299
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 3: their linebacker. Abdul Carter was watching porn during a team meeting,

2300
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 3: leading to him being disciplined and not playing the first

2301
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:57,759
Speaker 3: drive of the game Monday night against the Patriots.

2302
01:39:57,840 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 4: He scored three points on that drive.

2303
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 2: Over the being benched for a drive or bench for

2304
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 2: the game of disciplined the guy, then freaking disciplined the guy.

2305
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 2: And by the way, this is the second time this

2306
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 2: has happened with abdual Carter, when he missed the meeting

2307
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 2: earlier a couple of weeks ago.

2308
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 3: Now, the story that he got suspended for getting caught

2309
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 3: watching porn because his headphones got disconnected is fake, yes,

2310
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 3: but it's funny as hell. And the report was put

2311
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 3: out by a parody account of a fake NFL Giants

2312
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 3: reporter named Wesley Steinberg. But it got so much traction

2313
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 3: that Abdual Carter went on social media and made a

2314
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:38,360
Speaker 3: real post saying, stop slandering my name, real s and

2315
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 3: if you believe.

2316
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:45,680
Speaker 4: That BS, you stupid. If you believe that BS, you stupid? No,

2317
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 4: pretty good.

2318
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to slander his name, but I am

2319
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 3: concerned with what activities Abdua Carter is going to be

2320
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 3: up to with all that downtime during the bye week.

2321
01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 3: Like what if at some point this season Abdual Carter

2322
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,639
Speaker 3: somehow ends up with the wrist injury. Oh God, God

2323
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 3: help social media posts then that could come out that's

2324
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:10,120
Speaker 3: my under the Microso.

2325
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to on the field for my under

2326
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 2: the microscope and go to the Bengals on the field

2327
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 2: taking him on Buffalo because last week we talked about

2328
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 2: how Joe Burrow gave the Bengals a shot in the

2329
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 2: arm with how well he played against Baltimore, and as

2330
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 2: I dig a big, big dig a little bit deeper,

2331
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 2: if I can speak into the AFC North is shaping up,

2332
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it's crazy at all to think that

2333
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 2: they might have something to say about this division race

2334
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 2: before all is said and done. I know the Bengals

2335
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 2: defense has been a sieve all season long, but they

2336
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:42,599
Speaker 2: have put in great effort against Baltimore on Thanksgiving Night,

2337
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:44,960
Speaker 2: and I will say Baltimore's offense has been a bit

2338
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 2: of a mess recently, even in their wins. So I

2339
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 2: do think there can be something too to the entire

2340
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 2: team getting a lift from the return of the face

2341
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 2: of a franchise. I don't think the Bengals are going

2342
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 2: to turn into the Steel Curtain overnight or anything like that,

2343
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 2: but I do believe they can drive some inspiration from

2344
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 2: knowing that they have an offense that legitimately score thirty

2345
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 2: plus points in a game. So I'm placing Cincinnati under

2346
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:05,840
Speaker 2: the microscope here because if they can beat Buffalo, there's

2347
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 2: absolutely a path to the AFC North title for them.

2348
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 2: The first major factor they have to win out there's

2349
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:13,599
Speaker 2: no margin for error. That alone makes it a long shot.

2350
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:15,680
Speaker 2: But look at Pittsburgh and Baltimore and what's left for them.

2351
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,960
Speaker 2: Steelers in Baltimore played the other twice, so the Steelers

2352
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:21,280
Speaker 2: have Baltimore twice. I should say then the Dolphins, Browns,

2353
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 2: and Lions, based on how inconsistent Pittsburgh has been in

2354
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:26,720
Speaker 2: all the noise around that team with Aaron Rodgers call

2355
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 2: and got receivers, I don't know that I can say

2356
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 2: that any of their remaining games are layups, per se

2357
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 2: no and then with Baltimore, obviously they have Pittsburgh twice,

2358
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:37,760
Speaker 2: the Bengals one more time, Patriots, Packers, so not an

2359
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 2: easy roled at all. So if the Ravens and Steelers

2360
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 2: split their two matchups, they would at least have they

2361
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 2: would each at least have seven losses for each of them.

2362
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:48,000
Speaker 2: The Bengals play Baltimore again, like I said, a second time,

2363
01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 2: if they win that game, that's eight losses for Baltimore,

2364
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 2: which is the same amount of losses the Bengals have.

2365
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 2: Right now, it's all moved to the Bengals don't beat

2366
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 2: the Bills this week, but based on off Buffalo has

2367
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 2: looked this season, would have surprised any of us if

2368
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 2: they lost his game and Joe.

2369
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 4: Burrow lit them up. No very inconsistent.

2370
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 2: So I know it's a very long shot, but keep

2371
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 2: your eyes on the Cincinnati team here in the final

2372
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 2: month of the season, because they could find themselves here

2373
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 2: in the next three weeks knocking on the door of

2374
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 2: a playoff spot in winning the AFC North if things

2375
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:13,680
Speaker 2: go their way.

2376
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 3: And I don't look even worse for saying they shouldn't

2377
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:16,639
Speaker 3: have brought back Joe Burrow?

2378
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?

2379
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 4: Mark? Final category here?

2380
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 1: Redemption round.

2381
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 3: We were worried about the Colts last week against the

2382
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:27,920
Speaker 3: Texans and how they had a realistic chance of backsliding

2383
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 3: and losing the division, and that's why we had them

2384
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 3: on the hot seat, both of us. Well, now they

2385
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:35,080
Speaker 3: got to redeem themselves.

2386
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:35,680
Speaker 4: So if they want to.

2387
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:39,240
Speaker 3: Hold on to the AFC South and they're in Jacksonville,

2388
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:42,719
Speaker 3: I hope Daniel Jones can drag his broken leg around

2389
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 3: like Greg Jennings and Madden enough to be strong enough

2390
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 3: to make throws down the field like we saw throughout

2391
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 3: most of the season, because.

2392
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,719
Speaker 4: This thing could fall apart in a hurry. They're tied

2393
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:54,800
Speaker 4: with the Jags.

2394
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:57,599
Speaker 3: At eight and four and the Texans, Yeah, they could

2395
01:43:57,720 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 3: lose in case c this weekend, whoever wins between the

2396
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 3: Colts and Jags could have a game lead on the

2397
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:07,880
Speaker 3: loser and be two games up on the Texans. The

2398
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 3: Colts are slight favorites. I think they win, but if

2399
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:16,640
Speaker 3: they don't and the Texans win in Kansas City, the

2400
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:20,600
Speaker 3: Colts would actually be third in the divisions right, just

2401
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:21,840
Speaker 3: like that?

2402
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 4: I insane? Is that considering where they were a month ago?

2403
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:27,760
Speaker 3: Now? It really is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of

2404
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 3: the Crystal School type of situation for Daniel Jones. And

2405
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 3: by the way, how many people remember that the full

2406
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 3: title is in the Kingdom of the Crystal School. We're

2407
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,120
Speaker 3: always just like Indian Jones and the Crystal School. I

2408
01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 3: didn't remember that part, to be honest, I totally forgot.

2409
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 3: We wouldn't dare giving it enough respect, no, to actually

2410
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 3: give the full title. Spec that's my redemption round the Colts.

2411
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:50,599
Speaker 3: They should redeem themselves.

2412
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 4: They need to. We'll see, all right, Kansas City needs redemption.

2413
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 2: That's who my redemption round's going to as they take

2414
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 2: on Houston, like you mentioned a second ago. I know

2415
01:44:57,960 --> 01:44:59,639
Speaker 2: I said the Chiefs wouldn't win the division this year,

2416
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 2: but ever did I think that at this point in

2417
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:04,080
Speaker 2: the season, we'll be sitting here talking about whether or

2418
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,679
Speaker 2: not they will be able to make the postseason.

2419
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's where they find themselves right now.

2420
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 2: And the interesting thing is, if you look at all

2421
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 2: their raw numbers, it's not like they're glaringly bad. They're

2422
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 2: in the top ten in every meaningful offensive and defensive category.

2423
01:45:17,120 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 2: It's just kind of been one of those years for them.

2424
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,719
Speaker 2: I will say their defense has experienced some major slippage

2425
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 2: these past couple of weeks, especially. They've lost three of

2426
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 2: their last four and allowed four hundred yards are close

2427
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 2: to it in all of them. The only game where

2428
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:30,800
Speaker 2: the defense was stout was against the Colts, who were

2429
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 2: at the nature of their season, like you just talked about,

2430
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 2: and have a quarterback playing on one leg. So here

2431
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 2: comes Houston who's won four straight. The defense is dominating.

2432
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 2: The offense actually moved the ball really well against the

2433
01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:43,920
Speaker 2: Colts last week. They just had some untimely penalties in

2434
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,720
Speaker 2: the first half that stemied a couple of drives. So

2435
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:48,560
Speaker 2: this is the classic case of two teams headed in

2436
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 2: opposite directions. But I'll keep saying it. It's still Andy

2437
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 2: Reid and Patrick Mahomes. This combination doesn't know what it's

2438
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:56,839
Speaker 2: like to be in a situation like this. They're typically

2439
01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 2: just in get healthy mode. At this point in time,

2440
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:02,000
Speaker 2: we're in the playoffs. That's going to cruise control, make

2441
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,639
Speaker 2: sure we're healthy, get ready for the tournament. So maybe

2442
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:06,920
Speaker 2: it's misguided because when it comes to this team, I

2443
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:08,439
Speaker 2: kind of feel like one of those people who says

2444
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 2: I won't pick this team to miss the playoffs until

2445
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:13,800
Speaker 2: I see it. Like people will say I won't pick

2446
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:15,320
Speaker 2: the Browns to win the Super Bowl until.

2447
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:15,760
Speaker 4: They actually do it.

2448
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:17,360
Speaker 2: That's kind of where I am when I come when

2449
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 2: it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs and missing the postseason,

2450
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 2: I feel like that's where I am with him right now,

2451
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 2: even though if you look at everything on paper, it

2452
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense too. They're two starting to and left

2453
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:28,400
Speaker 2: tackle or tackles are out, their backup tackle is out,

2454
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 2: and they're playing against one of the best defensive front

2455
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:32,759
Speaker 2: of the entire league. Mahomes is going to be running

2456
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,639
Speaker 2: for his life, but they're at home, they're in prime

2457
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 2: time that absolutely have to win this game. I cannot

2458
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:41,719
Speaker 2: pick against Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes in a situation

2459
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:43,479
Speaker 2: like this as much as I would love to.

2460
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 3: All Right, that's a good redemption round Kansas City and

2461
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:49,559
Speaker 3: beating the Texans. They're favored by three and a half,

2462
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 3: I believe.

2463
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 4: Why would I know something like that?

2464
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 3: Oh, we got two on two off coming up, but

2465
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 3: not yet our college football forecast.

2466
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, college football forecast.

2467
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 4: All right, Kevin, what do you want to start? Big ten,

2468
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 4: Big twelve?

2469
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: Well?

2470
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 2: The Big ten is interesting to me because the game

2471
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 2: is essentially meaningless. We talked about we talked to Petros

2472
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 2: Papaeca's about this last hour. You have the one and

2473
01:47:14,479 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 2: two ranked teams in the country playing against each other.

2474
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 2: They're both undefeated. Whoever loses this game unless they get

2475
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 2: absolutely run off of the field, If this game is

2476
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 2: even a ten point game or something like that, I

2477
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:27,120
Speaker 2: don't think either of these teams falls out of the

2478
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 2: top four.

2479
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 4: I still think they end up getting a bye week.

2480
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:33,000
Speaker 4: So ultimately, what does it really matter? Probably not that much.

2481
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,400
Speaker 2: From an individual player standpoint, I do think it's big

2482
01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:38,360
Speaker 2: for Julian sand and Fernando Mendoza Souse. Those two guys

2483
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:40,880
Speaker 2: are neck and neck when it comes to the Heisman race,

2484
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:43,080
Speaker 2: along with you know, Julian Love at Notre Dame who

2485
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:45,200
Speaker 2: has no more data points. He's done playing games until

2486
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,560
Speaker 2: the playoff begins. So it's big for that reason, I

2487
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:50,720
Speaker 2: do think, and a Petros emphasize this as well. It's

2488
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:53,040
Speaker 2: big for Indiana because for that program to say that

2489
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,280
Speaker 2: they won a Big Ten championship and they did it

2490
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:57,479
Speaker 2: by beating Ohio State in the Big Ten title game,

2491
01:47:57,720 --> 01:47:59,679
Speaker 2: it will be big for them. But for Ohio State,

2492
01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 2: they didn't win the Big Ten championship last year and

2493
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 2: they won the national championship.

2494
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:04,040
Speaker 4: So what difference does it make.

2495
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 3: I think Indiana could win close and they'll just flip flop.

2496
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 3: Indiana will be number one, Ohio State will be number two.

2497
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 4: Possible, Yeah, I think that's likely.

2498
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,880
Speaker 3: Georgia could beat Bama and that could still happen. It

2499
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:19,040
Speaker 3: could still be in the number three spot. If it's

2500
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 3: a close, hard fought game and it looks like I

2501
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,719
Speaker 3: test wise, these are the two best teams in the country,

2502
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 3: it really does.

2503
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:27,920
Speaker 2: I think Ohio State ultimately ends up winning because I mean,

2504
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 2: both of these teams, if you look at the numbers,

2505
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 2: there are number one or number two in the conference

2506
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:35,200
Speaker 2: and honestly in the country in many categories. But talent

2507
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,160
Speaker 2: ultimately wins out. Ohio State just has so many top

2508
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:41,160
Speaker 2: ten draft picks on this roster it's ridiculous. It would

2509
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 2: not surprise me if Indiana won. But if I had

2510
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 2: to make an official pick, I do think Ohio State

2511
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:45,720
Speaker 2: ends up winning it.

2512
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 4: Who do you like between Mendoza and saying for the Heisman?

2513
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 2: I kind of like Mendoza. What Hurt's saying is he

2514
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:54,439
Speaker 2: doesn't have a moment. The problem is his team has

2515
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:56,879
Speaker 2: been so good he hasn't needed one, and that shouldn't

2516
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,320
Speaker 2: be used against him, but it will be for Nana.

2517
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 2: The Mendoza has the pick six against Oregon, coming back

2518
01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 2: and leading a game winning drive against them, and he

2519
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,680
Speaker 2: has the game winning drive against Penn State to put

2520
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 2: this put in his back pocket. So I think Fernanda

2521
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 2: Mendoza kind of has the upper hand when it comes

2522
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 2: to that.

2523
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 3: All right, I'll go Georgia Obama. Number three Georgia versus

2524
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 3: number nine Alabama. This is interesting because Bama beat them

2525
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:26,799
Speaker 3: yep on the road. Kirby Smart is one and seven

2526
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 3: versus Bama. It's not a Nick Saban thing, It's a

2527
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 3: Bama thing.

2528
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:34,160
Speaker 2: Honestly, it would not surprise me if the same thing happened.

2529
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 2: Now this is also desperation mode to Alabama. This is

2530
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:38,920
Speaker 2: a playoff game for them. They get three losses, they

2531
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 2: ain't getting in, so they need to win. Georgia's already again.

2532
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 2: They know that for a fact, whether they win or lose.

2533
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:45,800
Speaker 2: But obviously you want to be able to get an

2534
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 2: SEC championship on your ledger if you can. If you're

2535
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 2: Georgia Alabama. We talked about this the first time they played.

2536
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 2: Alabama's weakness offensive line. One of Georgia's defensive weaknesses they

2537
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:58,760
Speaker 2: can't rush the passer, and Alabama ty Simpson lit them up.

2538
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 2: They were thirteen of nineteen on third downs. Ty Simpson

2539
01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 2: had a great game, especially in the first half against

2540
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,920
Speaker 2: the Georgia secondary. I really haven't seen much to think

2541
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 2: that that's gonna play out differently in this game.

2542
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:12,839
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this, I think Bama could lose close

2543
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:14,400
Speaker 3: and still get in.

2544
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 1: Ooh, okay, I do.

2545
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 3: With three losses, they've already beat Georgia.

2546
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 4: If it's a competitive game where.

2547
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 3: They lose on a late field goal or something like that,

2548
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:24,639
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna hold that against them. If I think

2549
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 3: Georgia is the number three team and they barely lose

2550
01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 3: to them when they've already beaten them.

2551
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 4: I think they could hold their spot as ninth.

2552
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 2: People are gonna go back and and hold them to

2553
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:36,120
Speaker 2: their loss to Florida State in Week one, and say,

2554
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:39,000
Speaker 2: can I justify keeping if we're arguing about two loss

2555
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 2: teams like look, BYU, who's probably gonna end up losing

2556
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 2: again to Texas Tech, but a two loss BYU, who's

2557
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 2: only two losses, or to the fourth team in the

2558
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 2: country in Texas Tech, who might move up depending what

2559
01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:52,720
Speaker 2: depending what happens in the Indiana Ohio State game, are

2560
01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 2: you gonna hope that against them? The argument between Notre

2561
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 2: Dame and Miami, those two loss teams, I feel like

2562
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 2: Notre Dame Miami, those are the two that will benefit

2563
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:01,519
Speaker 2: or Miami more than anybody.

2564
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 4: Nor Dame's kind of solidly in at this point.

2565
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 2: So if Alabama loses, I think that that's a big

2566
01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 2: feather in the cap for anybody that's a fan of

2567
01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 2: a Miami for them to potentially get in as an

2568
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:13,040
Speaker 2: at large with two losses.

2569
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 3: I still think if BYU loses, they're out, and therefore

2570
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,880
Speaker 3: Miami and Notre Dame could be right next to one another. Yeah,

2571
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 3: and once the committee sees them as the tenth and

2572
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:29,240
Speaker 3: eleventh best teams, they might have to make Miami jump

2573
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. Because when we were talking about this a

2574
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:35,040
Speaker 3: month ago, when they had Notre Dame ahead of them

2575
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 3: by six or seven spots, whatever it was, and they

2576
01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:39,920
Speaker 3: both had two losses.

2577
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 1: That's different.

2578
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 3: If they're right next to each other and they both

2579
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 3: have two losses and you think they're that close talent wise,

2580
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 3: and they played a damn game and Miami beat them,

2581
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:53,120
Speaker 3: I don't know how you don't put them in front. Yeah,

2582
01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 3: and I know how, but I really I don't that

2583
01:51:57,240 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 3: would push the committee to have to make that DECI

2584
01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:02,439
Speaker 3: and I don't know if they could live with themselves

2585
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 3: if they didn't let Miami jump in front of Notre Dame.

2586
01:52:05,200 --> 01:52:07,560
Speaker 4: Like that's such a bad precedent. It'd be ridiculous.

2587
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 2: And I honestly, you can argue for it, and it

2588
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 2: would make sense, Adam, if Georgia were to beat Alabama

2589
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 2: or you know, in a very close situation, a game

2590
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 2: winning field goal at the time expired. I really just

2591
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 2: can't see the committee, even though it's the SEC, picking

2592
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:22,720
Speaker 2: a three loss team, even if it's an SEC team

2593
01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 2: over a two loss team out of the ACC or

2594
01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 2: somewhere else.

2595
01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:26,840
Speaker 4: But just look at it this way.

2596
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:30,839
Speaker 3: Okay, we know the top ten, it's eleven and twelve

2597
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:36,800
Speaker 3: that are problematic. Yeah, because conference group of six. So

2598
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:41,640
Speaker 3: if Alabama loses close being ranked number ninth, and then

2599
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 3: let's say BYU loses to Texas Tech, yep, likely, why

2600
01:52:47,160 --> 01:52:51,560
Speaker 3: can't Why can't Alabama end up tenth? And maybe you

2601
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 3: move I don't know, Notre Dame in front of them

2602
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,200
Speaker 3: or Miami in front of them, and they still get.

2603
01:52:56,120 --> 01:52:58,839
Speaker 2: In because I do think that they value wins and losses.

2604
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 2: And so the third loss on Alabama's ledger versus a

2605
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 2: two loss Notre Dame, a two loss BYU, a two

2606
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:05,759
Speaker 2: loss Miami.

2607
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 4: But they're playing an extra game against a great team.

2608
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:10,960
Speaker 2: By the way, that's works in their favor to a

2609
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 2: certain degree that those other teams don't have to to

2610
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:13,760
Speaker 2: help them out.

2611
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah situations.

2612
01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:17,760
Speaker 3: I thought they also don't want to hold it against them.

2613
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 3: A loss in a championship game against teams that aren't

2614
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:21,519
Speaker 3: even playing there.

2615
01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:22,400
Speaker 4: Well, here's the problem.

2616
01:53:22,720 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what they want to do or not,

2617
01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 2: because it seems to change on a weekend week out

2618
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:28,840
Speaker 2: basis when it comes to this committee, Well, this was

2619
01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:31,679
Speaker 2: going off of historically speaking, going back to the obviously

2620
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:33,280
Speaker 2: this is only the second year of the twelve team,

2621
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:35,720
Speaker 2: going back to the fourth team. Third, teams with three

2622
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,599
Speaker 2: losses generally are just not making it unless there's utter chaos.

2623
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:41,479
Speaker 3: Well, I would say it would be a pretty unique

2624
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 3: third loss. One, it needs to be close.

2625
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 1: Two.

2626
01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 4: They already beat that team.

2627
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:50,120
Speaker 3: Three, it's the SEC Championship and the other teams around

2628
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:52,560
Speaker 3: them aren't playing another game. I think it would be

2629
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 3: a pretty interesting third loss.

2630
01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree. I'm just telling you right now,

2631
01:53:57,800 --> 01:53:59,599
Speaker 2: they're not putting them in with three losses.

2632
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:02,800
Speaker 4: It's not happening, all right. They happening. So that's how

2633
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 4: ends upshaking.

2634
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:04,839
Speaker 2: And by the way, when it comes to the ACC

2635
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:07,880
Speaker 2: Duke in Virginia, I know people want the chaos theory.

2636
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 2: If Duke beats Virginia, Duke with five losses probably not

2637
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 2: going to be ranked. So that would open the door

2638
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 2: for James Madison to make it in as the second

2639
01:54:15,479 --> 01:54:17,560
Speaker 2: group of five team to make it over the a

2640
01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:19,880
Speaker 2: SEC champion. It would not surprise me at all if

2641
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 2: Duke won. If they found a way to get Duke

2642
01:54:22,240 --> 01:54:25,120
Speaker 2: into the playoff. I still think that they're being part

2643
01:54:25,160 --> 01:54:27,439
Speaker 2: of a Power four conference means something and it wouldn't

2644
01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:28,479
Speaker 2: be fair to James Madison.

2645
01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 4: But that's nevertheless how it shakes out.

2646
01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:30,720
Speaker 1: By the way.

2647
01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 2: I don't see Duke beating Virginia. Virginia ran them off

2648
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:34,400
Speaker 2: the field earlier this year, and I think they do

2649
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 2: it again.

2650
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 4: I definitely count them out in this game. I probably shouldn't.

2651
01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 3: But what chance do you give BYU to beat Texas

2652
01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:43,560
Speaker 3: Tech if they lost you twenty nine to seven earlier

2653
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:43,920
Speaker 3: this year?

2654
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 2: Not much because BYU has to be able to run

2655
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:47,920
Speaker 2: the ball to be able to win.

2656
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 4: They have to get LJ. Martin off, and LJ.

2657
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:52,480
Speaker 2: Martin couldn't do anything against that Texas Tech run defense,

2658
01:54:52,520 --> 01:54:54,400
Speaker 2: which is one of the best run defenses in the

2659
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:58,800
Speaker 2: entire nation. What BYU does Texas Tech does better stopping

2660
01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:02,120
Speaker 2: the RUNU cannot run the ball, they cannot win. I

2661
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 2: like bear Bachmeyer, He's not gonna draw back forty times

2662
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 2: and light you up.

2663
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: He can't do it.

2664
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 2: So this is just a bad matchup for BYU unfortunately,

2665
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:11,440
Speaker 2: so I don't see it happening.

2666
01:55:11,320 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 4: All right, thoughts on Lane Kippin.

2667
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:17,640
Speaker 2: It really sucks to be honest with you, especially the

2668
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:19,520
Speaker 2: way that all play it well a lot of it,

2669
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 2: and we don't have enough time to get deep enough

2670
01:55:21,560 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 2: into it.

2671
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:24,200
Speaker 4: I feel badly for the people at Old Miss.

2672
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:27,520
Speaker 2: I understand trying to take an opportunity to go to

2673
01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 2: a dream job or a marquee job. But we talked

2674
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:31,240
Speaker 2: about it last week when we were still kind of

2675
01:55:31,280 --> 01:55:33,240
Speaker 2: talking about whether or not he was gonna leave. You

2676
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:35,920
Speaker 2: have a chance to win national championship, a national championship

2677
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:37,760
Speaker 2: at Old Miss. Why can't you build on top of

2678
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:39,960
Speaker 2: what you've already built. You don't have to piss everybody

2679
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:41,760
Speaker 2: off in Oxford. You have a chance to win and

2680
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 2: build your own legacy.

2681
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 1: Why not do that?

2682
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 4: Make Ole Miss the new LSU. Now one thing that

2683
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's not funny to Old Miss fans.

2684
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:53,400
Speaker 2: I know that, But somebody sent out a tweet on

2685
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:58,280
Speaker 2: Friday that LSU got five top five Recraft five five

2686
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 2: star recruits that they signed to their class, which was

2687
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:03,200
Speaker 2: more than Lane Kiffin signed his entire tenure at Old Miss,

2688
01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 2: and Lane Kiffin retweeted it and said, hashtag built different.

2689
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:07,000
Speaker 1: Wow.

2690
01:56:07,360 --> 01:56:09,840
Speaker 4: So little sounds in the wound on the way out

2691
01:56:09,880 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 4: of the door from Lane Kiffin.

2692
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 3: I know nothing different from him looking for the next

2693
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:17,600

01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:55,320
Speaker 3: what you gotta do?

2711
01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:58,600
Speaker 1: Two on two are.

2712
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 4: So the update is this. We both went two and

2713
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:07,480
Speaker 4: two last week. Shocker. It's like an eighth week in

2714
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:09,240
Speaker 4: the row that we've gotten to. We've gone to and two.

2715
01:57:10,240 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 4: So the standings.

2716
01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 3: Have me at twenty five and twenty seven on the season.

2717
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 4: What is that about? Your Panthers are at them.

2718
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 2: There you go, Oh, because your cats make your picks,

2719
01:57:21,120 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 2: don't they that they had good pooll Mark?

2720
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:25,000
Speaker 4: That's right. They haven't made my picks for months. Maybe

2721
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:27,920
Speaker 4: they should. Maybe you get over five hundred at that

2722
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 4: point if you did. Kevin is at twenty eight and

2723
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:31,600
Speaker 4: twenty four.

2724
01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, Joe Klatt, I'm pretty sure he didn't

2725
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:39,280
Speaker 3: announce what happened with his picks last week.

2726
01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 4: Oh, he'll tell you something, kept it in his back pocket.

2727
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:42,240
Speaker 8: Huh.

2728
01:57:42,480 --> 01:57:45,600
Speaker 3: I didn't see him say give the update on how

2729
01:57:45,680 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 3: his college football picks win.

2730
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 4: He was like five games under five hundred.

2731
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:54,160
Speaker 3: All right, So twoon means two picks we make on

2732
01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 3: two favorites this week, Kevin, you want to give me

2733
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:57,080
Speaker 3: a favorite?

2734
01:57:57,120 --> 01:57:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Miami Dolphins are three

2735
01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 2: point favorites over the je coming off of their bye week.

2736
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 2: That's right, Miami Dolphins have been playing much better. It

2737
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:07,800
Speaker 2: looks like Mike McDaniel has gotten the vote of confidence.

2738
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:09,920
Speaker 2: He will return. I think as most people thought that

2739
01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:11,840
Speaker 2: he would at this point in time. Devon Han has

2740
01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:14,720
Speaker 2: turned a corner, has turned into a really dynamic offensive

2741
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:15,520
Speaker 2: playmaker for them.

2742
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:17,680
Speaker 4: And the Jets are the Jets.

2743
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:20,880
Speaker 2: So I like the Dolphins getting three points, getting being

2744
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:22,200
Speaker 2: a three point favorites over the Jets.

2745
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:25,600
Speaker 3: All right, I'm going against something I said earlier. I

2746
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,880
Speaker 3: guess okay, I think I said this could be a

2747
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:32,000
Speaker 3: trap game, But I don't really believe that. The Rams

2748
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 3: minus eight and a half on the road against the Cardinals.

2749
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:38,600
Speaker 3: The Rams got to bounce back after what my Panthers

2750
01:58:38,640 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 3: did to them.

2751
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:41,840
Speaker 2: You really need to against the down troten Arizona team,

2752
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:44,600
Speaker 2: who I will say I've played better with a new

2753
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 2: quarterback in there, especially now like Kyler Murray's out.

2754
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 4: For the remainder of the season. Yeah, he's done.

2755
01:58:48,600 --> 01:58:51,320
Speaker 2: So Brissett's been. Now, the team hasn't won, but Brissett's

2756
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:54,880
Speaker 2: been much better. Well that completion record, he said, game

2757
01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:58,120
Speaker 2: there you go in a loss. Still another on from you,

2758
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:01,160
Speaker 2: Buccaneers eight and a half point, faiait's over Breeze Saints.

2759
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, Bree, Buccaneers. Hey, like, if they're in

2760
01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 2: the playoff chase right now, Bree, they don't have time

2761
01:59:05,120 --> 01:59:07,600
Speaker 2: to mess around here. All right, they got some good news.

2762
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:09,720
Speaker 2: Mike Evans practice window opened up. I thought he was

2763
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:11,360
Speaker 2: done for the season. He might return to the team

2764
01:59:11,400 --> 01:59:13,120
Speaker 2: here pretty soon, so that'll give him a bit of

2765
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:14,760
Speaker 2: a boost. So I like the Bucks eight and a

2766
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:16,080
Speaker 2: half point favorites over the Saints.

2767
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:16,600
Speaker 4: All right.

2768
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm going the Seahawks minus seven on the road against

2769
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:24,320
Speaker 3: the Falcons, just because I talked myself into it when

2770
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:26,920
Speaker 3: I mentioned that Kirk Cousins is still their quarterback, and yeah,

2771
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 3: what's he going to do against that defense?

2772
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:31,920
Speaker 2: Probably throwing at least one interception? Right, at least better

2773
01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:32,520
Speaker 2: be more than one.

2774
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:35,959
Speaker 3: Well, I just say, at least passes it to the Seahawks.

2775
01:59:36,160 --> 01:59:36,520
Speaker 1: All right.

2776
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:41,440
Speaker 3: Now are offs games that were picking on the underdog with.

2777
01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 4: Right right where I'm going to go to Los Angeles.

2778
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:46,520
Speaker 2: I talked about this earlier in the show with the

2779
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:48,640
Speaker 2: Eagles and how much they've been struggling. I am taking

2780
01:59:48,720 --> 01:59:50,800
Speaker 2: the Chargers as two and a half point underdogs at

2781
01:59:50,880 --> 01:59:53,400
Speaker 2: home against Philadelphia. I think the Chargers get a shot

2782
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 2: in the arm by the return of Amrio on Hampton,

2783
01:59:55,400 --> 01:59:57,760
Speaker 2: and even despite the injury to Justin Herbert's left hand

2784
01:59:57,800 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 2: with the surgery earlier this week, I think they find

2785
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 2: a way to pull off the victory against Philadelphia.

2786
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:03,960
Speaker 3: We're getting close to the end here. Yep, I might

2787
02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:07,360
Speaker 3: have to make some drastic moves. Okay, well, and that

2788
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:10,360
Speaker 3: means going against Kevin, we run out of time. Give

2789
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:14,120
Speaker 3: me the New York Jets plus three against your Miami Dolphins.

2790
02:00:14,160 --> 02:00:16,120
Speaker 4: Okay, my Miami Dolphins. Sounds good to me.

2791
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:17,760
Speaker 2: My off is the Colts one and a half point

2792
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 2: favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Colts have not won in

2793
02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:26,400
Speaker 2: Jacksonville since twenty fourteen. I am taking the Colts as

2794
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,280
Speaker 2: one and a half are the Jaguars, I should say,

2795
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:30,480
Speaker 2: as one a half point dogs against Indianapolis?

2796
02:00:30,560 --> 02:00:30,920
Speaker 1: All right.

2797
02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:35,440
Speaker 3: I also got the Minnesota Vikings plus one at home

2798
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:37,520
Speaker 3: against the Washington Commanders.

2799
02:00:37,600 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 2: Oh really okay, even with Jayden and Daniels back in

2800
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:41,080
Speaker 2: the lineup, but going with Minnesota, huh.

2801
02:00:41,080 --> 02:00:43,720
Speaker 4: Waby he's back, Yes he is. Get out of here.
