1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Well that's right, you heard the man that time of

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 2: week again. My name is Bernie Frattle. Or come to

Speaker 2: Tyraq dot com the way tire buying should be. Oh

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: my goodness, so much to get to tonight, so a

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: little time. We've got college football up. That took us.

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: We'll get into the NFL, a major NBA trade. Of course,

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: my trivia game at midnight, got a great guess in

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes, and I've got a subject matter I

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: want to tackle to start the show. And by the way,

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: before I get the ball rolling, I was in Anaheim Monday,

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: attended the Angel game, grew up loving that team, managed

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: to get a credential once a year for old time sake,

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: And as I was coming off the field during batting practice,

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: ran into a gentleman, retired policeman stadium security. His name

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: is David Barons. Want to give him a shout out.

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: He listens to our show. He likes the motown music

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: and had a great conversation with him, so David appreciated.

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: David Barons, thank you for your service and thanks for

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show before I dived. Well,

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: by the way, we'll get to this later. Lions have

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: now won six divisional games in a row, eleven and

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: three since starting one and six last year. Defense ranks eleventh,

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: not thirtieth. Bottom of the hour. I'm going to get

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: into that a little bit more. I've been telling you

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: all year. There is a specific reason why the Lions

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: are no longer the Lions, and I am qualified to

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: say that. So hold, I thought I will get to it.

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: But something that's been on my mind all week because

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: there are a couple of names in the news. One

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: is perpetually in the news. The second one I'll get

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: I will share with you and I will tell you why.

37
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: And they are both, as Jogi Barrett would say, they

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: have different similarities. Now you've heard me mention on the

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: show the phraseology. You know, we don't have royalty in

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: this country. You see, our athletes and our entertainment are

41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: entertainers and such. They are in fact our royalty and

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: there's an old saying, tell me a fact and I

43
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: will learn it. Tell me the truth and I believe it.

44
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: But give me a great story and it lives in

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: my heart the rest of my life. I want to

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: talk about Dion Sanders for a minute, because I'm a

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: big Dion fan and I love what's happening in Colorado,

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: every bit of it, and I'm not shocked that people

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 2: are triggered. People are triggered by Dion, and I want

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: to touch on a thing or two about Dean so

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: we can maybe please stop the bull junk, which we

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 2: won't because it slays me to observe that Deanna's so polarizing.

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: People are rooting for him to fail or they resent

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: his success. You all know, the opposite of love is

55
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: not hate, it's indifference. You have to have that same emotion.

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: There has to be that same level of caring. So

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: people hate Dion. I love Dion. And by the way,

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: it's all about the story. This whole story is riveting,

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: it's captivating, and for some I guess it's maddening. And yeah,

60
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: that's a you problem. Maybe you're angry because Dion jumped

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: the line, he didn't pay his dues, other coaches out

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: there are are are railing on him. Okay, It's become

63
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: a circus act. It'll be a circus act in about

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: ten hours from now when they tee it up against

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: USC and all the cool people will be there because

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: they want to see and be seen. And if you

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: think Dion is merely a loud mouth, shameless self promoter,

68
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: what you're wrong, okay? And what creates I know it's

69
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: against a lot of practice psychology without a license, but

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: what creates this phenomenon? It's quite simple. Most people that

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: grow up, they have dreams of wealth and fame and

72
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: happiness and style and social influence and so on. They

73
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: watch fairy tales as a kid. There's a deep seated

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: attraction to heroism in this country. And for some if

75
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: other people achieve what you do not, then you become

76
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: very resentful. And that is I think the prevailing attitude

77
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: towards Dion Sanders. And I'm going to defend Dion Sanders.

78
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: He's not a perfect person, but I believe he's a

79
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: good person. Travis Hunter really wanted to play last week.

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: A lesser coach might have. Dion didn't. And again, I

81
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: want to repeat this, if you think Diana is merely

82
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: a loudmouth, shameless self promoter. You're completely disavowing the hard

83
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: work and the tribulations he's been through in his life

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: to get to whatever juncture he's made it to, whether

85
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: it be the major leagues in the World Series or

86
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: the NFL or what he did at Florida State. Did

87
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: you know Dion attempted suicide in nineteen ninety seven. Perhaps

88
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: I'll share that story in another day. He's led a

89
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: full life and it hasn't always been perfect. But there's

90
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: one backstory that stands out for me that speaks volumes

91
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: about Dion and his character. The Buffaloes frankly stunned the

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: recruiting world. Probably guys like Aaron Torres would know this,

93
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: but most wouldn't. They landed were one of the best

94
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: recruits in college football heading into this last season. Dion

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: flipped a player by the name of Cormani McClain to

96
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: come to Colorado. Everybody else wanted him, Alabama, Florida, you

97
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: name it right. He's a defensive back put four games

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: into McLean's freshman season, who is, by the way, the

99
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: third best recruit in Colorado history. According to twenty four

100
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: to seven sports. He hasn't even seen the field well

101
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: kind of last week Dion put him in garbage time

102
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: and you know their players heard and he allowed him

103
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: to jump into the game. But this is a kid,

104
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: six foot two corner from Lakland. He's got NFL written

105
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: all over him, and seeing the field had to do

106
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: with the player. And Dian was asked and he was

107
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: quoted he said, I'll tell you why he doesn't study

108
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: and prepare. He's not on time for meetings, show up

109
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: to the Durham meetings and like I says Durn all

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: the time, understand the scheme. Coach Prime spoke why mclan

111
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: wasn't playing much, He would honestly say, understand what we're

112
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: doing is this game. You want to play this game.

113
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: You have desered to play this game. You have deserve

114
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: to do the best of this game. Will show me

115
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: at practice, show me in the film room and on

116
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: your own time. You do know I checked film time

117
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: from each player so I can see who's preparing. And

118
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: it's not just about Cormani. So if I don't see

119
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: that you put it in the work, I'm going to

120
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: be I'd be a fool to put someone out there

121
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: who's not prepared, can't do it, won't do it. I'm

122
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: old school. Mclan did to get a couple snaps in

123
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 2: the forty two six blowout against Oregon, and that's just

124
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: without you know, to Travis Hunter playing and McLain could

125
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: have been a natural fit to fill that void. He

126
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: he's that athletic. Now Colorado might be down Shiloh Sanders Saturday.

127
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: I'm not sure each member of the secondary has also

128
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: suffered injuries. So these are guys that are sort of

129
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: internal organs to that Colorado defense. And we'll see if

130
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: McLean gets on the field Saturday. But credit Dion for

131
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: honoring the process. You have to earn it. Behind all

132
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: the historyonics which Dion has always seemed to back up

133
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: as a player, I believe Dean's a very serious individual

134
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: and Dion Sanders has earned everything he's accomplished. So if

135
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: you're threatened by his success, that's a you problem. There's

136
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: more character there than you want to give him credit for.

137
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: And speaking of that, I'm going to take you back

138
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: to Tuesday night, Major League Baseball. The rest of the world,

139
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: we lost a very good man when Baltimore Orioles Hall

140
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: of fame third basement Brooks Robinson passed away. Robinson won

141
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: sixteen Golden Gloves with the Baltimore Orioles, and he led

142
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: the America League and all third baseman in his career

143
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: and awards won. And obviously, you know there's a reason

144
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: why he was called the human vacuum cleaner. But the

145
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Washington Posts did a nice homage and said, quote, his

146
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: moral compass was as splendid as his glove. And that's true.

147
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: May Angelou always says, no one cares what you did,

148
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: what you said, They'll always remember how you made them feel.

149
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: Brooks Robinson was a walking masterclass at that. You know,

150
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: he had a magnetic glove. This is a man known

151
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: for his empathy, believe it or not. At the end

152
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: of an illustrious twenty two year career, people learned that

153
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: Brooks Robinson had gone broke. He hadn't been tough enough

154
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: in running his sporty goods store in Baltimore. He kept

155
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: a lot of nice folks around, kept people on the cuff,

156
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: supplied youth teams that they couldn't afford it. And after

157
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: the story broke that Brooks Robinson basically went broke. He

158
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: was swamped with mail. People were sending ten dollars five dollars.

159
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: One gentleman actually sent Brooks Robinson ten thousand dollars. You

160
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: know what Brooks Robinson did. He sent every dollar back

161
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: and paid for the postage. That tells you the kind

162
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: of man Brooks Robinson was. Robinson could have gotten a loan,

163
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: but he wouldn't take one from the Oriols. He didn't

164
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: shift blame. Brooks Robinson in twenty two years, earned less

165
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: than one million dollars cumulative and salary before taxes in

166
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 2: his entire career twenty two years. He just missed free agency.

167
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: He retired in seventy seven. Now, in his tenth season

168
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: hews the American League gam VP, he earned a whopping

169
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: thirty five thousand dollars. Now here's the deal. Brooks Robinson

170
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: will forever be considered the greatest defensive third basement of

171
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: all time, eighteen time All Star, sixteen Golden Gloves, two

172
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy homers. Look, but his Hall of Fame

173
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: teammate Jim Palmer said, fighting back tears the other day,

174
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: he also happens to be one of the greatest human

175
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: beings you've ever met. As you've heard me say many times,

176
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: and I'll say it again, we don't have royalty in

177
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: this country. Our athletes and our entertainers, and many times

178
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: they are one and the same, are in fact our royalty.

179
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: And on this moment, Dion Sanders and Brookes Robinson are

180
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: joined at the hip because in their own way they've

181
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: had that kind of impact on fandom and on pop

182
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,720

00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: and Rich Orenberger. It's are on, Jared Lee Smith, Jared,

220
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: how are you, buddy.

221
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 7: I'm good, Bernie.

222
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: It's great to be only. Hey, I'm glad to have you.

223
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: Jared a lot to talk about. Ever so quickly, Utah

224
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: goes down hard tonight. Cameron Rising warmed up before the

225
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: UCLA game but didn't play. How do you consider backing

226
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: Utah from here on out with this kind of wildcard situation?

227
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's tough. Kyle Whittingham is kind of

228
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 7: like the Maverick of college football mayor with that old

229
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 7: movie with Milk Gibson James Darner, one of my old favorites.

230
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: But actually done with Yeah.

231
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 7: Well, he kind of reminds me him because he's not

232
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 7: afraid to bluff. And we've seen this a lot with Whittingham.

233
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 7: In fact, last year it was a Friday night game

234
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 7: I forget who it was again, and all of a sudden,

235
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 7: Cam Risen just didn't play and nobody knew about it

236
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 7: until literally the backup ran onto the field on the

237
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 7: first snat. So it wasn't surprised me if we get

238
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 7: this game with Whittingham all season, and you have to

239
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 7: look at it from the players perspective. Now, it's not

240
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 7: only Rising, but it's also the tight end Kiethy. I mean,

241
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 7: these are both I think Keithy more so than Rising,

242
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 7: but these are both NFL prospects. And we've now reached

243
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 7: the point in Utah season where there's still you know,

244
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 7: everything's in front of them because they've only lost one game.

245
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 7: But I think at some point the PAC twelfth Championship

246
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 7: probably you know, goes out the rearview mirror there and

247
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 7: you know, maybe those guys really start to focus on

248
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 7: the next level. So I wouldn't be surprised if we

249
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 7: get this game with Cameron Rising every week from here

250
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 7: on out, especially if Utah loses another game or two

251
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden they're playing for you know,

252
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 7: one of the lesser Bowls and not you know, one

253
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 7: of the college football championship games.

254
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: A good, good, good point. All right, let's look ahead

255
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: in about nine and a half hours. We have to

256
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: talk about this game. First, it's the law Trojan's up

257
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 2: to minus twenty two at Colorado. The Buffs could only

258
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: muster ninety nine yards in total offense last week. What's

259
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: your quick take on this game?

260
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know, the game is priced similarly

261
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 7: to last week, you know, about a three touchdown spread

262
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 7: and I think if you analyze those two teams individually,

263
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 7: Oregon and USC Colorado's opponents, I think it's fair to

264
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 7: say that they offer different challenges. Oregon is a much

265
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 7: more physical team than USC is and I think right now,

266
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 7: at their core, Colorado is talented at the top. I

267
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 7: think Shudors Sanders could start for a lot of Power

268
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 7: five teams, and I think they have a lot of

269
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 7: skill position players that probably could start for a lot

270
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 7: of Power five teams, but the depth isn't there. And

271
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 7: I think just the overall physicality.

272
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 5: Teams big and top.

273
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 7: That play defense like Oregon, I think that's a bad

274
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 7: matchup for Colorado. But this is a different game, a

275
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 7: little bit more of a finesse game against USC. Caleb

276
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 7: Williams is going to run around and they're going to

277
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 7: try to make a lot of plays in the air,

278
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 7: and I'm sure he will, but they're not going to

279
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 7: try to pound it down Colorado's throws. And on the

280
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 7: defensive side of the ball, I think Colorado is going

281
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 7: to be able to, you know, protect a little bit

282
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 7: longer to give Shad or Sanders that extra second to

283
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 7: make that play. Because UFC's front. You go watch the

284
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 7: airs on a state pape from Saturday. USC's front isn't

285
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 7: exactly gamebusters up there. So I think this is a

286
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 7: different game for Colorado, and I think they can keep

287
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 7: it within the number, you know, getting three touchdowns. There

288
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 7: will be a much different game than last week. Let's

289
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 7: just leave it at that.

290
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: I'm an agreement. I think you're going to get a

291
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: little different effort out of Colorado, and they aren home

292
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: and it feels like that back door could stay open.

293
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: I full this closer. I'm not involved in that game,

294
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: one game that I would have very little interested weeks ago.

295
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: But Florida is now looking better. They actually have a

296
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: win over Tennessee. They travel to Kentucky lay three. This

297
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: is a tough game.

298
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 7: Your thoughts, Yeah, Kentucky. I think I really like this

299
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 7: Kentucky team. I think they're starting to play a lot better.

300
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 7: And you know, they're four and over the third straight year,

301
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 7: so they're in a familiar spots here. And anytime you

302
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 7: get an unranked team that's favored against the ranked team.

303
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 7: We see this more in college basketball, but as college football,

304
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 7: as does happen, you know, and I always favor the

305
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 7: unranked team that's laying points that's a very popular trend,

306
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 7: and it might be.

307
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: The case here.

308
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 7: We've seen a little money come in on Florida and

309
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 7: it's kind of moving back to a pick them. It's

310
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 7: definitely going to close under a field goal if we

311
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 7: do get some Kentucky take back Saturday morning. But I

312
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 7: think when you look at this team, I expect Kentucky

313
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 7: to own the trenches in this game. And I was

314
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 7: a little bit surprised with how physical Florida has been

315
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 7: through the first few weeks of their year. They had

316
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 7: that tough game against Utah, and I know they didn't

317
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 7: face Cameron Rising, but Utah's front can still get after you.

318
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 7: And then they had that tough game against Tennessee where

319
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 7: they really out physicaled the balls and that's why they

320
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 7: won that game. But you look at their defense and

321
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 7: I think their defense is playing well above the expectation

322
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 7: so far. I didn't expect their defensive front to be

323
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 7: able to up against the run. And that's important because

324
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 7: Ray David, the transfer from Bandy, who's averaging six yards

325
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 7: of kerry for Kentucky. That's a really tough matchup, I think.

326
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 7: But on quarterback position, I don't know what we're getting

327
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 7: from Devin Larry. He looks good point sub sixty completion percentage,

328
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 7: so I think that's an AWS up game. Bernie. I

329
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 7: think this is a good stay away spot for me.

330
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 7: I'm not really touching this one.

331
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: Okay, nicely done. I would lean to Kentucky and for

332
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: whatever reason, they've won uncovered their last two meetings. But

333
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 2: you bring up an excellent point about Devon Larry, the

334
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: transfer from North Carolina State. He looked terrible against Vanderbilt

335
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: last week, so you don't know what you're gonna get.

336
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: Think it's a very good analysis, Okay. Georgia lane fourteen

337
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: at Auburn not a road favorites here. You got a

338
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: situation where Hugh Freeze could not heap enough praise about

339
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart. Georgia has not looked like the great Georgia.

340
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: But I think they're just playing with their food right now.

341
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me if they hung this number

342
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: at Auburn, Texas A and M beat them twenty seven

343
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: to ten. But again, I'm not willing to lay the

344
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: wood here. What are your thoughts?

345
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think eventually, and I feel the same way

346
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 7: about Michigan too. I don't have a ton of analytical

347
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 7: thoughts on this game. I haven't watched a ton of

348
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 7: Auburn yet. I think with Georgia and with the other

349
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 7: top ranked teams, we haven't seen the A plus stuff yet.

350
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 7: In fact, Georgia and Michigan the two top ranked teams,

351
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 7: they're eight no straight up, they're O and eight against

352
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 7: the spread. And it's interesting to kind of see that

353
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 7: discrepancy through the first month of the season that these

354
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 7: great teams, Right, what is the good teams win, great

355
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 7: teams cover? Well, if that's the case, and is Georgia

356
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 7: any good? And is Michigan any good? You know, I

357
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 7: think we're gonna find out a lot over the next

358
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 7: few weeks as these teams go into conference play and

359
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 7: kind of, you know, it tests the waters in a

360
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 7: different way. Very few of these teams challenge themselves in

361
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 7: non conference, so it's really hard to grade what they

362
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 7: are in September. We've had a few good games so far,

363
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 7: but we haven't had any good games. For Georgia, I

364
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 7: haven't seen them really stretch their legs, and I hope

365
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 7: it happens at some point. They certainly had the talent

366
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 7: to do so. And that's really the only analysis that

367
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 7: can provide. Georgia on their best day beat Auburn by forty.

368
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 7: But I just we don't know if it's going to

369
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 7: be their best day. It makes them a very tough

370
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 7: bet to the first two league exactly right.

371
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: So I was gonna save Michigan for last. Obviously, I

372
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: lived in that market, covered those teams for fourteen years.

373
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: My opinion on Michigan this year is not popular. I

374
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 2: will just tell you I think this is going to

375
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: be like the sixteen team where there were all kinds

376
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: of expectations and they choked it down against Iowa and

377
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: then finished the season poorly. And I think this could

378
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: is going to end up like the Chase. Oh goodness,

379
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: he's playing playing for New England. Now did the Chase

380
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: revenge year? Remember that year? And they did that did well.

381
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 2: So anyway, here'shere I'm going with that. Michigan is very

382
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: deliberate on offense, and there their offensive playbooks about a

383
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: two page pamphlets, the same four plays over Nome. Nebraska's

384
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 2: got a decent run defense. In Michigan, run the ball

385
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: and they're gonna be twenty mile an hour wins in

386
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: there and at Lincoln on Saturday. So here's my question

387
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: to you, Jared. I cannot take the eighteam the way

388
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: I've seen Nebraska play and fits and starts, but I

389
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: sure can't lay it either. I like to get your

390
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: thoughts on Michigan lane eighteen in Nebraska.

391
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 5: So I think this is a good spot for Michigan.

392
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 7: And I think, unlike Georgia, where you're right the weather

393
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 7: is going to play a factor, it's not gonna affect

394
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 7: Michigan's offense because they're right, they run the ball so much,

395
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 7: and frankly, both teams have to play in the win.

396
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 7: So I think Nebraska, if you were going to ask me,

397
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 7: you take away the passing games for both teams and

398
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 7: both teams are just running the ball, I would take

399
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 7: Michigan's run game over over Nebraska's run game. And frankly,

400
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: I think it's Michigan's defense that's really the key here.

401
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 7: Now Nebraska quarterback situation is another disaster and that's where

402
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 7: I think, really when I handicap this game, I see

403
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 7: a real edge. It's just the not catch the snap

404
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 7: against Colorado that he could not feel the snack, and

405
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 7: I don't know if there was something going on there,

406
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 7: but if it's not him, and he offers the best

407
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 7: mobility of the quarterbacks for Nebraska. Then the backups are

408
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 7: more thrower types, so then you bring in the thrower

409
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 7: type who can't run in the mile an hour wins

410
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 7: that you just mentioned. It's just this feels like a

411
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 7: game where Michigan has been in their cozy little dan

412
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 7: in Ann Arbor for a month. They haven't had their

413
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 7: coach on the sidelines for three of those four games.

414
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 7: Now they go to a hostile environment. If we haven't

415
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 7: seen the Wolverines wake up, I think this is the

416
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 7: game that we're going to see it because they've got

417
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 7: a couple of interesting spots again they I think this

418
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 7: Michigan team is kind of in cruise control for the

419
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 7: next month. But this is the one game where you

420
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 7: go to Lincoln and I think you show people that

421
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 7: you're a good team.

422
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 2: Because you go to.

423
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 7: Minnesota, you play Indiana, you play Michigan State, you played Purdue.

424
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 7: Over the next month, there's no prove it games here

425
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 7: and I think this is this is a a spot

426
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 7: for them on the road to kind of come together

427
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 7: as a team. Eventually, Georgia Michigan, one of them is

428
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 7: going to cover a number and I ope it this

429
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 7: weekend because I did bet Michigan. I like seventeen.

430
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: You may well be right, Jared. They beat Nebraska thirty

431
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: four to three last year. It is a mismatch of

432
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: Michigan brings their best and you're not wrong there. Chase

433
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: Winnovich was the guy couldn't get out of my mouth

434
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: a minute ago. Oh yeah, A couple more quickies for you,

435
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: because one game I'm mostly interested is Notre Dame Land

436
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: six at Duke, another road favorite. Duke really impressed me

437
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: that opening night against Clemson, and I want to see

438
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: how the fighting Irish rebound against a pretty good team.

439
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: Mike Elko has just done a phenomenal job. There your

440
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: thoughts on that game.

441
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

442
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 7: So the first thing that stood out to me this

443
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 7: week is when I was going through Marcus Freeman's press

444
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 7: conference and it was a somber one. And I've got

445
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 7: a buddy here in town, Tim Murray, worked for one

446
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 7: of the local networks, and you know, he's a big

447
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 7: Notre Dame fan, and he was the game and we

448
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 7: were talking. We actually did a show together today and

449
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 7: we were talking about just you know, it was a rough.

450
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: Week for Irish fans.

451
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 7: They they really had this game, they had the bowl

452
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 7: by the horn, right, and they just let them off,

453
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 7: let them off the hook. And I think the one

454
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 7: thing I that, you know, you go to the next

455
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 7: week and you focus on the next week. And the

456
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 7: one thing that stood out to me when I was watching,

457
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 7: you know, listening to Marcus Trumans fresh conference, is he

458
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 7: actually mentioned the hon State game last year and then

459
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 7: the week after he got asked the question. The week

460
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 7: after that game, remember that game was tight, not it

461
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 7: name really never challenged to win that game. But they

462
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 7: battled in that game. Remember that was the opener and

463
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 7: it was a big labor Yeah, yeah, that Sunday Night

464
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 7: of Labor.

465
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

466
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 7: Notre Dame covered that game. But they didn't win out

467
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 7: but they didn't win. But then the following week they

468
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 7: lost outright as a three touchdown favorite to Marshall. So

469
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 7: it was like the hangover lasted and it really started there.

470
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 7: You know, they started owing too, and it really changed

471
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 7: the course of their season. And I think it was

472
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 7: noteworthy that he mentioned that, and it's obviously been mentioned

473
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 7: a lot. I think that'll help. I think at their

474
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 7: core under name is much better. They're much more physical

475
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 7: than Duke. They should be able to run the ball

476
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 7: in this game estimates than a beast. I really like

477
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 7: this Duke squad. I think Mike Elkos done arguably the

478
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 7: best job you could possibly ask for. He's thirteen and

479
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 7: four in his first seventeen games a head coach at

480
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 7: Duke football, not basketball. So I just think the defense

481
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 7: and the way they're coached is it's solid. But you're

482
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 7: playing a different level in this game, and I don't

483
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 7: know if they'll be able to hang physically. And that's

484
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 7: why I think Notre Dame has the edge, but you

485
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 7: gotta put the ball on Sam Martin's hands. Only twenty

486
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 7: five throws against Ohio State. Granted, I know they're a

487
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 7: little depleted in the wide receiver group. They ran it

488
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 7: thirty nine times in that game. I think if those

489
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 7: numbers were flipped, I think Notre Dame might end up

490
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 7: beating Ohio State, but they were a little conservative. We'll

491
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 7: see what the game plan is this week, but they

492
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 7: should be able to bully ball the Blue Devils.

493
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: Jared, great stuff. I really appreciate you coming on. I

494
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: know you're a busy guy and you'll be back on

495
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: these airways and about what six and a half hours.

496
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I'm gonna I'm usually up around this time

497

Speaker 7: and I'll get a little nap in and then we'll

500
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 7: do the show about five and a half hours.

501
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: I appreciate that because as we get into the real

502
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: meat and potatoes, when the Michigan start to play the

503
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: Penn States, et cetera, November, I'd like to get you

504
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: back on again because YEH had part.

505
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 5: That's a very big game.

506
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: Oh fantastic, what a great school. All right, Jared, listen, Bud,

507
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: get some rest, Appreciate all you do for the network,

508
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: and enjoy your Saturday.

509
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.

510
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: Bernie, have a good one. Thank you. As Jared Lee Smith,

511
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: you hear him. Saturday Morning's Countown to kick off with

512
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: Rich Orenberger and Brian Knowle. These guys do a great job.

513
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: Coming up, I teased my beloved Detroit Lions. These are

514
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: not your father's Detroit Lions, and I've got receipts and yeah,

515
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: I covered that team for ten years, including the H

516
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: and sixteen teams, so these are not empty words. All right.

517
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: If you watch a little Thursday night football Thursday Night,

518
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: it's the Department of Redundancy department. You notice that the

519
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: Lions beat Green Bay this deively thirty four to twenty.

520
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: The Lions have now won six divisional games in a row.

521
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: There are eleven and three since starting one and six

522
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: last year. And yes, that defense ranked thirtieth last year.

523
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: Now they rank eleventh. If you don't think the Lions

524
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: are for real, you've got a different agenda. They are

525
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: for real. By the way, it's setting up ever so nicely.

526
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: The Bears can't get out of their own way. They're

527
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 2: zero and three. The Vikings are oh and three, and oh,

528
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: by the way, green Bay, yes they're now what what's

529
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 2: their record now? Two and two? I guess so the Lions.

530
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: And they've already got one divisional road win under their

531
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: belt against Green Bay. So we'll see. Let's not fast forward,

532
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: let's talk. Let's stay with it here and now, and

533
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: in a minute I will share with you what the

534
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 2: Lions did to completely change the complexion of that defense.

535
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: And it actually started Week seven last year with a

536
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: command decision, an executive decision that Dan Campbell made. And again,

537
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: if you don't think Dan Campbell's a good coach. You're

538
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 2: just stubborn. You just you got a different agenda for

539
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: a brief period last night. I'll give it up to

540
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: just a second because of what Green Bay did against

541
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: New Orleans the week before, where they look halpless earlier

542
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: than they come back and win. By the way, I

543
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: don't think New Orleans is that good. They haven't even

544
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 2: scored more than twenty points in any other three games.

545
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: And know Derek Carr is not the answer, but don't

546
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: get me started. It looked like the Packers might come

547
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 2: back twice in a row from big halftime deficits. Right,

548
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 2: we don't know if those cens are that good, but

549
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: the Lions are. You have the data, especially after last

550
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: night's thirty four to twenty win. Okay, this is a

551
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: very good football team. Number one. Detroit is a fluky

552
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: overtime loss away from being four to zero. Now, if

553
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: you look, if you watch the Lions objectively on offense, defense,

554
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: special teams, if you watch the line of scrimmage, if

555
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: you watch their skilled players, if you watch Jared Goff,

556
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: they've been the most impressive team. Now I think the

557
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 2: Niners are the best team. I'm not predicted the Lions

558
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: are going to the super Bowl or anything like that.

559
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: But they've been impressive. All right. The Chiefs, Bills forty

560
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 2: nine ers, they have better data, but Detroit is just

561
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: this combination of skill and grit and through four weeks. Now, listen,

562
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 2: this is your headline the seat. We're not out of

563
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: September yet, and the Lions already have road winds at

564
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: Kansas City and Green Bay. You can spend that any

565
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: way you want, or you can throw cold water on

566
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: it any way you want. The Lions have road winds

567
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: in Kansas City and Green Bay. The Lions win on

568
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. Their offensive coordinator Ben Johnson

569
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: and their defensive coordinator Aaron gleed they're gonna get head

570
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: coaching interviews next year because they've done that. Well. Don't

571
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: let the finals score full you. By the way, this

572
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: was a beatdown from the jump twenty seven to three

573
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: eight a half. Oh yeah, Jordan Love. Please stop trying

574
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: to forest feet at Jordan Love. He's okay, he's a

575
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: serviceable quarterback. He's okay. Maybe it was the constant pressure

576
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: from Aaron Glenn and their defensive unit, but he was

577
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: flat out stinky in the first half and only saved

578
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: some face in the second half. He's only completing fifty

579
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: six percent of his passes and that ranks him twenty

580
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: ninth in the league. Too early to say, you know

581
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: that he is.

582
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 7: What.

583
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: He's not a bust and he's not a failure. But

584
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: too early to say whether or not he is going

585
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: to be a serviceable replacement for Aaron Rodgers and Brett

586
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: Favre because Green Bay has been spoiled for thirty years.

587
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: But it's not too early to say. The Lion's team

588
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: is legit. And I said a minute ago their defense

589
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: was thirtieth last year. Now they're eleventh. After the Lions

590
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: started one and six, Dan Campbell called his friend and

591
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: dB coach into the office, Aubrey Pleasant. He said, I

592
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: gotta let you go. This is a results business and

593
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: we're not getting results. Aubrey Pleasant, with his defensive backs,

594
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: ran this pretty intricate risk rewards scheme. It was ineffective,

595
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: caused all kinds of communications. Probably Elmes the Lions what

596
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: they do. They installed the simpler system. It worked. Lions

597
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: were eight and two down the stretcher three and one

598
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: this year. Additionally, the Lions give it up to Brad Holmes.

599
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: Their GM long gone from the Matt Millen days. They

600
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: needed to get better in the secondary. They knew it.

601
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: So they went out and got Cam Sutton from the Steelers.

602
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 2: They got Chauncey Gardner Johnson from the Eagles. They got

603
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Moseley from the forty nine Ers, all big upgrades.

604
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: They draft incredibly well Jack Campbell out of Iowa, great

605
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: open field tackler. They draft Jamiir Gibbs, They draft the

606
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: port of Matt Laporta out of As. They're tied end

607
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: plus did I mentioned Oh, by the way, the Lions

608
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: have the ninth easiest schedule. Brian Branch two from Alabama.

609
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: They're all contributing right away. Lions also have the ninth

610
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: easiest schedule in the National Football League this year. The

611
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: teams they play have accumulative four ninety two winning percentage.

612
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: Those are their opponents. So look, I have seen good

613
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: Lions teams in the past. People think I got it

614
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: in for Matt Stafford, although I did tell you he'd

615
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: be picked off twice Monday Night against lou Anarumo's defense.

616
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: Sure enough, he was, and that costs the Rams a game.

617
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: Same with the week before. That's our guy. He'll get

618
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame votes. And he was the quarterback on

619
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: the Rams Super Bowl team. But look, Stafford had plenty

620
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: of help in Detroit in twenty fourteen. They had seven

621
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: Pro bowlers that was a third ranked defense. They had

622
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: a Dominicance Sue and Calvin Johnson. They got to the playoffs,

623
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: went on the road against Dallas. Stafford turned it over

624
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: twice in the fourth quarter and they lost. So I'm

625
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: not gonna get my hope, Sep. I'm not gonna predict

626
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: grandeur for the Lions. But they go to the playoffs

627
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: and for now they're for real and they approved it

628
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: last night. And if you refuse to accept that, they

629
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: just get with a year and now again you've got

630

00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,880

666
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: Stroud has been remarkable now. I think earlier today mccollins

667
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: said something about he's so in love with Kayleb Williams

668
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: that he would give up TJ. Watt three picks, three

669
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: number one picks and Jordanecks for Caleb Williams. Okay, alrighty,

670
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: Then you got to remember this success rate for NFL

671
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: first round quarterbacks is less than fifty percent. In fact,

672
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: since nineteen sixty seven, only nine first round quarterbacks have

673
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: actually led their original team to a Super Bowl. And

674
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 2: out of the one hundred and forty eight first round

675
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: quarterbacks drafted in that time period, that's not great. Odds.

676
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: Do the math. Nine out of one hundred and forty eight,

677
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: and you want to give up two Pro Bowl starters,

678
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: three number one draft picks for a winking of promise. Well,

679
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 2: I don't know the way CJ. Stroud's playing now? Did

680
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: you know that? CJ. Stroud of Ohio State, the Ohio

681
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 2: State University and now of the Houston Texas is the

682
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: first quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than

683
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: nine hundred yards, four passing touchdowns, and have zero interceptions

684
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: in their first three starts. He also has CJ. Stroud

685
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 2: also has the most attempts of any NFL quarterback without

686
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: an interception this season. This is why never buy the

687
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: argument and Justin Fields goes to Chicago, he doesn't have

688
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 2: any help. It's all their fall play him everybody else.

689
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: He's five and thirty as a starter for a reason.

690
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 5: C J.

691
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 2: Stroud is proving that if you can play the position

692
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: at what the job description requires in the NFL level,

693
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: you can have success. Through three games, c J. Stroud

694
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: and again these are the Houston Texans, the drafted second

695
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 2: overall last year. Through three games, Stroud has completed seventy

696
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: three at one oh three. That's seventy one percent eight

697
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven years, all four of its touchdowns.

698
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: This is the part I like all four of his

699
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: touchdown passes while inside the pocket, Thank you very much.

700
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 2: You have to operate from the pocket now, outside the pocket,

701
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: where Stroud was often dangerous as a playmaker in college. Actually,

702
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 2: Stroud's only completed five of eighteen throws twenty eight percent

703
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 2: for twenty nine yards. Blah blah blah. I'm not picking

704
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: on him. He was probably under duress. Okay, he didn't

705
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 2: just drop back. I don't know what I'm looking at,

706
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: so I just take off and run because that's what

707
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: I've always done. Those darn coaches are trying to teach

708
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 2: me how to play quarterback, but you know, I just

709
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: need to go out my instincts. That's why we're five

710
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: and thirty. No, Stroud was probably under duress, tried to

711
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: keep plays the line. But watch him. He operates from

712
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 2: the pocket amazingly. He's accomplished all of this. He's receiving

713
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: snaps behind a very unsettled, a very injury riddle offensive

714
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: line that is allowing the third highest pressure rate in

715
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: the league. But this is what happens when you can

716
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: make pred post matp reads and he can do it.

717
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: I was moved, honestly, when the Knight CJ. Stroud was drafted.

718
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: I was moved by his oratory and how he was

719
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: interviewed off the cuff. I really liked him, and I

720
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 2: like Bryce Shawn a lot too. But Stroud's your guy.

721
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: So far. He leads the league with his seventy seven

722
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: point eight completion percentage against man coverage. Again, that's recognition

723
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty two yards, two touchdowns, and the

724
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: average lead completion percentage against man coverage is fifty eight percent.

725
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 2: Stroud's at seventy seven percent. I cannot say enough good

726
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 2: things about c J. Stroud, And oh, by the way,

727
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: I had Houston last week plus ten and a half

728
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: and they won outright, give it up. So you know

729
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: I love Dion Sanders and you know I love c J. Stroud.

730
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: Oh by the way, Dion, this is the part for

00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of newcomers and the old standbys, So

770
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: why don't you get the ball, Shay.

771
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 8: Let's get this going. All right. We got Nathan from

Speaker 2: All right, Well, Nathan, we're glad to have you back.

775
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, Poppy won it last year and

776
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 2: he called it every week, so consistency and persistency is

777
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: often rewarded. All right, Shae, what do we got?

778
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 8: So with our first question, we're gonna go with this.

779
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 8: Which country is the NFL matchup between the Jaguars and

780
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 8: Falcons taking place this week?

781
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 5: Uh?

782
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 2: England? There you go, baby, have a little beans on toast,

783
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: bangers and mash, scotch, eggs, fish and chips. Right, sounds terrible?

784
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 2: All right, let's go.

785
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 8: The game is set to take off Sunday at six

786
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 8: thirty eight Pacific Standard time. The over under is set

787
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 8: at forty three points. What are you guys taking.

788
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go under, actually gonna go over here. I

789
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: know that Jacksonville's offense has been terrible. Pardon me, I've

790
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: said darn it? Well, no, hey, you might You might

791
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 2: be right, Nathan, I'm not the burning bush here, Palell,

792
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: you have an equal chance to win this darn thing.

793
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: And I will tell you baas based on what you've

794
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: observed the way Jacksonville's offense couldn't score. You know, Husseinville

795
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: repute with a fist full of fifties and Atlanta runs

796
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 2: the ball. This could be a low scoring game. What

797
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: I have found though, you should get these two teams

798
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: over there and they open things up. So all you

799
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 2: need is twenty one twenty one tie and it's going

800
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: over but hey, good luck and hold it down there

801
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: in Orlando. And thanks for checking in, Nathan. Do you

00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: want to say something? Thank you, Bernie? Okay, thank you, Nathan,

00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 8: And with our next one, we got Poppy from SD Poppy.

805
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: Hey, Bernie, Party's are officially eliminated. Man oh no, oh, no,

806
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: I know it's okay.

807
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 5: We're gonna go with the Baltimore Orioles Oriols. We're gonna

808
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 5: go to the World Series.

809
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: Guys, wouldn't happen? Would not that not be a great story?

810
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: Their win total this year over under it was seventy seven.

811
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'll make a prediction. I predicted

812
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: doom and glue for the Potters. I bet you they're

813
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: gonna be good next year. You know why, pythagoream theorem.

814
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 2: They outscore their opponents by ninety eight runs this year.

815
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: You have to run the outside looking in. They'll come

816
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: back next year because there won't be any expectations. All right,

817
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: what have we got for Poppy?

818
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 8: So Poppy who leads the league in passing tds so

819
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 8: far this year in the NFL? Their guess, Poppy, Poppy,

820
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 8: did we lose you?

821
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: What happened to Poppy.

822
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 8: Pobby you still there? We lost them. It looks like

823
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 8: we lost all Rightoby.

824
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: Well, Poppy calls back, so we can get in.

825
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 8: We'll get you.

826
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: You know what. You might have me stumped on this one.

827
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna say Patrick Mahomes, but I wait a minute.

828
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: It's gotta be tool right, Okay. I don't get credit

829
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: for that. I didn't say that first, and I don't

830
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 2: want to screw up my pristine ninety record. But Tua

831
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: did not come out of my mouth first. So uh no,

832
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: good is Poppy back?

833
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 8: And we got Poppy back?

834
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm back.

835
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: All right, Poppy, You're like the Potteris man when we're

836
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: calming on here there man, all right, did you hear

837
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 2: that trivia question?

838
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 5: I heard a little bit and I got disconnected.

839
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 2: I got all right, go ahead and give it to him.

840
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: I trust him, Go ahead and give it.

841
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 8: So who leads the league in passing touchdowns so far

842
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 8: this year in the NFL?

843
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one.

844
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 5: I'm going with the Chansas City Chief. Tat to Mahomes.

845
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: Oh, don't feel like the lone ranger, right, Mahomes came

846
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 2: out of my mouth for I caught myself and realized

847
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 2: that Miami scored ten touchdowns last week.

848
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: Oh it's too all right, what do we got for

849
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: our bed?

850
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 8: Here for Poppy, So we're gonna go back to the Dolphins.

851
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 8: The Dolphins are taking on the Bills at ten am

852
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 8: Pacific Standard time on Sunday. The Bills are minus two

853
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 8: and a half going into the matchup. Do you think

854
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 8: they cover?

855
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 5: You know, that's gonna be a tough matchup. I know

856
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 5: Josh Allon it's five and one again to us, So yeah,

857
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna cover. I'm gonna go with Josh

858
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 5: Allen and the Buffalo Bill.

859
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: You know what, I have to agree. I played Buffalo

860
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: half a unit this week as well. I think I

861
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: think it's a different situation. Miami stepping up a little

862
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: here and no one can keep that pace up, and

863
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo's defense will be probably the best defense they faced.

864
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: Uh well, actually New England's defense was pretty good. New

865
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: England hung with them, it hadn't been for the turnovers.

866
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: So I like Buffalo to get it done.

867
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 7: All right, Good luck, Poppy, Thank you Ernie, Thank you

868
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 7: guys much.

Speaker 2: All right, all right, Shay.

875
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 8: This player just tied the Brave single season franchise record

876
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 8: for stolen bases with seventy two stolen bases. Who is

877
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 8: this player?

878
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: Well, that would be the MVP to be Ronald Acuna.

879
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing. Acuna not only stole seventy three, he had

880
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 2: forty home runs. Forty and seventy Can you imagine? Wow? Incredible.

881
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: He's not bad. All right, what do we got, Jay?

882
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 8: The Raiders are taking on the Chargers this Sunday at

883
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 8: one oh five pm Pacific Standard time. The Chargers are

884
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 8: minus five going into the matchups. Do they cover?

885
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 5: Oh?

886
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 10: Boy, so we got the Chargers.

887
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 5: Are they at home?

888
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in LA, but if you want to call

889
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: it home, they've got the they've got the worst home.

890
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, Chargers minus five?

891
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: You say, yeah, I think.

892
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 2: The Chargers are due to break out.

893
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: I'll reluctantly say the Chargers win and cover.

894
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 2: Well, you sures think so, but they got that goofy

895
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 2: coach Brandon Staley first in line for a front of

896
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 2: the botomy. But on the other side, on the other side,

897
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy g is still in concussion protocol. And it's a

898
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: game I would not bet, but believe it or not

899
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: believe it or not for whatever reason, the Raiders is

900
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: a dog in this series. I'm gonna hold you said that.

901
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: What number did you give?

902
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 8: Five?

903
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be looking for hopefully Brandon Staley more coaching malpractice.

904
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 2: But then Josh mcdanmie's on the other side. We've got

905
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 2: like freaking frack here. I'm gonna hold my nose and

906
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: take the Raiders just because, but I don't feel great

907
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: about it. So good luck, Dave.

908
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you very much, Thank you, Dave.

909

912
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: what do we got tonight for Kurt?

913
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 7: So?

914
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 8: What team did former Sun center DeAndre Ayton get traded

915
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 8: in the three team trade that went down this past

916
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 8: week in the NBA.

917
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:37,919
Speaker 2: That would be the Milwaukee Fuck. Oh wait a minute, now,

918
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 2: I'm having a brain cramp.

919
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 8: He's it is a tricky it's a little bit of

920
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 8: a trick question.

921
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: I think I may be whiffing on this one too.

922
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: I can't Yeah, I can't give myself credit. I mean,

923
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: the three teams involved were were the Blazers, Bucks and Suns, right,

924
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:56,600

937
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,439

938
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 2: been a I mean strikeout to walk ratio is outstanding,

939
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 2: is the he's outstanding. The Dodgers mahammer Christian Beck. But

940

Speaker 2: and play the under. But good luck, Kurt hey Burn. Yeah,

942
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: I don't think Fauburn is gonna need the points to

00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 2: swee You really think you Freeze as a fourteen point

944
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: underdog is gonna beat Georgie out right?

945
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 5: Didn't they have a bye last week?

946
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:12,840

Speaker 2: No, they played they well wait a minute, they might have,

949
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: but they they struggled mightily against Cal a very lousy team.

950
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: Couldn't move the ball at all. So if you look

951
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: at transitive property, hey, look, stranger things have happened. Let's

952

Speaker 2: see you Freeze is uh, he has pulled some rabbits

953
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 2: out of his hat in his past. If you're on

954
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,080

00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 2: to believe Georgia would drop their guard. Dude, do better

1029
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 2: the middle of the page. On the left. There are

1030
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 2: some people that look like winners. On the right, well,

1031
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 2: they are the opposite of winners based on how they

1032
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 2: have performed or recent events, lack of results. I'll break

1033
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:35,919
Speaker 2: it down for you. We'll start to get a little

1034
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 2: granular on college football as we have the final weekend

00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 2: dot Com studio is here, Las Vegas, Nevada. Will take

1041
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 2: you up to two am Pacific, five am Eastern and

1042
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 2: as we are nearing another action pack college football Saturday,

1043
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 2: and we're now to the point of the season. Most

1044
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: teams have played four games. You only played twelve. So

1045
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 2: you start to sort the minor from the you know what.

1046
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 2: You draw a line down the page on the left.

1047
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: You got people I put in the winners category, starting

1048
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 2: with Florida State. I said weeks ago, I thought of

1049
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 2: Florida State. Got pasted LSU. They've got to be on

1050
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: the short list now to get to the final four.

1051
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 2: They beat Clemson at Clemson, where Clemson had been sixty

1052
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,280
Speaker 2: four and two thirty one to twenty four in overtime.

1053
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: You're now an official changing of the guard in the SEC.

1054
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 2: This ushers in the seminoles. Perhaps there is in fact

1055
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 2: a real return to prominence eight years after basically Clemson

1056
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 2: took ownership of the conference. Now we'll see where they

1057
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 2: go from here. But as long as Jordan Travis, their

1058
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 2: dynamic quarterback, continues to play at the level, he's gonna

1059
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,479
Speaker 2: get Heisman Trophy votes. And you got to give fourth

1060
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: year coach Mike Norvel a lot of credit. But the

1061
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 2: big picture, Floria State, yes, they are now better than

1062
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 2: Clemson period. Ohio State, Okay, the end of the year.

1063
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 2: They don't ask Kyle just how many we know Notre

1064
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 2: Dame probably should have won that game, but that final

1065
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: drive will be in the highlight montage if the Ohio

1066
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 2: State Buckeyes go on this year to get to the playoffs.

1067
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 2: That you know, let's not forget before that faithful decision

1068
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 2: non decision by Notre Dame's coach. Well, Ohio State win

1069
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: sixty five yards and under ninety seconds. They scored on

1070
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 2: a short touchdown run one second on the clock. They

1071
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 2: trailed for fifty nine minutes and fifty nine seconds. They

1072
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 2: beat Number nine Notre Dame at Notre Dame seventeen to fourteen,

1073
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 2: and along the way, you saw their young quarterback Kyle

1074
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 2: McCord very much mature right in front of your eyes

1075
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 2: on National TV at Notre Dame, made several cluts through,

1076
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 2: finished with two hundred and forty yards, did not throw

1077
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 2: a pick. You also saw a great strong play from

1078
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 2: Trevion Henderson hopefully he stays healthy all this year, and

1079
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: even a standout game from Marvin Harrison Junior, who got

1080
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 2: injured in the second half. But moreover, the Ohio State

1081
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 2: defense stood up and ry Ryan Day could not contain

1082
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,959
Speaker 2: himself at the end of the game. Ohio State they're

1083
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 2: on the winners ledger. So is Alabama. Believe it or not.

1084
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 2: Now this is gonna be a pulling teeth type of

1085
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 2: season for Obama. They're still ranked twelve given the state

1086
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 2: of their offense, which might have been a little better.

1087
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 2: They beat Mississippi twenty four to ten. You know, Tommy

1088
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 2: Reese has not been great as the OC but the

1089
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 2: defense stepped up, stepped up. Okay, they allowed Lane Kiffin's

1090
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 2: group just four yards of play. Jalen Milroe seventeen on

1091
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 2: a twenty one with a touchdown, but he did throw

1092
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 2: a bad interception. But we're gonna get him a Hall

1093
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 2: pass because at the end, they don't ask Kyle just

1094
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 2: how many BAMA survives in advances. Don't bet against Nick Sabate,

1095
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 2: not just yet Penn State. Now, Penn State's ranked number

1096
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 2: seven for a reason. They destroyed Iowa thirty one to nothing.

1097
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 2: That says all you need to know about the state

1098
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 2: of the Hawkeyes offense. Okay, because they did score forty

1099
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: one against Western Michigan the year before, but give it

1100
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 2: up to the Nindney Allons. They allowed just seventy six yards.

1101
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: Seventy six yards. This is a conference game. Sixteen what

1102
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 2: like fifty six through the year and twenty on the ground.

1103
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't get any worse than that. By the way,

1104
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: Penn State also showed they can be very, very physical.

1105
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 2: All right, They're flexible, they're adaptable. Drew Aller had four

1106
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: touchdowns with an interception. Again, I'm already looking ahead. I

1107
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 2: can't help but I believe he's November eleventh, when Michigan

1108
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 2: goes to Penn State. That's going to be a great game.

1109
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: But Ohio State will host Penn State a couple weeks

1110
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 2: before that. For now Penn State, he's in the winners column.

1111
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: We'll see if they can hold it. Duke and Kansas

1112
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 2: a couple of teams known for their basketball exploits. Well,

1113
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 2: they're in the winters column, but they're you know, no

1114
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 2: rest for the weary. Kansas has Texas and Duke has

1115
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. But I love Duke quarterback Riley Leonard. He

1116
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 2: continued his hot play last week. Yeah, I was Yukon.

1117
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 2: They blew him out. Utah would have been in the

1118
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 2: Winter Circle, but they did not do well tonight. They

1119
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 2: were four to zero heading into Friday night's game, and

1120
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: all of the wins that's come against Power five competition.

1121
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: Things don't look so good for Utah right now. They

1122
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 2: better get Cam Rising back fast right. Give it up

1123
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 2: to Northwestern. Come on, man, this was crazy. Northwestern trailed

1124
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 2: Minnesota thirty one to ten after three quarters, thirty one

1125
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 2: to twenty four with just over two minutes. They scored

1126
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 2: the game tying touchdown with five seconds remaining. Then they

1127
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 2: beat Minnesota thirty seven thirty four. I think that boat

1128
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 2: that Minnesota was rowing sunk. I don't know what happened

1129
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 2: to PJ. Fleck. I had bigger expectations for him in

1130
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 2: that program. They barely beat Nebraska, they lose to Northwestern

1131
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 2: Minnesota is not a good team, but this is a

1132
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 2: huge win for the interim coach though with Northwestern Wildcats,

1133
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 2: if you don't know his name, we'll say it on

1134
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 2: national radio, David Brown. Look, they're expected to finish dead

1135
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 2: last into Big Ten. Instead, Hey give it up. Northwestern

1136
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:27,479
Speaker 2: is two and two. They're two losses to Rutgers and Duke.

1137
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 2: I also want to give a wink and a nod

1138
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: to the Wyoming Cowboys. Craig Boll always manages the field,

1139
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 2: a very physical team that blocks and tackles. Well, you

1140
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 2: remember he came from North Dakota State. You know the

1141
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz is the Trey Lance all those teams. That

1142
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 2: bull was gone when Trey Lance got there. But those

1143
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 2: North Dakota State teams are tremendous. Cowboys making a case

1144
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 2: for being counted among a handful of teams in the

1145
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 2: group of five that are near the best. They were

1146
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 2: down twelve to that pesky app State team and they

1147
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 2: come back and win twenty two to nineteen. Wyoming now

1148
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 2: three to one. They had a very competitive lost in

1149
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 2: Texas but remember they also beat Texas Tech in the

1150
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 2: season opener. Well, for every winner, there's gotta be a loser, right,

1151
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 2: Maybe the Moniker is not fair, but you get the

1152
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 2: point these folks I'm about to share with you. You

1153
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 2: can't deny e. They're on the other side of the ledger.

1154
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a second, but first

1155
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 2: let's go back to our guy, Kevin figures with the latest.

1156
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 11: All right, Bernie, still much to be left decided. With

1157
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 11: the couple of days remaining in baseball's regular season, we'll

1158
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 11: start in the National League, the Marlins overcame a late

1159
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 11: three to nothing deficit to beat Pittsburgh four to three.

1160
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 11: They have a one and a half game lead over

1161
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 11: the Cubs and Reds for the final wildcard spot. Cincinnati

1162
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 11: blasted Saint Louis nineteen to two. They had six home

1163
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 11: runs in that game. Cubs lost to the Brewers four

1164
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 11: to three and ten innings, and the American League. Seattle

1165
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 11: hit three home runs, including a grand slam. They hammered

1166
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 11: the Rangers eight nothing. Houston got a qualities start from

1167
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 11: Jose Urkety. They defeated Arizona two to one. Texas a

1168
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 11: one game lead over Houston a top the AL West,

1169
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 11: while Seattle is two games back. Houston also a one

1170
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 11: game lead over Seattle for the final wildcard in the

1171
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 11: AL and golf. All of today's foursome matchups are underway

1172
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 11: at the Ryder Cup Europe six and a half points

1173
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 11: or as up six and a half points to one

1174
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 11: and a half points, I should say, over the United

1175
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 11: States so far for the tournament, and in college football

1176
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 11: nineteen rank Oregon State allowed just fifty seven yards rushing

1177
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 11: to the utes. They beat Utah twenty one to seven.

1178
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 11: BYU defeated Cincinnati thirty five to seventeen. You also had

1179
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 11: victories for Louisville and Louisiana Tech. Back to Bernie Fratto.

1180
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks so much, Kevin. All right, Clemson, it's been

1181
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 2: an incredible run. Seven ACC championships, two national championships, four

1182
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 2: trips to the National Championship Game, five trips to the playoff.

1183
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 2: All of this since twenty fifteen. Clemson is still regarded

1184
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 2: as a top end program. Their goals now now might

1185
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 2: just be relegated to win the ACC and hope for

1186
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 2: a playoff Perth, but a dynasty, at least for now,

1187
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 2: appears to be over when you get beaten Death Valley

1188
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 2: when you've only lost twice there, I think there's out

1189
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 2: of the last sixty six games. You've just handed the

1190
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 2: Seminoles the title of the new boss of the ACC

1191
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 2: and they are that league's strongest contender now to be

1192
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: ordered a spot in the top four, and they can be.

1193
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 2: They can be. You know, you beat Clemson in Death Valley,

1194
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 2: and you beat LSU early on, it's gonna get crowded

1195
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 2: near the top. One of the things in IL has done,

1196
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 2: one of the things that Transfer Portal has done, it's

1197
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 2: create more parody near the top. There are eight or

1198
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 2: nine teams that are going to make a case. I

1199
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 2: think Utah probably fell out of that list last night.

1200
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Tonight Friday Night. Can't kind of out yet. They to

1201
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: have everything in front of them. But there's still a

1202
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 2: lot of undefeated teams out there. So Clemson is very

1203
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 2: much hurt by their two losses they've lost to Duke

1204
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 2: and Florida State. Their decline, well, frankly, you can't really

1205
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 2: say it's sudden. Okay, they've sort of regressed over the

1206
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 2: last several seasons, and so when you pass the torch

1207
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 2: back to Florida State, I was in frankly surprised that

1208
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 2: Clemson put up that big a fight and it was

1209
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 2: a big turnover that Florida State had to take advantage

1210
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 2: of it. Clemson gonna won the game, but it's not

1211
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 2: the same Clemson team, and I think dappleswinning knows it.

1212
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame they're on the right side of the list

1213
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 2: right now. I think they have a very long road

1214
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 2: to get to the playoffs. They cannot afford to lose

1215
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 2: another game. They cannot and they're gonna have Duke in

1216
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: USC and there's some gaunt, there's a gauntlet in there.

1217
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 2: They needed one stop six inches to get what I

1218
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 2: think would be Notre Dame's biggest win in what a

1219
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 2: decade or longer. They haven't beaten Ohio States in nineteen

1220
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 2: thirty six, where they still have it. And we'll see

1221
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 2: how Notre Dame reacts against Duke, but I think they'll react,

1222
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 2: they'll respond. Duke's a good team, Duke's stepping up in class.

1223
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: But if Notre Dame, but this is gonna be a

1224
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,479
Speaker 2: season of ifs and wats. If they'd made that late

1225
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 2: stand and pulled out the win, the Irish would have

1226
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 2: had so much more breathing room the rest of the way.

1227
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 2: They have a manageable schedule, but they do have Again,

1228
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Duke's not not a pushover, but you're gonna have USC.

1229
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 2: But that's doable, right because I don't like USC's defense. However,

1230
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 2: having said all that, you know you still got to

1231
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 2: play the game. You still got to play the game.

1232
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: Doable but not easy, all right. So you heard me

1233
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 2: singing the praises and the glowing praises of Dion Sanders

1234
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 2: at the top of the show, and I meant everything

1235
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 2: I said. But for this past week, both Dion and

1236
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 2: Schador they had a rough one. Okay, Chador Sanders, I

1237
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 2: think his heisman Campaig is over. He's not gonna win

1238
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 2: the Heisman. He's not even going to be in the

1239
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 2: short list. I still love the guy. I think he's

1240
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 2: the first round draft choice. There's only one way I

1241
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 2: think he could One way. I think he could rekindle

1242
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 2: that heisman talk if USC somehow manages to beat or

1243
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 2: check that, if Colorado manages to beat USC and they

1244
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 2: kick off about eight and a half hours from now.

1245
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 2: But come on, man, Sanders was under pressure constantly against

1246
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 2: Oregon and the Buffalo's you know. I mean he really

1247
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,439
Speaker 2: missed his Travis Hunter. He had twenty three completions, thirty

1248
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 2: three attempts, only one hundred and fifty nine yards, got

1249
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 2: sacks seven times, and for the first time his dad,

1250
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 2: for the first time in his major college coaching career, Dion,

1251
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 2: He's going to have to respond to a negative result

1252
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 2: inside that locker room and try to keep the Buffs

1253
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 2: on an even keel. They're eight and a half hours

1254
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 2: away from kicking it off against USC. I do think

1255
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 2: you'll see a different effort. I don't think, yes, he's

1256
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 2: gonna I didn't look. I didn't bet the game. Es

1257
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 2: he's laying twenty two. This could be a fifty to

1258
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 2: twenty four. I don't know. They could hang that number.

1259
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 2: Both sides could, so why bother. I'm not a fan

1260
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 2: of USC's defense. I do expect them to pressure Shadoor,

1261
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 2: but I do expect Colorado to make some adjustments. Look,

1262
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 2: they still got athletes. They've done what they've done their

1263
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 2: three and one. I don't believe they're beating MESSI all right.

1264
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 2: I want to give a lot of credit to Oregon

1265
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 2: State because after losing the Pack two championship game last week,

1266
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 2: to Washington State thirty eight to thirty five. Because I'm

1267
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 2: a big fan of this Oregon State team and just

1268
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 2: the way they play, and I was talking about them

1269
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 2: having the best defense. I thought in the Pac two

1270
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 2: Pac twelve, what are you going to call it? And

1271
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 2: yet last week Washington State put up a thirty eight

1272
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: burder around them. That game showed a very high quality

1273
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 2: and high level of play for both teams and both programs,

1274
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: and it's unfortunate that they're both about to be left

1275
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 2: out of the Power five. It really genuinely is. And

1276
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 2: what Oregon State did Friday night against Utah was very impressive,

1277
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 2: with or without Cameron Rising. Okay, but what Oregon State

1278
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 2: also did last week. They're down thirty eighth, or check that,

1279
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 2: thirty five to fourteen entering the final quarter, they go

1280
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 2: on a twenty one to three run to get within

1281
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 2: a field goal, unable to recover an on sidekick with

1282
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 2: a minute left. Okay, it's hard to win them all,

1283
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 2: but man, this Oregon State program honestly is for real.

1284
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 2: And what they did Friday night against Utah, well major,

1285
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,959
Speaker 2: major tip of the cap for you Oregon State Beaver fans.

1286
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 2: This team's gonna be heard from the remainder of the year.

1292
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 2: Mitchin tidbits regarding the NFL and teams who start owing three,

1293
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 2: teams who start oh and two and uh, the reality

1294
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 2: of such issues. But fortunately the Bengals were able to

1295
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 2: stave off misery. They did not start owing three. I

1296
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 2: want to talk about them for just a second as

1297
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 2: well as we take a minute to look ahead to

1298
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 2: the NFL. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're comedy live from the

Speaker 2: it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on

1301
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the Bernie Fradtle Show,

1302
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live from the tyrack dot Com

1303
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. Top of the hour. There

1304
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 2: was a little trade in the NBA this week. We're

1305
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 2: gonna kind of break it down a little bit for

1306
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 2: you it. Uh, it's a little shocking to me, but regardless,

1307
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 2: it's a blockbuster and we're bringing the crew to get

1308
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 2: their thoughts as well. But we've also got NFL starting

1309
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 2: to take shape, and this is the juncture in the

1310
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,560
Speaker 2: season where you just look at certain patterns that are undeniable.

1311
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 2: When you go back to two thousand and two, that's

1312
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 2: the year that the NFL expanded to thirty two clubs.

1313
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 2: If you were one of the ninety nine teams to

1314
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 2: start ozen three exactly one the twenty eighteen Houston Texans

1315
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 2: recovered to reach the playoffs. Yes, that means there's a

1316
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 2: one percent shot for the Carolina Panthers, the Chicago Bears,

1317
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos, and yes, the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota is

1318
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 2: own three despite not losing any of its games by

1319
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 2: more than six points. Yes, they are the defending NFC

1320
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 2: North champions. Yes they were eleven to zero. They once

1321
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 2: scored games in twenty twenty two. Oh, by the way,

1322
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 2: the Vikings have lost seven fumbles this season. I told

1323
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 2: you the Pythagoream theorem doesn't lie. They gave up three

1324
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 2: more points than they scored last year and managed to

1325
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 2: go thirteen and four that should have been a nine

1326
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 2: and eight season. These things, this math typically will regress

1327
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 2: or progress back to the mean. By the way of

1328
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 2: the thirty two teams starting owen two since twenty nineteen,

1329
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals last year, well they're the only ones to

1330
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 2: salvage a postseason birth see in the NFL. If you

1331
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 2: want to be an eighty six percenter, twelve of the

1332
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 2: past fourteen teams to start three in all, well, they

1333
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 2: got into the playoffs. That's very encouraging news because the

1334
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:38,480
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins, the Philadelphia Eagles, and San fran San Francisco

1335
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers would brought perty who continues to play

1336
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 2: mistake free football are in the cat bird seat. By

1337
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 2: the way, just for giggles, purely want to get deep

1338
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 2: into the weeds. The ninety two San Diego Chargers started

1339
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 2: own to four and they still made it to the playoffs.

1340
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 2: I don't recommend that you do that. Back to the

1341
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, I sat here last weekend and said, I

1342
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 2: like the Bengals to win Monday night. The Rams got

1343
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 2: an excuse me, touchdown late right on schedule. My buddy

1344
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford through two picks it's what he does. Man,

1345
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 2: You'll see, it's what he does. He's not the same

1346
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 2: without twenty eight Hall of Famers around him. And I'll

1347
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 2: give him his props. He's gonna get Hall of Fame votes.

1348
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 2: He's throwing for a gazillion yards and he's got a

1349
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 2: Super Bowl ring. But he'll drive you nuts. U. Can

1350
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 2: you imagine if the Bengals had started owing three. This

1351
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 2: team was built to contend. The front office just gave

1352
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow two hundred and nineteen million guaranteed BUMPCAF or not.

1353
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 2: If you're winless at zero to three with a loaded

1354
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 2: roster and soaring expectations, depression can set in pretty quickly

1355
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 2: among NFL fan bases. But fortunately the Bengals fans don't

1356
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 2: have to live in that world. Despite Burrow looking less

1357
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 2: than one hundred percent Cincinnati, well, they gritted out a

1358
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 2: nineteen sixteen win last last Monday over the Rams. And

1359
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 2: if I were a Bengals fan, it was you didn't

1360
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 2: enjoy it. It's like going to the dentist. But you

1361
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 2: walk out of there probably better off than you were before.

1362
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 2: But it would have been very difficult to watch. But again,

1363
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 2: you know Nolan Ryan once said the mark of a

1364
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 2: great pitcher is when you win games even though you

1365
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 2: don't have your best stuff. Well, since he didn't have

1366
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 2: their best stuff, Burrow was faced. You know, he was

1367
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 2: sacked a couple of times. He faced pressure the entire game.

1368
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 2: And the Cincinnati on paper is a team that has weapons,

1369
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 2: their weapons all over the field, but they could manage

1370
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 2: just one touchdown. So this was like a sloppy, sloggy grind.

1371
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 2: Not pretty. They don't draw pictures in the scorebook. But

1372
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 2: on the other side of the ball is I've told

1373
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 2: you lou Anarumo, and that defense has been so underrated

1374
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 2: now for four years. They sacked Matt Stafford six times

1375
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 2: rams and but you know how I great quarterbacks, a

1376
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 2: third down, red zone, fourth quarter. Rams were just one

1377
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 2: of eleven on third downs. And yes, just like I said,

1378
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford was picked off twice before the season. I

1379
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: think that Bengals fans may have been worried about some departures,

1380
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: including Jesse Bates, who I think is a was a

1381
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 2: terrific player. You had to hate to see him go.

1382
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: But Bengals have shown that don't do not write them off.

1383
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 2: They are on the short list to you know, be

1384
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 2: in Super Bowl conversation, very much so. And by the way,

1385
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals defense Monday night. I don't know if you

1386
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 2: guys do you like these? Do you like these double

1387
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 2: headers on Monday Night? I haven't made up my mind

1388
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 2: if I like him or not. I mean, more football

1389
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:51,719
Speaker 2: is always better than less football, but particularly the back East.

1390
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 2: I mean one of the games isn't even kicking off

1391
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 2: the left ten o'clock at night, for grant out loud.

1392
01:13:56,200 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 2: So anyway, the early game, if you want to call

1393
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 2: at that, you saw a couple of elite defensive units. Well, actually,

1394
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 2: since he was an elite defensive unit. Philly Wow, coming

1395
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 2: off the Super Bowl, losstery, defying the odds. They're three

1396
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 2: in all. They completely smothered the Bucks, the Buccaneers, who'd

1397
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: come into the game two another no two in one.

1398
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 2: They beat him twenty five to eleven. But that doesn't

1399
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 2: tell the story. Philly's defense held the Bucks to just

1400
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:33,799
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy four yards of offense. Meanwhile, DeAndre Swift,

1401
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 2: who comes over from Detroit back in his hometown of Philadelphia,

1402
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 2: he was tremendous. Never forgot he only got one carry

1403
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 2: week one. Why that happened. I don't know, And they

1404
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 2: were making Taylor Swift references. By the way, he does

1405
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 2: share a locker room with the other Kelsey. But Deandres

1406
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: Swift was outstanding. Philadelphia is very much for real. Boy.

1407
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 2: The NFC is loaded, and we always talk about the

1408
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 2: SEB loaded, and they are because you know, Kansas City

1409
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:08,520
Speaker 2: and Buffalo and this year of course Miami and Cincinnati.

1410
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 2: But man, you know, between the Chargers and I mean

1411
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 2: check that, between the forty nine Ers and the Eagles,

1412
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:18,839
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to put the Cowboys

1413
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 2: in there. We'll see how they do against New England

1414
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 2: this week. Dak Prescott right on schedule. It matters most.

1415
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 2: He'll have a dumb pregame speech afterward, you know, by

1416
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,560
Speaker 2: the way, what's he doing saying, Oh, the media, you

1417
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,879
Speaker 2: all got what you wanted. You put us on this pedestal.

1418
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 2: I'll never put you on any pedestal. Pal. I don't

1419
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 2: hear anybody who did it either name names. Now Dallas

1420
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 2: has a lead defense. It's too bad they lost, you know,

1421
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 2: Trevon Diggs. That's a huge loss. But if you lose

1422
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 2: one player, then you're you know, that's that's on you.

1423
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 2: But Dak Prescott, I've never had expectations out of him,

1424
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 2: and people are warming up to that. But it matters

1425
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 2: most in a high leverage situation, when the situation demands

1426
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 2: you to be great. He's never great. But thanks for

1427
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 2: the dumb post game speeches. But Philly's defense for real,

1428
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 2: they're one of three remaining undefeated teams again along with

1429
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,560
Speaker 2: Miami and San Francisco. And if you really watch Philadelphia

1430
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,879
Speaker 2: a week to week, they haven't really had a genuine

1431
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 2: complete game yet on both sides of the ball. And uh,

1432
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:21,480
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna get heavily into the NFL on Saturday,

1433
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 2: like like we always do. And there's some very interesting

1434
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 2: matchups in the in the NFL this week, right, and

1435
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 2: you there is no rest. I always it always bugs

1436
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,719
Speaker 2: me when someone says, well, they got a really easy

1437
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 2: schedule coming up. The NFL is a gauntlet, all right. Yes,

1438
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 2: the Eagles are laying a touchdown to the Washington Commanders,

1439
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,440
Speaker 2: but that's a divisional game. And do not be surprised

1440
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,839
Speaker 2: if Washington hangs around and turns it into a fistfight.

1441
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 2: In the phone booth. Philadelphia with a short week to prepare,

1442
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 2: I just talked about Cincinnati, they go down to Tennessee.

1443
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 2: Since he layd two on the road, Mike Vrabel as

1444
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:02,679
Speaker 2: a home dog is nail. Do not be surprised if

1445
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee gives Cincinnati everything they can handle it. And do

1446
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 2: not be surprised even if the Jets in Kansas City

1447
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 2: have a slugfest on Monday night. But do not be

1448
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 2: surprised if there's all kinds of pressure on the Milwaukee

1449
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 2: Bucks this year. Coming up, I will share what happened

1450
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 2: the other day. And you know Mark Medina and I

1451
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:28,000

Speaker 2: of phone calls. Well, now we got our answer. I'm

01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 2: Ira dot Com The way tired buying should be well,

1462
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 2: it was in all the papers, a trade involving what

1463
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 2: eight nine players, draft picks, three teams. Damian Lillard, He's

1464
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 2: going to a team that's spelled MI, but it ends

1465
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 2: with Milwaukee instead of m I Miami. Wednesday night, it

1466
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:28,759
Speaker 2: was announced a three team deal. The Bucks get Damian

1467
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:33,600
Speaker 2: Lillard from the Blazers. The Blazers get DeAndre Ayton to

1468
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 2: Monti Kamara Drew Holliday, who they'll probably trade, but the

1469
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 2: trip Blazers also get a twenty twenty nine first round

1470
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 2: pick and two first round swaps twenty eight and thirty. Meanwhile,

1471
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 2: the Phoenix Suns receive Grayson Allen, Keon Johnson, the here

1472
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 2: Little and Usuf Nurkic. All right, so here we are.

1473
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard is headed from the Portland Trail Blazers to

1474
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:59,919
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks, is part of a big three team trade.

1475
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 2: It fairly well. It brought shock waves around the league.

1476
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 2: It brought shockwaves around the league. The Blazers got a

1477
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 2: haul back, gotta give it to him, Drew Holliday, who

1478
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 2: again they trade DeAndre Ayden on a first round draft pick.

1479
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 2: But everybody's saying, hey, wait, wait, wait, I thought Lillard

1480
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 2: wanted to go to Miami. Well he did. But here's

1481
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 2: what's interesting about this trade. In an era of player empowerment,

1482
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 2: it's fascinating to see a team take the better deal

1483
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 2: instead of acquiescing to a superstar. Plus, Lillard has at

1484
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 2: least three more years on his deal, So if you

1485
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 2: are the Milwaukee Bucks, you've got to be giddy. All right,

1486
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 2: So you know, Damian Lillard, Giannis, they're inextricably linked. Lillard's

1487
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 2: still in his prime. He's thirty three, but I think

1488
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 2: he's still in his prime. But it's not like he

1489
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 2: can wait out his contract and in three years, you know,

1490
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 2: be the same guy for some other team. Milwaukee is

1491
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 2: going to be where Damian Lillard either wins the title

1492
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 2: as a feature player or not. And let's forget, let's

1493
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 2: not forget. Giannis has been laying seeds all summer about

1494
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 2: a possible exit. This is an interesting move by Milwaukee.

1495
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:22,560
Speaker 2: There have been multiple appearances, there have been multiple comments.

1496
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 2: He said he wanted to be able to make sure

1497
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 2: that the Bucks would ensure they'd be able to compete

1498
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 2: for titles long term. The Bucks said they would, and

1499
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:39,759
Speaker 2: now they have all Right, this Bucks team instantly anyway

1500
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 2: is slice it becomes the title favorite if they're healthy.

1501
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 2: It's pretty hard to imagine that Giannis, Damian Lillard, and

1502
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 2: Chris Middleton are going to be stopped with an irregularity

1503
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 2: on offense. Now, they're gonna miss a little defensive help

1504
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 2: with Drew Holiday gone, but with that kind of scoring

1505
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 2: and they'll play enough defense. They're not like that goofy

1506
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 2: Brooklyn team they tried to put together. I don't know

1507
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:08,640
Speaker 2: that it'll matter. All right, there is talk now that

1508
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 2: on paper, maybe this is another quote super team. Right,

1509
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 2: this is what happened to the NBA. This is just

1510
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 2: like the name dream team. If I never heard the

1511
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 2: term dream team again, it'll be too soon. But now

1512
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 2: super team is now becoming the new adjective. The Bucks

1513
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 2: have been a prominent franchise for a long time, and

1514
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: finally they won it all in twenty twenty one with

1515
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 2: their championship. You've got a two time league MVP in Giannis.

1516
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 2: But the beauty of this blockbuster deal is that it's

1517
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 2: good for NBA in general and their media partners. All Right,

1518
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,799
Speaker 2: the Bucks are They were already set to be featured

1519
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 2: in nineteen nationally televised games this season, including opening night

1520
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 2: versus Philadelphia. That's October twenty sixth. Then that's you know, hey,

1521
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 2: that's three weeks's Thursday. Man, here we go, NBA. They'll

1522
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 2: play a Christmas Day game against the Knicks, and then

1523
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 2: you've got subsequent national TV matchups against the Lakers, Golden State,

1524
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 2: and Boston. That's just among the nineteen nationally televised games

1525
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,679
Speaker 2: the Bucks will beyond this year. This makes it even better.

1526
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 2: You're looking at more buzz, more ratings. Remember the league,

1527
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,640
Speaker 2: the NBA, they're in pursuit of their next circle of

1528
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 2: media rights. They're targeting fifty billion to seventy five billion

1529
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 2: in aggregate rights. This is a league that has just

1530
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 2: simply learned how to print money. So the buzz, the ratings,

1531
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:41,759
Speaker 2: Every Big Bucks game now is an event. It's great

1532
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 2: for the city of Milwaukee. And I think this helps

1533
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 2: the NBA in their next media rights deal. And again,

1534
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,480
Speaker 2: the Bucks are thrust and I believe is a consensus

1535
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 2: NBA title favorite. The sportsbooks have certainly responded that way.

1536
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 2: The odds have come down dramatically, all right, And I

1537
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,640
Speaker 2: don't know that I can compare this to when Shaquille

1538
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,640
Speaker 2: and Kobe got matched up or Magic and Kareem. But

1539
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 2: on paper and again, the Bucks already won a championship

1540
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 2: two years ago, and so what this does is it

1541
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 2: strengthens their pursuit of another one. You pair Lillard with

1542
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 2: a two time MVP and Giannis, Giannis wants that second title.

1543
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 2: Give it up to the Blazers two because they begin

1544
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,799
Speaker 2: a new era with their number two overall pick Scoot Henderson,

1545
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 2: and they're people have forgotten DeAndre eight was a formal

1546
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 2: number one, former number one pick Phoenix. Eh, they kind

1547
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 2: of in their their kabuki dance with Aton, they move

1548
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 2: on the Nurkic in the middle. I don't know if

1549
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 2: Phoenix can make a title run. They've sure got plenty

1550
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 2: of talent on paper.

1551
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: Uh.

1552
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 2: I think Allen is a good floor spacer. He's a

1553
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 2: good three point shooter. The Sons have depth. But look,

1554
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 2: when you put look, you really have to sort of

1555
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 2: wonder if there was another agenda here When Jannis told

1556
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 2: The New York Times over the summer that he really

1557
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 2: wanted to see how committed the Bucks were toward winning

1558
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 2: another championship before deciding to sign another long term deal

1559
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 2: with Stan Milwaukee now Giannis's contract runs through this year

1560
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 2: and next year, and then there's a player option for

1561
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 2: twenty five twenty six. Lillard is owned a ransom. He's

1562
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,600
Speaker 2: owned a ton of money, or owned he's owed a

1563
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 2: ton of money. Excuse me. He makes almost forty six

1564
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 2: million in this coming season and could make as much

1565
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 2: as two hundred and sixty million over the next four

1566
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 2: years if he exercises his player option three years down

1567
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 2: the road. But if you keep those two together, you've

1568
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 2: got an elite player in Damian Lillard. And the Bucks

1569
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 2: general manager John Horst admitted that we've been a fan

1570
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 2: of Lillard for a long time. So when you come

1571
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 2: across opportunity like this, they're really hard to measure, They're

1572
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,799
Speaker 2: really hard to take advantage of. They're even harder to execute.

1573
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 2: I know we talked to Mark Madina, will talk to

1574
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 2: more at length. We had talked about how the talks

1575
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,959
Speaker 2: of Damian Lillard being treated to Miami had gone dormant,

1576
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 2: but not because there was an effort. Even I'd been

1577
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 2: told there's all kinds of phone calls being made behind

1578
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 2: the scenes, but we didn't know what they were. Well

1579
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 2: now now we do, and I'm a big I'm a

1580
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard fan. He's a great player, but he's got character,

1581
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 2: he's got competitiveness, he's very talented, and he's very experienced.

1582
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 2: What a compliment to the Milwaukee Bucks. He's proven he's

1583
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:42,760
Speaker 2: not untested, right by the way. On Twitter. Back in

1584
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 2: May of twenty twenty two, Damian Lillard was asked on

1585
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 2: Twitter pick one current player he would want to help

1586
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 2: him reach the playoffs. His one word answer, yahness. So

1587
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 2: when you know what the Bucks have, and you know

1588
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 2: they have a championship, but what does Damian Lillard bring

1589
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 2: When you get away from all the history onics and

1590
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 2: all the hype, and you know all the headlines. This

1591
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 2: is a guy who's averaged thirty two points a game

1592
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 2: for the Trio Blazers thirty two, seven times all NBA selection.

1593
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 2: Lillard was recently selected to the NBA's seventy fifth Anniversary

1594
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 2: team as well. He's averaged at least twenty four points

1595
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 2: a game in the last eight season, and that ranks

1596
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 2: fourth among all active players who played at least four

1597
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 2: hundred games. He's only behind Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, and

1598
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 2: Lebron James. That's pretty good company. Last season, Damian Lillard

1599
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:45,600
Speaker 2: became the all time leading scorer in Blazers history. He

1600
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 2: passed up a great all timer in Portland, a guy

1601
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 2: you've heard of, Clyde Drexler. Lillard had a seventy one

1602
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 2: point game last season against Houston. He became only the

1603
01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 2: seventh player in the NBA to score more more than

1604
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,639
Speaker 2: seventy points in the game. The others on the list,

1605
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 2: here we go, Will Chamberlain, I guess, believe it or not,

1606
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:10,799
Speaker 2: Wilted in five times, Kobe Bryant, Elgin Baylor, David Thompson,

1607
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 2: David Robinson, and Donovan Mitchell. There have been fifteen times

1608
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 2: check that seventeen times where dam Lillard has has scored

1609
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 2: at least fifty points in a game, twice in the playoffs.

1610
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,839
Speaker 2: But it's not just what he does on the floor.

1611
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 2: He's also a good guy. And I remember seeing him

1612
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 2: in the NBA Summer League a decade ago. You just

1613
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 2: see it in the guy. He carries it. He won

1614
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 2: the Jay Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, he won the Stokes

1615
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:46,719
Speaker 2: the Jack Twyman Stokes Teammate of the Year Award. He's

1616
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 2: even won a gold medal and represented his country the

1617
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 2: only glaring resume on Damian Lillard's resume department of redundancy

1618
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 2: department is a championship and now he's got a chance

1619
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 2: to check that box. And true to form, you got

1620
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 2: to give it up to Damian Lillard. Heading out of town,

1621
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 2: he had some very nice sentiments, and I'll quote him.

1622
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 2: He said, I want to express my gratitude for eleven

1623
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 2: storied years with the franchise and his loyalty that his

1624
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 2: bosses talked about Lillard being the all time leading points scorer,

1625
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 2: dedicated commitment to the youth across Oregon, the entire Pacific Northwest.

1626
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 2: He will remain a true trail vizard to the city. Look,

1627
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard, in his own words, said, I want to

1628
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 2: be remember for who I was, not just a player,

1629
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 2: but for the principal I stood on regardless of how

1630
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 2: successful I was, how major of the failure was the

1631
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,639
Speaker 2: criticism when people thought I should have done, when people

1632
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 2: think of me no matter what was happening, I want

1633
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:56,480
Speaker 2: to be remember who I was. And look, I think

1634
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 2: I think this is a Grand Slam event, Uh, you know,

1635
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 2: for all the for the entire NBA, and I will

1636
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,720
Speaker 2: tell you it's got it's got the attention, it's got

1637
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 2: the attention of teams, for instance, like the Golden State Warriors.

1638
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 2: All right, uh, why because I think people I think

1639
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 2: people notice obviously other teams or the franchises, other players

1640
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 2: notice when there's a shifting of the guard like this,

1641
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,719
Speaker 2: when there's when there's a you know, a major event

1642
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 2: that is a seismic shift within with you know, within

1643
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 2: the framework of not just the NBA, because these things

1644
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 2: don't happen in the vacuum. Remember, the Lakers have designs

1645
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 2: in winning a championship next year. The gold State Warriors

1646
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 2: have designs sort of the Phoenix Sun, sort of the Clippers. Right, well,

1647
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about Damian Lillard and the

1648
01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 2: Portland Trail Blazers anymore. But if you get to the finals,

1649
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to worry about the Bucks. And it's

1650
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 2: a whole different ballgame now. And of course you've got

1651
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:01,799
Speaker 2: the Celtics are gonna have to worry about the Bucks,

1652
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 2: and so the Philadelphia seventy six ers, and of course

1653
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 2: Miami and you know you didn't hear from Jimmy Butler,

1654
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:11,680
Speaker 2: but not even gonna quote what he said. So there

1655
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:15,559
Speaker 2: you have it. This is a type of blockbuster deal. Frankly,

1656
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,600
Speaker 2: we didn't see coming. We didn't feel like there was

1657
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 2: a great chance that Damian Lillard would end up on

1658
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 2: the on the Miami Heat. Because the Miami Heat were

1659
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 2: on stall along they wanted to trade Tyler Hero and

1660
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,000
Speaker 2: Portland says, we don't need Tyler Herrow. We don't like

1661
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 2: Tyler Herrow. We have other similar skills sets here, whether

1662
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:41,280
Speaker 2: it's his contract whatever, you know. Now you've got contending

1663
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 2: teams that are rushing to the phones that are going

1664
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 2: to react to this blockbuster right there. Don't be surprised.

1665
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think Drew Holliday is gonna be

1666
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 2: in Portland very long. Okay, he may be gone before

1667
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 2: the season starts. We'll talk about this with Mark Rodina Saturday.

1668
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 2: But don't be surprised if the Philadelphia seventy six Ers,

1669
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:02,559
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics, the Minor Heat, they all make a

1670
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 2: run for Drew Holiday. Notice a trend there, Yeah, they're

1671
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 2: all part of the East, all right. They got a

1672
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 2: factor in holidays potential free agency next summer and the

1673
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,720
Speaker 2: possibility of signing him to a long term extension which

1674
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:20,320
Speaker 2: he becomes eligible for in February. But listen, he's the

1675
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 2: type of guy that can help put a team over

1676
01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 2: the hump if you are close, like a Boston or

1677
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 2: a Miami. I don't know about Philadelphia, but be that

1678
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: as it may. He's a defensive presence. He's paid a

1679
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 2: lot of money. But the truth of the matters, you

1680
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:38,040
Speaker 2: got to remember. By trading Marcus Smartaway this last summer,

1681
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 2: the Celtics lost their key cog to that juggernaut defense.

1682
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 2: All right. And I know that Drew Holiday has never

1683
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 2: won a Defensive Player of the Year award, but if

1684
01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 2: you put him defensively in that Celtic lineup, you know,

1685
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 2: darn well they become better overnight. All right, Enough about that,

1686
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Let's bring the crew and we'll bring Kevin and Shay

1687
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 2: to get their thought and see what they are, what

1688
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 2: their impressions are, what Milwaukee might do. Hard to believe,

1689
01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 2: but believe it or not, some teams are in camp

1690
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 2: mild because there's some teams playing some games overseas. But

1691
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:15,960
Speaker 2: three weeks from Thursday, October twenty sixth, This Thursday is

1692
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 2: October fifth. Three weeks from Thursday, the NBA teas it

1693
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 2: up for real, So really interesting look now for the

1694
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks. I'm Bernie Frattle. We are coming to you

1695
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 2: live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio TIREC dot

1696
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 2: Com studios. Keep it locked right here, don't go away.

1697
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,679
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1698
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,679
Speaker 2: Right back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

1699
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 2: Come to you live from the Tirek dot Com studios

1700
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Will take you up to two

1701
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 2: am Pacific, five am Eastern. We are ruminating about the

1702
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 2: major blockbuster three team trade. Of course, the centerpiece it

1703
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 2: involved Portland, Milwaukee and Phoenix. But the centerpiece Damian Lillard

1704
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 2: going to the Milwaukee Bucks. They are now very much

1705
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 2: on the short list to win a championship. Kevin, let's

1706
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:07,759
Speaker 2: start with you before we get into predictions or anything.

1707
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:11,080
Speaker 2: What was your knee jerk reaction when you heard this

1708
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 2: Blockbuster deal come on in nowhere in the middle of

1709
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 2: the week.

1710
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:16,960
Speaker 11: My first thought was wow, and then my second thought

1711
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 11: is this is probably one of the best things that

1712
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 11: could have happened for Damian Lillard. As much as he

1713
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,120
Speaker 11: wanted to go to Miami, I think that from a

1714
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 11: fifth standpoint, it makes a lot more sense for him

1715
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 11: to go to a place like Milwaukee, who he basically

1716
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 11: brings the asset that they were missing, which was a score.

1717
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 11: You know, someone from the backcourt who can create his

1718
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,639
Speaker 11: own shot, who can create a dynamic one two punch

1719
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:39,559
Speaker 11: from a pick and roll. And this is no slight

1720
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 11: to Drew Holliday, who is a very good player. But

1721
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:45,040
Speaker 11: Damian Lillard, as you mentioned last segment, is a game

1722
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 11: changer in one of the more clutch players in the

1723
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,080
Speaker 11: NBA over the last decade. So from that standpoint, it's

1724
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 11: an upgrade for Milwaukee. I guess my concern would be

1725
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 11: he's not getting any younger at thirty three years old,

1726
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 11: has a lot of years left on that contract that

1727
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 11: he just signed, and had some injury issues over these

1728
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 11: last couple of seasons. And you can say the same

1729
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 11: thing about Giannis who is not quite thirty yet but

1730
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 11: has had his share of injury issues as well. And

1731
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 11: Chris Middleton is coming off of back to back seasons

1732
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 11: with injuries. So to your point, if they're healthy, it's phenomenal.

1733
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 11: The question is how healthy will they be throughout the season.

1734
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 2: Well, that's an excellent question. But the three of them

1735
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 2: on the floor form I think as prolific offense as

1736
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 2: there is in the league, and none of them have

1737
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,639
Speaker 2: to carry the team, where I really believe Jannis felt

1738
01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 2: he had to carry the team even though he had support.

1739
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,080
Speaker 2: And you're right, when Middleton's healthy makes all the difference.

1740
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 2: But I gotta believe that Damian Lillard is slightly relieved

1741
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:44,599
Speaker 2: because he had to really carry the freight in Portland.

1742
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 2: He's not going to have to do it as much

1743
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee.

1744
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 4: No doubt. Yeah.

1745
01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 11: See, now he's the Robin instead of the Batman, and

1746
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 11: that you know what I mean for a for lack

1747
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 11: of a better term, and look, maybe he's Batman in

1748
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 11: night wing or something however you wanted to describe it.

1749
01:34:57,479 --> 01:34:59,680
Speaker 11: But you know, on any given night, either of those

1750
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:01,720
Speaker 11: guys can take over games, and neither of them have

1751
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 11: to show to the load as much as they have

1752
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:06,360
Speaker 11: in the past. So I certainly understand why they will

1753
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 11: be considered the favorites, and if they're healthy, that certainly

1754
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:09,559
Speaker 11: makes sense.

1755
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 4: One issue for them would be they're not.

1756
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 11: The youngest team in the league, and they don't necessarily

1757
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 11: have a whole lot of depth, so they run into

1758
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 11: the issue that many they're not quite a super team

1759
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,519
Speaker 11: in the standard sense, like you know, say Phoenix or

1760
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 11: so well. I think Phoenix actually got better at least

1761
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:25,559
Speaker 11: got deeper with this trade, So I like it for

1762
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:28,639
Speaker 11: them too. They're not a super team in a traditional sense,

1763
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 11: but they just don't have a lot of margin for

1764
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:32,720
Speaker 11: error if one of these guys were to go down

1765
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 11: for any considerable amount of time.

1766
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 2: They do have three years to get this done. Now,

1767
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 2: what's interesting. One of the dynamics I find interesting about

1768
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 2: this trade is that I feel like Milwaukee really felt

1769
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 2: the heat and they took Yanna seriously. They don't want

1770
01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 2: to see him leave town, right, So this is a

1771
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 2: type of move, almost a defensive move, and a sort

1772
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 2: of an indicator to Yannis, Hey, we hear you loud

1773
01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 2: and clear. We're going to get you some support. To

1774
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 2: what degree do you think Milwaukee was motivated by the

1775
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 2: fear of Jannis leaving to make this do?

1776
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:08,240
Speaker 11: I think that was the biggest motivator as to why

1777
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:11,400
Speaker 11: they made this trade, Because because Gianni's has been so

1778
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 11: public two times over the last month or so, has

1779
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 11: talked about, you know, his whether or not he feels

1780
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,240
Speaker 11: the team is going to be committed to building long term,

1781
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 11: and the unfortunate thing is for a team in the

1782
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:25,360
Speaker 11: market like Milwaukee, they're not a destination franchise. You can't

1783
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:27,599
Speaker 11: just hit the reset button and clear up salary cap

1784
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,719
Speaker 11: space and sign free agents. It doesn't work that way.

1785
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 11: So unfortunately, you're going to have to make a move

1786
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 11: like this for a guy like Damian Lillard who three

1787
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 11: years from now is going to be deteriorating and not playing,

1788
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:40,560
Speaker 11: you know, giving you the return on investment for the

1789
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 11: amount of money he's going to be making. But for

1790
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 11: the right now, you make that sacrifice because you don't

1791
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 11: want to lose Giannis in a.

1792
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 4: Couple of years.

1793
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 11: So you end up making this move knowing it's going

1794
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 11: to hurt you in four years, but knowing that if

1795
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 11: for the next couple at least the next two and

1796
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 11: maybe even three, you know you're going to keep your

1797
01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:59,000
Speaker 11: superstar happy and have a chance to compete for championships.

1798
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:01,680
Speaker 2: So the last saying, I think the best fit is

1799
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 2: Boston for Drew Holiday because they traded away Marcus Smart

1800
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:07,680
Speaker 2: last summer. But in order to get Holiday, they're going

1801
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 2: to have to let the Malcolm Brogden go or Al Horford.

1802
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure do you expect Drew Holiday to end

1803
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,720
Speaker 2: up with Boston or where do you think he ends up.

1804
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:17,320
Speaker 4: Boston is a good destination.

1805
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 11: And look that the Celtics already agreed to a trade

1806
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,439
Speaker 11: from Malcolm Brogden to the Clippers in the offseason before

1807
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 11: they got mixed for some health issues and failed physical

1808
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 11: whatever the situation was. So it's not like they aren't

1809
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 11: willing to move off of Malcolm Brogden because they already

1810
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 11: tried to. There's multiple teams. I think the Clippers will

1811
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:35,720
Speaker 11: be a great fit for Drew Holliday. They were in

1812
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 11: the James Harden sweep stakes and really they were the

1813
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:39,280
Speaker 11: only team that he wanted to go to, and the

1814
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 11: Clippers weren't willing to give up the assets, similar to

1815
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 11: Miami when it comes to the Miami Portland situation with

1816
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 11: Damian Lillard. So there are a number of different places

1817
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 11: that Drew Holliday could go to make an impact. But

1818
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:51,560
Speaker 11: I do agree that if you're Portland you want to

1819
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 11: get him to the Eastern Conference, if that makes any

1820
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 11: difference to you, I think really just getting young assets

1821
01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:57,679
Speaker 11: and more draft picks is all that matters to them,

1822
01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 11: and more movable assets. Austin is a place that definitely

1823
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 11: would make sense.

1824
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 2: I like your Clippers thought, but they're going to have

1825
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 2: to bring it. They're gonna have to be willing to

1826
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,799
Speaker 2: let a bunch of high salary veterans Norman Paul, maybe

1827
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 2: Marcus Morris, Nicholas Patoomb, Robert Covington and draft picks and

1828
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,839
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to give him a hall. But good stuff,

1829
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:18,679
Speaker 2: all right, Shay. Your thoughts on this whole big blockbuster deal.

1830
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:21,920
Speaker 8: Well, when I first saw it, I said, finally, I mean,

1831
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:24,519
Speaker 8: I just I've always wanted to see Lillard on a

1832
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:27,800
Speaker 8: team where he we could see him honestly flourish. And yeah,

1833
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 8: like we have seen him flourish. But again, it's the

1834
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 8: Portland Trailblazers. You can do so much on that team,

1835
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 8: and you can show off so much of your skills

1836
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 8: with that team. But then I was like, okay, wait,

1837
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:40,280
Speaker 8: three team trade, and then I see that DeAndre Ayton's involved,

1838
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 8: and I was like, Okay, what did the Suns get back?

1839
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,639
Speaker 8: And I don't know if the depth that they received

1840
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 8: was worth losing the best defender on their team. Yes,

1841
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 8: they got a lot of depth, but I mean, how

1842
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 8: much is Grayson Allen actually going to play behind Devin Booker,

1843
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 8: Bradley Beal and even Eric Gordon. I don't even think

1844
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:00,720
Speaker 8: he's going to see much more and it's at all.

1845
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:04,600
Speaker 8: And then it's like it's like, was Ayton really that

1846
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 8: upset with the Sun's organization where we really had to

1847
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 8: let him go? And then even with Nurkic' it's a downgrade.

1848
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 8: It's yeah, I get it with Ayton's off court problems,

1849
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:15,879
Speaker 8: there could be some things, but again it's a different organization,

1850
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 8: it's a new breath, and he's still fairly new to

1851
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,599
Speaker 8: the league. So I don't know. I just I didn't

1852
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,040
Speaker 8: really see the Sun's point of view at this. I mean,

1853
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 8: if he really was on that was that unhappy, I

1854
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 8: guess you have to do it, but I just didn't

1855
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 8: see it could have been a financial move too, but

1856
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 8: it just didn't make sense to me on the Sun side.

1857
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:35,720
Speaker 2: Fair enough, they got some interesting pieces. I think the

1858
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 2: bottom line is use of Nurkic should do at least

1859
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:42,200
Speaker 2: a good job as DeAndre Ayton, only because I think

1860
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 2: Ayton had been in the doghouse for so long that

1861
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,240
Speaker 2: this this just needed to happen, you know. But you

1862
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 2: bring up a lot of really good points here, A

1863
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 2: good job, guys. All right, coming up we have Chris

1864
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 2: Perfett's World of Soccer. But first let's go back to

1865
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,360
Speaker 2: a guy Kevin Figures with the latest.

1866
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 11: All right, and foursome's well underway at the Ryder Cup

1867
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 11: and cooling Roy McElroy and tell me Fleetwood taking on

1868
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 11: Justin Thomas and Jordan's speed. As a matter of fact,

1869
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 11: I believe that one just wrapped up. No, that's still

1870
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 11: a few holes left to go. But as of right now,

1871
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,720
Speaker 11: Europe up seven and a half points to one and

1872
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,400
Speaker 11: a half points for two team USA, So the United

1873
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 11: States has some ground, more ground to make up. There

1874
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:18,400
Speaker 11: were down six and a half to one and a

1875
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 11: half coming into the day. Baseball Friday Night Dodgers defeated

1876
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 11: the Giants six to two. Earlier in the day, San

1877
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:27,879
Speaker 11: Francisco fired their manager, Gabe Kapler. Seattle shutting out Texas

1878
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,759
Speaker 11: eight to nothing, while Houston defeated Arizona two to one

1879
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 11: in the Aos. The Rangers have a one game lead

1880
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:35,679
Speaker 11: over the Astros and a two game lead over Seattle.

1881
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 11: Houston currently leads to Mariners by a game for the

1882
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 11: final wildcard in the American League. Wins from Miami and

1883
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,760
Speaker 11: the Reds, while the Cubs lost to Milwaukee, so the

1884
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 11: Marlins have a one and a half game lead over

1885
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 11: Cincinnati and Chicago for the final wildcard spot. In college football,

1886
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 11: Djua Younglolay through a touchdown pass to help lead nineteenth

1887
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 11: ranke Oregon State over number ten Utah twenty one to seven,

1888
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,560
Speaker 11: a couple of touchdown passes for Keaton Slovas for BYU,

1889
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 11: they defeated Cincinnati thirty five to twenty seven. Also a

1890
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,879
Speaker 11: thirteen to ten victory for Louisville over NC State. Cardinals

1891
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 11: are now five to oher on the season. Back to

1892
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:09,880
Speaker 11: Bernie Frettle.

1893
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 2: Kevin is it just mere? Does USC have an next

1894
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 2: quarterback on every other team in the country, So.

1895
01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:16,599
Speaker 4: It seems like right and slovis my god?

1896
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 11: J C. Daniels, Yeah, he's like, it's fifteen is. These

1897
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 11: guys are all over the place.

1898
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 2: He came out of modern day a year early. Now

1899
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:24,559
Speaker 2: that's a cautionary tale.

1900
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 11: Yes, that's a cautionary to All right, let's we mentioned

1901
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 11: Jackson Darts.

1902
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we'd be here all night if

1903
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 2: we start talking about these guys for crying out loud. Yeah,

1904
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 2: all right, good stuff as always, kevin Ie, great job, buddy.

1905
01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 2: All right, we covered it all on the Bernie Friddle Show.

1906
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 2: We do the heavy living, so you don't have to. Yes,

1907
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,400
Speaker 2: the messy playoff dream for twenty twenty three is dead.

1908
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 2: And I will tell you that there is never a

1909
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:50,760
Speaker 2: shortage of news on and off the field in the

1910
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 2: world's most popular sport. I'm talking about football spilled futbol. Yeah,

1911
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 2: that's true soccer. That's why every time at this week

1912
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 2: check that again in English. Every week at this time

1913
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 2: we bring you Chris Purffetz World of soccer.

1914
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 6: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. I am,

1915
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,679
Speaker 6: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

1916
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 10: Leonel Messi will not be in the MLS Cup playoffs.

1917
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 10: I feel confident saying that today here at the end

1918
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 10: of September, looking at the remaining schedule, and it's not

1919
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:39,680
Speaker 10: a reality that anyone wants to face that anyone in

1920
01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 10: US soccer wants to face. Certainly not the league officials

1921
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 10: in MLS want to face, and certainly not what anyone

1922
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 10: in the press wants to face. Raptured as they are

1923
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 10: in Messymania. The sports Summer going into the sports fall

1924
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:59,000
Speaker 10: has been dedicated to three celebrities, Dion Sanders, Taylor Swift,

1925
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:03,080
Speaker 10: and Leonelle Messi. Of the three, Leonel Messi is the

1926
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,760
Speaker 10: only one who is a current player, and between Dion

1927
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 10: Sanders and himself, he's probably the only one that can

1928
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:13,400
Speaker 10: match Taylor Swift's social media footprint anywhere else and the

1929
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 10: celebrity worship that she Garners and MLS is acutely.

1930
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:18,760
Speaker 4: Aware of it.

1931
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 10: It is why they brought them over, and believe me,

1932
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:23,679
Speaker 10: inter Miami does not bring him over on their own.

1933
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:26,160
Speaker 10: They need the help from the league office to do it.

1934
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 10: But it is why the league still continues to have

1935
01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 10: Lionel Messi as its top selling jersey right now. They

1936
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 10: understand the power of messymania. But sometimes just because you

1937
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:42,160
Speaker 10: want something doesn't mean that, on a fair field of competition,

1938
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:45,000
Speaker 10: that you can have it. Sitting at fourteenth in the

1939
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 10: Eastern Conference, it would take a mathematical impossible amount of

1940
01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 10: points with everyone else dropping points or simply just not

1941
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 10: able to keep up with their pace to catch up

1942
01:43:56,720 --> 01:44:00,759
Speaker 10: to Nashville SC and put inter Miami into the MLS

1943
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:05,560
Speaker 10: Cup playoffs. Compounding this problem, we had on Thursday, the

1944
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 10: Lamar Hunt US Open Cup final between Inter Miami and

1945
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 10: Houston Dynamo. Leonel Messi had to watch from the sidelines

1946
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 10: as Houston Dynamo beat them two to one. The longe

1947
01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 10: goal for Inter Miami came in stoppage time when it

1948
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 10: was very clear they weren't going to win this game

1949
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 10: at all. So they've been denied the US Open Cup,

1950
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,640
Speaker 10: which is a prestigious award. They will not gain the

1951
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 10: Supporters Shield for most Points in the season that probably

1952
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:34,679
Speaker 10: belongs in a runaway to FC Cincinnati, and they certainly

1953
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 10: will not make the MLS Cup playoffs, which is the

1954
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:41,599
Speaker 10: most prestigious award. And it is a playoff system which,

1955
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 10: in the United States idea of sports, the highest place

1956
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 10: you want to be playing. And I wonder, Bernie, and

1957
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:51,880
Speaker 10: I want to ask you this, how much is the

1958
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,800
Speaker 10: MLS Cup playoffs worth to the rest of the country if,

1959
01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:58,800
Speaker 10: Leonel Messi, the one that you have sold your entire

1960
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:02,400
Speaker 10: league upon, is not playing in it. We know for

1961
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 10: a fact that MLS can produce very fun playoff games,

1962
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 10: but the MLS's strategy has been messy, messy, messy, messy,

1963
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 10: messy Messi And believe me, it's a very good strategy.

1964
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 10: But if you don't have him playing on that, I

1965
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 10: do want to ask all these people that you sold

1966
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:21,599
Speaker 10: messy Mania to, how do you swear that circle. How

1967
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 10: do you convince them to watch the other teams in

1968
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 10: there that that's just as good when Messi won't even

1969
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 10: see the field. I know the rational answer to this

1970
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,839
Speaker 10: is just wait until next season. That's when enter Miami

1971
01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 10: with a healthy Lionel Messi is what's going to shape

1972
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 10: the fate of MLS. But MLS was really riding high

1973
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 10: on Messymania for a while, and no amount of work,

1974
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 10: math or any kind of goals scored is going to continue.

1975
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 4: That for this season.

1976
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 10: We've got about four or five games left in the

1977
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:54,679
Speaker 10: MLS regular season.

1978
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:55,719
Speaker 4: It's a rap.

1979
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:57,760
Speaker 10: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but

1980
01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:01,040
Speaker 10: it needs to be reiterated. So do not let anyone

1981
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 10: talking about the math for a miracle season try to

1982
01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:07,960
Speaker 10: dissuade you from what I am saying. They are trying

1983
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,879
Speaker 10: to sell you a load of hope that is empty

1984
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,320
Speaker 10: and false. At this point, cold reality is coming with

1985
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 10: October that Lionel Messi will not be in the playoffs.

1986
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 10: The other story we have for you Bernie comes from

1987
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:22,759
Speaker 10: us from Italy, and it is one that I think

1988
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:25,760
Speaker 10: American fans can resonate with. After all, it is a

1989
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 10: story of social media disrespect and athletes. After all, we

1990
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 10: have an entire league dedicated to it. It's called the

1991
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:36,559
Speaker 10: National Basketball Association. And we also have a yearly ritual

1992
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:39,640
Speaker 10: where quarterbacks in the NFL looking for contracts decide to

1993
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:43,799
Speaker 10: take the team off of their Instagram profile. But Napoli

1994
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 10: found itself in hot water on TikTok when a video

1995
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 10: came out mocking Victor Ociman, one of their fantastic strikers

1996
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:54,240
Speaker 10: and one of the reasons they won the Italian title

1997
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 10: this past year after missing a penalty kick in a

1998
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 10: zero zero draw against Bologna, and it seems to have

1999
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 10: become a tipping point between Osaman and the club. Now

2000
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:07,880
Speaker 10: we have to give a little bit of background on it.

2001
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,880
Speaker 10: Number one is the status of Napoli itself. Napoli is

2002
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 10: not one of the Big three. For them to have

2003
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:18,080
Speaker 10: won the title is remarkable. Since two thousand and one,

2004
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:23,120
Speaker 10: only three clubs have won the Italian Scudado ac Milan,

2005
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:25,320
Speaker 10: inter Milan and Juventus.

2006
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:27,000
Speaker 4: That's it. That's the list.

2007
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:30,480
Speaker 10: It has been dominated by those Big three, and financially

2008
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:33,639
Speaker 10: Italy is dominated by those Big three. And even then

2009
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:37,839
Speaker 10: Napoli is still an even smaller fish when you consider

2010
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 10: the global scale of clubs who try to buy up

2011
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:45,120
Speaker 10: Italian players to put in their own leagues, especially in

2012
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:47,800
Speaker 10: say the Premier League in England. So the last thing

2013
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 10: you'd want to do is create a rift. And I

2014
01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 10: don't think Osiman is overreacting. I don't Black players, African

2015
01:47:56,960 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 10: players in Italy are subjected to oil horrific amount of

2016
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 10: abuse sometimes when it comes to when they fail in

2017
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 10: a certain play. It has been well documented for a

2018
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,880
Speaker 10: very long time and for the club's own TikTok to

2019
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 10: mock Osaman put him over the edge. His agent was

2020
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:20,000
Speaker 10: beyond in sense and has threatened to sue the club

2021
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:23,200
Speaker 10: over the unacceptable video, even though it has been long

2022
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 10: since deleted. In addition, the country of Nigeria itself is

2023
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:32,479
Speaker 10: getting involved and has weighed in on the slander, as

2024
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:37,679
Speaker 10: Osiman is a native of that country. Nigeria's Sports minister

2025
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 10: issued a statement condemning the video itself. This is no

2026
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 10: simple affair of a player getting in his feelings about

2027
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 10: being heard about what someone says on social media. It's

2028
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 10: level of disrespect for the club itself and it is

2029
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 10: has far reaching implications for both Osaman and for Napoli.

2030
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,920
Speaker 10: For Napoli to remain relevant, it cannot do this kind

2031
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 10: of thing to one of its star players. I mean,

2032
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 10: it might have just seemed like a harmless prank by

2033
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:09,160
Speaker 10: someone using TikTok, but social media has a lot of

2034
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 10: power these days. If Napoli wants to stay among the

2035
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 10: elite of Italy, it better men fences and better men

2036
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 10: fence is quick because the pressure on Napoli is immense

2037
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 10: and the pressure on Osaman to go somewhere else in

2038
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:24,360
Speaker 10: Europe to play for a bigger club. I mean, take

2039
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 10: your pick of any club in England love to have

2040
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 10: Osaman right now, be that one of the Manchesters or

2041
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:33,120
Speaker 10: Arsenal whoever. Osaman's contract with Napoli expires in twenty twenty five,

2042
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 10: and I'm going to be beyond shocked if Osaman remains

2043
01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:38,559
Speaker 10: there for that long of a period of time. More

2044
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 10: to keep up on Burnie, we got a full slate

2045
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:42,759
Speaker 10: once again here in the Premier League this weekend.

2046
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:47,639
Speaker 4: Enjoy This has been the world of soccer, all right.

2047
01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:51,719
Speaker 2: That's a trip around the world in the world of soccer,

2048
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 2: which we bring you every week in because there is

2049
01:49:54,520 --> 01:50:01,040
Speaker 2: always news and we're here for it. Coming back, we

2050
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 2: revert back to the other football right the Bears are

2051
01:50:05,479 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 2: still a mess, and boy they are a bigger mess

2052
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:11,760
Speaker 2: than you even realized. I'll break it down for you

2053
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:15,639
Speaker 2: and I will juxtapose their quarterback versus another young Ohouse

2054
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:19,639
Speaker 2: State quarterback who frankly has not only been remarkable, he's

2055
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:23,880
Speaker 2: actually setting NFL records. I'm Bernie Fradle, re covered of

2056
01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:26,040
Speaker 2: your life from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarrac

2057
01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:28,639
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Keep it locked right here. You're listening

2058
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 2: to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. By

2059
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 2: were wrapping it up on the Bernie Frattle Show, come

2060
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:37,560
Speaker 2: to you live from the Tarrack dot Com studios the

2061
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio here in Las Vegas. Before I go

2062
01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 2: any further, I want to think my broadcast team. They've

2063
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 2: been with me since eleven pm Pacific Friday night back

2064
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:50,920
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. It would be Mark Ramsey, our technical producer.

2065
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 2: Outstanding job tonight shows, Titus a drum, Kevin Figure is

2066
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:59,439
Speaker 2: always great with the updates, excellent input on the Bucks trade,

2067
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:01,800
Speaker 2: and the same with Sean mogan Garde. Great job with

2068
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:04,679
Speaker 2: the game tonight, moving right along, you get the standings

2069
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:07,600
Speaker 2: out this week and some really interesting thoughts on the

2070
01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 2: Suns and their participation in the trade or lack thereof,

2071
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 2: if you get my drift, all right, this just In

2072
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bear is still a mess. Yeah, it's in

2073
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:21,679
Speaker 2: all the papers. And you've heard me be critical about

2074
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,799
Speaker 2: Justin Fields for three years now. I've never once believed

2075
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 2: he was a major league quarterback because of the way

2076
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:31,639
Speaker 2: he approaches the position. Not a personal attack, not hardly.

2077
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy of high caliber, a by character,

2078
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 2: and not everybody can make it in this league. I

2079
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 2: gave you my stats earlier. One hundred and forty five

2080
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty eight players drafted in the first

2081
01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:45,759
Speaker 2: round since nineteen sixty seven, only nine took their original

2082
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 2: team to the Super Bowl. But last week Fields completed

2083
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 2: only nine passes for ninety nine yards or checked out

2084
01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:55,639
Speaker 2: eleven passes. I had a late touchdown that was complete

2085
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:59,200
Speaker 2: for Gazy, so what an interception? There are no tangible

2086
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:03,680
Speaker 2: improvements in his third season, and this is a pivotal season. Now,

2087
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:08,080
Speaker 2: Remember you didn't want Mitch Trubisky. What if Justin Fields

2088
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 2: had these numbers? And don't lose your mind's people. I

2089
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:13,560
Speaker 2: never once would reply that Mitch Trubisky was going to

2090
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:15,639
Speaker 2: lead you to a super Bowl. But what if Justin

2091
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 2: Fields would have done this these three years twenty five

2092
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:20,719
Speaker 2: and thirteen made the playoffs two or three years, sixty

2093
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 2: four touchdowns, thirty seven interceptions, completed sixty six percent of

2094
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:27,560
Speaker 2: his passes. Well, that's exactly what Mitch Trubisky did. Oh no,

2095
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:30,960
Speaker 2: but you didn't want him, and I understand he was

2096
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 2: not going to get you to the super Bowl. But

2097
01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 2: it's still Justin Fields can understand it's his position. You

2098
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 2: play with your eyes. You got to get the damn

2099
01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 2: ball out of your hands, make your prey and posts

2100
01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 2: and that reeds. You observe what's taking place. You receive

2101
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:50,200
Speaker 2: the ball, you make mental snapshots. You understand that if

2102
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 2: your defense is in his own, that may give you

2103
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:56,360
Speaker 2: license to run. You run horizontally, let your receivers side

2104
01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:59,880
Speaker 2: adjust their routes if they're in man the corners back

2105
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 2: or to you. That's allowed you to take off and run.

2106
01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:04,800
Speaker 2: That's what Jared Golf did last night in the first quarter.

2107
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:07,439
Speaker 2: But you've got to be able to recognize what you

2108
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:12,920
Speaker 2: are seeing. He's had thirty starts. Maybe something miraculous will

2109
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 2: happen and maybe things can turn around. Bears are going

2110
01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:18,479
Speaker 2: to stick with him, and they should stick with him,

2111
01:53:18,479 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 2: and they have to stick with them. It would be

2112
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 2: interesting to see what happens next year, though I don't

2113
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:26,599
Speaker 2: know what is exactly going to change. His default mechanism

2114
01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:30,840
Speaker 2: is to run. But I'll tell you this, Ohio State

2115
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:34,800
Speaker 2: had another quarterback who's a rookie, the number two pick

2116
01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:38,479
Speaker 2: overall this year. And oh, by the way, he joined

2117
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 2: a team that had a shaky offensive line that's got

2118
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 2: an injury riddle offensive line. I don't want to hear

2119
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:46,719
Speaker 2: any more about the Bears and this lack of support

2120
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:50,559
Speaker 2: thereof everybody else's fault. Those darn coaches. GOLLI g. They're

2121
01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 2: trying to get me involved in an NFL offense so

2122
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 2: we can actually operate like an NFL team. Let me

2123
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 2: tell you about c J. Stroud. What this young man

2124
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:01,560
Speaker 2: has done his first three weeks in the NFL is

2125
01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:06,799
Speaker 2: nothing short remarkable. He's the first quarterback in NFL history

2126
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 2: to throw for more than nine hundred yards, four passing

2127
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:15,599
Speaker 2: touchdowns and have zero interceptions in their first three starts.

2128
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:17,080
Speaker 5: C J.

2129
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:20,759
Speaker 2: Strout also has the most attempts of any NFL quarterback

2130
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:24,679
Speaker 2: without an interception this season. We're talking about c J. Strout.

2131
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:30,200
Speaker 2: He's had three starts, not thirty. Now, some people might

2132
01:54:30,280 --> 01:54:33,240
Speaker 2: have thought Houston would be the worst team in football

2133
01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 2: this year. Chicago, some people actually were crazy enough to

2134
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 2: say they'd win the division. And Justin Field's got MVP votes.

2135
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:46,720
Speaker 2: MVP bets that word. You know, people actually bet that

2136
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:50,640
Speaker 2: Fields could win the MVP this year based on what Okay,

2137
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 2: Stroud has completed seventy three to one hundred and three

2138
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:57,880
Speaker 2: passes and seventy seven yards. All four of us touchdowns

2139
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 2: have come from operat inside the pocket. Yeah, and actually

2140
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 2: can be done outside the pocket, where Stroud was often

2141
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:09,680
Speaker 2: dangerous as a playmaker in college. Well, he's only five

2142
01:55:09,720 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 2: of eighteen eighteen. I don't blame him, though. I think

2143
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:16,160
Speaker 2: he's under arrest and he's flushed out and he's trying

2144
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:18,800
Speaker 2: to keep a play alive or throw it away to

2145
01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 2: live another day. He has I'm throwing a pick all year,

2146
01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:24,520
Speaker 2: So it's not that he's got happy feet like Fields.

2147
01:55:24,560 --> 01:55:29,000
Speaker 2: Does that counter clockwise dipsy doodal. You know, Curl, I'm

2148
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 2: getting sick of watching that. Amazingly, by the way, c J.

2149
01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 2: Stroud has accomplished all of this while playing again behind

2150
01:55:38,440 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 2: an offensive line that's injured and very unsettled, and they

2151
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 2: allow Houston. These are next gen stats. They allow the

2152
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 2: third highest pressure rate in the league, but that hasn't

2153
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 2: stopped CJ. Stroud by for leading the league with a

2154
01:55:55,680 --> 01:56:01,120
Speaker 2: seventy eight percent percentage completion against man coverage. Here's why

2155
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:04,200
Speaker 2: that's important, because the rest of the league is only

2156
01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:07,800
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent. There's your tail of two quarterbacks, both

2157
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 2: from Ohio State, one place to position what the NFL requires,

2158
01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:15,800
Speaker 2: the other is still learning after thirty games, and it

2159
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 2: appears to be the coach's fault not letting you walk

2160
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:21,160
Speaker 2: that back. I think he's a good guy, justin fields,

2161
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:24,400
Speaker 2: just not a major league quarterback. That's gonna do for

2162
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:27,440
