10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: need to give my main man, Fitzie a shoulder. So

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: there are a few teams that you root for that

12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: completely just give you misery. But you know we need

13
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: some of you out there know about it, like some

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: of you experienced it for a long time. I'm sure

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: before this run, if you were a Lions fan, it

16
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: wasn't too much fun that you had to deal with

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: your share of misery. And my man fits he just

18
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: cruel and unusual punishment being a Raider fan. Pob brother,

19
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: I'm here for you.

20
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: I appreciate this. You know I'm not gonna lie.

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: I was on my feet less than thirty seconds to

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 4: go in the game, I was on my feet and

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: I looked over my dog and I said, I don't

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 4: understand it. I understand that this team's only won two

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: football games. And if I even tweet about this right now,

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 4: if I X about this, whatever we're supposed to say,

27
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: people are gonna say, you shouldn't want to win, you

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: want better draft pick. But like, I can't watch the

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: Raiders and want to watch them lose. So I'm standing

30
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: here and I'm thinking, man, we got them for the

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: second street year. We're gonna shock the world, and we're

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: gonna take down Kansas City. And then the Raiders become

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: the first team since at least two thousand to have

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: the ball inside makeable field goal range and turn the

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: football over and turn the football over in the weirdest

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: looking play. And I've watched the conspiracy theorists. I can't

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: say this loud enough. Like the refs didn't huddle up

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 4: and then decide Kansas City needed to win. The league

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: has made it very clear that the proper the proper

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: call was actually made the way it was supposed to

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: be done. Yes, it looks like the one is waving

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 4: his arms and signaling for false start. Another ref is

43
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: signaling a legal motion, but the whistle wasn't blown before

44
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 4: the fumble was recovered. And even watching it live, I

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: was sitting there saying, man, I think this is gonna

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: be a turnover, and said, oh, it can't be end

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: what do you know it is?

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 3: And the Raiders find the weirdest way.

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, brother, I don't know what deal the

50
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: Chiefs made with the devil, but it has worked. Congratulations,

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 4: Like they have found the weirdest ways to win week

52
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: in and week out, especially the last three four weeks.

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 4: It's just happening. Every single week. They are kissed by

54
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: the football gods. The Raiders are not kissed by the

55
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: football gods. And just watching them go down in that game,

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: just man, I it just spoke to what this entire

57
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: season has been, which is just one weird heartbreak after another.

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta tell you your spot on and everything

59
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: he said. And the Chiefs, I mean they look terrible.

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 2: I mean offensively, they look terrible. They you know, Mahomes

61
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: does not look right. I talked it up that having like,

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: you know, lack of weapons and cohesiveness with his receivers.

63
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: But I don't know, guys are open, you know, what

64
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: it is. I do know actually what it is. It's

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: and it's not just Mahomes obviously. I mean, you can't

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: have your tackle, your left tackle constantly be a problem.

67
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: You just can't have it.

68
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: You can't have your tackles be issues. And that's the

69
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: that's that's it. I mean, how many times you're gonna

70
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: line up uh not on the line of script, which

71
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: because you're trying to cheat, Like seriously, I mean, how

72
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: many times you're gonna do that?

73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 5: It kills them.

74
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: And you know, as much as like we and even

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: my instincts, oh, you know, you know Mahomes don't look right.

76
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: Their office don't look right. Yeah, because their tackle, their

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: tackle plays bad.

78
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: You can't, you know what, you can't win.

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: And that's what that's the only reason why he lost

80
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: that one super Bowl because he had no tackles.

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: Well, and that's the first thing that I thought when

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: you start talking about that, is that, if we're being honest,

83
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 4: the one time we've seen Super Bowl, you know, a

84
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: regrettable super Bowl from Patrick Mahomes was when he was

85
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 4: just absolutely didn't have time to breathe back there, and

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: you know, look what we saw two and a half

87
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: sacks from Chase on last night yesterday for the Raiders,

88
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: and they were all on basically the same move and

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: then you're right on the other side of the line

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: of scrimmage.

91
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: They were, they were triple team in Max Crossman.

92
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 4: He was still getting up his face, and the play

93
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: calling at times was just I mean, it was good

94
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: because guys were open, but at the same time, he's

95
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: just backed. If he tries to throw deep, he's gonna

96
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: get murdered, you know. So you just see him get

97
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: hit so many times and there's just nothing that they're

98
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: capable of doing right now of protecting him from.

99
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: Having that happen. So it's jarring to see. Frankly, it is.

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: It's jarring to see that that sort of punishment to Mahomes.

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: And at least yesterday, I was pretty surprised.

102
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: Honestly, you and I are both both very positive on

103
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: that defense and Spags and the job he does. In

104
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: the second half, the Raiders really had their way with

105
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: the Chiefs offensively, and it was stunning to me to

106
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: watch and say, Okay, this Raiders team, they were able

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 4: to find deep balls. The back of that defense is

108
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: gettable for the Chiefs, and the front of that defense

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 4: has to get home, and when that didn't happen yesterday,

110
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: I was pretty amazed to see how efficient, how effective

111
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: brock Powers was in that game.

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 5: He's a man. There's one thing that you could look

113
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: at this year and go, damn, it's Rock Bowers. It's

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 5: freaking best tight added football man.

115
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: I love you George Kittle, love you Kelsey. The kitt

116
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: on the other side is the best tight ended football man.

117
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: He's ridiculous. His footwork's ridiculous. He was ridiculous that Georgie.

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: We knew he was gonna be great, but we didn't

119
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: know how it would manifest itself.

120
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: But my god, he is everything.

121
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: Somebody said to me yesterday after whe the catchers said

122
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: I thought Bowers was a tight end. The funny thing is,

123
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: like that was It's like, yes, that's exactly what makes

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: Bauers so special to watch right now is that, you know,

125
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: it's it's really as much as things have gone off

126
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 4: the rails and the raiders, aren't it good? Rock Bowers

127
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: is a foundational piece, right, Max Cosby is a foundational piece,

128
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: and it is nice to look at it and say, hey,

129
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: you know what, last year with the thirteenth overall pick,

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: in the NFL Draft, knowing, as I've been told by

131
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 4: multiple people that the Raiders offered a king's ransom to

132
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 4: move up for Jaden Daniels in Washington said, No, it

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: looks like that was a pretty smart decision, knowing that

134
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 4: they weren't able to get the quarterback that they wanted,

135
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: and nobody saw the fact that Pennick Junior was going

136
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: to go as early as he did, knowing that they

137
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: got sort of stuck in that position when you sit

138
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: at the board and you take the best player available.

139
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: A lot of people like to yell about that when

140
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: it happens, but then you see, oh my god, you

141
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: took the best player available. It turns out Brock Powers

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: was everything we thought Brock was going to be, especially

143
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: against a defense for the Chiefs that you know, has

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: the capability of taking them away.

145
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: I think that's a special thing to watch.

146
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: And if we're being honest for a second, I'll be

147
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, Yesterday's lost and hit quite.

148
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: As hard as it usually does.

149
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: Because at the end of the year, what's the difference

150
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: between watching a two and fifteen team and a three

151
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: and fourteen team.

152
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, yeah, I mean.

153
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: I knew if I tweeted anything people be like you

154
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: want to It was like, okay, thank you, I appreciate it.

155
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: I just can't, man, I can't be that guy.

156
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: I cannot turn on a game against the Chiefs and

157
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: be like, well, I hope we lose like that.

158
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: Never like I want to see wins. Like life is

159
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: too short to sit here and worry about whether or

160
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: not the quarterback is going to be drafted.

161
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: It's gonna be like what if I know, God forbid,

162
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: but what if I don't even need to watch it

163
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: next year? Like I want to be able to watch

164
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: my favorite football team win football games.

165
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: I think that's pretty simple, dude.

166
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: You know what's funny is this hole and I come

167
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: from the land of Tank, right, Yeah, the Sixers who

168
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: were the overt In fact, it came up again this

169
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: week and I'm a proponent of it, the sick as

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: it's sick as it is with Indeed, I want to

171
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: set into Germany to the Black Forest to heal up

172
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: at the institute, to get his knee fixed once and

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: for all, and then deal with Spurs this year and

174
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: let Paul George go with him.

175
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: Honestly, why not like to that point. If you can,

176
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: if you can tank, if you've got a superstar. Like

177
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: one of the things that really should have propelled the

178
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals to greatness was that after they knew they

179
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: had their quarterback, they were unlucky enough that their quarterback

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: was lost for the season and they ended up absolutely

181
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: being terrible, which got them the opportunity knowing they got

182
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 4: their quarterback and everything's gonna be fine. Then it got

183
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 4: them the opportunity to get Jamar Chase right. And and

184
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 4: so it wasn't like a oh man, we stink.

185
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: It was oh man, we you know, we lost.

186
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: A quarterback, and now let's just see what happens here,

187
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: right Like I just there is some element of if

188
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: you've got the stars and it's just not your year

189
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: and they're not aligning. I don't think it's the worst

190
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: thing at all to say, hey, we got health issues.

191
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: We're just gonna we're gonna pack.

192
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: It in, We're gonna wait see next year and congratulations,

193
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 4: we'll see you. On the flip side of ten wins,

194
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 4: who cares, you know, ten weeks in the NBA now

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: felt like I'm all in on that. That's and then

196
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: next year you get you get a wildly high pick

197
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 4: and then next year you come back and bring yourself.

198
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: Right, you have the top six protected first round pick.

199
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: That's like that's gold in the modern NBA.

200
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 5: That like, yeah, so it's top six protected.

201
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: So the worst thing is if you're just kind of

202
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: bad to mediocre, you lose the pick. Right, So you know,

203
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: to maximize it, you got to be real bad. You

204
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: got to be terrible. So at some point you got

205
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: to make that decision, like, you know, do you shut

206
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: it down now? For you guys, when I think about

207
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: football is different than basketball, right, you know, there's eighty

208
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: two games, and once you're buried, it's it's a little

209
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: easier because you know, unless you're at the game and

210
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: it's something special. But like yesterday, you can't sit there

211
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: and roof for the Raiders to lose.

212
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it

213
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 5: if it was the Eagles.

214
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: And I know intellectually it benefits me to be to

215
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: have a higher pick, but damn man, it's the day

216
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: to thanks it's a standalone game, my squad, You're right there.

217
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: I don't want them to like, you can't root for

218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: them to lose. It's too hard.

219
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: No, I think all I can do is take comfort

220
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: when they too lose and say, okay, yes, you know,

221
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: look lost the game, but boy played the butts off

222
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 4: and better luck next year. We know the problems, like

223
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: everybody knows that this team, you know, and and look,

224
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: Aidan O'Connell was not the problem yesterday, by the way,

225
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: like two things can be true to two things can

226
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: be true. A O'Connell was not the problem. And also

227
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: aid O'Connell is not going to be the answer next year.

228
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 4: So like like those those things can both at the

229
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: same time happen, you know. So I thought Aiden O'Connell

230
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 4: played pretty well, and you still walk away from it

231
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: and saying, hey, this is a this is a team

232
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: that absolutely.

233
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: Lacks talent, And I don't have a problem.

234
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people freaked out this week,

235
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: but Antonio Pierce coming out and saying, let's just call

236
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: it like it is. It's the best team in football

237
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: versus the worst team in football. Like, I didn't have

238
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: a problem with that. I think one of the things

239
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: that he sort of plants his flag on is that

240
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: he's going to be, you know, honest, and he handles

241
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: things like a player, And that's I think that's a

242
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: fairly reasonable thing to say. But yesterday the worst team

243
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: in football almost beat what you know, we consider that well.

244
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: I also think it's a motivational thing, right, like sure,

245
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: you know it's you know, you call yourself the worst

246
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: team in football. Like, look at this they're saying, they're

247
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: calling is the worst team in football. Let's go out

248
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: man in front of the whole country on Black Friday,

249
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: and let's beat their ass.

250
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 5: That's you know, that's the rallying cry.

251
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, And look, you're just not going to get to

252
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 4: your point of tanking. You're not going to get guys

253
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 4: like Max Scrosby to give less expert that effort. You're

254
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: not going to get guys to to play lesson And

255
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 4: I do think that it's a statement across the league.

256
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 4: How often do we see teams right now that are

257
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: I mean, the Giants have given up. The Giants have

258
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: clearly given up. Organizationally, they've given up. The players on

259
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: the field have given up because the organization gave up.

260
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: There's there's reasonable reasons why they've given up. What you

261
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: saw yesterday was wildly a Raiders team that lost, but

262
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: hasn't given up.

263
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: Like that. You know, I think there is something too.

264
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 4: We always talk about the culture of losing, and I

265
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: think that's one of the hardest things about getting your

266
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: butts kicked in a season, is that how do you

267
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: prevent that from becoming the culture of who you are

268
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: moving forward? But at least for seeing a team that's

269
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 4: still putting up a fight, you know, it didn't bother

270
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 4: me as much like when your team wins ten eleven

271
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: games and they lose one. Boy, it hurts when your

272
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: team just you know, when your team's about to go

273
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: two and fifteen, you get used to it.

274
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean intellectually, it's like you said, like

275
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: you do you take solves in the end, you go off.

276
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 5: That's what it best.

277
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: As you're going through the game because you love your team,

278
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: it's antithetical to watch them and root against them, right like,

279
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: you know, unless like you hate the coach, right like

280
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: you hate like there's things that you know it's best

281
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 2: for your franchise just to get the guy out of there,

282
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: like the handed Chip Kelly.

283
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 5: It was like a horr right too.

284
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 2: I can't take this guy anymore, man, I just can't

285
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: take his his game plans, his sideline, you know demeanor, right,

286
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: Like sometimes that drives a fan bananas. And so you

287
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: have these conflicting you know, it's it's a conflicting feeling

288
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: because you go, oh my go, you can't stand the

289
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: quarterback with the Raiders. You like Antonio Pierce. Whether or

290
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: not you think he's that's commed a Madden's one thing,

291
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: but he's a really likable guy.

292
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

293
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: And by the way, knowing that Tom Brady's watching everything,

294
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: like I'm still right now, if you ask me to

295
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: look at a crystal ball, I think Shandor Sanders is

296
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: a quarterback of the Raiders next year, and I.

297
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: Think Mike Mike Rabel is the head coach.

298
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 4: And I'm looking in the crystal ball of the relationships

299
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: with Tom Brady and then what Mark Davis has made

300
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: clear he wants. And so you know, if you're Antonio,

301
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 4: I do think you got to continue to have the

302
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: same swagger. You got to continue to be a consistent person,

303
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: but you also got to continue to show fight and

304
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: maybe you can convince everybody that's in that building that hey,

305
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: this season went off the rails, but injuries really did

306
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: decimated team that lacked depth.

307
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: We knew the roster was.

308
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 4: Going to take some time, and we know we don't

309
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: have a quarterback, so like maybe that's the sales pitch

310
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 4: for Antonio Pierce. But man, he's got to keep coaching

311
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 4: for his job because I don't know that you could

312
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 4: really say, like if this team truly ends as I

313
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 4: think they will on a fifteen game losing streak, I

314
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: don't know. With Brady in the building now, if you

315
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: can keep you can keep Brady from coming in and saying, hey,

316
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: I got this buddy named Frabel. It's had good success

317
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: that I think should be the head coaching right now.

318
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: And here's the thing. It's a shame because it's his

319
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: first rodeo. Yep, and you know you're coming, you're young,

320
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: you're coming really from the playing field almost and you know,

321
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: I think you gets an the shot down the road.

322
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: Like he's got to put his time back in because

323
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: you know, you have a you know, preside over a

324
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: really good defense and you and then you get your

325
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: and then you get your next gig where you you

326
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: understand what you did wrong.

327
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: The first time.

328
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: That's why these owners are fools. Sometimes they're wealthy men

329
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: who just can't see it. They can't get out of

330
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: their own ego because they all want to discover the

331
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: next great coach. But in reality, you're always better off

332
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: going to get a really smart guy who failed the

333
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: first time, because you those guys.

334
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 5: Now understand what they did wrong.

335
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: When you're a first time head coach, when especially when

336
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: you're young, very rarely does it payoff.

337
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: It's you have to go through a lot of lumps.

338
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: Like you know, for every you know Shanahan McVeigh. You know,

339
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: there's the Brandon Stanley's in the world, there's Eberflus, right,

340
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: there's those guys that just didn't have it first time around.

341
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's such an important because everybody wants to change,

342
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 4: whether it's a quarterback or head coach. Everybody wants to change.

343
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: Now at GM, everybody wants to change constantly. And I'm

344
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: with you that I understand. I'm with everybody I should

345
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: say in the Cincinnati understand that what we want how

346
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: to change so often is hope. But you're one thousand

347
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: percent right that so often when we look at which

348
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 4: coach is considered to be the great hire, it doesn't

349
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 4: work out to be that way. And if you ever

350
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: want an exercise and absolute futility. Go back and read

351
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 4: the ESPN dot com rankings that they've done for years

352
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: after the coaching hiring cycle is done, where they rank

353
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: which coaches were the best and which coaches were the

354
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 4: worst hires.

355
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 3: And it is laughable.

356
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 4: It is laughable how often they get that the worst

357
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 4: ranked coach ends up being the best and the best

358
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 4: ranked coach ends up being worst.

359
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 3: It happens all the time. So we just don't know

360
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: on these, you know.

361
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: And every time somebody comes in and says, well, this

362
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 4: one's a sure thing, it'say, is it?

363
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm I'm with you.

364
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 4: I think honestly, organizations take time and patience to come together.

365
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 4: And if you really want to change the Lions, you

366
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 4: got to get lucky with the home run pick of

367
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: a coach that people thought wasn't qualified and shouldn't have

368
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 4: been hired yet. And then they had to be patient

369
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 4: with him because he started one and six the second

370
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: season before things started to turn around, right, And so

371
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: you know, it's just just a reminder that you don't

372
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: microwave culture change.

373
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: It's just it takes longer.

374
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great point, it really is. It's a

375
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 5: great point. You can't. You can't nuke it. Give me

376
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 5: a young coach.

377
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: That came in bright, young coach that had success right away.

378
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm thinking as it is. You know, there's

379
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: only one guy that is a true there are two

380
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: guys that are true success stores even I mean, and

381
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: Shannon you gonna take it with a grain of salt because

382
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: of his father, right, you know. And Shannon, you know,

383
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: didn't win it. I mean, obviously he's a terrific coach,

384
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: but he grew up in the game. I think he's

385
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 2: almost an anomaly. But Andy Reid and McVeigh.

386
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 4: Do we do we go Mike McDaniel did did he

387
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 4: have enough success to be considered successful?

388
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: I say, no, yeah, I think.

389
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: I mean not to say he's a failure, right, you know,

390
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: But I can't go. Hey, owners, look at Mike McDaniel.

391
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 2: You would have got it right, like you know, No,

392
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't do that. Let's let's take a

393
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: put a pin in it, right, and well, let's think

394
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 2: about it, because it's an interesting exercise into you know

395
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 2: what where the candidates. You know pretty soon that Black

396
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: Monday is going to be here. Black Friday begets Black

397
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 2: Monday in the NFL. Where all the coaches get hacked,

398
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: Where the fellas and ebra Flus was there yesterday? There

399
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: was a Black Monday for him? Uh Where the Fellas?

400
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,320

00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: Jason Fitz Anthony Gargana right here on the Saturday after

407
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Thanksgiving weekend Folk Bloom Michigan, Ohio State.

408
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 5: How state gets paid back today? Baby?

409
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 2: So they're twenty point favorite? Oh my god, Hey, let

410
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: me let's go through this conversation. I love the idea

411
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: of coaches, and we saw ibra Flus get it yesterday

412
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: after the whole world watched the whole world watching the

413
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: fleet blunder that was Thanksgiving Day. I mean, you got

414
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: the Mighty Lions on the ropes and you just flob it.

415
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 2: You don't call time out, you let your team down,

416
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 2: and it's just been a rough ride for them, and

417
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: then you make that kind of blunder and the whole

418
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: world watches it and says, how's this guy have a job? Well,

419
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: the next day he don't.

420
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 4: The only thing that really surprised me is why the

421
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: Bears let him get up in front of the podium

422
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 4: before they let him go to you know, like that's

423
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 4: just it made him sort of stand up there and

424
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 4: take his lumps from the press about the call, and

425
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 4: then you fired him, Like I thought that was interesting.

426
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 4: Should have just fired him right after.

427
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: But I'm not surprised at all he's gone.

428
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 4: I just think I will loudly scream from the mountaintops

429
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 4: again that this is the incompetence you have to avoid

430
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: when it comes to organizationally what your plan is, because

431
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: the minute they kept eber Flu to lame duck coach

432
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 4: with a young quarterback.

433
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: I've been screaming.

434
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: About this for months like this was the inevitability, and

435
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: Bears fans told me I'd lost my mind. When I'm

436
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: sitting there saying I don't understand why you would do this,

437
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 4: and then it looks so bad in the beginning. I'm

438
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: just sitting there saying I don't understand why you're not

439
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 4: giving a better offensive coordinator. Fire everybody and make sure

440
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 4: that Caleb's being developed well. And it's like, no, they're

441
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: gonna be fine, and what do you know, They're not fine?

442
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 4: Like this, this feels like the plot to Halloween eighteen,

443
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: like we know what's coming, we know exactly how it's

444
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 4: gonna happen, and we're not gonna enjoy watching.

445
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: It by the end of the thing. Like it's just

446
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: this was predictable.

447
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: So if you just joined this we were discussing, when

448
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: you're thinking about coaches and you're thinking about who to hire,

449
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 2: it could coming up shortly the uh you know, as

450
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: you see the playoff push and then the teams that

451
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: are gonna be looking for a new direction and where

452
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: they go. And it's really our contention that the one

453
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 2: time guy, the guy that went through, he might have

454
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: failed at different degrees whatever you want to call it.

455
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: But if you find the really smart guy that's working

456
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 2: on a second gig, he usually has an understanding of

457
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: what happened and.

458
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 5: What he wants to do.

459
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: He's he matures a little bit, he understands the league

460
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: a little bit. He likely has success as a coordinator,

461
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 2: and then he knows kind of how to fix an

462
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: organization because you got to go through it once before

463
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: you can gain that kind of knowledge. Now, Andy Reid

464
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: was I thought an anomaly. You know, he came from

465
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: the whole Mike Homern tree, which was Walsh and you

466
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: know the legendary thing about the coaches, and so he replicated,

467
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: he's a brilliant guy. And so he was one guy

468
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: that worked out. He was one genius. And Jeffrey Lourie

469
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 2: said that we got this guy. He's really really smart,

470
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: he's really reorganized. And it turned out he was right McVeigh,

471
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: all right, Shanahan, who who else?

472
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: It took a few years.

473
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 4: It took a few years for Gruden to be I mean,

474
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: Gruden was a young higher and then he was suddenly brilliant.

475
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 4: Put I think we need to remember that there was

476
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 4: a period where there was speculation early in Gruden's career

477
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: until they beat the Chiefs at the on the last

478
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 4: game of the season. People were sitting there wondering if

479
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 4: Gruden was going to survive that that Al Davis at

480
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 4: that time.

481
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: So you know, I think it took a couple of

482
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: years for everything to click.

483
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: With It is interesting he came from that same tree

484
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: of Andy and with handy of home run he was

485
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: there too. But like I'm trying to think about, Like,

486
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: look at the recent hires, right, you know, Dable is

487
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: under fire with the Giants who saw him on Thanksgiving.

488
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 5: Day, and you know, not for notphing, but they're a

489
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 5: mess now.

490
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 2: I think part of it is the GM but in

491
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: the personnel apartment. But I'll be honest with you, I'm

492
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: disimported if Watson Dable. There's things that I question, like,

493
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 2: how could you go two weeks ago?

494
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 5: How do you let mylak neighbors not get a target?

495
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

496
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: First thing, and then.

497
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 4: I say this gently, but where are you culturally in

498
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: the locker room that you can have that sort of

499
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: a blow up from the leak so so loudly, like

500
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 4: it just it feels like that's such a difficult thing

501
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 4: to put back in the bottle. Oh yeah, you know

502
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 4: when that happens, it feels like it's just such a Yeah.

503
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 5: When he comes out and rips you. You know you're

504
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 5: the head coach.

505
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 2: I mean that's you know, you can't have your players

506
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: you surping, you sturping authority. I'm sorry, Like you're still

507
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: the coach. It's not going to work out. It can't

508
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: work out unless the players respect the coach. The whole

509
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: thing can't work.

510
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it just screams to I know I say

511
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 4: this too much, but like what wouldn't happen to a

512
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 4: Belichick team doesn't happen to them, you know. Uh, go

513
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: across the board and look at the really successful, Like

514
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 4: we don't even when targets don't go the way that

515
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: receivers want. We rarely hear somebody coming out speaking out

516
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 4: on Tomlin, speaking out on Andy Reid, like they're just

517
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 4: it just speaks to whatever you feel like, Man, this guy,

518
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: this guy ain't even gonna be around. Like what have

519
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 4: we seen from the Cowboys where it's like, you know,

520
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 4: it's easy to sit there and talk about the future

521
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 4: coach because you realize that the coach probably isn't even

522
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: gonna be there.

523
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: You realize that everything's a massive flux. Like it's just

524
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: it's it's a tough that's a tough.

525
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 5: Look, it's so stable. Uh, let's look at it.

526
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: Let's look at the first timers around, you know, I

527
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: mean we saw Brandon Staley the Chargers. Look at the

528
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 2: difference now with Harball. I mean, you know, look at

529
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: you know, Sean Payton's a great coach, but he and

530
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 2: he goes to Denver, and look what he's doing in Denver, right, Like, yep, completely,

531
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: you're kind of rebuilding that thing. I just think those

532
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: guys have a lot of those guys that have been

533
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: around a little bit understand what it takes to put

534
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 2: to kind of get a front office, you know, get

535
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: get an organization on the rights path.

536
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: Well.

537
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 4: And I remember all the way back when I was

538
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: working ind ESPN at one point and saw Jack del

539
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: Rio a lot on campus, and I talked to him

540
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 4: one day about the difference the second time around, and

541
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: Jack was pretty open about the fact that he said,

542
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 4: you know, the second time around, you figure out what

543
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 4: actually matters and what you need to delegate. And he said,

544
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 4: you know what makes so many guys a better coach

545
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: the second time around is when you walk in the building.

546
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: He said, the first time I walked in, I thought

547
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 4: I had to control everything, and I thought, you know,

548
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: all of this has to be reflective of me, and

549
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 4: this is how we create culture and all of these things.

550
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 4: And he said, by the second time, you realize, Okay, no,

551
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna worry about this, but I am going

552
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: to worry more about that, and that he felt made

553
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 4: him a better coach the second time around, and he

554
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 4: was a better coach the second time around for him. So,

555
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 4: you know, I think there is some truth to that,

556
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 4: and it's that's applicable to anything. I don't care if

557
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 4: you're listening right now, and you know you sell cars.

558
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 4: The first time you got a job somewhere selling cars,

559
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: you probably didn't know as much as you do the

560
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 4: second or third time.

561
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 3: You're doing it right.

562
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 4: And you know, when you start to think about results

563
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: oriented businesses, sometimes you don't get to stick around long

564
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: enough to actually see the fruits of your labor and

565
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: become something where you are.

566
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 3: And that's just the way life goes.

567
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: So I do think that there's sort of a commonality,

568
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: common theme for everybody and in life that the more

569
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 4: you do something, the more opportunities you get at, the

570
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: more places you do it, the more you learn about

571
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 4: the right way to do it. It's just we just

572
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 4: don't want to hear that with our favorite football team.

573
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 4: And frankly, when you see Retreader sitting there like right now,

574
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: everybody's going to be obsessed over Ben Johnson and Bobby

575
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 4: Slowly as the next head coaching cycle, like that's everybody

576
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: wants the offensive coordinator from the Lives or the offensive

577
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 4: coordinator from the Texas that have been hot candidates for

578
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 4: the last couple of years.

579
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 3: But you know, and I'm sure they're going to be

580
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: great coaches.

581
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 4: It's just it takes time, and so you better hope

582
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: whatever organization hires them hires them with the real six

583
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 4: year plan of like, hey, this could take five or

584
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 4: six years for this person to actually become Dan Campbell

585
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 4: with the Lions. It could take that long before we

586
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 4: actually have that identity and.

587
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: That some guys though, need to go and then need

588
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: to fail and before they come back, you know, so

589
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: you better be careful going with those guys. Like I'll

590
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: be honest with you, I love Ben Johnson's offense, but

591
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't know that he can coach. I don't know

592
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: if he's head coach.

593
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 3: There's a lot of different skill set.

594
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: It's a total of versus being a head coach of

595
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: a totally different jobs.

596
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: And sometimes there's a reason why the defensive guys are better.

597
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 5: I mean, look around the league.

598
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: Defensive guys, special teams guys. Sometimes those guys are better

599
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: choices as head coaches, Like I know the problem with

600
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: the hiring the defensive guy is like, if you get

601
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: to bring a good OC in, he's going to get

602
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: a head job and he's going to leave and you

603
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: got to replace. And so that's why I think most

604
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: of these are owners really want the young offensive guy.

605
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: But those offensive guys are they you know, sometimes they

606
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: don't profile as head coaches.

607
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 5: I don't know.

608
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we're seeing it with Dable, you

609
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: see all around, you know, with the with some of

610
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: the younger dudes, the younger offensive guys.

611
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 3: I don't know.

612
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 4: Man, special teams coaches so often are good head coaches

613
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: because when you run special teams, you have to be

614
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 4: involved with the entire team, you know, players every side

615
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: of the ball, Like you know how to talk to players,

616
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 4: Like I think that's the one part.

617
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 3: Players like.

618
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 4: Having the ability to relate to players and make them

619
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: feel like you're invested in them in human beings like

620
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: those are things that great offensive minds may not necessarily

621
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: be great at, Like there are some people and Dominique

622
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 4: Fox Sports said years ago they need to do a

623
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: scouting combat combine for coordinators that want to become head coaches,

624
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 4: so you can test them on their ability to understand,

625
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: you know, clock management and test them on their ability

626
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 4: to understand, you know, how to handle different situations in

627
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: different read the room situations because it is so wildly different.

628
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 4: And just because you're a savant that can sit there

629
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 4: and absolutely game plan anything, doesn't mean that you're really

630
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 4: gonna know how to read the room and figure out

631
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: what your room.

632
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: You're a leader of that you're a leader of men.

633
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: I mean, let's face it, it comes back down to that.

634
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: You got to be a leader. You have to get

635
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: guys to go to play for you.

636
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: You've got to reach them.

637
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: So, yes, you need to be competent, and your game

638
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: plans on both sides of the ball need to be good,

639
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 2: and quality players need to believe in them. But yeah,

640
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: you got to read those players, got to you gotta

641
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: respect them as man and get them to play for you.

642
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 5: Man, you got to reach them. That's real.

643
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's there's just an element of I

644
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 4: think one of the craziest things in life. Again, no

645
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 4: matter what situation you're in is if you are capable

646
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 4: of walking into a room, reading the room, and understanding

647
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 4: how to be the best version of yourself in any room,

648
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: you will go farther in life.

649
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: Ninety nine percent of the time.

650
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 4: Like, you know, my buddy at touring used to always say,

651
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 4: you're rarely hired and fired for the ninety minute show

652
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 4: you played. You're hired and fired for the other twenty

653
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: two and a half hours of the day. What kind

654
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: of hanger you can people stand being around you on

655
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: a tour bus to people want to be around you

656
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 4: on stage like there's just something too, you know. And

657
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: maybe because I moved around so much as a kid,

658
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 4: I've always really had to focus on this. Maybe because

659
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: of my life and music, I've always had to focus

660
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: on this.

661
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: But if you could walk in the room and.

662
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 4: Figure out how to bring your energy in a way

663
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 4: that makes the whole room feel better, no matter what

664
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 4: room you're in, and you can figure out how to

665
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 4: read the room to figure out like what what people

666
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 4: want and need from you from an energy standpoint, man,

667
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: you will you will ascend in whatever you do, because

668
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 4: that's more important than especially today's society, even more important

669
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: than your skill set. Ninety nine percent of the time

670
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 4: is do people want to gravitate towards you? Do people

671
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 4: want to be or around you? And then you can

672
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: figure out the skill set. While you're buying yourself tied

673
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: by being a competent hang. If you're not a good hang,

674
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: you're not going to get any of that.

675
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 5: Dude, that's true. Bad you know.

676

Speaker 4: I just it's funny how people will give you. Once

680
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 4: you at benefit of the doubt, You'll get patients. You

681
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: screw something up at work, but everybody likes you. Boy patience.

Speaker 2: You know.

00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 4: And that's just benefit of the doubt is everything, And

686
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 4: especially for these head coaches like I think that's why

687
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 4: more former players are being hired as coaches across all

688
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: the college football NFL. It's why more staffs are being

689
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: built with former players all over the place, because you're

690
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 4: looking for guys that understand just sort of how to

691
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: read the room and not all of not every coach

692
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 4: that walks in is capable of just getting everybody to

693
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: believe in them.

694
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,720

Speaker 3: See that's I love.

745
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: Look, my my older brother and I had a pretty

746
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 4: violent relationship.

747
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: When we fought a lot. But I remember in fifth grade,

748
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 3: like fifth grade.

749
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 4: You know fifth graders are like kid choulenged me to

750
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 4: a fight in fifth grade. Now again, I was a

751
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 4: fact kid that played the violin, so I don't like

752
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 4: people out of gave me a lot of chance there.

753
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 4: But my brother was always particularly tough. He was he

754
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: was not a fat kid that played the violin. So

755
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 4: I walked out into the playground in fifth grade and

756
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 4: I walked up and like, he put his hands up,

757
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 4: we were gonna fight, and I punched him in the face,

758
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 4: broke his nose. He started bleeding everywhere, and he was like,

759
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 4: why'd you punch me in the face. And I'm like

760
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 4: that's how I grew up. Like my brother and I

761
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 4: were like, well we fought, we fought. So I look,

762
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 4: I looked the way I looked at it, like you

763
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 4: got life skills right there. And you know, look in

764
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 4: the family. You don't go for the jewels outside the family. Man,

765
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 4: if somebody wants to step like there's never a chance

766
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 4: that there's never a spot where like your jewels are

767
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 4: safe and.

768
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: For fighting, like if we are.

769
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 4: Actually, even in my twenties and thirties when I got

770
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 4: a little bit too rambunctious in the bar, I'm the yes,

771
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 4: one hundred percent come at me, and the first thing

772
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 4: I'm going for you ar no no places like it's

773
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: just that I'm here to win the fight, not win integrity.

774
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,359

776
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: With the two of my two guys, oh my god,

777
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 2: they fight constantly.

778
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 5: And my big one now is a monster.

779
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: He's he's you know, he's squatting almost four hundred pounds

780
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: and yeah, he's a freshman high school. So I got

781
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 2: you know, I got him unleashed. And my little one

782
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: is still not you know, he's you know, he's sixth grade.

783
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: He's going to puberty, and he's on the young side

784
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: of the sixth grade. So there's a click, the difference

785
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: in the strength and you and the little one.

786
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 5: Is competitive, really competitive.

787
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 2: So you know, but it was fun and my old

788
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: my nephew Joseph, and they're all fighting. They like all

789
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: loved stuff, and you know, we have the arm wrestling

790
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: thing was funny. We put over the top the stallone

791
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 2: arm wrestler movie.

792
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 4: All yeah, there is there the worst movie ever approached

793
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 4: for you guys, Like I mean with the Italian culture,

794
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 4: like are you eating something other than turkey and potatoes?

795
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 3: Like what was the pasta dish?

796
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 5: Because they got the lasagna day the lasagna.

797
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had, you know, just turkey and then all

798
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: the normal stuff and then the lasagnya and you know

799
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: they do the charcoodierie tray, you know, make charcutery thing

800
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 2: before she makes it. My system makes a cheese steak bread,

801
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: so which is good.

802
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 3: I see, I do.

803
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 4: There'd be some sort of like Philly Italian angle with

804
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 4: the with the Gargado house, like I love that.

805
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll yo, yeah, it's it's that's that's good, all.

806
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 5: Right with the fellas. We'll come back in just a moment.

807
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,480

Speaker 2: Well, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, buddy.

Speaker 2: Well the happy, happy happy happy Fox football Saturday. That's right,

810
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving weekend, the dish and I can't believe it. The

811
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 2: end of the college season upon us. Although we get

812
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: to look forward to a really interesting playoffs. That's for sure,

813
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: lots to get to help. Everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

814
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: Jason Fitz Anthony Gargan, don't we come you a love

815
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: from the tire rack dot com, the studios tire rack

816
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: dot com.

817
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 5: It's what tire buying should be.

818
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: Fast, free shipping, free road as protection, over ten thousand

819
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: recommended installers, tire buying the way it should be, all right,

820
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 2: FITZI last yesterday, bizarre football man. The Georgia was horrible

821
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 2: for three and a half quarters. They couldn't do anything

822
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 2: for three and a half quarters and then something just

823
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: clicked and a boobo go down the field, tie the

824
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: gabe right like.

825
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 5: It was just the craziest, weirdest gamee.

826
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: We thought Georgia Tech would be a tough hang for them,

827
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: and they were, but I wasn't expecting no points at halftime,

828
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: six after three, and then they explode for twenty one

829
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: and then there was that eight session over time that

830
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 2: was just ridiculous.

831
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 4: First time in five years Georgia has been held scoreless

832
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 4: in the first half of a football game. And you know,

833
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 4: really a key fumble late for Georgia Tech. That was

834
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 4: just a great Like so I've seen and this is

835
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 4: this is the problem. I'm gonna get on my soapbox

836
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 4: again this moek, because I watched every second of that game.

837
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 4: So forgive me for soapboxing this morning. But you know,

838
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 4: little less sleep as me in my fields. I guess

839
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 4: the fact that immediately Twitter x goes to there's a

840
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 4: conspiracy to save Georgia and the refs didn't want Georgia

841
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 4: Tech to win. There were some hard calls in that game. Certainly,

842
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 4: there were some moments that I but I'm watching replays

843
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 4: of it and I can't tell if the ball's out

844
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 4: on a fumble going towards the goal line. I couldn't

845
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 4: tell if one ball was tipped and it was called

846
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 4: pass interference, couldn't be if it was tipped. And there's

847
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 4: some saying, well, it was targeting that knocked the football out.

848
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

849
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 4: Like what I do know is that frankly, as the

850
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 4: game went down, both of these teams were warned down.

851
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 4: And look, man, I'm the one guy in the world

852
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 4: that doesn't like the college football overtime. I just don't

853
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 4: like it. This game was decided kind of like penalty

854
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 4: kicks in a soccer match. This game was decided by

855
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 4: a slew of two point plays and there's only so

856
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 4: like you could feel it late by the time I

857
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 4: got to the fourth overtime. And kudos to Kirby Smart.

858
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 4: He was calling time out every single overtime when Georgia

859
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 4: Tech was in motion about to slap the snap the ball,

860
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 4: and it was his way of getting a cheap look

861
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 4: at the play, which makes sense.

862
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 3: It was really smart.

863
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 4: But it just felt like both teams had run through

864
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: all of their two point plays by the time that

865
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 4: we got to the fourth overtime. You know, like it

866
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: just there was nothing left for these teams. They had

867
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 4: nothing in the tank and I didn't love the way

868
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 4: that felt the end, But a kudos to Georgia for

869
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 4: finding a way to win.

870
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: I also, I'm gonna.

871
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 4: Lone person on dying on this hill this morning, But

872
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 4: like Joe Tess and Jesse Palmer, who did a great

873
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 4: job on the broadcast, I love both of those human beings.

874
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 4: I just really disagree with they kept saying this is

875
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 4: for a guaranteed bid to the.

876
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 3: College Football Playoff. How do we know? I know that

877
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 3: we believe that.

878
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 4: The committee will not penalize whoever loses the SEC Championship game.

879
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 4: But if Texas A and M that's currently ranked twentieth

880
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 4: wins against Texas today, they will go to the SEC

881
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 4: Championship game if they beat Georgia by thirty points by

882
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 4: some miracle in the SEC Championship game. Is a three

883
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 4: loss Georgia team that absolutely gets boat raced in the

884
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 4: SEC Championship guaranteed a college football playoff spot.

885
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think they should.

886
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 4: I don't think you should be penalized for losing your

887
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 4: conference championship game. I think they should go, but we

888
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 4: have no idea. So it really bothered me that over

889
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 4: and over and over again. I mean it must have

890
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 4: been a hundred times out of the course of the

891
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 4: late portion of that game, Joe teskept saying, this is

892
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 4: for a guaranteed spot in the college football playoff and

893
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, the only guaranteed spot is if you

894
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 4: win your conference. Everything else, like, the committee's got to

895
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 4: make that decision. So I'm glad George won. But now

896
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of like the lover of chaos and

897
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 4: he just wants to see Georgia get killed in the

898
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 4: SEC Championship game just to test.

899
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 3: I just want to see what happened.

900
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 5: Yea, Yeah, you know it's weird how the whole thing

901
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 5: works in that sense, like.

902
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 2: You, because I'm with you, Uh, I think it's a

903
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 2: way for them to sell a self.

904
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 5: A game, I mean the game.

905
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: You know you had, no you It's a good, easy

906
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: comedian way to sell it, right.

907
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. He's making it feel dramatic.

908
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's weird for But to

909
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 5: your point, Uh, you know, the whole thing is nuts.

910
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 2: It's cool, it's crazy, uh, especially when you have such

911
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 2: parody going on. I mean, you know, me, Georgia, they

912
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: don't have anybody down the field. I mean, and and

913
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: they got man handled up front for three quarters.

914
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 5: They basically got mad. Like.

915
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 2: The thing that's shocking to me is that Georgia Tech

916
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 2: got they got dogs. Man, they held up in the trenches.

917
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 2: That's what surprised me. And although I kind of thoughts

918
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: I thought that would be the case after watching both teams,

919
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: but normally where Georgie's main advantage is that it's the trenches,

920
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: but not yesterday, not this iteration of either team.

921
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know that's the other thing that's really shot.

922
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 4: And kudos to Georgia Tech for this. But man, when

923
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 4: we thought Florida State was gonna be good, Georgia Tech

924
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 4: beat him.

925
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 3: Turns out Florida State's not good. Fun.

926
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 4: Then Georgia Tech went in an absolutely just mind never

927
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 4: let the ball again out of their hands against Miami

928
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 4: and then they Georgia down to the wire. Like I know,

929
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 4: Georgia Tech is not a great football team, but man,

930
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 4: they get up.

931
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: They're the exposure I vict, they are the exposers of

932
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: of of frauds almost I don't know, not calling Georgia fraud,

933
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 2: but they're they're certainly not. I mean, they're they're they're

934
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 2: completely We thought they might they were rebeatable, right like.

935
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 5: They've had these weird spells.

936
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: I just think it goes down to they don't have

937
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: down the field threats like you we told about brock

938
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 2: Bowers earlier. They missed brock Bowers, they missed McConkey.

939
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're you're you're right about that.

940
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 4: And and Brent Key, the head coach of Georgia Tech,

941
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 4: who also went to Georgia Tech.

942
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 3: And this is more and more. Look at some of

943
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 3: the guys that are having success right.

944
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 4: Now, like Brent Key at Georgia Tech Dillingham over at

945
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 4: Arizona State. Like, if you can find somebody that went

946
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 4: to your school that loves your school, you can find

947
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 4: somebody that grew up around your school and then they

948
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 4: become the head coach of your school.

949
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 3: Oh, it just hits different. And he had those guys

950
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 3: fired up.

951
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 4: He had him ready and has been as has been

952
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 4: pointed out several times. Their offensive coordinators on the staff

953
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 4: for Georgia for several years and as a quality control coach,

954
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 4: had a really good game plan for attacking Kirby Smart's defense.

955
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 4: But you're right, there is a there are fatal flaws

956
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 4: to Georgia and they can't catch the ball. The number

957
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 4: of drops like they have three drops in the end

958
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 4: zone by one player, Like you have three drops in

959
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 4: the end zone by one player. The sad part of

960
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 4: that is you kept going to them three times, right,

961
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 4: Like that's just tells you that you're out of options.

962
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 4: You know, I don't trust Georgia right now. They're gonna

963
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: I believe they will go to the college football playoffs.

964
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 4: I do believe that when they get there. I do

965
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 4: not trust them to be the best version of themselves,

966
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 4: which is sort of The thing that we talk about

967
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 4: every Saturday that becomes more and more crystal clear to

968
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 4: me is that there are.

969
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 3: So many teams right now that if the best version.

970
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 4: Of that team, the best game that we've seen from

971
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 4: them all year, is bottled up and goes in the playoffs,

972
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 4: they could win a bunch of playoff games.

973
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 3: But I don't trust most teams in other than Oregon.

974
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I trust anybody to consistently bring the

975
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 4: best version of themselves.

976
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 3: Maybe Ohio State.

977
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 5: At this point.

978
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know, dude, I feel the safe way

979
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: you two. I look at it and go, No, who

980
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 2: do you trust in this thing? I mean, that's very real.

981
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: I mean, let's go throw it right like, I'll give

982
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: you let's kind of you know. One exercise we should

983
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 2: do is actually rank the teams in order, because it's bizarre,

984
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 2: like like, let's talk about it. So Oregon, Ohio State

985
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 2: put them aside because you figure that it's a legit, right, Yeah,

986
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 2: I mean, is Penn State really the fourth best team

987
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 2: in the country.

988
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 4: The hardest part about this for Penn State, for me

989
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 4: is that Penn State has looked really good a few times,

990
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 4: but when they actually took on a valuable opponent. That

991
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 4: offense that has been incredible didn't look incredible.

992
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 3: I can't get that out of my brain. I can't

993
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 3: get that out of my brain.

994
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 4: That, like, you know, we expected an explosive, multi level

995
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 4: offense from Penn State and we've seen it when they

996
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 4: take on bad teams, and when they took on Ohio

997
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 4: State they were stymied.

998
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 3: And that that's just real.

999
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 4: And so how do we not have that sort of

1000
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 4: in our brains when it comes to this, You know,

1001
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: I just Penn State's a good football team.

1002
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 3: Is Penn State the fourth best football team in the

1003
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 3: country to me? Like? They don't.

1004
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 4: It doesn't have the same cachet to me. Usually when

1005
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 4: if you say, oh, this team's number four, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, No,

1006
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 4: I see that completely.

1007
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 3: I don't know. Penn State and Texas are both kind

1008
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 3: of like when they.

1009
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: Were was about to bring Texas up, right, Like I

1010
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: kind of flopped them, but I was gonna bring Tech

1011
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: because Texas is a little more legitimate than Penn State, right,

1012
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: like Penn State to Texas a little bit more legitimate.

1013
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 2: But to your point, all right, like let's go through it.

1014
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 2: You lost to Georgia at home and we remember that game?

1015
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's that? What's that game look like? Now?

1016
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: You beat Vanity by three, You blew off Florida, which

1017
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: is impressive, especially to see in Florida back to back

1018
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: weeks against lsum old Miss you squeak by Arkansas and

1019
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 2: then you beat Kentucky. Uh you know, I mean I

1020
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: don't know. Well, I figured we're gonna find out for

1021
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: once or for all. We'll find out about Texas tonight.

1022
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 2: Like you got to go to kylein station play a

1023
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: bitter rival. You know, under the lights, you'll find out

1024
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 2: all you need to know about them.

1025
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent, and you're finding out all you

1026
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 4: need to know though, against the Texas A and N

1027
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 4: team that at their best, boy, that defensive line is disruptive,

1028
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 4: and you know, the quarterback looks like he can do

1029
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 4: absolutely anything at their worst. I just I don't understand them.

1030
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 4: You know, the SEC this year. As much as the

1031
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 4: SEC is yelling about the possibility that they're gonna have

1032
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 4: a bunch of teams left out of this thing, I

1033
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 4: just man, I sit here and say, well, has the

1034
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 4: SEC really been consistent enough to deserve sort of the

1035
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 4: greatness that usually we associate.

1036
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 3: With the SEC. I don't think so.

1037
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's pretty it's pretty clear at this

1038
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 4: point you could say the SEC has beat up on

1039
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 4: each other because of the depth of the conference.

1040
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 3: That's fine.

1041
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 4: This isn't about the wins and losses to me, this

1042
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 4: is about teams that flat out haven't looked good at times.

1043
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 4: And let's face, let's be real for a second, Quinn

1044
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 4: you were since he came back from his injury, has

1045
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 4: not been Yeah, same Quinn ewers. And you know Texas

1046
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 4: as a team, boy, on paper, they can beat anybody anywhere,

1047
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 4: but they also can beat themselves. It's a little reminiscent

1048
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 4: of like when Tennessee is at their best. Tennessee certainly

1049
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 4: looks like a playoff team, and then all of a sudden,

1050
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 4: you'll see Tennessee team that turns the ball over recklessly,

1051
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 4: commits too many penalties, Like it's just the worst pops

1052
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 4: out a lot for these SEC teams.

1053
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true, all right.

1054
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 2: At five, I think we both agree. Notre Dame obviously legit.

1055
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: Now we know about the schedule, and you know, which

1056
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 2: is something historically Notre Dame didn't have to worry about

1057
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 2: because they always played tough schedules.

1058
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 5: Well, we'll find a little bit about them. Again.

1059
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: You can't have a slip up against Southern Cal right now.

1060
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 2: I think they're legitimate at five.

1061
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too.

1062
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 4: And they're also Look, all they've done is kill bad teams,

1063
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 4: So I get that, but I do think that there's

1064
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 4: a little level of Again, just look at the way

1065
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 4: they're doing it and what do we trust and when

1066
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 4: we get into the playoffs. Part of the reason that

1067
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 4: I trust it's funny Marcus Freeman can't coach against bad football.

1068
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 3: Teams, but he's good against good ones.

1069
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 4: You know, we know he's going to find a way

1070
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 4: to lose a game that they shouldn't lose. They have

1071
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 4: the most inexcusable loss in all of college football this year,

1072
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 4: and that is that's It's just a fact. But Riley

1073
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 4: Leonard has really in the last couple of months has

1074
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 4: come on. The defense has played well, even though they've

1075
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 4: lost key players to injury. I'm impressed with where Notre

1076
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 4: Dame is this year. Like I, frankly you if you

1077
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 4: had told me in the college football playoffs this week

1078
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 4: that Notre Dame had moved up to four, that wouldn't

1079
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 4: have hurt my feelings. I think they've they are there

1080
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 4: in that conversation.

1081
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 2: To me, I agree, And of course, you know with

1082
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 2: the caveat is USC, so you can't you can't have

1083
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: any slip ups either way.

1084
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 4: But I think they're gonna I think they're just gonna

1085
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 4: throttle USC when they throttle us. And I'll go back

1086
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 4: to my buddy Michael Junior. I was talking to him

1087
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 4: the other day and he said the one thing that

1088
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 4: a lot of people just forget for Notre Dame. He said,

1089
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 4: the year that they played for a national championship, and

1090
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 4: they knew they were gonna play for a national championship.

1091
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:31,919
Speaker 3: At that point, he.

1092
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 4: Looked at his dad before he went out on the

1093
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 4: field against USC, and he said, as much as everyone's

1094
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 4: obsessed with the national championship game, this game means more.

1095
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 4: And I just think we have to remember that if

1096
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 4: you grew up in the Notre Dame lexicon, this game

1097
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 4: like this for Notre Dame, for the players, for the

1098
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 4: way they're gonna have everybody hyped up, like I think

1099
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 4: they're gonna come out and try and make a point,

1100
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 4: and when they do, we need to have a really

1101
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 4: realistic conversation next week about how bad this season went

1102
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 4: for USC and won an epic fail of a job

1103
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 4: Lincoln Riley to.

1104
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 2: This year, dude, I'm shocked and I would not have

1105
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 2: bet that he would have failed.

1106
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I look, I didn't know that USC was going

1107
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 4: to be great. But this is not about being great.

1108
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 4: This is about flat out failing as a program. Like

1109
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 4: they have been non competitive in a bunch of games

1110
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 4: that they shouldn't have been. It's just there's this thing

1111
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 4: to sit here and look at it and say, you know,

1112
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 4: they struggled to beat UCLA, and UCLA stinks. I get that.

1113
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 4: They they lost over to Washington. Washington again not good.

1114
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 4: Maryland not good like. I can forgive a loss to

1115
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 4: Penn State, but I can't forgive a lost to Minnesota

1116
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 4: not good like. It's just uscam where they are. It's

1117
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 4: they're in the Big ten and we spent all summer

1118
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 4: hearing about the fourteen hundred pounds of cumulative weight they

1119
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 4: put on and now they're barely pole eligible.

1120
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 3: Good god.

1121
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, well said. And then you know, I mean

1122
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 2: Miami during the number sixteen in the country.

1123
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 3: I come on, man, And by the way, you've been

1124
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 3: right on this one for a long time.

1125
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 4: My friend, like, let's just let's plan at the Gargatto

1126
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 4: flag and it's up there, and it's got the Cane's

1127
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 4: logo with the with the a little slash going through it.

1128
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 4: No out of Miami's defense being able to stop anybody, Like,

1129
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 4: there's just a.

1130
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 3: Part of it again. I love chaos, you know, I

1131
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 3: love chaos. Everybody's trying to tell me that.

1132
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 4: You know, we could have this situation where three teams

1133
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 4: from the ACC make it depending on what happens with

1134
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 4: Clemson in South Carolina today, do we end up Miami, Clemson,

1135
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 4: and SMU all find their way into the college football playoff.

1136
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 4: That's everybody's having that conversation. I really I believe SMU

1137
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 4: is gonna win, SMU is gonna take down Miami. And

1138
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 4: when Miami gets beat in the ACC Championship game, I

1139
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 4: hope the committee has a real conversation about how bad

1140
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 4: that defense.

1141
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 3: Is because it just doesn't. They don't look like a

1142
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 3: playoff team to.

1143
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 5: Me, No, not at all.

1144
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 2: Now I'm curious today Chris my Boy, Kyle McCord and

1145
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 2: Syracuse can't move the ball man and he can move

1146
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: the ball big time.

1147
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 5: Through the air.

1148
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 2: So I'm curious to see Miami's like eleven point favorite

1149
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 2: in a game. I'm curious to see what McCord does

1150
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 2: against them.

1151
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 3: Oh man, if he takes them down.

1152
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 4: Like seriously, if if McCord beats Miami, that is such

1153
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 4: a that that is this season in college football. Like

1154
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 4: everything's right there for Miami and then they find a

1155
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 4: way to like that that's right there for him. I,

1156
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 4: by the way, I want that. I want Syracuse to

1157
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 4: get that big win because that'd be a big resume

1158
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 4: win for them. And if we're starting to talk about resumes,

1159
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,959
Speaker 4: let's remember Syracuse is one of the two teams.

1160
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 3: This year that beat UNLV.

1161
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 4: We'll get to why that is significant as we go

1162
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 4: through these rankings.

1163
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, actually that's that's that's so true. And then

1164
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm I mean, I look at it

1165
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 2: and I'm just curious to see.

1166
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 5: You know, kind of where your head's at.

1167
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: But when you're going through these hole these rankings, it's bizarre.

1168
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 2: We talked about number seven Georgia and where they're at.

1169
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 5: It's like you look.

1170
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 2: At these teams and other than one, two and five

1171
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: with Notre Dame, you go all right, you feel pretty confident,

1172
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 2: but leading up to that, you're like, I mean, you know,

1173
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 2: Texas like where you at With Tennessee.

1174
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 4: Nicolava is like up and down like he should be

1175
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 4: as a young quarterback. But man, he's had some real

1176
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 4: bone headed moments. Tennessee commits too many penalties. They get

1177
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 4: in their own way. I think Tennessee has the talent

1178
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 4: to win the national championship. I don't think Tennessee this

1179
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 4: year has the discipline to win the national championship. That

1180
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 4: defense early in the season was flying, you know, I

1181
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 4: was in love with them. That defense now is good,

1182
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 4: not great. That offense is at times just sort of

1183
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 4: disappears and loses its identity. I'm disappointed. I thought Tennessee

1184
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 4: would be, you know, at this point of this would

1185
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 4: be a top five team, and I realized eight v.

1186
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 4: Five isn't that different. But it is like Tennessee's kind

1187
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 4: of clinging to dear life. And you know, look, I

1188
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 4: think they're gonna beat Vandy today, and I think they'll

1189
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 4: beat Vandy pretty convincingly. They need to beat Vandy pretty convincingly,

1190
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 4: because again, that's a bandy team that we've seen pull

1191
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 4: off some big upsets this year. Andy's having a much

1192
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 4: better season than anyone expected. Tennessee needs to be on

1193
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 4: alert for that one.

1194
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 3: I don't if.

1195
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 4: Tennessee Obviously, if they lose that game, they're out of

1196
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 4: this thing completely, So they need to be on alert.

1197
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, Robert, I am. I'm with you,

1198
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 2: all right? Will think quick T will come back? Or

1225
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 4: we were blinking and it's December first, right. That's just

1226
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 4: a weird part of the timing of Thanksgiving. It's interesting too,

1227
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 4: because November sort of flies by it when you work

1228
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 4: in the business that you and I work in, so god,

1229
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 4: no remember, no matter what, it's just sort of you're blinking.

1230
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 3: It's over.

1231
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 4: So it is crazy to think we just got through

1232
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving and now it's like all right, well, well you.

1233
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 3: Better have a head start on your Christmas shopping. By

1234
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 3: the way, let me just tell you. I know we

1235
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 3: got football to get to, but I love black Friday.

1236
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 3: You know I love black Black Friday. I've told you

1237
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 3: that before. But yes man, I got out. I got

1238
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 3: out yesterday when I'm out of my people, went into

1239
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 3: the West Farms Mall and in West Artford, Connecticut.

1240
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 4: It's beautiful, Like it's like one of those old school

1241
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 4: eight type It's like what malls used to be. And

1242
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a believer that in cold weather cities malls

1243
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 4: still thrive because frankly, in the middle of winter, when

1244
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 4: it's freezing and you got nothing to new, you just

1245
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 4: go to the mall, ding around, you know, window shop.

1246
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 4: Whatever I went yesterday, vibes were electric, all right, Like

1247
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 4: I walk in and I was in peace.

1248
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 5: I was.

1249
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, see like because you know, it used to

1250
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 4: be twenty five years ago you could only get this

1251
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 4: TV this one day, and so the mobs were out

1252
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 4: of control and everybody's like tackling each other. Now, I mean,

1253
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 4: the deals were great.

1254
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 3: Like I'm sure everybody seemed to be having a good time.

1255
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, I walked in, I ordered I used the

1256
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 4: app to order my Starbucks from the mall. Starbucks inside

1257
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 4: the Macy's. Weirdly, I don't know why it's in there,

1258
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 4: but they built it in there. So I build it

1259
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 4: and I walk up and the guys like, yeah, the

1260
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 4: wait time on our drinks right now for the mobile

1261
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 4: orders is anywhere from forty five minutes to an hour,

1262
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 4: And you know what, I was like.

1263
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,320

1264
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 3: in the mall.

1265
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 4: So I put my hour for coffee, an hour for Starbucks,

1266
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,640

1267
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,479
Speaker 4: sit there and wait the hour. I put the order

1268
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 4: in and I started my shopping. I went to store

1269
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 4: to store. I just looked around and dinged around and

Speaker 3: was listening to my own Christmas music.

1275
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 4: At one point, just felt the electric vibes of people everywhere.

1276
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,480

Speaker 4: I mean it was it was so busy that no

1279
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 4: exactly like all I don't even know what Hollister, why

1280
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 4: people wanted to go into the store Hollister, but the

1281
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 4: store Hollister had stanchions up to hold people in line,

1282
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 4: and then they had an employee outside because they were

1283
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 4: at capacity inside, so somebody had to come out before

1284
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 4: they would let another person in.

1285
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 3: That's how busy the mall it was. It was it

1286
01:02:58,160 --> 01:02:59,480

1289
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 3: Finally got my coffee and then I so I spent

1290
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 3: the first hour walking the second floor of the mall,

1291
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,280

1296
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: like I do you do. There's something about the energy

1297
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 2: and when you're at a mall and it's cold weather city,

1298
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 2: because there's so many people, and you know, you start

Speaker 2: to get into the you start to get into the spirit.

1300
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:44,880

1301
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 2: like not the food court part of it, and they're

1360
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 2: Kind of shame because you know, these big cities are

1361
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 2: still reeling from COVID.

1362
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 5: COVID man was nasty.

1363
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 2: It just had a bad effect on cities across America.

1364
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 5: And you're still digging out.

1365
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 2: I'm hoping it's like, you know, trending in the right direction,

1366
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 2: but you could still see the remnants of it. Like

1367
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 2: I still say there was there was always a vibe,

1368
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 2: a great vibe like Black Friday. And my office is

1369
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 2: not far from there, where my studio is, and so

1370
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 2: I was there and I love like what it's kind

1371
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 2: of cold and in the holidays and walking around the city,

1372
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 2: there's always like an electric vibe and it's still lacking.

1373
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 2: I think what was at the mall was not at

1374
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 2: in the city where I was. Yes today, yeah, like

1375
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like you traveled extensively, like

1376
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 2: you know, all about like those cities, especially around the holidays.

1377
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 2: Like my fondest memories of my hometown of Philadelphia is

1378
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 2: in the holidays, all dressed up in lights and you know,

1379
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 2: everybody's got the coats on, but you're walking hustle bustle, smiling,

1380
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 2: going to the department stores and restaurants, and I don't know,

1381
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 2: I always I remember that as a kid, and it just

1382
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 2: had a it's it had a profound the fact impact

1383
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 2: on me, and I love it. And the freaking COVID

1384
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 2: was the worst thing for the for the cities, really

1385
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 2: really bad.

1386
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,640

01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 4: I enjoy, you know, actually seeing something in person, Like

1390
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 4: I'm the sort of person that like, I was bummed.

1391
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 4: I went out on Niksiving Day and tried to get

1392
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 4: the newspaper because usually the Black Friday ads are all

1393
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 4: in the newspaper. Nobody in Connecticut even sells the newspaper anymore,

1394
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 4: Like you can't find couldn't find it a newspaper in

1395
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 4: the one place I didn't find it didn't have any

1396
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 4: of the ads I enjoy on thanks to me usually

1397
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 4: going through the ads and be like, Okay, I'm gonna

1398
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 4: go look for this. I'm gonna go to this place,

1399
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 4: this place, like so I was sort of flying blind yesterday.

1400
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 4: But I think what's interesting to me is that I'm

1401
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 4: the type of person that I don't set out with.

1402
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 3: A I'm gonna get Gargano something.

1403
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 4: I'm the type of person that is like, I'm just

1404
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 4: gonna go out and if I see something for a

1405
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 4: friend or family member that I think would make a

1406
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 4: great present, I'm gonna get that for him.

1407
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 3: And if I don't, I'm not like, I.

1408
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 4: Don't think there has to be some big, like great

1409
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 4: rule that you know, we exchange presents. But if I

1410
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 4: see something that makes me think of you, I'm gonna

1411
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 4: get it. That's the way I like to shop for

1412
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 4: these things, so I don't have as much.

1413
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 5: By the way, that's the security of true giving.

1414
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's like I'm just I've never been.

1415
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 2: You're not giving for the sake of just going by

1416
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 2: the routine. You go, ah that this reminds me of

1417
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 2: somebody there forum were to get it for him, Like

1418
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 2: that's beautiful.

1419
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 3: It's it's thanks And like, I think there's an element.

1420
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 4: For me that because that's how I thrive shopping that's

1421
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,879
Speaker 4: not gonna happen from just doom scrolling on like Instagram

1422
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 4: ads work for me. Like we all say we hate technology,

1423
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 4: but like targeted ads on Instagram, if I see something,

1424
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, that's a that's a hoodie

1425
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 4: that you can get somebody's dog printed on. I know

1426
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 4: who would like that. I'm gonna order that for them.

1427
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 4: That's sort of become that version. But I I've always

1428
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 4: been the type of Christmas time that I'm I'm gonna

1429
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 4: go into every single store and I'm just gonna browse

1430
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:35,800

1449
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 2: only place I go is Dick Sporting Goods. That's such

1450
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 2: a cliche, but I do love. Like there's a mall

1451
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 2: near where I live and it's got the big Dick

1452
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:36,519

Speaker 7: I do.

1455
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 2: I freaking love that store. That to me is like

1456
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 2: the candy store when you were a kid. Like if

1457
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 2: I if we had that store growing up, Oh my god,

1458
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 2: And you remember those promotions where you get a cart

1459
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: and you can feel as much as you want in

1460
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 2: the cart.

1461
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 5: I still have that dream.

1462
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 2: Oh, this would be the greatest thing in the world

1463
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 2: to go around the store where go around Dick Sporting

1464
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,640
Speaker 2: Goods with a with an empty cart being allowed to

1465
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 2: fill it.

1466
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 4: That's that's I'm just supermarket sweep, but in a Dick

1467
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 4: Sporting Goods is that's the best and worst idea all

1468
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 4: at one time.

1469
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 3: Like just cramming it all in there. Let's go.

1470
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 2: All right, well, call take quick t come right back

1471
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 2: and back to the uh the rackets. We're going through

1472
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 2: college football rakings today. Kind of look at where all

1473
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: the teams are at on this rivalry Saturday, Michigan Ohio State.

1474
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 2: And you know it's such a mismatch. There's no you know,

1475
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 2: there's a countdown. There's no countdown. It's basically countdown to

1476
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 2: annihilation because I think Ohio State's going to just open

1477
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 2: a can.

1478
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 5: What do you think?

1479
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 3: It's not the game today. It's a game. It's just

1480
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 3: a game. That's how this one. Yeah, this one, it's

1481
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 3: gonna be an absolute slaughter.

1482
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1483
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 2: I know usually when we say that it's close, but no,

1484
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 2: I don't think so of this one. We're the fellas

1510
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,439

01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 2: and not.

1512
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 5: Talk over it.

1513
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: And the other part of it is I just kind

1514
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 2: of started listening to it, just kind of got lost

1515
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 2: in it. So I'll be honest with you, I was like,

1516
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 2: that's just freaking beautiful, man.

1517
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 5: I mean, God bless you.

1518
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 2: If I ever get to make my film, I need

01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 2: you to do the to be in.

1520
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 5: The score for sure. I would love that you are. Yeah,

1521
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 5: you're just God bless it.

1522
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 2: So let's look at today my man Chuck, I love

1523
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 2: our excuse me, my man Eddie Eddie Webster.

1524
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 5: We got my man Chuck too. He's all about Kentucky today.

1525
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 2: Man Andie Webster had a good point about Ohio State

1526
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:08,680
Speaker 2: and Michigan and he said, listen, Michigan d line is

1527
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 2: still formidable.

1528
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 5: He said, it's going to be.

1529
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 2: Cold right there, and uh in Columbus, you know, and uh,

1530
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 2: you know it's going to be cold, and it's going

1531
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 2: to be uh you know, defensive.

1532
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 5: Could that keep Michigan in the game.

1533
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 3: Nope, but it sure is a great thought.

1534
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 4: Now, the problem is Michigan just doesn't have as good

1535
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 4: as their defense defensive line is, and I don't think

1536
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 4: their defensive line is. Uh, it's fair to say that

1537
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 4: it's a good defensive line. You gotta be great to

1538
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 4: take down this Ohio State team, and you also got

1539
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 4: to be able to score. And this Michigan offense is

1540
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 4: not going to be able to score. So this, this game,

1541
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 4: to me, starts slow and then all of a sudden,

1542
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 4: you know, it starts for a minute. They're hitting each

1543
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 4: other back and forth, and we're getting the usual broadcast

1544
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 4: of throwing the records out, which is really just a

1545
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 4: broadcast team way of saying, don't stop watching. We really

1546
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 4: want you to watch this game. And so like it'll

1547
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 4: be seven nothing for too long, and like thirteen nothing

1548
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 4: for a while, and then all of a sudden we'll

1549
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 4: blink and it'll be like thirty one to three.

1550
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of the same vibe.

1551
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 2: I do too, because ultimately I think early on they

1552
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 2: could stand up.

1553
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,679
Speaker 5: But to your point, I don't think the Ohio State.

1554
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't think the Michigan offense can generate enough pressure.

1555
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 5: And it's sooner or later you know.

1556
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 2: That the Michigan d's gonna be on the field and

1557
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 2: on the field and on the field and then it

1558
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 2: just breaks open.

1559
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're a thousand or sent right to me, this

1560
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 4: game is just I've got Ohio State and the points.

1561
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 4: So I think it's a big, big, big win for

1562
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 4: a hostate. Can I tell you what, Like I do

1563
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 4: have a little bit of a joy coming into today

1564
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 4: for a matchup nobody's paying attention to, but you should

1565
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 4: only because if UNLV wins tonight, they will play for

1566
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 4: the Mountain West title next weekend against Boise State. I'm

1567
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 4: just saying you. UNLV right now controls their own destiny

1568
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,839
Speaker 4: to the College Football Playoff because Tulane lost over the weekend,

1569
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 4: so tu Lane lost two days ago, so by two

1570
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 4: Lane losing. Remember, the five highest ranked conference champions go

1571
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 4: to the College football playoff right now, Boise State is

1572
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 4: clearly one of the five highest ranked as we continue

1573
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 4: to look at this, but Boise State UNLV played a

1574
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 4: hell of a game earlier this year. The UNLV will

1575
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 4: get the matchup, We'll get the rematch. If UNLV wins

1576
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 4: last week, they were number twenty two in the rankings,

1577
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 4: they'll move up a little bit because Tulane lost, they

1578
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 4: would be the highest ranked group of five champion like.

1579
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 3: UNLV can still get to the College four.

1580
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 4: Imagine UNLV playing the playoff game at Allegiance Stadium before

1581
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:43,600
Speaker 4: the Raiders ever do.

1582
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 3: That's just that, that's my reality.

1583
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I'm with you.

1584
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. Uh, you know, it's funny. They're

1585
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: a great story man, eight just are It's beautiful.

1586
01:16:59,120 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 7: Man.

1587
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 5: I'm rooting for you too because that it's your squad.

1588
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 4: Well, and the fun part about it is this is

1589
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 4: I say this because this is what I do enjoy

1590
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 4: about the playoff process as much as I yell about

1591
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 4: who's in and who's out every single week. The fact

1592
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 4: that we're still sitting here saying, well, the Mountain West

1593
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 4: championship game is gonna matter, and we don't know how

1594
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 4: the rest of the conference championships are gonna play out.

1595
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 4: Like there's the Mountain West champion could end up being

1596
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 4: the fourth highest ranked conference champion. You have no idea,

1597
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 4: So you know, if that happens, you could be talking

1598
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,799
Speaker 4: about a home game and a bye Like that's wild

1599
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 4: to think of for a team like Boise State, or

1600
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 4: you know, usually a team like Too Lane and that

1601
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,799
Speaker 4: we thought would be there this year. It's it brings

1602
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 4: meaning to games that otherwise we just wouldn't be paying

1603
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 4: attention to nationally.

1604
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 7: I know, man.

1605
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 5: I meanwhile, Boise how about gant Man? My god, he

1606
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:50,679
Speaker 5: goes for two.

1607
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 2: Hundred like like Barkley saw Barkley does.

1608
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 5: It's just effortless. It's ridiculous.

1609
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's true incredible to see how not like

1610
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 4: he can beat you with power, he can beat you

1611
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,759
Speaker 4: with grace, Like he can beat you any which way

1612
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,600
Speaker 4: that you want to be beaten. Like it's it's really incredible,

1613
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 4: and you know, I feel for the kid because I

1614
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:17,679
Speaker 4: do think he's had a Heisman worthy year. I personally,

1615
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 4: if I had a vote, I would give it to

1616
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 4: Hunter instead. But what Ashton Genty has done has been

1617
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 4: really incredible and special this year.

1618
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. I mean Hunter, I mean

1619
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 2: Hunt for your dollars playing on both sides. It's just Genty.

1620
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 5: You know.

1621
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 2: It's funny because all of a sudden, does Genty? Does

1622
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 2: the running back make a comeback in the draft? I

1623
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 2: want to play a ponder that would you because I

1624
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 2: want to discuss that. Where the fella is hanging out

Speaker 2: The Way tire buying should be all right, So we're

1637
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,600
Speaker 2: just talking about we'll go continue to go through the

1638
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,759
Speaker 2: college games today and the whole thing. We were talking

1639
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 2: about running backs because A genty and Boise State and yesterday.

1640
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 5: We do you have two twelve or more than that.

1641
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 2: To sixty five? He was crazy. I looked early. I

1642
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 2: was watching the game and I looked earlier. I was

1643
01:19:55,920 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 2: checking his numbers, and he was like one nine through three.

1644
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 2: He's uh, he's He's unbelievable. He finishes with two twenty six.

1645
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 2: So does the running back make a comeback in the draft?

1646
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 2: You know, we know about the running backs being devalued.

1647
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 2: Nobody devalued the running back more than the Cowboys, and

1648
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 2: they picked the worst year to go into the season

1649
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 2: with no running back. And as you see Detroit, Montgomery, Gibbs, Philadelphia, Barkley, Baltimore, King,

1650
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 2: Henry the Chiefs, right, you know, Pachecko, Kareem Hunt comes back.

1651
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 2: The value of cook in Buffalo, right, The value of

1652
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 2: the running backs so.

1653
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,560
Speaker 5: Vital to teams successes.

1654
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 2: Just look at the top of the at the division,

1655
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 2: top of the conferences, wherever you go. They have running backs.

1656
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 2: They matter. Do they finally come back in the draft fit.

1657
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 3: Si, I think so, I think to a certain extent

1658
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 3: for sure.

1659
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Gent is a clear cut like he's gonna

1660
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 4: be a first round pick and everybody's gonna mock him,

1661
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 4: like every single mock draft is gonna put genty to

1662
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, right, Like that is what makes sense. But

1663
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 4: there are other prospects that are top fifty sixty draft prospects.

1664
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 3: Which means top two rounds.

1665
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 4: Really, you know the kid out of North Carolina, Hampton Judkins,

1666
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 4: Ohio State. We'll see what happens with Henderson, also from

1667
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 4: Ohio State. But there are some prospects out there that

1668
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 4: are worth it. And to your point, and I'm just

1669
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 4: gonna keep screaming this loudly, over and over and over again.

1670
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 3: Tell me the.

1671
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 4: Last team that their season went off the rails because

1672
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 4: they paid a running back.

1673
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 3: Like everybody sits here and says, don't pay a running back.

1674
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I think what we need to start looking at

1675
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:55,599
Speaker 4: is cost above replacement. Right, So instead of sitting here saying, well,

1676
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 4: I'm not going to pay that running back twelve million dollars,

1677
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 4: I guess my thing is like, were you willing to

1678
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 4: pay him nine? So if you're willing to pay him nine,

1679
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 4: but you're not willing to pay him twelve. Then you're

1680
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 4: willing to let three million dollars be the reason that

1681
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 4: your team struggles at a position that frankly, when you

1682
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 4: have a great running back, it even masks your offensive

1683
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,480
Speaker 4: line issues. So you're willing to let three million dollars

1684
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 4: be a deal breaker there. I think that logic is

1685
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 4: about to change. Like James Connor is going to be

1686
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 4: a free agent at the end of the season. I'd

1687
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 4: be stunned if Arizona doesn't look around and say, well,

1688
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 4: you know what, the Titans weren't better without Derek Henry,

1689
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 4: the Raiders weren't better without Josh Jacobs, the Giants weren't

1690
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 4: better without Saquon So I think there.

1691
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 3: Is some element.

1692
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 4: And then in the draft, yeah, I mean, look, the

1693
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 4: day that Jamir Gibbs was drafted. I was hosting a

1694
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 4: draft show for ESPN the day he was drafted. Everybody

1695
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 4: was just crushing that pick. You can't spend a first round,

1696
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 4: high first round pick on a running back.

1697
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

1698
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden, you look at the Lions,

1699
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,560
Speaker 4: You're like, man, not only that they bring in Montgomery

1700
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 4: and Gibbs. They have two running backs, one that they

1701
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 4: valued in the draft or one that they decided to

1702
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 4: value through free agent. They bring in two different people

1703
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 4: and they're they're they're great at the position for a reason.

1704
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 4: I just think you have to look across the board

1705
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 4: and say, you know what, you don't think you need

1706
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 4: a running back until you don't have one, and then

1707
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 4: when you don't have one, you realize suddenly how incompetent

1708
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 4: your offense looks when you try to get rhythm the

1709
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 4: running back position. I think he's going to have a

1710
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 4: change in the way we view big name running backs

1711
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 4: over the course of the next several years, and I

1712
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 4: think you're gonna see more teams taking a stab at

1713
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 4: it in the draft.

1714
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy is you look at like, you know,

1715
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 2: Philoffy week, we're obsessed with Saquon because sae Quon's come

1716
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 2: in and really, you know, I don't want to say

1717
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 2: saved the season, but he's just made such a huge difference.

1718
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he's made them into complete Super Bowl contender. Obviously,

1719
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:49,639
Speaker 2: he's been unbelievable. He's ranked one hundred and eighty fourth

1720
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 2: in salary in the NFL.

1721
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 3: Colley that's that's right, it is.

1722
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 4: It's it's insane to think about how many players, like

1723
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 4: right now, if you play wide receiver, like we always

1724
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 4: make the joke, if you've ever even like Ben and

1725
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 4: Sean mcfay's house, you're gonna get a head coaching job

1726
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 4: somewhere right now. You could be a bad wide receiver

1727
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 4: and you're gonna get paid more than an epic running back.

1728
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 3: I don't understand that.

1729
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 4: I don't understand that lot, Like, it's not fantasy football,

1730
01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 4: it's real football. I don't understand it at all.

1731
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 3: Dude.

1732
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing how that kind of transpired. And

1733
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 2: you know, one of the other position making callback, my man,

1734
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 2: Nicky brings us up.

1735
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 5: Nicky said dominic.

1736
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 2: He says, I know inside linebackers are coming back, and

1737
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: he's right, the linebacker, And it just goes to show

1738
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 2: you because running back and linebacker are mirrored positions. So

1739
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 2: if one comes back, the other has to come back.

1740
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 2: And really the offense always dictates, right, So if the

1741
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 2: running back comes back, what's that mean? It means all

1742
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you can't be light and be playing

1743
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,919
Speaker 2: in nickel constantly, right, You've got to have lie inside

1744
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 2: linebackers and you and you got to have a safety.

1745
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 5: You could play the box.

1746
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't that the This is the old like point

1747
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,600
Speaker 4: counterpoint point counterboy, Like offenses are gonna spread out, and

1748
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 4: so somebody in the league figures out that, hey, we're

1749
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 4: gonna do the opposite of that, because we're just not

1750
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 4: built the spread out. We're gonna hammer the ball right

1751
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 4: up the middle, and we're just gonna run the ball

1752
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 4: down your throats. And then a copycat legal look at

1753
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 4: it and say, hey, that seems to be working.

1754
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 3: Everybody will start running the ball more like.

1755
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 4: This is that weird cycle that I'm convinced the NFL

1756
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 4: in some wayss like the economy. It's like it's just

1757
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 4: it's cycles. It goes this way, then this way, then

1758
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 4: this way, then this way. And so to your point, yeah,

1759
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 4: one hundred percent. If you see the resurgence of running backs,

1760
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 4: now you're gonna have to have a resurgence of how

1761
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 4: do you stop these running backs? And you know, just

1762
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 4: like we've seen two high safeties and everybody wants to

1763
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 4: talk about, you know, depth of coverage and all of

1764
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 4: these things. Well, at some point, if you figure out

1765
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 4: how to run on all these defenses.

1766
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 3: These defense is going to have to adjust, which will

1767
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 3: then create the counter adjustment and going back to throw

1768
01:25:58,200 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 3: the ball a bunch. That's what I love. Like the

1769
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 3: match of all of this is what I love.

1770
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, it's one of my favorite things.

1771
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 2: I remember talking to Bags years ago. He foresaw it coming.

1772
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 2: We were we It was like an off season, and

1773
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 2: he comes back to my area in the off season.

1774
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,719
Speaker 2: So we're just grabbing a beer and we're just talking

1775
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 2: about the league itself, and he's like, you know, I

1776
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 2: just don't understand why teams. Everybody's is light, everybody's light

1777
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 2: and fast. He's like, I don't know why teams don't

1778
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 2: go bring back a full back, big running backs and

1779
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 2: just pound it because you're you're gonna have such an

1780
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 2: advantage doing that. And Lowell behold, actually it finally took form.

1781
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 3: Isn't that the smart thing to do?

1782
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 4: I mean, at somebody you look around and say, okay,

1783
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 4: especially if you don't have the quarterback that you can trust, man,

1784
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 4: heck of a lot easier.

1785
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna bring in this running back.

1786
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 4: Like I'm waiting for Ashton Genty to join the Cowboys

1787
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,600
Speaker 4: and the Cowboys, by the way, have some serious issues.

1788
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 3: On the offensive line. Like I'm saying this right now,

1789
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:11,719
Speaker 3: I'll say it loudly.

1790
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 4: When we get into the draft, if the Cowboys pass

1791
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 4: on everything in the entire draft but only take offensive

1792
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 4: lineman with every single pick, I still.

1793
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,639
Speaker 3: Support that, like, you gotta get that offensive line fix.

1794
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 4: But once Ashton Genty is part of the Cowboys organization

1795
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,799
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, this offense looks dynamic again, We're.

1796
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 3: Gonna sit here and be like, huh, what do we know?

1797
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,320
Speaker 4: Like maybe maybe everything wasn't broken, maybe they don't suck

1798
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 4: like you just you can't be completely one dimensional in

1799
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 4: the modern league and succeed a week in a week out.

1800
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 4: So it's amazing how teams seem to lose that focus

1801
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 4: when they forget about one position.

1802
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 2: I know it's it's and now that it's back, you

1803
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 2: start to wonder, like why did it go away?

1804
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 5: Like why did it go Like I get.

1805
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 2: Everybody pass past pass fast passed, and the short pass

1806
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 2: game is the extension of the run game, and you

1807
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:09,600
Speaker 2: know what it is. But you know, watching Man and

1808
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 2: watching great backs, watching Henry and on the East Coast

1809
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 2: and watching Barkley and watching those dudes. I mean, at

1810
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 2: some point last Sunday night, the Rams defense just wilted,

1811
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, it's Barkley, It's more home runs

1812
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 2: than I were judge.

1813
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 4: And there's this element of just I don't know, to me,

1814
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 4: limiting possessions, which is essentially what you're doing if you're

1815
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 4: controlling the clock, like we talked about Georgia Tech and

1816
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 4: up until overtime, sort of how the way that game

1817
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 4: was working for him. One thing that you can look

1818
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 4: across the board bad teams are capable of doing is

1819
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 4: limited on my Google is talking to me apparently. But

1820
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 4: one thing bad teams can do is who knew they

1821
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 4: can limit possessions? Like if you can get to the

1822
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,439
Speaker 4: point where we see this all the time, where how

1823
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 4: is that game close for the first half?

1824
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 3: Well, each team only had the ball three times? How

1825
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 3: do you do that?

1826
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 4: You run the football effectively, You run the football and

1827
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 4: you just pound your way down A thirteen fourteen to

1828
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 4: fifteen play drive is monotonous TV for so many people.

1829
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 4: To me, that's the way a bad team team stays

1830
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 4: competitive with the good one. So I think, you know,

1831
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 4: we lose sight of that sometimes because we get so

1832
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 4: infatuated with fantasy football, with gambling numbers, and frankly with

1833
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 4: video game football. But if you can slow it down

1834
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 4: and you can make sure that the other team's not

1835
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:30,679
Speaker 4: on the field. Yeah, you can't turn the ball over

1836
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 4: a lot when you're built that way, and you can't

1837
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,639
Speaker 4: commit a lot of penalties and survive it when you're

1838
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 4: built that way. But if you play clean, efficient football

1839
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 4: and you can run the football, you can win a

1840
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:39,719
Speaker 4: lot of games you shouldn't.

1841
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1842
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:45,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, and especially with you know, the one

1843
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 2: change has to come. And like we kind of talked

1844
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 2: about the flip side, which is the sturdy linebackers, right.

1845
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 5: Like you you know, everybody was so light. Ends were

1846
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 5: so light.

1847
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:02,679
Speaker 2: Linebackers were really like strong safeties, you know, guys going

1848
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 2: into two twelve, two fifteen. It's it's it's interesting how

1849
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 2: it has as an effect on all that. And now

1850
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 2: those guys, those light backers, you can't hold up. You

1851
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 2: got Henry and you got a line of behemoths coming

1852
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 2: at you.

1853
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:24,799
Speaker 5: You're two hund twelve pounds, you can't hold up anymore.

1854
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1855
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 4: I also think it's it's kind of incredible. Just a

1856
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 4: reminder go back and watch old football games from the

1857
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 4: eighties early nineties, see how top heavy everybody was. Like,

1858
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 4: it's funny that you just look at the way the

1859
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 4: game was built versus the way the game is built now.

1860
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 4: Like part of the devaluing of running backs has come

1861
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 4: down to the fact that the entire game has approached

1862
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,440
Speaker 4: differently in the way people training is so different.

1863
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 3: In all of these things.

1864
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm I'm looking squarely at Phillies defense particularly

1865
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 4: and Phillies offense, and I'm saying, in a copycat league,

1866
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:57,759
Speaker 4: how many teams are gonna look around and say, Okay,

1867
01:30:58,000 --> 01:30:58,679
Speaker 4: wait a minute.

1868
01:30:58,680 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 3: If you have.

1869
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,880
Speaker 4: Bruisers at all three levels, they can actually they can

1870
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,280
Speaker 4: fly to the ball and hit, and you have an

1871
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 4: offense that can control the line of scrimmage with the

1872
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 4: just an offensive line that's dominant, then all of everything

1873
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 4: else that you do looks so much better. Everything else

1874
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:15,640
Speaker 4: that you do look so much cleaner. Like there's a

1875
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 4: reason that whether we're talking about Jalen or whether we're

1876
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:20,360
Speaker 4: talking about Saquan or whether we're talking about aj Brown,

1877
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 4: they all look like superstars because they're allowed to look

1878
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 4: like superstars because the team's built the right way. It's

1879
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:28,719
Speaker 4: just it's it's amazing how we're obsessed with one position,

1880
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:30,960
Speaker 4: and really the best way to have a great team

1881
01:31:31,040 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 4: is to be really good up the bottom.

1882
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 2: Well, really good on the front, right, like yeah, you know,

1883
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 2: you know it's it's it's such the cliche, and we

1884
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,800
Speaker 2: comes up in conversation often and you know, we say

1885
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:43,719
Speaker 2: the same thing.

1886
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 5: But it's just so true.

1887
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 2: Like the Chiefs are not the Chiefs because of the

1888
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:50,480
Speaker 2: tackle situation.

1889
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 5: But you can't have your tackle line up consistently.

1890
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:57,679
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's talking about on the broadcast how he's

1891
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 2: cheating and he gets snagged every time, Like, dude, you're

1892
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 2: watching you.

1893
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 5: So you can't line up off the line of scrimmage.

1894
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 5: You got to be on the line of scrimmage. Like

1895
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 5: how after while annoying me, I'd have to bring him out.

1896
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 4: Well, and you win a bunch of games by winning

1897
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage on both sides. And frankly, right now,

1898
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 4: what's amazing is the Chiefs are winning the line of

1899
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:22,559
Speaker 4: scrimmage on the defensive side of the ball more often

1900
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,839
Speaker 4: than not, but they can't win it on the offensive

1901
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 4: side of the ball.

1902
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 3: But they have Superman.

1903
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 4: So the logic is as long as we have Superman

1904
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,879
Speaker 4: will be okay. I just most teams aren't gonna have Superman.

1905
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:33,800
Speaker 4: So if you don't have Superman, even if you just

1906
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 4: have pretty good man, Like, if you're a pretty good man,

1907
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 4: you better have five in front of him that can

1908
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:40,600
Speaker 4: make him function to the best of his capabilities. The

1909
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 4: Chiefs are lucky that they have Superman, and that masks that.

1910
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 3: But man, I just I don't know.

1911
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 4: I think the fact is it's easier to find offense

1912
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:52,720
Speaker 4: as tough as it is to find offensive linemen. It's

1913
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 4: easier to find five offensive linemen than it is to

1914
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,439
Speaker 4: find the greatest quarterback of all time.

1915
01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's what we're seeing right now.

1916
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean you know, and again it's playing

1917
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,719
Speaker 2: out right, it's playing out Buffalo.

1918
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:07,639
Speaker 5: What's in common?

1919
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, great quarterback, but you know, great line Baltimore, right,

1920
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:17,040
Speaker 2: great quarterback, great line Detroit. Look at that line that

1921
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 2: the Lions have, dead line sick, right, I mean that

1922
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 2: dead Lions line is.

1923
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 5: Is really really good. Man, They're just they're terrific and

1924
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 5: it fill up is the same thing.

1925
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:33,879
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the I mean that line is

1926
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 2: is ridiculous, like adding Beckton. So I know, a little

1927
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 2: bit about that about how they're trying to build that thing.

1928
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:45,040
Speaker 2: They were looking to draft an alignment they were they

1929
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 2: were looking at to come away with with their first

1930
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:53,680
Speaker 2: two picks. Coming away with a corner an alignment. Now

1931
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 2: it just goes to show you just so happened that

1932
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 2: both the cornerback the guys they loved, Mitchell and Gene

1933
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 2: are we're both there. So the day after the draft

1934
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:11,799
Speaker 2: they went and signed Beckton from the Jets and thinking,

1935
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 2: you know what, we could play him inside. It could

1936
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 2: be a swing tackle, but he could also play guard,

1937
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,080
Speaker 2: And turned out he worked perfectly at guard.

1938
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 4: I mean that's sometimes better to be lucky than good

1939
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 4: with that. And but also think about what you just said.

1940
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:30,000
Speaker 4: As much as you have a plan when you go

1941
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 4: into the draft, at some point you got to look

1942
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 4: at it and say, Okay, there are players we love here,

1943
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 4: and we're going to take the best player that fits,

1944
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 4: like the best player available versus need. I think it's

1945
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 4: the best player available that fits the need.

1946
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

1947
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 4: Like I don't think if you have my homes you

1948
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 4: just go best player available if that's a quarterback, right,

1949
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 4: like for the Eagles and for quality football teams, how

1950
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 4: often do we look back at the draft a couple

1951
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:53,720
Speaker 4: of years later and say, man, boy, they made that

1952
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:54,280
Speaker 4: look easy.

1953
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:55,800
Speaker 3: Why because they're just.

1954
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:59,360
Speaker 4: Taking It's like, oh, clearly, like we talked earlier about

1955
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 4: brock Bauers, I will never question that draft pick, no

1956
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 4: matter what else happened in the in the process of

1957
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 4: that draft, because frankly, the best player on the on

1958
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 4: the board at that point, clearly not even close on

1959
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 4: almost every draft board was brought powers And sometimes you

1960
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:14,840
Speaker 4: just sit back there and you're like, you know what,

1961
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:17,519
Speaker 4: if we want to consistently become the Eagles, you take

1962
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:19,759
Speaker 4: the best player on the board. And there's context sometimes

1963
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 4: to why you don't. But let's be real, there's context

1964
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 4: that needs to happen around some of the conversations like

1965
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:27,120
Speaker 4: Jalen Carter and things like that. Content there's context around it.

1966
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 4: But my god, like you have to look at it

1967
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 4: and say, hey, there is logic too, this best player

1968
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 4: on the board, and we're going to figure out how

1969
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 4: to get the best players and bring the best players

1970
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 4: in and get the best out of them that we

1971
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 4: could possibly get. It's over simplification, but where teams go

1972
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:43,040
Speaker 4: wrong when they're drafting all the time is well, we

1973
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 4: really need a wide receiver, and we're just gonna take

1974
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 4: this wide receiver because he's the best of a bad lot.

1975
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,879
Speaker 3: You know, even look at the Bills you mentioned earlier.

1976
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,640
Speaker 4: Yes, they went in and got a wide receiver, but

1977
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 4: they understood that, like we can take any of these guys,

1978
01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:56,920
Speaker 4: so they traded down.

1979
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 3: They got more equity in the process. Some of that

1980
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 3: stuff is just smart. Forget that.

1981
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and it is. It's exactly right,

1982
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 2: It's exactly right. And again, you know, just to bring

1983
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 2: back up that game yesterday, and you know, at some point,

1984
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 2: if you're the Raiders and your and your plan works,

1985
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 2: and you got a quarterback and whether it's Shadoor and

1986
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 2: you gotta you got a line, then imagine Shador throwing

1987
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 2: the bot to brock Bowers.

1988
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 3: There, you are right about that.

1989
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:29,600
Speaker 4: Like brock Bowers has already set the rookie record in

1990
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 4: Raiders history for most catches at any position, including wide receiver.

1991
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 4: He's on pace to shatter every single rookie tight end record.

1992
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:39,639
Speaker 4: And he's done it on a team that as trash

1993
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,479
Speaker 4: quarterback play and has had some of the worst offensive

1994
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 4: line play because of injury and because of talent that

1995
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,639
Speaker 4: I've literally ever seen in my life as a Raiders fan.

1996
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,080
Speaker 4: And brock Bowers is still put.

1997

Speaker 3: I want it?

2050
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 5: What is it about?

2051
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:59,719
Speaker 2: I think we love as as people we love anything

2052
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 2: in the pouch.

2053
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 3: Like kiaroons or what right we do?

2054
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:11,600
Speaker 2: We love pouches, man, we're like when it comes in.

2055
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 2: My favorite argament is a panzerati. You know what a

2056
01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 2: panzerati is?

2057
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna google it. Panzeradi.

2058
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 2: So it's basically, you know, imagine an inside uh.

2059
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,799
Speaker 3: Like pocket, it's a hot is a small col zone.

2060
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 4: Okay, savory Italian turnover, All right, it's a hot pocket.

2061
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 3: Looks like a hot pocket.

2062
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:41,160
Speaker 2: Right, but it's it's a little bit puffier and you

2063
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 2: can get pizza dough, or you can get bread dough.

2064
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:46,880
Speaker 2: Bread dough is really like a stromboli. But you get

2065
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 2: a pizza dough and you you you basically put cheese

2066
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 2: and tomato sauce, and you can put whatever topics you want,

2067
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 2: pepperoni or whatever, and then you fold it and then

2068
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 2: you clamp the edges down so it's a pocket, and

2069
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:07,600
Speaker 2: then you deep fry it and it's ridiculous. It's like

2070
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 2: a decaded item. It's it's unbelievable. Like those those pouches

2071
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 2: and pockets are the best thing ever.

2072
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm a cow zone guy too, Like I like cow zones.

2073
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 2: Ye say that same family, Yeah, cal Zones, Pancarati, their cousins,

2074
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 2: they're the cousin pieces.

2075
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 4: Anyway, I still like pouch people is the name of

2076
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 4: our band sometime.

2077
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 3: We're just going to create a band.

2078
01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 5: We're pouched people. It's the pouches, the pouch rolls.

2079
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:36,479
Speaker 3: Man.

2080
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's the best. All right, let's go through

2081
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 2: the days. The games. We start, big nude kickoff. That's

2082
01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 2: right on Fox Michigan, Ohio State, Ohio State.

2083
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 5: Nineteen and a half point favorites.

2084
01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:58,920
Speaker 4: Hammer the points didn't do me. I want Ohio State

2085
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,799
Speaker 4: with the points. I just again, this is first and foremost.

2086
01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:06,479
Speaker 4: I will loudly proclaim that I think Will Howard playing

2087
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 4: as well as he did against Indiana was a big

2088
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 4: statement moment for him.

2089
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:11,679
Speaker 3: He hasn't gotten as.

2090
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,680
Speaker 4: Necessarily as much love this year because we all know

2091
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 4: how good the weapons are and how great the.

2092
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 3: Running backs are.

2093
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 4: But I thought, well, Howard played well against Indiana, that

2094
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 4: was a big test for him, and Michigan just doesn't

2095
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 4: have the cannons to compete here. This turns, this gets ugly,

2096
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:29,559
Speaker 4: and Michigan fans, I would just remind you that, hey,

2097
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 4: you know what, You're Bowl eligible and you're still the

2098
01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:35,200
Speaker 4: defending national champion, So who cares like you got a

2099
01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:36,679
Speaker 4: quarterback coming in next year.

2100
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 3: That everybody's a big believer in.

2101
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you hit a home run there, so you know what,

2102
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 4: you survived your rebuild year.

2103
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 3: Just better luck next year. Take take l on this.

2104
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 4: Let Ohio State talk, they talk, but remember you have

2105
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 4: something that they don't have right now, which is a

2106
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 4: national championship banner that's up in the sky because you

2107
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 4: are the defending national.

2108
01:42:56,560 --> 01:43:05,639
Speaker 2: Champions Tennessee Vandy. That's coming up at noon as well.

2109
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:09,439
Speaker 2: Tennessee is a ten and a half point favorite. Again,

2110
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,720
Speaker 2: you know you're sitting at ninety two. You can't have

2111
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 2: any slip ups.

2112
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 4: Also, that number feels feels a little fat to me.

2113
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 4: And here's why, Like you think about this Missouri, who

2114
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:24,719
Speaker 4: the committee still thinks is a good team, I don't

2115
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:28,200
Speaker 4: know why needed everything and a little bit of grace

2116
01:43:28,240 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 4: from God to beat Vandy earlier this year. LSU not

2117
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:32,280
Speaker 4: a great football team.

2118
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:32,960
Speaker 3: Just beat Vandy.

2119
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 4: I know they've lost two straight South Carolina absolutely random.

2120
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 4: But this is a team that played Texas incredibly tough.

2121
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 4: This is a team that beat Alabama. Like yark Lee

2122
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:44,920
Speaker 4: knows how to get Vandy up for these sorts of games.

2123
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:48,360
Speaker 4: So and this is I'll go back to my twenty

2124
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 4: plus years living in Nashville. This game will never meet

2125
01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:54,080
Speaker 4: as much to Tennessee as it does to Vandy for

2126
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt fans. And when James Franklin was at Vandy, this

2127
01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,760
Speaker 4: was the real moment for him when when Vandy went

2128
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:03,719
Speaker 4: in and beat Tennessee, it changed the whole way Nashville

2129
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:06,639
Speaker 4: looked at Vandy and their legitimacy.

2130
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 3: Is a college football program.

2131
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 4: At the time, I believe that Vandy comes out with

2132
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 4: a little bit of the thunder of the gods in

2133
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:14,919
Speaker 4: this one place hard. I think Tennessee wins the football game. Obviously,

2134
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 4: playoffs on the line, but I just the number feels

2135
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 4: a little fat to.

2136
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:19,600
Speaker 3: Mean, Vandy's better than they're getting credit for.

2137
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,520
Speaker 5: And I agree, I think they scared Tennessee.

2138
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:24,760
Speaker 3: They're bull bound. I mean, Vandy's had to do a

2139
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 3: bowl game.

2140
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:27,560
Speaker 2: Who would have thought, Yeah, you know, I agree, I

2141
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:29,400
Speaker 2: think they Scarell.

2142
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 5: Colb Sunn back in the mix.

2143
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:35,680
Speaker 2: Clemson, Man, I don't know, dude, she's three of us

2144
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 2: South Carolina today. I look at that Clemson team and

2145
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 2: I whatever, I did that?

2146
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,880
Speaker 5: Acc Can I hold my nose?

2147
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean's this is why?

2148
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 4: And I'm look, I've been part of the conversations, and

2149
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,759
Speaker 4: I'm lucky enough to cover college football a lot for Yahoo.

2150
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:57,160
Speaker 4: And you know South Carolina Clemson winner headed to the

2151
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:01,719
Speaker 4: college football playoff. I just South Carolin has beaten lately,

2152
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 4: or sorry, Clemson has beaten lately. The Citadel Pitt Barely,

2153
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 4: Virginia Tech, Virginia Wake Forest, Florida State. Find me the

2154
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 4: moment there You're like, oh my god, I mean they

2155
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 4: lost to Louisville pretty handily, and obviously they lost earlier

2156
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 4: this year to Georgia handily, so they haven't really played

2157
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:25,479
Speaker 4: much since. And Kate Kobec has looked better. But I

2158
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 4: just I struggled to find to figure out why we're

2159
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:34,160
Speaker 4: so desperately trying to cram Clemson into this football playoff conversation.

2160
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 2: I don't get it. You know, I'll be honest with you.

2161
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,200
Speaker 2: I think I like South Carolina more than a conlemption.

2162
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 4: And South Carolina still has I mean South Carolina has

2163
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 4: the close loss to Bama that looks like a good loss.

2164
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:52,200
Speaker 4: They got just throttle by Ole miss They lose a

2165
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 4: close game to LSU that we now know is not

2166
01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:56,760
Speaker 4: very good. A lot of their other wins, I mean,

2167
01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 4: they beat Missouri again.

2168
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,800
Speaker 3: I don't think Missouri's great. You know it's Texas A

2169
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 3: and M.

2170
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 2: They'd bet they beat Vandy twenty eight to seven. They

2171
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 2: beat Texas A and M forty four to twenty. They

2172
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 2: beat Oklahoma thirty five to nine in Norman.

2173
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 7: I mean.

2174
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:18,639
Speaker 5: Respect for that.

2175
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 3: I'll give you that. Those are decent wins. I don't

2176
01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:21,679
Speaker 3: think that's enough.

2177
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 4: I don't think they've done enough to get themselves into

2178
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 4: the College Football Playoff.

2179
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 5: And my point is I like them better than Clemson.

2180
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I'm with you. I think they win

2181
01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:31,240
Speaker 3: the game today.

2182
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 4: I just don't think that winning the game suddenly propels

2183
01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 4: South Carolina into the college football playoff conversation, especially with

2184
01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:40,360
Speaker 4: the head to head loss to Alabama.

2185
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:44,080
Speaker 5: Penn State is Maryland. They're a huge favorite over the

2186
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:46,200
Speaker 5: terms twenty five.

2187
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 3: By the way, how's it? How do we work all

2188
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 3: this out?

2189
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,360
Speaker 4: That Rivalry Week really gives us such a turn of

2190
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 4: a game for Penn State, Like they just don't have

2191
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 4: a rival. This is like the weird thropple that the

2192
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 4: Big Ten is in because, like you know, Penn State

2193
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 4: would probably tell you that Ohio State's their big rival,

2194
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 4: but Ohio State would tell you that Michigan's their big rival.

2195
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:07,640
Speaker 4: In Michigan State would tell you that Michigan's Like they

2196
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 4: got side pieces all.

2197
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 3: Over the Big Ten. They can't figure out their rivalries.

2198
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 2: I mean they should be it should be Pitt, right,

2199
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 2: Penn State's natural rival should be Pitt.

2200
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 4: There's just no win in them ever playing Pitt ever,

2201
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:24,320
Speaker 4: Like I mean, if they beat Pitt, you know, huzzah,

2202
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:26,559
Speaker 4: you beat Pitt. If you lose to pit It's going

2203
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:28,799
Speaker 4: to derail your entire season. It's a little like Tennessee

2204
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:31,519
Speaker 4: Vandy in that sense, like, yeah, you know, there's way

2205
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 4: more on the line for Penn State. You're right, that

2206
01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:36,200
Speaker 4: should be the rivalry. I just you know, I work

2207
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 4: a lot with Adam Brenneman over at Yahoo, and I

2208
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 4: was just laughing because I looked at I was gonna

2209
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 4: ask him about his best rivalry week stories, and then

2210
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 4: I looked up, like Maryland, I don't really care about

2211
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:48,720
Speaker 4: your rivalry week stories against Maryland.

2212
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:52,639
Speaker 5: Cod Nah, No, you're and you're right.

2213
01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:55,400
Speaker 2: They don't have the you know, Penn State Notre Dame

2214
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 2: was a big deal, but well you said Penn State,

2215
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan. But you know there are

2216
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:06,559
Speaker 2: the secondary rivals for the other teams. Miami Syracuse is

2217
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 2: a great game. Miami's eleven in this game. I love

2218
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 2: I love Syracuse in the game.

2219
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 4: I am so tired, just exhausted. And I'm not talking

2220
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 4: about the four hours of sleep I got last night

2221
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 4: because of an eight overtime football game. I'm talking about

2222
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 4: the way I feel every week coming on here with

2223
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 4: my friend, with my good brother Anthony gargane As I

2224
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 4: sit here every week and I tell you.

2225
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 3: Miami's better than we think. I'm done. I'm done defending Miami.

2226
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:40,240
Speaker 4: Miami at this point is the friend that can't keep

2227
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:44,639
Speaker 4: themselves out of jail. You know, Like every week you're like, now, guys,

2228
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 4: I think you figured it out. He's fine, he's changed,

2229
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 4: and then a week later you're like, yeah, I gotta

2230
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 4: go bail him out again. I'm done, and I'm done.

2231
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 4: We're in the car and I'm like, hey, man, I

2232
01:48:52,880 --> 01:48:54,760
Speaker 4: love you, but I just can't. I can't trust you

2233
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 4: to get out of your own way. That's Miami. I'm

2234
01:48:57,160 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 4: tired of bailing them out. I'm tired of defending him, honestly. Like,

2235
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 4: and I say this without a favorite college football team

2236
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:05,599
Speaker 4: really in my life. You know, if he doesn't count,

2237
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,679
Speaker 4: they've never been good enough. I hope Syracuse wins this game,

2238
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:11,519
Speaker 4: just a we could stop talking about Miami. Like what

2239
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:14,800
Speaker 4: I want is Syracuse to beat Miami, Clemson to get

2240
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:17,920
Speaker 4: into the ACC Championship game, and SMU to rail them

2241
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 4: so that we don't end up with multiple ACC teams

2242
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 4: in the College Football Playoff because they don't deserve it.

2243
01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 2: They don't they don't I agree SMUs cal Today they're

2244
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:33,840
Speaker 2: almost a two touchdown favorite. Uh iron ball, man, how

2245
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 2: good you used to What did the iron ball used

2246
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:36,600
Speaker 2: to be?

2247
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, man, this is my favorite. I keep

2248
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 4: saying about the iron Ball, and y'all like see through

2249
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:46,920
Speaker 4: the curt We live in a conspiracy theorist society that

2250
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 4: I absolutely hate.

2251
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you.

2252
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:51,640
Speaker 4: I don't care about conspiracy theories and we live in

2253
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 4: this like, oh, wake up, don't let them in. Okay,

2254
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 4: if you're gonna wake up about any one thing in

2255
01:49:56,240 --> 01:50:00,000
Speaker 4: the world, understand that when you hear the phrase throw

2256
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 4: out the records, what you're what you're being told is

2257
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 4: don't worry about the fact that this game sucks like

2258
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 4: it's gonna be It's the Iron Bowl. I'm sure it's

2259
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:12,360
Speaker 4: gonna be exciting. It's always exciting. It has no consequence

2260
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 4: in my mind. I mean, obviously Alabama could lose and

2261
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:18,439
Speaker 4: then maybe they're out, like clearly out of the college

2262
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,679
Speaker 4: football playoff and we don't have to talk about them anymore.

2263
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 4: But man, like this game matters to Alabama and Auburn

2264
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 4: fans because it's the Iron Bowl.

2265
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:28,440
Speaker 3: But when's the last time, these two teams were collectively

2266
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:31,920
Speaker 3: so worthless to the college football conversation that we were

2267
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:33,040
Speaker 3: having to sit here and.

2268
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 4: Justify all throw out the records. So it's the Iron Bowl.

2269
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:37,679
Speaker 4: You never know what's gonna happen.

2270
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:41,520
Speaker 3: It just shows you that this game stinks, like what

2271
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:42,080
Speaker 3: what we're used to.

2272
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 5: You're spot on, dude, You're spot on.

2273
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm thinking if I close my eyes and

2274
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 2: it's it's vern right and call the iron balls, Lundquists

2275
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 2: and Gary Danielson and it's you know, it's an epic

2329

2333
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:44,200
Speaker 9: like I said, I'm barely getting over Thanksgiving as soon

2334
01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 9: as Christmas hits and all the holidays stress of like

2335
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:48,760
Speaker 9: this needs to get done, this needs to get done.

2336
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:51,400
Speaker 9: It's just it just it's all is a stress with

2337
01:53:51,439 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 9: me at all. I just I think of holidays like

2338
01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:58,120
Speaker 9: to Molly's, like that's the only Mexican thing I do

2339
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:01,120
Speaker 9: in my life honestly, Like I don't speak Spanish, I

2340
01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 9: can't like converse with anybody, but I make smallies with

2341
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 9: my family and that is stressful. I mean, you know,

2342
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 9: you cook, and that is like a whole, like a semi.

2343
01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:14,760
Speaker 3: Just because I have, like I don't cook. What do

2344
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 3: you think like just.

2345
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:23,720
Speaker 9: Stress? I'm just I just associate Christmas music with like

2346
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:26,759
Speaker 9: the shopping, wrapping, cooking.

2347
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 5: You have to do this christ fun?

2348
01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:33,120

Speaker 3: I meanterday for fun.

2350
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:40,920
Speaker 8: Think about is holding on to the stress part of

2351
01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:43,240
Speaker 8: it instead of seeing it as the fun part with.

2352
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:46,240
Speaker 5: And that's why I want you to start your.

2353

Speaker 8: Free and when the music starts your free to say Christmas.

2354
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 8: That's the that's the line. After you cut the turkey

2355
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:59,760
Speaker 8: and the day has hit, now you can take out

2356

2357
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:04,400

2358
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 9: The second I don't have leftovers in my fridge anymore,

2359

01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:50,320
Speaker 2: because you kind of know what that's about. You know,

2456
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:53,840
Speaker 2: more than Oregon Washington, because I don't think Washington has

2457
01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:56,200
Speaker 2: the chops to beat Oregon.

2458
01:59:57,480 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 5: It comes down to Texas Texas A and M.

2459
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:04,000
Speaker 2: I think that's that's the biggest game most on the line.

2460
02:00:05,160 --> 02:00:08,240
Speaker 2: A and M is Texas a five and eight point

2461
02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:10,160
Speaker 2: favorite at college Station.

2462
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:13,320
Speaker 5: I think A and M is very live in the game.

2463
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean not for nothing.

2464
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 4: As we know, Texas A and M controls their own

2465
02:00:19,560 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 4: destiny right like. They're the number twenty team currently in

2466
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 4: the rankings, and it should be noted that they have

2467
02:00:25,680 --> 02:00:28,040
Speaker 4: a very clear path that the college football Playoffs. They

2468
02:00:28,040 --> 02:00:30,280
Speaker 4: have to beat Texas and Georgia to do it. That's

2469
02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:34,680
Speaker 4: less than ideal. But frankly, this game is everything for

2470
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:37,440
Speaker 4: the day. This is a must win game for A

2471
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:39,760
Speaker 4: and M and you know, for the Longhorns. I don't

2472
02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:41,840
Speaker 4: know that Texas has a ton of wiggle room on

2473
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:44,600
Speaker 4: this either. So even though Texas comes into this with

2474
02:00:44,720 --> 02:00:47,000
Speaker 4: only one loss, so depending on what else happens. So

2475
02:00:47,640 --> 02:00:50,360
Speaker 4: but really the question here for me is all about

2476
02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:53,120
Speaker 4: do I believe at some point that Texas A and

2477
02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 4: M can actually consistently throw the football.

2478
02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:57,760
Speaker 3: They haven't been able to do that at all.

2479
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:00,320
Speaker 4: You know, they've had quarterback issues from most of the

2480
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:02,520
Speaker 4: year and now they've got sort of a dual threat

2481
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:05,040
Speaker 4: situation that they feel pretty good about it. I know

2482
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:07,480
Speaker 4: they're gonna be able to run the football from the

2483
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:10,040
Speaker 4: quarterback position. I don't know if they're going to be

2484
02:01:10,080 --> 02:01:13,440
Speaker 4: able to throw the football well enough. So I think

2485
02:01:13,520 --> 02:01:15,480
Speaker 4: that's the biggest part of this is can they actually

2486
02:01:15,480 --> 02:01:18,480
Speaker 4: come in and throw the football. If they become one dimensional,

2487
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:21,120
Speaker 4: they don't win. If they can stay two dimensional, and

2488
02:01:21,160 --> 02:01:23,920
Speaker 4: then that defensive line can cook against Texas, it's gonna

2489
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:25,360
Speaker 4: be really interesting.

2490
02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:30,840
Speaker 5: She had. Man, you're spot on. It could be really interested.

2491
02:01:31,040 --> 02:01:34,720
Speaker 2: Is right on, brother, It's gonna be interesting in a

2492
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:35,280
Speaker 2: big way.

2493
02:01:36,240 --> 02:01:38,160
Speaker 5: All right, we talked a lot of kles.

2494
02:01:38,240 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 2: Let's start out a look at the NFL, because we

2495
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:45,640
Speaker 2: talked about it a little bit. We started to show

2496
02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 2: talking about ibra Flus and the Eber fumble of the

2497
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:55,000
Speaker 2: time out, and then of course, you know, there's nothing worse.

2498
02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 2: The whole world's watching the Gabe right like you know,

2499
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:05,280
Speaker 2: the whole cut it's Thanksgiving. The NFL owns Thanksgiving. Everybody's

2500
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:09,240
Speaker 2: watching it, and everybody's rooting Chicago because everybody's rooting for

2501
02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:10,760
Speaker 2: the underdog except for Detroit.

2502
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:12,240
Speaker 5: Like you know, that's how it works.

2503
02:02:13,440 --> 02:02:16,520
Speaker 2: And next thing, you know, to get the pass interference

2504
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:20,120
Speaker 2: pedalty that puts you square to field goal range to

2505
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 2: tie it, and it just goes sideways from there. One mistake,

2506
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:28,400
Speaker 2: play called mistake, and then the timeout was the worst

2507
02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:28,920
Speaker 2: thing ever.

2508
02:02:30,200 --> 02:02:33,520
Speaker 4: The timeout and the fact that you know he came

2509
02:02:33,560 --> 02:02:35,840
Speaker 4: out afterwards and said, well, this made sense. And we've

2510
02:02:35,880 --> 02:02:38,040
Speaker 4: heard so much from Caleb in the process too, like

2511
02:02:38,480 --> 02:02:42,600
Speaker 4: there was time left obviously with the timeout, they could

2512
02:02:42,640 --> 02:02:46,839
Speaker 4: have taken their opportunity to burn that time out compose themselves. Instead,

2513
02:02:46,920 --> 02:02:48,480
Speaker 4: it takes forever to get a play call in. They

2514
02:02:48,480 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 4: don't really seem to know what they're doing. Then Caleb

2515
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:52,840
Speaker 4: changes the play call because he realizes he's not gonna

2516
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:55,000
Speaker 4: have enough time to get anything done, and heaves the

2517
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:57,440
Speaker 4: ball down field and you're just understaying, how the hell

2518
02:02:57,480 --> 02:02:58,120
Speaker 4: did this happen?

2519
02:02:58,240 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 3: And you know, that's.

2520
02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:01,960
Speaker 4: Why I think when you see that boneheaded moment, and

2521
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:04,080
Speaker 4: it speaks to the communication, It speaks to the fact

2522
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:05,640
Speaker 4: that the play call should have come in. It speaks

2523
02:03:05,640 --> 02:03:07,200
Speaker 4: to the fact that they should have been definitive. It

2524
02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:09,600
Speaker 4: speaks to the fact that eber Flu's standing on the

2525
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:11,600
Speaker 4: sideline had to look over and say, this is going

2526
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:13,040
Speaker 4: off the rails. We got to call the time out

2527
02:03:13,040 --> 02:03:15,160
Speaker 4: now whether you want to or not, Like he never

2528
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:19,120
Speaker 4: saved the team from themselves in that situation. So the

2529
02:03:19,160 --> 02:03:23,640
Speaker 4: Bears lose yet another heartbreaking, oh my god game, like

2530
02:03:23,680 --> 02:03:26,640
Speaker 4: this has been such a weird year for them, But man,

2531
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 4: I just I feel for them that they lose that way.

2532
02:03:29,160 --> 02:03:31,760
Speaker 4: But honestly, if it gets changed at the coaching position,

2533
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:33,080
Speaker 4: maybe it was the best thing for him.

2534
02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:34,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, because here's the thing.

2535
02:03:35,080 --> 02:03:39,080
Speaker 2: You can't consistently lose games like that because they become

2536
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:42,360
Speaker 2: coaches losses, they become you know, you don't manage the

2537
02:03:42,400 --> 02:03:47,960
Speaker 2: game correctly, and that was just egregious on many many levels.

2538
02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 2: And then let me ask you a question, because after

2539
02:03:54,640 --> 02:03:57,880
Speaker 2: the lines are really really good, like we know how

2540
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:01,320
Speaker 2: good they are, it's like almost they kind of kind

2541
02:04:01,320 --> 02:04:03,440
Speaker 2: of fall asleep a little bit. And that's kind of

2542
02:04:03,440 --> 02:04:06,360
Speaker 2: what happened in that game. But moving on to the

2543
02:04:06,440 --> 02:04:12,440
Speaker 2: second game, I mean, was it rock bottom? The worst

2544
02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:13,640
Speaker 2: four o'clock game ever?

2545
02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 4: Loh, Rush, We're gonna sit here, not you and I,

2546
02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:23,120
Speaker 4: but there are plenty of people that are gonna sit

2547
02:04:23,200 --> 02:04:26,120
Speaker 4: here and try and justify why the Cowboys are suddenly

2548
02:04:26,120 --> 02:04:27,600
Speaker 4: going to go on a run to make the playoffs.

2549
02:04:27,680 --> 02:04:30,520
Speaker 4: Don't get it twisted. That is not a good Cowboys team.

2550
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 4: That was not a good Cowboys win. That is a

2551
02:04:33,160 --> 02:04:35,920
Speaker 4: dreadful Giants team with one of the worst efforts you

2552
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:38,320
Speaker 4: could possibly see. I mean, that is a Giants team

2553
02:04:38,320 --> 02:04:40,680
Speaker 4: that has quit in every possible way, that has nothing

2554
02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:42,280
Speaker 4: to play for. And you can see that they have

2555
02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:44,040
Speaker 4: nothing to play for. They're not playing for each other,

2556
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:46,120
Speaker 4: they're not playing for pride, They're not playing for anything.

2557
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:48,080
Speaker 3: It's a Giants team that is laid down. And I

2558
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:49,560
Speaker 3: don't think win's another game this year.

2559
02:04:49,640 --> 02:04:52,080
Speaker 4: So you know, the Giants and the Raiders are clearly

2560
02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 4: headed towards top three picks.

2561
02:04:54,560 --> 02:04:57,640
Speaker 3: In the draft. It's just what an abysmal moment.

2562
02:04:57,680 --> 02:05:00,240
Speaker 4: And also, how did the league not see that coming?

2563
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:02,280
Speaker 4: We all knew the Giants might struggle this year. Why

2564
02:05:02,280 --> 02:05:03,840
Speaker 4: are you giving me that game on Thanksgiving?

2565
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:06,440
Speaker 3: It's a standalone game. Give me at least the shot

2566
02:05:06,520 --> 02:05:08,320
Speaker 3: at a game that should be good. And I know

2567
02:05:08,880 --> 02:05:11,400
Speaker 3: they always liked to put the Cowboys versus a division foe.

2568
02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:12,840
Speaker 3: I just man, I hated it.

2569
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate division games on Thanksgiving. I don't see

2570
02:05:16,720 --> 02:05:20,120
Speaker 2: division games on Thanksgiving. I think that's a mistake. And

2571
02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:20,560
Speaker 2: you threw that.

2572
02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 5: I don't know why they like that. I don't like it.

2573
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,520
Speaker 4: Non division like Thanksgiving Day games to me should be

2574
02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:30,280
Speaker 4: teams that almost never play each other.

2575
02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah we're getting this one. Yeah, give me that.

2576
02:05:34,640 --> 02:05:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to start looking at the opponents more

2577
02:05:38,160 --> 02:05:40,480
Speaker 2: for you know, for the Lions and the Cowboys, and

2578
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:42,320
Speaker 2: make them make them interesting.

2579
02:05:42,440 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 5: Man, I'm with you. Look, Green Bay Miami was an

2580
02:05:46,760 --> 02:05:48,480
Speaker 5: interesting game. That was a good one.

2581
02:05:48,680 --> 02:05:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.

2582
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:52,080
Speaker 4: And by the way, I know this is sacrilegious. I

2583
02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:54,440
Speaker 4: wouldn't have a problem if they stopped always having the

2584
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 4: same teams on Thanksgiving.

2585
02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:58,720
Speaker 3: I just I know, Cowboys Lions fans, you're used to it,

2586
02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:01,400
Speaker 3: but man, I don't. I'd rather see like a mix

2587
02:06:01,480 --> 02:06:02,560
Speaker 3: up of actually good teams.

2588
02:06:02,760 --> 02:06:06,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Dolphins were everything that we thought the

2589
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:09,600
Speaker 4: Dolphins would be there, soft and cold. And I don't

2590
02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:11,720
Speaker 4: want to oversimplify this, but how do your running backs,

2591
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:14,160
Speaker 4: how do your starting running backs only account for I

2592
02:06:14,160 --> 02:06:16,080
Speaker 4: think it was either twelve or fourteen rushers in the

2593
02:06:16,200 --> 02:06:19,720
Speaker 4: entire game in a cold weather Lambeau. Just you knew

2594
02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:21,600
Speaker 4: it was going to be a physical football game. You

2595
02:06:21,640 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 4: knew Green Baby was going to punch you in the mouth.

2596
02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:24,920
Speaker 4: You knew you were going to have to commit to

2597
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:27,160
Speaker 4: hit and the fact that they didn't even try to

2598
02:06:27,200 --> 02:06:28,960
Speaker 4: run the football, it just blew my mind.

2599
02:06:29,880 --> 02:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm completely with you. I'm I was surprised.

2600
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:40,280
Speaker 2: And then that brings us to yesterday Fitzi's Raiders who

2601
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:41,520
Speaker 2: started the show talking.

2602
02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 5: About it, and Man, a couple of things from.

2603
02:06:46,280 --> 02:06:49,800
Speaker 2: The Kansas City side, because we'll get to your personal

2604
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:51,680
Speaker 2: side of them up with the Kansas City side, which

2605
02:06:51,720 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 2: is a big picture. I don't know how you beat

2606
02:06:55,800 --> 02:07:00,960
Speaker 2: Baltimore Buffalo with that offensive line with the tackle play.

2607
02:07:01,440 --> 02:07:05,280
Speaker 2: I mean the tackle and look, I know Baltimore's got herrange,

2608
02:07:05,840 --> 02:07:09,920
Speaker 2: bad defense, the whole thing. But the problem with that is,

2609
02:07:10,440 --> 02:07:13,040
Speaker 2: and I'm talking about in the playoffs, you're gonna have

2610
02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:19,000
Speaker 2: to score to match them. And I don't know, I dude,

2611
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:22,840
Speaker 2: for the life of me, I don't know how The

2612
02:07:22,920 --> 02:07:24,360
Speaker 2: tackle play is horrible.

2613
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:26,400
Speaker 5: And I know I get it.

2614
02:07:26,840 --> 02:07:30,200
Speaker 2: You know that they you know how good they are

2615
02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:34,120
Speaker 2: the whole thing, and I'm a Chiefs guy through and through,

2616
02:07:34,160 --> 02:07:34,920
Speaker 2: and they beat, you.

2617
02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:37,280
Speaker 5: Know, Baltimore to start the season.

2618
02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:41,160
Speaker 2: But this tackle play is I think it's killing my

2619
02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:44,840
Speaker 2: homes and it's killing Andy's play calling because they can't

2620
02:07:44,880 --> 02:07:47,320
Speaker 2: go five to seven step drop and get the ball

2621
02:07:47,400 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 2: down the field.

2622
02:07:48,440 --> 02:07:49,600
Speaker 5: He just doesn't have time.

2623
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:52,640
Speaker 3: You are right about everything you just said.

2624
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:54,720
Speaker 4: And I still think the Kansas City Chiefs are going

2625
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:57,240
Speaker 4: to win the Super Bowl because they just don't know

2626
02:07:57,280 --> 02:08:01,400
Speaker 4: how to lose. They don't make key mistakes. The offensive

2627
02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:05,160
Speaker 4: line is outmatched, but Mahomes saves them over and over

2628
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:07,200
Speaker 4: and over again with plays that he has to make

2629
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:09,000
Speaker 4: like this is not the best of my homes. Everybody

2630
02:08:09,080 --> 02:08:11,000
Speaker 4: keeps saying that. I think there's some fact to that.

2631
02:08:11,320 --> 02:08:12,920
Speaker 4: But the thing of it is, it's not about the

2632
02:08:12,960 --> 02:08:16,160
Speaker 4: plays Mahomes doesn't make during the course of the game.

2633
02:08:16,200 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 4: It's about the fact that late in the game all

2634
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:19,640
Speaker 4: he does is find a way to win.

2635
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:21,600
Speaker 3: And this team has made a deal with the devil.

2636
02:08:21,720 --> 02:08:22,920
Speaker 3: That's the only explanation.

2637
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:25,720
Speaker 4: How do you win on a weird fumbled snap right

2638
02:08:25,800 --> 02:08:28,640
Speaker 4: after you won on a like a wild broken play

2639
02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:31,040
Speaker 4: that got you down the field against the Panthers who

2640
02:08:31,160 --> 02:08:34,160
Speaker 4: suck after you won against a blocked field goal like

2641
02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:36,440
Speaker 4: the way the Chiefs win week in and week out

2642
02:08:36,560 --> 02:08:39,720
Speaker 4: is it's like nothing I've ever seen. I've never seen

2643
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:43,840
Speaker 4: a team this weird before my entire life, and I

2644
02:08:43,880 --> 02:08:46,440
Speaker 4: can't make it make sense, but I just can't. I

2645
02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 4: literally can't bet against Kansas City because all Kansas City

2646
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:53,600
Speaker 4: knows how to do is win these times.

2647
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:55,520
Speaker 2: I get it, dude, I mean, you can't look at

2648
02:08:55,520 --> 02:08:57,800
Speaker 2: a Black Friday game and then judge. But I just

2649
02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:00,720
Speaker 2: judge their old line, like their O line worries me.

2650
02:09:01,120 --> 02:09:04,400
Speaker 2: How many times is he going to line up off

2651
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:06,960
Speaker 2: the line of crimage to try to get a head start.

2652
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:09,360
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody's looking for.

2653
02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:12,480
Speaker 4: It, and they're still giving up five sacks a game lately,

2654
02:09:12,880 --> 02:09:16,040
Speaker 4: Like for the second time in five days, Mahomes took

2655
02:09:16,120 --> 02:09:19,200
Speaker 4: five sacks in this game. Like that is just it

2656
02:09:19,400 --> 02:09:24,440
Speaker 4: is wild to see this happen again and again. It's

2657
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:27,920
Speaker 4: it's crazy that they have this deficiency and they still

2658
02:09:27,960 --> 02:09:30,240
Speaker 4: win football games. I don't know how it happens. And

2659
02:09:30,560 --> 02:09:33,480
Speaker 4: frankly I said a year ago, like, you know, if

2660
02:09:33,520 --> 02:09:35,680
Speaker 4: you're not going to get the Chiefs, now how you're

2661
02:09:35,680 --> 02:09:38,160
Speaker 4: gonna get them. I think this year's Chiefs might even

2662
02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:40,520
Speaker 4: be worse than last year's Chiefs. And I don't know,

2663
02:09:41,080 --> 02:09:44,320
Speaker 4: Like I feel more confident in the Lions, for example,

2664
02:09:44,600 --> 02:09:46,680
Speaker 4: Like a team like the Lions that can really put

2665
02:09:46,760 --> 02:09:49,560
Speaker 4: stress on the Chiefs and make them score all the time,

2666
02:09:49,960 --> 02:09:52,720
Speaker 4: has a very good chance of unseating them.

2667
02:09:52,320 --> 02:09:55,120
Speaker 3: I just can't. I can't bet against them.

2668
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:57,240
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I think you're right.

2669
02:09:57,480 --> 02:09:59,720
Speaker 3: It's gross to watch. It makes no sense.

2670
02:10:00,280 --> 02:10:02,160
Speaker 5: It's a shame because it just derouls.

2671
02:10:02,240 --> 02:10:06,200
Speaker 2: I mean because now with Pacheck go back, they should

2672
02:10:06,320 --> 02:10:07,640
Speaker 2: be it could be really good.

2673
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:11,240
Speaker 5: Ya Hopkins is stud like they're poised.

2674
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:15,520
Speaker 2: If they just had that spot figured out, they would

2675
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:19,480
Speaker 2: they would be on three pt realm. But you know,

2676
02:10:19,560 --> 02:10:21,520
Speaker 2: I just think I don't know how you overcome that tackle,

2677
02:10:21,560 --> 02:10:24,640
Speaker 2: and I feel you on now your your personal side

2678
02:10:24,760 --> 02:10:29,920
Speaker 2: as a die hard lifelong Raiders fan, dude, I feel

2679
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:30,200
Speaker 2: for you.

2680
02:10:30,320 --> 02:10:30,520
Speaker 7: Man.

2681
02:10:30,640 --> 02:10:33,760
Speaker 2: I like losing that way, and I know it's probably

2682
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:36,920
Speaker 2: for the best because of the draft pick. But it's

2683
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 2: a Friday. I was thinking about you. I'm like, man,

2684
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:44,160
Speaker 2: win one for Fitzie. Just may it feel good for

2685
02:10:44,200 --> 02:10:44,560
Speaker 2: a day.

2686
02:10:45,280 --> 02:10:47,160
Speaker 4: Let me let me take a second, though, and remind

2687
02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:49,680
Speaker 4: the league that Black Friday every year.

2688
02:10:49,640 --> 02:10:50,960
Speaker 3: Is now gonna have a game. We all know that

2689
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:52,400
Speaker 3: standalone game every Friday.

2690
02:10:52,880 --> 02:10:56,600
Speaker 4: That game should be in Vegas on all black unis

2691
02:10:56,680 --> 02:10:57,240
Speaker 4: Black Friday.

2692
02:10:57,280 --> 02:10:58,760
Speaker 3: They should do like an all black.

2693
02:10:58,480 --> 02:11:01,200
Speaker 4: Pull jersey, and they should play an allegiance the only

2694
02:11:01,240 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 4: black stadium in the NFL. Black Friday should be hosted

2695
02:11:03,720 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 4: in Vegas every single year. I think that's that makes

2696
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:09,760
Speaker 4: two sents not to do it. That being said, yeah,

2697
02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:12,200
Speaker 4: I think when you lose a heartbreaking game like this,

2698
02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:15,520
Speaker 4: you just I don't know what keeps them coming out

2699
02:11:15,640 --> 02:11:16,800
Speaker 4: week in and week out.

2700
02:11:16,840 --> 02:11:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what keeps them moving like that.

2701
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:22,920
Speaker 4: Week in and week out, because they tried their best,

2702
02:11:23,200 --> 02:11:24,920
Speaker 4: like this was not a Raiders team that came out

2703
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:27,600
Speaker 4: flat and to their credit, that came out and they

2704
02:11:27,640 --> 02:11:30,160
Speaker 4: tried to punch, and it's just it just wasn't there,

2705
02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:32,800
Speaker 4: you know. So the frustrating part is you don't fix

2706
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:35,640
Speaker 4: that easily. And the frustrating part is that Mahomes and

2707
02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:39,560
Speaker 4: Andy Reid aren't going away anytiming soon, right, So that's

2708
02:11:39,640 --> 02:11:41,360
Speaker 4: just going to be the real of it is in

2709
02:11:41,400 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 4: the AFC West, is that b Nicks, Sean Payton, Harbaugh,

2710
02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:49,080
Speaker 4: and Herbert and obviously reading Mahomes like that's that's a

2711
02:11:49,120 --> 02:11:53,000
Speaker 4: fixture of life for the next ten years. I mean,

2712
02:11:53,040 --> 02:11:57,240
Speaker 4: it's just it's crazy to think how far the Raiders

2713
02:11:57,240 --> 02:11:58,960
Speaker 4: have to go to become a competitive team.

2714
02:11:59,080 --> 02:12:01,440
Speaker 3: So the the at.

2715
02:12:01,360 --> 02:12:03,360
Speaker 4: Least if the goal is to suck for Shador, and

2716
02:12:03,400 --> 02:12:04,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's worth it, but I think

2717
02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:07,560
Speaker 4: that's what's gonna happen. If the goal is sucked for Shador,

2718
02:12:07,560 --> 02:12:09,560
Speaker 4: they got one step closer to that yesterday.

2719
02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:12,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2720
02:12:13,040 --> 02:12:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel you, buddy, I feel you. All right,

2721
02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:22,640
Speaker 2: let's go look at tomorrow's acts and a little look ahead.

2722
02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:29,840
Speaker 2: So big one early Arizona Minnesota. So Minnesota has to

2723
02:12:29,920 --> 02:12:35,360
Speaker 2: keep up with Detroit. And it's a really good game, man,

2724
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:41,240
Speaker 2: Arizona Minnesota nine to two, Cardinals, looking after lost last

2725
02:12:41,240 --> 02:12:44,640
Speaker 2: week at Seattle, trying desperately get back to the win

2726
02:12:46,040 --> 02:12:51,000
Speaker 2: to grab a win. Packers win already, Lions went already.

2727
02:12:51,560 --> 02:12:54,040
Speaker 2: Now Minnesota needs to keep pace.

2728
02:12:55,480 --> 02:12:55,800
Speaker 3: I think.

2729
02:12:55,840 --> 02:12:58,800
Speaker 4: Also the most impressive part for Minnesota is that Sam

2730
02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:01,360
Speaker 4: Darnold has gotten right again. Like he went through that

2731
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:03,720
Speaker 4: the yips a few weeks ago where he was throwing

2732
02:13:03,720 --> 02:13:06,120
Speaker 4: picks that didn't make any sense. Over the last couple

2733
02:13:06,160 --> 02:13:08,160
Speaker 4: of games, that's cleaned up. So if you're Minnesota, you

2734
02:13:08,200 --> 02:13:11,080
Speaker 4: feel like, man, you got if you have a streaky quarterback.

2735
02:13:11,120 --> 02:13:12,920
Speaker 4: And I think it's fair to say that at times

2736
02:13:12,960 --> 02:13:15,160
Speaker 4: in his career, Sam Darnold just been a little streaky.

2737
02:13:15,280 --> 02:13:16,880
Speaker 3: If you got a streaky quarterback, you need to get

2738
02:13:16,960 --> 02:13:18,800
Speaker 3: him on the right side. He is right now. So

2739
02:13:19,120 --> 02:13:21,040
Speaker 3: if you're Minnesota, even in a game last.

2740
02:13:20,840 --> 02:13:22,720
Speaker 4: Week where Justin Jefferson wasn't as big a part of

2741
02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:24,800
Speaker 4: the game plan and they're still able to go out

2742
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:27,440
Speaker 4: and get a big win. If you're Arizona, you're coming

2743
02:13:27,440 --> 02:13:30,480
Speaker 4: off of really a damning loss. Like this is an

2744
02:13:30,520 --> 02:13:33,520
Speaker 4: Arizona team that a week ago was like, hey, should.

2745
02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:34,680
Speaker 3: We be giving them more of a look? Are they

2746
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:37,320
Speaker 3: gonna win the West? And then they go out and

2747
02:13:37,360 --> 02:13:40,480
Speaker 3: they just had no offensive identity or rhythm at all

2748
02:13:40,520 --> 02:13:43,720
Speaker 3: against Seattle. So credit to the Seahawks for the big win.

2749
02:13:43,800 --> 02:13:46,280
Speaker 4: But man, if I'm Arizona right now and pucker up

2750
02:13:46,320 --> 02:13:47,840
Speaker 4: like you gotta figure this out, you gotta figure it

2751
02:13:47,840 --> 02:13:49,800
Speaker 4: out quick, because Arizona still has a real shot at

2752
02:13:49,800 --> 02:13:51,040
Speaker 4: win their division.

2753
02:13:50,880 --> 02:13:52,520
Speaker 3: But they lost a lot of the wiggle room that

2754
02:13:52,560 --> 02:13:53,880
Speaker 3: they have with that loss last week.

2755
02:13:54,600 --> 02:13:56,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I didn't.

2756
02:13:57,120 --> 02:14:01,560
Speaker 2: Look, I'm curious because minnesot to let that Bears team

2757
02:14:01,680 --> 02:14:02,720
Speaker 2: come back on them.

2758
02:14:03,400 --> 02:14:04,400
Speaker 5: I was surprised.

2759
02:14:05,400 --> 02:14:07,680
Speaker 2: Like I liked Chicago, I liked Minnesota a lot in

2760
02:14:07,720 --> 02:14:11,080
Speaker 2: that game, and of course they're up, you know, eleven,

2761
02:14:11,680 --> 02:14:14,560
Speaker 2: and it looks for the next thing, you know, they

2762
02:14:14,600 --> 02:14:18,600
Speaker 2: get the touchdown two point conversion, and then they come

2763
02:14:18,680 --> 02:14:21,920
Speaker 2: back on sidekick, get the field goal and send it

2764
02:14:21,960 --> 02:14:22,640
Speaker 2: to overtime.

2765
02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:25,280
Speaker 5: And I was stunned fitcy by.

2766
02:14:25,160 --> 02:14:27,880
Speaker 2: That because I think the best part about Minnesota is

2767
02:14:27,920 --> 02:14:34,520
Speaker 2: its defense, and I was shocked that Chicago came back

2768
02:14:34,640 --> 02:14:37,920
Speaker 2: in that game because I felt Minnesota's defense looked completely legit.

2769
02:14:38,480 --> 02:14:39,000
Speaker 5: I don't know.

2770
02:14:39,360 --> 02:14:43,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I still think Lions clearly number one, but

2771
02:14:43,400 --> 02:14:46,560
Speaker 2: I think green Bay's number two more than than Minnesota.

2772
02:14:47,040 --> 02:14:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was a wild sequence of events though,

2773
02:14:51,560 --> 02:14:53,560
Speaker 4: like the chances of getting the two point conversion then

2774
02:14:53,600 --> 02:14:55,800
Speaker 4: the on side kick, like I think, sort of worst

2775
02:14:55,800 --> 02:14:58,080
Speaker 4: case scenario. Across all that, I will say I thought

2776
02:14:58,120 --> 02:15:00,680
Speaker 4: green Bay was really impressive last night.

2777
02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:01,720
Speaker 2: You know that.

2778
02:15:02,160 --> 02:15:05,400
Speaker 4: Certainly I haven't reached the spot where you know that

2779
02:15:05,520 --> 02:15:08,160
Speaker 4: Teeter totter A is starting to lean towards where I

2780
02:15:08,160 --> 02:15:10,520
Speaker 4: favor Jordan Love more than I favor Sam Darnold in

2781
02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:11,240
Speaker 4: these situations.

2782
02:15:11,800 --> 02:15:15,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, look at me evolving on my.

2783
02:15:15,400 --> 02:15:18,800
Speaker 5: Jordan Love takes you And I used to go at it.

2784
02:15:20,720 --> 02:15:23,120
Speaker 3: Risks sometimes I think I think sometimes he.

2785
02:15:23,120 --> 02:15:25,000
Speaker 4: Puts the ball a little bit to a risk for

2786
02:15:25,080 --> 02:15:28,600
Speaker 4: my comfort for great quarterbacks. But that being said, yeah,

2787
02:15:28,720 --> 02:15:30,840
Speaker 4: I think right now there's I have a little bit

2788
02:15:30,880 --> 02:15:34,000
Speaker 4: more trust. And by the way, Lafleur sneaky, sneaky.

2789
02:15:33,680 --> 02:15:34,040
Speaker 5: Good game.

2790
02:15:34,160 --> 02:15:36,400
Speaker 2: I love Matt Lafour. I think he's a great coach.

2791
02:15:37,440 --> 02:15:39,320
Speaker 2: I love him. I think he's a great coach. I

2792
02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:42,240
Speaker 2: think he really is. I think he's a really really good,

2793
02:15:42,280 --> 02:15:44,320
Speaker 2: strong offensive mind.

2794
02:15:44,400 --> 02:15:45,920
Speaker 5: I think he's a really good coach. I'm a big

2795
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:46,680
Speaker 5: Laflora fan.

2796
02:15:47,400 --> 02:15:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really shown up and shown out in this

2797
02:15:49,640 --> 02:15:50,520
Speaker 3: Green Bay situation.

2798
02:15:52,440 --> 02:15:57,320
Speaker 2: Also tomorrow, you know, a couple of heavyweights four o'clock,

2799
02:15:58,680 --> 02:16:03,240
Speaker 2: the nine to two Eagles against the eight and four Ravens.

2800
02:16:04,080 --> 02:16:07,560
Speaker 5: This has got epic Henry.

2801
02:16:07,680 --> 02:16:14,640
Speaker 2: Versus Barkley, King versus SA Quad and I can't wait

2802
02:16:14,680 --> 02:16:17,600
Speaker 2: for this matchup. Man, this is gonna be incredible.

2803
02:16:18,200 --> 02:16:22,560
Speaker 4: This is too legitimate MVP candidates going up against two

2804
02:16:22,880 --> 02:16:25,360
Speaker 4: you know, the As you mentioned earlier, the Ravens defense

2805
02:16:25,400 --> 02:16:27,480
Speaker 4: has not been good this year, but the Ravens defense

2806
02:16:27,520 --> 02:16:31,000
Speaker 4: particularly has been gettable. Throwing the football, They've actually done

2807
02:16:31,040 --> 02:16:34,959
Speaker 4: pretty well against so I think we have to step

2808
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:37,960
Speaker 4: back here and acknowledge that this is MVP versus strength

2809
02:16:38,080 --> 02:16:41,280
Speaker 4: on both sides, you know, so the ability to run

2810
02:16:41,320 --> 02:16:45,640
Speaker 4: the football. I'm genuinely curious to see if the Ravens

2811
02:16:45,920 --> 02:16:48,160
Speaker 4: will have the patience in play calling that I think

2812
02:16:48,200 --> 02:16:50,160
Speaker 4: it will take to beat Philly. You're gonna have to

2813
02:16:50,160 --> 02:16:52,920
Speaker 4: be willing to just accept two yard runs. You're gonna

2814
02:16:52,920 --> 02:16:55,039
Speaker 4: have to be willing to accept smashing the ball and

2815
02:16:55,080 --> 02:16:57,240
Speaker 4: barely leaning and forward. You're gonna have to be willing

2816
02:16:57,280 --> 02:17:00,680
Speaker 4: to accept wearing Philly down over the course game running

2817
02:17:00,720 --> 02:17:03,840
Speaker 4: the football. I just sometimes I think Top Monken gets

2818
02:17:03,840 --> 02:17:06,840
Speaker 4: a little impatient as a play caller, So I'm interested

2819
02:17:06,879 --> 02:17:09,360
Speaker 4: to see that. And then, frankly, the other side of

2820
02:17:09,400 --> 02:17:12,040
Speaker 4: it is that the Eagles, should they choose to throw

2821
02:17:12,040 --> 02:17:14,880
Speaker 4: the football, should have big opportunities to throw the football.

2822
02:17:14,920 --> 02:17:16,640
Speaker 3: So I think it's.

2823
02:17:16,520 --> 02:17:19,240
Speaker 4: Actually weirdly the two MVB candidates will not be what

2824
02:17:19,280 --> 02:17:21,800
Speaker 4: wins or loses this football game as much as it

2825
02:17:21,840 --> 02:17:24,600
Speaker 4: will be calling the play calling, the ability to get

2826
02:17:24,640 --> 02:17:27,120
Speaker 4: something else out of those offenses that actually plays it.

2827
02:17:27,160 --> 02:17:29,120
Speaker 4: But this is just huge and the Ravens need this.

2828
02:17:29,200 --> 02:17:32,039
Speaker 4: The Ravens season is sort of on the brink of

2829
02:17:32,080 --> 02:17:34,039
Speaker 4: becoming a bit of a disappointment compared to.

2830
02:17:34,040 --> 02:17:36,280
Speaker 3: Where I thought they would be. So I think Baltimore's

2831
02:17:36,320 --> 02:17:37,160
Speaker 3: backs against the wall.

2832
02:17:37,240 --> 02:17:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I think Baltimore is the most talent other

2833
02:17:40,640 --> 02:17:43,720
Speaker 4: than the Philly offensive line is better. And you know,

2834
02:17:43,760 --> 02:17:45,200
Speaker 4: I said this early in the season, I think they

2835
02:17:45,280 --> 02:17:47,880
Speaker 4: might be the toughest offense to stop. And you push

2836
02:17:47,959 --> 02:17:49,560
Speaker 4: back at the time and say, what about Philly. I

2837
02:17:49,560 --> 02:17:52,560
Speaker 4: think that's a fair argument. Philly looks like it now,

2838
02:17:52,720 --> 02:17:56,200
Speaker 4: particularly since they've gotten a little healthier. Baltimore does not

2839
02:17:56,280 --> 02:17:58,880
Speaker 4: look as unstoppable to me, and I think that's a

2840
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:02,400
Speaker 4: little bit on part their defense. But man, they should

2841
02:18:02,400 --> 02:18:05,120
Speaker 4: not be. They should be far closer to Kansas City

2842
02:18:05,160 --> 02:18:06,960
Speaker 4: in the upper echelon for the way they're playing. And

2843
02:18:07,080 --> 02:18:10,039
Speaker 4: right now, I mean, they're competing for a wildcard spot,

2844
02:18:10,080 --> 02:18:13,160
Speaker 4: so they gotta find a way to stack and wins.

2845
02:18:13,640 --> 02:18:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a bit I'm a believer in Baltimore. I

2846
02:18:17,280 --> 02:18:21,400
Speaker 2: am Matt. The matchup is fascinating to me, this whole matchup.

2847
02:18:22,120 --> 02:18:25,959
Speaker 2: I can't wait to say it because the Eagles see

2848
02:18:25,959 --> 02:18:27,600
Speaker 2: if I'm the Eagles, I know I can make plays

2849
02:18:27,640 --> 02:18:32,240
Speaker 2: down the field. I know that Baltimore is susceptible down

2850
02:18:32,280 --> 02:18:35,560
Speaker 2: the field in the secondary, but that's not the Eagles strength.

2851
02:18:36,240 --> 02:18:38,440
Speaker 2: Hurts isn't a guy that you want throwing the ball

2852
02:18:38,520 --> 02:18:39,720
Speaker 2: thirty five times a game.

2853
02:18:40,320 --> 02:18:41,240
Speaker 5: It's not who he is.

2854
02:18:41,560 --> 02:18:44,560
Speaker 2: He will spread it around like Lamar will spread the

2855
02:18:44,600 --> 02:18:46,439
Speaker 2: ball round to eight different receivers.

2856
02:18:47,040 --> 02:18:48,200
Speaker 5: That's not Jalen.

2857
02:18:49,040 --> 02:18:52,640
Speaker 2: Jalen works best when it's run, run, run, run, run.

2858
02:18:53,160 --> 02:18:56,400
Speaker 2: He's taken off, get a little play action at times,

2859
02:18:56,879 --> 02:19:00,280
Speaker 2: or you go down the field to AJ Brown. That's

2860
02:19:00,320 --> 02:19:03,640
Speaker 2: the Eagles offense. Because you're right, it's all about their

2861
02:19:03,680 --> 02:19:08,160
Speaker 2: line play. Their line play is ridiculous. So I don't

2862
02:19:08,160 --> 02:19:10,080
Speaker 2: know that he's the guy that you that's going to

2863
02:19:10,200 --> 02:19:16,480
Speaker 2: exploit the Ravens secondary. Conversely, the Eagles defense is really

2864
02:19:16,520 --> 02:19:19,840
Speaker 2: showing up. I mean they've been stout in the back

2865
02:19:19,959 --> 02:19:24,400
Speaker 2: end that they added Cooper de Jeene the rookie, and

2866
02:19:24,560 --> 02:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Queenyon Mitchell the other rookie, the other at corner.

2867
02:19:27,560 --> 02:19:28,200
Speaker 5: It's been good.

2868
02:19:28,240 --> 02:19:32,400
Speaker 2: Now the lost Brandon Graham, who's their edge, who's really

2869
02:19:32,440 --> 02:19:35,120
Speaker 2: been the been the kind of mister Eagle type of guy.

2870
02:19:36,160 --> 02:19:38,600
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see if they can hold up

2871
02:19:38,600 --> 02:19:43,520
Speaker 2: against the run. So I think that's gonna be I

2872
02:19:43,520 --> 02:19:46,959
Speaker 2: think you're right about you know, you're gonna have to

2873
02:19:46,959 --> 02:19:50,240
Speaker 2: com if you commit to Henry at some point will

2874
02:19:50,240 --> 02:19:52,040
Speaker 2: pay off, but you need to be patient with it.

2875
02:19:53,040 --> 02:19:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2876
02:19:53,520 --> 02:19:56,879
Speaker 4: And look, I think you're right that Jalen isn't the

2877
02:19:56,920 --> 02:19:58,960
Speaker 4: type that's gonna want to throw the ball forty times.

2878
02:19:59,040 --> 02:20:02,720
Speaker 4: I could say, stat line, that's like maddening. Five catches

2879
02:20:02,760 --> 02:20:05,240
Speaker 4: for one hundred and sixty yards for AJ, Like, I

2880
02:20:05,280 --> 02:20:08,080
Speaker 4: don't know that it's polk. I think it's its impact

2881
02:20:08,240 --> 02:20:11,680
Speaker 4: of the opportunities. That's where he's gonna get is to me,

2882
02:20:11,800 --> 02:20:15,440
Speaker 4: is less about less about peppering the secondary and more

2883
02:20:15,480 --> 02:20:18,360
Speaker 4: about just man, you lost AJ twice and he got

2884
02:20:18,360 --> 02:20:19,840
Speaker 4: two sixty yard touchdowns.

2885
02:20:20,800 --> 02:20:22,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I can see it. Yep, yep.

2886

02:22:06,520 --> 02:22:09,760
Speaker 7: five minute sleep and you know, but it was great.

2914
02:22:09,760 --> 02:22:13,560
Speaker 7: I got back. I saw, you know, I watched the

2915
02:22:13,600 --> 02:22:15,480
Speaker 7: overtime of that and it was actually really I don't

2916
02:22:15,480 --> 02:22:17,760
Speaker 7: know if you happen to see it, but yeah, I was.

2917
02:22:17,959 --> 02:22:20,400
Speaker 7: Actually it was actually pretty good. It was pretty good.

2918
02:22:21,160 --> 02:22:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, wild wild night, wild game, and we got a

2919
02:22:25,720 --> 02:22:29,160
Speaker 2: wild Saturday, my brother listen, a big new kickoff right

2920
02:22:29,160 --> 02:22:33,359
Speaker 2: here on Fox. It is the ultimate rivalry. Michigan, Ohio

2921
02:22:33,440 --> 02:22:37,920
Speaker 2: State fifteen and nine. Go, How in the world can

2922
02:22:37,959 --> 02:22:41,080
Speaker 2: a Michigan stay in the game. You are a Michigan man.

2923
02:22:41,760 --> 02:22:43,800
Speaker 2: Do you lay it in nineteen and a half?

2924
02:22:44,600 --> 02:22:48,280
Speaker 7: Yeah? The only side I can look, Anthony, is that fide.

2925
02:22:48,280 --> 02:22:49,880
Speaker 7: The only thing I will say. It's funny, Anthony. Me

2926
02:22:49,920 --> 02:22:53,200
Speaker 7: and you talked about the Chiefs Raiders game the other day,

2927
02:22:53,280 --> 02:22:55,959
Speaker 7: which is not a game I bet, but I when

2928
02:22:56,000 --> 02:22:58,920
Speaker 7: I looked at that game, I said to myself, we

2929
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:01,240
Speaker 7: have a Graaiters team that's seemingly is quit, that has

2930
02:23:01,280 --> 02:23:03,280
Speaker 7: nothing against the chief Scene. That was what twelve and

2931
02:23:03,320 --> 02:23:06,520
Speaker 7: one at the time or whatever, and that was just

2932
02:23:06,640 --> 02:23:09,320
Speaker 7: mocking the Chiefs for beating them last year, like they

2933
02:23:09,440 --> 02:23:11,680
Speaker 7: acted like they won the Super Bowl. And I'm like,

2934
02:23:11,680 --> 02:23:13,840
Speaker 7: you know what, if I was can't say a Chief player,

2935
02:23:13,879 --> 02:23:15,680
Speaker 7: I would really want to not only win that game,

2936
02:23:16,160 --> 02:23:19,520
Speaker 7: but to win that game crushingly, and they were not

2937
02:23:19,600 --> 02:23:21,240
Speaker 7: able to do it. I mean, Hans is probably not

2938
02:23:21,240 --> 02:23:23,240
Speaker 7: that good that's probably the difference between the Chiefs and

2939
02:23:23,280 --> 02:23:27,720
Speaker 7: that Ohio State actually is good. But when I look

2940
02:23:27,760 --> 02:23:30,200
Speaker 7: at this game, I just don't think Michigan is They're

2941
02:23:30,240 --> 02:23:32,720
Speaker 7: going to really struggle to score here, really struggle to

2942
02:23:32,720 --> 02:23:37,480
Speaker 7: score missing their best defensive player on top of it,

2943
02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:39,400
Speaker 7: and I think Ohio State is really going to want

2944
02:23:39,440 --> 02:23:41,160
Speaker 7: to get margin. I think this is going to be

2945
02:23:41,240 --> 02:23:43,640
Speaker 7: like a James Franklin specially when James Franklin also those

2946
02:23:43,640 --> 02:23:45,879
Speaker 7: games against the bad teams, these things to put up

2947
02:23:45,879 --> 02:23:49,360
Speaker 7: the points, only took Ohio State here. I hate to

2948
02:23:49,360 --> 02:23:52,480
Speaker 7: say it. I think it's a fair line, but I

2949
02:23:52,480 --> 02:23:54,440
Speaker 7: think it's a line that when I look at the game,

2950
02:23:54,720 --> 02:23:56,880
Speaker 7: I think Michigan is going to struggle to get double digits,

2951
02:23:56,920 --> 02:23:58,760
Speaker 7: and I think Ohio State will be able to get

2952
02:23:58,920 --> 02:24:01,120
Speaker 7: at least into the upper twenty, if not into the

2953
02:24:01,160 --> 02:24:02,320
Speaker 7: mid to high thirties.

2954
02:24:02,640 --> 02:24:04,879
Speaker 3: Well that's because today it's not the game. It's just

2955
02:24:04,959 --> 02:24:07,879
Speaker 3: a game. The game today is Texas, Texas A and M.

2956
02:24:09,920 --> 02:24:12,480
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think that. I think that's a really good game.

2957
02:24:12,520 --> 02:24:14,200
Speaker 7: I think it's really going to be a close game.

2958
02:24:14,320 --> 02:24:17,039
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be honestly kind of like

2959
02:24:17,320 --> 02:24:20,440
Speaker 7: similar lower lower scoring, not to what we saw. Again,

2960
02:24:20,600 --> 02:24:23,080
Speaker 7: I thought the Georgia Tech Georgia game, I didn't understand

2961
02:24:23,120 --> 02:24:28,080
Speaker 7: that line this game, look to me, Texas the dirty

2962
02:24:28,120 --> 02:24:31,280
Speaker 7: secret on Texas. Everyone wants to talk about this high

2963
02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:34,320
Speaker 7: profile offense with the quarterback play. Well the quarterback play

2964
02:24:34,400 --> 02:24:39,199
Speaker 7: really hasn't been that wonderful. Quite frankly, they struggled on offense.

2965
02:24:39,560 --> 02:24:41,800
Speaker 7: This has not been a team that's done great offensively.

2966
02:24:42,640 --> 02:24:45,960
Speaker 7: Look a and M to me, crushing loss last week

2967
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:49,520
Speaker 7: to Auburn lay crushing. But this is, you know, going

2968
02:24:49,560 --> 02:24:51,120
Speaker 7: to be a huge game for them. And again I

2969
02:24:51,480 --> 02:24:53,920
Speaker 7: just think Texas struggles in a game against a good

2970
02:24:53,920 --> 02:24:56,880
Speaker 7: competition to win by margin. I think Texas probably wins

2971
02:24:56,879 --> 02:24:58,360
Speaker 7: a close game here, but you want to give me

2972
02:24:59,280 --> 02:25:01,800
Speaker 7: over a doeagle you're I think texting them keeps this

2973
02:25:01,840 --> 02:25:03,840
Speaker 7: game really tight, and I think the game goes under

2974
02:25:03,920 --> 02:25:05,240
Speaker 7: the total. I think it's going to be a lower

2975
02:25:05,280 --> 02:25:07,320
Speaker 7: scoring game. I don't think either team gets a thirty year.

2976
02:25:08,560 --> 02:25:11,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right about that. I like that

2977
02:25:11,959 --> 02:25:14,320
Speaker 2: a lot. I think you're right. I like Clemson that

2978
02:25:14,440 --> 02:25:18,160
Speaker 2: I do. I mean, I like South Carolina today.

2979
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:22,560
Speaker 7: I think SOCC is going to win and I bet

2980
02:25:22,560 --> 02:25:24,600
Speaker 7: them getting three. I think it's down at two and

2981
02:25:24,640 --> 02:25:27,800
Speaker 7: a half in most spots. Now I think I'm able

2982
02:25:27,879 --> 02:25:31,840
Speaker 7: to stop their defensive linement. I just I think scoct

2983
02:25:31,840 --> 02:25:36,560
Speaker 7: Phone has a better team. I main fact that. And

2984
02:25:36,959 --> 02:25:38,520
Speaker 7: you want to give me points in a game where

2985
02:25:38,560 --> 02:25:40,280
Speaker 7: I think I have the better that you know, it's interesting.

2986
02:25:40,320 --> 02:25:44,279
Speaker 7: I clese if they win this game, it'll be interesting

2987
02:25:44,240 --> 02:25:46,720
Speaker 7: to see if they get into the college football playoff.

2988
02:25:46,840 --> 02:25:48,480
Speaker 7: And I looked at it. I think I had them

2989
02:25:48,560 --> 02:25:52,320
Speaker 7: between like if they do win, right between twolve and thirteen,

2990
02:25:52,520 --> 02:25:54,560
Speaker 7: and I think it's to be very close if they

2991
02:25:54,560 --> 02:25:57,440
Speaker 7: were able to get in. So obviously they need the

2992
02:25:57,440 --> 02:25:59,520
Speaker 7: game for blood. I just don't only think they're that

2993
02:25:59,600 --> 02:26:03,560
Speaker 7: good again, I bet I bet South Caroline here. I

2994
02:26:03,560 --> 02:26:05,200
Speaker 7: think they have the better team taking points.

2995
02:26:05,600 --> 02:26:07,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting when you say that,

2996
02:26:07,440 --> 02:26:09,560
Speaker 4: looking at the playoffs. Just keep in mind, everybody that

2997
02:26:09,959 --> 02:26:12,400
Speaker 4: you can finish eleven and twelve and get left out

2998
02:26:12,440 --> 02:26:14,400
Speaker 4: depending on what happens with some of these big thieves.

2999
02:26:14,440 --> 02:26:17,600
Speaker 4: So look at my look at Miami for a second,

3000
02:26:17,600 --> 02:26:19,200
Speaker 4: because we're trying to figure out if there's the way

3001
02:26:19,240 --> 02:26:21,160
Speaker 4: Miami loses, because I'm not sure they deserve to be

3002
02:26:21,200 --> 02:26:23,520
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, So give me your thoughts Miami taking

3003
02:26:23,600 --> 02:26:24,360
Speaker 4: on Syracuse.

3004
02:26:25,680 --> 02:26:28,560
Speaker 7: Well, again, it's funny Miami's team to see that. I

3005
02:26:28,680 --> 02:26:31,560
Speaker 7: didn't like wanting to quote unput back on you know

3006
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:35,279
Speaker 7: what I mean by that is, I just they're obviously

3007
02:26:35,360 --> 02:26:39,000
Speaker 7: like their offense has been relatively consistent all year, and

3008
02:26:39,040 --> 02:26:41,920
Speaker 7: they do have a really good offense. But defensively, I

3009
02:26:42,040 --> 02:26:44,959
Speaker 7: just I just don't fuss this team even a little bit.

3010
02:26:45,200 --> 02:26:48,040
Speaker 7: I really don't. I don't think there are any kind

3011
02:26:48,080 --> 02:26:50,480
Speaker 7: of threat in the playoffs. I think they're a little

3012
02:26:50,480 --> 02:26:54,120
Speaker 7: bit of a paper tiger. Definitely loans Syracuse here lean

3013
02:26:54,240 --> 02:26:56,760
Speaker 7: over as well, because I do think Syracuse with befoord

3014
02:26:57,080 --> 02:26:59,920
Speaker 7: will be able to score points against the Miami. The

3015
02:27:00,120 --> 02:27:02,040
Speaker 7: final think is very good in Miami's offense. Associate, you

3016
02:27:02,040 --> 02:27:04,160
Speaker 7: want to say what their team, Their offense has been

3017
02:27:04,200 --> 02:27:06,840
Speaker 7: consistent good all year, so I do trust that they

3018
02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:08,640
Speaker 7: will score their bab the ap points here. I just

3019
02:27:08,680 --> 02:27:11,280
Speaker 7: don't trust the enough to stop Syracuse here like Syracuse

3020
02:27:11,280 --> 02:27:11,959
Speaker 7: giving me eleven.

3021
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:14,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.

3022
02:27:14,080 --> 02:27:18,119
Speaker 2: Anything else today that strikes your fancy that you look

3023
02:27:18,160 --> 02:27:19,920
Speaker 2: at around you might see some value.

3024
02:27:21,560 --> 02:27:23,840
Speaker 7: I think we more or less. I hit like most

3025
02:27:24,160 --> 02:27:28,279
Speaker 7: I do lean Anthony vander Bill's played pretty consistent all year. Anthony,

3026
02:27:28,400 --> 02:27:30,600
Speaker 7: I do think that they can keep that game within

3027
02:27:30,640 --> 02:27:35,840
Speaker 7: eleven against Tennessee USC. I bet plus four in the

3028
02:27:35,879 --> 02:27:40,720
Speaker 7: first half against Notre Dame or plus started to half

3029
02:27:40,720 --> 02:27:43,960
Speaker 7: of the game, Actually that both. I think USC will

3030
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:46,240
Speaker 7: keep that game close. I think that game will I

3031
02:27:46,280 --> 02:27:49,160
Speaker 7: think No Name is clearly the better team, But I

3032
02:27:49,200 --> 02:27:50,760
Speaker 7: think the game I think that line was just a

3033
02:27:50,920 --> 02:27:54,240
Speaker 7: tick too high. I think it was a tick too high.

3034
02:27:54,280 --> 02:27:56,600
Speaker 7: I do think that USC can keep the game within

3035
02:27:56,640 --> 02:28:00,400
Speaker 7: a one score game in Arkansas Missouri again, I think

3036
02:28:00,440 --> 02:28:03,000
Speaker 7: it's a fifty fifty game. You know, I'll take Arkansas

3037
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:04,400
Speaker 7: getting three in the game. I get her to be

3038
02:28:04,440 --> 02:28:05,039
Speaker 7: fifty fifty.

3039
02:28:05,360 --> 02:28:05,879
Speaker 5: I'm with you.

3040
02:28:06,640 --> 02:28:08,400
Speaker 3: What about what about tomorrow's action?

3041
02:28:08,520 --> 02:28:11,640
Speaker 4: Is there a Sunday Is there a Sunday upset bruin

3042
02:28:11,720 --> 02:28:14,040
Speaker 4: somewhere that you love upset?

3043
02:28:14,120 --> 02:28:15,879
Speaker 7: Let me see here, let me look through it. Well,

3044
02:28:15,959 --> 02:28:19,560
Speaker 7: I did bet Pittsburgh getting three against Cincinnati, which I

3045
02:28:19,560 --> 02:28:22,840
Speaker 7: guess will consider can be considered a quote unquote upset. Again,

3046
02:28:22,959 --> 02:28:25,000
Speaker 7: I don't know how this line is aiming over one

3047
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:27,960
Speaker 7: and a half for Cincinnati. I just don't get it.

3048
02:28:28,240 --> 02:28:30,320
Speaker 7: I really don't. They're basically saying, because you don't get

3049
02:28:30,320 --> 02:28:32,720
Speaker 7: three point for home field anymore, you get way closer

3050
02:28:32,760 --> 02:28:34,640
Speaker 7: to one and a half to two. They're saying that

3051
02:28:34,720 --> 02:28:40,320
Speaker 7: today it's legitimately better than Pittsburgh, legitimately better. I just

3052
02:28:40,440 --> 02:28:44,840
Speaker 7: don't think they're legitimately better. I mean, obviously they're not

3053
02:28:44,879 --> 02:28:46,959
Speaker 7: going by the old pill bar Solo's at comment right

3054
02:28:47,040 --> 02:28:48,760
Speaker 7: you are where your record is. They're throwing that out

3055
02:28:48,800 --> 02:28:52,160
Speaker 7: the window completely. I think the teams are closed. Don't

3056
02:28:52,160 --> 02:28:54,920
Speaker 7: get me wrong. I just do not think that Pittsburgh

3057
02:28:54,920 --> 02:28:57,000
Speaker 7: marriage being a three point underdog in a game that

3058
02:28:57,080 --> 02:28:59,280
Speaker 7: I again, I think it's close to all fifty to

3059
02:28:59,280 --> 02:29:01,640
Speaker 7: fifty game. I'll think Pittsburgh getting three. So I guess

3060
02:29:01,680 --> 02:29:05,800
Speaker 7: that would be one. Tennessee against Washington to see line

3061
02:29:05,920 --> 02:29:11,160
Speaker 7: sixth again, the way Washington to be really leaking oil

3062
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:14,040
Speaker 7: down this stretch. I think that's the game Tennessee can win,

3063
02:29:14,080 --> 02:29:17,120
Speaker 7: out right. I don't think they will went out right,

3064
02:29:17,160 --> 02:29:19,680
Speaker 7: but I did bet them. I actually got a bad number.

3065
02:29:19,680 --> 02:29:20,840
Speaker 7: I only took five and a half, but it was

3066
02:29:20,920 --> 02:29:23,640
Speaker 7: up to six. I think that's the game they definitely

3067
02:29:23,640 --> 02:29:25,640
Speaker 7: can win. That's another underdog. I think it's a real,

3068
02:29:25,720 --> 02:29:30,600
Speaker 7: real shot. Those would probably be my two favorite underdog bets.

3069
02:29:31,560 --> 02:29:34,400
Speaker 7: Some other games, I like guys real quick, like Ravens

3070
02:29:34,440 --> 02:29:37,960
Speaker 7: laying two and a half against the Eagles, like the

3071
02:29:38,040 --> 02:29:42,080
Speaker 7: spot here for Baltimore. I think I'm a Philadelphia has

3072
02:29:42,879 --> 02:29:44,800
Speaker 7: been amazing. I think they want eight in a row.

3073
02:29:45,040 --> 02:29:47,279
Speaker 7: But I don't like this matchup the time I discussed

3074
02:29:47,280 --> 02:29:51,160
Speaker 7: the Stanthony previously. When I look at what they like

3075
02:29:51,240 --> 02:29:52,920
Speaker 7: to do, they like to run the ball, and they're

3076
02:29:52,920 --> 02:29:54,520
Speaker 7: facing the team that takes away what they like to

3077
02:29:54,560 --> 02:29:57,400
Speaker 7: do better than any team in the NFL. Now, doesn't mean

3078
02:29:57,440 --> 02:29:59,680
Speaker 7: they're not gonna be able to still have success with

3079
02:29:59,800 --> 02:30:02,280
Speaker 7: bar He's such a great player, but I think he's

3080
02:30:02,320 --> 02:30:04,560
Speaker 7: at least a little bit limited versus the superman he's

3081
02:30:04,600 --> 02:30:07,120
Speaker 7: been against every other team. I've bet a bunch of

3082
02:30:07,160 --> 02:30:09,120
Speaker 7: jail and Hurts props overs I think they're gonna have

3083
02:30:09,120 --> 02:30:11,200
Speaker 7: to pass more, and a bunch of a bunch of

3084
02:30:11,200 --> 02:30:13,720
Speaker 7: bet of Saquon Barkley's thunders running the ball. Don't think

3085
02:30:13,760 --> 02:30:16,119
Speaker 7: Saquan has a typical four hundred and fifty yard game here.

3086
02:30:16,160 --> 02:30:19,039
Speaker 7: I really don't. I like the Ravens. I like the

3087
02:30:19,120 --> 02:30:21,279
Speaker 7: Rams laying two and a half guys against the Saints.

3088
02:30:21,959 --> 02:30:25,040
Speaker 7: I just think I had far better on the offensive

3089
02:30:25,040 --> 02:30:27,440
Speaker 7: side of the ball, laying less the field wal efty team.

3090
02:30:27,480 --> 02:30:30,360
Speaker 7: I just don't think is that good lead two and

3091
02:30:30,440 --> 02:30:33,320
Speaker 7: a half with Indian over the Patriots. Just think that

3092
02:30:33,879 --> 02:30:35,680
Speaker 7: I had a team again less than the field goal

3093
02:30:35,720 --> 02:30:39,720
Speaker 7: here that the mediocre team against a bad Patriots team.

3094
02:30:40,360 --> 02:30:42,760
Speaker 7: And I took Seattle against the Jets basically a round

3095
02:30:42,760 --> 02:30:46,160
Speaker 7: a pick. I just think Seattle has been solid and

3096
02:30:46,160 --> 02:30:47,800
Speaker 7: consistent and the Jets have been anything.

3097
02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:49,880
Speaker 3: But what do you think of?

3098
02:30:49,920 --> 02:30:53,879
Speaker 2: What do you think of tomorrow night? Fascinating game? Bills

3099
02:30:53,920 --> 02:30:57,119
Speaker 2: and Niners? Of course we saw that. Did Niners kind

3100
02:30:57,120 --> 02:31:00,160
Speaker 2: of fall apart against Green Bay?

3101
02:31:01,640 --> 02:31:03,280
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess it's the same.

3102
02:31:03,680 --> 02:31:07,320
Speaker 2: It feels like it's the same path or the same

3103
02:31:07,440 --> 02:31:08,600
Speaker 2: goes down the same road.

3104
02:31:09,200 --> 02:31:10,280
Speaker 5: Where are you at with it? Though?

3105
02:31:11,440 --> 02:31:15,800
Speaker 7: Well, you know, it's it's interesting. I bet on the open.

3106
02:31:17,160 --> 02:31:20,240
Speaker 7: I did bet on the open. Uh, Buffalo min is

3107
02:31:20,240 --> 02:31:22,800
Speaker 7: five and a half, and I was like, you know

3108
02:31:22,840 --> 02:31:25,560
Speaker 7: what again, I call these games free world games. I'm like,

3109
02:31:25,640 --> 02:31:28,080
Speaker 7: if Rock Party doesn't play, this line is going to

3110
02:31:28,160 --> 02:31:30,959
Speaker 7: go through the seven. It does play, it'll still be

3111
02:31:31,200 --> 02:31:34,680
Speaker 7: minimum five and a half, you know for sure, and

3112
02:31:35,040 --> 02:31:36,920
Speaker 7: the line went to seven. I called it right, But

3113
02:31:36,920 --> 02:31:38,720
Speaker 7: now they announced that party is probably in a place,

3114
02:31:38,760 --> 02:31:42,800
Speaker 7: and the line went back down to six, which I understand. No,

3115
02:31:42,959 --> 02:31:45,920
Speaker 7: Nick Bosta though. The only way I can look here

3116
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:48,039
Speaker 7: is Buffalo again. I wish Perty wasn't playing because then

3117
02:31:48,040 --> 02:31:50,440
Speaker 7: it would have been free money to me. But with

3118
02:31:50,560 --> 02:31:53,760
Speaker 7: Purty they obviously have a shot. But I just think

3119
02:31:53,800 --> 02:31:57,160
Speaker 7: this ants to good team is a pretty much da

3120
02:31:57,840 --> 02:32:00,440
Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be hard for them. Not the

3121
02:32:00,480 --> 02:32:03,320
Speaker 7: same team we saw last year. I think Buffalo Apa

3122
02:32:03,320 --> 02:32:05,240
Speaker 7: Bay is the real deal. I think Buffalo does win

3123
02:32:05,320 --> 02:32:06,640
Speaker 7: this game, and I think they do cover it.

3124
02:32:07,240 --> 02:32:09,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I feel the same thing.

3125
02:32:09,680 --> 02:32:11,920
Speaker 2: You just know that Shinahan's going to try to do

3126
02:32:11,959 --> 02:32:13,120
Speaker 2: where you can't keep it close.

3127
02:32:13,280 --> 02:32:16,480
Speaker 7: For sure. They're only their game out of the playoffs,

3128
02:32:16,480 --> 02:32:19,040
Speaker 7: So it's not like I'm sure they're still like listen,

3129
02:32:19,280 --> 02:32:21,320
Speaker 7: I mean they're not. They're not quitting. I'm sure they're like,

3130
02:32:21,760 --> 02:32:23,320
Speaker 7: we just win a game here and we're right back

3131
02:32:23,400 --> 02:32:25,480
Speaker 7: in it, which is true. I just I always say

3132
02:32:25,480 --> 02:32:27,640
Speaker 7: when they say next man up, and in football or

3133
02:32:27,680 --> 02:32:30,200
Speaker 7: any sport, I'm always like, well, can be next game?

3134
02:32:30,320 --> 02:32:32,200
Speaker 7: Up next, man up, but a lot most times and not.

3135
02:32:32,879 --> 02:32:34,600
Speaker 7: You know, it's hard to do that when you lose

3136
02:32:34,680 --> 02:32:37,480
Speaker 7: great players and you're replacing them the players who aren't great.

3137
02:32:37,520 --> 02:32:38,199
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

3138

3153
02:33:32,160 --> 02:33:34,920
Speaker 3: and record a version of this next year. Like every

3154
02:33:34,959 --> 02:33:36,440
Speaker 3: time I do this, I hear this, I think you

3155
02:33:36,520 --> 02:33:36,680
Speaker 3: know what.

3156
02:33:36,959 --> 02:33:39,800
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna write out a big orchestral arrangement and

3157
02:33:39,879 --> 02:33:41,840
Speaker 4: have a big orchestra play behind me and sing it.

3158
02:33:42,000 --> 02:33:43,560
Speaker 3: It feels like a life moment.

3159
02:33:45,520 --> 02:33:47,320
Speaker 4: Might need a record label to get involved, though that's

3160
02:33:47,320 --> 02:33:49,920
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot of money recordless somebody somebody like, look,

3161
02:33:49,959 --> 02:33:52,320
Speaker 4: there's no money in you label for it, Like cause

3162
02:33:52,400 --> 02:33:55,160
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sell any records really, But if somebody

3163
02:33:55,240 --> 02:33:57,240
Speaker 4: wants to go ahead and fund me putting a massive

3164
02:33:57,320 --> 02:33:58,240
Speaker 4: orchestra behind me to.

3165
02:33:58,280 --> 02:33:59,640
Speaker 3: Do my way, I would do that.

3166
02:34:00,240 --> 02:34:01,160
Speaker 5: You would be awesome.

3167
02:34:01,240 --> 02:34:03,280
Speaker 3: Man, give me a big machine. Let's go, let's go big.

3168
02:34:03,680 --> 02:34:04,160
Speaker 5: I like it.

3169
02:34:04,680 --> 02:34:05,200
Speaker 3: I like it.

3170
02:34:05,440 --> 02:34:14,160
Speaker 2: You would be outrageous. That's fantastic. All right, As we

3171
02:34:14,320 --> 02:34:15,400
Speaker 2: get ready to did.

3172
02:34:15,320 --> 02:34:16,720
Speaker 5: You see Andrew Luck?

3173
02:34:17,840 --> 02:34:22,280
Speaker 2: Yes, so Andrew Luck returning to Stanford to become the

3174
02:34:22,520 --> 02:34:28,680
Speaker 2: program's GM. As that now the GM is making a

3175
02:34:28,840 --> 02:34:34,800
Speaker 2: run in the college football and Stanford brings back Andrew Luck.

3176
02:34:35,400 --> 02:34:36,119
Speaker 5: Pretty interesting.

3177
02:34:37,040 --> 02:34:40,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it looks like according to Schefty's report, he's

3178
02:34:40,160 --> 02:34:42,240
Speaker 4: going to be running as a true GM, so he'll

3179
02:34:42,280 --> 02:34:45,720
Speaker 4: be working not only on the coaching staff, but also

3180
02:34:45,920 --> 02:34:49,240
Speaker 4: on uh, you know, the roster and the nil and

3181
02:34:49,320 --> 02:34:51,440
Speaker 4: then he's going to be doing some team president type

3182
02:34:51,480 --> 02:34:54,320
Speaker 4: functions with fundraising. Like this isn't all inclusive, all in

3183
02:34:54,920 --> 02:34:58,000
Speaker 4: Andrew luck finding a full time job essentially that he's

3184
02:34:58,040 --> 02:35:00,520
Speaker 4: going to be committing himself to the like it's a

3185
02:35:00,720 --> 02:35:03,080
Speaker 4: huge lift. But I can't think of a lot of

3186
02:35:03,080 --> 02:35:06,640
Speaker 4: people more you know, associated with Stanford.

3187
02:35:06,320 --> 02:35:07,720
Speaker 3: To do this, So it makes a lot of sense.

3188
02:35:08,200 --> 02:35:11,800
Speaker 5: It does it fits? You know, it really does it fits?

3189
02:35:11,879 --> 02:35:12,080
Speaker 3: Well?

3190
02:35:14,400 --> 02:35:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like it.

3191
02:35:15,760 --> 02:35:16,120
Speaker 7: I like it.

3192
02:35:16,280 --> 02:35:25,560
Speaker 2: Give me what you're most excited about this Weekend's.

3193
02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:25,320
Speaker 4: That stuff because there's so many good games coming over

3194
02:35:25,400 --> 02:35:27,080
Speaker 4: the course of this weekend. But I do think I

3195
02:35:27,160 --> 02:35:29,000
Speaker 4: mean Texas Texas A and M we've talked a lot

3196
02:35:29,040 --> 02:35:32,920
Speaker 4: about is a big game. Obviously, that's exciting. I mentioned

3197
02:35:32,959 --> 02:35:35,760
Speaker 4: earlier you UNLV taking on Nevada this weekend. Not a

3198
02:35:36,320 --> 02:35:38,480
Speaker 4: big rivalry. Well it is a big rivalry, but not

3199
02:35:38,560 --> 02:35:40,640
Speaker 4: a big game for them. But they got to win it,

3200
02:35:40,720 --> 02:35:42,480
Speaker 4: and if they win it, they control their own destiny

3201
02:35:42,560 --> 02:35:43,039
Speaker 4: trying to get to.

3202
02:35:43,040 --> 02:35:46,720
Speaker 3: The college football playoffs. So that's obviously incredible.

3203
02:35:46,800 --> 02:35:49,520
Speaker 4: But look, it's rare that you get a regular season

3204
02:35:49,600 --> 02:35:51,520
Speaker 4: game that you look at it and say, man, this

3205
02:35:51,760 --> 02:35:54,240
Speaker 4: is a true line in the sand. Where are these

3206
02:35:54,320 --> 02:35:59,039
Speaker 4: two teams? And Eagles Ravens tomorrow? Is just it's rare

3207
02:35:59,080 --> 02:36:01,959
Speaker 4: that we get that. It's you know, we got two conferences,

3208
02:36:02,040 --> 02:36:04,480
Speaker 4: two powerhouses going at it. I think it's a real

3209
02:36:04,520 --> 02:36:06,000
Speaker 4: way to see how these two teams.

3210
02:36:05,800 --> 02:36:07,560
Speaker 3: Will shape up for the playoff. That's the best week

3211
02:36:07,640 --> 02:36:08,280
Speaker 3: game of the weekend.

3212
02:36:08,800 --> 02:36:09,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.

3213
02:36:09,320 --> 02:36:13,280
Speaker 2: It's got you know, it's got everything. Man, It's it's

3214
02:36:13,640 --> 02:36:18,280
Speaker 2: it's just too such a I'm curious because you know,

3215
02:36:18,440 --> 02:36:23,040
Speaker 2: I love the Eagles O line. I love the Eagles. Obviously,

3216
02:36:23,080 --> 02:36:26,640
Speaker 2: their run game is is ridiculous and their pass game

3217
02:36:26,760 --> 02:36:32,000
Speaker 2: is is very complementary to it. We'll see about Devonte Smith,

3218
02:36:32,840 --> 02:36:36,040
Speaker 2: but you know, against the Ravens, I you know, who

3219
02:36:36,080 --> 02:36:39,120
Speaker 2: are really good against the run, and Roquan Smith is

3220
02:36:39,240 --> 02:36:43,040
Speaker 2: banged up for Baltimore, I like to see the Eagles

3221
02:36:43,040 --> 02:36:43,800
Speaker 2: stick with the run.

3222
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:46,280
Speaker 5: Like I know that people go, well, let's make it,

3223
02:36:46,400 --> 02:36:48,560
Speaker 5: you know, let's say make it a hurts game.

3224
02:36:49,520 --> 02:36:52,840
Speaker 2: Why making them say I think you could run the

3225
02:36:52,879 --> 02:36:56,800
Speaker 2: ball against anybody like you but you know the Eagles

3226
02:36:56,840 --> 02:37:00,880
Speaker 2: O line and say kwal Barkley, I think that that

3227
02:37:01,080 --> 02:37:03,920
Speaker 2: to me, I'll put it up against any defense out there.

3228
02:37:04,800 --> 02:37:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's to your point.

3229
02:37:07,720 --> 02:37:11,200
Speaker 4: NFL teams when they are as good as the Eagles

3230
02:37:11,240 --> 02:37:14,680
Speaker 4: are are there's a fine line between looking at it

3231
02:37:14,760 --> 02:37:17,400
Speaker 4: and saying, all right, this is a weakness for our opponent,

3232
02:37:17,480 --> 02:37:19,280
Speaker 4: so let's exploit that weakness. Of course you do that,

3233
02:37:19,640 --> 02:37:21,600
Speaker 4: but also you do step in and say, I don't

3234
02:37:21,640 --> 02:37:23,160
Speaker 4: care what the strength of our opponent is.

3235
02:37:23,360 --> 02:37:25,680
Speaker 3: This is who we are. We do what we do.

3236
02:37:26,040 --> 02:37:28,960
Speaker 3: And as fans sometimes I think we sit here and

3237
02:37:29,040 --> 02:37:30,800
Speaker 3: think that, oh man, I'm gonna change the whole game

3238
02:37:30,800 --> 02:37:32,440
Speaker 3: plan because we're taking on this or we're taking on that.

3239
02:37:33,040 --> 02:37:34,039
Speaker 3: That's just not real.

3240
02:37:34,400 --> 02:37:36,960
Speaker 4: I think the honest, real answer here is if you

3241
02:37:37,080 --> 02:37:38,720
Speaker 4: are Baltimore, you got to go out and be the

3242
02:37:38,760 --> 02:37:40,720
Speaker 4: truest version of yourself. If you're the Eagles, you got

3243
02:37:40,840 --> 02:37:42,520
Speaker 4: to go out and be the truest version of themselves.

3244
02:37:42,560 --> 02:37:45,160
Speaker 4: And that's where the real opportunity is. I think to

3245
02:37:45,280 --> 02:37:47,920
Speaker 4: see strength and strength again, I will stress to everybody

3246
02:37:47,959 --> 02:37:50,680
Speaker 4: Baltimore's defense is bad, but Baltimore's run defense is not.

3247
02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:54,520
Speaker 4: So Saquon goes off for one hundred and fifty yards

3248
02:37:54,560 --> 02:37:58,720
Speaker 4: against this version of the Ravens defense. That's significant. And

3249
02:37:58,800 --> 02:38:00,680
Speaker 4: that's also, by the way, I think what the Eagles

3250
02:38:00,720 --> 02:38:02,560
Speaker 4: want in order to win games throughout the course of

3251
02:38:02,600 --> 02:38:04,039
Speaker 4: the rest of the season in the playoffs.

3252
02:38:04,920 --> 02:38:05,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

3253
02:38:05,280 --> 02:38:08,120
Speaker 5: Man, that's where that's who you are and you're and

3254
02:38:08,240 --> 02:38:09,920
Speaker 5: you're Baltimore. You know, same thing.

3255
02:38:10,000 --> 02:38:13,440
Speaker 2: He starts with Canry and Lamar and it should be awesome,

3256
02:38:13,520 --> 02:38:15,480
Speaker 2: should be great stuff. By the way, I want to

3257
02:38:15,520 --> 02:38:19,880
Speaker 2: thank Mighty Mark did a great job. Brianna our producer,
