00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: of Mike Tomlin, says he should get a college job

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: the head coach in Pittsburgh. So would Mike Tomlin even

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: be interested in the Penn State job? Or is that

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: the wrong crowd for Mike Tomlin?

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:27,960

Speaker 1: We do it live overnight and a lot of you

65
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: have graduated from the overnight shift and you work the

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: dreaded day shift now, but you're still loyal to the show,

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: and I do appreciate the loyalty.

68
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: It does meet a lot. It means I can keep

69
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: doing this, so we thank you for that. But our

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: lead this hour is from Pittsburg, PA.

71
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: The confluence the Alleghany, the Managa Halo, forming the Ohio

72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: River and forming a firestorm. As it is on like

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: don't get calling against Mike Tomlin. Couple of Steeler legends

74
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: have joined the chorus boo boo, and they're saying, Hey,

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: it's time for Mike Tomlin to skid daddle, get out

76
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: of here Tomlin. That would be Ben Roethlisberger. I've heard

77
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: of him, Ben Roethlisberger. Hot take guy, Ben Roethlisberger now

78
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: suggesting that the longtime Steeler.

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Coach and his coach.

80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: He'd been pretty good over the Penn State put over

81
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: there at Penn State.

82
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: Do you see any of this?

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: No, you didn't see this though, all right, well, Roethlisberger

84
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: was joined by his former teammate James Harrison, that badass

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: defensive player James Harrison. They both weighed in on Tomlin's

86
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: future as the speculation machine crisis in the Burg. These

87
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Steelers are struggling to tie their shoes, chew gum and

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: walk at the same time. So will they actually get

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: rid of Tomlin. Will they bring in another coach that

90
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: has always been a tenured professor job in Pittsburgh. They've

91
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: had three coaches they've had we've had more popes. It's

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: it's the Steelers came around when they became good with

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Chuck Nole, Bill Kawer.

94
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: And Mike Tomlin. And that's it.

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: You got to go back to like the nineteen sixties.

96
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: That's a long, long, long, long time obviously. But just

97
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: to prove I'm not making this up.

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: Here is Ben.

99
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger on some podcasts that have seven listeners. Here's Roethlisberger

100
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: commenting that it's slightly time.

101
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: Take a listen.

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: No, it's it's being talked about around here a lot.

103
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: Maybe it's time. Maybe it's a cleanhouse time. Maybe it is.

104
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: Maybe it's time. And I like coach Tomlin. I have

105
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: a lot of respect coach Tomlin. But maybe it's best

106
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: for him too. Maybe a fresh start for him is

107
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: what's best, whether that's in the pros, whether maybe go

108
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: be Penn State's head coach. You know what he would

109
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: do in Penn State. He'd probably go win national championships.

110
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's Roethsberg. He did throw a butt in there, Yeah,

111
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: he said. I but Harrison he played under Tomlin for

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: parts of ten seasons in Pittsburgh. And he also said

113
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: this week he said something has to be done. That's

114
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: James Harrison. Something has to be done, he said, And

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: he added that he doesn't consider Tomlin a great coach.

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Body blow, buddy blow, body blow. Okay, So Roethlisberger is

117
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: stressed that he said that the Steers Obviously, as you

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: heard there, he said they should not fire Tomlin, but

119
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: he said they should reach an agreement, which is.

120
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: Semantics, to end his time in Pittsburgh.

121
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: That is a good jumping off point the question as

122
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: we discussed the question, like would Mike Tomlin even be

123
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: interested in the Penn State job?

124
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: Would he even be interested? So my views on this, I've.

125
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Got shrimp, cocktail, joint bank account, and secret blend, and

126
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

127
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: are going to howl like a manchie, is what we're

128
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: going to do, because that's what you do it now,

129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: you howl like a banchie, you do. First of all,

130
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: would Mike Tomlin be interested in the Penn State job?

131
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: Get out of here? What are you talking about? Absolutely?

132
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Not absolutely now This is Ben Roethlisberger tossing out a

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: left handed compliment like he's hanging out a free gas

134
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: station hot dog somewhere on the side of the interstate. Hey, coach,

135
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: I respect you. Now go take a demotionion to Happy Valley. Okay,

136
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Why would Tomlin, who has

137
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: a lifetime employment, he's never going to be fired. Why

138
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: would Tomlan leave the Penthouse a great job, you don't

139
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: have to worry about being fired.

140
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: They don't do it, and then go coach to junior varsity?

141
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: Why would you want to go to junior varsity Penn

142
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: State in twenty twenty five. It's not the cushy joe

143
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: paw country club it was in the seventies and the

144
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: eighties and all that.

145
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: Penn State in twenty twenty five.

146
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: It's a war zone there. They can't even hire a

147
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: coach right now. I was busting LaVar Arrington's chops yesterday.

148
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: I think he knows who the new coach is going

149
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: to be. He wouldn't tell me. I said, you got

150
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: to tell me the war. He wouldn't tell me. Like,

151
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: come on, all right, tell me, I won't tell you.

152
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: He played, you know, he played over I don't run.

153
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I think he knows. But that aside, it's nil warfare,

154
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: nil warfare, transfer portal mercenaries. You've got boosters fighting with boosters,

155
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: and you've got nil guys that have more demands than

156
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: bride Zilla.

157
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: It's a nightmare. It's an obstacle.

158
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: Course that is littered literally the college football world with

159
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: Kamakazi drones and booby traps.

160
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, if you're an NFL coach, it's your royalty.

161
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: You're flying private, you're eating shrip cocktails at thirty five

162
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: thousand feet in the sky, and you're laughing about those

163
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: college football guys. College football today is like trying to

164
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: navigate a minefield on roller skates.

165
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: Good luck, you know, can be done? Not likely?

166
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: And why would Tomlin who hasn't had a losing season,

167
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: as we want a playoff game in a while, but

168
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: losing what is seventeen freaking years or something like that,

169
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: I think.

170
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: Might be even more than that. But why would he

171
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: sign up for that?

172
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Like Mike Tomlin left the Steelers, he would walk out

173
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh and right into the catmergency. He wouldn't have

174
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: to go to express pros. He would he would just

175
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: get Hey, it's the New York Giants. Hey, Mike, how

176
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: would you like to coach the Giants? Hey it's the Tennessee. Hey,

177
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: hey Mike, tom how would you like to come to Nashville.

178
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: We've got good country music. There's a Johnny Cash museum here.

179
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: How about that Arizona? Hey, you like cactus. Many people

180
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: come here to retire and die. You want to come

181
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: to Arizona?

182
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: Sure? Why not? What the hell?

183
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: Hey?

184
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: How about Atlanta? I believe Tomlin's daughter goes to college

185
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, the Atlanta area, So there you go.

186
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: Take your pick. Take your pick.

187
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Or Tomlin could always pull the Gruden slide on into television.

188
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Put the tools of ignorance on, the makeup, the suit,

189
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: the telestrator, all that, and have a carnival in the

190
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: broadcast booth and just use your Mike tomlinisms.

191
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: And you're on your way.

192
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: But Tomlin at Penn State, please like, that's like giving

193
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: up first class. You're flying across the country and I

194
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: don't really want this first class seat.

195
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: Let me let me get the.

196
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Middle seat in the back, near the near the toilet,

197
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: between two fat people.

198
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: Let me get that. Roethlisberger knows it right, Harrison knows it.

199
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: We all know.

200
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: Every man, woman and child knows it's total nonsense. There

201
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: is a world in the multiverse where Tomlin does end

202
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: up leaving Pittsburgh, not to college.

203
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: This doesn't make sense to me, all right.

204
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: Secondly to TV Land we go where cottage football play

205
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: by playboys, Chris Fowler promised that ABZ and ESPN play

206
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: no part in pulling these strings. They're not the puppeteers

207
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: for the college football playoff committee.

208
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: The question on this one.

209
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: Chris Fowler, longtime loyal minion to that small, fledgling cable

210
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: network out of Bristol, Connecticut. He says they play no

211
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: part in college football selection, of no influence on who's

212
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: in the playoff and who's Where do you.

213
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: File this one? All right?

214
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: So I file this one under fairy tales and bedtime stories,

215
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: right next to the tooth Fairy having dinner with Santa

216
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: Claus and the Easter Bunny. Okay, the refs don't favor superstars, please.

217
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: Like the same concept. I was like, well, there's no makeup.

218
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: I work with a.

219
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: Guy he's in Florida now, but he's retired, but he

220
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: we gotta fight.

221
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: He said, Well, the NBA doesn't do makeup co Oh,

222
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: yes they do. No they don't.

223
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: Why would they do that? No, they do, they do.

224
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: They do the same concept. ESPN is the sugar daddy

225
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: of college football. And if you've ever had a sugar daddy,

226
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: I have not. But the sugar daddy pays the rent,

227
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: They stalk the fridge, they keep the lights on, all

228
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: that stuff. They buy your clothes, and we're supposed to

229
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: believe that they don't have a seat at the table,

230
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: they don't have a voice in the conversation. You would

231
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: have to be the village idiot to buy that that

232
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: that is what's going on here, and without choking on

233
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: the packaging and all that stuff they've got. I did

234
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: some out of math on this. I think it's almost

235
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: eight billion dollars that they're paying out one point three

236
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year. They have they being ABCSPN, they

237
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: have exclusive rights. Plus they run the Southeastern Conference Network,

238
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: the SEC network. So that's not really a relationship. That

239
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: is a full blown corporate partnership. That's a marriage, a

240
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: corporate marriage, if you will, with joint bank accounts in

241
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: the whole thing. You think Alabama magically stumbles in with

242
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: three losses unless there's some kind of I'm not saying

243
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: that's happening, but maybe there's a world where they say, hey,

244
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: we'd like Alabama in there.

245
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: We do very well in the ratings. They've got a

246
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: good national family, Notre Dame.

247
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: They're the Dallas Cowboys, a college football bigger than that

248
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: because there's more Catholics than Cowboys fans. So there you go.

249
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: And they don't get priority seating. They don't say, hey,

250
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: we're paying a lot of money for this. We're paying

251
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: you one point three billion dollars. We know advertisers would

252
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: like the Notre Dame fighting. IRN spare me in this business.

253
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,479
Speaker 1: The rights holders are not independent observers.

254
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: They're not.

255
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: And I know from working in radio stations over the

256
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: years that you got to walk on eggshells. I've gotten

257
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: in trouble for things I've said when I used to

258
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: do local radio, because I would criticize the team we

259
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: had to deal with, and people would you can't do that?

260
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: Why not as a well, you can't do it.

261
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: Because some executive has a stick up as tuck us

262
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: and he gets a fan, but who cares?

263
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: You can't do it.

264
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: They're a partner and all that, and so everyone plays

265
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: nice to protect the product and the payout, and you

266
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: get a lot of watered down commentary. And just like

267
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: team makes seven errors in a baseball game, you say, well,

268
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: they're not very good on defense.

269
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: But you shouldn't phrase it that way. You shouldn't say

270
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: they're not that good on defense. You should say they're

271
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: they're working on it, they're working on it. Well, they're

272
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 2: not really working on it. They're they're bad.

273
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: But no, you shouldn't say that because we're you're a

274
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: rights holder, and they might upset some Joe blow.

275
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: In the front office.

276
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: Okay, it's an open secret in sports media. When you

277
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: own the toy, you help decide who gets to play

278
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: with the toy.

279
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it. And you sure no influence. And I'm

280
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: the King of England, by the way, and I want.

281
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: You to bow down to me legally blind Christopher there

282
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: in England, the ex pat who's now living in England.

283
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: All right, final fault.

284
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: So we now go to victory lap lane. Where is

285
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: victory lap lane? You ask, well, that would be the

286
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: NFL social media world. Well, that's just social media.

287
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: I get.

288
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm on the email list for the NFL so they

289
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: send me a lot of his emails, and they sent

290
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: me the one that was.

291
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: Taking a bow. I saw this or not.

292
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: The Cowboys victory over the Chiefs back on Thanksgiving average

293
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: fifty seven point two million viewers on CBS, making it

294
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: the most watched regular season game in NFL history. The

295
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: question is, what do these massive, massive ratings which were

296
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: sent out by some intern at the NFL say about

297
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: the power of the National Football League on television. So

298
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: this was a viewing smorgas morgue on Thanksgiving. And it's

299
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: not because the football was phenomenon.

300
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: It's not that it was fine. It was all right,

301
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: But this.

302
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Was more like reheated turkey day leftovers. We shouldn't eat

303
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: leftovers the day of Thanksgiving. You should wait a day

304
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: at least you have them in the fridge. They taste

305
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: better in the fridge.

306
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: But I want leftovers right Well, we just served the

307
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: meal an hour ago. What are you doing? I just

308
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: like the leftovers.

309
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: But a couple think about These are a couple of

310
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: non playoff teams. The Chiefs and the Cowboys are not

311
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: playoff teams at this point. But here's the truth. The

312
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: story that people don't want to talk about at least

313
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

314
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: I think it's all about football. The NFL is no

315
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: longer really, Ay, Okay, they're not. It's a content machine,

316
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: is what it is. It's an empire. It's not about.

317
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Wins and losses, wins and losses, wins and blankety blank losses.

318
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: A late great Tony Phillips, that's a baseball player, told

319
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: me when he's very angry with me, probably high on cocaine.

320
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: It's storylines. It's storylines over stats. It's sizzle over steak.

321
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: It's the soap opera.

322
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: Over the scoreboard. That's what it is.

323
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: You had that secret blend of eleven herbs and spices.

324
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: You got Travis Kelcey's America's first Man, Taylor Swift's beefcake

325
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: mahomes Mahomie, the modern day Tom Brady Football Royalty. You

326
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: got Jerry Jones, the carnival barker of America's team.

327
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: It hit every note.

328
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: It was finger licking good, every demo, It checked every box,

329
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: every family, living room.

330
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: And Fox also they got if.

331
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: We got forty seven million people to watch the Lions

332
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: and the Packers, and the.

333
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: Reason why, let me tell you what I think. You

334
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: know this because you live your own life and you're

335
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: not dumb.

336
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: The reason why is because nothing distracts from dry turkey,

337
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: lumpy mashed potatoes, biscuits that have the density of cinder blocks,

338
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: or worse, your in laws asking very intrusive personal questions

339
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: quite like NFL football. All right, The ratings tell you

340
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: one thing, and one thing only if the NFL builds it.

341
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: The American sports fan doesn't just come.

342
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: They stampede like a herd of caffeinated buffalo and they

343
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: run in.

344
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: They run in to celebrate and be part of it.

345
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: And I would argue that the total viewership this crossover, obviously,

346
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: but the about one hundred million, ninety nine million viewers

347
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: combined on the and CBS game. They went over one

348
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: hundred with the late game on Thanksgiving Night. There but

349
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: man alife, Man alive. Man, It's it's it's quite the deal,

350
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: And so Waving left. Everyone else watches stuff on demand,

Speaker 1: one of the all time great teams in NBA history

600
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: based on the statistical data from the beginning of the season. Now,

601
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: the season, as you know, does not really begin for

602
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: most people until Christmas, and really now they've even pushed

603
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: that back back further. But if you look at your

604
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: NBA standings and you look at the Oklahoma City Thunder,

605
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: they they're like Secretariat at this point in the in

606
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: the Western counter twenty one and one, they've won thirteen

607
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: straight games and they have they've absolutely kicked out, but

608
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: yet they would only have like a five game lead over.

609
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: The Lakers and the markets. Yeah. Yeah, but they're yeah, they.

610
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: And the problem is they're not very interesting. They're good,

611
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: they're not interesting. They're not good for talk radio because

612
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: they're lo. It's like a traveling AAU team. They all,

613
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, they do that hockey thing where they do

614
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: the postgame interview.

615
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: They all like stand behind you know, that's their thing.

616
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: It's pretty corny. It's a corny team. But that's fine.

617
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: They're good.

618
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 9: My main question was, do you do you think that

619
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 9: they could possibly beat the seventy three and nine those

620
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 9: day Warriors.

621
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: Well, I think they would beat them because all those

622
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: guys are old now, So yes, they would.

623
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 9: Beat like when the Warriors and team like seventy three
