00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: So it's twenty one nothing Green Bay at half, and

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: you know the Saints have like thirty five yards passing,

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: So I thought, I'm just going to do a fifteen

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: minute pod if the Saints come back and win. Screw

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: what I said. That's the least competitive football game I

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: have watched in the NFL, certainly that I've watched every

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: play of this year. And I'm going to get back

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: to that game in a second. And it has to

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: do with the Packers. But you know, one of the

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: things I'm proudest of. I do a segment every Monday

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: called Colin Wright and Colin is Wrong, and it's one

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: of my higher segments I've ever done. Every week. And

41
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: I do think people appreciate just saying, hey, I whiffed

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: on something. And I've said before that I'm I'm willing

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: to change my mind if I get no information. And

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: I was thinking about watching the Packers tonight about I'll

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: give you an example of something I radically changed my

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: mind on. So I would say, forty years ago, I

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: liked the Olympics far more than the World Cup. And

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: the reason was is at forty and forty five years ago,

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: when I'm you know, fifteen years old, twenty years old,

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: college student, high school student, and as somebody that absolutely

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: loved sports, you didn't get three straight weeks of sports.

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: You didn't have this proliferation of regional networks and local networks.

53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: You know, when I was a kid growing up fifteen

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: years old, you got an NBC Baseball Game of the week.

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: You know, I lived in around Seattle. I couldn't get

56
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Mariner games except on radio. You couldn't watch Mariner games.

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: And I you know, I was a kid from divorce.

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: We didn't have the money to go to Mariner games.

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: It was a two and a half hour drive. I

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: lived on the each in Westport, Washington. So you know,

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: like once every five years, I'd go to a Mariner game.

62
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: So the Olympics, you know, for a sports obsessed fifteen

63
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: and twenty year old, was three straight weeks of sports.

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: It didn't matter that I didn't care about the sports

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: at that point, I'd never skied. It didn't matter. I'd

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: watch the Winter Olympics. I wasn't in track, I didn't care.

67
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: I'd watched the Summer Olympics. It didn't matter. I still

68
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: don't care about Olympic sports, most of them. But it

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: was three straight weeks of sports. And then you have,

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: over the course of the last forty forty five years,

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: this proliferation of cable and again all these networks. I

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: can turn on my television any day of the week

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: and get twenty games. I mean, you can fish around

74
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: on you know, a Tuesday and get you know, during

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: the baseball season, I can watch every baseball team. So

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: the Olympics now today don't feel as special to me

77
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: because I didn't care about the sports and the Olympics

78
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: then or now. But the fact that you got three

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: straight weeks of sports was really unique. Now it's not.

80
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: And so now you could have the Olympics. I'll watch

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: the opening ceremonies, maybe a couple events. I just don't care.

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: But I love the World Cup. Some of that is

83
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I worked at two networks with World Cup and soccer

84
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: analysts and experts, so I'm around more soccer people, and frankly,

85
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, I every four years, you know, it's something new,

86
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: it's something fresh. I mean, how many NBA games, how

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: many football games? Can I watch? The quality of soccer

88
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: is great. I know more about soccer. It doesn't matter

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: if it was the other place or Fox, I'll watch

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: more soccer. A lot of my adult friends have given

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: up baseball and they're more soccer friends fans. On a

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, they'll watch English Premier League, you know, and

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends like that. I've also

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: gone to Europe more in my life, so I'm just more.

95
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm just more into the World Cup than soccer. I've

96
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: totally changed my opinion on that. And this is where

97
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: I get back to the Packers. I always thought not

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: having an owner was a disadvantage to the packers. Is

99
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: that having a stan cronk who can literally as he's

100
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: on the tarmac true story of flying out of the

101
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: country can tell Sean McVay all right, go for it,

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: Go get Matt Stafford. Like you know, it's gonna be expensive.

103
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay for Jared Goff in Detroit and Stafford

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: in LA. Let's go for it. Big advantage. But I'm

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: watching the Packers tonight and think about this. Ten of

106
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: thirty two teams in the NFL, thirty one percent of

107
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: the NFL has five wins or fewer for a couple

108
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: of weeks to go. So the Saints have five and

109
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: they'll lose tonight Carolina. The Jets in Chicago have four,

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: four and eleven. Vegas, Cleveland, Tennessee, Jacksonville, and New England

111
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: are three and twelve, and the Giants are two and thirteen.

112
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: So that's ten of thirty two teams. That was only

113
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: five last year. It's doubled. That is a really really

114
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: large bottom and unwatchable part of the NFL feels very

115
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: much like the NBA. It really does. I mean, thirty

116
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: percent of the NBA or more as unwatchable. And I

117
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: think there are two reasons for that number. One more

118
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: and more because a rule changes and culture. Quarterback just

119
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: means more. I mean, there's only one great quarterback in

120
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's not going to make the playoffs. Joe Burrow,

121
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: cheapest owner in the league, terrible defense, shaky o line,

122
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: and he's still fighting for a playoff spot. They may

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: make it. Statistically very little chance, but they may make it.

124
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: He's the only great quarterback that won't make the playoffs.

125
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: If you have one year in, if you have a

126
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: good rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, Boon Nicks, you're in. Michael Pennix,

127
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: my guess now is going to win the remaining games

128
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: for Atlanta, They'll be in. If you just have a

129
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: competent rookie quarterback, a penex down the stretch, Bick, Jaden Daniels,

130
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: You're Inquarterback's more important than ever. And number two is

131
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: billionaire owners now the poorest owners billionaire and it wasn't

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: like that ten years ago. And billionaire owners are less patient.

133
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: Firing as staff and having to pay forty five million

134
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: dollars is more of a rounding air, and so you

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: have more chaos among coaching staffs and more chaos in

136
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: the coaching community. So between it's more quarterback centric and

137
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: more impulsive owners. You just have more hot messes in

138
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I'm watching tonight. I mean, I'm one

139
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: of these guys that can sit down and watch almost

140
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: any NFL team, Giants, unwatchable, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, Vegas, hard

141
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: to watch Carolina. With Bryce Young, I can watch a

142
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: little Jets, Aaron Rodgers, I'll watch Chicago, I'll watch Saints tonight, unwatchable.

143
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: So it's just interesting. It's something I've really changed my

144
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: mine on is that having an owner I always thought

145
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: was a huge advantage, But I think Green Bay going

146
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: forward having no owner because I now believe because of

147
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: the impulsive nature of billionaires, richer owners less patient, more impulsive.

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: There's only about four to five great owners. I think

149
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: the Hunt family in Kansas City's excellent. Stan Kronkey with

150
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: the Rams is really excellent. You know Robert Kraft. People

151
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: will argue he's frugal but pretty solid owner. But there's

152
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: a lot of average to below average owners right now.

153
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: There's more good quarterbacks and good coaches in the NFL

154
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: than great owners. And I think going forward, you're allowed

155
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: to be much more patient. I mean, you're allowed to

156
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: sit Aaron Rodgers on the bench for three years and grow.

157
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: You couldn't do that if you had an owner. No

158
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: way you could have a first round quarterback and not

159
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: rush him onto the field. The owner would be harping

160
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: every year. There's no way you could have Jordan Love

161
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: sit for three years as Aaron was getting prickly and

162
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: high maintenance and passive aggressive, and owner would have stepped

163
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: in and said, ship him, let's play the kid. Just

164
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: why do you think Green Bay, more than any NFL franchise,

165
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: can keep using this formula, drafting, you know, high end

166
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks first round and not playing him for three years.

167
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: You could not do that. Even with a good owner.

168
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: You couldn't do it. There'd be too much pressure. I mean,

169
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: I think you'd be surprised how often owners listen to

170
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: sports talk and listen to fans. Gms are too busy

171
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: to listen, so are coaches. Players don't really care. Billionaire

172
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: owners who have people under them want to get the

173
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: temperature of fans. In the media, and I mean, there's

174
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: no question that New York media is influenced. Woody Johnson

175
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: influenced by the New York media firing Robert Sala. No,

176
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: everybody was banging on him. And if Woody Johnson's not listening,

177
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: his kids are listening. We've heard stories about Woody Johnson's

178
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: kids having influence. So I think it's a real advantage

179
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: for Green Bay going forward. And I believe strongly in this,

180
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: and I never used to think it is that as

181
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: the wealth and the net worth has gone up ten

182
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: times for owners, you don't have to worry about Brian

183
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: Gouden Kunst, Mark Murphy. Who are they answering to the

184
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: Packers board And it's you know, not a lot of

185
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: power there. So you know, Washington Green Bay, and I

186
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: don't think it's a coincidence that they have been able

187
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: with the last two star quarterbacks to just let him

188
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: sit for three years. No way in the world could

189
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: you do that with an owner, even a good owner.

190
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: So tip of the cat to the Packers. Some more

191
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on college football. There was a lot of angry

192
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: reactions to college football, and I really thought the games

193
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: would be more competitive. But in retrospect, you know, college

194
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: teams struggle on the road, and I think you have

195
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: to realize with certain things like as sports fans, especially

196
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: football fans in America, were sort of spoiled, right, I mean,

197
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: you have the Pacific ten o'clock window, the one o'clock window,

198
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Monday night. It's very formulaic. In the NFL,

199
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: got to have a quarterback to win. You have four

200
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: or five major broadcast teams. You really know what to

201
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: expect when you roll out of bed on a Sunday morning.

202
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: With the NFL, you got your Red Zone early, your

203
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: Big Fox games, CBS games, late Sunday night Football, NBC,

204
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: Monday Night ESPN. You get used to it. And college

205
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: football is a little bit of a barnyard musical. It's

206
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's games starting early, mid late. You never know,

207
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: you turn on a game Saturday at midnight, you'd find

208
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: something on. You know, there's just games everywhere, and it's

209
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: always been a sport that has blowouts. And so I

210
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: guess in retrospect, as this tournament expands to fourteen or

211
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: sixteen teams, you're just gonna get blowouts. That's just the

212
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: way it is. I mean, I'll say this again, go

213
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: back to Nick Saban's heyday, that twelve year run where

214
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: they were really dominant. There were years there weren't three

215
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: teams that could compete with them on a neutral field,

216
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: maybe LSU, Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson if they had good

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: quarterback play maybe, so don't expect the twelfth best team

218
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: and the eleventh, the tenth, and the ninth and the

219
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: eighth going forward to play road games and to compete.

220
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, I'm watching Tennessee get steamrolled and they

221
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: got pros. They don't have Ohio States pros, but they

222
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: got pros. And I think we just have to understand

223
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: that the one similarity between the college football regular season

224
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: and the college football Playoff is these are nineteen and

225
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty year old kids and they are extremely influenced by circumstances.

226
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: And like tonight, the Saints are a bad team in

227
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay, they'd lose at home, They'd lose in Green Bay.

228
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: That's that's not a circumstance. That's a personnel issue, coaching issue.

229
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: But in the NFL, you know, you go on the

230
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: road right now in Vegas, they consider the home field

231
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: advantage to be a point to a point and a half.

232
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Because of improved technology and improve travel, teams just travel

233
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: smarter than they did eight, nine, ten years ago. But

234
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, people are really freaking out about the college

235
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: football Playoff, and I mean it's better than the alternative

236
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: bowl games with empty stands. Going forward with the nil

237
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: with players who don't really want to play in them.

238
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: Some do you know, some six win teams. It means

239
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: a lot to end up in, you know, a bowl game.

240
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: But a lot of these big name schools that are disappointing.

241
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: I mean, just look atf Ohio State wasn't playing in

242
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: the playoff this year. They'd be in like the you know,

243
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: the Citrus Bowl or something. You know, seven eight, ten

244
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: guys on that roster. They're looking to the NFL. Some

245
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: would even play. So you take a deep breath. We're

246
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: a little spoiled by the NFL and the quality generally,

247
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: the time, the structure, the formulaic nature to it. You know,

248
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: it's the margins in college football on any given Saturday,

249
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: there's twenty blowouts. Sometimes when you have good teams square off,

250
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Ohio State and Tennessee those are

251
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: blue bloods. That thing was over in eight minutes. It

252
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: wasn't even competitive generally. In the NFL. You know, Ravens

253
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: face the Steelers, Chiefs face the Texans. You know, you

254
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: kind of feel like both teams have a chance. One

255
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: team may be better. Home field matters a little, but

256
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: you kind of know, you know, if you get two

257
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks and two good coaches. I mean the Jets

258
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: and the Rams. I mean you got Aaron Rodgers Matt Stafford,

259
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: and that was a good football game. The better team

260
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: should have won and did. There's a competitive football game

261
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: for three quarters. They're all pros. So I think the

262
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: college football playoffs is just going to get better and better.

263
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: But we just got to bake it in college teams

264
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: on the road, even talented ones. Things go sideways really fast,

265
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: really fast. The volume
