15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: is the way tire buying should be. Well, here we

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: are on a Tuesday night in December, and we're already

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: at the next to last college football playoff poll that

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: came out tonight. And and look, there's a lot to say,

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Well there is miss is better with Wayne Kiffing gone.

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: There is a lot to say and that for some reason,

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Alabama is now better than Notre Dame. I don't know.

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I guess Alabama's better. We'll put them ahead.

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 2: The wind blow.

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: This is a precursor, I will give you. This is

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: a holiday precursor to what is going to be an

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: absolute firesale tire fire when the final poll comes out

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: and you see teams that wind up getting left out. Okay, Now,

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: obviously the top of the pole unchanged. Ohio State, Indiana

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: one two, Georgia number three, Texas Tech, Oregon is up

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: a bit in Texas A and M drops a couple spots,

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: but still safely in the in the playoff poll. But

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: the big things we see out here, and this is

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: where everything is coming into play. Now, why I say

34
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: get get right. Even though there's not going to be

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: a lot of movement in the top ten, the movement's

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: going to be ten, eleven, twelve, and who gets left out?

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: But understand that you've seen some movement. You have seen conferences.

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Politic great. Apparently the committee loves the politicking of the

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: SEC because now they're going to have five teams in.

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Apparently because for some reason Alabama beats an okay, Auburn team.

41
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: Now let's put them head of Notre Dame, not that

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is great, but did Alabama really deserve to

43
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: get up there? This tells you Alabama is getting in

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: to the college with all play barring barring unexpected craziness.

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: And it's college football, so there is craziness. But barring

46
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: that you have seen it is working for us. The

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: SEC they have politic great, The ACC is not politicking

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: well at all, and you can wind up getting left out.

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: This is the craziness we are getting to with the

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: college football. We talked about it a couple of weeks

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: ago that we started to see a lot of the

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: comments coming out of the committee that leant towards style points.

53
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: And certainly it does not hurt that you're the main

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: mouthpieces are on all the place that hosts it, right,

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: and all the shouting and yelling nets going on of hey,

56
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: you shouldn't penalize because of this. Everybody now doing the

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: stumpy thing. Well, if Texas hadn't played that game, it's

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: like they did, Yeah they did. Like that doesn't magically

59
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: pooped go away? You want to resimulate it in your

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: damn video games?

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 3: Have at it.

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's become a popular thing now because when

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: when Manny Diaz head coach, a duke former sports center

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Pa well Many Diaz talked about how does his team

65
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: deserve to be in the AC title game. Obviously, even

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: if they win, they're not going to the playoff, but

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: you know they deserve to be in the a SEC

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: title game. He goes, well, yeah, look at our losses.

69
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: I'll be with us to a top ten, two top

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: ten teams, a top eight team, a top I'm oh,

71
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: so what you're saying is, hey, we shouldn't be penalized

72
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: because we lost a good teams. No, that's them. You're

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: a good team if you beat good teams, saying what

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: you're telling me is that, hey, we're okay beating the

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: teams at SNAK, but you know we play good. Hey

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: what do you expect you to do against good teams?

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: But the Texas argument just more laughable because you lost

78
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: to Florida. Didn't they just fire their coach because they

79
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: didn't like him. Well, you know when you hear lost

80
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: to Florida, Oh you lost to Florida, Florida, No, Florida's state.

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: The old ball coach and Tim Timo or not walking

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: to Terry Dane and Danny Whirfol and this is not

83
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: a Percy Harvin and this is this is not Chris

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Leak and oh this is different but no, but it's

85
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: an absolute blank show and it's and it's coming at

86
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: you at all sides because you look at the teams

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: are gonna wind up getting left out, and there's gonna

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: be big teams getting left out. And the ACC is

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: at the cusp of this because they're not smart enough

90
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: to understand that, oh, we're fighting for our lives as

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: a conference. The SEC gets it, the Big Ten gets it.

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: You may not like how the Big Ten and the

93
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: SEC go about their business, but I know one thing.

94
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: They are not going to rest unless they get all

95
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: twelve teams into the playoff from their conference the strongest.

96
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Damn right, we want Maryland in at twelve, right, we

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: want to get that. But here's the ACC and it's, oh, yeah, well,

98
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: maybe the tie breakers should be different. You think You

99
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: didn't think that maybe the tie breakers should be highest

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: ranked team. You didn't think that would be a big

101
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: thing to get you thought about all the other conferences,

102
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: think about everything else. You didn't think that, oh, maybe

103
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: highest ranked team should be in because that's our best

104
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: chance of getting a team in the playoffs. You don't

105
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: see how crowded out you're getting. You think you're gonna

106
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: wind up getting teams in all the time when it's

107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: big ten sec Like, I can't look, I can't blame

108
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: those two conferences for doing a better job at politicking

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: and the AEC for going well, you know, I guess

110
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: we should maybe have said something, yeah, no, you know what,

111
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: you're stupid. You're stupid, and there's no no wonder your

112
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: conference is getting run into obscurity by these other comments.

113
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: You could totally see it on a whiteboard though. He

114
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: gets put up there in a corner and it's like, ah,

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: but what are the we don't need to worry about that.

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: What are the odds that's actually gonna happen? Right? I

117
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: love the commentary today though this is good from uh

118
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: you're Achech, the athletic director at Arkansas. I can tell

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: you the debate between Alabama and Notre Dame in the

120
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: past three weeks, strongest debate we've had in the room

121
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: for the past year. Wait wait for it. Notre Dame

122
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: went on the road, had a strong win at Stanford.

123
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: But but I mean, come on, man, this is not

124
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: this is not the NFL where all the teams stink.

125
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, this is called you have good

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: teams at college foot But Alabama went on the road

127
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: in a rivalry game and looked really, really good, especially

128
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: in the first half. Yeah, Auburn stinks too, right there,

129
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: But like to give you something little bit different because

130
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: we told you what a blank show what's going on?

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: And when you see teams like Notre Dame Texas who

132
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: could wind up getting left out and boy leaving out Texas,

133
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: well they lost three top ten teams, well they be

134
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: three top ten teams. Okay, you're gonna get to sixteen teams, right,

135
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: We've talked with this for a long time. This is

136
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna be the last year with twelve. They will find

137
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: a way to get all on the same pages. Say, okay,

138
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: let's let sixteen teams in next year, because they're all stupid.

139
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: This year. They couldn't figure it out. We couldn't figure

140
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: out a way to get to make the money work

141
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: and get to sixteen teams, which is stupid. And now

142
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: you're going, oh, maybe we need to do that now

143
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: because and the main reason is that your pool of

144
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: contenders in the NIL era has gotten bigger because you

145
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: are now talking about teams like Indiana and Texas Tech

146
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: that suddenly aren't it. Well, they have to get in,

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Texas A and M has to get in. These are

148
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: not your normal power teams that you would say, well, yeah,

149
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna get in the playoff. No, you're thinking it's

150
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna be all the heritage teams are all gonna get in.

151
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: But because of the nil era and schools that have

152
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: figured out how to make it happen more than other

153
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: schools have, you have these new and it's not gonna

154
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: be every year. It's not gonna be. These teams aren't

155
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna suddenly become powers every year. But hey, when the

156
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: purse strings open up, you're gonna get that quarterback that's

157
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna get you to an eleven and one record because

158
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: you avoid the three best teams in your conference. Now,

159
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: so that's going to happen. Your contender's pool is getting bigger.

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do as a result, Well,

161
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: we got to make the playoff bigger because the SEC,

162
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: the Big tench we want more schools in the AC

163
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: wants to make sure we get at least one or

164
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: two schools in. So magically in the offseason. Watch magically,

165
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to get to sixteen teams.

166
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: They're just say, oh yeah, we find a way to

167
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: make it all work out. We're gonna get that up

168
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: because this next week, that final pool is gonna be

169
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: a blank show, and there's gonna be teams that want blood.

170
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian might have blood dripping from his mouth if

171
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Texas gets left. Yeah, but this becomes part of the

172
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: Machiavellian plan of it's been to sixteen or bigger all along.

173
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: It's just well, how do we get there? We need

174
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: to have a common villain, and the villain is that

175
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: damn ten through twelve man. Somebody has to be left out. Meanwhile,

176
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: they're sitting there going how big is that pot of money?

177
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: How big is that pot of money? For adding those

178
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: extra games? We can make it bigger, right, we can

179
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: get bigger? Is it bigger? Do we really? We really

180
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: can push this if we leave Notre Dame out right,

181
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: we can really push this if we look. I love

182
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, you love Notre Dame. We all love Notre Dame.

183
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: But do we want Notre Dame to get it over

184
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: one of our teams?

185
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: No?

186
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: I think we need to band together and make sure

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: Notre Dame does. I mean, I love Notre Dame. I

188
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: know you don't, but this is this is survival of

189
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: the fittest. Or wait, wait, even a more radical suggestion.

190
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: We still expand the playoffs like you had, but we

191
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: go back to a non human element. You put in

192
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: your algorithm, you put in your data. Yeah, it keeps

193
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: people from getting that extra trip and run through the

194
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: trough and the lazy river at the hotels and and

195
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: all that they get with their their perks of being

196
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: on the committee, the frequent flyer miles and and extra

197
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: cell phones and all of those things. But maybe maybe

198
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: the computer was the right way to handle this, because

199
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: now now it's lobbying like you're on Capitol Hill, dude,

200
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: not on steroids. Like doesn't even work like it's always

201
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: been there. No one trust computers anymore. No one trust

202
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: computers anymore. Now we we can't trust there's AI. AI

203
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: is gonna wind up doing something crazy and picking teams

204
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: that are four and eight from the playoff. No, we

205
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: can't have that. We've named Max Headroom or.

206
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: Max.

207
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: Now you gotta explained to millennials to Max Headroom now

208
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: you did the impress give me a little bit of

209
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: mad Brewer right there. Yeah, there you go. You got

210
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: to come back in black years ago. But yeah, all

211
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: of this is it's been a made for TV show,

212
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: just like the playoffs themselves. And that's like when we

213
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: talk about it for the NCAA tournament, that's always been

214
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: the case. So the fact that that's suddenly thrust into

215
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: people's faces and the the faux outrage over Lane Kiffin,

216
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: like this was new by the way, Charlie Charlie Weiss

217
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: junior junior, like Barti Crouch junior coming back that got

218
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: them boosted a spot. How do you think Lane Kiffin

219
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: felt about, Hey, hey he's going back. It went up

220
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: after you left. The worry was that it was a

221
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: free fall because you were gone. He doesn't care ulss

222
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: you was gonna pay him the more successful. He said, Hey,

223
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: that's great. I'm glad they moved us up. I feel

224
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't have to do any prep work and I'm

225
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: gonna wind up getting some spoils from this. Do I

226
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: get a bonus if they get to the top five

227
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: based on some other chaos over championship weekend? But but

228
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: all of it as we've watched it through the first

229
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: go round, all the way through, We've had these fun

230
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: narratives about style points.

231
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: Right.

232
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: I read the little blip about Notre Dame in Alabama

233
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: right to show you, uh, because Notre Dame kick the

234
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: crap out of Stanford, which they were supposed to.

235
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 4: Right.

236
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: They did their job just like we were talking about,

237
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: for a tough road win against Well, you know, I mean,

238
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: Andrew luck might have tripped down the sideline, or he

239
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: might have come back to throw a couple pass. It

240
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: just gets really close to the side he does. He

241
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: hasn't yet stepped over the line out of the field

242
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: of play. He's not Mike Tomlin tripped anybody. No, no,

243
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: Bill Cower, which when he tried to full through to

244
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: punch the guy in the Jaguars when he blocked that kick,

245
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: it was a Chris Hudson right there running for a

246
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: touchdown badly wanted to punch the guy. If those things

247
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: ever come up on those guys, it's very interesting. But

248
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: I remember he went to apologize to him after He

249
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: did apologize to him afterward. But all of this is

250
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing. The replay on the sideent Hudson's

251
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: like dancing down the field and a coward just wrecks

252
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: backets and he takes a step forward. Those are the

253
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: two photos that need autograph pictures copies of on my wall.

254
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: Did get when he was flipping off the fans, right,

255
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: that's a famous one and then the Bill Kawer, So

256
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: if I can get those, that would be great on

257
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: the wall of mean, But it's a TV show, So

258
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: now it's politicking and stumping as best you can with

259
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: your loudest voices, because even going to A and M,

260
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: they're not like getting left out. They only have one loss, right,

261
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: But we watched coach get a little weepy, uh you

262
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: know because there were some noise and he and he

263
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: heard people celebrating what a you know what non unprofessional

264
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: environment we have here. But like their schedule sucked and

265
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: nothing was made of that, but everybody went. But but

266
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, because because the other side was all

267
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: the sec honks, we're going after Ohio State for their schedule,

268
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: like tex A and M had a walk in the

269
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: park relatively speaking, Yeah, but because you got louder voices

270
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: and maybe they've more numerous big voices to stump for

271
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: the SEC. Here's the thing. I don't mind the politicking.

272
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't mind the stumping. I don't mind Hey, here's

273
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: our schedule is better than your schedule, because I like that.

274
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: I think that's healthy, and I think that's good debate.

275
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's really good. Now when

276
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: your thumb is on the scale and all of a sudden,

277
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: for no reason, Alabama is vaulted ahead of Notre Dame

278
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that they get in. Okay, that's where

279
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: that's where you got to throw a challenge flag? No, Okay,

280
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: what what's really going on here with this? So I

281
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: kind of I don't mind that part, because you got

282
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: a debate about something right to be able to do that.

283
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: But the whole thing is that when you have a

284
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: sport that has no rules, how do you think this

285
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: is going to be done cleanly? I mean, that's the

286
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: they you thought this College football has zero It is

287
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: the wild West of sports. They have no When you

288
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: have no rules, this is just gonna be done with. Okay,

289
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: and let's see how it turns out. And there's gonna

290
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: be people who are hopping mad next week and people

291
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: who are gonna be happy without it. But it's gonna

292
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: be an absolute mess because good teams are gonna get

293
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: left out. Heritage teams are gonna get left out. And

294
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be like last year where you got lucky,

295
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: where oh Miami should have gotten in. Well, Miami, you

296
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: lost Syracuse Laskin. You lost your third game of the year.

297
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: You had to win to get it that. I have

298
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: no sympathy for you there. I have no sympathy think

299
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: about that losing to Syracuse being a big no. That's true.

300
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: So but that was one game. That was one game.

301
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: This is gonna be way more than that. You know what,

302
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: the old adages, you should have won more games. M Exit,

303
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm out of Fresca. Exit swallowing down The Jason Smith

304
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. We got more

305
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: football on the way. The latest on the well, I

306
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: don't want to say probably this year. This is the

307
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: biggest coaching fail in football we have seen. It's next

308
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,200

329
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: on the Coast to Coast Nick Celtics, which was a

330
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: blowout in the third quarter, Jalen Brunson having his worst

331
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: game as a Nick and I'm I don't think I'm

332
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: under selling that, but it's become an eight point game

333
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: now midway through the fourth quarter. But you know, you

334
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: don't get these games unless you The whole point of

335
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: the NBA on NBC was a double header, right, but

336
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: the whole point of when they had it years ago

337
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: was and today's double header the men of Teal and

338
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: Charlotte visit Michael Jordan and the Bulls. And then later

339
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, the Lakers host the Blazers in

340
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: a big, big matchup. Clyde Drexler, we'll return and this

341
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: one for Portland, right, like that was the whole thing

342
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: was Dell, you gotta get it. Nah, you don't. You

343
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: don't get them now. Well, but here's the thing. You know,

344
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: life kind of changes as you go on. It's it's

345
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: like the complaint that everybody has, like, look, look at

346
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: all it would cost you to watch every game in

347
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's like, you know, once a play all

348
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: the time. You got one or two games and you

349
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: liked it, you loved it. You had Monday night football,

350
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: and then you had what three games on Sunday. Maybe no,

351
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: you're really well no, no, no, I'm talking back. I'm talking

352
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: like when we were kids. Yeah, no, you had you

353
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: had your local game, and then you had the and

354
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: then you had a late game, the national game or

355
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: whatever national game you had, whatever your team was playing.

356
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: But that's what I made. Like so, so that's what

357
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: you got, and you liked it, and you dealt with it,

358
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: and you got your highlights. They fired up the sports

359
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: machine on Sunday night, and you know it was so special.

360
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: Was when like if like I remember, and I was

361
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: lucky because obviously in New York we get Jets and Giants, right,

362
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: so we get so I got more teams. But like

363
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: when that four o'clock game would end, and and and

364
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: and Don Criky whoever it was, would say and not

365
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: hearing it, you know, the final from the Meadowlands, the

366
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: Jets beat you know, Jets beat the Broncos thirty four

367
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. Now let's take you for bonus coonus coverage.

368
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers and the and the and the Oakland

369
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Raiders are tied at forty five late in the fourth quarter,

370
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh at the end of this game, Oh,

371
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: I can't have dinner yet, Graham, I can't have dinner yet.

372
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: There's six minutes to go and it's forty five forty

373
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: five and fouls has the football I can't come to

374
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: dinner yet well that was always so special, and then

375
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: it would get to the bottom of the hour and

376
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: they'd go to the regular schedule program because of network agreements.

377
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: But all of that to say, like, it's like the internet,

378
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: right when everything was free and then people realize, you know,

379
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: we're not making any money, like this click any click

380
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: click click ad thing is like, eh, let's put it

381
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: behind paywalls. O. Folks didn't like that, like, you know,

382
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: the the Tom Petty line that I run from the

383
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: last DJ, Like all the boys upstairs want to see

384
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: how much you'll pay for what you used to get

385
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: for free. Oh yeah, yeah, And that's where we're at

386
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: for the NFL. If you're cool with a couple of

387
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: games a week, you're good. You want more, you pay

388
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: for it like anything else in this world. You want

389
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: extra seat room on your airplane, you go, you want

390
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: to bring an extra bag, you pay. Hey, your local

391
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: game's free as long as you have some kind of

392
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, any kind of okay. But but the rest

393
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I'm gonna put my hand in your

394
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: pocket and I'm gonna pull out a water catch.

395
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

396
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: But look it's the old drug dealer model. Yeah, that

397
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: first taste free, you want more. But that whole thing

398
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: is like, it's so ironic that the whole thing was

399
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: the NBN, NBC, the doublehead. I know that was the

400
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: whole But here's the thing. A lot of folks don't

401
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: remember that. They remember the flashy graphics, the open Marv

402
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: Albert and Steve Snapper, Jones, Bill Walton and Michael Jordan.

403
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: That's what you remember. And then later Tim Duncan and

404
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: the Spurs against the Mavericks and a Western Conference showdown.

405
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: What if the money was movie set cash? What if

406
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: the if the movie was what money was movie set cash? Oh? Okay,

407
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: yeah that would okay, all right, I'm right now, yeah, yeah, yeah,

408
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,000

00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: you yeah and break you mad. You shoot too much, Marty,

411
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: you shoot too much. I mean, it's just it's just this,

412
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: it's just such a bad idea. I mean it's I really,

413
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: it's just such a bad idea. I mean, I want

414
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: to see what the numbers are for Peacock. I mean,

415
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: have they gotten any kind of juice side of this?

416
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 4: Uh?

417
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: In terms of subscription, the thing is I get the

418
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: long haul part. I get that. Okay, people are gonna

419
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: need some time to come to It's like the opening

420
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: of a club. Hey, how come no one's here open end? Well,

421
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: people just got to find out about We got a

422
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: few people the first night, more people the second night

423
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: than the third night. Concet, but you gotta get some

424
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: more to mold. What's not gonna change is not getting

425
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: one of the games and the late game, which is

426
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: a big matchup starting at eleven o'clock on the East Coat.

427
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: You're saying, we're gonna start like we don't care. This

428
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: is the Thunder and the Warriors. Man, this is a

429
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: team that could of challenge the Warriors record for wins

430
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: in a season. Right, they're already on pace to go,

431
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, seventy eight and four, right, and here's the

432
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Warriors and what's gonna happen? And you know we're starting this.

433
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,359

434
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,760

435
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna watch. No, not really care, you're gonna pay it.

436
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: I think people, and I think you overestimate people's desire

437
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: to watch live sports when it's not their team. Hey,

438
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: I'm about convenience. We are about convenience in this country. Now,

461
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: We're only nine weeks away from the Winter Olympics. Yeah,

462
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: getting there, man, I can't wait. I did, really. I

463
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: am so looking forward to the Winter Olympics. I can't.

464
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the Olympics. I love the Summer Olympics,

465
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: but the Winter Olympics are so there's nothing better than

466
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: just sitting around watching these these events that you have

467
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: no idea what they were about. But once every four

468
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: years you're like, yeah, come on, man, I want to

469
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: see that curling play again. I want to see it.

470
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: I want to see that curly playing the mad a

471
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: T shirt about. I want to see that. But we're

472
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna break that all down. I want to. There's no

473
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: question about. All these curlers run liquor stores, and they

474
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: get together once every four years, and they got to

475
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Living in upstate New York, I

476
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: was about a mile and a half away from a

477
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: curling club. We went every couple of weeks. It was

478
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Eh, A lot of beer consumed

479
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: on those curls. A lot of beer, a lot of curls,

480
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 1: and a lot of cursing, definitely a lot of that.

481
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: You knock my bleep bleeping stone out of head and jerk. Meanwhile,

482
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: in college football, the biggest coaching fail has gotten even

483
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: bigger because today Kalani Sataki and TJ in a story

484
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: that mushroomed out of control for Penn State, Sataki deciding

485
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: to stay at BYU. You know, Ke won't see. I'm

486
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: trying to get all the mushroom lines in here. But

487
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: Sataki staying at BYU. We thought a day ago he

488
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: was going to be going to Penn State. Instead he

489
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: is staying there, And now Penn State is back to

490
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: square one? Right, and nothing's better than what was it?

491
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: The the ad, the fake post on social media on

492
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: Sunday that's I have no blankt idea who to hire?

493
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: Right?

494
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: Thought that was a real thing. Now maybe not so much.

495
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: Maybe to be in this day and age, do you

496
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: really doubt any of it? You're doing more research than

497
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: that's clearly fake? No, I don't know. So Penn State

498
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: still has no head coaching plan, nobody in place, and

499
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, ahead of ahead of the big signing rankings,

500
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: their recruiting class is now like one thirtieth three ye

501
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: in the country. It's like, all of a sudden, Penn

502
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: State football has been like, whoa, what the hell happened?

503
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 5: Man?

504
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: This is a this is an epic fail of biblical proportions.

505
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 1: You fire James Franklin, and now you still don't have

506
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: a new guy, and now everybody's decommitted, and your recruiting

507
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: class next year, good luck to the next guy coming in,

508
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: good luck whoever that's gonna be good good good luck

509
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: to good luck to Urban Meyer coming into pennstatee whoever's

510
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna be next year at Penn State. So you look

511
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: back and you go, man, firing James Franklin, And now

512
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: you're hearing the big push of all The best guy

513
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: for the job was James Franklin. The best James Franklin

514
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: should have kept the job. You want to know why

515
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: James Franklin was fired, and I'll tell you this, And

516
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: this is a this is a blanket statement that I

517
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: think fans have to understand who the real power brokers

518
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: are now in college football. Franklin gets fired. This was

519
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: this something that was, oh, hey, we got to have

520
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: somebody come in and make a change right away. We're

521
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: gonna start winning. Once the door was opened in the

522
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: NIL era where you were able to allow rich alumni

523
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: businesses who wanted to spend money to bring in these coaches.

524
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: Once you allowed them in, they have become the people

525
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: who make the decisions for all these college football teams. Right,

526
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: this is the eighty doesn't make these decisions. The general

527
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: manager doesn't make these decisions. The governor gets involved in

528
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: things get messy. But this is when NIL powerful NIL

529
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: backers call and say, hey, man, we just lost to UCLA.

530
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: I just had to watch Rick new Heisel's kid get

531
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: carried off the field. Come on, man, not even new

532
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's got great hair at Jerry new Heidel.

533
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: My goodness, but I do what you get a new

534
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: head coach? Or guess what, my money ain't coming in.

535
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: And that is something that happens all the time. So

536
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: what do you do if you're in college, you're stuck

537
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: because if you don't have the money in then il

538
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: or you're not getting you're not getting the kids to

539
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: come in. So now suddenly it's we don't have the

540
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: coaches and we don't have the kids because they're gonna

541
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: go or they're gonna get the most money. You could say,

542
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: oh my, my heart bleeds burnt Orange with Texas. But

543
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: if Texas isn't giving you money, man, Hey, my heart

544
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: bleeds Ucla powder blue. Hey, I want to go there?

545
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: Uh so you're gonna go wherever. These are the guys

546
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: that make those decisions, So I guarantee you this was Hey,

547
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: guess what we paid and spend a lot of money

548
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: to bring Drew Aller back. We spend a lot of

549
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: money to bring these guys back for a big run here,

550
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: and now we can't even beat Ucla. They fired their

551
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: head coach a week ago, and and and we go

552
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: out and we have this kind of effort. Guess what,

553
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: You're not getting any more of my money unless we

554
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: got a new head coach. What are you gonna do.

555
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: You gotta get rid of the coach. You gotta be

556
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: able to make sure that you okay, I'm good with money.

557
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: These are the real and and again in a sport

558
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: without rules, these are the guys out of the new

559
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: power brokers. It is. It is the rich nil backers

560
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: that are running all these college football port Just wait

561
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: till they get unionized, Wait till they get into it together,

562
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: Wait till they have these meetings with each other like

563
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: like in the in The Godfather, all these mofua movies

564
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: where all the family ment, the heads of the family

565
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: and and the sopranos, they all get together for meetings. Hey,

566
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: someone's coming in from te Neck. We're gonna sit out

567
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: of here. Wait till all the big team powerbrokers get together.

568
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: Who do we want as the coach? Oh, we want

569
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: this guy as the coach. Okay, we'll pay because that's

570
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: how it's working at LSU LU. We want Brian Kelly fired. Great,

571
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: we're fired. We want Lane Giffen. Okay, great, we got

572
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: you got money? Yes, you got our money. Okay. These

573
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: are how the decisions are being well, but that's how

574
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: it's always been done. Right Now it's just more open,

575
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: open book, right, and we get to watch this playoff.

576
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: You've kind of powered them to make these are the work,

577
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: but they were always the folks behind you. Why do

578
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: you guys get fired? Well, we know what the approximate

579
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: buy on is. Now you've got more perfect information. Right,

580
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: It's like the any of these secondary markets and collectibles

581
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: or whatever else, like you know what it's worth almost

582
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: immediately thereafter. Likewise, these biots like, well, here's all the caveats.

583
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: Here's all the extra bonuses Lane Kiffing got. So, I

584
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: mean that theory is certainly there, right. Why coaches get

585
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: to hang around, Well, they're liked by the moneyed people,

586
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: or they fall out of favor, or the money's already

587
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: been secured for whatever the project is, a stadium refurbishment,

588
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: new weight training facilities, a new trap. Whatever the carrot is, well,

589
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: once they're actually consuming said carrots, like the coach doesn't

590
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: matter as much anymore. So you also have a couple

591
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: other things at work. James Franklin just had a hell

592
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: of a run. Didn't win against top teams. A lot

593
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: of guys don't. But if you're a coach, are you

594
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: looking at that going I want in. It's kind of

595
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: like the LSU job like we're talking about yesterday. Like

596
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other stuff that's swirling. Oh, you

597
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: don't have the governor necessarily chiming in like you do

598
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: in Louisiana. But you also have and we've seen a

599
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: lot of this swirling up about Jimmy Sexton, who's the

600
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: agent for all the power coaches. So you have the

601
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: ability to go in and make ridiculous demands on everybody,

602
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: and and they're your clients, right, so you power broker

603
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: this thing, and then what happens, Well, we don't have

604
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: a guy, but you got to get rid of them. Okay,

605
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: and now you look at the absolute mess that Penn

606
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: State football is. Yeah, the betting Hodgs. Right, this was

607
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: as of yesterday. So you had Sataki and Bob Jesney.

608
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: Well they're they're they're kind of off the board. Brian

609
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Table is next, good luck. He was next at seven

610
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: to two, followed by Hypel Brahm, Terry Smith, and Brian Hartline. Yeah,

736
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: and there's been no response back yet. But this, I

737
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: believe this has to be something money or Olympics wise,

738
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: where Serena being on the active list is going to

739
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: be able to benefit somehow from this. And always everybody,

740
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: everybody wins if you've got the name attached, right, that

741
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: surname carries a lot of weight. Yeah, So is this

00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: something where she's gonna come back and play and play

00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: money or Olympics coming to to to La oriented for

746
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,520

00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: the guys that are mid forties and beyond to keep

766
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: carrying the show. But for Venus, yeah, I mean with

767
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: the Olympics and just evens in general. If you get

768
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: the name attached to appearances, meet and greets, you know,

769
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: just being a spokesperson, it's a win for every I

770
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: don't know how that has to work in the legal

771
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: easee to be on the active because you get into

772
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: all the doping rules and whatever else that you have

773
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: to submit forms and samples and everything else. But that's

774
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: where we're at. But that was fun for her to

775
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: come out and say, no, leave me alone. See that's

776
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: why I like guns and Roses. Are you No, we're

777
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: not rital. We're just gonna keep touring for another day again, George,

778
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: there's supposed to be two songs that I didn't see him.

779
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: They've been touring for ten years. We're gonna keep going, man,

780
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: We're like the Dead. Well, they take a month off

781
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: every once in a while. And what happens both Duff

782
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: and Slash show up everywhere. Now we could also and

783
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: maybe this has a better chance of happening, seeing Ronda

784
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: Rousey come back in MMA, as there are reports that

785
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: she is negotiating with a megabout with Katie Taylor for

786
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: next year in Vegas. Let me say this, don't do it.

787
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand the fact that MMA launched my career.

788
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: I was the biggest star in MMA history. I was

789
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: a super nova. Was I really that good? Not really? No?

790
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 2: No?

791
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: No, she was a huge deal her, No, she was

792
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: a big deal. But was she that great?

793
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: No?

794
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: She kind of got exposed at the end. She couldn't

795
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: beat anybody. She went to wrestling. It was okay for

796
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: a while. Now that hasn't worked out. What am I

797
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna do? Now? What am I gonna do? I gotta

798
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: go back to what made me famous. Wow, don't do it.

799
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: I get it, but it's it sounds and and and

800
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: smacks of such desperation. You got pounded pillar to post

801
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: at the end of your career. You couldn't get it done.

802
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna You're gonna go fight. You're gonna get

803
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: back into the ring again. After not being there. Don't

804
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: do it. Don't do it. It's just gonna go badly.

805
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: And and I'm I'm gonna cringe and watch with with

806
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: with my hands over my eyes, but just maybe one

807
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: eye creaked open a little bit, just to can I see, Oh,

808
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: she just got hit really hard. Don't do it. Don't

809
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: do it, Rhnda. But I think it just plays to

810
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: where we're at in combat sports in general. And you

811
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: want to see someone one more time, right, still clamoring

812
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: for Connor McGregor. How many time in the boxing game

813
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: have we waited fifteen years for something to come together.

814
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, they might do that again. It's like,

815
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: what wasn't good the last time? But you know what,

816
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: in the absence of other spectacle, bring me in, which

817
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: is why the Paul Brothers win big. For Ronda Rousey.

818
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: It'll draw a big number because there'll be people that

819
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: will hate watch yeah, and it'll end badly. Just and

820
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: wrestling was not good. Those final MMA bouts were disastrous. Oh,

821
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 1: don't do it, Ronda, don't do it. Coming up next,

822
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: we got a big story out of the NFL. Right here,

823
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: Jason and Mike, you are listening to Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,

824
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, you need one of those big Marv

825
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: Albertiz's going and the Oklahoma City Thunder thanks to shake

826
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: Gil just Alexander. You know when I started Oklahoma City,

827
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: no one even knew where it was on the map.

828
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: Shake kill just Alexander. No one wanted him. The Clippers

829
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: let him go. Now look where he is. I don't

830
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: know any of these players. I'm done, and the Oklahoma

831
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: City Thunder will have a top ten pick, maybe the

832
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: number one pick overall because the Clippers can't get out

833
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: of their own way? So what do we do for

834
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: the voiceover? I mean Tom Hanks has a new play

835
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: that nobody seems to like. Does he get on there

836
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: and show for it? Because he was a Bay Area guy?

837
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: Do you get a hammer? We're ready for Oklahoma City.

838
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: They have a team that is that is sensational news.

839
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: They have a team and Golden Stone. Why Golden State.

840
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: They weren't terrible in the nineties. Oh now they're good. Okay, Well,

841
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 1: we have this game that people tell me is good.

842
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: Enjoy it. That's you gonna get ai A. I'm Marv Albert.

843
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: Do you say stuff like that? Well he might be.

844
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a bunch of actors that have

845
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: sold the rights to their their voices for perpetuity for

846
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: their families to keep drawing checks, like Michael Kane did that.

847
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know which version of Michael Kine. How do

848
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: you don't do the broken voice? What do you uh? Now?

849
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Two head coaches spoke today and in the last twenty

850
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: four hours, both of them probably shouldn't have. Let's deal

851
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: with Mike Tomlin first and foremost things are bad in Pittsburgh.

852
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: How bad are they now? The whispers for Mike Tomlin

853
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: being fired? Are there fans booing him? They booed when

854
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: they played Renegade in the fourth quarter on something. I mean,

855
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: when you're booing during Renegade, you know, Okay, we got

856
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 1: to look in the mirror and we got to clean

857
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: some things up. Mike Tomlin and his time with the

858
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: Steelers has never looked closer to being up than it

859
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: does right now.

860
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 4: Now.

861
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's normally defiant. You know, when someone says something,

862
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: you're on the opposite side of him. He stands in there. Man,

863
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: he's got you are not gonna say bad stuff about me.

864
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: I am the biggest, baddest guy on the block right here.

865
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: I am the man here. You are not gonna say

866
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 1: that about me. Except today when he was asked about

867
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: people booing Foreman calling for his firing. Well, this is

868
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: what Mike Tomlin said.

869
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 3: Man, I share their frustration tonight. Man, we didn't do enough.

870
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 3: That's just the reality of it. I know I'm restless

871
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 3: and frustrated. I was, and so I assume they were

872
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: in the same state we were in. I'm restless and frustrated.

873
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: I was, and so I assume they were in the

874
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 3: same state we were in.

875
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: So again, rustless and frustrated, same state. You know what,

876
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: they weren't in the same state as Aaron Rodgers was in. No, no, no,

877
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: he was in a different state. Yeah, he was in

878
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: a completely different state. He was on the East coast

879
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: and they were on the West coast. Look, Mike Tomlin

880
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: has been a great head coach for a long time.

881
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: He's still a good head coach. He's been in Pittsburgh

882
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: a long time. He has made decisions the last couple

883
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: of years that have held the team back, specifically the

884
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: quarterback decisions. And to give you a little bit of

885
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: a different take on Mike Tomlin, this is at the

886
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: end of the year where I come in and I say, okay,

887
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: we're going to get a big quarterback. Now, I don't

888
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: know why you don't want us to go take a

889
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: big swing at a quarterback. The last couple of years

890
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: you wanted to go bargain basement shopping for Justin Fields

891
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. We are going to

892
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: get a quarterback. If you're not on board with that,

893
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 1: then we can figure something out. Have a great parting

894
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: of the ways press conference. Well, thank you for all

895
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: years of service. But the Steelers need the Steelers need

896
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: to get modern.

897
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 5: Man.

898
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the Steelers are that casino from the cooler,

899
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: where hey, yeah, we made five million dollars last year.

900
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: The casino down the block made fifty billion dollars last year.

901
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 1: Now we're still the old school casino that there employs

902
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: coolers and and it takes you back to old Vegas,

903
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: right like uh a Vegas. That's the Pittsburgh Steelers are

904
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: the the the the casino from the cooler. And Ron

905
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: Livings is coming in and say, hey, we got to

906
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: jazz some things up. We gotta make things happen. Got

907
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: and Alec Bowan, No, no, no, we're old Vegas. We're good.

908
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: We're good. No, you're not good. You're not in the

909
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: modern National Football League. You're not. Who's the Maria Bello

910
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: in this situation. That's Aaron Rodgers. So you have you

911
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: have that. You have the meeting and say listen, this

912
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: is what we're doing. And omar CON's got to come

913
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: and say, listen, we are going to get a quarterback.

914
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna give him a lot of money, and he's

915
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna come in here. And I know you've had to

916
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: manage a lot of egos. I know it hasn't been

917
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: the easiest time here with Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown and

918
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: Le'Veon bell. I get that, and I get you have

919
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of Bill Belichick in you, where Hey,

920
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: I want to kind of win where I can mold

921
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: the players around how I want it. I don't want

922
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: big stars. I want to be able to win with

923
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who go out and play like robots.

924
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, this is what I want to do. But

925
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: if you're not, if you're not up for this, if

926
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: you're up for us moving into a modern era, then

927
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: we will have a press conference the end of the season.

928
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: We will thank you it'll be awesome. You'll have a

929
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: new job in twenty four hours. You'll you'll you'll go

930
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: coach something, Go take the Browns job, because Kevin Stefanski

931
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: might wind up talking his way out of that wherever

932
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. You will have a new job. But

933
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: we are moving on because Mike Tomlin and the Steelers

934
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: can't go on like this. They can't go on in

935
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: an era of football that everybody else has passed them by.

936
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: Even the Browns are running a more modern era of football. Hey,

937
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna start some rookie and get some youtha. I mean,

938
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: the Browns are doing more modern things than the Steelers are.

939
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: The brown I just wish in this grand scheme of things,

940
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was inching George's health to where they had

941
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: a decision to make just to add another layer of

942
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: chaos there in Cleveland, Caause remember that still has shaped

943
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: everything they've done, so it's not in a vacuum. It

944
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: still goes back to we're still paying that guy, right

945
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: and whatever he showed up as a mentor in whatever

946
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: his relationship with Shador is what it is. You look

947
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: at their twenty twenty five active roster for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

948
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: You ready to have some fun? TJ. Watt cap hit

949
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: twenty three point four, Cameron Heyward twenty two point eight,

950
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: Alex heigh Smith eighteen point six, Patrick Queen seventeen point seven.

951
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: You see the theme I'm getting new here is they're

952
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: a worse version of the forty nine ers when the

953
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: Niners were paying all those guys fifteen million dollars a

954
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 1: year low. But you at least still had some guys

955
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: on the offensive side that can be an impact player

956
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: for you. Mike Tomlin doesn't want to play offense, no,

957
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: but but that's he don't want to run the football.

958
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: He'd like to have his defense out there for four

959
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: quarters and when the defense makes a play, we get

960
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: a point, and we hope if they throw an incomplete pass,

961
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: we get a half a point. If a running play

962
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: happens and it's less than three yards, it's a half

963
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: a point. But that's not It goes back to the

964
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: uneasy and look his big One of his biggest critics

965
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: at this point is Ben Roethlisberger, who doesn't care his

966
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: legacy secure. You either love that guy or you don't. Obviously,

967
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: he's got the off field that still sits in the

968
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: background and all of that to say, but you got

969
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: the benefit of his forty five hundred yards a year

970
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: and the fact that the guy could not be tackled right,

971
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: he would not go down. It would extend plays, and

972
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: you brought in the cavalcade of stars, the wide receivers

973
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: until they hit their tipping point. Each guy had a

974
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: little different timeline, but it all ended terribly with the

975
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: exception of hines Ward, who outran bands explosives. Outside of that,

976
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: everybody else had a bad run. Really hines Ward outrunning

977
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, well, he gotta suspend. That's the

978
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: most disbelieving probable. That's right, heines Ward if he stood

979
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: in and blocked that gaping hole. First of all, he's

980
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: out running everybody on the field to get a touchdown,

981
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: and he's also out running all the big holes. To

982
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: day it's blowing into I mean that got come on, man,

983
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: you you already lost me. That he's going to run

984
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: a kickoff back for a touchdown. Really hines Ward. Really

985
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: the thing though, the rest of the Batman loving audience,

986
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: they didn't know who heinz Ward was. He might have

987
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: been an actor, but all I'm trying to say, is

988
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: he lucked into an era where you had a guy

989
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: that when you needed him to score thirty points, it's

990
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: scoring thirty points. Yeah, And this becomes a question of

991
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: how much power he's wielded to decide who the the

992
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: central figure was there versus battling the GMS, versus ownership

993
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: because convincing them as I just read that off, what

994
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: was that thirty six and forty five? Man, that's seventy

995
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 1: six million dollars wrapped up in four defenders. Queen's pretty young,

996
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: heismiths what twenty eight? And then you got thirty six

997
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: and TJ. Watt is now an old thirty one, right,

998
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: So you just go on down the line from there.

999
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers comes in fifth at fourteen million. For those

1000
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: keeping track at home, your next leading guy after that

1001
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: is Friar Mooth. Okay, so that's where your money spent.

1002
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: So that's a whole other power thing. He's signed through

1003
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, so he has trade value. Yeah sure,

1004
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: oh yeah, right, this is this is one there's gonna

1005
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: be multiple teams and if it's in division like maybe

1006
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: you can hold I mean, Jimmy Haslem has shown the

1007
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: propensity to do some dumb things you might be able to.

1008
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: Dolphins will trade for him. Sure, there's teams will know

1009
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: Mike mccaniel's not going anywhere. He's a wizard. I think

1010
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: they would get get one four out of five. I

1011
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: think they. I think they'd be Okay, let's say, hey,

1012
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: well we're gonna we pair him together. That might be

1013
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: the greatest comedy act in football. And it would be like,

1014
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: you don't go past this line on the sideline, and

1015
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't go past that line. If you stay on

1016
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: that side, I stay on this. Two of the most

1017
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: animated coaches that we've ever seen brought together for the

1018
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: first time. So yeah, you have to have that sit

1019
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: down with Mike Tomlin because you got to get into

1020
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: this century of football. Meanwhile, your guy, Ben Johnson, I

1021
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: just have advice for my Guy's are hot dog day baby,

1022
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: I have advice for Ben Jonson, right guy ripping his

1023
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: shirt off in the locker room Sunday. The Bears have

1024
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: the best record in the NFC. They won on Sunday

1025
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: on the strength of their running game. Their defense is

1026
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: getting turnovers all year. The passing game has been alternately

1027
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: good some weeks that hasn't been great, but Caleb Williams

1028
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: always finds a way to make plays at the end

1029
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: of the game when they need to. He was asked

1030
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: about the lack of production from the passing game, and

1031
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson said this on Sunday, everybody's got a role

1032
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: to play to get this pass game cleaned up. We're

1033
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: winning in spite of our passing game, not because of it.

1034
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: None of us are pleased with that right now. Oh

1035
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: wait a minute. Then Tuesday, Ben Johnson realized, oh hang on,

1036
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: we have the best record in the NFC. Why the

1037
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: hell am I apologizing for anything? And he says, quote,

1038
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: I think when I made that comment, it's easy to

1039
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,959
Speaker 1: construe it is I'm not happy with the quarterback. That's

1040
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: not the case whatsoever. Caleb Williams continues to get better

1041
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: each and every week, and I couldn't be more pleased

1042
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: with how he played last week. Now, are there elements

1043
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: of truth to what he said? Per hundred percent? Can

1044
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: you win like this over the long haul if your

1045
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: passing game isn't at a more optimal level? Of course,

1046
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: not right, you need that. But this is where the

1047
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: advice for Ben Johnson be that guy that ripped his

1048
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: shirt off in the locker room. When you get a

1049
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: question about the offense, the passing game not going on,

1050
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: you say, we're nine and three. It's hard to win

1051
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. We ran for five hundred yards today

1052
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: against a really good defense. Next question, right, what do

1053
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: you want from us? What do you want? Don't apologize

1054
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: for wins? I mean, why is he a posy? And

1055
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: this is this is part of Chicago. We got to

1056
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: find stuff to be mad about. We can't just be happy.

1057
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: We had to find set to be mad about. And

1058
00:51:53,800 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: this is where I think I feel attacked you to

1059
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: text right down, that was a personal attack. But I'm

1060
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: working you trying to say city. Yes, you stared me

1061
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: directly through my soul as you said, well, I'm talking

1062
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: to you and and and yeah, there is part of

1063
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 1: that because I do, yeah you do. Okay, Yes, take

1064
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: that personally, have the ipat and I wanted Mike Carmen

1065
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: to take that person You get no more. Uh go cheese.

1066
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: But Harmon brought in goat cheese tonight. That's that's not

1067
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: a euphemism for anything. He did bring in goat cheese. Uh,

1068
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: this is it. This is if you're Ben Johnson. You

1069
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: just simply say yeah, hard to one in the NFL.

1070
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: We're happy. We ran for two hundred and fifty yards.

1071
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: Kyle was great, DeAndre was great. Nine and three, we're

1072
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: pretty happy right now. We're focused on the next game.

1073
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: Don't apologize that's said, don't give it. Don't give oxygen

1074
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: to the fact that why are you put If you

1075
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: were five and six and you were falling out of

1076
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: the playog, yeah, I understand that more. But you're nine

1077
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: and three, man, I mean what your offense knows Callill Williams, Oh,

1078
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: he's got to get it going. The rest of the

1079
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: offense knows, we gotta get it going, right, Well, what

1080
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: are you doing to be that guy that ripped your

1081
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: shirt off? It's it's funny, right, so they're they're already laughing,

1082
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: saying they should make a statue of it. He did

1083
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: that in front of the hot dog stand where they

1084
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: gave away free hot dogs again and if you took

1085
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: your shirt off. I really don't know how that worked

1086
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: with the females in the crowd, but either way, they

1087
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: had their It was ravishing. Rick Rude. I'd like to

1088
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,439
Speaker 1: invite all the husbands watching to turn away women take

1089
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: out your cameras as I'm going to take off my

1090
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: robe and get ready to get in the ring, and

1091
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: then it would show women. Actually not absolute. Yeah, he's

1092
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. But all of that to say,

1093
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: I agree with you, like the honesty has to be

1094
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: pulled back, right, don't feed in, don't get like it's there,

1095
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: and you're I think on some level you're trying to

1096
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: cut off the next ten questions that are come from it,

1097
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: because remember, a lot of that is not going to

1098
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: be just local media. At this point. You got what

1099
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: the folks on the score have long referred to as

1100
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: out of town stupid. You've read the box score, you've

1101
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 1: seen three highlights, you haven't watched these games, you haven't

1102
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: watched any of the flow. And you see, oh, you

1103
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: only pass for one hundred and fifty yards, and you know,

1104
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: here's his completion percentage. Well, it's like when you used

1105
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: to take tests at school. If you only throw the

1106
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: ball eighteen times and you throw four in completions, what's

1107
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: that completion percentage? You're gonna look like it's gonna be

1108
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: pretty poor, isn't it? Kind of like those quizzes like ah,

1109
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: gully got like a seventy percent. I got three wrong

1110
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: out of the ten. Yeah it was ten. It wasn't

1111
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: a thirty question quiz. That's the way this works. So

1112
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: same thing with some of the Caleb Williams numbers. Has

1113
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: he been great? No, And anybody that's watched Possession of Possession,

1114
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 1: you recognize that there's still room to grow, but you're winning.

1115
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: You're winning. And for Ben Johnson, I think some of

1116
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: it is just the no in the wing to yes.

1117
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: I understand we're not there, but you also give oxygen

1118
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: to those that just want to that don't want to

1119
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: like you. I mean, that don't want this to be

1120
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: a real story, and there's certainly plenty of them out there.

1121
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: Exit up about a Fresco exit swalling down The Jason

1122
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: Smith Show with Ma my best friend Mike Harmon. Coming

1123
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: up next, we have to get into what NFL team

1124
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 1: had the worst week this week and it's not even close,

1125
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: and don't say Cleveland that Cleveland did not have the

1126
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: worst week. That's coming up, and we balance that out

1127
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: with a little bit of appreciation moments about for a

1128
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: couple of NFL players. Let's go full service right here. Next.
