1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,559 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Tuesday, Dan and The 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Dan's Stan Patrick Show will dive a little deeper into 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: the college football rankings, the playoffs, and the game's coming 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: up this weekend. Trevor Lawrence will join us on the 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: program tomorrow, and we hope to hear from coach Saban 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: on Thursday. Last night game of the year so far 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: in the NFL back and forth we went and the 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: heroic re emergence of Lamar Jackson from the locker room 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: with two minutes to go fourth and five. What I 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: don't understand is when you're facing Lamar Jackson, how does 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: he make me nervous? Like? Why is he so dangerous? 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: And how can I take some of that away? Cleveland 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: Browns they blitz him on the fourth and five, and 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: my thought was at the time, Okay, if I blitz 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: him up the middle, I gotta at least make sure 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: I have outside contain. I just can't let him go. 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: I don't want him go into his right if I 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: can help that. Because he's not a great passer, I'm 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: gonna make it even tougher going to his left. So 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: the Brown's Blitz, he goes to his right, finds Hollywood Brown, 22 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: and then he scores the touchdown. There. With these types 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: of players, you gotta at least make sure that you 24 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: have outside containment because that's where they're going to kill you. 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: If I have him run up the middle, Okay, I 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: can collapse on him. I can get some help here. 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: But watching that last night, they went in. They went 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: all in for Lamar Jackson, and Lamar Jackson made them pay. 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: Made a great play. But I still have to fault 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: these defenses sometimes when it comes to these running quarterbacks. 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: I never want a running quarterback running to his right. 32 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: That's his strength. They feel more comfortable rolling to their right, 33 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: running to their right, throwing to their right. I have 34 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: to take that away. I have to force you to 35 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: do something that you may not want to do and 36 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: make the degree of difficult even higher. Cleveland played well 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: last night. You know Cleveland, you know, you know moral 38 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: victories we talk about that. That's one of those victories 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: where it's a loss, it doesn't feel as bad because 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: Baltimore can be still a very good team and a 41 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: tough out in the playoffs if they make it. What 42 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: I saw what Cleveland was Baker Mayfield wasn't forcing. He's 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: got two good running backs. The defense was very suspect, 44 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, allowing Baltimore to run whenever they wanted to. 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: It didn't matter who was running. That is a concern. 46 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: But if I'm Cleveland, I walk away going. All right, 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: let's really pay attention here because Sunday night we have 48 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: the Giants and we are three and a half point favorites. 49 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: Not that they care about that. They're expected to beat 50 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: the Giants team. And I don't know if Daniel Jones 51 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: is going to be starting, but that would be what 52 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: I have to be really cognizant. Now, you gotta let's 53 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: put that game to the side and then let's start 54 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: to focus on the Giants. Yes, Paul, you know, going 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: back to Sunday, I think as Troy Aikman was calling 56 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: the game with Jalen Hurts and he said, the toughest 57 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: part for defenders were running quarterbacks is when they roll right. 58 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: When do the linebackers in the flat or the defensive 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: backs in the flat commit to going up and making 60 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: the tackle or stay in their position. Because once that 61 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: like outside linebacker runs up to tackle him, that flats open. 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: Another person has to cover it and it has to 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: happen instantaneously because he gave a list Aikman, there's guys 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: like Rodgers. They want the guy to come up, so 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: that opens someone up. Jalen Hurts would roll right, Lamar 66 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: would roll right and get a defensive back to break 67 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: coverage and come up. That means somebody's open. Yeah, I 68 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: just don't want to let him go to where he 69 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: wants to go. And he wants to go right. Well, 70 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: you're right handed quarterback. You want to roll right. And 71 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: you saw that last night and that obviously is was 72 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: an issue there. But give credit. That was a wonderful 73 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: performance there by Lamar Jackson. You know, heroic performance all right. 74 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: H seven three D P Show Email address DP at 75 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at TPS show. Get 76 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: a couple of phone calls in here. By the way, 77 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: the Browns are still in the lead for the wild 78 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: card nine and four. Browns faced the Giants Cleveland at 79 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: three and a half point favorite. Next week, the Browns 80 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: will play the Jets, the worst team in football, and 81 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: they'll be heavily favored. Final week of the season, Brown's 82 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: face a Steelers team that might be resting its starters. 83 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh may have already clinched the AFC North, but they 84 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: may have also lost home field advantage to Kansas City, 85 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: in which case the Steelers would have nothing to play for. 86 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: McLevin the poll question, what do you have for me? 87 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: Who would you not want seeing the playoffs? Seventy three 88 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: percent say the Ravens over the Browns. Okay, yeah, the 89 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: Ravens would make me nervous because I mean, I'm still 90 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: looking at Cleveland and I don't you know, They're not 91 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: a finished product by any stretch of the imagination. But 92 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: what I see is, and it comes down to Baker 93 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: Mayfield a lot of this does. If he plays the 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: way he did last night, I can take that and 95 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: then do my best on defense and then you know, 96 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: maybe you pull off a surprise here. But you know 97 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: what we've seen with some of these teams. You know, 98 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: the Titans last year ran the football, They got a 99 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: couple plays out of Tannehill, and the defense was able 100 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: to stay off the field and stay fresh. If you 101 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: can have that kind of game plan, then you can 102 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: beat Kansas City. Because that's what it's going to take. 103 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: There's only a couple of teams in the AFC. It 104 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: feels like, I mean, it's Kansas City, and then you 105 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: go down there's nobody in the second spot, and then 106 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: it's probably Buffalo in there. And then maybe you would 107 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: put the Colts in there, or you put the Titans 108 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: in there. Maybe you still believe in the Steelers, you know, 109 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: do the Ravens get in there? It's Kansas City? And 110 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: that's why the game plan if you're looking at this 111 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 1: is how can we beat Kansas City? How many teams 112 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: can beat Kansas City is really what it comes down to. 113 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: What did the Raiders do that somebody else can do? 114 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: And that's what would be the biggest question I would 115 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: have as I get ready for the postseason and maybe 116 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: that showdown with Kansas City. Yes, McLevin, I got I say. 117 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm loving the xs and os. You're talking containing polycraft flat. 118 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: You got to set the edge next. This is an 119 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: amazing trend. You gotta set the edge. Gotta set the 120 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: edge by the way top off of something right now, 121 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: maybe they pop off the muffin PAC twelve title game 122 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: has changed. USC is still there, but no longer Washington. 123 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: It's going to be the Oregon Ducks who move in there. 124 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if it matters with USC if they 125 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: win the game, but six and Ozero, I don't know 126 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: if that matters. I think if USC had a history 127 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: of the last ten years being in the conversation for 128 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: the Final four, I think the committee would look at 129 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: USC completely different because right now I think they're fifteen 130 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: and you go, oh, it's a nice story. But if 131 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: you said USC has been competing or they'd been in 132 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: a final four a couple of them, then I think 133 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: the committee would probably look at them and go, you know, 134 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: they're they're probably pretty good. Because it's the site test, 135 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: that's what's happening, and this is what Ohio sate knew 136 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 1: it was up against the site test. Are we able 137 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: to impress you? And they have it? And really I 138 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: think the playoff comes down to this. Those who get in. 139 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: We know Alabama big favorite against Florida. They win, obviously 140 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: they're in Clemson and Notre Dame. My college football source 141 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: told me this morning. If Clemson loses, he thinks Clemson 142 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: is out of the final four, then it would be 143 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Ohio, State of Ohio State beats Northwestern, and 144 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: then he thinks Texas, A and M would get in 145 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: to the final four. So Clemson losing twice to Notre Dame, 146 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: he thinks would drop them out. But Ohio State has 147 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: to win against Northwestern Alabama against Florida. It feels like 148 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: there's going to be something that I hope there's something 149 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: that happens this weekend, like I would hate for it 150 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: just be. And those are the four teams. Those are 151 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: the four teams. And once again we'll find out tonight 152 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: that those are still the four teams. There. Let me 153 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: see a couple more phone calls in here, Ron and 154 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: Ohio Hi, Ron, thanks for holding. What do you have 155 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: for me today? Hey Dan, I'm a big proponent of 156 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: listening to you. With the college football playoff. Other people 157 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: have said, like I have the top six, but mine 158 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: has a twist. The top two get to buy six 159 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: at three, five at four. But with my scenario, you 160 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: add a fifteen from the Power five and then that 161 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: sixth slot always goes to a team outside the Power five. 162 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: So you get six teams in five from the Power 163 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: five one through five, and at sixteen gets to jump 164 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: in from outside. I would go for that over the 165 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: eight and e gates too many if you look at 166 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: the since twenty fourteen, two of the three games have 167 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: been beat downs. So I don't I just don't know 168 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: if there's enough quality teams when you have two of 169 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: the three already have been beat downs. Only one year 170 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: where there's one game was a was a bad game. 171 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: So that's my scenario. Top six, everybody gets rewarded. You 172 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: add a fifteen from the Power five that's one to five, 173 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: and then you get that sixteen in every year they're 174 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: playing for that sixth slot. Thanks for the phone call. 175 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: Run Yeah, but you know who's to say, hey, we're 176 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: going to take a team outside the Power five. What 177 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: if you have a two lost Georgia team, then you go, well, 178 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: they're probably better than Cincinnati. I know we can come 179 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: up with different scenarios. I mean, we're smart enough sports 180 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: society that we could come up with something. I don't 181 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: know if it's always going to be equitable, it's going 182 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: to be fairer. Hey the Power five gets in. Hey, 183 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: if i'm the SEC, I want to get in as 184 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: many teams as possible. Like why am I going, Hey, 185 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: let's let everybody else get a representation here? No, I don't. 186 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean I want you to earn it. That's all 187 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: just but there's no system that you're going to be 188 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: able to earn it. Grover in New Orleans, Hey Grover, 189 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? How you doing? Fan? I was 190 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: just wondering what you think is it? Do you think 191 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: there could be a financial angle? And it almost feels 192 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: like it's like a monopoleague when it comes to a 193 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: college football playoffs? Yeah, is it going to take like 194 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: a eagle like it's almost taking money out of pock 195 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: It's like an equal opportunity thing. Do you think that 196 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: eventually might be an angle illegal angle from from that perspective, 197 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't know if you could 198 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: sue the you know committee is I mean, it's it's 199 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: this is subjective. I mean they can do data points 200 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: and they can do analytics with all of these things. 201 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: But I don't know if you could go in there 202 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: and say, hey, you're not being fair. Good luck proving 203 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: that that you're not being fair. I don't know if 204 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: we ever get to a point where we go, hey, 205 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: eight teams are going to make the playoffs, I would 206 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: think we would because of the amount of money, and 207 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: if you could spread those games around and maybe have 208 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: a couple of Bowl games there and then you know, 209 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: the elimination process begins, and then you lead up to 210 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the National title game. Then great, But I think you 211 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: have the haves and the have nots, and I think 212 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: there's a wider disparity there than there's ever been and 213 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: it's going to continue to be that way. And if 214 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: you don't believe me, listen to what urban Meyer had 215 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: to say recently about it. He said, it's only going 216 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: to get worse. That you're going to have the haves 217 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: and the have nots, plain and simple. And maybe you 218 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: don't care about it, We certainly care with March madness, right, 219 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: we do. Because if I said, hey, there's only gonna 220 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: be four schools, only four schools and they passed the 221 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: site test, you know, Kansas gonna be in there, Duke's 222 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: gonna be in there, Michigan State, and Kentucky. You'd be 223 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: up in arms. You'd like, come on, you got to 224 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: give it the underdog. Come on you wait a minute. 225 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: We just put on the four best schools, right, that's 226 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: what we do with college football. Those are the four 227 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: best teams. Okay, how do we know they just are? 228 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: Trust me? I mean, when Notre Dame played Clemson a 229 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: couple of years ago got blown out. I didn't think 230 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: Notre Dame was one of the top four teams. They 231 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: gotta put them in there, one of the the top four tea. 232 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if they are not this year. I 233 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: feel like Notre name is, but I didn't back then. 234 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: So it's subjective and we don't like that where what 235 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: we think, what we see, what we feel is different 236 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: than what you feel. What you think, what you see, 237 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: and then you make that decision. Let me see what 238 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: else do we have here? Jesse in La Hi, Jess, 239 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: welcome back. What do you have for me? Hey? Hey, 240 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: I have a bad beat story about last night and 241 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: a question about the Cleveland baseball team won change. Okay, 242 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: so my story about last night is I was down 243 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: sixteen points to my buddy in our playoff last night. 244 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: I had Mark Andrews and Justin Tucker going and I 245 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: won the game off that kick by one point. And 246 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: my friends who I'm playing immediately called me and is 247 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: just shot about the loss. But he's calling to congratulate 248 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: me and be a good sport. And then he starts 249 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: groaning and yelling on the phone, and I go, well, 250 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: He's like, well, what are they doing? What are they doing? 251 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: Is that going to be a safety? And then I 252 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: look up to see what's going on with the later 253 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: roles and he yells out the line was three. The 254 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: line was three. But my question to you on the 255 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: Cleveland baseball team name change and do you think there 256 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: are the organizations in sports are going to individually look 257 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: at their names and decide if they're going to keep 258 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: them because they're honoring the Native Americans or do you 259 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: think that they're all going to change it's a safe 260 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: based controversy and pocket ven new marketing money like Washington did. 261 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Jesse. Well, this is what I 262 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: don't understand. If Cleveland finds the name offensive or the logo, 263 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: why are you waiting a year to change it. If 264 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: it's truly offensive and you need to change it, you 265 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: decided to change it, then change it. Not hey, we're 266 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: going to wait a year. And the problem I always 267 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: had with the Indians and the Braves is the caricature, 268 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: the depiction of the Indian on their logo. The Blackhawks, 269 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: as I said yesterday, and I firmly believe it is 270 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: the best logo in all the sports. It's spectacular, but 271 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: here's what teams don't want. They don't want you to 272 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: tell them what to do. Cleveland and the Braves, if 273 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: they decide to change it, need to get out in 274 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: front of it and say we've decided instead of we 275 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: were forced to decide. Daniel Snyder has been fighting this 276 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: because we want it changed. He doesn't want it change. 277 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be told. He's a billionaire. I 278 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: don't want to be told. But with Cleveland, if you 279 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: change the depiction of the logo and make it, you know, 280 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: less of a caricature and something that's proud in regal, 281 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: then maybe Native Americans, you know, would buy into it. 282 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: But as far as the Chiefs go, I don't think 283 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: they're changing. I don't know if I don't think Florida 284 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: State's going to change. But the depiction of Native Americans 285 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: is the problem I have. I mean, and this has 286 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: nothing to do with political correctness as much as it 287 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: is just that is offensive looking, it's embarrassing looking. The 288 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: name Redskins needs to be changed. You want to keep 289 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, fine, Blackhawks, fine, Seminoles, fine, even you know 290 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: North Dakota. The fighting sue I went, I'm like, I 291 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: loved it. But I don't know. If I'm in the tribe, 292 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: the Sioux tribe, I go, do we get anything from this? Now? 293 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: Can we be part of you know, the design of this? 294 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: I got it. That's what I would want from these 295 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: owners is how about a partnership? How about something with 296 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: these tribes? Then I think you get around this and 297 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: everybody's happy that you truly are celebrating who these people were, 298 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: who these people are, and maybe help them. But you 299 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: can't have a screaming Indian as your logo because that's 300 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: that's a caricature and it's not a great depiction. I 301 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: don't think anybody would agree with that. But the Indians, 302 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: if it's offensive, change it this year. Don't go. You 303 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: know it's offensive, but not that offensive that we have 304 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: to do it now. They're gonna make money, don't make 305 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: money revenue stream. Just like I said with Daniel Snyder, 306 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: just change it. Who cares. People will still identify with 307 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: the Redskins, They'll call themselves Redskins fan. I get all 308 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: of that. You got a whole new revenue stream here. 309 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: Oh let me see what else do we have here? Uh? 310 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: Ted and Tampa Hi? Ted, welcome back, ADP. We need 311 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: a new T shirt for the Tampa Bay Raptors. Fred 312 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: Van Filly and his team are down down practice in 313 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: this morning and first game is next Wednesday night, and 314 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: the Mayor of Toronto is going nuts sending tweets out 315 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: every day about Hey Tampa fan, don't get comfortable with 316 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: my team down there. But the entire twenty one season 317 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: is now scheduled because COVID quarantine teams from the United 318 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: States can't go up there and sit fourteen days to 319 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: play a ballgame. And number two, you got that Northeastern 320 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: coming your way. We've still got your setup down here 321 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: in our special operations Jim. So next week forecast is 322 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be in the high seventies.

Now we're not traveling. 325 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: If I can't get the Danats in the studio and 326 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: they don't feel safe going that, they're not going to Tampa. 327 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: But thank you Ted. You know, when times are good, 328 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: then I could certainly see maybe a road trip with 329 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: all of us and we could go down there and 330 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: spend some time with Ted and Tampa. Yes, Paul, we 331 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: do need a bro trip I mean and somewhere. It 332 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: could be like to a rest stop on ninety five. 333 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: I don't care.

Mercedes Benz vans. Dan Wetzel is a columnist 386 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: for Yahoo's Sports and his latest column, the headline is 387 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: does Ohio State Belong in the Playoff? College Football Playoff 388 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: Committee has painted itself into a subjective corner, Dan Wetzel 389 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: joints us, Now, why do you feel this way? Dan? Well, 390 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: so it's kind of a nuanced column, which I know 391 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: America loves nuance at this point, and especially sports talk radio, 392 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: it's a place for that type of debate. I don't 393 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: disagree with the idea that Ohio State's one of the 394 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: four best teams, and personally I would be pretty excited 395 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: to watch them play in the playoff. But there is 396 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: a process, and I don't know how we went from 397 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago where we're keeping big twelve 398 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: teams out because they didn't play a thirteenth game. They 399 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: only played twelve. It was a big deal. They only 400 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: played twelve games, and others leagues got a quote thirteenth 401 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: data point was the big bureaucratic term. Ohio State has 402 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: played five games. That's it, five games, their play six 403 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: four of those games. They'll have an off week before it. 404 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: They you know, they may be one of the four 405 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: best teams, but don't you have to play a season 406 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: to actually make the playoffs. It's like giving someone a 407 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: chance at the Masters from the forward tis you still 408 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: got to kind of you know, you finish the round, 409 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: but what exactly happens, So it's a it's a it's 410 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: an interesting debate because it goes completely against what they 411 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: used to do. Now we know this has basically always 412 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: been a subjective thing and they just reverse engineer or 413 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: reason on why they like this team or that one. 414 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: But I don't know what they're going to come up 415 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: with on Ohio State other than, hey, we just like 416 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Because you know, when you're playing six games 417 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: and other teams are playing twelve eleven ten and may 418 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: have nine ten wins, it's you know, you gotta play. 419 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we shouldn't reward it where the easiest way 420 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: to make the playoff is not to play. I mean, 421 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: it's a good way to avoid losses, but at some 422 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: point you have to play the season. Let me give 423 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: you full control. You got full control to decide who 424 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: in the playoff. So what would you do. I'd expand 425 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: the playoff off. But if I can't do that, yeah, 426 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see who wins this weekend. But obviously, 427 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: if Alabama wins, Alabama I think should be in either way. 428 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame should be in either way, barring, 429 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, a fifty point destruction at Clemson. I think 430 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: Clemson is a team that you know, they do have 431 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: a loss. But if you're talking about a loss a 432 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: double overtime on the road without your starting quarterback. That 433 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: is a I know it's a zero sum game we 434 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: play in football, but that is about as close of 435 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: a loss as you can possibly have. I think Clemson 436 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: still has a very good argument. I think if Florida 437 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: beats Alabama, they still get in. Florida at that point 438 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: would have nine SEC victories, which is the most of 439 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: any school to ever play because normally you only play 440 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: eight regular season games. In one conference game they would 441 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: have they would have nine. I don't think Florida is 442 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: necessarily out of this. If they'd beat Alabama. I would 443 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: take a team like that because I kind of just maybe, 444 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: even if I do love what Ohio State represents and 445 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: how good they could be, I'm kind of more of 446 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: a process guy, just the way I think about it, 447 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: and I look at and say, geez, you know, I mean, 448 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how I can take a team with 449 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: nine wins or a team of six wins over team 450 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: with nine or something like that. But obviously, I think 451 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: Ohio State's got a good point. This really isn't a 452 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: bash Ohio State thing. It's just the Big Ten chose 453 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: to do this. They chose to only play an abbreviated 454 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: season late with no wiggle room. You know, the SEC 455 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: is gonna get like sixty eight or sixty nine of 456 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,239 Speaker 1: the seventy one scheduled games in You could do this 457 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: if you spread out your season. The Big Ten chose 458 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: to do this, and so they have a team they'll 459 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: only have six wins. I don't think you can just 460 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: ignore that. I was wondering about this last night. USC's 461 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: five and oh. They got the Pac twelve title game 462 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: on Friday night against Oregon. They'll if they win, they'd 463 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: be six and oh. If USC had a recent resume 464 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: where they were one of the top five to seven 465 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: teams in college football, how would the committee look at 466 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: USC if they had this? They haven't been relevant here 467 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: in a while. But let's say they have six wins, 468 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: they won the Pack twelve, and maybe they were up 469 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: for a national championship time or two in the last 470 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: five to seven years. Would USC be knocking on the 471 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: doorstep of making the playoffs? My guess is yes. And 472 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: that's kind of the issue you have with this is 473 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: and I get it, this is a crazy year, but 474 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: this is why it's completely subjective. What is it about. 475 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: Let's put it this way. Coastal Carolina could go twelve 476 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: and oh, okay, Coastal Carolina has they could go twenty 477 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: and oh, Dan, they could go twenty an, oh, you're 478 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: not gonna put them in because you go out it's 479 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina. Their recruits aren't good enough. We don't really 480 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: what is this uniform? Who where? What Carolina? Are we 481 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: even coastaling? What is this? Right? This is usc Us. 482 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: We know that uniform, we know that fight song, and 483 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: they have tons of great recruits. They have tons of 484 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: guys that are going to go to the NFL. They're 485 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: album has been not getting it organized in winning, so yeah, agreed, like, well, 486 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: what is it about us? Well, they haven't been winning 487 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: lately or all of a sudden, we're gonna go. Well, 488 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: some of these games are kind of close. How are 489 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: they fifteenth? They're currently fifteenth in the rankings, right Coastal? 490 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: Like you said, they go twelve and oh they're thirteenth. 491 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: They're not even close. But but we we move Iowa 492 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: State up because they're in the Big twelve. Well, the 493 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: Big twelve US gets crushed in the playoff, Like, I 494 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: don't think the Sun Belts can do a whole lot 495 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: worse than the Big twelve does every year. Uh, it's 496 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: it's it's all like it's not even consistent rank to rank, 497 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: and so you know, at the end of the day, 498 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: especially in a season like this, we end up with 499 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: like Alabama playing Oha no More Dame, and Clemson playing 500 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: Ohio State on New Year's Day like set off the fireworks, fantastic, 501 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: this is gonna be awesome, right, But if you care, 502 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: if you look at you d ga into this thing. 503 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: You go, man, this is just I mean, this is 504 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. None of this makes any sense. There's no consistency, 505 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: and they're just sitting there going, hey, we want these 506 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: four teams and we're gonna find a way to get 507 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: these fours. If they told me that upfront, Dan, I 508 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: would be fine with it. It's just they give you 509 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: the impression that dared a dream, but I likened it too. 510 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: You go through the hazing part of trying to get 511 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: into a fraternity and then they don't let you into 512 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: the fraternity. And so if you say, look, Ohio State, 513 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: we love them. That big fan base, Notre Dame, big 514 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: fan base, Clemson, big fan base, Trevor Lawrence, and you 515 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: got Alabama Nick Saban and they got pedigree. Okay, I 516 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: understand it, but don't tell me that well five games 517 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: that you passed the site test. I think, as you 518 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: mentioned in your column, the Titanic passed the site test. 519 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: Like this is silly when we go. I don't know 520 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: if Ohio State's great because if you say based off 521 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: what they did in their biggest game against Indiana, I 522 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: don't think they were great. The Big Ten was horrible 523 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: this year, and now you got Northwestern coming up. It 524 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I don't want to see Ohio State. 525 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: It's just I don't know how one team earns it 526 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: in another team tries to earn it, but they're not 527 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: the same. They don't play by the same rules. Absolutely, 528 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: and look at again, I don't think Coastal Carolina is 529 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: one of the four best teams. I don't really want 530 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: to watch Alabama play Coastal Carolina. But if there was 531 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: ever a year that a school like that should be 532 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: at least in the discussion, it's this year because their 533 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: league was one of the only ones to play non 534 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: conference games so you could check and see how they were, 535 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: and they beat all the Big twelve teams. Louisiana, who 536 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna play in their championship, get beat Iowa State 537 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: by seventeen points in aimes, and it's just like, well, 538 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: we don't care about that Coastal Carolina beatb Why these 539 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: are the best games. And so if you at the 540 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: end of the day said, look, we have a process 541 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: and hey, you know COVID Coastal Carolina snuck in on 542 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: a loophole, at least you go, well that's the process instead, 543 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: which is like there is no process and you know, 544 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: we may get a better playoff for it, but yeah, 545 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: stop with the two days of meeting sixteen hours and 546 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: we have analytics and proprietary data that you don't know about. 547 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: That's what we're seeing. What day, Like, you just want 548 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: Ohio State in there, That's fine, just say it. I 549 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: want Ohio State in there. This feels like the usual 550 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: suspects with Kaiser. So say like this committee is Kaiser. 551 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: So say, I don't know who they are and what 552 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: they do, but there's some stuff that gets done there 553 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: and we'll never know what goes on behind those closed 554 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: doors there. But if I said you could do eighteen 555 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: playoff sixteen, playoff twelve six sixteen, I would do eight. 556 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: I would have five automatic bids for the major five conferences, 557 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: which I think would create way more excitement around the 558 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: country and help spread the wealth out a little bit. 559 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: Right now, for the last five years, no one's cared 560 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: about the PAC twelve race. You would actually care in 561 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: a given year if they're going to get in. And 562 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: what we need to do is create more excitement for 563 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: more schools so the recruits spread out a little bit, 564 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: because what we have right now, it's basically about four 565 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: to five schools that can win a national championship every year. 566 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's Alabama, it's a Stay, it's LSU, it's Georgia, 567 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: it's Emson, and you know that's pretty much. Yet actually, 568 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,239 Speaker 1: maybe Notre Dame can do it. But um, and if 569 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: you look at the recruiting recruiting signing day is Wednesday, 570 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: guess who your top five are? You know, there you go? 571 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: So why not? Right, if you're a kid, You're going, 572 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't I want to play for the title? This 573 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: is these are the only schools to get in, So 574 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: you want to spread it out. I'd have five automatic 575 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,479 Speaker 1: bids and then I have three at large. You might 576 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: create something whearing the group of six the lower schools. 577 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: If you reach a certain benchmark, you can get in 578 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: and bring kind of a Cinderella story in maybe you 579 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: got to be undefeated or you got to rank certain height. 580 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: But I think it would create a lot more excitement. 581 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: You're just adding a game. If you look at all 582 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: the stuff they used to say, well, we can't, we 583 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: can't do it because we can't play games in December 584 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: because of finals. I mean, like Rutgers in Nebraska are 585 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: playing on Friday afternoon. Okay, that's out the window. You know, 586 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: the the sanctity of the Rose Bowl. There ain't gonna 587 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: be a Rose Bowl this year. There's a good chance 588 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: of a Rose Bowl. It's gonna move the game. You 589 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: can totally do it. You'll make more money with y'all 590 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: need and you can. You can set this up. I 591 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: just think it'd be a much more exciting and it'd 592 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: be better for the regular season and the overall health 593 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: of college football is the one thing. It's a wonderful sport. 594 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: I love it, but it is the same suspects every 595 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: single year because unlike the NFL, the worst team doesn't 596 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: get the best draft pick. The worst team gets the 597 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: worst draft pick. The best team gets the best draft picks. 598 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: So it never ends. Jim Harball seems to be safe 599 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: at Michigan right. Feels like Tim Harball seems if he 600 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: wants to return, he will be able to return. You know, 601 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: thinking at Michigan all along from Ward Manuel is that 602 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, one bad year is one bad year. Brian 603 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: Kelly had a four win season a couple of years ago, 604 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: and there they're gonna make their should make their second 605 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: playoff appearance in three Mark D'Antonio has had bad years 606 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: in Michigan State come back. It happens right with a 607 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: great coach. Now, I don't know that Jim Harball has 608 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: done what Brian Kelly has done a notre dame, but 609 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: he certainly has earned that trust within the Michigan family. 610 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: Gotta remember his dad was a longtime coach. He's an 611 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: ann Arbor guy. He played there for boh He you know, 612 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: has done a good job. Not he hasn't beating Ohio State, 613 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: but it's really hard to beat Ohio State. But he's 614 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: done a good at a good job there. You're not 615 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,959 Speaker 1: having like a bunch of arrests or problems with their 616 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: thing or anything like that. They have a good recruiting class, 617 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: so there is a patience at Michigan. And what's kind 618 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: of funny is in the world of college football that 619 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: patience is viewed as insanity, Like what do you mean 620 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: you're patient, and like, look, we still got like an 621 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: alum who's a Super Bowl winning coach. We got well, 622 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: nine games last year. Yeah, it's not that bad. We'll 623 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: give him one more season. It was covid all that 624 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: people are like, you're absolutely crazy, You're nuts, and so 625 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: that's where we're at. That's part of the fun of 626 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: college football too. But yeah, he'll be back, and but 627 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: next year, you know, he has to. He's got a 628 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: very good quarterback coming in out of the high school ranks. 629 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: He got this kid, Kaid McNamara, showed a little bit 630 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: of promise before getting hurt. He needs a core back desperately. 631 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: He hasn't had a quarterback in ann Arbor. That's been surprising, 632 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: and that's been their number one problem. And that's what's amazing. 633 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: This is a guy who played quarterback at a high 634 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: level in the NFL and he can't find a quarterback. 635 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: And it feels like there's so many quarterbacks. When I 636 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: watch college football, usually what you lead with is who's 637 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback, and if you're successful, chances are it's because 638 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: of your quarterback and the fact that Michigan can't find 639 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: one in Ohio State keeps churning out these first round 640 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: draft picks. And they did it again this year with 641 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I mean, they just rub it in make 642 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: it even worse there for Hardball, But you'd think he'd 643 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: have that ability to go, that guy can lead my offense, 644 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been able to find that. Oh State 645 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: was so stacked with quarterbacks they kicked Joe Burrow to 646 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: the curve. I mean, and this is what Michigan used 647 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: to be. Tom Brady sat on the bench because you 648 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: couldn't get on the field. I mean, Michigan is a 649 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: quarterback school. Hardball didn't just play fourteen seasons in the 650 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: NFL and not say super talented quarterback. He gutted his 651 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: way through those fourteen seasons. He also coached Andrew luck 652 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: in college coach Alex Smith in that prost he went 653 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl with Colin Kaepernick and in an 654 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: event of offense. Right, So it's not like, well he 655 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: was he was Peyton Manning's coach. It's like, well, Peyton 656 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: Manning's gut his own coach, right. No, he developed guys 657 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,479 Speaker 1: and max guys out. The number one thing I thought. 658 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: The last thing I thought would be a problem with 659 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: Jim Harbor going to Michigan was they wouldn't have any quarterbacks. 660 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: I thought they'd have a ton of them. Until he 661 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: gets one, you can't win. And he hasn't had one. 662 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: And that's what's held him back. Now. Does that change, 663 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: We'll see, but he will. I think he will be 664 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: back for one more season unless some NFL team comes 665 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: in and says we want you. And there really isn't 666 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 1: a lot of buzz on that right now. Dan, good 667 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: to talk to you as always.

You know, I criticized 678 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving, so I should compliment him when it calls 679 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: for a compliment. And Kyrie walk back his comments that 680 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: he made a few weeks back when Steve Nash was 681 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: hired as the head coach, when he basically said that 682 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 1: we got a few head coaches on this team. Here's 683 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving yesterday speaking to the media. He's been amazing, 684 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: and he's been amazing, and it really is a reflection 685 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: of the type of person is, you know, and the 686 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: IQ he has for the game. You know, I think 687 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: I got to take back my comments in terms of 688 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: the head coach back in a few months ago. But 689 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: it's just like, man, we have such great synergy. Everyone 690 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: feels like we're coaching one another to be better. So 691 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for that. All right, Well that's good. So 692 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: Kyrie is not going to be listed as head coach 693 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: and point guard for the Brooklyn Nets. I don't know 694 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: about Katie. Is Katie still a head coach too, because 695 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: they've they've got a few of them there, But you know, 696 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: just the whole body language there of you know, are 697 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 1: they listening to Steve Nash. How involved is Steve Nash 698 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: as the head coach. Mike D'Antoni is there as an 699 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: assistant coach as well, and it feels like they have 700 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: a pretty good coaching staff there. The question is, you know, 701 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,240 Speaker 1: when it gets down to deferring, who's the star last shot, 702 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: like all those silly things where you go, no, they 703 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: should be fine with all of that. Um petty petty 704 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: jealousies come in. Yeah, Seeden. I haven't heard him walk 705 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: back that comment yet, though, it's nice to have somebody 706 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: else to finally take the last shout with whatever. That 707 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: clutch Yeah, clutch clutch. Hey, but I didn't say Lebron's name, 708 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 1: but you played with Lebron, so I'm guessing Lebron Muslin clutch. Kyrie, right, 709 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: Kyrie made one shot in his career, huge shot, big shot, 710 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: all time shot. I don't know if he's the guy 711 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,720 Speaker 1: that should be taken inventory here of great clutch shooters 712 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: of all time, He asked mclovin. I think it's a 713 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: little underplayed that I saw Mike D'Antoni in the Starbucks. 714 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: I thought that stories should have gotten more live. I 715 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: just want to put that out there. We could do 716 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: Tomorrow's pole question today most underplayed story. You seeing Mike 717 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: Dantoni in Starbucks? You're seeing a great white shark. M yeah, 718 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,919 Speaker 1: I mean you know about that, right, Dan, Marconi Beach 719 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I don't know how you survived, Like, how 720 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: many how far away was that great white shark? Well, 721 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: I was about forty feet into the beach on the sand. Okay, 722 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: so even shark could come up on the beach, he's 723 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: still had to go forty feet to get you. Yes, 724 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: is that something that could happen? My god, you're so brave, 725 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: you really are. I'm proud of you. By the way, 726 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 1: I should have talked to Mike D'Antoni. Are you friends 727 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: with him? I wanted to throw that out there. I 728 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: just assumed you were friends. I don't know you have 729 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: a relationship with all these basketball coach but that doesn't 730 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: mean I might. I don't know if I'm not friends 731 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: with Mike D'Antoni. But I would say Hi to Mike 732 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: D'Antoni and he might say Hi, Dan, and I would say, 733 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: how's the job? Who's the head coach? Do you? What 734 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: do you think of Kyrie Irving's nickname world be Flat 735 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: as a takeoff on world be Free, and then he 736 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: might laugh about that. Tell Steve Nash and I said hello, 737 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: and that would be a yes, Paul. It's weird because 738 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: I have no rooting interest, but I want the Nets 739 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: either to win sixty eight games or thirty eight games. 740 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: I don't want like fifty where they're a nice team 741 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: and they're the fourth scene. It's got to be extreme. 742 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: Well it might be extreme here, but that's a good team. 743 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: They were a good team last year and then you 744 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: add those two, but that doesn't always make you a 745 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: better team. Because I go back to I liken the 746 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: Clippers without Kawhi and Paul George to the Nets without 747 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: KD and Kyrie. They played really hard and they were 748 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,280 Speaker 1: a good cohesive unit, and then all of a sudden 749 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: you bring the stars in and then the stars go, well, 750 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: this is how it's done, and oh you used to 751 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: take that shot? No knts me, Hey, I gotta get 752 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: my touches here. That's when you have drama there. But 753 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, Katie and Kyrie wanted to play together. Kawhi 754 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: and Paul George wanted to play together, although James Harden 755 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: and Russell Westbrook wanted to play together too, But yeah, 756 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: they're gonna be there's gonna be some drama there. It 757 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: feels like at some point, I mean, we didn't get 758 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: started on a good note here that I Red doesn't 759 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: want to talk to the media, calling them pawns. Yes, 760 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: we are pawns. But our job is to interview and 761 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: then disseminate that information to the NBA fans who pay 762 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: your salary and the TV networks who want you to 763 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 1: sit down for an interview because they pay your salary. 764 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: That's really simple. I know that, you know, Kyrie went 765 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: to Duke for six months, but maybe something rubbed off there. 766 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: But you know, maybe he's starting to figure it out 767 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: and that that's a good thing for everybody there. Figuring 768 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: it out. Your role and you're not asked to do 769 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: too much. You don't even have to be entertaining, you don't, 770 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 1: but you do have to talk to the media, whether 771 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: you like it or not. Nate and Oklahoma, Hi, Nate, 772 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan? I just wanted 773 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: to touch on Lewis Critick mentioned the AFC playoff picture. 774 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: You know, he mentioned the achieves, the build and kind 775 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: of the cults. You see a team like the Titans 776 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: were last year as an outlier that could make a run. 777 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: Now as a Titans fan, I'm kind of searching for 778 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: some hope here, But I just wanted to get your thoughts. Yeah, 779 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you've seen it happen. You know the blueprint 780 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: and absolutely thank you, Nate. You know that time of 781 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: the year, it's Derrick Henry time. The question is can 782 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: your defense be opportunistic? Can you run the ball? Can 783 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: you have a steady diet of Derrick Henry? And then 784 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has to sprinkle in some big plays. But yes, 785 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,399 Speaker 1: you know you have to beat them once. But it's 786 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: going to be difficult because you saw Kansas City beat Miami, 787 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: a playoff team with a good defense. They lost the 788 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: turnover battle and they still won that game, and they 789 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: won in Miami. Todd, would you learned today? Brown's beat 790 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: right at Mary kay Cappa says Cleveland put on their 791 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: big boy pens. I'm sure they can hang against that 792 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: type of offer. Mclovin. Lewis Riddick said the Cults are 793 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: sneaky in the AFC Seaton last night was a win 794 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: for the Browns.
