So 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 4: one of the things that we have not had a 42 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 4: chance to discuss is some changes a couple of tweaks 43 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 4: potentially to the college football playoff moving forward. This came 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 4: out over the past few days that moving forward, the 45 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 4: number of teams in the field are going to remain 46 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 4: the same, but there's going to be adjustments made to 47 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 4: how summer included. Next season, the Power four conference championships 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 4: champions will all be guaranteed spots in the twelve team playoff, 49 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 4: along with the highest ranked conference champion from the Group 50 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 4: of six, which now includes the new look PAC twelve. 51 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 4: Notre Dame will also be a lock for the playoff 52 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 4: if it finishes in the selection committee's top twelve had 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 4: those rules existed. Had those rules existed this season, Duke 54 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 4: and Notre Dame would have qualified for the playoff, Miami, 55 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: who played for the national title would have not qualified. 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: And Jammy it would have been out as well. 57 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: So when I was in your team, that creates a 58 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: pretty interesting conversation though, because yeah, it made it. 59 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 6: You know. 60 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Let me let me just point out a couple of things. 61 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: So a lot of people were up in arms about this, 62 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: which was not a revelation. If this isn't really a 63 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: newsworthy it was actually discussed when they made the selections 64 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: for this year's twelve teams. There was what was called 65 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: a memorandum of understanding that was passed out. This has 66 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: agreed upon two years ago, and mind you. This was 67 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: actually the same language that existed within the BCS model 68 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. So for all the people who are 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: outraged by it, if you wear a funny hat or 70 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: you don't, whatever the case may be, you lack the 71 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: basic knowledge that this has existed for over a decade, 72 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: that this this language has been in there since BCS. 73 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: That was a part of it too. So a Notre 74 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: Dame is carved out that language because obviously if it expands, 75 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it goes to sixteen teams twenty 76 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: four teams, that language wouldn't be necessary. But what's happened 77 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: with conference realignment and what's happening with some of these 78 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: conferences as they push for more and more automatic bids, 79 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: which is in essence what the big ten ones or 80 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: I mean not that the SEC doesn't want that because 81 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: they feel like that caps how many they get, but 82 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: because they're in bed with ESPN, they know ESPN and 83 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: will essentially help kind of push the narrative that the 84 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: SEC is the best and you know, these other teams 85 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: need to get in there. They're trying to kind of 86 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: protect their foot their foothold within it. So whether you 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: think that's right wrong or indifferent, it doesn't matter. It's 88 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: actually something that every one of your schools agreed to, 89 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: not only in this deal two years ago, but actually 90 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: as part of the language that was a part of 91 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: the BCS years ago. So there's kind of the first, 92 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, part of like the Notre Dame conversation. What's 93 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: interesting though about the change to the four Power four 94 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: conference champions getting automatic bids, so Duke would have been in, 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: is that the ACC, I believe, has come out and 96 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: said that they're going to change their qualifying criteria for 97 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: their conference championship game, which I've kind of said the 98 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: entire time that was the biggest issue with this whole 99 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: process is everyone, the Big ten, SEC, ACC, Big twelve, 100 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: they should all have the same criteria to determine who 101 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: those top two teams are. Whatever your tie breaking scenario is, 102 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: however you go about figuring out those top two teams, 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: it should all be the same. If you're all playing 104 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: for an automatic bid in why wouldn't it all be 105 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: the exact same. Like part of the issue with the 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: landscape of college football is we've got some conferences that 107 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: we're playing eight some playing nine conference games. Well, finally 108 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: we get the SEC now playing nine this upcoming season, 109 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: so that's more helpful. We have some conferences that are 110 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: saying to their teams, you got to play tougher opponents 111 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: in your non conference schedules. The ACC, for example, there's 112 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: been a few teams that have you know, canceled their 113 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: non conference games versus non power for opponents. You know, 114 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: that was a big talking point. I guess with JMU, 115 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: who I think they're They had a game canceled by 116 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: one of the a SEC opponents, and they're like, oh, 117 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: they're scared of them. It's like, no, it's not that. 118 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: It's the conference doesn't want them to play a group 119 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: of six school so their their strength of schedules and diluted. 120 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: So there's there's changes that are occurring that I think 121 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: are helping to make it a more even match, at 122 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: least the way we look at these teams and compare 123 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: their resumes, because there's so many teams to compare, but like, 124 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: those are two of the things that we still need 125 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: to fix so that it makes it all all equal 126 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: for at least how we're comparing some of them. And 127 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: then the last thing is, as I'll always say, the 128 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: argument of having to play in a conference championship game 129 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: or be or join a conference. For Notre Dame, it's 130 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: lazy and tiresome because did Miami play in their conference 131 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: championship game? Did Ohio State? Like, you could go on 132 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: down the list of teams that didn't have to even 133 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: play in their conference championship game, that have not only 134 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: taken part in the college football playoff, but in the 135 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: case of two years ago in Ohio State won it. 136 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: So to me, it's the stupidest thing you can make 137 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: an argument for. But if that's what you want to 138 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: keep doing, go ahead and keep doing it. 139 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: I don't know, man, you know, I just want to 140 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: see the best teams play. But it's kind of like, again, 141 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: if I'm being shallow about the conversation, it's like, Okay, 142 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: Miami beat Ohio State. They I'll say this without going 143 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 3: into too much detail, they proved that they should have 144 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: been in the championship game because of who they beat 145 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: to get there, And I stand on that. So if 146 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 3: if who's disputing that, though nobody I'm not. I'm not. Yeah, 147 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: I'm not debating. I'm just saying my observation is like, 148 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 3: I want to see the best teams play. But I mean, 149 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: if we're missing if we're missing them and somebody gets 150 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: in and they do well, how did Like my mind 151 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: is okay, did we miss that team that could have 152 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 3: been the Miami of this year based off of what 153 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: they're going to do new new rules wise? That's that's 154 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: the question I asked myself. And if the answer is yes, 155 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: then how do you for certain figure out you know, 156 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 3: how you move forward with it with it being fair? 157 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: I just I don't for somebody. I think the conclusion 158 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: has to be for somebody, it's just not going to 159 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 3: be fair. 160 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 4: Do you guys think that the that the year two 161 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: version of the College Football Playoff had less flaws than 162 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: the first year? So I think that each had, you know, 163 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 4: some complaints, But do you feel like they've at least 164 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: made progress in the right direction to getting the best 165 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: formula for all this out? 166 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: I think there's two ways of looking at this. I 167 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: think there's there's the how do you get the twelve 168 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: teams as part of it? And then what happens once 169 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: you're into the actual tournament format. I thought this year 170 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: was better in the sense of you're not rewarding like 171 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: a group of six team a bye. We had that 172 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: with Boise. Two years ago we had Arizona State, who 173 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: wasn't as highly ranked, who had earned that as well. 174 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: And no disrespect to Kenny Dillingham in his program, but 175 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: you know, that was the rules. Then it's changed, you know, 176 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: And obviously and they played access down to the wire, 177 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: but I don't know that we looked at them as 178 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: one of those top teams that should have been awarded 179 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: to buy. So that changed, to me, was significant and 180 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: it helped. However, I think we're seeing a trend now 181 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: two years in a row that outside of Indiana, most 182 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: teams that have gotten to buy I don't think performed well, 183 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, in that in that first game out. So 184 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: that that layoff and the calendar is is one of 185 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: the bigger issues that hasn't been changed that needs to 186 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: be changed because I think it impacts how these guys 187 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: perform when you're off. In some cases for teams that 188 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: you know, again you know, if they didn't play in 189 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: their conference championship, or even if they do, like you've 190 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: got a good three week period where they're off at 191 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: least two I mean, it's it's a long period of 192 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: time between there, and for some of those teams I 193 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: think it hurt them for Indiana that I think they're 194 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: the only one that's gotten to buy the past two 195 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: years that actually won. I mean, fact check that if 196 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: you're you know, if you need to, but I think 197 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: that's the case. So they need to condense this season 198 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: so we're not having such a lag and these teams 199 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: feel like it's almost you know, been down near a 200 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: month for them being off before they plague, and that 201 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: would be one thing. But I do think we've we've 202 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: gotten the more four deserving teams of getting those buys 203 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: if we're gonna have buys, I mean, I personally would 204 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: love to see it go sixteen and we do away 205 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: with the buys, and that way you reward those those 206 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: teams they get the host to home playoff game like that. 207 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: I think that's a great experience for the fans, great 208 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: experience for the teams, and they should be able to 209 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: be rewarded for that. 210 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 5: So I guess they're you know, the report is there. 211 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 4: This gives them additional time to look into either what's 212 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 4: being discussed as a sixteen or a twenty four team playoff. 213 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 4: I mean, if they're already throwing out the twenty four number, 214 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 4: what does it probably, you know, it's inventially happen. 215 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: At some point the twenty four number then does away 216 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: with the conference championship games like that weekend becomes absorbed 217 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: by the expanded format. So that's what makes it a 218 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: bit more difficult. And I think there's also a thought 219 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: for having automatic bids in and then you create something 220 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: where you have teams play for those automatic bids. So 221 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: you'd have like, you know, your your top team, you know, 222 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: plays number one and number two play for the conference 223 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: championship quote unquote if you will. But and maybe they 224 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, again, in a twenty four team, you could 225 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: probably you know, still work in some buys, but the 226 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: point would be they're playing for the conference championship. Maybe 227 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: they're playing for a buy, but the loser still gets 228 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: in two uh, And then you have three play six, 229 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: four play five, and the winners of those games get in. 230 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: So there's there's kind of your four automatic bids from 231 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: the big ten SEC and then you could figure it 232 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: out for the rest as well as far as the numbers. 233 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: But I think twenty four is too much in my opinion. Yeah, 234 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, I just I don't know that that helps 235 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: you quite as much I think sixteen is a better 236 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: number to expand to, Like fourteen, what are we doing? 237 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: It seems like an odd number outside of it being 238 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: a football number, and I think sixteen would be the 239 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: next logical step. 240 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 4: It still keeps it pretty exclusive, you know, sixteen best teams, 241 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 4: you know in theory playing for the college Football Playoff 242 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 4: and then we get to do it again. But I've look, 243 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 4: I know there's a lot of you know, whether you 244 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 4: want to talk about the teams that were given bys 245 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 4: last year or the teams that didn't get in or 246 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 4: did get in this year. I have enjoyed the College 247 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 4: Football Playoff like I do. Think it's an awesome setup. 248 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 4: I love the home games. The home game atmosphere, I 249 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 4: think is the coolest part of it all. To see 250 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 4: how that's played out like that stuff is fun to see. 251 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 4: It's just, you know, it's going to take some time 252 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 4: to get this whole thing dialed in apparently. 253 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 3: You know. 254 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: You know what I've enjoyed the most about it, GAS 255 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: is it's completely run against the narrative of what SEC 256 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: fans want you to believe. At ESPN maybe for that matter. 257 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what's funny about is we just keep 258 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: hearing about it's time and time again, whether it's from 259 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: Paul Finebaum or whoever else is like an SEC thumpern 260 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not like here to sit there and tell 261 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: you that there's not biases because I see some more 262 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: big ten teams or even like obviously you know, having 263 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: gone to Notre Dame and seeing that team, like when 264 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: you ask me, like who got left out? That I 265 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: think if Notre Dame plays in that format, there was 266 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: a chance that they could have went on to win 267 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: a national championship. I mean, you saw how close they 268 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: were week one with a quarterback he started his first 269 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: game on the road, and they lose by you know, 270 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: final moments of field goal. You know, I granted you 271 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: were saying that was the Miami team that they lost, 272 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: they didn't win the national championship. True, but I also 273 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: think Notre Dame was a much better team by the 274 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: end of the year than they were at the first 275 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: game of the season. And if you look through Indiana's resume, 276 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: who's the last team they lost to? 277 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 3: That's right. 278 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: So I would just say, like, if you looked at 279 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: I did one of the best teams get left out? Yeah, 280 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: my mind, But like I'm not going to sit there 281 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: and say like, well, they should automatically get in at 282 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: ten and two. Well not if that's you know, unfortunately 283 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: how it how it worked out, you know. But I 284 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: think when you have JM you involved and you have 285 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: Tallaine involved, it's tough because you know, those teams really 286 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: have no shot and the results were the results. And 287 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: again I'm not saying there's not a place for maybe 288 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: some of those smaller schools, but it probably should be 289 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: in a more expanded playoff format. You know, to Jonas's point, 290 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: like even twenty four teams of the one hundred and 291 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: thirty plus that are in FBS who would be available 292 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: to qualify for the College Football Playoff, it's not a lot. 293 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: It's not a high percentage in comparison to fourteen teams 294 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: of the thirty two in the NFL. So when you 295 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: start looking at from that standpoint, you're like, yeah, it 296 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: probably should be more inclusive. There's lower levels of college 297 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: football that have these playoff formats that they seem to 298 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: make it work. Why can't Why can't the FBS make 299 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: it work. It's a bit bizarre, but I do I 300 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: do think we're headed in a better direction. 301 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 4: It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here 302 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 4: on Fox Sports Radio.

Dean? 375 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 5: What's what? 376 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 4: What's the weird way? 377 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 6: The like kind of clockwise way, whatever? You know, it's 378 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 6: just can we get a football? 379 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get into football. Who did that? 380 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: Was that? 381 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: Jonahs are cute? Who did that? Brady? Oh my god? 382 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely me. I was the one who apologize before 383 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: Jonas had to ask the question. I don't think Dean, 384 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: can I kick this one off because I didn't hear 385 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: this from you directly on the broadcast, but Pete Prisco 386 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: claimed that you said this. There was a no call 387 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: on what appeared to be a very easy defensive pass 388 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: interference call on Quentinn Lake on the throw too. I 389 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: believe was Shaheed on the sideline that the official said 390 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: was uncatchable, although it so. 391 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 6: Here's where, and I didn't I could have done a 392 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 6: better job explaining my thoughts on that one. So the 393 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 6: contact was early. I don't think she would have caught 394 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 6: it in bound number one, But the contact was early, 395 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 6: and you always give the receiver the benefit of the doubt. 396 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 6: I said, you know, his question whether it was catchable. 397 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 6: When I got the first look at it, I thought 398 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 6: Shaheed might have already touched the sideline and then he's 399 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 6: not eligible to catch a pass. So that was kind 400 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 6: of my thoughts the first look. And you only have, 401 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 6: as you know, in TV, it's like very quick. You 402 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 6: don't have a ton of time to explain it. So 403 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 6: I shouldn't have said. I didn't say it wasn't catch 404 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 6: myself as questioning whether because she might have already been 405 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 6: out of bound. So that's that's kind of and you 406 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 6: know how the internet is, and it's like, oh, Dean 407 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 6: Blendy knows an idiot, like I may be an idiot 408 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 6: and others of. 409 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: My life, right, just not in that one. 410 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: Okay then, So so on that note, though, I actually 411 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: noticed in the game there was another pass attempted at 412 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: DeVante Adams. It was like up the right sideline. They 413 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: were in plus territory of the red zone, and the 414 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: dB had kind of pushed Adams out of bounds, but 415 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: the ball hit the pylon and he was probably about 416 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: it the five ish maybe four, and the official in 417 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: that instance waved it unketchable, which which during the course 418 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: of the season. I don't know if you talked about 419 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: this or not, but it felt like it was very 420 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: rare where you would get an official to actually wave 421 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: that it was uncatchable, like the ball had almost hit 422 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: someone in the second row. Nowadays, it feels like they're 423 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: they're trying to communicate that more in the and it's 424 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: like to actually closer plays. Is this by design? Is 425 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: this something you're seeing too? Am I just out of 426 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: my mind? 427 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 6: Yeah? I think no, I think there is. There has 428 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 6: been a more direction in terms of if you have 429 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 6: it on catchable, signal that right, it's like one hand 430 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 6: over the head and in that and that was earlier 431 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 6: in the game, and then that official did signal uncatchable. 432 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 6: I feel like again we've probably moved moved the line 433 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 6: with uncatchable a little bit where it's just it always 434 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 6: used to be it had to be sold, like you said, 435 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 6: second row to be uncatchable. I think they are probably 436 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 6: ruling more of those uncatchable now and that signal, which 437 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 6: isn't you don't see that as often, you know, because 438 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 6: the officials, you know, they're ruling on a bunch of 439 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 6: bunch of different things. So, yeah, that was a player 440 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 6: early to DeVante that they did rule that. M Dane. 441 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: Uh. 442 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 3: We talk about the play calls, the missed calls, potential 443 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 3: calls every single time you come on to the show. 444 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 3: I'm curious for you heading into the super Bowl week. 445 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 3: What is it that's the biggest pressing conversation that you're 446 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 3: entertaining heading into super Bowl Week? 447 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 6: Well, I think you know, I thought both games of 448 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 6: the Firth, the AFC game obviously had the weather that 449 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 6: creates in the second half that creates a lot of 450 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 6: issues for everybody, and both games were well officiated games. 451 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 6: I don't I don't think that that there's any major 452 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 6: issues going into the super Bowl. Obviously, these officials are 453 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 6: you know, they're already scouting the two teams. They're looking 454 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 6: at tell them, they're looking at the different tendencies and 455 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 6: things like that. So and I think with these two teams, 456 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything that that that jumps out 457 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 6: that's going to be, oh my god, we have to 458 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 6: we have to make sure we do this or do that. 459 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 6: And again, it's just not you know, it's like the play. 460 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 6: You know, you can't miss a face mask on on Stafford, right, 461 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 6: that's the first down. There's there's there's other things that 462 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 6: that that happened. I thought the you know, I don't 463 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 6: know why the thereek wooland taunting is that, you know, 464 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 6: people were saying, oh, taunting this, and that he taunted 465 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 6: the bench. I mean, the official gave him a lot 466 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 6: of leeway and he just kept going, kept going, And 467 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 6: that's taunting. That's pretty straightforward. So I don't think there's 468 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 6: anything major going into the game that is I'm worried about. 469 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 6: I just think the crew is going to prepare and 470 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 6: hopefully it's a good game. 471 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 4: Dean Blandino joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Fox 472 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 4: Sports NFL college football rules analyst Get him on x 473 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 4: at Dean Blandino. Will Lutt said following the game that 474 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 4: on his final missed kick, among many in that game 475 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 4: in Denver, that they may not have been lined up 476 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 4: correctly as far as the operation from the hole, that 477 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 4: it was a closer than it should have been because 478 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 4: they couldn't see the lines on the field because the 479 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 4: snow was so bad. Is that an officials responsibility to 480 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 4: step in and make sure everything is lined up, to 481 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 4: make sure you can see what's going on or is 482 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 4: it just these are the elements got to deal with 483 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 4: it and you guys figure it out on your own. 484 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's more. It's just the ladder where you know, 485 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 6: if you remember, I don't know what year was, but 486 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 6: a longer it was the Patriots, right, the guy came 487 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 6: on the field with the with the snow, you know, 488 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 6: to kind of clear the snow. You can't do that. 489 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 6: It has to be the teams responsible for for getting 490 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 6: lined up. The officials are responsible for just ruling on 491 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 6: the alignment. And you know, it used to be used 492 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 6: to be seven yards from from the line of scrimmage. 493 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 6: That's where field goals were kicked from. Then then because 494 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 6: kickers got better and they wanted to give get more 495 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 6: space between the line of scrimmage and the kick, it 496 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 6: went to eight. That's on the team to figure that 497 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 6: out where you're going to put the ball. The players 498 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 6: can clear space, you know they but they can't use 499 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 6: anything artificial. They can't you know that come out with 500 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 6: with shovels or or a tractor or whatever it is. 501 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 6: So that's on the that's on the team to figure 502 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 6: that out, and the officials are just going to officiate 503 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 6: the you know, the the formation that the teams present. 504 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: Dean, are you one of those guys who do you 505 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: like the conditions that? Does you know, see the conditions 506 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: like that bother you? Or you think like more teams 507 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: should bill domes? 508 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 6: Oh? I I think there's something cool about watching football 509 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 6: and the snow and the elements. And there's a line, right, 510 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 6: it's that's that's that's I don't think every stadium should 511 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 6: should be a dome or should be indoors. Imagine watching 512 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 6: a game in Green Bay inside or or Kansas City 513 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 6: or or It's just that's that's what it is. And 514 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 6: and you know, I know the Super Bowl is in 515 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 6: more control conditions usually good weather, either good weather locations 516 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 6: or domes. But that's the super Bowl. The championship teams 517 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 6: are always you know, that's home home field that I 518 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 6: think that should be. I like the outdoor part, Dane. 519 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 3: When I look at this matchup coming into the Super 520 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 3: Bowl week and you have two teams that are really 521 00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 3: dedicated to trying to be physical, run the ball. Obviously, 522 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 3: you know I have the conversations with you every time 523 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 3: about the holds and different things like that. Do you 524 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 3: think that this is is the type of crew that 525 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: will allow the excessive holding that has taken place or 526 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: will there be a focus in on because to me, 527 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: I feel like these are game changing, altering holds where 528 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: there could have been a sack, could have been a 529 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: strip sack, could have could have caused an interception, could 530 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 3: have did something, but they're being held in a way 531 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 3: where it's it's an egregious hold. Do you do you 532 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: feel as though with the type of audience, how big 533 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 3: the audience will be. Do you think they will call 534 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 3: those holds knowing that there's going to be more people watching, 535 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 3: or will they stay kind of consistent and true to 536 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 3: the idea of letting letting the holds kind of you know, 537 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 3: play out. 538 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I think you see the number of fouls 539 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 6: called in the postseason always goes down compared to the 540 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 6: regular season. And there's there's a lot of factors. Right 541 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 6: the teams are in theory, these are your better teams. 542 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 6: They know what's at stake. They're not gonna you know, 543 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 6: they're not going to push the envelope. But also there's 544 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 6: that human element of the officials and not wanting to 545 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 6: be the story and and maybe we're not officiating it 546 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 6: as closely as as they are during the regular season. 547 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 6: I think all those things will I don't anticipate, you know, 548 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 6: this game's going to have thirty flags. I don't think 549 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 6: anybody wants to see that. Ultimately, the two teams are 550 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 6: going to decide how many fouls there are, and and 551 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 6: so no, I don't think we're going to see five, six, 552 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 6: seven holding calls. I really don't. I think we're going 553 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 6: to see that same standard that we've seen all postseason. 554 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 6: And there's probably holes that go on called and you 555 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 6: certainly can't can't let egregious ones go take downs, bear hugs, 556 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 6: those types of things. But I think this crew will 557 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 6: go in with with a good plan and say, okay, 558 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 6: here's go through their film review. We're going to call. 559 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 6: You know, if it's a fout foul, we got to 560 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 6: call it. But then once you get into that game, 561 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 6: sometimes it kind of settles in and there's more of 562 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 6: a let them play mentality, and then you don't get 563 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 6: a lot of those calls. 564 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 5: Dean Blandino joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. 565 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 4: We were talking about the news that came out that 566 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 4: shad Or Sanders apparently is going to the Pro Bowl 567 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 4: because Drake may is going to the Super Bowl, and 568 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe nobody else wanted it. But back 569 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 4: when the Pro Bowl was something where you would go 570 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 4: to Hawaii and people would go out, Guys would go 571 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 4: out there for the whole week, and it would be 572 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 4: an honor. Guys like LeVar would be out there three 573 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 4: times and tearing up Waikiki and everything that came. 574 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 5: Along with it. 575 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 4: How were the officials selected for the Pro Bowl in Hawaii? 576 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 4: Because I would assume that would be an honor, Like 577 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 4: it's an exhibition game. They can go out there, have 578 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 4: a couple of cocktails, call a football game, maybe get 579 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 4: an extra check or two. 580 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 5: How did that? How did that process work for the 581 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 5: officials there? 582 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting. With the Pro Bowl, it's a fun assignment. 583 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,719 Speaker 6: But I think with the officials it's a little bit different. 584 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 6: Because you're with the players, you're being flected to the 585 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 6: Pro Bowl means you're I mean not as much anymore, 586 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 6: but but it means you're you're one of the best 587 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 6: in the league, like you're you're with the officials that 588 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 6: that wasn't the case. So if you got the Pro Bowl, 589 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 6: you didn't necessarily have the season that you wanted to have. 590 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 6: You want to work championship teams, you want to work 591 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 6: Super Bowls. But it's a nice perk. Youre going to Hawaii, 592 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 6: And like you said, it's it's it's not the game 593 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 6: isn't the same pressure the game that you bring. Officials 594 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 6: will bring their families like a lot of the players would. 595 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 6: And it was a fun assignment, but it wasn't something 596 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 6: that officials strive to do. And even it became one 597 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 6: of those assignments where if an official was retiring, that 598 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 6: was like a you know, kind of a going away 599 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 6: president and go work the Pro Bowl and do your 600 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 6: last game in Hawaii. 601 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: Dan, with one game to go, what changes the future 602 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: would you like to see? As far as the NFL 603 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: institute now, I keep trying to get you guys to 604 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: just add another official and I figure that might help 605 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: some things out, but no one seems to want to 606 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: want to do that. So, like, like what things would 607 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: you be like if I was there in charge? Like 608 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: this is the one or two things I'd focus on. 609 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 6: I just think process. I think the transparency. I think, 610 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 6: okay with replay, who's making those decisions. Let's get more 611 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 6: insight into what's going into those decisions if we can, 612 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 6: if we can hear and see, I don't think the 613 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 6: NFL will ever go that route, you know, completely, Just 614 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 6: give us more more insight into what's happening. Who's who's 615 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 6: like I said, who's making those decisions? I think from 616 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 6: a rules perspective, I don't think there's any glaring problems. 617 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 6: I know we've talked about the Tush push. They'll look 618 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 6: at that. I don't think. I don't necessarily think that's 619 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 6: the game is going to be ruined if that play 620 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 6: stays in. But I think the game's in good shape. 621 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 6: I don't think you need to make a ton of 622 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 6: changes every year, because then players have to learn something 623 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 6: new officials have to or or unlearned something. So I 624 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 6: just think that's transparency in that process and understanding what 625 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 6: goes into these decisions, especially in replay. I think the 626 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 6: league can clean some of that up. 627 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 4: Diana, you go and do Super Bowl. You're gonna be 628 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 4: out there next week. Are we gonna get matter? 629 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 6: What I don't I have, I don't plan to be 630 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 6: I don't really have any obligations. Socks isn't doing the game, 631 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 6: so but if if something comes up, I may it's 632 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 6: not not a hard you know, it's an easy trip 633 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 6: for me from LA. But we'll see. I'm not entirely sure, 634 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 6: but if I do come out, you guys will be 635 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 6: out there. I'll come see you well. 636 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 5: I mean, listen, that would feel like duty enough. 637 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 4: Come hang out with us at uh, you know, a 638 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 4: convention center with nobody in it at five in the morning. 639 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 5: Why not? 640 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, No, it's awesome, sounds ad. 641 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a great party. You can bring you 642 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: bring yours or just take someone else's that's there. 643 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 6: You just sold me on. 644 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 3: Tang. 645 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dean, I mean if are we going to talk 646 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: to you then before the game? If not, it'd be 647 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: nice to get like in a prediction or how you 648 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: see this thing plan out? 649 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 6: I think you I will definitely talk. Look, I think 650 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 6: like a lot of people, I think most people felt 651 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 6: that the winner of the NFC game would probably be 652 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 6: the favorite and and but it's not. It's not like 653 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 6: it's not like the Sea Hawks or seven and a 654 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 6: half eight point favorite has a tough defense. I don't 655 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 6: think the Rams defense was playing all that well the 656 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 6: latter portion of the year and into the postseason. Seattle's 657 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 6: tough I think. You know, if I had to pick, 658 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 6: I'd say they. You know, if Donald plays the way 659 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 6: he played on Sunday, Seattle's going to be tough to 660 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 6: be They just are. But he can't count Newly win 661 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 6: out there. They like I said that Raves is a 662 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 6: great coach. They you know, May's playing at a high level. 663 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 6: I know, I know that game was kind of an 664 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 6: anomaly in terms of the weather.
