Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Waken Jake.
Speaker 2: Myself, Jake's Story, Ellie, producer, Big Baby, David Mendelssohn.
Speaker 1: We'll cover a.
Speaker 2: Little bit of baseball today. Let's be honest, it's kind
Speaker 2: of football season. We had some college football games, bring
Speaker 2: us into the weekend wild card weekend of the NFL.
Speaker 2: We'll chew through all of that, and we'll tease you
Speaker 2: with the little baseball because it could be a big week.
Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki Week is here. That's gonna get one team
Speaker 2: very excited and a lot of teams probably angry. Your
Speaker 2: boy Jeff Hoffman signed with the Blue Jays pretty significant.
Speaker 1: And you know I'm not missing that.
Speaker 2: Andrew Kittridge signing to Baltimore. God, that's seventh inning, watch
Speaker 2: out Crossfire. He's actually pretty good, So I don't know
Speaker 2: why I'm talking like that. Let's do some baseball quick.
Speaker 2: It'll be a football heavy episode. Thank you guys for
Speaker 2: being a part of Waken Jake. And if you're subscribing, cool,
Speaker 2: We appreciate all of that. So let's do some baseball quick.
Speaker 2: It's Sasaki Week? What does that mean for you? Roki
Speaker 2: Sasaki will get posted at midnight the fourteenth, which is
Speaker 2: technically the fifteenth. That one's always thrown me off. How
Speaker 2: do you say that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's on the fifteenth.
Speaker 2: Twelve, a m of the fifteenth eligible to sign again,
Speaker 2: and it's just gonna be a massive move for whatever
Speaker 2: team gets them. We did a talk and Yanks deep
Speaker 2: dive on it, and I'll just use some anecdotal examples
Speaker 2: because you'll have them for your team. But if the
Speaker 2: Yankee sign Roki Sasaki, which I blindly for some reason
Speaker 2: think will happen, maybe that's just fandom. We'll walk through
Speaker 2: that in a second. But if the Yankee signed Roky Saki,
Speaker 2: they probably they're definitely training Marcus Stroman, which we've dreamt
Speaker 2: of as part of their offseason anyways.
Speaker 1: But then you know, is a.
Speaker 2: Luis Heil Clark Schmidt would be on the table, probably
Speaker 2: for a different bat in the lineup. Like you have
Speaker 2: just locked up six years of a cost controlled guy.
Speaker 1: Who's supposed to be a dude. Uh, he's at.
Speaker 2: Least one a with Yamamoto, and Yamamoto got three hundred
Speaker 2: million dollars and I think I think he's a little younger,
Speaker 2: and I think there's more upside in his arm talent
Speaker 2: like v low stuff if you will, and just the
Speaker 2: fact that he's built like a traditional starting pitcher, you know, Yamamoto.
Speaker 2: There was all this wait to see a little guy?
Speaker 2: Is he Tim Lindsea? Come, what's going on here? Well,
Speaker 2: our guy, Roki Sasaki is listed.
Speaker 1: Listed. Wow, no website for him? Height, I'm seeing six '
Speaker 1: four comes up.
Speaker 2: It's okay. Now I'm seeing another six to two. Call
Speaker 2: him sixty three.
Speaker 1: Split the gap.
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's big, he's got velo, he can touch
Speaker 2: triple digits and it's a fun part of his free
Speaker 2: agency that supposedly he's very vested in improving, which maybe
Speaker 2: that sounds dumb.
Speaker 1: But he's young.
Speaker 2: God, what year is he born? That's gonna make me mad?
Speaker 2: Is he at two thousands?
Speaker 1: Is everyone at two thousand?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Do I just need to get over that?
Speaker 3: Looks like his date of birth is November third, two
Speaker 3: thousand and one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so that's good. He's twenty three years old.
Speaker 2: So he's doing it the Otani route if you remember
Speaker 2: otanih he's basically getting international signing pool money, probably around
Speaker 2: seven mil. And then he's essentially a rookie with options,
Speaker 2: so you'll have him throughout his ARB ers his pre
Speaker 2: ARB years and again has similar to Yamamoto, who had
Speaker 2: a three flat ERA. If you only saw his first
Speaker 2: start of the year, I'm sorry for you. Last year
Speaker 2: it was like one of the first games of the year,
Speaker 2: so I kind of get it. We were at the airport.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're you know, Korea Gameya.
Speaker 2: Moto is great last year. Go check out the numbers. Anyways,
Speaker 2: this guy is a game changer. Uh, if you're into
Speaker 2: the nerdy side of baseball and how you're building a
Speaker 2: team and how you're spending your money, is a massive asset.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, there's an argument he's the most valuable asset
Speaker 2: in free agency.
Speaker 1: Uh, we could do that another day if we wanted to.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you could be getting a top of the
Speaker 2: rotation starter for the next chunk of years for the
Speaker 2: price of essentially on the house, and you're probably gonna
Speaker 2: reallocate other assets to improve your team. So it seems
Speaker 2: like it's the Dodgers because everything seems like it's the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers until it's not. There's interesting arguments on
Speaker 2: both sides. With the Dodgers, you know, would you want
Speaker 2: to be with two other stars of Japan with shohe
Speaker 2: who's the star of the world, and Yamamoto, you know,
Speaker 2: and there's other teams that also have Japanese stars. The
Speaker 2: Cubs they have Saya and Nimnaga. The Padres have you
Speaker 2: Darvish that supposedly is idol. So there's you can start
Speaker 2: stripping it either way, and it just depends who the
Speaker 2: person is, Like, does he, you know, does he want
Speaker 2: to travel and eat dinners with people he could easily
Speaker 2: communicate with and kind of grow grew up with and
Speaker 2: knows a little bit. Yeah, I could absolutely see that.
Speaker 2: Does he want to be his own star? The New
Speaker 2: York Yankees haven't signed a Japanese player, uh since Masahiro Tanaka.
Speaker 2: So if he thinks he's the guy and he wants
Speaker 2: to come to New York and do the whole thing, whoa,
Speaker 2: I mean, he will have eyeballs on him and an exciting,
Speaker 2: riveted fan base coming off the World Series. And you know,
Speaker 2: quote unquote losing Soto, I guess I didn't need a
Speaker 2: quote unquo quote that felt Yankee Fanish. We did lose Soto,
Speaker 2: and that's fine. We went to different directions. But Roki
Speaker 2: would really cover up that wound. And so the other
Speaker 2: teams in play. I mentioned the Cubs, Blue Jays supposedly
Speaker 2: are in play on everyone, the Texas Rangers, there's one
Speaker 2: or two others. We'll see what it'll come down to.
Speaker 2: And it's just interesting. What does he want? Is the
Speaker 2: being on the West coast matter like it has for
Speaker 2: a lot of Japanese baseball players because the need like
Speaker 2: to think it's San Diego and the Dodgers for San Diego,
Speaker 2: I mean for the nightmare of the offseason slash what
Speaker 2: their team is turning into as they're fighting for ownership.
Speaker 2: They haven't made really any transactions this offseason. Getting six
Speaker 2: years of a cost controlled potential ACE would be massive
Speaker 2: for them. This was the team that was up two
Speaker 2: to one against those Dodgers with a chance to beat
Speaker 2: them in the division series. That their offseason would almost
Speaker 2: be complete, like incredible. So let's see what happens. Uh.
Speaker 2: The potential signing could start, like I said, midnight on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: which is the end of Tuesday for a lot of people,
Speaker 2: and then that opens up an eight day window for
Speaker 2: him to sign. So we will be getting that news
Speaker 2: coming up. The thing that is fun and It's part
Speaker 2: of the reason I've talked myself into the Yankees a
Speaker 2: little bit. And I have to preface this, and I
Speaker 2: think this was already like clipped out and stuff. So
Speaker 2: if Socials is in here, chill out, yo. That Like,
Speaker 2: if it's not the Dodgers, which it could be the Dogs,
Speaker 2: it could be a layup. The Dodgers are crushing, they
Speaker 2: just won the World Series. Show has there seems like
Speaker 2: he's having a blastyam mootos there seem like he's having
Speaker 2: a good time. It's a squad, You're gonna be really good.
Speaker 2: They've been a pitching factory. That, Yeah, this could all
Speaker 2: be for not if you will, if it's not the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: because the other side of that, say, he wants to
Speaker 2: be his own star, and let's say he doesn't want
Speaker 2: to be like the sixth guy in a rotation. Maybe
Speaker 2: he wants to be the dude that if these other
Speaker 2: teams are in play San Diego, sure you, Darvish is there.
Speaker 2: Apparently that's his idol. West Coast cool all about it.
Speaker 2: Only problem is what are the Padres going to be?
Speaker 2: That's a really tough division. What's going on with the
Speaker 2: ownership group? Are they gonna spend more money. Is their
Speaker 2: money spent like what as a pitching As far as
Speaker 2: a pitching factory go, I mean San Diego has been fine.
Speaker 2: I don't think when you think of the teams that
Speaker 2: jump to mind, I don't think San Diego jumps to
Speaker 2: the forefront. I mean they've had strong pitching in general.
Speaker 2: They are like good at player development. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if that reputation. I'm not sure if that.
Speaker 3: Reputation persists at the MLB level, but they always I
Speaker 3: feel like, turn guys in well regarded prospects at the
Speaker 3: very least.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It feels like they've brought in good pitchers who have
Speaker 2: been good. Interesting, But that is the the fun part
Speaker 2: about this for Roki Sasaki is he cares very much
Speaker 2: about getting better and signing with one of the pitching
Speaker 2: factories and becoming better because when he if he waited
Speaker 2: two more years, he would have gotten the Yamamoto s
Speaker 2: contract three hundred mil, four hundred mil. Who knows where
Speaker 2: money's at in two years. Instead, he's going through the
Speaker 2: grind five to six years MLB ball, and then he
Speaker 2: will hit free agency proper or get a contract that
Speaker 2: he's looking for one of these teams at age twenty
Speaker 2: nine or something like that, and who knows where money's
Speaker 2: at then, So if he plays his cards right, look
Speaker 2: at Showhy slightly different, but he played his card right,
Speaker 2: cards right and got seven hundred mil, which never really
Speaker 2: made sense, but it did. And now Sodo's getting more money.
Speaker 2: So maybe that's the play. And I think you'd want
Speaker 2: to be an environment that you know we're going to
Speaker 2: be playing good baseball, and that's where I think the
Speaker 2: Yankees do have a legitimate chance.
Speaker 1: You can be the star of all stars.
Speaker 2: You know, the Yankees have had a history of this,
Speaker 2: going back to Matsui Tanaka. It is the Yankees, the
Speaker 2: Yankees of all their faults, all their faults.
Speaker 1: What's that about? Salty Jake comes out?
Speaker 2: They had their worst season in thirty years in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, they were above five hundred. So you're ensuring
Speaker 2: that you are going to be part of a very
Speaker 2: good baseball team for the upcoming five or six years
Speaker 2: on various scales. And the Yankees have been a bit
Speaker 2: of a pitching factory. Matt Blake, the pitching coach. They've
Speaker 2: tapped into a ton of relievers, look what Michael King
Speaker 2: turned into now in the Padres, Like they have really
Speaker 2: done a great job. I mean Clay Holmes was a
Speaker 2: throw in for a quadruple a player of sorts and
Speaker 2: they turned him into a closer for a couple of years.
Speaker 2: Should he have been the closer. That's a discussion for
Speaker 2: another time. But it's the point of they definitely can
Speaker 2: hit the pitching. They have done well tapping into pitchers.
Speaker 2: They're going to be a good baseball team. And some
Speaker 2: of the other teams on the list, I don't know
Speaker 2: what I can guarantee you. So it's probably the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: I think the Padres are even second in the clubhouse,
Speaker 2: but I think the Yankees are there, and then like Cubs. Hey,
Speaker 2: maybe this is their ace in the hole. Maybe his
Speaker 2: boys with Imanaga and Suzuki. He's heard great things about
Speaker 2: Chicago in the summertime.
Speaker 1: Who hasn't that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's going to significantly impact the team, not
Speaker 2: only because are you getting probably one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty innings of a potential star pitcher, but
Speaker 2: you're also going to be able to reallocate other assets
Speaker 2: into improving your team. Uh that Yeah, we're going to
Speaker 2: be getting on that in the upcoming week. It's going
Speaker 2: to significantly change the outlook for one baseball team. And
Speaker 2: if you remember Sigano who signed, he hit it off
Speaker 2: with the Orioles, no connections to Baltimore. I don't know
Speaker 2: how he felt about the city going in. Maybe he's
Speaker 2: a Ravens guy, maybe like Sterrick Henry. He didn't say that.
Speaker 2: He said he hit it off with their pitching crew,
Speaker 2: like their pitching department. So we could see one of
Speaker 2: those come out of the woodwork that maybe he wants
Speaker 2: to be at a stadium that fits his pitching style
Speaker 2: the best, the right coaches, the right teammates. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be exciting and it is one of the more impactful
Speaker 2: moves of this free agency. So that'll drop this week.
Speaker 2: The other one, like I mentioned, Jeff Hoffman signed with
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. He was drafted by them years ago.
Speaker 2: And I always think it's interesting to be like, you know,
Speaker 2: when you're a first round draft pick, you know you're
Speaker 2: instantly telling yourself, like, yeah, I'm gonna sign with this team.
Speaker 2: They're gonna put my number in the rafters and all
Speaker 2: that fun stuff. Different path for Jeff Hoffman, but he
Speaker 2: timed up his free agency well. There was a cool
Speaker 2: uh Bryce Harper connection in there that got him linked
Speaker 2: with Philly that allowed him to take off and become
Speaker 2: an All Star last year. One of the best relievers
Speaker 2: in baseball that he definitely hit that. Okay, former starter,
Speaker 2: more success as a reliever, has a pitch mix. Can
Speaker 2: we make him a starter? So we'll see what Toronto
Speaker 2: does with that. They do have somewhat full rotation. You're
Speaker 2: gonna use Jeff Hoffman. Fangrafts currently has him listed in
Speaker 2: the bullpen, and I would wonder what came back with
Speaker 2: his shoulder injury review, because the URLs supposedly offered him
Speaker 2: forty million dollars and he turned that down, and they
Speaker 2: have a little bit of a history of that. Dalton
Speaker 2: was running hot in the streets this morning talking about
Speaker 2: how they've turned down over the years. Let's see, I
Speaker 2: just had the listen Gai Air Jurgens. Of course in
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, Grant Ball four, Tyler, Colvin Bronson, Arroyo, Giovanni Gallardo.
Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of those are close to a
Speaker 2: decade old, so I wouldn't say it's a trend. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he gets three years for thirty three. He was hoping
Speaker 2: to get around three for thirty eight. That's what Clay
Speaker 2: Holmes got, as the Mets are going to try to
Speaker 2: convert him while also using him in the bullpen, similar
Speaker 2: to Jordan Hicks the previous year. A couple funny connections,
Speaker 2: Jeff Hoffman got the same exact contract as Robert Stevenson
Speaker 2: got a couple of years ago. They were traded for
Speaker 2: each other at one point, and Jeff Hoffman and Jordan
Speaker 2: Romano changed teams and similar deals. So the former closer
Speaker 2: of the Blue Jays goes over to Philly, the reliever
Speaker 2: for the Phillies goes over to Toronto. Uh, they get
Speaker 2: a move in and for Baltimore, it's interesting to know
Speaker 2: they think they need more pitching, And again, how are
Speaker 2: they gonna use Jeff Hoffman in a swing roll maybe
Speaker 2: start to start the year and end up in the
Speaker 2: bullpen instead? They audible to Andrew Kittridge, former Raise reliever
Speaker 2: pitch really well for Saint Louis last year. He got
Speaker 2: a real contract to pitch for them ten mil, nine
Speaker 2: mil something like that. So yeah, so the Orioles a
Speaker 2: couple alies pitching moves. The Baltimore Orioles, who I continue
Speaker 2: to talk myself in and out of every day because
Speaker 2: I do value having a lockdown closer and Felix Bautista
Speaker 2: coming back. He was that in a very special way
Speaker 2: when he pitched for them. Now with Kittridge, they add
Speaker 2: the Philly guys, Sir Anthony Dominguez, Gregory Soto, Yenny your
Speaker 2: Cano is in there. Keegan Aiken had a good year.
Speaker 2: The Oriols have a nice bullpen. They have enough starting
Speaker 2: options that something should be figured out there that I
Speaker 2: all this excitement over the Boston Red Sox. I think
Speaker 2: Oriole's excitement is going to pick up. Let's see what
Speaker 2: happens with Santan Dare and free agency, but I think
Speaker 2: Baltimore is gonna be back this year in Toronto. Speaking
Speaker 2: of Santander, what else are they gonna do to try
Speaker 2: to help out Bow and Vladdie for one more year again?
Speaker 2: You can partially talk yourself into their rotation. You could
Speaker 2: partially talk yourself into their bullpen. The lineup you kind
Speaker 2: of can't right now. But if Laddie can be MVP
Speaker 2: of Laddie, if Bashett can bounce back one or two
Speaker 2: other pieces in that lineup could make it impactful. Good
Speaker 2: for Jeff Offman, currently listed as the closer for your
Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jay, so let's see how they roll him
Speaker 2: out for next season. That's kind of your baseball what's
Speaker 2: up in the streets for now, still waiting on Pete
Speaker 2: Braggy Santander, has Soong, Kim, Jack Flaherty sures are. There's
Speaker 2: a couple other pitchers out there full pension Piveta of course,
Speaker 2: and some more bullpen arms. So as we a month
Speaker 2: to go or so till pitchers and catchers, jerks and
Speaker 2: profar will not be left out unless he is. Let's
Speaker 2: see what comes with that. But it's time to talk
Speaker 2: football people. It was a massive football weekend for some
Speaker 2: the best football weekend of the year. I would argue
Speaker 2: this upcoming weekend, wild card weekend usually has a few blowouts,
Speaker 2: and we saw that and you'll get the college notional
Speaker 2: title National title game. Is that how you talk, Jake
Speaker 2: uh kind of? That kind is how I talk. Let's
Speaker 2: do NFL first, because I think people probably care about
Speaker 2: that a little more. Although it's not in chronological order,
Speaker 2: you know that stings.
Speaker 1: But it's probably.
Speaker 2: Easier to make your way through because on Saturday, the
Speaker 2: Chargers face off with the Texans. Texans not hot in
Speaker 2: the streets. We talked about it a little bit like
Speaker 2: from where they were with Stroud with one of the
Speaker 2: best rookie seasons ever, and these Texans are set up DeMarco.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the.
Speaker 2: Seemingly coolest, sexiest young head coaches in the league, Bobby
Speaker 2: Slowik at offensive coordinator. It sounded like he was turning
Speaker 2: down jobs last offseason. The Texans became unsexy this season
Speaker 2: to the fact that the Chargers on the road were
Speaker 2: three point favorites, and they come out, they put up
Speaker 2: a six spot and then Harbaugh got put in that
Speaker 2: SpongeBob Dirty Bubble. Do you know what that's about, are you?
Speaker 3: One of the Nickelodeon games? And Dirty Bubble came and
Speaker 3: snatched Tarbon. Then it all fell off, fell apart for
Speaker 3: the Chargers.
Speaker 2: The whole thing thirty two to six, the rest away
Speaker 2: for your Texans. Justin Herbert, who had been judicious with
Speaker 2: the ball had three interceptions during the radio season, had
Speaker 2: four in this game. Chargers couldn't run the ball and
Speaker 2: didn't order a lot of runs. Dobbins with nine carries
Speaker 2: for twenty six gusp bus with seven for twenty two
Speaker 2: no action on the ground where the Texans ended up
Speaker 2: finding it and kind of icing the game with Joe
Speaker 2: Mixon showing his head again twenty five carries for one
Speaker 2: zero six in a touchdown. The Texans day was awesome.
Speaker 2: They were all over Herbert and and they just took
Speaker 2: control of this game and a proud kind of Texans
Speaker 2: franchise at home dogs and Rex Ryan was talking trash
Speaker 2: and they kept the receipts on that crazy what this
Speaker 2: game turned into six nothing, Chargers ten six at the
Speaker 2: half and then Houston just steamrolled them thirty two to
Speaker 2: twelve seven one two for Nico Collins, he's he's really awesome.
Speaker 2: That has people questioning like, wait, are the Texans did
Speaker 2: they save something for this postseason? Stroud finding it?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think there's a case that.
Speaker 2: The Chargers aren't that good. I think it's the cases
Speaker 2: they had a lot of harbaw juice this year that
Speaker 2: turned around the team. And Herbert is solid and Ladd
Speaker 2: McConkie's very good. After Ladd McConkie skill wise, I think
Speaker 2: the Chargers are a little thin so it's a massive
Speaker 2: building year for them to get back to the playoffs
Speaker 2: win season. You have Herbert, his playoff woes are ugly,
Speaker 2: and everyone want to make sure everyone talks about that.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 2: Let's see if they can get back there next year,
Speaker 2: and let's see if they can build on that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think another wide receiver, a tight end, or a
Speaker 2: more dangerous running back and the Chargers would be a
Speaker 2: much scarier team for next season. The other game that day,
Speaker 2: Ravens Stillers, happened fast. Ravens go up twenty one to
Speaker 2: nothing in the first half. There was some crazy stats.
Speaker 2: The Steelers were just completely outclassed. I think there was
Speaker 2: something like the Ravens had more first downs and the
Speaker 2: Steelers had plays in the first half, something along those lines.
Speaker 2: I don't think that was right, but it's one of
Speaker 2: those stats that you hear and you're like, whoa, that
Speaker 2: is right.
Speaker 1: Credit to the Steelers a little bit.
Speaker 2: They showed a bit of fight coming out in the
Speaker 2: second half that I think, you know, Michaels, al Michaels
Speaker 2: and Herbstreet were laughing on the broadcast that they were like,
Speaker 2: you know, this is a blowout, this is ugly and
Speaker 2: then they changed their tone to the they're a possession
Speaker 2: away from being a possession away. That's a good way
Speaker 2: of That's a very nice way of phrasing it for
Speaker 2: a Steelers team that didn't really have a chance against
Speaker 2: one of the class teams in football and the AFC.
Speaker 2: The Baltimore ravens Lamar has a very strong playoff game.
Speaker 2: He was running it so much. Fifteen carries total eighty
Speaker 2: one yards, King henry Man twenty six carries for a
Speaker 2: buck eighty six. He had one hundred in the first half.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just just bizarre. We've gotten too comfortable
Speaker 2: with what he is continuing to do. No crazy receiving.
Speaker 2: I mean, Zay Flowers didn't play in this game for Baltimore,
Speaker 2: and Lamar just spread the ball out that no one
Speaker 2: had really a crazy game, but no one had a
Speaker 2: bad game. Leaves Pittsburgh kind of wondering what are their
Speaker 2: next steps at quarterbacks? Some people questioning the head coach.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Tomlin is sure of a thing
Speaker 2: as you can have. It just feels like they haven't
Speaker 2: had good quarterback playing so long. So will they continue
Speaker 2: to go stopgap options? Will someone come available that can
Speaker 2: be more of a solution, whether in the draft or
Speaker 2: Donald or.
Speaker 1: Something like that. We will see.
Speaker 2: And Baltimore goes on to play the game of next
Speaker 2: weekend that we'll talk about in a second.
Speaker 1: So that was Saturday.
Speaker 2: It's pretty disappointing, like to see Raven's chart, Raven Steelers
Speaker 2: land at twenty eight to fourteen. That's not what that
Speaker 2: game was. It was twenty one nothing and the first
Speaker 2: game didn't really have the juice either.
Speaker 1: That led us to Saturday.
Speaker 2: And my Denver Broncos put on my Terrell Davis jersey
Speaker 2: little big on me audible to my Brian Greasy jersey
Speaker 2: fits pretty well, h slash, a little uncomfortable. If I
Speaker 2: had like children's football pads on, I think it would
Speaker 2: look great. Not gonna wear a lot of those. Uh
Speaker 2: there's a tebow jersey too, but that's holidays. And here
Speaker 2: come the Denver Broncos. Sean Payton coaching him up.
Speaker 1: First drive. What did he see?
Speaker 2: Troy Franklin the first ever rookie to rookie playoff.
Speaker 1: Touchdown in NFL history? How do you like that?
Speaker 2: As bon Nicks hits him for the deep ball, it's
Speaker 2: seven to nothing. Broncos get ready.
Speaker 1: For a fight Buffalo. This was all the pregame shows.
Speaker 2: Hey the Broncos might, the Broncos could. It's Sean Payton
Speaker 2: bone Nicks has been playing better. The Broncos defense the
Speaker 2: most sacks in the league. Like you're coming up with
Speaker 2: an upset formula playing defense getting in the quarterback's face.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 2: That was all the Bill's going to score the next
Speaker 2: thirty one points. James Cook has been awesome for them
Speaker 2: out of the backfield. I think they're starting to call
Speaker 2: him Jimbo in audible to that if we need to
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel felt like he killed.
Speaker 2: My fantasy teams for two seasons, but he has the
Speaker 2: longest touchdown of the weekend. Shakir with a really solid game.
Speaker 2: Starting to like him a lot. He's gonna probably ruin
Speaker 2: some fantasy teams next year.
Speaker 1: For me, that's rude. He could be great.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they spread the ball around, Josh Allen running
Speaker 2: for it when they needed it, and yeah, again I
Speaker 2: think there was I think the problem with wildcard weekend,
Speaker 2: especially now that there's only two teams that get a bye,
Speaker 2: is that let's say there's five elite teams in a
Speaker 2: given NFL season. Okay, so two of them have a bye.
Speaker 2: That means three of those teams are going to be
Speaker 2: playing wildcard weekend round numbers all around here. The Broncos
Speaker 2: are just in a different class. The Broncos are nice.
Speaker 2: They won games that I didn't think they'd win this year,
Speaker 2: but the majority of their games are against ugly teams.
Speaker 2: Broncos wins. I'll go down the line Buccaneers Week three,
Speaker 2: so we're going back then it's Jets, Raiders, Saints, Panthers, Falcons, Raiders, Browns, Colts,
Speaker 2: and then they beat the Chiefs, who didn't play their players,
Speaker 2: So the Broncos. It's a weird thing with the NFL
Speaker 2: and finding that that middle area. The only playoff team
Speaker 2: the Broncos beat were the Buccaneers in Week three. Yes,
Speaker 2: they beat the Chiefs, they didn't play their starters. So
Speaker 2: from where the Broncos were from benching Russ to make
Speaker 2: sure he doesn't hit part of his contract goals to
Speaker 2: where they are now, it's a massive turnaround. Excited for
Speaker 2: some Bronco football next year. Bonix seems like, seems like
Speaker 2: the responsive military man that Sean Payton needs and it's
Speaker 2: gonna be interesting to see where they take this team.
Speaker 2: So that was the start. Obviously, was looking for a
Speaker 2: little more fight out of the horses, but not shocked
Speaker 2: at the results. What was I think people were hoping
Speaker 2: was the game of the weekend was Packers Eagles. Eagles,
Speaker 2: and Eagles come out and they play some Eagle football.
Speaker 2: They go up ten to nothing in the first Johan
Speaker 2: Dotson with the first TD, A couple tough first TD
Speaker 2: scores this weekend if that's your lane on the DraftKings sportsbook.
Speaker 2: And then they get the shorty field goal, look like
Speaker 2: they were gonna punch it in again, but it's ten
Speaker 2: to nothing. And then the game just felt so ugly.
Speaker 2: No scoring in the second quarter, but the Eagles were
Speaker 2: dominating the game. They're talking about on the broadcast. They
Speaker 2: were saying it felt like it the Eagles should be
Speaker 2: up like seventy three. Nothing, little harsh, but they were
Speaker 2: in control. Packers missed a field goal in the first half.
Speaker 2: Mc mann just makes want to start midway through the
Speaker 2: second half that you're like, Okay, it's a ten to
Speaker 2: three game. Wait, is this Eagles thing just gonna implode
Speaker 2: on itself? Like we've kind of seen before, like is
Speaker 2: this gonna take a turn on? Sirianni and the Eagles
Speaker 2: offense just looks so clunky for a couple possessions. No,
Speaker 2: Dallas god Her with a man touchdown just did a
Speaker 2: short on it that might be out before or after
Speaker 2: you're watching this. Truck stick, double stiff arm, Josh Jacobs
Speaker 2: with a couple man runs of his own, My God,
Speaker 2: carrying bodies, guy hanging onto a shirt and it didn't rip,
Speaker 2: so he's just dragging guy in a shirt. That was
Speaker 2: kind of that. It was still a one score game.
Speaker 2: It was sixteen to ten Eagles field goal, Eagles field
Speaker 2: goal run out.
Speaker 1: The clock wasn't pretty.
Speaker 2: Sometimes with the Eagles it's not, but their defense is disgusting.
Speaker 2: In Saquon, it's where the Eagles are frustrating. It feels
Speaker 2: like they could hand it off to him every play
Speaker 2: and win football games pretty easily, and they don't do that.
Speaker 2: Aj Brown reading on the sideline that was interesting. Everyone
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, is this is this for show? What's
Speaker 2: the book? Turns out it's like a good motivational book
Speaker 2: and he said he reads it every game and this
Speaker 2: was the first time he got caught.
Speaker 1: So what's that about.
Speaker 2: Eagles take care of the Packers. Packers Jordan Love three interceptions.
Speaker 2: Nobody really knows what to do with the Packers. Like
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs had a monster year.
Speaker 1: That was cool.
Speaker 2: They had a bunch of wide receivers get hurt throughout
Speaker 2: this game and before the game with Watson. Next year
Speaker 2: is going to be a very interesting year because I mentioned,
Speaker 2: you know, okay, if the Broncos are middle class, the
Speaker 2: top tier teams, the Eagles, the Ravens, Chiefs, you know,
Speaker 2: there's a couple more the top tier teams. It feels
Speaker 2: like the Packers are somewhere in the middle. But we
Speaker 2: don't know if they should be lumped up or lumped down.
Speaker 2: This kind of team hasn't shown us they should be
Speaker 2: lumped up that I don't know. It'll be an interesting
Speaker 2: pivot peer pivot year even for the pack next year.
Speaker 1: Some on your heart, there beabs.
Speaker 3: I just thought you might want to know. San Francisco
Speaker 3: Giants have been told they will not sign Roki Sasaki. Okay,
Speaker 3: so he's ruling out teams, and the Giants are the
Speaker 3: first ones in this cycle that we're being told are
Speaker 3: ruled out.
Speaker 1: Tough for Giants fans.
Speaker 2: Why are we doing it like that?
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's gonna be two teams at once. Giant,
Speaker 1: It's no.
Speaker 3: Apparently that was brought up at justin Verlanders presser with
Speaker 3: the Giants that I think is happening now, and the
Speaker 3: gm got asked about all that. Okay, so they don't
Speaker 3: know when they got informed exactly, but did it on
Speaker 3: their own terms. Okay, they got an in person meeting
Speaker 3: and have now been told.
Speaker 1: Though you'd like to think he knows where he's signing.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Your final game again, After kind of a tough NFL Sunday,
Speaker 2: that Eagles Packers game was clunky, even though it got
Speaker 2: close for a second there, Commanders Bucks. I think everyone
Speaker 2: was kind of hoping for a shootout here. Two kind
Speaker 2: of shoddy defenses Baker against Jaden Daniels in Tampa. A
Speaker 2: big Washington crowd in Tampa who got to see their
Speaker 2: commanders win. Jade and Daniels doing things rookie has never
Speaker 2: done before. He ends up two touchdown passes twenty four
Speaker 2: or thirty five. He also had the most carries and
Speaker 2: rushing yards on the team, first rookie to lead in
Speaker 2: passing and rushing in a game. You know, the rushing
Speaker 2: numbers aren't impressive, but he did get the big fourth
Speaker 2: down to ice the game when they needed it.
Speaker 1: And yeah, this was this was playoff football.
Speaker 2: There was something like it felt like the big plays
Speaker 2: weren't gonna happen. It felt like stars were doing it
Speaker 2: in moments Mike Evans when they needed a big play.
Speaker 2: Bucky was starting to kick in a gear in that
Speaker 2: second half. Scary Terry McLaurin with a couple big plays,
Speaker 2: but the one that's gonna haunt Bucks fans for a while.
Speaker 2: They got a little cheeky trying to do a wide
Speaker 2: receiver end a round play that the timing was just
Speaker 2: off on football bumps into the wide receiver. McMillan balls out,
Speaker 2: Washington jumps on it. If you are a baseball person
Speaker 2: listening to this, you're not sure what to do with football.
Speaker 2: If you're a football person, Jayden daniels Man, I don't.
Speaker 2: It was awesome to watch him play at LSU, and
Speaker 2: that's what rope him in. There's a couple interviews that
Speaker 2: wrote me into also just his general running style, you know,
Speaker 2: finding out a little bit about the guy. You're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it seems like a cool dude whatever, he's the man
Speaker 2: he uh. Before the big third down to ice the game,
Speaker 2: they brought in Marcus Mariota to do a trick play
Speaker 2: hard count and Jaden Daniels is at running back, so
Speaker 2: this star quarterback he goes in motion from the running
Speaker 2: back position and Mariota.
Speaker 1: They don't draw off sides, they.
Speaker 2: Call time out and uh, Jayden Daniels, there's a cut
Speaker 2: of him laughing with the bucks d line like he's
Speaker 2: just giggling and it's not okay. So Bay on the
Speaker 2: other side, other side has had moments where people think
Speaker 2: it's a little over the top.
Speaker 3: He's rubbed some people the wrong way over the years.
Speaker 2: A great way to put it, it feels like it
Speaker 2: feels like Jaden Daniels has the traits where you'd say
Speaker 2: the word like you could say, Jaden Daniels is cocky,
Speaker 2: but it's never rubbed anyone the wrong way and he
Speaker 2: just has fun and he's just himself. That on that
Speaker 2: final third down that they ended up picking up after
Speaker 2: the Mariota fake snap count, he stiff arms a two
Speaker 2: hundred eighty pound defensive line and Clancy, who is having
Speaker 2: an awesome game, and he does it with ease and
Speaker 2: his blood pressure never rises. It always seems like he
Speaker 2: does the right thing. In his postgame interview, Bobby Wagner,
Speaker 2: who's a Hall of Famer Seattle, you know those Seattle defenses,
Speaker 2: like Bobby Wagner, he's he's going into the Hall. He's
Speaker 2: now playing for Washington and he's been huge for them
Speaker 2: on defense. Well arguably a legend of the game. He's
Speaker 2: the one that recovered the fumble and he's Jane Daniels
Speaker 2: is doing the interview with after the game and he's like,
Speaker 2: they asked him about Bobby Wagner. He's like, yeah, he
Speaker 2: he fell on the ball, like he was. He was
Speaker 2: kind of joshing. It's just like not poking in prodden.
Speaker 2: But you know, he he obviously knew that he's talking
Speaker 2: about an inner circle Hall of Famer that has made
Speaker 2: their defense a serviceable playoff defense. He's within earshot and
Speaker 2: you know he could have gone rookie quarterback in front
Speaker 2: of a microhne. Yeah, you know that's Bobby Wagner, and
Speaker 2: what a play by him to get it done. And
Speaker 2: he goes, uh, yeah, Bobby fell on the ball. If
Speaker 2: you're looking for a guy to like. I think Jay
Speaker 2: Daniels is that guy. The way he plays, who he
Speaker 2: is off the field, personality, he's all of it. So
Speaker 2: that's why the DMV Washington area is so excited about him.
Speaker 2: They get the win, and that sets up, well, there's
Speaker 2: a game tonight Minnesota LA essentially a pick them. The
Speaker 2: game is in Arizona because of the LA wildfires, which
Speaker 2: that's just crazy. Minnesota it's where football can just win.
Speaker 2: Is Minnesota is coming off their worst game. It's to
Speaker 2: the Lions, Donald look bad and it's like, okay, so
Speaker 2: is this how the Donald fairytale ends? Like could you
Speaker 2: not see tomorrow morning? It's like, damn Donald and the
Speaker 2: Vikings ran out of steam. They're playing an LA team
Speaker 2: that's playing with a little more of an edge. Their
Speaker 2: young d line has picked it up, they've got both
Speaker 2: their receivers. They've played better when those guys have been
Speaker 2: out there and gets it done. Maybe they're playing with
Speaker 2: for for La a little bit, which is crazy and
Speaker 2: you don't, you know, you don't want to tie stuff
Speaker 2: like that with sports, but it does. Or could you
Speaker 2: see the Vikings where motivation kicks in and it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know they got beat up by the Lions going
Speaker 2: into their playoff game. That gave tall, handsome coach Kevin
Speaker 2: O'Connell a week to coach them up, coach them hard,
Speaker 2: and make the right game plan. You'd absolutely see both
Speaker 2: of those happening. So another one that I think if
Speaker 2: you laid out the slate for this playoff weekend, you
Speaker 2: would have said that probably has a top two or
Speaker 2: three chance Minnesota and the Rams of having one of
Speaker 2: the best games of the weekend. So hopefully we get
Speaker 2: that tonight and we'll be able to tee it up more.
Speaker 2: But the winner of that game will go on to
Speaker 2: face Philadelphia, which either of those fan bases will have
Speaker 2: a little bit of hope. More so the Vikings, I
Speaker 2: think if they win, but not if the Rams win
Speaker 2: and Stafford looks good and McVeigh in LA like, you'll
Speaker 2: be able to talk yourself into either of those teams. Otherwise,
Speaker 2: on Saturday, a tradition unlike any other, Houston will play
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Yeah, Kansas City twenty four days off. Going
Speaker 2: into that game, Yeah, pretty wild, Andy Reid and I
Speaker 2: it'll be it's just gonna be interesting on that one, Like,
Speaker 2: are they gonna be fully prepped and in playoff mode.
Speaker 2: This is a team that waited for the postseason. They
Speaker 2: did it last year to us. That's the Saturday game
Speaker 2: on Sunday, Baltimore and Buffalo. Those are two. It's everything
Speaker 2: you want. Those are two super Bowl teams with MVP
Speaker 2: candidates like that has a chance to be the game
Speaker 2: of the year before even teeing up the next weekend's
Speaker 2: game or the Super Bowl. And Washington goes to Detroit,
Speaker 2: which I hope that's fun. Detroit should roll them. They're dominant,
Speaker 2: their defense looks like they're getting healthy, and they just
Speaker 2: did that to Minnesota. Jayden's got a little bit of
Speaker 2: the magic magic sauce, and don't be surprised if that
Speaker 2: game turns out being very fun, a playoff shootout of
Speaker 2: sorts that puts Jayden fully kind of on the national stage.
Speaker 2: So that was your NFL weekend. I'm trying to get
Speaker 2: you guys college football because the last time we spoke,
Speaker 2: those games were still yet to happen, and it led
Speaker 2: us into the weekend, which if you were a football head,
Speaker 2: you had yourself a good weekend.
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Penn State.
Speaker 2: Wow, this is why people talk about stuff right when
Speaker 2: it happens, because this game does feel forever ago.
Speaker 1: This was Thursday.
Speaker 2: Wo Yeah, Notre Dame versus Penn State. Penn State came
Speaker 2: out and they felt like the better team, and they
Speaker 2: were starting to get it going on the lines and
Speaker 2: they were getting pretty dominant. They get a field goal,
Speaker 2: a fourteen play drive twenty yard field goal, so they
Speaker 2: come up a little short there. Then they run it
Speaker 2: in fifteen plays ninety yards and it's like, oh man,
Speaker 2: they are dominating the ball. The Notre Dame defense looks tired.
Speaker 2: They haven't been able to drum up anything on offense.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame gets the field goal before the half. Jeter,
Speaker 2: we like that. Notre Dame comes out of the half
Speaker 2: and they look like a different squad.
Speaker 1: The touchdown to tie it ten to ten.
Speaker 2: They get the touchdown to take the lead at seventeen
Speaker 2: to ten. Both running backs. I think there was NFL
Speaker 2: running backs on the field for this game, with Jeremiah Love,
Speaker 2: Nicholas Singleton, k Tron Allen Even. I think a Nias Williams.
Speaker 2: I believe he's a true freshman in a couple of years.
Speaker 2: The big tight end Tyler Warren out there doing his
Speaker 2: damn Is to make plays. You will see him a
Speaker 2: lot on NFL Sundays. The problem might have been, you
Speaker 2: won't see a lot of Penn state wide receivers on
Speaker 2: NFL Sundays. No catches from Penn state wide receivers was
Speaker 2: the going away kind of hot take from this one.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, they scored a touchdown after two Nick Singleton
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns. In the fourth great House defender slipped and
Speaker 2: fell fifty four yard touchdown beats twenty four to twenty four.
Speaker 2: This was a fun college football game.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: It felt like Penn State might have just been the
Speaker 2: better team and Big ten and all of that jazz,
Speaker 2: and then Notre Dame fought back and there's kind of
Speaker 2: contrasting styles of play. It's everything you want in a
Speaker 2: college football game. And then, unfortunately for Penn State fans,
Speaker 2: Drew Aller with an interception that'll be remembered in Happy
Speaker 2: Valley for a long time. They have the ball there
Speaker 2: in an area of the field you just can't make
Speaker 2: the mistake, and he goes through his progressions and he's
Speaker 2: laid on it and it just felt like it was
Speaker 2: happening in slow motion. Interception gives Notre Dame. The ball
Speaker 2: back gives Jeter another kick at it, and they win
Speaker 2: that game. Awesome for college football. I've gone on a
Speaker 2: couple rants to people like I don't believe sports are
Speaker 2: fake because it's my whole existence. But there's ten percent
Speaker 2: of me that's like, maybe stuff gets rigged and maybe
Speaker 2: this is all AI or something. Notre Dame Penn State
Speaker 2: to have that kind of game in this new college
Speaker 2: playoff format, which reminder is a whole tie into the
Speaker 2: playoff format. I know college football had some duds, but
Speaker 2: this game was great and these two teams would not
Speaker 2: have linked up previously. So that's a win. And I mean,
Speaker 2: just getting the Notre Dame fan base for college football huge.
Speaker 1: So that led into.
Speaker 2: Friday Friday Day night, thinking that we just might Ohio
Speaker 2: State versus Texas Texas forever my friend. And again Ohio
Speaker 2: State has turned into the heavy favorite in the gambling
Speaker 2: world and in this world that they come out. Speaking
Speaker 2: of NFL running backs, they there's a couple in this game.
Speaker 1: Judkins.
Speaker 2: He gets the first touchdown in the first quarter, and
Speaker 2: again like Texas is in survival mode. It's like you're
Speaker 2: watching Ohio State and they clearly feel like the better team.
Speaker 2: They get a penalty on their next drive and it
Speaker 2: ends up being the theme of their next few drives.
Speaker 2: They constantly were setting themselves back second in twenty four
Speaker 2: second and twenty that Texas.
Speaker 1: They put a.
Speaker 2: Drive together right before the half, a nice wheel route
Speaker 2: touchdown pass to Jaden Blue fun name that Texas ties
Speaker 2: it up at seven going into the half. There's twenty
Speaker 2: nine seconds left. You know, in college football with timeouts
Speaker 2: in the first down, that's a lot of times that
Speaker 2: if Ohio State and their wide receivers can could put
Speaker 2: a couple passes together that you could get a field goal.
Speaker 2: Look right, Texas sends the blitz with everyone else in
Speaker 2: deep coverage, and Ohio State draws up a screenplay that'll
Speaker 2: be remembered in Columbus for a long time. Traveon Henderson
Speaker 2: seventy five yards. Texas. That felt like they survived. They survived.
Speaker 2: They were going to go into halftime tied with this
Speaker 2: team that they didn't really have ground to stand on
Speaker 2: early on, but then they were finding it like their
Speaker 2: defense was playing better. I know the Ohio State penalties
Speaker 2: were happening, but penalties happened when the other team is
Speaker 2: also making place like that's how you get holding penalties.
Speaker 2: That screen pass, it felt like it was over and
Speaker 2: it still wasn't. Texas in the third quarter another touchdown
Speaker 2: pass to Jaden Blue. It's Fourteen's up Ohio State. They
Speaker 2: answer thirteen plays eighty eight yards, finishes with a Judkins
Speaker 2: touchdown twenty one to fourteen.
Speaker 1: Texas. They get it back.
Speaker 2: They're driving there at the one yard line, and that
Speaker 2: was an oh for a lot of people. Ohio State's
Speaker 2: d line defense as a whole has been credible on
Speaker 2: goal line stands, and they do it again. Texas gets
Speaker 2: caught trying to do kind of a trick play, but
Speaker 2: an outside reverse run of sorts clipped up and they
Speaker 2: lose yards on it. They're backed up. It's now fourth down,
Speaker 2: and this is where college football wins that all sports
Speaker 2: do not have. Jack Sawyer looking like a first round
Speaker 2: pick outside linebacker defensive end for Ohio State. He's from Columbus.
Speaker 2: He grew up idolizing Ohio State and everything it's supposed
Speaker 2: to represent. He was the guy that Michigan planted their
Speaker 2: flag on the field and he went and took it
Speaker 2: out and got into a fisticuffs which I don't know,
Speaker 2: led to a lot of good sports commentary. My guy
Speaker 2: Riscilla was on it that he was like, you know what,
Speaker 2: what's Ohio State supposed to do in that situation? He
Speaker 2: lost a football game, Just let him plant a flag
Speaker 2: and celebrate, like, no, go get them quinn Ewers. They
Speaker 2: were freshman roommate. It's together, like what how can you?
Speaker 2: You don't write this stuff and other sports don't really
Speaker 2: have this stuff the college football does. Uh. He takes
Speaker 2: it to the house. The whole place is going bonkers.
Speaker 2: Quinn Ewres is an interesting cat man. He's one of
Speaker 2: those you know I mentioned Jayden Daniels is kind of
Speaker 2: a low polse guy.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: It's almost like Jane Daniels just doesn't have a bad button,
Speaker 2: Like it's just flat or it's fun. Quinn Ewers is
Speaker 2: just like so flat that it's kind of like what's
Speaker 2: going on?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: And he had a couple of tough moments in this game.
Speaker 2: I'm interested to see what he does. I think he'd
Speaker 2: be good to do a transfer year a la bo
Speaker 2: Nicks Jaden. A couple other quarterbacks have done that and
Speaker 2: found success. Could see him doing that as well, But
Speaker 2: it sets up Notre Dame in the Ohio State Buckeyes
Speaker 2: maybe the two most hated fan bases in college football.
Speaker 2: Ohio State's a nine and a half point favorite. Let's see,
Speaker 2: they'll roll the ball out there next Monday, so they've
Speaker 2: more than a week to prepare for each other. And yeah,
Speaker 2: this is just a jake end thought. That could be nothing.
Speaker 2: Definitely is nothing. I still think in twenty years and
Speaker 2: fifty years, we're gonna see a whole other creative side
Speaker 2: to football, because sometimes I see trick plays and I'm
Speaker 2: just like, wait, that's legal. Texas had one in this game.
Speaker 2: What's becoming a popular play is on fourth and short,
Speaker 2: having the tight end take the snap and do a
Speaker 2: QB sneak. You see it in the NFL, you see
Speaker 2: it at the college level. Texas did one where they
Speaker 2: had Arch manning in the game. The tight end comes
Speaker 2: in motion, he goes behind the center to take the
Speaker 2: fourth and one snap. They snapped it through his legs
Speaker 2: to Arch behind him. Arch took it ran for the
Speaker 2: first down. And for me, that's just a moment of like,
Speaker 2: we can get so much more creativity in offensive football.
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's trick plays when you see like Okay, the
Speaker 2: interior lineman can go out for the pass, but the
Speaker 2: outside linemen couldn't because of how they're aligned. And it's like,
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a kooky high school coach
Speaker 2: that starts pressing more of those buttons, and you're gonna
Speaker 2: start seeing more of that. At the same time, my
Speaker 2: buddies in the group chat, we're pretty pissed off that
Speaker 2: there are some coordinators calm plays this weekend. You know,
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers kind of end around play that one kind
Speaker 2: of ended their season. They were kind of in control
Speaker 2: of that game. That you gotta be careful when you
Speaker 2: push that button in how you execute, and it's why
Speaker 2: a lot of football guys say, no, we're not doing
Speaker 2: that crap. Put the heavy boys in front, let's run
Speaker 2: it behind him and yehaw, And there's probably a reason
Speaker 2: they do that, and there's probably a reason I'm not
Speaker 2: a football coach. But there will be more creativity coming.
Speaker 1: I see that. So that's your football weekend.
Speaker 2: So a little Rokie at the start, a live Rokie update.
Speaker 1: We'll see if.
Speaker 2: Anything goes on. Braggy Pete Santander. There's still runs to
Speaker 2: be had out there, and there's a few. There's some pitching,
Speaker 2: a lot of fun back end guys out there that
Speaker 2: a lot of those guys are going to find a
Speaker 2: home before spring training. You wonder if anyone lingers our guy,
Speaker 2: like our Jack Flaherty who's looking for his number. Does
Speaker 2: he wait for an injury or two to lead camp?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: We'll find out soon. We'll find out with BBD's uncle,
Speaker 2: Weikul
Speaker 3: Jack his production of Daan Patrick Production, Humble Media and
Speaker 3: Workhouse Media.
