1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: It's only fitting that an absolutely chaotic year of college

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: football brings us all the way down to the wire

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: with conference championship games that actually do matter, no matter

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: how much some people want to tell you none of

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: it does. The fact is the College Football Playoff Committee

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: is watching, the College Football Committee is judging, and right.

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: Now things could get a little bit hairy.

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: He's Buck Rising, I'm Jason Fitzbucket fits on Fox Sports Radio.

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 3: All right, what do we think? Buck?

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: I came into this as an agent of chaos and

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: a lover of all things absolutely awful. I wanted as

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: much chaos for the committee to work out as possible.

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: Now, b why you got there?

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: Buz whooped earlier today by Texas Tech. We'll get to

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: that in a minute, But right now we're sitting at

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing in the SEC championship game. Georgia had

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: a couple of drives near the end of the first half.

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: I thought they were gonna make it twenty one nothing.

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: At the half. Do you believe is there any shot

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: with this game? Right now?

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: At fourteen nothing? Let's say it's just Denz will be jen.

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Let's say it ends up thirty eight nothing. All right,

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: let's just see that this ends up on absolute thumping.

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: Any chance Alabama gets left out.

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a chance? Sure?

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: And I think Greg Sankee would immediately, you know, call

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: a deaf con one situation and start campaigning the way

29
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 4: that Nick Saban did a couple of years ago when

30
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: Alabama was getting ready to get left off and change

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: the entire landscape of college sports again, just to make

32
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 4: sure that the SEC can keep status quo in their minds.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not a good showing by Alabama. Georgia

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: hasn't been overwhelming, and there's a chance that Alabama could

35
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: come back in this game and make it competitive fun well,

36
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just saying Georgia is not Georgia is

37
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: not what we typically associate with them. As far as

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: their defense goes, They're one of their biggest weaknesses is

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: the inability to affect the quarterback. Now, they've been effective

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: enough tonight and Alabama hasn't really threatened them, and Alabama's

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: kind of looked fraud I would argue for the past

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: month of the regular season, and there was just no

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: scenario fitsy in which I thought Kirby Smart was going

44
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: to live. Do you know Kirby Smart is zero to

45
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: two against Kaylen de Boer coming into today.

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: That is wild, That is I did not know that,

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: and you say it, it makes sense.

48
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel right.

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel right.

50
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: And so there was no way when they were going

51
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: to see each other twice in the same season where

52
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 4: I thought that Kirby Smart and the way that this

53
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: Georgia team was ascending as it felt like Alabama was

54
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 4: slightly descending, despite you know, managing the situation and still

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: finishing ten and two in the best conference in college football.

56
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: I just didn't think there was any way where Kirby

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: Smart was going to lose twice in the same season

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: to Kaylen de boor.

59
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Well, look, when there's very little you can trust in

60
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: the college football season so far, I trust coaches that

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: have won national championships, and I think we forget sometimes

62
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: at Kirby's one of the few in the sports that

63
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: have done that.

64
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: Now, there's just a lot on the line. To the

65
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: eye test.

66
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Number one, I want to remind everybody that this is

67
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: the one weekend of the year where the College Football

68
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: Playoff Committee and don't don't nobody could tell me why.

69
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't understand this at all. But this is the

70
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: only weekend of the year where the college football Playoff

71
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Committee all sits together in one room as they watch

72
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: the games. What else should they do? Like if yours

73
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: I realize they all have other jobs. But if you

74
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: are taking this position to be on the college football

75
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Playoff committee and you don't even have to be in

76
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: the same room as everybody I have alread, tell me that.

77
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: But we are getting everybody in the same room for

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: this weekend. So to me, when you have everybody in

79
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: the same room and Ty Simpson has an absolutely awful

80
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: first half, I mean a.

81
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 3: Couple of those.

82
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: I won't necessarily blame one of the picks on him,

83
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: but he hasn't been accurate. I think he was five

84
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: to twelve in the first half was the number, and

85
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: now so far in the second half, they're facing a

86
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: third and long already. It's just this is not if

87
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: this was the game where you thought Ty Simpson was

88
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: going to show everybody that he is the type.

89
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: Quarterback that you should spend a top five draft pick on.

90
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: I watched this and say, this is more of the

91
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: type of game that shows you that Ty Simpson just

92
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: needs more time, and that's okay, that's okay.

93
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: You know, if the committee is.

94
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: Watching this together and they're watching this Georgia defense man

95
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: handle the line of scrimmage, and they're watching this Georgia

96
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: defense make Ty Simpson uncomfortable at every turn.

97
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: Now, I hear you.

98
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: Alabama could come back, and then this could all look

99
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: foolish by the time we get off air. I think

100
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: there's a much better chance that this game gets out

101
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: of hand. And that's where a third loss, a third

102
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: I know conference championship games shouldn't count against him, but

103
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: when we are right on the bubble and there's gonna

104
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: be some bid thieves, a third loss just feels like

105
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: it's at least worthy of a discussion.

106
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: Oh sure, especially when Texas has three losses and is

107
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: actively campaigning. In this situation, now I am curious. And

108
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: it's almost as soon as I said it that the

109
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: Georgia defense doesn't hasn't been successfully getting pressure on people

110
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: this year, that Georgia gets a sack and forces Alabama

111
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: into fourth and eighteen and makes them punt in this

112
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: situation as we start the second half here, So you know,

113
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 4: just because things haven't gone a certain way all season long,

114
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that they can't still happen in a single

115
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: game sample size, which is always something that college football

116
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 4: in particular subjects us to. But a three loss Alabama team,

117
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: it would be the conversation then how far would they drop?

118
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: And what happens here with Indiana. Indiana I'm assuming is

119
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: going to lose to Ohio State. I would love if

120
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: my alma mater got it done in the Big Ten Championship.

121
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: I just think that if the Penn State game for

122
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: them was the moment where they almost stubbed their toe

123
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: against a very much more talented football team and Mendoza

124
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: had his Heisman moment and Omar Cooper in the back

125
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 4: of the end zone and the whole thing, right, I

126
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 4: feel like today is the day where Ohio State finally

127
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 4: bridges that talent gap and says, no, we just simply

128
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 4: have better horses than you. So, assuming that things go

129
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 4: chalk the rest of the way through the evening, we'll

130
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: see what happens in the ACC Championship game, which is,

131
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: by the way, one of the weirdest ACC Championship games

132
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 4: in my lifetime. Duke and Virginia, it's just Bizarro world

133
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: that college football has us and it's specifically in that conference.

134
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: So we'll see what the fallout from today's games are,

135
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: and then what the conversation is around the teams that

136
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: drop back further. Obviously, by you not able to enact

137
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: the chaos scenario, so BYU losing helps Notre Dame get in.

138
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 4: At this point in time, what is the conversation then

139
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: going to be around Notre Dame in Miami, Miami not

140
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: playing in the conference championship game, of course, much to

141
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: the much to the just anger general venom of Miami

142
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 4: fans at this point in time, I think Alabama sitting

143
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: at nine as we sit here today and looking down

144
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: the barrel of a third loss on the season, they

145
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: very much have the potential of getting left out here,

146
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: and I think Bama fans would freak the holy hell out.

147
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: This is where it gets complicated, because you're right, Alabama's

148
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: nine currently, Notre Dame is ten, BYU is eleven, Miami

149
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: is twelve. I'm telling everybody that because I heard Herbie

150
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: earlier in the broadcast talking about BYU getting their ASCID

151
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: is just kicked. Will that be enough that they do

152
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: a flip flop and put Miami in eleven.

153
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: Why would that be significant?

154
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: Because if Miami goes to eleven, now you have a

155
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: head to head conversation about number ten Notre Dame versus

156
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: number eleven Miami, knowing that Miami has the head to

157
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: head win, but the committee hasn't cared about that. We

158
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: all know that, So then is there a chance that

159
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: Miami leap frog's Notre Dame? All of this I keep

160
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: looking at and saying, yeah, but what happens if Alabama.

161
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: I've been screaming this all week on Mayahu show, what

162
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: happens if Alabama just gets thumped? Because if Alabama gets

163
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: thumped and all they do is fall into that next

164
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: level conversation, well, knowing that they group these things in threes,

165
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: is it enough to suddenly put Alabama as they vote

166
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: on them, is it enough to suddenly put Alabama Notre

167
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: Dame in Miami in the same conversation? And then you

168
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: would have a three loss Alabama team versus a two

169
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: loss Notre Dame team and a two loss Miami team

170
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how to make common sense out

171
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: of all of that. All Alabama really has to do is,

172
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: through that process fall to number eleven and they'll be

173
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: left out again. I gotta stress to everybody that may

174
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: not cover college football or follow college football right now,

175
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: it's the top five conference champions. Ranked conference champions all

176
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: get a guaranteed bid. They don't get a guaranteed buy anymore,

177
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: but they get a guaranteed bid. So in all likehood

178
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: of Virginia wins this wild ACC Championship game, they will

179
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: be one of those. Well, they're not currently a top

180
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: twelve team, so they become a bid thief. But you

181
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: also have to put in the highest ranked group of

182
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: five at this point, which is not currently ranked in

183
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: the top twelve. So your number eleven and twelve teams

184
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: are going to get left out of this. Alabama's currently

185
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: number nine, and that's where it gets precious. All they

186
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: got to do is fall to eleven if they get

187
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: their butts kicked, and these things get really, really, really

188
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: tough for them, because and look, I don't know that

189
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: I want a college football world in some ways where

190
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 2: I'm looking at two Lane or North Texas instead of Alabama.

191
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: What world do we really believe that those are better

192
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: football teams than Bama?

193
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 4: Oh well, and it's I mean, and here here we

194
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: go in a situation where Georgia has gotten on the

195
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: board yet again, it seems not you are touchdown run

196
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: by Nate Fraser to just continue to widen that gap fitsye.

197
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: To your point about the scenario one where Alabama, Yeah,

198
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: I mean this is this is the scenario, or at

199
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: least one of the scenarios where you were just talking.

200
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 4: Demore looks like he's sweating at Bama fans are apoplectic

201
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 4: in the stands at this point in time, or at

202
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: least the television broadcast is showing them as I'm watching

203
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: that here in the studio in Cleveland. By the way,

204
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: many thanks to the people that I heart in Cleveland

205
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: for making my travel a little more easy so that

206
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: they could accommodate the show today. Yes, I very much

207
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 4: appreciate them. I'm here for the toilet baltimorrow between sdor

208
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 4: se Anders and km Ord. It'll be a great time.

209
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: But this scenario is the worst case scenario for Alabama,

210
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: And so I think again, if we're talking about a

211
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: scenario fitsie. And I actually didn't know that until you

212
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: said it, and you obviously with your time at ESPN

213
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: and going through the mock selection committee and all these

214
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: different things, have a greater understanding of the actual the

215
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: way that the actual sausage is made, far more than

216
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: the average you know, college football fan who's probably still

217
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 4: tracking this thing at great length and hanging on every

218
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 4: word that Hunter Yurachek says, and these awful teleconferences or

219
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: television appearances that he does. It just makes absolutely no

220
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: damn sense what he says. The thing for me is

221
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: what you pointed out about the committee watching these games

222
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: all together, and how much I almost like that they

223
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: don't watch the games all together before this because it

224
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 4: allows them to have independent thought, and then they come

225
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 4: together after the fact and they debate amongst themselves. If

226
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: they are now watching these things, these conference championship games collectively,

227
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 4: I think there's far more opportunity for group think. And

228
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 4: if the group thing is man that Alabama team's kind

229
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: of stinky, maybe we should just drop them out of

230
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: the playoff all together, then that starts to infect the

231
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: entire process, which I don't think most people would have considered.

232
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: I think most people would have assumed one that they're

233
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: watching these things together and that that compare and contrast

234
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 4: happens in real time.

235
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: I almost think it's it's not a good thing.

236
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because I've even asked former committee chairs.

237
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: I've never talked to yuro A check. But during my time.

238
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: At ESPN, I hosted our digital playoff rankings reaction show

239
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: every year, and so right after Reese got to talk

240
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: to the committee chair, I got to talk to the

241
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: committee chair. I got to go down to sit in

242
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: the room and talk to all of the committee members,

243
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: and you really get to go through the process. I'm

244
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: so thankful for the education and opportunity that I got

245
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: during that process. But what's interesting during that process to

246
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: me at some level, as I've even asked the committee chair, hey,

247
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: how do you track how much football some of these

248
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: guys are watching? Because there have been previous committees where

249
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: I genuinely question, Okay, are we Is it like the

250
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: NFL where they can they can look at the iPads

251
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: and know exactly how much time. Never got a straight

252
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: answer on that, right, So to me, my fear has

253
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: always been, Okay, some guys are just watching on the

254
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: plane while they're flying in to the Gaylord, Texan.

255
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 3: I don't love that as an optic but I do.

256
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: Appreciate what you're saying about group think because certainly, football guy,

257
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: and I am saying football guy in the way that

258
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 2: it sounds like a snarkily football guy can control a

259
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: room when we're talking about these games. Right, So football

260
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: guy right now, and that's the guy I always worry

261
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: about in these committees or think of.

262
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: In these committees. Football guy is screaming about the line

263
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: of scrimmage.

264
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Football guy is screaming about the fact that Alabama AMA's

265
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: offensive line isn't good enough, that the quarterback is having

266
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: a hard time with the pressure, that he hasn't played

267
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: enough game.

268
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: Football guy has got a feast at twenty one.

269
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: Nothing right, And so it just gets It depends on

270
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: what you want, because ultimately, if you like the system

271
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: the way it is, then you need Alabama to pull

272
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: closer in this game. If you want total chaos where

273
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: they have to re examine all of it, then we

274
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: could get that scenario. And the reason I root for

275
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: that is because I'm a purist that wants twelve best.

276
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: Not everybody agrees with this, buck, but like I want

277
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 2: the twelve best teams, and I don't care if all

278
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: twelve teams come from one conference. I don't care if

279
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: ten of them come from a conference. I don't care

280
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: if the SEC gets nobody in. I don't have a

281
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: favorite team, so I don't give a damn. I want

282
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: twelve best. The problem is when you try and always

283
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: find a way to include everybody, you end up including

284
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: teams that simply don't belong. So I talk all the

285
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: time to people to cover college football that disagree with

286
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: me and think my head is wildly up my rear

287
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: end I acquiesced to that. But the fact is, like

288
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 2: last year, it was easy because Boise State had Ashton

289
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: Genty and everybody wanted to see Ashton Genty.

290
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: In the playoffs, so that was cool.

291
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: Nobody is sitting around right now saying, oh my god,

292
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: I can't wait for that first round playoff matchup that's

293
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: going to end up being two Lane versus Oregon.

294
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: Like is who wants that, you know?

295
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: And especially when we do have in Alabama that is

296
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: in this situation and a Texas that is being left out,

297
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: in a Vandy that's being left out, actual competent college

298
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: football teams that could give us better games. So I'm

299
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: rooting for disruption because frankly, Virginia TWU Lane, James Madison Duke,

300
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: Boise State these are not teams that I want to

301
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: see in the playoffs this year because just in my

302
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: general core, I don't believe they're amongst the top twelve

303
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: fifteen teams in the country.

304
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

305
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: I get that on principle if we were doing this

306
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: thing in a vacuum. But I do think, you know,

307
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 4: the whole purpose of expanding the postseason not just to

308
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: generate more revenue, although that is the primary reason why

309
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: all of these things exists. It's why Hunter you're a

310
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 4: check is talking Terese Davis on a Tuesday night, to

311
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: just continue to expand college football and the conversation around

312
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: it and the inventory that they can put on television

313
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: and slab sponsorship on the way that all this stuff works.

314
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: We understand this, but I do think that you still

315
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: have to, you know, you have to give people attainable

316
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: goals in the expanded playoff and some of these smaller

317
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: programs that you're talking about. No, I do not expect

318
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 4: James Madison should they make it into the College Football

319
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: Playoff when one of these final two bids to have

320
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: any kind of real upset potential. Right, We're probably going

321
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: to see a lot of first round slaughters. The way

322
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: that we did last year the first time around with

323
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 4: what would Indiana notre name, I think ended up being

324
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: the closest margin of defeat of any of those games,

325
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: and that really wasn't ever in doubt as we worked

326
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: our way through the first round in the first weekend

327
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 4: of the college football playoff stuff. But at the end

328
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: of the day, you want to you want to hold

329
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 4: true to what you are saying at your core, which

330
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: is twelve best teams. There are no twelve best teams,

331
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: right or at least within the context of can twelve

332
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,239
Speaker 4: teams are twelve teams capable of winning a national championship?

333
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: Of course not. We're just doing a lot of.

334
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: This for window dressing and then give us an extra

335
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: weekend of meaningful football or quote unquote meaningful football, when

336
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: in reality, if you're having any conversation about a national

337
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: championship contender that doesn't include Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, or

338
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 4: Texas Tech, the rest of these programs don't matter. That's

339
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: why you know, I'm I feel bad for Vanderbilt because

340
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: Vandy is you know, they're trying to do super desperate

341
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: and thirsty things like play a thirteenth game to just

342
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 4: prove to the committee one more time that they're worthy

343
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: of being in it and whatever. But like, at the

344
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: end of the day, beat Alabama and Texas and you

345
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: are in the college football playoff and it's not a

346
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: discussion Like that's just not it's not a sound argument

347
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,359
Speaker 4: to me if you're trying to advocate as the fourteenth

348
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 4: or the twelfth ranked team team in the country that

349
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 4: you should legitimately be considered as a national championship contender

350
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 4: when we understand we're just talking about fourteens.

351
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's less about a championship, just wanting

352
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: to have that fun of a playoff game. But you're right,

353
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: he's Buck Rising, I'm Jason Fitz. We're just getting started

355
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: blowout twenty one to nothing.

356

390
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Wildly as that commercial is playing, my dynamic

391
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 2: ad placement on YouTube. TV is giving me the Charlie

392
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: Brown Christmas Special ad with no sound on me because

393
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: we're doing radio. So all I just see is the

394
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: Peanuts Gang dancing around to Christmas music with a piano

395
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: while this was playing. And now I'm never going to

396
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: not giggle about frozen grapes when I see the Charlie

397
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: Brown Christmas Special.

398
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: That's a that's now part of the Christmas tradition.

399
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 4: Brother frozen grapes around the around the tree, frozen grapes

400
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 4: with the Peanuts Gang.

401
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: Are you a big Charlie Brown Christmas Special guy?

402
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 4: When is the last time I've seen a Charlie Brown Special?

403
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: I think it.

404
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 4: I think it has to I think not since I

405
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 4: was like a small child. We're probably talking twenty five

406
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 4: years here at this point in time.

407
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: Well here's the thing too, though, Like I mean, Apple

408
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: TV has stolen it from everybody, I mean acquired it.

409
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 3: They didn't steal it. The paid for it.

410
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: So if you're a big fan of it, it's got

411
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: much much, much, much much more difficult to watch it

412
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: unless you choose to subscribe to Apple TV.

413
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 3: So there you go.

414
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: The ACC Championship game might be the most convoluted, just

415
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: stupid thing I've seen in a long time. A five

416
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: way tie for first place in the conference puts Duke

417
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: in the ACC Championship Game taking place tonight against Virginia

418
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 2: Duke instead of number twelve currently in the College Football

419
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: Playoff ranked Miami. This is all the more reason that

420
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: I just want to get rid of conference championship games.

421
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: Or if they don't want to get rid of conference

422
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: championship games, how's this for a suggestion, Buck, you're ready

423
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: for this? The conference champion or the conference commissioner of

424
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: every conference can pick the two teams that go into

425
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: the conference championship game, and that way the ACC can

426
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: turn around and say, you know what, here are the

427
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: two teams we need in order to try and get ourselves,

428
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: and like turn it into a glorified playing game to

429
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: make sure you get your best teams in the college

430
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: football play if it'll never happen, but something's broken if

431
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: you get seven and five Duke playing Virginia for the

432
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: ACC Conference championship game when you have the twelfth ranked

433
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: team in the country sitting at home.

434
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: Did you see this?

435
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: Somebody sent it to me the other day because I

436
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 4: hadn't seen it organically. John Gruden tries sitting down for

437
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 4: six and a half minutes in front of a camera

438
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 4: and like diagnosing all the things that are wrong with

439
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: college football and conferences college football playoff in the selection committee.

440
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 4: It's actually very I mean not that Gruden's not capable

441
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 4: of this, but it's very well thought out.

442
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: It's very compelling, and in.

443
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 4: A scenario where people, I think you and I have

444
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 4: talked about this before, people are just bitching about all

445
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: the different things that are wrong with the scenarios rather

446
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 4: than trying to articulate a plan that actually makes sense,

447
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 4: a plan that's viable moving forward.

448
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: I thought that Gruden.

449
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure somebody smarter than I could poke more holes

450
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: in it, but I thought Gruden did a pretty good

451
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 4: job with that, because this is this is the problem, right,

452
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 4: and the ACC seems to face it more than any

453
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 4: other conference at least that I can think of, where

454
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 4: it's just kind of a it's just kind of something

455
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 4: that comes along with modern college football when you have

456
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: conference realignment and the conferences are just jam packed full

457
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: of programs at this point in time because of the

458
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 4: money grab that everybody's everybody's trying to piece in part

459
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: A tear a piece off of where Rutgers is in

460
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: the Big ten and Maryland is in the Big ten

461
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 4: and all the kind of nonsense things that don't make

462
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 4: any actual sense. Geographically, you're gonna get limited crossover between

463
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: these teams, which is gonna give you all these crazy

464
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: kind of tiebreaker scenarios, which has come to pass this year.

465
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: Why Duke is in the ACC Championship game, it's I

466
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 4: don't think and I've read. I've tried to read up

467
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: on this as best as humanly possible so I could

468
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 4: understand a bit more. And David Hale did a good

469
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: job on ESPN kind of diagnosing the ACC system and

470
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: why it's not that much different than other conferences, but

471
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: why it still comes out with a lot of these results.

472
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: And if you're looking at.

473
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: Duke, I mean, they went six and two in the ACC,

474
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: so there's there's a there's an argument to be made

475
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: for them, but it's just there's so many different parts

476
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 4: of this where if you want chaos, like you claim to,

477
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 4: just pure chaos and nothing else, no rooting interest or otherwise,

478
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: the ACC is the conference for you, brother, because they

479
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: will put your head in a blender trying to figure

480
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 4: out who belongs in their championship game every year.

481
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: Well, look, no doubt, and to David Hill's point, for

482
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: anyone that didn't see the Mountain West had to go

483
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: to a computer to decide how they were who was

484
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: taking on Poise State in the Mountain West Championship. The

485
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: computer spit out, unlv it took that much to try

486
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: and figure it out. When you get into these tiebreakers,

487
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: I get it. I don't think there's an easy solution.

488
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: Where it becomes problematic is if you're the ACC and

489
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: you're left out of this.

490
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: Thing one time.

491
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: Number One, you've opened up the can of worms of

492
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: the possibility of being perceived in a way where you'll

493
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: be left out all the time. Number Two, you are

494
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: going to face a financial problem because you're not getting

495
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: some of the cut of that college football playoff, which

496
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: is a real reason everybody wants to be in it.

497
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: Number Three, every recruit in the country is now going

498
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: to be as teams recruit against you, they're gonna go say,

499
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: don't play in the ACC if you want to play

500
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: for a national championship. I mean, just the trickle down effect.

501
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: And then just the fact that some of the biggest

502
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 2: brands that are supposed to save the conference simply aren't

503
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: good enough. All become an issue. Let's get you caught

504
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: up on the SEC Championship game and everything going on

505
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: across the landscape.

506
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 6: Right now, Martin, what's going on? Got us call it up, brother,

507
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 6: right now? Chaos is going on. It looks like Kirby

508
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 6: Smart and Georgia Bulldogs. It's been all Georgia thus far

509
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 6: in the SEC Championship game. Just under four minutes left

510
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 6: in the third quarter, twenty one to nothing Bulldogs. They

511
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 6: have the ball and they're driving his second and one

512
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: now for Georgia right around midfield gunners. Stockton's got two

513
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 6: touchdown passes, Nate Fraser's got a touchdown.

514
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 8: Run, Dylan Bell with a touchdown.

515
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, yeah too, touchdown, had two touchdown passes, A

516
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: Phrase with touchdown run, Dyl Bell touchdown catch, And it's

517
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 6: been all Georgia thus far in the SEC Championship. Big

518
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 6: twelve Championship was pretty much the same story. Texas Tech

519
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 6: won thirty four to seven over BYU. Texas Tech likely

520
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 6: securying a buy in the upcoming College Football Playoff. BYU

521
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 6: led that game seven to nothing and didn't score after that.

522
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 6: They'll likely miss the college football playoff fall after losing

523
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 6: that matchup, Iowa State was one of the first teams

524
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 6: to fire their head.

525
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 8: Coach this year.

526
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 6: They finally hire Iowa State's Matt Campbell eight year deal

527
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 6: for Matt Campbell to leave Iowa State. He was the

528
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 6: winningest coach in cyclone street Man's College basketball. Tenth ranked

529
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 6: Iowa State beat per Due eighty one to fifty eight's

530
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 6: the worst home lost ever for a number one ranked team.

531
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 6: Fourth rank Duke beats seventh rank Michigan State sixty six

532
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 6: to sixty and sixth rength Moival beat twenty second ranked

533
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 6: Indiana eighty seven to seventy eight. Michigan beat Rutgers one

534
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 6: oh one to sixty. The third ranked Wolverines undefeated.

535
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 8: Still on the year and in the NFL.

536
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 6: Chargers expect North Carolina Former North Carolina running back o

537
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 6: Mario Hampton the rookie to return to the line of

538
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 6: Monday Night football against the Eagles. It's one nineteen to

539
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 6: ten in the rushing yard matchup between Georgia and Alabama.

540
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 6: Make that about one twenty four to ten.

541
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: Back to you boys, Oh, this game is just absolutely

542
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: getting out of control.

543
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: We will keep you updated on it.

544
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,320

Speaker 2: about me, Buck, They would only say that about you,

555
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: good sir, because you were in Cleveland.

556
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: I feel like.

557
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 4: Just sideswipe me right away. Also, the citive Cleveland is fine.

558
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: Like I'm great.

559
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 4: I'm not down on Cleveland as a place tonight. In fact,

560
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 4: I was pleasantly surprised when I got off the airplane

561
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 4: a couple of hours ago that it was not miserable here. Now,

562
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 4: this football game that I'm getting credit to cover tomorrow

563
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 4: between the Titans and the Browns, it figures to be

564
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: a little more miserable, just in terms of the quality

565
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 4: of football on the field. If nothing else God helped

566
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 4: cam mored Miles. Garrett is four sacks away from the

567
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 4: single season sack record, and he may well just break

568
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 4: it in the game tomorrow and just keep on rolling

569
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 4: and continue to set the bar impossibly high because he's

570
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 4: the most freakish defensive end I've ever seen in my life.

571
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: Ask you this.

572
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: We we joke often that you are covering the Tennessee Titans,

573
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: and that is a uh that is not right. I get,

574
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 2: And I've heard a lot of jokes about this game

575
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: that you are covering. I would argue that this game

576
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 2: between the Browns and the Titans is one of the

577
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: more significant games actually of the weekend. You can suck

578
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: and still have significant storylines. In fact, for anyone that

579
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: didn't see this, this week, Google released the list of

580
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: the most searched athletes in the world. Number one was

581
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 2: Shadoor Sanders chado Or Sanders, with the fifth most searched

582
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: person on Google, fifth most searched person overall, Shadoor Sanders

583
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: and I can be here before.

584
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: You go on. I'm sorry, yeah, I can you explain

585
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 4: that to me? I am I just ignorant, and it's

586
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: not like I'm not down on him or anything like that, Like,

587
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: I have no feelings about him whatsoever. I'm so I'm

588
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: so perplexed by people's anger. I don't know if you

589
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: saw recently that the sister of Josina Anderson was sending

590
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 4: threatening messages to a Browns beat writer who's been actually

591
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 4: pretty favorable in the coverage of Stood or Standers, just

592
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 4: because Shudor feels like, you know, there's a component of

593
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: the population that feels like shad Or Sanders is being

594
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 4: preyed upon or like actively held down. And there's another

595
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 4: portion of the population that hates him because they hate

596
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 4: his dad, and they hate the attitude, and they hate

597
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: the brashness and all these different things, Like I have

598
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: no feelings about this human being whatsoever.

599
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: Make that make sense to me.

600
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: I saw it over the summer with Yahoo.

601
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: Every time we would say anything about Shadur, it suddenly

602
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: became just the comments, just the views everything.

603
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: And look, when I first started with Yahoo.

604
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: We were doing late night college football reaction videos and

605
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: Shador and Dion together at Colorado. The numbers were so

606
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: big on it, we decided it was worse staying up

607
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: until two in the morning just to do a reaction

608
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: to Colorado think about how much we were talking about

609
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: Colorado foot oh yeah, and now think about how much

610
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: we don't so like it tells you right there it

611
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: wasn't Dion. It was this combination of Dion and Shador,

612
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: and then everybody made up their mind. And what's weird

613
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: about the entire Chador situation is that once conspiracy theorists

614
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: and pop culture get involved, can't you can't bog a

615
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists down with details like you can convince a

616
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorist of another conspiracy theory every time, you can't

617
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: convince them of the facts. And so what you have

618
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 2: are people that don't know oftentimes that don't even watch sports,

619
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: that have no idea how rosters work or management works,

620
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: or as we saw reps with the ones where people

621
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 2: don't know this information and they're reacting with such outrage

622
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: to every single.

623
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: Thing that happens.

624
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: So if he's getting snaps, it's outraged to the people

625
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: that are anti Shador, If he's not getting snaps, it's

626
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: outraged the people that are pro Shador, and all along

627
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: the way.

628
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 3: My question is how much Shador have you even watched?

629
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: Like I, because of my job, I watched his entire

630
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: body of work in college football. Because of my draft coverage,

631
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: I watched all of the every throw of Shador's college

632
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: career I've watched.

633
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: I was surprised he fell down to the fifth round.

634
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: I was.

635
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was a gross injustice. I didn't

636
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: think it was some sort of Oh my god, I

637
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: was surprised. But all of a sudden, in that moment,

638
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: people that don't even know a thing about football became

639
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: opinionated about this man. And the minute that happened, it

640
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: became about something more than football, And that's that's weird.

641
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: Like, I don't even know how you like. I would

642
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: love to sit down with.

643
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: A group of people that are super opinionated on Shadur

644
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: with a pop quiz and just hand them the pop

645
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: quiz that asks twenty basic questions about quarterback development in

646
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: the NFL and see how many people even understand it.

647
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: And if you don't understand.

648
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: It, then, like, just just shut up and listen long

649
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: enough to form actual real opinions. I don't think anybody

650
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 2: on either side's listening. It's a little like our modern

651
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: political climate. I'd rather yell at you than listen to.

652
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: What you have to say.

653
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 6: Fitz if I could real quick, I don't mean to interrupt,

654
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 6: but you guys started this asking how could Shador Sanders

655
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 6: be the most googled athlete in America?

656
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 8: Buck said, make this make sense to me.

657
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 6: The last the next last three minutes, you guys have

658
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 6: explained why because there's so many questions that people have

659
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 6: around him. He's more I would say, the first celebrity

660
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 6: quarterback that we've had that is like more celebrity than quarterback.

661
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 6: Every other quarterback we've had has been a celebrity because

662
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 6: he's been a great quarterback, and then a celebrity grows

663
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 6: from there, Sir Doris Sanders, celebrity grew from a place

664
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 6: of like almost like you can have George Clooney celebrity

665
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 6: group because he's.

666
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 8: A great actor.

667
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 6: There's other people who are celebrities because they're on reality TV.

668
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 6: That doesn't mean that they're great actors by any stretch,

669
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 6: but people still are interested in what they're doing.

670
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: And what about TBO? I mean Tibo is my first counter.

671
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: Like I remember when Tebow came out when the band

672
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: was opening for Brad Paisley, t BO came out on

673
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: stage and the entire audience and everybody on stage t

674
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: boat like it was a whole funt like t bowing

675
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: was a consultant social media phenomenon like, but it was

676
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: done with less with less outrage. Wasn't it like when

677
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: there were certain people that thought Tebow.

678
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: Was religious component, Yeah, that's that. There was always good.

679
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: People people thought that that was being held again, but

680
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 3: it wasn't the same, was it?

681
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 5: Like?

682
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: Am I remembering that wrong book?

683
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: No?

684
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: I mean you would have a better recollection of that

685
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: than I would. I. Okay again, ignorance here hand up

686
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 4: this This may be explaining why why I don't understand

687
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 4: was he on reality TV?

688
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: TMO or.

689
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: No?

690
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: No, he wasn't on reality TV at all? Like where

691
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: did it start from? Why did it?

692
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: Then? What am I?

693
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 8: Then?

694
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 4: I guess I was confused by the analogy because Martin

695
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 4: Martin Martin was what did I did? I screw that up?

696
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: Like I thought you were saying that he was on

697
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: reality TV, which is why he's a celebrity.

698
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 8: Well to the point of being on reality TV.

699
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 6: He's on like the gen Z version of reality TV,

700
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 6: which is YouTube. Like his YouTube page, there's millions of followers,

701
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 6: and they were broadcasting and twitching and now, Okay, so.

702
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 4: He's just one of these things like where we're just

703
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: creating famous people that people don't actually know.

704
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 6: But my point was, like my point was that like

705
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 6: if you look at like historically Brad Pitt or George

706
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 6: Clooney or even Morgan Freeman, any of these famous actors,

707
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 6: you know, you know them because they're great at acting,

708
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 6: right the same way that you would the same reason why.

709
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 8: You know who Dan Marino is.

710
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 6: You know him because you was a great quarterback and

711
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 6: that was what makes him relevant. However, you have tons

712
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 6: of people now in just the sphere of the world,

713
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 6: right when you talk about the most Google people, tons

714
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 6: of people in the sphere of the world who are

715
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 6: not necessarily great actors or anything, but they're on a

716
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 6: reality TV? Are there a Twitch streamer? Are there this

717
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 6: person that makes them like, I don't know who I

718
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 6: Show Speed is, but I know he's not the fastest

719
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 6: person in the world, right, I know that, but I

720
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 6: know that people watch more of him than they do

721
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 6: actual the fastest people in the world. There's like something

722
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 6: about that good.

723
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: That's a good example though, Like is anybody sitting here

724
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: saying why is I Show Speed not on the Olympic.

725
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: Team, like why did that transfer over?

726
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 8: Why?

727
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: Is like, as I get you, that's a really good

728
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: point that you know, frankly, they were so wildly certain,

729
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: like he is so wildly known. But people aren't in

730
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: an uproar about the nation trying to hold him back

731
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: if he's not on the US Olympic team, are they.

732
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's a there's also a component of I

733
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 4: think the relationship. And I'm not qualified to speak on this,

734
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 4: but I you know, I just try to take away

735
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 4: from conversations that I have with other people who are

736
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 4: trying to Again I'm people, many people have tried to

737
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 4: explain this entire phenomenon to me, and I just I

738
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 4: simply can't wrap my head around it.

739
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know.

740
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 4: Uh, but the dynamic between Dion and Chadour and the

741
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: way that Dion uh is a parent to Shador, and

742
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 4: how that is representative to a community, and how people

743
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 4: want to support that, and how people are very defensive

744
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 4: about that when they feel it's under attack. That brings

745
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 4: out an additional level of polarization to it. So I

746
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 4: you know, there's there's a bunch of different dynamics at

747
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 4: play here.

748
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: I guess I'm answering my own question that that are.

749
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: That are kind of coming together to create this just

750
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 4: I mean insane buzz around a person. I mean, he's

751
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: he started to football games in the NFL, Like I'm so,

752
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 4: I'm so utterly confused by I guess not even the

753
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 4: celebrity part of it, but the dialogue around him, because

754
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 4: I think you and I Fitzi at some point the

755
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 4: summer had a similar conversation around angel Reese, where there

756
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: are people with such strong Angeli's opinions that don't actually

757
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 4: watch the Chicago Skuy Like, they don't watch angelries play.

758
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: They don't, you know, they see the clips on social

759
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 4: media and things like that. They may see your tweets

760
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 4: or whatever, and they decide that they're going to have

761
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 4: strong opinions about the player beyond the person.

762
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: And even if you're trying to make an.

763
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 4: Assumption about the person via social media, you're probably doing

764
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 4: it a little off base anyway. But it's just it's

765
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 4: it's people seem to really just enjoy yelling at other

766
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 4: people about this thing that I don't think they're overwhelmingly

767
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 4: informed about.

768
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: It's weird.

769
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: I've never seen a discourse like this about coaches sabotaging

770
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: players from so many people that some are in the

771
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: know and some are smart people, smart people saying stuff licens.

772
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 2: We'll keep breaking it down because there's also an element

773
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: to this game. While this game may not be important,

774
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: that absolutely impacts the beginning of next year's draft. I'll

775
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 2: tell you what it is next. He's Buck Rising. I'm

776
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: Jason fitz bucking Fits on Fox Sports Radio.

777

781
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 3: Pigpen. That's definitely Buck in this scenario, He's pig Pen.

782
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: I'm the piano player.

783
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: Obviously, that makes you one of the dancers. And I

784
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 2: made you Pigpen. I don't You don't seem to appreciate that.

785
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: But I mean, if if there was any one Peanuts

786
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: character that was likely, you know, to eat at a

787
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: Golden Corral, it's Pigpen and that so that makes you Pigpen.

788
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: That's just what happened.

789
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 4: I if I could would reach through this FaceTime screen

790
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: that you and I are currently on, and I would

791
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 4: grab you by your tiny little neck and I would

792
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 4: ring you like like Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson, which

793
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 4: I'm sure is probably not a not a preferred way

794
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 4: of viewing the father Son dynamics, since we were just

795
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: talking about father Son dynamics in the previous segment. Also,

796
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 4: nothing about me indicates unclean, Okay, like I could not

797
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 4: be more opposite of pig.

798
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Pen if you wanted to do.

799
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 4: If you wanted to castigate me with a Peanuts character,

800
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 4: it probably be Linus. Isn't Linus the one with the

801
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 4: security blanket?

802
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

803
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 3: I don't. Is Linus the woman with the blanket?

804
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

805
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking it up here, and yes, I think

806
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: Linus is the one.

807
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: Or Lucy. I feel like i'd be a good Lucy,

808
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: you know what.

809
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: I'm just somebody, please just cut that and put that

810
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: into the futures.

811
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: I feel like i'd be a good Lucy, you know what.

812
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I would. I would hold the football for you.

813
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 4: I would trick you again and again and again into

814
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 4: kicking the football, and because you're more on, you would

815
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 4: go to kick the football every time, and then you'd

816
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 4: be pissed. And I would laugh at you. Thus the

817
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 4: dynamic of our relationship.

818
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: I would be a good lucy.

819
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 3: Now here's what I mean. Nah, you wouldn't think.

820
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: Okay, just no opinion, what whatsoever? No contribution other than

821
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 4: the dead fish in our last marriage.

822
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 3: Nah. Okay, So you don't have the divon this you

823
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: got like you just you know you can't be her.

824
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 4: The diva is Are you kidding me? This is an

825
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 4: attack on my person. I feel like I could not

826
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 4: be more diva if I tried?

827
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: Could Can anyone explain to me this one core part

828
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: of that that's never made sense to me. Charlie Brown

829
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: runs up to the football, The football has moved. He

830
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: goes to kick the football and then he flies through

831
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: the air and lands on his backside.

832
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: Why what powerma?

833
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: And that momentum was all going to be stopped if

834
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: his foot hit Like so, there's only one like the

835
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: football's there, you don't fall, the football moves, you suddenly fall.

836
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: That feels like that that's a very failed logic to me.

837
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: Maybe it's like when Joe Burrow through that through that

838
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 4: pass in the snow that goes viral a couple of

839
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 4: times a year, and he spins around he doesn't need

840
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 4: to spin around. It's not it's not palats, he's not

841
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 4: doesn't need to pirouette margin in that situation.

842
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 3: It's the opposite of young Waiku. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Definitely.

843
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: Cou comes up with just a little bit. It comes

844
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 3: up a little bit, a little short, and.

845
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 4: That had to hurt, like holy hell, right, like, no,

846
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 4: I've done you off. You drag your foot across the

847
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: turf that way like you're coming up with at least

848
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 4: a stub toe.

849
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: That's got to be the worst stub toe in the world.

850
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: This is the only thing that Ku could have ever

851
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: done that would have saved that moment. At that moment,

852
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: he should just say thank you, good night, wave to

853
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: the cameras, and walk off the field into the dress

854
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: like stud walk over. You're like, I'm done. I get it.

855
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 2: My career is over. I should never get to kick again.

856
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: I missed the football by a large amount, and I

857
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: missed it short. Uh.

858
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 3: We do have an update for you. In the SEC

859
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 3: Championship game, we have a score for Bama. So this is.

860
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: Incredibly important because now Bama is down twenty one to

861
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: seven ten minutes to go in this game. I cannot

862
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: stress this enough that is a massive difference twenty one

863
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 2: nothing versus twenty one seven. If the committee's looking at this,

864
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 2: let's see what happens over the course of the last

865
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: nine minutes here. But they just stopped Georgia near midfield,

866
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: and Georgia is going to be punting the ball back

867
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: to Alabama. So Alabama is doing their best to scratch

868
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: and claw their way back into this game. I could

869
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: literally not care less if they win the SEC championship game,

870
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: but this will become key because if they're able to

871
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: sort of make this feel like a closer game in

872
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, that gives the committee everything they need

873
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 2: to keep Bama where they are.

874
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: Love it or hated, Yeah, no, I mean it's kind

875
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 4: of the Kurt Signetti against Ohio State situation last year

876
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 4: right where they played in the regular season Indiana Ohio State, and.

877
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: He was he was very brash, as is.

878
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 4: His nature his custom in those situations, and took some

879
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 4: style points at the end of the game that people

880
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: were quick to point out and laugh at them about.

881
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 4: But again, it matters if you're just trying to secure

882
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 4: a spot.

883
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

884
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: Well, and a muffed punt recovered at the two yard line,

885
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 2: But Alabama is going to keep possession.

886
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: It looks like got away with one there.

887
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 2: We'll keep you updated on that game and get you

888
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 2: up on the biggest game you're not talking about this weekend.

889
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: We'll do it next.

890
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 2: Bucket Fits on Fox Sports Radio. You're listening to Fox

891
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Radio. He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason fitzbuck and

892
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: Fits on Fox Sports Radio.

893
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 3: Hanging out with you.

894
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 2: As you just heard, Georgia gets the ball thirteen yards

895
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: away from the end zone, up twenty one to seven.

896
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 2: Looks like the SEC Championship game could end up being

897
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: all but done. The only question will be the margin

898
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: of victory and what that means for the college football

899
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: playoff committee. We'll get into more of that, plus the

900
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 2: number one versus Number two matchup that's not getting enough height.

901
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 2: But Buck Rising is currently in Cleveland where the Titans

902
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: take on the Browns. Buck here's my question for you.

903
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: You love me lover of chaos, right, I said, And

904
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: I said back, And I just think of what's the

905
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 2: scenario that will make everybody the angriest, and then.

906
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: I root for that.

907
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 3: That's how I live most of my sports life.

908
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 2: I angriest, yeah, or lose the most like they don't

909
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: have to be angry. I just want everyone to lose

910
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: their minds right like I want everyone to feel the

911
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 2: way every you know Sunday that I do as a

912
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: Raid fan, which isn't the greatest feeling in the world,

913
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: by the way. Touchdown Georgia twenty eight to seven. Now,

914
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: so here we sit with the Titans taking on Cleveland.

915
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: Let me take paint this scenario. Because everybody's sitting here saying.

916
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: Why they hail?

917
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: Are they talking about Browns.

918
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: Versus the Titans. Let me give you this scenario. Shouldear

919
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: goes in, shureur plays lights out. Oh, Shouldear looks good?

920
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: Shouldeor throws three touchdown passes balls out.

921
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

922
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 2: Everybody's looking at it and saying, wow, they may have

923
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: their guy. This is going to be really interesting to

924
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: watch looking forward. And at the same time, cam Ward

925
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: has let's say this sort of a line eleven to

926
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: thirty three for eighty seven yards and a pick. Like

927
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: we're talking, he's just absolutely manhandled all game because the

928
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 2: offensive line can't handle the Browns defensive line.

929
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 3: This seems easy's predicted all of a sudden.

930
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: You end up with this just wild butt whoopen where

931
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: clearly the better quarterback that day, not forever, but that

932
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: day is Shoud or Sanders, not cam Ward. The Titans

933
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: have the driver's seat path to the number one overall

934
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: pick in the draft. Any chance, and you cover this

935
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 2: team every day, is there any chance in your mind

936
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 2: that cam Ward would be somebody that they would think

937
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: about if it doesn't go well the last five weeks

938
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 2: moving on.

939
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 4: From No, I don't think and listen. I don't want

940
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 4: to be definitive one way or the other. You you

941
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 4: always allow for that some margin, all right, Just shut

942
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 4: up and it's just you asked me a question, and

943
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 4: you come in here, and the first thing, the first.

944
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: Five words out of my mouth, you back me up?

945
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 3: Did he not just say? Well, I don't want to

946
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 3: I don't really want to answer the question. I don't

947
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 3: want to say anything one way or the other.

948
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I was winding up, I was getting ready

949
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 4: to explain.

950
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 3: No, that's what I heard. But there's no fine for that, Mary,

951
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 3: what do we do?

952
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 4: Like like, I don't want to answer, then shut up

953
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 4: and get out of my way. They would definitively not

954
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 4: move on from cam Ward because then if them picked

955
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 4: cam Ward number one overall in twenty twenty five, the

956
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 4: GM that just got here because God knows, and I

957
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 4: don't know how long he'll be here because the Titans

958
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 4: just stay firing people. Amy Adam Drunk has her finger

959
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 4: on the hot button. She's like keeping pressing it, pressing it,

960
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 4: pressing it. Right if ready fire Amy. The whole situation

961
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 4: for the Titans is predicated around Mike Borganzi, this former

962
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 4: chiefs executive who is now running the Tennessee Titans, and

963
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 4: they're gonna let him run the coaching search and all

964
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 4: these different things that they've said a million times over

965
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 4: just to come swoop in the middle of the night

966
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 4: and fire Brian Callahan in week six because that's what

967
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 4: they do. Okay, but if they hired a guy that

968
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 4: drafted cam Ward number one. Overall, let us go through

969
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 4: what is going to be the season arguably, maybe even

970
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 4: inarguably the worst season in the Titans era since they

971
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 4: moved from Houston in nineteen Well, nineteen ninety eight is

972
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 4: when they move, but nineteen ninety nine is the Titans era, right,

973
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans versus Tennessee Oilers. So in the tight era

974
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety nine to present, this is gonna be the

975
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 4: worst team that franchise has ever fielded. And if you

976
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: have a guy who just picked a quarterback number one

977
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 4: overall and is prepared to move on from that quarterback

978
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 4: the minute it starts to look a little rocky because

979
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 4: he can't handle Miaac Miles Garrett in ways that nobody

980
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 4: can this year, it would be an insanity. No, definitively,

981
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 4: they will not move on from cam Ward this year

982
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 4: just because they have the top draft pick. If they

983
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 4: don't trade that top draft pick for more help for

984
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 4: cam Ward, and they if they do anything to even

985
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 4: remotely in danger this poor young man's future who is

986
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 4: just trying to save their raggedy asses from being one

987
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 4: of the most god forsaken franchises in all of football,

988
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 4: they should all be fired. The franchise should be moved,

989
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: send it back to the Saint Louis area. They seem

990
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: to be missing NFL football enough of this already? Is

991
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 4: that definitive enough for you? Was that good radio?

992
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: That was actually a brilliant, brilliant take, Because for all

993
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: the conversation I've heard about the Tennessee Titans of cam Ward,

994
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 2: I've never heard anybody sit down and say, hey, remember

995
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: the GM is still in the building that just picked

996
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 2: him with it first number one overall pick. That is

997
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 2: that is well said by you. I slow clap that.

998
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: That makes so much sense. I can't even clap back

999
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: to it. I truly can't. So that it is interesting

1000
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: to me only because tonight in the Big Ten Championship game,

1001
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 2: we're gonna see Fernando Mendoza in what I think is

1002
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: one of the most important games we've seen all year.

1003
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: Not because of the Big Ten Championship game. Who cares

1004
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 2: about that.

1005
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: Both these teams are going to the playoffs.

1006
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: But it is wildly difficult to judge who Ohio State

1007
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 2: is and who Indiana has been so far this season

1008
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: because they really haven't played anybody. And I'm not saying

1009
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 2: that in a way like so many people say that

1010
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 2: as ammunition for a take of like, oh, your team sucks,

1011
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: you haven't played anybody. I'm saying that right now. I

1012
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: genuinely just don't know. I wish more of us would

1013
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: say I don't know in that situation, right So, Fernando Mendoz.

1014
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: You's got mad at me for saying I don't know.

1015
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean you said I'm not gonna make

1016
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: a take there's a difference. Fernando Mendoza tonight has the

1017
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 2: opportunity to go out and answer that question. If Fernando

1018
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 2: man absolutely balls out, and then we're gonna see him

1019
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: the playoffs. This is why, frankly, the expansion of the

1020
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 2: college football playoff is such an incredible thing to me

1021
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: as an NFL fan. For a second, let's just take

1022
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 2: the college football portion of it. Take that over to

1023
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: the side as an NFL fan. You know what's awesome

1024
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: about the playoff expansion is that I'm going to get

1025
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: to see, hopefully multiple games of what Fernando Mendoza looks

1026
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: like against some of the best teams in the country

1027
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: with everything on the line.

1028
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 3: We're gonna get the chance to see Dante Moore, the

1029
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 3: quarterback out of Oregon.

1030
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 2: In high pressure situations with a lot on the line

1031
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 2: and everybody focused on it. Like we need more games

1032
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 2: like tonight to get a better sense of who ty

1033
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: Simpson is as a quarterback, because certainly mark drafts right

1034
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 2: now we're saying, oh, he could fly up boards. Well,

1035
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 2: then we see him struggle against Georgia. We need more

1036
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 2: quality quarterback versus quality team tape and we.

1037
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 3: Get that because a playoff expansion.

1038
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 2: So I'm just I don't know what the ceiling becomes

1039
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: for Fernando Mendoza. I just know that if he goes

1040
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: in tonight, and just like if Indiana wins tonight, that

1041
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: is going to change Fernando mendo If Indiana wins tonight,

1042
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 2: Mendoza will win the Heisman, Mendoza will will be the

1043
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: first overall pick, and all of a sudden, whoever gets

1044
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:10,919
Speaker 2: him at that first overall pick.

1045
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 3: I think that there will be more hype today for.

1046
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendez easy for me to say than there ever

1047
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: was for cam Ward last year going into the draft.

1048
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 3: Based on what happens over the next.

1049
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 4: Weeks, well, well, for sure, because of what you just articulated,

1050
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 4: he'll have been tested.

1051
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 5: Right.

1052
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 4: The thing with cam was that Miami was good and

1053
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 4: he was a Heisman Trophy finalist. And I shouldn't say

1054
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 4: Miami Miami. Miami was above average. They weren't quite great,

1055
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 4: but they were a good to above average football team

1056
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 4: with cam Warden as quarterback.

1057
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: But they didn't make the playoff.

1058
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 4: Like, you didn't see him really tested in these moments,

1059
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 4: and a lot of times you'd look around and say, oh, well,

1060
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 4: their defense. Their coordinator's going to get fired at the

1061
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 4: end of the year. Cam Ward really never stood a

1062
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 4: chance because he's being sabotaged by his other side of

1063
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 4: the ball. Basically sounds familiar based on the situation for

1064
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 4: him in Tennessee, but's it's huge draft implications for the

1065
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 4: Big Ten championship game because it will affect the dialogue

1066
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 4: around the quarterback instantaneously, and that's a huge benefit just

1067
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 4: for to take it from the perspective of the team

1068
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 4: that I cover on a day to day basis, the Titans.

1069
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 4: You want Fernando Mendoza to look awesome. You want to

1070
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 4: continue to lose football games as an organization, even if

1071
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 4: your locker room is miserable, and Jeff Simmons is saying

1072
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 4: how awful it is to come into work because that

1073
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 4: play sucks at this point in time, and you hate

1074
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 4: for a locker room to have to experience that, especially

1075
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 4: for a rookie quarterback who.

1076
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: Just needs to taste success at some point.

1077
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 4: That isn't related to the Cardinals pooping themselves in Week

1078
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 4: five for their only only win of the season, like

1079
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 4: a real quality four quarter win, right He hasn't had

1080
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 4: anything close at this point in time, if you're cam Word,

1081
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 4: but you want the Jets to get thirstier for Fernanda Mendoza,

1082
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 4: you want the Browns who don't have a settled quarterback situation.

1083
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 4: I don't think Gabriel or Shador. We'll see what happens

1084
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 4: with Kevin Stefanski at the end of the year. There's

1085
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 4: already been some messaging around him potentially being maybe not

1086
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 4: fired necessarily, but I don't know. If you read Jeremy

1087
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 4: Fowler this week at ESPN, him talking about the idea

1088
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 4: that Stefansi would immediately be a viable head coaching candidate

1089
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 4: anywhere if he was in a situation where the Browns

1090
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 4: and he parted ways at the end of the year,

1091
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 4: which to me just screams like he's trying to at

1092
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 4: least leverage, if not a raise for himself potentially an exit,

1093
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 4: which would be a curious situation. But there's huge draft

1094
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 4: implications from the Big Ten Championship game tonight.

1095
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: Let me let me give you the other side of

1096
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 2: that Stefanski report, because I saw it and immediately saw people,

1097
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 2: including some Cleveland media people, saying this is this is

1098
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: Stefanski getting ahead of the market. What if it's the opposite.

1099
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 2: What if it's the Browns getting ahead of the court

1100
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 2: of public opinion when they announced that Stefanski is coming back,

1101
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 2: because so many Browns fans are sitting here saying, oh,

1102
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 2: Stefanski needs he's a bum, he needs to get out

1103
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: of here.

1104
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: He sucks. There are people, are they really? Oh? God? Yeah?

1105
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: Like I will point reference point here. My my producer

1106
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 2: on Yahoo's Ports Staley a massive, massive Browns fan, And

1107
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 2: the number of times he's sends me the reddits and

1108
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 2: the fan comments and all of these things because I

1109
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: keep telling him I don't think Stefanski should be on

1110
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 2: the hot seat and he's a Browns fan, and he

1111
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: reminds me constantly Browns fans wants Stefansky gone, that his

1112
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: play calling is part of the problem, and blah blah, Like.

1113
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: This is a minute, Cleveland.

1114
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 4: Maybe I should just go man on the street my

1115
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 4: way around around downtown after this and ask them if

1116
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 4: their fan base is idiots.

1117
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: That seems stupid to me.

1118
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I don't. I think you'd probably get

1119
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 2: a very very angry.

1120
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 3: Reaction to that question. But to that point, yes or no.

1121
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 2: I watched that and I thought, what if the Browns

1122
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: are just getting ahead of the narratives that they think

1123
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 2: will exist when they announce that he's coming back. Because

1124
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 2: the interesting part of all of this and I will

1125
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: remind the world that this game sucks. And if you

1126
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: think this game sucks in the NFL, avoid December twenty eighth.

1127
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 3: For whatever you do. Just avoid the.

1128
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 2: December twenty eighth in the NFL, because that day there

1129
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 2: are two games that day that will absolutely appall football

1130
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: fans everywhere. The Titans currently the number overall pick. We'll

1131
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 2: take on the Saints, who currently hold the third overall pick.

1132
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 8: Right.

1133
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 2: The Giants that day are in Vegas taking on the Raiders.

1134
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 2: The two and the four take each other on that day.

1135
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 2: December twenty eighth is going to remind us how many teams.

1136
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 3: Out there stink.

1137
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: But the fact is Cleveland is also in this conversation

1138
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 2: at five overall. We talked earlier in the show about

1139
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: not being able to figure out why people are losing

1140
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 2: their minds about Shaduur.

1141
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 3: How are people going to react if Cleveland ends up

1142
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 3: with the third.

1143
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 2: Overall pick and drafts a quarterback already to replace Shadur?

1144
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: Like this is all just weird ramifications from what happened

1145
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: last year, and it speaks to the chaos even amongst

1146
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 2: the worst teams. It speaks to the chaos that we're

1147
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: facing right now.

1148
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 4: I would think that highly likely if you're not preparing

1149
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 4: yourself for that conversation.

1150
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: Is I guess? I guess?

1151
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 4: Shoulduur fans are different than Brown's fans are different than

1152
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 4: you know, like there's different sub sects of people that

1153
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 4: we're talking about here, because I would assume, again, maybe

1154
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 4: I shouldn't make assumptions. I would have assumed that Cleveland

1155
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 4: Browns fans would understand that Kevin Stefanci is not the

1156
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 4: problem with their circumstance, and that Andrew Berry is far

1157
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 4: more responsible. Although I mean his his rookie draft class

1158
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 4: seems to be solid other than the quarterback situation, which

1159
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 4: is just bizarre. At this point in time, I'm not

1160
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 4: really sure how to evaluate the general manager of the Browns,

1161
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 4: given that he's also associated with that Deshaun Watson contract,

1162
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 4: which by the way, underrated headline Deshawn's off bup in

1163
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 4: practice this week, like if they if they weren't messy enough, God,

1164
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 4: these these fans must be so sick.

1165
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean football, I don't.

1166
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 3: Really like nobody wants to hear this.

1167
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: DeShawn might get a shot to start there next year,

1168
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 2: Like that contract is still going to have him there

1169
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 2: for a year. And you imagine DeShawn could be the

1170
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 2: starting quarterback of the of the Cleveland Browns next year.

1171
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 3: I'm not that's wild.

1172
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: Up talking dialogue.

1173
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, I can't even.

1174
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:49,799

00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 2: Is is Buck Rising the type to go out there

1201
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 2: and do some Christmas Carolyn? Like you out there like singing,

1202
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 2: singing in the streets for people? How are we on

1203
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 2: the Christmas music?

1204
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 3: Buddy?

1205
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 4: Okay, those are two different conversations. Are you talking about

1206
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 4: like door to door Christmas caroling? Are you just talking

1207
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 4: about the concept of Christmas music?

1208
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: Period? Like point blank period.

1209
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 3: Like of both?

1210
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: Like what are we poorn like a glass of something

1211
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 2: and sitting with like a little Vinyl Sinatra. I love

1212
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 2: the idea of Buck with his feet up with you know,

1213
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 2: a cat on each leg and just hanging out with

1214
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 2: some Vinyl Sinatra.

1215
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: That would be preferred.

1216
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 4: If people were to show up at my door singing,

1217
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 4: I would be very aggressive in removing them from the premises.

1218
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 4: If I was asked to do a caroling situation, my

1219
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 4: first question would be what does it pay? The second

1220
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 4: question would be can I drink? The third question would

1221
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 4: be well, it wouldn't be a question, it would be

1222
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 4: a statement. Would be absolutely not. Get off my property,

1223
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 4: just as quickly as the people that showed up at

1224
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 4: my door caroling in that particular situation. Christmas music, I'm

1225
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 4: not against, but the early playing of Christmas music, the

1226
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 4: overwhelming of Halloween and Thanksgiving.

1227
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: With Christmas music. It's November the fourth. I'm sitting the

1228
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: Miami Airport.

1229
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 4: I'm trying to fly back from my lovely vacation on

1230
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 4: the bye week because the Titans are terrible and I

1231
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 4: needed a break, and I'm going to South Beach and

1232
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 4: I'm sitting in the Miami Airport November fourth, and they're

1233
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 4: just blaring, blaring, bing Crosby Christmas. It's too early, it's

1234
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 4: too much. It has its place. I'm not saying that

1235
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 4: you deed dedicated Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas music and that

1236
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 4: there can't be a little bit of ven diagram somewhere

1237
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 4: in between as we move through the holiday season, but

1238
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 4: leave it at least closer to Christmas two weeks out.

1239
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: That's it.

1240
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 2: Look, we couldn't be more different to nobody's surprise, as

1241
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: I'm the person that usually goes to Spirit Halloween the

1242
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 2: day after Halloween to find all of the animatronics that

1243
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 2: are half off. And while I'm stuffing my car full

1244
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 2: of you know, Crouchy the clowns and things that move

1245
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 2: and scare people, I've got Mariah Carey blasting in the

1246
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 2: car as loud as huge as possible, that is. And frankly,

1247
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 2: I caroled for years in Nashville, got a group of

1248
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 2: people together go the go through the neighborhood.

1249
00:55:58,640 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 3: Used to always do it.

1250
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 2: In fact, one year we did a flash mob where

1251
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 2: we rented a plus and we took a whole group

1252
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 2: of people to all of the local malls. Like should

1253
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 2: have seen the look on people in Nashville's faces when

1254
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 2: we just walked into a Starbucks.

1255
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: Like we were going to order.

1256
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, like thirty entertainers start

1257
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 2: doing a full routine of Christmas songs I mean in it,

1258
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 2: and then of course, because it's Nashville and nobody's impressed

1259
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 2: with anything. We just got a smat. We didn't even

1260
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 2: get really applause. It was like one or two people

1261
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: in the back that gave smattering. You know, here we

1262
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: are doing the.

1263
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 3: Chest Nut's right like poetry. Oh yeah, yeah, we're.

1264
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 2: Getting likely, We're getting a little little little poetry reading. Snapshah.

1265
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm in for all of the Christmas music. I'm a

1266
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: fanatic for it. So to nobody's surprise, this is the

1267
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: time of year where Bing Dean and Frank rule my

1268
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 2: my radio. I've got like six presets on a car

1269
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 2: that are all different different Christmas channels.

1270
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 3: And then because it's.

1271
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 4: December the sixth, that's okay. I'm just saying since November

1272
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 4: the sixth. Brother, No, I'm aware you're the problem. You

1273
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 4: shocking to nobody. You are the problem.

1274
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 3: I mean what, You're just a south Pole elf. That's

1275
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 3: what we learned here.

1276
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 2: Like here, I am trying to sput that's fine, Buck,

1277
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 2: But this is all I demand of you, because I

1278
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: make demands.

1279
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 9: Now.

1280
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 3: All I demand is.

1281
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 2: That when a Christmas song of any sort comes on

1282
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 2: and it has a lyric of the essence of I

1283
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 2: wish it was Christmas every day.

1284
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 3: You concern don't get to sing it. You don't get

1285
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 3: to sing that.

1286
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 2: Line because if you have a problem with Christmas music

1287
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 2: in November, you don't actually wish it was Christmas every day?

1288
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 3: So how about that Grinch? Although The Grinch is one

1289
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 3: of my favorites, Grench is a banger.

1290
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 4: That's my favorite holiday movie by any stretch of the Imagine.

1291
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 2: It which which version, the Jim Carrey version, the original

1292
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: animated version, or the Benedict Cumberback version, because they're all

1293
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: very different.

1294
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 4: I was not unaware that there's a Benedict Cumberbatch version

1295
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 4: of The Grinch.

1296
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 3: From a few years ago. Okay out a few years ago.

1297
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 3: It's full length movie.

1298
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 9: So actually, actually, Buck, that movie is the one that's

1299
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 9: just called The Grinch. So you saying your favorite movie

1300
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 9: is The Grinch, you're technically referencing that one because the

1301
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 9: real one, the Jim Carrey live action, and is actually

1302
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 9: called How the Grinch Stole Christmas?

1303
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: Blood pressure the way that marries off my laughter.

1304
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 3: But no, no, no, Buck.

1305
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 2: The thing of it is, though you don't want to

1306
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 2: correct this because you got to take right this is

1307
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 2: this is one of my I will die.

1308
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 3: On this hill. I will plant this flag.

1309
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 2: Benedet Cumberbatch movie is far better, far better than any

1310
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 2: other Grinch movie that's ever been made, including Jim Carrey's

1311
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 2: Jim Carrey's Grinch movie. Fine, it's even fine, it's fine,

1312
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 2: But the newest animated one is Oh Chef's Kiss.

1313
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 3: It is elite. It is on a different level. It

1314
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 3: is playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers.

1315
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: Mary, get him what.

1316
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 3: You get?

1317
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: Fine, finally we're back on the same side.

1318
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 3: That's so disrespectful.

1319
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jim Carrey Grinch movie is just arguably not good. Like,

1320
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: shut up, shut up, bro, stop talking Jim Carrey over

1321
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: I know, shocking Jim Carrey overacting in something, and it's

1322
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 2: just such a what do you mean unteracting over acting,

1323
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 2: Like Jim Carrey is basically doing ace Ventura in a

1324
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 2: Grinch mask, and.

1325
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 9: I don't that's fine. It feels like this should be

1326
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 9: some egregious take. But I haven't really like seen that

1327
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 9: movie enough times to be that pissed at you for

1328
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 9: saying that I know it's correct.

1329
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 4: That he's wrong, and that he's foolish for even uttering

1330
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 4: such nonsense into the microphone. In fact, Mary should turn

1331
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 4: his microphone off enough of the movie.

1332
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: All Jim Carrey is doing is stealing Christmas, all right,

1333
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 2: like it did.

1334
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: He just kept talking through it.

1335
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 4: No, your microphone's back on, looking at me, show he

1336
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 4: doesn't know what to do.

1337
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it should be called how Jim Carrey

1338
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 2: stole Christmas? Because he stole all the joy out of

1339
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 2: that movie. The movie, the original animated version or the

1340
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 2: newest animated version featuring Benedict Cumberbatchet, which is just adorable,

1341
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 2: by the.

1342
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 3: Exactly do you want to act? I want to?

1343
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, like that, like the animated versions, not

1344
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 2: like ace Ventura. I don't like Jim Carrey is just

1345
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 2: not a good actor. There's nothing about Jim Carrey's It's

1346
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: fun talk Grady, nothing about nothing about Jim Carrey funny.

1347
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: This is on YouTube, all right. It's on Mary, and

1348
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: it's on Ian.

1349
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 4: Because you let him go, and you let him go,

1350
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 4: and he keeps pushing it, and he keeps pushing it.

1351
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 4: So the fact that we have veered to such an

1352
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 4: extreme it's your. You had the power to stop this

1353
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 4: and you let it go.

1354
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: It's on you.

1355
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I've tried. I have tried all of.

1356
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: The Jim Carrey movies. I countlessly the number of times

1357
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 2: everyone's like, you really go to Troy Dolmandilmer. I'm telling you,

1358
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: and I've tried it over and over and over again.

1359
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 2: The movie is stupid and it's not funny.

1360
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 3: It's just I'm I'm sorry.

1361
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: My favorite comedy movie is The Hangover, Like, I'll go

Speaker 2: can go see as many movies free as I want

1381
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,120

1382
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 2: there is zero chance that I would sit in the

1383

1387
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 6: You know what, I just have to say. I've listened

1388
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 6: to you guys show now for like eight or nine weeks,

1389
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 6: never heard fits more passionate about anything than anybody was

1390
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 6: over the last five minutes.

1391
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 3: Say Christmas Baby doesn't make him right? I'm loud.

1392
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 6: I will also say this, and I don't know if

1393
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 6: this is in your defense or night. I watched a

1394
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 6: Christmas Carol a couple of days ago. It had Jim

1395
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 6: Carrey in it, the two thousand and nine version terrible.

1396
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 6: That might be the worst we have I've ever seen,

1397
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 6: And the whole thing was a video game cut the

1398
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 6: cut scene.

1399
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 8: I hated it. I hated every part of it. Don't

1400
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 8: watch it.

1401
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 6: If you're interested in watching it, because, like in reality today,

1402
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 6: the games in college football have not been like, Babe,

1403
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 6: we can't watch this Christmas movie because we got to

1404
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 6: watch this really close football game. None of those arguments

1405
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 6: are winning twenty eight to seven Georgia over Alabama. The

1406
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 6: third ranked Georgia Bulldogs will advance to twelve and one.

1407
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 8: After beating Alabama.

1408
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 6: Johnnerstock the three touchdown passes, you only had six incompletions

1409
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 6: on the day.

1410
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 8: That's pretty good.

1411
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 6: Nate Fraser had a rushing touchdown, Zach Branch had a touchdown.

1412
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 6: The leading rush for Alabama had eleven yards, so that

1413
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 6: that's kind of how things were going for Alabama in

1414
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 6: this game.

1415
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 8: It's kind of.

1416
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 6: Same story for Texas Tech over byu BWA. You turn

1417
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 6: the ball over a million times in a thirty four

1418
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 6: to seven blowout for the Red Raiders, who have likely

1419
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 6: secured a buy in the upcoming college football playoff. Penn

1420
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 6: State hires Iowa States Matt Campbell an eight year deal.

1421
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 6: Before that, Campbell was the winningest coach in cyclone's history

1422
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 6: and men's college basketball. Iowa State lost to coach, but

1423
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 6: won the game. Tenth ranked Iowa State beat Perdue eighty

1424
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 6: one to fifty eight. It's the worst home lost ever

1425
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 6: for a number one ranked team. Fourth ranked Duke beat

1426
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 6: seventhrank Michigan State sixty six to sixty Sixth rank Louisville

1427
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 6: beat twenty second ranked Indiana eighty seven to two.

1428
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 8: Seventy eight. Michigan beat Rutgers by forty.

1429
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 6: The third ranked the Wolverines undefeated, still on the I'm sorry,

1430
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 6: third ranked Wolverines have beaten Rutgers by like, oh my goodness,

1431
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 6: I just had it and it went away, you know what.

1432
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 6: Let's move on to the NFL. The Chargers running back

1433
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 6: on Marion Hampton. He's expected to return Monday night, Monday

1434
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 6: Night Football against the Eagles.

1435
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 8: He got her early in the season.

1436
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 6: As teams been waiting for his return, they were starting

1437
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 6: to practice squad guys like Carmine Vidal in his place,

1438
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 6: fellas as Gunner Stockton holds the ICC Championship trophy with

1439
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 6: a big smile on his face.

1440
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 8: I kick it back to you.

1441
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 2: He's buck rising up. Jason fitz bucking fits on Fox

1442
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Is Cato Boor on the hot seat? Feels

1443
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 2: like a crazy question to ask, but we all know

1444
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 2: the expectations at Alabama, right or wrong?

1445
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 3: Right? And I think there's a.

1446
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 2: Cautionary tale to be told in the fact that Penn

1447
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 2: State fired James Franklin before anybody else was fired, and

1448
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 2: then it took how long to turn around, Like if

1449
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 2: you look at the recruiting class for Penn State, this

1450
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 2: has just been absolutely an abject disaster. Now, I think

1451
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 2: getting Matt Campbell from Iowa State turned out to be

1452
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 2: a little bit of a coup for them, a big

1453
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 2: git for Penn State. So maybe it works out in

1454
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 2: me and I feel better about it today than I

1455
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 2: did a couple of days ago.

1456
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

1457
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I wondered if Kaylen de Bor if Alabama

1458
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: got roasted in this game. I wonder if Kaylen I

1459
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 2: had wondered if Kaylyn de Bor would maybe even look

1460
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 2: at the Penn State job, just because it feels like

1461
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 2: every time he loses a game, Betty from Tuscaloos is

1462
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: trying to win the lottery to get his buyout. Like

1463
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 2: this is a twenty eight to seven game where Georgia

1464
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 2: had the ball, probably could have tried to score again

1465
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: it chose to take a knee. So I don't know, Buck,

1466
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 2: do you think that there is some world where Kaylen

1467
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 2: de Bor should be worried.

1468
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean it's in that job.

1469
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 4: I feel like you constantly have to be worried about

1470
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 4: your job security. Whether that's realistic in the modern era

1471
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 4: of college football where teams are just inexperienced setbacks yere

1472
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 4: overy year, you're going to spend money in the portal.

1473
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 4: It's not going to work out for everybody every year

1474
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 4: the way that it did for Texas Tech this year. Right,

1475
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 4: Texas Tech rolled BYU today. They spent an outrageous amount

1476
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 4: of money in the transfer portal this pass offseason. Florida

1477
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 4: State did that a couple of years ago. It blew

1478
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 4: up in their faces, right, So there's just there's going

1479
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 4: to be some of these moments. And honestly, Kaylan de

1480
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 4: Bores kind of held held the line pretty well. I mean,

1481
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 4: the way that they lost to a bad Florida State

1482
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 4: team earlier in the season, those questions at the time

1483
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 4: were fair, and I think it was okay to start

1484
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 4: the dialogue them getting smacked by Georgia in the SEC

1485
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 4: championship game. There's not going to be context and nuance

1486
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 4: in the state of Alabama about this conversation. But Kaylan,

1487
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,479
Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken that game was at Athens this year,

1488
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 4: and Alabama went to.

1489
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: Georgia and won.

1490
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 4: Yes, that's not something I think most people expected to happen. Again,

1491
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 4: this is his first loss to Kirby Smart. Now it

1492
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 4: comes in a critical spot, right they're the ninth ranked

1493
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 4: team in the country currently, we do not have the

1494
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 4: next college footballlayoff.

1495
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: We get the College football Playoff.

1496
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 4: Final selections right this coming Tuesday, and we'll see how

1497
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 4: far this is going to drop them down.

1498
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: To Fitz's point earlier in the show, we.

1499
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 2: Get them tomorrow, they'll come out. Oh we got them tomorrow, Yeah,

1500
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 2: tomorrow afternoon.

1501
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:34,919
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not going to see them until I'm done

1502
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 4: covering Titans Browns, I guess. But I'm sure i'll you know,

1503
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure I'll be paying attention sitting in the press

1504
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 4: box because the football will be so terrible. I am

1505
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 4: fascinated to see how the committee drops them, if that

1506
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 4: touchdown actually matters in a consequential way, or if groupthink

1507
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 4: is enough to keep Alabama down, or if group think

1508
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 4: is enough to keep Alabama alive in this situation, there's

1509
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 4: so many different ways that this could go. We still

1510
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 4: have Indiana and Ohio State play out. We still have

1511
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 4: the a SEC Championship game to play out, and there's

1512
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 4: two playoff spots left on the line. But Alabama, Yeah,

1513
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 4: I mean I think I think it's more likely than

1514
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 4: not that they get left out.

1515
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: And if they get.

1516
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 4: Left out for a second consecutive year, then it I mean,

1517
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 4: I don't know, is it fair to have that kind

1518
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 4: of standard, that kind of expectation at Alabama of Kaylin

1519
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 4: de boor?

1520
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: I do think so?

1521
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know what you're signing up for.

1522
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 2: And this is where we always say, you know, you

1523
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 2: don't want to be the man that replaces the man,

1524
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 2: but that's just inevitable.

1525
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 4: So and he's done a pretty damn good job. Like

1526
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 4: I'm not like no moral victories or whatever, but like

1527
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 4: it could be a lot worse. It could be so

1528
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 4: much worse at Alabama replacing Nick Saban. And I think

1529
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 4: he's done a decent job. But decent's not enough.

1530
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: There, right, Yeah, that's the problem.

1531
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 2: And this is why you know, I found myself yelling

1532
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 2: and screaming into the wind like an old man about

1533
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffen and his decision. However he came about it

1534
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 2: to move to LSU. He's like Okay, well, understand that,

1535
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 2: as we've talked about on the show, if Layton has

1536
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 2: the exact same season he had at all Miss, he's

1537
01:07:59,120 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 2: get fired.

1538
01:07:59,680 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 3: Right.

1539
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 2: So you know, if you're Kaylen Dbor, the minute you

1540
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 2: left Washington to take this job, you understood exactly what

1541
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 2: the expectation was going to be.

1542
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 3: And you know, frankly, one thing.

1543
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 2: That we undervalued was the greatness of Nick Saban, as

1544
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 2: weird as that sounds, and I say that because so

1545
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 2: many people thought, well, he's the rainy coach of the

1546
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 2: year and he's going to slide internet.

1547
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 3: We'll replace saved and it will be fine. Saban was legendary.

1548
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 2: For a reason, right, and Kaylen de Boor was very

1549
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 2: very good for a reason. Very very good isn't legendary.

1550
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 2: So that little extra edge that is the reason that

1551
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 2: Alabama just dominated for the entire generation is impossible to recreate.

1552
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 2: And it wasn't Alabama that gave that edge, it was

1553
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 2: Nick Saban. And so now you have a coach that's

1554
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 2: doing a very good job. And I think, you know,

1555
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 2: I would categorize the Kaylendbor era at Alabama is an

1556
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 2: unqualified success. Like it there's no qualifying there's no ways

1557
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 2: that I'm trying to hold that in.

1558
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 3: It's been wildly successful.

1559
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 2: I think it just hasn't resulted in playoffs, and sometimes

1560
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 2: that happens. That's just the sort of the way the

1561
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 2: crookie crumbles, right. So what gets really tough for me

1562
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 2: in this situation is I don't think there's any world

1563
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 2: where Kaylen Debor should be on the hot seat. I

1564
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 2: do think that people are just crazy enough when it

1565
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 2: comes to Bama fans that you never know and boosters

1566
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 2: in the modern college football world are just crazy enough.

1567
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 2: Like it is certainly fair to say, whatever happens for

1568
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 2: Alabama tomorrow, they're probably still going to end up in

1569
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:22,759
Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff.

1570
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 3: I think that trash.

1571
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Touchdown that made this game a little bit closer helps

1572
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 2: them enough. It justifies them staying into the College Football

1573
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 2: Playoff if they miss the College Football Playoff.

1574
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 3: Hell, even if they make it and they lose them

1575
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 3: the first round.

1576
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 2: When you start talking about the momentum and the conversation

1577
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 2: and the way different programs are perceived going in next year,

1578
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to see Alabama with a lot

1579
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 2: of momentum compared to what we're seeing from everybody else.

1580
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,600
Speaker 4: That's not fair. It's just sort of the way it's perceived. No,

1581
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 4: but it's real. I mean that matters.

1582
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 3: Right.

1583
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 4: We haven't talked about Vandy on the Fox Show since

1584
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 4: you and I have obviously you've been on the local

1585
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 4: show with me in nash Phill, but we have not

1586
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 4: talked about Vanderbilt one whoop.

1587
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: I mean we did.

1588
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 4: I guess we got the end of that game, Vandy

1589
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 4: whooping the snot out of Tennessee in Knoxville in the

1590
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 4: biggest game in that rivalry's history, and then turning around

1591
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 4: and flipping a five star quarterback commit from Georgia to Vanderbilt.

1592
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 4: He's a Nashville kid, but for Vandy, it's the most

1593
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,759
Speaker 4: talented recruit in the history of Vanderbilt football. Jared Curtis

1594
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 4: just committed to Vanderbilt, and that momentum has continued to shift.

1595
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 4: They started flipping wide receivers. Now was a three star kid.

1596
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 4: I can't remember the name off off the top of

1597
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 4: my head, but he's committed to Alabama.

1598
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he's committing to Vandy.

1599
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 4: Like this is a thing that matters momentum into the

1600
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 4: off season, right, I know, for Vanderbilt we still have

1601
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 4: and for many other programs we have bold season the playoffs.

1602
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 4: So we're not quite in the off season yet, but

1603
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 4: we understand that National Signing Day was this past week,

1604
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 4: that the transfer portal will soon be upon us and

1605
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 4: it will recall manner of havoc, and it is critical

1606
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 4: to capitalize on whatever momentum that might be, even if

1607
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 4: it's just optical, that can swing things in the direction

1608
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 4: for a program for at least a year to come.

1609
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 4: I don't know how sustainable that is moving forward. I

1610
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,839
Speaker 4: think you have to do it basically every season. I'm

1611
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 4: sure you would argue, but that is a real thing.

1612
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 4: Alabama cannot afford to take a step back.

1613
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's just weird because I thought that the

1614
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 2: playoffs would create more patients with coaches. Honestly, my concept being, Okay,

1615
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 2: as long as you're making the playoffs, think about the

1616
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 2: NFL model. As long as you're making the playoffs in

1617
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,839
Speaker 2: the NFL, you're not likely to be fired, right, That's

1618
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 2: just it rarely happens that it coaches. You know, I

1619
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 2: have coaches to the Wildcard of the playoffs six straight years,

1620
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:38,480
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden.

1621
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 3: I get fired. Like that's a rarity.

1622
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 2: So I thought that it might buy more time, and

1623
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 2: instead it just it just hasn't. I think it changes

1624
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 2: for certain programs. It's just that's never going to be enough.

1625
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 2: So even making the playoffs isn't going to be enough

1626
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 2: for killing to boor. But certainly with that line being

1627
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,600
Speaker 2: the line in the sand now and with the perception

1628
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 2: that there's no way if you're a Bama fan or

1629
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 2: a Bama booster, even more importantly, if you're the Buddy

1630
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 2: Garrity of Alabama football, there is no world where you

1631
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 2: think that you are paying all that money to a

1632
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 2: football program for it to be the thirteenth best or

1633
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 2: the fourteenth best, not be in that conversation every single year.

1634
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 2: So it's weird to say I think this season was

1635
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 2: a real success. It has been a real success for Alabama. Again,

1636
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,600
Speaker 2: I think getting to twenty eight to seven as the

1637
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 2: final score, getting that trash touchdown.

1638
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 3: Is enough to at least give everybody a reason to

1639
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 3: keep them in. But man, if you.

1640
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 2: Are Alabama right now, you're at least nervous. You are

1641
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 2: at least nervous about what's going to happen. From the

1642
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,719
Speaker 2: College Football Committee that sat there and watched it together again,

1643
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 2: knowing that there are gonna be a couple of big

1644
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: thieves coming in.

1645
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 3: We'll keep you updated.

1646
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 2: We're almost to the number one versus number two team

1647
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,520
Speaker 2: in all the land. That's right, the Big Ten Championship

1648
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 2: game is actually happening tonight. So I just want to

1649
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 2: remind everybody that the actual one v two matchup that

1650
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 2: nobody's talking about the same as Ohio State versus Indiana.

1651
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, coming up next, it is time

1652
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 2: for the single greatest game show in the history of

1653
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 2: sports talk radio. Would you rather coming up next on

1654
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 2: bucket Fits on Fox Sports Radio, He's buck Rising. I'm

1655
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 2: Jason Fitts bucket Fits on Fox Sports Radio, hanging out

1656
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 2: with you.

1657
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell we're doing. You know

1658
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 3: what we're doing.

1659
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 4: Christmas whispering centrally to Mariah Carey in the middle of

1660
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 4: that really is whispering centrally into my ear via Mariah Carey.

1661
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: It was unpleasant.

1662
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 2: Mariah is the vessel that leads my whispers to your ears.

1663
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 3: There we go.

1664
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 4: I uh, I can we go to one show without

1665
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 4: me feeling violated?

1666
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you got a lot of rules there's

1667
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 2: a lot of guardrails up now all of a sudden.

1668
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 2: You know, once, once, once, see Buck came into this

1669
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 2: school year feeling like he was the bad boy on

1670
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 2: the block and he could just say whatever he wants,

1671
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 2: do whatever he wants, and then he ran.

1672
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 3: The halls of this place.

1673
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 2: But you know what's happened is there's been a little uprising,

1674
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 2: and over time I think maybe Mary and I and

1675
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 2: have figured out like there's you know, a little push

1676
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 2: back to the bulley on the block, and that's all

1677
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 2: that's happening.

1678
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 3: Buck. It's just just a little pushback, right, We're no

1679
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 3: bite he is. He is all talking, no bite.

1680
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 2: If there's ever been a celebrity that needs handlers to

1681
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 2: do his work for him, it's definitely Buck.

1682
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 3: Right, Like Buck's.

1683
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 2: Sending somebody down the library and he's like, well, I mean,

1684
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 2: if he ever.

1685
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: Got excuse you.

1686
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 4: Say it with your chest one time again, unbelievable rising

1687
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 4: is not a celebrity that is. I will not stand

1688
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 4: for this blasphemy. I am absolutely every bit the Dalas celebrity.

1689
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,480
Speaker 1: I think I am back off.

1690
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 2: I want Buck to go into the bar where he's

1691
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 2: gonna go in Cleveland tonight. And walk in and in

1692
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 2: my mind, it's gonna be packed wall to wall. There's

1693
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 2: gonna be Christmas to core up, Christmas music on the speakers,

1694
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,719
Speaker 2: the football game block by Garland. And as he goes

1695
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 2: to sit at the bar and there's no seats, he's

1696
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 2: gonna look around and say, yeah, I'm Buck Rising, I

1697
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,640
Speaker 2: need a seat, and they're all just gonna look at

1698
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 2: him and blankly, and someone's gonna turn.

1699
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 3: Mariah back up.

1700
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 2: That's what I need to have happened. Oh, it's gonna

1701
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 2: be delightful. He's gonna be sipping on eggnog. Oh, never

1702
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 2: on sad eggnog. Watched the Big Ten championship game with

1703
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 2: a tequila soda on the side. All right, on that

1704
