My partner Dan Byer, on the other hand, 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: smiling and happy. An uneven kind of odd game, but 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: a w Dan Buyer. 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 2: I think all eyes were on Columbus on Saturday and 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: watching that one versus two or one versus three, depending 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: on which pole you live by. I don't know if 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: the game lived up to the hype mic, but it 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: sure gives us something to talk about on this Sunday. 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: Well that's the beauty. But we love our hot take, 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: nonsense and coming into the year, and we do an 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: appreciation segments Jason Smith and I during the core of 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: the summer, like right as we get towards this Labor 20 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Day weekend, of which storylines helped carry us through what 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: is sometimes for the lazy among us in our sports 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: talk media TV and radio of a lot of lists. Radio. Well, 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: we actually did one as a tribute to the summer 24 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: that was when we talk about the Dallas Cowboys. We 25 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: got plenty on them coming up. But the Micah Parsons, 26 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and Jerry Jones doing all his appearances, which 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: were I mean, they were glorious. I mean, you know 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: you talk about him on land Man. He did an 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: acting job and then he just decided he was going 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: to keep doing that. So that was good. Good for 31 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: us me too much to my sugar. In everything going 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: on in Chicago, Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, do they like 33 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: each other? Are they going to go steady or are 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: they going to break up before it even begins? And 35 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: then you get Bagent gets his two year extension and 36 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the world goes mad. Look what 37 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: they did, Look what they did. 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: And he's brought to tears with it emotionally, but yes, 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: makes the eyebrows raise of the Windy City. 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: Right, So we get those. And then obviously we had 41 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Cleveland with their eighteen quarterbacks and the shedor Sanders Theater 42 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: and whatever. But then the honorable Mentions one of the 43 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: first names that came up was, of course arch Manning, 44 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: who became the put on the pedestal for this year's 45 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: college football right questions about Ohio State and a repeat Michigan. 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: We get the whatever you call that penalty coming out 47 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: of all the Stallion stuff that they right, but they 48 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: finally have a quarterback that people are excited about right 49 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: in Underwood after all these years. So and he goes 50 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: and he plays, and that's all funny good, But arch 51 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: Manning was the name, along with Bill Belichick, that I 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: can't move the needle more than anything in college football 53 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: this offseason. And Belichick will get to watch his handiwork 54 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: on Monday Night. But in the interim, all eyes on Columbus. 55 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: You know, we get the extra media fun of a 56 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: new partner at Fox with Portnoy and our stool and 57 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: all the chaos that reigned coming into the start of 58 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: a big noon kickoff. But for arch Manning it became 59 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: the I don't I have no idea what to expect 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: right everybody doing it. He was the favorite on the 61 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: Heisman odds at plus six hundred. You have obviously the 62 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: family pedigree and a guy we've watched a bunch and 63 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: depending on what video you watched. You like these tendencies, 64 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: you like these characteristics, and certainly the surname of Manning 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: is going to prejudice bias. Maybe take and say we 66 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: were gonna give him a B, we'd round him up 67 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: to a B plus because he was the nice kid 68 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: in the class. You know that kind of thing, or 69 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: the AA minus got rounded to in A if you 70 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: wanted to go to full Hyperbolee Dan. But then we 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: always come out of the week and there's going to 72 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: be people lighting their torches and having their fun. But 73 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: what we got this week were several huge marquee matchups 74 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: featuring top elite teams facing off, and this is one 75 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: of them. So I walk away from it after the 76 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: uneven performance. You know, you see the stat line certainly 77 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: not popping off the page as we just go. If 78 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: you want to go, do the box score reading one 79 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards through the air one and one, 80 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: the terrible interception and then on the ground you knew 81 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: he was going to be a factor, but ten carries 82 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: thirty eight yards. Fine, we'll hear one of those carries 83 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: in a moment. But coming out of it, like you 84 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: played Ohio State, So what did I really learn in 85 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: all of this, I. 86 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: Think that you learned that Steve Sarkisian is going to 87 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: have to take the governor off of Arch Manning at 88 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: least at some point. I understand what this game is, 89 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: and Mike, I actually think it's a bigger there's a 90 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: bigger picture at stake here, and it actually goes back 91 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: to what happened last year in the playoff. And remember 92 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: Boise State in their great run and how they were 93 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: winning games and winning games, but they had lost one game, 94 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: and that one game was to Oregon in a close game. 95 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: And it was that close loss to Oregon that did 96 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: Boise State so much good in their quest to move 97 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: up the rankings, in fact be high enough where they 98 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: got a first round by because they were a conference champion. 99 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: And I look at these games now, Mike, and I 100 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: looked at yesterday, and I looked at both Ohio State 101 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: and Texas, who I know Arch played a little last year, 102 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: but they're breaking in new quarterbacks, they're reloading. Both sides 103 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 2: lost a bunch of players to the NFL, and it's 104 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: almost like like not playing to win, but playing so 105 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: you don't get blown out so it can be used 106 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: against you later on. In the season. Arch didn't have 107 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: one hundred yards passing into the fourth quarter. And I'm 108 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: not saying that that he would have won the game 109 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: or they would have won the game. They had opportunities. 110 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: I felt like if there was any team that needed 111 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 2: to be conservative, it was conservative. It was probably Ohio 112 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: State because of even the less experience that Julian Sayan had, 113 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 2: And I just felt that neither team was like, all right, 114 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: we're gonna put caution to the win here, and it 115 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: ends up being a chess match, not because you're battling wits, 116 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: but because it's taking so long and going so slow 117 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: and there's just not a lot of action. And that's 118 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 2: what I felt that yesterday was. And while Texas I'm 119 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: not saying they didn't play to win the game, but 120 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: it sure kind of felt like they didn't play to win. 121 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: Archs did throw a bad interception when they had to 122 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: at the end. They made plays in the air. He 123 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: did make some throws to make his stat line at 124 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: least be somewhat respectable. But I don't put it all 125 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: on Arch. Even if there were bad throws and inaccurate throws. 126 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 2: He did have a tough time and I think it 127 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: was a thirty seven percent misrate, their off target rate 128 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: on some of his throws that is that is not good. 129 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: But at no point that I think that Texas really 130 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: allowed Archs to open it up until they needed to 131 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: when they were down fourteen to nothing. 132 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: Look at the overall game flow and tried to run 133 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: the football a ton thirty seven carries including arches ten. 134 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: But all of that say, you're not taking the shots 135 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: down field. I think the point of keeping it close 136 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: and if we lose, there's no harm. R Boise State's interesting, right, 137 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: They've already lost a game. Sure, now they get Notre 138 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: Dame in a couple of weeks. At Notre Dame like 139 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we all circle that of if 140 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: they want back into the party, they're gonna have to 141 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: go pull off a win there, right, And it's not 142 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: what their schedule is, but it made for appointment early 143 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: October viewing already for this game. But we look at 144 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: what Arch banning was and there was one sequence in 145 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: particular that the curiosity down distance, time of possession, time 146 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: on the clock remaining when they decided on fourth down 147 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: to call this. 148 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: Looks like they're gonna be the first push. 149 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 3: Doesn't again. 150 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: Texas Fox TV. On the call, you hear the excitement. Right, 151 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: it's mid season four, no question about it. But at 152 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: that point it's a seven to nothing game. It's third quarter. 153 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: So we're now down about midway third quarter. After a 154 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: really good drive, right, we talk about fifteen plays, seventy yards, 155 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: taking seven minutes off the clock, and then they get 156 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: stuffed three straight times, three straight arch Manning runs. Instead 157 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: of trying to find a tight end, trying to find 158 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: you some sort of gadgetry, it's the we're gonna run 159 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: this and we're gonna we're gonna make it, instead of 160 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: taking the three or getting a little more creative in 161 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: the in the playbook in the red zone on third 162 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: down or whatever like. It just becomes a very curious 163 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: kind of circumstance for Sarkisian, who in big games against 164 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: big opponents, he's got the James Franklin tag starting to 165 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: pile up on him. 166 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: I'll tell you, I'll say this in connection with that, 167 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a game by 168 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 2: game analysis of Arch weekend and week out, because it 169 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: is one of the fewer stories that we've got in 170 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: college football. You laid it out at the top it's Arch, 171 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: it's Bill Belichick, and honestly it's Penn State with everybody 172 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 2: that came back and now trying to figure out what 173 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: the SEC is going to do. After a give and 174 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: take yesterday day for that conference, LSU kind of saving 175 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: the day with that win against Clemson. But the deal 176 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: with Arch is we're going to do this every single 177 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: week and right now, if you are an Arch fan 178 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: or someone that believes in Arch, you've already bought your stock. 179 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: But if you're still wavering, I'm buying now. I'll buy 180 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: low on Arch because with the opportunities that they have 181 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: that games against Florida, they obviously have the Red River 182 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: shootout with Oklahoma, they got a game at Georgia. If 183 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,599 Speaker 2: he does anything in those games, Mike of significant and 184 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 2: of substance, we're right back where we started. And this 185 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: is going to be looked at as an opening game 186 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: against the defending national champions, against the defensive coordinator that 187 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 2: you really have no idea what he can do because 188 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: he has spent his career in the pro game. So now, 189 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 2: if you're Matt Patricia leading the Ohio State defense, I 190 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: feel you do have an edge against Texas. Texas played 191 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: at Ohio State. Realistically, two games ago in that Cotton Bowl, 192 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: completely different defensive coordinator. Now that you're dealing with it's 193 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 2: probably not as easy to be able to adjust if 194 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 2: you're Texas. I'm not trying to make excuses for them. 195 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: They had opportunities that we just played there. But it's 196 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: a team that's going to be in there at the end. 197 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: And if Arch is the guy that we have all 198 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 2: hyped him up to be, how are we supposed to 199 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: take him down after just one game. The name carries 200 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 2: a lot. I understand all of that, but I'm buying 201 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 2: low right now on Arch Manning because I believe everything 202 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: that he has been, even the touchdown throw Mike Magnificent, 203 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: you know, just loads up, looks like a Manning. The 204 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: reasons that we love him, or we love him as 205 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: a player, are the reasons why you can't abandon ship 206 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: after week one. 207 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: Oh, you look at the rinkle of being able to 208 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: tuck the ball and run something his uncles could not do. 209 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: Correct when they did it, it was an awkward thing. 210 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: Get down, get down, get down, because you were fearful 211 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: that was going to be the end of whichever Manning 212 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: for that season, because they just look like a duck 213 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: out of water. 214 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: I feel that that's the intriguing thing about what about 215 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: about arch is what Manning? Is he going to mirror? 216 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: It seems like he runs like his grandpa. Is he 217 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 2: going to be Eli who just throws caution to the 218 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 2: win and that interception is just chalk it up to 219 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: another interception because I'm going to make throws that other 220 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: people don't necessarily want to make. Or am I going 221 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: to be Peyton? Am I going to be in control 222 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: of that? I think that's an intriguing facet in all 223 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: of this. Sure Texas would have loved to have gone 224 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: into Columbus and won the game. Maybe they're not the 225 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: number one team in the country, especially if arches at 226 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: this point where he is in his career, but they're 227 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 2: a top five, They're a top ten team. That defense 228 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: showed it yesterday, and I just I am not willing 229 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: to jump off the bandwagon. I know NFL scouts won't 230 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 2: because just for one bad game, maybe it gives you 231 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: a little bit of a litmus test on where he 232 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: measures up against another top defense that we expect. I 233 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: mean with Caleb Downs back there in the secondary and 234 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: sunny styles and other players. Even though their defensive line 235 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 2: was reloaded in Columbus, they're still they still have players 236 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: on that defense. It's a tough way to start, and 237 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: I know we expected more. I expected a little bit 238 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: more from Steve Sarkisian to let arch go. So I'm 239 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: not ready to jump off the boat. 240 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: Just yeah, I'm with you. I'm going to buy it 241 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: low and we'll watch and see. Right, you're not going 242 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: to face Patricia and whatever intricacies. You're not going to 243 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: face that type of all eleven Yeah right, I mean 244 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: the eleven's guys that are running out there for the 245 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: Ohio State d are going to top most of what 246 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: you see over the course of the year. Yes, I 247 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: know you're navigating the sec. But we go person to person, 248 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: recruiting class to recruit reading class. This is the tops you. 249 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: Throw for three hundred yards and four touchdowns against Oklahoma 250 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 2: at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas in early October. All 251 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 2: this goes away. 252 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: This is a distant memory. Now let's go to the 253 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: other side real quick. Only what just over two hundred 254 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: yards of offense for Ohio State. A bunch of it 255 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: came on this one. 256 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: Sand in the shotgun receives the football, fakes the handoff, 257 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: looks to throw, saying we'll pump that one deep down all. 258 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: Right side, left sideline. 259 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: Excuse me, Tate with it, take. 260 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: It down in the end zone for a touchdown. Carnal Tate, 261 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: Learfield Sports on the call. Tate finishes two catches forty 262 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: nine yards, including that one forty yard touchdown reception. Jeremiah 263 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: Smith the guy that we've had our eye on and 264 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: all the Heisman odds and whatever. When you're trying to 265 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: crack somebody through the quarterbacks, that would be the name 266 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: that came up six catches forty three yards, but overall, 267 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: saying in his debut thirteen of twenty one hundred and 268 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: twenty six and a touchdown, Donaldson on the ground nineteen 269 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: for sixty seven and a score. Look, we averaged fewer 270 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: than three yards per carry for Ohio State, but you 271 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: make the big plays where it matters. And we talk 272 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: about those defensive stops, several fourth down stops by Patricia's defense. 273 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: Does it make for a very exciting box score if 274 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: you're doing that, And maybe you would rather watched some 275 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: paint dry at time, But every possession matter, every play 276 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: came down to it, and when you finally break through 277 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: on a big play like that, boy, you're going to exhale, 278 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: and I think week two will be a much different animal. 279 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: I felt bad for the fans that didn't have a 280 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: dog in the fight because I don't know what kind 281 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: of a watch it was for those people when you're 282 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: looking at a one versus two or again one versus three, 283 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: whatever pole you live by. The funny thing is, Mike 284 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: is this is the Texas team that completely shut down 285 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: Jerremia Smith in the Cotton Bowl that they played in January. 286 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 2: Had one catch for three yards that game, and on 287 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: Saturday they double teamed them. Still was able to get 288 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: his six catches, but not necessarily the damage that you thought. However, 289 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 2: the Carnell Tate touchdown and there was another throw here 290 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: or there that Julian Staton made. That's the sort of 291 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: stuff that maybe wanted a little bit more of from Texas. 292 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: Ohio State. I thought, saying played great. He was a 293 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: victim of drops early on in the game, but managed 294 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: to do what he needed to do and that was 295 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: kind of managed the game with all the different pieces 296 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: that they add. Now you get past this one and 297 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: you feel like you can expand and maybe do a 298 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: few more things. But I for Ohio State, they're probably 299 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: not going to be as good in the backfield as 300 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: they were this past year. But CJ. John Donaldson was 301 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: a physical runner and broke through the Texas line, something 302 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: Texas couldn't do to Ohio State when they got in. 303 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: The short yardage play ended up being the difference of 304 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: the game. 305 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: Short yardage down in distance. Great penetration by that Ohio 306 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: State front to save it. But saying there's game one, 307 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: a guy that came in highly heralded and expectations, he 308 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: gets to w and we move on. 309 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: That's the That's the other thing matters. Look at Look 310 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: at what happens when your last name isn't Manning and 311 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: it's on the back of your jersey. Julian Sane was 312 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: the top, right, he was the top quarterback in the 313 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: class the year after Arch, and it was like he's 314 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: in nobody. So you want to talk about the pressure 315 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: that Arch is dealing with, which and listen every other 316 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: commercial it fell like yesterday was an Arch of manage commercial. 317 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: Hand. 318 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So there's there's something to that. But you 319 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: know there are other kids who can play as well. 320 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: And I thought for his first start in what Julian 321 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: Sayan did, made a couple of throws under pressure. The 322 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: stat line is what it is. There's it's it's how 323 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: the game played out. But there are a couple of 324 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: throws that he made under pressure and in certain situations 325 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: that if you're an Ohio State fan, you feel that 326 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: they made the right choice. 327 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: Well, think about a guy that's coming in with a 328 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: massive pressure. Maybe not because of the arch, you know, 329 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: myopia and national look to it, but say and I 330 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: mean you're coming up a national title, yes, and you're 331 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: banking on you carrying that torch. 332 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 2: And you have a player on your team that some 333 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: feel is like the best wide receiver prospect that we've 334 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: had in twenty five years, maybe ever in college football 335 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: who's only in a second year.

We're watching a replay of a preseason game. 441 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: It's Cowboys and Falcons, and obviously the Cowboys owning the 442 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: storyline alluded to it as we opened the show, Dan, 443 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: one of the big storylines that I thought was going 444 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: to play out for another couple of weeks before we 445 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: came to a head breakneck Speed's like wait a minute, 446 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: hold on. Micah Parsons goes from being all right eventually 447 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: it gets don slap fighting, posting on social media. I 448 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: hate you, you hate me, We love Micah. We gave 449 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: him an offer all these things. Moulighetta is like a 450 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: specter in the background of all the agent. He doesn't 451 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: even get his name anymore. And all that we talked 452 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: about it the iWatch of flex podcast Shameless Plug as 453 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: we do our season previews. This news broke that Micah 454 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: Parsons was being traded to the Packers right before we 455 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: sat down to record our latest episode. So that's up. 456 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: Wherever you grab your audio, please download it and again 457 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: evangelize send it to friends and family. And we got 458 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: deep into it. But I thought this was going to 459 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: drag out, So I felt kind of wounded that they 460 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: stole a storyline from me as the start of the 461 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: season was going. And then it's doubly wounded because Michael 462 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: Parson's now going to be patrolling and trying to kill 463 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams in the NFC North. So a lot spins 464 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: off it. But you were back home in Wisconsin. I 465 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: got to imagine the car flags were flying a little 466 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: bit higher. 467 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: It was an interesting twenty four to forty eight hours, Mike, 468 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 2: just because, as you said, all of the things that 469 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 2: went on between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons were stuff 470 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: that we expected. To your point, I think many of 471 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 2: us felt ultimately the get a deal. Even when you 472 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: heard the Cowboys are listening to trade offers, I felt 473 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: that that was part of the game. 474 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: But it went but it went very quickly to listening 475 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: to trade offers to finality, right like it just ramped up. 476 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 2: Really yes, I would say within within a day. Right, 477 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 2: it was about with within a day. But when you 478 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: heard that, when I heard the news, I didn't even 479 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: beat an eye to it because I just felt again 480 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 2: that it's it's part of the game. This is what 481 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 2: teams do. John Kon, who once played for the Packers 482 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 2: and media personality in the state of Wisconsin Packers Radio 483 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 2: network as well, tweeted Micah Parsons Micah freaking Parsons or 484 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 2: something to the effect on maybe late Tuesday, early Wednesday, 485 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: because it was the talk on Wednesday on what does 486 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 2: what does he know? Because the Packers have been a 487 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: team that's been linked to acquiring Parsons, and you just 488 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: you felt that it was fodder. Mic But this is 489 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 2: what people we're talking about. People wanted to know if 490 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 2: they were going to get Michaeh. Parsons, they being the 491 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers, and then Mike for it to happen, 492 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 2: for it to happen a day later, it was. It 493 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 2: did not rival the Reggie White signing, but I can't 494 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: say that it was much different considering the excitement of 495 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: your team now acquiring this player, and because of that, 496 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 2: and because of Green Bay's activity, I feel that the 497 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 2: team to beat the NFC right now because of how 498 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 2: big of a splash this actually was, not only for 499 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 2: Dallas actually dealing him, but now for the Packers and 500 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: their fans to get a player of this calendary. 501 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: The comparisons to Reggie White all over and obviously a 502 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: guy at the top of his game joining him. You've 503 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: heard the stat right, four straight seasons with at least 504 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: twelve sacks, the only guy to do that other than 505 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons Reggie White. So you get all those big 506 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: moments for me. And it's something we went at fully 507 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: at the podcast Devil in The Details to it all is, 508 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,479 Speaker 1: you know you had to change in your president right 509 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 1: ed policy takes over. You know they have the mandatory 510 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: retirement age from Mark Murphy. So he goes out like 511 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: this is seismic as a team right for the Packers, 512 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: not not just from a because because it's a different 513 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: way of doing business, right, Reggie White, Okay, it comes in. 514 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: That's we're going back thirty years. Normally, they're not big 515 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: in free agency. They're not making big splashes. So suddenly 516 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: you're you're talking about a deal that is capped off 517 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: by a nearly two hundred million dollars contract. Very eyebrow raising, right, Packers. 518 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: We we always get the financials right. So we know 519 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: they get their four hundred and thirty two million dollars 520 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: from the from the big kitty of the national media rights. 521 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: And we know they do well locally, they travel locally, 522 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: global brand history, et cetera. But playing in these waters 523 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: is a different world. So I think if you're looking 524 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: at across the NFC, to your point, Dan, it's a 525 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: new way of doing business and a new world order. 526 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: Last night, look their second favorites in the NFC. They're 527 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: tied with Detroit at twelve to one for the Super Bowl, 528 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: but they are now the leader in NFC North odds 529 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: ahead of those lines. 530 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit better schedule or easier schedule can 531 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: can aid them in that. I think that they are 532 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: the team to beat, and even though Philadelphia is the 533 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: defending Super Bowl champions. It's just the fact that Green 534 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 2: Bay says, all right, we're all in. This is where 535 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: we're going, this is who we want. Excuse me, you 536 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 2: mentioned Rigie White. There was this signing of Charles Woodson 537 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 2: as well. Sure those were free agent signings. This is 538 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 2: a team that is also known to trade away their players. 539 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 2: Devonte Adams traded away like these are players. This is 540 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: something that Green Bay doesn't necessarily do you see the 541 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 2: success that they had in signing Josh Jacobs last year 542 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: in free agency and now you add another player this 543 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 2: time via Trey and only giving up two number one picks. 544 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a Packers fan, you got to 545 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 2: love this new new age Packer team with Brian Goodakouts 546 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: running the show. And to have the guts to do 547 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 2: it and to be able to get it at that price, 548 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 2: they had to be, you know, pinching themselves. 549 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, two first round picks and you get rid of 550 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: a defensive tackle who, let's face it, as coming off 551 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: a bad season on the down side of his career. 552 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: He's got a great, great resume, so unfortunately he becomes 553 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: the trivia question answered Kenny Clark. But a three time 554 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl All of that, but that's a huge contract 555 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: that comes off, and that was where I was really 556 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: on the Dallas side of it. Mike. I can understand 557 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: if you go all in recognizing it's time to change, 558 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: this isn't working whatever, but your timing was terrible and 559 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: you still took on a twenty million dollars salary and 560 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: trying to sell people, Hey, we need to stop the run. 561 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: It's like, what are we doing? 562 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 4: Yeah? 563 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: Such a such a backhanded not a maybe it's not 564 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: a backhanded cut. I mean, that's not the way to 565 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: put it. But it just sure seemed that Michaeh Parsons 566 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: caught astray in that in that scenario, and Green Bay's 567 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 2: I'm sure fine with it. They feel that their time 568 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: is now and you need somebody to get after Jared 569 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: Goff and Caleb Williams and and Michaeh Parsons is now 570 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: that guy, and whether he is there isn't. Green Bay 571 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: is all in right now, And to me, it raises 572 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: the stakes so much on Jordan Love because of what 573 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 2: is there. It may not be, they may not be 574 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: a complete team. McKenny clark was getting older, so hopefully 575 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 2: you have some young guys that can they can fill 576 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: that spot. They've had success. You know, they brought in 577 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: Xavier McKinney last year free agency. He was great for them. 578 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 2: The pieces are there, and even if the pieces weren't there, Mike, 579 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: I think still Green Bay now would be the team 580 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: to beat because they had the guts to do this 581 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 2: deal and they and I'm not sure, I'm the teams 582 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 2: were in on Micah Parsons. Shocked at the Cowboys traded 583 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: him within conference, but the Eagles commanders NFC Championship game, 584 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 2: the whole deal. That's fine. Green Bay right now is 585 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 2: the team to beat because they had the guts to 586 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 2: make this deal to get Michael. 587 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: They're over underwent up a game. So you can now 588 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: answer that question how much is Michael Parsons worth? It 589 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: went from nine and a half to ten and a 590 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: half in terms of the total. And just to put 591 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: the button on the Jerry things like the two picks, 592 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: it's like one. It's a low number of picks. Both 593 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: of those are going to be in the low twenties. Sure, yes, 594 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: because the Packers are gonna be good at. 595 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: Worst probably, yes, right thirty. 596 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: Rates completely wrong? 597 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 2: Right? 598 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: Yes it should yeah, but yeah, it's it's a no brainer. 599 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: Now in Dallas, does he move the needle and win 600 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: you games? No, you saw what it is. So I 601 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: think you know this is where we separate. I really 602 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: like the great player, but we're not getting over by 603 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: the way. I would kill for three games three years 604 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: where Mike team wins twelve games a year for everybody 605 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: wants to keep killing Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Yes, 606 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: they haven't had postseason success, but they're at least relevant. No, 607 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: not just because of talking heads and because he's a 608 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: loud mouthed Their team actually is at the north side 609 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: of five hundred most years, which I haven't seen in 610 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: my lifetime, going back to the mid eighties to that. 611 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 2: Point, do you think that your Bears were better equipped 612 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: than these Packers were when the Bears acquired Khalil Mack 613 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 2: or do you think that the Packers are in a 614 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: better situation when they acquired Michael Parsons Packers. I agree 615 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,479 Speaker 2: with that one hundred percent. And that Bears team, they 616 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 2: they made the playoffs that year. Yeah, that was the 617 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: double doink gear and so that's so that's why I say, like, 618 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: even with Philadelphia being the defending Super Bowl champs and 619 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 2: the Commanders making it to the NFC Championship Game in Detroit, 620 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: having the best record last year. When you make this 621 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: big of splash, it puts an enormous target on your back. 622 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 2: And I feel that we've talked about the Cowboys and 623 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 2: the Cowboys angle of this ever since the deal was made. 624 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: But now when you look at the NFC, see to 625 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 2: be Green Bay is now that team. They're the team 626 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: to beat. 627 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely exciting moment. And look, we love things that shake 628 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: up a league. We don't get seismic shifts like this, 629 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: but we did this time. Hey, let's turn it over 630 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: to Isaac lohen Kraw get an update of what's going 631 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: on in our sporting universe here on a busy Sunday, Hello, 632 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: Mike and Dan. 633 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 5: Busy indeed is Major League Baseball and its players Association 634 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 5: announced a short time ago that they've agreed to extend 635 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 5: the administrative leave of Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanual Clause and 636 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 5: Luis Ortiz, who are the subjects of a gambling investigation 637 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 5: until further notice.

Back off a trip and a lot of 802 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: college football. 803 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 2: Watch lots of college football dated back to Thursday. Thursday 804 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 2: games going on, and Mike next week at this time, 805 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 2: the early window will just beginning underway, and that first Sunday, 806 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 2: as you said, we are a week away, but we 807 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 2: are at the point one o'clock eastern if I'm being factual, 808 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 2: one o two Eastern times ten oh two Pacific games 809 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 2: will be underway twelve oh two in the Central time 810 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 2: zone where I just was NFL back officially in less 811 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,399 Speaker 2: than a week. And as much Mike as I love 812 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 2: the Thursday and the Friday games that they give us, 813 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 2: it's this window. It's at first week where all the 814 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,399 Speaker 2: games are going on, where I really feel it's back. 815 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 2: It's almost like that, like the cowboys and egos are 816 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 2: the bread that they put on on the table before 817 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,919 Speaker 2: the meal. But you're like, you love the bread. Bread's magnificent. Heck, 818 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 2: give me two loaves, give me Chargers Chiefs the next night. 819 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,800 Speaker 2: But when you get that main course, that's that's what 820 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 2: the Sunday early window is. 821 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: Well, you get all those games, the football start flying, 822 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: all those kickoffs, we have those, the early window always chaos. 823 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: And then the rhyme and reason of why there's only 824 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: one or two games in the afternoon. We can fight 825 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: about that forever, scheduling gods that they are. But two 826 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two glorious regular season games to your point, yeah, 827 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: we get the little opera TIF right, it's the one 828 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: bite because you're not gonna load up I mean, maybe 829 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: you load up up bread because you're an Eagles fan. Right, 830 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: So this is the only thing that matters the rest 831 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 1: of the week you're playing the Cowboys, so you get 832 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: the extra bonus of maybe ruining another week or sending 833 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: people in Dallas already into a tailspin. But are very 834 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: difficult few months, and I know you got the consolation 835 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 1: prize and Cooper Flag's gonna show up for the Mavericks, 836 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: all right, So you saved something out of that Luca deal. 837 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: Not to mention you brought in Anthony Davis for his 838 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: sixty games or whatever he's gonna play for you. But 839 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: you got something. But you were already wounded, and now 840 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is gone. Not that you were expecting grand things, 841 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: Let's face it, they gotta be real real about these things. 842 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: You're over under was seven and a half or eight 843 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: with or without MICHAEH. Parsons. But now you move forward 844 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, this could get ugly, right, 845 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 1: I mean, because you can go get run off the 846 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: field on Thursday night, so Friday you come back and 847 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: now it's a little bit of desperation. Maybe you've added 848 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: an extra glass of wine to take some of the 849 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 1: sting of that game off. For that Chargers Chiefs game 850 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,760 Speaker 1: in Brazil, I don't know whatever happened with that class 851 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: action lawsuits. People were mad I paid for this the 852 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: damn games in Brazil, you know. 853 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you just quickly, just because of the schedule. 854 00:44:55,239 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 2: I understand the weight and how the NFL loves to 855 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 2: have the Super Bowl champ open at home to open 856 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 2: the season, But wouldn't it make more sense to have 857 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 2: the Brazil game be first on Thursday, to give those 858 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 2: teams another day of rest, Yes, and then have the 859 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 2: Cowboys and Eagles play on Friday. I think when you 860 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 2: play that opening week like, it's such an advantage for 861 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 2: the Eagles to get the game and whoever plays in 862 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 2: that game. But that would make it a little bit 863 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 2: more sense to me. But it makes sense. 864 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:31,840 Speaker 1: Twelve hour flight, four hour time different, So there you go. 865 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: It's fuzzy math as you look at the way that 866 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: system set up. But yeah, I think the extra day 867 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,320 Speaker 1: would be huge, right, coming back off the travel and 868 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: getting back and reacclimated ahead of week two. You know 869 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: my feelings about starting off with a lot of division games, yes, right, 870 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: because especially when we don't play a lot in the 871 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 1: preseason anymore, and always to a point that one of 872 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: our college football analystis brought upnumber of times with Smith 873 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,760 Speaker 1: and I on our show. In terms of tune ups, aget, 874 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: not that there's any tune ups in the National Football League, 875 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: but when we still wait the divisions so heavily that 876 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: you're coming in week one all guns blazing, and then 877 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: you'll go maybe eight ten weeks where you don't play 878 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: another division game, depending on your schedule. Right, we watch it, 879 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you're backloaded in the 880 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,399 Speaker 1: final three or four weeks of the season where most 881 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: teams are what eighty percent at best of what we 882 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 1: thought in are all twenty two coming out into the season. 883 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, let's wait that. Have me that 884 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: the first or second week when you've changed out a 885 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: lot of bodies, coaches, coordinators and everything else heavyweight, and 886 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: then come back in the final three weeks of a season, 887 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,879 Speaker 1: we'll play that. I play you, I play somebody else, 888 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:55,399 Speaker 1: I play you again for all the marbles. When we're 889 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 1: the attrition is so great. So like trying to find 890 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: that perfect scheduling algorith rhythm is always to me a 891 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: tough and awful business. 892 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 2: Well, I think, gosh, was it last year, Mike that 893 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:12,240 Speaker 2: your bears opened up with Tennessee and they played Houston. 894 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, they had three AFC South. 895 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they got weeks. So they got those out 896 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 2: of the way. Why can't we do that with everybody? 897 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 2: Make those cross conference games and then guess what weeks 898 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,720 Speaker 2: four and six? Since, by the way, since we're making 899 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,319 Speaker 2: up things now like rivalry games. Sure, And the reason 900 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 2: I say making them up is because we've always had 901 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 2: rivalry games. We didn't need jerseys to tell us. 902 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: Did you buy it? 903 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: Well, no, absolutely not. And it's starting to it's really 904 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 2: becoming the NBA aspect of it, which I can't stand. 905 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 2: There's too much of the jersey stuff. But we know 906 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 2: what the rivalries are. You don't need to tell us 907 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 2: and for us to wear a jersey or a helmet 908 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,879 Speaker 2: to tell us that it's a rivalry. And the other 909 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,399 Speaker 2: thing that makes it great those rivalries, Mike, are those 910 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 2: uniforms that make them. 911 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: It's the history that has it. 912 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely So how about this instead of doing all 913 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,760 Speaker 2: of that, make weeks four, five, and six your division games, 914 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,240 Speaker 2: figure out away or make it a four week window 915 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 2: and then give certain teams buys in certain ways and 916 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 2: then you move off of that. Make it make it 917 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 2: like sweeps weeks week in TV, right with all of 918 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,800 Speaker 2: the with all of the top episodes of TV going. 919 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: On stunt casting, let's go. 920 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's things that you could do in the 921 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 2: NFL to make to make your scheduling a little bit better. 922 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 2: I think all of these teams should start out with 923 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 2: cross conference games to start this season. If you're the 924 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 2: AFC North and you're playing, you know, the the NFC South, 925 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 2: Guess what, Panther Steelers, You're opening up the season like, 926 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 2: that's that's what it should be. Bengals, guess what You're 927 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 2: gonna go down to New Orleans and play the Saints. 928 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 2: That's what That's what you need to have. So many 929 00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 2: division games Tampa, Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, Detroit, Green Bay, 930 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 2: in New York, Washington. Then then the two games that 931 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 2: we talk about to start out the season. You don't 932 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 2: think the AFC West could come down to a Chief's 933 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 2: Chargers go exactly. I actually think it's probably more penalizing 934 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,399 Speaker 2: the Chiefs because they don't get that the fact though 935 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 2: home game ish against the Chargers because of the Chiefs 936 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 2: fans that will will fill so far. So in that regard, Mike, 937 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 2: it's maybe not as much of an advantage for them, 938 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 2: but still that game. You shouldn't have two contenders in 939 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,359 Speaker 2: the division playing in time zones away when so much 940 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 2: is at stake and you're putting so much weight in 941 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 2: those division titles. 942 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 1: He do you take the home coffers man? Think of 943 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: all the beers and nacho helmets and everything else you 944 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: don't get to sell, right, I mean just crazy.

Garrett nus 961 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 1: Meyer is now your favorite at plus seven hundred. Jeremiah 962 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:41,240 Speaker 1: Smith second at plus twelve hundred, John Mattier plus thirteen hundred, 963 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: A Carson Beck who's yet to play, plus fourteen hundred, 964 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 1: Kid Club Nick plus fourteen hundred, Arch Manning all the 965 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,320 Speaker 1: way out to plus sixteen hundred. He was the plus 966 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 1: six hundred favorite before kickoff against Ohio State yesterday. Bye 967 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: Low Bye, Now, I think you got an opportunity to 968 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 1: right Leonora Sellers South Carolina at plus fifteen hundred, and 969 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 1: then you start moving guys around. 970 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 2: Right. 971 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 1: We look at nus Meyer, Club Nick, who battled yesterday. 972 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: They were part of our answer from the feud seventeen 973 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: to ten, another kind of defensive battle, but nus Meyer 974 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 1: leading the seventy three yard drive to get him the W. 975 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 3: There is. 976 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 2: Again LSU can LSU, and at times they lsu'd last night, 977 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 2: which I felt kept Clemson in the game. Fumbling the 978 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,879 Speaker 2: first half gets Clemson in early three to nothing lead 979 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,399 Speaker 2: LSU to me was in the driver's seat. I thought 980 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 2: that nus Meyer and when we were even talking, draft 981 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 2: of his name being brought up, Mike, I love that name, 982 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 2: but I still think that there is I mean both. 983 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,800 Speaker 2: I love the name nus Meyer as it is, but 984 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 2: I do like Garrett nus Meyer as a quarterback. So 985 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 2: when I say that, I do mean that. And I 986 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 2: thought at times last year he was magnificent, but he 987 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,800 Speaker 2: was bad. He was bad, And this is what happens 988 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 2: with LSU. There's just there's some wacky stuff that goes 989 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 2: on with him at times. But you win that road 990 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,919 Speaker 2: game against the top five team in college football, you're 991 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 2: obviously going to vault yourself to the top of the 992 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 2: to the top of the food chain in a year 993 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 2: where there again isn't like a standout player outside of arts. 994 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 2: So arch takes the step back with the performance against 995 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 2: Ohio State and now opens the door like if club 996 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,799 Speaker 2: Nick and I thought that Clubnick did about as much 997 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 2: as he could yesterday they didn't have the ball a ton. 998 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 2: But if Clubnick is still in the top five after that, 999 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 2: then what are we I think I think it was 1000 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 2: top five or top eight at least of what you said. 1001 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 2: So I mean it allows other guys, specifically a guy 1002 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 2: like Archie Manning, to get back into the into the 1003 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 2: race and at some point LSU will LSU, which will 1004 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,320 Speaker 2: then change the odds to something else. I do like 1005 00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:58,720 Speaker 2: Garrett Nesmeyer as a quarterback. 1006 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,240 Speaker 1: He ask me. There, I'm just saying you mentioned the upsets, 1007 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 1: three top five losses, five teams in the top twenty 1008 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: five taken l in Week one, Alabama loses as a 1009 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: double digit favorite. That's the fourth time that's happened under 1010 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,440 Speaker 1: Klen Debor. Guy, I ain't been there that long. No, 1011 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that you had Nick Saban do that 1012 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: in a lifetime. 1013 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 2: And I, unfortunately because if travel didn't get to see 1014 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 2: a lot of the game LSU Clemson. I got to 1015 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,719 Speaker 2: see a bunch because it was when I was in 1016 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,799 Speaker 2: the air. But the yeah, I just think that people 1017 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,840 Speaker 2: made a mistake. And it's not meant to disrespect Kailen 1018 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 2: de Boor because they have brought in talent there, but 1019 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 2: there is something with having Nick Saban on your sidelines. 1020 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:45,760 Speaker 2: And also, when is Alabama not played in that kickoff 1021 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 2: game to start off the year, like in Atlanta or 1022 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,959 Speaker 2: in Dallas, in that neutral site. I give them credit 1023 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,399 Speaker 2: for going to Tallahassee last year. They ended up having 1024 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 2: a home and home with Wisconsin. They were at Camp Branda. 1025 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,040 Speaker 2: Last year they won the game against the Badgers. This 1026 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,879 Speaker 2: year they fall short. It wasn't an opener last year, 1027 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 2: but this is an opener. Mic at least they were 1028 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 2: in Tallahassee to do it. But to think that things 1029 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 2: are just going to be the same because it's Alabama, 1030 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 2: I just I think you're mistaken. 1031 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,840 Speaker 1: Thirty one seventeen year final that ended a streak of 1032 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,439 Speaker 1: twenty three straight season opening wins for the Crimson Tide. 1033 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 1: To your point, the neutral sites and a lot of that. 1034 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,360 Speaker 1: But let me bring it back because we've got two stories. 1035 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: Because we talked jerseys, we'll push that one ahead of 1036 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: our fantasy football conversation. But this is Pete fu Tech. 1037 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,719 Speaker 1: I keep screaming this every FBS team, especially Texas, Kauf 1038 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: Arch Manning Cough and Ohio State, after seeing this so far, 1039 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 1: should play a home game against an FCS team in 1040 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,719 Speaker 1: Week zero. Get all the wrinkles out, just to tune 1041 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,399 Speaker 1: it up. Now. I love our kickoff Klatt like when 1042 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 1: we get matchups like this, but I understand his logic 1043 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,399 Speaker 1: to it of are we seeing the best from these 1044 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: squads coming out of the gate, not only as we 1045 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 1: talk down in distance, in play calling, and maybe some 1046 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 1: conservative part with an eye to the expanded playoff. That's 1047 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 1: that's not going away no matter whether you play that 1048 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 1: week two or week three, but in terms of just 1049 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 1: getting some active snaps so that when we do get 1050 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,920 Speaker 1: these two teams battling, we've gotten the cobwebs out, we've 1051 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 1: got we've shaken off the rust, and we got after it. 1052 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 2: And then I can understand as reasoning in that we 1053 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 2: just wouldn't pay nearly as much attention as yesterday. It 1054 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,279 Speaker 2: would be like it was the week before with the 1055 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 2: Week zero, people trying to trick themselves into caring about 1056 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 2: Iowa State and Kansas State because it was. 1057 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:38,879 Speaker 1: You didn't care. 1058 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 2: I did not care, did not care about the farm 1059 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 2: again in Dublin. I did not care about that, And 1060 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 2: I don't think that we would care. The reason why 1061 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,800 Speaker 2: we cared so much about yesterday was because it was 1062 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 2: Texas and Ohio State, because it was LSU Clemson, because 1063 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 2: it was Florida State Alabama. Maybe we do get better 1064 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,879 Speaker 2: games for that, but it would just be a throwaway week. 1065 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 2: Maybe that's maybe that's what what we should do. Then, 1066 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,320 Speaker 2: just have everybody start a week earlier and play that 1067 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 2: bad game that you need as a as a refresher, 1068 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 2: and then everybody's on the on the up and up. 1069 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 2: Somebody will get upset and be like, why are we 1070 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,279 Speaker 2: doing this? We just lost to an FCS team. We 1071 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,799 Speaker 2: know that's going to happen. Sure, maybe that's the reason why, 1072 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, we would not care about. 1073 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 1: It, yeah, because I mean, I look, scheduling is neither 1074 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 1: here nor there. We're gonna watch the games, they're gonna 1075 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,840 Speaker 1: put them on. We're gonna watch whatever they are. But 1076 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,360 Speaker 1: it's always that question. When the SEC does, they're basically 1077 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,759 Speaker 1: they're week off ahead of rivalry week. 1078 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 2: Uh huh. 1079 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, all these years like versus scheduling it early like 1080 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,879 Speaker 1: most conferences and teams have done, Like there's never going 1081 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,360 Speaker 1: to be in equity. I mean, SEC finally going to 1082 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,759 Speaker 1: nine conference games is a big deal. But but I 1083 00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 1: think your point is absolutely the right one, and we 1084 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: just treat it as another week. Yes, And I think 1085 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,320 Speaker 1: part of the part of the allure, especially this matchup, 1086 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 1: like we'll just stick on Ohio State Texas, was the 1087 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 1: it's just so much unknown because we hadn't seen it correct, right, 1088 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:04,839 Speaker 1: it was the build up, it's like, all right, I've 1089 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 1: got a bunch of teaser trailers of what arch man 1090 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,279 Speaker 1: it could be. I know his family history. I've seen 1091 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: every pundit fall all over themselves to build a statue 1092 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: and crown him before he's taken an actual, meaningful snap. 1093 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: So I'm getting my popcorn. I'm gonna watch. Right, it's 1094 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 1: the blockbuster you've been teasing for six months, Like, well, 1095 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 1: it's got all my favorite actors in. I gotta be 1096 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: at the theater. 1097 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 2: I gotta go. 1098 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 1: It's the extension of whatever, the Marvel universe, the DC 1099 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 1: universe for those that celebrate or whatever, and the next 1100 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 1: Jurassic Park, whatever it is that you gotta be there. 1101 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: And maybe that gets taken away if we see him 1102 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 1: play four quarters or three quarters against the lesser. 1103 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 2: Opponent, maybe they do open it up a little bit. 1104 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 2: I still think that the stakes would be the same 1105 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 2: for Texas, and I think that's why things were played 1106 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,440 Speaker 2: the way played out the way that they did, and 1107 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 2: Texas is still in the national championship hunt. We've seen 1108 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 2: teams Ohio State they lost their last regular season game 1109 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 2: to Michigan, you know, and end up going on the 1110 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 2: run that they do. But also in that window was 1111 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 2: a lost by Ohio State to Oregon in a game 1112 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 2: at Eugene where the Ducks stormed the field. That was 1113 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 2: a great, great win. And then what happens to the 1114 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 2: Rose Bowl, Ohio State gets revenge. There's no reason why 1115 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 2: Texas couldn't do the same to Ohio State if there 1116 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 2: is a rematch in the College Football Playoff. I understand 1117 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 2: Pete's thinking of this, and I'm actually gonna do something 1118 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 2: like that. I rarely, rarely ever do is I will 1119 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 2: defend the SEC in this way. Well, I can't defend 1120 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 2: them playing the eight conference games that they had for 1121 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 2: so long, which will change as you said, to nine. 1122 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 2: There have been times where like South Carolina faces Georgia, 1123 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,919 Speaker 2: or like Texas A and M in like the first 1124 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 2: couple of weeks of the season, like they've played earlier 1125 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 2: conference games because of that non conference game scheduled later. 1126 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 2: So then you ask yourself what is better for you 1127 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 2: playing an early conference game or pushing it off like 1128 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 2: at the Big Ten. Because we say that in November 1129 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 2: when it's happening. Oh look at look at Alabama's welcoming 1130 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 2: Charleston Southern to town before their Iron Bowl matchup with Auburn. 1131 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,040 Speaker 2: But were we saying that when they were playing an 1132 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 2: SEC opponent the second week of the season, or Texas 1133 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,960 Speaker 2: A and M was going on the road, or South Carolina. 1134 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 2: We didn't say those things. Then We're just like, oh, hey, 1135 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 2: great South Carolina and Texas A and M, or playing 1136 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,840 Speaker 2: South Carolina and Georgia or a game to watch. Yes, 1137 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 2: but in September, like to play a conference game that 1138 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 2: early end of the season, which some SEC schools have, 1139 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 2: and Florida and Georgia and you know those schools have 1140 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 2: played in South Carolina. Gonna mention them again. They're playing 1141 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 2: rivalry games against Florida State, playing rivalry games against Georgia Tech, 1142 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 2: playing Rovberry games against Clemson. So there has been that 1143 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 2: part of the schedule. As much as we wanted to 1144 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 2: to diss the SEC and say eight game schedule doesn't matter, 1145 00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 2: there are some schools that were playing legit non conference 1146 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:06,120 Speaker 2: games through their schedules and we just didn't necessarily always 1147 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 2: notice that or bring that to the attention about that. 1148 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 1: In college football, if you could have a rivalry jersey 1149 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: that you sell for each one of those weeks, Dan Byer. 1150 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 2: It's a new uniform every week with some of these schools. 1151 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 1: We're get ducks at Dan Byer on Fox at Swall 1152 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 1: and note where you find me, and we're over at 1153 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Coming up a couple of quick college 1154 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 1: stories to talk about. One what is storming the field 1155 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,520 Speaker 1: cost you? And the other a jersey gate and it 1156 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: involves my alma mater. We'll do that and some fantasy 1157 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: football as we continue. It's Fox Football, Son Dad, Fox 1158 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Welcome back in It's Fox Football Sunday, Fox 1159 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,040 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Mike carb and Dan Bayer with you at 1160 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 1: Dan Byer on Fox. Where you find Dan here in 1161 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: Middays during the week part of The Gottlieb Show, and 1162 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: Cavino and Rich hear me weeknights with Jason Smith all 1163 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 1: things Mets, Jets, Bears, and so on and so forth. 1164 01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 1: As we get you through the games Mondays and Thursdays. 1165 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:04,480 Speaker 1: Let us be your companion with your NFL viewing experience 1166 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,160 Speaker 1: as we get into week one in earnest, but a 1167 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,600 Speaker 1: couple last notes Dan from the College Football where we 1168 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: talked a lot about the games and the pomp and circumstance, 1169 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: the pageantry Florida State after their big win. They're going 1170 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,960 Speaker 1: to be subjected to a pretty big fine based on 1171 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: new league rules. So we're looking at a fifty thousand 1172 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: dollars fine, which I think. You know, you've got plenty 1173 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 1: of alums that'll check that off really fast. 1174 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 2: I think they'll be happy to write the check. And again, 1175 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 2: great to have that as an on campus game. My 1176 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 2: question now, Mike though, and I will, I will fight 1177 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 2: to my last breath to keep preseason polls, because if 1178 01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 2: we didn't have preseason polls, Florida State probably wouldn't have 1179 01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 2: rushed the field if it was just Alabama and Florida State. 1180 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 2: I understand the label of Alabama and who they are, 1181 01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 2: but it makes it that much better when there's a 1182 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 2: number eight next to their name instead of just being Alabama. 1183 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 2: And in the end, Mic, ultimately we may come to 1184 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 2: look at the season and be like, oh, guess what 1185 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 2: that wasn't an upset? Florida State was the better team 1186 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:17,520 Speaker 2: throughout this season and on that Saturday over Alabama. However, 1187 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,800 Speaker 2: we don't get those sorts of moments without preseason rankings. 1188 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: To that point, I've been thinking of Florida State just 1189 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:28,760 Speaker 1: a year ago, yes, where it went way right and 1190 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 1: it was the blue check mark. It's actually five hundred 1191 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 1: grand I thought that was wrong. I thought that was light. 1192 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,840 Speaker 1: It's a five hundred thousand dollars fine. Again, plenty of 1193 01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: alums that will shake that out like it's the rocks 1194 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,960 Speaker 1: at Shawshank to pay that off after what was a 1195 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: resounding victory. 1196 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 2: That again, and it's being replayed right now on the 1197 01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,720 Speaker 2: ACC Network. Alabama fans, you won't want to turn to 1198 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 2: it because your team is still down in this game. However, Mike, 1199 01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,520 Speaker 2: this is also one of those wins that gets you 1200 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 2: back on track after what happens last year. I'd covered 1201 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 2: a few Florida State games and it was a funky 1202 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 2: time because it was the end of the Bobby Bowden 1203 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 2: era before Jimbo Fisher takes over and they win that 1204 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 2: national championship that we talked about earlier. So there was 1205 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 2: kind of there was a bit of a malaise over 1206 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 2: it because you were good, but you weren't great. You 1207 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 2: would maybe win a game here or there, but you 1208 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 2: weren't in the top echelon. Then we saw what happened 1209 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago with Jordan Travis and the 1210 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 2: run that they made, and I think that threw a 1211 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 2: lot of energy into the program that it hadn't had 1212 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 2: for a while. But this is what this sort of 1213 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 2: win does is it gets you excited for the rest 1214 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 2: of the season and out though Campbell Stadium should be 1215 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 2: filled to the brim if the Knowles continue to do 1216 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:54,200 Speaker 2: what they're doing. 1217 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 1: I hope is the dangerous thing, but it's the most exciting, 1218 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 1: right again, stealing from Shawshank the best of things, but 1219 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 1: also can crush your soul. So now that you have 1220 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: this big upset win, but without the rankings, we know 1221 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:07,440 Speaker 1: we got nothing. 1222 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,680 Speaker 2: No, and speaking of soul crushing, Northwestern, what a terrible 1223 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 2: effort against Tulane. In the opener. 1224 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 1: You know, you travel and come up with expectations are low, right, 1225 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 1: They were five hundred to one to win the title, 1226 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: and you're looking at a conference of eighteen where they 1227 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:33,080 Speaker 1: were looking to finish well sixteenth according to most polls. 1228 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: As it were, they put up a terrible effort for interceptions, 1229 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 1: five turnovers overall, and a crushing loss to Tulane. But 1230 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Tulaine head coach John Sumrawl after the game just kind 1231 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 1: of pointed out, all right, it's twenty three to three, 1232 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: we win. It's great, but we're marking twenty years since 1233 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 1: Hurricane Katrina. So they petitioned to where the white Jerseys 1234 01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 1: at home and evidently were denied by Northwestern administer in that, 1235 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 1: to which Summraw had some very choice words for the 1236 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 1: way that played out. And you know me, I'd love 1237 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: to hear those discussions. It's always the all right, let's 1238 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 1: inform the process. But Northwestern coming off of the Pat 1239 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald settlement that came down of wrongful termination and dereliction 1240 01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 1: of duties by some people. That was a big hot 1241 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,120 Speaker 1: button story when he was dismissed, hazing and all of 1242 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 1: these things. Ultimately they had to write a two page 1243 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:36,160 Speaker 1: letter of apology that unfounded he had no knowledge whatever. 1244 01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:40,160 Speaker 1: And then, as we talked about back then, Dan, from 1245 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,920 Speaker 1: my side, it was always the old question of should 1246 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 1: you know everything and every piece of any bit of 1247 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 1: back and forth between players, coaches, whatever in a university, 1248 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 1: which is I think foolhardy to have that standard. And 1249 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: I've always argued that in this case, they're finding it 1250 01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 1: might have been even worse of a gap than that. 1251 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,840 Speaker 1: So they had to do the maya culpa and then 1252 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,800 Speaker 1: they go and get worked. Oh and then you get sunned, 1253 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: not only in the game, but by the coach saying, 1254 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,840 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeheah, they wouldn't let us commemorate the white 1255 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 1: jerseys like they wore that first game back after Hurricane 1256 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Trina twenty years ago. Just horrible looks for the university 1257 01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:18,479 Speaker 1: all around. 1258 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:22,120 Speaker 2: And I think it was because of the sun sun 1259 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:26,160 Speaker 2: or the temperatures that Northwestern is like, we're going to 1260 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 2: stay in our whites, because that would be the only 1261 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,640 Speaker 2: reason you're playing in New Orleans. It's late August. I'm 1262 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 2: guessing it wasn't the coolest of days, and we see 1263 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 2: it in the NFL Stadium's Mike. I'm actually going to 1264 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 2: take up for your school where I feel they were 1265 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 2: caught in a between a rock and a hard place. 1266 01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:49,120 Speaker 2: So not only are they going to they're going to Tulane, 1267 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,640 Speaker 2: They're going to New Orleans to play this game, which is, 1268 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 2: by the way, tip of the captain Northwestern to have 1269 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 2: a big ten s shot go play on the road 1270 01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 2: at Tulane. But now you're talking about probably the warmest 1271 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,920 Speaker 2: or hottest game you're gonna play all season, and so 1272 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 2: you're already taking the steps of we're going there. I 1273 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 2: understand completely why tou Lane would be upset, But I 1274 01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 2: think Northwestern, I'm going to stick up for your people 1275 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 2: just said, we may not win this game anyway, but 1276 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 2: we're gonna have a better chance if we can wear 1277 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:27,360 Speaker 2: our whites instead of our black uniforms or our purple uniforms. 1278 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 2: That may we see it in the NFL first two 1279 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,439 Speaker 2: or three weeks. Teams you're wearing white at home because 1280 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 2: they want to be cooler. And I would have to 1281 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 2: think that that would be Northwestern's explanation. Not that they 1282 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:41,360 Speaker 2: didn't want to allow tu Lane to honor the twentieth year, but. 1283 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 1: That's just it, right, You're going, like, you go down 1284 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 1: the process, what's that worth in a point spread? That's 1285 01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:50,200 Speaker 1: that's the big question. Like psychologically, I get okay, I'm hotter, 1286 01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, but there's a humanity. I mean, like, it's 1287 01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 1: a very tough spot. It's hard to condemn them fully, 1288 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 1: but on the end of a week that you've had 1289 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 1: with everything else in the administration and all, to just 1290 01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:10,960 Speaker 1: have this be like, oh, by the way, didn't let 1291 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 1: us do our tribute to Katrina the way we wanted to. 1292 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it makes them. It puts them in 1293 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 2: such a bad spot. But I think that I understand it, 1294 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 2: like I get it, like you can go so far. Again, Mike, 1295 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 2: this wasn't This wasn't a scenario where it was a 1296 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:34,960 Speaker 2: neutral site game. Northwestern is traveling there, so again they 1297 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 2: have already got their backs against the wall, to use 1298 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,760 Speaker 2: a cliche of what they're up against. But to be 1299 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 2: able to yeah, I know, because it's easy. It's easy 1300 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 2: to say, you know what, you got it. Absolutely, it's 1301 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 2: easy to do that. But then you think about it, 1302 01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 2: the first game of the year, are we going to 1303 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 2: just be completely zapped? I was in Chicago on Wednesday, 1304 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 2: Mike north. 1305 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 1: Oh, no, it's not pretty. 1306 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 2: It was seventy degrees. It was beautiful out. It was sunny. 1307 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 2: So when you then go down to the south or 1308 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 2: you got humidity, I could I guess I understand what 1309 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 2: was on their mind. 1310 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, actually you got a little little break in the 1311 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 1: weather for you there. That worked out nicely for your 1312 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,800 Speaker 1: your trip back. Let's see, the point spread for that 1313 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: one was six and a half. What's it worth? That's all? 1314 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 1: Because I would then argue, it's like, okay, if. 1315 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 2: You were that much worse, I know, I am, yes? 1316 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 1: Or was that a talking point that maybe you gave 1317 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 1: them something else to be riled up about. When you're 1318 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 1: traveling on the. 1319 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,960 Speaker 2: Road, there's there's a saying that says the easiest thing 1320 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 2: to do isn't always the right thing. This case, it was. 1321 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 5: It was the. 1322 01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,640 Speaker 2: Easiest thing to do, and it probably was the right 1323 01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 2: thing to let Toulane do it. But I get it, 1324 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 2: I get it from Northwestern's perspective. I don't think that 1325 01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 2: they meant to come off that way. I don't think 1326 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,639 Speaker 2: that they thought it was going to be that big 1327 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,160 Speaker 2: of a deal. And maybe that's where they made the mistake, Mike, 1328 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,240 Speaker 2: is because they didn't understand the ramifications of it, or 1329 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 2: that their head coach would talk about it in a 1330 01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,680 Speaker 2: postgame press conference. That's where I think they got caught off. 1331 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 1: Now, what would have been really interesting if it was 1332 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three to three the other way? Would coach 1333 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:21,679 Speaker 1: have been mad? Would he have said a word? 1334 01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:22,840 Speaker 2: Sure? 1335 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 1: Yes? 1336 01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:23,840 Speaker 2: Right? 1337 01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 1: If they lose that game to Northwestern? Is that suddenly 1338 01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 1: because now you look like you're crying. Yeah, And that 1339 01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 1: you didn't get to wear. 1340 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 2: The right uniform, yes, exactly. Oh, uniforms would have made 1341 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:34,920 Speaker 2: the difference when you lost twenty three to three. 1342 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 1: All right, we'll do fantasy coming up in a couple 1343 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 1: of minutes. I want to tie a bow on a 1344 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,760 Speaker 1: story we did a few weeks ago. Dan, Remember the 1345 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 1: little leaguer in New Jersey that flipped his bat and 1346 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 1: got suspended as part of the Little League World Series. 1347 01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,799 Speaker 2: And then and then got reinstated, right, yep. 1348 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:53,639 Speaker 1: Last minute reinstation. Twelve year old Marco Rocco. His bat 1349 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 1: was auctioned off, with the proceeding proceeds going to the 1350 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 1: league he played for the hadn't field Little League winning bid. 1351 01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:04,280 Speaker 1: You want to guess how much this thing went for? 1352 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 2: One thousand bucks ninety. 1353 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,840 Speaker 1: Now this coming off of the you know, Jordan Kobe 1354 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,639 Speaker 1: card that went for twelve point three million, but nearly 1355 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars raised because of the bat flip and 1356 01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 1: folks being stoked about their local little league. So maybe 1357 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,640 Speaker 1: we need more of that across the country. Fund some 1358 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,200 Speaker 1: of those little league fields, keep them baseball. 1359 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 2: What an underwhelming piece of memorabilia? 1360 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:32,280 Speaker 4: What is that? 1361 01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:33,639 Speaker 2: Is that a Wade Bogs bat? 1362 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 5: No? 1363 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 2: Is that is that one of the bats that Mark 1364 01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 2: McGuire hit. No, it's remember the little leaguer that tossed 1365 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:45,559 Speaker 2: the bat up in the air. Oh, that's why it's aluminum. Unreal. 1366 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:50,759 Speaker 1: Marco Roco living on in the museum. 1367 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 2: We're gonna play Marco Rocco in the pool later today, 1368 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:54,759 Speaker 2: Marco Rocco. 1369 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 1: Marco you think in New Jersey there are some pools 1370 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 1: where that has been taking.

So Dan, fantasy football season is 1445 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,680 Speaker 1: really in fever. Pitch drafts all over. We're trying to 1446 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 1: build our guillotine league back out. But you've done a 1447 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,200 Speaker 1: few drafts. I've been in a couple, and you see 1448 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,080 Speaker 1: the movers and shakers coming out of the preseason trying 1449 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 1: to filter out noise. Yeah, but there are some names 1450 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: that you just can't avoid. Is there anybody that stood 1451 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,720 Speaker 1: out to you, like from your first draft to the 1452 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,680 Speaker 1: second to where you went huh that escalated. 1453 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 2: Quickly in the reverse fashion, Mi kid. It's something that 1454 01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:41,559 Speaker 2: we have talked about since February. Nobody wants Tyreek Kill. Yeah, 1455 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 2: nobody wants to touch Tyreek Kill, not only for what 1456 01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,680 Speaker 2: happened this offseason, but what happened last year and now 1457 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:50,720 Speaker 2: what's happening now where you don't know if Hill is 1458 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 2: even fully healthy. You also think it's going to be 1459 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:56,719 Speaker 2: a season where the Dolphins aren't good as a football team. 1460 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:01,600 Speaker 2: So you then say, and he stay locked in and 1461 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:05,519 Speaker 2: engaged for seventeen games out of the season. I think 1462 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,400 Speaker 2: the only maybe saving grace would be when a team 1463 01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,560 Speaker 2: want to acquire him in a trade. But in the 1464 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,680 Speaker 2: drafts that I've taken, Tyreek Hill has just fallen and 1465 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 2: fallen and fallen, and that hasn't changed my opinion from 1466 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,839 Speaker 2: February when we did our top sixty draft and Tyreek 1467 01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,800 Speaker 2: Hill just was still there, still there. Finally, we just 1468 01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,519 Speaker 2: had to take him off the board because at some 1469 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 2: point he's going to be a top sixty pick, there's 1470 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 2: no doubt about it. But he's just not where he's 1471 01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,200 Speaker 2: projected and where people have him ranked. He is not 1472 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 2: being drafted. 1473 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 1: It is curious, right because he's still fifteenth on Fantasy 1474 01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,840 Speaker 1: Pros in the overall average rankings, which puts him ahead 1475 01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,960 Speaker 1: of Mike Evans, DeVante Adams. DeVante Adams a guy with 1476 01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:48,640 Speaker 1: a little star next to him in terms of what 1477 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 1: the cohesion would be if Matt Stafford missed a bunch 1478 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,120 Speaker 1: of time. But you see him, I had of Courtland Sutton, 1479 01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:56,640 Speaker 1: I had of Dj Moore, Marvin Harrison junior that you 1480 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,360 Speaker 1: expect those are. That's where he's hanging out in drafts 1481 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,280 Speaker 1: for sure. Guy that's curious to me, and maybe his 1482 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: his draft stock rising a little more off the preseason 1483 01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 1: and now a better expectation of what the defense sets 1484 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,400 Speaker 1: up for Jordan Love and that's Matthew Golden, that somebody 1485 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 1: will break out because last year, how many times do 1486 01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:20,000 Speaker 1: we see that graphic the Packers have five guys with 1487 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,880 Speaker 1: at least four hundred receiving yards or six guys with 1488 01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 1: at least four like, no, no, they need a guy, 1489 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 1: and it seems like he might be able to break through. 1490 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,640 Speaker 1: So still being drafted as a fourth wide receiver in 1491 01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 1: most drafts, but the last couple that I've done, he's 1492 01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 1: creeping up into that WR three back end two. 1493 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 2: It may be a situation as well, Mike, because Jaden 1494 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 2: Reid is dinged up for Green Bay. Romeo Dobbs has 1495 01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 2: never really stayed healthy for them, so I don't know 1496 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 2: how much you can count on him. There's no Christian 1497 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 2: Watson for the first part of the season as he's 1498 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,639 Speaker 2: coming back from his injury. So you start going down 1499 01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,600 Speaker 2: the list and you're saying, well, who is there for 1500 01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 2: Jordan Love to throw to? Matthew Gold being the first 1501 01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 2: round pick that helps. That makes a lot of sense, and. 1502 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,280 Speaker 1: We've done a lot of press. I should get paid 1503 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,360 Speaker 1: at this point for Abuca down in Tampa. Now, Chris 1504 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,559 Speaker 1: Godwin's not gonna be available right away, but we think 1505 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield and what that offense looked like last year, 1506 01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,879 Speaker 1: more cohesion and a guy who slides into a beautiful 1507 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:24,040 Speaker 1: spot because McMillan's hurt as well, so opportunity knocks, he 1508 01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:24,719 Speaker 1: could miss. 1509 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:28,520 Speaker 2: Half the season. So Kate Dotton, by the way, another 1510 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 2: target also dinged up for Tampa. His Week one status 1511 01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,240 Speaker 2: is a bit in question for the Buccaneers. So then 1512 01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 2: you start going down the list of and you see 1513 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 2: the number of stats that Baker put up last year, 1514 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,880 Speaker 2: and you figure he's going to put them up again. 1515 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 2: There is one guy that I have gotten on both 1516 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 2: of my teams. I like Jerry Judy. With Joe Flacco 1517 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,600 Speaker 2: at quarterback in Cleveland, I know there's going to be 1518 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 2: some point where Flacco's gonna fall off the cliff. But 1519 01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,240 Speaker 2: I don't know what the Browns really have on offense, 1520 01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 2: but I know that Joe flaccolects to throw the football, 1521 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,920 Speaker 2: and then Jerry Judy is their top wide receiver in 1522 01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 2: my mind. So I like Jerry Judy. And Jerry Judy's 1523 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:10,000 Speaker 2: going around the area of a Mecca Abuka. He's going 1524 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,960 Speaker 2: around the area of Ricky Piersoll, Stefan Diggs, all of 1525 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:17,240 Speaker 2: those guys. I like Jerry Judy quite a bit in Cleveland, 1526 01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 2: at least for the first six weeks of the season. 1527 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:20,679 Speaker 2: If Joe Flacco is healthy. 1528 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and even look last year the numbers he was 1529 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 1: able to put up with not a whole lot of 1530 01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 1: consistencies at all. He didn't even have Joe Flacco coming 1531 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:32,720 Speaker 1: off his couch last year, So opportunity duff knock. We've 1532 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,439 Speaker 1: talked a lot about Trevon Anderson. I'm a big Chuber 1533 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 1: Hubbard guy. I think he's getting disrespect and coming off 1534 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,559 Speaker 1: a big year, and that offense will be better giving 1535 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,960 Speaker 1: him more opportunities a nice fine as a back end 1536 01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,840 Speaker 1: RB too. Dan, It's been a beautiful summer. Yes, now 1537 01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 1: he launched into the fall. You got to win under 1538 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:53,040 Speaker 1: your belt with your buck guys, I am licking my 1539 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 1: wounds after a twenty three to three defeat. But hey, 1540 01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,600 Speaker 1: we're still at zero's on the NFL board, and. 1541 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 2: A week from now we'll be said saying, oh my goodness, 1542 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 2: can you believe the Bengals have given up twenty eight 1543 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:04,200 Speaker 2: points in the first time? 1544 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 1: Hartman and Husky decks not Fox. Thanks everybody,
