1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody Happy fou gayzy Friday.

2
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone is having a great day. It looks like

3
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: we got some football stuff to talk about, and I thought,

4
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, kind of got we got a week calm

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: before the storm right now, a couple of things I

6
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: want to hit on. So I thought, let's just do

7
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: a little football rapid fire hit on five topics, from

8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: Rogers saying what he is willing to play for, to

9
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: a coach talking about Travis Hunter's ability to go both ways.

10
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: And Lee Corso officially has retired from College Game Day,

11
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: the long standing show on ESPN and one of I

12
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: would say the greatest pregame shows in the history of sports.

13
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: If not, I mean probably the great It's my favorite

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: for sure. So we'll just go rapid fire hit on

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: a couple of topics, get in and out of here.

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Nothing to crazy today on this Fugayzy Friday. But before

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: we dive in to Rogers on McAfee, you know, I

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: got to tell you about my friends, my partners in

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: the official ticketing app of this podcast. Listen, do you

20
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: want to go to a game? Do you want to

21
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: go to a concert? Do you want to go to

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: a comedy show. Do you want to get out of

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: the house and do something fun, because we all do

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: sometimes the monotony of life just doing the same thing

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: over and over. You got to mix it up. And

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: that's where my friends at game time come through. So

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: any game, college, pro basketball, baseball, obviously during the football season, concerts,

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: concert season is about to kick off, it's heating up,

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: the sun is coming out. You want to go outside.

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to a festival? You can

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: search by arena, you can search by stadium. It doesn't

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: get any easier by price point any concert too, and

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I've used this countless times for concerts. Easy to search

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: by where the stage is so you can tell what

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: your view is. It doesn't get any easier to use.

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: So take the guest work out of buying tickets with

37

Speaker 1: Game Time app the day, last minute tickets, lowest prices guaranteed. Well,

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: I watched what I thought was like gonna be the

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: whole Aaron Rodgers interview and then he just went on

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: and on and I just clicked it off and did

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: something else. It looks like Aaron Rodgers is still unsure.

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: And to me, the funniest thing that happened today, by far,

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: was when he told McAfee He's like, you know, I'm

48
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: willing to play for ten ms. Like what did he

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: just say? And then Pat was like, you're willing to

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: pay play for ten million? But the way he just

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: nonchalantly and it shows you. I mean, this is a

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: guy who's made hundreds of millions of dollars to ninety

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: to even rich people like where you're gonna make ten

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: million dollars and it is a huge pay cut for him.

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: But how he threw that out there is I audibly laughed.

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: I was actually watching it on the StairMaster because it

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, I'm going to in and out. You

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: want something, You're like, yeah, get me two cheeseburgers. He's like, yeah,

59
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: I'll just play for ten ms. But while very funny,

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I do think, like, listen, I give him credit, you

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: know now, I'm not acting like even if he was

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: dead set on playing and was really like was already

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: willing to show up because he didn't have off the

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: field stuff going on. It's not like he was gonna

65
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: get forty fifty million dollars, but like coming into it,

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: like I don't need that much money to play. We

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: just saw Russell Wilson get what ten point five million

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed, And we know Russell Wilson isn't nearly as

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: good as Aaron Rodgers now both aren't nearly as good

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: as they once were. But listen, I give the guy

71
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: credit for it's pretty clear that if he does play,

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: this is gonna be his last year, and he's making

73
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: it pretty easy on the teams that are somewhat interested

74
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: in him. Pretty funny story about how he ran some

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: again shitty car for him, Chevy Malibu. No hate to

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: anyone out there driving Chevy Malibu's I drive a Chevy

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: so Pro chevyes here. But how we tried to go

78
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: in to the Pittsburgh Steelers very under the radar, and

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: clearly someone in that building, you know, tipped quote unquote

80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: the press, but who knows. Like I left the portion

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: of the interview that I watched thinking it's not guaranteed

82
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: that he plays, and I think We're at the point

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: where we're either getting one more Aaron Rodgers season, right,

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: he ends up playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think

85
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: the New York Giants are clearly not happening, and Minnesota

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: is kind of the curveball if they go back to him,

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, after Ota is not being confident with mcar

88
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: with JJ McCarthy, or he just never plays again. You know,

89
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: he just never plays again. The big headline that's going

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: viral is the Aaron Glenn and you know, Aaron, I

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: think dramatized now in his point of view, Aaron Rodgers

92
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: never been fired, right. Aaron Rodgers has never been fired

93
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: in a business where everyone gets fired beside a tiny,

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: tiny percentage of players that just retire on their own,

95
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: but literally everyone else in his world, right, coaches and

96
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: players get fired, and I think he has never had

97
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: that happen. Like the amount of players who have been

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: called into the GM or head coach's office, whether it's

99
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: a new head coach, whether it's a head coach that

100
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: you've been playing for and been told your services are

101
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: no longer needed. We're going in a different direction. Is

102
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of the league. I would say just

103
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: about every coach in the league has been directly or

104
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: indirectly fired working for a staff. Maybe the head coach

105
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: was fired and they get fired because of it. But

106
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: it happens all the time in football. And for Aaron,

107
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: who has lived a pretty good life, like when you've

108
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: been flying, you know, in first class for twenty years

109
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you're at the back of

110
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines, It's like it would rattle any human being, right,

111
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: So he gets called into the office and did it

112
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: happen smoothly? Who knows? Is it ever easy to tell

113
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: someone like you're done? And I know he was offended

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: that they didn't pick his brain about everything. I just

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: think once you're told like you're done, that just rattles

116
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: the situation. Especially it's a new, first time head coach,

117
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna be awkward, you know, like welcome to the club, Aaron.

118
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: People get fired in the NFL, and it took twenty

119
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: plus years for this guy's career for it to happen.

120
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: So it's a testament to how good he's been. But

121
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: it ends, you know, with the Jets, and listen, because

122
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: it's the Jets, it's easy for him to take shots

123
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of flame it on the way out,

124
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: and you know he's probably you know, telling the truth.

125
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: It would have been a lot more difficult for him to.

126
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: You know. It's like when he tried to give his

127
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: side of the story, and one thing I would push

128
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: back on. Aaron loves playing like, you know, I don't

129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: know what's going on. If it wasn't for my sister

130
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: and my cousin and that other dude in my inner circle,

131
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know anything. I wouldn't know nothing. It's like Aaron,

132
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, let's we're all born at night. We weren't

133
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: born last night. Like, come on, buddy, let's let's to

134
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: act like you don't have somewhat of a feel for

135
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: what's being said about you is to me a little

136
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: disingenuous at this point in time. And then he, you know,

137
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: he loves going on these like long drawn out just

138
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: and I get it, like listen, I have vandettas, and

139
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: if I was him and a bunch of people talking

140
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: shit about you, I get it. But he loves playing that.

141
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for someone shooting him over the information,

142
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: he would have no clue. It would just exist somewhere

143
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: on the Internet and he'd be living his life with

144
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: his dog Apollo. But tens Man, he's willing to play

145
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: for ten ms. John Harbaugh, I got to give John

146
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: Harbaugh credit. He said something that I have to agree with,

147
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: and he said that he didn't think there were enough

148
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: hours in the day to play both ways in the NFL.

149
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: And I think, listen, we're all in agreement. What Travis

150
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Hunter accomplished last year is unprecedented. I mean, it's remarkable,

151
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: it's very deserving. Heisman candidate, it was badass. You know,

152
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: tip my hat, You're a badass bro. That was sick.

153
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: But to think that you're going to be able to

154
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: do it in the NFL, and I hate just naturally

155
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: taking like you can't do this. I hate that mindset

156
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: right of just like you can't because I think you

157
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: can get into very I think negative people tend to

158
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: have that, But I also think sometimes in life you

159
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: got to be realistic, right and go yeah, I think

160
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: this is borderline impossible to be a full time player

161
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. And what Harball was

162
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: saying is like defense, you know, and he's a defensive guy.

163
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: My take has simply been the amount of talent at

164
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the NFL, is has never been higher

165
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: in terms of team by team. So just look at

166
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: his own division. He's got DK Metcalf. Assuming let's say

167
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: the Browns take him. It's like, well, we're playing the

168
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: Bengals week one and the Steelers week two. It's like,

169
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: who you got. He's like, well, this week you got

170
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: Jamar Chason T Higgins. Then you got assuming he tries

171
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: George Pickens and DK Metcalf, godspeed. I mean, he's like,

172
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: it's this isn't the Big twelve. As Dan Hawkins said,

173
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: welcome to the Big twelve, brother, And I think to

174
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: be able to do that and what some guys have

175
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: done in the past of just going on to play

176
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver and running the occasional go route is a

177
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: lot different than playing forty to fifty snaps also on

178
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: offense and running routes constantly blocking, constantly running routes that

179
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: are basically decoy. So it just means you're flying down

180
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: the field. I think it's borderline impossible. And I don't

181
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: even think it's from a metal standpoint. Obviously, it would

182
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: be a lot from a physical standpoint at that level.

183
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: I would say this in a weird way, and listen,

184
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. He's so young, it's not like

185
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: he's ever played in the NFL. But for anyone that

186
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: says like, no, not only can he do it, he

187
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: should do it and he'll be good at it, to me,

188
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of like almost offensive to the guys at

189
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: the highest level in the NFL. Like if I was

190
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase or I was DK Metcalf, It's like, wait,

191
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: you think you can split practice reps and fucking cover me?

192
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: Right?

193
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: If I'm Patrick Shirtan or whoever. On defense, it's like, wait,

194
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: you think you've been screwing around on defense and now

195
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna get open on me. You know, this is

196
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: all I do. Like I got eighty million in the bank,

197
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: I got three Pro Bowls, I was second in the

198
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, I got seven range rovers

199
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: two homes. Because this is what I do. And I

200
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: think you got to be very careful about just thinking

201
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: these things are as easy as what just happened. I

202
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: would put more, you know, more behind it if he

203
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: would just have done that in the SEC. But I'm sorry,

204
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: I would say the Big Twelve by far is the

205
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: worst conference of the group. And the talent in that

206
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: conference is just not even remotely close to what he's

207
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: about to walk in to, assuming that he gets drafted

208
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: by the Cleveland Browns. So we'll see how it plays out.

209
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: But I'm in agreement with John Harbaugh. Not possible. Andrew

210
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Berry said something it really you know, I wish I

211
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: get why I didn't do it, But if Lamar had

212
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: run the forty when he was coming out at the Combine,

213
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: he definitely I'm sure. I mean, he was probably a

214
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: little lighter than probably the fastest he's ever been was

215
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: leonomous career. He's clearly still really fast, but that college

216
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: version of Lamar and then like that first year or

217
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: two Lamar Jackson was I don't know, four two five.

218
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: And Andrew Berry said something today which I get it.

219
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: He's propping the guy up and Jalen Milroe is going

220
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: to the draft like Jalen Milroe. I don't know exactly

221
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: how this works. I've never worked you know, at ESPN,

222
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: at NFL network, how they talk with the draft prospects.

223
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: I think clearly they've tried to shrink the group that goes.

224
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's just randomly like, hey, Jalen

225
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: you want to go to the draft. It's like, oh,

226
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: I might get drafted in the third or fourth round.

227
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Not saying he's going to go in the first round,

228
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: but there's clearly some momentum and buzz about his physical attributes.

229
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: Like you talk about a big project, I mean we

230
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: have seen way less talented quarterbacks get drafted from pick

231
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: fifteen to thirty in the last ten plus years. Now.

232
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's gonna be any good. It doesn't mean

233
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: his flaw of some accuracy issues, but just in terms

234
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: of what you know to mold the piece of clay.

235
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: It happened with Josh Allen whatever, six seven years ago.

236
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: So people are gonna like this guy as a project

237
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: with freakish talent. And Andrew Berry said that he might

238
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: be the one guy that it's immediately faster than Lamar

239
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: and he ran a four to four to roh at

240
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: the combine, and Jalen Milrose, a freak athlete, can fly.

241
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: But I and listen, Lamar is whatever, twenty eight, twenty

242
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: nine years old. He's probably not Like if he just

243
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: ran the forty, it'd still be fast, but would he

244
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: run of what he would have five years ago? I

245
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: just wish he would have ran it, because I think

246
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: we'd be talking like remember when Lamar Jackson ran a

247
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: four to two six at the combine or a four

248
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: to three to one, because I'll promise you this early on,

249
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was faster than four to four to ZHO

250
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: no question in my mind. If you listened yesterday, we

251
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: had Jake Dickert, the former Washington State coach who's now

252
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: at Wake Forest on the podcast. He was really good,

253
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: impressive guy. Got to root for coach cam Ward for

254
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Last year, coach John Mattier who's

255
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: now at Oklahoma, who is the big transfer portal guy

256
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: this year, and it was really interesting to hear him

257
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: talk about like how I mean, clearly he's really into

258
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: having a personnel department. He's got a GM that he

259
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: brought from Washington State that he clearly leans on. And

260
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking about this. In the pros,

261
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: there aren't any rules, right, I mean technically, I think

262
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: as a scout, when you go into college, you're not

263
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: supposed to talk to like a freshman sophomore, a guy

264
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: that's not draft eligible, right, especially about like draft prospects.

265
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you can run into him in the hallway

266
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: and bullshit with him. It's not like you're gonna get

267
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: arrested by the NFL, but it's there are some rules,

268
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: not that it really matters, but for the most part,

269
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: of like a GM wants to go to a college

270
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: football game, if a coach wants to go to a

271
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: college football game, anyone can go to these programs during

272
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: the week. It's actually on the college to be like, yeah,

273
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: we're actually closed this week. But for the most part,

274
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: anyone at any time the NFL can either set up

275
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: a time to go see players, can just go see

276
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: the players during the week. It's very easy. It's an

277
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: open door policy. I remember the running joke was during

278
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: the Nick saban eras like it is by far the

279
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: most pro friendly program in the country. If a scout

280
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: wanted to come to the building at three point thirty

281
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: in the morning, Alabama would have someone to open the

282
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: door for you at three thirty in the morning. And

283
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: in college it's different. Yet now we have these gms

284
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: all over the country that are clearly playing big jobs

285
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: in the program. I mean, I don't know how many

286
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: of them there are, but there are definitely a handful

287
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: that are making over a million dollars to be GMS,

288
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: and then the majority of the country's probably making between

289
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: five hundred and a million dollars. So all these power

290
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: for programs, these guys are making a lot of coin

291
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: because their job now is really really important. Yet during

292
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: the fall, and I always thought this was kind of

293
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: not just crazy, but also difficult. Your scouts in college

294
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: football historically have always been the coaches. So sometimes in

295
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: my experience, you would play on like a Saturday, and

296
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: sometimes by the time you got to Thursday, you would

297
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: send some coaches out on the road. Like if you

298
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: were at Fresno State or cal or USC you might

299
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: not go to New Jersey or Florida, but it would

300
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: be pretty easy to go, i don't know, thirty minutes

301
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: away and a couple hours away, maybe even fly up

302
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: the state and watch a high school game that Friday,

303
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: even though you were playing the next day. And if

304
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: you have access to private transportation in the air or

305
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: it's driving distance, you just come back meet the team

306
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: either that night or the next morning to get ready

307
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: for the game, assuming that you're playing at home, and

308
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: sometimes on the road you do the same thing, like

309
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: go hit if you're playing somewhere in Texas or Arizona,

310
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: or in an area where you're recruiting kids, you go

311
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: see players, but that's difficult. You're trying to get ready

312
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: for a game and you're going to watch a high

313
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: school game. That doesn't happen in the pros because think

314
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: about it, your coaches don't leave the team during the fall.

315
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: They don't even get in the draft process till like

316
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: a month or two before your scouts do that. So

317
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: why do the rules? It shows you how archaic this

318
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: is and it needs to change. And Dickert was all

319
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: over it as like these gms and personnel departments should

320
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: be able during the season on a Friday night, all

321
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: over the country, whoever you're recruiting, be able to go

322
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: attend those games and talk to the kids and talk

323
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: to their family, just like a coach, a head coach,

324
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: a coordinator, or a position coach would be able to.

325
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: It would actually make everything so much easier on the program.

326
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: And I would imagine over the next couple of years

327
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: it's inevitable that that is the end of result. But

328
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: right now for that still being quote unquote illegal feels

329
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: kind of laughable. I remember, I don't remember. I mean

330
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: it was just a couple weeks ago. But when the

331
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: National Championship was going on, you're seeing Kelvin Samson, he's

332
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: coaching Houston. Obviously, I mean they probably should have won

333
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: that won that game. But I remember when he got

334
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: fired and if you remember what he got fired for,

335
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: it was for texting people. And once upon a time

336
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: you were not allowed to text recruits. Think how insane

337
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: that is. I mean, think how crazy that is. I

338
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: was just watching a clip from Lane, who went on

339
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: THEO Vaughn's podcast Sneaky, pretty funny. THEO is Lane's Lane

340
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: looks skinny, sober, He's just doing yoga. And Lane was

341
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: like back in the day you could follow a guy

342
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: on Twitter, Instagram. It was a period in which I

343
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: couldn't text the player, but I could shoot him a DM.

344
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: And this is the downfall of the NCAA, which is

345
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: clearly crumbling day by day, minute by minute, is they

346
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: became so bureaucratic and so like the things that they

347
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: stood for and created started to make no sense because listen,

348
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: there are always going to be rules that people are

349
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: going to disagree with. It starts when you're a young kid, right,

350
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: even if there's merit behind it. Even if there is

351
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: like this is the right thing to do, people push

352
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: back against rules, welcome to life. But there also is

353
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: a time where it's like, yeah, this doesn't make sense,

354
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: like this is insane. What are we doing? I get

355
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: like in theory on the whiteboard, but in practice, right now,

356
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: this got to stop. I remember people, my friends that

357
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: lived in San Francisco during twenty twenty when you could

358
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: not go outside and the parking tickets, like you couldn't

359
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: go anywhere, and they were getting parking tickets on a

360
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: daily basis. Like, guys, everything is shut down, like you

361
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: need to stop this, And this feels like one of

362
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: those situations. It's like we need to rip this up

363
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: right now. Because a GM and a personnel guy at

364
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: a college should be able to recruit a high school player. Honestly,

365
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: they should be able to go into the player's living

366
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: room and have dinner like a position coach would. The

367
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: NBA eighty two game grind is done, and now the

368

00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: In last, but not least, it was announced today that

400
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: Lee Corso, the legendary iconic figure for ESPN, is retiring,

401
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and I was I was reading a little bit about

402
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: like this College Game Day officially started in nineteen eighty seven.

403
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty crazy. We're just a couple of

404
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: years away from that show being forty years old. But

405
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: for the first six years of the show, they didn't

406
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 1: go on the road. So I think early on on

407
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: that show they were in studio, and then in nineteen

408
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: ninety three they started doing what they've been doing forever now,

409
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: is go to these big games and make it a

410
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: big production, and over the last what twenty plus years,

411
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: It's I feel like one of the biggest sports shows

412
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: you could argue College Game Day and NBA on TNT

413
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: with Barkley and Ernie and Kenny, you know, are probably

414
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: the two biggest pre post game type shows of my lifetime.

415
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: And I think I was thinking about this, you know,

416
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: for a long time. Sometimes I'll see clips from like

417
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: ESPN Radio or something on ESPN, It's like, who the

418
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: hell is that? Like what who are they promoting at

419
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: that company? And I was it kind of hit me today,

420
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: like that company is not going to create stars anymore.

421
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: And when I was a kid at ESPN, the stars

422
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: that were created under the umbrella of the Four Letter

423
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: Network was pretty remarkable. And those days are done.

424
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: Like they don't get credit for Pat McAfee. He just

425
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: did his show and they just added it to him.

426
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: They had nothing to do with him, right, They hired

427
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: his show and they don't even get to touch it.

428
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 3: And if you think about probably two of their biggest

429
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: guys of the network, Steven A. Smith and Scott Van Pelt.

430
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Steven A. Smith fifty eight years old.

431
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: I think Scott Van Pelt's over fifty five years old

432
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: the young talent and the young stars or just people

433
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: that are gonna be stars like those days are dead,

434
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 3: and and Lee Corso and Dick Vitel are two examples

435
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: of Now, these were former coaches, but they went to

436
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: ESPN after their coaching careers ended slash, they pivoted and

437
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 3: they became the faces of the network for college football

438
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: in college basketball. And if you think about it, like

439
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 3: the two guys, there's really four guys when I think

440
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: college football and college basketball that are synonymous with ESPN,

441
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 3: it's Jay Billis and Dick Ftel and Kirk Herb Street

442
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 3: and Lee Corso. Well, when you think about the four guys,

443
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: Herb Street and Billis are very similar, good looking guys,

444
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: very professional, just really high level guys, former players at

445
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: really high levels. Herb Street quarterback Ohio State, Billis coach

446
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: k Duke mid eighties. Yet when you close your eyes

447
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: and think about the two big stars of the network

448
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: for those brands, it was the guys with the huge personalities.

449
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: And I just saw a clip, not a clip, but

450
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: an article wh Lee Corso early on told Tim Brando,

451
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 3: I want to become the Dick fi Tale of college football.

452
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: And one thing with Dicky V just like Lee Corso is.

453
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 3: They were a huge, huge part of.

454
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: The explosion of the game and the explosion of celebrating

455
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: the sport and listen, I love golf and they use

456
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: this term a lot with live and the PGA Tour

457
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: and YouTube golf of like growing the game. I do

458
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: think Lee Corso and dig Fi Tel who obviously Dicky

459
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: V has been battling cancer. I mean Lee Corso has

460
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: two things can be true. Today is a celebration day.

461
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: It's an awesome day to just celebrate this great show,

462
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: this great man, this iconic figure in the business. And

463
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: rolling him out the last couple of years. And I

464
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: understand it's never easy to end with a legend, right,

465
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: and this transition has been tough, but them rolling him

466
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: out the last couple of years has been very, very

467
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: difficult to watch. There have been times where it's like

468
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of sad, right, It's like, how are they putting

469
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: him on television right now? And they clearly have been

470
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: trying to transition the last couple of years, adding Saban

471
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: last year, adding McAfee the last couple of years, trying

472
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: to get a younger vibe, and the Lee's done less

473
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: and less, but now it's officially over and like Saban

474
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: is good, but it's not the same. There's an element

475
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: and I think what they tried to do is basically

476
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: McAfee and Saban were like combined into one to equal

477
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: Lee Corso. And it's just hard because there's only one

478
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: original and the same thing with Dicky V. Like they

479
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: didn't replace Dicky V. There's no replacing Dicky V. There's

480
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: no replacing Lee Corso. Now I think Lee, you know,

481
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't who knows what he'll be able to say

482
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: on his last show, But the game is in a

483
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: better place and it's as popular as ever because of

484
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, even if it's kind of weird

485
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: with the nil with the twelve team playoff, that's probably

486
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: gonna expand even more. I mean, we got a lot

487
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: of moving parts here. But when I think college football,

488
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: one of the first things I think of is college

489
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: game Day, and obviously a guy putting on the mascot

490
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: at the end of that show as we go in

491
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: and transition into the first games of the day. He

492
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: was a massive, massive part of most of our lives

493
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: that love the sport. The volume
