He's 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.880 Paul Finebaum, host of The Paul Finebaum Show, Man Big 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.880 ten Media Day, Tony Battiti, the commissioner kind of poking 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:08.560 the SEC. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.560 And Greg Sanke, what'd you make of that? 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:15.079 Paul, Yeah, Dan, When you show up with three trophies 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.560 right by you, you're definitely telling the SEC where you 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:24.000 once sat and where you are now. Listen. I mean, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.359 I love a great show, so there's no way I 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:27.280 couldn't appreciate that. 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:32.079 But how important is this upcoming season for the SEC 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.960 with in football with those three, you know, back to 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.560 back to back titles, and I don't know how much 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.919 pressure is on the SEC as a whole. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.080 Yeah, Dan, I can give you a live report from that. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.160 I just spent four days last week at SEC Media Days, 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.480 and you can't put your order in at Starbucks with 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.080 out here hearing somebody talk about it. It's on everyone's mind. 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.000 And I was stupid enough year in one of these 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.679 interviews in August to say that if the SEC can't 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.960 beat the Big ten this year, I'm leaving the country. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.880 I lost so much money betting against Indiana last year. 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.160 I didn't have enough money to leave the country. So 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.520 I'm still here. I'm not making that claim anymore. Quite frankly, 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.680 I'm no longer I jumped off the Titanic. I'm no 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.600 longer saying that the SEC is the best conference. As 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.160 you know, I wrote a book about eleven or twelve 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.720 years ago saying the SEC, my conference, can beat your conference. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.360 Why the SEC school worlds college football? And by the way, Dan, 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.840 I can get you that book very cheap right now 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.720 for mere pennies on the dollar. Yeah, but the Big 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.520 Ten is the best conference. I mean, I mean, I 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:50.080 thought we'd get through media days without anyone claiming that. 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.160 And then on Friday there is my good friend and yours, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.680 Mike Greenberg interviewing. And I love when people say, your 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:03.040 colleague Nick Saban hold on, he's not my college. He's 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.960 got nine houses, he makes one hundred million dollars a year, 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.320 he owns about three Mercedes Benz dealerships. We shared the 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.840 same makeup person last week at SEC media Days, not 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.039 the same hair person. His hair person worked on him 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.400 for about an hour. They look at me and just 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.280 shake their head. But he said, the SEC has still 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.479 the best. And again I realize he's on the payroll 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.640 at Alabama, but the SEC is not the best. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.200 Dat Okay. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.880 What happened though? When did it stop being the best? 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:34.479 And why? 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.160 A couple of things happened. It was happening a little 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.839 bit before. I mean, Saban leaving didn't help. He did 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:46.800 win six national championships during his tenure at Alabama, one 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.560 before that at LSU. But I think the end of 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:55.839 Saban and really some very weird, bizarre and bad coaching hires. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.800 LSU has had three straight coaches to Winter National Championship 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.520 Saban less Miles. Now when less Miles wins the National 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.039 Championship a year school. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:12.040 Talent, yeah, and then oh, now, oh you're on. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.760 You know he had Joe Burrows and you know, endless 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.360 number of the NFL wide receivers. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.200 But Brian Kelly. Couldn't you know? 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.760 I was getting to Brian Kelly eventually. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.320 Uh he was a bus Uh. 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.640 No one really saw that when coming. Other other coaching 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.960 mistakes were made. But the person that really I think 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.880 is responsible for is Kirby Smart because he took over 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.000 for Saban. He won two in a row, probably should 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.800 have won two or three more. And then the last 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.160 couple of years, I mean three years ago, I think, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.160 not to start a war with the dealer deally departed 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.479 Jim Harball, but I think Georgia had the best team 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.239 in the country, uh in twenty three and they found 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.080 a way to lose the SEC championship game, which meant 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.040 they didn't go to the playoff and today they would have. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.200 So so that was one year, and then in the 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.240 next two years Georgia found a way to lose the 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.000 Notre Dame in the Trigger Bowl in last year. So 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.920 I think some of it's there, and just some very 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.119 average coaching decisions made in the SEC where the Big 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.599 Ten went out and really started shoring it up. And 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:22.520 you know, Signette's already been litigated. But Dan Laning, you know, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.800 he's an SEC guy. He worked for Saving, he worked 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.160 for Kirby, he's at Oregon, and you have other situations 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:34.080 like that. And you know, the biggest surprise is Ryan Day. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.920 I mean, he was about to get fired a couple 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.320 of years ago and he screwed everyone up by winning 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.960 the National Championships. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.359 Talking to Paul Finebaumb, host of The Paul Fine Baumb Show, 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.880 twenty fourteen playoff feels like it's not a question of if. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:56.360 But when I agree yeah, and again, Tony Fatigi wants it. Now, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.960 what does Tony Fatiti want? He's the Big Ten commissioner 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.919 from coinn as the Harvard Law degrees, but in baseball, 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.920 been in television. It's the television play He said, I'm 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.640 more than willing to give up the Big Ten Championship game. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:12.000 The SEC is not. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.880 The SEC claims the Big Ten Championship. The SEC championship 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.000 game is worth one hundred million dollars DAN but the SE. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.640 What they don't really want you to know is that 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:26.080 right now ESPN controls the college Football Playoff at twelve. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.560 If it starts getting larger, they lose the exclusivity, which 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.120 means that they they get to sell those early games 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.760 between Liberty and Oregon and Kulane and Ole miss that 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.800 that even ESPN, at the risk of I don't want 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.400 to go down the road a few weeks ago, but 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.200 ESPN SCN outsources those games. They I mean, you are there. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.080 Did they ever outsource games when you worked at ESPN? No, 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.720 they outsource those because they're they're played like eleven o'clock 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.400 in the morning and three in the afternoon while you're 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:01.400 doing Christmas shopping. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:03.880 Who is Indiana this year? 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.960 If it's not Indiana, Yeah, I don't think it is 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:13.400 Indiana because they have a really difficult schedule. I don't 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:18.400 I'm not convinced they can get there. But Penn State 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.200 has a chance. And in case you missed it, James 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.160 Franklin is no longer there, so they will be good again. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:30.600 Rest assured that national nightmare of twelve years is over. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.200 They have a very good coach in Matt Campbell. He 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.520 was always on somebody's list. The Cowboys, this school of Acts. 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.840 They had the easiest schedule in the country. They don't 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.719 play any of the top three teams in the Big 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.400 ten Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon. So if you miss, that's 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.120 three losses right there that they can overcome. And if 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.600 they can find a way to nine ten wins, they're 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.120 probably gonna need ten wins because their three non conference 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:59.680 games are against Alleghany Altoona in East Pittsburgh High School. 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.160 How did Lane Kiffin do last week at the SEC 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:05.120 media day? 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:05.800 Oh? 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.920 I missed that, Dan. I wish you had let me 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.320 know he was going to be there. I would have 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.200 paid more attention. He did great, and I'll tell you 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:16.040 why he didn't say a word. He got in there 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.360 in philibuster and he probably you probably played the clip, 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.080 but I mean the most profound statement he made when 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.120 asked why he left why he left Ole miss in 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.760 the midst of a playoff run, He got into a 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:32.080 diet trob about his dad dying, which everybody feels badly about. 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.560 The famous coach Montey Kiffin, and then he connected his 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.160 dad dying to the death of hul Cogan. He said, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:44.640 I just never saw that coming, Listen, I saw the 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.240 thirty for thirty on hull Cogan. How he made it 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.600 to forty, I'll never know, let alone sixty eight or 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.920 whatever it was when they tagged his toe. So I 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.880 just don't know Dan what Kiffen was trying to prove 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.800 other than he didn't really want to talk about it. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.679 But he'll get a few more offer tunities in case 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.000 some of you folks have missed it. First game of 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:08.200 the season, Prime time Clemson at LSU, and then the 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.640 third game, stop me if you got this one marked 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.520 on your calendar. September nineteenth, Lane goes back to Ole 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.439 Miss and what's even remarkable about the LSU schedule. In November, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:24.520 Lane gets to go back to Tennessee, so he will 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:29.400 be hated twice to the there will be a brawl 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.760 in the street somewhere between Miss and Ole Miss fans 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.839 and Tennessee fans about which school hates Lane Kiffin the most. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.359 He doesn't play USC though. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.320 No, but can you imagine that's the first round of 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.720 the playoffs. Layne Kiffin and he has to go to 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:45.480 Southern cow. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.800 Always great to talk to you. You're in mid season 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.160 form already. I'm very very impressed. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.640 Then it's a pleasure.

Hi, Sam, what 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.160 do you have for me today? 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:48.839 Great? 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.160 Thanks for taking my call, man, Yeah, appreciate it. Hey. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.440 And the first part is is I need to give 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.319 you an example of something I think that's going to 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:04.480 happen soon than later. And it's about unionizing college football, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.600 or at least distributing the wealth somehow. And what I've 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:13.160 done is I've taken an example of Diego Pavia, the 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.120 kid that transferred to Vanderbilt. But I mean, let's say 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.520 he stayed. A real charismatic kid like him, stayed in 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.280 New Mexico State. They're getting ready to go play at 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.440 this A and M. And he says, hey, guys, I 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.120 got to tell you something. Everybody we're playing against is 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.040 making two and a half three million dollars a year. Hey, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.160 and not only that, their head coach makes about fourteen 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:39.319 fifteen thousand dollars a day. Let's not come out a halftime, 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.360 and we want to get paid cash. We want five 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.079 grand each if we lose, no big deal. If we win, 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:47.600 we get another five grand each. 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.120 Yeah, but don't just I would just say, all right, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:51.079 you forfeited. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:51.720 Move on. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:59.320 Stanford is looking into unionizing their athletes. This has happened before, 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.560 Northwestern many years ago. Try to do this. You have 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.600 to do this with college football. You have to do it. 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.560 So there's going to be and we've talked about this 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:15.520 many times. We're going to get to maybe thirty schools, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.400 maybe thirty five schools. I don't know if you could 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.320 stretch it to forty. Who are going to have the money, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.520 have the resources to be able to keep up with 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.240 these other schools, and the revenue you're going to have 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.439 the rest of these schools that are going to be 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.559 viewed as junior college that you're going to take players 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.640 from them. You might take somebody from Miami of Ohio 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.960 or Akron and then you compensate that school for taking 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.680 their quarterback or their running back or wide receiver. We're 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.520 just there's too much money involved in this. For years 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.160 and years and years and years and years, I said, 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.720 can we get to four teams? Can we get to 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:57.760 a four team playoff? 0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:58.120 Oh? 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.280 My god, No, nobody wants said, coaches don't want it. Privately, 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.439 I remember talking to two prominent coaches and I said, 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.600 what's wrong with the fourteen playoff? 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:10.319 And both said. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.959 Nothing, And go, well, wait a minute, who doesn't want this? 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.800 It was just we were fed this. It was a 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.760 company line. And then I go, once we get to four, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.960 they're going to realize how much money and then we're 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.680 going to double it and go to eight. Well they 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.200 went to twelve, and now all of a sudden, it's twelve. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:36.640 Look at all the money. Nobody passes on money, especially 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.720 college athletics, especially college football. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.880 And that's what's happening. Now we're going to go to 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:43.520 twenty four. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.360 They never regress, they never go You know what, I 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.520 think we expanded too much, like March Madness. You know what, 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.280 sixty eight seems like too many. No, now we go 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.080 to seventy two, seventy six. That's what's going to continue 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.040 to happen. You have this money, it's there, go get 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.640 it for you know, as long as we have something 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.520 called the NC Double A, but that's going to go 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.080 away or NC DOUBLEA is going to govern smaller schools 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:17.560 and other sports. That's what's going to happen. College football 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.720 will certainly be on to its own island, and you're 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.560 going to have a semi pro, minor league Triple A 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:33.680 type situation here, and nobody's going to be surprised. The 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.960 question is when do we get there. But we're going 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.960 to get there, and then you're going to have divisions. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:46.360 We'll go back to maybe USC and Oregon are you know, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.400 playing in their division on the West Coast, kind of 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.200 like the Rams and the Seahawks. And I think you're 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.280 going to have hedge funds. You're going to have people 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:03.400 coming in wanting to own a college footballing. Hey I'm 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.600 putting up fifty million dollars now it's my football team. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:13.600 It may sound crazy, but man, I passed crazy a 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.320 long time ago when it comes to sports, certainly college football. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:18.960 Yeah, pulling and college football. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:20.760 Like you said, when it gets to twenty four teams 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.000 in the playoff, which is inevitable because you don't pass 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.600 on money, it's going to look like FCS football. They've 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.840 had that playoff for a long time and one of 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.200 the benefits and you're not a twenty four guy. I'm 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.280 not a twenty four guys. That gap from the conference 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.040 title games to playoff games, you have that long gap, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:37.440 and it's just this filler. 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:38.720 It'll be gone. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.960 There'll be instantaneously, there'll be relevant playoff games and people 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:42.920 will end up liking it. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.440 You know, the conference title games I was. I knew 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.320 it was a money grab. I got it, but it 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.840 also impacted teams making the playoffs chance to play for 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.320 a national championship. And Paul Finebon pointed that out. If 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.960 there's relegation, okay, that would be fun, but you have 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.960 to have the money to be able. North Dakota State 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:09.680 can't compete with the budget of Ohio State. And if 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.800 you have relegation. Now granted, if you look at the 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.159 Premier League, not all of those teams have the same wealth. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.800 They don't have the same bucket. But that might be 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:23.680 something that's fun. If you win, you know that national championship, 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.800 you're automatically put in and you know we kick a 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.119 school out, Yes, MARVH. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.879 Now can college football do the same thing that college 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.920 basketball does, Like when they have the first and second 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.600 round at NCAA tournament, they can say this is hosted 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.000 by the Big Ten Conference and have those first four 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.320 first five games at wherever the Big Ten title game 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.520 was supposed to be what the SEC title game is 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.400 supposed to be at a Mercedes Benz. 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.119 Yeah, I think everything's on the table. I mean the 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.719 fact that it's gotten so out of hand that college 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:57.280 football is asking Congress to help clean up college football. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.040 I mean, you have a town. 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.679 With no speed limits and now you're asking Congress to 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:09.640 help you with implementing speed limits. Let's take a break. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.280 We got more phone calls coming up back after this. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.160 Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.879 Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.879 on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio w. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.600 App Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.520 day five to seven pm Eastern. 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:28.320 But here's the thing. 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.600 We never have enough time to get to everything we 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:31.240 want to get. 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.600 To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.440 called over Promised.

The NFL Defensive Player 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:35.200 of the Year odds Miles Garrett plus four fifty, Will 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:40.040 Anderson Junior the third plus seven hundred, Aiden Hutchinson plus 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.240 eight hundred, Max Crosby plus eight fifty, Nick Bosa plus 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:49.240 thirteen hundred.

Of course, a non quarterback, Paul b 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:12.800 John Robinson he is second. Marvin Barkley Saquon Barkley is 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.159 not in the top five. 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:22.920 Todd Jalen Wattle. Jalen Wattle have a big It's. 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.159 Gonna have a big year in Denver from the Miami 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.480 Come on, can you be objected? I think top ten 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:33.240 jerm you don't get points, all right, you're no fun, 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.240 You're not. I thought of Josh Allen, but then you 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.200 said no quarterbacks because that's an MVP award. 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:45.159 Jamiir Gibbs your favorite, then b Jean Robinson, Jamar Chase, 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:57.160 Puka Nakua, Christian McCaffrey, interesting, Jamier Gibbs. Okay, yeah, they're 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:01.800 all worthy candidates. There is Pooka not getting his contract extended. 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:07.120 Feels like that was happening and then not happening. Yeah, Paulie. 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.600 With Pooka's off season, there was a lot of coverage 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.800 of different things. You kind of forget he had one 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.040 hundred and twenty nine catches seventeen hundred yards last year. 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:16.600 What's his contract situation? 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.439 Because I thought that they were going to give him 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:25.480 an extension and then that kind of quieted down. Dustin 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.080 in Alabama, High Dustin, What do you have for me today? 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:30.120 Dan? 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:31.920 My man is great.

Saints are going to be 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.800 phenomenal this year, y'all. Just wait and see nobody's talking 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.040 about him. But we got such an easy schedule and 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.159
